Tru: Pnnnua: Scuool. HIGHTSTOWN. N. J. June 9, 1957 wQ, ,yin ., Qffiffipss Dear Class! when the time comes for someone to record a synopsis of his memories, both pleasant and painful, of school life, that person begins his task in a quandary. He must bring out the best points of his school but must not be biased: he must interpret his school from an objective view. With that thought in mind, I begin this letter. To remember the high points of this past year is not difficult, for we certainly experienced many. To remember the heart-breaks - the times when our plans fell awry - is also easyg however, all of these were part of our colorful life and times at Peddie, and, as we look through The Old Gold and Blue in future years, we will realize that we benefited in some way from all of them. Regard this yearbook not as an outline of important events, but as a chronicle of The Peddie School and its Class of 1957. May it convey the spirit of our school and the essence of our lives at Peddie, for these are the qualities which we shall treasure in the future. WI- 6110-L. M. Kirby Gale, Jr. Editor

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, the date of the actual birth of the class of '57, twenty spirited boys, who are now graduating, wondered whether they would ever make the grade. Even while many people appeared skeptical about the chances for academic or extra-curricular distinctions being bestowed on us, the class took up the burden and dashed headlong into school life. Now those twenty veterans, joined by three times their number - who are no less members of the class - have reached the end of their careers at Peddie. This year, under the leadership of Kirby Gale as president of the student body and Bill Tribaldos as class president, has been pro- ductive in more ways than one. jim Thompson, Kirby Gale, and Doug Eisenfelder all worked for team victories during football season. Pete Gegerson of all the football players was most happy at this year's record. All the losses were forgotten with the stirring last minute victory over Blair after five years of frustration. In dramatics Oscar Rodriquez, Howard Kramer and Faiz Khairzada led the way for ambitious productions in this creative art. Kirby Gale and Walt Lotte produced the Old Gold and Blue that you are now reading, and Guy Butterworth and Larry Murray were two of the guiding geniuses of the Peddie News, which announced all the significant maneuvers of our class. All of these honors and activities we developed over our formative years. Marty jones's jury trials in our freshman year conditioned us to constantly changing conditions. The pleasant skeptic, Doug Eisenfelder, first loomed as Peddie's Benjamin Franklin. The Alfaro twins, jim and Ralph, were sparking the freshman soccer team and giving notice of their future performances for the varsity. Bill Tribaldos won an unusual varsity letter in swimming. Plane Geometry leveled many of us in our sophomore year, but somehow we staggered through with a few more laurels to add to the collection. Tom Walther showed up the rest of the class by going Ivy League in dress and becoming editorial editor of the paper. A shrewd judge of people dropped in our midst this year, Ed Ander- son. No one put on false fronts with him. Last year was the most spectacular year we
