Organization—Rewarded Mrs. Theodora Brown Each year as the new college freshmen return for a sentimental look at their Alma Mater, there is one room which is invariably crowded with students eager to tell their Senior English teacher their new experiences, and to express their thanks to her for mak- ing their first year a little easier. Mrs. Theodora Brown has specialized in preparing her students for coping with col- lege work. She explains her effective teach- ing technique with a favorite quotation, “A mind stretched to admit a new idea never goes back to its original size ' Mrs. Brown has tried to stretch her students’ minds a little every day. In addition to teaching, Mrs. Brown has for several years supervised many of the dramatic endeavors at the school. She had been actively interested in dramatics at Bates College in Maine, and had won many oratorical contests and play awards. “You won’t believe this,” she says, “but it all started because I was shy. But once they got me on the stage they couldn’t get me off!” Mrs. Brown graduated from Bates, where she was a Phi Beta Kappa. She also attend- ed Rutgers University, where she received her Master’s Degree. Next year, because Mrs. Brown ia leav- ing Red Bank, as are we, we won’t be able to tell her of appreciation. So we say thank you now, Mrs. Brown, for your years at Red Bank High, and for stretching our minds in preparation for the years ahead. 7

Imagination, Creation, For many of us, memory of our fresh- man year is inseparably bound with the memory of Mr. Joseph Caroselli. Certainly the spirit of room 37 is unforgettable. Mr. Carsoelli's freshman English classes sparkl- ed with his quick wit and the lively discus- sions he encouraged. In that atmosphere even Shakespeare aroused our interest. Rut most of all his classes were unpredictable. A class that opened with a quiet discus- sion of Great Expectations occasionally con- cluded with a heated analysis of the latest football game. (By the way, we never did learn for whom he rooted at the Red Bank— Brick Township contests.) But it was not all fun; there was also plenty of hard work. Many of us remember his exams as the longest and hardest we’ve ever had at Red Bank High. And his vigor- ous attention to details decorated our papers from top to bottom in that familiar red ink. But this trained us to discipline our think- ing and our writing. Dedicating much of his spare time to numerous school committees, Mr. Caroselli has consistantly helped our class, as well as the rest of the school. We will always be in- debted to him. Mr. Joseph Caroselli 6

Principal Mr. Royal Hintze Running a school is not a single job, but rather a myriad of tasks, requiring skill, tact, creativity and a lot of simplo elbow grease. Principal Royal Hintze uses an ideal combination of those qualities to make Red Bank High School the fine educational insti- tution it is. Even with the enormous task of supervis- ing the smooth operation of his school, Mr. Hintze always finds time to aid club execu- tives and advisors in settling their problems. He is a very ardent advocate of strong stu- dent government. Many long sessions with the Student Council Executive Board have shown his desire to accept or his regret to reject them. All organizations with problems know that Mr. Hintze will not only listen, but also will give sound suggestions. The Class of 1966 has come to know his willingness to listen and his abundance of intelligent solutions. We will never forget him. Mr. Hintze
