FFECTIONATELY fermed by his classmafes wifh such choice appellafions as Ed fhe Head, The Laugh of fhe Town, and iusf plain Peasanf, Ed's arisfocrafic fendencies have been cruelly fhwarfed: Ed fears reducfion fo fhe prolefariaf. He sfill, however, has aspirafions of making Cholly Knickerbocker's sociefy column. Unable fo concen- frafe on such a low plane as fhaf furnished by fhe school's curriculum, Ed spends his fime dreamily confemplafing a financially golden fufure. Good fencer, bird-voiced member of fhe Quarfef, Edward is no mere driffer: he is socially soughf affer. Uniusfly fhe buff of many crude iesfs, lsuch as fhesel Ed fakes everyfhing calmly and confinues, unperfurbed, on his own way. A budding sfudenf, Ed, aided by his qualifies menfioned above,'will undoubfedly someday be a successful nighf-club owner. FRIENDLY, generous, modesf, reliable, Fred Chou had his name embla- zoned before fhe school one morning by Mr. Hackeff, who fold of his faifhful service af fhe swifchboard from dawn unfil eighf in fhe morn- ing during a bus-sfopping blizzard. This was fypical of Fred and he is confinuing fhis commendable pafh, no doubf helping old ladies across fhe sfreef and carrying losf dogs back fo 'rheir righfful owners for suifable remunerafion! Buf Fred is also a key man in fhe physics course of Professor Cobb and delighfs in confusing even fhaf learned feacher wifh an arfful quesfion. To puf everyfhing in a hackneyed nufshell, if is expecfed fhaf Fred will soon go back fo China wifh his piggy bank in order fo feach fhe mandarins fhere fhe many fine fhings he learned here af Riverdale.

ANTONIO BOTERO 333 WEST 86TH ST. NEW YORK, N. Y. I946 J. V. Baseball 5: Soccer 6. MMACULATELY dressed in a quief blue or grey suif, his gleaming smile always on fap, Anfonio sfrolls fhrough his classes wifh liffle frouble. Big and robusf, he did his bif on Schweifzer's rowdy soccer feam, and spreads, like Luis Vidal before him, fhe Good Neighbor Policy wherever he goes, from , Riverdale Avenue fo Times Square. Well-liked by his classmafes, Anfonio occasionally indulges in a Iiffle back-row game of chance wifh friend Alba during physics class: buf fhis is Alba's faulf, nof our impeccable Anfony's. We believe fhaf Anfonio will carry back fo Soufh America all he has learned-and fhaf is considerable-fo evenfually become fhe head of a new revolufionary regime. T ' EADER and flowery orafor, versafile Fefe has done a greaf deal for his class and Riverdale. As fhe dominanf Council member, he has illusfrafed his giff bofh for confrolling fhe mob and holding his many friends. Said by some fo enioy immensely fhe sound of his own voice, af leasf half of whaf he has fo say is worfh hearing. His hard work on fhe Riverdalian and many ofher organizafions has earned him a repufafion of reliabilify. A frack feam regular for fhree years, he also made fhe foofball varsify and asfonished Coach Berfino by doing a very good iob in fhe lasf fhree games. As fhe crifi- cal, somefimes causfic Peeve, his main inferesf is shown in wrifingg he confribufes many arficles fo school publicafions and fo oufsicle magazines as well. Despife Pefer's convicfion fhaf he can speak German fo von Nardroff, his class is sure he will achieve, fhrough drive and skill, success in his field. 5400 FIELDSTON ROAD RIVERDALE, N. Y.

CHARLES ZIMRI EDDY I595 UNIONPORT ROAD NEW YORK 62, N. Y. l945 J. V. Fencing 6: Shop Club 6. ALL, face fwisfed in a lop-sided grin, Zim silenfly goes fhrough fhe school day. Occasion- ally he will profoundly alarm his class-mafes, who will carry 'I'o fheir graves fhe memory of fhaf excif- ing day in Mr. Carney's English class when Zim, affer delivering a learned disserfafion on 'the habifs and psychology of fhe black widow spider, opened a small wooden box and drew forfh a boffle in which was locafed a small, mulfi-limbed black beasfie. He fhreafened fo unloose 'rhe poisonous creafureg Mr Carney, paling, hurriedly gave Zim an A. Ever since fhen, while gef- fing along quife well wifh his fellows, Zim has always been rafher appre- hensively regarded whenever he pufs his hand in his poclcef. Deeply infer- esfed in fhe habifs of fhe insecf world, Zim should be a renowned insecf man someday. ON FORD is nofed for many fhings in school, from his vigorous expo- sifion of fhe rural life fo his capacify for faking punishmenf during foofball games: he cerfainly has made his mark upon Riverdale. Some- whaf rough around fhe edges, Don, as Council Presidenf and foofball capfain, has influenced fhe school greafly in many respecfs. Wifh a nafural leaning foward fhe simpler pleasures of life, he has sorfied cu? on many a wild four of Wesfchesfer's dens of iniqulfy, ac- companied by a sfafionwagon load of fellow pleas- ure-seekers. Thus, he has followed in fhe greaf foof- sfeps of fhe famed Bronxvillian cohorfs before him, and has sef up a record fhaf will be hard fo beaf. A hard, fough foofball player, and a fellow who here has been fhe boon comrade of many, Don, we feel, will always be in fhe van. 3 WESTWAY BRONXVILLE, N.
