Booster Club Seeks Recognition Making its presence known at the Red Bank Regional community, the 1986-1987 Booster Club took steps to further improve its own programs and to institute newer ones. The Booster Club, whose fundraisers and donations funded sports awards din- ners, scholarship programs, and other organizations requiring monies, has not been in the spotlight recently, but as President Mrs. Holly Kuhn stated, We made an effort to gain more membership and volunteers; this way, we hoped to be able to aid more school organization's needs. Club sponsors adopted their own jackets during the year with the Buc- caneer emblem boldly displayed. To increase interest in the club, more fundraisers were held to raise the amount given in the current $500 scholastic scholarship. Trips to Atlan- tic City were offered, and the ever successful Chinese Auction was held in January. Merchants from the various sending districts offered mer- chandise to be raffled off to those at- tending the Auction. This year tickets to Broadway shows were raffled and a hi-fi stereo car radio was won by Miss Mary Larsen. During the summer months, the Booster club donated funds to the school basketball clinic under the supervision of coaches Pizzuli and Johnson. Banners for the sports teams were also purchased. To provide a communication link between coaches and parents, the Club organized the Evening with Dick Martin program in October. Coach Martin held a frank discussion with parents and many questions were fielded. After the busy year of organization and new program orientation, the Booster Club members were happy with increasing their treasury and gaining new members. Commented Mrs. Kuhn, Financially and overall we had a great year; there was a lot of cooperation and I really feel that peo- ple noticed us.

Behind the Scenes of The Skin of Our Teeth Ah, the Junior play! This year it was The Skin of Our Teeth , a great pro- duction about the history of the family as shown through the trials and tribulations of the Antrobus clan, and on December 11-13, everything went smoothly. But what really goes on- behind the scenes? What makes the junior play a great production ? Is it really a junior play or a conspiracy led by Alex McMurray? We took our Log camera crew, Donna Rizzo, to probe behind the scenes, and a Log editor to get the real story. Q: Miss Vera Vaughan, you were in the play, in fact you were one of the animals; was this acting or were you possessed by something to make you do such a great job? A: (after a lengthy pause) My ex- tensive research among snakes and lizards attending Red Bank Regional High School helped me to interpret the role of a prehistoric reptile. Q: Next, Erin Acheson. You were on stage crew making props for the play, did you really make those sets or were they bought to impress your family and friends? A: After spending much of my time at an off-Broadway theater, I was able to reproduce many of the necessary sets. Q: Lastly, Alex McMurray. You seem to be the core of all this.Inside information tells us that the play is really a cult led by you. Is this true? A: I . . . have no . . . comment . . . !!!(Mr. McMurray chose to use language which could not be printed in this article. Some of his answer has been edited for the discretion of our readers.) In any event, the play ran smoothly those three nights and provided entertainment for many. It was not all fun and games,though, there was hard work that went on behind the scenes to make it a great success. Ac - tors and advisors spent long hours afterschool and at night practicing their lines and polishing up their per- formance. Working with a tight schedule, the stage crew had to com- plete the necessary scenery and props before opening night. It wasn't easy to finish on time, said, junior, Jim Leavitt, We had to work until the last second, but all in all we finished on time, and did a job we could be proud of. Another group who was proud of their success was the Junior Class for raising all the money and producing an extraor- dinary program for the play. So, it was not all a celebration, but next time you see a play think about what really goes on at the cast party. ABOVE: Is this the cast party?
