6 5 +++++++'I'+'I'++++++++'Z-+ 1 JOHN HOWE GERSTENBERGER June 15, 1923 271 East Second Avenue, Roselle 4'Gersty', ,Iohnny', Bard Blue Book Board 2, 3, 43 Associate Editor 3, Editor-in-Chief 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer of Class 2, 3, 4g Glee Club 4, Bridge Club 4, Literary Club 43 Record Board 4, Forum Com- mittee 4g Ring and Pin Committee 3, 4, Departmental Honors lg Improvement Prize 1. 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

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.

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.
