One of the most outstanding of these, and one to which the staH has given a good deal of attention, is an attempt to make of the BLUE BOOK an account of the school life, not only of the Seniors but also of the underclassmen. Thus, we hope that the readers, regardless of class, may say: wfhis is our yearbook, produced by the staff for us, and with our assistancef' It is our sincere desire that in the future, other editors may be as mind- ful as we have been of the wishes of the whole school and not only of those of one small group. The BLUE BOOK Board has enjoyed the work which has accompanied the publication of the 1945 yearbook, and hopes that it will bring as much pleasure to its readers as it has to us in the making. The Editors wish to take this opportunity to express their best Wishes to their fellow classmates-for happiness, Well-being, and prosperity in com- ing years. ROBERT J. SMITH JR. DAVID W. CUDLIPP DEDIC TIO To a sincerely understanding friend: a master Whose kinship to the class of 1945 has provided us with many recollections of happy days Spent under his guidance as a teacher and athletic coach. lt is our profound expectation that we may go forward, most of us into service and later into college, meeting and surmounting our problems with the same fortitude and determination that he has instilled in us, and which he himself championed. Therefore it is with respect and appreciation that We dedicate this, our year- book, to Charles B. Atwater, Ensign, United States Naval Reserve. 5 HEADMA TER ,lust nine years ago, Mr. Springer became headmaster here at Pingry. Since then, he has done all in his power to make the Pingry tradition, Maxima Reverentia Pueris Debetur-the greatest reverence is owed to boys+mean just what it says. h Although faced with the inevitable additional problems that war has brought to the school, Mr. Springer has found time to act as adviser to the entire Senior Class, necessitating a uplay-by-playv record of the changes in the various programs offered by the Army and Navy. On top of all this, he has managed to squeeze in a course in ethics for the Seniors, and has super- vised both the Elementary and Advanced Navigation Clubs. The intimate feelings which lVlr. Springer has cultivated have been warmly appreciated by our alumni, this fact is expressed daily with the receipt of letters from them from every corner of the globe--letters in which they express the sentiment that there is, after all, no place like Pingry. And as the Class of l945 makes its way into a very uncertain world, many will be the times that we shall look back towards Mr. Springer's advice and counsel with sincere thanks and appreciation.

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-fifth 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 members at the end of the first semester of Senior year. Others are elected just before graduation.

SCHNABEL '39 Seniom Class Histor When the class of 1945 set out on the long road to graduation twelve years ago, in 1933, its ranks contained only two members destined to survive the trip and graduate from the class. They were Mahlon Scott and Dick McManus, each a three-letter man and class oflicer today. ln the second grade Don 0,Brien entered the school, and Dick McManus left to return the follow- ing year, along with .lack Lehman, another athlete. Soon the school began to realize the caliber of the class of '45, an.d upon entering the fifth grade we found a new Lower School Building ready and waiting. Be- cause of this shift in plans we became the last class of the Lower School to have the regular two-hour gym period. So it was that on a bleak morning in 1938 some very worried lads tip-toed into the awe-inspiring and much talked-of sanctum sanctorum of Mr. Vars. lt wasn,t long before we found all the rumo1's false and things were not so bad after all. Also there were on hand two newcomers to back us up, Willie Syms, the guy with the perpetual grin, who later left to re-enter in the Third Form, and Bob Nutt, jazz expert from Staten lsland. ln the next year we had two entries, happy-go-lucky Harry Hoyt, speedy outfielder on the diamond, and Dave Miller, bulky center of the varsity football team this year. The eighth grade found Dave Cudlipp, annual Student Council member and honor student, and Al Bauer, class clown. On coming into the Upper School our personnel was enhanced by the arrival of Al Alley, the good looking guy from the mountains of Jersey, who wisely kept his male friends by confining his social activities to that region, Ted Janeway, one of the most obliging fellows in the school, who was, at last report, an ambulance driver overseas, Bob Jones, golf enthusiast and tackle on the gridiron, Red,' McClain, captain of the football and baseball teams, member of the basketball team, class officer and so on, ad infinitum, Harvey Petty, who has been operating a taxi service to all the athletic contests and manages to find space for his friends from Vail-Deane each time, Bob Smith., perpetually on the honor roll and our BLUE BOOK editor, Dick Tracy, a quiet fellow who never fails to get things done, and Kent Traslozc, con- stantly the butt of the fellows' gags and always the guy to grin at them first. 12 To augment this group, the sophomore year added Ed Haime, sketch artist for the year book: Torn Cashmore, track captain and unchanged optimist, Francis Clark, another mental giant from up Hillside way, Ray Comp- ton, president of the Senior class and member of half the other organizations around school, Bud Hildeburn, Sum- mit man, with women galore, Larry Oxley, end on the football team and otherwise active around school, George Perselay, business manager of the school publications, cheer leader, football manager and tennis star, Art Prangley, member of the BLUE BOOK Board, Al Pfeil, player on the valiant soccer squad, Fred Rapell, photog- rapher for the school paper and year book, and Ned Sampson, a quiet and industrious worker. ln the ,lunior year our class acquired Alex Bibby, our Veronica Lake, and history student, Bob Boise, Plainfield boy, who is in the Dramatic Club, Elby Ericson, teller of tall tales and happy extrovert, fohn Foord, literary light in a pretty dark class, .lim Koopntan, another lit- erary student and dramatist in good standing, Bud Pat- ten, perpetual teller of exaggerated and wonderful stories involving the superlative exclusively, and, at mid-year, Dick McClelland, a very quiet and good-natured student. And so, this year, after we had almost reached our goal, we were joined by such notables as Harold Brasher, another red head in an already over-abundant group, Charlie D'Honau, one of the hardest workers ever seen and a member of the Dramatic Club, Gene Haring, a good-natured fellow who was immediately made Vice- President of the Literary Club, Len Hayes, always ready for a laugh, Leo Keefe, the boy who scored a touchdown against Newark, Dick Nelson, another basketball lumi- nary, and Ted Smith, honor student from Westfield. As the records show, the class of 1945 is not prepon- derantly intellectual, and besides the Smith boys, Charles D,Honau, and Francis Clark, not many have earned dis- tinction in studies. It is, however, in activities and par- ticularly on the athletic field that the boys have been outstanding. Five members of our class were on the baseball team in their sophomore year, and such mem- bers as Red', McClain, Scotty, Scott, ,lack Lehman, Dick McManus and Al Alley have helped uphold the honor of the school on the athletic field. The members of the class of 1945 will surely give good account of themselves in this war and life thereafter. The Social Side This has been an active year at Pingry with a lot of parties, dances, and Hgagsf, It all started the day 'cldossw Compton took officeg at that moment we knew that this would be no ordinary year. The first party of the year was given by 'llledw McClain after the football game with Newark. There was a big gang at this gathering and it set the example for later parties. It Was then that Al Bauer decided to come stag to later socials. The Football Dance drew a large crowd, and the music was fine, there was, however, some slight misunderstanding about the orchestra be- ing cold, and borrowing some sweaters so they were not asked to return. From there everyone proceeded to a dance at the Hartridge School. This resulted in several Juniors land our own Gene Haringl spending a good deal of time up in Plainfield! Harry Hoyt threw fliterallyl a couple of parties too, one of which was back in December. At this gala affair, the whole Hoyt mansion was taken over, Kent Truslow got his big gift at this party. He didnit think much of it though, and still gets his butts ready-made. ,lack Clemence, our ex-leatherneck, gave a big get-together on New Yearis eve. The Junior- Senior Prom was the next social event and had a large attendance. The hand took quite a few time-outs then and if it hadn't been for a trio of alleged singers, Ray Compton, Dick McManus, and Frank Hickey, our honorary senior-things might have dragged. From the dance, everyone raced up to a party at Al Pfeil's adobe. After the Basketball Dance everyone dashed up to Dick McClelland's party. Here everyone seemed happy-Len Hayes and Dick Nelson were content just to Watch Al Bauer--so you see how easily pleased are Pingry lads. George and uliedl' seemed to be setting themselves up for the future, but no later developments were avail- able at press time. A couple of other parties are reported to be on the way now, and all are certainly anxious to attend fbut no one is anxious to give themlj. At the beginning of Spring Vacation Dave Cudlipp presented a big get-together. Most of us spent the evening singing in the living room while the rest danced in the playroom upstairs. Later the fellows came racing, literally, for the food and left little for the girls who couldnft keep up. So, one can see generally how the social side of the Pingry picture looks. Some of the fellows who did not get along too well with the fair sex maintained a Snafu Club which strug- gled through the year. But most of the fellows were more fortunate and some like D. H. Miller didnlt let little details bother them but skipped merrily on. MYOUR UNCLE DON 13 iikikvik ikikvik ALVAN RAND ALLEY November 15, 1926 I0 Oak Noll Rd., Summit, N. J. Al Army Air Corps Four years at Pingry Baseball IV, Vg Dance Committee,V, VI, Home Room President IV, Vg Rifle Club III, Varsity Club V, VI, Foot- ball VI. Though he didn't enter our class until the Freshman year, Al has had a most successful career at Pingry. He has consistently maintained a high scholastic level, while socially and athletically he has also excelled. One of the four boys in the class to attain positions on the baseball team in their Sophomore years, Al has held down the Hhot cornerw for the last two seasons and would have done so again this year had he not graduated in February. On the football field, Alis speed and determination again accounted for a permanent varsity berth, this time at half-back. Al gets along splendidly with the fair sex, but fortunately for .the rest of us has restricted his activities during the past year. Always one of the more popular members of the class, A1 has had no trouble keeping himself surrounded with friends. There is no question that Al will succeed in whatever he attempts and the whole class wishes him the best of luck. EDWIN BAIME August 7, 1927 52 Wilbur Ave., Newark, N. I. 4'Ed Undecided Two years at Pingry International Relations Club Vlg Dramatic Club VI. Ed is one of the very few boys who have the unquestion- able honor of living in the wilds of Newark and hiking in from there every morning. He is usually seen drawing car- icatures of the masters or anyone else he takes a fancy to. At any of the dances that Ed attends unescorted, you will find him portraying a '6Wolf,' or giving jitterbug lessons. Seriously, however, Ed leans towards the happy-go-lucky side of life, and although much of his life is a puzzle, what we hear from him between Monday and Friday is enough to assure us that he doesn't hibernate over the weekends! The class wishes him success in his chosen profession. ALBERT GREGORY BAUER August 5, 1927 932 Pennsylvania Ave., Union, N. J. Al Undecided F ive years at Pingry Rifle Club III, IV, Chapel Activities Committee Vlg Inter- national Relations Club VI. During his five years at Pingry, Al has become one of the best liked members of the class. He will long be remembered by both faculty and students for his witty remarks and sense of humor, especially in the classrooms. All of us are looking forward to class day exercises, where he can demonstrate his imitating abilities to the whole school. His ever-ready sense of humor not only holds forth in school, but is prominent at parties, where he is always one of the bright spots of the evening. To see him at one of these parties or football games, one would never think of him as a professed woman-hater. Al has always kept up with the news, and his desire for more has led him to join the International Relations Club. One of his other achievements is the Rifle Club, where for two years he has distinguished himself as a crack UH shot. A1 is still undecided as to his plans after graduation from our happy halls, but whatever they may be, we all feel assured that his fine personality and wonderful sense of humor will carry him a long way in life. Best of luck, Al. ALEXANDER ALBERT BIBBY, IR. November 13, 1927 50 Sayre Street, Elizabeth, N. J. Alex,' Undecided One year at Pingry Although Alex came to Pingry only in February of last year, his easy-going ways soon garnered him friends. In his classes Alex had to keep working steadily, but kept up in his Form. During activities, he could most easily be found churning the waters of the swimming pool in his preparation for a meet. Around the school we didn't hear much from Alex, but we know with his modest ways and his assuredness that he will do well in the world. ski? ik irikik ikifirik ilrikik ROBERT WOODWARD BOISE December 9, 1927 1160 E. 7th St., Plainfield, N. .l. Bob Univ. of Rochester Two and one-half years at Pingry Dramatic Club V, VI, Glee Club VI. It was two and one-half years ago that Bob entered the halls of Pingry. Ever since that time, however, his good nature and friendly smile have been part of us all. Bob has fully earned the title of being one of the most obliging members of our class. We also must not neglect the fact that Bob is one of our intellectual students, especially in the field of higher mathematics. Another one of Bobis many accomplishments is acting. His performance in '4Our Townu last year was one of the memorable parts of the play! We all wish to extend to you, Bob, our best wishes for good luck at Rochester. We realize, however, that Pingry's loss with be Rochester's gain. .HAROLD HAMBLIN BRACHER, JR. I une 4, 1927 504 Colonial Ave., Westfield, N. J. Hal, Brach Cornell One year at Pingry Although Brach has been here for only a year he has become a respected member of our class. Hal was one of the major spark-plugs in the Advanced Algebra class, Mr. West and he would get into long discussions along the lines of higher mathematics far above us lower mortals. Brach wants to go to Cornell, but the services probably will interrupt his future education in college for a while. Hal hails from Westfield, and is one of the accelerated group of Seniors. He graduated with departmental honors in mathematics. Brach has some real ability and we expect to see him come out on top in anv and everything he does. DUDLEY THOMAS ROSS CASHMORE March 25, 1927 1255 Waverly Place, Elizabeth, J. Cash, Mac Navy Three years at Pingry Navigation Club V, VI, Secretary-Treasurer Vg Track V, VI, Captain VI, Orchestra IV, Record,' Board V, VI, Varsity Club VI, Basketball Manager VI. One of the most obliging and friendly members of the Class of '45 is our illustrious track captain, Tom Cash- more. Cash', is not to be found heading the honor roll list, nor is his record in the depths of our group, for he is a diligent and sincere worker. His dry humor and ready smile have won for him a host of friends. On the athletic field Tom has been a varsity trackster for the past two years and this season led his squad as captain. On the gridiron he saw a good deal of action in the 'Big Blue, line, and during the winter did a grand job managing the Pingry quintet. But 4'Cash,s'7 achievements do not end here, for he has'been an active and influential member of the Navigation Club for three years, and an ardent partici- pant in both the Dramatic and Record groups. Yes, Tomis past showing is one which we may all look upon with satisfaction, for he has shown sincere loyalty and spirit in all of his undertakings. Our best wishes go to Tom now that he is about to enter the United States Navy, and we are more than certain that the future will hold nothing but success for him. FRANCIS ORR CLARK September 16, 1927 124 W. King St., Hillside, N. J. uClarkie Yale, A.A.F. Three years at Pingry Orchestra IV, V, VI, Dramatic Club VI, Literary Club VI, Glee Club IV, V, VI, International Relations Club Vlg Chess Club VI, Cum Laude VI. Always honest and conscientious, '4Clarkie'7 is one of the most respected of the Class of 1945. He is one of our major brains, and Mr. Grim grapples daily with his ques- tions in Physics. As a member of the Literary Club, '4Clarkie', leads many an interesting discussion. This versa- tile fellow is also a main support in the Orchestra, and plays the clarinet and organ also in his spare time. We all wish him luck at Yale or in the Air Force, and are assured that anyone with a personality such as his can not lose.

'clackf' 4'Clem Dartmouth Five years at Pingry Football VI, Varsity Club VI, Track VI. j ,lack has just returned to school after serving eighteen months with the Marine Corps, seeing action both at Saipan and at the Bonin Islands. ,lack left Pingry in his Junior year and came back in the latter part of the fall and won his varsity letter in football, where he played tackle. His football lame did not end there because he was chosen for the all-state second team by the Newark Sunday Call. .lack is also planning to throw the shot-put for the track team this spring, and judging from the way he entertains the Monday morning blues club on any subject from the Marines to band leaders, he is sure to be a success at that, too. All kidding aside, we wish Jack the best of luck at Dartmouth. RAYMOND HAYDEN COMPTON July 12, 1927 1255 Clinton Place, Elizabeth, N. J. Ray, Mort, Boss Princeton Three years at Pingry President of Class V, VI, Vice-President of Class V, Rec- ordv Board IV, V, VI, Editor-in-Chief VI, Dance Committee VI, Dramatic Club V, VI, President VI, Literary Club VI, Glee Club IV, VI, Student Council VI, President VI, International Relations Club VI, Athletic Executive Com- mittee VI, Chairman VI. It was a bright day for Pingry when Ray Compton passed within her portals, for he is one of the most ambitious and most respected of her students. He has had his hand in practically every activity here at school, always working for the good of the institution. He has shown his capability as a leader by serving as class president for two of his past three years at school, and as president of the Student Council. Ray's literary activities are also great, for he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Pingrv Record,7' and a member of the famous Literary Club. He has been a social light, and has supported other leaders in school activity in every way. We have heard rumors that Ray is headed for Princeton, and with such a. record behind him, Compton cannot help setting his name down in as big type on the records of ttOld Nassauf' as he has here at Pingry. DAVID WISNER CUDLIPP June 1, 1928 Beechcroft Rd., Short Hills, N. I. Dave Princeton, Navy Five years at Pingry Student Council IV, V, V13 Secretary-Treasurer of Class III, Literary Club VI, BLUE BOOK Board VI, Managing Editor VI, Tennis Vlg Navigation Club IV, VI, Com- modore VI, Whitlock Elementary Algebra Prize III. Ever since Dave entered Pingrv he has been one of I945,s leading students. It seems that Dave is endowed with much more brains than become us lower mortals. Even after all the years we have known him, Daveis recitations in class still continue to amaze us. Besides being one of the leading students of our class, Dave is also one of the most respected boys in Pingry. The fact that he was elected to the Student Council for three consecutive years explains that. Another one of Dave's outstanding achievements this year has been his leadership in the Navigation Club, as Commodore. Lately, Dave has been scurrying up and down the halls threatening the fellows who fail to hand in their BLUE BOOK articles on time. Dave's kind and obliging manner has certainly made him one of our best liked fellows. Dave, we all want to wish you the best possible luck in your years to come at Princeton. CHARLES EDWARD D7HONAU November 15, 1928 30 Hampton Rd., Cranford, N. I. L'Charlien Princeton One year at Pingry Dramatic Club VI, International Relations Club VI. Charles is a versatile student whose performance belies his quiet manner, if ambition and ability are the keys to success, the door to Charlie's future is unlocked. We know him not only as a scholar, but as a fine fellow student with a sincere quality of helpfulnessg these virtues are substan- tiated by his high scholastic record. With such endowed potentialities, Charles will obtain inevitable and unlimited success. ikikvik ikikik iikikik ifkifrvik ELBERT ERICSSON June 19, 1927 313 Elmwood Terr., Linden, N. ,l. Elby,' Navy Two years at Pingry Dramatic Club VI. Elby, who hails from Linden, has been with the class in his Junior and Senior years. During his time at Pingry he was always active in athletics and made quite a good show- ing on the football squad this fall. He also did an excellent job in the Dramatic Club, showing his talent especially in our Christmas radio play. With his blond hair and blue eyes he made quite a hit with all the girls from Union, the girls which were seen with him at our dances were a source of pleasure to the stag line! Unfortunately Elby could not finish this year with us because the Navy had previous plans which necessitated his leaving after Mid-years, but we wish him the best of success in the future. JOHN ABBY FOORD April 6, 1927 1028 Sterling Rd., Union, N. J. .IOIIII Navy, Cornell Two and one-half years at Pingry Navigation Club V, VI, Literary Club VI, Dramatic Club VI. John, who has been with us for the past two and one-half years, was manager of the soccer team this year. For the past two years he has been an active member of the Navigation Club. Whenever you meet John in the halls he always has a hearty greeting. He plans to enter the Navy for the duration of the war, after which he will take up studies at Cornell. He is a great lover of outdoor sports, such as hunting, fishing, swimming, and sailing. Hereis to a successful future, John! EUGENE MILLER HARING May 16, 1927 37 Glen Oaks Ave., Summit, N. J. nGene, '4Hare', Princeton, Navy One year at Pingry Literary Club, Vice-President Vl. I-larei' joined our class during the accelerated summer term, and although he has been with us only a short time, has earned a great deal of respect from both faculty and the students. g6H3I'C,, was one of the first boys voted into the Literary Club and was promptly elected Vice-President at the first meeting. 'allareisi' talents lie not only in the intellectual field but also in athletics as a member of the soccer team. In mentioning 4'Hare', we could hardly neglect referring to his model-A Ford. lt can usually be seen fwhen it is runningj decorating the street in front of one of any number of houses in Summit. When f'Hare7' gradu- ates in February, Pingry will lose a good friend. Best of luck, '6Hare.H LEONARD LEE HAYES fuly 13, 1927 1008 Harding Rd., Elizabeth, N. J. 4'Red,w Len Navy, Duke One year at Pingry '4Red7' has moved into the Pingry halls after a successful stay at Jefferson. Almost as soon as he arrived, he founded himself deeply in the hearts of Pingryites. With his fine sense of humor and good nature he has become a popular member of the Senior Class.

Bud7' entered Pingry in his Sophomore year and stayed with our class ever since. He has since then made himself outstanding scholastically, as he now is on the honor list at times. This year uBud7' was elected to the Literary Club. In fact, he was one of the nucleus that started the club. Aside from the International Relations Club, he is a member of our esteemed BLUE BOOK staff. 4'Hilde is looking forward to making the tennis team this year and has great possibili- ties. He is planning to get a higher education at Princeton, and it is certain that his scholastic ability and determina- tion will aid him greatly in the future. Good luck, '4Bud I HENRY HAMILTON HOYT, IR. August 10, 1927 34I Wyfoming Ave., South Orange, N. I. Harry,7, aloe Princeton Six years at Pingry Literary Club V19 Varsity Club VI, Record Board V, VI, Associate Editor VI, Baseball V, VI, Class Council Vg Home Room President VI. Harry, in his long stay at school, has always brought with him wherever he went an incessant effervescence that never failed in making a cloudy day sunny. His wistful smile and his happy-go-lucky personality made him the friend of every- one in no time at all. Harry is not exactly the brightest person in the class, but he has always managed to survive the curriculum with above average marks. Even through breezy week-ends in his certain company, Harry has funda- mentally remained his same good-natured self. On the athletic Held Harry has displayed the same spirit he main- tained during school hours. This spirit gained for him a position on last year's baseball team, which he did his best to hold. In fact, in the game last year with Morristown, he made a catch that he still talks about. ,lust the same, Harry, as you leave Pingry for Princeton or the Navy don't forget the Class of 745 because it won't forget you. ROBERT AVERY .lONES, JR. April 8, 1927 Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield, N. J. Bob Air Corps Four years at Pingry. Rifle Club III, Football VI. Bob is one of the few Seniors to graduate this year who have been in Pingry for the four high school years. ln his first year he was a charter member of the Rifie Club, al- though he didnit find time to continue the club, he has shown great interest in this hobby since that time. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment took place on our gridiron this fall. He held down the position of tackle. Besides consistently displaying good line play, Bob further distinguished himself as place-kicker for kick-offs and conversions. ln the fall, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserve. The deferment of- fered by this service will enable him to finish his Senior year. As the Class of 1945 parts, we cannot but express the hope that the success he enjoys in the Air Corps will be as complete as our enjoyment of having known him. LEO JOHN KEEFE, JR. April 25, 1927 48 Park Place, Short Hills, N. J. '6Lee'7 Army One year at Pingry Leo is one of the new additions to this yearls Senior Class, and has made the long trek down from Short Hills every day to join the accelerated group. He is a very friendly but quiet fellow who was ever-ready to help someone in need, not as loquacious as others, his words are worthwhile and carry a good bit of thought. Lee, as he is often called, answered the call for football players at the beginning of the fall term, and although he didn't quite make the first eleven, he scored a touchdown against Newark Academy, our chief rival. Leo is an ace track man, and it is unfortunate that he was not around long enough to exhibit his ability on the cinder paths. His presence would have enhanced the general outlook for the season. Leo left us on February first with the rest of the accelerated section, and at the time planned to enter the Army. With him go the good wishes and encourage- ment of his classmates and fellow students. ikikik ikikik skirt? iririk JAMES BACKUS KOOPMAN August 2, 1928 944 Park Ave., Elizabeth, N. J.

Cenial Big Jimi, is one of the youngest boys of the class, and yet his outstanding achievement was to accelerate a full year, accomplishing this by attending two Pingry summer sessions. Unfortunately, Jim was unable to participate in most of the sports, however, he was a member of the swim- ming team. He gave a convincing and polished performance as Professor Willard in the I944 Dramatic Club production of uOur Townf' He has also proved himself an able re- porter for the Record.', Off the campus, Jim is a social charmer of the fair sex. Although he is undecided as to his future college education, We know that with his scho- lastic ability, amiable disposition, and other good qualities, his success is assured in whatever field of endeavor he selects. JOHN SANFORD LEHMAN April,3, 1927 255 Hillside Rd., Elizabeth, N. J. Jack Undecided Nine years at Pingry Dance Committee V, VI, Baseball IV, V, VI, Basketball V, Vlg Football VI, Varsity Club V, Vl. Jack has spent many a year breezing about the halls of Pingry, and has gained highest laurels in the field of sports. Here ,lack is a natural at almost everything from football to hockey. But it is on the basketball court that Jack really excels. His shots have been overwhelming ever since he first played with the Midgets. His ability in baseball is well proven by winning a major letter in his first attempt to gain a left-field position during his Sophomore year. Outside the athletic fields, Jack is without a peer as far as wise- cracks and jokes are concerned. His ready laugh and pleas- ant smile have made him the friend of all. So, as you leave Pingry for the Naval Air Force, remember the friends you made here at Pingry and keep close to them. JOHN CHARLES McCLAIN May 10, 1927 Ridge Lane, Colonia, N.

Probably one of the best liked fellows in the Senior Class and the most prominent on the athletic field is Johnny McClain. '6Red has been a real leader and asset to this year's graduating class. His athletic record is one of the most admirable accomplishments that Pingry has seen in many years. As captain of both football and baseball teams, he has proven to be a shrewd and intelligent leader with the support and respect of his team-mates. But his athletic achievements do not tell the whole story, for Red,' has always ranked high scholastically and has been more than merely interested in other extra-curricular activities. As News Editor of the HRecord and chairman of the Dance Committee he applied himself diligently. In his Sophomore year he served as president of his class and in both his Junior and Senior years was selected by his fellow-students to the coveted Student Council. Red,', like many of his classmates, will enter the armed forces upon graduation, but when the war is over, he will continue his education at Princeton University where we are certain he will compile another admirable record. RICHARD LEE MCCLELLAND May 18, 1927 49 Norwood Avenue, Summit, N. J. MMacH Navy, Princeton One and one-half years at Pingry Soccer VI, Navigation Club VI. Holding up the proud name of Summit, lVIac7' has made a name for himself at Pingry. Although he joined the class only recently, he has indeed proved that he is Worthy of his place among the Seniors. Among the numerous activities in which he has participated around the school, Mac will be remembered for his performance as outside right on the soccer squad, and for his many contributions to the Naviga- tion Club. Although he says very little about it, Dick gets around with the belles of Summit and vicinity. He is cur- rently centering his attentions on a particular resident of Millburn! Known for his fine skill behind the wheel, Dick has impressed everyone with his conservative driving. Mac hopes to get in a term at Princeton before offering his services to the Navy.

During his long stay here at Pingry, Dick has established for himself the reputation of being one of the most versatile, as well as best liked boys in the class. He has particularly shown his prowess in athletics to be outstanding, as he is one of the few three-letter men in the class, winning his letters in the three major sports. He also has held various class offices throughout his years here, and has always been in the top half of his class scholastically. Though 4'Mac', hasn't been in many clubs, he has spent much time and hard Work on the Record,', first as a staff writer and then winning a promotion to Associate Editor. As for his social life, all will agree that no party was complete without that McManus pep and humor to keep things going. With his easy-going but sincere manner, his unfeigned friendship to all and his ready humor, we are more than certain that Dick will go far and make many new friends at Princeton and later in the Air Corps.

When Dave entered our class in the First Form, he was destined to become one of its more outstanding members, and also to remain one of the most conservative. Big Davev well deserves this one of his many nicknames. He made excellent use of his extra size on the gridiron last fall Where he held down the center of the line, his accuracy and bulk led to his permanent position on the first team. Dave has been on the baseball squad for the last three years and is certainly a better-than-average athlete. Active around the school, he has been four years a member of the Navigation Club and three years a member of the school newspaper. Dave was Circulation Manager for the Record', and also the BLUE BOOK this year. Despite his reticence, D.H. has never been without a host of friends and in his quiet, sure way he is certain to succeed in whatever he attempts. RICHARD B.

Dick, as he is affectionately called by his friends, is an- other Jeff transfer, who heeded the call to Pingry. Always a good student, Dick has quickly adapted himself to the rigid scholastic standards here. He already has shown his athletic ability on the soccer field and also in his participa- tion in basketball and track. He has a deep love for horses and possibly knows more about them than any boy in the school. His easy-going, modest ways have already won him many new and lasting friends, and he is respected by the teachers as a constant plugger in his studies. His immediate Wish is to join the Cavalry Division of the Coast Guard after graduation, and then attend Colgate. No matter where he goes or what field of endeavor he chooses, he will always remain a real example of a true Pingry boy. GEORGE NOLTE February 21, 1926 950 Mountain Ave., Westheld, N. J. George Cornell One year at Pingry George is a newcomer to the ranks of our class. He has been recently discharged from the service and since then has spent many happy months at Pingry. Although he has really been with us for a very short time, we feel that we have known him and had him with us for years. In his course of study here at school, he has established many friendships both with the faculty and the student body alike. Mentioning George does bring to mind his con- vertible which is an enjoyable decoration in the front of the school. His car has also proved to be very valuable in transporting the school teams to their desired location for a game. George has chosen engineering as his future occupation, and plans to pursue his education at Cornell. We are confident that George will probably make an ex- cellent success of himself in his chosen field. ikifkviir skirt? vfririlr vikikik ROBERT HUBD NUTT Il February 11, 1928 483 Todt Hill Road, Dongan Hills, S.

Bob has been around Pingry's halls for a long while, and is one of the more popular men in the Class of 1945. In his school work Bob has been in the top part of the class consistently and was also a member this year of the Literary Club. But let no one get the idea that he is a bookwormg on the contrary, heis one of our class clowns and his re- marks have helped make those days at school seem a little shorter. He has been a member of the soccer team for the last two years and was also on the track squad. However, 6'Bobois pride and joy is his Widely-read column in the i'Record,7' Swingin' on Nothin7 or 'cNothin' on Swingini W which would be more apropos.

Don is one of those grand old members of this year's graduating class, who started out way back in the second grade. He is a true Pingry son, one who exemplihes loyalty and honesty. Besides his genuine quality of character, he manages to brighten each day with his unfailing sense of humor, well-known and approved by his many friends. In the scholastic field, Don has excelled in all of his many difficult undertakings and his extra-curricular and athletic activities have more than rounded out a complete and whole- some education here at Pingry. In his Freshman year, Don served on the Student Council and this year was a member of the Senior class council. As secretary of both the Literary and Dramatic Clubs, he has applied himself faithfully and successfully, but perhaps his finest achievement was the grand job he performed on the uRecord'7 staff as managing- editor and author of Your Uncle Don. The Navy and Dartmouth College will find all the qualities of an excellent citizen when considering this original, trustworthy, and sincere personality.

He also was a member of last yearis track squad, and much is expected of him this year in the distance runs. Larryis other extra- curricular activities were centered about being an active member in this year's Dramatic Club. His quiet but striking personality and sleek sense of humor have won many friends at Pingry, both among his fellow students and members of the faculty. Though Larry's future is undecided and will undoubtedly be interrupted by military service, we are sure that his pleasing smile and spontaneous humor will help him achieve his successful mark in the world.

His line sense of humor and spontaneous wit have indeed been contributors to the sparkle in our class. 6'Bud is endowed with a gift that few of us possess: how to make a good story out of nothing. He is also known for his affiliations with the opposite sex, and is thought by some to be a connoisseur on the subject. Handy with a pencil and paper, 'cBud gets good marks and his name has appeared on the honor roll. He is also remembered for a swell job at tackle on this yearis football team. '6Bud', plans to complete a year or two at Cornell before signing up with the Navy. We sincerely unite in wishing him the best of luck.

As an organizer and member of the Literary Club, Art has been an enlightening factor at its meetings, es- pecially on various and sundry occasions, when he spent two hours discussing abstract and incomprehensible subjects -briefly, of course. He has been a member of the Rod and Gun and Navigation Clubs, at the meetings of which he has contributed much to the success of the clubs. ln his Senior year, Art undertook to assist the BLUE BOOK staff in putting out this yearns publication.

Out of class and away from his camera and bugle Frederick arms himself with his everyready smile and wit, content to double up in laughter at the earliest moment. His ready laugh and conscientious work have gained Fred many permanent friends among his ,45 class- mates at Pingry. He will be perhaps best remembered for his performance as a German gob in the annual dramatic club production, The Army, Play by Play. Still, wherever Fred wanders after leaving Pingry, the thoughts of many of his classmates will follow him. So to Fred go the best wishes of the Class of 745 in future undertakings.

Scotty is one of the most popular boys in the class of 1945, and has held oliice every one of the twelve years he has attended Pingry. He has always been one of the out- standing athletes of our class. His sparkling gridiron play was all the more spectacular because of his size. Weighing little over one hundred and twenty pounds, Mahl constantly amazed the spectators with his long, offensive runs and fighting, defensive play. Unfortunately, he sustained an injury in mid-season. Had he been able to play all season the team's record would probably have been improved. On the basketball court, Scottyis splendid co-ordination and all-round play made him the only logical choice for this vearis captain. On the diamond, Mahlon has held down the keystone sack for the last three years. One could write a book about Scotty but it is simpler to let his record speak for itself.

He was the captain of this year's gallant soccer team which made a good show- ing despite critical weaknesses. On the staff of the uRecord,,' Rich worked so industriously and turned out such excellent material that he was a logical choice for an Associate Editor. It is this industry combined with his intelligence that assures Dick of the success which we all hope he will achieve. ikvikwfk it ikuvir KENT NlacCUTCHEOlY TRUSLOYV February 6, 1927 34 Hillcrest Avenue, Summit, N.

They are Field Emerson and the boy who raises our class average at least ten periods, Dave Miller. Return- ing for their second year, the veterans were confronted with three new recruits, Joe Cray, Ned Dimock, and Phil Robert- son, our jazz record critic and collector. ln the third grade John Lummis, that boy from the wilds of Roselle, was added to the roster. After leaving our familiar and friendly Lower School, we were rather apprehensive of Mr. Varsi inner sanctum, better known as the Middle School. Our feats were soon put to rest, though, with the advent of Franklyn O'Rourke in the sixth grade, and with Henry Clark, Bob Danziger, Bob Christensen, and Edward Kenyon to help us along in the First Form. Just before leaving the comfortable ground- HO01' rooms we had occupied for three years, the general handy-man extraordinary, Dick Morris, decided to join up with us. Wie finally reached one of our most important mileposts in 194-2 when we became llpper Schoolers. Also wishing to partake of our pleasure, were Rowland Blythe, Bill lNlcCaffery, and Dick Dailey from the far-distant hills of Summit. At the end of the first semester omnipresent Marshall Cassedy changed over to Pingry from Millburn High. Our Sophomore year was the year of years as far as increasing the enrollment. All of ten fellows came into our midst: Walter Cole, Bob Croucher, Bob Cashmere, Charley Blanchard, Bob Rohn, Al Register, who is our cheer leader. Joe North, Charley Hayes, Walter Miller, and next yearls football captain, John Willis. This year we again had a comparatively large number, seven to be exact. They are: Al Elsesser, Ralph Jones, Edward Livingood, Tom Roughton. and .Ed Love. Jack Laird and Jim Peden arrived after the first month. This year we have as honorable class officers: Al Register, President, John Lummis, Vice-President, Ned Dimock. Secretary-Treasurer, Joe Cray and Joe North, Student Council Membersg and Marshall Cassedy serving as Class Committee-man, to name the more important positions. ln the extra-curricular field we have representatives in the Navigation Club, Clee Club, Band, Rifle Club, and prac- tically every other organization one would care to name. Our class has many athletes, To mention a few, we hare: Charley Hayes, John Willis, ,loe North, John Lummis, and Ned Dimook. We, the class of 1946, wish this year's Senior Class all possible luck and Godspeed in their divers pursuits and ambitions, whether they are fortunate enough to be headed for college or if they are soon going to don a military uniform in defense of our country. May you soon return safe and sound. Cla Amen F 0 RTH FORM FRONT Row: left to right, S. Lum, W. Kratt, F. Hickey, R. Madden, R. Westerfield, W. Seaman, D. Koth. C. Hoyt, R. Engisch, J. Whittemore, J.

In the Third Grade they were joined by Woody Phares, Daxid Koth, Wade Townley, and Frank Hickey. Vic Siegel, Drury Cooper, and Bruce Lewis entered in the Fourth Grade, and Frank Boas, Richard Madden, and Richard Cassidy added themselves to our steadily growing class in the Fifth Grade. Dawson Embree and Elliot Clemence joined us in the Sixth Grade, our First year in the Middle School under the skillful guidance of Mr. Vars. Six boys started in the First Form: David Baldwin. John Winter. Bruce Bensley, Colin Dillon, John McKernan, and Buddy Hoyt. They were fol- lowed hy Jack iWalker, Bob Westerfield, Bill Hanaway, Clark Lum. and Jim Nlasterson in the Second Form. Our first year in the Upper School, the Third Form proved to he a red-letter year as we were joined hy twenty- two boys: Brooks Banker, Herwart Vogt, John Speer, Fred Schmidt, Ed Wallace, Bill Kratt, George Kopperl, Dick Herold, Bill Seamen, Bill Magruder, George Wendell, Ed Roll, Bill Worthington, Carlton Gehring, Sefton Stallard, Jack Fishel, Lyn llaigh, Joseph Scrudato, John Crecca, Gallie Crump, LeRoy Carey, and Dick Cruess. This year the additions were: John Harheck, Jim Far- rell, Boh Engisch, John Edmonson, John Alexander, and Jack Binns. The Fourth Form has representatives in many clubs, but is particularly notable because of its many fine athletes. The Sophomores sincerely wish the Seniors all the guidance they will need in this topsy-turvy world, and hope we will not have to graduate into the prospect of going off to War. 39 Zin de THIRD FORM FRONT Row, Left to Right: T.

The Third Form of 1944-45 is the largest Freshman Class in many a year at Pingry. Its charter members, still in the class, are Harry Burks, John Emerson, Walter Lermer, Jerry Uhl, Stewart West, and Harry Wheeler. The first additions to the original group were William Hillbrant, Byron Morton, and Harry Oleynick, who entered in the Second Grade. The Third Grade was augmented by the arrival of Harold Switzgahle, John Unkles, and Stanley Wegryn. At the start of the Fifth Grade, Denison Diebolt, John Howell, John Thomas, and John Vilelt joined our class. When we left the Lower School, we had sixteen boys in all-upon our entrance into the Middle School, we ac- quired four new boys. They were the two Alley brothers, Ted and Bill, Bobby Kirkland, and Jerry McGinley. As we entered the First Form, we were joined by Axel Baum, Julian Carter, John Cooper, Mel Hicks, David Hunter, Marshall Lowe, Dominick Mirabelli, John Patten, Charles Paules, Harry Van Ameringen, and Edgar Weigel. ln the Eighth Grade, our class was increased greatly in numbers 40 by the addition of James Bradley, Bob, Chamberlin, George Coughlin, Fred Gaus, Thomas Lee, Franklin Nelson, Horace Roberson, Bob Schutz, Wilson Stearly, James Toffey, and Roger Worden. As we entered the Upper School, sixteen new boys joined our happy throng: August Arace, Atwood Asbury, Henry Blank, Donald Carroll, John Churchill. John Clarke, Marshall Foster, Dick Gallagher, Bruce Gerhard, Bob Horton, Donald Jomo, Dick Ley, Kimball Marsh, Evan Robinson, Fred Walters, and Arthur Welsh. These addi- tions raised the total to fifty-nine boys. The Third Form was quite active in all sports and espe- cially in football. Our class was also well represented in the Glee Club, Orchestra, Rifle Club, and in other extra- curricular activities. The Third Form wishes the Seniors the greatest measure of success in their future years. We hope that the efforts of the Seniors, former graduates, and other men of the allied nations will make impossible a repetition of this war. Cla Amen FIRST ROW, Left to Right: R. Koth, F.

MIDDLE CHOOL This year the enrollment in the Middle School was increased from ninety to ninetystwo, approximately the same number as the preceding year. The head of this department is Mr. Vars, under whose competent direction the Middle School has Hourished and increased in size and importance. lt was he, who in 1920 suggested forming a separate sec- tion in the school in order to give special preparation and guidance to those boys who were soon to enter the Upper School. Originally the Middle School consisted of the first two forms, but in 1937 it was expanded to include the Sixth Crade. This grade had been in the central hall, but in 1943 was moved to the Harriet Budd Room where the younger fellows receive expert direction under Mrs. Helen B. Wasasier. In the past two years several changes have been made in the Middle School faculty. Last year saw the arrival of Mrs. Wasasier and Mr. Baldwin. This year Pingry suffered a loss when Mr. Charles Atwater went on active duty with the Navy this place being capably taken by Mr. Louis P. DealeyJ, but gained by the advent of the new history teacher, Mr. Herbert H. Hahn. Latin is now being taught only in the Second Form, and in its place Exploratory Language, dealing with the roots and rudiments of various languages, is taught by Hr. Dimock of the Upper School faculty. French has been replaced in the Second Form by a course in American History. 1n sports, curricular and extra-curricular activities under the supervision of the Pingry faculty, the Middle School boys are given a well-balanced program which aids in preparing them for their work in the Upper School and later in college and business. 41 LO ER CHOGL FIRST ROW, Left to Right: Stephen Urner, Gerald O'Connor, Fred l-lemminger, Tony cleMasse, Richard Welch, Richard Cawthorne, David Ries, Robert Wegryn, Louis Wiener, Jeff Danziger, Larry Jasper, Chip Long, Floyd Parks, Bob Burks.

The program of the Lower School offers a combination of freedom in some activities and strict supervision in others. Boys elect ofhcers of the council and handle most of the routine government. Participation in the council, morning assembly, and work on the newspaper provide the basis for character development. Various com- mittees of the council present opportunity for constructive thinking and planning. The newspaper requires written composition from the Second Grade through the Fifth. Art and music classes encourage creative expression. Physical education pro- vides lor social development as well as for physical growth. The school assemblies are presided over daily by the boys who grow in poise and self-conhdence by assuming this responsibility. Special activities this year have included a, Christmas program. trimming the tree, singing carols: buying war bonds and stamps regularly during the bond drivesg filling boxes for the Junior Red Cross, and remembering less fortunate children with Christmas gifts of money. 42 The Middle School has long been known for its varied and interesting extra-curricular activi- ties. The Hscrollf' which is the paper published by the students, not only is a source of much en- joyment, but also serves to give the bov experience in journalism. The Stamp Club and Coin Club have always had excellent memberships, and as a special feature of both these clubs, annual exhibits are held at intervals in the Library. ln sports as well as the other events the Middle School boys are guided and helped by understanding teachers and coaches. The students are shown how to do things for themselves by experience while learning the advantages of co-operation in hard, clean, en- thusiastic work and athletics. In the Lower School classrooms quiet, orderly work habits are required and a dehnite attempt is made to teach children to work independently and to establish a foundation in the fundamentals ol reading, writing. spelling. arithmetic. written and oral composition. Youth Looks Ahead ln such troubled times as these war years with many disheartening problems both domestic and foreign facing us, the ordinary youth is exhorted somewhat fruitlessly by his teachers, parents, and governmental leaders to look forward to what the future may bring. The far- sighted and more mature youth, those who are now show- ing an ever-increasing interest in world and national affairs, look forward not only to their own future, but also to the future of their generation and their childrenis generation-a generation that must face and attempt to correct all the mistakes and errors that our country has witnessed during the past four decades. In considering the aforementioned problems of far-reaching conse- quence and in order to present a clear picture, it is necessary to make a distinction between the first and second youths. In dealing with the first youth, who, through lack of education, interest, or ability, has not made strides to look beyond his own small world into the future of all generations, we must recognize an 'important factfthat it may not be his fault, but, in part, the fault of his family who have not seen to it that through cultural advantages he has had the resources and opportunities necessary for study. Let us start with the presupposition, however, that it has not been lack of finance, or poor environment which has retarded mental outlook, but purely immature lack of interest, opinions, and perse- verance. This young man is looking forward only to his immediate future, possibly with an eye half-opened for what is to come after college years. All healthy young men will be called upon to serve in the armed forces during the next few years. To some this change may well prove to be a beneficial one-to others, a more difficult and challenging step to take. When one leaves a sheltered home to enter the United States Army or other services, he must make a mental as well as physical readjustment. This youth as well as the second type with a broader outlook, makes new friends and formulates new opinions, but unlike the second, does not make the most of his chance, and does not use his powers to their best advantages. He looks forward only to the time when he may leave behind these friends, forget those so recently formed opinions, and return to civilian life- possibly to college or business, probably in a mental frame of mind which in no way stimulates his power to think constructively or conscientiously. Let us not think that he will not make a good citizen, a devoted husband, and father, one who obeys his leaders and employers and appreciates their judgment, we may find, however, that he does not have the mental awakeness necessary for him to become an active civic worker in building the lasting and righteous world for tomorrow. ln contrast, let us take the second youthg he is one who through his own initiative or on the urging and on the accepted advice of others has established a definite conception of his place in the world to come. With his broader viewpoint he can and must make the very most of his opportunities and advantage all through his train- ing period whether in business or college. There can be no excuse for him who has had every advantage, every opportunity, every chance to become one of tomorrow's creative thinkers. He not only forms opinions in formu- lating plans for his part in later working with others, but also learns to subordinate personal prejudices for the good of the whole. In attending college, he prepares himself for business or professional work not only with a view as to how much happiness and prosperity he him- self will have, but also how much he can, by his partici- pation in community or state affairs, bring to others as well. ln this world, try as we may, we can not live apart from others, but must live more with others and jointly work towards a gradual state of harmony and satisfac- tion. Some problems presenting natural difficulties are given below, but their solution must remain at this time for others with more experience to solve so that youth may look forward to a world where brighter horizons shine. Today we have come to the beginning of the end in this second devastating war, and it is not too soon for any young person to start thinking about the post-war world. its purposes, its difficulties, and its conclusions. As has been mentioned before, both types of youths have found the necessity of living and working with others. It should not have taken a war to teach these necessities - we should know how in peace as in war to live calmly and co-operatively with others of different social or finan- cial background. Those of us who have had the poten- tialities of becoming leaders, should use this judgment in tfontinuerl on page fifty-eightj 44 Nc tuI1t1eA tudent Council s15ATED: Mr. Springer and R. Comptong STANDING: left to rightg J. Emerson, J. Gray. J. North, R. Madden, J. McClain. D. Cudlipp, C. Hoyt. The Student Council is the ljxecutive Committee and the representative of the Student Body. It is completely independent and is subject only to the suggestions of Mr. Springer. The Council helps to make the faculty and student body more equal when any problem is discussed. The Councilis Views are transmitted to the faculty by Mr. Springer and seriously taken into consideration before a decision is reached. This Committee meets weekly with Mr. Springer and irons out any diiiiculties which may have arisen during the week. lts principal duties are to enforce the rules of the school and set straight any boy who has broken these rules. The Council also devotes some time to the sale of Vifar Bonds and Stamps and the United Wai' Fund Campaign. This yearis Student Body has been co-operating superbly, and there have been few violations of the school rules. The Council operates a small but xery popular candy stand each year. The business is handled almost exclusively by its members who take turns in selling the candy. All the prohts of the year are given to Pingry to be used in the purchase ol some improx ements lor the school. At the beginning of ex ery school year each class elects its representatives to the Council. The members of this year's Student Council were Raymond Compton. President of the Sixth Form and the Student Body, and therefore chairniang David Cudlipp and John McClain, of the Sixth Form. who split the duty of Secretary 'lor the yearg Joseph Cray and Joseph North. of the Filth Foring Richard Madden and Charles Hoyt of the Fourth lilormg and John lfmerson of tho Third Form. 46 enior Literar lub sl-ZATED: left to rightg W.

The nucleus Robert Smith, Raymond Compton, Arthur Prangley and Williaiii Hildeburn chose Eugene Haring, Donald 0'Brien, David Cudlipp, Robert Nutt, Francis Clark, .lohn Foord, Harry Hoyt, Robert Schwab and Dick Tracy. The Hrst meeting at Mr. l7rance's house was devoted to an outline of the work of the Club and the election of ollicers. Rob Smith and Don O:Brien were elected to the positions of President and Secretary respectively. It was unanimously agreed that a new office of Vice-President should be created, and Cene Haring was immediately decided upon. The primary purpose of the Club is the discussion ol the Modern Literary Wlorks. However, niany meetings have been planned that involve the philosophies and hap- penings of the leaders and masses. Also the program never fails to provide lor a period ol refreshments and discussion. It has been the privilege ol the club to have as guests many inernbers of the faculty, and outside speakers are hoped for bv all. 47 Record Board FRONT ROW: left to right, H. Clark, C. Crump, C.

Despite shortages of material and wartime restrictions on printing, the Pingry uRecordv has enjoyed a very successful year. The paper has been under the able leadership of Raymond H. Compton, who has been responsible for many new and advantageous improvements, in the composition of this year's HRecord.,' The prin- cipal changes were '6Personalities in the Newsf, the improved second page spread, and '6Working with the Stafff' written by the Editor. Particular credit for the publication of the paper is due Donald O,Brien, Managing Editor, John McClain, News Editor, and Dick McManus, Harry Hoyt, and Dick Tracy. The latter three were Associate Editors and gave much of their time towards assisting the editors in making a success of each issue. George Perselay handled the adver- tising end of the publication, and David H. Miller, the circulation. Mr. Casmir A. France and Mr. Victor A. Diebolt were Faculty Advisors. Showtime77 the review of plays and movies was handled by Robert J. Smith, Jr. and Dick McManus. Deserving special attention is the hilariously funny column 'cYour Uncle Donf, written by Donald O'Brien. 4'Sports,Reviews and Previewsw and uSwingin' on Nothin' 7' were credited to John McClain and Robert H. Nutt respectively. Last but not least come the staff writers, who deserve a great deal of credit for their generous contributions in time and energy. All these contributing factors helped make this year's publication one of the very best in recent years. 48 lnternational Relations Club KNEI-LLING: F. Clark, G. Perselayg SEATED: left to rightg .I.

This year the lnternational Relations Club seems to be cultivating a wide-spread interest among the Pingry students. Probably the chief reason for this reaction is that which concerns the part the United States will play in the post-war world. The purpose of the lnternational Relations Club is to stimulate among the boys of the four Upper Forms an interest involving the relations of their own country with the various other world powers. Under the able assistance of Mr. Buflum, the club has satisfactorily proved itself to be a spectacular success. Although most of the members of this club are from the Fifth and Sixth Forms, there are also three members from the Third Form in this year's gathering. The Club meetings are held every Thursday afternoon during the activities period, in lVlr. Buffum's classroom. Every week a different topic is selected for discussion and a new chairman to preside over the meeting is also chosen. The debates usually end up in some very heated arguments between the two opposing factions. However, Mr. Buftum usually restores order before a brawl develops. The International Relations Club has certainly proved itself to be one of the most valuable clubs in Pingry, in that it helps the future men of the country to understand some of the problems which face the United States in its relationships with other nations of the world. 49 Navigation FRONT Row: left to right, A.

Mr. Springer has again lent much of his time to the guidance of one of the schoolis largest clubs, the Navigation Club, divided into two sections, as it has been for the past few years. The larger or elementary section, as it is now, consists of boys who have had little or no previous nautical experience or those who wish to become acquainted with the rudiments of piloting, such as the study of rules of the road, buoyage, charting the course and basic seamanship. The second section is studying a somewhat simplified or practical course in celestial navigation. This work is presented in such a fashion as to make it possible for a person having only algebra and small knowledge of plane geometry to grasp the principles of the previously terrifying celestial triangle. lVlr. Springer has helped along those boys for whom mathematics is more difficult, allowing others to expend their energy and at the same time gain much valuable experience by Working problems suggested in our book. At the beginning of the year, officers were elected to serve as more or less a governing body. Dave Cudlipp is our Commodore, Field Emerson is Vice-Commodore and Bob Danziger has the oiiice of Secretary. lt is hoped that the Navigation Club will follow a custom of many years and take charge of chapel on a Friday. ln the past, many interesting assembly programs have been presented on various nautical subjects. Due to gasoline rationing, we have had no social meetings in the evening. All in all, the Navigation Club is a source of much information, and yet it allows its adherents an enjoyable way of continuing their hobby. 00 lee lub SEATED: left to right, D. Mirabelli, J.

The Glee Club began its rehearsal early in the school year. The original group consisted of a dozen and a half members of the Upper School, whose voices were more husky in volume than in tone. When nearly ready for an appearance in Chapel, the rehearsals had to be interrupted that proper preparations might he made for the Christmas carol service. It would seem that the larger the school, the greater the possibilities for a large Glee Club. This would be good reasoning, all other things equal, but when the very size of the school demands the constant use of every bit of space, it becomes difficult -even impossible-to find a room suitable for rehearsals. This was the situation after the advent of the winter athletic program, shortly after Thanksgiving. At the time this is written, it is impossible to predict just what the situation will be in the spring, but it is fervently hoped that a time and place can be found for the Glee Club during the coming months. 51 ance Committee DANCE COMlVlI'1 1'lil-IZ left zo rightg M. Scott, R. Compton, J. Lehman, A. Alley, J. McClain. Dances this year were extremely gay and well attended affairs, due to the careful planning of the Dance Committee. The social season started with the football dance following the team's last game with Montclair. The gym was skillfully decorated with the teamis jerseys, helmets and blankets, to convey as much of the gridiron atmosphere as possible. The music was furnished by George Basche and his orchestra, who were well received by every- one. To round out a perfect evening, members of the team and coaches were asked to say something about this yearls eleven. As the BLUE BOOK goes to press, the Dance Committee is looking forward to many more dances which will be received with the same enthusiasm as was the football dance. During the latter part of December the Christmas Dance was held with all its brilliance and gaiety. The gym was beautifully decorated with colored lights and trees. Because a number of the Senior Class will be graduated in February, it has been decided that the Junior-Senior Prom will be held sometime in January, so every Senior can be present. This is always the dance of the year at Pingry, and without a doubt it will be just as successful this year as it has been in previous years. Following the Prom, the Dance Committee is planning a basketball dance, fol- lowed up by the annual Spring dance. These dances have always played a real part in our social program in the past. The Dance Committee this year was led by John McClain, with Mahlon Scott, Jack Lehman, Raymond Compton and Alvan Alley assisting. 52 Rifle Club FIRST ROW, Left to Right: F. Gaus, B. Morton, R.

There is especial interest evinced by the younger boys who make up for the quality of their arms by their interest and enthusiasm. The position of the range and the difficulty of reaching it are the main problems of the club, since it is practically impossible for boys living out of town to visit the range and return to school in time for a four oiclock bus. Through membership in the National Rifle Association it has been possible to secure ammunition and there are plenty of cartridges at the present time for the needs of the organization. While the present range is much better than nothing, the fact that only two can shoot at the same time is a hindrance and it is unfortunate that the boys must do with- out spotting scopes and must use broken string and broken pulleys for their target carriers. However, we can only hope that these deficiencies will be met in the future when the state of the war makes it possible. 53 rche tri FIRST ROW, Left to Right: H. Petty, D. F. Miller, F. Clark, P.

With the school spirit aroused to high pitch at the fall football rallies, our team found it hard going not to push over its opponents. An integral part of the rallies was the singing of the school football songs and marches with the music furnished by the orchestra. The marches and overtures played kept the spirit snappy and optimistic despite the outlook of the conflict in view. This year the orchestra is more deserving to be called a band because of its loss of trombones and icellos. Also, the great profusion of trumpets greatly outnumbered the Woodwinds, both in number and volume. The drums 'gtriangledw out the ensemble with a bang. lt seems to be the lot of an orchestra to meet all sorts of obstacles to its growing into a well-proportioned group which can meet often in order to prepare for selections of an advanced nature. Our orchestra, too, has had its share of handicaps due to the lack of strings, to the lack of a proper place to rehearse, and to the inexperiencc of some of the new members. Nevertheless, the director, Mr. August May, also director of the lilizabeth Phil- harmonic Symphony, has integrated the members as well as possible and has produced a workable combination. His unfailing perseverance has been an inspiration to all the members of the orchestra. 54 ramatic Club FIRST ROW, Left to Right: E. Kenyon, F. Rappell, D. Embree, W. Hildeburn, R. Christen- sen, A.

The annual production this year of the Pingry Dramatic Club consisted of three of the five prize winning plays by members of the Armed Forces which were presented on Broadway early last year with great success, under the group title NThe Army, Play by Playf' The first play was a one-act drama Mlilirst Cousins by Corporal Kurt Kazner. Raymond Compton and Charles D,Honau had the outstanding roles, a U-Boat Commander, and his American cousin, respectively. UPack Up Your Troublesw by Pic. Alfred D. Geto was the next play, centering around the highly amusing situation of an expectant father in the Army trying to reach his wife by phone. Albert Bauer played the leading role with james Koopman, Charles D7Honau, Raymond Compton, Kent Truslow, and Edward Kenyon supporting. The third play was a farce entitled HButton Your Lipfi by Corporal lrving Neiman, which tells of the trouble a fresh rookie gets himself into without half trying. A large cast was headed by Al Bauer, Robert Nutt, Donald O'Brien, Kent Truslow, and Edward Kenyon. A series of radio plays is planned at the time of writing, the Christmas play hav- ing already been produced with considerable success. The Vail-Deane production of uQuality Streetw used boys from Pingry to fill the male roles - Richard McClelland, Phil Robertson, and Ed Baime. This year's President was Raymond Compton while Donald O7Brien was Secre- tary with Mr. Casmir A. France again acting as Coach. It was chiefly through the undying eiiort and kindly determination of Mr. France that this yearis club as always met with such success. 55 adio Club RADIO CLUB: SEATED: left to right, H. Petty, R.

The Pingry School Radio Club is one of the newer organizations around the school, but, despite a small membership, has been active throughout the past school term. We like to think of Pingry as a school which stimulates interest in many things. Although our school work is most important, we are also favored with an excellent number of groups and clubs which meet regularly to discuss matters of common interest. The Radio Club is such a club. Under the leadership of Mr. Grim this club has had many profitable hours of enjoyment in pursuing their hobby of radios. Perhaps this interest has been even more intense during the past year or so, with the ever-increasing interest in physics and chemistry which must be of aid to the boys who are members of the Radio group. Like all new clubs this one has had some difficulty in getting started, but we are sure that in the future it will have made a place for itself among our other organizations. XVe wish the club success in the future. 56 Blue Book Board SEATED: R. Smith, Mr. Mayhewg STANDING: left to rightg F. Rapell, D. H. Miller, G. Perse- lay, W. Hildeburn, D. Cudlipp, A. Prangley. ln these critical times of shortages of materials due to the War, it goes without saying that the publication of the BLUE BOOK is a more than difhcult task. In view of this fact, we are indeed fortunate in having as competent a staff as we are endowed with this year. The stall was organized in part by Richard Killough, last yearas editor, and Mr. Theodore L. Mayhew, faculty advisor. Our Editor-in-Chief this year is Robert J. Smith Jr., whose unprecedented efhciency has long been a subject of discussion among the Seniors. George Perselay is our Business Manager, with David H. Miller in charge of circulationg David Cudlipp is capably holding down the position of Managing Editor. Fred Rapell is staff photographerg he has taken many Hne snapshots of school life during the past term. The editors were indeed fortunate this year in obtaining the services of Arthur Prangley who has worked diligently to help make the yearbook a success. The entire BLUE BOOK Board is most appreciative of Mr. Mayhewls kind assistance. He has given many hours of work and thought towards helping us plan and produce our yearbook. The Editor wishes to express his appreciation for the time and energy that Mr. Mayhew has given in his enlightening criticisms and suggestions. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to both the faculty and headmaster whom we have inconvenienced at one time or another during the year. We are personally indebted to Miss Sylvia Rosen of the Comet Press for her invaluable assistance in helping plan an effective, distinctive, and yet traditional layout. The pictures were again taken by White Studio of New York and our engravers this year, as in other years, are Jahn 81 Ollier Co. of Chicago. 57 Youth Looks Ahead tcomzmued from page 441 helping solve the many-sided problems of the race ques- tion as it exists today. ln the South as well as the North, especially in such controversial places as Detroit and New York, there is a menacing threat to our general wel- fare and prosperity because of the constant tension which comes to a head in the so-called race riots between the whites and the colored. It is for the youths of today to look ahead to the time when we may be called upon to tackle such problems, so that we may at least have better co-operation, and a feeling of closer harmony, with jobs, equalized possibilities, and equal opportunities for all. Youth today looks forward to helping bring about such harmony not only in domestic affairs, but bringing agreement and coordination in foreign issues as well. ln working with other nations with different types of gov- ernment, we must put all before us on common ground and stabilize such things as economics, politics, and intra- state and interstate commerce. The realization of a 4'Family of Nations must come in our lifetime, if not directly within the next Five, ten, or fifteen years. The enemy must be conquered, but not so completely that we can not rebuild their minds and souls to join with us in fostering peace and security for all the peoples of the earth. We hear a lot about post-war problems, problems such as demobilization, reconversion from war-time to peace-time business enterprise, and industrial and labor reorganization and economy, and, most recently, the ques- tion of peace-time compulsory military service. Despite the fact that we as a whole have really no conception of the magnitude of these pursuits, we can still read up on similar difficulties past and present, and be able to take our rightful place when the time comes for us to voice our opinions, and to step into the field of readjustment of social, economical, and political problems. There must be a chance for all people to have equal say and repre- sentation, equal business opportunities, standardized r 0 Ju education, and also and most important, jobs, and enough of them for all in order to make all men self-respecting and self-maintaining. Unemployment has always been a strong factor in the gradual degeneration of more male members of the human race. It has led to bitterness, and becomes a threat, if allowed to continue, against an unemployed personfs will to take an active part in earning a living, even if offered the chance. Unemployment may lead to moral turpitude, and more often habitual intoxication. Slum areas, the breeding place of the unemployed, must be cleaned out, they serve not only as an illustration of a bad type of living conditions, but they also tend to demoralize the rest of a city's people. No righteous person can really live comfortably and happily without realizing this problem, and trying to bring about the clearing up of the misery, intolerable negligence, and general filth and starvation which exists in all large centers of population. Perhaps we can not bring about such changes, per- haps we can not become active in rebuilding fallen humanity. But we can and must correct our own mis- takes, and make the very most of our own God-given gifts of loyalty, foresight, integrity, intelligence, and conserve our own ability to live righteously, justly, and in co-operation with all. We must prepare ourselves for helping establish an existing, working, and lasting order for world peace and security, arrange for educational and social reforms, bring about a systematized form of demo- cratic government. We must also provide for the safety, security, and peace of our children, and our children's children. We, the youth of today, must look forward with a radiant hope and faith for a brighter, happier, more spiritually perfect world of tomorrow. Then we may rightfully be called the thinkers, followers, and students of today, and the teachers, leaders, and build- ers in, of, and for the world to come.

ATHLETIC EXEC TI E CUIVIMITTEE This committee, while one of the least known in the school, has a most important part to perform in our athletic life. The function of this group is to award varsity letters to those studentswho play on the various teams and to decide on the school's athletic policies. The membership is composed of all the coaches, captains and managers of the Pingry teams. The permanent members are-Mr. Williams, director of athletics and football, and baseball coach, Mr. Lesneski, assistant director of athletics and basket- ball and track coach, Mr. Dimock, tennis coach and Mr. West, soccer coach. The president of the Student Council is designated as chairman. ' From time to time this committee is called upon to make important decisions regarding our relationship with the schools with which we compete. YVe are all proud that this committee and those in the past have forwarded the excellent athletic relationships we now have with our competitive schools. 60 FIRST Row, Left to Right: L. Keefe, E.

This was requisite for only two lettermen, Captain John McClain and Mahlon Scott, returned from last yearis squad. With these two as a nucleus, a new and totally inexperienced team was formed. Out of what appeared to be absolute chaos came a team of spirit and determination, of which Pingry can well be proud. Even though a record of three wins, three losses and a tie certainly cannot be called sen- sational, the team fought hard throughout every game, despite many handicaps. The sparkplug of the yearis fighting eleven was unquestionably Captain John McClain. It was uBed's,' dominant leadership and ability that pulled the team out, giving double support, and injected a scoring punch into every team-mate. Nevertheless, no credit should be taken from our charging line. lt was composed of Jack Lehman, Joe North, John Willis and Lawrence Oxley as ends, Jack Clemence, Bob Jones and Kent Truslow as tackles, L'Bed,' lVlcGinley and Bill Syms as guards, and Dave Miller and Ned Dimock as centers. In the backfield the team really had the necessary power, strengthened with the powerhouses, Baldwin and McClain. The responsibility for rounding the ends was placed capably on the shoulders of halfbacks Mahlon Scott, Alvan Alley and Dick lVIclVIanus. ln the way of capable substitutes, the team was not found deficient. There were many good players, and among them were Harry Hoyt, Edwin Baime, Bud Patten, Drury Cooper, Colin Dillon, Ted Alley and Lennie Hayes. This certainly constituted a well-rounded team, based mainly on teamwork and fight- ing spirit, which prevails Whenever a Pingry team plays. 61 'I'hf- action shots displaxed on this ia-1' V . 1 ,L were taken during the Piugry-Nltmtclair game last fall. These pictures show the true lighting spirit that charactcrizes Plllgllf on the athletic fielrl whether Varsity or g'lVliclget Squads are playing. The team was fairly successful this past year winning 50 percent of its games with schools in our prep- schoul class throughout New jersey. lJlIl:fQl'y has heen fort ' unate fm the past several years by having Reese Williams and Vincent L. Lesm-ski as our coaches. To them go our thanks for their excellent and unselfish efforts on hehalf of our many teams. s Second Team Third Team Middle School Squad 0666 SEATED: left to righzg J.

Because of the graduation of a large majority of last year's squad, thus leaving a deficit of experienced players, this yearis soccerites did not live up to pre-season expectations. One of the teamis main difficulties was the scheduling of games with teams in the Prep School Class. The only available teams are high school squads such as Summit and Chatham, and these teams are at a distinct advantage due to a much larger choice of players. This holds true especially in Chathamis case, for they center entirely on soccer and have won the State Championship consistently in the past few years. This yearis forward line was manned regularly by Bruce Bensley, Frank Hickey, Alfred Pfeil, Buddy Hoyt and Bob Schwab. Bob will be remembered outstandingly, for he scored our only goal against Chatham. Reservists for the forward line were Dick McClelland and Ted Smith. Bob Nutt, Dick Tracy and Eugene Haring were our halfbacks, and Jack Walker' and Bill Hillbrant were the fullbacks. Back field reservists were David Koth, Fred Gaus and ,lack Binns. Our star goalie was Dick Nelson, a newcomer to this year's squad. Even though every contest was bitterly and hard fought, Pingry lost all of its soccer games. Pingryis only home game, which was with Chatham, was played on the new field near the reservoir. The scores of the games are as follows: Chatham 3. Pingry Og Summit 2, Pingry Og Chatham 7, Pingry 1, Summit 3, Pingry 0. Although the outlook for next year's team is uncertain, we feel that with general interest and co-operation on the school's part, and with Mr. West's able supervision and coaching, the soccer picture for 1945 will be a bright one. 64 Swimming FIRST ROW, Left to Right: C.

Although the swimming team was not very victorious, the boys showed a good deal of talent and ability. The forty yard free-style event was taken care of by Joe North and Charles Paules, both of whom are excellent general swimmers. Field Emerson and Harold Switzgable swam as the two back-strokers. Captain Rowland Blythe and Joe Gray swam in the one hundred yard free-style. Bowlo', was elected captain in the middle of the season and proved to be a capable leader. Red,, McGinley and Phil Robertson handled the breast-stroke event in bang-up fashion. Three boys alternated in the two-twenty free-style event. These natators were ,loe Gray, ,lohn Emerson, and Bob Croucher. John Vilett served as anchor man in the medley relay and won many of the races by pulling us out from a big deficit. As this volume goes to press, the team has had four out of their five meets. In the first meet, the Blue and White mermen defeated South Side by the score of 35-22. The first Newark Academy test was an easy one for the Academy men, but in the sec- ond one, the Parker Roaders were nosed out of victory. The scores were 37-20 and 30-27, respectively. ln the Westheld meet we were easy meat for their boys. A lot of credit should go to Coach Dealey, who whipped what material he had into a group of hard fighting tankmen. 65 Ka leet6al The Pingry basketball team started practice on November 27th. The loss of key men such as John Emery, Warren Hutchinson, Ken Heitman, Lou Methfessel, and Bob Braeder proved a severe blow and made the outlook a little doubtful, but with the return of lettermen Captain Mahlon Scott, John McClain, Dick McManus, and Jack Lehman the teanfs hopes brightened. These boys provided the nucleus for Coach Les to build his 1944-1945 outfit. Although they lack that pre- cious quality- height -there is plenty of spirit and speed to exploit the fast break to its best advantage, which is the type of offense that the team uses. After a number of scrimmages with neighboring schools, the squad was all set for the regularly scheduled games. Then the team moved into its opening game with Carteret. The quintet, working well as a unit, defeated the Orangers 11-3-12, and held them to one basket from the floor. Mahlon Scott was high scorer with a well-earned ten points. In our next game with Montclair Academy the team could not find itself, and was handicapped by the aforementioned lack of height and went down to its first defeat, -Ll.-29, fighting all the way. Dick McManus was high man, hitting the nets for fifteen points. The next game was a nip and tuck affair with Rutgers Prep, with Pingry coming out on top, 35-32. Again lVfclVfanus was top point-getter, duplicating his previous total of fifteen points. The team moved against Trinity and won in an overtime period because of Frank Hickeyls field goal 32-28. Newark Academy gave the Blue Boys their next defeat, but only after a surprisingly hard game in which the team rose to unprecedented heights and almost upset the odds but lost 36-35. Morristown and Carteret then fell Vic- tims to the quintet by scores of 54-20 and 25-21. Top scorers PINGRY SCORES AGAINST NEWARK l in most of these games were Captain Scott and Dick McManus. Montclair defeated the Blue and White in the return game 410-29, to leave the record at 5 and 3 at the time of this writing. Coach Lesneski deserves a great deal of credit for developing a very fine team this year although the fellows had little previous experience. FIRST ROW, Left to Right: M. Cassedy, F. Hickey, L.

However, in predicting the results of the 745 sea- son, all that must be remembered is last year's highly successful squad, for with few exceptions the same team will take the field in the forthcom- ing season. Returning for this yearls diamond battles, there are nine lettermen and many of last year's prom- ising reserves. Alternating between pitcher and third base will be Joe North along with Captain Red lVlcClain. Vic Siegel, and Bob Danziger, the squadls only south-paw, will be ready for mound duty. Jack Lehman and Kent Truslow will alternate between catcher and the outfield, with Ned Dimock and Charlie Hayes in reserve. All four candidates for the backstop position have the two main requirements for a catcher- a good, husky build and a strong, accurate throw- ing arm. The keystone pair will consist of Mah- lon Scott, a veteran of many seasons, and Dick McManus or Frank Hickey at second and short, 68 Ka e6all respectively. Continuing with the prospective line-up, Bill Seaman will be covering the initial base. The third base spot will be filled possibly by Hickey or McManus when not at short or by David F. Miller, with John Willis showing prom- ise. Of course the line-up predicted above is not at all definite as, from among the Freshmen and new boys in the school, there may be a great many talented ball players who will make last yearls veterans hustle to keep their posts. ln predicting the outcome of the 1945 season, the results are fairly obvious, judging from the record of '44 which shows that although the team as a whole was not hard hitting, it packed the necessary punch to come through in the pinches. The record has it that at the season's close, Pingry had won eight games and lost two, but what might be noticed is that the two teams at whose hands we lost, we later went on to defeat. Thus, everyone feels confident that with Coach Williams' leadership and spirit behind the team, we should have a successful season. We have just obtained the results of the first three games of this year's baseball squad. In a thrilling over- time opener, the team defeated Xewark Academy, our arch-rival, hy a last-inning rally. During the first six and one-half innings, Pingry was on the losing end of a 4-0 score. ln the last half of the seventh, the tide turned and the team really got down to business. We got four runs on two walks, an error. and three hits to tie up the ball-game. ln the extra inning. we got the tie-breaking and winning run on two singles and an error. Our winning streak continued throughout the following game, with Carteret. ln this game, Joe North took over the mound duties and pitched a wonderful two-hit game. The Pingry nine Was in complete command all the Way, and the Carteret team garnered only one run during the game. On the strength of thirteen hits, the Betsy-towners won by a final score of 17-1. Our slate was kept clean in the third game, with Englewood. As in the Carteret game, we outclassed their team in every respect. Our hitting, coupled with HRed lVlcClain7s two-hit pitching, won a victory by the score Of 14-1. 1-'1Rs'1' now, Lefz Lo Right: E. Kenyon, W. Seaman, J. McClain, M.

As yet, the team has not been formulated, but Coach Les is hoping that some natural material will be on hand within the next few weeks. Returning to captain this year's team is Tom Cashmore, our star umilerf' Along with Tom will be Bob Christensen, another returning letterman from last year,s team. Chris, in all probability, will run the 220 and the 440. Our only other returning veteran is ,lack Walker. Last year Jack was our pole vaulter and great things are expected from him this year. The three will form the backbone of what is hoped to be a winning combination. Along with these veterans, there will be numerous other prospects. Although it is too early to prophesy how they will turn out, we are sure that under Mr. Les's excellent supervision, a good team will result. .lack Clemence and Bob Jones will handle the shot-put, while Bill lVlcCaffery will take care of the discus. ln the run- ning events, the preview is much brighter. Along with Bob Christensen in the 220 will be John Lummis and Al Register. Al will also run the 830. The l00 yard and high jump are still uncertain. The number of meets scheduled with other teams is rather uncertain, but there are possibilities of meets with Newark Academy, Roselle Park, Scotch Plains, and Montclair. These will be so planned that there will be one meet per week. 70 Tenni e m ln view of the fact there are no returning lettermen, the outlook for this yearis team is not very bright. It is also possible that there will be some new courts created on the newly acquired reservoir field. These possibilities will greatly augment our expectations for the coming season. This year the team will be captained by George Perselay. George, along with Marshall Cassedy, won a minor letter last year, and these two will form the nucleus of the team. Even though the team will be formed of mostly inexperienced players, Coach George E. Dimock is optimistic about its general make-up. Last year's team had a successful season, and played many games with other schools, and finally in the Princeton interscholastics. The schedule for this year has not as yet be completed, but games are tentatively listed with Newark Academy, Montclair, Morristown and Plainfield High School. Among the potential material is our manager for this year, John Edmundson. He, along with three or four others, will do their best to make this forthcoming season as successful as those in the past have been. We feel confident that under Mr. Dimockls excellent coaching, this group of players can be molded into a highly successful team. FIRST ROW, Left to Right: J. Gray, J. Edmundson, G. Perselay, D.

VARSITY CL The Varsity Club is one of the new clubs to come into the Curriculum of the school. The club was founded last year and is composed of all boys who have won major letters in any sport. This year the Club has quite a few members, the majority being seniors. The club meets about every two months to discuss various sport topics and occasionally has moving pictures on football or baseball games. This is one of the few organizations in Pingry that is not open to all boys: it is available only for that certain small group of boys who have distinguished them- selves in the athletic field and have won their coveted Pingry HP. 72 Arthur Prangley, Associate Editor, R.

Acknowledgments At the close of every year it has been the custom for the staii of the yearbook to extend their thanks to all those who have been given assistance in producing it. To Mr. Theodore L. Mayhew goes our deep thanks and sincere appreciation for the Work which he has done this past yearg without his expert guidance and effort, it would have been hard to surmount some of the many problems which have arisen during the yearbook's publication. To both Mr. Peter S. Gurwit of ,lahn 81 Ollier, Co., and lVliss Sylvia Rosen of The Comet Press, Inc., go our especial thanks for their understanding and genuine interest in co-operating with the yearbook staff in putting out our BLUE Book. To the members of the Pingry Faculty goes much deserved appreciation for their kindness towards us when necessity compels us to miss or be late for some classes, and be slightly behind in handing in homeworkg it has been a diflicult but pleasant job producing the book, and such understanding on the part of these men has not gone unnoticed. To Fred Rapell, Robert Boise, and Richard Cruess goes credit for their work in photography. We are indebted also to Mr. l. Fieldnian of Elizabeth for his many line pictures. Our thanks go also to all the many fellows who have Written articles and given time in other ways. Vtfithout their spirit of friendliness and helpfulness, we could not have had a 1945 BLUE BOOK. 73 Elizabeth Carteret Hotel uk ESTABLISHED 1818 X Y ' 2 ,F 5 xt ,E W, '1 2179 ii? - CEEeeee3ee5Q3 .
