CUM LAUDE SOCIETY PTNGRY MEMBERS Members elected in course 1941-1942 Frederic S. Gordon, Jr. Hans H. Angermueller Cary N. Carpender Edwin D. Miller Richard E. Turk 1942-1943 John Joseph Bundschuh James Cummings Dunstan CElected after Mid-Yearj The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 at the Jacob Tome Insti- ILIUC. Its purpose is to honor scholarship among secondary schools in much the same way as Phi Beta Kappa does among colleges and universities. In accordance with the constitution of the society, each chapter is permitted to elect to membership one-nfth of the highest ranking scholars of the senior class in the school which the chapter represents. It has become the custom of the Pingry chapter to elect two members at the end of the first semester of senior year. Others are elected just before graduation. In reviewing the history of this society, which now is made up of one hundred chapters, the President General said, 'tlt remains substantially the thing which its Founders meant it to be. Their wisdom was shown most conspicuously perhaps in the Society,s singleness of purpose. There have been established in American schools in recent years other honor organiza- tions which recognize student leadership upon Whatever physical, mental or moral excellence it rests. The Founders of our Society saw that the one sort of eminence that Was not adequately recognized in the schools was that of scholarship? Page Twenty six

Four years ago, Red entered the halls of Pingry and ever since then no one has been able to hear himself think. As the president of the Dramatic Club and a member of the famous Williams clan of the Senior Class, he has amused us with his little pranks. Red also was a member of the seven blocks of granite in the line of this year's football team. We feel sure that if he can only uphold his Pingry record at Princeton, he will do very well.
