T h o u g h somewhat irregular, the class of 1915 has always contained a lively, energetic bunch of fellows with the best of school spirit. A few of our present class enjoyed the good old times at 1803 and never tire telling ot their revels and raids on the kitchen, made at that place. Freshman year passed pleasantly with its football, basketball and baseball and 1915 was well represented on all three teams. In 1912 we moved to our fine new school near Hopkins with glad hearts after an extra long vacation, and there our numbers were increased by several new members. hootball was welcomed and Warner. Barnes. Jaffray. Nickels, Moore and Mitchell supplied half our 1912 team. In the winter Captain Puffer. Warner. Mitchell and the Jaffrays composed most of our hockey team. The spring of 1913 stepped in with its baseball and tennis. 1 he successful baseball team of that year was materially strengthened by Captain Jaffray. Puffer. Nickels. J. Lewis, MacMillan and Mcore. This team defeated Fast High and Central, the city champions, largely through the work of these men and the pitching of Nick. The approach of cur spring and college exams turned our minds from athletics to more serious things, and when these were passed or rather over with, we departed from the school on the hill with the expectations of cur Junior year before us. MR. J. M. THOMPSON. Facul.y Adviser Page 16 sx 1 ho fall of 1913 saw us back at school with fewer old members but with the same old ‘ pep’’ which has always predominated with 1913. For a while the class looked a trifle meagre, but Pctterson stepped down from Princeton. Minn., and our handsome president 1 hayer returned from his summer at Fergus Falls, where he had been engaging in a little farming. G. Lewis, Harrison and Williamson also were let in after a careful inspection. Football again called us and 1915 was well represented by Moore, Puffer. Harrison. Warner, and Petterson. We organized for the first time as a class and elected Moore as our president and Stowell as secretary. Wc numbered seventeen at that time, the highest enrollment the class has ever had. Football over, the basketball team organized and chose Joe Moore for their captain. I he same man captained our class team, which put up a good, bloody fight with the seniors for the class championship. Along in the first part of April we started baseball at school and the 1914 team was greatly strengthened by the playing of Pufler and Petterson of our class. 1 ennis also called some, and 'Thayer. Warner and Williamson played on our team. Exams and vacation again took a prominent place and we left school with the aspiration of our senior year standing before our eyes. In 1914 we came back sorry that this year was to be our last. It took us some time to fall into our dignified senioric position but at length we settled down and elected Francis Thayer, president; G. Petterson. vice president: Russ Powers, secretary, and Bruce Puffer, treasurer. Football again came to the front and 1915 took a prominent part in the ictories of Blake’s most successful team. Nineteen fifteen men on the team were: Captain Moore, Barnes, Harrison, Petterson. I hayer, Warner. MacDonald and Williamson. These men, though not all individual stars, played conscientious and steady football. Through the patient coaching of Mr. ‘‘Mac.’’ Pillsbury. our old and ablest rival, was beaten and we feel mighty proud when we see that little pigskin with Blake 20, Pillsbury 10. on it. Winter soon came with its hockey and basketball and we were represented on Captain Puffer’s hockey team which defeated West High, the city champions. Basketball brought much class rivalry; 1915 at the end of the season was tied with 1916 for first honors but an extra hard game gave the banner to the Juniors. About this time the Senior Council was organized, which had for its purpose, to enforce the school regulations and get at the evils around school which would be rather difficult for the faculty to handle. This council has been very successful and such things as smoking, profanity, gambling, etc., have been practically eradicated through its effectiveness. Easter vacation came and passed and baseball began. Things look bright for thn season and with our material and coaching we hope for the best of results. The year is drawing to a close and we all regret to think that our Blake Days are nearly over. Here’s to the Class of 1915! May her members always cherish the bonds of true friendship, with the true Blake spirit which is here individually and collectively today, and may every 1915 man make himself worthy of being called a Blake Man in years to come.

The officers were elected, and everyone started immediately to work for the best interests of the class. Within a few weeks business was running smoothly. Rings were decided upon as insignia. The basketball team was organized, and the class exhibited the best of spirit in the way in which it supported the team in all inter-class contests. In the final game of the series, we won the school championship by defeating the seniors. The debating team also proved its superiority by winning over the classes of 1917 and 1915. Our baseball material looks very promising, and we expect to turn out a much better team than our last year’s school championship team. We have been especially fortunate in having Mr. Smoyer for our faculty adviser, and owe him a vote of thanks for his interest in us. and the help he has given us. Our success in promoting class spirit and interest in school affairs has been due to the fact that we have worked together as a class instead of as a number of individuals. With this same spirit we intend to go on to bigger and better things next year. James Stricker. Pa«c35 Page 36 jjIumuuT Class The Sophomore Class organized in the fall of 1914 and elected the following officers: Truman Penney, president; James Bennett, vice president, and Benjamin Wood- worth, secretary-treasurer. A class basketball team was organized and played a number of outside games, winning most of these. Due to their efforts three members of the Fifth Form received football ‘‘BY’ and expect to do much towards turning out a winning team next fall. One of the important events in the class history was the debate with the Sixth Form on the question as to whether a literacy test should be adopted for the restriction of immigration into the L nitcd States. Although this debate was won by the Sixth Form, they had to work hard to beat the Fifth Form Trio. T. Penney. Pag 37 CL he Callnpan (Lhc Jfnurth ifnnu The class of 1918 was organized as a class in the winter of 1914. It was at that time the Third Form of the Lower School. It made great progress under the supervision of Mr. Mead. The officers chosen for the hrst year were: Franklin Crosby, president; Charles Winton. vice president: Richard Gale, secretary and treasurer. During the year the class had a sleigh ride and other social events. It also took numerous excursions to various industrial plants, the most interesting of which was to the Washburn-Crosby flour mills. Early this fall the class visited the university observatory with Mr. Mead and listened to a very interesting talk by one of the university instructors, on the moon and various stars and planets. I hey used the telescope after being instructed concerning its management. The class has done well in an athletic way, also. The boys were too small for the third football team but they at once organized a class team with Michelet as its captain. They had several games with outside teams and always did credit to their class. They tied the Lower School all star team in a championship series. The baseball prospects are good. The class team elected Coffin captain and Michelet manager. At a recent election officers for the year were chosen. Coffin was chosen as president. Gale as vice president. Michelet as secretary and treasurer. Under the guidance of Mr. Foss we hope to make the Fourth Form as much of a success as it was in the L«ower School. Par 38 R. P. G. Jfamtbers’ Ihtu, ulmubcr 411], HU 4 k- i r ' L ' The celebration of Founders’ Day in 1914 took the form of a frolic, held on the school grounds the afternoon of November 4th. It was a cold and windy day, ■which put lots of ginger into those who took part in the various stunts, but was a bit uncomfortable for the many guests who came out to enjoy the fun with the boys. Many arrived in time to hear the speaking at the end of luncheon, when our best wits held forth in merry jest. One of the interesting aspects of the out-door affair was the costumes of many hues and descriptions that the participants wore. Some were masked and some were painted; some were chalked and seme wore beards of ink. I atters and rags there were some. The clown, the dude, the policeman and the farmer were in evidence, frisking about with people from far over the seas, from China, Italy and Turkey. The charming little Dutch girl was a picture. After a grand march from the entrance to the locker rooms around the back of the building and down on to the football field, the stunts began. The contests were as much as possible between the Browns and Whites. At the final count, the score was a tie. That is interesting from the point of view of the evenness of the matches but rather disappointing to those who were anxious to have points won on the Brown or White score for the year. In the Suit Case race the boys had to run the length of the football field with their bags which contained the wearing apparel they were to put on. When they were fully dressed in rubbers, overcoats, gloves and hats, with umbrellas raised, they ran as fast as their clothes would allow them down the field to the point where they started. 1 here were some close finishes, while some lagged far behind because they did not find the arm holes in their coats large enough to accommodate a pair of wings. The Centipedes had some difficulty in co-ordinating the action of their ten pairs of legs, so that one of the insects came to grief before the end of the course. Several pairs of boys struggled manfully for the possession of the canes with which each pair was provided. At the end of three minutes there was a victor out of almost every pair. Some were still pulling without any visible result when time was called. The Medicine Ball Rush was more like a football game then any other thing. All the rules of a prize fight were strictly observed. After much pushing, hauling and rushing, the ball was put over the line by the Whites and one bit of exciting exercise was over. There would doubtless have been a fine ! ug of War on the upper field where the next three events were staged, had it not been for a sad calamity. At the first hard pull of the rope, the thing broke. After patching it. they tried again with no better success. Once more the whole crowd came in a heap to the ground, so it was called off. Our friend Bill” fixed up some fine stunts for the Obstacle Race, but the crowning achievement was the greased plank that led up over the goal posts and which had to be ascended before the race was over. It was most thoroughly greased to say the least. Only a very few had managed to climb up and cover themselves with glory, not to mention soap, when two boys trying to go up at the same time proved too much for the plank. It broke square in the middle and dropped the soapy climbers seme few feet to the ground. P.nge 43 (Lite (Callopan Touchball has been such a popular sport that we put on a game of it to show our friends what it was. I am not so certain that any of them know much about the fine points yet. That is because the rules change so much from day to day that it was a hard piece of work for the officials themselves to tell whether or not the rules were being strictly followed. Browns and Whites in the Lower School finished the sports of the day with a game of football which also finished their series that they had been playing all the fall. At half past six a dinner for fathers was held at the school. Srcmfwypcmmb Page 45 Page 46 (Lite QJallupan (Officers of b isoru 15 oarb President..................................P. J.

The various questions which arise during the school year concerning athletics, are met by the Board and are then placed before the entire Association for the final settlement. Every question that has arisen has been met in a very satisfactory manner, and as time goes on the Association is beginning to feel more certain in its work and is becoming more and more efficient throughout. The Athletic Association in any school is an important organization and the Association at Blake will undoubtedly grow in its ability and will learn to despatch all business at hand in a manner worthy of its position.

Blake 157 Page 51 HE football season opened with rather meagre prospects for a successful outcome. A number of veterans had graduated and there was little substitute material from which to build a new team. This handicap was overcome by the school spirit of several fellows, who. although they had had no previous experience, reported for practice. Of these, 1 hayer, McDonald and Williamson earned places in the first lineup by their conscientious plugging. A few members of the former season s third team also showed unexpected ability. Page 52 t (Uallopait The result was a team which developed a first-class spirit and an aggressive attack. It was not a well-balanced team nor did it have a strong defense. The play showed the raggedness that always comes when a large proportion of the players are inexperienced. There was not the perfect finish necessary for so-called inside football, but before the season ended it became evident that a knowledge of fundamentals, backed by determination ft CRACK football T -rn can accomplish a great deal. The early games on the schedule were not hard, but the scant 7-0 victory over the West High Seconds showed that the season would not be an easy one. 1 he lighter South High Seconds did not offer so much opposition and the resulting score of 39-9 proved encouraging. Backed by the confidence which came from a favorable start the team defeated University Prep and Luther by the respective scores of 20-0 and 33-0. The following Saturday brought the longed-for trip to Owatonna and the game with Pillsbury. The players were in first-class condition and had been at the very top of their stride for a week. The attack worked perfectly. In the first half the Blake backs ran their heavy opponents off their feet, piling up a lead of thirteen points. In the second half, weight began to tell. Pillsbury rallied, pushed the ball to Blake’s thirty-yard line, and kicked a goal from the field. Barnes had been compelled to leave the game early in the first half on account of a sprained ankle, and shortly after Pillsbury scored. McLane was also injured. With two substitutes in the backfield, Blake carried the ball the length of the field and Moore scored on a double pass. At the beginning of the last quarter, Pillsbury gained a touchdown on forward passes from open formation. The rally continued but Moore’s splendid punting prevented another touchdown and the game ended with the score 20-10. The subsequent crushing defeat at Galahad was a severe damper to the high spirits and somewhat cocky attitude that had accompanied the long winning streak. With three substitutes in the lineup Blake was completely outclassed and the 56-0 score shows how thoroughly the Galahad team deserved its victory. The final game of the season with Elk River was won handily by a score of 18-6. In criticising individual players, too much cannot be said in praise of Captain Moore. He was equally brilliant in offense and defense. His punts were long and well placed. He threw passes well. As a captain he showed a high order of leadership. Page 53 oyrtAMiTt mo Page 54 CLlic Barnes and Harrison were both good backfield men and the latter was unsurpassed as a defensive fullback, although his work in carrying the ball was marred by a tendency to fumble. McL.ane, at quarter, showed excellent judgment and was the best ground gainer on the team. In the line, Ed. Mitchell at center and Clark at end were the backbone of the defense. Petterson was a valuable tackle because of his strong charge and ability to open holes for his backs. Thayer, his running mate, was able to help the team greatly because of his kicking ability. The guards. Williamson and McDonald, were both green men but developed rapidly. H. Warner was unable to do himself justice because of severe injuries. Substitutes who earned the “B were Penney, Gardner and Hart. It would not be fitting to close without mentioning the scrubs who by their faithful work helped develop the team. Those in whose breasts hope sprang eternal were: Havi- land, Welch. Shoemaker, W. Warner. O’Brien. C'hadbourne and Webster. Our thanks are due not only to the Varsity but to all who “played the game.” Earl C. MacArthur ■S- Pagc 55 FOOTBALL TERM: “HEAD WORK. (Ll]c (Lhirh Cram In the beginning, a promising number of candidates for the third team aroused high expectations. The first game, however, showed that the greater part of the squad was too light to meet the teams booked on our tentative schedule. Accordingly, two shining lights of the backfield. Paul Michelet and Franklin Crosby, were made the nucleus of a lightweight team which engaged in daily contests with the lower school All Stars. Page 56 The nine boys remaining on the third team had plenty of weight, but lacked energy. Indulgence in sodas and candy after the daily practice, and a general disregard of training directions gave an indication of the want of spirit. Those boys who made a conscientious effort stood out in splendid contrast. Consecutive defeats by Unity Hall, Central High Independents. Grace Presbyterian Sunday School. St. Paul Academy, and the “Kenwood Shrimps,” were taken philosophically. All of these teams had a considerable advantage in weight, with the exception of the Kenwood team, which was noticeably lighter. The last two weeks of the season saw the team augmented by several recruits from the tennis squad. This gave a splendid stimulus to the flagging spirits of the team and the climax of the season was the final game with the Kenwood “Shrimps” which Blake won by a score of 20 to 6. During the season the various positions were filled by the following players: R. Gamble and D. Rogers, center; Massie, Ferguson, Sewall and Heffelfinger, guards; R. McCaull, Carroll and Buffington, tackles; Bennett and B. Woodworth, ends; Gillette, quarterback; Gale, fullback; Regan. Robinson and Woodward, halfbacks. Robinson, Carroll. Regan and Woodward were used as general utility men in the backfield and at the ends. Special recognition is due the faithful and consistent work of McCaull in the line, the spirit of Robinson and the ground gaining power of Woodward in the backfield. Page 57 ON THE UPPER FIELD. THE BROWN “MIDGETS” Page 58 llofner School JfootbaJl C - v The Lower School football season opened with four teams, with all the football paraphernalia possible. parading the field. The Browns were headed by V. Stabeck, bearing all the marks of an old veteran. It was plain to be seen by the look in the eyes of every Brown that they intended to wrest the glory of winning from the Whites and forget, if possible, the defeat of the year before. The Whites, made chesty” by previous victories, were led by Jones. The Browns were heavier than the Whites but the Whites still hold the points for speed. Trailing in the footprints of the Big Browns and Whites came the Midget teams. The Browns were led by Bull, who could make himself heard, as usual. he Whites were captained by T. Newton, who was everywhere at all times, carrying his team to victory. After practicing for some time, Stabeck managed, with the help of the coach and team, to get C arpenter to move toward the right goal. This done the game was on. I he teams were evenly matched, but the Whites won the first game. I’hc Browns won the next. The taste of blood only whetted the appetite, and with old sores waiting to be soothed with the exquisite balm of victory the Browns went after the Whites. 1 hey came out with great rejoicing and hearts swelling with just pride. The series was ended by a decided victory for the Browns. The Whites took the defeat with the true Blake spirit. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Carpenter entertained the Browns at dinner. At this time the boys were awarded their letters. 'The all star team was picked and played the outside games, winning each time. In the contest for the Wells trophy, the Lower School won the entire scries with St. Paul Academy. Fsor mall Page 39 331 bite (Team J. CLARK. L. H. B. D. JORDAN. F. B. W. JONES. Capt.. R. H. B. D.

GREGG ®l;c (Eallopau Uasehall Si'asmt of HU4 HE baseball season of 1914 was in many ways a repetition of 1913 buf lacked the brilliant victories of the 1913 team in any particular game. The season was marked by the steady development of the battery work. Jas. Gregg and Clark rounding into a really effective machine before the end of the season. The playing of Captain John Gregg also improved about one hundred per cent over the previous year and his generalship and power of handling a highly temperamental team was in evidence more than once. McLane at short played consistently brilliant ball throughout the season, his work in the Galahad game at Hudson and the last home game with St. Thomas, being nothing less than phenomenal. The Petterson brothers who covered left and right fields, while new to the team, still gave excellent accounts of themselves and should be in fine shape for the work this spring. G. Petterson is a product of the Princeton High School team while Severt received his initial training here at Blake. Puffer whose name has changed to Captain, improved his work at first very much over the preceding year. He is still a little weak on ground balls but his increased knowledge of the technique of the position and his ability to hit the ball, make him a decided value to the team. Winton at second started out brilliantly but owing to injuries received early in the season was out of condition nearly all the time and so his work in the field and on the bases suffered appreciably. With his added weight and height he should put up a better game than ever during this season of 1913. Clifford, while not a brilliant player, continued his usual steady defensive game at third. His size and strength were a big asset on the hot corner. Freeman, whose pitching last season was a disappointment to his friends and admirers, should do some really good work this year as he has the natural ability and merely lacks the experience. Others on the squad who are likely to make good this season are McCaull and Strieker, both of whom improved greatly in their work in the outfield. Generally speaking, the team was weaker cn hitting and on team play than the 1913 team, but stronger on the defensive play. Better facilities foi batting practice will be provided this year on the new field and this side of the work ought to be improved. Gregg should show some excellent pitching, and with Clark to do the receiving and Freeman and Regan as a second string battery, the work in this department should be stronger than ever before. Several members of last year’s third team will be up on the big field this spring and together with the three or four new candidates, the prospects for a winning team are bright. Page 65 Speaking of the games individually, the Galahad game at Hudson, which was not finished, and the St. I homas game here, furnished the best brand of baseball. In these games the work of both teams was fast and clean and the scores were low. In the Shat-tuck game, which was a very interesting exhibition, Gregg held his opponents down to three runs for seven innings, but weakened in the last two innings and thus allowed them to score enough runs to win the game by a safe margin. A couple of errors contributed to the losing of this game, however. All things considered the team did not play the brand of ball they should have played. The team work was lamentably weak, the batting light and the base-running mediocre. This general standard was lifted at times by really brilliant fielding and sensational battery work. With only two men lost by graduation and with a wealth of new material together with the prospects of better playing facilities, this season of 1915 should surpass all previous efforts in this line of sport. Too much credit cannot be given to Manager Winter, 1914. for the efficient way in which he handled the schedule and took care of the team throughout the season. The thanks of the coach and the squad are due Mr. Foss, who by his gift of two loving cups stimulated interest and aroused competition. T he cup for the highest batting average went to Clark. 1916. and for the highest fielding average to Puffer. 1915. C. W. Hadden. Page 66 piinier sports (Out of Hours Through the continued kindness of some of our friends who have done so much to build up our physical equipment on the outside so that all boys may have a chance to spend their play hours in the open, a skating rink and toboggan slide were made as soon as the weather permitted. They have both proved a source ol great pleasure and profit to all who care at all for the kind of recreation that the winter season offers to young and old. The boys co-operated in the work of construction of both slide and rink, so that they were the result of kindly interest and enthusiastic appreciation of the joys of being out of doors. Page 67 There never was a pleasant afternoon when the younger boys did not use cither the slide or the skating rink, and it was only at times of special games of basketball that the boys of the upper school did not come down in large numbers to play hockey. Only a few had played real hockey before, but by the middle of January a team had been picked that had succeeded in mastering the rules of the game well enough to try out with an outside team. On the third of February the team from West High came out and played on our rink. Much interest was shown in that game because it was the first on a Blake School hockey rink. The playing was good enough so that the score was five to three in favor of Blake. Puffer did the big share of the work, while McLane stopped the opponents’ shots well, especially in view of the fact that he had not been long out for practice. The other members of the team showed some real stuft at times. The following week the Central High crowd came out and snowed us under to the tune of twelve to two. 1 he play was ragged in spots and the team suflered from the absence from the game of 1 om Harrison, who had done good service at cover point in the previous game. Unfortunately for the experience of the team, the weather was too bad to get the ice in shape for another game, so the season ended when we hoped it had hardly begun. In spite of the short and not wholly successful season, a number of boys learned something about hcckey so that another year we will have some players of a little experience to begin the season. The players who made up the teams which played in the games are as follows: Puffer, Rover H. Warner, Left Wing Freeman, Center Mitchell. Right Wing Harrison. Cover Point Regan, Point McLane, Goal G. PETTERSON. Substitute CLARK, Substitute Page 68 basketball Page SV {tlje (Callnpan Basketball a small squad, and exceptionally light material, the first team was ob-sly dependent upon speed. Several athletes whose weight would have •led us to compete with larger schools, devoted their attention to hockey. Captain Joe Moore, the only big fellow on the team, left school in December, and a new center had to be drafted at the height of the season. Williamson, despite his lack of experience, went after the place to such good purpose that he soon became the regular center. Rufcy Clark displayed considerable muscular ability at guard, but occasional encounters with opponents of similar accomplishments often necessitated a pause in the day’s occupation, which was known by the call of Time out! Winton. who at first alternated with Clark at right guard, had occasion to demonstrate his versatility by playing center or forward when emergencies arose, but he eventually settled down at guard. From the start. Shoemaker made good at left guard. He could always be depended upon to stay at his post with both eyes open, and never showed any signs of confusion or carelessness. Coming to Blake as a new student this year, his work on the first team resulted in his being chosen captain of his class team. Playing at left forward, Gregg, who succeeded Moore as captain of the first team, was a wizard at scoring, and the dexterity of McLane at right forward was no less remarkable. It is worthy of comment, moreover, that neither one would sacrifice team work in order to gain the personal credit of scoring. Whichever man had the best opportunity was generally allowed to do the scoring. Barnes, Gardner and Haviland substituted at guard. Strieker at guard and center, and Hart at forward. Out of seven games, five resulted in victories for Blake. Of the two matches lost, one was to the Y. M. C. A., which was undefeated this season except in the first game with Blake; the other to Excelsior High School, which wFon every game and claimed the interscholastic championship. Scores for the season were as follows: Y. M. C. A 15 Blake 33 Excelsior 47 Blake 25 St. Paul’s M. E 23 Blake 26 Hopkins High 14 Blake 54 Central High 5 Blake 18 Y. M. C. A 34 Blake 28 Central High Page 70 21 Blake 29 Page 71 (Haliupaii In short. Blake scored 21 3 points against a total of I 39 made by opponents. With five players returning next year, prospects are exceptionally good. The inter-class series of seven games offered some interesting matches, particularly between the sixth and seventh forms. The championship honors were decided only after an extra game. For speed and tenacity of puipose the fifth form could hardly have been improved upon, but weight and experience greatly favored the upper classes. The Junior team, composed principally of first team players, was rather disconcerted by a defeat in the first encounter with the seniors. The most noticeable effect of this circumstance, however, was to spur the former to redoubled efforts during the rest of the season. Notwithstanding the fact that a broken leg prevented Gregg from playing in the final game, the sixth form proved conclusively that the pennant belonged to the class of 1916. (Team Standing Won. Lost.

(Llic Callnpan I (Lmmis Since the new courts have been finished, the enthusiasm over the game and the general increase in the standard of excellence are ample proof of the appreciation which the school has for them. 1 hirty boys of the Lower School played on the courts down by the car line and as many of the older boys used the new courts both spring and fall. The old courts have been seasoned by use and now have a good surface which is well cared for. I he new courts needed to be played upon for some time and rolled a good deal before they were in prime condition, but stood up well under the hard usage they received daily, especially by those who were eager to get on them before they were thoroughly dry after a hard rain. Page 75 The fall tournament brought out all the good stuff that was In the boys. It also thowed up those who had not the staying qualities to play their best game for many consecutive days. The four upper forms were divided into two sections according to the ability previously shown. 1 he lower forms all played together. On account of detention. which surely does seem to interfere with play at times, the process of playing off the matches was all too slow. The boys who came through victorious in the three groups were: Freeman, Rogers, Coffin, and Joe Willard. A ruling of the Athletic Association makes it necessary for a boy to choose only one sport for any one season. This results in many good tennis players not taking their regular exercise in that way either in the Fall or Spring or both. But then, if they really care for it very much, they can play all Summer. Experience has shown that it is disastrous to a football or baseball team to have members of the regular squad running off a few days in the season to compete in some match or tournament. Fewer requests for such permission are being received each season and soon it is to be hoped that everyone will understand that the ruling is for the best good of the school. Then the coaches will not have the bother of explaining to anyone why he is not excused from football or baseball whenever he wants a day of tennis. Last Spring a cup was put up by the Athletic Association, to be competed for by the four upper forms. The class numerals of the winning class are to be inscribed upon the cup. I he tournament is held in the Spring. The class of 1915 won last time, but not under entirely satisfactory conditions, weather being mostly at fault. When school was out in June, the matches were not all played. Nineteen fifteen was ahead a sufficient number of points so that no one class could have beaten them out by winning all their matches, so there is really no question about it. It is merely an unsatisfactory lack of finish that is to be avoided in the future by beginning earlier. Our interscholastic matches have been fine sport and interesting, but not always productive of victory. When the boys have had more experience they will be in shape to gather in laurels in that line as well as in the major sports. The results of the matches played last season are as follows: Central 4 Blake 2 St. Paul 3 Blake 3 Central 3 Blake 3 St. Paul 2 Blake 4 West : 3 Blake 3 15 15 The squad of last year was made up of 1 hayer, Williamson.

I he meet was with the University team and so the showing that we made was not poor in comparison. Other meets were looked ahead to later in the year, but somehow none of them seemed to develop, and so Manager Harrison informed us that the swimming team was disbanded for the year. I he following men made up the team: Harrison“Dives and Twenty (Manager) McDonald—Plunge and Eighty Strong—Dives and Forty Barnes—Twenty and Forty (C aptain) As for the relay, we all swam that, one of us swimming twice if need be.

A. and the National Guard was held at the armory on the evening of March 6, 1915. Blake was asked to enter the meet in the half mile relay with Shattuck, Pillsbury and Galahad, the latter withdrawing from the event on the last day. Blake trained for one week, and finally entered the meet with five men. McLane and Welch ran well in the free for all fifty-yard dash, both men running in the final heat. McLane secured third place out of twelve entries. Our men were defeated by the two best preP- school runners in the Northwest, both of whom were Shattuck men. Blake’s relay team consisted of four men, Warner running first, Regan second, Shoemaker third, and McLane fourth. Blake was at a very great disadvantage, first because her men were all inexperienced and secondly, because she drew the outside position. As a result, the team finished third. Mr. Blanpied. the coach, worked hard during the week of practice and his assiduous efforts were well repaid. Blake considered the meet as much of a success as could be expected with green material and other trying conditions. Harold Warner. Page 79 (Lhe Callupau With the new skating rink, and the distractions of alluring out-door sports, many boys were loath to confine themselves within the restraining walls of the gymnasium, not to mention the routine of class drills. The faithful devotees of basketball, however, were numerous enough to furnish a nucleus for the scheduled classes, and by the time that our last farewells were tendered to the toboggan slide and hockey stick, several boys actually had to be driven from the gymnasium when evening approached. The more highly specialized branches of gymnastic work had attractions for a few. but many found satisfaction in developing their skill along the lines of general apparatus work. A repertoire of “stunts on the horse or parallel bars caused more than one chest to swell with justifiable pride, and some fellows who had almost aroused the suspicion that they were lazy, found that boxing or wrestling afforded a remarkable tonic. In spite of the long practice necessary to accomplish real things in tumbling, some of the boys became proficient in mat exercises. All of these things helped to make interesting the annual exhibition, which took place on the afternoon of March twenty-second. Those who participated in this event deserve commendation for the spirit in which they carried out the program, for it is the apparent spontaneity in such an affair which makes it worth watching. Good order, lack of delay or confusion, and prompt attention to each event in its turn, made it possible to hold the interest of the spectators and complete everything on schedule time. The plan of working on signal, without spoken command, necessitated conscientious practice, and the fact that most of the work was done to music, and without oral direction, proved that each individual had learned his part. l he program consisted of a demonstration of the various lines of exercises undertaken in classes, arranged as follows: 1. Marching and Calisthenics Squad A 2. Mat Work and Relay Race Squad A 3. Wand Drill Squad B 4. Rope Climb ...... Four Picked Athletes 3. Goal Shooting Relay .... Squad B 6.

The fact that nearly every phase of the exhibition depended for its success upon the faithful work of those boys to whom it was entrusted proves that each one was worthy of the confidence placed in him. It is to be hoped that every one who accomplished anything in the way of physical progress this year will find that its influence will spur him on to follow it further. In later life he can find no more wholesome stimulant than a consistent plan of physical exercise. Page 81 (the (Callnpait BLAKE 4—WEST 3. Rebating Page 83 “WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND.

Once a week from six to ten speakers appeared before the entire school. Extemperaneous speeches on various topics of current interest and debates on important public questions were given alternately. Matters were so arranged that practically every member of the three upper forms appeared in one debate and delivered one impromptu speech. The members of the fourth form were not required to debate but made three-minute speeches instead. Considerable interest was aroused by the itnerclass debates. First, the fifth and sixth forms discussed the question of the literacy test for immigrants, the fifth form upholding the affirmative and the sixth form the negative. 1 he youthful, yet precocious fifth form team, composed of Ben Woodworth. Robert McCaull and Cargill McMillan, showed more than a little ability but the handicap of inexperience proved too great. 1 he sixth form, represented by Edward Mitchell. Robert Woodworth and James Strieker, was awarded a well-earned unanimous decision and proceeded to tempt fate by challenging the seniors. The senior team was compelled to prepare rathe: hurriedly. Although, when the test came, they presented an excellent argument supplemented by a clever rebuttal, they were defeated by their younger opponents who showed a thorough knowledge of the question and a finish in their main speeches that completely won the hearts of the judges. It is rumored that the seniors held their opponents too lightly, but it is more probable that the result was due to thorough preparation and the experience which the juniors had obtained in debating the same question with the sixth form. In spite of this decision, partly because of the withdrawal of James Strieker and partly owing to the fact that they were more seasoned debaters, the senior team, consisting of I .oring Staples. George Williamson and Phillip Barnes, was chosen to represent the school in the fourth annual debate with Saint Paul Academy. Robert Woodworth was selected as alternate. On the evening of May thirtieth the members of the team journeyed to St. Paul to make their first appearance of the year in an interscholastic debate. 1 he Saint Paul debaters had a finished delivery and showed great fluency in their opening speeches. I he Blake speakers did not show as much ability in this respect but seemed well supplied with facts and statistics. In spite of the fact that their arguments seemed conclusive and their rebuttal effective, they were unable to overcome the impression made by the excellent oratory of the Academy speakers and lost what was admitted by the judges to be a close decision. The natural conclusion is that future teams will do well to spend more time on delivery since the weakness of the team seems to have been the method of presentation rather than lack of material or ability to argue. The series with St. Paul Academy now stands c en. each school having won twice during the four years. It is to be hoped that these debates will be continued and that better success will crown the efforts of our speakers next year. Earl C. MacArtiiur.

The foregoing statement explains better than any amount of discussion or description could do. just what are the aims and the objects cf The Blake Union. It does not aim to be merely a debate club with all the perquisites and traditions of Debating Clubs all over the country to abide by and to live down to. It purposes to be a factor in the school life as well as in the individual life of the members. The limitations placed upon membership will serve to make it worth while to be selected, and the benefits derived from it will, it is hoped, make membership in it a pleasure as well as an honor. It aims at comradeship. as well as intellectual development; it aims to increase the seriousness of the members as well as to develop their powers of oratory or debate. It hopes to be a potent factor in the upbuilding of good school spirit as well as to stimulate the members to think and discuss. The first meeting of 1 he Blake Union was held at the rooms of 1803 Hennepin Avenue on Friday evening. December fourth. I he charter members had already been selected arbitrarily by the faculty advisor. Gerald Petterson. 1915. was elected the first president of the organization and the other officers chcsen were Kenneth O’Brien. 1916. vice president; Harold Warner. 1915, treasurer, and James Strieker 1916. secretary. A constitution and by-laws were presented and soon after adopted. A general order of business was arranged and by the date of the third meeting on January twenty-ninth everything was moving in excellent order and the first debate was held. It might not be out of place in view of the fact that the inception of this club should be quite an event in the life of the Blake school, to mention the debaters who were the first to participate in this affair, and thus the ones who in a sense started the work which all of us hope will go on with unabated enthusiasm and energy through the years to come. I he question was the all absorbing one of the Increased Armament of the United States of America. Woodworth. 1916. and Strieker. 1916. upheld the affirmative of the question and were given the decision over Staples. 1915. and Williamson, 1915. Page 88 Meetings arc held on alternate Friday nights and the general scheme for the work for the year 1914-1915 is to have several debates and a few symposiums on several questions of current interest. From time to time members of the faculty or men of affairs in the city will be asked to speak to the Club. Each night of meeting refreshments are served and the social idea of the gathering is developed in this way to no mean extent. Parliamentay Law plays an important part in the work of the Club, as different points are brought out at each meeting and discussed and explained. Matters which have to do with the general development of the school along extra-curriculum lines are very often the subject of discussion and it is hoped that the sentiment started here may bear its fruit in the class room and in the literary life of the school in general. In short the Blake Union hopes to be a departure from the traditional debating clubs of many private schools in which the members are herded together like slaves scourged to the dungeon; it hopes to be an inspirational center where without cant or formality, without levity or flippancy and yet with interest and enthusiasm, the boys of the Blake School may train themselves for the work in college, and may develop the seriousness of purpose and the poise so necessary for the successful prosecution of a college course or a business career. The Blake Union projects big things; it believes in itself and its possibilities; it has started modestly but on firm foundations. It is merely in the making as yet but there are many years ahead of it. Interest and co-operation On the part of all concerned will spell ultimate achievement and realization. C. W. Hadden. Pa85 69 (the Sintiur Council Cs At the beginning of the school year, 1914-15, it became evident both to members of the faculty and of the senior class that there was a great deal of disrespect and a general lack of school spirit among many of the under classmen. Since such things as going in early without permission or disrespect to seniors and members of the faculty arc not offenses readily punishable, the senior council was formed with the “Code of 1915 as its manual of laws. The code outlines senior privileges denied to under classmen, and also gives a list of offenses, such as petty gambling, sneaking in early, or anything that tends to militate against the reputation of the school. All offenders of these rules are brought before the council. Up to this time several offenders have been brought up. and all have promised to co-operate with the council in working toward the betterment of the school. The class of 1915 feels that it has established a worthy organization in the senior council, and one that will go a long way towards creating greater school spirit at Blake. L. M. Staples, Secretary.

The prize is a dinner to the entire winning side and surely the promise of something to eat is the finest incentive to hard work among boys. This contest is no exception to the rule. During the previous years the competition has been most keen, and this year seems to be the closest yet. Although the Browns have won the coveted meal for the past two years, the Whites have lost none of their fighting spirit and. to date, this year, seem to be the logical winners of the prize. While we are not prophets we feel tolerably safe in announcing the Whites as victors this year, and we wish to add that we hope that, in future years, the competition may be as close and keen as it has been in the past.

In addition to the members of the squad. Mr. Newton and several other members of the faculty were present. Among the guests of honor were Dr. H. L.

Toward the close of the dinner. Captain Moore arose and in behalf of the team presented Mr. MacArthur with a meerschaum pipe as a token of the good will of the squad. Mr. MacArthur in reply reviewed the season’s work, and made everyone on the squad feel that the season had been a successful one, in spile of one bad defeat. Great appreciation of the work of Mr. MacArthur and Captain Moore was expressed by various members of the squad, as was also the strong feeling of loyalty to Captain McLane in his work for next year. Both Dr. Williams and Mr. McGovern gave inspiring talks. After singing numerous songs and giving several lusty cheers which were led by Bruce Puffer, the meeting broke up in time for the nine-thirty-seven car for home. Gf.rald R. Petterson. Sint in r Dinners The Senior Dinners, held at various times throughout the past year, furnished not only a pleasing diversion to the Senior Class, but likewise greatly helped to bind its members together more firmly. Up to the first of May. four of these dinners had been held, and it is the general opinion of the class that they have done a great deal to promote class unity and spirit, since they do not alone consist of mere eating, but are followed by either a class meeting or a little friendly discussion on matters connected with the welfare or interest of the class. I he evening’s program usually consists of an informal dinner, conversation, a few songs, plans for the future, and the like, coming to an end with a hurried rush for the car. which is always late. The Senior dinners are an important part of our class events that will keep the memory of the class of 1915 always alive and that will bind its members together in after life—both in college and in business. We. of this year’s class, will always look back with deep feeling on our happy gatherings that did so much towards creating good friendship between us. its members. Page 98 Alumni ptimer Prominent schools and colleges, in the east especially, feature their alumni associations. Such organizations tend to unite their members, young and old. in a Bond’' of everlasting friendship. Realizing, therefore, the benefits of an alumni association, it was decided that the fourth year of a virtually new school was an opportune time to organize. Several of the graduates in the city began the plans to carry out this idea. The able assistance of Mr. Newton who had had great experience with such in connection with Princeton and Lawrenceville was a great aid. After considering the matter carefully, it was decided to send out notices of a dinner to be held at the school on December twenty-ninth. About twenty-five fellows, together with several members of the Board of 1 rustees and Faculty, assembled. The dinner was interspersed with some of the old school songs. Mr. Newton introduced the business of the evening, in which he told of the preliminary steps toward organization. A temporary constitution was submitted, which with few changes was accepted. It stated that the purpose of the association was to promote the best interests and general welfare of Blake. It provided also that there should be an annual meeting. The next business was the election of officers. The following were elected: President. Fred W. Boutelle; vice president. Herbert Clifford; secretary and treasurer. Sam Robertson. By a unanimous vote the members of the Board of Trustees and Faculty were elected honorary members of the association. I he remainder of the evening was spent in speeches. Mr. Bovey.

A talk of great interest, especially to those who had been away during the I all. was Mr. Mac-Arthur’s resume of the football season.

April sixteenth, nineteen hundred and fifteen, at seven o’clock. The entire membership was present and with the guests of the evening, the number totaled twenty-five. 1'he guests of the evening were: Mr. John Crosby, Mr. Franklin Crosby. Mr. Smoyer, Mr. MacArthur and Mr. Thompson. An excellent dinner was served which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. While the dinner was being served several school songs were sung, with the aid of Mr. Thompson at the piano. At the close of dinner, Mr. Hadden, the toastmaster, introduced the members of the Union who were to speak. They were as follows: James Strieker, Accomplishments. Dave Winton. Impressions. Coring Staples. Efforts. Philip Barnes, “Hopes.” The speeches were all very interesting and explained very clearly the plans and purposes of the Blake Union. Following these speeches, Mr. Hdden explained to the guests, iust how the Blake Union was formed and the purpose of the Union. He then called upon Mr. Smoyer for a short address, which he rendered in his usual style. Next, Mr. John Crosby was called upon to speak and he responded with a brief talk upon The Benefit of Practice in Public Speaking When One is Young which he says will be a great help later in life, when one is called upon to speak without previous preparation. Mr. MacArthur followed Mr. Crosby with an address upon The Ability to Stand on One’s Feet and Say What One Thinks Without Preparing a Speech in Advance. Mr. MacArthur’s speech closed the several speeches of the evening, and after the Alma Mater had been sung, all returned to the city. The first banquet of the Blake Union was a great success and strengthened the spirit with which the members have done everything. All those present enjoyed the evening thoroughly, and it is hoped that the banquet next year will be as great a success as the one in 191 5.

On the eventful evening the well known gymnasium was marvelously disguised in gorgeous flowing robes, which took the shape of a huge canopy stretched over the entire floor. A pillared effect against the white sides beneath this canopy, gave the needed strength to it all and pinned the vaulted roof down to the floor. Around the entire room at the top of the white sides, ran a fringe of mammoth bright colored flowers, and wherever this fringe approached a pillar, it bunched up into a cluster as big as an armful. l ucked away somewhere, up in the skies, it seemed, the orchestra almost outdid itself in the beauty of its music, and enticed even the most abashed of the seniors to hazard himself on the glass-like floor. It was planned to have the chaperones tucked away in the same fashion, where they could lock down on the maddening swirl, but they chose to lend their presence in a more concrete fashion, and joined the festivities on the main dance floor. Surely “dull care had no place in the building and not until the whirr of the last motor died away, did the sound of merriment leave the school. To those who extended their kindness and help in the preparation for this event, the committee wishes to extend its sincere thanks. Sam Robertson, 14 Bronson Lewis, 14 P. J. Barnes. ’15 Pigc 104 llhc (Callnpan Chi' Christmas JDaurc I he Christmas dance was a great success as is usually the case when something so exhilarating takes place after long struggles over books. The dance came on Saturday evening, December nineteenth, directly after the long fall term. The committee, consisting of Philip Barnes, Gerald Petterson and Russell Powers, did full justice to polishing the floor on which many fantastic and a few gymnastic exhibitions look place. Those who attended enjoyed the time of their lives. Refreshments, which were conveyed to the school under very unfavorable conditions by a member of the committee, were served in the reading room. A log fire was kept burning in the library where groups congregated between dances. Mr. Chamberlin stuck to his post by the school gong in order that he might summon the dancers at the beginning of each new dance. I he chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Newton, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlin. Mrs. Powers. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain, and several other teachers. After the evening’s entertainment the dancers betook themselves to automobiles for the trip home. All asserted that the dance was a great success and were disappointed at having to discontinue their fun at the very early hour of twelve o’clock. Russell Powers. C hair man. Chi' lU'lquut lu'ltcf jFiuth timin' On the evening of Friday, the ninth of April, the members of the Blake School did their best, in their small way. it is true, to help alleviate the suffering and lack of the Belgians by donating the proceeds of a dance to them. The dance itself came off in splendid style, and everyone who was present lent his voice to a unanimous vote that the time was the ‘‘best ever.” However, we must not take too much credit to ourselves in the matter of the help towards the Belgians. All possible credit and thanks is due the kindness and generosity of the people who donated all the necessities and the luxuries of the dance and the dancers of the evening hereby wish to formally thank them. The Committee. Page 105 (Llic Callopan (Llic -Senior CLobiu gau Jartu An explanation for the energetic interest which certain young athletes showed in the construction of a toboggan slide came suddenly to light when the senior class held their winter sports party on the evening of February eleventh. Weather conditions were ideal—just cold enough to keep the ice frozc� ', yet warm enough to keep at high temperature the spirit of good fun and mirthful enjoyment which begm with the street car journey from the prcsaic city and ended only when all reluctant good-nights had been said and every one had echoed the common sentiment—“A great treat; some fine hosts, those seniors! ’ The evening entertainment began with coasting in which everyone participated right merrily, especially “the shovel brigade.” which found the sport of mere toboggan dieting entirely too commonplace. There were several records broken both for speed and distance (of tumbles) but though ideal in all other respects, there was no moon and so no official records could be kept. In fact, during the early part of the evening the sky was so dark it was a question whether it would be safe to coast out into that unknown sea of whiteness, for it must be remembered there were those present who did not know, as those of the senior class did, every bump and skidding point on the coasting course. 1 he implicit confidence felt by all for the Blake seniors, however, won the day and shouts of laughter were soon sounding to the sky. The big “out of doors” was too attractive for some of the members of a group which had done all their playing together up to this point. I he trouble came when oyster supper was being served by some energetic seniors and it was found on “counting up that net all were present for the feast. A scout call was sent out and in response ; ,11 were soon gathered at the festive board, save one stalwart member of the class and his fair companion. A second detachment of messengers were dispatched and before the supper was over the group was once more entirely united. Then in the excitement, though a little oyster stew was spilled by this same sturdy youth in his heated explanations of the dilli-culties with skates and other unforeseen obstacles detaining him. this little accident only added to the merriment of a supper tabic, where all showed keen appreciation of the many good things that had been provided. Of course one might imagine that the supper ended this memorable occasion, but although this was a senior party, there were four members of the faculty present and as many fair companions to act as chaperones. And so it was that the “piece de resistance came during the dancing in the gym. when these same stern members of the faculty and their partners joined in the “Virginiaesl” Reel that ever happened in this part of the country. Sure it is that the newest and oldest steps were mingled in the merry fete and certain it is that one member of the faculty went away back to the days of old Virginia and slipped in a cakc-walk step now and then. One somehow expected true dignified Page 106 t — (The (Callnpan ------------- behavior from the only married man in the group, but caught by the infectious spirit of fun and urged by all, he gave an exhibition of clog dancing that brought down the house— figuratively speaking—for there were no rafters loosened either by the great applause or by the strenuous dancing for which it was heartily given. There was a last car at I 1 :37. so like many good things the party had to come to an end, but not without having impressed on every one participating in it how well the seniors are able to accomplish things, because they have that fine team spirit of doing them together.

You can rent a football for the games at that price. You can practice with our 1906 bat bag filled with sand. Mr. Chamberlin (who has just sneaked in): In addressing this notable assemblage. I am reminded of Lincoln’s immortal words: “Give me liberty or give me death.’’ Statistics show that in the Blake School pound there has been discovered a remnant of a football, once owned by the class of 1849.

Barnes: Wc propose to have Mr. Hadden use his Overland as a jitney bus, and to enlarge the Blake School store by adding a pop stand.

How I was all but dead. “ The exercise will do you good.” I was told, and plead in vain. I hurried off to get my clothes— I found my stockings minus toes, And my sweater wet with rain. At length I marched around the gym With Indian clubs to drill. I got called down for things I said. When someone hit me on the head— I think I feel it still. Upon the bars I made a “hit” As you shall plainly see: I started in the bars to clear And lit exactly on my ear While the others laughed with glee.
