Harvard University: University of Berlin German IT is only right that at the beginning of this yearbook we pay tribute to Mr. Eugene C. Alder, the man who is most responsible for Blake’s exceptionally high standing among the private high schools throughout the country. During Mr. Alder’s eighteen years at Blake the prestige of the school has steadily increased, and it is because of his outstanding leadership that Blake is rated along with the finest eastern preparatory schools. His unswerving loyalty, his desire to promote Blake interests have exemplified and inspired the tradition of school spirit which is present in all Blake students. In trying to raise the scholastic standing, in athletics, and in all the various extra-curricular activities, every Blake boy knows that he has the energetic support of the headmaster. It is needless to say that from the boys and masters at Blake, Mr. Alder has won such admiration and respect as few men can hope to have. 11 t ii i: l� A N C A L L O ’ O F NOAH SYLVESTER FOSS Assistant Headmaster Head of Lower School Latin B.A.. Dartmouth College ANY student of Blake who has had the opportunity of studying under the tutelage of Mr. Foss will vouch for the painstaking care with which he conducts his classes. In addition to serving as Assistant Headmaster. Mr. Foss has assumed charge of the Lower School. Any committee selected to render decisions on scholastic contests invariably finds him acting as its chairman or one of its members. As faculty adviser for the Union he assisted that organization invaluably by his wise comments and suggestions. During prewar years Mr. Foss, accompanied by his Virgil students, retreated in the summer months to his cottage on the St. Croix. But until conditions are returned to normal, he will enjoy his private interests—art and music. MR. WESTMARK’S chief hobbies and interests lie almost completely at Blake. Besides instructing manual training, Mr. Westmark puts a great deal of time and effort into helping the Dramatic Association with lighting and staging, the art department in cutting stencils, the Hockey team in its construction of warming houses, and last but not least, Blake School itself in repairing its clocks, water fountains, broken chairs, etc. Probably his busiest time of the year is at commencement. At this time he personally turns the field house into an assembly room by his construction of many tables and platforms. Considering all the work Mr. Westmark has done in his 32 years at Blake, one may easily say that Blake is proud to receive his services. HENRY ARTHUR WESTMARK Manual Arts University of Minnesota: Stout Institute 12 N I X E T E E F O It T Y F I V E THIS year Mr. Cleveland finished his first quarter-century at Blake. Today Mr. Cleveland is senior master of the Upper School in addition to many other offices which he holds in the school. It is his duty as adviser to the publications to see that budding journalists do not go off the deep end” when it comes to “printing all the news that’s fit to print” in the TORCH. He is also treasurer of the Blake Athletic Association. Mr. Cleveland's most important jobs at Blake are vanquishing “the morbid propensity toward sloth and procrastination” which Blake seniors seem to possess and giving their English its final polishing before they leave Blake to enter the colleges of their choice. PAUL BOSANKO French. Spanish 15.A.. LL.B.. Yale University: M.A., Colorado State Teachers College: University of Minnesota PRESCOTT COYLE CLEVELAND Senior Master of Upper School; Secretary of Faculty; English B.S., Union College THIS year of 1945 marks the end of Mr. Bosanko’s second decade as a Blake master. If all the boys to whom he has taught the principal parts of “ctre” during that time were to be stretched end to end, they would undoubtedly go a long way toward reaching from Mr. Alder’s office to the far end of the Champs-£lysees. 1945 also marks the return of Mr. Bosanko as adviser of the swimming team, bringing an end to his unfortunate absence of several years. Blake boys who have imbibed of Romance Languages under his guidance will remember Mr. Bosanko’s uncanny ability for inventing appropriate nicknames and using them. His unique personality and sterling ability as an instructor make Mr. Bosanko a master whom Blake boys will never forget. 13 T II E l� A O F C A L L O HAROLD HODGKINSON Physics, Chemistry B.A., Clark University AS any alumnus who has had the experience can tell you. one’s career at Blake is not complete without at least one year under the tutelage of Mr. Hodgkinson. Blake’s foremost exponent of physics and chemistry. Since 1927, when Mr. Hodgkinson first began guiding Blake’s scientific destiny, boys have been emerging from his classes brimming with the ability to compute the specific gravity of a wooden block three-fourths submerged in salt water, and eager to demonstrate the facility with which they are able to bandy about such phrases as “the hydro-static paradox, and “the homologous series of the saturated hydrocarbons. Aside from his scientific pursuits. Mr. Hodgkinson finds pleasure in music. Blake would indeed be at a loss without the influence of this refreshing personality. DURING his sixteen years’ sojourn at Blake Mr. Strickland has taught every language course that the school offers. Recently he has dropped all languages but German, and is now the head of this department. He has an ardent interest in politics, music, and classical literature. besides possessing a lively sense of humor. In addition to his classwork, Mr. Strickland has coached every available coefficient team both in football and baseball. Two years ago he also coached the varsity hockey team and turned in a successful season. Mr. Strickland has recently suffered a slight period of ill-health and for the present has been forced to stop coaching. All here at Blake hope that Mr. Strickland will soon be able to make use of his coaching ability again. WILLIAM ALEXANDER STRICKLAND German, English B.S., Harvard University: Mid-dlebury College; University of Minnesota 14 IV I E T E E X V I V E F O IK T Y AS the Blake golf team winds up another successful season. Mr. Glenn can look back on fifteen years of untiring labor in Blake activities, many of which have been spent in trying to teach golf aspirants to hit the ball without digging a foundation for a summer cottage on the fairway. He also assists Mr. Smith in pounding the rudiments of football into the skulls of the battered hulks which Blake proudly exhibits as its football team. His activities are by no means limited to sports, however, as many a Sixth Form English student can testify. Besides the aforementioned duties he also conducts the Short Story Club, and the success of the organization is proved by the large attendance at every meeting. WILLIAM JAMES GLENN English B.A.. Ed. iM., Harvard University HAROLD T. LUNDHOLM Mathematics B.A.. Augustana College; M.S., University of Iowa: Columbia University MR. LUNDHOLM. a truly competent man. heads the mathematics department at Blake. This gentleman of facts and figures is proficient in more ways than one, however. Few boys who have been privileged to have him as an instructor will forget the personal interest which he takes in all his students. During the winter term. Mr. Lundholm fills the job of coach for the cagers, and he usually succeeds in bringing them out on top. In the spring, he turns his attentions to the softball squad. As leader of this team, he often produces material for the Bears. His great interest in the school procedures and activities has certainly helped to make Blake School what it is today. 15 t ii i: I A IV O F A L I. O LEONE NUNAN Lower School Speech Northwestern University IT IS Mrs. John S. Nunan who gives the students their first lessons on how to speak on the stage. For eight years Mrs. Nunan has taken the boys who enter Blake in the Lower School and developed the talents that they possess in the art of thinking and talking on their feet. Every year during the spring term Mrs. Nunan coaches the boys in the three Lower forms in preparation for the Wilson Cup Contest. The result of her efforts is that the Wilson Cup Contest is one of the finest public speaking contests held at Blake. She also produces the annual Lower School Christmas play. Mrs. Nunan has undoubtedly done wonders at Blake in helping the younger boys overcome the natural fear of speaking before an audience. EVER since Mr. Bryan became a member of the Blake faculty in 1938, he has taken an active part in the cultural development of the Blake students. He has had programs of classical music on Sunday evenings at the West House for several years. Besides this activity, he organized the History of Art course which is now open to juniors and seniors. This course is something decidedly new, and it fills a cultural gap which has long existed at Blake. The course at present offers an opportunity to study all major movements and trends in history. In addition to these duties, Mr. Bryan has been the head of the boarding department for several years. WILHELMUS BOGART BRYAN History of Art: Speech: Art: Counselor: Director of Boarding Department 16 B.A.. M.A., Princeton University: Princeton Theological Seminary; University of Minnesota N I N E T E E F O II T Y F I V E ON almost any day in the spring one may look out on the baseball diamond and see a tall individual driving a bunch of boys to greater heights. This is our “Chief” Wonson. coach of the Blake Baseball team. “Chief” entered school in the fall of 1940 as adviser and teacher of the First Form, and surprisingly enough is still a calm individual save for a moment or two in every baseball game. During the fall he coaches the mighty A team, which has been undefeated for three years. In the winter he amazes all by his skiing prowess and terrifies others by rushing at them with a basketball. After his coaching in the spring, he turns to pitching for the Minneapolis ‘ Millers. But wherever “Chief” may be. he is found surrounded by his many friends. PAUL K. PHILLIPS Athletic Director History B.A., Amherst: Harvard University: Ohio State University Law School HAROLD SAYWARD WONSON. JR. History, Geography Supervisor of First Form B.A., Dartmouth College MR. PHILLIPS joined the Blake faculty in the fall of 1942 as American history teacher and athletic director. Despite his many duties he also found time to act as senior adviser this year. Many people believe that Mr. Phillips is part Indian for he possesses all the powers that made the Indian famous. As a tracker and hunter he uses these powers to the best advantage in dragging out those optimistic souls who believe that they can avoid calisthenics. The success of Blake in its sporting events is also in no small way due to Mr. Phillips' work in lining up all football, hockey, and baseball games. Besides all these duties, he also spends his summers as a counselor in a New York summer camp. 17 T II E l� A A O F CALL KARL A. DANIELSON Biology. Hygiene B.A., Carleton: University of Michigan: Mainline University O ’ SINCE the fall of 1942, when Mr. Danielson began teaching at Blake, it has been a necessity for every boy to wish him good night before leaving the school. If this duty is neglected, serious consequences are usually the result for Mr. Danielson is in charge of checking out. However, his main job is teaching biology to juniors and seniors and hygiene to second and third formers. During the winter term he also teaches first aid twice a week and leads the hiking squad to fill up the other three afternoons. Perhaps Mr. Danielson is most famous for the trips which he has taken to the South American jungles. He has many interesting tales to tell when he wishes to enlighten his biology classes. MR. BERKELEY entered Blake in the fall of 1942 to collaborate with Mr. Bosanko in the Romance Language department. At present he is teaching second and third year Spanish, French, and Lower School English. In addition to his duties as an instructor, the autumnal season finds Mr. Berkeley keeping an eagle eye on the Lower School tennis players. In the winter term his attentions are shifted to the activities of the hiking squad. Spring returns him to the tennis courts once more. Mr. Berkeley’s outside interests lie largely in the classical field. He is often to be found frequenting Northrop Auditorium or attending whatever Minneapolis is fortunate enough to obtain in the theatrical field. Mr. Berkeley’s friendly attitude and quiet manner have won many friends for him at Blake. ELWOOD N. BERKELEY Spanish, English B.A.. University of Minnesota: M.A., Northwestern University: University of Pittsburgh 18 NINETEEN F O IK T Y F I V E MR. RUNKLE, our genial Math Prof, has been at Blake since the fall of 1942. when he came to Blake to take over Lower School Mathematics. Since then his friendly good nature has made him a friend of many boys in both Upper and Lower School. He immediately amazed the students when he pedaled to school in the most inclement weather on his trusty bicycle. Mr. Runkle has taken an active part in the coaching of coefficient athletics by taking over future “four horsemen and blocks of granite and “big leaguers now in training on the playing fields. An example of Mr. Runkle’s understanding of the younger boys at Blake is that he was chosen as adviser of the Second Form this year. ROBERT L. RUNKLE Mathematics B.A.. Cornell College (Iowa) : M.A., University of Iowa RAYMOND C. SMITH History B.A., Coc College WHEN Mr. Smith is not planning for next year's football team or teaching his young hopefuls the fundamentals, he is teaching eager students ancient history. From the time he entered Blake three years ago. Mr. Smith has taken an active part in the school’s activities and has served capably as each year’s Fifth Form adviser. In the sports field Mr. Smith also excels and for the last three years has not only turned out superior football teams but has also coached J. V. hockey aspirants as well as the track squad. This year he has also tried his hand at softball by pitching for the squad. Mr. Smith, however, will probably be best remembered by Blake boys for his friendly nature and grueling calisthenics. 19 t ii i: P A I¥ O F C A L L ALDEN GIBSON VAUGHAN Latin B.A.. Dartmouth College: M.A., Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania O ’ SINCE Mr. Vaughan joined the faculty of Blake School in 1944. he has become one of the most popular masters of Blake. His quiet and reserved manner has gained for him the respect of all the members of the faculty and student body. Mr. Vaughan has participated eagerly and actively in student affairs. Besides teaching Latin. Mr. Vaughan has begun a course in Greek, which promises to be very successful. He has also served as Fourth Form adviser this year. As if this weren't enough, he volunteered to become the debating coach for the 1944-45 season. The success of this year’s Forum debate can also be credited to Mr. Vaughan. Such an attitude is greatly admired and appreciated. IN two years Mr. Parks has taken over some very important duties at Blake. His teaching duties are concerned with the Lower School, where he teaches mathematics and general science. Besides his academic activities, he has been active in sports. Under his capable leadership, the hockey team has enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in recent years. His coaching ability is by no means limited to hockey, for he coaches the Junior Varsity football in the fall and the A team basketball in the spring. During the summer months he is a counselor at Camp Lincoln, and in the early fall he helps Mr. Smith prepare the team for the coming season. Blake may consider itself fortunate to have the services of Mr. Parks. MERWYN EARL PARKS Mathematics, General Science B.S.. Iowa Wesleyan College: University of Iowa 20 i I NET E E IV F O It T Y F I V E MR. DAUGHERTY, a new member of the Blake faculty of 1944-45, has come as a mathematics instructor. Mr. Daugherty graduated from Dickinson College, Carlisle. Pennsylvania, in 1925. Ten years later he received his M.A. degree from Syracuse University. Recently he has worked as a science instructor for the Army Air Forces’ meteorology and Navy V-12 courses. His knowledge of what the services want in mathematics and his ability to model his courses to suit their wishes is proving very valuable to Blake students. This year he taught first and second year Algebra and the mathematics review course which was offered to the seniors for the first time this year. We hope Mr. Daugherty's experience in teaching mathematics will benefit Blake boys for years to come. JOHN HENRY DAUGHERTY Mathematics Sc.B.. Dickinson: M.A., Syracuse University; Bucknel! College: Columbia University HOWARD FILSON JONES English Chapel Organist Dormitory Master B.S.. Kansas State Teachers College: M.A., Columbia University ♦Front January 10. 1945. MR. JONES, the most recent addition to the Blake faculty, came to strengthen our English department this fall. Previous to this time he had spent two years as a Lieutenant in the navy. He has established quarters at the West House dormitory during the school year in order to help Mr. Bryan keep the boarders out of mischief. He has also helped out in the library where he reigns when Miss Hiniker is absent. Mr. Jones' main interests are in music and drama. He has helped to coach boys for the various public speaking contests which were held and he also offered his services to the dramatic association. With Mr. Berkeley he led the group of students to the Young People’s Concert at the University. 21 t ii i: C A L L l� A N O F O ’ FACULTY MEMBERS LT. ALFRED A. AVERILL, JR. SGT. MORISON BRIGHAM LT.

PHILLIPS THE members of the class of 1945 wish to express their deepest gratitude toward Mr. Paul K. Phillips for the excellent and unselfish guidance he has given during the past year to our class concerning the proper attitude toward all matters pertaining to the school and our scholastic programs. In a year when our numbers have been steadily lessened by the war, he has done service of inestimable worth for us by helping us hold the spirit of our class together. 27 t ii i: C A L L I A NT O F O 9 Back Row: C.

Cargill MacMillan, entered the former Junior School on Colfax Avenue. As the oldest member of the class. Mac has been able to give many bits of fatherly advice to the twenty-seven boys as. one by one. they entered Blake’s immortal halls. During his latter four years at Blake. Mac was one of the best athletes in the class, winning several letters in football, hockey, and tennis. Justy [.owe also entered Junior Blake in the fall of 1933. but left in the fourth grade and re-entered Blake in the Third Form. In the second grade. Charlie Horn, the class valedictorian and human encyclopedia. entered Junior Blake. During his stay at Blake, Charlie has proved himself to be one of the ablest speakers, actors, and writers in the class. In the fourth grade. Rip West, a Cum Laude man and athlete of no small repute, joined our growing class. Rip climaxed his athletic career by captaining the 1944 football team. In the fifth grade, the class was supplemented by the entrance of two class Romeos. Bill Howard and Steve Wyer. Both Howard and Wyer also became famous as athletes, scholars, and members of other extra-curricular activities. In 1938. this small group of innocent lads journeyed out to the big school at Hopkins. They were more than slightly perturbed at being transformed from the most prominent class at Junior Blake to the most insignificant class at Senior Blake. They were somewhat astonished at the giants that paraded the halls and the unearthly sounds that were emitted from the senior room, but after a few trips to this strange room, they were acquainted to the laws of the school. In the First Form five new boys joined our ranks. Bill Groth journeyed up from Harley Hopkins to add to our scholastic and athletic strength. Joe Michael came from Fulton and ultimately was to become the editor-in-chief of the TORCH and this year s CALL O’ PAN. Two of our greatest athletes. Walt Bones and Shorty Finch also entered this year. Both of these boys made several letters each 28 A I A E T E E A’ F O IK T V F I V E in football, baseball, and hockey. Shorty was captain of the hockey team in his senior year, and Walt captained the baseball team. After three years on the student council. Shorty climaxed his career by being elected Head Boy, the highest honor the school can confer upon a student. Nat Stevens, “the boy who made Lake Minnetonka famous. entered our class this fateful year. It has often been rumored that Steve has personally traversed every inch of Minnetonka’s 300 mile shore line. One cannot pass lightly over Steve s athletic powers, for he has won letters in football, hockey, and baseball. In the Second Form, one new member, Paul McGough. joined our forces. Paul came from Annunciation, and during his six years at Blake, he became one of the most popular members of his class. As an athlete, Paul was a mainstay for Ray Smith's forward wall for two years, and during the winter of his senior year he was manager of the hockey team. “Casanova Fullerton also entered our class in Form II. Jim has made letters in football, swimming, and tennis. In the Third Form the class was given a timely uplift with the addition of six new members. Alan “quiet but bubbling over with effervescence. Smith joined our crew. Justy Lowe, famous football guard, golfer, goalie, boxer, and well known judge and law-maker, once again joined us after an absence of three years. Edina’s loss was Blake's gain when Brooks Naffziger entered Blake. Brooks has always maintained a high scholastic average, and as an athlete he won letters in Blake’s three major sports. Brooks was elected to the student council this year. Jim Park, football player of note, entered our ranks in the Third Form. However. Jim joined the U. S. Navy late in 1944. thus making it impossible for him to graduate. Tom Mulcahy also joined our ranks in the Third Form. During his four years at Blake, Tom has maintained a high scholastic average, and his name has consistently been on the honor roll. He was a member of the glee club and a reporter on the TORCH. Tom left Blake late in November to join the navy. He was the first member of our class to join the Armed Forces. In the Fourth Form we added seven new members, more than in any other previous year or in any year since that time. Bill Townsend left Ramsey Junior High to join us, and during his four years at Blake he has graced the honor roll many times and has taken an active part in extra-curricular activities. Robbie Struthers. who won much repute as a basketball player, joined us this year. Fred “88 keys” Gamble also enrolled this year. Fred, who for four years has been the AS WE LOOKED IN THE THIRD FORM 29 THE € A L L I� A N O F O 9 AS WE LOOKED IN THE FIFTH FORM classes’ leading exponent and player of any kind of music, has also taken time out to earn a letter in football and manage this year's baseball team. Sam Adams journeyed down from Fergus Falls to join our class; Jerry Brill, boogie-woogie player superb, and Les Brown, famous as namesake of one of the country’s currently popular bands and swimming manager extraordinary, also joined us. Also in the Fourth Form Bill Hayes joined us after his graduation from Harley Hopkins. Bill added to the athletic strength of the class by winning letters in football, baseball, hockey, golf, and climaxed his career by being elected president of our class this year. In the Fifth Form, we added one new member. Tot Heffelfinger. During his sojourn at Blake Tot has been a member of the student council, managing editor of the TORCH, a three letter winner in football, a member of the tennis team, and a two letter winner on the swimming team, which he captained this year. In the Sixth Form we added three new members. Bob Hunter, magnificent debater and short-story writer, journeyed over from South Dakota to join us. Deane Moyer, debater, speaker, and owner-of-a-grey-Plymouth-that-subsists-entirely-on-naphtha. left Washburn to join our thriving group. We were also blessed this year when Doug McAfee, French refugee and survivor of three years of Hitler's Nazi government, joined us. Before Doug came to this country he spent many months in a German concentration camp. As a group, we have always stood high scholastically, capturing the scholarship plaque for the form with the highest average every month but once while we were in the Fifth Form. We can truly boast of being one of the greatest athletic classes that has ever sojourned in these immortal halls. Every boy has at least one interest outside of the classroom—athletics, music, publications, or dramatics. Although we will soon scatter throughout the world in the many branches of the Armed Forces, and. although, fatalistic as it may seem, some of us may never return from the tides of this enormous struggle that the world now embraces, through all the experiences that we will encounter, we will always hold close to our hearts the fond memories of the many happy days spent here at Blake. As seniors, we wish to thank Mr. Alder. Mr. Phillips, our class adviser, the trustees, the faculty, and the school staff for the many services they have rendered unto us, and trust that they will continue to keep Blake as it lies in our memories—the greatest prep school in the country. 30 I E T E E F O II T Y F I V E SAMUEL PHILIP ADAMS, JR. Entered Blake in 1941 Sam'' Minnesota In every deed of mischief he had a heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.”—Gibbon IF upon stepping into the chemistry laboratory you were to hear a voice suggesting the pollution of Mr. Hodgkinson’s supply of “pure water” or that a quantity of hydrogen sulfide be evolved and diffused throughout the lab so as to render subsequent chemical research impossible, you could be sure that the perpetrator of these plots was Sam Adams. Sam entered our class in the Fourth Form coming from Fergus Falls, and since that time he has astounded the dormitory inmates with his nefarious ideas to generally disrupt life in the aforementioned institution. His propensity toward things mechanical and scientific has caused him no little trouble as is shown by his attempt to lighten the expense of the dorm members who wished to use Edison’s gift to mankind, the telephone. He has become a permanent member of the hike squad and may be seen every day toiling under H. Lundholm’s body building exercises. Evidently he considers social life in our fair city vastly inferior to that of Fergus Falls for after experimenting a couple of times with blind dates, he lost all interest and retired to a life of solitude and mischief. Sam is unique in that he is the only member of our class who has succeeded in weathering the attacks of the class treasurer when dues are due. He comes through these attacks unscathed and usually in possession of most of his funds. This shy. unassuming, but witty character plans to sojourn in Minneapolis and receive his future education at the University of Minnesota, and we predict that Sam will make as big a success of his University education as he has at Blake. 31 t ii i: CALL O I A i O F WALTER I. BONES, JR. Entered Blake in 19 8 •Walt Navy Oh. it is excellent to have a giant s strength. —Shakespeare WHEN Walt entered Blake as a chubby First Former, no one would have dared guess that he would become the Charles Atlas and Athlete Supreme of the senior class, and it was with deep regret that we bade Walter adieu in February, when the navy decided that he was indispensable to the war effort. When awe-inspiring crashes and animal roars, seeping through the senior room floor, brought “Pop Bryan bounding to his feet uttering dire threats, the perpetrator of the uproar could usually be traced to Walt. The beautiful green couch, which once graced the interior of the senior room, also succumbed to Walt's onslaught, for it was never built to withstand the weekly wrestling matches, which he supervised, fought, and won with surprising regularity. His three letters in football are graphic proof of his brutality on the gridiron. The three letters in hockey and two in baseball and captain-lo be of the 45 baseball team show his versatility in sports not easily equalled. As a crumb-brusher and feeder in the Blake zoo he was to be seen daily taking his nourishment at the waiter s table amid loud snorts, grunts and soul-searing slurps. That he was popular was shown by his two-year membership in the Blake Union and president of the Athletic Association. When the navy department decides that Walt is of no further use to them, the job of giving him a higher education will be turned over to the iM.I.T. We hope they will succeed as we are sure they will, for they will get a good man who knows his “stuff.’’ 32 NINETEE F O II T V F I V E JOSIAH ESCHEL BRILL, JR. Entered Blake in 1941 “Jerry Carlcton Jazz! C’esi magnifique! —Miller FOUR years ago an earnest little fellow with a wicked gleam in his eye entered the hallowed halls of Blake. That gleam has developed into Jerry Brill’s scintillating wit and sparkling personality. Jerry's profound knowledge of things metaphysical often gives birth to a remark such as, “All you do is add a pound of skraddlanz to a pound of fludge-waddle and you get a half-pound of snidlick, but don't drink it!” This and other chemical observations are beyond the average senior’s powers of comprehension, but they're an everyday matter to Jerry. His morale-raising table conversation also will be long remembered by his fellow inmates at Blake. After making the grade in physics last year, Jerry turned his strong and amiable personality to an intensive study of the weaker sex. His determination to make his way through chemistry this year has postponed his study temporarily and has given him the attitude toward the “cubes’’ taken by most experienced Blake men. Jerry’s sincere attitude toward his studies is admired and respected by all who know him. but this attitude doesn’t prevent him from seeing the humorous side of everything. In the field of sports Jerry has made his name through his golf ability. In his junior year he followed up an invigorating season on the hiking squad by becoming manager of the golf team. His golf prowess has rewarded him with two well-deserved letters. Jerry will enter Carleton this fall and plans to follow a year of academic education with engineering at M.I.T. but. wherever he goes, we know Jerry will be as popular and well-liked as he has been at Blake. 33 T II K I A A O F C A L L © ’ LESLIE HUNTINGTON BROWN Entered Blake in 1941 Les Harvard A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.'’—Kipling WHEN on a Saturday morning a Blake gridder, recovering from Friday s game, looks at the morning paper, he finds that Blake defeated “Podunk High 7 to 0. Nafliger” of Blake scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter, while Herald Lome” and Walt Flinfe starred in the line. Although he may hurl curses at the head of Les Brown, if he stops and considers the situation, he will understand that the fault lies not with Les but with some typesetter. Les has been manager of the Blake Press Club (he is also the only member of it) during his senior year, and he has done an outstanding job in covering all Blake athletic events. Les Brown is a tall lad with a long, angular jaw. who entered our midst in Fourth Form. Since then he has made himself an active member of our class. He turned his talents toward debating in his junior year and represented the negative team in the 1944 Forum Debate. This winter he tried out for Dramatics and won a part of the Removable Magistrate in Spreading the News. On the stage he looked like the Volstead Act personified (of which he heartily disapproves as an infringement on the civil liberties of the American people). His portrayal of the blue-nosed old judge was nothing short of wonderful. He has also been a reporter on the TORCH. He is a confirmed member of the Blake Spring and Fall Ski Jump Maintenance Crew and the Hiking Club. This winter he served as manager of the Swimming team. Les will be fortunate enough to be able to complete a full year at Harvard, the college of his choice, before he enters the service. 34 N I N E T E E F O IK T Y F I V E HAROLD BERTRAM FINCH, JR. Entered Blake in 1938 Shorty’' Cornell Every man has his own laugh. —Kelly THROUGH all his years at Blake, Shorty Finch has stood out in every activity he has undertaken. His popularity and ability were proved, when, after three years on the student council, he was this year elected Head Boy. Shorty’s general athletic ability is unsurpassed by any other member of the senior class; he was center on the football team during his junior and senior year. In hockey, however, he was really outstanding, making three varsity letters and captaining the team this season. His efforts were rewarded when he received the Dartmouth Hockey Trophy. Spring found Shorty out on the diamond at first base. Shorty has been a member of the Union for two years, and served a term as vice president last year. During the winter term he showed a dramatic ability which approached that of the great Barrymore. Our Head Boy is known to be somewhat of a dreamer and spends much of his time reflecting on past experiences. On one such occasion he blissfully drove someone else’s car home from a TORCH meeting. If Shorty could be found Monday mornings peacefully sleeping on a senior room table, it was not because he lacked ambition. On the contrary, it was merely because he had too much over the weekend. Concerning Shorty’s many other accomplishments we must be brief. He helped handle the second-hand bookstore and wrote a by-line for the TORCH. Shorty is headed for Cornell University where he should be able to finish a term of college before going into the service. We know he will do as well there as he has done at Blake. 35 T II E CALL O I A N O F JAMES GORDON FULLERTON, III Entered Blake in 1932 Jim” Snake Army Procrastination is the thief of FROM the wilds of Long Lake came tall, lean, lanky Jim Fullerton to increase the number of the class of 1945. Since then his unique personality and build has brought him the name of “Snake.'' A real old-timer in the class, his colorful expressions have done much to keep up our morale. Jim has always been interested in football, but last year ran into a bit of hard luck at the beginning of the season when he hurt his hip. The unfortunate accident put Jim out for that season, but this year he returned to Ray Smith's squad and won his letter at end. Swimming has been one of Jim's main interests for several years and for the past season he has been an integral part of the team, swimming in the 40-yard dash and the relay. In tennis, “Snake” has made two letters. and would have been on the courts this year but for the fact that the army took him before the season arrived. Jim likes to keep his extra-scholastic activities to himself. It is known, however, that he enjoys rides in elevators and used to indulge in this pastime daily before swimming. This biography cannot be complete without mentioning an anecdote which resulted in embarrassment for the “Snake.” In this respect it is sufficient to say that he mistakenly appeared in an exposed condition before a group of onlookers at a swimming meet. Jim hopes to attend Stanford, but before this, he has a long-standing date with Uncle Sam, and we think we are safe in saying that he will do much to keep up the morale of our armed forces. 36 I E T i; E F O IK T Y FIVE FREDERICK ROBERT GAMBLE, JR. Entered Blake in 1941 Red Fred Fred Navy There never was a saint with red hair. — Russian proverb WHEN we finally arrived in the Upper School, a fellow joined our class whose blush was almost as red as his hair. It was not long afterwards that the name of Red Fred was tacked onto this per-n 'M sonage, and it has remained ever since. It is a common % $ experience to have Fred come bounding into the senior room after having been at the Prom the MV v Wednesday night before and shout, It was terrific! ' We might add that the sides Fred cut down at 1 Schmitt’s as part of a sextet are terrific too. Fred's '.'EE' , MB y main interest outside of school is music—whether EBtft. getting his kicks playing the piano for one of the orchestras around town, listening to his own fine collection of records, or sitting in at a jam session at the Southern Barb. As a coiner of many of the phrases around school, Fred manages to slip them into the paper with fiendish delight. On Publications he also did Blake a service by educating the boys in the realms of jazz in his column, Platter Patter. The Union members showed their appreciation, of his genius and wit by electing him one of their members. On the football field Fred won his letter this year as a rugged guard. He is also a stalwart of the basketball team. This spring Fred assumed the responsibility of manager of the baseball team. Space docs not permit further revelation of his social activities other than that he was on the Dance Committee. Fred’s immediate plans are concerned with the navy, and after that he is going to Dartmouth. 37 t ii i: I A O F CALL O’ WILLIAM IRMIS GROTH Entered Blake in 1938 “Bill Merchant Marine Cadet School CUM LAUDE “There was a A TALL lad with a Satanic smile may be seen bending over a bulky volume. He idly flips the pages. At the end of the period, he rises and announces that he has finished the book. The name of this rapid-fire reader is William Groth, and the ability to digest in hours tomes which take the average senior weeks to read is but one of his talents. Bill entered Blake “way back” in 1938 when the class of 1945 was in First Form. Since then he has taken an active part in almost every form of extracurricular activity. Besides these, he has taken part in several sports, tying for first place in the high jump last year and winning his letter in football. Bill's literary ability has made him an indispensable member of the TORCH staff when “Ed” finds that he has to have a seven hundred word editorial written at the last minute. He has made many attempts in the field of creative writing, many of which have appeared in the TORCH. He was one of the seniors chosen to read their Williams Themes before the school. Bill is a debater of great ability, having debated continually since the Fourth Form. Occasionally he likes to reminisce about “the good old days” of debating when he took part in that never-to-be-forgotten debate with Roosevelt. Outside of school he has many cultural and social interests. Of the latter we cherish the story of how he “dumped” a young lady out of his car into a snowdrift. Seriously, Bill Groth has been a vital cog in the activities of the class of '45. He plans to enter the Merchant Marine and to continue his studies at Yale after the war. laughing devil in his sneer.” —Byron 38 I N E T E E X E O It T Y F I V E WILLIAM DAVID HAYES Entered Blake in 1941 Bilr Yale Laughter holding both his sides.”—Milton IT WAS with loud wailing and gnashing of teeth that we watched Bill being hauled off the football field during the West game last fall, for Blake had lost one of its most versatile athletes in one fell swoop. Bill entered Blake in the Fourth Form and since that time he has won three letters in football, one in hockey, one in baseball, and earned a position on the golf team this spring. He has proved himself an able leader as well, by being elected captain of the Whites this year and serving on the Athletic Association for two years as vice-president and secretary-treasurer. As boss of the local black market, he has kept embezzlement and fraud down to a minimum, but if the complaints concerning the Athletic store were to be registered at the O.P.A., trouble might ensue. Bill’s captivating smile and dimples have won him a high place among the local wolf pack, but as yet he has maintained an independent course as far as the fairer sex is concerned. His popularity, however, is not limited to females. He was elected to the Union, was class president this year, and was vice-president last year. His scholastic rating, although not Cum Laude, does not cause “Doc” Alder to lose any sleep, and Bill is a charter member of the “No biology test today” club. Bill's aspirations for a higher education have caused him to look toward Yale as his future Alma Mater, but it looks as though the navy will get their hands on him first, as he has taken and passed the air crew test. But, whether it is navy or Yale, we are sure that his popularity and leadership will show him the way to great things. 39 T II E I A O F C A L L O TOTTON PEAVEY HEFFELFINGER, III Entered Blake in 1942 “Tot Yale CUM LAUDE “Full well they laughed, with counterfeited glee. At all his jokes, for many a joke had he. —Goldsmith AT the time of the writing of this article this smiling lad seems to be the last Heffelfinger to go through the halls of Blake for the present generation. Not content with this distinction, Tot has gone all-out for school activities and has really made a name for himself since he became a member of our class back in the Fifth Form. At first youthful minds were astonished by the fund of stories and practical information he had at his grasp. Even today he ranks as a story teller (his Russian train story being one of the best). By the end of his first month at Blake Tot had established himself as one of the class brains.” He went out for football at that time, and has three letters to show for three years on the team. When winter rolled around. Tot joined that famous club for Heffelfingers, the swimming team. This year he was elected captain of the team and was awarded the Guy Thomas Trophy. During his last two years at Blake Tot really branched out. This year he was on the student council and was managing editor of the TORCH. Taking advantage of a pronounced resemblance to Charles Boyer, he played the part of a French officer in the Blake plays. However. we cannot write of the life of Heffelfinger without mentioning his famous car, Cosmo. This is perhaps one of the most amazing cars ever seen on the parking lot. It is almost human. Despite punishment, it runs, skips, and jumps over the road with reckless abandon. Tot has been in our class for only three years, but his friendly attitude and natural leadership have made him seem like one of the oldtimers.” We truly wish him success. 40 N I N E T E E N F O II T Y FI V E CHARLES LILLEY HORN, JR. Entered Blake in 1934 “Charlie “Chuck Minnesota VALEDICTORIAN “No wild enthusiast ever yet could rest. Till half mankind were like himself possessed.' ’—Cow per ONE of the charter members of the class of '45, Chuck has won almost every speaking contest in the school. A member of the debating squad for four years, he has always harbored the secret desire to drop his notes and start ranting about Communism. To achieve the right effect he has stopped wearing neckties and cultivated a beard with the result that Horn has received the appellation of “5 o’clock shadow. Seriously though, Chuck has climaxed his career as a debater by winning the Strieker Debating Cup in his sophomore and junior years. As president of the Dramatics Association this year, he brought a four years’ membership to a triumphant end with a dynamic portrayal of a pessimistic Irishman. Having a penchant for practical jokes, miscellaneous little known facts, and reciting Kipling at odd moments, Horn has received the title of Senator from the state of Collapse from his somewhat irreverent classmates. He has also livened that bane of all seniors, the Sound and Fury column, at many a TORCH meeting. Horn also showed his talent at more serious writing by taking second place in the Williams Theme contest this year. Two other activities must be mentioned here. Horn is one of the Blake School waiters, those singular fellows who can eat twice as much as any one else in one-half the time. He is also a confirmed member of the reinstated Fall and Spring Ski Jump Maintenance Crew. Chuck’s scholastic record can be summed up by the fact that he graduates as Valedictorian of his class. Outside of school Chuck’s chief interests are collecting jazz records, reading, fishing and Washburn High School. Horn is planning to go to the University of Minnesota after the war. 41 T II E CALL O F O’ PAN WILLIAM LOUIS HOWARD Entered Blake in 1937 ‘‘Bill ’ Navy “How vilely doth this cynic rhyme. “BUT. fellas. I tell ya it's a terrific idea!” If one listened with any degree of accuracy, he might hear these same lines day after day in the senior room. But no one does because it’s only Howard blowing off again. This man has had more “terrific” ideas with fewer materializing than the rest of the senior class put together. No one pities him though, for it makes him happy, and every once in a while he says funny things. Bill has been in Blake since the fourth grade. During this time he has been alternately hot and cold in his social life, but his happy appearance has made him a popular person wherever he goes. He was elected a member of the Union in his sophomore year, and was recently made president of the organization. His acting ability was displayed this winter in the Blake plays in the part of an Irishman. The Director spent five arduous weeks telling “Willis” he didn’t want a Negro accent, and after almost being physically beaten, he furnished the needed Irish brogue. Bill has acted as Business Manager of the TORCH and CALL O’ PAN. taking everything in stride. He has proved himself as a waiter for the last two years. Being a bit light, he turned to coaching football instead of playing last fall, and was daily seen with fifteen C Teamers beating him up. During the winter he played hockey, and has won three well deserved letters. He has received two letters playing in the infield of the baseball team. Bill expects to enter the navy soon after graduation, and after that he’s not quite sure what school it will be. He says Stanford, but Howard talks so much. . . . 42 F I V K NINETEEN FORTY ROBERT SRAMS HUNTER Entered Blake in 194 3 '‘Bob Harvard with a man. ROBERT Grams Hunter, alias “Bobby”, alias “Tombstone hails from the western village of Milbank. South Dakota. Born under a thatched roof which he still wears. Bob’s early life was spent in happy, irresponsible, “sloth and procrastination,” and then school! However, one cold, bleak winter night the Milbank school burned to the ground. Soon our doomed hero entered the sacred portals of Blake Country Day School. At first Bob was unhappy. but after he had lived at West House for a few months, his morale was considerably bolstered by the excellent care Blake gives its boarders. Bob's accomplishments include not only his ability to get along with everybody (including a certain Blake art critic), but also a valuable asset is his ability to make friends. Always tactful and cheerful. Bob has made many friends at Blake. Because of his popularity. Bob was elected to the Union last fall and became secretary of the organization in the February election. The field in which Bob has made history at Blake is public speaking in all phases. He has made an outstanding record seldotn equalled. This year Bob has won the Williams Theme contest, the Strieker Cup for debating, and the Thorpe Cup for extemporaneous speaking. He will also be remembered for his ability to rejuvenate many a dull public speaking period with a witty and humorous extemporaneous speech. Bob plans to attend Harvard and there is no doubt that he will earn a worthy reputation there—since here he is considered truly one of the best of the class of '45. Wit and wisdom are born —Selden 43 T II E CALL I A A O F O 9 JUSTUS FREDERICK LOWE, JR. Entered Blake in 1940 Justy Princeton Even though vanquished he could argue still.”—Goldsmith THE face that you see above is that of the class’s “oldtimer.” Justus Lowe. Justy entered our class in first grade, was a member of it through fourth grade, left us for several years, and finally rejoined us in Third Form. Then and there he began to show himself on the A team playing field. As the years passed, he migrated to the varsity fields and began to make more letters. This year he was a pugnacious left guard on Ray’s eleven. In hockey he has captured two varsity letters and has set a bit of a reputation for himself about the school. One of the terrors of the senior room — his greatest feat was bending a door key in a boy’s pocket with one blow of his trusty paddle. He has also served as a waiter. There Martha bestowed on him the nickname of “Tuffy” which seems to have stuck. Justy has become one of the leading intellects of the class and has several times led the class in monthly grades. In line with his studious and scientific nature, Justy has embarked upon a course of original technological research. He has after several years of intensive and gruelling labor discovered a previously unknown scientific principle (known as “Lowe’s Law’’) which has strangely enough never been observed and reported. Justy’s discovery seems to bid fair to eclipse the work of Newton. Boyle, and Snell. We hope he will continue his studies as they promise to be a boon to all of mankind. Justy plans to go to Princeton before he enters the Armed Forces, where we feel that he will continue to punch his way through to success. 44 X I X E T E E X F O IK T V F I V E DOUGLAS CLARARD MacAFEE Entered Blake in 1 944 “Doug” Army “When a Frenchman sleeps, the Devil rocks his cradle. —French proverb THOSE who saw the Blake plays this year will probably remember the voluble janitor in “It Will Be All Right on the Night. This decrepit but amazing character was none other than the senior class's gift to humanity. Doug MacAfee. Doug is the newest member of the class, having entered a year and a half ago. However, in this short time he has carved for himself a prominent place in the school. Although Doug is an American citizen, he has lived most of his life in France and as the French are a people of wine, women and song, so also is he. He is an ardent symphony fan and as a result, many of his Friday nights were sacrificed to opuses, fortissimos and various sharps and flats. But on Saturday nights our fair city prepared to kill the fatted calf, for the Prodigal Son was roaming the streets in the form of Douglas C. MacAfee. His French accent has an incredible effect on the fairer sex and you may rest assured that he uses it to the best advantage. His athletic life has been confined to tooling a basketball around the field-house floor, in a state of advanced refrigeration, during the winter, and playing softball in the spring. He has led many a “bull session” in the senior room and has doled out freely many useful and informative scraps of knowledge concerning Paris and environs. It is to be hoped that they will prove useful to us someday. Doug plans to enter Antioch when the army tires of him and we wish a swell guy lots of luck. 45 t ii i: I A AT O F CARGILL MacMILLAN, JR. Entered Blake in 1933 Mac'' Army Air Corps Sober, steadfast, and demure.”—Milton EVERY morning, rain or shine, a long, sleek, powerful. black, simonized Ford comes roaring up the Blake driveway to spew forth its human cargo. Behind the wheel, smiling benignly, is one of the most well-liked and respected members of the senior class, Cargill MacMillan. Mac has been with us as long as any Blake senior, having come to Blake in 1933. This powerhouse can be recognized by his rugged physique and dark tan, as he spends his spring vacations in sunny Florida. Mac also has a certain quality for which many underclassmen are thankful: he is humane. When certain transgressors are rewarded for their sins in the senior room. Mac seldom takes part. Instead of using his mighty shoulders to drive a paddle home, he has applied his talents to tennis, football, and hockey. Mac has made his football letter for two years, and this year was outstanding as one of Ray Smith's first team guards. The opposition always found it tough going through his part of the line. Mac also showed himself to be an excellent hockey player this year. He was a high scorer at left wing. His real talent, however, is for tennis, which team he captained this year. Playing in the number two singles slot, Mac powered through many an opponent. Outside of school. Mac has a strong interest in sailing, and last year acquired a boat and raced quite successfully at Minnetonka. Mac would certainly be a threat on the lake this summer, were it not for the fact that he will soon be invited to serve our country. He has been in the Army Air Corps Reserve since last summer. We all wish him the best of luck. 46 NINETEEN FORT Y F I V E PAUL JOHN McGOUGH, JR. Entered Blake in 1939 Paul Monk Army I'll woo her as the lion woos his bride. RUMOR has it that the grandfather of the character you see above was an orang-utan. Don't believe it! It was his great-grandfather and besides he was a gorilla. All kidding aside, though. Paul has made a name for himself for unequalled ruggedness and good humor ever since he entered these moldy walls six years ago. He has slaved for two years on Ray Smith’s football aggregation and has been awarded two letters for his pains. No little credit must be given to his amazing build for his athletic prowess. He is built like a brick smoke-house and is just as indestructible as is shown by the fact that he played one and a half quarters of hard football with a broken arm. His stocky frame may be seen any day participating in the destruction of the kitchen door, carrying a load of half-eaten food taken from the helpless charges under his command. As hockey manager this year he has, as Pete Parks said, kept the warming houses at constant 68° when the outside temperature was 70°. He has also kept the said houses in a state of perpetual fog of smoke from the civil war vintage stoves claiming that the smoke is good for the wind. Those who witnessed his astonishing facility for one-armed dancing proclaim that such an exhibition was never put on before by anyone, anywhere. Paul intends to pursue and catch his higher education at Georgetown, and if his good humor and bone crushing strength do not win him as many friends and admirers as he has won here at Blake we have sadly missed our guess. 47 T II E I A X O F CALL O’ JOSEPH CLEMENT MICHAEL, JR. Entered Blake in 1938 Mike'' Ed” Minnesota 'Around and around he goes, and where he stops nobody knows.”—Major Bowes WHEN Joe first entered Blake, his latent talents were as yet unsuspected. His sense of humor and pleasant personality were present then, but little did we realize his devastating effect on the members of the opposite sex. Then telephone numbers began to be important, and Mike’s starred list, comprehensive and broad, established him. Youthful research has been abandoned, and judging from the number of pictures on his bureau. Joe seems to have settled down. Scholastically. Joe has been on the honor roll periodically, yet during the past two years, more and more of his time has been absorbed as editor of the TORCH and CALL O’ PAN. Notes signed “Ed” appeared on the senior bulletin board with admonitions and instructions and were treated outwardly with amusement by the raucous inhabitants of the senior room and inwardly with respect. As a culmination of two years on the swimming team, Joe was awarded the Arthur Swimming Improvement Award. The members of the Union acknowledged Mike’s popularity by electing him president in 1944. Joe also took on the responsibility of co-coach of the C football team this year, and books on football strategy were scattered throughout his room. As an Upper School waiter Mike, however, showed no more compassion upon his charges than any other of the fiendish crew. Not to be neglected is mention of those 8th periods on Friday afternoons. Joe’s longstanding feud with Mr. Bryan has been a constant source of amusement to all seniors. Mike is planning to go to the “U“ to study medicine, and we are sure his personality will make him as many friends there as he has at Blake. 48 NINETEEN F O It T Y FIVE ROBERT DEANE MOYER Entered Blake in 1 944 Deane” Green Deane Minnesota Hardly a man is now alive that passed on a hill at 75. —Burma Shave A YEAR ago last winter this tall lad with the Little Abner haircut entered the class of 1945 from Washburn. From that time on he has been an active member of the class. This winter Deane Moyer turned his talents toward debating and joined that select group which assembles in Mr. Vaughan’s room on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at play period during the winter term. His arguments were so convincing that he was chosen to represent the negative in the annual Forum Debate. He has been a member of other extra-curricular groups. For the homecoming he donned a dress and wig and led the student body in a cheer as the school's homecoming queen. Not content with these few activities, he became one of the guiding spirits and most active members of that famous senior group—the Choral Club —which has done so much for the cause of hymn singing at Blake. Deane’s activities outside of school have also made him well known. He has been president, during the past year, of the Fellowship of the Plymouth Congregational Church, and as the head of this organization, he has planned many interesting programs for the young people of that church. Besides this position he was a member of not one but two choirs at that church. His other outside activities have also brought him fame and the nickname of Green Deane. However, he has shown that this name is not too appropriate. Deane plans to enter the University of Minnesota and believes that he will study law there. We are certain that his quiet, earnest manner which is often tempered with friendly exuberance will win him many friends in college and later life. 49 T II K I A N O F CALL O’ THOMAS RYAN MULCAHY Entered Blake in 1 940 Tom’' Mulk Navy “The secret of success is constancy of p u r pose. ’ ’—Disrael i BECAUSE Tom Mulcahy is a quiet, unassuming student, many boys in the school may not realize what an important member of the class of 1945 he is. l orn entered the present senior class in the middle of the winter term when our class was in 'T hird Form. Since then he has been one of the hardest working students in our class. His grades have always put him near the top of the class, and he ranked highest in his class during his last month at school. Quietly and steadily he has made a success of every job he has tackled at Blake. He worked as reporter for the TORCH, and his articles for the school paper were always excellent. Tom has taken an active part in music at Blake, and he was a member of the Glee Club for four years. Outside of school, music is also one of his chief interests. He probably knows more about classical music and the old masters than any other senior. Tom took the accelerated summer course, and in the middle of December he enlisted in the navy and was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training station. He thus became the first member of the present senior class to enter the Armed Forces. Since then he has visited at school while home on leave, and he has capably demonstrated that he has taken the navy in stride just as he has taken everything else. Tom has won many friends at Blake, and we all felt deep regret that he could not finish his entire senior year with us. After the war Tom plans to enter Georgetown. We are sure that he will continue to make his mark there as he has at Blake. 50 I K T i: E N F I V E F O IK T Y AMOS BROOKS NAFFZIGER Entered Blake in 1940 Naffy” Navy CUM LAUDE “A soul as white as snow.”—Beaumont and Fletcher HERE, ladies and gentlemen, we have Amos Brooks Naffziger, certainly one of our class's most outstanding members. Way back in Third Form he joined our midst. When our class entered the Upper School, we were almost at once beset by a continuous series of temptations. As the years went by the members of our class fell victim to these temptations. However. Brooks did not fall. He didn't even stagger. Today he stands as a monument to American youth—100% pure, 100% good Naffziger. Besides being a paragon of virtue he has also been a leader in many other activities. He was. in his senior year, president of the Glee Club, a member of the Union, winner of the Williams Trophy, and a member of the Student Council. On the playing field he has won letters in baseball and hockey. But it has been in football that he has shown his greatest prowess. Crazy legs has often thrilled the fans as he has wended his way through the assorted giants of the opposition when he has been touchdown bound. Brooks was high-scorer on Ray Smith's eleven last fall, and his superb performance during the never-to-be-forgotten game with West, coupled with his sterling play at left-half won him the Williams Trophy at the conclusion of the season. Naffy’s hospitality is famous. Numerous times the Naffziger larder has been decimated after a dance because there was an open house at Naffzigers’. A good nature and a sunny disposition have made him one of the best liked members of the class. We wish him the best of luck in the armed forces and at Yale, the college of his choice. 51 THE € A L L O ’ P A N O E ALAN GARRIGUES SMITH Entered Blake in 1 940 ”Smitty” Navy “I'll speak with a monstrous little voice. ’ —Shakespeace A FRIENDLY, likeable fellow. A1 entered the renowned class of '45 back in the dim days when, it was toiling through the Third Form. His classmates soon discovered that they had gained a valuable member for throughout his entire career at Blake A1 has been a leader in extra-curricular activities. The Union realized what he was doing for the school, and accordingly he was elected to that organization in his senior year. Any profound discussion in the senior room will invariably find Smitty one of its foremost contenders, and in his lighter moods his witty quips have at once been the joy and humiliation of his fellow seniors. Although a fit of annoyance will seize him at times, his good-natured smile is sure to shine forth at some unexpected moment and dispel any bad feelings. As a debater the art of give and take has never been so highly developed within these time-honored walls as when Smitty attempts to disprove one of Mr. Lundholm’s “mathematical classics” or one of Mr. Hodgkinson's scientific hypotheses. Smitty first gained distinction on the Swimming team, where he began garnering letters in his sophomore year. Last fall as football manager he assisted Mr. Smith’s team in no small way, and in the dramatics department he presented a well-acted role in “Spreading the News.” In his junior year A1 made an enviable record for himself as a waiter and received this year a most coveted position, that of head waiter. A1 has always planned to study medicine: but until the navy has been appeased by the aid of his valuable services, he will not be able to continue his studies at Minnesota. But whether KP or MD, A1 is sure to gain the admiration and respect of all those with whom he comes in contact. 52 FIVE NINETEEN F O It T Y NATHANIEL STEVENS, II, JR. Entered Blake in 1938 Steve Nat Army Air Corps A lion among the ladies is a dreadful thing.”—Shakespeare A MEMBER of long standing in the class of 1945, Steve is recalled by his classmates as never having been content to “sling the bull” until he had grabbed the proverbial animal by the tail and swung it around his head. Steve has worked hard on the athletic field, and this year played in the backfield on Coach Smith's eleven. He helped the team out of many a tight spot with his punting ability. He has played hockey for two years and this season proved himself indispensable at the defense position. Steve headed for baseball this spring and played an excellent season in the outfield. His contribution to the Blake Glee Club has been no small one for he has been a mainstay of this organization since his freshman year, and would have been this year had the club not been disbanded. Steve has been on Miss Berglund’s waiting staff for two years and has worked as a stage hand in the Dramatics Club for the same amount of time. He has always had a warm greeting for everyone and could be found supplementing the morning gossip fests in the senior room with detailed accounts of the “line” he used on the last woman. No senior room riot starts without his active participation as he has been a constant source of life in the class. Steve is eventually headed for Yale, but as he joined the Army Air Corps Reserve last summer, he is in doubt as to whether he will be called before he has a chance at college. Wherever he goes, however, we all wish him the best of luck. 53 T II E C A L L I� A - O ¥ O ROBERTSON ANDREW STRUTHERS Entered Blake in 1941 “Robbie” Navy Thus. I steer my bark and sail on even keel.”—Green WHEN Robbie left our class last February to enter Radar, we lost a valuable athlete and a good student. He was one of four who slaved last summer in these musty walls for eight weeks in order to graduate in February and was one of three who passed the navy Radar test. He entered our class in the Fourth Form and has since made a record for himself as a hard worker and swell fellow. Robbie held that coveted job of overseer in the Blake Pig Sty. better known as the dining room, and has upheld the reputation of the Headwaiters Brotherhood for doing as little work as possible in as long a time as possible. His sole muscular activity in the aforementioned job seems to have been connected with slamming the dining room door at the appropriate moment in order to procure silence for the grace, a truly difficult task. He was too light to play varsity football this year, but he did yeoman duty on the J.V. team, playing in the backfield. Robbie was a key member of the track squad last year and his basketball ability was a valuable asset to Harold's Hardwood Hepcats this year. As an ardent sailing enthusiast, he could be seen almost any afternoon last summer bailing out his floating coffin in preparation for another bout with Lake Calhoun. We have never learned much about his social life for he kept it surrounded with a veil of secrecy, but rumor has it that he did come out of his hermitage once in a while to brighten some lonely female's life. Robbie plans to attend the U” after the war and we wish a swell guy lots of luck. 54 I E T i: E F O IK T V F I V E CHARLES WILMOT TOWNSEND Entered Blake in 1941 “Bill Harvard CUM LAUDE “Men of few words are the best men. —Shakespeare SINCE the Fourth Form when Bill entered Blake, hardly a month has gone by in which he has not made either the first or second honor roll. He claims that he has so many half-holiday cards stuck in his mirror that he can't see himself any more. Although Bill’s continuous effort is largely responsible for his scholastic success, perhaps his independence from the fairer sex enters into the picture. However, lately he has come out of his hermitage and captivated the girls with his flashing smile and his outstanding freckles with no apparent slump in those honor grades. Bill was elected to the Union in the spring term of his junior year because of his all-round participation in school activities. He has been a member of the glee club for four years and this year achieved the ultimate goal of every Blake singer, a position as tenor of the quartet. Because of his willing spirit, he not only held the job of circulation manager on the TORCH, a job which requires hours of stamp licking and address hunting, but also served as the TORCH’s alumni editor. For two years Bill has gone to the junior school every afternoon to coach the Blake football stars of the future. Although he admits that the little fellows get on his nerves sometimes, they still haven’t succeeded in driving him to distraction, which proves that he has an even temper and that he has a good nature. Like many other seniors, Bill’s plans for the future are rather undecided. However, he does plan to get in at least a quarter at college before going into the service. Whatever he does, his quiet, studious attitude is bound to show him the road to success. 55 T II E I A A O F V A L L O LESLIE WELTER WALLWORK Entered Blake in 1943 “Les” Harvard “Why. man. he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus.”—Shakespeare DESPITE all reports to the contrary, Moorhead has produced something of worth, for from its environs has come Les Wallwork, intellect superior. Despite frequent jibes about his height (6 ft., 6 in.), Les gracefully rises above it all. Les divides human society into two parts: those who wear suits from the Varsity Shop, i.e., boors, peasants, and serfs, and those who wear tailored suits (himself). Les has an extreme predilection for cashmere sweaters and is never happier than when a new shipment of ties comes in from New York. One of the most literary-minded creatures of the class, Wallwork is adamant concerning the virtues of Bennett over Galsworthy. He is no less sharply satirical of Minneapolis bourgeoisie. Such disparagement sometimes has grave consequences, and Les finds himself without shoes. His deepest interest is in the theatre and in classical music. His knowledge of both is deep and broad, although maliciously described as culled from the miscellaneous files of the New York Times. When not visiting Mizpah Congregational Church, he is often to be seen traveling into town via the Yellow Rocket to meet with the Good Society. He has apparently been influenced by the Humanists, for he grabs plates away from his little charges who are still eating, in the true fashion of Blake waiters. Les showed his prowess to every one by winning a letter on the Swimming 'Learn this year. Wallwork envisions a penthouse in New York, a summer home in Connecticut, a seasonal ticket to the Met., a select group of friends a la Marquand in his So Little Time, and perhaps a red limestone villa on the Riviera. Les is traveling towards these goals via a typical route, Harvard. 56 NINETEEN I O II T Y FIVE DAVID RIPLEY WEST, JR. Entered Blake in 1936 Rip’’ Skipper Navy CUM LAUDE With a morbid propensity toward sloth and procrastination.”—Macaulay THIS genial chap entered our ranks in 1936 and has been with us ever since. Somewhere along the way he picked up the name of “Rip.” Since Rip went to summer school, he had only two subjects during the fall term, and so he was often to be seen stretched out on the couch in the senior room. With a twinkle in his eyes and a leer on his face, Rip used to participate in caustic duels with his less gifted classmates. He put these satirical talents to good use at Publications meetings. Rip’s red hair was a familiar sight on the athletic fields. He captained the football team after winning his letter for three years. Rip also won three letters as a member of the baseball team. In winter he would join Lundholm’s cohorts and play bucketball in the fieldhouse. Rip’s popularity is shown by the fact that he was elected to the Union in his sophomore year. He also served on the student council for two years and served as a Blake waiter for the same period. West showed his endurance by taking four years of Latin, the last year in a class of one with Mr. Foss. Rip’s experiments outside of school in physics were amazing, to say the least. He was almost able to reach absolute zero in an experiment with dry” ice. His scholastic record is summed up by the fact that he graduated Cum Laude in February. From Blake Skipper went down to Great Lakes for boot camp and then into Radio Technician school. It is safe to assume that Skipper will make his mark in the navy as he has done at Blake. 57 T II E CALL I A A O F O ’ STEPHEN COFFIN WYER Entered Blake in 1 937 '‘Steve” Army “His foe was folly and his wisdom wit. —Hawkins STEVE WYER is one of those boys who joined the class of 1945 in the Junior School when it was just forming, and came with it up to the Upper School. Thus, since most of us can recall, Steve has been with the class, and so have his witty remarks. Steve pitched right in at football and jumped from the A team to spend the season holding down a rugged center position on the varsity. For three years he has been a speedy forward on Perk Galbraith's hockey team, and has been good for many a shot into the cage. Steve played tennis last year, but this spring his spot will have to be filled, for he is now in the service. When he went into the army, Blake lost one of its best leaders. For the last two years Steve was secretary-treasurer of his class. Elected to the Union when a sophomore, he served a term as secretary of the organization for the first half of this year. Steve was president of the second-hand book store, a new business venture and the first one of its kind in school history. He showed dramatic talent this year as an Irish farmer in one of the annual plays. Steve has long been socially prominent as the most “tied down member of the class. He was always in on everything that went on in the senior room and. after donating a couch, helped to mangle it. Our loss was great when Steve was drafted, and we wish him all the luck in the world while doing his bit for Uncle Sam. 58 N INET E E F I V E F O It T Y Back Row: Day, B. Cohen. Raines. Ward.

Edwin Bid well and Burt Cohen; and after an absence of one year, during which he was at Thacher, Carroll Crawford returned to our class. About the middle of the year Winter Ensign came to Blake from West High. At the end of the fall term David Ziskin left for Washburn. Early in the year John Hutchinson was elected president of the class, Scott Donaldson vice-president, and Charles DeLaittre secretary-treasurer. This year Hutchinson and Ward were the junior representatives on the council. Although the scholastic average of the class as a whole was not up to our previous standards, Jim Ward, our top man scholastically, consistently held one of the highest averages in the school, and Cohen, Roberts, Webb, Ueland, Hutchinson. Donaldson comprised the upper fourth of the class. Bill Kuechle was the head of photography for the Blake Publications. Reporters from the junior class were Donaldson, Ward. Ryan and Hutchinson. Ryan, Duff and Donaldson had parts in the Blake Plays, presented in January. In football last year Clifford and Ward, who was elected captain for next year, won varsity letters. Letters in hockey were awarded to DeLaittre, Ward and Crawford. Two of the strongest men on the swimming team were Raines and Day; and Raines, Ward and DeLaittre went out for golf. Scott Donaldson was number one man on the tennis team again this year. We wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Mr. Lundholm for his helpful assistance as our class adviser this year. —John Hutchinson, President. 61 THE « A L L I A O F O ’ Back row: Phillips.

SOPHOMORES T HE OPENING of school last fall brought into our class of 1947 three new members. They were Ethan Deinard. John Dill, and Pierce Olson. The results of the elections were as follows: Holcombe, president; Hartwell, vice president; and Maefadden, secretary-treasurer. Throughout the year the class ranked high scholastically with Johnson. Melin, Deinard. and Pogue helping the class average immensely. In extra-curricular activities, our class was represented in dramatics by Hcegaard, Hartwell, Maefadden. Raynolds, Selover, and Wylie. On the publications staff we had Maefadden. Howard. Wylie, and Raynolds as reporters. On the football field last fall Doug Johnson was our outstanding participant on the varsity. Jim Howard and John Hartwell were also outstanding as the captains of the Junior Varsity and A team, respectively. There were also many other boys playing on the Junior Varsity and the A team. In the winter many boys played hockey: Hartwell, Holcombe, and Maefadden made their varsity letters. On the swimming team George Dayton, sophomore record-breaker, Charles Kelly, and Bill Taylor won their letters. When the time for the Brown and White boxing tournament came around, we had ten out of the sixteen finalists from our class. This spring most of the boys are out for baseball and tennis. We are represented on the golf team by Dick Pogue. In concluding we would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Smith, and all the other masters for their patient help and consideration throughout this year. —Dwight HOLCOMBE, President. 62 1 E T E E IV F I V E F O IK T Y Back row: Dalgleish.

FRESHMEN LAST year on l ap Day Bruce Cameron was elected to the student council for 1944-45. This year the freshmen elected class officers as follows: president. Bruce Cameron: vice-president, Jim Leslie: secretary-treasurer. Bud Floback. Football season this fall found the freshmen contributing to both the Junior Varsity team and the A team. Outstanding players on the Junior Varsity were: Fritz Drill and Matt Loufek: on the A team, Aurand. Bissel, T. Brown, Helmick, Holmgren, and Leslie. This winter three sports claimed freshmen. The first of these, swimming, was fortunate in having Adams and Larson as the school's only divers. Also helping out in the dashes were Wasie and Gamble. Down on the hockey rinks could be found three good freshmen playing on the Junior Varsity team—namely, Auraund, Bruzek, and Drill. Out in the field house were found the freshman forwards for the Varsity Basketball team, Linman and Norton. Also on the freshman team, which won both games played, were Norton, Linman, Bissel, Fahr, Dalgleish, and Cameron. In the three plays presented in the winter by the Dramatics Association, one freshman, Bruce Cameron, took part. Leading the Fourth Form, and also the Upper School, in scholastic standing, was Robin McKinnon-Wood with an average of 93%. In the Boxing Tournament, held in the field house, one freshman, Drill, fought a beautiful fight against Lowe, a senior. Drill lost the decision for the light-heavyweight division by a close margin, and took runner-up. The spring term found Linman on the Varsity diamond and many of the other boys taking active parts in tennis and A team baseball. We of the Fourth Form wish to thank Mr. Vaughan, our class-adviser, for the timely advice he has given us. We are sure a better adviser is not to be had. —Bruce Cameron, President. 63 T II E CALL I A N O F O ’ Back row: Chisholm. Dwinnell. Groves, S. Krogness. Seed, B. Pattee. Ringiand. R. Moyer.

During the school year Charles Hommeyer. William Seed, and James Thrasher entered our class. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Crawford, president: Scherer, vice-president: Selover. treasurer. Last fall the majority of the class played football, and the following received letters on the A team: Dwinnell. Groves. Jamieson. Scherer, and Seed. Crawford. Curtin, Krogness, MacMillan. Palm, Selover. and Winston won letters on the B team. Pattee played on the Junior Varsity. In the winter most of the boys played hockey, and some skiied. The basketball team played one game, and it was played at Deephaven. Those who played on the team were: Crawford, Hommeyer, Moyer. Palm, and Scherer. During the spring the boys played baseball and tennis. Scholastically. Ringiand, Grossman, Jamieson, and Owen have all had good averages this year. All of the boys were in the Christmas play, and those boys who entered the Wilson Cup Contest were: Joe Ringiand. Bert Pattee. Don Curtin. Allan Grossman, and John Cornelius. Those who were industrious and sold ads for the CALL O’ PAN were: Selover. Stevens, and Crawford. We all wish to thank Mr. Glenn and all the other masters who have helped us in preparation for high school. 64 Richard Crawpord, President. i i: t i: e n F O IK T Y F I V E Back row: A. Hartwell.

SECOND FORM WE opened the school year with two C's and a B—Cardie, Cohen, and Bingham were the new additions to the class, bringing our number to an even two dozen. At the first meeting, class officers were elected: Bennett as vice-president, and Klass as secretary. Mr. Runkle was chosen our class adviser for the year. Enthusiasm for sports was shown by the members as fifteen boys won their coefficient letters in football—Bingham. Cross. Gluek. Klass. and Lowe won letters on the B team—Ankeny, Boise, Bennett. Cohen. Eck. Hartwell, McCarthy. Sandberg, and Cardie won letters on the C team. Winter found the interest divided between hockey and basketball. Baseball is the leading sport this spring, and several boys seem to be future prospects for Chief Wonson. Chope and Neumeier are taking daily workouts on the tennis courts. Gibbs, Sandy, Thore-sen, Eastman, and Winton show their interest along military lines by their enthusiasm for calisthenic drill. Scholarship is also an achievement of the group. Top honors in the school have been consistently held by Ankeny and Boise, with Stiles and Slocum pushing the leaders. Wrench and Bingham have also been regularly found on the honor roll. Our class has held the scholarship plaque since the first month of school. Eck. .Stiles, and Chope represented our form in the Wilson Cup Speaking Contest. We wish to thank our masters, personal advisers, athletic directors, and especially Mr. Runkle, our class adviser, for their counsel and help during the past year. 65 —Robert Gluek, President. t ii i: C A I.

Those who have been on second honors are McCarthy. Sandy. Scherer. Shevlin, Skoglund. Drill, and Hiatt. David Boies and David Strieker were on the first honor roll with consistently high grades. Almost all the boys played football. Eighteen boys were on the C team: six boys were on the B team: and John Clark worked out with the A team. Most of the boys won their football letters. Half of the boys in the First Form played hockey and basketball during the winter. In the spring term a large part of the boys in our class tried out for baseball, adding to the success of the B and C teams. 'The First Form has been one of the top forms in the war stamp purchases. Our class has purchased more stamps than any other form. It came in second in the race to Tokyo which was held by the school. David Adams purchased the most stamps in our form. Mr. Wonson kept the record of the number of stamps bought each week by means of a chart. On behalf of the First Form. I wish to thank Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Parks, and Mr. Wonson. our adviser, for helping us make this year a very successful one. 66 —Muzzy Crosby. President. X I X E T E E X F O II T V F I V E Back Row: Cameron. Ward.

STUDENT COUNCIL AGAIN this year the student council has continued its efficient but unheralded work of regulating all student activities and of acting as a medium between the faculty and students in all matters of school interest. Some of the many activities in which the council was engaged this year are listed here. Every Monday the chapel service was conducted by one of its members. The date and opponent of the Homecoming game were decided upon by the council and a committee was chosen to make all necessary preparations. The war fund and the Christmas fund for the help were conducted under its leadership. The most important task of the council this year, however, was the sponsoring of the sale of over $3,000 in war stamps and bonds. Three of the best dances in Blake’s history were also held under the leadership of the council —the Football dance, whose committee was appointed by council action; the Christmas dance, which was run by the senior members of the council; and the spring dance, which was sponsored by the two junior members. Also as in the past the council took charge of the publication of the “B” Book for next year. The senior members of the council this year were Shorty Finch, Tot Heffelfinger, and Rip West, who was replaced by Brooks Naffziger when he went into the navy. John Hutchinson and Jim Ward were the Sixth Form’s representatives. Bill Macfadden represented the Fifth Form and Bruce Cameron the Fourth. Many thanks are also due Mr. Alder for his advice and knowledge while acting as adviser for this organization. 69 T II E C A L L l� A A O F O Back Row: C. Horn. Groth. F. Gamble. Finch. A. Smith.

UNION THE Blake Union is a school organization which meets every two or three weeks. After dinner the members assemble in the library to speak and to discuss school affairs. The membership consists of juniors and seniors, and its purpose is to further the interests of public speaking, and give the boys practice in parliamentary procedure. Each year the Union awards a medal to the winner of the Fifth Form declamation contest. 'T hree speeches are made at each session of the Union. Prepared speeches are made by one student and one faculty member, and an extemporaneous speaker is drawn by lot. Besides these, school matters of current interest are discussed. Many plans for the betterment of the school have been formulated in the Union. The book store is one of these which has been put across very successfully this year. At the last regular meeting before the Union dinner the senior papers are read. These are documents drawn up by the senior members of the Union, which offer constructive criticism of Blake. The dinner is attended by boys already in the Union and newly-elected members. Their fathers are also invited. The Union owes much to Mr. Foss who directed the organization through another very successful year.

DEBATING THIS year, as has been done in the past, the Blake Debating Team chose the national topic, so that they would be able to debate with other high schools. The topic was: “Resolved: that the legal voting age should be lowered to 18 years.” The team was under the able instruction of Mr. Vaughan for the second year, and it is hoped that he will be able to coach it in years to come. Transportation was obtained by some members of the team. This year’s affirmative team was made up of Charles Horn. Bill Groth. Pat Ryan, and Roscoe Webb. Debating for the negative were Bob Hunter. Deane Moyer. Hal Wylie, and Archie Spencer. Debates were held with St. Louis Park, Roosevelt, and Southwest High Schools. The annual school debate was presented on March 14 in the Chapel. Here the affirmative was upheld by Charles Horn and Bill Groth, while Bob Hunter and Deane Moyer presented their arguments for the negative. This debate was of great interest to the entire school, as it is now a vital topic. The faculty voted Bob Hunter the best debater, and he was awarded the Strieker Cup. Based on votes taken before and after the debate, the negative team won the debate. The prospects for next year’s debating team are only fair, for the four mainstays of the team, all of whom took part in the school debate, are graduating. There are many boys interested in debating in the school now, and they are urged to join the team next year. 71 T II E C A L L I A A O F O ’ Back Row: Brown. Hayes. Kuechlc. Kelly. Macfaddcn, J.

The format employed bolder and newer type headlines in a more diversified manner, and introducing some other brand new features and columns. Since the prime object of the TORCH board was to print the pulse and “feel of all school activities, particular stress was laid upon the editorials and the Faculty Column. The feature column was continued and Hunter’s feature on Johnny Hartmann was outstanding. A new column. Stuff and Junk, which speaks for itself, was started by Jim Park and continued until he left for the navy. The old Platter-Patter column was reinstated after several years’ absence by Fred Gamble. Sport-Lites was also continued under the guidance of Shorty Finch. The Sound and Fury column used more discretion this year and yet continued in popularity. The TORCH printed the two prizewinning Williams Themes. Greater play was given to school activities, and as a result there were more pictures in this year’s paper than in any other year. Their excellence was due to our photographer. Bill Kuechle. A six page edition for the homecoming game was started in 1943 and brought out again this year. It is the hope of the TORCH board that this practice will be continued. The staff of the TORCH labored hard this year, and their efforts were rewarded. The TORCH took a second place rating in the private school division of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, which has 1400 members. CALL O’ PAN IN THIS book, the CALL O’ PAN of 1945, you will find few departures from the standards and forms of previous years. As has been the case in recent years, the war has placed definite limitations on the printing of this book. Any plans for a change in the cover of the book must be postponed until after the war. It was hoped that the rough paper division pages of former years could be restored this year, but it was discovered that such paper could not be obtained. The publications board was confronted with the additional task of finding some other source of funds when it became apparent that the Glee Club could not present its annual concert to raise funds for the CALL O’ PAN. The editors of the CALL O’ PAN and members of the student council decided to replace this lost source of income with a dance, the proceeds of which went to the publications. The result of the labors of this year’s publications board is now in your hands. Those who were in charge of the publishing of this book wish to thank all the students who either worked on the CALL O' PAN directly or who sold ads to support it. We also desire to thank the firms and individuals who advertised in the CALL O’ PAN. Lastly, the staff hopes that the results of their efforts meet with the approval of the faculty and the students. Especially do we hope that we have presented a worthy and accurate history and survey of the class of 1 945. 73 T II E CALL I A IV O F O ’ Back Row: R. Brown. MacAfee. Groth. Gamble. W. Howard.

DRAMATICS ASSOCIATION FOR the thirtieth successive year the Blake Dramatics Association presented a program of one-act plays. On January 19. a large audience of students, parents, and friends of the school came to the Woman s Club Auditorium to witness three one-act plays, including a melodrama, an Irish folk-play, and a modern farce. The plays presented were considerably longer than most of those given in previous years. The plays also had larger casts than usual. “THE HAND OF SIVA” Henri Durot..................................Totton Heffelfinger Captain Ashby................................... Justus Lowe Major Wellington.......................................William Groth Kodah Kahn.......................................John Clifford Mahib .............................................David Duff This famous melodrama was the first offering. The original setting was France during the first World War, but the scene was shifted to North Africa and the time to that of the present conflict for the modernizing effect. The plot, one of intrigue, concerns the capture of a dangerous spy. Henri Durot of French Military Intelligence sets out to help Captain Ashby, an Englishman, to find a spy who has stolen important documents. Durot secretly suspects Major Wellington, though suspicion is also thrown on the native. Kodah Kahn, by the servant Mahib. Durot, who also believes Wellington to be the German agent, Von Frantzins, spills hot coffee on his wrist in an attempt to discover whether he has a scar like the one said to have been inflicted on Von Frantzins by a group of Hindu priests. Wellington attempts a getaway when his true identity is discovered, but Kodah Kahn slays him. -74 NINETEEN F O II T V F 1 V E “SPREADING THE NEWS” Removable Magistrate Jo Muldoon...........

It illustrated the unfortunate result of common gossip and misunderstanding. The accident which occurred when Bartley Fallon upsets his wife’s basket is greatly enlarged upon by the gullible villagers until a rumor arises that Bartley has murdered Jack Smith and fled to America with Jack’s wife. When Bartley returns from an errand he hears the news of Jack's death. Not knowing that he is suspected, he tells the removable magistrate and Jo Muldoon. the policeman, what he has heard before the astounded townspeople, Shawn Early, James Ryan, Tim Casey. Mrs. Tarpey. and Mrs. Tully, all of whom think Bartley guilty of the “crime.” An already confusing situation is complicated when the “dead” man. Jack Smith, returns. At the end of the play the suspicious magistrate arrests both men, thinking that the appearance of this “unreal Jack Smith is an attempt to free Bartley.

The irritable coach and the rather unintelligent author of a play are thwarted at every turn as they try to get some acting out of a group of devil-may-care high school youngsters. Tom. Dick. Harry, Ben, and Props are assisted in trying to enrage the coach by the difficulties which arise after the arrival of Frenchy, the janitor, and the Italian piano tuner. The particular words, “It Will Be All Right On The Night,'1 infuriate the coach. When the coach catches himself saying those dreaded words, he collapses and the play ends. This was believed by many to be one of the funniest farces ever given. A great deal of credit for the success of the plays belongs to Mr. Lauren Brink, who coached the presentations, and to property manager Pat Ryan and his stagehands. 75 T II E CALI I A AT O F O Back Row: V.

STUDENT ADVISORY THIS year a Student Advisory Board was re-established at Blake. The board consisted of a number of seniors, picked because it was believed they would be competent in guiding younger boys. Each member of the board was given two or three new boys whom he was expected to aid and advise throughout the school year. The student advisory board was generally regarded as a success this year, as often the younger new boys preferred to talk things over with an older student rather than approach a faculty member with their problems.

This year's play was presented by the Third Form alone, while in previous years the entire Lower School took part. The program started with the singing of a carol. John Cornelius introduced the program with a brief address of welcome, after which the Glee Club sang a number. The play was entitled “Abiding in the Fields. and was based on the thoughts of our service men all over the world at Christmas. The first scene showed Stephen Krogness as a boy in camp. In the second scene, Ross Moyer was a boy in the Aleutians: Bert Pattee and Charles Sweatt played the parts of fliers in the next scene. Allen Grossman played a seaman on watch. All these scenes were very realistically enacted. Between various scenes the Glee Club sang: “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” “When T his Blinkin' War Is Over.” “Dance My Comrades. “Sea Song. and “Silent Night. The Glee Club’s musical background helped greatly toward the success of the play. The final scene was an island in the Pacific. Joseph Ringland, Craig Dwinnell. Duncan MacMillan, Donald Curtin, William Seed. Raymond Scherer. Richard Crawford. Bert Pattee, John Selover, and the remainder of the boys in the Third Form took part in this scene and handled it very successfully. The directing was handled very efficiently by Mrs. Nunan, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Allen. The lighting was handled by Mr. Marvin Hannibal and Mr. Richard Spear. The scenery was constructed by Mr. Westmark and Pat Ryan. This year’s Third Form has established a new high in this Christmas entertainment, and the long-standing tradition has been ably upheld. SECOND-HAND BOOK STORE ALTHOUGH a second-hand book department for a time functioned in the school, it was at length discontinued: but last spring, owing to the need of such an organization. Bob Raines began another book store, this time in the form of a corporation. The purpose of this corporation was to provide secondhand books for the students and to give a little business experience to everyone connected with the store. During the spring term shares of stock were issued which were sold to students and faculty members. In order that all of the stock remain in the school, the shares of stock owned by boys leaving the school are bought back by the store at 1 10 per cent of cost. In order that the store may have a good supply of books to sell during the year, books are bought from the students in June to be resold during the coming year. After the general meeting of the stockholders in the spring term, in which the financial report of the previous year is presented and two new officers for the next year's board of directors are elected, the dividends are declared if the return has been sufficient. The board of directors this year consisted of Steve Wyer, president: Jim Ward, vice president; Shorty Finch, treasurer: Tim Ueland, secretary, and Mr. Phillips, adviser. 77 T II E A L I I A O F O ’ Townsend.

All boys chosen have richly deserved this honor, since each new member has had to maintain a consistently high average throughout his high school career to receive this distinction. Blake can be proud of the fact that each of the candidates has a long list of accomplishments in sports and extra-curricular activities. The boys chosen this year were Charles L. Horn. Jr., with an average of 84.56; Totton P. Heffelfinger, Jr., 83.81 ; David R. West. Jr., 83.35: Charles W. Townsend. 81.17; William I. Groth, 78.98; A. Brooks Naffziger. 77.68. The initiation dinner was held on May 4. with a host of regular and honorary members present, as well as faculty members and the fathers of the boys honored. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Arnold Lowe, who discussed the influence of reading and various types of books on an individual. A few words concerning the nature of the Cum Laude society do not seem inappropriate. The organization is nation-wide in scope, having chapters in a number of the better-known preparatory schools of the nation. Each year certain boys and girls are elected to membership from the graduating class of each school possessing membership in the society. The students are admitted on a basis of scholarship and character, so that the Cum Laude society is to the high school what the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity is to the college. Although the organization had its inception in 1906, when it was founded to reward and encourage high ranking students. Blake did not become a member until February 12. 1927. In the years since then, however, it has had the opportunity of swelling the society's ranks with many outstanding young men of achievement and promise. 78 NINETEEN F O 1ST Y FIVE Charles C.

WAITERS THE job of waiting on tables during the noonday meal was ably performed by the student waiters again this year. It is considered an honor to be selected from the long list of Sixth and Seventh Form boys who apply for this job. When Blake was first established at Hopkins, the student system of waiting was not used; but. after several years, the present system was formed as a democratic measure. The headwaiters this year were Robertson Struthers and William Groth in the lower school and Alan Smith in the upper school. Regular waiters receive their meals free of charge or an equivalent cash payment, and the headwaiters with their extra duties are paid 25 cents extra per day. Like every one else, the waiters have felt the demands of the war. Six boys, Bones, West, Wyer, Smith, Chapman, and Struthers were lost to the services during the course of the year. Although rationing has made it impossible to get as much meat and butter as formerly, special credit is due to Miss Berglund who. as dietitian, has seen to it that there was still an excellent meal on the table every day. MISS BERGLUNDS CHOICE FOR BEST WAITERS UPPER SCHOOL....................Stephen Wyer LOWER SCHOOL......................David West 80 N I i: T E E FORTY FIVE FORUM ALTHOUGH the Forum is one of the organizations most recently set up at Blake, it already has become an important part of our school life. This year the general Forum topic was “Races and Nations, and their relation to the United States. The Forum Committee, composed of three faculty members. Mr. Alder, Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Vaughan, as well as two students, Charles Horn and Scott Donaldson, arranged a program of eight forums to acquaint the school concerning the problems of the United States in respect to both internal and international relations. Men who were well qualified to speak on the problems of the United States minority groups, the positions of the belligerents after the war, and the roles of prominent countries with regard to the United States, were found and brought to Blake. The first Forum speaker of 1944-45 was Mr. Dan Schmoker. who gave a very clear picture of the necessity of harmony, not only with foreign allies and enemies, but also with the racial minorities at home. “Does Democracy Draw a Color Line? was the subject of an excellent address by the talented Mr. Cecil Newman. The election Forum, held on November third, revealed that an overwhelming majority of Blake students favored Dewey over Roosevelt. Mr. Cleveland, who stated, “Why I Shall Vote for Dewey, was opposed by Mr. Phillips, who presented the Democratic viewpoint. Rabbi Minda highlighted the Jewish problem for the enlightenment of the school. Another excellent meeting, perhaps the most interesting meeting of the year, took place before a very large group of students and masters on Feb. 13. George Grim, who recently held the position of director of the Chinese Foreign Broadcasting System under Chiang Kai-Shek, discussed the topic, “China, on an informal basis, calling for any sort of questions concerning China and answering queries by means of the amazing store of facts at his command. Mr. Grim gave the audience a fascinating insight into the life of one of the greatest nations of the world. The series of programs presented this year will long be remembered for their variety and interest. The Forum has a special place at Blake in these wartime days, for it is through the programs presented by this organization that Blake students are led to understand their great neighbors across the ocean. Only a complete understanding will lead to the peace so earnestly sought by the Allied Nations. Through such interesting and pertinent topics as 1945's “Races and Nations, the Forum Committee has managed to popularize its meetings to an extent undreamed of several years ago. By attending these sessions, one can keep up on current affairs, a very desirable accomplishment in these days of world-shaking events. If the excellent program of this and previous school years can be continued, there never need be any fear of the dissolution of the Forum. Although many organizations fail at Blake, the reason for failure nearly always may be attributed to a lack of interest on the part of the school as a whole, and if the attendance of 1944-45 meetings may be used as a citable measuring stick, the Blake Forum will become an institution as firmly established and respected as dramatics or publications. 81 T II E f A L I.

Mr. Bryan, aided and abetted by Mr. Jones and Mr. Demos, has continued as the head of the Boarding Department of Blake School. Although few, if any. startling innovations have been made in West House’s way of life, this season has not remained unbroken by the escapades and experiences usually attendant upon dormitory life. Scholastic attainment has been about average with Roberts, Wallwork, Pogue, and Cameron consistently achieving honor roll marks. One member of our group, Jim Park, was called to the armed services at the end of the fall term. No other boarders have dropped out, however. Pcppard, Phillips, and Wasie have boarded for short periods throughout the year. In spite of the many problems which this war has called upon Mr. Bryan and his staff to cope with, the West House boy has continued to receive the same considerate, individual attention that has been so happily his during the past. Mr. Wilhelmus B. Bryan, Director Mr. Howard F. Jones Mr. James Demos 82 NT INETEE F O It TV FI V E PUBLIC SPEAKING UNDER the tutelage of Mr. Bryan in the Upper School and Mrs. Nunan in the Lower School, public speaking took a major position this year in the field of extra-curricular activities at Blake. The chapel speeches were of excellent caliber. As is the custom, each senior was required to make two speeches before the school, and each junior one. This procedure, it has been found, helps a boy to overcome the natural feeling of stage fright when speaking before a group. Indeed, marked improvement can be noticed between a boy's first and last speeches. The first contest in speaking this year was the reading of the Williams themes. Hunter, Horn, Groth, and Heffelfinger were picked to present their compositions before the school. Besides content, these short stories were judged on quality of presentation. Robert Hunter was named winner of the contest for the delivery of his theme, When Caesar Was in Hither Gaul.’' Charles Horn's “Christopher received honorable mention. Minnesota Past and Present was the general topic assigned to five senior extemporaneous speakers to enlarge upon. Robert Hunter, Charles Horn, Dean Moyer, and Brooks Naffziger each fought to attain first place in the contest and have his name inscribed on the Thorpe cup. This honor was awarded to Hunter, who proved himself an able extemporaneous speaker with his “Survey of Minnesota Culture. Charles Horn and Dean Moyer were both successful in winning honorable mention in this contest. Mr. Bryan chose six members of the Fifth Form to compete in the declamation contest for the Union medal. George Strieker, John Raynolds, Richard Pogue, Charles Hale, Archibald Spenser and John Garver were the contestants. Charles Hale was awarded first place for the excellent delivery of three poems. “The Flight by John Magee, and The Soldier and The Dead by Rupert Brooke. George Strieker's recital of Munro’s “The Interlopers received honorable mention. The Lower School’s contribution to public speaking this year was no small one. Mrs. Nunan’s guidance steered five boys to participation in a Wilson Cup contest of very high standard. Eck’s presentation of “Laska was picked by the judges as best, and “Cyrano de Bergerac, given by Ringland, drew honorable mention. Curtin, Pattee, and Cornelius also deserve commendation for their performances in the contest. When the long-awaited day arrived on which victory was achieved in Europe, Mr. Alder felt it was appropriate to supplement the service of thanksgiving with an address given by one of the students. As the most outstanding speaker in the school, Robert Hunter was given this honor. His speech on peace was indeed worthy of the occasion. It has always been a principle of Blake to emphasize public speaking in the school. The success of the various contests this year is a glowing tribute to the practicability of this principle. Many a graduate of Blake has the school to thank for being competent and sure of himself when called upon for one reason or another to deliver an address. 83 t ii i: C A L I. I A N O F O ’ FIRST AID THE most important object of the First Aid course is the instruction in the prevention of accidents. The knowledge of the treatment of various injuries is actually of lesser importance because these injuries, in most cases, could be prevented by the fulfillment of the first object. As in the last three years, a Red Cross First Aid class was held again this year during the winter term. The class was under the able leadership of Mr. Danielson, who has instructed the previous classes in First Aid. This year there were only eight boys in the class. The group met for two hours on Thursday afternoons for the ten weeks of the winter term to complete the twenty hours required for the Red Cross First Aid certificate. ART SUPPLEMENTING the regular History of Art course under the direction of Mr. Bryan is Blake’s class in creative art, for those boys who volunteer for the work. The History of Art course uses the text Art Through the Ages. by Helen Gardner. The class studies the many phases of art and learns to recognize and appreciate the works of specific artists and periods. During the year various reports are prepared by class members, with each boy finishing the course with the writing of a detailed paper on some relevant art topic. The creative art group, a smaller class, meets once each week and has. during the year, included Vclie, John Hcegaard. Gregory. Pat Ryan. McGandy. and George Strieker. This class concerns itself with experimentation and practice with various art mediums, such as chalk, finger-painting, charcoal, tempera, and other styles. For such special events as athletic meets, dances, war stamp drives. Blake Plays, and other functions, advertising is required in the form of posters. Pat Ryan of the junior class has undertaken this work and has turned out many colorful posters, as well as some advertising published in the Blake TORCH. All art activities at Blake are under the direction of Mr. Wilhemus B. Bryan. Mr. Bryan provides special tours to museums, art galleries, and libraries, presents illustrated lectures at Blake, and keeps the school constantly posted on art functions in Minneapolis. PRESS CLUB THE Press Club is the most obscure and yet one of the most important of the many Blake organizations. Its membership of one also establishes it as the most exclusive of the organizations. On this one member rests the responsibility of seeing that all important Blake events get adequate coverage in the Minneapolis newspapers. Its one member was Leslie Brown, and acting under Mr. Glenn as faculty adviser, he worked in close association with the managers of the various teams seeing to it that every sports event received its proper publicity in the following day's newspaper. The widespread reputation that Blake has gained is in no small way due to the valuable work of this organization. 84 F O IK T V f i v i: inet f: f: n MOTHERS ASSOCIATION Mrs. Adrian H.

T his method is very popular with the parents because it is easier for them to discuss their particular problems with the masters and Mr. Alder. The following mothers were hostesses at these dinners: Mrs. Cargill MacMillan.............................VII Mrs. Richard Raines................................VI Mrs. William Macfadden, Jr.........................V Mrs. Roger R. Page.................................IV Mrs. Howard Selover...............................Ill Mrs. Theodore Bennett..............................II Mrs. Franklin M. Crosby, Jr........................I The Mothers Association also had charge of securing chaperons for all dances given by the school. Mrs. George Heffelfinger and Mrs. Richard Crawford were the chairmen of the decorating and nominating committees, respectively. The executive committee held one meeting this year at which they made some changes in the by-laws and brought them up to date. These alterations were voted on by the members of the Association at the final meeting. Because of the war and the transportation difficulties the Mothers Association held only one meeting. At this time it was voted to give to the school from our funds the money for a part scholarship for the coming year. The Mothers Association is always greatly indebted to the wonderful cooperation and help given them by Mr. Alder. Miss Berglund. and the masters. —Elizabeth M. Howard, President. SHORT STORY CLUB THE Short Story Club is one of Blake’s most popular organizations. It is held on Sunday evenings during the winter term under the direction of Mr. Glenn and is open to all seniors and juniors. The club meets at different boys' houses. After Mr. Glenn reads several interesting stories, delicious refreshments are served to all. This year there were only two meetings. The first was at Brooks Naffziger’s home, the second at Bill Groth’s. The boys’ great interest and enjoyment in this organization were shown by the large attendance at both meetings in spite of gas rationing. All those present were very grateful to Mr. Glenn for his excellent choice of stories and for his sacrificing of his Sunday evenings to be with the group. 85 T II E CALL I A A O F O DANCES THE 1943-44 school year was brought to a smashing climax by the smooth arrangements and terrific blast of the famed Vern Wellington and his orchestra at the annual Junior-Senior Prom, which was held Saturday. June 10, from nine to one at the Woodhill Country Club. The committee which was composed of Tot Heffelfinger. Steve Wyer, and Bill Hayes arranged for refreshments and secured favors for the seniors’ girls; the dance proved to be a fine send-off to those who had just graduated from their Alma Mater. On November 4 the Football dance was held. The committee of Howard. Gamble, and DeLaittre secured the delightful music of Bill West’s band. Coca-Cola was served in the Trophy Room to the large crowd which attended. The fall term was terminated with gala festivity on December 21, when the senior members of the council obtained Bud Strawn and his band for the annual Christmas Dance. The library resonated with the sweet music of the Strawn organization from nine till twelve and the dance was a great success. On March 22, Bill West, called back by popular acclaim, played to a large crowd in the library at the Spring Dance. Activities functioned from nine to curfew time, with all who attended being well entertained. Friday night, June 8, will find the juniors and seniors dancing to the fine music of Bill West again as the junior committee of Bros, Donaldson, and Ward have been fortunate enough to secure him for the annual Junior-Senior Prom, which will be held this year at the Bros home at Minnetonka. Because of the lack of funds caused by the absence of the annual Glee Club Concert, a publications dance was held May 5 from 9 to 12. Records were used to cut expenses further, while “Cokes were served for refreshments. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Wonson and Mr. and Mrs. Parks. The dance was considered a success because of its financial aid to Publications. ATHLETIC STORE AN important school function for many years has been the Athletic Store. Quietly and efficiently the store has for years sold and distributed supplies to the boys on the various teams. During the past school year Bill Hayes has been in charge of the store, selling supplies during recess, after lunch, and at the beginning of play period. Reuben Palm has assisted him throughout the year. The war has curtailed the activities of the store greatly. In former years most of the supplies were purchased from the Aldritt Company. Since the war started, most of the athletic goods have gone to the armed forces; and Blake has been forced to buy its supplies piecemeal from any possible sources. Nevertheless, the store has done a good job. However, the store may soon have to resort to purchasing second-hand goods to make up its inventory. After the war is over, the Blake Athletic Store will again be able to supply sporting goods to the students of the school at reasonable prices. 86 NINETEEN F O It T Y V I V E Mr. Phillips. Ward, Hayes, Mr. Cleveland. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THIS year Blake athletics have been run very satisfactorily, considering the numerous handicaps that schools are bound to encounter during war time. Certainly Blake has fared better than most prep schools in its attempt to carry on with its pre-war activities. The greatest problem has been that of getting suitable equipment for the various school teams. This year the football team, from its budget allotted by the A. A., purchased 36 new jerseys and eight new pairs of game pants. Several helmets have also been purchased. The hockey team also purchased several jerseys to complete, along with those purchased last year, a set of durable jerseys. Up to date, only one meeting has been called by the A. A. In this meeting, the various teams proposed their budgets, all of which were accepted by the student body. It was also proposed and accepted that the boys be given their honor sweaters as soon as they have won the required number of letters, instead of having to wait until class day in June. This proposal was necessitated by the fact that some boys were being inducted into the armed forces before they were presented with sweaters. When Walt Bones graduated in February, Jim Ward, the vice-president, took over the duties of president. No election was held. No other changes have been made thus far in the constitution this year.

FOOTBALL THIS year once again the Blake football team enjoyed a more than successful season, winning four of their six games, and losing only to Cretin in a close contest 6 to 0. West’s powerful eleven was held to a standstill in the second game of the season, as the Bears had to be content with a scoreless tie. Brooks Naffziger was voted the Williams Cup for his outstanding play at left half. Blake 0—Cretin 6 IN their first encounter of the season the Bears met a strong Cretin team which had already played two games, thus having a decided edge in experience over their Blake rivals. The two teams fought on even terms until late in the first quarter, when Wagner of Cretin dropped back and heaved a long pass to Leyden on the 30. who crossed the goal line standing up. The extra point was missed and Cretin led 6 to 0. Blake threatened in the third period and again in the fourth, but both these threats were marred by fumbles, ruining the Bears' chances for victory. Blake 0—West 0 JOURNEYING to the Dust Bowl to meet the heavy West team, the Bears, expecting to lose by two touchdowns, outplayed the Green and White eleven throughout the first half and held them at bay for the rest of the game to earn a scoreless tie. The Blake line, outweighed by twenty pounds per man. performed almost flawlessly in holding West’s hard-charging backs from punch- 90 NINETEEN FORTY FIVE ing holes in their defense. The Brown and White pass defense was especially tight, for no West pass was completed throughout the game. The running of Naffziger. the quarter-backing of Johnson, and the punting of Hayes and Stevens were the highlights of the game. Blake 39—Pillsbury 0 BLAKE chalked up its first win at the expense of a weak Pillsbury eleven, garnering 31 first downs to Pillsbury’s 1 in a one-sided battle. Park powered over after four minutes of play to start the scoring spree, and Ward kicked the extra point. A few minutes later Naffziger crossed the goal line on an off-tackle smash. In the second quarter Stevens ran 20 yards for the third tally. The second half was almost an exact replica of the first, as three touchdowns were made by Johnson, Ward, and Naffziger, respectively, to make the final score 39 to 0. Blake 14—Shattuck 6 AFTER trailing in the first half by a score of 6 to 0. the Bears came back to score twice and defeat Shattuck 1 4 to 6. Shattuck opened the scoring when Kirby took a touchdown pass from Gillispie in the second quarter. Blake's first score was made in the third quarter by Ward from the 5-yard line and Park's plunge added the extra point. In the fourth quarter Naffziger scored for Blake on a 10-yard plunge, and Park again made the extra point. The final gun stopped another Blake threat on the Shattuck five. Blake 7—S.P.A. 0 IN the most hard-fought game of the season the Brown-clad eleven defeated their traditional St. Paul rivals for the second straight time. The only score of the afternoon came in the first quarter when Jim Ward raced 1 7 yards to cross the goal line untouched. Park then found a hole and plunged through for the extra point. Both teams threatened repeatedly but neither could gain the end zone, as the two lines battered evenly throughout the contest, blocking and tackling fiercely. Blake's forward wall put in its best performance of the year. Blake 14—De LaSalle 6 NOT playing up to par, the Bears gained a rather easy victory over De LaSalle in their final game. In the first quarter Ward broke loose for seventy yards and a touchdown, and Naffziger punched through the line for the extra point. The Islanders roared right back in the second stanza, however, scoring on a line plunge, after Swanson had run 25 yards to the one-foot line. Blake scored again in the final period when Naffziger culminated a long drive by counting on a “T” play and then scoring the extra point. 91 COACH’S COMMENTS West—A good captain who played excellent football at end and was a good sportsman at all times. Bones—Walt played excellent football at right end and also helped with the kicking and passing. COACH’S COMMENTS Park—One of the hardest driving, hardest playing boys on the squad, Jim was good all the time. Heff el finger—Tot's record speaks for itself. He played every minute of every game for two years. Hayes—Bill's leg injury in the West game deprived the team of a good, hard-running fullback. COACH’S COMMENTS McGough—A rugged tackle who played a tough defensive game in the line all season. Finch—Shorty was a dependable center and a good offensive blocker who played well in every game. Holcombe—Dwight showed lots of promise, and with more experience, he will be good in '46 and ’47. COACH’S COMMENTS MacMillan—Cargill proved to be one of the stalwarts of the line by playing a good game at guard. Fullerton—Jim played good football at end although he was hampered by injuries from last year. i Wyer—Steve could always be depended upon to play good football at center, especially on defense. COACH’S COMMENTS Groth—A reserve end, Bill showed he could play good football when called on to fill the end slot. Stevens—A reserve back who proved he could play real football in the pinches in the West game. Clifford—After gaining much needed experience last fall, John will see more service next year. COACH’S COMMENTS Naffziger—Brooks’ ability was recognized by his teammates when they awarded him the Williams’ Trophy. Gamble—For his first year Fred caught on quickly and played a steady game all season at guard. Managers—These boys were faithful and attentive to the many details that managers must look after.

JUNIOR VARSITY THIS fall the Junior Varsity came through a fair football season of two wins, two losses, and one tie. Considering the fact that they were outweighed in every contest by their opponents, the little Bears did exceedingly well. The hard-charging forward wall was outstanding throughout the season on the defense, but because of lack of weight could not open holes big enough for the backs to plunge through. Against S.P.A.. especially, the line of Day, Hale. Schmitt. Donaldson. DeLaittre, Drill, and Loufek played as if inspired, enabling Howard. Maefadden. Struthers, Chapman, and Pcppard, with Selover calling signals, to gain enough yardage to defeat the downriver boys twice, 1 5 to 7 and 6 to 0. A strong Hopkins team defeated the Bears in two bruising contests, 1 2 to 0 and 6 to 0. It was just a case of too much brawn, for the J. V.’s couldn’t gain ground either afternoon, although they excelled defensively in all departments except passing. The final game found Blake and St. Louis Park battling to a scoreless tie. This could well be called the best game which the J. V. played all year, for they out-played their opponents for the most part and threatened twice. In a practice game with the A team the J. V.’s barely eked out a victory, 1 3 to 0, on scores by Struthers and Maefadden. All in all. the team, ably coached by Pete Parks and captained by Jim Howard, did better than one would expect of such a small team. Coach Smith’s J. V. hockey squad, bolstered by MacMillan. Hyde, Selover, and Bennett, won only two games, while losing four. 99 T II K C A I. L O 9 I A A O F Back row: Mr. Gailbrailh, Hartwell, J. Howard. Ward. Holcomb. Johnson. Crawford. Maefadden.

HOCKEY CLIMAXING their season with a brilliant 3 to 1 victory over Blake’s closest rival. St. Paul Academy, the 1945 Hockey squad completed its heavy schedule with the commendable record of 8 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties. The team played consistent hockey throughout the season, their only real letdown being the second Shattuck game, in which the squad lacked spirit and teamwork. The highlights of the year were the two S.P.A. games and the second Cretin contest, which was a hard-fought game, played at the Minneapolis Arena. Shorty Finch did a fine job as captain of the bladesters, sparking the team in every game, and being leading scorer with the remarkable total of seventeen points, including eleven goals, and six assists. Finch’s mates on the first forward line, Wyer and MacMillan, were tied for second place in the scoring honors, each having been credited with nine points. The team was coached by Perk Galbraith and Pete Parks, and after three weeks of intensive practice, began its season by encountering St. Paul Johnson at Blake on January 4. Owing to the fact that Christmas vacation had kept several of the Blake players from practice, the entire squad was not present for the initial contest. This game ended in a victory for Johnson, which was the only team to defeat Blake in the 1944 season. Finch led his mates by scoring both goals and leading the other attempts. The final score was 3 to 2. After this not-too-impressive beginning the Blakesters were held to a 2 to 2 tie by another St. Paul aggregation, this time from Central High. The game was played at Central on a small, very narrow rink, which hindered the speed of the Blake forward line. Once again Shorty Finch starred for the Hilltoppers. He scored both the Blake goals. 100 NINETEEN FORTY F I V E Showing more of the class and team cooperation which was evident at practice sessions. Blake’s rapidly improving sextet avenged their first loss by downing Johnson on the latter’s ice. Cargill MacMillan, playing left wing on the first line, smashed in the sole tally of the game, giving the Brown and White their first victory by the close margin of 1 to 0. In this game Galbraith used all three of his forward lines, giving the younger members of the team some much needed game experience. Their win over Johnson inspired the boys to two decisive shut-out victories, in which Blake humbled first Cretin and then St. Thomas by one-sided scores. 4 to 0 and 5 to 0 respectively. Cretin's squad was rugged, fast, and experienced. But Blake was victory bound from the starting whistle and couldn’t be denied their five well-earned goals. The contest was battled out on the ice at the St. Paul Auditorium. Steve Wyer was the outstanding player of the day. He led the Brown and White six throughout the game and counted two of the four markers. The second of the two wins was also played in St. Paul. St. Thomas did not provide much opposition to Blake’s speed and versatility and did not threaten seriously at any time. Holcombe, a sophomore newcomer, scored two goals, with Bill Howard giving him an assist and Finch and MacMillan scoring the others. Making its fifth consecutive trip into St. Paul, the bladesters met Humboldt who had the best team Blake had met to date, and the wearers of the Brown and White had to fight all the way to tie their St. Paul opponents. Walt Bones. Blake’s star defenseman, counted the home team’s only goal. S.P.A. provided tough opposition to the Blake's sextet in their first meeting of the season. The game was played on very smooth ice which was a handicap to the Blake squad, which had practiced that week on soft ice. The final score stood at 2 to 1 for Blake. DeLaittre, who took over the goalie position after the Central game, saved his fellows from defeat many times with brilliant stops in the net. The only Minneapolis team to play Blake was a group of West High boys who defeated the Hilltoppers by the score of 3 to 1. Shorty Finch scored Blake's lone tally of the day. In this contest the Blake team played good hockey but lacked the scoring punch necessary to win. Two games with Shattuck were next on the schedule. They were split by the two rival teams, Blake taking the first on their own rink by 5 goals to 3 and dropping the second in a poorly played game at Shattuck by 2 to 0. This game was their only shutout of the entire season. In their last games of the season Blake defeated St. Thomas. Cretin and S.P.A. by scores of 3 to 0. 3 to 2. and 3 to 1, respectively, and suffered a loss at the hands of Humboldt by the count of 2 to 1. The last three games were played at the Arena and proved to be probably the three fastest, most exciting contests of the year. Each one was closely contested, and provided many thrills for the spectators. The final win over S.P.A. was a fitting climax to a well-played season. 101 T II E C A L I, I A A O F O Back Row: Adams.

SWIMMING THE swimming team this year had only a mediocre season. But when you consider the youth and inexperience of most of the members of the squad, the record is not so bad. In fact, Johnny Hartmann counted on winning only three meets all year. The team started the season by taking the first meet from Central 49 to 26. losing by one point to West 38 to 39, winning from a poor Cretin team 55 to 20, then dropping three in a row to Winona 48 to 17. to St. Thomas 50 to 25. and to Shattuck 46 to 19. The team picked up one from Edison 41 34 to 33 2, then lost to mighty Austin. From the Austin meet the team began to pick up a little, swamping Cretin 55 to 20 and South 56 to 19. Roosevelt and Southwest both had too much power for Blake, defeating our squad by the scores of 36 to 39 for Roosevelt and 37 to 38 for Southwest. The team, spurred on by these defeats, proceeded to upset both St. Thomas and Marshall to end the season with seven wins and seven losses. The highlights honor of the team were shared between fast-splashing breast-stroker George Dayton and 160-yard relay team. George was undefeated this year in the breaststroke and was responsible for cracking not only the school record of 1:1 1.5, but also the city record of 1:08. The relay team of Raines. Kelly, Heffelfinger and Dayton was defeated twice this year. Winona won by scant inches and in the South meet the team was disqualified when one of the members jumped the gun. At the swimming dinner letters were awarded, and Joe Michael and Tot Heffelfinger were honored with the two swimming trophies. Tot, this year's captain, was awarded the Guy Thomas trophy for his outstanding leadership and service to the team. Joe Michael was awarded the Arthur Swimming Improvement Award by Mr. Bosanko, who was again the faculty adviser. 102 NINETEEN F O IK T V V I V E BASKETBALL THE basketball squad again braved the icy blasts in the field house this winter to pursue perfection in the most popular winter sport of the nation. Mr. Lund-holm instructed the cagers and organized a team which played a regular schedule. The lineup for the first game versus Minnehaha was as follows: Norton and Linman, both freshmen, at the forwards. Stoker at center, and Cohen and Donaldson, guards. Struthers alternated at each forward and collected eight points to lead Blake. Nevertheless. Minnehaha's rebounding skill led them to a 52 to 21 victory. The cagers then traveled to S.P.A. and put up a gallant fight before losing, 37 to 29. It was a case of just too much Bill Frenzel who scored 15 points of S.P.A.’s total. Blake held a slim lead at the half, but an effective zone defense curbed the Bear speedsters. The scoring for Blake was evenly divided. Norton, Linman, Cohen, and Donaldson each garnering six points. The Washburn sophomores proved too numerous, too tall, and too classy: Blake once more went down to defeat, 50 to 24. The hockey squad supplemented the basketballers for the last game of the year, a return contest with Minnehaha. Hyde. Holcombe, and Macfadden wer? especially helpful as the Bears displayed their best floor work. Although the Hilltoppers were greatly improved since their first encounter, Minnehaha had too much power and won, 43 to 25. SKIING THE Brown and White ski meet was held this year in February after weather conditions had forced its abandonment the previous year. The Upper School Browns emerged victorious with a score of 35 to 1. However, they lost the meet in the Lower School, which was left unfinished. 9 to 0. Bidwell was the star of the contest, placing in all four events, registering a first in the slalom, third in the jump, second in the downhill, and second in the cross country for a total of twelve points. Dwinnell won the only event in the Lower School meet—the downhill race. In the slalom Bidwell placed first. Adams second, and Kuechle third to give the Browns nine points. The next event was the jump, won by Bill Kuechle. who was followed closely by two other Browns, John Hutchinson and Bidwell. Kuechle's jump was measured at 31 feet. The downhill race was won by Hutchinson. J., with Bidwell placing second and Hutchinson, R., the only White to place, taking third. The cross country race was the final event of the day: and Harry Adams, outdistancing his favored opponents, finished the winner. Bidwell again took a second, while Drip Holmgren came in third. 103 t ii i: o ’ I A X O I CALL Back Row: P. Gamble (Mgr.). Linman. Sclovcr. Clifford. Holcombe. Hill. Hyde. Mr. Wonson. Front Row: O.

BASEBALL WHEN spring finally arrived and it was time to organize a baseball team, a surprisingly young group of players turned out. There were only three seniors and one junior: all the rest were sophomores and freshmen. Although Coach Wonson at first feared an even worse season than any in previous years, his fears were unjustified, as his team proceeded to win seven of their first eight games for the best record made by a Blake baseball squad in a very long time. With a starting team of five sophomores, three seniors, and one freshman in most games, the Bears displayed a brand of baseball long absent from the Blake diamond. The Hilltoppers faced as their first rival Minnehaha Academy, a rather green bunch whom they defeated fairly easily. 12 to 8. scoring five runs in the third inning. Blake's fielding was weak in this game as seven miscues were made, but this deficit was more than made up at the plate by eleven well-placed blows. Johnson went the route for the winners. When St. Thomas journeyed to Blake a few days later, the Bears were ready for them; and with Selover pitching his first Varsity game in grand style, they played errorless ball throughout the seven regular innings and one extra stanza to edge the Tommies 6 to 5. Jim Howard’s scratch single in the eighth, which drove in Naffziger, turned the trick. The entire team played excellent baseball in this contest, the highlight being Doug Johnson’s booming round- 104 NINETEEN F O IK T Y F I V E tripper in the fifth canto. After this victory the squad's outlook began to look brighter. The Bruins next played St. Louis Park on the latter's home diamond. The first six innings saw Blake behind continuously, seemingly unable to become used to the opposing hurler’s fastballs; but in the seventh they exploded for five runs to clinch their hopes for victory. Bill Howard, later elected captain to fill the absent Walt Bones’ shoes, banged out two singles in this inning to aid the cause tremendously. St. Louis Park scored once in their last time at bat. making the final count 10 to 6 in favor of Blake. Johnson won his second game for the Brown and White. Bound to lose sometime, the Bears picked the game with Cretin, going down to defeat. 9 to 4. The boys from across the river were decidedly superior to the Blake nine and held a distinct advantage throughout the game. Only two hits were garnered by Blake, one by Linman and one by Johnson. Selover toed the slab for all seven innings and after the first two cantos, did well, although losing. Getting back on the winning path, the Hilltoppers took Shattuck in a pitching duel between Johnson and Felton. 2 to 1, at Faribault. Blake had a definite edge in play for they made only one error and outhit the Shads 5 to 4. Dwight Holcombe blasted in two runs in the fifth inning by a Texas leaguer to win the game. The play of both teams was excellent throughout as all innings were scoreless except the fourth and fifth. In their fourth home game, which was on Alumni Day, the Bears continued their winning streak by defeating St. Paul Academy 5 to 2 in another well-played ball game. Johnson bested Roy of the losers for his fourth victory. He was backed up in good style by his teammates who made but one error, Lin-man’s sparkling grab of a line drive far to his right in the fourth inning being the highlight of the game. Blake took the lead in the third on Bill Howard’s single and kept it intact to the end. Encountering Shattuck for the second time, Blake once again came out on top. this time by the score of 8 to 7. Selover started, but had to be relieved in the fifth inning by Johnson, who allowed only one hit in 2-2 3 innings. This was Doug’s fifth win. again over Felton. The Bears capitalized on the Cards’ bad fielding and Felton’s wildness to win in the last inning, as Hartwell was walked with the bases loaded and the score tied. Bronson of Shattuck connected for a homer in the speond for the longest hit of the day. Two days after this contest the Bears met an under-estimated Concordia club and had trouble defeating them, 6 to 5. Incidentally, this was the fourth one-run victory for the Bruins. Johnson won for the sixth time, being helped considerably by Naffziger’s smashing home run in the fourth inning. Macfad-den, catching for the first time since the Cretin game, and Finch, who tended the initial sack like a veteran, both aided their team tremendously. It took Hartwell to produce the winning run. who walked with the bases loaded again. As we go to press, it looks as though the team will finish a spectacular season. 105 t ii i: C A L L I A A O F O ’ Mr. Cleveland. H. Adams. Norton. Donaldson (Co-Capt.). Heffelfinger (Mgr.), C.

TENNIS AS the CALL O' PAN goes to press, the tennis team, co-captained by Scott Donaldson and Cargill MacMillan, has an admirable record to set down in its pages. Not yet having seen defeat after five matches, the netmen aspire towards an undefeated season. After several disappointments because of poor weather conditions, the tennis team finally played its first game against Southwest on foreign soil. From this test Mr. Cleveland’s players emerged victors with an uncomfortable score of 3 to 2. Donaldson was the only singles winner, while MacMillan and Heffelfinger went down to the Southwesters. The doubles combinations of Donaldson and MacMillan, and two freshmen, Norton and Adams, vanquished their opponents. The day of the next match saw the Blake netmen traveling to Deephaven with the same lineup as the first. Once again the Blakesters came out on top with a score of 3 to 2. As before, Donaldson was the sole singles winner while Blake took both doubles matches. The tennis team shut out St. Thomas 5 to 0 in its first match with them. In spite of poor weather conditions, all members managed to take their opponents by comfortable margins. In a match which was expected to be one of the toughest of the season, the Hilltoppers proved themselves to be worthy of recognition by blasting the West team 4 to 1. Donaldson in the first position and Taylor in the third took their matches while Cargill MacMillan dropped his. Both doubles teams were victorious. The team met St. Thomas in a return match at home and this time dropped one match to make the score 4 to 1. 106 NINETE E N V O II T Y El V E Brill (Mgr.). Hayes. Raines. Ward (Capt.). Pogue. Mr. Glenn. GOLF WITH four members of the team back from last year, the outlook for the golf squad has been good since the first days of practice. This year there were nine golfers, including three seniors, Brill. Hayes, and Lowe; five juniors, Cohen, Webb. Ward, DeLaittre, and Raines; and one sophomore, Pogue. The first three positions were held down by Raines, Pogue, and Ward, respectively, the same three that played them last year. The only newcomer to the team was Bill Hayes, who held down the number four spot until he entered the Navy, and then Bert Cohen took over his position. In the first match of the year, the Blake boys met the Cretin team at Mini-kahda and defeated them 5 2 to 6 2. For the second match, the squad journeyed to the University of Minnesota golf course and there defeated a young team from University High 12 to 0. Playing again at Minikahda. Blake won its third match, from Wayzata, 6l i to 5 . The next match found Blake matching strokes with St. Louis Park, and Blake won its fourth straight, 6 Yi to 5 2. When the Blakesters journeyed to Shattuck, they met their strongest opponents of the year, and the result was a 6 to 6 tie. However, when the Shads came to Minikahda, Blake lost its first match. 7Yi to 4 . As the CALL O' PAN goes to press, the season is not yet quite completed, but it looks as though the golf team has a good chance of finishing the season with only one defeat. 107 T II E CALI. I A N O F O C TEAM I X E T E E X F O II T Y F I V E A TEAM THIS year once again Chief Wonson's A team finished a brilliant season, winning their seven regularly scheduled games by large scores, and losing only to the Junior Varsity in a hard-fought contest 13 to 0. Capt. Hartwell led his mates to wins over Edina, S.P.A., Hopkins, the Little Yankees, and St. Phillips. Both St. Paul and St. Phillips were defeated twice: the former. 38 to 0 and 19 to 6. and the latter 25 to 7 and 19 to 0. Excluding the J.V., the A team rolled up 1 26 points to their opponents' 1 3. This impressive record was brought about by such stars as Hartwell. Pogue. Linman and Crawford in the backfield and Fahr. Hill, MacMillan and Holmgren in the line. B TEAM UNDER the able direction of Messrs. Runkle, Skogland, and Ziskin, the B team completed a successful football season. In their first game of the year the B team swamped a small team from Hopkins 41 to 0. After this game the B team met its traditional rival from S.P.A., and the result of their first game was a 7 to 7 tie. In their second meeting the B team went down to defeat, 14 to 6. When the Kenwood boys ventured to Blake, the B team came out on top in both games. 19 to 0 and 14 to 0. In their only game with the Little Yankees, they lost 14 to 0. As in former years there were no Lower School hockey games with S.P.A. this year, but nevertheless Lower School boys engaged in intra-squad games throughout the season. C TEAM THIS year, under the tutelage of coaches Bill Howard and Joe Michael, the C team enjoyed a more than successful season, winning four games, losing one, and tying one. The C boys split their games with both S.P.A. and Hopkins, losing to S.P.A. 7 to 6 in Death Valley and winning 7 to 0 at St. Paul. While Hopkins lost the first game 6 to 0 and tied the second 0 to 0, Kenwood, their third and last rival, tasted defeat twice. Capt. Larry Boies' fast-stepping mates in the backfield were Chuck and Bill McCarthy. Adams, and Strieker. The line positions were held down by Nash, Ankeny, Cohen, Eck, Hartwell, Bennett, and Crosby. 109 T II E CALL I A A O F O BROWN AND WHITE UNDER the leadership of Brooks Naffziger, who took over the captaincy of the Browns after Rip West left Blake, the Browns led the Whites by the narrow margin of thirteen points. In football the Browns won three of the four games, but in the hockey games the Whites were more successful as they were able to win all but the Lower School game. The Upper School swimming meet was won by the Browns, but the Whites were able to eke out a victory in the Lower School. In the Boxing matches the Whites won all of the matches except the light heavyweight, and the Brown lead was cut down so that now the race for the Pflaum Cup will be determined by the winner of the baseball games and the track meet. BOXING THE third annual Blake boxing tournament was held March 16 in the field house, with the Whiles emerging victorious, 70 to 50. A total of more than twenty-five boys entered in the respective weight divisions, sixteen — eight Browns and eight Whites—qualifying for the finals. The highlight of the afternoon was the heavyweight battle between Tot Hef-felfinger and John Clifford. After three rounds of hard punching and clever footwork, Heffelfinger, a White, gained the decision. The light-heavy division also produced an exciting fight, as Justy Lowe won over Fritz Drill by a comfortable margin. Lowe was one of the two Browns to win in the tournament, while the Whites obtained six firsts. In the middleweight bout White John Raynolds was given the benefit of the doubt by defeating Dwight Hyde in one of the closest fights of the afternoon. The former showed fine defensive boxing in winning. Another close match was fought in the welterweight class. Dwight Holcombe of the Whites succeeded in baffling Brown Bill Macfadden enough to win a much disputed decision. It was Holcombe who carried the fight to his opponent, and it was probably on this account that he was judged the winner. Paul Schmitt won easily to become lightweight champion over Matt Peppard, a White. Schmitt displayed beautiful boxing form in beating Peppard, a worthy fighter himself. In the featherweight class Dick Pogue gained the decision over Randy Brown to win another first for the Whites. The bout was highlighted by wild slug fests. in which Pogue had a slight advantage. The only fight which did not go the regular three rounds was between Doug Dalgleish and John Heegaard, as the latter won by a technical knockout in the second round. In the flyweight bout Charlie Velie defeated Jack Pratt by a considerable margin. All in all, the tournament, directed by Percy Villa, was a great success. 110 NINETEEX F O II T V F I V B JUNIOR DEPARTMENT THE year 1944-45 saw great changes and growth in the Junior School. Seventy-four boys were enrolled, which is the largest number in this department since it moved to the country six years ago. Six full-time teachers, three regular play leaders, and the shop instructor constituted our faculty. The building was completely remodeled during the summer to provide comfortable rooms for this large group. Even this additional space has not been sufficient to accommodate all who wish to enter, so plans were drawn for the new Junior School to be built as soon as possible. This modern, fire-proof building will include the work of the First Form as well as that of the other elementary classes. It is evident that the Junior School is an integral part of Blake, for one-fourth of the school’s enrollment is in this department. Highlights of the year include the installation of new playground equipment, the annual Christmas program, the Father and Son Banquet in February with Clellan Card and Cedric Adams as toastmasters, and the school picnic in May. Much credit goes to the Mothers’ Association for their help during the year. The athletic program provided better opportunities for fun. body building, and sportsmanship than ever before. Practically all boys found one or more organized games to their liking. This has been a splendid year for Blake's Junior School. JUNIOR SCHOOL FACULTY AND STAFF DOR WIN E.

Look beyond your campus and you read and hear each day about the exploits of Blake athletes who have marched away from the Brown and White training grounds to preserve for Blake generations to come those ideals you have learned to revere. Blake's is an all-embracing program with competitions for every boy in school. It has been fun for us of the Morning Tribune to delineate these activities, and to realize that you have won more than you have lost.

There are many roads to success, but no matter which which one you take, one principle will largely determine whether or not you reach your goal. In the words of James J. Hill, famed Empire Builder, it is this — If you want to know whether you will be a success or not, ask yourself this question: 'Am I able to save money?' If not, you might as well drop out, for the seeds of success are not in you. Life Insurance is the easiest, most certain way for you to save money.

Robertson, '35 Zellc, Louis N.. '42 183 THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY STATE IS THE EDUCATION OF ITS YOUTH (Diogenes) Today, when our embattled nation is passing through a period of great stress, the democratic belief in universal education constitutes a bulwark of strength. For modern war is a war of brains and of knowledge. The future that stretches before you young men may not, we hope, be shattered by war. Nevertheless, there will be other colossal problems to try the strength of the nation. The knowledge and the training for leadership which you and countless other American boys have received in the class room and on the athletic field, will help solve these problems whatever they might be. Congratulations, Class of ’45! Best wishes for all the years ahead.
