Among these were the Junior Apple Cart, and hot dog and soda sales at the basketball games. The class executive committee meets every week with Mr. Schoneman to plan future activities and to discuss financial matters. Anticipating a crammed senior year, the juniors are trying to crowd as much as possible into this year. Good luck to the Senior of 1951! 43 In September, 1949, the present Sophomore Class entered the portals of Red Bank High School. The class organized early in the year with the following slate of officers: President, Stephen Morris; Vice-President, Richard Stoot- hoff; Secretary, Carol Beer; Treasurer, Lloyd Reynolds; Business Manager, Jack Lemon; and Assistant Business Manager, Jack Lewis. Mrs. Ruth King was chosen adviser, and it was under her guidance that the class present- ed the very successful comedy What A Life and later held the colorful Sophomore Cotillion. The Sophomores participated in many school activities including the Buccaneer, Girls' Recre- ation Club, and all sports. The girls' basketball team was heavily commended for its unde- feated record during the season. If the Sophomores continue to show the en- thusiasm they have shown this year, their next two years in Red Bank High School should certainly be extremely successful. 44 STEVE MORRIS President MRS.

Mr. Sieber was graduated from the high school in Miffintown, Pennsyl- vania, and attended the Lewistown School in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. In 1909, he received his B.S. degree from Gettysburg. Later he took graduate work at New York University, where he received his Master's degree. He continued his studies at Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts, where he attended the first coaching school established in the United States. Before coming to Red Bank, Mr. Sieber was head of the mathematics department of the high school in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and later served as high school principal in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, and Dover, New Jersey. He came to Red Bank as principal in 1920. For a time in addition to his other duties, he coached the football and baseball teams and helped found the New Jersey State Athletic Association. At present Mr. Sieber is making his home in Texas, where he has gone into the real estate business. At this time in the name of the many students who have come under his guidance, we should like to express appreciation for his many years of services and good wishes for his health and happiness in the years to come. 46 47 THE Lest the untiring efforts of the Yearbook staff be forgotten, this space has been set aside to relate to you the inside story of The Log. Time moves backward. It is an eventful day in October in the dim, dark past. In Room 5, the occupants are pondering over weighty questions: the number of pages to go into the yearbook, the choice of a cover, and the most important decision— should we put the names in gold or silver? Time moves slowly onward. The important decisions having been made, and the staff members are hard at work trying to meet the first deadline. Time marches on. Finally, all the sections have been written, edited, typed, and sent to Mr. Rae, our publisher. The Log has taken shape, and the finished product which is now yours.

Projects of all sorts were intro- duced, discussed, adopted, or discarded. In November, ten members of our Council journeyed to Princeton Uni- versity to attend the 24th Annual Conference of the New Jersey Association of High School Councils. Here, panel and group discussions were held. William Graham acted as chairman of one of these discussions, while Clyde Lindner was elected, by representations of all the assembled schools, to serve on the state board as an executive member. According to tradition, the Student Council purchased and decorated a huge Christmas tree which was placed in the upper hall in front of the office. Clothing was collected and sent to a needy family in Kentucky. In return, the Council received Christmas greens with which to decorate the office and the library. A main project was the compiling and publishing of a Student Handbook. Its purpose is to acquaint new students with certain facts concerning our school, information relating to the facutly, curriculum, organizations and school rules. Special assembly programs were sponsored by the Council during the year, and through the action of the Council, permission was granted to have dancing in the Gym after each home basketball game. The establishment of an Honor Roll was an imporant accomplishment. A more satisfactory traffic plan was instituted, and a patrol committee was organized. Officers for the year 1949 1950 were President, Philip Baumann; Vice- President, Pat Bennett; Treasurer, William Graham; Recording Secretary, Jean Osborn; and Corresponding Secretary, Clyde Lindner. Miss Ruth LaWall acted as adviser to the group. 50 CAMERA CLUB Under the guidance of Mr. A. Trufolo, the Camera Club is rapidly attain- ing a professional air. In fact, during the past year, in addition to raising the standard for school photography, the members have added an electronic flash gun and rebuilt the dark room. Three members, Mike Basso, Rick Miller, and Harold Ruddy, have won prizes in the National High School Photographic Contest which was sponsored by Kodak. During club period, seniors act as assistants and instruct members in the use of cameras, how to obtain correct lighting, and to make contact prints and enlargements. The officers of the club are President, Harold Ruddy; Vice- president, Dick Wolf; Rick Miller, secretary-treasurer. Ruddy and Miller at the enlarger Harold Ruddy President ation proper ilium 1' Learnin OUR MAJORETTES This year our highsteppers led once again by the capable and attractive Carolyn Sindlinger, have added color and pep to every activity in which they have participated. The corps has developed a variety of routines for the football games— something never before attempted. There were the polka dance, square dance, jitterbugging to the Hucklebuck as well as their perfect precision marching. The girls did a fine job, and we were mighty proud of them. The corps consisted of the Leader, Carolyn Sindlinger; Assistant leader, Sue Lechtrecker; Majorettes, Virginia Satter, Phyllis Antenori, Lorraine Iones, Marie Antenori, Barbara Ber- ger, Vonda Rovito, Peggy Grogan, Joan Chapman, Barbara Ciaglia, Grace Shea, and Leila Jobes. Our able substitutes were Joan Fletcher, Carol Beer. Jose- phine Buonano, and Connie Francis. CAROLYN SINDLINGER Head Majorette I I THE BAND The Red Bank High School Band, composed of sixty-seven members and directed by Mr. John Luckenbill, deserves much credit for its fine music at pep rallies and football games. Be- sides being in charge of the Band, Mr. Luckenbill offers free lessons to all students who are permitted to use all school instruments. In May the Annual Band Festival was given which included selections by the Elementary Band and the Senior Band. To show their appreciation, the Rotary Club gave the Band a banquet in June. MR.

The club is under the direction of Mr. Howard Brown. During the year there were meets between Red Bank and other schools. The club also par- ticipated in the Shore Conference Bowling League Tournament, in which they captured third place last year. ADVANCED BRIDGE CLUB The Advanced Bridge Club, under the lead- ership of Miss Margaret Thompson, consists of students who have had previous bridge-play- ing experience, either in the Beginners Club or elsewhere. This group spends a pleasant club period playing bridge, picking up useful pointers about the game, and catching up on the latest gossip. Appearing for the first time this year is the Football Club. It is an organization which con- sists of about twenty boys, all of whom play high school football. The main purposes of the club are to acquaint the members with National Collegiate Code on Football, to help them learn the more intricate offensive plays and defen- sive formations, and to learn how to block, tackle, and pass correctly. The club plans to donate money to the National Football Shrine and to attend a major collegiate athletic event some time in the future. Mr. Louis Jacoubs is the adviser. The Chess and Checker Club, under the sup- ervision of Mr. Popler, meets every Wednesday. The purpose of the club is to improve the tech- nique of chess and checker enthusiasts. A schedule of competitive games to determine the relative ability of the players has been ar- ranged. The president of the club is Glenn Kear- ney; the Treasurer. Dominick Sestito. CHESS CHECKERS CLUB 57 r The Senior High School Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Lauber, is a very popu- lar school organization. There are sixty-six voices in the mixed group. The choristers have participated in many special programs — at Thanksgiving, Chirstmas, and Easter. Their voices have, also, been heard on W]LK, at the Baccalaureate Services, Commencement, the Sophomore minstrel, and the Junior and Senior P.T.A. meetings. Recently many of the members drove to New York to attend the opera, Carmen.” RADIO CLUB CHORUS The Radio Club's weekly program centers around the study of codes and the discussing of topics, that would interest the amateur in radio. The members are given in code the fun- damentals necessary for obtaining a radio li- cense. Frequent trips to Fort Monmouth Radio Station and Coles Signal Laboratories have been made for the purpose of observing the latest equipment used in this form of communi- cation. The Radio Club, under the supervision of Mr. Emerson Best, is one of our most active clubs. Among the various officers are James Schmidt, President, and Edward Page, Vice President. GIRLS' BOWLING CLUB I The Beginners' Bridge Club, conducted by Miss Helen Reece, provides entertainment every Wednesday afternoon for those who are interested in games of skill. In this club students acquire sufficient knowledge of the fundamen- tals of the game to enable them to play for their own enjoyment. It's a strike! This is the familiar cry heard every Wednesday at the Red Bank Recreation Hall on Newman Springs Road. The Girls' Bowling Club is an extra-curricular activity under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Kelley. The girls are given G. R. C. points for their participation in the games. Contests with the Boys' Bowling Club have been arranged. The officers are President, Ingrid Davenport; Vice- president, Mary King; Treasurer, Emma Poole; Secretary, Frances Romeo; and Business Man- ager Roberta Nelson. BEGINNERS' BRIDGE CLUB The Masquers, under the guidance of Miss Barbara Deckert, has been carrying on a num- ber of activities this year, among which were the Christmas presentation Christmas On Main Street and the production of a social play, in which some important high school problems were involved. The club, also, made its annual trip to New York, this time to see Texas Lil Darlin. The purpose of the Masquers is to discuss contemporary drama as it is presented in the movies or in the legitimate theatre, and to give its members ample experience in acting and in developing stage techniques. One needs no acting experience to join this club. JR. RED CROSS COUNCIL MASQUERS With the Golden Rule as a guiding motto, the Junior Red Cross Council has dedicated it- self to helping others. The club, under the direction of Miss Naoma Frank, is composed of eighteen members who do all they can to help the work of the Red Cross by making articles needed for the hospi- talized veterans of World War I and II and for the enlisted men in training camps. In addition, the club is always ready and willing to con- tribute their support to any worth while project. SPANISH CLUB The Ping-Pong Club, under the direction of Mr. Vincent Paladino and competent student leaders, has had a very successful year. Some members have been taught the fundamentals of playing; others, already skilled in the art of ping-pong have had an opportunity to improve their game. Throughout the year tournaments have been arranged for both girl and boy contestants. Buenos dias, Amigos - The Spanish Club, open to any Spanish student, is sponsored by Miss Edith Lord. Club programs are enjoyable as well as instructive. Interest in Spanish is de- veloped by activities such as playing games, singing songs, reading newspapers, dramatiz- ing plays, and making speeches—all in Span- ish, of course. The president, Bernard Hoffman, is assisted by Secretary Edward Elbert.— Hasta la vista. PING-PONG CLUB 61 The Junior Executive Club was organized for the primary purposes of conducting Junior Class affairs and formulating class policies. The club is composed of four class officers and three representatives elected by the class, who work under the leadership of Ferdinand De Maio, president. The most important under- taking of the club has been the selection of the year book staff for the 1951 Log. JR. EXECUTIVE CLUB OIL PAINTING CLUB The Oil Painting Club has attempted to mas- ter several techniques in oil painting. The stu- dents supply their own paints and equipment. Some use canvas; others, linoleum or oil cloth. Each member can choose the subject he wants to paint; still life or designs, for example. In the spring outdoor sketches are made. Miss Lawson sponsors the club. 62 Seventeen students meet every Wednesday, Activity Period in Room E to discuss, study and actually work on the parts of an automobile which, when defective, cause most of the road- break downs. Special consideration is being given to tires and tubes, the fuel, ignition, and cooling systems. Other interesting material con- cerning automobiles has been brought to the attention of the members, and a number of fine movies have been shown. The club is sponsored by Mr. Stanley Carhart. GIRLS' RECREATION The G. R. C. has been organized for the benefit of those girls who are interested in sports. There are many fields in which the girls can develop their skill. In the fall hockey and soccer predominate; in the winter, basketball; and in the spring, volley ball and softball. The extra-curricular sports, of which there are many, also add points to a girls' record. At the end of the school year the students who have participated are given awards of merit of which they are very proud. The official staff includes Ruth Pahl, Ingrid Davenport, Janet Muysken, Suzanne Stephens, and Marilyn Shampanore. CIRLS RECREATION CLUB I 63 Although the Tumbling Club is relatively new, it has become, under the leadership of Mr. Louis Jacoubs, its adviser, one of the most in- teresting and active of the school organizations. In the instructive periods, its members learn the more advanced rolls, somersaults, and stunts. This routine helps develop poise and alert reflexes. The club plans to present a tumbling demonstration to the student body sometime in May. KNITTING CLUB BOYS' TUMBLING CLUB The Knitting Club, a group of thirty-eight girls from the Junior and Senior Classes meets every Wednesday afternoon in Room 20. Although some interest has been shown in weaving, cro- cheting and embroidering, most of the girls have been knitting Argyle socks. The Club president is Angie Gambacorta and the treasur- er, Margaret Romeo. Chatter and work com bine to make a delightful club period. 64 CHARM CLUB The Charm Club, a new activity this year, offers a program of great interest to girls. This group of thirty-seven students, under the lead- ership of Pat Wells and Carol Bennett, have had lessons in etiquette and grooming, debates and panel discussions on charm and how to develop it. Their future plans include a fashion show and a tea party. This club is under the advisership of Mrs. Ruth King. The Rod and Gun Club, under the supervi- sion of Mr. Stephen Skakandy, is made up of the expert hunters and fishermen of our school. The club goes on a deep sea fishing trip once a year. Its program includes movies and talks about fish and wild life, their habits and activi- ties. ROD AND GUN CLUB 65 T Under the direction of Mrs. Irene Smith, the girls' gym instructor, the Girl's Tumbling Club is in full swing once again. So many girls have showed interest in the activity that has now revealed thirty-four. During the year the club plans to present a demonstration of the girls' abilities. Variations of the forward and backward rolls, hand stands, pyramids, and dives will be demonstrated. Those who are more proficient will attempt neck, head, and hand flips and head stands. None of the routines taught is too difficult for the average girl to master; and since tumbling helps to develop poise and muscular coordina- ation, it is becoming a more and more popular activity among the girls. GIRLS' TUMBLING CLUB COMMERCIAL CLUB Under the excellent leadership of Miss Klara Schroeder, twenty eight girls are given the op- portunity to learn typing and gain experience in doing typical office work. In April Miss Schroeder and the members plan to present a short skit to the Knitting Club. The members have elected Nancy Sue Moreau president and Theresa Caizza secretary of their organization.

The play was ably directed by Mr. Allan Carmen. The production was a huge success. The action of the play takes place in the living room of the Reardon's home in Fernwood, a suburban town in New Jer- sey on a May afternoon, that same evening after dinner, and the next morn- ing. Mr. John William Luckenbill, Director of Instrumental Music, Red Bank High School, arranged a musical program to be given between the acts. 76 The hard-working staff Everything for a career AnuU e « � • F O O T B A L L 80 More eagerly awaited than the summons of the school bell is the return of the football season. The clang of the bucking machine and the thud of shoulder pad against leather helmet is a familiar sound at the athletic field each year as the Red Bank High Buccaneers prepare for another football season. This fall in their opening game, the Bucs proved again that the favorite is not always the winner as they defeated the powerful Princeton aggregation 8-0 on the home field. The following week they invaded Manasquan only to be sent home in defeat on the short end of an 18-9 spanking. For their third game the Bucs entertained a highly-touted Rumson High squad, which, having been keyed for the game, managed to hold the Bankers to a 0-0 tie. Leonardo, last year's conference champions, was next on the schedule, bringing up one of the most exciting and hectic games of the year. Red Bank jumped off to a 10-0 lead at half time. However, the Lions came roaring back to win the game in the final minutes 11-10. In the meeting between Red Bank and Red Bank Catholic, the Bucs marched up and down the field at will for three touchdowns to defeat their out-classed inter-borough rivals 19-0. The Blue Bishops of As- busy Park penetrated Red Bank soil next. Obvious at the start was the power vested in the Bishop squad; yet more obvious was the fact that Red Bank's line had become practically impenetrable as it turned back attack after atack. The Bishop finally pushed over two tallies in the second half to overcome the stubborn Bucs 12-7. Neptune's high flying Fliers were next. They, too, soon felt the wrath of Red Bank's bitter defeat the week before and had to settle for a 6-2 victory. Red Bank's Turkey Day rivals proved to be the toughest opposi- tion of the season; and even though the Bucs jumped off to a 7-0 lead in the initial canto, the Branchers came back in a flurry of aerial magic to crush the Bankers 19-7. Hats off to the scrappy warriors of 1949!

To gain the conference honors, the Bucs had to play in the play-offs at Convention Hall the highly- touted Neptune squad, which Red Bank had nipped by one-point in the regu- lar season game. A repeat performance in another thriller brought the trophy home to Red Bank. Red Bank started the season shakily, with wins over Manasquan and Long Branch in the Round Robin Tournament at Asbury Park, but dropped the deci- sive game to Asbury. The Bucs then upset the defending Shore Conference champs, Neptune, in the opening game of the regular season. One of the most exciting games to be played in the conference this year was captured primarily because of the outstanding performance of Pete Foster, lanky Buc forward, who garnered thirty points for himself and his team. From here the Bucs piled up a winning streak of seventeen games, which included nip and tuck battles with Hoffman, Manasquan, and Freehold. Red Bank defeated the other conference schools, Toms River, Matawan, Lakewood, Keyport, Atlantic Highlands, Rumson, Point Pleasant, and Leonardo, in easy fashion. Two wins over a hapless Long Branch were among the Buc victories. Included in the streak also was a thrilling game with Red Bank Catholic, who was eventually to halt Red Bank two games later. The Shore Conference play-offs found Red Bank piled against Manasquan and Neptune playing Hoffman. As was expected, Red Bank and Neptune entered the finals; but surprisingly, Red Bank again trounced Neptune and won the play-offs as well as the regular season championship. Once more it was the brilliant work of Pete Foster which measured the difference between victory and defeat. It was then, riding on a crest of seventeen victories and two champion- ships, that Red Bank was upset by a highly inspired Red Bank Catholic five, who also had had a wonderful season. Red Bank, entering the state tournament, quickly vanquished a mild Leonardo quintet and then upset highly favored Highland Park. This left the Central State Group II Championship finals open to both Red Bank and Neptune. However, this time it was Neptune who finally conquered a weary Buc squad. Although Pete Foster was the individual standout during the season, he had some marvellous help from Charlie Patterson's set shots, Pete Reeves dribbling. Russ Booth's domination of the back board and Tommy Gamba- corta's defense work. Always ready to come in and relieve the the regulars were Charlie Woodward, Charles Bruno, Arthur White, Nessan Demmerle, William Smith, Winston Davis, and Roger Severin. B A S K E T B A L L 83 PETE FOSTER Captain Pele Foster and With the Sea CHARLES WOODWARD ROGER SEVERIN CHARLES BRUNO In the early spring Mrs. Smith organized a girls' base- ball team. This proved to be the only sport of the year in which the girls were not required to master skills. Mixed teams were formed immediately, and the various groups sweated it out in a series of after-school contests. Plans for a game with Leonardo may provide an addi- tional thrill for the 1950 season. BASKETBALL The senior girls basketball team, under the leadership of Ingrid Davenport was organized in early December. During practice sessions, the girls were drilled on the many different skills, and special plays for for- wards were perfected. Unfortun- ately, not many practices were held before the competition with other schools started. During the season the girls played Key- port, Leonardo, Runson, As- bury, and Long Branch. One day in the early fall the gymnasium was teeming with girls; it was the first day of hockey practice. At first the players were instructed in the various skills, such as dribbling and long shots. During later meetings after a period of rou- tine practice, teams were or- ganized to play one another. Mrs. Smith tried very hard to produce champions but on the tenth of November when Red Bank played the Rumson girls, the Bankers were defeated 2-0. BASEBALL HOCKEY CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders, under the able supervision of Miss Naoma Frank and the competent leadership of Ruth Pahl, do much to inspire and develop in the student body the spirit that gives our athletic teams the will to win. Hats off to the cheerleaders! MISS NAOMA FRANK Adviser RUTH PAHL Captain 08 89 BASEBALL Coach Tom Phipps had only six re- turning lettermen upon which to build this year's squad. These six, however, have fulfilled the promise that they showed last year. Mike Basso started at first base with Phil Baumann play- ing second; Charlie Bruno, third; and Tom Romard, catching. Alvin Griggs patrolled the centerfield lot, while Pete Foster buzzed them across the plate with the same accuracy that he ex- hibited during basketball season. Others on the squad are Tom Cook, lack Lewis, Dick Keating, Tom Gam- bacorte, Dominick Gambacorte, John Overton, John Lewis, Donald Hernan- dez, John Valentine, Bob Osborn. Ar- thur White, Carl Haviland, Harold Newton, Donald Markham. The high hopes coaches Vincent Paladino and Louis Jacobs had pinned on this year's track were amply justi- fied by the season's record. With sev- eral returning lettermen and many promising candidates, the squad im- proved as the season went along. Charles Woodward was exceptional in the high hurdles, as were Sam Cam- eron and Stanley Mayerson in the dis- tances. A1 Spenney came through well in the 440. Dave Dillon, a big asset in the weight field with his discus and javelin throwing, received credit- able help from Dick Seidenzahl in the shot. Joe Tomaino and Pete Van Keu- ren excelled in the pole vault and high jump respectively. Other members of the squad were Bob Jeffrey, Edward De Vaux, Pete Reeves, Winston Davis, Charles Mey- ers, Andy Larabee, Russel Glover, El- bert Griggs, Howard Thornton, Ed Hughs, Nate Alexander, Fred Di Maio, Dick Rigby, Victor Bradley, Jay Valent, Arnold Baum, Bill Sherwood, Wesley Reevey, JoeCannavo, Anthony D'Marc- antonio, Sonny Thornton, Richard Drake, Tom Pingatore, Bill Spratley, and Nessan Demerle.
