MR. CLAPP UPON the resignation of Mr. Alder last year Blake was indeed fortunate to obtain the services of Mr. R. Allan Clapp. Since his arrival at the school in December Mr. Clapp has taken an avid interest in all activities at Blake and has become acquainted with all that goes on in the school in a remarkably short time. Before he had been here long, it was obvious that he had brought with him from the Hast a determined desire to make the torch of Blake burn even brighter. In his first year at Blake Mr. Clapp has shown all doubters that he has a great future in mind for the school on the hill, and we felt it only right at the beginning of this yearbook to pay tribute to Blake's new headmaster and wish him and the school all the luck possible in years to come. 11 Call O7 Pan R.

Phillips was named class advisor for the seniors again this year, it marked the third straight time he had been chosen to serve in this capacity. This fact in itself is ample proof of the esteem and high regard in which Mr. Phillips is held by the class of 1 947. For his undivided interest in the welfare and standing of the Senior Class and his patient, wise solution of every problem that came up concerning the group during the school year, we wish to thank him and express our gratitude for the guidance he has given us when we most needed it. We know we shall benefit from his timely advice in years to come. 23 Cali O’ Pan Back row: Fisher. Schmitt. Wylie. Johnson. C. Krogness, G. Strieker. R. MeGandy. Deinard. R. Brown. Card.

For. way back in September of 1934. a bleary-eyed youngster, none other than our hero, stepped inside Miss MacDonald’s first grade room in the former Junior School on Colfax Avenue. Whit didn’t have long to wait for fellow classmates, however, because the next year Macnider Wethcrby. unsuspecting future lightweight champion and Upper School Headwaiter. and George Dayton, swimmer extraordinary, joined him. In 19 36 a glib westerner from Montana ignored Horace Greeley’s advice and “came East.” Needless to say. this westerner was none other than Chucko Kelly, noted author, haranguer. and foremost exponent of the “pure hots.” Although Chuck left Blake in the fifth grade to return in the seventh, these four were the only permanent members of the Class of '47; and soon it came time for the important journey out to the big school at Hopkins. Here they were met by George Strieker, proficient in extra-curricular activities, and the Kenwood Gang. Numbered among the latter were: Jim Howard, famed editor and athlete; John Hartwell. hockey captain and Williams’ Theme Winner; George Selover. hardworking Business Manager and co-captain of baseball; John Raynolds. literary genius and sports enthusiast; Bill Taylor. Mr. Tennis” of the Senior Class: Jack Pratt. “Chief’s” diligent baseball manager; and Dwight Hyde, high-scoring Blake end and Class President. In second form our class received another shot in the arm in the personages of Doug Johnson, Head Boy and athlete and scholar supreme. Skid Thorpe, basketball captain and Sports Editor, and Archie Spencer, whose nickname, the “BRAIN, suggests his tremendous store of knowledge but doesn't reveal his rollicking wit. Along with these came knifing guard” and polished boxer Paul Schmitt and Chucko Kelly, previously mentioned swimming captain. Four more boys entered in the eighth grade. They were “R” Brown, hockey and football letter-winner and class mischief-maker. Bob MeGandy. hockey 24 Senior4 manager and wit. John Heegaard. photographer without peer, and Harold Fisher, better known as “Tootie or “Mohair. Led by Steve Duffy, destined to be the “racketeer'' of the Senior Class and the deserving recipient of a hard-earned hockey letter, and Dwight Holcombe, the athletic pride and joy of “Hoptown, seven boys matriculated in ninth grade. Charlie Hale is a class scholar, “square guard, fine goalie, and a terrific typer. Hub Melin is manager of Blake's Athletic Store and is an electrical wizard. Matt Peppard is a rugged guard and an even more rugged fighter. Hal Wylie has turned out to be “Mr. Extra-Curricular Activity himself, and golfing “fiend” Dick Pogue is a three-letter man and golf captain. In the past three years only five boys have joined this delinquent group. Ethan Deinard. probably the most brilliant member of the class, entered in tenth grade. George Hewitt, light heavy champ and aspiring doctor, and Dave Hickok. a stellar athlete with abundant school spirit, came as juniors. Charlie Krogness also dropped back into our class last year, lending us his athletic ability. The last member of our class to join was Pete Card, who came over from St. Thomas for Post-Grad work and since has made quite a name for himself as class wit and poet. Such for the members of the Class of '47. Now for a short resume of our contributions. We have been fairly good leaders in extra-curricular activities and scholastic attainments, hoping we were setting a worthy example. Our greatest leadership has undoubtedly come on the athletic field, where we have had to uphold the name of the school for two years and part of a third. We believe our efforts have partly paid off in view of the undefeated hockey and swimming seasons this winter. Although we will soon scatter throughout the country to the colleges of our choice, we will always cherish the memories of our happy years at Blake. In closing, we would like to express our humble and sincere thanks to Mr. Phillips. Mr. Clapp, the faculty, trustees, and staff for the inestimable help they have given us on our way through Blake. AS WE LOOKED IN EIGHTH GRADE 25 Cali O’ Pan RANDOLPH RANDALL BROWN Entered Blake in 1942 ■ Randy. R Harvard “He was a rake among scholars, and a scholar among rakes. —Macaulay THE above quotation aptly describes this witty, light-hearted, and very popular gentleman. Ever since he came to Blake. R has been noted for his sparkling humor and mischievous antics. Keenly interested in all phases and channels of school life. Randy has taken part in almost every extra-curricular activity, especially athletics. He has played coefficient football, hockey, and baseball. Although somewhat handicapped by his size, “R finally came into his own this year, earning his varsity letter in both football and hockey. In hockey he especially excelled, playing right wing on the first line most of the time. He is aso noted for his great dramatic ability. This year he proved his talent by acting the title role in The Master of Solitaire. No one who has heard Randy give forth with one of his well-known monologues concerning his many and varied experiences while on the French Riviera can fail to appreciate his vast store gf wit and humor. The unforgettable incident of the Biology class in which he told Mrs. Parks, who was subbing for Pete, that he was Paul Schmitt, gives ample proof of his love for adventure. As a fitting tribute to his popularity, this Lower School waiter was elected to the Blake Union this year. Best of luck at Harvard next year. Randy. ★ ★ ★ ★ Senior4 CLELLAN PETER CARD Entered Blake in 1946 Pete.'' ‘'Salty” University of Minnesota POST-GRADUATE “Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinction.”—Emerson. AND Mr. Parks, did you know that below the equator cow-licks grow counterclockwise, just the opposite from what they do up here? The voice you just heard was that of our class wit. Pete, in one of his typical biology classes. The newest addition to our class, coming over from St. Thomas last fall to take a post-graduate course, he became an immediate success with his classmates because of his subtle wit. Possessor of a sleek, suspicious, maroon Buick convert. Pierre is one of the more fanatic members of the I’ve already taken my proofs down, no half holiday cards left, how'm I going to work it today? club. And as a rule, he is one of the most successful. Pete’s popularity won him a place on the Blake Union this winter. And in the field of sports he is no slouch either. Last fall Salty was a stellar end on Pete Parks' J. V. football squad, and during the winter months he was one of Johnny Tillman s favorite pupils out in the new boxing room, winning the welterweight championship. During the last few months Pete has loaned his talents to Mr. Glenn's golf team. He is also quite capable of holding his own in the literary field. Pete composed a powerful sonnet which won for him second place in the annual Williams' Theme Contest. But this amazing feat can be attributed to the fact that he is one of the few seniors who is under the influence of a member of the opposite sex. Good luck, Pete. Call O’ Pan GEORGE DRAPER DAYTON III Entered Blake in 1934 “Gees” Princeton The dullest man as well as the wittiest may find in St. Paul what serves his turn.''—Ralciyh HERE we have the latest of the long and illustrious line of Daytons to grace the hallowed halls of Blake. However. George is probably the most famous (or infamous) of all. The chief source of this fame is his phenomenal swimming ability. As a sophomore, George lowered the school breaststroke record by six full seconds to 1:5.1 and won the Minnesota AAU title after going through the dual season undefeated. During his Junior year George was seriously hindered by an infected kidney which he had to have removed this fall. However, he recovered remarkably fast and this year rose to his former heights, winning the Arthur Swimming Award. With Chuck Kelly and Don Wasie he helped to set a medley relay record in every pool they swam in. in addition to shattering the school and city records in this event. George turned to the links this spring and since has shown a terrific likeness to Ben Hogan. Always universally popular with the opposite sex by dint of his flashing smile and burly figure. George has more or less settled down ' these past two years. A fiend for anything with a motor (especially a noisy one), Gees is noted for his driving skill and love for a chase. He has been one of Martha's favorites on the waiting staff. George plans to continue his education at Princeton, and we trust he will make as big a success of himself there as he has at Blake. Seniori ETHAN CURTIS DEINARD Entered Blake in 1944 Boss. B.S. Swarthmore CUM I.AUDE Genius must be born and never can be taught. —Dcyden 'BOSS'' came to Blake as a sophomore and soon established himself as one of the scholastic leaders of the class. He has always been one of the top students throughout his three-year career at Blake. In extra-curricular activities Ethan has also done his share. He has been a faithful reporter on the Torch and has contributed many invaluable items to that momentous agglomeration of slander called Sound and Fury. Some of these items have been contributed by deed as well as by word, for Boss is an avid follower of the fairer sex, and his nocturnal ramblings have provided material for many Senior Room discussions. The Boss” also has served time with the waiters and has succeeded remarkably in bending the recalcitrant first graders to his will. Boss” always has had a certain influence over his fellows (witness his name), and all are agreed that his greatest possibilities lie in the political field. Realizing this feat. Boss” has spent his play periods working out with the Debating Team; and although he has yet to dress for a debate, he bargained valuable experience in oratory.” In fact. B.S. has an uncanny knack for avoiding any form of exercise. However, whatever “Boss lacks in athletic ability, he makes up in a genial personality and a quick wit. attributes that will certainly stand him in good stead at Swarthmore. Call O’ Pan STEPHEN PETER DUFFY, JR. Entered Blake in 1943 Duke'' Georgetown A winner of all that is good in a race. —Bierce EVER since Duke entered the Blake portals four years ago, he has been one of the most popular members of the senior class. This year he was rewarded by being elected treasurer of the class, even though he had been previously voted most likely a racketeer.” This fact proves Duke’s popularity. Also his fabulously famous story starting: “Me and Delaney were in the back. Black, he was driving . . as well as many others, has done much to bring forth the humorous character of this little member of royalty. Another of Duke’s trademarks is his notorious black convertible. It is known as far north as Braincrd and almost as far south as Kansas City. At the beginning of this year we were confronted with the task of furnishing the senior room. Duke congenially came through with a terrific little radio, which has comforted many tired and battered seniors in moments when spiritual guidance was needed. Upon entering the Senior Room after lunch, one can always find Duke back in a far corner with several other classmates enjoying “dessert.” Athletically, it was in the winter, when hockey rolled along, that Duke excelled. After many years of hard work he earned a letter as right wing on Perk’s undefeated hockey team. The college of Duke’s choice is Georgetown, and we truly want to wish him all the success in the world there. Senior4 HAROLD COOKE FISHER, JR. Entered Blake in 1942 Tootie. Pish Brown He's a good fellow, and twill all be well.' ’—Khayyam EVER since this member of the class of 47 arrived at the Alma Mater back in third form, his quiet humor and love for harmless pranks have made him quite popular with his fun-loving classmates. When “Tootie'' came to Blake, he was small in stature: he is small still. Yet this lack of height hasn't hindered him a bit. This fall “Fish was one of Mr. Lundholm's touchball artists, especially noted for his pass receiving in the “aerial circus. After a rather unhealthy winter of endeavoring to play basketball in the frigid field house. “Tootie ventures toward the tennis courts in the spring. He joined the Dramatics Association as a stagehand this year and. like most of his “hard-working” buddies, incurred Mr. Jones’ wrath on many occasions. Once a week or so. Harold could be seen slinking into the chapel seventh period for Glee Club practice, if not otherwise occupied. He finally earned the reputation of being one of the irregulars of “Allen’s Alley. “Toot has been a waiter for two years, with a few involuntary rests mixed in when he and Miss Berglund disagreed about some aspect of his job. “Fish’s” genial atmosphere has gained him a host of friends and should stand him in good stead in the future. “Tootie” has planned to join the fellows down at Brown next fall, where we’re sure he’ll be a success in no time. Call O’ Pan CHARLES ADAMS HALE Entered Blake in 1943 Charlie. Chazz.” Chulla Amherst A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.”—Proverbs FOUR years ago Charlie entered our class, and ever since that memorable date his record at the little red-brick schoolhouse on the hill shows nothing but achievements. “Chulla” is a scholar and an athlete of no mean repute. When only a sophomore. Charlie won the Fifth Form Declamation Contest. Countless times “Chazz” has amazed the school and the Union, of which he was elected a member last fall, by stirring speeches on historical topics. When the names of the honor students are read every month in chapel. Charles Hale is inevitably on the list. Having unusual ability with that complicated machine, the typewriter, he was appointed Circulation Manager of the 1'ORCH and CALL O'PAN. “Harlem” is a waiter on the Lower School staff, where his curly black hair and his muscular physique render him an idol of the younger boys. As if this weren't enough. Charlie held down a guard post on the varsity football team for two years. He has the rare ability of being at the bottom of every pileup in the center of the line. As goalie for the hockey team. “Chulla’s” record speaks for itself: only eleven goals scored against him in ten games. Although baseball has not been his forte. Charlie managed to earn his letter patrolling the outer garden. Charlie is headed for Amherst, where he will undoubtedly continue this fine record. ★ ★ ★ ★ Seniori JOHN MOWRY HARTWELL Entered Blake in 1940 Wh ck. Chu. Hartic Yale Write me as one who loves his fellow men. —Hunt AN indefatigable pessimist. John has amazed his more flippant classmates by his morbid outlook on almost any coming event, from a Biology test to a date for a forthcoming Blake dance. This attitude seemed to work wonders during the hockey season, for Whack s'' cohorts, sobered by his unoptimistic viewpoint. skated to an undefeated season, the third in Blake history. Although bothered by a recurring ailment gained in the fall. Captain John nevertheless showed enough of his usual all-around class to win the Dartmouth Hockey Cup. Chu is prominent in other sports, too. as his three letters in baseball and his two in football reveal. In extra-curricular activities John has really shown. He has been an officer of the Second Hand Book Store for two years, laying the best and most marked books unselfishly aside for himself. He has been a Blake actor and a member of the Union for two years, and this year edited the column Sport-Lites for the TORCH. His speaking talent, together with that DeMaupassant touch, helped him win top honors in the Williams Theme contest this winter. John is a waiter and. as such, has an unfortunate knack of getting caught every time he tries to emulate his more sly fellows. Whack has set the Senior Room rocking with laughter by his frequent culture arguments with Holcombe. Yale is indeed fortunate to receive this talented man. Call O’ Pan JOHN CHRISTIAN HEEGAARD Entered Blake in 194 2 ’Hcc University of Minnesota 1 shall endeavor to enliven morality with wit.”—Addison HOLD it!” Click! A protesting shout and a shower of books reward our John as he makes away with another revealing shot for the Odds and Ends section of this year's CALL O’PAN. Budding photographer of the Senior Class, John has put in many hours of hard work on photographs for the yearbook and has profited much from his diligence. Aside from taking many excellent pictures himself throughout the year for the Publications (an outstanding example of which are the individual football shots in the Major Sport section), Hee has organized a photography club and has bamboozled underclassmen into taking a myriad of pictures for him. Seriously, though, this club has done much for the future of photography at Blake. An actor with much polish. John tried to emulate Maurice Evans in the Howard F. Jones production of Pyramus and Thisbe this fall. Let it suffice to say that, as a Shakespearean actor, he is a good French student. His chapel speech on the car. however, was one of the most original and riotous speeches ever given. John belongs to that nefarious group known as the Lower School Waiters, who eat lunch so early they don't even have to eat breakfast before coming to school. Athletically. Johnny’s accomplishments were narrowed to managing the golf team this spring because of a bad back. But. socially. John has been quite prominent, as Raynolds can tell you. The ”U will get a man with definite possibilities come next fall. Seniori GEORGE CARTER HEWITT Entered Blake in 1945 ’George” Harvard I am a man. and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me.”—Terence EVER since George came to Blake at the beginning of his junior year, he has served unofficially as class physician. He has a soul-consuming interest in all medical matters and delights in informing blood-thirsty seniors about autopsies or gory accidents. But he is more useful when he can be pursuaded to divulge information about cures for that morning-after'' feeling. In fact. George is much respected by certain seniors for his invaluable work along these lines. George has even joined vacation excursions to distant points so that he may look after his prodigal friends. In the field of athletics George is rated chiefly for interest in boxing at which he has become very skilled through the tutelage of the various trainers at Blake. This skill, combined with his size, makes George a rugged fighter and general strong man in senior room brawling. He is a hardworking student, and shows the effects of being in the infamous third period German class—that is to say he perhaps cannot concentrate as well as students with undamaged nerves. But Hewitt has reaped his glory from this class, too. for it was George himself who inspired the words which have echoed through that class ever since: Quviet! Hewitt iss schtill wrrriiiting. George may expect a great success in college, for he has a true interest in many aspects of medicine, and has a quiet good humor that will keep him contented. Call O’ Pan DAVID FLEMING HICKOK Entered Blake in 194 5 Dave. Cocker-' Blake. Post-Grad Handsome is as handsome does. —Goldsmith DAVE came to Blake from Edison last year and since has fitted into school life as if he were a longstanding “son. He immediately became well-liked by his classmates when he went out for football: and before his first year had ended, he had earned numerals in both football and swimming and had been elected to the Union. He sent chills down a thrilled audience's spine by his performance in the play. A Message F:rom Khufu. that year. As a Senior. Dave has also bandied a tray around as a sub-waiter. Since Cocker has chosen to take a post-grad course here to gain a more extensive background in his education, further evidence of his popularity and worth has been shown by his election as 1947 football co-captain and Business Manager of the TORCH. Dave plays baseball in the spring and makes almost as many errors as his more polished teammates. A lover of weekends, Dave has taken a terrific beating in Sound and Fury this year, and could be heard protesting vehemently in the Senior Room almost any day after a recent issue, advocating banishment of the column. But the editors just smiled knowingly, all the while thinking up some other devilish thing to put in about him. When Dave finally gets out of Blake, we re sure col leges will be fighting for him. Here's luck to a swell guy. Senior4 DWIGHT NELSON HOLCOMBE Entered Blnkc in 1943 Hole. Hoptown Gusuvus Adolphus O wonderful son. that can so astonish a mother. —Shakespeare HARLEY Hopkins’ loss was definitely Blake's gain when ' Hole” decided to grace these hallowed halls with his athletic frame. In his four years at Blake Dwight has startled opposing teams with his prowess in no less than four varsity sports, captaining the football team this fall. As center in football and hockey and centerfield in baseball. Hop has earned three letters in each of these sports and has also starred as a forward (not a center) in basketball. But athletics, although of top interest to Hole.” are by no means his only forte. Famous for his hilarious extemporaneous speeches and his Senior Room stories. Dwight brought down the house with his talk at the football dinner. His wit has also shown amazing powers over the weaker sex on many occasions. He served as President of his class for two years and has been an officer of the Athletic Association for the same time. The Union recognized his possibilities by making him a rather unwilling member last year. A constant source of amusement at T ORCH meetings. Hoptown has benefited the staff with many a sports article. As a Lower School waiter. Hop has starved his cringing subjects in the best of tradition and has become a great favorite of Martha. When Hole” sets out for Gustavus. the college of his choice, next fall, he’s bound to make a lot of friends with his easy going manner and his bright smile. Call O' Pan JAMES ADRIAN HOWARD Entered Blake in 1 940 Jim. Howie” Yale CUM l.AUDE He is never less at leisure than when at leisure. —Cicero JIM has been at Blake for seven years now. and he has left quite a record behind him. Right up through the grades and coefficient teams he's been one of the class leaders. Three letters in baseball, two in hockey, and two in football complete a pretty well-rounded athletic career in any man's book. And yet Howie's'' been equally active off the sports field. He bears the scars and traditional stomach disorders common to those who have had the privilege of serving two years in that distinguished group of gourmets known as waiters. This year Jim loaned his brawn to those long-suffering stagehands of the Dramatics Association. At the end of his Sophomore year. Howie was honored by being elected to the Union and since then has acted as vice-president. Jim has served two years on the Student Council, an honor which he certainly deserves. However, the job which takes most of his time and consideration is the editorship of the TORCH and CALL O'PAN. Starting his journalistic career early. Jim was appointed Sports Editor in his junior year. From there it was just one jump to editor-in-chief and Jim has more than filled that man-sized job. Although he has calmed down a bit in the last couple of years. Jim is still one of the more socially minded members of the class. In any case, Yale will be getting a very capable and likable character in the person of Jim Howard. Senior4 ARTHUR DWIGHT HYDE. JR. Entered Blake in 1940 “Dwight. “Dwatter” Harvard CLASS PRESIDENT I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard.' ’—Garrison GAZING at you from atop this page you may see the handsome visage of the Don Hutson of Blake, none other than our own Dwight Hyde. “Dwatter earned this appellation by his remarkable pass catching ability this fall and last, as he counted eight touchdowns from his position at right end by dint of his sticky-fingered aerial grabbing. When the football season came to a close, it was only fitting that this six-foot-three giant should be voted the Williams Trophy as the best football player. Dwight has displayed athletic ability plus in hockey and baseball besides, earning letters in each of these sports, and has helped out the basketball squad on many occasions from the center position. That he is popular with his classmates was evidenced last fall when they elected him Class President; and he has also been a member of that group of much debate and few decisions, the Blake Union, for two years. Dwight was captain of the Browns this year and as such exhibited more fervor and zeal than any other captain we can recall. As sincere as they come, he has also served as President of the A.A. His fine portrayal of a butler in the plays brought him many offers from frantic housewives, but. always modest. “Dwatter turned them down. Always sticking up for the other person, Dwight should make a decided impression upon matriculating to Harvard next fall. Call O’ Pan DOUGLAS LEE JOHNSON Entered Blake in 1941 Doug. ' “Swede. “Johnse Williams HEAD BOY VALEDICTORIAN “Ear be it from me to insult the pun. —Hugo PROBABLY few members of the Class of 47 realized back in second form when Doug entered Blake what a combination of brains, athletic prowess, and leadership they had gained in the guise of this jolly Swede from North Minneapolis. Climaxing his successful career here at Blake by being elected Head Boy. our “Swentz” gained the position which typified his popularity and ability. In addition. Doug has been a Union member for two years, serving as President the fiist half of this year, was Chief Electrician for the Dramatics Association, and has dabbed in reporting for the 'PORCH and in waiting on tables when a regular food snatcher is sick. On the athletic field Doug's total of seven varsity letters—two in football, one in hockey, and four in baseball—would have been augmented even further if it had not been for a fractured leg suffered two years ago. He took over the unsung job of swimming team manager at that time. As two-time captain of the baseball team. Johnse” has been the recipient of the Bradshaw Mintiner Trophy. A class brain.” Doug was an easy pick for Cum Laude. and his scientific curiosity has led to many a disastrous experiment in his basement laboratory. Displaying a remarkable tendency to go into convulsions of laughter over seemingly the most simple joke. Doug is sure to create a happy atmosphere wherever he goes: and at Williams he should do big things. Senior4 CHARLES JOSEPH KELLY III Entered Blake in 1936 •Chuck.' Chucko” Stanford His food was glory. —Taylor CAP! AIN Kelly leads Blake to another swimming victory.'' Many times such a head has appeared in the Morning Tribune with subsequent writeup of the starring role our Chucko played as his tankers dunked another victim in their wake toward an undefeated season. As Press Club representative. Cap’’ has made ample use of the opportunity to write about “guess whom.’’ But. nevertheless. he did lead his associates to the best season in Blake’s history and won the Guy Thomas Trophy for his efforts in the free style events and his devotion to the team. He was high scorer for two seasons. Besides his swimming ability. Chuck has been a Union member for a year and a half, seemingly always arguing in vain against the nucleus of the group, and has battered the kitchen door with the best of them as an Upper School waiter for two years.

He didn’t join our class until last year and thus avoided five years of nerve-wracking existence with the present gang of senior hoodlums who climbed shakily up the educational ladder to startle all who knew them by finally reaching the Senior Room. Immediately upon re-entering the school from Gow he reported for football practice. His lanky frame and long legs made him an asset to the team. Famous words of Bill Glenn: “Just take the ball and run that way. Krog.” In this year's game with Lake Forest he did just that and became the only steady ground-gainer that day. His speed earned him football letters two years in a row. Missing two seasons of hockey while at Gow. Charlie nevertheless chalked up an enviable record as one of Galbraith’s defensemen this year. In the spring Krog plays tennis, but it is too bad that there isn't a track team. With a little coaching and training he could have become a track star. Every field day he can be seen broad jumping, high jumping, or winning the one hundred yard dash. T he first year and a half that we knew Krog as one of us we were afraid he was headed for bachelorhood. But it seems spring fever finally struck home, and Charlie deviated from his hermit’s path. When Krog goes to college, his future classmates will have to watch his “card-shark tendencies. But we wish Charlie all the luck wherever he goes.

An outstanding player while still on the coefficients, Whit earned his letter in football, hockey, and baseball every year on the “A.” “B. and “C. teams. Last year, Whit became the first man in Blake history to win four letters in one year as he earned his Varsity “B in football, hockey, swimming, and tennis. This year he again repeated, being a member of both the undefeated hockey and swimming teams. Despite a determined and unslacking stubborn streak, Whit is one of the most popular members of the class. As proof of this, his election to the Student Council and Union may be cited. Long noted for his sartorial elegance. Whit is addicted to tweeds and flannels. He never wears a pair of pants or a shirt more than six weeks in a row, no matter how his appearances may indicate the contrary. He is one of the last remaining members of the ‘ Latin after Lunch Club’’ and the “Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil Marching and 7'rotting Society. Mac'' served as a valuable reporter for Publications this year, slandering his fellow classmates horribly in “Sound and Fury. Whit plans to go to Yale next fall, and, though we ll at miss him.

At that time no one realized that this lanky lad from Edina possessed that indescribable, terrifying cackle that some people call a laugh. In the past few years this cackle has more than once sent Bob's classmates into convulsions. Bob also is the author of many humorous phrases that have revolutionized the English language. His jocular uses of words such as “slinky. “wincing. whipping around. “shifty truck drivers.” etc., are known internationally. “Goose is practically a genius when it comes to electricity. Several of us have been both interested in and baffled by his various complicated switchboards. Also our cackling friend is quite active in extra-curricular activities. Last year he lent his voice to Mr. Allen and sang a faulty bass in the Glee Club. He is one of the most fiendish of fifth period waiters, hitting the door with abandon. Last fall Bob sacrificed everything to be a stage manager during the plays. For the last few years “Mahatma has been a standout on the touch and softball squads. But this winter, remembering his boy scout days, he built exquisite fires down in the warming house for the hockey team, and thus won a well-deserved manager’s letter. Bob plans to enter the Harvard medical school next year, and because of his good humor and amiability we know he will be a great success there.

His genius in Physics has netted him the post of “Radio Instructor in Play Period for the Middle School in Mr. Hodgkinson s absence.” Further honors of this astute gentleman cannot be put into one sentence. He has won his letter for two years in varsity baseball as a fielder and is a member of the Union. Scholarship is another field in which Melin has triumphed, having been one of the top men in the form for years. His business ability has shown itself to the best of advantage in his efficient management of the athletic store the past year. Hub matriculated at Blake four years ago, leaving his native town of Dayton. Ohio, in his search for a higher education. Because his home is so far away, much of his past must necessarily be obscure. But we at Blake know quite a lot about his present operations from acquaintance with him in Minneapolis. Many a Senior Room conversation has begun as follows, with Melin in the center: “Me and Leapcr . . .” This winter “Fat” became anything but that by losing fifteen pounds to be admitted into the Naval Air Corps Reserve, thus assuring himself of four years in college. We wish Hub the best of luck in his Navy life. Call 0’ Pan MATTHEW JAMES PEPPARD Entered Blake in 19- 3 “Matt.

Even in the worst weather, Matt can be seen trying to start a recalcitrant machine in the parking lot or ripping along the roads in one of his motorcycles, perhaps with a crowd of classmates clinging to a side car. which threatens to tear loose at any moment. But in school Matt has his serious side. too. and takes an active part in school activities. His chief interest is in the Glee Club, where he holds the office of vice-president as well as taking on his share of the singing. “Pep excels at athletics, as well. He was a fine guard on the varsity football team for the last two seasons. But it is at boxing that this fiery middleweight particularly excels. He is undoubtedly the best boxer in school this year and is champion in his weight class. He is also a good tennis player, and has the remarkable ability to do seemingly endless amounts of calisthenics. He is a careful student, whose biggest hurdle is mathematics, at which he is a determined worker. It’s hardly his fault that Mr. Lundholm keeps on confusing him with contradicting theorems that nobody but Einstein could be expected to understand. But. seriously, anyone as well liked as Matt, with as many varied interests as he has. will be a sure success at Harvard, where he will study pre-med. SeniorA RICHARD EWART POGUE, JR.

Dick is one of the outstanding members of this year's senior class. He is one of the few seniors who combine athletics and scholarship. Athletically, Dick was a two-year letterman in Varsity Football. He is a tricky, fast halfback with exceptional drive and ground-gaining power for his weight. More than one heavier player has been taken from the game after tangling with Dick. In the winter he played forward on the basketball team, where he starred. He was undoubtedly one of the causes for the remarkable improvement by Mr. Lundholm's hitherto weak team. In the spring he played golf for Blake, having won letters for four years, and was undoubtedly the best golfer on the team, being captain this year. Besides golf, he also plays baseball for the Watertown American Legion team, on which he was a regular third baseman. In fact, in addition to playing baseball for Watertown, he is a loyal booster of Watertown in many ways, particularly by his remaining loyal to Water-town’s “beautiful'' belles. Despite his tendency to gamble in the Senior Room. “Pogie” has graced countless honor roll lists. There can be no doubt that in his quiet unpretentious way.

He handles this job with determination and ability of no small degree. When not energetically discharging his responsibilities to the younger boys, he may usually be found making up for his apparent lack of stature by vociferousness. In the Spring visiting baseball teams have expressed satisfaction with the team “mascot. but were dismayed to find that he was not the “mascot at all, but instead the team manager. Jack became a recognized Shakespearan actor of no little note when he appeared in the cut from Richard II in the plays of 1945-46. The following year he became the group's smallest stage hand. In spite of his comparative lack of experience in this line, the stage manager found him a very energetic and capable worker. He has always been much admired for his friendly manner and individual mannerisms. The first aid class found him always ready with humorous quips to intersperse among correct answers. Mr. Glenn found him an amiable host for the Short Story Club in his junior year. When Jack continues to college next year, the experience he has gained at Blake in these different lines should help him immeasurably.

This year perhaps his greatest honor came when the Dramatics Association recognized his Barrymorish talent and speaking ability by naming him President of the organization, which once more produced a program successful in both popularity and finances. Not content with only one presidency, however. “Seroy served a term as President of the Blake Union, trying desperately to keep his subordinates within the laws of parliamentary procedure, although traditionally in vain. Athletically. John played a bruising game of tackle for two falls and bolstered Cleve’s racqueteers in the spring. His chances for a varsity sweater were quashed by an unfortunate heart affliction which overtook him this fall. Raynoldi. being a writer to be favorably compared with Hemingway. was Feature Editor for the TORCH this year and was in the select group of Williams’ Theme winners. His easy-going manner has gained him the soft job of headwaiter this year. Space prohibits our delving too deeply into our hero’s other accomplishments, so let it suffice to say he is class Vice-President, a boxer, dance-stager, and composer of note. Raynoldi says he’s off to Williams next fall—that is. if he doesn't get married. We’re certain he’ll meet with the same success and popularity there as he has at Blake.

Paul, the “body beautiful type, soon proved to his classmates that he was a character to be reckoned with; and with the help of boxing lessons at the Athletic Club, he did some fine boxing in his freshman, sophomore, and junior years, capturing the welterweight crown twice. On the football field he capably held down a guard position for two years, and although rather small for a lineman Paul tackled with a vehemence that won the largest opponent’s respect. For two years he backstroked and bubbled his way to letters on the swimming team. In extra-curricular activities he more than does his share. Paul has sung a leather-lunged bass in that golden-voiced body known as the Glee Club for two years, and this year he served as student director and fill-in actor in the plays. And yet despite these numerous school activities Paul is very busy outside. He has long amazed and confounded the seniors with his excellent taste in companions’ of the opposite sex. In fact. Paul has come to be considered the class advisor in matters of social life. When Paul greets you with a friendly left to the stomach, you can settle down and prepare for a learned and lengthy discourse on the idiosyncrasies of women.

In addition, Selves has been one of the speediest waiters ( speediest meaning who can steal plates with the most food on them from under his helpless charges’ noses without their realizing what is happening) on Miss Berglund’s staff for the past two years. He helped to stage a Publications Dance during the year to facilitate reaching his hoped-for goal of twenty-five hundred dollars in ads for the yearbook, the largest goal set in the school’s history.

He spends winter afternoons engaged with Mr. Vaughan's debaters, of which group he is a major cog. However, during the fall he graces Mr. Lundholm's ranks of touch footballers and stands as one of the outstanding scorers on that squad. As soon as the debating season ends.

George took over the head waiter s job temporarily for the Middle School, where he has made a name for himself, showing little of his usual industriousness. His career in athletics started in the early years when he played end for the coefficients and earned four letters. In his sophomore year he turned his back on participation and took up managerships. His sophomore year found him manager of the J. V. football team, junior year assisting manager of the varsity, and senior year the varsity football manager. Other activities demanded his attention, too, however. and he took over the position of Business Manager of the Glee Club in his senior year, after being a member for two years. The Dramatics Association obtained his valuable services for two years: he served as stage manager in his final year. This position gained Strick” the respect of many boys, for he handled the responsibilities with great ability. The Second-Hand Book Store was undoubtedly formed with George in mind, for he was elected to the position of Vice-President in his junior year and has ably handled the job of President in his final year.

On the swimming team Bill was undoubtedly the hardest working man on the squad and earned three letters as a 220 man. However. Bun’s athletic forte lies in tennis. Aptly called the “Reflex.” Bill is relentlessly steady in singles, while he and Scott Donaldson captured the Inter-scholastic doubles crown last year.

Skid, one of the Edina crew, joined our ranks in second form and thus has suffered through a mere six years of “agony.” Scholastically he has proven himself a worthy student, but it is on the athletic field that he really shines. This fall Skid reported to Bill Glenn's football team in hopes of playing the absolute minimum to win his letter. Much to his surprise, however, by the end of the season he was the best slashing end on the squad. During the winter months our hero plays basketball, and this year as captain he led Lundy's fast breakers to their best season since the days when the chapel served as the gym. On the varsity nine Skid’s throwing arm made him a valuable outfielder. “T orpi” is not only a versatile athlete; he is aslo one of the most respected of seniors.

On several occasions it has been necessary to summon an oculist to untangle a batter’s eyes which have become twisted trying to follow this peculiar pitch. “Say. John. I know just the thing for that frightened look’ your baP always has. Why don’t you try Wylie's Smooth-on No. 1 ?’ My uncle. ’Slick Dick’ Johnson, has been using it right along, and he says it doesn’t give you 60 Senior that plastered-down look. On the contrary, you have a dashing ’cemcnted’-down appearance. Here, I’ll read you the Smooth-on' ad in the Daily Monthly. Here is the news you have been waiting for! The Wylie Tonsorial Tonic and Hair Remover Corporation announces a complete new line of ’’Smooth-on” products to supplement our already complete line. We have given you “Smooth-on No. I. No. 2. No. 3, etc.” Now Wylie’s gives you the new all-purpose tonic. Smooth-on Infinity.” This goo—I mean this scalp preparation—contains our newly-discovered emulsified, hydrogenated, homogenized, pasteurized Creme de la extract de la concentrate do la grasse a la Grizzily. Monsieur “Al” Wylie is proud to say that this newly-developed oil bears no resemblance whatsoever to the natural oils of the skin. But Smooth-on” is guaranteed to remove all oil. dandruff, hair, loose scalp tissue, and other undesirable cranial abnormalities.' By jingo, you know I almost forgot! I’m supposed to report for jury duty tomorrow. “Why. what’s the trouble? “Oh. there’s some case coming up, Dayton versus the State of California.’ Manslaughter. I guess. It seems he’s accused of running down 283 pedestrians (not including women, children, and livestock) at a local hot rod' race. It was an open-and-shut case until George managed to get hold of B. S. Boss' Deinard as lawyer. I guess George got mixed up in his course and came roaring down the main street of some little town. However, he got out of control: and as he passed through the townhall. the mayor landed in the back seat. Now. B. S. is basing his whole case on this simple fact. Because George had the mayor in the car. then actually his wild careen through the town was legal and official and for the public good. They say Deinard is one of the slickest criminal lawyers in the country. Remember his slogan: If there's a loophole in your case. B. S. will pull you through.’ Why. just the other day he got—wait a minute, listen—(radio): “ ’Calling most cars, calling most cars. Go to Seventh and Wabasha. Holdup. Look for man in blue, double-breasted pin-stripe suit, tan gloves, gray hat. Has blonde moll with him. Both are said to be about four feet high. That is all. No. wait a minute—don’t touch that dial. Calling a few cars, calling a few cars. Go to Eighth and Wabasha. Holdup. Same couple. That is—no. wait, calling some car. calling some car. any car, will somebody please go to Ninth and Wabasha? What? wait, you can't come in here! Help, there’s a short guy in a blue pin-stripe suit in—Aggh—thud—.’ “Say. that sounds like our old friend, Duke Duffy. I’ve always wondered what became of him. But I knew he’d be the one success of our class. “I hear that old Harry Lundholm retired from the math department at our dear Alma Mater. Blake. Lundy really was a good math teacher, but I guess they got hold of Charlie Krogness to take his place. The boys fondly refer to him as Fog Krog.' It seems that Charlie made quite a reputation teaching abstract mathematics and advanced calculus at Sweatmore University. They say he developed a new method for proving that the fourth and fifth dimensions are at an angle of 87 2° to each other—that is. if viewed from the vertical-hoiizontal perspective. Owing to this method. Krog has a way with boys, a knack for putting elementary arithmetic and algebra into the simplest of terms. So far he is the only one to return to school to take the punishment we used to hand out. 61 Call O’ Pan “By the way. Randy, did you know that Pummeling Paul Schmitt is due for a title defense in Los Angeles next month? I understand that he'll fight ‘Funnel-head Beanbody’ for the underweight title of the Near East. Paul always was a fighter at heart. I guess Johnny Tillman is managing him. and he says that Paul will go to the top. Of course, it's been a long pull for Paul all the way. but he has what it takes. I heard that when he fought Biceps Bodsproff. he used a special blooper punch and beat Biceps badly about the head and shoulders. “Yeah. Say. I saw the following ad in the paper the other day: ‘Are you weak and flabby? Are you overweight, underweight, do you have flat feet, rising arches? Let Muscles Matt' work you over. Come to Peppard’s strength salon and leave feeling a new man.’ I guess there's real money in that racket: I saw Matt go by in a platinum-plated cycle the other day. “And speaking of cycles. I hear that Chu’ Hartwell has a 2 -acre wheat farm in Toxic Valley. Montana. He claims that he uses the most modern methods, but the neighbors say he harvests with a razor and a bushel-basket. His last year's crop, on the way to American Relief, was blown overboard by a crewman’s sneeze: but this year, with the help of Holcombe's Famous Fermented Fertilizer, he hopes for more success. “Say. look here on the back page right between the Lysol ad and the prize fight announcements. If it isn’t A. C. Spencer's syndicated nation-wide column entitled. ’All the muck that’s fit to rake.' Listen to this: ‘Fellow citizens, beware! Soviet Russia is a country of purposeful action. Well, not exactly purposeful. Let me put it another way. No other country in the world is as aimless as the Soviet Union. Unions, unions are necessary to—did I say unions?— and I say to you again and again, forward with Bach to—well, anyway— oh, yes. I see my space is up. Oh! Today’s Tuesday, and that’s what the situation is here in the loony bin.’ “Say. Doug. I’m pooped. “What's wrong? “Oh. I was at a masquerade party the other day and didn’t get in until late. But I did see Chuck Kelly there.” “How's that?” “Oh. I was sitting by the men's room when a large brown B’ flashed by. At first I thought it was only a couple of doughnuts rolling by on top of each other: but it flashed by again: and I got a good look. It turned out to be Chuck Kelly. Well, we fell to talking about Slravolli's eighth marimba. I asked him how he was making out. and he said he was in the red. I finally found out, however, that he is running a letter shop in competition with ’Antony the Pennant Man.’ He said to drop by sometime. I guess I will. I can’t miss this store. He has a large sign that says: ‘O Captain. My Captain. Your Letter-Sweater’s Done.’ (Radio): “Cough. Cough. Cough.” “Say. that's a bad cold you have there.’’ “Aw! it’s not a cold: it’s that smoker’s hack that’s bothering me. I don’t know what to do for it.

Draageeh’s are extra long, too: as a matter of fact, our president. Long John Heegaard. says: 'We have gone to great expense to secure the great medical research scientist. Dr. Ulysses DeWitt Hewitt, better known as U. DcWitt Hewitt. The brilliant Dr. Hewitt spent fifteen years in the undergraduate medical school of Johns 62 Seniori Hopkins University, but found that his application was somehow lost and he was not actually enrolled. Dr. Hewitt then started his own practice as an osteopathic and cranial surgeon. But his friends fondly call him a bone-head Doctor. Well, Doctor Hewitt, what do you have to say about the newer, milder Draageeh after your extensive tests? Cough. Thank you. Long John and Dr. Hewitt. (Radio is turned off.) Say, look here; here's something about good old Melon-head Melin. I guess he’s been promoted. Here. I’ll read you what it says in this release from the Navy Dept.: Commodore A. H. Melin was recently promoted from his former position of vice to full admiral. It is reported that the promotion came as the result of heroic measures taken by the admiral aboard the U. S. S. Shoal-scraper when a mutiny was threatened. Shouted Melin from the bridge: Avast and step lively, ye bloomin' meat-hooks, or you'll be pulling your teeth out of belaying pins. (Unquote.) After the near fracas the admiral, calmly picking his teeth with a yard-arm. retired to polish his brass knuckles.'—You know, that Melin always was a cool customer— Hmumm—Say. you know. Randy, you look a little peaked: perhaps it's your liver—Oh, yes. I forgot. Dr. Wetherby removed that when he was trying to find your appendics—Well, anyway, I really think you should try some of Hyde's Healthful Laminated Liver Lubricate. It's selling like hotcakes. The way I heard it. Hyde was going through one of the Gen. Mills' plants when, carelessly misplacing one foot on top of the other, he fell against a lever and released 7 1 a tons of gear grease into vat 68 of Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Quickly recovering his composure, he leapt back and nimbly put his hand into a fuse box. There was a crackle and the bottom dropped out of vat 68, releasing the boiling contents into a carload of soft coal. The resulting compound has had an amazing effect on the liver and other organs. Mr. Hyde (now a vice-president) spends his day first falling against the lever and then cleverly inserting an assistant's hand into the fuse box. I had an idea Dwight would put those banana fingers of his to good use. You know. Seroy, I had myself a mighty fine vacation last summer. Where did you go? I was up to Fisher’s Better Hunting and Fishing Lodge up in Catsaskatoon. Sask. It was a lucky day for him when I came. I found him absorbed in his work, but by the grace of God and a long-forked pole, I pulled him to shore. Business was slack: so we sat and chinned a while—after we had shaved. He told me all about the intrigues of his profession. I had a good time and left with my head swimming with facts and my pockets trickling with worms. I’m sure his business will prosper, though he is all wet most of the time. Well, boys. I guess it's time for me to look in on some of my patients. It’s been nice talking over some of the old classmates—” (Goes out.) Yeah, we had quite a time at Blake. Well, guess I'll be running along now. See you later— (Goes out.) Hmmm. I see the market's falling—Well, most of the boys did pretty well for themselves. Not a bad class, on the whole. I guess the school was still standing when we left—or was it? (Goes out.)

JUNIORS THIS year the class roster was augmented by the addition of four new boys. They were John Bcrchiclli. Hugh Drcsslar. Joe Murphy, and Bob Thompson. At the first meeting of the year the class elected the following officers: Holmgren, president: Drill, vice-president: and Gamble, secretary-treasurer. Led consistently by Cameron. Helmick. Leslie, and Hutchinson, the class has stood very high scholastically with many on the Honor Roll. We have been well represented in such extra-curricular activities as Dramatics. Glee Club. Debating. and Publications. Elected to the Union this year were Linman. Drill. Norton. Aurand. Gamble. Thompson. Adams, and Holmgren. Linman and Cameron were our Student Council representatives. Last fall the juniors represented on the varsity squad were Drill. Thompson. Linman. Bruzck. Gamble. Aurand. Hutchinson. Cameron, and Holmgren. The winter found the form evenly divided among the three principal sports. Adams and Drill were the outstanding hockey players. Norton. Linman, and 'Thompson bolstered Mr. Lundholm’s basketeers. while Wasie. Beard. Brown. Gamble, Bosanko, Dalgleish, and Larson earned their swimming letters. This spring most of the class turned to baseball, but several tried their hand at tennis and golf. I wish, on behalf of the class, to thank Mr. Vaughan, our advisor, for giving us much help where help was needed, and for devoting many valuable hours to the welfare of our class. 67 —ROBERT Holmgren.

Last spring Allan Grossman was elected to the Student Council, and the class chose the following officers: Dick Rademachcr. president: Richie Crawford, vice-president: and John Selover. secretary-treasurer. Football proved the dominating sport last fall. Reidhead and Rademachcr both won letters on the Varsity. The J.V. was well represented by Corbell. Dwinncll. Hommeyer, Johnstone, Groves, Krogness. and Selover. There were many other boys who received letters on the coefficient teams. During the winter term hockey, swimming, and basketball lured most of the boys. Scherer and Reidhead received their letters while playing on the undefeated hockey team. Hommeyer and Krogness represented us on the never-beaten swimming team, while John Selover won his letter on the basketball squad. As spring rolled around, baseball took the majority of the class, with many boys going out for Varsity. J.V.. and coefficient teams. Although our scholastic average was not as high as in previous years, Wong. Grossman. Peterson. Ringland. and Gilson made honors at various times. The class was represented in the Dramatics Association, with Schwartz and Winston receiving major parts, while many other boys of the Sophomore Class participated. The Fourth Form wishes to show its appreciation to Mr. Butler for his help as our advisor, and also to the other masters for their splendid help throughout the year. —Richard RADEMACHER, President. 68 tindetcla men Back row: Gluck.

On the Junior Varsity Bingham and Gluek represented the class. Ankeny, Buffiington. Cohen, Corbett. Harris, Klass. Lowe, and Schmid won their letters on the “A” team, while Boies and Eck earned theirs on the B team. Lavine and Slocum played tennis during the fall term. In the winter most of the class played hockey, although some played basketball. Ankeny and Boies were stalwarts of the J. V. hockey squad. In the spring Ankeny. Schmid. Klass, Corbett. Harris, and Cohen played baseball on the A team. The others played with Mr. Runkle on the ■'Runkle Sluggers.” Eck and Graham played golf during the spring term. Scholastically, our class ranked highly, with Ankeny. Boies, and Corbett maintaining the highest averages, followed closely by Slocum, Ueland, Stiles, and Buffington. Our representative on the Student Council was Slocum. Cohen and Gluek sold a lot of ads for the CALL O'PAN. We wish to take this space to thank our masters, personal advisors, athletic directors, and Mr. Pollock, our class advisor, for their help and counsel during the school year. —Lawrence Bingham, President. 69 Call 0’Pan Back row: R.

SECOND FORM THE beginning of school last fall brought into our class four new members. They were Burt Hersh. Burr Lewis. Paul Hommeyer. and John Strudwick. The class elected Walter Barry as vice-president and Burt Hersh as secretary-treasurer. Although the class as a whole hasn't ranked too high scholastically. Walt Barry. Dave Boies. John Hiatt, and Dave Drill have made first honors this year, while Dave Strieker, Dave Heegaard, Bill Jones. Dick Larson, and John Raines have managed to make second honors. On the football field last fall our form was represented on the “A team by Boos, Crosby. Jones, Drill. Krogness. and Skoglund. the 'B” team by Larson. Barry. Cote, Gesme. Strieker, Nash. Logefiel. Boies, and Scherer, and the C” team by McCarthy and Shevlin. During the winter term there was a combination of basketball and hockey players from the second form. Skoglund. Boos. Crosby. Jones, Adams. Krogness. Larson. Sandberg. Barry. Clark. Scherer, and Drill won letters on the Middle School hockey team. As for the eighth grade basketball team, its members were Strieker, Hommeyer. Strudwick. Clark. Skoglund. Jones. Larson. Smith. Crosby, and Nash. Just before Christmas the second form, combined with some first formers, presented a Christmas Play under the direction of Mrs. Nunan. The class would like to express its appreciation to our personal advisors and to Mr. Runkle. our class advisor, for their help throughout the year. —William Jones, President. 70 Xlndercla Amen Back row: Cagley.

FIRST FORM WHEN school began last fall, seven new boys were added to the already growing first form. They were Tom Gallagher. Peter Mattson, Bill Mullin. Donnie Newhall, John Hibbs. Roger Hollander, and Donald Bush. Elections were held within a few weeks, and the class chose Barry, president: Heffelfinger. vice-president; and Wurtele. secretary-treasurer. Scholastically speaking, the First Form ranked fairly low this year. It was fifth most of the time, but managed to keep a few boys on honors every month. Most of the boys came under the influence of football in the fall with the largest turnouts on the B and “C” squads. On the B” team a few standouts like Bob Cote. Tommy Cagley. Bill Mullin, Edward Barry, and Doug McGandy (manager) earned their way to the football dinner. During the winter the majority of the form played hockey with Angie Wurtele and Jim Ringland taking leading parts in the Brown and White hockey games. Those who didn't go out for hockey played basketball. In the General Information Test in the winter term Bill Mullin took second place of the two forms that competed, being the only one to receive mention in the entire first form. When the Christmas Play came this year, several boys took part. Some boys took major parts, the best of which was undoubtedly Pat Farnand. who played the role of jester in the king's court. I wish, on behalf of the first form, to express my sincerest appreciation to Mr. Wonson. our class advisor, for his valuable assistance and help throughout the year. —Edward Barry. President.

STUDENT COUNCIL I HE Student Council is easily the most respected organization in the school. I he seven student members of this group, together with the headmaster, head up many activities in the school, most important of which are the numerous drives for funds held during the year, such as the Red Cross and Community Chest. The Head Boy enlightens the school as to the particulars of the drive in question by a speech in chapel and then supervises the other six members as they collect money from the various forms, each being assigned a specific form. The Student Council is in charge of two dances every year, the senior members running the Christmas Dance and the juniors the Spring Dance. 'They also choose a Homecoming Committee, which handles the Football Dance besides arranging details of Homecoming Day. Many ideas and “gripes brought up in Union find their way to the Student Council, which, as in the case of the installation of an annual Publications Dance two years ago, usually makes a wise decision. Mr. Clapp’s suggestion this year that there be more clubs in the school was approved, and an experiment in this respect was made. Other duties of this unheralded group are the conducting of chapel exercises every Monday morning and the yearly publication of the B book. The senior members of the Council this year were Doug Johnson (Head Boy). Jim Howard, and Whit MacMillan. Wayne Linman and Bruce Cameron represented the juniors, while Allan Grossman and Bob Slocum were the sophomore and freshman members, respectively. 75 Call 0 ’ Pan Back row: Norton. Hale. Hyde.

The purpose of the organization is to discuss matters pertaining to the school, and to give the boys practice in public speaking and parliamentary procedure. Each year the Union awards a medal to the winner of the Fourth Form Declamation Contest. The Union meets for dinner at the school every second or third Friday. After dinner the group adjourns to the library where various matters arc discussed and speeches made. Three speeches are made at each session by a prepared student, a prepared faculty member, and an extemporaneous student chosen by lot. Besides this, school matters of current interest are discussed. Many plans for the betterment of the school have resulted from these meetings. At the last regular meeting before the Union dinner the senior papers are read. These are documents drawn by the senior members of the Union, which offer constructive criticism of Blake. The dinner is attended by boys already in the Union and newly-elected members. Their fathers are also invited. The Union owes much to Mr. Foss who directed the organization through another very successful year.

Because of mid-year exams coming at the end of January, the debating activities for the year were not commenced until February 1, instead of the usual January 1. The national debate topic, which was used again this year was. Resolved: ‘ that the Federal Government should provide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. Early in the season it seemed an impossibility to obtain affirmative debaters on this topic, but soon Hal Wylie, Kingsley Murphy. Joe Ringland. and Ethan Deinard consented to take the apparently less advantageous side. The negative was composed of Archie Spencer. Bruce Cameron, Don Moyer, and Bob Webb. In spite of the late start, successful debates were arranged with some of Blake’s arch debating rivals among the various schools taking part in this activity in Minneapolis and outlying districts. These continued up to the last day before spring vacation, late in March. The annual intra-squad debate before the school was held, after one postponement, on April 24. probably the latest in the event’s history. With one exception, those taking part were the same as last year. They were Archie Spencer. Bruce Cameron. Hal Wylie, and the newcomer. Kingsley Murphy. Based on ballots showing changed opinions, the negative side won the debate. The Strieker Cup for the best individual performance went to both Cameron and Wylie. The outlook for next year is not very bright, since three of the regular debaters graduate. 77 Call O’ Pan Back row: Hartwell, Holcombe, Spencer. Leslie, Hclmick, Norton, Webb. Cameron, J. Sclover.

Charles Hale 78 Organiza tionA TORCH WITH rising prices staring them in the face, the TORCH Board this year decided to raise the cost of a subscription to the school paper twenty-five cents, making the price an even three dollars. A further saving was made when it was determined at the beginning of the year to publish only nine TORCH’S, one less than usual, both to assure the subscribers they would get what was promised them and to guarantee the publication of a finer CALL O'PAN in the spring. These two alterations in conventionalism didn't meet with much objection, and a successful year for the TORCH resulted. Although the makeup and contents of the TORCH remained much the same, an endeavor was made this year to provide more reader interest in the four pages of the paper. Particular stress was laid on features, an outstanding example of which were those on Perk Galbraith and Martha Tormon by Feature Editor John Raynolds. Dick Bruzek added spice and sarcasm to the Platter Patter column, and John Hartwell continued the popular Sport-Lites. The Faculty Column and Alumni News were continued, and a little more color than usual was put into the notorious Sound and Fury column this year. Head Photographer John Heegaard and his Photography Club did valuable work for the TORCH, and Skid Thorpe’s sports page was excellent throughout the year. The most obvious shortcoming of the T ORCH this year was the too careless proofreading apparent in some editions, but the board was rewarded this spring by receiving third place honors in the nationwide Columbia Press Contest in their respective division. CALL O'PAN T HIS year several changes were made in the CALL O’PAN. The most noticeable of these was the increase in sports coverage, together with individual pictures of the captain of every team. This alteration was made to add color to the book and give the athletic teams better representation. Season's records were also included. Another addition was the printing of the Senior Class Prophecy, always a source of humor. The division pages were made more representative of the portion of school life they were supposed to portray by appropriate photographs. Also the advertisements were placed all in one section at the back of the book to make the different divisions set off better. The Lower, or Junior. School earned more extensive representation this year. As we go to press, it looks as though this CALL O’PAN will be the longest in the history of Blake. That it could be more bulky and representative of school life at the school was made possible by the hard work of Business Manager George Selover, who headed up a drive for advertisements that surpassed all others before it. By increasing the price of ads somewhat and getting off to an early start. Howard and Selover got the Publications more than back on its feet. We offer you this CALL O’PAN as an example of the excellent work the Publications Board has done. We wish to thank all who contributed to this CALL O’PAN of 1947, and to give our especial thanks to the various firms who have advertised in the book. 79 Call O’fan Back row: Grossman. Hutchinson. J.

The thirty-two year precedent was more or less kept in the presentation of a program of one-act plays. However, this year the deviation from the usual was the greatest yet. The presentation consisted of a melodrama, a farce, three classical tragedies, and a classical comedy. This innovation (two extra plays) was received with scepticism by the student body, but it may well set a precedent for future productions. The plays were held, as per custom, at the Woman s Club. The date this year was December 1 3. The officers of the Dramatics Association this year, all of whom discharged their duties in the most ambitious way. were: John Raynoids. president: Hal Wylie, business manager: and George Strieker, stage manager. When Raynoids was afflicted with a serious malady early in the fall, it was necessary to fill his position temporarily while he was recovering. To fill this opening. Marsh Thomson was elected to the newly-formed position of vice-president. Under this able leadership, the administration of the association was well handled. Raynoids returned in time to head the house crew for the production. The first play was a melodrama entitled. “The Master of Solitaire.” by Jean Latham. The stars of this play were Randy Brown. Bruce Cameron, and Dwight Hyde. Brown played a clever retired detective, and Cameron was a notorious criminal. Hyde was Cameron’s henchman. Through a clever ruse. Brown calmly tricked Cameron into confessing his crime. These three did an excellent job with this play. 80 Organization This melodrama was followed by a modern farce entitled, “The Trysting Place.’’ by Booth Tarkington. Many underclassmen acted in this presentation, including John Buffington. Tom Colwell, Don Winston. Ted Schwartz. Drip Holmgren. Matt Loufek. and Allen Grossman. A humorous plot, consisting of two pair of lovers in the same family both making appointments to meet in the same place, leads to very complicating and riotous results. This fast moving, humorous play was admirably presented by this cast. From this beginning of two modern plays, the show turned to the classics. The first cut from the classics was from Shakespeare's “Richard 11. Jim Leslie took the title role, ably assisted by John Hartwell, Jim Slocum, Ray Scherer, and Fritz Drill. The scene of the cut is in prison, where Richard is being verbally tortured by the Exton. Fourth in the line of plays was the well-known scene from Julius Caesar where Brutus and Antony sway the crowd by fancy oratory. Brutus was played by Dick Hutchinson, and Antony by Marsh Thomson. This short excerpt was undoubtedly the best done of the entire evening. It was generally agreed that Thomson s performance was the most outstanding of the evening s presentation. If any of the spectators thought that seventeenth century Shakespearean plays were too old for presentation, they certainly were amazed at the cut from the two thousand-odd year old play “Antigone. by Sophocles. Cal Aurand. Charlie Hale, and Tom Helmick acted in this cut from an ancient masterpiece. They were all excellent in their respective parts. This very old classic was well-received and comparably popular despite its long life. The last of the plays and the fourth of the classical cuts was a scene from the last act of “A Midsummer Night s Dream. This particular scene is a play within a play entitled Pyramus and Thisbe. Acting in this play were: Robert Page. John Hallcnberg. John Heegaard, Archie Beard. Hal Wylie. Paul Schmitt, and Mike Bosanko. All in all. the plays this year were a financial success, and all who saw them were well satisfied upon their departure. The end of the regular plays in December usually brings an end to the regular activities of the Dramatics Association. However, this year, under the complete sponsorship and direction of Mr. Jones, a joint play in conjunction with Northrop was held. T he dates of this performance were May 23 and May 24. the place being the Northrop school auditorium. The play was The Late Christopher Bean.” by Sidney Howard. Taking part in this play from Blake were Marsh Thomson. Bruce Cameron, Don Moyer, Jim Wittenberg, and Dick Hutchinson, together with four girls from Northrop. Through the joint cooperation of the dramatics associations of both schools, with the respective officers in each position working together for the best results, this late presentation seemed ticketed for a huge success as we went to press. 81 Call O’ Pan Arthur C. Regan (President) Warren J. Palm (Secretary-Treasurer) John C. Savage (Vice-President) ALUMNI ASSOCIATION THE Blake Alumni Association began on that June day of 1913 when Frederick D. Boutelle received his diploma as the first graduate of the Blake we know today. Over the years the number of those who once were boys at Blake has increased steadily until it stands now at 826. This is a really impressive figure. Moreover, it suggests the opportunity which the alumni now have, to assume enlarged responsibility for the continued success of the school. A few additional figures will serve to show the increasingly important role which Blake alumni have already begun to play in the affairs of the school. As you know, the school has fifteen trustees. Of this number eleven are former Blake boys. Of the boys now in school, sixty-six. or about 21 per cent of the total present enrollment, are sons of Blake fathers. These statistics are significant. They show that, in the minds of those who should know better than anyone else, Blake is providing the kind of education and training they want for their boys. So far our association has been largely a social body. We have met occasionally and engaged in pleasant reminiscences. We have discussed in general terms various objectives for the school and have even reached a number of somewhat vague conclusions. We have done a few specific things, but not many. This year, for example, we had an opportunity to present suitable medals to the tennis, hockey and swimming teams in recognition of their undefeated seasons. It would seem, however, that the Alumni Association has now reached sufficient stature to justify its taking a more active part in the school's responsibilities and opportunities. The time has arrived for it to assume its full share of the job which lies ahead. 82 Arthur C. Regan, President. Organ iza tion.s LOWER SCHOOL DRAMATICS THIS year’s Christmas Play given by the Middle School deviated from the conventional pattern of serious Yuletide messages and delved into the more frivolous and joyous aspects of the Christmas season. The presentation, entitled Yuletide Revels in Merrie England.'' was well-received by the audience of students, faculty. and guests. The comedy prevalent throughout the performance was a refreshing change from the more or less moralistic themes presented in the past. The action part of the drama took place on an improvised stage at the front of the chapel. The acting was interrupted per usual by the singing of appropriate carols by the Glee Club ard the audience. The majority of the Middle School participated in this play, although most of the speaking parts of any length were handled by the second form boys. The pageant got under way with the court of the King and Queen as a background and showed Wittenberg and Raines as the royal pair. T hese two were being waited upon by a group of slaves, and the main action was yet to come. It finally came in the person of a bevy of mummers according to the tradition of old England. The mummers gave the onlookers a riotous and splendid interpretation of the ancient story of St. George and the Dragon. Excellent in this portion of the play were Pat Farnand. Walter Barry. Burt Hersh. and Dave Heegaard. Finally, the whole cast was amply rewarded, at a hint from some of the players, by a shower of small change thrown by the audience. This sent the actors sprawling and squirming all over the floor with abandon; but after this unexpected, temporary respite the cast joined the Glee Club, school, and audience in singing a fine rendition of Come. All Ye Faithful. The success of this year’s production can be traced to Mrs. Leone Nunan. the Middle School’s public speaking teacher, for she was responsible for the excellent training the young actors received. Mr. Allen's Glee Club also added to the play, helping to make it one of the most enjoyable in Blake history. SECOND HAND BOOK STORE ALTHOUGH the Second Hand Book Store has not had the full co-operation of the students, it is doing a fine job. Since it's inception in the Union, the book store has been of great benefit to all the boys who have purchased second hand books. During the last few days of school the officers of the Book Store buy books from the students and then, during the following year, sell them to the incoming classes. Since stock in the Second Hand Book Store is sold at any time, both masters and students can buy stocks. Its policies are decided upon and its directors chosen by a vote of stockholders. At the end of the school year the officers buy back the stock of the outgoing students. The Second Hand Book Store was started merely as an experiment, and it has broadened into a very successful establishment. Its officers for the past year were: President.............................. George Strieker Vice President.......................... Wayne Linman Secretary.......................... Richard Hutchinson Treasurer ............................. John Hartwell Faculty Advisor................................... Mr. Phillips 83 Call 0 ’ Pan Dciiurd. Howard. Mclin. Johnson. Pogue. Spencer. CUM LAUDE IN the spring of this year the membership in the Blake chapter of the Cum Laude Society was increased by six members of the Class of 1947. These boys have all richly deserved this honor, for each has had to maintain a consistently high average throughout his high school career to receive this distinction. The boys chosen this year, listed alphabetically, were Ethan Curtis Deinard. James Adrian Howard. Douglas Lee Johnson. Albert Hubbard Melin, Richard Ewart Pogue, Jr., and Archibald Campbell Spencer. The initiation dinner was held on May 16 with a host of regular and honorary members present, as well as the fathers of the boys honored. The guest speaker of the evening was Mr. Bradshaw Mintencr of the Class of 1919. The Cum Laude Society, which is nation-wide in scope, has chapters in more than ninety of the better known preparatory schools. Each year boys and girls from the graduating class of each school possessing membership are elected members on the basis of scholarship and character, so that the organization is to the high school what the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity is to the college. Although the society was founded in 1906, Blake did not become a member until February 12, 1927. However, in the years since then Blake has had the opportunity of augmenting its ranks with many outstanding young men of achievement and promise. 84 Otg.aniza tionJ Dr. LcRoy Arnold John Crosby HONORARY MEMBERS Charles C.

GLEE CLUB THE activities of the Glee Club this year have been held at a standstill due principally to the lack of cooperation among some of its members. The year started with promise for a successful season, but matters out of the hands of the Director. Mr. Allen, forced cancellation of scheduled plans. Early in the fall the elections were held. Hal Wylie, a four-year veteran, was elected President: Matt Peppard, a new senior member of the organization this year was elected Vice-President: the newly-formed position of Business Manager went to George Strieker, a one-year member: and Marsh Thomson, a member of previous years, was chosen Secretary. The early fall activities of the club included the arrangement of boys into parts and the introduction of many new musical comedy numbers. The pre-war practice of giving Glee Club keys to three-year veterans was resumed this year. However, because of the unsettled condition of the club in recent seasons, only one member. Hal Wylie, received the award at commencement in June. Although all plans for a concert have been abandoned, the Glee Club is far from disbanded as this book goes to press. The plans now are to sing in chapel before the school a few of the best selections which the members have been practicing on during the year. In addition to this, the club will appear at both Vespers and Commencement. Since few members graduate, next year should see the return of the well-known Blake Glee Club of old. 86 Oxganiza tioni FORUMS IT has always been the policy at Blake to give students a chance to learn things that are not available in their regular classroom courses. To carry out this plan, various prominent authorities in different fields have been invited to speak at the school in what are called “forums.” The success of these forums has been proved by the large crowd of boys they always attract, although they are in no way compulsory. The first forum this year had as its subject. “Color Photography.” explained by a representative of one of the large photographic firms. The subject was rather technical for many, but most of the boys could understand at least the rudiments of it. The speaker at the next forum was Dr. Cuneo of the University, who spoke at length about South America—its customs, people, and problems—in a clear and concise manner. A few days later the speaker was Ed Ryan, newly elected sheriff of Hennepin County. He spoke about police work with its problems and explained the “inside” story on the fabulous Shctsky case, which he had just closed. The next speaker was John Pillsbury. who explained the intricacies of Naval Combat Intelligence to a group of fascinated students. As the final speaker. Mr. Edie. of our own history department, talked on Korea. Mr. Edie was with the American Military Government in Korea and thus was able to bring us right up to date with his first-hand information. His enlightening talk brought an end to another successful season of forums. PUBLIC SPEAKING IN addition to the regular English course. Blake has always given its students a thorough grounding in public speaking. This year Mr. Jones has taken over the teaching duties for this course in the Upper School. He has trained the boys by having them give many informal talks of various lengths. In the Middle School Mrs. Nunan handles the instruction in public speaking. After working hard on their speaking technique all year, the boys then may compete for the various prizes in the different annual contests held at the school. The first was the Williams’ Theme Contest, in which the finalists read their original papers before the school. This year the winner was John Hartwell for his story. “The Fountain.” while Peter Card got honorable mention for his “Sonnet. Next came the Fourth Form Declamation Contest, which Ted Schwartz won with his “The Creation, a Negro Sermon. Allen Grossman took second-place laurels by his presentation of Thurber’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” In the Thorpe Cup Contest for extemporaneous talks on Minnesota. John Raynolds won first-place honors, and Hal Wylie was judged to be second in one of the most excellent contests of this kind ever held. David Heegaard of the second form won first prize in the Wilson Cup Contest for Middle Schoolers, with John Regan receiving honorable mention. Supplementing these many contests are the daily speeches of juniors and seniors in the morning chapel services. Each senior must give two talks a year, while each junior must give only one. 1'wo prizes are given at the end of the year to the best speakers in each form, respectively. All in all. these prepared speeches are very beneficial and provide much speaking experience. 87 Call O’ Pan Back row: Hale. Hartwell. Webb. Deinard. Leslie. Beard. Bosanko. G. Selover. R. Brown.

WAITERS THE long-established custom of waiting on tables during the noon meal by student waiters was carried out again this year. However, for the first time this year there were three lunches to be handled, the Upper. Middle, and Lower School. Each of these lunches had a student head waiter and an efficient (?) staff of regular waiters. The headwaiters this year were Macnider Wetherby in the Upper School. John Raynolds in the Middle School, and John Pratt in the Lower School. The regular waiters receive their meals free of charge, and the substitutes get 50c a day for their services. The headwaiters each receive 25c a day in addition to their free meals. The price of meals has been raised 10c owing to the high cost of food, but the increase is more than balanced by the excellence of the food. T here is 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 desserts in one meal. The benefits of being a waiter are obvious when the amount of food received and the financial aid given to each boy are taken into account.

Secretary Mrs. Macnider Wetherby............................Treasurer OUR year's work opened in October with a busy day on the telephone securing housing accommodations for the Lake Forest Academy football team from Illinois. The parents of the Blake boys were very hospitable, and soon the visiting team was placed in various homes. A letter from the wife of the Headmaster of Lake Forest Academy. Mrs. E. Francis Bowditch. to the Mothers’ Association, and notes from the boys to their hosts showed that the friendliness and entertainment of Blake School were deeply appreciated. In February the Mothers' Associations of both the Senior and Lower Schools gave a tea in the library honoring Mrs. Clapp. Many took advantage of this privilege of meeting Mrs. Clapp—and welcoming her to Blake School. Chaperones for the school dances given during the year were secured by the Mothers' Association. The following mothers were hostesses at the form dinners: Mrs. Deforest Spencer...............................VI Mrs. Charles Hutchinson ............................ V Mrs. Nathaniel Stevens ..............................IV Mrs. James Slocum ..................................Ill Mrs. Alfred Hiatt. Jr................................II Mrs. Arthur Hyde. Jr. I The form dinners afforded the parents the opportunity of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Clapp and of hearing Mr. Clapp’s informal question and answer discussion of future college choices and plans for Blake School. Parents were also able to discuss individual problems with the masters. The announced spring meeting was devoted to voting funds for a part-time scholarship for the coming year and electing new officers. Mrs. John F. Raynolds, President PRESS CLUB THE function of the Blake Press Club is to handle all Blake publicity in Minneapolis newspapers. The task of gathering the necessary information and presenting it to the various departments of the city papers often assumes large proportions. The largest proportion of material handled by the Press Club is athletic news, but dances, teas, and other social functions come in for their share. This year several large features were handled for the undefeated swimming and hockey teams. The hardest season is the football season when bi-weekly trips to the paper are necessary. During the past year the student representative was Chuck Kelly. He was ably assisted by Bill Horn, who will assume full duty next fall. Mr. Calt and Mr. Phillips gave very great assistance and deserve much credit. 89 Call 0’Pan SHORT STORY CLUB AGAIN this year Mr. Glenn resumed the practice of reading short stories to all juniors and seniors so inclined at various homes during the winter term. The Short Story Club, as this venture is called, met with the usual popularity this winter, holding the unprecedented number of four meetings. The gatherings are held on Sunday evenings, beginning with a few selections read aloud by Mr. Glenn and ending with a makeshift supper served by the host. The first Short Story Club meeting was held at the home of John Hartwell, and was perhaps the most successful of them all. Mr. Glenn's readings were almost entirely on the humorous side and were appreciated by all present. Randy Brown was the next host, opening his doors to some twenty seniors and juniors. Cobb’s “Faith. Hope, and Charity” was again read and proved very popular with the boys, along with the other short stories. The last two meetings took place at the homes of George Strieker and Hal Wylie, respectively. Of the stories offered at these gatherings perhaps Lardner's “Hurry Kane” was received most heartily. All in all. the year was a very profitable one for the Short Story Club, and much thanks is due Mr. Glenn and the various hosts for their generosity. ATHLETIC STORE THE Athletic Store is one of the most important functions in the school, and has been for many years. All the various sports equipment used throughout the year are purchased from the store, making it very valuable to all who are athletically inclined. This year Hub Melin handled the business end of the store, and was very successful in the discharging of his duties. Aiding him in the latter part of the year was Marsh Thomson, who will take over the head position next fall. Although the usual trouble with petty thieves around Blake was experienced, Melin and Thomson combated these felons and came out on top at the end of the year. The Athletic Store is opened for business during recess, after lunch, and at the beginning of play period. At these times boys can buy needed equipment merely by signing a slip, thus avoiding any mixups that might result from the lack of sufficent funds on hand. Before the war almost all supplies for the store were purchased from the Aldritt Company. However, during the war and in later peace years equipment has been so difficult to obtain that goods have been bought from any possible source, although Aldritt’s has continued to supply Blake with quite a bit of worthy equipment. Sweatshirts have been particularly hard to get this year, much to the consternation of the store s customers. The store this year increased its inventory somewhat by selling brown wool coat sweaters, a popular venture. We hope in the future the Blake Athletic Store will have an easier time obtaining equipment and will be able to serve the students even better. 90 Org.aniza tion£ DANCES LAST year’s annual Junior-Senior Prom, held as usual at the Woodhill Country Club on June 7, turned out to be a gala occasion for all those who attended. Dancing to the rhythmic strains of Bill West and his popular crew, the juniors and seniors were kept well in hand by the group of chaperones including Mr. and Mrs. Alder, Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr. and Mrs. Lundholm. Punch was served at this festive, formal affair, which occupied the conventional hours between nine and one o’clock. Topping off a successful Homecoming Day, the Football Dance took place in the school library. Whereas this dance is usually held on the day of the final game of the season, this year it was decided by the committee of Kelly. Bruzek. and Hickok to hold it as a part of the Homecoming celebration: and all seemed to approve of the idea. Cokes were on hand for refreshments, and the dance was terminated at twelve after an evening of pleasant dancing to the Minneapolis All Stars’ ” music. The annual formal Christmas Dance on December 20 was one of the most successful dances held at Blake in a long time. Sonny DeLaney's sextet played to an enthusiastic crowd which packed the floor. Martha s famous punch was served to quench the thirst of the dancers. Howard, Johnson, and MacMillan arranged the various details and deserve commendation for the dance’s success. This year again a Publications Dance was given to aid the CALL O’PAN financially, and committee members Raynolds, Selover. and Wylie reaped great profits for their organization. Records were utilized for music, and cokes and Nesbitt's were sold in the Trophy Room. On Friday. March 27, the Spring Dance a la Linman and Cameron took place in the library and attracted a fairly sizeable crowd. Cokes were on hand, and Ed Bossing provided the music. The usual hours of nine to twelve were recognized, and all went home happy. This year’s J.S. has again been set for Wood-hill on June 1 3. FIRST AID THIS year again a First Aid Class was held at Blake during the play period after the football season. The class of almost twenty boys was very fortunate to have Johnny Hartman for their instructor. Johnny is probably the most gifted man in Minneapolis when it comes to First Aid. being an efficient worker for Red Cross when not sinking his time into the Blake swimming team. The boys had ten two-hour sessions, followed by a searching examination to determine whether they had earned their certificates. All in all. the class was a great success and was of great benefit to all concerned. 91 yita ot Sport Back row: Linman. Holcombe. Front row': Mr. Cleveland. Hyde. Mr. Phillips. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION A DECIDED change in the policy of the Athletic Association came about this year when the dues were raised from eight to fifteen dollars, almost a one hundred per cent increase. This raise was necessitated by the still soaring prices of athletic goods, the purchase of much new equipment, the establishment of basketball as a sport here at Blake, and the increased football budget, which now includes the funds for out-of-state trips. Among these reasons, most important were the football and basketball clauses. This year for the first time a Blake football team traveled out of the state, journeying to Kansas City to encounter Pembroke Country Day in a new two-year contract which calls for them to come to Minneapolis next fall. Included in this innovation was a similar contract with Lake Forest Academy of Illinois, which played Blake here this fall. This annual trip adds quite a bit to the football budget. The installation of basketball as a minor sport for the first time in twenty-three years also drew heavily on the athletic funds, for new jerseys were bought along with other equipment, and a church floor was rented twice a week to practice on. Also officials were higher-priced this year, and for greater success in Blake’s athletic setup the association decided it must raise its dues substantially. One meeting has been held to date, in which the various teams' budgets were proposed and approved by the student body. T he new dues and different aspects of Blake's athletic department were also discussed, and each boy received a copy of the athletic budget. OFFICERS Director of Athletics President............

FOOTBALL BLAKE'S gridmen got off to a rather shaky start this year, in which they won one and lost three, but afterwards bore down and won their last three games. In these last games the Bruins blanked their opponents, while they racked up a total of 72 points. Early in the season the team lost left tackle John Raynolds and left half Johnny Hartwell through sickness. This loss was felt all season. The fiery spirit and drive which was present all season was instigated by Captain and Center Dwight Holcombe, who was the main cog of the team, and by Dwight Hyde, who was voted the Williams 'Trophy by his teammates and was high scorer with thirty-eight points. BLAKE 0—DE LA SALLE 6 With only ten days of practice under their belts the Hilltoppers journeyed to Nicollet Island and lost a heart-breaking game to De LaSalle. 6 to 0. The first half saw the Bruins drive halfway into Islander territory, where they were halted and where punting duels finished the half. Blake seemed headed for a sure score in the second half when their vaunted passing attack began to click. But all hopes of victory exploded when De LaSalle's Coulombe intercepted a fourth down pass and ran eighty yards for the victory margin. BLAKE 13—CRETIN 7 The next week in the game with Cretin's highly-rated eleven, the Bears took the field a two-touchdown underdog, but showed what they could do by dominating the play from the opening kickoff to take a 1 3 to 7 victory. Dave Hickok was the star of the day. Hitting like a ton of bricks from his center line backing 96 yiiajot Spotty position. Dave made nearly 80 per cent of Blake’s tackles. Blake’s scores were both set up by sustained marches. Howard and Hartwell smashing over in the first and third periods respectively. Cretin s Padden scored on the very last play of the game on a long pass. BLAKE 7—LAKE FOREST ACADEMY 21 Playing without mainstays Raynolds and Hartwell, the Brown and White encountered a big, veteran-packed Lake Forest Academy team, which outweighed them close to twenty pounds per man. Although the Bruins showed the same fire and drive that they had in the Cretin game, it was a question of too much weight and class. LFA scored in the first minutes when Jack Lohnes ran back a punt 65 yards and again later in the quarter. A fighting Blake team made it 14 to 7 at the half, but. having taken a physical beating, could not prevent LFA from scoring again early in the fourth quarter. BLAKE 0—SHATTUCK 18 Journeying down to Faribault, a spiritless and slightly over-confident Blake team saw both its offense and its defense collapse at the same time, and was blanked by a mediocre Shattuck eleven. The Shads took advantage of Blake’s slow start and scored on a screen pass early in the first quarter. Still ignorant of the impending disaster, the Bruins started the second half in the same lethargic condition. It was not until late in the fourth quarter that the Bears snapped out of it. showing some drive, but it was too late to do anything about their humiliating defeat. BLAKE 13—PEMBROKE 0 Still smarting from the defeat the week before, the Bruins traveled to Kansas City to meet Pembroke, one of the strong teams in the Missouri private school league. Playing under lights for the first time, Blake literally pushed the Red Raiders all over the field, both on offense and defense. Pembroke’s total ground gain for the evening was minus. By all rights the score should have been higher, since three or four scoring threats were stopped close to the double stripe by long penalties. Captain Dwight Holcombe, playing his first game since receiving a shoulder injury earlier in the season, was the spark that fired the team. BLAKE 20—ST. PAUL ACADEMY 0 With the memory of last year's defeat at the hands of the Acads still in the minds of most of the team, the vengeful Hilltoppers took the field determined to show the Homecoming crowd that they could reverse last year's outcome. Taking an early lead on a Linman to Hyde pass, the Bears took revenge.by completely outplaying the Academy eleven. Quarterback Buck Linman. playing an outstanding game, completed the scoring by sneaking over from the two-foot line in the second period, and by running back an intercepted pass for 30 yards in the last period. BLAKE 39—PILLSBURY 0 Not bothered by the fact that Pillsbury was the Minnesota Private School champion. Blake continued to pour on the power of the previous two games and completely routed the champs. Receiving the kickoff, the Bears marched straight down the field to score, Pogue running around right end for the last five yards. From that time on the game was a rout, Hyde scoring twice on passes, and Pogue. Hickok, and Selover completing the scoring. 97 COACH'S COMMENTS Macmillan—Whit played a good defensive game at end all season. His hard blocking made the left side T plays click consistently. Howard—Jim’s faking and hard running at right halfback gave the attack power and deception. On defense he played the outside backer-up position. The opponents made very little ground through his territory. Holcombe—Captain of the 1946 team. Dwight did not play in three games because of a shoulder injury, but when he did get back into action he proved to be a good blocker at center and a fine leader. Hyde—Dwight played right end on offense and both end and tackle on defense. He was the team’s leading scorer and the winner of the Williams Trophy. A good blocker and one of the best pass receivers in high school football. 98 COACH'S COMMENTS Linman—Buck was a fine punter and unusual forward passer. His deceptive ball handling from the quarterback position made the T formation go. Pogue—Dick began to come at left halfback in the Lake Forest game. He was the best back on the field at Kansas City and in the Pillsbury game. A hard runner and a good man on pass defense. Selovec—George worked hard and mastered in a short time the fundamentals of end play. His defensive work was outstanding in every game, and toward the end of the season he became one of the best blockers on the squad. Johnson—Doug played left guard id called the plays. An excellent block-, a fine defensive lineman, and a smart Id general. 99 COACH'S COMMENTS Drill—Fritz was an aggressive left tackle who stopped many plays in the opposing backfield before they got under way. As co-captain of the 1947 team he should be an inspiring leader. Hickok—A good blocker at fullback and an exceptional line-backer. The best tackier on the squad. Dave should make a fine co-captain for the 1947 team. Hale—Charley was a tower of strength in the line, particularly on defense. The opponents gained very little ground over right guard. Raynolds—John played every minute of the De La Salle and Cretin games at left tackle! If illness had not forced him to give up football, he would have become one of Blake’s greatest tackles. 100 COACH'S COMMENTS Reicihead—Jack improved steadily at right halfback. In the Pillsbury game his defensive play and his hard running were of high order. Aurand—Cal s blocking at center and his defensive play at the outside backer-up position were excellent. He should have a good season in 1947. Peppard—Matt was a reliable reserve right guard. His best games were Lake Forest and Pillsbury. Thorpe—Skid played both end and tackle. A fine crashing end. a good blocker, and one of the hardest tacklers on the team. 101 COACH'S COMMENTS Krogness—Charlie was the fastest player on the squad. His sweep around left end set up the first touchdown in the Lake Forest game. He played left halfback. ttrown—Randy was a reliable reserve at center and quarterback. Holmgren—Drip was a good blocker. T he experience gained this year as a reserve fullback should make him a valuable player next fall. Hartwell—The best defensive and offensive halfback on the squad. John was sorely missed when illness forced him to give up football after the Cretin game. 102 fl COACH'S COMMENTS Schmitt—Paul played excellent defensive football at left guard. He was at his best against Lake Forest. St. Paul Academy, and Pillsbury. Thompson—Bob improved steadily throughout the season at right tackle. Next year he should be an outstanding lineman. Rademacher—Dick's experience at left halfback should make him a valuable backfield man for the 1947 team. A fast and shifty player who improved as the season went on. Strieker—George was an excellent manager who took care of the many details efficiently and promptly. 103 Call 0’ Pan Back Row: Coach Galbraith. Rcidkead. R. Brown. R. Schcrcr. C. Krogncss, G.

HOCKEY DESPITE adverse weather conditions and the fact that Captain Johnny Hartwell was unable to gain top form throughout the schedule because of his unfortunate illness contracted in the fall. Blake's veteran-laden hockey team finished the season with a truly commendable record. 'Their mark of nine victories and one tie marked them as the first undefeated team since 1938. Listed among the vanquished were St. Paul Johnson, crowned State Champion in the tournament held this winter. Minneapolis West, the City Champion, and Shattuck. the class of the Private School League. As a fitting tribute to his ability. Johnny Hartwell was voted the Dartmouth Trophy as the most valuable hockey player on the team. The Bears started off in a conspicuous manner by edging Marshall, 3 to 2. on the home ice. Hartwell’s two goals led the scoring. Next came Johnson of St. Paul, a highly-touted team which had a wealth of returning material from the year before, when it reached the semi-finals of the State Tournament. Blake jumped to an early lead in the first stanza as Holcombe popped two goals on assists from Hartwell in the space of about twenty seconds. Doug Johnson then notched his only counter of the season to give Blake a 3 to 0 advantage at the end of the initial period. After two more sessions of even play, the Hilltoppers left the rink with a 4 to 1 decision under their belts. Adams scoring the final goal. m yiia ot Spotty Capt. Hartwell West was the next opponent, and they succumbed in a rather loosely-played contest. 3 to 2. Harry Adams creased the nets with five seconds to go to give his team its third victory. Playing without the services of their stellar captain, the Bears defeated Southwest in the following game. 1 to 0. After pestering the Indian goalie with countless shots, the home team finally came through, as Jim Howard backhanded one between the netminder's legs in the third period. The next game was played against a fast Cretin outfit in the St. Paul Auditorium. Blake held tenaciously to tradition by playing one of its best games on the Auditorium ice and decisioned the Raiders. 4 to 1. George Selover hit for two goals, while Hyde and Howard each scored one to account for the winners' total. ________________________ S.P.A., always highly regarded by Blake sextets. was the sixth victim to the tune of 4 to 1 in a game played on the Academy ice. The Acads were out-skated all the way. and Charlie Hale was only deprived of his second shutout in the final minutes as Driscoll scored for the losers. Selover again was high point man for the Bruins with two goals. Hartwell and Holcombe slipped in the other two markers. A six-game winning streak was broken by Cretin in the next contest, as the Raiders succeeded in tying the Blake six. 3-3. Hartwell’s absence was again felt, but the Bears almost succeeded in pulling this one out of the fire both in the third and overtime periods as they took 2 to 1 and 3 to 2 leads on Reidhead’s and Holcombe's goals. However. Cretin was not to be denied, and they deadlocked the count each time to gain a well-earned tie. T he Sack boys starred for the Raiders in this only blemish on Blake’s undefeated slate. The following Saturday the Bears journeyed down to Faribault to meet a highly regarded Shattuck team and returned home victors by a 5 to 0 count. The rout began when “Selves hit the corner late in the first period for a 1 to 0 lead. MacMillan, Hartwell. and Holcombe finished out the scoring in one of the most convincing victories gained all season, the High-Scorer Holcombe 105 Call 0 ’ Pan former with two goals. George Selover was injured in this game and was forced to withdraw from the lineup for the remaining two games, thus ruining his chances for being high scorer. A mediocre St. Thomas six became Blake's eighth victim in the Arena a week later, losing by a 4 to 1 score. The final count might have been much higher if it weren't for the opposing goalie's excellence, for he was fairly picking pucks out of his teeth all afternoon. Johnny Hartwell's two goals gave him scoring honors for the day. although Adams gained a momentary top position in the season's scoring, notching a goal and an assist. The final game of the year, played at the Arena on February 21, was a fitting climax to a fine year. St. Paul Academy, having lost only three games all season, was out for revenge in this return tussle, and many believed Blake's undefeated season was in jeopardy. But the Hilltoppers rose to new heights and played some of the best hockey they displayed all year in defeating their downriver rivals. 7 to 0. Although the St. Paul forwards were driving hard all the game, the outcome was never in doubt after Adams' first goal with two minutes gone. From then on the superior team play of the wearers of the Brown and White baffled the Acads: and with Dwight Holcombe leading the way with a total of three goals and two as-Adam� Score Against sists. they compiled the amazing aggregate of St. Paul Academy seven points. Whit MacMillan. Harry Adams, and Dwight Hyde were other contributors tothe winning margin. Much of the success of the 1947 team must go to Perk Galbraith, who in four years of coaching at Blake has lost but eight games out of some fifty contests. Holcombe led the year's scoring with fifteen points, followed by Adams with thirteen and Hartwell and MacMillan with eleven each. Fifteen players received letters at the annual banquet, all of whom saw considerable service throughout the season, as Perk was able to use three lines almost regularly because of their comparative merits. Since eleven of these lettermen graduated this spring. Captain Adams and his mates will have to start from scratch next year. But with Galbraith at the helm they should develop into a winner in no time. SEASON'S RECORD Blake. 3 Marshall. 2 Blake. 4 S. P.

BASEBALL WHEN the somber April skies finally cleared and put an end to two weeks of rain, snow, and frigid temperatures, a baseball squad which included eleven let-termen ventured forth from the field house to do its spring capers before Coaches Wonson and Edie. After the unusually large group of aspirants had been cut to a working unit. “Chief fielded an almost entirely veteran team which included the following: Sophomore Ray Scherer behind the plate, Co-Captain Doug Johnson on the mound. Co-Captain George Selover at first. Jim Howard covering the keystone sack. Wayne Linman at short, Johnny Hartwell at the hot corner, and Hub Melin, Hop Holcombe, and Dave Hickok patrolling the outer gardens, left to right. For relief on the hill Dwight Hyde. Roger Wells, and Selover were on hand to round out one of the best potential pitching staffs seen at Blake in some time. With such a roster the future looked rosy for the Bears for they were fairly strong at every position and were better balanced than in previous years. The Hilltoppers more than lived up to advance expectations in their first contest when they turned back Cretin. 4 to 1, behind the one-hit pitching of “Swede” Johnson. The victory was unique in that this was the first Blake team to vanquish a Cretin nine. Jumping to an early one-run lead, the Bears added to it as the game wore on. while Johnson, although hindered by a slight case of wildness, was mowing down the opposing batters. It was not until the seventh and last inning that, with two down. Johnson saw his no-hitter vanish on a line drive single into centerfield. Up till then he had been in complete control of the 107 Call 0 ’ Pan -------------------------------------- situation and had received good support from his teammates, who made but one error. The visitors’ lone run was scored on a fly ball in the fifth inning. Encountering another power in the Catholic League in St. Thomas. Blake managed to eke out an 8 to 7 victory at Fort Snelling. rushing across five runs in the last three innings to salt the game away. Selover toed the slab for the first three stanzas. but had to give way to Johnson in the fourth because of lack of work. The Bears proceeded to ’‘bear” down from that point and came from a 7 to 3 deficit to an 8 to 7 advantage. The winners pounded out nine hits, including doubles by Unman and Melin, as the deciding run was made by Holcombe on Johnson's line single to right. On Alumni Day Wonson's Wonders” gave a facile display of baseball to the large crowd which turned out for the Blake-St. Paul Academy game, winning 3 to 1. Johnson turned in a three-hitter for his third straight triumph, and was backed up in stellar fashion. The Bears only managed to connect for three safe blows themselves. but capitalized on the opportunities offered them to amass the winning margin. Scherer had a big day for himself, larruping a single and scoring two runs. At the end of this game great things seemed to be in store for the Brown and White, but the next contest brought definite notes of pessimism into most fans' hearts. Concordia came to Blake the following Monday and. after the dust had cleared from seven innings of 'the comedy of errors.” returned home the winner by a 7 to 5 count. From Blake's viewpoint the game was not very gratifying, for the ignominious total of nine miscucs was amassed by the unsure Bears. Dwight Hyde made his initial appearance on the mound and was the victim of a definite off-day on the part of his fielders. His hurling was deserving of a much lower score, as he was touched for only three hits. The Hilltoppers almost succeeded in pulling this one out of the fire, though, by bunching three runs on three hits and an error in the seventh inning. Pinchhitters Thorpe and Johnson both connected for doubles in this frame. The visiting Shattuck team next nosed out the inopportunist Bears for their second straight loss, 6 to 4. Doug Johnson saw three unearned runs charged against him in the first inning when, after an error and two walks, a fluke double plated all three markers to give the Shads an early margin. Linman’s double gave Blake a lone run in its half, and in the third the Bruins pulled one run closer by dint of singles by Melin and Johnson. But the Cards put the game on ice in the fourth canto when Fite connected for a homer with two mates aboard. From then on. despite the fact the Bears outhit their opponents, eight to five, including a booming triple by Jimmy Howard in the fifth inning, the game was never in doubt. A jinx seemed to be bothering the home team in this contest, as they had a hard time bunching their hits and all too often saw well-tagged line drives sail right into a motionless fielder’s hands. Johnson whiffed eleven men while bowing in Co-Capt. Johnson defeat. __________________ Co-Capt. Sclovar 108 Ala jot Spotty Tangling in the sixth game of the season with a hard-hitting Watertown nine. Blake snapped out of its slump and once more assumed its winning ways. Although rather impotent with the hickory, the Bears managed to edge their opponents. 5 to 4. by tight defensive play and heads-up ball. Rightfielder Skid Thorpe, along with connecting for two bingles. made the final putout with the bases populated in the seventh. Johnson won his fourth victory, giving up seven blows, while his new batterymate. Dave Hickok, continued his fine work behind the plate, nipping one wishful thinker at second with a perfect throw. Three days later Swede” again took the mound, and. although he was forced to retire because of a sore arm after three innings, in which he gave up but three hits and a run and whiffed four, he was judged the victor in a nerve-racking game which ended: Blake. 7: Southwest. 6. Selover was wild in relief, and almost tossed the ball game away in the seventh by walking four and hitting one. However, he granted only two hits in his four-inning stint. At the same time Selves was the batting star, as he drove in three runs with a triple and a single. The clinching runs were made in the sixth when Hartwell stole home and Howard followed with a home run. The Bears continued their good fielding by making only one boot all afternoon. As we go to press, four games remain on the baseball schedule. With the continued tight defensive play and a little better hitting the Hilltoppers could sweep these games and finish with an excellent record. But even if they lose a couple, as is more probable. Chief s proteges have on the whole played good baseball and will be able to look back on a successful season.

Although the record of one victory, two ties, and one defeat is anything but miraculous, it is important to note that Blake garnered a total of ten more points than their opponents. In the first game of the year Blake tied a rugged Hopkins team, 6 to 6. Doug Dalgleish streaked fifty yards through a broken field for the Blake touchdown, as Larson’s attempt for the extra point was stopped short on the one-inch line. On the following week the J. V.'s encountered their traditional rivals. St. Paul Academy. The team, hindered by an injury to Hank Norton, star halfback, was only able to come through with a scoreless tie. even though they clearly outplayed their downriver rivals. Blake suffered its one and only defeat to St. Louis Park in the third game of the season. The game was a hardfought battle with neither team being able to gain much ground, but as usual “lady luck just wasn’t with the Blakers. Late in the fourth quarter the Parkers received a lucky break when a Blake pass from center went awry and fell over the goal line for an automatic safety. Thus St. Louis Park won the game. 2 to 0. Some days later in the final game of the season the J. V. came into its own by soundly thumping St. Thomas. 1 2 to 0. In this game Hank Norton was the “big gun” for Blake as he scored the first touchdown and helped pave the way for the second. This year’s J. V. hockey team played more games than ever before. Although they won only two games, they showed great improvement, grooming such stars as Bruzek, Leslie. Holmgren. Aurand, Loufek, and Crawford for next year’s varsity. • 113 Call O’ Pan Back row: Coach Hartman. Hymcs, Dalglcish. 1.arson. Thrasher. T. Brown. Schmitt. Hommeycr.

Krogness Absent: MacMillan SWIMMING THIS winter Johnny Hartman s mermen had one of the most successful swimming seasons in Blake history. Winning fourteen straight meets without a defeat all season against some of the top teams in the state is a feat any team would be proud of. This year’s team also won the coveted Y.M.C.A. Twin City High School Championship for the second year in a row. scoring thirty-nine points compared to the second place Twin City Public School Champions. Southwest, with nineteen. This record is a tribute in itself to Johnny Hartman's fine job of coaching, and enough credit cannot be given this coach of coaches for the excellent work he has done this year and in years past in developing championship Blake tank teams. Captain Chuck Kelly, described by Hartman as the best captain he’s ever had. deserves much praise for his diligence and leadership. The mermen started off the season by downing Cretin. Edison. Roosevelt, and Henry in quick succession. They hit an early peak as they downed the Shattuck tankmen by the decisive score of 41 to 25. This was the first time since 1943 that the mermen had defeated a Cardinal swimming club. Throughout the entire meet Blake showed the spirit and will-to-win that finally paid off in fourteen straight conquests. In this meet Blake's medley of Wasie. Dayton, and Hickok tied the school record of 1:48.8. and Kelly’s time of : 1 9.8 in the 40 and Dayton's time of :57.6 in the 100 freestyle were the best times recorded in the Twin Cities in these events since the days of Mark Hcffelfinger. Other first place winners were Whit MacMillan in the breaststroke, Dave Hickok in the 220. Kleggie Larson in the diving, and the relay of Krogness, Hommeycr, MacMillan, and Kelly. 114 Minor Sport£ This overwhelming win in one of the most exciting and satisfying meets of the season gave the mermen a new lust for victory that carried them through to the end of the season. Next the Blakcsters met and defeated West and Winona by scores of 48 to 27 and 38 to 28. respectively. The Winona duel was by far the most thrilling of all the meets, and it was the closest this Blake team ever came to defeat. Speedster Kelly started off with a first in the 40. and MacMillan followed with another harrowing victory in the breaststroke. Wasie placed second in the backstroke, and Dayton turned in another winning performance in the 100. as MacMillan placed a fast second. Larson came through with a second in diving, followed by victories by botn relay teams. From there the tankers went on to defeat such formidable teams as St. Thomas. Cretin. Central, and __________________ South by large margins. They then came to the most crucial meet of the season, against Marshall High School of Minneapolis. With a string of twelve wins behind them, the mermen realized they could finish unbeaten if they could only dunk the last two teams they faced. However, they had to face one of these teams. Marshall, without the services of their star hockey-playing swimmer. Whit MacMillan, who was doing battle with S.P.A. at the Arena that day. The tankers not only met Marshall that day. but they defeated them by the score of 43 to 32. After Kelly had turned in his usual first. Dayton won his favorite event, the 100 breast, handily. Wasie and Beard placed first and second in the backstroke, and Dayton and Larson achieved seconds in the 100 free and the diving, respectively. The meet was then salted away by the winning performances of both relays. The Twin City Champion Southwest team was the final Blake victim, by the ignominious score of 51 to 24. In this victory Captain Kelly. George Day-ton. and Whit MacMillan, the three star performers of the team, bowed out of dual meet competition in a blaze of glory. Later in the season these three helped Blake to second place in the St. Thomas Invitational and the Minnesota AAU meets and a first in the aforementioned “Y” meet. Top individual performances of the year belong to Chuck Kelly, undefeated throughout the regular schedule and recipient of the Guy Thomas Swimming Trophy. George Dayton, ace breaststroker and freestyler and winner of the Arthur Swimming Trophy, and the medley relay team of Wasie. Dayton, and Kelly, which slashed the school record over the 180 yard distance to a swift 1 :45.6. Kelly’s one hundred and thirty-two points led the scoring, followed by Dayton and Hickok with ninety and seventy-eight, respectively. SEASONS RECORD Blake. 42 Cretin, 33 Blake, 44. . . .

For such a new sport the team posted an impressive record of eight wins and six losses. Skid Thorpe was elected captain as a token of his popularity and aggressive play throughout the season. Much credit must be given to Coach Lundholm for his persevering efforts in rounding out this well-balanced quintet, and Jack Edie also deserves commendation for his much needed help. Blake started out in fine style with five straight victories over some local teams. Their first game was against Robbinsdale’s second team. Hank Norton started on his high-scoring ways with fifteen points. Blake employed its undaunted fast break with a light defense that held the Robbins to two free throws in the first quarter. The hoopsters then traveled out to Mohawk territory to play Mound and came out on the top end of a 34 to 29 score. The game was a sec-saw affair right up to the waning moments when Norton popped two baskets to put the game on ice. The next venture for Blake’s flashy quint was a smashing victory over the Deephavcn B” five. Norton scored the phenomenal total of twenty-eight points. The following contest was in the form of a scrimmage against Wayzata. The Blake squad started out with a terrific lead of 44 to 15 against the Trojan regulars. Then Mr. Lundholm took out his first team in place of his substitutes. This move proved catastrophic, as they were barely able to eke out a 60 to 59 win. St. Louis Park's B'‘ squad was then beaten, 37 to 22, in a game in which Blake’s early lead was never threatened. 116 _Minor Spotty The basketball team lost its first game, 51 to 32, to Concordia on the Macalester College floor in a preliminary game. The floor was ninety-six feet long in comparison with the fifty-foot floor Blake was used to, thus slowing the Bears’ fast break to a standstill and necessitating a set offense. This offense was successful for the first half, as the score was tied at 21 -all. The Comets then caught fire, and Blake was never in the game after the jump ball starting the second half. One of the hardest games of the season to lose was the 44 to 43 loss to Southwest’s second five. Led by Norton and Holcombe at the forwards. Blake built up a thirteen point lead by the end of the third quarter. Trying desperately to hold this lead, the Blakesters started guarding too closely with the result that Cap-ain Thorpe was ejected on fouls. This unfortunate break made the difference as the Southwest seconds got hot from far out to eke out a one-point victory. Roosevelt’s second five succumbed shortly afterwards. 40 to 31. The nadir of Blake's season came in the games with the West and Excelsior ‘’B'' squads. The Hilltoppers were unable to do anything against these opponents. whereas the latter seemed unbeatable in whatever they did. The games ended in 49 to 24 and 32 to 27 losses. The two victories over St. Paul Academy were something unique for a Blake basketball team, because this was the first time the Brown and White had defeated S.P.A. in a long time. Both games were won by big margins with the outcomes never in doubt. Norton was high scorer in both contests, the second of which was played in the West High gymnasium. Although defeated by both Minnehaha Academy and Shattuck, the Bears played two of their best games of the season in these contests. Against Minnehaha Blake held a lead throughout the whole game only to see their 31 to 29 advantage vanish at the end. becoming 37 to 31 against them. The game with Shattuck was proof that Blake basketball can meet the test of tough competition. When Norton fouled out in the third quarter. Blake saw its 24 to 21 lead change to a 45 to 37 deficit, still a worthy showing against the polished Shads. Outstanding all season was Hank Norton. Blake’s high-scoring forward, along with Buck Linman, diminutive guard. Holcombe and Hyde also aided the cause tremendously by helping Lundy's squad on off-days from hockey. With a wooden floor finally becoming a reality here, the future looks rosy for Blake basketball. Captain Thorpe SEASON’S RECORD Blake, 32 . Robbinsdale B.” 19 Blake. 24. .

TENNIS ACCORDING to pre-season dope, the Blake tennis team was destined to complete another undefeated year. Now it appears that the prognosticators may have been right, for to date the netmen have won eight straight. The team, consisting of five veterans from last year and two newcomers, has extended the record of twenty-seven straight wins, comprised since the middle of the 1944 season, to thirty-five. The Blakesters commenced the defense of their victory string successfully on April 25 when they defeated Minneapolis Central, 4 to 1. Captain Bill Taylor absorbed the only loss. On the twenty-ninth the string of wins was again extended, this time at the expense of Minnehaha Academy, which bowed to the tune of 5 to 0. None of the five matches consisted of more than two sets. The next day the tennis team conquered one of their chief blockades on the road to an unbeaten season by toppling Southwest, 4 to 1. The doubles combination of Norton and Adams bowed in three gruelling sets, while all other matches were won with little difficulty. To celebrate Alumni Day, May 2. the netmen won their thirty-first match in a row by blanking their arch rivals from across the river. S. P. A., 5 to 0. The singles players won their matches without losing a game. However, the doubles combinations ran into a little more trouble as the first doubles lost three games and the second doubles played two long sets. On May 5 the team had a breather as they downed Concordia, 6 to 0. Hank Norton did what is almost impossible by winning twenty-four straight points from his opponent. In short, he won one set without losing a point. Out 118 -Minor Sporti of seventy-five games played, only three were lost. Southwest was again beaten on May 1, this time by the decisive score of 5 to 0. Then the Hilltop-pers hit a snag. With powerful John Raynolds out of the lineup due to illness, the doubles combinations were shuffled around, and subsequently both were defeated in straight sets in the match against University High. However, the singles players carried the load, winning easily. The next day once-beaten Concordia again bowed, and the victory string was extended to thirty-five without a loss. Those playing singles in most matches this year have been Hank Norton, number one singles: Captain Bill Taylor, number two. and Harry Adams, number three. With only four matches remaining. Norton and Adams have yet to be defeated in singles competition, although they bowed once together when they doubled up to form the number one doubles combo against Southwest. Taylor has been downed once, losing at Central in straight sets. Veterans John Raynolds and Whit MacMillan form the usual number one doubles unit, and newcomers Randy Brown and Chuck Kelly form the usual second doubles. Neither combination has lost a match as yet, although Brown and Kelly seem always to win the hard way. The versatility of Cleve’s stellar racqueteers has been shown to advantage this year, as the various combinations have been shifted somewhat in some matches and the remarkable winning streak has been continued in just as fine style. Mr. Cleveland, showered with excellent material for three years in a row. has done a commendable job using this material to the best advantage. Capt. Taylor The outlook for the '48 season, however, does not look too bright, as five of the seven members of the squad are graduating. That means only Norton and Adams are returning. Since there seems to be a dearth of good players coming up from the lower forms. Coach Cleveland will have to work hard to produce a tennis team similar to the ones he has had in the past. Since only four matches remain, one with North, one with once-beaten S. P. A., another with the Carleton freshmen, and the fourth with St. Thomas, it seems that this season can only be an undefeated one if Carleton can be vanquished. Of course, with the large number of players there, this task will be a hard one: but. as the CALL O’PAN goes to press, the net men look strong enough to do it.

Coach Glenn. GOLF HAMPERED by a scarcity of seasoned veterans, the 1947 golf team can hardly be expected to duplicate the excellent record of the team of the previous year. With only one holdover from the big four of '46 in Dick Pogue, Coach Glenn has nevertheless managed to develop a potent, well-balanced aggregation. Comprising this year's team are Captain Pogue, John Berchielli. Tom Colwell. Kleggie Larson, and Pete Card. Card and Berchielli are newcomers to the golf squad, this being the first year at Blake for both boys. John Heegaard ably manages the affairs of the team. Blake started off the season in fine style with two wins. University High bowed to the tune of 5 to 4 in a three-man match. Wayzata was then overwhelmed 1 1J4 to J4 in the next match by a far superior Blake combination. Shattuck boasted a team of champions, and rightly so. for the home team was the loser by two points in a match which was not decided in any case until the completion of the full round. A powerful West High team was held to a 6 to 6 tie in another hard-fought conflict which was decided on the eighteenth green. Next, University High played host in a return match and won by a scant margin of one point. With half the season behind, the Blake golf team is batting a respectable .500, with two wins, two losses, and one tie. Dick Pogue, par-busting leader of the linksters. has been unbeatable all year, once shooting an excellent 78 on Minnekahda's tough course and generally in the very low eighties. There should be plenty of time to add a few more victories to the banner, despite the disadvantage of inexperience. 120 _Minor Sporti BROWNS AND WHITES ALTHOUGH as wc go to press the Whites are leading the Browns by a scant margin in the various athletic events, the outcome still hangs in the balance, probably to be determined by the Field Day track events. For the third straight year the two teams have been so evenly matched that the lead has changed hands several times, the Whites finally breaking into their present advantage by dominating the basketball and swimming contests, though losing their first boxing tournament. Starting off the year in fine style, the Browns jumped to an early lead by winning two. tying one. and dropping only one of the four fall football games. Their margin would have been greater still had it not been for a thrilling upset in the last minutes on the varsity gridiron, as the Whites eked out a 13 to 6 victory. The Browns' lead was narrowed a bit by the physical fitness results, but it was not until the swimming meets in the winter that this advantage vanished completely. The Whites’ strong relay team in the Middle School succeeded in pulling this contest out of the fire by the meager margin of one point. 20 to 19. The Upper School Whites had an easier time of it. winning 25 to 14. to place their team on top by only a few points. The Whites gained slightly again by winning and tying one in the two Middle School hockey games. Then came that ill-fated varsity hockey game. The Whites, leading 5 to 0 by dint of Howard’s hat trick, saw the Browns rally for four markers in the final session to upset the pre-game dope. The Whites increased their lead again, however. by splitting the four basketball games, listing among their victories the varsity contest, which is ten points more important than the other games. The Browns roared back by winning the fifth annual Blake boxing tournament hands down, 80 to 40. Brown winners included George Hewitt, Pete Card, Dwight Hyde. Larry Boies, and Mac Wetherby. while Bob Wciser and Matt Peppard were the White winners. Johnny Tillman took over the coaching job vacated by Percy Villa last year and did a commendable job. With the race for the Pflaum Cup as close as it is now the winner of the spring contests—baseball, tennis, golf, and track—will probably win the coveted trophy. Captains Doug Johnson of the Whites and Dwight Hyde of the Browns are priming their men for Field Day now; each has done a good job of leading his followers, as can be seen. 121 yiiinot Spoxti A TEAM PRAISE should be given to Coach Butler s “A football team, for they won all their games except a heartbreaker to a tough Scorpion team. The team defeated Hopkins. St. Phillips, Excelsior, Edina, and S. P. A. The first S. P. A. game was highlighted by Boos’ sixty-yard kick, which rolled dead on the two-foot line. Netting a lot of yardage for themselves and for the team were halfbacks Boos. Crosby, Jones, and a speedy newcomer. Louie Harris. The line had its standouts too, as Skoglund and Winston pulled down their share of passes at end. while Drill, Schmid, Klass, and Cohen leveled onrushing opponents. In hockey, during the winter months. Boos. Crosby. Clark (from the J. V.) Larson. Drill, and Scherer played well as the Middle School team defeated S. P. A.. Hopkins, and St Louis Park. The lineup was as follows: goalie Larson: defense Clark, Drill: wings Crosby, Boos: center Jones. B TEAM THE B” team was the only coefficient to finish its football season undefeated, and they well deserved it, too. Under their coach, Mr. Pollock, they fought hard to beat such teams as Hopkins. S.P.A., and for the first time this year, St. Phillips and Bryn Mawr. Boies L., Strieker, Barry, and Scherer carried the ball well for the “B’s,” while Boies D., Larson. Barry W.. and Nash opened big holes in the line. For their winter sports Scherer and Ringland joined forces with the “A” team to round out the Middle School Hockey team, and Hommeyer. Strudwig, Carpenter, and Nash played basketball. Both of these teams had good seasons, with the hockey team winning all their games and the basketball team losing only one. “C TEAM THE “C” footballers had a more than successful season under the coaching of Jim Demos, as they won all their games but one. Their first game was the only loss, as Hopkins had more speed. The traditional rivals in St. Paul fell to the hard fighting “C in both games. Likewise such teams as the Scorpions. Musketeers and Kenwood also fell by wide margins. Throughout the season such boys as Jim Sandison, Ringland. and McCarthy played spectacularly in the back-field, while Heffelfinger and Schmitt were standouts in the line. In hockey this winter the “C’s also had a few games but came out on the short end of most scores. There were also inter-squad basketball teams which played for the championship. 123 J otvex School Back Row: Miss Hauser. Mr. Bethel. Mrs. Winters. Miss Nygaard. Mr. Close, Miss Dewey.

This mark is by far the largest in the school’s history, and shows how rapidly this integral part of Blake has grown since its invasion of the country, abandoning the small schoolhouse on Colfax Avenue. Throughout the past few years Mr. Zappe's wise and efficient administration and his adaptability to the problems of the younger boys have been determining factors in the rising success of this hitherto insignificant educational institution. Helping to swell the enrollment of the Lower School this year was a very important alteration in the educational setup. T'he sixth grade, normally gaining entrance into the big school on the hill at this stage of the game, found room in the Lower School this year because of the remodeling and abolition of the boarding element in the West House. This change brought about an even balance of six grades in each department of Blake and lessened the tendency of the Upper School to be overly crowded. The sixth grade athletes, however, retained the right to play on the coefficient teams and continued to go home on the late bus instead of the special four o'clock Lower School transport. This new arrangement met with much success in each part of Blake and will serve to better the school in the future. Highlights of the school year included many activities, among which the annual Christmas Play took a superior position. This performance was a masterpiece of pantomine and carol singing and was regarded by many as comparable in finesse to the Christmas Play given by the younger boys in the Upper School. All who were spectators agreed that it was a remarkable play considering the youth of the participants. Another highlight of the year was the Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet, as it always is. Although, owing to a mischievous flu bug which had descended upon a large number of boys, the dinner did not assume overflowing proportions, it was a definite success to all those who were fortunate enough to avoid Mr. Influenza” and thus were able to attend. The usual humorous antics and delicious victuals were served up in great quantities, and all comers went home well-filled with both fun and food. As we meander on toward printing time, arrangements are being made for the big school picnic in May. an occurrence every Lower Blake boy eyes with interest. This activity includes a chance for each boy to show up “the old man” in the sports field, as softball games are a definite part of the picnic program. In many of the activities which have taken place this year the Lower School Mothers' Association, under Mrs. Campbell, has had the responsibility of arranging the various details, and thus deserves much credit for its diligence and interest. All in all. this has been the most successful and gratifying year the Lower, or Junior, School has ever had. 129 Call 0’ Pan ATHLETICS ATHLETICS on the lower level this year turned out to be the most popular and successful they have been since the present Lower School was organized. Many sports were represented in the recreational curriculum, including for the first time swimming. The latter was done in the King Co!c Hotel pool and proved to be a source of much enjoyment for many boys. In the fall, football attracted a large number of Lower School boys, both to the B and C teams and to the grade teams. Of the latter the fifth grade eleven was the most active, playing three games with St. Joseph. Harley Hopkins. and the Scorpions. Herbie Clark. George Hudson, and Henry Pillsbury were standouts on this team. The fourth graders also fielded a gridiron machine which spoke well for future varsity elevens. Hockey and basketball joined swimming on the winter sports schedule. The Musketeers and the Scorpions furnished opposition for the fourth and fifth grade pucksters. and usually came out on the short end of the frequently high scores. Herbie Clark, Julian McCaull. Gordy Jensen, and Charlie Silverson, along with several others, showed possibilities of developing into first-rate hockey players. Many older boys played hockey on the C team. Outstanding in the many intramural basketball games were Bill Dietz, Jim Sandison. and Joe Ritchie. As spring rolls around and we go to press, it appears that a well-rounded baseball schedule has been set up which involves all ballplayers from the fourth grade up. Jim Demos, Athletic Director of the Lower School, has done a fine job in teaching the boys the fundamentals and merits a great deal of praise. 130 ENROLLMENT 1946-47 William .Marty Boies Jonathan Wentworth Brown Benton Janney Case, Jr. John Crosby II David Nathaniel Deinard William Edward Dietz II William Harold Ford, Jr. Christopher Beistle Heffelfinger John Finley Jenkins John Robert Lampe Philip Parker Larson Samuel Shackelford Marfield Cedric Adams, Jr. Douglas Stewart Andersen Edward A teas James Foster Atwood William Theodore Boutell, Jr. James Howard Burnett James Lachlan Campbell Avery Earl Chope Herbert John Clark George Douglas Cleveland Russell Cowles Edwin Lane Crosby George Christian Crosby.
