Throughout his association with the School he has given his best efforts to its betterment. In the capacity of advisor to the Class of 1 928 he has devoted his energies toward our help and success in a manner characteristic of his entire conduct as faculty member and as advisor to former senior classes. His long experience with the School, his almost infinite fund of knowledge in regard to the requirements of various colleges, and. last but not least, his conscientious efforts to aid the Seniors have made him an ideal advisor to the Class of 1928. We hereby extend our most sincere thanks to Mr. Foss in appreciation of the part he has played in making our last year at Blake one of which we may be justly proud. Page Eighteen HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1928 We. the Class of 1928. are about to leave the halls of Blake forever. and with the thought comes a mingled expression of joy and regret, joy that we have passed the first milestone of our lives and are about to enter the higher fields of learning, and regret that we are parting from the school that has become a part of so many of us and in which we can no longer linger with a feeling of subjugation. But before we leave, let us look back over the happiest years of our lives and review our activities: and let us hope that you will bear with us awhile as we voice a bit of pride, perhaps, in our accomplishments. As we joined together at the Junior School in the year 1915 to glean our first knowledge from this world, we had as a nucleus Doerr. Walker and Hollern. After many trials and tribulations, we successfully weathered five years under motherly and tender-hearted affection. Then, entering the Senior School as the most lowly of Lower Schoolers, we did nothing brilliant and maintained an absolute sense of inferiority, distinguishing ourselves only by our supremacy in scholarship and by a slight participation in athletics. Upon entering the Upper School we were imbued with the sense of our own prestige, but were promptly reduced to the usual rank of lowly Freshmen. But it was in this year that we first entered into prominence as a factor in school life. We were represented on the Council by Ford and Hollern: one of our members made the varsity ball team: three were selected for the choir: three took part in dramatics and Devaney made the Call o' Pan Board. Returning to school in the fall of 1925 as high and mighty Sophomores, we promptly subdued the Freshmen in a series of struggles and firmly established our place in school life. That year we had Devaney on the Council. He was also our sole representative on the football team. In hockey Cook. Devaney. and Hollern held down regular positions, while Thomas represented the class on the newly-formed swimming team. In dramatics five members participated, with two of them taking leads, Devaney again was on the Call o’ Pan Board and Johnson helped to make the Torch a success. In the Fifth Form Declamation Contest for the Blake Union Medal Strachauer was awarded first place with Johnson a close second. All this helped to make the year a memorable one. and ore which will befit the rank and prominence to which the Sophomore Class should aspire. Owing to the inactivity of the Senior Class of 1927. we were destined to carry a huge responsibility as Juniors. We entered into every possible field of endeavor and it cannot justly be said that the class was not a credit to Blake. Devaney and Hollern were on the Page Nineteen Council, with Cook. Doerr. Devaney. Thomas. Bennethum, Harvey and Hollern in the Union, which can fairly be said to be the most worthy and most representative organization of which the School can boast. To the undefeated football team of 1926 our class contributed Devaney and Van Dusen. both of whom played a prominent part in the utter rout of all Blake’s opponents. In hockey. Cook. Devaney. Doerr and Hollern helped materially in having Blake acclaimed state academic champions after waging the most bitter of battles with the foremost prep teams of the state. In swimming. Thomas. Van Dusen and Walker combined in givirg the School the twin city championship. losing only two meets, both to Shattuck. the state champions. As we returned to school in the fall of 1927 as august Seniors, we were thoroughly instilled with the realization that we were culminating our prep school life. We saw that the success of the school year rested largely on our initiative and activity. We were hailed as an ambitious class and we have tried to fulfill our duties as faithfully as possible. At the beginning of the year our numbers were augmented by McRae. Warner and Paddock. As the football season came and passed with its victories and few defeats, the Senior Class contributed its full share of lettermen. among whom were Captain Devaney. Van Dusen. Cook. Hollern. Warner and McRae. With the coming of the hockey season Blake’s prospects were admitted to be dim. but after a brilliant come-back in mid-season both Shattuck and St. Paul Academy were defeated, besides many lesser opponents. Captain Cook. Doerr and Hollern made letters. The swimming team was equally successful, winning half its meets. Captain Thomas. Van Dusen. Walker and Warner were the lettermen. The baseball prospects for this year were bright, four Senior lettermen returning. Captain Hollern. Cook. Devaney and Van Dusen. While we have endeavored to give our best in athletics, we have carried on the other activities to the best of our ability, placing Macnie on the debating team, taking all the executive offices in dramatics, having one in the choir and five on the Publications Board. In the traditional Williams Theme Contest Harvey was the winner. The Union, upholding its high position in school affairs, had Devaney for its president in the first half-year and Warner in the latter half. The Council, with Doerr as Head of the School, and Devaney and Hollern as members, has prospered greatly. This. then, is the history of the Class of 1928. We realize its defects, but we also realize honestly and unconccitedly its good qualities. We. of the Class, are not the ones to judge our own shortcomings or accomplishments. We leave that to you. But we hope and trust that from small beginnings and through hard struggles, our successes and achievements have proved worthy of Blake traditions and ideals. John M.

A body that is like unto a beanpole, an ingratiating smile as sweet as the odor of new-mown hay. a personality like a summer breeze, and a deceptive appearance of constant industry: that is Benny.“ During his two years of interment in the Blake Asylum for Manly Morons he has shown an energy and versatility that has amazed all with whom he has come in contact. The grim struggle to perfect the football team was relieved divers times by the graceful form of Benncthum. flitting hither and yon. bringing water, footballs and new paddles to the scene of the fray. At Publications Board meetings his typewriter, clicking merrily along in the manner of a train going over the rails, has raised high hopes in the breast of the harassed editor-in-chief for reams of material. However, statistics show that Benny'’ holds the Board record for the most noise and the fewest words on the typewriter. Casting aside all facetiousness, he has displayed his true worth as president of the Senior Class. He has discharged his duty faithfully and has earned the gratitude of his classmates.

Alas, how can our poor powers convey to you an impression of the Angel Child of the Senior Class? Every morning as we assemble in the august Halls of Learning we arc greeted by the shining countenance and flawless complexion of Henry Cook. At lunch, also, his face, hovering ever near, eager to serve, makes the meals more delectable. His earnest expression has often disconcerted opposing hockey players, as has his endless conversation struck dismay into the hearts of many a despairing master. In his capacity as treasurer of the Union he has displayed a singular honesty, an unaccountable disappearance of only fifty-one dollars and sixty nine cents being discovered at the end of his regime. Perhaps the fate of the sixty-nine cents may be traced to his ownership, in conjunction with Devancy, of a 1924 Ford auto. When this conveyance rolls out of the gate at the end of the drive for the last time we shall shed tears of genuine regret. Page Twenty-I Wo Captain. Football. '27 Football. 25. 26.

For years the graduating classes have endured Dewy's unspeakable write-ups in this here publication. Now it's our turn. He has long vented his spleen upon various departments of the school, making targets of the Seniors, the Lower School, and its brother division, the Fifth Form. This is due to the fact that he finds himself quite out of his clement in these juvenile surroundings. Nevertheless he has many times condescended to come down off his pedestal, with the results shown above beside his charming likeness. But here, we can’t go on like this. We lack our subject's vitality. His athletic prowess has been demonstrated in and on many fields (sec top of page). As Union president he attained a position second only to the organization's guiding spirit. Mr. Lamb. The Publications Board this year has produced a bumper crop of split infinitives and dangling participles, thanks to our editor, who has kept us entertained during meetings by enjoyable verses, in which he has held up the waiters, the faculty and the headmaster to ribald ridicule. When he descends upon New Haven. Dcvancy of Blake will give the college boys a real treat. Page 7 wentg- three Head of School. '28 Business Manager. Publications Board. ’28 Property Manager.

Charss” started way back in the dark ages when Blake was winning debates and having Senior privileges. During all his struggles he has preserved a go-gel-’em spirit that has seen him through many a tight hole. As Head of the School he has encountered endless difficulties such as delivering fiery harangues to an unreceptive student body and presenting heart-rending appeals to an equally unreceptive Headmaster. His work as business manager of the Publications Board alone might be enough to insure his everlasting fame if his unique orthography had not already rendered his name certain of immortality. But it is as head waiter that he shines. The wav he has acquitted himself on various and sundry occasions when McRae dropped a trayful of desserts or when Van Dusen choked on a loaf of bread is wonderful to relate. And as for the graceful manner in which he tossed a doughnut to Spike Richardson when the latter fell into the milk pitcher—! His entire conduct as seneschal is indicative of the spirit in which he does everything. Seriously speaking, vc arc sorry to see him go and we arc sure that, leaving the Noble Lowers, he will carry on in the manner in which he has gone through Blake.

Always a bit fatigued in the mornings, he is shown every consideration by an understanding Faculty, and along about the seventh period he manages to come out of it. quite freshened after his little siesta, and ready for the daily duel with Monsieur Bosanko. which usually is terminated, after three minutes of indifferent combat, with the complete collapse of both contestants. The sole songster in the class, he may be seen of a morning being hauled to his feet by his fellow choristers, only to break out feverishly with Ain't Got Nobody, rendered with intense feeling but practically no melody whatsoever. In spite of Mr. Cleveland s caustic comments on his literary efforts, he has developed a style all his own. darn it. and with it he is piecing together what he is pleased to term a mystery story for the Torch. Being as how this story is still in its earlier spasms of growth, the Bishop has decided to stay on and stick it out to the end. which, at a conservative estimate, ought to be some time in 1942.

In his stormy career at the old school ' Holly has borne his many adversities with a patience characteristic of his namesake, the Old Grey Mare. He has suffered in silence Cleve's multifold upbraidings for misuse of mouthfilling polysyllables, an expression of mute reproach on his countenance. His versatility in athletics has astounded all and sundry, for he has been one of the mainstays of the football, baseball and hockey teams during his last year in the forest primeval. This spring he was shifted from his accustomed position of catcher to that of pitcher and has bid fair for being numbered among the Mound-Builders of Blake. Because of the fact that he embarked upon the deep blue sea of Blake School life when most of us were learning the safe navigation of our perambulators, and because of his admirable perseverance in seeing the fight through to the grim finish. ’’Holly'' was elected to chronicle the achievements of the Class of 1928. The reader may see the finished product on page nineteen of this book. CaOtat emptor. Of late he has taken up the fascinating game of bridge, and if the authorities at Dartmouth request him to leave it will doubtless be to save his fellow students from bankruptcy at the hands of this wizard.

We point with pardonable pride to our Valedictorian, the only member of the Class who can work a problem in long division clear through to the bitter end. Me has often been mistaken for a faculty member by near-sighted old ladies visiting the school, and we have it from a reliable source that one of the mental ciphers in the Lower School addressed him as ’’Sir for the belter part of the year. The Class has always thought that some sort of honorary degree (the third degree, for instance) ought to be conferred upon Bob for the prodigious amount of free tutoring he has contributed. but when the time came, the captain of the debating team put his foot down hard and said no. he didn't think he cared for any. so there you are. It's a lot to expect, but if luck is with him. the boy may pass his Boards this June, and then maybe they'll get a little sense down in New Haven. Page Tiventy-seven Librarian. '28 General Information Cup. ‘28 PAUL EZEKIEL PADDOCK. JR. Entered Blake 1927 Ambassador ’ Zche Princeton My library was dukedom large enough. When Paul entered Blake last fall, he was intrusted with the gigantic task of making order out of chaos in what, for want of a better name, was naively termed the library. In conjunction with this, he was also assigned to the even more gigantic task of gathering in from outlying districts some two hundred odd (very) books which had been dispersed to the homes of Hterarily inclined members of the School. In one short year he has built up a systematic arrangement of what was before a mere incongruous mass of literature, thus putting to shame Hercules and his seven labors. When the time for the General Information Contest rolled around. Paul sauntered nonchalantly out of the study hall door at the end of fifteen minutes, leaving on the desk more knowledge than was displayed in an hour by the rest of his fellow students. He plans to enter Princeton next year and. although having gotten a bad start by spending one year at the University of Minnesota, he is pointing for the diplomatic service. His departure from the little red schoolhouse will be mourned by all. and especially by the office force. Page Twenty-eight JAMES HARDEN PEARCE Entered Blake 1924 Jimmer. Jim,” Al” Minnesota He wears the rose of youth upon him. In the last year “Jimmer' has. in some mysterious manner. forged rapidly ahead to one of the coveted positions in the upper fourth of the Senior Class. Living up to its tradition of penetrating to the bottom of matters which have baffled the student body, notable among these being the Riddle of the Torch Finances and the notorious Waiters' Budget Problem, the Call o’ Pan conducted an investigation into this affair in an effort to expose the truth. The mystery is a mystery no longer. Every afternoon the Dark Horse hops the 3:29 Minneapolis trolley (which leaves Hopkins at 3:26. as Mr. Foss has informed us) and puts in several hours of intensive study. His conscientious efforts in the realm of literary activities secured for him a place among the five to compete for the Williams Alumni Prize. An interested feminine spectator was heard to exclaim when “Jimmer'' arose to speak: “Why. I never knew Lindbergh went to Blake! Indeed, he has several times been accosted on the street by romantic maidens because of this startling resemblance. The Senior Room will sadly miss his light-hearted cavortings in years to come.

Coming back to Blake after several year's vacation at Blair Academy. Blairstown. New Joisey. Spike quickly regained his place near the top of the class. This may be due to his unfailing ability to wear down the resistance of faculty members in any argument. Almost any seventh period he may be found in Mr. Geiser's room, wrangling holly over the Whiskey Rebellion or whether it was Stanton or Arthur that President Johnson removed from office. His face, rivalling the hue of the Alma Mater's outside walls, immediately convinces the onlooker that the little man believes in what he is saying, right or wrong. We are reminded of the time last fall when Spike's Bowery physiognomy caused him and Steve Walker to be arrested by a blue-coated Bobbie up at Lake Street for carrying concealed weapons. But in spite of all this good, boyish humor. Spike really has proved himself of great merit. His conscientious labor as manager of the tennis team has earned him much credit. We hope dat he don't get hisself in no jails before he gets outa collitch an we know he ll do Blake proud way out West in Stanford. Page Thirty Swimming Team. '25. 26. ‘27. '28 Manager Swimming Team.

Guy has been treading the paths that are supposed to lead to knowledge, and in spite of having strayed rather frequently from said paths, he now finds himself within shouting distance of a diploma, and the discovery has proved something of a shock. He has been very impartial through it all. giving quite as much of his time to school as he has to winter sojourns in Florida, the breaking in of his new cars, and the ladies.’’ as he so quaintly puts it. We deem it superfluous to go into detail here concerning his swimming prowess, for all that has been ably set forth elsewhere. However, the sterling performance he turned in as baseball manager this spring commands attention. Rumor has it that during the Hopkins game he drank six large bottles of strawberry pop. rolled down the Vink back of first base and was found late on the following afternoon by his long-suffering assistant. Rizer. who was looking for foul balls. But then, life is like that. Page Thirty-one Football. '26. '27 Swimming, ’27. ‘28 Baseball. f27. 28 Union. 27. 28 President.

It is merely Little Freddie caught in a charming pose, that is. in as charming a pose as it is possible to catch Little Freddie In his breath-taking existence in this vale of tears he has been the cause of many a grey hair on his mother's head. He has ofttimes slunk privily out to Hopkins there to take daredevil rides in an aeroplane. His speed mania comes to earth at times 3nd for this reason he has constructed, with the able assistance of Foster, a Ford racer, upon which he has bestowed the imposing cognomen of the Laurel Valve Special. According to them as know, he is shortly to publish to the world a book on How to Build a Ford Racer in Two Parts.” Just imagine! A literatus in our midst! In all that pack of voracious trenchermen, called, by way of courtesy, the waiters. Freddie has led the field with his gustatorial gymnastics. In the manly game of football, also, he displays that rabidity characteristic of his absorption of victuals. He will be back with us yet another year to continue in his audible enjoyment of Blake School's much advertised cuisine. Page Thirty-two Orchestra. '25. 26 Swimming. '26.

There was a time. when, in the company of O . y Taylor. Steve was wont to gambol about the sylvan environs of his Alma Mater, brandishing a hand-forged case-knife, but all that is past now. and he confines himself to an occasional airing in his rebuilt Chevrolet. Because of an uncanny ability to put two and two together and get four every time. Steve was entrusted with the Class Lunds, and we re banking on him to hang on to said funds, such as they are. Lie made quite a splash on the swimming team, and save for lamentable tendencies toward swinging back and forth on the rings over the Minneapolis Club pool, and getting lost on the way to the various meets, his spirited execution of the breast-stroke garnered an imposing total of points during the season. He does not choose to enter college next fall, so he will be back, with most of the rest of us. and it looks as if we d have a grand time. too. ----------- Page I htrlg-thcee POST GRADUATES. 1928 JOHN THOMAS McRAE Entered Blake 1920 U.

President Joseph Gosnell, Vice-President John Welch, Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Horne. Advisor THE JUNIOR CLASS When this school year opened it appeared that Charles Pierson had left us for Lawrenceville where he has been making quite a name for himself as an athlete. Joe Gosnell dropped out early in the fall term and is now going to Central High School. Bob Foster also left us about Christmas and is now working in his father s store. Despite these depletions, however, our numbers remain about Page Thirty-six the same, due to the entrance of William Peet. Adams Ankeny, William Welch, and George Rogers. In athletics we believe the Juniors to have been unusually successful in spite of their small numbers. On the football team six of the lettermen were Juniors, John Welch. Robert Rizer. Schermerhorn. Macgregor. Rogers, and Captain-elect Nash. In swimming, though not prominent in numbers, we were well represented by Bob Rizer whose performance in the breaststroke and diving gained him the captaincy for next year. Wakefield and Captain-elect Schermerhorn received letters for hockey while only a bad accident kept Macgregor from making the team. In baseball we do not hold such a prominent place. Rogers being the only member of our class on the first team at present, although Foster and Ramsden hold prominent places on the squad. As in athletics, though somewhat hampered by the smallness of the class, we were well represented in almost every school activity. Wakefield. Schermerhorn. Foster. Nash. Macgregor. John Welch. William Welch. Ramsden. and Rizer are members of the Union, with Nash vice-president, and John Welch and Macgregor on the nominating committee. A very commendable percentage, when the number of members of the class is considered. In debating, one of the least praised, yet one of the most desirable activities of the School, we were represented by Lawrence and Crosby, both contributing a great deal toward the success of the team. The choir also shows a preponderance of Juniors, namely, Crosby. Wakefield. Rizer, Macgregor. Ankeny, and Peet. with Strachauer holding the position of head of the organization. Unlike these aforementioned school affairs, we were singularly unsuccessful in dramatics. Rizer and John Welch being the only ones to get parts. For this decided lack we offer no excuses other than want of talent and participation in other activities. On the Publications Board. Wakefield is at present our only representative. holding the position of photographic editor, and it is very probable that he will hold a higher position next year. Scholastically, although never brilliant, the Juniors have managed to keep a fair average through the year and once or twice have even had members on the honor roll. On the Council we were represented by John Welch and Willis Nash. In closing this short history of what we consider to be a highly satisfactory year, we wish to express our grateful thanks and appreciation to Mr. Horne for his helpful advice and cooperation throughout the entire year. Willis V. Nash Page Thirty-seven o FIFTH FORM During the past school year, the Sophomore Class has taken a very prominent part in all school activities. In the fall we missed four men. Gillette. Nesbit. Pence and Pillsbury. but three new members. Hallowell. Knoblauch and Peet. took their places. Later in the year Jewett joined our ranks. Serving as class officers were: Walker, president: Chute, vice-president: and Rizer. treasurer. Mr. Cleveland kindly consented to act as class advisor. In the fall the class made a creditable showing on the football field. Chute and Walker made the varsity, while ten men, Alder. Enkema. Gamble. Hallowell. Jewett. McCabe. Nash. Peet, Rizer, and Snyder were on the second team. With the class showing such interest in football, it should be well represented on the teams in the next two years. The next season was an extremely busy one with hockey, swimming and dramatics occupying our attention. Eight men. Bailey. Booraem. Chute. Knoblauch. McCabe. Robinson, Snyder, and Walker, went out for hockey, five of them earning their letters. The three men representing the class in swimming proved to be invaluable to the team. They were Morriss. Rizer and Enkema. Eleven men, from which number the main parts were taken in every play, made dramatics. They were Booraem. Chute. Gamble. Nash. Hallowell. McCabe. Olson, Rizer. Robinson. Wales and Walker. This year the Sophomore Class has had no compulsory public speaking as in former years, but when the call came for entrants into the Fifth Form Declamation Contest names were not lacking, several withdrawing because of too much school work. The remaining list was Plant, Rizer, Robinson. Booraem, Gamble and Wales. After a very close contest, in which the judges took twenty minutes to determine the winner. Rizer was awarded first place with honorable mention going to Plant. While on the subject of public speaking, it might be well to mention the fact that Charles Gamble was on the debating team. Though the team lost the debate, he did credit to the class. Although there is only one Fifth Former, Frank Plant, on the Publications Board this year, many of the fellows have greatly helped out by getting ads. We hope that next year we, as Juniors, will support the publication one hundred per cent. Throughout the year. Mr. Cleveland, our class advisor, at different times has called together the representatives of the class and offered us very helpful suggestions for the betterment of the class. We take this opportunity to thank him for his extremely valuable attention. Walter Walker President Page Thirty-eight Knoblauch Robinson Abler Nash, F.

Dairy tuple McLanc Me Knight Atwood Fitz Gerald Page I'hirty-nine THE FOURTH FORM When we came back to school last fall we found four new boys in our class, but we were sorry to lose four of our former members. The new boys were: Pat Duffy, A1 Williams. John Hornburg. Tom Cooper. We lost Bill Richardson who left us to go to Shattuck. Bill Lafean who is going to the Chicago Latin School, Grosvenor Van Dusen and K. Steiner who stayed in the Third Form. Early in the year we had the class elections. The following were elected officers: Henry McKnight. president: George Atwood, vice-president: and John McLane. secretary and treasurer. In the spring of 1927 John Dalrymple was elected to the Council and he has represented the class on that organization throughout the year. In the fall most of the class went out for football. Hornburg was on the second team and Fitz Gerald. McLane. Atkinson. Dalrymple and McKnight made their letters on the coefficient teams. During the winter term the class took part in the various activities. In dramatics we were represented by two members. Williams and Bovey who played the part of a young married couple. Bovey being the young wife and Williams her husband. Fitz Gerald represented us on the hockey team and Atkinson made his letter on the swimming team. Bovey was on the choir and he helped make it a big success. Spring found our class taking part in baseball, tennis, and fencing. McLane is a strong candidate for the baseball team while several other members of the class are on the squad. Several are trying for tennis. Chief among these are Fitz Gerald. Booraem. Dalrymple, Bosard, and George Steiner. Booraem and Duffy tried a hand at fencing and completed the season without mishap. Throughout the year the Fourth Form has led the school in scholarship. There are always several boys from our Form on the honor roll and our class average is always the highest in the school. Those who consistently get honor marks are Bovey. who usually leads the school. Dalrymple. Atwood. Booraem and Robertson. We feel that the success of the class lies largely in the hands of Mr. Coulter, who has been our class advisor throughout the year, and we take this opportunity to thank him. Hf.nry McKnight President Page Forty THE THIRD FORM When the Class came back last fall we found two boys missing. They were: James Gummere and Blair Jenness. But we also found several names added to our list of class members. These boys were: George Lauritzen. Harold Atkinson. Harry Duffy, Peter Stroud. Frank Jewett, Kingsley Gycr, McKivor Steiner. Grosvenor Van Dusen and Albert Kenyon. Stroud left us about the end of the fall term. Sam Nickerson also left at this time. Russell Cook joined the class at the beginning of the winter team, but left almost immediately. In sports our class stood very high. Howard. Wright. Savage. Van Dusen and Dyer made their letters on the “A team. Bull was captain of B” team, and those who made letters on his team were Hewitt. Crosby and Harris. The Lower School hockey team was composed entirely of Third Formers. Men winning places on the team were Captain Howard. Savage. Bull. Wright. Lauritzen and Cash. In baseball. Howard and Wright arc trying out for the varsity, while Duffy, Bull and Atkinson are the mainstays of the B'’ team. Our honor roll is the smallest this year than any year previous. Frank Jewett and Savage were on it most consistently. Jewett is a new boy and has been on the honor roll every month this year. We wish to extend to Mr. Owen our hearty appreciation for what he has done for us. He has had the largest class in the school to advise and in token of this we tender to him our most sincere thanks. Ben Wright President THE SECOND FORM In our opinion the Class of 1933 has had a very successful year. At the beginning of the year we found a number of hew boys in our class. These were: Gordon Gooch. Harvey Mack. Wayne MacFarlane, Wells Pierson, Charles Meech. Bill Waters and Fred Quest. During the course of the year Harvey Mack and Fred Pratt dropped back to the First Form. We were very sorry of this but we were glad to have Pete Stroud come back to our class from the Third Form. We feel that we have been very well represented in sports this year, especially in football. Our class was quite well sprinkled throughout the three squads, having one member on “A squad, about eight on C” squad and the rest on “B. Quite a few of our class made the “B” team, chief among whom were Snyder and MacFarlane. 'C” team was made up mostly of Second Formers. In hockey we did not ■ Page Forty-two have any boys on the first team but the second team was made up almost entirely of Second Formers. They played two games with S. P. A., winning one and tying the other. Toward the last of the season the two divisions of our class had a hockey game, which A division won by a score of 1-0. Captain Brooks scoring the only goal. We have high hopes for an extremely successful baseball season. We feel that we have stood very high in scholarship this year, with Neil Melone leading the school. There have been many small parties this year and a large hockey party given by Sam Wakefield at the Arena. It was a fine party and everyone had a very good time. In public speaking we were leading in the Lower School, being one point ahead of the Third Form. The class officers were Norman Newhall. president: Tom Snyder, vice-president: Tom Dillon, secretary and treasurer. We take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Hodgkinson. our class advisor, for the interest he has shown in the class and for all that he has done for it. The First Form flourished fairly well this year, though the year was somewhat uneventful, as we did not have any class teams. Almost all of the class tried out for the coefficient teams. In football Joseph Clifford made the “B” team, while John Harrison. Robert Stimson. Wales Kibbey. Willis Rollins. Billy Hunt and Peter Edmonds made the “C” team. Wilkes Covey made the second team in hockey. Jack McCann. Joseph Clifford. Frank Leslie and William Chelgren made the choir. Joseph Clifford was the only boy of the class to make the first honor roll. Some of the boys were held off of the honor roll by only one subject. Though our class ranked last in public speaking, it did very well against the more experienced members of the Upper Forms. Tom Wagner was the only new member to come into our class at the beginning of the year. Later on, however. John Connell. Fred Pratt and Harvey Mack entered. As always, we are very glad to have these new members, but we are equally sorry to have Jay Martin and John La Fean leave. During the winter term the class was entertained at three fine parties, given by John Harrison. John Hedback and Jack McCann. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Geiser for his kind and helpful advice as class advisor. Norman Newhall President FIRST FORM Jack S. Winston President Page Forty-three Page Forty-four ALUMNI ALUMNI On Friday, May 4. 1928, the annual meeting and dinner of the Blake School Alumni Association was held at the school. The Alumni were especially invited during the afternoon when the school team entertained St. Paul Academy on the Blake baseball diamond. The ourcome of the game was unfortunate for Blake. St. Paul Academy won by a score of 7 to 3. After the game, the Alumni were given an opportunity to inspect the additions to the school's equipment which had been made since the previous meeting. T hese improvements included the new Chapel, the outdoor gymnasium which had been erected during the summer, and the spacious library and reading room which occupies the space formerly used as the Chapel. The new locker and shower equipment also received much favorable comment from the alumni. At six-thirty the dinner was served in the school dinirg room and during the meal the alumni were entertained by the undergraduate glee club. After dinner, the association was formally called to order for a business session by President Franklin Crosby. 18. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. There was some discussion of the Alumni Endowment Fund drive which is progressing slowly. It was the consensus of the meeting, however, to continue along present lines without change. A nominating committee composed of John Gregg. 14. Fred Boutelle. 1 3. and Paul Clifford. 18. submitted the following to be the Association s officers for the ensuing year: John T. Baxter. '21 to be president Vincent McLane, ' 1 6 to be vice president A. C. Regan, 17 to be secretary and treasurer It was moved and carried that the secretary be instructed to cast a unanimous ballot for these men. The meeting then adjourned to the reading room where informal discussion was continued around a hearth fire. At this session. Mr. Horne told of his eastern trip during the spring term at which time he inspected the athletic equipment of a great many leading prep schools. It was a source of satisfaction to learn that Blake may take rank with the best in this respect. A discussion was held of the so-called Co-efficient system under which the athletic activities of the boys are conducted. Page Forty-six Mr. Alder was then called upon and gave an unusually fine talk on the present development of the school and particularly stressed the part which the Alumni should play. After the singing of High Above the Rolling Country. ' the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted. Arthur C. Regan. 17 Secretary-T reasurer Among those present at the meeting and dinner were: Albert H. Crosby Phillip Pillsbury Alfred D. Lindley Robert N. McCaull John T.

Mr. Aldrr Chute Dcvancy THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council this year has carried on with the policy inaugurated several years ago of having this organization act not as a disciplinary body but rather as a medium between the student body and Mr. Alder and the faculty. Among the things accomplished by the Council, the clearing up the three o’clock period probably is of the greatest importance. The student body found that this period, which was supposed to be used for special help, was being employed for extra hours in certain subjects and the real value of it was being lost. The faculty also agreed that very little opportunity was offered to those who needed additional aid in their studies. After some deliberation an agreement was reached and it has proved to be more successful than before. This year it was felt that minutes ought to be taken of the meetings so that in case of any misunderstanding, they could be referred to. The Council decided that the custom, formerly in practice, of a different ring for each class was a poor one and that a standard school ring ought to be adopted. This was put to a vote before the school and they unanimously elected to put the Council in charge of this matter. An attractive ring was chosen and this is to be procured by the Seniors each year. It was through the efforts of the Council that the Homecoming Day and Rochester trip arrangements were made. The plan adopted last year of having the president of the Council preside over the Founders' Day. Christmas, and Easter exercises was continued this year and the School supported this plan very well. On April 27 the spring dance was given under the auspices of the Council and proved to be one of the most colorful and successful dances held in years. This is the first time that this body has sponsored such an affair and the splendid cooperation of the school made it a favorable undertaking. The Council felt that some note of appreciation ought to be shown to the parents and the trustees of the school for making possible the wonderful improvements at Blake this year. A letter was written to the trustees which would represent the gratitude of the student body for all that has been done in their behalf. During the latter part of the year a thorough survey was taken of the smoking question in other country day schools and it was found that Blake has taken the right stand on this matter as our policy agrees with the great majority of the other schools. Thus, in this article. I have endeavored to sum up the achievements of the Council and we earnestly hope that next year's organization will carry on with our efforts to benefit our Alma Mater.

Macnie THE BLAKE UNION. 1927-28 With a precedent established by last year's Union from which to model its course of action this year, the Union was able to strike its stride early in the season, with none of the delay usually attendant on the first meetings. Starting with the first gathering in September, and continuing throughout the entire year, the attendance was exceptionally high, the programs were invariably well arranged and interesting. and the discussions in each meeting maintained a consistently high standard. Mr. Lamb, serving his second year as the Union s advisor, continued to contribute the same excellent advice and kindly help that was characteristic of his initial year as advisor. 'The custom of inviting a different faculty member to each meeting was again followed. and the Union gained many valuable opinions from this pleasant practice. The meetings opened with a dinner in the dining room of the Country School, and with the completion of this, the members adjourned to the senior room, where the meeting proper was conducted. The programs were made up of a discussion of the business on hand, several talks, delivered by members, on topics of national importance, and finally, an open forum, in which subjects having to do with the School were brought up and extensively, and often hotly, discussed. During this part of the evening's program the faculty members were allowed to air their opinions, which, though obviously an effort for the faculty, was inevitably a source of interest and amusement to the Union. Although the majority of the meetings followed this plan, during the spring term one meeting, the last gathering of the year, was devoted to the traditional reading of the Senior papers. As a fitting climax to the Union year, the annual Union banquet was held late in the spring term, and put the finishing touches on a season that every member could well call successful from every angle. T he Union realizes and appreciates the growing trust and confidence that the faculty and the school at large has placed in it this past year, and we feel sure that, after a long period of experiment and trial, it has finally emerged, a body with a definite aim and a definite place in the life of Blake School.

Its object is the encouragement and reward of high attainment on the part of students in secondary schools, and the means it employs to accomplish this object are similar to those used by the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Chapters have been established in a number of the outstanding preparatory schools in the East and Blake deems it an honor to be admitted into so worthy an organization as this. On February 12. 1927. Blake was voted in at the meeting of the General Convention of the Society. In February of this year we received notice that we could go back through the classes to the beginning of the school and bestow the honor of being a member on those who would have received it had the Society been established at that time. Those students who have had an honor record up to the time of their election and stand in the first fifth of the class are elected by the chapter. HONORARY MEMBERS Charles C. Bovcy Franklin M.

In the Lower School training is obtained by speaking poems from memory before the Lower School. Mr. Coulter directs this activity, assisted by Mr. Edwards. Thus the foundations for future brilliancy are laid at an early date, and the hated ordeal becomes an integral part of school life. In the Fourth and Fifth Forms a slightly different form of procedure is employed. Here, instead of poems, short prose are declaimed, the audience consisting of the Fourth and Fifth Forms. Ability in prose declamation is thus gained. A feature of these years is the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, at which remarkable talent is displayed. In the Sixth Form there is still further advance, and the student is considered far enough along to engage in debates. These debates are held in the presence of the Upper School and are judged usually by Page Fifty-six three of the students. These debates are generally very well done, preparing the student for activities to come, especially the St. Paul debate. In the Senior year the form of public speaking used is extemporaneous talks. These are held in the chapel in the morning after the service, with the entire school present. These talks give experience in the way of getting on one's feet and talking with no definite speech prepared beforehand. The Senior year also is marked by the Williams Theme Contest, which, although primarily an essay contest, still holds the stage as a speaking event besides. Themes are written in preparation for it by members of the Senior Class, and those five or six writing the best arc allowed to read them at the contest. Probably the most important public speaking event of the year, and one which is attached to no particular form, is the annual St. Paul debate. This event is open to any member of the Upper School who cares to try for it. It is prepared for during the winter term, and is held usually near the conclusion of this term. The team is selected in January, and then follow weeks of frenzied preparation for the big event, which alternates in location from St. Paul to Blake. This activity is one of the most important in preparation for future life, and the more students that turn out for it. the better it will be for them, and the more it will redound to the credit of the school. In connection with debating, the Strieker Cup has been presented to the School, and the member of the Blake debating team who. in the opinion of the judges, has performed best for the school, has his name engraved upon the cup. This year the honor was awarded to Robert Macnie. The public speaking season of the year 1927-28 was markedly successful, with one exception. That was the Saint Paul debate. The Fifth Form speaking was well conducted, as evidenced by the splendid speeches heard at the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, which was held on March twenty-third and was won by Dean Rizer. The Sixth Form evidently spent much time and labor on their speaking, as was shown by the fine quality of their debates. Apparently the Seniors used great care in preparation of their extemporaneous speeches, as anyone who has heard one of them can tell you. The Williams Theme Contest was very successful, being won by John Harvey on the nineteenth of January. I he debating team, composed of Macnie. Lawrence. Gamble and Crosby, worked long and hard upon their subject, but we are sorry to say that Saint Paul defeated them in the debate, which was held on March ninth. The Thorpe Cup Contest was very excellent, being held on the eighteenth, and was won by Leon Warner. So. on the whole, we have had a successful year. If the students only realized how great the benefits of these activities are in future life, they would be even more enthusiastic over them. Page Fitly-seven THE CHOIR The choir this year has enjoyed an unusually successful season. Under the able guidance of Mr. Geiser this organization has contributed much to school life. It has helped school singing greatly by leading the morning hymns and glorias, by presenting new hymns and glorias for the student body to learn, and by rendering music at school functions. The choir should be congratulated on its accomplishments and Mr. Geiser can well be proud of what he has done with this body and with school music in general. Several days after the opening of school Mr. Geiser announced tryouts for the choir, as has been the custom. In a few days the choir was organized and weekly practices were begun. Two new glorias and several new hymns were presented before many months had elapsed. In the Thanksgiving program the choir offered an old Dutch hymn. The Christmas program saw the choir in the role of Christmas carolers, with Sam Wakefield. Lamar Hallowell and Hermann Strachauer as soloists. In the middle of the winter term the parents' and teachers’ dinner was given at the Rendezvous d'Esler and the choir rendered a program of college songs during the affair, which was greatly enjoyed. The highlight of the season, however, was the presentation, in two-part singing, of a cantata. “The Thorn-Crowned King.” in the Easter program. This showed the tremendous amount of work done by both the choir and by Mr. Geiser, for. inasmuch as few members of the choir knew much about harmony when rehearsals were begun, the Cantata went off very smoothly. We hope that, looking back on the year that has just gone by. we can chuckle at the choir's proud claim of the most successful season thus far in its history and say: “Look at the choir now. But this will come only by whole-hearted cooperation on the part of the student body. It is to be regretted that more interest was not shown this year but we feel confident that the choir's record will insure great success next year.

Hollcrn THE BLAKE SCHOOL PLAYS, 1928 T he Business Women’s Club was. on February 4. the scene of the thirteenth annual presentation of three one-act plays by the Blake School Dramatics Association. The plays “Young America. by Ballard and Franklin. “The Hand of Siva. by Hecht and Goodman, and Gilbert Emory’s “Thank You Doctor were ably coached by Mr. Richard C. Lindsay, and were exceptionally well acted by the Blake boys. The scene for Young America was laid in juvenile court, where Art Simpson was arraigned for chicken stealing. Lamar Hallowed, in the role of Nutty Beemer. a friend of the alleged thief, appeared before the Judge and soon won the audience by his humorous sarcasm while testifying as to the integrity of his friend. The action of the play, although rather slow due to long and weighty speeches by the Judge, was in the main smooth, and did not lack for interest at any time. “The Hand of Siva. the second play, was a tragedy taking place in the British army in India. The plot centered around the mysterious loss and recovery of several government documents and the suspicious bearing of Major Wellington, who appeared on the scene of the theft in a startling manner. The climax of the play was reached when Kubla Khan, an army orderly, recognized Wellington as a German spy and shot him. thereby clearing up the mystery. Robert Rizer as Major Wellington deserved special mention in his portrayal of the character. The lighting effects gained in this part of the program added much effectiveness to the theme. The third play, a farce by Gilbert Emory, carried the audience from the weird atmosphere of India found in the previous act to the office of an alienist in an American city. The action centers around the efforts of a certain Mrs. Lester to steal a pearl necklace by having it delivered to the office of a prominent alienist, then having the doctor bound up by the messenger as a crazy brother of hers, while she departs with the necklace. Lyman Wakefield, playing Mrs. Lester, succeeded in portraying this difficult feminine part very successfully. Raymond Olson as a nurse was less impressive than he was last year as a debutante, but he is. nevertheless, very satisfactory as a feminine impersonator. The detective, feigning insanity, was a character we should like to have seen more of. The dramatics performance this year was characterized by several changes in the management. The fine new auditorium selected for the presentation was a pleasant change from the place that has been used for the past few years. 'I he fact that the ushers wore Tuxedos added to the appearance of the hall, which had been decorated with plants and flowers by the Mothers’ Club. Between the second and third plays a moving picture of fall and winter sports at school was given. The presentation of this made the scene-shifting interval seem unusually short, and was very well received by the audience. 3 Page Sixty-one PROGRAM I—YOUNG AMERICA Ballard and Franklin Characters Jack Doray Edith Doray Judge of Juvenile Court Nutty Beemer Art Simpson Attendant Albert Williams John Bovey Morden McCabe Lamar Hallowell Martin Wales Frederick Nash Time—The Present.

All the meetings were well attended, and we are willing to wager that they were keenly enjoyed by everyone there. As the years go by the meetings seem to improve both in the stories that are read and in the spirit shown by the members. The Short Story Club, we believe, before long will see a season marked by a hundred per cent attendance throughout the Winter Term. The refreshments served this year were not so elaborate as those last year, a circumstance for which the mothers deserve congratulations. With all respect and gratitude to the mothers who entertained us last year, we believe they fed us too well. The food this year was perfectly sensible, and for that reason, was greatly enjoyed. As has been the custom. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland entertained us at the first meeting on January 15. Here the season was begun with The Man Who Was. by Rudyard Kipling, and A Blackjack Bargainer. by O. Henry. On January 29 Willis Nash invited the Club to his home, where Mr. Cleveland read The Leaser, by Hamlin Garland. Bamboozling Mr. Gascoigne, by E. Philips Oppenheim. and Bringing The Bride to Yellow Sky. by Stephen Crane. Hermann Strachauer’s house was the next place of meeting, the stories read being The Star-Spangled Banner, by Peter B. Kyne. and Bartlett's Long. Long Ago. Two weeks later, on February 26. The Two-Gun Man. by Stewart Edward White, and The Most Dangerous Game, by Connell, were read by Mr. Cleveland at William Peel's. At the last meeting, on the eleventh of March. Robert Macnie had the Club at his home. Mr. Cleveland brought the season to a close with Beyond the Cross, by David Burnet, and one of Arthur Somers Roche’s crook stories. The Dummy Chucker. There were three factors that have contributed to the success of the Short Story Club this year: The hospitality of the mothers and the boys at whose houses we met. Mr. Cleveland’s selection and reading of the stories, and the spirit of cooperation of the members themselves. In conclusion, we wish to express our gratitude to those who so graciously entertained us and to Mr. Cleveland, who chose and read the stories, and we hope that the interest shown by the Seniors and Juniors will increase in coming years.

Macnie Photographic Editor Lyman w. Wakefield Business Manager Charles D. Doerr Literary Editor John H. Harvey Assistant to Editor Frank w. Plant faculty Advisor P. C. Cleveland Pane Sixty-six O; For the past few years the Torch and Call o' Pan Boards, figuratively speaking, have been cutting each other's throats in an endeavor to secure ads for their respective publications. There had been suggestions that the two boards be combined so as to do away with this evil. It was not until last Spring, however, that these suggestions were acted upon. Accordingly, the Publications Board was created. This board was to take over the publication of the Torch and the Call o' Pan. The ads were to be solicited for both publications at once. Thus cooperation would be established. It was decided that the Torch be published five times yearly, while the Call o’ Pan remain intact. Under this plan the new Board has worked well. A new cover was originated for the Torch, one of brown paper with a ripple finish, with The Torch in large letters and below it the school seal. The Board decided on one printer to print both publications: the firm of Harrison ft Smith, who for many years had published the Call o’ Pan. By beginning work early we were able to bring out the first issue of the Torch on November 1 1. This was on Homecoming Day. and for that reason it was called the Homecoming Number. The evening of the Christmas Dance the Christmas Number was brought out. In the first two numbers pictures of former Blake students appeared, and in the Christmas issue we printed a full-page picture of the Football Team. Also, in this same issue, the Book 'I alk department, which had lain dormant through the Commencement Number and the Homecoming Number of 1927, was revived. It has since continued an important part of the Literary Department. In the next issue, the Winter Number, the Alumni Department was dropped, due to the failure of any of the Alumni to subscribe. The Humor Section grew and throve, with numerous bits of original humor composed by the Board. The Advertising Department, headed by Charles Doerr. succeeded in securing enough ads to see us through the season quite comfortably. Owing to the kind cooperation of Messrs. Westmark and Hodgkinson. an ingenious ad thermometer was installed in the Trophy Room, which aroused much interest and aided greatly in the Publications Board advertising campaign. Altogether, the Publications Board can safely say it has had a successful season. We have gotten out the Torches fairly regularly. We have done our best to produce a good Call o’ Pan. with a fair amount of success, we believe. We look to next year’s board to continue with the good work. We herewith wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Cleveland for the interest he has shown and for the valuable advice he has given. We also thank all our advertisers and those of the Faculty and Student Body who have helped us either directly or indirectly.

Meetings were carried out in a businesslike manner, as has been done in previous years. T he entire school makes up the Athletic Association and it is its duty to vote on or to criticize the names suggested by the Athletic Association Advisory Board for major and minor letters as well as for managerships. Credit is to be given to the Dramatic Association, as they aided in sending the baseball team to Milwaukee. The sincere thanks of the entire School go to Mr. Horne for his interest and to Mr. Cleveland for collecting the funds of the Association.

Some maintain that a team must win all its games to claim a successful season, while others disregard scores entirely and consider only the spirit and team-play developed. Viewed from either of these angles, or any other, the 1927 season was a success. The team won three games and dropped two. but the traditional Blake fight never failed the team in any of its games, whether they came out on the long or the short end of the final score. As has been the custom in former years, pre-season practice was started a week before school opened, with “Mike Horne at the helm and Banty” Coulter again coaching the seconds. The nucleus of veterans around which Mike” built the team was comparatively small, but their experience offset their lack of numbers. In the back-field. Captain Devaney, Nash and Chute held down the half-back and full-back berths, while Van Dusen at end and McRae and Warner at the tackles returned to bolster the line. Added to these was a wealth of 1926 reserve material and several new prospects to make the outlook decidedly rosy. During the early practice and in the few weeks preceding the opening tilt with Hopkins, Coach Horne got a line on all the available material and gave a tentative varsity line-up the first set of signals. “Banty.” no less active, assembled and sorted his second-string cohorts, and with them supplied the first team with several stiff scrimmages. It may be of interest to note here that all the games this year were played on our own field. The first game saw Hopkins opposing the School team. Both outfits were pointing for a win. inasmuch as their last meeting had resulted in a scoreless tie. Although the visitors scored early on a Blake fumble. Blake came back strong and drove through them for two touchdowns and a victory by a 1 2 to 6 count. In this game Mike uncovered several defects and several good features, and the next few weeks were spent in weeding out the undesirables and polishing up the signals and team-work for the Roosevelt game. The Roosevelt contest, won by Blake 10-7. saw the varsity at its best form of the whole season. Roosevelt scored first, playing straight football, and in the second half Blake counted to tie the score at 7-all. Late in the final quarter. Devaney booted the drop-kick that gave us a three point margin of victory. The win over Roosevelt, one of the best of the city teams, was deserved, and it served to strengthen the team's morale and give them the confidence they needed. Page Seventy-seven St. Thomas, the parochial champions of the Northwest, brought a speedy, clever outfit to Blake for the third game on the schedule. The St. Thomas reserves numbered upwards of fifty men. and they lined one entire side of the playing field. Ideal football weather brought out a large crowd, and interest ran high as the two teams lined up for the opening whistle. The play was about even during the first quarter, but early in the second period the visitors scored on a series of line plunges and end runs. In the closing minutes of this same period. Chute broke through the St. Thomas line and twisted thirty yards to a touchdown, and the half ended with the score tied at 7-all. On a perfectly executed hidden pass St. Thomas scored the winning touchdown late in the third quarter. In the closing minutes Blake threatened the St. Thomas goal several times but lacked the scoring punch. The varsity put up a great fight, but the parochial champions were too good for them. Pillsbury. smarting from their defeat at our hands last year, came up from Owatonna for the next game, and were turned back on the short end of a 1 2 to 0 score. The field was slow and rain fell during part of the game, but the School team played straight football, and easily conquered their less experienced adversaries. On Armistice Day the final game of the 1927 season was played with St. Paul Academy, our oldest rivals. They presented the strongest line-up they have had in years, and sad to relate, outsmarted the School team to the tune of 1 2 to 0. 'This defeat was harder to take than the St. Thomas set-back because of the tradition connected with it, but St. Paul deserved a win and is to be congratulated on their team. Throughout the season. “Mike Horne coached the team with his characteristic shrewdness and drive, and to him the team owed its success. Banty Coulter, always cheerful, always ready to help whenever he could, was an invaluable aid in his capacity of assistant coach, and we feel that with them back next year, and with Bill Nash captaining the team. Blake's prospects for another good season are assured. Page Seventy-eight Page Seventy-nine _ j- 5 a jtpa-nTe THE BENCH + l« tCcf t’enCM Me RAC t. N THE !

T he unusually late spring prevented any outdoor practice of consequence until a day or two before the first game. Considerable headway was made indoors, however, particularly in batting and in developing pitchers. The graduation of Christian and Moles, our battery mainstays for the last two years, left a big hole to fill. Chute, formerly a catcher in the Lower School, had done some work in the box last season, and had practiced during the summer. With McRae, an outfielder on the team of last year, he worked out daily with Captain Hollern behind the bat. and .showed noteworthy improvement over last year s form. Both he and McRae showed real promise as pitchers, handicapped, however. by a tendency towards wildness, which should be overcome by the experience of this season. Captain Hollern. first used as a catcher, has recently been converted to a pitcher, acquitting himself in fine shape in his first game in the box. with Shattuck. Rogers, a newcomer to Blake's baseball, was tried out as a pitcher at first, but went behind the bat when Hollern shifted to his new position. A chronic case of sore arm has prevented Devaney from any mound duty, though his work in the Roosevelt and Hopkins games shows he has real ability as a pitcher. The infield had one vacancy, second base, as the season began. McLane showed good form in the early practice, and was given the job after performing well in the opening games. First base, shortstop. and third base remained filled down by the same players that held them down last year—Devaney. Cook and Robinson. The outfield positiors have, so far. been taken care of by Warner. Doerr, Van Dusen. McRae and Wright. McRae's fielding has been outstanding. and he has secured his position in center field. Wright, a Third Former, has shown the batting ability necessary in an outfielder, and is sure to become a fixture at right or left field. At present it is doubtful who of the remaining three men will earn a steady outfield position. In the first game, with Roosevelt, the team hit well, but fielded poorly, and lost. 1 3 to 6. In the second game. St. Thomas beat us 12 to 0. our defeat being due mainly to our inability to hit McCarter, the rival pitcher. In the same week, the team won a close game from Hopkins, who showed unexpected strength. The Shattuck game, the following week, marked Captain Hollern’s debut as a pitcher. His pitching was very satisfactory, and the team played well behind him, displaying the best form of the season. Though the record of the team is far from impressive, there has been definite improvement, and it is safe to say that in the coming games with St. Paul and Milwaukee, the team has a very good chance to win. Page Eighty -five BASEBALL Page Eighty-six Mr. Hosanko Walker. S. Van Dusen Enkema Rizcr, D. Morriss Warner Thomas Rizcr, R. Atkinson SWIMMING The 1928 swimming season, while not so successful as its predecessor, was very satisfactory. The team was slow in rounding into form, but throughout the year the spirit was better than ever before and everyone worked very hard and trained faithfully. Three victories and as many defeats is the record of the team. Blake bowed to West, St. Paul Central, and the championship Shattuck team. They defeated South once and Rochester twice. Captain Guy Thomas, swimming his fourth year on the team, led the scorers for the fourth year also. He scored 53 points. Guy took care of the 40-yard dash, the 220-yard freestyle, and swam as anchor man on the relay team. Captain Thomas He was defeated only once in the 40-yard Page Eighty-eight dash, and although he was defeated several times in the 220-yard dash, he succeeded in breaking the School record for this event. It might be mentioned that out of 25 forty-yard dashes in four years he has only been beaten five times. Captain-elect Robert Rizer was second among the scorers with 50 points. Bob performed admirably in the breast stroke, considering that he wasx formerly a back stroke swimmer. Bob will bear close watching next season. Manager Steve Walker also swam the breast stroke and could always be depended upon to place. The breast stroke was the team’s strongest event. Leon Warner, also swimming for the fourth year on the team, was third in scoring with 33 4 points. Leon swam the 40- and 100-yard dashes and was on the relay team. He made a new School record in the 100-yard dash, swimming it in 1 :04-3 5. and was always close on the heels of the winner in every race. The back stroke was very capably taken care of by Herb Morriss. This youth improved daily and is sure to fill the gap left by the departure of Carl Pierson. Herb won 25 points and next season is sure to be close on the heels of the state's best. The diving was taken care of by Bob Rizer and Fred Atkinson, the youngest member of the team. Both worked very hard and filled the gap which has always appeared in this event. Atkinson was perhaps the most diligent worker on the squad. Among the personnel of the team must be mentioned our coach. Mr. Bosanko. It was he who was always obtaining privileges for the team, cheering them up in their darkest moments, and who grieved the most at their defeats. Every member of the squad considers him not only a very good advisor for the team, but a friend and confidant, which is much more important. It was he who made the trip to Rochester such a huge success and also treated to dinner at the St. Paul Hotel after the Rizer Brothers and Thomas” had been defeated by St. Paul Central. These two events were among the highlights of the season and were greatly enjoyed by all who participated. The outlook for next season is very bright. Guy Thomas will be greatly missed, as will Leon Warner, but all the rest of the team will be back to sink or win for Blake. Here’s hoping that they win. and under Captain Rizer the chances are that they will. Guy Thomas Captain Page Eighty-nine Snyder Robinson Mr. Coulter Chute FitzGerald Walker Bailey Wakefield Hollcm Schermerhorn Cook Doerr THE HOCKEY SEASON OF 1928 Captain Cook The hockey season could well be called a successful one, in that Blake defeated her two greatest rivals after going through a rather poor season up to that time. Both St. Paul Academy and Shat-tuck had beaten Blake in the first half of the schedule but we made up for it by trimming them later. This year Banty Coulter started out with practically his entire last year's team, with the exception of Savage and Christian. Johnny Snyder, who worked as an understudy to Chris last year, took care of the nets in fine shape this season and much credit is due to him for clever and calm playing throughout all the games. No shot seemed to be too hard for him and he often held off the attack of his somewhat older adversaries single-handed. Captain Cook. Page Ninety who was a star last year, returned to us this year with much to be expected from him. He fulfilled all expectations by leading his team to a successful season and displaying speed and good headwork. Despite the fact that he was laid up during the first of the games he played almost the full time every game and exerted his whole efforts all the time. Captain-elect Schermerhorn. who started the season at wing and was moved back to defence later, played hard in every game, and his long shots from the wing caught many a goal guard unawares. The season started on the twenty-third of January with a game with West, last year’s champions, which resulted in a 4-0 victory for the high school team. The Washburn team, this year’s city champions, were defeated 3-2 in an overtime period at the new field house. On the twenty-eighth of the month the squad journeyed down to Faribault where the Shattuck team administered our second defeat by the score of 4-0. During the middle of the next week Blake beat South High School in a closely contested game by 1 -0. St. Paul Academy was the next on the schedule and they conquered us by a 5-1 score. Central High School managed to win by 2-1 but they were fortunate to get away with it. for Blake had a victory or at least a tie just within their grasp. Then followed the two best games of the year, in which both the Academy and Shattuck were defeated by a 3-2 count. It might be noticed that the four games that Blake won were played in the new field house and were drawn out to the overtime period before victory was acquired. This well displayed the fact that the team would fight on to the end and that they were able to last the entire game and come back with enough punch to push over the winning talley in the extra time. Too much praise cannot be showered on Coach Coulter for his tireless efforts to build up a winning team for Blake. He was always at every practice and he more than once came limping in after getting a crack across the shins or being spilled by some member of his team. The defense this year was very strong, with Walker and Schermerhorn carrying the brunt of the attack. Hollern’s ever watchful eye was the leading factor in a number of Blake's scores. Captain Cook. Hollcrn and Doerr will be lost to next year’s team, but the material brought to light this year both on the Upper School and the Lower School teams ought to bring to Blake a cham-Coach Coulter pionship in hockey next year. Page Stneiy-one TENNIS 1928 In the last two years tennis at Blake has been growing in importance. Last year our team met defeat quite regularly. This can perhaps be accounted for by the lack of interest in tennis. George Christian and John Savage, both good players, preferred to play baseball. This year, however, the team will get letters and this fact has encouraged many others to try out for the team. An added encouragement is the condition of the courts which have been put into fine shape. As soon as the snow was off the ground, those interested in tennis began to roll the courts until now we have courts that we can be proud of. Five new nets and new tapes complete our improvements. This year an elimination tournament will be held which anyone may enter. Last year a similar tournament was won by John Savage with Ed Schermerhorn. runner-up. The line-up of this year's tennis team is the same as last year’s. Our schedule so far is as follows: May 1, Shattuck at Blake May 11. St. Paul Academy at Blake May 26. Milwaukee at Milwaukee May 30, Shattuck at Shattuck A meet with Pillsbury Academy may also be arranged. To date of writing we have played only Shattuck. Although we lost all matches, we are not at all discouraged because Shattuck has always had a strong team. I he playing was steady in all matches and the closeness of the sets, some running up to 8-6 and 9-7. showed that Shattuck had to work to win. In the singles Captain King of Shattuck defeated Schermerhorn 8-6. 6-1, and Charles of Shattuck defeated Crosby 6-2. 6-2. Plant lost the first set to his opponent Ogelvie 4-6, took the next set 6-3 but was again defeated in the last set 6-1. Wall-ingsford of Shattuck won the first two sets over Bailey 6-0. 6-1. In the doubles Schermerhorn and Crosby lost to Weed and Charles 7-9. 3-6. Lentz and King of Shattuck won from Plant and Bailey 6-4. 9-7. Our other meets will probably be more successful because by that time the team will have had some practice. The doubles teams have an advantage in that they have played together for the last two years and thus their teamwork is very smooth. Next year is the year that our team will shine for all this year's letter men will be back. Eventually, tennis will be of just as great importance as any other minor sport if it keeps growing in popularity as it has in the past two years. Page Ninety-tu'o THE COEFFICIENT TEAMS The coefficient system, which was inaugurated last year and which took the place of the Lower School team, has proceeded very satisfactorily thus far from a Blake standpoint. Mr. Owen. Mr. Hodgkinson and Mr. Edwards, who were in charge of the “A. “B 3nd “C’’ teams, respectively, deserve much of the credit. On the opening day of the season, a large turnout reported to each coach, showing that the School was behind the new plan. In a short time the coaches had developed their charges into well-organized and efficient squads. Practice games with the second team and Hopkins helped to bring out the best of the material, and to prepare them for the coming contests with St. Paul. In the first of the contests, our men met their opponents on the Academy field. The “A team, after a hard struggle, managed to nose out a 14 to 6 victory. The playing was a bit ragged at first but the team stiffened to hold S. P. A. for downs within the shadow of its goal, and maintain its lead. Both touchdowns were the results of marches down the field but a scare was thrown into the Blake followers when Kelly of the Academy raced sixty yards for a touchdown. The 'B' team also triumphed with a score of 6 to 0. Blake had the edge throughout the game and deserved to win. In the third quarter. Bull, aided by splendid interference from Atkinson and Hewitt, ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Unluckily the C team did not fare as well, but put up a good fight against a heavier St. Paul line. The squads returned to practice with renewed vigor, having gained valuable experience in the first games and a knowledge of their opponents' style of play. They knew that the Academy would fight hard to even the score. Realizing this, the teams faced St. Paul for the second time with the determination to hold their lead. The “A team showed themselves masters of the situation throughout and won handily. 18-0. From the first whistle the Brown and White staged a driving offensive, allowing S. P. A. no chance to score. Bailey in particular played brilliantly. scoring the first touchdown after an unbroken march down the field. The lettermcn were: Captain Robinson. Fitz Gerald. Bailey. Dyer. Wales. Howard. Wright. Savage. McKnight. Morriss, Van Dusen and Plant. The B team held an edge over their rivals for the season by tying in their second game. 0-0. Several times Blake had first down with the goal to make, but failed to put the ball over. At one time Bcment of the Academy took the ball on his own three-yard line, ran toward the end. turned directly around and ran around the other end for a fifty-yard gain. This was the lorgest run of the game. The following composed the team: Captain Bull. Dalrymple. Atkinson. McLane. Crosby. MacFarlane. Dayton. Snyder. Hewitt. Clifford. Bellows. Sperzel and Harris. Page Ninety three C Ap . ---- Page Ninety-four FOUNDERS' DAY 1927 The anniversary of the founding of Blake School was observed this year on Wednesday, the twenty-third of November, by a service in the new chapel and by a field day competition between the Brown and White teams. Each year at the close of the football season the school is divided into two teams, the Browns and the Whites, one chosen by the football captain and the other by the captain-elect. From these two groups two football teams are selected to compete on Founders' Day. and are coached by the football lettermcn. Out of the remaining number, basketball and baseball teams are composed. Lower School boys are organized into indoor baseball, push-ball, and soccer teams. The period from football season to Founders' Day is spent in hard practice by both squads with a view to winning the contest, and the arrival of the day is awaited with great interest by the entire School. Charles Doerr. Flead of the School, opened the chapel service by introducing the first speaker. Mr. Franklin M. Crosby, who spoke on the new chapel and the generosity of Mr. C. C. Bovey in giving it to the School. The second speaker. Ben Woodworth, Blake Class of 1917. gave an account of the early history of the School dating from its founding by Mr. Blake, and its location on Hennepin Avenue, to the days of Ridgewood. and finally to the building of the Country School by a group of interested business men. Barney Clifford offered a somewhat different view of the early years, dealing chiefly with its activities during the years on Ridgewood Avenue. After this speaker the service was concluded by the singing of Alma Mater. The celebration then turned to the field house where the Browns met the Whites in a hard fought battle for points. The first event, a basketball game, was won by the Browns by a score of 1 4 to 7. The baseball game was won by the same team, the score 8 to 7. Next the Lower School pushball and soccer games were played, both won by the Browns. The traditional Brown-White football game, this time played on a snow-covered field, completed the victory of the Brown team when FitzGerald, recovering a fumble crossed the lire for a touchdown. Ramsden kicked the goal making the final score 7 to 0. Immediately after the game, in accordance with a custom established some years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Lamb received the mothers and fathers at West House for tea. As usual the Founders' Day celebration was concluded by a very pleasant dinner of fathers and the faculty. Page Ninety-six FOOTBALL BANQUET 1927 The annual football banquet was held in the dining room of the Country School on Thursday evening. December 15. 1927. The varsity, second. A and B coefficient teams and their five coaches were the guests of the Athletic Association at a very colorful affair. Banners and miniature footballs artistically decorated the room. Following a splendid dinner with music furnished by the school orchestra Fred Van Dusen. the president of the Athletic Association, welcomed the guests in behalf of the Association and introduced Mr. Alder as toastmaster for the evening. After a short speech by Mr. Alder, the annual election for the man to have his name engraved on the Williams Alumni Cup took place. This honor, which is voted by the members of the varsity team for the Senior who in their judgment has been the best all-round football player, was presented to Captain Devaney by Mr. Alder. During the election Mr. Alder read a clever alphabet poem on the different phases of football. “Mike’ Horne was then introduced and he spoke on the wonderful fight and loyalty of the varsity and of the value of the coefficient teams in developing strong teams for Blake in the future. Following this he awarded the varsity letters and congratulated the winners. Keys were given to those who had won their first major letter this year. Mr. Owen and Mr. Hodgkinson were then introduced as the coaches of the A and B coefficient teams. They gave out letters to their respective teams and spoke briefly about the opportunities offered by them later to the first squad and of their faithfulness throughout the season. To break the seriousness of the banquet Mr. Coulter read a humorous rhyme about the second team and its various members. He then gave out different curious presents to the members of the varsity for the fine way that they inspired his second stringers and so successfully downed them on every occasion on the field of battle. Strachauer led a number of cheers for the teams, and the coaches. Captain Devaney spoke on the influence of football on school life and the fine way in which Blake teams have furthered this influence. Captain-elect Willis Nash made a short speech about the team this year and next year's prospects. Mr. Alder then introduced the following alumni who gave a short message to the players: “Tick’’ Mills. '24, George Christian. '27, and Wy Ford, ex-'28. “Chris'' urged the need of a football camp in creating real friendship and working together. The evening was concluded by the singing of the Alma Mater. Page Ntnetg-secen THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 1927 The Junior-Senior Prom was held on the sixth of June last year, the evening after the Commencement Exercises. This supplied a perfect climax to the social season of the year. The gymnasium was decorated for the affair with red and white streamers. Flowers and palms beautifully set off the end of the room where the orchestra was situated. The dance was very well managed by a committee consisting of Thomas, Bennethum. Hollern and Doerr. During the dance colored lighting effects played on the dancers from the balcony, making a kaleidoscopic scene. Favors in the form of perfume containers were given to the girls, while the Seniors received leather key holders. The dulcet strains to which the dancers tripped the light fantastic emanated from the instruments of Palmer's Orchestra. The refreshments served during the intermission added the final touch to a very enjoyable occasion. CHRISTMAS DANCE 1927 On Friday evening. December sixteenth, the fall term was brought to a pleasant close with the annual Christmas dance. The affair was sponsored by the Blake Union and the committee, consisting of Devaney. Walker, Bennethum and Thomas, took care of the details in a very capable manner. The dance itself was held in the new library, while the refreshments were served in the dining room, which was decorated very fittingly with the time-honored mistletoe and holly. In spite of the extremely inclement weather, about forty couples braved the elements and footed it right merrily under the watchful eyes of the chaperons. Goldberg's Orchestra furnished the music for a truly worthwhile evening. SPRING DANCE 1928 To the Student Council must go the credit for having made the arrangements for one of the largest and most successful spring dances in the School’s history. The date was the twenty-seventh of April, the scene was the dining room of the Country School, and the enjoyment was universal. The Upper School attended almost to a man, and several of the more enterprising Lower Schoolers contributed their graceful gyrations to the dance in general and their voracious appetites to the refreshments in particular. An extremely spring-like evening and excellent music by Morken's Orchestra combined to give everyone, even the chaperons, a large time. Page Ninety-eight During the school year 1927-1928 the traditional custom of Senior Dinners was continued with remarkable success. These entertainments consist of the dinner proper and informal talks by the guest of honor. At the first dinner of the year, which was held on November 6. 1927, we had as our guest Mr. H. A. Bellows, who was for a time a member of the Federal Radio Commission, and at present is the general manager of station WCCO. He told us some very interesting facts about the radio situation. The second dinner, held on December 5. had as speaker Dr. Angus Morrison. He gave those of us who plan to be physicians some useful advice, and his experiences during the War with shell-shock made a very interesting subject. Mr. Carl W. Jones, of the Minneapolis Journal, was the guest at the third dinner, which took place on April 1 1. 1928. His talk on the workings of a newspaper was most welcome, and his disclosure of the opportunities offered by this business was very enlightening. The Senior Class has enjoyed the Senior Dinners of the past year very much, and great thanks are due Mr. Alder, who obtained the speakers, and to the speakers themselves. We hope that this custom may be carried on throughout future years, thus giving those now underclassmen the advantages we have so greatly enjoyed. MOTHERS’ ASSOCIATION This year the Mothers’ Association has been of great help not only to Mr. Alder in making a better Blake but also to the entire school. From the beginning of the year, the mothers of the boys in each Form have conducted regular meetings to discuss the various problems of the School. The Mothers' Association proper, consisting of those mothers who have boys in Blake, has held several meetings, in which Mr. Alder has pointed out the plans of the School and the different changes to be made. T hey have greatly aided in making the social activities as successful as they have been. They have very kindly furnished chaperons for the dances this year and promised financial support in case it was needed. The performance of the Dramatic Association was greatly helped by the kind donations of several dozen ferns to decorate the hall. The mothers have also voted to have robes for the choir. On Tuesday. January 1 7. the Mothers’ Association gave a banquet at the Rendez-vous d’Esler for all the parents of the boys at Blake. A number of parents who are planning to enter boys at the school were invited and an attractive program was given, with several speeches and a short selection of college songs by the choir. This clearly shows the desire on the part of parents to make Blake superior to all schools in the Northwest by their earnest work in its behalf. - Page Ninety-nine THE UNION BANQUET 1927 On Friday evening. June 8. 1927. the Thirteenth Annual Blake Union Banquet was held at the Minneapolis Athletic Club. The customary speeches followed a delicious dinner. Mr. Lamb, who guided the Union through one of its most successful years as faculty advisor, acted as toastmaster. He first introduced Mr. Ben Wood-worth. the alumni guest, who spoke about the Union in its early days and Mr. Hadden, the founder of the organization. Robert Harvey as the retiring president gave a short review of the past year and all that was accomplished. The incoming president. John Devaney. spoke briefly on the prospects for the coming year and of the fine spirit displayed throughout the year. Dr. Cook addressed the guests on maintaining one's health while in school and the value of it in later life. Mr. Alder was the last speaker of the evening. He told how much the Union had aided him in his first year as Head Master at Blake. A number of fathers of Union members were present and several who had attended the banquets before expressed the opinion that this was the best one ever held and it showed what a group of boys could do along serious lines. The Alma Mater was sung and completed a very successful program. CHAPEL SERVICES For the last few years the services in the chapel have been improving. Under Mr. Geiser's able leadership the choir has developed and has greatly aided singing in the chapel. Mr. Alder has done his share in improving the services. It is fit that some mention be made in the Call o’ Pan of the special services that have been conducted this year. The first special chapel service was held on Founders' Day. the twenty-third of December. This served as a dedication of the new chapel. The choir sang an old Dutch hymn. Mr. Crosby spoke about the new chapel, and two Blake Alumni described Blake's earlier days. The Christmas program was marked by Bible readings of the birth of Christ, a dramatization of a scene from Dickens’ Christmas Carol, and by carols by the choir. In the Easter service the choir presented a cantata. The Thorn-Crowned King. assisted by the First. Second and Third Forms, and Charles Doerr read the crucifixion of Christ from the Bible. These programs were well presented, showing the conscientious effort of the participants. The attitude of the student body has at all times been serious and reverent, and we hope that as the services improve the attitude will become more serious and more reverent.

As Sergeant Edwards drew near, he saw that the dormitory was all lit up, and so, it soon transpired, were the occupants. Leap- ing through the window the doughty Edwards was confronted with a scene of wild disorder. At the piano sat the old maestro, Don Geiscr, playing. Somewhere a Vice is Calling, with variations, while the Welch boys played catch with the baby, who was having fun no end. John Spcrxcl, dressed in Mr. Lamb's checkered suit, was chinning himself on the runic of a chair, while young Bagley swung from the chandelier to the transom and back again. Neither Rogers nor Cooper could be found, and foul |� lay was feared. Mrs. Lamb, looking very much distraught, appeared suddenly from the direction of the stairs. Oh, dear, has anyone seen Charles? she quavered. He’s gotten into that furniture polish aga.n, and there'll be no stopping him now. And suiting the action to the words, Charles himself came whirling down tbc lianistcr from the second story, shouted: Curfew shall not ring tonight I and stepped out through the little side door, bound for a large evening in the big city. At this point, Kamsden entered, exuding a strong odor of nicotine, and when questioned, calmly replied that he had just been out for a walk, it lieing such a lovely evening, don’t y'know. And now Sterling Walrus, shocked beyond all expression, and on the verge of tears, but not a whit less determined to do his duty, cleared his throat, took one step to the front and remarked in clear, concise English: ”l)e joint's pinched, youse guys. Line up! And with these harsh words was closed a very unfortunate incident, just another blot upon Blake's fair rscutchcon.

Answer: Most anybody. But the time for tolerance is past. The dread spectre of Famine stalks among us. and having girded on our editorial armour, wc come forth to do it battle. The appalling lack of nourishment � h Sunday .Wight Suppers is draining the life-blood from the vitals of this nation I By actual count, there arc not enough calories in the average Sunday Night Supper to make what a tubercular humming-bird might term a light lunch. And this, gentle readers, is no idle flight of fancy, hut the naked truth, because wc asked a hummingbird. Too many present-day Americans, descendants of sturdy old Puritan stock that started eating early Sunday afternoon and, discounting the attacks of Indians from without and of hard cider from within, ate clear through to Monday morning, resulting in what we now call Blue Monday, are content to forage in the ice-box for their Sunday Night Suppers. Here they assemble a palatable array of foodstuffs ranging all the way from leftover rice pudding to Codfish balls, warmed up for the third consecutive Sunday. Having eaten, they retire for the night, only to come stealing back about eleven o’clock for a nightcap of dill pickles and soda-crackers. And what, may wc ask. is all this getting them? Answer: Usually a bad stomach ache about 4:00 A. M. We would not preach. We would not wax didactic and prosy in these columns (note plural usage). But we would avert the grim spectre. Famine, and point the way to a gustatory Utopia, where the Sunday Night Supper may hold up its head, and take its rightful place beside the Thanksgiving Dinner and the old-time Free Lunch, as a real square meal with all the fixin's. And can we fail in so noble an undertaking? Answer: Yes. we most certainty can. THF. AGONY COLUMN Miss Harriet Heartburn. Editor Dear Miss Heartburn: I'm fust a great big fun-loving kid, full of high spirits and boyish pranks, and, I might add, a mighty swell guy to know. I hate to admit it in public this way, but I go to the Blake School. Now don’t get me wrong. Harriet, please. Well. I’ve l cen keeping company with the same girl for close on to nine years now. and would you believe it, Harriet, I don’t know her last name yet! Her first name, however, is Hazel, if that helps any, but knowing Hazel like I do, I don't see how it possibly could. She is just twenty-eight years my senior, has buck teeth and asthma, and takes three lumps of sugar in her coffee. She also plays the zither. You know the type. She’s all woman, she is. Harriet, and I'd lie the happiest man on earth if she'd consent to l e my wife, but somehow I don't like to pop the question until I know her last name. It might be Olson or even Ginsberg and I never did care for them Kyetalians. f'lease advise. George Rogers (Just Punk to the boys) My dear Punk'’: The cards arc against you. Not only that, but I happen to know this Hazel, and take it from me, buddy, she’s all to the bad. Her maiden name was O'Shaughncssy, and she’s just divorced her fourth husband. Better try to forget her. H. II. Harriet, old thing: Well, here I am back in the old column again, and how familiar it all seems, too. I'd just like to say in passing that you certainly gave me a bum steer on that blonde I wrote you about. Well anyways, Harriet, I'm thinking of settling down and I want your advice. I’m tired of it all—the gay, glittering social whirl here at Blake that holds me in its gilded meshes—three dances a year is too much. I thought somewhat of getting a little vine-clad cottage out in the country near Spring Park, maybe, with a small vegetable garden of roy own and an iron deer in the front yard. How does that sound to you? John Wells ( Happy Jack’’) Ircys Dear John: My dear it sounds simply divine. except that part about Spring Park. I’d stay away from there, John, really I would. H. ii. P. S. Sorry about the blonde. They’re funny that way. H.
