Offering ourselves through the new liturgy, with Christ, in the spirit of Love, The quiet of an empty crib awaiting a new-born King, Seeing Red Bank Catholic extend Christ’s realm to the far corners of the world, A girls’ retreat in the solitude of Mount St. Mary’s. Happiness is . living in Christ. R e tre a t FATHER EDWARD STRANO, boys’ retreat master, brings out a point during one of his conferences. AT NOONTIME Mary Lou Smith and Richard Thompson stop in for a visit to church. IDEAS FROM THE LAST CONFERENCE stimulate discussion by Diane Hofer, Canice Creed, Judith Pryor and Jeanne Movelle with Father Kelty. 18 TAKING ADVANTAGE of free time during re­ treat, Michael Martucci, Sharon Kennedy and Robert Esposito spend a few prayerful moments in church. STIMULATING SPIRITUAL READING is the goal of seniors Robert Movelle, Linda DeSimone, Thomas Occhiogrosso and Patrick Killeen. 19 Before installation of officers, senior members Peter Farnham, Patrick Gormally, John Riddle (front row) , Frank Dougherty, Jay Buckley and Frank De Vito (back row) pause for a moment of prayer in the convent chapel. Boys' Sodality Prefect Jay Buckley reads material for meditation to James Drayton and John Riddle (front desks), Frank Dougherty and Patrick Gormally. 20 Girls’ Sodality On the church steps, sodality officers Donna Roper, vice-prefect; Catherine Schulz, instruc­ tor; Nancy Rocco, treasurer; and Elizabeth Lacy, prefect, pose for a picture. Sodality members Margaret Quinlan, Susan Kolarsick, Donna Roper and Catherine Schulz arrange pamphlets for Vocation Day. In preparation for the joint meeting with the Boys’ Sodality, the officers list topics for discussion. AT THE MISSION ASSEMBLY, Reverend Patrick Patterson, Maryknoll missionary in Korea, and Reverend Thomas McVey, Dominican mis­ sionary in West Pakistan, both Red Bank Catholic alumni, receive the spiritual offerings of the student body from Diane Oddo, Mission Crusade chairman, and freshmen Christopher Gorman and Laura Spiritual Redmond. Activities PREPARING FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, Kathryn McCarthy hangs another symbol on the Jesse tree while Brian O’Connell lights the Advent wreath. IN STEP WITH THE NEW LITURGY, students present symbolic offerings of money, clothing and food at the Mass of Thanksgiving. TWELVE SENIOR GIRLS, attending a weekend retreat at Mount St. Mary’s in North Plainfield, pose on a staircase near the chapel. “SWEET MARY, HEAR OUR PRAYER.” During May, seniors David Schneider and Cathleen Cassidy honor our Blessed Lady by crowning her queen of Heaven and Earth. FATHER WILLIAM ANDERSON opens the school year with a mass in honor of the Holy Spirit. 23 H appiness is... A report card with an i.B.M. error in your favor, . Winning first place in the Science Fair, Solving the Latin crossword puzzle without peeking, Enjoying the world of music through choral class, Plotting the graph of a parabola on a peg board— correctly, Typing eighty words a minute with no errors, Happiness is . learning. Among the crowd in the library as term paper deadlines approach are John Riddle, Mary Anne Fits, and Anthony Palermo (above), “ digging up’’ facts in the reference room, and Charlotte McDermott, Cathleen Cassidy, and Ruth Connor (le ft), searching for more up-to-date information among recent back issues of periodicals. In the spring an Advanced Placement student’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of .— poetry. Enjoying the pastoral atmosphere in one of their informal classes are Mary Frankel, Richard Thompson, and Sharon Carton. 26 En g lish Supplementing the usual four-year English course at Red Bank Catholic are Creative Writing, which gives students experience in expressing thought clearly and concisely, and General Composition, which also develops students’ writing ability. This year the school has extended its syllabus; new courses imple­ ment basic reading skills and explore college- level work. Developmental Reading, given to all juniors, strives to increase speed and com- , prehension in reading.
