Prescott Coyle Cleveland Mr. Cleveland, our class advisor, has helped us through this school year successfully from every viewpoint. 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
