Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1913 volume:

FOREWORD XT is with mingled feelings of anticipation and trepidation that we, the editors of this, the 1913 (Callnyau launch our modest efforts upon our little world. Though we expect your criticism, we hope for your commendation. Have we wounded, we are sorry. Have we pleased, we are happy. In it all, and through it all, our aim has been to hold up a mirror to our own school life; and there let its strength and weakness, its pathos and humor be faithfully reflected. To all who have aided by suggestion or contribution, by praise or criticism, we are deeply grateful; and with this word of thanks and apology, we commend our little book to your hands. Kismet.

CHARLES BERTRAM NEWTON Headmaster , ( all The Blake School A Brief Historv In 1907 Mr. William McK. Blake opened a little school of about a dozen boys. The little school grew and prospered to the extent of overflowing from the pleasant but small quarters at 200 Ridgewood Ave., from which it was removed in the winter of 1910-11, to a commodious house, 1803 Hennepin Ave. In 1911, a group of men whose leader was Mr. Charles C. Bovey, seeing the field for a school on a larger scale in Minneapolis, arranged to take over the Blake School and to incorporate it under a board of trustees, thus putting it upon a permanent footing. As Mr. Blake declined the additional burden and responsibility of a larger organization, Mr. C. B. Newton was called from Lawrenceville School, and undertook his new duties in the fall of 1911, Mr. Blake continuing with the school as Senior Master. The newly organized school opened with fifty-five pupils in the Senior School, and thirty in the Junior School, a total of eighty-five scholars and eight teachers six men and two women. During the winter it was decided to proceed at once to look for a site and to construct a building adequate to the evident needs of the school. A fine location was found, after several months' search, and plans for a school building by Hewitt and Brown were accepted. Work on the building began early in May 1912, and school opened late in September in the new building. The Senior School began the second year of the incorporated school with an enrollment of one ... M • «FI ' • • .H ■yj'u ——- - « - -jaaa lit CalVpff n hundred and ten. The Junior School remained in town, at 1803 Hennepin Ave., with twenty-six pupils, making a total off one hundred and thirty-six. The teaching force was enlarged to ten men beside the Head Master, and three women at the Junior Department. This is the story of the Blake School to date—a remarkable story of growth and of splendid backing by the community. The beautiful forty acre tract of land on which it stands and the building combining good taste and good sense in every feature, are an endowment of which any school might be proud. During the Summer of 1913 the building is to be enlarged so as to afford larger facilities for play and exercise. Better even than grounds and building are the high ideals of the trustees and of all connected with the school. As a country day school it affords the best surroundings for boys to grow in, and as a semi-public institution one without any proprietary features it is untrammelled in the pursuit of its ideals simplicity, thoroughness, honor, and loyalty. m JS33L A - - A• r flvCVk A • ( Jk if vV ■!

Callpir n THE “BROWNS” AND THE “WHITES ’ ■L 5 to FP fifl Shortly after school opened last fall, the faculty divided the students into two divisions, the Browns and the Whites, each side having the same number of students. The idea was to cause rivalry among the two divisions in scholarship and athletics, and to raise the standard of both in the eyes of the students. A representative or scorekeeper was appointed for each side, and the points were to be awarded in the following manner: Monthly Honor Roll............. Term Honor Roll ........1st 15 points 2nd 12 points _____ 1st 20 points 2nd 15 points Junior Football Championship 25 points Winning “B”.___________________ 5 points Debates (Winning Side). ____ ______ 5 points 1st 3 points 2nd 1 point Extemporaneous Speeches ...............1st 5 points 2nd 3 points 3rd 1 point Track Meet .25 points (These are the main points, but there are many addi- tional minor events open to competition). The scorekeepers were requested to post, after each event, a bulletin of the total score up to date. During the last of October and the first part of November a track meet was held, the Whites being victorious 224 to 197. - - 2 • CallpyiCn a f 7 n J. xa=bfc f-T y Y9m On the November Honor Roll the Browns added 147 points and the Whites 102. At this time a number of the Browns in the Sixth Form held a meeting and discussed matters, trying to adopt methods that would make their division tlie winning side, for only a short time before, Mr. Newton had announced that the winners would be given an elaborate banquet. This inducement, of course, fired both sides with vim and a determination to win, or at least to give the other side a “ run for their money. ” At the close of the first term, December 20, after adding in the December and the Term Honor Roll points, as well as all Debate scores and the Cross Country Run, it was found that the Browns, for the first time during the school year led with a score of 699 to 550. From then on the Browns held first place, although closely pressed by their worthy opponents, the Whites. On February 6, the score was 828 to 645, the Browns leading. Several debates and extemporaneous speeches were held during February and March, and on March 28 the close of our second term, the score was 1426 to 1015, in favor of the Browns. On coming back after Spring Vacation, the Whites realizing that they only had six weeks in which to win, began a hard, uphill fight for first place, and, incidentally, the banquet. At the time this goes to press, the Browns are leading with a comfortable margin between themselves and their opponents, and unless some unforeseen action on the part of the Whites takes place, the Browns will undoubtedly win the contest, the dinner and the banner.

'(H l C .. i fl !W THE LIBRARY We are happy over the setting of our school; we are more than pleased with our building and its equipment; but our crowning glory is our library. To Mrs. M. B. Koon, Mrs. C. C. Bovey, and Mrs. C. I). Yelie, who, in memory of the late Judge Koon, have donated a sum suffiicent to place us at once in possession of a good, working library, we are gratefully indebted. The selections for this nucleus have been most happy. Of reference works there are Nelson's, Appleton’s, and the Americana the last contributed by Mr. G. B. Clifford and numerous lesser, though equally useful, books on science, art, and music. The history student can enjoy not only the familiar Macaulay, Green, Prescott, McCarthy, and Guizot but the more recent Park man, Fiske, Lodge, and Wilson. The “Story of the Nations’' furnishes in an abbreviated form much attractive reading. In addition, there are volumes relating to the intimate life of peoples, both ancient and modern, that offer opportunities for much interesting and profitable reading, besides many entertaining biographies. “The Call of the Wild has a full shelf to itself, books attractive to the average boy, all of them well chosen. Of general literature and fiction full sets, many of them attractively bound, line the shelves; Shakespeare, Cooper, Thackeray, Eliot, Poe, Dickens, Scott, Lowell, and Kingsley. Stevenson, Mark Twain, and Kipling come in for more than .-IT JK A a w 11 J. A Hlrw c • - usual interest on the part of many of the boys. There are two shelves of miscellaneous fiction; one adapted to the intellectual capacity of the older boys, the other to the younger. So far more patronage has come from the lower forms than from the upper. However, as a taste for good literature can be cultivated, we hope to see a more active interest taken in the library by all the boys. For an adjunct to the cultural side of our school we are indebted to Mr. F. W. Clifford, who has presented so generously to Blake a collection of fine pictures. No school, perhaps, with so few years behind it can boast of such notable productions upon its walls. In the chapel is Abbey’s Holy Grail series from paintings in the Boston Public Library; in the library, the “Canterbury Pilgrims”; in the halls Blashfield’s “Washington Resigning His Commission,” from a painting in Baltimore, and “The Source of the Mississippi,” from the decorations of the Minnesota state capitol. St. Gaudens’ “Lincoln,” with its notable suggestion of greatness, graces the stairway and the Shaw Memorial honors the entrance hall. “The Selkirks” by Bierstedt, “The Ship of the Desert,' “King Arthur,” “Ivanhoe,” “Houndsin Leash,”and portraits of Shakespeare and Cromwell add to the beauty of other rooms. Over the headmaster's desk hangs Abbey’s “Justice,” a suggestion that may be taken as the key note in the administration of the Blake School. It is in the power of the boys of the school to make worthy returns to our loving friends; more, it is a duty. Ur- m a ''” ■ • z ATHLETICS Athletic Advisory Hoard President - - Phillip J.

Dent J 41 is FOOTBALL J! m mf k 1 Although somewhat handicapped by a late start, lack of material, and an inadequate second team, the football season of 1912 was very successful and the Blake School team made a creditable showing. As a whole, the team, though light, found slowness to he its greatest weakness. Inability to start with snap and to get its offense under way were the causes of many unsuccessful plays. At times the offensive strength of the team showed itself, but any consistent offensive work was impossible because of the light and inexperienced line. On defense the ream played a heady, consistent game, and the work of the forwards was worthy of commendation. The season opened with a victory over a scrub team, 7-0, as an encouraging start. Following that, came the game with West II. S. 2nd, which resulted in a 6-0 victory. Although outweighed, as was the case in all our games, a fighting, “never say die’ ’ spirit made itself felt, which more than offset the disparity in weight. A 17-0 victory over Central H. S. 2nd was the first indication of what the team could do. At the hands of West II. S. our team suffered its first defeat, 33-0. We were outweighed man to man twenty pounds and further handicapped by an acute attack of “Buck Fever.” The first quarter suggested a big score and a walk away for West. After the first quarter the game developed into a hard fought contest, and the first half ended with the ball in Blake’s possession after the latter had made a series of brilliant forward passes. Inspired by this ability to penetrate West's defense, the second half was a different story; West scoring but once and on a fluke. On two occasions Blake held the heavy West team on the one yard line; nothing further needs be said regarding the team’s defensive ability. -v rim;bN §i I A ' . s Tf canpiTiiTr The Saturday following the West game, Galahad administered a defeat, 13-7, at Hudson. Blake outplayed Galahad at every stage of the game for the first half, but the strain of the West game of only a few days previous was evident in the second half. Most of the opponent’s gains were made on wide end runs, and the Blake ends seemed unable to solve this method of attack. A 21-0 victory over St. Paul Academy on the following Friday more than revived the somewhat sunken spirits of the team. The season closed with a defeat at the hands of the Shattuck 2nd team, 17-0. “Barney” Clifford, captain, who played a steady game at right half during the first of the season, was changed to a tackle where he played a wonderful, defensive game, strengthening the weak line and speeding up the offense. “ Barney ', when called upon to carry the ball, was always sure of a gain. Frank Jaffray at center, though light played a consistent game throughout the season. Ilis passing was always accurate and his defensive work excellent. Nickels played a good defensive game at tackle. With a little more experience at his position, which was new to him, he should develop into a good tackle. The guard positions were filled alternately by Bronson Lewis, E. Mitchell, Selover, Coffin, and Boutelle, all light and inexperienced men; but with a little experience and more weight they are sure to be heard from. The ends were well taken care of by John Gregg and Puffer, both fast in getting down under punts, sure tacklers and sure in handling the forward pass. W. Jaffray has the requirements for an end but was handicapped by his weight. Mis work in the Shattuck game speaks well for his ability. u ■ ' V -__________________________________________________________________________ “ •i' • “ . -- T- w.v ... «,, — fr • — -l_i. . ; . . ,jl£ FOOT HAM. TEAM (t al IfiptCn Harold Warner and McLane played a fair game at quarter; the former, handicapped by injuries, was out of the game during part of the season. When at quarter he excelled at making interference and at defensive work, using his head fairly well in the selection of plays. McLane, the midget of the team, weighing less than a hundred pounds, is a very heady little player. Playing his first game against West, he showed remarkable defensive work, his tackling of the heavy West backs was a feature of the game, and his head work in running and in keeping the team together deserves much praise. The work of the back fields; Robertson, Moore, and Barnes was on the whole good though they were prevented from doing their best work by weakness in the line. Robertson seemed to have the faculty of finding a hole, and of getting through it, but his lack of weight prevented him from being a consistent ground gainer. On the defense “Sam managed to stop what came his way. Barnes, though a fair defensive back, marred his defensive work by slowing up when going into a tackle. If in the future he overcomes this fault, his speed, spirit, and ability to pass the ball will make him an invaluable member of any team. Moore, a fast man in the open field, was handicapped by the general slowness of the team. ‘‘Joe was always sure of a gain, he excelled in the open field, and played a good defensive game at all times. The substitutes who faithfully worked throughout the season, deserve the greatest praise for their part in the development of the team. They were: Corse, I). Win ton, II. McMillan, W. Jaffray. Next fall Blake School should send forth a team able to compete successfully with any of the high school teams in the city. II. E. Batchelder. M: THE THIRD TEAM iSi Callp r JUNIOR AND INFANT FOOTBALL The Junior foot-ball team, composed of Third and Fourth Form boys, had troubles of its own. In the first place, the first team had the main field and the First Form took up all the room on the miniature field at one end. That left a small strip of ground west of the regular field for the Juniors. All the especially good players of the squad, who were heavy enough, were called upon from time to time to fill out the second team when the time came for a scrimmage. Since the coaching staff of the school was small, there was not enough time for the squad to give them a square chance to show what they could do. Some of the boys were very much inclined to loaf or to fool. At times it was necessary to resort to personal chastisement to make the unruly ones understand that the squad in general meant business. This was administered with much enthusiasm when occasion demanded. When the time came for a real game, most of the squad showed that they had real nerve and a good deal of ability. The competition for position of quarterback was keen all the season. W. Warner seemed to show up better than the other two aspirants at the end of the season. The big game was with the St. Paul Academy team. The score was 32-0 in favor of Blake. The other games played were: Tacoma, won 20-0; Douglas, won 15-5; Lake Harriet, lost 10-5. The backs were: Gillette, Robinson, W. Warner, Webster, Corse, and I). Winton. The linemen: D. Gamble, Gardner, Regan, Bassett, Lewis, Orde, Staples, C, Winton, who was the only one to stick at the end, and L. Walker, who filled in at times. The F'irst Form teams were the Browns and the Whites. Vincent Stabeck was captain of the Browns and David Newton J u 'm flu j. m of the Whites. The small hoys had a field to themselves and kept studiously at the job of learning foot-ball every afternoon. Before the final series came off. both sides had extra coaching by some of the older boys. Edwin Winter was the most enthusiastic aid of the Brown team. The championship games were played on the regular field. This made it harder to score and resulted in three tie games out of four played. The Whites managed to cross the goal line in the third game and so won the series. The swiftest in the First Form were Jones and Day. The hardest workers were: Newton, Carpenter, and Stabeck. The members of the teams are as follows: Whites (champions)- Newton (captain), Jones, Day, .1. Fullerton, Hewitt, Thorpe, Brooks, Hodgman, Pillsbury, Roberts, Hanson, P. Clifford. Browns Stabeck (captain i, Bull, Best, R. Gamble, Velie, Osborne, Ross, Peck, Wells, S. Cook, Carpenter. D. R. Blanpied. J « . fyi fi .Call HOCKEY In a new school the boys have a rare chance to show the right spirit. The institutions started are largely dependent upon the enthusiasm shown at the start. Finding it impracticable to have a rink on the school land, the athletic directors sought the next best thing. Through the kind intercession of Mr. Clifford the Interlaken Club offered their hospitality in the form of their pond. Most of the time there was only enough ice to accomodate one squad of players. The younger boys had to find room on the outside to skate. At first the ice was cleared of snow by a volunteer crew of boys. It was so cold some days that a fire was necessary. J. Mitchell and Wm. Freeman, who acted as fire tenders, would have had a temporary shelter put up if the season had fasted longer. Mr. Bovey sent the Park Board scraper with a crew to put the ice in shape twice during the short season. This gave a few days of fine skating and offered an opportunity to see just what sort of material there was on hand. The turnout was gratifyingly enthusiastic and show'ed there was much talent in an undeveloped state. The boys were willing to learn and took kindly to the game of hockey. Only a few had played a real game before. They followed the good example set them by Bruce Puffer. It was only a few days before it was shown that he had some worthy rivals for honors on the ice. After the passing game and team work were understood, the forwards were able to get off some really good plays. Later developments showed that the defense was in better shape than the scoring machine. The boys who had never had practice in shooting the puck found some difficulty in getting the trick of raising it and in getting speed and direction at the same time. These difficulties did not in the least decrease the enthusiasm of those who had caught the spirit of the m game. They stuck to it faithfully and came out to try some more even on days when it was very cold or when the ice was in poor condition. One day when the conditions at Interlaken Club were not favorable, the squad went in to the Lake Harriet rink to see how it went with real board sides to play against. They helped a great deal. Most of the boys said they learned more in one afternoon there than in a week on our improvised rink. However, it was thought best not to put up a board rink this year since it would have to be moved next year. The only difficulty about practice on the Lake Harriet rink was the inclemency of the weather. Six of the boys found they had one or more frozen toes at the end of practice. One poor unfortunate had three toes on each foot badly bitten. An hour of hard work with snow and kerosene was necessary to bring the benumbed members to life. In some cases the foot became too large for any cover but a German sock and a rubber. Only those who have actually been through the experience can appreciate just how much fun it is to freeze a toe and have it swell to an abnormal size. All the preparation for the hockey resulted in just one game; for the most part because our only chance to begin came just about the time the other schools were playing their last games. After a number of false starts a game was arranged with St. Paul Academy, March 4th. You see President Wilson entered upon his duties the same day Blake School played its first hockey game. The St. Paul Academy boys had been practicing on the Hippodrome rink, so they had the advantage of us. What helped us was that the rink was large and did not demand playing at close quarters. The first half was as good a game as you see among preparatory schools. 1 he Blake boys came within scoring distance several times, but never caged the r=r V 7 m Caiypyg tt puck once. The defense was able to break up the plays of the fast St. Paul forwards so that no score was made by our opponents. Near the close of the first period Puffer had a collision with a St. Paul forward; both had severe tumbles. Puffer struck on the back of his head, receiving a blow so severe that he had to retire from the game, and Warner left also to take him home. From then on it was merely a question of how many St. Paul would make. The second period ended with the score, 4-0 in favor of St. Paul. It was a good clean game and all those who took part will be keen to start the sport next year. The summary of the game appears below: Blake School J. W. Gregg Center B. Clifford R. W. W.

As a sport it is one of the best; as a school sport it is a pastime for those who have the privilege of a tank during the winter. Fortunately there were enough boys in the school possessed of the privilege of using the Minneapolis Club pool to get up a team to meet St. Paul Academy. For a few Saturday mornings trials were held and a team picked out. When it comes to the meet proper, 1 hasten to make up for the lack of enthusiasm shown in the first paragraph and acclaim with the most enthusiastic that, for clean sport and a closely contested match, there has been nothing to equal it this year. From the start first one side was ahead, then the other. Both teams had good men entered in every event except the 160 yard swim. In that St. Paul had not counted on having entries but gamely started just the same. Up to the relay race, the last event, the score stood 24-24. The relay race was exciting to the finish. St. Paul won by a few feet. That gave them the meet 34-24. 'File number of boys and fathers that turned out to witness the meet was a very gratifying evidence of interest. The cheer leaders gathered the boys at one end of the tank and gave some rousing good cheers for all the competitors. I must not fail to mention the stunt that “ Art” Helm and “Jack ’ Lewis put on. Acting their parts in a most creditable manner, they had a “scrap on the end of the spring-board and fell into the water clasping each other closely. It was so natural that almost every one was taken in and was greatly amused. The score by points was as follows: (first place counts 5, and second 3.) Blake 3 40 yard St. Paul 5 4 Under Water 4 3 80 yard 5 3 Diving 5 8 160 yard — 3 Plunge 5 0 Relay 10 D. R. Blanpied. F5S I Call OTHER EXERCISES Those boys who, for good reasons, flimsy reasons, or for no reasons at all, did not play foot-ball, found other forms of exercise. Not a day went by but a troop of hikers went out with Mr. Foss for a more or less strenuous trip of a mile at least. The three courts that the Interlaken Club kindly loaned us were in daily use. Enough interest was aroused in the game of tennis to make it possible to have a tournament. There were many entries, enough to take several days in getting down to the final round. Some of the matches were played on windy days when the balls did all sorts of stunts not included in the rules. Puffer and Winter have not yet finished talking about their match. When the final match came. Nickels and Newell were left. Previous matches had been only one set. This one was played for the best three out of five. It was a close game all the way through. Nickels finally won out and now holds the championship of the school, with Newell as runner-up. Now that we have courts on our own grounds, there will be more interest and more opportunity for this sport, which is taking a place so much more prominent than before in preparatory school athletics. 1). R. Blanpied. SSL — «f TRACK A number of boys, mostly from the lower forms, insisted upon reporting for track. Some of them bought track shoes from the Blake School Store. Then a pit was dug for broad jumping, some high-jump standards were brought out, also an eight and a twelve pound shot. Many of the faithful found really good exercise in running around the foot-ball field outside the ropes. Those who were naturally lazy found out that an hour of this sport would make up for a longer time at foot-ball or tennis. So the squad grew. At the close of the foot-ball season the whole school joined in an informal meet held on the foot-ball field. The most notable feature was the fact that many boys who had shown no special ability up to that time in any line, proved to be good for a short sprint or for a long run. Among these were Donald Kenyon, Paul Bushnell, and George Fullerton. Later on there were two cross-country runs. The larger boys ran about two miles; the younger, about a mile. The intermediate group followed the path taken by the older boys but at times did not succeed in keeping to it. There were enough contestants out so that seven places were given in the first division and ten in each of the others. In all these competitions the points were counted for the Browns and the Whites. In the senior division, the best four were Barnes, Ogden, Moore, and, Selover. In the next class, Fullerton, G. Cook. L. Walker, and Gardner took the first four places in the order mentioned. Among the younger boys, Jones was certainly the winner. His three nearest rivals were Day, J. Fullerton, and P. Laird. In the second cross-country run the enthusiasm had waned to such an extent that only four places were counted. The chief reason was that some boys had gone at the first one so vigorously that they were much exhausted and did not care to experience that “all-in feeling again after so few days to rest. The interest shown in track at a time when we have almost no facilities, gives promise of a favorable development when we do get something satisfactory to work with and time to devote to that particular sport.

J “FORTY YEARS HENCE.” Some forty years had passed since 1 left Minneapolis and the Blake School. Business had taken me to the Pacific Coast and there 1 remained until a few years ago when I decided to return to the scenes of my boyhood via the air. A few hours of whizzing through the air brought me again in sight of the Twin Cities when a sudden desire to catch a glimpse of ‘ good old Blake” seized me and changing my course slightly I approached the city over Hopkins. What a change! Instead of the one building that I had known, four beautiful structures graced the hill. 1 should like to have stayed to roam over the campus, but an overmastering desire to see some of the boys, who I knew were now in Minneapolis, hurried me on. A few minutes more in the air, and I found myself hovering over the city in search of that famous firm of aeroplane manufacturers, Clifford and Gregg. An immense sign with their name soon attracted me and, alighting on their building, I took the elevator down to the main office. An inquiry brought me into the main office of John Gregg, N ice President. John was sitting in his desk chair with his feet on the desk busily engaged in rolling a cigar between his teeth and mum-bling dictation to a bright-eyed stenographer. Of course he was delighted to see me and pulling on his coat he called to President Clifford, who was in the adjoining office. I was glad to see “Barney” but noted that his head was very bald and the drawn expression about his mouth told of many late nights. We all decided to go to the new Aero Lunch, that was but a little way up in the air over our building. So we took our seats in a straw chair and were soon pulled up to the dining room. We secured a table together, and when a waiter approached, to our surprise, we saw before us old red head Joe Moore, who, after such a good education in Blake School, was ending his days as a waiter. But he greeted us with the same old smile and served us a splendid dinner. Before leaving we each gave him the large sum of five cents. r $ 18 (Call As a wonderful magician was performing that night at the theater, we decided to attend and phoned for a box. Senrab, the world known wizard, performed the most startling feats of magic that have ever been seen on a stage. The longer I observed the magician, the more certain I became that 1 has seen him before, and soon I perceived beneath his makeup our old friend, “Phil'’ Barnes. Calling an usher I ascertained this to be a fact and sending in our cards we were ushered to his dressing rooms where we remained very late talking over old times. The next day we all took a ride along Nicollet Avenue. As we approached Ninth Street we saw a great crowd surrounding two men, who seemed to be fighting. The affair was taking place before a shop which showed the sign of the three balls. Of course we stopped to see how the “scrap” came out, and to our amazement we recognized our old friends Puffer and “Crack” Lewis scuffling to see who would get the odd cent on an old stove they had just “hung up. So we spent the day seeing old sights and renewing old acquaintances. Late in the evening, as we were returning, we paused to listen to the songs of a Salvation Army, which was led by no other than our old friend Boutelle, who sang with great vigor. After the service he folded his hands and lifting his eyes, he told an excellent story. After this we stopped in for a moment to see our old friend Herbert Clifford, who is a member of the Bar. We found him standing behind it in his shirt sleeves mixing drinks of splendid quality and flavor. I should have liked to remain longer in Minneapolis, at least over Sunday, to hear my old friend Sprong preach, for he occupies the pulpit of one of the largest churches in the city. But business was pressing and so shortly after I was winging my way onward. 1. II. N. J - ••• '■ ■ • V w• •• - _ A -- . _ rffTx 4' • • i-vt' X A -X i a «• if i-AV ■! -? C . .U TO A TROT There is a little book Which from outward look Is altogether void of information. But when you get inside Then with ease you “ride,” No matter how hard is your translation. Some kids call it “Pony,” The teachers claim its phony, But it surely helps in daily recitation. Some use it all the time. But it has its bitter rind When it comes to tests or an examination. H. R. S. A NEW VERSION Mary had a little lamb. Its tail was brown and white; And every time it spanked itself Its tail went out of sight.

N. j W « � v' 7 ] II I £ r THK HLAKi: SCHOOL DANCE Shortly before the Christmas holidays, at a meeting of the Sixth and Seventh Forms, it was decided to give the first Blake School dance. A committee of four from these two forms was appointed to take care of the arrangements. After considering the matter, it was decided to hold the dance the first Friday of the Winter term. On the evening of January twenty-fifth, about twenty-five fellows from the upper three forms assembled with their partners in the dining room. All the tables had been removed, and the hall was decorated with the banners of the various large preparatory schools and colleges all over the country. The music was furnished by an orchestra of three pieces from the city. The dancing began about nine and continued until eleven-thirty. When the dance was over, those attending went home on a special car provided for the occasion. It seemed to be the universal opinion that the first dance was a great success, much to the gratification of the whole committee. F. W. Boutelle. j v? 68h. ■ d v ™ k- I viV IHi ■ ! c m n J. J FOUNDER’S DAY EXERCISES Wednesday, Oct. 30th was the date selected for the dedication of the new Blake School. Finer weather or more auspicious circumstances could not have attended this celebration. Towards the middle of the afternoon, after the friends and patrons of the school had arrived in large numbers, the athletic event of the day, a foot-ball game with West High School, took place. Immediately after this an informal reception was held in the gymnasium by the Head Master and the Board of Trustees. The dedication exercises, which were held in the chapel, were opened by Mr. C. C. Bovey, President of the Board of Trustees, who addressed words of hearty welcome to the assembled guests. Blake School was especially fortunate in having I)r. S. J. McPherson, Head Master of Lawrenceville School, to make an address. He spoke on “The Work of Preparatory Schools.” Mr. C. 1). Allen, Head Master of Nichols School, a typical country day school, spoke to us about the work of that particular kind of school. Mr. C. B. Newton, our Head Master, then addressed the audience on “The Blake Program. Nor did the events of this occasion end here. Although many of the guests departed just after dark, they were lighted down the hill by a tremendous bon-fire, which illuminated the whole campus. In the evening a banquet was held to which the “Fathers” were invited. A splendid fire glowed in the great fireplace in the dining hall; and, after the dinner had been served, the guests drew their chairs about the fire and listened to speeches by various members of their number, as they were called by Mr. Franklin Crosby, who acted as toast-master. President Vincent of the University of Minnesota, who was the guest of honor, engaged the earnest attention of his hearers while he spoke most encouraging words to the new Blake School. Before the close of the evening the patrons of the school had had abundant opportunity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the faculty and the Board of Trustees. : t--ZSi i rm,. IM== DEBATING Although most of the upper form boys have been enthusiastically engaged in contests of strength and skill on the field or in the gymnasium, they have also had the opportunity of matching wits in debate on the chapel rostrum. Not only has this exercise in public speaking been a valuable part of these boys’ training in English, but it has furnished much information on miscellaneous topics, as well as frequent amusement, to the enthusiastic audience. No speaker has ever risen to address his school mates without being accorded an enthusiastic ovation nor has he ever been permitted to conclude without a resounding appreciation. The debaters have not had to contend with an unresponsive audience; every witticism , even though feeble, was feelingly received, and humor was often discerned where none was intended. These literary exercises have not been confined to debates. Most of the older boys have expressed in public their opinions, developed at short notice, on assigned topics. These topics have ranged in interest from matters of federal policy to affairs of Blake School policy. Had the powers that be the privilege of hearing the arguments and opinions advanced upon our chapel platform, canals and bridges would now be built, the size of navies and armies shrunk or expanded, and the matter of taxes and tariff definitely settled. Nor have all of our forensic activities been conducted in public. The First, Second, and Third Forms have paused in their pursuit of grammer and composition occasionally to debate such subjects as: Resolved: That winter sports are . Call rT y 7 more enjoyable than summer sports, that submarines are more destructive in war than aeroplanes, and that moving picture shows should be abolished. The crow ning event of our debating season was the debate with St. Paul Academy, which took place March 20th in St. Paul. The question was, Resolved: That the State of Minnesota should adopt the income tax law now impending in the state legislature. Blake School supported the affirmative. A competition for places on our team had been held some time before the event. Out of a large number of competitors, Phillip Barnes, Kdwin Winter, and Howard Me Millan were selected to represent the school in this contest. Loring Staples was alternate. The judges were: Edmund S. Durment, Esq., Joseph R. Kingman, Esq., and Prof. C. A. Savage. In spite of the efforts of the Blake school team, the decision was awarded by the judges to the St. Paul team. C- • ’ ‘ N ' K « % . «£?

It is a harmony of long, straight lines and beautiful areas, a deft comporition in wood and steel and brnss that makes the beholder feel that these hard elements must have been plastic when the modelling was done. Through this beauty is seen the majesty of the perfect machine—not the obtrusion of mechanical details—but the Intent power, the fitness of parts, the flexibility like that of a living animal, all wrought into refractory materials and controlled by the light pressure of a finger.
