There is behind Pingry one motivating idea which is frequently misunderstood mlsconstrued, or even denied This force is Plngry Sp1r1t We have heard of lt fre quently slnce our first years at Plngry and all too often have not understood what we heard th1nk1ng the reference was to the Honor System or more broadly to the Honor Code Some have even denied the existence of any such splrlt since the transition to the new bulldmg No one however has gone further than saying that lt IS a spirit and that lt accomplishes certain thmgs we want to go an extra step with a definition Those who deny lts existence are perhaps confusing the enthusiasm of rallies wlth spirit and are forgetting that any cheering ln the old buildings seemed greater by reason of the smaller dimensions of the buildings In splte of the fact that the Honor Code IS not Pmgrv Splrlt one can see through lt the outlines of that Splfll casual shows that the Code IS based upon those ideas of generosity Chrlstlan principles originally con celved by of a also belleves t at applies to n a IS ot so much an spirit from a e interests of the he may belong rather than calculating the rights of others a manner as to show that e this because he bCll8VCS ln lt now whlle he IS in the larger c In the Code there are s are essentlal to the under standlng of the ldeas mentioned ln lt among them spzrzt and belle Splrlt it can be seen from the Code, IS the quality within one that influences his conduct in a certain dlrectlon Belief is one s practical theory of conduct such as the Honor Code, or his acknowledgment that such a theory IS the best So boiled down to the essentlals Pmgry Spirit IS a belief ln various human principles of behavior a bellef strong enough to make us follow these principles and include them ln our daily llves This definition IS the step that has not been taken, and it follows from this definition that the spirit shown at rallies and at games IS not the only aspect of Plngry Sp1r1t it is only the most obvious, because 1t IS that Plngrv Spirit directed to a partlcular end These principles we have mentioned as being human are quite evident ln two relat1onsh1ps of life lIldlVldl18l to lIldlVldl.l3l and 1nd1v1dual to group The first relatlonshlp that between one lndlvldual and another, IS found ID two distinct forms ln Plngry that between student and student and that between student and teacher Since the students at Plngry are primarily from similar backgrounds h . ll ' d of th ' . a 5 th do ' . . . . he do - 5 . . a member of the when he takes his place the problem of cliques that is so prevalent in some schools is greatly done away with, and there is the opportunity to get to know everyone in the school. And a friendship carried on for some time in the school is apt to be life-long in duration, particularly when it is based on the principles included in the idea of Pingry Spirit. The Student Council upholds these same principles in its efforts to help an offender both realize the value of obedience to the rules -of the school and overcome his failing instead of merely enforcing the rules. The second form of this individual relationship is seen in the mutual respect of instructor and student for the capabilities, ideals, and interests of one another. The faculty shows this respect by their faith in the students and in their government. The students evince confidence in the school's educational program in all of its phases by their willing and active participation and support. The complex relationship of the individual and the group can be seen in all phases of school life ln clubs teams and other activities both within and outside of school hours This feeling of co operation extends to the faculty who gladly volun teered to take on the positions vacated by Mr Kirk s sudden death and by Mr Shrews bury s retirement with all the extra work that went with them This book points up mainly this relationship as lt is a most inclusive one Of It the Honor Code states He will conduct himself so as to further the best interests of any group of which he may be a part It is in fulfilling thls obligation to the interests of the group that the lndlvldual receives the greatest satisfaction and most improves himself and the group The cultivation and improvement of these two relatlonships and of the principles behind them form the core of character building and as such they are Plngry s express goal And lt is the Splfll of the school as a group as well as that of the boys and men as the individuals who form this group that makes these relationships possible S this is the value of Pmgry Spirit that it is the cornerstone upon which 15 built the character of each student in the group What has been said thus far is not what Pingry Spirit should be but what lt IS to us the student body And throughout the book are more examples more specific than we have been able to give here of the accomplishments of the spirit that forms the basis of our school s life mia Page FOREWORD DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION HEADWIASTER BOARD OF TRUSTEES FACULTY SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN CURRICL LUM ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES DANCES ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS .

HEADMASTER Mr. Springer's unstinting devotion to all matters which pertain to school life can be observed through his keen sense of duty and his administrative efficiency, which contribute strongly to Pingry's well-run curriculum and high scholastic standards among sec- ondary schools During the course of the year Mr Springer visits many colleges and attends various meetings in order that he may better assist the Sixth Formers with their college plans Our headmaster is also vitally interested in and personally con cerned with the problems of the in dxvldual students and throughout the year he acqualnts himself closely with each member of the Upper School The back door of Mr Sprlngers study IS always open for those who need individual guidance Because of his patient understanding and sincere efforts the entire school holds Mr Springer in the highest esteem avail Heap ul-ann: Seated, left to right: Robert B.

Though unnoticed in most of their endeavors, tht- time and effort the Board spends greatly benefits Pingry. l'erforming a three-fold function. the Board is in charge of the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. the man- agement of business and financial matters. and the establishment of the general policies of administra- tion. The Board also works in close harmony with Mr. Springer. acting as an adxisory body. As can readily be seen. the members of the Board are much more than impersonal policy-makers. for nearly every member is either a Pingry graduate or has had a son at Pingry. Since Pingry moved into its new school. the Board has been divided into sex en committees which deal with such important matters as finance. en- dowment. public relations. and the care of the school and grounds. each member serxing on at least one committee. Through these functions can readily be seen the unceasing endeavors of the Board to raise the status of the school.

WASASIER Head of Lower School First Grade 4 QI 4,1 Fourth Grade Fifth Grade It is during the early years of school life that the attributes which go toward laying the foundation for that praiseworthy and intangible quality known as Pingry Spirit are first instilled in a boy. The es- tablishment and maintenance of such a spirit is the direct result of the enduring devotion and unending effort displayed hy the Lower School Faculty. Beginning with the first grade taught hy Mrs. Helen B. Wasasier, able head of the Lower School. the boys next receive the care and guidance of Mrs. Katherine l. Wolffis second grade and Mrs. Mildred G. Clifford's third grade. ln the fourth and fifth grades. taught by Mrs. Helen K. Die- bolt and Mrs. Pauline R.

A school staff is a vital organ in the run- ning of any school, and Pingry is indeed fortunate in having the diligent and highly capable staff needed for the maintenance of the school. As head of the entire staff, Business Manager Mr. William Waldheini sees that Pingry is run smoothly and efficiently. And handling all financial matters and business matters in the Business Office are Mr. Oscar Bundschuh and secretaries Mrs. Rose Ford and Miss lrene Knapp. ln the main office. secretaries Mrs. Eliz- abeth King. Mrs. Emma MacFarlane. Mrs. Jayne Ross. Miss Marv Davidson. and Mrs. Alice P. Pringle ably take care of the hun- dreds of letters, phone calls. and all other business matters that come up during the school year. In addition to their regular work, the secretaries take an appreciated interest in the boys and lend a hand in some of the extra-curricular activities of the school. Head Dietieian Mrs. Henrietta Christen- M rs. Christensen, Dietician. sen and her industrious kitchen staff have the tremendous responsibility of feeding Pingry's students. Besides preparing a lunch every day for 498 students, the kit- chen staff prepares numerous school teas, dinners, and also helps with refreshments at dances. In his capacity as School Physician, Dr. Roman Schweizer gives his valuable time, energy. and skill for the health and protec- tion -of the students. As a friend of the school, he shows his spirit, friendship, and personal interest in the students and their activities. The job of maintaining the school and grounds is efhciently taken care of by Mr. Walter Kutz and his maintenance crew. Rounding out the staff into a smoothly- running organization is Mr. Michael Turick and his custodial staff, which has the job of keeping the school spotlesslv clean. Enough cannot be said about the diligence and thoroughness with which the custodial staff works and about its friendliness and helpfulness to the organization of the school. And in this humble dedication to the school, the staff evinces the spirit, atti- tude, and motives which are behind the entire school staff.

Frenchie has proved him- self a valuable asset to the basketball team, using his height to advantage in outreaching and out- jumping his opponents. llis sense of fair play along with his varied interests in other activities is sure ,J N X Y' XJ W 1- to gain Dick success in his field of endeavor.

Pete Cornell, Lehigh Six Years at Pingry When it comes to good nature and genuine friend- ship, Pete is a hard man to beat. Always friendly always joking, Pete covers his elliciency by his smile and good will. During his years at Pingry, Pete has always been one of the most famous class characters and a memorable member of the Class of '56, Peteis school spirit is shown by his membership in the Blue Key and in the Glee Club. ln the athletic de partment he was a valuable asset to the Soccer Team with his excellent playing as a fullback. Pete's way with women along with his ever-present sense of 7 if.. humor will surely make him a success in college s and in later life.

Pete, Oil, 0'B, Gino Middlebury, Rutgers Four Years at Pingry Known for his love of sports cars and good fun, Pete is very popular in his class. Outside of school Pete is an ardent sportsman, enjoying hunting and fishing. A member of the Sports Car Club of Amer- ica, he often participates in races and in rallies. Athletically, 0'B aided the track team this year by throwing the javelin and running the hurdles.

Bob Yale Seven Years at Pingry Bob is perhaps best known for his willingness to tackle any job he undertakes and to complete it with the utmost perfection. This quality is especially visible in his high scholastic achievements which brought about his election to the Cum Laude Society at the end of the Fifth Form year. Music and golf are Bobls main hobbies. Because of his interest in classical music, Bob was instrumental in the forma- tion of a new Pingry activity, the Music Club. His golf swing, accurate though left-handed, has earned him a varsity letter for the last two years and the captaincy of this year's Hduffersf' Bob's persever- ance and his friendly disposition are sure to make him a success in later life.

CLASS Twelve years ago in September of 1944, the class of '56 had its humble beginnings with a scared, young first grader, Bob Burks, who then was already accepted at Princeton. The second grade contributed Dave Knoke, our muscular headwaiter, and ,led Maffenbeier, the most able boy in school. ln the third grade we were joined by Bob, the boy who still thinks he can replace Mary, Murphy and Cary Stass, Pingry's lone Dance Timei' enthusiast. Upon entering the fourth grade, our final addition in the Lower School was made in the personage of ,lay Woolseyf, one of the more colorful members of the class. From the little building on Westminster Avenue, we six studious students made the big move to the sixth grade and the Middle School domain of Varsville. There we were joined by Chris Denman, our class Thespian, Dick Deyo, the heart-throb of Vail-Deane, Jim Dickson, Mr. Buffumis dietary expertvg Mac Hall, the boy who attends the school his father built, Fred mixer dancesn Hewitt, Bob Platz, who believes that the greatest reverence is due to homework, and Clyde Beatty Williams, the self-taught snakeman. The seventh grade brought new study worries and five new members: John Hall, one of the main characters in the Student Council Minutes, Bob Jewett, the only man- ager of the football team ever to wear pink mambo slippersg Pete Neel, buyer of used and reused carsg Fred the mosti' Schweizer, and Don Van Duyne of diving fame. Our last year in the friendly confines of the Middle Schol was heralded by the arrival of Lewis Lewis, who prefers to be called by his first name, Fred Intellect Incorporated Mayer, ,lim Palmer, who only deals with weighty problemswg and Mike Zuckerman, thelkonly boy who ever had to shave before he could wa . Our third form year saw the largest influx of mem- bers as construction of the new school was progressing steadily and hopes ran high for an early completion. To our class of twenty-three members were added twenty-five more: Dick love those Knickerbockersl' Bassing Jeff Boehlert the local yokel with rocks in his headg Bob Boyd, our very own Hopalongg Ed, who's always seeing red, Boyer: Cornelius Burke, L S4 M's answer to higher salesg Curt Champlin, Physics' an- swer to perpetual motiong George the name's the same, but not the mindi' Champling Nick Davis, of 60 HI TORY Healy fame, John English, Charley Chrysler's public relations agent, Mac Goggin, the fastest man in the school, Ted Hauser, who is earnestly studying the ins and outs of law, Bob easy going but where to?i' Long, Nelson Lyon, a champion of the radical Junior Senator from Wisconsin, Wright Parson,' Patterson and his famous red handkerchief, Pete O'Brien, who is working on his sixth deferment, Don Pettit, who rides a ferry to Staten Island, Bob Pyle, who thinks D. A. means district attorney, Ricky Richardson, who all in all is an all-around guy, Louis Buprecht, the only machine gun that ever fell in love, Cy Smith, who knows lots of tall tales, John Stamler, our best ditch- diggerg Stan Stevinson, our perennial treasurer with Tarzan tonsilswg Bob Sweeten, our long-haired musi- ciang Terry Talcott, the head of the class, and long- legged Dick Windatt, our own Davy Crockett. Our fourth form year was the year of the big switch to the new building. and our class of forty-seven was joined by Jim and John, our best examples of before and after, Dick Auerbach, the only senior who uses curlers every night, Charley Can you top this? Collins, Ace,' 'SSurely you jestli' Conkg Russ Meyer, whose voice has finally changed, Jim Lee, the casual' jockey, Charley Minot, the Staten Island wiver wat, Pete Schweitzer and Peter Tutulis, our famous baritone combination, Bob Shippee, who goes for things in a big way, Dave Slayback, growing about two inches each year, Gordie Hwinged footi' Strauss, and Ian the peon Struthers, who drags cops at intersections. During our fifth form year sixty-one boys greeted Mark '6Flex Forrester, muscleman deluxe, dapper Dick Goldberg, George back-slappern Green, one of the friendlier members of the class, Dirk Held, the barefooted, blindfolded, one-legged waterskierg Bob Cashmere Klein, Walker ha-a-t dawg! Lockett, a not-so-rebellious southernerg Pete Merrill, who still doesnit understand what's going on, and Ed 85-push- ups Montfort. In our senior year we welcomed Teddy Griswold, who gets a rise in every tale, thereby round- ing off our class at an even seventy members. We will all remember Pingry, and Pingry will also remember many of us. Our class is the largest ever to graduate from this school and in future years we will appreciate more fully what we have done and what has been done for us here. 61 I' ., 71. ,L P 'iw af ,M fx ff' W W hai? n Nu. vm ff., igl- , , , 1 'ii' J, 1 , ,f if if G,5,,, .5 we F ,fm ..- L. 1' 23 5 v ,, 2-ffgr.

This year s Fifth Form show ed that it had real spirit Led by its two faculty advisors Mr Herbert F Hahn and Mr Francis W West and by its seven class officers the Fifth Form prov ed itself capable of assuming the respon S1b1lltlCS of seniors next year The oflicers for 195556 were the following Robert Rettig President Raymond Londa Vice President John Luther Secretary Treasurer Douglas Kerr and John McCobb Student Council repre sentatlves Robert Stanger and Gordon Stevenson Class Council members A class cannot say it has real school spirit but must prove it has this spirit by what it does for the school by its participation in all school activities and by its wllllng ness to give of itself 1n whatever It does Scholastlcally the class every month had more than an average number of boys on both honor rolls with more than an average number achieving high honors. Every year the class has had an increasing number of its members on varsity teams and this year the Fifth Form had the greatest number ever. The class had varsity 0 lettermen on every school team, and members of the class formed the nucleus of all JV teams. ln addition to having many varsity players and outstanding athletes, the class showed its real spirit by the way in which the boys not gifted athletically entered fully into the athletic program, contributing much and gaining much. The Class of '57 really stood out in the field of extra- curricular activities. Many Fifth Formers were active on the school publications. the Record and Blue Book, gain- ing experience which will be invaluable to them next year when they will be holding key positions. The Dramatic Club had a great number of its members from the Fifth Form, most of whom participated in the Pingry Players' two productions this year. The Clee Club. the two Navi- gation Clubs. the Camera Club. the International Rela- tions Club. the language clubs. and all the other organiza- tions of the school had a large share of their members from the Fifth Form. It certainly is evident that the Class of '57 exhibited real Pingry spirit in its Fifth Form year. Sealed, lefl to right: McCobb. Kerr. Londa. Rettig. Luther St:-yenson. Stanger.

CALM I9 66 X The class of '58 entered its second year in the Upper School with sixty-six members in its ranks. The credit for the steady improvement and final success, both aca- demically and in growth of character, is due to the guid- ance and efforts of our advisors, Mr. Vincent L. Lesneski, Mr. Joseph D. Person and Mr. Roy R. Shrewsbury, who could not finish the year with us. The officers elected by the class were the following: Stephen Schwarz, President, Stevens Hilyard, Vice-Presi- dentg Robert LeBow, Secretary-Treasurer, Peter Behr and Rodney Parsons, Student Council membersg Steven Baldwin and Bruce Mack, Class Council members. This year our curriculum offered us an interesting and diverse program of both required and elective sub- is jects including English, lntermediate Algebra, Modern European Languages. History. Caesar. Mechanical Draw- ing, and Public Speaking. The fourth form was active in athletics as well as in extra-curricular activities, participating in all major sports and placing letter men on many of the varsity and junior-varsity teams. Those who did win letters during the year received the satisfaction of playing hard, clean games. Not only did the class realize physical develope ment but also did they further development of the sense of sportsmanship. The class helped support many of the clubs, social functions, and other extra-curricular activi- ties during the year, deriving a great deal of enjoyment from them. FO RTH FOR ef Seated, Ie!!

The class of '59 readily participated in all available athletics. Supporting many extra-curricular activities, the Third Form had a well-rounded schedule. Definitely not unsociable, the freshmen were well represented at Pingry dances as well as at outside affairs. This year's courses for the Third Form were Algebra, Early European History, Earth Science, English, French, Latin and World History.

IDDLE The Middle School, comprising the Sixth Grade, First Form, and Second Form. is under the supervision and capable guidance of Mr. Charles B. Atwater, who is ever willing to help a boy with a problem. whether it be in scholastic or extra-curricular work. The Middle School Staff cooperates with Mr. Atwater to further enlarge the students, horizons and indoctrinate them in good study habits and true school spirit, both invaluable traits. In the realm of sports and extra-curricular activities, the Middle School aiiords a paramount opportunity for the boys to inaugurate themselves into a well-rounded curiculum. It develops in them a sense of duty and enthu- siasm, which are characteristic of true school spirit and which will be of incalculable value to them in the. Upper School as well as in later life. On the athletic field, the Middle Schoolers learn the basic essentials of teamwork and receive their first introduction into competition. From this vital experience they gain many valuable lessons, such as a keen sense of sportsmanship and the ability to work in harmony with their teammates. Another important phase of the Middle School curriculum is the greatly diversified number of extra-curricular activities, such as the Observer, the Clee Club, the Coin Club, and various 51 Ui CHGOL other hobby clubs. The enthusiastic and conscientious attitude which each boy displays towards his particular hobby attests to the Success of these clubs and is the reason why the Upper School activities have such strong support. These organizations develop the Middle School'- ers both in mind and spirit and get them ready for future undertakings of a more difficult and exacting nature. Thus, the Middle School lays the foundation and builds the spirit upon which rely the more rigorous standards of physical and mental endeavor of the Upper School. The President of the Second Form, who also served as President of the Middle School was Peter Hilgendorff. James Whitlock was Vice-President, and Peter Johannsen was Secretary-Treasurer. The two Junior Council repre- sentatives were David Speno and William Wertheimer. The First Form officers were Frank Walter, Presi- dentg Hunter Corbin, Vice-President, Donald Bushell, Secretary-Treasurer, and David Rogers, Junior Council nember. The officers in the Sixth Grade were Stephen Brown, President, Roger Herrmann, Vice-President, J-ohn Whit- marsh, Secretary-Treasurer, and Robert Scott, Junior Council member. 4 3 Seated, left to right: Whitmarsh, Brown, Scott.

Under the able direction and guidance of Mrs. Helen Wasasier, the Lower School faculty molds each boy's character and teaches him the importance of co- operation and sharing. Unlike the Middle and Upper Schools, the Lower School has its own religious services three mornings each week. Every week a different class leads these services. Also every Lower Schooler has music twice a week. The boys have their athletics under the per- sonal direction of Mr. Williams. Like the older boys, athletics is one of the important parts of a Lower School- er,s day, for it is during' the athletic period that the boys learn the rules of sportsmanship and fair play. There is a great deal of enthusiasm and school spirit in the Lower School. The younger boys are often more Pingry conscious than the older boys, because at this stage Pingry is the boy's whole life. The younger boys look up to the Upper Schoolers a great deal and often try to imitate them. Thus it can be seen that the Lower School is an all-important factor in the formation of the nuclei of future classes. Z.. k 4 . 3 Music Appreciation in the Lower Grades. l FY -ul? - 4.2 sw.

Students are re- quired to gain a certain number of credits over their four years in the Upper School in order to receive a diploma, and these credits may be obtained in the fields of English, lan- guage, history, mathematics, and the sciences. Recent additions to Pingry's broad curricu- lum of study have been courses in the fine arts, such as music appreciation, creative art, and shop training. Stand-bys from former years are courses in mechanical drawing and Drivers, Education for all prospective drivers. Public speaking is a definite part of school education at Pingry, and the Third and Fourth Formers have a specified time each week when the boys give a speech under the supervision of a faculty advisor. The Fifth and Sixth Form members are required to speak before the whole school on a topic which is suitable for a forum, a devotional talk, or the usual three-minute speech. The remainder of the school day is spent either in student-pr-octored study halls, in athletics, or in diverse extra-curricular activi- ties provided for the benefit of the student and of the whole school community.

The staff works and plans conscien- tiously to provide a wide variety of nutritious meals, ranging from hamburgers and frank- furters to roast pork with mashed potatoes. Beginning at 7:00 A.lVl., the women start preparing the one hundred twenty-five pounds of meat and two hundred fifty pounds of potatoes which make up the average Pingry lunch. Between seventy and eighty pounds of vegetables, forty loaves of bread, along with butter and jelly, are consumed daily. Included in the meal is a dessert consisting of either ice cream, pastries, or fruit and cookies. While eating, the boys receive an opportunity to get to know each other better. Announcements pertaining to the running of the school are made after the meal. Clear the waste, boys! ' 7' ' X n agmlaorfanf puff 0 .Si oo ik Browsing for pleasure in library. The library, a definite part of Pingryis edu- cational system, stimulates the student's inter- ests in many subjects and helps to round out his education. Many ldpper Schoolers have worked as volunteer assistants in the library and contributed to its atmosphere. Besides Upper Schoolers. members of the Middle School are a familiar sight around the library. Mrs. Frances H. West. librarian, has stocked the library with about T000 volumes on many varied subjects. This great number of books. covering all types of fiction and non-fiction and the collection of reference books render a vast service to the student in his studies. Serving as a place of relaxation as well as a source of knowledge. the library has a great variety of current magazine issues and a size- able collection of classical records. These facilities provide peaceful relaxation before school, after lunch. or at any free moment during the day. Thus the library plays an important role in a studentis life: by teaching him how to use the knowledge of books. it not only helps him in his studies. but it also helps him prepare for college work and eventually for work after college. 4 1 ve 4' ,L Y Q ' 1, ,V I .LM 4 'if , wif , F n 1 t ' , Q J' ' A Z g ' 1 4 ' ' . 2 f w .i .

One of the most important parts of any well-rounded education is physical training and development, carried out amply at Pingry in the athletic program. The faculty-student relationships are close in the athletic program. linder the general supervision of Mr. Reese Williams, Director of Athletics, faculty members serve as coaches of all teams and squads. Much time and effort on the part of these coaches is devoted to guidance and teaching of boys, aiding the boys, development, and moulding them into better athletes. The faculty coaching system is good because it fosters respect and good will between the students and their teacher-coaches. This mutual friendship, coupled with a cooperative and willing spirit, does more to promote phy s- ical and athletic development than anything else. At Pingry the emphasis has always been on good sportsmanship and fair play rather than on winning only for the sake of being victorious. With this emphasis, boys learn to do their best and to give of themselves to their team and school. This principle has always been behind the coaches, method of training and has helped to make the athletic program so successful.

During the winter months the gymnasium and swimming pool accommodate a variety of athletic activities in which the students participate. Other than the teams and squads, there are two athletic groups in which boys take part. One group, the Athletic Executive Committee, is made up of the captains, managers, and coaches of all varsity teams. lt deals with training rules, athletic policies, and other matters. The Cheerleaders make up the other group. These boys do a valuable job in arousing the school spirit of spectators at athletic contests, their pep and spirit make students keep interest in school teams. Not only students with natural talents benefit from Pingry's athletic program. All boys. whether or not they are on varsity teams, progress according to their abilities and get a great deal of fun and enjoyment out of their athletics as well. With the spirit, sportsmanship, and whole-heartec. participation of the student body, the athletic program has always been a great success. First row, left to right: Leavens, ldrner, Eichhorn.

Lesneski, in his first year as head coach of varsity football, and Atherton Bristol, the Big Blue turned in another winning record, finishing the season with live wins and two losses. This year's squad, though small and crippled with injuries, had plenty of talent. The linemen drew needed inspiration from Captain Bob Shippee, who was always in the enemy secondary defense. Along with Shippee on the line were Fred Schweizer, Ted Hauser, Dick Windatt, Louis Ruprecht, and Mike Zuckerman. Don Pettit held down the center slot. The squad,s quarterback was Ricky Richardson, who passed for ten touchdowns to ends Bob Meyer and Bon Diamond and to wingback Ed Conk. Mac Hall supplied the power at fullback and John Luther the speed at tailback. Gene Shea also saw plenty of action and was always a stalwart on defense. The Lesmen traveled to George School in Pennsylvania for the first win of the season, 14-7. The following week the squad went to Tarrytown, New York, to defeat Hackley School 14--0 in the wettest game of the season. Two weeks later, on October 22, the Big Blue took its first defeat at the hands of Admiral Farragut Academy, 6-0. End Tackle Tackle Clulfd BOB MEYER LOU RUPRECHT TED HAUSER DICK WINDATT 1 ff -ff!

Plagued by the loss in graduation of last year's high scoring, all-county play er, Herb Busch, Coach Les, at the beginning of this yearis basketball season, had the ardu- ous task of developing a winning team. Although the bulk of last year's record-breaking team was returning: lid Conk, Captain Ricky Richardson, Russ Meyer, and Walker Lockett, it was evident that Busch. who averaged 33.5 points per game. would be sorely missed. ln the initial games of the season, Mr. Les tried to find the winning combination by experimenting freely with the remaining squad members: Rob Long, Hugh Kellogg. llick liassin, Ray Londa, John Luther, Jake Jacobson. Neil Burke, and Bill llolman. From this group Bob Long, under the watchful eye of Mr. Les, developed into a fine pivot man and one of the team's high scorers. The opening seven games of the season found the Big Blue at the short end of all but one, Stevens Hoboken. ln these first contests. although Captain Rick Richardson and playmaker Ed Conk compiled high scores, and though Russ Meyer ably cleared the boards, the Lesmen could not quite overcome their high-scoring opponents. As the season progressed. the team showed notable improvement on both offense and defense and functioned more like the squad of last year. A vast difference in the teams play was observed in a return encounter with Adelphi Academy as the Pingry men avenged a previous rout. 56-51, Bob Long provided the tap for Pingry with Ed Conk maneu- vering the plays and Rick Richardson. Russ Meyer, and llugh Kellogg starring both offensively and defensively. Throughout the season the team showed this con- tinual improvement and proved itself formidable oppo- nents against many outstanding teams.

The untiring labor and tutelage of coaches Edward W. Cissel and Richard C. Weiler and the enthusiastic and inspiring leadership of Captain Bob Jewett, who smashed the school record in the individual medley with the time of 11436, were major contributions to the success and the elevated spirit of the team. For many a long hour the team swam laps and had strenuous workouts in the pool in order to get themselves in prime condition and to improve the coordination of their strokes to the fullest possible extent. All the above constituents went toward making possible the individual and group prosperity of the team as a whole. Two of the Big Blue Swimming Team's most out- standing achievements in its regular season were its over- weighing of the Westfield Mermen by the score of Milf: to 36IQ and its placing first in the lvnion County Inter- scholastic Swimming Nleet over teams from Plainfield, Westfield and other bnion County Schools. Dual-meet rivals, such as Poly Prep, Horace Mann, Plainfield High School, and Seton Hall Academy, also succumbed to the Cisselmen and thus showed the great depth and incom- parable will-to-win of this yearls team.

Fitch and Mr. lfverett YY. Newcomb, ended the '55-'56 winter season with a record of five wins and seven losscs against a tif-ld of strong opponents. The matmen gained two easy victories over North Plainfield High School and Cranford High School in the first matches ofthe season bv 31-16 and 22-13 scores. llowev er, in the next matches the team met top-notch competition and suc- cumbed to l'lainfic-ld High School and Morris- town High School bv the respective scores of 11- 25 and 14-26. Next. the wrestlers overwhelmed Riverdale High School by the score of 41-8 only to lose the next four matches to Peddie School 16-25, Hillside High School 12-31, Poly Prep School 20-25 and George School 12-25. This string of losses was followed by two very im- pressive victories-one over St. Benedicfs Prep by a 30-15 score and the other over our arch rival Jelferson High School by a decisive 3-L-6 score. In the last interschool match of the season the wrestlers lost to a verv strong Admiral Farra- gut team 16-30. Despite the not-too-impressive win-loss record of this year's team, the line-up was filled with outstanding talent such as Captain Fred Schwei- zer, Ted Hauser, Mac Coggin. Cary Stass, Mark Forrester, Jack Angell and next yearis captain- elect Gene Shea. The spirit and enthusiasm which embellished the team the entire season was ably displayed in the Headmasters, and Coaches, Wres- tling Tournament at Lawrenceville at the end of the season. The team had four finalists in the tournament. One finalist. Fred Schweizer, was victorious in the heavy-weight division, thus being the first state wrestling champion Pingry has pro- duced. Next yearis team, which will be under the leadership of Gene Shea, will rely upon veterans Jack Angell, Rick Scharninghausen, Doug Kerr, Pete Schutz, Chuck Klein, Kelly Hale, and Paul Sproul. ff 49 ' .

With nine out of twelve lettermen returning, the team will be strong in most events. Mac Coggin will be turning on the speed for the 100 and 220 sprints, and Captain Strauss will do the same in the 220 and 440. The squad has yet to prove its strength in the half mile and mile events after the loss of Red McMartin. last year's captain. but Don Van Duyne, George Champlin and John McCobb will try to fill his shoes in the half mile, and '6Tex', Crawford and ,lim Palmer will run the mile. Charlie Collins. Pete O,Brien, and Bill Fort will be adding their strength to the hurdle events which were new at Pingry last year. Pingry will be strong again this year in the high jump with Dick Deyo and Bob Boyd returning to take up where they left oil last year. Coggin and Deyo will contribute their talents to the team in the broad jump. while Bob Stanger and Chuck Klein will continue to show their prowess in the pole vault. Pingry's strength in the weights centers around Fred Schweizer. Rick Scharninghausen, and Gaines McNlartin, who holds the school record in the discus. Doug Kerr will add his strength to the discus, and Kirby Conway will put his muscle into the javelin. 102 TRACK I. A L... Captain Strauss Captain Lockett TENNIS This year's tennis team, ably captained by Walker Lock- ett, should have one of the most powerful aggregations in school history. All the lettermen from last year's squad, which had a 14--1 record, are returning and should now be more experienced and better players. Mr. Brett Boocock, who will be taking up the reins of last yearis coach, Mr. Maroney, will definitely help the team with his valuable knowledge of tactics and conditioning. New to the schedule this year is one of the perennial powers of New Jersey tennis, Lawrenceville, and this team will undoubtedly provide the toughest competition. Poly Prep, who was responsible for the team's only 1955 loss, Westfield, George, Peddie, Newark, Scarborough, and many others will provide ample competition for the tennismen throughout the season. Other returning varsity lettermen from last year's squad such as Bob Burks, Bob Pyle, Curt Champlin, John Leathers, Dick Auerbach, and Larry Holden plus minor lettermen as Wright Patterson and Sterling Louthan should certainly compile an enviable record this Spring.

STUDE T OUNCIL The Student Council is an organization which well exemplifies and puts to work real Pingry spirit. The Council exists solely for the benefit of the students, both as individuals and as a whole. It is the Councilis duty to uphold the Honor System and to take appropriate action with offenders. The Student Council does not make it a practice to punish Honor Code violators but rather to help them see their mistakes and change their attitude. Besides dealing with Honor System viola- tions, this year's Student Council undertook many projects beneficial to the school. The Council sponsored the sale of new school ties and Pingry blazers, and it generously gave money, as it has in the past. to the Visual-Aids Committee and to the Athletic Department. ln addition, the Student Council again this year sponsored busses to athletic contests and ran the annual school charity drive. Members of the Sixth Form always hold the positions of oiiicers in the Council. This year's President was Grosvenor Richardson, also President of the Sixth Form, head of the stu- dent body, and Chairman of the Athletic Ex- ecutive Committee. The posts of Secretary and of Treasurer of the Council were held by Ed- ward Hauser and by Frederick Schweizer, who alternated positions in the two semesters. we C M AUDE This year marks the thirtieth year in which Pingry has been a member of the Cum Laude Society, a national organiza- tion founded in 1906. The main function of this group is to honor superior scholastic achievement on the high school level. The Society is composed of both teachers and boys. The ofiicial positions of presi- dent and secretary are alternated among the teachers, and the boys are elected each year at Commencement. Ten percent of the Fifth Form and an additional ten percent of the graduating Sixth Form are eligible for membership provided that their schol- astic averages are at least eighty-five during the two years prior to their election. ln the ceremony of induction, the new members receive certificates and gold keys. Besides the honor of belonging to this select group. several privileges are extended to its members. Freedom to study any- where in the building during study hall periods and permission to write a thesis in any one subject in place of doing the final two months of the year's work in that sub- ject are two important examples. 1 1 First row, left to right: Jewett.

Goggin's direct assistants comprised the edi- torial board, who compiled the articles, laid out the paper, wrote headlines and distributed the finished product. Chief among these were the Managing Editors, Robert Burks and Rob- ert Pyle. who supervised the first page and the Sports Editor, Robert Meyer, who, working in conjunction with the Associate Sports Editor, Ricky Richardson, handled the sports page. The Associate Editors, John English, Richard Goldberg, Fred Mayer and Robert Rettig split the duties connected with the second and fourth pages.

The distribution of the Record to students, alumni and other schools was directed by the Circulation Manager, James Dickson. The remainder of the staff included news and sports writers, photogra- phers, cartoonists, business associates, copy editors and circulation associates. This year's Record featured a new column Jazz J abberi' which described the history of jazz in the United States and spotlighted the careers of several of the outstanding jazz mu- sicians. Other features were the '56 Picks which offered short biographies of outstanding seniors and, an editorial column known as Off the Record in which the editors gave their views on situations arising from school life. Again this year the Record received a first-place rating in the Columbia Press Asso- ciation competition. THE PI GRY RECORD 'Zh 2- te .--' -. , - t .Du 8' 1 1 - .

OB ER ER Since its inauguration four years ago, the Middle School Observer, with Mr. Richard Baldwin as adviser, has given members of the Middle School the opportunity of taking part in a project which prepares them for active parts in Upper School publications. The work is done entirely by the boys themselves, for they write and plan the paper, and it is printed in school. Besides school activities, such as plays. concerts. sports events, and Middle School news, the paper has a page of world news, a joke page, and a hobby page. In addition, there is a page devoted to creative writing, such as poems, short stories, and even serials, all by the boys. Headed by Co-Editors Peter Iohannsen and Bill Wertheimer, the Observer comes out every two weeks, and it contributes a great deal toward the development and preparation of the Middle Schoolers for the long, hard pull ahead of them. THE H DBOOK The purpose of the Pingry Handbook is twofold. X Firstly, it serves as a convenient source of informa- tion to which students may refer for information concerning faculty, schedule, class ofhcers, extra- curricular activities, teams, and cheers. Secondly, it interprets school policy and practice as regards such matters as the Honor System, Honor Code, chapel, library, study hall, and driving to school. Meeting several times during the summer vaca- tion, the stall. composed of Co-Editors Stanley Stevinson and Jay Woolsey and the faculty advisor, Mr. Casmir A. France, compiled information per- taining to the Handbook, meeting a deadline before the middle of August. Then it was sent by mail to all students before school opened for the Fall Term.

Not everyone reading the 1956 Blue Book will realize the time and effort that have gone into its production. Since before the opening of school in September. all available time- conference periods. evenings, Saturdays, and every other free moment-has been put to use in the effort to put out a publication de- scribing what Pingry Spirit is. The task of organizing went by nature to the Editor-in- Chief. Bob Jewett. who has also arranged to oversee the entire operation. Assisting Bob in the post of Managing Editor was Walker Lock- ett, and as Associate Editors were Fred Mayer. Robert Pyle. and Jay Woolseyg Robert Mur- phy held down the position of Copy Editor, while Stan Stevenson worked as Circulation Manager. Don Pettit, Photography Editor, co-ordinated all pictures taken by the photog- raphy staff, headed by Associate Photography Editor Charlie Minot. Cary Stass served as Business Manager and, assisted by Robert Schweizer, made ends meet. The entire publi- cation was under the supervision of Mr. Gerald C. Johnson. A great many boys wrote articles and did various kinds of work for the book, but their names are too numerous to mention. We sincerely hope that the Blue Book will offer many happy reminiscences to those who read it and will indicate the schools finest quality, Pingry Spirit. ass. Jewett, Stevinson, Mr. Johnson, R.

Baldwin. the club practiced once each week in preparation for the thrce concerts it presented during the school year. The purpose of the Clee Club is to give students experience in four-part group singing to help toward later singing in college and community life. In addition. valuable experience in reading music at sight is gained. During the past year the officers were: Cy Smith, Presidentg Fred Schweizer, Secretary- Treasurerg and Bob Pyle, librarian and ac- companist. The club had three successful con- certs during the second semester with local girls, schools. culminating the months of prep- aration. A newly formed small singing group, the 'gBaker's Dozen, also participated in the concerts. First row, left to right: C. Bunting, D. Rogers, Walter, Archibald WSUDEII Delfausse, Reichart.

During study periods, members are often called upon to show outsiders our fine school. While performing a great service to the school, the Blue Key receives little public recognition for its highly valued contributions to the suc- cess of Pingry. si-Y mi WOOL 'den' Blue K ey Prem CHESS CLUB Again this year much in- terest was shown in the Chess Club, and the year was counted an outstanding suc- cess by all concerned, in spite of the fact that meet- ings throughout the year were irregular. So many ca- pable students turned out to play that, for the second year in succession, a team was formed and matches were played with other schools in the Union County Inter- scholastic Chess Association, among them Thomas Jeffer- son High School, Cranford High School, Plainfield High School, Hun School, and Union High School. The club attained a successful balance of wins and losses, much of the credit for this good season must go to the faculty advisor, Mr. Casmir A. France, for his expert guidance, and to Edward and James Yorke for their leadership as President and Secretary-Treasurer, respec- tively. If next year results in as much pure enjoyment as this year, it will certainly be a complete success. CH PEL CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Herbert H. Hahn, the Chapel Committee provides volunteer speakers for the religious portions of the daily chapel exercises. On Mondays and Fridays brief programs are led by boys individually. On Wed- nesdays an outside speaker is usually brought in, but often a boy or teacher will lead the program instead. Representing the faculty on the Committee, besides Mr. Hahn, is Mr. Edmund A. LeFevre. There are also three boys from the Sixth Form, two from the Fifth Form, and one each from the Fourth Form and Third Form. First row, left to right: Wortley Montfort J. Yorke.

This yearis organization, under the guidance of Mr. Theodore L. Mayhew, has had the opportunity to see Spanish movies and to read magazines and newspapers. This extra- curricular work is beneficial to students be- cause it provides an invaluable opportunity to use and to speak practical, everyday Spanish. FRE CH CL B The French Club, under the direction of Mr. Gerald C. Johnson, was composed of boys desiring a greater opportunity to hear and use oral French, and to become familiar with vari- ous aspects of French culture. It was divided this year into Senior and Junior sections, with Dick Auerbach and Jack Angell the respective presidents. During the year the boys attended a performance of the world-famous Comedie Francaise, viewed a series of movies and dis- plays from the French Embassy, conversed, and sang songs.

CTT USIC CLUB ITIE The Music Club is a rapidly growing organization, instituted for the purpose of teaching the boys the value of good music. Meetings are held once a week in order to listen to and criticize both classical and popular compositions. Once a month the members hold a jam session, listening to such jazz and pops as Spike Jones, Benny Goodman, and the Boston Pops Orchestra.

On tive extra-special evenings throughout the school year. the school was magically' transformed into a holiday' paradise. tuned to the imaginations and pleasures of the many' couples who attended. The Dance Committee made its debut with the presentation of a mystical South Sea island atmos- phere, incorporating a real-life alittle grass shacki, complemented by a small island sporting several fifteen-foot palms. which swayed gently to the ro- mantic strains ol Ben Cutler's outstanding orchestra. Couples topped by colorful cllapeazzx, especially ob- tained for the occasion. engaged in the age-old Hawaiian custom of making hay' while the moon shinesf, Returning to school in the fall. the Committee turned the school topsy'-turvy with a novel air-borne football field. beneath which Les Yanderhof sere- naded a huddle of football and soccer figures. much to the pleasure of the attending teams. spectators, and their admirers. This affair turned out a great success. and the evening cliinaxed a spirited season to perfection. Only' a short month later, the student body' was greatly amazed to find the gym wearing the unusual garb of a mountain cabin of gigantic proportions. One end of the gym was completely' covered by an enormous fireplace. from whose cavernous depths bounded Santa Cy' Smith closely followed by the melodic strains of Mike Forman's excellent band, reproducing old Christmas favorites and many ro- mantic melodies. The desired result was effected: the Christmas dance put everyone who attended it in the right holiday mood to begin the gay' season. Valentines Day is a high spot in every' year. This year many couples spent a terrifhc night in the dining room. appropriately decorated for the occa- sion. Overhead. hearts danced gaily to the music provided by lien l,udlow's very popular band. and on the dance floor couples made the most of the wonderful music and company. The enjoyable in- formality' of the occasion was augmented by an innovation at this yearis dances. free refreshments. which were well received at every dance. For the first time. the Whitlock Room was opened to couples seeking quiet asylum from the crowded dance f'loor. lvndoubtedly. the acme of the Class of '56 Dance Committee's scintillating service was the annual in- 1- Set 'em up Dancing in the dark Sigh. 1 l lil it it eff., Q?
