: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. George is our class athlete. 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

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

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 Twen ly-eig bt Rxx 'xxx 2:-.qu
