The Call O' Pan of 7935 “A man who could make so vile a pun would not scruple to pick a pocket.” My Entered Blake 19 2 Harvard Edwin Shedd Ei.well, Jr. Far and away the worst punster in the class, Inky could produce examples of the lowest form of wit on no provocation whatsoever. However, he went a long way toward living down his reputation by serving as a very efficient manager for this year’s football squad. Those who know him realize that he is well equipped for such a position. His knowledge of rules and regulations and world records, etc., in almost every s|x rt is remarkable. In the operetta, Ed served as a member of the policemen’s chorus. His hobby is photography, and it is rumored that he has spent enjoyable evenings with Bob Mirick snapping flashlight pictures on moonlight nights around Lake Harriet. Equipped with every kind of signaling device from a church bell to a fog horn, his Plymouth can be the noisiest car on the campus. Last summer he took a trip cast to look over the colleges; he went through Harvard and thither he is bound. May the Cambridge lads bear his puns with equanimity. PACE EIGHTEEN

“From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. Pres Entered Blake 1924 Princeton Preston King Covey The Mirth King of the Class of 1935 entered our ill-fated group hack in the Junior School and has managed to see the humorous side of every teacher, custom, and event since. As head stage hand for the Dramatics last year, he waited with his fellow workers till about 2:00 A. M. the night after the plays for a truck which had to come from Duluth. Last year he made his letter as guard for the gridders and this year, he managed the baseball team. He was a common waiter for two years and this year, he headed that merry group of Upper School waiters and managed to get out of all of his scrapes with Martha by his honeyed words and disarming smile. Although quite a vocalist himself, he lent physical strength to the operetta this year by “stage-handling. When Brother Wilkes isn’t home, Pres, somewhat to the dismay of White, seemed always to hold the inner track on Newton Avenue. Princeton is Prcs’s choice. May he live and laugh. PAGE SEVENTEEN

The Call O' Pan of 1935 “Lightly from fair to fair he flew, and loved to plead, lament, and sue.” Iiulge Entered Blake 1928 Dartmouth Henry Bf.ebe Flannery Golfer and heart-breaker extraordinary, Hank Flannery is one of the foremost exponents of minor sports in the school and is really sincere in his convictions. One of the Southern Sages “strong points,” Judge has had many a verbal tussle with the history prexy and usually lights to a draw. As a golfer, he has captained a very successful links squad for its first two years as a recognized minor sport and it is largely through his efforts and ability that golf has a place on the Blake calendar. The Judge has done his part in the presentations of the Blake Dramatic Association for the past two years, both times taking heavy parts. Well-grcxmied from hair to shoes, Hank is a real Lothario. Just as you begin to believe that he is nicely settled, he ups and is oil again, allowing no one girl to anchor him for any length of time. He is joining the Blake colony at Dartmouth and all we can say is “Fore.” P AC.I NINETEEN
