The excellent record of seven wins and one loss can he attributed to a hard working squad for the 1952 football season. The one loss came at the beginning of the season. With this loss in mind the team went on to win seven straight games and the MISL championship. The team was a very progressive one and oik with a lot of competition for each position. Even up to the last game two or three starting positions remained unsettled. This competition created a fighting spirit which was the winning factor in the bruising St. Paul Academy game. The whole team contributed to the season's overwhelming success. Such stalwarts as Julian McCaull and Paul Schmitt helped to make up one of the best lines Blake has ever had. A fast improving hackfield consisting of Mac Hyde, Bob Lundholm, Bob Cargill, and Tom Evans rolled tin 232 points, while star end Bill Dietz kicked 26 out of 32 extra point attempts. The line consisted of Bill Dietz. Jo Ritchie, Mark t eland, and Jim Dow at the end positions. The tackles were Julian McCaull and Dick Stenson, with Rusty Swan and Paul Schmitt at guards, and Gene Yeates alternating with Kit Heffel-finger at the center position. Twenty-one out of twenty-five players started in one game or another. 85

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Blake Athletic Association, which is made up of the student body and coaches of the athletic teams, takes up sevoal obligations each year. The most important of these duties i the athletic budget for the coining school year. Previous to this year much time had Ikcu needlessly wasted during chapel in discussing the budget. However, this year the budget was presented to the student body in advance of the meeting. As a result, all needless questions were avoided and the budget was quickly approved. Another accomplishment of the Association this year was to put the Athletic Store under its authority. Although each member of the student body is required to pay $15 for membership, the Association has incurred a debt over the years. It is now hojied that with the help of the Athletic Store this debt will soon Ik removed. The officers for the school year of 1952-53 were: I ’resident: Tom Evans Vice-President: Julian McCaull Secretary: Mac Hyde Treasurer: Mr. Love Advisor: Mr. Parks 84
