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

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.
