After being in Pingry for seven years, Kirk has become famous in the eyes of his classmates for his amiable personality and quiet friendliness. The excellent job he has done collecting ads for the Record is typical of Kirk's ability to do everything thoroughly. Just as thorough on the dance floor, UB. K. is definitely one of the better dancers in the class. An ardent lover of the shore. he raves about Bay Head to all his friends and is convinced that it is the best summer resort of all. The Kirkland 1'ackard was the talk of the class before it was traded in. Kirk can't help but be a good driver after learning in it. Bob will always be remembered as one of the more friendly members of the class, and his desire to get ahead along with his other traits are going to help him along to ultimate success. 30 XVALTER SICHEL LERMER August 21, 1930 76 Duffield Drive, South Grange. N. -I. PVaIt', TVVELV1? YEARS AT PINGRY ClIlIlt'J'tl Club, V. XValter is one of the old guard here at Vingry, arriving in the Iirst grade. Although he belonged to only one club, he is by no means loafmg. He is a steady, dependable worker in his studies, and a faithful rooter at all athletic events. He drove to all the away games. taking with him members of the team or eager fans. He was always to be seen helping out at the soccer field with the preparations for a game, or acting as lines- man at the football games. However, he is most likely best known as the person who runs the motion picture machineg as a matter of fact, he seems to be the only one who knows the secret combination. 1Vho will be able to forget tl1e worried look on XValt's face as he anxiously looks toward a recal- citrant light before the beginning of the movies? No one doubts that XYalter's future will be bright. If cnsscla cr
