Seniors Sponsor Profit Making Concessions An imporant part of the home foot- ball games, yet often taken for granted, was the concession stand, which was sponsored by the senior class. Such devoted seniors as Greg Sieben, Frank Gibson, and Ted Sickles arrived at the stadium at 10:30 am, put in a good day's work, and then left the school as late as 6:00 p.m This service was done not only for the benefit of the fans, but also as a very successful fund-raiser After spending a total ot approximately $1250 tor the goods sold, the senior class made a total profit of almost $3500 The most profitable game was the opening game against Raritan, in which $880 profit was raised The con- cessions at football games were by far the most significant fundraisers; the senior class also provided this service at the Band Festival held in the Red Bank Regional High School stadium on November 1 and at varsity basketball games. Setting up for concessions at football games involved arranging tables and horses, boiling large, heavy pots of water for hot dogs, coffee and hot chocolate, making signs displaying the prices, pouring many sodas, and assign- ing the specific job each concessionaire was to perform. During the games these workers were kept so busy that they did not have the time to follow the games at all. Even though selling conces- sions required much work, some regular workers, Peter deGroot, Tara Brennan, Marianne Pennington, Maggie Gongora, Randi Gardiner. Tammy Woodward, Andy Peer, and Mary Beth McNeil, en- joyed donating time and energy. Hot dogs, soda, hot chocolate, and coffee were the main items sold at foot- ball games Potato chips and an assort- ment of popular candy bars were sold out of the Board of Education's van, which was parked near the concession stand Seniors also stood by the en- trance gate and went into the stands to sell pom-poms, banners, and programs, which were put together by the senior class during the summer After the first quarter of a game, students would also bring the food into the stands to sell. Bringing the food into the stands brought in the majority of the money made at each game. Senior conces- sionaire Kathy Rasmussen said, I like going into the stands because we make so much money in the band section. I also get to see what's going on in the game ' The students worked under the direction of Senior Class Advisors Mr Robert Lock and Mrs. Elizabeth Tib- bets, who was the cashier. Conces- sions is one of the biggest fund-raisers seniors have, commented Mr. Lock. We did a pretty good job this year, thanks to the energetic seniors involved and the extra help from a few mothers. During the busiest games, those against Raritan, Ocean Township and Red Bank Catholic some seniors' mothers lent a hand behind the counter in the concession stand. Their voluntary help was greatly appreciated. After the games were over, under ten students, with Mr. Lock and Mrs. Tibbetts, loaded the van with unsold items, washed out the pots in the cafeteria kitchen, unloaded the van, put everything away, and finally counted the money earned. When the money was recounted the devoted workers finally went home. Working for con- cessions took a lot of devotion, stated senior class representative-at-large Suzanne Connolly. I'm glad to know we have such willing and supportive students in the senior class.

STS Unifies Three Communities school, dealing with problems, and relating with others. After just two meetings with his leaders, freshman Robert Clark commented, STS is very good because it teaches you how to get along with other students. Marion Henderson, also a freshman, said, I like the way we talk; we talk together and everybody's into it. We've got nice leaders. Junior STS leader luanita Lewis said, I like STS because it really helps you get to know yourself as well as others. Many administrators agreed that STS was a good program because it offered the freshmen a peer figure to turn to with problems and questions that they might normally not ask teachers or other authoritative figures. Other pro- grams which STS presented dealt with peer pressure, alcohol and drug abuse, and proving self-esteem. Once a month groups of freshmen met in small groups with junior and senior peer facilitators to discuss various issues, alues. and feelings Student-to-Student was a program which developed relationships which were not based on rank, grades, or judgment, but on mutual understanding and friendship The STS leaders con- sisted of approximately sixty juniors and seniors students who. through time, devotion, and training, aided freshmen in the transition from grammar school to high school Advised by faculty members Miss Elizabeth Nicholson. Mrs Ginger Mulligan. Miss Lynn Salm. and Mr lohn Hird, the group attempted to draw together students from the three towns that attended Red Bank Regional High School (Red Bank. Little Silver, and Shrewsbury), and engender into them a sense of community. Students who wished to be STS leaders had to fill out an application, a form which was reviewed by faculty and advisors Students selected for the program attended six two-hour meetings in the summer, during which time they learned the meaning of such concepts as Focus Listening . IALAC , Killer Statements , and other com- municative skills. The culmination of the training for these students was a weekend retreat This intense weekend provided STS members an opportunity to develop more sophisticated group facilitating skills While eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, and playing together. STS leaders learned more about their fellow leaders and themselves The leaders returned home from the retreat as a circle of friends, ready to greet the incoming freshman class and offer treshmen advice on coping with high Student 27
