for future service. Several of our number enlisted in different branches of the service. Clark and Hudson were among the fighters, while Brooks, Mills and Boquist were in the Red Cross. In every way 1919 has been 100 per cent loyal and devoted. Perhaps among all our successes for Blake in every field of endeavor—two decisions of our class will have most effect on the school. Early in the fall the question of continuing the student self-government arose. There was no thought of its abandonment, however, the existing system seemed to need improvement. The student council was large and ineffective and we set ourselves to evolve a remedy. 'Hie result is our present self-government organization, which we hope has promoted the welfare of the school. Along with this question came the question of the honor system. This we have continued and we hope perfected. These two things—self-government and the honor system—seems to us to be essentials if Blake shall continue to do its work in Minneapolis and we leave them to your care. Here is the story of our class. From the small beginnings we have done our best to rise and to make the name of the class of 1919 glorious in the history of Blake. We have done our best to serve her on the athletic field, in the class room and in all the activities of the school, that she might fulfill the purpose in her motto, “urbi ct orbi lumen. We trust the decisions we have made and the victories we have won, our efforts and our successes, have been worthy of Blake. Now we leave to your care the institutions we have erected, and to your judgment the record we have made. Douglas Rees, Class Historian. 22
