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

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 • • • • • 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.
