THE SKIPPER CLASS SONG Tune: Far Above Cayuga's Waters. Riverside, Our Alma Mater, Honoring Thee we stand, In the memory of Thy teachings, Of our Native Land. Freedom which our Fathers died for, Love of liberty, Of our country and Old Glory, We have learned from Thee. Alma Mater, at our parting, We do pledge to Thee Loyalty to all Thy teachings, And thy memory. Hail, all hail, Our Alma Mater, May your life be long, May your praises be farsounding Echoes of our song. Louis Pfolal I TO YOUTH A TRIBUTE Along a narrow path, beside a shady brook, A gay child lightly danced with song and joyous look, Tho miles were long, and hard, no weariness he knew, Some stops he made, but short were they and few. Rich gems he gathered, where agleam they scattered lay Of these the brightest kept, the rest he threw away. So wide the trail now grown, the child became a youth. So big he was and strong, so confident, this youth! On, he strode, his face alight with joy and dreams So much was there to do, so bright the vision gleams. And now he thought of all that he had seen and done. Great battles he had fought, the victories he had won. The gems he still did clasp, for clear they were to him, Those treasures he had found along the trail so dim And strong in wisdom, which from practice one may learn Undaunted still was he, no power could make him turn His face from far-set goals, his heart from high aims true Oh, ever onward go! The world has need for you. Ruth Proseus

THE SKIPPER 13 Robot-Leon Montz, as was his custom in R. H. S., is now in the monkey business. That is, heis selling monkeys to the Spancic-Sullivan circus, Barnum and Bailey's only rival. Mialkowski, Lukawski, Kaluzienski, Malkinska, and Kozlowski have gone into a partnership in a school whose main purpose is to promote better pro- nunciation and enunciation of difficult names. Greene-And where's Donald Beitz, the fellow who had aspirations of becoming a lawyer? Robot-Donald Beitz is now a traveling salesman and he's married to Rose Mertes. Before they were married he demanded an agreement that he could go out every evening after their marriage. Yes, he goes out in the even- ing. He takes the triplets out in their Burling Larson adjustable perambulator. Mrs. Greene-Ask him about handsome Bill Bibby and Murray Fish. Robot-Bill Bibby has just been elected president of Mexico, because the senoritas liked the wistful look in his eyes. The crease in his pants might have had something to do with it, too. And yesterday's Buxqalo Evening News carried this headline: MURRAY FISH BREAKS NON-STOP FLIGHT RECORD FROM NORTH POLE TO TEXAS. Youthful explorer being trailed by two angry Eskimo parents in dog sledsf' Mrs. Greene-You boys have been hogging the robot. Let's ask him about more girls-for instance-Betty Gleber. Robot-Betty Gleber and Ruth Johnson have incorporated themselves and tomorrow afternoon will sell the formula for the permanency of their hair waves to the highest bidder in Herb Plant's second hand shop in lower Main Street. Claurles-Dick, youire going to make a fortune! He sees all, knows all and tells all. And now perhaps he can tell us about Marion Williams. Robot-Vienna dancing masters acclaim Marion as the most graceful dancer of all time, basing their claim on her new dance rage, the Whoopsie- Boom. The dance was discovered quite accidentally by Miss Williams. She slipped on a banana peel and danced swiftly down a flight of stairs. Greene-fTurning a switchj Well-how do you like it, Charlie? Charlie-I've never heard anything like it. Now, all you have to do is to get out a patent for the machine and have it put on street corners for the benefit of the public. Create the slot machine idea and youill collect plenty of money. I'm proud to know you, Dick. Letis all go down to Karl Franger's new restaurant for dinner. V Mrs. Greene-Delighted. Greene-Wait-I'll call the boy to lock up. Conners! Conners-Yes, Sir! Greene-Put the invention away. We're going out for dinner. Conners-Yes, Sir. Curtain. Marvin Rubin.

THE SKIPPER 15 SALUTATORY Honored guests, teachers, and comrades, gathered here to celebrate our commencement night, the Class of 1935 extends to you a sincere welcome, We greet you who have gone before in the mysteries of knowledge, and who rejoice with us. Mr. Whitney, who has piloted our ship through four happy years, to you we offer our salutations. We greet you, our teachers, who have worked for us with such patience and diligence, and who have led us through the intricate mazes of Geometry and Latin. We extend to you our deepest thanks and appreciation. Fellow-students, who have together learned and labored, laughed and wept, and whose friendship each of us will always cherish, we salute you. May you ever strive to increase the prestige of Riverside. The four happy years of our association have passed. With mingled joy and grief we depart to take up our appointed tasks. Before us, life stretches far. The outlines of our future have been sketch- ed, but the central design of the picture waits for us to fill it in with careful attention to color and line. It is for us to finish the masterpiece that we have visioned for ourselves. There will be days of discouragement and moments of elation and inspiration, but whatever our lives may be, we shall always have love and reverence for Riverside. Alma Mater, we salute you!
