NOAH SYLVESTER FOSS Latin B.A.. Dartmouth College Senior Master of Upper School Assistant Headmaster ALMOST every Blake boy has had the opportunity of studying Latin under our Assistant Headmaster. Mr. Foss; and all will tell you of the painstaking care with which he manages his classes. Certainly the excellent record of his students in the College Board examinations is ample proof of their thorough training in Latin under his tutelage. In the Union this year he has faithfully served with Mr. Bryan as faculty advisor. Outside of school. Mr. Foss' interests lie in music and in his cabin on the St. Croix, to which he has begun a custom of inviting his Vergil students every year. In addition, he is an enthusiastic traveler, having been lucky enough to make a trip to Switzerland last summer and return safely. MR. HORNE is equally at home teaching biology to Seniors or geography and hygiene to Lower Schoolers. Also, as head of athletics at Blake, he is equally skilled at administering first aid or disciplinary swats. His record as coach of the Blake School football team is an excellent one. for the squad, though always light, invariably receives from him the best of sound coaching. During the past year he has been especially busy building and improving his new home opposite the school. Fishing and gardening occupy much of the rest of his time, but his greatest pleasure comes from administering defeats to Blake's foes on the athletic field. He also serves in the capacity of Administrator of Grounds and Buildings — purchasing agent for the school. OWEN EDWARD HORNE Biology. Geography. Hygiene B.P.E..

EUGENE CHARLES ALDER Headmaster B.A.. Kansas University: M.A.. Harvard University: University of Berlin German MR. ALDER THE outstanding leadership of our headmaster has been the main factor in the school life of Blake; and his example, the model of all Blake boys. To him in large measure is due the credit for the present standing of Blake among the preparatory schools of the country. In his years of experience as headmaster he has not only inspired the confidence of all who have had any connection with the school, but has also won their respect and friendship. Perhaps his most important contribution to our school life is the spirit of school loyalty so strong in all Blake boys—a spirit he has done so much to promote. 11

n i n e t e e n f 7'HE chief hobbies and interests of Mr. Westmark lie almost completely at Blake. With the exception of his manual training activities, most students have little conception of the amount of work Mr. Westmark puts in to help the Dramatic Association with lighting and staging; the Art Department in cutting stencils and printing their many posters: the hockey team in the construction of its two warming houses; and. last but not least, Blake School itself in repairing clocks, drinking fountains, broken chairs, etc. In addition to his Senior Blake activities. Mr. Westmark visits the Junior School twice a week to teach manual training to the lads there. HENRY ARTHUR WESTMARK Manual Training University of Minnesota. Stout Institute PRESCOTT COYLE CLEVELAND English B.S.. Union College Secretary of Faculty MR. CLEVELAND has served the school in many ways. In the fall and spring he gives instruction to all boys interested in tennis and has coached many outstanding tennis teams in recent years. However, this work represents only a small part of Mr. Cleveland's activities. Either the Junior or Senior Class often choose him for advisor. As head of the English Department, he is also advisor to the Publications Board. His is the hard job of checking over finances and subject material of the TORCH and CALL O' PAN. During the winter Mr. Cleveland helps Mr. Bittinger with the coaching of the debate team. Following his secretarial trait. Mr. Cleveland is secretary of the faculty and faculty treasurer of the Athletic Association as well. With all these activities, our English professor might be called the Advisor-at-large of Blake. 13
