He was a graduate of De Pauw University in 1873, and had spent many years in teaching before coming to Minneapolis. When he arrived here, he was moved by many requests to start a private school for boys, and on September 20, 1907, in a private residence at 200 Ridgewood Avenue, the Torch first began to burn. For four years under Mr. Blake's leadership, the school grew slowly. However, in 1911, feeling that the responsibility entailed in the school's management was becoming too much for one of his advanced years, he resigned his position as Headmaster. Several Minneapolis men had by this time become interested in the prospect of Blake being made into a preparatory school for eastern universities. Led by Mr. Charles C. Bovey, this group decided to incorporate the school under a board of fifteen trustees. The corporation then gave Mr. Blake a position in the new school, raised a guarantee fund for a new building, and obtained Mr. C. B. Newton as Headmaster. Mr. Newton was a graduate of Princeton, and before coming to Blake had taught at Lawrenceville and at Germantown Academy. These changes caused an increase in attendance that forced a shift in location to 1803 Hennepin Avenue. Here football, basketball, and baseball teams were organized. In March of 1912 the first inter-school debate with St. Paul Academy was held, and Blake emerged victorious. The trustees then decided to adopt the country day school idea for Blake. A suitable site between the Interlachen Club and Hopkins was secured, and work was begun at once. In the fall of 1912 the students in the high-school grades began work in the new building, while the younger boys remained at 1803 Hennepin. Mr. Noah Foss, who has now finished twenty years of faithful service at Blake, came to us in this year. Nineteen-twelve also saw the changing of the school colors from blue and gold to brown and white, and the holding of the first Founders' Day celebration. The Union and the Student Council had their inception in 1914. The Union had much the same aim as it has today, but the Council was more of a disciplinary body than it is at present. The Junior School was moved to 22nd and Colfax in 1915. It had Mr. L. M. Wilson as its principal, and Miss Mary McDonald, Miss Anna Barbour, and Mr. H. A. Westmark were among the 21 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN teachers there. The first issue of the Torch was printed in 1916, and with the United States in imminent danger of being drawn into the World War, military training under the supervision of Mike Horne was begun. A Boy Scout troop under the leadership of J. C. Sanderson was also organized. Mr. Charles Lamb joined us in 1917. With many years of hard work and fine accomplishments behind him, Mr. Newton resigned as Headmaster in 1919. His position was capably filled, however, by Mr. R. B. Johnson, and in the next year, Mr. Prescott Cleveland came to the school. In 1926, when Mr. Johnson withdrew from the position of Headmaster, Mr. Eugene C. Alder joined us. Too much cannot be said for the improvements Mr. Alder has made in Blake. He has increased the school's good standing in Minneapolis, has bettered relations with other schools, and has supervised all of Blake's affairs with remarkable ability and foresight. This is the history of Blake's twenty-nine years of life. We, her present students, who are benefiting from what years of toil, hardship, and kindness have attained, can only thank those who have made this possible: Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Gale, who had the Gale Drive constructed for us; Mr. C. C. Bovey, through whose generosity our present Chapel was made possible; Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Crosby, who refurnished our Library so beautifully; and in fact, all who have added in any measure to the school. Then, too, let us not forget the masters and pupils who, for twenty-nine years, have worked to give Blake the standing that it has today among the country day schools of the United States. To all these we are indebted, and it is our intention to prove that their efforts have not been in vain. 22 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN WILLIAM JAMES GLENN FOR three years Mr. Glenn has been a most helpful advisor to the class of 1936. Devoting considerable time and interest to the affairs of the class and of the individuals, he has aided us immeasurably through his welcome encouragement and careful guidance. Not only has he closely watched our scholastic and extra-curricular activities, but he has also given valuable advice to the Seniors in the selection of colleges and in the problems we will face during the next four years. Any member of the class felt perfectly at ease to consult Mr. Glenn on his particular difficulty and without fail gained the desired solution and inspiration. The graduating class of 1936 takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Glenn for his friendly interest and understanding advice so unselfishly rendered during the past three years. 23 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Spencer, Mills, Rider, Palm, Massie, Campbell. Second Row: Wells, Lauritzen, Dobson, J., Wyer, Douglas. McCartney, Dayton. Third Row: King, Jones, Bovey, Brooks, Dobson, R., Castle. Back Row: Heskett, West, Fahr, Luther, Mr. Glenn. CLASS HISTORY EARLY in September, 1924, lour perplexed little chaps, who were destined to spend the full twelve years at Blake, met in Miss MacDonald's room on the opening of school. These four were Frank Bovey, Dick Dobson, Bruce Dayton, and Richard King. In the third grade another permanent member of the class, Walter Mills, joined this group. At the start of our last year in the Junior School we discovered that a red-haired small boy named Stuart Rider, and someone else known as John Lauritzen were among our number, and in the fall of 1929 these seven boys entered the First Form of Senior Blake. When we had become accustomed to the bewildering surroundings of the big school, we found that our number had been swelled by the addition of nine new members to the class. These were Bob Brooks, Philip Douglas, Sam Fahr, David Heskett, David Jones, Hamilton Luther, Jim McCartney, Sonny West, and Jim Jennings. We were very well represented on the C team as well as in other sports this first year, and Sam Fahr led the class in scholarship, as he has every succeeding year, although closely followed by Heskett, Bovey and several others. The second year in Senior Blake was especially noteworthy, due to the coming of Warren Palm, who may be destined to do big things in the business world and who has shown his ability along this line during his years at Blake. 24 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN That year Heskett got his letter on the A team and many members of the class received letters on the other coefficient teams. Palm participated in the Operetta. We enjoyed another successful year in the third form, and we were joined by Ralph Wyer and Ralph Campbell. The minstrel show that year included Lauritzen and Palm. The next year, having definitely arrived in the Upper School, we elected David Heskett as our first Council member, a position which he has held consistently until this year when he became Head Boy. Heskett received his varsity letter, and the A team was composed largely of boys from our form. Several also went out for baseball, tennis, and golf. Jones, Palm, and Lauritzen took part in the operetta. In the Fifth Form Fahr and Heskett won varsity letters and many others got letters on the A team. Dick Dobson received a letter in Hockey, as did Mills and Heskett in Swimming. We were well represented in other sports and Luther, Rider, Wyer, Palm, Lauritzen, and Massie were in Dramatics; while Palm, Jones, Lauritzen, and Brooks were in the Glee Club. During the next two years the Class of '36 was represented in all school activities. John Dobson and Todd Wells joined us in the Sixth Form. As Juniors we had Dick Dobson as well as Heskett on the Council, and John Dobson became the third representative as we entered the Senior Class. In the Sixth Form the first of the Duluth boys, one Mac Castle, arrived, to be followed the next year by George Spencer. We feel that during our years at Blake we have been a very versatile group. Ever since our first years in the upper school we have had our scholars, athletes in all sports, speakers, scientists, musicians, and newspapermen. Palm has held every managership in the school at one time or another. The football team will miss Heskett who, among other duties, was captain this year, and the boys at Minneapolis Club pool will long remember Captain Mill's fine diving. In baseball Captain McCartney has proved to be an able pitcher and is well supported by other member of the class. Over at Mini-kahda John Lauritzen has for several years been the backbone of the Golf team, as well as distinguishing himself on the rinks in the winter months. Scholastically speaking, Fahr, Bovey, Luther. West, Heskett. and Campbell have been elected to Cum Laude. West and Bovey spoke in the debate, and members of the class have taken part in every school activity. 25 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1929 Buvey Harvard Cum Laude Oi science and logic he chatters. DURING his five years at the Junior School, Frank stood as a shining example of the perfect student. With his entrance to Senior Blake he maintained his splendid record of scholarship. Buvey is noted for his fluent English and knowledge of the sciences. However, his mechanical skill has been somewhat doubted by his fellow classmates since Frank stated that in his car summer thick oil withstood freezing better than thin oil in winter. The result of Frank's use of heavy oil in his Olds was that on several occasions a tow-truck from Hopkins was called to move the frozen car last winter. As long as anyone can remember Frank and R King have been constant buddies. Usually retiring this pair could be seen most every recess watching with amusement the antics of the Senior Room Rowdies, McCartney, Brooks, Luther, and others. Frank helped out on the TORCH by writing the Biographical sketches of the Masters and also was a member of the debating team this year. Because of his scientific ability and interest, Buvey should carry off high honors at Harvard, the college of his choice. FRANK ALDEN BOVEY II 26 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1928 ’Bob'' Dartmouth Never morning wore to evening, but some heart did break.” BOBBY is without competition as the great Lover of the class of '36. Ever since we can remember he has been thrilling and breaking the hearts of countless Northrop lassies. But his charm has extended farther than that of a Lady's Man. For seven years Bob has influenced his class-mates with his cheerful, easygoing, and winning nature. As a dancer, fast driver, and inventor of crazy solutions to any problem (from Math to means of starting a car) Bob stands unexcelled. It might be added that this gentleman was the instigator of no less than 50 per cent of the commotions in the Senior Sanctum. Bob played forward on the hockey team for two seasons and pitched for the Varsity Baseball nine his Junior and Senior years. He also lent his talent to the Glee Club in the operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance. He has considered entering Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale at various times during the last few years; and unless he has changed his mind very recently, Bob intends to spend the next four years in Jar-away Hanover. Best of luck, Robert. ROBERT LANGDON BROOKS. JR. 27 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN IN the third form Inky joined the class with the reputation that he had created more destruction and raised more havoc in the Kenwood district than any other one boy. However, Wink has lost his mischievous nature and is regarded as one of the more dignified members of the Senior Class. To be sure it was rather disconcerting one day last winter to find that Inky had locked, from the inside, the door of the Senior lavatory, where the seventh formers keep their coats, and had then jumped nimbly out the window. Ink has consistently maintained a high standard of scholarship while at Blake despite taking five subjects last year. Winning letters in football and swimming for two years, and taking part in the plays and operettas during his Junior and Senior years has kept Ralph quite busy. In addition Ink occasionally wrote an article for the Torch'' (yes, we said occasionally). With his disarming smile and quick wit he never failed to amuse his hearers when he spoke in chapel. Ralph will join the large delegation of Blakesters trooping to Amherst next fall. 28 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN MAC entered Blake last year after spending several winters at the Taft school. With George Spencer's assistance he has successfully upheld the Seniors dignity at the dormitories. In addition he has carried on one or two courtships in town from his distant retreat on the hill-top—this in itself is a miraculous feat. In last year's school poll he was voted second only to Miller as the most handsome student in school. Despite his huge size, Mac was the fastest man on the football squad and used his speed to good advantage in hockey and tennis. Many will testify as to the power Mac wields with the paddle. After every vacation he returns to school with hair-raising stories of Duluth to awe his classmates. Probably his greatest art is to tip milk pitchers, to slide saltcellars at Jones, and to put spoons in Bovey’s coat pocket at lunch without attracting the attention of Hizzoner, Mr. Alder. Mac has decided to enter Wisconsin University next fall, following his father's footsteps. 29 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1924 “Bo Yale Thus he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman.” BRUCE is another who started in the first grade and has stayed with the class of '36 to graduation. Without doubt the most thorough and complete gentleman in the Senior class, Bo has exerted an immeasurable influence of dignity over his more frivolous classmates. However, that calm may be easily broken by starting an argument on Roosevelt. Bruce surpasses even such conservatives as Fahr and West in his scathing attacks on the present Democratic President. It is also not uncommon to hear in the midst of down-town traffic or during a lull at some dance, Bruce's bellowing voice screaming the Yale Bull-dog song. Bo excels in another field also. Covering all the important football games throughout the country, he picks up a tidy sum placing wagers at school and in the down-town pool-rooms. Bruce has been most faithful in attending football practice, and he won his letter in hockey and two in golf. In addition he handled the finances of the Plays and Operetta this year in a most efficient manner. Following his brother's footsteps, Bruce will enter Yale. 30 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1923 'Dobbie Amherst Come not within the measure of my wrath. AND now we come to one of the most versatile men in the class, for John Dobson has participated in just about every school activity of note. Long one of our most renowned Thespians and the main-stay of the Glee Club, he has also won a name for himself in football as a brainy quarterback; in hockey as a high scoring forward; and in baseball as a stellar occupant of the hot comer. He served in his junior year as Sports Editor of The Torch and in his senior year as Managing Editor. But J. A. D. has not confined himself solely to activities within the school, as his well earned sobriquet of Casanova will testify. If he can convince Mr. Savage that he really knows something about German and if he can resist the alluring temptations of nearby Smith College, this versatile youth should deliver quite a shock to the college of Lord Geoffrey. Only recently, the fiery Dobbie amazed all by pulling down second honors for a two-weeks' period. 31 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Dick A Hon among ladies is a most dreadful thing. Entered Blake 1924 Amherst RICHARD MARTIN DOBSON i1 ■ -- DICK is one of those extremely lucky fellows who joined our class at its very beginning. He was a charter member. Subsequent events have shown that the class was also extremely fortunate to have Dick join its ranks. His pet study seems to be English. He astounds every one with his original discoveries in the field of orthography. Recently biology has commanded his attention to some extent, but results have not been comparable in interest with those in the orthographical field. Turning from the academic to the athletic, we find R. D.'s name shining brightly in the heavens. After a long and illustrious career in the coefficients, he stepped into the varsity competition with a bang. Three stormy years at defense in hockey, two remarkable years at end in football, together with two scintillating seasons at the initial sack in baseball, testify to this fact. A Council member, a Union man, a member of the A. A. board, Dick has done his share of participating in student activities. After due deliberation. Dick has elected to go to Amherst—another small college man! 32 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1929 Phil Harvard ' The devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape.” SMILING Phil Douglas with his humorous antics both in the class room and out is a man whose name will live on forever. Doug acquired this gay and blithesome nick-name by his uncanny ability to greet any situation, hilarious or grave, with the grin of a Cheshire cat. Many a master bowed with the weight of pedagogical cares has found new strength in Phil's bright and cheery glance. Many a student has discovered the solution to his problems in his beaming countenance. In addition to his skill as a gloom chaser, Phil has proven himself in other fields. A mighty warrior on the football and baseball fields in his younger days, he has lately undertaken the management end of sport. As manager of the football team, he performed his duties both alertly and efficiently. The Douglas boy is also a hunter of note. The quality and variety of his hunting apparel has often caused his mates to gape with wonder. Phil gave his wholehearted support to the Glee Club by lending himself and his voice to the operetta as a soldier. P. A. D. is going to Harvard where he plans to carve himself out a place in the engineering profession. 33 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1929 Sam Harvard Cum Laude I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips, let no dog bark. SO talented is Sam, both as an athlete and a scholar, that he is having difficulty in choosing his life's work. At times he leans toward the teaching profession and then again, he considers professional football or baseball. His name is as inseparably associated with the honor roll as pork is with beans. His vocabulary is such that no one dares to read a Fahr-manufactured theme without three or four dictionaries close at hand. His ability to reel off page after page of jingling verbiage has caused many a student to gape with amazement. In athletics Sam has made the name of Fahr synonymous with brilliance both on the gridiron and the diamond. For three seasons he has been a bulwark in the line at tackle on the former. Though ambitious to perform in the backfield, his fight and weight have kept him a lineman. On the baseball nine by his sterling efforts as a fly-shagger in right field he has often caused opposing batsmen to walk futilely back to the bench once they have lifted the ball into the air. His prowess as a slugger has broken the heart of many a pitcher. Sam is headed for Harvard where he will do his share to keep the shield of Blake scholarship shining brightly. 34 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN david McCartney heskett ALL of us knew Dave as a conscientious, good-hearted student; respected him as a fair-minded, sincere headboy; and envied him for his hard-driving football ability. But none of us suspected that our rather retiring headboy was a potential Romeo, Casanova, Don Juan or what have you. Last winter the gossip column in the Amateur Golfer and Sportsman described our David as a flutterer of feminine hearts. With this bit of enlightening information Blakesters in general regarded our chief-heartbreaker with more respect. Despite his serious carriage throughout the school, Dave was always ready for a good rough and tumble battle in the Senior retreat and not infrequently was the cause for warnings from the Latin department in the adjoining room. On one occasion when his fellow-classmates had conspired against him, Dave was found wrapped up in the senior-room rug, supporting all the furniture (what little was still intact), and emitting weird, goon-like groans. Dave's sincerity and leadership, his remarkable ability in Math and science, as well as his prowess in football and swimming will make him a welcome addition to M. I. T. 35 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN DAVID was one of those who joined us in the first year of the Senior school. For several years he managed to keep his athletic light hidden under a bushel, but in the Third Form he emerged as an elusive halfback and a pitcher noted for his control. Since that date he has managed to hold a position on the gridiron both as an end and as a halfback, and he has toiled successfully on the mound as a varsity pitcher, where his sweeping curve and crackling fast one have earned him the respect of all and the fear of some of the would-be .300 hitters. Early displaying a morbid propensity towards physics, biology, and chemistry, in fact, science in general and medicine in particular, Davy has decided to follow in the footsteps of his father in pursuit of the microbe and germ. To carry out this intention, he has selected Harvard as the college of his choice, and we wish him the best of luck. 36 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN CHIEF claimant to the title, strong, silent man of the class of thirty-six, (especially silent!) Dick has repeatedly amazed, nay, astounded, his classmates with his ability to face without a murmur the verbal attacks of boys and masters alike. Those believing that silence is golden will certainly iind in Richard a man who is truly worth his weight in gold. Fortune first smiled upon this tranquil individual when she carved him out a niche among the original members of the class. With this auspicious beginning he has climbed ever upward on the ladder of education until he can now boast that he has not even seen the upper study for at least two weeks. Of late Mr. King has adopted history as his field. Quick to recognize this fact, the proper authorities appointed him Class Historian. The choice has proved to be a wise one. Dick is apparently a small college man as evinced by his selection of Am herst. He will travel along the highway of learning in the wooded hills of Massachusetts. We bid you good speed, Rich, and as we see you fly by in your famous green Olds, we cannot but hope you are hastening on tov ard happiness and success. 37 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1928 John Princeton I would give all my lame for a pot of ale. BIG-BONED and tall, John has towered over his fellow classmates since the Junior school days. Good-natured and conscientious he has traversed the paths of Blake learning without a grumble or cross word and only laughs at the verbal attacks of the hot tempered members of the class. However, his good humor does not indicate a lack of industry. If John sets out to accomplish a thing, you may rest assured the matter will be thoroughly completed. For four years he has played on the first hockey team where his deft stick-handling and speedy skating made him a constant scoring threat. He captained the undefeated ice team this year. During the past three springs John has smacked the tiny white ball around Minikahda for the Blake sod-choppers, and is captain of the Golf team. A year ago John was a member of the cast for the annual Blake plays. After singing in the Glee Club for two seasons John managed the property for the operetta, The Two Vagabonds. Hindered seriously by a severe appendicitis, John was unable to go out for football for any length of time, but his appearance on the gridiron was marked as in everything else by a conscientious endeavor to do his best for Blake. JOHN RONNOW LAURITZEN 38 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN CHARLES HAMILTON LUTHER HAM'S original biographical sketch was completed several weeks ago. But at that time Ham's soul had not known the meaning of true love. It was not until a few weeks ago that Duchess entered the life of Charles Hamilton, and satisfied his previously unfilled desire for a true and beautiful friendship. In contrast to Ham's rather unsuccessful amourous career, he can boast of a fine scholastic and athletic record here at Blake. He graduates Cum Laude, and insists he has worked to get there. Ham this year made his letter in football and hockey. His “temperament upset his tennis career this spring when he might have gone on to win a letter. “Happy is well known for his dramatic ability. He has played many parts in the annual plays, and this winter turned to the opera to sing one of the title roles in The Two Vagabonds. As the head of the newly formed Press Club Ham did fine work this year in gaining for Blake newspaper recognition. We all trust that Ham will not tire of Harvard —or Harvard of Ham—before he can dangle a Phi Beta Kappa key from his watch chain. 39 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1929 Mac Williams ''Rhythm is my business'' SHOULD a contest for class funny man be held, Jim would undoubtedly win by a unanimous vote. His sage comments, such as, Things have quieted down to a roar,'' have been a source of amusement for lol these many years. Mac has been a mainstay on the Blake pitching staff for three seasons. Because of his value to the baseball team, he was elected captain this year. Many a batter has gone down swinging before Captain Jim's deceptive hurling. Last fall Mac earned a football letter by his work at guard on the varsity eleven. In the operetta, Mr. McCartney paraded on the stage as a member of the Soldiers' Chorus.'' Jim has often aroused the envy of his classmates by escorting beautiful damsels whom he declines to introduce to the fellows. In selecting Williams, Mac has made it a certainty that any gloom on that campus is doomed to extermination. 40 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN JAMES BOODY MASSIE PERHAPS you are wondering who this Massie person is. Well, we think, he is the fellow whose name before it was Massie was Jennings, but who was bom with yet a different John Henry. At any rate, Massie or Jennings or what have you is the fellow that can be easily identified as the lad wearing the classy ensemble, who lives out at the house and seldom eats his dessert. You may have seen Jim in the plays last fall as Napoleon's barber's wife. If you have followed the baseball team, you will recognize Jim as the dependable batting practice hurler with the mean side-arm delivery. In the classroom Massie has consistently produced satisfactory work, and seems to have done so with a minimum of effort. James is perhaps the most traveled lad in the class of '36. This winter he journeyed to the sunny shores of California; this spring he wended his way to New York. The remarkable feature of all this is that he has done all this traveling on money he has saved up from his regular allowance for all of his expenses. Jim will join the Blake delegation at Harvard next fall. 41 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1927 Bud Yale “Fierce warres and faithful loves shall moralize my song. WHEN the cry, Meeting will come to order, booms forth more loudly than usual from the direction of the Senior room, it is a good bet that Vice President Mills is presiding in the absence of the chief executive. Bud joined up with the boys of thirty-six far back in the dim and distant past. In fact, he entered in the third grade. Since that time, in addition to being an asset to the class in numerous ways, he has proved himself an athlete of no mean ability. With several years of success on coefficient teams to his credit, Bud received his first taste of varsity competition on the swimming squad. As both a swimmer and a diver he was so valuable that he was chosen captain of the team last season. Walt's career at shortstop on the baseball nine has been marked by many scintillating plays as well as goodly numbers of line drives, while his record at half-back in the football lineup has been equally brilliant. WALTER HALL MILLS, JR. 42 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN JAMES WARREN PALM AND in this corner we have Warren Palm, financier and ad-man extraordinary. In his early days at the institution on the hill, Warren aspired to deeds athletic, but after throwing a successful forward pass on the kickoff during his C days, only to have the play called back and his team penalized, Palmy renounced the men of the hairy chest forever and so successfully that today he is unexcelled at evading play. Since that eventful day on the C team, Suck has turned his attention to matters fiscal. He has been manager of just about everything, and class treasurer for longer than we can remember, and has enjoyed phenomenal success in inducing hard-hearted business men to come across for the Call O’ Pan. Though he will miss that personal contact between man and boy at Harvard, Palm will SUC-ceed wherever he goes. ✓ 43 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN STUART WILLIAMS RIDER. JR. Entered Blake 1928 Stuie Amherst With a smile that glowed. ONE of the most versatile members of the class of 1936, Stuart has served in nearly all the activities of the school, has been an outstanding athlete, and has been president of the Senior class. He headed the Dramatic Association this year. More brief, but scarcely less brilliant, has been his career in the field of light opera. Who will ever forget Stuart singing Darkest the Hour'' in this year's operetta, The Two Vagabonds'? Certainly he will never forget it. Though his present amateur standing can be seriously doubted, Stuart's love for photography helped in no small measure to develop the Blake Camera Club. A long and successful athletic career vouches for Stuie's physical prowess. As fullback on the football team, as goalie on this year's undefeated hockey team (he covered the nets last season, too) and as a member of the tennis team for four straight years he has done more than his share in glorifying the Brown and White. Stuart is headed for Amherst, where he will no doubt become the second Stuart Rider to gain fame for old Lord Jeff. 44 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1931 Herbie'' Williams Too late I stayed—forgive the crimel DULUTH has graduated from the school on the hill many great men. Now George Spencer takes his place among these. After napping through several years at Blake, George finds himself ready to journey to the mountains of Massachusetts and the streets of dear old Williamstown. Here George will divide his attentions between scholastic pursuits, conservation of local forest, and sleep. In his more wakeful moments at Blake, George has managed several athletic teams. This spring his economic nature and energetic assistants have kept the baseball budget within reason. The winter is, however, George's big season. It is then that this son of the north straps on his skis and sallies forth over the white-clad hills. Here is the real George Spencer, the great silent man of the wilds quietly patrolling his vast domain He is a prominent member of the Dramatic Association. Witness his gripping performance last year in “Submerged. and his deft portrayal of Dossenville of the French Republic in “The Beauty and The Jacobin, one of this year's productions. Well George, when you have become a second Isaac Walton, come back to the old school and do what you can to save the Wood of Oaks and start the Ivy growing on the walls. GEORGE HERBERT SPENCER. JR. 45 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN CARROLL GEORGE WELLS Entered Blake 1929 Tod” Yale I know not. I ask not. if guilt's in that heart, I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art.” AFTER a long and eventful career at Blake, both athletically and scholastically, little Hot Toddy” Wells now leaves the school on the hill. About his aforementioned scholastics let us say only that he has been graduated. About his athletic career we are inclined to write at length. Small in stature and consequently light, Tod has nevertheless served on Mike's football teams for the past two years as consistently as frequent injuries would permit. For three years Tod has starred on the hockey team. His fiery spirit and unusual skating ability combine to make him one of the finest players in Blake history. For two years previous to this spring Toddy won his letter in baseball. He was well on his way to another this season when a new ailment temporarily halted his athletic activity. While we are discussing Carroll's athletic record, we must not omit his diving ability of which the swimming team often took advantage. Tod’s ambition to enter Yale next fall will be fulfilled. There, he will add to Blake's glory on the hockey rink, and he will be nearer to Her.” 46 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Entered Blake 1929 Sonny Harvard Cum Laude ‘ Vows with so much passion, swears with so much grace. BENIAMIN SHEFFIELD WEST NO one knows why the nick-name Sonny has stuck with the otherwise quite mature personage of Benjamin Sheffield West, but by those who have known him in school it is not likely that he will ever be called anything else. His school mates will also remember him as an athlete, a scholar, and a journalist. His two years on the football team and his work last year as catcher on the baseball team have proven his athletic ability. As a student, and especially as a student of history, Sonny need bow to but few. He graduates with Cum Laude and with the reputation of being one of the best history men ever to darken Mr. Bitt's door. This year's Call O’ Pan is a fitting climax to Mr. West's journalistic career. He has been editor-in-chief this year and has edited The Torch and the Call O' Pan with the finished touch of a professional. At Harvard Sonny will make many friends and will continue his splendid scholastic career. 47 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN RALPH EMERSON WYER Entered Blake 1931 Ralphy Princeton “Then he will talk—good godsl how he will talk. THE task of writing up such an illustrious career as that of Ralph Wyer is no easy one. When Ralphy entered the school he was known only as a boy wonder of the tennis court. Now his athletic attainments include not only four years on the tennis team, but also two years on the hockey team. This year Ralph was high scorer on the hockey team. Ralph has always stood high in scholarship, and has been active in extra-curricular activities. He has served on the Publications Board for several years, climaxing his journalistic career this year as Sports Editor. Ralph is justly famous for his acting ability, as shown in the annual theatricals. If Ralph can overcome his shuffling stage walk he may have a brilliant career in the drama. As head waiter Ralph has spent several pleasant lunch hours loafing in the kitchen or watching his underlings slave. The store, although it was forced to move to a new location because of the current “biological urge,'' nevertheless has thrived and prospered under Wyer's management. May his stay at Princeton be as pleasant and gratifying as his years at Blake have been. 48 LIBRARY CL asses =-- THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Clifford, Andrus, Bissell, Youngquist, von Kuster. Second Row: Bean, Thomson, Peddie, Charlton. Purdy. Clark. Banks. Third Row: Burton. Rosenberry, Hibbard. Thompson, C., Oakes, Cook. Fourth Row: Michelson, Atkinson. Bauder, Mr. Cleveland. SIXTH FORM ALTHOUGH the sixth form this year was not one of the strongest classes in the school, it placed many men on all the teams. On the football team, we had three lettermen—Bean, Rosenberry, and Bissell, while on the hockey team, Atkinson and Burton made the first team. Letter winners in swimming were Captain-elect Michelson. Clifford, Thompson, Clark, Thomson, and von Kuster, manager; Charlton and several others may win letters in baseball. In tennis this year, Gale Burton represents the Junior Class. Peddie and Chuck Thompson are out for the golf team. Bean, Rosenberry, and Bissell are members of the Union. Bean, Banks, Clark, Oakes, Clifford, Thompson, and Andrus are in the Glee Club, while Rosenberry was the only member of the sixth form on the Debating team. Clifford, Bean, Cook, Andrus, Thompson, and Oakes did their part in making the plays successful. On the Publications Board were Oakes, Peddie, Andrus, and Cook. Although our scholastic standing is not very high, Oakes and Andrus were consistently on the first honor roll. On the Council we were ably represented by Banks and Bean. The class officers are Bissell. president; Andrus, vice-president; and Youngquist, treasurer. We wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Mr. Cleveland for the helpful assistance rendered by him. JACK BISSELL, President 53 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Jones. Burton.

FIFTH FORM IN September as fifth formers we found that the loss of four former members was compensated by the entrance of the new members—Heimbach, Fisher, Stevenson, and J. Thompson. At the first meeting Anderson was elected president; Donaldson, vice-president; and L. Burton, treasurer. Carter was chosen to represent us on the Council. The fine marks of Burton, Carter, Donaldson, and Hannah have helped greatly to keep our scholastic standing high. Hannah and Donaldson served on the debating team. Although in football Burton was the only B team letterman, Bowman and Fisher made A letters. J. Thompson, J. Brooks and Anderson were on the second varsity. J. Brooks, M. Wells, and J. Thompson saw action in the varsity hockey games. Prospects for baseball, tennis, and golf are promising, and we hope to be represented on the teams. For the second consecutive year the class wishes to express its gratitude to the class advisor, Mr. Lundholm, for the splendid service he has rendered us throughout the year. 54 ALAN ANDERSON, President THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: McMillan.

FOURTH FORM THIS year fourteen new boys entered our class, bringing our total enrollment to thirty-six. In our first class meeting we elected the following class officers: Martin, president; Clark, vice-president; Russell, treasurer; Mr. Home, class advisor. To Mr. Horne we wish to express our sincere thanks for his wise counsel. Though as a class we have not ranked exceptionally scholastically, we have in our number four or five splendid scholars. Colman, who has consistently led our class, has not averaged under 88 all year. The Fourth Form is a very athletic group. Clark, Bowman, Arnao, Ehrenberg, Laramee, Strong, and Waters won their letters in A football. In ' B ' football awards were won by Dobson, Robb, Kingman. Morrison, and Hill. Many boys were on the swimming or hockey squads this winter and the Fourth Form will doubtless be well represented in all the spring sports. ThiS year we were represented in the Dramatic Association by Clark, and in the Glee Club by Hill, Waters, Bowman, Clark, and Martin.

THIRD FORM AT the opening of the school year our class was very sorry to find that it had lost Marshall Jones and Ted Colman, who skipped a year. However, we welcomed the new boys, John La Bounta, Bob Neils, John Spencer, Bud Johnson, and Ted Sutherland. The class elections were as follows: Burton, president; Mokros, vice-president; and Dayton, treasurer. We elected Mr. Savage as our class advisor. The third form took a large part in the school activities this year. We were represented in the choir by Confer, Cooper, Hull, McCartney, and Sheldon. In football, Dorsey, Duff, and Flannery received their letters on the B team; while Johnson, Neils, Mokros, and Wyer won letters on the “A team. This winter the first lower school hockey games were organized, and the third form boys took an active part in them. Several boys took boxing lessons from Jimmie Potts this winter. Baseball and tennis are underway now, and we look forward to a good year in both these sports. Scholastically, our class has ranked very high with Duff and Mokros leading.

SECOND FORM THE second form, under the able advisorship of Mr. Strickland has made steady progress through the year 1936 in education, athletics, and school spirit. In view of the fact that nearly half our boys out of the sixteen are new and unaccustomed to the school routine, we are not ashamed of the fact that only two boys were regular members of the honor roll. The second form has won the plaque once this year, with John Fansler as the highest ranking student. The new boys in the second form are Bill Drake, Frank Moore, Bill Strong, James Cowin, Bob Maxeiner, Ely Farr, and Sam Ashmun. Everyone of the boys in our form has been on one or more of the coefficient teams, either in baseball. football or both, and some have gone out for tennis. All the boys ranked highly in their individual sports, which shows a strong ability for athletics. The class officers elected by our form are as follows: Bill Strong, president; George Gallenkamp, vice-president; James Gamble, secretary and treasurer. We wish to thank Mr. Strickland for his observing leadership throughout 1936. BILL STRONG. President 57 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Dayton. D., Duff. N., Heffelfinger. M.. Richards. Dobson, W. Second Row: Hart. Barbour. Heffelfinger, P., Carter, Bissell. Third Row: Thompson, Lyman, Gale, Mr. Bittinger. FIRST FORM WE were gldd to find four new members in our class last fall. The new boys were Harold Lyman, John Thompson, Reed Bissell, and Peavey Heffelfinger. We have a fairly big class compared to the number in the Junior School. Our class so far has won the scholarship plaque several times. Carter and Lyman are competing for first place and Hart is a close second. The first form has four boys on the B squad, and the rest on the C. Mark Heffelfinger plays on the B baseball team and Pete Bissell is manager. The C team has very many first formers on it, with Lyman, captain. Last winter, nearly all the boys played hockey. Ten of the class are members of the choir and we are very proud of this. The only serious accident that has happened to us this year was at the beginning of the spring term when Henry Barbour broke his leg in two places. The class officers elected at the beginning of the year are Mark Heffelfinger, president; Richard Gale, vice-president; Nicholas Duff, treasurer. We are very lucky to have Mr. Bittinger for our class advisor. 58 MARK HEFFELFINGER, President FIREPLACE Ovganiza tions THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Heskett, Mr. Alder, Dobson, R. Back Row: Bean, Martin, Carter, Banks, Dobson, J. STUDENT COUNCIL THE Student Council, once a disciplinary body, has in late years been steadily changing to an advisory group. This year, perhaps more than ever before, the council has performed valuable service as advisor to Mr. Alder, the faculty, and especially the student body. Although no spectacular legislation has come from the group this year, the general success of all school activities can be credited in part to the watchful eye and silent help of the council. As routine duties the council has managed two successful dances, arranged the school calendar, and planned programs for various school events. The practice of having a council member preside in chapel each Monday morning has been continued this year. The Student Advisory Board, organized by last year's Student Council has developed into a very worthwhile institution and plans to extend similar advisorships over the rest of the student body (those boys above the second form) have been the subject of frequent debates in council meetings. The value of the Council, in its present advisory and commentary capacity lies in just such debates and discussions. Though the student body fails at times to appreciate that the council is helping mould the policies and the traditions of Blake, the actual worth of the group can not be seriously doubted. 63 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Seated: Bissell.

THE UNION ACTING largely as a discussion group, the Union, which is composed of juniors and seniors, has tried to increase its members' ability to think and speak well on their feet. Meetings are usually held on alternate Fridays at six o'clock. After a dinner, the members retire to the library, where the formal meeting is held. The highlights of each program are a speech by a prepared speaker, an impromptu talk by a person chosen by lot, and a few words from a faculty guest if there is one. After the singing of the Alma Mater, the regular meeting is over, and an informal discussion usually follows. As always, the Union medal was awarded this year to a fifth former for excellence in delivering an address. On May 15 the Senior members read papers which they had prepared and in which they gave their frank criticism of the school. On May 22, the annual Fathers' and Sons' banquet took place. On this occasion, the new men were welcomed into the group and the old ones were ushered on their way. 64 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Bean. Mr. Bittinger, Mr. Strickland, Rosenberry, Michelson. Back Row: Bissell, Mills, Fahr. Dobson, R., Campbell, Luther, Wyer, Heskett, Dobson, J., Rider. THE ADVISORY BOARD THE first and second form advisor groups, a new organization in the school this year, has already shown its worth. The advisors, who are members of the two upper classes, are chosen by the Student Council with the approval of the faculty. These men cooperate with the faculty advisors of the first two forms in endeavoring to help the new boys get along at Blake. Each advisor has two or three younger fellows whom he looks after. He tries to iron out any difficulty which the boy may find himself in; he keeps track of his boys' marks and points out possibilities for improvement; and he tries to get his fellows interested in as many school activities as possible. The organization is still far from perfect; yet, it has worked so well this year that it will be continued next year. We hope that it will become more effective each year in helping the younger boys to become good citizens in the school. 65 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Campbell. Wyer.

However, the success of the Board is questionable. Too frequent typographical errors in the early editions caused considerable concern for the Torch staff and the faculty advisor. Dependent on the various athletic seasons for news, the Board published The Torch at somewhat irregular periods but succeeded in fulfilling the promise of ten issues. During the course of the year the editorial department made several proposals for the intended benefit of the school; a change in the Union, a different method of awards to the Coefficients, and a new manner of electing the headboy. After a rather discouraging start, the Board feels that The Torch of 1935-36 has at least been successful in presenting the news of the school in a more easily read and more attractive paper, and in arousing the interest of the school body in The Torch and in Blake. CALL O' PAN THE CALL O' PAN of 1936 includes several new features. The colored etchings of the school, which have been used as section pages, were designd to add interest and attractiveness to the book. The stiff, rough leather cover should improve the permanent appearance of the Call O' Pan. Feeling that last year's V-shaped, compact cuts of the football iettermen and lens shots were unsatisfactory, the 1936 Board has returned to the practice of using vertical informal pictures. At a slight extra cost we have bought the best grade of paper possible to bring out the print and cuts to better advantage. Another new feature is the use of sepia brown ink and a modern print style in the book. Warren Palm has worked wonders in managing the ad campaign. Employing cash prizes and amusing displays he secured amazing results in financing the Call O' Pan. The Publications Board sincerely hopes that this book will be worthy of the generous support of the school body and that it will measure up to the high standards of past Call O' Pans. 67 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Fisher, Campbell, Dayton, Rider, Luther, Dobson, Clark.

DRAMATICS THE Dramatic Association's twenty-first annual production of the Blake plays enjoyed considerable success. The plays were presented on the stage of the Woman's Club Assembly. Direction was placed in the capable hands of Mrs. Hazel Lotze Whittaker. Both Mrs. Whittaker and the members of the various casts are deserving of praise for their work in putting on a most creditable performance. NAPOLEON'S BARBER—Arthur Caesar Napoleon - George Clifford The Barber - Stuart Rider The Barber's Wife.................James Massie Pierre..........................Lindley Burton The scene of the play is in a French barber shop in the late eighteenth century. The barber is in the process of shaving a man in the uniform of a common soldier. As he works, the barber belittles Napoleon. He boasts that if Napoleon were only in his shop, he would slit his throat with a razor. A small boy enters, voluble in his tales of great battles. The soldier listens to the youngster's prattle with approval, finally giving the lad a medal of the Legion of Honor, which may only be awarded by the Emperor himself. This opens the barber's eyes to the fact that he has been shaving the great Napoleon in person. 68 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN THE MAN OF IDEAS—Miles Malleson The Man of Ideas......................John Dobson Thomas Goodman...............................Ralph Wyer Charles Cartwright .... Charles Thompson Alice Cartwright.....................Malcolm Clark A shabby man is prowling about the grounds of a country house in Surrey in the small hours of the morning. Warned of his presence by Alice, Messrs. Goodman and Cartwright capture the intruder as he is stealthily entering the house through a window. An Oxford graduate, the fellow is no culprit at all, but an unfortunate who has been forced into burglary by necessity. After originating several novel ideas the man of ideas is released by his captors. He vanishes into the night through the same window by which he entered. BEAUTY AND THE JACOBIN—Booth Tarkington Louis - -- -- -- - Hamilton Luther Valsin ------- Ralph Campbell Eloise ------- Stephen Andrus Anne ------- Theodore Carter Dossenville ------ George Spencer Louis and Anne are two aristocrats attempting to escape from revolt-torn France. Aiding them is Eloise, who claims to have joined the revolutionists. Valsin, an agent of the revolutionary government, breaks into their apartment. Louis conceals himself while the two women seek to convince Valsin that Louis is not with them. In vain Eloise states that she is Citizeness Eloise d'Anville. Valsin apparently persists in his belief that the citizeness is in the next room where Louis is hiding. Thus, he makes it possible for Louis, masquerading as Eloise, to leave for the boat which will permit his escape from the country. Valsin, fully aware of what has occurred, enjoys a huge laugh. BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE—Bertram Bloch Kitty Carson ------ Boynton Bean Mrs. Plummer..................Davenport Cook Bogges - -- -- -- - James Wyman Miss Plummer ------ Robert Fisher Lawyer ------- Philip Heimbach It is rumored that Bogges, Kitty Carson's chauffeur, is in reality an earl. Immediately, Kitty Carson and Miss Plummer, urged on by the latter's mother, start a race to ensnare Mr. Bogges in a matrimonial trap. It becomes evident that Miss Plummer had known the fellow before. Later, it is discovered that he is not an earl, after all. Kitty drops him like a hot potato and Miss Plummer makes the catch. Since Bogges is revealed as a famous English author, traveling incognito, her catch proves to be well worth her trouble. 69 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Conler, Gale, Simmons, Richards, Thompson, Heffelfinger, Mr. Avery, Dobson, W., Heifehinger, Hart.

MUSIC UNDER the able direction of Mr. Avery the Glee Club and Choir have presented several fine offerings. The anthem sung at Vespers, which was written by Mr. Avery especially for the group, was the finest piece of part singing done this year. An orchestra has been founded this year and many beginners indicate a fine future for the organization. The boys have received most valuable instruction. The operetta given with the Glee Club of Northrop School is always the big event of the musical season. This year the operetta, The Two Vagabonds, was chosen and was presented on the fourteenth of March. The curtain parts to reveal the exterior of an inn in France. The time is around 1780. A chorus of villagers sings of the coming marriage between the daughter of the Marquis and a certain nobleman whom they have never seen. The soldiers enter and sing the Soldier's Life before they march off in search of a notorious thief said to be in the vicinity. With the stage thus set, the two vagabonds come upon the scene. One of them is the thief whom the soldiers are pursuing. He has just robbed the expected bridegroom and has relieved him of his 70 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN belongings. The thief's companion, a disowned son of noble family, determines to impersonate Viscount de Bordeleau, the unfortunate bridegroom. Of course, Natalie, the bride-to-be, is in love with a fine, deserving lad and does not wish to marry the Viscount. The first act closes with the true bridegroom entering and being arrested as the thief. Act two takes place at the chateau of the Marquis. Natalie has decided to elope with Gerard, her true love. The two vagabonds, known at the castle as nobles, consent to help them. Chicot, the thief, plans to get his hands on some priceless jewels in the process. While trying to sneak away, the elopers are seen by an old Duke who, taking them for burglars, spreads an alarm. The elopement is brought to an abrupt halt. The thief is caught, his pal discloses his true identity, and the real Viscount is freed releasing Natalie to the one she loves. To Mr. Avery, Miss Cotton of Northrop, and to Mr. Sidney Morse goes a large share of the credit for a fine production.

DEBATE THIS year a small but determined squad turned out and worked industriously during the winter, gathering material for the annual Blake-St. Paul debate. Under the expert guidance ol Mr. Bittinger and Mr. Cleveland, the vast amount of available material was boiled down to its essentials, and on Friday, March 6, the teams of the two schools met in the chapel, after a dinner at which the S. P. A. seniors were guests of the Blake Senior Class. The subject debated was: Resolved: that the United States should sever all trade relations with belligerent nations. The presiding officer was Dr. Benjamin T. Marshall, of the Plymouth Congregational Church. Following the custom instituted previously, each school was represented by two affirmative and two negative speakers. The Blake members were Ralph M. Rosenberry and Sheffield West, affirmative, and Frank Bovey and Frank Donaldson, negative; James Hannah and Samuel Fahr served as alternates. The task of judging was submitted to the members of the audience, and was done by ballot. The affirmative speakers were judged to have been the most convincing and effective by a vote of 79 to 67. The debate was excellently attended—far better than in some previous years—and it is to be hoped that in future years we will see similarly fine and interesting debates before similarly large audiences. 72 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN PUBLIC SPEAKING KEEPING in stride with the pace set in previous years, Public Speaking at Blake again took a prominent part in the school life this year. The custom has been continued of requiring the Juniors to speak once and the Seniors twice in Chapel throughout the course of the year. In general the quality of the talks has been excellent; a distinct improvement in technique of composition and delivery has been noted, which may be attributed to a large extent to the training undergone in the weekly meetings of the upper forms conducted by Mr. Alder. Lower school public speaking in the first two forms is under Mr. Horne's guidance and in the third form under that of Mr. Lamb. The fourth form receive their practice in oratory and discussion in Mr. Bittinger's World Problems class. The Thorpe Cup Contest, taking place on April 21st, was won by Samuel Fahr who spoke on The Indian Mounds of Minnesota. Honorable mention was received by David Heskett and Ralph Campbell. This contest, confined to Seniors, is extemporaneous to the extent that only 40 minutes of preparation is allowed The Fifth Form Declamation Contest for the Union Medal, occurring on May 7th, was won by Frank Donaldson, who delivered a dissertation by Elbert Hubbard entitled, Burr and Hamilton. Theodore Carter won honorable mention with a sketch, About Barbers by Mark Twain. The Lower School speaking contest for the Wilson Cup, taking place on May 15th, was won by John Fansler with an excellent rendition of Physics and Flux by Sir Arthur Eddington. Second place went to William Hull and Kenneth Dayton. The training received in speaking before an audience is of immeasurable value. Blake boys are offered a marvelous opportunity to develop their forensic talent in the Public Speaking classes and contests at school. 73 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN - ' = THE SENIOR DINNERS THIS year the Senior Dinners, of which there have been four, have been highly successful. A pleasant innovation has been that of having the speakers all Blake graduates, and the purpose of these dinners, to broaden the viewpoint of the boys about to graduate and enable them to choose careers more intelligently, has been well carried out. The first dinner took place on October 21, and the speaker on this occasion was Bradshaw Mintener, '19, who delivered an enlightening talk on the legal profession. Mr. Mintener emphasized the hard work necessary in preparation for such a career. On November 18, Charles B. Carroll, '17, presented an interesting talk on politics, which aroused much interest, as indicated by the number of questions asked. On December 9, Ralph Rubens, '18, spoke on engineering, and on April 16, George D. Dayton II, '24, spoke on The College Man in Business,'' giving his views on the advantages and disadvantages of a college education in preparation for business. The dinners have been very well attended and have been thoroughly enjoyed by the Seniors. Mr. Alder deserves great credit for securing such interesting speakers. It will be difficult in years to come to maintain the standard of the Senior Dinners set in 1936; the seniors owe great thanks to these men who have been kind enough to come to the school and address. SHORT STORY CLUB THE SHORT STORY CLUB, keeping pace with its popularity of former years, enjoyed another successful season. Again ably headed by Mr. Glenn, this organization, open only to Juniors and Seniors, was an outstanding attraction during the winter term. As in the past, short stories were read at fortnightly gatherings on Sunday evenings. An excellent selection of stories was made by Mr. Glenn with no certain type predominating. The meetings were held at the homes of various boys. Seniors John and Richard Dobson, Bruce Dayton, Walter Mills, and Carroll Wells kindly played the role of host, v hile Junior Robert Michelson likewise opened his home to club members. Delicious refreshments supplied by the host added a tasty and popular tang to each meeting. 74 - - THE 1936 CALL Q PAN JUNIOR - SENIOR PROM 1935 ON Commencement night, June 9, 1935, the annual Junior-Senior prom was held at the Woodhill Country Club. Arthur Larkin, Henry Atwood, John Atwood, and Alan White entertained the Seniors and the ladies of their choice at a dinner at the Lafayette Club preceding the dance. A similar party was held at the Minikahda Club by John and Dick Dobson, Bob Brooks, and Sheffield West for the Juniors and their partners. The dance started shortly after nine o'clock and closed only too quickly at one-thirty. Jimmy Robb and his orchestra furnished the music. The committee of Juniors in charge, Ralph Campbell, Bruce Dayton, and Stuart Rider, presented pocket knives to the boys and bud vases to the girls. The intense clapping for more music at the end of the dance was clear proof of the success of the 1935 Junior-Senior Prom. CHRISTMAS DANCE DUE to the financial failures of the school dances last year, the Student Council required a fifty dollar guarantee from the students before making arrangements for the Christmas dance. The total amount taken in by the committee more than doubled this sum. Jimmy Robb, who has almost become a fixture at Blake dances, was present with his orchestra. Although the floor was quite crowded, everyone apparently enjoyed himself thoroughly, including the committee in charge, Dick Dobson and Dave Heskett. At eleven o'clock Martha served delicious punch in the Trophy Room. Promptly at twelve the orchestra put away their instruments despite the pleas of the dancers. Mr. and Mrs. Alder, Mr. and Mrs. Dobson, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, and Mr. and Mrs. Rider were the chaperons. SPRING DANCE THE spring dance was held this year on the evening of March twentieth. Attendance was not as large as at the Christmas dance because many Blake-sters had departed on vacation jaunts. Nevertheless a large enough crowd to make the evening financially successful danced to the pleasing tunes of Jimmy Robb's orchestra. The committee in charge of the affair included council members Banks, Bean, Carter, and Martin. Parents who were present as chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Rider, Mr. and Mrs. McCartney, and Mr. and Mrs. Mills. After the dance the merrymakers enjoyed refreshments at several open houses. 75 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ON December 26th, during that period when all college undergraduates have returned to Minneapolis for the Christmas holidays, the annual Christmas luncheon of the Alumni Association was held at the Minneapolis Club. After a few words from Mr. Alder, Mike Home and John Savage, and after other members of the faculty had been introduced to the assembly, an informal discussion of the preparation that Blake formerly and now affords, was conducted by President George Dayton.

The Association, with the support of a large number of its members and through the particular efforts of Barney Clifford, George Dayton, Bill Dwinnell, Leon Warner, and John Savage, has this year organized a press club which is creditably handling all newspaper publicity for Blake. 76 ■ - - THE 1936 CALL O' PAN CUM LAUDE THE Cum Laude Society was founded at the Tome School in 1906. 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 John Crosby Edward C.

The President, Mrs. Cuthbert Carter, presided. It was announced that there would be a committee, headed by Mrs. Lyndon M. King, to promote publicity for the Junior School. Mr. Alder spoke on the number of new boys enrolled in the Country School at the Fall opening, and expressed his gratitude to the mothers for their assistance. It was decided, at this meeting, to have the Miniature School for Mothers rather than Form Teas, because the former had been so successful in the past. After the meeting adjourned, Professor Bird, of the University of Minnesota, gave a very interesting talk on the Habits of Study. The Miniature School was held at the Country School on April 8. There was a large attendance, including many visitors whom we hope were impressed with the many advantages of Blake for their sons. The Choir joined in the Chapel Service, after which the mothers attended 10 minute class periods. As usual, all who attended had a very interesting afternoon. On Wednesday Evening, April 22, the Blake-Northrop Dinner for faculty, parents, and friends took place at the Minikahda Club. Mrs. Wever Dobson, in the absence of Mrs. Cuthbert Carter, and Mrs. John C. Benson presided, and introduced the speakers. The principal speaker was Dr. Frederick M. Eliot, Pastor of Unity Church, St. Paul. His topic was The Greatest Partnership in the World. The following also spoke: Miss Spurr, Mr. Alder, Mr. Folwell Coan, Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, and Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, Jr., in behalf of the Little School at Lake Minnetonka. The Annual Meeting of the Blake Mothers' Association was held May 27. The following mothers have served as officers for 1935-1936: President..........................Mrs. Cuthbert Carter Vice-President.......................Mrs. Wever Dobson Secretary...................Mrs. Melville A.

KROGNESS, Secretary 78 WEST HOUSE Dormitories - - - TH E 1936 CALL O' PAN BOARDING DEPARTMENT SINCE very little is known by many at Blake concerning the boarding department, the Publications Board deemed it wise to devote some space to the two dormitories. Blake House is primarily lor the students in the upper school, while West House cares for the younger boys. However, at times older boys reside at the latter dormitory. Fifteen boys can be accommodated and of late the two houses have been filled most of the time. Although most of the boarders hail from Duluth; Idaho, North Dakota, and Wisconsin have been represented at various times. Minneapolis boys in order to raise their marks or because their parents are away, form a big percentage of the boarders. In 1920 Blake officially opened its first dormitory, although some boys had been boarding at a private residence near the school previous to this date. The new dormitory, Blake House, was under the supervision of Mr. Clough, a teacher at the school, and his wife. A few years later Mr. and Mrs. Hallenbeck assumed charge. The Guisers and the Smiths followed the Hallenbecks in that order. Mr. Coulter and Mr. Home were the next house masters and Mr. Coulter stayed at the house for the first year that Mr. Slater was here. Mr. Owen also was at Blake House for a short time. When Mr. Slater was married, he and his wife took charge. Mr. Bittinger came to Blake in 1929, and when Mr. Slater left to become Headmaster of Adelphi Academy, the Southern Sage became the chief master of Blake House. Howard Rosenberry, Blake '32, has assisted Mr. Bittinger during the last two years. West House is a fairly recent addition to the Blake Boarding department, starting in 1926. At this time Mr. and Mrs. Lamb assumed charge and have remained there ever since. During this time Mr. Foss, Mr. Home, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Bittinger, Mr. Wagner, and Mr. Pithie have served as Associate masters at West House. 83 BLAKE HOUSE WEST HOUSE FIELD HOUSE THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Bean, Vice-President; Dobson.

Board, with the suggestions of the managers, coaches, and captains of the various athletic teams, made out the athletic budget for 1935-36. On the following Monday, the program was accepted without debate by the whole school. Since the selection of lettermen on the various teams is no longer considered by the school but solely by the coach, no A. A. meetings were held to approve the lists of lettermen. On Monday evening, November fourth, the A. A. feted the Varsity football team as well as the coefficients at a banquet in the school dining room. Letters were distributed to the lettermen on the different squads. Mr. Barney Clifford, class of '14, was the toastmaster. For the first time in Blake history the A. A. financed a dinner for those who played on the Varsity, the second, and the lower school hockey teams. This was held April ninth at the school. The A. A. Board is very grateful to the Dramatic Association who bought keys for the lettermen of the undefeated hockey team. 89 7 ’ MIKE1' HORNE Football Coach • SHUBE” OWEN Baseball Coach MAJOR SPORTS DAVE HESKETT Captain of Football jiM McCartney Captain of Baseball THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: McCartney, Dobson, R., Heskett, Fahr, Mills. Back Row: Bean, Jones, Bissell, Coach Horne, West. Rosenberry, Luther, Rider, Campbell, Dobson. J. FOOTBALL IT is indeed a difficult task to review an entire football season in so brief a space. Thus with only a word of well deserved commendation for the loyal work of the obscure second team, whose hard plugging made possible the high polish attained by the regulars, we must turn to the contests themselves. De La Salle, 0—Blake, 0 at Blake on September 27. Blake opens its 1935 season by a scoreless battle with a husky De La Salle squad. The game is a monotonous mid-field struggle with the Islanders threatening once by a series of passes and the Hilltoppers narrowly missing a score when Rosenberry intercepts a hostile toss and heads for a touchdown only to be dragged down from behind deep in enemy territory. In this game the team displays fair form for so early in the season and gives promise of fine football to come. Blake, 12—St. Thomas, 0 at St. Thomas on October 4. Forced back to make a desperate goal line stand in the early stages of the game, the Hilltoppers rally and drive down the field in a brilliant march to score on the Cadets midway in the second period. The Soldiers' frantic last half aerial attack is effectively halted, and late in the game wingman Dobson charges in to block a Tommy punt, scoop it up, and streak across the last white mark for a second 93 THE 1936 CA LL O' PAN : - —— ■ - Blake touchdown. Especially noteworthy in this game is the punting of Rosen-berry and the play of Captain Heskett at center. Blake, 7- Wells, 7 at Wells on October 11. The Brown and White gridders journey to Wells to engage that team in a night contest. Seemingly at home under the spotlights, the Blakesters immediately assume the offensive, spending the entire first half in a series of marches, fraught with long gains both by land and by air. Touchdowns are lost by fumbles and penalties at crucial moments. Finally a third period advance from midfield brings the Hilltoppers a touchdown and Rosy boots the extra point. Wells rallies; and although it is halted after dangerous forays around the Blake left flank, it connects with a long pass in the last minutes, and another end run ties the score. The game closes with Blake battling fruitlessly in midfield. Shattuck, 7—Blake, 2 at Blake on October 25. A powerful Shad eleven battles the Hilltoppers on even terms throughout a scoreless first quarter, and by dint of a neat forward-lateral pass and five successive line plunges for eleven yards, take over a seven point lead in the second. The last half sees the Brown and White methodically set out to bridge this margin, but their best efforts result only in a safety, scored when a Soldier back is tackled in the end zone after missing a faulty pass from center. This game finds the hard-charging Redmen bottling up the Blake attack. Blake, 6—S. P. A., 0 at Blake on November 8. The Blake Homecoming. The game is played on the lower field, the regular gridiron being a sea of mud. The Brown and White keeps the ball continuously in Academy territory but seems to lack a scoring punch. However, late in the second period, Blake duplicates the play that won for Shattuck the week before, and Dick Dobson takes an end-around from West, flips a pass to Rosenberry who tosses a lateral to Campbell, the latter romping to the only score of the afternoon. Rosy fails to convert, and the Blakesters' advance continues, still impotent. A fumble deep in Hilltopper territory gives St. Paul its scoring chance, but its desperate attack is easily checked, and the game ends as Blake gains a first down on the Academy one yard line. Eleven senior lettermen play their last game for Blake. The fine record of the team is tribute enough to the hard and conscientious work of Coaches Mike Home and “Shube Owen. 94 DAVE HESKETT—Dave finishes four years of outstanding play at center. He was rated the Williams Cup by his teammates, which is the highest honor that can be awarded a football player at Blake. BOYNTON BEAN—Bean played a good consistent game at guard. This year's experience should give him the needed confidence for next season. SONNY WEST—Sonny was an excellent quarterback and leader and always gave everything he had to the team. LETTER MEN HAM LUTHER — Ham has developed surprising stamina at tackle this year. He played throughout every game and covered more than his share of ground on his side of the line. STUART RIDER—Stuie was that flashy type that was always coming up with the unexpected. His spirit was a great asset to the team. RALPH ROSENBERRY—Rosy alternating in the back-field and at end always gave a good account of himself. He is one of the best punters that has been at Blake in a good many years, and should be outstanding next year. DAVE JONES—Dave developed into a dependable end late in the season. His persistence and hard work were the chief factors that made him valuable to the team. JIM McCARTNEY—Jim at guard was dependable and consistent. Although not a heavy weight, he made up in nerve what he lacked in size. SAM FAHR—Sammy as usual was probably in more plays per game than any man on the team. He could make any college team he chose. JACK BISSELL—Jack, the captain elect, did surprisingly well at guard Jor his first year on the team. The confidence of the team in electing him to lead next year's squad speaks for his leadership. DICK DOBSON—Dick was truly-an all around end. Besides playing an excellent game himself he inspired the other men on the team. INKY CAMPBELL—Ink was the old reliable of the team. Although his specialty was blocking, he was also a good ball handler and runner. WALTER MILLS—Bud was another old faithful, not spectacular but in the game every minute—a fine blocker and tackier. JOHN DOBSON—Although he lacked his brother's stamina, he was that fiery type which made the team click when he was in there at quarterback. PHIL DOUGLAS—Phil, as manager, handled his job in a very efficient manner. His experience as assistant manager the year before enabled him to care for the team's every need on time and without fail.

BASEBALL WITH six veterans from last spring's sterling outfit returning to bolster this year's team, baseball seems set for another successful season at Blake. Although the somewhat belated return of spring forced the squad into the field house for most of its early practice, the boys are rapidly rounding into fine shape, and the first nine has attained a high polish seldom found at this early date. The present lineup finds John Dobson at third with Bud Mills at short. Bert Martin, a product of the A team, is doing a remarkable job of filling Miller's shoes at second, and the veteran Dick Dobson at first rounds out a snappy infield. Sam Fahr is back in right field again while Inky Campbell and Tom Charlton are leading John Brooks in a merry race for the other two garden positions. Captain McCartney, Bob Brooks, and Dave Jones form one of Blake's best pitching staffs of recent years, and Monty Wells, converted from a utility infielder and pitcher, is surprising everybody with his fine work behind the plate. Although the opener was dropped to St. Thomas by the score of 10-1, the game was much closer than the count indicated with costly errors contributing materially to the Tommy total. No such nervousness was apparent in the De La Salle struggle, however, and the Hilltoppers amassed a total of eight 99 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN runs to their opponents' three behind the great hurling of McCartney. The game at S. P. A. was somewhat closer but the Brown and White piled up an early lead and were never headed winning by 6-4. Although Jim McCartney received credit for the victory, the relief work of Brooks deserves much praise. Again in the Concordia fracas Mac toiled while the winning run was scored, but this time it was Dave Jones who finished off the Comets to the tune of eight to four. Although the hitting in these early contests, especially that of the outfield, has been noticeably weak, the boys are beginning to find their batting eyes; and what is considerably more gratifying, the fielding is considerably above the average—something rather unusual in past Blake squads. The team is pointing toward the Shattuck series and the return affair with St. Thomas, as the latter aggregation has twice been defeated by the Islanders from De La Salle since their first engagement with Blake. Coach Shube Owen, who has succeeded the overworked Mike Home, deserves all the credit in the world for his commendable start and the fine spirit of his players. We join with the entire school in wishing him the best of luck.

Burton. HOCKEY AMASSING a total of thirty-four goals to its opponents' two, the 1935 Blake Hockey team swept to the first undefeated season in that sport in the history of the school. This enviable record is rendered the more remarkable by the fact that Coach John Savage produced such a team in his second year of work at the school The season opened January 10 on the home rink against a mediocre squad from St. Thomas. The game was ragged with the Blake forwards continuously controlling the puck and missing countless scoring chances. However, a few flashes of the potential strength of team accounted for the winning margin of four goals, as the Cadets never scored An erratic West squad was next encountered at the Arena on January 17. The Hilltoppers had found themselves during the week and buried the Green under an avalanche of goals, winning by 10-1 in a beautiful display of hockey. The next Friday found Blake journeying to S. P. A. where they swamped their traditional rivals with a seven-goal assault. The Brown and White dominated the play throughout the game, in spite of numerous penalties and held the Soldiers scoreless. Confidently, the squad traveled to Shattuck on February 1, where, much to their surprise, they found the hardest battle of the season awaiting them. The Shads played inspired hockey, and although the Blakesters pressed their 103 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN = offensive advantage, the regular game ended in a 1-1 deadlock, and the issue was not decided until late in the last overtime session when the Hilltoppers finally scored to register a 2-1 triumph. The second game with West on February 7 resulted in a scoreless draw. An improved Green sextet found the Blakesters sadly in need of practice due to the cold weather; and the game was fought on even terms, with West narrowly missing a score in the final minute of play. A poorly cleared rink hampered the Blake attack in the return game with St. Thomas on February 11. However, had not the Tommy goalie worn at least a dozen rabbits' feet on his charmed person, the Hilltoppers would have chalked up a far more impressive total than the lone marker which was their narrow margin of victory. Two days later the Blakesters handed Cretin a 3-0 setback, the game being rough but never in doubt. Again the forwards were hampered by snow, especially the little drift which the Cretin goalie erected in front of his cage. Smarting under their previous setback at the Hilltoppers' hands, a vastly improved S. P. A. squad traveled to the Arena on February 14. However, Blake was still the better team and emerged victorious by a 2-0 verdict after a fast and well-played game. A crushing defeat of Shattuck brought the season to a close on February 19. The Hilltoppers were decidedly on their game, and their brilliant passing and shooting amassed a total of five goals while the Soldiers went scoreless never seriously threatening the Blake nets. In this game, nine senior lettermen played their last hockey for the school. In reviewing the individual players, we must confess that Goalie Rider was probably prevented from becoming a star in the nets by the impregnable defense presented by Captain John Lauritzen and his partner, Dick Dobson, whose brilliant play earned him the Dartmouth Hockey Trophy. Ham Luther and John Brooks were dependable alternates at the blue line. The first forward line of Burton, Atkinson, and Wyer was especially potent in the scoring column with the latter carrying off top honors for the season in this department. Burton completed his third year of hockey without a penalty, while Atkinson's flashy play stamped him as a next year's star. The other line of Wells, Brooks, and Dobson was a power on defense, being unscored upon. Bruce Dayton developed into capable reserve for any position on either line. 104 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Front Row: Fisher, Purdy, Campbell, Mills, Bowman, Dayton, Michelson.

SWIMMING UNDER the able leadership of Captain Mills the Blake swimming team climbed a long way up the comeback trail, to approach the winning form of the teams turned out during the heyday of Blake swimming a few years ago. Defeats by the strong Shattuck and West High School tanksters were bitter pills to swallow, but a pair of victories over the Carleton frosh, coupled with triumphs over many city high schools, helped to offset these losses. Captain Mills, by virtue of his outstanding performance in the diving department as well as in the free style, was the high point man of the season. In recognition of his value to the team and of his personal ability in the water, he was awarded the Arthur Cup. This cup is awarded to that member of the swimming team who has shown the greatest improvement in swimming during his stay on the team. David Heskett, second only to Mills in number of points scored, won the Guy Thomas Trophy, given to the boy who has done the most to further the interests of swimming in Blake School. Heskett's excellent work in the breast stroke made victory practically certain in that event. Ted Colman, the other breast stroker, did very well in his field. He was rather green this year but by diligent practice he promises to develop into a point winner in his specialty. 105 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN In addition to Heskett and Mills the third man lost by graduation was Inky Campbell. Inky was not an amazing swimmer, but he did his best in every meet, gaining several places for the team. The job of swimming the strenuous 220-yard swim was assigned to George Clifford and Bob Thomson. George acquitted himself nobly while Thomson, a newcomer, also deserves praise. Clifford was also a member of the relay team where his ability to propel himself rapidly through the water stood him in good stead. John Clark, continuing his improvement in the back stroke, aided the team materially in that department. Next year John should be of greater worth to the team. His partner in the backstroke. Nelson Drake, was another new man. His work was indeed encouraging. This year Bob Michelson, a promising prospect of the year before, fulfilled all predictions made for him. Bob did his part in the gaining of victories for Blake. A large number of new swimmers were on the team last season. Some have already been mentioned. The others, such as Sam Bowman, Charles Thompson, and Wallace Dayton performed exceptionally well. This large number of first year swimmers is truly encouraging as it means seasoned material for the years to come. Of course, many boys who came to the pool failed to receive letters. These deserve commendation, for those in the background are an integral part of the foundation of any team. Again this year Dr. Michelson very generously gave another gift to the team. He supplied each man with a brown and white towel. This gift was not only appropriate but also added a smart touch to the appearance of the team. Much credit is due to John Hartmann and Mr. Bosanko for the showing of the team. The names of these men have been linked with Blake swimming since its beginning, and they are still continuing in that line. The quality of the teams speaks for the ability and worth of these two men. Last but not least Managers Palm and von Kuster should be complimented for their efforts. A manager's job is not an easy one, yet these boys fulfilled their duties efficiently and cheerfully. 106 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Rider Wyer Mr. Cleveland Douglas Burton TENNIS ALTHOUGH it is rather early in the season to make any accurate prediction as to the final standing of the Tennis team, a returning trio of three year letter-men from last year's undefeated aggregation seems to insure another long column of victories As has been the practice in past years, the positions on the team are being determined by a peg tournament; and at present the lineup includes Wyer, Captain Rider, and Burton in the singles berths in that order, while the doubles pairs consist of Wyer and Rider at number one, Burton and Douglas at number two. However, this standing is at best uncertain as Luther and Atkinson are constantly threatening the leaders. To date the netmen have garnered four victories in five starts. Although the team dropped the opener to Roosevelt by the narrow score of three to two after being within a single point of victory, it made a strong comeback to whip St. Thomas by four to one, and then blanked De La Salle five to nothing. A mediocre S. P. A. squad was soundly trounced by a six to nothing count, and the Blakesters swamped a fast aggregation from Concordia with a five to nothing whitewashing. As the Call O' Pan goes to press, the team is optimistically looking forward to the matches with Shattuck and the return engagement with Roosevelt in which it hopes to gain a much anticipated revenge. 107 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN Peddie Dayton Lauritzen Thompson Mr. Glenn GOLF AT the opening of the season, Mr. Glenn found four lettermen back from last year and also several other potential candidates for the team. The lettermen were Captain John Lauritzen, Don Peddie, Bruce Dayton, and Charles Thompson. Those who will give the letter veterans stiff competition for the four berths on the team are Richard King, Telford Thompson, Malcolm Moore, Tom Swanson, and Leonard Eaton. Thus far in the season the Golf team has defeated Central, tied St. Louis Park, and lost to Shattuck. However, return games with the above schools have been scheduled as well as additional meets with West High, Gustavus Adolphus, and others. If the Golf team enjoys any degree of success, much credit is due Captain Lauritzen and Coach Glenn. Lauritzen has been a consistent point winner for three years. Mr. Glenn has devoted much time and energy to the improvement of the playing, not only of the first team members but of all the squad. The success of past Golf teams is a great tribute to Mr. Glenn. The Golf team is indebted to Dr. Michelson for his donation of a golf bag to the winner of a handicap tournament to be held during the spring. There will also be the tournament for the Michelson Trophy which was presented to the school last year. 108 THE 1936 CALL O' PAN BROWN AND WHITE LAST year a new Brown and White system to go into effect in the fall of 1935, was accepted. The purpose of the new plan was to create a greater interest in intra-mural athletics in that a student would remain on the same side throughout his stay at Blake. Last fall the Athletic Director, with the advice of the different coaches, divided the school into even groups, and each squad elected a captain. Dave Heskett was chosen leader of the Whites, while Sam Fahr guided the Browns. New boys at Blake are placed on one of the two teams at the close of the football season. In upper school football the non-lettermen of the Whites defeated their opponents 13 to 0, while the Brown lower school team swamped the Whites 20 to 0. The Browns carried off a majority of the Touchball games, a new feature this year. In the ski meet the Brov ns were again victorious in the upper school, but in the lower school the White skiers outpointed their com petitors by a large margin. In Basketball the upper school Whites won both games by big scores. But the lower school games were won by the Browns. The Field Day and the Baseball game are to be held this spring and will decide the winner for the year. At the time the Call O' Pan goes to press the standings are as follows: Whites 125, Browns 95. Marked failures in the first year trial of the new plan were the omission of the annual Brown and White Ice Carnival and Swimming Meet. These events are high points in winter intra-mural activities and are enjoyed by the school. In future years it is hoped that these contests will not be slighted. The Torch in an editorial this spring suggested that an amount be set aside by the A. A. to sponsor all intra-mural events and that the A. A. president or Athletic Director conduct the contests. All in all the Brown and White system has been fairly successful during its first year and promises to become an important part in Blake athletics. 109 � THE 1936 CALL O' PAN 110 Mr. Glenn's A Team Mr. Strickland's “B Team Mr. Bittinger’s C'' Team THE 1936 CALL O' PAN COEFFICIENTS 1935 IN the Coefficient football games, the Blake teams amassed a total of 18% points to 11 % for the Saint Paul Academy. If the Brown and White baseball teams can maintain this margin over the cadets in the games this Spring, the Dayton Cup will be presented to the school for permanent ownership. The cup was to be given to that school which wins the inter-school Coefficient competition for five years. Blake has outpointed the Academy for four consecutive years. The results of the first football encounter with the S. P. A. coefficients this fall was not very encouraging for Blake. Mr. Glenn's A team suffered a humiliating defeat, 26-6. The B team won the only Blake victory of the day, 6-0. It was only in the closing minutes of this game that Captain Robb scored on a linebuck from the three yard line. In a very exciting game the C team tied the Academy eleven, 13-13. Trailing by a score of 13-6 at the start of the final period, Mr. Bittinger's Death Valley'' aggregation gathered power and drove down the field in series of smashing drives to score and then make the extra point by rushing. By virtue of the S. P. A. A team victory and the C team tie, the Academy led by the narrow margin of 2J 2 points. However, in the second meeting between the rival Coefficients, Blake fared much better. Staging a brilliant and almost impossible comeback against seemingly insurmountable odds, the Brown and White “A team nosed out its opponents, 13-12. Doubtlessly, the S. P. A. material was far superior, but Mr. Glenn's eleven won because of thorough coaching and because of a driving will to win. The C team, playing on their own field, Death Valley defeated the opposing eleven, 20-0. Neither team was able to score until the third quarter. In this period a Blake pass resulted in a touchdown. The morale of the Academy team was broken, and the Blakesters rushed two more scores across the goal line before the game ended.

SEXTON COMPANY INSURANCE Eleventh Floor, McKnight Building MAin 3501 COMPLIMENTS OF marsh Mclennan GENERAL INSURANCE 147 Northwestern Bank Building THE 1936 CALL O' PAN FINAL EXAM (WITH ANSWERS) For All Blake Students Q. Why are BERWIND BRIQUETS barrelshaped? A. Because a barrel-shaped briquet makes a porous fire bed—which is absolutely necessary in order to have a free and natural draft. Each briquet is moulded in a huge revolving press which shapes them out under a pressure of 5,000 pounds per square inch. Their unique rounded sides and beaded edges give the fire a chance to breathe. Q. Are BERWIND DUSTLESS BRIQUETS easy to use? A. Yes—because each briquet weighs only 21 2 ounces they are remarkably easy to handle. Even a child can fire them without stress or strain. And if reasonable care is given to draft controls, you will get maximum satisfaction and efficiency from this fine fuel. Q. Are BERWIND BRIQUETS clean and free from dust? A. BERWIND BRIQUETS always were an exceptionally clean fuel. Berwind has now installed new equipment to dust treat briquets, making them even cleaner and eliminating dust and dirt from your home. Q. Do they make an ash? A. They bum to a small amount of powdered ash which is so light that it's no task at all to clean it out. Q. Are they adaptable for my type of Heating Plant? A. BERWIND DUSTLESS BRIQUETS are equally effective in the furnace, the parlor or circulating heater, the cook stove and the grate, or practically any other type of domestic heating plant. Q. Why are BERWIND DUSTLESS BRIQUETS economical to use? A. Because while burning they go through a coking process and EXPAND IN SIZE. And because they are made from the purest part of No. 3 Pocahontas coal. Q. How long have BERWIND BRIQUETS been on the market? A. They have been tried, thoroughly tested and found to be perfectly satisfactory over a period of 22 years. During that time, thousands of fuel consumers have proved to themselves that BERWIND BRIQUETS are NOT an experiment but that they do give greater heating satisfaction at a lower fuel cost for the year. Q. Will they hold my fire over night? A. BERWIND DUSTLESS BRIQUETS burn to a bed of pure coke, are consumed very slowly and easily hold a fire over night, if properly checked. In many instances. they have kept a fire for 36 hours or longer with practically no attention. Q. Will they give me quick heat? A. BERWIND BRIQUETS ignite easily and develop a hot fire in a remarkably short time. Q. How much do they cost? A. The price is remarkably low for such a fine fuel—especially when you consider that there is NO WASTE—ALL HEAT and very little ashl Q. Where can I buy them? A. BERWIND DUSTLESS BRIQUETS are sold by practically all reputable coal merchants.
