SeniorA MR. PHILLIPS WHEN Mr. Paul K. 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

CLASS HISTORY HAD it not been for Star Athlete Whitney MacMillan, the Class of 1947 might never have gotten its start. 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
