Bev Peterson, known as iiPete to Middle School students, came to Blake in 1967 as a member of the Blake Junior School staff. Since that time she has been very active on many Blake Schoois' committees and has served as Middle School Arts Department Head for several years as well as on the Minnesota Arts Board. Always willing to help out, iiPete has helped students with make-up and scenery for school plays, accompanied students to the Art Institute and the Walker, helped chaperone Choristers on their tours as well as teaching art classes. As one student said, Pete: Weive dedicated this yearbook to you. But it's nothing compared to what you've given us. You're always there for us with a smile and encouraging words. Youive always tried to help us in any way you could. This is just our way of saying thanks.
