BLUE BOOK THOMAS CLINTON WICKENDEN --Tom, XVig-k Future: Amherst Twin Oaks Road, Short Hills Orchestra, '35, '36, '37, '38, Glee Club, '35, '36, '37, '38, Senior Literary Club, '37, '38, Dramatic Club, '36, '37, '38, President, '38, Presirlent of Class, '38, Departmental Honors, '35, '36, '37, '38, Honor Roll, '35, '36, '37, '38, Swimming, '38, Soccer, '36, '37. Tommy is always anxious to please and very consci- entious in his work. Has been on the honor roll all the way through upper school. Just recently he has gained important school offices and become quite a popular leader. His bashfulness when he speaks before an audi- ence except when he is acting upon the stage is one of his peculiar traits. VVe hope he continues with a fine record at Amherst. 9 yet. 38 . ,273 FRANK BREWS'I LR WILLIAMS III XVilly, Frankie 1' uture P G Publications Board, '37, 38 Blue Book Staff 37, '38 Assistant Edztorm Chief '38 Dramatic Club, '38 Student Council, '37, Glee Club, 35 36, J7, '38 Orchestra '35 3 '37, '38, Dance Committee, 37, 38, Chairman 38 Stage Man ager, '38, Football, 37 Baseball, 38 Irick Willy has had a fine time during his stay at Pmgry He has studied earnestlv and obtained some results He has helped with the Blue Book and arranged enjoyable dances.

THE 1938 VVILLIAM R. VANDERBILT 1 Future: Vifesleyan CConn.j Ilobzirt Avenue, Short Hills ROBERT A. VANDERBILT Bob Future: VVilliams Hobart Avenue, Short Hills Soccer, '36, '37: Camera Club, '38: Current Events Club, '38g Vocational Interests Club, '38, Record Board, 338. One never hears much of Bob except in Virgil class. Otherwise he just walks around unnoticed and silent. He plays soccer well and has taken an active interest in the Record. Bob is the bachelor of his family, and for that reason may find himself in the wrong company at WVilliams. Anyhow Bob hasn't harmed anybody and deserves all the breaks that may come his way. 4 l ootbilll, -ST: Publications Board, '38q Camera Club, '37, '38g Current Events Club, '38. Hill and his brother now come to the parting of the ways. Bob is oii' to VVilliams while Bill goes to VVes- lcyan. Bill has been swell company with his red ears vcry predominant. He left the old class of women-haters far behind this Fall. Since then he has asserted himself more. Inspired as Bill is at the present moment he is bound to make a good record at VVesleyan. 4 E261

THE 1938 HENRY VV. VVILSON Hank Future: Business 202 Edgar Place, Elizabeth Mechanics Club, '38, Track, '37, '38g Football, '37, '3S. Hank is a quiet soul and is so engrossed with his business course in Mr. Pugh's room that we hardly see him any more. He plans to leave from Pingry and enter the business world right away. It is going to be inter- esting to see how both AI and Hank make out on their ventures. Hank is partly responsible for the broken- down, greasy engine in the manual training room. YVe hope he has better luck with business than he has with the engine. 4 l LGI XF l W OLI l' Bud Future: lVilllZllIlS 62 Palisade Road, Elizabeth Literary Club, '38g Glce Club, '36, '37, T384 Yocational In- terests Club, '38g Soccer, '35g llaseball, '37, '38, Bud has wound up his years at Pingry in fine style. His industry has well rewarded him. He will graduate in tl1e upper quarter of his class if he continues his present trend. He is always doing extraordinary things. YVhen the baseball team struck a hard pitcher and was foundering pretty well, Bud came to the plate as a pinch-hitter and swatted one over the fence. He and Bob Vanderbilt ought to have a fine time at Yvilliams. 4 i283 o o
