START K. ftvcV V� A fte$ TSOI .mqW32 )la. me im (DlNNcAPOllS pueuc LioaAav IN THE GAME OF LIFE . . . To start, spin the wheel. High number star ts first. Others take turns going clockwise. The banker gives each player a car with a pink or blue peg in it. Begin moving your car the number of spaces indicated Decide if you wish to take the shorter route to business, or whether you wish to take the University route and follow the longer way around. II you land on a yellow space, a reward or penalty is awarded. When you land in a white option space, you may choose to take advantage of this opportunity there or let it go. Each time you land in 01 pass a red pay day you will always collect the specified amount of your chosen profession .. Little thought and less courage are required to play the board game of LIFE. The winner gams a temporary sense of satisfaction: the loser walks away only mildly discouraged. In the real game of life, the stakes are higher and participation requires more than the spinning of a wheel. Sports practices, organizational meetings, and homework extend school life beyond the confines of the classroom. The sense of achievement gained from involvement in school activities is lasting and the commitment directs students in developing their own game strategies Minds are often boggled by complicated rules and inevitably many players may run themselves ragged before the contest ends. Careers are created through active participation in this never-ending game. The risk is yours to take. — 2 — . . . CAREERS ARE CREATED THROUGH Fame, fortune, happiness... the choice is yours in the game of careers. Collocting money at each red payday square and creating a secret success formula is an easy way to pursue a career. Yet in reality, fame and success are not so handily achieved. Career strategies are developed over a period of many years, beginning in high school where students pursue interests through various activities. Involvement In debate, high school bowl and other speech activities may later enhance a law or political career. The music program is a foundation upon which many aspiring performers can build. Publication staffs may give rise to editors and reporters of local or national publications. All facets of student life employ the many abilities of active participatns and develop talents which may be applied to numerous careers. NOUVdDLLHVd 3AIJLDV 8 . INEVITABLY PLAYERS MAY RUN Make quick decisions to meet each new challenge. Feel the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. Playing a board game is an easy escape from the real world; it demands neither courage nor personal involvement. Athletics can provide an escape from the daily classroom routine, but an emotional, mental and physical commitment is required in order to be successful. Participants can run themselves ragged. After a hectic day of classes and other activities, students sideline their academic concerns and concentrate for two solid hours on that big catch, that winning shot or that record-breaking time. (Physical exertion and mental concentration is hard work.) The pain of waking up after the first workout and the bruises to both body and ego suffered in competition give way to excitement and spirit. As a member of a team, each individual must learn to cooperate with others. The courage to take a risk is essential. The extra effort made in daily practices will not only lead to team improvement, bul also personal satisfaction. f ! THEMSELVES RAGGED 12 13 MINDS ARE OFTEN BOGGLED BY COMPLICATED RULES . . . Players race against time backward, forward and even diagonally around corners. It's a fast-moving, maddening game. As the game progresses, players are easily boggled by more rules as well as more options. Competitors may soon close the board in frustration and the game is shelved. Participants in the real game of life cannot quit as easily. Constant interaction between students and faculty makes the ability to deal with changing individual relationships indispensable. As educators, coaches, and advisors, faculty members encourage the development of individual talent and character. As a member of a unique class, each student finds a place for himself where he can make an impact as an individual. Freshmen learn to adjust to new surroundings and soon become aware of expectations and responsibilities. As academic pressures increase. Sophomores must apply themselves more intensively to their studies. Juniors assume leadership roles that will carry through the remaining two years of high school. The contact between different individuals adds a stimulating, everchanging dimension to the game of life. 16 THE RISK IS YOURS TO TAKE. No attempt has been made to teach strategy, as each player will develop his own as he becomes more familiar with the game. Decision-making is simple and the outcome is insignificant when playing the board game of LIFE. In the real world, stakes are higher, and a change of game strategy may be frightening. At this stage in the game of life a senior must make decisions — take risks that will determine the ccurse of the future. College visits, applications, and the tense waiting period can be a trying yet exciting experience. As a student becomes independent of high school commitments, he must face the consequences of previous decisions. Endless strategies are available to all particpants and only through time and experience does one learn which are the most successful. DEDICATED WITH AFFECTION TO RUSSELL E. HILLIARD Russell E. Hilliard is admired by all his students and colleagues as a true professional. He is a quiet, modest man who has dedicated the past thirty years to the Blake Schools. He involves himself in numerous activities, but is always willing to complete a task with proficiency and patience. Whatever responsibility he undertakes, he wants it completed with utmost perfection. In the classroom, his vitality and excitement encourage students not only to learn but also to appreciate the Spanish language. As anyone who has visited his classroom realizes, his travels to many Spanish-speaking countries has greatly enhanced the qualities of his teaching. He presently serves as the Chairman of the Foreign Language Department. Beyond the Blake community, his many years of work for the Blake chapter of the Cum Laude Society have been recognized in his appointment as a Regent for this national organization. To all. Mr. Hilliard is more than a teacher. He cares deeply about his work and his warm individuality reaches out to all. He Is always willing to give up his own time to aid those seeking both personal and academic attention. He is patient, tolerant of differences and willing to work for the benefit of others to make learning a much more valuable experience. As an educator, his ongoing faith in the abilities of all individuals builds esteem and self-confidence In his students. Out of our sincere respect, admiration and love, we dedicate the 1982 Reflections to Russell E. Hilliard. “CAREERS ARE CREATED THROUGH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THIS NEVER-ENDING GAME . . ai jijii “MAD WOMEN” EVOLVED INTO COFFEE HOUSE Although fame and stardom may be far down the road, the Blake Thespians displayed myriad talents in their efforts to promote theatre both in and out of the school community. The Thespians began the year with only twelve members, but that number increased to twenty-two after the fall production, The Madwoman of Chaillot. This play, with its excellent characterizations, exemplified the diverse talents of the Thespians this year. Actors acquired European accents needed for the production which was only one of many enhancing factors which resulted in both an interesting and entertaining production. The troupe, under the leadership of president Jim Weiss and vice-president Tadd Tuomie, welcomed back former Thespian Laura Sahr who co-directed this year’s productions with director Jeanne Blake. The school was kept informed of local theatre events through calendars on the Thespian bulletin board and money was raised through weekly donut sales. Through the hard work of all involved, the Thespians proved their ability to act well their parts both on and off the stage. 1. The cast of The Madwoman of Chaillot. 2. Bill Ogden as the evil Propector. 3. Wendy Pridgen accompanied by Maureen Conlln on the violin. 4. The Madwoman of Chaillot (Anna Goldstein) whose genius saves Paris from the Prospector. 5.

The club added new species of wildlife to its menagerie of animals throughout the year. Members plan to add aquariums and terrariums to different classrooms in the future years. INTERNATIONAL Traditionally the International Club has hosted the International Day and has raised money for the International flag. In addition to these activities. the 1981-2 International Club ran a very successful Hmong clothing drive in conjunction with the annual Phyllis Wheatley food drive.

Future plans hope to broaden cultural knowledge both in and outside the United States. 3. Debbie Thomas. Debbie Farber and Larey Ann Lindberg discuss present international iffairs. (3) HIGH SCHOOL BOWL Name the figure from Greek mythology ... What do Jessica Lange and Faye Raye have in common ... Is it the Heinsenberg Uncertainty principle, the Doppler Effect, or the Pauli Exclusion Principle.. After two weeks of rigorous quizzing eight senior trivia specialists became the 1981-82 High School Bowl Team. This year's squad headed into their first trivia contest under the promo Blake will freeze the White Bear Lake.” Blake led at halftime, but bowlers' quick reflexes deserted them during the second half and Blake lost the match to the other Bears” by one question. At that point the team decided to relinquish its amateur status and go professional. Good answer, good answer” greeted every bad guess and the bowlers of trivia had fun despite their loss. 1. The team hard at work — of course. 2. The wizard himself. International Club High School Bowl — 25 HOMECOMING 1981 Although winning did not turn out to be the order of the day, the spirit and enthusiasm surrounding Homecoming 1981 made it a grand success. The week’s festivities began with an original dress-up theme — Tropical Day. Students roamed the halls clad in Hawaiian shirts and beach thongs. Wednesday and Thursday were marked by the outrageous costumes of the ever-popular Sixties and Clash Days. Thursday night’s bonfire displayed the growing anticipation of the approaching athletic contests and Homecoming dance. Each class and team performed a skit, with themes ranging from The Frosh Predicament” to Faculty Feud. The winners of the girls’ hairy-leg contest and the boys’ beard-growing contest were chosen from a pack of fierce competitors. The program concluded with the announcement of the 1981 Homecoming Royalty. Scott Gillmer and Missy Everson were crowned King and Queen. Their attendants were seniors Rick Wall and Jane Myers, juniors Mark Mitchell and Emily Sahr, sophomores Shekkhar Sane and Katie Heegaard, and freshmen David Crosby and Rachel Ratner. The blaze of spirit generated by the bonfire was rekindled on Friday morning with a rousing pep-fest. Grrr Win and Bear it” proved to be an appropriate homecoming slogan for students dressed in school colors. Athletic events began in the middle of a downpour. Playing in the mud the football team lost a close decision to homecoming opponent Centennial. The soccer team splashed to a tie with Breck. Volleyball took the Chiefs to the last points of the last game before losing 2-1 to finish out the evening. Girls' swimming and tennis carried Blake to victory as these teams smashed their opponents. The flurry of activities came to a close on Saturday night at the Homecoming dance. Things That Fall Down provided a different beat for all in attendance. The dance was an exciting conclusion to a week of enthusiasm and fun. 26 — Homecoming DESPITE THE RAIN . . . (6) 1. Rachel's enthusiasm is undaunted. 2.

Ninety-five seniors loaded their sleeping bags aboard the two buses which would take them to Camp Warren and Senior Weekend. Contrary to tradition, the seniors enjoyed blue skies and beautiful weather; Camp Warren provided a perfect setting for the weekend. The class spent a small portion of their weekend doing “work projects” such as chopping wood and planting trees. In both small and large groups, they discussed their goals for the year and how to achieve a stronger sense of unity without losing the diversity that characterized their class. Each senior took part in two diads, a one-on-one exchange with another randomly chosen senior. The seniors also planned for Homecoming and the Senior-Nine program. During free time, seniors and faculty participated in canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, tennis, and volleyball. Organized activities including impromptu skits, square dancing, a mini-olympics, and a bonfire kept everyone busy. The seniors were transformed into the Blake Senior Class of 1982 at Camp Warren, and the weekend left them with some unforgettable memories of classmates and friends. (4) 1. Debbie and Mary in deep concentration. 2. Jon enjoys the Indian Summer. 3. A Class Picnic. 4. Mike and Ricky in pursuit of victory. 5. David and Carolyn share a smile. 30 — Senior Weekend NINETY-NINE AND NINES UNITE How do freshmen, inexperienced and confused, deal with the traumas of their initiation into academia? Under the benevolent guidance of the Class of '82. The senior-nine program proved once again that even such disparate groups as the seniors and freshmen can shed old prejudices and accept each other in a spirit of friendship and school unity. Here unfolds the thrilling tale: At 2 pm on Sunday, September 14, the seniors, entrenched at Camp Warren, were randomly allotted a freshman. Throughout the following week, each senior secretly bombarded his freshman with various gifts and messages. The mystery came to a close when the seniors’ distinctive articles of clothing allowed each freshman to identify his senior. The classes came together en force for a Bacchanalian feast at Lindsay Willette’s provincial seaside villa, where the freshmen proved equal to the seniors in sports competition but took a lesson from the veterans when it came to eating. The party was only the beginning of a year of friendship and comaraderie. (6) 1. Scott Gillmer takes some time to talk with his nine. 2. Cynthia Anderson and Smita Sane wonder about different activities. 3. Trey Mat-teson, the King. 4. Kingsley Taft becomes distracted from the volleyball game. 5. Jill Chessen anxiously awaits lunch. 6. Betsy Pearce shows her approval of the party with a grin. Senior-Nine — 31 DEBATERS SET STANDARDS What sane group would spend every Saturday and many Friday nights at rival schools arguing education policy? The answer is The Varsity Debate Team, arguing the 1981-82 resolution, that the federal government should establish minimum educational standards for elementary and secondary schools. The varsity team was characterized by youth and inexperience. With only two seniors and only three members with varsity experience, the team relied on its unprecedented size: twelve debaters, in contrast to last year's five. Cases ranged from sex education to literacy standards to inter-district busing. Although the team got off to a slow start in terms of wins and losses, the dedicated debaters developed logic and flair during the season and added their quota of varsity trophies to the collection. With a possibility of as many as ten returning varsity debaters next year, the team, which will establish itself in the new debate rooms, should argue its way to more wins than ever before. 1. Jason Myers takes a break. 2. Rich Danoff and Brian Hoffman debate a point. 3. Farzad Alvi. John Traub. and Fazil Riaz hide behind stacks of file boxes — testimony to long hours of research. 4. Syd Rosen introduced Dawson to a future debater. 5. A debater's most valuable possession — his briefcase. (4) (5) 32 — Debate NEW-WING DEMANDS DEDICATION The 1981-82 school year marked the beginning of the construction of a new wing and the renovation of the current building at the Upper School campus. This created several new problems that the Forum had to deal with in addition to those that the organization normally handles. The Forum worked on several issues concerning parking. The end result was the utilization of the Parade Stadium Parking Lot for students and faculty members. The Forum sponsored the merger of the newly organized Fun Club and the Social Committee. Forum initiated the Open House, implemented the “buddy system for the new students, and again this year, staged the Activities Assembly. All in all, the Forum acted wisely and efficiently on both the expected and the unexpected problems of the year. The Forum facilitated the positive climate of education that was present in the school throughout the year. 1. Ric Mellum and Ricky Hartfiel. co-chairpersons of Forum listen intently to discussion. 2. Alison Townley — Forum Treasurer ponders deeply. 3. Barbara Stock expresses her opinion about a current issue. 4. Mr. Knudson in deep concentration. 5. David Crosby questioning the topic of conversation. Forum — 33 CREATIVITY FLASHES Flash began the year with an inexperienced staff, but along with inexperience came creativity. Creativity, at times approaching the bizarre, was the • staple of the literary magazine and the foundation of the staff’s humor and enthusiasm. Flash moved on this year to bigger and better things; namely, a larger format than ever before. The new size opened up original layout options and allowed the magazine to feature three spectacular covers. Led by benevolent dictator-editor Jay Larson and faculty advisor Jane Rice. Flash again performed admirably on its quest to provoke thought and inspire creativity. This was the last year that Flash will occupy its third-floor quarters. Flash will have to pull up its stakes when renovation obliterates the current Flash room. Some of the posters on the walls and doors date back to the primeval origins of Flash itself. In the files and on the shelves, untouched for three years, are stacked magazines, poems, stories, essays, photographs, and drawings from years now forgotten. The room has always had a distinct influence on the staff and the magazine they produce; this year's spring issue was the last in a long and glorious series. 1. Staff members. Jane. Brad and Kristen work on their themes. 2. Chuck. John and Jay put together a layout. 3. Tom diligently ponders over his page. 4. Jay and Eliza debate a layout. 34 — Flash NEW AGENT UNITES UNIQUE ESPRIT The Agent: Spectrum's most distinguished reported. The Setting: The third floor newspaper pub. The Assignment: Discover what made the 1981-2 Spectrum Staff tick. The Report: Wit. intelligence, talent, meaning — qualities for which any newspaper staff strives. The 1981-82 Spectrum Staff worked hard to acheive this standard while maintaining unity and organization. Editor-in-chief Melissa Allen and Managing Editor Natalie Mead decided to change the types and logo of Spectrum to give the paper a flashier, more updated, less serious look. The editorial staff placed greater emphasis on the photogrtaphic and artistic aspect of the newspaper, experimenting with new graphic approaches such as using silhouettes of subjects. The tight organization of Spectrum allowed unusual adjournment of meetings before 1 A.M. The group learned to work closely together as they labored through months and months of beats, copy and post-up meetings. A corps of loyal junior page editors will provide continuity for next years' newspaper. Conclusion: Dedication, unity, and a unique esprit are the creed of the 1981-82 Spectrum Staff. 1. Amy McGovern types copy for the next issue. 2. Mari Tankenoff and Sue Lieberman check over the paste-up sheets. 3. Editor-In-Chief. Melissa Allen, looks over an article in a past issue of the newspaper with Anna Goldstein. (2) (3) Spectrum — 35 REFLECTIONERS RISK TRADITION Countless creative and innovative ideas were discussed and pondered over in hopes of making this year’s Reflections one of utmost quality. Time and circumstances proved to be limiting factors for this year’s dedicated and determined staff, yet any seeming obstacle was rendered only temporary as every deadline was met with care and efficiency. Enjoyment, excitement and insanity, of course, will be remembered as much as the frustrations and difficulties. The Reflections staff will remember this year’s experiences as being educational, enjoyable and fun. 1. Laura, the Chief, sits at her desk issuing orders. 2. Jay — a most Invaluable assistant. 3. Amy looks up from what she wishes were her last layout. 4. Missy carefully finishes a final layout. 5. Sydney and Dan express their most Ingenuous ideas. 6. Jenny concentrates deeply. — Reflections KISSING-ELVES DELIVER PRIMARY PROFIT The 1981-82 Minneapolis Cricket Club proved to have more pressing matters at hand than entomology, the serious business of raising money and having fun. A core of dedicated cricketeers worked hard to improve the financial resources of other school organizations. The M.C.C. successfully sponsored Homecoming activities and Kissing Elf Cards. The group displayed unequaled enthusiasm and energy in its efforts to get rich quick. 1. Natalie Mead as vice-president coordinates MCC’s many functions. 2. Wade Clarke, the president. delivers a kissing elf card. 3. Wade Clarke and Missy Everson discuss business. YOUTH ADDS DEPTH AND BOLSTERS Although essentially a rebuilding year for most of the Upper School music groups, the Blake singers surprised everyone by the degree of excellence they achieved. Under the leadership of music director Ginny Claessens and accompanist Severin Behnen, the groups displayed their skills for the school at the Talent Show, the Winter Concert, and the Spring Concert. Of all the 1981-82 music groups, Glee Club has the highest proportion of freshmen. The group of 22 singers journeyed to Milwaukee in February. The Glee Club’s favorite numbers this year included “5 Foot 2” and ‘‘16 Tons. By putting in long hours of practice the Blaker's Dozen, with nine new members, quickly established a diverse repertoire. In addition to their new selections, the Dozen retained some old favorites including ‘‘Christmas Song” and Get Around. Although Women’s Chorus lost a number of juniors and seniors to Concert Choir, freshmen singers upheld the young group’s honor and integrity. The group added diversity to their program this year with songs in Hebrew, Latin, and French. Because so few of All That Jazz members had worked together before this year, the group did not choose a president, leaving the door open for individual initiative. The group jazzed up” concerts with their renditions of Winter Wonderland and the traditional Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” Concert Choir contained an experienced core of upperclassmen. The singers invaded Chicago for the annual choir trip and proved that enthusiasm is as important as talent in the business of making music. An expanded Mixed Company performed a variety of community concerts, including a special appearance at the Governor's Mansion. The group’s special numbers included a medley from the Boradway hit They’re playing Our Song and the Manhatten Transfer’s Boy From New York City.” 1. Allison Capen in concert. 2. Jazz member Amy Myers. 3. David Warner. Adam Chase. Cynthia Anderson, and Karin Swanson at an early, early Mixed Company rehearsal. 4. Sopranos Missy Everson, Jill Skramstad, and Smita Sane. 5. Glee Club members pose for a picture. 6. Women's Chorus alto Margaret Truesdell. 7. Chorus rehearses a Brahm s piece. 8. Bill Heiam relaxes after a concert. 38 — Music Groups ALL GROUPS - LARGE AND SMALL (7) (8) Music Groups — 39 40 — Talent Revue DIVERSITY BREEDS ENTHUSIASM AND SUCCESS One night a year the closet singers, dancers, musicians, and entertainers come out of the Upper School woodwork to perform. Just as images of madwomen and Paris began to fade, the 1981 Talent Revue proved again that talent abounds at Blake, among both individuals and established singing groups. The Talent Revue is the debut each year of the Upper School's six singing groups: Women's Chorus, Glee Club, Concert Choir, All That Jazz, Blaker’s Dozen, and Mixed Company. Music director Ginny Claessens put together a diverse, musical program with works ranging from a bass and saxophone piece to Mixed Comapny's medley of songs from the Broadway hit, They're Playing Our Song. Almost two dozen individual acts filled the evening’s entertainment. Highlights included a romantic rendition of “You don't Bring Me Flowers by Mari Tankenoff and Adam Chase, and a ballet performance by Nutcracker Suite lead, Elizabeth Simonson. Anna Goldstein and Yolanda Cox debuted with dramatic readings. Although veteran reviewers missed Brad Klein’s “Le French Chef, his filmed news broadcast proved equally entertaining. Careful organization as always proved essential. Performers rehearsed each evening during the week before the revue. M.C.s Kathryn Humphrey, Amy Taft, Brad Klein, and Bill Ogden displayed talent of their own as they kept the program running smoothly ... The most important ingredients in a successful talent show are talent and enthusiasm, and the 1981 Talent Revue reminded everyone that even in Blake’s studious atmosphere, talent and creativity thrive. 1. Maureen s violin playing added a very special touch to a diverse program. 2. Cynthia and Emily mimicking for mother. 3. Scott jams for the annual band. 4. Smita and Jill harmonize under the direction of Ginny Claessens. 5. The choir boys upholding their infamous reputation. 6. Jazz swings to the tune. 7. Wendy sings her FAMED duet. 8. Adam Chase solos — just like a ROSE. (7) Talent Revue — 41 EARS, EARS, EARS EARS, EARS, EARS... Fads come and go. Throughout the years, nobody can forget those in-things that seemed so wonderful and that now seem so ridiculously outrageous. Feathered hair, disco. Cheapskate Rollerskating Center, mood rings. Kiss, clogs, Calvin Kleins — all have been remembered and easily forgotten. As the saying goes. Out of sight, out of mind. Yet, for a recent fad, once In sight, always in sight. Once an ear is pierced, it will always be pierced. The ear piercing fad began with the traditional one-hole-in-one-ear design, for girls alone. As time went on, those daring and outrageous ones pierced one ear twice which ultimately led to more holes in both ears. It is not unusual to see as many as four or five holes in both ears, some of which are in the top of the lobe rather than the bottom. As more and more girls became obsesses with an increased number of holes, the boys soon became interested and began with the one-hole-in-one-ear design. Some are seen wearing two or more in one lobe, yet the most style for males remains to be one earring in one ear. The dangling, shiny gold and metallic earrings seem to be the most favorable style, with several extra fans, feathers and frills added for creativity. A year from now, students may not be seen with any earrings at all; fads cannot be predicted. Yet, whether or not the style itself continues fashionable remains unimportant. It — unlike others — will always be remembered by a small hole which will definitely not render itself invisible when the fad goes out of style. Ears — 43 WALK-PEOPLE INVADE THE HALLS The 1981-82 school year found an addition to the list of student accessories. Along with the traditional books, folders, pencils, and calculators, a large portion of the student body couldn’t get through the school day without being plugged into their “walkman. These portable stereo-cassette decks have become the most popular electronic gadget around. All of the large stereo-electronic corporations are now producing them. Judging by the number of these decks at Blake, the men at Sony, Panasonic. Aiwa, and Toshiba will be living comfortably for some time. The “walkman must have been the most popular Christmas and Chanukah present of the year. As the students returned from winter break, about a quarter of them were now tuned into their favorite groups during free-time and between classes. The quiet study room has been transformed into the music-appreciation room as the quietest students are those with headsets. The walkman isn't only popular at Blake, it has become the favorite of joggers, bicyclists, and students everywhere. The favorite argument for those who want one has become everyone else has one! Sonl-Walkmen — 45 COMMUNITY ENDEAVORS YIELD It is very easy for Blake students to become involved with strickly school oriented activities. Sports, academics and extra-curricular activities provide excitement, competition and companionship which enhances personal growth and self-satisfaction. For many students, similar opportunities arise outside of the Blake community. Student involvement within the community is readily seen in local youth groups, musical programs, theatrical productions. volunteer committees and political campaigns. The following pages recognize five individuals who have contributed to the community in a unique manner; these individuals are only selected examples and by no means accurately reflect the countless activities pursued by the diversity of four hundred individual students. 1. Traci Telander works at Dakota County's Children’s Home, a residential home for the multiple handicapped and the mentally retarded. She has worked there for the past six years and has recently developed special programs that are designed to work individually with children to increase speech and communications skills. 2. Debbie Rap-paport has been involved with the Temple Israel Youth Organization for the past three years and served as President during her junior year. 3. Deirdre Bell has played the harp seriously for 8 years. She practices at the Macphail Annex and performs in concert at both the O'Shaunessy Auditorium and Orchestra Hall. 4. David Crosby has played the cello seriously for 5 years and has been an avid participant in the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony. 5. Eric Dise has been an active volunteer at the Martin Luther King Park for four years. He has helped proctor children on the playground and has coached both softball and football for little league competitors. 46 — Community Involvement SATISFIED CUSTOMERS (5) Community Involvement — 47 CONCERT CHOIR First Row: S.

Sports - 55 FOOTBALL PASSES THROUGH (3) As the 1981 Varsity football team assembled for its summer practices, it became evident that the team could not rely on over-powering its opponents with size. Rather, enthusiasm and spirit would have to be the driving forces if the team was to be successful. The team started off the season on the right foot by tying DeLaSalle and defeating arch rival SPA, coming from behind in both games. Just when the team thought that the Homecoming mud-fest victory was in the bag. Centennial managed a 20-14 victory in the closing seconds of the game. Despite the losses, this team didn’t know how to give up as they rallied to near-victory in many games. Head coach John Bouf-ford, along with assistants Haven Lucas, Bob Smith, and Tom Palm, kept team morale high and the season in perspective. They convinced the team that the success by this year’s team is measured by the effort given by each participant and not by the numbers in the win-loss column. 1. Scott and Wade block on defense. 2. Rammer slams down some water. 3. Gillmer follows the wedge. 4. Set. Hut 1... 5. Mac kicks the ball through. 6.

Although the season was not successful on the scoreboard, enthusiasm and hard work led to improvement and enjoyment. Returning lettermen will bring experience and talent to next year’s squad. 1.

(6) Volleyball — 59 RUNNERS RUN RAGGED The Varsity Cross-Country Running Team proved once again that hard work pays off in the long run. Continuing what has become a Blake tradition, the boys’ team swept the Tri-Metro Conference with a perfect 4-0 conference record under the direction of coach Clem Opatz and the team’s top runners — senior co-captains John Bailey and Peter Strang. The boys’ second place finish at the district meet led the team to a sixth-place finish at the Region meet. With only three returning runners, 1981 was expected to be a season of transition for the girls’ cross-country team. Surprising all competitors, the team roared back from last year's fifth place finish in the Tri-Metro Conference to earn second place. Junior Captain Leslie Hale received allconference honors. The team’s strongest performance of the season, a third-place finish at the division meet, made the 1981 team the first girls’ cross-country team ever to qualify for the region meet. 60 — X-C Running Ill (9) 1.

X-C Running — 61 62 — Tennis TENNIS TRIUMPHS TO STATE Continuing a tradition of excellence, the Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team swept the Tri-Metro Conference with a record of 8-0 and placed third at the state tournament. Under coaches John Hatch and Darrel McAnnany, an unprecedented six players received all-conference honors. The team composed of Mimi Mackay, Smita Sane, Anne Webster, Catherine Owens, and Kelly Adams and led by co-captains Mary deLaittre and Carolyn Lowe, represented Blake in the region and state competition. In the semi-finals of the state tournament, Blake lost to perennial champions SPA, despite Mimi Mackay’s smashing victory over two-time state champion Lisa Martin in the team competition. Blake proved unbeatable in team competitions as the number one doubles combination of Anne Webster and Kelly Adams upset the region champions to take first in state. Though the team will miss its seniors, the return of several experienced underclassmen promises another winning season next year. 1. The team displays their trophy. 2. Mary DeLaittre follows through on a backhand shot. 3. Lucy Nelson keeps her eye on the ball. 4. Smita Sane perfects her form. 5. Mimi MacKay sends an overhead smash to her opponent. 6. Ann Webster concentrates on the strategy of her return. (5) Tennis — 63 EXPECTATIONS ARE OUTPLAYED The Blake 1981 Varsity Soccer Team, led by co-captains Ricky Hartfiel and Brian Cox. may have exceeded all but its own expectations. The team finished third in one of the toughest conferences in the state and advanced to the semifinals of the region tournament. The young team, consisting of seven seniors, six juniors, and six sophomores, improved and gained confidence in themselves early in the year. The Bears started the year on the right foot with a 2-0 victory over arch-rival SPA, launching them into a ninth place ranking in state. Other highlights included a last minute victory over St. Thomas, a 10-0 thrashing of Brady, and a 5-1 regional win over Eisenhower. Despite some close mid-season losses, the team kept a positive attitude and came back to clinch third place on the last day of the season. With twelve returning lettermen next year, expectations will be just as high. (3) 64 — Soccer (7) 1. Sparky explains some fundamentals. 2. Card lunges for the header. 3. Smile Tim! 4.

Soccer — 65 COMMITMENT CARRIES INNER-CITY CHAMPS TO REGIONS The Blake Girls' 1981 Swim Team found the ultimate recipe for success. Its ingredients are thirty dedicated girls, two hard-working coaches, a pair of faithful managers, and an abundance of enthusiasm. This year’s team had exceptionally strong performances throughout the season, earning the title of “Inner-City Champs.” More success came with the first annual Blake Invitational. and the Bears left their mark on the Region VIII championships. Much of the credit for the team’s success goes to the help of ‘Marco Dearest,' and the commitment of all involved in making this a successful season. 1. Kan Nilsen sails through the air. 2.

Beginning in the mid-August heat and continuing through the winter’s record-breaking cold and snow, the squads worked to build school spirit while performing together in disciplined units. The fall cheerleading squad expanded their schedule to cheer at swimming and volleyball matches as well as at football and soccer games. The enthusiasm the cheerleaders created at pepfests, games and the Homecoming Bonfire inspired the teams to success and sparked school spirit among the whole student body. The hockey cheerleading squads, supporting outstanding teams, employed innovative techniques to incorporate the new male rousers, Brad Klein and Finn-Olaf Jones, into their cheers. Cold and windy practices at Lake of the Isles and sub-zero ice rinks added a touch of adventure to the season. The basketball cheerleading squads livened up basketball games with their rousing cheers. The squads were made up of all new, inexperienced members. The cheerleaders practiced hard and finished the season in a much improved state. 1. First Row: S. Heithotf, M. Everson — capt., S. Hamm Second Row: T. Kuller Third Row: E. Sahr Fourth Row: B.

Under the direction of coaches Ric Mellum and Gordon Ritz and a core of veteran senior members, the team earned a reputation for fast skating, accurate passing and non-stop scoring. Both coaches and players worked hard to develop a victorious squad both at home and on the road. The skaters demonstrated the results of this effort when they defeated highly rated White Bear Mariner. Their Conference title was threatened after an upset to Minnehaha, yet the threat proved only temporary. The following game proved both the mental and physical strength of the squad in what turned out to be a most eventful overtime game against Centennial; Blake defeated the Chiefs by a score of 3-2. Team unity and spirit played a vital role in the tremendously successful season and allowed the players to work together as a team with efficiency. enjoyment and above all, excitement. 1. ... and he ssscorrres! — Two-step Tuomie kicks up his skates In celebration. 2.

(4) (5) (6) Hockey — 71 UPPER HAND WON DESPITE INEXPERIENCE Giving the top teams a scare and losing to the mediocre ones; playing inspirationally at home and fighting the odds on the road; moving the ball well and fouling often; this was the frustrating story told by the 1981-82 Girls’ Basketball Team. The team played hard and scored heavily at times, yet the offense didn’t really find itself until mid-season. Co-captain Angie Gustavson achieved high scoring consistency. Each member of the team knew that they had the potential for a successful season. Junior captains Angie Gustavson and Amy McGovern led a team of one senior, five juniors, seven sophomores and two freshmen with confidence and expertise. The youth of the team caused some problems early in the season, yet their level of play progressed tremendously to yield much improved team play and team unity. The enthusiasm they displayed on and off the court brought success and helped the team gain the experience needed to get the points on the board. 1. The team awaits a foul shot. 2.

ENTHUSIASM GIVES EDGE TO THE EXPERIENCED The 1981-82 Boys’ Basketball Team displayed their enthusiasm and willingness to work right from the start. The attendance at the optional pre-season practices was the best ever and the attitude of the players positive. Coaches Rollie and Steve Johnson commented that the team was the most coachable they had ever had. Although the Bouncing Bears” had a slow start with seven losses, the team didn't fall apart emotionally. They refused to roll over and die,” and always maintained their positive attitudes under co-captain Eric Dise and Wade Clarke. The team’s fortunes improved in the second half of the season with several victories and some very close losses. Because the team had a large number of underclassmen with varsity experience and the J.V. Team was very strong, the future looks bright for them. 1. Wade Clarke throws the ball to a teammate. 2. Mark Mitchell places a precise shot. 3. The team in action. 4. Setting up for a foul shot, Blake catches their breath. 5. Eric Dise watches the play. 6. Wade Clarke goes up for a jump ball. 7.

Although the team's conference record was not as good as they might have wished it to be, the gymnasts worked hard. Their routines reflected their improvement, as they earned high point scores consistently in competition. Unfortunately, the season was spotted with injuries moving several key gymnasts off the equipment for a period of time. The gymnastics team was young; only three seniors will be leaving this year. The gymnasts look forward to continuing success and achievement. Jim Rasmussen and Julie Picha served as excellent coaches, leading the team to many victories. Giggles and good times along with plain hard work contributed to the positive, winning attitude which characterized the 1981-82 Blake Girls’ Gymnastics Team. 1.

(7) Gymnastics — 77 78 — Boys’ Swimming ADVENTURE AND ATTITUDE ATTRACT SUCCESS The 1981-82 Boys’ Swim Team encountered its fair share of successes as well as a number of surprises. The first surprises were the training ideas of new coach Paul Angell: 6:00 a.m. practices and 300 sit-ups a day; the team had other ideas. Due to the loss of last year’s eight seniors, juniors formed the backbone of this year's team. The traditional 24-hour swim marathon kicked off the season (including such fringe benefits as hot tubs, co-ed polo games, a video nuke-center, and kitchenettes). Speedo-clad pretty boys attracted record female crowds at each meet. Better-forgotten highlights of the season included a broken chlorinator that turned the pool into a mutant algae farm. Diving coach Pat Costello trained a team of five young divers through a very accomplished season. Although the team was small, extra effort on the parts of coaches, swimmers and divers made the 1981-82 season exciting, successful and fun. 1. A powerful start. 2. Jeff Harrison catches a quick breath. 3. Paul Siegel in a flip mid-air. 4. Happy Cloutier records the results. 5. Swimmers relax between events. 6. Team members discuss the race. 7.

I7 Boys' Swimming — 79 80 - X-C Skiing SNOW ABUNDANCE SERVES (9) TO TRAIN The 1981-82 season was a tough and often unsteady one for the Blake Cross-Country ski team. Plagued by questions and doubts regarding the placement of priorities, the team began the season slowly, yet had great potential. The competitive season began early in December with the team participating in the Hopkins Holiday Relays and Christmas Camp at Dan's later in the month. Competition continued through the chill of January, culminating at the Regional Meet. The team had hopes to beat their rivals yet waxing and equipment problems erased the team’s aspirations. Throughout the season, the skiers had to brave the frequent blizzards and double-digit negative temperatures, as well as the icy winds which spared no living creature. Yet the skiers lost no determination to win — a vital element of the philosophy of the cross-country skiers. 1. Cynthia Anderson receives encouraging words from Dan. 2. Bill Ogden conquers the course with vigor. 3. Katherine Wittenberg crosses the finish. 4. Chuck Mahoney in deep mind set. 5. Frank Heegaard takes a breather after the race. 6.

The expertise of coaches Bob Teslow and Tim Buckley brought tremendous improvement in both the boys’ and girls' teams. The Girls’ Varsity won the Section V meet after having been runner-up for the past three years and advanced on to place third in state. As well as qualifying as a team, captain Carolyn Lowe, Betsy Pearce. Andrea Wallack and Kim Whitehead qualified individually as state competitors. The Boys’ Varsity, with only one returning letterman, out-skiied expectations to place second in the Section V meet which qualified them as a team for the State meet. Captain Grant Yonehiro was the only individual qualifier. After a long day at Welch Village, the Boys’ Team finished seventh. Excitement, enthusiasm, unity and dedication characterizes this year's “Blue Wave’’ and have accounted for both an enjoyable and victorious season. 1.

The following pages give special recognition to the captains, the athletes who provide the spirit, energy, and talent that are vital to victory. Teams look to their captains for optimism and confidence when frustration threatens defeat. As athletes, captains are role models who encourage individual development. When competition runs players ragged, captains lift spirits and provide support and friendship for everyone. A tribute to our captains. 1. John Bailey, Tadd Tuomie and Ricky Hartfiel — Hockey tri-captains. 2. Ann Berglund — Captain of Varsity Football Cheerleading. 3. Amy Taft — Cocaptain of Gymnastics. 4.

Leslie Hale — Captain of X-C Running Captains — 95 ACTIVE ATHLETES ATTAIN ACHIEVEMENT The Blake Schools offers a wide variety of extra-curricular sports In which students can participate and compete. However, the student body is diverse and many individuals display their talents in sports not offered at Blake. Blake athletic requirements demand that students be involved in either competitive sports or physical education and thus for those athletes who pursue their respective interests outside of Blake, commitment and organization is important. Unfortunately the rest of the student body is rarely exposed to these individual achievements. These two pages recognize five Individuals who represent the many individuals who have athletically committed themselves outside of Blake. 1. Juan Chanco has competed In doubles figure skating contests for the past three years. He practices at the Augsburg arena and will soon begin individual competition because his sister and partner has recently resigned. 2. Jon Mork has played polo for the past five years and remains actively Involved in the United Polo Association. 3 5. Elizabeth Simonson has danced with the Minnesota Dance Theatre for five years and has danced in major productions such as the Nutcracker Fantasy 4. Chris Olson has skated as a member of the Minneapolis Figure Skating Club and as a representative of Parade Stadium for the past five years. She both competes seriously and helps instruct the younger skaters. 6. Julie Ebin rides competively on the Minnesota Hunter Jumper circuit and has been doing so for the past 7 years. 96 — Sports Feature I Boggle .

Freshmen unwillingly become the victims of the anxieties inherent in a school day. Teachers become easily fed up with the lack of experience displayed by the new upper-schoolers and can often be seen threatening helpless freshmen both before, during and after class. Hungry but lazy seniors pile lunch trays high with food and make freshmen cater their royal feasts. After a hearty meal, the fatigue of a long day sets in, and seniors are too tired to carry their books to the third floor. Once again, freshmen become prime targets for work details. Close behind trails a senior to remind freshmen of the consequences of refusal. A freshman, assigned five study halls a week, often spends this time doing his senior’s homework. When he finally escapes at 3:00, he will be fortunate to receive a ride to Hopkins from a benevolent upperclassman. Embarrassment is an integral part of the freshman experience. Receiving a kissing elf card from a senior girl in the lobby can be intensely humiliating. Peeking over the podium to announce freshman sports scores will intimidate even the boldest freshman. Freshman abuse remains only a one-year phenomenon. It in no way reflects upon the well-liked and well respected class of 1985, but is merely an inevitable phase of the high school experience. 126 — Freshman Feature Freshman Feature — 127 SOPHOMORES SUCCUMB TO DRIVERS DREAD Getting a driver's license is an ordeal that adds an element of tension to the sophomore year. The license is vital to fulfilling the Blake student's transportation needs, which often include driving to school, commuting between the Northrop and Blake campuses, and driving to evening activities, in addition to the road requirements of the all-important weekend social life. With a license comes mobility and a degree of Independence unknown to sophomores previously. The first step in getting a driver’s license is driver’s education, the intensely stimulating thirty hour course that allows one to take the written driver’s permit examination. The Minnesota drivers manual, a multitude of traffic accident horror films and quizzes on road signs make driver’s education a rewarding experience for all. The driver’s permit allows a prospective driver to practice road techniques with both parents and the behind-the-wheel instructor. The student driver designation on a car is a warning to all to keep their distance; inside sits a menacing instructor and an inexperienced student cowering behind the wheel. .The big event, the road test, approaches as a sophomore’s sixteenth birthday rolls around. Equipped with all the good luck his friends can provide, a student must perform almost to perfection — a score of 70% is required to pass — with the examiner in the passenger seat. Mistakes such as knocking over a parallel parking flag mean instant failure. If a well prepared student can stifle his nervousness, however, he will usually return to school an official drivers license in hand. Sophomores are notorious for parking horizontally in vertical spaces and for their rapid exits after school. By the end of the school year most have experienced one of the many traumas of the road: tickets, flat tires, fender benders and immobility due to snowdrifts. But the benefits of driving without question outweigh the costs — no more begging upperclassmen for rides to Hopkins and no more dates with a parent in the car. nD7 bo 128 — Sophomore Feature Sophomore Feature — 129 130 —Juniors IDUHAPI ’81 This year's junior class took class unity a step further with an unprecedented junior class trip to YMCA Camp Iduhapi. A turnout of seventy juniors made the junior weekend a tremendous success. The trip provided an opportunity for the juniors to relax and develop new friendships outside of the school environment. One of the highlights of the weekend was a sledding festival on Iduhapi's challenging sliding hill. The Juniors showed off their minibogan skills In singles and mixed doubles sledding competition. A number of snowball snipers kept the juniors alert and sharpened their skills for the all-out battle that must occur before any snow day is complete. After dinner and songs around a campfire, the juniors hit hit the dance floor In the lodge. Disc-jockeys John Pohlad and Marcelle Miller supplied stereo equipment and albums The dance lasted through five hours of intense fun. Even the parent and teacher chaperones enjoyed the music and were taught a few new steps by the wild and crazy junior dancers. The dance's grand finale was a whole-class performance of the Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Junior trip achieved the Class of ’83’s goal of greater unity and set the stage for a year of fun. school spirit, and enthusiastic money-raising. 1. Juniors do the Time Warp. 2. Bombs Away! 3.

No, you never get any fun Out of the things you haven’t done. But they are the things that I do not like to be amid. Because the suitable things you didn’t do give you a lot more trouble than the unsuitable things you did. The moral is that it is probably better not to sin at all, but if some kind of sin you must be pursuing.

This year’s theme was chosen in hopes to convey an important message about this never-ending game we call Life and to provide a creative base for an original and innovative yearbook. The staff did indeed take many risks. Changes from traditional themes and layouts reflected the staff's creative abilities and their determination to make this year's book an accurate reflection of the 1982 school year. Yearbook for all has been both a memorable and educating experience; it has taught us more about Blake, the people within it and. most importantly, more about ourselves. I would like to give special recognition to the following people whose support and dedication made this book possible: Mr. David Breeden for his patience and keen articulation as faculty advisor: Misty Everson and Amy Taft for their invaluable dependability and assistance; Mary Miley and Jeff Golden for their high quality photography and hard work; parents of staff members who put up with late night meetings; and the patrons and sponsors for their financial assistance.

Since the 1974 merger of Northrop, Blake, and Highcroft into The Blake Schools, there has been a need in the Upper School for expanded library, art, science, and athletic facilities. The Board of Trustees decided in 1978 to maintain the Northrop campus rather than constructing new Upper School buildings at the Hopkins campus. As a result, the Upper School facilities are being upgraded in a major renovation project that includes the construction of a new wing. The new wing will house science laboratories and classrooms on the first floor and a new library and audio visual facilities on the second floor. An expanded gymnasium equipped with new locker rooms, room, and a cross-country ski room will continue to occupy the basement of the existing structure. All existing art facilities will be expanded and renovated with new studios, practice rooms, and classrooms. The construction project kicked off with a ground-breaking ceremony in early November. Five hundred blue, green, and white announcement balloons sailed over the cities, and students were given souvenir pails and shovels to commemorate the occasion. Throughout the 1981-82 school year, students and faculty have been subjected to the earth-shattering thunder of jackhammers, cranes, and power shovels as they watched the hill behind the school become a cliff and the upper parking lot become a foundation. If all goes as scheduled, the 1982-83 school year will open with new doors at the Upper School. Closing — 189 BREAK NEW TRADITIONS 7 190 — Closing Northrop girls rollerskated on the roof in 1930.
