Pingry Announces Plans for 150th Anniversary 4 the pingry review To formally recognize the school’s 150th anniversary and its extraordinary transformation from a small school for boys to one of the nation’s premier co-educational independent day schools, Pingry will host a Sesquicentennial Celebration from May 2011 to May 2012. Headmaster Nat Conard P ’09, ’11 has appointed Special Assistant to the Headmaster Miller Bugliari ’52, P ’86, ’90, ’97, GP ’20 to serve as Chair of the Sesquicentennial Celebration to oversee this effort and help outline plans to commemorate the anniversary. The committee has begun organizing events that will celebrate the school’s intellectual rigor and development of student character. “I’m proud to play a leadership role during this significant milestone in Pingry’s history,” Mr. Bugliari says. The committee—consisting of alumni, current and past parents, and grandparents, as well as representatives from Communications, Alumni and Development, the library, the faculty and staff at the Lower School in Short Hills and the Middle and Upper Schools at the Martinsville Campus—has offered many creative ideas, while also welcoming suggestions from all constituents of the greater school community. Major events planned for the Sesquicentennial include an Alumni Kick-Off Celebration scheduled for May 13, 2011, which will feature the premiere of an anniversary film; a Sesquicentennial Speakers Series featuring notable speakers, such as prominent leaders in their respective fields; the unveiling of historical items from the archives; an outdoor gala during Reunion in May 2012 for graduates of Pingry and Short Hills Country Day School; and a series of student-focused events and activities. In addition, a historical coffee table book and beautifully-illustrated children’s book will be published. Mr. Conard is looking forward to the 150th anniversary and the opportunity it affords Pingry to celebrate its history and its service to Bernards Township and the wider community. “Our sesquicentennial celebration will give us the Honorary Trustee William S. Beinecke ’31, P ’61, ’64, a member of the Sesquicentennial Honorary Committee, and Special Assistant to the Headmaster Miller Bugliari ‘52, P ’86, ’90, ’97, GP ’20, Chair of the Sesquicentennial Celebration. opportunity to reflect on how Pingry has evolved over the decades, to celebrate a shared experience, and rededicate ourselves to the educational vision that has sustained Pingry since its founding in 1861,” he says.

Memorabilia Letters to the Editor Regarding the “Letter to the Editor” in the latest Review from Ed Cissel ’39, I wish to amend his statement that there are three living members of the Lower School who were there for six years under Harriet Budd’s leadership. To my knowledge, there is at least one more living member and that is me. I started in Grade 1 in 1922 and attended all grades in the Lower School. - Charles W. Halsey ’34 In the newest edition of The Pingry Review, under “Letters to the editor,” Eddie Cissel ’39 wrote about [the] Lower School under Miss Budd. He mentioned several classmates of the Lower School still around. Well, I started under Miss Budd in Grade 1 and continued thru Grade 6, and I am still breathing. Mrs. Clayton and her husband were patients of mine after I returned from the service. Her maiden name when she was teaching was Miss Mellon. - Bob Brenner ’38 Kindly add my name to Ed Cissel’s list of living members of the Lower School who were there for six years under the leadership of Miss Budd. Clayton Jones ’35 and I started Grade 1 in September 1923. Several years ago, the Fifty-Year Club Luncheon had as its guest Miss Clayton, and we sat at the same table. - Samuel L. M. Cole ’35 We are grateful to many members of the Pingry community who, over the years, have donated memorabilia that will be on display for the 150th anniversary celebrations. Pictured on this page are four of the items, and we continue to look for more treasures. If you would like to contribute to the celebration, please contact 150th Anniversary Coordinator Lynne Brum at lbrum@pingry.org or (908) 647-7058, ext. 1295.
