We have been prominent in athletics, the teams being made up chiefly of members of our class. Many of the leading roles in dramatics were played by Seniors. We have enjoyed many privileges, mainly because our attitude has been such that it has been possible to grant them to us. We feel justly proud of the fact that we have been given more privileges than any other graduating class in the history of the school. This has been achieved because of the close contact that we have been allowed to enjoy with the Faculty. All that we have accomplished was under the personal supervision and influence of our class advisor. Mr. Cleveland. Without his aid our realizations for the betterment of the school could not have been carried out so favorably. Page Fourteen Strieker Cup for Debating. 26 General Information Cup.

Beany. coming to us from the little town of New Prague, adapted himself quickly to the ways of the big city. His scholastic brilliancy was manifest, and his capacity for study astounded early his classmates. He is in a class by himelf as a public speaker and has no equal in the general art of argumentation. He leaves us for the higher haunts of learning and we wish him all the success that he has enjoyed at Blake. Page Fifteen Clfm, Orchestra. '26 Debating Team. 26 Blake Union. ’26 Dramatics.

But genius must be born, and never can be taught.” Fritz. the scientist of the class, possesses marked ability along the lines of higher knowledge. Until recently he was a confirmed woman-hater, but has lately become a desirable prize of the weaker sex. He holds the non-stop interscholastic record for compounding obnoxious odors in the laboratory. However, he does not confine himself solely to mental activities, but occasionally takes part in a vivacious game of tennis with some sprightly member of the faculty. His fellow classmates confidently expect great things of him at Boston Tech. Page Sixteen Blake Union.

Aside from his athletic accomplishments, he is unexcelled as a debater. He has further gained a wide reputation as an automobile driver. During his stay at Blake. Lucius, by his quiet manner. has made a large circle of friends. We hope that, in future years, he will be as popular as he has been at Blake. Page Seventeen Dramatics. ’25. '26 Torch Board.

I am satisfied. Bob.” perhaps the only great entomologist in the history of Blake, has intrigued us with entertaining discourses on the morals of the wild moth. But not content in this, he has amazed us with his versatility in athletics, particularly football. Bob s’’ cooperation with Scheurcr in the arrangement of the library has resulted in probably the most disorganized and heterogeneous collection of utterly worthless literature amassed under one roof. Seriously speaking, his return next year as captain of the football team is looked forward to with anticipation of great success by the whole school. Page Eighteen Blake Union.

He has always striven for the development of the school as a whole and has devoted his best energies to the betterment of Blake. During his years at the school he has proved his ability in athletics. He has brilliantly figured on all the teams and has inspired in his team-mates a spirit and fight not often found. Departing from Blake this year, he leaves behind him a place which will not soon be filled. Page Nineteen President of Class. '2 5. '24. '25 Student Council. '25. '24.

Chuck has grown to man's estate in the school and in growing has become a veritable pillar of industry and influence. With unbounded pride we point to him as our only musician and the sole interpreter of the higher arts in our midst. Ever a brilliant scholar, his name has always been among the first on the Honor Roll and his illimitable store of miscellaneous knowledge has been a constant source of wonder to his fellows. Not content with scholastic honors, he has further distinguished himself on the football field. It is with genuine sorrow that we see him depart. Page T wtnty JOHN PHILIP CROWLEY Entered Blake 1923 “Jack” University of Minnesota “for thy sake. Tohaico. I would do anything hut die. “Jack. hailing from one of Minneapolis' smaller suburbs. St. Paul, has for many years ruled the dormitory with an iron hand. More than often he is to be found in good-natured discussion with his classmates as to the relative merits of the city and its suburb. As the school's foremost authority on the pugilistic art. Jack has often aired his knowledge before the student body. Due to his capable ability as an organizer, the Hikers incidentally have enjoyed the most successful year in their history. ✓ Page Tu.'enty-one Blake Union, ‘26 Dramatics. 23. 24 Hockey Team. ’23. ’24.

Ned ranks high in the list of athletes. Through his years at Blake he has distinguished himself in all sports. Handicapped by his lack of weight he has played brilliant football, eliciting the admiration of everyone by his perseverance and courage. His speed on the ice and his ability on the diamond must not be overlooked. In the face of all this his efforts in the classroom have by no means been unrewarded. But when reviewing his accomplishments and activities, one thing must not be omitted.— he is the first ex-waiter in the history of Blake, a truly great distinction. Page Tutenty-two Blake Union.

His very foot hath music in it.” Bob.” arriving from the rural section of Minnesota, a blushing country lad, quickly developed into a man of the world. Although handicapped br two year's membership on the Torch Board, his popularity has not diminished. He is truly a social light, and his skill as Charleston Tcrpsichorean is unexcelled. In spite of his lack of experience as a football player, his performance in the Founders' Day football game was commendable. It is. however, as a follower of natatorial sports that he excels. Sympathizing with him because he does not graduate, we predict that he will be a big factor in school activities next year.

Although John has been with us only two years, he has. in spite of the fact that he comes from Milwaukee, made rapid progress, and is truly a power in the Senior Class. His fleet of second-hand Fords has proved indispensable in transporting Seniors to and from school, and he is recognized throughout the school as an authority on gasoline vehicles. He is. furthermore, widely informed in the field of biology, and specializes in Mikerobes.” Page Twenty-four Williams Theme Contest. '26 V Form Declamation Contest. ‘24 Torch Board.

Entered Blake 1921 “Cabie Dartmouth The Devil is an ass: I do acknowledge it.” “Cabie.” again the best all around man in the class, hails from a town called Grafton, in the neighboring state of North Dakota. Brought up in the wilds of frontier life, he entered Blake with a sturdy and rugged physique, which so far has enabled him to carry out his Senior responsibilities admirably. Casting aside his dignity on the gridiron, and trained by daily tussles with the burly “Chub” Dietz, he made his opponents smart under the punishment of his hard and clean playing. His ability as a writer was highly regarded in the English department. “A morbid propensity to sloth and procrastination” was his only fault. Page Twenty-five Dramatics. '25. '26 Orchestra. '21. '25.

One often wonders how he can be at one moment so hard boiled and at the next so entirely effeminate. Indeed his superb interpretation of female roles has excited our curiosity and amazement. Excellent as may have been his abilities as football manager, his skill as a hockey, tennis, and baseball player is unexcelled. Considering his scholastic activities one cannot deny that his French translations are pure gems of literature. Without his valuable assistance the professor of that language would have been at a distinct loss. Page Twenty-six Baseball Team. ’24. '25. '16 Football Team.

Entered Blake 1921 Ed....Lcddy Princeton There does not live his fellow, so he says.” Teddy is a combination of Attila. Hercules. Mercury and Apollo. As an idol of the Lower School he is often seen entering heart and soul into the juvenile pastimes of the little tikes. Time and again he has regaled us with his quaint witticisms in the class room. Despite his youth he has clearly demonstrated his ability on the athletic field, and has become a real factor in Blake athletics. During the winter, due to his accident, the swimming team felt his loss keenly. Fortunately he returns to us next year in all the power and glory of a post-graduate, and we fully expect him to invest his high office with the air of noble dignity, which so well befits him.

His business ability in connection with the Torch has been dearly demonstrated. Also his activities on the Student Council for four consecutive years must not be overlooked. Somewhat handicapped by weight, he has not been as prominent on the athletic field as he has in the classroom. We have admired “Frankie'' for his brilliance and liked him for his pleasing personality. It is hoped that he will be as great a success in future years as he has been at Blake.

For seven years Ole has amused us with his irrepressible pranks and astounded us with his versatility in athletics. Yet not confining his abilities to the humorous and athletic, he has brought forth our admiration for his forensic capacities. Needless to say. his sterling qualities as a geometry student have been particularly prominent as all his co-suffercrs will agree As an expert driver of automobiles he is without an equal in the school, and his numerous flirtations with death have often chagrined the Faculty. But to date he is still with us and doing very well, thank you. Page Twenty-nine OE Glee Club. ’26 Dramatics. '24. 26 Torch Board, ‘26 Blake Union. '26 Class Historian. '26 Football. '26 Hockey. '25.

During this time he has won our admiration by his fairy-like grace, particularly noticeable on the basketball floor and on the hockey rink. This last year he has suffered injuries in both footfall and hockey, and has lost four weeks of baseball on account of illness. In spite of these setbacks he won his letter in all three sports.

Otto, coming to Blake from war-tom Europe, was a bit shy and retiring the first year. But not for long, for his scholastic and literary ability was soon manifested. He early took up work on the Torch, and this year rose to the position of Editor-in-Chicf. He has talent and perseverance in making the magazine a success, quite equaling the brilliance of former editors. But he has not this distinction only on which to rest his fame. Indeed, as manager of the 1926 baseball team, the school looks for tireless energy and undivided interest in carrying out the duties of this all-important branch of athletics. We also point with pride to Otto as the only poet of the class. Page Thirty-one Call o' Pan Board. '25. '26 Blake Union. '25.

'25 Varsity Club CHARLES TANEY SILVERSON m Entered Blake 1921 Chuck Tawncy Princeton The u ord impossible is not in my dictionary. It is with deep regret and infinite sadness that we view the departure of Chuck from Blake's halls of learning. With all the dignity accompanying his position as president of the class, he has conducted us through a remarkably successful year and has safely landed us on the threshold of graduation. A brilliant football player, a splendid scholar, a debater unique, and a photographer extraordinary, he is indeed one of the most versatile members of the class. Mention must be made of his social tendencies, which, though not always pronounced, have recently been manifested in the prominent position he holds in the eyes of the opposite sex.

Dartmouth '‘Tony. the class prophet, is without doubt the unparalleled humorist of our outfit. Strange as it may seem his sly and subtle satire in the Torch has been fairly well received by the student body. Yet Tony has applied himself seriously to athletics. His dependable work on the football teams has been a valuable asset. We hope that in college he will continue his good work. Unfortunately we cannot boast of him as Minnesota's own. for he hails from that wild and woolly state of Wisconsin. Tony holds an unusual place in our esteem, not only for being one of the charter members of the dormitory, but also for remaining there through four tedious years. Page Thirty-three THE HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS The Class of 1926 has pursued a successful course throughout its four years of activities in the Upper School. Coming from a place of distinction in the Lower School, the class felt somewhat suppressed and inferior in the position of Freshmen. But its activities on the athletic field did not betray any self-consciousness or backwardness. Indeed the athletic tendencies of the class were especially manifest during that first year. Positions were held by some of the members on practically every team. The next year, having arisen to the not particularly prominent position of Sophomores, the class was imbued with a sense of its own importance and as a result was a trifle turbulent. Yet it excelled no less in athletics and in scholarship, and. entering a new field of activity, was not a little prominent in public speaking. This was the year that student government was tried out. Yet. strange as it may seem, the class did not enter into the spirit of the experiment as wholeheartedly as it might have, necessitating disciplinary measures. But as Juniors, the class assumed its proper position as school leaders, nearly on a par with Seniors in this respect. Football, hockey, baseball, tennis, the Student Council, debating, scholastic honors, and the school publications claimed the majority of the members. The usual altercations with the Seniors occurred. However the Juniors were not to be browbeaten as was soon found out. Finally the Glass of 1926 attained the dignified rank of Seniors. It was at last the real leader of the school. This year the Seniors have co-operated with the Faculty and as a result have secured more privileges than any other senior class in the history of the school. There have been no serious disagreements, contrary to previous years. The members of the class have always conducted themselves with the dignity and composure befitting their position. They have been looked up to by the student body as leaders and have secured certain reforms beneficial to the school in general. Again we bow with gratitude to Mr. Cleveland. our class advisor, who has been instrumental in gaining for the Seniors many of their privileges. As the class looks back on its four years in the Upper School, with its trials and tribulations, its successes and failures, it hopes that its endeavors will be appreciated and the example which it has tried to set will be followed by future Senior classes. Page Thing'four Ircys McRnr Trags«lorf Hooker Nath, E. Rost, W. Nelson Warner Mr. Foss Thomas Maughan THE JUNIOR CLASS At the start of the school year, the class of 1927 was just the same as last year with the exception of Newton Pierson. William Larimore and Stewart Wells. Two new boys were with us in the persons of Clayton Hooker and William Tragsdorf. T he following class officers were elected at the beginning of the year: Guy Thomas. President: Leon Warner. Vice President, and John Savage. Secretary and Treasurer, with Mr. Foss as class advisor. The Junior Class is proud of its record for the past year. Although not the highest class in school scholastically, it has always had several of its members on the Honor Roll. In athletics it was prominent; Warner. McRae and Nash made their football letters, while several of its members were on the second team. Warner. Winston and Thomas, the three high point men. were the backbone of the swimming team. Warner was captain. Ireys was on the hockey squad, while our basketball team was second only to the Seniors. Page Thirty-six A great deal of credit is due Nash. Ireys. Winston. Thomas and Maughan. all of whom proved themselves worthy actors in their admirable work in the annual dramatic presentation. 7'he Juniors were also prominent in other school activities. Maughan. Nash. Winston and Warner represented us in the Union. The 'T orch Board claimed Nash. Ireys. Warner and Winston. On the Call o’ Pan Board were Thomas and Maughan. The Junior class also prides itself on the fact that Warner and Maughan were on the Council. In February, the class gave a dance at the Junior School for the purpose of raising funds, to which the whole school was invited. It was a marked success and it is hoped that the junior classes of the future will follow this precedent set for them by the class of 1927. In public speaking the Juniors played a prominent part. The two-man debates, a recent innovation, were carried out successfully by us throughout the year. Next year we shall strive to do our best and win back the long sought banner from S. P. A. Although the juniors did not carry away the honors in the Thorpe Cup Contest, nevertheless Thomas and Savage adequately represented the class. This year the Junior-Senior dance promises to be one of the best in the history of the school. The committee is composed of Warner. Nash and Nelson. The greatest credit of all should go to Mr. Foss, our class advisor, who has guided us unerringly and successfully through our Junior year. It is to him that the whole class wishes to express their deepest gratitude. 3= Page Thirty-seven 'L-J. ALt r pA ri Page Thirty-eight V FORM This year’s Fifth Form, although minus several of its former members, is still one of the largest classes in the school. J. Welch. M. Patterson. W. Donaldson and Herman Strachauer joined us in the fall. In school activities the class was well represented. Devaney made his letter in football, with Hollern and B. Winston on the second team. Hollern. Devaney. and Cook won their letters in hockey, while Doerr was on the squad. A majority of our members turned out for baseball. Hollern was the only letter man of the 1925 team: Cook and Devaney worked for positions on the first team. John Devaney represented the class on the Student Council. The Fifth Form declamation contest was an unusual success. Strachauer. Johnson. R. Foster. K. Foster. Devaney. and Hollern were the participants. Strachauer won it with an exceptional presentation of Patrick Henry's plea for American Liberty. Charles Johnson received honorable mention. The Class officers were: Stephen Walker. President: John Dev- aney. Vice-President: and Charles Doerr. Secretary and Treasurer. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Olson, who has been our class advisor this year as well as last year, and who has very kindly aided us in our daily routine and outside work. S. Crosby. IV FORM The Fourth Form during the year 1925-26 has. in our estimation. had quite a successful year. The only new addition to our class at the beginning of the year was H. Booraem. but when the winter term began Harry Belden and Gordon Nagell were added to our number. At the end of the winter term T. Kelley and H. Booraem left us. Kelley going to West High, and Booraem back to the Third Form. Our class has been successful in school activities. In athletics the Fourth Form held a rather prominent place, the third team being made up largely of Fourth Formers. W. Nash made his letter on the first team. R. Rizer. G. Christian. J. Gosnell. W. Nash and C. Pierson were on the swimming squad, although Pierson was the only one to receive his letter. G. Christian, who played the leading role in “The Guest for Dinner.” served as our only member on the Dramatic Club. Joe Gosnell was elected assistant art editor on the Call o' Pan Board and won a place in the orchestra. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Geiser for his helpful advice as class advisor during the year. The class officers for the year were: W. Nash. President: Gordon Christian, Vice-President: R. Macgregor. Secretary and Treasurer. W. Nash. Page Thirty-nine Page Forty I0WER SCIMDL Ill FORM Wc were very unfortunate in losing from our class this year Philip Little, who went to Groton, and Dexter Andrews, who is tutoring. But we were equally fortunate in having Martin Wales and Bill Gage, both of whom have gone to Blake in former years, and Hendrick Booraem. a new boy. As in preceding years the class of 30 had a very successful year in athletics. With the exception of John Dalrymple. the letter men of the Lower School football team were all of the third form. The team defeated S. P. A. twice and tied the other game. Fred Chute was Captain. The hockey squad was also composed of third formers with two exceptions. Bob Howard and Edmund Pillsbury. We defeated S. P. A. three games straight. We had a strong class basketball team, and in one game we beat the Fifth Form. The team was made up entirely of members of the third form. This year the Lower School baseball team ought to be a great success. Mr. Cleveland is coach and a great many men are trying out. Our class officers were: Walter Walker. President: Frederick Chute. Vice-President: Frank Plant. Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Smith was class advisor. Although a new man. Mr. Smith fitted in very nicely and offered us indispensable assistance, and we take this opportunity to thank him. Walter Walker. II FORM Our class has always been active in the different sports. Last year nearly all the class tried out for the Lower School football team and one of the boys succeeded in making his letter. During the winter term quite a few went out for hockey. And now we have a number of prospects for the baseball team. However, it is not all play with us. for several of our class have been on the honor-roll throughout the whole year. To Mr. Horne we owe much of our success, as he always advised us so wisely, and we thank him for doing so. The class officers were: John McLane. President: John Dalrymple. Vice-President: Walter Gage. Secretary and Treasurer. John McLane. Page Forty-two r� I FORM This year our class has been very prosperous. We are glad to have Bob Howard and Einar Nagel. Einar came in the beginning of the winter term. Our sports were good this year. Erie Savage and Bob Howard made the Lower School’s second team. The Midget team played the Prep year. We won. Our hopes are high for baseball. Each month our class average has been higher than the month before. Billy Burnet has given a few movies at his house which we all liked. The class officers were: Webster Bull. President: Thomas Crosby. Vice- President: and Donald Dayton. Secretary and Treasurer. We arc very grateful to our class advisor. Mr. Coulter, for the kind advice he has given us. Donald Dayton. PREP YEAR The Prep Year this year has been very prosperous, especially in athletics. We were defeated by the first form in football. 1 2-0. However we celebrated a victory over the Junior School. The score was 18-0. In hockey we did not play any games with other forms. We were much pleased with the addition of four new members this year. Winthrop and Lucien Brown. Carl Faig and John Malcomson. At the beginning of the winter term Sam Wakefield also joined the class. In Christmas vacation Bill Heyden gave a fine class movie party. Besides, many of the boys gave skating parties. The class officers are: Norman Newhall. President: Charles Bellows.

Vice-President. MINUTES OF ANNUAL DINNER OF BLAKE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Held at 6:30 P. M. January 2. 1926. at the Curtis Hotel. Minneapolis An alumni dinner was held this year instead of the usual annual luncheon because it was felt that such an arrangement would give an opportunity for many ,of the older alumni to be present who would otherwise have been unable to attend on account of difficulty in getting away from their business duties. After a pleasant dinner the Association was officially called to order by Mr. Chas. Carroll, who acted as chairman in the absence of President Edward Chapman. After a word of introduction. Chairman Carroll called upon Mr. Foss to say a few words. Mr. Foss is one of the few members of the present faculty who has known personally nearly every alumnus of the school and consequently his remarks were most effective in recalling particularly to the older alumni, the old days at the school. His chief message, however, was to assure the alumni that the school was just as much alive as ever and that the best thing any alumnus could do to get a true conception of its present activities is to come out to the school. Particularly, he invited every alumnus to make it a point actually to visit a class. Page Forty-six The next speaker was Mr. Lamb, who spoke very interestingly about West House. He extended an invitation to everyone to pay a visit to West House. After his talk there was general comment from those who already had enjoyed its hospitality that any visit there would be well worth while. Following Mr. Lamb's talk the nominating committee made its report and named the following candidates to be the Association's officers for the coming year— Charles Carroll, to be President. Franklin Crosby, to be Vice-President. Arthur Regan, to be Secretary and Treasurer. These nominations were duly seconded and unanimously elected. The Treasurer’s report was next heard. Owing to the absence of the Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. McLane. the report was read by Mr. Arthur C. Regan. The statement showed a total balance on hand as of January I. 1926. of $46.24. while outstanding obligations were as follows— To Blake School. Scholarship Fund ...............................$100.00 To Blake School. Mailing Supplies................................ 14.63 To Harrison Smith, Printing........................... .... 1 2.50 Total......................................................$127.13 In view of the obligations to be met by the Association it was urged upon the Alumni that they promptly attend to the matter of the dues so that sufficient funds might be available to liquidate all indebtedness at an early date. After the Treasurer’s report Chairman Carroll called the attention of the Alumni to the necessity of taking care of the Association's finances, but pointed out further that its objective in the future would not be solely the raising of money. He expressed the hope that the Association might grow in enthusiasm for the school and more active participation in its activities. The final speaker of the evening was Mr. Johnson. Headmaster of the School. His account of its present activities and its plans for the future was such as to give every alumnus great satisfaction regarding the present position of the school and cause for optimism regarding its future. The meeting was closed with the singing of High Above the Rolling Country. Respectfully submitted. A. C. Regan, Secretary and Treasurer. T he Blake School Alumni Association. Page Forty seven Page Forty-eight THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. 1925 On the night of June 5 a full moon shone and a balmy atmosphere made perfect the climax to the social season, the Junior-Senior. The dance was a complete success, in spite of a severe windstorm which a few days before had nearly caused nervous breakdowns on the part of the committee. Clifford. Dodge. Robinson, Brauer and Silverson. With all the power lines down, it was necessary to scout around town at the last minute to secure a lighting plant. The only one of its kind in town was brought out on a truck, and commenced to function when the dance was half over. The Gym. lighted principally by candles, was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers fresh from the Commencement Day exercises. A roof of white streamers completed the transformation of the Gym into a ballroom. The music, furnished by Chadbourne's Orchestra, was in keeping with all the other arrangements and added the finishing touch to a perfect evening. 1925 UNION BANQUET The annual Union Banquet was held at the Minneapolis Athletic Club, directly after the close of the year's meetings. To this banquet all Union members, new and old. with their fathers, are invited. This year the banquet and the attendant ceremonies were run off smoothly. The out-going President delivered a speech on the benefit of the Union to the school in general, to the members in particular. The in-coming President also gave a fine speech to the effect that the Union next year, outside of the fact that it would be a notable success, would endeavor to follow in the footsteps of previous Unions and uphold the dignity of the organization. An Alumnus, an ex-Union member, talked on the glory of former Unions and the pleasure which he had derived from associations with that body. Mr. Sudduth spoke on the benefits of public speaking. The banquet was adjourned with the singing of the Alma Mater. Page Fifty THE CHRISTMAS DANCE On December eighteenth the Christmas Dance was held at the Country School. The committee, consisting of Dodge. Robinson and Clifford, performed their duties with admirable adequacy. Indeed, if it had not been for the noble efforts of this trio, the dance could not have been so remarkably successful as it was. The Upper School was out in full force, even to a few heretofore bashful members of society. The presence of several Alumni added to the gayety of the occasion. Refreshments were served at the usual time, in spite of the fact that the physical director's office was the scene of a second deluge. The orchestra was extremely good, thanks to the excellent work of Clifford on the banjo, ably instilling the spirit of music into the eager dancers. When the evening came to a close and the orchestra had played its final number, everyone departed in the best of spirits, hoping that future Christmas dances would be as enjoyable as this one was. THE JUNIOR DANCE During the winter term, the Junior class held a successful dance at the Junior School. Contrary to the usual custom of Blake dances, this one was given not only for the purpose of social enjoyment but also (and this was the real reason) to raise funds for the real entertainment of the year, the Junior-Senior. The room was gaily festooned with attractive decorations. As the invitation was open to all members of the Upper School, representatives of all the classes were there. The orchestra, though blatant at times, was nevertheless good and the dancers whirled about on inspired feet. Refreshments came when the dance was well on its way to a finish. Another attempt was made to render the floor a little smoother. It failed, however, and the dance went merrily on. regardless of this minor fact. Soon the affair ended and the guests went home leaving the disgruntled Juniors to count their meager returns. Page Fifty-one nhe., FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual football banquet was held this year on Monday evening. November 30. 1925. The entire first and second squads attended, and. in accordance with a plan inaugurated this year, the Lower School letter men. by virtue of their having won two out of their three games with St. Paul Academy, were also present. Of the alumni. Barney Clifford and Vinnie McLane were the sole representatives. while the faculty members present were ' Mike” Horne, Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Johnson, who acted as toastmaster. In the first speech of the evening. Mr. Cleveland briefly reviewed the Lower School season, and awarded letters to his team. He was followed by Captain Chute of the Lower School. Barney Clifford spoke next, reminiscing on some of the big games and famous Blake teams of his day. Then came Vinnie McLane. who praised the fighting spirit of this year's team. Robert Bugbee. captain-elect of the 1926 team, spoke briefly on the prospects for next year, and was followed by George Christian, this year’s captain, who contributed the best speech of the evening, in which he thanked the team and Mike” Horne for the support given him during the past season. Mr. Home concluded the program with a complete review of the season, praising the stars of the teams and expressing his hopes for a strong squad next year. The evening came to a close with the presentation of the Williams Cup to Captain George Christian, awarded annually to the best football player in school. THE SENIOR DINNERS Early in the winter term the first of the Senior dinners was held. Mr. Ireys talked to us on the milling industry. He outlined the development and progress of this tremendous business, detailing the interesting phases. After this engrossing talk. Mr. Tusler. of Magney and Tusler. a prominent architectural concern, gave the Seniors an extremely comprehensive discussion of this profession. It aroused quite a bit of interest in the audience, bringing forth numerous questions. Mr. Johnson, endeavoring to secure representatives of all professions, invited Dr. Fitzgerald to attend a dinner. His inclusive talk on medicine in general was well received and appreciated. As a fitting close to the series of dinners. Mr. Warner, of Warner's Hardware, ably discussed his business. The Seniors in general displayed a great interest in all the gatherings. Credit is due Mr. Johnson for his success in securing these interesting speakers. It is hoped that this pleasant custom will be continued in future years. Page Fifty-two FOUNDERS' DAY This year the annual celebration of Founders' Day was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The enthusiastic support of the student body, the sincere cooperation of the faculty, and the presence of an unusually large number of friends and supporters of the school, all combined to make the day a memorable one. Early in the afternoon the school and visitors assembled in the chapel, where the exercises were opened with the singing of the Alma Mater. Mr. Johnson then read the names of the founders and extracts from the speech which Mr. C. C. Bovey gave on the first Founders’ Day. Following this came a speech by Mr. E. C. Gale, one of the founders, in which he spoke of the early days of the school. A short address by Mr. Franklin M. Crosby concluded the program in the chapel. As a departure from the custom of former years, the outdoor program was confined solely to athletics. This plan was extremely successful and proved to be the most interesting feature of the day. The entire school was divided into two sections, the Browns and the Whites. George Christian, the captain of the football team, was leader of the Browns, and Robert Bugbee. captain-elect of the 1926 football team, led the Whites. From each side, a team was chosen to participate in each of the five sports which had been selected. The side winning the greatest number of points was to be presented with skull caps. The Whites won the field hockey and basketball games, while the Browns won touchball and volleyball games. With the annual football game yet to be played, the rival factions were tied at fifteen points each. The teams were evenly matched, and both teams played good football, each scoring a touchdown in the first half. The Browns had the better offense and scored a dropkick in the last half to win the game 10-7. thereby bringing to a climax a very eventful day. Following the game the Faculty entertained the Fathers at the annual Founders’ Day dinner. Page Fifty-three Page Fifty-four Dcvancy Clifford Warnrr Mr. Johnson Maughan I hnstian l i«?r on Sth'crcon STUDENT COUNCIL The Council started the year with an attitude of cooperation and a firm determination to be a helpful connecting link between the Faculty and the Student Body. It felt from the beginning that it could maintain a stronger position bv being reasonable. During Christmas vacation a meeting of the Council was held at Mr. Johnson's house, at his suggestion, to determine the exact function of the Council in the affairs of the school. The Council members gave their opinions on this subject. Mr. Lamb. Mr. Foss, and Mr. Cleveland also contributed to the discussion. All the suggestions and opinions tended toward the idea that the Council should be an advisory body. Mr. Johnson gave a short resume of former activities of former Councils. These all appeared to be attempts at discipline, a policy in direct contrast to our present views. By an advisory body the Council means to be a medium between the Faculty and the Student Body. As disciplinarians we would lose the respect and confidence of the students and would become mere policemen. Thus, our most effective method of procedure has been to transmit student opinion through Mr. Johnson to the Faculty and interpret Faculty points of view to the Student Body. To do this the Council decided to have weekly meetings which were to be open to any student who wished to make suggestions for the welfare of the school. The fact that these meetings were without Faculty supervision removed restraints and brought out true opinions. Thus, through the Council the students have felt more represented in matters concerning themselves. Since we are not a boarding school and do not have the unifying bonds which are attached to that type of school. Blake should have a body to excite spirit in its activities. The best way to promote spirit is to increase interest. We have intended to do this by becoming a positive factor in school affairs.

Maughau Clifford Warner Brauer Robinson ■o THE UNION This year the Union, under the leadership of its new advisor. Mr. Foss, has progressed admirably. Handicapped by the fact that only four old members were back, the organization, its ranks filled with new and inexperienced boys, quickly took its stride with unusual ability. Much is due to the spirit and interest which the Union as a whole displayed in its various activities. The programs were unusually interesting and inclusive in their character. Early in the season it was necessary to vote in several new members from both the Junior and Senior classes. However, this caused no interruption in the continuity of the meetings, in fact, it materially increased the strength of the organization and improved the quality of the programs. Contrary to previous years, the meeting seemed, with all respect to former leaders, to have more interest to the members by a more regular attendance. Foreign to the custom of previous years there were no outside speakers, but several Alumni attended some of the meetings and added to the discussion. In addition to the usual programs a mock trial was held with attendant humor. Much credit is due to Mr. Foss, for his interest and cooperation in making the Union a success.

Robinson. Jr. Edgar Nash Page Fifty-nine PUBLIC SPEAKING Public speaking during the past year was of an unusually high order, due largely to. the tireless efforts of Mr. Geiser. and we may safely call it one of the most successful years in the history of the school. This year an innovation was made with relation to the Fifth Form Declamation Contest. During the year members of the class spoke only before the Fourth and Fifth Forms instead of before the whole school as formerly. Then five speakers were chosen from the group as having done the outstanding work and these participated in the contest. First place was awarded to Hermann Strachauer. who gave a masterly rendition of Patrick Henry’s famous speech before the Virginia Convention, and second place to Charles Johnson for his exquisite interpretation of “The Return of a Southern Soldier.” The second contest of importance is that for the Thorpe Cup. It is extemporaneous and the subject always Minnesota. In this also a Page Sixty new method was adopted. In the past each entrant has been given a number of subjects for study and about ten minutes before the presentation he was given his subject. But this has tended to keep the number of contestants down to a small fraction of what it ought to be. So this year one subject was assigned to each boy with the understanding that he prepare himself thoroughly, but that the speech be absolutely extemporaneous. The hope is that this will increase the number of students actively interested in it and will also improve the speaking. Atherton Bean won first place and Frederick Brauer second place. The Williams Theme Contest, representing the third and last step in public speaking at Blake, is open only to Seniors. The contest consists of themes written and presented by the contestants. First place was allotted to Harry Robinson and second to Atherton Bean. The debating team this year was made up of Bean, captain: Brauer. Schoen Rene and L. Bugbee. alternate. The subject for debate was: Resolved: That the United States should join the League of Nations. Blake upheld the affirmative and lost, not because of weak argument, but because the speakers, less experienced could not equal the oratory of St. Paul Academy. The Strieker Cup for best debater was won this year by Atherton Bean. Interest in the debating was sadly lacking this year, but it is sincerely hoped that next year and in years to come debating will become as much of a school matter as football and other athletics are. It is quite as much an honor to have the debating banner gracing our walls as to have the Hill cup. So let everyone lend their efforts to the cause of regaining it and keeping it where it rightfully belongs. Too much credit cannot go to Mr. Gciser for the energy and interest which he used in directing the efforts of the debating team. It was under his guidance and through his tutelage that public speaking in general at Blake has progressed so rapidly this year and that the debating team did so nobly as it did. even in the face of defeat. We hope that he will continue to give his time and efforts to the development of forensic ability in the aspiring young orators of the school.

Advertising Manager Guy Thomas Page Sixty-t too This year, as usual, football season passed before any work was accomplished: when work started seriously however, the machinery of the staff worked smoothly and the first advertising campaign netted immediate results. Thanks to the efforts of the skilled photographic staff, many of the photographs of minor teams and organizations were run off early in the season. The literary department, although slow in getting under way. finally produced some more or less grammatical contributions. During the greater part of the winter the board engrossed itself in the all important canvass for advertisements. With this task adequately accomplished, attention was turned to the organizing of the book itself. Many plans and innovations were presented. With these in mind the 1926 Call o' Pan gradually took shape. The board is grateful to Mr. Hallenbeck for his interest and energy. Without his excellent leadership the work would not have progressed so well as it has. The Board sincerely hopes that this year’s book will be as enthusiastically received as former Call o' Pans have been.

Jr. Literary Editor John Devaney Assistant Advertising Manager Benjamin Nelson Assistant Joseph Gosnell Page Sixty-three Braucr Ross Warned Welch Johnson Schocn-Rcnc Nash Winston Mr. Cleveland Richards Bugbcc Harvey THE TORCH Up to a few years ago the I orch was characterized by rapid growth. Year by year, through the addition of new departments, pages were added, till the Torch grew from a sixteen page to a thirty-two page magazine. It may seem, however, that this growth was too rapid. Once the Torch had passed the early stages and seemed to run. unaided by the student body, carelessness set in. The result was that in 1923-24 the Torch issued but six numbers. This relapse caused concern and consequently school interest quickened. A well balanced Torch for 1924-25 was the result. This sudden recuperation made the students super-confident and this year, we are afraid, the Torch once more fell off. Too much work was left to the board, that already was overworked. We issued as many Torches as possible, everything considered, yet we feel several showed signs of stuffing. Our Editorials have been limited greatly and thus have suffered. It is hard to influence school spirit or school activities when nothing is left to influence with. The Literary Department proper declined: its book section grew. The Alumni Department, which should be our greatest, continued in the decline begun last year. Several editors were tried. Other departments, however, kept up to average. In the Exchanges we reverted to an old successful policy. The Humor grew in quality and quantity. Despite these faults mentioned, we have had a good year. We have pleased, at times, the students, the Faculty, parents and friends. What more can we ask? We have had an excellent advertisement average. We originated a new cover. Now. we believe, we are leaving next year's board as good a Torch as we found. We apologize for any crude mistakes we made and thank all who helped us in any way. whether by sharp advice or actual material.

Page Sixty-nine BLAKE SCHOOL PLAYS The annual presentation of Blake School Plays. April 10th. at the Studio Hall, possessed two noteworthy features: the actors were not only actors—they were stage electricians, stage carpenters, janitors, scene shifters, property men, and all the motley, roust-about crew of a theatre which makes a production go”: then, each play of the four presented had a merit of its own. a quality and distinction that made it a piece of literature in itself, as well as a necessary step in the building of the ideal program of one-act plays. From the light comedy of Susan Glaspell's 'Tickless Time through the wistful pathos of Lewis Beach's A Guest for Dinner to the tragedy in The Locked Chest of John Masefield, there was as definite play building as could be found. And lan Hay Beith’s The Crimson Cocoanut was a hilarious conclusion to the evening. T he ensemble work in each play was excellent. The lovable young Don Quixote of John Devaney in Ian Joyce was a nice contrast to the suave and indifferent exponent of stand-pat-ism in Edgar Nash's Eddy. Frank Richard’s Annie is a national figure and we offer him our respectful admiration for being able to include so many of Annie’s qualities in one characterization. Charles Johnson's heavenly complexion was once more the object of envious admiration from the feminine portion of his audience. Gordon Christian quite electrified his audience by the quiet power and restraint in his characterization of Mr. William Grant. Robert Bugbee brought the feeling of wind and sun and the open road to the reading of the lines of Courtley Vanbrugh. A more or less proscribed environment has limited the opportunities for comparing the merits of various butlers. But to the best of our knowledge Otto Schoen-Rene's Enright showed a number of high lights, which rather cast ether Enrights in the shadow. The Locked Chest moved with more speed and assurance than any of the earlier plays. Undoubtedly this was due to the careful work of each member of the cast of this play. The work of John Ross as the whining, snarling Thord Goddi and the intense quality of Charles Winston’s Vidgis Goddi. with the Ingiald. the man of power in the community, of Dave Maughan deserve especial mention. Due to the untimely illness of Bick Winston, the part of the waiter in The Crimson Cocoanut was filled by George Lamb, the coach, and he added to the speed of this farce as well as to its excellent comedy. In both these matters he was ably assisted by Harry Robinson. John McCarthy, I ony Welch and Guy Thomas. Lucius Bugbee made a convincingly vain and coy young lady. The intermissions between plays were delightfully filled by music contributed by the Blake School Orchestra. Page Seventy THE ORCHESTRA Until this year, the Blake Orchestra has been but a feeble organization. made up of aspiring young musicians, whose chief fault has been a limited knowledge of music. But this year under the expert guidance of Mr. Geiser. the school's acknowledged pianist, the orchestra has progressed by leaps and bounds. Early in the winter term a call for volunteers was broadcast with surprising results. Out of the large number of tryouts, a representative group was picked, and the first practice was held. With arduous practice a fairly good orchestra, with not a little semblance of harmony was produced. Indeed, the offerings at the Studio Hall during the dramatic presentation, were well received. But this was not its only public appearance: the halls of Blake resounded to a feverish beat of jazz during the recent Thorpe Cup contest. According to the present program the orchestra will play at the Lower School Declamation Contest and again at the Commencement Luncheon. Page Seventu-onc THE CHOIR This year the choir has progressed more than it ever has before. Although still but a comparatively new organization it has gained a firm foothold and promises to increase in ability from year to year. The Choir has become indispensable in the matter of introducing hymns in Chapel and in leading the school in its daily singing. On a certain day in the week the Choir practices diligently, learning new songs and reviewing old ones. Much of the credit for the Choir s success is due Mr. Geiser for expert guidance. At the beginning Welch was elected leader and has upheld the dignity of this position with marked ability. The Friday after-luncheon sings were greatly aided by the leading qualities of the Choir. May the Choir continue to be as prominent in the eyes of the school as it has been this year. CHOIR PERSONNEL VII VI III Brauer Maughan Bailey Bugbee, L. Ross. W. Chute Bugbee. R.

In the first place, all the dues were paid up very promptly early in the year, which is rather unusual and very creditable to the Treasurer. Mr. Cleveland. We managed to take over the swimming team this year and at the same time execute our regular duties. The Athletic Advisory Board is anxious to incite a mutual understanding between themselves and the whole school, which will promote greater interest in the meetings. We feel as though we have approached this end and that next year things ought to start out with real pep and enthusiasm. We are very grateful to the Dramatic Association for helping to send the baseball team down to Milwaukee. They worked hard and it shows the proper spirit.

A. 0 Page Seventy-nine Page Eighty The 1925 football season started with a practically green team. Mr. Olson very kindly offered his services to the squad during the ten day period of early practice and we certainly feel indebted to him for the way he worked the boys into condition. When school opened on the 21st of September. Mr. Coulter took the reins, and started the small squad of twenty-four men on a drive to meet the strain of a hard schedule. As the first game (Roosevelt) drew near and the fellows were adapting themselves to Mr. Coulter's style of coaching. Mike answered an urgent call to take charge of the team and relieve Mr. Coulter cf a heavy burden that he was carrying at this time. I might stop at this point to stress the fact that Mr. Coulter took up the coaching position with a wonderful attitude and spirit, and the team is very grateful for what he did at that time and for the fight he put in the second team later on. With Mike back with us. and the Roosevelt game only four days off. the team assumed a fighting spirit that is characteristic of all Mike s teams. We fell at the hands of Roosevelt, being defeated by a score of 28 to 0. This did not discourage the team, for Roosevelt possessed a strong, good working eleven and Mike had only been with us four days. Unfortunately, we were forced to make a trip down to Faribault. to meet the strong Shattuck team. We bowed to them. 55 to 0; but still retained a deep confidence in our coach, which every member of the team could not help but have. The next game was played away from home with Luther Seminary. We met defeat at their hands by the score of 27 to 7. but showed a great improvement and gave an example of our scoring power. All the defeats up to this point were met at the hands of stronger and more experienced teams, leaving no one at fault. During this time. Mike had been working with a green, but willing team—aiming for the big game of the season. He had instilled into the team a spirit that any school ought to boast of. The fellows went into the S. P. A. game and won it 28 to 0. the worst we've beaten them in the history of the rivalry between the two schools. They not only fought because they knew that Mike’s teams were made up of fighting men: but because they wanted to make him glad to have come back to a school where every one wanted him and needed him. Because of the grand finish accomplished by the fellow's that beat S. P. A., and the willingness on the part of the second team, under the guidance of Mr. Coulter, this season can easily be termed successful. With the school backing up the team in such a way. with Bob Bugbec as next year’s captain, it needs only one thing more to make next year’s team look very prosperous, that is to have Mike back again. Captain George Christian. Page Eighty-one m I Page Eighty-tivo i Bugbec, L. Cook Coach Coulter Moles Hollcrn Bugbec, R. Shocn-Rcnc, Mgr. Trngsdorf Christian Robinson, Capt. McCarthy Dodge Dcvancy BASEBALL 1926 Few veterans were back from the preceding year. But the loss of letter men was not felt so keenly as it was in football and hockey. Many promising candidates showed up and many boys who had played tennis in previous years looked to baseball instead for their laurels. As a result a fairly strong and well-balanced team was produced. The fact that the first two games were lost did not discourage the squad, for our opponents. Phalen-Luther. presented a team composed of real ball players that would defeat any ordinary high school team and would give most colleges a hard game. Our stock was boosted, furthermore, when a tie game was played with Roosevelt, which is considered one of the strongest teams entered in the city high school league. With plenty of time to prepare for our big games with Milwaukee. Shattuck. and S. P. A., it is hoped that we can turn out a well-rounded machine with which we can turn the tables against our opponents. Following are the members of the first squad: Robinson. Captain: Christian. Moles. Devaney. Dodge. Hollern. Tragsdorf. McCarthy. R. Bugbee. L. Bugbee. Cook. Crowley and Gordon Christian.

Home Page Eighty-five Page Eighty-six VY' REVIEW OF 1925 BASEBALL SEASON Prospects looked particularly bright at the beginning of the season with all but two veterans back from the 1924 season. However, some members of the team were unable to play because of their scholastic standing, and as a result the line-up was changed frequently. For a time it was difficult to produce a smooth-working machine. Practice commenced with the spring vacation when a fair number turned out each morning for batting practice. The season opened with the Alumni game. As might be expected so early in the season, the playing was somewhat loose, especially the fielding. The score was 14-7 in favor of the graduates. There were still two weeks before our first big game with S. P. A., in which time Mike” took the squad in hand and smoothed over the rough spots. The result was a smooth-working machine that defeated S. P. A. 15-9. On May 5 the Fathers came out to cross bats with us. The game was just what we needed to put us in shape for Shattuck. with whom we had resumed relations. In this game Blake gained an early lead which they maintained, although they were hard pressed in the last few innings. The final score was 7-5. with Blake on the long end. From this point on we had a game every three or four days, until the final one on May 30 with Milwaukee. Two additional games were played with S. P. A., on May 15 and 27. These resulted in 15-7 and 8-7. A game was played with the Roosevelt High School. They presented a strong team and we lost 10-6. On May 23 we motored down to Shattuck. With only a limited time in which to play. Blake decided to pile up an early lead. They kept adding and adding to that early lead, until at the end of a game of seven innings Blake had accumulated 1 5 tallies to her opponent’s 2. The final and big game of the season, that with Milwaukee, was played on our own diamond. The day appointed was ideal for a ball game. The Milwaukee team appeared with a strong line-up. Their early lead, although threatened many times by the Blake nine, was never overcome. In the last few innings Milwaukee shattered all our hopes with a fusillade of hits and runs. Because they had previously defeated S. P. A.. Milwaukee gained possession of the Yale Alumni Cup for one year. Let us hope that it is only for a year and that with a nucleus of Christian. Robinson. Dodge. Moles. Hollern, Devaney and Ross for next year Blake can again secure for the Trophy Room that coveted Yale Alumni Cup. Page Eighty-seCen Page Eighty-eight Irrys Ros Christian Coulter Hollern Devaney Doerr McCarthy Dodge, ('apt. Robinson Cook HOCKEY Hopes for a championship hockey team were somewhat dim when the first practice was held. Dodge. Robinson and Ross were the only letter men back. Among the new candidates were McCarthy. Cook. Hollern. Doerr, Devaney. Furst. Savage and Ireys. This was a good showing, but unfortunately most of them were quite small for a competition with teams of the calibre that were on the schedule. And further it was found that among these candidates there was not one out for goal guard. In response to a plea for a candidate. George Christian offered to try out for the position. Mr. Coulter took over the difficult task of moulding a strong team out of new material. In respect to the games won and lost, our team was not as fortunate as some in former years. Page Ninety J. Pillsbury Plant Olnon E. PilUburjr (lamlilf McCabe Rizer Robinson Howard Chute Snyder Walker Bailey LOWER SCHOOL HOCKEY TEAM HOCKEY (Continued) Out of six played we won one. that against S. P. A. Throughout the whole season the squad displayed wonderful spirit, and in this respect the season may be called successful. Captain Dodge was the mainstay of the team during the entire year, while the work of Robinson was exceptional. Lack of ice limited the practices considerably, so that for the last three weeks the only practices were the three games played in that time.

Christian McCabe CLASS BASKETBALL With the close of the hockey season, class basketball was foremost in the eyes of the school. Because of the keen competition expected, unusual interest was shdwn. The Seniors were favorites in view of the fact that the whole team, that showed up so well last year, was back, with the exception of one man. The Juniors and Sophomores produced formidable aggregations and were conceded an outside chance of winning. The first game between the Seniors and Juniors was a close one. By reason of their weight the Seniors were superior. But it was not until the second half that the Juniors weakened. The Seniors then piled up a big lead. The other games the Seniors won with comparative ease. One game, by way of mention, was the game in which the Lower School defeated the V Form. 8-7, Following are the final standings and the line-up of the winning team. LINE-UP L. Bugbee H.

At the start of the season the outlook was very bright. Almost all of last year's team was back and several other stars had been discovered. The first setback was that of Moles, our star breast stroke swimmer, who injured his leg and was confined to the hospital for two months. Next Kelly and Belden were lost to the team, which greatly handicapped us in the dashes. On January 15 we defeated Edison High 47-22 in the Minneapolis Club pool. Next we met defeat by the Central High team. 47-22. On March first we again defeated Edison. 41-27, and in our last meet University High defeated us 41-27. Page Ninety-four Mr. Bosanko Moles Harvey. R. Pierson Thomas Warner Winston, C. Bugbee, L. Guy Thomas was high point man of the year, his score totaling 40 points. Leon Warner was next with 21 points and Charles Winston third with 17. In the 220-yard swim. Leon Warner and Charles Winston starred. The back stroke events were easily taken care of by Carl Pierson. who promises to give the leading swimmers in the state keen competition. Lucius Bugbee took care of the diving, while Moles and Harvey assumed the responsibility of the breast stroke. Guy Thomas figured in the dashes, being the team's most consistent winner. T oo much credit cannot be given to Captain Warner and Coach Bosanko for their excellent guidance of the team throughout the season. The team wishes to thank the Minneapolis Club for their cooperation and to give its best wishes to Captain-elect Warner for next year. Page Ninety-five Page Ninety-six . J tf' Jrrs Hi l anr laatra y r M tier The time has drawn near, our days at dear old Blake are numbered. Graduation looms alarmingly in the well known and much hackneyed offing. As we. the class of 1926. gaze on the milk-sopped faces of our pink-cheeked successors, we realize with a feeling of infinite sadness that it is to these, these mere babes, that we must relinquish our dear and long-cherished possessions. T hat time-honored and delightful custom of gracing the heads of the various tables, we bequeath to the Juniors, and also the distinct privilege of going in town fully ten minutes before the rest of the school. We also leave them a box of blank half-holiday cards in the office safe (they can have the safe too. so far as we re concerned). To Mr. Lindman we leave a self-locking completely collapsible pointer finished in two tone Duco. Since the Seniors probably won't find time for a Senior Room, we leave it to the Fifth Form, who will find it useful for the storage of signs, privileges and dignity. Our great store of valuable books, if not stolen by the above-mentioned Juniors, becomes the property of the Salvation Army, who will find them excellent fuel. The treasuries of the Senior Class, the Torch and the Union (if there is any left after the Brawl), shall be amassed into one congomerlate lump for the purpose of financing an egg hunt in the vicinity of Blake Forest, in which the Faculty will display their egotistical qualities. To Bob Harvey we leave the sum of ten (10) cents so that he may purchase a new violin. To Moles we leave a pair of water-wings, and to Bob Bugbee a pillow and a bottle of liniment (also in office safe). From the above fund the sum of fifty (50) cents shall be subtracted which shall be used to purchase E. Brown a volume entitled. “T he Operation and Maintenance of a Ford Truck. To Mr. Foss we leave all of the left-over College Board Credits. But one thing remains—to give this away, it doesn't weigh much, is like wrenching forth the very core of our existence. Yet generous hearted and noble as we have always been, we must do it. To you Juniors we leave the combined mass of our Burke papers, the crowning insult of many trials and tribulations.

They not only broke Frecda's heart by breaking her plates, but they also ruined the student body to such an extent that one wonders how they can dispense with masks. Their dexterity in the manipulation of crockery is indeed marvelous. Dodge, after arduous practice, can now com- pletely destroy a platter of spoons in two minutes. One cannot suppress a chuckle when one thinks of the day when McCabe neatly dropped his tray to the tunc of forty smashed dishes, and when McCarthy, the sly little devil, substituted ground glass for Mr. Geiser’s sugar. (They had some really lovely flowers at the funeral. McCarthy's, of course). It became a regular habit of Welch’s to fire the waiters every noon for failure to comply with the regulations. However, the strain began to tell on him and he ceased his playfulness. The waiters, imbued with the spirit of good cheer, held dinners at the Athletic Club, of which the least said the better. In fact, these brawls were events not soon to be forgotten by the sons of Hash. The waiters are very grateful to their leader. Mrs. Watson, whose unerring aim has so often corrected mistakes made by these mischievous lads and for her three bags full of advice.

That night was the night of the plays. During the course of the day several quite good looking mahogany tables were borrowed and in handling well scratched and marred. A F-ord truck was inadvertently stolen (mistaken of course for Blake's fallen arch demon of the highway). The stifling hot hall was crowded with bickering families, anxious parents and yelping brats. Only an hour and a half late the curtain crcakily parted and struggled toward the wings. Half way the rope broke. A storm of curses issued from back stage. But Lincoln rushed out with a ladder and had the thing fixed in 1 5 minutes by the clock. The play commenced. Devaney. inspired for the once, raised his voice in the opening lines and rudely woke the slumbering audience. Mr. Johnson apologized to the audience and Devaney relapsed into his accustomed mumbling. Things went unevenly enough till about the middle of the play. Devaney was awkwardly necking Johnson for several cruel moments amid cryptic comments bv the Lower Scholars. All of a sudden the forest primeval shook with a mighty wind and a gigantic wrench descended on Devaney s head. He surveyed the bent steel and nonchalantly tossed it into the audience amid shouts of applause from the mothers. Nothing much happened in the next play, except when Bugbee deftly dropped his beard in the soup. He recovered quickly, however, accompanied by uncouth guffaws from the Nortbrup element. The Locked Chest opened auspiciously with the collapse of the artistic drapes on Ross and the second maid. The only inconvenience it really caused was that McCarthy, who just hadn't bothered to slip on his dress was standing behind the curtains. There were no more serious breaks until Maughan and his henchman tipped over the curtained doorway, muffled oaths, and lined up on the stage like a gun squad. Look. mama, there's Red Grange. some keen-eyed brat in the audience yelled. One really doesn't blame him after a shuddering look at McRae. I he real fun of the evening was when Winston couldn't unlock the chest in which Harvey lay. Honest. Bill, it was a half hour before he stopped kicking. It seems that work had palled on the stage force, so they instituted a lively game of craps. However, they outdid themselves and succeeded in knocking the dumb-waiter down in The Crimson Cocoanut. But Lincoln, quick as a wink, flashed on to the stage on the janitor's bicycle, scooped up the mess and retreated to the wings. An amusing little event occurred in this play. It seems some rainstorm had substituted a real bomb for the fake one. Poor old George Lamb! He was such a good fellow. It was two days before wc got it all off the ceiling. To continue. the final curtain collapsed and the audience was rapidly driven out by the Blake Orchestra.
