THE IMPRESSIONS OF THE SUMMER OF 76 ARE STILL UPON US. 3 4 AS THE TIDE IMPRESSES UPON THE SHORE; THE FACULTY SHAPES THE ATMOSPHERE OF LEARNING. 7 8 n 12 Activities, Events, Involvement, Impress Others With Our Energetic Response. 15 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1928 1928 HORIZONS ’77-78 A PAST TO HONOR, A FUTURE TO MOLD The first fifty years have come and gone, leaving their indelible marks upon us. We suffered through meeting the challenge of the times in 1927, with the help of Monsignor McCloskey, whose dynamic leadership of his parish made possible the dedication of the present Red Bank Catholic High School on Board Street. Since then we have prospered from a senior graduating class of 12 students from 6 parishes in 1928, to a graduating class of 296 students from 39 parishes in 1977. In 1934, Sister Mary Wilfred (current principal), gained an accredited membership in the Middle Atlantic Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Several major changes occured in 1944 when the elementary grades were moved to separate quarters, and the Broad Street building became exclusively a high school. Concurrently the first issue of the “Signpost”, the school paper, and Volume I of the “Emerald” appeared. Ah yes, those were the good old days! On December 11, 1960, the auditorium-gymnasium and cafeteria, built as a separate wing of the new Saint James Grammer School, was dedicated. Ground was broked for the new addition on May 22, 1960, by the Most Reverend James J. Hogan, and the cornerstone laid in December of that same year by Right Reverened Monsignor Emmet A. Monahan. The first faculty of 8 Sisters of Mercy and 2 lay teachers has since grown to include 1 priest, 13 Sisters of Mercy, and 54 lay teachers. For Red Bank Catholic these fifty years have become a time of expansion, recognition, and adjustments: of dreams come true and realities gone stale. How can we forget the glowing defeats we gave Red Bank Regional; the candle and ad drives; the unavoidable Saturday detentions; and all the other well-deserved triumphs and unnecessary tragedies? For a Casey, the past has been terrific, the present worthwhile, the next time has to be a little better - after all, who knows, the best may be still to come. Whether the best is yet to come nobody is certain, but what’s happened here at R.B.C.H.S. over the last fifty years for the most part deserves praise, and we can only hope that the next fifty years are just as glorious.

PATERNO MARK WILLIAM PAVILUK JOHN ANTHONY PLAIN VALERIE KAYE PODELL KAREN MARIE POLICASTRO MARY ELIZABETH PRICE As a class, we have shared our ideas, our warmth, our hostilities, our talents, and ourselves. Just as we’ve been influenced by those of the R.B.C. community with whom we’ve spent such an important segment of our lives, so to have we left a distinguishing mark for those who will follow us. The spirit, enthusiasm, accom- plishments and participation of the class of ’77 will be hard to match. At this point in our lives, we are pensive about the future. Our feelings can be paralleled to those when we first entered R.B.C. As freshman four short years ago we felt at least a touch of nervousness and fear. Senior year, as we were forced to define our individ- uality in making decisions for the future some of those old feelings of uncertainty creep back up on us. As we are leaving, the resounding attitude is not good-bye but good luck- not “I can’t bear to leave” but rather “Thanks for the memories, now it’s time to move on.” The times spent here have been pretty great but not the ultimate. We are restless and look forward to meeting new people and making new friends. In the future we will strive for the goals which we have not yet attained. Our days at R.B.C. have impressed us all to some degree, either positively or negatively. It is now up to us to take what we’ve learned and apply it to the rest of our lives. Senior year is not as easy as you think. Just ask John Vitalo. 47 MARIPAT KATHERINE PYATOK DENISEMARIE QUARTIER PRESTON JAMES RICHARDSON RICHARD A.

(Photo courtesy of A. Marasco). On October 29,1976 just five days before the National Election stu- dents and faculty participated in a Mock Election sponsored by the Student Council. The election was conducted as a convention with each homeroom electing three delegates to represent their chosen state. As students entered the gymnasium, they were greeted by security men wearing dark glasses, delegates in Eatriotic costumes waving colorful anners, and reporters complete with earphones and microphones. The Candidates, their running mates and wives were then intro- duced and gave their impressive speeches to an enthusiastic audi- ence. As the chairwomen began the calling of the states, the excitement increased reaching its peak when the last states were called. The race was extremely close with Ford hold- ing a minor lead until the last states casted their votes for Carter, put- ting him ahead of Ford. The entire election proved to be a foreshadow- ing of the National Election. Jimmy Carter was declared the winner at R.B.C. as well as the Nation. Clockwise: The “Casey Press” cov- ered the election. The Democratic Candidates, Sheila DeCerce and Mi- chael Kroll as the Mondales, Patty Crahay and Chas O’Byrne as the Carters. Nebraska Delegate, Pam Koeser cast her states votes. Carter poster proclaimed him “Peanut Farmer”. Melba Tolliver, Denise Taylor, interviewed Bella Abzug, Trisha Mulvaney. Rita Hughes dressed to represent her state. The Republican candidates, Phil Burns and Rose Paraskevas as the Doles, John Toohey and Kathy Grady as the Fords. “The Winner” Jimmy Carter. Teachers and students were elected as delegates. Middle: Both Carter and Ford were big with the Caseys and as an indication of the National Election, Carter only won by a small margin.

Every morning before school began, there could be found, in that small room off the Broad Street Auditorium, twenty students from all class levels discussing, planning, and creating activities for the rest of the student body. These twenty comprised the 1976-77 Student Council. But every year has a new Student Council and every council plans activities. What made this year’s Council different from the rest? Back in June of last year, the Student Council began working and planning for the following year. Before any work was accomplished, however, the council established its main priority which was to serve as a governing factor for all the activities which they sponsored as a unit. EXECUTIVE BOARD: T. Jones, D. Harmon, M. Gordan, J. Malley, C. O'Byrne. 62 STIPENT CIVNCIL OFFICERS-Sitting: J. Blatz. Standing: F. Flaherty, P. Clabby, J. Malley. Student Council President John Malley conducts an as- sembly. Student Council Moderator Mrs. Meredith Pennotti. This priority was to pursue the much talked about goal of creating school unity and eliminating the distinctive barriers between class levels. This year’s Student Council actually met this goal by first establishing unity among themselves as a unit of student leaders. They then carried this spirit over to the rest of the student body through various activities which incorporated the entire school as a whole, rather than as distinctive class levels. Some prime examples of such activities would be the Freshmen Barbeque in which the Freshmen class was welcomed by members of all class levels and encouraged to feel a part of the Red Bank Catholic community; the Mock Election in which students from every level participated on an equal basis; the Homecoming Dance, which was open to all students, free of charge; and the Thanksgiving Basket Drive for the benefit of needy families. The success of the activities of the Student Council this year can be attributed to its great dedication, organization, and unity. 63 N.H.S.-FrontRow: M. Walsh, W. Sulkhart, C. Hickman, M.

For over fifty years the National Hon- or Society has worked to bring the achievements of outstanding students to the attention of their classmates, par- ents, communities and colleges. Each year a select group of students is bes- towed the honor of membership into the Society. The purpose of the National Honor Society is fotnrfbW: to- create an enthusi- asm for scholarship,t-tf Stimulate the de- sire to repd to promote leader- ship, and j o develop character. Member- ship is both an honor and 4 responsibil- ity. 'C The officers elected jjiis year were: Anne Hurley; Pres Kathy Grady, Vice- Pres.; Debbie Donnelly, Sec.; Rose Mar- sico, Treas.; and Trisha Flaherty, Jr. Class Rep. The officers along with en- rolled members met with moderator, Mrs. Mary Walton over the summer to outline their plans for the school year. They sponsored a college visitation trip to the Philadelphia area, offered tutor- ing, helped assemble the school hand- book and even painted the downstair’s mural. OFFICERS: P.

The Committee Concerned with Student Involvement in the Academic and Administrative Departments of Red Bank Catholic is commonly known as the C.C.S.I. Initiated 5 years ago, the committee worked to gain a closer communication and better understanding between the faculty and student body. Under the leadership of advisor, Mrs. Carolyn Bliss, and co-chairpersons Vicki Gedrys and Kathy Rubin, the fifty member committee was selected to represent their fellow classmates. Frequent meetings with department heads enabled the members to promote student involvement by evaluating the curriculum and suggesting programs for the revision of course schedules. This year’s book sale, Parent’s Night, and Career Day, along with the Homecoming, and College Night were just a few of the C.C.S.I.’s combined efforts with the Student Council. CCSI - Front Row: J.

The Committee Concerned with Student Involvement. 65 In keeping with R.B.C.’s tradition, the ’76-’77 Emerald continued to develope with the style of the times. This year’s edition incorporated exciting layout ideas, to include more pictures, more art work, and a new approach to copy writing which a yearbook should cover. A new sixteen page introduction of color pictures along with the senior almanac and underclassmen quotes helped create the new Emerald style. There were countless hours put forth by the editors, their staffs, and of course, Mrs. Callahan, their moderator, to create new and effective ideas. Their aim was simple - to express the ’76-’77 year at R.B.C. For a yearbook is nothing more than the expression of the years occurences coupled with an interesting format of style. Editors listen to Donna’s idea for artwork. Kathy, Rose, and Annette look over new layout ideas. Beth and Donna check in yearbook orders. SECTION EDITORS-Sitting: T. Mulvaney, Seniors; A.

Started just last year by Mike Baiano with the help of Joe Batista, the club had two main purposes. The first was to help its members to obtain any desired grade of amateur radio operators license, through the teaching of the International Morse Code and the required electronic theory. The second was to allow its licensed members to operate the equipment and conduct amateur radio communications using the club’s station. The club’s station was located in the balcony of the Broad Street auditorium, and has communicated with over 28 states. The club, which was in the process of obtaining newer and better equipment, hoped to soon be talking in the rest of the world. This club was affiliated with the National Association of Radio Amateurs, The American Radio Relay League, and was fully licensed under the FCC. The German Club was a mixture of students united by common interests, striving for a better understanding of the German people and their culture. In the past they saw the movie “The Hindenburg” and celebrated the Oktoberfest with dancing, dining and singing at Bachert’s Hofbrauhaus in Atlantic Highlands. Trips have also been made to the United Nations and the Cliosters. The club was asked by the N. J. State Convention Committee of Students and Teachers of German to lead a workshop on April 4, 1977 at Montclair State College. At any given meeting held twice monthly, you would find, under the devoted supervision of Mrs. Lenz, a relaxed atmosphere with students participating in German games including Lotto, a form of bingo; Muhler, a combination of chess and checkers; and Quartett, a card game. The Audio Visual Organization was a unique service club. The club was in charge of maintenance, distribution and repair of the school’s audio-visual equipment. The club moderator, Mr. Price, refined the organizational management of the club. The members were responsible for the video-taping of all faucets of school life from entertainment at buffets to sports competition. 69 v 1 1 The Red-Headed Club, moderated by Mr. Elwood Malick, began the year by organizing a Gong Show Assembly. Mr. Christopher Merli was the “Hostess” with Mr. Malick and Chris Kinslow as Emcees. Faculty members and students performed, dreading the inevidable “gong” from panelists Mr. Robert Cioffi, Jean Ruddy, Jim Lake, and Carol Ann Schellenberger. After memorable performances by Michael Coleman who forgot his song, and the “Andrew Sisters” who never got a chance to sing and just walked away with their apples, the winners were chosen. Mr. John Soviero as Tom Slick, won first place slightly beating Joanne Domorski, who broke eggs over her head. The club conducted a World series Contest to pick the winners of the Reds-Yankees Series. Gene Brown, a sophomore, won by predicting the Reds on a four game sweep. Their Christmas party had all red refreshments, even red brownies, and the students presented Mrs. Meredith Pennotti with a surprise gift-a red apple cookie jar. The members also devoted many long hours organizing their successful Strawberry Festival Dance which took place in the spring. FORENSICS - First Row: S. Trimboli, J. Tarricone, A. Vanderhoff, M.

The Health Careers Club moderated by Mrs. Russo was established to encourage anyone having an interest in the medical or health fields. The club invited several guest speakers throughout the year. Among them was Mrs. V. Stahl who encouraged the girls to volunteer in homes for the elderly. The Health Careers Club has been known since 1975 for its fantastic trips to New York. The trips combine education with pleasure. The Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in New York provided many members with the educational aspects of the numerous health related careers. The Surfing-Sailing Club, a group new at RBC this past year, provided its members with exciting as well as educational views on surfing. Although no actual surfing took place due to insurance problems, the club held many activities under the supervision of Mr. Louis De Simone. SURFING-SAILING CLUB - Sitting: J. Dolan, C. Manley, T.

The articles were both informative and enjoyable, covering all aspects of school life from the activities of clubs and Student Council, to expert coverage of sports. Topics of the first issue were the back-rounds of new faculty members and exchange students, RBC’s fifteenth anniversary plans and national news. The final issue devoted to Seniors, was filled with Last Wills and Testaments, Remember Whens, Senior Polls and Athletes, and a Graduation Message. The professionalism was successfully achieved by the editors Chas O’Byrne and Phil Burns, the moderator Sr. Regina Smith and a diligent staff.

In the eyes of the spectators, the Red Bank Catholic Band and Marcing Units combined efforts have proven that all around the Caseys are State Champs. The Band under the direction of Fr. John Zee and the Marcing Unit moderated under the watchful eye of Miss Lynn Campbell, practiced many long hours to perfect their show. Once they came “Across the Field” and began performing intricate formations to such songs as THE ENTERTAINER, MAME and CABARET, their long hours proved to be worthwhile. On the sidelines the band psyched both spectators and players with all the favorites - MINNESOTA ROUSER, ON WISCONSIN, NOTRE DAME and of course WE’VE GOT THE WHOLE SCHOOL ON OUR SIDE. As usual the Thanksgiving Day Show was spectacular. Fr. Zee and Brian Fitzgerald worked out many sensational formations coorindated with the songs. The units entered forming a star as the band played HAIL TO THE CHIEF. Other songs included GET IT ON and CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU. The band and marching unit performed in various parades. Some of them were in Red Bank, Asbury Park and the New York Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. At their annual concerts, the band once again proved that quality rather than quantity is the style of the Red Bank Catholic Band. 74 Cross section of the band COLOR GUARD - M.E. Desmond, P.

HOMECOMING The bleachers were filled and past, present and future Caseys began to line up five deep around the football field to watch the Thanksgiving- Homecoming Game against Rumson-Fair Haven Regional. The day was clear and cold but the warm sun was promising. To conclude the Red Bank Catholic Pre-Game Show, Theresa Graesch the 1976-77 Homecoming Queen was escorted on the field along with runners-up Denise O’Malley and Laurie Moore. The girls’ escorts were Peter Clabby, Joe Roduguez and Tom Seaman. John Malley, Student Council President, presented Theresa with a crown of flowers as the band played “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.” An exciting game ended as a loss for the Caseys but spirits were high as students from all levels gathered together for the annual Homecoming Dance - “For Everything There is a Season.” 79 The production of Scrooge, written for the Chorus Class and directed by Mr. Robert Cioffi, was adapted from Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” with music and lyrics by British Composer Leslie Bricusse. An authentic Victorian set designed by Donna Scarpellino and Beth Kruger covered the entire Broad Street Auditorium wall. The production was dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Pennotti. Chas O’Byrne gave a convincing portrayal of Scrooge - making the transition from mean to reformed and loveable. It was hard to believe that he was a high school student and not a professional actor. Michael Coleman and Tricia Mulvaney were touching as young Scrooge and Isabel, his only love. Michael stopped the show with his interpretation of “Love has the Longest Memory.” Paul Plain and James Lizotte were heart warming as Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. With John Toohey powerful as Jacob Marley; Chris Kinslow a natural as Tom Jenkins; and the cast’s dedication, it was only natural that the play would receive the standing ovation of sold out crowds.

V ' aT- TEACHER CADET The Teacher Cadet Program at Red Bank Catholic offers an explorative in-service experience to students preparing to be future teachers. Selected students were instructed to assist in actual classroom situations. The cadet strives to “develop an understanding of the function and operation of a well- planned school system, and acquires the technique of evaluating student’s growth and individual teaching ability.” The numerous students involved in the Teacher Cadet program work in the areas of Science, English, Physical Education, Language, Photography, and Administration. Co- ordinator Sr. Mary Vincent devotes many long hours to the instruction and progress of the cadets through seminars and personal evaluations. The Teacher Cadets have a strong sense of dedication to others which is evident in their willingness to devote long hours to preparation.

Red Bank Catholic was one of four high schools in the immediate area to present Oliver. The most unusual feature was the magnificance of the actual production of the Broadway set. Oliver is set in nineteenth-century London with its backdrop of slums, back alleys, dens of crime, and teaming underworld where innumerable orphans wandered, homeless and hungry, becoming exploited victims of unscrupulous men. The play presents a fantastic collection of rogues including a villianous Fagan and his gang of adolescent thieves. Freshman David Crowton stole the hearts of the audience with his interpretation of “Where is Love” and made a remarkable debut as Oliver, the orphan destined to a childhood of poverty, neglect, and crime. Michael Kroll was both villainous and loveable as Fagan. Tricia Mulvaney further demonstrated her wide dramatic range and versatile musical ability as Nancy, beautifully singing “As Long as He Needs Me”. The Artful Dodger was portrayed by Chris Kinslow who contributed another show-stopping performance with his rendition of “Consider Yourself’. Chas O’Byrne and Cindy Vranken provided the comic highlights of the evening as Mr. Bumble, the pompous poorhouse official, and the manipulative widow Corney. As the undertakers Mr. and Mrs. Sourberry, Michael Coleman and Lou Travis were grotesque yet hilarious. John Toohey made a completely convincing villian out of Bill Sykes, whose death scene left the audience gasping. The fine performances by the major characters were further enhanced by the singing and dancing cast, all contributing to the lively authentic mood of the play. The efforts and long hours of Director Mr. Robert Cioffi, Production coordinators Sr. Mary Francesca and Miss Mary Carmody, Correographer Mrs. Melina Melone, and Musical Director Fr.

IMPRESSIONS Red Bank Catholic, a community within itself, strives for excellence not only in academics and sports but also in student involvement. Outlets for involvement were provided by dramatics, dances, publications, teacher cadets, intramural sports, and various clubs from the Red-Headed Club to the Health Careers Club. The careful planning of assemblies proved to be successful through the pep rallies, mock election, gong show, and sports assemblies. Field trips to New York City combined academics and enjoyment of the arts. The successful Junior and Senior Buffets, Chinese Auction, and the Sophomore Sock Hop proved that there was something special about the Caseys........ 93 94 95 iMIIT «IILIT JVMtKS 96 97 ■ Mrs. Carretta looks over the long absentee list.

They had finally reached their two year goal of becoming upperclassmen. The spirit and enthusiasm they exhibited in all school activities has left a deep impression . . . In preparation for the first football game against crosstown rival, Red Bank High, the Junior’ hallways shouted encouragement with their many spirited posters and banners. As the football season progressed, the “Jolly Juniors” could be heard screaming above the crowd, as the Caseys went on to victory. Under the supervision of class officers, Dave Harmon, Rody Angers, and Carol O’Connor, directed by moderator Mrs. Ford, the juniors were ready to meet any challenges. The first came in early November with the Junior Buffet. For weeks the class planned, prepared, and practiced in anticipation for the big night. November 10, finally arrived and teachers, students, families and curious underclassmen found the cafeteria, “the place to be”, as the juniors presented their “Salute to Broadway”. The evening proved to be a major success financially, helping the Junior treasury considerably. Jo Ann Nogueira at the bakery. Looking through the doors of a Driver’s Education class.

Reynolds, M. deRouen The ring ceremony came in early December, and as Fr. Valentino slipped the ring on each finger, every junior was officially declared an upperclassman. At the reception following the ceremony, each student found himself waiting in anticipation for that special sev- enty-eighth turn. Along with the new found freedom and privileges came a new sense of responsibility for the juniors. They were bogged down with numerous tests and assignments. Many took the risks of a third year language, chemistry and Algebra II. As SAT’s were tackled for the first time, college catalogues became more and more familiar to the Juniors. One test juniors didn’t mind was their driver’s test. As each seventeenth birthday rolled around, the number of cars on N.J.’s highways increased. Juniors found a sense of freedom as they no longer had to beg parents or friends for a ride. That long awaited license seemed to have a major impact on the class of ’78. In May, the Junior Prom, held at Jumping Brook Country Club finally arrived, and everyone was psyched for that big night. All of the Juniors were decked out for the evening. Back: E. Dalm, J.

Together as a class they have proven this to us in many ways. At football games, the silly sophomores were heard among the crowd cheering for their Casey team. The exhuberant spirit exhibited by the sophomores aided the Caseys to victory after victory. The class level officers for this year were President Missy Gordon, Vice President Mau- reen Manning, and Activities Chairperson Carol Callahan. These three and many others worked with their class level moderator Mr. Luciani to plan activities for their class and the student body. A major feat conquered by the class of ’79 was their Sopho- more Sock Hop. A success featuring Mr. Soviero in his 50’s get up, while 50’s look-alikes looked on. Another accomplishment made by the sophomores was their successful candy drive. Along with the freshman class, they met thier goal with enthusiasm and school spirit. These underclassmen will always be remem- bered for their pep, vivacity and challenge to the future classes to follow.

In September a great many of our freshman attended the “Welcoming” dance given by our student council. On September 8 and 9, the freshman were orientated into the school. Afterwards they were served refreshments by the student council. This class showed their enthusiasm and confidence in R.B.C. by nominating homeroom officers and student council officers late in September. The freshman officers were President Tom Jones, Vice President Liz Faherty, and Activities Chairman Harry Flaherty. Under the guidance of Mr. Johnson this class undoubtedly had a successful year.

Along with our supporters, R.B.C. had been blessed with many new atheletes this year, and the coaches looked forward to many years of successful competition. During the end of November, the frosh came out and supported the candy drive reaching their quota of $8000. They celebrated their last day of school before Christmas vacation with a party in the cafeteria. This activity has been traditional here for years. They exchanged good-byes in a relaxed atmosphere only to meet again at the Casey Festival. All in all, the class of ’80 showed great enthusiasm, and we hope that their following years here will show great promise. Mr. Hintelman reviews with his students. Sitting: A. Fiore, C. Flaherty, D.

Goal line offense takes coverage on the Bucs. “Dear Team, One thing we’ve learned this year is that it isn’t enough to be just a team, this year we’re a family. The victories were sweeter, the defeats lessened by sharing. When you walk on as one and reflect back to the games you’ve played and play for the best!!! Thanks for the season, Love the cheerleaders.” One of the things that Coach Montanaro admired most about his players was that, on or off the field, the team displayed a great deal of character. Quarterback, Mike Mahon hands off to fullback Mike Madsen during Red Bank game. The 1976 Casey Football Team ended its super season on December 4, winnin the South Jersey Parochial “A” Championship. The Caseys qualified foi the finals by defeating St. John Vianne; a second time to the tune of 27-3. Throughout the season the 1976 RBC Football Team was known as a family. They showed this in the spirit with which they played. Whether through a win or a loss, the team hung together and kept their faith in one another. The success of the team rested heavily upon the shoulders of the superb coaching staff. Mr. Montanaro and his assistants, Mr. Farmer, Mr. Jones, Mr. Woodin, Mr. Franzen, Mr. Merli, and Mr. Tucker put in many hours throughout the season. It could all be summed up in one player’s thought. “We’ve got the best coaches in the state, they care more about us then we do ourselves.” “THE WILL TO EXCELL AND THE WILL TO WIN, THEY ENDURE. THEY ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY EVENTS THAT OCCASION THEM” 132 THE CASEY FAMILY Seniors- Back Row: B. Blaine, B. Feehan, B. Laveratt, J. Lake, C. Shellenbach, R. Kelly, N. Robinson, K. Folks, T.

The Powerful Casey attack was led by tailback, Lonnie Burgess, who gained close to 1,400 yards during the season. With him in the backfield were quarterback, Mike Mahon, fullback, Mike Madsen, and slotback, Ron Mangarelli. Much of the backfield’s success was attributed to the offensive line. Strong performances were turned out by centers, Tony Abbatemarco and Ned Robinson, guards, Frank Flaherty and Tim Guinnessy, tackles, Brian Blaine and Mike Servidio, and ends, Rich Kelly, Jim Lake, and John Plain. The Casey defense, rated second in the shore, was led by tackles, Chris Shellenbach, Brian Feehan, and Chip Hesse; nose guard Bill Berth; ends, Jeff Messer, Tim Rich, and Greg Wilcom. The defensive line was backed up by Bill Black and Jim Mayer. The stingy defensive backfield consisted of Jim Lake, Bob Bruno, Tim Skinner, Jeff Marino, Mark DeRouen, and Drew Devine. Much credit could be given to kicker, Mike Largey and his golden foot. The Casey season was highlighted by a spectacular win over Notre Dame of Trenton, by the score of 40-6, thus clinching the State Championship which last belonged to the Caseys in 1963. 134 FROSH RBC SCOREBOARD OPP 0 Red Bank 32 6 St. Johns 19 0 Shore Regional 20 6 Monmouth Reg. 14 6 St. Joes 0 7 Mater Dei 6 0 St. Peters 8 7 Rumson 20 Freshmen begin to warm up for another day of practice.

This was the first year Girls’ Cross Country was ever coached by a woman. Under the direction of Ms. Laurel MacKenzie, the team finished with a record of 11-0, remaining undefeated in dual meets. The team was led by captains Jane Blatz and Eileen Ryan, with outstanding performances from two freshmen, Tracey VanDyke and Nancy Fitzgerald. Continually throughout the season the team coordinated other activities to break up the monotony of running. There was the rainbow day practice, in which the girls dressed in their wildest and brightest clothes, and one Saturday morning the girls came in their p.j.’s to a pajama day practice. The freshmen painted the upstairs locker room, in the traditional green and gold colors, as a gift to the seniors. A Halloween party, beginning with a 7 mile scavenger hunt to Ms. MacKenzie’s house, and a team dinner party held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McGowan, helped to bring the team closer together. The teams final goal was to bring home another state championship. On November 20 the girls succeeded in doing just that. “We’re Number One” was all one could hear as the bus pulled into the school yard after the meet. The girls, however, had other important meets before the championship was theirs. The Memorial High School Invitational was a big success for them as they defeated their closest opponent, Brick, by 40 points. DeeDee Sebell feels disappointment after a tough race Top Row: J.

ST £ ft They won the state sectional race, making a comeback after experiencing their first loss ever, to Mater Dei. All this was accomplished even though the team suffered many injuries during the season, especially within the top 7 runners. During the course of the season, a local newspaper reporter stated that “the king was dead, never to be resurrected,” meaning RBC would not win the Championship title.

The Red Bank Catholic Boys’ Cross Country Team completed a very successful season, disproving the idea that the team was too young and inexperienced. This year’s captains, Chris Wilcox, Rob Reiser, and Steve Cadmus were inspirational leaders. Underclassmen stars who assured another promising season next year were, Joel Lizotte, Joe Keenan, Paul Moscatello, Tom LaBanca, Pete Brown, Tom O’Connell and sophomore, Chuck Quackenbush. In the Monmouth County Championship they finished a strong second, thirty points ahead of rival Raritan High. The dual meet highlight were the defeats of Millville High, the Cumberland County Champion, and Saddlebrook High, the Bergen County Champion by the Casey Harriers. The team finished fifth out of twenty-one teams in the state meet, defeating Essex Catholic and losing to St. Joseph’s of Metuchen by a mere three points.

Coupled with the ability and dedication of his girls, the team finished the season with a 5-3 record. Each day before practice began, Linda Anderson and Karen Stanley squeezed everyone into their cars to head for Monmouth Beach Club or Thompson Park, where the practices were held. Finding tennis balls was sometimes a problem, but always seemed to be resolved. After their hard and diligent practices, the team refreshed themselves with Krauzer’s delicious fruit punch. Peggy Coolahan and Noreen McNamara were the co- captains of;the team. Throughout the season, Karen Peggy and Noreen played singles respectively. The doubles support came from Linda Anderson, Margaret O’Byrne, Jill Tappen and Robin Sole. Next year this foursome along with Lucy Campanella will lead the team. Front Row: N. Edmonds, P.

I Gymnastics is a sport consisting of four events: vaulting, uneven bars, floor exercise, and the balance beam. On each piece of apparatus the girls must make up routines consisting of required skills and dance. These routines are performed before a group of judges and are scored on their difficulty, composition, and execution. Judged number ONE in the state for the third straight year is our own R. B. C. Girls Gymnastic Team. Yes, they did it again! Unbeaten in dual meet competition over a three year period, they faced their toughest competition at the Central Sectionals and the State Finals. Led by Ann Woods, the All Around State Champion for the second straight year, Missy Sweeton, fourth all around, Liz Mautner, who placed ninth and Kim Gray, a new addition to the team this year, they again captured the Championship.

Coached by Christian Cuadrado, a former French Soccer Pro and Mr. James Price, a resident Science teacher, the team went on to a successful 6-5-2 season. In its first outing, the team showed fine capabilities by defeating Rumson, 2-1. Other victories included Henry Hudson, St. Mary’s, Perth Amboy and St. Joe’s, Toms River. The high points of the season came when the team tied C.B.A. in a highly contested game. Much of the team’s success was attributed to fine performances by underclassmen Tim Crowe, Tom Kleissler, Frank Wise, Chris Greg Hueth and goalie, Matt Eschelbach. As the team will lose only two Seniors, goalie, Russ Wadbrook and forward, Jeff Gillis, R.B.C. hopes for success next fall. J.V. SOCCER TEAM: Back Row: Coach Gajano, C. Holburg, P. Minear, T.

The Red Bank Catholic varsity basketball team patiently waited through the season for the respectable rank of sixth in the shore conference. Posting victory after victory, the Caseys complied an impressive 19-3 seasonal record, which was the best in R.B.C. history. It was then that they received the recognition they truely deserved. The Caseys were soon ranked third in the shore, but more importantly ranked thirteenth in the state, proving they were a fine basketball team. Led by the team’s tri-captains, P. Clabby, J. Rodriguez, and T. Seamen, the Caseys combined a hustling, tenatious defense with an excellent offensive attack. T. Seamen, led the Caseys scoring punch with a 22.5 ppg average as well as 15 rebounds per game. Along with Seamen, B. Howes also controlled the boards at both ends of the court, averaging 12 points per game. P. Clabby, starting at the other forward position, was not known for his scoring threat, but did however draw tougher defensive assignments when going up against better ballclubs. At the guard position, J. Rodriguez and N. Boyle did an excellent job of commanding the Caseys. Coming in off the bench, junior B. Black and J. Mayer along with senior B. Allison, kept up the pace of the Caseys on the court also. The most satisfying victories of the year were collected against C.B.A. The Caseys won against C.B.A. both home and away. The last time the Caseys won against the Colts was in 1969, which made the victories that much sweeter. With a fine J.V. ballclub ready to step in and pick up the slack when the seniors graduate, next year’s basketball team promises to be just as exciting. CASEY HOLIDAY FESTIVAL CHAMPIONS H. Mahon, J.

One might ask just who these girls were and what they were doing there. These girls made up the 76-77’ Girl’s Varsity and J.V. Basketball Team. Under the fine coaching of Ms. Lynn Dooley, the team concluded the season, its longest season ever of 24 games, with a 17-7 record. Among its outstanding players were senior Joanne Domorski, averaging 15 points per game, and juniors Linda Anderson, captain, Peggy Egan, and Emily Fitzpatrick. Though the team was plaqued with numerous injuries, leading scorers Domorski and Egan didn’t let this stop them. The surprise win at Monmouth Regional proved that the Caseyettes weren’t going to let anything stop them. Peggy Egan broke all school records for girls when she scored 35 points against opponent Millville. The Caseyettes finished 4th in the Casey Holiday Tournament. Come September the team will be loosing its only two seniors, Domorski and Donna Hollaman. Returning stars Egan, Fitzpatrick, and Anderson, along with the rest of the team should have a season just as rewarding and record breaking as this one.

The 1977 Red Bank Catholic wrestling team concluded their most successful record breaking performance in the District 22 Tournament. Head Coach John Mautner saw nine of his grapplers earn places in the tournament with senior B. Kirgin and his sophomore brother Jim carrying off Championship honors at 129 and 101. Other Casey place winners were sophomore D. Sagurton 2nd at 108, junior M. Madsen 2nd at 148, senior M. Servidio 2nd in the heavyweight division, sophomore B. Herchakowski 3rd at 122, seniors B. Berth 3rd at 170, T. Guinnessey 3rd at 188 and K. Kleve 4th at 158. The 1977 District Tournament marked the first time ever that the RBC wrestling team accumulated over 100 team points. The Caseys totaled 103 points to finish second to tournament favorite Cedar Ridge. During the regular season the Red Bank Catholic wrestlers complied an 11- 6 dual meet record while competing against some of the strongest competition in the state. Outstanding records turned in for the season were: J. Copperthwaite 11-5, J. Kirgin 16-8- 1, D. Sagurton 12-4-2, B. Herchakowski 18-7, B. Kirgin 21-6, M. Madsen 10-2, K. Kleva 15-7, B. Berth 16-5-1, T. Guinnessey 9-7, M. Servidio 12- 6, and M. Eschelback 6-5-1. The loss of the seniors through graduation will place a great burden on the underclassmen to continue the excellence these athletes have achieved. Coach Mautner believes that the seeds of success planted by the seniors will bloom for years to come, and that all young Casey wrestlers will work hard to continue that success. w E-i 155 Mike Madsen uses a $ross body ride to control his opponent, Mark Melicia destroys Rumson at 135.

This year our athletic accomplishments have helped to strengthen that pride. We have even broached the shore conference from which as a parochial school, we were banned. Success comes from hard work, dedication, loyalty, and pride, not only from the participants, but also the spectators. Red Bank Catholic’s success this year has multiplied because of the undying and everlasting Casey spirit that each one of us has. ■ « 168 f, f ■ ? iI Jc aV 169 •v Father Frederick Valentino Director of Red Band Catholic Sister Percylee Hart R.S.M.

Mr. Paul Christopher Student Behavior Assistant Mr. John Cole Math-Music-Computer Coordinator When a student enters high school, a number of changes take place on all these levels. Certainly not the least of these changes involves the new group of people he must learn to interact with. The faculty is an integral part of high school life, and it is not often appreciated until the upper grades. The teachers that comprise a ‘facul- ty’ are all diverse, independent individuals, each possessing qualities which are unique- ly his own, yet, all work toward a common goal: To impart knowledge and help stu- dents realize their full potential. They watch as one class after another grows from somewhat frightened, unsure freshmen to mature, independent seniors. As the stu- dents change, so does the way they view their teachers. One of the first levels the students en- countered within the school was the Ad- ministration. Each freshmen quickly learned the name of Sister Percylee, the principal, and the name of Father Valen- tino, pastor of Saint James Parish . . . 177 Mrs. Gladis checks one minute timings for accuracy in Typing I.

Sister Alma and Sister Gertrude were also recognized for their work. After Administration, the next level most students became acutely aware of was the Discipline Department. Unfortunately, the introduction to Mr. Christopher was not usually a social call. Mrs. Byrnes listened patiently while freshmen vainly tried to ex- cuse their appearance, and Mrs. McAllister accepted early dismissals. After clearing the initial hurdles, the Frosh ventured on to homeroom. Freshmen homeroom teachers, such as Sister Mary Denise and Mr. Robert McCue, knew that not everyone can find the right home- room at the same time. Frosh don’t know it now, but in three years, these very students will have late sign-ins, and they will be ask- ing their homeroom teachers for recommen- dations to college. The freshmen religion class laid the foun- dations for later building, both in school and out. Red Bank Catholic had a fine staff in their religion department. Mr. John Soviero, who headed the department, co- ordinated the various religious activities for all levels. Father Wm. Schladebeck taught the seniors philosophy, and most of his stu- dents had a solid background. The English department was prepared to teach the Frosh everything they knew about nouns, verbs, spelling, etc . . .

Chairperson Mr. Robert McCue Math Until reaching senior year, not many people realized the level of pro- ficiency of their teachers, and they then respected them all the more for it. Another fascination of students was the Lab. With the picture of Franken- stein still fresh in their minds, they entered to perform harmless experi- ments under the careful supervision of Mrs. Callahan or Mrs. Golden. As the budding scientists became more adept, they graduated to Mr. Meany’s Chem- istry class. And then the real science students were separated as they at- tempted Physics with Mr. Price, or A.P. Biology with Sister Wendelin. What began as a simple experiment had grown under the watchful eye of the teacher to a complex theory. After a romp in the Gym with Mr. Mautner or Miss Harvey, it was back to the books with Math. Mr. Allen’s Algebra I class always provided a few surprises, second only to Mr. Lemig’s. Sister Andrew advanced the sopho- more class with Geometry, and many students returned to thank her after taking the first round of S.A.T.’s. Sis- ter Percylee somehow found time in her busy schedule to teach. R.B.C. offered a wide range of lan- guages, ranging from the ancient Latin to the often spoken Spanish. 187 Miss Carmody listens to a pertinent question from one of her English classes.

Mrs. Elizabeth Moss School Nurse Mrs. Carol Novak Secretary Sr. Mary Loretto taught the former, and Miss Habib, Miss Brown, and Miss Kamerman all taught the latter. In addition to coaching the football team, Mr. Farmer was the chairman of the language department. As freshman, many students went into their history class expecting the same boring format they found in grammar school. They were disap- pointed. Not only did most find their classes in- teresting, many continued on to end up in A.P. History. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Luciani combined their talents in a team approach, the result was an enjoyable class, both to teach and to partici- pate in. As the freshman became ‘upper class- men’, courses such as Psychology and Sociology opened up to them. 189 Miss Brown responds to her homeroom’s “Good Morning!” How anyone could think of a question like that is beyond Mr. Allen. Mrs. Marcella Oliva Business Mrs. Eileen O’Neill Secretary Mrs. Meridith Pennotti Science-IDEA Program Mr. James Price Mr. John Rafter Math-Science Social Studies-Athletic Director As they realized how com- plex everything in their world was, the students found under- standing themselves was the first step toward sorting out ev- erything else. Mr. Merli shed light on the way society func- tions, while Mr. Tucker and Mr. Giordano delved into the functions of the human mind. Not all in the community at R.B.C. continued in an aca- demic course of studies. Some preferred the business world. Mrs. Gladis and Mrs. Oliva both oversaw typing classes, while Mrs. Connell dictated to the steno class. They spent much time on correct form so that their students would not have to learn it more than once. 190 Mr. Christopher wonders if he should believe this story or not.

Often it was not until we were al- most ready to leave that we realized this, but what was important was that we did realize it. Whether we believed it or not, the experiences that we had in high school will affect us throughout our entire lives. As freshman, we approached our teachers with res- ervations, still unsure of what our position was. As we progressed through the ranks, we gradually gained a feeling of ease, but it was not culminated until senior year. It was then that we really knew that the teach- ers who had been guiding us were actually people, who had feelings and attitudes, just as we had them. Many times, the teachers who made you cower as a frosh were now good friends. The faculty was like the tide which left an impression upon the shore while quietly accomplishing its purpose.

They are truly what we make of them. If we put something of ourselves into school, we most definitely will receive something in return. During the 1976-77 school year we tried to express, in the best way that we could, all that took place and all that we made happen in a most unique way. What we accomplished this year did not begin with this year nor will it end here. In the end it was our hope that this book would represent something for all who took the time to page through, and find what we tried to say. It was truly our intention to leave you with a lasting impression. Were you impressed? Mary Buccafusco Karen Stanley
