H. RODMAN RECENTHAL November 30, l9l8 556 Monroe Avenue Rod Franklin C1 Marshall Camera Club l, 25 Vocational Guid- ance Club lg Football l, Swimming l, 2, Track l. 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.

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.

March 20, l9Z2 857 Westminster Avenue, Hillside, N. 1. lack, Pitch Amherst Literary Club 23 Student Council 35 Class Vice-President l 5 French Club l ,Football 33 Captain l gTrack l. 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

WILLIAM CHRISTIAN SCHIVIIDT April 26, l9Zl 857 Boulevard, Bayonne, N. I. Dutch, Bull, Bill Princeton Chess Club 4g Clee Club 43 Orches- tra 25 Record 23 Blue Book 4, Lit- erary Club 3g Dramatic Z, Football 3, 4, second teamg Basketball 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. I. Archie Princeton Football Ig Track lg Literary Club: Chairman Dance Committeeg Man- ager Stage Crew and Swimming Teamg Dramatic Club 2. 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. PAGE TWENTY- NINE g
