BLUE BOOKS of the forties show how many Sixth Formers served in our armed forces and how they faced problems of indecision as to future plans. And now where do forty-five of us stand as we peer out of our own BLUE BOOK? Or can we really know where the next ten years will bring us? Perhaps to far distant points of interest. We, too, shall serve. if called. But times and circumstances can never erase what we have had here together, the years we of the Staff have tried to preserve in the pages of this book as they really were. In a sense the shapeless future has made us work for this end all the harder. Facing the problems of rising costs, we of the Staff were still able to give you a large and, we hope, an enjoyable BLUE BOOK. This accomplishment was due only to the hard work of many who will receive no public recognition, but who nevertheless have all our heartiest thanks. We hope you will be pleased with the results.

The Trustees work together with Mr. Springer serving as an advisory board. The inception and long range promo- tion of the project-and lately the most patient devotion to the conception and construction of the new building to fuliil its requirements to the highest possible degree have been their march of progress is due largely to their and the headmasters strong leadership The President of the Board is Mr. Conover English an alumnus of the Class of 1894.

He compiled a worthy scholastic record and did just as well on the athletic field, where his best work was done as shortshop on the Blue baseball squad, a post which he held during both his Fifth Form and his Sixth Form years. He did admirably, too, as an end on the Pingry football team.

Dick, Zit Princeton Four years at Pingry Few members of the class of '52 can show a more impressive record than Dick Dzina. Zit was always high up in the class standing and complemented his good scholastic record with a large number of other activities. As a Sixth Former, Wednesdays meant Record night, and when The Blue Book was going to press, Dick devoted many hours to it as Co-Managing Editor. On the athletic field Zit's best efforts were shown as a member of the soccer squad. We shall not be surprised to hear of Zit's good record at Old Nassau.

Tom, Woolz Undecided Nine years at Pingry Torn is one of those individuals who are more interested in activities outside of school than those in school. Although he has de- voted himself to such activities as the Glee Club and the Record, his real interest was in the Camera Club. Tom has been interested in photography a number of years now and has a darkroom at home. Still another thing Tom likes to do is to draw. He has not yet decided what college he would like to attend. but his varied interests are sure to keep him happy. - ARM I x fe 795.2 A ei 51.1 + S'P Favorite Car Paper Girls' School Sport ..oo.o.

Another important development which society has witnessed has been the twelve years of blood, sweat, and tears that took the class of '52 from the first grade to the Sixth Form. However, forty-five have lived to tell the tale, and on lune 6th they get their reward. Our class had three pioneers back in Septem- ber, 1940, as they entered the first grade. Switfy Pete Buchanan, the glue-fingered end, store-robber Dick Corbet, whose picture, mi- nus the plaster of Paris necklace, now adorns the Cranford Post Office, and Alan I like the wide open spaces Embree. Upon entering the second grade, we were introduced to one of our quieter members, Miller Batty Boy Boog Bugliari, who will receive the 1902 neatness prize from Emily Post. There were no new additions in the third grade. In the fourth grade, we were joined by Tom the pen is mightier than the brain Woolsey. As our class entered the fifth grade and became rulers of the Lower School, we were graced with the presence of a man with a wheel future, King Ross, whose college week ends made history. In 1945 our class moved across the athletic field and entered the confines of Varsville. Upon reaching the Harriet Budd Room, we were met by four new faces: lay the human fish Harbeck, known to posterity as Harber : Smoker's Hack Hewson, who left a yellow and black monstrosity with four wheels some- where between here and Williamstown, Massa- chusetts: Gordon listen to my change jing1e Lenci, who hopes to be the Greenback Party's presidential candidate with a platform of in- flation: and lack Noe did it , who plans to start a Rose Bowl in Madison. In the seventh grade ten new members joined our ranks: Smoothy Bruce B. Baekey, six feet-three without his wave and six feet- eight with his hair combed: cool, calm, and col- lected Tom 'I'll never do it again Hartley, a walking ad for Chesterfield: Iohn blind date Hook, who expects to write a book, In Quest of Being a Wheel: Wild Bill Hotchkin, only major letter winner in touch football: Don vim. vigor, and vitality Law, the efficiency expert: Bill Twinkletoes McMeekan, madman of the highways and skyways: lack Orr, who now has the F. B. I. on the trail of his lost manuscript. Shakespeare's Five Great Tragedies of Life : Fred Schroeder, who hasn't seen the inside of the locker room since he got out of the Middle School: Thomas Thomas called Thomas by his friends: and Yogi Ned Ward, who brought home half the Chemical Industries Exposition in his pockets. Our class now reached its last year in the Middle School, and four recruits swelled our forces: Bill Ledder, who has a working agree- ment with his car-it drives him part way, and he pushes it the remainder: Bill Mason, Pin- gry's Ham Fisher : Hugh Morrell, who has been trying all year to raise his verbal: and Pete Bill's boy Van Orman, who tries to keep his nose out of other people's business. Thus, twenty-four strong, leaving behind our bubble gum ton the desksl, water pistols, and yo-yos, we prepared to enter our high school years in a blaze of glory. We shared our blaze of glory with fourteen new members, as in September, 1948, we en- tered the unknown Upper School, where Mr. Buffum issued frequent invitations for Saturday 1952... 4 ,- V X ff- Q V I 3 .

FIFTH FIIRM This was the year that the members of the class of 1953 had to start thinking seriously of the colleges they would like to attend. Headmaster E. Laurence Springer and Advisor Roy R. Shrewsbury greatly helped the Fifth Formers to make these preliminary decisions. The members of the class oi '53, the largest class in school. elected Philip Scrudato as President, Robert Gordon as Vice-President. William Water- son as Secretary-Treasurer. and Steve Reibel and William McCleary as Student Council members. For Class Council posts Oscar Williams and Foster Hirsch were chosen. Appointed to the ring committee were Foster Hirsch, Robert Gordon. and Peter Rowe. The class oi '53 always had a large number oi boys on the Honor Roll every month and had a good representation oi lettermen from all the sports in school. Philip Scrudato was elected Captain of the varsity track team. There were always a large number of members ol the class at dances. parties, and other social affairs outside of school. The Class oi '53, as a future leader. always strived to maintain a good example for the rest of the school and will certainly do its utmost to keep this iine record in its Sixth Form year. 50 P4 F0 RTI! FURM With Harold Ashbaugh as president the Fourth Form, enjoying a very success- ful year, gives promise of great things to come in the next two years. Other officers elected were as follows: Winthrop Hall, Vice-President: William Stanger, Secre- tary-Treasurer: Philip Van Orman and Gery Torborg, Student Council members: and Bert Lesneski and Richard Steinbren- ner, Class Council members. The following courses of study were offered to the Fourth Form this year: Eng- lish, Algebra, French, Caesar, Spanish, German, Mechanical Drawing, Music Ap- preciation, Economic Geography, Biology, and Modern European History. In addition to doing well scholastically, the class of '54 placed boys on the var- sity football and soccer squads. The jun- ior varsity football team, composed large- ly of Fourth Formers, had an undefeated season, rolling over five opponents. Almost every Fourth Former participat- ed in some such extracurricular activity as the Glee Club, the Camera Club, or Navigation Club, or one of the school pub- lications, The Blue Book and the Record. In 'F x rig, 5 Z ,, l 'S, Some Fourth Formers became officers of these and other organizations. Here is a very impressive record, one which the Fourth Form hopes to maintain in its remaining years at Pingry. First Row: Wacker, Hanawalt, Dun, Van Orman, Lesneski Steinbrenner, Ashbaugh, W.

The class officers were as follows: Christopher Tatlock, President: Franklin Randolph. Vice-President: Lester Hopton, Secretary- Treasurerg Frank Shea and Iohn O'Brien, Student Council members: Richard Mar- shall and Bob Rollenhagen, Class Council members. The Third Formers certainly took part in all available athletics under the super- vision of Mr. Williams, Mr. Maroney, and Mr. Atwater. Even though the football record was not very impressive every one learned a great deal and had a good time wrth the new coach Mr Maroney Besides participating in all possible athletics, the Third Formers definitely did their share in supporting extracurricular activities of Pingry, such as the Rifle Club, Glee Club, Navigation Club, and Camera Club. Pingry offers a variety of subjects for the boys to choose from. They include Algebra, English, Latin, General Science. and Early European History. We are sure that all of the sixty mem- bers of this class will be looking forward to returning to Pingry for the remainder of their high school education, and that they will continue to improve and have more prosperous years such as the one of 52 Tlllllll FURM First How Minot P Hall Old Rollenhagen Hopton Marshall C Tatlock Randolph I OBrien F Shea Everett De Paul Butler Second Row R Bryan Krpe R Ward Wronsky Frederick T Davxs I Gutherz Hardie P Kirk Weiss Trabilcy Welch Third Row Bert R Williams Dickson Urner Earnshaw Booth I Welsh Martin Engler Wiener Goggm W Buchanan Fourth Row Wegryn Brescher R Schweizer Lenzen Hemminger Fischer I Hall Higgins Donohue Hulett G Hooker Fifth Row Anderson Hayes Burrows Mann Busch King Nowell Lembeck Parsons Geiger Ploetner f'tf 'l Q 'K -it il: l,,,l..

The Middle School Coin Club is a large and active organization interested in coin collecting. It meets weekly in the library to hear speakers and to exhibit its coins. Periodic trips are made to New York to see famous collections and to purchase coins. Last year the club won first prize among all junior clubs in the United States for National Coin Week, which included an excellent exhibit and two radio shows. Their most recent project is the formation of a permanent Pingry Coin Collection to which students, parents, and alumni are contributing. Officers this year were the following: President, Dick Deyo: Secretary, Bob Murphy: Treasurer, lay Woolsey: and Librarian, Doug Worth. The advisor was Mr. C. Elliot Knoke. First Row: Dickison, M.

The Train Club, directed by Mr. Knoke, is made up ot a group of Middle Schoolers who are interested in railroading. All of them have model train layouts at home, and at least one builds his own cars. Most of them collect railroadiana-timetables, train pictures, calendars, literature, menus, etc. Some who come to school by train have obtained coat buttons, lapel pins.

Al- though this activity is not a formal education in music, it does allow those boys who have an interest in singing to continue their work in that field. While the boys usually sing selections oi their own choos- ing, they also learn the rudi- ments oi simple harmony and time concepts which are of real use when they join the Glee Club in the Upper School.

In the fall athletes may work for a position on one of the regular squads or participate in tennis or even in touch football for the fun and relaxation of exercising each day Those who do not care for the winter sports of basketball and swimming can brave the elements in outdoor athletics or remain indoors for gymnastics Springtime finds every boy en- gaged in baseball, track, or tennis. Everything considered, no one can find fault with the many beneficial results of our well-rounded program of ath- letics at Pingry. it 'L-sl . -2 In the opener of the season for both teams a strong BMI eleven took ad vantage of an 1nexper1enced P1ngry eleven and handed the Parker Roaders a deC1S1Ve defeat 25 7 Art Laust and B111 Arnold put on a two-man show as the Ltttle SO1d16IS outclassed the green P1ngry team Capta1n B111 Tatlock and tallback D1Ck Corbet t1n'ned 1n bnll1ant perform ances 1n defeat However 111 the next weeks pract1ce sesszon many m1stakes were corrected and a 100 percent better football machme took the held aga1nst Englewood P1ngry cap1tcxl1zed on Engle wood fumbles and turned them 1nto touch downs as the Betsytowners defeated the Boys from Bergen County 26 6 B111 Tat lock agam paved the road to success by sk1rt1ng the ends for two touchdowns S1xth Form quarterback K1m K1mber threw two scor1ng aer1als to glue fmgered Pete Buchanan who accounted for the th1rd and fourth 1011195 The B1g Blues pass attack seemed to stym1e the Englewood boys as K1mber hlled the a1r w1th Plgskln all afternoon However 1n the wanlng mln utes of ploy K1mber suffered two broken nbs and he was dlsabled for three weeks Forced to f1l1 K1Il1beIS pos1t1on Reese WIHIQIDS chose a fme passer m B111 Mac Kenz1e who hlled the quarterback slot very successfully for the remamder of the season Mak1ng a strong showmg nn the second half P1ngry came from beh1nd to con quer a relentless Mornstown eleven Once more fleet footed w1ng back B111 Tatlock paved the w1nnmg road w1th two touch downs D1ck Corbet however scored the w1nnmg tally w1th only two mmutes to play B111 MacKenz1e playlng h1S f1rst vars1ty game proved h1mself worthy of recogn1t1on as he tossed a 16 yard touch down pass to Tatlock Montcla1r Academy proved to be the only weak spot on the B1g Blue s schedule as the short handed Mounttes became the th1rd v1ct1m of P1ngry s wmnlng streak P1ngry scored 115 second h1ghest VlC1OIY 1n the h1story of the school tn the 4613 conquest over the Mountles Again B111 Tatlock p11ed up yardage nght and left pavmg the way w1th two touchdowns early 1n the game I1m fhchardson top defenswe back scored two touchdowns on mtercepted passes and flashy full 'fu -I--Q' back Phrl Scrudato scored on a l1ne buck Guy Leedom seemg hrs frrst actron haul ed rn a MacKenz1e pass and raced thfrty yards for a tallv Then Ned Ward small man of the team gathered 1n a Krmber aenal for the frnal score of the day The Prngry men scored at w1ll before the Alumm Day Crowd Thrs game was 1ust a preparatron for the brg one to follow Mud ra1n snow sleet and a w1nd swept gndrron slowed down the Prngry backs as they conquered the1r arch rrval Delbarton 12 7 for then brggest tnumph of the season Guy Leedom who had tumed 1n a good performance the week before was called on agarn and show 1ng the porse of a veteran he caught two passes both for dec1s1ve touchdowns B1ll MacKenz1e turned m hrs best performance of the year hurlrng the water soaked prg skm w1th unbehevable accuracy to Lee dom for both scores Th1s game marked the second trme 1n Tatlocks career that he has been stopped from makrng a tally oddly enough the last tlme was aga1nst Delbarton rn 1950 Lrnemen Ron Post Pete Van Lerght Frank Cameron Tom Thom as Pete Buchanan B111 Dunstan and Bruce Baekey all turned rn sterl1ng per formances stopprng the Green Wave backs r1ght 1n therr own back yard Phrl Scrudato and safety man D1ck Corbet comblned to do the bulk of the work m The next week saw a reverse rn the trde as Newark Academy caprtahzed on num erous Pmgry mlstakes to come out on top 7 6 Iohn Rocco and lack Krahk were the stars rn the Newark football machrne as they passed and drove the Parker Roaders deep 1nto therr own terntory all aftemoon B111 Tatlock helped out by the able nght arm of B111 MacKenz1e kept hrs one hundred fJfty yards per game average as he d1d the bulk of the offen srve runnrng Overconfrdence and bad breaks marked the defeat of the Betsy towners In the fmal football class1c of the year Prngry made 1ts best showrng as 1t beat the Hun School of Pnnceton 206 Dxck Corbet led the sconng lrvmg up to pre season expectatrons He raced around ends wzth mvrncxble fortltude scorrng two touchdowns hrmself and settmg up a thrrd B111 Tatlock counted a score between Cor bets tallles and Tom Thomas gathered rn a Krmber pass to complete the season after Corbets funal tally The Blg Blue turned ln a remarkable record for an m experlenced team Wllh a f1ve and two record Captam B111 Tatlock deserves all the credrt that comes hrs way It IS our hope that Frank Cameron Captam elect w1ll have as much success rn the 52 campargn as we d1d 1n 51 - z 1 5' - 3+ t 'N ' I X 'L wx' N .

The team fought hard throughout the sea- son and went into the last game tCran- fordl with that illusive goal beckoning to it. When this important game was over, though, the Blue booters were on the short end of a 2-1 score. The soccer team's record for the year was three wins, five losses, and one tie, one game having been cancelled. The starting lineup included Schmidt, McClelland, Captain Lenci, Bugliari, and Hewson in the forward line: Orr, Rowland, and Reibel at the halfback positions, Key and Dzina at fullback: and Haas in the goal. Phil Van Orman, Gusrner, Noe, Thorne, Mehr, and Embree substituted very ably for the regulars. Coach Francis West must be given much of the credit for the development of this green team, which had only four returning lettermen. Pingry opened the season against Edi- son, a school which always has a good, strong team. This year was no exception, and it beat us by the score of 4-O. Toward the end of the first quarter of the Staten Island game, which we won by the identi- cal score by which we lost to Edison, Lenci headed in the first goal of the sea- son on an assist from Gusmer. Later in the half, McClelland, taking a pass from Lenci, rammed the ball past the goalie for the second score. During a scrimmage in front of Staten Island's goal, Mehr. gaining possession of the ball, booted it W neatly through for the third tally In the last penod Lenci made two for the day by blastmg McClelland s pass for the final goal The whole team played well in holding down a powerhouse of a Peddxe team to a 3 0 score Our Saturday game of the season agamst Bordentown was a rewarding one for we beat it by a 2-0 score. Both goals were scored in the last quarter by Lenci. He headed in the first on a pass from Schmidt and a few minutes later he booted through a penalty kick. Two trips to New York were fruitless as we came back with two losses. The first loss was to Riverdale by a 3-2 score and the second was to Poly Prep by 3-1. In the Riverdale game which went into over- time Pingry took a 1-0 lead in the first quarter with a goal by Hewson on a corner kick from McClelland. Riverdale tied the score in the second period. During the overtime the New Yorkers scored twice, and Lenci scored once for us. In the Poly Prep. game, the Blue booters were surprised by a spirited opponent and were trailing 3-0 before Bugliari scored in the quarter: ff' 42.5 x 55425 The next game was against Horace Mann and we won by a 42 count Pm gry s first goal was scored in a somewhat pecuhar way as fullback Dzma kicked a sixty yard goal which eluded the Horace Mann goahe In the second penod Lenci rammed home his first goal on an assist from Deuel Two minutes later Buglian with an assist from McClelland also scored With only seconds remaining 1n the game Lenci scored again to make the tally four goals for Pingry A highlight of this game was that Reibel blocked a potential Horace Mann goal with a terrific slide after our goalie had been drawn ou The Irvington game produced a 1 l tie with Lenci scoring our lone goal in the first penod George School of Pennsyl vania was the next scheduled game but it was cancelled because of rain The final game of the season was that eventful one against Cranford wh1ch we lost 2 l Mc Clelland scored our goal with five minutes left to play in the game t First Row: Bugliari.

Only three lettermen returned irorn last year's fine team which compiled an excellent eleven and four record, and only one of these lettermen had much varsity experience. At the time of the writing of this article only one game had been played, this against Montclair Academy. The Big Blue won this contest by a score of 50-44.

Qs The outlook for the 1952 swlmmmg sea son was somewhat d1shearten1ng at the begmnmg of practlce rn December At least 60 per cent of the 1951 team was lost through graduat1on and boys gorng to other schools The or1g1na1 oprmon was that the youth and rnexpenence of thrs years team would h1nder any progress rn the w1nn1ng column However w1th the arrrval of a new coach lVlr R1chard OConnell ct semor at Rutgers and wrtn the able ass1stance of B111 Remrngton 49 now at Upsala the laggmg spmt of the team was ralsed and the team began to practrce rn earnest We suffered less from mexpenence rn the free style than we ongmally had thought Returnmg let termen B111 Dunstan and Duncan Ben net, along with Bob Biglow and Dick Hayes, two fast underclassmen, showed good form in the 40-yard sprint. In the longer free-style distances, lettermen Frank Cameron, Pete Rowe, and Ned Ward displayed their natatorial talents. In the backstroke the outlook was also good. Captain lay Harbeck provided the experience for this event. Also proving themselves capable were Bert Lesneski and Buddy Hostetter, both of whom show- ed good form. The real Achilles' heel of the team was the breaststroke The loss of Captain Bob Cook and Frank Eleder left its mark With no lettermen in this style the teams only weakness may prove difficult to overcome With compar atively few boys going out for this event it is difficult to predict the outcome Lin coln Key with some experience behind him and lack Bryan a hard working un derclassman appear to be Pingry s best chances However with the addition of experience the team will be stronger in the latter part of the season. In the individ- ual medley Duncan Bennett and Pete Rowe, both lettermen, exhibited good form during practice. In the free-style relay, which often decides the winner of cr meet, lim Naylor, Bill Dunstan, Bob Biglow, Dun- can Bennett, and Ned Ward will try for positions. This group will comprise almost the same as last year's team, with the exception of Powerhouse Coogan. The 1952 meets got underway in the first week in Ianuary and curbed Christ mas celebrations for swimmers The schedule of meets brought Pingry in con test with Newark Delbarton Westfield High School Morristown Horace Mann and others It is hoped that this years team will be worthy of some of the great swimming teams in the last several years and may set a fine example for some years to come 9 UUEEP -43. g First Row: Mr. Williams, Kimber, Clark.

A EBALL Trying to predict the outcome of one oi Pingry's baseball teams five months ahead of time is somewhat like attempt- ing to ascertain the final standings in the major leagues at the beginning of the sea- son. Such is the situation again this year, with the 1952 baseball team looking more and more like a question mark the long- er one observes it. Gone from the Big Blue diamond will be the superb third baseman, Bill Burks. A replacement for second baseman, Pete Iasper, another top- ilight player, has to be found. Last year's captain, Ron Dreesen, will be sorely miss- ed at first base. Speedy centeriielder, Dick Peters, is a tough man to match on any club. Gone also are such old stand-bys as lim Horning and lim Whiting. SCHEDULE April Wed. Montclair Hgme Tues. Englewood Hgme Wed. Hun Away Fri. Rutgers Prep Away Tues. Morristown Away Fri.

Newark Academy Away But, You can't keep a good man down, runs an old saying. Pingry will have experienced veterans in a quintet of able, returning lettermen. The great Connie Mack once made the indisputable observation that Baseball is 75 per cent pitching. ln this important department Pingry is fortunate to have the services of both Captain Craig Mc- Clelland, whose fame extends far beyond Pingry, and Bob Clark, undefeated ace of last year. Twig Busch, Stan Iackson, and Iim Haas are possible additions to the mound corps. A puzzling but not impossible problem will be the choice of a receiver for this year's squad. Ron Post is a possible re- placement for Kim Kimber, returning let- terrnan, who might be needed elsewhere. Pingry's infield, hit hardest by graduation, lacks three experienced tenants. Sole re- turning starter is letter-winner Pete Buch- anan, able shortstop and brilliant hitter: Steve Reibel and Roger Schmidt both have designs on Buchanan's job. The choice of players for all three bases proves to be a difficult task. First base is the goal of Tom Thomas. Kimber can also play at first base if that plan seems bene- ficial. Either Gordon Lenci or Bill Mac- Kenzie will have to replace Pete Iasper at third base. The hot corner has sev- eral eager aspirants, including Fred Schroeder and Schmidt. Frank Cameron. a powerful hitter, is also looking for the 'ob. 1 Despite the fact that two-thirds of last year's outfield is missing. the outlook for the open spaces is not exceptionally dark. Dick Corbet, former rightfielder, is expect- ed to move over to center. Bob Thurston plans to capture a berth in either right or center field. Miller Bugliari hopes to keep his back to the left field fence for the duration of the season. Bill Mason. Bill Ledder, Foster Hirsch, and Bob Frank are other hopefuls for outfield positions. As usual this year's schedule includes such traditional rivals as Union, Engle- wood, Montclair, Morristown, Newark. Trinity, and Delbarton. 5-an . . 4,4 4,-Az MQ Q M. ' W ,Lf - www' LY .

Many consider this book just a group of pictures and articles of Pingry students and activities. But if it is read carefully, one can see that it is a symbol of Pingry spirit, and this book will show him why Pingry means so much to her students. It is very difficult to appreci- ate the work and the time that went into producing this yearbook. There are an infinite number of phases to this job, and the whole.task was in the hands of the Blue Book Board. Benson Scotch served as Editor-in-Chief, and Ben did almost all of the organizing of the book and wrote many articles. He also supervised the work of the others on the Board. Assisting him were Dick Dzina and Fred Schroeder. able Co-managing Editors. Gordon Lenci was the head of the circulation, which is a very important part of The Blue Book. Gordon's associate was'Peter Ackerman. Ron Post, assisted by Peter Van Leight handled the financial end of the business. Bill McMeekan served as Photographic Co-ordinator. The whole Staff is very much indebted to Mr. Albert W. Booth, the Faculty Advisor, who gave much of his time towards The Blue Book. Without his advice and aid, this edition would not be possible. A great many of the articles in this issue were written by many boys whose names are too numerous to men- tion. However, their efforts should not pass immentioned. We hope that The Blue Book will give many fine memories of this year at Pingry and afford much pleasure as one looks over it from time to time. First Row: Dzina, Scotch, Mr. Booth. Schroeder.

This newspaper performs vari- ous, important functions. It provides an outlet for the creative talents of the stu- dents, while at the same time it teaches them the fundamentals of journalism. It draws together all the news concerning Pingry and presents it in concise form to a large group of readers composed of students, parents, alumni, and friends. This year the paper was under the able leadership of Editor-in-Chief Iere Ross. Serving well under Ross were Managing Editors Frederick Schroeder and Benson Scotch. Richard Dzina served as Associate Editor. The sports department of the Record was in the capable hands of War- ren Kimber, who featured a regular column, Kim's Whimsf' Under Kim was a staff of sports writers, including Associ- ate Sports Editor Bruce Baekey. The Record was featured this year by the rib-tickling humor of Bug and Mac, whose articles have become a classic part of our class heritage.

Laurence Springer, studies the principles and applications of celestial navigation. Primer of Navigation, by George Mixter, is the textbook used. Under the auspices of of Mr. Ernest Shawcross, the elementary group deals with such fundamentals as chart and compass reading, course plotting, and rules of the sea. The textbook used in this section is Charles Chapman's Seamanship. Several trips this year were made by the combined clubs, including one to Grand Central Palace for the Motor Boat Show. A great deal of interest was shown by the boys, and all agree that the year has been a successful and profitable one. International Relations Mr. Hahn, faculty lead- er of the International Re- lations Club, feels that there is no reason for stu- dents not to be informed concerning world affairs. The members of this group informally discuss and in- terpret the events which are in the headlines. Students who are mem- bers of the International Relations Club are advis- ed to read at least one reputable daily paper. te.g,. the New York Timesl and a weekly news mag- azine, such as Time or Newsweek.

Ginty, was re- ceived very well by the audience. Missouri Legend is a drama dealing with the latter part of the career of the famous and romantic bandit, Iesse Iames. 1 'W .. f i ' ..f' ,tr The story tells how Iames, on his way to a bank, comes to the cabin of the Widow Weeks: learning of a mortgage which is being foreclosed by the same bank, he pays the Widow the amount due on her house and then holds up a messenger from the bank who is on his way to evict the poor woman.

O'Brien, Morrell-, Each year there is chosen from the Sixth Form class a group which, though un- herqlded, works and plans for all the Pingry dances. This year's Dance Com- mittee of Bruce Baekey, chairman, Iere Ross, Gordon Lenci, Thomas Woolsey. Alan Embree, and William McMeekan discovered some of the difficulties in pre- senting school dances. Probably the most perplexing problem these boys encoun- tered was that of organization. However, because Mr. France encouraged each member to perform certain duties, some of the seemingly endless confusion was alleviated. The job of contracting a band and of attending to invitations was undertaken by Bruce, while Alan and Bill played the part of electricians. Iere, Gordon and Tom took charge of decorations, which consist- ed of estimating and of purchasing the decorations and refreshments chosen by the Committee. With these tasks behind it the Committee would start to work, and it would not be long before the some- what dismal gymnasium was changed into a room of swirling colors and of dancing couples. There is one person who is likely to be overlooked, and that is the faculty ad- visor, Mr. France. However, it was he who attended conferences before dances, and through his untiring efforts the Committee was able to initiate many new ideas that helped make our dances more successful.

On Tuesday two boys appear in a forum and discuss a topic of world or national interest. Mr. Hahn introduces the speakers and arranges the program. After the speakers have presented their v1ews questions are asked from the floor Forums are benef1c1al in two ways First they are an interesting and an impartial way of mformmg the student body of toprcs in the news Secondly they give the speakers exper1ence in defendmg their opinions before oppos1t1on On Tuesdays alumnr sometimes come to talk to us about the1r vocations These talks are of great interest and help boys to decide on the1r future occupations On Wednesday morn1ng faculty mem bers or students often lead our worshlp Chapel then becomes more religious 1n atmosphere Somet1mes clergymen of all falths come from ne1ghbor1ng churches to give us 1nsp1rat1onal talks The1r visits are always greatly apprectated by the students Friday morn1ng programs are very popular with most of the students. In the fall we have football rallies where the team is encouraged by cheers and by school songs. During the rest of the year Mr. Les and a committee arrange interest- ing and educational programs. DINING ll00M With Chef Clarence Kennedy in charge, the hard-working kitchen staff did a fine job this year, serving about thirty thou- sand meals. The Chef, who was a dieti- tian in the Navy and later worked at Morristown for three years, has just com- pleted his fourth successful year at Pingry. To the average Pingry boy, the favorite meal is roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, and some green vegetable. When this dinner is served, the usual consump- tion is one hundred twenty pounds of beef, fourteen gallons of green vegetables, two hundred pounds of mashed potatoes, fifty pounds of bread, and two hundred fifty half pints of milk. Beef stew is an- other popular dish, sometimes the amount devoured reaching thirty-six gallons. By far the favorite desert is ice cream, which is served three times a week. Each day about twenty-three gallons are eaten. Of course the staggering amout of food consumed each day by two hundred fifty boys keeps Mr. Kennedy and his assist- ants very busy. In buying the food at the lowest possible price, in waiting for it to be delivered. in arranging it into the most nourishing, best, balanced meals, and in cooking it, the kitchen staff is busy from nine o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon. Although we consider a meal as some- thing that is there when we come charg- ing down to the dining hall, Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the staff know the work that goes into preparing the food. After an exhausting morning of quizzes and tests, it is no wonder that the boys are hungrier than a wolf pack. After twenty minutes the lunch that took four hours to prepare is nothing more than the plates it was served on. The Dining Hall has many other asso- ciations besides those of food and of drink. It is a place to chat with other stu- dents about the morning's doings, to get to know the masters better, to study before school and during the conference period, and to have an all-round good time. J-15,1 It If Xb ull 26 f 'I 1 Q, f LIBRARY The books in the library cover a wide range of subjects, both fiction and non- fiction. The library is a source of required read- ing material and of many reference books. Three shelves are devoted to college cato- logues, encyclopedias, and various other important reference books. During each school year about five thousand books are borrowed by students. The library is under the careful super- vision of Mrs. Frances West. When she arrived here twelve years ago, the books in the library numbered about one thou- sand, but since that time the number of books has steadily increased. She also has worked out an efficient card-index system, which enables boys to find the books of their choice quickly and easily. Mrs. West also purchases the new books for the library each year, and her choices always seem to coincide with the school's reading interests. During the month of November, with the collaboration of Bamberger's Depart- ment Store in Newark The Annual Book Fair was held. This fair lasted for one week, in which time the boys were al- lowed to look through the books and to order whatever ones they wanted. The profit from this sale was used to purchase more books. Later in the year the money obtained from the sale of bookmarks by Sixth Form mothers will be used to in- crease the size of the library. lil. lf- XQGRY YXNGHY PW 601' PINGW, QXRCH Z.. V Every Thursday afternoon during the conference period a group of boys headed for the locker rooms to prepare for the Friday football rallies. These boys started off without much knowledge concerning the cheers, but gradually they became familiar with them and soon began to put together their inspirations, concerning brief skits, and. as a result, aroused some real, fine spirit for the football games. Something new was done this year. This innovation concerned the times of the rallies. Instead of being held in the morning after chapel, a number of rallies were held in the gym shortly before the game started. All the school assembled as a group and aroused their spirit to a tremendous level. Then all would surge into the stands outside to back up the team with steadily rising enthusiasm. The cheerleaders then did their best to keep the spirit at its peak and actually suc- ceeded in doing so through the year. At the basketball games this year the cheerleaders also had the whole school yelling and shouting as the teams rushed back and forth across the court. In pre- vious years they have not carried their job into the basketball season, but never- theless this year they took it upon them- selves and did as splendid a job with basketball, as they did with football and baseball. 'NASH Y RALLIE I I gif e Since all work and no play makes Iohnny a dull boy, the daily work routine at Pingry is periodically interrupted by a school dance. The school dances are the zenith of the school calendar each year. Eagerly supported by all mem- bers ot the Upper School, every school dance is a tremendous success. There are usually four dances each year. three given by the Sixth Form Dance Com- mittee. The Football Dance on the evening following the last game brought to a close a good season. Wilbur Koener and his band provided the music. As in the past, the football and soccer coaches were given presents by team captains. The music of Lester Lanin and Santa Claus' gifts to certain de- serving Sixth Formers high- lighted the Christmas Dance. Wilbur Koener returned for the Spring Dance, which cele- brated the end of the winter sports season and the advent of the spring season with its numerous activities. The last dance of the year was the Prom, which the Fifth Form gives annually for the graduat- ing class. The Dance Committees de- serve a great amount of credit for all their efforts. t.,-...gg THE 952 BLUE BO0K STAFF BENSON D SCOTCH FREDERICK H SCHROEDER RICHARD DZINA RONALD H POST RENE HUBER PETER VAN LEIGHT GORDON K LENCI PETER ACKERMAN ALBERT W BOOTH Edrtor 1n Ch1ei Managmg Ed1tor Managmg Edrtor Advertrsmg Manager AdV6It1S1Hg Assocrate C1fCu1Gt1OD Assocrate Crrculatron Assocrate Faculty Adv1ser apprecxates the wonderful help rn mnumerable detculs supphed by the ofhce and bus1ness staffs mc1ud1ng Mrs Kmg M1ss Crane Mrs MacFarlane Mr Bundschuh and Mrs Ford heartxly thanks Mrs M Scotch who drd all the typmg work congratulates Whrte Studlo of New York and Mrs Whrte 1n partrcular who d1d an outstandmg job 1n the photo graphxc held hopes the BLUE BOOK readers w111 appreclate the enor mous part played by all of our ADVERTISERS 0 0 0 Advertising Associate THE HONOR CODE Prngry beheves m the value of the Honor System as ongmally concerved by xts founders and as currently apphed to the preparatron ol a student s work and the takmg of exam1 natxons But the school also beheves that the Honor System IS part of a larger standard of behavxor that apphes to all that a student does as a member of the school commumty lt IS not so much a matter of rules to be l1ved up to as a matter of general attrtude and sprnt Pmgry stands for selfrespectmg gentlemanly behavror that spnngs from a sense of respon Slblllly It beheves that a nght thmlang member of the student lnterests of the whole school of hrs class and of any team or club to whrch he may belong He w1ll act as a member of the group worklng wxth 1t rather than calculatmg hxs own advantage He w1ll take xnto consxderatxon the nghts of others conductmg hrmseli at all txmes and III all places 1n such a manner as to show that he knows the code of a gentleman And he w1ll do th1s because he belxeves m lt and wants to do what 1S nght now whmle he IS a member of the school com mumty and later rn hte when he takes has place ln the larger communxty of the world COMPLIMENTS OF HE STUDENT COUNCIL body will want to so conduct himself as to further the best T T0 THE ClASS OF T952 FROM ROBERT C.
