NEW IERSEY 7943 Page Two PGREWORD Through the pages of this Blue Book We endeavor to embody in a tangible form a picture of Pingry-its spirit, its loyalty, its tradition and its prestige. But much escapes the pen-we have only touched the shadows of our heritage. The deeper imprint of the school We take with us. May this volume of the Blue Book ever bring vivid and colorful memories to mind, and sketch, if only dimly, for you, our friends and Alumni, a glimpse of the soul of our school. Bling illarrivi Quhh When Miss Budd passed away, Pingry lost a great sym- bol, a symbol of love and devotion to boys. Miss Budd was the personification of the Pingry motto Maxima Reverentia Pueris Debeturf, After thirty-ive years of teaching at Pingry, Miss Budd left as a teacher, but remained in our hearts as a beloved friend. Her influence will live on as long as there is one of her boys left in the World. DONALD H. HEROLD .....,. ,....,... E difor-in Chu HUGH G. SPILSBURY ..,..... ......... B 1lSilI6SS Nazmqer DEDICATION At relatively long intervals there appears among the ranks of educators a man whose relationship to boys-to all boys-reveals a deep under- standing of their complex make-up and psychological problems that allows him to lead, guide and mold the boy in a manner that is given to few. He teaches his boys to play the game to win but always looks ahead to that bigger game of life for which his training and conditioning is preparing them. Coach Reese Williams, it must be a source of great satisfaction to you to hear of your boys, many hundreds of them, who are conducting them- selves with such valor and honor among the dangers of war. You have had a part in instilling in them the characteristics and abilities that make the American the best soldier in the world. Now that it is our turn to join these heroes in the defense of Democ- racy, may we hope that none of us will let you down and that, through your precepts, We may carry on the banner of victory.

MR SPRI GER Mr. Springer has been with us as Headmaster since 1936. Since that time he has ably filled that ofHce and all its complex responsibilities. It would be impossible to enumerate all that he has clone for the school and its students. He has undertaken many new tasks this year. Aside from the Navigation Club he has taught a class in Ethics and Democracy to the Juniors and Seniors. As a coun- sellor for the Seniors who are about to go into college or the Armed Services, he has proven his ability, in clearing the tangled intricacies of red tape. His far-sightedness has made Pin fr f a leader in a rovram to re are the bo fs in the best ossible wa to 55 P o P Y face resent conditions.

The four missing are Roland King of Hillside, Bill McGinty from the distant Western plains, Nelson Newcomb from Roselle, and Joe Engelson of Plainfield. We are proud to say that of these, three are enrolled in the service of our country and one is already in college. Of the present members of our class, only four started in the first grade and remained with us until the present. These veterans are David Heilner, Edward Kammler, George Pollard, and Don Williams, all of whom are from Elizabeth. Could these boys hardly have suspected that today, twelve years later, our most honored faculty has possession of the very room in which they began school? The Second, Third, and Fourth Grades found us with no new mem- bers that are in this year's graduating class. However, the Fifth Grade presented us with that bundle of sunshine, that fair blossom of last year's cherry tree, Jim Anderegg, the boy from Colonia. In the Sixth Grade, we received the 42,' football team's handsome passer, Nelson Newcomb. Newk is now a college man and awaits a Naval call in July. May I add that during this year, we were the last class to be taught by Miss Budd? Although we cannot claim a full year under her, we are thankful that we had the privilege of being taught by her. The following year instead of going upstairs as previous classes had done, we remained downstairs in the brand new Middle School Room, and began our First Form under Mr. Vars. Despite the rumor that Mr. Vars' word was law and that his hand was iron, we started the Seventh Grade with two brave recruits: Handsome Harry Heitman from Short Hills Csometimes known as Lester,'j and our class' present and able president, Dexter Lenci from Summit. Our Eighth Grade found us with only one new member. This was John Bundschuh, who by his remarkable brain raised the class average five points. Heretofore our standing balanced precariously at around 60g now it suddenly leaped to 65. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Upon our arrival into the Upper School, we were greeted by five boys: Jack Benedict of Short Hills, Dick Roberts of Elizabeth, and Jack Williams from Union, our esteemed Gordonian, and, oh, yes, the lad from Newark, the man that everybody loves, Don Herold, who belongs in a class of his own. Also, in this year, Roland QChing Wang Eooj King of Hillside, a relative of the Generalissimo, it is rumored, who brought to us the latest Esquire styles and taught us the art of eating with two little sticks. Our Sophomore year added eight more to the class. These were Don Aspinall of Union, Bill Brooks, one of the Staten Island boys, Limey,' Cockshott, the Englishman from Summit, Captain Bill Dealaman from Plainfield, Al Kirstein of Rahway, the boy whose night life has us all puzzled, Premium,' McKeown from Maplewood, the boy who borrowed four cents for a paper because he didn't want to break a nickel, Russ Meyers, last year's baseball slugger, and this year's sailor, Arnold Whitaker from Westfield, the motor-scooter boy. Last year, the class was augmented by five new members: Jim Dunstan of Bayonne, one of this year,s Cum Laude brainstormsg Joe Engelson of Plainfield, who never could seem to remember that Mondays were not included in the regular week-end, Dick Randall from Staten Island, the night owl, Clipper', Shelmerdine, Summit,s socialiteg and Hugh Spilsbury, that three-woman man from Cranford. When we finally staggered into the Sixth Form, where the class roster was completed, we acquired five new members who were willing to sub- mit themselves to Mr. Buffum's tyrannous rule. These were Dick Baime of Newark, who declares he can concentrate and at the same time look at the products of Varga's pen, Hugh Stuhler, one of Westfield,s hon- ored citizensg Ronnie', Williams of South Orange, who between Mary and Myren, has his hands full, and last but not least, Bill McGinty, a fellow whom we will always remember as that guy from Oklahomaf' Thus, as we turn the last page of our history in Pingry and close the book, we have that feeling of parting with a long-time friend. But even though we may leave these halls, we will always remember the good times we have had, and most of all, our fellow classmates, for each of whom a more eventful if not less precious history has just begun. Page Nine JAMES ANDEREGG August 11, 1925 Dover Road, Colonia, N. J. Jeeves, Andy Navy Football 4g Manager Football 3: Blue Bunk Baard 4g Record Board 45 Dramatic Club 3, -44 Navigation Club 4. Jimmy is primarily an athlete and an artist. On the athletic field he is an able football player. During the past years his lithe figure has been seen on the Wrestling mats and in the boxing ring. As a shot-putter on the track team he has won renown. The Lift section dividers in this book were drawn by Jimmy. With his talents he should be a success. DONALD BERNARD ASPINALL December 27, 1924 333 Princeton Road, Union, N. Don, Aspy A.A.C. Glee Club 2, 33 Soccer 4. Although Don has been with us for three years. his natural reticence has kept him from the limelight. Perhaps he will be remembered best for his deep, ringing bass heard through the din in chapel-singing, or for the doubtful glory of continually being the object of Mr. D. Gfs Sapristi! Don is going into the army after graduation, and we wish him the best of luck in the service of his country. Page Ten 3 NJ gf, RICHARD PHILLIP BAIME February 15, 1926 54 Wilbur Avenue, Newark, N. Dick Pennsylvania Dick is one of the new boys this year. However, he has made quite a record for himself in this short time. Dick will try out for the Pingry tennis squad and, on the basis of past performance, we hope he will make the team. After gradua- tion, he plans to enter the University of Pennsylvania, where he will take a business course. We all hope Dick will have the best of luck. JOHN PURDY BENEDICT August 17, 1925 Highland Avenue, Short,Hills, N. J. Benny Princeton, Army Air Corps Football 3, 4, Basketball 4, Navigation 1, 4g Record Board 3, 45 Sports Editor 4, Senior Literary Club 43 Secretary- Treasurer 35 Class Council 4. p jack has been a very real part of the Senior Class of '43 for the past four years. In the field of leadership Jack has been very prominent. As well as being the holder of several offices, he has also taken a very important part on the athletic field. Everyone has recognized his ability as Pingry baoter of the leather on the gridiron, and ever-charging spirit on the basketball court. Aside from his school activities, Jack has a great interest in sailing his comet on Barnegat Bay, and making acquaintance with all the summer residents at Mantoloking. Everyone has at some time or another de- rived a laugh from Jack's humor. With all these attributes, Jack, we fully realize you have great things to expect from Princeton and life. Page Eleven WILLIAM HENRY BROOKS, III March 9, 1923 112 Circle Road, Dongan Hills, S. I., N. Y. Bill Army Glee Club 2, 3, 45 President Glee Club 4. Bill came to Pingry in the sophomore year and has been an active member of the Glee Club ever since. Noteworthy is the amiable disposition of this Staten Island boy. An honest and sincere personality will go a long way toward put- ting Bill on the road to success. Of Bill it may be said that to locate him one has only to listen for the loudest voice in school and the problem is solved. But despite this racket, Bill manages to dream a lot of the time. As far as future education is concerned, the Army has the say, but Bill hopes to go into ground aviation and make a career of it. The best of luck, Bill. JOHN JOSEPH BUNDSCHUH January 18, 1925 840 Monroe Avenue, Elizabeth, N. 121614 Army Air Corps Track 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain of Track 4, Soccer 2, 3, 4, Man- ager of Soccer 2, Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4, Scholastic Award 1, 2, 3, Whitlock Elementary Algebra Prize 1, President of Class 2, Vice-President of Class 3, Athletic Executive Board 2, 45 Ring Committee 3, Alumni Track Award 2, 3, German Club 3, 45 Cum Laude 4. Bundsch,' has been with us for many years. His career here has been successful not only in the arena of sports, but also in the pursuits of the intellect. As captain of the track team and as a prominent member of the soccer team, John will long be remembered. His marks have always been up to a very desirable level. With his dogged perseverance, intel- lectual acumen, and fleetness of foot he will make the grade in record time. Page Twelve WILLIAM PETER COCKSI-IOTT June 12, 1926 Yew Place, Farnham Royal, Buckinhamshire, England. Limey, W. P. Union Soccer 2, 3, 4g Dramatic Club 3, 4g Chess Club 2, 35 Rifle Club 2, 3, Senior Literary Club 4g President 45 French Club 35 President of French Club 3g Blue Book Board 4, Record Board 3, 4g Managing Editor 45 Secretary-Treasurer 45 Class Council 4. Pete came over from England three years ago, and has had his entire American education at Pingry. After a short period of time, Pete lost his English Way and very quickly accli- mated himself to the life of the Pingry boy. The only English characteristic Pete still possesses is the English lingo of Anglo-Gaelic tone. Along with his accent, Pete is also famous for those over-sized words which no one can de- cipher. He has become an integral part of our Class in the many fields of activity which he has entered. Pingry will miss Pete greatly for his Ene work on the Record, his smooth soccer playing, and his shining record in the class room. Pete's cheerful countenance will leave a gap in Pingry to be filled, but Union will be the recipient of a fine addition to their student body. WILLIAM GEORGE DEALAMAN, JR. September 28, 1924 16 Melrose Avenue, Plainfield, N. J. Willie, Boogie Navy Athletic Executive Board 4g Football 43 Basketball 3, Class Committee 4g Baseball 3, 4, Captain of Baseball 45 Vice- President of Class 4. Willie has only been with us for three years, but in that time he has become very close to Pingry. As captain of the baseball team, he has been largely responsible for their vic- tories this season. Bill does not only play baseball, but last fall he played end on the football team. Unfortunately, a leg injury made it impossible for him to play the whole sea- son. The basketball team has also been fortunate in having him present on the court. As vice-president of the Class, Bill has accomplished great things for us and We owe him a Word of thanks. We all know that Bill will be successful whether in college or in one of the armed forces. Page Thirteen JAMES CUMMINGS DUNSTAN November 3, 1925 117 West Thirty-sixth Street, Bayonne, N. J. Jim Princeton, Navy Soccer 4g Senior Literary Club 4, Chess Club 35 Cum Laude 4. If all American youths from Panama are like Jimmy, we are in favor of mass immigration. In his two years here, Jim has become a respected addition to the Class of ,43. Though he suffered an appendectomy at the beginning of the year, it does not seem to have affected his consistently high marks. An astute mathematician, he is a familiar sight poised over a slide rule. From this laconic exposition of his talents, do not get the impression that our boy Jim is a book- worm. Far from it, his sincere willingness to help people has won him many friends. With his cerebral capacity, and his honest friendliness, we soon expect to see him in Who's Who. JOSEPH EBBITT ENGELSON March 10, 1923 1115 Central Avenue, Plainfield, N. Joe, Pingle Navy Air Corps Football 3, 4, Basketball 3, 4, Captain 4, Baseball 33 Dance Committee 4, Student Council 4. Although Joe has been with us for only two years he has become a very notable figure. He has made his mark in the sport world with his ability in football, baseball, and basket- ball fof which he is captainj. Joe is a member of the Stu- dent Council and can always be found in the upper part of the class standings. His main characteristic is his ever- present smile, except for various times when the boys go too far -in their kidding. Joe, being of that certain age, will soon be in the service. Whether it be the Navy Air Corps or the Merchant Marine, we are sure Joe will acquit himself admirably. Page Fourteen get ' 1 l 3 1 DAVID POYTHRESS HEILNER August 11, 1925 630 Westminster Avenue, Elizabeth, N. Dave U.S.M.C.R. Football 3, 45 Swimming 2, 35 Captain of Swimming 4, Ath- letic Executive Board 45 Record Board 4g Navigation Club 1, 2, Class Committee 4, German Club 4. Dave is one of the few boys in the Class who has re- ceived his entire education at Pingry. He has been a main- stay on the football team, at guard, for the past two sea- sons. Although he is rather light, his motto was, They shall not pass,', and they didn't. During the Winter season he has been an outstanding member of the swimming team and as its captain, has led his teammates on to victory. Dave has also been an active member of the track team for two years. We feel sure that, whether in college or Working for Uncle Sam, Dave will have smooth sailing. HENRY RICHARD HEITMAN April 26, 1924 10 Oakland Road, Short Hills, N. J. Harry, Handsome One Army Air Corps Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 45 Basketball 3, 4, Athletic Execu- tive Board 4g Library Committee 4. Harry has been lauded for his meritorious leading of the soccer team that made history. He has been a member of the basketball squad for the past two years. He has also won notice through his driving a grayish mass of steel of inde- finable vintage. Notwithstanding these two creditable ac- complishments, his fame as a jitterbug has probably been more widely disseminated. Through the medium of school dances, his ability in the realm of dancing has become syn- onymous with his name. If one adds to the foregoing that he is endowed with an irrepressible sense of humor and an unbounded optimism, it is easy to see that we have a lad who, figuratively speaking, is up several rungs on the ladder of success. Page Fifteen DONALD H. HEROLD July 3, 1925 850 South Thirteenth Street, Newark, N. Don, Peg-leg U.S.M.C.R. Football 3, 4, Captain 4, Baseball 3, 4, Blue Book Board 3, 4g Editor-in-Chief 4, Record Board 3, 4, Associate Editor 4, Senior Advisory Board Student Council 45 Secretary 4, Dra- matic Club 3, 4, Athletic Executive Board 4, Rod and Gun Club 3, 4, President 4, Rifle Club 1, 2, Secretary-Treasurer 2, Dance Committee 3, 4. Don has participated in many activities during his eventful career here. He has culminated his stay by acquit- ting himself notably in all fields. He became captain of the football team, as well as taking a leading part on the diamond. The Seniors showed their regard for him by electing him to the Student Council. A long list of his accomplishments could be compiled, but his piece de resistance would be the Blue Book. As editor, he has surpassed all his other labors. Look at this volume and judge for yourself, With his astute qualities of leadership and genuine cam- araderie, we know that he will succeed in life and with the U. S. Marines. EDWARD AUGUST KAMMLER, JR. June 10, 1924 737 Westminster Avenue, Elizabeth, N. Eddie Coast Guard Football 1, 2,.3, 4, Captain Football 3, Track 1, 2, 35 Ger- man Club 4, Record Board 4, Athletic Executive Committee 3g Tennis Team 4, President of Class 3, President of Home- room 4. Ed is another member of our now famous class who has been in Pingry for life. He is one of the most happy-go- lucky lads that you will come in contact with for many a day. For the past three years, he has played varsity football and was elected captain in his Junior year. As a shifty back- field man he is tops on the field. He has also done some fast sprinting for the track team for the past two years. We are sure that Ed's future with the Army will be one of success. Page Sixteen FRANCIS ROLAND KING November 14, 1925 1545 Maple Avenue, Hillside, N. Rollo, Ying U.S.M.S. Swimming 2, 3g Track 35 Dance Committee 4. Rollo has held the class in stitches for as long as we can remember. His somewhat happy-go-lucky attitude has been a great asset to the Class of ,43. He made his name famous in the swimming pool and on the Track Team. Rol left school this year to join the Merchant Marine. From what we hear, he is doing a fine job for Uncle Sam. ALBERT F. KIRSTEIN, III February 5, 1924 325 Elm Avenue, Rahway, N. Al U.S.M.S. Camera Club 3. Al has been with us for six years and in this time he has impressed us with his genial ways. In the athletics line all than is known about Al is the conversation we hear about him, his two other Rahway friends, and their local teams. During the earlier part of the year he was always heard bantering with his pal, Roland King. These two were the source of amusement that brought most of the class out of their doldrums. Good luck in the Merchant Marine, Al. Page Seventeen THOMAS DEXTER LENCI August 28, 1925 244 Oak Ridge Avenue, Summit, N. J. Dex U.S.N.R., Dartmouth Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4g Glee Club 2, 35 Soccer Team 1, 2, 3,4g Dramatic Club 3, 45 Navigation Club 2, Record Board 3, 4g Student Council 4g Vice-President 2, Class Committee 4g President Class 43 Manager of Soccer Team 3, 4, Athletic Executive Committee 3, 4. As president of the Class, Dex has upheld all the honors attached to this position and has also found time to participate in soccer. In regard to his soccer career, he has been one of Mr. West's chief supporters for the past three years. As for his scholastic standing, Dex is always right up at the top of the list. He has shown himself invaluable to the Dramatic Club, as was proved by his performance in last year's production. We feel sure that Dartmouth will be indeed fortunate to receive such a scholar and athlete. WILLIAM BRYAN MCGINTY, JR. November 8, 1925 3908 Greenbrier Drive, Dallas, Texas Bill, Ginny U. S. Navy Football 45 Dramatic Club. Bill wasn't with us very long, but in the time that he was here, we all got to like him very much. I-Ie was a stal- wart tackle on the football team and with his big smile always kept the people around him feeling happy. Everybody was very sorry to see Bill go and we wish him all the luck in the world, wherever he is. Page Eighteen SAMUEL ANDERSON MCKEOWN November 25, 1925 8 Courter Avenue, Maplewood, N. J. Hambone, Sam Princeton Orchestra 23 Soccer 4g Senior Literary Club 45 Navigation Club 45 German Club 45 Vice-President of German Club 45 Record Board 3, 4g Associate Editor 4, Senior Advisory Board, Blue Book Board 45 Homeroom President 45 Library Committee 4. Ever since Sam entered Pingry, he has been a real pal to all of us. He seems to know more about world affairs and politics than the entire school put together. His wonderful sense of humor has enabled us to poke more fun at him than any other one fellow. He is a connoisseur of clothes, and is one of the best dressed members of our Class. As the boy with the best set of vocal cords in the school, he is very Well known to even the youngest. In his relations with the fairer sex however, he is much quieter-even rather bashful. Sam seems to be particularly partial to a certain girl, but we know no more than this. Sam is bound headlong for Princeton, and we are sure that he will be well-received there. NELSON FAULKES NEWCOMB January 6, 1925 241 Wfest Sixth Avenue, Roselle, N. Nels, Newk Washington and Lee Football 3, 4, Baseball 3, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 German Club 3, 43 President of Class 1g Homeroom President 4. Very seldom can we catch Nels without his usual smile. He left us during the middle of the year to enter Washington and Lee University. For the last three years, Nels has been a regular of both the varsity football and baseball teams. We wish Nels a lot of luck in college, and in the navy. Page Nineteen l GEORGE FITZ RANDOLPH POLLARD, JR. November 13, 1925 26 Kempshall Place, Elizabeth, N. J. Pop, George Navy Tennis Team 3, 4g Captain 45 Swimming Team 3, 45 Chess Club 25 Fencing Club 1, 2, Senior Literary Club 4g Dance Committee 4, Chess Club 35 Library Committee 45 Athletic Executive Board 4. Pop is one of the charter members of our Class. He will best be remembered by one of three things: his swim- ming ability in the back stroke division, his aptitude at play- ing tennis, of which squad he is captain, or his association, of long standing, with a beautiful blond. We all envy you, George. Here's hoping you have as much luck through- out your life as you seem to have had up to now. GIFFORD PRIESSMAN October 13, 1924 Western Drive, Short Hills, N. J. Giff Army Air Corps Soccer 3, 4, Dramatic Club 45 Senior Literary Club 4, Record Board 4. Giff has returned to us after a year during which he decided he preferred the solid masculine friendships of Pingry, to the ephemeral affection of Millburn High girls. Our glamor boy takes part in many extra-curricular activities. As a member of the Dramatic Club he has won justified thespian fame. For his consistent Record work he was elected to the editorial board. From his New York, dramatically inclined, escapades with Seniors, it is evident that his theatrical in- stincts will carry him far into the realms of milk and honey. XVe expect great things of you, GiH. Page Twenty RICHARD FULLER RANDALL February 22, 1925 377 Ocean Terrace, Dongan Hills, S. I., N, Y. Randy Army Air Corps Record Board 4g Rifle Club 3, 4. On any Monday morning when one hears Gosh, did I have fun this week-end, one need only turn around and see Dick hiking in over the Pingry Campus between 8:45 and 9:00. This boy is one of our most long-winded lads. Any of those present in Chapel this year will know the reference. He has been in the Rifle Club for two years. This year he found himself as one of the staff writers of the Record. Dick will definitely be a success in life. He will go a long way and we all wish him luck in whatever branch of the service he chooses. RICHARD GORRY ROBERTS October 9, 1924 1675 Chicago Boulevard, Detroit, Mich. Dick Undecided Senior Literary Club 4. After having spent a year in Canada, Dick joined us again this year. There are several members of our Class about whom we seem to know very little. They are not very communicative about themselves, their hobbies, or their personal opinions. Dick is a member of this clan. Yet, we do know that all year he has been studying very consci- entiously trying to make the grade for Virginia. He is head- ing eventually for a business course and we want to take this opportunity to wish him success in his chosen career. Page Twenty-one R ALLAN GORDON SHELMERDINE February 11, 1926 174 Summit Avenue, Summit, N. J. A1 Navy Glee Club 3. A We see very little of this lad as he is usually surrounded by his faithful town cronies. Alan is one of those boys who comes from over the hill as he lives in the mountains of Sum- mit. He has been out for the football team for the past two years, but hasn't quite had the weight or experience to make the first squad. The best of luck, Alan, in whatever your future may be. HUGH GYBBON SPILSBURY February 4, 1925 605 Linden Place, Cranford, N. J.

From out in the woolly wilds of Cranford comes Hugh Spilsbury. Hugh has made a prominent position in the ranks of our Class in the six years he has been with us. He has distinguished himself on the athletic field as captain of the track team in his junior year. In the spring of 1942 Captain Spils broke the mile record which had stood for forty-five years. He is also a member of our soccer team. Hugh has not only shown shown himself outstanding on the field of athletics, but also as one of Pingry's leading journalists. He is the editor-in-chief of the Record. Hugh is also business manager of The Blue Book. Outside of school, Spils has shown himself capable with the fair sex. All in all, Tam has proven himself an all-around Pingry man. We wish him all the luck in the world. Page Twenty-two HUGH B. STUHLER July 20, 1925 654 Glen Avenue, Westheld, N. High Orchestra 4g Navigation Club 4g Record Board 4. Though Hugh is one of the new members of the class he has made a remarkable record for himself in this short time. Hugh's witty puns will echo through the halls of Pingry for many years to come. He is also known for his unusual musical ability. Very often he can be found practicing away at a break-neck pace on his bass violin. Good luck, Hugh, in whatever your future may hold in store for you.

He has been one of Mr. West's chief supporters on the soccer team for the past three years. Arnold's work on the Record has been one of his best achievements. Good luck, Arnold, whether in one of the Services or in college. Page Twenty-th ree DAVID EARL WILLIAMS, JR. January 24, 1924 333 West End Road, South Orange, N. J.

Rarely is he to be seen without that happy-go-lucky air about him that makes such a hit with the fairer sex and with us fellows. A trick shoulder kept Dave from being one of our most out- standing football stars, but his fleetness of foot assures his suc- cess in track. The best of luck to you, Dave.

Those of you that have seen Don at the plate during baseball season will always remember him for his hard hitting. Don always has an air of happiness about him and will always give a helping hand to the needy. We donit have to wish you luck, Willy, because you can't miss a successful future.

Four years ago, Red entered the halls of Pingry and ever since then no one has been able to hear himself think. As the president of the Dramatic Club and a member of the famous Williams clan of the Senior Class, he has amused us with his little pranks. Red also was a member of the seven blocks of granite in the line of this year's football team. We feel sure that if he can only uphold his Pingry record at Princeton, he will do very well.

Gordon, Jr. Hans H. Angermueller Cary N. Carpender Edwin D. Miller Richard E. Turk 1942-1943 John Joseph Bundschuh James Cummings Dunstan CElected after Mid-Yearj The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 at the Jacob Tome Insti- ILIUC. Its purpose is to honor scholarship among secondary schools in much the same way as Phi Beta Kappa does among colleges and universities. In accordance with the constitution of the society, each chapter is permitted to elect to membership one-nfth of the highest ranking scholars of the senior class in the school which the chapter represents. It has become the custom of the Pingry chapter to elect two members at the end of the first semester of senior year. Others are elected just before graduation. In reviewing the history of this society, which now is made up of one hundred chapters, the President General said, 'tlt remains substantially the thing which its Founders meant it to be. Their wisdom was shown most conspicuously perhaps in the Society,s singleness of purpose. There have been established in American schools in recent years other honor organiza- tions which recognize student leadership upon Whatever physical, mental or moral excellence it rests. The Founders of our Society saw that the one sort of eminence that Was not adequately recognized in the schools was that of scholarship?

Page Thirty FIFTI-I FORM The Junior Class, being the largest in the history of Pingry, has contributed much to the scholastic, athletic and social realm of the school. This year our class con- tains forty-five members of which Hve are experiencing their first year. These boys are John Emery, James Laird, Paul Fletcher, and John Dooley. The latter joined us at the beginning of the second semester. Forty boys are taking college preparatory courses, and the remaining six take business courses. This year the plan of homerooms took effect and presidents were elected for each section. The homeroom presidents of this class are Norman Tomlinson, Charles Burk- man, and John Emery. Every Tuesday morning the homerooms met and discussed various subjects arising during the respective seasons. This year also commenced what is known as the Class Council, The job of this committee was to solve problems prior to their being sent to the Student Council. This council consists of the president, vice-president, treasurer, a student council member, and another member of the Class. The boy who was chosen to hold the remaining position was Everard Pinneo. The clubs of the school are represented well by our Juniors. In the Orchestra are Paul Fletcher, DeWitt Page, Robert Opie, William Brown, and Henry Kreh. Among the members of the Glee Club are Courtland Robinson, Richard Mirabelli, and Robert Opie. In the Senior Dramatic Club William Brown, Everard Pinneo, Jack Ward, Jerome King, Richard Killough, and Henry Kreh represent us. Among those who are learning the more advanced points of navigation are Peter Sperry and George Stickel. Then we have lone members in the Hobby and Rifle Clubs. They are Byrd Hopkins and Robert McKeever, respectively. In the athletic world so far this year the Juniors have been a vital cog in any sort of sport. If we take a look at the football campaign, we find no less than nineteen stalwarts on the squad. This is of course a fine group which hopes to have a suc- cessful season next fall. They are captained by Toni Nugey, a hard player and a fine leader. In the contingent of soccer immortals were six skilled veterans who helped the Blue and White to score its initial victory in the past decade. Looking at the basketball and swimming squads we see many Juniors, veterans and rookies, who are attempting to strengthen our forces. On the basketball squad are Ken Heitman, Robert Braeder, Lou Fuerer, Warren Hutchinson, plus many others. As far as the swimming goes ,we have a little fish, Dave Penny, who looks like a seasoned veteran. Beside Dave, the squad includes Jack Ward, Henry Kreh, and George Stickcl. Right now we cannot cell about the status of our classmates in the spring season. But we are sure that the baseball, track, and tennis teams will be well enlarged by them. We have experienced many new jobs during the ,42-'45 season. We have chosen class rings, and we will give a dance for the Seniors. These responsibilities as well as many others have been and will be handled in grand form.

One of them has left Pingry, but there are two still here-Mahlon Scott and Dick McManus. The following year there was one addition and one subtraction. Dick McManus left in the Second Grade, and Don O'Brien joined the ranks. In the Third Grade Jack Lehmann joined the Class. When our heroes began their three years under Mr. Vars, there were three recruits: Bill Syms, Hunter Finch, and Bob Nutt. The Third Form was a red-letter year for the Class of '45 since there were eleven new boys: Alvan Alley, Charlie Geran, Art I-Iilsinger, Ted Janeway, Bob Jones, Red McClain, Harvey Petty, Bob Smith, Dick Tracy, Kent Truslow, and Fred Walker. The new class members this year are: Ed Baime, Hugh Bell, Tom Cashmore, Francis Clark, Roy Compton, Walt Gans, Bud H-ildeburn, Larry Oxley, George Perselay, Al Pfeil, Fred Rapell, Walter Sampson, Max Schoenwalder, and Bob Schwab. These boys increase the enrollment to 37. The honorable Class of 345 has never been noted for any special extra-curricular activities except sports. Throughout its existence our Class has been outstanding in football and baseball. There are many members of our class 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 Fourth Form, to wish the Seniors the best of luck in their future enterprises, and add that we Sophomores hope we have a better world into which we may graduate.

Page Thirty-four THIRD FORM This year,s Third Form, or Freshman Class, had its origin back in 1934. The three charter members were Field Emerson, Alex Robinson, and our class genius, Dave Miller. In the Second Grade the Class was doubled with the arrival of Phil Robertson, Joe Gray, and Ned Dimock. In the Third Grade John Lummis was the new arrival. Our proud Class now contained seven men, and with the addition of Stewart Firth and Jim Waddell in the Fourth Grade, the enrollment was increased to nine. We slowed down a bit in the Fifth Grade, not obtaining any pupils. However, in the Sixth Grade Franklyn O'Rourke made his appearance on the roster. In the First Form, we really went into high gear, for six boys joined our happy throng: Henry Clark, Bob Christensen, Andy Devine, Doug Drum, and Tippy Kenyon. The following year we added two more boys to our growing list, Dan Barton and Dick Morris. This year saw more new arrivals than in any previous year. Rowland Blythe, Marshall Cassedy, Dick Dailey, Chip Lucas, Bill Masterson, Dick Radcliffe, and Harold Rutan are the new boys in the Third Form. Our class officers for this year are David F. Miller, President, John Lummis, Vice-President, Ned Dimock, Secretary-Treasurer, Bob Dan- ziger, Student Council, Bob Christensen, Class Council, and Doug Drum and Chip,' Lucas, Homeroom Presidents. Our Class is quite active, having members in the Band, Glee Club, Rifle Club, Navigation Club, and others. The Third Form is active in all sports, but our greatest achievements are on the baseball diamond. We had a fine team last year and we hope to repeat, or better our performance this year. The Third Form wishes the Seniors all the luck in the world. We realize it's going to take more than well-wishing to beat the Axis, but we know they are going to win on the battlefields, seas, and skies all over the world-our Seniors!

The Second Form had the most pupils, thirty-Hve. The First Form had thirty-three and the Sixth Grade had thirty-one. The Middle School teaching staff of this year consisted of three old members, Mr. Atwater, Mr. Knoke, and Mr. Vars, the head of the department. The new master this year was Mr. Hathaway, who teaches English and History. One of the most gratifying things about this year's Middle School was the addi- tion of twenty-five new boys. Most boys in the Middle School have no idea of how the Middle School started. It first came into being in 1920, when Mr. Vars suggested that he be allowed to take the first two forms and organize them into a separate department. Until 1937, the Middle School was upstairs where the library now is. However, in that year it moved downstairs, at which time the Sixth Grade was added, and it has remained there ever since. Of extra-curricular activities it has a large number. There is the Stamp Club, whose activities consist of auctions, special trips, and oral reviews of the stamps by the members. Also there is a Museum Club, which has a large collection of curios, minerals, and small arms. The Coin Club is a part of the Museum Club. The Scroll, which has a very large membership, is the paper of the Middle School. Officers are appointed according to the amount of work they do, and are not elected. Mr. Knoke is the adviser of all these clubs. This year's Middle School wants to thank the splendid staff of masters for every- thing they have done for us. XVe wish next year's Middle School all the luck in the world.

TONY WOODS thorough well-balanced curriculum augmented by wholesome, individual projects forms the basic type of education of the Pingry Lower School. Miss Josephine I.. Wright is head of the teaching staff. The boys displayed amazing enthusiasm in the War Bond and Stamp drive. As of January first, no less than 51,300 worth of Bonds and Stamps were purchased. At this rate the total will probably exceed 53,000 by the end of the season. Also, the boys came through 1001 on the Bond and Stamp city EU drive. Throughout the year, every boy participated in the program and each day purchases were made. An award was given each week to the class having top percentage for that particular week. Mrs. Clifford was in charge of the school's drive. Highlights of the school year were an operetta, 'lRobin Hood , a Christmas Pageant, and other such events held later on in the season. Robin Hood was based on various English folk songs. The boys prepared the costumes and properties, and put a great deal of enthusiasm in the production, which was held on November twenty-fourth. The Fifth Graders, supported by the Fourth Graders, participated. The operetta was a great success. Page Thirty eight Lrff to Rigbl: Miss Wright, Mrs. Clifford, Mrs. Ricker, Miss Prevost, Mrs. Clayton. The Yuletide musical program was presented before the Christmas holiday. Musical selections were rendered, poems were recited, Bible verses were read and carols were sung. After the program a Christmas party was held. One of the most important functions of the Lower School is the student govern- ment, the responsibilities of which produce much development in a boy's character. The Student Council is directed by the Fourth and Fifth Grades, and is supervised by Mrs. Ricker. William Mackey and Tony Woods were elected Lower School Presidents for the Hrst and second semesters respectively. Other officers were chosen and election cam- paigns were carried out with much avidity. Posters were displayed and general elec- tioneering took place. Included in the various extra-curricular activities is the Lower School News issued once a month. Although the Fifth Grade lads supervise the editing of the publica- tion, all the classes contribute material. Miss Prevost serves as faculty adviser to the staff. At Christmas time, the boys filled boxes for the Junior Red Cross and were en- rolled IOOW in that organization. Also, a Christmas tree and a large, metal express wagon were presented to the Elizabeth Day Nursery. The Music Department is headed by Miss Zeta Collins, a new member of the Lower School Faculty this year. Miss Collins also teaches at Vail-Deane, and is an excellent pianist. She is also a fine singer, having appeared in opera. Miss Collins' principal object is to promote the love of singing and she has noted the boys' excep- tional interest in music. Plans were effected last winter to form an orchestra in the spring. Art work is one of the fundamental phases of Lower School education, supervised by Mrs. Clayton. In the Lower School, the thorough, well-rounded course of study is balanced by many interesting and profitable extra-curricular activities. In addition to their en- thusiastic purchase of War Savings Bonds and Stamps, the boys collected scrap metal, and contributed in many other Ways to the war effort.

The Council is composed of three Seniors, two Juniors, one Sophomore, and one Freshman, elected annually. The members of the Student Council are chosen by popular vote at the beginning of each year. Mr. Springer usually meets with the Council to form a link between the faculty and the Council. For the past few years, the boys in this group have run a small candy stand, enabling the other boys in the school to obtain candy without leav- ing the school grounds. The principal function of the Council is to enforce the laws of the school, and to meet all the many problems which concern the student body. This year there have been very few violations of the school rules, and the Council has devoted much of its time to War Bond and Stamp drives, and the United War Fund campaign. The organization of the Student Council is very simple. The President of the student body automatically becomes Chairman. The members this year are as follows: Dexter Lenci, Chairman, Donald Herold, Secretary, :joseph Engelson, Vincent Kuhn, Peter Sperry, David Cudlipp, Robert Danziger. The first three boys represent the Senior Class, with Sperry and Kuhn representing the Juniors, and Cudlipp and Danziger, the Sophomores and Freshmen respectively. iileff school during ibn school year.

First, there is an elementary section for the younger boys who take up coastwise navigation. The second section is made up of older boys who study celestial navigation. Last year the Navigation Club had two meetings at Mr. Springer's house where we all had a grand time. This year we are not able to have any meetings outside of the school due to wartime restrictions on travel. In the Club meetings we have been instructed in such matters as rules of the road, aids to navigation, the compass, use of charts, and the use of t-ide and current tables. The meetings of the younger boys are held on Tuesdays and the advanced group meets on Thursdays. Though the Naviga- tion Club is for all types of boats, more boys are interested in sailing than in motor- boating. As yet this year there have been no highlights, but it is hoped that before the year ends we will have had some entertaining meetings. The Navigation Club was started by a group of boys in 1938 and has proved in- creasingly popular each year. At first the boys were interested in the yachting aspects of navigation, but with the coming of war the Club's activities took on a more sober aspect, and the Club has emphasized applications of navigation to wartime use. The Club now has the largest membership in its history, and probably this is due in part to the fact that many boys expect to use the information given in the Club in the war effort. The name of the book that is used by the elementary section is Piloting, Sea- manship, and Small Boat Handling. The book used by the advanced section is Q'Primer of Navigation by George W. Mixter. It has complete tables and work forms, special information for yachtsmen and other mariners. This textbook is used at the United States Naval Academy. This book starts at the beginning and teaches the methods used in the past up until today. We also use the Navigation Club charts and protractors. We are instructed somewhat in the use of the pelorous and the sextant. Everyone in the Navigation Club is very thankful to Mr, Springer for his kindly guidance and his great help in teaching us the facts about navigation. Page Forty-three Boffom Row, Left to Right: R.

Hugh Spilsbury, as Editor-in-Chief, did a great job of getting the Record out on time each fortnight. Hugh had a great deal of experience at running the paper as he was an Associate Editor last year. For a Managing Editor, Peter Cockshott served industri- ously. In this capacity he showed great ability. Some of the best work was done on the paper by Don Herold who was one of the Associate Editors. The other Associate Editors were: Samuel MeKeown, Gifford Priessman, Peter Sperry, Ed Beach, and Henry Kreh. This year, the Record had two faculty advisers instead of the usual one. Mr. France advised the editorial pageg while Mr. Diebolt was the business adviser. Mr. Diebolt had under him for Student Business Managers Jack Cuneo and Shayne Dillon. Both of these boys are Juniors and should hold these same positions next year. The special fiftieth anniversary edition marked fifty years of continuous publica- tion of the Recorzf. This sheet is the oldest country-day school publication, and one of the oldest school papers in the country. Page Forty-four Lfff fo Rigbl: Mr. Mayhew, H. Spilsbury, D. Herold, xl. XVilliams. BLUE BODK BOARD T he aim of the Blur' Book is to give to all a memory of the happy days they have spent in Pingry. It is mainly the Seniors, book, but it gives the underclassmen a chance to perceive their peers at closer range. The Board has striven to give you these things and it is our hope that we have succeeded in doing so. This year,s Board consists of Donald Herold, Editor-in-Chiefg Hugh Spilsbury, Business Manager, John Williams, Circulation Manager, and Mr. Theodore L. Mayhew, faculty adviser. The direct success of this edition lies upon the shoulders of these and indirectly upon those of others who in a smaller way contributed. Norman Tomlin- son, Richard Killough, Ev Pinneo, and Tex Lamason greatly aided the Editor in many ways. Wfe, of the Board, owe our adviser, Mr. Mayhew, a great deal for his understanding of our problems and for helping out in all phases of the work. The pen and ink dividers between the sections of the book were very ably handled by our class artist, james Anderegg. Also in line for commcndation is Arnold Pouch for his excellent job of snapping the Seniors in informal poses. Those boys who helped gather in the advertis- ing, which was so needed, were John Bundschuh, Donald Williaiiis, and Robert Schwab. The following boys helped out in the circulation department by following up their classmates: Richard Randall, Harry Heitman, David Heilner, Richard Killough, Tex Lamason, Hunter Finch, Wfilliam McCaffery, and Dawson Embree. The Record Board deserves a lot of thanks for their fine job of writing and proof reading of the copy. NWC would also like to thank the secretaries, Miss Crane and Mrs. King, for their aid.

THE PI GRY PL YERS his year the Dramatic Club had a great deal of trouble deciding whether or not to present their annual production. We felt that, because of the war, dramatics were entirely unessential, and that we should not expend the time, money, and effort that might be applied to more pertinent fields. But, after much thought, we believed that by turning over all of the proceeds of the production to the Red Cross we might, parti- ally at least, excuse such an undertaking. We had chosen three short plays which required no scenery and only the simplest of props, thus reducing costs to a minimum, and were all set to cast when the ban on pleasure driving was announced. This was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, for without an audience we had no excuse whatever for continuing. So we called the whole thing off. This, however, does not end the activity of the Dramatic Club. We have pre- sented, and intend to continue to present, plays of the type adapted for radio. We give the plays over the school amplihcation system which serves as a broadcasting station to the gym. This year we have already presented Edna St. Vincent Millay's Q'The Murder of Lidicef, a ballad adapted for radio. Girls of the Vail-Deane Dramatic Club showed their mettle in the playing of key p1l1'tS in the production, which was received enthusiastically by a combined Pingry and Vail-Deane audience. At any other time or for any other cause we might well have felt bitter because we were forced to give up something which we all had looked forward to with so much pleasant anticipation, but when we realized that our nation is engaged in fighting for its life, and that nothing we can do is too much, we feel not bitter but happy that we have been able to help even a little bit more.

SENIOR LITERARY CLUB ith the departure of last year's class, we were left lacking a Senior Literary Club. Mr. France sought two boys, Peter Cockshott and Dexter Lenci, and in conjunc- tion with them organized the assembly of literary savants. As the nucleus to the Club was formed several more were chosen by all concerned, till the group was augmented by ten. At the Hrst assembly, held at Mr. France's house, Peter Cockshott was elected President, and Jack Wfilliams, Secretary. It has been the custom this year to have a guest speaker. As the first meeting was devoted to war books, two of which dealt with the nautical aspect of the conflict, it was deemed appropriate to invite Mr. Springer. The meeting was unfortunately broken up by a blackout. In spite of the resulting turmoil, such as spilling food and stepping on a cat, a wonderful evening was had by all. At the second meeting the group heard Mr. Grim speak informatively of war dealing with aircraft. At the time of going to press no other meetings have been held. This Club is an enjoyable institution. To be sure there is arduous self-imposed work, but the information derived from such tasks, makes the labor light. The Club also presents an excellent opportunity for the social meetings of boys and masters, in a free convivial atmosphere. The Club does not seek to indoctrinate members about books, but to widen their horizons by showing them the value of hitherto unappreciated volumes.

ORCHESTR he Pingry musicians of nineteen hundred forty-two and -three have made quite a name for themselves under the able direction of Mr. August May, who also directs the Elizabeth Philharmonic Orchestra. The Band, or Orchestra, of this year, has become well-known for its timely inter- pretations of the popular military marches. The Pingry unit livened up its step con- siderably when it marched to the tempo of The Caissons Go Rolling Along and other favorites. It has become a custom at school to have an annual spring concert with both the Glee Club and Orchestra. This year, however, it will be impossible because of transportation difficulties. It is a rather sad thing because we have a very good group that could put on a distinguished concert to the honor of the school in the spring. A new experiment has been tried this year: a swing band was organized to provide many an engrossing hour for the scholars of Pingry. Bill Brown has taken over a smooth sax while Fred Rapell is blowing a sweet trumpet. Hugh Bell, the man of the ivories, is doing a jiving job on the counterbeat, with a bouncing rhythm coming from the skins being vibrated by the shivering sticks of Dexter Lenci and Bob Opie. All this congregation of bursting talent was organized into the music by Bud Kreh. In all seriousness, the Band has contributed a great deal to many chapel programs and is bringing new honor to Pingry. Page Forty-eight Lvfl io Rigbl: R. King, J. Engelson, D. Hcrold, D.

Although transportation facilities were overcrowded, the Dance Committee did put over two dances during the year. The first hop was the Football Dance at which time Gint Dexter gave out with hot and sweet music for all. It was at this dance that the 1942 football captain was named. As is now the custom, chances were sold at this dance with the prize a ticket to the Christmas Dance. Byrd Hopkins was the lucky lad that had his number come up. The next dance was scheduled for December twenty-first, which was to be the annual Christmas Dance, but due to the teen-age draft many things happened. The first and most important, was that mid-year examinations were given during, and be- fore, the Christmas vacation. This fact made it impossible to have the dance during examination week, so it was postponed to some future date. The next thing to happen was the no pleasure driving law which went into effect just after a second date had been set and the dance was again put off. The big night finally did come, after a great deal of planning on the part of the Dance Committee, on the night of January twenty-first. To everyone's surprise, the dance was one of the most successful ever held at Pingry in many a year. There is still another dance to come, the famed Junior-Senior, but it will be under the Junior Dance Committee. Page Forty-nine From' Roux, Left to Right: H. Clark, F. Steiermann, Mr. Dirnock, F.

RIFLE CLUB he 1943 Rifle Club has been on the inactive list this year because of the fact that due to the war it is almost 'impossible to procure ammunition. The only new members of the club are several boys coming up from the Middle School. The Captain of the Club was Frederick Steiermann who Was advanced from his position of Lieutenant of last year's team. Fred Walker was made the Lieutenant. Fred has been a member for the past three years. Mr. Dimock again took over the task of guiding the Club, a position which he has held for the past three years. The Club was able to procure the use of the rifle range in the basement of the Central Baptist Church through the efforts of Mr. Dimock. For several months some members of the Club participated in the shooting but the pressure of school work and the depleting of the boys' supply of ammunition soon caused a discontinuance of all activity. The immediate future of the Club is quite black but We are sure that through the efforts of Mr. Dimock, the Club will regain its former position when the War is over. The members of this year's group were the following: Fred Steiermann, Fred Walker, Hugh Spilsbury, Robert McKeever, Albert Bauer, Ned Dimock, Douglas Drum, Henry Clark, and Robert Danziger.

A special faculty commit- tee, consisting of Mr. Dimock, Chairman, Mr. Williams and Mr. Grim gave thought during the summer months to the part which Pingry boys and masters could play in the war effort. This committee has had the whole-hearted support of the faculty and boys, and many alumni have made valuable suggestions. Members of the faculty have been alert to the situation and have attended educational meetings and learned the views of Army and Navy officials. Military drill has become a regular feature at Pingry. The boys of the Upper School are divided into two companies, each with its own student commissioned and non- commissioned officers. In addition to the regular drill periods, the officers and non- commissioned oiiicers have had a weekly class, to train them in their duties. Pingry is very fortunate in having had the services of three ofhcers of the New Jersey State Guard who have appeared regularly in uniform to give us expert and oiiicial instruction. These oflicers are Captain Gustav Bohnenberger, lst Lieutenant Allan S. Higbie, and 2nd Lieutenant Edward Vollherbst. Mr. Williams has worked out a splendid program of physical fitness. He devised a special series of commando tests embracing every kind of physical activity. A regular commando course was constructed on the athletic field before school opened. A part of the time regularly given to team athletics has been devoted to the physical fitness program. Since Pingry has always believed in athletics for every boy, no major changes were necessary in the physical education program except the new emphasis on commando exercises. The curriculum of the school also has seen war-time changes. The faculty is of the opinion that there should be no drastic changes in our course of study-that the basic subjects, English, Mathematics, Sciences, History, and Languages are as important as ever, and form the best educational preparation for officer training in either the Army or the Navy. All of these basic courses, however, have seen some changes, and wherever possible the application of these subjects to war-time principles has been carried out. This is particularly to be noticed in Mathematics and Physics and the modern languages. A few new courses have been added because of the war. Aero- nautics is a full-time full-unit course, open to Fifth and Sixth Formers. Strategy and Tactics was offered as a second semester one-half unit course and in the English classes of the Fifth and Sixth Forms Mr. Springer taught the boys the meaning of democracy and the war aims of the United Nations. The Navigation Club, which used to have as its aim the development of interest in yachting, now has taken on war-time significance with many older boys acquiring a knowledge of this important subject, which they hope later to use in the armed forces. Last but not least, Pingry boys have aided in the war effort by the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. This activity, carried on in the Upper School through the homerooms, and in the Middle and Lower Schools through the various classes, has been a matter of the greatest importance. Pingry boys through their purchase of Stamps and Bonds helped to buy a bomber plane which was dedicated to Pingry's most dis- tinguished alumnus-Admiral William F. Halsey.

ATHLETIC EXECUTIVE CQMMITTEE t is the function of the Athletic Executive Committee to award varsity letters to those boys who have played on the varsity teams during the year. The Committee is consulted whenever there is some question concerning athletic policies. The Presi- dent of the study body is the Chairman and the teams that are represented with coach, captain and manager are football, soccer, basketball, swimming, baseball, tennis, and track. The permanent members are Mr. Williams, Director of Athletics, and football and baseball coachg Mr. Lesneski, Assistant Director of Athletics, and basketball and track coach, Mr. Dimock, tennis coachg and Mr. West, soccer coach. Page Fifty-four REESE WILLIAMS Pbjszcal Director Battle Creek Normal School of Physical Educationg Springfield College COACHES I he main idea of a country day school is not only to supervise our education but also to supervise our play. In Pingry we are very lucky to have men who take great interest in sports and who are willing to impart their knowledge of the sport to the boys. For the last twenty-two years, Pingry has been most fortunate in having Mr. Reese Williams as its Director of Athletics. Besides supervising all sport programs, and seeing that all the boys get into something, he is also the coach of the football and baseball team. The Assistant Director of Athletics job is held by Mr. Vincent Lesneski. He has been here for the past thirteen years and -in this time he has served as assistant football coach, coach of basketball, and coach of track. For the last six years Mr. Charles Atwater has served as coach of the third football and baseball teams. We have been fortunate in having several men on the faculty to help out on the athletic field. The soccer team has been coached for the past eight years by Mr. Francis West. Although this team has never been a highlight, the continual punch shown by the boys is due to Mr. West's efforts. The tennis team has been under the able guidance of Mr. George Dimock for nearly two decades. Under him, they have won several championships and have been a credit to the School. Last of the faculty members who help out is Mr. Diebolt. It has been his job to coach the Second baseball team. This year we have been lucky in having two alumni to help out in a shortage caused by the departure of Mr. Stokes and Mr. Peters into the armed services. Mr. Charles Corbett, '21, one of Mr. Williams' star athletes and captain of several teams, took over Mr. Stokes' job of helping Out with the Varsity and Second foot- ball team. It was in his last year here that Pingry beat Morristown and it wasn't until this year that we beat them again. The other alumnus helping out is Jack Blumberg, '38, He has very ably filled the shoes of Mr. Peters in coaching the swim- ming team. Jack -is a product of one of Mr. Peters' teams. The success of all the teams is due directly to the efforts of these men. Here in Pingry, they place the emphasis upon building up the boys into good sportsmen and in supplementing studies with helpful physical training. They are not as interested in winning as they are in seeing the boys benefit by the games. Page Fifty five VINCENT L LESNESKI General Science and Assistant Physzful Dzreczfor Arnold College B S P E Page Fifty-six CAPTAIN DONALD HEROLD The 1942 football season was quite a success this year even though the team crashed into the win column only three times in six contests. Both Mr. Williams and Mr. Les were well satisfied with the results, considering the teams the Pingry eleven had to play, and although the team won only three games they managed to break several records. The Pingry team defeated the Morristown School for the first time in twenty-one years. The team also ran up the highest score they've ever had in the last few years. The season started out with the team defeating a powerful Riverdale squad on the home field. Next, the team went up to Morristown and beat them for the first time in twenty-one years. Following the Morristown game came two very discouraging defeats. The first at the hands of a very powerful Newark Academy squad and the second in a bitterly fought contest with Carteret. In the next game, with Trinity, the team got into the winning column for the last time of the year. The team then traveled up to Montclair, co-champions with Newark Academy in the group two prep schools, and lost.

The team consisted for the most part of Seniors, with joe Engelson, Jack Williams, Bill McGinty, and Jim Anderegg playing the tackle positions. At end were Edwin Beach, Bob Braeder, Tex Lamason, and two outstanding players, John Emery and Bill Dealaman. The guards were Dave Heilner, Bud Kreh, Jack Clemence, George Stickel, and Paul Fletcher, all of whom played very well. Captain Don Herold played a stellar game at centre, backed by Bob Opie. The backfield consisted of three veterans of last year's team, Ed Kamrnler, Nelson Newcomb, and Jack Benedict, who were backed up by captain-elect for 1943, Anthony Nugey, Bill Brown, Ken Heitman, and Dave Williams. Kammler and Heitman ran the ends and did most of the broken field running while Jack Benedict and Brown did the bucking. Newcomb to Emery and Dealaman were the star passing combinations while Benedict did the punting. While this team was composed mainly of Seniors, there were also quite a number of Juniors on the team. Duc to this fact, Mr. NVilliams and Mr. Lesneski are looking forward to next year's games. Their hopes are held high by the number of lettermen returning.

There were only three Seniors out for swimming this year and two of these were forced into retirement by illness or accident. Only about three Seniors came Out in earnest this season, therefore the 1944 team will have many of this year's now experienced crew. These Seniors were: jack Williams, who wound up with a broken ankle sustained in a skiing accident, George Pollard, one of last year's squad, who, through the misfortunes of appendicitis was forced to stop swimming, and Captain David Heilner, whose swimming this year was not up to par. Due to a concussion from football, sinus, and other small illnesses, he lost a good deal of practice, which may or may not account for a lesser degree of efficiency. From the Junior class, the team has been blessed with the following swimmers: George Stickel, our mainstay in the back-stroke, since Pollard has been out. Stickel has done well this year and it is too bad the Navy has him before another swimming season rolls around. Jack Ward helped out in the relays and generally wherever he was needed. Henry Kreh has been our feature breast-strokeer and has held up his event admirably. Arnold Pouch was this year's surprise. He came out rather late in the season and quickly proved himself to be a most valuable asset to the team. Arnold swam the 40 yard and also the 100 yard freestyle events. Dave Penny was what you might call the bright star of the team. He swam the 220 yard freestyle along with Dave Heilner, and continually came out on top. Other swimmers this year included: Andy Devine, Alex Robinson, Stuart Firth, all of whom did a good job supporting the other boys. In our first meet, with Plainfield High, we were easy meat for the boys from Plain- Held. In our two contests with Westheld High, we were nosed out, each time by a close margin. The two South Side meets were victories for the Blue and White swimmers, with our boys showing the way all the time. Our first Newark Academy test was an easy one for the boys from Newark, but the second meet was only lost because of the absence of our three Seniors, Pollard, Williams, and Heilner. This year the team was under a new coach, Jack Blumberg. jack is an old Pingry boy, class of '38, and swam breast-stroke for the team when he was here. He did a fine job whipping what material he had into shape, but alas the old thought comes to mind, Too little, too latef' This was the fate of the 1943 Pingry Swimming team. The boys and the coach were in there all the time fighting with the ol' Pingry Spirit. As yet, next year's captain has not been determined, but I would like to take this opportunity to wish him and his team all the best luck in 1944. Page Fifty mme Page Sixty TEAM CAPTAIN JOSEPH ENGELSON This year's team was not as fortunate as some previous ones have been in respect to the number of games won. The squad's record of four games won out of fourteen games played, is not very impressive. Though Winning only four games, it was a team composed of several outstanding players. All through the season, the team was hampered by one or two of the players being out with injuries or illness at a time. When the squad mustered full strength, which happened only once or twice in the whole season, it looked like a very impressive aggregation. The team was captained by Joe Engelson. Joe was unable to play a complete season because of several factors. One cause was his attempt to enter Navy V-5. At another point in the season Joe was out with an abscessed ear. These handicaps did not stop Joe from being one of the top scorers and a mainstay on the defense. This year's high scoring honors went to a new-comer to Pingry as well as to the basketball squad. John Emery led the team in points with one hundred and forty- seven in thirteen games or an average of about eleven points per game. John will be back next year and should rise to even greater heights. The sparkplug of the team on both offense and defense was Vince Kuhn. Vince, a letterman back from last year, played the best defensive ball and set up most of the offensive plays. In any game one could see Vince get nine-tenths of the balls off the backboard that were gotten by the boys in Blue and White. As an offensive player Vince could always be counted on to sink one or two long set shots when they were most needed. BASKETBALL Frou! Row, Left to Right: H. Heitman, F. Lamason, Engelson, J.

Jack Benedict was another excellent defensive player and like Vince could be counted on for a set shot when the chips were down. jack was hampered in several games by broken glassesg this did not stop him from holding up his end on both offense and defense. Jack leaves Pingry this year and his spot will be a hard one to fill next year. The Heitman brothers, Harry and Kenny, played most of the season as each other's alternate, each lending great strength to the team. In one contest, the second Newark Academy game, the two shared the scoring honors. Harry will not be back next year, but Brother Ken will and we hope to see bigger and better things next year. Fielding Lamason, Robert Braeder, Paul Fletcher, Warren Hutchinson, and David McKenney all distinguished themselves throughout the season although they did not play as much as the other members of the squad. All of these fellows are Juniors and should be back next year. The team's biggest loss this year was the absence of Bill Dealaman. In football, Bill suffered an injury to his knee which kept him out most of the basketball season. When it appeared that Bill would be able to return to the court, he contracted a case of scarlet fever. Had Bill been able to play this year, a lot of the close games that were lost might have gone in favor of the boys in Blue. Page Sixty one CAPTAIN WILLIAM DEALAMAN Page Sixty-two Although this article is written before the baseball season is really under way, one can still obtain a fair picture of the baseball prospects for the coming season. This year the team will be coached as usual by Mr. Williams, who has coached Pingry baseball teams over a period of more than twenty years. The captain of the team for 1943 is Bill Dealaman. Bill will play pending recovery from a leg injury incurred during the football season. The manager of the team this year will be Norman Tomlinson. There will be, without doubt, a large turnout of prospective players this spring. Among the plavers returning after a highly successful season last year are Captain BASEBALL TEAM Bill Dealaman from last year, this year. Also, Of course lineup for the be in there on Don Herold, Don Williams, and Bud Kreh. Besides these regulars there will be a large group of new boys who have entered the school many players will move up from the junior teams. at tl'is early date. it is virtually impossible to give anything like a starting coming year. However, below are indicated boys who will probably the 1943 baseball team. Starting with the catcher's position, last yearis Sophomore star, Bud Kreh, has returned to the team this year. This year, as a Junior, even better things are expected from this talented boy. He will be ably backed by Jack Lehmann. There are several candidates for the pitcheris mound. Among them are Red McClain, Walter Gans, Tex Lamason, Ken Heitman, and Ev Pinneo. Ken is a utility man from last year's team. Frou! Row, Left to Right: Mr. Williams, K. Heitman. D. W'illiams, W.

In the infield will be Don Willianus, a veteran of the 1942 team: Captain Bill Dealaman, also of last yearas team: Edwin Beach, Byrd Hopkins, Tony Nugey, and others. The outfield positions be filled by Don Herold and Ken Heitman, when he is not engaged in his pitching activities. Other Juniors and Sophomores will fill the vacancies. None of these positions are filled now. The names of those listed above are mere approximations, the lineup for tlre 1943 team may be entirely different from that above. Tlere are several gocd players, no doubt, who will be discovered amongst the newcomers this year. The prospects for the ccming season are very encouraging. The members of the team will be good material that should develop rapidly under the watchful eye of Coach YVilliams. The boys who will return from last year's team will lend experience and steadiness to a team that will be composed of many Juniors. A11 indications point to the fact that the 1943 team will enjoy an excellent season. Page Sixty-three Frou! Row, Left to Right: D. Williams, H. Spilsbury, Bundschuh, E. Kammler, Anderegg.

TRACK TEAM nce again we have the familiar sight of boys in shorts tuning themselves up for the oncoming track season. At the time of printing there has not been formulated any definite team but we are sure that under the able guidance of Mr. Les a winning combination will be molded. The captain of this yearls aggregations is the flash, John Bundschuh. Backing John up from last yearls major lettermen will be ex-Captain Hugh Spilsbury, Eddie Kammler, Fred Steiermann, and from the minor lettermen, Pete Sperry. With this group as a nucleus, Mr. Les will round the team off with Jim Anderegg, Dave Heilner, David Williams, Bill Brooks, Courtland Robinson, Shayne Dillon, and Art Hilsinger. The dashes, 100 and 220, will be handled by Dillon, Hilsinger, and Kammler. Bundschuh will run both the 220 and the 440 and will be helped along in the latter by Anderegg and Heilner. The 880 and mile will be handled by Spilsbury along with Sperry and Robinson. In the field events we have Kammler and Anderegg for weights, Bundschuh and Hilsinger in the broad jump, Steiermann, Bundschuh, and Spilsbury for the high jump, and Robinson in the pole vault. John Bundschuh distinguished himself last year by being one of the few to win the Alumni Track Award for two consecutive years. This is awarded to the high scorer of the team. John has the chance this year to be the first to receive it for three years. His closest rival of the past two years has been Hugh Spilsbury, who lost out to John by three points. Hugh's claim to fame is the record he set in the mile, beating that of Mr. Herbert Manvel, '97, It is hoped that Hugh will be able to lower this even further and that he will continue his string of 12 straight wins in the mile and 880. With the gasoline situation, it is not sure which schools will be met. It is hoped that besides the meet with Newark Academy a full complement will be able to be obtained, through scheduling high schools in this area.

TENNIS TEAM he prospects of this year's tennis team are very good, to say the least. Last year,s team compiled a noteworthy record, and one major letterman and two minor lettermen are back from last year's squad. The major letterman is Lou Fuerer, and the two minor lettermen are George Pollard and Tex Lamason. Led by Captain Pollard, the squad will play three singles matches and two doubles matches a meet. This plan allows for the talents of a few new players, so everybody will have a chance. Mr. Dimock, the coach, will probably pick some stars from the group comprising Jack Benedict, Jerry Goerke, Dave MeKenney, John Emery, Bob McKeever, and Hugh Stuhler. Some matches have already been tentatively scheduled with Trinity, Admiral Farragut, Westield, Peddie, Blair, and Hun. As usual, the first three singles men will go down to the Princeton Interscholastics in May. XVith this great array of talent Pm sure the tennis team will have another banner season as it has had in years past.

It was on this day that the soccer team won its first victory of this and many another season. The team worked hard and long for that victory and really deserved it. Playing on a shortened schedule because of transportation, the team only had four games. Two with Chatham and two with Summit made up the team's entire schedule. The first game was with Chatham and the team lost 4-0. Then came a period of hard practice, for the team was determined to save Dexter the nickel he had placed on the outcome of the first game with Summit. Pingry lost that game 3-2 on a last minute goal and Dexter lost his nickel, but the coach was well pleased with the outcome. Undaunted by two setbacks, the team went to Chatham and nearly upset their apple- cart, losing by only one point. The team's final tussle was with Summit. The day was cold and windy, the spectators fewg the teams were warmly, if somewhat heavily, dressed, when the game started. Both teams fought hard and long, but the Pingryites seemed inspired and fought until the last minute. The score was 3-2 in favor of Pingry. This squad was not, as has been true in the past, a group of novices. On the starting lineup, there was only one player who had not at least one year's experience. There were many with two years behind them and a few with three. Even among the substitutes there were many that had experience. This meant that more time was spent on the game rather than the fundamentals. This past year the team had two outstanding players both of whom were largely responsible for the successful season. They were Vince Kuhn, goalie, and Dave McKenney, forward. Unless I am mistaken Vince now holds a record for the number of potential goals thwarted. McKenney, on the other hand, scored in two out of four games and singlehanded racked up the three goals that beat Summit. The best defense man on the team was John Bundschuh who managed to be wherever he was needed. All in all, Harry Heitman captained one of Pingry's finest soccer teams.
