We have tried to tell the story by pic- tures rather than to express all our thoughts in words. The informal pictures in this book are of the Seniors who are soon to leave Pingry's halls. lt is for this reason special care has been taken to create a book that will long be cherished as a Memory Book by the boys of l939. With our use of color here and there we have attempted to set a standard for Pingry Blue Books. We are proud to say this is the first Blue Book ever to in- corporate color. Wherever possible we tried to put new interest into this book. A very good example of this is the fine work done by Mr. los Wuyts in his original sketches for our book. lt is therefore with mixed opti- mism and pride that we offer to you our Class Book of 1939.

While not all of us have had the privilege of learning under his guidance, we have all felt keenly his strength of character and his exceptional understanding. His picturesque quotations from any and all languages when one of us has failed to prepare his homework will long remain in our memory. I-le has conveyed to us a liberal education in the ways and means of continental Europe. It is with a sense of deep gratitude that we of the class of l939 dedicate our humble effort as publishers to our beloved Abel DeC-ryse. BOARD OF TRUSTEES l.

Pingry Charles Bertram Newton ALUMNI ASSOCIATION On March l9th, l9l0, the Alumni adopted at their annual dinner the Articles of the Association. Article l adequately describes the aim of the Association. The name of this Association shall be the Pingry School Alumni Asso- ciation, and its object is to perpetuate the memory of the late Rev. lohn F. Pingry, Ph.D., to further the interests of the school bearing his name, and to increase acquaintance and fellowship among the Pingry Alumni. The first officers were: George E. Dimock, '70, President, Lovell H. Carr, '83, First Vice-President, I. Mortimer Townley, '76, Second Vice- President, Herbert E. Ivlanvel, '97, Secretary, Russell Bonnell, '80, Treasurer. The first Board of Directors was: William R. Cray, '76, Samuel Philip Savage, '8l, Charles I. Spencer, '8l, I-I. S. Chatfield, '82, I. Warner Allen, '90, Conover English, '93, Norman F. Charlock, '02, I. Elmer Heg, '03, It is interesting to note that all those in the above list still living are actively interested in the welfare of Pingry. Mr. Townley served for many years as President of the Board of Trustees. lVlr, Allen is the present President of the Board and lVlr. English is Vice- President. Mr. Manvel is Treasurer of the school and with Mr. Charlock is on the Alumni Board of Directors. Last year the Association inaugurated an annual award to be given to that Alumnus who, in the opinion of the Alumni Board, has won his letter in life. Mr. Dean Mathey, '08, was designated for the first award, which was in the form of a scroll and was presented to him at the l938 Commence- ment Exercises. Again this year The Alumni Association will award a scroll to its most deserving alumnus. g PACE EICI-IT OU R H EADMASTER X. jf! ,r. Springer came to us in the Spring of l936, at the end of our Freshman year. To succeed such a man as lvlr. C. B. Newton, our late Headmaster, was indeed a difficult task. However, with the completion of his third full year at Pingry it is evident to all, and particularly to the Class of l939, that no finer man, nor one more understanding of the student point of view, could have been selected as Headmas- ter. Among the m a n y things which have made us feel a real sense of devotion to Mr. Springer is his de- sire, at all times, to h a v e the student's point of view given to him in a straightfor- ward manner, and then to act on it in a way which has inspired gen- eral confidence. As we of the Class new experience of life future of Pingry under narily bright. MR. E. LAURENCE SPRINCER Headmaster of i939 leave these halls for a we can feel confident that the Mr, Springer is more than ordi- We sincerely wish him continued success both for himself and for the school.

PlNGRY'S former HEADMASTERS BLUE BOOK BCARD The Blue Book Board this year has been one of the most active organs ot the school. Besides publishing an annual the Blue Book handles and super- vises the taking of all pictures during the year. Many a bill went unpaid while the Staff worried, and its editor, jim Carr, went from one nervous breakdown into another. However, this year has been a happy year, and the Staff has had fine cooperation so that with our work nearing an end we tind our board just recovering from over-exertion l?l Special credit is due how- ever to Ted Syder who lent his talented services to the Blue Book, john Cerstenberger who turned out to be the Board's private secretary, and Mr. Abbott Smith, who although he was overworked with classes, the Record, Pre-College Conferences, and publicity work, found time to guide and advise the Statt in the successful edition of its book. Other members of the board who helped make the book a success were Mac Bristol and Bob Cody, the two Assistant Editors, and l-larold Thomson, the Senior member ot the Blue Book Board. Those who worked on the Book during the year at odd moments were lim Hughes, and Bob Marcalus.

One of the high points of morning Chapel services this year has been the unique announcements of bas- ketball victories, losses and future games. Bob is certainly destined to be successful in anything which re- quires or can benefit from ease ot speech. He has starred in soccer and fencing, and has managed this year's basketball team well, We hope that the Cornell debating coach reads this write-up. PAGE SIXTEEN ALBERT ALLSOPP April 4, l9l9 lO Edgewood Drive, Summit Al, Cassanova Business Chess Club 3: Vocational Guidance Club l 3 Soccer Manager 3. Our AI has tried hard to make up for his small stature. As manager of Soccer and an enthusiastic Chess player, he has contributed much time and effort. ln his years at Pingry he has regaled successive classes vvith tall tales ot his exploits. We wish him luck in business! RICHARD IOSEPH BENDER March 3, i922 342 West jersey Street, Elizabeth, N. l. Dick Princeton Tennis l. Dick has only been with us one year. His tennis reputation has preceded him, and we are looking forward to some interesting matches this com- ing season inasmuch as he won The Boys' National lndoor Championship last year. We all wish Dick the best of luck at Princeton and expect him to lead the lnter-Collegiate Tennis League. l EUC-ENE BERC lloril l8, l92l 8l5 Dixie Lane, Plainfield, N. l. Cene', Lehigh Y. M. C. A. Gene has quietly gone about the business of getting himself ready for college, without allowing outside activities to distract him. ln the two years he has been here, Gene has absorbed the Pingry spirit and has made a real effort to take ad- vantage of the school's many offer- ings. We wish him luck at Lehigh! PAGE SEVENTEEN Q WILLIAM IVICLAREN BRISTOL luly 24, l92I 6 Kimball Circle, Westfield, N. l.

Our genial class president joined the class in the First Form and has been outstanding in all fields ever since. The regularity with which his name has been read on the first honor roll is a class tradition. Altho as a plung- ing back on the varsity eleven, Mac was never daunted, yet the opposite sex seems to stop him at all points. Despite his four Pingry taxis, the toothpaste heir is as yet a free man. Better luck in l-lamilton, Mac. g PACE EICHTEEN IAIVIES LOVELL CARR October 26, I92I 607 Westminster Avenue, Elizabeth, N. I. lim, Pep,' and ul. L.

After climbing the long hill through minor teams and Lower ancl Middle School activities, Pep can look back with justifiable pride upon his two years of varsity football, his leadership of the Literary Club, and finally the editorship of this, the I939 Blue Book, Pep, by the way, is the only boy in school who can always be photographed by a time exposure.

O'Toole, Casey, Cass Dartmouth Dramatic Club 33 President lg Clee Club 43 Current Events Club 23 Camera Club 23 C-reen Mountain Hiking Clubg Football lg 2nd Base- ball l. Cass is one of those boys who makes Pingry life more interesting both for students and faculty. l-lis perform- ances in Pingry plays and especially as St. C-eorge in the annual Pageant will long remain unsurpassed. Along with his swimming mate in the suds, he was one of the school's star ends. Altho here only four years, he leaves a far-reaching shadow over the un- derclassmen.

During the past six years our class has felt the strong personality of Bob and Bayonne. The jersey City Ciants should be grateful for the en- thusiasm with which Bob has ar- dently espoused their cause. Active in many fields, Buffalo Bull has con- tributed much to the School and to the class.

The flash of the Pingry basketball courts, lack has fitted into the Pin- gry scheme of things very nicely. l-le has measured up to and even surpassed his Roselle record. His contribution to the football and bas- ketball squads has been more than helpful. Virginia is certain to bene- tit by his attendance, Q PACE TWENTY l C RICHARD EVANS August 24, 1921 414 Central Avenue Rahway, N. Dick University of Maryland Current Events Club 1 3 Camera Club 1, 23 Vocational Guidance Club 1.' One of The Captain's pet lab stu- dents, Dick has been with us three years. From the vvilds of Rahway he has brought quantities ot spec- tacular candid camera shots ot the beauties of that territory, thus earn- ing high standing in that question- able organization known as the Pingry Camera Club. Whatever he does and wherever he goes after graduation, we wish him luck! PAUL S. FALCO April 24, i921 985 Carteret Ave., Union, N. I. Paul lVl.l.-l-. Soccer l 3 Fencing l. Altho only with us this year, Paul has done outstanding work as a soc- cer player and in several other re- spects. Not only is Paul one ot the largest men in our class, but he has taken on the Pingry spirit in a big way in this first year. l-lis ability to keep one step ahead ot Mr. West in class recitations has been a con- stant source ot amazement to us all, his grades notwithstanding. Best of luck in the tuture, Paull IAIVIES DONALD FINDLAY iviarcri 27, 1922 Donald Duck Rensselaer Orchestra 23 Cilee Club 23 Chess Club lg Stamp Club 23 Epvvorth League, Soccer lg Fencing Manager l g Football 2nd Team l. As a booter tor lVlr. West on the most successful ot Pingry's soccer teams, Donald was an aggressive player. His interest in fencing has helped get this new sport ott to a good start, vvhile he has been simi- Iarly vital in the ambitious orches- tral program. l-le has maintained an academic standing which has been and will be the envy of lesser mortals.

Walt is one of the few boys who really contributes to the Pingry tradition-definitely. l-lis daily ex- cuses to Capt. Smallman are posi- tively amazing, Walt's revolution- ary ideas have been amusing us now for some eight years. Although he has been go-ing dramatic on us this year Walt will always be remem- bered for his dynamic cheerleading. , PAGE Twerirwrwo FREDERICK ELlVll'llCK CLEllVl December 8, l9l9 565 Birch Ave., Westfield, N. l, Fred Lehigh Chess Club '39. Walt Cee's constant companion, Fred is not seen at school very often, and when he is seen, is rarely heard. We don't really know the reason for his ability to understand all of The Captain's experiments so easily, but we do recall hearing his name on the daily office hour list more than once. ln his quiet way, Fred has become a worthy member of the class of l939. With his seriousness of purpose, we pre- dict success for him at Lehigh. VAN RENSSELAER H. GREENE, IR.

To Burr can go most of the credit for the fine dances this year. Burr is not only one of the most active members of the dance committee but is also a member of the orches- tra. We all feel certain that our strong, silent man will turn in a fine record at Cornell. C-EO.

We wish him every success both at Cornell and in his medical career, and be- lieve he will be a worthy successor to his father in this profession.

As manager of the baseball team he is efficient and thorough. l-lis driving spirit and scholastic ability should carry him far.

Whenever there is any excitement around school Bernie is sure to be in the vicinity. Bernie was one of Mr. West's mainstays on the soccer team this year. He has also dis- tinguished himself as the julian El- tinge of the school. Besides his many activities Bernie finds time to man- age the track team and help edit the Record. We expect to hear big things from him at Yale, especially in dramatics. jOHN TALBOT MANVEL july 4, l92l 6l5 Union Avenue, Elizabeth, N. j. john Sheffield Scientific School Record Board 23 Secretary-Treasurer of Class 33 Y. lVl.

One of the two members of our class who have been at Pingry for twelve years, john has been consis- tently prominent in all school activi- ties. His leadership in tennis, swim- ming and track has made him a wor- thy successor to his father's fame. He should be a great asset to Yale in both swimming and tennis. ROBERT LOUIS MARCALUS january l2, l9Zl 527 Riverside Drive, Elizabeth, N. j. Bob,,' lVlarc.', Undecided The most elusive member of our class has done Trojan service as taxi to Vail-Deane girl lsl, and has man- aged to get out of more appoint- ments at school than any other member of the class. Once he was discovered reaching school on time, but that must have been a mistake. As advertising manager of the Rec- ord, he has put the paper on a profit basis for the first time in years. Whetiher he goes into busi- ness now or after college, we can safely predict success for Bob. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE Q ROBERT BROUSSE MCCORIVIACK May 20, l92O i637 Watchung Avenue, Plainfield, N.

He has been more than -help- ful to the i939 Blue Book by pro- viding intormals, in this way show- ing his superiority as an amateur photographer. While not an ath- lete, Bob has filled his time to good advantage by being very active in extra-curricular activities. and has been an active organizer ot some of the newer Clubs. g PACE TWENTY-SIX ARTHUR lOHN NEBEL October 5, l92O 7l9 Drake Avenue, Roselle, N. l. Art Allegheny Camera Club lg Epworth League: Football lg Basketball l. Ever since the demise ot the Roselle Flyer, the daily appearance ot Art has been a questionable matter. The pride ot Abraham Lincoln High Sc-hool has lived up to his record there both scholastically and on the athletic tield. Wherever lack De- drick and Art are to be seen on the basketball tloor, two ardent blonde rooters are sure to be on hand. We expect to hear big things from Art at Allegheny. ROBERT FREDERICK PASSHAUS December ll, l92l 430 jersey Avenue, Elizabeth, N. 1. Bob', Cincinnati Orchestra 25 Delvlolay. As our outstanding musician, Bob has followed ably in the steps of his older brother as a leader in the new school orchestra. He has not been active in the group sports, but has left his mark on many an aspiring boxer and wrestler, and has more than made up for his lack of interest in the group sports by his contribu- tion to school music under Mr. Shrewsbury and Mr. May.

Pitch is always at his best in the football season and as a tackle spends most of his time in the op- ponent's backfield. He is famed for his generosity of spirit and sincerity, which along with his ability will carry him far. His Thursday after- noon debates with Mr. DeCryse on the finer points of the French lan- guage have become a senior tradi- tion. Pingry is proud to send to Amherst its i943 football captain! l , l PACE TWENTY-SEVEN 5 H.

Our Class Smoothie, Rod this year made the first team in football and helped the swimming team to many of its victories. One of the quietest members of our class is seen walking calmly into school somewhere be- tween 9:O5 and 9:20. No one has ever known him to be at all upset by anything, and this calmness has been a source of inspiration to the rest of us. lt is safe to say that he will get along swimmingly wherever he goes. g PACE TWENTY-EIGHT PETER ERVIN SZAMEK july 12, 1920 Sammy Princeton Camera Club l 1 Senior Literary Club lg Dramatic Club lg Record Board 31 Fencing, Captain lg Coach l. Sammy has spent most of his time on the sick-bed, but has always been a real member of the class. His wayward wanderings over all parts of this earthly paradise have proved a ready source of conversa- tion, and his part in founding and motivating the Fencing Club has been a real contribution. We look to Ervin to make a name for himself and Pingry as a literary light. WILLIAM CHRISTIAN SCHIVIIDT April 26, l9Zl 857 Boulevard, Bayonne, N. I.

Dutch has been here four years and in that time has won his way-his windy way-into the heart of the school. All the' way from Bayonne has come this cyclone to devastate the fair maidens of Vail-Deane, much to the anguish of his fellow smoothies. The terror of the grid- iron and giant of the basketball court has more than our good wishes for the future, immediate and re- mote. ARCHIBALD A. SIVIITH june 7, l9l9 33 Aberdeen Road, Elizabeth, N.

Archie has always been one of the most active members of our class during his three years as a member. His stewardship of the dances has been more successful than many of his predecessors as chairman of this vital committee. After keeping at it for some time, he won his letter in football this year as an end. He has managed one of Pingry's most successful swimming teams, and has made himself valuable to the school in many ways.

As the stormy petrel of the Record Room, Editor Ed has produced the best publication since the paper was founded. While not athletic, Ed has made up for this lack by a pro- nounced excess of other activities. His daily milkshake at the local milk bar is as much a senior tradition as the noontime nudism of the juniors. We will share his pleasure when four years hence he edits the Daily Princetonian-and the Caily Prints- anything. l?l .

Ever since he joined us tour years ago, our Tomse has been the target of many a wisecracker because of his slimness. We confidently pre- dict for him a less than tour-minute mile, a prediction based on the in- dustrious way in which he trains and the speed he has demonstrated. Pingryis future Czar ot the Coal Trust will unquestionably gesticu- late his way to world fame. l MURRAY DE WITT WELCH, IR. October 25, l92l 966 Edgewood Road, Elizabeth, N. 1. Murray, The Belch, Grinnell Literary Club 2, C-lee Club 2, De- bating Club lg Football l. Murray is one of the essentials of the senior class. As a football player and a never give up the ship 220-man in the pool, Murray has won the admiration of all his teammates. Although he is deter- mined to go way out West to col- lege, we hope to see him often around this part of the country. -ww HARRY STEWART WHELLER February 26, l92l 725 Union Avenue, Elizabeth, N. I.

Harry's eleven years at Pingry have been notable chietly for the strong silence which he has maintained. Light Horse Harry won his letter this year as a blocking back, after having won his letter on every minor football team from the midgets on up. Bad luck has hounded Harry with respect to automobiles, but he'll soon be twenty-one! We ex- pect our dashing Beau Brummel to do well at co-educated Cornell.

Of these six boys only two remain to disclose the intimate growth of this, Pingry's 1939 Senior Class. The two boys are namely jim Carr, our jack of all trades, and john Manvel, our class athlete. With accelerating speed our class rolled on to the second grade where we picked up our Hsmoothief' Harry Wheller, and the man with great ideas, Walt C-ee. All of our recruits that we picked up in the third grade have since left us. However, in the fourth grade we found Ted Syder waiting for us and were we surprised when Ted finally turned into a ladies' man. jack Pitcher, our football hero, tackle and Cap- tain, joined us in the fifth grade. Although jack was the only boy to join us in this grade, he makes up for it with his size. Bill Woodward was the only boy who joined us in the sixth grade and even he had to come all the way from Staten Island to be the only new boy. When our class finally entered the Middle School we found ourselves badly in need of new talent. Mac Bristol, our chubby baseball Captain, was the man to answer our call, As our class rolled on, and not without difficulty and problems, especially those problems of Mr. Vars, we found among our midst in the second form a wild man in the form of Buffalo Bull Cody, commonly known as Bob, who certainly lives up to his famous ancestor's example. Along with Bob came Bernie Mahoney from the wilds of Short Hills to make our hearts flutter in those feminine parts he took off for the Dramatic Club. The Freshman year saw many possibilities entering our ever-growing class. One of the boys who got a lot out of Pingry was Pierce Cassedy, known as Casey to his classmates. Another addition was in the form of a long, lanky, good- natured fellow who hailed from the wilds of Westfield. lf you haven't guessed yet who it is, it's our one and only Harold Thomson. Two of our bulwarks also popped up in our Freshman year. These two boys were Bill Schmidt, known as Dutch to the boys, and his playmate, that frisky little blonde, Bob Akins, both of whom hailed from Bayonne. ln our Sophomore year our class experienced a great sorrow in the passing of our beloved Headmaster, Mr. Newton, under whom we had been guided carefully and kindly for nine years. Although we all felt a deep grief and sorrow in this loss, we have since come to feel that the position so tragically vacated by Mr. Newton has been ably filled by Mr. Springer. ln this year new members joined our class, namely: james Findlay, one of the few scholars in our class, Burr Cireene, a master at running dances, Ronald MacMaster, a whizz with a textbook, Bob Marcalus, the class' perennial Romeog Peter Szamek, a man nobody can quite figure out, Archie Smith, a master at creating scenery, and Murray Welch, a man who needs no intro- duction, and Dick Evans, that eccentric from way down there in Rahway. By the time we were juniors our class was already of considerable size. However, we gladly made room for Eugene Berg, George Redi' Longbothum and Bob Paashaus. This year, our Senior year, we picked several boys from other schools, the preceding class, and through Post-Graduate work. Those who have joined us from other schools include jack Dedrick, Paul Falco, Fred Cleim and Art Nebel. Those who joined us from last year's class included Rod Regenthal, Bob McCormack and Albert Allsopp. Our illustrious P.C-.'s this year are jim Hughes, Towler Maxson and Scotty Cunningham. And so we find ourselves at the end of the last chapter in the story of the Class of 1939. We now close the book, turn to the front cover and inscribe, The History of the Class of 19397 IAMES L.

The building itself is large and roomy with plenty of sunlight and the most modern equipment. Besides the classroom work, art and manual training classes are held for the boys, and every day during the year athletics are offered to them. The teaching staff is under the direction of Miss josephine Wright, who also teaches the beginners in the first grade. The second grade is taught by Mrs. Clayton while the third and fourth grades are taught by Mrs. Clifford and Miss Prevost, respectively. The fifth grade this year has had two teachers, Miss Shaneff and Mrs. Shrewsbury, who took over in Miss Shaneff's absence. From its fine record, Pingry can well be proud of its grand little Lower School. g PACE FORTY-FOUR - Standing-MISS PREVOST, MRS. CLAYTON Seated-MRS, CLIFFORD, MRS.

Early in the fall, the parents and teachers held their first meeting. Talks on the curriculum were given by various members of the staff and a social hour was enjoyed. Miss Harriet Budd and Mrs. C. B, Newton poured. Parents of nearly all the boys attended. In October, the Student Council met and elected officers. Committees this time and meetings were held regularly throughout the of these committees published the Lower School News, reporting the activities of the boys of the first five grades. were appointed at school year.

A very important addition in the Lower School was the addition of over 300 books to the Library. These were the gift of the parents of a boy who once attended Pingry. During the year the school also acquired a radio with an attachment for playing phonograph records. The Fathers' Dinner brought a number of fathers to the school in December and in March the Mothers' Luncheon was held. PACE FORTY-FIVE g Top Row: fLeft to right? A. Robinson, S. Firth, F. Emerson, R.

On its own initiative it held a meeting with the Newark Academy Student Council to try to effect an agreement on athletic eligibility. They were in part responsible for the rules agreed upon by the North jersey l-leadrnasters later in the year. Each class in the upper school is represented on the Student Council. The members are chosen at the beginning of the year by popular elections, The council's principal function is to enforce the laws of the school and to deal with the problems that concern the student body. The council often consults with Mr. Springer and the faculty who help the council on many occasions. The council was fortunate this year in having to cleal with practically no offenses of regulations, Those who were in the Council this year include boys from the four upper forms. The Council consisted of: the late Stuart Porter, Third Formg Reynold Devinney, Fourth Formg William lVlcCrath and james Crowell, Fifth Formg William Woodward, George Long- bothum, and William Bristol, of the Sixth Form. PUBLICATIONS BOARD This year has been one ot the best that the Publications Board has experienced. Both the Record and the Blue Book are greatly improved over last year. The Record, America's oldest Country Day School Newspaper, has car- ried more advertising this year than in any previous year. lt successfully fought for cooperative dramatic productions with Vail-Deane and was instrumental in the campaign to set-up eligibility rules for Preparatory School Athletics. Edward Charles Syder was Editor-in-Chiet and was ably assisted by Robert Marcalus as Business Managerg William Woodward and john Manvel, Managing Editors, Bernard Mahoney, News Editor, and William Schmidt, Circulation Manager. james Carr edited the Blue Book, with the assistance of William Bristol and l-larold Thomson. The main reason for the success of both publications has been their hard-working, conscientious faculty adviser, Mr. Abbott P. Smith 2nd, who has given generously of his time and knowledge to make everything work smoothly. Top Row: lLeft to rightl R. Akins, R. Cowan, W. Gee, W. Bristol, Mr. Smith, N. Albano, W.

For the first time, Vail-Deane girls took the female parts in the play, and though a new experiment, it turned out very successfully. The play given this year was The Petrified Forestf' The leads were taken by David Nutt and Phoebe Burnham. Ronald lVlaclVlaster as the Grandfather, and Pierce Cassedy as the Duke turned in very fine performances. Due to the fact that Bernard Mahoney, a fine actor, and also Secretary of the Club, had been loaned to Vail-Deane for a part in Stage Door, he did not appear in the Pingry Play. Each year after the plays, those who play fairly important roles and many others who helped to make the play a success, are elected members of the Dramatic Club. They then form the nucleus of the players for the next year. David Nutt was elected president for i939-'40 to succeed Pierce Cassedy. This year several new members have joined the ranks of the club. These boys are Ronald lVlaclVlaster, john Christensen, Richard Evans, james Hughes, Walter Gee, and Warren Knauer. Fine work was done by the stage crew under the direction of Archie Smith, and the stage was perfectly set. Under the expert guidance of Mr. France, the cast was trained and rehearsed daily, and gave a splendid performance. The date of the Pingry Dramatic presentation was March twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth. The Vail-Deane Dramatic Club called several of our boys to their play, Stage Door, which was produced with great success. g PAGE F l FTY-TWO LITERARY CLUB This year's Literary Club is indeed a unique organization. The Club which has grown up through the last tive Years as the junior Literary Club displaced the old Senior Literary Club under lVlr. France, and continued as the Pingry Literary Club under Mr. Dimock. Always a flourishing organiza- tion, the club has lived up to its well deserved reputation during the past school year. As this goes to press plans are being negotiated for a joint meeting with the Vail-Deane Literary Club. jack Pitcher was admitted to membership in the club to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of David A. Wilson. Pierce Cassedy and john Talbot Manvel were elected to associate memberships. james Lovell Carr is President and William lVlcLaren Bristol is Secretary of the club. Chairmen of Committees are Edward Charles Syder, Nominating Committee, Harry Stewart Wheller, Special C-uest Committee, William Christian Schmidt, Entertainment Committee, and Archibald Alexander Smith, Play Committee, Top Row: lLeft to right!

Most of the boys collect such things as guns, swords, Indian relics, shells, coins, minerals, stamps, curios, and then loan them to their Museum. The Club offers its members the opportunity to meet with other boys who have similar interests. Regular meetings are held twice a month and social get-togethers occur occasionally. Trips are made during the year to places of educational interest. The Club Museum has been built up during the past seven years. Mem- bers act as curators and care for the various exhibits. The Museum collec- tion is housed in Room 4 and is open to the public at certain times. This year the Club has received the gift of two collections of minerals, one given by Mr. Clayton jones, consisting of 250 labeled samples, and the George Hickman collection consisting of several hundred minerals and a cabinet. One of the major activities of the Club is the publication of its official newspaper, The Scroll. This paper has a circulation of about l5O, comes out bi-weekly, and contains news of particular interest to new and old Club members and the Middle School. This year it won the distinction of Third Place in its class in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition. g PACE FIFTY FOUR THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Pingry School Orchestra is one ot the latest additions to the extra- curricular activities. Started last year under the direction ot Mr. August May, the leader ot the Elizabeth Philharmonic Orchestra, the school organiza- tion has made tremendous torward strides. lVlr. May has been greatly handi- capped by the lack ot boys in the school who play instruments, but this is being overcome by the addition of many boys who are taking lessons at the school. The orchestra has also been handicapped by having only two forty minute periods a week. Despite these difficulties, the Orchestra is becoming more and more ot a success. Last year, it gave a concert tor the parents, which was very much ot a success, and this year has already played several times in chapel and has been very well received by the boys. The high spot ot the year will be the second annual concert tor the boys in the school, their parents and friends this spring. Congratulations are in order tor Mr. Springer, who conceived the idea of the school orchestra, tor Mr. May for his limitless patience and great ability, and tor the boys in the Orchestra for their perseverance and fine work.

This is a triangular debate involving teams from three schools, Montclair Academy, Morristown School and Pingry. This yefar, the question to be debated was: Resolved that the Federal Wages and Hours Bill will be beneficial to the United States. Although Pingry lost both the affirmative and the negative, it was not without its share of glory. Robert Akins was especially good for the negative, as was Edward Syder for the affirmative. The affirmative team composed of Syder and Mahoney, which debated on its home ground, seemingly had the better arguments, however, the dis- astrous factor turned out to be the presentation and the structure of its points. The negative team, made up of Akins and Welch, traveled to Mont- clair, where, despite a hard fight, it was unable to outpoint its opponents. Mr. Abbott P. Smith, Znd, regular English instructor, coached the team this year, following in the steps of Mr. Buffum. Mr. Smith, who attended Bates and Harvard, was able to guide both teams and also stimulated interest in debating. THE CHESS CLUB The Pingry Chess Club has made a great deal of progress this year under the able leadership of President Bernard Mahoney: Secretary Ed Syder, and the Faculty Adviser, Mr, Dimock. Matches have been played with the fol- lowing schools: l-lorace' Mann, Cranford l-ligh, Peddie, Rutgers University, Princeton University, and Thomas jefferson l-ligh. The team consisted of the six best players: Bill Schmidt, Bill Woodward, Bernard Mahoney, Mac Bristol, Ed Syder and Bob Akins. This is the same as last year, with two exceptions, Woodward and Bristol. Next year, there will be an entirely new team, as all the members of the present team will graduate in june. Meetings are held weekly, during which games are played within the club to determine the standing of the' members in relation to each other. The aforementioned team was chosen as a result of these games. Standing: CLeft to rightl R. Turk, R. Akins, I, Carr, B. C-reene, R. Mac Master F Cleim Seated: ll.eft to rightl D. Nutt, M. Bristol, B.

THE CAMERA CLUB This year a decided advance in camera ownership swelled the ranks of the Camera Club to such an extent that it is now one of the foremost or- ganizations in the school. Under the able guidance of Mr. Pugh, a camera expert, the club surged forward. Due to an unfortunate condition of health, Mr. Pugh had to resign from school activities in the middle of the year, at which time Mr. Smallman took over as club adviser. With an easy access to the Chemistry Laboratory, interesting experiments were made with color films, etc. Mr. Smallman is very talented in this line and was a great help in the experiments. The Club was very fortunate in having several outside speakers skilled in photographyg also several of the club members gave interesting talks and exhibitions. This year, Towler Maxson was President, and Bob McCormack, Secre- tary. The other members were: Rodman Regenthal, Richard Evans, Arthur Nebel, jack Dedrick, jimmy Hughes, Scotty Cunningham, Pierce Cassedy, William Singleman, Robert Cody and Walter C-ee, g PAGE FIFTY EIGHT THE DANCE COMMITTEE The social season has been extremely bright and successful this year. The music at the dances was uniformly good and the decorations were color- ful. The Football Dance started off the season on November l9th. jerseys of the players, footballs, and other paraphernalia decorated the walls. Ernie Culsher and his Orchestra furnished the music. Mr. Springer, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Lesneslci, Mr. and Mrs. West, Mr. and Mrs, Atwater, and Mr. and Mrs. Dimock were chaperones. The Christmas Dance followed on December 26th. This affair was one of the highlights of the winter season at Pingry, and was attended by a large, gay crowd. Don Gibson and his College Club Orchestra furnished the music. The gymnasium was decorated in Christmas colors, with a number of greens and trees covering the walls. Mr. and Mrs. France, Mr. and Mrs. Vars, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Shrewsbury, and Mr. and Mrs. Dimock were chaperones. As the Blue Book goes to press, the Dance Committee is contemplating a World's Fair Dance in April. The Dance Committee, consisting of Archibald Smith, Chairman, Burritt Greene, Pierce Cassedy, Harry Wheller, and james Crowell, is to be com- plimented on its successful handling of all the dances.

RSITY FOOTBALL The l938 Football season was one of the most exciting and enjoyable, if not the most successful season of the year. The Big Blue Team this year had unusually heavy opposition, but a good scrap was put up in every game. Under the leadership of our Captain, lack Pitcher, the varsity had a very active season. The line this year was one of the heaviest Pingry has seen in many a year, however, a fairly light and inexperienced back- field proved to be the vulnerable spot. The end positions were ably filled by Pierce Cassedy and Towler Maxson. The tackles were Capt. lack Pitcher and Rod Regenthal, two of the line's bulwarks. To complete the center of the line, through which incidentally no team except Montclair made a touchdown, were lim Carr and jim Hughes, who took care of the center of the line on the defense and pulled on, ran interference or blocked in most of this year's plays. The l'ne was backed up by center Scotty Cun- ningham, who did a fine job, not only at center, but also in calling signals. The backfield consisted of our plunging quarterback, Mac Bristol, our full- back Bill Singleman, and halfbacks Harry Brown, Art Nebel, Harry Wheller, and Bob Cowan. A fine job was done this year by Ronald Maclvlaster and Murray Welch, who fitted perfectly into the line as first rate substitutes. Other boys who helped the Big Blue this year were, jack Dedrick, a fine end, and Bill Schmidt, a powerful line man, and Archie Smith, another fine end. The enjoyable times in the locker rooms and on the field will long be remembered by the members of this year's football team. ,A PACE SIXTY THREE g Top row: lLeft to rightl Mr. West, R.

Under the able guidance of its coach, Mr. West, the team battled many of the better high school teams. None of the schools in our class had soccer teams, therefore our team endeavored to conquer a few teams that have larger squads of boys to choose from. Captain lim Crowell returned to guide his team, and it was because of his excellent work as goalie that the team made out as well as it did. The forwards were almost all new members. Bob Akins, Paul Falco, George Longbothum, john Manvel, and Bernard Mahoney were the new additions to the forward line, while Martin Corcoran, and Everett Newcomb returned from last year's squad. The half-backs were Bill Woodward, Donald Findlay, Bill McManus, and Bob Reigner. ,L , The full-backs were Bob Marcalus, Bob Thiecle, George Mclielvey, Dick l ' Wapshare, and Palmer Whitlock. jim Crowell was re-elected Captain for next year's team, and Bob l Brauberger was elected next year's Manager. .' 4 l 5 ' 1 g PACE SIXTY-FOUR .

VARSITY BASKETBALL Pingry was represented by a winning five on the hardwood court this year, after a few years of basketball depression. After much fretting and laboring, Mr, Lesneski put a well coached unit on the floor, and when the season wound up, our basketeers were possessors of one of the most impres- sive Group lll Prep records in the state. With set plays revolving around Cunningham at the pivot post and Nebel at forward, the boys displayed a brand of ball which netted them nine victories and six defeats. Bob Cody was elected Captain after the above picture was taken, and he, Nebel, Dedrick, Cunningham and Bristol, all graduate this year. The coach will have his hands full next year, with Alf Larkin the lone remain- ing letterrnan. The boys started off the season with a bang, beating Stevens and Carteret Academy into submission. The only time they really looked infe- rior was against the crack Trinity outfit, probably the best in the Eastern Private Schools loop. Probably the dramatic high-spot of the season was our field day at the expense of St. Bernards, a record ALUMNI DAY crowd. The scoring was well distributed, as it should be on a passing team. Dedrick, Nebel, and Cunningham led, with Cody, Larkin and Bristol not far behind. After losing to Westfield, the team came back and took the last three games in its stride, and in the Kingsley finale, showed its best stuff this year. W ,, A.- .

The record is five victories and five defeats. Despite the fact that the swimming team had a much harder schedule this year, it managed to put up a good fight against the powerful Blair, Lawrenceville and Hun teams. The swimmers were greatly handicapped by the lack of experienced breast strokers and of a number of seconds and thirds who graduated last year. Captain john lVlanvel was a consistent point winner along with Rod Regenthal, Bill Woodward, and Dick Williams. The swimmers were fortu- nate enough to have a good relay team, which consisted of Manvel, Wood- ward, Williams, and Hamilton. This relay team was the winning punch of almost every meet won. During the season, the younger swimmers gained much experience, knowledge, and strength, which will undoubtedly prove useful next season. The lettermen were: Woodward, Regenthal, Williams, Hamilton, Peets, Captain Manvel, and Manager Smith. 1. ,kr-' Q PAGE SIXTY-SIX . gf. E lLeft to rightl l. Findlay, R. Turk, R. Hueston, W.

Last year's team was coached by Mr, Scarfati, whose services we were unable to obtain this year. Erwin Szame-k, last year's captain, took over the coaching job and has been extremely successful in training beginners to become pro- ficient swordsmen. The team has been made up almost entirely of beginners, but in spite of that handicap, several matches with other schools have been arranged. Matches for this year included Wardlaw and Thomas jefferson, Staten Island Academy, and Roselle High School. Captain George Longbothum, last year's veteran, Robert Akins and Paul Falco constitute the three regulars, with Hueston, Wiss, Cordon, and Ma- honey as substitutes. Donald Findlay was chosen to manage this year's team. We hope that this year's young substitutes will carry on the fencing team next year and represent Pingry in outside competition, and thus carry the Pingry spirit to other schools. lf they show the enthusiasm of this year's team, it may be enough to bring even greater success next year.

Bristol, Capt., C. Sauer, R, Cowen, R. Cody, R, Mac Master. VARSITY BASEBALL The prospects for this year's baseball are rather encouraging. To form the nucleus of his team, Mr. Williams has five returning lettermen, headed by Mac Bristol, last year's second baseman. The other veterans are: Towler Maxson and Bob Cowan, infieldersg and Carl Sauer and Scotty Cunningham, a battery. This leaves three outfield posts and third base, for which there are a good many prospects, joe Long, who showed promise as a reserve last year, Bob Cody, Art Nebel, lack Dedrick, and Alf Larkin are calculated to give the veterans a run for their money in the filling of the infield berths. Sauer, a righthander, and a mainstay on last year's pitching staff, should head the mound staff. Art Neibel, Harry Brown, and Reynold Devinney are all pitchers of unknown quality, Coupled with these boys there will surely be a large squad of lads, among whom a few more boys of varsity caliber may be found. The fielding is likely to be better in view of the experience of the veteran infield unit. The success of this year's team will depend mainly upon the ultimate pitching and hitting. Coach Williams has always turned out a yood team, and if this year's team learns to hit the ball, we may have another winning team. f ft , ff 11 le l xwlls -6 TC , . 4 L PACE SlX'l-Y-ElCl-lT Top Row: lLett to rightl R.

TRACK TEAM This year the Track Team will have to step out ot its class to obtain the regular number ot meets. Under the able guidance ot its coach, Mr. Lesneski, the team hopes to make a goocl record against teams that are sup- posed to be above our team's standard. The reason tor this is that there are only two schools in our class, Morristown and Montclair, who have track teams. The team is going to compete against high schools in order to have one track meet a week, and will also enter the Penn Relays, in which last year's team took a third, the State Meet on May 3lst, the Newark Invitation Meet, and the Union County Championships. The team is captained by Bill Woodward, who will run the quarter and halt mile. He will also run on the relay team besides high jumping. Another young jumper is lohn Manvel. He will also run on the relay team, the middle distances and the dashes. Returning to suptort the team is Scotty Cunningham. He will run anything up to the halt miles, and he will also run on the relay team. Other middle distance runners are Bob Thiede, a new boy from Bayonne, Harold Thomson, last year's best miler, and Bob Akins, who will also do honors in the pole vault. The weight throwing will be taken care ot by Mac Bristol, Rodman Regenthal, and jack Pitcher, Dick Williams and George Longbothum will compete in the dashes, and Bernard Mahoney is this year's manager.

The team will have all its last year's members as well as the addition of three new members who will round out the team and will play six singles and three doubles in a few of its matches. johnny Manvel will again captain the team and will share the number one spot with Dick Bender. johnny has won the Dean lvlathey trophy twice and is the only letter man. Edmund C-oerke has been on the team two years and a consistent winner in singles and doubles, playing with Manvel. Among the new members is one Dick Bender who won the Indoor National Boys' title in l937, and has done well this winter in retaining his Union County title and placing well up in National Indoor junior play. Dfck Porter, of last year's team, Caleb Baxter, Carl Holmes, David Nutt have shown up well in practice and are counted on to round out the team. Coach C-eorge Dimock and Manager David Nutt have prepared a heavy schedule of lO matches with many of the leading preparatory schools in New jersey, and High Schools in this section. The team will enter the Princeton and Cornell lnterscholastics. ..fS g PAGE SEVENTY Top Row: lLeft to right! Woodward, Williams, Schnabel, Carr, Manvel, Wilson, Bouchet.

HANS THESTRUP Chef's fifteen years at Pingry have been full of excitement for everyone who has come in contact with him. There is hardly a personality in the school which is more individual or more generally felt than that of our robust and good natured Chef, This is best evidenced by his exceptional devotion to the school, his great Pingry Spirit. It is safe to say that no home game has been played vvithout his enthusiastic cheers from behind the lines, and we know that his interest and inspiration will be welcome to future teams. MR. OSCAR BUNDSCl-lUl-l lVlr. Oscar I.O.U. Bundschuh, Business lvlan- ager of the School, vvill long live in the mem- ory of all Pingry boys, but more especially for those who habitually build up imposing piles of l.O.U.'s in the school petty cash box. l-lis domain, though not impregnable to forces beyond the law, is rather a sanctum sancto- rum which seems to the boys to be cluttered with piles of bills and books. One can be sure that no item which he may purchase on terms, or borrow in a hurry, will be forgotten by the tireless Mr. Bundschuh, and that he will be hounded repeatedly until the little bill is paid.
