f 'S .5 xy l . I A I, 1 5' -3 -f 'Y ,I THE BLAZE HE Blaze is an informal organization of students who are drawn to ether b their ver differences its-si .. ,g 2 Y . of opinion, leading them into an unceasmg and 1 e L ever-stimulating warfare of ideas. A marked pen- chant for independent thinking is the only characteristic corn- mon to all members of the Blaze organization. But the Blaze exists, not in the atmosphere of Oxford, but in that of Antioch. It is therefore to be expected that the independent thinking of most Blaze members should be fused with a certain degree of moral purpose. Hence the dual function of their organization: to give solidarity to their cornpanionshipg and to create organs through which their ideas may receive a wider publicity. In its present form the Blaze organization consists of a directing and policy-forming council, and of five administra- tive departments, magazine, forum, bulletin-board, extramural contact, and business. It is of the magazine, however, that the Blaze group is especially proud. All colleges have their news- papers and joke-papers, and a few maintain literary or liberal journals of vacillating publication and still more vacillating standards. But as far as we know the Blaze is the only college periodical, appearing regularly, which publishes nothing but critical essays and creative Writing, imaginative as well as ideational. 147 D if , f .. tg Q Q

it THE TOWERS ' N 'ri-ns eighth edition of the Towers we have attempt- ed to depict life at Antioch in its various phases- flg, not so much as a record of specific events, but to 'I i' H create the atmosphere of the many student activi- ties by suggesting the essence of these occasions. By this means the editors have attempted to give a more satisfactory and com- prehensive scope to the portrayal of the Antioch scene. William Wahl is editor-in-chief of this yearls publication. The page art heads were done by Mr. Armsby Tod Hart, a prominent artist of the Northwest. Much of the enthusiasm of this yearls staff was due to the splendid cooperation of this artist. The staff included Iames Earley and Eugene Nelson, Sports Departmentg Opal Davis, Social Departmentg Gwen- dolyn Iones, Organizationsg john Gracie and Betty Bachrach, Literaryg and Oscar Swanson, Art. Robert Baldwin was Busi- ness Manager with Robert Tracy, Roland Shackford, and Davis Frank as his assistants. Earl Fisher was Circulation Manager and Stewart Cramer, Advertising Manager. Herman Schnurer and Charles F. Foster were the faculty advisors. The photography is the work of Axel Bahnsen. 149
