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.

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

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
