PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE RIVERDALE COUNTRY SCHOOL Riverdale-on-Hudson New York. N. Y. Dc1n1e1 Charles Corey Treasurer of Rrverdale For over a quarter of a century Mr Carey has contr1buted to Rrverdale rn a dual role In hrs oFF1c1al capaclty as Treasurer he has carrled on the Hscal affairs of the school wlth a frlendly zeal In all the departments of Rlverdale we see dally the evldence of Mr Careys thoughtfulness and care rn maklng Riverdale a better place rn whrch to go to school As the father of three Rlverdalrans he has glven the benefit of hls loyal support his scholarly attltude and the good common sense of h1s advlce to all the student 3CtlV1tleS of the School To his tasks he has brought the sense of humor of h1s Irlsh parentage and the dlgnlty and thoroughness of h1s New England up brlnglng He may look wxth satlsfactlon at hrs accomplrshrnents knowrng that the growth of the school IS ln no small measure due to hrs energy and courage It 1S wlth prlde that we dedicate the 1949 Rlverdallan to Damel Charles Carey , . 9 . . , . . 1 1 Q PUREWURII And so another year has passed The cast of 1949 moves off the stage never to come together agam lt 1S hoped however that the drama Riverdale 1949 w1l1 not soon be forgotten by tts many and varxed players and for thls reason the 1949 RIVER DALIAN t kes the stage It IS a book of memorles memorles of words and deeds of Joys and sorrows of work and play These memories are prxceless now and wxll be most cherlshed m the years ahead when thxs yearbook w1ll serve to rem1nd us of the pleasant days we spent at Rlverdale Many boys worked long and hard m the prepara tlon of the 1949 RIVERDALIAN which IS an expresslon not merely of the graduatmg class but of the whole school Yet thexr efforts would have largely been ln va1n had It not been for the kmd and mvaluable asslstance of Mr Bent and Mrs George It was through thexr efforts that we were able to produce thrs yearbook THE EDITORS , . v v s v ' - d - v v ' v s v v v On Saturday Oct 16 another great milestone in Riverdales history was passed On this day the new site overlooking the Hudson was dedicated to education for peace Several prominent speakers honored Rlverdale on that memorable occasion mclud 1ng the dxstmguished General E1senhower All of the orators emphasized the fact that This school must be a peacemaker in a troubled world In effect this statement seems to portray the end towards which Dr Hackett IS striving Although fears and misunderstanding prevail in the world there are occasional rifts in the clouds giving hope that men may some day live together in peace Riverdale Country School which was one of the pioneers 1n the development of the country school movement over forty years ago now proposes to advance education to new usefulness by developing a system of educatlon with a world wide pomt oi view An American World School Riverdales plan IS one way to strlve to place understanding within the reach of some mem bers of the generatlons which will control the fate of tomorrow s world The value of an American World School is not alone or perhaps even chiefly to youths of other lands American stu dents form friendships with students from other countries They learn early those differences in pomt of view and in customs which lie back of much of the m1sunderstand1ng between nations An American World School Riverdale provides a means by which tools of peace knowledge perspective and understanding can be placed 1n the hands of tomorrows generatlon Such a school sets a pattern and offers a demonstration a pilot plant which should spread a world pomt of view among schools every where. Long an American World School Riverdale has precious roots which must be nourished. The development of world edu- cation through such exemplary schools as Riverdale should put the light of understanding rather than the sword in the hands of todays youth and tomorrows men. Education from the world point of view must start in the formative years before prejudices insularism, and nationalism can begin to take root. Youth cannot wait.

During the week and a half prior to the game, practice was rigorous, and the team's many fiaws were ironed out. Riverdale's improvement was evi- dent, as a fairly strong Trinity team was overwhelmed by a 32-18 score. The Saturday following the Trinity game, the team took the long trip to Kingston, N. Y., where it met Storm King. The team played well, and won despite several bad breaks, 13-7. The game actually was not as close as the score would indicate, as Riverdale had the game in hand almost from the opening whistle. A week later Riverdale played Hackley in the big game of the year. The team had primed for this game all year, and practiced with added de- termination during the week before the game. The team hoped to avenge the one-sided victories Hackley had won against Riverdale in both basket- ball and baseball last year. Hackley's record was not good, but this was due mainly to injuries to several of their key players. The boys from Tarry- town, in perfect shape for the game with Riverdale. hoped to garner their first victory at the expense of the Red and Gray, but from the very first the game was no contest. As soon as Riverdale got possession of the ball, it marched 60 yards to a touchdown, and by half-time had piled up a 27-0 lead. In the second half, the team kept at it, coasting to a 40-6 victory. For the final game of the year the squad traveled to West Hartford Conn to meet Kingswood Since Kingswood had played some strong prep school elevens its record was only fair To have knocked Riverdale from the ranks of the unbeaten would have been enough to have made their sea fix fl if 1 Ill ui t 1 ll K ll K L lk X Im 9 N l ' I m K , , f N, 5 ' Q 1, I I A Y .1 lx'ln'l1i ,lf llci-cr.

A fairly successful season seemed imminent when Riverdale de- feated Staten Island in the first game of the year. But after a victory over Collegiate three games later, the team suffered four consecutive losses before overcoming Dwight. In the last seven games of the season, Riverdale only managed to win one, the en- 42 5tHtC11ISlHHd 40 counter with the faculty.

The Riverdale fencing team, led by Captain Schroeder and his cohorts Hummel, Sobel and Gorby, gave Riverdale its second undefeated team in a year. With four experienced boys as a nucleus, RCS Opponent 17 Hopkins Grammar 10 14 Actor's Fencing Club 13 19 Cheshire 8 15 Naval Academy Plebes 12 14 Hackley 12 14 McBurney 1 19 Rutgers Frosh 8 16 Columbia Frosh 11 Coach Edward Lucia built a powerful and high- spirited team. The other letter-winners besides those mentioned above were Fong, Goolde, Harper, and Rosenblatt, and much credit for the team's unblemished record must go to them. The first match was with Hopkins Gram- mar, which Riverdale won handily, 17-10. On February 14, Riverdale fenced the Actors' Fencing Club in a meet which was the hardest and most thrilling match of the season. It was Schroeder who broke a 13-13 tie to give RCS a 14-13 victory. The next week-end Cheshire Academy bowed to an over-powering Riverdale team, 19-8. The following week the team journeyed down to Annapolis to take part in a match which proved interesting and successful for the team as a whole, and for Schroeder and Sobel in particular, who between them won 8 out of 9 bouts. Riverdale beat Plebes, 15-12 the first time in the history of the school. A depleted Rutgers team met an injury-ridden Riverdale team on home grounds the following Saturday, and were trounced 19-8. The final match of the season was the annual meeting between Riverdale and the Columbia freshmen which Riverdale won 19-8. High praise for the very successful season should be given to Captain Schroeder, who was awarded the Winter Sports Cup for winning five out of six bouts at Annapolis, and to Steve Sobel who won the Lucia trophy for being undefeated in 17 sabre bouts. az R01 I Il lgtl mmf.

There is every reason to believe that this tradition will be upheld by the 1949 team. The boys who were regular members of last year's var- sity are Captain Nelson Case, Rob- ert Nagao, john Miller, Edgar Koerner and Walter Schwartzkopf. The remaining positions in the starting line-up will be filled from a large squad whose members are now competing for the coveted po- sitions. The coach this year will be Ralph Kandell who feels from what he has seen of the team Riverdale can expect its full share of success.

VARSITY TRACK This year time task of moulding the team into shape will be a diffi- cult one for Coach Earl Smith. There are only two letter-men left of last year's team. Of these, Cap- tain Bob Goulder will be unable to take his usual spot in the middle distances because of a knee injury. Ed Beekman, however, will com- pete in the Held events. Of last year's non-letter men. Alex Solowey and Tom Beck will run the mile and the 880 respec- tively, and Todd Gaulocher the 440. Coach Smith plans to rely on a selection from a large squad of be- ginners. Most of these have been in training out of doors during the winter on the board track and from their efforts should come a team qualified to take their place beside their famous predecessors. W' 1.

THE COSMOPOLITAN CLUB The Cosmopolitan Club was founded two years ago with two main ob- jectives in mind: first, to acquaint our overseas representatives with Ameri- cana - our folklore, customs, and important historical dates: and second, to give our native-born American boys an opportunity to learn something about the twenty-nine different nations represented here at Riverdale. Under the supervision of Mrs. George and Miss Bennett, regular weekly meetings have been held with the express purpose of giving mem- bers a chance to describe customs, clothing, food habits, and religions in their various countries. On Halloween, Thanksgiving, and before Christmas, American customs were discussed at the meetings. Besides this, the club enjoyed a gigantic Thanksgiving turkey with all the trim- mings, a Halloween party, a successful Christmas party, and a masquerade ball in March. It has been an annual custom for the Cos- mopolitan Club to present a Tea on Found- er's Day. At this all the members con- tribute some delicacy from their respective countries, providing interesting as well as delicious refreshments. The officers of the club are Bill Marques, president: Jack Hyatt, vice-president: and Herby Kwouk, secretary. Their work was responsible in no small way for the tremen- dous success of the club this year. The Cosmopolitan Club has donated to the school the Hag of each country repre- sented here, and also the oflicial flag of the United Nations, perpetual reminders that Riverdale is host to students from all over the world.

Families packed their simple possessions into their covered wagons in preparation for the long trek to the sunset drawn by a magnet that was the new found gold of the Far West This was the Gold Rush and in its madness pioneers braved the wrath of the elements as well as the petty vices of men and some of them were rewarded for their labors Yes some of these pioneers found pay dirt in their slulce pans and became rich but there were those who suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and were over come The Gold Rush affords an interesting parallel to the situation that confronts us now and finds us the Forty niners rushing to seek our ow 1 fortunes Four years of education and pleasant l1fe at Riverdale have pre pared us for years of future study and have safely guided our covered wagon over familiar trails to this juncture in the road The paths before us are many some lead through country where CV1l waits to strike down the weary travelers Others pass through fields of golden gram where pros perlty lies in store for the fortunate Voyager Whatever course we take we may be certain of one thing once we set out we leave the sheltered trail so commonplace to us all and enter a strange and unknown territory It IS important though to remember the lesson we learned at Riverdale that although it IS a fine thing to have high aspirations in life and to work lndustrlously at our ambltlons we must remember not to jeopardize or in Jure the interests of our fellowmen This IS the first stop and now we re embark on the covered wagon for the sunset trail X X f M ,Z zyfjflf? ff'-X K3 fah 2 I X X , - ' V I T I D - . . . . . , Lt ' U9 - v 1 ' l 1 l Z 3 . . . - . , , I i . . l . . , , - .
