Red Bank High School - Log Yearbook (Red Bank, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1930 volume:

The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Foreword YEAR books of past years have been records of the graduating classes. The pres- ent book, instead of following the old policy, endeavors to present a complete record of Red Bank High School during the school year 1929'1930. Careful planning was necessary to publish at a reasonable cost a book which would be appreciated by every subscriber. The staff feels that the abolishing of an advertising section is an improvement in the appearance of the book, besides making unnecessary the annoying of local mer- chants with advertisement solicitors. That the book is the product of careful work and co-operation is evident. To the staff for their wonderful efforts, to Mr. Louis Mendel for his excellent photography, to the E. A. Wright Company for their efficient printing, to the Canton Engraving and Electrotype Company for their engraving work, to the individual classes and organizations for the financing of their respective departments, and all others, whose work has made the Round Table a success, I want to express, in behalf of the Class of 1930, sincere thanks.

Ed Gus Rip 44 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 The History of the Class of 1930 IN September, 1926, the 9B and 9A Classes met in the Junior High School. These rather timid groups of Freshmen, gathered from the surrounding country, were organized as two classes. The 9B's chose for their President, Ralph Kendall, while the 9A,s selected Alberta Alperin. Cake sales, ever a popular method of making money, occupied a great deal of our time during the year. Class laws and a constitution were drawn up, and the class colors, green and gold, and the class motto, “Knowledge is power,” were chosen. The following year the 10B and 10A Classes united with Jack Strode as President, and Herbert McClees as Vice-president. A Washington Trip Committee was organ- ized to consider ways and means of filling our treasury for the Annual Senior Outing. The first project was the sale of hot dogs and ice cream. This proved a great success, as it received good support from the student body. Then came the Sophomore Dance, the second dance ever held by a Sophomore class. It proved a splendid financial and social success. In this year many of the members of the class went out for athletics and won varsity letters. In the several school activities, such as the R. T. S. J. S. enter- tainment, and the gym and music exhibition, the class did its part well. Thus our first year in the Senior High School was brought to a successful close. In September, 1928, the class chose for their officers for the Junior year, Herbert McClees as President, Bill Firth as Vice-president, and Ruth Straus as Secretary. The year began very promisingly with a canvassing of the town for Standard subscriptions This was followed by a benefit show at the Strand, which brought a goodly amount of gold to our coffers. Then came the Junior Dance, which proved to be a high spot of the year and was unusually well attended. The time had now come for us to choose our rings and pins; those that were finally selected are to be standard for some time. A banner of green and gold was made by Mrs. Lovett and seemed to meet with popular approval. Many expressions of admiration of the design have been heard throughout the school. Our Junior year ended with the Junior-Senior Reception. The arrange- ments were turned over to the Juniors, and under the capable chairmanship of Ena Walder, and with the full support of the class, this affair proved a brilliant success. At last the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty had reached the long-sought-for goal, their Senior year! With a profound sigh of relief and a new sense of responsi- bility we assumed our duties. For the class officers Herbert McClees was re-elected as President, Jack Strode was elected Vice-president, Marion Dietz as Secretary, and Ena Walder as Treasurer. The year began with a joint theatre benefit for the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, held at the Carlton Theatre. On the last Friday of the Christmas vacation the Senior Dance was held in the gymnasium. Due to the splendid work of all the committees under Marion Dietz’s chairmanship, the evening proved enjoyable for everyone. 45 The Round Table 1 9 30 After a pleasant vacation the class came back to face their mid-year’s as bravely as possible. With this great battle behind them, new activities have been started for our last term in high school. “The Boomerang” has been chosen for the Senior Play, with Kay Coulon and Bill Firth in the leading roles, and a fine supporting cast. Under Mrs. Brown’s skillful guidance and with such a cast, it will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most successful plays which has ever been held. Another theatre benefit is to be held at the Hunting, and then will come the Junior-Senior Reception, of which the Juniors are to have charge. The time is ap- proaching for our Washington Trip, and then the climax—Commencement—which will bring us, a bit regretfully, to the end of our four years of high school. The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Who’s Who “I don’t think he’s good looking ...” “She couldn’t say anything funny if she ...” “His clothes are all right, but ...” “Best all-around girl?

H. S. Seniors—1930 model—and the promenade is on! A girl, 135 pounds, • 4 feet 3 inches in height, and dressed in green appears. She informs us that she represents the average 1930 girl in R. B. H. S. Senior Class. She prefers to play basketball, and when it comes to watching sports she wants football. Her hair and eyes are brown, she plays the piano or uke, and is an athlete. History is her most difficult subject, while problems is the easiest. And now the representative of the stronger sex makes his appearance. He is 5 feet 8 2 inches, and weighs 175 pounds. In regards to sports and subjects his preferences are the same. Favorite color? With a disdainful look at the green dress of the girl, he cries, “Brown!” He seems to prefer playing the radio—although the harmonica is sort of nice! Taking the bunch as a whole—whew! The total weight of this ponderous class is 22,947j 2 pounds, which is several times the combined weights of Wolcott, Weintraub, McClees and Noonan, with Allen thrown in for the Yl- The height—going up! 947 feet l i inches, which we are told is almost 2 2 times the height of the Woolworth Building. And it’s all the fault of Harvey Thompson and Bill Firth! Republicans hold sway in the political domain with 89 members pledging allegiance to the G. O. P., while the Democrats claim 50 of us. Socialists, Bolshevists and “Half' and'Half1 are claimants of the remainder of the class. “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” is given as the title of the most popular semLclassical song, while “Little by Little” takes honors for the-popular music. If shoes came in size 840'Z, one foot of each member of the class would fit in one shoe of that size. And that’s that! 48 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Class Prophecy New York City, November 10, 1940. Delphine, darlin'— No—I haven’t gone to China on an assignment—but I’ve been awfully busy. How’s the interior decorating business? Won’t be able to get down next week-end, so am writing all the news I saved for you! I bumped into Georgie the other day in the Herald Tribune office, and he knew lots of news. You know, Georgie graduated from Lehigh as an engineer, but he’s such a natural whiz at journalism that he divides his time between his two arts—and makes good in both of ’em! From him I learned that Rip Lartaud is directing the Army band, Percy and A1 are a'dentisting in ol’ Red Bank, Phil Jianinne has an immense chain of $22.50 men’s clothes shops, and Joe Wildanger has a wonderful auto body building business. By the way—Georgie told me that Joe put the 9Cth patch in the left rear tire of the famous Studebaker Special the other day! I saw the opening of “The Big, Bad, Bold Woman,” with our own Kay Coulon in the lead. Mrs. Brown and Kay’s other teachers at the American Academy of Dra matic Art should certainly be proud of her! Frank Nary and Lenny Compton were with her as members of the cast, so you can see why I was so proud to say I came from Red Bank! Doug did all the art work for the production, and it was perfectly gorgeous. We went to the Penn Grill afterwards for the opening of their new revue, and I nearly died of joy when I saw Chet as master of ceremonies! He was great, and I had all eyes for him till he introduced in his own way “the only two perfect dancers in cap' tivity—Miss Marge Worthley and Mr. Leroy Brown”—and I believed him! I rushed over to Margie’s table after she had finished her number, and heard about lots of the old bunch. Inez, Milly Zager, the two Supps, Gerry Smith and Madeline McKnight have formed a Stenographic Agency, and are making heaps of money, friends and cus' tomers. Viv Layton and Grace Partrick have stuck together even after school days and are private secretaries to Jacoubs and Ewing, Contractors and Builders. I’ve been covering the JoneS'SmitlvJones triple murder trial, and I’ll let you in on a secret—the three of ’em are sure to be convicted! Why? ’Cause Hub is prosecuting attorney for the State! Besides being Alb American fullback for two years, he had plenty of time to study to become one of the most famous criminal lawyers in the couiv try! Dot Mazza is on the Tribune staff, and we’ve been having a friendly battle for “scoops.” 49 19 The Round Table 30 Had my hair waved at ‘ Peggy’s” salon last week, but Peg (who is Mrs. Benny Cook in private life) was so busy I only had time to say “hello” before she dashed out for another luncheon! This life as wife of the police commissioner of New York is no cinch! Sammy is Ben’s right hand man—and writes all those screamingly funny speeches Ben gives. Liz Wolf tries to keep Peg’s engagements straight besides being manager of the million salons—and credit to her—there’s never a hitch in either! Bill Firth is head surgeon at Presbyterian Hospital here, and Dotty Longstreet is dean of nurses. Liz Conover and Jacque King are head nurses at St. Luke’s, and A1 Muller is secretary to them. I just read two books chosen by the “Book oTthe-month” Club, and they bear the names of Bernice Soule and Kay Franz as authors. “Sou” just wrote a new play that opens this week, too. The night editor was tearing around last night like a wild man ’cause the report of the concert at Carnegie Hall was late. I grabbed it when it came in to rewrite it, and who should I read as the two artists but Viv Roseberry and Essie Rosin. The critic said Viv’s voice was beautiful, and Essie’s accompaniment was perfect, so I promptly sent Margaret Elliott, our staff artist, out for sketches of them both, and they haven’t changed one bit. Heard a lecture on “Brilliance” by Professor Samuel Druy at Columbia the other day. By the way, Martha Clapp is chem. prof at Barnard, and Ena Walder is dean of women at Skidmore. Always knew they’d make good. Jessie Frost, who graduated from Skidmore with Ena, is personnel director of Macy’s—and that’s a personality posh tion for a pewonality girl! Saw a headline on our sport page which read, “Coach Mulligan Plans an Extern sive Workout for the Gettysburg Team.” Curiosity consumed me and I investigated— sure enough Dutcher is head coach at his alma mater! Tough that they don’t play Northwestern—I’d like to see two teams coached by two R. B. H. S. backfield men clash! Northwestern men seem to agree that Ernie is the coach! Got a “thank you” card from “Mr. and Mrs. John Porter Strode.” Marion gave up her kindergarten teaching last month to learn how to walk to Lohengrin’s! Jack’s a very successful stock and bond man. In their spare time Jack and Med ref amateur basketball games. We’ve been getting some stuff in for National Education Week, and I discovered that Marian Mair was supervisor of physical education in New York City, and Esther Weinstein, Ruth Eastmond, Fannie Rosin, and Hilda Barnard are teaching here. Did you read about Elbridge Boardman building another boat for the Gold Cup Races next year? He won last year’s, you know, and the other two boats that placed were built in his plant. Nize, eh, what? 50 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Just tuned the radio on to hear Joe Dixon and his Dixie Fiddlers broadcast, and what an orchestra! Tim Noonan plays with him, too, and when they start—!! By the way, I saw Millie Scheidt the other day, and she told me that Bee Tilton and Alma Harrison were working with her at Du Pont's. Some public certified accountant was testifying at the trial the other day, and I thought I recognised him, looked up his name, and found out it was our own Johnny Rowe! He’s the same as ever and told me all about the Long BranclvRed Bank game he saw last week. Mrs. Rowe is an L. B. H. S. girl, you know, and there’s family rivalry —luckily the score was 13T3! Johnny said he saw Gordon Morrow and Fred Biel there. Gord is in the automobile business, and Fred is his helper—he needs one if he gets cars like Sko’s! Remember? Whew! That about exhausts my store of news, and, besides, you owe me a letter. Till next time, Yours as ever, Ruth. 51 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 SENIOR PLAY Standing: Leonard Compton, Joseph Wildanger, Douglas Berry, William Firth, Chester Arthur, Samuel Libovsky.

When he runs for gains that help, Just hear that old mob yelp— And advertise the fact—“He saved the day!” Of course, he’s good and game, He’s the boy who makes a name For the team and for the school he holds so dear. But just suppose we stop, Raise our voices to the top, And give the men who play the line a rousing cheer. They’re the men who make that hole When he goes through for a goal, And there’s a gap where solid beef stood just before. They’re the men who pull ’em in, And push that team to win, They’re the men who keep on piling up that score! So suppose we doff our hats, And tell ’em they’re the cats— That they’re good, and that they’re wonderful and fine. Let ’em know we get their work, Our duty we don’t shirk. Cheer! For the men that go down first—they’re in the line!

Crandall 57 The Round Table 1 9 History of the February Class of ’31 WHEN the February Class of ’31 returned to school in September, they were very glad to learn that it had been decreed that they were to have the honor and distinction of being the first class to graduate in February. Feeling the great responsibility that now was theirs, that of establishing traditions for February classes of the future, and realising that for fifty people this was indeed a mighty undertaking, they all pledged loyalty and active co-operation to the President, Bud Blaisdell, and his helpers, Bill Russell, Ruth Parker, and Margie Hackstaff. As an added source of revenue, the class accepted the agency of Schlass Manu- facturing Company for all sorts of felt novelties, and has been taking and filling orders, which it expects to continue next year. The class’ functions had to be held jointly with the June class, so a further lesson in co-operation had to be learned. Of course the rings were ordered, and the Hallowe’en Dance was then planned and carried out. This was a fancy dress affair, and many were the costumes. With an excellent orchestra, fortune telling, good refreshments, and a friendly group of guests, the members of the February Class of ’31 felt that they had been successful in provid- ing a good party. Then came the joint movie benefit. In this a fewness of numbers of the class was a handicap, but they had fairly good results. Rose Caruso won the award for selling the greatest number of tickets. The class has made a very good showing in athletics. To the football squad they contributed Russell, Blaisdell, Morris, Broderson, Bruno, and Carey; to basketball, £ Hackstaff, Thomas, Murdico, Burrowes, and Bruno to the swimming team, Broderson, Gill, Hurwitz, and Carey as Manager. In dramatics Clara Layton gave an excellent impersonation of an elderly lady in the Chapel program of the Dramatic Reading Class. At the beginning of the new semester the class elected the present staff of officers, which is giving its time and attention to a new responsibility—the Senior-Junior Reception, which the class determines to make an event which the Class of ’30 will long remember with great pleasure. The National Honorary Society is represented by the following members: Frank Blaisdell, Anna Cameron, Margaret Hackstaff, John Giblon, Robert Maida, and William Russell. 58 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 59 Rear Row, left to right: Fred Gill, Robert Maida, George Carey, Nelson Eyeles, Austin Morris, Reha Simon, Angelo Murdice, Tillie De Fiore, Dudley Sheaffer, Rose Caruso, Ruth Parker, Edna Mae Fazzone, John Giblon, Clara Layton, Mrs. Ada Crandall (Adviser), Alma Von Steeg, Jessie Thomas.

Patrick 60 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 History of the June Class of 1931 THE members of the Class of ’31 started their first term as Juniors by re-electing Edward Jacoubs President of the class. Mildred Goff was chosen Vice-president, and Yetta Belgrad, Treasurer. These officers, with the able assistance of Norman Sickels, Dorothy G. Thompson, Regina Curchin, Edith Head, Morris Straus, and Rocco Calandriello, have helped make the class activities a success. A Hallowe’en dance, which had to be given jointly with the 11A Class, opened the social season. To the stimulating rhythm of Johnnie Johnson’s music, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors alike, arrayed in fancy dress costume, danced until the twelve o’clock curfew sent them all home. The affair was voted a great success by all who attended. The very hearty co-operation of the llA’s made us glad that we had overcome our previous objections to the joint plan. As our tribute to the boys of R. B. H. S. football team, we presented them with banners, which now decorate the bus which carries them to and from games. At the benefit show given at the Carlton in the early part of December, the Juniors proved their ability as high-powered salesmen by selling more tickets than any other class. And then, just before Christmas, we ordered our rings. It was no strange sight around that time to see supposedly sane members of the Junior Class walking slowly through the corridors, their hands upheld, their eyes focused on a band of gold on one of their fingers. In academic achievements we can point to Shirley Riddle and Roberta Scott for their dramatic ability in “Grandma Pulls the String,” to Sarah Ylvisaker for her well- portrayed part in “Jonesy,” to E. Head, M. Goff, H. Kettle, M. Schanck, and R. Scott who have been elected to the National Honorary Society, and to R. Scott and Y. Belgrad who are members of Quill and Scroll, the national honorary society for high school journalists. All our achievements have not been social, dramatic and scholastic, for we have also contributed materially to the athletic successes of the year. Joe Rosati made right tackle on the varsity team and played more quarters than any other member of the team. His fine playing was recognized by his election to the All-State second team and to the All-Eastern team. Pete Marascio finished his second successful year on varsity. These fellows made success possible by their constant attendance and co-operation at all games and practices: Higgins, Schwenker, Jacoubs, Schunk. To basketball we have contributed Pete Marascio, Assistant Manager; Joe Rosati, Peter Olsen, William Morse, Lucy Rice, and Edith Head. Hann Brown represents us on the swimming team. We are planning the Junior-Senior Reception as a grand finale to a successful year. 61 1 9 The Round Table 3 0 62 The Round Table i 1 9 3 0 History of the February Class of 1932 THE Class of February, 1932, was organized in the ninth grade with Mrs. Brown as adviser. The officers elected were: William Lawrence, President; Margaret Tuller, Vice-president; Jean Curchin, Secretary; John Scheidt, Treasurer. During the year, being unable to earn money in school activities, the class had several profitable cake sales. In June, as the graduating class from Junior High, the 10B and 9A Classes pre- sented an original play written by Mrs. Brown called, “The Freshman Follies.” Those elected as Sophomore officers were: Harry Gage, President; Margaret Tuller, Vice-president; John Scheidt, Treasurer; Winifred Kelley, Secretary. Trans- ferred from the Junior Building to the Senior Building, the class had a new adviser, Miss Robinson. The 1 IB Class took part in the selling of the tickets for the Benefit Show held at the Carlton Theatre. They have also gone to the pool in Asbury Park and have enjoyed swims immensely. On Friday, January 24, 1930, they had the first of their annual dances. As an entertainment, Peggy Hayes, Evelyn Wykoff and Mary Ann Seiling danced, accom- panied by the pianist of the orchestra. Altogether the dance was a great success. Of the participants in the school’s activities, the llB’s point with pride to their President, Harry Gage, who is a human fish when it comes to swimming, and not bad at all in football. Both the 1 IB girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were quite successful, although not the champions. In soccer the girls tied the Seniors in two games, defeated the Fresh- men, and were defeated by the Juniors, while the boys were showing their valor in class football. The boys also showed their school spirit by selling candy at the football games. 63 64 Standing: Lorraine Repphard, Grace Hill, Thelma Reynolds, Helen Smith, Margaret Tuller, Mary Gaston, Vivian Bronson, Miss Robinson, Jean Curchin, Margaret Ebie, Alice Ross, Corinne Welsh, Helen Curley, Elizabeth Gettis, Winifred Kelley, Barbara Goode.

With Miss Seeley and Mrs. Manning as advisers, the class elected Howard Gage, President; Phylis MacKay, Vice-president; Louise Croft, Secretary, and Philip Holst, Treasurer. The year went along rather unevent- fully until June; then came graduation, and a musical play was given, which through the help of Mrs. Brown was a great success. After this play the class had a beach party at Avanel, which was also a gala occasion. After the beach party the class went to spend a pleasant summer vacation. In 1930 the class reorganized. The officers elected were: Howard Gage, Presi- dent; Alfred Picone, Vice-president; Peggy Hayes, Secretary, and Marjorie Grooms, Treasurer. The class advisers for this year were Miss Hodgdon and Mr. Fitts. This year was an active one for the class. The membership of the class increased from 96 members to 120. The benefit show at the Carlton resulted in a goodly profit. The motto of the class is, “Not Luck, But Pluck.” The colors are green and white. The symbol is a three-leaf clover held up by a haughty bulldog who is mighty proud of being mascot to the Sophomore Class. On January 24 the class gave their first dance. The advisers helped make this one of the finest dances ever given at the school. Again in March the class joined with the Juniors and Seniors to give a second benefit show. 1 65 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 -s ' g .cd W CO 3 - Oh ( T ■sj re - U nJDj cd o c •.j: o -h-I ni cO 1 ; t£ H ™ “ c s Ic-a S CO CJ 2 — Oh q a co CQ Ob! o5 P r c 3 .5 E ?

The marvelous team work, the lack of individual starring, and the wonderful brand of football displayed attracted the attention of fans everywhere in the State. Of nine contests played, vie tories were scored over Trenton, South Orange, Westfield, Long Branch, Freehold, South River, and Leonardo; a thrilling game was lost to Plainfield by one point, and in a mid'season slump the Red and Gray was upset by Princeton. Meeting Trenton High School, a new contestant to Red Bank athletes, in the first game, the Red Bank machine crushed the Capitol City team 14'0. The game was closely played, scores being made in the second and third quarters. Red Bank trampled over South Orange the following week on the Underhill Athletic Field, although the 7'6 score indicated a close game. Both teams scored in the first quarter, and stubbornly fought out the balance of the game, Red Bank darling the Columbians with a brilliant laterahpassing offense. On October 12th, a day long awaited by Red Bank High School fans, the new athletic field was dedicated. The football team properly christened the field by trounc' ing Westfield, 34'6. 67 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Red Bank met their first defeat at the hands of Plainfield, another new contestant in Red Bank athletics, with a close score of 6'7. Leading authorities and football officials who witnessed the game termed it one of the greatest schoolboy battles ever played. Long Branch was the next victim of the Red and Gray onslaught, the shore boys going down to defeat 13'0. What should have been an easy victory was turned into a hard'fought battle. This was the beginning of the disastrous mid'season slump. The climax of the slump was reached the following week, when the Princeton eleven upset the Red Bank team 07. Princeton has been a jinx to Red Bank in their several years of athletic relations, only one athletic contest, a basketball game, being won from them. The Red Bank team came back the following week, regaining their former stride by trouncing the Freehold High School eleven, 34'6. Freehold, a favorite to win over Red Bank and a leading candidate for the Central Jersey Class B title, was disastrously surprised by the terrific offense which the Red Bank eleven, eager to offset the Princeton defeat, presented. An easy victory was gained over an outclassed South River team, 28'6. The loser, however, put up a stubborn fight, holding the Red Bank team to a one point lead during the first half. The powerful machine fittingly closed the season on Thanksgiving Day by over- whelming Red Bank’s traditional rival, Leonardo, 58-0. Such an array of football offensives and team work had never before been seen as displayed in this, the greatest victory ever earned over the Middletown school. The following is a short resume of the season: Red Bank 14 Trenton 0 Red Bank 7 South Orange 6 Red Bank 34 Westfield 6 Red Bank 6 Plainfield 7 Red Bank 13 Long Branch 0 Red Bank 0 Princeton 7 Red Bank 28 South River 6 Red Bank 34 Freehold 6 Red Bank 58 Leonardo 0 194 38 68 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Js3 QjO-O %-B K — 'W , 5 2 i- jz 8 DU uJD oJ O u o g o£ o3 CD XX w .2 u £ o rt -. « W J3 c O 0-0 y is in o3 ‘3 45 o3 Z2 Ts o § £ W o -G CD X cQ «- w c3 Is Js £ ° H .y -0 c3 ”0 c g §1 co f—i 3 — G t JZ G £‘5b 3 g .w) ; g 6 wT £ -c £ 6 (U uh 3 U rl rt U s| 'cj O.

Few enemy backs succeeded in passing through his territory; incidentally, he successfully coni' pleted a number of forward passes. Bruno was playing his first varsity football, too! BENJAMIN COOK turned in a creditable performance at end, until his football days were unfortunately ended when he received a neck injury, early in the season. Ben’s familiar figure was seen last year on the Class B Championship Team. HERBERT EWING, as Captain of the team, played a fine game at guard. Herbie, also of the championship team, was one of the most efficient guards for R. B. H. S. in some time, always putting his last bit of strength into the fight. ERNEST HARTMAN did wonderful work at quarterback, his fine headwork often enabling the Red and Gray to come out on top. Ernie received a varsity letter in 1927, but failed to make the varsity in 1928. His efficient kicking was a great factor in the team’s successes. JOHN HIGGINS was another first'year varsity man who played a successful season Johnny, playing at end, played a quite consistent although not spectacular game. John’s ability to complete forward passes will certainly be a decided asset to next year’s team. SAMUEL LIBOVSKY earned his first varsity letter by his fine work at substitute' quarterback. Although a trifle small, Sammy proved that good football players don’t have to be giants. PIETRO MARASCIO again proved his worth at guard. Pete’s fine defensive work has been evident since his first playing on the 1928 championship team. The 1930 team will certainly have a strong man to defend the center of the line! 70 The Round Table 1 9 30 HERBERT McCLEES was a strong feature in the success of the team. Playing his third year as varsity fullback, Hub blasted holes in the enemy lines many times. A fitting reward for his creditable work was his being chosen on the second Alb State Football Team, and the AlbEast Jersey Team. EDWARD MULLIGAN displayed the true character of the ‘‘Fighting Irish” in his fine work at halfback. Dutcher liked best to romp around the opposing ends for long gains. He, too, was playing his first varsity football. TIMOTHY NOONAN was a very efficient substitute guard. In the “pinches” Tim’s ability was a good advantage. JOSEPH ROSATI played an exceptionally fine and consistent game at tackle. Joe, another firsLyear man, was perhaps the most consistent player on the team. He was placed with McClees on the second AIL State Football Team. CARL SCHWENKER was another of the firsLyear varsity men to make the team. Carl, at first playing on the line, was later transferred to the backfield, when his ability was discovered. His powerful running ability and his exceptional punting should aid next year's team. JACK STRODE played a wonderful game at right halfback. One of the fastest men ever seen in R. B. H. S., Strode’s shiftiness enabled him to gain many needed yards for the team. Although Jack has been prominent in basketball and baseball, this was his first major football letter. GEORGE WOLCOTT played hi second year as varsity center. Although Tiny failed to repeat his success of last year, when he rose to AlLState center, his offensive and defensive playing was an advantage to the team. He only missed about three' periods of all the games the team played during his two years of varsity ball. GUSTY ZUCCO was a very efficient tackle. Misfortune overtook Gusty early in the season, when he injured his wrist, but he made a fine comeTack later in the sea' son. Gusty was also playing his first varsity football. 7] The Round Table 1 9 3 0 BOYS’ BASKETBALL Standing, left to right: George Wolcott (Manager), Martin Becker, Elbridge Boardman, Robert Ticehurst, Charles Ackley, Fred Biel, William Morse, Joseph Rosati, Meyer Wigdorwitz, Pietro Marasico (Assistant Manager), Mr. George Lovett (Coach).

Boys’ Basketball THIS year’s basketball squad was developed into an aggressive team by Coach Lovett, despite the fact that only two letter men were left from last year’s varsity. Remembering this, the team’s showing for the season is quite commendable. A brief resume of the season follows: R. B. 12, Alumni 30; R. B. 22, Freehold 14; R. B. 18, South River 17; R.

It seemed very fitting for the Senior girls to win this year. 74 The Round Table 1 9 30 SWIMMING TEAM Standing: Harry Gage, Jack Chambers, Owen Eames, George Carey (Manager), Jack Kennedy, Jack Davey, Hann Brown. Seated: Alfred Picone, Fred Gill, Herbert Ewing, Edwin Broderson, Leonard Compton, Bernard Hurwitz;.

An extensive schedule was agreed upon and the team numbered among its opponents: Asbury Park, Barringer, Rutgers Prep, Plainfield, East Side Newark, Trenton, and Stuyvesant High. To date the meets held resulted as follows: Asbury Park 29 Red Bank 33 Stuyvesant 49 Red Bank Asbury Park 36 Red Bank 24 Barringer 34 Red Bank .• 32 Members of the team who participated in a majority of the meets were: Captain Edwin Broderson, Manager George Carey, Jack Chambers, Herbert Ewing, Leonard Compton, Harry Gage, Ernest Hartman, Benjamin Hurwitz, Alfred Piccone, Jack Davey, Owen Eames, Leroy Brown, and William Morse. 75 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Red Bank Athletic Field RED BANK Athletic Field was finally made possible by close co-operation between , the students and the Board of Education. Ever since R. B. H. S. has had athletic teams, abundance of vacant lots and unused fields has provided ample room on which to practice and play. With the increased building activity during the last few years, however, such vacant lots and unused fields were becoming scarce, and we began to realize that some provision should be made for a permanent field. Finally, the need became so pressing that an appeal was made to the Board of Education by the students. The Board stated that a field was possible if enough voters approved the project. The students, encouraged by this prospect, went to work imme- diately, and undertook a house-to-house canvass. Anxious moments followed, but the effort was finally rewarded on June 14, 1927, when a communication was received from the Lions Club, the Red Bank High School Alumni Association, along with 1,209 peti- tioners, urging the Board of Education to call a special election for the purpose of pur- chasing a suitable plot of ground of sufficient size to be used for athletic activities. Accordingly, a committee was appointed, and after much discussion several sites were considered as possible fields, including the most favorable site of the present field. It was not until October 4, 1927, however, that a resolution calling a legal meeting of the voters of the school district on October 24, 1927, was passed. The amount thought necessary to develop this tract into a suitable field was $45,600. The students looked at this sum, and then at the prospect of its meeting the approval of the taxpayers. Despite all this worry, it was approved by a vote of 538 to 62. The property at West Bergen Place consists of 6.632 acres, purchased for $28,- 000.50, with $10,000 additional put aside for grading, topsoil and other improvements to the land, leaving a balance of $7,600 to be used for the construction of a running track, fencing, equipment, seeding and engineers’ services. The purchase was financed by issuing four notes to the amount of $11,400 each, payable in one, two, three, and four years from the date thereof, and bearing interest at five per cent per annum. In July, 1930, the last note will mature, and Red Bank will have one of the finest athletic fields in the State, including a well-constructed quarter-mile running track, a baseball diamond, and a total seating capacity of 2,360 persons. 76 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Student Council THE Student Council organized for its second successful term early in September. The first duty of the Council was to elect its officers: President, Herbert Ewing: Vice-president, Jack Strode; Secretary, Jessie Frost; Treasurer, Edward Jacoubs. The standing committees were reorganized and functioned capably during the term. It was through the efforts of the Council that the school obtained a permanent school seal. The seal, which was chosen by a committee of the Student Council, was designed by Marion Dietz. One of the greatest accomplishments of the Student Council was the establishment of a chapter of the National Honorary Society in Red Bank High School. This work was forwarded by the Scholarship Committee, which had the full support of the faculty. Mr. Skakandy was duly appointed adviser of this society. Membership is based on scholarship, character, and leadership, scholarship being the essential qualification. The names of those pupils who are in the upper third of their class in respect to scholarship are placed on a list. The Faculty decides by majority vote those who qualify in respect to character and leadership. The Assembly Committee of the Student Council took charge of all the chapel programs. They obtained many speakers and musical concerts which were both inter- esting and educational. The Budget Committee has been trying to work out some sort of budgeting system for the school. Each person would have to pay ten or fifteen cents a week into a school fund, which would enable them to attend all school functions, to receive the school paper and pay class dues without any extra charge. As yet no adequate plan has been drawn up, as each plan seems to interfere with class dues or some other organization. The other committees on the Council which have been working are the Credit Committee and the Lunch Room Committee. The Credit Committee has drawn up several point systems, whereby the students obtain points for extra-curricular activities, but as yet they have not been established. The Lunch Room Committee has kept order in the lunch rooms. 77 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 ►— o Z D O o H Z w Q D H cn 78 Rear Row: Arthur Simmonds Harry Cohen, Howard Gage, Frank Juliano, Harry Gage, Francis Nary, Benjamin Cook, Herbert McClees, Herbert Ewing, Edward Jacoubs, Angelo Murdico, Jack Strode, Samuel Libovsky.

Round Table THE Round Table, the bi-weekly news publication of the high school, will long be remembered as the voice of Red Bank High School. Although the publication was formerly in magazine style, it has for the past five years been issued as a news sheet, and since the establishment of a course in jour- nalism two years ago it has adopted a strictly newspaper style, which gives to its school public all news of sports, clubs, class activities, editorials, personals and jokes, and every fourth issue a supplementary page of literary features representing the talent of all classes. Perhaps the most popular issue of the paper was the comic issue each year. In April, 1929, the Round Table was admitted to Quill and Scroll, the national honorary society for high school journalists, and a chapter was established, which con- sists of the following: Ruth Straus, Kathryn Coulon, George Wolcott, Grandin Ham- mell, Abraham Etkins, Yetta Belgrad, Evelyn Mattson, Dorothy Mazza, Roberta Scott, Sutphin Knott. Staff members attended state and national conferences of high school journalists, and the entire class was granted the courtesy of a conducted tour through the plants of the Red Ban Register and the Asbury Par Press. ¥ 79 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First Row: Jack Mount, Anna Cameron, Ruth Wilman, Roberta Scott, Margaret Schanck, Edith Head, Winifred Shafto, Jessie Frost, Margaret Hackstaff, Sutphin Knott.

The National Honor Society RED BANK HIGH SOFTOOL has established a chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. The object of this chapter is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leader' ship, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Red Bank High School. Membership in this chapter is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Candidates are eligible only if they stand in the first third of their respective classes in scholarship and have spent at least one year in Red Bank High School. The best way to explain just what the National Honor Society is and what it means is to call it an offspring of Phi Beta Kappa. The candidate upon election receives an emblem or a pin somewhat resembling the Phi Beta Kappa key. 80 The Round Table 30 1 9 DEBATING TEAM Standing: Dorothy Dodge, Samuel Druy, H. Carl Kait (Coach), Doris Wilman, Dorothy Mazza. Seated: Dorothy Lippincott, Grace Getty, Elizabeth Powers. Debating Society DEBATING in the high school took on new life this year. A junior high school debating society was organised and trained. The officers for the year were: Doris Wilman, President; Samuel Druy, Vice-president; Dorothy Massa, Secretary. The team chosen for the year consisted of Samuel Druy, Captain; Elisabeth Powers, Dorothy Dodge, Dorothy Massa, Dorothy Lippincott, Doris Wilman, Grace Getty. Three gold medals are offered each year by The Red Ban Register for debating. The first will be awarded to the varsity debater who has been judged the best debater; the second to the debater who has debated for his first year and who has been chosen as the beginner who has made most progress during the season; the third medal will be awarded to the best debater and public speaker in the junior high school. 81 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 BAND Rear Row: Chester Arthur, Amory Osborn, Alfred Picone, James Stokes, Donald English, Phillip Jiannine, Ralph Ribustelli, Edward Fix, William Bottogara, Edwin Hobbs, George Beek- man, Edwin Beekman, Reginald Wolcott.

Band THE Red Bank High School Band has played at every football game, except one, making trips to Princeton and Long Branch. At all the games, the opponents1 letters were formed, as well as the “R11 for Red Bank. The Band also played for major basketball games on the home court. Music was furnished at various times for both Senior and Junior Assemblies, pep meetings, meetings of the Parent-Teachers’ Association, and the Memorial Day Parade. A spring concert was held under the joint auspices of the Orchestra and the Band. The Band exists to provide a wholesome and educational extra-curricular activity for those who wish to make music a hobby or a profession, and to furnish music at various school functions. 82 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 ORCHESTRA Rear Row: William Sakowits, Annabelle Marthens, Charles Riddle, Frank Juliano, Owen Eames, Martin Becker, Donald English, Phillip Jiannine, Edwin Hobbs.

Orchestra THE Orchestra played for the Presbyterian Brotherhood in December. After this very pleasing performance they were invited to play at the joint meeting of the Brotherhoods of Key port and of Red Bank on January 9. A concert was broadcast from WJBI during the year and the Orchestra played regularly for Junior and Senior Assemblies. In April the P. T. A. meeting enjoyed a concert. 83 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 The Girls’ Hi-Y Club LIKE the similar organisation of the boys, the girls1 Hi'Y Club is built on the fob lowing principles: to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and com' munity, high standards of Christian character. Its members are pledged to the promotion of good fellowship, the deepening of spiritual life, and the discussion of any problem confronting the students in Red Bank High School. The club tries to aid in the development of any project which it believes beneficial to the school or the community. To illustrate this policy, mention is made of the benefit performance given by the Girls1 Club in order to secure gold footballs for the 1929 championship football team of Red Bank High School. The program this year includes similar projects: the presentation to Red Bank High School of a silver loving cup, to be inscribed yearly with the name of the senior girl who proves to be most outstanding in the following qualities: character, service, leadership, and scholarship. It is also planned to have Miss Margaret Slattery, of New York, to speak to different groups on problems of general interest. The Junior Chamber of Commerce THE Junior Chamber of Commerce was organized in November, 1929. A student is eligible for active membership if he has a passing grade in commercial work. The purpose of the organization is defined in the constitution as follows: To familiarize its members with the demands of the business world through direct con' tacts; to promote greater efficiency in modern business methods; to study various voca' tions; to supply efficient clerical and stenographic service within the school through cooperation with the office and faculty. When outside speakers are invited, or vocational discussions are held, the meetings are open to the student body. Thus far the club has been fortunate in securing such speakers as Mr. William Sweeney, head of the Red Bank Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Thomas Gopsill, Assemblyman from Monmouth County. Another intent of the club is the editing of a mimeographed news sheet once a month. Athletics for All THE Girls1 Recreation Club is happy to report that this is the third year of its existence, and they feel that the club is gradually growing stronger. It is always rather difficult to start a new project, but so many girls have professed an interest in the various activities that, it is believed, the club is on a firm basis now. The purpose of the club is to have as many girls as possible interested in sports and out'of'door exercise. The point system is used and each year a large number of awards are granted to the girls earning this recognition by participation. 84 The Round Table 1 9 3 0 Humor Uplifting Literature The Heart Bandit...........
