The Revue of 1920 Before our sweeping glance there looms first our Wee Perry Hoeffler, gentle, meekly mild And dulcet-toned—in future years will cower A jazzis band before his woodnotes wild. And Howard, bullock with an infant's face, Some coming scientists of this our race Will view his cracked skull preserved in vat And nodding say, “Beaned by a baseball bat!” Ah, Lightfoot Thorpe is next—he who dethrones Diana from her heavens—sure his bones Are all ethereal as phantom’s breath— His footsteps soundless as the toll of death. Josiah Willard now appears—have care, All ye beloved—not a word! Beware! To argue while Rome burns, his motto e’er. Aha! young Ol’ver Wendell Warsh’ngton Smith, our Psychologist so warmly pugilistic— Although his soul is sweet as a dew-kissed flower, His proud hairbrush betrays desires cpiite fistic. And Lindley, cherub with a heart of gold, Massages his sweet face with limejuice cold Each night (for his complexion), I am told. Ah! Rubins, such a busy little bee— He labors, labors, labors constantly, But always finds some time for naughty spree. And Clifford, tunnin', sweet, bold, ’ittle punner, d'he rounded contour of his swelling chest Betrays a mighty brawn—a brutish strength! ’ “Ah, yes! vaunts Carl, the Nash, “she's some li'l stunner! We wonder who she is to cause such zest And his account we censure at great length. The next is Jackie Winton—Jack—the same Under whose kindly patronage gum-making (And chewing) has attained a haughty fame. 14 What’s this? We scarce can gaze at him for quaking— Li’l Crosby, a man’s man, a virile man— A man of might—of iron and steel (hairpins). Powell, you say? A speechless, silent ban Presides upon his Lingual Shrine of Sins Ensphering there the dignity of sphinx. Ah! Barnes, the reprobate, his gentle face— His sandy hair in neatly marcelled kinks Full well conceal that when he’s riled his place Is taken by a devil, a disgrace! And Lugsdin—rumor says he’s fast and swift Like Phoebus’ fiery steeds, but first let’s sift The matter to the bottom. Yes! the head Of the Yelie Institute stands there red A Yelie tempting—Yelie, Blake School jester! Ahem! last but not—pardon—little Chester—. —C. B. C. 15 16 DICAIsLO 17 fiWiCAilO HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1920. The class of 1920 began its history back in the dim, dark ages of Blake, when two of its members went to school in the house on Ridgewood Avenue. Since then Blake has grown and prospered and with the growth and prosperity of the school have come the growth and prosperity of this class, which is now about to spread before your eyes its struggles and advances. The achievements of our class are not very startling in any one line, but as a well rounded whole we stand forth as perhaps the most perfect class ever graduating from Blake. We have proved our ability in the school room as well as on the athletic field, in the speaking halls as well as the executive management of class work. But we will be remembered most by our loyalty, for no class has ever left Blake whose spirit was more united in itself, or more co-operative in its relation to the head of the school than the class of 1920. In the lower school the Class of 1920 was always a leader in athletics, scholarship and spirit. Our class made up the majority of the teams which consistently won over Saint Paul Academy, our deadliest rival. Every year we were with the Lower School, members of our class won the prize for high scholarship and had their names inscribed on a tablet as a reward for their labors. Through the spirit of our class, customs and traditions were built up. some of which are still in vogue among the classes there. These examples show that even then the class of 1920 had begun to assume leadership in school affairs. While in the upper school as underclassmen, we made no remarkable record for ourselves in an athletic way. However, in our Freshman year. Howard won a baseball letter. The next year a large part of the second and third football and baseball teams were composed of 1920 men. while Howard again made the first baseball team. As Juniors, Smith and Thorpe won football letters and Thorpe became Captain elect. During the winter of our Junior year we were represented by two members—Howard and Thorpe— on the basketball team, while the same pair won baseball letters in the spring. Howard, because of his three years’ experience and unquestioned ability, was chosen Captain for 1920. Our class has always been more interested in scholastic than in athletic attainments. For the last four years, Willard has led the school in scholarship. while even as Freshmen our class had the highest average scholarship, which it has consistently maintained. In our Freshman year also, we first began to realize the ability of certain members of our class in public speaking. As Sophomores, Clifford, Hoeffler, Rubins, Willard and Winton were elected to the Union, while Willard won the Union Declamation Contest open to fifth formers. As Juniors, Howard and Thorpe were admitted to the Union. In that year our class debating team, composed of W illard, 18 Lindley and Rubins, was defeated by the Seniors, but for their individual excellence Willard and Lindley were given places on the school team, while Willard was chosen best speaker, thus winning the Strieker Cup. In the fall of 1919 we came back, as the proverbial and worn-out saying goes: “Happy that we were Seniors, but sorry that this was to be our last year at the good old School on-the-Hill.” This was not our entire feeling toward the coming year, however. We all felt that this was a critical period in the life of the school, due to the departure of Mr. Newton, who had been connected with Blake and with our class for so long. Hence we felt that it was up to us to do our best to abide by the rules, to improve conditions as we found them, and especially to co operate with Mr. Johnson and the faculty in realizing the ideals of Blake’s founders. We elected Hoeffler president for the first half year and buckled down to work at once. The football team, under the able coaching of C. W. Johnson, made a decidedly good record for itself. Considering the lack of good material, the season was a great success, perhaps not in the number of games won, but in the spirit and development shown by all the players. Barnes, Carlaw, Hoeffler, Lugsdin, Nash, Smith, Velie and Thorpe won their football letters. During the winter our basketball team, on which were Howard, Smith and Thorpe from the Senior Class, also had a very successful season. This year our team beat a city high school—West High—in a very closely contested game, for the first time in four years; while, of course, we lived up to our tradition of beating Saint Paul Academy twice, and winning several other games. Last winter a hockey team was organized, whose scJlson was not as successful as it might have been. However, much pleasure was derived from the games. Lindley as captain, Hoeffler, Smith, Thorpe and Winton were the Senior members to win hockey letters. This spring Howard is captain of the baseball team. Although the material from which to pick is very poor, a good team is hoped to be developed before the end of the season. During our Senior year we have not overlooked the c|uieter side of our life here at Blake. Our class has led the school in scholarship, as usual, and has, we believe, set a high standard for underclassmen to live up to. We have also shown remarkable dramatic talent, for no class has ever produced such ardent lovers, such wild women, such high-brow kings or such low-brow monkeys as the Class of 1920. Lindley, Carlaw and Smith were elected to the Union, and this body, under the leadership of Hoeffler and Willard, has kept up its good work of the past and been a decided factor for good in our school life. Willard has led the “Torch,” upheld by Clifford. Howard, Carlaw and Velie from the Senior class. The issues of this magazine have been the longest and best in its entire history at Blake. Too much credit cannot be given to the “Torch” board for the good magazine they have published this 19 WiiCAElO last year. The “Callopan. under the leadership of Rubins, supported by Barnes, Crosby, Hoeffler, Lindley, Smith and Yinton, lias had a very successful year, and has kept up the high order of excellence always characterizing this publication. For the second half year Willard was elected President of the class. This last half year has shed even more credit upon the class than the first, for during it the Junior-Senior debate, the Saint Paul-Blake debate, and the W illiams contest were held. In each of these contests, members of our class covered themselves with glory. Willard, Lindley and Rubins won the Junior-Senior debate, and then these three same men turned around and won the St. Paul Acadetny-Blake debate on the opposite side of the same question, thus showing their ability to make other people believe what they said, whether they believed it themselves or not. Carlaw won the Williams’ Theme Contest, in which he gained much praise for his masterly presentation of a well-written theme. Undoubtedly the members of our class may well be proud of the distinctive ability shown in these contests. Two decisions stand out in our work this year. The first is the system of Senior Councils we have established. The Student Governments of past years have proved inefficient and ineffective. Therefore, at the beginning of the year, we decided to return to the old system of Senior Council, which, we hope, we have perfected. The second decision is the Honor System entrusted to us by previous classes and one of the things of which the school may be most proud. The Honor System has been a success with our class and we hope that next year’s Seniors will profit by our mistakes and so improve this system, just as we have profited by mistakes of past classes, and have, we hope, improved it. This is the history of the Class of 1920. We realize its defects, but we also realize, honestly and unconceitedly. its good qualities. We, of the class, are not the ones to judge our own shortcomings or accomplishments. We leave that to you. But we hope and trust that from small beginnings and through hard struggles, our successes and achievements have proved worthy of Blake traditions and ideals. 20 J. X. WINTON, 1920.

FOSS ROSS CROSBY OSBORNE FROST WILLA Rl K HOG N ESS CARD CRANE WAKEFIELD The Junior Class 'THE Junior Class was organized in the fall of 1919, shortly after the commencement of school. The following officers were elected to serve for the first half year; Card, president; Osborne, vice-president; Krogness, secretary; Wakefield, treasurer. Although the class had been depleted considerably by the departure of several old boys for eastern preparatory schools, the remaining members took hold of their duties as a Junior Class with vigor, and with greater spirit than had ever been shown before. The class was well represented on both the football and basketball teams. Four men succeeded in winning their letters in football, while two men were regulars on the basketball team. It is expected that in baseball, also, at least three or four men will manage to win regular positions on the team. The mid-year elections, held soon after the beginning of the winter term, produced these results: Osborne, president; Card, vice-president; Crosby, secretary; Crane, treasurer. In the line of public speaking, the class has not been so prominent. However, inexperienced as they were, the Junior debating team gave creditable opposition to the veteran Senior team in the annual Junior-Senior debate. The class realizes that, although it has improved greatly in many respects, it is still far from being perfect. It feels) however, that next year it will be able to uphold the standard of the school very successfully. The Junior Class wishes sincerely to thank Mr. Foss, its faculty advisor, for the interest he has shown toward us and for the great help that he has given us. E. OSBORNE, President. EBBHHH The Class of 1922 A LTHOUGH handicapped by the small number of its mem-bers, only eight being enrolled, the class of 1922 organized in the fall of 1919 with the following as officers: Donald Gran din, president; Norton Sudduth, vice-president, and Edwin Bidwell, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Whitcomb was chosen class advisor. Considering its size, the class was well represented in Athletics. Owen and R. Nash were on the football team and Sprague was on the squad. The same three represented the class on the basketball team and squad. Nash and Owen are regulars on the baseball team, with Hastings, Laidlaw and Sprague on the squad. R. Nash played a leading role in one of the plays presented by the Dramatic Association. Horace Nickels and James Laidlaw placed first and second, respectively, in the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, under the auspices of the Blake Union. In the mid-year election of officers, the result was: Norton Sudduth, president; Robert Nash, vice-president, and Edwin Bid-well. secretary and treasurer. Mr. Whitcomb was re-elected class advisor. ' NORTON SUDDUTH. 40 The Class of 1923 rr h E Class of 1923 organized for the first time last fall. We chose George Huntington, president; Merritt Case, vice-president; William Dalrymple, treasurer, and Leo Pflaum, secretary. Mr. Lucas was asked to he class advisor. Three members of the class were on the football squad: Dalrymple, Van Slyck and McCaull. Case and Dalrymple acted as substitutes on the hockey team. No members made the school basketball scpiad, but we had a good class team. At mid-year the following officers were elected: Merrit Case, president; Dalrymple, vice-president, and Irving Schneider, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Lucas was again chosen class advisor. C. M.

Baxter Treasurer W. M. Lucas Faculty Adviser R. B. Johnson Report of the Athletic Advisory Board AT the beginning of the year a new constitution was drawn up by the Board in order to bring things up to date. Many matters were different from what they were when the former constitution was formed and it was thought advisable to change it somewhat. Basketball, which again became a major sport in 1919, was again voted a major sport for the year 1920. Under the new constitution all members of the school who shall have paid their dues are members of the Association and have the right to vote. Hockey was revived somewhat during the winter and the Board thought it best to give minor sport letters to members of the team to further what interest in hockey there was. On account of the extremely high cost of sporting goods and the uncertainty of delivery, the dues for the year had to be raised from six to eight dollars. Even with this raise the Association was unable to provide as much material as it had been previously able to furnish when prices were lower. However, the finances of the Association have been left in good condition and next year's Board should get off to a flying start. Adrian M.

W. Johnson THE 1919 Football Season, though not a victorious one, was in many ways a very successful season. In not one of the games played this year was Blake defeated in decisive fashion. We have often heard the remark that the score does not always show the merits in a one-sided game. In my judgment we would not see the merits of the 1919 eleven by merely considering the scores; we must go farther. We must consider the hard schedule, the lightness of the team, the inexperience of many of its members, and the injuries sustained at the beginning of the season. These facts generally prove disastrous, but not so with this team, for they only made them tight harder. The season could be divided very easily into two periods: the first period, which proved unsuccessful and which found the lightness and inexperience of our boys unable to cope with heavier and more experienced elevens played; the second period, which found them outfighting and outplaying their rivals. The team played its best against St. Paul Academy, Johnson High, and I'niversity High, playing hard, fast, aggressive football, and had it not been for an extremely heavy field the scores would have been much more in their favor. In speaking of the players individually too much credit cannot be given Captain Thorpe, tackle, and K. Smith, end, the only two veterans left from last year. At the very beginning they set the pace and never slackened it. The others soon found their stride and rounded out the team in fine shape. During the first week of practice Thorpe and Smith were playing on the same side of the line. It was then decided that Thorpe should be shifted over to the left side of the line, thereby giving each side an experienced player. It proved to be a good move, for Captain Thorpe and Smith were able to keep both sides of the line in a fighting spirit throughout the season. W ithout exception Thorpe is one of the best tackles I have ever seen on a prep” school eleven. He tackled hard and low and was able to tear through every line pitted against Blake this season. More than once, after being called back to punt, did he succeed in being the one who nailed the catcher of it in his tracks. Smith at end was also a shining light. He was a fighter from start to finish and very few times were the opposing backs able to gain much ground around his end. It was more often that he nailed them for a loss. In spite of a bad knee he played a snappy, aggressive game all season. The work of Tennyson, at center, was almost without fault, especially after the first two games. Barnes and Carlaw made good at the guard positions. Both were inexperienced and it took them several games to find themselves. Velie, left end, was another player who was new to the game, and because of this he, too, failed to find himself until the season was well worn. Lugsdin, at right tackle, had never played football before and yet gave a good 51 account of himself in the games he played in this year. Mis coolness and quickness broke up many a try at the line. Frost, Card, C. Nash, at the halfback positions, played consistent football. Both C. Nash and Frost were fast runners but their lightness told in the hard games. Card, though a trifle slower, hit the line hard and proved to be a tower of strength on the defense. In addition his punting and passing were good. Krogness, fullback and captain-elect for 1920, never was a good ground gainer although his work in the U. High game was much better. However, his ability as a dropkicker and passer deserves great credit. It was his two dropkicks that defeated the Academy. Hoeffler, at quarterback, was at his best in the Academy and I . High games. He not only handled the team in much better shape in those two games but also tore off several good runs. Besides these regulars, a word should be said of Winton and Owen, both of whom were put out early in the season with injuries. Winton, before the season opened, received a compound fracture of the knee. Owen, a stocky, smashing player, out for a half, received a fracture of his collar bone in the River Falls game and was out for the remainder of the season. But no football review of the season just closed would be complete which did not in some way make mention of the “scrubs. To them belongs the glory of whipping the team into shape. Without them a good team is an impossibility. To my mind three big factors stand out boldly in the season's work. First, it was not a one man team; eleven men went into every play and eleven men either won or lost. Second, there was no outstanding star in the backfield who could be counted on to make the required amount of ground whenever called upon. If there only had been one back of such a calibre, I feel certain at least two of the defeats suffered would have been turned into victories. And finally, clean, straight, sportsmanlike football was played from beginning to end. In speaking of prospects for next year, the outlook seems far more encouraging than that of 1919. In Captain-elect Krogness, Frost, Card, Owen, R. Nash, Tennyson, Lugsdin, Velie, Rage, H. Crosby, Van Slyke, Osborne. Dalrymple, McCaull, Sprague, Hastings, and Hennessy a good team seems a certainty. teHSfcCALLO Lower School Football The Lower School Football Team did not have much success this past season.

Season 1920 STARTING the season with even less experienced players than the year before, the 1920 Basketball Team had a successful season in every sense of the word. The schedule played was fully as hard as that in 1919 and in practically every game the Blake quint was outweighed and out jumped. And because of the fact that nearly every center had the jump -on the Blake center, the use of signals and plays, which are the foundation of all team work, was practically impossible. However, in spite of the fact that the school was very small and that there were only a few to choose a team from, the 1920 team made a good record. On its home door it put up a great fight against both the strong Dun-woody five, which won all but two of its games during the season, and the Shattuck basketball team, which won all of its contests in the new Preparatory School League. But even though the team should have lost a great majority of its games, the conquering of West High would have made up for all the defeats. The season opened with a game with South High, the city champions in 1919. The team showed its lack of experience and was excited and nervous, South winning 47-7. After this crushing defeat the team made a great comeback and took West High into camp by a score of 14-13. This was one of the closest games imaginable and at no time during the game was there a difference of over three points between the scores of the two teams. Minnesota College was defeated quite easily and the team went down to Shattuck hoping to win, but was easily defeated on the large floor of the “Shads” by a score of 38-8. The Excelsior game was nip and tuck until finally they left the floor, defaulting the game, 2-0. Then followed the St. Paul Academy game in which Blake showed a good offense and won, 41-9. The strong Dunwoody team won, 37-11, at Dumvoody, but Shattuck found the going rough on the Blake floor, winning 27-17. If Warner had been wanting in the Shattuck lineup there is no question but that Blake would have won. for the fast forward was responsible for 15 of the Shattuck points. Deephaven, which the 1919 team found trouble in defeating, was easily defeated. 24-7, and the Academy again fell before Blake, 30-13. The season closed against Dunwoody at Blake. Dunwoody was ahead, 21-6, until near the end of the game, when Blake started a sensational spurt and had scored 9 straight points when the final whistle blew, Blake losing by a score of 21-15. Owen, after acquiring the ability of a running guard, became a valuable player. His shooting in the second half of the second Academy game was very good. Thorpe. Smith and Frost showed good form, the former’s guarding featuring the Blake defense in several games. The prospects for next season look unusually bright. Four letter men will be back: Osborne and Nash, forwards; Frost and Owen. Sprague, a substitute this year, should make a regular position in 1921. His floor work was second 59 only to Osborne’s and he should be a valuable player. With these men back and with the possibility of some more good material entering school next year, it seems that the 1921 team will keep up the good record which this year’s team started. This record of six games won and five lost is all the more remarkable when one considers that at no time was Coach Johnson able to send out his regular lineup. With the season about two-thirds over Captain Howard injured his knee and was unable to take part in any of the later games. This necessitated a changing of players, a thing which is not good for any team. Thorpe was compelled to play center when he did his best work at guard, and R. Nash, too, had to be shifted about in different positions throughout the season. It was probably this changing about that made the play of the teams inconsistent. Osborne, right forward, was without doubt the best all-round player on the team. His floor work in the Dun woody games was especially good and yet at times his shooting was quite erratic. It was not until near the end of the season that he found his eye. R. Nash was the biggest point-getter, but he was slow in covering his man. Captain Howard was decidedly off in shooting, his work in this respect being much lower than the year before. 60 Lower School Basketball The Lower School Basketball Team met defeat the three games it played against St. Paul Academy.

Even though the football and basketball teams had made rather poor showings, prospects were good for a successful baseball season. The 1918 team had made a very creditable record, winning six games and losing but four, and«with five regulars of that team back, the prospects for the 1919 season looked bright. Captain Mintener, Howard, Mills. Stabeck and Beltz were “1� ” men back. Mintener had batted .372 the previous season and had shown great form in the outfield. Howard had pitched steady baseball, and with Mills to round out the pitching staff this part of the battery looked strong. Stabeck had shown himself to be a good hitting outfielder and Beltz, too, had shown flashes of form in 1918. Besides these letter men. Coach R. B. Johnson seemed to have quite a bit of good material to fill out the team. However, from the first things went wrong. The departure of Cook, catcher in 1918, made the development of a new catcher necessary, for both Wells and Cooney, second string catchers of the year before, had left school. Before the season actually began V ince Stabeck seemed to be developing rapidly, but during the season his lack of experience behind the bat showed up more clearly. It was no fault of Stabeck’s, however, for he had been used to the outfield and had never caught before in his life. The loss of Massie at first also contributed greatly to the failure of the team. Best failed miserably at bat. while his fielding was ragged in several games, and so it can readily be seen that with these two important positions occupied by inexperienced men, the chances for a good team went glimmering. There were other causes, too. which helped to make the 1919 season a failure. There was not enough team play. Each member of the team felt his own batting and fielding average a matter of much greater importance than the winning of the games. Then some members of the team refused to play in any position except their favorite position and this complicated matters a great deal. Another reason why the 1919 team never “got started” was that the school itself refused to give proper support to it. A very small percentage of the school attended games, whereas in former years the school turned out as a body at every game. These are only a few of the reasons why the team didn't succeed, but they are sufficient to show the readers of this article that things went wrong from the start, the batting was weak and inconsistent, the fielding was very ragged in several spots, the pitching was not so good as it was in 1918. and finally there wasn't enough co-operation between the members of the team. The season was started against University High on the Blake diamond. This game was lost by a score of 10-8. Eighteen errors and ragged work by the battery tells the story. The next game against St. Paul Academy turned out to be a thriller. It took eleven innings to decide the battle, Blake finally winning. 67 5-4. Pillsbury, scoring nine runs in the first two innings, easily defeated Blake, 10-2, and Dun woody, by knocking Mintener from the box in the first inning, won, 6-4. Minnesota College was easy, but Central won a one-sided game. Then followed defeats by University High and Dunwoody by scores of 8-4 and 7-4, respectively. Blake then won another extra-inning game from the Academy and the Minneapolis Bondmen were defeated, 6-3. The last three games of the season were lost by scores of 14-12, 15-5, and 11-3, against St. Mary’s, West High, and Shattuck, respectively. And so the team ended the season � with nine games lost out of thirteen. One of the most striking things of the season was the inability to start the game right. An examination of the statistics will show that nearly 75 per cent of the runs of the opj osition was made in the first four innings. After the fourth the team played fairly good ball, blit in the early innings everyone was up in the air. Mintener, captain, although naturally an outfielder, was forced to play shortstop throughout the season, and although he made a creditable showing in that position, his absence in the field was keenly felt, for “Brad” is unquestionably one of the greatest outfielders the school has developed. His batting, however, was a big disappointment. He led the 1918 team with an average of .372, but in 1919 his batting fell to a mark of .178. Howard pitched only mediocre ball in most games, but the support rendered him was enough to dishearten anyone. In one respect, at least, Howard made a great record. He fanned 146 men in a little over 90 innings, or an average of over 14 strikeouts per game. In the Shattuck game Ade allowed only three singles and fanned 15, but his own wildness and the bad fielding of the team at critical times made Shattuck win easily. Frost, Beltz and Osborne, playing second at different times, played inconsistently. R. Nash, however, did show good form in the later games in this position. His batting was second only to Stabeck’s. Brooks put up a good fielding game at third, but his batting was only fair. Mills, Confer and Thorpe formed the outfield. Mills was easily the best of the trio. And finally, even though the season wasn’t a success, it afforded good experience for those who wanted it and plenty of enjoyment for the entire team. 68 69 % o COACH AYLWARD NASI!

It was hoped that a team might be developed that could win at least a majority of its games and that might hold the strong teams in fairly good fashion, but as far as hopes for a real strong nine for 1920, it is only right to say that there were none. Outside of Captain Howard, there was no one in the school who had had any real experience on the diamond, although Frost, R. Nash, Osborne and Thorpe had won their B’s. In former years there had always been a few experienced men at least, yet when the 1920 season started there were no infield stars or outfield stars and there was no one in the school that had ever caught in a real game before. And so it was only natural that the team did fail. The defense cracked at critical times, the pitching was not of the best at times, and the batting was very weak. In no game did the Blake batters gather over seven hits off the opposing pitchers. In fact, the team made only a little more than three runs to a game and this average is certainly very low for high school games. Osborne, shortstop, was the only consistent hitter on the team and even his average is not very impressive. The infield, too, was not successful. Possibly the bad condition of the diamond around short and second had something to do with it, but nevertheless it must be admitted that it was unsteady. The injury to Robert Xash's thumb was a severe setback to the team. Sprague, who substituted behind the plate, was weak on his throws to second and as a result the opposition was able to steal bases at will. Therefore, under these conditions, it was no wonder that the 1920 season was not a success. Manager Hoeffler arranged a sechedule of seven games. The bad results of the 1919 team, which played a heavy schedule of 14 games, made it seem proper to play a much smaller schedule and hence to give more attention to each game. After a practice tilt with Hopkins High School, a game which Blake won easily, the season was opened against St. Paul Academy on the Blake diamond. Captain Howard was in fine form and the team went well for the first game, winning by a score of 4-1. University High won, 7-5, in a terribly disappointing game; a ninth inning finish, which almost copped the game, was the only pleasant thing of the game. Next came the Dunwoody game, and the strong Dunwoody team walloped the daylights out of the team by a score of 18-4. The team then journeyed over to the Academy, determined to defeat them again, but they struck a stumbling block in the strong pitching of Sommers and went down to defeat, 5-0. At University High, Blake won a close game, 0-4. Krogness' hitting and Howard’s steady pitching brought home the bacon. The work of the infield in this game was the best it showed during the entire season, an excusable error by Thorpe being the only misplay committed by them. Dunwoody again overwhelmed Blake. 19-2. Hesket, a semi-pro pitcher, was entirely out of our class 75 and only two hits were collected off his delivery. And then on June 2, the Shattuck game was played. Shattuck won, 15-4, simply because of superior all-around work. Howard, although in poor form on the mound, recovered his lost batting eye in this game, slamming a home run and a single out of three trips to the platter. In speaking of the players individually, Captain Howard deserves special mention. His pitching, while perhaps not so strong as in previous years, was on the whole of good quality. Throughout the season he gave a line exhibition of sportsmanship and leadership and he was in the game from start to finish. ()sborne, shortstop, proved to he a steady batter, although his work at shortstop was not quite so steady. At the end of the Shattuck game he was the only batter who had an average of over .500. Thorpe, on the initial sack, showed up well in the field but his batting was very poor. R. Nash injured his thumb, just at the time he was beginning to show promise behind the platter, but he stuck to his job, nevertheless, and caught a gritty game with this injury. Frost, at second, was not steady, but his two-bagger in the Dunwoody game will be remembered. Vinton’s work in the field was easily the best and he improved his batting greatly from last year. Krogness and Smith, the other gardeners, were good at times. Krogness’ batting in the second U. High game was the main factor in the winning of it and Smith caught two nice fiies (in spite of the danger of being walloped with the hammer, which the University track men were practicing with right in his territory). Baxter and Lindley were also used in the field at different times. Sprague was unreliable behind the plate, his throwing being especially weak. Owen, third baseman, was perhaps the steadiest of the infield. His work in the second U. High game was noteworthy and his batting was good at times. Coach Aylward deserves a lot of credit for the interest and enthusiasm he showed in trying to put out a team. It was no fault of his that the team failed to win ball games, but the team themselves. It is certain that if we only had had more experienced ball players he would have turned out a fine team. 74 Tennis THE tennis season of 1920, although not yet finished at the time of writing has been one of the most successful seasons on record. Every one of tlu five matches scheduled was played under perfect weather conditions and on first-class courts. Although beaten three times out of five, the team put up a good fight at all times and always gave the opposition a run for their money. In the first match of the year, the team was defeated by St. Thomas by the score of three to two, the main reason for the defeat being lack of practice. After a week of hard practice the team came back and overwhelmingly defeated St. Paul Academy, winning every match easily. In the first match with Concordia College, Blake lost 5 to 0, but in the second, played on our home courts a week later, Concordia was defeated 3 to 2. The last match up to the time of writing was played with the strong Shattuck team at Blake. Considering the strength and experience of the opposition, a very creditable showing was made as all matches were well contested and close. Shattuck won them all, but had no easy time doing it. One or more matches will probably be played before the Northwestern Interscholastic Tournament, which concludes the season, the most likely opposition being one of the Minneapolis High Schools. A team of three players has been entered in the above mentioned tournament, and with any luck in the draw, should win one or two matches. The team that represented the school consisted of Lindley, J. Willard, C. Nash, and C. Willard. Mr. Blanpied acted as coach and supervised the work on the courts. Due to the efforts of Mr. Barton, a very successful season was enjoyed by the tennis players not on the team. A system of rankings was inaugurated, with the opportunity to improve one’s rank by defeating a player ranked ahead. Much interest and rivalry was shown in improving rankings, and the whole idea was a complete success. 75 Hockey I'TER lying dormant for three years, ice hockey was started up again in 1 the winter of PI20. As soon as the ice was in shape, practice was begun. Although very few had played before, enough turned out to form two teams, from which the team was picked. After a few practices under the tutelage of Mr. Blanpied, the first game was played with St. Paul Academy at the Lexington Rink in St. Paul. A very creditable showing was made, considering the inexperience of the team and the strength of the opposition. The play was hard and fast throughout, with the outcome in the balance until the last minute, when Hersey, St. Paul's star rover, put over the winning goal, which gave St. Paul the game at 4 to 3. As the season was not begun till late, there was time for only one more game. Here again the team went down to defeat, this time before the champions of St. Paul, Central High School. At the close of the regular forty-five minutes of play, Central was ahead, 5 to 0. Another fifteen minutes was played, as it was the last chance of the season, in which Central scored ten goals, but the official score remained 5 to 0. It is hoped that, once started, hockey will continue as a sport at Blake and will not be allowed to die again. There is plenty of material for future teams in the lower forms, and nothing should prevent the school from having good teams in the future. T The line-up of this year's team was as follows: Left Wing Center Right Wing Holmes Wi NTO.N Rover Lindlev (Captain) Ross Right Defense Thorpe Left Defense Hoeffler (ioal Smith Substitutes Case Dalrymple 76 Lower School Hockey THE Lower School Hockey Team was beaten the three games it played with St. Paul Academy. Stewart Sheldon was captain. Our opponents played fast games and had fine team work. Blake did not have any coaching to amount to anything. 77 Lessons After the five o’clock car is in And school for the day is done. And when I go home to niv supper, My thoughts, they turn to fun. I take up the evening paper And look for the shows in town; And then decide the best one. Put on my hat and go down. And when the morning is breaking I begin to think of school: My lessons for the day are not finished, And I call myself a fool. I wonder if I should let them lie ()r get up and do them at once; I always decide on the former one. Then afterwards say I’m a dunce. And when the chapel is over And first period has gone quietly by, And when Mr. Bartlett starts talking, Oh! what a nut was I. And then Mr. Ahvard starts harping When the torture with Latin is done, And says that I’m getting lazy, And I tell him that know, for one. And finally when it is time to go. And the car comes over the hill. I vow to myself, as we go sailing in. That my lessons will not stand still. 78 Laidlaw, ’22. 79 The Senior Council THIS year’s Senior Council did not differ materially in form from that of the previous year. This year the council has been composed of the presidents of the Senior and Junior classes, four Seniors elected by the Senior class, and one Junior elected by the Senior members of the Council. Perry Hoeffler was president of the Fall Council and the other members were C. B. Carlaw, I). K. Rubins, J. R. Thorpe and J. Willard from the Senior class, and J. T. Baxter and C. C. Card from the Juniors. Josiah Willard was chairman of the Spring Council, with C. B. Carlaw, J. P. Iloeffler, I). K. Rubins and J. R. Thorpe of the Seniors, and J. T. Baxter and E. N. Osborne of the Juniors. The Senior Council as a disciplinary body has never been a marked success and this year s' Council cannot be said to have been an exception to the rule. The attempts to enforce discipline were more or less spasmodic, and the real burden of maintaining the discipline was placed where under the present system it undoubtedly belongs, on the faculty. But in cases affecting the morale of the school and as an advisory body the Council has its uses and has passed several beneficial regulations. But the main difficulty in the way of a really efficient Council is the vagueness of its powers and the failure to distinguish between the Council’s jurisdiction and the faculty’s jurisdiction. As it is now there are two disciplinary systems where only one is necessary, and so as a disciplinary body the Council is decidedly superfluous. This year’s Council, whether from inertia or intelligence, has realized this and has let the faculty enforce the school regulations and has confined itself to offering the authorities suggestions, which have been promptly carried out, and to ruling on subjects which were obviously under their jurisdiction, and in this way has justified its existence sufficiently to warrant its continuance in its present form until the day conies when its powers and duties will be clearly defined and it will be supreme in its own sphere, as the faculty is in its. 80 CO InJ C.

WILLARD BAXTER RUBINS WINTON THE BLAKE UNION The Blake Union STARTING out the year with the advantage of a small and efficient membership, the Blake Union has just completed a very successful year which has brought profit and enjoyment to all concerned and which has brought forward one or two innovations. The programs have been almost the same as in previous years and have consisted of debates, declamations, papers, extemporaneous speeches and open discussions. The discussions have been emphasized and hardly a meeting passes without a heated and bitter discussion on some current topic. An innovation was introduced in the form of a debate on a literary instead of a political question, and the question as to whether Lady Macbeth or Macbeth was the guiltier developed one of the most spirited discussions of the year. A humorous debate on the respective merits of Barbour and Shaksperc was another feature. The extemporaneous speeches were more unprepared than ever and in some cases the speaker did not know his subject until he reached the platform. The only outside speaker was Mr. Jager. who spoke on the derivation of languages. The Union offered its usual prizes: the Fifth form declamation medal, a prize for the best story handed in to the Torch, and the best contribution given to the Callopan, and has tried in this way to play a part in the school life and to stimulate speaking and writing. To Mr. Johnson goes a large part of the credit for a successful year and we hope that he will find time to continue his leadership of the Union for many years.

Nash 87 SK CAfcLO The Blake School Dramatic Association IX the productions of the Dramatic Association the past two years a definite purpose has been followed and a definite form adopted; the former is to utilize the ever-present desire of youth to imitate for instructive ends; the latter, tlie one-act vehicle. In common with the public speaking and debating activities of the year, emphasis has been laid on good speaking presence and clear enunciation, rather than upon mechanical gesture and artificial bearing. Furthermore, real progress has been made in the effort to enter into the feelings, motives and complex actions of a character other than one's own, and to approach the requirements of acting as an art rather than as a pastime of school. To the better accomplishment of these ends, the one-act play was chosen as the ideal medium; this for four reasons: First, it gives the greater number the chance to play vital parts, and avoids the viciousness of the “star system; again, and perhaps the most important from the standpoint of art, it doesn't allow the inevitable monotony of the amateur to become transparent, as does the larger form of the drama: in the third place, boys of high school age can comprehend a single dramatic situation as developed in the one-act play and get it across the footlights, whereas a more complex vehicle is beyond their powers, as they have not yet faced or experienced the infinite subtleties of mature existence, and do not know how to portray them. And lastly, and most practical from the standpoint of the school activity, only one day a week is required for rehearsal from December till the presentation of the plays around Easter. This time is taken from the required play-time only during those months when out-of-door exercise is necessarily at the minimum. The co-operation and willingness of the members of the casts have been ideal, and to this alone is due the success that has crowned the Dramatic Association during the past two years. 88 HE Blake School Dramatic Association, in its fifth annual appearance, chose as its program a group of five one-act plays. The one-act play has very evidently come to stay in the field of professional as well as amateur dramatic effort. And its advantage and difficulty for the amateur are about equally divided. The advantage of offering to a larger group than the cast of the average worthwhile play of three- or four-act length could use, the chastening influence of losing individual personalities and wearing another's body, mind, and soul along with grease paint and a wig, perhaps—is something difficult to measure, but none the less valuable. On the other hand, to create in fifteen or twenty minutes that much abused thing known as “atmosphere, and to build a character to a fine completeness is no slight task for the most seasoned and accomplished actor. And the latter was what eighteen boys, by the grace of the Lord, and the scoring of Mr. Whitcomb, had to accomplish on the evening of April 10th at Studio Hall. From the perspective which a month's lapse of time gives to the mere spectator, certain characterizations stand out very finely as attaining very nearly if not entirely the desired point of development set by the faculty director and the players themselves. Henry Crosby, in Gerald von Ettyn’s one-word, one-act play. “Pumps, displayed a delicacy and lightness of femininity only to be seen in the most accomplished of widows; “The Friend of Clellan Card. in I-ord Dunsany’s “Fame and the Poet was another real characterization, and the young actor had ease of stage presence to be envied by many an older toiler before the footlights: Henry Barnes, as the “R. I . Normal of Mr. Whitcomb’s and Mr. Thomas' collaboration, “The Monkey Norm. was a delightfully drawn portrait of the man of one idea and an absent-mindedness which we understand was not wholly assumed; and a high mark was reached in Philip Moeller's satire, “Helena’s Husband, in Fred Clifford's interpretation of the old “Analytikos, while one would go far to find a lovelier “Helen than Leslie Lugsdin’s portrayal. Let it not be thought from these few especially honorable mentions that there were any shirkers in the work of the evening—very far from it. Each play and the players in it moved smoothly and rapidly to climax and conclusion. The program was a well balanced one of three satires, a comedy, and a pleasing little melodrama, “The Test, by Charles G. Stevens. “The Monkey Norm” bristled with clever lines. It was unfortunate that neither author responded to the repeated cries of, “Author! Author! Mr. Whitcomb is to be no less congratulated as co-author of this ingenious satire on modern educational tests than on his very evident efficient directing of the plays. 89 WlNIFRKD T. B LAN FI ED.

Mills’ rapid accumulation of merit badges makes him the leading Scout in number of merit badges required for Eagle Scout.

FOSS LINDLEY CROSBY SMITH HOEFFLER RUBINS WINTON BAXTER THE 1920 CALLOPAN BOARD AT the end of the school year the Callopan is published. It stands as a record of the entire year. The Torch publishes the stories, the accounts of games, and the editorials. The Callopan must show, the best way it can, what has been done by the student body and the masters and trustees. It represents the school s activities from the boy’s point of view. The board this year has tried to faithfully record the effort and sincerity that have been the life of all activities. If we have done this, we are as happy as any. If there are others who feel that the book is not what it might be. that it seems unbalanced or incomplete, then we have achieved our purpose still better. This year was so upset and unbalanced because it was the l eginningof a new spirit, and the laying of a new foundation, that, if we have shown this incompleteness and disorder, in the book, we can say that the Board has succeeded in its failures.

'This growth, creditable in itself, has been made with no advance in the price of subscription, and during a period when the enrollment of the school decreases 30 per cent. The founders of the Torch hoped that it would grow with the school, but it has grown faster than the school and, with an enlarged enrollment which seems due soon, should make an even bigger growth in the next five years. The 1919-20 'Porch has tried to follow the policies of previous boards, making1 such changes and additions as were possible, and the board feels that satisfactory progress has been made. Three new departments have been added— College Notes, Historical, and Book Review. The advertising has increased over 100 per cent and the magazine has averaged over 32 pages a month, excluding advertising, as against 23 of the previous year. There have also been changes in the various departments. The editorial policy has reverted to the one advocated by Mr. Hadden, the founder, namely, that editorials were not to give the writer practise, but to influence student opinion, and so they have dealt with school subjects almost exclusively, and essays on other topics have been placed in the Literary department. The Literary department has, we believe, shown a marked improvement over previous years; the Athletic department has been kept up to the very high standard set last year; the School News department has been improved in some ways, but there is still room for improvement in this department; the Alumni department is far below that of the last two years; while the Exchanges and the Jokes have been up to the standard. That there are numerous defects the Torch realizes only too well. The two outstanding ones this year have, been the lack of contributions from the student body and the too frequent typographical errors. The first can he remedied by the school alone, and with a larger enrollment will remedy itself. For the second, we apologize, and hope that next year’s hoard will be more painstaking. The Torch wishes to thank all who contributed or helped in any way, and particularly Messrs. Thomas, Johnson, and Stauffer, who at various intervals have been faculty advisor. 96 97 LINDLEY RUBINS WILLARD MR. BARTON THE DEBATING TEAM, 1920 98 Public Speaking THE public speaking activities at Blake have been highly successful during the past year. The programs in the school have been varied, interesting, and generally well carried out. In the evening programs the participants have done uniformly well and in a number of cases their work was brilliant. George Dayton, Stanley Xewhall, Harry Robinson, Carson Jamieson, William Strong and Frank Richards deserve special notice for the excellence of their speaking in the Lower School exercises. The members of the Fifth Form were called on to deliver selections from famous orations and as a result some excellent declamations were forthcoming. Bidwell, Laidlaw, Nickels and D. Sprague were the speakers at the Fifth Form declamation contest for the Union Medal. Each of these speakers reflected great credit on his class in the best declamation contest ever held at Blake. Nickels, who delivered Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, was awarded the prize and Laidlaw, who gave, “At the Tomb of Napoleon,” by Ingersoll. secured honorable mention. The annual debate with St. Paul Academy was on the question: “Resolved, That the courts are justified in restraining strikes by the means of injunctions.” Blake chose the affirmative and used this question for the Junior-Senior debate. The Senior team, composed of Rubins, Lindley and J. Willard, Captain, supporting the negative, defeated the Junior team, composed of Crane, C. Willard and H. Crosby. On the basis of this contest J. Willard was awarded the Strieker cup for the best debater of the school, and the entire Senior team, with C. Willard as alternate, was selected to represent the school against St. Paul. In the St. Paul debate, the technical nature of the subject brought in an unfortunate amount of quibbling over interpretation. In the constructive speeches, Rubins and Lindley, although probably the equal of their opponents, failed to measure up to their full ability, and left a margin of difference too great for Willard's excellent speech to cancel. However, the rebuttal speeches of the two former were superior to their opponents and went far towards retrieving the showing made in the first speeches. Willard spoke brilliantly in concluding the debate and it seemed to the audience that he had brought Blake the victory. The unanimous decision of the judges for the affirmative confirmed this conclusion. The essays of Carlaw. Hoeffler. Lindley, Rubins, Smith and J. Willard were the six best submitted by the Seniors in competition for the Williams prize. These boys were then eligible to compete in the final contest. This contest was held April 24th. The contestants were judged on the content of their respective essays and their manner of delivery. Carlaw’s excellent essay arguing for the return of Shantung to China was delivered in a masterful manner and secured 99 ®'' CAllLOSk.dl 3 first prize. J. Willard delivered an essay on “D'Annunzio which was pronounced the best essay by a high school boy ever heard bv the judges. This won second prize. Lindlcy's critical essay on the arguments against the award of Shantung to Japan received third prize. Essays on the “Rehabilitation of Belgium,” by Rubins; “Samuel Gompers. by Smith, and “Leonard Wood, by Ilceftler, were also well written and delivered. The contest for the Thorpe cup in extemporaneous speaking on some phase of Minnesota has not been held at this writing. The contestants for this cup are, H. Crosby. Osborne, Wakefield, and C. Willard. These boys will undoubtedly maintain the new high standard of excellence established by the school's public programs of this year. E B. 100 101 li'i'CALLO The Junior-Senior Dance THE Annual Dance given bv the Junior Class to the departing Seniors was held on the evening of June 13, 1919. It was one of the most enjoyable and best attended Junior-Senior ever held. A great many Alumni, just home from college, were there and helped to make it the success it was. The ceiling of the gymnasium was concealed by the usual brown and white bunting, which, together with the usual Japanese lantern illumination, gave the room a very pleasing effect. The orchestra, an excellent one, was concealed by palms at the far end of the gym. A delicious supper was served towards the end of the dance, while the punch was flowing continuously throughout. The committee deserves great credit for the excellent manner in which the affair was managed. The Committee: L. P. Lugsdin, J. P. Laird, B. S. Bull, Jr. The Christmas Dance, 1919 THE Christmas Dance was held on the evening of December 22, the date being postponed three days to allow time for the Alumni to arrive home. ()wing to the heavy snow on the roads out to the Senior School, it was decided to hold the dance at the Junior School. The large room was decorated with pennants and Christmas trees, which gave the room a holiday appearance. The music and the punch were excellent, and the affair was a complete success. The Committee: A. D. Lindley, Chairman J. X. WINTON, J. T. Baxter, Jr. 102 WICMIO EAE L WEltiffi3 Senior Dinners and Parties Following the custom of previous years, a Senior dinner was held the first Monday of each month at the Senior School. A definite program was followed in arranging for the speakers, the idea being to have a series of talks on the various professions and businesses. This plan was carried out very successfully through the efforts of Mr. Johnson in procuring the speakers. The dinners served were excellent, thanks to the careful management of Miss Phillips, and were thoroughly enjoyed by the class. The first real Senior Party was held on the afternoon and evening of February 6. It was a pure “outdoor” party from start to finish. Arriving in cars during the afternoon, the time before supper was spent in skating, sliding, and skiing. A simple but hearty supper was served about 6:15, after which a game of indoor baseball was started, which consumed the time till the bob arrived for the sleighride to town. The affair was a success from start to finish and everyone went home tired but happy. Mr. and Mrs. Ward C. Burton acted as chaperons. On May 8, a formal dance was held at the country school. The party began at Carl Nash's house, where the class was entertained at a delightful dinner. Transportation to the school was made in cars, and the dance was begun about 9 o’clock. The punch, music, and refreshments were all excellent, and it was not without reluctance that the party broke up at twelve. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Blanpied very kindly chaperoned the party. 103 Athletic Banquets HE Football Team and squad were given three dinners this year. The first was a delightful duck dinner given by Mrs. Van Slyck in the middle of the season. Dr. Tennyson was the next host. The whole squad was entertained by him at the Odin Club. Coach Johnson, Capt. Thorpe, lloeffler. Smith and Mr. R. B. Johnson all spoke informally, all vying with each other to see who could get off the best jokes. The Annual Banquet was held at the school at the close of the season. Coach Johnson, Capt. Thorpe and Capt-elect Krogness spoke on the past season and on next year’s prospect. Mr. R. B. Johnson also reviewed the season, showing how the team had improved during the course of the season and complimenting Coach Johnson very highly on the manner in which he developed a team out of the green material he had to work with. Mr. F. P. Nash very kindly entertained the basketball team at the Athletic Club after the season had ended. After dinner, the team went to see the Battery A team play. A very enjoyable time was had. Acting Capt. Thorpe was our host at the second basketball dinner, this time the whole squad being invited. 10+ fiftCMLO fill CALLO The Better Way C) Junior Blake, the time is here. The saddest, merriest, of the ear: The saddest, for with aching heart From thy dear halls we soon must part. But ere we go let mcm'ry’s voice Proclaim thy worth, thy prudent choice Of teachers, who through livelong day E'er taught to us The Better Way. The Better Way for us to work, To play, to think, and never shirk The call of Duty, e’er so stern. But meet it face to face, and learn How strong a thing in life is truth, That in it lies the power for Youth To weigh the fleeting, airy themes Of which are woven boyish dreams. The Better Way for us to keep Ambition high, and e'er so steep To help us climb the heights of Worth That overlook the smiling earth. Farewell, farewell. O Junior Blake! Farewell, dear teachers, we shall take Thy precepts with us, that we may Know how to choose The Better Way. The day is merriest, for we hear The summer call, with buoyant cheer. To get our fishing lines and hooks And test her silv’ry lakes and brooks: Or tramp her meadows green and fair, And prairies sweet with perfumed air, Or rove at eve where all is still Save cry of owl or whippoorwill. But greater tar are other joys That beck and call to real Blake boys; For well we know a wider sphere Awaits us in the future near; And to prepare for that event Our mind on stately hall is bent That calls, from brow oi wooded hill. “Come up to Blake!”—“We will, we will.” And there, within that structure fair. Shall masters kind help us prepare For still another field of thought. Where learning’s higher aims are taught. On. on. we'll give the college yell And storm Minerva’s heights pell-mell; We’ll win; for lo. our banners say Blake taught to us The Better Way. —BY A JUNIOR BLAKE FATHER. 106 107 The Senior Room (With apologies to Macbeth) SCENE—Senior Room TIME—Present (A great quantity of wearing apparel covering all objects in the room.

C. ♦ New Evidences of a Very Peculiar Civilization Existing In North Dakota During the First of the Twentieth Century A. D. By Prof. I. Scratchgravel The recent discoveries of Prof. I. Scratchgravel have cast a light upon a heretofore dark space in our historical records of ancient times. His article, illustrated by extracts from his wealth of collected material, is a great revelation to the scientific world. His excellent description of the discovery follows. Fellow scientists, it gives me great pleasure to share with you the results of the wonderful discovery which 1 made while excavating upon a high mound a short distance from the populous city of St. Appolis. As my machinery was biting into the crush of Mother Earth I stood watching and wondering what gift the gods had in store for me. My answer came sooner than I imagined. The shovels refused to move even when given the full power of the energy removers. At once 1 investigated and found an impregnable mass constructed of crudely fabricated bricks. After rearranging my machinery I found that I had uncovered the corner of a large T-shaped building, the roof of which was soon exposed to my gaze. I forced my way into the top fioor of this storehouse of mysteries through a hole in the roof made by my shovels. Within I found a wealth of artistic, scientific, literary, and historical material. All things proved that this edifice had been devoted to that barbaric custom of penning the young together for purposes of ‘‘education under the guidance of hired pedagogues. How crude this method is when compared with that of our enlightened age. Instead of following this cruel method of compulsory stuffing of the young mind we follow a better system. Our scions are instructed by a Master Mind who transmits portions of his great knowledge to them by means of telepathy. To show you 111 C— iri_________________bI BfifiCAiSLO -k:::1II!32S®I2 a what the student of a few hundred decades ago underwent I will outline to you a model day of school which I have been enabled to make after consulting the school catalogue. (Written in wretched Knglish.) The students were forced to appear at an unholy hour of the morning prepared for a day’s turmoil and struggle. A few minutes were devoted to religious devotions. (This 1 consider the one commendable feature of the program.) After that they went to different rooms where their instructors catechised them upon their different lessons. Their questions and answers were communicated by means of harsh mouthings similar to those of the beasts of the lower orders. Three hours were devoted to this, after which they were given a respite during which they satisfied their hunger by stuffing themselves with messes which, according to the then prevalent theories of nutrition, were very efficient. I found several half petrified lumps which proved to be potatoes locked in a safe in the cooking room. Oh! why did human beings abuse themselves with such things when they might have received much more nutrition from food tablets abounding in life and energy? But to continue. After this feeding period the young were left to their own devices for a half-hour, usually devoted to animalistic exercise. They then returned to labor for about two hours more. Any sensible organization would be satisfied with wasting the children’s time this long and then giving them their freedom. But no! These people went farther and made the young martyrs change their habiliments to those suited to outdoor exercise such as idiotically hitting small spheres around, fighting for the possession of larger ones, or scampering over the fields in indecently abbreviated attire. After that came the crowning horror of a day of horrors. They were forced to take a hath! in water! sprayed on them through fine nozzles. This custom of exercise resulted in the abnormal muscular development noticeable in the respected Dr. Dissectem’s splendid specimens. From this gruesome spectacle let us turn to a more congenial subject. During my exploration of the edifice 1 found three rooms that specially interested me. I will describe them in order of interest. First in my estimation was a room decidedly alluring to my taste, a library. It was decorated by mural paintings of men then famous. Shelves of books were attached to the walls. Among these volumes were histories long forgotten, literature, and science. On several shelves at one side were magazines, mostly uninteresting except for one entitled “The Jack o’ Lantern,” whose illustrations would fill an artist with sorrow because of the great loss which they have sustained. 1 am now preparing a work upon the data gathered in this room and the next which I entered. This second room was evidently a laboratory, since it was equipped with chemicals, some of which assaulted my unsuspecting nose with unmentionable odors. It is not human to leave such traps for innocent investigators, so I feel certain that these disgusting emanations which were bottled up in this room must have been used as punishment for misdemeanors upon the students by their gaolers. After this experience I took great pains to protect my olfactory nerve 112 fiMiCA fcLQ while examining the other contents of this room. Among the various chemicals on the shelves 1 found a substance long forgotten to our men of science, alcohol! This called to my mind a book 1 had seen in the library named, “An Exposition and Protest Against Prohibition, by Waterless Joys Bryan. Temptation assailed me and I took one little sip. I’ll never take another. With my head reeling dizzily 1 steered my course to the third room and subsided into an easy chair. This room was comfortably furnished with easy chairs and a large desk. L’pon this desk was a jar filled with some brown finely shredded material. Beside the jar was a pile of peculiar things made with an open bowl into which a hollow stem extended. Mechanically I picked one up from the pile and filled it with the brown stuff and lighted it. It did not seem to burn well so I placed the stem into my mouth and drew my breath through it. Ye Gods! I have never experienced such a delightful sensation. Surprised at myself, but perfectly happy, I picked up a magazine which, from its title, was The Torch, A Literary Firebrand. After reading a vitriolic editorial starting, “Vote for Nosepaint, ' and ending, “so, my friends, I advocate this man because the first plank in his platform is, 1 stand for the unrestricted use of raisins in the home’, I turned to the Athletics section and read an excellent report upon a baseball game and found to my surprise that I understood it perfectly. Knowing that my scientific friends would be interested in it I have printed it just as it was in the magazine. As you go along, note the language as characteristic of the times. The article follows: “COMEDY OF ERRORS WON BY Dt’X WOODY —On Friday, the 14th of May. the Dun woody and Blake baseball teams rendered a fine presentation of William Shakespeare’s play, entitled the ‘Comedy of Errors.' It should be stated, however, that most of the comedy of this famous play was put in by the boys from Hopkins. In one inning, the fifth, the Dun-woodv baseballers were so frequent on the path that for a time it was feared that the traffic cops would have to be called in order to avoid any severe congestion. Bob Xash. catching for Blake, should be raised to the majors .after the fine practise he had throwing to second. In fact, Howard had to keep both his eyes open so as to avoid being hit by the throws, they were so frequent. In the fourth inning, after letting one of Howard’s Hopkins Specials float by his head. Catcher Chesla of Dunwoody bingled one on the nose and the ball finally fell, bruised and whimpering, on the other side of the parade grounds, and incidentally he paraded around the diamond gloriously for committing such a crime. After a fifteen-minute wait Lindlev succeeded in getting the ball back to the diamond, amid great applause by the onlookers. The Blake infield acquitted itself nobly in several instances. With one man morgued in the second and two runners eagerly awaiting a chance to score, Hcskett of Dunwoody knocked a liner at Smith. Smith couldn't duck so he had to put up his mitt to protect himself, but 113 woe! the pellet returned to the earth and the Dunwoody score became larger. Howard, pitching for Blake, pitched about three full games during the melee. He was on the mound for about two hours and a half and said after the game that it was a tough life. Winton banged out three clean singles and also made a startling catch. After tripping over four or five trenches and overrunning the ball, he startled the crowd by grasping the sphere before it was beyond his reach. After watching Lindley play one of the fastest fielding games imaginable, Mr. R. B. Johnson told the Blake left fielder that although he didn't wish to make any suggestions, nevertheless tennis was a pretty fair game after all. On the whole Blake played a very consistent game (consistently rotten) and with plenty of practise they are liable to turn the world upside down.” I wish to tell you of another interesting paper which 1 found. It was much worn and showed signs of having changed hands often. I found it in an old text book (later discovered to belong to a certain Rubins). This printed sheet was evidently the result of some election. It is very poorly printed and seems to have been done on some kind of crude hand machine. But to return to the contents. Here we are able to find names that we have come across before in our research and it gives us a little insight into the character of that strange group and gives the investigation something of a human touch. The first result seems to place the “Most Popular as a certain Thorpe (8), while Rubins and Smith with four each tied for second place. The placing of numbers after the names probably shows the votes each received. Although there is tremendous opposition to this theory I will disregard it and proceed with my own interpretation. The “Rubins” here mentioned presents a difficulty. He is mentioned as the “Most Radical” and the verdict is unanimous. If. then, such a person as he possessed such radical ideas as to be unanimously elected, why can we find no trace of his teachings or writings? None of our present-day theories can be traced back to any semblance of the name. Along with this we also noticed that one “Carlaw,” given the place as “Best Author” by twenty votes, has failed to develop. At least we have no writings accorded to his name. But it is entirely possible that an “Alexandrian library” exists containing his works. One Nick Carter followed with nineteen votes (no trace of him). Tarkington came in a bad third with three. Let us read farther into the paper. It abounds with contradiction. Hoetfier is voted the Worst Kicker, “The Loudest,” “The Most Modest,” and The Longest Winded (unanimously). A queer character he must have been! He was voted second as the “Quietest. a close second to Carlaw. (There is a note here reading Author of ‘Grand Pa Steps Out.’ ” Carlaw comes in again as second with eleven votes as the “Laziest.” Perhaps this hampered his writing.) One Howard is first with fourteen votes (we assume this to be the identical one frequently mentioned in baseball accounts). Carlaw is again mentioned as the 114 “Slowest” with one vote. (This probably decreased bis production to such an extent that his pen produced practically nothing.) But one Willard bests him with eight votes, while Page leads the field with the great score of nine. Next is a vote on the “Handsomest.” (This suggests an interesting phase in the character of these people.) Smith was given eleven, Frost six. and Howard three. The next group is a long line of related ballots. Thorpe was voted as the “Best Football Player,” with thirty votes, to say nothing of McCusick with one. Howard seems to be the “Best Baseball Player,” with twenty-six votes, Osborn and Clifford (who is also mentioned as the “Best Sport”), follow with six and one respectively. The “Best Basketball Player” is Osborne with twenty-nine and Thorpe with four, while Lindley must have been the only hockey player. Here we return to Carlaw, who carries off the palm as “Greatest Fusser” with sixteen votes. (Good Lord! What a character lie must have been.) Under the same head with him Winton receives seven, and Card three ballots. To end our discoveries about Carlaw we find him possessing five votes as Most Humorous,” but sadly outclassed by Velie (we do not know much about this person but believe he must have been marvelous to beat such a one as Carlaw). Next comes a list of various celebrities. In the voters estimation the Best Actor” is Stone with seventeen. Sothern, thirteen, and Jack Reid, three. Mitzi is awarded the laurel wreath as the best actress with fourteen votes and Marlowe has but eight. The favorite “Movie Actor seems to be “Wally’’ (17), and no noticeable opposition. The next seems a bit personal, but after so many years it may be safely printed. Since the heading is effaced, I am at a loss as to its meaning, but believe it to be a list of the favorite feminine surnames of the time. It follows: In regard to education we find that the favorite college is Yale sixteen, Dartmouth eleven, Princeton and Smith three each. The favorite school seems to be Summit sixteen, Xorthrup eleven, and North High two. (A note here by Velie reads, Why do compasses point north?”) Barton shows a clean pair of heels as the “Handsomest” (perhaps this accounts for the vanity of the younger generation). He got twenty-one votes, “C. W.” five (starred and underlined in the original), Foss (unanimously the “Most Sarcastic”) three, and Lucas two. The Favorite Teacher” is “R. B.” (10), Foss (8), and.Aylward (7). We conclude from this that the old method of education originated by Socrates was then in vogue. The vote for the president was recorded as follows: Wood (18), Hoover (14), and Lowden (3). Right on top of this Willard is the “best speaker.” This vote shuts out completely Wood. Hoover, and Lowden. The final ballot on Norma Wanda Bebe . 14 7 3 115 ffi i CALLO the paper is to decide who was the “Best All-Round Man. The result is tabulated below: Ed ............................. 23 Mattson ......................... 7 Tennyson ........................ 5 Clifford ........................ 1 A friend who was reading these lines centered his attention upon a different line of athletics, basketball. To please him 1 decided to give a short description of the game. The players rivaled the “Jacko illustrations in attire. Personally I believe the age to have been one of great immorality. The object of the game was to knock as many of the opponents unconscious as possible and incidentally toss an inflated sphere through a ring attached to the wall above the participants’ heads. What a dreadful age! Xo sense of modesty worth mentioning, cruelty and physical struggle considered a high art! I thank the lucky stars, that in their celestial orbit control our destinies, for placing me in a time where I am safe from physical exertion. During my investigations I found that I spent more and more of my time dreaming in the room of rest, where I found the smoking tools. Whenever there was a moment to spare I went there and breathed the endlessly blissful fumes. It was when here that familiar spirits surrounded me and tried to communicate their thoughts. As time went on I felt more and more inclined to believe that during some former incarnation my soul had been one of the guiding spirits of the institution. I must excuse myself for engaging in such lowly and cruel pursuits. At the time of mv former existence the people did not know anything of the prevailing wisdom of today and so were satisfied with what they had. To be sure of my theory I consulted my ouija board and found that my name had been Xoah Edwin Wilfred Johnson-Stuffer. What a terrible appellation for the man who is Ichnabodious Scratchgravel. Doctor of Earth-delving! This is too much !- - !- — ♦-!-!-! (Note—Here the worthy professor seemed to weaken and lose control of himself and broke into profane utterances that would have been the pride of a certain man of our acquaintance who is a firm believer in the very athletics so abhorred by the professor.) m _1 116 Prize Winners Honorable Mention Prizes, consisting of books, suitably inscribed, are offered by the Trustees annually for distinction in scholarship, improvement, etc. Silver cups have been presented to the School by Messrs.

Do you want to put “pep” in your step? Then — occasionally take Salinos! Do you want to “wake-up”—to become a 100% man or woman? Again we suggest, occasionally take Salinos! Do you want to improve your complexion?—take Salinos! Most of that “tired feeling”—most of those “blue days”—most of your “lack of nerve” and “discouragement” comes, not from the head—but sad to say, from the condition of the stomach and bowel! We eat too much at a meal, or consume improper combinations of food. Then trouble begins. Chemical action produces pernicious poisons. This kills our nerve gives us a headache—unfits us for either pleasure or business. Now— corrects our eating mistakes. Salinos is a remarkable combination of four well known salts. It is an effervescent laxative or cathartic according to quantity taken. It clears up the poisonous condition of stomach and bowel, and brings body and mind back to normal. Salinos is endorsed and prescribed by thousands of physicians. It’s safe. It’s satisfactory. Every user of Salinos likes its results. Your own druggist undoubtedly keeps it. Ask him to send you a medium-size bottle. You'll feel made-over.” You’ll almost “remove mountains.” Yes — Salinos actually puts “pep” in your step. LEO SHAPIRO COMPANY MINNEAPOLIS. U. S.
