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

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

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
