After coming to the north, he became a student at Union High, and was there until last year.

His talent for performing magic, on the stage and off, has been looked upon with awe. One year he performed an hour of magic before the student body. Since hels the life of every party, there's never a dull moment with Dick around, in his own words. Never fear, Sam's heref' His twelve years of dancing school are evident on the dance floor. In line with this he has never missed a single dance in his four years in the Upper School.

Five years ago, when the class of '48 was in the Second Form, a new face appeared in its midst. This new face was that of Fred Gans, His pleasant ways have won him many friends since that time. His greatest joy around Pingry has come from playing Soccer for the last four years. This year Fred was proud captain of the Soccer team which compiled the best record in seventeen years. In regard to his scholastic achievements, languages are his pet subject. This affinity is borne out by the fact that he joined the newly formed French Club. In mentioning Fred it would be impossible to overlook his blue Pontiac, The Foggy Den,', which has been seen in every sector of the nearby counties. His plans for the future center around St. Lawrence University, where he will undoubtedly make a fine showing.
