C. 1 DEDICATION In the sincere hope that this yearbook will prove a tribute to our beloved headmaster, we respectfully dedicate the Call O’Pan of 1946 to Eugene C. Alder. IN HHIIIIII11M PAUL BOSANKO FOR YOUR many contributions as an instructor and as a friend to the hundreds of students you have enriched in your twenty years in the classroom, your name will be permanently inscribed on the living tablet that is Blake. The respect you have garnered among the faculty as a scholar and among the students as a teacher are in themselves a lasting memoriam to you. 6 n m h ii o it i a n WILLIAM ALEXANDER STRICKLAND DURING the past seventeen years Blake has been blessed with the rarest of all combinations—wit. linguist, student adviser, and coach. He was equally great in the classroom and on the field, but he was at his greatest as a man. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled at Blake. His memory will be cherished in the hearts of the countless friends he made here. 7 BOARD OF TRUSTEES G. Barnard Clifford, Jr. David J. Winton........... Philip S. Duff............ Melville A. R.

Kansas University: M.A.. Harvard University. University of Berlin German He led them well.” DURING the past twenty years, Mr. Alder’s many varied services to Blake have been of inestimable value to students, faculty, and Alumni alike. Long cherished will be the memories of his enthusiasm and devotion to the ideal which is Blake. It is through his leadership that Blake has become one of the top preparatory schools of the nation equal in scholastic standing to the best of the Eastern secondary schools. The establishment of a senior room to facilitate a more gradual transition between the restraint of high school life and the freedom of college careers, is only one of the many improvements which have been made bv Mr. Alder’s far-seeing vision. All phases of Blake school life from scholastic work to athletics and extracurricular activities, have received the continued support of the retiring headmaster. Also it has been through his zeal for the improvement of Blake that plans have been made and funds obtained for additions to the school which are soon to be made. Mr. Alder's spirit of loyalty, enthusiasm, and friendship for Blake will not easily be forgotten by the students, faculty, and the friends of the school. Indeed it may be said that he has passed the Torch to those who follow with an undimmed light. 13 THE 1946 CALL O 1 PAN NOAH SYLVESTER FOSS Assistant Headmaster Head of the Lower School Latin B.A.. Dartmouth College MR. FOSS, who has been at Blake longer than any other master, is noted for the exceeding strictness and care with which he conducts his Latin classes. In addition to serving as Assistant Headmaster. Mr. Foss has assumed charge of the Lower School where the younger boys have been well aware of his dictatorial leadership. As faculty adviser for the Union he has assisted that organization invaluably by his wise comments and suggestions. He is also very active as one of the judges who decide the winners of the various scholastic contests. During prewar years Mr. Foss, accompanied by his Virgil students, retreated in the summer months to his cottage on the St. Croix River. However, 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 in the first three forms. Mr. West-mark puts a great deal of time and effort into helping the Dramatic Association with lighting and staging, the art department in cutting stencils and printing their many posters, the hockey team in the upkeep of the sides of the rinks, and Blake School itself in repairing clocks, drinking fountains, broken chairs, etc. In addition to his Senior Blake activities, Mr. Westmark teaches the art of carpentry to the boys in the Junior School. HENRY ARTHUR WESTMARK Manual Arts University of Minnesota: Stout Institute 14 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN MR. CLEVELAND in being treasurer of the Athletic Association and publications adviser and also holding the above offices, is perhaps the busiest master at Blake. His versatility is shown in his attempts to add color to the writing of his English students while trying to prevent the publications staff from including too much color’' in the material printed in the TORCH and CALL O' PAN. A sympathizer with the student body in their many faults. Mr. Cleveland is well-known to his proteges for his many philosophical dissertations and his mildly sarcastic reprimanding of wayward lads. Mr. Cleveland’s ability and the respect and esteem in which he is held by boys and masters alike at Blake were recognized when he was chosen to occupy the position of acting Headmaster upon the retirement of Mr. Alder. PRESCOTT COYLE CLEVELAND Senior Master of Upper School; Secretary of Faculty; English B.S.. Union College HAROLD HODGKINSON Physics, Chemistry B.A.. Clark University DURING his eighteen years at Blake. Mr. Hodgkinson has been constantly adding newer and more complete equipment to his physics and chemistry laboratory. In addition, however, it has been one of his hobbies to further musical interest at the school by holding regular concerts, playing his own fine collection of records for musically minded Seniors. Mr. Hodgkinson's classes are some of the most interesting at Blake. His clever wit and the piquancy of some of his remarks lend a unique flavor to his scientific discussions. Upon inspection of a cross section of his students one would find that they possess a remarkable facility for tossing off such well-sounding phrases as the homologous series of the saturated hydrocarbons.'' and terms like dichlorodiflouroethane.'' A year under him is an experience which should not be missed. 15 THE 19 4 6 C WILLIAM JAMES GLENN English B.A.. Ed.M., Harvard University VERSATILITY and a keen interest in Blake affairs are two of the outstanding characteristics of the head of the mathematics department. Besides schooling the would-be-mathematicians in the fine points of trigonometry and advanced algebra. Mr. Lundholm conducts rigorous setting-up drills during the Winter Term, when he is not coaching the ever-improving basketball squad, and passes on his baseball lore to the softballers in the spring. One of his favorite digressions in the classroom is the exposition of the art of permutations and combinations. He is one of the regular members of the Friday evening faculty bridge sessions. His undying interest in various methods of testing provides material for class discussions as well as for braincrushing examinations. ALL O' PAN MR. GLENN'S main interests about school are divided among football, golf, and the Short Story Club. Of these, the varsity football team consumes the greatest part of his attention. Many are the boys who have spent their Special Help periods learning football strategy on Mr. Glenn s blackboard. As a completely different hobby, our English master has been conducting almost a private inventory of all the better stories and then reading the best to the Juniors and Seniors. The Club's attendance clearly shows the popularity of the short stories. In the spring all Blake golfers meet with Mr. Glenn, who is in great demand among the ‘‘pros’’ of the country for private instruction. The enthusiasm of the boys for all these activities gives ample proof of Mr. Glenn's interest and leadership. HAROLD T. LUNDHOLM Mathematics B.A.. Augustana College; M.S., University of Iowa; Columbia University 16 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN IT IS Mrs. John S. Nunan who gives the students their first lessons on how to speak on the stage. For nine 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. T he 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 THE APPOINTMENT of Mr. Bryan as Dean at Macalester College has been felt as a great loss to Blake, since in this appointment the school is losing its foremost supporter of the cultural side of Blake life. Since he came to Blake in 1938, Mr. Bryan has encouraged public speaking, preparing juniors and seniors for their Chapel talks and the sophomores for their Fifth Form Declamation Contest and has introduced a very interesting and instructive History of Art course. He was also very much interested in furthering musical appreciation, and has invited groups of students to West House on Sunday evenings to listen to recorded programs of classical music. Using his theological training. Mr. Bryan has conducted very impressive Chapel services throughout the year. Although Mr. Bryan's presence will be missed in the future. Blake is proud that a member of its faculty has been selected as dean of a college. of speaking before an audience. WILHELMUS BOGART BRYAN, JR. History of Art, Public Speaking, Art Counselor; Director of Boarding Department B.A., M.A.. Princeton University: Princeton Theological Seminary LEONE NUNAN Lower School Speech Northwestern University 17 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN HAROLD SAYWARD WONSON. JR. History.- Geography Supervisor of First Form B.A.. Dartmouth College ALMOST any day during the Spring Term, one may look out upon the baseball diamond and see a tall individual driving a bunch of boys to greater heights. This man is “Chief Wonson. coach of the Blake baseball team. Chief” entered Blake in the fall of 1 940 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 and Mr. Glenn coach the Varsity Football team. In winter Chief” helps the Lower Schoolers with their skiing, and he occasionally lends his talents towards basketball. In the summer Chief plays professional baseball: but wherever he may be. he is found surrounded by his many friends. TO BE the athletic director of a country day school requires a great deal of patience and understanding as well as an intense interest in boys and sports. Mr. Phillips possesses all of these characteristics and is. therefore, not only an efficient director of athletics but also one of the favorite members of the faculty among the students. Besides teaching American History to the Seniors, he instructs the underclassmen in World Problems, and conducts the annual 'Lime Magazine Current Affairs Test. During the football season he can be seen beside the coaches on game days, nervously enduring the ardors of a close contest: while throughout the year he is kept busy keeping track of two hundred athletes of varying degrees of enthusiasm. ability, and evasiveness. PAUL K. PHILLIPS Athletic Director History B.A.. Amherst: Harvard University: Ohio State University Law School 18 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN GENIALITY marks this Lower School mathematics instructor, who has won a position of great respect and admiration in his four years at Blake. Out of the classroom. Mr. Runkle is one of the most ardent supporters of school athletics. He coaches the coefficients throughout much of the year, and his enthusiasm with the boys is matched only by that of his instructces. An outdoor man in his own right, he demonstrated his interest in athletics and physical education when he rode his bicycle to school during one winter. His interest in the boys and his understanding of them has made him an able adviser of the Second Form. ROBERT L. RUNKLE Mathematics B.A.. Cornell College (Iowa) : M.A.. University of Iowa ALDEN GIBSON VAUGHAN Latin B.A.. Dartmouth College: M.A., Ph.D.. University of Pennsylvania ASSISTING Mr. Foss in the Latin department. that part of the curriculum for which so much patience and desire to instruct is needed, comprises Mr. Vaughan’s chief function in the Blake faculty. However, he has shouldered many other tasks in his two years at the school. Perhaps his primary interest in extra-curricular activities is his supervision of the debating team during the Winter Term. In two seasons he has developed many fine debaters and has contributed much to that portion of Blake life. A year ago he began a Greek course for those who were interested in acquiring a bit of voluntary culture.. The lack of time available for study made its continuance impossible, but the thought behind it was symbolic of his unselfish desire to share in the tasks and problems of Blake. 19 THE O I PAN 19 4 6 C MERWYN EARL PARKS Mathematics, General Science B.S., Iowa Wesleyan College; University of Iowa ALL DURING the past three years Mr. Parks has assumed some of the more important positions at Blake. His teaching duties are made up of Lower School classes, in which 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 is by no means limited to hockey, for he coaches the Junior Varsity football in the fall and the J. V. baseball in the spring. During the summer months he is a counselor at Camp Lincoln, and in the early fall he helps Mr. Glenn prepare the team for the coming season. Mr. Parks may be considered indispensable to the Lower School classes and the Upper School athletics. MR. JONES, the only member of the faculty with a World War II record, in addition to bolstering the English department. has lent his talent to the Chapel exercises where he plays the organ. His main interests are in music and drama. This year, as dramatics coach, he has produced very successful plays. As a West House dormitory master he has helped Mr. Bryan keep the boys in line, and when Miss Hiniker is absent he takes over the position of librarian. He has helped to coach boys for public speaking contests, and he has also accompanied the group of students to the Young People’s Concerts at the University. HOWARD FILSON JONES English Chapel Organist Dormitory Master B.S.. Kansas State Teachers College; M.A.. Columbia University Two years Lieutenant in U. S. Navy 20 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN WITH a dearth of first tenors and less time for practice than that alloted to the Glee Clubs of most other schools. Mr. Allen produced a very enjoyable concert this year, which was undoubtedly more entertaining than any of Blake’s former concerts. The work which the director must undertake in preparing for one evening's entertainment is tremendous. and Mr. Allen deserves utmost commendation for a job well done. During the year he taught music to the Lower School students. The excellent training of these younger boys was shown by the fact that a large number of them were able to help out the Glee Club in the absence of first tenors from the Upper School. JAMES SCHREYER ALLEN Music Glee Club Director B.M.. MacPhail School of Music; Mus. M.. Chicago Musical College DONALD W. BUTLER Ancient History. U. S. History B.A.. University of Maine DURING the past year, Mr. Butler has assumed the duties of teaching Ancient History to the students in the Freshman year of high school, and also he has taken over several World Problems classes. In the field of athletics, he coached B team football in the fall and continued in coefficient coaching throughout the rest of the year. In the spring he took over Mr. Phillips’ duties of teaching United States History. He should certainly be congratulated on successfully assuming the responsibility of conducting a class which had reached such a crucial point under the direction of another man. AS WELL as teaching Plane Geometry and Algebra to the members of the upper school. Mr. Lundholm has taken extensive interest in the athletic phase of Blake life. During the whole year he helped put the would-not-be athletes through vigorous calesthenics. In the fall he was in charge of part of the touch football squad, while the winter afternoons saw him heading the Freshman basketball team in its initial season. In the spring Mr. Lundholm instructed the second-team golfers in the fine points of that sport. Blake should feel itself lucky to have such a versatile addition to its faculty. FRIDOLF N. LUNDHOLM Mathematics B.A.. Augustana: M.A., University of Iowa 21 THE 19 4 6 CALL O ' PAN GEORGE BERNARD CALT Spanish. English B.A.. M.A., Harvard University Summer study. University of Mexico UPON his joining of the faculty this year. Mr. Calt immediately became an active part of Blake, both in the classroom and on the athletic field. His chief function was to assist Mr. Bosanko in the Spanish Department, but he also instructed Lower School English. He assumed complete responsibility for the instruction of Spanish after the unfortunate death of Mr. Bosanko in the spring. Mr. Calt was known better by the majority of the student body for his work with the coefficient football and baseball teams, the “ ’A' Team Sports-blaster.'' a regular news bulletin written, edited, and published by him. was often a source of interest and amusement to the school. THE TASK of teaching science to a group of younger boys and of making that course interesting is indeed a large one; however. Mr. Landsman successfully did just that. The pupils whom he taught will remember long the instructive laboratory sessions which he held. He was one of the more broadly versed of the masters on the subject of the atomic bomb, and on this and other subjects he became a regular member of faculty-student discussion groups. The interest he showed and the effort he exerted were instrumental in the installation of a new biology laboratory, a worthy addition to Blake. LEWIS HARRY LANDSMAN General Science, Mathematics B.S., M.A.. Ohio University ROBERT JOHN WEECH B. Ed.. Mankato State Teachers College; M. Ed.. Springfield College. Springfield. Mass. ALTHOUGH Mr. Weech was at Blake for only a short time, he succeeded immediately in continuing Mr. Phillips’ athletic program during his leave of absence in the spring term, without being hitherto familiar with the school's athletic schedule. Under Mr. Weech's leadership in this emergency, Blake’s athletic program was successfully carried out in all of the spring sports. In addition to these athletic department duties, he concluded the Minnesota History course with the Second Form boys and also took over the World Problems classes of several forms. The faculty and students alike feel fortunate to have had the temporary services of Mr. Weech when the need for them was so great. 22 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN EXECUTIVE STAFF LILLIAN O.

PHILLIPS FOR THE continued unselfish guidance which Mr. Paul K. Phillips rendered them during their senior year, the members of the class of 1946 wish to express their sincere thanks. Until illness forced him temporarily to leave school, his advice concerning the proper attitude on scholastic programs and grades, as well as on all other matters pertaining to school life, proved invaluable to this year’s class. The seniors wish also to thank Mr. Prescott C. Cleveland for so generously taking Mr. Phillip's place and guiding the class during the last month of the year concerning class gifts, finances, and other matters which complicate the closing weeks of a senior year. 27 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Back row: Bros, BidwcU, Duff.

THE CLASS OF 1946 THE class of 1946 had its beginnings back in September of 1934 when Richard Raines and John Clifford undertook their lessons as first grade students under the watchful tutelage of Miss MacDonald. As the oldest members of the class these two saw fit to fill the ears of newcomers with tales of their own experiences. Throughout their twelve years at Blake Cliff remained the foremost story-teller of our group, while Rugged Rich was honorary chairman of the Blake chapter of the Lost Hearts Society. These two pioneers also became fine athletes. Clifford winning two letters each in football and baseball, and Raines capturing numerals in football, swimming, and golf. Midway through the first year came that noted composer and musician. Reuben Nicholas “Parm” Palm. Jr., whose famous renditions of such tear-jerking numbers as Darktown Poker Club.” “That’s What I Like About the South.” and “I’m A Big Girl Now” have won him the title of “T he Beggar’s Phil Harris.” Rube has another claim to fame—he was one of the originators of the game of spiel-ball, the senior room combination of handball, squash, and tennis. At the last count five seniors, Hutchinson, Day. Donaldson. Ueland, and Palm pronounced themselves world champions, spiel-ball rivalling wrestling in that respect. In the second.grade Scott Donaldson joined our ranks. Donnie later captained the tennis team to a record of 27 straight victories and served faithfully (though in a losing cause) as captain of Blake’s undernourished cagers. He also served as 28 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN captain of the Whites, but relinquished the Pflaum Cup to John Clifford, under whose able direction the Browns vanquished the Whites. 586 to 500. Scott was editor-in-chief of the TORCH and this delayed CALL O' PAN. and was selected as the Ivy Odist of 1946 by his classmates. Joining our group in the third grade was a veritable Mutt and Jeff combination. For it was in the fall of 1936 that Carroll Crawford and Roscoe Webb joined our class. Perhaps Carroll’s outstanding characteristic is his venomous gift of gab, which enables him to run down and hold prostrate any individual who has been unfortunate enough to arouse his fearful ire. The topic of most of these discussions is much too well known to be mentioned here. From the moment the “Jeff” part of the combination. Roscoe Webb, entered Blake until he received his diploma he proved himself to be perhaps the most conscientious student in the class, a fact which merited him a coveted membership in the Cum Laude Society. Enrolling in the fourth grade were two more seniors who have a compatibility of sorts. Both Jack Bros and J im Ueland are famous for their open houses. Jackson might also be termed the plutocrat of the seniors, his passion for art being evidenced by his statement with a straight face, too—that the one riling he lives for is art. “Yunk” is undoubtedly the favorite whipping-boy of our group, and suffers all sorts of indignities, largely because of his abounding good nature. Once aroused, however. Tim will charge his opponents with reckless abandon, even if they are twice his size. J'im climaxed his athletic career by winning a letter at wing on the hockey team and another as manager of the baseball squad. In 1939 this collection of innocents trekked out to the big school at Hopkins, where it took them some time to acquaint themselves with the ways of their big brothers. However, after a few trips to the senior domicile, they learned the laws of the school. In the First Form two members of our present number joined us. Dave Duff journeyed from Groveland and immediately became one of the most popular members of our class. Although not athletically inclined. Dave 29 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN served as hockey manager last winter and found his niche extra-curricularly behind the footlights. John Hutchinson our most popular and respected companion. also enrolled in that year. Hutch won a letter in football last fall, and played guard for Mr. Lundholm’s leapers. After three years on the student council John received the greatest honor the school can confer when he was elected Head Boy. Hutch also was salutatorian of his class, and possesses a fund of scientific knowledge which is unrivalled through the school. Two more lads joined our forces in the second form. Chick DeLaittre came from Kenwood, bringing with him a perpetual ray of sunshine which was to brighten the dull existence of his mates during the next six years. Chick did well athletically, captaining the hockey team to a very successful season and capturing letters in football and golf as well. His popularity was attested by election to the council. Dave Morse also entered our ranks in 1940. Dave is very much interested in music, and criticizes with professional disdain whatever meager efforts meet the challenge of his discriminating ear. Both DeLaittre and Morse have achieved additional distinction as class Romeos. In the Fourth Form the class was given quite an uplift with the entrance of three new members. These included Gene Day. purity king and frustrated lover, who endeared himself to his classmates by his indignant defense of his Greatgrandfather Conkey: Jim Ward, noted scholar, halfback, defenseman, golfer, chapel speaker. Williams Theme winner, council member, valedictorian. Princeton trophy winner. Strieker Athletic Cup Winner. Williams Alumni Award recipient. Michelson Golf Trophy winner. Press Club representative. TORCH reporter. Harvard Trophy winner, and wolf: and J im Stoker. Cliff's crony and smoothest member of the class by all odds. Tim also achieved consistently high marks through his four years at Blake, and captured a letter at end in football last fall. Pat Ryan and Restor Johnson enrolled in the Fifth Form. Pat. who almost singlehandedly put on the Blake Plays last winter, also was on the T ORCH board, a member of the Glee Club, and an excellent debater and public speaker. Restor. with the possible exception of Ueland. absorbed more ribbing than any of his compatriots. Snowball. Turkish Baths. Touche, Glenn Pullens. No coordination—all these were passwords guaranteed to throw him into a frenzy. Restor won the laurels in the l ime Test for two successive years and staggered his way to a well-earned letter at guard on the gridiron. The last to join our number, Burt Cohen, Ed Bidwell. and Hall Roberts, journeyed to Blake in the Sixth Form. All were valuable additions to our class. Burt immediately took his place as the class wit. He was chosen vice president of his class last fall, and he was a watch-charm guard for the cagers and a point grabbing number four man for the linksters for two years. Hall, generally considered a mild-mannered individual, exhibited a fiery temper when accosted in a senior room brawl. His interest in radio and ability to pantomime his teachers are also well known to his mates. Ed Bidwell came to Blake and persevered in obtaining good marks. As a result of his perseverance he was awarded the John Grafton Burgess Memorial. The class of 1946 likes to think that Ed's perseverance is typical of the group as a whole. Cursed with very little natural ability the members have plugged along, set a fine example for the rest of the school to follow, and under the exceptional leadership of John Hutchinson attempted to make the scholastic year of 1945-46 one which would be a fitting and lasting tribute to Mr. Alder. 30 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN EDWIN LINDSLEY BIDWELL III Entered Blake in 1944 Biddy” Ed Dartmouth Perseverance is more prevailing than violence” —Shakespeare “WEIGHT forward . . . knees bent . . . feet together . . . now throw the weight to the outside ski . . . bend the knees into the hill . . . swing the shoulders,'' and Ed Bidwell does a beautiful though imaginary Christiania in the senior room. Ed. the foremost ski expert and enthusiast of Blake School, thinks, talks and dreams about skiing in all its various forms, from the schuss to the jump. Since he entered Blake in 1944. Ed has caused Blake ski activities to climb sharply upward both by encouraging and teaching younger skiers and supervising the construction of a more terrible ski jump on the site of the old one. Though skiing has been his forte, nevertheless Ed has figured prominently in two other important events this year. The Dramatics Association elected him Property Manager at their meeting in the fall term. About the time the stage crew was expected to go to work on the plays, Ed fell victim of a serious case of influenza. Somehow he kept his stage crew working and a few hours before the curtain went up he climbed out of bed to polish off some of the rough spots, making the stage handling very successful on “the night.'' Ed’s other important contribution to extra-curricular activities was his work as business manager of the Glee Club. Mr. Allen himself declared that it was Ed's efficient management that made the concert the most successful financially in the history of the Club. As an athlete. Ed is one of the fastest runners in the school, a fact which made him valuable in football last fall. Though he was the only man who knew all four backfield positions, he was found too light for the varsity. However, he proved a vauable asset to the J. V.’s. This winter he was elected to the Blake Union, an honor which he could not have enjoyed if he had graduated in January as he had planned. It is to a revision of the draft law that the school and the class are grateful for allowing Ed to finish out the year normally. 31 THE 19 4 6 O PAN CALL JOHN DRENNEN BROS Entered Blake in 1939 Jackson ' Georgetown University I dreamt 1 dwelt in marble halls, with vassals and serfs at my side”—Burns WHEN the ceiling of Mr. Bryan’s studio (the ill-fated cubicle located beneath the Blake senior room) bulges, cracks, and threatens to give way altogether, the source of the disturbance often proves to be him whose picture adorns the space above. Yes. “Jackson” Bros can be seen at all seasons leaping recklessly from table to chair to bookcase to sofa. etc. (ad infinitum), of the Blake Senior room in playful pursuit (much like that of an orangutan) of a classmate. By the time this Call O'Pan reaches its readers, perhaps only sawdust and splinters will remain of the once-glorious senior room. But Bros does more than damage to the senior room. Indeed, it is through his influence that the mysteries surrounding painting and sculpture have passed away for many in the senior class. Drennen s erudite discussions of art objects do great good towards elevating otherwise uninformed Seventh Formers. These discussions often reach stormy proportions, however, when they are delivered in Mr. Bryan’s History of Art class, of which Bros is an avid member. Drennen. a Baroque “disciple.“ constantly clashes with the more reserved tastes of Mr. Bryan. Probably Bros’ unflinching spirit will someday lead to fame and fortune in the artistic world. Who can tell? Another bone of contention with Bros is “play.” with which he is not completely sympathetic. Just how it is that Bros managed to elude all but two play periods during the first two terms of his senior year will probably never be fully known. If not the mainstay of the athletic program at Blake, he is a prominent supporter of extra-curricular life. For the Blake Plays, he portrayed Northumberland in “Richard 11,“ and in the Blake Glee Club Concert, set the audience rocking with laughter at his antics as a member of the quartet. Bros is also a Lower School lunch waiter, in which position he sees that the younger boys maintain only the best standards of table etiquette. We hope Bros’ elevating influence will have as worthwhile an effect on Georgetown as it has had on Blake. 32 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN JOHN COOLEY CLIFFORD Entered Blake in 1933 Cliff’’ Williams A very merry, dancing, drinking, laughing, quaffing, and unheeding one. —Dryden MANY times each week, a respectful silence falls over the senior room. On such occasions, a circle of seniors may be seen eagerly lending ears to the latest escapades of John Clifford, as related by him and his inseparable companion, Tim Stoker. For many years, since the First Form, in fact. Cliff has held the position of class Casanova and adviser of the lovelorn. John, himself, apparently has never been “lovelorn. and consequently, his colorful tales of recent adventures with the fair sex never fail to inspire his classmates with awe. Women-folk, however, play only a nocturnal role in the life of our hero. Besides staggering beneath the load imposed by three subjects this year, John has played an integral part in various extra-curricular activities. In the Dramatics Association, after playing the role of an East Indian assassin. Kodah Kahn, in his junior year. Cliff served as Business Manager this year, while terrifying the audience with his portrayal of the heroine’s father in “The Man in the Bowler Hat.” John’s inimitable diabolical grin, aided and abetted by natural satanic eyebrows, lent a definitely sinister air to this part. Besides these attributes of physique, Cliff possesses some 220 pounds of avoirdupois, which he used as a tackle on the varsity team for the last two years and as a waiter at lunch early in the year, where he imposed more strain on the already failing hinges of the dining-room doors. John also established an admirable record during hockey and baseball seasons by playing defense and catcher, respectively. He further advanced the Blake athletic program by serving as secretary of the Athletic Association this year. John has experienced West House and all its terrors (most of which he has managed to foil in some manner or other), off and on during his school career, and brightened up both Blake and its boarding department with his colorful attire, remarks, and personality. Doubtless John will have the same brightening effect on Williams University, where he expects to enter soon, if the “men in khaki” don’t get him. 33 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O ' BURT HARRIS COHEN Entered Blake in 1944 Burt Stanford ”1 am not only witty in myself, but the cause that is wit in other men.”—Shakespeare ALTHOUGH Burt entered our distinguished group at the beginning of his junior year, in two years he has made an enviable record. He has achieved excellent grades, a feat that even the old-timers find difficult. One of his particular fortes is creative writing. Few of us will forget his Williams theme, “Pessimism ?’’ However. Burt is not alone proficient in the field of scholarship. His popularity with his classmates was attested both by his election to the Blake Union and his selection as vice president of the senior class. Also musically inclined, he devotes much of his leisure time to the TORCH board in his capacity as Platter-Patter writer. This pastime serves a double purpose: as a result. Burt can listen to his favorite platters as well as gather material for a forthcoming column. He is one of the veritable jazz “fiends.’' although his tastes lean more to the modern imitations of the “real thing.“ Cohen’s canon, an interesting application of Newton's famous law of universal gravitation, has brought him recognition as Blake’s most practical physicist. His original revelation of this theory held us all spellbound. and experiments made by various seniors have amplified and confirmed Burt’s assumption. His discovery is less crude but perhaps just as straightforward as Lowe’s law of 1945 fame. More than one of us have been astounded by Burt's accounts of the previous week end, generally spent in the vicinity of Washburn high. His adventures in the realm of feminine conquest provide appropriate material for the Monday morning discussion group. His seemingly inherent gift of wit makes him a desirable member of any “bull session.” His sports activities have been extensive. For two years he has cavorted in the fieldhouse as a guard on Mr. Lundholm's cage quintet. On the gridiron he played for Pete Parks’s undefeated J. V. eleven, and earned a letter on the golf squad last spring. His performance in all fields at Blake is adequate to assure a successful college career at Stanford. 34 THE 9 4 6 CALL PAN O i CARROLL EDGAR CRAWFORD Entered Blake in 1938 Tough Carlos Brown 1 thank whatever gods may be for my uncon qucrablc soul. —Henley UPON entering the senior room, one may notice that a group of seniors is gathered around a small blond young man who is lecturing with a tone of authority on the evils of womankind. Even a hopelessly near-sighted person would know that it was “Tough Crawford off on another of his woman benders. The history of this unusual senior began way back in the days of the depression, for Carroll entered Junior Blake in 1938 and has been a charter member of the class since then with the exception of his sophomore year spent at Thachcr. Carroll's main love is sports of any and all kinds. Since he was too small for the varsity, he played football on the J. V. His play throughout the year was outstanding, for his speed on the gridiron is blinding. During the winter. Carroll becomes a rabid hockey enthusiast. Unfortunately, prospects for a fine year on the hockey team were ruined when he underwent an operation on his knee. However, his support of the team even when he could not play was a typical example of his spirit. Baseball is Carroll’s spring term sport, and he has served excellently as a catcher on the school team. Carlos does not devote all of his time at school to athletics, for he is the author of “Sport-Lites in the TORCH, and is an active member of the Glee Club. After school ends in June. “Tough turns to his favorite sport—sailing. T rophies resulting from racing on Minnetonka litter his room. Despite “Tough's attitude toward the opposite sex when they are not around, he seems extremely at home in their presence. Possessing the ability to make any story interesting, he surrounds himself with women who are fascinated by his harrowing tales. Next fall, Carroll plans to enter Brown University and we know that the popularity which he enjoyed at Blake will follow him there. 35 THE 19 4 6 O I PAN C A L L EUGENE CONKEY DAY Entered Blake in 1942 Gene” Minnesota Who well lives, long lives.”—Du Bartas MODERATION in all things is sometimes a virtue. However, this cheerful, bespectacled member of the graduating class fails to see the merit in such a practice, for he invariably gives himself wholeheartedly to the activities in which he participates. His conscientious application of his varied talents has made him not only a most avid supporter of Blake athletics and extra-curricular activities, but also one of the most popular of the seniors. For four winters Gene spent hours of continuous effort in the Minneapolis Club pool improving the stroke which made him a consistent point-winner in swimming meets and which, together with his leadership qualities and genial nature, resulted in his being chosen as captain of the swimming team in his last year. The winner of two letters in this sport and of the Guy Thomas Trophy are ample evidence of the quality of his performance. His brawn and brain have made him a formidable opponent of rival gridiron stars, and with a minimum of injury and his usual maximum of energy put out. Gene held down a regular position on the varsity football squad last fall, where he won a letter at end. This spring, he managed the tennis team. In his junior year he was elected to the Union, and there became one of the stalwarts in the bi-weekly discussions. Many Union members, however. have expressed their regrets at never having had the opportunity to listen to his “impromptu speech on Dover. Recognizing Gene's talent in financial affairs, the senior class chose him as their secretary-treasurer in the election last fall, and he has been fighting their inclinations toward tight purse-strings ever since. Turning his attentions away from school with many of the lighthearted seniors. Gene has been extremely busy of late on the field of battle and seems to have been successful in proving that it’s a man’s world, but that they are glad to share it, for he was the first senior to lose his class ring. Barring call into the Army, he will turn his attention toward the U. of M. campus in the fall. 36 THE CALL O I PAN 19 4 6 CHARLES DeLAITTRE Entered Blake in 1940 Chick Chullah Brown Oh! The heart is a free and a fetterless thing, a wave on the ocean, a bird on the wing”—Pardoe EVERY Monday morning. Chick can be found with a blissful grin on his face, trying to cheer up his classmates, who are content to let him rave about the previous week-end in the knowledge that they may rest in peace during the chapel service. His constant effervescence may conceivably be attributed to the fact that he sleeps no less than fourteen hours each night. For a long time seemingly ignorant in the ways of females harbored in the local seminary. Chick has recently proved himself no mean exponent of every Blake lad’s favorite indoor sport. Chullah. however, has not devoted all of his ten waking hours to pursuit of the weaker sex. His popularity has been evidenced by two years’ membership in the Union. In his final year at Blake he was rewarded for his loyalty with the highest possible distinction, election to the student council. Chullah also served faithfully and competently as business manager on the publications board. In regard to his capability in this task, we suggest you look at the back of this CALL O' PAN. Chick has been a stellar performer on the athletic field as well. He particularly excelled on the hockey rink, where for two years he stopped with unceasing regularity the futile attempts of opposing teams to penetrate Blake’s meshes. He captained the pucksters last winter, and was the recipient of the Dartmouth trophy for the most valuable competitor. When Chick is not lost in contemplation of his loved one. he finds time to satisfy the demands of the Big Four (Cleveland. Lundholm, Phillips, and Hodgkinson) in such a way as to merit better than average grades. Another member of the after lunch world problems discussion group, he has on numerous occasions proved the stoutness and stubbornness of his vocal chords. Along with Ueland. Crawford, and Duff. Chullah spends his leisure afternoons gazing upon the offerings of the downtown cinema palaces. Seriously, though. Chick is one of the most respected and best liked members of the senior class. He will undoubtedly be a great asset at the college of his choice, Brown University. 37 THE 19 4 6 CALL P A N O ’ JOHN SCOTT DONALDSON Entered Blake in 1935 Donnie “Scott Yale I am Sir Oracle, and when 1 ope my lips, let no dog bark.''—Shakespeare “DONALDSON, in the interests of basketball at Blake School, would you please refrain from shooting baskets in the senior room. —Mr. Lundholm. This quotation reveals Scott's winter afternoon sports activity. The fact is. he is a bug for basketball, and during the past basketball season he was the spark that made the Blake team as successful as it was. Besides alternating between guard and forward for the Alma Mater, he played for not one. but two church teams. But basketball is not Don's athletic strong point, though it is a close second: for tennis constitutes his forte. This past year has been his fourth as number-one man on the tennis team, a fact which indicates his ability. Besides this amazing record he has won many prizes outside of school: both Scott's past and future are bright in the field of tennis. Last fall, however, he did not make tennis his afternoon activity, but concentrated on football. Though small for varsity football he did very well on the J. V. at the center position. This year Scott was elected to the Union, and has since been an interested member. His speaking ability led to his winning of the Thorpe cup. The high point of his extra-curricular activities, however, has been his work on the publications. In school work he excels in creative writing, and has carried his talent into his work in journalism. Elected editor for the 1945-46 year, he and Chick were forced to shoulder a $300 debt even before they undertook the duties of editor-in-chief and business manager. Because of their supervision of the use of funds, however, the Board has finished its year out of the red. Known all over the country for his notorious blue convertible, Scott is a confirmed jazz addict and loves a lively night. At Yale, the college of his choice, Scott will without question enter easily into the spirit of the life there. 38 THE 1946 CALL O’ PAN DURING any Lower School lunch period. Dave may be seen in action as head waiter, assisting Miss Berglund in the management of the lunchroom. Although many indignant persons may say that he makes the waiters under his command do far more work than they should, and that he never commits himself to one iota of labor in this capacity, Dave claims that all these rumors are totally unfounded. Aside from his lunch room activities David has turned to varsity team management as another of his endeavors. After being assistant manager of the Varsity teams during his junior year, he was elected manager of the hockey team for this last season. Again, rumors have it that the assistants did most of the work; however, it is known that David did show up to look after the team and act as timer in most of the games. Athletic prowess is demonstrated by manager Duff very effectively in the senior room, where he may be seen on numerous occasions letting loose his destructive vigor on some unfortunate member of the class. The violence of his senior room gymnastics has been a major contributor to the deplorable state of the senior room couch. In extra-curricular activities. Dave has turned his talents to dramatics. He was the only one in the class able to qualify for a role in the Blake Plays in his freshman year, and he continued in the field of histrionics by carrying roles in both his junior and senior years in the Dramatics Association's productions. David’s pleasing personality and his ever-ready smile (when he is not engaging in one of the frequent senior room fracases) have won him lasting popularity with his classmates. Although he is the youngest member of the senior class, he has done well in his studies, and his marks have been consistently high during his school career. Since Dave is too young to be drafted in the near future, he will continue his good record at Yale next fall. 39 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN WINTER GEHRING ENSIGN Entered Blake in 1945 ’'Wint” Grinnell I love such company as is quiet, wise, and good.” —Shelley AFTER many years of toil in some of the Minneapolis Public Schools. Winter Ensign decided to join the student-body of Blake, which he did in his junior year. In the short span of less than two years. Wint has made himself a real favorite with his classmates, who. although they continually joke with him for one reason or another, think very highly of him. Winter has been of inestimable aid to the school athletic program by his service as manager of the Blake basketball team, which formerly played a rather insignificant role in school sports. Under Ensign's management (which involved securing transportation and gyms, and arranging games with other teams), the Blake basketball team has emerged into a prominent position—with its own page in the CALL O’ PAN this year. Besides acting as one of Mr. Phillips’ “right-hand men, he has also been of real aid to the school through his service as a stage-hand for the Blake Dramatics Association’s plays. Some of the props with which Winter helped were the sarcophagus and door in “A Message from Khufu (and the off-stage “wind-machine’’ used the same play), and most of the properties for another play, for which he headed the “prop crew.” Since Winter took physics in his junior year, he may be regarded as having been a refuge and strength to his suffering classmates who chose to struggle through the subject’s pains in their senior year. As a senior. Winter also took chemistry, as well as senior mathematics, and from his marks in these subjects, his choice of engineering for a career seems to have been a good one, since he is more or less scientifically inclined. Ensign's most outstanding characteristic is his ability to get along with people. He takes as much brow-beating from faculty and classmates as anyone, but comes through it all unspotted, unstained, unscathed, and ready for more. Winter’s captivating personality should win friends for him wherever he goes. Right now, he’s headed for Grinnell where he will begin his study of engineering in the fall. He’s bound to succeed. 40 JOHN CORRIN HUTCHINSON Entered Blake in 19 9 “Hutch” Harvard CUM LAUDE HEAD BOY The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, the hand to execute”—Anon WHEN not preparing a speech to be given as Head Boy. searching out a Friday evening speaker as president of the Blake Union, writing an editorial as managing editor of the TORCH, conducting a class meeting as president of the senior class, or pondering over new possibilities for lens shots for the year book ‘'Hutch could usually be found explaining to some less scientifically-minded senior the principles behind various physical, chemical, or mathematical phenomena. Since his entrance to Blake in the first form. John has been one of the school’s outstanding leaders. The high esteem in which he is held by his classmates is evidenced by the fact that they have chosen him their president for three consecutive years. Examples of the regard for him possessed by the remainder of the student body and the faculty are his four years of conscientious service on the Student Council and his election as Head Boy this year. But he has distinguished himself not only as a leader in the Student government, but also in scholarship and, when time was left him for athletics, in that field also. John ranked first in the class scholastically in the lower school, and has maintained an enviable record throughout his high school career, ranking second in the class for the four years. He has participated in sports continually and climaxed his efforts by winning a letter as starting end on the varsity football squad this year. In other extra-curricular activities Hutch has not been idle. He was vice-president and later president of the Union. For three years he lent his vocal talents to the local choristers, the Glee Club. Serving as a substitute on Martha’s faithful staff, he often was employed in the envied capacity of upper school waiter. During the last year John has become more appreciative of the lighter pastimes and has been a regular supporter of Blake dances and other extraacademic activities. Although he accelerated his studies at summer school, the war’s end permitted him to complete the regular course, and he will commence his higher education at Harvard in the fall. 41 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN RESTOR EMANUAL JOHNSON, JR. Entered Blake in 1943 ‘'Snowball'' Restor” Minnesota More sinned against than sinning. —Shakespeare MORE than once, innocent passers-by who chanced along the hall before the senior room have narrowly escaped serious injury from the impact of flying human bodies, hurled through the senior room doorway. And more than once. Restor Johnson's has been one of these bodies. A chronic grappler, slugger, and “senior room style” fighter. Restor keeps things moving after the now-immortal word. “Touche!,” has been called. Chairs, books, pillows, paddles, and articles of clothing serve as missiles for senior room brawls, in which Restor figures heavily. Restor. short and stocky, is a unique figure as he wages his onslaught on “Yunk.” “Stoke,” “Chick.” or some other playful classmate. He has the distinction of being the best-informed on current events at Blake, having won the annual Time Test, in his junior and senior years, attaining scores of 99 and 89. respectively. In his sophomore year. Restor placed second in the contest for general information. By way of contrast to this admirable record, there exists the problem of “Johnson vs. Spelling.” His spelling not only has kept Blake masters guessing for three years, but has admittedly caused some confusion for Restor himself. In the field of spelling, Restor perhaps wavers, but in the field of debate, he fights through to the bitter end. In 1943-44, Restor was among Mr. Vaughan’s debaters, and after a year discussing the League of Nations. Restor became an upper-school waiter the next year, and the year after that, where he continued the field of debate—this time with Miss Berglund. on topics relevant to waiting on tables. Restor's lunchroom tiffs, however, are no more inspiring than his gridiron and rink battles. He has loyally served the J. V. hockey team as defense man and played the guard position on the football team during his senior year. Restor’s school spirit is further evidenced by his election to and service in the Blake Union. Whatever Johnson’s post-Blake destination, his many talents should serve him well. 42 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN DAVID GUILFORD MORSE Entered Blake in 1940 “Dave” Brown 'Learn the sweet magic of a cheerful face: not always smiling but at least serene.”—Holmes DAVE entered Blake in the second form and has fought the good fight during the last six years. In doing so he has become one of the most popular members of the class. To his friends, Dave is an unceasing wonder, for in spite of his quiet manner, he has more varied interests than any other senior. His chief love is music, classical, jazz—any type one can name. In addition to music, Dave is much interested in electrical work, and he served as head electrician for the Blake Plays this year. In athletics. Dave s main sport is football. Ever since he was able to don a suit as a C team player, he has made first teams consistently. His play at end and center on the A team was outstanding, and Mr. Glenn looked on with the hope that a few years would see him large enough to play varsity football. However, after missing a season. Dave was still a little too small for varsity material. Good naturedly, he turned his talents to the J. V. team and played outstandingly there to help the team to its undefeated season. Tennis, another of Dave’s sports, is his chief interest in the spring. As in athletics, he has particularly concentrated talents in academic work and the field of writing seems to be one of them. Author of many letters to the editor. Dave is the leading progressive in the class, advocating senior privileges of unlimited scope. As a Lower School waiter. Dave ignores all entreaties to the contrary by employing unbelievable speed in clearing off his tables. However, not all of Dave’s life is spent in school, for he leads a notorious social life. It is in this realm of forget-fullness that Dave blossoms forth. No longer the quiet, bashful senior, he frequents high school dances and the Prom. Next fall, if the draft doesn’t interrupt his plans, Dave plans to enter Brown. It won't take him long to win as large a number of friends there as he has during his years at Blake. 43 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN REUBEN NICHOLAS PALM Entered Blake in 1934 Rube'' Parm Harvard That which ordinary men are fit for. I am qualified in: and the best of me is diligence.”—Shakespeare SEE that cloud of dust on the horizon in the direction of Lake Minnetonka? Reckon that's Reuben coming now. Let s see—he’s about fifteen miles away at this instant: if he’s up to snuff today he ought to be here in about forty-three seconds. It’s amazing those cars can take it even though they're new ones. It’s rumored that one of them has given out already. Yep, as a fiendish driver. Reuben takes the cake. Guess that’s what twelve years at Blake school does for you— Parm” is one of the three boys in the class who started at the bottom rung of the Blake school ladder. Now he wants to attend Harvard Business School— (guess he can’t get enough hard wark.) Speaking of hard work, Parm (it was Chief who originated that pronunciation) was one of the hardest working members of Mr. Lundholm’s ’46 basketball team. Two or three times a week Reuben would drive (or would you call it pilot. for it was close to flying) down to the Lyndale Congregational Church, the team’s home floor. Though number “2 in the center position, he nevertheless worked hard all year and played in a good percentage of the games. For the last two years, one of the most reliable members of the Glee Club has been Reuben. If he has missed any of the rehearsals at all, those absences do not total more than two or three. He has been a stalwart in the second tenor section, which this year, was the mainstay of the Club. Last summer Reuben attended Summer School in hopes of graduating before being caught in the draft. When the draft law was changed, however, he wondered if it wouldn't be wiser to graduate as planned and enter Harvard University. Since the others decided to remain at Blake, he did also. He says now that he does not regret that decision. Certainly his classmates do not. 44 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN RICHARD CAMPBELL RAINES, JR. Entered Blake in 19 34 Dick Wesleyan A simple maiden in her flower is worth a thousand coats-of-arms. —Tennyson AN exponent of boogie-woogie, an ardent attendant of Wednesday evening TORCH meetings, and a connoisseur of the lighter arts. Dick is known for his general enthusiasm, conversational inexhaustiveness, and propensity toward year-round spring fever. His nocturnal endeavors have continually provided the editors of the T ORCH with choice material for the Sound and Fury column, while his limitless interest in local athletics have made him a leader in the avid group of seniors who frequent the various sports spectacles. Although he is a charter member of the senior-room bull sessions, and is constantly worried about his inability to “settle down. Dick is one of the most serious minded members of the class. His participation in the support of Blake athletics and other extracurricular activities have won him the respect and admiration of his classmates as well as the rest of the school. His athletic prowess is highlighted by his swimming ability. He is the possessor of three letters for his aquatic accomplishments, and was awarded the Arthur Trophy last winter. However, his versatility is proved by his winning of four golf letters, and a varsity football letter. His career in athletics was climaxed by his captaincy of the golf team this year. Throughout his Blake career. Dick has been musically minded. He is one of the few seniors who are fortunate enough to be talented piano players, and his boogie-woogie is especially well known to his friends. In school he has taken advantage of the opportunities presented by the Glee Club, and Dramatics Association. and. after three years in the former organization, was chosen president for his senior year and led the group through a very successful season. Being one of the better speakers in the class. Dick won honorable mention in the Fifth Form Declamation Contest as well as in the T horpe Cup contest. Dick became a comedy star in the Dramatics presentation of 1944. but relinquished his role in 1 945 to become a stage hand. He is one of those seniors blessed by an autumnal birthday and is therefore free from conscription worries and able to look forward to a continuation of his educational pursuits at Wesleyan. 45 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN HALL MARSTON ROBERTS Entered Blake in 1943 ■'Hall' Carleton Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.” —Lincoln HERE is an exception to the rule that, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” At Blake, there are those disgruntled scholars who complain of mal-treatment at the hands of “fiendish” instructors. Hall Roberts doesn't complain, but. instead lifts his fellow seniors from the depths of despondency with pantomines and caricatures of. and poetry about Blake's more colorful masters. Messrs. Alder. Bosanko, Bryan. Hodgkinson. Landsman, and others all suffer from the sharp wit of the “Postville Flash. Hall is also renowned for his fantastic scientific brainstorms. At West House Dormitory, where he resided, he carried into being burglar alarms, automatic doorbells, and various practical jokes, which livened up the place considerably. Last year. Hall planted a good sized victory garden at West House—in one of the beds. This unique approach to gardening merely points further toward the inimitable personality of Mr. Roberts. During the Blake Dramatics “season.” he saw to it that every Dorm dweller had the line. “A woeful pageant have we here beheld.” graven deeply upon his memory. This, his only line in Shakespeare’s “Richard II. firmly established him as a Thespian of the first water. Hall further established himself as belonging in the cultural realm by studying Greek, singing in the Blake Glee Club, and attending Minneapolis Symphony Concerts on occasions. Another favorite pastime is attendance at revival meetings, etc. He can now quote hymns from memory, and occasionally throws his classmates into fits of laughter with vivid descriptions of recent “meetings” he has attended. On the more serious side. Roberts shows himself to be a fine student, and attains honor marks consistently. He has the admiration of his fellow students in this respect and in another—more trying on one’s patience—his service as a lower school lunch waiter. Hall's “clientele” invariably finish eating last, and the patience and genuine friendliness exhibited by Roberts arouse the respect and admiration of all. Hall's winning manner should carry him far next year, too, when he attends Carleton College. 46 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O ' PATRICK MARTIN RYAN. JR. Entered Blake in 194 5 Pat Missouri Nowher so besy a man as he thcr n'as. —Burns THUMBING leisurely through the Call O'Pan. you may wonder whose cherubic visage it is that smiles out at you from almost every page picturing a school organization. The owner of this face is none other than Pat Ryan. Jr. A member of innumerable extra-curricular groups; publications, dramatics, debating, glee club, und so weitec, ad infinitum, Ryan is kept constantly on the run satisfying the demands put upon him by these various activities. In the course of certain days. Pat has been subject to several complete changes of habit, and if a young man were seen running through Blake's halls with coat and tie ‘'above and over-all “below.” he would probably be Pat, dashing from, let us say. debating to dramatics. As the feature editor of the Torch. Pat has valiantly risked his position in the school by writing caricatures of various teachers displaying traits capable of being distorted. However, he writes “incognito,” as Izwalder Schmutt, Jr., so naturally (?) no one knows who authors these columns. Pat has other interests in school activities. Two organizations, the Glee Club and Dramatics, owe much of their success, especially during this last year, to Pat. As President of Dramatics, he played a major role, understudied another, was assistant director, and constructed much of the scenery. As general handy-man of the Glee Club, he assisted with the advertising for the concert, the creation of the program, and the sale of tickets. Further supporting extra-curricular life at Blake. Pat has been responsible, during his three years here, for the painting of numerous posters and advertising displays for dances, war stamp campaigns, homecoming football games, war relief drives, and various other functions. To tell the whole story of Pat Ryan, Jr., one would need several volumes, but Blake's busiest senior may write them himself, for he plans to go into journalism, a profession for which he seemed destined at birth, and a brilliant career begun next year at the University of Missouri will merely achieve the success which his popularity and success at Blake have predicted. 47 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN HARRY BEADLING STOKER, JR. Entered Blake in 1942 Tim’' Amherst “A lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing”—Shakespeare FOR years now, the name of 'T im Stoker (who is almost never called Harry Beaching) has appeared in the Blake Call O’ Pan polls—where he is heralded as the smoothest, the best dressed, and the handsomest member of his class. Truly, time has moved forward, but Stoker has staunchly maintained these positions through it all. Over six-feet tall, well-built throughout, and equipped with the face shown in the above cut. Tim obviously merits these praises of his classmates. Stoke, who comes to us from Duluth, Minnesota, feels completely at home in the City of Lakes, where he leads a renowned night-life, ever accompanied by his partner in crime, John Clifford. On these adventuresome expeditions Stoker travels under many guises, most fabulous of which is Jock DeHavcn (a young man in his twenties who hails from New York City). Naturally, such tactics as those pursued by Jock (Tim. that is) cannot help but arouse interest, and sadly, some of his adventures find their way into the Sound and Fury column of the 'PORCH (a fate worse than death). However. all is not social life for Stoker. At Blake, he toils beneath the iron hand of West House Dormitory, where he is one of the two year-round senior inhabitants. Within Blake School proper. Tim works tirelessly and efficiently for Miss Berglund’s waiters' staff. In the field of extra-curricular activities, he was outstanding in his portrayal of Henry Bolingbroke in Act IV of Shakespeare's Richard II.” as presented by the Blake Dramatic Association. Not content with this prize role. Tim also managed the box-office for the Plays. It has been bewailed more than once that Stoker never joined the Glee Club. His rich, baritone voice is always one of the most prominent at open houses in these regions. Further examples of Stoker’s strength lie in his athletic pursuits. In 1944-45, he was a star man on the (now more fully developed) Blake basketball team. As a Senior. Tim served excellently as right-end on the Blake varsity football team. With such a start in life as the one he now possesses, Tim should do well in his work at Amherst, where he will go after graduation from Blake. 48 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN TIMOTHY UELAND Entered Blake in 193 7 “Tim “Yunk Princeton CUM LAUDE A man used to vicissitudes is not easily dejected”—Johnson GENIALITY, efficiency, and the ability to be the center of senior activity are characteristics of Yunk. Invariably an investigator into the causes and effects of a senior room brawl will discover, or uncover, as the case may be. this pugilist engaged in a display of defensive warfare with various rotunda from among our friendly group. His slender build and mild manner are deceiving; for behind his calm physiognomy lurks an anger that is fiery when provoked yet readily forgiving. This ability to overlook disagreements and endure the quips of his associates and his generally friendly nature have won for Tim a host of friends. His keen intellect and industrious attitude make him the not unduly proud possessor of an enviable class record. This class is characterized by an inconceivably small number of students who can be called ‘grinds,” and Tim is not one of them. He is probably the most loyal supporter of the Select. Socialized Society of Salted Shell Suckers and Sarsaparilla Sippers Situated Specially on the Spacious Sidelines of Sports Spectacles, or. in other words, the group which attends the local hockey, basketball, and baseball games. His ardent participation in this form of amusement can be traced directly to an innate interest in things athletic and an intense pleasure derived from social fellowship. Possessing the aforementioned efficiency and being a talented organizer, Tim does an admirable job as secretary of the Second Hand Book store. Although the motives of the four directors are sometimes questioned, he manages to keep the accounts in order and calm the frenzied mob which plagues him with requests and questions concerning that organization. His talents are further employed in the capacity of varsity baseball manager, which is a thankless job and one which he does with as few complaints as possible under the circumstances. In the field of athletics Tim is able as well as interested. He played on the first varsity hockey team this year and was one of the three seniors to receive a letter in that sport. As a member of the Union and as circulation manager of the Publications board, he is also concerned with other school athletics. 49 THE 1946 CALL O ‘ PAN JAMES MERRILL WARD Entered Blake in 1942 “Jim” Harvard VALEDICTORIAN “Young in limb, in judgment old —Shakespeare VERSATILITY seems to be the best word for describing Jim Ward: valedictorian. second-hand bookstore officer, student council member, A. A. officer. Glee Club singer. TORCH reporter, and letterman in football, golf, and hockey. Besides such an admirable list of achievements as this. Jim also possesses qualities which prompted his classmates to dub him as best all-around fellow, best athlete, and as handsomest in the class in CALL O' PAN polls of recent years. Since entrance into Blake in the Fourth Form, he has garnered such prizes as the Williams trophy for the most valuable Varsity football player, the Flannery trophy for the most improved golfer, the first prize in the Williams theme contest for the theme, Turnabout. and other awards of equally enviable merit. At Blake. Jim more or less divides his time principally between the academic and the athletic. Throughout his Blake career, he has placed at the very top of the school scholastically, while he won three letters in football (serving as captain of the Varsity in his senior year), three letters in golf (where he was captain in his junior year), and two letters in hockey (which he earned for his outstanding work as defense). Despite all this, however, he still found time to handle the rather obscure, yet vital, task of serving as sole member of the press club, and keeping Minneapolis newspapers informed of all Blake doings. Furthermore. Jim has not confined his interests wholly to activities relevent to the Urbi et orbi lumen. An Eagle scout. Jim has been seen on frequent week-ends, scouting around the Flour City in his automobile—the fabled blue terror. Whatever accomplishments result from such excursions usually become meat for the senior room Post-Week-end Discussion Group. where Jim takes more than his share of kidding from jealous classmates. Every so often. Ward breaks away from his usual self and gives vent to a surprisingly convincing falsetto female voice, with which he burlesques Minneapolis girlhood. All this, and much more, makes up the personality of Jim Ward, who will leave his superior record at Blake for Harvard University—barring entrance into the Navy. 50 THE 1946 CALL O’ PAN ROSCOE CLAYTON WEBB, JR. Entered Blake in 1939 “Roscoe” Yale CUM LAUDE Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” —Carlyle HEAD waiter and medium through which Miss Berglund and the waiting staff arbitrate. Roscoe is one of the most respected and best-liked of the seniors. Ever since he joined the small nucleus which was our class in the first form, he has attained consistent honor grades, and has graduated Cum l.aude. As a demonstration of his popularity, he was elected to the Union in his junior year, and has recently been elected secretary of that organization. The Publications has been Roscoe’s chief extra-curricular interest, and as a result he is school editor for the TORCH this year. He makes it his nefarious job to change cheap chatter to colorful calumny, submitting the product to the column of ruined reputations, much to the consternation of the guilty victims. However, he has also given his talents to the Glee Club and debating. It is in the field of argument, however, where Roscoe excels. He possesses the ability to convince any and every person who presents views opposite to his that he is not only mistaken, but even boorish in defending such principles. Last fall. Roscoe took over the thankless job of being football manager. He was assailed from every quarter of the locker room, booed, and hooted at for shiftlessness, but actually he was performing the job which nearest approaches slave labor at Blake. At the football banquet Mr. Glenn paid him the compliment of dubbing him one of the most industrious managers in the school's history. However. Roscoe’s real athletic ability lies outside of school sports, for he is an excellent sailor. During the last few racing seasons at Harriet, he has won several trophies for skipping winning boats. As for social life. Roscoe frequents the Prom with his glamazons, and is present at most of the school dances. Undoubtedly, at Yale next fall, his record will be no less enviable than his achievements at Blake have been, in the event that the clutches of the awesome U. S. army fail to grasp him. 51 IliMIHItCUSSMO West Jin trance � THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Back row: Duffy. Pcppard. Bennett. Melin. Thorpe. Pink. Krogness. Dayton. R. Brown. Schmitt. H. Smith. D. Johnson.

The elections were held soon after the opening day. and the results were as follows. Holcombe, president; Hartwell, vice president; and Hickok. secretary-treasurer. Throughout the year the class ranked high in scholarship, and Johnson. Spencer. Melin. Dienard. and Pogue had the highest averages. Also, many boys took part in the plays and contributed greatly to their success. Several from the class were on the publication staff and Howard was the sports editor for this year. On the football team the class of 1947 was very active, for there were twelve men who played and received letters. Also, many played on the J. V. team. In the winter. Howard. Hartwell. Holcombe. Hyde. MacMillan, and Selover were awarded hockey letters. Those who didn’t play hockey either played basketball or swam. Taylor. Kelly. Dayton. Fink. MacMillan, and Schmitt were the outstanding swimmers. During the spring, most of the class played baseball. However, several played tennis, and of this number Taylor was undoubtedly the best man. Dick Pogue represented us on the golf team. In closing. I wish, on behalf of the class, to thank Mr. Lundholm. our adviser, for his splendid help this year. —Dwight Holcombe, President. . 55 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Back row: Norton. D. Moyer, Bruzek. Brown.

Officers elected for the year were: Linman. president; Aurand. vice president: and Gamble, secretary-treasurer. T he Sophomore Class was represented on both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Drill and Linman were on the Varsity while Holmgren, Loufek, Cameron. Aurand and Wittenberg were outstanding on the Junior Varsity. During the winter season, several boys were prominent in Hockey. They were: Aurand. Holmgren. Adams, Drill and Loufek. The Swimming team claimed Larson, Linman, Beard, and Gamble: while Freeman. Dalgleish. and Drill were finalists in the boxing tournament. Most of the boys participated in Spring sports. Loufek. Drill, Bissell. and Linman were out for Varsity baseball and Norton and Adams are both members of Blake's sensational Tennis team. The Fifth Form has been on top in scholastic standings during a good part of the year. Cameron, Hutchinson. Helmick. Webb. Loufek. and Beard have done exceptionally well. Many of the boys, including Norton. Cameron. Murphy. T homson, and Holmgren were active in dramatics. In still another extracurricular activity Norton. Webb, and Beard served on publications. We of the Fifth Form are deeply appreciative of all that Mr. Vaughan, our adviser, has done for the welfare of our class. 56 Wayne Linman. President. THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Back row: Curtin. R.

At the beginning of the year we added many new members to our group, namely, Corbell, Powers, Rogers, Weiser, Hymes. Rodemacher. Gilson. F. Groves, Gram, Hallenberg, Wong, Schwartz, and Binder. Kingman withdrew at the end of the fall term. Football claimed most of the class in athletics last fall. A” Team lettermen were Corbell, Crawford, Curtin. Krogness. Winston. Seed, and Selover. Hallenberg and Grossman were managers. Scherer. Moyer. Hommeyer. and S. Groves played on the J. V. Those on the B” Team were Weiser. Cornelius, and Palm. Many turned out for baseball this spring. The following made the “A”-J. V. squad: Chisolm, Rodemacher. Curtin. Selover. Crawford. Krogness, Wood, Dwinnell, Corbell. Moyer, and S. Groves. Scherer played both on the “A”-J. V. aggregation and the varsity nine. “B teamers were Owen. Scwartz, Weiser. Palm, and Hallenberg. The class was well represented in the Dramatics Association plays. Sweatt, Cornelius, Powers. Scherer. Scwartz, and Dwinnell won parts in the presentation. Our scholastic average this year was not as high as in previous years, but Grossman, Wong, Ringland, and Wood succeeded in making honors at frequent intervals. The class did an excellent piece of work in the Glee Club ticket sales. The boys sold more tickets than any other class, and were rewarded by having possession of the Senior Room for a day. Prizes were also won by several individuals. Richie Crawford winning the grand award for the largest number of tickets sold in the entire school. At the close of the school year we selected Allan Grossman to represent us on the Council in 1946-1947. The class would like to express its appreciation to Mr. Jones for his assistance as our adviser, and also to the other masters for their help throughout the year. 57 Steven Groves, President.

The majority of the baseball players were on the ”B” team this year. Klass, Ueland. Ankeny, Boies, Cross, and Cohen won their letters. On the “C” team Cardie and Eck also won letters. The boys who were not on these two teams joined the “Runkle Sluggers” where their favorite umpire, Mr. Runkle, was in charge. Chardon and Buffington kept the tennis balls flying during the Spring term. Scholastically. Ankeny and Boies held top honors during the school year, while Stiles, Slocum. Lowe and Bingham were close behind them. Eck and Buffington entered the Wilson Cup Contest. Bob Gluek and Pete Klass sold very many ads for the CALL O’PAN.

John Hibbs. and Richard Thomas. The class elected Muzzy Crosby as vice president and Richard Thomas as secretary and treasurer. David Boies and Walter Barry led the Form in scholarship. while David Drill. David Strieker, and Bill Jones managed to get on the honor roll. 'The Second Form won the scholarship plaque for the month of February, over all the other Forms in the school. The privilege granted to the Form was the right to use the middle stair case in the school. During the year, the Second Form had the honor of using the Senior room for a day. This honor was bestowed upon the form for being the first class to hand in their money for the Red Cross. The following lads won their letters on the “B” and “C” teams in football: Muzzy Crosby (Captain), Bill Jones, Charles Gesme, Dick Smith (Manager), and David Strieker received letters on the “B” team, while Robert Nash (Captain), David Boies, Randy Cote. Bob Logefeil, Charles McCarthy, Roger Scherer, Ed Shevlin. and Tom Carpenter received letters on the ‘C” team. John Clark and Fred Boos received letters on the “A” team. During the winter term Dick Larson, John Skoglund. Dick Smith, Fred Boos. John Clark. Muzzy Crosby, and David Drill won letters on the Lower School hockey team. Most of the boys in the Second Form either played baseball or tennis during the Spring term. David Heegaard represented the Second Form in the Wilson Cup public speaking contest. In behalf of the entire Second Form, I want to thank Mr. Wonson. Mr. Calt, Mr. Landsman and Mr. Runkle, our Class Adviser, for a successful year at Blake. 59 David STRICKER, President.

Of this number sixteen were from the junior school and six were from other schools. Early in the year the class held its elections and elected Wurtele president. Cote vice president, and Wong secretary-treasurer. In the course of the school year, many of the boys were represented on the honor roll. Farnand and Barry were the leaders of the class with first honors throughout the year. Others on the honor list were Vennum, Wurtele, Grossman, and Regan. Most of the boys in the class played football on the B and C teams last fall. Almost all who tried out made their letters. Then in the winter, half the class played hockey while the other half played basketball. Again in the spring, a great number played baseball and helped to make the record of the season what it was. A great part of the First Form this year had parts in the annual Christmas play. Several of those taking part held main parts and all contributed much to the success of the performance. We, of the First Form, wish to take this chance to thank Mr. Wonson. our adviser, for helping us make this year a very successful one. —Angus Wurtele, President. 60 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN JUNIOR SCHOOL THE ENROLLMENT of seventy-five boys in the Junior School this year is the largest in the history of this department of Blake. Six full-time teachers, three regular play leaders, and a manual-arts instructor constitute the faculty. The large number of boys wishing to enter, as well as those already enrolled, has made even the enlarged facilities of the Junior School insufficient for the growing demand for more space. As a result of this need. West House will be taken over next year by the Junior Department, and the present First Form (sixth grade) will be included with the first five grades. This change will enable Blake to adopt the six-three-three system—six elementary years, three intermediate years and. three high school years. Highlights of the year included the annual Christmas play, the family picnic in May. and the Fathers and Sons Banquet at which Cedric Adams was toastmaster. in February. The athletic program provides excellent opportunities for fun. body-building, and sportsmanship. All boys must play and practically all find one or more organized sports to their liking.

STUDENT COUNCIL TO THE Council, the student body's representatives in the government of Blake, fall many and varied responsibilities the performance of which often goes unnoticed by the very students whom they represent. This group, composed of seven members of the Upper School is recognized most readily as that which occupies the platform in Chapel on Monday mornings while one of its members leads the school in the regular morning exercises. In all of the work to support various benefit drives, these boys are given the responsibility of collecting money and delivering the necessary speeches. This year the Council carried through successfully campaigns to raise money for the War Chest and the Red Cross. At Christmas time they led the school in two worthy projects. A gift was presented to the help through the contributions of the entire school, and Yuletide packages were sent to destitute children in Europe. This gift to Europe was done for the first time at Blake this year and was met with the hearty approval of all. It is hoped that such a fine project as this may be repeated in the years to come. This group is the primary medium through which the faculty works with the student body as a whole, and as such performs a valuable service to the school. Mr. Alder deserves the appreciation of the school for his work with the Council, and John Hutchinson, our Head Boy, merits a great deal of praise for his inexhaustible efforts as president of the Council and as leader of the boys at Blake. John Hutchinson, James Ward, and Charles DeLaittre were the senior members of the Council for the past year: while Doug Johnson and Jim Howard of the Sixth Form. Wayne Linman and David Winston of the Fifth and Fourth Forms respectively completed the membership of the group. 65 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Back row: Hickok. W. MacMillan. Thorpe. Holcombe, B. Cohen.

UNION THE Blake Union is one of the most highly respected and best liked extra curricular organizations in the school. Its members are elected from the Junior and Senior Classes, and the membership usually numbers about one-third of these two classes. The Union meets every other Friday night at Blake for dinner and a discussion afterward in the Library. Officers are chosen twice annually. The position of faculty adviser is ably filled by Mr. Foss, to whom is owed a debt of gratitude for the time and effort which he gives to the Union. There are three primary purposes behind the Union. First, its members are given an excellent opportunity for public speaking. At every meeting there are both a prepared and an impromptu speaker. Second, problems of the School are discussed and constructive suggestions are proffered at each session. And third, it is. in a way. a club through which the members gain social fellowship. Each year the Union awards a gold medal to the winner of the Fifth Form Declamation Contest, and every Spring it holds it regular banquet at which the fathers are present and the new and old presidents speak. At the last meeting of the year, the Seniors read prepared papers offering criticism of Blake and suggesting improvements which they feel could be incorporated in the school.

DEBATING WITH this year's annual debate question. “Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have at least one year of full-time military training before attaining the age of twenty-four’', Blake’s debating squads, under the supervision of Mr. Allen G. Vaughan, made the circuit of the Minneapolis high schools in a very successful season. On this year’s affirmative side were two-man teams. Hal Wylie and Bob Webb, and J. Marsh Thomson and Robert Gilson, with the negative teams of Bruce Cameron and Archie Spencer. Pat Ryan. Jr., and Jim Slocum, and Tom Powers and Ted Schwartz. The acutal debating season extended only within the limits of the winter term, with the first debate held in February. The debates and their dates are as follows: February 18, S. W. at Blake—Cameron and Spencer: February 19. St. Louis Park at Blake—Cameron and Spencer: February 21, Roosevelt at Blake (double header)—Wylie and Webb, and Powers and Schwartz: February 26, Patrick Henry at Patrick Henry—Cameron and Spencer: February 27.

The annual school debate was held during special help period in the Blake Chapel, with an affirmative of Wylie and Thomson (Alternate, Webb) and a negative of Cameron and Spencer (Alternate, Ryan). Judges decided to award the Strieker Debating Cup to Cameron and Spencer, whose debates were equally excellent. The TORCH revealed that the student-body was negatively inclined towards the issue under debate on the basis of the discussion of March 5. 67 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Back row: C. Crawford. Wylie.

By a limiting of engravings (on which prices had increased over previous rates), omitting the customary six page homecoming issue, conserving on time needed at the printing offices (labor costs), and by cancelling publication of one issue. Scott Donaldson and Charles DeLaittre managed to bring this year s TORCH through the year financially “out of the red.'' Such limitations proved no hindrance to producing excellent material in this year’s TORCH issues, however. Sports photography found a new approach in Bill Keuchle’s Airplane view shots, and sports coverage in writing and pictures was particularly timely in 1 945. Burt Cohen covered the news in phonograph recordings in Platter-Patter, while Izwalder Schmutt, Jr., presented allegorical representations of Blake celebrities in Literary Columns which appeared from time to time. Sport-Lites maintained its usual popularity under the pen of Carroll Crawford. Social life was completely accounted for through the joint efforts of Board members in Sound and Fury, the nondescript column on page four of the TORCH. The two winning Williams T hemes were printed in late issues of the TORCH, and other similar services to readers, such as calendars, sports team line-ups, etc., made for a successful year for the Publications Board in both excellence of material and excellence of service. CALL O’ FAN JUST as the TORCH suffered from debt left by last year’s staff, so the 1946 CALL O’PAN proceeded with more care than usual in the use of funds. With the re-organization of the Glee Club, the Publications Board was able to secure a sizable amount from concert profits, just as it did from proceeds of the Blake Plays performance, early in the year. A Publications record dance was held, but only a small financial gain resulted. Charles DeLaittre's CALL O'PAN ad sellers brought in a notable sum. which did much toward carrying this year’s CALL O’PAN into being. Certain revisions. made at the discretion of Scott Donaldson, effected further financial success. Lens shots of the seniors have been omitted, with the result that longer and fuller biographies take their place. Some pictures and features have been omitted this year, where their loss was felt not greatly important, and in place of these, worthy additions appear, like the basketball page, and the enlarged section on Junior Blake. For various reasons the publication of this year’s CALL O' PAN was delayed until August. Late in the summer an editorial committee composed of Roscoe Webb. Jim Ward. Scott Donaldson, and Tim Ueland took over the responsibility of editing and publishing the yearbook. Much credit is due to Charles DeLaittre, who did a magnificent job in raising money for this year’s publications as well as bringing the board out of the large debt which was handed down from the preceding board. 69 THE 1946 CALL O’ PAN Back row: Kucchlc, Roberts.

DRAMATICS ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President............................................Pat Ryan, Jr. Business Manager ------- John Clifford Stage Manager ------- Edwin Bidwell THIS year’s Blake Plays, presented December 7, 1945, constituted the thirty-first season of the Blake Dramatics Association. As usual, a series of one-act plays were presented, at the Woman’s Club Assembly, where an audience of faculty, students, parents, and friends witnessed the two and one-half hour performance. Mr. Howard F. Jones, who is on the staff of Blake School, was largely responsible for the success of this year’s plays, since he not only directed all four plays, but assisted with their selection, with the business management, and with the scenery necessary for the dramas. The first play of the evening was a tragedy, which had its setting in the interior of Khufu’s tomb. Egypt. “A MESSAGE FROM KHUFU” Professor Hardin Butch Herman Ben Student Director Pat Ryan, Jr. Henry Norton David Hickok Archie Beard, Jr. Fritz Drill This play concerns four men who come to grips over the possession of a priceless emerald which they take from the hand of an ancient Egyptian monarch. buried for centuries in a tomb at the bottom of one of the pyramids. Of the four, only Ben escapes death, and when he leaves the tomb, the light which enters through the door reveals the other three prostrate on the floor, a dramatic end for a gripping play. 70 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN “A CUP OF TEA” Wilfort Wendell, a poet...........................Marsh Thomson Jane, his wife......................................Harry Sweatt Azalea Archer ------- John Cornelius John Archer, her husband ------ Burt Cohen Student Director....................................Skid Thorpe By way of brightening the spirits of the audience after the “blood and thunder” offered by the first drama. “A Cup of Tea,” a comedy, was presented, which action took place in the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfort Wendell.

Act IV of Shakespeare’s “Richard II.” required a large expenditure for costumes, properties, and scenery, and employed the use of the entire Woman's Club Assembly stage and the services of ten supers. The scene took place in Westminster Hall. London, on September 30. 1 399. The center of the stage displayed Richard’s throne, to the left of which was the Bishop of Carlyle’s chair. During the action of Act IV of Shakespeare's play, we see the rising Henry Bolingbroke. who enlists the aid of York and Northumberland in carrying out the deposition of King Richard. Only Carlyle remains true to the King, and he does this at the risk of his life. “THE MAN IN THE BOWLER HAT” John, a householder ------- John Garver Mary, his wife ------- Ted Schwartz Hero...........................................

The identity of The Man in the Bowler Hat remains a mystery until the very end of this play, which leads the spectator through a series of hair-breadth adventures of international scope, all involved in the love affair between the Hero and Heroine. Inside of a few seconds after the lovers’ appearance, the Heroine’s Father enters, with his accomplice, Smithers. both of whom endeavor to extricate the secret of the Rajah's ruby from the hapless Hero. The situation reaches a dramatic peak, with threats, curses, and torture—when the denouement is effected unexpectedly by The Man in the Bowler Hat. 71 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN LOWER SCHOOL DRAMATICS PRESENTING their Christmas pageant with the usual polish and precision, and after a large expenditure of effort and coaching, the Lower School climaxed their dramatics season on December 14. in the chapel. The entire school and many parents attended to make the presentation another success in the Blake dramatic’s year. Varying the program from those of recent years, Mrs. Nunan. director of the Lower School dramatic group, chose one in accord with the feeling of international good will, which accompanied the end of the war and the world-wide endeavor toward peace. There were five parts to the program. The first four were foreign scenes, played by Lower Schoolers supplemented by several Upper School language students, and depicting the hardships and tribulations of the people in China. France, the Philippines, and Germany, respectively. The fifth part was the giving of gift boxes to European children by the students at Blake. “Gung Ho, the first scene, was well acted by Lester Eck. John Buffington, and Ed Wong, all of the Lower School. In the French portion of the play. Mike Bosanko. Jim Slocum. David Duff, Alain Chardon. and Pat Farnand, were the principal characters. The French scene was followed by the Philippine and German sections. In the main roles in these scenes were Joe Ringland. Fletcher Bennett. Tom Colwell, Doug McGandy. and Arthur Hartwell. The Second Form assisted in the Philippine scene and the Third Form in the German. The First Form sang for the French scene. After this portion of the program Jim Ward gave a short talk on the necessity for sending small practical gifts to the oppressed children of Europe, and told of the part that Blake was playing in a national program to do so. The entire student body then filed up and placed its gifts on the platform. This unselfish gesture on the part of the boys was representative of the feeling predominant in the annual presentation by the Lower School. SECOND HAND BOOK STORE ONE of the more inconspicuous yet vital parts of Blake School is the Second Hand Book Store. After a very successful first year, the store began business this fall with a large stock of books to be sold to students at reduced prices. Since its incorporation at the proposal of the Union, the store has been a great benefit to the boys at Blake. Each spring books are bought from the boys and then, throughout the following academic year, they are resold to the incoming classes. Any student or master can purchase stock in the Book Store, and its policies are decided upon and its directors chosen by a vote of the stockholders. In the spring, after its annual meeting, a report is made by the directors to the stockholders and new stock is issued to replace that called in from the graduating Seniors. The Book Store, at first a successful experiment, has broadened out into a very beneficial unit in Blake life.

Director of the Blake Glee Club, the 1945-46 Glee Club season at Blake was the most successful in history, from both a musical and a financial standpoint. After a rather slow start in the fall, since there was a dearth of tenor voices, the club joined forces with boys taking Lower School music, whose voices filled the void very adequately. Early in the year. Glee Club elections were held. Officers elected were Dick Raines, president: Ed Bidwell. business manager; and Hal Wylie, secretary. These members, aided by “factotum Pat Ryan. Jr., were responsible for selling the tickets, arranging rehearsals, managing finances, etc., in such a way as to make this year’s concert, held at Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church, on Saturday night. March 9, a most successful one. After a sum was withdrawn for furthering the Glee Club’s interests, over one hundred dollars profits from the concert were turned over to the publications board for publication of this year’s CALL O’PAN. Assisting Mr. Allen and the Glee Club this year in the concert were Maxine Ingmundson. accompanist, and Fritz Smith, baritone soloist. Mr. Smith’s repertoire included “If Music Be the Food of Love by Clifton. “The Pretty Creature by Storace, “Stornello” by Cimara. Au Pays by Holmes. “I Know of Two Bright Eyes by Clutsam, “Long Ago in Alcala by Massager. How Do I Love Thee by Lippe, and “Toreador Song from Carmen, by Bizet. The Glee Club's selections were Clorinda by Morgan. Oh. My Lawd. What Shall I Do? by Guion. “Doctor Foster by Hughes. Coquetry by Klemm. When Johnny Comes Marching Home by Mead. The Sleigh by Kountz. You’re Right by Gibbs, “A'Hunting We Will Go by Kountz. and Country Fair Waltz by Abt. 73 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN CUM LAUDE BLAKE'S membership in the Cum Laude society was augmented by the addition of four students in the Class of 1946. All four richly deserve this honor, since each one has had to maintain a consistently excellent average during his high school career in order to receive this distinction. It is a significant fact that these four excel in extra-curricular activities as well as in school work. The boys chosen this year were James Ward with an average of 90.38. John Corrin Hutchinson, 85.40, Roscoe C. Webb, 80.99 and Timothy Ueland, 80.85. The initiation dinner was held on Friday evening May 10th, with a large group of regular and honorary members as well as the fathers of the four Seniors. The chief address was given by Rev. Howard J. Conn, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. It seems appropriate to explain the nature of a Cum Laude Society. The organization is nationwide in scope, containing chapters in most of the better prep schools throughout the country. Each year certain students are elected to membership from the graduating class of each school belonging to the Society. These members are admitted on the basis of scholarship and character so that the Cum Laude Society in high school corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in College. The organization was founded in 1906 with the purpose of rewarding and encouraging high ranking students. Blake School, however, did not join until February 12th, 1927. Although the Blake Chapter was not formed until twenty years after the inception of the Society, since then many outstanding young men have swelled its ranks. 74 THE 19 Dr. LeRoy Arnold John Crosby Eugene C.

WAITERS THE task of waiting on tables during the daily lunches at Blake was performed fairly efficiently by the students in the upper two forms. From the long list of applications. Miss Berglund picked twenty boys to serve the tables in both the Upper and Lower Schools. The other unfortunates who were refused the opportunity of being permanent waiters made up a competent staff of substitutes. The headwaiters this year were Roscoe Webb for the Upper School and David Duff in the Lower School. The regular waiters receive their meals free of charge, while the substitutes receive 50c a day for their services. The headwaiters each receive 25c a day in addition to their free meals. Now that the war is over the school has been getting better and more food than has usually been served in recent years. However, there is still much envy among some of the students when they see the waiters' plates piled high with food, while the student body receives its more modest servings. Also, being on good terms with Martha, many of the members of the waiting staff have received sometimes as many as three or four deserts in one meal. The benefits of being a waiter are obvious when the amount of food received and the dictatorial hand with which they rule their helpless “customers are taken into account. Miss Berglund's choices for best waiters: 76 Upper School Lower School . . . .Hugh Smith Charles DeLaittre THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN FORUM THE Blake Forums of 1945-46 were up to the standard of previous years. There were seven meetings at which excellent speeches were given. T he topics this year were generally concerned with the war and its results on our foreign and domestic affairs. Mr. Alder. Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. Bryan, with the assistance of David Duff and Archibald Spenser, were able to procure men who were well qualified to speak on pertinent topics. The first speaker was George Grim, who also spoke the year before. In a speech entitled I Can’t Forget.” Mr. Grim discussed the conditions he saw in Europe on his visits to our troops. He portrayed vividly the conditions that were prevalent among the liberated peoples of Europe. Mr. Grim, an accomplished speaker, made this Forum one of the year's most interesting. Several weeks later, on October 23rd, Mr. Harold Hodgkinson of the Blake faculty explained a few of the least complicated parts of the mechanism of the atomic bomb. Mr. Hodgkinson also put forth in a much simplified version the theory of the atomic explosion. On November 6th. the Blake Forum was privileged to have President Charles J. Turck of Macalester College as the speaker. Mr. Turck’s topic was. Let's Examine the United Nations Charter. Mr. Turck, an expert on his subject, simplified and explained the contents and purpose of this charter. This was one of the most informative forums of the year. Mr. Carroll Binder of the Editorial Staff of the Minneapolis Star-Journal spoke at the Forum of T uesday, November 20th. Mr. Binder has traveled in much of the world and is therefore well qualified to speak on American foreign policy. Mr. Binder’s subject was the future of the United States in the ' Atomic World.” He gave many illustrations of dangers the United States must avoid. Mr. Binder, an excellent speaker, answered capably the numerous questions asked him. A different and a very interesting Forum was presented on January 15th. Minneapolis' Chief of Police, Ed Ryan, delivered a speech entitled “Before Too Late.” Police Chief Ryan discussed the particular dangers and evils confronting teenage boys. Mr. Ryan spoke in a very interesting fashion and put across his points very capably. On January 29th, Blake boys and masters were again privileged to hear Dr. Lawrence M. Gould, President of Carleton College. Dr. Gould spoke on The Arctic and Future Developments.” Dr. Gould has a very intimate knowledge of his subject, since he has traveled there a great deal. Dr. Gould spoke mainly on the political value of the Arctic and its climatic attractions. Three weeks later on February 19th, Captain John Woodhead. System Chief Pilot of Northwest Airlines, spoke on an air route from Minneapolis to the Orient. Captain Woodhead also discussed the Arctic from the point of view of its commercial value to the air lines. Every Forum presented this year had a capable speaker and an interesting topic. Proof of this assertion is the fact that every meeting was attended by a very large majority of the students. This show of interest promises that as long as an interesting speaker is presented the Blake Forum will remain one of the most popular institutions in the Blake curriculum. 77 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Back row: Powers.

BOARDING DEPARTMENT IN 1947 life at West House will be a thing of the past. Blake has decided to abandon its boarding department and revert to its original status as a country day school. During its last year the boarding department has made an enviable name for itself. Under the able direction of Mr. Bryan, who has been assisted by Mr. Jones and Mr. Bloss. the pattern of life at West House has met with no startling innovations. Scholastically the house achieved perhaps the most outstanding record. Among the more notable scholars were Roberts. Melin. Pogue, and Cameron. The achievements of West House in regard to the Blake plays are certainly not to be slighted. Mr. Jones served as director of the Dramatics Association's efforts, and all who witnessed the productions know just how capably he performed his task. Also many of the boarders took an active part in the plays. Fortunately no boys were forced to leave school in order to serve with the armed forces, but George Fahr transferred to Washburn for the last term. Several boys boarded for short periods of time throughout the year. In spite of the many problems Mr. Bryan had to cope with, the West House boarder still received the considerate, individual attention he has always enjoyed. Boarding Department Mr. Wilhelmus B. Bryan. Director Mr. Howard F. Jones Mr. Dale Bloss 78 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O ' PUBLIC SPEAKING WITH Mr. Bryan teaching Upper School students and Mrs. Nunan coaching Lower School aspirants. Public Speaking occupied a major position in the field of Blake's curricular activities. For the first time in history the marks made in the speech classes became of vital significance. At a faculty meeting it was decided that these grades should help to determine position on the honor roll or on the other list. The results of the tutelage of Mr. Bryan and Mrs. Nunan were displayed most effectively cn the chapel platform. The speeches made by the Juniors or Seniors were of uniformly high quality. Every Senior presented two such orations, while each Junior spoke once. Such a procedure will doubtless be continued in the future, since it has enjoyed considerable success in improving a student's ability to remain poised while before an audience, as well as to think on his feet. As usual, there were four major speaking contests during the past school year. The first and perhaps most prominent of these was the annual reading of the Williams themes. The stories were judged not only on content but also on quality of presentation. “The Minnesota Trails was the general topic assigned to the seniors competing in the Thorpe Cup Competition for extemporaneous speaking. The contestants in both the Declamation contest for the Union medal and the yearly Wilson Cup contest displayed extraordinary poise and diction. One of Blake’s most deep-rooted principles is to emphasize public speaking. The success of the speech competition during 1945-46 is a tribute to the practicality of this principle. Many graduates do and will look back upon his training in speech at Blake and be thankful. ATHLETIC STORE UNDOUBTEDLY one of the really vital organs in Blake is the Athletic Store. T his organization goes its quiet, unobtrusive way year after year and receives very little recognition. Providing equipment for all sizes of boys in all seasons of the athletic year, is indeed a job requiring much time and effort on the part of the two directors. This work was thoroughly and effectively done this year by Reuben Palm and his assistant. Hub Melin. Reuben spent more than the usual two years in the store, for he became assistant manager in the Fifth Form when Arthur Dinsmoor left Blake. Bill Hayes' early departure for the Navy last spring gave Hub a head start on his store position, also. The caged-in shelves of the store are open for business at recess every morning and just before play in the afternoon. Athletic goods are provided for the Junior as well as the Senior School. During the past year or two. wartime shortages made it very difficult for the store to obtain many types of equipment: but Reuben and Hub managed to satisfy most of the customers and did an admirable job of running the store. They should be commended for their continued efforts and for their efficient management. 79 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O i DANCES THE ANNUAL dances at Blake are probably the favorite outside activity. The demand for regular dances is very strong among the Upper Schoolers, and this year the various dance committees endeavored to present as fine a program as possible. In all there were four dances to which the Upper School was invited and one. the annual Junior-Senior Prom, for the Sixth and Seventh Forms. The football season was appropriately climaxed by a gala dance, held in the library, and attended by forms three through seven. For this occasion a committee of Juniors and Seniors was appointed, and they handled this dance and the Alumni Day arrangements. In spite of the difficulties encountered in obtaining tuxedoes, because of wartime shortages, the Christmas Dance was formal, according to the precedent set in years past. Following exams the turnout for this affair was unusually large and the Yuletide season was successfully ushered in. The Spring Term found two dances being held. A record dance to raise money for the publications and the usual Spring Dance were both highly successful and lent two evenings of enjoyable relaxation to the term. The Senior Class was treated to a memorable prom by the Seniors of next year. The formal J. S. was held at the beautiful Woodhill Club and was a fitting climax to an excellent year for all. and in the high school career for the graduates. SHORT STORY CLUB A REGULAR activity for Juniors and Seniors during the Winter Term is the ever-popular Short Story Club. This year, as in the past, the Sunday-evening sessions were excellently conducted by Mr. Glenn. Choosing stories of the famous authors which he has found interesting in years past, he held several enjoyable meetings for a group of about thirty, sixth and seventh formers. The Club gathered at the homes of Dick Raines, Charlie Hale, and Rudy Pratt, respectively, and was treated to three fine evenings. At the first session Mr. Glenn read The Willow Walk by Sinclair Lewis and Ring Lardner’s Alibi Ike. The first, a gripping psychological story of an unusual bank robbery; and the second, one of Lardner’s best and most humorous, provided a well-rounded program. At the other two meetings such interesting selections as Joseph Lincoln's Two Pair of Shoes. an exceptionally amusing tale of Cape Cod, and Wilbur Daniel Steele's Footfalls. an intriguing story of murder and vengeance, kept the listeners in close attention. This extra-curricular activity is always one of the most popular, and this year it was a success for all concerned. 80 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN MOTHER’S ASSOCIATION Mrs. Russel H.

This method is very popuar with the parents because it is easier for them to discuss problems with the masters when the group of parents and masters is small. The following mothers were hostesses at the dinners of these forms: Mrs. Horace H. DeLaittre........................VII Mrs. Arthur M. Hartwell..........................VI Mrs. James A.

The annual spring meeting was held after Class Day. At this meeting funds were voted to be used for a part scholarship for the coming year. The nominating committee announced the slate of officers and they were voted upon. Then. Mr. Alder gave a farewell talk describing the additions which will be made to Blake buildings in the near future. In May the Mother’s Association arranged a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Alder. We regret that he is retiring from Blake School this year, but we were happy to be able to give his many friends an opportunity to show their appreciation for the fine work he has accomplished. Mrs. Sigurd Ueland, Treasurer PRESS CLUB THE SOLE function of the Press Club is to handle all Blake publicity in the Minneapolis newspapers. Although this seems to be little enough, the task of gathering the necessary material and of presenting it to the various departments of the city papers often assumes large proportions. The largest portion of material handled by the Press Club is athletic news. The football season is the hardest for the reporters and requires weekly trips to the newspaper. The other sports do not demand such thorough coverage but since there is more than one sport in each season the amount of work is still sizable. Photographers to cover important occasions must be obtained by the Press Club and reports of dances, important speakers, etc., also fall to it. During the past year Jim Ward was the Press Club representative. He was ably assisted by Chuck Kelly, who will assume the duties in the fall. 81 MAJOR SPORTS I'icld House THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Standing: J. Clifford. Holcombe. Seated: Mr. Phillips, Ward. Mr. Cleveland. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION EVERY boy in Blake is a member of the A. A. Every fall the student body meets and elects the officers for the year and they perform several duties. The Football and Hockey-Swimming-Basketball dinners are planned by them and they are responsible for securing speakers. The budgets of the various athletic teams are decided upon by the A.A. Officers and the team captains and coaches and are then proposed to the entire A.A. All business concerning athletics at Blake must be handled through the A.A., the athletic director or Mr. Cleveland, the treasurer. This year the curtailments put upon sporting goods and field equipment by the war emergency, were partially alleviated and the A.A. was able to purchase several dozen parkas for the football team as well as new jerseys. A new score-board for football and baseball was erected in the fall, and new hockey boards were installed. The discontinuance of the drafting of High School students into the armed service has eliminated the inconvenience experienced in previous years of losing officers for the A.A. and lettermen from varsity teams, and the entire program has functioned extremely well. There has been some difficulty encountered in obtaining honor letter sweaters for boys winning three letters, but for the most part these sweaters have been awarded whenever possible. The entire Athletic program has been very successful this year, under the capable guidance of Mr. Phillips, and the outlook for the future is brightened even further by the proposed additions to the athletic fields and the field house. After a slight handicap during the war. Blake Athletics are once again back to a full peacetime schedule.

FOOTBALL WITH the loss of Coach Smith and fifteen lettermen from last year, Coaches Glenn and Wonson were faced with the yeoman task of forming a winning football team from an aggregate of inexperienced aspirants. Although the season's record is not impressive on paper, it doesn’t record the spirit and fight which this team displayed throughout the year, and which brought them from behind in their final game to defeat De LaSalle, 19 to 7. Capt. Jim Ward was outstanding all season, scoring fifty points from his position at left half; and as a tribute to his fine play he received the Williams Trophy. Blake 6—Cretin 21 Encountering a rugged eleven from Cretin in their opener, the Bears, clearly inexperienced, went down to defeat. 21 to 6. Blake scored first, as Ward counted from the twenty in the first quarter. This advantage vanished as quickly as it had come, for the Raiders scored twice before the half was over, leaving the field with an eight-point margin. Leonhart of Cretin scored the final touchdown from the two-yard line. Although at times the Bruins' defense was brilliant, their offense was obviously inadequate. Blake 6—Robbinsdale 20 Pitted against a strong Robbinsdale team in their second game, the Bears were vastly improved over their first showing. If it hadn't been for the Robins' passing combination of Blonigan to Gill, the score might have been different, for Blake crossed into pay dirt first and looked like the winner until Robbinsdale’s deadly pass attack was unloosed. The losers' offense was more potent this game. 86 THE 1946 CALL O’ PAN . Blake 19—Pillsbury 6 Journeying to Owatonna to meet a supposedly strong Pillsbury eleven, the Hilltoppers, recovering from two instances of bad luck in the first quarter, crushed their opponents. 19 to 6. Ward scored two touchdowns, while Howard counted one and an extra point. If Blake's attack had been a little more varied, the visitors might have increased their margin still more, for they bogged down considerably in the second half. Pillsbury scored on a long pass toward the end of the game, after making their only first down. Blake 6—Shattuck 1 2 Blake’s homecoming game with Shattuck went to the southern invaders. 1 2 to 6. for their first win over a Blake team since 1936. Again the Bears hit pay dirt first, as Hyde gathered in a pass from Linman in the end zone. But. as bad luck loomed in the second half, the Shads went on to score twice, once via the airways, to put the game on ice. The Bears’ play was commendable throughout. Blake 33—Deephaven 12 Overconfident at the beginning of this game, the Bears watched an inexperienced Deephaven team score right after the opening kickoff. They fought back with a vengeance, however, and. after leading only 14 to 12 once, ran away with the game, as three quick touchdowns were made. Hyde counted twice on beautiful pass grabs. Ward scored twice on long runs, and Hartwell bucked over from the six to account for the thirty-three points. Blake 6—St. Paul Academy 33 The score of this game does not tell a clear story of the relative merits of the two teams, for up until two minutes were gone from the fourth quarter the Bears were playing their highly touted rivals on even terms, as the score at that point—13 to 6—indicates. At this time a Blake threat had been stopped by the interception of a short pass on the Academy seven. This setback must have taken the fire out of the wearers of the Brown and White, for S. P. A. suddenly exploded for three touchdowns to turn the game into a rout. The Bears, especially the linemen, played their hearts out in an effort to upset their traditional adversaries: but St. Paul’s big line and equally tremendous backfield were too much for the tired Bruins in the last quarter. Blake 19—De LaSalle 7 Recoiling from their defeat at the hands of S. P. A., the Hilltoppers toppled De LaSalle for the third time in a row. 19 to 7. Charlie Krogness skirted left end in the second quarter for twelve yards to open the scoring. 1 he Islanders came back with a touchdown of their own in the third period, but the Bears staged a comeback in the last quarter to gain their third victory of the season. Jim Ward sprang loose for fifty yards and a score, followed by Linman’s counter on a pass from this same Ward. With a comfortable margin of twelve points the Bears stymied any hopes for retaliation by De LaSalle by intercepting four passes in the last quarter. 87 CALL O PAN THE 19 4 6 COACHES’ COMMENTS ON FOOTBALL LETTER MEN Jim Ward (Captain)—A fine John Clifford—The oppon- captain and the high scorer of ents did not run very far over the team.

Adams. Aurand. HOCKEY AT the beginning of the season Blake’s hockey team seemed headed for a bad year, for only four lettermen were present from last year’s squad. But with these four veterans as main cogs—Ward at defense. Holcombe at center, Hartwell at left wing, and Capt. DeLaittre in the goal—the Galbraithmen found themselves in their fourth game and went on to win eight straight, finally ending up with a more than satisfactory record of 8 wins. 3 ties, and 3 defeats. Chick DeLaittre was superb in the nets throughout the fourteen-game schedule, posting six shutouts: and as a token of the appreciation of his teammates, he received the Dartmouth Alumni Trophy, awarded each year to that boy who is voted the most valuable man on the team. As their first opponent, the pucksters met Washburn in the Minneapolis Arena. Sticky ice hindered both teams’ offenses, and neither was able to score during the three periods of play. Next came St. Paul Johnson on the fastest ice seen at Blake in a long time: and the visitors used it to advantage, skating rings around the still sparkless Blake sextet. DeLaittre's play in the nets kept the score down to 1 to 0. but the Bears’ offense was so mediocre as to provide the Johnson goaltender with hardly a puck to stop. 92 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Against Southwest, however, the Brown and White showed decided improvement. Jim Howard, who was later injured and compelled to stay on the sidelines for the remainder of the season, scored Blake’s first goal in three games in the first period. Southwest tied the score at one-all, and it remained that way through two regular periods and an overtime with neither team being able to break it. The Bruins did outplay the Indians, though, giving notice that they might yet develop into a winning team. And develop into a winning team they did! St. Thomas, following Southwest, was smothered. 4 to 0, in a game which showed clearly the improvement which had been made over previous contests. T hen Cretin, always a formidable opponent, “bit the ice” to the tune of 2 to 1 in the St. Paul Auditorium. Johnny Hartwell scored the winning goal on a nice shot in the overtime period. Next came Marshall; and. after the Bears had found themselves behind 3 to 0 in the first five minutes, the outcome was deemed hopeless for Blake. But Coaches Galbraith and Parks spurred their men on to tie the score and then go ahead in the last period. The final count was 4 to 3 for Blake. The football team's defeat at the hands of S. P. A. was partly paid back in the next game, as the Hilltoppers shut out their downriver rivals. 3 to 0. West, Minneapolis High School Champion, fell by the same score. It was about this time that it began to be apparent that the home team really had an organization; and it became even more apparent in the next game, as the Bears walloped Central, 5 to 0, making it three shutouts in a row. Blake continued on the victory path by defeating Cretin once again. 3 to 1. The second line of Adams, Selover. and MacMillan displayed marked improvement in this game, serving notice that they would threaten the first line’s scoring lead. St. Thomas was humbled again, this time, 7 to 0. Holcombe’s two goals led the scoring parade, as seven different boys contributed to the total. Then came that ill-fated game with St. Paul Academy. Played at the Arena, it ended in a 4 to 4 tie, as exciting and at the same time maddening game as was played all season. The Bears played sluggishly in the first two periods, allowing the Acads to take a 2 to 0 lead, but roared back to better that count by 3 to 2. St. Paul tied the score, but Blake took the lead again, as Selover popped a goal. Then, with nine seconds to go, the luck which had been with the Academy throughout the game, loomed again, as a desperate shot from the blue line caromed off a defender's skate into the net. Meeting Shattuck in their last two games, the Hilltoppers went down to defeat twice, 2 to 1. The speed and defensive play of the Cards were too much for the Bears, although they were on even terms with them in both games. All in all, the 1946 season was a very successful one. 93 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O ' Back row: Mr. Wonson. Howard. Clifford. Holcombe, Hyde. Scherer. Ueland (mgr.). Front row: Hale. Bisscll. Mclin. Thorpe. Johnson. Hartwell. Linman Selover. BASEBALL WHEN spring rolled around this year. Coach Wonson was faced with what appeared to be a very good team, for only three senior lettermen had left the team. Then, after a few hard practices, the team sized up as follows: Howard at first. Holcombe at second, and Hartwell at third. The vacancy left by Linman, who was injured, was temporarily filled by Selover. Clifford was assigned the important backstop position with Doug Johnson his battery mate. The field positions were filled by Thorpe, right field. Hyde, left field, and Hale, who was put in center field. Although this team seemed to present great possibilities, it never could get on the road to victory. The first game was a practice one with Wayzata. This was won by Wayzata 7 to 6. In this game several players came up with good catches and throws, but on the whole it could easily be seen that more practice was needed. Dwight Holcombe starred in this game by hitting a home run into right field. In the second contest of the season. Blake lost to the Robbinsdale aggregation by a score of 7 to 2. As in the first game, the play was spotted with careless mistakes: nevertheless, there was some improvement. Doug Johnson pitched well although losing. 94 THE 19 4 6 CALL PAN O ' Once again Johnson pitched well when the Bears met Southwest. However, this time he hurled a winning game, for the team won its first game by a score of 3 to 2. Probably one of the best plays of the year was made in this game when Skid T horpe threw a man out at third on a very close play. After this victory, however, the team’s hopes of a successful season were dashed, for following the Southwest game there were four defeats. The first of these was lost to a strong Cretin team by the score of 8 to 1. Blake’s hitting and fielding were very poor in this game, a fact which accounts for the score. In the next game, which was with Concordia, the Bruins experimented with an entirely new infield. Despite the changes, the end of the game found the Bears behind again by the score of 10 to 6. Selover pitched his first contest of the year. and. although he lost, he hurled very steady balls throughout the seven innings. The third loss in this slump was again to Cretin, which took an early lead and kept it throughout the game and in the end was on top by 9 to 4. The outstanding play of the afternoon was made when Blake scored a triple out. Next, the Bears moved to S.P.A. where they again lost. This game showed a marked improvement, for there were very few errors made. Selover again pitched an excellent game and gave up only four hits. Nevertheless, the Saints were too much for the Bears and as a result came out on top by a score of 3 to 1. With this loss, things were not looking too bright for the Bears. The only game with Shattuck. however, started the team on the victory road, for they won this game by the socre of 3 to 1. Doug Johnson was again the hero of the team as he pitched himself out of holes to end up with a four hitter. In this game. Ray Scherer, a freshman, was tried at catcher, and did very well for himself. After this victory, the Bruins were inspired and went into their final game of the season in high spirits. This was not only the final game, but was also their last chance to defeat the S.P.A. aggregation. The Bears took advantage of this opportunity and defeated the team 7 to 6. Dwight Holcombe scored the winning run in the seventh on a steal from first on an error. Buck Linman was the slugger of the day as he got three hits on four trips to the plate. Also aiding in the victory was Bissell. who was shifted to first after the first S.P.A. game, for he played very well throughout the encounter. Thus with only one senior letterman leaving, the team for next year has great possibilities. Although this season was not as successful as many had hoped, the end of the year found the Bears with a team which seemed to work well together; and with the experience gained this year, it should prove to be a strong one next season. 95 mm spurts East Entrance THE 19 4 6 C A L :li P.

FOOTBALL UNDER the able coaching of Mr. Parks, the Junior Varsity football squad enjoyed an undefeated season last fall. The only game which might be considered a blemish on their record was the Hopkins encounter, which resulted in a hard-fought. 6 to 6 tie. In the two games with S.P.A., traditional rivals of the Hilltoppers, Blake emerged victorious by scores of 19 to 6 and 7 to 6. The first game was highlighted by Charlie Krogness’s two touchdown runs. He scooted around end for twenty yards and pay dirt to put his team ahead and went right through the middle on the famous 80” play to give the little Bears two touchdowns. Crawford blasted off tackle for the third tally, while Dick Mersey's bull-like thrusts enabled the Academy to avoid the humiliation of a shutout. The second contest was nip and tuck all the way and was featured by air-tight line-backing by both teams. The Blakesters had another scare with a powerful St. Louis Park eleven, against which they managed to squeeze out another 7 to 6 victory. T he winning touchdown came as a result of Randy Brown's pass to Jim Wittenberg in the end zone. Perhaps the best exhibition the team displayed came against a highly-touted St. Thomas aggregation. The 'Pommies, champions of the Catholic Conference and victors over S.P.A. by a 40 to 0 count, were expected to be J.V.’s toughest opposition. However, this was Blake’s day, and the Bears romped to a 33 to 6 win. Carroll Crawford counted three touchdowns, while George Fahr stole the ball and ran 60 yards for another marker, displaying more energy than he had previously shown in all the first five games. Lady Luck again proved her faithfulness to Blake when she allowed a St. Thomas pass to fall into the hands of Harry Adams, who promplty slunk his way through a broken field for another six points. After such a season, the future looks bright for Blake on the gridiron! 99 o I PAN T:H;F, I 9; 4 6; ; CALL J. V. HOCKEY AGAIN this year the Junior Varsity turned out a winning squad in preparing material for future varsity teams. The J.V.’s practiced with the first team during the initial drills of the season, which were held before the opening of school for the winter term, and then began concentrating on their own schedual after the varsity had been definitely chosen. Under the watchful tutelage of Mr. Parks these pucksters finished their season with the commendable record of two victories and one defeat. ... Playing their first game on foreign ice. the bladesters vanquished a big, rough Robbinsdale aggregation by the reasonably decisive margin of 3 to 1. Since the squad was short several of its regular men. the varsity loaned them its third line for the afternoon. Tim Ueland proved the worth of that loan when he slapped across the winning tally. Drip Holmgren was the high scorer of the day. however, for he counted both the first and the last markers, thus accounting for the afternoon’s scoring. The team’s second success occurred again on the opponent's rink.. This time the boys journeyed to St. Paul to encounter the lads from the Academy. Once again the Brown and White proved to have the better team when they emerged from the contest on top of a 2 to 1 score. In a return game with the Robbinsdale J.V.’s. Blake suffered its lone defeat of the year by the close score of 2 to 1. Although the contest was staged on Blake ice, the home squad could not repeat its performance of earlier in the season, and went down before the Robbins’ attack. However, the fact that the year was a successful one for the J.V.’s is shown in the tabulation of the scoring for the three games. Blake tallied six goals to the opponent's five, scored in every contest, and suffered its only loss by the slim margin of one goal—a fine showing indeed. J. V. BASEBALL HANDICAPPED by the early loss of Coach Parks, who suffered a broken arm. the J.V. aggregate teamed up with the “A” squad, later worked under the experienced coaching of Dale Bloss and Mr. Weech. and ended the year with a record of four wins and three losses. Considering the calibre of opposition and the difficulties encountered in providing a coaching staff, this record is a good one. The team was victorious over S.P.A. in one contest. Concordia in one. and Edina in one; while they dropped games to St. Louis Park and S.P.A. The season began with a well-earned victory over the Academy. John Clark pitched no hit ball for three innings, while his teammates ran up a substantial lead. A bad fourth inning gave the opposition a chance to narrow that margin and make the game more interesting, but the Bears settled down and coasted to a 9 to 7 win. A slump followed this victory, and the Hilltoppers were stunned twice— the scores were St. Louis Park. 19. Blake. 3; and S.P.A., 12. Blake. 7. The team managed to give their opponents some cause for concern; but they were unable to hit in the pinches, and so lost both games. A victory over Edina brought new spirit into the squad, and they went on to win two of their last three games. In this second success of the year, rain threatened to halt play with the score tied at five runs apiece. The clouds broke, though, and the determined Blakesters pushed Boos across for the winning run. S.P.A. again proved superior and downed the Brown and White for the second time; the score was 11 to 6. This defeat was their last: for the squad finished up the season with a double win. The climax of the year came in a tight contest with Concordia. Throughout the game the advantage changed hands and the result was in doubt. Determined to end the year with a victory and maintain a .500 percentage, the Hilltoppers player heads-up ball and came through with a 3 to 2 win. 100 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Back row: Mr. Bosanko. D. Johnson (mgr.). Gamble. Hickok. Fink, Beard. Schmitt. Mr. Hartman. Front row: Wasie, Taylor. Dayton. Day. Kelly. R. Raines, I.arson. SWIMMING HINDERED by ineligibility and an injury to Dave Hickok s knee, the team got off to a slow start this year: losing to St. Thomas, 46-29; squeezing by West. 38-37; losing to Southwest, 38-34: winning from Cretin. 45-30: losing to Winona, 47-28: trimming South. 57-18; and losing to Shattuck at Faribault, 46-19. From this point the squad showed improvement under Johnny Hartmann’s tutelage: dumping St. Paul city champion Johnson, 60-15; Marshall, 41-34; Edison, 56-19; and Cretin again 43-32. Two loses followed, one to state champion Austin and the other to St. Thomas. 41-25. The last dual meet of the season was won from Roosevelt. 58-17. The team then entered the Twin City High School Meet and brought home the first place trophy to climax a successful season. The main attractions of the team were the relays. The medley specialists. Don Wasie. George Dayton, and Chuck Kelly, swam the fastest time in the state this year, set a St. Thomas pool record, and were Twin City Champions. The free style relay team of Dick Raines, Whitney MacMillan. George Dayton, and Chuck Kelly, in addition to being Twin City Champions and setting another St. Thomas pool record, also set a Minneapolis Y. M. C. A. mark in an exhibition and placed second in the Minnesota A. A. U. meet. The outstanding individual star of the team was Captain-elect Chuck Kelly, dash-man and anchor-man of both relays, who garnered 108 points in dual meets alone, followed by Dick Raines with 89, and George Dayton with 76. At the swimming dinner, the only seniors. Captain Gene Day and Dick Raines, were honored with the Guy T homas Swimming Trophy and the Arthur Improvement Award, respectively. Under the leadership of Chuck Kelly, next year's team, composed of stars like Whit MacMillan. Dave Hickok, and George Dayton, and veterans like Bill Taylor, Paul Schmitt. Bud Fink. Archie Beard, Clarence Larson, Buck Linman. Bill Gamble, and Steve Krogness. should enjoy an even more successful season. 101 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Back row: Hartwell, Holcombe. Hyde, J. Hutchinson, Palm. Pogue. Mr. Lundholm. Front row: Corbcll. Norton. R. Moyer. Donaldson. Thorpe. B. Cohen. Bissell. BASKETBALL THE Blake basketball team climbed several rungs on the ladder leading to eventual recognition as a minor sport during the last winter. With numerous improvements being made this year, it was natural that the squad should attain a proficiency never before witnessed by iMr. Lundholm. whose judgment must be respected as a result of the fact that he maintains the position of coach of the cagers. To list the various advances would become tiresome in length, but a few are of such note that they deserve mention. In its first Athletic Association meeting the school voted that a basketball manager be chosen to fulfill the duties necessary to the efficient upkeep of a varsity sport. Winter Ensign served capably in this capacity. Another innovation was the use of a wood floor, on which the basketeers cavorted three times a week. With the new assurance gleaned from practice on a court where it was not expedient to watch the ball while dribbling, the team developed a fast break which succeeded in completely breaking down the opposition in the third period, if not in the other three, of almost every game. To cap things off. the cagers were rewarded with the honor of an invitation to the annual hockey and swimming dinner. Probably the best-played and without a doubt the most unforgettable battle of the season was the second tiff against S.P.A. On the short end of a 3 1 to 11 count at the half, the Blakesters staged a tremendous rally that just fell short when Bissell, Holcombe, and Captain Donaldson fouled out. Score: 38 to 57. 102 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN Cohen. Ward. Raines. Pogue. Mr. Glenn. GOLF WHEN the call for golf candidates went out. seventeen prospective players were on hand to greet Mr. Glenn. Since only nine boys can be accommodated at Minikahda, a new squad under the direction of Mr. F. Lundholm was created to play at Meadowbrook. In this way freshmen and sophomores who are not ordinarily able to play can develop into good players by the time they are ready for the varsity squad. To begin the season the golf team rar� up a string of six wins against no defeats. The team is composed of Captain Raines. Pogue, Ward, and Manager Cohen in this order. These four boys also made up last year's golf team. In the first match of the season the squad downed a weak St. Louis Park aggregation, to Yi. Then a more formidable St. Thomas team was overcome by 6 to 5l 2. The scores turned in in this match by the team were higher than those of early in the season. The next two victims of the Brown and White were Wayzata and West, these teams being defeated 10 Y to I Y and 8 to 4, respectively. In an abbreviated match, called at the end of nine holes because of an electrical storm, Shattuck was met and whipped by the decisive margin of 4 to 0. In another short contest, played at Woodhill. the first away match of the year. Wayzata again succumbed to the hard stroking Blakesters, 4 to 0. However, the linksters met their only defeat of the year in a return engagement with Shattuck at Faribault. The match was in doubt until the last man holed out. but the Shads were finally the victors by the close score of 7 Y to 4 . Ward was low with an 84. The divotdiggers wrought their vengeance on a weak Cretin aggregation in its final match of the season, defeating the Raiders, 10 to 2. The season was very successful from all standpoints, particularly in the record of seven wins and only one loss, and the members of the squad and Coach Glenn are to be commended on their success. 103 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN Ensign (mgr.). MacMillan, Norton. Donaldson. Adams. Taylor, Raynolds. Mr. Cleveland. TENNIS THE Blake tennis team enjoyed its most successful season in history this spring. Seventeen matches were scheduled, but as a result of two cancellations and two rainouts, only thirteen were played. The squad managed to win all of these, completing their second successive season undefeated, and running their overall victory streak to twenty-seven straight. Nor is it to be supposed by the casual reader that these conquests were effected largely because of poor competition. During the season the netters vanquished state champion Southwest twice by the score of 4 to 1, city champion Washburn, 3 to 2, state college runnerup Augsburg. 3 to 2. and Carleton College, 6 to 0. The netmen also handed University High its only defeat of the year by a 5 to 0 count. Other teams defeated by a score of 5 to 0 included Roosevelt, Central, West. De La Salle, S. P. A., and Deephaven, District 18 champs. The squad this year was composed of captain Scott Donaldson, number one singles. Bill Taylor, number two singles, and Henry Norton, third singles. The doubles teams were Donaldson and T aylor, Norton and Adams, and MacMillan and Raynolds. Donaldson lost one match in thirteen, Taylor two, while Norton whitewashed all his opponents. Donaldson and Taylor were undefeated in doubles competition, but the other duos lost one match each. Randy Brown, who competed in the third singles position against Washburn, absorbed the sixth individual loss suffered by the team against a total of 60 victories, or a match play percentage of .909. The outlook for 1947 is bright, as only Donaldson of the six lettermen graduated this spring. Returning in an attempt to sustain the winning streak will be steady-stroking Captain-elect Bill Taylor, better known as “The Reflex.’' fast-improving Hank Norton, “The Gink.” and volatile Harry Adams, or “The Slink.” With the assistance of John Raynolds. a singles player who competes in doubles, and dependable Whitney MacMillan, they can do it! 104 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN SKIING THE Brown and White ski meet was held late in February this year, after the lack of snow forced its postponement earlier in the season. The Upper School Browns won by the decisive score of 30 to 1 3. while the Lower School Browns snowed their opponents under 20 to 2. Edwin Bidwell won the Gale Burton memorial award for the second year by placing first in the Slalom and second in each of the other three events for a total of 1 3 points. Adams was second with 9 points and John Hutchinson third with 8 points. In the slalom Bidwell placed first: Bennett, second; Adams, third, and Hutchinson. J.f fourth, to start the Browns on their way to victory. The next event, which was the jumping, was marked by a lack of contestants. Hutchinson. J.. took first and Bidwell second, while John Heegaard crashed his way into third place and the best spill of the afternoon. The Whites captured their one and only first place when Richard Hutchinson won the downhill. Adams. Bidwell and Strieker tied for second. In the Cross Country, which was the final event of the day, Adams outdistanced a large field of opponents to come home the winner. Bidwell again took second, while Hutchinson. J., was third and Dwinnell. fourth. In the Lower School. Boos and Carpenter tied for the Gale Burton Memorial award with 8 points apiece, while Ankeny was third with 6 points. Boos won the Lower School downhill with Ankeny, second: Carpenter, third; and McCarthy, fourth. The slalom in the Lower School, which was high-lighted by Hymes’ running into a tree and breaking his leg, saw Carpenter, first; Ankeny, second; Boos, third; and Sanberg. fourth. BROWN AND WHITE 'FAKING up the intramural athletic battle where their predecessors left off. John Clifford and Scott Donaldson, captains of the Browns and Whites, respectively. led their squads in a year-long, closely contested contest. For only the third time in the history of the Pflaum Cup the Brown team emerged the victorious holder of the coveted trophy. The competition began with the post-season Brown and White football games. The highly-favored Browns performed according to expectation and downed the Whites in three of the four contests. An underdog White varsity team rallied to defeat the Browns by the slim margin of 7 to 6, to provide the chief excitement of the opening day of intrasquad competition. The Whites shortened the Brown lead by copping the basketball and gaining a split in the swimming meets. Then, with their fourth consecutive boxing victory, the Whites assumed a lead which they didn't relinquish until the final field day contests. This boxing tournament was held in March just before the Spring Term Finals. Ropes placed in the fieldhouse provided the necessary ring, and about 50 pugilists donned the gloves to slug it out. The Whites won five out of the nine matches to gain the Villa Boxing Trophy by the margin of 55 to 50. The baseball games were evenly contested and the result was two victories for each team. On June 3, the Browns took the field with a large array of confident athletes and swept the contest, losing only one first place on the varsity and one in the lower school. This victory gave them a winning margin of 85 points, and the prized Pflaum Cup. 105 THE 1946 CALL O' PAN 106 THE 19 4 6 CALL O PAN A TEAM THIS year under the very able leadership of Mr. Cali the A” team completed a very successful season, although the number of wins and losses was not very impressive. The team was greatly hampered by the losses of men to the varsity team. However, enough material was found so that with the fine captaining of 1‘om Colwell the team stood up well against such teams as St. Phillips. Hopkins, and Edina. In the S.P.A. conflicts, the “As won one and tied one by scores of 0 to 0 and 7 to 0. They tied St. Phillips once and lost to them once. These scores were 0 to 0 and 1 2 to 0. Although only one game was won this year, the experience that the boys received will prove invaluable in future years. B TEAM UNDER the direction of Mr. Butler, this year's B team had one of the best seasons in its history for six games were won and only one was lost. The team defeated S.P.A.. Hopkins, and Kenwood. S.P.A. was defeated by scores of 16 to 0 and 1 2 to 0. Hopkins was also defeated; however, in the second game with this team the Hopkins boys intercepted a “B team pass in the last six seconds of the game and scored. The bame resulted in a 19 to 11 loss for the Brown and White. The stars of the team were Captain Muzzy Crosby, Ankeny. Boies. Cross. Gilson. Klass. Strieker, and Wieser. C TEAM WITH Archie Beard and Tim Ueland coaching the “C” team this year, the Death Valley men only lost one contest and this was to S.P.A. In the couplet with S.P.A. the “C’s lost 11 to 12 and tied 6 to 6. Hopkins, however was defeated twice by scores of 6 to 0 and 11 to 0. The last rival, Kenwood, was also defeated twice. With this team defeated, the C team ended a fine season with four wins, one loss, and one tie. Outstanding players were Captain Randy Cote. Barry. Cagley. Eck. Heffelfinger, Hyde. Nash. Regan, and Sandberg. 107 HONORS FOR THE YEAR 1945-46 (As complete as possible) STUDENT COUNCIL John Corrin Hutchinson. VII—Head Boy James Merrill Ward. VII James Adrian Howard.

Visionlining assures better work because the operator can always see what he is doing, and the seat, is comfortably low to the rear of the drive wheels for additional safety at all times. “Visionlining” of tractors was introduced by Minneapolis-Moline many years ago and is basically an exclusive MM feature which does much to ease the normal strain on any tractor operator and. thus assures better work and perhaps even more work under many condit ions. STAMINA . . . the ability to take it” for long periods of tough going . . . doesn’t come as an accessory to tractors or farm machinery. You can’t buy it as an EXTRA. It’s either designed and built into every part of the machine or it isn’t there at all.
