Meet Millburn's gift to the Class of '-18. Bob has been amazing us with his athletic ability ever since he joined us back in the seventh grade. He earned himself a starting position on the soccer team this fall and then proceeded to prove himself an invaluable member of Mr. Les's basketball team. The save he made in the .Edison game was the first time any human has successfully defied the laws of gravity. In the spring, llob will be a great help to Mr. NVilliams on the baseball team. Always interested in lishing and hunting, Bob was elected President last year of the Rod and Gun Club and has also been a member of the Rifle Club. On the social side, it has often been said that a party can not be a success Without Bob accom- panied by one of his luscious females. Heres good luck to a swell guy who cant miss.

Upon entering Pingry's halls fouiiyears ago, Billls broad sense of humor and agree- able nature soon VVO11 him popularity with the whole class. Subtle in character, his humor has enlivened the class on many an occasion, while his pleasant disposition has brought him many friends. Bill can also be classified as one of the better scholars. Don't think, however, that he spends all his time on his books, for he has been active in extracur- ricular affairs. He has devoted much time to the Bluff Book as its Managing Editor, and in addition is busy in many clubs. YVhile the future is impossible to predict, it is fairly certain that Bill will make a success of it. HARRY GRAY BURKS, H1 january 11, 1931 855 Salem Avenue, Elizabeth. N.

Since Harry entered Pingry away back when, he has made a most enviable record. Not only one of the liigh-ranking members' of his class scholastically, he is fast approach- ing the status of pro in golf and tennis. This year Doc has been kept very busy as .Xssociate Editor of the Record. He is very easy to spot in a crowdg all one must do is say one disparaging' word about Standard Oil and he will be right in front of him, arguing until he apologizes. Most of the Doc's spare time is spent out at llaltusrol, where he practices for his week-end matches with the older golfers. After leaving Pingry, Harry is headed for Princeton to study engineering and will no doubt even surpass his previous record.
