Ed” is due for a few sly digs from the Call o Pan board, but we will not stoop to petty slander. We can only say that he kept the Torch clean at any cost. His stirring editorials aroused strong feeling in the school, mostly against the Torch. His status as the best-read man in the class is unquestioned, and his extensive library contains some exceedingly refreshing volumes: among them several rare old Haldemann-Julius first editions. It is be cause of this rich literary background that he has acceded to the honored position of class historian, with all the dignity and majesty attached thereunto. In closing, we are moved to say. Drink Nash's Coffee and Enjoy the Best” (not an advertisement). Page 7 went y-one

'26 Varsity Club DAVID CHARI.ES MAUGHAN Entered Blake 1920 Dave Williams A decent boldness ever meets with friends. Dave has justly earned for himself the title of The Sage of the Class of 27. His weighty flights of oratory delivered in a ponderous basso have invariably influenced the ultimate actions of his classmates, and the school generally recognizes him as the Zeus among his fellow Olympians. In his lighter moments he lends his august presence to the Choir, composing with Harvey and Ross the Senior element in that little group of earnest seekers after discord. But his real future lies in the gentle art of waiting on table, as Miss Berglund will testify. In all seriousness. Dave has. as editor-in-chief of the '27 Call o’ Pan. done the school a real and lasting service, a service that will be remembered and appreciated long after he has left us for the higher haunts of learning.

Blue Streak Yale Sheffield Genius is the capacity for ecadiny hard work. Back in the “Stone Arc' in 1915. when most of us were just learninR to walk. Ben embarked on his checkered career at Blake. Through the long, hard winters, he stood by the ship, and now twelve years in th: making, he has emerged—a Senior. He is a striking example of what Blake School will do for the growing boy. and lays proud claim to the heaviest beard in the Senior class. In the still, small hours of most any night. Ben may be found burning the midnight oil at Mr. Geiscr's house, patiently being exposed to the ravages of history. Every hope is entertained for his complete recovery. Ben s perseverance is clearly exemplified in the fact that after four years of plugging on the football squad he made his letter this year. We feel sure that Ben will go onward and upward, in his caieer. and ultimately reach a high level, nailing “Master Slab Shingles’’ on the roofs of Minneapolis. Page Twenty-two
