THE CALL O' PAN FACULTY O F 'THIRTY NINE EUGENE CHARLES ALDER Headmaster B.A., Kansas University; M.A.. Harvard University; University of Berlin German MR. ALDER AT the beginning of this book it seems natural that we pay tribute to our headmaster, Mr. Eugene C. Alder, the man who is most responsible for the spirit that pervades Blake today. Since Mr. Alder came to Minneapolis in 1927, our school has constantly grown in stature until we now feel that we are students in one of the finest of preparatory schools. It is not too much to say that the largest part of this improvement is due to the influence of our headmaster. Through his teaching of play that is hard but fair we have come to realize the importance of our years here at Blake and have learned to try as he does to bring more credit to our Alma Mater. As we leave Blake, we wish him even greater success in his endeavor and hope that we have done our small part. 13 T H E CALL O' PAN NOAH SYLVESTER FOSS Assistant Headmaster Latin B.A., Dartmouth College Senior Master of Upper School MORRIS HENRY BITTINGER History B.A., Hampden-Svdney College; M.A., University of Virginia OWEN EDWARD HORNE Biology, Geography, Hygiene B.P.E., Springfield College Athletic Director Administrator of Grounds and Bldgs.

CLEVELAND THE debt of gratitude owed Mr. Cleveland by the graduating class of 1939, can never be fully paid. The best that can be done is a partial acknowledgment of what his services have meant to the members of our class. His advice concerning colleges, courses, and the innumerable other problems always present in the senior year, was invaluable. Whenever individual difficulties arose, he gladly laid aside his own work to help in straightening out each particular problem. In later years we will undoubtedly look back to see that Mr. Cleveland's kind, judicious counsel was one of the finest influences on our lives. 23 THE CALL O' P A N Back Row: Huff, Dayton W„ MacDonald, Colman, Callahan, McDonald, Russell Middle Row: Wynne ]., Laramee, Beckley, Martin, Hill G., Mr. Cleveland Front Row: Waters, Clark, Drake N., Eaton, Kingman H. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1939 LOOKING back to twelve years ago, we find that only two members of the present Senior class were daily consuming milk and crackers at recess in Miss McDonald's classroom. These two little chaps answered to the names of Wally Dayton and Bill Russell. Several years later the next permanent addition, Mai Clark, joined the class in the Fourth grade, and on entering the Fifth grade, our numbers were augmented by John Huff, Heinie Kingman and John MacDonald. We then joined the Senior School and during the first few weeks were considerably awed by Mr. Mokros's rumbling bass voice and the multitude of giants pacing the halls. In the process of learning how to dodge about the school without being stepped on, we ran into Bert Martin and George Waters gleefully cutting pictures from the encyclopedias to put into their geography note books. That year we were well represented on the Death Valley field. In the Second Form the school lowered its entrance requirements long enough to allow an alien agitator to enter under the name of George Hill. The class is still recovering from this staggering blow which was delivered at the time when we were too young to defend ourselves. However, we consoled ourselves by remembering that the B and C Teams were well supplied with material that year and the following one when Leo Eaton joined the group. Our number was considerably swelled on entering the Upper School by the addition of Tom Beckley, Ed Callahan, Nels Drake, Squid Laramee, John Wynne, and Ted Colman, who had jumped up from the Second Form. That 24 O F 'THIRTY NINE year Ted carried off the scholastic honors and continued to do so as long as he remained in Blake. As Fourth Formers we elected Bert Martin to represent us on the Council. In athletics a few of us were Varsity men but the majority resided on the A and B teams. Colman and Eaton were on the Publications Board; Clark was in the Dramatics; and Hill, Waters, and Clark were in the Glee Club. The Fifth Form year brought the last addition to our class in the person of Frank McDonald. Varsity letters in football were won by Drake and Martin; in Hockey by Kingman and Martin; in swimming by Dayton; and in baseball by Martin and Waters. As in the previous year, Bert was again our representative on the Council. As Juniors we participated in all the school's extra-curricular activities and v ere very well represented in athletics. Lettermen in football were Drake, Martin, and McDonald; in hockey, Kingman and Martin; in swimming, Eaton, Drake, McDonald, and Dayton; and in baseball, Waters, Martin, and Kingman. These latter two also filled the two positions on the Student Council. A list of the activities in which this year's Senior class has participated would be only a long enumeration, for the most part uninteresting. However, we are proud to say that we have led the school scholastically during the year and have taken part with a fine spirit in all the school functions. 25 T H E CALL O' PAN THOMAS MALLOY BECKLEY Entered Blake 1935 Tom Yale The hairbrained chatter of irresponsible frivolity. ALTHOUGH Tom will never take a prize for the most legible handwriting, he will indubitably go far in the field of photography. In spite of an old developer and a lack of focus, his pictures actually attain that high level where forms can be distinguished. In the class room Brother Beck usually enjoys a high status. Rarely, if ever, found with a gloomy look on his face, Tom has been known to smile happily even while victimized by Cleve's caustic criticisms. As manager of the football team he has filled his position faithfully and well, and when assistant in his Junior year, his technique with the water pail was unbelievable. When Lower School lunch rolls around, he dons an apron, spills milk, and brushes crumbs into the laps of bewildered undergraduates. A member of the Debating Team for the past two years, he has been very successful except when his opponents found out that his bark was worse than his bite. This year at Christmas time he displayed his talent as an actor and checker player in that rollicking melodrama, The Feed Store Mystery. Tom is going to Yale and as long as two other members of the”Virgil For Tomorrow Brotherhood are accompanying him. v e can predict certain success. 26 O F 'THIRTY NINE EDWARD JOSEPH CALLAHAN, JR. Entered Blake 1935 ”Ed Georgetown Diligence is the mother of good fortune. PROBABLY the biggest grind in the class, Ed has regularly resided on the first honor roll during his entire senior year. As one of Bitt's prize History students, he has been delegated to mark the maps of the other members of his American History division and according to Beckley, does a far too accurate job. Ed was manager of the swimming team again this year, and although he had never bowled before, he was breaking two hundred on the Minneapolis Club alleys by the end of the season. As circulation manager of Publications, he made frequent one period dashes down to the printers to pick up the Torches. On these trips he was often accompanied by four or five seniors who desired a few grey hairs and an escape from their French or German reading classes. Ed is also a Latin student of note, having his own private Cicero class with N. F. S. Towards the end of the year he decided that a little Virgil might help him in college so he voluntarily joined the senior Latin class, and within a week his translations became so smooth that they lulled George Hill to sleep. Georgetown will receive one of the hardest working members of this class when Ed arrives at Washington, D. C., next fall. 27 THE CALL O' PAN MALCOLM DAVID CLARK Cum Laude Entered Blake 1930 Mai Williams ’The power of the press is not to be underrated. TO fully describe the numerous activities of this curly headed dynamo, would take up much more than this meager page, for Mai has had his finger in practically every extra curricular activity in the school, including Glee Club, Publications, Press Club, Union, etc. His ability to tear off a theme before chapel, or do his trig during recess has amazed the rest of the plodding senior tribe. Yet his marks dropped never a mite and he graduates Cum Laude. As president of the Dramatics this year, Malcolm performed an outstanding feat. He played two lead parts in two different plays and portrayed with equal skill both the male and female sexes. Malcolm's ability to inspire confidence is also amazing, and his winning smile has often extracted many a tale which has been subtly (?) retold in the notorious Out and About column. This book which you are now reading is the product of many sleepless nights by our Editor-in-Chief. Yet perhaps of all his achievements, Mai is most proud of his playing the banjo. The swift movement of his fingers, the expressions on his face, and the tantalizing rhythm overshadow the fact that no one has ever heard more than two distinctly different chords. Mai has chosen Williams as his college and he is sure to win many friends there. 28 O F 'THIRTY NINE EDWARD LEONARD COLMAN Cum Laude Entered Blake 1934 •Ted Yale ‘The king can drink the best of wine— so can I. ENTERING our class in the Fourth Form, Ted has since then amazed us all by his scholastic ability. For four years he has ranked first among his classmates, and this year he graduates as valedictorian. Outstanding in French, Ted amuses himself by reading French novels. In fact, his prowess in this language was so exceptional that he was told not to come to class unless he so desired. As a chemistry student, his own home experiments concerning the processes of fermentation deserve mention. Ted has taken part in many extracurricular activities during his years at Blake. For the past two years the Dramatic Association has benefited from his performances in the annual plays. This year he took the part of Henry Gibbons in the Feed Store Mystery . Ted has also served on the debating team for two years and is a member of the Student Advisory Board. In the Glee Club his bass growl is responsible for many a powerfully rendered hymn and final Amen. The words powerfully rendered really fail to do justice in describing the result of his strong contributions to the Chapel singing. In the fall Ted plans to enter Yale and he is sure to make an enviable record there. 29 THE CALL O' PAN WALLACE CORLISS DAYTON Entered Blake 1927 Wally Amherst Then come kiss me sweet and twenty. ONE of the two charter members of the class of '39, Wally started Blake in the first grade of the Junior School under Miss McDonald. Wally is a member of excellent standing in the Virgil for Tomorrow Brotherhood, and has a strong influence over the other Latinists in the daily pre-chapel meetings. More than once he has saved Hill from spending Special Help under the Eagle eye of N. S. F., and in class his ability to lead the assistant headmaster away from the subject of Latin to more pleasant fields of thought is truly amazing. For the past three years Wally has been on the swimming team, and during the Winter term trains rigorously (?). Every afternoon he could be found at the Minneapolis Club pool swimming his customary fifteen laps with a rest after each in order to discuss European politics with Johnny Hartmann. This year Wally was manager of the baseball team and performed all of his duties efficently except for one small incident involving the payment of the umpire. He is a Lower School waiter and is not above using his masculine charm to procure the largest dessert. The third of the Dayton clan to graduate, Wally has bolted from the beaten path, and has chosen Amherst as his Alma Mater. 30 O F 'THIRTY NINE EDWIN NELSON DRAKE Entered Blake 1935 Nels Annapolis ‘The stag at eve had drunk his fill. EVER since Nels entered our class in the Fourth Form, his actions have been a continual source of amusement and wonder. We have laughed heartily at the wild tales which have been relayed to us by Bonner or Waters of this or that Saturday night. Indeed, we have chortled with glee to see our favorite waiter spilling milk on Mr. Cleveland or walking up to get our hard won scholarship plaque as if a fight with Mr. Alder lay directly ahead. On the athletic field the Bull Moose has been truly outstanding. This year he climaxed three years on the football team by leading it through an undefeated season as Captain. His team mates showed their appreciation by voting him the Williams cup. In his Junior year he captained the swimming team and as a Senior broke the school back stroke record and was awarded the Guy Thomas trophy. For three years he has acted crooks and villains in the Blake Plays, and in each case the portrayal has been remarkably convincing. His popularity is shown by his election as class president and to the Union. He has chosen Annapolis as his college and the Navy as a profession. We wish him the best of luck and expect to see him have the proverbial girl in every port. 31 T H E CALL O' PAN LEONARD KIMBALL EATON Entered Blake 1934 “Leo Williams I will roar that I will do any man's heart good to hear me. DURING the Spring term, nine out of ten knocks on the Senior room door denote that Leo is about to procure another ad for the Call O'Pan. As Business Manager of Publications, he handled the financial affairs of the Torch very capably and went far over the goal he set in the Call O'Pan ad campaign. Proof of his ability to apply the pressure can easily be found by turning to the advertising section in the back of this book. Furthermore, Leo exercised his literary talents in contributing to Publications. Whenever material was lacking for the Torch, he dashed off well padded articles that brought tears of joy to the Editor's eyes. This year Leo captained the tank team in a very successful swimming season. The fine example he set by his hard work, and his amazing knowledge of everthing and anything concerning swimming made him an excellent leader. He was also a member of the Union and the Student Advisory Board. No biography of Leo could be complete without mentioning his political feelings. A rabid Republican of the old school, he denounces all Democracy whether practiced by F. D. R. or preached by Bitt. Leo will undoubtedly continue his fine record at Williams-town next year. 32 OF 'THIRTY-NINE EVER since we can remember, the gatherings of this class have been enlivened by the particular brand of lunacy on which George Hill has a copyright. We say lunacy because nobody but a madman could have survived the three hectic years which George has spent in the chamber of horrors directly adjoining the Senior room. During these three years he has gained wide spread acclaim as the president and most active member of the Virgil for Tomorrow Brotherhood. A long standing member of the Dramatics and Glee Club, George acted as president of the latter organization this year and will be long remembered for his vocal work. George's voice is very difficult to describe and only after much research was it found that identical sounds are issued by a grizzly bear singing soprano. However, there are those few who do not agree with that description and prefer to compare George with a coyote stricken with laryngitis. (In all kindness to the coyote this slur should not be allowed.) In addition to this remarkable voice, George possesses the ability to harmonize perfectly on any song, gyrate dizzily about the dance floor, and do the least amount of work possible for a headwaiter. Although Yale has stood for many years, its first real test will come sometime in the next four. 33 THE CALL O' P A N JOHN ROSS HUFF Entered Blake 1931 Huffie Williams A sailboat in the moonlight. AWAY back in the dim, dark days of the Junior School, John joined the class under the excellent tutelage of Miss Sherin. Since that time he has progressed through the school with consistently good grades, often residing on the term honor roll. In his Junior and Senior years he soared off with first place in jumping in the Brown and White Ski Meet. Out and out the best skier in the class, John has been known to fall for Heinie's glib line concerning Skoki Ski Camp and several times has gone up to Canada during Easter vacation to pursue his favorite sport. Huffie is also an actor of note, first facing the footlights in his Sophomore year. This year he played the part of Townsend Knowles resplendent in a gray derby and a flashing stick pin. In the summer he spends his time sailing on Lake Minnetonka and is famous for winning moonlight cruises. When questioned about this astounding feat, he was quoted as saying, You can get just as far ahead of the other boats in winning as you can get behind them in losing. (A sound bit of philosophy.) Last spring vacation John journeyed east to look over colleges and has decided to join two other members of the class by entering Williams in the fall. 34 OF 'THIRTY-NINE 1 - ■■ —= HENRY SELDON KINGMAN, JR. Entered Blake 1931 “Heinie Amherst “My heart is true as steel.'' A COUNCIL member for the past two years, Heinie is one of the most respected and best-liked fellows in the class. In spite of his size and weight, he has been outstanding in athletics, first on the coefficient field and then as a varsity man. This year he was the lightest man on the football team, climaxed three years of fine play on the hockey team, and captained the baseball team in the spring. Heine is also a great skiing enthusiast; and whenever the opportunity arises, will talk on Skoki Ski Camp, urging one and all to spend their Easter vacations in the Canadian Rockies. Although he “never goes out, Heine is the only member of the class not in possession of his Senior ring. In spite of numerous frantic appeals, he frequently finds his name in the Torch linked with that of Long Lake. Heinie is a member of the Union, Student Advisory Board, and Athletic Association. As president of the Athletic Association, he always disregards the negative vote on the question of adjournment, and calmly walks off the platform ignoring the multitude of hands raised in protest. Heinie will follow in his father's footsteps next year, as he plans to enter Amherst in the fall. 35 THE CALL O' P A N LOUIS DAVID LARAMEE Entered Blake 1935 Squid Princeton There was a laughing devil in his sneer. IN this corner, ladies and gentlemen, we have that versatile jack-of-all-trades, Squid Laramee. For three years Squid has starred in the dramatics and glee club productions. His performances in the former have always been noteworthy, especially when he attempted to pull the scenery down on the rest of the cast when leaving the set through one of the doors. This came about in “The Case of Johnny Walker when, after being expressly warned that the doors opened off the stage, Squid tussled mightily to get the door open by pulling it towards him. This year Louie was on the football, hockey, and baseball teams and gave excellent performances on all three. Particularly notable was his ball carrying in the second half of the Blake Homecoming game with S. P. A. In baseball Squid is famous on the mound for his fast ball no one knows where it will go (least of all, Squid). Also famous as a photographer, one of his pictures titled Ada hung in the senior room galleries for weeks and brought forth exclamations of admiration from every one. A driver of note, one can always tell when Squid has driven out to school by the sudden attacks of the palsy suffered by the passengers. Princeton! Here he comes! 36 OF 'THIRTY. NINE JOHN WALKER MacDONALD Entered Blake 1931 John Minnesota 'Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. A THOROUGH gentleman and fearless sportsman, Mac ranks with “Wynnsome as an outstanding authority on arms and ammunition. Although an enthusiastic hunter, he favors a strong conservation policy and has expounded his views several times in chapel. A member of the Student Advisory Board, Mac does his best to keep his boys on the straight and narrow, a path which he himself is accustomed to follow. However, on request he will explain to eager listeners an excellent method for embarrassing car drivers by drawing pencil lines in weird places so that their cars won't start. Fencing and with Huff avoiding play are Mac's favorite pastimes and he is very adept at both. His particular specialty with a saber is an overhead haymaker delivered with zest upon a hapless opponent. And now we wish to bring forth into the spotlight a trait which is outstanding, unbelievable, and truly unique. In this class of demon drivers, John remains a shining light of caution. He is probably the only denizen of the senior cave who has never been kidded about that little dent in his fender or what the judge said.” Mac has decided to become a doctor and we wish him the best of luck at Minnesota next year. 37 THE CALL O' PAN ALBERT COBB MARTIN Cum Laude Entered Blake 1932 Bert Yale One day in the country Is worth a month in town. OUTSTANDING throughout his entire career at Blake, Bert's accomplishments are far too numerous to record in the brief space allowed for this biography. Climaxing four years on the Student Council as head boy this year, he was a leader scholastically and athletically. graduating Cum Laude and winning ten letters in varsity sports. Bert also participated in many extra curricular activities such as the Union, Athletic Association, Glee Club, Publications, and Dramatic Association. We must not fail to mention his courageous attempt to uphold the morale of this last organization in The Ghost of a Freshman by modestly drawing Diane's (alias Don McCarthy's) skirt down below the knees. A speaker of note, he took first place in the Thorpe Cup contest with a stirring address on one of Minnesota's famed Johnsons. Bert captained the hockey team this year, and his remarkable ability in the nets was a prime factor in the winning of the Red Squirrel trophy. In appreciation of his great work as goalie, his teammates voted him the Dartmouth hockey trophy, the highest honor a hockey player may receive. To sum all this up we might say that in everything Bert did a fine school spirit was always present. Old Eli will be proud to have such a son. 38 O F 'THIRTY NINE FRANK LOUIS McDONALD Entered Blake 1936 Mac Amherst 'We grant although he had much wit, He was very shy of using it. THE most recent addition to the class of '39, Frank has certainly turned out to be a real asset to our group. Through persistence and hard work he turned in two years of remarkable playing at guard on the football team. His sense of humor allowed him to make remarks which brightened up even the grimmest of football practices. He found humor in such remarks as Three times around the field for a starter, or We'll begin with a little two-on-one practice today. Among Frank's other athletic accomplishments we must particularly note his two years on the swimming team as a dash man. He has never shown brilliantly as a student, but this year he put a stop to the remarks of all those who were constantly kidding him about his English by getting honors during the winter term. This accomplishment served to stifle once and for all that columnist who wrote as unusual as an honor mark on Frank McDonald's report card. Mac also portrayed a hearty mountaineer in the plays this year. Frank has chosen Amherst as his college and we can truthfully say that it is a fortunate institution to gain such a fine fellow. 39 THE O' PAN CALL WILLIAM JULIUS RUSSELL, JR. Cum Laude Entered Blake 1927 “Bill California Tech “T will not jump with common spirits.'1 EXCEPT for a temporary sojourn in California last year, Bill has spent all of his days at Blake. In this time he has established himself as a fine scholar, and his excellent record has resulted in his graduation with Cum Laude honors. Bill's eccentricities in the class room have brightened many a poor student's school day. His rapid fire solid geometry proofs have baffled even Mr. Lundholm. After much research it was found that one of Bill's proofs usually contained four principal branches or divisions; the preliminary explanation, the main body of the proof, at least half a dozen side issues, and finally a long verbal harangue in defense of the proof. This was all delivered at machine gun speed amid frequent illustrations with wildly flying books and pencils. Bill is undoubtedly a confirmed pessimist. Before and after each test he predicts dire results for himself. However, it always turns out that these predictions are merely an indication that he will get the best grade in the class Bill's interest in technical matters has led him to California Tech, where he will undoubtedly go far in the field of his choice. 40 O F 'THIRTY NINE GEORGE FRANKLIN WATERS Entered Blake 1932 George Harvard Friend George, thou hast outrun the constable at last. ON this page you see the smiling visage of the personality king of the class of '39. Ever since we can remember, George has dazzled all and sundry by his sparkling wit and humor. For two years he projected his personality across the footlights, but this year he was taken ill on the very eve of his performance, and so Blake lost a portrayal that might have been epic in proportion. He is also an old stalwart in the Glee Club, having served in that organization for five years. And with all this dramatic aptitude goes considerable ability along other lines. For he has functioned successfully as managing editor of the Publications and captained the Whites. One of the most loyal boys in our class, George has tried for all the teams. He finally came into his own this year on the football and hockey teams. He has also been regular first baseman for three years. A member of the Council and Union, George also belongs to another famous organization. The organization to which we refer is the Upper School Waiters, a vicious crew of gastronomic criminals. But all this is irrelevant, and the fact remains that Blake must say goodbye to one of her truest supporters when George follows his brother to Harvard. 41 THE CALL O' PAN JOHN TAYLOR WYNNE Entered Blake 1935 John Minnesota 'An 1 thought he had been so cunning in fence, I'd ne'er have challenged him. DEFINITELY of the slow but sure school, John has spent most of his Blake career quietly advancing through the halls of higher learning. His greatest love undoubtedly lies in firearms, and whenever this subject is brought up in the Senior room, his word is law. His chapel talks concerning guns have been extremely educating and amusing. These have abounded with actual illustrations in the form of bullets, guns, shooting jackets, and other accessories. Such quotations as And the story goes that every time he wanted to make a gun barrel with a spiral bore, he would go into town and get tanked up have made the depressing weight of a forthcoming Chemistry test much lighter. Whenever the clang of steel on steel rings through the halls, it is a certainty that John is crossing foils with some other fencing enthusiast. In this field he holds undisputed sway. As manager of the athletic store he ran the organization smoothly throughout the entire year. Lately he has departed from his role as a confirmed woman hater, and promises to retain this new policy at the U. of M. next year where he will study medicine. 42 THE CALL O' PAN CLASSES O F 'THIRTY NINE Back Row: Burton, Hanson, Frankforter. Neils, Walling, Bonner, Mokros, McCartney, Cleveland. Curtin Middle Row: Wrench H.. LaBounta, McCarthy, Sheldon, Plank, Dunn, Spencer J., Spencer D Front Row: Cooper, Mr. Savage, Flannery, Dorsey, Duff P. Dayton K. SIXTH FORM THE Junior class has been well represented on the athletic field this year. Football letters were won by Bonner, McCarthy, Dorsey, Mokros, and Neils, and hockey letters by Burton, Mokros. Dorsey, Hanson, and Manager Flannery. Bonner alone from the Sixth Form made the swimming team. Dobson, Neils, Bonner, and McCartney are likely candidates for the baseball team this spring, while Captain McCarthy, Burton, and Cleveland are on the tennis team, and Captain Flannery, Sheldon, and Hanson are on the golf team. Especially active in Publications, Dramatics and Glee Club were Dayton. Sheldon, Spencer D., Bonner, Cooper, Dobson, McCartney, Duff. Amao, McCarthy, and Flannery. Spencer D. and Sheldon were on the debating team. The Junior positions on the Student Council were held by Mokros and Sheldon. Duff and Duffy Spencer have vied for first place scholastically and Flannery, Hanson, and Mokros also grace the honor roll. The class officers were Dorsey, president; Duff, vice-president; and Flannery, treasurer. We wish to take this last opportunity to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Savage, who has helped all of us invaluably. PETER DORSEY, President. 47 THE CALL O' PAN Back Row: Kuechle, Fetzer, Ervin.

Hayes, Simmons, Ashmun Front Row: Johnson, Gluek, Maxeiner, Shearer, Drake W„ Hield J., Moore F. FIFTH FORM AT the beginning of the school year two new boys entered the class: Hoaglund and Fetzer. In the first class meeting the following officers were elected: Shearer, president; Drake, vice president; Maxeiner, secretary and treasurer. The previous spring Gluek was elected for the second time to represent the class in the Student Council. This year Mr. Bosanko was chosen by the form as its class advisor. Although our class has not been outstanding scholastically this year, it has not ranked at the bottom of the list. Maxeiner and Bowen consistently led the class in scholastic achievement. Others who were usually on the honor roll were: Simmons, Preus, Hayes. Ervin, and Gluek. In football Drake and Gluek were varsity lettermen, and Preus, Simmons and Moore won A team letters. In the winter term Shearer and Gluek won their Varsity hockey letters. Also Drake and Heffelfinger won their letters on the swimming squad. In the spring term Drake and Gluek were on the baseball team and Shearer was on the tennis team. We are especially indebted to Mr. Bosanko for the time and assistance he has given us this year.

These additions were Dedon, Dunnavan, Haberman, Hodgson, Harrison, Klass, and Williams. Hoaglund entered later on in the school year. A class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: Carter, president; Hart, vice-president; Heffelfinger, M., secretary and treasurer. Our representative on the Council was Dick Gale. Scholastic leaders in the class are Spencer, Williams, Thomson and Carter. In the fall the Fourth Form was well represented on the A and B coefficient football teams and Peavey Heffelfinger won his varsity letter. Then came the dramatics in which Dobson, Donaldson, Duff, and Heffelfinger, M., took an active part. During the winter many boys participated in hockey, swimming, and skiing. Hart and Thomson were on the debating team. This spring a large number of boys are playing either coefficient baseball or tennis. In closing, we wish to gratefully acknowledge the thoughtful help rendered throughout the year by our class advisor, Mr! Lundholm. ROBERT CARTER, President. 49 T H E CALL O' PAN Back Row: Mr. Horn, Jones W., Bennett W., Strieker, Nelson, Mackall, Barbour G. Middle Row: Robertson M., Ross, Owen, Lyman F., Moore H., Wynne D. Front Row; Winton C., Webster. Atwood, Bull, Kingman W., McQueen THIRD FORM IN the fall two new boys, John McQueen and David Wynne, entered the class, bringing the total number up to twenty-one. The officers for this year were Bull, president; Kingman, vice president; and Atwood, secretary and treasurer. Football, hockey, and baseball were enjoyed by nearly all of the class. Most of the Third Form were on the B teams. However, Owen, Lyman, and Ross were A teamers and Winton was on the C. In scholastic standing Fred Lyman and Woodward Kingman stood at the top, both consistently appearing on the first honor roll throughout the school year. In public speaking the class greatly added to their platform ability under the very capable direction of Mrs. Nunan, whose patience and skill resulted in marked improvement. The Third Form was very lucky this year to have a class advisor as fine as Mr. Home. During the school year he has worked in every way possible to forward the interests of our form and we appreciate very much his fine efforts on our behalf. 50 DAVID BULL, President.

In the election of class officers held shortly after school started, Brooks was chosen president; Ritz, vice president, and Philip Williams, secretary and treasurer. Last fall many members of the form who went out for football secured positions on the B and C teams. During the winter term a fairly large number went out for hockey and played in the S.P.A. games. Also, several of the Second Formers took up skiing. This spring our class was well represented on the B and C baseball teams. Throughout the year the outstanding boys scholastically have been Ritz, Raines, Winton, Fletcher, and Dinsmoor. Although we have not yet won the scholarship plaque, we have kept up with the rest of the school. Under the fine supervision of Mr. Glenn we feel that we have done our share in the activities of the school, and we wish to thank Mr. Glenn for his willing help. 51 GLENN BROOKS, President.

At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: Wyer, president; Kingman, vice-president; and Tearse, secretary and treasurer. Our class advisor was Mr. Bittinger. Almost all of the boys went out for football in the fall. Some were on the B team but the majority were on the C. About five won their letters. In the winter most of the class played hockey under the coaching of Mr. Home and a few skiied under the direction of Mr. Conley. During the last term of the year all have been active either in baseball or tennis. Gingold and Kingman have led the class in scholarship. It is with great sorrow that we mention the tragic passing of Dick Arnao. Dick was one of the finest fellows in the class and his loss has been deeply felt by all of us. We were very fortunate to have Mr. Bittinger start us off at Blake and would like to express our thanks for all that he has done for us. 52 STEPHEN WYER. President.

Seated: Kingman H„ Waters, Martin, Mr. Alder STUDENT COUNCIL AS in past years, the Student Council has continued in a quiet but efficient manner in its management of various school events and programs. To the careful planning of this body may be accredited the success of the Christmas and Spring dances. The programs for Homecoming and Founder's Day were also ably carried out. This year the Council adopted two measures for the benefit of the student body. The signing of slips for the Torch was instituted as a result of the success enjoyed last year when the same plan was employed with the Call O Pan. This act is more convenient not only for the publications but also for the student body. Beginning next year a more vigorous encouragement of music in the school has been planned. During this last year the work of the Council as an advisory board, though not spectacular, has been efficiently accomplished. There can be no doubt that this body is invaluable to the school. 57 T H E CALL O' PAN Standing: Spencer J.. Duff P., Flannery, Dorsey, Drake N., Sheldon, Mokros, Martin, McCarthy, Dayton K. Seated: Eaton, Kingman H., Mr. Savage, Clark, Waters THE UNION THE Blake Union enjoyed great success this year in its endeavors to give its members practice in public speaking and to provide opportunities for social fellowship. To accomplish these ends meetings are held on alternate Fridays in so far as it is possible. This year as in previous years the Union Medal was given to that Fifth Former who excelled in the delivery of an oration. It was especially gratifying to note the number of boys who participated in this contest. At one of the last meetings of the year the senior papers were read, expressing frank criticisms and praises of the school and discussions of its problems. A large share of the Union's success must be attributed to Mr. Savage whose thoughtful guidance was of the greatest help to all of the members. At this point we must acknowledge the help of Mr. Charles Lamb, who for so many years was advisor to the Union. All the present members and all the members among the Alumni know what his efforts meant to them and it is only fitting that we pay tribute here to his influence upon the Union. His passing was a great blow to us and we shall miss his kindly wisdom and advice.

Mr. Glenn, Clark, Martin, Huff ADVISORY BOARD FOR four years the Student Advisory Board for the First and Second Forms has existed. It has operated with only moderate success, but each year finds this institution slowly perfecting itself. In a succinct form this is the organization and function of this body. The Student Council selects boys from the Junior and Senior classes with the approval of the faculty. These boys cooperate with the faculty advisors of the First and Second Forms in helping the younger boys through the many problems which they encounter when starting out at Blake. Each student advisor has from two to four of these younger boys under his care. It is his responsibility to watch closely the marks and progress in extracurricular activities of his charges, and to point out all possible places where improvement might be achieved. Through this body the younger fellows are introduced to the traditions of Blake and are more closely associated with the older students of the school. The ideals of the advisory board and the actual practice of it have not reached full coordination as yet, but it has been of great service to the school during its short span of life and will undoubtedly improve with each succeeding year. 59 THE CALL O' PAN Back Row: Hart, Martin.

However, several changes are to be found. The idea of stimulating more interest in the advertising section has been carried out to a greater extent than in any previous years. In the belief that the lens shot section is one of the most enjoyable features of the year book, this division has been considerably enlarged. The division pages themselves are an original feature of this year's book. A new plan was adopted concerning the ad campaign in order to lessen the inconvenience suffered by advertisers. This plan proved very successful under the fine efficient direction of Business Manager Leonard Eaton and it is hoped that next year's board will make it even more acceptable. TORCH THE Publications Board of 1938-39 has instituted a decided change in policy concerning the Torch. In order to make the paper more interesting, it has printed pictures whenever possible and published more actual news and fewer reports on past events. Furthermore all editorials have been discontinued until something arises which merits serious comment. In place of these editorials several articles have been written by the faculty. An entirely new feature of this year was the homecoming extra. This Torch was printed as an extra issue to be distributed to all those who attended the homecoming game. 61 THE CALL O' PAN Back Row: Huff, Donaldson. Duff P.. Cooper, McCarthy, Dayton K..

DRAMATICS THE twenty-fourth annual presentation of the dramatic association brought about a complete change in policy as followed in previous years. Instead of the usual four one-act plays, only three were presented this year. Furthermore, the character of the plays was radically different from the customary balance of light and heavy performances. All three plays were farce comedy. Congratulations were well given to Mr. Burt Casler for his excellent direction, to Malcolm Clark, who was a most capable president, to business manager, Edward Colman, and to George Hill for his fine work as property manager.

Four boys, portrayed by Tom Dobson, George Hill, Frank McDonald and Nick Duff, who have come up to spend their Christmas vacation at the lodge, become involved in the hunt for a bank robber known as the Santa Claus bandit. An airplane crash, an attempt to steal the mail, and last of all, a dramatic disclosure of the real crook are combined with the irresponsible, happy-go-lucky antics of the four boys to make an amusing and enjoyable play.

Helena, the teacher's pet, is not told of the plan but finds out about it later. Diane, aided by Gertrude, actually turns the tables on the conspirators much to their surprise. 63 T H E CALL O' PAN Standing: Bov en, Maxeiner, Hoaglund A., Zinsmaster, Colman, McCartney. Ervin.

Waters, Hill G., Mr. Avery, Laramee, Sheldon GLEE CLUB THIS year the Glee Club and Choir, under the able direction of Mr. Avery, have played a greater part than ever in the activities of the school. Besides their annual concert, they gave vocal presentations at the Christmas program, the Parent-Teachers' Dinner, and the Vesper service. In addition to these, they presented several numbers in the Chapel period during the course of the school year. Of course, the main musical event of the year was the annual concert, presented by the combined glee clubs of Northrop and Blake schools. This year the glee clubs presented not only a concert consisting of seven vocal selections and two instrumental numbers but also a streamlined version of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pinafore . The first numbers on the program, Homeland, by Cain, and The Galway Piper , by Fletcher, were sung by the combined glee clubs. Following these numbers were Swing Along , by Cook, and I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' , by George Gershwin, both given by the Blake Glee Club. Next was given a cello solo by Sally Lee of Northrop School. The selection was “Tarantelle , by Popper. Then the Northrop Glee Club presented three numbers, Morning , by Speakes, The Snow , by McLeod, and When Day Is Done , by Katscher. The last number on the program, an instrumental number, was The Toy Trumpet , by Raymond Scott, given by Miss Virginia Lee, trumpetist of Northrop School, and David Cooper, drummer from Blake. After the ten-minute intermission which followed, came the “streamlined 64 O F 'THIRTY NINE version of Pinafore . The original operetta had been cut-down and smoothed over, so that now all that remained was the best of music and the best of dialogue. Scene I took place on the quarter-deck of H. M. S. Pinafore, off Portsmouth, England. The time was noon. Scene II was the same, except for the time, which was night. The cast, in order of appearance, was: Buttercup - The Boatswain Dick Deadeye Ralph Rackstraw Captain Corcoran Josephine - Hebe .... Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. Mary Lou Bros Jack Bonner Louis Laramee Arthur Hoaglund Robert Maxeiner Evelyn Stuart Ruth Deems William McCartney The concert was declared a great success by all of the large audience, and a substantial profit was made for the glee clubs. Glee Club keys will be given this year to Ted Colman and Louis Laramee of the Senior class and to Bob Bowen and Bob Maxeiner of the fifth form Keys are awarded for three consecutive years of service in the Glee Club, provided two of the three years have been in the Upper School. Members of the Glee Club who have received keys before this year are Malcolm Clark, David Cooper, George Hill, Bert Martin, Bill McCartney, and Albert Sheldon. 65 T H E CALL O' PAN Standing: Mr. Cleveland, Bowen, Ervin, Hart, Thomson, Mr. Bittinger Seated: Spencer D., Russell, Beckley. Colman, Sheldon DEBATE TEAM CONTINUING the custom established last year, the Blake debating squad chose the national High School subject for debate. The subject was, Resolved: that the United States should establish an alliance (military and naval) with Great Britain. Thus for a second year the Blake squad debated against the teams of a large number of high schools from this section of the state. Beckley, Colman and Russell represented the senior class on the debating squad; Sheldon and Spencer, the junior class; Bowen and Ervin, the sophomore class; and Hart and Thomson, the freshman class. Under the guidance of Coach Bittinger, and Messrs. Cleveland and Bryan, the squad commenced its activities at the very first of the winter term. In the course of the term, the Blakesters took part in almost forty informal debates against a varied number of high schools. With but a few exceptions these debates were without decision and were employed solely as a means of developing one's ability to think on his feet, toward which, the rebuttal is especially effective. Near the end of the winter term, elimination debates were held among the members of the Blake squad to select four boys to debate before the school on Tuesday, February twenty-eighth. The four chosen were Ted Colman and A1 Sheldon, representing the affirmative and Duffy Spencer and John Thomson, representing the negative. At the close of this debate, the members of the faculty acted as judges, and announced a decision of 11-3 in favor of the negative team. 66 O F 'THIRTY NINE PUBLIC SPEAKING WILSON CUP CONTEST Winner: Charles Horn I, 'Drums of the Fore and Aft, Kipling FIFTH FORM DECLAMATION Winner: Robert Bowen V, Sports Life in America: Dozing, Robert Benchley THORPE CUP CONTEST Winner: Albert Martin VII, 1 John A. Johnson WILLIAMS THEME PRIZE Winner: Edward Callahan, Fantasy PUBLIC Speaking has always taken an important part in the curriculum at Blake, and this year was no exception. As is the custom, the Seniors speak twice before Chapel and the Juniors once. Mr. Bryan, who is himself an excellent public speaker, has been in charge of these Chapel speeches, and their quality is a tribute to his remarkable work among the boys. Mr. Bryan was also in charge of the public speaking classes of the upper three forms. Practice in oratory and discussion is also given to the fourth form. Mr. Bittinger leads this course, which is known as the World Problems class. Mrs. I. D. Nunan gave training in public speaking to the lower school for a second year. The result of her work this year was clearly shown in the best Wilson Cup Contest ever held. Twelve boys were entered in this contest. Blake boys are offered a marvelous opportunity to develop their forensic talent in these public speaking classes and contests at school. 67 T H E CALL O' PAN SHORT STORY CLUB ONE of the most popular organizations in the school is the Short Story Club. Eligible for membership in this body are all Seniors and Juniors. During the winter term this body meets every other Sunday night at the house of one of the members. At these meetings three or four selected short stories are read to the assembled Juniors and Seniors. Following these stories, refreshments are served and a general discussion takes place. This year boys who opened their homes to the club were Albert Martin, George Flannery, Kenneth Dayton, Albert Sheldon, and Nelson Drake. The tremendous success enjoyed by the Short Story Club may be attributed to the excellent guidance of Mr. Glenn. SENIOR DINNERS MEMBERS of the graduating class always consider Senior Dinners to be one of the most interesting and valuable features of the school year. At the three dinners held this year, fathers of the boys in the senior class speak to the seniors on the various phases of their different careers and professions. The first speaker was Mr. G. N. Dayton, whose address dealt with the opportunities in and operation of the retail business. Mr. M. Martin was the second speaker and he spoke concerning the advertising business. The third and final speaker was Mr. J. H. Colman, who talked on the legal profession. The large number of seniors attending and the questions asked the speakers by the boys are indicative of the success of these dinners. 68 O F 'T H I R T y . N I N E JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM, 1938 COMMENCEMENT night on June 10, 1938, was the date for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The dance was held at the Lafayette Club, and all who attended considered it one of the best dances they had attended. Glad Olinger and his orchestra were, of course, the most important factor in making the dance a success. The favors were little engraved sentinels for the girls and leather picture frames for the boys. The committee in charge of the dance was composed of Malcolm Clark, Bert Martin, and George Waters. CHRISTMAS DANCE THE Christmas Dance, which was sponsored by the Student Council, was very well patronized. The committee for the dance included the Senior members of the Council, who are Heinie Kingman. Bert Martin, and George Waters. Glad Olinger and his orchestra again provided the pleasing tunes. Chaperones for the dance were Mr. and Mrs. Alder, Mr. Bissell, Mr. and Mrs. Gale, and Mr. and Mrs. Martin. SPRING DANCE THE Spring Dance was again held in May this year, and the crowd was large enough to make the affair a financial success. The fine music was provided by Bob Owens and his campus orchestra. The committee in charge of the Spring Dance consisted of the Junior members of the Council. They were Bert Mokros and A1 Sheldon. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Alder, Mr. and Mrs. Duff, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM, 1939 THE annual Junior-Senior Prom will be held this evening, Commencement night, at the Woodhill Club. Jimmy Robb and his orchestra, increasingly popular with Blake students, will render the desired swing tunes. The committee for the dance is composed of Kenneth Dayton, Tom Dobson, Pete Dorsey, George Flannery, and A1 Sheldon. 69 THE CALL O' P A N ALUMNI ASSOCIATION President ------ Bradshaw Mintener, Vice President - Frederick E.

Again this year the meeting was an informal affair lasting from 4:30 to 6:00, following the precedent set by the two preceding years. The good attendance again indicated the popularity of this type of meeting. This year an Alumni baseball team came out to the school on May 1st and won a well played game with the Blake varsity team. This Alumni team, gathered together by Jack Winston '34, had as a battery George Lauritzen Ex-'32, and Ben Wright '32, later Ade Howard '20 and Ben. This battery, backed by a strong aggregation of alumni, proved too much for the undergraduates. After the game 65 members of the Alumni Association gathered for a buffet dinner in the Blake dining room. Following dinner the annual meeting was called to order by the president, Bradshaw Mintener. At this meeting Mr. Bruce Coulter, former master, and Mr. Bryan were made honorary members of the association. Adjourning to the library, the group was privileged to hear Tom Dillon '33 discuss his trip in the South Seas. For the first time in many years, the Alumni Association asked its members for dues, and the generous response to this request was very gratifying. From the proceeds the Association has been able to present gold footballs to the members of Mike Horne's championship football team, in addition to supporting the Press Club for another year. In its fourth year, the Press Club, under the guidance of Malcolm Clark assisted by Phil Duff, has definitely established itself as a most valuable asset to Blake. Respectfully submitted, 70 JOHN C.

Mokros WAITERS AT BLAKE it is one of the cherished customs of the school to have the boys wait on the tables at the noonday meal. This year under the skillful management of Miss Berglund, the Upper and Lower School waiters have carried out their duties in a highly efficient manner. The members of this group are chosen from a long list of Sixth and Seventh Form applicants, and the positions are much coveted. As is customary every year, headwaiters were chosen for both the Upper and Lower Schools. This year the two boys selected were George Hill and Malcolm Clark. The regular waiters receive all of their meals free of charge and occasional waiters are paid for their work. The headwaiters, who have many additional services to perform, receive extra payment. The waiters wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation for the excellent work of the maids and cooks in the kitchen They, the waiters, fully understand and realize the amount of preparation necessary to maintain the high quality of the meals served here at Blake. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Berglund, who is the dietician. 71 the call o' pan Clark, Martin. Colman. Russell CUM LAUDE EVERY year memberships in the Cum Laude society, a national organization, admission to which is based wholly on scholarship and character, are awarded to boys in the upper fifth of the graduating class by the faculty. This spring four boys, Edward Colman, Albert Martin, Malcolm Clark and William Russell, were elected to this society. These boys are to be heartily congratulated upon their attainment since membership involves an honor record maintained throughout their four years of high school. They were initiated at the annual Cum Laude dinner, held this year on May 10th. Mr. Richard C. Gale of Wayzata was the speaker, and he gave an extremely amusing and interesting talk on the Minnesota government and legislature. The Cum Laude society was founded at the Tome School in 1906 with the purpose of encouraging and rewarding high attainment on the part of students in secondary schools. The means used to accomplish these ends are similar to those employed by the Phi Beta Kappa society. Chapters have been established in a number of outstanding preparatory schools. Blake became a member of the society on February 12. 1927. 72 O F 'THIRTY NINE Charles C. Bovey Franklin M. Crosby John Crosby Eugene C. Alder Paul Bosanko M. Henry Bittinger Donald A.

Gale Vice President....................Mrs. Charles C. Buckland Treasurer.........................Mrs. Robert Woodworth Secretary.............................Mrs. Kingsley Ervin IT WAS decided this year to have separate form meetings instead of the regular fall business meeting of the whole Association. Many felt that this plan offered a greater opportunity to discuss problems of the individual classes than would the meeting of a larger, more formal group. The gatherings were held on consecutive Monday mornings through the fall immediately after chapel. A mother from each form was appointed to preside, and the problems peculiar to each age were discussed. This proved a most satisfactory plan, and the meetings were well attended. At a special meeting of the executive board in January it was resolved to vote each spring the part scholarship which it has become the custom of the Association to award in the autumn, thus insuring that the money be on hand before it is presented. The annual parents and teachers dinner was held at the senior school on April twenty-fifth. After dinner an interesting program opened with several numbers by the Glee Club. A few lively selections from “Pinafore'' gave evidence of much patient and thorough coaching by Mr. Avery. Mr. Alder gave a brief talk on the changes which will occur next year in the faculties of the Junior and Senior schools. He spoke with deep feeling of the death of Mr. Lamb, much loved Head of the Lower School. Miss MacDonald who has been Head of the Junior school for many years has resigned because of her health, and Mr. George B. Forbes of the Harley School in Rochester, N. Y. will succeed her. Honored with a fellowship at Yale, Mr. Savage will have leave of absence for a year. Mr. Conley of the English department has resigned to continue study for another degree. The special guest of the evening, Mr. Charles Tillinghast, headmaster of the Horace Mann School in New York, closed the program with a delightful and stimulating talk on those things an intelligent parent should observe in the education of his child Respectfully submitted, 74 MARIAN ERVIN, Secretary. O F 'THIRTY nine DORMITORIES THE Blake dormitories, consisting of the Blake House and the West House, have been quite well filled this year. Mr. and Mrs. Lundholm and Mr. Bryan were in charge of Blake House, while Mr. and Mrs. Lamb retained the responsibilities of leadership in the West House. The boys who lived in the dormitories this year were George Barbour, Henry Barbour. Malcolm Cameron, Peavey Heffelfinger, John Spencer, Chuck Whittaker, and Bill Zinsmaster. In addition to these boys, several Minneapolis boys have boarded at the dormitories in the absence of their parents to avail themselves of skilled scholastic guidance and help from the masters in charge. In way of explanation, it is necessary to state that Blake House is for the students of the Upper School, while the West House lodges the boys of the Lower School. However, at times, older boys reside at the latter dormitory. Fifteen boys can be accommodated in the houses. In 1920 Blake officially opened its first dormitory, although some boys had been boarding at a private home near the school previous to that date. One of the masters and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Clough, were put in charge of this dormitory, Blake House. A few years afterward, Mr. and Mrs. Hallenbeck 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. Mr. Bittinger came to Blake in 1930, and when Mr. Slater left to go to Adelphi Academy, he took over the position of chief master of the Blake House. Last year Mr. Conley assisted Mr. Bittinger. This year Mr. Bittinger became an urban dweller, and was succeeded by Mr. and Mrs. Lundholm, assisted by Mr. Bryan. West House is a rather recent addition to the Blake Boarding Department, having its beginning in 1926. At this time Mr. and Mrs. Lamb took over the responsibilities of leadership, and have remained there ever since. During these years, Mr. Foss, Mr. Horne, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Bittinger, Mr. Wagner, and Mr Pithie have served as Associate Master at the West House. In closing this article we must pay tribute to Mr. Lamb, whose recent death was not only a blow to the student body, but was especially felt by the boys living in the dormitories. 75 THE CALL O' PAN flMJOR SPORTS O F 'T H I R T y - N I N E WHEN the Council of the Athletic Association met at the beginning of the school year, a new type of budget was adopted. The appropriations to the various teams were cut, and the general fund was enlarged considerably. However, items such as letters, pictures, and engravings were to be taken from the general fund and were not to be paid by the separate teams. The chief work of the Athletic Association this year consisted of two amendments to its constitution. The first amendment changed the election of captains of all sports to the latter part of the spring term and provided for the order in which they were to be elected. The second amendment concerned the sweater award and will go into effect next year. To win a sweater under the new requirements, a boy must make five varsity letters or three varsity letters in the same year. This requirement also excludes letters won by managers. The sweater will have stripes on the arm as an added distinction. Officers 79 President . Vice President Secretary . Henry Kingman Peter Dorsey Bert Martin THE CALL O' PAN Standing: Gluek.

Beckley FOOTBALL BLAKE'S football team this year had an outstanding and very successful season, for it won five games, and tied one to continue last year's undefeated record. After seven lettermen, all valuable players, graduated from Blake last June, prospects for another winning team seemed rather dark. However, Mike Horne and Shube Owen produced an eleven which had even more determination and will-to-win than its predecessor at Blake, although it had considerably less natural ability. Led by Captain Nels Drake at tackle and Bert Martin at end, the Bears staved off defeat time and again with miraculous goal-line stands. Then, in the season's final game, Blake defeated its traditional foe, S.P.A., with as courageous a comeback as has ever been seen on a Blake athletic field. Blake 6—De LaSalle 0. In their first game, the Bears overcame De LaSalle by the narrow margin of six points. The contest took place on the Blake field, and the home team dominated the play most of the game. The only score came in the third quarter when Blake recovered a De La Salle fumble on the latter's thirty-five yard line. Neils tossed a pass to Martin who was downed on the five. Two plays later, fullback Pete Dorsey plunged for the touchdown that won the game Blake 6—Robbinsdale 0. For the season's second game Blake journeyed to Robbinsdale and there won a thrilling battle. After a week's practice following the De La Salle encounter, the offense seemed much improved. Bob Neils, who did the bulk of the ball-carrying, scored for Blake thirty seconds before the 80 O F 'T H I R T y NINE end of the first half. However, the line of the Brown and White was the game's deciding factor. It held Robbinsdale's razzle-dazzle'' offense in check almost constantly and three times stopped its opponents inside the ten yard line. In the fourth quarter Robbinsdale reached the one yard line, but the Bears held there and thus made victory certain. Blake 25—Patrick Henry 0. On its home field Blake won an easy victory over Patrick Henry by a one-sided score. The Bears' offense was superior to their opponents' in almost every respect, while their defense kept the opposing team from crossing the Blake goal-line for the third straight time. The only score in the first half was made by Jack Bonner, Blake half-back, on a reverse. In the second half, however, two touchdowns were made on passes from Neils to Martin. The fourth score came at the end of a ninety-five yard march on an end run by Neils, who also made Blake's only point after touchdown. Blake 7—Shattuck 7. In a driving blizzard Blake traveled to Shattuck only to find the field covered with two inches of snow. However, the game was played, and the two elevens fought to a tie in the slush and cold. The Bears seemed to be on their way to victory when, in the first quarter, Martin took a pass from Neils to score a touchdown. The same play accounted for the extra point which later assumed so much importance. In the second quarter the Shads made a touchdown and then tied the score at 7 to 7 with the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter, the Shads carried the ball to Blake's one yard line, and then to the six inch line. On the next play, the last of the game, a Shattuck back plunged into the line, but a mass of players in Brown and White hurled him back. Blake 38—Breck 0. In its third home game Blake ran wild over Breck and roiled up a tremendous score. In the first half Neils scored three touchdowns. Then, during the third quarter, Laramee was moved to the backfield and ran wild, crossing the Breck goal-line twice. The final touchdown came on a reverse from Neils to Kingman. Laramee and Neils scored one point after touchdown each. Blake 12—S.P.A. 6. On homecoming day Blake met the larger and more powerful S.P.A. eleven and for the first half of the game was outplayed by a considerable margin. Indeed, the Bears were lucky that the score was only 6-0 against them as they ended the second quarter. But in the third and fourth periods the Brown and White eleven courageously fighting a heavier, hard-playing team, battled gamely to win. Laramee, playing in the backfield, tied the score at 6 to 6 when he burst over center for a touchdown. However, the attempt for the extra point was no good. Still undaunted, Blake started another march which ended when Laramee plunged for a touchdown from the two-yard line 81 4 MIKE'S COMMENTS ON THE LETTERMEN NELS DRAKE—proved to be an excellent captain by his example of hard work, knowledge of the game, and qualities of leadership. PETE DORSEY—was changed from line to backfield this year and soon caught on and played a good steady game. He has the ability and personality which should make him a fine captain in 1939. BERT MARTIN—probably the smartest and most dependable player ever to don a Blake uniform. FRANK McDONALD—a hard worker of average ability who turned in a better than average performance. MIKE'S COMMENTS ON THE LETTERMEN HEINIE KINGMAN -deserves the highest praise of any member of the squad. Hampered by injury and size, he never quit, and was the spark that fired the team to a comeback in the St. Paul game. LOUIS LARAMEE—found himself this year, and showed what he had always had in the final game of the year. GEORGE WATERS—after taking a beating for several years on the second team, George finally arrived and played a good game at end. BERT MOKROS—showed improvement over the preceding year, still lacks the aggressiveness necessary to be tops. 83 MIKE'S COMMENTS ON THE LETTERMEN JACK BONNER -it was necessary for Jack to play several positions during the season—he turned in a creditable performance in each. BOB NEILS—was bothered in the first part of the season by the added load of directing the team on the field, however when he became accustomed to this responsibility he hit his stride, and played his usual fine game DON McCARTHY —was prevented by injury from showing his best during most of the season. Likes football too well not to be heard from in the future. AL GLUEK—young, light, but all kinds of guts. With the past year's experience and added weight, he should be outstanding next year. 84 MIKE'S COMMENTS ON THE LETTERMEN BILL DRAKE—showed considerable improvement over last season and has by no means reached the limit of his ability. JIM COWIN—a first year man who came along fast during the season and was playing an excellent game toward the close. PEAVY HEFFELFINGER—another first year man who began to catch on towards the close of the season. Has the ability to be a great football player if he wishes. TOM BECKLEY —as manager kept the team well supplied with those incidentals necessary for the smooth operation on and off the field. 85 T H E CALL O' PAN Standing: Flannery. Dorsey. Shearer. Mokros. Hanson. Gluek A., Mr. Savage Seated: Burton, Laramee, Martin, Kingman H., Waters HOCKEY THIS year, to everybody's surprise, Blake's hockey team enjoyed a very satisfactory season and carried off the championship of its conference. On the first day of practice, there seemed little hope of developing a team which would uphold Blake's hockey reputation, for there were only four lettermen returning from last year's undefeated squad. However, Coach John Savage molded a team of newcomers around these four veterans, and this group of inexperienced players became better and better as the winter passed. When the season ended, the Bears had a record of six victories and four defeats. But the greatest achievement of the hockey team was the winning of the Red Squirrel trophy, emblematic of the championship in the league composed of Blake, Shattuck, and S. P. A. After the Red Squirrels, a team made up of graduates of these three schools, won the handsome trophy in the Minnesota Amateur Hockey Tournament, they declared that it should go each year to the winner in this three-team conference. Blake won it this year, the first of competition for it . The first game this season was played on January 11 at Marshall, and the Bears lost 2 to 0. Three days later, however, they met the Carleton freshmen on the Blake rink. There, despite the poor ice, the players of the Brown and White eked out a 1 to 0 victory. On January 20. the third game of the year was played. On their home ice. the Bears met Cretin and lost 2 to 1. Nevertheless, Blake showed considerable improvement over its previous performances and played very well against the exceptionally fast Cretin outfit. On the twenty-third of January, the team 86 O F 'THIRTY NINE had an off day when it played St. Paul Central at Blake, but still managed to defeat a much inferior aggregation from across the river by the narrow margin of 2 to 1. The following Thursday, however, the Bears' play improved and, in a very hard-fought game, they overcame St. Thomas 2 to 1 on the latter's rink. Then, on the first of February, the team went over to S.P.A. and there defeated the Cadets. The Bears were playing the hardest and best hockey they had shown so far in the season, while the soft ice slowed up the speedy skaters of the home team. At the end of the game. Blake was ahead 3 to 1 and thus had one conference victory to its credit already. On the following Saturday, the Bears traveled to Shattuck and won their second league game. After the Shads gained a 1 to 0 lead in the first period, in which Blake played very poor hockey, the boys in Brown and White came to life with a barrage of goals that swamped the team in red. The final score was 4 to 1 for Blake. The Bears' string of victories was broken, however, on February 17. On that day S.P.A. invaded the Blake rink and overwhelmed the Brown and White team by the decisive score of 3 to 1. No longer hindered by poor ice as in the first Blake-S.P.A. game, the Cadets could make full use of their advantage in speed and outplayed their slower opponents throughout the game. Then, on the home rink, the Bears clinched the Red Squirrel trophy by defeating Shattuck 2 to 0. The game was played on the twentieth of February on good ice. After a slow first period, Blake scored twice and then assumed the defensive to ward off the Shads' attempts to even the count. The final game of the year took place at Blake on February 23. Since the first Cretin game the Bears had improved considerably. Nevertheless, the St. Paul team was still slightly superior to Blake's aggregation and won a close contest by the score of 4 to 3. All in all, the hockey team this year was good, but not exceptional. The offense was rather weak because none of the forwards were fast skaters. This lack of scoring ability is shown by the fact that in all ten games Blake made only nineteen goals. However, all the forwards except Kingman will be back next year so the Bears' attack should be much better then. Defensively, Blake played very well, for only fifteen goals were scored against the Bears throughout the entire season. Although Waters and Laramee graduate this June, Mokros and Dorsey, both able defensemen, wil be back next season. But the loss which will be felt most keenly next year will be that of Captain Bert Martin. Time and again during the past years he has saved games for Blake with stops that no goalie could be expected to make. Even before the first game was played, there was no doubt that he would receive the Dartmouth Trophy for the most valuable player. Since there are only four lettermen who graduate this spring, next year should be an outstanding one in the annals of Blake hockey. 87 T H E CALL O' PAN Standing Dayton W.. Mr. Bittinger. Gluek, Neils. Bonner. Duff P., Mr. Owen Seated: Drake N., Waters, Martin. Kingman. Laramee. Dobson, Drake W„ McCartney BASEBALL AT the beginning of practice this spring, baseball prospects were not too promising, for such outstanding players as Monty Wells, Jock and Sandy Thompson, John Brooks, and Jim Wyman had graduated. However, the team has developed steadily and should certainly continue to improve as the season progresses. At first there was little batting punch in the line-up, but that weakness now seems to have been remedied somewhat. Moreover, the defensive play is generally good although several costly errors have been made in the past games. As for the pitching. Bill McCartney, Squid Laramee, and A1 Gluek have all started games and seem to be about equal in ability. With his tantalizing curve, Tom Dobson has several times been very effective as a relief pitcher. Behind the plate. Billy Drake is doing a fine job for his first year as catcher, while he has proved to be a real threat at bat. George Waters is playing his usual fine game around first base, while A1 Gluek has shown considerable ability at second. Captain Heinie Kingman has been forced to play right field because of an injured arm, but lately he has been playing very good baseball at second. On the hot corner, Bob Neils, a newcomer to that position, is filling Sandy Thompson's shoes very capably. Bert Martin has been moved to shortstop this year and there is playing just as brilliantly as he has played for the past three years at second base. Moreover, he is among Blake's leading hitters No outfielder has as yet definitely gained a regular position, lack Bonner is the leading centerfield candidate, while Heinie Kingman has played right field when not at second base. Nels Drake and Laramee seem to 88 O F 'THIRTY NINE be the next best outfielders, though John Spencer, Ray Plank, Frank Heffel-finger, and Phil Duff are close on their heels. The Bears opened the season on April 21 at Concordia, and there lost by a very decisive score. However. Blake had not practiced for a week and was obviously not yet ready for a game. Then, on May 4, Patrick Henry came to the diamond of the Brown and White and returned home the losers by a 12 to 0 count. Bill McCartney pitched a brilliant, no-hit game for Blake, while the Bears' batting showed considerable improvement over what they showed in the first game. The next day Blake was defeated 8 to 5 by a strong De La Salle nine. However, the game, which was played at Blake, was very close. If the Bears had not committed a few errors which gave the Islanders several runs, the outcome might have been different. On May 8, the Brown and White journeyed to Bethel and there won an easy victory over a much inferior team by the score of 11 to 2. Laramee held the losers to three hits. Two days later the Bears lost a heart-breaking game to Shattuck on the Blake diamond. Both teams played exceptionally well, and it was only after an extra inning that the Shads gained a one-run margin over the Bears to win 4 to 3. On May 12, however, Blake met S.P.A. on the former's grounds and trounced the Cadets 8 to 5. After the Shattuck defeat, the team had been changed considerably and showed great improvement. A1 Gluek, pitching his first varsity game for Blake, held the visitors to one run until the final inning when Tom Dobson entered the game to stop a barrage of hits. Certainly all success the team enjoys throughout the rest of the season will be, in a large measure, a result of Shube Owen's excellent coaching Despite lack of material, he has for years been producing teams equal to those of schools twice the size of Blake. Under his guidance, the Bears should continue to win this season. 89 SIHOdS HOUIIU N V d ,0 1 1 V D a h i OF 'THIRTY-NINE Standing: Mr. Hartmann, Helfelfinger P., Dayton W., Drake W„ Bonner. McDonald. Mr. Bosanko Seated: Rotering. Gallenkamp, Eaton. Drake N:. Moore F. SWIMMING UNDER the excellent coaching of Johnny Hartmann and the fine direction of Mr. Bosanko, this year's swimming team enjoyed a successful though not impressive season. For the second year, the team was very capably managed by Ed Callahan. Captain Eaton by dint of hard work and constant practice turned in a very creditable performance in the 220-yard free style and proved to be an outstanding man on the relay and medley teams. The high point winner of the year was Nels Drake. Nels won the Arthur cup and in addition to this was awarded the Guy Thomas trophy. He regularly swam the 100-yard backstroke and took part in the medley. We might further add that he broke the school record in the 100-yard backstroke. Frank McDonald and Wally Dayton were the other senior members of the swimming team. Both were reliable and turned in good performances, Wally in the 220 and relay and Frank in the 40-yard dash and relay. The only other veteran of last year's swimming team was Bill Drake, who made a fine showing throughout the season. Much praise is due the new members of the team. All turned in creditable first year performances. George Gallenkamp as the team's only diver, Frank and Peavy Heffelfinger in the backstroke and 40-yard dash respectively. Jack Bonner and Dinty Moore in the breaststroke, and Saycr Rotering and Crane Winton in the 220, all deserve the highest of commendation. Crane Winton should be especially commended as he is only a Second Former. With these excellent prospects, future Blake swimming teams should set an enviable record 93 T H E CALL o' pan Mr. Cleveland, Shearer. McCarthy, Cleveland. Burton TENNIS ALTHOUGH at the time this book goes to press it is too early in the season to predict with certainty the outcome of the tennis team, the showing up to this date has been excellent. The team is made up of four returning veterans, all of whom won letters the previous year. These lettermen are Captain Don McCarthy, Manager John Cleveland, John Burton, and Roddy Shearer. Shearer has been playing number one, Burton two, McCarthy three, and Cleveland four. The first doubles combination has been Shearer and Burton and the second McCarthy and Cleveland. The team's first match was with Concordia whom they defeated 4-2. De LaSalle was then beaten by a score of 5-0. The net men met their first defeat at the hands of the Shattuck team by the score of 4-1, but regained their winning form to win from S. P. A. by a score of 6-0. The tennis team is anxiously looking forward to return matches with all of these schools as well as several contests with other schools. Coach Cleveland should indeed be congratulated on the team's fine showing so far this season. Recently Roddy Shearer won the school tennis tournament, for which he will receive the faculty tennis cup. 94 7T H I R T y - N I N E GOLF IN spite of tremendous losses suffered by the golf team through the graduation of the top three men of last year's aggregation, the team has made a fine showing under the able direction of Coach Glenn. In the first matches, Captain George Flannery has been playing number one man, while Al Sheldon, Stew Hanson, and Clint Stacy have alternated in the second, third, and fourth positions. Dayton, K., Hodgson, Rotering, Williams, and Dunnavan are the other members of the golf squad. So far this spring the team has won two matches, tied two, and lost two. The first contest ended in a tie with St. Louis Park and the second in a defeat at the hands of Central by a score of 4l 2-7V2- However, the next two matches with S. P. A. and Shattuck were won by the scores of 7-5 and 91 2 21 2 respectively. The golfers were then beaten by West 4-8, and a return match with S. P. A. resulted in a 6-6 tie. Several matches are yet to be played before the close of the season. In the tournament held among the members of the golf team, Albert Sheldon won first place and will have his name engraved upon the Michelson trophy. 95 T H E CALL O' PAN COEFFICIENTS THIS year the Blake coefficient teams had an unusually successful season in football, but on the diamond the boys of the Brown and White did not enjoy equal success. Indeed, neither the A, B, nor C team lost a football game to S.P.A., while on the other hand, the Blake nines have not yet been able to defeat their St. Paul rivals. On the A team field last fall, Mr. Glenn produced a very powerful eleven. In its first encounter with the Blue and Gold of the Academy, the Blake team ran wild. Dave Owen and Mark Heffelfinger combined to score eight touchdowns and make the final score 56-0. Two weeks later, the S.P.A. team, playing on its home field, showed great improvement, but still the Bears won 14-0. The most thrilling play of the game came when Chet Simmons, Blake’s right end, stole the ball from the hands of an opposing ball-carrier and raced sixty-five yards for a touchdown. In the spring, however, the A team lost to the Academy nine 6-4. The B teams of S.P.A. and Blake were very evenly matched this year, especially in football. In their first football game, the two elevens battled to a 6-6 tie. After two weeks of practice, the B teams met again. Both had improved greatly but this game too ended in a tie, this time a scoreless one. When the time came for baseball, however, someone had to win. and the Academy team defeated Mr. Lundholm’s nine 4-0. Under Mr. Bittinger, who has for years been making winning football elevens out of inexperienced first formers, the C team won two close victories from the Blue and Gold last fall. In the first game the teams played on even terms until the old statue of liberty play put the ball in scoring position for Blake. Then Raines plunged over the line for the touchdown that won the game 6-0 for the Brown and White. After two weeks, the C team again beat S.P.A., and by the same score. On the diamond, too, it looked as if Blake’s C team would win, but the St. Paul boys finally eked out an 8-7 victory. On the whole, then, this year has been successful for the coefficient teams. 96 'THIRTY. N INE T H E CALL O' PAN LEnS SHOTS COEFFICIENT FOOTBALL May I cut in?

AUTOMATIC op U TYPE 139 ’’Don't believe them, son., they don't mean it” My dear Son: Your plaint dated March 2k was received, and read with interest and sympathy. And, if you’ll pardon me, with a trace of amusement. I suppose it does seem queer that you should have so much trouble with receptionists. After you've spent four years in college specializing in life insurance and allied tax and investment subjects, and followed that with a good practical course in life underwriting, no wonder you think that men who need life Insurance, and need your help in planning it, should be waiting for you in their reception rooms when you get off the elevator. However, it's sad but true that even if men believe thoroughly in life Insurance, and need and want more, it's still extremely painful for them to write checks for it. So they take refuge in the darkest corners of their offices, and call you hard names. Don't believe them, son - they don't moan it. When you've been in this business as long as I haye, you will have seen boys and girls go through college on the accumulations of life insurance, and you will have seen older men and women retire and enjoy themselves on the proceeds of their policies. Still more Important, you will know several widows who have been able to bring up their children because of their husband's life insurance. Every nan you call on knows the truth of these things, and dcvn in his heart he wants you to make him buy the insurance he should have. My boy, from the vantage point of my years, I've come to believe that very few men in the pursuit of their everyday business are able to do other people as much lasting good as a life underwriter. Keep that in your heart, for your own comfort. But remember - to succeed at your work, to make men buy the insurance they'll some day thank Heaven they own, you have to keep after them. For it's human nature for people to put off doing the thing they know they should do, and the moat important part of your Job is to keep them from putting it off until it's too late.

It is the only Minneapolis newspaper that is a memi cr of the North American Newspaper Alliance ... a group that has produce I some of the finest foreign correspondence of recent years.

Today almost every Blake graduate goes on to college. And even after finishing his formal education, under present conditions every man must continue to educate himself, must keep constantly abreast of all the momentous changes that are taking place in this fast moving world. Fortunately, the people of Minneapolis today have in The Star a newspaper that makes it easy to keep well informed. The Star's editing technique provides background material, informative maps and illustrations right along with the day's news. Says Dr. George Gallup, president of the American Institute of Public Opinion, the nation's leading research expert: The Minneapolis Star, by the way it handles and presents its news and features, is a decade ahead of almost every other American paper.
