As we near the end of our career we realize more strongly than ever before what Blake has meant to us. The majority of the class has attended school here for over five years. 1 hey have literally grown up in the school. Wc feel, that in so growing up here, we have not taken the shape of the school, but have drawn from the many opportunities offered and then added what we ourselves possessed. Not feeling overly self-conscious at speaking of ourselves in such a fashion, we believe that this, the class of ’24. has been a very line class and has given freely of what it had to the school. W e have been well represented in all forms of school activities including scholarship. All told we are quite proud of our class and of the enthusiasm and vigor with which it has done everything. We feel justly pardoned for praising ourselves in this way: for everything which we have done or undertaken has been accomplished through the direct or indirect influence of our class advisor, Mr. Cleveland.

Now then, it is a good time to look back over our years at Blake and review our history, as presented in the activities of the school. Hence we offer this History with the hope that you will bear with us a while, as we voice a bit of pride, perhaps in our accomplishments. As Lower Schoolers we did nothing brilliant, as was quite fitting, for a class of our inferior standing. However, we took part in the athletics and public speaking to an extent which was to be expected. As Second and Third Formers, one of our members headed the Lower School in scholarship. Upon entering the L’pper School, we immediately began to clamor for attention. when Giles made the winning football varsity team as end. Only on rare occasions does a freshman get on a varsity team, and we are proud of our representative for doing it. Two other members were also on the squad, but did not get their letters. The next year as Sophomores, we were called upon for our first real participation in activities. Giles again made his football letter, and with him were three other members of our class. In basketball we distinguished ourselves, winning the inter-class championship, and placing five members on the first squad. In due form we entered the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, the Blake Union Medal prize going to Ed Wells. This year we received our first experience in dramatics, and placed six members in the plays. Gray and Stout starred with their interpretation of Buck Miley and Ikey Schwab, as anyone who saw them will easily remember. We repeated our performance of last year, at this time and gave a very successful Fifth Form dance at the country school. A good portion of the class went out for baseball, and Giles again won his letter. As Juniors we had a very busy year due to the fact that the Senior class contained only four members. In all our varied attempts this year, we may say, without boastfulness, that we were successful. The Torch Board, with the exception of two Seniors, was composed of Juniors. The debating team, which unfortunately lost to S. P. A. was made up of Juniors, with Kingsley as its captain. The Strieker Cup for excellence in debating, a trophy awarded each year, was won by Kingsley. The Thorpe Cup for extemporaneous speaking on important explorers of Minnesota went to Carson Jamieson. In the same proportion as the Torch, the Call o’ Pan Board was composed principally of members from our class, and they put a very good publication at the end of the year. In dramat- ics we were equally conspicuous, for the leading character in each play, was represented by a Junior. In athletics we also starred. Giles was captain of the foot ball team, and there were five others of his class to back him up. In basketball it was quite universally conceded that without Norton, they would have beei decidedly inferior. He exhibited the punch and drive that we might have expectet from his performance on the football team. Giles and Mills also played goo basketball. Boutin showed himself to be an excellent pitcher last year, and witl Giles as catcher formed a combination hard to beat. There were besides these, three other Juniors on the team, from whom Norton was elected captain for next year’s team. In the Blake Union for the first time, we were obliged to offer our inexperienced tongues and minds as contributions to the discussions, debates and papers. At last, as Seniors, we entered into the busiest year of our school lives, fortunate enough to have a large class among whom to divide the various activities. We became the leaders of the school in every form of endeavor, as it is proper for a Senior class to do. Giles, for the second time, captain of the football team led his team through a successful season, the second 100% schedule in which he has taken part. More than half the team were Seniors, and thus we maintained our superiority in athletics. Basketball was discontinued as a major sport this year; so inter-class games furnished the sole indoor exercise. We upheld our dignity as Seniors by winning the championship, being closely contested by the Juniors. As this is written, the baseball squad is just being put into shape, with Norton as captain, hence no record there can be set down. The Williams’ Theme Contest in which original declamations on subjects chosen from a list submitted to us was entered by five of our members. Kingsley won the first place with his declamation entitled Benito Mussolini. This year there are seven seniors on the Torch Board. There arc five on the Call o’ Ban Board. The Debating Team had two Seniors, and this year they were successful in breaking the string of defeats scored by S. B. A. This year the Dramatic Association, the largest in its history, contained eleven Seniors, with Don Newhall as its Bresident. For some unac-countable reason all but two of our members belong to the Union, but this fact has doubtless been the cause of the best year in a long while. Giles was the Bresident the first half-year, and Dayton during the second. This year’s Student Council, with Don Newhall as its head, was an improvement over last year, but was far from perfect.. There is much room for improvement in this field, and we earnestly hope to see it. An innovation this year was the presence of a choir to help in the singing during Chapel. There is no doubt that the deep voices of the Seniors in it are an inspiration to the rest of the jealous songsters. Another new feature was the absence of Masters in the study hall, at the suggestion of the Union. The school had signified its willingness to give student government at least a trial. Thus far the system is not a distinct success. Council members are in charge of the room, one during each period, and are permitted to recommend the giving of various penalties for infraction of the rules. This is another thing that we would like to see improve in coming years. Let us hope that with experience, it may become successful. This in brief, is the History of the class of 1924. 'There have been more creditable over and less, we trust, but we feel assured that our record is above average. It is with a sense of satisfaction that we close our records at Blake, leaving the school in body, but not in mind, and look forward expectantly to the years to come. Georc.k D. Dayton, ’24. DANGER THREATENS. Nfl-WE'RI NOT COED. CAUGHT in we ACT. JUNIOR HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS From the beginning of the year the class of 1925 has been marked out to do much for the school. Kvery branch of school activity has found assistance from the Juniors. Several Juniors made the football team; on the hockey team we were well represented. In the inter-class basketball tournament the Juniors came out in second place. The Debating Team was made up of two Juniors and two Seniors, while the Torch and Call o’ Pan Boards were greatly aided by Juniors. As in everything else the Sixth Form was represented in dramatics, for every play had more than one Junior member. There is no doubt that the class of 1925 has fulfilled its charge as the Junior class. So the only remaining question is, will it prosper as the Senior class? Next year will answer this question and very likely the answer will be in the affirmative. IV FORMS V .. ■ IV FORM When we came back in the Fall of 1923 our class was sorry to lose seven of its old members, but proud to have the addition of four new ones. Odell, President, Thomas, Vice-President and Savage, Treasurer were the officers for the first half of the year. “Wy” Ford won a position on the varsity football team, while the best part of the Third team was composed of Fourth Formers. Mayer, Levering and hurst won letters on the Lower School team. In the Founders Day game we were well represented. Hockey played an important part in athletics this year as basketball was not played except for the inter-class games. Dickey and Ford played on the Upper School team, while Mayer and hurst were on the Lower School team. Mayer made his letter and Furst was a substitute. On account of the mild and short winter there wasn’t much hockey to be played. When the hockey season came to a close, the inter-class basketball games began. Although our team didn’t make a very good showing in the number of games won. the whole team was fighting hard and giving their opponents stilt opposition every minute. About the middle of the Winter term a choir was organized of which “Wy” Ford was a member. “ v also played in one of the four plays given by the Blake Dramatic Association. Guy Thomas went to Florida shortly after the Winter term opened. Ldgar Nash has been in California this winter and did not attend school. Taking everything as a whole we feel that we have been fairly successful as the Freshmen class. However, we hope to do better next year. Closing the Freshmen year we feel a great indebtedness to our class advisor, Mr. Whitcomb, who has been our constant guide and help during the past year. V FORM In the fall of 1923, a great majority of Fifth Formers went out for football. Bardwell and Thorpe won letters on the varsity and helped make the team have a 100% season. The rest played on the second and third teams. On Founders Day the members of the class gave a take-off on public speaking under George McCabe as Mr. Barton. This of course was intended to be funny; but to turn to the serious side of public speaking. The fact that eight boys contested for the Blake Union Medal shows that there is public-speaking ability in the Fifth Form. All did excellent work. With basketball abolished as a major winter sport, a hockey team was formed under the careful guidance of Mr. Blanpied’s several games were played with S. P. A. The class was represented by Bardwell, Robinson and Dodge. Fight boys did creditable work in three of the four plays put on by the I )ramatic Association. The average of the Fifth Form in scholarship was high, as usual. All in all, this year has been very successful, and we wish to thank Mr. Clough as our class advisor for helping to make it so. THE CHAMPS” (?) TILDES HIMSELF SUCH FARM THE HETMAN OH WEU HAT ! HAVE U)E HERE? DH TEACHER! 7MEVER AGAIN J Ill FORM The Third Form has had a very successful year. It had the largest class in the school with twenty-five boys, six of whom were new this year. The officers were: John Hollern. President; Henry Cook. Vice President; and Robert Macnie and Charles Johnson, Secretary. Most of the class went out for football in the fall. The letter men were: Hollern, Head. Cook, Crosby. Johnson. Dayton, Ramsden. in baseball Hollern, Head, Chandler, Christian. Cook, Crosby, Doerr, Gummery and Foster. The Lower School had three dances; about half the class attended these. Several of the boys gave parties. Public Speaking has gone fairly well this year. Some of the best are: Foster, McDonald and Gage. Kach month six or seven boys were on the honor roll. On Founder’s Day we put on a stunt in which we featured .Mr. Lamb and Mr. Whitcomb. Our class had a good attendance at most of the school activities. All in all we have had a good year and we are very much indebted to Mr. Aylward. our class advisor. Charles C. Johnson ’28. THE SECOND FORM The officers for the Second Form were as follows: President. F. Schermerhorn; Vice President, R. MacGregor; Secretary and Treasurer. R. Rizer. During the winter different members of our class gave parties at the Mini-kahda Club. MacGregor gave a skating party which everybody liked. We skated a while then had refreshments and went up stairs and played tag around the lockers. Wells gave a dandy party out there. After refreshments Huzza told ghost stories which were interesting. It was a good party. G. Crosby came back this year. He is fine. B. Peet came back from Florida. He is a little behind in Latin. J. Bamum did not come back after Faster vacation. He is now going to Jefferson Jr. High School. Many of the Second Form tried out for the Lower School Football Team. R. Macgregor and C. Pierson were the only ones who got letters. The others who tried were: L. Welles, R. Rizer, F. Schermerhorn. Our form got the best record in Public Speaking for the Winter Term. Mr. Cleveland drilled us in speaking. C. Pierson and L. Welles started the class on getting interested on the Scouts. The following are members of Troop No. 27: C. Pierson, L. Welles, T. Lawrence, J. Olmsted, R. Rizer, W. Robertson, R. MacGregor, and F. Schermerhorn. On Founders’ Day we had a horse race. L. Wakefield won. Huzza fell off his horse and dislocated his arm. Mr. Lucas is our class advisor. We have had a good year in athletics and studies. Our average for one month was 85.00 F. SCHERMERHORN. 4 ft vV.‘ FIRST FORM We think that the hirst horm has had a very successful year. At the end of the baseball season we had a series with the Second Form. We won both 6-0 and 12-6. Joe Cantillon was captain. We had no hockey team although two of our Korin played on the Lower School Hockey Team. They were Douglas Robinson and Joe C antillon. Also some of our class made some records in skiing. Morden McCabe and Walter Walker gave movie parties. John I revs gave a dancing party. The officers of the First Form were: John I revs...........................................................President Fran k I ’lant.............................................................Vice President Dorr,las Roimnson...........................................Secretary Treasurer Frank Plant. PREP YEAR This year’s Prep year has been very active. In athletics we had three teams, football, hockey and baseball. Our football team played a good game with the First Form team in which we lost. Our hockey didn’t get very well started because the ice didn’t last very long. Our baseball team was the most successful. We played Hopkins. First Form and the Junior School. Our greatest achievement was the presenting of a stereopticon to the Prep Year Classes of following years.

Dear Mr. Johnson: We Alumni feel that our association is slowly coming into its own. and that we will be able as we grow older and increase in numbers to be to Blake at once the guide, counsellor and friend that the college Alumni associations are to their Alma Maters. As an association, we are very young, and our accomplishments are few, but our main hope is to build a sound foundation that will endure for the future. We have, however, maintained for the past few years the Blake Alumni Association Scholarship and are looking forward to the not distant future when we will be able to support another scholarship of this same kind. A more comprehensive organization has been attained this year by the appointment of secretaries throughout the ten graduated classes. These secretaries have for the most part willingly responded to the call for Alumni notes for the Blake Porch” and the Alumni Department of that worthy publication is larger than ever. We believe that copious Alumni notes not only help hold the association together, but also bring us more closely in contact with the Blake undergraduates. The Alumni show a deeper interest, individually and collectively, in the boys at the school than you may imagine. We follow their progress after graduation with a jealous eve. as we believe that the foundation which Blake gives her graduates should and does prove equal to that given by any preparatory school in the country. We are eager to note the honors won by Blake graduates in their college careers. These honors, as you well know, have come to the sons of Blake with gratifying regularity. The war record of Blake Alumni is a matter of pride to the school, and we feel that the success in the professions and business that may be expected from Blake Alumni will not only reflect favorably upon their school but will allow them to be of more material assistance as time goes on. 1 speak of these things that the school may realize that the Alumni have precedents and standards of a very high grade by which they measure the present undergraduates and I am gratified to be able to report that we feel that these standards have not only been lived up to but in part surpassed. I therefore take this opportunity to express the deep appreciation of the Blake Alumni Association for the work which the trustees of Blake School, the Head Master, and the faculty have done and are doing for Blake School. I am. Yours very truly, Howard R. Selovek, President, Blake Alumni Association. HRS M ALUMNI DINNER The annual luncheon of the Alumni of Blake School was held at the Curtis Hotel, on Wednesday, December 26 at 12:30, twenty-seven alumni being present, out of fifty-eight acceptances. Barney Clifford, the President of the Association, presided. Dr. Henry W. Cook, introduced by the President of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, spoke for the Trustees upon the importance of vital interest and activity of the Association both to the School and to the community. Short talks on various phases of school activities of interest to the Alumni were given by Messrs. Johnson, Foss, Blanpied, and Horne. The nominating committee, Regan, Gregg, and F. M. Crosby, Jr., presented the nominations for officers for the ensuing year: President, Howard Selover; Vice President, F. T. Chapman, Jr.; and Secretary-Treasurer, Vincent McLane. After a flashlight had been taken, and the Alma Mater sung, the meeting was adjourned. Alumni secretaries: 1923 Philip McCaull, 2750 Park Ave., 1918 Willis W. Osborne, Oak Grove City.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, as the name implies, is a body of students elected by their fellow classmates as representative functionaries of the school. The members of the Council are placed in a closer contact with the faculty, thereby promoting a better understanding between the men and the boys. It is often wondered by many just what a Council as a governing body of the school accomplishes during the year. To be perfectly frank, the Council has accomplished nothing definite, but has merely attempted to reach its aim. During the year previous the matter of student government was broached, accepted, and put to test. The movement on this line was not a complete success, but the germ was deeply imbedded. This year in a Union meeting Student Government was again brought up. Then it was thoroughly discussed, its virtues praised, its faults criticized. The outcome of this meeting was a plan, to be furthered by the members of the society, namely that class meetings of the Upper School be held and a vote taken to ascertain its viewpoint on the subject. Almost without an exception the vote was unanimous. Later on the Union gave its complete approval of the idea and with the full sanction of the Headmaster the matter was laid before the student body. It was favorably received and the Council had only to put the proposed plan into use. After much discussion a workable plan was adopted and Student Government was for the second time inaugurated at the school. Unlike the year before it was thought expedient to carry out the plan through every study period, thus giving the students a better chance to grasp it and realize its merits. Naturally as in all such matters there were a number of fellows espied what they thought, an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy themselves under this new regime, but these seeming insurgents were quickly brought to see differently. After the novelty of the thing had worn off the majority settled down to their normal stride. True enough there have been frequent backsliders and subsequent punishments, but this was not more than could be expected. Everyone seemed to be entirely favorable toward the idea, but not all conformed to the necessary rules. In some instances there was an utter lack of responsibility and devil-may-care attitudes, which has done more to retard the progress of the matter than anything else. If Student Government can once become an established custom in the school the way will be easy. Last year the idea was new and therefore a novelty. Consequently it was received rather reluctantly, as if the students were afraid of it. But this year it was welcomed gladly and. comparatively speaking, with open arms. The setting up of a precedent would probably do a great deal toward the firm establishment of Student Government. Each succeeding year the idea will be taken more seriously and with more point until the ultimate goal is reached. The Council has done its best to perfect the system as much as possible. But it is not a thing that can be accomplished in one short term. It will probably take years of effort. Although the Council has by no means been overwhelmingly successful in its attempts at Student Government, nevertheless it has progressed to a marked degree from the point where last year’s Council stopped. It is sincerely hoped that in future years Student Government will become a permanent institution of Blake School and that future Councils will use their best endeavors to see this hope a reality. BLAKE UNION Although there were a great many new members in the Union which made it rather hard to get started, the Blake Union has just completed one of the most successful years in its history. The new members soon learned the ropes and buckled down to work. The programs of the meetings have followed the same general lines as last year and preceding years. The meetings have consisted of debates, declamations, papers, extemporaneous speeches, open discussions, and a mock trial. The mock trial was quite successful, with Sudduth being accused of bootlegging. Gray acted as judge. S. Newhall, as attorney for the defense, McCaull as prosecuting attorney, and Page and Giles as witnesses. The rest of the Union served as the jury. Following the innovation of last year one meeting was devoted to a discussion of a school topic of vital importance. In this meeting the “Student Govern ment” question was thoroughly discussed, and this discussion furnished the material for a later debate on the same subject. It was from this meeting that the “Student Government” movement got started, which has been of such great importance in the school this year. The Union is greatly indebted to Professor Leroy Arnold of Mainline University who gave us readings from the Christmas Carol and Hiawatha. We are also very grateful to Mr. Johnson for lus whole-hearted and unselfish devotion to the interests of the Union. The boys who are leaving this year have a feeling of sorrow at severing our connection with the Union, but looking ahead, we can see another successful year for those remaining.

R. Blanpied THE CALL O’ PAN W hen school started last September the Call o’ Pan Board found itself somewhat handicapped by the loss of its Assistant Literary Editor. 1'his caused a seemingly irreparable hole in the Board. But it was finally remedied by elevating Atwood, the Photo Editor, to that position and creating a new Photo Editor from Clifford, one of the assistants. During the football season practically no work at all was accomplished in any department. But at the close of the season work on advertisements was started. Nearly every afternoon at least one boy was sent in to solicit advertisements. With the first attack, they seemed to literally roll in. But during the winter term progress seemed inexplicably slow and those not intimately associated with the advertising department chaffed at the delay. Work by the photo section was begun the earliest of any department but those connected with that end did not start early enough for good football action pictures, to say nothing of suitable individual snapshots, were sadly lacking. The various group pictures were called for Saturday mornings. They were all taken at the Sweet studio. Everyone realizes what a tedious task it is to corral a group of boys on a Saturday morning but itwas accomplished adequately, all due to the untiring energies of the Editor-in-Chief. The Literary department under the leadership of Norton was slow in getting under way, but through the press of necessity, wonders were accomplished. Hardly a day passed when one could not find Clifford wandering about the grounds, kodak in hand, ‘‘shooting” the various activities of winter and spring. A new feature was inaugurated in the Call o’ Pan this year; that is an Alumni section, devoted to snapshots and accounts of the doings of Alumin residing in Minneapolis. The original idea was to secure pictures of the Alumni members possessing families. But this was finally abandoned because of the extreme difficulty in securing the pictures. Nevertheless a page of alumni snaps disregardless of the kind, were substituted. In co-operation with the Torch, the Board also has a picture of the Alumni banquet which took place at the Curtis Hotel in the Christmas vacation. Another new feature of the 1924 Call o’ Pan which the Board believes is something entirely novel and instigation of interest hitherto unknown, is the four full page scene pictures with the color plate background. This increases the beauty of the book tenfold. Like every other Call o’ Pan board the 1924 Board sincerely believes that this year’s Call o’ Pan is the best book that has ever been put out and the best that ever will be published in the future Uditor-in-chicf Philip F.

We feci that in being called upon to write a review of the 'Porch, we are called upon to make an explanation. Wc welcome the opportunity. W e feel that a good school magazine should have originality, advertisements and regularity. In view of the fact that school life is very likely to l e routine the world over, the only originality that can be expected lies in a new reaction to an old cause. Phis implies the newspaper instinct, what we know as a “nose for news.” An ability to see something new and different in something old. Whether Blake j ossesses anyone that answers that description is a question which, if answered, will solve the future quandary of the 'Porch Boards. Advertisements we know to he necessary for a reason which we can all readily conceive. Regularity is mentioned as an admirable method of maintaining dignity. This year the Torch has had a gleam of originality here and there. Phis is encouraging. But the fact that the Board has recognized the need and efficacy of inventive treatment of a comparatively narrow range is more encouraging. A premium has been set on anything that tended away from the hackneyed. Though this sort of thing may not have flowed in voluminously, still a recognition of the flow is bound to lead to an increase. The advertising end of the 1923-24 Porch has been very ably handled by Don Xewhall and his assistants. Financially this has been one of the magazine’s best years. As for regularity, we offer but one alibi; the temperamental treatment of the situation by the printers. Wc wish to call particular attention to the Alumni Department, which we think has this year surpassed any other department of this or former years. We do not consider this year’s effort to have been a huge success, nor do wc call it a failure. The Board has opened its eyes to the difficulties, has appealed to the student body, and has at least aimed at originality. PUBLIC SPEAKING The public speaking work of the Lower School has not been quite up to the high standard set a year ago. However the programs have usually been good and frequently interesting. Kenneth Foster, Carter McDonald, Martin Wales, Frederick Atkinson, John Dalrymple, and John Bovey deserve mention for superior work. In the Upper School the point of greatest interest is the fact that our debates have been so much better this year than they have been for a number of years past. Practically every debate held merited the comment that it was one of the best debates held after lunch and in every case the comment was deserved. The current events discussions were not quite up to this standard. The Fifth Form, it would seem, ought to furnish a large percentage of the country’s future orators. No less than eight of their members were chosen for the Declamation Contest after trials. The successful candidates for this contest were: Francis Bean, Frederick Brauer, Lucius Bugbee, Robert Bugbee, Robert Harvey, George McCabe, Frank Richards, and Harry Robinson. Harry Robinson’s selection, “War” taken from Leslie’s Weekly, showed perfect memory; an easy, pleasing presence; and a restrained, appreciative delivery. Me was awarded the Union Medal. Robert Harvey delivered, in a masterful manner, a plea for the proper care of the immigrant and secured honorable mention. Comment characterized this contest as the best of recent years, and emphasized the high degree of excellence of all the speakers. It is felt by the writer that the work of Robert Bugbee and George McCabe should be classed only slightly below that of the ones already mentioned. The contest in extemporaneous speaking on a subject concerned with Minnesota for the Thorpe Cup was won by John Atwood who spoke on Minnesota, the National Playground. The Williams Theme and Speaking Contest brought out a number of interesting papers, some on current problems and personalities of prominence, others reviewed the lives of persons prominent in the making of the Northwest. Sinclair Kingsley's review of the life and work of Benito Mussolini was interesting and showed insight and was properly awarded first prize. Roger Page’s interesting review of the life of John S. Pillsbury was awarded second place. The question assigned by our Academy rivals for the annual debate between the two schools: Resolved: That the surtax on individual incomes of any size should not exceed twenty-five percent. Blake chose to support the affirmative of this question. From about eight candidates the team was finally narrowed down to Kingsley, Captain. Newhall, S., Walker, W., and Gray, Alternate. The technical nature of the subject made the process of preparation very difficult. The fact that Mr. Lamb brought his thorough knowledge of the subject to our assistance was a very important factor in the excellent work of the team. In the debate itself the Academy debaters excelled in the smoothness and effectiveness of their oral presentation, but the debate was awarded to Blake due to superior argument and logical arrangement. In the rebuttal in particular the ability to ignore arguments of little weight and stress the real issues of the debate contributed in large measure to Blake’s success. Stanley Newhall’s very excellent work was adjudged the best on the Blake side by the judges and so to him went the Strieker Cup, the award for the best debater of the year. And now the Debating Banner, after too long an absence again adorns our walls. Let us strive by every possible means to keep it here. This means among other things that we must bring up the standard of all our public speaking exercise. our weekly debates or current events discussions; that the chances for the discussions in the open forum must be more largely utilized; that the Williams and Thorpe contests should receive greater and more earnest competition, particularly the Thorpe contest; that we must maintain and even raise the high standard of excellence set by this year’s regular debate programs and the declamation contest; and finally that every bit of our debating material must be out in earnest competition for the team next year. Blake must retain the Banner in 1925! BLAKE SCHOOL. DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION (Season 1923-1924) Donald Newhall -Philip Gray -William Suddutli William Luce Hudson Walker Charles Clifford Mr. K. H.

The credit for the linking of this country day school dramatic association with the general dramatic interest of the community, is due first of all to the untiring energy and enthusiasm of its coach, and then to that invaluable cooperation of faculty and student body to make this event each year a little better than the years before, and to give to the production some one distinguishing quality, which other amateur performances may lack. That distinguishing quality of this year’s performance, seemed, to one spectator at least, on the night of April 5 to be the very evident enjoyment each boy had for the job in hand, and the resulting freshness and spontaneity in the ensemble. The rehearsals, extended over months of time, had not left that inertness of individual and mass performance, which has unfortunately come to characterize many amateur plays. Especially was this true of “Free Speech ”, the second play on the program, written by a Minneapolis man, Mr. Win. I’rosser. The spirit and variety of this piece was distinctly marked, and honorable mention on this play goes to Frank Richards, William Luce, and Edward St rout. The first play was the only one of the evening’s program of four, which admitted women into two parts of the three, and these were so successfully handled by both mistress and maid, as to make the audience wish for more, which was undoubtedly the tantalizing impression the coach wished to create. In this play “Where But in America?’’ the smooth work of Earl Welch and Arthur Buffington presented a clear background for the really remarkable performance of Theodore Bennett as that most independent and never-to-be-imitated American product, the “hired girl”- Mrs. D. R. Blaxtied. Few one act plays equal in effectiveness Lord Dunsany's “A Night at an Inn”. It belongs among the classics of briefer drama. With a quite uncanny skill it combines realism and fantasy. The rough sailors of Dunsany's creation are as actual as the Court House clock but it is the poet-dramatist’s extraordinary talent that makes their spookish snatching from life also plausible. Two irreconcilable things in drama have been miraculously reconciled and the result is a dramatic sketch of rare effectiveness. The story is of three rough characters who under the leadership of a swanky fellow have looted a heathen idol in India of the ruby which serves it as an eye. With their booty they secrete themselves in the deserted inn. They are followed by the priests of the robbed temple. These heathen clerics they manage to kill. But while they are celebrating their deliverance, the idol itself enters, claims the stolen property and mysteriously reeks its vengeance on the robbers. It was played on April 5 by the members of the Blake Dramatic Association with fine spirit. The brooding tone (upon which effectiveness largely depends) was established with the rise of the curtain and the intensity grew until its fall. The players managed to keep their poise even when we of the audience lost our nerve entirely and giggled uncontrollably at the fearsome idol. Kingsley played the toff” precisely as he should be played: with dignity, breeding (a quality seldom imparted to the toff’s of amateurs) and restraint. As the three sailors Walker, Dayton and Gray were all excellent. The climax in which each, uncomprehending, terror-smitten, pitiable, is drawn by an unseen force off to his destruction was an irresistingly moving moment. “Action”, a swift moving farce in which pretty much the whole cast lies dead or wounded at the fall of the curtain was a pleasant little hit of grotesquerie reducing Prohibition (among other things) to a deserved absurdity. It was evidently the work of a warv author for the dramatic effectiveness of the frequent repetition on the stage of the word “Papa” particularly if spoken by a full grown youth was abundantly recognized. Dwinnell and Dietz in the roles of “Papa” and his son were very droll indeed. It topped the program off pleasantly. Ja.mks Gray. REPORT OF ATHLETICS ADVISORY BOARD The Athletic Advisory Hoard this year, as in other years, took it part in the school activities. The Association this year was able, through an increase in the financial facilities to send two teams to Milwaukee. In the near future it is the very sincere wish of the Association to be able to equip all athletic teams with the necessary articles. 'Phis will be a great asset to the school and to the student body. We must not fail to mention the fact that we need more Right, not only in the teams themselves, but in every school activity. John (). (iii.Es, President. SHORT STORY CLUB At the beginning of the Winter Term, the Short Story Club was again organized and Mr. Cleveland kindly offered to be the reader. Out of the two Upper Classes about fifteen joined the Club and Atwood was chosen to arrange the meeting places. The first meeting was held at Sinclair Kingsley’s house, and Mr. C leveland read two interesting stories containing a great many French terms. The second meeting was held at John Atwood’s, where Mr. Cleveland read two gruesome stories, which everyone enjoyed. The third meeting was held at Bill Dwinnell's and Mr. Cleveland read a mystery story. The Newhall’s entertained the Club at the last meeting. Mr. Cleveland read a very interesting story on the Franco-Prussian war. Refreshments were served at every meeting as soon as the reading was finished. Mrs. Cleveland usually accompanied Mr. Cleveland and we sincerely thank them for devoting their Sunday evenings to reading ot the Short Story Club. ORCHESTRA The Blake Orchestra was organized shortly after the close of the football season. It experienced some difficulty in getting under way however, on account of the lack of a pianist. Finally, a recruit, in the form of R. Dietz, was enlisted and it held its initial practice. Much may he omitted concerning the more or less melodious harmonies which arose from the music room during that first practice, but still that is to be expected. Every Friday afternoon it practiced diligently at the school. After a few such rehearsals one Friday after lunch the Orchestra made its debut. Its innovation was not greatly praised, but the players were not all expectant of any amount of applause. From then on it played once a week before the school, generally on Friday. Weekly it acquired more skill until finally the lordly Seniors condescended to let the Orchestra play for them at one of their sliding parties. It performed better than usual and gained much praise. However its honest efforts were not rewarded in any manner. After this its orchestra life was by no means a hard one. The players had no more engagements until the night of the Blake vs. S. I . A. debate. Here again the Orchestra played although it was greatly handicapped since its star player Bennett had the foresight to lose his drums. Then its violinist was also absent. The result may be imagined. There then ensued a long interlude interrupted by no engagements whatsoever and only by infrequent rehearsals. Phe last public performance was on Alumni Day when the Orchestra played during lunch. From then on the Orchestra has faded into dim obscurity. When all were present the line was as follows: Piano R.

A. 6 1923 FOOTBALL For the second time in recent years the winners of the “B” in Football merited the individual gold football instead of the sweater. 'Phis means a 100% season. The best thing about it. however, was not the winning of all the games but the lighting spirit that characterized the playing throughout the season. The tirst chapter was the Football Camp before school opened and it was a “howling’’ success, although the number was disappointing. Hopkins went clown first before the Blake onrush, losing a 35 to 0 game. The features of this game were Giles goal kicking and off tackle runs for a touchdown, and Ford’s scoring on a pass from Giles behind the goal line. The next victim was St. Louis Park and this time it was 50-0. Although their team was stronger than the Hopkins aggregation, the difference in score was because of the rapid improvement in the Blake team during the week. Scores were made by K. Dietz. Ford. Giles, Bard well. Welch and Sudduth. The feature of the game was the Blake open attack through the forward pass with Giles at the passing end and Ford and Bardwell doing most of the work at the receiving end. McCaull and Norton did some stellar work on the line. Now, as the season progressed, the fighting spirit began to show and when Blake defeated Roosevelt High by 19-0 it was on straight football and a superiority in fight that never lagged throughout the game. Sudduth began to appear in the stellar constellation, going around end for one touchdown and intercepting a pass and running for 80 yards to the five-yard line, and then putting it over on the next play. Now came the fierce battle with our rivals. University High, who succeeded in scoring one touchdown. 7 points to our 23. It was a wonderful game and good hard line plunging and fine football tactics enabled the team, which was a real fighting unit, to gain a decided victory. Don Newhall advanced into the limelight from a background of consistent dependable playing by breaking through the line and recovering a University High fumble on two different occasions during the game, one of which he converted into a touchdown. He also featured by catching a forward pass for a good gain. Bardwell showed good head work in running the team, was unerring in the catching of punts and intercepted one pass, which Best helped turn into a touchdown. The victory over Vocational High to the tune of 55-0 was like a practice game between the previous one and the final game of the season with S. 1 . A. In this game Ford recovered a fumble and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Best was the individual star of the game. Best did some good punting for Blake but starred especially in line plunges. Captain Giles played this last game in his best form and was the backbone of his team. Norton was a tower of strength in the line in spite of a bad shoulder. Newhall and Ford did great work at end. McCaull stayed at center and did much to stop S. P. A.’s despairing rush in the fourth quarter. It was a team of which Blake may well be proud and was a great credit to Coach Horne. We should close as we began, however, with emphasis on the real secret of the season’s success,—namely, the indomitable fighting spirit which was maintained uniformly from the beginning to the end of every game and through the hard practices during the week. Edgar Best, Half-back “Ed” was moved from End into the back-field this year because of bis speed and agility in handling the ball. He bits the line low and like a bullet and is a good man on defensive. John Norton, Tackle It was next to an impossibility to gain through “Bud's” tackle and he even broke up many plays before they got started. “Bud” hel|)ecl the team out in every department—his tackling was deadly, he carried the ball and hit the line like a pile-driver, his passing was accurate, and finally his urging the rest of the line was invaluable. As a “fighting Tarzan”, he has made a great name for himself during the two years at Blake. Theodore Bennett, Tackle, Captain-Elect “Ted” started making the football team in his Freshman year and now in his third straight year he played an even better game. He very deservedly was elected Captain of next year’s team and it is sure he will prove a great leader. I le plays steadily, but a play never slips by. Often he broke through the opposing line to block punts. Ilis coolness and splendid ability will make him a great leader. John Giles, Captain, Cull-back “Johnnie’s” fourth year on the Blake team was a great climax to one of Blake’s most brilliant football men. For the last two years he has led the team and he has been on both of Blake’s 100% teams during the past four years. “Gi’s” unlimited store of fight and great line-plunging ability have made a name to live long in Blake football history. Pmi.ii' McCaull, Center Phil’s reappearance at school was very welcome to the followers of the football team, because his last year’s record was unbeatable. lie more than lived up to expectations this year and literally proved a tower of strength at center, lie broke up every play in his vicinity, blocked kicks and further helped the team by loud encouragement. We wish you the best of luck. Phil, but the football team would just as soon see you back again next year. Robert Bakdwell, Quarter-back “Bobby” has won a place in every Blake fellow’s heart on account of his personality and brilliant performance on the athletic field. His work at Quarter was even spectacular, and his management of the team and open-field running was very brilliant to say the least. “Bob” certainly ought to make a great athlete. Samuel Tiiorpe, Guard Sam’s first year on the team proved that he was a great line-man. I le always opened up a good hole and opposing backs rarely gained through him. I f Sam comes back to school next year, he will be counted as one of the mainstays of the 1()24 line. Horton Dietz, Guard “Hortie’s” fierce temper combined with speed and agility make him a fierce player at any position. lie played Knd for two years and was moved to Guard this year, a position which he filled to perfection. William Luce, Guard “Bill's” terrible temper made him dangerous when he once got started, lie started out with the determination to win his “B” and his hard tackling and good spirit won him his ambition. He can he depended upon next year, possibly as a good Center candidate, where lie played a good deal this year. Wyman Ford, Hud It took a mighty clever opposing bacldield man to round “Wy’s” end this year. 1 le is fast and shifty on his feet and tackles plenty hard. Also he has lots of football light and keeps things alive by his encouragement. Robert Dietz, Half-back “Chub” discovered that be could hit the line and after this confidence was grounded, he was a mighty hard man to stop. Great things are expected from him next year as he is fast as well as a bard hitter. John Mills, Half-back “Tick” started out to play bind, but his line-plunging was better suited to the back-field. 11 ere he developed into a hard-hitting man who caused opponents much annoyance and gained much ground for Blake. Mr. O. 1 '. Horne, Coach “Mike’ was fighting with the team all the time again this year. During the entire season lie was out every day with more “pep’’ than ever before. 1 Je gave the team everything he had and received in return the respect and admiration of every member of the school. As a result of his coaching the team had a 100% season. “Mike” lives on fight. Let’s make him live royally! Don am) New hall. End “Don made the team this year through sheer nerve and fight, lie is light and fast and much praise is due him for landing his position. He played a cool, steady game. He smashed the opposing interference and got the runner on the defensive, and when playing offensively, he developed a great knack for grabbing passes and in this way made several scores. William Christian, Manager “Hill” fulfilled the strictest requirements of a good manager this year. He was always cheerful and ready to do the “dirty job . He never had to he told twice, lie seemed to have that sense of what should he done and he went ahead and did it. In his quiet, business-like way he won the respect of all the members of the squad and such a manager is hard to find. Mr. P. C. Cleveland, Assistant Coach “Cleve” spent all his time, outside of school, on the football field. I fe was always ready to help a fellow along and his help always counted. The fellows surely respect him as a coach and lie deserves everything he can be given. Mav he remain with the team! LOWER SCHOOL HOCKEY Greatly increased interest has been shown in Hockey this year. A very large squad showed up on the first day of practice and increased in size during the season. which began on the first day of the winter term and ended with the last game with St. Paul Academy late in February. They were our only opponents this year. Head’s fast skating and accurate shooting baffled the Academy defense. Once Hollern got bis long legs to working, he could not be stopped until he at least bad a shot at the opponent’s goal. Cantillon stopped more shots than any one else on the team could have done and he seemed to take it much to heart when a shot did slip through him. He deserves much credit for bis work in the position of goal. The series with St. Paul Academy was a tie. It was impossible to play it off because the ice on both rinks was too soft the last of the season. The first game was a tie. the second was won by Blake on the home rink and the third by St. Paul on theirs. Captain Cook is to be congratulated on getting an even break on this series. The line-up was as follows: 11 oller n.............................................................Left Wing Mayer................................................................Center Head..................................................................Right Wing Doerr.................................................................Right Defense Cook...................................................................Left Defense Cantillon.............................................................Guard Crosby. Fi rst, Robinson........................................Substitutes UPPER SCHOOL HOCKEY The main effort of the 1 lockey season was to get as many boys as possible to learn to play a good game. The Upper School can not be said to have had huge success as to the two games played with St. Paul Academy but the scores show that we are coining nearer all the time to getting a team that can play on even terms with our rivals. Both games were lost by the narrow margin of one point. 2-1 and 1-0. W ith all the members of the team back next year, the school is assured of a good start for the team of next year. The line-up is as follows: INTER-CLASS BASKET BALL Last year it was decided, in wise counsel, that, because of the lack of material with which to build up three strong teams. Basketball should be stricken from the list of major sports. This decision would give the participants in Football and Baseball a chance to rest up physically and buck up mentally, during the long winter months. Some fellows were rather dissatisfied with the new plan. However, I believe that these same fellows can not but recognize the fact that the plan has been a good one if not a pleasant one. In place of Basketball, Hockey was played this past winter and the axes and saws exercised more frequently. When the Hockey season closed a plan, by which each of the Upper Classes and the Lower School should organize class Basketball teams, was formulated. Each team played four games. After these the two teams of highest standing played a three game series to determine the winner. The Junior and Senior teams placed high and two of the three games were played, the Seniors winning. The Senior Team must not boast for they had a great wealth of material. Among their members were four 1923 letter men and Page. Newhall, Buffington. Maughan and Dayton. The Senior five outscored their opponents heavily in all but one game. 'Phis game was won from the Juniors by the close score of 9 to. 5. The Junior Team was composed of Best. R. Dietz. H. Dietz. Bennett. Schermerhorn. Somerville, S. Newhall and Dwinnell. Every team fought hard to stay in the race and although the playing was at no time very fast or brilliant the tournament was a success. If Basketball is not to return as a major sport, let us retain it for the class spirit it arouses. PART OF THE 1923 TEAM BASEBALL 1923 Organization McCauli.............................

All the positions were open and anyone had a good chance if he could show the stuff. It was practically until the last game before the infield was intact and because of this uncertainty, the early season defeats may be attributed. The second half of the season changed the gloominess of the early defeats and with the most important games coming, the team reversed its form and won all. Phis made the season very successful and gave the school two legs on the Baseball Cup. A third time will bring the Cup � nto permanent possession of the school. Too much praise cannot be given to the earnest, hard work of the coaches. Coach Horne, his assistant Mr. Y'inton and Mr. Cleveland, coach of the Second Team, all gave their best efforts in rounding the team into shape and it is hoped that the team partly recompensed them for their efforts. BLAKE BOYS VERSUS THEIR FATHERS The game between the boys and dads that is played on the afternoon of the spring Father’s Dinner has become an institution of the school and a regular part of the baseball schedule. It is looked forward to by boys and fathers alike. There are enough fathers who have not forgotten the prowess they exhibited as bovs to make a very interesting spectacle. The 29th of April brought out a crowd of men in attire varying from the regulation costume to hiking and fishing clothes, but all were saturated with the idea of getting as many runs as possible and of sticking it out nine innings if it took till sun down, it didn’t,—quite. The last father was off the field by five-thirty,—most of them rather glad to get off with all their joints still working. One of them retired before he really wanted to because a swift one caught him in the floating rib just under where his right ell ow had been a second before. He was most cheerful about it and ate heartily of the food set before him at the dinner served for the fathers and faculty soon afterwards. Captain Ireys brought out the team that follows: Johnson, catcher; Ford, pitcher; Fitzgerald, first base; Walker, second base; Ireys. short, third base: Hollern. left field: Little, center field: Sudduth, right field. Substitutions— Pierson, center field : Miller, right field. It was a nice. long, jolly game. One interesting point was the fact that the Ford family had almost exclusive use of the pitcher’s box. Wy. retiring after a few innings to let Moles pitch. To leave out the details which one may read on the box score sheet, the score was 18 to 10 in favor of the boys. At the dinner, following the game, Mr. Ilorne talked on the changes of the year in the workings of the physical department. Mr. Foss told the fathers about the examination system in connection with College Board examinations. Mr. Johnson discussed the Junior School, the school choir, civic training and the alumni association. During the dinner and between speeches, the good old songs of the school song book were sung with much enthusiasm and pleasure. DEBATING BANQUET On Thursday evening. May 1, a new banquet was introduced into the school. This was the debating banquet for all those inletested in debating. Mr. Johnson was toastmaster and the first two speakers were Kingsley, captain of the team, and S. Newhall, this year’s Strieker Cup winner. Then Mr. Edwards, who greatly aided the team this year, pointed out the great advantage in understanding both sides of a question. Next Mr. Williamson spoke for the Alumni and said that the debating team needed the backing of the school. The next speaker was Mr. Richards who showed the great use of speaking in later life. Mr. Barton, the coach, spoke last and pointed out that speaking ability could be used much longer than athletic ability. On the whole the dinner was a great success and it will certainly become a custom in the annals of the school. FOOTBALL BANQUET The Football Banquet held at the Country School in honor of the 1923 Football Team was probably one of the greatest ever witnessed at Blake. Every member of the team was there accompanied by his father. Mr. Johnson acted as Toastmaster and after a few of the fathers had given talks and Captain (hies had presented “Mike” and Shubel Owen with tokens of the team’s respect every member of the team reluctantly untangled his feet and arose amid loud clapping of hands to make his speech. Each returned happily to his seat to observe the effect upon the next victim. A great meal was served and cigars and cigarettes smoked thereafter (by the fathers and coaches and toastmaster). The meal and speeches ended at the height of the evening and everyone returned happily home to talk of the 100% team and the success of the banquet. SENIOR DINNERS The Senior dinners this year have been very successful. The meetings have been well attended and an enjoyable and profitable time was always had by all those present. The speakers included—Mr. W. S. Dwinnell, who spoke to us about the law business; Mr. W. H. Sudduth, who gave us an interesting talk on the milling industry; Mr. N. S. Foss, who told about school and college life; Dr. R. I. Rizer, who spoke to us about the profession of medicine; Mr. George Buzza, who told us some interesting facts about the printing and engraving business; and Mr. R. O. Foster, who gave us a very interesting talk on ambitions and literature. The Seniors are greatly indebted to these men for talking to us, and to Mr. Johnson for his tireless energy in getting such interesting speakers. JATXSt! GRAND STAND STUFF � SS. MANAGER THE HUNCH BACK G-00BNE5S GRACIOUS RIDING SKIRT C7S AUGHT Y-HAUGHTY THE ACROBATS FOUNDERS’ DAY One of the annual fete clays at Blake is Founders’ Day, which is a day when the entire school with a great deal of enthusiasm celebrates its founding. All kinds of stunts, costumes and sports imaginable are indulged in by the boys and masters who are always seeking some new entertainment or stunt. The principal entertainment of the afternoon is the annual clash of two Upper School football teams coached by the men who won “B’s” on the first team. This is the story of this year’s Founders’ Day. All the recitation periods were finished before lunch, by shortening the periods. Immediately after lunch the boys all went up into the chapel where Robert Woodworth, a well-known Blake alumnus gave a very interesting talk on Founders’ Day from the standpoint of the alumni, lie pointed out that what would help Blake most was school spirit. After this everyone went down stairs and put on their costumes. What a mixture of characterizations! There was everything from tramps to dudes and from girls and ladies to prize-fighters and movie actors. The traditional parade around the school and grounds was led by the Seniors representing the faculty, closely followed by the Juniors and so on down to the prep year, who brought up the rear. The line stopped at intervals before the Fast stand and shouted original class cheers. From the East stand the parade went around the field to the West stand, where it halted and most of the boys got into the grand stand. Directly in front of the West stand the separate class stunts were executed. Somerville characterizing Mr. Crosby, President of the Board of Trustees, was the person in charge. The Seniors were the first to act. They pictured a faculty meeting, as they imagined it. which was extremely humorous, to say the least, because of the personal take-offs on the various teachers. Norton as Mr. Johnson and Gray as Mr. Whitcomb were especially good. The faculty meeting was followed by a take-off on an English class performed by the Juniors. Welch’s characterization of Mr. Clough was very entertaining. The Sophomores followed the Juniors with a picture of the public speaking department of the school, which was a scream. This class was led by McCabe as Mr. Barton and mistakes were plentiful. The Freshmen gave a representation of Lower School music. Odell took the part of Mr. Lucas and led the singing which in reality was a very fine take-off on a barnyard. In the Lower School the Third Form gave an amusing picture of a typical French Class. The Second Form staged a surprise in the form of a horse race. This race was a real one with real horses and not with the customary broomsticks. The First Form had a band which made considerable noise during the horse race. Near the finish one of the riders gracefully fell off and during the ensuing confusion the Prep Year program was forgotten, to the evident relief of said class. JUNIOR-SENIOR DANCE 1923 'I'he music was good but the moon was better. This in itself might suffice as an account of the annual Junior-Senior dance of 1923. The couples danced ’neath brown and white bunting or strolled ’neath a starlit sky. After hard work by the committee and the Juniors the Gym was fittingly decorated with brown and white bunting. At the far end of the floor the orchestra played, huddled together against ferns and flowers. In the center of the floor was a large vase of beautiful flowers o’erhung with Japanese lanterns. Of course it was hot for it was June and we were receiving our northern summer, but nevertheless the night could not have been chosen with better success. Many of the dancers under the spell of music did not leave the hall, but many others found the spell of the night very tempting indeed. The cars began to arrive about 9 o’clock and finally when all of the four Seniors had arrived, the orchestra commenced to play, 'flic more romantic of heart returned regularly to see if all was going right and then, having observed, sallied forth again. About 10, by the dances, refreshments were served and after more dancing the party broke up about 2 o’clock. It was still wonderful. FOOTBALL DANCE 1923 Every member of the school, able to, turned out to the annual Football Dance. This dance was a fitting climax to the 100% season of the team. The school was overflowing with fair damsels and their able escorts. The night would have made a good Football day—and the couples a very effective scoring combination as far as punch and drive go. But as this was not the time for a game the dancers must be content to sit in the grandstand and watch the shadows play. After a very enjoyable evening the refreshments were served and all left reluctantly. The Chaperones seemed to enjoy themselves as much, if not more, than the crowd of students. THE CHRISTMAS DANCE Looking from Mendelsohn Road one could see a cluster of multi-colored lights. The stranger might ask, “How come?” but the friends of Blake were well aware that it was the night of the Christmas Dance. Under the careful tutelage of the committee, (Giles, Mills and Somerville), the “Gym” had put on its party clothes. 'I’lie crowning feature of its attire was a huge tree, decorated with all the baubles that tradition calls for. Being the first dance of the vacation it could not help being a good one; but. the presence en masse of the Alumni and ex-Blake boys together with the joy of meeting our friends from the Eastern schools made it the best yet. And yet the simple country folk around the neighborhood and the stranger retouring along the road could not understand whv such a disappointed wail arose when the music stopped at midnight. SPRING DANCE During the Spring Vacation it was decided that there should be a dance at the school on Saturday night, March 30. Because of the big snowstorm, March 29 and 30, the dance was postponed until April 12. As is always the case of a postponed pleasure the edge had been taken off the dance and it can not be considered as one of the best of Blake’s dances. This however was no fault of the committee’s for everything was arranged very well and had it not been for the bad weather the dance would surely have been a great success. In spite of everything the dance was more than could be expected and the refreshments exceptional.

THE LIBRARY During the past year there have been several additions to the Blake Library. “The Bright Light that Failed” by Edwin Dodge. This poem shows Mr. Dodge’s apparent experience in the case, that even the brightest boys in the school may have a relapse at some time or another. “The Days of My Youth” by Phil McCaull. This book oozes with the carefree. frolicsome spirit of childhood: full of boyish pranks from one end to the other. “How to Clean a Pipe with a Lead Pencil” by Somerville. Here the author places himself in a position where only a pencil is available and shows clearly every detail of the operation. Our only objection is that he says the cake may be dumped on the floor where he vaguely hints at a certain Ed or Jimmy cleaning it up. “The Art of Loving” by P. Maughan. The New York Globe says: “This hook is, of course, not meant for those who know their oil. It is indispensable for children from 8 9 years because it can’t teach them any new bad tricks.” It was most surely written from a large heart with a sympathetic purpose. “The Best Manner in Which to Flunk All Your Studies” by Kingsley. What can we say more than that it was written by a man who cared nothing about passing anything and who wished nothing better than to have all his subjects below 65 per cent? “Color and Its Effect on the Modern Man” by Hudson D. Walker. The author, Mr. Walker, has studied very deeply into the science of colorology. The hook is crammed full of scientific debates, such as the tones to be obtained from yellow stripes on a purple field, vs. the harmony of green bands on a pink background. “BY THEIR SONGS YE SHALL KNOW THEM” Dayton—“It was my last cigar” Boutin—“How Dry I am” Giles—“Ain’t Nature Grand” Poehler—“Stumbling” Page—“Seven Come Eleven” Kingsley—“You Can’t Make a Fool Out of Me” Mills—“Nothing Ever, Ever, Hardly Ever, Bothers Me” Best—“He’s a Devil in His Own Home Town” Barton—“On the Rocky Road to Dublin” H.

The Third and Fourth Year boys have taken an unusual interest in the afternoon play. They have enjoyed football, skating, hockey, base-ball and other games under the direction of Mr. George Lamb. From all accounts, Erie Savage, Football Star, will have a successor in Jack McCann of the Second Year. According to Mr. Lamb, the 1924 Baseball Team is the best material that Junior Blake has ever had. They have accepted challenges from the “Prep Year. The Manual Training classes have made some very fine automobiles and sail boats. Sam Nickerson made a twenty-four inch boat in which he installed a motor. Interest in birds led the boys to make bird houses. Donald Dayton completed four. There was keen competition in the selling of tickets for the Blake Plays. Clinton Morrison and Norman Newhall tied for the cash prize. The First and Second Year boys gave “The Sandman Song” in costume at the Christmas Program. They all wore white pajamas and carried red candles. Billy Hunt has succeeded his brother John, as Conductor of the famous Second Year Orchestra. Every one admires and enjoys the beautiful clock that was presented to the Junior School bv the classes of 1922-23. It has proven a most acceptable gift.
