Upon graduation from Princeton Univer- sity, Mr. Schwartz became assistant to the Presi- dent of that school for one year and lat-er assist- ant to the Dean of the College and to the Dean of the Faculty for three years. He then went to the Chicago Latin School for four years, teaching English, history, and Latin. Mr. Schwartz has had additional administrative experience, having been associated with the Hun School in Princeton as assistant headmaster and immediately before coming to Pem-Day, having held the position as headmaster of the Allendale School of Rochester, New York, for five years. His record there showed marked progress for the school. Mr. Schwartz is married and has three children, a girl sixteen, and two boys, ages thirteen and eleven. Pem-Day students have been instilled with a great sense of honor and loyalty to the school by our headmaster. His strong belief that P.C.D. students should, at all times, act in a way that befits scholars and gentlemen, has been trans- ferred to all of us. He has emphasized the ac- ceptance of responsibility in both small and large matters as a major part of a boy's develop- mental process. He has encouraged student gov- ernment, believing that P.C.D. students should govern themselves as much as they are capable of doing. He also emphasizes the importance of religion in student conducted chapel services twice a week. Striving to have the latest informa- tion on colleges, he makes several trips a year which include tours of colleges and meetings with other headmasters and educational leaders. Besides making the policies of the school, Mr. Schwartz also has the rare ability to mix with students and faculty members as their friend. His unlimited capacity for always having the time to sit down with students and discuss their individual problems, no matter how small they may be, has gained him the respect and admira- tion of student and teacher alike. We are proud and fortunate to have Peter A. Schwartz as headmaster of Pembroke-Country Day School.

Students, faculty, alumni, and parents join in wishing him a speedy recovery. Also since this was Doc's last year at Pem-Day we of the Raider dedicate this page to him. Doc came to Pem-Day from Lawrenceville School in 1924 to teach Latin. Since the faculty was very small at that time, he also coached the baseball team and occasionally the soccer team. His knowledge of Latin was profound, as his studies were backed by his being a College Board reader for many years. As a Latin teacher he became well known throughout the whole City, and his services as a tutor were much in demand. ln connection with this, he had a tutor- ing camp at Lake Tomahawk, Wisconsin. But Doc has made even a deeper mark at Pem-Day by his gcnialty and friendliness. He not only made a dead language living to his students but also was a good friend to them. He was always ready to put in extra time with a boy who needed help, or to give a boy who needed some extra money a job in his yard. His class was one of the things to be anticipated every day. He taught but at the same time he kept the class from becoming tedious by his ready wit. His sayings will long be remembered by his students, especially the ubad applei' and wllhe Good Ship Cuspidorf' Nor will his students forget his formula of teaching which never varied and his addiction to crossword puzzles. Many a time, while his pupils have sweated over one of his tests, Doc has sweated over a crossword puzzle, looking up only at the end of the period to call for the umagnus opusfi He will also be remembered by faculty and parents alike for his piano playing. Doc was known and loved by generations of students at Pern-Day for his kindness and his genuine affection for his students, and it can well be said of him lin respect to Latin at Pem- Dayj Murbem latericiam invenit, lnarmoream reliquitfi - MHe found the f-ity brick and left it marblef,
