K? ,Q RIVERDALE COUNTRY SCI-IGOL RlvERDALE-oN-l-IUDSON NEW YORK CITY Jin Hlrmnriam With the passing of Miss Ethel Atkins, River- dale feels a sorrow which reflects all the devotion she had poured into our school life. Although Miss Atkins had retired from teach- ing some months before her death, boys who have felt the enlightenment of her instruc- tion are in every class of the school and are scattered throughout the world. Of this we are sure: Riverdale is a finer school because of the influence Miss Atkins exerted while she was here, and now that she is no longer with us save in spirit, we feel that knowing her has been of inestimable value. FOREWORD Having lived in the cloistered atmosphere of a peaceful school life, the Senior of these days will be rudely awakened when he steps from his sheltered existence into the reality of today - a World at war. It is in an effort to encourage him in his coming trials with the memory of the traditions and high standards of Riverdale that this Riverdalian is published. UIQ NU W WE NIE D XX HIL HH XX N MIND HE HUD HW C A W NIH Dedicated to Forrest W. Cobb Riverdale has long been fortunate in numbering Mr. Cobb among its faculty. Equipped with intelligence and fore- sight in methods of education as well as with an ex- haustive knowledge in the realm of science, he had made it his business constantly to work toward the improvement of our school. In appreciation of all that he has done for us in all phases of our school life, the Class of 1943 dedicates this Riverdalian to Forrest W. Cobb.

Who's Who in 'I-L3 Genial Comrade Baeder, new to the school this year, is without an enemy in the world. His democratic outlook and quiet unassuming personality have gained him universal popu- larity. Stew insists that at almost any moment he intends to journey to Russia with Ignace Yakoushkin as guide. tThe Sixth Form should at this point recall the obvious in The Return of the Nativel. Iggy, jack of all trades, has achieved stellar success in all aspects of the River- dale curriculum. Member of the Student Council, scholar, athlete, Iggy has perhaps best dem- onstrated his tenacity in math class, contributing to Mr. Page's everlasting joy in that pliant hard-working group! The Council can this year boast of an energetic executive department in the person of Warren Smith. Any complaints about this column may be presented to Smitty, as it was un- duly rushed by his insistence on its completion within two months of the date set for its de- livery to the publisher. One of the school's best students, Smitty is versatile enough to de- light us any morning in Chapel with a concerto in B-flat, and how! The school adopted a new financial policy this year in the War Chest, headed by Tom Prioleau. Exuberance incarnate, Tom is somewhat of a giddy social butterfly, and cuts a rug with the best of the Senior Class. In spite of moments of levity, Pri has certainly done a great deal for the school, and has a wide circle of friends. First to enter the armed forces this year were Cy Kuppersmith, Bill Spencer and Phil Mitchell. All three were among the school's best athletes. Easy-going, except on the grid- iron, the Goober was always jovial, except perhaps when intimidating the lower-schoolers into naming him their basketball coach! Big Bill, after many years practically part of the River- Z2 dale furniture, turned in a fine record as captain of the football team before he left. As Mr. Gardner said, God help the enemy , or was it God help the navy ? Phil, speedy back, ne plus ultra in hockey, was voted the best athlete this year. Phil, with his hoarse Bronxville diction, got off many a choice epithet: he was everyone's friend, and a friend to all. Animal lover Iohnny Friedlich, with his pet white Camels, and Hugh too, O'Brien, pro- vided plenty of frolics throughout the year. Johnny left his mark by captaining an undefeated swimming team, Cone meetl, and though hockey games were few and far between, there are rumors that he wielded a mean stick. Obie turned in his usual fine performance on the foot- ball field, and aside from a few relapses to psychic passing was a strong man on the basketball team. Whether the war or Editor Eichenwald is to be held responsible for the war format of the Review we do not know, but at least there is no denying that Heinz is a fine scholar, and the bulwark of the sabre team. Gust ask him if you don't believe that last.l Aside from occasional references to Einstein's theory Heinz is quite sane, and his election to the council proved his popularity. Also active on the Review was long Tom Filer. There are reports that Tom is one of the staunchest backers of the war footing , especially along transporta- tional lines! Member of the famed reportorial staff , Tom leaves behind him a very credit- able record. The graduating class this year contains a confirmed cynic. Certainly Peter Buckley has an inherent scorn for any social customs normally considered proper. Subtle instigator of riots, Peter's presence invariably results in chaos, and always in a stream of unintelligible words in one of the many tongues at his command. Also somewhat non-conformist is Bill Riesenfeld. As reflected by the Mirror, Riesy is equipped with a keen mind which has many a time been the bane of a harried faculty, for he is an earnest advocate of learning through argument. h Energetic in the varied activities which interest him, he may be found during any winter term study period shooting baskets in the gym. Bill and Pete together have tripped merrily through seven years of Riverdale, and have reciprocally the ability to be present at school only when absolutely necessary. Apart from some at one time dyed in the wool Sixth Formers, let it here be recorded for posterity that both Kent Warner and Malcolm Ward are natural blondes. Wiry and ath- letic, winner of letters in football and fencing, Kent soon made himself at home in Riverdale. Mal's greatest activity has been on the traffic squad, and we are inclined to suspect ulterior motives. Except at times when the faculty gets a bit out of hand, Mal is geniality plus, and picturesque indeed in shining yellow shirt to match his wavy pompadour. Delving among the rouge pots, we find artistic Iohn Crosby. Studious, orginator of fanciful mathematical formulas, Iohn has come up through the school, and with his scientific turn of mind should do well in these war times. Monty Spindler, one of our favorite sons , is an experienced traveller, but thus far the extent of his trips have been to Bronxville and back. He knows every inch of the way! Even- tempered, a good athlete, Monty was one of the leaders of the Council. Friendly Dick Gabriel, absentee president of the orchestra, proved one of the most capable limbs of the student body. Captain in Soccer and Tennis, and a member of the Student Council, he has fitted into school life perhaps better than anyone else, and is welcome everywhere. Also on the Council, and one of the most active in student activities, was Ted Georges. The English class hopes that by the end of this year Ted will be fairly literate, but refuses to commit itself as regards any and all of Chaucer! Ted excels vocally as a golden Chapel tenor, and as our supreme narrator of doleful f?l drama. Speaking of stories, the Sixth Form has been strongly led to believe that it numbers a member of the Genus Canis in Ioe Feldman. At any rate Ioe has proved an able teller of tales, so why should their veracity or his voracity be doubted? Ioe's major achievement has been a series of 9-l-'s in History without any reference from last year! Follow a mysterious clicking any sixth period in the dormitory, and you will be led to the room of Peter Lewis, Riverdale's highest and best authority on the mysteries of radio and airplanes. Disrupting seven years of precedent, Peter astounded his friends last fall by plunging into student activities with the formation of a Radio Club, whose illustrious attain- ments are portrayed on later pages. Also mechanically minded is Bob Doherty, only his taste has run to shiny new convertible coupes in great quantity. In Bob's case the gas short- fContinued on page 482 23 Fl RM Standing: Degener, Ourisman, Peyton, Lench, Burkhalter, Hutchinson, Goetze, Lasher. Bl K. Seated: Ortei Gardner, Da ion H..

The Council With a completely new set of members, the 1942-43 Student Council. under the leadership of Warren Smith, was faced with a handicap which it surmounted quickly and easily through a suggestion which the retiring Council proposed earlier in the year. By this plan, the Council elected two advisors from their predecessors who attended meetings upon invitation and expressed their opinions on matters which the newer group considered. Making clear its desire to be true representatives of the student body, the Council continued the policy of frequent school meetings. Furthermore. the group held many open meetings to which the more influential mem- bers of the Sixth Form were invited to advance their suggestions. Through these meetings. the Council kept in constant touch with the attitude of the student body and therefore better fulfilled its purpose. This Fall the Council revised and printed the Grey Book, which was of great assistance to the new boys. During the first weeks of the school year, the Council conducted several school meetings whose object was to de- vise a plan to put the school more fully on a war basis. Among other things, it was decided that a Red Cross First Aid class should be formed which would follow the official Red Cross course. Ably conducted by Mr. Murray. this small group worked diligently on Tuesday afternoons to earn the much coveted certificates. The Council also instigated the Radio Club which was comprised of a small group of boys who appreciated the value of knowledge in the field of radio and had the time to take a course in it. With the formation of the War Chest the Council had a valuable ally in the establishing a war footing for the school. The two groups worked together to promote the sale of War Stamps and Bonds, striving to achieve one hundred percent participation by the fellows. Under the capable direction of Tom Prioleau, the War Chest also revived the pledge system of collecting contributions from the boys and Faculty. At the request of the student body, the Council took over the supervision of study halls. The chief fault of the system which had been used by the fellows in past years was that the sole object was to get any boy, however capable, in charge of each study hall. The result of this system was a rather lax and inefficient mechan' ism which was deplored by the boys as well as the Faculty. Initiating a less flexible plan, the Council placed only the more capable boys in charge of the study sessions, and each boy was responsible to a certain mem- ber of the Faculty who maintained a constant check on the success of the period. 28 THE STUDENT COUNCIL '43-'44.

When the new schedule tor the Upper School went into effect at the beginning ot the winter term, the Stu- dent Activity Association, a committee oi the Council, went into action immediately to devise a program by which all the student activities could meet every Wednesday afternoon with a minimum oi conflicts. The pro- gram was nearly perfect, with the result that boys in several activities could lor the most part continue as active members. The S.A.A. also met with Mr. Clough, the treasurer of the student activity funds, to decide upon a budget for the year which would be fair to all. Another committee ot the Council is the Athletic Association, which this year was under the able direction of Ignace Yakoushkin, This committee comprises three Council members, and the captains of the various teams during the seasons when the teams are active. Notable among the achievements of this group this year was the drawing up ot a revised set of qualifications lor team members to get Varsity and Iunior Varsity letters.

The Dramatic Association This year, along with all the other student activities, the Dramatic Association had to adapt itself to a much- reduced budget. In order to meet this smaller allocation, the society presented only one costume play during the year, the annual Shakespearean play. The other performance, In the Zone, which was held just before the Christmas holidays, was a modern-dress play, written about the last war but adapted to the World War II. Using the last play as much as possible to guage the abilities of the members of the group, Mr. Clough pains stakingly drew up the cast of this year's Shakespearean play, The Comedy of Errors, held late in May. Here is where the lack of experience of the members appeared most vividly, and it was only through the utmost effort on the part of Mr. Clough that the presentation was such a success. The fairer roles were ably filled by Sally Harrison, Pat Haim, and Mary Pickett notably: prominent in the male parts were Warren Smith, Tom Prioleau, Norman Holland, and Kent Stratton, who played the two Antipholuses and Dromios respectively. Held in the outdoor amphitheater, this presentation is one of the finest among the traditions of Riverdale, and congratula- tions go to Mr. Clough for producing such a polished performance. Standing: Filer, Hutchinson. Seated: Riesenfeld, Georges, editor, Holland The Literary Log l The Literary Log this year was completely self-supporting. On record in the school's history there is no other paper, nor any past publication of the Log itself, which can make such a statement. Financially the Log had to depend solely upon ad- vertisements secured by the combined efforts of the Board members. This year, the Board thought it best to re- turn to the more costly method oi printing the Log, in preference to the recently-employed photo-offset process. an extra expense decidedly worth- while. The work has not been easy. but if by the efforts of the Board the student body and the prestige of the Log have profited, its work this year has not been in vain, Z 30 The Riverdalian THE BOARD CO-EDITORS WARREN SMITH TOM PRIOLEAU LITERARY EDITOR WILLIAM RIESENFELD PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR ROBERT FONG ADVERTISING MANAGER GEORGE ORTEIG The prospects which the Board of the 1943 Riverdalian faced at the be- ginning of the year was far from heartening due to restrictions imposed by the war. Advertising was becom- ing increasingly hard to get, and the usual annual stipend from the Student Activity Fund was cut. Furthermore, comparatively few boys were able to find time to participate as active mem- Standing: Riesenfeld, Orteig, Fong. Seated: Smith, Mr. Page, Prioleau bers of the staff. Therefore the staff was reduced to the heads of the main departments as noted above. Fre- quently calling in outsiders to assist with the work, the Board worked hard as a group which coordinated all the work, assumed the responsibility of making ends meet, and drew up the book into its final form. Little mention has been made heretofore of the notable effort on the part of Tom Mays in the Advertising Department: of Dick Gabriel and Dan Gardner in the journalistic department, all of whose willing and gifted assistance gave much to the final tone of the book. The highest appreciation is due. as always, to Mr. Page. who. notwithstanding an already heavy schedule, found time to help the Board with every phase of the work. The Riverdale Review Without doubt, this school year was one of the most trying yet to be endured by any Review Board of the past decade. The war had made life miserable for the Board, particularly for the business department. Through the efforts of Kent Stratton and his staff, however, advertising managed to assume greater proportions and life for the Review began again. Future boards will remember 1943 as the year in which the paper first appeared in its new war time format. Editor Heinz Eichenwald's typically frank editorials were not only electrifying to the student body, but a re- freshing attraction to the paper itself.

Along the Way, long a widely read column of the Review, was popularized by Dan Gardner. Carrying on where Lyl, Sr. left off, was Lyl, Ir. with his comments About Things and People.

The Art: and Sho Club As in former years, the Art and Shop Club has been one oi the most popular activities of the school. In it boys are encouraged to follow their own plans and ideas, and so have a chance for individual progress and development. In the Art division, the club received a hard blow with the loss ot Mr. Saylor who went into the Army early in the year. With the coming of Mrs. Colcord, however, the boys had a capable substitute who aided individual members frequently with her helpful advice. In the Shop, Mr. Young is always on hand and eager to give an interested boy assistance in his proiect. This year, the fellows constructed small black models of airplanes for the government, which will use them in instructing airplane spotters to recognize the silhouettes ol approaching aircraft. Not only products of wood, but many metal trays and the like emerged irom the Shop this year as evidence oi the boys' great interest in the work ot the club. The Radio Club The Radio Club was started at the suggestion ot the Student Coun- cil in order to form a group of boys who were interested in radio and who might gain much experience which might be of use in the armed forces if they worked to- gether. The Club flourished until the revision of the Upper School schedule, but following the adop- tion of a new program, so much time was taken from the members of the club that many left to sup- port other activities, and only those who had a common study period met for daily practice. Those who have continued until the end of the year have learned Morse Code so that they now can receive about fifty characters a minute. Under ordinary conditions the Radio Club would continue. but under the pres- ent student activity program, it will close at the end of the year. Standing: Fong, Lasher, Spiridler, Gabriel, Kohler.

The Glee Club The Glee Club must be congratulated for doing well in the face of adverse conditions: in three years it has lost three conductors, all of whom are now in the armed services. At the beginning of the season the Club held the usual election. Ignace Yakoushkin was elected president, Iohn Crosby librarian, and others to various offices. The Glee Club was slow to gain impetus, because one half of its members had graduated last Iune. The first concert was traditionally held at Hartley House, before a smallish audience. It marked a consider- able improvement. The last concert at which Mr. Christman conducted, and one of the best. was at Medical Center. The following appearance was at the end of the second term, when the 1943 version of the Octet gave its first performance. The concert at the Dalton School for Girls was a complete success, with the Glee Club as with the audience. Two days later the Club sang at the Seaman's Church Institute. At graduation a mediocre but satisfactory season was completed. The Orchestra Although lacking such outstanding performers as have in past years bol- stered the reputation of the orchestra, this year's aggregation functioned ad- mirably as a unit and every member is responsible for the accompaniment of the hymns, responses, and other songs in chapel. The violins, led by Baurle and Harper, also included fu- ture stars in Gunther, Iones, and Gold- smith. The other half of the string section is ably upheld by Hoff whose cello supplied that deep and much- needed bass. This year, the orches- tra also boasted a versatile reed sec- tion consisting of Gabriel on clarinet and Rudolf on saxophone. Another one of the many activities hard hit by the new schedule, the orchestra lost much of its practice time in the re- shuffling of the student activities pro- gram. but nevertheless its members feel the satisfaction of faithfulness mixed in with genuine enjoyment.

Seated: Allen, Nuborg, Blum, K., Mr. Gardner, Holland, captain, Barnet, Lasher. The Fire Corps The Fire Corps was formed last year by Mr. Gardner. All of last year's members had a working knowledge of the fire-fighting equipment of the school building and dormitory, and all the new members quickly learned about these things. The first thing done was the organization of a rather successful scrap drive. Soon officers were elected. and a constitution drawn up, which accurately defined the duties of the Corps, and provided for all its needs. A system of air raid precaution for the school was devised and thoroughly tested. The Corps was developed into an efficient group of fire-fighters and watchers. At this time the members heard lectures by Mr. Hilden- brand, a man who had worked with fire departments all over the city. Toward the end of the year the Corps procured twenty excellent stirrup pumps, which were distributed advantageously around the grounds. The Social Committee It would be natural to suppose that the work of the Social Committee this year would be reduced to a minimum because of the restrictions that war placed upon transportation and sup- plies. In spite of these limitations, however, the committee has organized one successful formal dance, and at this writing, plans are being formu- lated which will provide for another formal dance after the Commencement exercises. With the loss of Chairman Bill Spencer, the Committee lost its driving leader, and several members were tak- en on to share the heavy responsibility of organizing the remaining activities of the year. Notable also among its achievements this year was a sub- stantial contribution to the Riverdale War Chest from the proceeds of the dances. It is hoped that the work of this committee will continue: if not prosper, for the duration of the war. Standing: O'Brien, Rudolf. Yakoushkin, Prioleau.

Seated: Mays, Prioleau, chair- man, Mr. Tucker, Watts, Spindler. The Riverdale Relief Society THE WAR CHEST BOARD. The Relief Society might be said to be co-existent with Riverdale itself. For years, funds collected from the boys on a purely voluntary basis have aided various settlement houses and charitable organizations throughout the country. This familiary known as the W. C. B., the members of the the boys to appreciate the importance of benevolence Within two weeks of the formation of the W. C.

In addition, the year. with the formation of the War Chest Board. group were confronted with the difficult task of bringing work as well as the value of giving regularly every week. . energetic Chairman Tom Prioleau had done away with and in its stead had installed a number of collectors each boys every week. As the weeks went by, more money business of raising funds by commissions made from mag- azine subscriptions became a more effective means of raising funds. But for all that, the W. C. B., was best known for its Lost and Found Department, established by Tom Prioleau and Tom Mays. That department, laughed at in the beginning, soon became a very serious matter as boys were faced with the reality of having to pay money to retrieve lost articles. As time went on, the Lost and Found Department earned less and less, as it caused boys to be more thoughtful of what they did with their belongings. The sale of War Bonds and Stamps was unsuccessful at first. However, as a spirit of competition developed between the classes, the Upper School soon led the rest of the school with 1002, participation in thefweekly purchase of bonds and stamps. This sustained achievement stimulated the school to try for a so-called Schools at War flag, awarded by the Treasury Department. Furthermore, when the Treasury Department announced its second war loan drive, Riverdale sponsored a jeep for the Army. And so. as we look back at the records of the past year, we see that the spirited efforts of the rejuvenated War Chest have added much to Riverdale's reputation of generosity. The Board owes its deepest gratitude to Mr. Tucker and to Mr. Mead, whose invaluable help has contributed to make such a successful year. THE DORMITORY RELIEF SOCIETY. The Dormitory Relief Society has been fairly prosperous this year under the leadership of lack Iackson. This group was formed to collect funds for the Boys' Bureau of New York, an organization whose purpose is to assist boys looking for jobs. This Bureau was founded by the late Pryor Grant, a great friend of the school. The income of the Dormitory Relief Society this year have come mainly from the sale of morning newspapers. At the beginning of the school year weekly collections were made in the dormitory, but this system was later re- placed by the one just named. There was a large subscription to the newspapers this year, which served largely to make up for the loss involved in abandoning the former system. In this manner, the boys of the board- ing department have been fulfilling their share of responsibilities in the contributing of funds to many needy causes in a world sorely in need of help. 35 Standing: Wolf, Allen, Baurle, Hutchinson, Mr. Page, Reichman. Seated: Kallman, Stratton. president, Iackson. Riverdale Society of Model Engineers The Railroad Club had this year one of its most successful seasons since its founding three years ago. This was probably due partly to the large number of members actively engaged in the construction of a large model railroad in the basement of Mr. Hackett's house. Every Wednesday afternoon there would be at least six boys busying themselves with track-laying, complex wiring, or the building of tiny locomotives and cars. The club itself boasts a roster of three locos, nine cars, 450 feet of rail, all of which is built on an elaborate rib-work table some ten by twenty feet. A long plate girder bridge has been placed in service: and other numerous up- and down-grades, coupled with a unique arrangement of switches, give a train running on these routes enough work to hold spellbound any visitor who watches it thread in and out of stations and do everything the big ones do. Even a remarkable two-tone whistle is in service, operated by remote control a dead ringer for the whistles heard on actual railroads. The eagerness and care with which these boys construct their work, paying attention to even the most in- finitesimal detail, has given the Riverdale Society of Model Engineers an enviable position among the activities of Riverdale. The Outing Club Considerable interest has been re- vived in the Outing Club this year. Although the number of fellows inter- ested have been few, the club has made three trips during the fall and winter terms. The first trip. taken on bicycles, was to Pound Ridge Reser- vation. There the boys spent a day hiking through the reservation, and spent the nights in a reservation shelter. In the early winter, members of the club travelled by train to Bear Moun- tain Park, where they hiked for a day and came back the next morning. In March, the boys went again to Bear Mountain. This time they spent two days there, notwithstanding dif- ficulties caused by some rats who found their way into the food supply. After hiking to several other points of interest, the boys returned home by evening of the next day. -V Harper, Filer, Yakoushkin, president, Baeder. 36 SOCCER R. . 2 Bronxville High ..... 4 R.C. .. olumbia Grammar. 3 R. ritish Naval Cadets 1 R.C.S... 3 Garden Country Day. 1 R.C.S R.C.S R.C.S. . .

Football Certainly the blows of fate had rained hard upon Riverdale, for September came and found the Red and Gray Warriors bereft of Coach Curtin -to say nothing of eight former lettermen. The new coach was capable. and the material with which he had to work was good, but, for the most part. as green as the grass on Me- morial Field. To look over the bunch from which he was to fashion, in an incredibly short period, a successful eleven, one could only predict that the days of glory on the gridiron were gone for the school on the hill, and that a good solid defense was all-important. But with time the squad prospered under his tutelage . . . Coach Schneider was stressing nothing less than offense, offense and more offense! With the first engagement came new uniforms, a case of the jitters. and defeat at the hands of a big Pingry team. Despite Fliverdale's encouraging performance in the second half, the Coach was disappointed, and rigorous training for the Greer setto ensued. Greer loomed as another threat, but after forty minutes of play, Greer ceased to loom! One victory was chalked up. And so the fact that football prognostica- tors are the world's worst guessers was proven again! With the addition of Coach O'Malley, the line was developed into a tough, closely-knit unit. Rarin' to go, the line ran wild with Carteret, and when the mud had cleared, eleven battle-scarred Riverdalians waded off the field, their faces beaming with victory. Another home game followed, and in spite of more mud the Dobbs Ferry invaders were whitewashed 34-D. Trinity fell next, but didn't hit bottom until the score mounted to 27-6. The last home game was a reversal of the usual procedure, for an inferior Hackley team seized the initiative, and handed Riverdale its first setback in four games. With the coach gone, and Captain Spencer out, the team's feeling of confidence had melted away. Hackley snapped a winning streak by just shading Riverdale out 7-6. Though two key men were missing from the line-up, the team journeyed up the Hudson for an engagement with the touted Storm King eleven. Never have any two teams fought harder. Storm King and Riverdale blood flowed freely as man after man was thrown to the hard ground. As the struggle continued, Storm King piled up a few points and held on to come out victor. lt isn't easy for a highly successful team to bow down to two old rivals in a row, but that's the game. As it turned out, the Hackley and Storm King debacles did nothing to cloud the glory of the season. The team had to adjust itself to new coaches. and a comparatively complex offense. While the record book shows that this sea- son didn't measure up to some others in years gone by, there is every reason to believe that as a whole. this season was more impressive, and provided more thrills for the onlooker. 38 Standing: Adam, coach, Hess, Gilbert, Doherty, Iackson, Burkhalter, Filer, Ward, Kallman, Schweitzer, Holland, manager. Seated: Dodge, Kohler, Fong, M., Orteig, Gabriel, captain, Vicini, Watts, Eichenwald. Chang. Not present: Riesenfeld. Soccer The soccer season for 1942 was not particularly impressive due primarily to the fact that there were only two varsity men returning from last year's champion team, and that the majority of the rest of the squad had never played in a soccer game before. October 12 saw the Riverdale booters, on their own field, which at the time was exceptionally muddy, take their first game of the season, winning from the not-too-well trained team of the Garden Day School by a score of 3-to-l. The defense, especially Bob Doherty and Heinz Eichenwald, played well, and with the combined aid of Kallman, Watts and Schweitzer kept the ball as much as possible out of Riverdale territory. Ioe Vicini and Nai Chong Chang scored for the Red cmd Grey, the latter talleying twice. On October 14, Riverdale lost to a superior Columbia Freshmen team, l-3, in a fast and interesting game. The Red and Gray squad functioned well as a unit with Goalie Burkhalter, and Dodge, Doherty, Kallman, Filer, and Captain Gabriel accounting for themselves well. The season's dullest game came when the Red and Gray team beat a poor McBurney squad, 2-0. A 2-2 tie was played in two extra periods when Riverdale met Lincoln on November 20. Mitchell and Nai Chong alternated in a fast and exciting game with the Lincoln Squad. The Hackley game was really something to talk about. The Red and Gray boosters played by far their best game of the season, and in the opinion of Coach Adam, they surpassed even the greatest playing of all recent Riverdale teams. Riverdale's victory, 2-1, scored by Ward and Spindler, was due more to the team's spirited hard playing and determination to win against a strong opponent than to anything else. This spirit, linked with inspired skill as a unit, brought about the most admirable game of the year. It is impossible to single out any individual stars as every member of the team played exceptionally well. Captain Dick Gabriel and Heinz Eichenwald were honored for their excellent performances by the All- Metropolitan Soccer Team. of which they were made members. Bob Doherty was elected to the second team. Much credit must be given to Coach Adam who worked hard and diligently with an overcrowded squad to produce a fair team which unfortunately did not hit its full stride until near the end of the season. 39 Basketball Standing: Mr. Casucci, Riesenfeld, Do- herty, Rudolf, Yakoushkin, captain, Baeder, Ourisman, Mr. Schneider. Kneeling: Spindler, Hoff, Goetze, man- ager, Spencer, O'Brien. The basketball team this year did not leave a particularly good record: this is because several of its mem- bers left during the season to join the service. and also because of injuries. The first day of practice found a motley array of candidates including three letter men left from last year's squad, Yakoushkin tcaptainl, Spencer. and Spindler. Soon it became apparent that quite a steady team could be formed around these men. although it lacked any particularly outstanding star. Hoff and Riesenfeld filled in as forwards, Yakoushkin at center, and Spencer and Spindler as guards. In the first game of the season, the team managed to eke out a 19-12 victory over a vastly overrated Woodycrest quintet. As Riverdale showed itself an excellent defensive team but lacking in scoring punch, Coach Cassucci set out to develop an offense. He tried shifting Kuppersrnith into the position of forward, but, as was revealed in the next game. to no avail. This was the game against Poly Prep, in which Yakoushkin distinguished himself by fine defensive playing at the same time scoring ten points. but he could not manage alone and Poly won 31-28. From this time on, it was an up and down fight to keep above .500. We beat Lincoln in a close game, although Hoff was out with an injured hand. After this Spencer was forced out with a bad ankle and shortly joined the Navy. Kuppersmith was drafted, and also left the team for the service. To make things worse, Do- herty was taken out with a dislocated collarbone. In this shape, Riverdale ran all over a small and inexperi- enced Birch Wathen team by a score of 45-21. The condition of the team was discouragingly displayed by subse- quent losses to Fieldston, McBurney, Manhattan prep by one-sided scores. In a trip over to Morristown. New Iersey, Riverdale lost by a close margin to a very tall Morriston five. All during the year it was felt that Riverdale always did far better when playing at home: this impression was under- lined by what may be called the climax of the season, the Storm King game. Storm King, undefeated in the League. and with a reputedly strong team, came down expecting confidently to add another game to its list of victories. But our fellows had something else in mind. Piling into their opponents. the Red and Gray was ahead at the end of the first period 112-83. but fell behind at the half 115-145. With twenty seconds to go and Riverdale two points behind. Hoff sank a desperation shot from midcourt, tying the game. In the second extra period, Captain Yakoushkin sank a spectacular one-handed shot from nearly midcourt, thereby winning the game for Riverdale. The hopes that were raised after this game fell as Riverdale lost to Hackley in the final game of the year to a score of 36-14. All in all the season could have been worse, and much credit should go to Coach Cassucci for making a passible basketball team with almost no material, and to the boys who displayed such a fine spirit throughout the season. 40 Fencing Standing: Wolf. Warner, Baurle, Mr. Von Arnold, Vicini, Prioleau, Eichen- wald, Mays, manager. Kneeling: Mair, Dayton, H., Orteig, captain, Chang. Great teams and outstanding individuals in the field of sport are as much a part of Riverdale as they are of any school. Should the records be perused, we would see that no team in the history of the school has been more consistently outstanding, both for performance as a team and for accomplishments as single individuals as the fencing team. Perhaps the most decisive factors in its success has been the guidance of Mr. Boris Von Arnold, who first came to Riverdale in 1933. Often a resourceful coach can fashion a suc- cessful aggregation from mediocre material. However, Riverdale seems to have had a winning combination of both excellent material and superior coaching, particularly in the past seven years. Indeed, for seven consecutive years Riverdale swordsmen have captured honors in the annual A.A.P.S. meet, sweeping the entire proceedings in '38, '39, '40, and '41-a momentous achievement in any competition. The beginning of the season did not drip of the pessimism that is so prevalent among teams during their early days of practice. Rather the veterans of last year's team looked forward to another triumphant season. doubting only the skill of the five new men who were to fence with little experience. Captain George Orteig led the foil team. while next in order were Walter Baurle, David Mair, and Dick Gabriel, the last two alternating in third place. The epee team was composed of Iose Vicini, Tom Prioleau, and Werner Wolf. In sabre, the team remained almost intact: Heinz Eichenwald, Nai Chong Chang, and Kent Warner, new this year. No single team had to assume the largest share of the burden for all three weapons were strong, and each presented to the opposing teams as serious a problem as the other. However, for Boris Von Arnold. the team's victories would mean hours of instruction. He must show the parries and the attacks-the mechanics--of fencing, to the new- comers, prepare them for the shortest, but toughest, schedule in years. The first meet scheduled was to be with Princeton-home of many a former Riverdale fencer. Fortunately, there was only one Riverdalian in the Princeton line-up, Myles Herbert. However, he proved himself by de- feating his old alma matez's epee team man by man. The other two epee men were reckoned with more easily. The last bout of the meet was breath-taking. It meant the difference between a close Princeton victory or a tie. For Nai Chang, it was a tense, trying bout. But his victory ended the meet 1316-1316. And Riverdale left. having tied a team that was to become, two months later, the Princeton varsity. Although they were thoroughly trounced at Salle Santelli by a group of fencers some of whom had seen Olympic experience, the team profited immeasurably. For compared with Santelli's swordsmen. others seemed almost insignificant. In this meet versatile lose Vicini made his debut as a Riverdale sabreman while Captain Orteig fenced both foil and epee. It was in the meet with Fordham College's varsity, however, that Riverdale carried on as in days of old. Mindful of their recent Santelli debacle, Boris Von Arnold's proteges fenced with 41 more care and aggressiveness, and as a result, overcame Fordham with ease. Dave Mair, almost a forgotten man prior to this time, taught his opponents a great deal of respect for his foil. In the foil meet with McBurney, there was an indication of what was to come later in the A.A.P.S. com- petition. The climax of the season was the meet with the Iunior Varsity of New York University. Every point was so closely contested that some bouts might well have dragged on ten minutes had they not been limited by time. The competition was particularly strong in sabre. where Heinz Eichenwald himself was defeated by N.Y.U.'s num- ber one sabreman. The meet. though, ended in Riverdale's favor, 14-13. Unfortunately the annual meet of the Athletic Association of Private Schools failed to provide any competition for Riverdale this year. This was due, however, to the limited number of entries, and not to the skill of the opposing teams. Only in the B division foil did McBurney manage to nose Riverdale out for first place. ln the Class A foil. the competition was only individual. George Orteig repeated his performance of last year, taking first honors by a wide margin. Walter Baurle placed third. The epee elimination was Riverdale's only clean sweep of the day. lose Vicini. Tom Prioleau and Tom Heyman placed first, second, and third respectively. And so closed a season which is certainly one of the most outstanding in the history of Riverdale. To the coach, Boris Von Arnold, must go much credit for producing such a crack team: to the members themselves goes much honor for the admirable spirit and fine results which they displayed and obtained, and individually, to George Orteig, captain of the team three years in a row, one of the finest fencers Riverdale has produced. Hockey The Hockey team this year had all the bad breaks possible. War prompted a handicap in lack of transportational facilities, and also the manpower short- age necessitated much assistance by the team members themselves in prepar- ing and maintaining the rink. The difficulties were overcome by the gen- eral spirit of the squad, notably of such members as Charley Lench and Phil Mitchell, who managed and led the team when in action. Transportational difficulties made all but the Hackley games impossible. This game, played at Hackley. was very exciting and showed a striking spirit, and while the match was lost. 4-3, all agreed that it had been closely contested. The line-up was, Goal: Lench, Right Defense: Warner, Left Standing: Mitchell, coach: Blumenthal, Warner, Lench captain: Rittenberg Flascher, Goetze, manager. Kneeling: O'Brien, Spencer, Friedlich, Gabriel Defense: O'Brien, Center: Mitchell, Left Wing: Spencer, Right Wing: Friedlich. The whole team played an ex- cellent game, Friedlich taking the spotlight most of the time. Most remarkable was the interest and ability displayed by the non-team members during inter-squad games. Also, the spirit of the team as a whole was very gratifying to behold. All in all. the season can be considered successful as the team overcame all the difficulties in its way. 42 Baseball Standing: Mr. Gard- ner. coach, Ourisman Iackson, Spindler. Hoff, Burkhalter Lasher, Watts. Kra- marsky. manager. Seated: Schweitzer Rudolf, Lench, cap- tain, Friedlich. Gard- ner. Gilbert. Although six varsity regulars returned from last year. only two played their former positions. Versatile Tiger Lench turned the tools of ignorance over to Iohn Rudolf, and became an excellent pitcher. Gardner moved from outfield to first base. Gilbert and Friedlich, both newcomers, played second and short respectively. O'Brien, last year's second baseman. went out to left field. Spindler was at his old spot at the hot corner. The remaining outfield positions were filled by Hoff in center and Bourne, also new, in right. The line-up was prac- tically unshaken throughout the entire season. The team when in their true form played some very sound and heads-up baseball. The infield turned in some very sparkling plays. Constant hitting, the best Riverdale has seen in years, was the most outstanding quality. However, this stick-work did not produce as many nms as it should have. As the Riverdalian goes to press, the season stands at seven wins, three losses, and one tie. Two of the losses were to powerful Manhattan Prep and Storm King squads. In the two games with Lincoln, result- ing in a tie and a loss. Riverdale hit off days . This was Lincoln's only victory of their schedule: they had lost to Fieldston and Barnard, both beaten soundly by us. Kew Forest and McBurney added two more easy wins. In league competition. Hackley was beaten. but Storm King won easily. Best played game of the season was with Trinity, a very strong team who had beaten Horace Mann. Making no errors and exhibiting great batting power, Riverdale won fairly easily. Lench was in his best form and at no time in great difficulty. Everybody ran the bases like demons. taking every advantage offered. Lench struck out 124 in eleven games to make the school record. Highlights ol: the Season LINCOLN fl-17 Lench's one-hitter . . .

Mr. Gardner deserves an immense amount of credit in getting such a good team in shape out of a com- paratively small squad. On such a high-school team as ours the coaching is tremendously important. The whole team owes a debt of gratitude to Coach Gardner for his time. patience, and knowledge of the game. 43 100 yd: Friedlich. Mays. 220: Friedlich, Mays, Yakoushkin. 440: Yakoushkin.

Working on that premise, a sizeable but none too promising squad set about conditioning itself for one of the shortest track seasons here in years. The schedule included only Fieldston, Manhattan Prep, Trinity, and the ,A.A.P.S. In three meets the team scored only one victory. However it is only fair to say that not once were the cindermen decisively beaten. The scores were all close, save in the Trinity met, in which the latter was buried under a landslide of points gained by a team that was only at that point commencing to show its great possibilities. The 100-yard dash was dominated by Iohn Friedlich, who stepped through that event without losing once to his opponents. Ignace Yakoushkin, Stuart Baeder and,Iohn Friedlich ranked high among Riverdale 220-yard dash men. Again in the 440 Yakoushkin starred, followed by Tom Prioleau who always managed to finish in second place. The two distances were sadly undermanned. In the case of the 880. lim VanStaveren scored alone until Howie Hess, a former dasher, joined him. Together the two made up for lost time, and both placed in the Trinity meet. Before appendicitis stopped him, Bill Burkhalter was the team's best hope for the mile. How- ever, in the Trinity meet Warren Smith. a dark horse if there ever was one. proved himself by finishing second by a strong kick in that distance. The field events belonged to Ignace Yakoushkin, for his springy legs carried him to victories in the high and broad jumps: while with his marvelous muscular coordination he excelled in the discus throw and the shot put. George Orteig, pole vaulting but once in competition this year, needed only seven feet four inches to win. which he did with ease. It is expected that he shall be the one next year to shatter Lew Kidd's record of 1939. In the first meet of the year which was with Fieldston the results were all far below par. Yakoushkin com- mitted the sin of fouling himself right out of a place in the shot put. In the end. Fieldston ran off with the relay and the meet. The next meet, with Manhattan Prep. took place on a sulky day: and in direct contrast to the previous meet, there was an abundance of good results. ln the 220 Friedlich lowered his time by three seconds. and later lowered it again in the Trinity meet. The most outstanding feature of the afternoon was the number of first places won by the iBlironmen. In all they gained seven out of ten firsts, four of which belonged to Yakoush- kin. Certainly that is an accomplishment: but the dark side of the story was the team's incapacity to score enough seconds and thirds. And so the team failed to conquer Manhattan Prep. The team's victory over Trinity was inevitable. In Yakoushkin the team had a handy man able to excel in the field and on the track. The distances, up to and including the mile were well balanced. the latter demonstrat- ing remarkable improvement. ln general the whole team under the guidance of Coaches Biron and O'Malley improved greatly during the all too brief season, and it is unfortunate that more meets were not to follow after the significant Trinity engagement. 44 Tennis With the arrival of four boys of varsity calibre and the two remaining lettermen of last year's team, the tennis team has been able to mold itself into an exceptionally successful organization. The main reason why the tennis team has had such a striking record is that the first six varsity men all play uniformly well. A tennis team. like any other cooperative organization. is only as strong as its weakest man and. comparatively speak- ing. the team this year has had neither a star nor a very weak man. The team in its first match of the season trimmed Lincoln 5-0. Riverdale next defeated Dwight school 4-1. Captain Dick Gabriel lost to Dwight's number one man, Herb Gruber. giving Dwight their only point of the afternoon. In a return engagement. the home team once more defeated Lincoln. Next the team travelled up to Hackley to get their fourth straight win of the year. When the final set was won. Riverdale was on top. 4-1. The team had its first setback of the year when McBurney won 5-0. An enjoyable doubles match was had with the Halstead School. in which the girls as well as the boys took part. Nancy Stuart, number one player of the Girls' School. lost to Elizabeth Fredrechman of Halstead in a well-played and exciting match. The final talley was Riverdale-6. Halstead-1. Dick Gabriel. Bill Riesenfeld. Stew Baeder. and Iim VanStaveren traveled to their first rounds in the Twenty- eighth annual A.A.P.S. championship tournament. lim VanStaveren in the singles. and Gabriel and Riesenfeld in the doubles. all received byes into the quarter-final round. Stew Baeder was put out in the first match by Herb Gruber 6-2, 6-3. VanStaveren. number four man of the Riverdale team, causing the biggest upset in the tourna- ment, defeated Horace Mann's number one man. Austin Haldenstein, seeded number two in the tournament, 6-2. 6-3. Gabriel and Riesenfeld in three sets beat the seeded number three Mount St. Michael team. In the semi- final round. VanStaveren lost to Salmon of Xavier. 6-2, 6-4. Gabriel and Riesenfeld in a very hotly contested match lost to the Horace Mann doubles team. seeded number two. 8-6. 5-7. 6-4. On that same Friday the rest of the team. not playing at Forest Hills. lost by a close match to Horace Mann 3-2. On the following day Riverdale trounced Trinity 4-1. The fact that Riverdale was able to reach the semi-finals of the A.A.P.S. is highly commendable. Numbers one and two men. Dick Gabriel and Bill Riesenfeld. and number four man. Iim VanStaveren. deserve much credit for this and for their excellent record throughout the season. Number three man. Stuart Baeder turned in a very fine performance. holding up his end very well: likewise five and six men Rittenberg and Warner. The whole team cooperated well. carrying through the season entirely self-coached. The school has complete confidence of a good showing in the matches to come. 45 Baeder.

Bob's headed for West Point, and if pos- sible will undoubtedly inject a little merriment into daily drill. Unsurpassed for irrelevancies in history session are Francis Belmont and Peter Dayton. Aside from a few somewhat foggy moments in that class, Francis seems to know a little of what is going on every day. All kidding aside, Francis gets on well with one and all, and. indeed, often amazes us with a very pointed sense of humor. Peter, renowned in Chess, the essence of cheerfulness, is, with his sparring partner Bob Fong, among the most considerate fellows in school. Bob surprised us all last year with an astounding mastery of American slang, but did not surprise us at all by turning in a fine job in football this fall. Both in their unobstrusive manner contributed much to the bonhomie of Riverdale society. Mahatma Harper, usually the soul of reticence, burst forth this year with 235 impas- sioned debates on the potentialities of India's independence. Unusually quiet and reserved, Don nevertheless participated in many school activities. lim Van Staveren, a late newcomer this year, rounds off the class. Representative of the general friendliness by which the class was marked, lim immediately entered into the school curriculum with a gusto which won him many friends. , The Class of 1943 was distinguished, if by nothing else, by the remarkable way in which it has overcome the many difficulties created by the war. As if that were not enough, sev- eral of its number have departed for active service. However, after the rest have gone, they will long be remembered for their universal friendliness. 48 As the Seniors Mitchell - Mitchell - Mitchell - Spencer - Smith - - Spencer - Mitchell - Spindler - Prioleau - Fong - - Mitchell - Lewis - - Spencer - Spencer - Riesenfeld Ward - - Rudolph - Eichenwald Spencer - Fong - - Smith - - Ward - - Prioleau - See Them The Mirror - - Most Democratic - - Most Popular - - - -Best Athlete - - - Done Most for Riverdale Done Riverdale for Most - - Handsomest - - - - Beau Brummel - - - - Most Considerate - - - - Wittiest - - - - Biggest Grind - - - Most Influential - First to Get Married - - Second Time - - - - Most Likely to Succeed - - - - Laziest - - - - - Biggest Bluff - - - - Best Scholar - - - - Greatest Heartbreaker - - - Most Generous - - - Has the Most Drag - - Needs the Most Drag - - Tries to be Wittiest - 49 As the Rest ot the School See Them - - - - Eichenwald - . - Mitchell - Spencer - - Smith - Spencer - Spindler - Prioleau - Baeder - Mitchell - - Lewis - - Smith - Spencer - Prioleau - - Smith - O'Brien - O'Brien - - Smith - Spindler - - Friedlich - - Smith - - Ward - Rudolph 50 'NS 52 X, s 53 ADVERTISING SECTICDN Camp A iverdale in the Adirondacks LONG LAKE HAMILTON COUNTY NEW YORK 32nd Season Fun and Adventure Swiniining, Diving, Canoeing, Sailing Opportunity for Summer Study ' DIRECTOR: FRANK S.
