FUREWUPID ln giving you your 1949 BLUE BOOK, we, the editors, have tried to give you a picture of what Pingry means to all of us. 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. Page fwe
