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.

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 • • • • • •lolm Itollivs ItissHI ever in the history of Blake has there been such a happy-go-lucky headboy as Jack Bissell. 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.
