The 1902 Emblem<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n
\n
\n

The Class of 1902 Emblem is awarded to Josephine Cummings of the Class of 2018, who, while at The Pingry School, by the efficiency and the amount of service\u00a0and loyalty of attitude has done the most for the school, and who has been judged therefore by schoolfellows and\u00a0faculty to have shown of them all the greatest amount of\u00a0school spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Class of 1902 Emblem represents the highest ideals of The Pingry School. The nominees chosen by their classmates\u00a0and faculty are considered to embody the very principles of integrity and service that lie at the heart of the institution. Thus, even to be nominated for this award is regarded as a\u00a0paramount honor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In every class, there is one student who graciously gives of him\/herself to help theschool and fellow students, who demonstrates a personal integrity and generosity that inspire thebest in others. This person\u2019s own achievements are many, yet his\/her sense of purpose is to the greater good. While others may be identi ed as”the student most likely to succeed,” this person is prized as “the student who helps all succeed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nWhat I\u2019ll Take Away: <\/span><\/strong>It\u2019s about how hard you work, not the end product. My most ful lling classes were de nitely not my best grades. Separately, it\u2019s not all about working. Taking time for yourself and whatever makes you happy is the key to staying on track.

What you\u2019ll take away: <\/span><\/strong>The amazing community I\u2019ve met at Pingry, from friends to teachers to coaches. Coming to Pingry sophomore year was the best decision of my life.
\nWhat piece of advice would you give to under- classmen? <\/strong><\/span>You\u2019re so lucky to be attending Pingry. Make the most of it by getting to know your teach- ers and the rest of the students. Don\u2019t be afraid to try new things or talk to someone you don\u2019t know. Also, you can always relearn coursework, but you can never re-attend the party you missed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nFavorite Memory at Pingry: <\/strong><\/span>Winning Prep Championships and seeing the entire girls swim team at the edge of the pool cheering on our team- mates. It was amazing to see everyone swimming their fastest and showing great sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ll Take Away:<\/strong> <\/span>I have learned to havecon dence in the work I do because Pingry hastaught me that if I put the time and effort into my work, I will see the results.
\nWhat Piece of Advice Would You Give to Underclassmen?:<\/strong> <\/span>Don\u2019t be scared to join different clubs and talk to new people, you never know when else you will have this opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nCollege Plans: <\/strong><\/span>Northeastern University!!!
\nCareer Possibilities: <\/strong><\/span>Itinerant surgeon serving underprivileged areas abroad, A judge after that
\nFavorite Memory at Pingry: <\/strong><\/span>The day I gave my speech on honor for the Honor Board Speaker Series, I was also asked to provide the closing word for The Pingry Review. Everyone around me was so supportive and so wonderful and I truly felt the Pingry love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I\u2019ll Take Away:<\/strong> <\/span>Growing up, I was notoriously shy and kept to myself (it was written in every single report card comment I had received in elementary school). By being at Pingry and learning from the people I look up to in this environment, I have been able to step out of my bubble and get to know more of the people in our community. I will take away my newfound passion for wanting to know more about people in my life that I might not have stopped to talk to before, whether that be a teacher or a maintenance worker or a student I smile at every day in the halls.
\nWhat Piece of Advice Would You Give to Underclassmen?:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Say \u201cYES\u201d more. During my junior year, I decided that I would \u201csay yes\u201d and sign up for almost everything announced at each morning meeting- whether that be an Outing Club campout or a Bridges Run or an opening for an FYI SCI position. That is how I got involved with 90% of the activities I participate in today- I can\u2019t imagine how dull my life would be without that. Also, go tothe after-talks\/ discussions for every in uential speaker at Pingry.It\u2019s a whole other presentation in itself and the wealth of knowledge you can attain from these people is unbelievable. So just ask yourteachers to go and let the in uence ensue! You never know whatpiece of advice can change the path of your life forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trademark Characteristics:<\/strong> <\/span>Avid proponent of whole- some memes, hummus memes, and dog memes. I am always running in the hallways probably because I think I\u2019m late because my watch is two minutes ahead of the Pingry clocks.

College Plans: <\/strong><\/span>Wellesley College<\/p>\n

Career Possibilities:<\/strong> <\/span>I am obsessed with ophthalmol- ogy and world languages, hopefully I do something that combines the two.<\/p>\n

Favorite Memory at Pingry:<\/strong><\/span> That\u2019s hard, but it\u2019s most likely the day the girl\u2019s XC team came third at states this past fall. I had nothing to do with the win, but I was so proud to see my peers attain their goals together and be a witness of the culmination of everyone\u2019s hard work. It made me so proud as a young woman and Pingrian. I also really loved the mornings I spent in the Chemistryand Physics of ce with Mr. Grant and the coolest groupof teachers ever, they made a tough year so much better without realizing it. Another was when my hummus pa- nini didn\u2019t stick to the parchment paper sophomore year, it hasn\u2019t happened since. Sorry, I didn\u2019t stick to only one.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ll Take Away:<\/strong> <\/span>The wonderful educational ex- periences I had with all of my teachers, I am eternally grateful for them. Also, a fork from the cafeteria.<\/p>\n

What Piece of Advice Would You Give to Underclassmen?:<\/strong> <\/span>I cannot give just one piece so here are two: talk to everyone, give every person and every thing a shot, you never know who or what could positively impact you. Also, eat well, drink water, and take no one\u2019s non- sense, you have a world to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Favorite Memory at Pingry: <\/strong><\/span>There are so many, but two that stand out are the senior peer leadership retreat in June or singing \u201cMaybe I\u2019m Crazy\u201d and \u201cPhoenix\u201d with our entire grade on the last day before winter break and ISP.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ll Take Away:<\/strong> <\/span>Getting to know people and having meaningful conversations with them is more important than any academic or extracurricular accomplishment or accolade. In other words, it\u2019s nice to be important, but it is way more important to be nice. Every single person at Pingry has a story, and there is something really cool and unique to be learned by everyone about everyone if you let yourself do so.<\/p>\n

What Piece of Advice Would You Give to Underclassmen?:<\/strong> <\/span>Your happiness, stress, sadness, or excitement is just as valid as the person next to you. Don\u2019t compare yourself to others, because you are just as worthy of success and even of failure as the people you surround yourself with. Also, go to as many games, concerts, performances, and research exhibits as you can, and just try to get to know as many people as you can. It\u2019s really cool to see your classmates get excited about the things they love, and it\u2019s really inspiring to know that you are surrounded by a generation of future change makers. You\u00a0never know what or who you will nd that will impact\u00a0your life in the most random yet meaningful way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Favorite Memory at Pingry:<\/strong> <\/span>Playing on the World Cupeld with all of my sisters from PGS<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ll Take Away:<\/strong> <\/span>Some of the best friendships and most interesting people! And if you set your mind on a goal, the path to get there may not be straight, and you may not even reach it. But if you keep working at it, you\u2019ll look back on the growth you\u2019ve achieved and be a better person for it.<\/p>\n

What Piece of Advice Would You Give to Underclassmen?:<\/strong> <\/span>Find out what you\u2019re good at, and try to capitalize on it as much as possible. It not only will help you be successful, but will also give you something positive to add to the Pingry community. And while you go through high school, it\u2019s easy to fall into the trap of being focused on your individual pursuits. Try and break out ofthat mold and be sel ess with your actions. Take time tolearn about other people and build lasting relationships because at the end of the day, those are what matter most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
