THE CAM. 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.
