Bob's Pingry days go way back to the dim dark past when the Class of 1940 first saw light. He was one of us fortunate enough to study with Miss Budd. Bob has Worked hard this year arranging matches for the Tennis Team, and by the virtue of his numerous trips down- town has been responsible for the appearance of a great many of the 5'Record ads. Good luck, Bob, but keep away from the corn cob! ALAN BALDWIN MILLER, JR. March 7, 1922 601 Irvington Avenue, Elizabeth, N.

EDRIC MASON April 5, 1920 Scotland Boad, South Orange, N. J. :'Ed Amherst Football, 43 Bridge, 4, Rod and Gun Club, 4, Glee Club, 4. If it wasn't for Bill McGrath, HBig Ed Mason might not be in school this year, for inci- dentally Bill and Ed are cousins. We were fortunate last fall in having Ed as a running, blocking back on the football team. Despite the fact that Ed's old Nash bore him and Dave Bennett to school faithfully all last fall, that antiquated vehicle has now vanished from our campus for good. When it comes to bridge Ed makes an ideal partner, for even if you trumped his ace of spades uhappyn Eddie would come up smiling. I'Iere's luck to Ed, We know he'll always make as many friends as he has this year. WILLIAM DANIEL MAXWELL .lanuary 21, 1920 106 High Street, Perth Amboy, N. .l. WiMax U. of Pennsylvania Navigation Club, 4, 'Vice-Commodore, 4. Since uMaX no longer arrives at school in an antiquated contrivance, generally referred to as a Lizzy, we notice that he is on time for Chapel quite regularly. uMax is one of our group of yachtsmen who have met with Mr. Springer as the newly-founded Navigation Club. uSail ahoy, Max, and watch out for all those Raritan Bay mermaids. s wt www eniord Page Twenty-seven

EVERETT WILBUR NEWCOMB, JR. January 12, 1922 241 West Sixth Avenue, Roselle, N. .l. HNewk Bud,' Washington and Lee Soccer, 2, 3, Cheer Leader, 1, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club, 4, Dramatic Club, 4, Record Board, 4, Blue Book Board, 4. Let's have a short cheer for the Class cheer leader, for HNewk,' has been bringing down the roof of the gym for four years with his team cheers. nNewk has been one of our crafty Ely Culbertsons and has also made his first try at the Thespian art. Unfortunately and much to our disappointment, 'GNcwk never had a chance to appear in uSeven Sistersw, after having re- hearsed for weeks. Next time we see him he'll probably have that old Southern drawl, for he's heading South to Washington and Lee. HILTON LOCKWUOD NOYES, JH. March 3, 1921 11 Kcmpshall Place, Elizabeth, N. 1. 5'Niz Hilti, Nichols Bridge Club, 4. Poor MNiz, since he took up bridge this year, hasn't been the same. Once launched on his eight no-trump career, he found himself in a perpetual daze, dreaming of the day when he would hold fourteen spades. Although we voted uNiz the baby of the Class, he really is one of the funniest guys around. He possesses the great gift of being able to laugh at himself, and when he and uPhl0p Bunting get going to- gether, it really is something to laugh about. '4Niz, incidentally, is a ninth year member of the Class, and this alone is enough to assure him success. 0 8l'll0l ff Page Twenty-nine
