THE CALL 09 PAN 0F 1933 Distinguished as being one of the few serious-minded members of a rather hair- brained and hilarious class, Al is known to have his moments of levity, as fre- quently evidenced by the crestfallen ap- pearance and limping gait of many of his classmates. Becoming addicted last year to the pur- suit of the microbe, he has delivered many learned dissertations on bacteria and germs, with the result that half the school believes itself tubercular. In con- vivial moments, his outbreaks of reason- ing delivered at the trough known as the Senior table have been known to silence even the philosophical treatises 0f the irrepressible Wimpy. His acquaintance with Grey,s Anatomy and weighty tomes 0n pathology has established him as an Page Twenty-two Allan J anney Hill, Jr. HAP, tiOf science and logic he chatters As fine and as fast as he can? Council, 31 Union, i332, 33 President of Science Club, ,33 Science Club, ,30, ,31, ,32, ,33 Cum Laude Entered Blake 1921 University of Minnesota authority on matters medical, and has often served to settle the regular Senior room brawls that are playfully termed adiscussionsp When not engaged in blearing his eyes through microscopes or opening fan mail from Chicago, his prowess is exhib- ited as the mentor 0f the touch team, and his skill in making Christiania and Tele- mark turns on skiis has left Lower Schoolers open-mouthed. Deciding upon a pre-medic course, Al is going to cast his lot with the hopefuls at the U. of M., and we suspect that he isn,t oblivious 0f the attractions of co- education. With his insidious fondness for carving and probing, i4Butch,, ought to make the name of Hill famous in the medical world. Caveat emptor.

THE CALL 09 PAN OF 1933 Robert Glynn Heskett eBobt uThat tower of strength Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew? Head Boy, 33 Union, 31, 32, 733 President, Union, ,33 Football, 930, 331, 1'32, ,33 Football Captain, ,33 Swimming Team, 31, 932, ,33 Guy Thomas Trophy, 733 Golf Team, 32 Science Club, ,31, B2, 733 Entered Blake 1929 Harvard In this corner we find a man,s man, to the dismay of the ladies. One would never suspect all his potential thunder to hear him whisper at the upturned blank expressions in chapel on Monday morn- ings, but the storm resulting from a bor- rowed book has often been of such in- tensity as to shake the walls of the Senior room. ' Bob was a pillar of strength when he captained the football team from his right tackle position, and when his good nature was ruffled, his cavortings were something to behold. He was in the Glee Club for a while, but he thoughtfully resigned. They found that he outroared the combined bass section, and the or- ganization was thrown into terror and confusion one day when he found a piece he really liked. The only time he came under a Cloud of suspicion was when he was found, in company with another hilarious class- mate, stowing a chicken under the dash- board of a car parked near the field- house. Upon discovering that the car belonged to an alumnus, the Man Moun- tain masterfully extricated said chicken, amid a storm of squawks and a flurry of feathers. His only Vices, though, are his big feet and his magnanimity. Page Twenty-one

THE CALL 09 PAN 0F 1933 James Gifford LaVake GCJinLS, iiA nice man is a man of nasty ideas? Photographer, Publications, 33 Science Club, ,30, ,31, 32, 733 Entered Blake 1923 University of Minnesota It was late in the autumn of 1923 that Newhall first noticed that there was some- thing in a heap in one corner of Miss Barbouris room. Supposing that it was the winter supply of canned asparagus, he thought nothing more of it until sub- sequent investigation in the spring re.- vealed that it was LaVake. The class let the whole matter drop until 1933, when LaVake persisted in the belief that he was a werewolf and began to snarl viciously at some of the smaller boys. This, coupled with the appearance of a bright yellow Ford, led the class president to appoint a committee of three to determine what LaVake had been doing during the intervening years. This was abandoned when all three members died shortly before the report was finished, presumably from eating bitter almonds. Through his association with airport officials and photographers, LaVake cul- tivated a rather poor bowery accent and spent most of his spare hours insulting people. Throughout his term at Blake, J ames showed remarkable skill in evading iiplayi, and the automobile restrictions. But withal, the Call 0', Pan is grateful to Jimmy, who photographed, developed and printed every scene in this book, a habit which will probably persist at Minnesota. Page Twenty-three
