I. uBud, Hilde Princeton, Navy Three years at Pingry Literary Club VI, Navigation Club IV, International Re- lations Club VI. 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.

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. A good student, Red'7 stepped into stride, but excels more in the field of athletics. ln the fall he made his bid on the gridiron and later used his skill and accuracy to advantage on the basketball court. His easy stride will make him a candidate for this spring,s track team. Here's wishing you the best of luck, Len! ikikiir tiki?

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
