DEDICATION At relatively long intervals there appears among the ranks of educators a man whose relationship to boys-to all boys-reveals a deep under- standing of their complex make-up and psychological problems that allows him to lead, guide and mold the boy in a manner that is given to few. He teaches his boys to play the game to win but always looks ahead to that bigger game of life for which his training and conditioning is preparing them. Coach Reese Williams, it must be a source of great satisfaction to you to hear of your boys, many hundreds of them, who are conducting them- selves with such valor and honor among the dangers of war. You have had a part in instilling in them the characteristics and abilities that make the American the best soldier in the world. Now that it is our turn to join these heroes in the defense of Democ- racy, may we hope that none of us will let you down and that, through your precepts, We may carry on the banner of victory.

Page Two PGREWORD Through the pages of this Blue Book We endeavor to embody in a tangible form a picture of Pingry-its spirit, its loyalty, its tradition and its prestige. But much escapes the pen-we have only touched the shadows of our heritage. The deeper imprint of the school We take with us. May this volume of the Blue Book ever bring vivid and colorful memories to mind, and sketch, if only dimly, for you, our friends and Alumni, a glimpse of the soul of our school. Bling illarrivi Quhh When Miss Budd passed away, Pingry lost a great sym- bol, a symbol of love and devotion to boys. Miss Budd was the personification of the Pingry motto Maxima Reverentia Pueris Debeturf, After thirty-ive years of teaching at Pingry, Miss Budd left as a teacher, but remained in our hearts as a beloved friend. Her influence will live on as long as there is one of her boys left in the World. DONALD H. HEROLD .....,. ,....,... E difor-in Chu HUGH G. SPILSBURY ..,..... ......... B 1lSilI6SS Nazmqer

MR SPRI GER Mr. Springer has been with us as Headmaster since 1936. Since that time he has ably filled that ofHce and all its complex responsibilities. It would be impossible to enumerate all that he has clone for the school and its students. He has undertaken many new tasks this year. Aside from the Navigation Club he has taught a class in Ethics and Democracy to the Juniors and Seniors. As a coun- sellor for the Seniors who are about to go into college or the Armed Services, he has proven his ability, in clearing the tangled intricacies of red tape.
