Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1949 volume:

In appreciation of his capable supervision of our educational development, his sympathetic interest in our school activities, and, above all, in acknowledgement of his many years of service to the students of Red Bank High School, the Class of 1949 respectfully dedicates the eleventh edition of The Log to Mr. Edwin C. Gilland. 5 TO MRS. RUTH KING The Senior Class expresses thanks to Mrs. Ruth King, un- der whose guiding hand we reached the climax of high school life. Acting as our class adviser, she has made fun out of the tedious work necessary for many of our activities. She has won the admiration and respect of each member of the class, not only because of the ener- getic and willing way in which she planned, organiz- ed and supervised our cam- paigns and dances, but also because of her friendly and understanding personality. And so the class extends to Mrs. King genuine and heart- felt appreciation. 6 A 13 K± I 1ST I T R_ A. T I O BOARD OF EDUCATION 8 Mr. Paul Young District Clerk EDWIN C.

ANTHONY TRUFOLQ . Physics, Safety and Driving MR. WILLIS SISSON Director Guidance Department The second year of organized guidance in Red Bank High School has revealed pronounced progress in three directions. Essential to any guidance is the acguisition of complete and accurate information about the abili- ties, interests, and accomplishments of all individ- uals. A comprehensive testing program has now become a reality. Steps are well underway to revise the forms on which all types of personnel data are recorded and to provide for more complete entries. Information about individuals which gathers dust in office files is of little value. The past year every pupil in the high school has met with a teacher- counselor from two to four times. Five teacher-coun- selors, Miss Deckert, Mrs. King, Mr. Paladino, Mr. Best, and Miss Thompson, have aided the pupils in curriculum, vocational and personal decisions, mak- ing use of the information available about each indi- vidual. To reach every pupil with vital information about jobs, scholarships, college data, and other important facts, a group guidance program made its beginning this year. All pupils, grouped on the basis of inter- ests, have met twice weekly under the competent leadership of all the classroom teachers in the high school to consider guidance problems of common interest.

In her senior year she was elected by her class as president of G. R. C. ALLENE WRIGHT Allene's personality has made her a favorite among her immediate group of friends. A smiling face, a quiet disposition, and will- ingness to listen to jokes, which are never new to her, are only a few of the many qualities she possesses. ROBERT WILSON Bob has a dual personality. In school he is so-o-o quiet, but with his teammates he's full of fun. As evidence of his love for sports, one need only to inquire who was one of the stars of the football team. Bob has earned the admiration and respect of us all. MIRIAM WINDNAGLE For a swell girl, we have al- ways turned to our Miriam. We will miss Miriam's ready wit and twinkling eyes, her sharp clothes, but most of all, we'll miss her ever- ready smile. Good luck, Miriam.

CLEMENT JABLONSKY Adviser CHARLES PATTERSON Treasurer PAT BENNETT Secretary CAROLYN SINDLINGER Business Manager Assistant Business Manager 32 Although unorganized until their third year in Senior High, the Juniors soon showed that they possessed commendable spirit. Mr. Clem- ent Jablonsky was appointed to act as their class adviser and a class meeting was con- ducted to organize the group. Richard Wolf was elected president; Stanley Gilbertson, vice- president; Patricia Bennett, secretary; Charles Patterson, treasurer; Carolyn Sindlinger, busi- ness manager; and Zeau Conover, assistant business manager. Campaigns were soon conducted to build up a treasury. Magazine subscriptions, football tags. Tommy Touchdown pins, Christmas Cards and wrappings, stationery and basket- ball pins were sold in this pursuit. Class rings were purchased and, in the spring the Juniors entertained the Seniors with the Junior Senior Reception. 33 In September, 1947, the present Sophomore Class entered the Red Bank Junior High School. After spending half of the year getting acquaint- ed with one another, the class elected the follow- ing officers: William Sherwood, President; Mari- lyn Lowenberg, Vice-president; Myrna Stalberg, Secretary; and Terry Doremus, Treasurer. Mrs. Agnes Oakley and Mr. Ross E. Wylie were elected class advisers. Under the direction of Mrs. Vera Davies, the Journalism Club printed Junior High Jinx , the Junior High School paper. Two issues were published: one at Christmas, the other for the June graduation. A dance was given for the entire graduating class in May. The theme of decoration was a Chinese scene with lanterns and silhouettes on the walls. Several members of the Freshman Class supplied the entertainment which scored quite a success. The graduation to the Senior High was held on June 17, 1948. We gave a play called, Life with Bobby Sox , directed by the pupils. Last year three Freshman girls were chosen cheerleaders: Christine Church, Rosa Lee Roth, and Katherine Hamlet. Barbara Berger was chosen as a substitute majorette. This year, Sophomore Class meetings were not held; and, therefore, no plans for social activities were made for the year. Next year when the Sophomore Class become Juniors, they will try their best to be one of the best Junior Classes Red Bank High School has ever had. 34 35 THE As soon as the fall term had started, there were heard echoing through the Senior building such remarks as: What are we going to name the yearbook? ; What design shall we sub- mit? ; and Who will be on the staff? Finally, about two weeks later there appeared this no- tice: All those interested in working on the yearbook report to the gym activity period. Forty-six eager seniors answered the call and from them were elected the following officers: Editor, Ralph Acerra; Associate Editors, Adel- aide Hoyt and Ilse Glavey; Business Manager, Dean Haviland; Layout Editor, Santa DiMaio; Art Editor, Dorothy Kerr; Sports Editors, Dorothy Carter and Howard Kennedy; and Literary Edi- tor, Marian Wallace. Soon the literary, layout, and art staffs were hard at work trying to get the first thirty pages of the yearbook to the publisher by December 36 LOG STAFF 15th. Mr. Rue was busily taking the formal portraits, while Gail Rassas and her faithful crew were doing Senior writeups. If it weren't for Marian Wallace's unceasing and repeated demands of Where's your writeup? Get it in, we have a deadline to meet! and her driving force, the literary deadlines might never have been realized. From the time the officers of the staff were elected, they reported faithfully everyday to Mrs. King's room for orders, such as: Get that art work in. Did you make the schedule for the pictures yet? What about the prophecy? When do you think you're going to get this book pub- lished? All duties were willingly executed by the staff because they realized that great effort was going into the publication of the book. At last the diligent staff sat back in Room 6 and breathed a sigh of relief—The Yearbook's gone to press. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, under the guidance of Miss LaWall, was organized as a regular club which met in the library every Wednesday. The officers that served during the past year were President, Herbert Swanson; Vice President, Dorothy Kerr; Recording Secretary; Virginia Satter; Corresponding Secretary, Sue Lech- trecker; and Treasurer, Laura Atkinson. The Student Council is the representative body of Red Bank High School students who deals with school problems within the jurisdiction of our school's pupil governmental body. The Council is composed of one member from each homeroom, three delegates-at-large, and such other student officers necessary to the work of the Council. The work of this organization varies from year to year but certain basic duties are the Red Cross, the hall patrol, and maintainence of a special sugges- tion box for the pupils. This vear's Council went to the yearly Conference at Princeton and also dedicated a plaque honoring the dead of World War II. Our Student Council has been a very successful organiza- tion this past year. 38 THE BUCCANEER Where's the copy? What happened to the front page? I can't find my story.! Those are the familiar cries heard coming from room 2, the Buccaneer staff room. The Buccaneer'' now in its third year is under the direction of Mrs. Helen N. Lauber. The paper, a bimonthly feature, contains school news, school activities, humor, columns and editorials. The Buc offers many opportunities to students interested in both the editorial and business ends of publishing a paper. The editorial duties are the actual writing of articles, copyreading, proofreading, exchange and layout; while the business duties entail circulation and advertising. The editor-in-chief is Nancv McCoach; Managing Edi- tor, Gail Rassas; Make-up Editor, Judy Portner; Copy Editor, Sandra Klarin; Sports Editors, Patricia Bennett and Bill Scott; Feature Editors, Jane White and Janice Wegeman; Art Editor, Nina Egeland; Exchange Betty Ann Mason; Advertising Manager, Barbara Business Manager, Carole Gotschalk; Joyce Bedle. LF THE BAND Drums, trombones, clarinets, and trumpets—these are but a few of the many instruments that make up the Maroon Band under the direction of Mr. John Luckenbill. The band deserves high praise for the enthusiastic support it gives to football games, pep rallies, and P.T.A. meetings. In the spring of the year the band gives a concert as the climax of its activities throughout the year. Each year the Rotary Club entertains the band and the majorettes at a dinner at the Molly Pitcher Hotel. 40 OUR MAJORETTES As the girls in gleaming white and gold come tripping gayly down the football field or along the street in perfect rhythm to the beat of the drum, the class feel their hearts swell with pride. These girls add color and glamor to our athletic games and pep rallies by their intrigu- ing smiles, whirling batons, and perfect strut- ting. The coordination achieved by the group has come after many hours of diligent practice and many a backache. Carolyn Sindlinger is the head majorette and acting drum major of the band. The follow- ing girls comprise the corps: Ann Howard, Leila Jobes, Bettie Schenck, Barbara Trautwein, Linda Glavey, Helen Brancadora, Barbara Ciaglia, Joan Satter, Marie Antenori, Vanda Rovito, Sue Lechtrecker, and Peggy Grogan. 41 ART CLUB FRENCH CLUB One of the smallest and most interesting clubs is the French Club, sponsored by Miss Leon- ora Hodgdon. Its main purpose is to teach the members how to carry on conversations in French. The members also play games, work crossword puzzles, and sing songs in French. This year the Art Club is made up of students who do not have art on their schedules. In the meetings the group has learned to stencil on various types of material with fabric paints. Glass painting is also taken up. Small objects brought from home have been decorated and put to new uses. After learning some of the principles of leathercraft the members have made personal articles for themselves, as pocketbooks, wallets, belts, and slippers. Outdoor sketching is done when weather permits. Throughout the year the close relation- ship between art and crafts is demonstrated. 42 MASQUERS CLUB Any student in Senior High School who is interested in the theatre may join the Masquers. Current plavs in New York are studied. Where's Charley? is the play the group will see this year. Each member will have a part in one of the one-act plays to be given this year. The Tele- gram , The Ghost in the Green Gown , and Curses, the Villian is Foiled , are in practice. The officers are President, Sam Cameron; Vice President, Jean Wissemann; Secretary. Jean Osborn; and Treasurer, Robert Warren. Miss Barbara Deckert is the able adviser for this dramatic club. CHESS and CHECKERS CLUB The Chess and Checkers Club met once a week under the direction of Mr. Popler. Team tournaments were held during each period and announcements of the winning teams were made at the end of each club period. The members not only had a good time playing games but also improved their technique. 43 ADVANCED BRIDGE CLUB The Advanced Bridge Club, advised by Miss Margaret Thompson, is composed of students who already have some knowledge of the game. The group learns the scoring and evalu- ation of hands, biding, the rules for leading, and other such aspects of bridge. The club's eight members are divided into two tables, and participate in weekly games. RADIO CLUB Those pupils in college preparatory and other courses who find it difficult to elect radio may develop radio abilities in this club. This pro- gram is directed by Mr. Best. The club is a member of the national organization, Science Clubs of America. The program, drawn up by the members each year, is usually as varied as the radio field itself. 44 One of our most active clubs is the Camera Club under the able guidance of their adviser, Mr. Anthony Trufolo. The purpose of the club is to instruct students in basic photography. The members learn about the different kinds of cameras, the development of films, correct lighting, and are taught how to make contact prints and enlargements. The club also photographs the various social events and sports of the year, and the editors of the Log are indebted to them for all the candid and informal shots in the yearbook. BEGINNERS’ BRIDGE CLUB If you wish to become a future Culbertson, you are urged to join the Beginners Bridge Club sponsored by Miss Helen Reece. Here the members learn the etiquette of bridge, evalua- tion of hands, proper bidding, fundamental rules of playing, scoring, and methods of fines- sing. In addition, we also find time to conduct a low postmortems and to tell the latest school news. 45 KNITTING CLUB Knitting is fun! It is practical, too, declare the girls who meet once a week in Room 20 with their adviser, Miss Mary Margaret Rice. These knitters are very busy throughout the entire year making socks, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarfs, and afghans. Each time a member of the club forgets her knitting needles she must pay a fine. This is the way this club builds up a little treasury. JUNIOR YEARBOOK CLUB The Junior Yearbook Club was formed to ac- quaint key members with the many problems and their solutions in the editing of the Senior Class yearbook. Heading this group will be co-editors, Judy Portner and Laura Atkinson; associate editors, Anne Errickson and Vinette Jones; literary editors, Gwen Stalberg and Rich- ard Sauls; layout editors, Fred Jacobsen and Richard Seidenzahl; art editors, Barbara Ciag- lia and Jeanette Aequaro; feature editor, Patri- cia Bennett; copy editor, Sandra Klarin; and sports editor, Larry Dutchyshyn. 46 AVIATION CLUB The Commercial Club meets once a week under the direction of Miss Leola Robinson. They type for various teachers, cut and memeo- graph work used by the school. All the typing for The Log” was done by this group. The Aviation Hobby Club was formed with the purpose of giving to interested students ex- perience in model building and general know- ledge of aircraft structure and flight principles. The club was first organized this year with nineteen members who had two small gasoline engines and four control line flying models. By spring these models were flying with each mem- ber given a chance to fly the models he helped build. 47 GIRLS’ BOWLING CLUB Set 'em up; let's go! This is the familiar shout sent up in the Red Bank Recreation Hall on Newman Springs Road each Wednesday by the Girls' Bowling Club, which was organized in the fall by Miss Elisabeth Kelley. This club is one of the interesting extra-curricular activi- ties provided for the girls in high school. As soon as more girls reach a average of one hundred, teams will be started, and we hope for contests with teams from other schools. ROD and GUN CLUB The Rod and Gun Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Stephen Skakandy. The members participate in various activities, such as mackerel fishing trips, rifle competition, and assisting the game wardens to stock streams in the spring. Frank Mazza is the coach of the rifle team and Mr. Skakandy is in charge of the fishing adventures. A CAPPELLA CHOIR The Acappella Choir was organized for the first time this year by Mrs. Winona Mason, mu- sic teacher. The membership was opened to all high school students who wished to try out. The aims of the choir are fine singing of beau- tiful music and representing the school on the very highest possible plane both in performance and in conduct. PING-PONG CLUB The Ping-pong Club of Red Bank High School had an outstanding membership and a good season during the 1948-1949 school year. The club was taught the fundamentals of ping-pong playing and it also was a source of practice for those skilled in the art of the game. Through- out the year separate tournaments have been held for girls and boys. Mr. Vincent Paladino was club adviser and he had a competent staff working with him. 49 GIRLS’ RECREATION CLUB The Handicraft Club was organized to provide an inexpensive use of leisure time. The dues the girls paid helped to buy the materials they needed to make earings, wallets, and other ac- cessories. Miss Frank, the adviser of the club gave the girls individual instruction on their projects. The motto A sport for every girl and every girl in a sport explains the purpose of our Red Bank High Girls' Recreation Club. Every girl in school is a potential member. Throughout the year various sports activities are offered whereby the girls can take part and earn points toward G. R. C. awards. In the fall we have hockey and soccer; in the winter, bas- ketball; and in the spring, volleyball and soft- ball. Opportunity is given to each girl to keep a record of her outside of school sports activities also and these points are added to her total. HANDICRAFT CLUB 50 CLUB The boys of the Automotive Club under the direction of Mr. Stanley Carhart were given instruction on the care of cars and car parts. They were each given one repair or replace- ment job as a club project. The boys learned the satisfaction that comes from successfully completing a practical piece of work that is an actual saving for a car owner. The Boys' Bowling Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Howard Brown. Its members met weekly after school at the local alleys. To promote an interest, the members decided to give three different awards: the person who bowled the highest total for three games, the highest game, and the highest team. Their plans also included competing with Shore Con- ference schools. The officers who served during the year were: President, Jack Triolo; Vice President, Tom Osborn; Secretary, Tom Pingitore. 51 TUMBLING CLUB Mr. Louis Jacoubs, physical education instru- tor, organized the Boys' Tumbling Club for the purpose of teaching tumbling and poise and developing the upper torso, shoulders and arms. The Club gave exhibitions at assembly, and this year the tumblers presented an excel- lent performance at the reception given by the Red Bank Board of Education for the parents, teachers, and pupils. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The purpose of the Public Speaking Club was to acquaint its members with the principles and techniques of public speaking. By means of group discussions, debates and individual participation, the aims of purposive public speaking were developed. The club ad- viser was Mr. Burnet Henyon. The room is dark and mysterious as we gaze into the crystal ball which Madame Venatta has placed before us. As the scenes of the future unroll, we focus our attention on Red Bank, New Jersey, in the year 1959. The mist rises and we see a larger and more prosperous town. We wonder what has brought about this change, and our answer is given as we look into the eighteenth story of the tallest office building. We see Ralph Richardson, the world-famed capitalist, who has endowed his millions for this advancement, seated at his desk, dictating new plans to his stenographers, Mary Ann Lettieri and Margaret Romeo. In the next room are his secretaries, Mary Lou Madreperl, Irma Massa, Frances Oryll, and Doris Wilson, carrying on his huge corres- pondence with the business men of the town: Bernard Daniels, Robert Summers, Fred Bruno, and the firm of Morris, Vaiti, and DellaVecchia. In the outer offices we see his receptionists, Carolyn Zachlod and Dorothy Lambertson, making appointments for Anne Binder and Rita Menei, the foreign language translators of the firm. Seated near by at the switchboard are Allyne Wright, Addie Ver- ange, Miriam Windnagle, and Josephine Puglise, the telephone operators. They are trying to contact Ilse Glavey, the firm's legal adviser; Marjorie McGuire, C.P.A.; the engineering firm of Rosch and Fuhrmann, and Commander John Fix at the Red Bank harbor. We now turn our attention to this busy river port. Coast Guardsman, Dean Haviland; navymen, Tom West, Bill Feeny, and Jack Triolo, are in conference with the mechanical engineers of the harbor—Nick Samaras, Francis Mcllvried, Bob Lerner, Bill Thorpe, and Alvin Hoffman. Suddenly they are interrupted by the confusion at the dock as truck drivers, George Cuje and Tony Ferraro, un- load the new supersonic ship motor designed by Richard Harrison. We now leave the ship yard to look at the tall building which we can see towering above the town—it is the new high school, whose plans were drawn up by draftsmen, Marion Galatro, and which was constructed under the super- vision of carpenters, John Ariozzi, Bob Morgan, and Tom Pizzo. It is the first building in Red Bank to use the new atomic lighting system, invented and in- stalled by electrician, Sanford Jones. Now it is lunch time, and, as we watch the students and teachers pour out of the building, we see some familiar faces: Latin teacher, Flossie Pye; art teachers, Nina Egeland and Barbara Trautwein; English teacher, Janice Wegeman, and gym teacher, Bill Scott. Let us follow Flossie as she hurries to the airport to make reservations for her summer vaca- tion trip. The airport is a small business center in itself. There is a beauty salon, owned by Betsy Noglows, in which Jean Wissemann, Angie Verange, Clara Miller, and Joan Satter work. Across the corridor is the firm of Esch, Kennedy, and Lowry, radio technicians. Next door Mario Giglio, contractor, manages a home-building agency. As we look through the door, we see Herby Swanson, a contented family man, discussing plans for his new house. In a near-by office, Margie Estelle, Elaine Gilmore, Jean Hoffman, and Adelaide Hoyt of the com- mercial art firm, Barnard and Brancadora, are busily arranging appointments for the firm's artists, James Hershon, Joanne Madreperl, Dorothy Kerr, Santa Dimaio, cartoonist; Ann Howard, and advertising photographer, Ira Sheppard, Adjoining this office is a drug store where clerk, Peter Rossi, works for pharma- cist, Charles Newman; Charles is making out prescription for Doctor Enoch Ask of the City Hospital, where nurses Marie Petrofsky, Beatrice Plummer, and Peggy Grogan work. We turn our attention to the giant plane which has just landed and see air line hostesses, Joan Wenzel, Gloria Sandomeno, and Mary Caprioni, helping the passengers off the plane. Down the gangplank come industrial chemist, Shirley Sims, with her assistant, Barbara Brasefield; Joyce Bedle, Diana Bove, and Ruth Ludwig, who have come to bring their new teaching ideas to the Red Bank Grammar Schools; Benny Costa, New York's most prominent dentist, with his receptionist, Marie Costello, and his private secretary, Nancy Ottinger; Barbara Kuhl, Red Bank's first woman minister;; Marian Wallace, a famous textile worker, with her assistants, clothes-designers, Harriet McIntyre and Dorothy Carter. The last to step from the plane are typists, Betty Schenk, Jo- sephine Trocchia, and Doris Koch, and bookkeepers, Mabel Shomo and Janet Opsahl, who are representing Philip Smith and Company, dairy products, at a dinner to be given at Ralph Acerra's famed nightclub. We follow them and enter a huge room, beautifully furnished by interior decorator, Anne Merrill. We notice many celebrities with interest. Among the crowd are Gail Rassas, a prominent radio commentator; Powers model, Veronica Stubbs; Nancy McCoach, editor of Red Bank's Daily Review ; Ruth Olson, a well known social worker; Marine Commander Walter Stearns, and Army officer, Peter Vasilik; authors, Beverly Bacon and Loretta Disepalo; Louis DiPaolo and Harold Ostrov, retired business men; Jean Gardenier, music critic; statesman, Allen Strasburger; and playboys Tony Ferraro and Louis DeMaio. Now the lights dim and the floor show begins. First to appear in the spot light is a trio; singers, Bruce Ashton, Rosamond Neal, and Jack Jacobs, ac- companied by Vilma Davis at the organ and Ruby Gaddis and Bob Scott at the drums. Next as a special attraction of the evening, some famous sport celeb- rities are introduced; professional baseball players, Dominic Soldo and Joe Montano, and professional football players, Charles Bublin and Robert Wilson. Finally trumpeter, Dick Brounley's orchestra begins to play, and as we listen to the soft music, the scene gradually fades away and once again we return to the present—1949. Our Senior Play Wanted, a spy glass, a brass spittoon, a goose neck telephone, an amiable cat, and an atmosphere redolent of The Pink Lady, Too Much Mustard, the Maxixe, and the Castle Walk! And so it went on week after week until on April First with the River Street School Audi- torium packed to overflowing, the Senior Class presented Years Ago, a comedy in three acts written by Ruth Gordon and directed by Miss Margaret Thompson.

We nominate and appoint to be the executors of this, our Last Will and Testament, Richard Wolf and Stanley Gilbertson, and it is our will that neither of them shall be required to give or furnish any bond or undertaking for the faithful performance of their duties as such executors in any jurisdiction what- soever. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand this sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty nine. Signed, Sealed, Published, and Declared by the said class of 1949. 1945-1946 Perhaps a glimpse into the pages of our his- tory will bring back familiar scenes of those cherished days we spent in Red Bank High School. The refugees from Little Silver stum- bled about innocently amid the confusion and excitement of Red Bank Junior High School. Our worries and woes were confided in our capable advisers, Miss Repp and Mr. Brown- ing. In the middle of the year we elected some class officers. Ilse Glavey took on the very strenuous (?) task of president while Edward Lee pulled out with the vice-presidency. Dot Kerr was secretary and Howard Kennedy held on to the treasury through many a slim day. Time flew guickly! Graduation was only seven science teachers and three issues of the Juven- ile Journal away. Our future stars of stage, screen, and radio gave an excellent perfor- mance of Let's Make Up, and for being good girls and boys we were given our tickets of admission to the exciting world of Senior High School. Calais , y 1947-1948 At last we were settling down (or so everyone thought). We were Juniors! We went to work on magazine sales and netted nearly four hundred dollars. Early in the year we chose the hard-working, competent Walter Stearns for our new president and Rita Menei for vice- president. Marian Wallace got writer's cramp as did Bob Summers, who entered all the class earnings in the treasurer's book. Jack Fix and Margie Romeo kept the class working selling Christmas cards, stationery, and football tags. The Junior-Senior Reception was, with- out exception, the best dance ever given in the history of Red Bank High School. Without the efforts of Mr. Haviland, Nina Egeland, our chairman; Lois Barnard, the hard working Juniors, and our adviser all would have been lost. The Oriental theme was carried out com- pletely: black silhouettes around the gym, Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the band dressed in coolie coats, a Chinese arch, and coolies on the dance programs. We loved rrrrv adviser dancing with the good- ' R ver Street School. This 'J nnr 1948-1949 f oui oenior year, we ___uuwn to the task of electing Senior Class officers and planning future events. All the officers of our Junior year were reelected. It tried hard to rain out some of our football games, but the girls sold a ton of candy and the boys sold coffee and hot dogs netting the class a tidy profit. Dot Keer was head cheerleader, with two other senior girls on the squad. Phil Smith and Dom Soldo were co-captains of the football team and Herbie Swanson was President of the Stu- dent Council. We elected Ralph Acerra as our editor; . Glavey and Adelaide Hoyt as associate edi- tors; Dean Haviland as business manager; Santa DiMaio as layout editor of the yearbook. Time passed and still Dot Kerr, Helen Branca- dora, and Nina Egeland continued the art work for the yearbook. Under the capable direction of Miss Thomp- son, we presented the Senior play, Years Ago. We sold almost a thousand tickets. What a memorable night that was! Meantime, we greatly appreciated the de- lightful reception which the Juniors gave us in May. Our Senior Prom was a memory which will be forever dear to us. The end came so quickly that we could hardly realize that it was all over. With many a backward glance and that proverbial lump in evidence in our throats, we wrote the final chapter of the book entitled The History of 1949.

Kc CHEERLEADERS Hot or cold, rain or shine, tired or rested, winning or losing, the cheerleaders are on hand at our football games, basketball games, and pep rallies. They are ably led by Dottie Kerr and coached from the background by Miss Lorraine Ander- son. i MISS LORRAINE ANDERSON Adviser to the Cheerleaders V This cheerful group of nine is an added at- traction at any athletic event. Their uniforms of maroon velvet skirts with white sweaters during football and maroon jumpers with white blouses during basketball add much to their formations and the precision timing of their heers. Three cheerleaders are chosen from each class to serve three years. One substitute is chosen, this year she is Jean Wakefield. In order to cheer at games they must attend regu- lar practices. A captain is chosen by vote of the group each year from the senior class. The captain is the leader but each girl has freedom of suggestion and decisions are reached through the majority vote of the sguad. V DYNAMO, LET'S GO! DYNAMITE, LET'S FIGHT! DYNAMO. DYNAMITE TEAM!

DOMINIC VAITI Tackle SANFORD JONES Tackle LOUIS DEMAIO Guard WALTER STEARNS End DOMINICK SOLDO Captain—F u llback ' THOMAS PHIPPS Assistant Coach The opening game of the season was played against Princeton. Although the Princeton team was favored, the Bucs came out the victors, the first time in ten years. They again marched out on the field to meet the Manasquan eleven and held them to a scoreless tie. Being fa- vored over the Rumson Bulldogs, the Bucs again came home with a 6-0 victory. The Leonardo Lions came out better by defeating the Bucs 25-13. The Asbury Park game was the most outstanding game played by the team this year, however, with their experi- ence and extreme power, the Blue Bish- ops came through to take the game 13-0. FOOTBALL PHIL SMITH Co-Captain—Left Guard HERBIE SWANSON Fullback RICHARD FUHRMANN End RICHARD HARRISON Tackle THOMAS WEST End The Bucs , playing the South River team, although outclassed, held the opponents to a 27-7 score. Surprised by Neptune's sudden change to the T- formation, the fighting squad was beaten by a 13-0 score. The Maroon and White went out against the Long Branch team with the determination to hold the favored Branchers down, but the Green Wave scored 13 points while the ''Bucs'' failed to tally. Although the ''Bucs had only a few letter men on their squad this year they overcame this handicap with a strong school spirit and the determination to do their best for Red Bank. 76 DEAN HAVILAND Fox ward. BASKET The varsity basketball team coached by Frank Pingitore started its 1948-1949 season with only two players from last year's squad, Tom West and Pete Foster, and three of last year's outstanding Freshmen. The team, though lacking experience, made up for this with their undaunted spirit and will to win. Through Mr. Pingitore's able coaching the team pulled some surprising upsets, many in the last few seconds of play. Starting slowly in the Round Robin Tourna- men where the Bucs dropped one game each to Asbury Park, Manasquan and Long Branch, they came back to take Keyport in their first Conference tilt. In a very exciting and thrilling finish, with two overtimes, Manasquan man- aged to eke out a 32-30 win over Red Bank, but the Buccaneers came back to trounce the Rum- son cagers. After Rumson, Red Bank came back to life by beating Leonardo in a thrilling last SCORES Red Bank 50 Rumson 29 Red Bank Asbury Park Red Bank Manasquan 42 49 37 39 Red Bank Keyport Red Bank Atlantic Hiqhlands 55 17 41 46 Red Bank Manasquan Red Bank Neptune 30 32 34 55 Red Bank Long Branch Red Bank Leonardo 38 44 41 39 mtWA pT-f BALL minute rally. In the next game they were again defeated by a strong Neptune five, but in the following game Red Bank again staged a thrill- ing rally in the last few seconds of play to de- feat Manasquan. The Bucs then went on to de- feat St. James, but were defeated by Atlantic Highlands in a close finish. Taking off again Red Bank staged a thrilling upset by beating a strong Long Branch quintet. The following game saw Red Bank losing to Leonardo. From then on the Bucs rolled on by winning their last four games from Rumson, Keyport, Long Branch, and St. James. Pacing the Buccaneers was Pete Foster who with Vince DiPonte led the Bucs in their scoring. Playing very good defensive ball were Pete Reeves, Charles Patterson, and Russel Booth. Always ready to come in when needed were Tom West, Dean Haviland, and Tom Gamba- corta, Red Bank 31 Neptune 60 Red Bank 34 Leonardo 53 Red Bank 46 Manasquan 44 Red Bank 59 Rumson 54 Red Bank 53 R. B.

The team had a tough schedule ahead of them but the Buc's came through with many wins for Red Bank High. They started the season by taking Red Bank Catholic High with the score of 8-6, then followed up by topping Neptune's Scarlet Fliers in a thrilling game with a 15-13 score. They continued this pace almost through- out the season.

Gone were such outstanding performers as Bob Ferguson, Ray Schmidt, lames Scott, Dick Chadwick, Louis Hughes, and Carl Glover. These were the trackmen who put Red Bank in a top position on the winning list. However, there were some men who scored several points last year and turned in outstanding perfor- mances: Sanford Iones, Herbie Swanson, Wil- liam Scott, Charles Bublin, Dave Dillon, Stanley Mayerson, and Walter Perry. A great deal was expected from the Sophomores: Pete Reeves, Russell Booth, Sam Cameron, Bill Graham, Marshall Whitfield, and Fred DeMaio. Other good prospects were Richard Riqby, Fred Bruno, Charles Woodward, Nessan Demmerle, Bob Morgan, Don Hardy, Dave Kennedy, Ralph Richardson, Luther Galloway, Nate Alexander, George Clayton, Bob Rue, Joe Hawkins, Russell Glover, and Winston Davis. The track team was presented with 40 regu- lation hurdles and new track shirts purchased by the Board of Education.

The girls met two days a week after school for the practice of basket- ball skills and to perfect new plays. Be- sides engaging in intramural games, the Senior team competes with other high schools: Leonardo, Asbury Park, Rum- son, and Keyport. Shirley Sims was the captain and the following Seniors com- prised the team: Doris Wilson, Dottie Carter, Margie Estelle, Barbara Traut- wein, Mabel Shomo, Clara Miller, Ro- samond Neal, Elaine Jordan, Betty Schenck, Flossie Pye, Marian Wallace, Betty Noglows, and Anne Howard. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL GIRLS’ BASEBALL This season, as in previous years, baseball was a very popular sport among the girls. In order to create interest, Mrs. Irene Smith sched- uled games, not only during gym classes, but in activity periods and lunch hours as well. In this way, the girls were able to accumulate ex- tra points for their G.R.C. awards. Teams, or- ganized in each homeroom, competed enthusi- astically toward defeating their fellow class- mates. GIRLS’ HOCKEY The girls' hockey team, first organized in 1946, by Mrs. Irene Smith, physical education instructor, was composed this year of girls from the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. For two weeks after school the girls practiced diligently to improve skill and to perfect new plays. Finally, they engaged in many exciting intramural games, climaxing the season by the freshman team meeting the Asbury Park High School group and bringing victory to Red Bank.
