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 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 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
