 On September 4, 1975 Red Bank, Little Silver and Shrewsbury joined together in the opening of the new Regional High School. The students spent their first week being oriented to the new facility. The contrasts from old to new were apparent everywhere. In place of the traditional type classroom we now have large areas designed with the ‘open’ concept. The old gym has disappeared and has been replaced by a gigantic Field House. Instead of being assigned a classroom for Study, students may now enjoy the Snack Bar and Conversation Pit (com- mons area) as well as the lovely Patio area As the week ended students had toured the Media Center featuring a comfortable reading area and mezza- nine for reference, the Science Labs. Vocational Studies Areas, the Busi- ness and Art rooms, as well as the Auditorium complete with 90 foot stage and seating for 1000 people. The overall view was brightened even further by the vivid color schemes of the wallpaper throughout the building, the contemporary light fixtures, wall to wall carpeting, and the lockers which are no longer gray but hues of the rainbow. Danny Sullivan, president of the Student Council addressed the student body during orientation week Kathy Farley, Anthony Veney. and Mark Lewis listen as members of the Student Council talk about the new high school Superintendent Mr. Harold Schiable speaks to the students in our beautiful new auditorium 4
