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

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

' 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.
