Acting as a link between the Faculty and the student body, the Student Council is one of the most active and respected groups in Pingry. 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.

1, A , S H i in l il ii il ln September 1937 the Class of '49 started its long, interesting march through the halls of Pingry. 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,
