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.
