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.

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

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
