 I X E T E E F O IK T Y F I V E EUGENE CHARLES ALDER Headmaster B.A.. Kansas University: M.A.. 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
