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
