At no time has he hesitated to give frank and helpful advice in class affairs, and his judgment has been wise and sincere. He has been eager to help the Seniors not only collectively but also individually, in both school matters and outside affairs. He is a master who is regarded by the boys as one who understands and can solve their individual problems. The fact that members of former Senior classes, which have had the good fortune to have him as advisor, have continued to respect and esteem him, certainly makes it clear that he has been no small factor in helping boys in their school activities. We are deeply indebted to him for his attempts at helping our class in every way possible. Page Twenty-two HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’30 The history of the Class of 1930 began eleven years ago with the entrance of Fred Nash and Walter Walker into the first grade at Junior Blake in the fall of 1919, and now as we have completed these eleven years of mingled triumphs and defeats, it is fitting that we as a group review our activities, during our association with the school. Our early years in the Junior School were as the general rule, happy, yet uneventful as we eagerly anticipated the day when we should have gained sufficient years and knowledge to enter the Senior School. That eventful day finally arrived and with happy, yet meek countenances we took our places at the foot of the ladder to begin the long climb. During our lower school years, that spirit which had characterized our class during our association with the school, began to manifest itself. It was an aggressive spirit, yet one of unity in which we acted not as individuals, but as a unit. It helped us triumph over St. Paul Academy in many athletic events, and it helped us to gain our footing in school life. So with our entrance into the upper, we were well fitted to take up our duties in that modest capacity which is the lot of all freshman classes. In the fall Fred Chute began his long and brilliant career on the football field by earning his letter on the Varsity team, and in company with Walter Walker, represented the class in hockey. Doug Robinson was successful in baseball while two of our members, Fred Nash and Frank Plant, aided Publications Board as assistants. This was our first year to have a member on the Council, and Plant ably filled this important position. We again displayed interest in dramatics by taking over half the parts in the various casts. Though several were working for positions on the Publications Board, only one was made a regular member. Gamble was our sole representative in debating. Despite our interest in outside activities, our scholarship was always above average, with the result that a fine college board record was made in the Spring. As the Juniors of twenty-nine, we took active part in every field of the school’s endeavor as we worked to prepare ourselves for the leadership which we would fall heirs to as seniors. Schermerhorn, Chute, Rizer, Walker and McCabe started off in the fall by making the football team. Positions were held by Chute, Plant, Rizer and Robinson on the Publications Board. Dramatics was given strong support along with debating, which occupied the efforts of Plant, Gamble, Alder, Olson and Peet. During the winter Rizer, Morriss, Mills and Plant helped to turn out a very successful swimming Page Tventy-three fHw., LCJ J? _ BAlSfe team while the hockey team was assisted by Chute, Robinson, Walker, Scher-merhorn and Snyder. Chute and Snyder also played baseball. Our scholarship, though not brilliant, was quite steady and dependable. It was a fairly decent record as Juniors, and when Fred Chute, elected head of the school for our senior year, gave his reply to the graduating class at commencement, we sincerely hoped that we might be worthy leaders of the school during our last year as a class at Blake. Returning in our new capacity last fall, we took up our duties with a will. Schermerhorn and Walker served on the Council with Chute, and Booraem, Knoblauch, Nash and Wales were elected to the Union. Walker and Wales served as presidents for the first and second terms respectively. Dean Rizer, editor; Hendrik Booraem, associate editor; Fred Chute, business manager; Martin Wales, school editor; Schermerhorn and Peet, assistants; together with other members of the Board, have been giving the school a very fine publication this year in the Torch, and as they also edit the Call o’ Pan we are looking forward to a very successful annual. Throughout the year our high standard of athletics has been maintained. Fred Chute led a strong football team in the fall. With him as seniors on the team were Schermerhorn, Rizer, Snyder, Alder, Nash, Walker and Wales, manager. Four seniors were regulars on the hockey team, Chute, Snyder, Schermerhorn and Captain Walker led the team through a very successful season. Led by Captain Rizer, Mills, Morriss, Nash and Olson, manager, were the representatives in swimming. Captain Snyder piloting the baseball team from first base with Chute in the outfield, are upholding our end on the baseball diamond. As a reward for his long years of service on the tennis team, Schermerhorn was elected captain of this year’s netmen, the team of which Knoblauch is the other senior member promises to turn in many victories for the school this year. The high standard of dramatics was again maintained this year, seven of our number taking parts. The efficient manner in which the business and property managers worked under Schermerhorn made the plays the greatest financial success in the history of the school. Our representative on the winning debating team this year was Charles Gamble, who did a good piece of work as alternate. Rizer, who early as the Fifth Form, proved his ability as an orator by winning the Fifth Form Declamation contest, again proved himself this year by winning the Williams Theme contest and the Thorpe Cup contest. This, then, is the history of the class of 1930. We submit it, not with an air of braggers, but in the hopes that you may see just what we have done and what we have been doing during our association with Blake.

I. T. “What better than to work and keep from sin ” “Hardworking John has proved his mettle by consistent, slow, but sure work. He has taken a prolonged beating on the second team in football for three years, but has won a well-deserved letter on the first team in his fourth and senior year at Blake. John has made many unsuccessful attempts to twist his right leg around his left ear and write a theme with his nose on the desk; his failure in the latter is no doubt largely due to lack of practice. In all probability he will develop this extraordinary method of study by steady perseverance in college. His rakish figure and distinguishing walk should prove of value to him at M. I. T. where he will delve into minerals and attempt to learn a bit about technique. The keeper of the store, succeeding the well known Tadpole, has not yet learned to pick out forgeries and thefts, but he says that the losses will be made up in the end by the increase in the sale of athletic supporters and arm bands. The dramatic ability of this strapping, six-foot rascal has revealed itself in several presentations. His characterization of the father in “Station YYYY” was a good bit of acting. As the head-waiter of the lower school lunch period he has astonished the small boys with his skill and daring in transporting large stacks of dishes safely through the swinging doors. The hard-boiled waiters themselves were even moved when he lopped off the top of his finger while driving the breadcutter. M. I. T. will greet such an engineer with open arms.

Entered Blake 1926 Hen“Bud” “Keed” Princeton “Only an author knows an author s cares ” During his four-year sojourn at the school on the hill, “Hen” has discovered no small number of pleasant diversions calculated to break the monotony of the daily grind. Not least among these is the interesting process of engaging the R. R. Doctor in deep, and to most of us rather obscure theological discussions. Many a time, his dark, deep-set eyes glittering craftily, and yet rather amusedly, has this master of sophistry woven a strong and tangled web, only to sec, on the eve of victory, his resourceful prey shatter those seemingly hopeless entanglements by a simple twist of the wrist—a jingle of the after-luncheon bell. But aside from these momentary disappointments, there can be no doubt, that taking it all in all, the “Keed” has led a happy and carefree existence at the Alma Mater. Year after year, the Northrop Damsels have thrilled to his histrionic efforts, now as Father Daly, the prison chaplain, and now as the dashing Captain Ashby of the India Army. As a poet (Jiffy Jingler) and as a writer, “Hen” has shown great possibilities, and the extent of his vocabulary has on several occasions momentarily paralyzed the English class. He is leaving for the East some time next fall, and who knows but that the ivied walls may at times echo with astonished Tiger roars wafted gently back on the fresh New Jersey breeze.

With this background he soon became one of the leaders of the class, and has held this august position, off and on, ever since. From the earliest years Chutie’s ability as an athlete has been marked. He is one of the few men to have earned four letters in football, and because of his talent, this year found him captain. Besides this, he has starred for several years on both the hockey and baseball teams. Outside of athletics, Fritz’s activities have been many and varied. He has been our representative on the Student Council, and he headed that organization this year. During his four years in the Dramatic Association he has taken leading parts. As Business Manager of the Call O’ Pan Fred will long be remembered making the frantic appeals for ads, which finally tore down the sales resistance of the student body. From all this one would be led to believe that our Head Boy was quite serious minded. On the contrary, as soon as he enters the Senior Room he lays aside the cloak intended to inspire awe in the members of the lower school, and again becomes one of us. To test his strength he incurs the wrath of a bridge foursome, and they try vainly to put him out. Next year Fritz intends to join the former Blake Head Boys at Dartmouth, and it is our firm belief he will be able to follow in their footsteps.

Entered Blake 1918 “Charlie.“Peed” M. I. T. “What peace a quiet life affords” 'Way beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant, “Peed” has been plodding steadily along behind his tortoiseshell spectades. Step by step, he has traversed the tortuous path laid out for those who aspire to the higher realms of science—algebra, plain and solid, trig, chemistry (incidentally, in the last mentioned course, Charles is credited with having proved by a personally conducted experiment that sulphuric acid will remove the epidermis), yes, and even physics have all fallen before his inexorable invasion. It is indeed edifying for the man in the street to see Charles Brintzinghoffer, Jr., settle down to a forty-minute application of that recondite art—concentration, but of late it has saddened many a member of the Senior class to note a certain tendency to frivolity, as evinced by Alderian back slaps, etc., cropping out in this once staid young man. For years on end Charles has been a prominent member of the Dramatic association, being equally at home in the role of a detective, or in that of an eminent scientist, and as a debater, his rebuttals have been the despair of many a rival team. It is rumored that Charles and his brother scientist intend to bum their way to Boston Tech. Luck to you, gentlemen!

Here is another who realized that Blake could help the growing boy more than the Public School System could. Fran came to us from that famous Kenwood district where he first picked up his meagre knowledge of this old world of ours. Since Fran enrolled at the workhouse on the hill he has gained a considerable amount of the facts and falsities of life. One thing, namely, he has so developed his mind that he can pick up a hand of bridge and play it with a degree of accuracy second only to Olson. Occasionally he gets inspired by the low blue notes of “Moanin’ Low” issuing from the Victrola, and gives the boys a treat by involving himself in the serpentine writhings of an eccentric clog dancer. An odd trait of Knobby’s is that he lets his hair grow in winter and forgets to have it cut when spring comes around. But, all in all, and in spite of his peculiarities, he has given us a sense of retiring dignity when the time and place require the same. He has never been outstanding in athletics, but he can shade a good many of us when it comes to the concentration of an intellectual pursuit in a room resounding with the yells and bids of his fellows. But seriously, Blake can boast of no other who has quite so much true school spirit and backs his Alma Mater with such loyal enthusiasm as he. Success at Princeton is practically assured. Page Twenty-ninr Swimming Team, ’29, ’30 Baseball Squad, ’29, ’30 Choir, ’30 ROGER LEE MILLS Entered Blake 1928 “Roge,” “Whang Cornell “How we apples swim.“ Three years ago the swimming team proved the efficacy of its existence as an advertising medium. When the boys went down to Rochester a little youngster on the opposing team was so impressed by the imposing exhibition which our tankmen put on, that the next year ne showed his smiling countenance on the Blake campus. Of his earlier years little is known, but we surmise that he has been some sort of heathen in his better days, and he assures us that certain gutteral sounds he utters are Chinese though they are rendered in much the same way as “pig Latin.” His two years as a boarder have given him undisputed seniority in the “dorms” and undeniable championship in numerous events at the house. For instance, he can dress faster, and eat more than all the roomers Blake has ever had. Besides these trifling accomplishments stands his monumental record in swimming. Last year he broke the school record m the two-twenty, only to be beaten out later on by a slight margin. However, Roge can still vindicate himself for he intends to stay with us another year before he treads the college course.

I. T. And I cry for madder music and stronger wine than this.” Ham, Jr., wandered blithely into our midst in 1924. Some time along about 1925 our Herbie became possessed with the idea of becoming an engineer. With true Morriss stubborness he has clung to this ideal through the adversities of Blake’s curricular activities. Confronted with the task of taking two sciences, four years of mathematics, and two of German, our hero “crashed through,” to use the vernacular. Along the scientific line Herb was a charter member of the Science Club. Excepting numerous lapses into the luminous mist which Morpheus lays down around Herb’s English seat, he has been a scholar. He has the only unsoiled debating record ever produced in Blake. He has yet to be argued into abandoning his convictions. Way back in 1927 Herb started his swimming career as one of the well known and justly famous “Water Babies.’’ The backstroke became his favorite stroke, but this year he played no small part in bringing Blake the state relay victory. His other interests lie chiefly among the ladies, and the co-educational programme at M. I. T. probably was a big factor concerning his choice of that school. Wishing him all sorts of good luck we commit him to that institution.

Fred, counting out his little trips to California, New York, and the larger cities of Europe, has been attending school quite regularly since the now dim and hazy junior school days. In the lower forms he showed his ability as a scholar, but with the broader vision of a freshman he sought bigger and better things. His success as drummer in the orchestra was immediate, and his deep bass voice became a mainstay in the choir. For three years Fred was the backbone of the second football team, enduring the hard knocks delivered by the more fortunate first stringers. His efforts were finally crowned by the award of the big “B” in his senior year. Following the tradition set by his older brothers, Edgar and Bill, Fred tried out for the swimming team. Although handicapped by illness he made a good showing in the hundred. We must not forget to make mention of his abilitv as a business executive. His management of the funds from the gumball machine was a distinct loss to the silent partners, and we can only guess where the profits went. After he has followed brother Edgar through Williams, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be a decided factor in raising the standard of Nash’s coffee.

O” “Raym” Princeton “He French and I atin speaks with greater ease Than hogs eat acorns or tame pigeons peas. The hand is quicker than the eye—with which slogan Raym is about to adjourn to bigger and better bridge games. Rather a relief for some of the oncoming cardplayers, that is, for those who are familiar with his habit or, may we say idiosyncrasy, of unshuffling a deck of cards and dealing from the bottom. Raym wandered into our midst back in 1922 and by virtue of an innate ability to acquire the Parisian to the satisfaction of our esteemed disciple of the “Quartier” has arrived at the holy of holies. He has been quite active in the advancement of the French Gub, especially in advocating that we include “les pcrsonnes du sexe” in our final seance. No account of Ray’s career would be quite complete without some mention of the stellar roles of female impersonator that he has taken in our dramatic presentations. In his final year, he has at last tossed aside the flaxen wig along with the petticoats and spike heels, and has taken a more mature part, that of a French janitor. By some method, unrecognizable in our mathematics department, Ray has juggled the swimming accounts in such a fashion that we have come out financially ahead for the first time in many moons. And so we commend him to the rulers of men and their destinies at Princeton and turn the page.

P” Amherst “One may smile and smile and be a villain. ' In his day, Bill attended the Junior School for awhile. But fate destined Bill to be a traveler; so one fine day when he was down in the mouth and this world of cares and troubles had vexed him as he thought, long enough, he packed his valise and headed South—and got there. Some years later he returned to us, the same boy. But when he came home he was old enough to get bad ideas in his head. He took to the filthy weed and was known to drive his “Hupp’ at a horrible rate of speed down Excelsior Boulevard. Bill acquired some of his traits at the waiters’ table; here everyone is on a par and all tell what stories they care to, knowing it is “between the boys.’’ The result is most enlightening to almost anyone. Bill has been prominent in dramatics and this season he climaxed his career on the stage (perhaps) by taking the part of “Professor Cleever,” a wolf in a sheep’s clothing. Bill was a factor on the second football team time and again. When the first team would charge, Bill would be found at the bottom of the heap, violently clasping the hairy leg of a hopeful halfback. A few years ago Bill had prowess in tennis but he has given that up in aspiring to land a berth on the baseball team. He has recently shown to all his scholastic ability by attaining second honors. We heartily wish Bill all kinds of good luck when he probes for deeper knowledge at Amherst.

Those years from the time he came to the country until he attained the rank of Sixth former were spent in making the faculty miserable. The success with which this campaign met was and still is notorious. With the departure of two of our classmates who were seeking greater things, etc.. Dean reformed and assumed the saintly aspect which he now wears as President of the Senior Class. But even now he has his outbursts. When Ed Brown strolls gaily into the Senior Room, and emerges a second later, doleful and woebegone, it signifies only one thing. Dean has had a bad moment. Chairs are undoubtedly smashed, some unfortunate modestly draped with a rug, is seated in a corner, and cards are flung far and wide. Aside from these mad moments, however, he is angelic. His record as an athlete is excellent. He plays a hard game of football and swims like a fool. His ability in this last sport made him this year’s captain. Among other things he’s quite a fancy editor. Cast your eyes on this book and see for yourself. Yes. he is going to Princeton.

Princeton Last year Ed decided to prolong his stay at Blake for several reasons, the greatest of which was his desire to graduate with the class of 1930. He started his Hill-top career in the valley. That is to say he was among those who attended Sleepy Hollow, commonly known as the Junior School. A year or two of this gave him acute sleeping-sickness and he left Blake to be herded to and fro in one of our public institutions. But independent as he was he could not undergo this for long, and soon returned to the fold. In the Lower School he shone as an athlete and surpassed his record for prowess when he reached man’s estate—the Upper School. As a football player he is so many pounds of iron cannon ball hurtling through the air to land gracefully on his neck. In his hockey and tennis abilities he is mighty, having captained both these teams last year. His extra-curricular activities have been varied: he has been council member, held positions of responsibility on dance committees, and is Blake’s most famous gumball vender, business promoter, and “Bookie.” Princeton needs a versatile man like this.

When the rest of the class became addicted to the dread drug, nicotine, in their early teens, he carefully abstained and built himself up into a “big strong man” as he has been endearingly termed by certain “friends” of his. The result of this Spartan-like training was. however, most beneficial to the school teams, for John has captured his three letters regularly for several years. His ability to get in the way was indispensable to the hockey team on which he played spectacular goal-guard. He has crowned his baseball career as captain of this year’s aggregation. The Union, Choir, A. A. Board, cards, and many similar activities have claimed much of his time—too much, we have heard some say; for these distractions, they proclaim, have made John a faithless husband. But it is never too late for the worm to turn—or whatever the saying is. John is staying here with us for another year. There is ample time ahead for college!

Mard, due to the systematic turn of mind with which he is endowed, has built himself up through the years from a small, rather retiring little thing to one of the stalwarts of the school. Every morning, he confidentially tells us, he does the “push-ups,” “back bends,” “double twists,” and “Virginia Reels,” seven hundred times. This accounts for his success, so he says. While developing physically, he has unfolded some queer mental twists. Ungodly puns have been the results of this strange metamorphosis. On the field Mard has displayed baseball talent and managerial efficiency. His winters he has spent dreaming of fair brown-skinned maids and blue waters. He has several artistic accomplishments to his credit. Musically he is a member of the choir and the far-famed Blake orchestra where he strums his banjo. His peculiar harmonies on the guitar have never been enjoyed by the school. His possibilities as an author cannot be under-rated. Yet his chief pursuit in life is to have warmth and “the heat of the glowing sun.” As a first step he is heading for a college in California.

So far he holds the non-stop prize for versatility in athletics, but there are many more of the Walker contributions to Blake that will soon come along. Walt also holds another dear record for Blake; he has the record for having thoroughly beaten up and frightened more of his fellow students than anyone. Here we must add that this was in his more tender years (if he had any). Whenever he has emerged from the admirable spell that stamps, guns, cigar bands, and tobacco chewing hold over him, he has indeed amazed the facultv and students by his brilliance. The rumor is that Walt has great influence with the cops, especially the one in Hopkins. When asked, “why the sudden burst of speed,” after being stopped for burning up the road a little too much, the explanation of “oh, I'm just going out t’ the lake” is said to be sufficient. Our Hockey Captain should acquit himself in fine style when he arrives at the longed-for destination of Princeton, where, away from the distractions of the big city and the great outdoors at Minnetonka, he should do great things.

McLane President Donald J. Wells Vice-President John A. Bovey, Jr. Secretary and Treasurer SIXTH FORM The class of 1931 was sorry to lose at the beginning of the year James McNally and John Dalrymple, and later Thomas Cooper and Richard Trauernicht. However, we were fortunate in having Lamar Haliowell and Hilton Bailey enter our form. At the first class meeting of the year we elected the following officers: John McLane, president; Donald Wells, vice-president; and John Bovey, secretary and treasurer. We chose Mr. Foss as our class advisor. Although the Juniors have not had a very large number of representatives on the honor roll, nevertheless they have maintained a high scholastic standard throughout the year. Moreover, they have been prominent in every school activity. In athletics the class has done very well. A large number went out for football, and MacFarlane, McLane, and Russell won their major letters in this sport. We are proud to say that as a reward for his hard work and fine playing Dudley Russell was practically the unanimous choice for next year’s captain. In swimming, Atkinson, Robertson, and Russell won letters. As a reward for his outstanding ability in this sport, Alvin Robertson was elected captain for next season. In hockey the lettermen from the Junior class were Bailey, FitzGerald, and Wells. The baseball letters have not yet been awarded, but the following have positions on the squad: Arthur, FitzGerald, Atwood, McLane, Wells, and Williams, who is manager. Many of the class are playing tennis, prominent among whom are Atkinson, Bailey, and MacFarlane. Other members of the class are conspicuous in making spring football a success. The Juniors have been active not only in athletics, but also in other phases of school life. Bovey, Hallowell, McLane, Steiner, Russell, and Wells are members of the Union, and during the year Bovey, McLane, Russell, and Steiner have held positions as officers. On the Publications Board we are represented by Atkinson, Bovey, Russell, Steiner, and Williams. In dramatics Bailey, Bovey, Hallowell, McLane, Russell, Steiner, and Williams did their part in making this year’s presentation one of the finest Blake has ever given. In debating Booraem, Bovey, and Russell did a great deal to win the debate with S. P. A. for the first time in six years, and Hallowell did work in the Williams Theme Contest that was a great credit to the Juniors. The members of the Sixth Form in the choir were Hallowell, the leader, and FitzGerald, both of whom were also members of the orchestra. During the year we have been ably represented on the Council by Atwood and McLane, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their services to us. In closing this summary of the activities of the Junior Class, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Foss, our class advisor, for his helpful advice and deep interest in the work of the class. We feel that much of our success during the year has been due to him. Page Forty-three Page Forty-four THE FIFTH FORM At the beginning of the year we found ourselves minus Web Brace, Jim Cooke, Kingsley Dyer, John Hewitt, and Albert Kenyon. These we were very sorry to lose, but we welcome two new members from out of town, “Doc” Bradley of Duluth and Joe Weissenbach of Chicago. The class of ’32 was well represented in athletics this year. In football the Fifth Form had by far the most trying out for the team. Bradley, Bull, Lauritzcn, Heskitt, Schilling, and Wright won their letters. Bob Howard unfortunately was injured and was out of both football and hockey. The second and third teams consisted of many of those who could not make the first squad. The Fifth Form challenged the Seniors to a football game late in the season but the weather prohibited it. Wright, Savage, and Lauritzen made the hockey team. Again the second team was made up of many Fifth Formers. In swimming, Schilling was a diver. Don Dayton tried but sickness, which has kept him out of school for a long time, spoiled his chances. As baseball comes around we find Bradley, Bull, Duffy, Lauritzen, Benson, Woodrich, Howard, Wright, and Salter out for the team. Palm should make a good assistant manager. Savage is a likely choice for the tennis team. We were well represented on the victorious debating team by Tom McCann. Arnold won the Fifth Form Declamation Contest. All the contestants did very well. Arnold, Benson, Bradley, Bull, Crosby, Harris, Howard, McCann, Palm, Salter, Schilling, Van Dusen, and Weissenbach took part in the Blake plays. They too did very well. This year we did not do so well in the classroom. Arnold was the only consistent member on the honor roll from our class. This was the worst side of the class of ’32, but we hope that next year we may increase this number. The class officers were Hunt, president; Howard, vice-president; and Savage, secretary and treasurer. Howard represented our class in the Council. In conclusion we would like to say that we are very much indebted to Mr. Horne, our class advisor. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude for his help and advice during the year. John W.

Snyder, T. Hayden Brown, W. Sperzel Wright Waters Newhall Hill Hollem Lavake Page Forty-six THE FOURTH FORM Our class has been doing very well as far as scholastic attainment goes. Melone, Waters, Bellows, and Newhall have been on the honor roll a great part of the time. The class average has been one of the highest in the school for a number of years and it is still among those at the very top. The success in football of the “A” and “B” coefficient teams was due largely to the efforts of our classmates, Norris Lang and Tom Snyder playing in the backfield of the “A” team, and the Brown twins and Howard Rosen-berry on the line. On the “B” team Neil Melone and Norman Newhall made important positions. In the two games with the S. P. A. “A” team won both by the scores of 21-0 and 32-12 and “B” team tied one 0-0 and lost the other 8-0. The splendid captaincy of Lang and Newhall was a great help to both teams. There was a large turnout for hockey and although many of our class are good players, none of them made the first squad. The Brown twins, Bellows, Hoilern, Lang, and Atkinson are good enough to get on the squad next year. This spring the “A” team seems to be going to establish as fine a record as it did in football. Bellows is trying for pitcher, Bagley for catcher, Snyder for third base and Waters, Brooks, and Jim Savage for the field. On the “B” team Melone and Newhall hold the positions of first and second base respectively. Melone is captain. Hoilern, Atkinson, and John Savage are trying out for the first team. At the beginning of this year we were very happy to welcome to our class the Savage brothers, Howard Rosenberry, and Abbott Washburn. The Savage brothers come from Duluth and Rosenberry from Idaho. Cooke dropped back into our class and Andrus is with us after his absence from the school. We were very sorry to lose Malcolmson and Meech. Malcolmson is going to University High and Meech to Shattuck. The class officers were Hill, president; Hoilern, vice-president; and Newhall, secretary and treasurer. Melone was our member in the Council and Bellows was a member of both the debating team and of the Dramatic Association. We are very grateful for the assistance of our class advisor for the second time, Mr. Slater. He has helped us out of our difficulties and has made our hard problems easy. A. J. Hill President Page Forty-seven Page Forty-eight THE THIRD FORM At the beginning of the school year, all of our last year’s class returned except M. Falk and Harry Elsberg. However, three new boys joined us in the winter term. They were Ringer, Woodhull and Lindsay. The Third Form was well represented in football with W. Wells, Joe Clifford, and Warren Wood-rich on the “A” team. Harrison, Cullen, Edmonds, and Vaughan made the “B” team. During the winter the “A and “B” divisions held a tournament in hockey with the “B team winning. A team composed of 1 bird Formers met the Fourth Form in another hockey game which ended in a 0-0 tie. Two of our classmen, Fletcher and Lowe, made the first Blake swimming team. Fletcher winning his letter. Most of the class is now trying out for either baseball or tennis. Our class was represented in the choir by Leslie, Vaughan, and Clifford. Instead of the “Brown and White'’ which was the Lower School’s paper last year, a new arrangement was gotten up. With the kind assistance of Mr. Coulter a special Lower School board was made, which contributed articles to the Torch. The Third Form members on this board were Chelgren, Clifford, and Winston. Some fine parties were given by Third Formers which were appreciated by the whole class. Toward the end of the year a big discussion was aroused on the subject of class pins. Some boys wanted them and some did not. It was finally decided that those who wished to get them could buy them from their own money and not from the class treasury. Mr. Hodkinson was a great help to us, all through the year, solving most of our problems for us and we wish to express our heartiest gratitude to him. The class officers were as follows: John Winston, president; Warren Woodrich, vice-president; Bill Wells, secretary and treasurer; and Mr. Hodkinson, class advisor. John Winston President THE SECOND FORM The year has shown the class of 1935 to be a very representative one. We found amongst us as new boys, Alan Anderson, Lindsay, Thomas Crocker, Robert Mirick, John Swanson, and Carroll Wells. As to scholarship, Seymour Heymann is unquestionably in the lead, having held first place consistently. There have always been three Second Formers on the first honor roll, and several who took second honors. Page Fifty L fe.PLEASE Our class showed great interest in football; in fact most of the “B” coefficient team were our men. In our first game we were defeated by S. P. A., but in the last we tied them. We had three lettermen on the “C” team; Carroll Wells, Harry Piper, and John Hammerel. Six of us made the “B” squad: Stephen Cameron, John Dobson, Richard Groff, Rowley Miller, Thomas Wright, and Robert Meech. We had one member of the “A” squad, Alan Anderson. We had a splendid hockey team, the star of that game being Rowley Miller. Baseball being a popular sport, has developed much competition for places on the team. The outfielders, as well as the third baseman are all Second Formers. It is confidently believed that we will have a victorious team. As members of the choir, we have Philip Walker, Stephen Cameron, John Connell, and Thomas Crocker. Charles Pillsbury spent the winter term in Florida. The class officers are Robert Meech, president; John Atwood, vice-president; Rowley Miller, secretary and treasurer. We wish to express our wholehearted appreciation to Mr. Geiser for his voluntary help as our advisor. Robert Meech President THE FIRST FORM The First Form at the beginning of the year had an enrollment of thirty-five boys. Of these, nineteen came from Junior Blake. Charles Harris moved to Florida, leaving us a class of thirty-four. Then Walter Woodworth and Stanley Lyman dropped back to Junior Blake because of illness and Bill Driscoll came from the Second Form. Bovey, Fahr and Heskett have been leading our class in scholarship, closely followed by Luther and West. In sports the First Form has a fine record. Baker, Warner, West, Dobson, Douglas, Luther, Heskett and a few others made the “C” football team. We beat S. P. A. in both games with a score of some thirty odd to nothing in the first game and a score in the forties in the second, although we had a higher score in the second game, S. P. A. scored a touchdown on the kickoff. Hockey went well and baseball has a wonderful start. The class officers are Hamilton Luther, president; Stuart Rider, vice-president; and Richard Dobson, secretary and treasurer. We are all very thankful to Mr. Coulter for the encouragement he has given us as our class advisor. Hamilton Luther President Page Fifty-one Page Fifty-two ALUMNI ALUMNI MEETING The annual meeting of the Blake School Alumni Association was held at the country school on May 21, 1930. In the afternoon a baseball game and tennis match was held with Shat-tuck; it being a very fine day, the attendance at both attractions was quite large. At 6:30 dinner was served to the Association in the school dining room and about forty-four alumni and masters were present. Among those attending were the following: Fred W. Boutell R. P. Gale T. S. Brackett Melville A. R. Krogness Bradshaw Mintener James R. Thorpe John T. Baxter Robert L. Nash Paul F. Clifford Charles B. Carroll A. M. Howard J. N. Winton G. Kendall Smith C. G.

S. Thorpe, Jr. Carson Jamieson R. T. Schermerhorn Wm. W. Sudduth S. J. Owen Dave Winton Rog Coffin C. J. Winton, Jr. L. B. Lawrence After dinner the association was formally called to order by the vice-president, Mr. Fred Clifford, Jr., in the absence of President Vincent McLane. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved and a nominating committee was appointed to select candidates for officers for the coming year. The candidates selected by this Committee were Fred Clifford, Jr., President; Dave Winton, Vice President; A. C. Regan, Secretary and Treasurer. It was moved and seconded and unanimously carried that these candidates should be elected for the ensuing year. The meeting then adjourned to the library. Mr. C. W. Haddon, a former Master, was present at the dinner and gave a very interesting account of some of his experiences while at the school. Barney Clifford spoke briefly as joint representative of the Trustees and Alumni. Fred Boutell was on hand with a supply of new and old stories. There was a general discussion of the advisability of establishing an Alumni Scholarship and it was finally agreed to appoint a committee for this purpose. The committee is to include the following: Mr. Horne and Mr. Foss, representing the faculty, and Dick Gale, Barney Clifford and Dave Winton representing the alumni. On motion the meeting adjourned. A. C. Regan Secretary Page Fifty-five Haifa 6TMl Some Gwibmut on fiof V 'dw SOCIETY CHRISTMAS DANCE, 1929 That old institution, the Blake Christmas dance, was held this year on Friday evening, December the twentieth. As dances go, it was not unusual in its success. But it was a good party and well worth attending. Everybody had a fine time. The plans for a record crowd were snowed under by the big blizzard which delayed the trains in Chicago the day before. In spite of these difficulties an unusual number of alumni showed up and what is perhaps equally as important mcst of the young ladies, without whom the affair would have been a failure, managed to arrive in time from the East to give us a little much-needed support. Eddie Fortier’s orchestra, the school’s old reliable standby, offered the latest pieces, with a good deal of pep and rhythm. At about eleven-thirty the refreshments, ice cream, cake, and coffee, were served, and then after two or three more much-applauded encores the dance was brought to a close. The guests, all agreeing that it had been a good dance, broke up to find amusement elsewhere. THE SPRING DANCE, 1930 On a warm, balmy night a week after school started, April fifth, to be exact, a good crowd turned out to attend the spring dance. A most successful innovation was presented this year by the sponsors of the dance. It was decided to use the library as the dance floor. This room proved to have several advantages not the least of which was the temperature. One of the big objections to the dining room as a floor was the almost unbearable heat. The library, on the other hand because of its high ceiling, was very comfortable. Although financial difficulties worried Tycoons McLane and Howard very considerably, the effort expended in procuring a more expensive orchestra was well spent, for Art Goldberg instilled spirit (purely mental) into the party which will make every one who came want to come again. Refreshments were produced late in the evening in the dining room, which were greatly appreciated by the foot-sore but happy couples. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. McLane, Mr. and Mrs. Chute, and Dr. and Mrs. Alder. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM, 1929 The last social gathering (excepting always the happy reunion during College Board Week) in the school year of 1929 was the junior-senior prom, held on Friday night, June the seventh, at the Woodhill Country Club. The party was undoubtedly a complete success even from the chaperones’ point of view, for during refreshments a goodly number of these worthies, in fact, a host, was seen gathered about the piano demonstrating their ability at clogging and the rendition of fairly popular pieces (we tried to find out where they got it, but we couldn't). At seven-thirty dinner was served. During the last courses of this and throughout the evening Norvy and his orchestra played with unprecedented ferocity. As the affair progressed the .Senior and ladies’ favors were presented. The graduating class received containers for the ungodly nicotine and the ladies were given things that looked at first like change purses and later turned out to be carry-alls with key-chain attached. At twelve, a light supper was served, and at one-thirty the gaiety ended. A responsible committee, Frank Plant, Walt Walker, John Snyder, and Fred Chute, attended to the finances in such a way that they left the Juniors of 1929 as little broke as possible, for which we humbly thank them. SENIOR DINNERS This year the Senior Dinners, although there was only one each term, have been of the usual high standard. The purpose of these dinners, to broaden the viewpoint of the boys about to graduate in choosing a life career, was ably carried out by three very different, but at the same time very interesting speakers. Mr. Slater, more generally known as one of the Blake Masters, was the guest of the evening at the first dinner, held on October fifteenth. During the course of his speech he brought to our attention how badly America needs college-trained men, not for business, but for politics and other fields of public endeavor. He urged us to consider not entirely financial returns in choosing a career, but also the benefit to society. Mr. Eck, consulting engineer for the Minneapolis Gas Works, was the guest on January sixteenth. He gave an interesting account of the life of an engineer. He told those considering some line of scientific activity that they must look forward to a very exacting but extremely interesting college course. He went on to say that after graduation there are endless opportunities for enterprising young men. The last meeting of the year, held on April twenty-third, found Mr. Leslie, of the John Leslie Paper Company, with us as the speaker of the evening. He started out by showing us how paper is made, and telling us a few fundamentals of the paper business. Later he generalized, demonstrating the terrific pace any business concern must set to keep up with its competitors. The address was well received as the number of questions asked indicated. It will be difficult in years to come to maintain the standard of the Senior Dinners set in 1930. We have been unusually fortunate in obtaining varied as well as excellent speakers. The Senior Class owes great thanks to the men who have been so kind as to address it. Page Fifty-nine FOOTBALL DINNER On Friday, January tenth, the largest football dinner in the history of Blake was held at the country school. Members of the first, second and third squads, and of A, B, and C teams, with all coaches were present. Mr. Alder was toastmaster, and introduced in order, Mike, who gave out the letters, Captain Chute, and Captain-elect Russell. After a short speech by each of the two captains, the meeting was turned over to “Santy Claus Bill Slater, who gave an appropriate gift to each letter-man, meanwhile punning with might and main. Banty Coulter then presented “Santy Claus Bill” with an airplane in which to make his southern journeys, and the cheerful company rolled on. HOCKEY DINNER On April twenty-sixth, the hockey dinner was held at the home of Captain Walker. All the lettermen, Walker, Snyder, Schermerhorn, Chute, Bailey, FitzGerald, Wells, Wright, Cash, Lauritzen, and Savage were present. Because of illness, Coach Banty Coulter was unable to be present, and was greatly missed. After dinner the members of the team held an informal discussion of the events of the season, and later were shown a most interesting motion picture of the African expedition of Walt’s cousins, Kenneth and Fletcher Walker. After the movie the merry company played bridge until eleven o’clock, when they took leave of their host and rolled homeward. SWIMMING DINNER Because of the aquatic ability of the Rizer brothers, these staunch supporters of the swimming team have led that organization for two years in succession, and on Saturday, May twelfth, this year’s little celebration was again held at the Rizer home. Love of a good time has always been a characteristic of the Blake splashers, and no one his ever reported seeing them downhearted. Certainly the unusually successful season of 1930 did nothing to lessen this spirit. After an excellent dinner, fer which many thanks are due to Mrs. Rizer, short speeches by Mr. Bosanko, Captain Rizer, and Captain-elect Robertson were given. In a burst of generosity, stop watches were presented by the team to its hard-working coach, Johnny Hartman, and its worthy faculty advisor, Mr. Bosanko. The rest cf the evening was spent in playing Dridge and other games, and when the time came to go we left most reluctantly. Page Sixty FOUNDER’S DAY The annual Founder’s Day exercises were more than ordinarily impressive this year. The events that transpired were of great moment to the school. A work of unselfish generosity was brought to a close cn that day. On Thursday, November twenty-first—the day set for the ceremony—a schedule was arranged which was short enough so that all work could be completed by 1:30, at which time the exercises were to begin. When the chapel was filled with students and parents the choir marched in singing the processional. After the congregation had sat down Mr. Alder arose and, in a few words, introduced Mr. Charles C. Bovey, the donor of the splendid new organ which had just been installed and which completed the memorial chapel he has presented the school in remembrance of his father and mother. As Mr. Bovey came to the front of the platform the school rose in a body to show their appreciation of his beautiful gift. In his dedication speech he briefly outlined the hopes and dreams of the men who had founded Blake nearly twenty years ago on this lofty hill in its wood of oak. He traced its early history, the difficulties which had to be encountered, and the final emergence of the school as one of the finest country day schools in the United States with a scholastic record almost unsurpassed and a physical institution scarcely to be equalled by another school of its age. Lastly, he told of the desire which he had cherished for many years of erecting a chapel at Blake worthy of its excellence, and how he had at last fulfilled that desire with the construction of the organ. In closing his dedication he formally presented the chapel and the organ to Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, president of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Crosby received the gift in behalf of the school with many sincere expressions of gratitude and praise for the man who through his largess both in time and money had helped Blake so tremendously. A short but delightful recital was then given by Mr. Geiser which revealed the truly lovely quality of the new gift. The choir sang several special numbers accompanied by it, and the entire congregation joined in agreeing that the effect was beautiful. Because of the inclemency of the weather which unfortunately made the traditional Brown and White football game impossible, the school was dismissed immediately after the services were finished. Tea was served for the parents in the Library at three o’clock, and following that, the fathers were subjected to the daily student grind—for a shorter time. When they left the classrooms, wilted and bedraggled, they were badly in need of refreshment, which they received in the shape of an excellent fathers’ dinner. Page Sixty- THE MOTHER’S ASSOCIATION The Mothers’ Association of Blake School has had three meetings during the year at the Junior School. All but eight parents belong to the association, and the meetings were fairly well attended. At the meeting in April, 1929, the officers for the year were elected. President, Mrs. Lyndon King; vice-president, Mrs. Hendrik Booraem; secretary, Mrs. Charles Harris; and treasurer, Mrs. George Doerr. It was decided at this meeting to have a dinner at the Minikahda Club, to which the parents of a list of possible new Blake students were to be invited. Two hundred dollars was voted from the Blake Mothers’ Association’s funds to help the expenses of guests at the dinner, which proved a success and a good advertisement for Blake. Mrs. McCann, chairman of the dinner committee, announced at the October meeting that fifteen boys from families attending the dinner were now enrolled at Blake. At the October meeting the following committees were announced: Library, Mrs. John Connell, chairman; Dinner Dance Chapercn Committee, with Mrs. Hollcrn, chairman; Boarding Boys’ Committee, with Mrs. Rizer, chairman; and the Poetry Committee, with Mrs. Sherin chairman. The duties of the Poetry Committee were to collect a group of poems from which the boys were to choose their selections for the monthly programs. At the March meeting Mrs. Covey was appointed chairman of the nominating committee, and Mrs. Henry Atw'ood of the dinner committee. Another dinner will be held at the Minikahda Club similar to the one held there last year. A vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Devaney for the couch which she contributed to the teachers’ rest room. Also seventy-five dollars was voted for accessories to brighten the Second Grade room. During the year Form meetings were held for each class under the direction of the association. The officers for the coming year were elected at the April meeting. They arc: President, Mrs. John Dobson; vice-president, Mrs. Malcolm Moore; secretary, Mrs. Ward Burton; and treasurer, Mrs. Owen Horne. With a balance of over three hundred dollars on hand, and with an eye to the needs of a fast-growing institution, the Mothers’ Association should have another useful year in 1930. Respectfully submitted, Ella L. Burton (Mrs. Ward C. Burton) Secretary April 30, 1930. Page Sixty-four C Mclone McLane Schermerhorn Chute Atwood Mr. Alder Howard Walker THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has earnestly tried throughout the school year to promote and foster the best interests of the school. The Council has played an active part in school life by making arrangements for school affairs and by acting in the capacity of an advisory board to the Headmaster and the Faculty. This year many important projects have been discussed and drawn up. The introduction of a point system for regulation of offices was discussed and will in all probability be put into effect during the coming year. The purpose of this system is to distribute the holding of offices so that the honors may be more evenly divided and in order that certain individuals may not be too heavily burdened. The handbook for the coming year was revised by the Council. A publicity committee was elected. The calendar of the coming events was prepared. As the custom has been, the Dramatic Association officers were chosen by the Council, but provisions were made for the election of these officers by the Dramatic Association. The Council sponsored the raising of the Christmas fund for the help. The fund which was started for the sponsorship of the Armenian lad last year, was raised to its full quota. The fund amounted to two hundred dollars. Two dances, this year, the Christmas dance on December twentieth, and the Spring dance on April fifth, were sponsored by the Council, and the high standard of the Blake dances was easily maintained. I have tried to give a brief summary of the things accomplished by the Council this year. These are but small particulars in the benefits and purposes of the organization. By frank and straightforward suggestions and criticisms, the Council should be of great benefit to the Headmaster. They should not only do this, but also lead the school by their example and show the student body the purposes for which the Council is established. Future Councils should try to see the importance of their position and aid in making the organization of great value to the school. We have carried out the policies of the Council which have been established and we sincerely hope that future Councils will do even more than this. Fred H. Chute President of the Council Bovey Russell Booraem Wells Hallowed Rizer Nash Chute Snyder MeLane Knoblauch Steiner Schermerhorn Walker Wales Mr. Lamb THE UNION For the benefit of these who do not realize just what the Blake Union stands for, we will endeavor to give you an idea of its various purposes. The Union was originally created with two ideas foremost in mind. One was to give the students an opportunity outside of school, to develop their forensic faculties and to give them experience in orderly parliamentary procedure. The other outstanding purpose behind the Union was to afford the boys a mild form of club to take the place of fraternities at Blake. This year the Union has carried cut these plans to a high degree of satisfaction to all the members. Our meetings have been regular throughout the year and very few of the members have missed any sessions. It has been a custom to have a faculty guest at every meeting, but this year we felt it was slightly overdone and we deviated from this tradition by picking our guests more infrequently. Union meetings are held on every other Friday evening. They commence with a dinner at the Country School. Following the dinner the members gather in the Library to hold their formal meeting. After the business has been concluded the meeting is adjourned by singing the Alma Mater. Then an open forum is held in which all the members take part. Most of the topics of discussion are of school interest. After losing the annual debate with St. Paul Academy for six consecutive years, last year’s Union members took the matter in hand and did much to create interest and put school spirit behind this difficulty. Consequently the debate was won by Blake this season. This shows indeed the influence of the Union in creating a spirit for better things. Late in June the Union banquet is held at the Minneapolis Athletic Club. All the new members as well as the old members are present with their fathers. This final meeting is looked upon by all as the epitome of the year’s meetings. The Union has stood the test of time for fifteen years and has emerged an influential body which strives to elevate the standards of the school through its good will and dignified fellowship. The work of Mr. Lamb has been a great factor in making the Union what it is today. We greatly appreciate his efforts and we sincerely hope he will continue to give us the benefit of his guidance as he has done in the past years.

Its object is the encouragement and reward of high attainment on the part of the students in secondary schools, and the means it employs to accomplish this object are similar to those used by the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Chapters have been established in a number of outstanding preparatory schools in the East. On February 12, 1927, Blake was voted in at a meeting of the general convention of the Society. Those students who have had an honor record up to the time of their election and stand in the upper fifth of the class are elected by the chapter. HONORARY MEMBERS Charles C. Bovey Franklin M.

The double quartet rendered “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” On December 20, they sang a group of traditional Christmas carols. The new “Blake Torch Song,” composed by Lamar Hallowcll, was introduced on February 27. The crowning success of the year was the rendition of John Stainer’s “The Crucifixion,” which constituted the Easter service on April 17. This required a great amount of practise and was exceptionally well done for a group of this size. Solos were taken by Joseph Clifford, Lamar Hallowell, and William Peet. On May 12, the choir assisted at the mother's and father's dinner at the Minikahda Club by singing a number of college and school songs. For vespers, the choir repeated “God So Loved the World” by Stainer. The addition of the new organ has greatly enhanced the work of the organization and the outlook for next year is very promising. The choir has progressed entirely through the effort and persistency of Mr. Geiser, and his loss will be severely felt by them in the time to come. Page Sixty-nine Page Seventy m Okp � Alder Olson Booraem Russell Peet Bovey Bellows McCann, T. Gamble THE DEBATING TEAM PUBLIC SPEAKING The present year has been one of the most successful in the history of public speaking at Blake. The speaking has been of a high calibre and the contests have, on the whole, been very well attended. This was especially true of the debate with St. Paul Academy. In the Lower School this year, the regular weekly presentations of poems and short prose selections have been carried on under the leadership of Mr. Coulter and Mr. Christian. The Wilson Cup Contest which closes the season has not yet been held but we sincerely hope that the high standard attained last year when the cup was won by Charles Bellows will be continued. Page Seventy-tuo In the Upper School, debating has been stressed more strongly than in previous years as it was felt that our continued loss of the St. Paul debate was due to the lack of early training. In the Fourth and Fifth Forms, debates were held in the class rooms in connection with English, while debates between the Sixth and Seventh Forms were held in the Chapel before the Upper School. Because of the stressing of debating, much of the other Upper School public speaking has been dropped. The Fourth and Fifth Form declamations, never of much value, have been omitted. However, the Fifth Form declamation contest for the Union Medal, won by Charles Bellows, was held. In the Senior Class, the extemporaneous speeches given in the morning at Chapel have also been discontinued and debating substituted. However, two contests, the Williams Theme Contest and the Thorpe Cup Contest, both open to Seniors, were held this year as usual. The former was won by Dean Rizer with a paper on “Modern Exploration,” with Hendrik Booraem who spoke on the “Modern Drama,” second. The Thorpe Cup Contest, which is a five minute extemporaneous speaking contest, on some subject concerning Minnesota, has unfortunately not yet been held this year. Last year in this contest, a new system of judging was adopted under which three men each judged one phase of the subject and marked the speaker upon his ability. These marks were averaged to determine the winner. We feel that this system is an excellent one and should be applied to all Blake speaking contests since it leads to more accurate judging. The effect of early training in debate became immediately apparent when for the first time in six years the Blake Debating Team registered a victory over the team from St. Paul Academy although an unusually short time was spent in preparation. The winning team was composed of John Bovey, Thomas McCann, Charles Bellows and Charles Gamble, alternate. As all of this team, with the exception of the alternate, will return next year, the prospect for future victories is bright. The constructive criticism of Dr. Bryn-Jones given before he announced the decision of the judges, should be very helpful to debaters of the future. In closing, may we add that, although we believe the fine support of the student body contributed much to the success of public speaking at Blake this year, we owe even more to those who coached the various speakers. We wish to express our appreciation of the efforts of Mr. Coulter and Mr. Christian in the Lower Schoool and of the tireless work of Mr. Slater with the debating team. Page Seventy-three Page Seventy-four Page Seventy-six THE DRAMATICS CAST One� ------------ DRAMATICS “Gassed,” a smooth-moving, colorful little concoction of collegiate love and youthful slang was the curtain raiser. The cast was composed of five members of the Blake dormitory “gang,” with li’l Webbie Bull, the broad-shouldered and sharp-jawed sheik, and Barclay Harris, a pinch hitter, cast as opponents for the favor of a sweet co ed who finally turned out to be married to a bothersome freshman, enacted by John Savage, of the Duluth Savages. Furnishing background and “dramatic relief,” Doc. Bradley and Josephus Weissenbach pattered along through the play. All involved deserve the customary credit, Bradley especially. Probably the outstanding dramatic achievement of the evening was the one-act melodrama, “The Valiant.” The Blake cast did full justice to the potentialities of this splendid play. A1 Williams, as the convict, displayed an ability and dramatic force that stamps him as one of the best actors in the school. Martin Wales as the warden, Hendrik Booraem as the prison chaplain, and John Bovey as “the girl” were letter perfect in their parts and carried the action of the play along in even and forceful style. Nor should we forget the uniformed impressiveness of Fred Nash and G. B. Van Dusen, who spoke their few lines with well-measured brevity. All joking aside, however, “The Valiant” was the high spot of this year’s plays and we arc proud of the fine job our boys did with it. Every evening of dramatics must have its mystery and crook story, of course, and to fill that requirement a cast of six well-chosen characters gave a smooth, clever presentation of “Well, I Declare!” Charles Gamble and Bob Howard were the scientific doctors bamfoozled by two slick crooks, Burton Salter and Bill Peet, assisted by their reporter friend, John Alder. John Palm gave a few acquiescences and accomplished the transportation of a dish of fruit as the perfect servant. Best shot: Burt Salter after his “interjection.” “It’ll Be All Right on the Night,” a hard-hitting, peppy farce sent everyone home with a chuckle. Presented on a bare stage, this little skit portrayed the trials and tribulations of a dramatic coach on the eve of the big night. Lamar Hallowell as the irascible director, and Morris Arnold, the Packsniffian author, were a hot and cold team whose troubles were aggravated by a motley crew of would-be high-powered actors. In this gob of collegiate indifference—this ambitious cast against whose daisylike carefreeness the blandishments of Director Hallowell were pressed in vain—were Bill Schilling, Barclay Harris, Tom Crosby, Charles Bellows and Tom McGinn. Bob Benson was the irate piano tuner and Ray Olson seemed to fit in pretty well as the dumb French janitor. When, at a tense moment in the farcial drama, Tommie McCann lost his practice skirt and revealed a pretty little pair of picture-panties, the house came down in the traditional gales of laughter, loud and prolonged. The curtain came down right after Tom’s skirt. Incidentally, a goodly sum of money was realized from the plays for the promotion of athletic travel and sight-seeing to be done this spring by the Blake baseball team. As stage managers, business managers, ticket hawkers, ushers and what not, the following “did their bit”: Fred Chute, Ed Schermerhorn, Fran Knoblauch, Walt Walker, John McLane, Hilt Bailey, Ben Wright, Dud Russell.

Page Seventy■ THE SHORT STORY CLUB The Short Story Club throughout the winter term of 1930 has been one of the best enjoyed organizations among the activities of the Seniors and juniors. It can, however, scarcely be called an organization since the element of obligation is entirely absent. Although there are no rules whatsoever governing its attendance, nevertheless, a large number Seniors and Juniors have been present during the past winter, and have had a very enjoyable time at each gathering. The first meeting, as usual, was held at Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland's home on Sunday evening, January nineteenth. The group of clever Parisian stories by Leonard Merrick showed us clearly that Mr. Cleveland had not lost his ability to choose stories of interest. The second meeting of the term took place at Johnny Snyder’s house, on February second. Stimson’s “By Due Process of Law,” an absorbing account of a man’s revenge, was the first story read. We found the next one, Morgan Robertson’s “The Hairy Devil,” one of the most exciting tales any of us had ever read. February sixteenth found us at Al Robertson’s, where we heard a most interesting story of a blind cobbler, and two of the cleverest stories of the incomparable “Saki.” The last meeting of the year was held at Fred Nash's house. Here a complete novelette in itself by Du Bose Hayward, author of “Porgy,” was first read by Mr. Cleveland. This strange tale of the supernatural was followed by Anton Chekov’s account of a man who went into solitary confinement for fifteen years. Thus the 1930 season of the club ended. Mention surely must be made in this article of the delectable food which our hostesses prepared for us at each meeting. We would have indeed missed greatly these delicious suppers, and we extend our sincerest thanks to the mothers, hoping that we will have as enjoyable a season next year. Page Eighty Qhn M£fc,o'J2 as =« THE SCIENCE CLUB The years ’29 and 30 marked the second successful season of Blake’s science organization. At the beginning of the year the framework of government of the club was revised to suit the needs of the growing organization and to limit membership to those really desirous of obtaining scientific knowledge beyond the school curriculum. Four new members were added to the roll this year: Hallowell, Wales, Steiner, and F. Booraem, which brings the membership to thirty-four. The same style of meeting has been continued this year, that is, several lectures and demonstrations before dinner and a film dealing with commercial science in conclusion. One exception to the club’s activities this season has been that the trips to places of scientific interest have been more or less discontinued. We believe this feature to be of great value to the student of science and should be re-established in future years. A further improvement this year has been the custom of meeting once a month instead of twice as before. This has tended to heighten interest and to provide more complete programs. If the interest in science which has been shown in the two previous years continues, as we have every reason to believe it will, we feel certain that the aims of its founders will be carried out completely. In closing, we wish to express our sincere appreciation of the efforts which Mr. Hodkinson has made in order that we might receive the most interesting and valuable scientific information. Page Eighty-one o THE FRENCH CLUB During the greater part of the year, this organization has continued to offer its members an opportunity to develop their abilities in spoken French. Meetings have been held at the homes of several of the members and they have all been interesting and instructive. The first part of these gatherings were conducted almost entirely in French, or at least in what well-meaning Blake boys think the language ought to be. From the time the honorable John Bovey, alias M. le President, spoke the magic words, “La seance est ouverte,” till he pronounced that tension-relieving phrase, “La seance formale est finie,” not a word of English (that is, only a very, very few) was uttered by this little group of serious thinkers. Of course these battles with “Les regies parlementaires were quite a strain on the boys, and a little nourishment was necessary before they could recover their accustomed frivolity. Perhaps “a little is putting it a bit too mildly. This organization shares with the Short Story Club the honor of being able to consume the greatest amount of food per capita, or wherever it goes, of any group in the school. With the addition of musical talent in the person of Marty Wales and his banjo, the club felt obliged to keep up to date and adopt a theme song, “Madelon. This, and other well-known French ditties, soon became regular features on the program. The meetings usually ended by a discussion of some topic of interest, and when the guests had gone, and the smoke had cleared away, the host was left to survey the ashes. In the spring term, due to the press of other activities, it was decided to discontinue the meetings, but plans were made for the future and the club will probably resume its activities next fall. Among the changes contemplated by Mr. Bosanko are the addition of more reading from current French plays and books, and perhaps holding the meetings at the school, as do the Union and the Science Club.

Booraem, however, was quick to fall into the swing of things, and the success of this year’s Torch was in no small part due to his efforts. Wales, the School Editor, could always be depended on to cover all the school activities on time. Bovey’s literary talent showed up in the excellent short stories which were a regular feature of the Torch. Steiner, the photograph editor, set up his pictures for the Call o’ Pan in a way which speaks for itself. It was felt by the Board that some measure should be taken to assure an experienced Board for next year. Those Juniors who had secured ads or had in other ways displayed an active interest were made assistants to the editor. They received sufficient knowledge to enable them to do a more finished job next year. The first Torch came out just after school started, setting forth the policies of the new Board. The second issue appeared while football was still fresh in the minds of the student body, with a full page picture of the team and individual write-ups of the lettermen. Because of a lack of news the next one did not go to press until late in January. There was a wealth of literary material in this number. Swimming and hockey as well as dramatics were featured in the fourth issue. Pictures of all three of these activities were included. The Board for 1930-31 put out the last issue during the latter part of May. Page Eighly-fivi The school has not as a whole supported the publications well beyond the paying of their subscription fees. The ads came in slowly and because of lack of funds we were not able to publish a sixth issue of the Torch as we had planned. What success the Board has had is due largely to a small Board working well together. In closing we wish to thank those members of the faculty and student body who have helped us in any way.

Shortly after the beginning of the term it began to function by voting on the managers and the letter men. The association sponsored the football dinner which five teams attended and which was successful from every standpoint. All teams were financially supported in such a way as to make better facilities for the teams and for the various contests. Regular meetings were held in the chapel and the first and second forms were prohibited from voting except on coefficient matters. Before the end of the year the association hopes to introduce a new budget system for all sports which will go into effect next year. We wish to thank the Dramatic Association for its financial support, and Mr. Horne and Mr. Cleveland for their invaluable co-operation and advice.

The largest squad in the history of Blake made its appearance, and bolstered by the return of six lettermen: Captain Chute, Walker, Rizer, Schermerhom, Wright, and Howard, it looked very promising. Nearly forty candidates showed a real Blake spirit in turning out every day for scrimmage. Our first game was with Breck School of St. Paul, a new institution, which brought a heavy team to our field. Blake showed no brilliant football but easily romped over the St. Paul team by the score of 50 to 0. This score though large meant little as the Breck team was rather unorganized. The second game of the season was played with Bethel also of St. Paul. This game was a stiffer contest and the Bethel players with no substitutes showed much grit. Blake triumphing by a score of 19 to 0 showed more organization in this game, and it looked as if we were progressing. The third contest was a tilt with Roosevelt High. In this game many weaknesses were revealed in our team. The game ended 0 to 0. Team play was decidedly weak and the tackling was ineffective. Two weeks of practice brought us to the Pillsbury game on November 1. The contest started with the teams battling fairly evenly. One of the strongest Pillsbury aggregations ever on the Blake field played a strong game of straight football and defeated us 20 to 0. Blake lacked the real fighting spirit and played a very spotty game. The defeat was discouraging but made the team determined to finish the season by winning the S. P. A. game. Thus on November 9th the Blake team met S. P. A. on our own field, not discouraged and by no means overconfident. Straight football with the team play which was lacking in the Pillsbury game, gave Blake a very pleasing and decided victory by a score of 20 to 0. All plays were completed to advantage and many passes were made good. This ended the season successfully. Mike Horne and Mr. Slater worked hard for the success of the team, Mike coaching the first team with his usual spirit and skill, and Mr. Slater directing the best second team in many years. With Dud Russell as captain and the new stars which were brought to light during the season, the future for the 1930 team is exceedingly bright. Page Ninety-five Page Ninety-six Chute: Captain Chute proved to be a real captain and leader of the team this year, as it was predicted he would when he was elected last year. He has just finished his fourth year as a regular on the team, which is a record seldom equaled at any school. RUSSELL: “Dud” was practically the unanimous choice for next year’s captain. If he can inspire his team with the real joy of playing football that he acquired this year, what a team it will be. Walker: “Walt” was shifted from guard to tackle this year, and he made up in experience and head work what he lacked in weight. Lauritzen : “Des” showed flashes of real football this year. It is hoped that his flashes will be more consistent next year. Snyder: John played a good, consistent game at end this year. It is unfortunate that he was out of the game last year, due to injuries. Rizer: “Dean” was somewhat handicapped this year because it was necessary to alternate him at end and guard. He showed a wonderful team spirit in giving all he had at either position. Wright: Besides being a consistent player, “Ben” has that rare spirit which inspires the whole team. With two more years to play at Blake, he has a brilliant future in football. Bull: “Web” was one of the hardest working men on the squad this year. With more weight and speed which will come by next fall, he will be heard from. Page Ninety-eight McLane: “Mac” showed flashes of the spirit and ability that made his brother Vincent famous in Blake football back in 1914-15. It is hoped that John will be equally famous in 1930. Schermerhorn: “Bevo” carried on the family traditions set by his brother Bob of past years, as a hard plunger and a sure tackier. He will be sadly missed by Blake next fall. Heskett: This was Heskett’s first year on the team. Next year, if he develops confidence in his ability he should turn in a wonderful account of himself. Nash : Fred has played on the scrub team for four years, seldom missing a practice; taking the beatings of scrimmage with the first squad without complaint. His letters have cost him more hard knocks than any other man on the squad. But he won it. Page Ninety-nine __ —--- Schilling: Although “Bill” is not new to Blake football, this was his first year on the school team. He has the prospects of being a back to be feared by Blake’s opponents in the future. Bradley : A newcomer to Blake this year; played a good, consistent game at end. MacFarlane: Mac turned in a creditable game at guard this year. If he develops confidence in himself as a result of this year’s experience, he will be a valuable live man next year. Alder: John made his letter this year by giving everything he had every day in practice and in every game. Page One Hundred “Mike” Horne, with his usual ability as a coach, turned out another record team this year. He put all his energy into proving Blake’s supremacy over S. P. A. We hope to see his brillant red sweater on the field for many years to come. “Bill” Slater proved an able second to “Mike,, as assistant coach. With his second team he whipped many darkhorses into first class material. The abundant humor in his gigantic frame helped to keep up the spirit of the team. Wales: As manager, “Marty” was hard working and faithful, and at no time was there any “slip up” in the arrangements or detail. He performed a thankless job in a fine spirit. Page One Hundred One THE VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club, which was established in the fall of 1923, is annually composed of those who have won their major “B.” A key is awarded on which is inscribed the athletic record during the Upper School years.

It lost to De La Salle, St. Thomas and St. Paul Central by a margin which tended to make us hopeful. Our game with Shattuck was a decisive defeat for which we can offer no alibi, but the team on the whole looks lots better than it has for the last two years. This change is due to two things, first of which is better material. All of last year’s team is back with the exception of Captain Van Dusen. The players are much more experienced and have a better technical knowledge of the game than before. Also we have changed our coaching system. Instead of having a large squad of twenty-five or thirty we have a very small squad of nineteen. The pitching staff is a neater looking group than ever before. We have the regulars, Wright and Howard, and have two substitutes who are working on the mound at odd moments, Anderson and Lauritzen. We also have our pick of four catchers, Lauritzen, Wright, Walker and Woodrich. We have all sorts of players on the infield ranging from the “little fellow” to Bradley, the hard-hitting third bagman. Our outfield is exceptionally strong, consisting of Duffy, Chute and Wright or Howard. Our hitters range from Bradley, who at present is batting well over .500 per cent, clear down to the second team. “Mike” has a new way of coaching and it looks pretty good to us. He is letting the team use their own judgment during games and only once have we seen him on the bench with the team. We wish Johnnie Snyder and his boys the best of luck in their coming games.

After a few of the essential and fundamental chalk-talks by Coach Coulter, the squad started their practice on the new rinks donated by the trustees. We are very grateful indeed to these men who gave Blake a fine warming house and two new rinks. The first game of the season was with De 1 Salle. The Blake team captured a 1-0 victory on our ice on the tenth of January. Our next game brought us to Faribault where we met Shattuck. The Shads are good sports and always offer plenty of fast opposition. The first goal was made in the third period by Chute through an assist by Wright. Shattuck came back strong and tied the score. Then with twenty seconds to play Savage made a pretty shot which gave Blake the Captain Walker game 2-1. Page One Hundred Ten The next important game came on the 31st of January. On that day we met our old foes of Saint Paul Academy. In the first period Wright rounded the defense and put the puck in the nets. This gave impetus to the Blake attack and Walker swept down for another counter. The final goal was made by Chute through an assist by Wright in the last period. This shut out Saint Paul by a 3-0 score. Much credit was due to Cash who substituted for Snyder in the Blake nets. On the seventh of February we again took on Saint Paul Academy. This time our fortune had changed and so had the weather. We played the game in slush under a very warm sun. Our men were penalized quite heavily and we lost the game 3-0. The climax of the season was reached when we played the ever-fighting Shads on the Arena Rink on the 15th of February. This was the big affair of the hockey season. A large and enthusiastic audience urged the players on to greater speed. All through the game the battle was hotly contested. For a time the Shads had the edge and then, the Blake sextet would surge forward. Finally after three regular periods and two overtime periods the game ended in a deadlock 0-0, thus closing the season. These were the main games but of course there were numerous practice games with the city high schools. West and Central offered most of the scrap and good fun. The management has given us very decent ice this year and we hope they will continue to do so next season. Walt Walker led his team through a successful season and he was undoubtedly the outstanding player on the ice. We are fortunate in having Snyder as our next captain and under the expert coaching of Coulter, Blake should have a very powerful and aggressive team in 1931.

For the second time in history Blake boasts a Twin City championship team. West, Minneapolis champions, defaulted on three occasions, while St. Paul Central, St. Paul champions, was defeated by Blake. The season started auspiciously on January 22 when we beat South High 48 to 29. In this meet the 160-yard relay team of Russell, Morriss, Brooks and Rizer set a new school record. The next meet, with Shattuck, was lost though the 160-yard relay team of Robertson, Russell, Morriss and Rizer lowered the school record for the second time. After disposing of Humboldt and Washington High Schools of St. Paul, Blake entered the M. A. C. Captain Rizer invitation meet. We had two entries, the relay team Page One Hundred Fourteen and the breast stroke. This gave us the second cup. Washington, whom we had beaten, won first place with a first and a second. The relay team composed of Robertson, Russell, Morriss and Rizer won first place while Atkinson placed third. March 1st saw Blake lose its first meet on record to Rochester. However, on the next Saturday Blake staged a comeback and put Rochester where they belonged. The relay team again lowered the record, this time to 1:22. Edison and St. Paul Central were easily disposed of and the season ended with only two defeats against six wins. On March 15th the Lower School meet was held. John Pierson won first by a wide margin. Between events the varsity men tried to set new records. Guy Thomas of last year’s team lost all of his free style records. Captain Rizer set a new record for the 100-yard swim. Atkinson broke the 220-yard record. Captain-elect Robertson set a new record for the 40-yard dash, swimming it in 19 seconds which is two-fifths of a second lower than the official state record. The high point man of the year was Fred Atkinson. He was followed by Captain Rizer and Clark Fletcher in the order named. Eight letters were awarded, the letter men being: Captain Rizer, Captain-elect Robertson, Morriss, Mills, Atkinson, Russell, Fletcher, Schilling, and Olson, manager. Three lettermen will be missing next year, Rizer, Morriss and Mills. Rizer, who has been working for four years, will be greatly missed. His work in the 100-yard swim and the 40-yard dash was very commendable. Morriss, who for two years held up the duties of backstroke swimmer, gave way to Fletcher. He devoted his time to relay swimming and was on the championship relay team. Roger Mills, from Rochester, has for two years held up the burden of the 220 in praiseworthy style. Despite the loss of these men, it is hoped that under Captain Alvin Robertson the team will have another successful season next year. Raymond Olson Manager Page One Hundred Fifteen Page One Hundred Sixteen TENNIS C}h$L, a—i MacFarlane Atkinson Mr. Qeveland Bailey Schermerhorn. Captain Knoblauch TENNIS 1929-1930 During the past few years, under the able guidance of Mr. Cleveland, tennis has gained popularity so fast that the Athletic Association is now seriously considering rating it as a possible major sport. The best argument in favor of this is the fine record which the teams of the last two years have turned out. This year, on account of the largest number in the history of Blake tennis trying out for the team, and also because the ten best players are very evenly matched, a peg tournament is being conducted instead of the elimination used in previous seasons. So far it seems to us that Schermerhorn (last year’s captain), Knoblauch, Bailey, and MacFarlane have a slight edge, with the former quite sure of No. 1 berth. There are about five others, however, who are trying hard, and there is likely to be a displacement at any time. In regard to this year’s meets, the team is pointing especially toward revenge on Shattuck, and their chances seem very strong. Also, if Milwaukee has a tennis team, our three best players will probably accompany the baseball team there. Other matches of interest will be with De La Salle, St. Thomas, an open date not filled in yet, and last, but not least, St. Paul. Page One Hundred Eighteen CO-EFFICIENT FOOTBALL The co-efficient football season at Blake last year was the best ever experienced. All three teams were under excellent coaching and certainly proved it when the games came. The A team won both their games. The B team, too evenly matched with the St. Paul team to win, tied their first game and lost the second one. The C team won both their games by the large scores of 40 to 0, and 54 to 6. The fine teams produced is an example of the attitude taken toward football by the Lower Schoolers. Football is a strenuous game. It takes real “guts” to get in the middle of the pile-up and fight to the last for your team. It takes the necessary training pounded into the boys at the start of the season by “bear-walking, duck-walking, taking stances and then running the length of the field several times,” and the like. Most of the boys did all these things with dogged determination to make the team. A very few did not. A word about the coaches. Mr. Owen (Shup) was always on hand at practices. His excellent football experience and training made him invaluable to the A team. His cheering words filled the boys with enthusiasm and made them give “until it hurt.” Mr. Strickland (Strickie) came to B practices with a beaming smile which spread from ear to ear, and a headful of practical football knowledge. Then the C team with faithful Mr. Mokros (Mokic). Mr. Mokros was always there to help his “boys” win their letters on the best C team ever produced at Blake. Mr. Coulter, general “handy-man” migrating daily from the C field up to the A team, was always welcomed (although it took time to realize how valuable he really was to the boys). I don’t believe it necessary to say anything about the individual stars of the teams. We all have our heroes and I believe that you all know well enough the boys who did outstanding services to their respective teams. At the end of the season came (of course) the banquet, which all three teams had the honor to attend. This was a great success and speaking for the Lower School, may I say that if football banquets are ever stopped at Blake, it will be a great loss. In closing, may I say that the co-efficients had a fine time this season. The boys worked like demons, took their hard knocks with a smile, and followed the excellent advice of their coaches to carry them to victory.
