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

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. J. is 'cSlug 'CAV A.B.M.v Princeton Bridge Club, 1, President, 1, Glee Club, 2, 3, 4g Record Board, 3, 4, Blue Book Board, lg Asso- ciate Editor, lg Student Council, lg Honorable Mention Scholarship, 1, 2, 3, 4, Departmental Honors, 1, 2, 3, 4, Literary Club, 4, Stamp Club, 1. One of the most popular columns appearing in the Record is uln the Grooves, and as its author and originator, Al has shown his aston- ishing knowledge of popular songs and orches- tras. Not an athlete, Al nevertheless has been consistently handing down good marks for nigh on to twelve years and is a habitual member of the Honor Roll. His easy going nature and lack of temperament will gain Al entrance to any group, no matter where he may be. : i 1- - , .,ull1k, liiiissz

As President of the Dramatic Club, he played a dashing young Lieutenant in uSeven Sistersi'-incidentally he had to kiss eight of the female members of the cast at one time or another. Last year Dave managed the championship Tennis Team, which lost only one match. He stands alone as our one non- New Jersey Senior-a claim that wasn't his last year. Anyway, here's wishing you lots of luck at Hanover, Dave. ALEC DEACON PENNY March 10, 1923 Summit Road, Elizabeth, N. J. ufllecn Amherst Swimming, 4, Navigation Club, Scouts, De- partmental Honors in Algebra and French, 2. Although this is the first year that Alec has gone out for swimming he has proved himself one of the highest point winners on that team. We donlt know at this point how the little Penny-Williams guerilla warfare is faring, but Alec and Dick had a great little time during our more frigid months in the after-lunch Senior snow fights out on Parker Road. Alec is a boy who's lots of fun and not in too noisy a way. We Want to Wish him plenty of luck.
