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.

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 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.

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
