During the past eight months, we have endeavored to keep our theme-simplicity upper- most in our mind and in the layouts and pictures that have gone into the BLUE BOOK. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded in publishing a book that shows Pingry as it is seen through the eyes of the boys and that will let you remember Pingry as you have seen it during your years in school. This publication has cost us a great deal of time that might have been spent otherwise, but even while Working on this publication we have experienced pleasure and gained knowledge. Even more important than our aim of keeping the hook simple in design and theme, we have tried to compile a volume that will please you, we hope we have succeeded, but after all, that is your verdict to decide. eakcalfion A personality that has been an integral part of Pingry life for many years-an individual loved and respected hy students, alumni and fellow strategists-a man Whose ideals of sportsmanship, understanding, tolerance and fair play have reached the world at large through the medium of the countless graduates who have passed through his classes and caught his spirit. To the late Clinton I. Smallman, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-one proudly and affectionately dedicates this volume. Page Five Page Six if lawrence ,winger Much of our class' success in Pingry has been due to the non-ceasing efforts of our headmastcr, Mr. Springer. While we have had more actual contact with Mr. Springer during the past year than we have had at any other time during our school careers, his interest in us became apparent when he came to Pingry in 1936. ln addition to running the school as a whole, Mr. Springer has proven him- self to be wise counsel when we have approached him about personal problems. Perhaps our greatest task this year has been to make our plans for college and to this end, the headmaster has proven himself more than normally proficient in advising us. Besides his many duties and obligations as headmaster, he has again this past year held the weekly Current Events classes and Navigation Club meetings. Both these organizations were formulated last year and have given many boys and Mr. Springer a chance to know each other better through the medium of informal conversations. In leaving the school to wend our ways elsewhere, all we can do is thank Mr. Springer sincerely for all that he has done for us and wish him the best of luck in his many future years as Headmaster of the school. xjurilfeeri CONOVER ENGLISH A.

September 28, 1922 223 Highland Avenue, Newark Nick', Princeton Football 3, 43 Hobby Club 3, Debating Team 3, Record Board 1, 2, 3, President of Class 1, 2. Hailing from Newark, Nick has made his way to the Pingry doors for many a year. Recognized as one of our most respected members, Nick was president of the class for two years. He did such a good and efficient job of leading our great class that his governing will never be forgotten. Always a willing friend and companion of the younger boys, he is recognized as the idol of the Middle School. During his two years on the Varsity Football Team, Nick made a rceord that few will ever surpass. On his way to Old Nassau, Nick is one member of the class who will never fade into obscurity.

'cflndyv Hamilton Football 4, Record Board, Circulation Manager 3, 4, Rifle Club 2, 3, Chess Club 2, 3, Camera Club lg Manager, Stage Crew 4, Navi- gation Club 3, Technical Board 4. One of the bigger fellows of the Senior Class, uAndy has made an everlasting impression upon us. His experiences in American History have reverberated throughout the halls, and are known to one and all. Although he has participated in many activities in school, it wasn't until last fall that we realized What he could do. We saw him on the gridiron and were astounded at his exhibition as varsity tackle. Charter member of the uBrotherhood of Elec- tricians , HAndy also worked very hard arranging the set for a4M3l'glH For Erroru. His amialiility and happy-go-lucky ways will take llllll far at Hamilton. Page Twelve PIIXIGRY 'I' + +- + + 'X-'! !-'! X'+++'!-'!

As end on the Football Team and catcher on the Baseball Team, Jack has proven himself to be versatile whenever athletics are concerned. His love of fun and a good joke have kept the Literary Club and the Student Council from becoming over- serious organizations. Often seen with one or two or more mem- bers of the fairer sex, MBake is one of forty-one's pace-setters. He is headed for Princeton after one more year here and we are sure that he will be as successful there and in whatever he undertakes when he is through college as he has been here. HOMER BOBILIN April 18, 1923 217 Locust Avenue, Garwood HBob', Duke Quiet as a little rabbit, uBob has made his way through one year at Pingry, stopping along the way to engage in numerous past- timcs. We are sorry that we know so little about him, but what we do know is all to his favor. Hereis wishing him luck at Duke.

Aside from a one year absence, during which time Toni de- cided he liked Pingry better than the school he was attending, Toni has been a Pingry boy. One of our few three letter men, he has won his letters in football, basketball and baseball, in all of which he played both during his .lunior and Senior years. Besides being Sports Editor for the RECORD and President of the Literary Club, Toni had the title Vice-President tacked after his name this year for that is the esteemed position he holds in our class. His level head and keen mind have made him first in the class scholastically and I am backed by 46 other boys when I say that we will be sorry to lose our quarterback to Hamilton. HARRY BERNHARDT BROWN December 21, 1922 76 Grove Street, Elizabeth uDuke,' Franklin and Marshall Football 2, 3, 4, Captain 45 Baseball 3, 4, Glee Club 4. The 'ADuke'7 as Harry is known to us, stands out in our minds as our hard hitting halfback. As Captain of the 1940 Football Team, he led it through a glorious season and now that that is over, he is preparing to singe the air with hot balls thrown madly from the pitche1 s box. Harry is interested in everything that happens at school, and is always present at social gatherings, accompanied by one known as the HDucl1ess77. Happy-go-lucky Harry has won our hearts here at Pingry and will do so wherever he goes.

J. NOSH, Bundsch', Pace Manager, Football 4, Manager, Track 4, German Club 43 Athletic Executive Committee 4. uBundsch is one of the more silent members of the class. He has little to say but what he says reaches home and makes us realize all the more what a valuable addition to our class he is. HOS7' proved to be a very excellent football manager last fall and we are looking forward to things equally as great with regard to track this Spring. Pace is waiting for you, Oscar, so good luckl HAROLD MACKAY CASHMORE October 22, 1923 1436 Concord Place, Elizabeth '4Mac,' United States Naval Academy Navigation Club 45 Orchestra 4, Dramatic Club 4. MlVfac has divided his time between school and taking entrance exams for Annapolis, or at least so it seems. As a member of the Navigation Club and Orchestra, a'lVfac'7 has installed himself in Pingry very swiftly. He is also a aflohn Barrymorew of no small fame. His performance in the role of Professor Bhaer i11 uluittle XVomcn, the Vail-Deane play has aroused never ceasing applause and praise from those who were on hand to witness the event. NMac is destined to become a sailor, and our Scotchman has our very best wishes for a calm sea. Good luck, H. MacKay! Page Fifteen HERBERT SHANK CHASE, Jr. March 21, 1923 706 Wiestminster Avenue, Elizabeth 5'Chet,,, HNibs,, Cornell Football 43 Camera Club 1, 2, Record Board 4. Rival of Gene Krupa, our drummin' man, Herb, is the number one hep cat of the forty oners. Author of the column entitled uln the Groovesw which appears in the RECORD every two weeks, uChet,' has made himself heard. Herb tears around town in a '40 maroon Chrysler convertible and is the positive envy of us all. Tall, of moderate temper, and always friendly, Herbie will get along in any corner of the globe.

In the middle of his Junior year, Bob was called upon to as- sume the leadership of the class and has done one swell job ever since. 'aComp,' is one of our dynamic personalities and has been extremely active in just about everything that one could imagine. His fine sense of humor has been heard and appreciated by all and we feel confident that those in Princeton will find him as we have found him here . . . cheerful, sportsmanlike, humorous, kind and intelligent.

April 26, 1923 652 ,leHerson Avenue, Elizabeth G'Critch',, '6Bill,' Stevens Institute of Technology Glee Club 4. Bill formed an important addition to our class this year. Of late, we have found him studiously browsing over Math books due to the fact that at the outset of the year hc was elected President of that not to affluent organization known as the Arithmetic Club. Critchi7 has decided that about the most important thing in his life is to build bridges or whatever engineers do, and consequently plans to enter that veritable encyclopedic college of engineering knowledge, Stevens, next fall. REYNOLD IRETON DEVINNEY, JR. November 22, 1922 365 Kilsyth Road, Elizabeth uDev',, HRen,, Duke When visitors enter the school, the frequent query is MWho is that handsome looking fashion plate? To this question we respond one word uDev . One of the most original members of our class, HRen has been an ever present influence of the Student Council, having been a member of that organization since our Freshman year, when he also won the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Medal. When spring comes, a familiar sight is MRen out on the baseball diamond pitching hot curves at the individual behind the bat. It is not hard to understand why L'Ren likes to pitch, he can hit a bull's-eye in almost anything. Happy days at Duke, '4Dev7'. Page Seventeen GERALD MARTIN DRISCOLL December 9, 1923 19 Pingry Place, Elizabeth 6'Gerry,,, HDris,' Amherst Bridge Club 4, Record Board 3, 4, Blue Book Board 4, Forum Committee 4, Debating Team 4. G'Gerry was one of the boys who was present on opening day in September, 1929, when the Class of 1941 assembled for the first time. In spite of his quiet nature, Gerald has been one of the most dependable forces which has raised the RECORD to its present position. We cannot go by without a word about HGerry's splen- did work on this publication. He has done much to make this volume possible and We are deeply grateful for all that he has done. uGerry'7 aspires to enter Amherst and we are confident that he will be as much of a success there as he has been here. THOMAS R. EVANS, JR. April 5, 1923 Lake Avenue, Rahway 66T0l7l,, Undecided Tom is seldom heard from, but his presence Within Pingry's walls is continually being felt. Athletics is where Tom's real ability comes to light. He is a tower of strength and were there a boxing or Wrestling team i11 school, Tom Would, Without doubt, be captain of either or both. He was a regular l'Gibraltar at end on the Football Team last fall. Although his plans for the future are still in the state of formation, TOIIIUS good nature is sure to carry him far.

Johnny seems to be our best example of perpetual motion. One need only to turn around to see Gersty,' tearing down the hall at breakneck speed on one mission or another. John has been on the BLUE BOOK BOARD for three years and is the Editor-in- Chief of this book. His Thespian ability came to light in last year's Vail-Deane play MSeven Sisters and this year he portrayed a proud but somewhat unexperienecd father in the same school's produc- tion of '4Little W0HlCH.77 Outside of school, MGersty seems to be some body's chief rival for somebody. lt's a hot race and we are waiting to see who wins. ROBERT HAMPTON GIBSON January 20, 1924 85 Summit Road, Elizabeth HGibH, '6Bob', P. G. Airplane Club 1, 23 Rod and Gun Club 3, 4. We sometimes wonder why we still have Bob with us after some of his horendous hunting trips with his Fifth Form crony, but his active participation in the Rod and Gun Club and his skill in handling a gun, along with that of the Fifth Formerls, are the two reasons that let us understand why Bob is flourishing today. A colorful note was added to Parker Road one morning last fall, when Mr. Gibson drew up in a ufiren1an red convertible he picked up out of some junk heap. The jalopy has held together so far, how- ever, and we are sure that it will in future years as we are sure that Bob is certain to be successful. Page Nineteen RICHARD LEROY HAGADORN August 21, 1923 746 Livingston Road, Elizabeth uffagu, '6Dick Lehigh Basketball 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4, Dance Committee 4. When one sees a streak of brown, red and white zooming up Union Avenue in the general direction of Newark, we know that the occupant of that new Studebaker is Hllagw heading for a date with whom? Dick has proved himself a worthy investment as far as basketball and baseball are concerned, for he has been one of the mainstays of both teams for two years and has helped those teams win many a victory. This yearls illustrious Dance Committee has further been enhanced by the presence of MHag who is in no small part responsible for our successful dances of the past year. Dick is headed for Lehigh where he will train for business. 1 bet he'll be able to sell anybody anything! THEODORE TELFER HANLON January 30, 1923 869 Livingston Road, Elizabeth G'Ted,, Syracuse Baseball 2, 3, 4, Captain 4, Basketball 3, 43 Soccer 4. Ever since Ted entered Pingry, he has been active in two of the three major sports. As a star on the 1940 basketball team and as an even better player on this yearls team, his ability has shown through in the number of points he has scored and the fine team- work he has displayed. As Captain of this yearis Baseball Team we are expecting a lot of homers. 'We know that uTeddy and his inseparable pal, Joe Long, have combed thoroughly that section of Elizabeth for enchanting members of the fairer sex, but as yet we have seen no tangible results except for Nancy, who, most un- fortunately, doesn't live in that section of town. Ted has chosen Williams in which to further education, and we are sure that they will be as glad to see him come as we are sorry to see him go. Page Twenty PIIXICERY 4' v -r . :- . 7. NZ V .r +-X-++++++++'!'+-X' 'Z' ROBERT MASON HILL August 18, 1922 750 Balsam Way, Union I-Iillyw Princeton Football 45 Literary Club 4, Dramatic Club 4. Although this is Bolfs first year in Pingry, his fine disposition and good sense of humor combined with the other characteristics that let us receive him with open arms, he has fitted right into a vacancy that apparently was waiting only for him to come and fill. His splendid work in Q'Margin For Error showed that he had talent along that line, whereas his proficiency on the Football Team has helped that team to win many a victory. It has been rumored around school that Bob's primary ambition is to become a diplomat. We are sure that we will succeed, just as any person like Bob would. Good luck at Princeton! CARL EDGAR HOLMES, JR. May 24, 1924 966 Park Avenue, Elizabeth 'GH0nwr,' Undecided Swimming Team 2, 3, 43 Captain 4, Tennis 2, 3, 4, Bowling Club 3. During the three years that uHomer has been with us, he has shown us that his chief interest lies in sports with but one excep- tion. What could that cxeeption be, Carl? When it comes to swimming and tennis, however, there is almost none better in the class than Carl. His best friend in school seems to be ustubbyw without whom he is seldom seen. Although as yet he has given no indication as to what he is going to do when he leaves Pingry, we are sure that he will be a success at whatever he decides to undertake. Page Twenty-one EDWARD ROYAL HUGHES May 5, 1922 455 Mt. Kemble Avenue, Morristown Hughes,,, Tubby,, Union Football 43 Stage Crew 3, 4, German Club 4, Hobby Club 3, De- bating Team 3, Record Board 2, 3, 4. Ed is one of the many fellows who daily jostles between here and that community that lies out in the sticks, Morristown. Math and Science seem to be the two fields in which he is most proficient, and as a member of that rather vague organization known as the uBr0thcrhood of Electriciansf' he is largely responsible for what happens behind the stage during presentation of Pingry dramatic epics. The name Tubby We feel is well-deserved, for as one of the blockers on the Football Team last fall, he had members of the opposing team crumbling with trepidation at the thought of his hulk smashing down upon them. Best of luck at Union, uI'Iughes. WILLIAM HAMILTON INGLIS September 23, 1922 617 Lawrence Avenue, Westneld 5'Willie,,, f'Coach Lehigh Literary Club 43 Secretary 4, Rifle Club 4, Secretary-Treasurer 4, Bridge Club 3, 4, Record Board I, 2, 3, 43 Blue Book Board 3, 43 Camera Club I, 2, Forum Committee 3, 4, Secretary 4, Technical Board, Chairman 4, Track 3, 4, Departmental Honors 2. Bill accompanied by Tom Rogers arrives from Westheld every morning in a glistening blue piece of steel which miracously has the shape of a car and which even more miracuously replaced the rather doleful looking combination of rubber and steel that previ- ously had been anehored out in front of school. Bill is a master hand at photography and many of the candid pictures in this book are a result of his skill. He can rival seriously almost any bridge champion in the country and the minutes that he takes at the Literary Club meetings are really works of journalistic art. Best of luck at Lehigh, Bill!

Bob is the kind of a fellow who can take a radio apart, put it back together again, and get sensible noises to come out of it when he is all through. As one of the most prominent scientific geniuses of the class, he has had much to do with the lighting and technical sound elfects that make the Pingry plays the successes that they inevitably are. Besides this, he is one of the top men scholastically and l don't see how anybody coulql wish for much more than that. FREDERICK PAUL LEGGETT April 28, 1922 Hemlock Road, Short Hills Freddic,', 6'Leg,, Nichols Junior College Stamp Club lg Rod and Gun Club 23 Blue Book Board 43 Business Manager 43 Record 3. Fred has a terrific responsibility on his shoulders this year as Business Manager of the BLUE BOOK. Practically all of the ads in this book are a result of his winning smile and engaging personality. As far as sports go, HLeg is an ardent follower of all those that occur during the winter. Perhaps his favorite is ice hockey in which he engages with courageous skill and reckless abandon. Fred is a friend of Frank Daley, owner of the well- known uMeadowbrook and as a result of this acquaintance we are sure that we have increased the MMeadowbrook7s profit one hundred percent. Page Twenty-three WADE BARTON LEWIS August 17, 1922 1008 Salem Avenue, Hillside HBarf, University of California Football 4, Glce Club 4, Dramatic Club 4. When Bart came to Pingry last fall, he brought with him what is perhaps the most outstanding voice Pingry has heard come from one of the boys in many years. His voice and acting ability carried him into a feature role in the Pageant and 'alVlargin For Error. He proved himself to be an A-1 football player last year as a star in the backfield. Bart is heading in the general direction of Holly- wood and we bet that before long we will be reading of a new pic- ture in which Bart is being starred. JOSEPH VINCENT LONG, JR. December 30, 1923 115 Hillside Road, Elizabeth Joey, Vince,' Notre Dame Baseball 2, 3, 4, Basketball 3, 4, Captain 4, Soccer 4, Camera Club 2, French Club 4. Maybe Joe isn't the best biologist in the world, but he cer- tainly knows his stuff in sports. As captain of the Basketball Team this past season, he led the quintet through an unusually good season. Now that that is over, we are looking forward to the base- ball season which hasn't started as yet. Joe is keenly interested in all the activities fsociall around school and we know that this interest will carry him far in Georgetown. Page Twenty-four PIINIGRY V W' v T' 'r V T ,L . H Ja .

Lus belongs to that rather large organization of Pingry drivers down as the G'CoWboy Club? As a matter of fact he is one of its most prominent members, and although we have seen no tangible results arising as a result of belonging to it, We certainly bopc that We never Will. Eric is one of our track stars, being par- ticularly proficient With the discus and shot-put. In non-ath1c'ic lines, HLust is an irreplacable member of the stage crew, as he Worked hard last Winter to get the set for the annual play put together. Our best wishes for happiness and success follow him to Lafayette. 4 EDWARD NICGRATH June 17, 1923 '829 Stanton Avenue, Elizabeth HfVlac,, Pace Institute 'GlVIac has been at Pingry only one year, but in that short span of time has established himself as the long-haired music critic and amateur historian of the class. He is a great guy, loud only in his clothes and his skill in maneuvering motor vehicles. We certainly Wish him luck at N. Y. U. Page Twenty-five SAMUEL ARNOLD MARTIN May 1, 1923 471 Wfalnut Street, Elizabeth, N. J. uHap',, Nillffartyv, uPeclwur,, North Carolina Glee Club 4, Record Board 4, Stamp Club lg Departmental Honors. HPecheur lias been in attendance at Pingry ever since the First Grade and during that time has proven himself to be a goozl thinker and an industrious worker. His happy disposition ac- counts for his nickname Hap77 and his genial friendship with Staehle furtlver proves this point. Une of Arnold's prime loves is the sea and any summer day you may find him out on a schooner off the New Jersey coast. Despite this, Arnold is 100W Pingry and we'll all miss him, but right now bid him God speed to North Carolina. CHARLES HERMAN MEISTER April 12, 1924 41 Georgian Court, Elizabeth i'Acen, 4'Hermie', Lehigh Dramatic Club 3, 43 Secretary 4, Departmental Honors 3, Record Board 3, 4, Business Nlanager 45 Athletic Executive Committee 43 Baseball Manager 4. Ace has been here only a few years but in that short time has established himself as an indispensable member of the Drama- tic Club. His diplomacy in securing ads from the home-town mer- chants has delighted us all and as a result of his work the RECORD is enjoying a fairly prosperous season. Although the Baseball season is as yet not under way, we feel safe in venturing to say that he will do a grand job managing the team as well as doing a grand job in Lehigh next year.

Bart is the boy who isn't there, or at least you'd get that impres- sion because of his infrequent visits to Mr. Buffum's educational menagerie in which he teaches American History. Don't be misled into thinking that Bart floesn't know his stuff. He is an artist of no minute distinction and the diagrams he draws for Biology are of the better type. Happy Glee Clubbing in college, Bart!

He has a steady line of stuff that he has been giving to us all year through the medium of Q'Who's Vlfho and Whz1 s New? etc., and while it sounds very authentic and is beautifully written it is hard for us to bring ourselves to believe such stuff. Perhaps Dick's greatest claim to fame is the parties that have taken place during the last nine months at 50 Wfildwood. l know that yours truly will never forget one of them. Dick is a very versatile fellow, being equally proficient at dramatics, singing, and tennis playing. Even though we sometimes doubt the authenticity of g'Who7s Whow etc. we are perfectly confident that Dick will be able to bluff his way through life just as he has bluffed it through Pingry.

Big Tom or Alice as he is sometimes referred to, is the Robert Taylor of the Senior Class, but has managed to keep his innocent outlook on life. Tom's work as Chairman of the Dance Committee has produced many successful dances, and his record is further abetted by outstanding work on the Rifle Team and Bridge Club. We hope that Tom stays just the way he is in Cornell next year. Page Twenty-nine HAMILTON DEAN SMITH, JR.

On a Monday morning when one hears uboy, you should hear about what I did over the week-end, one need only to turn around to see sailor-boy '6Smitty ploughing in from Mr. Diebolt's chariot anchored at the curb. Dean is one of the best Mbull-slingcrs the school has, but we must admit that we have wasted plenty of time listening to some of his stories. Doc however, has acquitted him- self very favorably as Vice-Commodore of the Navigation Club and as Captain of the Rifle Team. Both these things arc very important, but photography is seen as a rising star. We have yet to see any of the subjects, who, or should we say what, are they? Good luck in Maryland, Dean. RAYMOND FISKE SMITH, JR.

Stage fright, Ray? He is an ardent bridge player, and as hc was a member of the Dance Committee, an cven more ardent dancer. ltls a miracle that there is anything left of the girls! It hardly seems possible that so youthful a lad will be a businessman ncxt year, but we are sure that whatever he does, Ray will do well.

Steel-head is in a class with MSwish as being one of the happy boysw in our class. His ready wit and sense of humor have carried him a long way and will continue to do so. He and his inseparable pal Belch are often seen together at various skating rinks all over the state but as to their ulterior motives in being seen at such places we can only guess. We imagine, however, that they confine themselves to roller-skating. Everyone who sits near George in Chapel knows that he can add volume to his voice when he wants to and we guess that that is the reason for his being such a prominent member of the Club.

It wasn't until last fall that the MBaron'7 showed us that he was an A-1 football playerg he proved himself to be one of the best men on the 1940 team. His proficiency in swimming has been evidenced by his participation in swimming meets for thc past three years. L'Stubby's pride and joy is the golden-haired lass who frequents Westheld, but he cannot get away with her without some very strong competition from one other member of the class. ,lean not withstanding, the a'Baronl7 makes a hit with most of the fairer sex. He is headed for the Citadel and with the uniform that will put in an appearance shortly, we are sure Hstubbyw will be much more popular with certain people. Page Thirty-one JOHN OSBORNE STODDARD .

Bill is one of the more silent members of the class, as a matter of fact his presence at the top of the class standing each month is one of the things that make us Inost envious of him. Nevertheless, Bill has participated in many extra-curricular activities, the most notable of which is the Glee Club. Our knowledge of Bill's femin- ine interests at this point seem to be rather depleted. We have heard rumors, however, of a certain lady named G'lVIimi who flashes her womanly charms at Bill. Yve were very happy when we learned that Bill expects to be found in Pingry again next year and we shall be seeing him here. Page Thirty-two PINGRY J.

His oratory is of the finest as is evidenced by his three presence on the Debating Team. As far as Athletics goes, all we know is that uBudsy is the gent who is seen flying around in the air on the end of a stick. Pole vaulting they call it and the MButcher7' has proven himself a master hand at that intricate trick. Everything he does is done quietly and efficiently, and we know that he will go a long way at Harvard and in later life.

These veterans, Jack Baker, Clark Whittemore, Gerry Driscoll and Arnold, assembled for the first time way back in September, 1929. ln the Second Grade, these four youths welcomed Herb Chase, our swing band expert. X For the two ensuing years, this small group received no recruits, but in the Fifth Grade they were joined by Toni Bristol, the lpana heir, John Gersten- berger, Editor of this Blue Book and George Staehle our number 1 Mhot-manf' The next year, our sixth year in school, the class was enlarged by the arrival from the woods of Colonia of J ack Anderegg. While we only received one recruit that year, we can claim one distinction which no other class has the honor to claim. We were the last class to be taught by our beloved Miss Budd. Upon our arrival in Mr. Vars, sanctimonium commonly known as the Middle School, we were joined by Dick Porter who was the first boy in our class to boastfully say that he rode on the bus with all the big boys. It was quite a distinction in those days to ride with the famous Eddie. Un the opening day of our eighth year in school, we were pleased to find Oscar Bundschuh, our football manager, Tom Evans, the future national and perhaps universal wrestling champ, fallen Devinney, MEsquire personified, Joe Long, the boy who never misses a shot, Bob King, a slightly smaller version of the National Broadcasting Company, Myles Morrison, the class's man of knowl- edge, Henry Staub, commonly known as HStubby , and the class play boy, Nick Albano, the laW's contribution to Pingry fhis father, he's a judge, he was not a fugitive from the lawj, and Eric Luster, cowboy supreme in their seats all ready to start the year off with a bang. Page Thirty-six Upon our ascension into that awe-inspiring department of the school known as the Upper School, we received six newcomers: Dave Welch, the male Minerva of the class, MRed', Rankin, whose vast experience is the envy of us all, Fred Leggett, the ace Business Manager of this book, Bob Gibson, our fcensoredl driver, G4Willie'7 Trapp, our idea of what every boy should be, and Ray Smith, Pingry's best swimming manager to date. Our Sophomore Year brought us six more smiling and happy faces: Bob Compton, the most versatile man in the school, Harry Brown, friend of the HDuchess, Ted Hanlon, all-star man, Carl Holmes, this year's tank captain, Charlie Meister, mathematician supreme, and 'gTubby', Hughes, one of the brothers associated in the G'Brotherhood of Techniciansf' Our next to last year in school, the ranks of the Class of 1941 were further augmented by Dick Hagadorn, whose new car is the envy of us all, Bill Inglis, Eastman Kodak's contribution to Pingry, Bart O'Rourke, Pingry's man of mys- tery, Bob Reigner, another one of the Mbrothersf' Tom Rogers, smooth apple and Dance Committee Chairman, Dean Smith, the best 'abull-slinger we have seen yet, the uHonest', .lohn Stoddard, the most honest man west of the eastern and east of the western boundaries of New Jersey. Last September, we were fortunate enough to be able to witness the arrival of Homer Bobilin from the wilds of Garwood, Mac Cashmore, our '4Scotchman and contribution to Annapolis, Bob Hill, dramatist par excellence, Bill Critch- low, one of the more progressive members of the Arithmetic Club, Bart Lewis, Pingry's Richard Crooks, Ed McGrath and ,lim Woodford, who has also dis- tinguished himself as a member of the Dramatic Club. All these boys, combined with three Post Graduates, make up the largest class that Pingry has graduated in its eighty year history.

Under the able direction of our Music Master, Mr. Harold E. Clark, made its first public appearance when it played at the Christmas Tea, given annually by the boys for their mothers. In addition to this, the boys have sung for Middle and Upper Schools, and have also appeared in daily Chapel services. Wllhe Lower School News has grown so steadily dur- ing its four year history, that now each boy contributes several articles to the paper during the course of the year. The paper is planned and the art work contributed by a committee of boys from the Fifth Grade. School chapel programs, to which the parents were invited, were participated in by each class during the year. Boys presided at these formal programs and also conducted the less formal daily service, with one hoy reading the Scriptures, others choosing and announcing the hymns, and still others giving informal talks on suhjects of interest to the younger boys. More handwork, including Wood and metal work has been done during the past year under the direction of Mrs. Frank MacMillen, the Art Director. Mrs. Hervey J. Richer was the only newcomer to the Faculty this year. She teaches the Fifth Grade and was instrumental in the planning and presentation of a puppet show 'QHansel and Gretelw that enchanted the younger boys no end.

Page Forty-eight The Student Council, composed of three members from the Senior Class, two members from the Junior Class, and one mem- ber from the Sophomore and Freshmen classes, is the official judicial body of the school. lts chief job is to supervise the enforcement of the Honor System and the weekly meetings with Mr. Springer have served to form a link between the student body and tl1e faculty in order that the aims of both the Student Council and the Faculty may be carried out with mutual co- operation. The Council has jurisdiction over ground and class- room rules and any complaints that might be forthcoming from the students and Faculty. This year, the Council has clarified the few simple rules of the school and have had them published in the RECORD in several installments for the benefit of everyone. The cooperation arising from the publication of these rules has been gratifying, indeed. The President of the Senior Class is automatically the Presi- dent of the Student Council and a Secretary is elected from among the other members. Bob Compton was President this year and Reynold Devinney, Secretary. Other members are: Senior, Jack Bakerg Junior, Robert Gamble and Scudder Mackcyg Sophomore, Donald Williamsg Freshman, Norman Tomlinson. ozuigafion The second year of the Navigation Club has seen a continu- ance of interest on the part of many boys in the school in nautical affairs. The Club meets weekly under the direction of Mr. Springer. lts membership is made up of boys from all four forms in the Upper School and they present a wide variety of experience. Most boys are more interested in sailing than in motor-boating and a number of members have demonstrated their skill in sailboat racing. The club studies in logical order the principles of piloting and terrestrial navigation. Approxi- mately oncc a month the Club has a recreational program when either moving pictures are shown or navigation instruments or other articles pertaining to sailing are brought in by the boys. Again this year a group of boys visited the New York Motor Boat Show with Mr. Springer and spent several hours inspecting the various exhibits. An innovation this year was the Assembly Program spon- sored by the Club, in which various members of the Club spoke on the different aspects of piloting and navigation. The program vas concluded by the showing of a moving picture of life in the United States Navy. Page Forty-nine Room! ERN! During the past year, the Record Board has come through a tough grind to make a showing over which Pingry may well be proud. Editor-in-Chief Robert Compton, and his Aides, Clark Whittemore, Managing Editor, ,lack Baker, News Editor, and Toni Bristol, Sports Editor, have been responsible for the successful compilation and edition of this year's series. In do- ing this, they have retained Pingry's reputation for putting out a fine newspaper. While this year's working staff has been considerably smaller than those of previous years, it has maintained admir- ably the fine standard of quality that has been set by previous Record Boards. New articles and novel ideas have been de- veloped and at the same time the Staff has improved its tech- nique and re-arranged its departments to make a more efficient system of production possible. Jack Anderegg, Circulation Manager, and Ed Hughes, Cir- culation Assistant, and Charlie Meister, Business Manager, have worthily carried out two of the biggest and least appreciative jobs on the paper. Associate Editors, Myles Morrison, Fred Gordon, Gerald Driscoll, John Stoddard and Arnold Martin have been faithfully at work Wednesday nights to help with the big job of com- posing the Record itself. Pure Fifty M8 This year it has been the privilege of the BLUE BOOK BOARD, under the leadership of John Gcrstenberger to publish the thirty- sixth annual edition of the BLUE BOOK in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of the founding of the school. It has been the endeavor of the Board to produce a book of which every Pingry Senior can be proud and yet keep the theme as simple as possible. We hope that we have been able to do this, and now all that is needed is the assurance of our subscribers that the book IIICCIS their expectations. It would not be possible to conclude this brief resume of the year Without expressing our thanks to all the boys who so will- ingly put forth every effort to make this book a success. To Fred Leggett, the Business Manager, perhaps that largest share of credit goes, for were it not for his untiring work in getting ads and subscriptions, We would be completely devoid of any worfh- while yearbook. To Charlie Clarke, Fred's Assistant, Gerald Driscoll, the Editoxfs personal assistant and John Stoddard par- ticular debts of gratitude are due. Praises also go to Bob Comp- ton, who despite 'he pressure of many other duties, found time to do a considerable bit of writing, Bill Inglis, ,lack Baker, Dick Porter, Toni Bristol, Charlie lVleister and many others. And last but far from least, our most sincere thanks to Mr. Springer who has so ably advised and guided us over the rough spots encountered and without whom the task of producing the 1941 BLUE BOOK would have been a much more difficult job. 23,0 ZZW Page Fifty-one ramafic Page F ifty-two This year's production by the Pingry Players was Clare Booth's HMargin For Error which enjoyed a long and successful run on Broadway. The play was very convincingly presented with Bob Hill, a new member of the club, enacting the leading role of Officer Moe Finkelstein. His performance was very ably abetted by those of Bob Compton, President of the Club and Dick Porter, one of the Club's oldest members. Others who contributed notably to the success of the performance were Bart Lewis, Jim Wooilford and Paul d7Esterhazy. Continuing the custom started two years ago, two Vail-Deane girls enacted the feminine roles in our play. Both the Vail- Deane girls, Laetitia Dickinson and Nvynne Charles, gave con- vincing performances and provezl themselves to be excellent actresses. There were five Pingry boys appearing in the Vail-Deane production of Little Womena' by Marian DeForest. Included in this number were ,lack Brenner, John Gersenberger, Mac Cashmere, Charles Meister, Secretary of the Club, and Bob Gamble. enior Ogferozry With graduation of last year's class, the school was left lack- ing a Senior Literary Club. Two boys, Bob Compton and ,lohn Gerstenbcrger in conjunction with lVlr. France were responsible for organizing the Club. They picked several fellows to form the nucleus of the Club and these boys in turn chose several more boys until twelve members in all were chosen. At the Club's first meeting at lVlr. France's house, Toni Bristol was elected President and Bill Inglis, Secretary. The meetings this year have consisted for the most part of reviews of current books. Different members have read eXcerpts and given brief resumes of some of thc most popular books of the year. Not only have talks been presented by club members, but also by guest speakers invited to attend the meetings. Perhaps the best and l11ost original thing the Club has done this year is the chapel program they presented one Friday morn- ing. An ulnformation Please show was put on. Members of the Club acted as the board of experts. The questions were submitted by the student body and the Faculty. To all those whose questions were used, prizes were awarded. To those whose questions stumped the experts, additional prizes were given. The show proved to be a great success and should be an inspiration to the clubs formed in the future. All in all, this year's Club has been a great success and has proved bene- ficial and enjoyable to all its members. Page Fifty-three ga cm This year, the fame of Pingry has spread far and wide because of the activities of the Clce Club. Besides participat- ing in the annual Christmas Pageant, the Club, under the direction of lVlr. Clark, made two pilgrirnages to New York to appear in public concerts. The first of these appearances took place last December when the Club broadcast over Station YVHN under the auspices of the Bowery Mission, with which Nlr. Clark is afliliated. The second appearance was at the Stryker's Lane Community Center. In addition to these appearances, the Club has sung several times in Chapel and at this writing, plans are being formulated for the Double Quartet, an innovation this year, to sing at one of the weekly meetings of the lflizabeth Rotary Club, of which Mr. Springer is President. ln addition to the many fine voices in the Club, there are two boys who are very worthy of special mention. They are Bart Lewis, our bass baritone, which is one of the finest voices we have had at Pingry in many a year, and Dick Porter, our dark-haired 'hCaruso. These two boys and all the others in the Club deserve much praise for their splendid contribu- tions towards the success of the Club. Page Fifty-four This year the orchestra has again been under thc direction of Mr. August May, conductor of the Elizabeth Philharmonic Urchestra, who has so ably directed our orchestra for the past three years. Despite an absence of strings in this year's orchestra, this deficiency has amply been niade up by thc presence of several boys remarkably proficient with other instruments. This past season, it has been the great privilege of the orchestra to play over the radio. Hr. Harold Clark, Director of the Glee Club, is affiliated with the Bowery Mission and it was through his efforts that a broadcast was made from the Mission Hall over Station WHN last December. ln addition to this appearance, the orchestra has played in daily Chapel several times and has been enthusiastically re- ceived by tlie student body. At this writing, plans are under way for the Fourth Annual Spring Concert, a feature which has come to be identified with the school and which will take place soinctiine In May. OPCA855 fl 6L Page F ifty-five we cfs Page F ifty-six The l94l Rifle Team had only four members when its activities were renewed last September, but it elected eight new members from the Junior and Sophomore classes. These new members have all come up to expecta- tions, even with the handicap of not having had a full practice season. The Captain of the team was Dean Smith, who was advanced from the position he held last year, that of Lieutenant. His chief assistant was Cary Carpender, a member of the 1940 team who was elected Lieutenant for 194-l. This year's Faculty Advisor was Mr. Dimock, who very ably replaced Mr. deGryse when the latter had to resign because of the pressure of other activities. This year, due to unforsccn circumstances, thc team was late in starting target practice and consequently held no matches with outside schools. Duc to the Rearmamcnt Program, the Government closed all the armorics to civilians, and this placed the team in another predicament, for thc team had been given permission to use the armory in past years and had made no provision for anything of this sortls happening. Through the efforts of Mr. Dimock, however, permission was obtained in thc financing and construction of a range in the Central Baptist Church. This range will be used for practice in later years. Because of the outstanding efforts of this year's team, next year should see a fine season turned in by the l94-2 Team and to this end, the Seniors wish thc team all the luck in the world. 61,1468 Ol'lfLl'1fLLffQ8 The year 194-0-1941 has been, for the Pingry Dance Committee, one of the most interesting if not the most successful season for which the members of the above organization could hope. Each and every dance boasted of a large attendance of enthusiastic and fun- loving boys and their dates. The boys responsible for arousing such enthusiasm were Tom Rogers, Chairman of the Committee, and Bob Peets, Dick Porter, Dick Hagadorn and Ray Smith, members. The first dance was the Football Dance, held the night of the team's victory over Montclair in the last game of the season. The gym was decorated in keeping with the moment, there being jerseys, helmets, and footballs, etc., hanging from the walls. Paper decorations further enhanced the beauty of our newly-decorated gym. The music was furnished by the Budd-Laird Orchestra, and the gym reverberated with noise from the happy throng, signifying the spirit of the Pingry warriors and the woeful conditions under which they strove to make the last game for many of them a victory. The Football Dance was followed a few weeks later by the Christmas Dance. It also was highly successful with the spirit of Christmas intermingling with that of the throng. This time Don Weedon and his uflmegansw supplied the music for the dancing feet. Feeling the desire to aid those suffering in Britain, the Dance Committee de- cided to stage two dances, all the proceeds of which were to go to the British War Relief Society. Despite the interest and the desire of everyone to help Britain, these dances were not too successful, due mainly to the fact that there was a great deal of ice and snow on the nights of both dances. As the Blue Book goes to press, preparations are under way for the second annual four-school dance. Conferences are being held between the mem- bers of the Dance Committees of Montclair Academy, Carteret Academy, Newark Academy and Pingry and it is hoped that before too great a space of the time elapses, a date and location will be selected for the dance which proved extremely popular last year. Zgniafge The Bridge Club, an organization founded last year and carried on forthe most part by last year's Seniors, was reorganized last fall with a great deal of enthusiasm. Meetings have been held every Weflnesflay in Mr. Diebolt's room and unlike last ycar's Club, several underclassmen have participated in the wild bridge games that have taken place during these meetings. The members decided to conduct the affairs of the Club in the most informal manner possible and in keeping with this policy no officers were elected. Instead we have had Mr. Diebolt as Faculty Advisor and he has acted in his official capacity when- ever matters that would ordinarily be taken care by the Clulfs officers arose. Mr. Diebolt has also done an excellent job of advising experienced players when an intricate situation arose during the playing of a hand and of teaching the boys who did not know how to play bridge. Among the members were Bill Inglis, John Gerstenberger, Gerald Driscoll, Bill Asher, Fred Gordon, Dick English, Charlie MacMaster and Paul d'Esterhazy. Page Fifty-eight '4The Scrollf' the official publication of the Middle School, is now in its seventh year of production. About thirty-five boys during the past year have had some part in producing the paper, consequently it is evident that with so many boys working hard, competition is very keen for the coveted positions of Editor-in- Chief and Business Manager. The paper appears twice a month and contains new articles, editorials, stories and cartoons, of interest for the most part to the boys in the Middle School. Positions on the Staff are ob- tained on the basis of ability, interest and faithfulness, and new boys are constantly being added to the Staff as they qualify. Last year the uScroll again placed first among the private elementary school mimeographed newspapers and received a silver medal in recognition of this honor. This year, under the leadership of Robert Nutt, Editor-in-Chief, and Mr. Knoke, Faculty Advisor, the Staff is striving to Win the gold medal. the highest honor awarded by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. its jim!! Page Fifty-nine HJ OZVLJ gfblfb For the second consecutive year, the Nimrods and lsaac Waltons of Pingry have banded together to form the Rod and Gun Club. Mr. Dimock again acted as the Clubis Faculty Advisor and livened up the weekly meetings with many a rem- iniscent anecdote and sage hint on the manly arts of hunting and fishing. The officers of last year's Club retained their position because, although the membership increased noticeably, most of the new members were drawn from the ranks of boys who had just come to Pingry. The members assembled every Monday to discuss some phase of outdoor sports, but their activities were not confined to these weekly meetings. When the annual Sportsmen's Show opened in New York, the Club took a trip to the big town to see it, and later in the year the Club presented a program in Chapel to tell the student body something about its activities. During the year the Club stocked the Library with sporting magazines and recommended several books for purchase by the Library Committee. Although the Rod and Gun Club is one of the school,s new- est organizations, it has established itself as a regular Pingry institution and promises to become more active every year. Page Sixty 1' ,ibedafing eam The Pingry Debating Team had its usual unsuccessful sea- son this year in so far as both the negative and aliirmative teams lost to Montclair Academy. ln the opinion of the writer it would be a good idea to give up this formal debate and if possi- ble substitute a joint forum or something more informal in which the spectators could participate. Under the present set- up, there is very little interest in trying out for the team and practically no support from the student body. This year the debate was held on February 28th. It was handicapped by the last minute defection of Morristown School and the worst blizzard of the winter which reduced the attend- ance to practically zero. The subject was: uliiesolved that the best interests of the U. S. would be served by refraining from armed intervention in the Far East. The affirmative team at Pingry consisted of Clark Whittemore and Gerald Driscoll, speakers, and William Asher, alternate. The negative team. which plowed through the blizzard to reach Montclair consisted of Fred Gordon and Arnold Martin, speakers, and Cary Car- pender, alternate. Both teams did well considering their lack of practice. Morristown, which is the third member of the Triangular League, was unable to produce two teams, so the contest was reduced to Montclair and Pingry. Page Sixty-one BOOK FOUR ATHLETICS Mr. Les 1 Illr. Williams Page Sixty-four .fgfdgfic gieclfzlfiue Gmmilffee Spring is here and it is with much satisfaction that we look back upon the accomplishments of the athletic year. The Football season started off with a bang and continued that way until the final gun of the last game which closed a season which saw only two defeats of Pingry, one by Morristown School and the other by Newark Academy. This year incidentally marked the resumption of athletic relations between Newark and Pingry. The soccer team, as far as winning games was concerned, did not fare too well, for it dropped all of its eight games. Nevertheless a great improvement in la in abilit and techni ue was witnessed towards the end of the season. P Y 5 Y Cl The basketball team had one of its most successful seasons in many years. All the opponents on the regular schedule succumbed to the invincible Pingry team with the exception of one, Newark. ln the Union County Tournament, the team fared well in the first round by defeating Roselle High School. Unfor- tunately, however, they were eliminated in the second round by Rahway, which won the tournament. The swimming team had none too good a year, but here again, as was the situation in the case of the soccer team, great improvement was shown towards the end of the season. There remain on hand now, a large number of ex- perienced swimmers, who next season should mould themselves into a fine team. Even in the instances when we did lose a meet, the winning margin was not very large. This served to show that there were and still are great possibilities inherent in the swimmers, and that these possibilities may be brought out by a bit more practice. While at this writing the baseball team has not played the majority of its games, we can say that in all fairness it looks like a swell season ahead. Thus far, we have played four games and won them all. This, l would think, of what the team can do and what we hope it will do for the remainder of the year. The tennis team commenced its 1941 season a couple of weeks ago by being defeated by Peddie School. This not having daunted the Pingry netmen, however, they continued into their second match with Newman School, and defeated them. The track team, which is very weak due to loss of lettermen through graduation last year, experienced its first meet of the season the other day with Roselle High School, and was beaten by them. Here is an example of how difficult it is to find in Pingry's class schools with track teams. Despite the number of losses, the larger number of victories give proof of the fact that during the past year we have had far better than average teams. joofdaf ,Zum 'L 1,4 ,M The 1940 Football Season proved to be a successful one with the team winning four games, losing two, and tying one. Seven lettermen returned from last yearls team to join the ranks of this yearys squad and these seven men were augmented by either new boys or fellows who were moved up from the lower teams. While the team was rounded out with a good line and strong backlield, passing was the team's best feature. The season started out with the team tying a heavy Carteret team. Although we outplayed Carteret, the MBig Bluew could not win. Next, we encountered a light Newman Team and beat them for the first time since 1932. Following this came successive defeats by Morris- town and the powerful Newark squad. The team rallied from this to defeat Edison before a large number of Alumni. Page Sixty-s Next the team conquered Englewood and then played its closing and best game of the season by defeating Montclair on a very muddy field. The team consisted mostly of Seniors with Baker, Chase and Cowan playing the end positions. At tackle Andcregg, Staub and Compton all performed notably. The guards were well taken care of by Hughes and Albano. Morrison ably filled the posi- tion of center, the key position of the line. The backlield was built around Captain Brown and Captain-elect Kammler. Kamm- ler did the sweeps and the broken Held running while Brown took care of the line plunging. Passes were thrown by New- comb and Bart Lewis, who was our star kicker. f HARRY BROWN, Captain mor QULWLZS ght At first glance at the record of this ycar's Soccer Team, one would think that the past fall was a very had season in that the team went down to defeat in all of its eight games. This record, however, is not too had when one takes into consideration several facts. First of all, practically all of the players were inexperienced, as many of them had never before played soccer. Secondly, all the games except one were played with high schools, Whose teams, having a much larger Held to choose from, were far out of our class. In spite of these serious handicaps, the team made enorm- ous strides under the excellent direction of Mr. West. Proof of this is shown by the scores of the first and last games, both of which were with Summit High School. In The first game we were defeated by a score of 6-0, while in the last game, we lost by the close score of 3-l. If this improvement is at all significant, next year's team under Captain Gifford Priesmann ought to have a good season. OCCQI' 90LlflfL Page Sixty-nine gadgefdaf lam Page Seventy This year's basketball team has admittedly been one of the best the school and Mr. Les have turned out in several years. Lead by Captain Joe Long, the team closed its season with a rec- ord of thirteen victories and two losses. On the regular schedule, the team lost only to Newark, while in the Union County Tournament it was defeated by Rahway, which later became the County Championship Team. Both of these losses occurred when the team was not up to par and this combined with the fact that the two opposing teams were stronger are held responsible for the two defeats. In gaining the thirteen victories, the team was able to run up scores larger than those scored by any Pingry team in the past. Seldom did the team fail to score less than forty points, and several times it scored more than fifty. The leading scorer of the year was Joe Long, who averaged about fifteen points per game, getting in some as many as twenty- two points. Ted Hanlon holds the second place as high scorer and in addition to this was the year's best ball hawk. Teddy is no'ed for his single-handed scoring sprees which frequently ,Iota LONG, Captain occur. Dick Hagadorn was sort of an in-between man, receiving passes from Bristol or Long and sending them on to Hanlon so that he could score or else converting it himself. He was the most consistent scorer on the team and you could al- most put down the number of points he was going to make before the game started. Toni Bristol, although not a very high scorer, was the playmaker of the team and as such he deserves much credit for the teamls success. Bob Cown, starting guard, and Myles Morrison, his alternate, also fitted very nicely into the smoothly running machine, both of them acting as ufcedersi' or play makers and doing some scoring of their own. The substitutes Whom Mr. Les is grooming for next season and who daily scrimmaged with the varsity in order that the latter might perfect it- self were Scudder Mackey, Richard English, Harry Heitman, William Dealaman and several others. .lust a look at the team's record will make one realize what a grand job Mr. Les has done. Were it not for Mr. Les' teaching and guid- ance, the yearls team wouldn't have been worth Writing about. He has spent over three months coaching the team daily and teaching the boys four different defenses and five different of- fenses. This year's record is a great tribute to his coaching ability. wimming eam Page Seventy-two After a rather unsuccessful 39-40 season, the Swimming Team made definite improvements during the 40-41 season. While they did not win the majority of the games, having won three out of eleven meets, much experience was gained by previ- ously inexperienced boys. Perhaps the greatest credit should go to the stars of the team, Capt. Holmes, Bob Hueston, Henry Staub, Bob Peets, who despite a broken leg managed to do some swimming towards the end of the season, Davey Heilner and Nick Albano. These boys have been the mainstays of the team, but they have been ably and efficiently abetted by Penny, Woodruff, Pollard, May- ham, Gamble, Reid and Sehrwath, all of whom should be great prospects and next year should band together in making a splendid team. Pingry defeated Newark Academy twice and Hun School once. Despite having won only three games, the scores were exceptionally close, the winning margin being only a few points. Hueston led the scoring and was followed closely by S'aub. C77 ,JLen1fuf5 cam This year's team is looking forward, after a bit of practice, to a season that will be as successful as those of the last 'three years. Two of these three seasons, the Championship of the State for Group Three, Prep Schools, has been captured by the Pingry netmen and this yearis participants are earnestly en- deavoring to have it returned to Pingry's halls this year. The team is headed by Dick Porter, a player par excellence, he will ably bc abetted by Carl Holmes, Fred Gordon and Everett Reid, all of whom will occupy key positions. Both Gordon and Reid are newcomers to the varsity this year, but on the basis of what practice to have seen them take, it can honestly be said that they are a very worthwhile invest- ment. With all these fine players defending Pingry's court honor. Coach Dimock and Manager .lohn Stoddard are looking forward to a successful season, with some of the leading schools of the East, including Peddie and Hun. Y N Page Seventy-three gddegdf lam Page Seventy-four Most of the members of the school's star 1941 base- ball team have returned and are trying their hardest to recapture the State Championship which was won in 1939. On Bart Lewis' pitching, on the hitting of Ted Han- lon and Dick Hagadorn, which was both heavy and de- pendable during the 1940 season, on the fielding ability of Bob Compton and his cohorts, and on the expert coach- ing that Mr. Williams gives his team, depends the success of the team. With the first and second games won by scores of 18-5 and 5-1, the team is looking forward to encounters with Morristown, Montclair, Newman, Carteret, St. Bernards, Englewood, Newark, Stevens, Wardlaw and Rutgers. The first two games showed the team to be strong in many respects but weak in others. Dick Hagadorn proved that he has not lost any of his hitting ability for he got several hits in both games. Bart Lewis, a newcomer to Pingry last fall, has been doing an excellent job in the position of pitcher. While the season is yet young, and the team has been doing a grand job, we are looking for even better things before the end of the year, including the Championship. Z?6L.'58A6L!ZxSi'A8C!lfl,!

This year's team is rather weak as far as lettermen from last yearis team are concerned, but there is much promising material in boys who hitherto have not placed themselves at Mr. Les' disposal. Nevertheless, the old boys, augmented by the recruits, will probably mould into a Hue team, one that we hope will develop well enough so that we can enter the Penn Relays. Clark Whittenlore, a letterman from last year, is expected to be outstanding in the pole vault, while Bill Inglis and Tom Evans are expected to be in line for the broad-jump and the high-jump. One of the great difficulties the Manager of the team en- counters each year is to find teams that are in our class. Mont- clair Academy and Newark Academy are the only two that meet these requirements and consequently the team is obliged to go out of its class to find opponents. In addition to the two schools named above Roselle and Scotch Plains High Schools are on the schedule and it is hoped that Mr. Les' and the par- ticipants splendid eiforts may be rewarded by Victory over every one of these schools.
