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

Em. - 'NSN IFE EDWIN DUNLAP MILLER June 9, 1924 601 Irvington Avenue, Elizabeth Edu Princeton Record Board 49 French Club 4g Literary Club 45 Vice-Presi- dent of Class 2, Secretary-Treasurer of Class 35 Stage Crew 43 Blue Book 4. 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,'! Page Twen fy-five

He starred in football and basketball and is going out for baseball this spring. He is new to the class of '42. 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. George has the same willing spirit as his car and we know this spirit will carry him to the top of whatever business he chooses. EVERETT GORDON REID, JR. August 16, 1924 31 Woodbridge Avenue, Metuchen Ev Bowdoin Swimming 3, Tennis 3, 45 Record Board 35 Blue Book 4, French Club 4, Rod and Gun Club 2. 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
