Every one realizes that as the head of the history department at such an institution. Mr. Bittinger will have advanced greatly in the teaching profession. But as a teacher, a leader, and a friend, his loss will be seriously felt. For countless Blake boys his excellent teaching has brought to life the pages of history. His fine coaching has been of great value to the debating teams of many years. He was the creator and has been the guiding influence of the Blake Forum. He has served as coach of the Death Valley football team and the A baseball team. But. most of all. his influence has been felt in the background of school life. His is the peculiar knack of applying nicknames that stick. His witticisms become bywords among the students. His advice is always worth following. So it is with true regret that we of Blake say good-bye to Mr. Bittinger. He leaves a gap in our lives which will never again be quite filled.

CLEVELAND Mr. Cleveland has been our class adviser during our last two years at Blake. In this time, through sheer perseverance and effort, he has wrought a remarkable change in a group which at one time was unusually and regrettably lacking in esprit de corps. The debt we owe him. both as a class and as individuals, for his interest and wise advice, can be acknowledged only too meagerly by our thanks here at this time. 21 THE (ALL 0’ PAD OF 1941 Back Row: F.

It started in the first grade of the former Junior School on Colfax Avenue, with four members: Fansler. King. Kuechle, and Simmons. With these four boys as a nucleus, the class gradually gained in numbers and varied personalities until now we are ready to graduate with twenty-five members and the feeling that we have maintained the high standards which have been set by former Blake graduating classes. I he class didn't acquire another permanent member until the versatile Dave Preus was added in 1933. He was followed a year later by George Gallenkamp. 19 34 was also the year that the class moved to the “school on the hill.” It didn’t take long, with a few visits to the Senior Room, for the boys to catch on to the rules of the school. 19 35 was a bountiful year for our class, with the entrance of four of its most famous members: Sam Ashmun. the class jitterbug: Ely Farr, the pet of the faculty: Bob Maxeiner. the man with the rare scent of humor: and Dinty Moore, the Grantland Rice of the class. The next year our numbers were increased and enriched even more by the entrance of Bob Bowen, valedictorian: Sheldon Childs, a stand-by on Mr. Glenn’s golf team: King Ervin, Mr. Cleveland's pride and joy: A1 Gluek. the head boy. Bill How’s About an Ad’’ Lahiff: and Frank Olin, the little man with a big voice. 22 in the SECono foRm With “Onward and Upward as a motto, the class of 41 left the Third Form and entered proudly into the Upper School. Here several more students joined our ranks. The athletic standard was strengthened by the addition of Bonner. Howard DeLaittre. a quiet lad with hidden charms, added in many ways. Hayes, the Cum Laude man, journeyed over from Ramsey Junior High. 1937 also marked the entrance of two class Romeos. Jim Hield and Roddy Shearer. Last, but by no means least, there entered George Williams, the human dynamo. The class was given a big hand in 1938 when Bruce Fetzer joined our ranks. Art Hoaglund launched his dramatic career, climaxed this year with a character that would make even Bob Hope's Brenda and Cobina look like beauty queens. And finally a most distinguished personage entered our midst in 1939 in the form of Governor Badger. This year our class was well represented in all extra-curricular activities. We had our leaders in scholarship, athletics, and the organizations. Every boy had at least one interest outside the classroom—athletics, music, dramatics, or publications. We hope and trust that our record has not been weighed and found wanting in the mind of anyone at Blake. Although these boys will scatter throughout the country next year at many different colleges, and will pursue different paths all through life, through all the experiences they will encounter they will always hold the memories of happy days spent at Blake close to their hearts. in THE FIFTH FOR m THE CALL 0 ’ PAf) Of 1941 CLIFFORD SAMUEL ASHMUN, JR. Entered Blake 1935 'Sam Williams Begone, dull care! Thou and I shall never agree. —Playford SINCE the day Sam first stepped into Mr. Hodgkinson's General Science class one bright morning late in November. the class of ’41 has been continually amazed by the feats of this happy-go-lucky fellow. He is most famous in the school because of his good nature and sense of humor. He is outstanding in the class, although many may not know it. in that he is always ready to help a fiiend in need. Outside of school he is best known by his exhibition of horses. Throughout the local circuit he has proved himself to be one of the best by taking many firsts in equestrian classes. Not only a master of horsemanship. Sam is also a developer of hunters and jumpers of no mean ability. On the athletic field Sam has worked very hard. For years he was the third baseman on many a coefficient team, and he has played hockey for the last few years on the mighty second varsity team. As for public speaking, his speech on New Orleans in his Junior year will be forgotten by few. Now that Sad Sam has learned the complete rules of Spin the Bottle, we feel sure that he will succeed at Williams, and we wish him the best of luck. 24 THE CALL 0’ PAI) Of 1941 STEPHEN SAMMIS BADGER Entered Blake 1939 ’Steve, Governor Minnesota We arc Republicans, and do not propose to leave our party. —Burchard : v� T HE face at the top of this page belongs to none other than Stephen S. Badger, future Governor of Minnesota and President of the United States. Steve, an old-guard Republican, has been the recipient of countless numbers of Mr. Bitt’s Jeffersonian quips. In fact, politics seems to have been “the Governor’s'' main interest since time immemorial. Soon after he entered Blake last year. Steve made it known that he was an ardent supporter of the Stassen administration and a bitter foe of the New Deal. T his winter he found in debating a way to express his feelings and argued loud and long that the Federal Government should be given no more power. Steve took up dramatics this year, and he also served as a waiter in the Upper School. That he is popular among his classmates is attested to by the fact that he was elected to the Union last fall and chosen treasurer of that body for 1941. He is just as popular with the members of the opposite sex and was chosen one of the handsomest in his class last year. Having entered Blake in his Junior year, a difficult thing to do. Steve had some trouble with his studies last year, but he soon became firmly established in Blake and his marks have been good all year. On the gridiron last fall. Steve won a much-deserved letter: he plays tennis in the spring and is interested in track. Steve plans to study law at the University to prepare for a political career. 25 T H E CALL O’ P A n Of 19 4 1 JOHN FARRINGTON BONNER, JR. Entered Blake 19 57 Jack Minnesota I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.’'—Shakespeare ALMOST every time this last year when the walls of the Senior Room echoed with loud laughter, the cause was one of the stories ripped off with gestures by this descendant of old “Colonel Benner of Holly Springs. Mississippi”. Doubtless Jack would be voted the best story-teller of the Seniors, with his manner and his material. But his accomplishments go further than telling stories. Jack has established a great record on the football field and the baseball diamond. For four successive years he has won letters in both those sports. His inspiration as captain of the football team was responsible in great part for its success. His strong right arm was a standby on the pitching mound this spring, and we all like to remember how his hat always fell off when he was catching a fly in center field. His athletic record would be incomplete without mention of his acting as president of the Athletic Association and Captain of the Whites. As class president for the last two years and president and member of long standing in the Union. Jack was the leader of his class. He was a member of the Dramatic Association for two years and of the Glee Club for three. His strong voice was responsible for the first bass part in the quartet this year. Jack plans to study pre-law at Minnesota next year, unless he joins the army. We wonder which he would be better as: a lawyer, or a drill-sergeant. 26 THE CALL 0 ’ ROBERT ENOCHS BOWEN Entered Blake 1936 “Bob'’ Minnesota “Every why hath a wherefore.”—Shakespeare P A n Of 19 4 1 ANY one who knows Bob only from contacts at school must be completely unaware of the great and varied interests he has outside school work. We all know that Bob has been the leader of the class for several years, and is graduating as valedictorian and a member of the Cum Laude society. His fine record extends too to the winning of the Union medal in the Fifth Form, to membership to the Union this year and to membership in many of the extracurricular activities about the school. He was a member of the Dramatic Association for two years, of debating for three years, and of the Glee Club for five years. As managing editor of the TORCH he slaved as hard as anybody over those monthly four pages. He was also a haunter of the depths of the kitchen for the last two years, and made quite a mark at earning extra money by serving as head waiter twice on the same day. It is. however, outside of school that Bob really expands. He is an Eagle Scout and Assistant Scoutmaster. He diddles with the piano. He has built several radios. He has a collection of scores of cactus plants and is the only person we know who has a moccasin flower in his front yard. Bob frankly doesn't know what he wants to study at Minnesota next fall, but we are sure that with all he has to offer, he will make his place whatever he does. 27 T H E CALL P A n OF 19 4 1 SHELDON MILLS CHILDS Entered Blake 19 6. 1940 Shel Minnesota A little work, a little play, to keep us going. —Du Maurier SHEL returned this year from West to polish off his education with a Blake Post Graduate course. He has been the envy of the whole class, since, without having to worry about graduating, he can gleefully sit back and observe the frantic endeavors of his classmates to obtain those elusive certifying grades. But Shel has worked hard on his studies, and his scholastic recoid is a good one. Although he is one of the quieter members of the class, in his spare moments he has contributed his share toward mangling the few pieces of furniture still standing in the Senior Room. In the winter Shel earned his letter with the Bosanko Bathers, and contributed many a victory in the 220-yard dash. Spring found our hero batting a golf ball around the Minikahda links as a mainstay of the golf team. Shel’s hobby is his trumpet, and his playing is somewhat reminiscent of Harry James. In his case we are inclined to believe that still water runs deep, for his popularity among the members of the fairer sex is little short of sensational. With his ready smile and amicable manner. Shel is a friend of everyone at Blake, and we predict that he will go far at Minnesota, the college of his choice, where he is undertaking a course in engineering. 28 THE CALL O’ P A f) OF 19 4 1 HOWARD MALCOLM DELAITTRE Entered Blake 1937 Howard'' Lehigh “Satire's my weapon, but I’m too discreet To run amuck and tilt at all 1 meet. —Pope CAVEMAN DcLaittre has been setting the example for the class of '41 as to how to treat the members of the fairer sex ever since he entered Blake in 1937. His suave appearance and rough technic have caused many a heart to nutter. For several seasons Howard worked hard on the gridiron, but then decided to lend his power to wheeling a tennis racket. This latter trick he knows very well. In '40 and '41 he was top-ranking breast-stroker for the Blake tankmen. His flaming red hair was always an exception to the rule of fiery temperament, for he always set an example of calmness before the meets. As an actor. Howard does a grand job. As a red-haired siren last year he made Belle Watling look tame. As a tough criminal this year he would have been a match even for Dick Tracy. This year Howard also lent his baritone voice to the Glee Club, and did a good job as first bass. His musical tendencies don’t stop with singing. His rendition of Maple Leaf Rag on the piano is scintillating. It was a familiar sight during Lower School lunch hour to see this tall figure gliding about with a tray balanced on one hand. The best part of this talent was that the tray was always balanced. Howard will matriculate at L.ehigh next year for a session with electrical engineering. Such is the faith of his classmates that several already have promised him their wiring contracts in the future. 29 T H E CALL O’ P A n Of 19 4 1 KINGSLEY ERVIN, JR. Entered Blake 1936 'King'' Harvard “My early and invincible love of reading 1 would not exchange for the treasures of India.” —Gibbon IF you ever sec a tall figure at the piano break off in the middle of a strain of classical or popular or improvised music, and unwind itself from its perch, you know it is the youngest of the Seniors, name of King. For half his life King has been familiar with the reaches of the black and white ivory. But his first love has been books and writing. Winner of the Chapel Speech contest in his Junior year and winner of the Williams Theme contest in his Senior year. King has been a leader in creative expression. In spite of his youth, he has been among the scholastic leaders of the class consistently since he entered Blake in the Third Form. As a result, he graduates Cum Laude. He has been a member of extracurricular activities too. Five years in Dramatics, four years in the Glee Club, three years in Publications, and two in Debating have given him a reputation of note. As managing editor of the TORCH he was a faithful stand-by in the midnight hunts for headlines. He took his part in sports, too. and was manager of the swimming team last winter. His plans for the future are indefinite: either law or journalism will probably receive his attentions. In either case, his ability is sure to make him a place at Harvard next year. 30 THE CALL O’ Pfll) 0 f 1941 JOHN BARTLETT FANSLER Entered Blake 1929 John.” Fanny” Yale My candle burns at both ends.” —Millay A L.ONG time ago. in the year when the stock market crashed, and while Blake Junior School was not yet far from city noise and smoke. John entered the first grade of that noble institution to become one of the founders of the Class of 1941. On emerging from the little brick building at 22nd and Colfax and commencing the daily trips to Hopkins, he soon proved himself to be one of the leaders of the class, and his name can be found on the scholarship shield where are listed the various geniuses who have led it scholastically throughout the years. He was elected president of the class in the Third Form, and that year managed to out-squeak the other contestants to win the Wilson Cup. By no means inactive athletically. Fanny worked his way through the various stages of coefficients, and for the last two years has plodded faithfully out to the football field, either to serve in the backfield for Mr. Watson, or to kick his feet joyously into the air on the days of Shube’s setting-up exercises: this winter he served as a capable hockey manager, often sacrificing his study periods to fetch skates or wire from Hopkins. During the last year or so. John's tales of his unusual experiences have sent the Senior room into gales of laughter, and the sight of his little maroon car zipping down the drive to the highway is a familiar one. Both at Yale and in the medical profession. John is sure to be an outstanding figure and a leader among his associates. 31 THE CALL P II n OF 19 4 1 % )t DANIEL ELY FARR II Entered Blake 1935 Ely” West Point I am a man more sinned against than sinning.” —Shakespeare WHEN this huge, bear-like figure entered our midst back in the Dark Ages of the Second Form, little did we imagine that here was one who would some day sell more Call O’Pan ads than anyone before him. For in spite of a frequently disastrous Latin - before - Chapel habit, and a tendency to open bridge bids with a queen-high, four-card suit. Ely's ability to extort ads. either through flattery or intimidation, from harassed Minneapolis merchants. has been an undeniable godsend to the business managers of this yearbook. Throughout the years at Blake, the sight of Ely's massive form on the football field has spread terror throughout the ranks of the enemy, and his willingness not only to work as a stagehand, but also to provide many of the properties for the Plays this fall, helped solve a perplexing problem for the Dramatic Association. For years the sight of Ely’s iceboat skimming over the frozen top of Lake Calhoun has been a familiar one: the sight of his blue Lincoln-Zephyr skimming over the top of the highway is even less strange. With his great sense of humor, so often the cause of far-echoing hilarity in the Senior room, and his proven qualities of salesmanship. Ely is sure to go far. whether he chooses a legal or military career. 32 THE C A L L O’ P A n OF 19 4 1 BRUCE LEROY FETZER Entered Blake 1938 Bruce.” Petty Minnesota I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. —Cervantes FETTY’S” main interests seem to lie outside of school. He is one of the three Eagle Scouts in the school and has been a leader in his own troop. In connection with Scouting. Bruce has taken up archery and marksmanship. He has gone far in these sports, being a member of the National Rifle Association and having received his Expert medal, the second highest award given by that organization. In fact, just about any outdoor sport holds a lure for Bruce, who does a good bit of skating and some flying on the side. He plays the piano (so he says) and is interested in amateur radio and electricity, having a remarkable knack of putting together all sorts of gadgets from what seems to the ordinary person to be nothing. The familiar Oldsmobile with several home-made horns is the envy of many a mechanically inclined lad. Here at Blake, smiling Fetty. although a familiar figure in any of Mr. Bitt's history classes, shines forth more on the athletic field than in the classroom. He has done his part on the football field and was a member for two years of the swimming team, receiving his letter both years, and winning the Guy Thomas T rophy this year. And on any sunny day he may be seen out by the pine trees, fighting his way upward in the Lundholm League (formerly the Strickland Sluggers). Bruce heads for Minnesota next fall, where he hopes to embark on a medical career. We feel sure that in later years he will find infinite joy in reassembling the victims of his operations. 33 T H E CALL f p a n Of 19 4 1 THIS little boy with the bangs entered the present class back in the First Form. He immediately gained the friendship and respect of the small class, and has continued to hold it even though the class has grown. He is the source of much amusement to his classmates, partly because of his good nature when harassed, and partly because of his wit. George was not particularly active in his early years at Blake. He played right end on Mr. Bitt's Death Valley Squad for two years, and one year on Mr. Strickland's B team, winning three letters. In the Fifth Form, our George joined the swimming team as fancy diver, where he has won his letter for three consecutive years. In his Junior year. George tried out for and joined the Glee Club and the Dramatic Association, of which he was elected president this year. He joined in Glee Club activities with a will, and as president of Dramatics, his organization produced, this year, the best plays which Blake has ever witnessed. In his Senior year. George was elected baseball manager, and with the same efficiency which he displayed in Dramatics, he has kept his staff of assistants on their tees. He has been an active member of Publications for the last two years, and although some of his creative sentences curl Mr. Cleveland’s hair, has served the organization well. We are sure that no one in the class has gained more friends, and know that he will make many more when he invades Amherst next year. i 34 1 P A n Of 19 4 1 THE CALL 0 ALVIN CHARLES GLUEK, JR. Entered Blake 1936 “Al” Dartmouth Opinions cannot survive if one has no chance to fight for them. —Thomas Mann ON entering Blake in the third form. Al proved himself so versatile in athletics that he was awarded the Strieker Cup at the end of his first year. Since that time his record has been one of the best and most enviable in the class. At the beginning of his Fourth form year, he was elected president of the class, although already its representative on the Council. He was elected to the Council during each of his remaining three years at Blake, finishing by becoming Head Boy of the school. Al has been a member of the Union for two years, and has been an officer of that organization during each of them. In athletics, his record is no less unusual. During his last three years at Blake, he has won nine letters in football, hockey and baseball, captaining the last team this spring. In the scholastic field. Al has been on the honor roll consistently, graduating Cum Laude this spring: he is a more extensive reader than most of us realize. Probably the best liked and most respected member of the class. Al's record at Dartmouth will undoubtedly prove as enviable as his accomplishments at Blake. 35 p a n Of 19 4 1 ARTHUR JAMES HAYES Entered Blake 1937 Art.” President Notre D.:me Sir. your wit ambles well: it goes easily. —Shakespeare SINCE his arrival at Blake four years ago. Art has been busily spending his time participating in three major sports, swindling students in his position of manager of the Blake Store, and pounding out rhythms on the piano, where he combines the abilities of Meade Lewis. Teddy Wilson, and “Fats'' Waller. In the latter field, he is also a member of that noteworthy organization, the Blake Philharmonic Orchestra, than which there is undoubtedly no other. Art has. in addition to all this, found time to be Sports Editor of the TORCH, participating effectively in that mad bi-weekly scramble to produce enough copy to make up four pages of printed matter. He belongs to the Union, and as a member of the Dramatic Association for the last two years, he has given convincing performances in the parts of both a checker player in a small country town, and a toga-dad priest of the great god Klesh. Nay. more, this versatile lad has unceasingly adorned the honor-roll during his sojourn at Blake, and put a final polish on his scholastic record by graduating Cum Laude this spring. Notre Dame will gain a versatile man indeed when Art arrives in Indiana next fall. 36 Of 19 4 1 THE CALL 0 JAMES FREEMAN HIELD Entered Blake 1937 Jim” Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harlequin without his mask is known to present a very sober countenance.”—Shakespeare. BIG JIM entered Blake in the Fourth Form and immediately earned his letters on the A team. Since that time. Jim has proven himself to be quite an athlete. This fall a great deal of the success of the football team can be accredited to his savage blocking and steady defensive play. On the diamond. Jim became a catcher and has worked behind and at the plate in a manner most satisfactory to Shube. Always popular with his classmates. Jim was one of those favored few who harmonized on the Alma Mater every other Friday night in Union. This year, he was captain of the Browns and the very persistent secretary and treasurer of the Senior class. Jim has always amazed everyone by his resounding voice in chapel and by those throaty, lengthy sounds which reverberate through the halls. Uncle Jack always found him to be one of his most enthusiastic listeners to those thrilling tales of Saturday night. Seriously though. Jim has maintained a high scholastic average throughout his four years, and this year has not infrequently graced the honor roll. We know that Jim will continue the success he enjoyed at Blake in his next four years at M. I. T.t and we wish him the best of luck. 37 THE CALL O’ P A 11 Of 19 4 1 T| ARTHUR WILLIAM HOAGLUND, JR. Entered Blake 1938 “Bud.’' Hoagie Yale Pearls are not equal in whiteness to his teeth. THIS tall, gaunt, toothsome lad entered our midst in the fall of 1938, and since has proved himself a valuable as well as affable member of the class of ’41. Many are the times that his boisterous laughter and grotesque grimaces have caused unprecedented mirth on the part of all those acquainted with him. His helpful nature has been of value to many an organization, of which Publications is not the least. Bud s career in the Blake limelight can be summed up in two words - music and drama. His first year in the school he was chosen for the lead. Ralph Rackstraw. in H.M.S. Pinafore.'' In the following two years he has given invaluable support both morally and vociferously to the Glee Club. T his year he is one of the members of the Blake Quartet and has performed most admirably in the Blake School of the Air programs presented weekly over station WLOL. The Dramatic Association owes a debt of gratitude to Bud for his hilarious renditions of middle-aged ladies, maidens and otherwise. In the plays this year. Beatrice Lillie could have caused no more uproar than did Bud in his portrayal of Mrs. Zooker. It will be a sad loss to music and drama at Blake when he leaves this June, and a real gain for Yale, the college of his choice, when he leaves the Middle West next fall. 38 T H E P A n Of 19 4 1 CALL O’ PRESTON KING Entered Blake 1 940 'Pres'' Amherst Smooth and sleek with ease and home-keeping habits. AFTER a few years away. Pres came back to Blake this year to rejoin the class of '41. Since then this smooth gentleman has proceeded to ace out many of his classmates in their romantic aims. One of the fastest men on the football team. Pres earned the admiration of all by his accomplishments on Mr. Watson's squad on the gridiron this fall. And again, in the winter. Pres showed his speed on the ice to such advantage that he played wing on the high-scoring first line. Evidence of his popularity can be shown by his election to the Union. Indeed, it is very rarely that one joins that body on his first year at Blake. Pres would probably be playing regularly on Shube's team this spring if he had been able to go on that fabulous trip to Kansas City during Spring Vacation, for in early practice he amazed all by consistently hitting Chief Wonson's curves in the field house. Next fall Pres is going to Amherst and will undoubtedly be a success there in all activities. We sincerely wish him the best of luck at college, and are confident that he will find his place there. 39 THE CALL p a n Of 19 4 1 HARRY BRONSON KUECHLE Entered Blake 1929 Harry.” “Keek” Minnesota I know what's what, and have always taken care of the main chance.”—Ceruantes HARRY has always been a rather silent partner in our class, although his carefree nature has had its influence on us all. We all know him to be ready to go at any time, whether it be to serious endeavor or to frivolous adventure. and to be a valuable comrade on the way. That he has won his place in the hearts of his classmates is evident in his membership and secretaryship in the Union. As one of the Upper School waiting crew this year he carried the trays like a veteran. He has done his share and done it well on the athletic fields. His play has not been spectacular: but his work as guard on the football team, as wing on the hockey team, and as fielder on the baseball team, has been the steady, dependable play which is so valuable in the long grind. He likes certain red hair, the game of bridge, and the laws of chance. With a gun or a fishing rod. at a slough or a lake, he can make himself happy all day. During idle moments he amuses himself playing with the piano, and well enough to amuse his listeners, too. At Minnesota next year he will extend his education, and also, we are sure, his circle of friends. 40 o ’ p a n Of 19 4 1 THE CALL WILLIAM BRIAN LAHIFF Entered Blake 1936 Bill.” “Irish. Ike” Georgetown A great nose indicates a great man.”—Rostand WHEN, back in the days of the Third Form, this lad with the Irish smile entered our midst, little did we dream that we had among us a veritable Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold. This remarkable talent was soon to be realized, however, and as we look over the records of the past year, we find that Bill has served as business manager of two organizations, and secretary of a third. He has been an important mainstay in the Glee Club. Dramatics and Publications. However. Irish’s abilities do not lie solely in the fields of securing ads or selling tickets. He has successfully served on the swimming team in the waters of the Minneapolis Club, has changed the numbers of the Chapel hymns each day. and has brushed crumbs into the laps of unsuspecting students in the dining room for the last two years. His membership in the Union is sufficient evidence of his popularity with his classmates and ability to take his constant kidding with a smile or a laugh. We can only say that after Bill has left the hallowed halls of Blake for Georgetown, he will probably be so profitable to that worthy school that it will offer to pay him to return for his sophomore year. t 41 THE CALL 0 ’ P A n Of 19 4 1 STANLEY ROBERT MAXEINER, JR. Entered Blake 1935 Max.” Bob” Yale ”1 am never merry when I hear sweet music. —Shakespeare IF, on passing the closed door of the Senior room some afternoon, you hear a voice melodiously wandering into upper reaches of Du bist wie eine Blume, or some equally incomprehensible selection, you may be sure that it is only Max indulging in one of his frequent bursts of song. He will probably be working at the same time on the TORCH or CALL O’PAN. of which he is Editor, and will break off at the end of a phrase to utter a withering malediction on an unfortunate school editor who has failed to turn in his material on time. Besides editing these two worthy publications and managing the Press Club here, Bob is a member of the Council, treasurer of the Union, and one of the sacred few who arrange and select the programs for the Blake Forum. He turned in a fine performance last fall as an aristocratic criminal in the Dramatic Association plays, and is. of course, one of the top members of the class scholastically, graduating Cum Laude this spring. In addition to all this, he is a member of the Blake Quartet, and one of the mainstays of the Glee Club, having by far the most outstanding voice in that organization. No matter what profession he may enter, Max is sure to be a success, and will undoubtedly prove one of the leaders in his class at Yale next year. 42 THE CALL O’ P A n OF 1941 FRANK GEORGE MOORE, JR. Entered Blake 1935 'Dinty” Texas A. ft M. A day in the country is worth a month in town.” THE handsome face at the top of this page belongs to one of the friendliest and most popular members of the Senior class. Up until this year. Dinty was the outstanding bachelor of the class, but early in the year he changed his ways. Since then there has frequently been a female gallery to cheer him on as he fought for his alma mater on the football field or the baseball diamond. Dinty's fight and spirit earned his letter at end. where his uncanny skill in snagging passes was a thrill to both coaches and spectators. For two years Dinty splashed to victory in the breast stroke on the swimming team. But this year he turned to his true love, basketball, and led the mythical Blake basketball team on two wild excursions to Shattuck. where they made a good showing. In baseball Dinty has not won wide acclaim as a slugger simply because he gets a walk almost every time he is at bat. A boxing fiend of renown. Dinty is often able to collect a group of the gentler members of the class to accompany him to the boxing brawls held bi-weekly in Minneapolis. Dinty was head stage hand for the Dramatic Association, an Upper School waiter, and instigator of several games of chance in the Senior Room. This year he was honored with membership to the Union. After seriously considering twenty or thirty colleges, from California to Alabama. Dinty is finally headed for Texas A. M.f where we predict certain success for him. 43 j � THE CALL 0 Pirn Of 1941 FRANK DONALDSON OLIN Entered Blake 19 6 Frank.” Swede” Colgate I love such company as is quiet, wise, and good. —Shelley WHEN Colgate opens her doors to Frank next fall, she will receive a quiet, yet cheerful man. possessed of many talents, yet not wont to talk about them. Frank has not been in the limelight at Blake, but he has excelled in several activities and done well in everything he has attempted. Way back in 19 36, his first year at Blake, Swede” was an outstanding soprano in that loosely organized body called the Carolers. singing a solo at the Christmas program. In the Fourth Form he sang tenor in the Glee Club, but the next year a strange thing happened: Frank s voice began to change and was moving toward the bass register. Last season found him a full-fledged second bass in the Glee Club. His voice being the lowest in this organization, he was chosen by Mr. Avery as a member of the Blake Quartet of certain fame. Our basso profundo was elected President of the Glee Club last fall and showed considerable leadership ability in building up that group for its concert. In the way of athletics, Frank is an ardent skier, and a good one. He won the cross-country event in the Brown and White ski meet this winter and amazed us all by successfully completing a jump of twenty (20) feet—on one ski! In the fall and spring he engages in the sport of tenny-ball.” Frank was a Lower School waiter this year and did his share of annoying the cooks. His main hobbies are his clarinet (which we’ve never heard him play), tennis, and skiing. The marked improvement in his marks during the past few months convinces us that Swede can do well at the college of his choice. 44 T H E � P A n OF 19 4 1 CALL 0 DAVID HEIDE PREUS Entered Blake 193 3 Dave” Yale To love the game beyond the prize.” —Neivbolt AND now we come to one of the most versatile of the Seniors. Dave entered Blake in the fifth grade and since then has been consistently on the honor roll. In football. Dave won his letter through sheer hard work, and this year acted as a very efficient unofficial hockey manager. On the baseball diamond. Dave frustrates the sluggers by throwing tantalizing curves in batting practice. In the capacity of business manager of publications, he has instilled terror into many a Blake lad's heart by demanding more ads for the Call O' Pan. His popularity is easily shown in that he is a member of the Council and has been a Union member for two years. As ‘the little man who wasn't there.'' Dave did a fine job of remaining unseen in the “Trysting Place” in Dramatics this year. He has stretched his vocal cords for the Glee Club during the past two years, and how he became head waiter is still a mystery, but he has proved himself worthy as a carrier of the coffee tray. Dave has been a leader not only here at school, but also among the women, who flock to him at any time. When Dave arrives at New Haven next fall. Eli will be getting one of the best. 45 THE CRLL O’ P A n OF 1941 A BOOGIE WOOGIE piano player of no mean repute, Roddy is always ready to sit down at the keys and give out his rendition of Beat Me Daddy or Scrub Me Mamma . He has proven to be one of the most athletic members of the class, having won ten letters since he entered Blake in the Fourth Form. His proficiency in tennis has been rewarded by the Faculty Tennis Trophy. This year, as captain of the hockey team, he was presented with the Dartmouth award, by vote of his teammates. as the mainstay of the team. Besides being an athlete. Rod was elected to the Union and the Council for two years. This fact is ample proof of his popularity among the student body. He won recognition by many rowing books. Perhaps his desk in study hall was a help in hiding the loot. As a Lower School waiter this year. Roddy has enthralled all who would listen at the waiters' table with tales of that wonderful little punk-in . Undoubtedly Rod will make his presence felt in Hanover next fall by his genial nature and athletic prowess. Sad indeed are the coaches at Blake to lose such a versatile athlete: but Dartmouth will certainly gain a welcome addition to her freshman corps. Rod.'’ Roddy A pleasing countenance is a silent commendation. —Syrus RODERIC SHEARER Entered Blake 1937 Dartmouth of the Senior class as having the best technique in bor- 46 p n n 19 4 1 THE CALL O’ CHESTER SIMMONS Entered Blake 1 929 Chet” Yale I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. —Henley EVER since the nucleus of our class gathered day by day in the dim halls of old Junior Blake. Chet has been one of the bright spots in our roster. His ready humor and curly blond hair have always attracted attention and been the subject of quips from other people. Chctty has therefore been a leader and reliable helper in many parts of the school curriculum. He was vice president of his class this year. He was elected president of the Union for the last half year. As circulation manager for Publications. he saw to it that most of his duties were accomplished. He worked hard and well as property manager for Dramatics this last year. It was a rare sight to see him efficiently manhandling the scenery one minute and completely absorbed in the role of a tough jewel thief the next. For the last two years he has been one of the crew of Martha's helpers in the lunch room. In athletics he has won his letters in hockey, football and baseball this year. His backfield work on the football team was consistently good. He was a speedy wing on the ice all winter and held his own in the near-riot at the arena in the S.P.A. game. This spring he patrolled the outer gardens for the baseball team, and was a very dependable snarer of flies. Chet is planning a career in chemical engineering, and is going to seek his education at Yale. Our guess is that, with his ability and personality. he will be a sure success. 47 T H E CALL P A n Of 19 4 1 GEORGE FRANK WILLIAMS, JR. Entered Blake 1937 ■'Sid Minnesota My eyes make pictures when they arc shut. SID entered our class in the Fourth Form, was away at school the next year, and rejoined us in the Sixth Form for his two remaining years. In those three years of association with us he has earned a marvelous reputation. He can loaf through a course for two weeks with the best (or worst) of them, without cracking a book. Come a test. George cracks a book for sixty minutes and cracks the test for ninety points. He can be the most unconscious person in the room for minutes at a time, and then wake up to make some remark about the subject at hand when he went to sleep. Yet when he is alert, he can supply the best entertainment you can hope to find. His exploits in the chemistry laboratory have been the peak of his adventures. There was the time he left his mop of long hair hanging in the Bunsen burner flame. A wet towel saved his head. George has been one of the reliables on the swimming team for the last two years. His long form seemed to cut the water easily, for he was the crawl stroker for the team both years and a valuable member of the relay team. During the spring he has busied himself, all alone, by conquering the cross bar in the high jump. We are told his lanky figure could really get up in the air and over the bar. Sid intends to join Blake's large aggregation at the University, where he will take courses in business. His will to win and determination in anything he likes is bound to carry him to success in his chosen field. 48 CLASSES THE CALL O' Nil Of 1941 Back Row: Rotering. McCutchcn. Thomson. J. Bowen. R.

It made the choice of David Bull for president. Ross Hanson for vice president, and Charles Johnson for secretary and treasurer. Woodward Kingman was the representative on the Council. Two new boys entered our class this year. These were Jack Brown and Fred Davis. However, since six boys left for other schools at the close of last year, our enrollment was cut to twenty-five. Scholastically our class has been excellent all year. Of the seven school months our form took first place in the school ranking five times. Heading our list of honor students were Arnold Morse and Frederick Lyman, each of whom was usually above ninety in his monthly average. In sports as well as in other activities other than studying, our form has been prominent. Charles Johnson. David Naffziger, and David Bull won varsity letters in one or two major sports. Most of the other boys were divided among coefficient teams or minor sports. The Glee Club took five Fifth Formers. David Bull. Fred Davis. Woodward Kingman. Henry Mackall. and Arnold Morse. Roger Atwood. David Bull. Charles Johnson, and Woodward Kingman were reporters for the TORCH. Henry Mackall and Kingman had parts in the plays.

Raines. Ritz. Shearer. I uttle. Woodrich. and Yarger. Although no one earned a varsity football letter, the majority of the class was on the A and B teams. The outstanding players were Klass. Asleson. Raines, Brooks. Olin. Miller. Ritz, Moulton. Yarger. and Woodrich. Crane Winton and John Gregg won their letters in swimming. Even though no member of our class earned a hockey letter, the largest part of the class was down on the rinks. Dix Asleson is playing varsity baseball, and the rest of the class is playing either coefficient baseball or tennis. Fletcher took part in the Blake plays, and Campbell has entertained the school a number of times by his drumming. We feel that Mr. Savage, our class adviser, has been of real assistance to us. and we now wish to extend to him our sincere thanks for his efforts on our behalf. 53 Stephen Woodrich.

Playing on the A football team. Bones. Lowe. MacMillan. Park, and West earned their letters, and on the B team Barnes. Bennett. Finch. Howard. Naffziger. Smith, and Wyer. Lehman. Hoover, and Hunt won their letters for the C team. During the winter. Bones. Finch. Howard. Lowe, and Wyer were among the best who played hockey. Many boys improved their skiing. This spring. Bones. Finch. Giessler. Hoover. Howard. Lehman. Naffziger. Park. West, and Wyer did well on their respective baseball teams. As a class, the Third Form has not done very well in scholarship. However. Finch. Horn, and West have turned in several excellent month averages. For the third time in succession. Horn won the Wilson Cup contest in which he gave an excellent speech. Stevens was in the Glee Club this year and also did a fine piece of work in selling more tickets for the Blake Plays than any other person at Blake. Many boys were in the Christmas Plays, and the performance was a success. The Third Form wishes to thank Mr. Bittinger for the help he has given to many of us in straightening out our difficulties.

Kingman. Preus. R. Gale. Maxeiner. A. Gluek. M. Heffelfinger. Mr. Alder. Gregg. ST U D E n t counciL AS in past years, the Student Council has carried on in its quiet, effective way its management of school activities. Although its work is almost entirely unknown to the rest of the school, its value is inestimable, and would be sorely missed if it ceased to function. The purpose of the organization is to serve as a medium between the students and the faculty. All the numerous problems, complaints, and suggestions of the students are considered, and thoroughly debated. Some of the more important actions of the Council this year may be listed here. The date and opponent for the Homecoming Game were decided upon, and a committee was appointed to make the necessary preparations. The idea was agreed upon to have chapel led one day a week by one of the faculty who ordinarily does not have the opportunity. Probably the most spectacular innovation engineered by the Council was the Football Dance. An excellent job was done in collecting money for the Community Fund and the Help Fund. T he three Senior members. A1 Gluek. Roddy Shearer, and Dave Preus. planned a very successful Christmas Dance. An equally successful Spring Dance was staged by the Junior members. Dick Gale and Mark Heffelfinger. Discussion was held about the new rules of dress at school, especially at Chapel and lunch. A suggestion was brought up. which must hang fire until next year, that the school should undertake some worthy project which would more closely link the school to the community. The preparation of the “B” Book was also undertaken, as a routine duty. The members of the Council this year were A1 Gluek. Dave Preus. and Roddy Shearer, who was replaced by Bob Maxeiner in December, from the Senior class: Dick Gale and Mark Heffelfinger from the Junior class: Woody Kingman of the Sophomores: and John Gregg from the Freshmen. The Head Boy was A1 Gluek. whose leadership in all activities of the school, athletic and scholastic, was a model for everyone. 59 THE CALL 0’ P B 11 Of 1941 Back Row: Gale. Shearer, Moore. Lahiff.

Heffelfinger, Kucchlc. the union THE Blake Union is made up of boys from the Senior and Junior classes. They remain at school for dinner and a meeting about one out of three Friday nights through the year. At each meeting two speeches, one extemporaneous and one prepared, are heard from the members, as well as a brief talk from the faculty guest. Informal discussions are then held of topics of current interest in the school. The idea of the Football Dance originated in the Union. Returning this year from Yale. Mr. Savage resumed his unofficial guidance of the Union. He does not hold an office in the organization, but acts only as an adviser in Union activities. The last two meetings of the Union were, as is customary, rather irregular. The Senior papers written in criticism of the school were read at the former of these meetings. All the faculty and the Senior class were invited. At the latter meeting, the new members for the next year attended with the old members, and the fathers of all members. The officers for the last year were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer FIRST TERM John Bonner . Richard Gale . Alvin Gluck Robert Maxeiner SECOND TERM Chester Simmons Frank Heffelfinger Harry Kuechle Stephen Badger 60 THE CALL O’ PAH Of 1941 Front Row: Bowen. Thomson. Badger. Back Row: Mr. Cleveland. Moir, Williams, Duff. Hart. Wrench. Mr. Bittinger. D E B n T I n G AS usual, the Blake debating squad choose the national high school debating subject. The subject under discussion this year was “Resolved: that the powers of the federal government should be increased . This subject, even more pertinent now than ever before, was a little too large to handle properly in the time alloted a speaker. Duff. Williams. Moir. and Hart put forth the affirmative case, while Thomson. Bowen. Wrench, and Badger represented the negative. Of these, next year's squad will lose only Bowen and Badger by graduation. As usual, the coaches were Messrs. Bittinger and Cleveland, who deserve special credit this year for the way in which they whipped an inexperienced squad into polished form. I he Blakesters participated in forty-odd no-decision debates with various schools of the Twin Cities, and. it might be added, did credit to Blake in every one of them. The improvement made during the season by newcomers and experienced debaters alike bids well for next year's squad. The season was climaxed by the forum debate which was held Tuesday. March 1 1. The speakers in this debate. Duff and Williams, affirmative, Bowen and Thomson, negative, were chosen by competitive tryouts. A vote of the student body named the negative team the victor by a large majority. The Faculty, using the forum debate as a basis for judgment, awarded the Strieker Cup for debating to Dwight Williams. 61 THE CALL 0’ PHD Of 1941 Back Row: Atwood. Spencer. W. Kingman. D. Williams.

In addition, through the TORCH the school is kept informed of events to come and accurate articles are written of the past events. It is the ultimate clearing-house for all the countless items of interest which make up our life at Blake. Perhaps it would be well at this time to review the improvements instituted in this year’s TORCH and CALL O’ PAN which we believe have made these chronicles of even more than usual interest and value. In the field of sports, the Four Casters regaled the students with their confident predictions which, incidentally. carried more truth than many a famous sports writer could boast. Photography played an increasingly active part in the TORCH, picturing candid shots of our teams more eloquently than words. And the actual size and typography of the paper was changed, a change which was partially effected in the CALL O' PAN. Certain special articles, as the interviews with Wendell Willkic. Laurel and Hardy, and Sally Rand, were also incorporated in these issues. All these changes and improvements were in keeping with the general policy of the Publications Board this year as always. That is. to give you. the readers, a more vivid and graphic picture of your school, both past and future, as well as to open new fields of endeavor to those who write the history of the school. By editorials also we have tried to make the TORCH an accurate sounding board of thought and ideas at Blake. We trust we have succeeded. And the graduating members of this staff as well as those who will assume responsibility next year here express their appreciation to you who have worked in many ways, from selling ads to writing articles, for the Publications Board. It is largely to you that our success is due. s e n i o r DinnERS IT has been a custom at Blake during the past years to hold dinners for the members of the Senior Class. This year only one dinner was held, but it proved to be a very successful one. Every member of the class, together with Mr. Alder and Mr. Cleveland, the class adviser, was present at the meeting. The speaker was Dr. Stanley R. Maxeiner. who. after a most enjoyable dinner served in the dining hall, addressed the group on preparation for a medical career. He explained nearly every phase of medical study, telling what preparation courses were needed and what one could study in the way of graduate work. Jack Bonner, Senior President, presided over the meeting. 63 THE (ALL 0’ P A n Of 1941 Back Row: Davis. N. Stevens. Nunan. Aslcson. Raines. Kingman. Mackall. Thomson. Klass. Williams.

Mr. Avery dropped most of the preliminary exercising so that the organization might get up a repertoire as soon as possible. The result was several early Chapel performances. At this early period a quartet was organized: first tenor. Arthur Hoaglund: second tenor. Robert Maxeiner: first bass. Jack Bonner: and second bass. Frank Olin. This group has helped the Glee Club immensely throughout the whole year. Another asset to the Club appeared in the form of a drummer. Dick Campbell of the Fourth Form. Bob Specht. also, has helped the Glee Club out in several of its performances with his talented piano playing. And last, but by no means least. Mr. Lean gave up much of his time to accompany the Club at rehearsals and performances. With all this added support the Glee Club responded to give several performances both at Blake and away. The most important event of the season, the Concert given at the Woman's Club, was marked by singular success—singular because rehearsals had been steadily falling off in both attendance and interest from their excellent beginning. However, the concert on March 8th surprised both audience and singers. Perhaps this success may be explained by the outstanding voice and personality of the guest singer. Miss Charlotte Rheinhardt. For her solos Miss Rheinhardt gave Hayden's My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair ”, Mozart's Alleluia , and Verdi’s Caro Nome. As the closing number she sang the “Italian Street Song , by Victor Herbert, with the Glee Club. Another outstanding factor in the concert's success was the baritone voice of Robert Maxeiner. These solos were: Handel's Alma Mia from Floridante . Schumann’s Du bist wie eine Blume , and Leoni's Tally Ho . For its numbers the Glee Club sang: The 64 P A n Of 19 4 1 THE CALL O’ Anvil Chorus from II Trovatore . Stars of the Summer Night , The Sleigh , March of the Musketeers . Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee from Bach's Cantata Sleepers Awake . Dark Water , and the Russian dance song Dance My Comrades . The Blake Quartet also sang three selections: The Battle of Jericho”. The Drum , and Mr. Avery’s special Laughing Burros written for the Blake Quartet. Bob Specht. as he has done so often, again supplemented the program with his piano solos. May Night by Palmgren, and Sacro Monte by Turina. Special thanks for the Concert’s success should again be given to Mr. Lean for his constant help as accompanist and to Mr. Avery for bringing a tottering organization up to concert pitch. As to the other activities of the year, the Glee Club has participated in all the usual occasions. Founders' Day. the Christmas program. Vespers, and Commencement. In addition it has sung several times over station WLOL. It has given frequent programs in the morning Chapel service. And for the first time the Club made trips to other schools to sing. Key Awards are to be made this year to Arthur Hoaglund. Frank Olin. Jack Bonner, and William Lahiff. DflllCES SINCE the Union felt that there were not enough dances held during the school year, it decided to have a Football Dance on Friday. November 8. At the Union's suggestion, the council appointed a committee of seniors and juniors to have complete charge: and this committee selected Bob Hall's Orchestra and arranged for a Coca-Cola concession in the Trophy Room. The dance proved to be very successful, and the entire school caught the football spirit and had a very enjoyable evening. Undoubtedly Blake will make this dance a tradition in the years to come. On the 21st of December, the Christmas Dance was held. The Senior members of the Council secured the delightful music of Glad Olinger's Band. Punch, as usual, was served in the Trophy Room to a large crowd of students. The dance was formal and was held in the library from 9:00 to 12:00. It proved to be a good beginning for the winter vacation. The annual Spring Dance was held in the school library from 9:00 to 1 2:00 on the evening of Friday. April 18. Junior members of the Council obtained the music of Freddie Webster’s orchestra, and a Coca-Cola concession was again placed in the Trophy Room. As usual, the dance was most successful. Tonight. June 7. 1941. the annual Junior-Senior Prom will be held at the Woodhill Country Club. The committee of Ray Habermann. Doug Dayton, and Walter Jordan secured the services of Glad Olinger's Orchestra, and they are confident that the dance will be one of the most successful proms to be given. We wish to thank, here, those who rendered us such a kindness by chaperoning the various dances throughout the year. 65 THE CALL 0’ PAD Of 194] Back Row: W. Kingman. Nunan. A. Morse. W. Dobson. Middle Row: Preus. M. Heffelfinger. Moir. Hayes. Fletcher. Maxeincr. Zellc. Front Row: H. DeLaittrc, Ervin. Lahiff (business manager). Gallenkamp (president). Simmons (property manager). F. Heffelfinger. A. Hoaglund, Badger. D R fl m ATI C S THE best amateur production I've seen. The best plays Blake has ever put on. To these acclamations the curtain descended on another Blake Dramatic Association presentation. For 27 years Dramatics has furnished many boys with the opportunity to display their various talents as electricians, stage managers, technicians, stage hands, and actors. 'T his year undoubtedly has been the most successful year according to those who witnessed the productions. George Gallenkamp was elected president this year, and he certainly deserves much of the credit for the success, for it was through his efforts that the final production was flawless and went off so smoothly. Bill Lahiff. as business manager. and Chester Simmons, as property manager, also deserve credit for handling their jobs so well. The first play, entitled The Trysting Place by Booth Tarkington. was a farce. It dealt with Lancelot's affection for Mrs. Curtis, Jessie's love for Rupert, and Mrs. Briggs’ love for old Mr. Ingoldsby. Of course, no one of them wanted the others to know anything about his own amours, so the complications which ensued were screamingly funny. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Curtis (a widow)........................... .George Gallenkamp Lancelot Briggs............................... • ■ Frank Heffelfinger Mrs. Briggs............................................ Louis Zelle Jessie ............................................... Arnold Morse Rupert Smith ........................................ Stephen Badger Mr. Ingoldsby ........ Mark Heffelfinger The Mysterious Voice............................................David Preus 66 THE CALL O’ PAf) Of 1941 A Night At An Inn” by Lord Dunsany, was a thriller about four jewel thieves from England who have stolen the eye from the sacred idol of Klesh in India. The thieves have returned to England and think they arc safe, but three priests from the idol s sacred temple follow the thieves to get back the idol’s eye. By a clever ruse, the priests are murdered, but to no avail, for the beastly idol himself comes to get his eye and murder the thieves cruelly. The cast was: A. E. Scott-Foriesque (The Toff) William Jones (Bill)................. Albert Thomas........................ Jacob Smith (Sniggers)............... F'irst Priest of Klesh. . ......... Second Priest of Klesh.... .......... Third Priest of Klesh................ Klesh................................ Robert Maxeincr Howard DcLaittre Chester Simmons John Nunan . . . . Arthur Hayes Kingston Fletcher Henry Mackall Frank Hcffelfingcr The third play presented was George Kelly’s satirical comedy. The Flattering Word.” The combination of characters was most unique and the resulting effect of their work was hilarious. The cast: The Rev. Doctor Loring Rigley (a bigoted churchman) . Alfred Moir Mary Rigley (his wife)........................ Woodward Kingman Mrs. Zookcr (a ridiculous churchworkcr)......... Arthur Hoaglund Lena Zookcr (her daughter)..................... William Dobson Eugene Tcsh (an actor)...........................Kingsley Ervin The play deals with the conversion of the Reverend Rigley. who violently disapproves of the theater. He is brought to terms by means of the flattering word.” a clever scheme the famous actor. Eugene Tesh. employs. He flatters the minister by telling him that he was meant to be on the stage. The incongruous Mrs. Zooker, played most effectively by Arthur Hoaglund. with her daughter. Lena. William Dobson, added tremendously to the entire production. Many believe that their performances were the most outstanding of the evening. PRESS CLUB THE Press Club is at the same time perhaps the least known and yet the most tangible connection between Blake’s activities and those of the community. You have all seen records of your activities or those of your friends in any of Minneapolis’ three papers. But few of you realize that Blake’s name has appeared more than a hundred times during the school year in any and all its activities. For the Press Club is the publicity department of Blake. Working in close and vital co-operation with the managers, its officers see that every important event finds publication in the papers. This work both acts as an unseen salesman to parents of prospective Blake boys and keeps the school and its fine reputation constantly before the public's eyes. As manager and assistant manager, respectively. Bob Maxeincr and John Thomson have assured every sport its proper publicity and accurately recorded all publicity received for future reference. T he widespread reputation which Blake has gained is in no small way owing to this organization and its valuable work. 67 THE CALL 0’ PHI Of 1941 Back Row: Wheeler. Spencer. Rotering. Jordan. Olin. Middle Row: Thomson. W. Hield. Moore. Shearer. Lahiff. Kuechle. front Row: Simmons. Bowen (headwaiter). Martha. Preus (head waiter). M. Heffelfinger. DeLaittre. Ill n I T € R S EACH year boys from the Junior and Senior classes are chosen to wait on table during the lunch hours. From a long list of applicants, the boys pictured above held positions as waiters and received their lunches free. During the summer. Miss Berglund selects two head waiters from the Junior waiters of the previous year. This year Dave Preus and Bob Bowen were head waiters for the Upper and Lower schools, respectively; they receive 25 cents per day in addition to their lunches. MISS BERGLUNDS CHOICES FOR THE BEST WAITERS Upper School .......... Bill Lahiff Lower School..................Howard DeLaittre 68 THE CALL 0’ PAD OF 1941 cum l n u d € THE Cum Laude Society, formed in 1 906 to reward boys and girls of exceptional scholastic standing, is to preparatory schools what Phi Beta Kappa is to colleges. It is nation-wide in scope, having chapters in nearly all of the well-known preparatory schools throughout the country. Blake became a member of the Society with the formation of its chapter on February 12. 1927. The first boys to be initiated into the Society were Robert J. Harvey and John C. Savage of the Class of '27. Elected this spring to the Cum Laude Society because of their merit and high scholastic standing throughout their four years of high school were five members of the Class of 1941. Each boy has made an enviable record not only in scholarship but also in athletics or other extra-curricular activities. The boys chosen this year were Robert Enochs Bowen, with a four-year average of 92.03: Stanley Robert Maxeiner. Jr.. 90.21: Kingsley Ervin. Jr.. 84.93: Alvin Charles Gluek, Jr.. 83.05: and Arthur James Hayes. 83.02. The records of these boys and the other members of this organization should serve as goals toward which Blake boys of the present and future may strive. 69 THE CALL O' PAI) Of 1941 public sPEimnc THIS year Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bittinger. and Mrs. Nunan again conducted the school’s public speaking classes. Mrs. Nunan coached the Lower School: Mr. Bittinger. the part of the Fourth Form in his World Problems class, and Mr. Bryan the top three forms. To obtain more practice in speaking, each Senior had to make two speeches before the school during the chapel exercises. Likewise each Junior had to make one. The unusually fine quality of these speeches is a good indication of the fine work being done by the three teachers. At the end of the year a prize is awarded to the boy who. according to the faculty, has given the best speech. Last year Philip Duff won the Senior contest and Kingsley Ervin took top honors in the Junior Division. One of Blake's numerous public speaking contests was the Williams T heme Contest. Six Seniors, whose themes had been selected, read their papers before the school. The six contestants were Bob Bowen. Howard DeLaittre. Kingsley Ervin. Alvin Gluek. Arthur Hayes, and Bob Maxeiner. Top honors were awarded to Kingsley Ervin for his paper showing the decadence of a son’s love for his father. Bob Maxeiner took second place with his “The Stranger's Return ”. Honorable mention was given to Bob Bowen for his fine treatise on National Defense. Each year the name of the winner of the Thorpe cup extemporaneous speaking contest is engraved on the Cup in the Trophy Room. T he eight boys who entered this year's contest which was open only to Seniors were Alvin Gluek. Kingsley Ervin. George Gallenkamp. Ely Farr. John Fansler. Steve Badger. Bob Bowen, and Dave Preus. Each boy was given forty minutes to prepare a travelogue describing the journey between two assigned towns in Minnesota. Bob Bowen, who described the trip from Hibbing to Blue Earth, was awarded first place. John Fansler took second place by his account of the trip from Taylor's Falls to the Twin Cities. Woodward Kingman, the winner of the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, was awarded the Union Medal for his admirable presentation of Browning’s dramatic monologue. “My Last Duchess . Fred Davis won honorable mention for his “Visit to Berchtesgaden . The other entries in this unusually fine contest were David Bull. Henry Mackall and Edward Schlampp. The Wilson Cup Contest, for which only boys in the Lower School are eligible, was another high point of this year’s public speaking. There were seven contestants: Dick Johnson. Tom Kingman. John Cowles. Charles Horn. George Strieker. Fred Wells. Dick Raines, and Harold Tearse. Charles Horn was winner of this contest, with T homas Kingman given second place. Again this year a number of Blake Boys entered the extemporaneous speaking contest held at West High School. The nine boys who took part in the contest were Bob Bowen. John T homson. Nick Duff. Dwight Williams. Edwin Wrench. Henry Hart. Kingston Fletcher. Crane Winton, and Glenn Brooks. Of this group two boys. Edwin Wrench and Bob Bowen, reached the semi-finals. Dwight Williams won third place in the city but was eliminated in the regional contest. In this contest each entry was assigned a topic and given one hour to prepare a six to eight minute speech. The outstanding record of the Blake boys shows the value of the work put on public speaking by Mrs. Nunan. Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bittinger. and Mr. Cleveland. 70 P A n Of 19 4 1 THE CALL O’ OUTSIDE music AGAIN this year, in continuation of last year's concerts. Mr. Bryan has presented weekly phonograph programs. These programs have given the students of Blake, and incidentally, the students of Northrop, an opportunity of enjoying the best music in a congenial, informal atmosphere. Mr. Bryan's unusually fine and extensive collection of recordings of the works of the most skillful composers from Beethoven and Brahms to Gilbert and Sullivan forms a background for these programs, and from time to time the students themselves bring selections from their own collections to create further interest. Another factor, contributing greatly to the popularity of these Sunday evenings, has been the phonograph itself. This phonograph, the work of Mr. Hodgkinson, of the Blake Science Department, has no peer in the commercial field. Its great depth of tone, its accurate reproduction of sound, and its unlimited volume make it one of the best machines of its type. Among the regular attendants of these concerts have been Zelle, Maxeiner. Thomson. Bowen. Moir. Davis. Ervin. Spencer, and Jordan. Another popular outside music activity was the Sunday evening sings at the Wheeler's during the winter term. These sessions were open to the Seniors and Juniors of Northrop and Blake schools, and were under the direction of Mr. Avery, of Blake, and Miss Root, of Northrop. After an hour and a half of singing. supper was served, and after that there was dancing. Since there was no operetta this year, these evenings gave an opportunity for mixed singing which would otheiwisc have been neglected. Among those attending from Blake regularly were Maxeiner. Ervin. Gallenkamp, Hart, Moir. Wheeler. 'Thomson. Spencer, and Williams D. THE STflmP CLUB THIS year, with the founding of the Stamp Club, the hopes of Blake philatelists have been fulfilled. This fall and winter activity has an enthusiastic following among the school's stamp collectois. Under the guidance of Mr. Alder, himself an ardent philatelist, this club held an election in which Stephen Williams was chosen President: James Strieker. Vice President, and Philip Williams. Secretary. The members of the Stamp Club participated zealously in the new organization, as indicated by the fact that the boys convened more than half a dozen times. The meetings were enlivened by brief talks, given by different amateur philatelists. Having prepared their speeches before the stamp sessions, the boys discussed such topics as watermarks, grills, perforations, types of paper, and other subjects interesting to the philatelic intellect. Swapping stamps also played an important role in these meetings. Since stamp collecting is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, the Stamp Club is looking forward to a greater membership next fall. 71 THE CALL 0’ PH Of 1941 ART AT BLAKE THIS year, under the direction of Mr. Bryan. Blake's art department has flourished. From time to time there have been exhibitions of the work of Minnesota artists at the Studio, and two lours to the Art Institute have been organized. However, the drawing classes have made little progress. The reason for this fact has been mainly the demands made by other more important extracurricular activities. A few classes managed to meet during the spring and fall terms, and some little progress was made then. The outstanding exhibitions held in the Studio have been an exhibition of the works of Jean Duncan, art instructor at Northrop School: an exhibition of prints: a collection of art representative of Minnesota, done entirely by Minnesota W.P.A. artists, and loaned by the Walker Art Center: and showings from time to time of Mr. Bryan’s own works, some done last summer in the West and the others during years that he has been here at Blake. By far the high points in art at Blake this year were the two tours taken through the Minneapolis Art Institute. The first, during the fall term, was to study a special collection of the works of the most distinguished American artists, including Georgia O'Keefe. John Stuart Curry. Grant Wood, and John Singer Sargent. This trip was well attended and proved to be worth while. During the winter term, the much-discussed Picasso collection was the focal point of the tour. A group of about fifteen boys was taken on a gallery tour led by Mr. Kopietz of the Minneapolis Art School, who discussed these paintings in detail. While most of the boys remained unenlightened, the exhibition was found to be interesting and furnished material for much thought. Mr. Bryan is to be given much thanks for making these tours possible. SHORT STORV CLUB MEETING every other Sunday evening throughout the Winter 'Perm at the home of one of its members, the Short Story Club has been one of the most popular organizations in the school for over twenty years Membership is open to Juniors and Seniors, and thirty-five to forty boys are present at every meeting. Mr. Glenn, the present leader of the club, picks three carefully selected stories to read each evening the organization meets. Supper is served when the reading has been finished, and a general discussion takes place. Great thanks are due not only to Douglas Dayton. Frank Heffelfinger, Walter Jordan. Louis Zellc, and George Gallenkamp. at whose houses the club met this winter, but especially to Mr. Glenn, who spends more time in reading and selecting stories than most of us realize. „ . . „ . , , . _ , BLARE STORE THE Blake Athletic Store was managed this year by Arthur Hayes, assistant last year, and Bud Wingate. Athletic goods and equipment were sold at recess, after lunch, and during the play period. Mr. Horne acted as adviser, and ordered the supplies. The store, this year, underwent a modernizing process, more or less, with the addition of several new shelves and a glass display bin. A larger stock than in former years was carried this year, and skis were added to the regular sporting equipment. Both Hayes and Wingate deserve commendation for their efficient management of the Blake Store this year. 72 THE CALL 0 ’ P A D 0 f 1941 DORmiTORIES BLAKE’S two dormitories, Blake House and West House, were quite well filled this year. As director of the boarding department. Mr. Bryan assumed the responsibilities of leadership at West House. Boarders here included George and Henry Barbour. Malcolm Cameron. Alfred and Richard Gale, Peavey Heffel-finger. Samuel Hoover, and Hugh Robertson, as well as Arthur and Kenneth Lampert. who withdrew in December. Blake House was presided over in turn by Mr. Wonson, Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Averill. Dwight Williams, and Frank and John Olin were temporary boarders here during absences of their parents. The capacity of Blake House is of course somewhat limited by the presence of Junior Blake. At present, approximately fifteen boys can be accomodated in the two houses. Frequently, however, requests have come to the school to make it possible for boys whose hemes are in other communities to enjoy the privileges and advantages of Blake. Therefore the Trustees have decided to make arrangements to allow forty boys of high school age to become members of the boarding department. the fo R u m THE Blake Forum, under the guidance of the Forum Committee, continued its valuable part in the school’s curriculum this year. Mr. Biltinger. Mr. Glenn. Bob Maxeiner. and John Thomson, the members of the committee, provided a series of ten worth-while programs presenting speakers from outside the school and from the faculty. The programs dealt generally with foreign policy and current events. The first program was a discussion of the position of the United States in the present conflict. Speakers were Mr. Biltinger and Mr. Lundholm. Dr. Harold C. Deutsch addressed the second meeting on the policy of the United States in the Far East. In the third forum. Mr. Savage and Mr. Strickland advocated Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Alder and Mr. Lean favored Mr. Willkie as the next President of the United States. On Armistice Day. Mr. De Forest Spencer told the course of world events from Versailles to Munich. Mr. Gideon Seymour was the next guest of the Forum. His topic was cooperation with South America. A program on college was the next meeting. The three speakers were Mr. Edwin N. Dodge. Blake ’26. Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Joseph E. Clifford. Blake ’34. At the sixth Forum of the year Mr. Basil L. Walters of the Minneapolis Star-Journal told how a metropolitan newspaper is made. A crew of six experts from the faculty attempted to answer questions handed in by the students in a very entertaining program called “Information Please. The Blake Debate team discussed its subject. Resolved that the powers of the Federal government should be increased. On the affirmative were Nicholas Duff and Dwight Williams. For the negative were Robert Bowen and John Thomson. The series of Forum programs was brought to a close by an inspiring program called the American Way of Life. Speakers were from the faculty: Messrs. Foss. Glenn. Horne, and Bryan. The scries of programs brought to the students and friends of Blake a fine opportunity for wide knowledge on many subjects. It was a feature of the year which was very entertaining, and certainly very valuable. 73 THE CALL 0’ PAI) Of 1941 LOWER SCHOOL DRRmRTICS THE Christmas program which was held this year marked what we consider a new high in Lower School Dramatics. The able coaching of Mrs. Nunan and Mr. Bryan, as well as the cooperation of the school and many outsiders, made possible the presentation of this fine program. The preludes were played by a trio of Mrs. DeForest Spencer, violin, Fayette Spencer, cello, and Kingsley Ervin. Jr., piano. After the singing of two carols and the processional. Christmas greetings were extended by Macnider Wetherby. Jr. Three more carols were sung and Mrs. Nunan’s group speakers, something new in the way of Public Speaking, presented “A Bit of Nonsense. The Glee Club and Lower School players joined in three carols, Good King Wenccslas. Echo Carol. and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. Following these carols was On the Range,” which featured several cowboys. Then another group gave an excellent presentation of The Night Before Christmas. Robert Max-einer. Fred Davis, and John Hartwell gave When Day Is Done. Then J. Dren-nan Bros sang Angels We Have Heard. and Richard C. Raines. Jr., sang He Shall Feed His Flock. Three boys of the Second Form gave Saint Luke's Story. After the singing of Silent Night by Edward Buckland. John Cowles. Jr., and George N. Dayton III, the program was closed with the recessional hymn. Credit should be given to Mrs. Nunan and Mr. Bryan, and also to Mr. Avery and Miss Nygaard for the music, and Mr. Lean for his accompaniment. Lighting was handled by Mr. Allen Libers of the University of Minnesota. Ross Hanson, and John Thomson. BROADCASTS UNDER the title. Blake School is on the air. seven broadcasts were given by members of the faculty and student body over station WLOL in Minneapolis. The series of programs was a new event in Blake’s curriculum and a valuable experience for those who took part in the broadcasts. They were given on Thursday afternoons at a quarter to five. The first broadcast contained a talk by Mr. Alder on the various phases of school life, and several selections by the quartet. On the second program the Glee Club sang a few songs, and group speaking was demonstrated. Mr. Bryan was in charge. Other programs were made up of other parts of the curriculum at Blake. The debating team discussed its topic. Talks on athletics were given by Mr. Horne. Jack Bonner. Dick Johnson, and A1 Gluek. Mr. Alder and seme Junior School boys gave a picture of that part of the school. Seven boys from the boarding department, together with Mr. Bryan. Mr. Avcrill. Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Wonson. presented a program about the dormitory groups. Finally a program of songs by the Glee Club and brief talks by Mr. Alder and Mr. Avery ended the series. 74 IDRJOR SPORTS THE CALL O’ PRI) Of 1941 ATHLETIC ASSOCI ATIOI1 THE outstanding accomplishment of the Athletic Association this year was the furnishing of football uniforms for the team. With the aid of money from the Dramatic Association, twenty-two complete uniforms were purchased. At the first meeting in the fall a budget was drawn up for the sports throughout the year. Aside from the fact that swimming and hockey had to ask for additional money, the budget was successful. One amendment to the A. A. Constitution was accepted by the school. Article Ten was changed to read that the Football Captain would be elected at the football banquet at the close of the current season. The arrangement for the election of other captains was left unchanged. President Vice President Secretary T reasurer OFFICERS John F. Bonner. Jr. Richard P. Gale, Jr. Roderic Shearer Mr. Cleveland 77 THE (ALL O' run OF 1941 FOOTBALL BLAKE’S football team enjoyed, this year, its most successful season in several years. While winning six games and losing only one, the Bears piled up 158 points to their opponents' 51. Up to the last game. Blake proved definitely superior to all the teams played, and. in four games, were unscored on. Unfortunately, the big team from S.P.A. proved too much for the Bears, and ran away with the game in the fourth quarter. Most of all. we are proud of this year's team for the courage and fight it has always displayed, and we will remember especially the fine leadership of its captain. Jack Bonner, whose teammates voted him the Williams' Alumni Cup for being the team's best player. Blake 1 3 — Patrick Henry 6 IN the opening game of the season. Blake outplayed a tough Patrick Henry team. The teamwork of the Bears was excellent, notwithstanding the fact that they had never played together in a game. In the third quarter. AI Gluek scored on an end run. and Mark Heffelfinger converted to put Blake in the lead. Roddy Shearer plunged over in the fourth quarter, and the Bears withstood a Patrick Henry rally which netted them six points, to win their first game of the year. Blake 32 — Wayzata 0 BLAKE’S first night game was played under the lights at Wayzata. Expecting a hard game, the Bears exerted all their power and the Wayzata team fell to pieces. Displaying dazzling running and blocking and accurate passing, the Hilltoppcrs ran rings around Wayzata and touchdowns were made by Al Gluek Frank Heffelfinger. Roddy Shearer, and Mark Heffelfinger scored twice. Meanwhile. Wayzata was held to two first downs. 78 THE CALL 0 ’ P A n Of 1941 Blake 33 — Pillsbury 19 THE Homecoming Game with Pillsbury resulted in the third victory of the year for Blake. Matched against a reputably high-scoring aggregation, the Bears compiled their highest total of points for any game in the year. Scoring twice in the first quarter, and once in the second quarter, the team found itself only one touchdown ahead at the end of the first half. Pillsbury scored again in the third quarter, but Blake scored once on an intercepted pass, and once on a pass from A1 Gluck to Frank Heffelfinger to put the game on ice. The unusually large crowd enjoyed a thrilling afternoon, and Blake was avenged for last year’s defeat. Blake 18 — Shattuck 0 THE deadlock of the past two games between Shattuck and Blake was broken this year as Blake administered a walloping to Shattuck. Chet Simmons scored first for Blake on an end run. and reeled off several sizable gains during the first quarter. Simmons scored again on a line plunge in the second quarter, to put Blake ahead. 1 2-0. Mark Heffelfinger plunged over from the two-yard line for the third touchdown. Blake failed to convert on each score. The Bears held off a Shattuck rally in the last quarter, to win their fourth game. Blake 6 — Macalester 0 THIS game against the Macalester Freshmen was about the hardest game of the year. Greatly outweighed, the Bears fought furiously to prevent a score, and received a considerable battering the first half. However, a long pass to Chet Simmons finally produced a score in the third quarter, and Blake edged through with another win. Blake 20 — Breck 0 ENTERING this game very overconfident, the Bears played poorly the first half, and could not score. Breck threatened more often than did Blake. But. in the second half, the team hit its stride. Willie Hield blocked a punt in the end zone and recovered for Blake’s first score. Mark Heffelfinger plunged over for the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter. A1 Gluek passed to Frank Heffelfinger for the final touchdown. Blake 6 — S.P.A. 26 OUTWEIGHED and outplayed, the Blake team displayed more courage and determination in this game than we have seen for many years. The final score comes far from representing the comparative strength of the two teams. All through the first half, the heavy S.P.A. backs pounded at the Blake line, but were repeatedly hurled back by vicious tackles. In the last minute of the half, the Academy finally scored on a pass and a plunge, to lead 7-0. In the second half the Blake gridders roared back, and beat their way to a touchdown by Mark Heffelfinger. The failure to convert left Blake behind. 7-6. Blake started to pass to win the needed points. But passes were intercepted and run back for touchdowns. S.P.A. completed the game by scoring again, on a pass. In this game, eleven Seniors ended their football at Blake with the knowledge that, though they were beaten, they had scored on S.P.A. and put a black mark on their otherwise clean slate. 79 THE CALL 0’ P A n Of 1941 Bonner—Jack is one of those individuals who make the captain of a team something more than just the honor of the position. His leadership, tact and ability were outstanding in Blake history. T he success of the team was due largely to his inspiration. not only to the team but to the coaches as well. Shearer—Roddy was slow in getting into condition, probably because he did not get the pre-season camp training, but before the end of the season he fulfilled last year's forecast that he would be an excellent back field man. Hield. J.—Jim came into his own this year, and as a blocking back was a joy to the coaches as well as the spectators. Many long gains by his teammates were due to his effective blocking. Badger—Backed by the determination to earn a place on the team this year. Badger gave everything he had and earned a regular berth at tackle. It was not easy for him and he deserves a world of credit. THE CALL O’ P A n Of 1941 Preus—Dave was one of those Seniors who make the team after several years of hard, consistent work on the scrub teams. He deserves high praise for his spirit in spite of the handicap of weight and speed. Moore—“Dinty” was the lightest man on the team this year. He not only made an excellent end, but his determination, grit and cheerful disposition were a fine example to the squad as a whole. 25 Simmons—Chet was one of the most valuable men on the squad this year. Besides being a good ground-gainer and defense man. he could play any position in the backfield. Gluek—Al's consistent handling of the team on the field, coupled with his natural ability at carrying the ball, made him the “work horse” of the team this year. He has had three successful years on the varsity and his place will be hard to fill next year. 81 THE CALL O' PHD 0 f 1941 Kuechle—After being used, the first part of the season, in the backfield. Harry finished the season at guard, where he played a consistent and dependable game. ■ Heffelfinger, F.—Frank's play at end this year was outstanding both offensively and defensively. He was an excellent pass-catcher and showed mature judgment in sizing up the other team's plays. Richards—Bill was slow in developing this year but gave promise towards the end of the season of being a regular in the line next year. Gale—Dick continued to improve at center this year: and should be one of the best centers in the history of the school, if this improvement continues next year, his Senior year. 82 T H E CALL 0 ’ P A n Of 19 4 1 Hield. W_______As predicted last year. Willie did go a long way this year. He has still greater possibilities when he finds himself, and makes every move count. IIeffel finger, P.—We were all glad to see Peavey return to Blake this year, because he plays football for the real joy of it. He is always in every play and the tougher the going the better he likes it. Wingate—Bud was hampered off and on most of the season with injuries: here's hoping that next year he will have better luck and be able to display the natural ability that he has. Heffelfinger. M.—Mark was the powerhouse’’ of the backfield this year. With added experience in kicking and passing next year he should be one of the best all-around football players in Blake for a long time. 83 THE CALL O’ PAI) Of 1941 Greer—Ted’s effort and spirit were excellent throughout the season, and with more confidence and speed next year he should be a valuable man to the team. Ossanna—Oge’s spirit and effort were of the first order, but a lack of confidence in himself hindered him in games. He has the possibilities of being a valuable man to the squad next year. Johnson—Charlie just began to click this year when he was injured. He did gain enough experience, however, to cause him to start the season next year with confidence. With his natural ability, he should be a regular in the backficld. Jordan—The management for this year involved more work than most years because of considerably more equipment to care for. Jordan was faithful and did a good job in caring for the needs of the team. 84 THE CALL O’ P A n Of 19 4 1 sEcono TEflm sports FOOTBALL IN past years, the second team, or Junior Varsity , as it is called, has been a highly disorganized group of varsity castoffs who came to practice perhaps once a week, and as a result, played few if any games during the season. This year, under the excellent tutelage of Mr. Watson. Blake produced second football and hockey teams of which it could truly be proud. Faced during football season with the problem of constantly having to train new men in strange positions, as the old ones would take a week's vacation. Mr. Watson's patience at times seemed superhuman. Nevertheless, the squad developed from a light, inexperienced group, many of whose members had never before played football, to a capable, aggressive team which, although defeated 1 2 to 0. for three quarters thoroughly outplayed a far heavier S.P.A. team which had previously trounced Blake 27 to 7. Other games found the Bears scoring victories over St. Louis Park Junior High and Hopkins Junior High to end the season with a record of three games won and two lost. HOCKEY The hockey season was even more successful, with the sextet recording seven victories against two defeats. Mr. Watson again coached the junior varsity and was largely responsible for its success. Victories were scored over Southwest. Shat-tuck. S.P.A.. and St. Louis Park. The only defeats were received from Robbins dale and S.P.A. by very close scores. BASEBALL For some unknown reason, many less boys than usual went out for baseball this spring, and so there was no second team. The proud Mexicans of former years were sadly missed as the student body waited in vain for a renewal of the series with St. Paul’s second team which last year produced that memorable 28 to 26 pitcher’s duel. However, in spite of the absence of a second baseball team, the Junior Varsity has on the whole had a very successful year, and without doubt next year’s varsity teams will be greatly strengthened as a result of Mr. Watson's excellent work. 85 THE CALL O’ P I) I) OF 1941 Back Row: Mr. Savage. Greer. J. Hicld. Simmons. A. Gluek. Harrison. Pansier (manager). Front Row: R. Gale. P. King. R. Shearer (captain). H. Kuechle. Habermann. HOCKEY ALT HOUGH the record of wins and losses is not impressive, this year’s hockey season has been a notable one. In the first place, the Blake team played the unprecedented number of sixteen games, in addition to two practice games with the Red Squirrels. It is also true that Blake met more really strong hockey teams than in any previous year. Of these sixteen games, four were won. eight were lost, and four were tied. With only four lettermen from last year's squad, and a new goalie, the team did better than might have been expected. Coach John Savage, who returned to coach the hockey team this year, reports that he was definitely satisfied with the season, and he promises that next year the Red Squirrel Trophy will be regained from S.P.A., in whose possession it now rests. The hockey season opened against Johnson High School, of St. Paul. The two teams were evenly matched, and fought to a 2-2 tie. A week later, the teams met again. Although Ted Greer performed the Herculean accomplishment of scoring three goals unassisted. Johnson unfortunately managed to score five times and win. 5-3. Against Washburn. Greer. Gale. Shearer, and Kuechle all scored, and Blake played fine hockey, having things well under control and winning by 4-3. St. Paul Harding, runner-up for the St. Paul city championship, received a merciless 5-1 thumping, as Blake displayed its best hockey form so far. The puck was rarely in Blake territory, as the Blake forwards punched at the Harding goal unceasingly. 86 THE COLL O’ P fl n OF 1941 West High's perennially strong hockey team handed Blake its second defeat of the year. With little teamwork, but several individual stars. West overcame a 2-1 first-period lead, and even scored with only four men on the ice, to earn a 4-2 victory, which can only be accounted for by the poor defensive play of Blake. But the puck-pushers came back in the next game, and succeeded in beating Marshall. 2-1. Although the ice was soft. Blake's play was superior. Dick Gale scored in the second period, and Chet Simmons scored the winning goal on an assist from Roddy Shearer. As usual, Goalie Harrison was peppered with shots, but he stopped most of them in fine shape. The next day Blake played on foreign ice for the first time against Roosevelt. the Minneapolis city champions. Throughout three periods and an overtime. neither team could break a 0-0 deadlock. In the return game with Washburn. Blake outplayed the school by a considerable margin. Ted Greer scored Blake's only goal, but Washburn also scored, and a 1-1 tie was the result of the game. The best team of the year was met in Cretin. Always powerful, this year Cretin beat Blake on a goal in the last thirty seconds. Previously, goals by Willie Hield. Chet Simmons, and Ted Greer had knotted the count at 3-all. The hockey supremacy of Blake over Shattuck came to an end January 25. Although there was no fight this year, the game was a thriller. Shearer. Gluck, and Greer scored for Blake to give the Hilltoppers a 3-1 lead in the final period, after they had had some difficulty in penetrating Shattuck's packed defense. But the Shads scored three goals in the last period, and eked out a 4-3 victory. Roosevelt displayed power and persistence to beat Blake. 3-2, in a hard struggle in the return game between the schools. Greer and Shearer scored for Bhke. but Roosevelt scored the winning goal in the last 1 5 seconds. The return game with Marshall showed a strange reversal of form, and Marshall won in a slow game by 1-0, although they were well outplayed. The second meeting with West went to a 0-0 tie. West had been weakened by graduation, but could unfortunately still hold its own. and Blake failed to gain revenge for the previous victory of West. The two games with S.P.A. were uninteresting from Blake's point of view. S.P.A. was far superior to Blake, winning the first game. 5-0. and the second game, 8-1. Ted Greer was the only one who managed to score for Blake in either game. Faced by a big. dazzlingly fast team, undoubtedly the best in the Twin Cities. Blake was forced to relinquish its hold on the Red Squirrel Trophy. The second game was marred by several fights, one of which promised to develop into a first-class riot before it was stopped. To Captain Roddy Shearer went the Dartmouth Trophy for the best hockey player, and it was well deserved, for Roddy has played hard all year, and carried out well his position as captain of the team. 87 THE CALL O’ PHI) Of 1941 Back Row: Gallenkamp (manager). Mr. Wonson. Aslcson. Bull. M. Heffelfinger. NafTziger. Preus. C. Johnson. Mr. Watson. Mr. Owen. Front Row: Kucchlc. J. Hicld. Maxcincr. Wingate. Gluck (captain). F. Heffelfinger. F. Moore. Simmons. Ossanna. BASEBALL BASEBALL activity around Blake commenced during Spring Vacation, when the team went into spring training in Kansas City, at the invitation of the Pembroke Country Day School there. For a whole week the team lived and played baseball, engaged in several games, and returned as a group of seasoned players. Under the coaching of Mr. Owen. Mr. Watson, and Mr. Wonson. the Bears began the season auspiciously. Under Mr. Wonson’s tutelage, the pitching staff excelled both in quantity and quality. Chuck Johnson and Jack Bonner were the starting pitchers, with a couple of newcomers. Dave Bull and Dix Asleson. providing relief strength. In the catching department. Bob Maxeiner and Jim Hield shared the assignments, giving Blake more talent and hitting power in that department than the Bears have seen for several years. Frank Heffelfinger covered first base brilliantly. Captain AI Gluek and Mark Heffelfinger provided a strong keystone combination which raked up a large number of double plays, and Dave Naffziger patrolled the hot corner. This infield was unquestionably one of the best in recent years. Chet Simmons and Harry Kuechle were regular ramblers in left field. Jack Bonner and Dinty Moore alternated in center, and Bud Wingate covered the right field turf. T his group in the outer gardens provided a good deal of welcome punch at the plate. Starting the season at home against Vocational High on April 18. the Bears lost their first game 4-2. Although fielding was good, the team was unable to get hits when they were needed. In the next contest, against Southwest, the hitting improved, but this time several errors enabled the opponents to depart with a 2-1 victory. Finally hitting their stride against Pillsbury, the Bears emerged from a 88 THE CALL O’ PAI) Of 1941 thrilling game with their first win. 7-6. This game was marked by the consistent and timely hitting of Captain A1 Gluek. and improved slugging by the whole team. Blake then ran up against a magnificent St. 'I homas team, garnered one hit in the whole game, and was beaten 8-3. Hitting the road to Concordia, the Bears blew up in the third inning, let in six runs, and went from a 4-1 lead to a 7-4 defeat. The pleasantest victory of the year, and the one which returned Blake to the winning column, came over S.P. A.. 3-1. While Chuck Johnson held the Acads to five hits. Blake pushed across three runs in an exciting sixth inning, and polished off the game with a beautiful double play in the last inning. In the return game against Concordia, the Bears played fine ball to win. 5-1. Jack Bonner pitched one-hit ball, and Bob iMaxeiner powdered out a home run to provide an interesting afternoon. The Shattuck team was mercilessly walloped I 1-4. with Blake featuring two double plays and eleven pilfered bases. The Blake Alumni suffered an in evitable defeat by the Varsity. 4-2. St. Thomas spoiled the fun by tripping the Blakesters again, this time 14-8. Continuing their slump, the Bears allowed Pillsbury to eke out a 6-5 win. although the Owatonna Flyers were outhit and outplayed. However, the Hill-toppers crashed through to revenge over Southwest, beating them 7-4. The opponents seemed dazed after a barrage of home runs, two by Frank Heffelfingcr. and one by Kuechle. At S.P.A.. Simmons started things off with another home run. Taking a hint, perhaps. S.P.A. thereupon proceded to club the daylights out of all four of Blake's pitchers, and emerge from the slugfest with a 1 3-7 victory. The season ended with another defeat, this time at the hands of Shattuck. The Bears had weak play at a few times, and could not force in enough runs to take the game. The final score was 1 0 to 4. With 8 losses and 6 wins, the record of the team this year was not impressive. But as a whole the team played good baseball, and turned in performances which total a satisfactory season. 89 m THE CALL 0’ PAD OF 1941 Back Row: Mr. Hartman. Mr. Bosanko. Rotering. Zelle, P. Heffelfinger. M. Hcffelfinger Fctzer, H. Del.aittrc. J. Hoaglund. Mackall, Ervin (manager). Front Row: Lahiff. Childs. Gallcnkamp. F. Hcffelfinger (captain). Davis. C. Winton. A. King. s uu i m m i n g THE swimming team this year had one of its most successful years. Led by Captain Frank Heffelfinger. the team won nine meets while losing only to Shat-tuck and University High, two of the best teams in the state. Blake defeated Edison. 44-31: Boys' Vocational. 50-25: Cretin. 51-24: Minneapolis Central, 42-33: and South. 55-20: then it lost to Shattuck. 43-23. After defeating North. 54-21, and losing a close meet to U. High. 36-30. Blake finished the regular season by defeating Breck. 5 7-18: St. Thomas. 40-26: and a strong Marshall team. 36-30. Highlighting the season were the performances of the relay team and the brilliant showing of Mark Heffelfinger. The relay team was undefeated, and after having tied the Blake record three times, finally broke it by one-tenth of a second, swimming the 160-yard distance in one minute. 29.9 seconds. Mark lost only one event during the season after having been out of the first two meets thru illness. He was the most consistent performer on the squad. To top off the season. Blake finished fifth in the Thirteenth Annual Northwest meet held in the University pool. Mark got a fourth in the 50-yard dash, and the relay team, comprised of the three Heffelfingers. and George Williams, finished second in the 200-yard event. There were sixteen lettermen this year: Mark and Peavey Heffelfinger. George and Jack Williams. Henry Mackall. John Gregg. Crane Winton. Sayer Rotering and Sheldon Childs in the free style: Jim Hoaglund and Howard DeLaittre in the breaststroke: Frank Heffelfinger and Bruce Fetzer in the backstroke: George Gallenkamp and Fred Davis in the diving: and Ervin, the manager. Although the team will lose George Williams, the Arthur Trophy winner, Bruce Fetzer. the Guy Thomas Trophy winner. DeLaittre. Childs. Gallenkamp. and Lahiff. the outlook of a fine team for next year is promising. 93 THE CULL 0’ PHD Of 1941 Mr. Cleveland. Richards. Cameron Nunan. R. Shearer. T E n n I S ALTHOUGH prospects at the beginning of the year were not too encouraging, the tennis team came through this year with a fairly successful season, with 4 wins and 4 losses. The lineup was as follows: Roddy Shearer, number one man: Captain John Nunan. number two. and Cameron, number three. The two doubles teams were Shearer and Nunan. and Cameron and Richards. The season was auspiciously begun with two victories over Pillsbury Academy and Deephaven. 5-0 and 4-1 respectively. Except for rain. Blake would have chalked up a win over S.P.A.. but when Blake was leading 5-0. the match was called. The first defeats came from Shattuck to the tune of 5-0. and from Deep-haven 5-2. However. Blake swept through their next two matches, defeating Pillsbury 5-0 and University High 4-1. Their second game with S.P.A. resulted in a 5-1 defeat, and in the last match of the year. Shattuck downed Blake 6-0. This year Roddy Shearer won the Upper School tennis tournament, thus being awarded the Faculty Trophy. 94 THE CALL 0’ PHI) Of 1941 Dunnavan (manager). J. Hoaglund. Rotcring. Childs. Habermann. Mr. Glenn. GOLF IN spite of the loss of all of last year's lettermen. the golf team has made a fine showing under the coaching of Mr. Glenn. The team won four matches, lost three and tied two—a record which was very much better than most far-seeing persons would have believed possible at the beginning of the season. Ray Haberimrn piayed number one position. Captain Sayer Rotering number two. and Sheldon Childs number three, throughout the season. Jim Colvin played number four in the first two matches and Jim Hoaglund number four in the remaining matches. The other members cf the team were Manager Dunnavan. Dwight Williams. Bob Fink, and George Nelson. In the first match of the season the team defeated St. Louis Park 6'j to 5, . Then they lost two in a row to Central and West. 7 2 to 4 1� . and 8 to 4 respectively. After two ties of 6 to 6 with University High and Shattuck. Blake defeated Cretin 1 2 to 0. Wayzata 6l to 5y2. and University High 8 to 4 in a return match, before losing to Shattuck in the final half of the year. Ray Habermann won the Michelson Trophy in a contest held among the members of the team. He met Sayer Rotering in the finals, and won one up after twenty holes of play. 95 THE CALL 0 ’ Pfln 0 f 1941 COEffIC I E n T s A TEAM A TEAM football under Mr. Glenn came through rather successfully this year with four victories and two defeats. The season began with the St. Phillip's game, a 7-6 win for Blake. Unfortunately this same team returned a week later with a considerably heavier backfield to dish out a 24-0 score. In the first St. Paul game, the Bears were barely nosed out. 7-0. However, the return engagement, a hard-fought battle in rain and mud. brought a 6-0 victory for Blake. The two remaining games of the season were with the Musketeers, with triumphs for Blake of 41-6. and 14-7. Baseball also proved more than satisfactory with three wins and only one loss. The first encounter with the Academy brought home a 9-7 victory. The next game was held at the Parade Grounds with the Musketeers. The score was Blake. 5. Musketeers, 4. However when the team travelled to Patrick Henry, they met a much larger and far superior squad which dubbed them 19-5. Nevertheless, the team wound up the season by defeating St. Paul again. 6-5. Certainly Steve Woodrich deserves some special mention, as he was captain of both baseball and football, and accounted for a great deal of the scoring throughout the season. B TEAM 'THE undefeated B team began its season this year by downing Kenwood 6-0. although in a second game this same team managed to salvage a 6-6 tie. Next on schedule was the S.P.A. game, which resulted in a 6-0 victory for Blake. The second encounter ended Blake 13. S.P.A., 6. In baseball, the B team again proved invincible. Its first victim was St. Paul, by a score of 9-8. Next was Hopkins. 9-5. followed by Kenwood. 1 3-0. The final game of the season, with S.P.A.. resulted in a 1 3-6 victory for Blake. C TEAM THE “C” team also came through with a triumphant season by being undefeated. Although their first engagement was a 6-6 tie with Kenwood, they avenged themselves by walloping the team 14-0 in a second encounter. In their next contest. the Death Valley Warriors downed Douglas 6-0. The two games with St. Paul came out very successfully for Blake, with a 1 3-0 victory both times. The “C” team continued its fine showing on into the baseball season, winning two. tieing one. and dropping none. The first S.P.A. game was a dangerously narrow squeak, from which Blake emerged with a margin of only 32 to 4. The game with Kenwood ended in a 6-6 tie. and the final contest of the season was a 23-3 walloping of St. Paul. It is interesting to note that Blake was the winner of all six coefficient baseball contests with S.P.A. this year. Certainly the credit for this outstanding record should go to the coaches of the various teams: Mr. Glenn, “A football: Mr. Bittinger. “A” baseball: Mr. Lean. “B football: Mr. Averill. “B” baseball; Mr. Bittinger. C” football: Mr. Lean. “C” baseball. 96 THE CALL O’ P A n 0 f 1941 JUniOR DEPflRTmEflT 1'HIS year is Junior Blake's first year in its new quarters. It now occupies the ground floor of the Blake House, one of the boarding houses. Last year the Trustees decided to abandon the old school building in town. This decision was motivated by a gradual decrease in the Junior department’s enrollment. Because of the request of several parents, who had counted on having their sons continue in the Junior School, third, fourth, and fifth grade classes have been conducted in the new quarters. These three grades contain twenty-five boys. These boys in the Junior department meet in the morning at the same time as the Senior department: eight forty-five. After a morning of classes the boys go to the Senior School to eat their lunch with the Lower School. After lunch they return to their classrooms. However, each class spends two periods a week in the Manual Training Shop under the direction of Mr. Westmark. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays the boys stay for a play period during which they engage in various seasonal sports under the supervision of their Playground Director. Mr. Close. At the end of this period the boys may be excused, but they often stay with Mr. Close until five, when the Senior department is dismissed. The outlook for the Junior School is far from poor. This is shown by the fact that on Guest Day. the Junior School entertained forty visitors. Undoubtedly Junior Blake will continue its fine work, and will still be a feeder for the Senior department.
