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

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.

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
