As a theme, we have chosen our Alma Mater because it is the first year of its existence. It is a new part of an old tradition and deserves the respect of all of us as one of those intangibles which makes Pingry what it is. Whether it is the best possible Alma Mater or not, it is ours and we shall revere it for years to come. Other things such as school spirit, the honor system, and the 6'Blue and White'7 have found their way into this book. Often these did not come because of a conscious effort, but because they are a part of Pingry which we have known for twelve long years. These things are in the 194-9 BLUE BOOK not only in words but also in spirit. When you, the reader, pick up this book ten or more years hence, as we fervently hope you will, you will realize that, inexpert as it may be, it is our attempt at Pingry. During the preparation of this book, there were times when the editors became despondent and were ready to quit, but in the backs of our minds was the feeling that eventually we would turn out a book that would represent the Class of 19419. Now that the BLUE BOOK is completed, we feel a sense of accomplishment in presenting to you what we hope are our best efforts. Above all the book belongs to you because it is, in a small way, the personification of Pingry-its clubs, its sports, its spirit. We not only leave it to the school but also take it with us in that it is a part of us. We would like to take this opportunity in our annual publication to say to The Pingry School: Good luck to that wonderful place which has given us so much.

He is one of those members of the faculty to whom all returning alumni go for a visit. He is a fine master, and a wonderful coach- lout most of all, a great friend. Because he has meant so much to our class and to Pingry School, We respectfully dedicate and ex- tend our best wishes to Mr. Vincent L. Lesneski.

LAURENCE SPRINGER Princeton B.A.g University of Buffalo M.A. Appointed 1936 HEADIMASTER Few schools are fortunate enough to have a headmaster of the caliber of Mr. Springer. Besides being an able and efficient administrator, he takes a personal interest in every individual connected with the school. To the Seniors he is a Godsend, for he carefully helps them with every problem concerning college entrance. The series of courses on religion and ethics, which he initiated a number of years ago, has definitely helped to prepare us to meet the problems and responsibilities which each of us will have to face in college and in later life. These courses have been so successful that this year he was asked to write an article about them for a nationally famous magazine. Mr. Springer, in his thirteen years as headmaster of Pingry, has maintained a standard of excellence of which few independent schools can boast. There have been a few times when boys have thought that his advice was unfair, but they will always agree that, in the long run, he is right and that he always has the best interests of the boy at heart. We, the class of 1949, are proud to extend our best wishes to the man who, in the opinion of all of us, has given so much that we may become useful, good citizens.

While Pingry's Board of Trustees is not one of the most publicized of school institutions, its actions have a great effect on the Well-being of the school. Its twelve members are all men who give unstintingly of their time and energy to Pingry affairs in spite of their heavy business responsibilities. Pingry is fortunate in having such a group of men as its Trustees-they share with the Headmaster the responsibility for maintaining the great tradition established by Dr. ,lohn Pingry, that of a school which instills in its graduates the will to serve and improve the community. This tradition of continuing service is borne out by the presence of four alumni on the Board. The Board has several functions, but its main responsibilities are two-fold: to govern the financial affairs of the school, and to discuss with the Headmaster any important matters bearing on Pingry's welfare. The President of the Board is Mr. Conover English, class of 1894, Mr. Henry Kreh, Jr., holds office as Vice- Presidentg Mr. Allen F. Myers, '98, acts as Secretary, and Mr. Charles A. Corbet is Treasurer. Other members of the Board are: WML Joseph A. Brophy, '11, Mr. Percy H. Buchanan, '12, Mr. James B. Burke, Mr. Spencer D. Embreeg Mr. Robert W. Parsons, Mr. Frank Scott, Jr., Mr. George D. Smith, '21, and Mr. Stephen W. Waterlaury, '14. ' Deceased February 23, 1949 Page mae J f i ' F1 LU LTYC, Page ten OTHO L. VARS REESE WILLIAMS GEORGE E.

These people, however, are the ones who keep Pingry going. Mrs. King and Miss Crane are the two school secretaries. They efficiently assist Mr. Springer in carrying out his duties as head- master and show that they sincerely have the welfare of the boys at heart by helping every boy who steps into their office. Fallii The school business manager is Mr. Oscar Bundshuh and his assistant is Mr. Walter Grote. These two men sell books and supplies and take care of the finances of the school. Due to circumstances beyond our control, their photograph was omitted from this book. We hope that they will accept our sincerest apologies.

Each year its members are elected by the students to represent the four upper classes. The Council's main tasks of enforcing rules and of giving aid and advice to straighten out individual problems are at- tended to at its weekly meetings. Led by its President, Peter Jones, the Council has been active in relations with Pingry's afliliated French School. This includes gathering and wrapping the much needed articles to be sent to France, and arousing interest in active and enlightening correspondence between Pingry and French students. Among other pleasant duties that the Student Council has performed this year is that of selling candy after luncheon, the proceeds of which go to- wards a gift for the school. This year the Council has not had to act on any violation to the Honor System, as this system, of which Page fourteen Pingry is extremely proud, has worked mag- nificently. In acknowledging the sense of responsibility and honor in each boy, tl1e school has run this year as a well oiled machine. Other than the President of the PSenior Class, who is therefore the President of the Student Council, the Council is composed of the class presidents of the remaining three Upper School forms, two representatives from each of the upper three classes, and one representative from the Freshman Class. Mr. Shrewsbury acts as the faculty advisor to the Council. Senior members were President Peter Jones, Joe Carragher and Bob Siegel, and representing the Junior Class were John Wallace, Bill Mackey and Jeff Field. The Sophomores of the group were David Lemal, Joe Hanaway and Costan Berardinelli, and venturing from the Freshman Class were Frederick Schroeder and Bill Baekey.

Two distinctions marked our start: one, we were one of the biggest first grades in Pingry's history, and two, we were the first class to enter the new Harriet Budd Hall with Miss Josephine L. Wright as head- mistress. Of the original sixteen only two, Dick West and Ken Barton, have made the full climb to graduation this June. As we progressed through the next three years we added one of the following each year: Bob Siegel, alias uWalter Mitty , pessimist Wilber Brekenridge, and reticent J oe Bugliari. Our final year in the Lower School was marked by the advent of Mike Bristol, the cynical woman-hater, and Andy Campbell. Upon entering the Middle School we were greeted by a strong contingency of J im uDale McHarg, Dick Rothschild, one of our tougher members, milcr Tommy Tucker, John Wei- gel, and Warren Radcliffe, the man with the get-away car. Form One added to our ranks Joe Arace, nominee for best dressed, Wesley Eason, one of our n1o1'e stable members, Jack MNever-Hurry Maffenbeier, 'LLover,' Bill Remington, ,lack Searles, brightest and most industrious, Willis Smith, curator of Staten Island, and Stu Truslow, the mad man with the shiny new motorcycle. Our final year under Mr. Var's influence gave us Joe Car- ragher, most active, '4Madame,' Hartkopf, Captain 6'Bull7' Hills, dateless Lindsay Laird, Karl 66Who is it this week Molloy, HAdmiral Rogers, and Ray Welsh, noted from coast to coast as the center who packs a wallop. Our class was finally ready for the big step and we entered quite suavely into the Upper School. Meeting our scared group for the first time that opening day were: Bill Gindin, class politician and BLUE BOOK editor, '4Windy7' Reynolds, Peter Jones, a great class President, lacadasical Dan McMullen, silent .lack Strachan, and Harry G'First to Marry Walburg. Our sophomore year brought Dick Bardusch, most naive, Lynn Gordon, most un- conscious, Bill Hanzl, our own Burl Ives, skiing Randy Major, Bill uDizzy Gillespiew McClenaghan, and Pinky Snyder. Our junior year saw us at last becoming big shots, a very enjoyable pastime for our class. Amongst us at this time were: Reed Arnold, '4Pretty Boy Hall, Teke Heston, that tiny tackle who captained the footballers, Peter King, the class apple polisher, and Dick Sturmer, voted worst driver. Our final year added Bill Moore, who is said to handle cars and women suc- cessfully, Paul Scannel, Ben Warren, the all-state football player from West Notting- ham, Doug Weed, the electrician, and P. Gfs Bill Alley, Bob Chamberlain, and Dick Gallagher. This brought the total of our class to fifty, not as big as in past years, but better in quality in the opinion of fifty of us. We as a class have always enjoyed our enterprises here at school. At times the amount of work involved in our studies and activities seemed to get us down, and we will probably never fully realize how much that it has helped in aiding our maturity, but wc will be always grateful. Therefore no matter what we do or where we go we will always look back on Pingry as a great mile- stone in our careers. It will hold pleasant memories for us in the years to come as we remember the days when we were uforty- ninersv. Pingry has made its mark on us, a good mark, and we hope that we have made an equally good mark on Pingry. Page seventeen SENIURS Page eighteen JOSEPH EMIL ARACE, JR.

The Aratch, Joe Nichols Seven Years At Pingry Football, V, VI, Senior Ring Committee V3 Record Board, IV, V, VI 5 Swimming Manager, VI 5 Dance Committee, VI 3 Athletic Executive Committee, VI, Rod and Gun Club, IV, United World Federalist, V. The name of Joe Arace is known to almost everyone in Pingry. His good work on the football team and his position of manager on the swim- ming team establish him as a well known sports enthusiast. Joe works very hard at his studies, but he always finds time to help out in school activities such as the Dance Committee, on which he did such a wonderful job this year. He is one of the most genial and friendly members of the senior class and is liked by all. With his winning personality, he will undoubtedly make his mark anywhere. MERLYN REED ARNOLD November 10, 1931 17 Tuxedo Place, Cranford, N. J. Reed Colgate Two Years At Pingry Dramatics Club, VI g Spanish Club, VI 5 Band, Vg Basketball, VI, Track, V, VI. Although Reed has been in Pingry for only two years, he has won himself a place of high regard among his classmates. He is on the quiet side and his interests move in a serious vein. Known for his ability on the saxophone, Reed was a member of last year's band and unsuccessfully sought to have it revived this year. While he has shown great interest in extra-curricular activities, Reed tends more towards sports. He was on the basketball team and, this spring, ran the 880 on the track squad. Next fall will find Reed in Ham- ilton, N. Y., and Pingry's loss will be Colgateis gain. RICHARD EVANS BARDUSCH February 17, 1931 84 Maplewood Avenue, Maplewood, N. J. Dick Princeton Three Years At Pingry Track, VI. Dick is one of the most reticent and unassuming boys in the class of '49, He just goes about his work quietly and efficiently. He is mildly an introvert, and enjoys his books and reflective moments better than social or athletic activities. He is a true scholar, appreciating mature abstract thought, and speculating just for its own stim- ulating experience. ln spite of this quietness, however, Dick always has a friendly smile for everyone as he steps out of Mr. Stokes' car every morning. He will undoubtedly continue success- fully his thirst for learning at Princeton or what- ever campus he graces. KENNETH HOUSTON BARTON August 20, 1931 515 Trotters Lane, Elizabeth, N. .l. Ken North Carolina Twelve Years At Pingry Vice-President of Class, V, VI, Student Coun- cil, III, IV, Chairman Ring Committee, V, Span- ish Club, V, VI, Record Board, IV, V, VI, Editor- in-Chief, VI, Hand Book Stag, VI, Basketball, V, VI, Football Manager, VI, Athletic Executive Committee, VI. During his twelve year stay here at Pingry, Ken has become the personiiication of Pingry. He is a combination of attitudes, actions, and achievements so characteristic and typical of our school. His versatility and ambition are shown by the fact that he was one of the leading scorers on this year's basketball team, manager of the football team, and editor of the Record. Ken has been accepted at Chapel Hill, and we all know that he will continue on to become as much a part of that school as he has been of Pingry, for he is destined for success. 1949 WMDJP, 99hg,Q.-J5:1'4,o-c01'UlflA l'-' ages, gain: ,Hman 7L'U,u,. ,w-'M+Q-'+- n, .,,, ,TT 1 1 .7.g!-,thy 1415.14---J a'HZT9'M' jf:-.n-.-44 ILM at Fffaf ffer, aw. fa.. dv W O-' 4?-ai-H - bww Page nineteen ,4LJ SE IU WILBUR TOBIAS BRECKENRIDGE May 8, 1931 40 Euclid Avenue, Maplewood, N. .l. Will, Breck Union Seven Years At Pingry International Relations Club, VI. Willaur is the scientist of our class. His favorite and best subjects are the more technical ones. He can pick out details and perceive unnoticed but important factors in an argument. ln fact, Breck has the gift of noticing all influential de- tails. He is known for his arguments with the masters in which he tries to clarify his own think- ing. He is an individualist who stands by his con- victions at any expense. Will is a good student and should do well at Union and in later life when he plans to be a research scientist. o 4- 1542 5 -528650 Ib J' If X . - 9,80 boa- Vol, 0- f,3?,qQ,, 'gffQ oY,o-N A K wb O 5 5 4 ,C ' 06? 6 Q0 x X 0' 0 0 X od 0' W' .fr o- v- W9 Ns,Q4'f'q as ,Q-5,43 9 ,, so WEN ,xo of X555 MICHAL WILD BRISTOL llxo-'Elf' SQISPSJNI-fo ,oxxdxfo xf-Vlo SCO QA f' X Q! oi V' N01- -i ' oy v u5'1,o'l J.. .MSX 2 ora -0 Q .

Even though Michal is the woman hater of the class, he is very amiable and jovial in manner. His joking cynicism has furnished amusement for many classmates on numerous occasions. Mike is also known for the parties he has thrown. These get-togethers will long be remem- bered by those who attended them. Mike has been quite active in extracurricular activities. He has taken part in two sports and has been manager of a third. Scholastically, Mike was one of the highest in the class, and with this fine, alert mind he should be a pronounced success at college and in later life. id? .js T A H. - -W9-4.

Bugs, Boogie Hamilton Nine Years At Pingry Baseball, V, VI, Football, V, VI, Basketball Manager, VI, Athletic Executive Committee, VI g Record Board, V, VI, Circulation Manager, Vlg Handbook Stag, VI. No one in the class of '49 will ever forget Joe's wit and happy-go-lucky air. Besides applying himself to athletics, Joe has been an ardent worker on the Record and Handbook Staffs. In addition Bugs did a grand job this season as basketball manager. Joels mood never changes. He is always happy and appears to be incapable of worry. It just isn't a word in his vocabulary. We are sure, therefore, that his naturalness and jovial manner will carry him to the top of what- ever ladder he chooses to ascend in life. Hamilton is getting a truly great fellow. ' N A 1 in I 4.

Ever since entering these ancient halls eight years ago, Andy has been one of the most popular fellows of the class of '49. Not only has he been popular, but he always has been an ardent Pingry rooter. His boundless enthusiasm is shown by his cheerleading for the past two years. He was one of the most spirited fellows on this year's football team. Not confining himself to sports, Andy has been active on the Pingry Record as Associate Editor. Andy plans to enter Lehigh where We are sure he will be as successful as he was at Pingry. ff fffffQewJ??!iwYf'vf2ff!QQfff C ff f ff ,. , 'f -'J A jnzyvy XJ 5' 'I XA jf ff 'k ' -' fi, 'gg I 'Diff-'-Zemin'- 'I ff-af +,,.x wvw- 1, ai ll ff-A ffff' I I if ff' f ff aa will Mya few 'J C acetate- V ' y4 4'21 'f4Xc5EvcffjP-dfa-fffae JOSEPH ARTHUR!

After looking at the list of activities in which Red has participated, no one can say more. Red came in the Second Form and since then has been a most outstanding member of the class. 'Whenever there is a group of laughing fellows, Red is sure to be the center of attraction. His inexhaustible repertoire of jokes has been a con- stant source of enjoyment to the whole class. When he leaves Pingry, Red will be a definite loss to the school. But Pingry's loss will be Princetonls gain. We do not need to worry about Red. He is sure of success with his effervescent humor and friendliness. GEORGE WESLEY EASON November 3, 1931 48 DeForest Avenue, Summit, N. J.

This unusual quote would come from Wesley, our un- discovered Woman's man. Wes is famous for his many tall stories, but they afforded many lighter moments for the seniors. He has been very active in school life as his activities indicate, and in social life he is one of the class' avid party goers. Eas has planned his near future around either Hamilton or Wesleyan. With his Winning personality and determination he can not miss being a success. WILLIAM HOWARD GINDIN September 1, 1931 129 Water Street, Perth Amboy, N. J. Bill Yale Four Years At Pingry Camera Club, IV, Student Federalist, IV, V, Vice-President, V, International Relations Club, VI, Dramatic, V, VI, Record Board, IV, V, VI, Blue Book VI, Editor, VI. His aggressiveness and conscientiousness have made Bill an institution around Pingry. During his four year stay here he has been one of the most active members of the class, participating in clubs, journalism and many outside activities. As Editor, Bill has been working and planning for the BLUE BOOK since last September. The re- mainder of his spare time is devoted to his other pet interest, World Federalism. His spontaneous leadership, intellectual capacity, and ability to mix will accompany him to New Haven in the fall Where an even brighter future is in store for him. LYNN STANLEY GORDON January 29, 1932 344 Washington Avenue, Union, N. J. Swish Bucknell Four Years At Pingry Automobile Club, IV, Chess Club, IV, French Club, V, VI, Record Board, V, VI, Soccer Team, V, VI, Track Team, VI. Lynn is very unpretentious and sincere. You seldom hear him talking about himself, and when you do, he is usually humorously recounting some silly, unimportant thing. He has a frank and democratic manner, he can tell you what he thinks of you or anyone and arouse no ill feeling. Lynn is a hard worker and his successes are won only by long determined effort, yet he has com- piled a well-proportioned record in sports, studies and social activities which the most talented could emulate. He will continue to conquer goals, and then, with no ado, go on to new challenges with silent persistence. l949 Page twenty-three SENIURS Page twenty-four HAROLD THOMPSON HALL, JR. January 3, 1931 7 Chicago Blvd., Sea Girt, N. J. Bud, Bub Lafayette Two Years At Pingry Football, V, VI, Basketball, V, VI, Track, V, VI, Captain VI, Record, VI. Although he has been at Pingry but two years, Harold has established himself as one of its best athletes and most popular students. In the sports department, Bud is one of the few three letter- men in the class. Undoubtedly the crowning point of his athletic activities was when his fellow cindermen elected him as their captain. Socially Bub may be seen at many parties and dances, including his escapades down at the old Jersey shore. Bud will continue his education at Lafay- ette where he will undoubtedly reach the same enviable heights he did here at Pingry. WILLIAM FREDRIC HANZL July 5, 1929 4 Central Avenue, Cranford, N. J. Binx Nichols Three Years at Pingry Class Council, V, VI 5 Track, V, VI. Bill is probably the most easy-going fellow in the senior class. This characteristic has helped him to take many things philosophically. Binx has a fine sense of humor and is certainly the most obliging fellow in the class. Bill is known for his big appetite, but this is put to use when he demonstrates his strength as a shotputter on the track team. As a result of his popularity, he has been elected to the Class Council for the past two years. One of the fellows heading for Nichols, Binx has given an indication of a promising future by his past performances. RICHARD ALLEN HARTKOPF .luly 2, 1931 718 Midland Boulevard, Union, N. .l. Dick Cornell, Vermont Five Years At Pingry Football, V, VIQ Basketball, V, VI, Band, Vg Glee Club, IV, Record Board, V, VI, Spanish Club, VI. 1 One of the more quiet members of the class, Dick is very conscientious about his work. Even at recess, he can often be found studying in the library or some other place. His abilities are not, however, confined to the scholastic side of Pingry. He is well known for his pass-receiving on the football team, and his scoring record on the bas- ketball court. Dick is the brunt of many jokes, but he always shows the same swell sportsman- ship that characterizes him on the athletic field. With his conscientiousness and all around ability, he will undoubtedly make a name for himself in any field he chooses. T. KENNADY HESTON, JR. February 7, 1931 325 Prospect Avenue, Cranford, N. J.

Two Years at Pingry Football, V, VI, Captain, VI g Track, VI g Swim- ming, V, VI 5 Dance Committee, VI 5 Spanish Club, Vg Athletic Executive Committee, Vlg Record Board, VI, Business Manager, VI. Teke's congenial attitude and fine character have combined to make him one of the best liked fellows in school. Other than his athletic prowess and capable leadership, shown by his election to football captain after but one year at Pingry, Teke has applied himself diligently on the Record Board and Dance Committee. On a week- end Teke may be found on either end of Harry Hall,s Manesquan to South Orange date bureau. Whether Teke chooses Princeton or R.P.I. we are certain that with his fine record he will make a success in any career he chooses. 1949 Page twenty-five SENIUBS Page twenty-six WILLIAM HAMILTON HILLS March I7, 1930 2141 Linden Ave., Westfield, N. J. Bill, .I it Pennsylvania Five Years At Pingry Basketball, IV, V, VI, Captain. VI 5 Soccer, V, VI, Class Council, III, IV, VI, Dance Committee, VI, Ring Committee, V, Athletic Committee, VI, Spanish Club, V. Bill is one of Pingry's best liked students, six foot tall and every inch a grand fellow. Though unassuming and modest, J it impresses everyone with his sincere earnestness and high sense of fairness. Being a fine athlete, he has added much to Pingry's basketball and soccer teams, and still finds time for extensive committee and club work. His election to Class Council for three of his four years in the Upper School further proves his popularity. Bill will go far in whatever field of endeavor he chooses. A fine friend and jolly good fellow. What else could one ask? PETER BABCOCK JONES December 20, 1930 190 Oakridge Avenue, Summit, N. J. Pete Amherst Three Years At Pingry Class President, V, VI, Student Council, IV, V, VI, President, VI, Tennis, IV, V, VI, Captain, V, VI, Athletic Executive Committee, V, VI, President, VI , Dramatic Club, V, VI. During the three years Pete has been in Pingry, he has become one of the most popular and most respected boys here. Few ever approach the very enviable record which he has compiled. The com- bined facts that he was elected president of his class in the fifth and sixth forms and captain of the tennis team for the same two years proved the faith which his classmates had in his ability to lead. Peter's future plans center around Am- herst, and his days there and in later life will undoubtedly be bright and full of accomplish- ment. PETER JOHN MARSHALL KING January 23, 1931 15 Highland Avenue, Short Hills, N. J. Pete Dartmouth, Amherst Two Years At Pingry Football, VI, Tennis, V, VI, Manager, VI g Athletic Executive Committee, VI, Glee Club, V, VI. Although Pete's stay at Pingry has been a short one, it has been very successful. One of the better students scholastically, he has not confined him- self strictly to his studies. While it is evident by looking at his record that Pete likes more than one sport, his favorite is tennis. He was a member of last year's undefeated team and served in the capacity of player-manager for this yearls team. He and his brother are an impressive pair on any court. Whether Pete goes to Dartmouth or Am- herst, his varied interests and perserverance will always be his aids to success. LINDSAY RUSSELL LAIRD May 10, 1931 17 Morraine Place, Short Hills, N. J. Lin Q Princeton Five Years At Pingry Record Board, V, VI, French Club, V, VI, Secretary, VI g Tennis, V, VI. Entering the class in the Eighth Grade, Lin got a chance to become accustomed to Pingry before the class moved into the Upper School. Lin has always been one of the better-ranking students scholastically and, because of this, he hopes to enter Princeton. Following in his brother's foot- steps, Lin has become one of the sure winners on the tennis squad and was a member of last year's undefeated team. His genial attitude will undoubtedly win him additional friends to the scores he has here at Pingry when he leaves these fair halls this June. 1949 Page twenty-seven fa s . 1 A v' l ,sc . 1, 4' 1' u 1-fr SEN IDRS Page twenty-eight N.. y X JACK BARRY MAFFENBEIER July 26, 1931 265 Winans Ave., Hillside, N.

Not many people concerned with Pingry have ever heard of Jack. He is unassuming and quiet to the point of shyness, but underneath this surface there is warmth, friendliness, intellect, and knowledge. Maff is well liked by all thosc who know him. Throughout his career at Pingry, Jack has upheld a high standard of scholastic achievements, receiving Cum Laude in his junior year, and remaining in the top three in his class. The unsung hours ,l ack has put into the electrical end of our plays the past few years are uncount- able and essential to the success of the produc- tions. Great things are in store for J ack.

Randy ' Harvard Three Years At Pingry Soccer, VI, Navigation Club, IV, Vg Student Federalists, IV, Vg Rifle Club, Vg Glee Club, VI, Dramatic Club, VI. Randy is a gem of many facets. His accomplish- ments at Pingry run from Soccer to Glee Club. Randy has the capacity to direct his best efforts to whatever task at hand and successfully follows through. This year he added the Pingry play to his list of accomplishments. ln addition to his activities at school Randy will be remembered as that skiing enthusiast. His ability to work with people coupled with his drive will carry him far in life. When he gets to Harvard he shouldn't find any trouble in conquering new fields and winning new friends. WILLIAM TRAVERS MCCLENAGHAN April 23, 1931 66 West Emerson Avenue, Rahway, N. .l. Wild Bill, Mac Middlebury Three Years At Pingry Football, IV, V, VI , Track, V, VI, French Club, VI, Record Board, VI. Wild Bill is one of the best liked members of the class. He is well known for his adeptness in football where he played in every game at nearly sixty minutes per game. He was one of the best tackles Pingry has had, and he showed plenty of scrap and drive at all times. ln the springtime, track claims Bill's famous ability and it looks as if he will be one of the mainstays this year. Mac is a good worker and studies hard to keep up those marks. He is sure to make a hit and a big success in any field. JAMES RUSSEL MCHARG, II May 27, 1931 170 Virginia Street, Hillside, N. .l.

Jimmy's fame is centered around his little black Ford with the wether injector . He can usually be seen whizzing over to Vail Deane or out to Cranford. Jim is one of the hardest-working members of the Dramatic Club stage crew, and was consequently appointed head of the crew for this year's production. He is one of those fellows who never misses a party and the party is always better for his having been there. And who will forget that one he threw after the Christmas Dance? .lim's quiet friendliness will undoubtedly help him to achieve a high position in life. 1949 Page twenty-nine SENIURS Page thirty DANIEL DREWRY MCMULLEN October 16, 1931 44 Kenilworth Drive, Short Hills, N.

Since Dan came to Pingry four years ago, he has become one of her most respected and best loved sons. 1VIac's marks would lead one to believe that he is a book worm, but his prominence in extra-curricular activities dispel this belief. Mac had a little tough luck during football season, in that he broke his arm, but he bounced right back to earn a place on the basketball squad. Dan has selected Amherst as the college of his choice, and with his record and personality he should go far not only in college, but whatever career he eventually chooses. KARL BOWEN MOLLOY October 17, 1930 47 Crescent Place, Short Hills, N. J. M ollock Washington and Lee Five Years at Pingry Football, V, VI, Swimming, IV, V, Record Board, VI, Track, VI. Ever since Karl joined our class in the Eighth Grade he has continued on in his bruising manner and has come to be known as one of 'ithe boys . Mollock's greatest claim to glory is his ability on the gridiron, proven by the fact that he was given all-county honorable mention for the job he did as tackle on this year's football team. Karl works hard in his studies and hopes to enter Washington and Lee next Fall. But no matter where Karl ends up, his ability to mix, and his desire for security will be assets enough towards gaining success. wi ff p , I ,A,..f.ffadfM4 axwvffzff ll P We .

Bill, Willie Princeton One Year At Pingry Dramatic Club, VI, Rifle Club, V15 Upper School Glee Club, VI. When the class of 194-9 first came back to school last fall, it discovered a new face in its midst. Bill Moore rapidly made himself fand his red Fordj an integral part of the class. Almost before anyone could get to know Bill, he became an active member of the Dramatic Club and a bril- liant Thespian gracing the stage of the Vail Deane play. Red hopes that he will be fortunate enough to be one of the Pingry's gifts to Princeton, and Pingry knows that he will carry her name to a great future anywhere he goes. WARREN ALBERT RADCLIFF E May 28, 1931 254 Nottingham Way, Elizabeth, N. J. Rip University of Pennsylvania Six Years At Pingry Dramatic Club, VI, Soccer, VI, Baseball, VI. After a yearls absence Rip returned to Pingry to complete a six year stay in her halls. Few of our class will soon forget the lad with the 6'D.A. haircut and his get-away car. Seriously though, Ripis return proved to be highly successful as he ranked in the top section of his class. His hard work is in hope of being accepted at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. The immediate future is never too certain, but if Rip continues to set high goals and endeavors to achieve them through hard work, then his future promises to be a bright one. ,, 1949 Page thirty-one SENIURS Page thirty-two WILLIAM GILLESPIE REMINGTON February 15, 1931 35 North Avenue, Elizabeth, N. J. Bill Nichols Six Years At Pingry Navigation Club, III, IV, Camera Club, IV, Record Board, IV, Automobile Club, IV, Swim- ming, III, IV, V, VI, Football, V, VI. Bill has been in Pingry for quite a few years. His wolf whistle from his car seems to indicate that G'Willy is one of the class lovers of which there are many. On the athletic field, Bill was out for football for two years, but did not receive a letter. His big sport, however, is swimming. He has been a member of the team for four years and is still faithfully at it. Bill's long arms do much to help him and he is always in there fighting. His friendliness and spirit will help him in any field he enters. HARRY PAUL REYNOLDS .luly 8, 1932 Hydewood Park, Watchung, N. J. Paul Union College Four Years At Pingry World F ederalists, IV, V, International Rela- tions Club, VI, Automobile Club, III, IV, Span- ish Club, VI, Record Board, VI, Swimming, VI. ln Paul we find a very serious-minded indi- vidual who tends to challenge rather than accept. This is a contributing factor to his great im- pediment, that of making up his mind. He analyzes every situation in which he finds him- self involved, often allowing trivialities to hinder decision. Paul developed his analytical talent while the Automobile Club was still in action. Nevertheless, he has an extremely prolific and independent mind that is capable of great things. When Paul succeeds in overcoming his impedi- ment and in translating his thoughts into concrete action, he can't help but become a skyrocketing success.

Throughout his years at Pingry Red has always been happy-go-lucky, but serious when warranted. When assigned, or volunteering for a job, Red kept at it until his task was completed. No matter what difficulties have ever arisen, he has overcome them in his usual optimistic man- ner. Bobby-Jack has led an active career at Pingry both in sports and extra-curricular activi- ties, highlighted by his Mdunning for dues . He has proven himself to be one of the most con- siderate and friendly boys in the class of '49, Good luck Red See no treasure but happiness. -6? ' ' ' , .

With the advent of Rocky back in the sixth grade the Class of '49 found itself augmented by an exceedingly modest and sincere individual. Indicative of his character, he puts his mind and heart in everything he undertakes. Rocky is best known for his ardent interest in wrestling and fisticuffs. However, he shares his interest with one in a more serious vain. For the last two years he has been one of the most active members of the Student Federalists. The combination of his mental capacity and fine character is sure to make Rocky a success. SENIURS PAUL RICHARD SCANNELL August 27, 1931 1508 Highland Avenue, Hillside, N. J. Stevens One Year At Pingry Rod and Gun Club, VI, Soccer, VI, Track, VI. After having Paul in our class for only one year, we know that it is too bad that he had not joined us sooner. He fell into Pingryes system and spirit so quckly that his newness was noticed very little. He is one of the quieter members of our class who goes about his studies not being heard too much, but always felt. Paul has set his sights on an engineering career and hopes to enter Stevens. We, however, his classmates, are certain that his unassuming and easy-going man- ner will be his aids as he endeavors to climb the ladder of success. wwxmtz. su-f,.3g.K ww tWM.k.... .,M......L.'wt...vf. ww- Page thirty-four M41u,.,u..,Au.J4M QMMLL Maj N4k..Q.gxNQ,ec....J.u...Ls,.,r,l4,u :Y h M-31-If-4.11 QLD-x NJNSAINB ' Yw'M ww- Wwe-+f-821fw+q.xQ..so-gil gy JOHN RANDOLPH SEARAS April 29, 1931 40 Druid Hill Road, Summit, N.

When J ack came to Pingry in the seventh grade, Pingry received an excellent student and a swell fellow. There are not many boys who can equal .lack's mental acumen and desire for knowledge. Searlies does not limit his abilities to his own work. He is always willing to give help to those who need it. .lack takes in all advice with a cheery Mcheckv. Jack never lets studies get him down, but always keeps on plugging with a smile on his face anda will in his heart. What- ever .lack does in the future, he is sure to be a great success.

Bob is one of the oldest members of our class, and few have neared the success he has had during his stay at Pingry. His all-around ability in many fields and his abundance of personality have been his handy aids. Scholastically, he is near the top of the class, and was one of the three from our class to be elected to Cum Laude in his Fifth Form year. His brilliance cannot be overshadowed, but Bob likes to think that his ability in baseball is his biggest claim to fame. His versatility, however, promises a happy future for our boy Mitty. , -, ,I rf' as .X J I-5-JC '...nL ,. -V25 A. i kk- K. LJN-. 4. 4 ' - f tux? '-lXk 4 '- lf- gk'-1, I . K , Q xr!

In the seventh grade, Willy combed his hair straight back but his coiifure has developed into a high pompadour. In accompaniment, Smitty has perfected a hyenish laugh and a fantastic sneeze which constantly make the boys hilarious and the teachers speechless. For the past two years, Willis has played soccer and has been one of the figures responsible for Pingry's return as a soccer threat. Another claim to fame for this hard worker is the competent job he has done as BLUE BOOK Business Manager this year. Success should be in store for the Staten Islander. ,,:,,Z'ZHyA.,-5f7a,11T., A-31,,.,.f.4n-.J EW AMIA' M4412 SENIURS,.....

The fall is the busiest time of the year for him as he puts all his energy into the game of football where he has been one of the unsung heroes. His great fight and love of the game was one of the contributing factors towards the success of this year's team. His sense of humor and complete frank manner will be remembered by all who know him when he leaves Pingry to prepare himself for joining his father in business. - JOHN STRACHAN August 31, 1931 117 Philadelphia Blvd., Sea Girt, N.

Ever since his arrival he has been well liked and respected by his fellow classmates. ,lack's inter- ests are deep and varied. While he has shown great enthusiasm in his work for both the Spanish Club and the Record, his main interest has been centered in the Rifle Club for the last four years. Besides these activities ,lack was a member of the football squad and of the stage crew for the annual production. With his varied interests and ability to make friends ,lack should make a fine record at Annapolis. RICHARD CLAYTON STURMER December 10, 1930 4-25 Topping Hill Rd., Westfield, N. .l. Dick Undecided Two Years At Pingry Orchestra, V, VI. For two years Dick has been coming up to Pingry as a member of the Westfield contin- gent. He is one of those fellows who does not make his presence felt, but without whom the class of 1949 would feel a definite loss. Pinnoch, as he is sometimes called, has been responsible for a number of Senior Frolics. He drives Q? IJ a kiddie car which he insists is a Crosley. Dick has not made up his mind as to what college he wants to attend, but we are sure that he will make the same great mark there that he has made here.

On those pleasant mornings prior to chapel, those loiterers in front hear the customary roar of Stu's motorcycle. As it roars into view, some poor soul is invariably seen clinging for his life on the seat. Stu is one of the quieter members of the class, but no one can match him for his jokes which really ulay them in the aisles . But Stuls real claim to fame is through his column in the Record. When Stu leaves the portals of Pingry, he will go udown southw to Washington and Lee where we all hope he will be as much of a success as he has been here. t l949 Page thirty-seven SENIURS Page thirty-eight THOMAS TAYLOR TUCKER July 29, 1930 21 Waldron Avenue, Summit, N.

With his everpresent smile, Tom has been plugging away at his courses here at Pingry ever since the Seventh Grade. His hopes for the future lie in Military Science and V.lVI.l. While at Pingry, Tuck has established an enviable athletic record. He played soccer for three straight years, and captained it in his third. Tom was the second boy in his class to earn a varsity letter. He has been miler on the undefeated track teams of the past two years. With his endurance and perse- verance, we know that Tom will be able to meet fully the challenges of later life. HARRY EVERETT WALBURG February 6, 1932 50 Barnsdale Rd., Short Hills, N. J.

No more enviable record could be desired than that obtained by Harry in his four years at Pingry. Academically Harry ranks with the best in the class, athletically he is one of the stars of the swimming team, swimming the individual medley and breaststroke. Harry is noted for his choice interjections in Mr. de Gryse's French class and his party giving. His membership in many school organizations and his general atti- tude testify emphatically to Harry's school spirit. Harry is headed for Princeton, and with his record and personality he should be a big success there and in later life. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WARREN August 27, 1930 755 Murray Street, Elizabeth, N. J. Ben Undecided One Year At Pingry Football, VI. lt wasn't long after his arrival into our class this year that Ben established himself as a Teller of Tales and a sentimentalist. Ben doesn't take to books too well, and maybe it's just as well that he doesnit because in many little ways Ben showed that the interests of his fellowmen mat- tered a lot more than his own personal interests. And whether it's obtained from books, or it's inborn that feeling of compassion is needed in our world today. Therefore, no matter what Ben continues on to do he will always come to be liked and appreciated. JOHN ROBERT WEIGEL September 21, 1931 210 West Jersey Street, Elizabeth, N. J.

Ever since Jack entered Pingry in the sixth grade, he has steadily gained the respect of his classmates. A better-than-average student, he has always stood out on the literary side of school life. The climax of this was his appointment as Managing Editor of the Record and the sub- sequent splendid job he did. Nor is this his only interest, for he served as manager of this year's track squad and, thus, is on the Athletic Exe- cutive Committee. Jack's dry wit and friendly manner will be assets enough to carry him on after June third to wherever he may choose to go. 1949 Page thirty-nine SENIUBS Page forty RAYMOND HENRY WELSH October 24, 1931 5 Red Road, Chatham, N.

Success and Ray have become synonymous words around Pingry. His great interest in sports has been shown throughout his various activi- ties, and his proficiency, by the fact that he has played on three varsity teams for two years each. Ray, as a cheerleader, has typified his own school spirit, and has been very successful with the other cheerleaders in awakening spirit in others. He is also the, Circulation Manager of this year's BLUE BOOK. When Ray leaves Pingry, he will leave behind him many good friends who will never forget that talkative boy with the big smile and genuine friendly attitude toward his fellow students. RICHARD TILDEN WEST January 30, 1932 l087 Azalea Road, Union, N. J. Dick, Oeste Princeton Twelve Years At Pingry Spanish Club, , VI, Dramatic Club, V, VI, Record Board, IV, V, Associate Editor, VI. As one of the two remaining starters of the class of '49, Dick is almost regarded as a patriarch. Dick's cartoons have always been an outstanding feature in the Record. Dick has one other claim to fame. He is the only student who receives his report card signed. Not only that, but any trouble which he may have in school may be discussed between his father, advisor, and teacher in con- versation involving one person. When Dick en- ters the halls of Princeton, he will be out to establish himself as he did here and success should follow his footsteps.

As an all-around good fellow and an outstand- ing athlete, Red has established an enviable rec- ord in his eight years' stay at Pingry. Red has been a three letter man for the last two years, starring as a pitcher on the baseball team, guard on the basketball team, and halfback on the football team. Onthe field and in the classroom Red has always given his best. He will long be remem- bered at Pingry for his good humor and fine sportsmanship. We are certain that Bill's fine spirit and great drive will carry him on to the top at Dartmouth and in life. ROBERT NELSON CHAMBERLIN January 12, 1930 38 Walnut Avenue, Millburn, N. J.

Besides playing soccer during the last two falls, Bibs also has been very active in clubs and other outside activities. Bob and Bill Hills team to make as dashing a pair of Romeos as Pingry can offer. Bob hopes to attend the University of Virginia next fall, and what is Virginia's gain will be Pingryas loss. 1949 Page ,forty-one 1 P.Gfs Page forty-two RICHARD REYNOLDS GALLAGHER February 22, 1931 1322 Morris Avenue, Union, N.

With Dick's return to Pingry this year for a post-graduate course in order to prepare himself for Princeton, we retrieved a hard-working stu- dent and a great entertainer. There are often sarcastic remarks about this entertainment, but, in truth, Dick's magical skill is superb, and his jokes, though sometimes on the Mcornyw side, bring pretty hearty laughs. Sam is very systematic and punctilious and, with the fine record of hard work and achievement he has made this year, he should make Princeton and be a great success there and in business in later life. 1949 GORDON DOUGLAS WEED February 20, 1930 11 Fairview Avenue, Summit, N. .l. Doug Tufts, R.P.l., R.C.A. One Year At Pingry Cheer Leader, VI. Doug has adapted himself so well to Pingry's ideals, spirit, and routine that it would be diffi- cult for one to perceive that he has not been at Pingry for more than one year. Rarely is such school spirit shown so sincerely and quickly by a newcomer as that of Doug's. In all the rallies and athletic events he has been seen leading thc cheers with much vim and vigor. Doug hopes to become some sort of radio technician after college. Doug's wit and winning personality will continue to help him in achieving a successful career in later life. 'r Ag ,.1 W e gimw..

Page forty-six Council 111embers Willialn Mackey and Jeff Field, and Class Council members Gaddis Smith and Charles lVIcKenney. Frank Hirsch was appointed Chairman of the Ring Com- mittee. The Fifth Formers were quite active in extra-curricular activities. Some of the clubs in which members of the class of '50 have shown particular interest are the Navigation Club, the Rifle Club, the Rod and Gun Club, and the Foreign Relations Club. Many of the boys were active in the two school publica- tions, the Record and the BLUE BOOK. Be- sides this record the Fifth Form was repre- sented heavily on every athletic team and the Honor Roll. The class members also showed a great deal of school spirit, attending ath- letic events at home and away. Faculty Advisor Roy Shrewsbury and Headmaster E. Lawrence Springer held many conferences with the boys to determine which college would be most suitable for the individual student.

FORM IV With David Lemal as President and Wil- liam Burks as Vice-President, the Fourth Form has had a record which promises emincnt success as it continues on in the Upper School. Also elected as class ofiicers arc: Costan Berardinelli and Joseph Han- away, Student Council members, Dick Peters, Secretary-Treasurer, and Class Council mem- bers, John Coogan and Frank Eleder. The subjects offered to sophomores, which fit well into Pingry's college preparatory sys- tem, a1'e: English, Algebra, French, German, Spanish, Caesar, Modern History, Meehan- ical Drawing, Music Appreciation, and Bookkeeping. The Fourth Form is not confined to the scholastic side of school life though, for it has contributed many to Pingry's extra- curricular activities. Many of its boys have joined the numerous Upper School clubs, not only as members, but also as leaders. In the athletic department the class showed its ability and spirit when many of its members received letters. The sophomores, in addition to attending the school dances, enlivened their social activity by means of numerous outside dances and parties. Fourth Formers are repre- sented in many clubs.

Pingry offers varied subjects for the boys to choose from which include: Algebra, Eng- lish, Latin, General Science, and Early European history. Athletics, under the supervision of Mr. Williams and Mr. Bristol are a favorite with the Third Formers. They have class teams in football, basketball, baseball, swimming, track and tennis. The football team this year played Delbarton, Linden, Roselle Park, and Montclair Academy. They had a good season and only lost one game. The boys also belong to some clubs which include: the Rifle Club, the Coin Club, and the Camera Club. The Third Formers had a very prosperous year during 749, and we'll be looking forward to seeing them all begin their second year in the Upper School.

MIDDLE SCHOOL Probably one of the most important and interesting parts of Pingry is the Middle School. It consists of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grades, the latter two being the First and Second Forms. It has a faculty of seven men. Mr. Vars, head of the Middle School, teaches Spelling in both forms and Arith- metic in the Sixth Grade. Mr. Atwater teaches Spelling and English in the Sixth Grade and Arithmetic in the First Form. Mr. Baldwin teaches English in both forms. Mr. Bristol teaches Reading in the Sixth Grade, and Arithmetic in the Second Form. Second Form History is taught by Mr. Hahn. Mr. Booth teaches Exploratory Language in the First Form and Beginners' Latin in the Second Form. Mr. Booth also teaches Second Form English due to the size of the class. The President of the Student Government this year is William R. Buchanan, IH. Aid- ing him as Vice-President is James E. Haas, Jr. The Secretary-Treasurer is Allen R. Graessle. First Form officers are as follows: President, E. William Endter, Jr., Vice- President, Donald W. Carringer, and Secre- tary-Treasurer, Arthur A. Lewis. In the Sixth Grade the President is Stephen K. Urner, Jr., Paul F. Kirk is Vice-President, and Frank J. Shea, Jr., is Secretary-Treasurer. Athletics play a very important role in the Middle School. In the fall, football, soccer, and tennis are the sports. The football players have the entire main Held to them- selves and the soccer players use the Irving- ton Ave. site. In the winter there are basket- ball, wrestling, and swimming teams. Basket- ball is coached by Mr. Williams, Mr. Les and Mr. Bristol. Mr. Peters coaches wrestling. Springtime brings baseball, tennis, and track teams. Page forty-nine Middle School Study Hall under the direction of Mr. Vars. Mr. Booth must have the month's marks. MIDDLE SCHUUL ACTIVITIES g Extra-curricular activities play a large part in the outside education and sociability of the boys in the Middle School. One of the most popular clubs in the Mid- dle School is the Glee Club. This organization boasts twenty-two members who meet once a week. They sing all kinds of music: Negro spirituals, popular songs, college songs, etc. This club is under the direction of Mr. Bald- win. The Glee Club gives performances in chapel at various intervals, and a certain few join voices with some of the Upper School boys to sing hymns in Wednesday morning chapel. They have had a most successful year in their activities. Another favorite club in the Middle School is the Stamp Club. ln its ranks are twenty- three boys who meet once a week to discuss stamps. At almost every meeting one of the members gives an informal talk on the stamps in which he is most interested. The club holds an auction once a month. Mr. Knoke, who Page fifty is a connoisseur of stamps, directs the meet- ings. The officers of this club are as follows: President, Richard Steinbrennerg Treasurer, Amos Hostetterg Vice-President, Winthrop Hall, and Secretary, Franklin Bunn. An im- portant part of the Stamp Club is its annual exhibit which is held in the library. Every boy in the club enters one frame of stamps. This yearis exhibit was held in January and created a good deal of interest among the boys. Four prizes were awarded with numer- ous honorable mentions. The Coin Club, although it consists of only nine members, is very active. This club is also under the direction of Mr. Knoke. The meet- ings are run similar to those of the Stamp Club. The Coin Club also has an annual ex- hibit in the library. The officers of the Coin Club are: President, Bernard Ackerman, Secretary, Donald Carringerg Treasurer, Peter Horowitz. Crafts, under Mr. Shawcross, have become increasingly popular. First Row: Stanger, Yospin, Bryan, Ashbuugh, Marshall, Reynolds.

LOWER SCHOOL The faculty of the Lower School is mighty proud of the preparation for later life that they give their hoys. But even Mrs. Wasasier, the head of the School, was somewhat flah- hergasted when a mournful-looking second grader walked up to her one day and sadly announced that he was very sorry hut he was simply going to have to leave school. Somewhat puzzled, Mrs. Wasasier inquired the reason for this sudden step. MI don't wanna leavefi the youngster blurted out, Mhut last night my daddy said I was going to go to Harvard? Lower School graduates may not quite he ready for college but they are certainly well prepared to start work in the Middle and Upper Schools. And for accomplishing this task so well, and it is after all the primary Page fifty-two one of the Lower School, Mrs. Wasasicr and her associates deserve a great deal of credit. Headquarters of the Lower School is a roomy-manse on Westminster Avenue. Classes are held in rooms which are very similar to most first graders' homes. Thus the transi- tion from home to school is made simple and painless, for each new boy finds out that school isn't so different from l1on1e after all. Mrs. Wasasier teaches the first grade, while Mrs. Clayton, Mrs. Clifford, Mrs. Dicholt, and Mrs. Vars have charge of' grades two, three, four and five respectively. Mrs. Seaton, the librarian, also acts as substitute teacher, and, according to Mrs. Wasasier, as my right armf' Miss Willis is in charge of the music program in the Lower School, while Mrs. Clayton also gives the boys training in art. Two Fifth Graders get an opportunity to lead chapel. Although Lower Schoolers spend most of their time away from the rest of the school, they do participate in certain school func- tions such as football rallies. Their voices may be weak, but they make up in enthusi- asm whatever they cannot contribute in volume. HI never saw any group so thrilled or excitedf, Mrs. Wasasier exclaimed after the first grade's first rally. It is probably coincidence that the distaff side of the Vars family put the finishing touches on Lower Schoolers before they enter the Middle School regime of the male Vars. The Lower School has a daily chapel, too. lt certainly is no coincidence, however, that these boys are so well prepared for work in Pingryis Parker Road branch. Every student gets a thorough grounding in reading, mathe- matics, social sciences, and other essential subjects. But education has progressed a long way from the time when school meant the three nfs and nothing else. Boys gain self-reliance, originality, and confidence by participating in the many special chapel programs given in the Lower School. Parents are often in- vited to these presentations, and this gives each boy still more incentive to excel. '6Good Morning, Mrs. WllS2lSiCl'l,, Religious training begins in the first grade in such simple observances as saying grace before mid-morning milk and crackers. At- tempts are made to enhance each boy's edu- cation aesthetically with training in art and music. Good sportsmanship and fair play are emphasized in the daily athletic program which Mr. Williams supervises. And prob- ably most important, the boys begin to learn tl1e responsibilities of good citizenship and intelligent administration of and participa- tion in government by work on the Student Council. The Council, besides assisting in the general administration of the Lower School, appoints special committees which are held Page fifty-three responsible for good conditions in the cloak room, library, dining room, and other school facilities used by the boys. Sincere generosity is a character feature that the Lower School faculty has tried to instill in every boy. The boys have volun- tarily contributed towards purchases of CARE packages to be sent overseas. ln addi- tion, the whole school pitched in under Mrs. Wasasier's leadership and sent both Christ- mas presents and funds for a Christmas party to the Egenolf Day Nursery. This was the first time in Lower School history that both presents and a party were given. Thus, boys are prepared not merely for leadership in the fifth grade, Middle School, or Pingry, but throughout their entire life. Page fifty-four Lower School boys choos- ing sides for a soccer game. It is an ambitious program which the Lower School attempts, and there is no better testi- mony to its success than the statements of gratitude and praise which returning grad- uates always shower upon the Lower School. The highlight of the year both in point of view of time and importance is the final Commencement Exercises in which every Lower Schooler takes part. And it is certainly a solemn moment too, when the fifth graders receive their first introduction to Mr. Vars, who will soon represent the guiding force of their Middle School life. It is a moment which the boys in the lower four grades look forward to eagerly, and it is one which Lower School graduates look back to fondly, in mute appreciation of the influence the Lower School has had upon them. ns L 'N RY 90400 4 ff' 4 il I UH ' j I lil get wife M1 51,1 ATHLETICS Pa First Row: King, P., Siegel, Mr. Les, Mr. Williams, Mr. Hathaway, Mr. Methfessel, Corbet, Tucker.

The committee is made up of the captains, man- agers, and coaches of the varsity football, basketball, swimming, soccer, track, tennis, and baseball teams. The chief purpose of the committee is the awarding of the varsity letters on a fair, im- partial basis. At the end of each team's season the committee members hold a meeting in which they go over a list, submitted by the coach of the team in question, of those boys who in the coach's opinion deserve letters. However, every boy on the squad is given careful consideration, and often the com- mittee awards a letter to a boy not on the coach's list, but nevertheless in the opinion of the majority deserving of a letter. The Athletic Executive Committee also has charge of regulating Pingry's athletic policy with other schools. It is up to the committee to see that competitive relations with other schools remain on the friendly, sportsman- Iike basis that is typical of Pingry. ln Pingry, athletics are for the boys, so it is only in keeping witI1 tradition that two- Mr. Williams in his oliice. Page fifty-six thirds of the committee that controls many phases of Pingry's athletic activities should consist of the boys who manage and captain the various teams. This year as always, the committee has done a magnificent job toward making Ping1'y's athletic program a great success. H-iff--sw f SPURTSNU-KN SHIP Perhaps one of the most liked and re- spected personalities on the school and col- lege campus of today is the athlete. For it is he to whom the younger boys and future stars look, as an example not only of physical prowess, but also as the essence of sports- manship. The high standards of living and behavior necessary to keep an athlete in trim condition make him, as well, a model of good character to the younger boys. Thus it is a great misfortune when a player displays poor sportsmanship to his teammates and to the spectators. But sportsmanship is not limited by any means to the athletic field. All through a young man's education, and indeed his whole life, he will have to meet defeat, grief, and disappointments. He must he able to accept these trials and push still harder toward his goal. Thus it is of the utmost importance that the young man of today leaves his pre- paratory school with a full appreciation and realization of the rcal meaning of the word usportsmanshipf' Broadcasting one of the home games.

FOOTBALL The '48 football team did not set any records during its season of eight games, but no one can deny that the team was one of the most spirited ever assembled on Pingry,s gridiron. Though the '48 gridders established a record of five wins and three losses, all their victories were decidedly decisive. The 'aBig Blue rolled up 179 points to the opponents' 65.

Without the unsung efforts of the managers, the team could not get along, and during the '48 season Ken Barton, as- sisted by Winslow Corson ably filled in that position. The season opened very successfully with the squad avenging its defeats of the year before when they defeated Good Counsel 32-0 and Trinity 34-6. The thumping victory over Trinity was highlighted by the attend- ance of many alumni who were favorably impressed with the outcome of the game. The traditional game with Morristown was a 13-8 disappointment, but the team played one of its best games of the season and gave all it had in going down to defeat at the hands of a very good Academy eleven.

SOCCER Soccer is one of the up and coming sports of the country today.

The team Worked very hard from the beginning day, preparing for their first game with Edison High School. Edison was not far from the state championship and was a tough team. It was a hard fought game all the Way. At the half the score was 2-0 in favor of Edison. In the second half the team seemed to lose its greenness and put on a driving attack in which Al Fyfe scored on a pass from center Duane St. John to make the score 2-1 Edison. Again on a pass from St. John, Ted Law scored with a low corner shot. The score stood 2-2 with but a few minutes to play. The HBig Blue booters put on every bit of power they could, but not enough to keep the powerful Edison team from scoring again in the last minute. The first game of the season put a new word into the sports vocabulary around the halls of Pingry. Scrussle is a combination of scramble and hustle which the team certainly showed. Not unlike Navy, Pingry had a rough schedule to fill especially for a green team. The next task for the hooters was to navi- gate the Hudson to Horace Mann in New York City, where we lost by a score of 1-0. Of course, this wasn't affected by St. .lohn knocking the referee silly by hitting him square on the head with a practice shot before the game got under way. The booters went on to play Peddie, which proved a little tough on them by taking the game 3-0. Yet there was always that one factor pres- ent, scrussle . Never once did the booters ever let up. As far as they were concerned the game wasn't over until the last whistle was blown. Page sixty-two That opposition won't last long. There was never a prouder bunch of boys than the booters on the Monday following the Columbia Grammar game in which the boot- ers outbooted the New York boys to the tune of 4-0. The game was played on the main field where most of the school saw it. From the beginning whistle to the last the booters really brought out the quality of the Pingry defense which was well shown by Bob Gaines, Randy Major, Lynn Gordon, Willis Smith, and Tom Tucker. Scoring was made by Fyfe 2, Law and Tucker. The boys went through the season not as successfully as they had hoped they would, but many of the losses were by one point near the end of the games. Scoring for the season was as follows: Fyfe, 3g St. John, 23 Law, 25 and Captain Tucker, 1. To give credit where credit is due the booters give their thanks to Mr. Hathaway, their coach, and Captain Tucker for not a winning team, but a successful team. Also, good luck to next year's captain, Jeff Field. Smith and Breckenridge disagree on the direction. First Row: Hartkopf, Chamberlain, Hills, Alley, Barton, Hall. Second Row: Mackey, McMullen, Arnold, Pattison, P., Blahut, Mr. Les. BASKETBALL The Pingry basketball team had the pros- pects of one of the best of Mr. Lesneski's teams. Five lettermen, uBed Alley, Bob Chamberlain, Dick Hartkopf, Ken Barton, and Captain Bill Hills, were returning and '4Bud Hall, Bay Welsh, Dan McMullen, Bob Blayhut were all strong candidates for start- ing berths. ln the first few serimmages the team looked unimpressive and in a scrimmage against Boselle Park, Captain Hills injured his knee, both bad signs of what was to come. Despite these two omens and injury of Mr. Les, the Parker Boaders triumphed in the season's opener, 55-28, against Montclair. Ken Barton had 17 points to lead the scorers. ln the second contest, Pingry won over Ora- tory, 74-37, with Bob Chamberlain scoring 19 points and Dick Hartkopf scoring 18. In the next game and most exciting so far, the Pingrians traveled to Manhattan Island and found a tough opponent in Trinity. The Blue suffered its first defeat by a score of 58-48, Alley awaits a chance. Pete Pattison puts one up. Barton fights hard Alley puts one ln but Hubbel and Moro of Trinity moved them to 36-22 at half-time. Despite a last half rally, Trinity won. Hartkopf had 16 points for Pingry and Moro 18 for Trinity. Back again to good old Jersey the Big Blue jumped to an early lead and went on to trim Englewood BASKETBALL SCHEDULE P. 0.

'aliedi' Alley was high man with 19 points. lf the Blue had not trav- eled to New York it would be undefeated so far, for the only losses have been interstate contests. The second loss handed to the Pingrians was handed down by Horace Mann, 50-25, worst defeat so far. Bob Ader of Horace Mann was high scorer with 13 points. After midyears the team started the second half of the season against Montclair and Oratory, the same foes the season had been started against. The Pingrians won both, 60-54 and 68-43, respectively. Dick Hartkopf had a total of 35 points in these games. Captain Bill Hills returned to the lineup against Oratory and scored eight points. The team at the time of writing had two tought games with Morristown and one with Unionloom- ing up soon. If the team can keep up its 54 points a game average it should do well in these games. Other games with Englewood, Delbarton, and the Alumni as well as the Union County Tournament were scheduled. No matter what the record of the team is, it will always be remembered as one of the scrappiest and best all around teams in Pingry history. Bud Hall fights to hold one against Montclair.

SWIMMING Some think that the 194-9 swimming squad has done a poor job this year since we won only two out of eight of the ten scheduled meets. However, figures do not always tell the whole story. With only two lettermen returning from last yearis record-breaking team, it has been a difiicult task to develop any kind of a team. If you will consider the improvement which the individual members of the team have made, you will get a dif- ferent estimation of the team than if you think only about its wins and losses. Each member of the team under the able guidance of lVIr. Peters, advanced himself to a remark- able degree, and Coach Peters discovered and developed much talent. This team lacking ability and experience nevertheless, com- peted with traditional Pingry fighting spirit and sportsmanship. Two constructive changes were made in the meets this year. Firstly, an entirely new event, the 120 yard individual medley, was introduced consisting of two twenty-yard laps of each of three strokes: freestyle, back- stroke, and breaststroke. Secondly, the 220 yard freestyle race was shortened to 200 yards so that it would be a standard distance in all pools. Formerly the 220 was likely to be shortened in twenty-five yard pools. Corbet takes an early lead i11 the breaststroke. Page sixty-fwe Manager Joe Arace announces another Pingry victory. The season started rather discouragingly with the meet against Newark Academy. The crewmen battled hard holding Newark in the individuals events. However, our opponent proved to have stronger relay teams and won both relays to establish a 40'-26 win. This meet showed up quite poorly on the score board, but in reality it was a close meet. On the following Monday the mermen had another had setback against Westfield. The team just seemed to have a bad day-one of those things for which there is no explana- tion. The natators again lost the 220 freestyle relay to end up with another 40'-26 loss. The Peddie meet was the teamis best, despite losing 37-29. The team was at its best and fought hard, but Peddie was too strong, lead- ing all the way. The Pingry club made a splendid comeback, however, by winning the 220 relay for the first time in the season, and thereby evening up the score a bit. Taking a respite from exams, on the twenty-Hfth the swimmers easily won over the newly formed Delbarton club which was just started this year and has had little experience. They took only one second place, the rest being third or fourth places. We put in our second team and as both teams showed swell spirit it was still a worthwhile meet. Furthermore it gave some of the substitutes a chance to gather some points. Page sixty-six February opened well for the mermen with a win over Morristown High School, 38-28. The Pingry tankmen were ahead by a good margin at the start of the two relays, so two scrub teams were put in. Both lost, thereby narrowing the margin. Our next meet was against Horace Mann in their pool. We made a laudable effort but were overrun by a very powerful opponent. On the l9th, the team sauntered down to Lawrenceville to en- gage in the best meet of the season against their J.V. team. Our rival compiled an ever increasing edge on our natators, but in a per- fectly even and exciting 220 relay Pingry's John Wallace pulled ahead at the very end to win the race by a few inches. This brought the score to 34-32 to end a hard fought at- tempt against excellent opponents. On Feb- ruary 25, the mermen again battled against Westheld with exactly the same results as the first meet with this opponent. At the time of writing, meets with Irvington and Newark remain. Mr. Peters and the team deserve a lot of credit even though this yearis was not a win- ning team. The coach has developed a lot of talent in the lower grades, and with all but a few of this yearis lettermen returning, next year's should be a fine squad. Swell form-must be a Pingry man. First Row: Mr. Williams, Rogers, Carragher, Siegel, Mackey, Hnat, Welsh, B. Second Row: Burke, Landis, Smith, P., Hills, Bugliari, Gaines, Burks, Dreeson, Bristol. BASEBALL The Pingry baseball fans will see the return of a veteran infield for the '49 team, with the possible exception of first base which was guarded last year by Dick Hnat. Coach Reese Williams may very well use Hnat in a pitcher-outfield role, and all indi- cations promise a good season. At the keystone sack snappy J oe Carragher will perform his flashy fielding feats once more. The little chatterbox will again have as a partner silent Bill Mackey at short-stop. Mackey is a hard-working, dependable player. Bounding out the infield at the uhot corner will be 'gfat boy Bob Siegel who will also captain the l949 Big Blue nine. Siegells heavy bat will be an important factor for a successful season. Returning in the role of leading mounds- man will be Red Alley, who for the previ- ous two years has been Pingry's hurling star. Alley is also a good, dependable hitter, an able Hy-chaser, and a proficient infielder. Next in line on the flinger roster will be Ray Welsh, who showed with a bit of promise during the 1948 campaign. Bob Gaines and Bill Burks will probably round out the stalf falong with Hnatj as firemen. The 1949 outiield will most likely be made up of newcomers with the exception of lean, Bugliari scores for Pingry. Page sixty-se van APRIL 12 Regional H. S .......,..... ..,,,..

Ron Dressen will be up from J. V. ball as an outfielder or possible first base replacement. At the time of writing, the re- maining outfielder is still unknown, but Alley or Hnat can handle the job if such action becomes necessary. The biggest problem for Coach Williams lies in the catching post. Ted Alley's able receiving will be sorely missed. Park Smith and Judge Landis seem to be the only heirs to this position, unless Jim Whiting proves to be as good as he appeared in pre-season Captain Bob Siegel ready to take a mighty swat. practices. Although Smith caught a great deal in practice, he saw no official action. Landis wielded a powerful bat on the J. V. squad last season. The 1949 baseball schedule lists games with thirteen teams, most of which have been on the schedule for the past few years, and others possibly with Oratory. With some of the power-hitting gone, with the mound staff reduced, and with the schedule stiffened, the Pingry ball club will have to hustle and bear down constantly to improve last year's 7-3 record.

Other outstanding members of the team were John Clarke in the 440, broad jump and high jump, and John Churchill in the quar- ter-mile. Bob Horning, throwing tl1e discus and shot, George Coughlin in the same event, and Bob Horton in the pole vault and high jump took care of the field events. Page sixty-nine Coach Les Don Jomo, team captain, won all his dual meet half-miles. Forced off the track by a foul in the Hackley lnvitation, he received one point for a fourth-place finish, a point that meant the difference between victory and defeat. Enough for the past-now let's look ahead. Prospects for tl1e 1949 season are not so bright as in the past, the six lettermen lost through graduation scored 184 of last year's 318 points. Their loss will cause a lack of depth in the running events and a woeful weakness in the field. As you read this, the boys may be working on a brand new winning streak. Carrying the load this year will be major lettermen Captain Harold Hall, Winslow Corson, and Thomas Tucker. A few minor lettermen are back, and it's entirely possible that several fellows who didn't achieve much last year will blossom out as winners. Hall is expected to win everything in sight in the sprints, with Roy Cowell, sophomore minor letterman, and James lVlcHarg to pro- vide some additional points in those events. The 440 is wide open, but Harold Snyder, who won a minor letter for l1is work in that event last year, may surprise with his running -while he scored only three markers in 1948, Hal would have made at least twenty points more if Clarke and Churchill hadn't been around. The 880 seems to be in fairly good shape, with Corson and minor letterman Reed Arnold to provide a 1-2 punch. Old reliable Tom Tucker will he in his third year as the Big Blue's miler, and in all probability will continue his first-place habit. The field events are wide open, witl1 the exception of the broad jump, which will feature Hall and Cowellg and the pole vault which will have Robert of the high-leaping Welshes, who last year showed some promise in that taxing event. Win or lose, though, you can expect the Pingry spikesters to put on a good show, and to fight to the last against any odds in 1949. Captfnn Hall finishes in Hrst place. Cowell makes a long one.

TENNIS Despite the loss of its number one and two players by graduation, the '49 tennis team is looking forward to an even better record than the one set by last year's team.

Pingry was the forty-sixth chapter to join this organ- ization since it was founded at the Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland, in 1906. Through these forty-three years the society has grown until today it contains well over a hundred chapters throughout the country. The purpose of the society, which is similar to Phi Beta Kappa in college, is to encourage The Seniors elected at the end of their Junior year have several privileges not af- forded most Seniors. First of all, they are free to study during all their study periods anywhere in the school. They participate in Society meetings, help elect new oflicers, and take part in the selection of new members. The student member of Cum Laude has the privilege of dropping any subject in the middle of April and offering an original Maffenheier, Searles, Siegel. and reward high scholastic achievement in secondary schools. In order to qualify for admittance to Cum Laude, at the end of his Junior year, a student must have attended Pingry during his Soph- omore and Junior years while maintaining an average of eighty or better. He must also be in the top tenth of his Junior class scholas- tically. The Seniors elected must have at- tended Pingry during their last two upper- class years, must have attained an average of eighty or better and must he in the top Hfth of their class. A11 candidates are admitted to the society on commencement night in a ceremony which is an inherent part of the graduation exercises. Page seventy-four thesis or subject instead. Writing such a thesis gives him valuable experience in the techniques of research. Lastly, the Cum Laude boys participate in the awarding of Honor Roll pins. The enjoyment of these privileges should serve as a goal for under- classmen to work for and thus carry out the society's aim of high scholarship. The faculty members include: Messrs. Theodore L. Mayhew, President, Herbert F. Hahn, Secretary, EQ Laurence Springer, Atherton Bristol, David B. Buifum, George E. Dimock, Casmir A. France, Abel de Gryse, Otho L. Vars, Francis W. West, and Leander Kirk. The Seniors elected last May are J ack Maifenbeier, Robert Siegel and John Searles. BLUE BUUK We hope that you do not refer to the BLUE BOOK as an 'aannual . This book is not as inanimate as the word Mannualw implies- it is not a mere list of students, faculty, clubs, etc. We can safely say that every edition of the BLUE BOOK to date has had one specific end in view: to capture school spirit. MSchool spirit is an inclusive term which suggests all the friendship, fun and esprit de' corps that generates spontaneously in a group of fellows. This school spirit is an intangible thing and should not be debased by crude attempts to represent it through the more concrete mediums of photographs and text. We ask you, therefore, to try to see behind the pictures, to read between the lines. lf you read this book in a constructive state of mind, we feel certain that you will come to know Pingry a little better. Heading our staff was William Gindin as Editor-in-Chief, who surrendered much of his time to the general organization of the book, his willing assistant was Bob Rogers, Managing Editor. Mr. A. W. Booth was the faculty advisor, and our staff is forever grate- ful to him for his great assistance. Another member of the staff was Willis Smith, the Business Manager. Willis' job was to sell the advertisements. The Photographic Editor was Jack Maffenbeier, who took many of the informal photographs in the book. And what could we have done without Ray Welsh, the Circulation Manager? This BLUE BOOK would not be a reality if Pingry did not have its inherent spirit of co-operation.

Our paper is a bi-weekly pub- lication, coming out fifteen times annually. Chief credit for the success of the admin- istrative end of the paper must be given to its very capable Editor, Kenneth Barton. Aiding Barton have been John Weigel as Managing Editor and the three Associate Editors, Joseph Carragher, Andrew Camp- bell, and Richard West. The circulation and business department have been ably headed by Joseph Bugliari and Teke Heston, 1'e- speetively. But one would fail to get an accurate picture of the Record without knowing how the paper is put together. Things start rolling on Saturday following the previous issue when Editor Barton makes a dummy of the next issue. Monday morning sees the articles assigned to the staff writers, these writers usually have a deadline to meet the following Monday. That afternoon is devoted to the tedious job of proofreading. This completed, the next step comes with the return of proofs of the articles from the printer Wednesday afternoon. They are read, fitted on the vari- ous pages, and then headlined. The issue is checked over once again Friday morning and that afternoon is distributed to the students. First Row: Welsll. B., Heston, T..

The advanced section under the able leadership of Mr. Springer studied celestial navigation and the more complicated phases of navigation such as taking a bearing. The elementary group, directed by lVIr. Shaweross, studied such things as the rules of the road and chart reading. The combined group made several trips including a journey to the HlVlotor Boat Showw. The boys showed a great deal of interest and all agree that the season has been very successful. INTERNATIONAL IIELATIUNS CLUB The International Relations Club, a revived organization, is again active in the discussions of current events. The club was laid aside for two years while the World Federalists held the spotlight. But now that the Relations Club is a reality again, it looks as if it's going to stay because it is backed by a large group of world-interested boys. The purpose of the club is to bring o11t the many problems faced by the peacemakers. Mr. Buffum, the supervisor, fills in many important facts and helps appease the many heated debates which arise.

DHAMATIU CLUB Until the time that the Dramatic Club was ready to give its annual production, its mem- bers busied themselves in their earlier meet- ings by going over plays, and various aspects of theatrical productions. Mr. France is not only the faculty advisor of this club, but also the director of each year's production. This year he chose a comedy, uHeaven Can Wait , by Harry Segal. nHeaven Can Waiti' is a story of a boxer, Joe Pendleton, played by Bob Rogers, whose soul was taken prematurely from his body hy a messenger from heaven, Dick Roths- child. It is discovered that Joe has iifty years to live yet, and due to the fact that his man- ager, Max Levene, played by Roger King, has g'Heaven Can Wailii in the early stages of rehearsal. cremated .loe's body it is impossible for him to re-enter it.

Love has its way when Joe, now as HK.O.', Murdock, is rediscovered by Bette. Sarah Larson played the part of the speculator's wife. In reciprocation for feminine support in our play from Vail-Deane, Pingry supplied Bill Moore and Ted Law for the male leads in their production of HStage Door by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman.

DANCE COMMITTEE The forunate individuals who think a dance merely poses the problems of getting a date, a ride, a corsage, having a good time, and finding a convenient place to eat after the dance are far more fortunate than they imagine. The members of the Dance Com- mittee, Chairman Joseph Arace, Harold Sny- der, Andrew Campbell, Joseph Carragher, William Hills, Robert Rogers, and Teke Heston, not only face these problems, but also a myriad of others. A The perplexing problem of obtaining a top-notch dance band was delegated to Andy Campbell. Andy did a swell job amid high prices and unions. Hal Snyder with the aid of his ujeepmobilew and financial resources was in charge of decorations. He had to esti- mate and purchase the decorations and rc- freshments decided on by the committee. Not enough credit can be given to the financial wizardy of HJ. P. Morgan Rogers. It was the capable manipulation of funds by Bob that First Row: Campbell, Mr. France, Snyder. Second Row: Hills, Heston, T., Rogers. enabled the committee to have a successful financial year. Teke Heston, Bill Hills and i'Red Carraghcr were the strong arm men, while Joe Arace acted as foreman. The uunsung hero of this year's Dance Committee was the faculty advisor, Mr. France. lt was he who presided at our meet- ings, and through his untiring efforts we were able to initiate many new ideas that helped make our dances more successful.

Since last year the number of participants has doubled. At each meeting one of the members spoke on any phase of hunting or fishing that he knew best. In addition to an exhibit in the library, the club presented to it books on hunting and fishing and subscriptions to three sports magazines. Other activities included visiting the uSportsman Show , and Watching a field trial. RIFLE CLUB One of the oldest and most popular of the students clubs is the Rifle Club, which has been headed in the past few years by Mr. Dimock. The club was fortunate enough to have been able to secure the Elizabeth National Guard Armory range, which is one of the most modern and safest ranges in this area, on Tuesdays and Thursday of each week. The Rifle Club is open to all the Middle and Upper Schoolers. Those Who join find at the end of the year that they have become thoroughly familiar with firearms.

Page eighty FREN UH CLUB The French Club met once each week this past year for the purpose of improving the oral French of its members. Mr. Mayhew, who originated the club several years ago, is the present director. The group reads many short plays and then attempts to act them out informally. Each member, from time to time, would make up a short story to relate to the club. ln addition to practicing their use of the language, the club sponsored several French movies to which all students of French at Pingry were invited. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club is now two years old. It was created by M1 Theodore L Mayhew and has been fostered by Robert Chamberlin, President, and Richard Gallagher, Secretary, since its birth. The purpose of this club is to give the students more practice in both oral comprehension and verbal expression in an informal atmosphere without the austerity of classroom marks. The club greatly augments the member s command of the language by giving them contact with the practical side of the lanffuaoe, which is conversing with others, besides the theoretical bookwork First Row: Barton, McHarg, Mr. Mayhew, Chamberlin, Cal- lagher, St. John.

STAMP CLUB The Upper School Stamp Club which was started last year in Pingry upon the request of several Upper School boys is ably conducted this year by Mr. Hahn. The club conducts discussions about stamps with such things as their origin, their historical background, and their markings. The boys usually bring in their collections to show to the other fellows or to trade with others for stamps they lack. GUIN CLUB The Pingry School Coin Club is a small, but active group of boys who meet once a Week to discuss coins. The club takes frequent trips to New York to buy and see other coins, and once a year has an exhibit in the Pingry Library. This club is guided by Mr. Knoke, tl1e faculty advisor. The officers are: Bruce Baekey, Presidentg J ack Noe, Secretary, and J ay Harbeck, Treasurer. First Row: Noe, Baekey, Harbeck, Draper. Second Row: Ward, E., McMeeken, Mr. Knoke, Koven, Ely, Hewson.

Because of this, a great interest has been taken in group singing. The Upper School Glec Club, under the direction of Mr. Baldwin, combines singing and fun. Barber shop music is used extensively for this purpose. This year members of the Middle and Upper School combined their voices to add greatly to the Wednesday morning chapel programs. Also each year at Christmas, boys from the entire student body form a choir led by Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Shrewsbury which makes the Christmas service really beautiful. CAMERA CLUB This year the Camera Club again appeared on the list of Pingry clubs after an absence of two years. At the beginning of the year the members chose Frank Eleder as President and Stephen Lewis as Secretary-Treasurer. The main purpose of the club was to discuss new cameras, show photographs that the members are proud of, and study photographic techniques. The club plans to hold a contest this Spring which should be very interesting. Thanks to the assistance of Mr. Dimoek, the Camera Club has had a very successful year.

CHAPEL Last spring a poll of the graduating class was conducted by Mr. Springer. This poll con- cerned chapel which is held every morning before classes begin and which has become a definite part of Pingry through the years. The great majority of seniors, it was found out, were willing to admit that chapel was helpful and desirable, but they also stated that it could be much improved by the addi- tion of variety in the programs. As a result, a couple of new features were added this year by Mr. Springer. One of these was the frequent appearance on Wednesday morn- ings of church leaders of all faiths who gave short talks, non-sectarian in nature, on a variety of subjects. These visits of the clergy not only provided some diversion from the usual program, but also tended to give chapel a more serious and religious atmosphere. These Wednesday morning speakers proved to be very popular, but they weren't the only innovation last year. Tuesday mornings were set aside for two boys to give debates on important and timely subjects. The value of these forums was two- fold: they had informational value for the Page eighty-six audience, and they also provided experience of the speakers to defend their views by answering questions from the floor. Of course, there were still the character- istics of chapel which gradually have become synonymous with it. The service was started with a hymn, was followed by either a re- sponsive reading or quotation from the Bible, and ended with a prayer. After this came the part of chapel which no Pingry boy ever forgets, the speech. Every boy, from the freshmen to the seniors, must give a talk of three or four minutes once a year. Mr. Hahn again took care of this part of chapel, and deserves the credit for the all-around im- provement of the speeches both in delivery and subject material. Friday mornings still remained the most enjoyable for the average student. During the fall football rallies were the main at- traction with their songs and cheers, and in the winter and spring pictures were shown quite frequently during the morning pro- grams.

That might be extended to include Pingry, for without doubt our library is an excellent one. The center of the sehool's cultural life, it is a Study Hall exhibition gallery, and a general meeting place as well as a book-lending institution. During the past year a total of 5,000 books have been borrowed, and countless are the number of times its reference volumes have been consulted. About 450 books a year are added to the collection, which numbered about a thousand when Mrs. West took over ten years ago. The library is very largely used as a source of urequired readingw books and study sup- plements, as is attested by the Very large Shakespeare, Short Story, and Philosophy collections. There are three shelves of college catalogues, and a collection of pamphlets designed to give vocational guidance. The Annual Book Fair, held with the col- laboration of Bambergers' of Newark, makes the library into a handsomely arranged bookstore. The boys inspect the hooks at their leisure, and make their orders accord- ingly. As the fair was held just before Christ- mas, almost all of the books were bought as gifts, and, as such were of a purely recre- ational nature, with hobby books and fiction selling best. Most popular book in the Upper School was Ben Hogan's NP'ower Golfwg in the Middle School '6The Boy Electrician was the top seller, and 4'Tiny Animal Tales was the Lower School's choice. A total of 232 books were sold. About M5 of the Library's Budget comes from Book Fair profits, the rest from the Senior Mothers, Library Fund Campaign. A good many interesting exhibits were held in the past year. The Rod and Gun Club, Navigation Club, Coin Club, Stamp Club and Model Airplane Club held exhibits, and there were also shows from MLife Magazine and Eastman's National High School Photo Contest. What with its fine book collection, efficient librarian, and effective Sixth Form Proctor System, Pingry has a library to be proud of. Yes, it really does happen-sometimes! DANCES When this article was written only two of the four scheduled dances had been held. For many years there have usually been five dances each year, but this year due to numerous conflicts, namely that the Vail- Deane and Pingry plays were so close to- gether, the Dance Committee decided that it would be better to move the date of the Basketball Dance up to March 26, and drop done very often, but we hope that our pre- cedent will be followed because the coaches really receive all too little credit. The deco- rations Were in blue and white. Our next dance was the Christmas Dance held the night of December 18 at the begin- ning of our Winter Vacation. This dance was one of the most beautiful and highly at- Couples glide over the floor to the tune of soft music at the Christmas Dance. the Spring Dance completely. This means that the Junior-Senior Prom will be the only dance in the Spring, and it ought to be a gala occasion. The school's social activities started this year as usual with the Football Dance. It was held the night of November 20, the Sat- urday after the last football game. Music was provided by Phil Bennet's Orchestra, a fairly newly-chosen band around school. The high- light of the evening was the surprise presen- tation of gifts to the coaches of both the soccer and football squads by the members of these teams. This is something that isn't tended dances ever held at Pingry. The red and white streamers over the floor and the same colored canopies over the door and band would have been enough in themselves. But the beautiful Christmas tree and wall decorations of evergreens and bows really added the finishing touches. Once again the ever-popular Freddy Sleckman and his or- chestra provided the music. It was really a most successful dance. Santa Claus also added color to the occasion. If the two dances yet to be held arc even nearly as enjoyable as the two already held, they too will have been very successful. Page eighty-nine BALLIES One of the things most commonly con- nected with 'Gschool spiritw is the expression of this spirit at pep rallies. The leaders of these rallies often receive too little credit for the tremendous part they play before and during every game. The time spent and trouble gone to is really something when one looks at it closely. This year's cheerleaders did a swell job with what little time they had. Some of the original Hsetsw on the stage were truly well done. The boys ran up against some diiiiculty, however, when the game to be played was an away game. The rallies were usually held on these occasions after lunch so that a large crowd could get off to see the game without missing too much school work. The head cheerleader for this Year, 4'Red Carragher, deserves a lot of credit for the splendid job he did in arranging the rallies and the cheering at the games. He ran up against several difliculties, the most im- portant of which was the fact that three of the leaders were on the varsity football squad. Another difficulty was the lack of a junior cheerleader to take over as leader when no senior could cheer. The sophomores, Bob Cook and Costan Berardinelli, and freshman, George Mushet, did a swell job in their ab- sence. Doug Weed, who was not on the foot- ball team, did take over when he was able and did an excellent job of leading the fans, showing a great amount of spirit for a new boyf' He also added something new to cheer- leading at Pingry which had been absent for several years. This was the flips he per- formed. His most spectacular Hip was the one HCome on Blue, Come on White! done in connection with the G'Sky Rocketf' This was performed with the aid of Andy Campbell, one of the veteran cheerleaders, and constituted a complete flip in the air in time with the whistle. Ray Welsh, another veteran and second oldest member, and 5'Red'7 Carragher performed again as last year their uPep Cheer which was done Very well, sometimes getting more laughs than cheers. The order of the rallies was much the same as in previous years. The rally was started with a cheer or two, followed up by a short speech by either one of the coaches or one of the players, and then more cheers and songs. At the beginning of the year slides of the football songs were used until the boys knew them well enough to discontinue this practice. The rally was usually ended with the singing of the Alma Mater. Until this year rallies had been limited just to the football season. But this year's group of cheerleaders was such an active and eager one that rallies were continued throughout the year for all of the various sports. Real credit must be given to these unsung heroes, for though their reward is small, their merit is great. First Row: Welsh, R., Carragher, Campbell. Second Row: Mushet, Cook, Weed, Berardinelli.
