He has devoted a great amount of time to the problems of the class and of the individual boys. All of the members of the class felt perfectly free to consult Mr. Cleveland on their own particular difficulties. In our Junior year he watched closely ami developed our extracurricular activities, and in our Senior year he paid careful attention to scholastic guidance. His experience and advice proved to be of invaluable aid when the time came for the selection of colleges and the problems of the next four years. We probably shall not appreciate fully the wisdom of his work until some years later. The graduating class of 11)37 takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Cleveland sincerely for his friendly interest and sympathetic counsel so unselfishly rendered during the past years. Mi THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 History of the Class of I ft.'t 7 The history of the class of 1937 is not startling, and in several years it will become obscured along with the stories of the other classes. But in that obscurity we shall take pleasure, for only then shall we be a true part of the school. If we were to go back to that well-known dreary September morning, to Miss MacDonald's first grade room, we could find but one member of our present class, namely. Charles I)avenj ort Cook. But by the time we reached Miss Sherin's room on the second floor, two more had been added—Bob Thomson and Steve Andrus. We made Viking paper ships, we played soccer in the yard, and we had milk and crackers at recess. After live years of this sequestered life, we were at last ready for the “Big School. And we did reach the ‘‘Big School, a bit dazed perhaps. Why, look here! We now have J. B. Bean, a little fellow with pink hair. Don Peddie of sports page fame, and Bob “Mique. We all went out for the “C team, and most of us made our letters. This was Mr. Bittinger's first year, and ours was the first “Death Valley team. Several were in the choir, and a few of us were in the orchestra. That year “Ped took the scholastic honors. The following year we had several additions to our number—Jack Bisscll, Tom Oakes, and Paul von Kuster. That fall we had fifteen men on the “B Burk How: Rosen berry. Cook. Bissell. Mr. Cleveland.

Another year passed and now watch us go—we’re third formers. Our ranks were augmented by Thomases Charlton and Spencer. We were well represented on both the “A and the “B” coefficient teams. Our interests were now beginning to expand. Whew! here we are way down here at the bottom of the Upper School. Lockers and study halls change. Our class is now beginning to take shape. Gale Burton, the versatile athlete, and Jack Youngquist were added to our numbers. Already we had two or three men on the varsity squads. We find Bean getting his letter on the “A football team, and Peddie. Thompson. Youngquist. and von Kuster doing likewise on the “B team. The story of our Sophomore year was much the same. We had several men on the varsity, though no one received a letter. The list of “B” lettermen was repeated on the “A” team. Burton took both hockey and tennis letters. Rosen-berry also received a tennis letter. Michelson and Clark did likewise on the swimming team, and Chuck Thompson and Peddie on the golf team. The years are slipping steadily by. and our time is approaching—we’re already Juniors. Three additions were made to the class. They were Chuck Thompson. Hank Hibbard, and Ralph Rosenberry. We had three varsity lettermen—Bean. Bissell. and Rosenberry. Burton again made the hockey and tennis teams; and swimming letters went to Michelson. Thompson. Clark, ami Thomson. Charlton was the only one to make his baseball letter. Rosenberry did the same on the tennis team, and Peddie and Thompson on the golf team. Bean, Clark. Oakes, Thompson, and Andrus were in the Glee Club. On the Publications Board we had Oakes, Peddie, Andrus, and Cook. In the Union we were represented by Bissell. Bean, and Rosenberry and on the Council by Bean. Rosenberry was the only member of the Junior class on the Debating team. Andrus. Bean, Cook, and Thompson were in the play. Finally we reach our last year—we’re Seniors. To tell the story of this year would for the most part be a long ami uninteresting list of activities and offices. There are eighteen of us. ft is really a rather motley group. We have our athletes, our scholars, scientists, orators, actors, and musicians. But few of us really excel. It’s just a group of boys. “Average you may call it. but steady— and in that we take pride. 18 THE CALL O’PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • llourno Steve Andrus joined the class of ’37 in the first form and lias been studying ever since. His ability to skip lunch in order to study has astonished the school, and during the exams he has been the envy of every other boy. Steve’s particular field seems to be English, in which course he amazes Mr. Cleveland with his original discoveries in the line of orthography. The vice-presidency of the Junior class was held by “Andy” and in the year 1036-37 he succeeded to the office of Senior class president. He was a member of the swimming squad this spring. He also held the presidency of the rather intangible but none the less existent Camera Club. He was an officer in both the Glee Club and the Dramatic Association, a t nion member, and the important work of the Press Club was intrusted to him. Haverford, in case you have not heard of it. is a college, and appears to be the lucky one to secure Steve. If. after due research, he manages to discover the locality of this college, he will undoubtedly graduate with high honors. in THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • John IKoynfoii Hoan II igging through kindergarten diaries of Northrop Seniors, we chanced upon numerous scribbled remarks about a naughty little boy and were struck by the realization that at last we had found the birth and primary education of that carousing Caruso and Teutonic titan of ’37, J. Boynton Bean. Once here at Blake, he put his nose to the grindstone and soon became a leader in many school activities. The proboscis which suffered in this ordeal now adorns quite a few pages of this book. He has been a Union man and student advisor for two successive years, and he has been president of the Cilee Club and Dramatic Association. He has been a member of the Student Council for two years, and he has functioned as one of the regular members of that coldly efficient Lower School waiters crew. In athletics his name can be found on the list of football lettermen for the last two years. When this chortling chickadee takes wings or flies away from our nest among the oaks on the hill, he will transfer his allegiance to Amherst—another small college man.

Jack was as sincere and loyal to Blake as any of his predecessors, but he always carried out his job in a light-hearted but effective way. Needless to say his job was well performed, as can easily he seen by reviewing the record of the past year. Besides the above mentioned office. Jack also was famous as captain of Blake’s “traveling gridiron squad.” In spite of strikes, N.H.A., and depressions, Jack kept the store “off the rocks,” managed to under-sell most competitors, and still make a worthwhile profit. Our “Jack of all trades” displayed further talent in lending his dramatic ability to the plays and the operetta by working in both productions as a stage hand and an off-stage sound effects man. On the baseball and hockey teams he lent his herculean efforts to overcome the various obstacles put up bv Blake’s opponents. A Union man. Student Advisor, and White captain, Jack is headed for Williams where he will continue to do his share in making the Blake torch burn brightly.

Throughout these years, he has established himself as one of the greatest all-around athletes that the Brown and White has ever had. lie started out with a splendid coefficient record and ended with five seasons of service on both the tennis and hockey squads. This year he captained the latter and managed the former. In the fall he culminated several seasons of hard work on the scrubs by making his football letter. He was awarded the Dartmouth Hockey Trophy for his outstanding achievements in that sport. Also, he found time to place fourth in the National Skiing Championship at Bush Lake in the winter. He served as one of the regular Upper School waiters, and he took second place in the Fifth Form Declamation contest two years ago. Gale was one of the hardest working and best-liked fellows in the Senior Class, and we all expect to see him capture new laurels at the college of his choice, fair Harvard. Blake will always remember him as one of the finest of sportsmen and greatest of athletes. 44 19 3 7 ..........THE CALL O'PAN • — ■ - — -— — ... ---------= All of us know him as “Slug. ’ I he inspiring baseball leader with the .150 batting average in his Junior year. When this book goes to press, the final averages for the current season will not have been compiled, but we will venture a guess that his average will show a considerable gain. Last fall he won his letter on the football team, and this winter he was awarded a letter in hockey. He joined the newly-organized basketball team after the close of the hockey schedule and soon became one of the guards on the first team. Slug was a member of the t’nion and a regular Lower School waiter. Academically, he has left a very creditable record behind him. lie was a reporter on the Publications Board and came close to making the honor roll on several occasions. All in all, he has certainly done his share in school activities, and we are sad to relate that he is a confirmed woman-hater. After due consideration, he has decided that lie will make the trek to Hanover next fall to complete his education. THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 lolin Hurl Clark W ho among us has not fallen before MouseV ever-present Leica Camera? This instrument recorded many embarrassing poses, which stand forth in the Lens Shots section of the Call o Pan, for its owner. This gentleman, paddle-maker, and swat-giver extraordinary, has allowed his force to be felt in the dull, but rather invigorating Senior pastime of administering chastisement. He has been a letter winner on the swimming team for three seasons and his prowess in golf is only too well known to his weekly victim, Shuff Thomson. As an Upper School waiter, few can match his ability to bump this writer on the head with a tray and leave absolutely the smallest dessert. We claim that John has been the only member of the Senior class who has been able to laugh his way through all of his days at Blake. Nothing ever seems to disturb him. He bears the ironic verbal attacks of Mr. Iiodgkinson and the persistent lulling voice of Mr. Bittinger with absolute indifference. This amateur scientist and choir member of long standing is going to Amherst. 24 THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • Xext in our list is that man of the world, that great actor. C. Davenport Cook. No one in the Senior Room seemed as continually worried about something as Dav. And yet he had that happy faculty of being able to sit down and really concentrate on anything. Perhaps this explains his high scholastic standing. 11 is record of participation in school activities and functions is second to few. Starting in the I ower School we find his scholastic record high and his places on coefficient teams many. He then started his Publications career, and this year culminated his service by being the Managing Editor on the Publications Board. lie has had a lead in the annual plays for the last two years, and this spring he was in the operetta. For two years he has been a waiter. Athletically, we notice that he won his letter on the swimming team and this spring managed the baseball squad. As a side line, Dav took up the game of squash and was soon able to match shots with the best of them. “C. D.” intends to follow his brother’s footsteps at Princeton. Enteral Wake 19Jo “Dav,” C. D.

He seemed to adopt Chemistry as a special field of concentration, and many of the boys firmly believe that he was the author of the text book on that subject. Last fall he earned his letter in football, playing a standout game as one of the regular tackles. For two years he has been one of the most ardent supporters of the | opulnr winter sport, skiing; and this year with the advent of skiing as a regular sport here, some of his fondest hopes were realized. He drafted himself into the operetta. “Ichabod Crane, ’ as soon as he found that it was to be given in conjunction with Northrop. In view of the fact that since then he has consistently refused to be associated with the Glee Club, his actions are incriminating.

In Biology “Mique has astounded the class by his absolute lack of information concerning dermatology. His exploits with another member of the class on hunting trips are indeed well known. What did they get? Well, they always managed to get back somehow. “Mique” has been a Lower School advisor for two years, and was a member of the Union this year. He was Secretary of the A. A. board, manager of the football team, and was on the swimming squad for four seasons. He captained the tanksters this winter and led them through one of their most successful schedules in some time. In addition to all this, he found time to be the Circulation Manager and “Noise and Smoker” for the Torch, and his share in the work of the Call () Pan has been no small one. In his Junior year he was on the J-S dance committee, and in connection with that we might add that he is the recognized Blake authority on the subject of swing music.

He is a charter member of the Glee Club (except for one year when he lost his voice). and was president of the class during the third form year in 1932-33. During the same year he had his name inscribed on the plaque in the lower study, and during his entire rise through the upper forms, he has constantly been outstanding. Under the careful supervision of Warren Palm he was trained for the difficult job of Business Manager of the Publications, and as a tribute to his success, one need merely glance into the back of this book. Tom blushed easier than any other Senior and afforded us all no end of amusement at his embarrassment. lie got himself into more outside activities and showed so much spirit and loyalty towards Blake that the student body elected him to the Council. Tom was property manager of the Dramatic Association, and a waiter this year and hockey manager last year. Tom intends to follow his father’s footsteps and spend the next four years in far away Hanover.

Scholastically Ped has ranked near the top, and one year he had his name engraved upon the class shield. On the coefficients he had a fine record as both a baseball and a football player. During the past three years he has won golf letters and this year captained the team. For seven winters he has thrown a “lop-sided pumpkin around the ice box, and this year he realized one of his fondest hopes when he played on the first team to represent Blake in that sport for twelve years. He was a Student Advisor, won the Williams Theme Contest, was a Union member, and was the Editor-in-chief of the Publications Board. He always wrote the longest History biographies and starred in English. He is following the track of last year's editor to Harvard, ami the last two months of the school year have convinced us that he seems to have done a good job in imitating that worthy gentleman in outside activities.

Considering the fact that he has been in Blake hut two years, his progress scholastically has been remarkable. In a short time he developed into one of those rare products—a Bittinger prodigy. lie hacked every school function loyally and lent his every ability to Blake. For two years he has been a member of the swimming squad and last fall, in spite of a decided handicap in his lack of weight and size, he was a candidate for the varsity football team. This was just another example of his conscientious endeavor to do his best for the school. His greatest personal triumph was on election night last fall. However, he was as gracious in victory as any one could be. “Purd” is headed for the University of Minnesota and is studying to become a diplomat. The Senior Room will lose a well known character and amateur diplomat. He has just begun to find himself, and watch his smoke in the university. AH we can say is that everybody wishes the best of luck to a good fellow. so 19 3 7 ..........THE CALL O'PAN • ___ — ■ == The West's, or more specifically the great state of Idaho's, representative in the graduating class is Ralph Rosen berry, the young lochinvar. He entered Blake in 1931 and in the seasons of 1933 and 1935 won his letter in football. His kicking and ball-carrying make him Amherst's big threat for the coming fall. Rosy got his start as a great speaker on the 1936 debating team, and the Seniors have suffered silently ever since. 11 is knowledge of the sporting world is second only to Don Peddie's, and undoubtedly he would make a good football prognosticator if he were less inclined toward the “home” teams. Ralph has for the past year been a Student Advisor, president of the Athletic Association, and also president of the Union. In the fall he was elected captain of the Browns. Although not in the Glee Club, Rosy occasionally favors his classmates with some love songs, and he manages to keep the whole class amazed at his ability to carry on a long distance courtship. Ralph expects to sell his prowess in basketball, tennis, and football to the highest bidder, which may prove to be Amherst. si THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • Thomas A late, but certainly welcome addition to the class of ’.‘{7 was Tom Spencer. Tom was no stranger to most of the older boys, because he spent three years in the Lower School with the graduating class, lie was president of the class in the third form and won the Lower School general information contest in that year. When he rejoined us early this spring, he astounded almost everybody by the course of subjects he outlined for himself. There was a slight tendency toward mathematics. This schedule kept Tom busy, but he soon got into many school activities. He is not the first Hilltopper to answer to the name of Spencer, for most of us cannot help but remember brother George. However, Tom has decided that he will not follow his brother's footsteps at Williams, for he has enrolled at Old Nassau for next fall. If he can manage to live a way from that great institution, Blake House, he will add to Blake’s glory at Princeton. He is certain to make many friends and continue his scholastic career in a fine fashion. Enteral Wake 10-17 Tom” Princeton “Women luive tonjrues of rraft. ami hearts of guile.

He has been a member of the choir for a long time, and whenever one hears the mention of the Blake orchestra, it is synonymous with the name of Thompson. For three years he has won his letter on the golf squad, and this last season he was the playing manager. For two years he has been one of the mainstays of the swimming team. However, perhaps his greatest claim to fame is his work in dramatics, because in the last two productions he was outstanding. Mrs. Whittaker found him of invaluable service when a mature person was needed for one of the plays. Also, he had parts in “The Two Vagabonds and “Ichabod Crane.” He has served as a waiter for several years, and this year he was the headwaiter of the Upper School. He carried out this responsibility in a highly efficient manner. Chuck has decided to avail himself of some of the advantages of the University of Minnesota and it is there that he intends to go next fall to complete his education.

There the name was originated, and it has flourished during the years. lie has been known as the boy with the talented toe. because for years “ShufT practiced diligently on his place and drop kicking.

Turning away from his athletic achievements, we find the name von Kuster listed as a reporter for the Publications Board. Also, he has culminated his service as a waiter by loafing through a year of head waiter work. His life is centered around his “Old Iron, which we are certain he will be glad to see break into print. It will certainly break into something else very soon. He was a member of the Union and was vice-president of the Senior Class.

History appears to be his favorite subject, for he is one of the favored and envied few in the “nucleus.” As yet Jack is a confirmed woman-hater, but no doubt his dream-girl will soon appear. The wonders of the Gopher state have intrigued him so much that he plans to stay here and go to the U. “Quist” this year was an officer in the Dramatic Association and it was due to his efforts that there was such a large audience at the presentation. At the same time he furnished his full share of box-office appeal by taking part in the plays themselves. Jack has been treasurer of the class of ’37 for so long that whenever his classmates see him coming towards them with a mercenary gleam in his eye. they look for a place to hide. This spring he won new glory by taking first prize in the Thorpe Cup contest. so THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 Sixth Form As Juniors the class has entered into the many activities of the school and has been represented on all of the athletic teams.

Duff has been the leader of the group with an average which has been over ninety all year. Tn sports the fourth form is very active. McCarthy was on the varsity football squad. Neils, Dorsey, Hancock, Blue, La Bounta, Flannery, Dayton, J. Spencer, and Curtin won their letters in “A football. Duff and J. Burton won “B letters. Many of the boys in the form swam or played hockey, and the form will doubtless be well represented in the spring sports. For the second successive year the class wishes to pay tribute to Mr. Savage for his work as class advisor. Bertram Mokros President Hark How: Sheldon, McCarthy, Ilemenway. Frankfurter. Flank.

Baston. vice-president, and Staev. secretary and treasurer. Fourteen new boys joined the class of ’41 this fall and Frank Lane from California came in during the winter term bringing our number to thirty. The thin! formers did very well on their res| ective teams. In football the “A” team swamped its S. P. A. opponents 84-0 and 47-0. The “B team did almost as well winning by 47-7 and 14-7. During the winter season many played in the lower school hockey games, and the baseball future looks bright for both the ‘A” and “B” teams. Due to a rather recent rule, a few of our classmates have been able to go to town for swimming practise. Although scholastically we were outdone by the first and second forms, Robert Maxeiner constantly made first honors, with (iluek, Prcus, and Fansler close behind him. In the choir we are represented by Bowen and Maxeiner. Our public speaking this year was in the form of informal sessions with chosen and extemporaneous speeches. We wish to thank Mr. Burville for his able and understanding leadership throughout the year. John Fansler. President Hark How: Maxeiner, Maul. Strong. Farr, Drake. NY.

John Hawkins, Lee McCutchen, Sayer Rotering, Plymouth Shedd, and Louis Zelle. Heffelfinger was chosen president, Lyman, vice-president, and Gale, secretary and treasurer. This fall the members of the second form who went out for football secured positions on the “B and “C” teams with one boy, Pete Bissell, on the “A” team. During the winter term many of the second formers went out for the lower school hockey team, and many played in the games with S. P. A. This spring the second form was represented on the “A”, “B and “C” baseball teams. Bissell is manager of the “A” team and others have acquired positions on the various other squads. Although we have not yet won the scholarship plaque, we have kept up to the rest of the school in our work. At the beginning of the spring term Kinibal Kaufman entered our class. Under the fine supervision of Mr. Owen, our class-advisor, we feel we have done our share in the activities of the school, and we wish to thank him for his willing help.

More than ever, it departed from its old policy of being the disciplinary body of the school and became an advisory group. Again it performed valuable services to Mr. Alder, the faculty, and especially the student body. No unusual propositions have been offered by the Council this year, but it has lent its every ability to the general success of all of the numerous school activities. The practice of having a Council member preside over the chapel service on Monday mornings has been continued this year. The Student Advisory Board, organized by the Council of the year before last, has increased the scope of its activities, and possibly there are more enlargements of its authority yet to come. As routine work, the Council has managed two dances, arranged the calendar for the school, and planned programs for different school activities. Another of the Student Council’s projects, the Brown and White system, enjoyed the most successful season of its short existence, and high hopes are held for this plan in the future. The greatest value of the Council in its present advisory capacity lies in its frequent debates and discussions. The work of this organization is perhaps not fully appreciated by the students, but the members are undoubtedly doing much to make the policies and establish the traditions of Blake.

To accomplish these aims the Union acts largely as a discussion group. Meetings are held at six o'clock on alternate Fridays as far as is possible. Following the dinner, the members withdraw to the library for the formal meeting. The program consists of old and new business, a prepared talk, an impromptu speech by a person chosen by lot, and an address by a faculty guest if there is one. An informal session follows, and this usually produces many profitable discussions concerning matters of school interest. As always, the Union Medal was given to the fifth former who excelled in the delivery of an address. At one of the last meetings of the year, the Senior papers were read, expressing the frank criticisms and praises of the school and a discussion of its problems. These papers were all constructive, and many valuable suggestions were presented. On May 48th the annual Fathers’ and Sons' banquet was held. Much credit for the Union’s success can be attributed to Mr. Lamb’s skilled guidance and untiring efforts. 0 F FIC E R S First Term Second Term President .... Rai.ph Rosenherry . . .

The advisors, who are selected by the Student Council with the approval of the faculty, are members of the upper two classes. They cooperate with the faculty advisors of the first and second forms in endeavoring to help the new boys with their difficulties and problems at Blake. Each advisor has from two to four of the younger boys placed in his charge. It is his duty to keep track of their marks and to point out possibilities for improvement. Also, the advisor tries to persuade the boys to participate in as many school activities as possible. This organization, besides the benefit to the younger boys as a result of its work, has served to promote a better and closer feeling of friendship between the older and younger fellows. The organization is still far from perfect, but it has worked so well and has made such rapid progress in the last two years that it can be expected that the work each year will become more effective in lending every possible help and encouragement to the younger boys.

At the Vesper Service t he Choir gave some fine Bach choral selections. An orchestra has l een organized which has entertained the school several times. It is hoped that with this fine start the orchestra will grow into one of the permanent organizations of tlie school. However, by far the most important work of the Music Department is the operetta. This year “Iehabod Crane.” by Mr. Avery, was given. The synopsis of the plot is given below. Act I—Iehabod Crane, the vain schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow, has dazzled the eyes of Mynheer Van Tassel with his pretensions to culture, and has found favor as a prospective son-in-law. although Mynheer’s daughter. Katrina, loves Brom, a dashing gallant of the Village. Hilda, Katrina's aunt, a rich widow from New York, visits Sleepy Hollow and is enchanted with Ichabod’s artificial airs.

Rrom, a favorite with the school children, sings them tlie legend of the “Headless Horseman '—supposed to be the ghost of a Hessian soldier who lost his head in battle and perpetually haunts the neighborhood trying to find it. Mynheer and his wife invite Ichabod to the merrymaking at their home, hoping to promote an alliance with Katrina. Ichabod prepares for the evening’s conquest with swaggering arrogance. Act 11—In the grounds of Mynheer’s estate, the minuet is danced by his guests. The two pairs of young lovers plot to have Katrina encourage Ichabod's advances, in order to humiliate him later. When he appears, they play upon his credulity with harrowing references to the Headless Horseman and certain ominous portents which they invent. The guests unit in dancing, and Ichabod prepares to press his suit with Katrina. At this point blood-curdling sounds are heard, lights flicker, and the ghostly figure of the Headless Horseman appears, pursuing the terrified Ichabod around the grounds and finally chasing him off. Brom returns from his successful hoax. Mynheer and Vrou consent to the nuptials of the young people, and Aunt Hilda in triumph leads back the crestfallen Ichabod, who is reconciled to marriage with her on hearing that she sets the most abundant table in New York.

The cover has again been made of durable material which will undoubtedly prove to be invaluable in lending permanence to the book. A high class of paper has been used to enable the photographs to appear to better advantage. The page set-up has been altered in that Senior and Organization pictures are placed at the bottom of the pages; and also silhouettes have been used. Tom Oakes, the Business Manager, has worked wonders with the ad campaign, thus making certain at an early date that there would be enough money to meet the production costs. To every advertiser and every boy who got an ad, the Publications Board of 11)37 wishes to extend its sincere thanks. The boys who led in the Call O’ Pan ad contest deserve especial praise for their work. Tor li The Publications Board of 19S(� -S7 has not made any radical changes in the Torch, but has spent the year in consolidating, in a general sense, the improvements of the last few years. Then the Torch was much in need of reform, and certain changes had to be made immediately. A new framework had been made, and this year’s Board merely attempted to add a little polish. The Torch was given a different size and was printed on a better type of paper with a more readable print. An effort was made to reduce typographical errors to a minimum, and in this the Board feels that it was cpiite successful. The editorial department continued its advocation of a proposal of a new method for the election of the headboy and suggested a different operetta policy. 54 THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 lhkli� lo At the beginning of the Winter Term an unusually large squad turned out and began work gathering material for the annual Blake-St. Paul debate. 1'nder the expert guidance of Mr. Bittinger and Mr. Cleveland, all the available material was obtained, condensed to its essentials. and speeches were prepared. The teams of the two schools met at S. I A. for the debate on the evening of Friday, March Wth. The subject debated was: “Resolved: that the t nited States Government should own and control the armament and munitions industry. ’ The presiding officer was Mr. Oppenheimer. According to the custom brought into practice several years ago. each school was represented by two affirmative and two negative speakers. The Blake members were Theodore F. Carter and James B. Hannah, affirmative, and Alan Anderson and Frank Donaldson, negative; Ralph Rosen berry and Thomas Oakes served as alternates. Since there were no judges, the task of judging was submitted to the members of the audience and was done by ballot. The audience judged that the affirmative were the more effective speakers, but despite this, the negative, at the end of the debate, had won over many votes from the affirmative. The debate was quite well attended and proved to be interesting because of the appropriateness of the question. It is hoped that future debates will be as interesting ami well presented as this year’s. Standing: Oakes. Mr. Hittinger. Mr. Cleveland Seated: Itosenberry, Tusler. Anderson, Carter. Hannah.

And in the school year 1936-1037 a widespread program was arranged for all of the boys in the school. This is a type of training which every school cannot offer to its students, and many Blake graduates have declared that the practice which they had here was invaluable to them. Seniors are required to make an address in the morning Chapel twice yearly, while Juniors must do the same once. A decided improvement in organization and technique has been noted. This can be attributed to constant drill in all of the seven forms. The first and second forms meet under the supervision of Mr. Horne, while the third form is guided by Mr. Lamb. The fourth form receives its practice in the World Problems Class, which is conducted by Mr. Bittinger. The upper three forms meet once a week under the direction of Mr. Alder. The Williams Theme Contest was held on November 19th and first place was given to Donald Peddie for his “Autobiography of a Silver Dollar,” while Boynton Bean took the second prize with his paper entitled “Test Pilot.” In this contest all of the Seniors wrote upon subjects of their own choice, and Mr. Cleveland selected those to be presented before the school. The Fifth Form Declamation Contest for the Union Medal, occurring on April 13th. was won by Leonard Eaton who delivered “His Reply to Breckenridge,” by Edward Baker. Honorable mention was awarded to George Hill for “Edward’s Farewell Address.” The Wilson Cup Contest, open to all Lower Schoolers, was won by Franklin Lane whose piece was “The Independence Bell,” and William Dobson’s “Daniel Webster’s Reply to Congress” was awarded second prize. Scarcely enough can ever be said concerning the value of the practice received in this training in speaking before an audience. These numerous contests offer fine opportunities for the boys to develop their forensic talent while they are here at Blake. This skill will always prove to be an invaluable asset in college and in later life. .� « THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 Waiters 11 is a cherished custom of the school to have the hoys serve as waiters for the Upper and Lower Schools during the noonday meal. These positions are much coveted, and there are many more applicants than the total number of those who are used. This long list exemplifies the spirit of comradship and fellowship underlying the school life. The regular waiters receive all of their meals free, and the occasional waiters are paid for their work. The headwaiters. who have many additional services to perform, in both the Lower and Upper Schools, receive extra payment. The waiters wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation for the excellent and efficient work of the maids and cooks in the kitchen. They, the waiters, fully understand and realize the amount of preparation neces- y sary to maintain the high quality of the meals here at Blake. And in that respect, we can scarcely say enough to praise the outstanding work of our dietitian. Miss Berglund. to whom this book is dedicated. Clark.

U. •r 7 THE CALL O’PAN 19 3 7 S«wii� r Dimi ‘r This year there have been four Senior Dinners, ami they liave been some of the most interesting features of the school year. The speakers this year have been fathers of boys in the Senior class. The purpose of these dinners, to present to the Seniors pictures of different careers and professions, has been well carried out. The first speaker was Mr. C. V. Bissell, whose address dealt with the work of architecture. He had many plans and drawings to supplement his talk. Mr. (� . A. Voungquist was the speaker at the second of the dinners, and his subject was the legal profession, in connection with which he made some interesting comments about the Supreme Court. The third was l)r. II. E. MicheUon. who spoke on the medical profession, emphasizing the preparation necessary for such a career. Mr. V. S. Peddie discussed the subject of business, giving several opinions which aroused much interest, as indicated by the questions asked. The dinners have been very well attended and have proved to be of great value to the Seniors. President Andrus and Mr. Alder deserve much credit for securing such entertaining speakers, and to those men who came, the Seniors wish to extend their thanks. Short Story dub The Short Story Club, such a popular part of the school activities during the winter months, enjoyed another successful season under the efficient guidance of Mr. Glenn. This organization, which is open only to Juniors and Seniors and which holds its meetings on alternate Sunday nights during the winter term, is one of the most enjoyable of the extra-curricular program. It is held at the homes of the various members, and this year. Tom Oakes, Paid von Kuster, Jack Bissell. Steve Andrus, and I awrenee Lucker opened their homes to the club. After Mr. Glenn read several stories, which met the enthusiastic approval of the boys, refreshments were served to complete very pleasant evenings. 58 THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 Tli« •lunior-S«� nior Prom. IfKtU On I he night of Commencement June 5, 11)30, the Woodhill Country Club furnished the location for the annual Junior-Senior Prom which closed the school year. The dance committee was composed of Bob Michelson, Paul von Kuster. Tom Oakes, and Boynton Bean. Many beautiful flowers decorated the room, and Jimmie Robb and his orchestra furnished the necessary scintillating swing tunes. The favors, bracelets for the girls and key chains for the boys, were declared a success, and the dance will be remembered as one of the best that Blake has ever had. i li r i Ml in as Ha ncr The Christinas Dance, as is usually the case, was sponsored by the Student Council. The total amount of money taken in almost covered the cost of promotion, and thus the dance incurred only a slight loss. Jimmy Robb, with his orchestra, furnished the music for the occasion. Everybody had a pleasant evening, including the committee in charge. Martha served some delicious punch in the Trophy Room during the intermissions. The orchestra put away their instruments promptly at twelve o’clock despite the pleas of the dancers. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Alder, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, ami Mr. and Mrs. Bean. Spring llnnrr The Spring Dance was postponed this year until after the Easter vacation, because it was found that too many of the boys would have been unable to attend on the scheduled date. The crowd was just about large enough to keep the dance a financial success. Dancing was done to the pleasing tunes of Bob Owens and his orchestra. Frank Donaldson and John Brooks headed the committee in charge of the dance.

M. Sheldon Treasurer, Mrs. Wadsworth A. Williams Vice President. Mrs. Lucian S. Strong Secretary, Mrs. Bkrgmann Richards There were two very interesting fall meetings of the Blake Mothers’ Association held in October, the first one being at the Junior School for the parents of the Junior students, and the other for the parents of the Country School boys, at which our President. Mrs. A. M. Sheldon very ably presided. A new plan for collecting the dues was adopted—that of including them on the school bill. It has proved most satisfactory, and one hundred and thirty-eight dollars over last year resulted—thanks to the fathers! The Country School business meeting on October 21st was followed by a program of short talks by a few of the boys who were abroad with Mr. Alder last summer, or on independent trips. Mr. Alder also added his impressions and observations of the work of the League of Nations now being carried on—all most interesting sketches. During the Fall Term, meetings were arranged by the Chairman of each class in the Junior School and each form of the Senior School At these meetings the problems arising in those groups were discussed. An executive meeting was held in April when the vote was passed to pay the remainder of the $225 scholarship from the Mothers’ Association funds and to allow, for the first time, the appropriation of $100 for the refurnishing of the Senior Room in the summer of 1987 under the supervision of Mrs. Luther S. Oakes and Mrs. Robert L. Brooks. The Annual Parents and Teachers Dinner was held on May 12 at the Country School with almost two hundred in attendance. After the dinner we adjourned to the chapel for a program of mothers’ talent, and masters’ discussions on ways and means of working together for the best interests of our boys. Mrs. Kdgar F. Zelle and Mrs. Harry G. Kuechle contributed delightfully with violin and voice: Messrs. Bittinger. Cleveland, and Ilodgkinson of the Country School, and Mr. Campbell of the Junior School gave short talks, and Mr. Alder’s talk was followed by a glimpse of Mr. Avery’s musical ambitions for the boys. Respectfully submitted. Marguerite Richards Secretary 63 THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 Hoarding lh |� � rfmoiil I' 111iniiilit: the policy inaugurated last year, the Publications Board has considered it expedient to devote space to the two dormitories. In way of primary explanation, it is necessary to state that Blake House is for the students of the Upper School, while West House lodges the boys of the Lower School. However, at times, older boys reside at the latter dormitory. Fifteen boys can be accommodated, and the two houses have been filled almost to capacity this year. Most of the boarders hail from Minnesota, but at certain times. California. Idaho, North Dakota, and Wisconsin have had representation. Many Minneapolis boys board at the dormitories in the absence of their parents and to avail themselves of skilled scholastic guidance and help from the masters in charge. In 1920 Blake officially opened its first dormitory, although some boys had been boarding at a private home near the school previous to this date. One of the masters and his wife. Mr. ami Mrs. Clough, were put in charge of this dormitory, Blake House. A few years afterward. Mr. and Mrs. Hallcnheck assumed charge. They were followed by the Geisers and the Smiths in that order. Mr. Coulter and Mr. Horne were the next of the house masters. Mr. Owen was at the Blake House for a short time. The next in succession were Mr. and Mrs. Slater.

Board, the coaches, the managers and the captains of the teams met in Mr. Cleveland’s room to decide on the budget for the athletic year of 1936-37. On a later date the program was accepted by the entire school without debate. Outstanding business during the course of the year was the debate concerning hockey as a major sport, and the purchase of a gasoline roller. For the debate, each side was represented by two speakers, and then discussion was thrown open. In a secret ballot, the affirmative failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority, ami hockey remained a minor sport. At the suggestion of the Board, various school organizations contributed to a fund which paid for the roller to be used on the tennis courts and other athletic fields. The Athletic Association is very grateful to the Publications Board and the Dramatics Association for their contributions which made this purchase possible.

MicheUou 66 THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 • • • • Football B efore we turn to the reviews of the contests it should he said that Blake put a team on the field this season of which it can he truly proud. The team made up in spirit and determination what it lacked in weight and height. Also, a word of praise and commendation must he given to the members of the second and third teams whose hard work and loyalty were important factors in the year’s play. IKIuko 12 - Buffalo O at Buffalo on Oct. 2ml The team opened the 1986 football schedule in fine fashion by a victory over Buffalo. The Brown and White received the opening kickoff and did not relinquish the ball until Sandy Thompson had scored on an off-tackle thrust. This concluded the scoring for the first half. After repulsing a determined Buffalo threat in the second half, the Ililltoppers finally converted a Buffalo fumble into a scoring drive. Especially noteworthy in this game was the play of the entire Blake line. Illakt O - Lp Onler O at Lp tVnlor on Oct. fltli In the second encounter of the year the team held a slight advantage over their rivals, hut were unable to score.

In the second period a pass into the end zone narrowly failed to click, and gone was the best scoring chance of the game. Ix Center carried the ball out of its own territory for the first time in the fourth quarter, but they did not threaten seriously for very long. In this game the play of Sandy Thompson, von Kuster, Bean, and Charlton was outstanding. Illako � - IKr«M k O al llr M k on Oct. Iliili Playing better than in either of the two previous games, the Brown and White outplayed Breck by a fair margin. Blake’s only score came in the first quarter on a fifty yard dash by Sandy Thompson. Breck’s goal was again in danger of being crossed before the end of the first half, but their line braced and held. In the second half Blake completely dominated the play, and when the game ended, it was in the Hilltopper’s possession on the Breck six yard line. Especially brilliant in this game was Captain Jack Bissell. Illnko O - Slmttiiok IB at Slialluok on OH. 2 fill Blake met a heavy Shattuck eleven on the latter’s Homecoming Day and went down to defeat. In the second quarter a Shattuck back broke into the open behind fine interference and scampered about thirty-five yards for the first score of the game. Blake threatened in the third period, and although no score was made, most of the play was in the Soldiers’ territory. In the fourth quarter a tired Ililltopper team yielded slightly and permitted the Shads to push across their second touchdown on a run of a few yards by Nohl. The extra point was not converted and the game ended soon afterwards. Every man on the Brown and White team gave everything he had in the contest. Illakc O - S. V. A. � al $• I1. A. on Nov. 7lli The nineteenth annual football battle between Blake and S. 1 . A. was waged on a brisk November day, and in the closest kind of game, the Academy emerged victorious. The Cadets made the first serious threat when they sprung one of their backs into the open on a dash which was finally stopped deep in Brown and White territory. Before the close of the first half Blake made its most serious bid for a score on a series of running plays and passes. Finally in the fourth period the Academy began completing many passes, and soon they pushed the ball down to the Blake ten yard line. From there the ball was carried over on three running plays. Blake rallied strongly and unfurled a desperate aerial attack which almost resulted in a touchdown, but the game soon ended. Six Senior lettermen played their last game for the Brown and White. «8 Jack Bissell—.Jack completed another year of outstanding play at guard. He was awarded the Williams Cup by his teammates, which is the highest honor a Blake football player can receive. Sandy Thompson—Sandy’s performance at fullback was one of the highlights of the season. The confidence of the team in electing him as next year’s captain speaks for his leadership. Hank Hibbard—Hank started slowly, but by the end of the season he stood out in the line like a lighthouse in a storm. Persistence and hard work made him invaluable to the team. Tom Charlton—Tom went through several years of hard work on the scrubs, but he “arrived this year to become a bulwark in the scrappy Hilltopper set of forwards. Paul von Kustkh—Pinky deserves a world of praise for winning his varsity letter, for he was probably the lightest player Blake ever had. Give him forty pounds and he could make any college team. Gale Burton—Gale came along the hard road from the scrubs to win his letter with a display of ability which belied his weight. Boynton Bean—Beano climaxed a great football career at Blake by winning his second varsity letter. He was undoubtedly one of the lightest linemen Blake ever had. Jock Thompson—Jock was one of the real stars on the team. He was truly an all around end, and next year he should develop into a standout performer. Bob Fisher—Bob made the varsity on his first year up from the “A” team, amt he turned in a steady, consistent performance in every game. We look for big things from him next year. Monty Wells—Monty, with his drive and agility, led the backfield in many a sustained drive over the goal line this year. In his playing he carried out the tradition of a long line of Wellses. Johnny Brooks—Johnny displayed ability which gave fair warning to all that he will be a fine guard next year. He was the fastest man on the line and covered more than his share of ground. Bert Martin—Bert continued what promises to be a brilliant athletic career by winning his letter in his Sophomore year. Ilis fine natural ability and spirit were great assets to the team. Telly Thompson—Telly was a good blocker and defensive player, although he was also a fine ball handler and runner. He was not spectacular, but in the game every minute. Bill O’Connor—Bill was one of the unsung heroes. His assignment was to block for the other backs, and he proved himself to be a real pathfinder. We will hear from him next year. Nelson Drake—Nelson displayed fight and ability which earned him his letter in his Sophomore year and which should make him one of the brightest of stars in his remaining two years. Bon Michelson—Mique, as manager, probably had a more difficult job than any of his predecessors, but experience gained the year before helped him to perform his tasks in a highly efficient manner. THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 llasohaill W hen only four of last year’s lettermen returned to take their places on the ’87 squad, and no pitcher was in sight, the baseball team expected a hard season. However, after live games have been played, the prospects for an undefeated season seem very promising. Monty Wells, one of the returning lettermen and last year’s catcher, has come into his own in the pitcher’s box. while Jock Thompson has occupied the position of catcher, and they have led the team through live victories. Although almost all the games have been very close, the team shows much promise. Second base is held down by that old stand-by, Bert Martin, the man who never makes an error and who is one of the best hitters; Captain “Slug” Charlton and John Brooks, also very powerful batters and both lettermen, play left and center field respectively. George Waters has made a permanent place for himself at first base with his great agility, and Sandy Thompson is at third base. Shortstop position is held by Jack Youngquist, who, together with Martin, makes history around second base. And last, but by no means least, is right field occupied by Jack Bisscll. At the end of the fifth game, the team is batting about .€.‘{0. and Charlton. Martin, and Brooks lead the list of batting averages. As for errors, so far they have been unusually few. Hark row: Cook.

The squad next encountered the strong Concordia aggregation and emerged victorious, chalking up 8 runs to their opponents' 1. In the following game with I)e La Salle, the Hilltoppers defeated the Islanders 4 to 2. In the first of the two game series with S. 1 . A., the downriver boys provided unexpected opposition and were not subdued until four extra innings had been played. Blake pushed across one run in the 11th inning to win the game 11 to 10. The Shads were the next to fall into the Blake victory sweep, to the tune of 8 to 2. This was perhaps the most closely contested game of all of the five contests, and it took a fine Blake rally to snatch victory from defeat. With this splendid start, the baseball team, under Coach Shube Owen's expert guidance should certainly round out a very successful season. However, St. Thomas is yet to be played on their field, and there are games with De La Salle, Concordia, Shattuck. and S. I . A. remaining on the schedule. Also, there is to be a game with Minnehaha Academy, the first of its kind between the two schools.

This record speaks very well for Coach John Savage, for he had but two returning lettermen around whom to mold a team. The season opened on January 8th on the home rink against a mediocre Carleton Freshman team. Blake’s play was much better than the two-to-one score against Carleton would indicate. Numerous scoring opportunities were missed, and the lineup changed to quite a degree after this game. The next encounter took place on January 14th at Blake with West, and the game ended with a one-to-one tie. West had a scrappy team, and although its brand of hockey was not always the best, it put up a very good fight. The following Friday the Hilltoppers suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of (’retin on the Blake ice. The Soldiers made a lone score in the second period, and the game ended one to nothing in favor of Cretin. On January 41st the Blakesters defeated St. Thomas to the tune of seven to three. During this game some of the flashiest hockey ever witnessed on the Blake rink took place. Blake scored within the first thirty seconds of play, ami the Cadets did likewise fifteen seconds later and tied the score. However, a Back How: Dorsey, .1.. Stabeck, Thompson. T.. Thompson, .1..

On January 23rd the Blake hoys journeyed to Shattuck and the game ended in a scoreless tie after two overtime periods. The next game, with West High, played at Lake of the Isles, also ended nothing to nothing. The Blake team defeated its traditional rival S. 1 . A. by the score of two to one on the Academy’s ice. The snow seemed to hamper Blake's style, and several beautiful scoring opportunities were missed. With the exception of St. John’s. St. Thomas was the weakest team which the Blake boys met. On February 5th the second St. Thomas encounter took place, and the Blake pucksters scored almost at will as the live to nothing score indicates. On the next day the Blake men easily defeated the Carleton Frosh by the score of three to nothing. Blake was defeated for the second and last time on February 11th at ('retin. The contest was very interesting, for the tide of the game kept changing. However, Cretin finally became the victor at the end of the second overtime period, and the hard fought game ended with the score four to three in favor of the Soldiers. The inferior team from St. John's Academy was crushed with a score of six to nothing at the Arena on February 13th. On February 17th. Blake easily defeated a seemingly exhausted Shattuck team at the Arena. The Shads’ hockey was below that exhibited in the first game, and they suffered a four to nothing defeat. The last game of the season was with S. 1 . A. at Blake, on February 19th. and one of the major problems was that of dodging the huge puddle in the center of the rink. Captain Gale Burton scored the only goal of the game at the end of the third period. This victory over St. Paul Academy very fittingly closed the Blake season and Gale’s fifth and last year of hockey for Blake. The line of J. Thompson, Wells, and Wyman scored most of the goals, but the other line with the Burton brothers and Kingman did yeoman service in defensive play and tiring of the other team. Brooks and Bissell were the regular defensemen and Martin the regular goalie. T. Thompson. Stabeck, and Tom Charlton were very capable reserves. The managerial duties were very capably handled by Jim Dorsey. 77 THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 Swimming The climb of the swimming team begun last year was carried on by this year’s aquatic aggregation under the leadership of Captain Robert Michelson. Throughout the long season lasting from the first of December until the first of March, the swimmers suffered only two defeats. The two defeats at the hands of Shattuck and the Carleton Frosh were more than offset by the set of victories over many of the Minneapolis and St. Paul high schools, including St. Paul Central, one of the best teams in the Nort Invest. Captain Michelson swimming in the 100 yard free-style and in the 160 yard relay performed throughout the season in a fashion to be admired by the rest of the team. The encouragement he gave to the other swimmers in their respective events was responsible for a large number of the points scored by the team, and we can find no cheer loud enough to commend Michelson’s spirit. In the forty yard dash, Charles Thompson displayed ability and produced results that were beyond the farthest expectations of either the members of the team or the coaching staff. Improving rapidly in the beginning of the season and continuing to do so throughout the remainder of the schedule, he was swimming the forty in twenty flat in the last meets. Chuck took part in the Northwest Meet held at the University, and missed a second place by a very Hark row: Mr. Hartmann. Mr. Hoanko. ('lark, Drake. N.t McCarthy, Fisher, Dayton. V., Cook.

Together with Thompson in the forty was George Clifford, the captain elect for next year, who displayed ability in both the 40 and the 160 yard relay. The team could have picked no one better from their midst for next year’s captain than George Clifford, and we want to take this opportunity to wish you all the luck in the world next winter, George. The breast strokers this season were Davenport Cook. Bob Fisher, and Edward Colman. Fisher and Cook swam in the 100 yard event and Column in the 180 yard medley. These three boys were faced with tremendous odds at the beginning of the season and overcame them in a style that is to be admired. Although the breaststroke will lose a good man in Cook, who is turning Tiger next year, Fisher and Colman can be trusted to carry on nobly, and ought to suffer few, if any defeats. In the 220 yard free-style “Shuff” Thomson won many a victory this season. Swimming with “Shuff” in the 220 was Dan McCarthy, a new boy to the school this year, who showed great possibilities in the long race. In the 100 yard backstroke Nelson Drake and John Clark did a fine piece of work. John Clark, although he was carrying on many other activities at the same time as his swimming, allowed no one to forget that he was in there fighting. Nelson Drake with hard work and constant enthusiasm made himself the pride and joy of the team, and with the wonderful start he got this year, promises to be another Clark Fletcher before he leaves the school for other parts. The diving end was held up as the strongest part of the whole team by Sandy Thompson and Lawrence Lucker. Sandy, who is recognized as one of the best divers in the entire Northwest went through the entire season without a single defeat in his event, and we all want to see him take first place in the Northwest Meet next winter. Lawrence Lucker just started diving this year and made a showing that surprised every one. The other members of the team showed that fine spirit characteristic of Blake teams and we must give loud and lusty cheers to Purdy swimming in the medley, and Wally Dayton in the relay. Lastly, but by far the most important, we must give credit to Johnny Hartmann and Mr. Bosanko, without whose aid no Blake swimming team could long survive and who are responsible for the fine swimmers developed here at Blake. 79 THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • T mi life It is too early in the season to make any predictions as to the success of the tennis team, but we may safely say that the showing up to the present seems to indicate another very Hue season. There are only two returning lettermen. Captain Ralph Rosen berry and Gale Burton, and such names as Wyer and Rider are gone forever, but several members of last year’s squad are ready to step into the breach. In addition to them. Lindley Burton has won his way onto the team. The positions on the team are determined by a peg tournament, and at present Rosenberry. Gale Burton, and Lindley Burton are holding down the three singles berths. While the two Burtons form one doubles team. Rosenberry and Thomson. Oakes, or Bean team together to form the other combination. To date the netmen have defeated Concordia and De I a Salle by the scores of three to two and four to one respectively. As this is being written, the team is looking forward optimistically to the matches with S. P. A., Shattuck, and West. Also, there is a return match scheduled with the Concordia team. The purchase of a gasoline motor roller has been of great value to the team. The courts can be kept in much better condition with a minimum of effort. For this the squad is indebted to the Dramatic Association, the Athletic Association. and the Publications Board. Mr. Cleveland B uii Thomson. It. Itosonl erry Burton. L. Burton. G.

Heading this list was Captain Don Peddie, the winner of the Michelson trophy last year. Chuck Thompson, the playing manager, and Malcolm Moore were the other two returning lettermen. The squad, as usual, was limited to eight, and Tom Swanson, Al Sheldon, George Flannery. Chuck A mao, and Joe Bander rounded out the list. The first opponent was St. Louis Park, in which match Peddie, Thompson, Moore, and Swanson played in that order for Blake. The contest was won by Blake by the score of twelve to nothing. At this time the team is looking forward to the matches with S. P. A., Shattuck, West, Central, and Gustavus Adolphus. However, Mr. Glenn is spending much time with the younger members of the squad, for in a year or two they should develop into a very fine team. In this way, he is building up for the future and assuring the continuance of the great record which the golf teams in past years have made under his guidance. The golf team is indebted to Dr. Michelson for his donation of a prize for the winner of the handicap tournament which is to be held during the spring. There will also be competition for the Michelson Trophy for the school championship. Thompson, C.

There has been an unusual number of boys out for the teams this year, and the same high standard of coaching has been maintained. The season was opened successfully by tlie “A” football team with a decisive victory over S. P. A. on its own field. The score was 34-0, but it does not tell the true spirit in which the game was played. For like all the varsity games between the two schools, the coefficients are very fiercely contested. The “B team, on the same day and led by llefTelfingers one, two and three, literally slaughtered the Blue and Gold team from across the river. Owen supplied the major thrill, however, when he ran back the opening kickoff of the second half for sixty-five yards and a touchdown. With all due credit to Mr. Bittinger’s coaching prowess, the “C” team was distinctly second-class. But though the boys did not have the mechanical ability, which will come with practice, it is safe to say there are many great, future Blake players on the squad. The return games down the river proved to be close to a disaster. The “A team finally overcame an early lead to win. But it was only with great difficulty that the boys mastered an over-confidence which looked as if it would be their undoing. The “B team won again very easily. The woe-begone “C team was putting up a game fight, but found too much Jimmy Johnston on the other side of the line. As is always true during the winter months, the coefficient teams were inactive. But all three teams, as a group, played hockey, and not a few of them swam. As the Call O’Pan goes to press, there can be seen on the baseball diamonds the three coefficient teams practicing hard for the coming baseball season. Only two victories are necessary to make the Dayton Cup a permanent fixture in the Blake trophy case. It is with the utmost confidence that we predict at least four victories out of the six for our teams. 83 THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • ••IIrowii and White The new plan for an increased interest in intra-mural athletics, adopted in the fall of 1935, has gained definite momentum throughout the school year. In the fall Jack Bissell was elected captain of the Whites, while Ralph Rosenberry was chosen leader of the Browns. Competition began with the annual football games in both the upper and lower schools. The upper-school game took place, as usual, on Founders’ Day while the lower-school game took place on the day before. The Whites were victorious in both games, and hence gained a definite edge in the annual race. The winter competitions were, as is usually the case, the most interesting of all the events. The skating races were held at the school at the close of the hockey season, and here again the Whites came out definitely on top. A new feature in the Brown and White program is the annual ski meet. This year this event aroused a great deal of interest and almost the entire school witnessed the meet. The contest was close, but the Browns managed to eke out a victory by capturing the closing events. The benefits of this new event were readily shown when several promising ski prospects were uncovered. The final event of the winter season was run off when the Brown and White swimming meet took place at the Minneapolis Club near the end of the winter term. For the second time in the winter competition the meet was close, but the Whites finally won out. As the Call O’ Pan goes to press, the score is 59 for the Browns and 20.5 for the Whites. However, the track meet and the baseball game are yet to come and the Brown cause is not yet lost. It has been observed that the Brown and White system has enjoyed more interest than in the past mainly because of the addition of the ski meet and the other new features. Thus far, the new plan has been entirely successful, and it is expected that in future years this traditional Blake intra-mural competition will reach even greater heights than it has reached. As we look back over this school year, we might call it. and deservedly so, the second milestone in Blake’s new era of intra-mural athletics. 84 � Top: Please report this number today N. S. F.

My insurance is arranged to pay my wife a life income in case 1 die. It also provides a special educational fund for my children And finully. it establishes a substantial cash reserve which, if 1 see fit. I can convert into life income for myself and my wife when quitting time comes around. And when that time does come, while 1 know I’ll Ik- thankful for the money itself.
