THE CALL O' PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • llavid Donald IVtlilio Ever since Don began boarding the first of the three street cars which conveyed the Hilltoppers to and from school, he has awed both boys and masters alike bv his knowledge of the world of sport. 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.

THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 Thomas Edwin Oakes Tom began breaking all our class scholastic records back in the second form. 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.

THE CALL O’PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • lto k v »ll Purily One of tiie latest additions to the class of ’87, “Pure!” soon caught the spirit of the school. 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
