Staunch followers of Pingry's athletic games are sure to recognize Bob, for since B . . 1 X i. It .al his Junior year he has been varsity ma eri every season, thereby holding the distinction of being a three-letter man. However were these followers able to watch other school activities, they would likewise be unable to miss Bob. ln addition to his leadership in athletics, culminated by the basketball cap- taincy, he was elected vice-president of the class for the junior year and Student Council member for the senior year. All these activities haven't kept him from maintaining a high scholastic average. Bob has hitched his wagon to engineering and in the future many star performances are sure to result just as they have in the past.

Since then his willingness to work coupled with a congenial personality have brought him a long way and have won him many friends. As well as holding up his end scholastically, Bob has compiled an enviable record in extra- curricular activities. Last fall Bob played some high grade soccer on one of Pingry's more successful teams. Besides this he was a member of the basketball team. However, his greatest natural ability lies in pole-vaulting, and consequently he has been a member of the track team for the last three years. VVith his many talents and his will to succeed, Bob should fare well in his chosen vocation, teaching.

During the colder months Mel may be seen devouring a meal big enough for two people in order to be pre- pared for the wintry blasts. In the spring he shows his stuff on the baseball diamond, l wiere he plays First base. The most notable thing about Mel is his big' ear-to-ear smile, which has won him a great number of friends during' his years here at Pinlfrv. and ..

During this lonff stay , -5 his sense of humor and uncontrollable laugh have made many occasions exceedingly mer- ry. lVhen the fun is over, however, Bill is a diligent student. He has become quite pro- licient in Spanish and may sometimes be heard chatting with himself in the lan0'ua0'e N tw of the bullhghters. A powerful athlete, Hil- ly has earned his varsity l ' in three sports. He has acquired personal honor and glory as charging fullback on the soccer team, as a prolicient swimmer and as ace sprinter in track. Hill has made many friends here at lhngry and is sure to continue to do so throughout life.
