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 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

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
