Thus, it will have become a permanent memorial of some of the most cherished memories we shall ever pos- sess-those of our school days. Not all of us will gather together this spring to receive our yearbooks, for many of our classmates have chosen to battle with arms instead of books and are already doing their share to deliver a war-torn world from oppression that other generations may be able to retain memories of school days free from nightmares of blood and tears. To these, the members of our class, who have already entered the armed forces of the United States, we dedicate The Log of 1944. KA'I'HIERINI2 SICKLIZS, Sew'el.1ry In Mr. Glffjzllltf EDXVIN C.

Wfe wish to acknowl- edge with gratitude his capacity for mulch ing things run smoothly and his willing- ness to assist in the solution of any student problem. HARRY C SIEBER Prizzcifuzf Wfithout Mr. Sieber's untiring assist- ance, our class would never have reached its day of graduation. It was his ever- present interest in each individual student and his ever-guiding hand that kept us on the straight and narrow path, MILIJRIZD L. RICHTITR.

Last fall Fred Bruno was elected president with Sally Talarico as vice-president. All correspondence was the special duty of Margaret Borden, while all financial matters were delegated to Carmela Fiorctti, who, with the assistance of Harriet Dwyer, has done an excellent job of keeping our finances in good order, Heading the executive committee, Ed Strauss did yeoman service until he decided to don the blue uniform of our Navy. Immediately ready to pinch-hit was Harold Seldin, who we might say has really done an excellent job in pushing our sales. To the executive committee fell the job of organizing the class and taking care of all sales. It was up to them to choose the products which were sold, and to see that the class made money. The committee, with representatives from various homerooms, saved much time and work by substituting smaller group meetings for the more unwieldly class meeting. We believe that the class with its officers has done a truly super job of making money for such projects as the Senior Ball and The Log. Orchids to them!

For the past two years they have held sev- eral money-making campaigns to help them finance the projects of their senior year. Next year, as sophisticated seniors, they will under- take many new and confusing duties. XVith Mr. Stanley Carhart to advise them, however, they are certain to uphold the proud tradi- tions of Red Bank High School. Good luck and God speed, Schoolmates of the Class of 1945! Z7 SOPHOMORES Having just entered senior high school, the Sophomores little realize the trials and tribulations that lie ahead of them. This year they have just begun to think about earning money to carry on the many and varied projects of the senior yearg however, 28 we are sure that all these will be successful. Congratulations, Sophomores, on the com- pletion of our first year in senior high school and best wishes. May your last two years be as successful and happy a this one has been!

C ,, LET'S GO f 5'- ,V 3 Lest the utiring efforts of the yearbook staff be forgotten, this space has been set aside to relate to you the inside story of The Log. The first step was the choosing of an editor. This fall, a plan for the yearbook was submitted by any person interested in this post. These dummies underwent the critical judgment of the class adviser, executive committee, and several faculty members. As a result, Bob Ruddy was chosen editor with Marion Todd as his assistant. Next, came the appointing of committee chair- men from a list of names secured from the vari- iip In bottmu: limb Ruddy Marion Todd llai-old Seldin left to right, lirst row: Cusiino I:1illC0llC, Chester Trnbin, Uicl: Davis, Jerry Xlberts, limb Ruddy, Fred Bruno.

TO PRESS ous English teachers. In due time, Helen Babbit was given the position of chairman of the literary editors. Immediately, with the help of the class executive committee, she began to select class humorists, historians, and poets. To the chairmen of the Activities Committee, Joanne Serpico and jerry Alberts, fell the duties of seeing that all clubs and special curricular ac- tivities were written up. Our pride is the art work of this year's Log, We speak of it especially because we believe it to be far better than that of any other Red Bank yearbook. All drawings originated in the pen points of Sylvia Ohl and Evelyn Leavens, to whom we are greatly indebted for their expert services. The recording of the school sports was the work of Nancy Abbott, Dick Davis, and their committees for girls' and boys' athletics, All our financial and business worries fell into the lap of Harold Seldin, the Log business man- ager, who received as his reward three gray hairs. Thus, the Log finally took shape and developed into the final product which is now yours. In spite of priorities, the staff has sincerely tried to prepare for you a yearbook worthy of the Class of 1944. SLAVES TO A WORTHY CAUSE DO YOU LIKE THIS ONE?

STUDENT COUNCIL Adviser: M r. Paziclcy BIG DEALS 32 The twenty representatives who comprise the Red Bank student government organization with the able assistance of their adviser, Mr. Pazicky, did much to lend prominence to Red Bank High School during the past year. At the beginning of the year the Council ran a bond drive in competition with Leonardo High School. Expecting only half-hearted returns from the students, the representatives were bowled over with 355,000 worth of bonds and stamps, more than enough to outstrip Leonardo. Again at the mid-year the Council ran a bond drive in conjunc-- tion with the Fourth War Loan. This time the sales went well over S27,000, a wonderful total considering that the total for ten months last year was only 39,000 In the school itself the Council supervised the patrol, passing on the stairs, lunchrooms, the Tuberculosis, Red Cross, and Infantile Paralysis drives. The Council could have accomplished nothing without the full cooperation of the students, the representatives have done an excellent job in creating student interest and cooperation. ART GUILD Under the direction of Miss Langhans, our art teacher, the Senior Art Guild has accomplished 11 great deal during the past year. Painting, sketch- ing, and many of the lovely things that can be done in the field of art have been projects of the group. The club, composed of fifteen students, elected otlicers and conducted its meetings in a business- Iike manner. The purpose of the guild was to enable those Preridefzt ......

Also, acting as a publicity agency, the club produced posters advertising games, dances, bond-sales, and various other school activities. Finally, each member has worked industriously to complete the murals which have been designed to commemorate the achievement of the men and women who are serving in our armed forces today, The officers of the club are as follows' - - - - jane White Charles Youmans Art in the Making Margaret Hoffman, Miss Langhans, Jerry Applegate, Jane XYhite, John Rabito, Bob Lee. -.-s 55 Standing left to right: John Mattoccio, Chester Trubin, Stan Gogel, John SCll0EHll1g ld Morris, Bob VVQ-st.

CAMERA CLUB Under the capable supervision of Mr. Anthony Trufolo, the Camera Club expanded considerably this year in membership and equipment. Besides taking a great many pictures, the members de- veloped, printed, and enlarged them in the well- equipped dark-room, of which they are so proud, Wherever there was high school activity, there was also a club member with his camera open, ready to shoot. Many of the pictures taken were so popular that they were sold to the many stu- dents desiring them. This money was added to the club's treasury toward more and better photo- graphic materials. Most of the informal snapshots in The Log are products of Camera Club work. Standing, left to right: Beverly Gallagher, Nancy Abbott, Shirley Ma on Norma.

You could usually find all twenty girls sprawled on the floor or sitting on the six chairs placed in the room. Amid the gossip and confusion you could hear a few weak voices yelling, Quiet, Miss Seeley, their competent adviser, was always present to assist the girls with their troubles or social problems. After a vigorous introduction, Joanne Serpico, president, obtained silence. Be- side her Babs Riorden, vice-president, was ready to bounce anyone out of order. Betty Carhart, secretary, usually adlibed the minutes, and Peggy Bergman, treasurer, got on her knees and pleaded for dues. After picking up the pennies, Peggy greedily counted the money and made her report. Following the business meeting, some of the more energetic damsels attempted to play an exciting game of basketball. All in all the Senior Tir-Hi-Y accomplished many things in their three years of organization. This group sponsored many dances and presented various entertainments. Each year projects were assumed for the aid of the community, Among the group's activities were a box luncheon, beach parties, holiday parties, suppers, trips to New York, and an ice-skating party which was thrown on the great Shrewsbury.

Under the excellent super- vision of Mrs. Barbara Kane, the club has had a most successful year. Unfortunately, for strictly patriotic reasons, the club was unable to present its customary three one- act plays. Instead, the members delved into phases of the theater and theatrical life. A fairly complete study of stage, scenery, and all sorts of special effects was made. Yes, not only do we expect to see our own Masquers become famous Broadway actors and actresses someday, but per- haps there will beean occasional producer or stage manager of note whose interest in his profession dates from the school dramatic club meetings of 1944. .

This is the familiar shout sent up in the gym activities period by the referees club, which was organized in the fall under the direction of Mrs. Irene Smith. At the first meeting the girls were given small books filled with complicated rules and told to learn them. After weeks of hard work they took a mental test, those passing were ready for practice on the gym floor. After their nervousness wore off, they soon realized that they actually knew when to blow the whistle and to call fouls. While two girls acted as referee and umpire the others watched and verified or corrected the calling. All this improved their own game, and they stopped to think before claiming the ref as being partial or unfair. The games played during noon hour, activities period, and after school were refereed by the girls of the club. This spring they took a test, and those passing will become rated officials of Top row, left to right: Frank Merritt, Dorothy XV0lc0tt, Nancy Laurino, Iennie Tomaino, Clara hlerrill, hlaydawn l'JeVoe, Ray XYolf.

It was de- veloped in the early stages by Mrs. Leckner, our former teacher of physical education. Mrs. Smith has made it blossom into a promising club. During the past three years, the owner of the Red Bank Bowling Center has generously reduced the price of the games for us to fifteen cents. Even though the time for this club is after school, there are quite a few members in it.

Preceded by the Drum Major and thirteen white-clad majorettes, the maroon and gray uni- formed band members completed a gala procession. On the football field the band made beautiful and intricate formations, letters, stars, and spirals. Down Red Bank's main streets, a parade carried the glad news of several football victories. Besides having added interest to football games, the band has given concerts in the local schools and has marched in U. S. Victory Parades, These musicians also played for field days and graduation.

SING FOR YOUR SUPPER In December of 1943, Miss Vogel, our music teacher, issued a call for all girls interested in ora ganizing a Glee Club, the first project of its kind ever to be introduced to Red Bank Senior High School. ln response, a great number of girls signified a desire to participate, After testing and grouping the voices, Miss Vogel outlined the program of the club. A por- tion of the time each Monday and Wednesday' was devoted to the rehearsing of various songs ln this manner the first Girls' Glee Club of Red Bank Senior High School was organized.

GIRLS' RECREATION CLUB F L Y I N' H I G H At the beginning of each year all tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls are called together in the gymnasium to signify the first meeting of the G. R. C. The Girls' Recreation Club is organized to fur- ther girls' interests in sports. The motto, A girl in every sport and a sport for every girlf' is the background of the club. Each girl tries to enter as many sports as pos- sible in order to gain a large number of credits. These credits are based on a point system, and are added up at the end of each year. If enough points are earned, such awards as shields, chevrons, nu- merals and letters are given. If a girl works con- sistently during three years of membership and procures the required number of points, she is re- warded a gold R. lt's a bird, no, it's a planesthe product of those supermen from the Airplane Club, which was introduced for the first time into the Senior High School and which has proved to be very popular. This new club, under the direction of Mr, Best, did much in the way of designing and constructing model airplanes of many types. The favorite was the gasoline model. For these, spe- cial gas ration coupons were procured from the ration board. At least once a week, usually Sat- urday, the members met and held a contest, at which they demonstrated their flying models, the prizes being bits of helpful criticism. The planes were judged on how well and how long they stayed in the air, All things taken into consideration, the Air- plane Club has more than justified its existence.

We shall always remember those younger days of pigtails and knickers, when we were always finding new friends and were forever falling in love with a neighboring boy or girl. But time flew by, and after seemingly many years in elementary and junior high school, we finally emerged as senior high school students with added duties and responsibilities which we assumed with a rather serious manner. As sophomores, with Mr. Stephen Skakandy as our adviser, we sold Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and writing paper in an inter-class sales competition. Since the juniors were way ahead of us, we determined to win second place, and did, Suddenly our junior year was upon us, and we realized that if we wanted to make a name for ourselves, we'd better get busy. Christmas cards, wrapping paper and magazines made up our sales campaigns in that year, When 1943 rolled around, we emerged from our badly-confused junior year and were faced with the fact that we were honest-to-goodness seniors, accordingly we be- came more serious. Big things were to be done. We began with the election of our class officers, the appointment of an executive committee, and last but not least, the organization of the year book staff. The first little bit of money-making was the sale of candy at the football games. Immediately afterwards we began our big selling campaigns of magazines, Chrismas cards, wrapping paper, and writing paper. Our magazine sales really hit a school record. The profits from these sales left our class riding high financially. In February, the members of the mid-year. class of '44 left us-yes, part of our own class had graduated. Then began rehearsals for the senior play, Growing Pains. in which our classmates gave a truly spectacular performance. In the spring we held our Senior Dance, netting a tidy profit. In May the juniors honored us with a farewell gift, a very memorable junior-Senior Reception. Finally, in june, we gave ourselves a very lovely farewell ball in honor of our last year in Red Bank High School. Now on our last day, we realize that we are to leave our Alma Mater and take our positions in a war-torn world. Thankful for all the knowledge and experience gained in Red' Bank High School, we pledge to use this background to the best of our ability in the years to come.

However, with high-spirited support from the student body, they conducted numerous pep rallies and led the cheering at every game. During the football season the girls made an impressive appearance on the field in their maroon skirts and heavy white sweaters, while cheering the team to a victorious season. The team having received the hard-earned title of Co-champions, the football season came to an end, and the thoughts and interests turned to basketball. Since the games were held inside, the girls changed their outfits to something lighter. This time with long sleeved white blouses, short maroon corduroy skirts, and suspenders to match, the girls again led the crowd in basketball cheers. The squad consisted of Virginia Conover, cap- tain, Nancy Abbott, Elinor Riordan, Jennie To- maino, Viola Smith, Joanne Serpico, Florence Wfright, Dorothy Ely, and Barbara Doremus.

Strutting down the field with the High School Band, they added a colorful at- traction for the onlookers. Being a majorette might have appeared to many to be simply a glory job. However, there was also a great deal of hard work connected with it, for every formation had to be practiced until perfec- tion was obtained. Many of these tricky formations and acrobatic stunts were presented before thousands of specta- tors at several different games of the year, To those up and coming majorettes we wish as much luck in swinging the baton as has been had by the majorettes in the Class of '44g and to the majorettes who are leaving Red Bank High go our thanks, and may they be as successful in life as they have been in helping to support a victorious football team. rbara Standing, left to right: Mr. Carhart, Patsy Scotti, Mr. Pin- De Gennaro, Gershon Meckler.

Although tradition has it that a successful basketball team should run to height, the only lanky lads on the Red Bank team this year were Frank Booth and Frank De Gennaro. Usually, this would be a detri- ment to a team, but, as our opponents soon found out, there is plenty of fight in the little fellow. The spearheads of the attack were our ambidextrous forwards, Ray Coreale and Frank De Gennaro, who, backed up by our fast-moving guards, Babe jackson and jack Kaney, were the scourge of many an unsuspecting opponent. Frank Booth, also, caused the opposing teams many an anxious moment from his position at center. One of the chief reasons for our team's success was the fact that Coach Pinga- tore could put in substitutes whose skill equalled that of the members of the first team. These boys, Patsy Scotti, Steve Itri, Fred Bruno, and james Vaccarelli should be considered not as mere substitutes, but as first string alternates, The real progress made this season, however, will not be measured until next winter. Getting off to a slow start, the Red Bank Court Five steadily im- proved until they were successful in beating some of the most highly- rated teams on the shore. At the Round Robin in Asbury we dropped the first game to Manaa squan, but we came back in the next two weeks to give Asbury Park a tough win and to beat Long Branch. The first regular game was with Keyport. The cagers proved them- selves in this game by defeating a highly-rated Keyport five. This win prophesied a successful season, apparent that although Red Bank seemed able to defeat teams played in rival courts, they failed to show up well on their home court. Later in the season, however, they over- came this handicap and placed very high in the shore conference. Fred Bruno, Patsy Scotti, and Steve Itri were the only three senior players that Red Bank had. Frank Booth, Red Bankls tall, lanky center, has two years left to play and should develop into one of the best centers in Red Bank's history. Wfith Ralph Coreal, XValter jack- son, and Frank De Gennaro, Red Bank, in the near future, should con- coct a winning team. Rounding out the season, the Red Bank cagers showed their 'istuff by placing fifth in the shore conference and playing in the State Tournaments. Not having quite so successful a season as the varsity, this year's junior Varsity won as many games as they lost. 1 right: lirnest Blakely, Nick Rogel, Buck Kenneth XYalker.

Under the coaches Pingatore and Phipps, Red Bank succeeded in upsetting Asbury Park and de- feating Keyport, Rumson, Leonardo, and Neptune, tying the highly-rated Manasquan eleven. Some two thousand football fans witnessed a most thrilling high school game played in the Red Bank Stadium, when a small, but hard-hitting Red Bank team defeated a heavy Asbury Park team. It was the first victory that a Red Bank team had registered over Asbury Park in twenty- two years, thus this year's football team will have had the honor of saying that they did what no other Red Bank team has done in a generation. Miniature gold footballs were presented to the first team and silver footballs to the second team at a dinner in their honor. john Biancamano, who entered the U. S. Army, was sent his gold foot- ball and his football certificate. One of the Red Bank players was selected for the all-state team, and three players were honored by having been chosen for the all-county team. Fred Bruno, Red Bank's star end, received second team honors on the all-state team and first team on the all-county team. Halfback Walter Babe jackson and Pat D'Aloia, tackle, were also placed on the all-county team. Each of the players de- serves credit for a very successful season. Peter Prominski, Red Bank's center, played in all the games. He took such a beating in the Asbury Park game that in the last few minutes he was carried from the field, Guards Oliver Bennett and Sam Gallasi, together with tackles Pat D'Aloia, john Biancamano, and Andy Zollinger, opened the holes which made it possible for the backs to score. They were also re-'ponsible for stopping the opponents in touch- down drives. Fred Bruno and Jack Kaney were both excellent pass receivers and also two of the best defensive ends among the Shore Conference teams. The backfield consisted of Babe Jackson, Leonard Pulley, Park Lamborn, jake Rue, and john Crowell. These fellows carried the ball for long gains and many a touchdown. 'Ls aint BASEBALL HOME RUN! 3 l Yes, spring is here, and baseball starts again this year in Red Bank. Boasting a fifteen-game schedule, the Red Bank Baseball Team will have ample time to prove its worth and spirit. Coach Tommy Phipps has only two regulars left over from last year, a situation which requires the teaching of seven green players to fill the remaining vacancies. Win, lose, or draw, the boys will do their best, and backed by the Red Bank fans whose spirit has been the best in many years, we are looking forward to a good season.

Under the watchful eyes of Coaches Paladino and Wilhelm, Red Bank's fleet-footed boys are out to smash records and to go down in history as one of Red Bank's greatest track teams. With senior stars such as Co-Captain Charles Desch, our star broad' jumper, Leonard Pully, ace discus and shot put throwerg Shorty Lewis and Stan Gogel, sprintersg along with younger stars such as Captain Walter Babe jackson, Bob Howard, Buck Kearny, Joe Scott, Mel Davis, Stan Patterson, John Perry, Hank Miltenberger and many other promising lads, the track team of 1944 should be the best in many a long year. It is the nrst track team in nineteen years to beat Asbury Park, Long Branch, and Neptune in the Big Four Track Meet. I Two school records were broken at Asbury at the beginning of the season. Babe jackson now holds the javelin record with a throw of 167 feet 3 U4 inches, joe Scott, ace miler, holds the new mile record of 4 minutes 50 seconds. With several meets still remaining, Red Bank is undoubtedly headed for the Shore Conference championship.

Champs! was the bat- tle cry of the Senior Girls' Basketball Team as they went ahead to win a thrilling game from their rivals, the juniors. For the past three years in high school, the girls in the Senior class have made quite an outstanding court record. During our Sophomore year, we, being the green underdogs of the school, came up from the bottom to win the championship title from the junior Class. As many great people have said, History re' peats itselff' and so it was with our girls. Our junior year brought us more glory when we again took the title from the Seniors. Although they played a masterful game, with three years' experi- ence on their side, we won. When the Class of 1943 was graduated, we found the new Sophomore Class ready to mar our record. They later were picked to be our rivals during our last year in school. They have cer- tainly lived up to their title, for they gave us a very stint work-out for the championship title this year. The play-off game was between the juniors and Seniors this year because both teams won a game from the Sophomores. The Seniors were the vic- tors by a close margin. The Senior girls take this opportunity to thank the Sophomore and junior classes, and Coach Irene Smith, who made possible these games.

GIRLS' BASEBALL This season, as in previous years, baseball was a very popular sport among the girls. In order to create interest, Mrs. Smith scheduled games not only during gym classes, but in activity periods and lunch hours as well. In this way, the girls were able to accumulate extra points for their G. R. C. awards. Teams, organized in each homeroom, competed enthusiastically toward defeating their fellow classmates, The members of the senior girls' baseball team were Viola Smith, Edna Wilson, Angie Lucisano, Jennie Tomaino, Lila Hutton, Barbara Conklin, Catherine Zwolinski, Nancy Abbott, Shirley Mason, Norma Paris, Virginia Conover, Elinor Riordan, Jessie Strode, julia Spenney, and Othello Plummer. , k' ,, Q A 'SSS as N' , 1 I Jas . .Q I f P , Q 1 ,Q X ,fist , at Y jest, Q.

In the fall of each school year the girls are out on the school playground, kicking the ball around and really making the dust fly. Teams are organized in the homerooms, thus offering strong competition to the contestants. After each homeroom has played every other one, the championship title is given to the unde- feated group of girls. This year heartiest congratulations go to Room 23, the winning soccer team.
