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.

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
