Board members Henry Sievenson and Earl Morris are hopeful as they watch the votes come in after the polls close. December 16 finally arrived, and the voting booths opened at 4:00. The Vote Yes Commit- tee campaigned vigorously for passage of the referendum, offering transportation to the poll- ing places when needed. As a result of the in- terest in the three communities, voter turnout was the heaviest in the history of the Board, with the total number of ballots cast exceeding three thousand. Of the six polling districts involved, only the Markham Place, Little Silver district rejected Proposal Number One (The Basic School). The final tally showed 1,748 votes in favor of the proposal and 1,313 against. The proposal for the swimming pool, however, was defeated by a vote of 1,251 in favor to 1,743 against. The refer- endum marked a major victory for the Red Bank Regional Board of [due at ion, and began a new era in the history of the school district. Con- struction on the new site should begin before the end of 1972. 23

With the passing of the referendum, the ad- ministration began making specific plans for the new Red Bank Regional High School. Chair- men from all departments have met with the administration and submitted ideas and pro- posals which the administration in turn com- municated to the architects. Working with the administration, several groups, including the students, faculty, and the community, also con- tributed program revisions and additions for consideration before construction. The administrators also worked in conjunc- tion with the students on the possibility of re- vising the grading system. A committee has been formed to investigate alternatives to the present grading procedures. During the open lunch program Mr. jablonski mingles with the students.
