HUGH B. STUHLER July 20, 1925 654 Glen Avenue, Westheld, N. High Orchestra 4g Navigation Club 4g Record Board 4. Though Hugh is one of the new members of the class he has made a remarkable record for himself in this short time. Hugh's witty puns will echo through the halls of Pingry for many years to come. He is also known for his unusual musical ability. Very often he can be found practicing away at a break-neck pace on his bass violin. Good luck, Hugh, in whatever your future may hold in store for you. ARNOLD BEAVERS WHITAKER May 17, 1925 703 Highland Avenue, Westheld, N. Whit U.S.N.R., M.l.T.

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

DAVID EARL WILLIAMS, JR. January 24, 1924 333 West End Road, South Orange, N. J. Dave, Ronny Army Air Corps Football 4, I-Iomeroom President 4. Ever since Dave first set foot in these hallowed halls, he has been one of the best liked men of Pingry. Rarely is he to be seen without that happy-go-lucky air about him that makes such a hit with the fairer sex and with us fellows. A trick shoulder kept Dave from being one of our most out- standing football stars, but his fleetness of foot assures his suc- cess in track. The best of luck to you, Dave. DONALD MECRAY WILLIAMS December 25, 1924 174 Nottingham Way, I-Iillside, N. J. Don, D Army, Cornell Fencing Club 1, 23 Soccer 4, Chess Club 33 Manager of Swimming 3, Baseball 2, 3, 45 Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4. Don is one of the few members of the graduating class that started in the first grade. For the past four years he has been a very active member of the Student Council. Those of you that have seen Don at the plate during baseball season will always remember him for his hard hitting. Don always has an air of happiness about him and will always give a helping hand to the needy. We donit have to wish you luck, Willy, because you can't miss a successful future. Page Twenty-four
