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.
