THE PINGRY REVIEW
W
ith this issue of The Pingry Review, we celebrate its 75th year of publication, and its rightful place among other award-winning independent school magazines across the country. Preceded by a newsletter (the Pingry Alumni Bulletin), The Review officially launched in May 1944—just a month before the Normandy invasion, in the midst of World War II—and its early issues reveal an undoubted effort to keep the community informed about alumni in the armed forces and those who lost their lives. Moreover, during a time of tremendous global turmoil, it was a way to keep the School’s alumni body connected. While other wars and tumultuous events, both domestic and overseas, have come to pass since that first issue, the magazine’s primary mission continues—keeping alumni connected to each other and to Pingry. While the editorial staff was combing through issue after issue for this 75-year retrospective, we were cognizant that, yes, the last three-quarters of a century of history, not to mention Pingry history, have influenced the content of the magazine. But the magazine has its own history—its own evolution—which is just as distinct. We sought to highlight that stylistic and editorial progression and share it with our readers: from “News of the Alumni” to “Class Notes”; from brief news updates to longer essays to fulllength stories; from monochrome to color. In short, the modernization of the magazine has occurred in tandem with the School’s, and, all the while, the Review has served as its artistic expression, a physical reflection not simply of the people who comprise this community, but its culture and spirit. So, enjoy this “review of the Review” from 75 years’ worth of magazines . . .

75 YEARS OF THE PINGRY REVIEW
“The Pingry Review has shown me the growth of the school from an all-boys school in an old mansion on Parker Road to a college-like campus in north Jersey . . . on its way to what it is today and coed. I like the change from a paper-like format to a magazine style.” —CHARLES MAC DONALD ’51
“Over the years, The Pingry Review has become a truly topnotch publication on a par with the magazine I get from UNC. It is laid out in a very professional manner.” —FRANCIS RICHARDS ’58

“The Pingry Review has allowed me to stay connected in several ways, including keeping up with students from my class and era, following how Pingry has changed or has not changed over the years, and understanding Pingry as it is today. It is required reading.” —DOUG SMITH ’64
“[The magazine is] my only significant connection. Without it, the school could have moved itself to Arizona for all I might have known!” —JOHN MURCHIE ’62 Coverage of the first Reunion.
On the cutting edge! The June 1966 issue marked the first time that the magazine started to consistently include longer articles. Previously, most content was presented in shorter write-ups of about a column. 16

From “An Assessment of Girls Athletics at Pingry” by Rob Hall ’54: “There is a vitality in Pingry’s girls’ athletics that is almost tangible. Credit for bringing the program from a zero point 12 years ago to where it is today is due at many levels. The Trustees’ total commitment to successful coeducation has effectively flowed to Pingry’s administration and staff. Ultimately it is the coaching staff and Pingry’s girls who should be applauded.”

Note from the Editor With this issue, we introduce a new design of The Pingry Review. Just as the Pingry web site has been redesigned to be more engaging and easier to navigate, so, too, has the magazine. We hope you find that the larger photos and new graphic design make the content even more enjoyable. Your feedback is always welcome!
Corrections from the September 2013 issue A Commencement picture on page 16 showed Brian Li â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13, not Steven Sun â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13. In a photo from the Washington, D.C. College Luncheon on page 80, Elisse Park â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10 was misidentified as Sarah Park â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12. The Pingry Review is the official magazine of The Pingry School, with the primary purpose of disseminating alumni, school, faculty, and staff news and information. The editor tries to ensure the timeliness of each issue. Due to printing and production deadlines, this edition contains major events that happened by December 20, 2013. Occurrences after that date will be included in the next issue. Comments can be sent to the editor at The Pingry School, 131 Martinsville Road, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 or gwaxberg@pingry.org.

Rather than focus on a single aspect of aid at Pingry, or delve into the nuts and bolts of the application process, much of which is readily available on the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, we decided instead to zoom out, illuminate the bigger picture, and address some of the most common uncertainties.

Ask the Archivist Introducing Digital Archivist Peter Blasevick
Mr. Blasevick’s critical work as Archivist has led to the documentation and preservation of Pingry history, notably for the Athletics Hall of Fame.
Why does Pingry need a digital archivist, and what is your primary project? For a place like Pingry that has been around for 150-plus years, there is value in the institution’s history. You don’t want to forget who people were. My main project is to archive team photos, collect information about the photos, build a digital repository to permanently save all of the information, and get everything ready for digital displays in the School’s athletics hallways and—a much larger purpose—for a searchable database for the Athletics Hall of Fame in the Miller A. Bugliari ’52 Athletics Center. What does “digital archivist” mean? Digital archivists preserve materials in a digital format and are responsible for knowing which formats are going to be used in the future and being ready to migrate documents to those formats. It is important for digital archivists to know the “best practices” in the industry. For example, photos are usually saved in two versions—an “archival copy,” the highest quality, and a “presentation format,” sm ssmal maa ler m eerr aand nd n d mo m oree ea eeasily asily siily iilly ttrans tra rans ranssm miiitta mitt mitta itttasmaller more transmittable over er the er thee In IInternet, ntterne tern ter te eern er erne rne rrn ne net,t, such net, ssu ucch h as as a jpeg. jjp peg. g.
