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.

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.

HEY wouId'f make him governor in Georgia, so here he is af Riverdale. Hailing from Aflanfa, where his fafher manages, according fo Voorhees, fhe easiesf sfore fo sfeal from, Gilberf has made a defi- nife impression on Riverdale, Boys' and Girls' Schools alike. He wields a mean fire-exfinguisher, as he so ably proved Iasf Halloween by spraying half fhe dormifory in a fif of rage. He also has a propensify for medical erofica, and does nof need fo be prodded, in class or elsewhere, fo manifesf fhis inferesf. He is prominenf af mosf social gafherings, escorfing any unforfu- nafe female who can'f falk her way ouf of if. The argumenfafive fype, Gilberf will debafe hofly on any subiecf af any hour of fhe day. He plans a career as a surgeon, and we send him off wifh a blessing, as well as a prayer for each of his pafienfs. L HHEY, Bud, can you gef me a dafe for fhaf dance? Dick has been heard asking on several occasions. Dick was a candidafe for class misogynisf, buf he has been making a credifable efforf fo escape from fhaf cafegory. When he has complefed his course af Arfhur Murray's, we won'f know him. Dick belongs fo fhaf car-conscious and hard-driving Scars- dale racing sef and, alfhough a driver himself, he fries fo bum a ride from Bud Williams whenever possible. During his fhree years af Riverdale he has become known as a very earnesf, good nafured, and easy-going fellow who pufs everyfhing info whaf he affempfs. All who know Dick will remember fhe perseverance he showed in playing varsify foof- baII. Alfhough nof fashioned fo be a gridiron sfar, Dick won his varsify Ieffer by remarkable dogged- ness. If he fakes fhese qualifies info 'Ihe grocery business he is sure fo do a fine iob in fhe fufure as an execufive. A 7 BEECHWOOD LANE SCARSDALE, N. Y. I944 . Foofball 61 Railroad Club 4, 5.
