Donald T. Kasper Dormifory Council 6: Glee Club 6: Foofball Varsify 67 Soccer J. V. 6: Baskefball Varsify 6: Baseball Varsify 63 Track 6. A nafive of Norfh Tonawanda, N. Y., Don Kasper came Soufh fhis year fo become a member of Riverdale's upsfafe clan. Quickly esfablishing himself as an oufsfanding foofball player, probably fhe besf in fhe school's hisfory, Don furfher proved his versafilify by being elecfed fo fhe Dorm council a few weeks affer his arrival. Confinuing his afhlefic prowess fhrough fhe year, Dome also managed fo garner a fine scholasfic record for himself and fo lend a fine high fenor voice fo fhe Glee Club. We wish Don fhe besf possible suc- cess af Columbia and beyond and we feel sure fhaf we shall hear of him soon again.

Bud wafches fhe world wifh whaf l am sure is infended fo be an safirical eye. ln anyone else fhis elaborafe irony would mosf cerfainly fail fo come off. Bud, however, is of sferner sfuff. He need only murmur, Bifferl and fhe foemen refire in confusion, As our firsf epee man, Bud ferror- izes opponewfs wifh a malignanf composure remin- iscenf of fhe spider in The Thief of Bagdad. Be- fore wrifing fhis, we decided fo wafch him, fo see if we mighf nof happen upon fhe raw maferial of some sfunning observafion, and we were sfruck wifh 'rhe charm and frequency of his smile. Yef Bud is no backslapping exfroverf. Even in fhe democracy of group singing, he is our only soloisf. YALE U31

Myles F. Herberf Glee Club 63 Review 4, 5, 67 Soccer J. V. 65 Fencing Var- sify 5, 6, J. v. 4. Myles is fhis year's candidafe for fhe liffle genius award. Every year has ifs liffle genius as an exulfanf succession of yearbooks will fesfify. This sorf of fhing, however, seemed banal even amidsf fhe enfhusiasfic banalifies of a yearbook. Brillianf made us fhink of lampy eyes and Walf Disney: impish was foo cufeg and, well, fo be safe, we seffled on infelligenf, uncomforfable in- felligenf. As if being Huncomforfably infelligenf were nof enough, Myies is a finished, fhough neu- rofic, fencer lhe fhrows fhingsl and a wif whose humor franscends more words and conveys ifself in fhe form of noises, plainfive, whimsical, glee- fully freble - - abdominal noises, gurgling moisfly. For fear fhis impish, gurgling Myles may seem foo precious for comforf, we musf add fhaf l1e is nof fhe liffle bundle of scinfillafions of firsf ncquainfance. He is more subsfanfial fhan a flame.

George A. H. Leamy Glee Club 6: Riverdalian 6: Review 5: Liferary Log 6: Dra- mafic Club 5, 6, Presidenf 63 Foofball Varsify 4: Basksfball Versify 6: Tennis Versify 6. If is a far cry from freading fhe fheafrical boards fo galloping down fhe baslcefball courf, yef George does eifher wifh facilify. The mad mugging of a Shakespearian bumpkin, fhe equally wonderful facial conforfion of a baslxefball guard, fhe piercing dulci+ies of epigloffal fone a firsf fenor in fhe Glee Club musf emif-all fhese muscular feafs George can perform easily: buf his accomplish- menfs are noi merely fhese. For, in addifion fo being able fo argue eifher side of a quesfion wifh sfaggering eloquence, he enioys a liferary penchanf quife disfincfively his own. So fypical is his wrifing fhaf his classmafes have been compelled fo give him immorfalify by coining an appropriafe adiec- five fo describe if: Leamish. Roberf T. Marfie Review 4, 5, 6, Edifor 6: Relief Sociefy 5, Secrefary 5, Ari Club 4, 5: Soccer J. V. 6: Baseball J. V. 5. Reliabilify, efficiency, fhoroughness, capabilify in underfalcing any job, fhese are all Bob's in- herenf fraifs. Sfaunch and loyal fo his dufies Bob forges ahead fo fhe accomplishmenf of his goal quiefly and convincingly. His fine worlc as edifor of fhe Riverdale Review is worfhy of special men- fion alone, buf fhis is only one of fhe numerous iobs Bob has successfully underfalren. To all of his friends he is a consfanf sorf of mirfh, for his sense of humor seems fo cover all occasions, and skill- fully screens any faulfs he may have. Bob has made a repufafion for himself which will be long remem- bered and seldom equalled. COLGATE I I4
