CLASS HISTORY THE class of 1945 had its illustrious beginning ’way back in 1933 when only one member of the present senior class. 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
