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!

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

'X'+++++++++++++-Z'-l'++'Z'+ Mr. ROBERT WALDO KING January 25, 1924 Hemlock Road, Short Hills '6Bob,' Middlebury Navigation Club 3, Stage Crew 3, 4g Technical Board 4, German Club 4. 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.
