CLASS ln the fall of 1948, four trembling boys en- tered the First Grade room in the old school. Greeting Mrs. Wasasier were Rob Gibby, who was born with a silver Mexican speed-wrench in his hand, Carl Haines, who shovels it fastest by virtue of vocation, Terry Montgomery, the man who never returned, and Skip, the elephant, Reitman. As we moved to the second grade, these stalwarts were met by Pete, print that in your rag, Johannsen and Jim Whitlock, who was accepted at Princeton after the first mark- ing period. Joining us as we moved upstairs to the third grade was Dave, the Aug, Berenson. Jay Ken- nedy, the heart-throb of Vail-Deane, and Dave Speno, who just sold Mr. Hahn to the New York Football Giants for an undisclosed amount, en- tered in the fourth grade. As kings of the Lower School in Mrs. Vars' fifth grade, we were ioined by John Rush, who lately has been trying to teach chemistry to a shark, and Scott, Scrooge, Trull. As these eleven nervous boys made their way to the Middle School, then known as Varsville, their number was doubled by the addition of the students from the outlying districts of Sum- mit, Short Hills, Secaucus, and Moscow. Entering in the Sixth Grade were: Jim Egan, who iust plain knows it all, Frank Franklin, who iust plain nose it all, Dave Hixson, the Earl of Bernards- ville, Rusty Hyde, the only boy in the class to have a charge account at the Livingston Drive-ln, Frank Kaphan, who owns a boat, or is it two boats, or three ? ? ? , Paul Knoke, the Class of '60's own major domo, John Manley, who owes the town of Ocean Grove one fire hydrant, Jim Marx, who is running for president in 1964, Ridge Prevost, the fastest thing on two wheels, and Jay Wortley, who knows where the yellow went. In the First Form the ranks were again swelled by: Larry Clayton, Pingry's representative to the Plainfield Country Club, Rett Foster, whose mother runs a boarding house for the Unholy Five, John Green, more commonly known as the Spider, followed closely by Tom Johnson, Ernie May, a do-it-yourself organist, Steve Meyer, who
