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

'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.

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.

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!
