THE CALL O ’ P A N MR. 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.
