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. Sfkiirik irikik

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.

'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.
