ALDER At the beginning of this yearbook it is only natural that we pay tribute to Mr. Eugene C. Alder, the man most responsible for the high standing Blake now enjoys. Ever since Mr. Alder came here in 1927, the prestige of the school has steadily risen, and it is his outstanding leadership which has been the driving factor in putting Blake on a par with the finest of Eastern preparatory schools. His unswerving loyalty, his desire to promote Blake interests, have exemplified and inspired the tradition of school spirit so strong in all Blake boys. Whether raising the scholastic rating, backing all athletics, or pushing school activities, every Blake man knows he has the energetic support of our headmaster. Suffice it to say that from the boys and men he has come in contact with, Mr. Alder has won such admiration and respect as few men can hope to have.

CLEVELAND For the past two years Mr. Cleveland has devoted his tireless effort and wise counsel to the class of '43. This year, crippled by losses of boys and beset with the uncertainties of war, the problems and difficulties of our Senior year have been more difficult than ever before. To Mr. Cleveland we owe the thanks for getting us to overcome these obstacles and assume the responsibilities of leadership as Seniors. Cleve's friendship and advice will be remembered by all of us as one of the most valuable parts of our trip through Blake. THE CALL O ’ P A N AS WE WERE IN THE THIRD FORM CLASS HISTORY We of the Class of '43 are graduating under conditions which, with no distortion of fact, could be called the most unusual that have ever faced a Blake Senior Class, for all our activities have been subject to the uncertainties and curtailments of war. In view of these circumstances it might even be said that the record we have made is also unusual, although we have been roundly criticized in many quarters for our shortcomings. The story of the Class of 1943 begins in the fall of 1931, when four of our number entered the First Grade of the Junior School. These freshly-scrubbed innocents were George Barbour, Dave Bull, Ted Lyman, and Chuck Winton. This quartet became, year by year, progressively less innocent, until they finally reached the Senior School, to be joined by Rog Atwood, Pete Heffel-finger, Chuck Kingman, Bud Mackall, Bemie Nelson, Jim Strieker, and Sayer Rotering. We received no more permanent additions during the following three years, but in the Fourth Form came Bob Fink, Chuck Hanson, Ross Hanson, Chuck Johnson, Arnie Morse, George Nelson, Dave Naffziger, and Eddie Schlampp. After another year, in which we used up our surplus energy by, among other things, throwing furniture cut of the Upper Study windows, we were joined by Fred Davis. As Juniors our group was augmented by the entrance of Bill Bryan, Guy McDonald, and Chuck Witham, and the class received its latest addition last fall with Dick Olsen. The leadership of the Class of 1943 received a distinct blow last February when Dave Bull left school to attend Yale and Chuck Johnson joined the Army Air Corps Meteorological program. Dave was Head Boy and had always been a leader in all activities, and Chuck was on the Student Council, Football Captain, and President of the Athletic Association. O F FORTY-TH RE E Dave Bull was succeeded as Head Boy by Woodward Kingman in February, and Ross Hanson and George Nelson were elected to fill the resulting vacancies. Our class officers this year were George Nelson, president; Dave Naffziger, vice-president, and Henry Mackall, secretary and treasurer. Both these groups deserve a world of credit for helping remedy the condition of sagging morale and poor school spirit which plagued the school in general and our class in particular earlier in the year; and the results of the various drives and extra-curricular activities are a sure indication of the success of our leadership. In a year of such confusion and uncertainty as this, the help of our advisor, Mr. Cleveland, was particularly needful and welcome. Although on several occasions this advice was far from pleasant and flattering, we will all now agree that it was necessary and extremely effective. In spite of the difficulties we feel that the class of '43 has contributed a few worthwhile precedents to Blake. We point with pride to the outstanding honor won by the Publications Board, to the brilliant success of the Glee Club Concert, and to the tremendous record made in the various war drives and the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Athletically the outstanding teams were the swimmers and especially the golfers, whose four Seniors brought the squad through its best season in Blake history. We were shocked on January 4, 1943, to hear of the accidental death of Herbert Charles Moore, who had been with us since the First Form. Chuck was not spectacular or outstanding, but he was always capable, pleasant, and responsible. He was a good man, and to us an irreplaceable friend; his work is now our work, and his memory, our privilege. THE C A L L O ’ P A N ROGER WOODWARD ATWOOD Entered Blake 1936 “Rog Dartmouth “Lord! I wonder what tool it was that first invented kissing. —Swift Rog has often puzzled his classmates, for he is subject to rather inexplicable periods of dreaminess—inexplicable because he is one of the few Seniors who did not “lose their rings and who have remained moderately independent. Many wonder whether this trait affects Roger, the waiter, for he has a knack of being almost invariably the last one to finish. But enough of this theorizing. As Secretary of the Glee Club, Rog has been so zealous in keeping up attendance that he has had little time to appear for practice himself. In seven years at Blake Rog has given his ardent support to many sports and practically all extra-curricular activities. His interpretation of a Gay Nineties gentleman wooing his lady made him one of the stars in Dramatics this year. For several years he was a reporter for the TORCH and this year was an editor. Besides his varied activities and his excellent scholastic record, Rog has been one of our most sociable classmates. He has avoided becoming too completely embroiled in the various cliques and as a result is well known and well liked by all. We are sure that this popularity will continue to be true in all his future contacts. O F FORTY-THREE GEORGE LANE BARBOUR Entered Blake 1931 Fuzzy Harvard Then he will talk, good gods how he will talk. —Lee Fuzzy has been with our class for twelve years and during this time he has always been a hard worker. In fact, many think that he does as much work preparing to work as actually working. In any case, George has always kept his marks well above average. He climaxed two years of hard work in Dramatics this year and portrayed the epitome of the high-class English butler. He has long been one of Mr. Bryan's star boarders, though he has had considerable difficulty learning the meaning of certain rules, such as getting to meals on time. This year he put his heart and soul into Debating and was a vociferous participant in the Forum Debate. Athletically, George took an early aversion to sport of all kinds—except talking. He has been seen nevertheless cutting a pretty figure on the tennis courts and last winter took up swimming. We mentioned talking, at which George is an expert: he just opens his mouth and lets habit do the rest. At times this ability has gotten him into considerable difficulty with the class pranksters, but George has taken this maltreatment amiably and as a result has instilled considerable respect for himself into his classmates. We are sure that in college and later he will augment the record he has made for himself. ☆ ☆ ☆ THE CALL O ’ P A N WILHELMUS BOGART BRYAN, III Entered Blake 1941 ''Bogey'' Princeton “A stature undepressed in size. Wordsworth For two years Blake has viewed with wonder the procession of sleekly-tailored suits and sumptuous ties with which Bill drapes himself, for this eastern city-slicker is always well-dressed from the bottoms of his size 13 shoes to the top of his alluringly wavy hair, a total distance of some six and one-half feet. Bill has displayed his talent in Dramatics, as an athletic Macduff last year and this year as one of the most unforgettable feminine leads in Blake history. This year he carried out the job of Property Manager as well, with admirable confusion. As Manager of the Press Club, Bill executed well the thankless task of gaining newspaper space for Blake events. Last fall he occupied his Play Periods sprinting, gazelle-like, about the uncertain terrain of the touch-football field, and in the winter made his letter as defense on the hockey team. Scholastically. Bill’s real ability would be more evident if he stopped handing in papers which looked as if written with a charred stick held between his toes. Bill has gained widespread fame as a keyboard exponent of Le Jazz Hot, and it has required much of Miss Berglund's time to keep him from belaboring the nearest piano during free periods. All in all, we are sure that Bill's real ability will make him a success wherever he goes. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FO RTY-TH RE E DAVID FRELINGHUYSEN BULL Entered Blake 1931 Dave Yale Head Boy '42 Small to greater matters must give way. —Shakespeare It was truly a great blow to Blake when Dave Bull left school for Yale on February 5. However, this was another of the adjustments that many boys here have had to make in war time. Lacking the perfect eyesight necessary for any of the reserve corps, Dave realized that his only chance for college was in leaving Blake immediately, since he would become of draft age in June. Thus Blake lost a fine athlete, scholar, and all-around fellow. Besides holding the high position of Head Boy, Dave took active part in the Glee Club, Union, Publications, and Dramatics. Dave made his football, hockey, and baseball letters last year, and captained the hockey squad this year. Unfortunately a back injury prevented him from making football again this fall. Prominent in other fields also, Daniel had the distinct honor of being the first to lose his Senior ring, an affair for which he has suffered a ceaseless amount of kidding. In spite of violent protestation, he frequently found his name in the TORCH subtly (?) linked with that of a certain fair maiden from the local seminary. All kidding aside, if his record at Old Eli has been anything like the one he made at Blake, we can rest assured that it is a fine one. THE CALL O ’ P A N FREDERICK PARSONS DAVIS Entered Blake 1940 Fred Minnesota It is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing. —Galatians This refugee from U. High entered the time-honored halls of Blake three years ago to become one of the most illustrious members of the class of '43. More than any other Senior, Fred has built his enviable record through sheer determined effort. This spirit of conscientiousness has gained for him the admiration and friendship of all who have come to know him, a fact attested by his election as member and secretary of the Union. Fred distinguished himself in his first year by placing second in the Fifth Form Declamation Con-lest and giving an excellent performance in the Christmas pageant. He became a member of the Glee Club, and this year was elected its president. For two years he has been one of the mainstays of the Dramatic Association and one of the few reliable writers for the TORCH, serving this year as circulation, manager. Moreover, Fred's ability is not limited to 'the Arts as shown by his three letters in swimming and two in football. Although not a natural diver, his hard-won points and especially his loyalty to the team have played no small part in three fine seasons. An Eagle Scout and holder of numerous Scouting honors, he should go far in the Army, when the local draft board issues the call. They will get a good man. O F FORTY-THREE ROBERT JOHN FINK Entered Blake 1939 “Bob Minnesota “Gladness of the heart is the life of man. —Ecclesiastes Bob is one of those people who can always see the humorous side of a situation, even if the situation is some such occasion as a Physics test on electrostatics. He always has some amusing remark to make on every occasion—except when he's “’mad. When he's ““mad it is highly advisable not to get too close to him for a period of about five minutes. At the end of five minutes, walk up to him cautiously and smile timidly; if he smiles back, you are safe and you may continue where you left off. Seriously, though, Bob is one of the friendliest fellows we know, and he is well-liked by the younger boys as well as by his classmates. He has often been called “‘Smilin' Bob, and with good reason, for he is seldom seen without a broad grin across his face. In the morning a Senior would be very much hurt if he did not receive a cheerful “Hi-ya from Bob. Handsome, red-haired Bob joined the class in 1939 and has made a good showing for himself. Last fall he was manager of the football team. He has been Mr. Alder's pet waiter, and he played for two years on the golf team. Bob is planning on going to the U. of M. this summer to take medicine, and some day we will be proud to say, I used to know Dr. Fink way back when ... THE CALL O ’ P A N CHARLES RICHARD HANSON Entered Blake 1939 Chuck M. I. T. I know what's what, and have always taken care of the main chance. —Cervantes If you ever have a joke to tell which no one but you seems to think is funny, just walk up to Chuck Hanson and tell him your little gem. Chuck probably has the best sense of humor in the entire senior class, and his laugh is contagious. Someone says something funny. Chuck screams with laughter. So does everyone else; but they aren't laughing at the joke. They're laughing with Chuck. This tall, angular lad came to Blake four years ago. Since that time he has shown himself to be a good student, a good athletic manager, a veritable genius in Morse code and a speed demon as a waiter. Besides being Mr. Phillips’ personal aid in the athletic program, he helped to manage the Football team last fall and could always be seen during a game hustling a blanket around some player as he came off the field. It was always a source of amusement to Chuck's friends to argue about some trivial matter with him, for no matter what the argument, the friend in the end would always find himself arguing on the opposite side, while Chuck would be arguing against something which two minutes before he had been arguing for. Chuck was a lot of fun, and he's bound to make a lot of friends when he goes to M. I. T. this summer to study Engineering. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FORTY-THREE EUGENE ROSS HANSON Entered Blake 1939 Ross Marines Cum Laude And beauty draws me with a single hair. —Pope And on this page we find the handsome visage of Private E. Ross Hanson of the U. S. Marines. Ross, one of our most respected members, has made, in his four years at Blake, a record marked by genuine distinction and unfailing modesty. Class President last year, he was elected President of the Union this year. His election to Cum Laude climaxes four years' residence on the Honor Roll, usually the first. He won Honorable Mention in both the Thorpe Cup and Williams Theme Contests. He was Manager of the Athletic Store this year, and he has been prominent in practically all extra-curricular activities. He has been a member of the Forum Committee for two years, a reliable reporter for the TORCH, a two-year member of the Dance Committee, a reserved but effective cheerleader, a lead in Dramatics, and a soloist in the Glee Club. In the field of sports, Ross has done as well, winning both his football and hockey letters this year. He has managed the tennis team this year and has won two letters. But this smooth, versatile gentleman has also been a member of the Senior Room 7th Period Discussion Group; his popularity and respect among his classmates are shown quite adequately by his election to the Student Council, an honor which he fully earned and deserved. lAMHER . ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE CALL O ' P A N FRANK PEAVEY HEFFELFINGER, JR. Entered Blake 1935 Peavey Army Air Corps And what is so tedious as a twice told tale. —Pope Gaze carefully at the portrait dominating the top of this page. Do you see any resemblance to Rudolph Valentino, John Barrymore, or Robert Taylor? Yet this is the picture of Blake's gift to womanhood. On almost any Monday morning Pete could be heard relating to an awed and admiring fellow Senior the adventures of a profitable week-end. In his own words, My motto is ‘treat 'em mean'. Even more amazing is Peavey's athletic record. He won his first two varsity letters a full five years ago. He has earned four letters in football, four in swimming, and two in tennis, even though in 1940 he spent a year away at school in California. In football, Pete handled his 195 pounds as a battering ram on offense and a block of granite on defense. As swimming captain he set school records in the 100 yard breast stroke and the 220 yard free style. The previous year he helped post new records in the relay and the medley. He likewise captained the tennis team and the Whites. He has been a Union member for two years, a stagehand, and by some strange quirk one of Martha's Headwaiters. Pete was headed for Yale, but now will don the khaki of the Army Air Corps. O F FORTY-THREE CHARLES ROY JOHNSON Entered Blake in 1939 Chuck” Army Meteorology I'd rather hug a pigskin than any girl I know.” The first of the class of '43 to heed the call of Uncle Sam, Chuck's departure for the Army Air Corps last February was a serious blow for all of us. In his four years at Blake Chuck's quiet spirit of determination accompanied by a keen and ready wit earned for him the friendship of student and master alike. A good student, he was awarded the Lamb Latin Prize as a Freshman and not infrequently resided on the Honor Roll. But it was on the athletic fields that he was most outstanding. His election as captain of the football team and the presentation of the Williams Cup to him as this year's best player climaxed three seasons in the starting backfield. For two years he was a bulwark of the pitching staff of the baseball team and was an officer of the Athletic Association, serving this year as its president. He was elected to membership in the Union and the Student Council. Head stagehand for the Dramatic Association, last fall he became one of that infamous band known as dining hall waiters. After leaving Blake, Chuck spent a few months in Utah before being sent to Washington University of St. Louis where he is studying for a commission as meteorologist. At the head of his platoon, he is making the same fine record in the Army that he made at Blake. THE CALL O ' P A N WOODWARD KINGMAN Entered Blake 1936 'Chuck'' Amherst Cum Laude Head Boy '43 Though little, I'll work as a Turk.'' —Junius It would be impossible to discuss in a mere paragraph all the accomplishments of this versatile little man, for as speaker, actor, scholar and athlete, Woody has compiled a record of which Blake may be truly proud. Graduating Cum Laude, his talents in the fields of creative writing, Glee Club, Publications, Dramatics, and student government indicate the unusual ability of this unassuming lad. For four years he has been on the Student Council, becoming Head Boy this year when Dave Bull left. Having been president and vice-president of his class, he this year served as president of the Dramatic Association climaxing four years of prominent roles. On the Publications Board he has been Sports Editor, Co-£ditor-in Chief and Co-Business Manager. Woody has placed first in the Wilson Cup, Fifth Form Declamation, Williams Theme and Chapel Speech contests. Elected to the Union at the end of his sophomore year, he has served as its vice-president. Chuck has earned a reputation in athletics as well. The winner of eleven coefficient letters this year became an integral part of the varsity football squad. He was elected acting captain of the hockey squad and this spring won his tennis letter also. Woody is headed for Amherst this summer, and we know that his record at Blake foreshadows success in any field he may choose to pursue. O F FORTY-THREE FREDERICK CLARK LYMAN, JR. Entered Blake 1931 Teddy Yale Valedictorian There is no great genius without a tincture of madness. —Seneca This towering intellect has been one of the top men in his class every month since he entered Blake twelve years ago in the First Grade of the Junior school, and he is Valedictorian and graduates Cum Laude. But the beautiful thing about Teddy is the fact that although he is in some respects the most brilliant in the class, he is also the most modest. Although generally noisily-clad, he is personally very quiet, and when he does say something it is definitely worth listening to. For either he says something extremely interesting or thought-provoking, or he comes out with something very funny. Teddy has a brand of humor all his own, but it is a brand which everybody appreciates. He has been well represented in extra-curricular activities, as Co-Editor and Co-Business Manager of the Publications Board, as a debater for the last two years, as a bit-part performer in the last two Dramatic seasons, as a member of the Union this year, and as a sluggish but determined Upper School waiter. Teddy is also President of the mysterious, semi-existent Blake Orchestra, and in private life he is a wicked cornetist and expert on Hot Jazz. Surely he has deserved the great esteem and friendship which he has won here at Blake. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE CALL O ’ P A N HENRY CLINTON MACKALL, JR. Entered Blake 1936 Bud Amherst Diligence is the mother of good fortune —Cervantes One of the most respected and best-liked fellows in the class, Bud has won the admiration of all for the sheer hard work and determination he puts into all his studies. Moreover he has extra-curriculared in practically every school activity existing. Business Manager of both Glee Club and Dramatics, he has held up the second tenor part of the former since Sophomore year and has been prominent in the latter ever since his stage debut in a G-string three years ago. Besides being a waiter and Head Photographer for Publications, Bud gained more than a few grey hairs as Class Treasurer this year while trying to collect dues from the rapidly diminishing number of his classmates. It was a real tribute to Bud when he finished his four years on the swimming team by winning the Arthur Swimming Award. Though not actually on the football team, he accounted for a great deal of success in the last two years, both as a member of that famous cheer leading team of Kingman, Mackall, and Hanson, and as Homecoming Chairman this fall. Bud's hard work and popularity won him the deserving honor of election to the Union last year, and he became Secretary of that organization this year. Lord Jeff will find a worthy son when Bud hits Amherst this June. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FORTY-THREE GUY FOSTER McDONALD, JR. Entered Blake 1941 Mac Minnesota “To sport an hour with Beauty's chain, then throw it idly by. —Moore In the two years in which Mac has been with us, he has become one ol our most popular classmates. For the most part, during his Junior year, in his classes and in the Upper Study, Mac impressed us as a quiet, shy lad, although knowing he came from West and U. High, we weren’t quite sure. But then we moved into the Senior Room, and our suspicion was confirmed, as soon as we began to hear the flood of “subtle” tales which he poured forth with cosmopolitan indifference to the large groups of innocent, wide-eyed Seniors which gathered around him. You see, Mac's irresistible charm has attracted the other sex, with seemingly so little effort on his part, that he is secretly the most envied member of his class. Besides his social life, Mac specializes in golf, skiing, and marksmanship. His shooting eye has brought him three medals, in fact. Last year in the Blake Plays, Mac played cards as women do” quite hilariously, but this year he turned heavy” and portrayed a crazed, slightly intoxicated murderer, with astonishing reality. In token of his popularity, Mac was elected to the Union this year. In peace time he would have pursued a business course at the U,” but it looks as if the war will modify that business slightly, whatever it might have been. THE CALL O ’ P A N ARNOLD WHITCOMB MORSE Entered Blake 1939 “Amie Harvard Cum Laude Those that think must govern those that toil. —Goldsmith Amie, at first glance, seems so cute and inoffensive that it is hard to realize that he is one of our most talented classmates and our chief exponent of Arts and Letters. Without ever resorting to the combination of drudgery and apple-polish which forms the most popular scholastic weapon of the Senior Class, Amie has frequently led us in scholarship and graduates Cum Laude. For three years he has held important parts in Dramatics, and last winter he captained the Debating Team. Through consistent brilliance he has made himself indispensable to the Publications Board as Managing Editor. Besides these activities, Amie has outside interests which cover practically the entire field of the Arts. He is a skilled and talented pianist. He has painted a number of oil paintings, one of which recently won a prize in a regional contest. He has. written a mysterious mystery novel. Even his clothes, particularly neckties, exhibit artistic finesse. And we have all, at one time or another, been the victims of Amies biting but completely friendly wit. Yes, his talents seem to justify our guess that Amie will bring forth great works. O F FORTY-THREE WILLIAM DAVID NAFFZIGER, JR. Entered Blake 1939 Dave Dartmouth God bless the man who first invented sleep. —Saxe When Dave entered Blake four years ago, it did not take him long to establish his reputation as a quiet, hard-working lad whom everybody liked. He has remained the same popular fellow, although the past year has wrought some rather unexpected changes in certain of his extra-curricular interests and he has entered into the philosophical discussions in the Senior Room with notable enthusiasm. Dave has proved himself a first-class athlete on both the baseball and football fields. He has won three varsity baseball letters for his sterling play on the hot corner, and this year was honored with the captaincy. In football Dave received his letter this year at end. But this tall, limber athlete's other jobs have been numerous and varied. He has been a Lower School Waiter, Vice-President of the Senior Class, and Treasurer both of the Union and the Athletic Association, as well as a staunch bass in the Glee Club. Naffy has performed all these duties in an inconspicuous but efficient manner, and he has not neglected his studies. For he has been on the Honor Roll a good share of the time. Dartmouth will receive a valuable addition in the person of Dave Naffziger. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE CALL O ' P A N BERNARD BENJAMIN NELSON, JR. Entered Blake 1936 Bernie Dartmouth He hath drunk the milk ot paradise. —Coleridge No one knows just when the name of our handsome Bernard took on the affectionate title of Barnyard, but ever since our first timid days in the First Form, he has been one of our most popular members. That good-natured, easygoing personality that simply cannot be perturbed has won him a host of friends. Athlete, social success, and strong man of the class, Bernie's fine physique has served him in good stead whether dashing down the football field, battling in the Senior Room, or gliding across the dance floor. His handsome face and captivating dimples have left a trail of broken hearts of all ages. This year on the football team Bernie climaxed his athletic career by starring at left half. Nellie gargles his food with the best of those that make up that vicious crew of gastronomic criminals otherwise known as the Upper School Waiters. He also proved himself indispensable to the Dramatics Association as a stage hand; without his truck no one knows how the scenery could have been handled in these days of gas rationing. Suffice it to say that Bernie's popularity won him the worthy honor of election to the Blake Union. Now that the draft is snatching us one by one, Nellie can be thankful for being the baby of the class; he'll last longer than most of us at college, where he'll join the loyal delegation to Dartmouth. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FORTY-THREE GEORGE ERNST NELSON, JR. Entered Blake 1939 George Minnesota Cum Laude Class President He shall rule them with a rod of iron. —Revelations The scene is the Senior Room. Twenty-two seniors are either yelling at the top of their lungs or breaking chairs over each other's heads. In the center of the room, gesticulating wildly, stands a boy with curly black hair. He is the President of the Class of '43 and is courageously trying to bring at least the semblance of order to what is commonly referred to as a class meeting. When George was elected president last fall, it showed what respect and esteem the class has had for him ever since he joined us. In the four years he has been at Blake, George has been a leader in every way. He was a member of the Union for two years; he won two varsity football letters; and he was always one of the top scholastic men in the class. George was one of the most respected members of the Senior Class. Although he is somewhat quiet and serious, he is not too serious, and has a good sense of humor, with a smile for everybody. George is going to the University of Minnesota this summer to study medicine, if his Uncle Samuel doesn't grab him for the Army. George doesn't have to worry though; whether M. D. or K. P., he'll get along. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE CALL O ’ P A N RICHARD CLYDE OLSEN Entered Blake 1942 'Dick Minnesota Alas, the love of woman! it is known to be a lovely and a fearful thing. —Byron Dick, the newest addition to our class, had quite a task before him when he joined our number last fall, for the Blake system of education was something of a novelty for him. But through much sweat and perseverance, his happy-go-lucky manner was soon able to assert itself. Dick's most important interest is golf, in which he is truly outstanding, for he reached the semi-finals of the Minneapolis Star-Journal's golf tournament last year and has been a great asset to Mr. Glenn's divot diggers this spring. Last winter Dick earned a reputation as one of Blake's most skilful pugilists. Although in the short time he has been with us Dick has remained to most of us the “mystery man of the class, none of us has failed to notice his uncanny demeanor of calm indifference, a manner which suggests that this tall, blond lad's outside life may not be so sweet and simple as we might think to look at him. In Dramatics last fall Dick astounded us by taking a feminine part and played it with considerable hilarity. Dick would like to take up mechanical engineering at the “U, but it is more probable that he will be applying the contents of Mr. Hodgkin-son's famed Physics course in some technical branch of the service. O F FORTY-THREE VICTOR SAYER ROTERING Entered Blake 1936 Sayer Dartmouth Sport, that wrinkled care derides. —Milton Sayer, or more appropriately. Sport, entered the Class ol 1943 back in 1936 as a Second Former. This handsome, curly-haired youth wasted no time in becoming known as an expert on sports, and when asked suddenly to write a theme or deliver a speech, Sayer has never been at a loss as to what to say. Sayer's own sporting career is no small story itself. He has been a swimming letterman for four years, concentrating on the 220 yard free style, and he captained the great team of 1942. In the last two years Sayer has been awarded the coveted Guy Thomas Swimming Trophy. Sport has also been an important figure in golf, for he was captain for the last two of his four years on the team. Last year he won the Michelson Trophy for his prowess. But Sayer isn't out just for his own glory. For Coach Johnny Hartmann has called him his most indispensable aid on the swimming team, of which he has kept a complete record for four years. Sayer, too, was the fellow who kept an inning by inning account of the World Series posted on the Senior Room door last fall. Lower School Headwaiter this year, member of the Union, and general morale-builder in the Senior Room, Sayer is one of the best-liked among his classmates and is sure to succeed. THE CALL O ’ P A N Eddie certainly possesses as sweet a disposition and as radiant a smile as any other human being, but these qualities are often overshadowed by the fact that this bronzed, 6 foot 4 inch giant also possesses 200 pounds of rippling muscles. On the latter account he has been an indispensable man on the football team for two years, Blake's Heavyweight Boxing Champion this year, and an unholy terror in the Senior Room. He has wrought untold damage to the room, to the other Seniors, and to all underclassmen unfortunate enough to stray within his ample wingspread. But Eddie's achievements are not all muscular. His Juliet” in the Glee Club concert would do credit to any other basso profundo. His Fifth Form Declamation is dear to the hearts of all who heard it, although, on some technicality, it did not win. Mechanically inclined, Eddie has terrified the class with his exploits on practically all motor vehicles from a motor scooter to a Cadillac. Bowed under the burden of a brutal three-course schedule, Eddie has kept his grades above par through such devices as taking Mr. Glenn fishing in his notorious speedboat. No, we are sure that Eddie really means no harm, but—but he simply doesn't know his own strength. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FORTY-THREE JAMES BEST STRICKER, JR. Entered Blake 1936 '‘Jim” Minnesota Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings. —Proverbs Jim, the only member of the class who would draw an Economic Geography map for the sheer joy of it, has been the ’’handy Andy of the class ever since he entered way back in the First Form. Whatever job might require attention, Jim would always be ready, willing, and able to tackle it. Thus, when the hockey team found itself without a manager this year, the job was cheerfully taken by Jim, who faced the rather bleak prospect in a most efficient way. He has been a joy to Miss Berglund as our chief substitute waiter. As further proof of his versatility, Jim has drawn many neat, colorful propaganda posters whenever a school function needed advertising. While others were idling away their time in the Senior Room, Jim was at work on the War Rond Mural in the Trophy Room, one of his most ambitious and successful projects. Jim has been a consistent Honor Roll student, and his presidency of the Union has been a tribute both to his popularity and his leadership. Jim's hobby is airplanes, and he has a fine collection of models which he displayed for a time in the show-case. We expect at some time the University of Minnesota will discover that it has gained a talented aeronautical engineer from Blake. THE CALL O ’ P A N CHARLES JOEL WINTON, III Entered Blake 1931 Chucky Princeton With the smile that was childlike and bland. —Harte It is now twelve years since Chuck and the rest of that bewildered little group toddled into the First Grade of Junior Blake to form the nucleus of the Class of '43. Like the others, Chuck has gotten over most of his bewilderment, and he has come to be known as one of those quiet, steady types which form the best element of any class. A versatile athlete, Chuck has participated in all major sports since coefficient days. Scholastically, he has always been a thorough worker on those subjects which have interested him and has employed a policy of passive resistance with the rest, with the result that he probably is still not too sure about the eleven companions of Euphrosyne or just why anyone would want to know the eleven companions of Euphrosyne. During the last Dramatics season Chuck offered his services as a Stagehand and spent a happy three days bouncing furniture in and out of the Woman's Club. In graduating from Blake Chuck presents a record without brilliance but with all the distinction which goes with hard, steady work. His friendliness and reliability are sure to make him a leader in whatever field he enters. ☆ Q ☆ ☆ ☆ O F FORTY-THREE CHARLES ALBION WITHAM Entered Blake 1941 Chuck Minnesota There are lots of good fish in the sea. —Gilbert Chuck has been honoring these hallowed halls for the past two years and has accordingly created something of a disturbance. He would arrive at school somewhat hastily and somewhat late each morning in a tired brown Plymouth sedan and immediately describe his activities of the previous night to anyone who would listen. Later in the day, after one of his three classes, and when his presence was not required in study hall, he would join in an enlightening round table discussion with some of his fellow students. Still later, Chuck was accustomed to wander around the athletic fields during play. On one such occasion, a manager, out chasing balls, saw him and made him assistant baseball manager, all of which means that this year Chuck has been hard at work managing the team. Since he is not particularly energetic when it comes to studying, Chuck has always been willing to let others demonstrate their ability by permitting them to do his homework. The proofs for his class pictures were especially interesting for they displayed to the fullest his rugged appear ance; in one proof he looked much like Victor Mature—or at least as though he had the same thing on his mind. Although one of the most recent additions to the class, he quickly made himself at home, a thing not remarkable when one considers his assuring manner and friendly disposition. ucietcL a meu THE CALL O P A N Back row: Dunnavan, Klass.

JUNIORS With the addition of Heffelfinger, G., Childs, Lyman, N., Brown, P., Crosby, C., Winton Jones, and Alexander, the class held its election of officers. The class chose Brooks, president; Asleson, vice-president; and Crane Winton, treasurer. Mr. Lundholm was unanimously voted adviser. Mr. Lundholm's counsel helped the class through several pinches, and the class feels deeply indebted to him. Led by Miller, Winton, C., Ritz, and Raines, the class ranked high in scholastics. Crane Winton, Fletcher, and Ritz played important roles in helping make the TORCH such a huge success. Upon looking into the roster of dramatics, one would find the sixth form well represented, including Fletcher, Klass, Dinsmoor, Olin, Shearer, Tuttle, and the Williams twins. The Union elected the following Juniors; Alexander, Asleson, Brooks, Fletcher, Gregg, Klass, Miller, Olin, Raines, Ritz, Robertson, Winton. and Woodrich. Athletically the Juniors were outstanding. Robertson, Klass, Alexander, Gregg, Woodrich, Brooks, Raines, and Asleson won letters in football. Asleson, Ritz, Brooks, Klass, and Woodrich received letters for hockey. Though basketball was still in the experimental stage, Fletcher, Alexander, Williams, S., Williams, P., and Yarger helped establish it as a regular sport. The class is divided between baseball and tennis this spring. The newly formed track team has several juniors on its squad. The class hopes it has filled its place in the school activities this year to the best of its ability. Glenn Brooks, President.

SOPHOMORES The class of '45 began the school year with the addition of but one new member, Tot Heffelfinger. At the first class meeting the following were elected as officers: Howard, president; West, vice-president; and Holmgren, secretary-treasurer. Harold Finch was again our representative on the Student Council. In football, Hayes, Parks, Bones, West, and Heffelfinger were varsity letter men. Finch, Baker, Bennett, Geissler, Kingman, Smith, Wyer, and Townsend made their letters on the A team, while the rest of the boys played on the Junior Varsity. During the winter, Bones, Finch, Howard, and Wyer earned letters on the varsity hockey team, and Smith won his letter on the swimming team. Most of the other boys either played basketball or skied. This spring, the majority of the boys are out for baseball, with a few working with Mr. Smith on the track team. Kingman, Crosby, and Fullerton are on the tennis team. Horn won the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, living up to his reputation as Three-time winner of the Wilson cup. Scholastically the class has also stood high. Those helping to keep up the average are Heffelfinger, West, Finch, Groth, Michael, Brill, Crosby, Kingman, Townsend, and Naffziger. In closing, the class would like to thank Mr. Smith for his constant help and advice throughout the school year.

FRESHMEN When the school year opened last fall, we welcomed six new boys into an already large number—namely, Christensen, Day, Morse, Stoker, Tuttle and Ward; at the beginning of the Spring Term Mayall entered our class. The first class meeting of the year saw the following class officers elected: Winton, president; Clifford, vice president; Duff, secretary-treasurer. Hutchinson represented our form on the Student Council A large number played football on one of the various squads. On the Junior Varsity were Clifford, Krogness, Wells and Raines. Chapman, Day, DeLaittre, Hersey, Hutchinson, Mason and Ward made their A team letters, while Crawford, MacMillan, Morse, Stoker and Velie played for the B eleven. On account of the war and transportation difficulties only one hockey game was scheduled for the Junior Varsity this winter. However, Clifford, Crawford, DeLaittre, Krogness, MacMillan, Velie, Ward and Winton participated in this sport. Scott Donaldson played on the varsity tennis team. Chapman, Clifford. Crawford, DeLaittre, Krogness, MacMillan, Mason, Morse, Stoker, Velie, Ward and Wells reported to A and B baseball. Glee Club members were Chapman, Raines, Velie, Stevens and Wells. Palm led the class in selling ads for the CALL O'PAN. Dave Duff represented the class in the Dramatics Presentation. Scholastic leaders were Ward and Webb. Donaldson, Duff and Hutchinson also consistently attained honors. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Phillips for his excellent guidance throughout the year as class adviser. —MICHAEL WINTON, President.

Absent: Gregory, Reynolds THIRD FORM In September 8 new boys were enrolled in the Third Form. These were Randolph Brown, Harold Fisher, Thomas Fullerton, John Heegaard, Fred Hill, D'Arcy Leek, Robert McGandy, and David Phillips. Johnson, Howard, and Pratt were chosen as president, vice president, and treasurer, respectively. Although a few of the boys were on the A and C teams, the majority played on the B team. Gamble and Johnson won their A team letters while Strieker, Cowles, Hartwell, Hill, D., Howard, Hyde, Schmitt, Selover, and Thorpe received theirs on the B squad. Brown, R., Pratt, and Wetherby made good on the C team. Unfortunately the Lower School hockey team didn't play any games and no letters were awarded, but there was much talent on the ice from the Third Form. Outstanding in this field were Cowles, Hartwell, MacMillan, and Howard. There were also many who skied during the winter as well as those who played basketball—namely, Thorpe, Gamble, J., Taylor, Fink, Lawrence, Smith, E., and Smith, H. Hartwell, Hill, P., and Johnson will probably earn their baseball letters. The class has been average in scholastic standing, with Cowles, Strieker, Johnson, and Howard coming forth with some fine averages. Fink, Fred Hill, and Heegaard did well in the Glee Club, and Heegaard soloed in the concert. In closing, the members of Third Form wish to extend sincere thanks to Mr. Glenn for his much needed advice and assistance. DOUGLAS JOHNSON, President.

Ray Purdy joined the class at the beginning of the third term. We regret that Duncan MacMillan was sick the whole school year. The class elections showed Horn as president, Leslie as vice-president, and Floback as treasurer. In sports four boys won their football letters on the B team. They were Archie Beard, Dick Bissell, Tim Brown, and George Fahr. On the C team football squad Bruce Atwater, David Ford, Jack Heiner, Steve Krogness, Robert Webb, Bill Horn and Craig Dwinnell received letters. Heiner on the C squad and Fahr on the B team seem to be our best athletes. A football game was played by the two sections of the class. Although the second section led by Loufek fought hard, it lost to Fahr's first section team. Paul Webster, Bill Horn, and Kingsley Murphy played major parts in the school play. Bill Horn won first place in the Wilson Cup Contest. The high scholastic records belong to Mathew Loufek, Robert Webb, and Archie Beard. We of the Second Form wish to thank Mr. Runkle, our advisor, and all the masters who have helped us here at Blake. WILLIAM HORN, President.

Wood FIRST FORM Our form is small this year compared to the First Forms of other years. Its total of fourteen members in all makes it the smallest class in the school. Six new boys came from outside schools while eight came up from the Junior School. The first class meeting of the year last September showed the following results in the election for officers: Hudson Owen, president; Richard Crawford, vice-president; and Robert Palm, treasurer. Last fall all the boys in the class went out for football, most of them were successful in earning their letters on the C team. There was only one of us on the B team. In the winter two First Formers went out for skiing, and all the rest of us played hockey. There were three boys representing the class in the annual Wilson Cup Contest—Bert Pattee, Buddy Hodgkinson, and Huddy Owen. We are proud to say that Buddy Hodgkinson won honorable mention with his humorous recital of Handsome Cyril. Also a large number of the First Form took part in Mrs. Nunan's Lower School Christmas Play. Scholastically Buddy Hodgkinson and Huddy Owen are close rivals for top honors in the class, while several other boys are often on the Honor Roll. We have been very fortunate in having Mr. Wonson as our class advisor and also as our History and Geography teacher. HUDSON OWEN, President.

The Junior Blake Cubs, the baseball team, made a good record with DeWalt Ankeny as captain and Roger Atwood, the coach. Two intra-mural baseball teams, the Lightnings and the Hurricanes, also played many exciting games. Ankeny and Gluek were team captains. John Clark was voted the most outstanding athlete of the school. JUNIOR SCHOOL FACULTY DORWIN E.

The first purpose of the organization is to serve as a recognized medium between the student body and the faculty. Problems, complaints, and suggestions of the students reach the faculty through the Council and receive careful discussion and consideration. Of all the Council's duties, the students would probably consider the management of school dances as the most important. Once again this year the Senior Council members handled the Christmas Dance, and the Junior members arranged the Spring Dance. In addition, a special committee was appointed to plan the Football Dance, inaugurated by the Council four years ago. 1 The most worthwhile duty of the Council was its strong leadership in the various drives during the year: the War Chest, the Help Fund, the War Kit Drive, and above all, the selling of war stamps and bonds beyond the $1,500 goal which had been set. Its part in rendering Blake's wholehearted participation in the 2nd War Loan was truly significant. Bond sales exceeded $12,000. It was through the efforts of the Council that Commencement was moved up a week, an achievement which alone ought to insure popularity with the student body. The programs for Christmas, Vespers, Commencement, Founders Day, and the spectacular Homecoming celebration, were all planned with the help of the Council. Every Monday morning the Council presided over Chapel Service and once again this spring edited the B Book. In relation to the size of the body, no other school organization has felt the effect of war so heavily. At the beginning of the year the members of the Council were Dave Bull, Woody Kingman, and Chuck Johnson from the Senior Class. Bull and Chuck Johnson left Blake at mid-year for Yale and the Army Air Force, respectively, leaving two vacancies, which were filled by George Nelson and Ross Hanson. Woody Kingman became Head Boy in Bull's absence and carried on the fine spirit of leadership set by his predecessor. THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: McDonald, Asleson, Gregg, Heffelfinger.

This organization was founded with the twofold purpose of furthering public speaking and of organized discussion of the school's shortcomings. Its interest in public speaking is further shown by the annual awarding of the Union Medal to the winner of the Fifth Form Declamation Contest. The members remain at school every second or third Friday for dinner, after which a meeting is held in the Library. At each meeting two speeches, one prepared and one extemporaneous, are presented. A brief talk is then given by the faculty guest. After a general discussion of topics of current interest the meetings are adjourned. This year the Union was very fortunate in having Mr. Foss present at its meetings acting as advisor. The last two meetings in the Spring Term are somewhat irregular. At the former the Seniors read prepared papers in which they make criticism of the School and suggest improvements. At the final dinner of the year the boys elected for the next year are present. The fathers of all the boys are also invited.

CUM LAUDE The annual Cum Laude dinner was held on the evening of May 13th to initiate five members of the Class of 1943 into the society—Frederick C. Lyman, Jr., Arnold W. Morse, E. Ross Hanson, Woodward Kingman, and George E. Nelson, Jr. These boys have richly deserved this honor, for each has maintained consistently high averages throughout his high school career. Interesting to note in connection with each candidate is the long list of accomplishments in sports and extra-curricular activities in addition to his scholastic achievements. Frederick Lyman is Valedictorian of the class with an average of 91.30, and has consistently led his class since the First Form. Arnold Morse, whose average of 86.22 makes him Salutatorian, has also been chosen to deliver the Ivy Ode. Ross Hanson, average 85.38, was president of the Blake Union. Woodward Kingman, 84.07, is our present Head Boy. George Nelson, 83.93, is president of the Senior Class. The speaker of the occasion, to which the fathers of the new members as well as many former members were invited, was Dr. George P. Conger, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota. His talk on The Seven Lamps of Culture” proved to be tremendously absorbing and enlightening. Membership in the Cum Laude Society is based entirely on character and scholarship. Those who stand in the upper fifth of their class during the four year course are eligible for election. Thus Cum Laude in the secondary schools is similar to Phi Beta Kappa in colleges. Since the founding of the society at the Tome School in 1906, chapters have been established in a number of outstanding preparatory schools. Blake became a member on February 12, 1927.

Townsend Cowles Spencer O F FORTY-THREE THE TORCH In the general opinion this has probably been the most outstanding year in the history of the TORCH. A new high was reached both in original ideas and literary content, and the 1942-43 Board feels it has really contributed something to Blake. The crowning success was reached when the Columbia Scholastic Press Association announced that at its annual convention, the largest in the country with some 1,400 entrants, the BLAKE TORCH was rated first place in its class and was to be awarded a gold plaque transfixed by a blue ribbon. Accounting for this honor were some major changes in the policy and makeup of the paper. In the first place, the paper was enlarged to a standard college-sized issue of five-column width to put it on a par with other high school papers in the country. This change allowed the institution of several interesting new features—a literary column for Upper and Lower schools, an editorial column, a letters-to-the-editors column, besides the regular faculty, alumni, and humor columns. Last minute scoops, forecasts of events, and sports predictions also helped to make the news more interesting. Every issue carried one or more pictures, making a total of 27 pictures used this year. THE CALL O'PAN The 1943 CALL O'PAN presents no marked changes and follows the general plan of previous years. This year we had a great advantage in that we were allowed to carry on a real ad campaign. Last year it was decided not to have the campaign, and the 1942 CALL O'PAN was unavoidably diminished in size. However, this year's issue has been restored to the full proportions of former years. The general plan of our cover has been designed to conform with the school colors, which have been used in a new and striking manner. The Lens Shots section this year is composed of more pictures in all than ever before, and an attempt has been made to get representative pictures of all student activities. The Division Pages in this issue present a combination of original ideas, particularly the photographs planned and taken by Norton Lyman, and have achieved a new high in artistic merit for pages of this type. They are characteristic of our effort to make this CALL O’PAN a representative history of the year 1942-43 and the Class of 1943. THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: Kingman T., Dinsmoor, Tuttle, Holmgren.

Fletcher, Olsen DRAMATICS ASSOCIATION On the evening of December 4th, 1942, the twenty-ninth annual presentation of four one-act plays was given by the Blake Dramatic Association. It was acclaimed by many as the best presentation in Blake's history. A large portion of this success was due to the great skill and efforts of Dr. Frank Whiting, of the University of Minnesota, who coached the plays. The officers of the Dramatic Association, Woody Kingman, President, Bud Mackall, Business Manager, and Bill Bryan, Property Manager, are to be congratulated on their fine work. Kingman was also in charge of the ticket sales, and 542 dollars were taken in altogether. This is a fine record, especially when all the problems brought on by the war are considered. The first play of the evening was a riotous farce entitled The Mouse Trap. The story is built around a quarrel between Mr. Campbell, played by Roger Atwood, and Mrs. Somers, portrayed by Arnold Morse, concerning the courage of women. Bill Bryan, Dick Olsen, and Arthur Dinsmoor are women friends of Mrs. Somers who come to call during the course of the argument, and when Mr. Campbell pretends he sees a mouse, the fun really starts. Gedney Tuttle took the part of Mrs. Somers' lisping maid, and Woody Kingman filled in at the last moment for Pat Shearer, who was ill, and played Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Campbell Mrs. Somers..

Bob Connell and Cawley are rivals who are fighting over a girl, a girl who remains in the background during the whole play. Bob was played by Woody Kingman, and Cawley was portrayed by Ross Hanson. The plot of the play is such that one of the rivals must leave the picture, for good, and let the other have a clear field with the girl. The two decide to have a duel with pistols. Humor is added to the play by the butler Krebs, played by George Barbour, who is terrified when the two draw their pistols. When the shots are fired Cawley falls to the floor, faking death. He had it all planned that Bob would be so scared that he would leave town and leave the girl for him. He did not count on the fact, however, that Bob would take the girl with him! THE GIRL Cawley...........................................Ross Hanson Krebs..........................................George Barbour Bob..........................................Woodward Kingman The third play was a murder-mystery entitled Thread O'Scarlet. The setting for this eerie drama is a lonely inn in England on a stormy night. That morning a man has been hung for murder. The occupants of the inn are all under the spell of the tragedy. Breen, admirably played by David Bull, comes to the inn drunk. When asked to pay for the drink he buys, he pulls out the murdered man's money bag. Naturally everyone in the inn is horrified, and they all believe Breen was really the murderer. However, Butters, portrayed by Guy McDonald, seals his own doom when he jumps up and shouts that Breen is a dirty thief, and that he has stolen the bag which belonged to the murdered man from him.

Kingston Fletcher played Pyramus, the great lover, and Tom Kingman was Thisbe, the shy, young maiden. These two kept the whole audience in stitches throughout the entire play. But it would not have been the success it was without Gordie Ritz, who took the part of the Wall, Bob Klass, the riotous lion, and Phil Williams and Jack Olin, who were spectators of the play within a play.

GLEE CLUB Although transportation difficulties kept the 1942-43 Glee Club at home and inactive most of the time, this large group of thirty-four members presented an annual concert, widely quoted a best yet, and several Chapel programs of fine quality during the year. Seventeen of the thirty-four members were veterans, and as a result the group was able to present several programs early in the fall, since its seasoned singers needed a minimum of preparation. Founders' Day found the Glee Club rendering Anchors A weigh and And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time with Dix Asleson as soloist. At a special Monday-morning Sing, late in the fall term, the Glee Club led the school in a program of college and patriotic songs. Woodward Kingman was Master of Ceremonies and Ross Hanson was soloist. As in other years, the Glee Club furnished the musical background for the Lower School Christmas Play, Dickens' A Christmas Carol. But the Glee Club reached a new peak in its gradual annual improvement with its concert at the auditorium of St. Mark's Cathedral, February 5. After a rigorous month of preparation the Blake Glee Club stepped out before a capacity crowd and presented a fine program. The soloists, who all won enthusiastic praise for their renditions, were Robert Maxeiner, Blake '41, who was guest baritone soloist, Dix Asleson, the Glee Club's featured tenor soloist, and Jimmy Allen, pianist, who also served as accompanist. The Whim Whams, a special group within the Glee Club, added comedy to the otherwise serious program with four humorous numbers in which Kingman, Schlampp, Heegaard, Raines and Davis had the solo parts. The program ended with four patriotic numbers and the National Anthem, which was accompanied by the appearance of the Flag and its guard of three service men. Much of the success of this, the best chorale program ever presented by a Blake Glee Club, was due to the kind assistance of Mrs. W. F. Jewett, who decorated the auditorium, Mr. Otto Zelner, who gave the Whim Whams their stunts and songs, Dr. Frank Whiting, who made suggestions as to lighting, and O F FORTY-THREE Mr. Hodgkinson, who engineered the skillful and successful lighting effects. The large profit from the concert was again donated to the Call O' Pan fund. The Glee Club owes Mr. Avery a great deal of thanks and praise for his efforts on its behalf. Under his direction, the group, which had originally clamored for a joint operetta with Northrop, discovered that chorale work can be not only artistic but also enjoyable. The record album of Shostakovitch's Fifth Symphony, presented to Mr. Avery on the night of the Concert, was but a small token of the Club's appreciation of his work. Glee Club Keys were awarded this year to Dix Asleson, John Gregg, Woodward Kingman, Robert Klass, Henry Mackall, Robert Raines, Nathaniel Stevens and David Bull. OFFICERS: 1942-43 Fred Davis.....................................President Roger Atwood...................................Secretary Henry Mackall..........................Business Manager THE BLAKE ORCHESTRA Blake is widely known for having a full study schedule which does not allow a boy much spare time, and the percentage of the boys at Blake who can find the time or enthusiasm to play a band instrument naturally suffers under this system. Hov ever, Blake does have an orchestra, an active musical organization which practices regularly and has attained a high degree of success during the short time in which it has been able to develop. Mr. Harris Nelson, a prominent local instrumental teacher and bandmaster, was obtained in midyear to direct the orchestra after many unsuccessful efforts with other leaders, who invariably joined the Navy after a few weeks. Under Mr. Nelson's direction the orchestra has grown from a heterogeneous, uncoordinated group of four brass, five reeds, and two rhythm units into an organization capable of public performances. The officers chosen in the election this year were Ted Lyman, President, Dick Campbell, Vice President, and John Thompson, Secretary and Treasurer. With a little more time and effort, we shall soon have a well-balanced outfit which will be as creditable to the school as any other extra-curricular activity. ANNUAL GLEE CLUB CONCERT THE CALL O ’ P A N Standing: Mitchell, Lyman F„ Mr. Johnson, Lyman N. Seated: Horn C., Groth, Morse A., Barbour DEBATING Our national privilege of free speech and discussion is nowhere so well preserved as in the activities of the Blake Debating Team. This year's team was developed and coached chiefly by Mr. Edie, whose duties were taken over by Mr. Johnson when he left for the service. The national debate subject this year was: Resolved: that a Federal World Union should be set up after the war. Debates on this subject were arranged by Arnold Morse, the President, and Mr. Edie with teams from public high schools, among them Southwest, Roosevelt, Patrick Henry and North. The affirmative team was made up this year of Charles Horn, George Barbour, Scott Donaldson, John Hutchinson and Bill Groth. Negative debaters were Arnold Morse, Norton Lyman, Frederick Lyman and Morris Mitchell. The climax of the debating season this year was the annual Forum debate before the entire school. The participants in this contest were Charles Horn and George Barbour, affirmative, and Arnold Morse and Norton Lyman, negative. According to the vote taken of the school, the affirmative team won the debate and the Strieker Debating Cup for the best individual speaker was awarded to Charles Horn. FORUM Under the capable management of Mr. Edie, Ross Hanson, and Gordon Ritz, eight forums were held this year. The outside speakers included Theodore Broch, former mayor of Narvik; Rev. Kyle E. Haseldon; Mr. Donald C. Fletcher; Mr. Dewey Albinson, well-known Minneapolis artist; and Mr. Gideon Seymour, editorial writer of the Star-Journal. O F FORTY-THREE PUBLIC SPEAKING Mr. Bryan, in the Upper School, and Mrs. Nunan in the Lower School, can again be given credit for a most successful year in all branches of Public Speaking at Blake. This year, as usual, each Senior spoke twice before the school in Chapel, and each Junior once. The topics for the speeches, the diction, and the expression were all exceptional, and on the whole it can be said that the Chapel speeches this year were outstanding. In the Williams Essay Contest this year the five who read their themes before the school were Fred Davis, Ross Hanson, Arnold Morse, Woodward Kingman, and Frederick Lyman. The contestants were judged on presentation, originality, imagination, and general interest. The winner was Woodward Kingman, whose theme, Sunshine, followed by continued cloudiness, portrayed magnificently the character of a man imprisoned in a German concentration camp. Second prize was won by Ross Hanson, whose theme was entitled The Fourth Strike. The annual Thorpe Cup Contest for Extemporaneous Speaking, open to Seniors, was held on April 22 this year. As every year, the subjects dealt with Minnesota. The candidates were allowed forty minutes to prepare their talks after the subjects had been assigned. Arnold Morse was the winner, with his talk, Transportation in Minnesota, and Ross Hanson was awarded honorable mention with Mining in Minnesota. In this year's fifth Form Declamation Contest the speakers were Morris Mitchell, Jim Park, Charles Horn, Bill Groth, and Leslie Brown. Charles Horn, who gave an excellent presentation of The Snow Goose, by Paul Gallico, has been awarded the Union Medal, and Bill Groth received Honorable Mention for his recitation of his own theme, Escape. In the Wilson Cup Contest for the Lower School, William Horn was awarded first prize for his recitation of Sleeping Outdoors. Harold Hodgkin-son won Honorable Mention with Cyril, the Messenger Boy. LOWER SCHOOL DRAMATICS A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens' famous story, was dramatized last December by the Lower School as their annual Christmas presentation. This noteworthy production was again under the skilled supervision of Mrs. Nunan, who handles the teaching of Public Speaking for the Lower School. Mrs. Nunan maintained her high record for success, shown in Christmas plays of the past six years, on this occasion. Nearly all Lower Schoolers had parts in the play. Prentice Hill played Scrooge; Bill Horn, the Ghost of the Past; George Strieker, the Ghost of the Present; Kingsley Murphy, the Ghost of the Future; and John Cowles, Marley's Ghost. Tom Fullerton played Bob Cratchit and Archie Spencer was Fred. The other Lower Schoolers represented townspeople or other such groups. The story is the familiar one of Scrooge, the penny-pinching old miser who is filled with the generous Christmas spirit by means of visitations by ghosts who show him pictures of his life in the past, present, and future. The Glee Club, representing an old-fashioned choir, sang several numbers during the program to round out an extremely successful performance. THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: Brooks, Colvin, Gregg, Fink, Hanson Rich, Mackall, Naffziger, Williams D. Front row: Dinsmoor, Winton Cr., Asleson, Rotering, Martha, Heffelfinger P., Atwood, Nelson B., Kingman Absent: Lyman F. WAITERS Here at Blake one of the great privileges a boy may have is to wait on the tables at the noonday meal. Every year there is a long list of Sixth and Seventh Formers who apply for positions. This year the job has been carried out with the usual efficiency, although the war has brought difficulties here as in every other field. The Headwaiters this year were Sayer Rotering in the Lower School and Peavey Heffelfinger in the Upper School. Regular waiters receive their meals free of charge, or an equivalent cash payment, and the Headwaiters, with their added duties, receive twenty-five cents extra per day. A waiting list of substitute waiters is maintained to fill in for waiters who may be absent. Few students realize how much work goes into the preparation of each meal, for these activities are carried on behind the closed doors of the kitchen. Martha and the others are doing a fine job, with an efficiency for which every boy should be thankful. Special credit is due to Miss Berglund, who. as dietician and general supervisor, has had an unusually difficult task this year with wartime food rationing, and has carried it out very well. Miss Berglund's Choices for Best Waiters: Upper School..................................Bud Mackall Lower School...................................Jim Colvin O F FORTY-THREE MOTHERS' ASSOCIATION President....................................Mrs. Frederick Lyman Vice President................................Mrs. Clark Fletcher Treasurer...................................Mrs. Horace DeLaittre Secretary......................................Mrs. Robert Brooks A long established precedent at Blake School v as broken this year with very happy results. Instead ot the annual Parents' and Teachers' dinner, usually given in the spring, each form had its own entertainment and meeting, the Juniors and Seniors combining in one group. The formal dinner gave place to an informal Smorgasbord, the rationing problem at the most recent meeting being skillfully solved by Miss Berglund and completely disguised by the efficiency of Martha. The business meeting admitted more than the usual amount of pleasure, for the masters were called upon to give talks on subjects pertaining to scholastic matters, school activities, and athletics. These talks were constructive and enlightening, provoking discussion among parents who, in a larger group, might have been too timid to take part. At the Junior-Senior dinner, Mr. Alder explained in detail the prospects awaiting boys who become eighteen before January of their Senior year. He also outlined a plan of accelerated studies to enable these boys to enter college before being subject to the draft. Each year the Mother's association awards a part-scholarship to a deserving student to be used the ensuing year. This spring they voted a half-scholarship. The committee of the Junior School is composed of: President......................................Mrs. Shubel Owen Vice President...........................Mrs. Leonard Carpenter Secretary and Treasurer........................Mrs. Arnold Lowe In former years the annual meeting of the Junior School was held following an afternoon tea, but this year the committee decided to pattern after the form meetings of the Senior school. Mr. Zappe, head of the school, can be proud of a most successful year, but regret must mingle with satisfaction as his unusually large fifth grade of nineteen advances to the Senior school. May the loss be somewhat compensated for by the advent of a large and promising third grade! The Mother's Association wishes to thank Mr. Alder, the masters, and Miss Berglund for making their task such a simple and pleasant one. Katherine L. Brooks (Secretary). THE SHORT STORY CLUB Again this year the Short Story Club, under the direction of Mr. Glenn, continued to be one of the most popular extra-curricular activities open to Juniors and Seniors. Although gas rationing was expected to make the operation of the club much more difficult, it actually remained unchanged in every aspect. The meetings were held every other Sunday evening at the homes of members. This year David Naffziger, Roger Atwood, Arthur Dinsmoor, Glenn Brooks, and Sayer Rotering entertained the club at their houses, although many others volunteered as well. At each meeting three or four excellent stories were read by Mr. Glenn, followed by appetizing refreshments and a general discussion. The Club owes much thanks to Mr. Glenn for giving his time, and the twenty to twenty-five members who attended each meeting are proof of the great enjoyment that the boys from the upper two forms get from the Short Story Club.

The department affords the growing boy a chance to learn how to study, how to get along with other boys, and also how to get along with himself. Since Mr. Averill left the School to enter the Navy last fall, Mr. Bryan, who is in charge of the Boarding Department, and Mr. Wonson have been directing the program this past year.

The dance lasted from nine to one, and Bud Strawn and his band furnished the music. Favors were presented to the Seniors' girls. A Junior committee headed by Chuck Johnson made all arrangements. FOOTBALL DANCE On the 6th of November, the Annual Football Dance was held. The committee, made up of representatives of the 5th, 6th, 7th forms, obtained the sweet rhythms of Bud Strawn's Band. Because of the shortage of Coca-Cola, punch was served in the Trophy Room. The whole event proved to be very successful and will undoubtedly be looked forward to in the years to come. CHRISTMAS DANCE The Christmas Dance, which was sponsored by the Student Council, turned out to be a very great success. The committee, which was composed of the Senior members of the Council, secured the ever-popular music of Bud Strawn and his Band. Punch was served in the Trophy Room to provide the refreshments. In order to avoid the menace of gas-rationing, a street car was chartered to provide transportation. The proceeds were given to the Red Cross. The whole affair proved to be a good send-off for the winter vacation. SPRING DANCE The annual Spring Dance was held in the school library from 8:30 to 12:00 on Friday evening, April 30. A committee made up of Juniors obtained the music of Doug Williams' orchestra. To quench the thirst of the dancers punch was served in the Trophy Room. As usual, the dance was most successful. 1943 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Tomorrow evening, June 5, the Junior Class will honor the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Owing to the disastrous fire at the Woodhill Club, the place for the occasion has been switched to the new Woodhill headquarters at the former Wells estate where the increasingly popular orchestra of Bud Strawn will render the desired swing tunes. The committee is composed of the officers of the Junior Class. O F FORTY-THREE BLAKE IN WARTIME FIRST AID CLASS As was the case last year, a Red Cross First Aid class for the Juniors and Seniors was held during the Winter term. This year the class of fourteen members was under the direction of Mr. Danielson, and met on Tuesdays. The First Aid course requires a minimum of twenty hours of instruction for satisfactory completion, so the class work was divided into ten lessons of two hours each. The most important object of the First Aid course is education for the prevention of accidents and the resulting injuries; the knowledge of how to treat these various injuries is actually of lesser importance, since it is useful only in rare emergencies which in most all cases could be avoided by fulfillment of the first object. MORSE CODE CLASS The Morse Code class, instructed by Mr. Hodgkinson, is another wartime innovation at Blake, and an invaluable one. The class which began in February met on Thursdays and more than once a week whenever possible. The teaching of Morse Code serves a double purpose: it teaches the universal language, and is of great use to those who expect to be in the armed forces. The Army requires, almost without exception, that the Morse Code be learned by everybody, and, moreover, gives the trainee a very short time in which to learn it. Therefore anyone who can, on going into the Army, send ten code words a minute (the ultimate goal of the Blake course), has a decided advantage over others. WAR STAMPS AND BONDS During the past year the school has done its part in the national drive for War Stamps and Bonds by subscribing a total of $13,000 in Bonds and over $1500 in Stamps. At the beginning of the year a quota was set by the Student Council, who directed a bond rally in the Chapel during the national bond week and gained $2,000 in 15 minutes. WAR KIT DRIVE The school contributed 100% to the national campaign to purchase War Kits for men in the armed forces. From the Junior and Senior Departments a total of over 240 of these accessory sets, costing $1 each, were sent for distribution. THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: Mr. Glenn, Hanson Rich., Asst. Manager, MacMillan, Atwood. Bull. Robertson, Park, Hayes, Nelson B., Kingman W., Lowe, Mr. Smith, Fink (manager) Second row: Raines, Ross Hanson, Heffelfinger T., Nelson G.( Heffelfinger P., Gluek, Alexander, Nafteiger D., Woodrich Front row Lanpher, Gregg. Klass, Davis, Johnson, Bones, West, Brooks FOOTBALL The Blake football team this year enjoyed a season that looks only mediocre in the records. However, the records do not tell the whole story. This year's eleven played opposition that was far tougher than that of previous years. While winning two games and losing three, the Brown and White piled up 48 points to their opponents' 28. Most of all, however, we are proud of this year's team for the courage and fight it always displayed, although many times it was outweighed and outmanned. Especially we will remember the fine leadership of its captain, Chuck Johnson, who was voted the Williams' Cup for being the outstanding player on the team. BLAKE-ANOKA, Cancelled The Bears were scheduled to open the season against a strong Anoka eleven. However, because of a heavy downpour, the game had to be called off. Since no other date for the game could be arranged, it had to be cancelled. The Hilltoppers' disappointment was great, for they had driven thirty miles to the game and had keenly anticipated the season's opener. BLAKE 26 —PILLSBURY 0 The Brown-clad eleven chalked up its first win of the 1942 season at the expense of an unexpectedly weak Pillsbury squad. The Blake team opened the scoring in the second period when Glenn Brooks intercepted a Pillsbury lateral and ran fifteen yards for a touchdown. After a scoreless third period Chuck Johnson scored two markers and Dick Lanpher one in the final canto. To round out a brilliant day Johnson also kicked two points after touchdown. In this game the line was sparked by newcomer Jack Alexander. BLAKE 0 —SOUTH 14 When Blake played South High School in the second game of the season, it was the first time in many years that a Brown and White eleven had engaged a city high school. Everybody expected the small Blake squad to be snowed under by 30 to 50 points—that is, everybody but the Bears themselves. Con- O F FORTY-THREE fident of victory the Tigers started out with a second-string combination. However. the South boys soon found out that the Blakesters were no soft touch. With Dix Asleson kicking superbly, the Southerners were losing five to ten yards on every exchange of punts. Seeing that his second team could not score on the Hilltoppers, Coach Les Barnard put in his first-string aggregation near the end of the first half. But even they, with the great Bill McMoore, could not penetrate the Blake line. Then in the third quarter fleet Wilbur Wilson took a double reverse on the Brown and White 25-yard line and ran the ball over for a score. Again in the fourth quarter Wilson scored on the same play, this time from the 35-yard line. McMoore kicked both points after the touchdowns. Although outweighed and lacking in reserves, the Blakesters overcame these disadvantages by their will to win. BLAKE 10 — SHATTUCK 0 Taking advantage of several costly fumbles by Shattuck, the Bears managed to spoil the Shads' homecoming, by eking out a 10-0 victory. After playing a scoreless opening period, the Brown and White broke the scoring ice in the second canto. The first of the Redmen's costly fumbles paved the way for this score. After recovering the fumble deep in Shattuck territory, the Bears advanced to the 5-yard line by dint of Johnson's pass to Naffziger. Then a few plays later Johnson stepped back and place-kicked the ball between the uprights to make the score 3-0. In the second half the Blakesters scored again. After recovering a Shad fumble on the Red and White's 18, the Bears advanced the ball to the 2-yard line. From there Bob Raines bucked over for the score. Chuck kicked the extra point to make the final score read 10-0. BLAKE 0 —CRETIN 7 In this next to last game of the campaign the Bears lost the most heartbreaking contest of the season. Holding the Raiders without a first down for more than three quarters, the Blakemen tired enough in the last moments of the game to allow the big St. Paul boys to push over a touchdown. During most of the game the Hilltoppers ran all around Cretin in the middle of the field. However, once they got within scoring distance, they failed to click. Chuck Johnson played the most outstanding game of his career as he consistently made yardage all afternoon. Again the whole Blake line, headed by Pete Heffelfinger and Bob Klass, turned in iron men performances. BLAKE 6 — S. P. A. 7 Again this year Blake Bears failed to break the jinx that S. P. A. has over them in football. After being held to a standstill by the Brown and White during the greater part of the first half, the boys in Blue and Gold broke away for a score on the last play of the second quarter. Bob Carley outraced the Blake secondary defense to take a pass in the end zone and make the score 6-0. Then Carley proceeded to kick the extra point which later meant the ball game. In the second half the Bears charged back to make a score also. Chuck Johnson intercepted an enemy pass in mid-field and raced all the way to the 2-yard marker before being brought down. Then two plays later he plunged over for the score. However, the try for the conversion was missed and the game ended with the score 7-6. THE CALL O 1 P A N CAPTAIN CHUCK JOHNSON A plunging fullback whose place kick against Shattuck and his 65-yard run against S.P.A. gave us all a thrill. PETE HEFFELFINGER An excellent tackle for four years. The best player on the field in the South High School game. ROSS HANSON Ross got his chance against Shattuck and was the best end on the field that day. GEORGE NELSON A letterman at end, George was switched to guard this year. He played good football in a new position. ED SCHLAMPP A starting end until he became ill. Played brilliant football against Robbinsdale. O F FORTY-THREE DAVE NAFFZIGER Dave improved from week to week and played excellent football against Shattuck and St. Paul Academy. BERNIE NELSON A rugged and fast halfback who is finishing one year too soon. Wish you were back for '43. FRED DAVIS A dependable guard in every game. The hardest worker on the squad. GLENN BROOKS Glenn played smart, aggressive football in every play. He should make a fine captain. JACK ALEXANDER An excellent defensive center. He will be a fine captain. STEVE WOODRICH Nice quarterbacking against Cretin, Steve. More about you next year. THE CALL O ’ P A N A fighting halfback who played splendid ball against South High. A real field general. His punting was unusually good all season. The starting right tackle in every game. Bob played good defensive football throughout the season. JOHN GREGG A rugged end. John had the hardest charge on the squad. Here's hoping he'll be back next year—we can certainly use him. BOB RAINES Although on the injury list most of the season, Bob's touchdown against Shattuck was the hardest driving play of the season. WALT BONES Walt improved rapidly.

THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: Mr. Strickland, Woodrich, Ritz, Brooks. Bryan, Raines, Ross Hanson, Strieker (Mgr.) Front row Asleson, Finch, Kingman W., Klass, Howard, Wyer HOCKEY The Brown and White puck team enjoyed only a mediocre season this Winter, in winning five and losing eight of the thirteen games played. This only fair showing can be laid to the fact that Goalie Klass and Defenseman Br an were ineligible part of the season, that Captain Bull and Dick Lanpher left school, and that a change of coaches had to occur in mid-season, as Gale Burton had to withdraw as coach. However, Mr. Strickland did an admirable job in taking over the coaching reins for the rest of the season. Kingman took Bull's place as acting captain. An early win over St. Paul Johnson, 3-1, was offset by a string of defeats to St. Paul Johnson, Cretin, Humboldt, and Washington, as the team hit a low ebb with losses of players. New spirit inspired the team in an exciting game against S. P. A., when a brilliant last-minute rally with quick scores by Ritz and Brooks all but pulled the game out of the fire from 4-0 to 4-3. The squad then enjoyed a winning streak of four straight games. Robbinsdale was squashed by the lopsided score of 16-0. St. Paul Central fell 5-2, the Shads were crushed 7-0, and Cretin was vanquished 1-0. The second S. P. A. game was a thriller to watch, but a heartbreaker to lose. Ahead 3-0 with three minutes to play, the Blakesters were hit by cruel luck. Two men were penalized simultaneously, then a third. In the remaining minutes the Academy boys did practically the impossible — scored three times to even the count. In the overtime they tallied again to nose out Blake 4-3. Fourteen letters were awarded at the annual banquet in conjunction with the swimming team. Glenn Brooks was awarded the Dartmouth trophy as the most valuable player. Next year's team should be excellent, with all of the line. Ritz, Brooks and Asleson, which scored 29 goals, returning. i O F FORTY-THREE Back row: King A.. Rotering. Wehmann, Gregg, Davis, Smith A. Front row: Mackall, Howe, Winton Cr. (manager), Mr. Hartmann (coach), Mr Warren. HeffeHinger, Cleveland SWIMMING As in past years the swimming team seemed headed for an undefeated season until ineligibility shattered these hopes. With Capt. Peavey HeffeHinger and John Gregg out of action the Bears proceeded to drop three out of their first four meets. St. Thomas downed the mermen in the opener, 38-28, and West triumphed 42-33 before the tankers could grab a victory from a mediocre Cretin outfit, 44-31. The only out-of-town meet of the season took place on January 30 when the Blakesters journeyed to Winona to find another defeat awaiting them. This time the score was Blake 32, Winona 34. Then the tide turned. From the Winona meet till the closing gun of the season, Captain Heffel-finger and his mates splashed victoriously through contest after contest to post a season's record of 9 wins and 3 losses. The Brown and White started to roll as they downed Mpls. Central 44-31 on February 6. The last meet of the season took place on March 6 at the Mpls. Club pool. When the spectators squeezed out of the steam-filled interior of the pool, they had witnessed Blake's first swimming victory over Shattuck in 10 years. Pete HeffeHinger closed his high school career by breaking the 100-yd. breast stroke record, being clocked at 1:11.5. At the Brown-White meet a few weeks later, HeffeHinger again succeeded in cracking another mark of long-standing. Racing against teammates King and Rotering, pacing Peavey's time was an unbelievable 2:28.0 in the grueling 220-yard distance go. All in all, Capt. HeffeHinger and his mates turned in an excellent record. After such a discouraging start, praise is also in order for Coach Johnny Hartmann and Faculty Superintendent Warren for pulling the team out of its slump At the Swimming dinner the Arthur Trophy went to Mackall and the Guy Thomas Trophy was awarded to Rotering. Lettermen HeffeHinger, Rotering, Davis and Mackall will be lost through graduation; but such stars as Crane Winton, Ab King, and John Gregg will bolster next year's squad. THE CALL O ’ P A N Back row: Mr. Wonson, Witham (Manager), West, Bones, Miller, Crosby C.. Hayes, Mr. Fallon Middle row Alexander, Woodrich, Asleson, Robertson, Naffziger D., Robert Raines, Brooks, Ritz Front row: Naffziger B., Finch, Yarger, Park BASEBALL Blake's baseball Bruins started out the '43 season with a bang as they shattered a mediocre West high club in a big third inning which found 10 Blake runs scampering across home plate. This splurge on the part of the Hilltoppers wiped out West's 3-run advantage and swept the Blakesters far out of the reach of the outclassed Cowboys. Brooks and Asleson starred on the mound for the Bruins, giving up only 6 hits. Gordon Ritz, diminutive second baseman, lashed out a triple in the third inning; but the batting star of the day was Pitcher Glenn Brooks, who helped to win his own ball game with his booming round tripper also in the third inning. After this opener, which was played on April 21, the Bruins settled down to practice for their next tilt with St. Thomas on the following Tuesday. All this training was of no avail, for the Tommies handily trounced the Blake outfit owing to eight costly errors on the part of Coach Wonson's diamond men. The final score read: Blake 0, St. Thomas 5. The game was played on a cold, dreary day; and, as a result, the hitting of both teams was weak. Dix Asleson pitched steady ball, allowing only six hits; but those miscues counted heavily against the Hilltoppers. The wearers of the Brown and White connected for only 4 bingles off two Tommy hurlers, and it was not until the seventh frame that a Blakester could whack out an extra base hit. Jack Alexander turned the trick with a screaming triple into right field. Although they outhit Cretin six to five, the Bears dropped their second consecutive game as the Raiders triumphed 6-4. The Bruins had butterfingers'' O F FORTY-THREE again, as they made 6 bobbles. The game was close throughout, with the count being knotted 4-4 at the start of the sixth frame. However, the St. Paul boys managed to push across two runs in the last half of the sixth, and then hold the Hilltoppers scoreless for the rest of the game. Ritz and Brooks pitched for Blake, giving up five hits between them. The Bears got back on the winning path in their fourth game, by tripping Concordia 7-4 on May 3. Jack Yarger made his debut on the mound and turned in a creditable four-hit performance. The Blakesters needed only five hits to win this game as 10 walks by the Concordia chuckers helped them to push the total to seven runs. The Brown and White nine lifted its head above the .500 mark May 5, when it battered Shattuck, 9-4. Glenn Brooks, although a bit wild in the second inning, really hit his stride with an amazing 1-hit job. The Bears again proceeded to kick the ball around in the infield as they were charged with 6 bobbles. Ritz continued to show power at the plate as he pasted out a single and a double, being walked the other two times he strode to the plate. As we go to press it looks as if the team will maintain its 500 average for the remainder of the season. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Although the Athletic Association has been more inactive than usual this year, Blake's sport activities have been well regulated. The budget allotments to the various teams were considerably less this year, although in view of the war, they were generally adequate. In the first of the two meetings of the year, it was suggested that letters be given to the members of the Junior Varsity. The motion was voted down. A resolution was passed in the second meeting to grant the swimming team money out of the general fund to make up its deficit. When Charlie Johnson, the President, left for the Army, his duties were taken over for the rest of the year by Glenn Brooks, Vice President. Chuck Johnson...................................President Glenn Brooks.........................................Vice President David Naffziger.................................Secretary Mr. Phillips.....................................Athletic Director THE CALL O ' P A N Kingman T Kingman W., Ross Hanson, Heffelfinger P.. Fullerton I., Crosby A., Donaldson, MacMillan C., Mr. Cleveland TENNIS In the pre-season dope the Blake tennis team was supposed to be fairly good. Now it appears that the prognosticators were right, for to date the net men have won four and lost four matches. The Blakesters opened the season unsuccessfully against Roosevelt on April 21. The score was 4-1, in the Teddies favor. The Brown and White won their first match of the season at the expense of St. Thomas six days later, 3-2. Donaldson and Chuck Kingman won singles matches, while the veteran doubles combination of Heffelfinger and Hanson took their opponents into camp, 6-2, 7-5. Cub Kingman was the third singles player, with Fullerton and Carleton the losing doubles team. The netmen won their second victory on April 30, by defeating Cretin 3-0 on the Cretin courts. Because of a lack of time only two singles and one doubles match were played. Scott Donaldson and Woody Kingman, playing in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots respectively, were victorious in straight sets. In the doubles contest Ross Hanson and Tom Kingman eked out a 2-6, 6-4, 8-6 triumph. The Blakesters were nosed out by Concordia, 3-2. The Blake victors were Tom Kingman in the singles and Fullerton and Crosby in the doubles. Again this year Shattuck held its mastery over Blake in tennis. May 5 the Shads nosed out the Brown and White team, 3-2. Donaldson was defeated by Eddy, 0-6, 1-6. However, in the other singles matches Blake split, Tom Kingman winning and Woody Kingman losing. The Hilltoppers won their only other contest when the combination of Donaldson and Woody Kingman took a doubles match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. The return match was a 11-1 victory for the Shads. The recent games included a decisive victory over St. Paul Academy, and 2 victories in return games with St. Thomas and Cretin. O F F O RTY-TH RE E BROWN AND WHITE After almost a whole decade without success the Browns have crashed through to victory this year. Under the leadership of Hughy Robertson, the Browns took an early lead over Pete Heff's Whites in the race for the coveted Leo Pflaum Trophy, by winning three out of the four football games last Fall. In swimming both the Upper and Lower School meets were undecided until the last event, when the Browns triumphed again. In basketball, too, the Browns won three out of the four games played. However, the Whites came through in the manly art of self-defense to win the trophy given by Percy Villa. At present the score is 341-190 for the Browns, although the Whites were favored in the baseball and track events. Thus in a close ending of the season's rivalry the Whites walked off with most of the honors in the track events to put them in shooting distance of victory. However, the Browns won the A baseball game and tied on the varsity, and so seem to be winner. JUNIOR VARSITY Despite the unfavorable transportation conditions, the second football team this Fall played through more games than any J. V. outfit in recent years. Captain Holmgren led the team through seven games: two with SPA, two with St. Louis Park, two with St. Thomas, and one with Hopkins. In these games Blake registered two wins and suffered five losses. Several of the latter might be called near misses” as the Brown and White's worst drubbing was 18 to 0 at the hands of the St. Thomas eleven. All the other contests were close and found the I. V. dropping some close ones. In the return game with St. Thomas, which was the little Bears' ” best performance, the Brown and White again bowed to their down-river opponents. The score of this thrill-packed contest was 7-6. Dropping a brace of games to the S. P. A. seconds and a lone one to St. Louis Park, Mr. Fallon's charges garnered their two wins off Hopkins and St. Louis Park. Although the season sounds bad, Coach Fallon uncovered some latent material that will stand the Varsity in good stead next year. Starting under the direction of Mr. Strickland the Junior Varsity hockey squad played one game with S. P. A. In spite of snow, wind, and thaw, which usually prevail on St. Paul's ice, the Blakesters emerged the victors of a 2 to 0 game. THE CALL O ’ P A N Richard Raines, McDonald. Rotering, Olsen, Mr. Glenn GOLF SEASON This year, for the first time in many years, the Blake golf team is enjoying an undefeated season. Up to the time of this writing the turfmen have a record of six victories and no defeats. At the start of the season the team had only one letterman, Capt. Sayer Rotering. However, Dick Olsen, who played for Wayzata last year, came out for the team and has proved to be a very valuable addition. In the first match Blake defeated St. Louis Park by the decisive score of 12-0. In their next match the Blakesters tripped the tough University High School team, 6%-51 2 Next the divot-diggers took on Wayzata, trouncing them also, 7V2-4 V2- In their fourth match of the season the Brown and White team triumphed over Shattuck for the first time since 1939. The score of the match was 8-4. In their next outing the golfmen defeated Wayzata again, this time by the score of 12-0. Cretin was the Hilltoppers next victim. With every member of the team shooting under 86, the golfers swamped their opponents, 9ty2-2� 2. Three matches are still to be played as we go to press, with U. High, Shattuck, and West. In the first six matches Rotering and Olsen alternated in one and two positions. Guy McDonald held down the number three spot, with Dick Raines rounding out the squad in the fourth position. Other members of the squad are John Childs, George Nelson, Ed Schlampp and Bob Fink. O F FORTY-THREE BOXING This year the Blake coaching staff was augmented by the arrival of Percy Villa, who took over the duty of teaching Blakesters how to box. The former cloak-room was turned into a makeshift gym for this new sport. Starting with a very small class of five or six boys, Mr. Villa gradually aroused the interest of many other students until at the end of the hockey season the gym was continually overcrowded with eager participants. The boxing crescendo was climaxed by a BROWN-WHITE intramural tournament during the last week of the Winter term. The Whites won the tournament and Peavey Heffelfinger, captain of the Whites, was presented by Mr. Villa with a trophy. This trophy will remain at the school, and the winning team of this annual event will have its name inscribed on the cup. Boxing has caught on in a big way at Blake, and it is anticipated that next year even greater interest will develop. BASKETBALL Basketball reached a new high at Blake under the able guidance of Mr. Lundholm, this year. A team of some six or seven boys, who daily battled the wintery blasts of the Field House to practice, played six games on the warm floors of the neighboring high schools. Although these games were with the second teams of these schools, it was a step in the right direction in making basketball a recognized sport at Blake. Three games were played with Southwest and one each with Hopkins, West, and Robbinsdale. The team won one game from West and one from Southwest, losing the other games. lack Alexander, Kingston Fletcher, and Rip West were consistently outstanding. The Blake team was under a great handicap because of its lack of substitutes. Next year with the added experience and with the expert coaching of Mr. Lundholm, the team ought to make a greatly improved showing. TRACK Blake's newest team got under way this Spring under the impetus of Ray Smith as coach. Having managed to inveigle some of the participants from Mr. Strickland's and Mr. Lundholm's softball, a good turnout materialized. Although war made any scheduled games impossible, Mr. Smith gave these aspirants all the fine points in such events as hurdling, high jumping, shot putting, broad jumping, pole vaulting, and the various dashes. In the annual Brown-White track meet, the season was culminated with a victory for the Browns. Mr. Wonson's and Mr. Phillip's A” Team Mr. Warren's and Mr. Runkle's B Team Mr. Edie's ”C Team'' COEFFICIENTS “A TEAM An outstanding year's record was displayed by the A team in football. An unusually heavy team sparked a victorious year with an undefeated, unscored upon season. Under Mr. Wonson's and Mr. Phillip's direction the “A team swamped S. P. A. two times, overpowered St. Phillips twice by large scores, defeated a large Edina team 6 to 0, and tied the J. V.'s 0 to 0 in a much disputed game. Using a T' formation, Chief took advantage of the team's speed and weight to comprise one of the strongest A teams in many years. Outstanding in the line-up were Captain Shorty Finch, a sturdy tackle; Jim Ward, a hard-hitting fullback, and Robby Struthers, a speed king. In the Winter the team was divided up mostly on the J. V. and the Lower School hockey teams. Three members, Finch, Howard and Wyer, played varsity hockey. A J. V. basketball team was comprised of mainly A teamers. B TEAM The B football team, under the able direction of Coaches Warren and Runkle, emerged from the Fall's battles the winner of six games out of seven. Sparked by Captain Jim Howard, the backs, including Crawford, Hartwell, Hyde, and Mason, efficiently executed the plays called by Quarterback Selover. The fast charging line, led by Schmitt and MacMillan, paved the way for both the aerial and running scores. Blake won the two S. P. A. games. 19-0 and 12-0. Kenwood bowed, 12-6, as did Hopkins, 6-0, 13-0, 6-0. The loss of backs hampered Blake when Fulton won narrowly, 6-3. Lower School Hockey didn't assume the proportions of previous years owing to transportation difficulties, but Fearless Fallon's Fighters soon became skilled under Mr. Fallon's expert tutelage. Only inter-squad games were held. C TEAM Mr. Edie's dire predictions of a poor team were more than overshot, for led by Captain Brown and Quarterback Heiner the boys of Death Valley won four out of five games. The four horsemen of the team were Crawford, Brown, Curtin, and Heiner, while the rugged line consisted of Owen and Palm at center; Cross, Ford, Horn, Krogness, and Pratt as guards; Atwater, Dwinnell, Hodgkinson, Webb, Stevens, and Wood as tackles; and Wetherby, Winston, and Groves snaring passes as ends. The two contests with S. P. A. were split, Blake winning 7-0 first and then losing 0-19. However, Edina bowed to the tune of 13-0; likewise Kenwood, 12-7; and the Scorpions, 18-0. Inter-squad games took the place of the annual S. P. A. hockey for Mr. Runkle's C hockey team, but the boys, including Atwater, Crawford, Curtin, Ford, Heiner, Hodgkinson, Krogness, Palm, Pattee, Pratt, Shiras, Stevens, Webb, and Winston were not denied a season of hard-played, well-coached hockey.
