@Gordon, indeed it’s the Yawn And Racket Club. “The Yawn And Racket Club, whose neurotic inception derives from the slovenly bequest of a moribund squash racket and numerous a.m. courses, is unquestionably the most periodically defunct organization in Princeton.” @Austin, the life preserver reads “Princeton Summer Camp”.
These pictures are great. My local used bookstore has a lot of old yearbooks. I have spent a fair share of my time in there looking over them. They have so many pictures to offer!
Was that really called the “yawn and racquet club” or is it a typo…funny either way.
Can anyone make out the words on the life preserver? I wonder where that photo was taken. Maybe Blairstown (which would be Bass Lake, I believe)?

Whatever happened to group photos with finely dressed individuals holding hilarious props? I demand they make a come back!
Four of those Y&RC gents have pipes and one has a bottle of champagne. I say, that’s precisely the right sort.

I prefer jazz band and sailing.
I hope these gentlemen, now in their eighties, still dress as well.
