The teachers at Red Bank High have followed that commandment. During our four years here, they have worked to give us a deeoer insight into the problems confronting us. This book is a record of the lighter moments in those four years. It has not always been too easy; hut the result of the four years, as has been proved in the past, is a group of young men and women prepared to meet the chal- lenges and opportunities of the world. 4 ©ebtcatton MR. WILLIS M. SISSON We dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Willis M. Sisson, who is a genuine scholar and a friend of all. He is endowed with a remarkable understanding of hoys and girls and the remedies for their problems and troubles. He is a leader, who has taken over a big responsibility this year and made it a reality. Wre inscribe this yearbook to Mr. Sisson with affectionate regard, with confidence in his judgment, and with anticipation of the great future of Red Bank High and its students under his guidance. 5 3fn Jflemortam MISS BARBARA DECKERT In the passing on of Miss Barbara Deckert we all feel that we have suffered a great loss. For she was a woman who was loved by all and a true friend to everyone. The students and faculty will always remember her out- standing achievements in furthering the education and guidance of Red Bank’s youth. MISS NAOMA FRANK MRS. IDA GARRUTO With deep gratitude, we pay tribute to our class advisors, who gave to us their conscientious support and leadership in directing our class. The tedious extra hours they spent plan- ning gave us many happy high school memories that we shall never forget. Under their guidance we were able to have a more than successful variety show, class play, and class dances. We, the Class of ’55, thank you. 0uv $eer£ ... 7 parliament........... ......$£oarb of Cbucatton WILLIAM L. BENNETT EDMUND J. CANZONA President SAMUEL CAROTENUTO DR.

Mf)e Juntors === Class of 1956 The Junior Class was organized under the guid- ance of their advisors Mr. Joseph Farrell, Mr. Arthur Bentz, and Mrs. Lorraine Pazicky. Officers elected were as follows: Ted Schloesser, President; William Howard, Vice President; Mary Applegate, Secretary; Barbara Davis, Treasurer: Lois Siegel, Business Manager; and Carmella Ciaglia, Assistant Business Manager. In 1953, the present Junior and Senior classes jointly sponsored the Frcshmen-Sophomore Dance, which was held in the gymnasium of Bed Bank High School. The class was second highest in the magazine campaign for that year. They also sponsored a class beach party at Sea Bright. The theme of the Frosh-Soph Hop of 1954 was “Springtime in Paris.” This was the first dance to be held in the new gymnasium. As Sophomores, the class led the magazine sale and, as an additional fund-raising activity, took charge of selling cake on one-session days. During the first part of this year, the Junior class received their class rings. Highlights of the year were the Junior-Senior Reception, held at the Molly Pitcher Hotel, and the Junior Play. The theme of the dance was the “Mardi Gras.” The Junior Play, entitled “Father of the Bride,” was directed by Miss Margaret Thompson. Both of these events were smashing successes. Major fund-raising activities in- cluded the sale of Red Bank High School pennants and pencils, as well as booster tags for both football and home basketball games.

As Freshmen, the Class of ’57 set a new record for the amount of money earned in the annual magazine sales. Again as Sophomores, they led the other three classes in the money earned in the mag- azine sales. Being verv proud of this accomplish- ment, they hope to maintain this record in their two remaining years in the school. A very successful money making project carried on by the class was the selling of cake on one ses- sion days. This is what they really called an entire class project, since nearly every member of the class contributed cakes. The class also collected money through the assessment of class dues from ever)' member of the class. The Sophomore Class is represented in the High School Band, majorettes, cheerleaders. Student Council, School Choir, and consistently represented in sports. Members of the class also participate in other school activities and clubs. The largest and most exciting event of the year took place in the spring when the class joined with the Freshmen for the Frosh-Soph Hop. A capable decorating committee decorated the High School gym with a springtime theme. The dance was a huge success with couples from both classes attend- ing. The Class of 57 is looking forward with spirit for the time when they will gain the name of upper classmen. They know of the big job ahead of them and hope they will maintain the high standards of the past.

The first election held by the frosh was to choose capable students to represent their homerooms at the Student Council meetings. At the first class meeting held in October, the class learned that its advisors were to he Mrs. Patri- cia Davies, Mr. Howard Brown, and Mr. Julius Lasky. During the month of November, many freshmen were seen tacking up campaign posters in prepara- tion for the election of class officers. The results were as follows: President, Stuart Lowenberg; Vice President, Theodore Doremus; Secretary, Nancy Predmore; Treasurer, Evan King; Business Mana- ger, Joanna Wark; and Assistant Business Manager, Charles McMahon. The first trip that the class took was to the Trenton State Fair in September. The day proved to he one of education and entertainment. A big money making affair for the class was Mr. Brown’s annual Spring Festival. The program consisted of selections sung by the Choir, Choral- ettes, and Male Chorus. The Frosh-Soph Hop held in the spring was a huge success according to those who attended. The Freshmen showed their enthusiasm by par- ticipating in as many extra-curricular activities as possible. Many of the students attended the well- planned Student Council dances. The Freshmen have made a grand beginning and are a credit to our school. FRESHMAN EXECLTINE HOARD 83 84 feature . Court Becorbs .... This is our story. Ft is, by no means, a complete history, because our group has been so versatile and active that many of its deeds will go unrecorded. We spent nine years working for that day when we could renounce our servitude as squires and claim the golden spurs of kuighthood as we officially began Senior High School. It was still spring when Graduation Day arrived. Do you remember that most extraordinary June morning when one hundred and sixty-five candidates stood awaiting their awards in the Branch Avenue Castle? Can you recall the sudden surge of joy as the parchments that would alter our rank to trustworthy knights of the realm were entrusted to us? The records state that our leaders were as follows: President, Bernard Dupree; Vice President, Robert Finelli; Secretary, Ann Caruso; and Treasurer, Peter Kozachok. Up to this time Lady Charlotte Sims and Sir George Saffa had guided us in our training. Within the River Street Castle, located on the western boundaries of the hamlet, thirty-one additional candidates prepared to join their associates after they had received their new rank in the presence of Mayor Katherine E. White and Edward Canzona. President Dorothy Clarke, Vice President Thomas Mitchell, Secretary Rita Mitchell, and Treasurer Anthony Colosimo presided over the group. Ladies Sarah Levy and Elsie MacLeod had directed their three years in junior high school. After two months leave, all entered the Senior High Palace in good spirits. In the first month of our year on the battlements, the Lords of the Castle decreed that the Ladies Naoma Frank, Ida Garruto, and Sir George Saffa organize the court activities. Before the passing of that same month, the peers elected their leaders: Norman Sickels, President; Bernard Dupree, Vice President; Ann Caruso, Secretary; Peter Kozachok, Treasurer; Sandra Levy, Business Manager; and Ed- ward Aumack, Assistant Business Manager. The chief work at court during the succeeding months was to replenish the exchequer. In this, we had remarkable success in the sale of magazines, cakes, and pencils. With the coming of spring, the need for some deviation from the routine grind became apparent. The “Sophomore Cuties,” clothed in ribbons and homespun sacks, made their dehut and thrilled their appreciative audience. Then, just about the time when the roses in the castle gardens were blooming, the peers decided that the time was right for their annual pilgrimage. This year they were to go to the Ocean County Park in Lakewood. The high-lights of this journey will always be remembered. Still later the courtiers also enjoyed the Freshman-Sophomore Dance, at which time the lists were converted into a Grand Ballroom. The spirit of gaiety, ease, and laughter prevailed until the Ides of June, when everyone concentrated on his preparation for the jousts. Thus this year was ended. The passing of summer had changed the aging castle into a desir- able Utopia with all necessary provisions and equipment for the train- ing of the flower of knighthood and the ladies of the court. From without, it was a most impressive structure, which had the effect of inspiring a new spirit of pride and dignity in everyone work- ing in the fortress. When officers were again elected, all incumbents held their posts, with one exception: Anthony Cammarano assumed the position of Assistant. Business Manager. This was to he a year of intense work. As part of a plan to finance the costly events that were yet to come, all the courtiers participated in the sale of charm bracelets, tie clasps, mascots, Christmas cards, and pencils. 86 ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ At this time we adopted our coat-of-arms and had it mounted on signets. Elaborately forged in gold ami decorated with our traditional crest, the rings were enthusiastically received by the courtiers and will be displayed proudly lor years to come. In February of 1954, the Junior-Senior Reception was held in the ballroom of the Molly Pitcher Hotel which had been transformed into an under-sea realm. The long hours that had been spent in the planning ami preparing for the dance made it a tremendous success. The last activity of the year, the Junior Class Play, “High School Hero,” was the one event needed to make a completely fruitful year. During the course of the year we were asked to send representa- tives to various organizations, and this we did proudly, choosing from our ranks by vote. Robert Danes and Brian McNaughton were elected to go to the United Nations as guests of the Odd Fellows Youth Committee. Rutgers University was the scene of two more of these expeditions. We were represented there at Girls’ State by Ros- slyn King and Bovs’ State by Anthony Bruno and Peter Clarke. Jean Squire and Marilyn Hamlin served as our envoys at the Girls’ Citizen- ship Institute held at New Jersey College for Women. Next, under the efficient leadership of Ronald Choquette, a com- mittee drafted our class constitution, the first such document ever to be adopted by a class of Red Bank High School. And so June came again; and all the courtiers received a leave of absence until September, when we found ourselves in the heart of battle once again. For two years and more we had fought earnestly and desperately until at last, we stood on the rampart, our valor un- questioned, as virtual masters of the castle. As Seniors and full- fledged knights, we were to comprise the leading ranks of the court. Responsibility was accepted and executed with laudable efficiency. After the senior knights and subordinates of the castle had cast their ballots, it was learned that Robert Finelli had become President of the Student Council; Cynthia Dielman, Editor-in-Chief of the Log; and Donna Komar, Editor-in-Chief of the Buccaneer. We were sorry to sec Lord Frank Hurley, Principal, and Lord Chester W ilhelm, Vice Principal, leave during that year, but we were very pleased to see the posts filled by Lord W illis Sisson and Lord Williard F. Browning. And so the events of this, our final year of training, passed in quick succession. The Variety Show filled two memorable evenings. Only a few' of the cast took stage bows, but a hundred and one others aided in the production of the show'. From the boys back stage to the girls in the dressing room, everyone cooperated to make a success- ful activity. The splendid job done by the refreshment committee in the little stand at the Athletic Field during the football season should also be mentioned. Dispensing cokes, hot dogs, and candy to a thousand or so tournament spectators was fun for the courtiers, who at the same time were rendering a great service to the class. As guests oT the prospective seniors, wre enjoyed the Junior-Senior Reception of 1955. Then came our Senior Prom, an evening to be remembered and cherished by all the knights and fair ladies who attended the last social function of the court. And finally graduation, with all its ceremonies, brought a moment both joyous and sad, as we preparetl to quit the protective walls of our stronghold forever. And so we leave, comforted somewhat by the farewell cheers of the knights who shall continue to hold the ramparts of the castle of Red Bank High School. 87 Most Popular Robert Finelli - Ann Caruso Best Personality Thornell Jones Ann Caruso • Rosslyn King 7 allest and Shortest Best Build and Figure Joseph Campbell - Wilma Bands Anthony Basso - Ruth Anthony Leonard Palmer - Elizabeth Levy Class Cut-Ups Raymond Sharabba - Elizabeth Caizza Class Flirts Dale Myers • Elizabeth Caizza ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ Best Looking Palmer Patton • Mareia Speer Most Athletic Norman Siekels • Lorraine French Most Talkative Peter Kozachok - Barbara Zilberblat 88 I Cutest Martin Brenner - Marilyn Hamlin Nicest Smile Alfred Wright - Marcia Speer Prettiest Eyes Peter Stefferson Marcia Speer Best Dressed Robert Finelli - Elizabeth Gehlhaus Best Dancers Jack Vetrano - Elizabeth Caizza Best Manners Ronald Choquette Rosslyn King Quietest Larry Phillips • Barbara Bunting Did Most for Class Marc DiFiore - Ann Caruso Most Likely to Succeed Robert Danes - Elizabeth Gehlhaus 89 Class Will We. the graduating clan of Nineteen Hundred and fifty-five, residing in Red Bank, in the County of Monmouth, and State of New Jersey, being of sound mind and disposing memory do makr. ordain, pulilish. am! declare this to be our Last Will anti Test aments, hereby revoking all former W ills and Testaments heretofore made by us. and as individual� do bequeath the following.

Witnesses: Shirley Biedermantt Lois Liebenow Barbara Zilberblat Once upon a time when knights in shining armor rescued maidens in dis- tress, King Arthur grew bored with the tiresome, everyday tournaments and summoned his magician, Merlin. “M’Lord,” said Merlin, “Today you will have the honor of being the first to test our revolutionary mechanical flying carpet. This product is the result of painstaking research and consultation with the greatest intellects of the realm.” “Let's go,” snapped Arthur impatiently. “Let's see where this new-fangled time contraption will take us.” Merlin twisted the second handle on the right, and the dial spun left to 1970. Snap, crackle, pop, and away we go! As Arthur peered over the edge of the carpet which wras drifting down into the heart of a thriving metropolis, he noticed a street sign hearing the names of Broad and Monmouth. “Well,” he thought, “tlys is as good a place as any to inspect,” so he embarked from the magic carpet and began to walk along Broad Street. He marveled at the many things he saw in the store windows; hut he reminded himself that he was now’ in the year 1970 and decided it would he best for him to take everything in his stride. He wras a hit worried about the lack of equipment for his knights, when what should hover into view hut a sign reading “Hoffman’s Army-Navy Store,” owned and operated by Freddie Hoff- man. This seemed to Arthur an answer to his troubles, so he cheerfully strode into the store. There he had to wait awhile for the two salesmen, Arthur Hebeler and William Kelioe, who were busy helping General Don Kilgore and Admiral Tracey Singleton select some ribbons for their uniforms. Soon, however, proprietor Freddie arrived on the scene anil helped Arthur make his purchases. Once more out in the street, Arthur noticed the short haircuts on the men, and he began to ponder. Here he was slaving each night to set his long tresses, when it was so unnecessary. He bolstered up all his courage and hurried to the nearest barbershop, which just happened to be a combination barber-beauty shop, run by Raymond Clarke and Gail Karl respectively. The entire atmosphere of the place impressed Arthur. While his locks were being trimmed, he overheard housewives Carol Schloesser and Pauline Lukoic talk- ing about the latest news. Ronald Choquette had just won a professional golf tournament: and that great baseball player Bud Dupree had won the fifteenth consecutive World Series for the Yankees with his ninth inning, bases loaded homerun. Those two famous engineers, Pete Kozachok and Anthony Basso, had just finished designing the new bridge going from New York to London, which was to be constructed by Ken Story and his crew. Both this revelation and his new coiffure amazed Arthur. The excitement of this world had Class Jkopfjecp Class rop t? proved to he a little too much for him, and he felt faint. An observant pas- serby, who happened to he a farmer named Roland Warded, directed him to Riverview Hospital. Once he arrived at the hospital, three charming nurses, namely, Dot Clarke, Anne Higgins, and Jeanne Smith, attended him until they could locate Dr. Robert Fisk, who was conferring with Doctors Don Morris and Joe Acerra in the operating room. Finally Dr. Fisk arrived and gave Arthur a prescription to be filled by Ernie Difiore, the best druggist in town. This put Arthur in good spirits, and he decided to visit the schools of this modern community. His first stop was an elementary school, where he had a nice chat with teachers Shirley Biedermann, Carolyn Bechtoldt, and Barbara Zilherblat. Then he toured several classrooms where Judy Guzy, E mi lie Smith, and Ann Caruso were teaching their students various phases of arithmetic. Brian Mc- Naughton, the principal of the school, explained the new system of education to Arthur, which made him very pleased, and so he went on lo tour the high school. When he got there he found two classrooms empty, for English teacher, Mary Olson and art teacher, Betty Layton had taken their classes to see the famous Marsha Dayman starring in “'The Gay Absentee” by Thom Mitchell, with costumes by Sue Bonsall. Arthur was disappointed that he would not get to meet the two teachers, hut he did see Rosslvn King, the music teacher, and Rov Olsen, the school dentist. In addition, he was able to watch the undefeated Bucs win another football game, spurred on by Coach Carl Bacon. From there King Arthur went to the Red Rank Register office. During the course of his day’s visit, he had heard so much about the former weekly that was now a daily newspaper, that he just had to find out more about it. As Arthur entered the office, he noticed two secretaries, Ruth Loehwing and June Evans, busily typing letters. Soon Jerry Lindquist, editor-in-ehief of the paper, greeted the famed king of the round table and introduced him to the members of the editorial staff: Richard Burnon, feature editor; Robert Petrofsky, sports editor; Mimi Benowitz, advertising manager; Dale Myers, copy editor; ami Marion Firth, cartoonist. The whole staff seemed to he excited by the news just received on the teletype that Betty Gehlhaus had been appointed Ambassador to Spain. On this note, Arthur began his tour of the plant. It was growing dark, and Arthur decided it was time for him to return to his kingdom, lie really wanted to stay a little longer, but he realized it was time for him to depart. He glanced at his sundial, hoarded the mecjianical magic carpet, and flicked the switch. The batteries went dead! He called in two mechanics named Rocky Marswillo and Grover Burdge to fix the contraption, and then he went on his way. King Arthur was seen in 1970 no more. 93 The annual “Senior Varieties,” presented by the Class of 1955 on November 18 and 19 at the River Street School Auditorium, was one of our Senior Class projects never to be forgotten. The show, under the direction of Mr. Edward Brown and student directors. Gay Nell Shafer and Palmer Patton, was divided into two main sections. Hits and Bits From Broadway Shows and “Potpourri” of Off Broadway. Brian McNaughton was superb as the Master of Ceremonies. We especially remember certain highlights of the show. The Chorinettes opened the show by dancing to “June Is Busting Out All Over.” Among the many well received numbers of the Male Chorus VT artetp 94 MR. EDWARD BROWN Director illoto was “There’s Nothing Like A Dame.” “Two Boys Meet Girl” with Lynn Merrill, Edward Aumack, and Donald Morris was one of the very cute skits of the show. The second dance line. The Dancercttes, performed to “Bye, Bye Baby” after Barbara Canonico sang “If I Loved You.” In Question No. 113290 Barbara Zilberblat and Betty Gehlhaus showed us what a mother must go through when taking a small child to the zoo. “The Wail Three’ kept the audience jumping in their seats and Shirley Biedermann and June Westerman performed in pan- tomime as two charming “Sisters.” We still wonder if Lois Licbenow, who played in “It Won’t Be Long Now” with Bill Ehrhart, is still waiting for her bus. The Grand Finale closed the show with the entire cast singing “Side by Side.” GAY NELL SHAFER - PALMER PATTON Student Directors 95 April 9, 1954, found the Juniors pre- senting a play entitled “High School Hero.” Under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Maxson, the play was a success in every way. The story of the play takes us to a small town high school where two plots develop. One developed around Bill Rockwell (Pete Kozochok) and Sue Pringle (Sandra Levy) and the other around Dan Conrad (Norman Sickels) and Eleanor Spencer (Betty Gehlhaus), the high school principal. Bill was trying to show his affection for Sue; hut every time Sue saw him, Hedy Hess (Miriam Benowitz) was in his arms. When Dan Conrad first came to the school, he had mistaken the prin- cipal for a secretary' and asked if the “old battle-axe” was in. This started trouble immediately; hut in the end, all worked out for the best. 96 junior MRS. MILDRED MAXSON Director Other members of the cast included Joseph Acerra, Alex Davis, Marilyn Hamlin, Marsha Hayman, Jeane Kin , Rosslyn King, Howard Rudrow, Carol Schloesser, and Gay Shafer. Chairmen of the various committees were as follows: Program, June Evans; Publicity, Brian McNaughton; Tickets, Anthony Cammarano; Refreshments, Robert Fisk; Ushers, Shirley Bieder- mann; Make-up, Donna Komar; and Sue Bonsall and Cynthia Dielman, Cos- tumes. Roberta Macdonald and Jean Squire assisted Mrs. Maxson as prompters, and John Riddle and Larry Phillips served as stage and property managers. The stage crew consisted of Gary Layton, Ralph Romeo, and Ken Story. Mr. Mcllvain and Mr. Moses assisted backstage with the scenery. 97 Lynn Kerr ■ Marilyn Hamlin Activities The Log staff, organized in the spring of our junior year, has been steadily at work since then, trying its best to make our edition of the Log one of the best ever. Many long hours of work were put into this hook by each mem her of the staff, and they enjoyed every minute of it. 98 Lois Liebenow - Lynn Merrill Copy and Faculty The officers oi the Log were chosen by those members of the class who were interested in working on the yearbook. Final results found Cynthia Dielman, Editor-in-Chief, and Jean Squire, As- sociate Editor. Anthony Basso - Leonard Wickes Photography Senior Cxecuttoe Poarb The Senior Executive Board, consisting of our class officers and representatives elected from each senior homeroom, were responsible for seeing that all the activities of our senior year were carried out. Throygh the Executive Board came the for- mation of the Film Committee, headed by Jane Wiley. Members of the committee included June Evans, Betty Gehlhaus, Carol Schloesser, Jerry Lindquist, Brian McNaughton and Rob- ert Danes. This committee has filmed events of the year which w’ill bring back many memories when shown at our class reunion, set for December 28, 1960. National J|onor octetp 100 Th esc students from the senior class have met the requirements for membership in the Edwin C. Gilland chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. This chap- ter is under the direction of Mr. Skakandy. The constitution of the local chapter requires that each member attain and maintain high stand- ards of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

Not pictured: Lois Liebenow. ii op|)omore Jfrestfjman Bance As Sophomores, we initiated the idea of the Freshman and Sophomore classes holding a dance together. Our Frosh-Soph Hop, held on March 20, 1953, proved to he one of the big events of the year. The gymnasium was turned into a beautifully decorated spring garden. Music for the evening was furnished by Mr. John Luckenbill’s orchestra. 101 The most exciting event of our junior year was the Junior-Senior Reception, held in honor of the graduating class of 1954. Cynthia Diel- man and her capable committee were respon- sible for the success of this dance. As we stepped onto the dance floor of the Molly Pitcher Hotel on that glorious evening of February 27, 1954, we found ourselves sub- merged “Under the Sea”. A beautifully painted back-drop depicting sea life decorated the room. Favors were in the shape of sea horses. Music for the evening was furnished by Mr. John LuckenbilPs orchestra. Chaperons in- cluded Miss Naoma Frank, Mrs. Henry Gar- ruto, Mr. Solomon Popler, and Mr. George Saffa. Junior Mentor Eeceptton 102 June 6, 1955, found our class celebrating together for the last time before graduation at their Senior Prom. Held at the Berkeley-Carteret, the dance was a inore-than-satisfactory culmination of our high school experiences. Gay Shafer was chairman of our prom committee. Members of the committee served in the following way: Nancy Travis, co-chairman; Ronald Cho- quette, entertainment; Jeane King and Joan Kerr, invitations; Carol Schlosser and Betty Layton, favors; and Marc DiFiore and Howard Rudrow, band. Mentor JJrom 103 i£ tut ent Council To instill within the students the democratic principles upon which our nation was founded, the Student Council, a government by the students, was formed. Since two members are elected from every homeroom, the council is truly a representative government of the school. Under the leadership of Mr. Jablonsky, advisor, and President Hob Finelli, the council meets every Monday morning to promote any worthy project that might improve student life. Originating in the council are many hard-working committees such as the Dance Decoration Committee, Lost and Found Committee, Student Hand- book Committee, and Keep Our School Tidy Committee. In the past the local council has been represented by members in both the County Council and the State Conventions. CLEMENT JABLONSKY Advisor 106 buccaneer The Buccaneer, under the advisorship of Mr. Burnet Henyon, is now in its ninth year of puhlication. It is open to all students who are interested in writing and in learning different phases of journalism. The “Biic” is pub- lished to inform the school and community of student activities. Representa- tives of the staff attend a Journalism Press Conference at Upsala College and go to the Herald Tribune Youth Forum. At the end of the year, Co- lumbia Press Association and Quill and Scroll awards are presented to those students who have done superior work. This year the Buccaneer received a second place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and this year’s editor is Donna Komar. BIRNET II. HENYON Advisor Srt Clubs On any Tuesday or Wednesday during activity period, Mr. Mac- Ilvain's Arl Clubs can be found gleaning information about the host of fascinating careers that are offered in the ever-growing field of art. At their weekly meetings, representatives from such careers as interior decorating, window decorating, silk screening, commercial art, teaching, and ceramics give to the students comprehensive informa- tion concerning the opportunities offered in these fields. (girls’ Suto Repair Club The Girls Auto Repair Club was originated this year by Mr. Dadenas to teach the girls how to take care of minor repairs on cars an do general trouble shooting.

Club The Distributive Education Club, now in its second year, was organized by Mr. Farrell to further interest in distributive occupations and to increase the students’ knowledge of opportunities in the field. It is open only to Seniors who are studying distributive education. The club eventually plans to form a state club with several other clubs in New Jersey schools ami connect with the national organization. D.E.C.C.A. ©ramattc Clubs In answer to the request for a Dramatic Club, Mrs. Maxson and Mrs. Stega initiated the Senior ami Junior Dramatic Clubs. The Junior Club is composed of Freshmen and Sophomores: the Senior Club, of Juniors and Seniors. Both groups have similar aims. In order to develop a well-trained voice and proficiency in dramatic speaking, the thespians make use of a tape-recorder and micro- phone. The groups practice choir-speaking, pantomime, and rehearse skits. Jfrencf) Club “Le Cercie Francais,” which draws its membership from all French classes, endeavors to foster Franco-American relations and pro- vide means of social contact for the young linguists. In order to attain a French atmosphere, the members under the supervision of Miss Quinche and Donna Komar, president, sing “des petites chansons fran- cais,” enact skits, play games, and conduct discussions—all in French, in fact, all conversation at the club is in “francais.” Jfuture nurses of America Club The Future Nurses of America, a club formed to benefit girls who are desirous of experience in the medical fields, was organized by Mrs. Abbey, school nurse, in October, 1954. The meetings conducted by Margaret Buhlin, president, consist of discussions in which the girls become informed on the various phases of the nursing career. For example, the girls have discussed working hours for nurses, their visits to the Children’s Preventorium, Allenwood Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Monmouth Memorial Hospital, and Fitkin Hospital. §trls 0pm Heaters’ (Corps A selected group, the girls’ gym leaders from all four classes, act as a legislative body for the gym classes. Under the supervision of their advisor, Mrs. Smith, the girls receive instruction in refereeing various games, in caring for squad cards, showerbook, and gym equip- ment. At times this club of young ladies develops into a little “charm school” for the promotion of good manners and personal poise. Under Rosslyn King’s leadership, the girls took over the pleasant job of decorating the tree in the gym corridor at Christmas time. Still more fun was had at their “bang up” party at the end of the year. Any period of the day members of the Hall Patrol may be found at their posts fulfilling their various duties. These students give up their study periods to aid the office in the numerous odd jobs that must he completed during the school day. While their chief function is to act as messengers for the principal’s office, the members of the patrol also serve the guidance office. knitting Clui The Knitting Club, sponsored by Mrs. Marjorie Ward, was organ- ized four years ago in answer to a petition by a group of Freshman girls. The club is open to anyone who enjoys knitting just for pleasure as well as to those who wish to learn this craft. The group meets every Monday during the activity period. This year the girls not onlv knitted socks for themselves hut also worked on an afghan which, when it is completed, will be presented to a charitable organization.

The members read and discuss books which will give them insight into various social and religious problems. Compiling booklets of favorite poems and excerpts from various books and collecting Christmas cards to send to missionaries in Africa are two of the club projects. The officers are Lydia Czorniak, president; Betty Rae Beck, vice-president; and Joan Walters, secretary. Cfjotr anii CJjorus EDWARD A. BROWN Director The choir, under the direction of Mr. Edward Brown, is for the first time, a selected group. Anyone may enter the try-outs, and the choice of all members is based on their musical talent and their ability to work. The choir presents several concerts a year and participates in service club programs and assemblies. All the money taken in at these performances is put toward the standing risers and the choir robes needed by the group. The officers are president, Thomell Jones; vice-president, Lynn Merrill: secretary-treasurer, Patricia Mer- rill; and business manager, Margaret Bublin. The chorus, pictured in the upper left hand corner, is an adjunct and a feeder group to the choir. It is composed of anyone who likes to sing. The chorus also makes appearances in school concerts and assemblies. WV) MB' 120 mu t iTTri i j Cfjoralcttes; The Choralettes, under the direction of Mr. Edward Brown, are a selected group of girls who give performances all over the state. They sing at service club meetings, in chorus concerts, at state colleges, at conventions, at the All State Choral Festival at Trenton State Teach- ers’ College, in the Senior Variety Show, and at graduation. They are accompanied by Marianna Ellis. Throughout the seasons the members of the Red Bank High School Band have supplied the music for our school- in the fall at football games, pep rallies, and the Halloween Parade; in the winter at the Santa Claus Parade, assembly, and Winter Concert; in the spring at the Spring Concert and graduation. In addition they present programs twice a year at the public schools and have tlie honor of being represented in the Shore Con- ference, Central Jersey and All-State Bands. The band is fast accomplishing its aim of acquainting its members from grades seven through twelve with fine music. Under the able direction of Bandmaster John Luckenbill, the organization has received praise from several local newspapers and businessmen for its formations on the football field and its melodious renditions of modern arrangements, of which the Glenn Miller arrangements were most popular. The annual band trip to New York was a fitting reward for all their efforts. The band certainly deserves a round of applause for its enjoyable concerts which include every type of music from novelties to classics. JOHN W. LI CKEWUI.L Director 121 jRajorettes Our snappy majorettes have put in hours of drill after school, starting before school opens in the fall and going right through until the Hand Concert in the spring. After working up intricate routines to delight the crowds at the football games, the majorettes, gaily flashing their batons, lead the barn! through the streets of Red Bank. These girls who brave the icy blasts, performing for all sorts of public and school affairs, deserve much credit for their per- severance and skillful twirling. SENIOR MAJORETTES 122 ELLEN LEHTONEN Head Majorette The cheerleaders, coached by Mr. Edward Brown, cheer at all the football and basketball games. The girls are selected by members of the faculty and the out-going cheerleaders at try-outs held in the spring. They are chosen on the basis of their ability to cheer, to lead a group, and to learn quickly. The girls practice twice a week after school and during the summer. They are invited to the annual football and sports banquets that are held by the boys’ gym depart- ment. This year’s head cheerleader is June Evans. Midge Cook is the co-captain. JUNE EVANS Captain CfjeerleaberS SENIOR CHEERLEADERS 124 125 .4 a d� rectut Ou� sl,,n Skeets Jfoot CoachcS at 127 CARL BACON ANTHONY BASSO ANTHONY CAMMARANO NORMAN SICKELS Co-Captain Guided by our new head coach, Mr. Boh Glisson, and his as- sistants, Mr. Robert Olshan, Mr. Stephen Farkas, and Mr. Anthony Amendola, Red Bank High School's fighting eleven took a step forward this year, winning three of their nine games. This improvement was primarily due to the “Double Wing T Formation” introduced by Coacli Glisson, an erstwhile center at the University of Delaware. Although not a winning season scorewise, it was successful in giving the hoys experi- ence working with a new system, one which will become increasingly effective for the Buccaneers. As in the past, we are proud of the fine sportsmanship displayed by our team. Hampered by a shortage of manpower, the Buccos lost their opener by a score of 27-0 to one of the strongest Casey teams in recent years. Bouncing hack from this defeat, we scored fast and often in the first quarter of our encounter with Rumson, tethering the Bulldogs on their own gridiron. Manasquan, hv striking quickly in the first quarter and then holding on for the remainder of the game, managed to shade the spirited Buc eleven, winning by a score of 13-6. The following week, the Bucs dropped another close contest to Leonardo by the slight margin of one touchdown, 14-7. 128 JESSE HARRIS LEE MOORE TRACEY SINGLETON ; -j ROBERT FINELLI RALPH GATTA JAMES GAITHER On our own gridiron, we suffered a heartbreaking one-point loss to Toms River. A missed conversion made the score 14-13. The usual Saturday afternoon game being postponed because of had weather, the following Monday found us as the County Seat, where we lost a one-sided contest, 26-0, to the Freehold Colonials. Even though many players were sidelined due to injuries, Coach Glisson’s gririders retaliated, romping 31-0 over Lakewood to score their first Shore Conference Class “A” contest win of the season. Home for our final game of the season, we nevertheless were trampled, 29-0, by Long Branch in our annual Turkey Day encounter. The annual Asbury Park Press selections of the outstanding foot- ball players of the shore honored fullback Skeets Sickels by naming him to 4heir second All-Shore Conference team. Seniors receiving hon- orable mention were Anthony Cammarano and Alfred Wright. The latter, supported by his teammates, provided us with many dazzling runs throughout the season. The team was honored at a banquet given by the Red Bank Lions Club and held at the Molly Pitcher Hotel. By displaying sportsman- ship both as losers and winners, this group takes its place among many fine Red Bank teams. PETER KOZACHOK Co-Captain PaskettaU EDWARD AUMACK MARTIN BRENNER Coached by Frank J. Pingatore, Red Bank High School, gifted with a well-co-ordinated squad, enjoyed a successful season. The Hues participated in tlie annual Hound Robin Tournament which ended in a four-wav tie for the championship and went on to place fourth for the Shore Conference diadem. The only thorns in their side were Manasquan and Neptune, since they alone were responsible for the losses suffered by Red Bank in all the Shore Conference tilts. This well-balanced squad, captained by Marty Bren- ner, had an overall record of thirteen wins and six losses. Marty, whose agility and spectacular ball-handling amazed all. was placed on the first team All-Shore and was selected as Red Bank's most valuable player. Palmer Patton, an asset from behind the foul line and a steady point-producer, received a position on the Asbury Park Press’s All-Shore third team: and Eddie Aumack, a stal- wart under the boards and an accurate jump-shooter, made the Press’s All-Shore Conference third team. After losing the first Round Robin game of the season to Manasquan by a single field goal in a sudden death overtime, the Pingatoremen overpowered the Long Branch Green Wave in a non-conference tilt. Victories over St. Rose and Asbury Park completed the Round Robin. The Bucs got off to a good start by edging the Free- hold Colonials in the first Shore Conference race. Red Bank Catholic, a traditional rival, fell by the wayside, 69-58. Our second topping by the Big Blue of Manas- Couch Pinguiore und Cuptuin Brenner quan was followed by crushing victories over Lakewood and Toms River. Red Bank rebounded from a heart- breaking two-point loss to Neptune by rolling over Leon- ardo and then downing freehold for the second time. Unable to break the jinx which Manaquan held. Red Batik dropped its third straight to the Big Blue. After trouncing Lakewood, the Pingatoremen hit for triple figures by humbling Toms River with a score, of 101-60. Nipped again by Neptune, this within a spine-tingling overtime, the Bucs concluded with a decisive win over Leonardo. Having just missed the chance to participate in the Shore Conference playoffs, the Buccaneers looked to the State Tournament to bring back more honors to Red Bank. The first hurdle, Metuchen, was licked; but Red Bank bowed to Ewing Township and thereby was elimin- ated from the State Tourney. Sharp, agressive basketball was played in every game. Brenner’s high scoring was augmented by the sparkling courtplay of Doug Patton and Bob Finelli, along with that of the above-mentioned honor winners. Bob Patter- son added the needed height: Tracey Singleton, Bud Dupree, and Jimmy Hutton were on hand to relieve the regulars. There was never a lack of sportsmanship on the Red Bank team: they took victory ami defeat in their stride. We congratulate the Red Bank basketball team and its coach on a fine season's record.

Aided by a nucleus of let termen, Phipps quickly corrected the problem of a depleted staff, caused by the grad- uation of all of last year's inoundsmen. The pitching staff was built around sophomore Tony Christiano, who had had some experience last year. The infield assignments were handled by Fred Trailtwein at first base, Henry Hammond at second, Eddie Shea at third, and Marty Brenner at his infield-strengthening shortstop position. An unfortunate ankle fracture, occurring in a practice game, deprived the team of Joe Rada’s participation. The outfield boasted Bud Dupree, our powerful slugger, at center field; Pete Kozachok, Bruce Phillips, Doug Patton, and Allan Collier covered the remaining outfield positions. With Brad Dupree behind the plate, a well- organized team was maintained.

Immediately he concentrated on building a team around the powerful arms of “Skeets” Sickels and the churning legs of Pete Stefferson, who com- prised the major bulk of the point-producers. Coach Glisson and Assistant Coach Walter Litowinsky soon found that they had good men to place in every event. Noteworthy were the consistent performances of Sickels with his record-breaking javelin efforts, and Steffer- son in the quarter and half mile events. Other dependable scorers were Tony Cammarano, Alfred Wright, Carl Bacon, Ian Carter, Leonard Wickes, Jim Gaither, and Roy Olsen. In previous years both Stefferson and Sickels were Shore Conference champs and placed second for Central Jersey in their individual events. “Skeets” set a record for the school by heaving the javelin 167.8 feet. The squad developed as the season progressed, and both individual and team honors were secured in the Shore Conference and Central Jersey campaigns. fEracfe 1 ) k NORMAN SICKELS PETER STEFFERSON IAN CARTER LEONARD WICKES SCHEDULE April 13—Manasquan ............H April 20—Rumson-Keyport ......II April 27—Freehold .............A May 4—Toms River ..............A May 11—Neptune ................H May 14—Long Branch Relays .....A May 18—Long Branch ............H May 21—Shore Conference .......H May 28—Central Jersey ....Asburv June 4—State Meet .......Rutgers JAMES GAITHER THOMAS MOOG DALE MYERS ANTHONY CAMMARANO AND ROY OLSEN ALFRED WRIGHT AND CARL BACON ©olf The golf team, composed of Captain Ronnie Choquette, Co-captain Boh Finelli, Eugene O'Rourke, and Dominick Mazza, greeted a new- comer this year, Joe Urhane. Coach Howard Brown was determined to improve his high calibre team which last year had nearly won the Shore Conference crown b placing second around the shore, and seventh in the state. After a successful run in the Shore Conference games this year, the golfers played in the State Tournament at the Jumping Brook Country Club. With four out of five of last year’s men returning, the tennis team, ably coached by Mr. Harold Potter, played twelve games this season. Singles were played by Palmer Patton, Boh Petrofsky, Boh Grudin, and Jonathan Adler. In the doubles, Grudin wras paired with Patton and Alder with Petrofsky. All home action took place at the Marine Park courts. HAROLD POTTF-W Coach tEenntS HOWARD BROWN Couch trte sports A new and different interest was added to the pym classes this year. This new interest is the Girls’ Gym Leaders Club. Each class was represented by their squad leaders and the class captains. Mrs. Smith organized this club so that the girls could participate in the planning of the class schedule of acti- vities. Softball games gave the year a good start. The games were continued as long as weather conditions permitted. When winter began, basketball was played. The basket- ball skills, rules, and regulations were reviewed so that lively, interesting games could be played during class. At the end of the basketball season, a test was given covering these areas. Tumbling, a sport enjoyed by almost all of the class, was next on the schedule. It was interesting to note how well some of the girls had progressed since they had first come to the high school in the ninth grade. Stunts that they could not hope to accomplish in that first year were now being done with amazing agility. Tumbling finished, folk dancing and square dancing moved into the schedule. Throughout the year callisthenics were practiced. The sit- ups and hopping exercises will never be forgotten. Softball was played again during the latter part of the year. To mark the finish of the seniors’ high school days, march- ing practice for graduation began. Thus the eventful year was ended. Much good fun was derived from the activities of the gym classes. MRS.
