The class first began its career in a little red brick house at 1803 Hennepin avenue. Four of the class. Baxter. Crane, Osborne and Stabeck, first became acquainted here with Blake, its life and the things for which it stands. From then until now, the class has striven to uphold and heighten, if possible, those standards. Through the years when everything was bright we did our best for Blake, and when the outlook was dark and gloomy wc co-operated with the headmaster to make things come out all right in the end for Blake. We have shared in her defeats as well as in her triumphs. It was a happy day in our lives when we first entered the country school. We were young and our minds were filled with curiosity and excitement. In the lower school we were represented on all the teams, and made a very creditable showing for ourselves, both on the athletic field and in the classroom. Our scholastic record there is one of which we are very proud. We were still quite young and flippant when we entered the up| cr school as Freshmen in the fall of 1917. That fall the third football team was composed mostly of members of the Class of 1921. Blake has never had a better third team than was had that year. We had a splendid record, suffering only one defeat out of seven games. It was very evident that before long the Class of 1921 could be depended upon for material for the athletic teams. During the winter we organized a basketball team which made a good showing. However, we spent most of our time studying and set a high standard that year which has never been lowered during the four years wc have been in the upper school. In the spring, baseball was the favorite sport. We organized a team and played a series of games with the Sophomores. Although younger and less experienced than our opponents, we made a good showing. The next fall we came back as Sophomores. We were no longer Freshmen. We had grown a little older, were more conscientious and began to take our work more seriously. We were represented on the football team by Wilson and Stabeck. The second team was made up largely of members of the Class of 1921, helping the first team a great deal. During the winter basketball claimed our attention as there was no hockey team. We formed a class team and a series of games was held between all the classes. We won second place. 14 lhGC( 11opat , Spring came, and the majority of the class got the baseball fever. The second team was composed mostly of the Class of 1921. Osborne and Frost succeeded in winning their letters. When we came back to school with our Junior year ahead of us, for the first time we had a chance to help in the various activities in school life outside of athletics, and we looked forward to this with great hopes. There was the council where two Juniors would try to learn something of their duties in this important body. Baxter and Osborne were the 1921 council members. Two Juniors, as in years gone by, will serve on next year's council. 'This seems a wise plan, for it gives the Juniors some voice in school affairs and teaches them the responsibilities and importance of the council. The two publications always require some Juniors. Members of ’21 who helped light the Torch were, Crosby, Willard and Ross. Osborne. Baxter, Crosby, Willard and Ross were elected to the Blake Union. We were even more outstanding in our athletic achievements. On the football team were, Tennyson, Krogness, Card and Frost. These men showed up very well all through the season and greatly added to the strength of the 1920 football team. Krogness was elected captain for the following year. Also representing us on the baseball team were, Osl orne. Krogness and Frost. Osborne was elected to lead the team for the following spring. Although this season was not the most successful possible, still the Junior members helped in what success it did have. Two members of the basketball team, Osborne and Frost, were in our class. Osborne, while still a Junior, was voted the best basketball player in Blake. Willard was the 21 member on the tennis team. There being only four members, this was a creditable representation. In the annual presentation of one-act plays, six Juniors had roles. The Junior-Senior dance was said by all to be one of the best dances ever given at the school. This was managed entirely by our class. Throughout the entire Junior year, the Class of 1921 was helping in all activities of school life to keep the standard of Blake high. In the literary field we have also been prominent, although there are not many in the class who have literary talent. In the other classes there has been someone who could write good stories for the Torch and Callopan. Velie is the only member of last year's Torch Board at school this year. There was no one in the class this year who could furnish stories, so we have all given our hearty sup-|X)rt in getting out the Torch and Callopan, making up for our lack of material. The Senior Council is another organization that has improved under the leadership of the Class of 1921. We realize that it is not perfect, but we feel that it has l cen better this year than it has ever been and that it has done more for the school this year than it has done in past years. 15 lkGC( 11opat . In dramatics, the Class of 1921 has taken a great part, producing the best actors that Blake has ever had. This year almost every member of the class took a leading role in one of the plays. Last fall we came back to school as dignified Seniors. We were glad that it was to be our last year, but at the same time we were sorry to leave Blake, which had been the scene of many a struggle. Since it was to be our last year, we wanted to make a better showing than ever. With this in view, we settled right down to work and have done our utmost throughout the whole year. Do or die has been our motto the entire year. The football team last fall is the only championship team in the history of Blake. Seven of the players of the team were Seniors. These players were, Captain Krogness, Frost, Osborne, Velic, Lugsdin, and Stabeck. The basketball team this winter was not quite as successful as the football team in the number of games won, but still we had a good season. Captain Osborne, Frost and Krogness were the Senior members of the team. I'nder Captain Osborne, the outlook for the baseball team seems very bright. Osborne, Frost and Krogness are veterans of last year’s team. These men are the mainstays of the team, and with them as such, Blake should have a good team. The Blake Union has taken a keen interest in the affairs of the Class of 21. Almost every member in the class is a member of that dignified and honorable society. It has helped the members of ’21 a great deal in their speaking. We realize we are not perfect, although we have tried manfully to reach the high degree of perfection for which Blake stands. How well we have succeeded is not for us to say. you must be the judge. As wc step out of the ranks of the student body into the Alumni, there comes to us an intermingled feeling of regret and joy. Regret for the passing of the old. Joy for the coming of the new. This, then, is the history of the Class of '21. To you it is a chapter added to the history of Blake. To us it is the prologue to Life. 16 M. X. STABECK Company, villainous company, hath been the spoil of me. JOHN THOMAS BAXTER, JR.

The officers elected for the first half year were: Robert Hastings, President; Norton Sudduth, Vice-President: Clellen Card, Secretary and Treasurer. The class of 1922 has been one of the most representative Junior Classes in the history of the school, the VI Form this year being outstanding in all school activities, victorious in all contests. In athletics the class has made itself prominent. Six of its members had regular positions on the football team, and three out of five players on the school basketball team were juniors. Xo less prominent have they been on the baseball team. An unusual victory was the Junior-Senior debate, in which the Juniors won. The Strieker Cup was awarded to one member of the team, while two won places for the Blake-St. Paul Academy debate. In the plays presented this year by the Dramatic Association, eight Juniors had important roles. The class advisor, Mr. Whitcomb, was coach for these productions, which were put on most successfully. The class of 22 has also been well represented in the Blake Union, and on the Torch and Callopan boards. The mid-year elections resulted in Horace Nickels being chosen as President; Shubcl Owen, Vice-President; and Robert Baldwin, Secretary and Treasurer. The class has grown in strength and numbers during the year, and gives promise of upholding the traditions of the school as worthy Seniors. We wish to thank Mr. Whitcomb, our faculty advisor, for the interest he has shown in the class, and for the helpful advice he has given us. Horace Nickels, President. 29 a. opatx. FIFTH FORM In the fall of 1920, although handicapped by the loss of four of our old members, we came back to school with the determination to make the class of l‘ 23 a success in spite of its small size. We organized by electing the following officers: Leo Pflaurn, president; Philip McCaull, vice-president, and Harold Melgaard, secretary and treasurer. For our size we were quite well represented on the football squad. I lout in and McCaull making it. During the winter term one of our classmates, Huntington, was elected to the Torch board. In the cast for the dramatic plays we had Pflaurn and McCaull. Our class was ranked second in the class basketball series. The second election of class officers to serve until June were: Philip McCaull. president: Herbert Boutin, vice-president, and George Huntington, secretary and treasurer. All of our class except Mattson went out for the fifth form declamation contest. Boutin, Huntington and Merrit were all on the baseball squad. To our advisor. Mr. Aylward, we owe much gratitude for his assistance throughout the whole year. 30 FOURTH FORM At the beginning of the year the fourth organized with the following: Donald Newhall, president; George Dayton, vice president; Stewart Sheldon, secretary and treasurer. We elected Mr. Cleveland class advisor. During the fall term a football team was organized, but we didn’t have a very successful season. Our class was well represented on the football team, having Giles, Gilfillan and Stedman on the squad. Giles won his letter. When we came hack from vacation we elected F. Wells, president; George Dayton, vice president; F- Wells, secretary and treasurer. In the interclass basketball series the fourth ended in last place. We played some very close games, however, with the sophomores and seniors. After the Easter vacation we elected the following officers: D. Newhall, president; Hewitt, vice president; E. Strout, secretary ami treasurer. The fourth form is very much indebted to Mr. Cleveland, who has been our constant guide, and for the help he has given us at all times during the school year. Donald New haul. President. 31 Lower School This year all the classes in the Lower School have been organized. For the fall term, the presidents were: Sudduth for the Third Form, Robinson for the Second Form, and Carnahan for the First Form. All three presidents were re-elected for the winter term. The spring term elections are just being held. In the fall, the most important thing seemed to be to organize a football team to play St. Paul Academy. Three games were played with St. Paul Academy and one with Kenwood School of Minneapolis. The first game with S. P. A. was a struggle from start to finish, it finally ending in a 0 to 0 tie. The second game was played on a wet and slippery field. The game ended with the score 12 to 0 in favor of S. P. A. The third game was, to us, the best game of all. Blake winning, for the first time in alxnit five years, by a score of 7 to 6. Blake won the game with Kenwood by a large score. During the winter, the Second and Third Forms got up a dance at the Junior School, which was a great success. Fine spirit is l eing shown by the Lower School baseball candidates this year, and we hope to beat S. P. A. S. New iiall. 32 THE ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD Athletic Association President Edward X.

Nash Treasurer Mr. Lucas Advisor Mr. IIorne Report of Athletic Advisory Board Two outstanding occurrences have featured the work of this year’s administration: first, the appointment of the physical director, Mr. Horne, as advisor of the Hoard: and second, the kind gift of the Dramatic Association, which sent the baseball team down to Milwaukee. Aside from the above-mentioned, the Hoard has pursued it natural course. Economy has been necessary in spite of the eight dollar tax. All requirements, however, have been satisfactorily met. and the funds have been left in good shape for the work of next year. E. Osborne, President. .15 IIOKNP.

Review of the 1920 Football Season THE most successful football season that Blake lias enjoyed for a long time if not in all her history has passed into the annals of the school. Unbeaten, scored on but once in six games, the 1920 football team has established a record of which the school is justly proud. In the past few years we have had to be content with winning about half of our games, considering the season very successful if we split even on our schedule. Supporters of the school teams had begun to think that Blake could not get out a winning team any more and that this year would be no exception to other years. But they did not take into consideration the fact that Coach Horne was back of Blake. This fact was brought to their attention first when twelve aspirants for the team left for training camp at Hubert, Minnesota. September sixth. This camp was conducted in the way best suited to prepare the men for the coming season. For the first few days only light work was done. The time was spent mostly on the fundamentals of football, such as falling on. and carrying the ball. Hikes and runs were taken frequently. A regular schedule for the day’s work was followed and none but the healthiest of food was served. The team progressed rapidly, and before the time to leave had come, indulged in scrimmage. The evenings were spent in games or reading, and toward the end, football rules were discussed and explained. The benefits of this camp were shown by the way the men who had attended it surpassed those who had not. Twenty-three men answered Coach Horne’s call at the beginning of school. He was helped by the return of eight letter men from last year's team, but the majority were light and inexperienced in the game. Two teams were formed and before long, hard scrimmage was begun. Although the first team outweighed and were much more experienced than the second, yet the latter gave the team a lot of good practice and was a great aid in the development of a winning eleven. Manager Crane had arranged a schedule of six' games. West second team. Hopkins, St. Thomas Prep..’’ Wayzata. U. High, and St. Paul Academy were played in order. The first game always draws interest as everyone is anxious to size up the team. Blake came out of the game on the heavy end of a 28-0 score. The next game with Hopkins weakened the team rather than strengthened it because we were sure of winning before the game started. The team rolled up sixtv-eight points to their opponents’ none. But the first real test of the team’s strength came with the St. Thomas game. As “Mike” said. If you win this game the season is going to be successful.” It was the critical time. Was this season going to Ik a repetition of last? It was not. The score was 14-7 in favor of Blake. But as soon as one critical 41 3ikGC(Qllepat . point was passed safely, another sprang up. The Wayzata game, although our holding of the long end of 70-0 score would indicate otherwise, was most disastrous. The game was played in miserable fashion and the team had no pep at all. This was particularly alarming as the I . High game was next on the schedule. The week of practice previous to this game was not of the best. But L'. High bowed to the team and allowed twenty-eight points to be marked against them. Then came the final game of the year, with St. Paul Academy. This is the big game of the year for both schools and the success of the season is usually based on the outcome. It must be admitted that our team was a little too confident of the result when they went into the contest and were rather taken back by the stiff opjjosition of the Academy team. However, with a perfect record almost within its grasp the team was not to he denied and in the last period clinched the game for Blake. The score was 8-0. That is the story of the season with its various ups and downs. We look back now. smile at things which looked desperate at the time and indeed were desperate. Yet, each time the team emerged safely from battle and always on the heavy end of the score. Now we shall turn to the individual members of the team and pay them the honor which is due. We will first speak of the captain of the team, Krogncss, who by his spirit and devotion helped the team so much. Besides playing in his position as guard in worthy fashion, he did all the goal kicking and missed only two chances out of thirty-two which is a wonderful record. Tennyson at center played a consistent game all the way through the season and was one of the bulwarks of the line. Sprague, the other guard, always played a good game and few plays gained through him. Owen and Lugsdin, the two tackles, played consistent games and starred in their positions. The ends, Velie and Osborne, certainly held down their positions well and both made good gains when called on to earn’ the ball. Nash, at quarter, developed into one of the brainiest players Blake has ever seen, and although handicapped by his lightness, used his brains to take the place of brawn. In the backfield, Card and Stabeck seem to tie each other for first honors, with Frost close behind. Stabeck. with his remarkable ability for picking holes, and Card with his line plunging, are aliout equal. Frost, while not quite up to his two team-mates, was fast improving and played a remarkable game in the St. Paul contest. The team was well balanced and developed a spirit and team-work that could not l e beaten. This review would be incomplete without the story of the scrubs. A good deal of credit for the successful season must rightly l e given to these men who gave the first team its practice. The second team had the same signals as the first team and every member of it was trained so that he could take the place of a first team man if called on. The success of this training was shown in the St. Paul 42 rkeC(QllGpQI . game when Hastings, after Nash’s injury, went in at quarter and piloted the team in notable fashion through the rest of the game. McCaull and Giles also got their chances in this game. Hastings and Giles won their letters. And now we turn to the cause of this success and wonderful spirit. Coach “Mike” Horne. His services were invaluable and it would probably not be going too far to say that he was the main factor in the season’s success. His devotion to the team, the fighting spirit he injected into it, and his advice cannot be overestimated. Mr. Lucas, his assistant, also deserves praise for the way he helped the coach and devoted his time to the second team especially. Looking into the prospects of a successful season next year we are well pleased, for we see the return of at least six letter men and several who came near getting their letters. We are sure that Captain Card will have plenty of material for his team. 43 jjCfrv ro «S Ae- 51UU Tv.it Caril 44 Lower School Football It has been the custom of the Lower School for several years to compete with the Lower School of St. Paul Academy in an annual football series. Although this recent season ended in a tie, it was perhaps the most successful for Blake in five years. Enough credit cannot l e given to the team’s coach. Mr. Aylward. for the excellent training he gave the boys. The team as a whole deserves great credit for the fighting spirit it maintained in every game against odds. The first game was played on the home gridiron. It was a hard fight and ended with a score of 0 to 0. The second game of the series was contested on the Academy field and was a losing fight for the Blake squad. The St. Paul team had gained in weight since the previous game and managed to defeat their opponents by a score of 12-0. The last game was undoubtedly the best and is accordingly reported in greater detail. It was won by Blake with a score of 7 to 6. The St. Paul eleven was slightly the heavier but l oth teams had greatly improved and each had an equal chance up to the final whistle. The scrimmage took place on the Blake field under a shower of rain. The following were the lineups of the two teams: BLAKE Robinson................. Schermerhorn ............

It was liopcd 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, Oslmrne 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 l c admitted that it was unsteady. The injury to Robert Nash’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 schedule 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 bv 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 Dumvoody game, and the strong Dunwoodv 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, 6-4. K rogues s’ 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. Dunwoodv again overwhelmed Blake. 19-2. llcsket, a semi-pro pitcher, was entirely out of our class and only two hits were collected off his delivery. And then on June 2, the 51 rii 6Cfa1lQpQt . Shattuck game was played. Shattuck won, 15-4, simply because oi superior all-around work. Howard, although in |x or 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 fine exhibition of sportsmanship and leadership and he was in the game from start to finish. (Ksborne, shortstop, proved to be 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 .300. 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. Winton’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 flies (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 Bindley 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. 52 BASKET BALL gllopatx.

Cleveland) To the many who estimate a sport's success by the figures in the percentage column, the Blake basketball season of 1920-21 will hardly seem very gratifying. Five wins out of thirteen starts does not sound like championship caliber. There are other phases of the situation, however, which are decidedly pleasing. The schedule was rather a difficult one, and opened the same week practice began. Although six games were played with teams considerably stronger, yet in no defeat was the score overwhelming, nor was there the slightest appearance of discouragement. Invariably our results in the second half were better than in the first. Five of the remaining seven games we won. The spirit of the entire squad was most commendable. Interest never waned and the squad was as large and enthusiastic on the last day as when the season opened. To Captain Osborne great credit is due for his coolness, judgment and leadership. Our treatment while visiting was, in nearly every instance, courteous and fair in the extreme, and we hope our treatment of guests left nothing to be desired. Such a spirit cements friendly relationship. With loyal support in the school, and willingness and effort on the part of the squad, we will hope for a higher standing in the i ereentage column next year. 56 Inter-Class Basketball The interclass basketball series was resumed again this year under the guidance of Mr. Horne. This series has always aroused much interest and the present season was no exception. Mr. Ilornc arranged a schedule which provided that each class play two games with each of the other three classes. Usually there were two games played on an afternoon. In this way the schedule was completed before the Easter vacation. Everybody in each class was eligible except the letter men of the school team. The refereeing was done by Mr. Cleveland and some of the letter men. From the beginning, the Junior Class team was favored to win the title in view of the fact that it was composed of players who had been on the basketball squad all season and had received the benefits of long coaching. The other teams were, as a whole, composed of players who had not played much basketball during the winter. The only other team that was given the ghost of a chance was the Senior quintet. In the first round of the series the Juniors disposed of the Freshmen. Sophomores and Seniors in order. The Senior team vanquished the Sophomores and Freshmen, lmt went down to defeat before the onslaught of the Juniors. The Sophs were forced to console themselves by a victory over the lowly Freshmen. In the second round, interest in the outcome of the race l ecame more intense. The only obstacle between the Juniors and the school championship was the Senior team; naturally then, all interest was focused on this contest. On the afternoon of this game both teams put into the field their strongest line-ups. The odds were all against the Seniors of course. The Juniors went into the fray quite confident of the outcome, but the Seniors were determined to give them the scare of their young lives. This purpose was certainly accomplished, for at the end of the first quarter, the Seniors were ahead by several baskets. Confronted by the possibility of having to share first honors with the Seniors, the Junior team started the second quarter with a rush which swept the Seniors off their feet. At the end of the half the Juniors were in the lead by a comfortable margin. The second half started with the Seniors determined to make up for their slump, but they were not to overtake the lead of their opponents again during the game. With this victory the Juniors came into undisputed possession of the class championship. The members of the championship team are: Card, Tremaine, Tennyson, Hastings, Sudduth. The next game of importance was that for second place, between the Seniors and Sophomores. The Sophomores won this game handily. This was the last game of the series as no further changes in the respective standings of the teams could be made. The order in which the teams stood at the end of the series follows: Juniors, Sophomores, Seniors. Frenshmen. Tennis All members of last year's tennis team were lost through graduation. For this reason the problem of forming a tennis team for 1921 is largely one of developing new material. With this in view as well as the desire to furnish an incentive for l etter play for all. the players have all been ranked. Each player is given a higher ranking whenever he has proved his right to it by defeating a player ranked above him. At the time that this is written Mills is leading this “Peg” tournament in the t'pper School. However. B. Page, Tennyson, and Baldwin are developing good games and any one of these three is likely to displace Mills. The Lower School leaders arc Bennett, Howard, and Dwinnell. 58 THE DEBATING TEAM 60 lKGC( llopQry, Public Speaking The Lower School of 1920-1921 has succeeded in setting a high standard of excellence in public speaking. The selections were well chosen and were so uniformly well delivered that not infrequently visitors were attracted to hear the programs. Andrews. Hevdrich. del.aittre, David Maughan, Pierson, Richards and Richter deserve mention for excellent work. Atwood. Dwinnell, Foster, Lowry, Robinson and Savage showed themselves to be the best speakers in the Lower .School. Particularly well done were Felicia Heliums’ ‘‘The Landing of the Pilgrims’ by Atwood; Tennyson’s “Light Brigade” by Dwinnell; and Kipling’s Gungha Din” by Savage. Due to the fact that the classes in the Upper School have been smaller than in past years there has been less public speaking. The extemporaneous programs have been better than those of last year. Card. Douglas and Laidlaw in particular presented in a most creditable manner the problems presented by the great modern demands for Petroleum. Likewise the debates have been fully equal to those of last year; but in this branch of expression there needs to be a great deal of improvement in order to achieve anything like mastery. The original orations were decidedly weak. The speakers showed little knowledge of their subjects, the sjjecches were poorly written and poorly delivered. The Fifth Form declaimers. although in no case brilliant, were in practically every case salisfactor}'. The efforts put forth in practicing for these declamations, if continued, will make excellent speakers of all members of the Fifth Form. The essays of Baxter, Frost, Krogness, Osborne. Stabeck and Wakefield were adjudged the best that were submitted by the Seniors for the W illiams Theme Contest. These essays were delivered as speeches on the evening of November 24 in competition for the Williams Alumni Prize. While this contest did not reach the brilliant heights of the contest of the previous year, it maintained a commendably high standard. Edward Osljorne’s speech on the immigrant secured him the first place. Laurie Wakefield, speaking on the Irish situation, was given second place, and Maxwell Stabeck was given honorable mention in a speech which also took up the Irish situation. The Fifth Form Declamation Contest for the Union Medal and the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest on Minnesota for the Thorpe Cup, scheduled for Saturday evening, May 7. have not been held at this writing. Boutin, Huntington, McCaul. Merritt, and Pflaum are the contestants in the declamation contests. Their selections are of present-day interest and the speakers are working hard on them. Baldwin. Douglas, Hastings. Laidlaw, and D. Sprague will enter the Thorpe contest. The caliber of the contestants in each event holds the promise of a fitting climax to the year's work in public speaking. 61 “Resolved, That Japanese Immigration Should Be Prohibited by Act of Congress was the question which Blake selected for the St. Paul Academy—Blake debate. St. Paul chose the negative of this question. Preparation for this debate involved the Senior-Junior debate on the same subject, the Seniors upholding the affirmative. The Junior team, composed of Baldwin. Douglas and Nichols, in a well contested debate, won the decision over the Senior team, composed of Wakefield, Page and Krogness. Baldwin, although somewhat stilted, spoke most effectively and was awarded the Strieker cup as the best debater in school. Douglas, with a well-organized speech, was a close second. Wakefield was awarded third place. These three, with A. Page as alternate, were chosen for the school team. It was a keen disappointment that, as a result of the St. Paul-Blake debate, Blake was not returned a winner. The Blake debaters had studied faithfully and trained themselves zealously for this contest. All three speakers showed great improvement over their work in the class debate. This was particularly true of Wakefield, who was probably the equal of either of his colleagues in this debate. The result was a hotly contested debate: we daresay that St. Paul would not have cared to have had Blake contest the argument much more keenly, and the Blake representatives deserve great credit and honor for so ably representing their school. Faults there were, and should be pointed out in order that they may be eliminated in future years. Tendencies toward a too pretentious style and nervousness prevented full realization of the promise held out in the preliminary debate. In addition the judges’ criticism of Blake for endeavoring to use all possible arguments which thus militated against effective use of any. and their criticism of both teams for relying too much on authorities unknown to the ordinary person comprise the important criticisms. We should render all honor to our victorious rivals and vow to recover the lost banner next year. 62 ilai To the Pedagogue of Room Eight A Oh, Little man with form so cute.

It cannot be expected to grow to a fixed organization in one year or in two years. It takes a great deal of time to firmly establish the duties and mechanism of such a body. However, each year it seems to come a little nearer to its ultimate goal. The first half year’s council this year was much the same as last year's council but with more definite duties. The seniors elected as before three members of their own class beside the president and two junior members. Always with the election of a new council questions are voiced to discover what duties, if any, the council has. This doubt among the students is thoroughly justified, since they do not hear a great deal of good accomplished by this, the most important school organization. In the first place, the council is the representative of the student. This fact the faculty docs and has acknowledged. The council is always consulted on important school matters which sometimes call for its advice and sometimes matters which are not necessary to inform the council of. In other words no vitally important measure passes unless the council is behind it. The council has charge of the attendance at all athletic contests and also the half-hour after lunch. When the faculty stay out at school for a meeting the council automatically is in charge on the cars. These duties it is true might not justify the maintenance of this body but it is the little things from day to day that make it important. The second half year council was elected in the same way as the first. However, this one change was made. The members of the council decided to have the head-master attend their meetings and in general to have him a regular member of the council. The reason for this is quite obvious. Everything passed, heretofore, by the council had to have the head-master's sanction before going into effect. This necessitated the president’s going to the head-master and informing him of the actions of the previously held meeting. This information could not take up the details of the discussion which had taken place, thereby possibly missing a very important discussion. Now it happened that the headmaster always gave his sanction to the decisions of the council, but this might not happen and consequently the council would lose all of its influence on the student body. With the head-master's presence at meetings all decisions arc final. Owing to the splendid work of the council for the first half year and es| ecially to the president of that council the faculty decided to allow the president of the council for the remaining half year certain privileges. It made the president free from demerits and excused him from attendance in the study hall. This was of course to raise the council’s dignity and give it more weight in the opinion of the students. A new form of electing the council will go into effect next year. This will be to have the faculty, the outgoing seniors, and the incoming seniors all vote 67 for the council members instead of just the senior class doing this. This will combine the mature judgment of the faculty with the judgment of the older students who have had a chance to see the class just below them from a still different angle and also will give the members of the coming senior class a chance to voice their opinions on their own classmates. The council thus elected will remain throughout the whole year. Thus another year has ended with the council farther advanced and prepared to continue advancing towards its goal, namely the perfect ruling body of the students. 68 Short Story Club The Short Story Club was revived again this year by Mr. Johnson, who after the first meeting turned it over to Mr. Clough. The regular custom of meeting every other Sunday at the home of one of the fellows was followed and many enjoyable evenings were spent this way. Mr. Clough read select stories from most of the prominent short story writers. O. Henry seemed to be the most enjoyed. The attendance at the meetings, while not always as large as it should have been, nevertheless was regular; several of the members attended all of the meetings. Mr. Clough grouped his stories into separate classes and would specialize on a certain class each Sunday. In this way detective stories, mystery stories, etc., were all taken up, and besides listening to the stories much was learned about the different authors. As a whole the meetings were very successful, and we hope that they will be carried on again next year and that a greater number will attend these enjoyable gatherings than attended them this year. 69 NICKKLS LUGSD1K STAB EC K NASH WAKEFIELD HASTINGS OSBORNE The Blake Union The Blake Union, existing under the most adverse conditions, has, in the year of 1921, completed another successful and useful year. At the first meeting of the Union last fall we found that only two old members were present, and the entire Union consisted of only nine members. These new men, naturally, had to he broken in to the customs and habits of the organization, a thing which took a number of meetings to accomplish. However, at about Christmas time, the Union commenced to take on the appearance of olden days and we began to feel justly proud of the maintenance of its former standard. The admission of several new memliers to our midst did not disturb our tranquility, for it was comparatively easy to assimilate one or two new members at a time. The programs of the year have been much the same as in previous years although perhaps slightly more varied. They have, almost without exception, proved extremely interesting. The usual extemporaneous speeches, papers, and debates were given, besides a laughable mock trial that condemned one of our innocent members of being in league with the chief of police in fostering the crime wave Mr. Clough and Mr. Cleveland lx th gave us enlightening talks. The customary prizes were offered, although we had to be slightly economical because of the small number of members. We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Johnson, our advisor, for he has been of infinite help in making this unusual year one of great success. OFFICERS, FIRST TERM J. T. Baxter . . . H.

This is a balanced entertainment, ranging from farce to tragedy, with some straight comedy redeeming the whole from cither extreme. As the curtain-raiser, The Drati'back provides an easy, amusing introduction; but quickly we are called on for rapt attention to The Jest; from the tenseness of which we are given time to recover in the course of Ncz er Again, a leisurely bit of commonplace, leading us in the proper mood to clever absurdities in A Very Xaked Boy; this in turn contrasting sharply with The Clod, easily the climax of the evening, and further set off in its stirring melodrama by the concluding piece. Asaplt, a good comedy of village folk. Such a program to be successful requires considerable versatility: and just how well this was displayed by the Blake Dramatic Association, ought to be clear after a criticism of the individual players. In The Drazcback, Tremaine and Butler made a very fair team. The sketch has already been referred to as an easy beginning of the evening’s program ; which it is, considered as light comedy intended by the author to provide ready entertainment. In the production of the playlet, however, it is not so easy to put over the author's intention. Leading up to the drawback —the sinister occupation of his father—Tremaine played the part of a worried lover with varying effect: now sure, and then again vaguely uncertain. His lines, usually monosyllabic, demand significant inflection, a severe tax of an amateur’s ability, but on the whole not too severe for Tremaine, who has an excellent voice, and some dramatic sense. Butler played the debutante acceptably. Of chief promise in his future appearances as an actor is the skill he exhibited in handling the pause, which is so effective. He was possibly miscast, but he did well for all that. Frost, Douglas, and Kingsley were somewhat handicapped in their efforts with The Jest by a lack of co-operation on the part of the audience. Perhaps half a dozen persons laughed nervously at the worst possible moment: when “Death 76 gylopatx. is heard speaking for the first time to the Poet, just after he has been killed by the Thug's bludgeon. Kingsley, in the fantastic role, made the most of his few lines. Frost, as the cultured Londoner, showed to best advantage at the close where he speaks with the spirit that has whisked him out of this world. The degenerate Cockney thug was well done by Douglas, whose impassioned outcry as he leaps upon his victim harrowed one by its thrilling suggestion of the London underworld. The Jest is an ambitious undertaking for amateurs. The next piece, Never Again, is talky, lacking in action, and consequently somewhat of a strain on the players and audience alike. Pflaum had the burden to carry, though he was assisted to a degree by McCaull and Melgaard, who, in the icspectivc roles of Harry Esray, and Marion Landon, provided the proper support. Stuart Walker's A Very Naked Boy followed. This sketch requires about the interpretation given it by Krogness, Lugsdin, and Poehler. Krogness played the lovelorn youth to the complete satisfaction of an audience attuned to the necessary mood. Lugsdin looked quite like a girl, and acted like one. His feminine coldness was sufficiently exasperating. Poehler, the “very naked bov,” shows promise of a future in both comedy and farce. Next year he ought to have a bigger part. It remained for The Clod to arouse the audience to genuine enthusiasm. In a memorable performance, Xickels dominated the stage by his unusually adequate interpretation of the drudge, dragging through life without sentiment, caring nothing, knowing nothing, about the Northerners or the Southerners, except as they have come to bother her, the embodiment of wornout womanhood, infinitely weary. Xickels worked up to his climax most satisfactorily: beginning in a subdued key, then by natural stages expressing more and more the hopeless lot of the white trash, increasing in dramatic intensity up to the thrilling moment when under continued browbeating, she can no longer contain herself, and shoots the brutal Southern sergeant. As Thaddeus Trask, Robert Baldwin gave a finished representation of the illiterate, indolent, lowly farmer in a border state. Baldwin's poise is a big asset. Clellan Card made an ideal Northern soldier: a hunted man at bay. desperate, enlisting our instant attention and sympathy. Card excelled in his plea to the clod. His business, accurate and thorough, was consistent with a talented interpretation. Max Stabeck was enough to goad such an insensible creature as the clod to any limit. With Rol ert Nash, he gave the proper war atmosphere, though he was considerably more than background. Stabeck has the stature and the voice for the part he played. Nash was effective, particularly in his pose at the doorway, as he stood looking out into the moonlight. The Clod as a whole will be remembered for its breathless suspense, strong situations, and for its performance by a gifted cast. The concluding sketch, Asaph, was the right let-down from the strain of a gripping Civil war tragedy. In Asaph a wisely selected cast further demonstrated the versatility of the Dramatic Association, carrying through a diverting rural 77 comedy. Baxter was perhaps the star, but he owed much to Osborne. The two made a clever team, expert in dialogue and alive to the possibilities of each stage of the situation: playing up to a high standard. Both Baxter and Osborne have voices perfectly suited to the nasal twang of village celebrities: the result was a pleasing, convincing naturalness. Wakefield and Hastings were acceptable as prominent women of the town: the one peremptory in manner, the other just coy enough to hope, warrantcdly, for something better than a life-sentence of dress-making. The village doctor was done by Velie, who gave an adequate, if Meeting impression: thus completing the necessary support of the main characters in the sketch rounding out an evening of fun, and seriousness, and sending away a satisfied audience. We should not forget those “behind, who helped make the presentation a memorable one. As coach and director, Mr. Whitcombe kept up to his high standard of dramaturgy and stagecraft. The results of his work were in evidence throughout the evening: good pronunciation, accurate business, generally unfailing effect—all bore witness to Mr. Whitcombe’s skill as a leader in schoolboy dramatics. Mrs. Blanpied and Mrs. Clough were mistresses of wardrobe. Mr. Horne, the electrician, attended to the lighting for the various sets. The scene shifters, Mr. Blanpied and Mr. Foss, made possible quick changes, without the aid of entr’acte music The hitches usually conceded to amateurs as their privilege by charitable audiences were totally lacking. The machinery of drama worked smoothly, silently, with professional facility. 'I’lie 1921 appearance of The Blake Dramatic Association has already l een entered in the chronicles of the school as a lasting success. L. W. Cl-OUGH. 78 lhec6|Hopai . Blake Scout Troop At last the Blake scout troop is being reorganized after several years, during which enthusiasm greatly decreased, and we hope it has returned to stay. On special request, Mr. Sanderson, who is a former Blake teacher and scoutmaster, has agreed to take charge of operations if the hoys are really anxious to restore the troop to its former standing in the city. When this was assured, he went ahead with his plans, hirst of all, patrol leaders were chosen by Mr. Sanderson and they, together with Charles die. assistant scout master, and Laurie Wakefield, the treasurer of the troop, met with him once a week to discuss ideas for carrying out the movement. It was decided that the troop should be run entirely by the scoutmaster and his assistants. That is, the patrol leaders are to Ik- chosen by Mr. Sanderson and are to remain in that position as long as they prove satisfactory to him. The patrol leaders are to report to the scoutmaster any misdemeanor on the part of members of their patrols. The culprit will l e brought up before a court consisting of Mr. Sanderson, his assistant, and the patrol leaders, and his offense will be read. If a sufficient excuse be not forthcoming, the miscreant will be expelled from the troop for a time, or for good. In order to maintain a well-disciplined troop, every meml er must wear a complete uniform at every troop meeting or hike. Ixrcause if the troop liecomcs sloppy in appearance the general attitude of all the boys toward those in command becomes the same. Each boy must, on entering the troop, obtain a written statement from his parents to the effect that they will permit hint to purchase a complete outfit. It was agreed that this should consist of the following articles at present: brown, and only brown shoes, regulation scout stockings, scout trousers, flannel shirt, neckerchief and hat. Xo blouse is worn with the uniform now. Anyone desiring to become a member of the troop must know that he is expected to hustle or be dropped, 'file troop will be hard to enter, but extremely easy to get out of. if a boy does not live up to expectations. There will be a merit system in place of the usual demerits. These merits will be given to deserving members of the patrols and it shall come al� out that a boy with no merits will not stand very high in the troop. It has been agreed that the troop shall meet one night a week at the Junior Blake School. The first part of this meeting shall be conducted with the strictest discipline while the latter half shall be used in singing, or playing games. As spring seems to be approaching, it will soon l)e fine weather for scout hikes and outdoor games. In all money matters the troop shall have entire say as to what they wish to do. Thus far there are eighteen enrolled in the troop and two patrols 79 l'avc already been chosen with Sudduth as patrol leader of one and Huntington of the other. The members of the two patrols are as follows: Sudduth. patrol leader Newhart I). Xewhall S. Xewhall Dwinnell Strong Dodge Huntington, patrol leader Mills Kovey E. Wells Sheldon DeLaittre Richter Schermcrhorn We sincerely hope that this troop will surpass the one of four years ago which was ranked among the best in the city. All who so desire are urged to join the organization, as patrol leader McCaull has not enough boys to complete his patrol.

Clough 85 lKQC( 11opat , The Torch The Blake Torch lias now completed its sixth year of existence and has tried faithfully to record the events of the past school year. Whether or not it has succeeded is for those who have read its pages to decide. At a time when the enrollment in the upper classes was very small and when the cost of publication was at its height, the Torch has been sold with no advance in the price of subscription. The Torch now has a wider circulation than at any time previous in its history as a result of the new plan for sending every alumnus of the school a Torch each month. As the school grows the school monthly should grow with it and should soon double in size. In composition the magazine has been much the same as in previous years, with one or two changes and additions. A new department. The Pictures on Our Walls, has been added, while all the old sections have been retained. The Editorial section has contained articles on school subjects only, while essays on world events have been placed in the Literary Department. As the Torch is primarily a literary magazine, this department has always been the largest, and it is to this department that the school is urged to contribute to especially. The College Notes department which was innovated by last year's board has been kept up, while book reviews have appeared from time to time. The Athletic section, while not as detailed as last year's, has, we feel, been up to standard. The School Notes have been good, but there is still much room for improvement. The Alumni, Humor, and Exchange divisions were up to standard. The one outstanding defect this year has been the lack of contributions from the school. Of course, the Hoard is primarily responsible for this monthly, but it has to de| end a great deal on the student body for material. Probably as the school grows this defect will become less pronounced and more interest will be taken in the school paper, and as soon as this happens the Torch will become a better magazine. In closing we wish to thank all who have aided us in any manner, and especially do we wish to express our thanks to Mr. L. W. Clough, who, hi the capacity of faculty advisor, has helped us greatly throughout the year. To Mr. R. B. Johnson, Head Master of Blake School, we wish to express our vast appreciation for the co-operation and interest he has taken in the Torch during the past year. 86 ajlopatx. Junior-Senior Dance 1920 One of Minnesota's finest spring evenings on the eighteenth of June, nineteen hundred and twenty, and a gaily decorated gymnasium at the country school made a wonderful setting for the Junior-Senior dance. As it was just the season for peonies these flowers were much in evidence, and with the help of the usual Japanese lanterns the whole floor was made to look like a spring fairyland. The dance started at nine o'clock and lasted until one. Much of the success of this party was due to the fact that a large number of alumni were present and also to the committee consisting of J. T. Baxter, chairman ; C. C. Card and C. H. Willard. Kansas City Dance A dance was given at the country school on the evening of February 19th in honor of the boys from Kansas City and also for our neighbors from St. Paul Academy. An orchestra consisting of University students furnished the music. Refreshments and punch were served in the chapel, after which the various schools grouped together, each giving its Alma Mater. On the whole the affair was quite a success due greatly to its informality. 88 Christmas Dance !L. The Christmas Dance, December 20, was a huge success, due largely to the efforts of the committee, Stabeck, Velic and Hastings. The gymnasium of the Junior School was beautifully decorated, the orchestra being hidden by a row of Christmas trees which greatly added to the unique decorations. There were more there than had been expected, including many alumni. Light refreshments were served, consisting of ice cream and cake. Football Banquet '1'he Annual Football Banquet was held at the Country School on November — after completing the most successful season ever enjoyed bv Blake. Coach Home, Captain Krogness, and Captain-elect Card spoke on Football, and the team as individuals and as a whole, the past season including the football training camp, and next season’s prospects, respectively. Mr. R. B. Johnson spoke on the devotion “Mike” Horne had for the team, the enthusiasm he injected into it. and its success. Captain Krogness, on behalf of the team, presented Mike with a cigarette case, as a token of its appreciation for the interest and loyalty lie showed toward it. Dr. Card. Mr. Stabcck and Mr. Nash gave interesting addresses, and Baxter, Osborne and Giles also spoke. Baseball Banquet The annual baseball banquet was held at the Minikahda Club one evening in the last week of school. Mr. Howard was the host at this dinner and a fine evening was enjoyed by everyone present. The election of Edward Osborne for next year’s captain was held after the dinner. Short speeches were given by the captain, captain-elect, and coach. Returns of the Republican convention were announced during the banquet. After breaking up, a good many of the fellows went out to the I afayette Club to a dance. 89 lKo Hopatv. Blake Union Banquet One of the hi events of the year for the Union is the banquet usually held at some hotel or club in the city. These banquets get the fathers together and also the newly elected members. The nineteen-twenty banquet was held at the Athletic Club. The large number of fathers and new members present was very pleasing. After a magnificent meal, the speeches began. Mr. Johnson acted as toastmaster. Josiah Willard, the outgoing president, spoke in behalf of the departing, while John Baxter spoke as the incoming president. Laurie Wakefield was the representative of the new members. Dr. Carlaw. in behalf of the fathers, gave a talk on heredity. After a few songs the banquet was ended with a general outlook of future prosperity for the Union. Senior Dinners The custom of holding senior dinners every month at the country school, which was introduced several years ago. has this year been extremely successful. It not only gave the members of the class an opportunity to foster a better acquaintance with their classmates, but also gave them a glimpse into the serious side of business life. Mr. Johnson in every case chose speakers of foremost rank in their profession. The first dinner was devoted to the election of class officers and members of the Senior Council, a short speech, in addition, being given by Mr. Johnson. Then from month to month, in order named. Mr. Bellows spoke on the business of a magazine writer, Mr. Hewitt on architecture, Mr. Dayton on dry goods. Mr. Knickerbocker on the ministry, and Mr. Frisbee on journalism. The last dinner was given over to speeches by members of the faculty concerning college life. Everyone feels that the meetings will lx of lasting help. 90 5CHAAL IkdS IlQpQIX. The Junior School The past year has been the l est year that Junior Blake has ever had. Not only has the school been larger, but we have done a good many things that have never been done before. In the Fall Term our football team played Douglas School, Country Blake and other schools. Ben Nelson was the Captain. Some very enjoyable hikes were taken to Fort Snelling, the City Water Works, the Old Sibley House, etc. A very successful Christmas play was given by some of the fifth year boys. Hockey and indoor baseball were the principal winter sports. Charles Doerr gave the Fifth Year Class a sleigh ride which everybody survived. Much excitement was caused (especially Harry Adams) when a Ford ran over George Case’s head one noon and nearly wrecked the flivver. In the Spring Term the baseball team appeared with brand new uniforms. Harry Adams was elected Captain. The team has made a good showing and has won most of their games. A fine new drinking fountain was presented to the school as a memorial by the Fifth Year Class. Among the red letter days which will be long remembered are the days of the Teachers’ Convention; when Harry came to school with his hair combed; when Mr. Wilson didn’t give any demerits; when Sam got a haircut; when Emory got his work finished on time. 92 Class Room Humor Mr. Bartlett: “Why isn’t your lesson prepared this morning?’’ Delinquent scholar: The car was too noisy, sir.” Mr. Barton: “Will you please write ‘time’ on your paper, Krogness?” Krogness: “I’m writing all the time I can, Mr. Barton. Mr. Barton: What propelling movement brought immigrants to the United States in 18—?” Baxter: “The steamboat.” Mr. Barton: What state is Philadelphia in? Silence follows, then Douglas replies: Chicago. Mr. Barton: In what period are we studying our lesson today? Velie: “The third period.” Question in information test. Who wrote: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise? Bovey’s answer: Early to bed. early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise—now I wrote it. Krogness (translating in Latin): He stood in the hall on the doorstep, waiting for the restless Queen. We sec by the Current Events that Julius Caesar is running on the next Republican ticket. Mr. Clough (in one of his English classes): A good many learned and prominent men have come from Harvard. Pupil (a little later): Where did you go to college, Mr. Clough? Mr. Clough: Harvard. Baxter (composing a comix sition): What is the best way to say “are killed.” Mr. Whitcomb (speaking on manners): What would you do if a window was open and the girl you were sitting beside was cold?” Tremaine: Put your arm around her. 94 Blue Monday () fatalistic day of days. Believe me, son, it never pays; I left my work till Sunday night And got into an awful plight. Not one lesson did 1 get. But I’m the only one to fret, Others rose and others fell But 1 remained the chief dumbbell. Floyd Bartlett called upon me first Can you imagine how I cursed? Down my face the sweat did patter Till scornfully he quoth, “no matter.” ( f Algebra 1 will not speak, My brain sure must have had a leak; Two times three I said made four And was calmly shown the door. In History, that subject fine, But ah! here is where 1 draw the line. Suffice it but to say a word A cipher is what I incurred. Procrastination, dreadful thought, With which my actions oft were wrought How sad that I should be a freak Because Blue Monday starts the week. 95 Mr. Harriett: Stabeck, why do you always weep when you think of the death of Icarus? Stabeck (who didn't know his lesson) : “Hecause I get a rotten mark. Some fool says: I have a passing acquaintance with Mr. Aylward. He gave me an eighty last week. Paper, in History Class: In the meeting between Lee and Grant, at Appo- mattox, Grant wore a dirty old Union Suit. (Sung daily before the faculty rest (?) room) Oh where, Oh where, has my typewriter gone Oh where. Oh where, can it Ik . With its keys all shot, And its type all blot. Oh where, Oh where, can it be? Oh where. Oh where, has my typewriter strayed. Oh where. Oh where, is it laid, Not a student in school Would be such a fool. It must be the facultay. Mr. Bartlett, on hearing Krogness humming in the back of the room: Are you in trouble back there? Mr. Foss, in Latin class: “Write out Exercise XV and hand it in tomorrow. Student: On paper? Teacher, in History class: Let us run over a few of the main characters in History. Student, in rear of room: Honk! Honk! 97 1 Baxter Yelie Butler Wakefield Stabeck Crane Velie Baxter 1 ’flaum Baldwin Tennyson Card Douglas Statistics MOST POPULAR 2 Osborne Card BEST NATURED Miss Phillips HANDSOMEST St rout BEST STUDENT Dayton LAZIEST Lugsdin MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Osborne MOST HUMOROUS Tennyson BEST DRESSER Bovey HARDEST WORKER Frost BEST SPEAKER Tennvson BEST SPORT Osborne LOUDEST Tennyson QUIETEST Frost MOST GENTLEMANLY Lugsdin 98 3 Ed.

No one thing binds and ties a man to his community, his state, and his country, as does the possession of a home — built for wife and kiddies. The great shortage of housing facilities makes it imperative that this matter be given most careful consideration by individuals, by banking interests, and by civic bodies. 'I'he price of lumber has declined to a level where building can now be done at a reasonable cost. Directly other building costs arc reduced proportionately with lumber.

Three generations of the Pillsbury family have served on this board. The late Messrs. George A. and Charles A. Pillsbury were members of the directorate from 1880 to 1899 respectively.
