Mr. Willard Sisson Guidance Director Mrs. Ruth King Mr. Clement Jablonski Mrs. Edith Olsen Guidance Problems of all types are brought by students of Red Bank High School to our competent guid- ance staff which is always willing to offer helpful advice. Their cheery countenances and enthusiasm help to alleviate the concern over problems which seem so weighty. “College Night” and “Career Night” are sched- uled for members of the sophomore and junior classes. In the freshman and sophomore years the student finds the department performing many special services in an effort to give him a firm start in this new phase of his school career. The tensions of college bound juniors are eased by the presentation of a number of assemblies deal- ing with all aspects of college entrance. The class of 1962 extends its heartfelt thanks to Mr. Willis Sisson and his staff for the time and energy which they have so enthusiastically and devotedly rendered us.

M iss Marie O'Connor Mr. Robert Olshan Mr. Jacob Needle When students graduate from high school, bound either for college or work, their ability to express themselves well in speaking and in writing is one of their most valu- able assets. Our English Department includes rigorous courses in its itinerary, designed to develop our knowledge of speech, functional grammar, and creative writing. Public Speaking is offered as a separate course in the department. Appreciation of the great American and English works of Literature is developed on each grade level. English Literature and American Literature courses are open to juniors and seniors. The comprehension, summarization and evaluation of each selection is emphasized in the course. Seniors, studying Shakespeare in class, attended a per- formance of “Macbeth” at the Shakespearian Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut. A presentation of “The Merchant of Venice” was seen by the sophomores. 15 Miss Elizabeth Nicholson
