THE LOG. . OF 19 4 1 RED BANK HIGH SCHOOL Red Bank New Jersey ALEX BEICHEK REBECCA SIEBER CARL LYONS GERALD B. RUSSELL ) RICHARD P. GUEST) Editor Associate Editor Business Manager Advisers EDITED BY THE SENIOR CLASS RED BANK HIGH SCHOOL RED BANK, NEW JERSEY WHY WE HEN we met as classmates four years ago, we looked ahead to long years of hard work. But now, as we approach the goal of our high school career—graduation —we wonder whether the years have been long enough. If we consider the days of work, hours of worry, and moments of ap- prehension each of us has experienced, they have, indeed, been slow in passing. But are there any, any of the class of ’41, who would forego the experiences of these years? Would any one of us part with the happy recol- lections that such terms as class meeting,” date bureau,” or the reception” call to mind? Yet, lest we lose these precious memories of our school life, we have assem- bled among these pages enduring reminders of all that we hold dear—our friends, our class, our Alma Mater. WROTE IT F, Gatu Page 4 HERE'S TO The unceasing efforts and friendly interest of our class advisers, Mr. Gerald Russell and Mr. Richard Guest, we of the class of 1941 owe much of the success and hap- piness of our high school years. As a slight token of our affection and appreciation, we dedicate to them this year- book, the record of those achievements in which their influence has played so large a part. RICHARD P. GUEST Pjge 6 Page 7 RAIN TRUST EDWIN C. CILLAND It is Mr. Gilland, Superintendent of Schools, who keeps Red Bank High running smoothly and is the silent partner of every student. Mr. Gilland supervises the many school activities by remote control, stepping from behind the scenes only in time of crisis to offer his excellent advice and guidance. HARRY C SIEBER It is the helping hand of Mr. .Sieber, our principal, that untangles the problems of many a troubled senior, for he acts not only as an instructor but as a big brother” to many a perplexed student. As a result of his helpful backing, many of our timid suggestions have be- come highly successful class proj- ects.

Secretary ANCHORS AWEIGH With every member of the class determined to speak his mind on financial matters, our class meetings resembled at times the erupting of Mount Vesuvius. Time and time again it took diplomatic presidents to cope with the situation. Their quick wit saved many a doomed project and added many a dollar to the treasury. When the good- humored pleadings of the presidents failed to gain order, the athletic builds of the vice- presidents succeeded. The thought of being bounced” by one of these football heroes was enough to quiet even the noisiest of the rowdies. Many a pencil was worn to the stub by our efficient secretaries in an effort to keep an accurate record of everything discussed at the meetings. Gregg shorthand was aban- doned in order to find a quicker method to take down the rapid fire of words which followed even the most casual remark dropped by an innocent bystander. Money has meant nothing but headaches to our trustworthy treasurers. In time of trouble, when the books would not balance, they would seek the counsel of Mr. Farris, our human adding machine. Although the class officers faced seemingly unsurmountablc difficulties, their efforts were not in vain, for they succeeded in bringing us, the class of 1941, to a very successful close.

Charles England, Louis Hiancci, Laying aside their glue pots and scissors, closing their typewriters, and emerging from their world of leads, proofs, cuts, two line drops, and printers’ ink, the Red Bank High School Nosey-newsies, otherwise known as the Round Table Staff, astonished the school world by sponsoring the First Annual Printer’s Prom, an affair Red Bank will be long in forgetting in spite of the stormy weather. Throughout the year, the newsyites have had to keep on their toes in order to supply the sheet” with up-to-the-minute news. No one person was safe; the cub reporters dug deep into the private lives of student and faculty members alike and came back with many an interesting anecdote. Occasionally humorous cartoons added life to the paper. This year they financed the school publication through a new and unique sub- scription drive, the success of which was due largely to the efforts of the Business Man- ager, Louis Bianco, and his very able advisers, Messrs. Klopp and Wells. The Round Table not only accomplished what it set out to do—to orient the reporters with the atmosphere of a real newspaper office—but it also turned out some of the finest editions in recent years. Af.KX HKICHEK F. ditor SLAVES TO And now it’s time to write about ourselves— for we too want to be remembered. The Log Staff was composed of those would-be writers who thought that memory books and diaries were not big enough to hold all our important events. So here we are, recording the highlights of our high school careers. The Log started rolling early in October amid estimates, plans, and high-pressured salesmanship. It seemed an almost hopeless task to plan a year book that would fill all our requirements, but a dummy finally took shape. When our easy-going editor, Alex Beichek, found going wasn’t very easy, he rolled up his sleeves and dug in. His ready sense of humor eased many a tense meeting and kept the spirit high. No task was too large or too small for our reliable associate editor, Becky Sieber. As one of her many tasks, Becky arranged the schedule for pictures and acted as a director of all candid photographs. She played an important part in planning, arranging, and assembling the book. 1.

P.� Kc 48 A WORTHY CAUSE All the higher mathematics and finance was left to Carl Lyons, our business manager, who kept us off the red side of the ledger. The adage, The best things come in small packages,” was personified by petite Rose Bunin, our literary editor. Day after day, Rosie could be seen dashing through the halls, assigning, col- lecting, and correcting our many articles. She wheedled, teased, and even used her brute force” to have all the articles finished on time. Nancy Barnes dug into our past history and came up with a complete account of our memor- able years. The literary staff members worked hard to insure the success of the book. After a final O. K., the material was handed to our hard-working typists. Everynight after school Room 5 was filled with the clatter of typewriters as the busy hands of Rose Wigdor- witz, Helen Herman, and Jeannette Tcremetzky flew over the keys. Keen-sighted Anthony Antinozzi analyzed each senior and set forth his most outstanding trait in poetry. These rhyming couplets added a touch of brightness to the pages of our senior section. Stepping from the gridiron to his an board, I iti Esposito created the tiny figures for our five dividers. Abl assisting 1 ifi were Yvonne Smith and Anita Kirschbaum, whose ideas contributed much to the success of the art work. Although putting this yearbook together has been work, not one of us could say we haven’t enjoyed it. If the class appreciates the memories set forth in this Log, we shall feel well repaid for the many hours spent and the troubles and worries encountered. GERAI.D H RCSSF.I.I.

Page A• DEMOCRACY AT WORK With the final words, The meeting is adjourned,” petite Carolyn Sutphin, president, closed another successful year for the Student Council. The Council, once again under the supervision of Doc” Wells, consisted of one representative from each home-room and three members chosen from the student bxxJy at large. Meetings were conducted once a week for the purpose of discussing and settling the problems which confronted the student body. This year the Student Council started the social ball rolling by sponsoring a successful Thanksgiving Dance. Among their other accomplishments were the arrangement of assembly programs, several drives for the Red Cross, the main- tenance of the patrol system, and the reorganization of the lunch room system. Realizing that the old saying All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” applies to groups as well as individu- als, the Council combined a little business with a lot of pleasure by attending the annual state convention and the monthly meetings of the Monmouth and Ocean County Stu- dent Councils. Many helpful ideas on how the council should be run were obtained from these meetings. 1. Final O K. 2. eat! 3. Sutphin presides. 4. Let me see your slip. 5.

Page 50 GIRLS WILL PLAY Left to rif ht: Mildred Marx Dorothy Wood Janet Holmes Mrs. I.echner Helen Herman The Girls’ Recreation Club is made up of about two hundred sport-minded girls. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Lechner, the adviser, they indulge in all activities from pingpong to basketball. Although the girls never obtain the fame and praise of a varsity letterman, they are just as proud of the awards they have earned and should receive just as much credit. The points acquired by a girl who has participated in some sport are kept on file by the recording secretary. There were chills, thrills, and plenty of spills at the mammoth skating party that the girls sponsored in the fall. More than one shapely limb was bruised and battered by too many contacts with the floor. In spite of the bruises and aching muscles, everyone from sophomore to senior enjoyed himself. Whether the girls have joined for sheer love of athletics or to try to remove those bulges, they all learn to work and play together successfully. 1. Jump ball. 2. Blow that whistle . Just a racket. I LET'S BE CANDID Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes! Keep- ing this excellent advice in mind, the eight members of the Camera Club went in quest of photogenic subjects. This year the search led them as far as New York, where they took candid shots of every interesting object in sight. After visiting a photo exhibit, the members unanimously decided that it would have been far better had it been a display of works by their adviser, Mr. Russell. During the year, photographs of all sizes, shapes, colors, and types were taken; and contests were held to determine which candid-camera fiend had taken the best photo in each particular classification. The school dark room is the hang-out” of the camera- men of Red Bank High. It was in this guarded haven that the members developed, printed, and enlarged their pic- tures. Should some brave soul dare to approach their forti- fication, he would probably be greeted with a curt, Get Out!” 1. Ifymer directs. ’• Watch the hirdie. Left to right: Wallace Becker, Mr. Russell.

Hallock, is composed of a group of art- and fun- loving students. These Greenwich Villagers” draw every- thing from bathing beauties to posters for the Red Cross. For recreation the future Michael Angelos go on picnics, bike-hikes, skating parties, and art shows. Best-loved is the annual trip to New York. There they visit the Metro- politan Museum and the Museum of Natural History; shows and radio programs are also enjoyed. Tin's year both adviser and members abandoned their paint brushes and palletes long enough to don the garb of Santa Claus. A large basket of food was prepared and sent to a family of fifteen for their Christmas dinner. Since even St. Nick must eat, the good deeders” fed themselves at a spaghetti dinner. In spite of the fact that the dinner was prepared entirely by the artists, it was enjoyed by everyone and no ill effects were suffered. First row: Sarah Porter, Rose Bunin.

The 1 umbling Club makes the world look upside down —by standing on its head, of course; for this club meets in the gym each Thursday to prove to the world that the man on the flying trapeze” is not the only one who can float through the air with ease.” Under the very able direction of Mrs. Lechner, the eighteen limber members of the club study the how, why, and wherefore” of acro- batics. Because of their earnest endeavors, the sale of lini- ment has boomed, for a little wiggle will send an entire pyramid crashing to its doom. To terminate its numerous practices, the club presented its annual program to the students. The antics of the clown act and the hilly 1 v costumes of the square-dancers gave the performans of humor. Grace and talent were demonstrated Is, dives, and numer- ous individual stunts. An. v proved one of the most popular organizations on i program. Page 54 I, Mark me ilown f u a spire. J.

When the sound of rolling thunder followed by the crash of lightning descends upon your delicate ears, we don’t wonder that you run and hide, quaking under your respective tables. But according to the records, it’s only the Red Bank High Bowling Club stacking up a perfect three hundred. Under the guidance of Mrs. Lechner and Mr. Wells, the bowlers took a weekly trip to the Mon- mouth Recreation Center where they demonstrated their athletic prowess in this engrossing sport. Whether they hit the ten pins or missed them, the group derived a great deal of enjoyment from their indoor recreation. This is the one sport in which the girls come closest to vying with the boys. The boys who had snickered when the girls made three strikes during base! 1 «eason, watched with awe as the same girls rolled strikes at the alleys. Su until tlv minting sport to occupy agine their motto will be Merrily We Bowl Along.” Page n NO TIME FOR COMEDY California Here We Come” is the motto of many of the talented members of the Masquers, and we have reason to believe that someday some of these starry-eyed Clark Gables and Katherine Hepburns will make good. The Masquers” has helped these stage-struck kids fur- ther their ambitions by giving their annual presentation of three one-act plays. In these amateur performances, the Thespians had a real chance to get on a stage, face an audience, and show the stuff of which actors and actresses are made. In January they dipped into the treasury fund and journeyed to New York to see Helen Hayes in Twelfth Night.” After the performance, to their great astonish- ment, Miss Hayes invited the group from the little town of Red Bank to go backstage to see her, just as if they were the most important people in New York City. The thrill of meeting and talking with the First Lady of the Theater” was one that will not be forgotten. ■ irs t wii1: Rose Bottargo, Miriam Aliramovitz, Marjorie Moore, Helen Herman.

Page 56 YOU TAKE THE HIGH NOTES WE'LL TAKE THE LOW NOTES Starting off the year with a lip-roaring” concert for the Parent-Teacher Association, the Girls’ Glee Club, un- der the able guidance of Mr. A. LeRoy Baker, made their initial appearance on the stage of the junior high school. So successful were they, in that first attempt, that a concert was presented to an enthusiastic audience later in the year. Another feather was added to their cap when they were asked to sing before the congregation of the Reformed Church of Red Bank. Once again they demonstrated their musical ability. Often the club and the orchestra have har- monized together, creating even more terrific successes. No one could spend their time more enjoyably or more usefully than by listening to thirty beautiful damsels go- ing into their song.” Whether it be God Bless America” or Boogie Woogie,” two of their favorites—the rafters fairly ring with sound sixth period these days when the Girls’ Glee Club goes into action.

KEYS TO SUCCESS The Commercial Club was organized to unite the recre- ational and educational activities of the ‘'White Collar Girls” of our school. These mischievous misses are some of Red Bank’s brightest students. Although they can be ex- tremely serious when typing contracts or taking dictation, an irrepressible sense of humor pops up whenever Miss Leola Robinson, their adviser, mentions Felix, her cat. The members are, for the most part, students taking the commercial subjects in which their adviser specializes. Realizing that all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl, Miss Robinson and other faculty members conceived the clever plan of sending the stenographical stars out in the business world for a few weeks to garner experience. Need- less to say, the girls came back thrilled with their accomp- lishments and much the wiser for them.

THE Y'S HAVE IT The purpose of the Senior Girls’ Hi-Y is to pro- mote good fellowship among high school girls. In spite of its stormy meetings, the club successfully accomplished many beneficial deeds, such as contrib- uting Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to the needy of our town. In heated discussions the girls expressed their somewhat fiery opinions of school and community events. As a special activity, the club helped sponsor the Saturday Night Dances,” a proj- ect which proved extremely successful. The most gala occasion was the annual banquet at which even the austere president, Helen Borden, and Miss Rogers, adviser, abandoned parliamentary procedure and had packs of fun. This fine organization which has aided students for years, will probably continue to do so for a long time to come. Under the advisership of George Worth ley, the Rho-Beta Boys’ Hi-Y lias done much to justify its ex- istence as a Y” group. It has helped the needy at Christmas time, cooperated with different charities, endeavored to learn the methods of American gov- ernment and the ways of good citizenship, and has sponsored its share of social activities. The annual party, given by the Rho-Beta, proved highly success- ful. Juke-box” jive was plentiful, with refreshments and practical jokes thrown in on the side. The Rho- Beta basketball team swished through a successful sea son under the captaincy of the club’s president, Frank Long. Encouraged by the promise that many mem- bers will be returning next year, Rho-Beta hopes to uphold this same high standing.

Twirling and stepping like pro- fessionals, they formed the advance guard of the Red Bank High School Band. Their swirl- ing white satin skirts and smart captain hats, with brilliant plumes blowing in the breeze, created the glamour part of the picture. Sur- prisingly enough, they managed to keep both beautiful and warm even on the coldest days. Here’s to the majorettes! May they add color and charm to many an athletic contest of the future.

In 1940, the football squad under the tutelage of coaches Richard Guest, Ernest Gilliland, and Carl Smith, started oif inauspi- ciously when they dropped a close game to the I.ions of Leonardo. The final gun brought to a halt a Red Bank march to Leonardo’s two- yard line. On the next four following Sat- urdays, when Red Bank met good squads from Linden, South River, Morristown, and Asbury Park 1 ligh Schools, the end of the games showed the Maroon squad was on the short end of the scoring. However, the home team showed great improvement in form when they outplayed the Princeton Tigers in spite of the adverse score. On the following Saturday Red Bank snapped into the win column for the first time when they trimmed the Scarlet Fliers from Neptune to the tune of thirteen to noth- ing. The maroon and grey team was idle on the next weekend as it prepared for its annual classic with Long Branch High School. Play- ing on the home field, Red Bank rolled up nineteen points by the end of the third period. In the final period, she held off a rally by Long Branch to win the game nineteen to twelve.

PASS DRIBBLE The Smithmen of Red Bank High did their namesake and idol, Coach Carl J Smith, justice this year by completing one of the most successful basketball seasons that Red Bank High has had in many years. The team finished their schedule of twenty-two games with fifteen games won and seven lost. The hoopsters got off to a rather shaky start four of their losses coming at the begin- ning of the season), but gained momentum as they went on through the tougher part of their schedule. After a strenuous session of warming-up, the team’s first real test came during the Round Robin. Here, Red Bank tied for second place with Manasquan and Long Branch and enjoyed their first taste of victory on a court. Following two consecutive losses to South River and Wechawken, the school-boys defeated the Alumni in a gruelling encounter. Before their luck changed, the team tasted one more defeat in a hard-fought contest with Carteret. Coach Smith’s men gained their first real foothold, however, by taking over Plainfield 39-34. There followed a series of nine straight victories, during which the Red Band Court- sters took over the once-victorious South River team. The most smashing victory came when Red Bank retaliated for their former loss by scalping the Weehawken Indians 78-54. Car- teret seemed to be the team’s jinx, for they dropped the next game to them before a crowd of over six hundred. The Red Bank cagers closed the regular season by chalking up their second win over Key port. With clean suits and a clean slate, Red Bank entered the State tournament. Their first game was with a strengthened Princeton Tiger team, which, after a close battle, once again bowed to the fast-breaking Bankers. This brought the team to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by a powerful Bound Brook team, which was later to win the Central New Jersey Group III Championship. Meanwhile Ernest Gilliland had taken the Page 72 PIVOT SHOOT Junior Varsity team in hand, and the Rookies ended their season with an equal number of games won and lost. All in all it was a very good season, and the coaches and student body have a good reason to be extremely proud of their teams. Front: I.con Adler. First rtnv: Herman Kaz our.

Pa c 7J LOVE MEANS NOTHING In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love”—but don’t take it the wrong way, for by love we mean the tennis count of zero. With Coach Harold Potter as their model, the tennis team set out to master the 3rt of the game. Any idea you might have had about tennis being sissy-stuff is entirely mistaken, for practicing out in the hot sun is no easy job. future Don Budges spent many of their spring afternoons practicing services, lobs, and volleys. Their patience was often tried to the utmost when they took a healthy swat at the place where the illusive ball should have been, only to find that it had once more disappeared; but before the end of the season the boys were proud to discover that they could return every ball delivered them. especially when the cool, in- viting waters of the Shrewsbury River are only a ball’s bounce from Red Bank’s courts. However, the boys were grateful for their long practices when they reaped dividends in the form of many victorious matches. These Left to right: Harry Matthews, Edward Kislin, George Brown, Guy Van Ness, Mickey Long, Mr. Potter. Even under the handicap of playing most of their games on unfamiliar courts, the team showed such adaptability that one foe after another fell before its smashing drives. All in all, the 1941 tennis team can chalk up to their credit an extremely successful season. 1. Follow through. 2. With a twist of the wri t. 3. Posed. 4. Here's how. 5. Down-Beat. ft.

BATTER UP With the Yankees and Dodgers in their spring training camps, the Red Bank High baseball team doffed their winter woolies to stretch their arms and indulge in a little batting practice. Although many stars of the preceding season were gone, Coach Wiley took the material on hand and whipped it into a fine team. By heavy hitting and superb pitching, the Maroon” team was able to pull many tight games out of the fire. With a squad of but eighteen keen, eagle- eyed ball players. Red Bank proceeded to put on the diamond a steady, hard-hitting ball club from the first call of play ball” to the last inning of the season. The veterans once again flashed the form which had made them so valuable last season, and rookies often came through in the pinches to present the team with a well-earned victory. Fads welcomed the base- ball season with the enthusiasm with which they have always greeted the call of Balter Up.” Page 75 First raw: Stuart Cohn, Robert Wolcott, Paul Patter- son, .Morgan Eilert, Louis;, DeH’Omo.

I ON YOUR MARK The pounding of spikes on the cinders was louder than usual this season, as Red Bank High School’s track team pushed itself to levels of achievement rarely attained by high school trackmen. But speed was not the only strong forte of the maroon. In jumping, pole-vaulting and especially the weight events, there were men to excel. At the beginning of the season, Coach Guest was greeted by a nucleus of six or seven talented veterans. These men assured the Bankers” of many first places, but it was the inexperienced rookies” upon whom Coach Guest placed the burden of winning those runner-up positions that so often mean the difference between victory and defeat in a track meet. They did not disappoint him, for their points were useful in conquering many of Red Bank’s rivals. The Maroon, this year, can claim one of the best seasons in many a moon. With abundance of speed and power, the Bankers” showed their heels to many a powerful foe. It will be with great sorrow that the seniors of this year’s track team lay down their spiked shoes, although many of their opponents will be glad to see these stalwart men leave the portals of Red Bank High School. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

SHIN GUARDS AND HOCKEY STICKS Braving the prospect of bruised shins and tired muscles, over sixty-five girls reported to the gym in the t.tll for hockey practice. The regular Tuesday workouts under the instruction of Mrs, Lechner were a valuable aid, and it was not long before the girls realized that a bully was not a big brute, but a method by which the ball is put into play. For a time goalie was a much sought after posi- tion, as it seemed to be the easiest place on the team. I low ever, after watching the oncoming team tear down the field towards the goal, the number of would-be goalies decreased at an alarming rate of speed. Although a hockey stick and a ball arc the only pieces of equipment required for this game, these feminine Goliaths soon discovered the real importance of shin guards as they advanced down the field to meet the foe. Glamour was abandoned as the girls donned mufflers, heavy sweaters and mittens to protect themselves from the wintry blasts that swept the field. Any theory about girls’ sports being sissy-tuff was disproved when the Red Bank hockey team marched on the field and carried on a gallant fight until the final whistle. , Pag« 77 KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BASKET With the passing of hockey, the bloomer girls of Red Bank High School, under the guidance of Mrs. Hermia Leckner, took to the basket- ball court. The first practice found confident stars and hopeful beginners all trying to win a spot on their class team. Spirit and hope faded for many, however, as the ball appeared to swell and the basket to shrink. After a few practices, some dejected figures were seen warming the bench.” Activity period was the usual time for the girls to practice and prepare for the ensuing games with other schools. These play days were conducted with good sportsmanship, rather than with victory, in mind; however, the senior girls had a very successful season, win- ning many of their games. After each contest, they were well rewarded for their efforts when, diets forgotten, they indulged in refreshments and climaxed the day with songs and cheers. Homeroom teams were also organized under two capable leaders, whose duty it was to bring their team to the top. The tenseness of each gym class reached an unequaled height when rival squads began the tournaments which were to acclaim one the winner. The season ended with a bang when the class tournament was held. This tournament included the teams of freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, and the seniors had the distinction of being dubbed the best in Red Bank High School. Meanwhile, Mrs. Leckner had organized a Referee’s Club” to instruct the girls who were interested in becoming qualified basketball referees. The select few who passed the rigid floor and written tests which were given by state officials were then qualified to referee anywhere in New Jersey.

With the arrival of spring, the girls of Red Bank High turned out en masse to participate in their favorite spring sport—baseball. Under the supervision of Mrs. Lechner, the girls began to practice for their ensuing games. Weekly work-outs, consisting of drills in batting, pitching, and handling the ball, were held in order to eliminate all those who seemed to lack the makings of a good player. Teams were organized under efficient captains, whose duty it was to see that each team played its best at all times. Although many cherished fingernails were broken, the girls’ enthusiasm never slackened. With sportsmanship prevalent and competi- tion keen, gym period squads were organized. Preliminary games were played until one team emerged the victor. This team was acknow- ledged the school champion. Class tournaments developed interest in both individuals and teams. Many an undiscovered star was dis- covered—a trick player, capable of leading her through numerous tight spots. After many hard and strenuous practices, the girls were in condition and anxiously await- ing their games with neighboring schools. Rivalry increased as the season shortened. Our game with Long Branch, a close contest, proved to be the highlight of a successful season. The games were played under the supervision of student referees, whose job was not always an easy one. With every girl believing her per- sonal decision to be correct, the referees often found themselves in hot water.” 1 lowever, everything was always adjusted amiably, and we shall always remember those baseball days, when with tired feet and stiff muscles, victor- ious or vanquished, we all rejoiced together. PjKr 79 F E A T IJ H E S FROM SOPHOMORES TO SENIORS The old familiar saying, little fish in a big pool,” could very aptly have been applied to the approximately two hundred students who entered senior high school three years ago. However, as days and weeks went by, each of us, a shade more confident, was prone to walk through the halls with a newly-developed swagger. We became aware that we were just as much a part of the Alma Mater as any of our glory-laden heroes, although a smile or word in our direction was still enough to send many of us into spasms of ecstasy. We found that being a high school student, although it sounded grand, had its drawbacks. It wasn’t just a question of being looked up to” by our younger sisters or friends, but the pro- motion, also, involved a lot of hard trials and great tribulations, mainly in the form of home- work. One of our first real jolts came, when at a glance at our financial status, we found simply much blank space that desperately needed filling. Luckily our class advisers, Mr. Russell and Mr. Guest, were men of grim determination, and over- night our records showed the startling boom from nothing to $300. Oh yes, we had established a substantial balance but not without the loss of much weight on the part of our advisers. At every class meeting they pounded away at the idea that if we cared anything for yearbook, reception, etc., we would all have to do our part. Here was a plan: everyone was to sell at least five boxes of stationery. Advertising campaigns began, sales talks were practiced secretly before mirrors; and we all ate, drank, and slept station- ery. Soon you could not walk down the hall without confronting large charts and graphs with signs reading, Have you sold your quota?” and if you hadn’t you were aware of innumerable eyes piercing into the nape of your neck. Success was ours! Nearly every house in Red Bank sported at least one box of Hammermill Bond Stationery, and we walked off with honors from the company for the highest record attained by any class. Maybe we didn’t feel like the cat that swallowed the canary, and we looked it! In our eleventh year some attempt was made to sell magazines, but most of our energy was concentrated on the Junior-Senior Reception. Dec- orations were planned, committees were appointed, dance cards were printed; in short, everything was done to make that evening a gala affair. A slight drizzle didn’t succeed in dampening anyone’s spirits and the gym was packed with fun-loving juniors and seniors, who. studies forgotten, set- tled down to enjoy an evening, which left many happy memories. Our last year we succeeded in getting the jump on stationery and book stores by selling colorful Christmas cards before Santa C laus had started earnestly to work. Also at every football game, seniors were seen busily running up and down the b eachers calling forth the well-known cry of candy, hot-dogs, peanuts, and chewing gum.” February came and went, and with it the privilege of seeing fellow classmates and friends graduate. At the exercises tears and laughter were mingled, and the rest of us were left to carry on with the usual classes and the dear old golden rule days.” Then came spring and the Junior-Senior Recep tion held in our honor. We had no planning to do, but each of us looked forward eagerly to the dance with the proverbial questions of what to wear and with whom to go. These minor prob- lems were checked with our wraps, however, and the sweet refrains drifting into the hall- ways put us all in buoyant spirits to face any toe-dancing” or shin-digging” that was to follow. When the big night of the Senior Play arrived, the weary hours of rehearsal faded into oblivion as each player found himself shoved before the foot-lights to be applauded or criticized by an overwhelming number of doting parents. The apparent nonchalance, which covered the pound- ing hearts and shaking knees, showed little evidence of the inevitable confusion backstage. Suddenly, as if by magic, it was over in the flurry of curtain calls, flowers and congratulations, gratefully acknowledged by the starry-eyed, flush-cheeked actors. Now on the day of graduation we are ready to take our first real step into the world, where we are still small fish only in a much larger pool. Only now, we have an instrument labeled Knowledge” to aid us. Page 8 f Page 86 Left to ritiht: Richard Hammer. Janet Holmes. AVe Mickey Long, I lurothy Wood, Carol Ford. Josejih l.o Cicero.

GOING PLACES WITH THE SENIOR CLASS When it comes to tossing verbal bouquets,” the cast of the senior play, Going Places” was literally buried in flowers. With an ovation that a premiere on the Great White Way would find hard to equal, our very own first citizens of Hollywood were widely acclaimed by their enthusiastic audience. Jeff Sterling (Carl Lyons), football manager, is anxious to get Chuck Malloy (I)ick Hammer) on the football squad; but Chuck has flunked the history entrance examination. Jeff, in trying to find a way to get him into Hartford, enlists the help of Shirley (Marjory Moore), daughter of Dr. Kimball (Joe Lo Cicero), president of the college, Rosemary Lee (Carolyn Sutphin), a co-ed, and Gladys Miller (Rose Bottagaro), a music student employed as a maid. The three conceive a plan to get Chuck a re-examination from Professor Stubbs (Anthony Antinozzi), the meticulous history prof. While Jeff has gone to bring back Chuck, Rosemary and Shirley persuade Cuthbert (Mickey Long), Rosemary’s cousin, to take the history exam for Chuck, and in that way get him into Dartford. This plan fails, however, when Professor Stubbs learns Cuthbert’s real identity. So many people are trying to co-operate, that the resultant confusion puts Professor Kimball and Mrs. Kimball (Carol Ford), who is usually the essence of dignity and poise, into quite a state of nerves. Professor Kimball doesn’t know whether Aunt Kate is Mrs. Stubbs (Janet Holmes) or Florence Ward (Alice Kubli), a magazine feature writer. Chuck’s wealthy Aunt Kate (Dot Wood) saves the day by endowing a new library to the college, and sees that everyone gets his just dues, including Chuck and Cuthbert who are admitted to Dartford, and Professor Stubbs, who regains his position on the faculty, which he had previously lost in the mixup. Through the efforts of the cast and Mrs. Kane, director, the play turned out to be a huge success. Page YOUTH HAS ITS FLING Although the Junior-Senior Recep- tion of 1940 will never be written in Life,” to the students of Red Bank High it meant just as much as any president’s birthday ball. The appro- priately lighted gym, with its flower- adorned trellises complementing the gay gowns of glamorous girls, had an atmosphere of a summer garden party rather than that of a cool, misty evening in May. Although the dance programs added a touch of sophistica- tion, all formality was lost between dances as the boys hunted frantically through the crowd for their partners for the next dance. During intermis- sion punch and cookies offered an opportunity for a new kind of scram- ble. At midnight, the Cinderellas and their princes with great reluctance departed to the strains of Good Night Sweetheart.” Page 89 Junior - So nior Reception (.liveo U Junior ( lass .f Kr«l Ikinlt lligli School llrplturn r 24 k 1940 LAST WILL We, the class of 1941, being now of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills hereunto by us made in the manner following to-wit: I, Anna Heyligcr, do bequeath my dimples to Lois Silvers.
