Was Mr. Blake the founder ot the school? I: is natural that there should he curiosity and natural that there should he a desire to pay honest tribute where tribute is due. Mr. William McK. Blake was not the founder of this school, and yet we do ourselves honor in hearing his name. It stands for a life of devotion to the education of hoys. It is the name of a man who gave his best abilities and his unstinted efforts to a high service. His ideals are Blake ideals. His example is an example for Blake hoys and masters. The actual situation which gave the school its name was in itself a tribute to the fairness of the real founders and to the value of Mr. Blake’s previous school work in Minneapolis. In 1907 he started a tutoring school for about a dozen boys at 200 Ridgewood Avenue. In 1911 some of the men in Minneapolis who had already done so much in other ways for its development, saw the vision of the possibilities of a country day school worthy of the city and its future growth. The names of the first Board of Trustees adequately represent that larger group of men who gave generously for the consummation of the plan: Charles C. Bovey. Presi- dent: lames F. Bell. Elbert 11. Carpenter. Charles M. Case. Fred W. Clifford. George B. Clifford. Franklin M. Crosby, John Crosby. William 11. Dunwoody, Edward C. Gale, Clive T. (affray. Charles S. Pillsbury, David I). 'Penney. Charles I). Velie. Frederick B. Wells. It was at once realized that the small school already in existence and run as a business enterprise for private gain would be badly crippled by a competitor financed on a so much larger scale and managed on a basis of no interest return on original investment. Mr. Blake did not desire the greater responsibility of leadership in the new organization but was willing to join the staff. He was engaged then as Senior Master at a good salary, the private tutoring school was abandoned, and the new institution became the Blake School. W hen Mr. Blake felt it necessary to resign from active teaching he was retired on a pension, which was paid until two years later, when he resumed his profession in another city. 9 Mr. C. Bertram Newton. A. B., Princeton '93. who had been for thirteen years a Master at Lawrenceville, was selected as the first Head Master. From 1911 to June. 1919. when Mr. Newton resigned, the school under his leadership rapidly developed into one of the best country day schools. After a year at 1803 Hennepin Avenue, the Senior Department was moved to the present country site, the Junior Department remaining at 1803 Hennepin Avenue for three years more. The first section of the Country School Building (1912) consisted of the Dining I lall-Chapel-Study Hall section and the recitation wing. In 1913 the second section was built, consisting of the Gymnasium, Reading Room. Manual Training Room, etc. By the scholarship record of its boys in school and later in college, by the engendered spirit of good sportsmanship and loyalty, and by the reputation for an idealizing influence on characters at the age of greatest susceptibility, the product of the school came to be recognized for its quality. By his personality, his enthusiastic ardor, and his living example of faithfulness and devotion, Mr. Newton made a lasting contribution to the early development as well as to the permanent success of the school. In 1919, Mr. Raymond B. Johnson, who had in 1916 come from the Country Day School in Boston, Massachusetts, to be the head of the Blake English Department, was appointed Acting Head Master, and. later in the same year. Head Master. In 1920, the Anderson house and barns and six acres of land were bought. This completed the square of the Country School tract and made the total of sixty acres. It also enabled the school to use the dwelling as a boarding annex for the convenience of out-of-town boys or those whose parents left the city for a part of the winter. In 1921. the third addition was made to the building. This greatly increased its capacity and usefulness, making it possible to separate the Upper and Lower Schools, to move the Fifth Year class to the country, and to meet the demands of an increased enrollment. Mr. Charles C. Bovey was the leading spirit when the school was founded in 1911 and continued as President of the Board of Trustees for eight years. To him and to Mr. Newton the school owes a debt of gratitude which may be fully acknowledged but can never be fully paid. Much of the responsibility for the development of the school since its beginning has rested on the willing shoulders of Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, who was Mr. Bovey's successor as President of the Board of Trustees, and who is now in office devoting much of his time and thought to the good of the school.

McGuire Secretary and Accountant 15 History of The Cl ass o f 1922 It may be said that the class of ‘22 came into being: in the Second Form. For it was there that the nucleus composed of Horace Nickels, Henry Sud-duth. and Robert Nash came together to tight their way with the aid of classmates who later joined them in the journey toward the goal embodied in the coveted diploma. True to precedent we were duly informed that a a class we were the poorest that had ever graced the halls of Blake. It was probably this negative encouragement as much as anything else which gave us the desire to light and win for ourselves, and thereby our school, a place of dignity and worth. In view of this it was perhaps well that we did not know in those earlier years that every class is considered by those who are farther advanced along the primrose path to be the most hopeless ever. But be that as it may. it was the spirit of energetic ambition, judiciously encouraged by our class advisor and directed toward that tangible thing—the diploma—that led us onward and upward to our place as seniors. It was that same Blake spirit which made us strive for, and win, a place on the various athletic teams while in the lower school. This was also carried to the class-room, where with patience tempered with enthusiasm we were instructed in the greater, if less pleasurable, pursuits. hen. in 1918, we were officially admitted into the upper school, we felt that another milestone had been passed. Now were we by virtue of age and experience qualified to assume a more definite place in the school program: now with our goal more clearly in sight we pressed forward with new enthusiasm. As we returned in the fall as sophomores we felt a yet more definite sense of responsibility and desire to be as a class a potent factor in the success of our school. W e were represented on the football team by Owen and Nash, while the rest of us served as lowly scrubs giving the varsity all the opposition we could, and thereby forming an important factor in the team’s success. Two of our members played on the basketball team. When spring came our attention was turned to baseball, where Owen and Nash again won the coveted 4T .” In the fall of '19 we returned with an opportunity for the first time of participating in the school administration. This was an added incentive to future labor. Sudduth and Hastings served on the Council. Owen and Nash 16 again distinguished the class on the football and baseball field. W e were also well represented on the basketball floor, with Xash and Owen winning their letters. Baldwin played on the tennis team. In the intellectual field we were equally fortunate, Douglas and Baldwin making the debating team and leaving only one place to the seniors. Douglas captured the (ieneral Information Cup. The class also won the inter-class basketball championship by a wide margin. Nickel and Xash served on The Torch and Callopan boards respectively. In the field of dramatics. Nickel . Douglas. Baldwin and Xash all had leading roles and contributed to the success of the season. TIu big success of the final event of the season, the Junior-Senior dance, was due to the unflagging zeal of the junior committee. Last fall we entered upon the last lap with a determination to raise the standard of Blake higher than ever before. Owen, Sudduth and Nash served on the football team. ( )n the basketball court, (been and Xash again starred, while in baseball Clifford. Sudduth, Xash and Owen figured prominently. In debating, the class was again successful, the team being entirely composed of seniors Baldwin. Douglas and Nickels,-—the last succeeding Baldwin in retaining the Strieker clip. Douglas won the (ieneral Information prize. Nickels. Baldwin and Douglas again played leading roles in the dramatic field. It is this year that the high-water mark of the Senior Council has been reached under the leadership of Horace Nickels. It has been a potent factor in school life and a very real influence, both morally and in school spirit. It i with these thoughts in mind and an earnest desire in our hearts to see the perpetuation of the ideals which we have striven with but partial success to attain, that we pass the Torch to those who follow with what we trust is an undimmed light. 17 He moil Ills a salience, as curs mouth a hone ROBERT G.

AIM MR. ci.urcii MATTSON M KRRITT The Junior Class The class of 1923 came back to school last fall, being a little larger in size than last year. The class elections were held soon after school started, the following being elected: Merritt, president: Pflaum, vice-president: Hunt- ington. secretary and treasurer: with Mr. Clough as our faculty advisor. Two members. Huntington and Hastings, were elected to Senior Council. In athletics, our class was well represented for its size, three members being on the football team. Again, on the basketball team, our class was well up in front, having three men on the team. The outlook for the present baseball team includes a large proportion of our class. Our oratorical ability was easily shown in the debate with the seniors. Although we were defeated, they were pushed very hard for the highest honors. At the mid-year elections. McCaull was elected president: Huntington, vice-president: and Pflaum. secretary and treasurer. Next year the class will enter their senior year at Blake. It must take upon itself the lead and responsibility placed upon every senior class. The class this year is very small compared with most junior classes, and for this reason much more will be expected of each member next year. A great deal of the success of the class i due to Mr. Clough, our faculty advisor, and we all certainly hope that he will be with us next year to help us along in a greater position. 27 Fifth Form History Last fall we came back to school slightly diminished in numbers, but still with a good-sized class. We elected Edward Wells president; George Dayton, vice-president; Philip Maughan, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Cleveland, faculty advisor, and at once buckled down to work. Most of the class turned out for football practice. Giles, Gray, II. Dietz and W . Sprague were the football letter men from the Fifth Form. Dayton played on the first squad, but did not receive his letter. On the return of the class from the Christmas vacation we elected the following officers to serve for the winter term: Donald Newhall, president; Stewart Sheldon, vice-president, and Charles Bovey, secretary and treasurer. During the winter term basketball was the chief attraction. The Fifth Form had on the first squad: Giles. W Sprague. Newhart, Mills, D. Newhall. Giles won his letter in this sport also. In the inter-class basketball tournament. the Fifth Form team, composed of Capt. Mills. Sheldon, D. Newhall, Newhart. and W . Sprague, won first place. 28 The Fifth Form declamation contest for the Blake Union medal was won by hid ward Wells, with Sinclair Kingsley a close second. When we came back from the Faster holidays we chose: Ell wood New hart, president; Edward Wells, vice-president, and John Giles, secretary and treasurer. In the plays given by the dramatic association, six sophomores had roles. 'Hie cast of one play was made up entirely of Fifth Formers. A large number of the class turned out for baseball practice. The Fifth Form dance, held at the country school May 6. was a great success. The class is very much indebted to Mr. Cleveland, our advisor, tor the help he has given us during the year. Donald Newham.. Fourth Form September twentieth found the Fourth Form all back with the exception of Kenneth Chase. John Musgrave and John Webb. The vacancies were filled by Robert Dietz. Charles Silverson, George McCabe, Edward Page and George Van Dusen. Class officers were elected as follows: William Sud- duth. president; Stanley Newhall. vice-president, and John deLaittre, treasurer. Sil verson, Deitz and McCabe made lower school football letters, and Bennett made his letter as guard on the varsity. For the winter term, Sudduth, Schermerhorn and deLaittre were respectively made president, vice-president and treasurer. The class basketball team finished third. Five teams competed. During this term we also received our class pins. They were in the form of a gold shield, bearing the name Blake, the figure of a blazing torch, and our numerals ’25. The Fourth Form also took an important part in dramatics. We put on “The Singing Soul, a Chinese tragedy in one act. by Mrs. H. Backus. The 30 cast all played very well for such a difficult play. John deLaittre took the leading part as “Ke Xgai.” Kwan Yu” was played by Hill Luce. Very good support was given by 1 ludson Walker, as “Young Foh,” the emperor of I'ekin : John Atwood, V an Dusen, Strong, and Hill Dwinnell. 'The spring term opens with Robert Schermerhorn on the first squad in baseball. Several others of our Form arc on the second team. The class wishes to express its gratitude to the kindly and helpful interest of our class advisor. Mr. X. S. Foss. John Burc.ess, 25. % 31 The Year 1921-1922 In the Lower School 1'he Lower School was very well rounded, excelling both in scholarship and in athletics. It had. almost every month, more names on the Honor Roll and a better average than the Upper School. The class of 11126, the Third Form, was second in average in the Fall Term among all the classes of the school. It was first in the Winter Term. Nine of the thirteen men on the football team, five of the seven on the hockey team, and nine of the ten on the baseball team, were in the Third Form. The Third Formers have also been prominent in contributing to the Torch, especially in the Student Opinion Department. They usually have more names on the First Honor Roll than any other class in school. The Second Form has had one man on each team. The First Form is probably best known through their part of the Torch, the First Form Journal. They appear to be a fine class. A new class was added to the Lower School this year. It is the Fifth tirade, under the leadership of Mr. W ilson. Resides having a few articles in the Torch, it has a fine baseball team for the boys size. They won from the Junior School by a large score. One of the main things the Lower School has done is the gaining of the Hill Cup from Saint Haul Academy Lower School. 'This is a cup given for winning the most points during the year. Kach of the three football games count ten points, each hockey game five points, each baseball game ten. and the tennis match five. Blake lost the first game in football to S. I . A. by a 13-6 score. Although I’dake scored first. the could not hold the heavier St. Haul team. I he second game Blake lost 6-0. 'The team was much strengthened and made much heavier by the addition of some new Fourth Formers. W'e won the third game. 33-0. Blake played better as a team and the new boys fitted in much better, thanks to the work of Mr. Lucas. S. 1 . A. was handicapped a little, however, by the loss of Rice, one of their best men. Captain Robinson, Dodge, Carnahan, Ross. McCabe, White. 'Thorpe. Clifford. Silverson. Best, Christian. Dietz, and Bardwell got letters. 32 In hockey only two games were played. Blake winning both; 5 0 and 6-1, scores. There were letters awarded to Captain Dodge, Robinson, Christian, Andrews, Ross, Ford, and Dietz. Mr. Blanpied coached, aided by Merritt and Schermerhorn. It was baseball that decided the cup. as at the beginning of this season the schools were tied in points, 20-20. Blake won the first game, 10-7. The second game, played at St. Paul, went nine innings, two more than usual. Moles excelled and pitched the entire game without letting S. P. A. get a dangerous rally. The score was 17-9. The third game was won by Blake also. 'Those who played more than one game were Captain Christian, Moles, Clifford, Best. Robinson, Dodge. Bardwell. McCarthy, and Ross. The team was coached by Mr. Clough, who succeeded very well. The Lower School had good public speaking this year. Mr. Barton was at the head, aided by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Clough. 'The Third Form and the Fifth Grade were the best. The Lower School has been having music under the leadership of Mr. Lucas. It comes every Monday and Wednesday, after lunch. A basketball team, composed of four Third Formers and one Second Former, came out second in the school tournament. W. S. Best, ’26. 33 f' DOl'CSI.AS ONVKX Ill'XTIXC.TOX IIASTIXCS. MU. JOHNSON. XU KKI S NASH 34 The Student Council THKRK is no organization connected with Blake School that is fraught with so much responsibility and may so greatly influence school life as the Student Council. Kach of the many activities has its own valuable contribution to make, but probably no department can do so much for the common good as this organization. The close of each year finds the Council farther advanced toward its goal of helpfulness in spite of the many obstacles which have hampered it. Numerous have been the weaknesses of the past Councils, and these have not yet been overcome entirely. But our mistakes have been our best teachers, and this group of leaders is coming into its own as the true representative of the student body. The Council of 1921-22 was a new experiment, but without doubt its method of election and many of its duties will become permanent institutions. In the first place, the body was appointed in a unique manner to remain in office for the entire year. Faculty and upper classmen combined to make a representative election. The President of the Council was entrusted with new privileges, that his position as leader of the student body might indeed become one of unusual honor and respect. One of the important innovations which the Student Council has endeavored to introduce this year is the Kent School system of self-government in the study-hall. It in any way it shall have laid the foundation for the successful establishment of this system, it will have done more for Blake than any former C ouncil. I he group has taken charge of the after-luncheon period in a satisfactory manner. As a representative of the student body, the Council has sincerely endeavored to work in its behalf. The members have aimed to do away with all unnecessary regulations and discipline. The organization has worked steadily without the interruption of mid-year elections. It has. on the whole, received greater respect from the students themselves. In all its duties the Council has endeavored to uphold a high standard. I he Head Master has taken part in all meetings, following last year's precedent. as an ex-officio member of the body, and we wish to express to him our gratitude tor his whole-hearted cooperation with us and his friendly criticism of all our endeavors. 35 Such an organization as a Student Council in a preparatory school requires many years for its development. We see very clearly the shortcomings of the members of this year’s group. As we pass on our duties to the Council members of 1922-23. our sincere wish is that they may continue to promote the best interests of the school. With a true conception of the great honor conferred upon them and a corresponding sense of responsibility, may they so dignify their position as leaders and representatives of Blake School that the student body will increasingly respect and support this organization. We hope that its standards may be kept high and that it may become a still greater factor in the school life. Horack J. Nickels, I resident. (hit on the air the cry rang wild : “Switchman.

No. that’s no bull—just a bum steer. “A sock on the foot is worth two in the jaw!” 36 � The Short Story Club SEVERAL meetings of the Short-Story Club were held during the past year, resulting in continued interest on the part of the upper forms in the tale of brief, but effective, action. Mr. Clough departed somewhat from the practice of other years by confining our attention entirely to poetry, introducing to us such master story-tellers in verse as John Masefield, Alfred Xoyes, Rudvard Kipling, and Tennyson. The poems read and discussed were “The Dauber.” “The Daffodil Fields. in preparation for which we considered Tennyson’s treatment of the same theme in the poem. “Enoch Arden”: and some of Kipling’s short, poignant pieces, among them being “Tommy,” “Gungha Din,” Mandalay.....l'he Ballad of East and West.” The attendance at the meetings of the Club was seldom large but always appreciative, which is the desideratum in a gathering of fellows moved by a common liking for the beauties, the vigor, the eternal qualities of great writers of tales that are universal in their appeal. “Dat may be true.” reckoned Rastus. when told that the Good Book says the lion and the lamb lie down together, “but I can't find no place where it says dat lamb eber got up.” A little oil on baby's dress keeps floors shining. “My father was killed in a feud.” “I never ride in those cheap cars.” 37 He: She: I’l'I.AlM McCWI’l.l.

The programs have been varied and interesting, and there has been a conscious effort to strive for the attainment of the higher ideals for which the society stands. There has been a very marked improvement in the speaking ability of a number of the members. But perhaps of even greater importance is the development of a feeling of friendship and loyalty to one another and to the school, that intangible something which is carefully fostered in the I’nion until it becomes a part of the individual members. 39 Mr. Barton: ‘‘Take your seat, please.

Many have been the difficulties which have confronted the board of editors during the past year, and yet the 'Porch has come through them all in its march of progress. At the beginning of the school year we found ourselves confronted by a large debt, previously incurred, for the payment of which we must be responsible. Thus handicapped, it ha-been no small task to publish an interesting monthly with the ever-increasing demands made upon a school periodical. The debt has been surmounted, perhaps somewhat at the expense of our readers, since our lack of finances prevented the use of snapshots, cartoons and other means of variation. Kvery effort, however, has been made to edit a paper worthy of the school. The greatest change in the make-up of the l‘ 21-22 'Porch is the double column. 'Phis was introduced for the first time in the December issue, adding greatly to the appearance of the paper, but entailing much more work. The Board also takes pride in its new front page. Several new cuts have been contributed, which have added interest to the publication. In regard to material, the Porch this year has been above the average, due probably to the increase in contributions from the student body. The editorial department has endeavored to present discussions of three-fold interest, scholastic, civic and national. The articles of civic interest are entirely a new venture. The Literary department has maintained its usual excellence with many admirable stories. A Book Talk column of unique interest has been added to this department. The English themes of merit have been printed, following last year’s custom. Nearly every issue has found some poem in this -ection of the magazine. The new Student )pinion department has been splendidly maintained, to the benefit of all readers. W e sincerely hope this will be kept up in future years, for it has proved one of the best departments of The Porch. 'Pile School News has been well edited. Especially the innovation of the “First Form Journal” has added zest to these items of school interest. All praise to the First Form, which has so successfully developed this feature. 46 Sports have been well reported. The Alumni department has taken on new life this year, with letters from former Blake men. and the publishing of Who's W ho in the Alumni.” in addition to the usual notes. The Kxchange editor has published each month a general criticism of one department of a school paper. Humor has improved in the last few issues with the addition of many jokes of school interest. On the whole, the paper has received considerable c« mimendation. As the year has passed the students have increasingly contributed more generously toward making The Torch a literary success, hut there is still a big responsibility left to them which they have not shouldered. All in all. the board feels that it has completed a most satisfactory year in the history of the publication. The Kditor-in-Chief wishes to extend to Mr. Clough, the faculty advisor, his gratitude and appreciation for the assistance and advice which he has received. He also wishes to thank all those who have helped in any way to make possible the improvement of 'The Blake Torch during the year 1921-22. Horace .1. Nickels. Editor. Every Month Many events happen and then are forgotten: days come and go, weeks pass by. and years roll on with ease. There is one thing which comes and goes in material form. That is The Torch. We anticipate each issue of The Torch with all due enthusiasm; we contribute and we receive. It is value received. Very seldom has any student of Blake who is not on the magazine committee, stopped to realize what a student publication is. 'They don’t realize how difficult it is to produce and publish a book, even disregarding expenses. A student publication is to a school as an army is to a nation: everybody has to put his whole heart and soul into the thing or it i a failure. The publication represents the school: the army represents the nation. C. C. Card. 47 o IIALDWIN Ml KKl.S STRONG SI I El I ' N MU. WIimoMi: CHAV I’nKIM.KU DIETZ I.AXCWORTII Y LITE DWINXEI.I.

Hut he has to do with a very trying audience. It is the spectator at the amateur performance who is difficult. He is at once absurdly easy and maddeningly hard to please. Coming to the theatre in something of a deprecatory mood, he is eager, amiable, but restless, and not sufficiently detached to accept what is offered him quite seriously. “Can any good thing come out of my own community?” he takes solemn counsel with himself. He must be wooed to sympathy. He must be constantly thrilled and chilled; never for a moment can he be allowed to lapse into disinterest. Discretion, therefore, suggests a highly spiced evening of one-act plays. A single long piece makes too great a demand upon attention. Brevity is the soul of the amateur’s wit. I suggest this as one of the reasons for the complete success of the year’s offering by the Blake Dramatic Association. A nicely balanced program, full of interest and intensity. 1, for one. could ask nothing more alluring. A wistful fantasy was “The Singing Soul.” The notion of a bell whose eloquence has the magic ability to persuade a people to universal peace is perhaps not one of any great use to Mr. Hughes. Earl Balfour of Whitting-ham. and the rest, but its poetic value is considerable. There is a fragrant charm about the myth of the oriental lady who sacrifices her exquisite soul that the bell may find one. Played in just the right subdued key. and with a quite Eastern deliberation. “The Singing Soul” proved a lovely, moving thing. In the leading role, de Laittre (though he will want to do me physical hurt for saying so) was quite exquisite to look at and to hear. He read his lines with an astonishing appreciation of their musical as well as of their intellectual value. Of the others. Walker and Dwinnell were particularly gratifying. The suggestive settings, with soft lights playing across gray curtains, was most effective. There was a charming delicacy and fragility about the whole thing. “Peace Manoeuvers” is as robust and as intricate in design as a soldier’s play should be. Richard Harding Davis has done in this a broad satire— loud-mouthed, unsubtlc and wholesome. This being with me something of a family affair. I show a becoming delicacy, not unspiced with timidity, about mentioning the acting. (Not since Max Beerbohm was required to analyze 53 the acting of his brother. Sir Herbert Tree, lias the dramatic world met so trying a situation.) Suffice it to say that Gray and Strout were amusing in a sort of DcWolf I lopper-Francis Wilson combine. Strout’s owl-like method served him well, and the roar of Gray was terrifying to hear. Sheldon wore his blonde wig with easy grace and Horton Diet , as a member of the National Guard, carried his gun so jauntily that 1 felt impelled to write my Congressman protesting against the proposed army cut. (Of course, I tin night of “Three Soldiers” and did not.) Everyone who saw ‘‘The Clod” last year nodded his head sagely and murmured that it never could happen again. But it did. “The Monkey’s Paw” was a staggering performance. With not quite the exquisite technical perfection of the other play, it managed to be enormously effective, both as thriller and as heart-breaking tragedy. It did such strange things to me as only Bernhardt and Griffith and Liliom” and Charlie Chaplin have before accomplished. It left me depleted and gorgeously content, tense with awful fascination. Nickels duplicated his weird effectiveness of a year ago. That any boy should have at once such a wealth of passion and such perfect control seems so incredible that I do not try to grasp it. The average amateur in the abandonment of grief embarasses one with the feebleness of his reaction: the average trained player maddens with excess. Steering a judicious course between the two. this boy manages to be mystifyingly satisfactory. With his further equipment of voice and poise, he should be able to command a stage career, if he cares for it. 1 wo other performances were stunningly good. Baldwin created a real illusion ot petulant, lovable age. Douglas did a very finished—a really perfect—bit in the old warrior. Langworthy was picturesque and Pflaum contributed the dignity his part required. As a chaser to this stiff draught, the brisk farce, “Bills.” was an excellent selection. It served, moreover, to discover in Poehlcr a real comedic gift which should be developed. Dayton’s wig transformed him into an alluring housewife troubled with many things. Card has an enviable poise. I he whole spoke volumes f the intelligent, highly advanced, in the best sense piofessional, direction of R. 11. Whitcomb. It were easy to be rhapsodic and borrow adjectives from the imagist poets. But this performances deserves something better. It was dignified. James Okay. 54 55 IX)1 ;|.AS HASTINGS NICKK1.S MR. BARTON BALDWIN 56 Public Speaking The Lower School public speaking has brought out some good speakers, in fact the work of the entire Lower School has been highly creditable for this year. Conspicuous for excellent work are (Ieorge Christian and Frank Richards of the Third Form; Kenneth Foster and John Savage of the Second Form; and Kenneth Foster of the First Form. While the Fifth Year has not as yet developed any speaker quite worthy of being mentioned for exceptionally creditable work, almost every member of this class has acquitted himself well on every occasion. In fact, for consistently maintaining a high average of excellence in its speaking, this class is to be commended above any other in the school. In the Lower School next mention for a high average of excellence in performance should go to the Third Form. The Upper School public speaking has. like last year, suffered from the smallness of numbers in the two upper classes. Consequently there have not been many debates at school nor have there been many days for the discussion of current topics in extemporaneous speeches. Possibly on account of the infrequency of these performances the interest has not been as great nor the quality as high as should be attained in the future. The first of the public speaking contests to be held this year was the Williams Prize Essay and Speaking Contest. The best essays submitted in competition for this contest were those of Baldwin. Douglas. Nash. Nickels. ( wen. and Sudduth. Sudduth did not speak in the contest. The very excellent paper. “Are We Dealing Fairly With Japan? delivered by Horace J. Nickels, received the first prize. “The Passing of the Turkish Empire.’ by Robert (I. Baldwin, was awarded second prize, and Shubel Owen's excellent character sketch of Hugo Stinnes received honorable mention. Although individual members of former contests have surpassed, possibly, the excellence of any single performance this year, it is doubtful if any one of our recent Williams Theme contests has been better balanced or has achieved as high a degree of excellence as a whole as was attained this year. The competition in the Fifth Form for the right to participate in the Union Medal Contest resulted in the choice of (Ieorge I). Dayton. Sinclair II. Kingslev. Philip D. Maughan. Roger Page. Stuart Sheldon, and Edward Wells. Sickness prevented Roger Page from competing in the final contest. The selections which the contestants delivered were taken from noteworthy utterances of contemporary persons of prominence. The contest itself was of high quality and the speakers all acquitted themselves so well that there was nothing like a consensus of opinion as to who should have won. The judges awarded the medal to Edward P. Wells, whose declamation was “Is America Worth Saving? by Nicholas Murray Butler. Premier Aristide Briand’s “The Position of France.” delivered by Sinclair F. Kingsley, received honorable mention. 57 The Thorpe Cup Contest in extemporaneous speaking on the subject of Minnesota brought out three contestants—George Huntington, Bronson Langworthy and Philip McCaull. These' speakers had several weeks of preparation on the subjects which were to be used, but they were not told definitely which one each would have until ten minutes before the time of speaking. The subject assigned for the St. Paul debate was also used as the subject for the Junior-Senior debate. This subject was: “Resolved. That the system of national government as provided by the Constitution of the United States is more desirable than the Parliamentary system as exemplified by the government of England. Baldwin, Douglas and Nickels, the Senior team, supporting the negative side of the question, defeated the Junior team composed of Hastings. Pflaum and Langworthy. The members of the Senior team were chosen to represent Blake in the interscholastic debate with St. Paul Academy and Hastings was chosen as the alternate. It is to be regretted that the loss of this year’s debate to our rivals must be reported, the more so as it is the second successive year that this has happened. However, it was a close debate. The Blake Torch has this to say about it: “In what was perhaps the best of any of the debates between Blake and S. P. A., the Blake debaters went down to glorious defeat. Why glorious? Glorious because it was a fight to the last second and no one knew until the last few words of the judges who had won. It was so close that the decision could have been either way.” In a subject requiring the highly expert knowledge of a political scientist it was to be expected that there would be some deficiencies of information. There were such deficiencies on the part of both teams, but Blake's slips seemed to be the more damaging. It can be said also that the Blake representatives did not manifest, as fully as they fe’t. the desire and the will to win. The speaking seemed to fail to the fullest extent to manifest that quality of determination which makes the contender lose himself in his endeavor and thereby rise to hitherto unattainable heights of achievement. These criticisms may be sufficient to explain the narrow margin of defeat, or it may be that other points of criticism should also be mentioned. Be that as it may. our debaters brought credit to themselves and if they failed to bring back the coveted banner they did represent their school with high honor. Horace Nickels was awarded the Strieker Cup as the best debater of the year. Let’s bring back the debating banner. 58 AREN'T THESE THE GNATS) N05TRIL5?

They went out to the school for skating and sliding, hut a storm came up and stopped that. Until our picnic dinner was served we did nothing in particular, but passed away the time somehow. Soon dinner was ready, during the course of which Mr. ( lough threw doughnuts at one and all. After that we turned on the music (it was that kind of music) and danced. A little before the time to leave Baldwin tried to start his car. hut with no success. Therefore we all had to go out and help. After a great deal of difficulty and more than one having frozen his feet, hands or ears, we got it running and then discovered that Card was stuck, (iot him out shortly, though, and we then went home. Although we had no skating or sliding and the day was cold, everyone seemed to have a good time. Senior-Junior Dinners This year something of an innovation was tried in regard to the Senior dinners, namely the presence of the Junior class. This worked well, giving the Juniors a chance to share the benefits of these most delightful and helpful affairs. The combined classes had the privilege of listening to addresses upon various callings, including the railroad, department store management, journalism, and the ministry. The classes are indebted to Mr. Johnson for securing speakers of note and ability who brought us inspiring and timely messages. 61 Junior-Senior Dance The Junior-Senior Dance of l 2 lias gone on record as being one of the most successful functions in the history of the school. The evening was all that could he wished for. and the whole affair moved with almost unconceivable smoothness, 'l he “Gym” was tastefully decorated with I Make colors, and Japanese lanterns. The orchestra was hidden at the far end by palms, and the floor was in excellent condition, due to the unflagging zeal of the committee. Refreshments were served, which were a delight to the most fastidious, and the general air of the party was one of festive gaiety, even the august departing Seniors being now and then seen to smile. The committee in charge was Robert Xash, Robert Hastings and Clellan Card. The Milwaukee Dance On the evening of the game with the Milwaukee Country Day School, we were the hosts at a dance given for them to which the boys from St. Paul Academy were invited. The players did not seem overly tired and due partly to the orchestra there was a marvelous exhibition of pep. The refreshments left nothing to be desired, and the dance proceeded in a most efficient manner. A debt of gratitude is due to those mothers and faculty members who acted as chaperones. In all it was a huge success and a worthy entertainment for our guests. The Football Dance After the game with St. Paul Academy, the last game of the season, we had a dance at the country school. There was a good crowd and though the music was only two pieces it was nevertheless very good. To Dr. and Mrs. Card and Mr. and Mrs. Xickels goes the credit for the excellent refreshments. Though we didn’t win the game that afternoon we didn’t lose and so there was something to be celebrating for and we did it at the dance. Everybody had a lot of pep and everyone had a most enjoyable time. 62 63 I c C 7 C A ' 64 OWRX II ST IN (IS MU. l.t'CAS NASH Athletic Association President Robert I..

However, Blake did have a good season, breaking even in her three big games. The greatest disappointment of the season was the failure of enough candidates to be interested in the pre-season training camp which was conducted the previous year, to make it worth while running the camp. However. arrangements were made to begin practice at the school field one week before school opened. The greatest number of men that reported for this practice at any time before school opened was seven. It is doubtful if this kind of practice with so few men was of any benefit to the team later. The usual early season games were arranged for and played in a manner satisfactory to the coaches. These games were, two with Wayzata, one with North High Seconds, and one with the Alumni, and all were won except the Alumni game. On October 28 was played the first important game with St. Thomas High School. This game was lost 19-0, but Blake did well to hold the score down to three touchdowns. St. Thomas had clearly a better team. The next game, on November 4. was with U. High. In this game the teams were evenly matched and a good game was the result. Blake won by hard and consistent fighting. The last game of the season, on November 11, was with our oldest rivals, St. Paul Academy. The result of this was a 0-0 tie. St. Paul staved off a defeat by showing a brand of hard fighting which was not evident in the Blake team. Blake made the greatest number of first downs and was in a position to score in two instances. It is always more interesting to look forward than back. Those who have been interested in football at Blake have been longing for the time when enough men would report for practice to enable the coaches to have two teams of somewhat equal strength, and have more than one candidate for the same position. At present there are more boys in Blake of equal weight and strength who should try for positions the coming season than there have ever been in the history of the school. There are at least thirty. There are no stars of any magnitude in this group, and any boy who makes his letter next fall will have to work hard. For that reason alone the review of next season’s team should truthfully begin with the time worn phrase. “Best team in the history of the school. 71 72 73 74 75 Baseball In point of games won and lost the baseball season of 1921 was not a successful one. The team was greatly handicapped at the outset by not having an experienced pitcher. The batting and fielding of the team as a whole was above the average but not to such an extent as to overcome the weakness in the pitching department. There were only four veterans—Osborne, Owen, Krogness and Nash—from the previous year’s team. As the season progressed it was found necessary to shift Owen from third base to the catching department, leaving third to be covered by Nash. Osborne was likewise shifted from first base to second base. Tremaine covering first base. The other candidates who eventually won permanent berths on the team were Boutin as pitcher. Hastings as shortstop, and Giles as center fielder. Krogness played right field. As a consequence of these shiftings of positions the team did not realize its greatest strength until the season was half over. This increased strength was shown by the fact that after University I ligh won from us on our field we won the second game on their field. The last of May the team traveled to Milwaukee and easily won from the Milwaukee Country Day School by a score of 19 to 8. Osborne, Krogness and Baxter were lost to the team of 1922 by graduation. while Tremaine and Boutin failed to return to school, making it necessary to practically build a new team for 1022. 76 77 78 Nash.......

We greatly missed the aggressiveness of Kd. Osborne, last year’s captain. Our main failure this year was due to lack of that quality. We rounded out into fair form quite early in the season, but we improved little, if any. as the season progressed. We played quite well on the small home court, losing but two home games, but we were much less successful on the road. Sickness and minor injuries hindered us considerably toward the close of the season. Giles. Huntington. Hastings and Owen were all laid up, and their absence was keenly felt. For the closing game of the season, at St. Paul, we had reached low ebb. Captain Nash, playing on a sprained ankle tightly bandaged, was moved from center to forward in place of Giles, who was ill. McCaull substituted at center. Card replaced Huntington at guard, the latter being forced to withdraw through illness. Owen, despite an attack of indigestion. remained at guard. At that, the team made a respectable showing. The generalship of Captain Nash and the steady floor work of Owen were the outstanding features of the season. We will greatly miss these two athletes next year. With more experience on foreign courts, more of the never-say-die spirit and more cooperation in team play, we hope that next year we can better this year’s record of five wins and six losses. 82 JUNIOR SCHOOL $ 83 The Junior School The Junior School closed with an enrollment of seventy-one. We were glad to welcome several new boys during the year. The Christmas program was particularly enjoyable, due to the fact that Mr. Wilson was able to be present, lie was given a hearty welcome by the boys and the parents who were present. The first year boys gave a Christmas play. An interesting event of the year was the forming of an orchestra bv the Second Year boys under the direction of Miss Xygaard. John Hunt acts as conductor. Fred Nash. Dexter Andrews and John Ireys have proven themselves to be expert drummers and have assisted Miss Xygaard in furnishing music for the morning march. Mr. Reget has helped the Third and Fourth Year boys to enjoy the afternoon play during the fall and winter months, but was unable to finish the year. The Fourth Year class formed a baseball team under the direction of Mr. (ieorge Lamb. Henry Tristler was elected captain. They played one game out at the Country School. W alter Cage and John McLane made valuable substitutes. The First and Second Year boys have been interested in making a garden which they hope to enjoy when they return in the fall.

Rut as all stories go, she met a handsome young city chap who arrived at the town one day. He was one of those kind-hearted, easy-going young salesmen who are very much amused at all of the “big doings” in a “little” town. It was this way: He was in the main store of the town, trying to get the girl’s hard-boiled father to purchase a gross of his galvanized shirt fronts, when in came the girl. Now the girl’s father, like all fathers of girls, was very much put out at the sad line the would-be salesman was handing him and was just about to use the hook when the girl’s beautiful voice interrupted: “Lay off that guy, pa, or I’ll knock you for a row of peanut stands!” She said all this as she was caressing a brick which she had torn from the wall with her bare hands. It is needless to say that “father ceased his frowns” and put on his most welcome smile and said : “Yes, Mr. Jones. I was just awaiting my daughter’s decision: I shall take four gross.” “Oh. Leander, is this your daughter? You know. I thought you were her grandfather—now. how stupid of me”—all with a suave smile. “By the way. Jossominee. meet Mr. John Morgan Jones—he i our salesman from the city.” Whereupon the old man departed into the back end of the store, leaving the two to stand gazing romantically into one another’s eyes. If. The second scene is laid in the same store at about the same time, the only change in the scenic effects is that the old man sold a can of coffee and has just rung up the cash register. Truly. 1 don’t know why I call it the second scene, but—well, what do you want to know for, any way? When I started this story I was going to have the guy get married to the girl, set the old man’s store on lire and flee to the city of New York. They would immediately fall into great wealth, have six or eight limousines and touring cars and a large family of children. Well, on thinking over the idea thoroughly. 1 deemed it best not to have a plot at all; but the pupil of Blake who can write out a conclusion which will be accepted by the ablest of English critics as good work, will receive a grand and glorious prize. 89 1. The letters N. S. F. on Mr. Foss’ checks do not mean Not Sufficient Funds.” 2. Any one that comes out of an interview with Mr. Johnson “feet first” is safe. 3. When Poehler made his re-entrance in Hills” it was a matter of “saying it with flour.” 4. Calcy admits he’s the big boy at Princeton. 5. Baldwin says a fit answer for the inquiry, Who are the waiters at thi table? would be, “We are.” 6. Van Dusen thinks it’s a case of assault to the battery when he hears the baseball slang. They’re hitting our pitcher. S. Perhaps it would be well to express, before we forget it. public appreciation to Card, who instituted the golf trouser fad. “By the Roadside Mr. Whitcomb’s golf course is developing first rate. but who will play on it? Surely Mr. Whitcomb didn’t make plans to pay for the grass seed. It is rumored that Dick Douglas is going into business as sample distributor for the Salvation Army. Butler is so la .v that he recommended that Blake put a soft rubber floor in the study hall, so he wouldn’t have to walk on his tip-toes to preserve silence. Since the new swimming pool has been built at Blake the masters have had difficulty in getting the boys to go home nights. Mr. Barton is planning on a sea trip this summer, lie intends to nail his car onto a rowboat, put oar-locks on the doors, and row the Mediterranean sea. In Memoriam: We wish to express our sincere sympathy for the disap- pointment which Nickels received on looking up his family tree and finding he was the sap. 90 Honors and Prizes For the Year 1920-1921 Senior Department Upper School Scholarship Prizes First—Sinclair II.

RE you going to start saving today or wait until later in life and then try to save enough faster to make up for the lost time? Every dollar you save today will double or even triple itself by the time you reach middle life. Compound interest works wonders if you give it a chance. So it’s expensive not to save now. iiv: Ni'ir i von Accorxr Wells-Dickey Trust Company SECOND AVENUE SOUTH AND FIFTH STREET MINNEAPOLIS TROY LAUNDRY TENTH STREET AND CHICAGO AVENUE Main 2089 “Your Bosom Friend” F.

He is the treasurer of a neighborhood tennis club, whose members are all young, successful business men. In response to the annual call for dues, the members sent their checks, and every member of the club carried his account at The Northwestern. 'THESE young men are all typical, up-and-coming business men. In choosing their banking connection they chose an up-and-coming bank, one that would be a credit to their standing and an assistance in their work.
