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

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

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. Spils, Tam Army Air Corps Track Team 1, 2, 3, 4g Captain 35 Soccer Team 2, 3, 4g Athletic Executive Committee 35 Record Board 2, 3, 43 Associate Editor 35 Senior Advisory Board 4, Editor-in-Chief 45 Business Manager 4, Blue Book Board 3, 4, Business Man- ager 4, Dramatic Club 3, 43 French Club 35 Rifle Club 3, 4. 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
