O' PAX � E HI.’M Winxlon Mr. Cleveland Wagner Woodhull Carlson Pierson Amidon Clifford. J. McCann Smith Humphrey Harrison Peppard Atkinson. H. Welsh Kenyon Ringer Leslie Doerr, C. Faegre Hunt Cullen Woodrich History of Iho floss of l!i:t I In the fall of 1922 four very terrified young gentlemen, looking as though they didn’t enjoy the prospect of a liberal education, entered the foreboding doors of Junior Blake. These four were John Harrison, William Hunt, McCann and Joseph Clifford. Two weeks later John Winston joined us. These five students were those who were to continue at Blake for twelve solid years. But we finally did graduate. We were to make that big step from the Junior school to “Big Blake.' I believe we were all quaking the first day at Senior Blake, hut our fears were soon forgotten because of the antics of a certain Jimmy Cullen, also Walt Kenyon and Frank Leslie. During the three years of lower school, six new boys joined our class, among whom were Wagner, Fletcher, Woodrich, Carlson, Woodhull, and Ringer. Throughout the lower school Harrison, Woodrich, and Cullen were stars on practically every coefficient team with which they played. With the dawning of our Freshman year, four new members, Doerr, Faegre, Smith, and Welsh, joined our class. It was during this year that Joe Clifford started on his dramatic career at Blake. We were well represented in athletics, since Clark Fletcher, John Harrison, and Clark Welsh were on the swimming team, and Jack Page Ten THE ( U O l'A OK Winston was on the baseball team. The following year we were graced with the presence of Tom Humphrey, better known as Clark Gable. Ted Ringer at this time decided that there was something in life beside studying and he made the swimming team. Wood rich and Fae-gre played for Blake in hockey, and Clifford and Carlson joined Winston on the baseball team. Woodhull, very likely because of so much back-alley practice, also demonstrated his skill as a pitcher. Winston, although his nose seemed to get in the way, made the football team. Clifford and Winston were our first representatives on the publications board, although the former had to resign because of the point system. It was during this year also that Joe started perforating the air on the debating team. At the beginning of our Junior year we were all pleased at the entrance of Harold Atkinson, Welles Pierson and Stephen Keeler. Later in the year, Willard Amidon also joined us. The class started well in football, Winston, Woodhull, and Faegre being on the first team. Faegre, Wood-hull, Cullen, Hunt, and Wood rich obtained letters in Hockey, managed by-Jack Winston. Humphrey and Pierson joined the former lettermen in swimming. Clifford. Hunt, Faegre, Harrison, Woodrich, and Winston, were the sixth form union members. In Dramatics we made a large otter- ing to Mr. Slater, for Clifford. Hunt, Keeler, Leslie, Smith, Woodrich, Woodhull, Ringer, Humphrey, and McCann performed in the plays. Keeler, Ringer, and Woodrich were made members of the publications hoard. As our climax year of Blake appeared before us early in September, we were joined by Jack Peppard who was taking a post-graduate course. In football several seniors, Cullen, Harrison, Welsh, and Woodrich, joined their lettermen classmates of the preceding year. Winston captained the team managed by Frank Leslie to an undefeated season. Amidon was the oidy new member of the swimming team, managed by McCann, which enjoyed a successful, although rather strenuous season. Joe Clifford. Warren Woodrich, and Jack Winston were our representatives on the council. When mentioning school activities one cannot neglect the glee club and the Mikado which made such an overwhelming success, due perhaps to the efforts of the leads, Clifford, Doerr, Woodrich, Woodhull, and Smith. Hunt and Leslie played their part in the chorus. I should like, in behalf of our class, to thank Mr. Cleveland, who has been our class adviser for four years, and whose undying efforts have undoubtedly kept us as a class from scholastic ruin. Page Eleven THE A EE O I'W OF I Oil Willard enlisted in the ranks of Blake in the middle of his junior year. Two impediments were in his path, however, before he was able to enjoy school life. The first was the amount of study necessary to acquire a passing grade, and the second was the disposal of week-ends. He quickly overcame the first by his indomitable spirit. The latter was soon taken care of also by a sweet young thing from West, and anyone who jokingly cast a hint that she wasn’t so sweet found a forty-four automatic pushed into his ribs along with a demand to “take that back.” And although we do not advise marriage at so early an age, we found that M’sieu A-mi-don was able to skip more special “ Warring'- is a desperate thing.

Incidentally, we wish to tell you that if you see some huge vehicle, a little larger and bulkier than a Mack truck, with every sort of a contraption on it from an icebox to a hammock, do not i e alarmed, for it is only Amy's so-called car. Also, if you hear a certain low mumbling about the evils of education, do not believe you are in the presence of socialists, for it is merely Willard. Amidon is on his way to the University of Minnesota, where he will undoubtedly impress all with his backstroking ability and his glumness. Good luck, Amy. Page Twelve Till: « AM. O' FAX OF iikii Straining harsh discords and an pi casing sharps. Harold Hmorson Alkinson AUy Entered Blake 1927 Minnesota Ally is the self-styled “sly man of the Senior Class. Who would recognize the dishevelled, bewhiskered lad who takes those trips “up north,” for the smooth dancer decorating the floors of the Min-iknhda or Woodhill? Hut Atty’s true claim to fame is his ability to vocalize. Whenever a motion picture featuring Bing Crosby comes to town, the pride of the house of Atkinson is good for at least three performances, sitting with rapt attention. For a few weeks thereafter Mr. Foss might as well give up teaching, for the strains of “Night and Day, mouthed none too softly into a shattered megaphone. are enough to shatter even J. B. s comatose shell. Glotz has lightened the intermission of the plays with the questionable aid of the Blake singing strings, hv his rendition of “Puddenhead Jones” and “How Deep is the Ocean? Moreover, the choir ‘’aniens, marked by a truly Crosbyian sob. are testimonials of the influence of Ally in this organization. Glotz has inspired the swimming and football teams with his presence the past few years, and has gone so far as to commit himself to the statement that he may take up bridge as recreation in the future. And he has the added honor of carrying on the longest of long-distance correspondences in the class. Page Thirteen THE ( ALL O l A. OF IO.TI Big city life has done little to disturb our Shanks. Living somewhere in the vicinity of White Bear, Paul has been called upon every morning to pilot that equipage fondly referred to as the squad car through the dense reaches of suburban Minneapolis in his role as taximan for various members of the Sixth and Seventh forms. Carlberg has been something of a discontented figure since his bosom pal, Gib, left for the big university, yet those brows are not furrowed solely because of his friend’s departure. There was a time when the hardy pioneers, Carlson and Stewart, had ardent hopes of leading their icebox brigade in the proud knowl- Company, villainous company, hath been the spoil of me.

But, alas, when the casualties of Mr. Strickland’s ankle and Winston’s eye were nosed about, that civilized mayhem, politely called basketball, was distinctly frowned upon by our guiding geniuses. So Bubs was forced to accept the bitter pill of public opinion, and lead his doughty blistermen unrecognized against the Hopkins A and M. Having discarded football as hard on one’s knees. Boorg gave himself wholly to the great American game, where he has taken Doc Bradley’s place at third base. As soon as he has fully mastered the art of playing around the third sack, Paul will look for new fields to conquer.

Except for the historic occasion in the second grade when Hunt tied him for scholastic honors. Cleefahd” has been beyond shouting distance of tin? rest of his plodding classmates; yet his disgustingly high grades have been obtained with a minimum of study, and his bland amazement at the difficulties of his fellows have nearly drawn those despairing worthies to pummel him severely about the face and body. Joe’s ability as a public speaker is attested by the number of awards with his name on in the Trophy Boom, and hut for the temporary lapse when his chronological information on the Geneva Arms Conference betrayed him. he has dominated the debating team for the last three years. Back in the first form when he was almost as wide as he was tall Joe entered the choir and steadily progressed until he became president, which position he has held for three years. As “Koko,” the Lord High Executioner of the operetta ‘‘The Mikado.” Joe surpassed all the performances of former Blake yodelcrs. To describe the high stations this young man has held in Dramatics, Publications, Union, Council, et cetera, would become tedious to the reader. Suffice it to say that his activity in extra curricula afTairs led the student body to elect him to the highest position in the school. Head Boy. It is a significant tribute to Joe that his classmates (with the exception of Hunt, who has among other things found fault with the Head Boy’s distinctive combinations in dress! have made his school career an object of their admiration. Pape Fifteen tiii: r. i.L o r of i� :ri Jim popped into our midst with a grimace and other contortions of the face in the fall of 1926. Even then he drove Poppa Wilson almost deaf with his booming voice that would make one’s ears ring for hours afterward. Hut no matter how many spitballs In threw, no matter how nr.reh he whispered, no matter how obnoxious he appeared in general, lie soon became “teacher’s pet.” Perhaps it was that winning smile. Anyway. Jim grew and struggled through the stages of the lower forms until finally he l ecame one of the revered seniors. Jimmy was always a shining light in athletics. Even in the lower school he was a star on all of the teams for which he was eligible, and he was often elected captain of the various coefficient teams. During his junior and senior years he was a three letter man. and if you wonder who was perhaps the “Come not uithin the measure oj my wrath. � laiiMks Smith iillon Jimmy Entered Blnkr P)26 Dartmouth best quarterback that Blake has ever seen, merely ask James, he will tell you. If one was anywhere near the school grounds, one could hear his voice booming out signals. It was under his guidance during the past year that the team enjoyed an undefeated season. If at any time you wish to display your talent as a boxer, just stand outside the door of the senior room and yell “To hell with the Grand Old Party.” It is really a pleasure to hear Jimmy argue with anyone on politics (or anything else!. He even has the venerable southern sage. Meesta Hitt, scratching his head to find answers for some of his statements or perhaps he is merely trying to figure them out. At any rate, Dartmouth is Jimmy’s destination, unless he meets some rabid Democrat on the way down there. Best of luck. Jim. Page Sixteen TIIK CALL O l� A.

(The original sentence was for 20 years, but he was released on good behavior.) Not long ago “Bop bewildered the entire class by appearing at school with a new tennis racket. This indeed was a remarkable action for a member of old “34,” since the seniors of this year are reputed for their penny-pinching propensities. Having been practically raised on a ranch, George is undoubtedly the handi- est horseman in the school on the hill, and is the proud possessor of a filly and colt in Montana. For this reason he Inn attempted on several occasions to inveigle a mixed crowd into going on a riding party. Once he succeeded, and thoroughly astounded Humphrey and the female meinl ers of the party with his handling of a fiery black mount. The choir will not appear the same without the brilliant locks of our Georgie. and Bitty will surely miss his conversational historian and member of the “nucleus.” In future years he will grace the dances at Dartmouth, and may the young ladies there appreciate his presence as the locals have. Page Seventeen Till ; I'A LI, O l AA OF l� . M Bob was so taken with the manly aspect of the 1934 candidates that by the sweat of his brow he made up a whole year's work in one summer solely that he might join us. Imagine his chagrin when his classmates, the ingrates, decided that such industry must have been born of an honest and simple character, and accordingly made him custodian of the shekels, pesos, or what have you. This position of treasurer accounts for the waning of Faig’s popularity, since his diffident “Oh. fellows, about that class present . . . or his more brutal and explicit “Say, Hunt, when are you going to come across? have driven the great and small to beat a hasty retreat. As public speaker Bob has shown a coolness under fire that would befit Joe Clifford.

When he recovered, Bob found Mr. Foss and the gentleman from Exeter on the floor beside him and Mr. Sample had disappeared behind the organ. Needless to say the school was in an uproar. But Faig carried his speech to a successful termination amid thunderous approbation. Captain and goalie of the Hilltopper pucksters, Fagin has interposed his none too delicate anatomy between the goal and murderously swift pucks with a skill and grace that easily reaches the high standard set by former goalies. Bob was also president of the A. A., and managed to conduct his meetings with a minimum of mistakes in parliamentary procedure, despite malicious attempts of other seniors to ruffle his placid composure.

When he went east to swim in Philadelphia, the papers were full of the “Young Lochinvar” who had “come out of the west.” Mere in his own state he so outdistanced his opponents in the back stroke that even when he rammed the palings of the Gustavus pool with his conk and threatened to spread Fletcher brains in various and sundry portions among the spectators, he had time to recover, part his hair, and float to victory. Randolph shares with Johnny Harrison the distinct honor of having l een captain of two Blake teams, each leading the swimming and tennis teams in alternate seasons. Fletch has an assortment of trick ties and collars that are amazing to behold, but it is just this flair for the ultra as well as his undeniable skill in dancing that have made him a blonde menace among the girls. Anyway, as soon as he can convince Mr. Foss that he knows exactly where the Euboeans lived, and why they settled at Cumae. Clark will depart for Dartmouth, w hich is awaiting such a sw immer with open arms. Page Nineteen THE ( ALL O' IMX OF l� :� I “His tanners at the whist club said That he was faultless in his dealing. John pjiIIii|� lljirrison Hurra EntereH Blake 1922 Vale Johnny was one of the pioneers of the class of ’34 who started down in the Junior school with Miss McDonald. His popularity was immediately won when he stated that his father had been the captain of the Minnesota football team. He seemed to be following in the footsteps of his father for he soon established himself as the fastest runner in the class, and one of the best soccer players. When the class “graduated from the Junior school and were for the first time learning the fundamentals of baseball and football. John kept all in awe with his curves in baseball and his sweeping end runs in football. Another field of athletic prowess soon attracted him at the Minneapolis club with the swimming team. Here, watching Teddy Moles and later Figs Atkinson at the breast-stroke, he learned many good pointers. Perhaps it was on this account that at the start of his junior year he was rated as about the best breast-stroker in the Twin Cities. He did so well that he was elected captain for the season of 1933 and 1934. Swimming was not. however, his only specialty, for he was the captain of the tennis team of 1933 and he played end on the football team. Johnny was noted for other things in school life than athletics, and if you wish to learn the correct method of playing bridge, just call Harra up, and he will gladly help you out—one dollar an hour. Besides these achievements. John was in the Union and was Business Manager of the Publications. Here he showed his shrewdness also, for no one but himself was able to read the books. Johnny is planning to grace old Eli with his presence next year. Look after Humphreyt John. Page Twenty TIIK 4 AM. 4� I'AX OF l� :tl Younti fellows will be young fellows. TllOlllilS ll kJM OII Humphrey Tom Entered Blake 1931 Yale When the smoke had cleared away and the wreckage had been swept out after Monday, September 14, 1931, somebody, in passing a dark corner, caught sight of a faint rustle in the shadows accompanied by a bewildered bleat. The sound, strongly reminiscent of the excited huffle of a snail in danger, was found to emanate from a rather awed and somewhat disillusioned southern lad. fresh from the heat-blistered oil fields of Oklahoma, who had been trampled down and thrust aside in the first barbaric rush of those “damn Yankees. ' Since that first terrifying day in the north woods, however, Tom Humphrey, “Gable to his friends and intimates, has adapted himself remarkably to the native customs of the Gopher State, although he still quails at the thought of venturing alone behind the field house for fear of meeting a wandering scalping party. Athletically, he has been prominent as a fancy diver, and scholastically, a shining example of Cleve's pedagogical ability. Outside of an annoying habit of carrying a photograph of his beloved above his heart, and a fatal inclination to pursue itinerant torch-singers, his amours have been completely above board. A prospective Yale man. he will go down in history as the first ever to find the gall to wear a double-breasted vest to Blake.

Willy registered his first official kick at Blake when Miss McDonald bawled him out for dog-earing the pages of his First Year Primer. Although his style of expression has changed a hit for the more brilliant and picturesque, he still retains the coveted title of king of the beefers, having attacked everybody and everything from Mr. Alder’s neckties to Martha's distribution of milk and crackers. In spite of a stolid taciturnity during a recitation period, he has been personally responsible for most of the outraged charges on the senior room by Messrs.

As President .of the Senior Class, his dignity has been often ruffled, but never as much as when he collaborated with the Headmaster in dragging the football dummy up the back stairs. He extra-curriculared in dramatics and the glee club, and is planning to enter Princeton. Y ge Twenty-two THE ( ALL O' PAX OF 1� :M “Eating the bitter bread of banishment.' Kdwards Keeler Steve Entered Blake 1932 Yale When the class of 1934 convened in the fall of 1932, among their number was a certain Stephen Keeler, whose fame as a poet had blazed a trail from Chicago to Minneapolis with an overnight stop in Faribault. Soon his immortal verse and tingling line padded space in the Torch which heretofore—well, the less said the better. About this time someone discovered that this youth was also something of an artist. Advancing further in the realm of artistry than his fellow members of the Publications Board who limit their attempts to caricatures of Alias “Sludge” the Goon on all four walls of the Sanctum Sanctorum of the type and ink men. Steve managed to embellish the cover of the 1933 Call O’ Pan with a fairly accurate drawing of the school on the hill. Incidentally he liked it so well that you can see it on the cover of this one. After the dust had cleared away in the fall of '33, and Joe Clifford had whittled the number of his student activities offices down to somewhere in two digits, little Steve was found holding the hag, commonly known as the Kditor-in-Chief-ship. In the meanwhile he had given up his poetry and was now spending his time telling embryo Winchells why their literary efforts were unfit for publication in a high class rag such as his Torch. Lest one should suppose that Mr. Keeler gave ail his time to immortalizing the Torch (twice a month I let it he said here and now that Stephen has gone to play, been ousted from the Senior cave, and also rendered two very effective performances in the annual Blake Theatricals. As we watch him shed the sweat of his honest brow over the possible advent of a 1934 Call O’ Pan we are sure that Yale will find in our Steve another worthy son. Page Twenty-three Tin: CALL O I'.W OF n� :t i The curtain had fallen on the last art of The Mikado and the gay and fashionable audience of first-nighters had left the vast reaches of the Woman's Club empty save for “Yon” the Scandinavian janitor, who was already busily engaged in collecting chewed programs and surreptitious bits of First Form gum. But wait—a low moan and a suspicious cloud of blue vapor announce the presence of something else. Presently a rather stooping form surmounted by an undersized brown derby slinks across the stage accompanied by two other shadows. It is Walt Kenyon leading his henchmen, Faegre and Winston, in the dire task of removing the scenery. Until 2 A.

At last the begrimed and weary group staggers homeward. Yet this ominous overture does not imply that Mr. Kenyon, property manager extraordinary, is devoted entirely to pursuits building the body of a Sandow. His esthetic interests have led him to study deeply the art of crooning, and to attack savagely all Philistines who persist in claiming that Vallce is better than Bing. For two years Walt has acted as head waiter for first the Lower and then the Upper School, and his strained expression would convince even the most critical that his is a task of the harshest requirements. Reserve center for the foot-hall team and reserve goalie in hockey, Wall is now, shades of Rogers Hornsby, playing-manager or playing manager of the tennis team.

So he barged along with the rest of us through the confusing labyrinth of lower forms, doing the right thing at the right time as a general rule, and doing the wrong thing only often enough to keep in touch with the authorities.

Welles Norton Pierson Goon Entered Blake 1920 Minnesota Nimrod of the North, Wellesy lias been shuffling intermittently through the Blake halls of higher learning as long as this bleared brain can remember. When he isn't bellowing imprecations at the opposing guard, and entreating his teammates in forceful terms to “smear dese violets,” Sludge is engaged in plaguing our own Southern Sage. {In fact, the only time Welles ever lost a decision in verbal contact with Mr. Bittinger was when the explanation of just how “despots’ got to lie “enlightened” proved too much for even the Piersonian brain, which allowed itself to slip into the arms of Morpheus.) Ever since this mortifying experience, Welles has tried unsuccessfully to lure Mr. Bill into one of those hunting cam- paigns “up North,” where he might be dealt with as man to man. Behemoth of the Bath, the Goon could always be counted upon to give the spectators their money’s worth in the 220. Thrashing, splashing, wheezing, and puffing he would navigate the distance after a terrific battle; and, if defeated, woe is me! Inoffensive chairs fell like kindling wood before this prancing fury. It once took Mr. Bosanko and half of the spectators to cool his playful demonstrations. In deference to Welles' modesty, we refrain from anything more than mentioning his subtle portrayal of the fiendish “Harli,” but in passing we beg of him to retain that boyish spontaneity despite the evil influence of Atkinson. Page Tu enty-seven Till-: ( AM. «• l A. OF IO.T I Even Hunt, if asked, would grudgingly admit that Ted studies as much as half the senior class combined. Pages of Latin vocabulary delivered by this lad in a monotone have interrupted more than one of the Special Help discussions on Wine, Women, and What is Wrong with Blake. This avid student has been known to forego bridge games to memorize the biography of Blaine, and when he staggers down that hall with glazed eyes it’s a lossup whether he is reciting Hamlet or Physics formulae.

The wrathful figure of Mr. Kinger fairly bristled indignation, and Jim retreated ignomini-ously. The high spot of Ted’s three year career on the swimming team was his capture of first place in the breaststroke this year at the state meet. For two years he has been a member of the golf team, tramping the greens of The Country Club and Minikahda under the tutelage of Mr. Glenn.

With this ever in mind the Association held its fall meeting at the Junior School, and after hearing the reports of the various officers and standing committees the program for the year was outlined and discussed. At this meeting the association voted to appropriate $100 from its treasury to perpetuate the Wilson Cup. A Scholarship fund has long been the cherished wish of Mr. Alder, who for years has realized that certain hoys whose future in the School was bright, have because of changes in the family’s finances, found it necessary to leave Blake. This has often been a severe blow to the hoy who has made happy associations and whose scholastic future might depend upon the continuation of his studies along the lines of his years in Blake. With this in mind, Mr. Alder has hoped that a fund would he established to meet such a situation, so that in carefully selected cases fees could he furnished or long time loans granted to tide a hoy over a period of financial stringency. The Mother's Association is bending every effort to establish a scholarship fund and hope that through their endeavors a sufficient amount will he set aside to assist Mr. Alder in this much needed and laudable cause. This year an innovation was made in having the annual dinner held jointly with the Northrop Association. On Wednesday evening, April eleventh the two associations, the faculties and their wives and the invited guests met at dinner at the Minikahda club. In every way the dinner was a success.

The latter had inaugurated many new reforms, and had adopted a strong constitution and it was the duty of the incumbents to give these policies a forceful administration. The personnel consisted entirely of experienced councillors with the exception of the Fourth Form representative, Anderson, who had never before served in an official capacity. Roddy Bruce was elected in the fall to fill the vacancy made by Piper’s departure for an Eastern school. It became apparent from the confusion in September that the point system was far from satisfactory. I he Council took the matter in hand and after due deliberation brought forward a suggested change. The proposal was debated in a Faculty-Council meeting and was unanimously accepted without reservations. The new plan provided for a major-minor ranking of offices in place of the numerical rating, and also moved 'Pap Day to May 20 so that school organizations can hold their elections in the order of their ranking. In addition to this important work, the Council handled a number of minor school matters and carried out its regular obligations as to Founders’ Day exercises, dances, Monday morning chapel services, and the “B” book editing.

Although some doubt was expressed as to the advisability of such a measure, it has proved to he the most beneficial part of the Union's program. Notwithstanding the difficulty some of the hoys have encountered in moulding an intelligible and presentable message in the few minutes allotted them, their efforts have been productive of original theories and experiences. It is now (piite certain that this policy will he continued for some time to come. Each gathering was opened by a business meeting. At the end of this the name of the extemporaneous speaker was drawn from a hat. A prepared speech was then delivered, followed by a talk by the member whose name had been chosen. At each meeting some member of the faculty was invited to attend and give an informal talk. A discussion invariably ensued on some matter of general interest. The benefit derived from the Union is almost entirely centered on the members themselves, although it does have some definite influence on the school. Matters concerning the school are discussed frequently, and often valuable opinions and ideas are obtained.

Much credit is due to Mr. Sample and Miss Cotton, director of music at Northrop, for their ceaseless work to put over this operetta. Besides the operetta, the two clubs sang at a combined Blake-Northrop F. T. A. meeting and the Blake Club wound up its year by a Vesper Service in Chapel the Sunday before Commencement. The Blake Orchestra assisted at the Blake plays this season and was aided by popular songs by Harold (“Bing’ ) Atkinson. Tin: CALL O' l A.X OF i� :� I S|M‘akin i Keeping in stride with the pace set by Mr. Slater last year, Blake Public Speaking is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable assets of the school. Since every member of the sixth and seventh form has to speak at least once each year before the school assembled in chapel, his ability to stand on his feet and address any sort of gathering is greatly helped. Technique in composition and delivery is developed at the weekly meetings of the upper forms, conducted by Mr. Alder. Lower School Public Speaking is conducted by Mr. Coulter. Joseph Clifford was awarded the Thorpe Cup this year for his speech on “The Early Explorers of Minnesota. Arthur Smith took second place with “The Sibley House.’ The judges of this annual extemporaneous contest were: Dr. Henry R. Rottschaefer, Mr. Arthur E. Larkin, and Dr. Charles B. Wright. Under the new rules made last year each entrant was given a subject which has some bearing on the State of Minnesota forty minutes before the contest and had the forty minutes to prepare their speeches, using for reference the material gathered by the librarian for that purpose. At the Union meetings this year, the same plan was followed that was adopted last year, that is, at each meeting there be one prepared and one impromptu talk. Feeling that the debating procedure used in the past years in the annual debates between Blake and St. Paul Academy was growing more and more unsuitable, representatives of the two schools met and drew up the following plan: That the question for debate be determined by representatives of the two schools in a joint conference. That each school select an affirmative and negative team, and on the day of the debate two members of the Blake affirmative team meet with two members of the SPA affirmative group to form one team, and the same way with the negative. That the debate will be held at Blake one year and at St. Paul Academy the next as was the custom. The effects of this plan were pleasing. The most noticeable result was that now both sides had a chance to study the other side of the question and to perfect their work by intraschool debates. It also gave the school a chance to debate other schools. Page Fifty-one Till: 4 AM. O’ PAX OF i«� :m The subject chosen for the debate was the same one that was debated by most of the high schools in the United States, resolved, “That the United States adopt the British System of Badio Control and Operation. The turnout for the first practice was exceptionally large, but before long Coaches Bittinger and Cleveland had picked the best of the candidates and practice was begun in earnest. When the day of the debate came, the following were on the teams: Negative, Joe Clifford and Seymour Heymann; affirmative. Jack Winston and Ted Ringer, with Jim Hill as alternate. The debaters talked before an almost entirely filled chapel and the session was presided over by Dr. Bryn-Jones. After the debate the audience was requested to ask questions pertaining to the subject of the debate, addressing them to the chairman who would call for an answer from one or the other of the two sides. After about an hour of this questioning, the decision was put to a popular vote and the negative won this decision. During the season the team also held debates with the Roosevelt High School team and a team from the University High School.

His place was filled by Keeler and the rest of the Board with few exceptions was composed of those who if they lacked experience made up for it with enthusiasm. The plan was to continue with the idea of the preceding year. That is, to put out a four-page newspaper at two-week intervals whenever this was practical. A special Founders’ Day issue was printed with a number of cuts on the front page. Since then a number of issues have come out, improving technically, if not in the style of contents. The greatest trouble has been in typographical errors but the number of these noticeably decreased as the Board gained experience. We have tried to have a Call 0 Pan that approached the excellence of last year’s. The newly formed Camera Club has been instrumental in taking and developing the group and subdivision pictures. The trend in year books seems to be to rely more and more on photographs and do away with useless writing. Altogether, we can safely say that we have had a successful year. We have done our best to put out a readable Torch and an interesting Call O' Pan. We wish to thank Mr. Cleveland for his advice and the student body for their support in the advertising campaign.

Its object is the encouragement and reward of high attainment on the part of 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 who stand in the upper fifth of the class are elected to the chapter. HONORARY MEMBERS Charles C. Bovey Franklin M.

The Athletic Association, in other words the entire school, no longer votes to accept lettermen. This policy seems to us to he a very logical and a. very acceptable way to deal with that really delicate matter. It has been a great boon to all concerned, and by it hard feelings and embarrassment will be avoided. At the outset of the year, golf, due to the clamoring of the golf team and its friends, was accepted by an overwhelming vote of the Association as a minor sport, with no money allotted. This year the Board recommended that gold footballs be awarded to the members of the football team as a reward for their undefeated season. The Association passed this almost unanimously, and the Dramatic Association generously agreed to finance the project. Another new policy was inaugurated this year. As it stands now, the Association as a whole cannot suggest a man for manager of any team. The lettermen make recommendations, which are brought to the Board and then to the Association, which votes on the name. In case the man is not accepted, the lettermen suggest another name to be voted on in the same way.

When the game came to a close with Blake leading 33-0, it was felt that her chances for a fine season were piite good. The second game was played against De La Salle, and Blake won 13-0. A few days later an informal game was played against the Blake Alumni team. The first team scored twice hut was unahle to overcome the grads, who scored three touchdowns, and the game ended with the grads leading 19-14. St. Paul Johnson was the next rival. On a series of plunges by Welch. Woodhull and Miller the hall was advanced to a point from which Cullen could easily score. For the second touchdown Winston leaped far into the air to catch a pass from Cullen, 'fhe game ended at 13-0. Faegre, Atkinson and Pierson proved to be the strong point in the Blake line during the Shattuck game. Play after play was driven over them with Woodrich doing most of the hall carrying. Woodhull scored on a 20-yard run in the first period. The extra point was made, and Blake was ahead 7-6 at the end of the first half, after Shattuck had tallied on a series of pass plays. In the third period Miller scored on a long run, and after this Blake went on the defensive and held till the game was over, with Blake coming out on top by 13-6. The Brown and White decisively defeated a rather weak Pillsbury Academy team by the score of 28-7. A combination lateral pass, Cullen to Woodhull, on a punt return, was the feature of the contest, and Welch got off to a nice run of 35 yards. All year long Mike had his team pointing towards the S. P. A. game. It had been reported that they had a weak team, and it was feared that the Hilltoppers might become overconfident. 'file cadets rammed large holes in the Blake defense, and a march of 30 yards was completed before they could be stopped. Throughout the entire first half the two teams struggled up and down the field, neither being able to score. After the rest period the team came out ready to do or die. The second half of the game was all in the favor of Blake. Blake scored once following beautiful runs by Miller and Wood-hull. The second score of the game was indeed a queer one. Bruce broke through and grabbed the ball from the hands of the S. P. A. passer, and then raced 60 yards down the field for a touchdown. This contest also ended w ith the score at 13-0. This ended a perfect season. Gold footballs were awarded to the team Page Fifty-nine Till] TALL O IMA OF hy the Dramatic Association, which also sponsored the trip to Pillsbury, and all of the team’s followers agreed that no team could he more deserving of these medals. Let the season itself speak for the results of Mike’s hard and conscientious work. Under Mr. Owen the second team won its only game against Washburn, and offered the first team real opposition in all scrimmages. The fruits of the labor of this aggregation will best be felt in the years to come, when these players will become the varsity.

The high spot in the first game was a beautifully executed pass play. Rufus Jefferson took the ball from the center, dropped back slowly and tossed a long pass of 35 yards to Wingman Stuart Rider, who galloped across the goal line without being touched by a cadet. Blake was victorious 18-6. The second game found a confident Blake aggregation taking the field against the determined cadets, and the game that resulted was indeed a close one. Blake, with Jefferson out of the lineup, was forced to shift Captain West to fullback, and he filled the position brilliantly. After battling for Page Sixly CALL O IMX OF Ifl.TT three periods, Blake scored and was aide to keep the lead of 6-0 until the final whistle. The team was composed of West, Rider, Wyer, Mills, Jones, Anderson, A., R. Brooks, Luther, G. Gifford, Bean, Carpenter, Jefferson, and Palm, manager. Once again the “B” team under Mr. Strickland came forth with an extremely strong combination. Although both games were tough and well played by both teams, Blake proved stronger than S. P. A. each time. Thoroughly rounded out in all of the fundamentals of the game, the young members of the team did Blake proud, 'fhe scores of 13-6 and 7-1 show how evenly the teams were matched, and they also show that the Brown and White team had enough extra power to win even when the going was tough. Those who received letters were Youngquist, Noonan, Wells, Wyman, Waters, Peddie, Thompson, Martin, Moore, Lucker, Von Kuster, Swanson, Bowman, and Jones, manager. Mr. Bittinger's “C” team was not quite as fortunate as the other coefficient teams. In the first place, the S. P. A. team was one of the strongest which was ever placed on the gridiron. Our hoys trained and practiced hard all fall down in “death valley,” hut when the first important game came along were met by a team which was just a little too strong. Although our Brown and bite eleven was defeated 14-6 in the first game and 6-0 in the last one, it certainly showed a lot of the characteristic Blake “fight.” This team, although it was outclassed a little, would not admit to defeat until the last minute of the game was over. All onlookers at both games were impressed with the remarkable spirit exhibited by our team. We regret to announce that so fine a team as this was not awarded letters because it did not win one of its games, for no other team deserved them more. The squad of the “C” team was comprised of Burton, Rott-schaefer, J. Doerr, Harland, Hill, Huff, Kingman, McMillan, J. Morrison, D. Pierson, J. Burton, Confer, Duff, Dunn, G. Flannery, Isaacs, Lyman, W. McCartney, Mokros, Plank, Sheldon, and W.-Doerr, manager. Page Sixty-one s captain of an undefeated team Jack has our congratulation .

OF IO.U THE ( ALL O' l OF lO.'M I lit M‘ha 11 With last year’s lettermen as a nucleus, the baseball team of 1934 is being built. Those men, Winston, Bruce, Miller, Pence, Woodrich, and Captain Woodhull seem to be reasonably sure of retaining their positions of last year, although Pence has to be on his toes every minute to keep ahead of Dick Dobson, who is learning fast. Other new men who are making strong bids for regular berths are Wells, Carlson, John Dobson, John Atwood, and McCartney. Thus far this year the team has had a very bad break with the weather. I think that at the present writing there have been but three or four days of really good baseball weather. Most of the days have been cloudy and cold, and all spring there has been a high wind, which brings with it the dust from the dry fields of western Minnesota and the Dakotas. It is not the easiest thing in the world to play baseball with your eyes full of dust. We all hope for a turn for the better as regards playing conditions. The opening game of the season was played on our own field, on Friday afternoon, April the 20th, with St. Thomas as the first opponent. It was a cold, dreary, and windy afternoon, a bad day for baseball, and as a result the game was called at the end of the fifth inning. Unfortunately for Blake, the team did not find its batting eye until the last inning, when a spirited rally failed by one run to tie the score. The game ended in a victory for St. Thomas. After a bad first inning, McCartney settled down, and from that time on gave a rather good account of himself. McCartney is still young, and the experience that he is getting this year cannot help but stand him in good stead in years to come. fhe second game of the year was played with Harding High School, on Harding’s field, on Wednesday, April 25th, and again Blake came out the loser. However, the fact that the team has lost the first two games is no cause for discouragement. It must be remembered that the majority of the members of the team are playing their first year of varsity baseball. It is only natural that they take some time to get adjusted. The batting, which has been rather weak up to this time, will iron itself out, and become stronger. A “green team is always slow in starting, but it is sure to improve fast. This is certainly no time to become discouraged. T h e season is still young. The first requisite that a man must have in order to he a good coach in any branch of athletics, is the friendship, respect, and trust of his players. Page Sixty-seven THE CALL O PAX OF 1034 “Mike certainly lias all these. And lie has those other qualities that are so necessary: patience, an understanding of hoys, true fellowship and real sportsmanship. Mike’s influence is infinite. Also, too much credit cannot he given to Shube Owen, and especially to Wy Ford. Wy comes out from town every afternoon to help coach the team, and his services to the pitching staff are invaluable. He was, himself, one of the greatest pitchers that Blake ever had, and has had unlimited experience, so he is well qualified to coach in that department.

Blake emerged victorious 6-0 in a game which was not particularly well played. The first game of any importance was to he with Cretin. However, the ice was poor and the resulting score of 1-1 indicated nothing but an afternoon of futile slashing about on slushy ice. During the next few weeks the Brown and White team played several more games and won all of them. After the schedule had gotten well under way, the team went over to S. P. A. for its first game with its hitter rival. The game was successful from the standpoint of the score, hut the brand of hockey displayed satisfied neither the coach nor the players. Blake won 2-1. About two weeks later the cadets were encountered again. The game took place at the Arena and found the Blake team obviously “off their game. Blake should have taken the weaker Saint Paul team, hut failed to hit its stride until late in the game, which ended with the score 1-1. Since S. P. A. refused to play the optional overtime periods, the tie had to he accepted. The Shattuck game was the final highlight in the season. Two weeks prior to the contest the Blake sextet began to practice a style of play which Page Seventy THE ( ALL O PAX OF I9.T I was designed to stop the Shattuck team. This system was used in the second Cretin game very successfully, as Blake smothered its opponents. The Shattuck game was from every angle the most interesting game of the season. The game was played at the Arena before one of the largest crowds in the history of Blake hockey. Both teams had had successful seasons, both had been pointing toward this encounter a long time. Early in the first period Lauritzen’s goal put Blake ahead. Later in the same period Woodhull executed a beautiful shot from the side of the goal for the second tally. Banty Coulter's well devised plan was working beautifully. The first forward line was playing airtight defensive hockey, and Cullen or Woodrich, who dropped hack from time to time, stopped the consistent threats of the Redmen. The second line was working together better than it had all season and peppered the Shattuck goalie continually. Shattuck’s entire strength was in one man, Bitter. Ihe invaders' most powerful weapon was his devastating shot, hut Faegre skillfully stopped each attempt to score. In the second period Blake continued to dominate the play, hut only one goal was scored. This was by Miller of Blake. In the third period the entire squad was given a taste of play. The seniors, especially those who had not seen much service in the previous games, were in action most of the time. When the game was nearing an end, Woodhull added another score to cinch the victory even more certainly. With this game ended one of Blake's most successful seasons. As is usually the case with a really line team, no one man stood out above the others. The first forward line played a more or less defensive game most of the season. This line consisted of Woodrich, Woodhull and Cullen. They were all seniors and seasoned players. The second line had some trouble in getting started, and their team work was slow in developing. Nevertheless, it turned out to he a strong scoring combination later on. Wells, Lauritzen, Burton, and Miller formed this line. Miller recovering from a wrist injury in time to play in several of the last games. Bruce and Dick Dobson, with Larkin as alternate, filled the defense positions very creditably. This was indeed one of the strongest departments of the team, and should continue next year, as all will return. Again to Banty Coulter goes the well-deserved credit for the undefeated season. His fine coaching, which is becoming noted more and more in academy and college circles, is largely responsible for the success of this team. The boys responded to his training remarkably well, and those who are graduating are well qualified to continue this sport at college.

Those lost were with teams of college standing, such as the University and Gustavus Adolphus. About a week after practice had started the squad met Edison High, which was handily defeated 56-19. A week later a similar trouncing was handed to Humholdt High of St. Paul. During the Christmas holidays the team was defeated hy the gratis, hut a week or so after vacation the Blake team turned and defeated the Roosevelt team hy a score of 50-25.

The next week Blake turned hack the invading U High team hy a 49-26 score. On February 2 the squad went over to the University to swim the varsity, the runners-up in last year's Big Ten meet. Blake was defeated 51 to 24. In this meet Clark Fletcher, Captain of the 1933 team, established a new school record in the 100-yard hack-stroke, swimming his event in 1:05.6. Also the medley-relay team missed the record set last year hy less than a second. Returning to the Minneapolis Club pool, Fletcher set a new record for the school in the 220 with a time of 2:29, as the Blake team overcame St. Paul Central. Three days later the Minneapolis Y. M. C. A. vanquished the Brown and White splash team in a Page SevenlY'lwo THE CALL O l� A- OF l� . � I closely contested meet which was not decided until the final event had been completed. The score ended at 45-30. About a week later the team was once again handed a defeat at the hands of the Gusties, this time by a score of 41-34. At the conclusion of this contest the Hilltoppers presented the three Gabrielson brothers from Gustavus with a cup, showing their respect for the fine tank work of these brothers. Then came one of the most exciting meets of the season. Swimming in the University pool, Blake handed a highly touted West team its only heating of the season in a close meet which ended with Blake on the long end of the 42-33 score. The most thrilling event was the 40-yard dash, which, it was thought, won hi settle the outcome of the meet, Fletcher and Welsh made Blake history by snatching first and second respectively. Between the contests with West and the Shads, Blake defeated South 58-17. Then on February 24 the Shattuck team arrived, fully expecting a victory. When the splashing had ceased and the pool became calm, Blakesters found out several things. Arthur and Ringer were largely responsible for a Brown and White victory, each winning a second in the 220 and breaststroke respectively. A single point was the margin of the win. the count ending at 38-37. Between meets “Flutch went down to the Interscholastic meet and failed to qualify because of one faulty turn in a strange pool. To end up the season, Blake defeated Rochester and won the invitational meet given by the Gusties for the high schools. Blake men won a majority of the first places in another invitation meet held at the Thus while Blake lost several contests it showed considerable power by whipping three of the state’s best aggregations: West, Shattuck, and Rochester. In addition to this they captured first place in an invitation meet. This year’s team was greatly handicapped in the dash events by the loss of Heskett and Dayton, but several new men took their places and showed much promise. These men winning their letters for the first time were Amidon, Heskett, Mills and V aughan. Jack Harrison proved to be a splendid captain, working hard to set an example for his team-mates. Fletcher, Blake's star in more than one event, was awarded the Guy Thomas Trophy. Although a large part of this year's team will be lost through graduation, the 1935 team should be strong if it works as hard as its captain, Jerry Newhouse. Also with the experienced and valuable coaching of Johnny Hartman, and the tireless effort of Mr. Bosanko, the team should be as strong as former ones. Pa e Severity-three Tin: tall n rw of i� :m Mr. Cleveland Harrison Fletcher Humphrey Kenyon Burton, G. Wyer Rider Tennis WITU all of lasl year's men, and several new ones oul for tennis, the outlook for this season is indeed bright. Under the leadership of Captain Fletcher, the team has already won its first two matches against Concordia and De La Salle, and looks forward confidently to the rest of its schedule. This year Mr. Cleveland, the coach, is using four singles and three doubles teams, instead of the usual three singles and two doubles. To select the players a peg tournament has been instituted, the four highest ranking men playing the singles. At the date of writing, Harrison, last year's captain. Burton, Rider, and Wyer are playing in the singles, but they are being hard pressed by many of those who play in the doubles, in- cluding Fletcher, Humphrey, Leslie, Smith, and Doerr. Due to the constant changing in the peg tournament, however, it is impossible to predict the definite members of the team. Although there were not quite so many men out for the team this year as there were last, there has been plenty of material to choose from. A fine schedule has been filled out by Manager Kenyon, and is just nicely started now. Meets have been scheduled with such schools as St. Thomas, Concordia, De La Salle, Saint Paul Academy, and Shattuck. Blake has never defeated Shattuck in this sport, but once again the team is determined to take a shot at it, and it is granted that the Hilltoppers stand a pretty fair chance this season.

The team has defeated St. Louis Park, 7-5, and St. Thomas, 11 to V'l- These are the only matches which have been played thus far, but the schedule includes another match with both St. Louis Park and St. Thomas, two with Kenyon High School, and one each with Wayzata and De La Salle. The team is headed by Henry Flannery, who rarely shoots over 85, and who is improving steadily, and Noonan, Lauritzen, and Ringer comprise the rest of the team. The team is very fortunate in hav-ing access to the fine Minikahda Club course. The arrangement which prevails enables any boy in the upper school who wishes to play golf to use the course every day except Saturdays. It is to be hoped that the Blake-sters will not prove bothersome to the members of the club, in order that the system now in use may also be taken advantage of in the future. Page Seventy-five THE CALL O’ PAX OF 1034 Christmas llanro 1 he success of the Christmas Dance —held on Friday, December 15— was due to the efforts of Joe Clifford and Jack Winston. The music of Howard Borgeson and his Isle of Dreams orchestra was admirably suited to the size of the Library and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the dancers. Because Spring As is the custom at Blake, once a year the council-members of the Junior class are allowed to put on one of the two annual dances, and this year they did a very commendable job on the Spring Dance, which took place on Friday evening, April 20. The weather man didn't seem to agree that this should be a spring ball, however, for he rendered the landscape a covering of snow which just didn't go with the time of year. Aside from the weather conditions the dance was a success. of the H. B. on the music stands, the boys were playfully dubbed the “Hot Babies by Mr. Alder. The party was generally conceded to have gone off very well, especially by the committee, who came out several dollars ahead. Danes much to the satisfaction of Ralph Bruce and Rowley Miller, who are the aforementioned council members. Also a customary procedure is that of inviting the third form to one of the dances. This innovation, although it put the dance on its feet financially with plenty to spare, made the stag population about thrice as large as the number of those so considerate as to bring girls. We danced to the dulcet strains of Hal MacIntyre’s orchestra. 'luiiior-Sonior Prom I HE Junior-Senior Prom was held on Friday, June 9, at the Woodhill Club where these social affairs have been given for the past several years. The dance started around 9:30, after several small dinners. Dancing was accompanied by Matt Long and his Trianon Ballroom orchestra. At the door the girls received identification brace- lets with the Blake seal on them and each Senior was presented with a gardenia for his lapel. At one the dance was officially over and those present retired to wherever they do retire after such affairs. The committee were highly praised for their management of the dance.
