1923 RHS Alumni Association
Read this eulogy!
It turns up as a result of Project Arrow, the coordinated effort to make the RHS & Ridgewood Public Library collections of RHS Arrow Yearbooks an online reality. This 100 year old eulogy for teacher Eva Suydam, who is responsible for initiating The Arrow Yearbook publications, is from the February, 1923 Arrow Yearbook:
"The members of the Alumni Association of the Ridgewood High School, as individuals and as a group, feel most keenly the loss of Miss Suydam, our highly respected and dearly loved friend. Everyone, almost without exception, who has come into personal contact with her, either through class work or club activity, and so realizes, and appreciates, how unstintingly she gave of herself, to her boys and girls. Many of these boys and girls, now men and women, carried their friendship far beyond high school days, and always found in her an eager interest in their achievements and a spur to further efforts. The loss of this dear counselor will be felt, not only in Ridgewood, but in all corners of our country and countries abroad, wherever there lives a graduate of Ridgewood High School, still carrying with them the memory of her gentle kindness and quiet strength.
Ines C. Profumo,
For the Alumni.
Ms. Profumo quite obviously received an exemplary high school education!
However, it brings to mind the question of why previous Ridgewood High School Alumni Associations ceased to function.

The Fingerprint Of America
I came up to Macy's to see the flower show and as I wait for the doors to open...I see the faintest of reflections inside the faintest of puddles and as I put my phone down avoiding the bike riders...I was able to lift the faintest of fingerprints in strongest of winds.
This is a pure reflection shot on the scored green bike path just south of 35th street looking west to the northern most flag on the Broadway side of Macy's.
Time 959am.

Around The Village
March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day (3/21) which signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome. Last week ACCESS and the Village Council presented a proclamation at our public meeting. Grateful to everyone who helped make this happen.

You’re Saying It Wrong
It's time to flaunt the rules! Incredulous as it may sound, we've planned a truly climatic episode of You're Saying It Wrong this week. In case you haven't guessed yet-- but you seem VERY intelligent, so we're sure you did -- we're talking one of our fave subjects -- Confusables, those words that sound a lot like other words but have totally different meanings. (And ... if you like YSIW, tell your local public radio station to pick us up! More is good!)
