Riverview Military Academy - Orbit Yearbook (Poughkeepsie, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1911 volume:

Preface ELLOVVS, this is the 75th Anniversary of Riverview. In many ways this has been a record yearg in athletics, in social events and in school work. To those of us who graduate, this year means a lot. We all of us, consciously or unconsciously, have come to love the old school where we have spent some of the happiest days of our life. And now that we are finished, we can't help but feel sorry. VVe have upheld the honor of Riverview, poorly at times, to be sure, but to the best of our ability, and now we lay down our school work, some of us, to continue at college, or to fight life's battle. But to those who are to continue their work at Riverview-its up to you! You are to frame the future honor, the future reputation of the dear old institution, and that you may frame that honor as well or even better than your predecessors, is the earnest wish of THE Onan' BOARD SWZiWWW WW M Q Ax W W X . . if X W0 W X f M I 'A Sfiig X 5 , W yi wm :A it .1 J? fzf,A f, 'L ff , , Mgmt! gw wk?

SWEENEY JUST FOR FUN SMULTZ H-H I IIVJ PR NE f Y The Tour X I f If For many years it S l1ad been my desire to make a tour across thc continent in my -1- 90 H. P. Mercedes ' , ..-e- g dl i X QE? and it was not until 1928 that my desire , was at last realized. , ' Having fully equip- ped both my ma- chine and myself, on August -lith of that year, I started on t my journey. In- -4 stead of travelling directly across the continent, I decided first to travel southward, and at 8 o'clock on the morning of August 4, l9Q8, I started from Albany. The state roads were in excellent condition, and I sailed along regardless of my worldly cares, and not troubling my- self much as to where I was going or what I was going to do, until I reached Pough- keepsie, where, in front ofthe court house, a crowd of enthusiastic men and women greeted my appearance. In their midst, standing on a high platform, stood a dark shapeless individual who was evidently very much impressed by his own efforts, judging from his gestures and the Venus-like pose which he assumed. His auditors seemed no less impressed than himself, for such remarks as, Isn't he a dear? , Oh, that figure! The Saviour of our cause! were heard by the feminine faction of his audience. I looked again to scc who the gentleman could be who was so favorably accepted by the fair sex Cin Poughkeepsie tool and recognized my old class mate Sweeney, who was upholding wom- an's rights most vehemently. He soon finish- ed his oration, and, amidst tl1e thundering applause of the crowd, descended from the platform, and before I could congratulate him upon the success of his speech, had ascended to his room on the upper story of the court house. As I continued on my journey down the South Road, I noticed in the distance a black cloud of dust, and speeded up my car a little, so as to overtake the cause of the disturbance. As I drew nearer, I noticed that it was the Wappingers car, going at the rate of about six- ty miles an hour, regardless of the fact that just in front of it was an exceedingly sharp curve. I knew that if the motorman did not slow down, the ear would certainly leave the rails. And sure enough. As the car struck the curve, it leaped from the tracks, jumped the stone wall on its left, and landed in an open field. I shuddered at the awful sight, and immediately stopped my machine, and ran to the spot of disaster. Three of the passengers were killed instantly, and a nmnber severely hurt, among which number was the motorman. I was particularly curious to see who the motorman was who had conducted his car so carelessly, and ran to the spot where he lay, helpless. Great was my surprise to find he was no other than Clapp, the famous drill master of my prep. school days. Not knowingjust what to do, I looked about to see if perhaps there was some one of the passengers who was not hurt, and who possibly could assist me. Just in back of 111e, I heard a husky voice exclaim Courses omittedb, I'll be late-I know I'll be late! I thought the bull-like voice sounded familiar to me, and on turning around-sure enough, it was Ernst Russell! After a mutual exchange of Wlldfs 4 W W Im 1 Q AW? M N .. , I U- , Y 1554 ,..-- ,. - .1- ' s i . 7? y , as i if I T, 'x it I fjf my J im ff! ,....-- Q-f greetings, I suggested that we had best begin to lend aid to the injured. VVell, said Ernst, I'm a veterinary doctor myself so ean't be of much assistance to many of these people. However, I can work on Clappf, After giving him a few doses of horse medicine, Clapp re- vived sufliciently to be removed to the nearby cemetery. After the remainder of the injured ones had been taken care of by a real doctor, I took Ernst in my car with me and together we went as far as the Falls, where, for some unknown reason, Dr. Russell thought he had better leave me. On the Main Street corner at lvappin- -4. ' 1 455- H f I gers, my at- tcn tion was attracted to a short, exceed- ingly thin fig- ure, clad in a b utch er's garb, stand- ing behind a booth strung with la r g e , German sau- s a g e s . I thought that that face looked somewhat familiar to me. As soon as he noticed me, he shouted a word of greeting and I recognized old Sausage Harcourt, whom I knew when a boy and with whom I went to school. I stopped and conversed with him for a short lime, during which conversation he informed me that he was living a dog's life, but that his business was certainly increasing. Do you know, he said, only last week I sold three thousand sausages to Dr. I3artlett's school for girls at Dobbs Ferry. You remember IVolly, don't you? After wishing Sausage every success in his business, I continued on my way, fully determined to stop and see Dr. Bartlett and his school at Dobbs Ferry. I drove up to the school at about Q P.M. and en- quired at the office forthe prineipal. They informed me that just at present he was teaching a class, but that I might see him if it were absolutely necessary. Someone took my card down to Prof. Bartlett, and brought back the reply that I should come down to his class room. I was ushered into an enormous room, in the center of which stood Ivolly, just as cheerful as ever, clad in a 5? M I sg Q ' 1 3- 39. M white linen suit and cap. teaching a class in DomestieScience. His particular theme for thc day was How to cook a hard boiled egg. Fortunately, I arrived there near the end of the period, and did not have to stand the strain for long. As soon as the girls had left the room fand there were some three hundred of themj, I went up and shook hands with Dr. Bartlett and asked him with what success he had met as the principal of a girls, institution. He started to laugh. Still at itf' he said, here I have been demonstrating the method of cooking hard boiled eggs, and the girls never noticed that I was using a china egg as a demonstratorf' After having been shown around the buildings, I bade Yvolly farewell, and again started on my way. In due time I E reached New York City, and started down 5th Ave. at I a good rate of speed. Suddenly, a big, burly, curly- headed policeman held me up for speeding. As soon 25 as he recognized - i- an feng st x X me, he started to smile-that gave him away. Well, Dutch, I said, 'fwhat have you been doing since I last saw you at Riverview in 1911. He in- formed me that after he was graduated from Cornell, where he had won his C for break- ing the smile record, and where he had been put out of sixteen boarding houses for robbing the pet dog's breakfast every morning, he had joined the police force in New York City. Since that time, he had been diligently working on the mystery of the Empty Taxicab, and had Hnally come to the conclusion that there was nothing in it. Y0u'd better stop and see Judge Crum, Ciara -, QM? he concluded, ' whose office is just across the way theref' As ' ' I entered the court room, I C could tell by the A strained expres- sions of the faces of all present, v that a very im- ll ----Y portant case was -F + being tried. - Judge Percy sat in a large chair at one end of the room, his silvery top in strong contrast with the black upholstering of the chair, and listened at- tentively to the case in hand. I gathered from a bystander that the fuss was about a woman whom a certain druggist had accused of stealing 100 boxes of talcum powder. The room had become quiet. Presently Judge Crum arose, his stately figure awed the entire court room to silence. The case is no case at all he said. This druggist can't make a charge out of talcum powder! Every one was satisfied, and the court was adjourned. Judge Crum slipped out in the crowd some- where before I Mid! could speak to ' -P him, so I again I took to my gaso- 9 line buggy. , I I . I had not gone imqtl very far, before a most spectacu- ' lar sight con- ' fronted me. A l A most gorgeous parade was com- L 'A-so ,il ,ingdown liroad- - -, - way, headed by the best music in the country, the Riverview band. So far as I could judge, the parade was in honor of some most lordly personage, for such banners as Long live the general, The cleanest sweep in the country, etc. ware to be seen on all sides. Bye and bye, the general himself approached, seated in an open carriage in company with the Mayor, and a few other noted personages of that city. Of one of the excited bystanders, I asked what this great man had done to deserve all of this honor and who he was. Why, don't you know, he asked me, that is General Gildersleeve, lately appointed, of the New York street cleaning department. lfVhy, he is the best of his kind the city has ever had. His education even makes it possible for l1in1 to talk with the Greeks on the street corners, and tell them to stop throwing banana skins all over the streetf, Then I remembered the General Gildersleeve up at school, and rejoiced that one of my class mates at least enjoyed such a distinctive position. In the 1nidst of the A' crowd, came to my at- cf' -'WH .tention a tall, dark, .gf ' kinky haired individual whom I at once recog- ., 'W li gr' nized as lieak Quin- !-ii t. .1 A 12 . .' ,- ws I arc. s us name sig Q V mhes, the protrusion on 'f ffl' the front part of his face was by no means a small one, and as it seemed to , ll' me that day at least, had ,ii grown larger with age. He wore the same smile .iw f - on his face that I had known way back in '11, and with outstretched hand, which rivaled even Lauer's mouth itself in size, he advanced to greet me. During the course of the conversation, I asked him what he was doing for a living. Why, I've been dabbling more or less into politics, since leav- ing eollegef' Beak informed me. My latest achievement has been in passing through Con- gress a bill, providing that civilians may be allowed to call more than once in four weeks, on the girls at Tebo I'Iaviland's school just north of Poughkeepsie. I have succeeded in obtaining the limit of not more than four times per week, and am now on my way up to take advantage of my opportunity, he chuckled as he sped on down Broadway. Q if N 1. im.. xX . fc ,., . W X ,, ' 1 7 NN t 9- X As it was getting rather late in the day and I did not wish to remain in New York City over night, I decided to show a few signs of speed and vacate the angry village as soon as possible. The old proverb, Haste makes wasteu was certainly exemplified in my ease, for I had not gone one hundred yards, when a man started to cross the street just in front of me. I threw out my clutch and jammed on my brakes as quickly as I could, but in vain. My machine passed Cas I learned afterwardj directly over his head, breaking my front wheel all to pieces as well as the axle. Not only did it damage my machine severely, but the impression of his head put a dent in the asphalt pavement about a foot in depth. I jumped out and pulled the unconscious individual from under the ma- chine and-Horrors! it was Bone-Head DeOna! His head was sensibly not marred a bit, and he seemed to breathe freely. I took him to the nearest hospital, where, in about 15 minutes, he became conscious again. When I told him he had had a very narrow escape, he only laughed, and said he had had lots of things happen to him more serious than that, the worst of which was a railroad wreck in which he took part the week before, 15 cars and the engine were piled on his wiry sky piece, in which position he stayed for two days, after which the burden was removed from his head, and he was allowed to go his way in peace. I apologized for running over him, put my machine in a near-by garage, and contrary to my wishes, stayed in the city that night. It was some days before my machine was again i11 running order, and I could continue my journey. And this part of my journey was the most uninteresting of all, as far as my acquaintances were concerned. The scenery to be sure, was perfect, and as I went further south, I could not help but note the difference 'J f' -. In 1 J Nl! f , - !, v In in the habits and appearance of people with whom I came in contact. When I reached New Orleans some weeks later I saw an invention which dumbfounded me. There was a man, out on the Mississippi River, apparently walking on the water. As l1e drew nearer shore, I recognized him to be Rube Hiller. And what do you think old Rube had done? Nothing less than model his dainty shoes into gun boats, by the aid of which he was able to walk on the water. But this was not his only achievement. I learned froln one of the inhabitants of the town, that Gun Boats had won hundreds of medals in foot races all over the world, and that his record for the hundred yard dash had been reduced to 4153 seconds. Had I had more time, I would have certainly stopped and congratu- lated Rube on his success as an athlete, but I was in a very great hurry and decided that speed would have to be my middle name if ever I expected to get back home again. 'A' After some uneventful weeks I reached San i ' I Francisco where I re- mained but a few days I after which I started for home. The west- ern country was at its ' '- f best, at least so far as nature was concerned. I never had seen the 1 wheat fields in better ' trimv-in fact, all of the farm products appear- ' ed to be at their best. My attention was call- 4-4 Z. , I . f . fr I Z H- L-nv X I!! ed in particular to one farm where there seem- ed to be nothing but cabbages-cabbages as far as the eye could see. The apparent owner of the farm was weeding his field when I yelled- out to him, How are crops coming? Purty pert, was the brief response as he turned toward me and I recognized Silas Lee Husted, by gosh. Well, Leeu I said, this is a surprise. How did you ever happen to land out here? Wal,,' Lee replicdf, crops warn't very good back in Stanfordville, so I thought I'd git a-head of the people there and come out here and work. You see how I have prospered, as he proudly viewed his patch. You certainly have, I replied, as I hiked it down the road. . Wlhen I reached Chicago, ' ' 5 an individual conspicuous My because of his littleness of stature accosted me. Need- ! I less to say the gentleman was .ix 4. Dr. A. E.Ralston, more com- ii monly known as Pee Wee. - Of course, I wanted to know fi how he happened to be in Chicago, what he had been f doing, etc. I will not at- tempt to draw out his speech as he drawled it out to me, as Briefly, he had been crossed in love fpoor boyll which nearly wrecked his whole career. After this terrible blow, he life is too short. entered the ministry, since which time he had put many a weary man to sleep during the course of his long drawn-out sermons. I took lunch with the Dr. that noon. During the 1 l--- e fi I ' 'K ' course of our conversation, hetold me that a fellow class mate of ours, a Mr. VVarren, was at present the manager of one of the largest peg-topped trousers factory in Chicago, fancy corduroys being his specialty. That after- noon we stopped around at his office, and found old Beau fast asleep in his IVIorris chair. I hated to wake him up hut not having seen him in some time, I was quite anxious to have a little chat with him. We succeeded, after violent shaking, in waking him up. He was awfully glad to see us, and showed us through his plant. Together with his famous peg- topped corduroy trousers department, he had lately instituted a fancy sock department, green socks being his specialty, and his largest seller. Beau soon became tired of inspecting his own factory, and laid himself down on a pile of trousers, and was soon fast asleep again. We continued our way through the different departments of his factory unaided, and left him to his misery. I left Dr. Ralston shortly after three that afternoon, and in the course of a few days reached home again. My tour was an event of the past. W W .aim XKWW We 'fog' 0 '- Q7 l..incoln's Address No. 2 A Three score and fifteen years ago, somebody brought forth upon this continent, a new school, conceived in torture, and dedicated to the proposition that everybody walks delinq. N ow we are engaged in a great debate, testing whether this school, or any other school, so conceived and dedicated can long endure. We are met in a great room of that school CRoom GD. We have come to dedicate a portion of that room as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives in the study of geometry. But in a larger sense, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this room. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or divide. The world will little note, nor long remember what Chesty says here, but it can never forget what he did here, we highly resolve that this room, under Mr. Bartlett, shall have an new set of easy chairs, and that geometry of the school, by the school, and for the school shall not perish from the earth. 27 THE LOST CHORD The Seniors 1YA1.'l'lClt A. li.'XIt'l'I.l'1'l l'.

OFF FOR TAFT History Although Riverview Academy celebrates its seventy-fifth anniversary this June, it is interest- ing to note that this celebration marks lnerely the founding of the school here in Poughkeepsie. Through an examination of records at Utica, however, it has been discovered that before coming to Poughkeepsie, Mr. Charles Bartlett had a school at Utica, known as the Utica Gymnasium. This school he founded in 1827 and conducted for eight years, when he moved to Poughkeepsie and started College Hill. This June, therefore, marks not only the celebration of the seventy- fifth year of College Hill-Riverview, but the eighty-fourth of the school, all under consecutive management. Since College Hill was founded the school has not lost a day. The Utica Gymnasium, to quote from Bagg's Memorial History of Utica, was a school of considerable note throughout the State, and the only boarding school for boys that ever con- tinued for much length of time in Utica. Its founder and principal was Charles Bartlett. He had previously for a short time conducted a select school on Washington Street . . . before starting the high school. For the latter purpose he leased the house and farm at the lower end of Broad Street which had belonged to Dr. Solomon WVolcott. The farm comprised from sixty to eighty acres and was taken in charge by Joseph Bartlett, brother of Charles, and as the latter remained unmarried he was aided in the domestic part of the school by the family of his brother- in-law, Jeremiah VVarring and next by his own brother, Dudley. VVhile those families occupied a part of the buildling the rest of it was given up to dormitories, dining hall, recitation-rooms, etc. Here the session was begun in the autumn of 1827. The annual expense to each pupil was 58200 Cafterwards reduced to 5B150j.,, Besides their regular studies the pupils were also taught horse- back riding, swimming, gardening, were exercised in gymnastics, and listened to lectures in chem- istry, botany, mineralogy, etc., from the teachers in this department, and made frequent excur- sions into the surrounding country in pursuit of knowledge in some of these branches. Careful attention was given to morals and deportmentg the pupils were required to attend church on Sunday and were instructed in the Scriptures on Sunday evening. Among the teachers who were 37 prominent in this school besides the principal was Dr. Asa Gray, the distinguished botanistf, A new school-house was built in 1828 and was unique in character. It was of brick, two stories high, but with only one room and semi-circular in form, with its flat side and entrances toward the street. Around the inside of the whole half circle were ranged two series of stalls, one above the other, and wide enough for a single desk in each. Thus each pupil was unable to communicate with his neighbor and was in plain view of his teacher, who sat opposite in the center of the circle. There was an annual attendance at the school of upwards of forty, the larger munber of whom were from Utica. Among those who were more or less distinguished were the two eminent professors of Yale College, James D. Dana, the naturalist, and S. Wfells VVilliams, the Chinese scholarg Alexander S. Johnson, judge of the Court of Appeals of this State and afterward circuit judge of the United States: and lilorris S. Miller, brevet brigadier-general U. S. A. A fire which in the year 1835 destroyed the second of the school houses caused the dis- ruption of the establishment, and so fa.r embarrassed the principal that he abandoned the field. He removed to Poughkeepsie and the1'e kept a successful school until his death. The Poughkeepsie Collegiate School, a classical and commercial school, says James H. Smith, in his history of Dutchess County, perpetuated in the Riverview Academy, a classical, English and military boarding school, was incorporated by the Legislature lVIay Q6, 1836, and by the Regents, Feb. 9, 1839. It was one of the fruits of the 'Improvement Party' in Poughkeepsie, with whose assistance it was founded by Charles Bartlett, who had previously conducted for some six years in Utica, N. Y., a school on essentially tl1e same principles as were embodied in this. lVIr. Bartlett was burned out in Utica about 1835, when he removed to Nlatteawzfn in this country, and was associated with Rev. Mr. lVickham in the management of a school in that place for a year. In 1836, having been invited to open a school in Poughkeepsie, he casually visited that village and the afterwards classic grounds of College Hill, which, he remarked to friends who accom- panied him Cmembers of the Improvement Partyj, would be a beautiful site for a school. He was asked if he would t.ake charge of a school if one was built for him, and he answered that he would. 38 In 1836, the brick building now on College Hill was erected, at a cost of S54-0,000g and rented to Mr. Bartlett, who opened a school there in November of that year. assisted by eight teachers. Mr. Bartlett continued at the head of the school until his death, April 24, 1857, at the age of sixty years. On the death of Mr. Bartlett, he was succeeded in the management of the school by Charles B. 1Varring and Otis Bisbee, who conducted the school for five years, when, in 1862, RIP. 1Varring retired and established the Institute ol' which he is now Q1882D the efficient head. M1'. llisbee continued the school, and in the year C1862J introduced the military feature, which is now a prominent one in the school. As a result of the changing hands ol' the College Hill property, George Morgan purchasing it, Otis Bisbee decided to establish the school elsewhere aml as a result built Riverview Academy, supervising and planning the construction of the main building himself. Then in the spring of 1867 the school marched down to the present location and took formal possession. Not a day was lost. Since tlien the College Hill property has had several owners. It failed when opened as a hotel and was finally purchased by John Guy Vassar for use as an orphan asylum for Dutchess County. However, it was never used for this purpose. Only a few years ago it was purchased by 1Villiam WV. Smith of this city and presented to the city for a park. Otis Bisbee was joined in the school work by his son, Joseph B. Bisbee, in 18'79 and in the same year also by lVIr. Harlan P. Amen. In 1883 Mr. Amen became one of the principals of the school and upon the death of Mfr. Otis Bisbee in 1885, the firm of llisbee and Amen was at the head of Riverview Academy. The school continued its usual activity and in 1888 it was necessary to construct at new lmilding, the Annex. This proved inadequate and about 1892 the building was enlarged to its present proportions. In 1895 Mr. Bisbee became sole proprietor of tl1e school, when Mr. Amen left to become principal of Phillips-Exeter. To meet the demands of the school the presentathletic field across Lincoln Avenue from the school was purchased in 1900, and in 1906 the Charles Bartlett gymnasium was formally dedicated to the founder of the school. This in brief covers the life of the school, now Riverview Academy. Doing its work, slowly and carefully, the academy has sent out hundreds of boys who have proved the value of its train- ing which is the result of eighty-four years of consecutive management. 39 GRANDSTAND AT PEEKSKILL GAME IN FOOTBALL THE JUNIOR 1 .f V 1 CLASS OF l9l2 Class of 1912 F.

West Point Qd, 11.l In my annual review of the season of 1909 at Riverview it was stated that the results accom- plished with 1Q0 boys, many of them too small to play ball, seemed little short of marvelous. Riverview in 1910 has taken another stride forward and more marvelous results accomplished. The team of 1910 went through the season without a tie or defeat, scored the grand total of 221 points to 14 by opponents. The team was heavy, fast, and possessed a great deal of football knowledge. 49 The following figures will give a good idea of the power of The Great Team z WEIGHT AGE PLAYER POSITION 204 Sanchez, A., Center. 170 Russell, P., Full Back. 158 Russell, E., Left Half. 150 Stuart, Right Half. 190 Saxton, Left Guard. 169 War1'en, Left End. 165 Hutchinson, Right End. 168 Kimball, Quarter and C tpt un 168 Quintard, Right Guard 170 Heaton, Right Tackle 166 Lauer, Left Tackle Average weight of line, 175 2-7 g average weight of backs, 160234, average weight of team, 1703 average age, 18.2. I N .B.-The above are stripped weights. The above shows an evenly balanced team. .Associate in mind the fact that these men knew football and it is at once clear why they were winners. They had the goods and knew how to deliver them. Indeed they deserve to class along with such college teams as Yvilliams or Bucknell. I shall now analyze each player and his work. Sanchez-Center, very heavy, a ,first class passer, and while not good in breaking through or open field tackling, nevertheless able to stop almost every play aimed at his position. Russell, P.-Full Back, heavy, compact and muscular, very fast, starts at full speed, hard to tackle, dodges well, uses stiff arm perfectly, tackles hard and sure. You are not in the Williams or Bucknell class, you are in the Yale or Harvard class and with my 11 years' football experience, there I put you., 50 Russell, E.-Left Half, fast, a sure ground gaincr, and a vicious tackler. Injured in the Taft game, had the sand to continue. Nfade of as good football stuff as I have ever seen, the right kind to admire, and it doesn't spoil him to tell him so. ' Stuart-Right Half, first year on the team, very fast, good open field runner, fair taekler, fair on handling punts and with another year's experience and weight should be of high class. Saxton-Left Guard, good on offense and defense. Showed signs of making good tackler, speedy at times in getting down under punts and getting the runner. Ought to be able to play a rattling good taekler position. lVarren-Left End, first year at Riverview and could not be kept off the team. Played pos- ition of center for a time, but after making good it was decided his services would be more valuable at end. Fast and sure on tackling a forward pass. He knows football. Hutchinson-Right End, first year at Riverview, a willing worker, takes coaching well, a good punter, accurate forward passer, and sure on receiving a forward pass, played position of back when substitution had to be made in back field, thus handicapped but able to play two positions. Has a natural football head, the right spirit and makes an all round good player. Kimball-Quarter and Captain, good captain and could do anything called for in football, excellent punter, excellent forward passer, good on handling punts, good at receiving forward pass, good place kicker and good on carrying ball through the line. He also is entitled to travel witl1 highest class teams. Quintard-Right Guard, first year on team and by hard work made the team, and a great deal of credit belongs to him. Heaton-Right Taekler, first year on the team, but would have been on past teams but for injuries, keeps quiet and plays the game for all he is worth, as a man should. He gets results. Lauer-Left Tackler, an excellent player, lots of experience, fast on getting down under kicks, and a power on breaking through. Many opponents will remember him, lots of ginger, and dash, and the hardest man in the line for opponents to handle. The above will give the reader an idea of what we had moulded together at the end of the season into a team. Up-to-dfjl'w imtball was played. 5l The runner always got the ball on a direct pass from center, really doing away with the Quar- ter as formerly used. The team knew when to punt and when to forward pass and when the time came to do so they invariably accomplished their object. Bethart, DeOna, Hiller, Jones and Terrazas, L. fell but little short of making the team. More than one of them will be found on next yea1 s team. Of the 1910 team six players were left over from the 1909 team. The men entitled to wear the star are, Kimball, Russell, P., Russell, E., and Lauer. This has closed the greatest season in football Riverview has ever known, a season in which the spirit was never better, cooperation between coaching staff and players of the best, so all honor to Captain Kimball and his team of 1910. You are deservedly proud of yourself and your team. I take off my hat to you, for in your victories I rejoiced much and we didn't have to mourn for you didn't care to lose. Nl Robert E. Boycrs. CAPT. KIMBALL 52 CAPT. HAVILAND l9l0 BASEBALL TEAM Baseball . The baseball season of 1910 was in most respects successful. Starting with a nucleus of three members of the 1909 team, the prospects for a successful season were 11ot particularly bright. .Building a new team around Haviland, Kimball and Lauer was a problem which confronted the captain and coach, but excellent material appeared from the second squad of 1909 and the desire of each candidate to develop team play and co-operation made a good team possible. The season was begunwith a decisive victory over Ulster Academy and the following week probably the best game of the season was played against Pawling, defeating that school 7 to 2. If the team had continued at the pace displayed in the Pawling game, the four defeats of the season might have become victories. Defeats by the Taft school and Brooklyn might have been otherwise 'had the team displayed the steadiness of previous games. In the Newark game, Riverview was clearly outplayed by a superior team, However, all defeats were at the hands of good teams and teams to whom Riverview must give all credit. Led by Haviland as captain, there has seldom been a baseball season at Riverview in which such excellent spirit was displayed by any team. There was a spirit of work and win evident at all times and every player gave his best to the success of the team. It may be that another year will see more victories and fewer defeats, but, whatever another season may bring forth, future teams at Riverview can well look back to the team of 1910 as exemplifying the best in team play and school spirit. 77 BASKETBALL TEAM Basketball Summary QQ -:E .g 21 O 55' gj ca an 5- .,.

MUssELMAN, Moa. DeOna, at center, did not play a remarkable defensive game, but outscored his opponent in every game. His guarding, at times, was loose and he lacked aggressiveness. His accuracy at goal shooting was fairly reliable. Lauer, at left guard, passed fairly well and shot with moderate accuracy, intercepted passes frequently and used the dribble with good success. Thorpe, at right guard, played a strong offensive game. His defense was rather weak. He did not follow the ball under the basket close enough. Hutchinson, at left forward, excelled in passing and was quite accurate at goal throwing. His defense was excellent and few men scored against him during the season. Bethart, the diminutive captain, at right forward, played a consistent and aggressive game. l-Iis floor work and his accurate goal shooting were always in evidence. He was easily the fastest man on the team. Quintard R., at substitute center, was a worthy second man though he was rather slow. He threw baskets with fair accuracy, and followed the ball well. Russell, E., at substitute guard, showed considerable iinprovement as the season, advanced for he became a strong, defensive player. 58 I f CAPT. BETHART Sammy's Ride One bright and sunny April day, After the battle fit was shaml To Pawling, to the Baseball game, Rode the Indomitable Sam. N ow all went well until he came To Vassar, and I've heard it said, The sight of pretty maidens there Completely turned his youthful head. You see it happened in this way, VVhile gazing at some beauteous queen He turned his head so far, and Crash! A wagon hit his ehugg-machine. Into the road poor Sammy fell And fortunately missed being hurt, But both his noble steed and he Were slightly daubed with mud and dirt. With burning face and glittering eye Up rose poor Sammy from the earth, To him 'twas plainly evident The Queen could not control her mirth. Now when Sam came to Pawling mount, The afternoon was on the wane, And over towards some distant hills The clouds foretold a sudden rain. Sam judged 'twas high time to return 'Bout faced and started to go back, But oh! Alas! Poor misled Sam! He got mixed up and lost the track. 'Tis a lengthy lane, no turning hath Y ou'll often hear some people preach And the turn at the bottom of Breakneelx Hill, For sharpness and eurlyeues is a peach Poor Sammy hit the turf Kerthu1np! And you who read may be amused To know, that when his sense returned He found himself severely bruised. The harm to Sammy's ehugg-machine Was, in a measure, very slight, In fact it just turned out to be The smashing of his new headlight. So Sammy mounted, stiff and sore From head to toe he seemed to feel, And then those lowering clouds o'erhez1d Let down the rain upon his wheel. At last Poor Sam got buck to school But no one recognized him there, This could not be the handsome youth Of College clothes and parted hair! Sam hit the hay at seven sharp, He cared not what the world might s:Ly,', Next morn they moved him higher up: He just got out the other day. Now don't you think it rather sad, I dof' for I agree with Michael, That :my hoy with three good feet Should want to ride :L motorcycle?

Who came back, the new sights to see No bachelor's life, he's leadin' Since he met Glen Eden He's moved his home to Poughkeepsie. 70 lf I-X W fy X ,QQ xihw' !!,,.-N ,qw ' milf 52 M Lff.,-f' ' , 11' by VZ! 7 . as W3-A-19's W --,.
