THE CALL 09 PAN 0F 1933 Gilbert Wilson Stewart giCib bygi tiln my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood? Baseball Team, ,32, ,33 Entered Blake 1932 University of Minnesota Gibby has been known to keep the Senior room in an uproar for periods at a time, With his quiet little remarks, extending from the quietly subtle to the baldly 0b- vious. If he isn,t pitching pennies he is either juggling victrola records or com- posing ctpurity tests? He is the self- Istyled Thorn sportsman and gambleri, of the Senior class, and during the penny pitching season he averaged about a d01- lar and a half a day in profits. In athletics, his fortes are basketball and baseball. If basketball ever does re- appear at Blake as an organized sport, and if a basketball Hoor is incorporated into the field house, ttStew,9 will certainly be able to claim some of the credit for the change. He and a few other faithfuls have organized a basketball team in the field house the last two winters that has aspired to topple the local Hopkins swains from their pinnacle. The urgent appeal which he made to the school in chapel should not go unheard. On the diamond he' is probably the greatest tiHy- hawki7 that Blake has had for many years. This ability is combined with a heavy punch at the plate to- make him a great asset to the ball team. The Senior room will mourn the loss of a real wit and entertainer when itGibT, leaves for parts unknown. Page Twenty-seven

THE CALL 09 PAN 0F 1933 For these four long years, so help us, the Dean has been blissfully slumbering through his classes, displaying enough of the Rosenberry consciousness at in- tervals to give him his diploma at the appointed time. As Coeur d,Aleneis first gift to Blake, he has manfully spent hours defending his native hinterlands from the sneering remarks of the local metropolitan fix- tures. Between trips to town to see the bright lights with the Southern Sage, the Dean may he found at Matfs in Hopkins, asleep in the Senior room, or next to the radio, blearing his eyes over Galsworthy. Our faith Was shaken when he tried to make an impression with Miss Donald- son by borrowing eight books from the Page T wenty-six Howard J ames Rosenberry CiMute9! gDeeper than did ever plummet soun Pll drown my book?

He carries on a furtive, and as it is reported, a futile correspondence with the belles he meets on the train en route from the West. According to all reports from Bleak House, his lovesick lapses often give rise to extreme spells of absent-mindedness, t0 the huge enjoy- ment of Bradley and the Cub. It is rumored that when a product of Miss Hallas School was due to put in an ap- pearance in Minneapolis, Mute, not knowing of the time of her arrival, went to meet every train for a whole day without seeing her. But that is life.

THE CALL 09 PAN OF 1933 This genial youth, who refers to himself as iiprobably the most muscular man in the Senior class? has delighted us all year with his expressions, philosophies, and unsuccessful attempts to appear non- chalant under embarrassing conditions. He is apt to say anything at any time, and, on an average, forty-two and a half per cent of what he says is absolutely meaningless. Without the slightest pro- vocation he has been known to break into a long tirade 0f meaningless words inter- spersed with whistles and groans, He has, we believe, more nicknames than the other fifteen members of the class combined: iiPuddlesf, iiWimpyf-i tiPlutofi and many Page Twenty-eight William Waite Waters ttBilljt muddy, iiThe course of true love never did run smooth?

On the athletic field this year, he has had an enviable record, having won his letter in football, hockey, and baseball. He has yet to miss a fight in the Senior room, although on certain Friday after- noons when he has been prone to study for one reason or another it has been necessary literally to dragrhim t0 the fray. A general tight just doesnit seem right without iiWimpyf, In spite of the fact that he has never been found doing any work except on very rare occasions, he has given Melone a battle all year for scholastic honors and has frequently stood first in the class. h
