E slim-m-chief CHARLES ALLEN MacMASTER . ., .,,..,, Business Manager me jioringer As we look forward to our coming graduation, we intuitively think about the future and what it holds for us. Whether we go to some institution of higher learning or into business, we shall always look back with pleasant memories to our days at Pingry under the guidance of Mr. Springer. His exceptional understanding of boys and his intimate knowledge of colleges and specialized schools have been invaluable in helping us to decide what course we will follow after we graduate. Many times during our years at Pingry, each of us has had occasion to seek Mr. Springer's advice, which has al- ways been given both freely and wisely. We leave with the deepest appreciation of all Mr. Springer has done, not only for Pingry, but also for us as individuals. Page Three Page Four 0l 8bU0l This Blue Book has been published for the benefit of the students at Pingry and We sincerely hope that we have succeeded in pub- lishing a book that will be of interest to every boy in the school. We have made several changes this year, some of which were necessary be- cause of the War and national defense and some because we thought they would help to make this a better book. This year we have given a full page of Writing to each of the classes in the Upper School. We did that so that each class would have an interest in the book. We have enjoyed working on the Blue Book, and we hope that We have given you a volume that you will enjoy reading and owning. ibeagcafion This year we dedicate the Blue Book to Roy R. Shrewsbury, a most worthy member of our faculty. Mr. Shrewsbury is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and has served us at Pingry as a teacher of Music, Mathematics and English for the last ten years. Those of us fortunate enough to have been in his classes, will cherish the memory of his unfailing sympathy and interest, as he has sought to solve our individual problems with sound and helpful advice. We have enjoyed, both in and out of class, his keen sense of humor and inexhaustible repertoire of stories and anecdotes. We think of him, not only as a teacher, but also as a friend. To Mr. Shrewsbury, our sincere thanks and warm affection. Page Five Mgr? OTHO L. VARS Head of Middle School Arithmetic Alfred University, Ph.B. CASMIR A.

Of this number only three boys started in the First Grade and remained in the school for twelve years. The veterans of twelve years are Richard English, Scudder Mackey, Edwin Miller. Neither the Second, Third, or Fourth Grade gave us any new students. In the Fifth Grade, however, we caught our first glimpse of Tom Mullen, who is now very skillful in the operation of a camera. In the Sixth Grade we received Bob Gamble, a good authority on all sports, but foot- ball in particular. Also during this year, we were the class that was last taught by Miss Budd for a full year. The following year we went up the stairs to the Middle School room directed by Mr. Vars. In the First Form we met Hans Angermueller, a Cranford boy who has very frequently been on the Honor Roll. John Scharwath, also, entered Pingry this year. John probably reads more books than any other member of the class. On the first day of our eighth year in school, we were taught by a member of the faculty who was making his debut in the school, Mr. Atwater. We received Edwin Becker, a mathematical genius, and Cary Carpender, a famous member of the Rod and Gun Club. Everett Reid, a commuter from Metuchen, was added to our ranks as well as Paul d'Esterhazy, president of the Dramatic Club. Upon our arrival into the Upper School, we received eight newcomers. Bill Asher, the best history student in the class, John Brenner, whose ability as an actor in our annual play is the envy of us all, Charles Clarke, who is always found running around doing work for the Blue Book Che is its editorj, Cliff Gehring, a rather quiet boy but an expert photographer, Fred Gordon, the fellow who is on the Honor Roll every month, Richard Hughes, who is interested in technical work, Howard Lupin, a com- muter from Bayonne, and Richard Turk, a Staten Island boy, Whose keen mind has kept him in the upper part of the class. Our Sophomore year brought us only two more students. Butler Heilner, whose nice car all of us would like to possess, and Charles MacMaster, sports writer of the Record and baseball manager. Cur class was augmented by five new members during the next year: Leon Bark- horn, a boy of moderation both in studies and in sports, William Cameron, who is known mostly for the skill and ease with which he drives his Chrysler convertible, War- ren Horre, a very accurate shot with the shotgun, and Bob Peets, the happy-go-lucky president of the Dance Committee. Page Twelve 670144 .JQ451f0rg-fmffwa' This year our Senior Class witnessed the arrival of three new boys: Carl Holmes, a versatile athlete and captain of the Basketball team, Andrew Knox, a high scorer on the Basketball team, George Wilmot, a tall boy, who is good in all sports. Had it not been for the unfortunate deaths of Stuart Porter on March 24, 1939, and Bob McKeown on May 9, 1940, our class would have two more members. Also leaving school this year with the Seniors are five Post Graduates: John Ande- regg, John Baker, Harold Cashmore, Reynold Devinney, and William Trapp. um ofaucfe jbciefy The Cum Laude Society is an organization fostering high ideals of scholarship in young people below the college level. In the secondary school it holds a place comparable to that of Phi Beta Kappa in the colleges. It was founded in 1906 at The Tome School and now has chapter societies in nearly all of the larger preparatory schools and also in some high schools. School chapters are made up originally of faculty members who are heads of de- partments, in addition to any who, in their college work, have received outstanding scholastic honors or who have earned advanced degrees. The original group is empowered to elect, each year, new members from the Senior Class, the right to membership being restricted to those in the top twenty per cent of the class in scholarship ranking. Until recent years, these elections were made at the end of the Senior year and the investiture made at the commencement exercises. More recently, however, elections to the ex- tent of half the quota, ten per cent of the Senior Class, have been made after the mid- year exams and the newly elected members are formally admitted into the Chapter at special chapel exercises. The Pingry Chapter of the Cum Laude Society was established in 1925 and since that time has, each year, added to its membership through annual elections. Election to the Chapter is a goal toward which a considerable number of the Senior Class always strive-a very commendable goal-and, like any such goal, its value lies not in having attained it, but in having striven to attain it. Therefore, though the race be won by few, all those who enter and do not lose heart, are the fitter for the long race to follow. Page Thirteen HANS ANGERMUELLER October 7, 1924 410 Casino Avenue, Cranford Baron Angy Harvard President of Class 1, 25 Vice-President of Class 3, Student Council 45 Record Board 3, 4, Managing Editor 43 Literary Club 45 President 45 French Club 43 Dramatic Club 4, Chair- man Ring Committee 3g Football 45 Blue Book 45 Dance Committee 4. Hans has been with us for a good many years, but our admiration for him increases daily. A scholar of great ability, Hans has been a member of the football squad for the past two seasons and performed admirably in this year's Dramatic Club production, Thunder Rock. His work as Managing Editor of the Record has gone no small way toward leading that enterprise through one of its most successful years, and his expertly drawn cartoon pepped the publication up consider- ably. Good luck at Harvard, Boopsy,,' not that you'll need much. WILLIAM ROBERT ASHER November 2 3, 1923 1 Renner Avenue, Newark Bill, Aslan A Yale Camera Club 25 Bridge Club 3, French Club 45 Record 33 Debating Team 1, 33 Soccer Team 3, 4, Tennis Manager 4. Bill is one of the more silent members of the classg as a matter of fact, his presence near the top of the class stand- ing is one of the th-ings that make us most envious of him. Bill has worked hard this year in arranging matches for the tennis team. He also was one of the vital members of Mr. West's soccer team. Bill is headed for Yale and we want to wish him all the success and luck which we know he will at- talll. Page Fourteen lx Nxs .-QQ: .:-AQ: lx: T-N Kgs -xxx n-QQSN P55 LEON BARKHORN, JR. June 24, 1923 ' 325 Turrell Avenue, South Orange Lee ' Duke or U. of N. C. Baseball 4. I Lee is one of the more silent members of the Class. He has been a familiar sight 'round these here parts with his Buick with its many colored fenders. Lee has come along in many ways this year and, at present, is one of Mr. Williams' promising outfielders on the 1942 baseball squad. just keep plugging away, Lee, and you'll be in on the finish we're sure. EDWIN DEIBLER BECKER March 6, 1925 129 Brightwood Avenue, Westfield Ed Harvard Track Manager 3, 43 Camera Club 45 Photography Club 2, President 25 Orchestra 1, 2, 4. Ed has been with us a number of years. In that time We have come to know him as an easy-going fellow who just never seems to have trouble in Math. Besides taking an active part in football, Ed has given time to the Orchestra. He is also in that organization known as the Pingry Camera Club. Come the Revolution and Ecl,ll be found calm as ever but ready for anything. We know Pingry will be well represented at Har- vard by our Ed. Page Fifteen JOHN ARTHUR BRENNER April 1, 1924 318 West 7th Street, Plainfield Bun Boy Pennsylvania Soccer 4, Track 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Secretary 4, Record Board 3, 4, Associate Editor 45 Glee Club 2, 3, Rod and Gun Club 3, 4, Secretary 3, 45 French Club 4. The Clark Gable of the Senior Class, Jack has finally settled down, and this year we find him laboriously burning the midnight oil .... Jack was a fighting member of Pingry's soccer squad the past season and the Record has flourished with Jack as one of its Associate Editors. As Darcy in Vail- Deane's version of Pride and Prejudicef, Jackson further showed his grand stage talents. Pingry will miss his genial smile and happy-go-lucky person next year. So long, jack, and the very best of luck. ALBERT LOUIS BRUNNER February 9, 1924 43 Oakland Avenue, Union Al Univ. of North Carolina Stamp Club 15 Basketball Manager 35 Athletic Executive Committee 3g Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Track 3, 4. Al has been concerned in school athletics ever since he joined us, and, though he has shone on the track squad, we have found in him mainly a zest for the managership, in which capacity he served as the handler of the year's contestants. A few years ago Al seemed headed for athletic stardom, but a series of operations marred his ambitions. Usually the first senior to enter a certain Chrysler at noon time, Al's generally amusing personality and ready wit will be missed here at Pingry. We don't know his plans for next year, but Whatever they may be we wish him the best of happiness. Page Sixleen ..

January 29, 1923 18 North Terrace, Maplewood Wild Bill Yale Rifle Club 45 Dramatic Club 45 Record Board 4, Business Manager 4, Radio Communication Club 4, Dramatic Club 4. Bill is Columbia I'Iigh's gift to Pingry. In his two years here he has become one of the most popular members of the class of '42, He turned in a very excellent performance in this year,s dramatic production of the Pingry Players' Thunder Rock. Bill's cream-colored Chrysler convertible is the envy of the School. In it Bill has firmly established him- self as the class's best driver and worst cowboy. Cameron is the wizard of Mr. Grim's physics class. Lots of luck at Yale, Bill. CARY NICHOLAS CARPENDER June 24, 1924 South Terrace, Short Hills Nick crM071k,, irCdTP,, Williams, Annapolis Record Board 3, 4, Associate Editor 45 Soccer 2, 3, 4, Captain 4, Baseball 4, Rifle Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Lieutenant 3, Captain 4, Rod and Gun Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2, 3, 43 Literary Club 45 Athletic Executive Committee 4. Nick joined our class in the Second Form. Ever since then he has been only one leap behind Fred Gordon in schoi- astic ability. Nick, with his impeccable attire and fault- less manner, has been a pleasant addition to Pingry. This year Nick was Captain of the Soccer Team. Although the team did not win a game, nevertheless Nick', ably piloted it on to a moral victory if not an actual one. He is also a very active member of the Rod and Gun Club as well as the Record, and is especially noted for his excellent and humorous articles on the various phases of school life. Nick', plans to be an ad- miral and therefore will attend Annapolis after a year at Williams. We have no anxiety as to Nick's future and we know that, if he is as good an admiral as he is a student, we can rest assured that no aggressor shall set foot on our shores. That's straight stuff, Nick, and good luck to you. Page Se1fe1zlee11 CHARLES HILLYER CLARKE April 30, 1923 282 Summit Avenue, Summit uClJd1'liE,D Bud Business Rifle Club 1, 2, Blue Book Board 3, 4, Editor-in-Chief 4. Charley has certainly made his mark at Pingry. For years he was noted for his car-exchanging ability, with a new auto every few weeks. A model-A Ford held the 'field for some time, but even this finally went out in favor of the present Chevrolet that promises to stay around for awhile. In this car Charley has done an efficient job of the annual task of turning out the Blue Book, despite the war's effect on print- ing and publishing. With this ability, Charley will go a long way in the business world for which he has trained here at Pingry. PAUL OSCAR d'ESTERHAZY, JR. July 12, 1924 29 Cross Gate Road, Madison Design Des Princeton Blue Book 4g Soccer 4g Hockey 43 Rifle Club 1, 2, German Club 4, Secretary 4, Glee Club 1, 2, Dramatic Club 3, 43 President 43 Record Board 3, 4, Associate Editor 4, Camera Club lg Vice-President of Senior Class Literary Club, 45 Bridge Club 3, Library Committee 4, Secretary 4. In Paul, we find the dramatist of the Class, the lad who led the play to success. His list of activities, such as class Vice-President and Associate Editor of the Record, shows how active Paul has been in Pingry's life, as though any indication were needed. Wherever one goes in school, Paul,s jovial Visage is to be seen, accompanied perhaps, by his manly phy- sique, the envy of all. Ever willing to lend a hand, Paul will long be remembered for his school spirit. Good luck in Prince- ton, Desty ! Page Eighteen 2- xxx 55s FQ-gs, Fisg RE Em.

Dick is one of the three boys who started out in the First Grade. Throughout his twelve years at Pingry, Dick has been involved in all class activities. This year Dick was elected President of the Senior Class. He has upheld all the honors attached to this position and has also found time to partici- pate in varsity baseball and basketball. He has not let his duties as President of che Class and Chairman of the Student Council interfere with his scholastic record. Dick plans to go either to Brown or Bucknell. Whichever college he chooses, we wish him the best of luck. ROBERT SPURR GAMBLE October 24, 1924 42 Aberdeen Road, Elizabeth Bob Cornell Football 45 Record Board 3, 4, Dramatic Club 3, 43 Dance Committee 4, Student Council 3, Bridge Club 3. Bob has been a member of Pingry from the Sixth Grade and has been going strong in and out of school life ever since. Bob, besides being prominent for his athletic prowess, is also known for his Big Noise and good-humored banter. Bob has been a mainstay on the football line on all minor teams and for the last two years on the varsity. Bob's work on the dance committee this year, and his hard work on the Record show his many talented abilities. We earnestly hope that he will be as successful and as well liked in college as he is here. Good luck, Bob. Page Nineteen CLIFFORD PHILIP GEHRING February 11, 1923 1800 St. George Avenue, Rahway Cliff, Lou Business Photography Club 2, Camera Club 3, 4, President 43 Record Board 45 Blue Book Board 4. Cliff has been with us for four years. His main ex- tra-curricular activity is photography and he has distinguished himself in that field. He is seen at sport contests taking pic- tures for the Pingry Record. He is also seen snapping pic- tures of the other seniors for the Blue Book. Besides this, he has founded and is president of the Camera Club, and is a great baseball fan. We wish Cliff the greatest success, and we feel sure he'll have it. FREDERIC S. GORDON January 22, 1924 Park Place, Short Hills Ginn, HF. Sf' Princeton Tennis 3, 4g Soccer 4g Fencing 1, 2, 3g Rifle Club lg Glee Club 2, Rod and Gun Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Treasurer Dramatic Club 4g Literary Club 4, Bridge Club 33 Library Committee 4g Record Board 2, 3, 4, Editor-in-Chief 4g Class President 35 Class Treasurer 45 Orchestra 1g Blue Book 4. One of the best students ever to enter Pingry's halls, Freddy'3 has proved himself not only an outstanding scholar but a most popular classmate as well. His many activities at- test to his wholehearted interest in the life of the School, and, as Editor-in-Chief of the Record, he has been the guiding light of that publication. Athletically, F. S. has shown himself a tennis player of no mean proportion, and was a capable member of Mr. West's never-say-die soccer elite. Pingry and, to a lesser degree, Millburn High will miss his presence next year, but their loss will be Princeton's gain.

But lives near the School and has received his entire education at Pingry. This year besides being one of the prin- cipal leaders of the Dance Committee, Butler has done a fine job in helping the Pingry Players with the properties and stag- ing of the annual production, Thunder Rock. But can be found arguing with Mr. Diebolt often, but whether he wins or not he always presents a strong view. We feel that Butler will win in any profession he chooses if he keeps up the fine work he has done at Pingry. CARL EDGAR HOLMES, JR. May 24, 1924 966 Park Avenue, Elizabeth Homer Swimming Team 1, 2, 3, Captain 35 Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4, Bas- ketball 4, Captain 4g Bowling Club 2. Carl has been one of our most outstanding athletes of the last two years. He was captain of the swimming team last year and is captain of the basketball team of this year. Unfortunately, he hurt his elbow in a basketball game and has just had an operation to remove a splinter which was causing complications. A speedy recovery is expected. In spite of his injury, Carl has had a full year and has led his team through a tough season with an undaunted spirit. In addi- tion to his being an athlete, he is also an extremely popular student with both the young and old. Page Tufelzly-one WARREN GEORGE HORRE July 17, 1923 203 West Jersey Street, Elizabeth Doc Nichols or Univ. of Maryland Record Board 4g Rod and Gun Club 2, 3, 4g President Stamp Club lg Rifle Club 45 Stage Crew 4. When the Seniors recall Warren in the years to come, they will all remember him for his sporting blood. Wherever Warren is found, there is also to be found talk of gunning and fishing, and unlike so much of the talk we hear, it is more than fifty per cent fact. In helping to found the Rod and Gun Club and in leading it in its initial years, Warren has per- formed a real service to the school. NVith his good looks and lively tongue, we are sure he will enliven the Nichols campus no end. RICHARD HORTON HUGHES June 4, 1925 445 Mt. Kemble Avenue, Morristown P0rjJ0ise Johns Hopkins Dramatic Club 3, 4, Football 4g French Club 4, Record Board 3, 4, Circulation Manager 43 Orchestra 1, 2, 35 Stage Crew Foreman 4. Dick,s nickname of Porpoise comes not only from his physique but also from his jolly outlook on life. Just as chronic as the smile on his face, however, is his talk of cars, engines, motorcycles, and airplanes, for Dick is unquestionably the class mechanic. Serving in this capacity, he was largely re- sponsible for the excellent scenery in the annual play, Thunder Rock. The fact that the foreman of the stage crew had ascended the stairs, moreover, did much to increase the actors' confidence in their solidity. Dick's all-around amiability and willingness to work, as shown by his activities on the stage crew, Record, and athletic field, will make him a valuable asset to Johns Hopkins. V Page Twerziy-Info lx 555 2:52 lx: ix Ski ESN A ! NZ ANDREW KEDDIE KNOX March 26, 1924 35 Hurden Street, Hillside Sc01fty,' Football 4, Basketball 45 Baseball 4. Although Andy has been with us only a year, every- one in school has come to know and like him. Besides his wonderful competitive spirit in football, later on he became the high scorer of the basketball team. Its being too early to know for sure prohibits us from mentioning his fine record in baseball, but we know he will do well. Andy's experiments in the lab., much to Mr. Grim's chagrin, delighted all his fellow classmates. There remains no doubt that his winning person- ality will carry him far in whatever field he chooses to enter. HOWARD FREEMAN LUPIN November 20, 1925 930 Boulevard, Bayonne H0wie,' U. of Pennsylvania Glee Club 3, 4. Howard is our class's only representative from Bayonne, but our gain is Bayonne's loss. Howard is one of the most interested listeners of Monday morning blues. And after the narrator has heard Lupe,s', big Oh! my Gosh! we know that Howard is listening attentively. When Mr. Buffum gets through with him, we know that the University of Pennsyl- vania will be able to look forward to a first class student. Keep up the good work at Penn, Howard, and we know you will succeed. Page Twenty-tbree CHARLES ALLEN MacMASTER September 19, 1924 454 Jefferson Avenue, Elizabeth Maru Syracuse Record Board 3, 4g Sports Editor 45 Blue Book Board 3, 4, Business Manager 4, Baseball Manager 4, Athletic Executive Committee 4g Chess Club 2, Secretary 4g Bridge Club 2, 3. Here is a boy with a ready word and grin for everybody, who promises to set the world on fire. Judging from his work as Business Manager of the Blue Book and as sports editor of the Record, Charlie is not one who lets any problem get the better of a MacMaster. Don't think that he knows his sports only from the sidelines, though, for didn't Charlie score the Seniors' lonely touchdown in the game with the Juniors? N0 matter where you go after leaving Pingry, Charlie, we won't wish you luck, because you won't need it. EDWARD SCUDDER MACKEY June 21, 1924 635 Union Avenue, Elizabeth Semi Lehigh Student Council 3, 43 Baseball 3, 43 Captain 4, Basketball 4, Senior Literary Club 4, Athletic Executive Committee 4. Scudder is one of the few boys who entered Pingry in the First Grade. He is an untiring, industrious, versatile fellow with an undying loyalty for everything into which he has ven- tured to enter. Baseball and basketball have taken up almost all of his athletic activity, for he has become proficient in both sports. Scudder's notorious reticence and undemonstrativeness have made him one of the finest and best liked of his class.

Ed has been a mainstay of Pingry from the First Grade. During his extended attendance to our beloved insti- tution he has almost become an integral part of Pingry. Even now, whenever anyone enters the library between 8:30 and 3, he can see Ed industriously working to become more erudite. He has made a big name for himself in this respect and has recently become a member of that select group, the Cum Laude. As well as being president of his class in the Middle School, he was also the Secretary-Treasurer of the Fifth Form. All in all, Ed has had a very satisfactory and successful edu- cational sojourn at Pingry and we all wish him the best of luck in Princeton and in whatever career he chooses. THOMAS JUSTIN MULLEN, JR. June 10, 1924 Oldwick Road, Whitehouse, N. Town Lehigh Blue Book 4, Camera Club 35 Photography Club 4, French Club 43 Record Board 45 Rifle Club 3, 4. It was only in the last few years that we discovered that Tomy was an expert photographer. Since then, he and Clif-F' Gehring have turned out many masterpieces for both the Blue Book and the Record. Tom deserves a great deal of credit for most of the fine informals printed in this book. Although at first quiet and a bit shy, as a Senior, he is one of the most popular of this class. We are all sure that he'll do well at Lehigh, but good luck anyhow, Tom,'!

Robert Peets, better known as Commodore,,' is the first member of the Navigation Club. He is Commodore of the advanced group. He has done three years of conscientious work on the Dance Committee and as a reward for his effort, he was elected Chairman of the Committee for this year. His athletic accomplishments include three years of record-break- ing swimming. He excelled in the breast stroke. Bohn is a favorite of the class because of his undying humor. HAROLD GEORGE PIERSON June 3, 1923 897 East Broad Street, Westfield, N. J. Pierce Duke Blue Book 4, Advertising 4. Although he has been with us for little more than a year, Pierce,' has nonetheless carved a place for himself in Pingry. Wherever small groups gather to pass the time of day or discuss the international situation, his smiling face and ready wisecracks are to be found. Indeed, it is particularly this ability to enliven even the bluest Monday with cheerful banter that has made Harold so popular. Perhaps to this should be added his amazing store of information, for, as the class cosmopolitan, he is always elected to name the best places of entertainment at the cheapest prices. Good luck in Duke, Pierce.', Page Tweniy-six 7-X Siu n-u-:QN FQ-AS: EE :ami- .mn-12 .-1.-11, Nw Shar 2-...G QE GEORGE WILLIAM WILMOT January 16, 1922 Du Pont Club, Parlin Willie V Business Foootball 45 Basketball 4g Baseball 4.

His previous secondary training was at Romford, Washington, Conn. Wilmot is outstanding in an- other respect. He possesses the class's oldest car and when it is running he travels all the way from his south Jersey home.

One of the really interesting characters of this year's Senior Class is Everett Reid, the King of the Comeback , however, Everett,s talent lies not only in the field of repartee and petty banter, but also in the honorable sport of tennis, where he excels. Bowdoin will need a very capable man to outscore Evvy in either tennis or persiflage. They will be getting a man with many talents in wit, sport and driving. Above all, however, theyill be getting a really swell fellow. Page Tweniy-seven l JOHN ARTHUR SCHARWATH August 6, 1923 24 Aberdeen Road, Elizabeth I0hnnie Business and Pace Ins. Camera Club 4, Secretary and Treasurer 4, Aviation Club, Secretary and Treasurer, Hobby Club 2, Museum Club 1. John, another illustrious member of the Business Depart- ment, is also one of those reticent, industrious individuals who frequent Pingry's fair halls. Because he leaves school early every afternoon, hardly anyone besides the business classes really know him. Since he keeps pretty much to himself out- side of school, we know John only as a boy who, while in school, never ventures forth from the Business Room, except on special occasions. Anyone so wrapped up in his work will undoubtedly succeed in whatever branch of business he chooses to follow. Best of luck, John! RICHARD E. TURK October 6, 1925 34 Emerson Avenue, Staten Island, N. Y. Dick, Dartmouth Fencing 2, 3, Literary Club 4, Chess Club 1, 2, Rifle Club 2, 3, 45 French Club 4. Dick's party in March for the Senior Literary Club hasn't been forgotten yet. Besides the ease which he has in throwing a party, he's also an expert in fencing and a con- noisseur of firearms. Seniors, in the future looking back on the-ir days at Pingry, will remember him as the boy who used to ask the teachers good, hard questions. Always good- humored and eager to gather more knowledge, there remains no doubt that he,ll get everything that's coming to him at Dartmouth in the next four years. The rest of the class joins in wishing you, Dick, success and good luck!

Page Tlairly-Iwo :j0l lf1fL T his year's Fifth Form is as intelligent a collection of boys as Pingry has seen in a long time. The President of this year's class is Ed Kammler and Vice-President is John Bundschuh, while Jack Benedict ably fills the office of Secretary-Treasurer. Don Williams and Jack deVoe fulhll the office of the Student Council members. This form, in the past, has not been a particularly studious aggregation of boys, but this year the class has come through with flying colors. The form has not only turned out to be very versatile, but also has produced a collection of real athletes. This year there were many Fifth Formers on the football team: Captain Ed Kammler, Captain-elect Jack deVoe, Don Herold, Joe Engelson, Bob Hueston, David Heilner, Russ Meyers, Jack Benedict and Nelson Newcomb. In the winter season, Joe Engelson, Bill Dealaman, and Harry Heitman all contributed to the basketball squad while Captain Bob Hueston, Roland, King, David Heil- ner and George Pollard performed outstandingly on the swimming squad. In the winter term of this year there was a new team reintroduced at school. This was the Pingry hockey squad. Many boys of the Fifth Form were members, namely, Ed Kammler, Bob Hueston, Nelson New- comb, Dexter Lenci and Jack Benedict. During the spring season in baseball there were Bill Dealaman, Don Herold, Joe Engelson, Nelson Newcomb and Don Williams, while in track were Jim Anderegg, Ed Kammler, Jack deVoe, David Heilner, John Bundschuh and Bob Hueston. On the tennis squad of this year were George Pollard and Jack Benedict. We are happy to see a great improvement in the boys, both in their studies and in their many positions on the athletic teams.

Page Tbirly-four j0lfl,l lfA gj0l l'VL This year's Fourth Form, or Sophomore Class, with forty-four members is the largest class in the whole school, as it has been in the past for several years. Such a large class is certain to have a great number of boys going out for various sports and extra-curricular activities besides the normal school routine. This was the case with the Fourth Form. There were so many boys participating in outside activities that it is necessary to name a few. The Fourth Form football team was notable for its fine record in competition with outside teams from the surrounding locality. Under Captain Bill Brown and Acting Captain Ed Beach, the eleven known as the Second Team won three games, tied three, and lost only one game. This is a Very good record and it is one of the best that a Second Team has had in many years. Great credit is due to the unsung hero of the team, Coach Stokes. In the winter sports, Ken Heitman played on the basketball team and Don White founded the hockey team late in the season. Henry Kreh, Dave Penny and Jack Ward swam on the varsity swimming squad. This Spring many of the Fourth Form have gone out for the base- ball varsity team. Among them are Bud Kreh, Ed Beach and Don White. Other boys are going out for the Diebolt Sluggers Some of the other boys of the Fourth Form are represented on the track and tennis teams. Several of these players will be on the varsity of the various teams, in all probability. In the other extra-curricular activities, the boys of the Fourth Form are represented, in various clubs and organizations of the School. These boys are on the Record Staff, the Rod and Gun Club, the Radio Club, the Camera Club and the Navigation Club. One of the most important activities of the Fourth Form was the publication of the all-French newspaper Jacques Bonhommef, The paper was founded last year by Norman B. Tomlinson, Jr., and Mr. Theodore L. Mayhew, the faculty adviser. For two years this paper has been published and during this time Jacques Bonhomme has always been successful. The paper was founded for the purpose of giving the boys on the staff a working, practical knowledge in French. Thus, the Fourth Form has made its mark at the School this year. The boys have worked well together and great things are expected from them next year when it will be the Fifth Form. As the great British general Wavell said: We have met with some successes, some reversesf' The Fourth Form is certain to be in there with the best next year.

One of them has left Pingry, but two are still here-Mahlon Scott and Dick McManus. The following year there was one addition and one sub- traction. Dick McManus left in the Second Grade, and Don O'Brien joined the ranks. In the Third Grade Dick returned, again bringing the total to three pupils. Jack Lehmann and Mahlon Pitney added themselves to the roll call in the Fourth Grade, and the next year found Jack Long among them. When our heroes began their three years under Mr. Vars, there were four recruits: Alby Doggett, Bill Syms Qboth of these boys left Pingry soon after, only to return this yearj , Hunter Finch, and Bob Nutt. Fol- lowing up in the First Form were Harry Hoyt and Dave Miller. The Second Form found threemore additions: Al Bauer, Davy Cud- lipp, and Robert Spear. The Third Form has been a red-letter year for the class of ,45 since there have been fifteen new boys: Alvan Alley, Ed Betteridge, Mike de- Camp, Charlie Geran, Art Hilsinger, Ted Janeway, Bob Jones, Red Mc- Clain, Ed Osmun, Harvey Petty, Bill Purdy, Bob Smith, Dick Tracy, Kent Truslow and Fred Walker. The honorable class of 1945 has never been noted for any special extra-curricular activities except sports. Throughout its existence our class has been outstanding in football and baseball. Last year a few Middle-Schoolers did try a hand at acting, but only about three were forty-fivers. Again this year a handful of our class are attempting dramatics in the capacity of the Third Form Dramatic Club. At the time this book goes to press, we hope our original play con- cerning a bogus detective and his exploits will have been produced, but, as yet we have to convince someone to play a rather large part. Please do not be surprised if you have never heard of the Third Form Dramatic Club, as most people havenit-only a few Third Formers. There are many members of our class who are noted for their shining intellects. Among them are Alvan Alley, Davy Cudlipp, Harry Hoyt, Art Hilsinger, Red McClain, Dick McManus, Don O'Brien, and Bob Smith. In closing I would like, in behalf of the Third Form, to wish the Seniors the best of luck in their future enterprises, and add that we Fresh- men hope that we have a better world to graduate into. Page Thirty-seven lfwilfawd eloowlfmenlf n the last few years, our business department has grown ment is under the instruction of Mr. Victor A. Diebolt, a graduate of Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Diebolt came to us in nineteen thirty-nine, and for the last three years has done an excellent job in the business de- partment. He has won the respect and affection of every boy who ever took a course with him. I believe that one of the reasons that Mr. Diebolt is so well liked is that he pos- sesses a keen sense of humor and a genial companionship with all the boys. Mr. Diebolt conducts his classes on an in- formal basis, appealing to our sense of honor to conduct our- selves as gentlemen. He has certainly proved that this method of teaching not only keeps the class in reasonable order, but also gives the boys a sound understanding of the subject. The courses in the business department are as follows: Introduction to Business, usually a Fourth Form subject, consisting of a general survey of business and its methods, First-year Bookkeeping: a course in elementary Bookkeeping and business Mathematics, Commercial Geography, which is a course in world commerce and industryg Economics: a study of business and e:onomicsg Second-Year Bookkeeping: accounting principles and problemsg Commercial Law: a course in general law, methods of charges, suits and sys- tems of justice. Until the war and its restrictions, we were able to visit a great many plants, busi- nesses and industries, but all we've been able to do this year has been to attend court sessions. Trips of this nature have always been very interesting and instructive and we hope it won't be long before they may be resumed. Page Tbirly-eight into a vital part of Pingry's curriculum. The depart- WML Sim! The school year of 1941-42 has been a record year for the Middle School, which had a large attendance of seventy-nine boys. The First Form had the most pupils, with the Sixth Grade and Second Form not far behind. Perhaps the most gratifying fact was the number of new pupils, which amounted to seventeen. This year a new teacher was added to the staff, consisting of Mr. Vagj Mr. Atwater, and Mr. Knoke, to take Mr. Parks' place. The new teacher is Mr. Barlow and he teaches English and history. To some of the newer boys in Pingry, the Middle School is more or less taken for granted. Some pupils have never thought much about when it was started. It sprang from an idea of Mr. Vars who, in 1920, suggested that he be allowed to take the first two forms and organize them into what is now called the Middle School. From then until 1937 the First and Second Forms were upstairs in the building. In 1937, however, the Sixth Grade was added and the three classes were moved downstairs and have re- mained there ever since. There are a number of clubs in which the Middle School boys take part. The Museum Club is just what the name implies. It consists of boys who have started a col- lection of curios and have kept adding to it and now have a fine collection. The official Middle School paper, The Scroll, also has a large membership. The Stamp Club is another organization in which much interest is shown. In addition, a number of Sec- ond Formers belong to the Rifle Club. In every way, this has been a record year, but we hope that the record will be beaten next year. Page Thirty-nine Olfllelf' 5300! The Lower School believes in learning through participation and therefore many varied activities are carried out during the school year. There are general activities in which the school participates as a whole, such as the Council, the newspaper and Chapel programs. In addition to these interests each class, including the departments of Art, Gymnasium and Music have individual projects in progress throughout the course of the year. The First Grade boys studied the life of Lincoln through building a cabin, and sur- roundings of clay. They collected cans, wire and paper for the various defense organ- izations. They planted bulbs and seeds for the garden, and took an active part in the Reading Club. They kept a chart of library books read during the course of the year. The Second Grade boys built a Pilgrim village in November. They did a great deal of creative writing and often illustrated their articles with drawings and paint- ings. The Indians and the Jack-O-Lanternsf, a play, was presented for their mothers. In their gymnasium period, Mr. Williams taught them to use stilts which they made with Mrs. MacMillen's help during their Art lessons. Page Forly Drill in arithmetic fundamentals is an important part of the Third Grade cur- riculum. To motivate this drill, teams were formed and much interest was shown in the accomplishment of the Blues and the 'tWhites. A chart was kept of news- paper articles written by the boys and published in the Lower School News. Book re- views and reports are begun in this grade and much library reading is done, which was motivated by a Reading Club. The boys conducted Chapel and presented a suc- cessful program for their mothers in March. Study of territorial expansion in the United States and a great deal of map study took place in the Fourth Grade. The Science Club was organized, and experiments in food testing and seed germination were carried out. These boys also assisted in Chapel during the year by checking each morning in placing the chairs and hymnals, and in choosing the songs to be sung. The Fifth Grade boys formed an Airplane Club early in the year. They also con-a ducted quiz contests regularly, the questions being based on their Social Science lessons, The Damrosch Music Appreciation Hour comes on Friday, and this, with a Current Events Club, the editing of the Lower School News and offices in the Student Council, keep the boys busy and interested. The Art, Gymnasium and Music Departments make important contributions to the work of all the grades from the First through the Fifth, and classroom and special teach- ers cooperate, to present a well integrated program of mental and physical activity.

It is the Coun-cil's task to vindicate, admonish, or -castigate any osten- sible violations of the Honor System or general school rules. The Council is the con- nection which brings the boys and the faculty together on a more equal and unbiased basis when contemplating some problem. It is a completely independent organization which is subject only to the suggestions of the Headmaster. The Student Council has jurisdiction over all supervision of rules in the Upper School. In addition to its judicial and executive functions, the Council performs the duty of official sales force at the very popular candy stand. This business is handled ex- clusively by the group and all the proceeds go toward the purchase of some suitable and universally beneficial improvement for the school. As is customary, the Council again drew up a given set of rules at the beginning of the year concerning various regulations, privileges, and prohibitions. These were pub- lished in the Pingry Record so that every boy, old and new, would be aware of the Council's stand on any violations. Fortunately, this year there were very few viola- tions of any of the above rules, but, since the function of the Council is as much pre- ventive as curative, it was a good reflection upon this year's group. The president of the Sixth Form, Dick English, was chairman, Hans Angermueller, secretary, and Scudder Mackey, the other senior member. DeVoe and Williams were the Junior Class members, while Hopkins and O'Brien were the Sophomore and Freshman representatives, respectively. Page Forty-four ozuigafion he Pingry Navigation Club might now be classed as a permanent organization of the school. The Club was started three years ago by a group of boys who were all interested in sailing and navigation. This year several new boys wanted to join and, since the older group had covered all the basic phases of navigation, an elementary sec- tion was formed. So now the Navigation Club is, in reality, a very pleasant two-year course in piloting and boat handling. During the first year the boys study the rules of the road, the use of charts and instruments, government publications, and the principles of terrestrial navigation. In the second, or advanced year, the boys study celestial naviga- tion and really learn practical, salt water navigation. Twice during the year, both sections have met at Mr. and Mrs. Springer's home for their recreation meetings. Very interesting sailing movies were shown and the boys exchanged Salty Yarns. All the members of the club proudly wear their club pins. These pins, a small inscribed gold steering wheel, are something new this year and it is hoped the custom will be carried on in the future. This year the advanced group was fortunate to receive an invitation to attend two celestial navigation lectures in the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. These lec- tures were illustrated by means of the Planetarium's huge projector and they cleared up many navigation mysteries for the boys. just recently the boys have been taking noon sightsv on the athletic field. These practical exercises prove to the boys that they really can navigate. All of these activities of the club in back of the club itself could not exist if it were not for our very capable Headmaster, Mr. Springer. Mr. Springer is himself a very active sailor and navigator and we are indeed fortunate to have a man of his nautical experience to lead us. Page Foriy-fi Zoom! Mara! To use a somewhat hackneyed expression, the Record Board this year enjoyed a suc- cessful season of publishing. Under the wing of Mr. Mayhew, the members worked smoothly and efficiently. As opposed to the all-night gatherings of years past, the bi-weekly conventions polished off work at about nine o'clock. The paper received a third place rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association,s contest. The heads of the organization were Fred Gordon and Hans Angermueller, Editor-in- Chief and Managing Editor respectively. The posts of Associate Editors were held down by Paul d'Esterhazy, Jack Brenner, Hugh Spilsbury, and Cary Carpender, while Charles MacMaster acted as Sports Editor, Lyell Whyte as Business Manager, Dick Hughes as Circulation Manager, aided by Shayne Dillon and Donald Roth, and Tom Mullen and Cliff Gehring as Staff Photographers. All credit for grammatical excellency belongs to Edwin Miller and Dick Turk, the proof-readers extraordinary. Warren Horre kept the school advised as to the activities of the name bands in his In the Grooves column, while Bob Gamble, Dick English, and Bob Braeder tended to the sporting events in school. Contributors of articles of general interest were Don Herold, William Cock- shott, Norman Tomlinson, Dexter Lenci, Henry Kreh, and Richard Killough. Despite the rising cost of publications due to the war, the Recon! managed to keep its proverbial head within shouting distance of the surface financially. All in all, then, the Record had a fairly successful year. Page Foriy-six EKU!! MOL EMF! ' I 'he Blue Book Board has been much smaller this year for several reasons, the most important of which is that the Editor is able to have closer contact with the differ- ent phases of the work. It has been proven this year that this is a very satisfactory plan. The staff this year was as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Charles Clarke, Business Man- ager, Charles MaeMasterg Faculty Adviser, Mr. Theodore Mayhew. We have all worked to the best of our ability to make this year's Blue Book a success. We have had to econ- omize in many places because of the war and its inconveniences, but we have tried to give you the things you want most in a year book. We owe a great deal of thanks to Mr. Mayhew, Miss Crane and Mrs. King for their as- sistance. We also want to thank cliff Gehring and Tom Mullen for their work in get- ting the Senior informals, and to Harold Pierson for his help in the advertising depart- ment, and all the boys and teachers who wrote for the Blue Book this year. The Record Board deserves a lot of thanks for their help this year in writing for us and in cooperating so well with us in all publication questions. Hugh Spilsbury has, in many ways, been of great assistance to the Editor. Special mention is due also to Jerome King for the pen and ink sectional dividers. P.1ge Forfy-srvefz we angry pfayerd Gnly a few of last yearls members were on hand as the '42 season got under way, and with a play of unusual difficulty selected as the year's production, it was with a dubious spirit of adventure that the rehearsals for 'tThunder Rockn got under way. Mr. France, in collaboration with the two officers of the club, President Paul d'Ester- hazy and Secretary John Brenner, finally rounded out a cast deemed capable of -carrying out che heavy assignment. With Paul d'Esterhazy in the difficult leading role, Hans Angermueller, Fred Gordon, William Cameron, Jack Williams, James Anderegg, and Dexter Lenci were selected to play the other male parts. From Vail-Deane came Shirley Hull, Nancy Reeb and Lois Hill to play the feminine roles. This fine cast gave an excel- lent account of itself and raised to a more advanced level the high standard of the Pingry stage. For the success of the performance, recognition is due not only the members of the east, but also the members of the stage crew, headed by Dick Hughes and consisting of Jack Anderegg, Edwin Miller, David Heilner, John Nagle and Butler Heilner. Great credit is due Mr. France, whose duty it was to familiarize this young and inexperienced cast with stage work. The Pingry Players again provided the Vail-Deane Players with their male char- acters, and in their production, also a difficult one, Pride and Prejudice, was Jack Bren- ner. Also acquitting themselves well in this production were Peter Cockshott, Hugh Spilsbury, Mac Cashmore, Donald Herold, Lyell Whyte and Everard Pinneo. Secretary Jack Brenner, after his grand performance, joined the Pingry cast, and carried out a smaller assignment. Many of these fine actors, including d,Esterhazy and Brenner, will be missed from Pingry's halls next year, and it is with sincere regret that we look forward to their de- parture from our midst. Page Forfy-cigbt CP!lif8lf'0'Llf'y ne of the more quiet clubs of the school, the Literary Club, has nevertheless carried out a large and interesting program during the past year. Its members are chosen from that group of boys in the Senior Class who have displayed the greatest interest in literary works, and the exclusive club has as its faculty adviser the head of the English Department, Mr. C. A. France. Headed by President Hans Angermueller, the following boys have participated in the club's activities during the season just closed: Fred Gordon, Cary Carpender, Richard Turk, Paul d'Esterhazy, Edwin Miller and Scudder Mackey. The aforementioned savants make it a habit to hold their entertaining meetings at the homes of their brother members, with refreshments offering no small incentive to such gatheringsg Gourmand', Angermueller gained his widespread fame through the medium of just such assemblies. However, it may not truthfully be said that the Senior Literary Club was an en- joyable escape from honest labor. This was not the case. True, the work done by its seven members is all voluntary, but it is work nevertheless. Joseph Conrad was studied throughout the year, and the greater portion of his works were reviewed and minutely discussed. Strange as it may seem to many, the exhaustive study of Conrad seemed to have just gotten under way when June, with the accompanying thoughts of examina- tions and graduation, overtook the learned group-proof that the club had entered thor- oughly into the spirit and enjoyment of its self-imposed mission. Page Forly-nine ga era This year, the Glee Club started its season with only three boys of previous experience. However, quite a number of boys, representing all the classes, came out and made up our Glee Club. Under Mr. Clark's able teaching they are fast becoming good singers. The Club sings in Chapel once a week. Since March, however, they have been singing there several times a week. At the Christmas Chapel Service the carols were sung by the Glee Club. The fact that everyone was dressing in choir gowns made an impressive sight. The Club made a very successful trip to New York to sing at the Bowery Mission, with which Mr. Clark is associated. Mr. Clark has formed a group of seven boys including Bill Trapp, Bob Opie, Jack Clemence, Bill Brooks, Don Cooper, Don Aspinall and Bob McKeever which has been very successful with its audiences. One boy worthy of special mention is Bill Trapp, the Club President. Bill has done a fine job and deserves a lot of credit. Under Mr. Clark's training, the Glee Club has made great progress towards becom- ing a grade A club and, with this experience, next year we ought to see it right up on top. Page Fifiy GPCA85 lfl 6lf This year, as in the past four, the orchestra has been under the able leadership of Mr. August May of the Elizabeth Philharmonic Orchestra. Despite difficulties result- ing from lack of time and orchestral balance, the orchestra under his guidance has rapidly become a well-developed organization. In the fall of the year, attention was turned to sectional ensembles, each rehearsing separately. Later, the groups were combined to form the complete orchestra. As this system seems to have worked very efficiently, it is Mr. May's plan to continue it next year. Already this year the orchestra has given a program in chapel and several more are anticipated. The Orchestra also combined with the Glee Club in the Choral Service at Christmas. At this date, plans are Well under way for the Fifth Annual Spring Concert to be given some time in May. Great credit is due the boys for the energy and time they have spent, and likewise to Mr. Springer for having conceived and carried out the idea of a Pingry Orchestra. However, none of this could have been so efficiently done without the perseverance and ability of Mr. May, who has brought to every member of the Orchestra a very full appre- ciation of music. Page Fifty--one at Cla he 1942 Rifle Club entered its season with only four former members, but the ad- dition of new members at frequent 'intervals has made the Club the largest that Pingry has seen yet. From the twenty-five odd members, teams have been chosen for competition, according to ability. Although no teams have as yet been entered into competition, a squad will probably enter the Interscholastic Rifle Match at Union Junior College and several other matches. The Captain of this year's team and President of the Club was Cary Carpender, who was advanced from the position of Lieutenant, which he held last year. His assistant was Fred Steiermann, the Lieutenant of this year's team. Due to the increase in member- ship, four faculty advisors have participated on different days of the week, namely, Mr. Dimock, Mr. deGryse, Mr. Buffum and Mr. Diebolt. The work of this year's Club has taken on a new significance, for without doubt the practice in shooting encountered by the boy, in this organization, will aid to some degree in the training of the man for the army and the defense of the -country at large. Therefore, the relatively exclusive membership, formerly selected by competition, has given way to a type of membership open to anyone desiring to master the fundamentals of rifle shooting. Hence, even though a boy may not be placed on a team, an invaluable source of information and practice is afforded, under the careful instruction of the faculty advisers. Likewise members of the Club were fortunate in again securing per- mission to practice on a range constructed last year in the Central Baptist Church, at the time the Government closed its armories to civilian practice. Inasmuch as the major portion of this year's Club will return next year, a fine season is anticipated and to this end we wish the 1943 Team all the luck in the world. Page Fiffy-fwo Q6! GLVL6! gftlflf nee again, and this for the third consecutive year, the budding sportsmen of the School have joined that mighty clique and sportsman's paradise-the Rod and Gun Club, which is incidentally one of the most promising organizations founded in Pingry in recent years. Within the confines of Mr. Dimock's classroom, there are killed weekly numberless record game and fish specimens, to the tune of anecdotes of former expedi- tions afield, now much enhanced by time. Moreover, the members of the Club, aspiring to greater heights than weekly discussion, embarked upon an expedition to the annual Sportsman's Show to hear others tell of the wonders of their respective habitats. Fur- thermore, various hunting and fishing trips have been arranged among the members, ef- forts which brought notable success as evidenced by the fur and feathers attached to sundry hats. Entertaining a desire to inform the school at large of its activities, the Club presented several programs in Chapel to achieve this end. Likewise the Club has stocked the Library with sporting magazines and books throughout the year. The officers of the Club have now held their positions since the founding of the Club three years ago, as the greater part of the membership has included new boys each year. Warren Horre was the president and a lad capable withal of as great an anecdote as the next man, Cary Carpender was the secretery and the second of the great raconteurs of notable hunting and fishing yarnsg and Fred Gordon was the treasurer and third member of the brotherhood of narrators of fish and game fables. Notwithstanding, these aged sportsmen know full well how to handle pole or shooting iron, as do all the members of the organization. The Club was fortunate in again securing the services of the greatest of all contemporary sportsmen, Mr. Dimock, as Faculty Adviser. Mr. Dimock himself has been on many trips to various parts of North America and is equally well versed in the lore of the woods and camping as in gunning and angling, and was often able to enliven the program by varied sage bits of advice and experience. Page Fifty-fbrce ance ommilflfee The social program at Pingry this year has been an exceedingly successful one. All of the dances were exceptionally well attended and the general spirit of the boys towards dances has greatly improved. This year's hard working Dance Committee made up of Robert Peets, chairman, Butler Heilner, Robert Gamble, Hans Angermueller, and Jack deVoe, has brought to Pingry some of the finest dance bands in this vicinity. The Pingry social season was started off by a very delightful informal dance held at Newark Academy the night of the Pingry-Newark Academy football game. A large crowd from Pingry turned out to hear Donweedon and his Omegans and by the end of the evening even the dampened spirits of the football rooters had been revived. Next came the annual Football Dance. The Pingry Gym was appropriately decorated with football jerseys, helmets, varsity letters and field markers. Don Gibson and his orchestra, the old Pingry stand-by supplied us with his sweet, but solidn swing arrangements. A few weeks later, the Dance Committee announced the date for the annual formal Christmas Dance. Carl Madison, a new band personality for Pingry was introduced and his music was undoubtedly among the finest that Pingry has ever heard. The gym was decorated, to keep in the spirit of the season, with white Christmas bells and evergreen boughs. The last dance arranged by the 1941-42 dance committee was the Spring Dance. The committee did an exceptionally fine job in presenting this, their last dance and their efforts were repaid in full by the record crowd of couples which attended. Very fine music was provided for this informal dance by Gint Dexter and his band. Gint', was presented here for the first time and from the enthusiasm aroused, it seems he will be engaged again by Pingry in the near future. Page Fiffy-four Gtlflfglftdge The Language Club, an innovation at Pingry, is made up of two sections, the French and the German. Mr. deGryse is the faculty advised to both groups. These two clubs were inaugurated so that boys who have taken three years of French or two years of German, would be able to keep up the particular language which they have learned here at Pingry. To be eligible for membership a boy must not be taking a course in the language of the Club to which he aspires fellowship. The polyglots at the presi- dency of the two sections are: Carl Holmes for the German, and Peter Cockshott for the French. These boys are assisted by students of no less linquistic talent who are in the cihce of secretary-treasurer. The German Club secretary is Paul d'Esterhazy, while in the French Club Cary Carpcnder holds the envied position. That this enterprise was suc- cessful, no small credit is due to the head of the language department, Mr. deGryse. It was he who formulated che plans for this undertaking. The program of the French Club, at the beginning of the year, was a study of French literature from eight hundred A. D. to the epoch of Racine, Moliere and Corneille, but since mid-years the time has been occupied mainly in a study of Cyrano de Ber- geracf' All members of this organization receive a French paper, La Voix de Francef' weekly. At the meetings, which are held every Thursday in the activities' period, only the French language is spoken. The German Club's feature that has been universally proclaimed by members, is a study of Goethe and his works. Page Fifly-fi ue le jim!! ZZWJ Wlxtdglflflflfl R 0'Ll0flf8lf'6L For many years Pingry students have tried to organize a Camera Club which would really be a worthwhile activity. Usually such a club was unable to arouse the interest and support of the students, and so it was disbanded. However, this year under the leadership of Cliff Gehring a new Camera Club was organized. Mr. Grim consented to be the Faculty Adviser, and his interest in the Club was largely responsible for its success. The Club subscribes to the Complete Photographer, a magazine which deals with all practical forms of photography. About every three or four weeks, the Club holds a contest concerning some subject of interest selected by the members. The best pictures in each group are selected by vote of the members, and then are entered in a semi-annual contest. These entries are put on exhibition and are judged by an expert who is willing to give some free time to the Club. The winners re- ceive cash prizes if there is any money left in the treasury. By this system of con- tests the Club manages to draw the interest of the boys and keeps the meetings from turning into worthless sessions. Several boys who have good cameras and equipment have really learned how to use them and get their full value in this Club. This is a great accomplishment and is a credit to the members of the Camera Club. Page Fifty-:even Offer Kfafa Under the supervision of Mr. Grim, the Radio Club was organized in the middle of the year and immediately became quite popular. In Wartime, radio work is vital to civilian defense as well as to the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The Radio Club en- ables the boys to gain valuable experience as well as enjoyment in exploring the funda- mentals of radio. The interest of the boys produced fine results and the club is un- doubtedly here to stay. As time Went on, the boys' familiarity with radio developed, and although meetings were only held once a week, much ground was gained. The Radio Club has studied much about the transmission of electro-magnetic waves. Boys who took scientific subjects in their regular curriculum were more acquainted with the principles of radio than those who had not taken them and likewise all boys taking scientific subjects were aided by their experience in the Radio Club. ,W Another brand-new club was organized this year-the Junior Dramatic Club. The Club is entirely separate from the Senior Dramatic Club. Mr. France, also faculty adviser of the Senior Club, directs the Junior group. The Club's formation was partly inspired by the large number of younger boys who applied at the beginning of the year for mem- bership in the Senior Dramatic Club. The Junior Dramatic Club is restricted to Third and Fourth Formers only. Seven boys comprise the Club. Meetings were not held on regular dates, but the Club met often. During the winter, the boys presented a short radio skit entitled, A Passenger to America. After several rehearsals, the skill of the boys developed and the finished per- formance went over well. The scene of the production was set in a London tavern and dealt with the meeting of an exiled French nobleman about to depart for the United States and the exiled American general, Benedict Arnold. The qualities, liberties and future of the sturdy, young American republic were compared with the blood-stained, miserable condition of Europe. The Cast performed well and a good job was done in handling the technical chores. The boys, experience groomed them for participation in the Senior Dramatic Club, gave Mr. France a chance to select prospective talent, and gave the boys more poise in public speaking. Everard Pinneo, Junior Dramatic Club mem- ber, was elected into next year's Senior Dramatic Club. ,Q Outstanding among the minor clubs is the Hobby Club. Mr. Young, manual train- ing instructor, supervised the group's activities. Meetings were held in the shop once every week. About five boys formed the nucleus of the Club, and others came in oc- casionally. The Hobby Club provided the boys with an excellent opportunity to enjoy their hobby, construct useful articles such as tables, shelves, etc. The fine facilities of the shop were of great advantage to the boys. After the spring recess, the Club under- took an extensive program of model airplane construction in conjunction with national defense. Under Mr. Young's leadership, the boys worked hard and successfully. Through- out the year, much work was done in the building of sanding machines for use in the boys' own homes. No officers were elected by the Club. Page Fifty-eight 69 .f4iAAfica ,fgljtdlfic giceclftfiue Qmmiffee For many years, the group known as the Athletic Executive Committee has functioned in a quiet and unassuming manner. The Committee meets at the end of each season to sanction the awarding of letters to boys who played on the teams during that season. Special meetings are called whenever necessary to decide on any athletic policies. The president of the student body is che chairman and the teams represented with coach, captain and manager are Football, Soccer, Basketball, Swimming, Baseball, Tennis and Track. The permanent members of the committee are Mr. Williams, Director of Ath- letics and Football and Baseball Coach, Mr. Lesneski, Assistant Director of Athletics and Basketball and Track Coach, Mr. Dimock, Tennis Coach, and Mr. West, Soccer Coach. The president of the student body, the captains and managers serve only during the year in which they are elected to their respective positions. Page Sixty Battle Creek Normal School of Physical Ass't Director of Playsical Education, Q06 ed REESE WILLIAMS Director of Physical Education Education, Springfield College VINCENT L. LESNESKI General Science Arnold College, B.S.P.E. Pingry School is fortunate in having several men on its faculty who are capable of coaching one or more sports. Mr. Stokes, a new member of the faculty this year, has fitted right into the athletic program, and has been of great assistance in coaching second teams in basketball and football. Last year, Mr. Diebolt made his debut as a baseball coach and took charge of a group of older boys who did not make the first team. Our math. teacher, Mr. West, has shown a great deal of interest in soccer and has coached that sport for several years. Although the team has won very few victories over a period of years, it has maintained a fine competitive spirit. This is due, in a great measure, to the excellent guidance dis- played by its coach. Last winter, when the hockey team was -in need of a coach, Mr. West volunteered his services. During the past five years, Mr. Atwater has coached the third teams in baseball and football. His knowledge of these games and his continued enthusiasm have been a big factor in developing many fine players for the first teams. This year, the swimming team has enjoyed a successful season. Mr. Peters, who has coached the team for eight years, has performed miracles with the material that has reported to him each year. Two of his former pupils, Thomas Shrewsbury and John Manvel, are now members of college teams. Tom is captain of the Harvard team and John is a member of the Yale team. At the close of each swimming season, Mr. Peters conducts a class in Red Cross Life Saving. Although Mr. Peters is only a part-time coach, he is regarded very highly by all the boys and the faculty. Ever since Mr. Les came to Pingry, he has assisted with the coaching of most of the sports. He coached the swimming team during his first five years at school and then changed to coaching the basketball team when Mr. Peters was engaged to coach the swimming team. During his reign as basketball coach, he has developed several out- standing teams and many excellent players. In the fall, he assists with the coaching of the football team and in the spring he coaches the track team. Nearly two decades ago, Mr. Dimock began to coach our tennis teams. At that time, tennis was at a very low ebb. However, due to his expert guidance and enthusiasm, it has become one of the most popular sports at school. Mr. Dimock has coached a number of championship teams and developed several top notch players. For twenty-two years, I have enjoyed coaching the baseball and football teams, and assisting with most of the other sports. In victory and in defeat the associations with all the boys who have participated in these sports together with the contacts with the other coaches, have been of inestimable value to me. REESE WILLIAMS, Director of Physical Education. Page Sixty-one joofgaf lam The 1941-42 football season as shown by the statistics Was not highly successful. The team emerged victorious only twice out of six starts, but both Mr. Williams and Mr. Lesneski were pleased, in the ma- jority of the games, by the performance of the team. Mr. Williams and Mr. Lesneski labored vigorously this year to try and put a team on the field which would come off triumphant, but due to the lack of ex- perience, on the part of the team, this goal was not reached. The season started out with the team defeating a powerful and well- trained Riverdale Squad. Next we encountered a light Newman team and overpowered them rather easily. Last year was the first time the team had subdued Newman since 1932, so this made it two victories in a row. Following this came two very discouraging defeats at the hands of Morristown and a powerful Newark squad. The team was also de- feated by Carteret and Montclair. The team consisted for the most part of Juniors, with Engelson, Baker, Dealaman and Benedict playing the end positions. At tackle were Captain-elect deVoe, Knox, and Jack Anderegg, who all performed out- standingly. The guards were Dave Heilner, Cashmore and Meyers, all Page Sixty-Iwo of whom filled their positions well. Herold and Gamble ably filled the position of center, the key spot of the line. The backfield was built around four outstanding men, Captain Kammler, Wilmot, Hueston and Newcomb. Kammler did the end sweeps and broken Held running while Newcomb took care of the line plunging. Wilmot was our out- standing passer this year, while Benedict performed nobly as star kicker. The fact that there were only four Seniors on the s-quad contributed to the team's record. Next year both Mr. Williams and Mr. Lesneski hope for a better season. Their hopes are held high by the fact that eleven letter men will return next fall. - V1 - W , M H , r f ' U W1 1 X L f , W. ..

The record of this year's aggregation was five wins against six reverses for an average of .454. The victories were turned in against Newark Academy, Westfield, Newark South Side, and Newark West Side. Two wins were run up against the latter. The Natators were very ably led throughout the campaign by Captain Bob Hues- ton. Bob was also the winner for the fight for the high scoring honors in which de- partment he was the most proficient the year before. The other mainstays of the team were Bob Peets, the only Senior on the squad, Roland King, David Heilner, Bob Mayham and Dave Penny. To fill out the team there were Don Miller, Bud Kreh, Jack Ward, George Pollard and Jack Williams. All these boys have received a great deal of practical experience and with this it is hoped that the team will be able to boast the best season ever next year. A very odd thing occurred in the fight for top scorer in that four boys scored more than fifty points each. These boys were in order: Hueston, King, Peets and Heilner. This shows a great scoring punch and tells why, when the team lost, it was only by a very few points-usually the margin of one of the relays. With the developing of next year,s squad, it looks as if we will have more fifty pointers. Great credit is due the man behind the scenes, Mr. Peters. He has served for the past eight years as coach and it is the opinion of the boys that a better coach could not be had. Coach Peters' great ability to mold and develop raw material into top notchers has enabled him to turn out winning teams year after year. Page Sixly-ji ve 50,544 ldnfb The 1942 Basketball Team played through a hot and cold season. The quintet played their best ball against their strongest opponents and thennthey faltered against weaker teams. The entire team and squad were new this year. Last year's entire team graduated and this year Mr. Lesneski was faced with the problems of building up a team without a single letterman. All the boys on the squad had had little previous experience and they had never worked as a group before. Last year's team had played to- gether as juniors and their champion record was only attained through the efforts of our excellent coach, Mr. Les. The team won four games from Englewood, Stevens, and Newman and lost ten games. The team starred in defeat against Rahway, Newark, and Montclair. The team lost to these last two teams by one and three points margins. This year's squad consisted of Captain Carl Holmes, Vince Kuhn and Bill Dealaman at guardsg Joe Engelson, Scudder Mackey, Andy Knox, Page Sixty-six Dick English and Ken Heitman as forwards, and George Wilmot and Harry Heitman at center. Andy Knox and George Wilmot were high scorers. Russ Meyers was manager. This year's team extends its best wishes to Coach Lesneski. We Wish him and the boys of next year's team the best of luck and We hope that their team will learn as much teamwork and good sportsmanship from Mr. Les as he has taught us this year. Em. Em. .-.aiu .-.aiu P..-aq: 'P-Slq: N: l N: Page Sixty-seven elfmia ecmfz, Q fter the records chalked up by the tennis teams of years past, this year's squad will have its hands full keeping up to par. Hopes run high, however, since three of last season,s letter men are again destined to wield the racket for Pingry. Captained by Carl Holmes and aided by Fred Gordon and George Pollard, the team will play three singles and two doubles matches a meet. This setup will require one or two players in addition to those above, and fortunately there is no lack of material from which Mr. Dimock, the coach, can choose. Everett Reid, Jack Benedict, Lou Fuerer, Sam M:Keown, Dave McKinney and Jerry Goerke are the probable contenders for the open positions, and may give the veterans a fight for their money. The schedule as arranged by the manager, Bill Asher, is an exceptionally heavy one, with ten matches. These will all be away, with such schools as Trinity, Admiral Farra- gut, Peddie, Westfield, Newman, Blair, Carteret, and Hun. In addition, as in years past, the best players on the team will journey to Princeton for the interscholastics held there in May. On the whole, then, the teamis prospects are excellent, but, come what may, it is a sure thing that the squad will do its best. Page Sixiy-nigh! Zac .Clam With the advent of Spring, we once again observe the sight of some of the boys in shorts running around the track, limbering up for the coming season. As yet, no team has been formulated and it is hoped that the material on hand will prove adequate enough to form a winning combination. This year's aggregation will be led into battle by its Captain, Hugh Spilsbury. Be- sides Spilsbury there will be returning from last year's lettermen John Bundschuh, Eddie Kammler and possibly A1 Brunner. Around these, Mr. Les will try to fill out from a group comprised of Butler Heilner, Jack Anderegg, Jack deVoe, Roland King, Pete Sperry, Jack Cuneo and Shayne Dillon. The weights will be handled by Kammler, deVoe and Anderegg, while Kammler and Bundschuh will star in the broad jump. The pole vault and the high jump are still pending. In the running events, there is better variety. The 100 yard dash, along with the 220, will be taken over by Brunner and Dillon with Cuneo and Bundschuh in both the 220 and the 440. Spilsbury will handle the 880 and the mile and will be backed up by Heilner, Sperry, and King. John Bundschuh was the winner of the high scoring crown last year and has the inside lane on it this year, but only after a tough fight. John proved himself a triple- threat man last year and with sufficient help from the rest of the boys the team should be able to come through with some good meets. The responsibility of building the team will rest entirely upon Mr. Les' shoulders. So far, meets have been scheduled with Newark Academy and Montclair and it is hoped that we may also get meets with Roselle and Scotch Plains High schools. One or two other schools may be engaged so as to have one meet each week. Page Sixty-nine gddegdn jam This year's Blue Book went to press before the baseball season was far advanced. Coach Reese Williams is faced with the job of build- ing a new team with only one letterman returning from last year's State Champion team that won twelve games without a defeat or a tie. The veteran returning is Captain Scudder Mackey. Scudder is a versatile player who can be called on to fill any position, and when he isn,t in there pitching, he will be playing short-stop or the outfield. The team has a great abundance of potential power in both hit- ting and fielding. Every position will be filled by beating out the toughest competition and therefore there will be no loahng. Captain Mackey will be backed up on the pitching mound, by George Wilmot, Reynold Devinney, Nick Carpender, and Nelson Newcomb. In- field candidates are Scotty Knox and Ed Beach at first, Dick English and Nelson Newcomb at second, Donnie Williams and Bill Cameron at thirdg and Bill Dealaman and Paul d'Esterhazy at short. The out- ,Q Page Seveniy field will be patrolled by Mac Cashmore, Joe Engelson, Joe Gibson, Russ Meyers, and Don Herold. Dick Hughes and Buddy Kreh will be catching. Mr. Williams built up last year,s team after his State Champion team of 1939 and We are sure that with his brilliant coaching and with the Pingry spirit of this green team, another excellent ball club is on the Way to another good season. 0CC8lf' 861,144 Of all the School's teams, perhaps the Soccer Team plays consistently against the greatest odds, inasmuch as the team by necessity plays high schools, which have an extremely large field of choice. Therefore, all but one, namely the contest with Peddie School, of the nine games played were with high school teams. In spite of this handicap, the team acquitted itself extremely well and improved rapidly under the guidance of its coach, Mr. West, as may be observed by the scores encountered in connection with the crack Chatham team, 11-0 in the first game and 3-0 in the second game. The team this year played under the very able leadership of Captain Cary Carpender, a former letterman. Captain Carpender filled the backfield position, with the assistance of Paul d'Esterhazy and Louis Fuerer. The forward positions were covered by Hugh Spilsbury, john Brenner, John Bund- schuh, Donald White, Fred Gordon, and Captain-elect Harry Heitmang the halfback positions by William Asher, Jack Clemence, Edwin Miller, Fred Steiermann, Richard Tracy, and Richard Turk. The difficult position of goalie was maintained by Vincent Kuhn, with Arnold Whitaker as reserve. Although seven stalwart players will graduate this year, next year's team will in- clude a goodly number of experienced veterans, who will be led by Harry Heitman. This factor, combined with the noteworthy improvement of the team, tends to indicate the excellent season which is due to one of Pingry's most important teams and we take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck for the forthcoming season.
