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

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,

SENIURS Page eighteen JOSEPH EMIL ARACE, JR. November 7, 1931 1015 Byron Avenue, Elizabeth, N. J. 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.
