When you graduate from college or preparatory school you have a certain amount of wisdom at your command. According to one headmaster, 30'Z, of this amount should come from books, the other 70025 from rubbing up against the real dirt -from actual experiences. So, all those books you will have represents about one-third of what you should know. Verily, some of you will have to work hard to make up that other two-thirds. There are two ways of getting this necessary two-thirds: Personal contact with the professors, and personal contact with the fellows. If you imagine professors are professors in class and out of class-as most of you do-for heaven's sake believe what is written here! You will never find more amiable companions or truer friends than the masters, if you will only go to them as friends and not as enemies. Remember, they have been for some time what you are still aim- ing to be-men of the world. They can tell you things that you cannot learn in any other way except by experience-and they can tell you, too, that experience is a hard school . Every hour you spend with a master outside the class-room does you twice as much good as an hour inside. You need not be afraid of neglecting your work, either. If you have a master who is your friend, he will see that you do enough work to pass his class. at least. Not to heed advice is such a strongly formed habit, however, that all you are told is not set down on the wisdom side of the leger. You must, in the last analysis, learn more or less in the none- too-gentle world. In prep. school and in col- lege this means mixing with the fellows and in the school activities. You may learn to fight battles, and to fight them well, on gridiron, diamond or basketball court. You may fight, and just as strenuously, other battles on the monthly or year-book board, in earning a scholarship, or even in blufling your way. But everywhere, no matter how you turn, if you are to gain the two-thirds part of your edu- cation, you must do it by personal contact with men and fellows. There is no other way. Why not? The proper study of mankind is man . Pope was right, right-even the third of your education you get from books comes indi- rectly from men's lips! Get your nose out of a book and consort with men if you really want to learn-mix. Mix with the ' 'real dirt . Q Y 1 C ' 0 ff! ff W! -i 1 -O '- iii N I QP If ,.. - !:.r :BNf'.' X nf' 'ZFX 5635?

Having a few idle moments at my disposal, I decided to visit again the scene of our up-town-night soirees, and bought a ticket for Cohen's. The familiar sights and sounds and smells had conjured up new memories of the old days'.', and I was so rapt in reminiscence that I failed to notice the photos and the glaring posters which lined the sarcophagus-like foyer. Quite in the old fashion, I gave my ticket to the female at the gate, and was politely told to go down-stairs. Meekly I obeyed, and was shown to a rickety seat by the Hdemure spinster in attendance below. After the orchestra's agonized rhapsodies had come to a triumphal demise, the curtain and the moving picture screen changed places, and I braced myself for the ensuing fillum . The an- nouncement of a five part picture flashed up be- fore me and I saw with astonishment that the title role was to be played by Elliott William Smith. The picture dealt with the adventure of an in- nocent country youth, who, forced to seek a living in the big city, was led into complications with one temptress after another. In the end, how- ever, the simple charms of the girl back home on Hooker Avenue prevailed and all ended hap- pily in a dance-on the back drop, for they had pulled up the movie sheet too soon. I squinted vainly through the darknessg then the lights came and I read by the mis-spelled placards- Handsome Harry, Monologistn. It was Harry Cleveland, that was easily to be recog- nized by the heavy tread which I had so often heard outside my door before reveille. At the center of the stage he paused, and, bowing grace- fully, began his monolog. It brought back the past very vividly, for his jokes were the same old ones, and his puns were as far-fetched as ever- Pass the butter, please, you 'butter' hurry. As I was eating my roast duck tonight, I thought of facing this audience, and I thought I better duck . Faint cries of You 'butter' were heard in the audience. He Enished his spiel without acci- dent, however, and began his favorite ballad, THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Passcrs-by . It was very pathetic. In re- sponse to the applause he gave a concluding speech which began- Long practice alone has made my tongue so supple and my wit so bril- 1iant. i He was wrong, the practice had not been alone, it had been down at table-he was wrong in the other things, too. I eagerly awaited the next act, which was billed as Thomas E. Caruso . My suspicions were aroused by the sign and confirmed when Tom Parker appeared on the stage, dragging a piano after him. On the piano was a banner, Hyde Park. After dressing the piano and giving Front ! Tom took his place at the keyboard and began- I stood on the bridge at midnight . He gave us all his old favorites- Absent , ' ' Good-bye , I kissed her twenty times or more, but I alas am only four -this he had evidently rearranged since he sang it in school-and Ein Feste Burg . He pounded the bass so hard in the flagellation of this piece that several keys were splintered and a new piano had to be provided. Throughout his act were visible traces, only half subdued, of the same gestures and expres- sions that Tom had put to such good advantage in impersonating Mr. Kelley from Kalamazoo . I thrilled with pleasure at recognizing them, for I alone knew, their real source. As Tom was bowing after his last song, Harry stuck his head out of the wings and yelled I didn't know he Caruso . Tommy threw the piano stool at him, but at this critical juncture his basketball eye failed him and he missed his mark. Can this, too, be one of my old friends? I said aloud, as the placards announced Rollo Rivoli . So Sullivan was appearing as a quick- change artist! He lolled lazily onto the stage attired as a traveling salesman, but nobody was fooled for a minute. After setting down the dress suit case he was carrying, he walked off, only to reappear twenty minutes later as Dicken's Tiny Tim. This grotesquerie made a belated hit. He withdrew, and, only fifteen minutes later this time, came on again as Victor Hugo. In this guise he recited in French seven verses each be- ginning with Est-ce que , He bowed again and the insomniacs applauded as the curtain fell. His act had been a restful one. After Sullivan's act, the manager of the thea- tre, in whom I was surprised to see Mr. Clancy, THE 19l6 RIVERVIEW ORBIT erstwhile of the Dutchess, stepped from the wings and announced in honeyed tones that Mr. Smith, whom we had just seen in pictures, would favor us with a personal appearance. He drew back, the drums blared, but no Smith came mincing out. The audience, in a fever of excitement, was forced to wait Eve long minutes before he came rushing on. You will forgive me , he said, but I just fell in love again-my, what a queen l We forgave him, as they always did at school, and he went on: -But such a practical audience-I had prac- tically forgotten you, as I do practically all of my practical audiences. Now, I want to tell you a little about my work , etc., etc. Leslie Hill was the basis of all his acting, so he said. This famous part had become ingrained into his very soul-. The house went wild. His efforts had borne fruit. Schwartz, Marvellous Mathematieiann, said the sign. Well , thought I to myself, t'Sehwartz mathematics always were marvellous. Ned had changed greatly. He was taller- and thinner. He stood before us, clothed in black. His assistant was dressed to represent the goddess of memory. Schwartz must have been feeling a bit under the weather, for twice he failed to add up a ten- digit column of figures in less than three seconds, and there was a forgetful look in his eye. To show that he was an adept at all branches of mathe- matics, he balanced two spheres in his hands so that they were parallel, a truth which he had maintained in Solid Geometry. At the close of Ned's act a lamentable accident occurred. As he stood bowing at the front of the stage, the rapidly descending curtain caught him unawarcs. They bore his senseless form sad- ly away to Vassar hospital, while the Hmovie curtain fell quickly to quell the excitement. Comedy succeeded tragedy, for the picture was Charlie Chaplin . Imagine my surprise, how- ever, to recognize in Charlie's right-hand man- Clink . It was hc, he who received all the kicks in the stomach and had all the plates broken over his head. He was the goat. I rejoiced. I had been his room-mate for two years, and I had always been the goat before. When Charlie hit him in the face with an egg, it reminded me of Clink using his massage cream. When Charlie turned the hose on him, it brought to mind the time when DceK fainted on Pizie's bed. THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT It was Clink here, there, and everywhereg al- ways reminiscent of the former days when Clink galloped his way through prep. school with his ever-ready wit. The picture ended, and the audience sar- dined its way out of the theatre, laughing tear- fullv. As I shouldered my way through the crowd, I heard a voice behind me saying-' 'You know, the long drink of water opposite Chaplin, he was in town today: came over from California with this guy Smith. Ahg good news, DeKlyn was in town. I hurried around to the stage entrance and was just in time, the old Riverview gang had just started to leave. We all went around to the German Tavern to renew the old ties that bound us to town and school. Parker, you're the highest ofiicer, you talk first. Tom helped himself to the mince pie and the Welsh rarcbit before replying. My dear Chris- tian friends, he said, when, in the last analysis it becomes necessary to choose between starting work in Von der Linden's and going on the stage, do you think there is any diliiculty in the choice? No, indeed! After I had spent six years in fighting my way through Cornell, I simply couldn't see selling suc- tion shoes and motor-cycles. I was offered an opportunity to earn my living by my voice, and as, at that time, my stomach was impinging on my backbone, I didn't let them wait on mc very long before I accepted. Since then I have been on the vaudeville stage, although my ambition is to play the Doctor in 'The Boomerang'. H'e hurriedly attacked the pie and the rarebit. DeKlyn, you're next. ' Well, said DeeK, you know better than anyone else what happened to me till we graduat- ed from Amherst. After that I went back to New York a while, but all my friends were gone, and the place seemed dead. I came up to the Park, and found all thc old characters dead or gone away-including Tommy. Winter came on, and I decided to go to California. It was fine out there under the orange-trees, but there wasn't anything to do, so I began pal-ing with the 'movie' actors and actresses. I met 'Charlie' and 'Sid' Chaplin, and the former persuaded me to join his company. He offered me good pay, but when I said I didn't want to become a pro- fessional, he said, 'Well, I'll bet you two thousand dollars you can't jump over this stick.' I did, and now I like the comedy stuff, and wouldn't quit it for some money. . It's Schwartz' turn to harangue, but I'm afraid he won't be able to leave Vassar hospital. I suppose we ought to go down and see him or something. THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT I'll go, said Smith, eagerly, reaching for his hat. You must speak first, then, you dcserterf' Smith began in a torrent of words. After I graduated, I went to sea- Who? yelpcd DeKlyn. -But changed my mind and went to Ber- muda instead. On the street there I saw Francis X. Bushman, and followed him on his trip around the world. After I got back, I was engaged to be married, but she died, again, but she threw me down-- How many flights? DeKlyn again. --For another, and in despair I remembered my histrionic talent and secured a position with thc Famous Players Film Company. I love my work-- Squelch him ! -A chorus. We did. I don't know how I got on the stage , drawled Mark Sullivan, who was next in 'turn, but I think it was by playing the French maid in some show or other. Soon, due to my influence at Vassar, I was able to obtain the lead in Rip Van Winkle. When this play finished its run, which was phenomenally long due to my superb por- trayal of the title role, I made up my present act, in which I have been appearing ever since. Some say I am a little slow in making my light- ning changes, but as long as the stuff gets across, why-I speak no language but my own-jer mawn jishf' Harry spoke last. After I had graduated from Amherst with you guys, and had built about sixty or seventy thousand Overlands, I decided to go overland myself. I obtained a position as cornetist in Sousa's band and traveled to many different parts of the country with him. Finally my comet broke, but I managed to horn in on a new line of work-huhuhuh! I got a job as barker in a circus, but was soon advanced to advertising agent on account of my vocal power. Tiring of this sort of work, I at last decided to go on the stage. The only position for which I was at all fitted was that of monologist, and that has been my business ever since. You see, 'I stick to my last', as the shoemakcr says. A word of apology and epilog. As Harry would probably say, this has been rather a stagy production. There is only one excuse to be offered, that is written at the begin- ning of this extravaganza. Doubtless none of these Seniors will ever appear on any stageg they will never take up any of the lines of work herein assigned: these things are not even to be wished for. Only, may they all, like the narrator, come again to the city where they have lived and ad- ventured-whcre the half of their golden days has been spent-to renew once more the old scenes, the old deeds, and the old friendships which center about Riverview, their prep. school.

'I 'rcasurcr Athletic Association 29 THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT jfnuthall On the first day of school the call for candidates was sent out by Captain Hyatt, and seven of last year's players responded, although the rest of the squad, with the exception of Noyes, a new man, was green material. The squad as a whole was very young and light. The usual scrimmage prac- tice was held again this year with the High School team, our squad not being large enough to pro- duce two teams. The season, taken in its entirety, could not be proclaimed a success, as the team failed to win half their games. This failure, however, cannot be laid to the unwillingness and inability of the team, but to the superiority of our opponents. The necessary shifting of men to various posi- tions to get them where they were most needful proved to be our stumbling block. Nevertheless, by the end of the season we had a backfield of good ground gaining ability and a strong charg- ing line. Below are a few points of each player's work. Captain Mills, one of the best centers on the Hudson River, was shifted to the position of half- back to strengthen the baekfield. He was in the game every minute and showed wonderful ability in putting life and fight into his team. Had he played his regular position he would, without doubt, have been placed on the All-Hudson team again. Gleason, G., who was elected Captain for 1916- '17, played his usual strong game at fullback. He was handicapped toward the end of the season by an injured leg, but nevertheless kept his old fight. We are expecting wonders from him next year. Noyes played his position of halfback in credit- able style. He was very speedy and when once loose was a hard man to stop. We much regret the loss of this man. Persiani started the season at tackle, but was later shifted to center. He was very aggressive and was an unusually good tackle. Thew and Gleason, I., the tackles, played a steady, consistent game although it was the first year of football for the latter. They should both develop into very good men in a few years. THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Leitch, W., and Reed played the guard posi- tions and played them exceptionally well, con- sidering their youth and inexperiencc. Reed only played in the last few games, but he showed pluck in great abundance. Smith, Schryver, Walsh and Fox as ends played very well and consistently. Fox showed won- derful ability at breaking up interference. Palmer, at quarterback, played a sturdy game. He possessed the knack of picking the weak spots in an opponent's line. He was the best broken field runner on the team, using the stiff arm perfectly. Poucher started the season in the backfield, but was forced to retire on account of a wrenched knee received in a practice game. We regretted his loss, as we were depending to a great extent on his punting ability. Schedule: Riverview Mount Pleasant 6. Riverview Irving 0. Riverview Mohegan 28. Riverview Stone School 13. Riverview Mohegan 41. Riverview Peekskill 36. Riverview Pawling Second 28 r THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Basketball Basketball practice was started in the gymna- sium a few days after the close of the football season. A very large and enthusiastic squad re- ported for the first workout. A few weeks after the commencement of practice the team played two preliminary games in the old gymnasium. The Monday night following the last of these games the gym. collapsed, and the 'basketball prospects looked rather dubious. After the Christmas vacation the team was al- lowed to practice and to play their games in the Poughkeepsie Y. M. C. A. In spite of these drawbacks the team developed into one of the fastest fives that has ever represented the school. The season was a decided success, the team losing only one out of twelve games played. A few words of criticism follow. Captain Palmer played a very steady game at left guard. He was very expert at dribbling the ball down the court through the opposing team, and his left-handed passing made him a hard man to get the ball away from. He had that primary requisite of a guard, the ability to keep his head and pass accurately. Parker was playing a very heady game at guard, when, at the injury to Poucher's knee which caused his withdrawal from the game, it was found expedient to shift him to forward. In this position his ability to play a fast floor game was well demonstrated, His aggressiveness and his accurate shooting made him the highest basket-scorer on the team. His passwork in particular was of a very high order. Crooks, after an absence of one year, again played the center position. His playing, es- pecially his passwork, was very brilliant. He was an accurate shot from the ecnter's floor posi- tions, and his foul-shooting was of excellent char- acter. He was very aggressive and showed that he could stand any roughness that his opponents wished to use. He led in number of points scored. Mills played a hard, steady game at guard. He still showed signs of football tactics, but this THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT had the effect of making him a very hard man to get away from. He was very speedy for his weight. His shooting was greatly improved over the previous year. DeCordova, N., played right forward and did it in very creditable style. He was the third cog in the team-work, and was a very hard man to cover on account of his size and the consequent ability to handle himself. Time and time again his op- ponents were surprised at his strength and ag- gressiveness when they came into contact with him. Smith played a rather steady game at forward, although he did not fit in the team-work very well. His strongest point, that of being always free , was cancelled by the small size of the Y. M. C. A. fioor. His shooting was brilliant and very ac- curate at close range. Hodge was a recruit from- the old junior team and showed up very well. His dribbling was his stellar point, although it was hard for him to con- form to the new rules in this respect. Many op- ponents were completely baffied by his speedy carrying of the ball down the floor. He shot in excellent form. Cleveland eaptained the second team, and was barely kept off the first five. His work was very painstaking, his pass-work accurate, and his close shooting deadly. He ranged the Hoor at pretty good speed and used his head every minute, while his weight did not lend itself easily to rough tae- tics. ' The schedule is given below: Riverview 39, Red Hook High 8.

THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Gpmnastits The collapse of the gymnasium did not deter Captain Hyatt from forming a Gym Team, a Horse Team, Boxing, Fencing, and Wrestling Classes. The Gym Team was composed of DeCordova, N. CCaptainD, DeCordova, G., Gleason, I., Per- siani, and Leitch, W. Others, who competed for the prizes, were Poucher, Thew, and Hodge. The team practiced consistently in the drill hall, in which a horizontal bar, parallel bar, and side- horse were set up. At the annual Gym Exhibi- tion given on the night of March 24th, three prizes were competed for by these meng The Colonel C. E. Hyatt Prize and The Foote Bros. Prize, for excellency in indoor athletics, and The Head- masters' Prize, for the greatest improvement in indoor athletics. The first Prize was won by Guy DeCordova, the second by Noel DeCordova. The improvement prize was won by Ivon Gleason. On the Horse Team were Schwartz CCaptainj, Palmer, Gleason, I., Persiani, Hodge, Leitch, M., Pike, and Schaaf. These men gave an exhi- bition on the vaulting-horse. The prizes, which were donated by Riverview Academy, were dis- tributed as follows: First Prize to Edward Schwartzg Second Prize to Waldo Palmer. ,Every Monday evening and Thursday after- noon boxing and wrestling lessons were held in the drill hall under tutelage of Mr. Frank Plensig, a well-known local amateur wrestler and boxer. Each class consisted of about twelve men, and the work proved very interestingf On the night of March 24th, together with the Gymnasium Contest, two exhibition wrestling matches and three boxing bouts were staged. On the wrestling team were Thomas E. Parker, Waldo E. Palmer, Laurence E. Crooks, and Stuart G. Pizie, while the boxing team was composed of C. Coulter DeKlyn, Waldo E. Palmer, George W. Gleason, Merrill A. Moore, Louis A. Schryver, and Gerald R. Thew. . The fencing team also was exhibited, giving two matches of high quality. The members of the fencing team were joseph DelCarpio CCoachJ, Charles A. Reed, Curtiss Persiani, and Guy De- Cordova. I F l v- N THE 1916 RIVE.RVlE'W ORBIT Baseball The season of 1916 opened with the entire squad of last year, excepting one man, Cunning- ham. With these veterans as nucleus, a strong team was built up. In the early spring the team elected Schwartz Captain for the 1916 season. After much shifting, the line-up was finally ar- ranged as follows: Lattin, catcherg Sullivan and Spratt, pitchers, Crooks, first base, Mills or DeKlyn, second base, Thew or Schwartz, short- stop, Poucher or Thew, third base, Gleason, G., left field, Moore or Schwartz, center field, Pal- mer or Cleveland, right field. Sullivan was again the mainstay in the box. His two years' experience made him a dependable pitcher. His hitting was very satisfactory. Spratt, a young southpaw , did good work considering that this was his first season on the varsity. His prospects of developing into a good pitcher are promising. His hitting was fair. Lattin improved considerably in his work be- hind the bat. His throws to second were nearly always perfect, while his hitting was reliable. Mills played a steady, conservative game at second, covering his territory in good style. He hit the ball hard, but not consistently. Schwartz again covered shortstop in a fairly good manner, although his throwing was erratic. At the bat he showed good waiting-out ability, and was fast on the bases. Thew's work in the infield was good in streaks, but his throwing was very accurate. He was a reliable hitter. Poucher, who covered the hot-corner , show- ed good form. His throws to the bags were fast and sure. His hitting was steady and his speed made it possible for him to beat out many infield hits. Gleason, G. was one of the fastest and most re- liable men in the outfield. His hitting was hard and timely, many of his drives being for extra bases. Moore's work in center field was very spectacu- lar. His hitting was fairly good, but he showed a slump over the previous year. He was the speed- iest man of the team on bases. THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT In the field, Schwartz was in his natural position, and was consequently able to do his best work there. He covered fa large amount of ground, and his throwing was much steadier. Palmer, in left field, was very steady, his throws to the plate being perfect. His hitting was timely, his favorite being the Texas leaguer . Crooks, at first base, played a steady game, his handling of wild throws being exceptionally good. His work with the bat was timely, and he drew many passes. ' Cleveland, who substituted in right field, cov- ered his territory well and was very fair in his hitting. Had he come out for practice more regularly, he would have been assured a place on the team. ' The schedule, as arranged by Manager Cleve- land, is given below.

L icutenant-Adjutant 53 THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT jllililitarp The plan for the military work of 1915-16 was laid on a more comprehensive scale than that of the previous year. The large number of ex- perienced cadets made the battalion a more per- fect unit. Although the collapse of the gymnasium neces- sitated our drilling in the State Armory at in- opportune times, or in the cramped quarters of the drill hall, the Exhibition Drill given at the Armory shortly before Easter vacation was pro- nounced the best ever . The program con- sisted of Parade, Battalion Drill, the loadings and firings, the bayonet exerciess, Butts' Physical Drill and a special exhibition of saber manual by the officers. The drill was followed by an in- formal dance. After the Easter recess a new department of the military training was instituted by Captain Hyatt, who returned from his vacation with four riding horses and formed a cavalry squad which took long rides and was consistently drilled in troop work. r In May the battalion was equipped with regula- tion service uniforms which were worn for the rest of the term. During the spring, also, ex- tended order work and problems were gone into on Thursday afternoons on the South Road and Beechwood Avenue, while the usual full-dress parades were held on Friday evening of each week. These were made more effective by the addition of white duck trousers to the full-dress uniform. The feature of the year was the exercise held at the Anniversary in May. The military pro- gram included Butts' Physical Drill, cavalry drill, Review, Parade, Battalion Drill, and Guard mounting. wlffff Q Q 62,1 A i Z Z 1916 S N U' WX ......

CROOKS 1 THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Bramatiics Shortly after the collapse of the gymnasium the idea of giving a play to supplement the rebuilding fund was conceived. Mr. Thomas very kindly offered to take charge of the necessarily tedious Work of directing the production. He chose a play with which he had previously had consider- able success, a farce-comedy, Mr, Kelley from Kalamazoo . Work was begun immediately in order to have the cast letter-perfect by the 7th of March, the date set for the presentation. In order to facilitate the Work, a dramatic club was organized. The officers were as follows: President ........... C. Coulter DeKlyn Stage Manager ......... Earle J. Kestcn Property Manager ...... Charles A. Recd Director ........ J. Carey Thomas, 2nd. Since rehearsals must, of course, be held at the school, the main school room was utilized as an impromptu stage, whose outlines were designated by pushed-back benches. The room was closed to all cadets not directly interested in the pro- duction. Rehearsals were held as many times a week as possible, when they did not interfere with other school activities. On the twenty-fourth of February Mr. Thomas called for the first dress rehearsal. Naturally, much amusement was caused by the appearance of some of the cast in female attire which was kindly supplied by Miss Minnie for the occasion. About this time, also, negotiations were concluded for the use of the stage at the Masonic Temple on Cannon Street, and after this the rehearsals were held there. Mr. Thomas set apart the Monday night pre- vious to the performance for a final dress rc- hearsal, and secured a few outsiders to act as an audience. About eight on Tuesday night the hall began to fill and the time the curtain went up an audience of about five hundred had assembled. After the performance, which was ended at ap- proximately ten o'clock, a short informal dance was held. The opinion of the great majority seemed to be that the affair had scored a hit, and many requests came in to have Mr, Kelley THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT repeated at some future date that it was prac- tically decided to give a second presentation some time in the spring. In giving the line-up of the cast, it might be well to say that the plot involves young Prentice in two love affairs, one desired, the other for- bidden. The denouement lies in the fact that the girl of his choice is the girl of his relatives' choice, so all ends happily. The cast: Clarence Prentice, a freshman Thomas E. Parker, '16 Madeline Sanderson, his intended fiancee J. Hunting Otis, '18 Henry Tetlow, an impressario, Prentice's uncle Charles L. Lumb, '17 Rufe King, Tetlow's nephew Merrill A. Moore, '17 Mary King, Rufe's wife. .Baltus Van Kleeek, '18 Rev. Ernest Frye, a minister C. Coulter DeKlyn, '16 Leslie Hill, an actress ..... Elliott W.

Scene: Raeton, a college town. Living room of Henry Tetlow's residence. THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Ghz 53013 On account of the collapse of the Charles Bartlett gymnasium, the annual Hop was held in the old drill hall. This was rather an innovation to the present generation, and brought back fondmcmories to the Alumni. The hall was very prcttily decorated with white bunting, fcstooned in stream- ers from the ceiling. The side walls and posts were banked with southern smilax, while banners and pennants of the various colleges almost covered the walls and gave a note of color to the usually dim interior. The orchestra was enclosed in one corner by bay-trees and streamers of smilax. A buffet lunch was served at eleven o'clock. A decided novelty was the ice cream, which was made in the blue and gold colors of the school, while the cake served with the cream had frosting of the same color. The music was furnished, for twenty-four dances, by Thomas' orchestrag the decorations by Murphy and Schaumberg. The sponsors of the dance were as follows: PATRONESSES - GENERAL COMMITTEE MRS. J.
