'cDewey,, Undecided Football, 4, Navigation Club, 4, Rifle Club, 2, 3, 4, Stage Crew, 4, Glec Club, 3, De Moley. Dewey's position on the team last fall was in the line, and with his weight and fight was a great help in making the holes for the backs to go through. Every Class seems to have some fellows that never take life too seriously, and Dewey certainly doesn't, especially when it comes to lab in chemistry. Dewey is another guy with the mania for ulab messingfl Where- ever there's something going on Dewey is bound to be there, whether it be a depanting of under- classmen or senior gathering Q? J . We hope that Dewey may always be as easy-going and amiable as he has been with us these last three years. ROBERT RHEA COWAN December 25, 1921 185 Oakridge Avenue, Summit, N. J. Babu Alben '6Beu.bH Willianis Football, 2, 3, 4, Captain, 4, Baseball, 2, 3, 4, Track, 43 Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 43 Secretary, 4, Glee Club, 2, 3, 43 Record Board, 3, 4, Bluc Book Baord, 3, 4, Varsity Baseball State Cham- pionship, 3, Camera Club, 3. MAbe made the Football Team his first year in school and ever since has been indispensable. He has played back and end, and led the team last fall through a successful season. Besides these feats, he has had the distinction of playing on the Varsity Baseball for three years. NAbe is not only an athlete but one of the most cap- able members of the Dramatic Club, he proved his worth when he pinch-hitted at the last minute for Bud Newcomb in Seven Sisters. He has a marvelous sense of humor and some of his jokes will long be echoing in Pingry's halls as far as the Class of 1940 is concerned.

JOHN BELL CHRISTENSEN March 12, 1922 Twin Oaks Road, Short Hills, N. .l. c'Chris', Princeton Soccer, 4, Bridge Club, 4, Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 4, Literary Club, 4, President, 4, Record Board, 3, 4, Current Events Club, 3, Public Speaking Contest, 2, 3, Departmental Honors, 1, 2, 3, 4. Chris, orator supreme, should receive a prize for the best memory of the members of the Class, at least for History, past and present. Ask John anything from Ancient, Modern, or American History, dates allowed, and he can give you the correct answer. ln fact, so pro- ficient are his retaining powers, that the school is considering installing John as an assistant History teacher to Mr. Bulfum. John has led the Senior Literary Club, and is a two year member of the Dramatic Club, these two activi- ties together with all his other many commend- able qualities are bound to carry him a long way in Princeton.

JAMES MALCOLM CROWELL, JR. March 12, 1920 Edgewood Road, Metuchen, N. .l. 'flinfi Undecided Soccer Team, 2, Captain, 3, Cheer Leader, 2, 3g Dance Committee, 3, Camera Club, 3, Student Council, 3. 4'Red Beard ,lim hasn't needed three years to establish his reputation as one of the most humorous and clever members of the Class. His imitations of anyone from Quasimodo, the Hunchback, to Stan Laurel, hold everybody spellbound. Soccer has proved to be ,lin1's fort in athletics, but even that did not prevent him from being one of the most active members of last year's Dance Committee. Jim is sort of at sea as to his future, but we know that whatever it may be, it will be a happy one. ROBERT TREAT DEMING December 20, 1922 112 Summit Road, Elizabeth, N. J. Bob Princeton Manager Baseball, 4, Literary Club, 4, Secre- tary, 43 Record Board, 3, 49 News Editor, 4, Departmental Honors, 1, 2, 3, 45 Scholarship Award, 33 Football, 3rd Team, 3, Football, 2nd Team, 4. The Record has had a Very successful year and much of the credit for its success goes to Bob, for of the three boys who have run the paper during the past year, he is probably the most conscientious and hard-working. Bob is always ready to help one with his work, whether for class or otherwise. He has consistently headed the Class academically, but despite his high marks has never neglected football or base- ball and this spring has acted in the role of Baseball Manager. Bob is a true friend and we know that Princeton will not, only receive a swell scholar, but a wonderful boy as well. L 1 eniom Page Twenty-one
