1 - - Editor: DOROTHY ELY Associate Editor: VIRGINIA HARRISON Business Manager: JANE SENION Faculty Adviser: STANLEY M. CARHART PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS RED BANK HIGH SCHOOL RED BANK, N. J. DEDICATION We, the class of 1945, dedicate this year book to those members of our class who are now serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. For these boys there will be no senior acti- vities, no graduating exercises; instead they will be serving their country on land, sea, and in the air. We hope that this page may show that we are thinking of them and have pride in their accomplishments. May’ God speed the day of victory so that they may be back with us soon again!

CARHART FOR HIS UNDYING INTEREST IN OUR CLASS THE CLASS OF 1945 WITH HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS THIS BOOK AND OUR MANY PROJECTS MET WITH GREAT SUCCESS 6 FOREWORD In just a little while the people, the work, and the fun we’ve known will just be memories. Although it’s hard to realize, in a few years our dreams will be realities, and our school days will be long behind us. With this in mind, we have tried to em- body all the factors that have made high school so enjoyable, and have placed them in this, our 1945 Log. So, to the class of '45, we direct the wish that you will often turn these pages and take the one road back to the four years that have been your happiest. Katherine Sickles, Secretary to Mr. Gillanf EDWIN C. GILLAND we, the Class of 1945, realize that Mr. Gilland is greatly responsible for the inner workings of our school system. Therefore, to Mr. Gilland we want to express our gratitude and appreciation for the fine ideals which he has inspired. Mildred L. Richter, Secretary tor Mr. Sieber HARRY C SIEBER Principal The success and final graduation of the Class of 1945 is because of Mr. Sieber’s splendid co-operation with the student body.

For our two leaders we choose Robert Koenig as President and Dorothy Ely as Vice President. To take care of all the correspondence, Florence Wright was choosen as Secretary. In our junior year the class had more money than the classes of previous years. With Jane Senion as head of the magazine sales, the class funds increased consider- ably. Thus the class treasurer, Concetta Fioretti, had a big job in carrying out the treasurer’s duties in our Senior year. 12 6 3H l P' LEON ADLER Addie” more I see of women, the more I believe in men.

They have boosted our school spirit by selling football tags and have also sold writing pa- per, magazines, and school pins. This is the first year that pins have been sold; consequently, everyone will now be able to wear a reminder of his school days at Red Bank. With over $1,000 in their treasury, these en- thusiastic Juniors plan to do even better next year They have already laid the groundwork for their year-book and plan to make the dummy” for it this summer. A swell Junior-Senior reception was given with the gym decorated like the big-top” and music furn- ished by George Wilhelm’s seven-piece orchestra. Much of the credit for the fine accomplishment of this class goes to its cosmopolitan president, Martha Wilson, and its efficient adviser, Miss Williams. Good luck, Juniors, and keep up the good work next year! V� 3 « 25- SOPHOMORE CLASS Having completed their first year in high school, the Sophomore class is still not fully aware of the work that lies ahead of them. During the next two years they will steadily advance toward that all important goal; to be Seniors. We know that whatever projects they under- take, throughout the next two years, will be success- ful. It is our sincere wish that you, as the class of 1947, will step forth into a happier and more peace- ful world than the classes before you. Good luck, Sophomores! May the coming years be happy and prosperous ones for all of you! 26 fc. Plt-t-kl It’s time we told you about the Log Staff the slaves with their noses to the grindstone. We wish to give our sincerest thanks to the ceaseless and untiring efforts of our ad- viser, Mr. Carhart. Without his help this yearbook could not have been published. Dot Ely and Ginny Harrison as editor and associate editor really worked getting this yearbook in on time. Jerry Applegate was given the position of chairman of the literary editors. To him fell the task of selecting class humorists, his- torians, and poets. Eeh—top to bottom.

To the chairman of the Activities Commit tee, Peggy Bergman, fell the duties of seeing that all clubs and special curricular activities were written up. The To Whom Was Who Going To Leave What” was left to Ginny Doolittle. Poor girl she went mad trying to see every- one. Ellen Martin and Norma Sherman really worked to get everyone in the Phrophecy. Johnny Pohl did a grand piece of work taking and developing the pictures you find in this book. To Lucy Nesci and her typing committee we give our thanks. Let us not forget Jane Senion, the business manager. To her fell all the financial and business worries of the Log. Last but not least Dot Strasburger, head of the art staff, got together with her com- mittee and produced the excellent drawings in this book. It is the Staff’s wish that its efforts will be compensated through the enthusiasm of each student over his copy of the Log.” 29 Standing, left to right: Maydawn DeVoe, Elizabeth Hard- wick, Robert Koenig, Marvin Richeal, Ann Wellner, Mr. Pazicky, Ann Bruno, Barbara Strauss, Craig Lewis, Donald Ganson.

STUDENT Mr. Pazicky, Adviser COUNCIL The Student Council of 1944 and 1945 consisted of sixteen members, plus three members at large. The officers were as fol- lows: President, William White; Vice Presi- dent, Ralph Marino; Secretary, Elizabeth Conover, Corresponding Secretary, Lorraine Holiday; Treasurer, Jane Senion. During the school year the- council has given two school dances without any thought ot profit and wholly for the pleasure of the students, and have sold war stamps and Bonds once a week. Some of the members attended meetings at Rumson and Long Branch and a conven- tion at New Jersey College for Women in New Brunswick in order to obtain new ideas for student government. Atlantic Highlands Student Council visited Red Bank for the same purpose. The 1945 Student Council will be remem- bered for the memorial placque which they bought with money from the treasury. The placque will be placed in one of the halls and will have the names of all the boys from our school who have been killed in action. 30 Standing (left to right) : Tony Baldassari, William Figaro, Frank Talerico, Ann Bruno, Connie Bowen, Yolanda Jones, Suzanne Siman, Anne Lois Iieiser, Dolores Lapidus, Annie CURTAIN GOING UP!

To the Masquers we should give thanks for many enjoyable moments in assembly. Pro- grams, dramas, comedies, and even classics are presented to the students by this talented group. Emotions, pantomine, and facial ex- pressions are some of the methods which the actors and actresses, in the bud, try to master and convey to their audience. This group is under the direction of Mrs. B. D. Kane. To her the members owe a great deal of thanks for her pains and trou- bles not only as directoress, but as chaperon for many trips to New York. There they viewed the renown and famed. In past years the masquers have visited New York and have spoken to many famous actors and actresses. Among those are Boris Karloff, Helen Hayes, the cast of Life with Father,” and in the near future they shall present to Miss Evelyn Wykoff an orchid, after seeing her act in the musical, Okla- homa!” 31 BAND Top Row (left to right) : Shirley Simms, Bob Burns, Marvin Richeal, Hobart Lewis, Eddie Cloth, William Pelligreno, George Baker, Bill Burnhardt, Bob Becker.

Bob Lauber and Ruth Outwater headed organization. They took great pride in their work at the football games and numerous victory marches throughout Red Bank, too. Other events were playing at a War Bond Rally in the Carlton Theatre, where $30,000 was raised in one hour; playing for the Boy Scouts, Court of Honor; the annual spring Concert for the Rotary Club; and the senior graduation program. Eddie Jones, bass, made the All-State High School Band and played in several symphonic Concerts in Northern Jersey with the states best young musicians. Foster Spinning, first trombone, was named first alternate to the All-State Band. A dozen new uniform parts were added to the band wardrobe. The 1945-46 season should see an even better appearing group. The school now owns a variety of instru- ments, available for loan to those students wishing to study music.

Someone is saying Who had a date with Johnny Saturday night?” Will the meeting please come to order?” After shouting about ten times for the girls to come to order, Pat Bowen proceeds. Pat, as president, has done a wonderful job. Lei Peters, treasurer, is greedily counting the pen- nies she has received by begging. Flo Wright is the vice president, and Phil Munson is the secretary. The club has given many dances at the Y,” all of which were successful. Through their four years together, the members have given cake sales, a card party, a hay-ride, and parties for themselves. The girls have also done services for the community, such as giving baskets of food for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year the girls won the Y. M. C. A. basketball tournament for girls. After meetings the girls congregated at the Nut House.” Someone is again saying as they enter, Who had a date with Johnny last Saturday night?” Top row (left to right) Carol Mathiasen, Virginia Harrison, Bottom row Ruth Outwater, Dot Ely, Elaine Ihman, Virginia Frances Dix, Barbara Bergen, Pat Bowen, Phil Munson, Doolittle, Barbara Doremus, Peggy Bergman, Flo Wright.

The Secretarial club consists of approxi- mately twenty people. It elaborates on sub- jects particularly pertaining to dressing, eti- quette, manners, and other things necessary for one to become a good secretary. Each girl in the club has sent away for articles such as Manners,” How to Lose Weight,” Date,” How to Dress,” Makeup,” and others which could be discussed to the ad- vantage of girls seeking commercial careers. With the help of Miss Cheress, they have accomplished many things in the Secretarial Club. JOURNALISM CLASS Fifth period each day is devoted to the journalism class under the leadership of Prof. Donald Klopp. The members of this class are extremely interested in the fundamentals of journalism and they write and criticize their own articles. Every week the Red Bank Register pub- lishes a column or so containing articles writ- ten by the members of the journalism class. These articles are of interest both to the public and to the student body. Eventually, these people hope to become Walter Win- chells, Jimmy Fidlers, Dorothy Thompsons, or some one equally as famous. We, of the Fed Bank High School, are certain that they will make a name for themselves in the world of tomorrow. 34 Standing (left to right) Arlene Palmer, June Sims, Vivian Wright, Betty Tice, Edna Frost, Theresa Scaracamazza, Bob Tauber.

This sym- bolizes the spirit of this year’s Pan-American Club. Mr. Paladino is supervisor of the club, Amanda Strasburger, president, and Leroy Barnard, seretary. The Fifteen members desire to obtain a better understanding of the Central and South American countries. Interesting arti- cles and booklets about our neighbors have been made available to the members by Mr. Paladino for this purpose. Beside the regular sessions for singing Latin American songs and discussing current news of our good neighbors, simple Portu- guese expressions are being taught. Yes, it is hands across the border for our future diplomats. They are assuring us a stable future Pan-American policy.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais is open to any student taking French. Inasmuch as the majority of the members are first year students of French, Miss Leonora Hodgdon, adviser of the club, has insisted that the conversation be in French as much as possible. The officers are Gail Garrison, president; Virginia Brasefield, vice president; and Mari- lyn Moore, secretary. The club’s purpose is to acquire a greater sense of appreciation of French. An entertainment committee, headed by Nancy Brasch, plans programs consisting of games and songs which are given when the club meets once a week. From these pro- grams the members may enjoy themselves and become more fluent in the language they like so well. 35 Back row, left to right: Alice Scott, Miss Ranghans, Rois Kravatz, Jane Staldberg, Mary Swehzer, George Rose.

ART GUILD The purpose of the Art Guild is to enable those who are artistically inclined to increase their skill in whatever field of art they choose. There are many activities which the guild has done through the year, such as ad- vertizing games, dances, bond sales, and va- rious other activities. Different kinds of art are carried on in the guild, such as painting, sketching, designing, and making murals. This year under the direction of Miss Langhans, the guild has made posters for Y. M. C. A. activities, teen age canteen activities and the school Hand Book. They also made the scenery for a few assembly programs. The Art Guild has contests in which cash prizes are awarded to the winners. ART APPRECIATION CLUB Patricia Poxon is president and Carolyn Van Schoick is secretary of the newly organ- ized Art Appreciation club of which Miss Leola Robinson is adviser. The purpose of the club is to develop the capacity to enjoy beauty by making its mem- bers conscious of the beauty he sees in his surroundings and in the works of master craftmen and artists. Miss Robinson is giving the club a brief study in the principles of design as artists have applied it to painting, sculptors to sculp- ture, and architects to architecture. This semester’s schedule will also include a de- tailed study of clothing and the works of the greatest artists. 36 Standing, left to right: Virginia MacCloud, Zoe Mastersan, Frances Frangelli, Pauline Graff, Kleanthy Morris.

Being travelers they decided to see first the beauty and garden spots of the good old U.S.A. A very patriotic gesture. Of course, this traveling was not done in a cross country coach, for the State Laws pertaining to ab- senteeism would not allow the students to be excused from school for so long a time, and for just a club activity. Any way, through imagination, pictures, magazine articles, mo- vies, and speakers, these students were able to cross the country and visit Niagara Falls. Colorado Canyon, Brice Canyon, Yosemite and Los Angeles. They are now on the re- bound and are traveling southward. At this time they have stopped in New Mexico to view the wondrous sights there. To this grooup we can only say Bon Voyage.” . Standing (left to right) Doris Gero, Elua Madison, Gerald- ine Housechild, Elizabeth Whitaker, Jeanne Godfrey, Pat Uaux, Anna Williams, Jean Olsen.

THE SCRIBBLERS' CLUB Miss Mary Margaret Rice created a new type of club this year in the organization of the Scribblers’ Club. The charter Scribblers, headed by Pat Moran, were delighted to find a club where they could enjoy themselves and also utilize every minute. The club’s main purposes are to write let- ters to our boys in the service and to circu- late their addresses so that they may be well informed as to the news of their Alma Mater. Each member writes to whomever he wish- es and about whatever he wishes as Miss Rice has insured them that there will be no censorship. 37 Standing (left to right) Robert Kaplan, Richard Tetley, Foster Spinning.

THE POPULAR MUSIC CLUB Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar” and Scrub Me Mamma with a Boogie Beat” are the type of songs that the Popular Music Club concentrates on. Under the able direc- tion of Mr. Klopp the club is now ending its’ first year. The three B’s, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, have been under study for many years; therefore, Mr. Klopp decided it would be nice to study the popular music of today. The club was so successful, and the mem- bers were so enthused by their new club that the club will continue next year. DANCING CLUB Under the direction of Mrs. Smith and Mr. Phipps the dancing club, started for the first time this year, began a very promising season. The objective of this club was to teach the students to cut a rug. Maybe they couldn’t cut a rug, but they could at the end of the year, dance to slow pieces. The fellows and girls really enjoyed this club, for it gave them the opportunity to feel at ease on the dance floor. We hope that this club will continue next year, as we feel that it is something th t every young boy and girl needs.

BOYS' SPORTS CLUB Under the direction of Thomas Phipps, assistant coach of Red Bank High School, the Boys’ Sports Club meets weekly, in order to participate in the sports of the season. There has been great interest in this club, as shown by the large membership. The main purpose of the club is to teach the boys the rules of the various sports, to talk about the fundamentals of the different games, and to attempt to develop an interest in and support of the school athletics. This club offers an opportunity for those boys who are not actual participants in sports to learn more about them. GIRLS' SPORTS CLUB The Girls’ Sports Club under the direction of Mrs. Irene Smith is composed of fifty or more girls, girls who are bubbling over with life and energy (more leisure time you know, due to the acute man-power shortage). The girls’ goal is to acquire skill in their sports along with having fun. Many good and well needed referees have resulted from instruction in rules and plays. The club deserves credit for keeping its members in good condition and also for broadening extra-curricular activities. The officers are: Pat Ruddy, president, and Marporie Recinelle, secretary. 39 Standing, left to right: Elaine Inman, Elizabeth Conover, Elizabeth Hardwick, Marie Caruso, Mrs. Smith.

OFFICERS Left to right: Jean Bergman, Vice President Mrs. Irene Smith, Adviser Sally Lees, President Lucy Nesci, Assistant Recorder REFEREES CLUB Blow that whistle,” yells someone. That’s a technical foul on you, charg- ing.” With that the other side gets a free shot.” Without the referees club the girls would not have been able to play basketball during the activity period. Under the able direction of Mrs. Irene Smith the girls had rules drilled into their heads, well, practically drilled into their heads. The girls really enjoy officiating. Some of the girls refereed at games at the Y” and other schools. We hope that next year the club continues, as we are always in need of a good referee. G. R. C. The G. R. C. is under the direction of Mrs. Smith, girls’ Gym Instructor. This club is for the benefit of the many athletic girls interest- ed in sports. Practically all of the Red Bank Senior High School girls belong to this club for it holds a number of attractions. Each girl can partake in any of the sports. Her sport’s record is kept by the G. R. C. recorder and at the end of each term the points are totaled, and if the girl has accumulated 1000 points she may receive a maroon shield. The more points one has the better the award. If a girl has as many as 1500 points she may receive the highest award, a gold R.” This club develops in the girls the ability to be good sports when the odds are against them, and shows how to be a good winner. 40 Top row (left to right) Dan Cohn, Charles Papier, Tommy Davis, Jerry Johnson, William Rupp. Middle row: Phyllis Amorello, Jerry Applegate, George Binaco, Mary Toscano, Catherine Delorenzo.

LUCKY STRIKES Set ’em up,” It’s a strike,” or Give me a spare” are phrases you will find only at a bowling alley. More students turned out for bowling this year than ever before. There were fifty-four students in all. This is one sport in which the girls can be just as good or better than the boys. The fellows may snicker 'and sneer at a girl having three strikes in baseball, but these same feh lows will stand with their mouths open at the same girl having three strikes on a bow- ling alley. The president of the Bowling Club is John Salatino and the recorder is Clara Stryker. Alice Belknap and John Salatino, a close second, are the high scorers among the bow- lers. The club ended a very successful year in the middle of March. 41 Back row, left to right: Henry Miltenberger, Bob Howard, Morris Ruda, John Mutacio, Harry Clayton, Mr. Best.

DOT, DOT, DOT, DASH The Radio Course which entered our school for the first time last year, due to the Pre-Induction Courses, has been found to be very useful to the students leaving for the Armed Services. The object of this course is to teach our boys the fundamentals of Radio. The pupils construct simple circuits and advance through the year until they are capable of constructing three and four tube sets. The pre-induction subject has, without a doubt, found a new home in our school. AUTOMOTIVES This course was brought to the Red Bank High School last year due to the Pre-induc- tion Courses. It has been found to be very useful for the students that have entered the Armed Services. The purpose of this course is to teach the fundamentals of Automotives. The students this year have learned the many reasons for automobiles stopping on the road. The boys have learned how to find automotive trouble and how to go about doing almost any job on the automobile. Automotives has been found to be so use- ful and interesting to the boys that it will probably be in our school permanently. 42 Back row, left to right: Edwin Morris, John Mattocia, Fred Strauss, Frank Merritt, Bert Bulkin, Rarry Hammell, Rich- ard Rockwell.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club of Red Bank High School has again completed one of the most active seasons of any club in the school. The club, under the supervision of Mr. Anthony Trufolo, has covered all of Red Bank’s sports and socials for the school. The club, to- gether with Doc” Trufolo, has taken pic- tures of all of the football games, basketball games, and track events. They have also taken many pictures for the yearbook. Be- sides sports pictures, almost all of the mem- bers of the club develope and print their own pictures. In the many club meetings, members were taught the many different phases of photo- graphy. This includes both the art of taking pictures correctly and the developing r and printing of them..

Now if you want a big flash this is the way to do it.” At the end of this speech the president, Peggy Bergman, has the lab in flames. Betty Randal, secretary, yells, Make a fire extinguisher quick!” Finally the fire is put out. Organized for the first time, the Chemistry Club has proven very helpful to all its mem- bers The many sophomores who have not had chemistry find it helpful to review pro- blems that might come forth in a future exam.

That’s the way the Monday session of the Bridge Club gets off to a good start. Under the direction of Miss Margaret Thompson, seven tables of bridge have been formed. The fundamentals of playing con- tract bridge and scoring have been taught. By practical experience in playing once a week, the members are slowly but surely be- coming proficient. Much of the credit for this, however, belongs to our members who are experts for their patience and coaching.

Skakandy, has just completed one of the most active and suc- cessful seasons it has ever had. The main purpose of this club is to instill into every member the love of the outdoors, and, above all, an appreciation of good, clean, sports- manship. During the year the club has been very fortunate in having the privilege of hearing many authorities on subjects that are of in- terest to each and every member. Besides this, the members were entertained by movies dealing with subjects of interest. A most important event on the club’s cal- endar was the event when the members had as their guest an expert on the firearms of the present war. During one of these visits the use of Army weapons was shown and explained to the members. 44 CLASS PROPHECY by Ellen Martin and Norma Sherman Out of the fog and into the night, as we gaze into our mentally obscure crystal ball, we are able to probe into the future of our Class of 1945. The world is at peace once again, and we see our fellow grads happily engaged in the lives they have chosen. As the mist disappears from the crystal ball, the vision of an illuminous theatre marquee reflects the name of Tony Baldasari, prominent New York stage actor, who is co-starring with Gloria Valenti in the smash-hit, Angels Fear To Tread, directed by Howard Ungerer, with costumes by the famous designer Dot Rowe, and coiffures by Clara Stryker. Sponsors for the play are the millionaire playboys, Hank Miltenberger and Norman Cole-Hatchard. In the enthralled audience are Commander Addison Davidson, U.S.N.; Fred Strauss, electrical engineer; and Colonel Richard Wiggins. Also enjoying the performance are the lifetime friends, Robert Lauber and Leroy Barnard, who are both well on the way to success in agriculture and science respectively. As the curtain falls, our surveyor of the future grows hazy but clear once more as its mystic rays light upon Dreamland, a night club owned by the big-time operators Ray Coreale and Bob Quakenbush. Dancing to the rhythm of Jimmy Plummer’s orches- tra, featuring George Darraugh and Alan Jeter on the sax, and the former Ruth Outwater and husband, circuit judge of Monmouth County, and Gloria Moore with the master of her house. Charlie Jr. is sleeping peacefully at home. Looking blissfully at each other over a table, we see Carol Mathiasen and her Bob. They are speaking of the debuts of Verona Pulley and Marie Mazza at the Metropolitan. Our swirling prophet floats over the skyscrapers and descends upon the Jane Senion Publishing House. Waiting to see Ellen Martin, director of the Approval Department, her first heart-warming novel. Secretaries for the firm include Lucy Nesci, Nancy Laurino, Gloria Cook, May Lukoic, Lois Kennedy, and Mary Phillips. Jimmy Soden, general manager, who by the way is still trying to make his second million, is inter- viewing commercial artists Dot Strasburger, Virginia Osborn, and Carolyn Van Schoick, while Dot Ely and Lei Peters are making plans to redecorate the Senion offices. The scene changes to the suburbs of the city, and we catch a glimpse of Grace Woodhead and Barbara Bergen’s exclusive kindergarten. Nearby we glance upon P. S. 1955 of which Dr. Robert Koenig is principal with Doris Van Note as his stenog- rapher. The faculty members include Amanda Strasburger, Gertrude Wingo, Betty Ann Giloly, Nick Costa, librarian Teresa Scaricamazza, and music teacher Bernice Williams. This up-to-date school has a swimming pool at which Alice Belknap is instructress. Fog comes to the magic globe. No! it’s steam—a train—bound for good ole Red Bank. Virginia Harrison, Editor of the Register, is utilizing every minute on the trip by interviewing Marilyn Newman and Norma Sherman who have just returned from a sojourn to South America where they have been on a Good Will tour. Meeting them at the station the next morning are Register photographers, Emma Ask and John Pohl, and head secretary of the paper’s staff, Ginny Doolittle. Prominent commuters seen at the depot are Mile. Frances Dix, accomplished pianist; Patricia Moran, Spanish interpreter; Claire Niehaus, decorative florist; Elizabeth Conover, blender of rare per- fumes; and Bob Howard, Chief adviser of Pretty Girls. We are subconsciously led to Front Street where Harold Ides’s stationery store comes into view. Inside we see Elva Madison, stenographer; Bessie Heard and Ethel Motley, beauticians; and Carrie McCall, nurse; the girls are recalling old times. Gossip- ing over their strawberry sodas are Frances Greco, secretary, and Palmyra Dal Pra, who has her two youngsters with her. Our mystic ball shows us that there is a successful grocery store next door which is owned by Bob Clark and Bill Germanario. Upon entering the store, our eyes fall upon the former Helen Bennett, who married the Johnny” she was always speaking of in school, Helen Ferrant, who married a Second Louie,” and also, Alice Clark and Evelyn Dozier, both of whom are married to former Navy Men. The young matrons are talking about the brilliant chemists, Peggy Bergman and Barbara Millar, who have made Red Bank citizens proud of them. Leaving the girls to their shopping, we see, standing in the corner smoking, Jerry Applegate, a second Roy Rogers; Frank Verange, manager of the Strand Theatre; and Eddie Weinstein, famed mathematician. Our globe now reflects Broad Street Joe Scott, engineer, can be seen sauntering past Swannett’s Cigar Store, while entering the Caramel are Doris Shibla, drafting in- structress, and Georgiana Clayton, manager of Young’s Pharmacy. Seated in one of the booths are Admiral Samuel Costa; John Mattoccio, radio engineer; and Edwin Morris, President of the National Chamber of Commerce. We are not surprised when our magical surveyor entices us back to our Alma Mater. Through the mist faces appear which are familiar to us; now, however, they are not students, but teachers. These faculty members include Mildred Marmelstein, sixth grade; Bruno Talerico, physical education; Charles Crouch, commercial law; Richard Slocum, radio. Professional athletes visiting the school are Max Ravndal and Frank De Gennaro, who are joint owners of the New York Yankees. On a vacation from her duties at the White House, we meet secretary Elaine Inman talking to Frank Mazzucca and Bill Thompson, special investigators, who also work in the nation’s captitol and are home for a rest. Now, very abruptly, the crystal ball darkens, and we seem to leave R.B.H.S. No! we are still there. The school is now so modern that we did not recognize various rooms and labs. There is a complete telephone service with Minerva Nucci as head operator and a broadcasting system of which Barbara Rowe is announcer. The faint sound of gay music reaches our ears. It’s louder now. Oh! how we wish we could And its source! Our faithful surveyor of the future grants our desire and—lo we are at a faredell party for Caroline Pritchard, R.N., who will leave for Russia tomorrow. Remember how she always wanted to go there! She will travel in a plane which is to be piloted by Pat Poxon, renowned aviatrix. The party is in full swing and we are meeting i number of old friends. There’s the former Pat Bowen; she’s describing her glamorous honeymoon in South America from which she has just returned. Concetta Fioretti is telling us of the trials and tribulations of managing the prospering Shrewsbury Farm Market. Over in the corner, we see Judge John V. Crowell Jr., who is still looking into a certain blonde’s eyes. The life of the party” is Florence Babe” Wright, who has retained her exuberant personality along with being a good wife and a successful business woman. Recalling dances at the Y” are Barbara Doremus, who is working for the Merchant’s Trust, and Bill White, who is strictly a family man now, with his charming wife. Donnie Ganson, electrical engineer, is describing his present project to Angie Danieles, superintendent of nurses at Monmouth Memorial Hospital; Judy Finelli, a newly wed; and Gerrie Houschild, window decorator. Frank Ravndal, Hollywood talent scout, is bidding every- one good-night as she has to catch a train for antoher part of the country where he will contact Phil Munson, who is still trying to get out of college. His purpose in going is ro persuade her to leave college fo a promising career at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Mist gathers, filmy clouds assemble, perception of visions darkens, and our crystal ball becomes merely a fascinating object, which, in its own way, has forecasting powers for only those who have faith. For us, it has depicted a glowing and successful future for the Class of 1945. JUNIOR MISS (Senior Play) Directed by MISS MARGARET H.

CLASS HISTORY Way back in the early ’30’s we, the class of ’45, began our school days, and needless to say, 1945 seemed a long way off; but now that we have reached that year, we realize that the time has passed much too quickly. We shall, however, remember those younger days when everything went happy go lucky for everyone; but upon reaching high school, we found that we were faced with the tremendous task of planning for the future in a serious manner: our senior year, the furtherance of our education, our life work, and above all how to establish ourselves in this big world of today. In our Sophomore year, with Mr. Carhart as our adviser, we ventured upon our first money making propositions, selling Christmas Cards and wrapping paper, which started the building of our treasury. As Juniors, we truly made ourselves known when we defeated our upper classmen as well as the lower classmen in a competitive Magazine subscription drive in the senior high school. In the Spring, having enough money in our treasury, we gave the seniors a reception which proved to be a great success. Finally 1944 came and we became Seniors', Seniors at last. We had many things in store for our final and eventful year; so we began right away with electing our class officers and planning our year’s activities. At the football games we sold candy as a starter which was followed by the selling of Magazines and Christmas Cards. These three projects wound up our ’44 money raising campaigns. In February, we lost the members of our mid-year class of ’45. Immediately follow- ing, plans and rehearsals began for our Senior play, Junior Miss,’’ which turned out to be a smash hit performance.” Much credit was due to the director, Miss Margaret Thompson, and the excellent Senior cast. In the Spring, the juniors honored us with a grand reception which was enjoyed by all.1 We have now reached the end of our high school trail, and looking back we can see many a good time along the way, also the useful knowledge that we can have gained as we went along. This balanced training will stand us in good stead in the world that lies ahead. iCaat Hill anil ©patamant We, the graduating class of 1945, our final departure from R. B. H.

Seated: Mr. Trufolo, TRAFFIC There is one definite advantage in being on the Traffic Patrol, which is that a few minutes of every period -are chopped off for the members. They leave the classrooms just a few minutes early and go to their various strategic positions to control the traffic.” Maybe the word traffic doesn’t seem to be suited to the passing of classes, but then PATROL again maybe it does. The Patrol has accom- plished a lot in that the traffic” has been slowed down, the students have been kept to the right, and pushing, shoving, and run- ning has been stopped. It is now much safer for a poor pedestrian” in the midst of the traffic.” 56 CHEERLEADERS — Hl f HIP! Bubbling with vitality, nine girls Sjep onto the athletic field and lead the th ands gathered there to cheer our Bucs.” Not only in football but in basketball, as well. Rhythm, vitality, and body and mind co-ordi- nation is what is expected of our cheer- leaders, and these qualities are in each and everone of them. Mrs. Smith instructs these girls and acts as advisor to the group. Mrs. Smith accepts no half-way accomplishments; therefore, the girls have meetings in which they practice till cheers are perfected. The cheerleading squad is as follows: ' Florence Wright, captain; Pat Farrell, Lor- raine Holiday, Lois Macintosh, Rose Phillips.’ Dot Ely, Sally Lees, Ruth Brose, and Barbara Doremus.

In sub-zero and above zero weather our majorettes may be found stepping and twirl- ing down any athletic field when the Red Bank Biicaneers are meeting their opponents. Skirts swirling, batons twirling, and smiles glistening—these are the things our team sees and likes to see. White satin flashing, white boots raised, our majorettes are always ready for action. The members of the squad are as follows: Ruth Outwater, head majorette; Lei Peters, Pat Bowen, Dolores Buzbee, Phyllis Munson, Theresa Gettis, Genevieve Babbitt, Corrine Adler, Dot Groves, Joanne Dunbar, Barbara Bel, Allinette Quimby, and Jean Foster. To these girls many give praise, but there is always one question in the minds of on- lookers, who are bundled up to their necks and down to their toes. Don’t they feel cold with short satin skirts and thin satin jackets, especially in chilly November?” 59 FOOTBALL The Red Bank Buccaneers climaxed a suc- cessful season by defeating their traditional rivals, Long Branch, and placing third in an exciting Shore Conference race. Under the skillful direction of Coaches Frank Pingatore and Tommy Phipps, the Bucs, with only three veterans, Pat D’Aloia, Johnnie Crowell, and Jack Kaney returning from last year’s championship team, succeeded in defeating Manasquan, Rumson, Neptune, Keyport, and Long Branch, losing only to Leonardo and Asbury Park. Four thousand fans cheered Red Bank to victory as the Bucs came from behind in the final quarter to upset Long Branch, 7-6, in the annual turkey day classic. Red Bank’s star end, Jack Kaney, hard- hitting guard, Tony Caprioni, and plunging full back, Jim Vaccarelli, were honored by being placed on the All-County First Team. Bart Gallager, teamed with the four inter- 60 changable guards, Max Ravndal, Tony Capri- oni, Ralph Marino and Bill White, played brilliantly on defense and offense. Joe Scott and Pat D’Aloia at tackles, coupled with Jack Kaney, Jim Soden, and Frank Booth at ends, were a terror to rival backfields. In the back field, quarter back position was held down by Joe Murdico, ace blocking back and Bruno Talarico, whose educated toe pulled the team out of many tight situations. Half back slots, which featured brilliant pass- ing and running, were filled by Johnnie Crowell, last year’s converted full back, and Chick Murray, diminutive Buc, play caller. Jim Vaccarelli well earned his nickname, Jolting Jim,” by hitting the center for many yards. Backfield subs, Ray Coreale and Frank Ravndal did yeoman work when called upon. Seniors on the squad were Jim Soden, Joe Scott, Max Ravndal, Bill White, Pat D’Aloia, Johnnie Crowell, Bruno Talarico, Frank Ravndal, Ray Coreale, Nick Costa, Buck Kearney, Allan Jeter, Tony Baldarsari, Mel- vin Davis, and John Perry. We hope and trust that the succeeding Red Bank football team wits its large group of experienced juniors and sophomores will be- come champions. We’re rootin’ for ya! 61 VARSITY BASKETBALL Under the expert leadership of coaches Frank Pingatore and Stanley Carhart, Red Bank produced one of the finest basketball teams in the history of the school. Beginning with an upset of Asbury Park for the first time in nearly thirty years, Red Bank went on to gain many deserving honors. Three letter men, Frank Booth, Ray Co- reale, and Frank DeGennaro, formed the nucleus of this mighty squad. With the aid of such experienced players as Ralph Maz- zacca, Jim Vaccarelli, Bob Scott, Tony Iaca- pino, Ted Murphy, Max Ravendal, Nick Rogel, Mario Tomaino, and Joe Scott to fill in the other two position, it was not too diffi- cult for Mr. Pingatore to mold a truly great team. The Junior Varsity Basketball Squad also did very well during the season. The boys, that have played throughout the year, have gained much valuable experience which in time will enable them to become as proficient as some of the players which made up the excellent 1944-1945 Varsity Basketball Team.

GIRLS BASKETBALL The most popular sport of the year is basketball. More girls turn out for this sport than for any other. There are class teams and homeroom teams. Our Junior and Senior class teams met and played Neptune, Leonardo, and Asbury Park. The homeroom teams play each other during the activity period. At the close of the season, the class teams played to determine the championship, which was won by the seniors. c V 65 Play ball! With the arrival of spring out will come bats, balls, gloves, and what have you in preparation for a successful season in baseball. Red Bank with a 15-game schedule will have plenty of time to prove its ability on the diamond. Coaches Tommy Phipps and Stanley Carhart have returning Bob Scott and Johnnie Crowell, two year veterans along with Ralph Mazzucca, Frankie Booth, Chick” Vacarelli, and Bruno Talarico, last year’s regulars. These six boys will form the nucleus of the team along with some up and coming sophomores and juniors. Win or lose, the team will do its best, and with a spirited backing by the Red Bank fans, we will see many an exciting game at the West Bergen field. TRACK Now that spring has arrived the sound of spiked feet and panting boys will soon be on the local athletic field again. Coaches Chester Wilhelm and William Pazicky will have, returning from last year’s championship team, which won over all opposition, seniors Joe Scott, ace miler, Buck Kearney, speedy dash star, Hank Miltenberger, broad jump and high hurdle man, Nick Costa, vaulter, and Frank Ravndal, along with juniors and sophomores Dick Rockwell, Danny Cohen, ’'Peanut” Wilson, Harry Schmidt, Walt Ben- nett, Albie Jones, and Bert Bulkin. These boys, along with some promising freshman, will form the backbone of the team. The schedule for the season of 1945 will be as follows: its’ heels to opposing trackmen and go on to Let’s hope that Red Bank will really show achieve greater success in track competition than ever before. 67 OUR ALMA MATER Red Bank High Our Alma Mater ’Tis to thee we sing Songs which grateful hearts would render Songs which praises sing.
