He has always acted in the best interests of the class to solve the many problems which have confronted it. The welfare and standing of the class of 1948 has received his undivided attention, and it is for this attention as well as for his patience in meeting its tribulations that we w i s h to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to him. CLASS HISTORY The class of 1948 had its beginnings back in September of 1936 when Kingsley Murphy and Bill Horn undertook their lessons as first grade students under the watchful tutelage of Miss MacDonald. As the oldest members of their class, King and Bill are able to fill the other members with interesting tales of the good old days,.pointing out that they have been here longer than most of the faculty. King has been the class authority on Communism and history while Bill has filled in with Dick Bruzek as jazz advisor. The following year Wilfred Frank cancelled out of a Hollywood contract as a child prodigy and joined the class. During his stay at Blake, Bill has been the sole authority on the moving picture industry, having addressed the school on that subject many times during later years. His famous delivery of “Seridan’s Ride” in the fifth grade is a constant source of enjoyable reminiscence for the old-timers. No lasting additions were made to the class until in the fifth grade Michael Bosanko and Don Wasie entered the Blake Junior Department, which had just been moved from Colfax Avenue in town to Hopkins. Mike displayed his speaking abilities in that year by winning the coveted Fifth Grade Declamation contest. Since their entrance into high school, he and Don have gone to work for the swimming team as manager and ace backstroker respectively. In 1941 the class of 48 received a great contribution in members, for Bruce Atwater. Tim Brown, Archie Beard. Dick Bruzek. Jim Leslie, Matt Loufek, and Bob Webb joined the group for their first year on the hilltop. Under the tutelage of Mr. Watson these “tools” were given their first taste of Blake English and were generally drilled into the nucleus of the present class. Two more additions were made when Bill Gamble and Jim Slocum entered the school in the seventh grade. By this time our class had grown to twenty-seven boys. The following year Bruce Cameron, who turned out to be a definite asset to Blake’s debating team and Dramatic Association ; Fritz Drill, noted autobiographical sketch writer and athlete; and Roger Wells, stellar pitcher, entered the class. Some mention should also be given to Phil Ryan, who entered the class during this year and withdrew in 1947. 18 In the ninth grade the class neared completion with the entrance of twelve new students. These were: Harry Adams, Cal Aurand, Tom Colwell, Doug Dal-gleish, Tom Helmick, Bob Holmgren, Clarence Larson, Dick Hutchinson, Buck Linnian, Don Moyer, Henry Norton and Marsh Thomson. It was from this group that our class enrolled a valedictorian, two council members, and various athletes. During the next two years the class of 1948 had only four additions. Doug Freeman and Jim Wittenberg joined in 1945, and Kingsley’s cousin, Joe Murphy, and Gian Luigi Berchielli entered in the following year. Gian has been invaluable as an authority on Italian affairs, having lived in Italy as a citizen until 1946. The senior year saw two final additions when Ted Allen, an all-round athlete from Washburn, and Howard McMillan enrolled at the Alma Mater. Now that we have related the growth of our class, something should l c said about the members' accomplishments at Senior Blake. Bill Horn won the Middle School Wilson Cup contest twice. Prizes for the Tenth Grade Declamation contest, chajx-l speeches, debating, and the Thorpe Extemporaneous Shaking contest were awarded to Bruce Cameron. Gian Berchielli’s satirical essay on war won for him the Williams Theme contest. Tom Helmick. Dick Hutchinson, Matt Loufek, Boh Webb, Bruce Cameron, Jim Leslie, and Archie Beard turned in averages which qualified them for Cum Laude. Such for the members of the class of 1948. Now for a short resume of our contributions. In the field of extra-curricular activities, on the athletic fields, and in the classrooms our class has tried to be a worthy example and has, we hope, succeeded. Our average scholastically has risen during the years to a new high in 1948. Our teams have turned in some of the most successful seasons on record. In extra-curricular activities we have been exceptional. However, we realize with sincere regret that in the field of citizenship and general behavior we have not been all that we should or could have been. Although we will soon scatter throughout the country to the college of our choice, we will always remember and cherish the thoughts of our happy years at Blake. In closing we would like to express our humble and sincere thanks to Mr. Vaughan, our advisor for the four high school years; to Mr. Alder and Mr. Clapp, to the faculty, the trustees, and staff for the unquestionable help, guidance, and consideration that they have given us in our way through Blake.

Entered Blake in 1944 “Harry,” “Snake” Minnesota w “Most glorious night thou wert not sent for slumber”—Byron “SMOOTH is the word for this character whose face smiles at you from above. Smooth in dress, smooth with the girls, smooth in athletics, Harry has made quite a record for himself on the hilltop. A member of the Union for two years, the Deephaven Kid has handled himself capably when called on for an extemporaneous speech. However, it is in the field of athletics where Harry really excels. Besides being captain and high scorer of the hockey team, he was awarded the Dartmouth Cup for being most valuable. Plagued with injuries of one sort or another for the past two years, Harry still managed to gain a football letter by playing left-half. He has won letters for the last four years and is half of the famous Adams-Norton doubles tennis team. Blake cross country ski champ in his freshman year, he also was a diver of sorts on Hartmann’s puddle jumpers in his freshman year. He hs « collected the grand total ot eight letters for Blake—quite an accomplishment. Known far and wide in the social circles, our maroon dressed hero can be seen either heating his opponents at gin rummy or chasing madly after some fair damsel—preferably brunette—in his green Dodge. Harry’s smooth “I gotta go and see the Doc, Sir” has been the source of many free afternoons much to the disgust and envy of his less successful comrades, who have no football injuries to produce. Blake is losing an athlete and the class is losing a good fellow when Harry leaves for college. Harry, how can anybody be so smooth? ★ ★ ★ ★ 20 THEODORE SAUNDERS ALLEN Entered Blake in 1947 “Teddy” Minnesota “We desire nothing so much as what we ought not have”—Publius Syrus TEDDY came to us from Washburn High this year, where he had established an excellent record for himself in scholastics, athletics, and social life. Upon arriving at Blake he was immediately elected to the Union. He played a j art in the Dramatics, distinguishing himself as a great actor. It wasn’t long before the athletic department discovered that he had terrific possibilities in any sport in which he desired to participate. Football Coaches Glenn and Wonson soon found out that he was quite able to fill the shoes of Dwight Hyde at right end. At this position Teddy racked up several touchdowns for the team and became known as “Sticky Fingers Allen.” On the basketball court he had no less success as one of the main sparkplugs of the team. He was second high scorer and was proclaimed by Coach Lundholm as an excellent center. On the baseball diamond his terrific right hand and his unmerciful line drives left members of the opposing teams as well as the spectators gaping in wild-eyed amazement. Socially speaking Teddy was no drawback to the Blake boy’s reputation. He attended every one of the Young People’s Concerts and seemed to enjoy them greatly. His weekends were also filled with color. In fact so colorful were these weekends that it was practically impossible to keep his name out of the “Sound and Fury” column in the TORCH. Xo matter which college he attends next year there is no doubt that the record he makes there will make Blake still more proud of the name of Ted Allen. 21 HORACE BREWSTER ATWATER, JR. Entered Blake in 1941 “Monty, “Bruce Princeton “It is better to hurry always than to be late once. —Hungarian Proverb BRUCE joined the class way hack in the first form and ever since has been one of its leading personalities. A class wit on the subtleties of sarcasm and a fiend at the wheel, Monty has often delighted the class with his brief comments on Blake-Boy-Meets-Girl relationships. In addition to being the sparkplug of the senior class, Bruce has managed to indulge in many other outside activities; small-time cruising, sailboat racing, and moonlight rampages are Monty’s specialties. Bruce is known throughout the school for his mischievous rascality, and, delving deep into his repertoire of scurvy tricks, he has helped to make the senior room the great melting pot that it is. For the last two years Monty has found time to contribute to both Dramatics and Publications, but it was at the TORCH evening meetings one week each month that he wielded his wittiest pen. Many a dull assignment was brilliantly handled by this clever reporter, who also had a hand in composing the gossip column. Although he specializes in hockey and won a letter in that sport at a speedy right wing position, Monty has been playing football and tennis each year, and at the time of this printing it seems quite possible that he may win a place on Cleve’s renowned Tennis team. Besides being interested in extra-curricular activities, Bruce has l een a consistent scholastic leader in the class, and frequently has his name read in chapel on the monthly honor roll. With Monty’s unusually keen sense of humor and his scholastic accomplishments, he cannot help but be a tremendous success at Princeton next fall. After seven long years at Blake, here is a man who will appreciate Princeton to its fullest; may Old Nassau appreciate you to the fullest, Bruce. 22 CALVIN WILLIAM AURAND, JR. Entered Blake in 1944 “Cal,” “Auric” Amherst “Happy am I; from care I’m free Why aren’t they all contented like me?”—La Bayadere CAL emerged from the wilds of Maplewoods in the fall of 1944, and has been a very active member of the class of ’48 ever since. He appeared for two consecutive years as a talented actor in the annual Blake plays, he has been a member of the Union for the last two years, and this fall his election to the class presidency confirmed the popularity which he has had during his four year stay at Blake. Cal also did a very commendable job as president of the Athletic Association during his senior year, and he finds time to l e a better than average student. Athletically Aurie did very well. He earned two letters in football holding down a rugged center position for Coach Glenn, and he earned two emblems playing on the blue line for Perk Galbraith's puckchasers. In the spring of each year he spent his time laboring in the cool shade which the average tennis court offers in the mid-afternoon. Along lighter lines, Aurie acted as the eminent clothes stylist of the class. Almost every member of the senior class has, at some time or other, worn one of his distinctive neckties. On many occasions he made the sacrifice of going to chapel with an open neck so that the demand for his cravats might be satisfied. An ardent believer in good appearance, Aurie has displayed the finest five year old shirts, with or without collars; he has sported pants that would accommodate the total waist measurements of three average seniors; and, at the more important social events, Aurie has even given “style shows” for his feminine companions. Although Cal sometimes seems to attend school only to pass time between weekends, we are sure that this well-rounded personality will meet with much success when he enters “Lord Jeff” next fall. 23 ARCHIBALD HILDRETH BEARD, JR. Entered Blake in 1941 Arch, “Buk Williams Cum Laude “Who would not rather founder in the fight Than not have known the glory of the fray?”—Richard Hovey YOUNG Archibald walked up the hill back in the First Form from Clara Barton grade school to become one of the early members of our class. He lost no time in making his talents known, for in the Third Form he won the Strieker Cup. Since then Archie has offered himself whole-heartedly to extra-curricular and curricular activities. For singing for three years in the Glee Club he received a gold key at the end of this year. He has helped make the Blake plays what they are by three years of work with the Dramatics Club. He has also worked hard in the field of publications on the TORCH and CALL O’PAX in the capacity of School Editor. As a waiter Arch is second to none in speed of delivery. As a reward for his ability he was assigned to wait on the head table this year. In his studies, Archie’s marks leave little to be desired. “Buk was elected to the Union at the end of his Junior year and was made secretary of this organization during the mid-year elections this year. The miraculous accomplishments of this soft-spoken but often cynical hero are not merely indoor. As one of the bone-crushing Glennmen. he drove forward to a letter this year. “Buku’s” real sport, however, is swimming. For three years he has backstroked his way to varsity letters on Johnny Hartmann’s All Stars. Not wishing to stop here, our hero has smashed out a baseball letter with his excellent basecoaching and hitting. Next year will see “Hawchie” studying pre-med at Williams. The class is sure that Archie will get ahead at Williams and perhaps someday will return to practice in Minneapolis. 24 GIAN LUIGI BERCHIELLI Entered Blake in 1946 “Count,” “Luigi” Wesleyan “The lady doth protest too much me thinks.”—Shakespeare PERHAPS the most descriptive term which can he applied to the possessor of the impressive monicker above is “smoothest. as Gian was voted last year by his classmates. Almost immediately on his arrival at Blake last year Gian established himself as the Casanova of the class, and quickly became the steady of many a Minneapolis girl. But aside from this somewhat doubtful achievement, the “Count” has distinguished himself in several fields of endeavor during his comparatively short Blake career. Gian will be long remembered for his part as the window-cleaner in Northrop’s production of “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” during his junior year, for his portrayal of the haughty Count D’Aublaye in our own Dramatics Association’s three-act presentation. “The Duke In Darkness, and as Captain Denny in the Northrop production “Pride and Prejudice,” the latter two both during his senior year. It is generally felt that Luigi’s active social life has hampered his achieving outstanding athletic fame, but nevertheless Gian has been a bulwark of Mr. Glenn’s golf team for both his years at Blake. Gian capped his extra-curricular career with his winning of the Williams Theme Contest this year. “The Humane War.” as his theme was entitled, told the novel and imaginative story of a war fought with sleeping bombs as the only weapons, and of the conflict’s effects on its participants. No evaluation of Gian Berchielli’s character would be complete without an expression of praise for his speedy and complete acclimatization to the American way of life. The many friends he has won at Blake not only attest to his ability to accustom himself to new surroundings but assure him of a successful college career. 25 MICHEAL ARTHUR BOSANKO Entered Blake in 1940 “Mike” “Bosko” Minnesota “Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.”—Anon. MIKE Bosanko is one of the old stalwarts of the class of 1948. Although Mike is apparently a quiet, retiring individual during the school week, he sheds this appearance on weekends a la Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde and becomes a person who amazes his companions with an aversion to tobacco smoke and an unequaled palate for fine food and beverages. Mike has been at Blake since 1940, and through the years he has been indispensable to our class by contributing his humorous epigrams, which are undoubtedly a throwback of his English ancestry. Along with Clarence Larson, Mike is a Blake representative to the “Stassen for President League”. At local political rallies he can be seen heckling members of the opposition party, and his chapel speech on the native son won many confirmed Dewey men to the Stassen fold. Mike has served on Miss Berglund’s waiting staff for two years and was head waiter for the Middle lunch this year. He has taken part in several of the Dramatics Association plays and has sung with the Glee Club. In academic pursuits Mike specializes in languages, having taken three years of French and four years of Latin in high school. However, Mike is best known for his work on the swimming team. For the last two years he has managed the squad. As manager he has faced and taken control of one of the hardest tasks known to man, that of collecting money. His ability to do this job and still remain on friendly terms with the members of the team is a great credit to him. Mike has been an energetic member of Mr. Lund-holm’s touch football and softball squads for several years. However, this spring he deserted the latter for golf. During the winter term he found time out from swimming to fence a bit with the upholders of that waning art. Next year Mike is planning to attend the University of Minnesota. Best of luck, Mike. ★ ★ ★ ★ 26 THOMAS MORROW BROWN Entered Blake in 1941 “Tim. “Jake Carleton “He is a talker and needs no questioning before be speaks —Euripides TIM Brown, who has been at Blake since the First Form, is one Senior who has taken advantage of just about everything Blake has to offer. Tim has taken part in most of the coefficient and J. V. sports since his appearance at the school on the hill. He really came into his own, however, when he joined the swimming team last year. He has received two Varsity letters for holding down the breaststroke position along with Doug Dalgleish. Tim must have been born in the water because everytime he sees it, he begins to bubble. T.B., as he is sometimes called, has taken part in many extra-curricular activities as well. He has been an excellent electrician and stagehand on several of the major Blake and Northrop productions. Tim is a staunch supporter of the Glee Club. At the end of this year he received a Gold Key. having served three years with the organization. 1 f one suddenly hears a loud swish followed by a crash during the fourth period, chances are that it is Brown getting seconds for the lower schoolers at lunch. Since Tim is an up and coming drummer, one may hear him playing his favorites. “Carry Me Back to Yakima Valley and “Shake Me Apple Tree Blues. During the last few years he has played with several bands in the city, having a partnership at one time. Well. Tim. with this backlog of experience you should have very little trouble at Carleton next year. 27 RICHARD FRANCIS BRUZEK Entered Blake in 1941 “Baldy,” “Bru’’ Northwestern “I am never merry when I hear sweet music —Shakespeare THIS renowned figure in the fields of music and athletics made his debut at Blake in the fall of 1941. As a drummer with considerable ability, Dick received national recognition when the band with which he was playing was named the Best Band in the United States. Still Baldy has not restricted himself entirely to beating the skins. He started the senior year out by holding down a regular tackle position on Coach Glenn’s eleven. As the north winds started to blow, Bru exchanged his football cleats for a pair of skates, grasped a hockey stick, and proceeded to become a stalwart defenseman on the hockey team. In the spring Dick’s fancy turned to baseball where he spent many a sunny afternoon sweating it out under Coach Won-son’s all-powerful hand. Aside from the athletic fields. Baldy has contributed much to the Publications staff and the Dramatics Association. He has been a member of the Torch staff for four years, writing a featured column on music called “Platter-Patter. Although Bru was sidetracked occasionally, this column provided reading enjoyment of a different kind to the whole school. The Dramatics Association was aided considerably by Dick’s service as I lead Electrician. Bru was also a member of the Blake Union, and the bi-weekly meetings were never a success unless the “cat was in attendance. As to the future, Dick is looking forward to spending the next four years at Northwestern, and we're sure he will be a credit to his class. Dick’s contributions to Blake were greatly appreciated, and his accomplishments will be long remembered. 28 ALAN BRUCE CAMERON Entered Blake in 1943 Cum Laude “Bruce Princeton “You have not converted a man because you have silenced him. —Morley WHEN’ Bruce entered the class of ’48, few of his classmates realized that they had gained in this Scotsman from Minot. North Dakota, a master of scholarship, oratory, and subtle humor. For in all of these three categories Bruce has excelled since he entered in the fall of 1943, joining the class in what is now the second form. His name has been seen consistently on the First Honor Roll, often at the top of the list. While doing excellently in all subjects, he is unusually good in Math and English; in the latter he has gained some phenomenal grades, especially in his senior year. In addition to his scholastic ability, Bruce is no novice in the field of oratory and acting. He was especially active in the Dramatics Association, to which he has belonged for four years. Bruce has given excellent performances in all types of drama, both Shakespearean and modern. He has also worked steadily on the debating team, taking part in two school debates, in both of which he has tied for the Strieker Cup for Debating. 1 le has also taken part in several speaking contests winning the Thorpe Cup for extemporaneous speaking and second place in the Fifth Form Declamation Contest. Besides adding his voice to both the baritone and the bass sections in the Glee Club. Bruce has been an active member of the Publications. Often he has joined in the monthly meetings at Webb's to write editorials and articles and to add his no small bit of humor to the TORCH by means of the ill-fated Sound and Fury column. Besides all these activities Bruce has managed to put his name on the exclusive list of Senior Steadies and has impressed his classmates with his ability with the opposite sex. With these many evident abilities and with his subtle bits of wit, it is assured that Bruce will be a success at Princeton, where he intends to study pre-med. 29 THOMAS GRAHAM COLWELL Entered Blake in 1944 “Tommy” Carleton “Let thy speech be better than silence or be silent.”—Dionysius BACK in the Third Form this congenial black-headed boy entered our midst from Kenwood. At that point Tom started a very successful high school career. On the athletic field Tom’s talents first emerged in his Sophomore year when his steady playing at the center position earned him a letter on Mr. C'alt’s mighty “A” Team football scpiad. In his Junior year Tom went out for golf and earned a varsity letter. At the end of the season his teammates recognized his ability and leadership by making him captain of this year’s squad. Also Tom made the varsity basketball team this winter, where he was noted for his ability to sink long shots from the side of the court. In the extra-curricular activities field Tom has excelled in dramatics. Last year he took the part of a girl in Booth Tarkington’s “The Trysting Place”. In this humorous play Tom jilted his lover and walked out with another man. 'Ibis year Tom played the difficult part of a messenger boy in “The Lost Elevator”. A chemist of no little ability, Tommy almost accomplished with concentrated nitric acid what every Blake chemist at some time or other attempts to do—that is, to blow up the school; however, after realizing that he would go with the school, he gave up the idea. In his dealings with the opposite sex Tom was faithful to a certain damsel for quite a while. Lately, though, he has been dividing his attentions a little. Next fall Tommy will lend his talents to Carleton, the college of his choice. We know he will be as great a success there as he has been at Blake. ★ ★ ★ ★ 30 DONALD DOUGLAS DALGLEISH Entered Blake in 1944 “Doug Carleton “I am not only witty but I am the cause for wit in other men.”—Shakespeare “AND don’t forget, boys, you must all wear coats and ties.” This is just a phrase from one of Doug’s numerous roof-raising chapel speeches, which has won him the honor of poet laureate of the Senior class. If it is humor you need. Doug has the knack of lifting a group from a state of melancholy to the heights of jollity. Doug joined our ranks in the ninth grade and thus has suffered through only four years of “agony.” Scholastically. D. I). I), has proven himself a very worthy student, especially in his Junior and Senior years. Doug never likes to work hard and in general wishes to take life easy. Most of the time he can he found reclining either on the Senior Room couch or on the table in the Trophy room. However in the field of athletics he has gained a reputation as a tireless worker. He was a substitute right halfback on Coach Glenn’s successful football team. We would like to mention the fact that Doug learned to swim in the irrigation ditches out in Montana. Consequently when he started his swimming career in his Junior year, he had some trouble with a meager 20 yard pool. Doug was one of Johnny Hartmann’s most conscientious swimmers and became very successful in the breaststroke. He was a valuable point-getter and earned two letters. Doug did not engage in extra-curricular activities until this year. He has given his melodious bass voice to the Glee Club, which is one of the best in the history of Blake. Doug plans to enter Carleton next fall, and because of his good humor and amiability we know he will be a great success there. 31 FREDERICK ERNST DRILL Entered Blake in 1943 Fritz,” “I. F.” Carleton “I am not young enough to know everything”—Barrie FRITZ entered Blake back in the third form when the present senior class was just beginning to materialize. His interest and initiative in the affairs of the school won him an election to the Blake Union early in his Junior year. In Freddy’s freshman and junior years he was vice president of his class, while as a senior he took over the thankless job of secretary-treasurer. Also Fritz has been a member of the undaunted Blake Glee Club for three years, and in his sophomore and junior years he took part in the Dramatics Association presentations. And as a waiter in the fifth form he so wowed the “girls in the kitchen that the efficiency of Miss Berg-lutid’s entire staff dropped off. As yet we have not even touched upon Fritz’s activities on the athletic field. Actually that is really where this 190-pound man of muscle comes into his own. Fritz’s career in Blake athletics started in the 10th grade when he won his first team letters in both football and hockey. This story continued through his Senior year, when he was elected co-captain of the football team. To this record he has added one more gleaming star as a razzle-dazzle second sacker on Chief Wonson’s baseball club. As captain of the Whites this year, Fritz punched his way to the heavyweight title and the holder of the Villa Boxing Trophy for 1948. It seems that Carleton will he a suitable place to continue Fritz’s eventful life; and when he becomes a doctor as he plans, he’ll make a good one. Carleton, you’re getting a good man! 32 WILFRED ROBERT FRANK, JR. Entered Blake in 1937 “Bill Minnesota “Like the driving of Jehu, the son Of Mimshi: For he driveth furiously”— 2 Kings MANY a time the center on the opposing team has found himself in his own hack-field. How did he get there? It was with the aid of none other than Blake’s Center Guard, Bill Frank. Bill had not played much football on the J.V.’s in his Junior Year, but he jumped up to the Varsity in his Senior Year. The heaviest member of the team, Bill piled up the center of the line many times. He has been one of the most active Seniors in Dramatics. Besides being in the annual One-Act Plays, he was in Blake’s serious three act play and the Blake-Northrop play. He has also helped out as a stagehand and electrician. Bill is also a member of that white-clad group which is assured of at least fourteen votes for “my favorite Senior. Being the first one finished every day, he still keeps telling his boys that the first ones through get the largest desserts. Bill was also a member of the Glee Club for one year. He has also spent his time on the Tennis Courts and the Golf Greens during the Spring months. This year, however. Bill has become a successful businessman. During the day he may be heard ordering another thousand chickens or a load of feed. His enterprises have been the talk of the class. He is also interested in Pho-tography and plans to enter the business ui on graduation. Bill is planning to enter the U. of M. next fall. It really will seem strange after eleven years at Blake. 33 DOUGLAS ALLEN FREEMAN Entered Blake in 1945 “Doug’ Minnesota “They talk about conscription as being a democratic institution. Yes, so is a cemetery.”—Anon. BENEATH the disarming visage above, lurks one of the foremost authorities in the class on the fair sex. Proudly waving a hand with a bare ring finger, Doug has often been seen expounding his theories on women in the senior room lecture course. Despite his women-killing abilities, Doug is a serious student and athletic enthusiast. While maintaining high scholastic averages since his entrance to Blake in 1945, he has proved his aptness in numerous sports. As a junior he played on the varsity’s basketball team after serving a term on Mr. Glenn’s J.V. hockey team. His aggressive center and guard play assisted Pete Parks to an unprecedented two out of three undefeated f(X)tball seasons. Doug also won pugilistic fame in a victorious bout for the welterweight championship in his first year. Other extra-curricular activities have also received his favor. He crashed the dramatic circles with a part in “The Lost Elevator”, and has been a member of the Glee Club for two years. His material (besides recommendations for the $ound Furv) has appeared in the TORCH for two years. As an independent thinker and one of the most informed in the class on current events subjects, Doug has gained the respect of his classmates. His efforts paid off in prizes when he won the annual Time Current Events Quizzes in the senior room sessions. Doug worked his way to the “inside” and served a sentence toting trays and pouring milk for Lower School boys. Doug's diligence and friendliness will sec him through any difficulties arising from the college or any aforementioned causes. WILLIAM RUFUS GAMBLE EARLY one morning six long years ago a carrot topped youth, William Rufus Gamble by name, stepped from the wilderness of Washburn’s tangle town to lend his abilities to the Class of '48. A broad smile accompanied by tilted glasses, rosy cheeks, and a jovial attitude easily won over the hearts of the student body. Bill was not only a personality, however; he was also an athlete, and in true Blake tradition took part in two Varsity sports. He excelled in football where he became one of Coach Glenn’s most dependable guards. In swimming he racked up 3 letters as one of Hartmann’s steadiest 220 men. Hill specializes in half-holidays in the spring, and can frequently be seen getting his weekly hair-cut excuse from Mr. Clapp during the fT season. The personal appeal of Bill is seen by his election to Union in which he has been a respected member for two years. While we are on the subject of Bill’s jjersonal appeal, we ought to mention his attraction to the fairer sex. Undoubtedly you will find Bill up Mount Curve way any Saturday or Sunday with some of the boys enjoying cokes accompanied by some sparkling conversation. Although he admittedly lives from one weekend to another. Bill can frequently be heard in the Senior Room expounding in a booming voice the vices of “weekends”. One of the merrymakers of the class around the Senior Room, Bill is usually on hand when the Senior Room is found to be rocking with laughter. There is never a dull moment when Rosey is performing. Bill is renowned throughout south Minneapolis for his terrific record collection. Everyone at one time or another has enjoyed the seclusions of Bill’s basement listening to his jazz collection and perfecting his ping pong game. With such varied interests we know Bill will make a hit at college next year. 35 THOMAS ALEXANDER HELMICK Entered Blake in 1944 “Tom” Valedictorian Yale “It is the mind that makes the man”—Ovid WHEN Tom entered the Class of ’48 hack in the Third Form, the class unknowingly had added its valedictorian to its ranks. The hoys were not long in finding this out, however, as Tom started right in on the First Honor Roll and has never been otT as far as major subjects are concerned. It’s difficult to pick any one subject in which Tom excels because the difference in marks usually is about two points out of a ninety total. However, Tom seems to have a leaning toward Math which fits into his engineering plans rather well. As if being valedictorian wasn’t a full job at Blake, Tom has consistently supported the extra-curricular activities. In the Dramatics Association he has displayed his acting ability for two years. A member of one of the better church choirs in the city, Tom has seen fit to add his low notes to the Glee Club for three years. And as an editor on the TORCH, he has found himself becoming intimately acquainted with the Webb household as for twelve hours every month he labored over editorials or “beds” with only an occasional bottle of “coke as his reward. How he managed to do all these activities even he possibly does not know, but his story does not end here. For Tom long ago joined the exclusive steady section of the class. But that is too long a tale. Let it suffice to say that Tom, because of his ability, studiousness, and versatility, is a preordained success wherever he may go. 36 DAVID FLEMING HICKOK UPON Dave’s graduation Coaches Glenn, Hartmann, and Wonson will be the first to grab the crying towel and bemoan the fact that this specimen of manhood will have departed, though they were temporarily relieved last year when Dave decided to take a post-graduate course. Dave excelled in football where he co-cap-tained the illustrious team this past fall. At the start of every game he wasn’t satisfied until he’d made a bonecrushing tackle or a breathtaking block, depending upon which team won the toss. He is also one of Johnny Hartmann’s star swimmers, having earned three letters since he joined the class. His remarkable capability was recognized when he was awarded the Guy Thomas Swimming Trophy at the annual Winter Sports Dinner. In the spring Dave turned his interest to the baseball field where he has won two letters. Following last year’s season, he played with Way-zata’s legion team, which went to the state finals. After reading of all of these accomplishments one would think that Dave should be content with being only an athlete. However, his name frequently adorned the honor roll and his leadership was made evident when he was elected to the Student Council last year. He has been a member of the Blake Union for three years. In addition, Boss” Hickok doles out half-holidays to those seniors who have so whole-heartedly supported the ad campaign. This honor was bestowed when he was elected Business Manager of the local sheet. Dave, too, has shown interest in dramatics, and Mr. Jones has cast him in two annual productions. When Dave journeys to Tigertown next year, he may well expect to spend more than the usual four years for the hoary masterminds of the Post-graduate school will undoubtedly secret him off to a dingy laboratory in an effort to learn Dave’s formula for success. 37 ROBERT FREDERICK HOLMGREN “The world belongs to the patient man.”—Italian Proverb Entered Blake in 1944 Amherst DRIP has blessed the halls of Blake with his presence since 1944 when he entered our class in the fourth form. Since then he has been an outstanding member of the group. Although not tops scholastically, he can be seen during many special help periods trudging from one master to another with a scholarly look on his face. In athletics Drip has been outstanding. He was a two year letter winner in football. It was not uncommon to hear “Coach” Glenn comment to his team. “That Holmgren, is a real blocker.” “Choppy steps” Holmgren he was called. Drip also received a letter in hockey as a stalwart defenseman for the Perkmen. Extra-curricular activities played a large part in Drip’s Blake career. As a member of the Dramatics Association for three years, he showed his talent well. The class elected him president in their junior year. Under his leadership, the junior class presented the graduating class of ’47 with the best Junior-Senior prom to that date. His two year membership in the Union was climaxed with the presidency of that organization during the first half of this year. Drip was an amusing mediator and kept the group well in hand. Climaxing his career at Blake was his election to the captaincy of the Browns. This job has been faithfully fulfilled by Drip, and the Browns have certainly had capable leadership. Drip’s slow movements and various colors of corduroy pants will be missed by the school next year. However, we are sure that Drip will be a success wherever he goes, and he will definitely be a credit to Blake and an asset to Amherst. ★ ★ ★ 38 WILLIAM BRACE HORN Entered Blake in 1936 “Bill,” “Willy” Minnesota “Music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.—Pepys OXE of the foremost exponents of modern music is Willie “Bird Horn, who can often be heard blowing a mad bebop alto sax in many of the local hotbeds of musical activity. Together with Dick Bruzek, Bill can make the most reluctant long-hairs succumb to the delights of listening to his large record collection. Having been at Blake since the first grade, Bill has the distinction of being one of the two oldest members of the class of 1948. He has spent the major part of these twelve years in wondering about the numerous injustices heajred upon him by the faculty, which does not understand Bill’s hidden ability and geniality. After serving his apprenticeship last year, Willie this year assumed full control of the school’s most exclusive organization, the Press Club, which has only one member. His duty as the Press Club is to provide adequate newspaper coverage for all Blake’s sporting and social events. If it were not for his efforts, many a Blake athlete would l e unknown outside the school. A large portion of Bill’s work comes in the winter season, when three sports furnish many contests that need personal coverage. What little spare time he had left was devoted to l eing hockey manager, an office which he discharged admirably. Contrary to the popular opinion among the hockey squad. Bill faithfully stoked the fires in the two warming houses at the rinks. In other extra-curricular activities he was a TORCH reporter and a stage hand for the Dramatics Association for two years. When Bill leaves Blake this spring for the University of Minnesota, it will Ik the first time since 1933 that a Horn hasn't attended the school. The school will miss you, Bill. Good luck to you. 39 RICHARD CHAPELL HUTCHINSON Entered Blake in 1944 “Hutch” Cum Laude Harvard “First say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do”—Epictetus “HUTCH” was a member of that large group of students that in the freshman year .entered these revered halls in an attempt to gain an education. His large grin and quiet, conservative nature soon made him a very popular member of the class. He has long been the mainstay of the “Math for Today, Physics for Tomorrow” club; in fact, one of the most common questions heard in the Senior Room was, “Hutch, what’s the answer to the fifth?” Scholastically, Dick has stood near the top of the class ever since he entered the school. However, Dick has not spent all his time behind his books. Last year Mr. Jones discovered his ability in the field of dramatics and gave him parts in two of the Blake Plays that year. His support was so valuable to the Dramatic Association that he was elected Business Manager this year. Hutch is also among that select group of boys who has sung in the Glee Club for four years. This year he supported the publications as Circulation Manager; and acted as Treasurer of the Secondhand Book Store. In the field of sports, Hutch has played on the Varsity Football Squad for two years and won his letter as a Senior for the excellent work he did as one of Mr. Glenn’s regular linemen. He also helped initiate the new field house as a substitute for Mr. Lundholm’s Cagers. Following in the footsteps of his brother, Dick plans to attend Harvard next year. With such a wide background, we feel sure that he will be highly successful there. 40 CLARENCE MYHREN LARSON, JR. Entered Blake in 1944 “Kleggie” Minnesota “In his house he had a large looking glass Before which he would stand and go through his exercises. —Plutarch FOUR years ago a little hoy with bright red hair and a beaming smile, was seen climbing the path leading to our school on the hilltop. Immediately Kleggie became popular with all the other little Blakesters. His prowess in athletics was shown when he was still a freshman. One day Kleg happened to wander down to the Minneapolis Club pool, to see Blake’s famous swimmers in action. As he entered the door, he tripped and fell head first into the pool. His grace caught Coach Hartmann’s eye, and ever since he has been earning letters as one of Minneapolis’ best divers. Clarence was elected captain in his Senior year and led his mates to a most successful season. In his Sophomore year. Kleggie journeyed to Minikahda with the varsity golf squad. His inexperience held him back in his Sophomore year, but after only one year of divot digging, Clarence made the first four and played his position with increasing skill. This year he was a hard man to heat. Clarence’s popularity was shown when he was elected to the Union in his Junior year. Kleg has also been consistently high in scholastic standing. Probably his greatest accomplishment was a poem on Harold Stassen which he wrote and read in the Williams Theme Contest. Clarence plans to follow his father’s footsteps and become a doctor. His handsome face and charming personality will surely bring him a thriving practice, and we are sure that he will never have an unsatisfied patient. His sparkling personality and his scholastic abilities form a combination which must make Kleg a success in Minnesota and in his chosen field of endeavor. 41 JAMES HILL LESLIE “A little flattery will support a man through great strife. —James Monroe Entered Blake in 1941 Cum Laude Princeton JIM entered Blake seven years ago, and since that time the school has never regretted admitting this scholar, athlete, and casanova. In the eyes of his fellows Jim’s most amazing feat in the scholastic field was struggling through four years of Latin with Mr. Foss without showing any of the common signs of battle such as chalk wounds and torn ligaments. Les has been on the honor roll consistently, several times leading the class. That Jim has a large measure of literary talent is shown by the fact that he received honorable mention in both the Thorpe Cup and Williams Theme Contests. But Jim also excels in other fields. In extra-curricular activities Jim has been in the spot light. He has lent his husky baritone to the Glee Club for the last three years while serving successfully in dramatics and publications for two. Jim’s acting talents on the stage are well known, but even three feet alwwe it. sus-|xndcd by his neck from a gallows, he preserves his dramatic ability. On the TORCH board Jim was feature editor. He has not confined his athletic ability to being one of Miss Berglund’s stellar substitute waiters, but also won a letter in football and hockey. Outside the school Jim was also active. After acquiring a new “D boat last year, Les became so interested in sailing that he started the “Windjammer”, a newspaper on interlake racing. When he wasn’t sailing Jim could generally he found engaging in other activities with his many friends. Jim plans to enter Princeton next fall. His varied career at Blake and his pleasant personality should stand him in go xl stead at old Nassau. ★ ★ ★ ★ 42 WAYNE CARL UNMAN Entered Blake in 1944 Carl,” “Buck.” “Linny” Dartmouth “Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.”—Bohn An almost instantaneous association with the name of Wavne Unman is the number 10. for his outstanding athletic career has been largely based on that number. For four years the numeral 10 has been prominent on the baseball diamond; for three years on the football field; for two on the basketball court; and, if swimming suits were numbered, for one year at the swimming pool. He has personified that number into an unexcelled example of skill, sportsmanship, and hard play. He has climaxed his football career by winning the Williams Trophy and has topped his four-year baseball career by being elected this year’s captain. He has earned each of his ten letters as a regular, an even more outstanding achievement. The list of his other accomplishments is equally impressive. He has thrilled audiences with his tenor voice for three years and has been a Council member for three years, climaxing that honor by his election as Head Boy this year. He obviously delights in issuing the instruments of mental torture, for he was the Vice-President of the Bookstore last year and is this year’s President. In addition, although this list of achievements scarcely needs additions to increase its impressiveness, he has been a member of the Union for two years, serving as last year's Vice-President, and has been an intermittent honor roll member. Another indication of his popularity is the number of epithetical appelations his comrades have bestowed on him, among which are “Peanuts,” “Carl,” “Buck,” “Liny,” and “Buns.” Words of praise are unnecessary, for his election to so many offices expresses his comrade’s opinion of him; Best hopes for a successful future, Buck. 43 MATTHEW EDWARD LOUFEK I do not like noise unless I make it myself”—French Proverb Entered Blake in 1941 Cum Laude Princeton WHEX the senior class was young—back in the first form that is—it gained a member in the person of one Matthew Loufek, who has been one of the outstanding students ever since. His scholastic work throughout his career at Blake has been impeccable, a fact which is clearly indicated by the consistency with which Blackie keeps his name near the top of the honor roll. However, it is his knowledge of some of the more remote subjects like physics, astronomy, jets and rockets, love, etc., and his ability to express himself with that A+ vocabulary that has amazed all who know him. Frenchie’s understanding of photography is acknowledged by everyone at Blake plus anyone who has seen his work. With his own darkroom full of equipment and his Leica, Matt has many times produced the work of a professional. As chief photographer for the school paj er, he has among other things, helped to get the Camera Club under way at Blake. Matt has been associated with the Glee Club, Dramatics, Union, and athletics. This year Matt ended his three years with the Glee Club as he assumed the office of Business Manager. His two years with the Dramatics Association were definitely an asset to that organization, and his election in his junior year to the Union, one of the school’s most respected organizations, is indicative of his popularity. Blackie’s work on the football squad as a slashing defensive end, on the hockey team at left wing, and on the baseball team in the hot third base corner, netted him three well earned letters. Next year it’s Princeton for this character, and we know he’ll do as good a job there as he did at Blake. ■it a-jfj mmn _i r.«i ★ ★ 44 HOWARD IVES McMILLAN Entered Blake in 1947 “Mac,” “Howie” Yale “Better once a mischief than ever an inconvenience”—John Clark HOWARD McMillan is one of the East's main contributions to Blake School in recent years; and. conversely, next year he will be Blake’s main contribution to the East, Yale especially. Howard came to Blake this year from Hotchkiss, after leaving us in the Third Form. Once having returned, Mac has rapidly added new personality and new expression to our humble class. This year our hero has majored in History and half-holidays. Concerning the former, he is probably one of the greatest assets that the history department has ever known. Besides educating thoughtful masters Mr. Edie and Mr. Butler on the “fine points” of this subject, Mac has interested and amused classes with his eloquent arguments on everything from tlie causes of the W estern Movement (or the movement of any kind for that matter) to Wasie’s last statement. Athletically Mac has been an active member of Mr. Lundholm’s five. Once the season ended, however. Mac, accompanied by his faithful maroon Ford, could be seen happily leaving the premises after his last class on such pretenses as dentist appointments, and half-holidays when nothing else would work. McMillan is geniality personified. And. though he never really loses his temper, occasionally peaved at some individual, he will utter suggestions as humorous and impractical as they are unprintable. Along with ochoiastic and athletic prowess Mac has social life in mind sometimes, ton. And, although he may be telling you about various girls with whom he plans to go steady one day, the next weekend will usually find him with “die tjoys” wondering what to do, or more appropriately—where to do � l- Best of luck next year, Mac. 45 DONALD GLENN MOYER Entered Blake in 1944 “Don” Minnesota His only fault is that he has no fault—Pliny A new tradition was started in Blake when Don entered these halls in what was then the Fourth Form. He has followed closely in the footsteps of his equally illustrious brother over the four years of high school, until he now is recognized as one of the unique personalities of our class. Don’s self-assurance and easy-going manner have earned him the nickname of “Dauntless” and “Big Don.” Many years will pass before this robust call of “Hy’a Pal ceases to resound through the halls. Don’s personality is not his only claim to fame, however, for he has taken a very active part in many extra-curricular activities, and has participated in several sports. His greatest strength is in the field of dramatics; he has given invaluable aid to the association for the past two years. Last spring, when the Blake-Xorthrop combination put forth their first presentation, “The Late Christopher Bean”, Don was a natural for the part of Warren Creamer. He was also in the Christmas plays this year and will be in the next Play this May. The Glee Club has also fallen into Don’s realm of influence. Mr. Allen has said that the club shows unusual balance and power this year. Don, sitting in the bass section, is behind most of the power and a great deal of the balance. In the two years he has belonged he has hit very few false noicc, and forms a pillar around which the bass section centers. Don has almost always beet, able to avoid all sorts of physical exercise. He has an uncanny ability for having an excuse for every occasion. Don’s personality has made him a well known figure at Blake; and this . me personality should carry him successfully through the “U”. 46 JOSEPH EDWARD MURPHY. JR. Entered Blake in 1946 “Joe, “Jose Princeton “Deal ingenuously with truth and love it for itself”—Whichcote TWO years ago Joe entered Blake from St. Thomas Military Academy. Since then he has established himself as one of the best liked members of his class. This year he succeeded in earning letters in both hockey and football. But Joe is not satisfied to confine the majority of his athletics to school sports, and on weekends and during vacations he can most often be found on a ski slope or a tennis court. Joe’s constant practicing led. although he doesn’t admit it. to his becoming cpiite proficient on the hickories this winter. Last summer Joe was able to indulge in his favorite pastime of mountain climbing. He scaled Mt. Wilbur in Glacier National Park after he had finished two months of working in the Idaho forests, and this year he plans to have another crack at some western peaks. Of Joe’s other recreational activities, automotive, feminine, and otherwise, space does not permit us to say more than that they have formed the subject of many a lively anecdote among his schoolmates. The fact that Joe’s extra-curricular interests are not confined to sports and amusement, however, is shown by his membership for the past two years in the Glee Club and by his skill at photography. Jose displays much of the same determination and energy that he uses in athletics for intellectual improvement, and he is constantly working to increase his vocabulary, his reading l ackground. or his knowledge of the subjects in which his interests lie. His unflagging good humor, however, prevents his ever considering any of these efforts with too great a degree of solemnity, loe tells us that he plans to go to Princeton next fall, and we are all certain that he will meet with the same success and popularity there that he has met with at Blake. 47 KINGSLEY HOPKINS MURPHY Entered Blake in 1936 Murph” “King” Harvard “His speech is a burning fire.”— Swinburne FROM the time he entered Blake twelve years ago, Murph has enlivened his class-mates with his hearty laugh and his good sense of humor. Although his long stay in the school of his choice has been interrupted by several journeys to Florida and one winter at an Arizona school, King made up for lost time by spending almost an entire year at Blake’s illustrious West House. Besides being a willing friend to everyone in need, Murph has taken a strong interest in school extra-curricular activities. From the “C Team up he has been an energetic manager of Blake teams. His forte is probably current events. He is keenly interested in world affairs, and his list of achievements in this field began in the Lower School where one year he was first in the Time Magazine General Information Test. His scores on these tests were in the upper brackets in recent years, and this year he tied for first place. If general information is his forte, his style of writing it is sometimes his downfall. King’s hieroglyphics might he likened to a Chinese puzzle—just ask Mr. Cleveland. His capacity for public speaking led him to enter both Dramatics and Debating. Since his debut in Dramatics Murph has taken an active part in many theatrical productions. In addition to being a member of the Blake Dramatics Association. he participated in several Northrop plays. King sparked the Debating team to many victories and competed for the Strieker Debating Cup. He is a re-jx rter on the TORCH and was a finalist in the Williams Theme Contest this year. Blake is losing a strong supporter and an amiable student when it loses Murph to I Iarvard, the college of his choice. 48 HENRY WACKS NORTON, JR. Entered Blake in 1944 “Hank,” “Nort” Williams “Lose no time; be always engaged in something useful”—Ben Franklin HENRY Norton lias been a remarkable addition to the class of ’48. Hank has the distinction of being the only senior to defy the laws of gravity successfully. Ever since his first days as a freshman Henry’s claim to fame has rested in his ability to hang in mid-air over the basketball court and make shots that somehow find their way through the rim of the basket. In four years of basketball, Capt. Hank has collected all the letters that the school could give him. No less spectacular is his ability to be in all corners of a tennis court at one time. Unfortunately Mr. Cleveland has first call before the Wimbledon; nevertheless Henry has been through practically every tennis tournament that the state has to offer. Henry was elected Captain this year after four years on the tennis team. As a football player Hank has played almost every position that Mr. Parks has been able to devise. Unless they catch him unaware, he can run straight through an entire team of players. For three years the dramatics association has been graced by Henry’s Barrymore-like presence. After two years of membership in the Union he was elected secretary in his senior year. In his senior year he was also elected secretary of the A. A. and was sports editor of the TORCH. Monday morning could often find Henry reeking pleasantly of dog. after a hard Sunday afternoon at the kennels. As a sailor, he is the terror of the Inland Lakes, burning up the race course during the summer. Henry plans to go to Williams. His personality will make him a success wherever he goes, and someday we will be proud to say, “I used to know Henry Norton way back when . . .” 49 JAMES EARL SLOCUM Entered Blake in 1942 “Jim “Sloe” Harvard “Whatever may befall thee, it was preordained for thee for everlasting.”— Aurelius WHO is the senior who can be seen skimming over Lake Minnetonka in his “C boat in the summer and in his flaming-red ice boat in the winter? Who is the senior who wrote about a sailing vessel in his Williams Theme and about Clipper Ships in his history term paper? Jim Slocum, naturally, foremost exponent of yachting in the class of 1948. “Sloe” is not content with only being a sailor, for throughout the fall months his 6 feet 4 inch frame can be seen working out with Pete Parks’ Junior Varsity football team. Jim also played J. V’. hockey, as well as batting a few tennis balls around come springtime. This lanky gentleman is also a scholar of some note, making the Honor Roll his share of the time. His strong support of the extra-curricular activities at Blake shows his versatility. Jim is an old member of the Dramatics Association, l eing both an actor and director, a reporter on the TORCH staff, and a four year man in the Glee Club. In addition he is no slouch socially, for he is one of the staunchest supporters of Blake dances and frequently in the early evening his blue-green Mercury can lx noticed heading towards either St. Paul or Minnetonka. These mentioned attributes along with his likable personality stand him in good stead as his college career approaches, and we can all be sure that he will make another fine record at Harvard. 50 ROBERT HUNTLEY THOMPSON Entered Blake in 1946 “Cy,” “Thomps” Harvard “Upon what meat doth this our Caesar f eed ’ ’—S hake spear e CY first showed his massive body at Blake School in his Junior year. Blake truly benefited from his emigration from Highland Park High in Illinois. “The Mole” has engaged in sports and extra-curricular activities as well as constantly keeping a high scholastic average. As soon as Cy entered Blake he was seen on the football field conscientiously engaging in Coach Glenn’s workouts. His hard work was rewarded at the end of his junior year with a football letter. This presentation was again repeated this year. In the Spring Cy played in Coach Wonson’s outfield and proved to he very valuable. Cy’s popularity was marked by his selection as Vice President of the Senior Class. He was also elected Treasurer of the Union for the first half of this year. When the second half year elections were held, Cy was rewarded for his excellent work at this position with the office of President of the organization. Extra-curricularly “Thomps” has been very active. This year he honored the Glee Club with his rasping baritone voice. He also acted as a reporter for the TORCH and as a stage hand for the Dramatics Association. “Thomps” has also engaged in many activities outside the school grounds. His outside friends are many. On weekends he can be seen in Lew Bonn’s Radio Shop. In this establishment he carries out his hobby of radio and electrical work. His interest in this field has benefited the production of many Blake School dances. Cy has made many friends in Minneapolis, and it is with great regrets that we will see him return to Illinois upon graduation. From there he will venture farther East to attend the JVy covered halls of Harvard. 51 JAMES MARSH THOMSON, JR. Entered Blake in 1944 “Marsh, “Mush Carleton “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for ?”—Browning MARSH entered Blake in his freshman year. He came to us from cosmopolitan New York City, and immediately set an example of Eastern activity for all of us to admire. His record in our school is probably the best proof of this statement. Marsh has been a member of the Glee Club and of the Dramatics Association for three years. He has been a reporter for the TORCH for three years, furnishing this worthy publication with articles on school and sport activities. An excellent salesman, Mush has been selling not only sporting goods in the athletic store in his junior and senior years but also is well known for his efforts—his pleas—to sell tickets for a glee club concert or a play. In the athletic field, Marsh has done remarkably well considering the little time he has been able to dedicate to that endeavor. He has earned two basketl al! letters and participated in many other sports. Marsh’s personality and hard work were rewarded at the end of his junior year when he was elected to a number of offices. This year he has been president of both the Dramatics Association and the Glee Club. Manager of the Athletic store, and member of the student council. Marsh’s oratorical ability is revealed bv the nickname of “Preacher” which was assigned to him. With “the voice of a boid he won the sophomore declamation contest, and he was on the runner-up debating team that same year. His chapel speeches were excellent and convincing, and his ability as an actor is well known to all Blake boys who have seen any one of the seven plays in which he has taken part. Marsh is off to Carleton next fall—that is, if he doesn’t get lost in Duluth this summer. We’re certain he will meet with the same success and popularity there as he has here at Blake. DONALD ALLEN WASIE Entered Blake in 1940 “Don,” “Wass” Amherst “To l)e independent is the business of a few only; it is the privilege of the strong ’ ’—Nietzsche COMMENCEMENT this year has climaxed eight eventful years for Don here at Blake. It was back in 1940 that he became a member of the elite group of boys who have progressed through senior Blake from the junior school. Among Don’s greatest, or at least most outstanding accomplishments is to have completed this year his fifth year of Latin, that wonderful subject taught to the tune of the chalk stick. For four years now Don has been journeying to the Minneapolis Club j ool every afternoon during the winter term to develop his already powerful backstroke. He was a valuable constituent in his junior year of the record-breaking medley combination of Wasie-Dayton-Kelley, and needless to say he leasts four swimming letters. But his pride and joy came this winter when he was awarded the Arthur Swimming Improvement trophy. A waiter of some renown last year, Don’s excellence was rewarded this year by his appointment to the coveted Headwaiter position. In the spring Don devotes his afternoons to the Meadowbrook golf course where, rumor hath it, he swings a wicked club. However, besides his academic accomplishments, Don has proved himself proficient in several other respects. For instance a hitherto hidden talent came into the light recently as it became known that Don’s limousines often find their way over St. Paul way come a weekend night. Next year Don plans to continue his exploits at Amherst, and we wish him lots of luck in all his endeavors. 53 ROBERT LEGATE WEBB Entered Blake in 1941 “Bob,M “Rob” Yale Cum Laude “ Tis the set of the sail and not the gale that determines which way they go. A non A wizard in many ways. Bob has discovered how to accomplish the maximum with the ordinary senior’s effort. A past-master at escaping Mr. Phillips, he took over the task of football manager last fall. With this bulwark against play he continued to work especially as editor-in-chief of publications. With him as leader the staff toiled through many a night in attempting to preserve the freedom of the press. In addition as two year veteran on the Glee Club, Boh had sufficient voice training for his baritone to he promoted this year from ordinary plate-snatcher in Miss Berglund’s dining hall to headwaiter. While he superintended the serving of the food, Boh filled his mouth with pebbles and practiced bellowing commands as training for his other roles at Blake. On the debating squad for two years Boh voiced his condemnation of Universal Military Training as vociferously as any other memlier of Mr. Vaughan's team. Yet the rich grow richer and the successful make greater accomplishments, for Boh is on the Union and was elected treasurer for the last half of the year. In addition he has been a continuous high honor man since Blake opened its wooded gates to him hack in the sixth grade. Now look at the picture again. Has the visage within assumed a roguish gleam? BEWARE, for Boh finds great delight in his wanton wiles inasmuch as he is protected by an elite clique known as the Caesar-Slappers. So when Yale claims him, we know that it will find a man well-rounded with humor, diligence, and ability. 54 ROGER DEAN WELLS Entered Blake in 1943 “Hog Lawrenceville “A good reputation is more valuable than money.”—Publius Syr us ROGER joined our merry crowd in the eighth grade. Since then his curly locks and flashing smile have impressed us deeply. However. Rog is a very firmly established women-hater even though he does possess these envious traits. When Roger brushes up on his dance routine, it is expected that he will he seen draped on the arm of some vivacious young lady. Nevertheless all kidding aside, Rog has been a benefit to the school in many ways. Although not tops scholastically nor athletically. he has given his full support to various activities during his time at Blake. Football is his fall sport. He was the hardest worker on the team, hut his small frame was a definite handicap. In hockey Rog earned his letter as an all purpose defenseman for the “puckmen.” Baseball, however, was his mainstay in athletics. His “southpaw” has been improving over the last few years. Rog has amazing control of his fast hall. He can keep them guessing at the plate most of the time. In this year’s Concordia game Rog went seven innings giving up only five hits. Besides his prominence in athletics Rog is active in other activities. He was a hard working stage hand for this year’s Dramatics Association. Roger’s innocence, athletic prowess, and earnestness have won for him the respect of this class. We sincerely hope that he will l e a success in his future endeavors, and we wish him luck wherever he goes. 55 JAMES KEECH WITTENBERG Entered Blake in 1945 “Jim ’ “Wit” Dartmouth “An individual is as superb as a nation when he has the qualities which make a superb nation ’—Walt Whitman WHEN Jim entered our class in the fall of 45, he found that the carefree days of public school no longer existed. However, he was quick to apply himself and his talents to the school activities, and in the three years since that humble beginning Jim has made an enviable record in both athletics and extra-curricular activities. For two years he has been a stalwart on the junior varsity football squad. He has played both golf and tennis, and this year climaxed his career with a well earned letter in swimming. Jim has been an enthusiastic member of the Dramatics Association since he entered these halls. He has contributed several outstanding performances to this organization, and this year he was rewarded by his election to the key position of stage manager of the association. Jim has also lent his creative ability to the TORCH board this year by writing as a reporter for that organization. Besides contributing so much to outside activities, Jim has maintained a consistently fine scholastic record. He completed his first year well in the upper third of the form, a record which he has maintained since that time. However, in keeping with the senior custom Jim’s bustling figure has lately been seen to slip through the door marked “Bull Sessions” (Senior room to the uninformed). All kidding aside though, we want to wish Jim all the luck in the world at Dartmouth, the college of his choice. We are sure that he will be a success. 56 © Back row: S.

FIFTH FORM At the beginning of the school year the Class of ’49 welcomed two new students, Norton Grundy and William Pearson. We were represented on the Council by Grossman and Hommeyer while Crawford, Rademacher, and Reidhead were chosen class officers. Mr. Butler was elected our Faculty Adviser. The Junior Class did not stand high scholastically this year, hut Peterson. Grossman, Litfin and Owen, W. bolstered the class average consistently every marking period. In extra-curricular activities the class was well represented with Selover. Scherer, Winston, Grossman, and Hommeyer rendering their efforts to the Publications. Grossman. Litfin, Peterson. Ringland, Jamieson, and Scherer participating in Dramatics. Scherer, Reidhead, Peterson, and Jamieson sang in Blake’s excellent Glee Club. On the athletic field our class was not outstanding, hut nevertheless we had members on most of the Varsity teams. Rademacher, Reidhead, and Corbell won positions on the football team. During the Winter Term Scherer, Reidhead. and Richie Crawford performed exceptionally well for the hockey team while Hommeyer and Hymes won letters in swimming. Pearson, Rademacher, and Selover found the new field house to their liking as they played basketball. In the Spring many of our number tried out for the baseball team, and those who played for the Varsity were Scherer, Reidhead, and Selover. In conclusion, the class wishes to extend its thanks to Mr. Butler for his constant help and advice throughout the school year. 61 Richard Crawford, President Back row: Graham, Stiles, Berghuis, A.

Boies, Ankeny, Lowe, Mr. Calt, Corbett, Wrench, Cardie, Colwell, Phelps. FOURTH FORM At the l eginning of the school year three new boys joined our class. They were Brantingham, Berghuis, and Fisher. Lowe was elected president, Corbett vice president, and Gluek secretary-treasurer. Last spring Bob Slocum was elected council member for the second straight year. In the fall most of the boys engaged in football. Our class was represented on the J. V. by Bingham. Brantingham, Corbett, Cohen, Buffington. Gluek, Lowe. Schmid, and Weiser. On the “A” team were Ankeny, Boies, Harris, Ueland, and Wrench, while Cardie and Colwell won letters on the “B team. Klass, Slocum, Sandy and Rogers played tennis. During the winter term Ankeny played on the Varsity hockey team, while Boise, Klass, Gluek, Rogers, Slocum. Buffington and Ueland were on the Junior Varsity hockey. Harris, Brantingham, Corbett, Berghuis, and Schmid played on the J. V. basketball team. This spring Bingham, Brantingham, Corbett. Fischer, Harris, Klass, and Slocum played J. V. baseball. Boies, Eck, Graham, and Cohen played golf. The others either played tennis or softball. Scholastically our class did very well. Ankeny, Boies, and Stiles had consistently the highest averages. Slocum. Ueland, and Buffington followed them. We would now like to thank our masters, athletic advisers, and Mr. Calt, our class adviser, for their help throughout the year.

THIRD FORM During our exj erience in Blake as freshmen, we showed a tendency to shine in other than scholastic activities. As the grueling quiz show l egan, I eck, Pugh, Snyder, and Herlocker appeared as new contestants. While our intellectual achievements caused some to believe that we might not entirely graduate in 51, we did contribute much to other school activities. Future All-Americans bruised their opponents on almost all football squads, freshmen gained fame as l askctl all sharpshooters. and the waters of the Minneapolis Club pool were churned into turmoil by the sterling representatives of the third form. Freshmen also distinguished themselves on intra-mural squads, and some of our members showed that they might reach the big leagues as managers. Potential l oxing greats” walked away with Brown and White boxing titles, and we had similar successes this Spring in tennis, baseball, and golf. Several freshmen showed signs of future greatness on the stage, with brilliant performances in the Dramatic Club’s one-act plays, and freshmen voices contributed their share of harmony at the annual Glee Club Concert. We are all deeply indebted to the school for the opportunities which it has given us, to our class adviser, Mr. Wonson. to our | ersonal advisers, coaches and teachers. They will probably look l ack upon our year with mixed emotions, but we hope that their memories of us will be mostly pleasant ones. John Hiatt, President 63 Hack row: Wurtele, H.

They were Hugh Huntting, Lynn Hedin, Lewis Mitliun, Barney Bicklehaupt, and Dick Cardozo. The class elected Bill Mullin president, Ed Barry vice president, and Bob Cote secretary-treasurer. The class did not rank very high this year but several boys made honors consistently. Ed Barry and Lewis Mitliun made first honors, while Bob Cote, Peter Mattson, and Eddie Wong made second honors. During the fall most of the boys went out for football. Mac Hyde, Tom Vennum, and Bill Sjiencer received “C team letters. Jim Ringland. Bob Cote, Angus Wurtele, Tom Cagley. Pat Farnand, Jack Heffelfinger, Don Newhall and Burt Grossman represented the class on the “B team. Ed Barry, John Regan. Bill Mullin. and Peter Mattson played “A” team football. As for the winter sports both the Middle School hockey and basketball teams were undefeated. Hockey players were Bob Cote, Ed Barry, Jim Ring-land, Lewis Mitliun, Angus Wurtele, and John Regan. The Middle School basketball team was composed of Burt Grossman, Pat Farnand, Mac Hyde, Ted Brouillette. Bill Mullin, and John Hibbs. The Middle School staged another successful Christmas play under the direction of Mrs. Xunan. John Regan, Pat Farnand, and John Hibbs had leading parts. We would like to express our gratitude to our masters, advisers, and to our class adviser, Mr. Kellogg, for their help throughout the year. 64 William Mullin, President Back row: Thomson, Stenson, Schmitt, Zonne, Oietz, Page, Ford, A.

At the class elections early in the fall the class chose Swenson President, Ritchie Vice President, and Yeates Secretary-Treasurer. About one-tbird of the class attained the honor roll this year with Gene Yeates and John Lampc both reaching a high of eighty-nine. The First Form also won the Scholarship Plaque once, which climaxed its scholastic achievements. During the fall many boys were attracted to the ’‘A.” “B,” or “C” teams, where such standouts as Jim Archer, Emil Zonne. and Phil Larson really earned their football letters. The Class split evenly on the two winter sports, with Joe Ritchie excelling in basketball and Bill Boies and Bill Dietz in hockey. When spring rolled around this year most of the First Form turned to Ixiseball with enthusiastic attendance on the co-efficient teams. Some also played softball or tennis. The general information tests this winter found John I ampc winning the cup with several other First Formers taking honorable mention. One of the leading roles in the Christmas play, the hunchback, was outstand-ingly per formed by John Lampe. The rest of the First Form also took part. I wish on behalf of the First Form to express our most sincere appreciation to Mr. Glenn, our class adviser, for his valuable help and guidance throughout the school year. 65 Al Swknson, President Back row: Grossman, Honimeyer, Slocum, Boies.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Blake Student Council, during the school year of 1947-48 accomplished admirably the various duties which are annually incumbent upon this body. The fall, winter, and spring dances, under the leadership of the council, were all well attended and were successes both socially and financially, and the many problems in citizenship which arise during the school year were also well handled by this council. In regard to the collection of funds for the charities to which the school annually subscribes, the Student Council inaugurated a new plan which had been proposed and drawn up by the council of the previous year. This plan proved to be practicable and the collection of money, which has always been a problem to the councils was consummated easily this year, and the amount of money collected exceeded all expectations. The 1947-48 Student Council, under the able leadership of Wayne Linman and under the guidance of Mr. Clapp, was well able to meet all problems with which it was confronted throughout the school year. Although the school’s dependence upon the council for guidance and the Council’s prestige and authority in school affairs has in the past been very small, the Council, this year, made marked strides towards gaining the dignity and respect which should be an inherent part of an organization of this kind. The Council has contributed much toward bringing Blake successfully through another school year; this body has among its accomplishments, set a standard which the next Student Council will find hard to surpass, yet this forthcoming council can he made far more efficient and more valuable with the wholehearted support of the student body, supjiort which has been woefully lacking in the past. 69 Hack row: McMillan, Webb, Helinick, Au rand, Linnian, Adams.

THE UNION The Blake Union is a non-secret, honorary society organized for the purpose of promoting fellowship and speaking and practice in parliamentary procedure. The members are chosen three times each year from the junior and senior classes. The Union meets on alternate Friday evenings during the year for dinner and a business meeting. During the meetings a prepared, an extemporaneous, and a faculty speaker are heard from. The group then discusses any phase of school life and many plans for the l etterment of the school result from these meetings. The last regular meeting of the Union each year is devoted to the reading by the senior members of their senior papers. These papers offer constructive criticism of the school. The Union wishes to thank Mr. Foss, who has directed it through another successful year. The officers for the past year were: FIRST HALF SECOND HALF Robert F.

GLEE CLUB In the organization of the 1947-48 season Mr. James S. Allen, the Director of the Blake Glee Club, saw one of the best-balanced groups of boys ever to give a concert at Blake. In the past there has been almost without exception a great scarcity of the younger boys to fill in the first and second tenor sections. This year, however, the situation was different. The club was larger than it has been for many years (it bad 44 members) and the tenors were strongly represented. In the elections held last fall when the club reorganized after the concertless season of 1946-47, Marsh Thomson was chosen as President: Matt Loufek, Business Manager; Tom Jamieson, Vice-President; and Dale Peterson, Secretary. These officers were responsible for selling tickets, arranging rehearsals, managing the finances of the organization, and obtaining an auditorium for the concert. The auditorium of the Northrop Collegiate School was secured this year. The concert was held Friday night, April 9, and proved to be an immense success. About one hundred dollars in profit made by the concert served thus to buy keys for the eleven three-year members. This year Mr. Allen and the Glee Club were assisted by Dr. Robert Maxeiner, baritone soloist and graduate of Blake in the class of '41. Dr. Maxein-er’s selections were very well received by the audience and he was called for many encores, as was the glee club. Dr. Maxeiner’s repertoire included: “Ombra Mai Fu” by Handel, “Non Pin Andrai” by Mozart. “Invictus” by Hahri. “The Cloths of Heaven” by Dunhill. and “To a Messenger by La Farge. In the Glee Club’s program were, “The Pilgrim's Song, I schaikowsky; On Great I -one Hills by Sibelius, “The Ranger’s Song” by Tierney. “The Riff Song” by Romberg. “Rosalie” by Porter, “It’s a Grand Night for Singing” by Rogers, “I Got Rhythm” by Gershwin, “Cossack Love Song by Kountz-Treharne, and “The Galway Piper” by Fletcher. After the concert. President Marsh Thomson presented Mr. Allen with a silver plate in behalf of the club, expressing its appreciation of the great amount of hard work and time devoted so freely to the organization. 71 Hack row: Grossman, Chisholm, Corliell, K.

The Stall of this year, led by a very capable Editor-in-Chief. has put out several outstanding issues of the TORCH; and throughout the eight issues, they have satisfied every desire of the responsive subscribers. This year the accent seemed to be upon special features; and the editorials, faculty columns, letters to the editors, and the informal columns all helped to make the TORCH more appealing to the readers. Front page news and school events, however, were well covered by the reporters and editors. In general the articles were all very well written and appealed to the reader through their style and interest. This year the Sports Department, handled by Hank Norton, was exceptionally good. The coverage of athletic events was faithful and the articles were always well written and very interesting to read. In the later issues, this department printed several excellent articles about the outstanding athletes of the Senior Class. Primarily because of the efforts of Mathew Loufek, the photography of the TORCH and CALL O’PAN, has been unusually good. Matt has kept the paper well supplied with sports pictures throughout the year and the informal photographs in this book are an excellent representation of his work for the Publications. The Platter-Patter column well satisfied the desires of the musically inclined readers. Dick Bruzek’s wit and “know how” about records made the section a storehouse of musical knowledge and jive expressions. The “Sports Lights” column handled the personal side of sports, and the “Letters to the Editors” kept the TORCH in touch with the pulse of the school, which every school paper must express. We were very fortunate this year to have the cartoons of Henry Chisolm to add humor and novelty to the pajK-r. These cartoons supplied the human interest that a paper needs, after the “Sound and Fury” column was forced out of existence. The eight issues of the TORCH put out hv the Staff of this year, form an accurate picture of life at Blake. These issues contain everything that students and faculty alike desire in a school paper; and the Editorial Staff has upheld the resj ect that the school shows for the Publications Board. CALL O’ PAN Although last year’s staff nearly wiped out the standing debt of the Publications, the increased prices of printing have been a continual handicap to the Board this year. Constantly fighting the need for financial assistance, the CALL O’PAN staff has completed what it considers a year book that is up to the standards set by previous editions. In many respects it has improved considerably. The photography, including the lens shots and section breaks, is at an all time high, this happy circumstance resulting in part from the establishment of the Camera Club and in part to the excellent work done by Matt Loufek. Sports coverage also is excellent with more shots of the team captains and other individual poses” being introduced than ever before. This year one of the most thorough and spirited ad campaigns has been waged in an effort to gain the necessary financial backing. Posters, Chapel talks, and form meetings have been instituted with the result that the price of the year book has gone up very little in proportion to the tremendous costs of publications. The Board has also resorted to Publications Dances which proved so successful that they may l� eeome a tradition at Blake. These record dances have been attended by scores of “sloppy J« es” and have netted the staff considerable income. In addition to the business end of the work, the editorial staff has worked nightly for several weeks rounding out the copy and striving to make improvements wherever they can. Working together. Bob W ebb and Dave Hickok have made the CALL O’PAN what it is. W e are proud of it and hope that you will Ik . We want to thank all the firms who have advertised in this IxKjk and wish to extend our special thanks to all at Blake who generouslv contributed to the setting up of this CALL O’PAN. 73 Back row: Hiatt, Selover, Bruzek, Beard, Norton, Leslie, Atwater.

DRAMATICS ASSOCIATION The expansion of the Dramatics Association and its program of productions in the last two years is unprecedented in the history of Blake. Last year, in addition to the regular presentation of one-act plays, the Blake and Northrop Thespian societies inaugurated what was hoped would develop into a tradition, when they combined forces to present “The Late Christopher Bean.” The play, a great success, was presented at Northrop and involved a center stage. This year our Dramatics Club’s program was even more ambitious, as the one-act plays, the Blake-Northrop play, and the presentation of a three-act play, “The Duke in Darkness.” were planned and presented. This year their respective duties in the Association have been discharged efficiently by Marsh Thomson, president; Dale Peterson, vice president; Dick Hutchinson, business manager; and Jim Wittenberg, stage manager. Membership in the Dramatics Association is achieved by any student whose name appears on a program, and this year approximately 50 boys have participated in the activities of the club. It can he proudly and truthfully claimed that this year has been one of the most successful and beneficial in development of the Dramatics Association. Not only in expansion, hut in efficiency and quality of presentation has the club reached a new high. Variety, appeal, and experience for participants have all been considerations in the selection of works to he produced, and the thirty-third year the Blake Dramatics Association has been functioning has indeed been an admirable one, garnering repute for the club and the school. All of the praise for the subject of the justified tribute above must he given to Mr. Howard F. Jones, for the third consecutive year director of the Dramatics 74 Club’s presentations. Too little credit is given Mr. Jones devoted service to dramatics in Blake. The worries and responsibilities of high school productions are innumerable, and Blake is inestimably fortunate in having Mr. Jones’ guidance of its dramatics work, as he shoulders all of the duties and details involved. (Written and spoken thanks can never adequately express the Association’s gratitude to Mr. Jones, hut the quality of the productions he has coached not only has been a tribute to his ability hut has in some degree been an expression of the appreciation of the student-actors he has directed.) It is hoped that the tradition of the Blake-Northrop production may he continued next year, especially after this year’s regrettable cancellation, and that the student body’s support of the Blake Dramatics Association will continue to grow. The annual night of one-act plays, presented by the Dramatics Association, was given this year on December 5. With the able direction of Mr. Jones and the enthusiasm of the Association, these plays proved to lie successful both dramatically and financially. Several performances of the evening were excellent and, in general, the program was appealing to the audience and very well presented. The evening was initiated with a melodrama entitled “The Thing,” with the Wittenberg brothers, Jim and Tom, constituting the entire cast. The two plays, “The Flattering Word” and “Cracked Ice,” were probably the best performances of the evening and were very entertaining to the audience. Don Moyer gave the most talented performance of the evening, and Ted Allen, portraying a stage-struck housewife, provided humor. “Cracked Ice was a story of life in an isolated radio outpost in the arctic. The two radio operatives. Bill Frank and Bruce Cameron were awarded a magic fur by an Eskimo and given three wishes. “Four on a Heath” was a serious tragedy whose effectiveness will he hard to equal in the future. The last play, “The Lost Elevator told of a heterogeneous group of people in an elevator that was caught between floors. The plays were very successful financially. The Dramatics Association procured again the use of the Northrop School auditorium and was thus saved the cost of rental. Even though ticket sales were not up to normal, the operating costs were kept down so that the plays produced a profit of about $200 for the publication hoard. This year the Dramatics Association planned a larger program than in any year previous. For the first time in the history of the Association a three-act production was planned for an all male cast. After the successful December presentations, work was started on “The Duke in Darkness” to lie given on March 6. The play was set in 16th century France during the Civil Wars, and concerned the attempts of the aged Duke of Laterraine and one of his loyal followers to escape from the castle in which they were imprisoned by the hostile Duke of Lamorre. These two men had been held captive for 15 years; and over this period they had lulled their captor’s vigilance to sleep by pretending the Duke was blind and feeble, and Griband, the servant, sick. Finally the Duke found a loyal follower among the guards, and with this outside help was able to make good his escape. Marsh Thomson gave a superlative performance as the Duke of Lateraine and Bill Frank portrayed excellently the evil Duke of Lamorre. However, the highlight of the evening was the part of Griband played by Alan Grossman. The knowledge and depth of emotion with which he port rayed the insane servant showed real acting ability. Alan established clearly the character of the servant and showed very convincingly the steps leading up to Gril and’s complete insanity. The very high level of performance exhibited by this play partly offsets the financial loss that it produced. 75 MIDDLE SCHOOL DRAMATICS Under the skillful coaching and direction of Mrs. Leone Nunan, the members of the first and second forms gave their annual Middle School Christmas Play. The presentation, entitled “The Gifts , filled the audience with the holiday spirit and was unusually well-received by the students, faculty, and guests. The plot of the well-known play has to do with a town whose people planned to present gifts to the Christ Child in a traditional manner. However, three prominent citizens with delusions of grandeur refused to let the ceremony take place. It took a hunchback and a railsplitter to convince the people of the importance of the gifts. Their faith was restored by the testimony of this pair, and the arrival of three wisemen completely convinced them that the presentation of the gifts must he held. Accompanying music was supplied by a choir of Lower School boys and the Glee Club. Principal parts were played by John Lampe. John Regan, John Hibbs, and Patrick Farnand, Edward Barry, Thomas Vennum, Burton Grossman, and John HetTelfmger. The holiday spirit was furthered by the unison singing of several Christmas carols by the audience and actors. CAMERA CLUB A new and popular organization was set up this year to accommodate the growing interest in photography shown throughout the school. Under the leadership of Mr. Runkle, the faculty adviser, many interesting programs have been offered to those interested in the business of taking pictures. The Club’s greatest accomplishment to this time, however, is the installation of a complete new darkroom for the use of its members. An excellent enlarger, a contact printer, and numerous other darkroom necessities were purchased by the school since Mr. Clapp has given his whole-hearted support to the activities of the club. Mr. Runkle has devoted a great deal of time, this first year, to the supervision of the younger boys working in the darkroom. Since the degree of knowledge and experience varies considerably between the older and the younger boys, the Club was separated into two groups, the Junior, and the Senior Camera Clubs. Members of the Senior Club were allowed to use the room alone after first proving themselves to be capable of the proper handling of supplies. The bovs used the darkroom considerably this year, but they also heard lectures and discussions on photographic techniques obtained by Mr. Runkle through the Eastman Kodak Company. Many of the pictures seen on display in the school were taken either by the members of the club or were obtained from Eastman. This Spring a series of prize-winning photographs from the contests held for other high school groups has been on display in the showcase. The pictures were sent by Eastman and were accompanied by detailed descriptions and analysis of each. In this way the members learned the basic principles of picture taking. The Camera Club has grown continually throughout the year so that at the present time its membership stands at between .30 and 40 boys. Interest will surely continue in this organization, and it will undoubtedly have an even more successful season next year. At this time the members of the CALL O’ PAN and TORCH staffs would like to show their extreme gratitude to Matt Loufek, who has acted in the capacity of Head Photographer. Matt has worked hard to improve the quality of the pictures displayed in the publications of the school. Matt lias taken all the pictures and has spent his valuable time in developing and printing them. It is no secret to anyone that the pictures of this year have been of a superior nature. This condition is due solely to Matt Loufek. 76 Back row: Sandberg. Grossman, Snyder, Helmick, I). Drill, Litfin, Scherer, Buffington, Reidluad, Raines, Woodward, Pugh.

WAITERS The daily task of waiting on tables during lunch at Blake was performed quite efficiently this year by members from the Upper School. Again there were three lunch periods, the Upper, Middle, and Lower School. Each of these j eriods had a student headwaiter, a staff of regular waiters, and a number of substitutes. The headwaiters this year were Bob Webb in the Upj er School. Mike Bosanko in the Middle School, and Don Wasie in the Lower School. The regular waiters receive their meals free, while the substitutes receive 60c a day for their services. The headwaiters each are paid 25c a day in addition to a free meal. The fcx d again was excellent, and in spite of increased costs. Miss Berglund has succeeded in keeping the price the same while still maintaining the same high standards. There is still much envy apparent among some ot the students as they see the waiter’s plates piled hitrh with food, while they receive more modest servings. Also, lxdng on goods terms with Martha, many of the staff have received three or four desserts a meal. The benefits of waiting are obvious when the amount of food received and the financial aid given each boy is taken into account. Miss Berglund’s choices for best waiters: Upt er School ................................Tom Helmick Middle School ........................................Ray Scherer Lower School.................................................Doug Freeman 77 ATHLETIC STORE Tin Athletic Store has been an important function in the school for many years. All sports equipment used throughout the year, for teams as a whole and individual students, is purchased from the store. For the past two years Marsh Thomson has been “behind the Cage, this last year as the manager, in charge of the whole enterprize. Assisting him have been John Hallenberg, who will take over the head position next fall, and John Colwell, who began learning the ropes in the latter part of the year. With last year’s poor record hampering it, the store got off to a bad start this year, but the situation was quietly and efficiently remedied with the aid of Mr. Phillips, as new indexing, inventory, and pricing systems were inaugurated. The thieving problem this year has been kept to a minimum, and the season promises to be a successful one. Although it is still not as easy as before the war to purchase supplies for the store, all types of goods are becoming increasingly more obtainable, and the Aldritt Company continues to supply Blake with the majority of its equipment. The Athletic Store will continue to supply the school with its equipment. SECOND HAND BOOK STORE A small but vital part of the great organization of Blake is the Second Hand Book Store. Over its four years of existence the business of the organization has steadily increased and it is now recognized as an important part in the life of Blake. In the Spring, the Book Store buys books from students to resell them to the incoming classes of the next year at a price far under the cost of new l ooks. The stock issued by the Corporation can be purchased by students and faculty and pays a ten per cent dividend on the investment. Each spring, at a meeting of the Stockholders, the budget of the past year is approved, the dividends are paid, the officers for the next year are elected, and the policies for the next year are determined. This year the Book Store again proved very successful and has greatly aided the student body in the purchase of books cheaply. We hope that the organization may continue to help the school in years to come. Wayne Linman .......................................President Richard Hutchinson ................................Treasurer John Selover .................................Vice President Donald Winston .....................................Secretary PRESS CLUB The Press Club is the most obscure and yet one of the most important of the many Blake organizations. The function of the Press Club is to handle ah Blake publicity in the Minneapolis newspapers. The largest proportion of material covered by the club is athletic news, hut many social events are also reported during the year. In the winter term the student representative often finds it necessary to make daily trips to the newspapers because of the volume of sports coverage needed for the hockey, swimming, and basketball teams. Bill Horn was the senior member of the Press Club this year. He was assisted during the spring term by Tom Jamieson, who will assume full duties next year. Mr. Calt served as faculty advisor, planning the coverage and reporting school social events. Mr. Phillips gave assistance as athletic counselor. 78 Standing: Heard, Webb, Leslie. Seated: Hutchinson, Cameron, Helniick, Loufek. CUM LAUDE The annual Cum Laude dinner was held on the evening of May 19th to initiate seven members of the senior class to membership in the society; they are. listed alphabetically, Archibald Heard, Hruce Cameron. Thomas Helniick. Richard Hutchinson. James Ix-slie, Matthew Loufek, and Robert Webb. These Ixiys richly deserve this honor, for each has maintained consistently high averages throughout his high school career. It is interesting to note the long list of accomplishments, in connection with each candidate, in sports and extra-curricular activities in addition to his scholastic achievements. Four of the boys made at least one letter in varsity sports, while all of the boys are particularly active in Glee Club. Dramatics, etc. Four boys also are members of the Publications Hoard, while the other two are also mainstays in the staff. The sj eaker of the occasion, to which many fathers of the new members and numerous former members were invited, was Mr. John Peterson of Cargill, Inc., who spoke in a most interesting manner about scientific research. It might Ik- well to mention a few words about the nature of the Cum Laude society. The organization is nation-wide in scope and has chapters in a number of the lietter-known preparatory schools of the country. Each year certain lioys and girls are elected to membership from the graduating class of each school that has membership in the society. The students are admitted on a basis of scholarship and character, so the Cum Laude society corresponds quite nearly to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in college. The organization was founded in 1906 to reward and encourage high-ranking students, but Blake did not Income a member until Feb. 12. 1927. Since then, however, the society here at Blake has had its ranks filled with fine, outstanding men. 79 HONORARY MEMBERS Dr. LeRoy Arnold John Crosby Harold H. Hodgkinson ’14 Herbert G.

As in previous years Mr. Glenn read an unusually line selection of stories at the homes of various students on every other Sunday night. A total of three meetings were held, and a very satisfying number attended every meeting. The first Short Story Club was held at the home of Archie Beard and it ushered in the new year’s program with two stories. The one that caused the most reaction was “Alibi Ike,” by King Lardner. a riotous narrative about a baseball player and his unfortunate alibis. The customary refreshments brought the meeting to a close, and twenty-two boys left the Beard household in eager anticipation of the next gatherings. On the Sunday nights of February 8th and 29th, two more meetings were held. The first one. held at Bill Gamble's house, provided a mystic atmosphere with a program of a mystery and a startling detective story. The second was held at Fritz Drill's house. Its well-rounded program of three short stories proved one of the most interesting to the attentive listeners who crowded the floor. It was unanimously considered a most fitting conclusion to the '47-'48 season. All in all. the year was a complete success, and thanks should be extended to Mr. Glenn and the various hosts for their generosity in making the meetings possible. DANCES The annual dances at Blake are probably the favorite outside activity. This year the program of dances has been very successful, and a great number of such social events have appeared on the calendar. Last year’s Junior-Senior Prom turned out to he a gala occasion for all. as the couples danced to the rhythmic strains of Bruce Dybvig and his popular band. Topping otT a successful Homecoming Day against Shattuck. the Football Dance was held in the Library. Cokes were on hand for refreshment, and the dance was terminated at twelve after an evening of pleasant dancing to the music of Dick Schwappach's band. A second fall dance took place after the Pembroke game in honor of the boys from Kansas City. An enjoyable time was had by ail dancing to records supplied by “Rosy Gamble. The annual forma! Christmas Dance on December 19 was one of the most successful dances held at Blake in a long time. Eddie Boikie's band with the popular singer. John Bergland, played to a very enthusiastic crowd, which {Kicked the floor of the newly completed fieldhouse. Martha’s famous {much served as refreshment during the intermission. The dance committee is to Ik congratulated on a very fine dance. A Publications Dance was also held during the winter term in order to provide funds for this CALL O' PAX. On Friday, March 19. the Spring Dance a la Grossman and Hommever took place in the library, and an unusually large crowd attended. Cokes were served, and again Dick Schwappach furnished the music. This year's J. S. has again been set for Woodhill on June 5. the Saturday following the Commencement Exercises. 81 PUBLIC SPEAKING The importance in every day life of the ability to speak clearly and effectively has come to complete recognition at Blake at last. Although this course has always been included in the curriculum, only in the last few years has any effective work l een done to make the course worth the time of the student. Mr. Jones has finally brought public speaking instruction up to the level of other Blake subjects. The development and present effectiveness of the course is a fine tribute to the effort put forth by Mr. Jones and is the most beneficial change in the curriculum of the school in the last few years. The most prominent application in Blake of the public speaking training is in the speeches made by each Junior and Senior with the entire school as the audience. Since Seniors arc required to make two speeches a year and the Juniors one. every boy at Blake speaks at least three times before the school. The best speaker in each class receives a prize at the end of the year. I ast year these prizes went to Charles Hale of the Senior class and Bruce Cameron of the Junior class. During the year many declamation contests are held each employing a sjiecial field of public speaking. The Williams Theme contest requires the Seniors to read original compositions before the school. Gian Luigi Berehielli and Jim Leslie placed first and second respectively in the contest this year. The Thorpe Cup Contest is a test of extemporaneous speaking. The contestants are given forty minutes to prepare a given topic on some aspect of the development of the State of Minnesota. This year Bruce Cameron placed first while Jim Leslie took honorable mention. Middle School public speaking was handled this year by Mrs. Nunan whose fine work is reflected each year in the Christmas Play and the Wilson Cup Contest. This year Tom Vennum won first place in this contest and Burt Grossman was awarded Honorable Mention, Many comments have been made alwnit the general improvement in public speaking at Blake and thus it is only fitting that Mr. Jones and Mrs. Nunan be given credit for their efforts in this field.

Winston.........................1st Vice President Mrs. Paul Bosanko.................................2nd Vice President Mrs. Richard C. Raines.....................................Secretary Mrs. Chester J. Neumeier...................................Treasurer This year has been comparatively quiet for the Mothers’ association. Our first duty was to find hosts for the thirty-one hoys and three coaches from the Pembroke Country Day School of Kansas City, coining here to play football against Flake. This was easily done with the helpful cooperation of many Hlake mothers. The executive committee also provided chaj erones for the school dances. As in past years the form dinners proved a great success. The hostesses for these dinners were the following mothers: Sixth form....................................Mrs. A. H.

Sandberg Second form................................Mrs. P. L. Farnand First form.................................Mrs. E. W. Yeates Mrs. Frank Leslie is chairman of the decorating committee; Mrs. Carson Jamieson is chairman of the nominating committee. At our annual meeting we hope once again to give a one-half scholarship for the school next year. I wish to thank the officers, Mr. Clapp, Miss Berglund, and all the Mothers for their help to me this year. 83 Helen M. Sclover—President Back row: Norton, Reidhead. Front row: Mr. Phillips, Aurand, Mr. Cleveland. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Every boy at Blake is a member of the A. A. Each year the officers for the preceding year are elected. These officers perform several duties. First of all, the Football and the Hockey-Swimming-Basketball banquets are planned by them, and they are responsible for the securing of toastmasters for these occasions. The budgets for the various athletic teams are decided upon by the organization's officers, the team captains, and the coaches. They are then presented to the entire membership and approved. There has been one meeting held to date, in which the budget was approved by the student l ody. All business concerning athletics must be handled through the A. A., the athletic director, Mr. Phillips, or Mr. Cleveland, the treasurer. With the remodeled field house ready for use this year, a decided change was noticed in the winter schedule. Basketball was raised to a minor sport level, thus adding a considerable sum to the budget for '47 and 48. Basketball also took several members from the hockey and swimming teams. The school is going to have more trouble in years to come in order to support three outstanding sj orts in the winter. The field house is also set up for various other activities besides basketball. A regulation size tennis court has been installed for indoor tennis on rainy days. Also an excellent boxing ring and wrestling mat have been purchased for Brown and White competition. For poor baseball days a large canvas has been installed to allow unrestricted practice in pitching, catching, etc. New bleachers have also t een purchased along with a new game clock for the benefit of the basketball sj ectators. This year has proven that without a doubt the new field house was a worthwhile venture. OFFICERS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.......................MR.

FOOTBALL After dropping the first game of the 1947 season to De La Salle, the State Catholic Champs, the Blake gridders came back like veterans to win the remaining 7 games and in doing so, to rack up 187 points to the opponents 12. Although Coaches Bill Glenn and Chief Wonson had only three regulars from the 1946 team and five other lettermen around which to mold a team, they soon developed a powerhouse that was actually unstoppable. Under the leadership of Co-captains Fritz Drill and Dave Hickok and Williams Trophy winner Buck Linman the club combined fundamentals, hard-work, and a whole-hearted team spirit to become one of the l est coordinated, hardest hitting football clubs in the school's history. Many considered this to be the ln-st team ever to represent Blake School. Every game uncovered a new star as Blake crushed one team after another. The 1947 football team will not soon Ik forgotten. BLAKE 0 DE LA SALLE 14 This game was unfortunately played under undesirable conditions in the form of a driving rain storm. With only one returning regular in her line Blake could not withstand the strength of the polished De La Salle forward wall. And although neither team made long gains on the ground, the Catholic Champs continued to pound the line all afternoon with tricky reverses. One long aerial toss from Linman to Drill was the only appreciable aeri .l gai: At the half the score was 0 to 14. During the second half the Blake defense tighlen d. and the game developed into a defensive battle with the score remaining 0 to 14. 88 BLAKE 28 DEEPHAVEN 0 Again the weather was unfavorable for football with the mercury standing at 95 . However, the team came hack from the defeat a week before, and the line began to work as a unit. Blake opened the Deephaven defense wide as she scored twice through the air and twice on the ground, although the victory was unimpressive. BLAKE 21 MOUND 6 The ice had been broken the week before with Deephaven, and the Bears were now on the prowl. The game was played at Mound under the lights, a new experience to most of the team. Nevertheless, the eleven men from Blake were now just one team, and the Mound hacktield, whether running or passing, never got their feet under them. Blake scored twice on the ground and once in the air. Blake admirers now began to open their eyes. BLAKE 34 SHATTUCK 6 This game was one that the entire Blake squad was out to win. This condition developed because of the humiliating defeat of the year before. One of the largest Homecoming crowds ever to watch Blake football was on hand to see the Bruins shatter the Shads with an unrelcntless barrage of passes and line-bucking. Shattuck scored in the early minutes of the first quarter. After that the game was all Blake’s with Shattuck never crossing the mid-field. Precision of timing, hard hitting. and hard tackling amazed onlookers as Blake racked up another win. BLAKE 34 PEMBROKE 0 This game was played on a Saturday afternoon before another good sized crowd. The whole game was a one sided affair with Blake ripping holes one after the other in the Pern line. Since the ground attack was functioning smoothly, there was no need for a passing attack. The Blake Powerhouse was unstoppable. Team spirit was high and everyone knew it had to he high, for lack of it was the only weapon which could heat Blake at this time. BLAKE 20 ST. PAUL ACADEMY 0 Jinxed with bad weather Blake played another game in a driving rain storm. Naturally, the attack was slowed down considerably, but the impassable forward wall and the terrifying Blake hackfield proved to Ik too much for the St. Paulites. Blake was in possession of the hall throughout most of the game, and thwarted by the slippery field, neither team was able to score much. BLAKE 20 PILLSBURY 0 The game at Owatonna was one of the toughest contests of the season. But Blake’s line again proved its value by lettering Pillsbury until the home team finally hacked up. Two of the touchdowns were made on the ground while the third was scored on a long pass. With only one remaining game Blake was in fine shape, physically and spiritually. It was a pleasure to watch this terrific machine in action, and everyone was certain of the outcome of the final game. BLAKE 30 LAKE FOREST 0 Blake hit its peak in the LEA game at Chicago. Once again the entire squad was out to avenge a licking the 1946 team had taken. The physical heating of a year ago was still vivid in the minds of many of the players. Because of a strong wind l assing was impossible, hut at the same time it was proven to lie unnecessary. The ground attack with the line leading the way and the hackfield always hard behind, made a game that twenty-three 1948 Blake lettermen will never forget. 8Q Dave Ifickok—An All-Blake football player; an extraordinary captain.

Front row: Holmgren. Aurand, Bruzek. Drill, Captain Adams, Crawford, Reidhead, Scherer. HOCKEY Although adverse weather conditions kept the 1948 hockey team off the ice a good deal this year, the team, led by Captain Harry Adams, gave a creditable showing in all its contests. The Perk-men were indeed fortunate to be led by so able a hockey player as Adams. Harry is the best player the school has seen on the local rinks for sometime. In only 11 games he scored 24 points. 'Phis is the second highest individual scoring record held at Blake. Gordie Ritz '44 netted 28 points, in a longer season. For his able leadership and outstanding ability Harry was awarded the Dartmouth Trophy. Besides Harry there were only Scherer, Reidhead, and Drill returning from last year’s squad. From this small nucleus a team was molded that produced eight victories, two ties, and one loss. Perhaps the unusual aspect of this year’s team was the presence of several Freshmen and Sophomores in the lineup. Crosby, Ankeny, and Boos played outstanding hockey all year on the second line. These boys together with Scherer, and Reidhead will be threats on the ice next year. In the first game of the season Blake defeated Minneapolis Central 4 to 1. The team showed definite signs of greatness in this first tilt. However, in the next two games the team was hard pressed and turned out two ties. The first deadlock occurred against Cretin. The Blake team started the scoring and led 4 to 2 in the second i eriod. Cretin came back under the Sack brothers and scored three goals in the final period. Boos saved the day for Blake with a long shot which tied the score at 5 apiece. An overtime failed to produce a tally. The St. Paul Johnson game ended in a 3 to 3 tie with Adams and Reidhead sharing scoring honors. 96 The humility of two consecutive tics was soon forgotten after the Southwest game. Early in the first period a Southwest defenseman tallied from the blue line. At that time the eventual outcome looked doubtful. However, the Bears, led by goalgetting Captain Adams, dominated the contest from then on. Adams scored the unbelievable total of four goals to boost his point lead considerably. The game ended 5 to 1 with Drill getting the fifth and the final counter. The next and perhaps the most phenomenal game occurred against the Carle-ton freshmen. The squad entered the arena with the idea of playing hard, fast hockey in the role of underdogs. However, this turned out to lx a false lx lief. The third line netted the first three goals within 3 minutes. Adams and Aurand each pulled the hat trick and the team led 5 to 0 going into the second j eri xi. Here the force continued as five more goals were scored in the second ix-riod with Adams, Scherer. Reidhead, and Leslie sharing the honors. The Carls tallied once in the third while Blake added three more to end the game at 13 to 1. Edison faced the Blake six next and went down 5 to 4 in a hard fought contest. Reidhead cinched the game for Blake by completing the hat trick in the closing seconds of the game. West was then added to the string of vanquished by a score of 3 to 0. This game was the second shutout for the Blake aggregation, and it was perhaps the most hard fought game of the year. This game was typical of many of the hockey contests this year. The games have been moderately rough and yet few penalties have been necessary. Whatever ( enalties there were have l ecn charged to the defensemen. The linemen with the exception of the hard-skating Adams rarely ex-jx?rienced time in the “Sin Bin. The netmen's only loss was at the hands of Cretin. A string of 17 wins was snapped by a score of 6 to 4. Cretin, led by the Sack Brothers, skated hard throughout the entire game and managed to maintain the lead throughout. Blake’s defensive play was exceptionally weak in this crucial game. The team quickly avenged the Cretin loss by defeating Roosevelt 5 to 1. The freshman line which had been dormant as far as scoring was concerned for the last three games broke into the scoring column with two goals. Crosby netted one unassisted. and a combination of right-wing Ankeny and Crosby creased the nets for the other. St. Thomas climaxed the season. The ice was in bad shape, hut the players were not. The Blake team came out on the long end of a count by a 2 to 0 margin. The weather and certain schedule difficulties made it impossible to play S.P.A. this year. The team wishes to extend its thanks to Coach Perk Galbraith for devoting his time and effort for its benefit. Without his guidance the squad would not have been able to turn in a record such as it did this year. Perk’s coaching was superb and deserves to lx mentioned time and time again.

BASKETBALL This season the basketball team experienced the reality of playing on its own home floor after an interim of twenty four years. Through Coach Lundholni's efforts, Blake was able to floor a team capable of giving a good fight to any comparable team in the state. However, the squad was never able to play good ball consistently, and ended the season with a record of five wins and ten losses. On December 9 the Bears initiated their new floor by scoring an easy triumph over Osseo by the score of 56 to 24. The winner’s fast break bewildered their opponents, and the outcome was never in doubt. Following the first win, a string of losses ensued. The initial defeat was at the hands of Wayzata, 33 to 26, in the first night basketball of the season. After a Christmas vacation lay off. the home quintet lost to a fast and powerful Deephaven squad, 41 to 26. As Blake became fatigued, the Wolves sped up. and again the winners iced the game in the third canto, outscoring the Bruins 12 to 3. Hank Norton played his usual consistent game, garnering 17 of the 26 points, as Buck Unman held high scoring Dahlbloom to one bucket. The Hilltoppers lost their next game in a 33 to 35 thriller to Concordia on the Comets’ floor. Sparked by the fine aggressive play of center Marsh Thomson, the hoopsters jumped to an early lead and were safely ahead 16 to 10 at halftime. The third quarter jinx didn't materialize, as Blake led at the three quarter mark 27 to 24. Following Unman’s and Allen’s ejections via five fouls, the Hill-toppers’ defense completely folded. Thomson’s free throw in the final minute, tying the game 33 to 33. was overriden by Zobel’s desperation hook shot which put the Comets ahead by two slim points. The buckateers next went down in ignominious defeat in their next contest at S.P.A. by a 24 to 20 count. Unaccustomed to the small Acad floor, Blake was unable to make l cst use of its fast break. Their set offense was also quite ineffective. 98 Mr. Offense Mr. Defense Tired of losing, the Bears pulled their first upset by defeating highly rated Wa-conia 48 to 41. Displaying more fight and determination, the locals took a commanding lead at the end of the first period. However, the VVaconia lads came hack into the hall game, and the half ended all tied up at 26 to 26. The unexpected Bruin pressing defense and set offensive did the trick, as Blake finally took a secure lead which was protected by an effective stall. The return game with Osseo proved to he closer than the first, blit, showing the improved hallhandling and general floor-work which they displayed against Waconia, the Blakesters won 44 to 31. After scoring 12 points. Unman was sidelined with a knee injury which benched him for the next four contests. Missing Unman, the squad journeyed to Minnehaha where their win string was snapped 51 to 39. The Hilltoppers were definitely in the game until the Indians’ final quarter spurt wore Blake down. Norton showed that he could make 'em with the aid of his glasses just as well as without by racking up 18 counters in the dark gym. The nadir of Blake’s season came in the Watertown and Excelsior games. The games ended in 57 to 33 and 43 to 30 losses for the Bruins. Blake next encountered Mound, region 18 runner-up, and was toppled by its classy antagonist. Although Mound showed more all round ability, Blake kept even with the I.ake Conference team throughout the first quarter. Although the Kedmen possessed a decisive half time lead. Blake rallied in the third quarter. The rally subsided atid Mound won by the respectable score of 49 to 38. Four days later the five had a chance to seek revenge on Minnehaha. An upset was in the making with only one period to go, with Blake leading 37 to 30. Tiring, the Bruins attempted a stall which was completely ineffective. Following Allen's removal on five fouls, Minnehaha started a terrific offensive rally which Blake was unable to cope with. The final score was 44 to 39 for the Kedmen of Minnehaha. The Brown and White next lost to Southwest in a slow and dull game 32 to 34. Anyway it was dull for three periods and six minutes. Blake (Norton) then put on a great rally which fell two points short. In the last quarter the score was Southwest 1, Norton 11. High praise must go to Captain Hank Norton who led the team all year. He not only led the team well, but was high scorer in every game, garnering 262 points in 15 games. He was praised by all coaches and we think Blake will wait a long time to see his equal. Steadiest man on the squad was Buck Unman who was always the man designated to guard the opposing high scorer, no matter how tall he was. His guarding was phenomenal, as was his ability in bringing the ball up the floor and his valuable long shots or lay ups. Commendation also goes to seniors Ted Allen. Marsh Thomson and Tom Colwell, who played well all season. Johnny Clark, Bill Pearson, Dick Kadcmacher and John Selover round out the squad of lettermen. BUCK UNMAN 99 Hack row: Bosanko (mgr.), Krogness, Hvmes, J. Wittenberg, T. Wittenberg, P. Hommeyer, Coach Hartmann. Front row: C. Hommeyer, Brown, Gamble, Captain Larson, Wasie, Hickok, Beard, Dalgleish. SWIMMING Although the 1947-48 swimming team failed to extend the previous year’s win streak, it nevertheless made an excellent showing. Johnny Hartmann gathered together the remnants of the su| erior team and molded it into a formidable force. With the state’s best coaching and a team with the will-to-win spirit, the tankers achieved an enviable goal this season. The record was eleven victories and two defeats in dual meets, and the annexation of the title of State A.A.U. Champions. The season started off with crushing defeats over South and Southwest. From the swimmers form in these meets a hope for an undefeated season arose. Two newcomers. Jim Wittenberg and George Krogness, helped strengthen this desire, for they showed promising ability. They participated in victorious relay teams and raced each other in the 40 yard free style. With the help of several veterans these two contests were salted away. In the next meet the squad squeezed by Cretin by the score of 38 to 37. The score is deceiving though, because of touchouts and ties. Dalgleish, Wasie, and Captain Larson pulled through with firsts, while the rest of the team gathered up most of the seconds and thirds. Captain Larson 100 With three victories under its belt the squad began to feel its oats. But tin tankers were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by St. Thomas. Since the Toms had waited several years to pluck this feather for their cap. they were ready to lead the lambs to slaughter. The turns in the unfamiliar pool seemed to trouble the team, although slow swimming was the main reason for their poor showing. Sobered by the defeat the swimmers were determined to keep a clean slate for the rest of the schedule and to defeat the Tommies in their return engagement. The self-made promise was kept, for seven successive victories were recorded on the tally card. They were in order Roosevelt. Edison, Winona, West, St. Paul Johnson, Cretin, and Minneapolis Central. In these contests the natators set down some rather speedy times such as Krogness' :21 seconds in the 40 yard free style against Winona, Hickok’s 1 :01 in the 100 yard free style against Central, and Wasie’s 1 :09.2 in the backstroke against Roosevelt. Other important point winners were Captain Kleggie Larson with six firsts in seven meets, Hommeyer with seven firsts, and Dalgleish with five. The relay team of Hommeyer, Hickok. Krogness, and Wittenberg went undefeated during this string of victories; while the medley of Dalgleish. Wasie, and Hickok succuml ed only to Edison. Xext Blake and North, City champions, swam a very close and exciting meet, with the Polars coming out on the long end of a 38 to 37 count. Following Hom-meyer's third in the 40, Doug Dalgleish and Tim Brown took first and third, respectively, in the 100 yard breaststroke. Buck Hommeyer then retaliated with a second in the 220. and was followed by Wasie and Beard taking the top two places in the 100 yard backstroke. Dave Hickok turned in his best time of the year in the next event, the 100 yard free style, as Krogness rallied to finish a close second. After I .arson lost the diving to two of the best men in Minneapolis, the final score rested only on the outcome of the relay and medley. The Blake medley managed to win easily, but the relay team lost, thus giving the Northside squad a 38 to 37 victory. Blake’s final dual meet was against St. Thomas, who won their first encounter with the Bruins. But the Brown and White were “up for this meet and decisively avenged their first loss with a terrific 50 to 25 win. Following the regular season the natators copj ed second place in the St. Thomas Invitational. In addition the Blake men won the High School division of the Minnesota State A.A.U. meet in the Cooke Hall jxx l. Finally at the athletic lianquet C � ach Hartmann, the lxacklxme of Blake swimming, awarded the Guy Thomas trophy to Dave Hickok and the Arthur trophy to Don Wasie. The high point men and those who will l e most missed next year are Hickok, Wasie, Dalgleish, Larson, Beard, and Gamble. RESULTS Blake, 56; South, 19. Blake, 55; West. 19. Blake. 46; Southwest, 29.

Front row: Thompson, Drill, Loufek. Linman, Re id head, Scherer, Hickok. BASEBALL The baseball practice opened early this year with some pre-season warm up in the field house. Through adequate lighting and canvas walls the field house lost much of its notoriety for black eyes and bruises from passed balls. There were four returning lettermen on which Coach Wonson based the team; they were Hickok behind the plate. Linman on short, Reidhead in left field, and Scherer in center. After this, the positions were hotly contested for. It ended up with Skoglund on first, Loufek on third, Drill on second, and Thompson in right field. The pitching staff consisted of Wells and Clark. Clark was a relief pitcher for the Wayzata Legion last summer. He developed some good stuff and is developing even faster this year. In their first contest the Bruins eked out a 6 to 5 victory over Wayzata in an eight inning affair. This first game saw an inexperienced Blake team begin to work together. Captain Linman was laid up with a cold, so Loufek was on short and Selover on second. It was a see-saw affair all the way, and Blake got the winning run in the top half of the eighth. Clark pitched a fine game, and pulled off a fine double play on a line drive. Blake had a good stay at the plate for the first game by smashing out 8 hits. On April 20 a mediocre St. Thomas team turned down Blake by 4 to 1. The Hilltoppers had their worst day. committitng a total of 4 errors and only two base hits. St. Thomas' attack wasn’t strong, and it was definitely an unearned victory. 102 On the 24th, Blake was rained out of a game that might well have proved a very tough contest. Cretin had a great many Christie de Parcq Legion players who had been on the State championship team. The Hilltoppers had little trouble with a weak Southwest team, beating them 7 to 2. Southwest committed 3 errors which helped the Blake cause considerably, and the decision was clear after the fifth inning. Clark turned in an excellent day on the mound, while his teammates connected for three double plays to set Southwest down whenever they had a chance to score. The 30th found another rainout with Minnehaha. No advance details about their strength was available. May 5 saw the Bruins stealing a 10 to 2 victory over Concordia of the Minnesota Private School League. The last inning was productive for eight tallies for the alert Bears. Wells pitched for six innings. This was Rog's first appearance on the mound for the Blake team, and he made a fine showing. He yielded only 5 hits to the weaker team. Loufek smashed out three for four to lead the attack. CAPTAIN WAYNE UNMAN The traditional S.P.A. tilt was held across the river this year, and it resulted in a 4 to 1 defeat of the Hilltoppers. A home run by Frenzel accounted for two of the S.P.A. runs, and a triple on an error by Ray Scherer accounted for another run. The Bruins were plagued with hard luck all the way. The next inning Wayne Linman hit a nice line drive but the short-stop, who was out of position, s|x ared it. The bases were loaded, and it was an easy double play to retire the sides. This cost Blake 3 runs. Then, in the last inning, a sharp line drive off the bat of Reidhead was snagged by the S.P.A. second baseman on the shortstop side of the second l ase. This cost Blake another two runs. S.P.A. did not win easily, however, and the game was in question all the time. As we go to press now, five games remain for Wonson’s Wonderboys. For an inexperienced club, they have produced more than exacted. Linman and Hickok have shown a fine record as expected, and “Cap'n Carl” has secured a l erth on the Hopkins town team for the summer. Clark has improved steadily, and should l e a fine steady for future Blake teams. Skoglund has put up a fine show at first base, while Loufek and Drill each took over new jobs, and handled them well. The only thing to be wished is better hitting, but granted this, Blake can roll through its last five games with good results. In all probability, the season will end up in a slightly better than average record. 103 Mr. Cleveland, Cameron, Rogers. Atwater, Holmgren, Norton, Aurand, Boos. Leslie, Ankeny. TENNIS This year as in the past years, the Blake tennis team has begun its season defending an undefeated record in high school competition. Also, the question has been raised as to the possibility of a third undefeated season. And again this year Mr. Cleveland has come up with a team which, in the present stage of the season, looks capable of maintaining its record of invincibility. The only blemish on the record of the last three year's tennis team at Blake was the defeat at the hands of the Carleton Freshmen team. Playing its first nine match meet of its history, Blake lost five matches to four. In this meet Blake won three of its first five matches which it is accustomed to play, but could not muster enough strength and so lost three of the next four matches. This year’s team started out in its first match against St. Thomas with Capt. Hank Norton, unbeaten in two years of match play, leading with the number one position, Henry Adams, undefeated last year, in number two, and Fritz Boos, a newcomer, playing the third position. Norton went his usual winning way in straight sets and Boos won handily. Adams, however, had to default because of a football injury in his leg. Thus the number two man was lost for the rest of the season. Norton and Boos then teamed up to take the number one doubles, but darkness closed in on Leslie and Atwater, playing numlier two doubles, and a default was called by Blake with the score of the last match standing at one set apiece. Thus the meet ended with the score Blake 3 and St. Thomas 2. 104 With Adams out, the future dimmed for the prospects of an undefeated season, but Mr. Cleveland moved Boos to the second position and Bruce Cameron at number three for the coming match with Deephaven. In this match the three singles competition was finished off with Blake taking all three in two sets. Cal Aurand and George Krogness were then delegated to play first doubles, and “Drip” Holmgren and Pete Ankeny, second doubles. These last two combinations were unsuccessful and Blake won 3 to 2. The third match with Southwest was the first major hurdle for the team. Only one and a half points behind Blake in the last Northwest Interscholastic Tournament. they boasted the number one ranking player in the Northwest Lawn Tennis association rankings. However, the singles lineup of Norton, Boos, and Cameron were again successful in two set matches. Ankeny and Rogers, playing second doubles took Blake’s fourth point. But Leslie and Krogness. playing number one doubles, dropped the match to make the final score 4 to I. The team has many matches to look ahead to, and the rematch with Southwest is bound to be bitterly contested, but Coach Cleveland seems to have found another undefeatable combination. This is the last year for Captain Norton who has played on the team since his first year at Blake four years ago. Mr. Cleveland ranks him as one of the l est players ever to come to Blake and his three years undefeated record illustrates his accuracy. Having accomplished this tennis “impossibility of winning a match set irr 24 points last year and having defeated the Northwest Junior Champion this year, there seem to be no heights left for Hank Norton to attain as a Junior Men's Contestant. With such a man to lead the team, the outlook is good for Blake to continue its present record against high school competition of 45 victories and no defeats. r CAPTAIN NORTON Blake ....

GOLF The call for golfers this year brought out the largest group of divot-diggers in the history of Blake’s golf team. In the turnout were three lettermen Berchielli, Captain Colwell, and Larson. With these three, there were many other promising players, including Xeu-nieier, Page, Hymes, Webb, Cohen, and Boise, who rounded out the Minikahda squad under Mr. Glenn’s most able coaching. In their first match, the Blakesters met a strong St. Louis Park team, and were defeated 7 to 5. Berchielli gave the highly touted Ludvigson a tough going, and was able to garner ] 2 a point. Colwell won 2, and Page gained the remaining 1V2 to complete the match, which was in doubt until the end. CAPT. COLWELL The second match brought more cheerful results, as Blake put together four good scores, and defeated a strong University High team, 8J4 to 3y . Again. Berchielli was matched with one of the Twin Cities l etter golfers. hut John battled until the end, gaining j j of a point. Colwell beat Strauss, and Larson defeated Doyle. Xeumeier, a newcomer, showed his strong potentialities by winning his match. Blake’s third match was with a mediocre Wayzata team. The outcome was 12 to 0, with Berchielli shooting a sparkling 82. The last match before printing was with De La Salle. Berchielli won x 2 of a |x int, and Colwell rallied to pick up three points. In two close matches, [.arson won 2 points, and Xeumeier. shooting an 88. gained three. The team contains no stars, hut is a well-grounded group, which will undoubtedly give all their opjxments a good battle. And the more distant future is not dim either, for such boys as Xeumeier, Page, Hymes, Cohen, and Boise ought to make a strong team for the coming year. 106 Rack row: Hallenberg (mgr.), Snyder, Davidson.

FOOTBALL This year’s Junior Varsity football team was in many ways one of the most versatile that Pete Parks has put on the field. Aside from winning all its games, great teamwork and spirit was exhibited by Seniors and Freshmen alike. The versatile backfield showed plenty of speed, power, and passing ability. The line was always important in clearing the way for the runners, and several remarkable pass catchers were developed, particularly John Skoglund. The team was formed around seniors, Slocum, Freeman, Brown, Helmick, Wittenberg, and Captain Norton, although many freshmen added a great sjKirk to the team. In the season's opener the Bears came from behind to defeat the St. Thomas B team 26 to 13. A tough Mound team was by-pased 12 to 0. followed by a victory over Hopkins, 20 to 0. Blake again came from behind to out-fight St. Louis Park by the score of 20 to 7. The team seemed to relax against Minnehaha Academy, but managed to win by a margin of 25 to 13. In a spectacular climax to the competitive season the J. V.’s bowled over S.P.A., 25 to 0. to remain undefeated. Such J. V. stars as Lowe, Corbett, Crosby, Bingham, and Drill should l e a great help in forming winning varsity teams in the future. The excellent coaching of Mr. Parks was again a great factor in the success of this, his fourth undefeated team. J. V. HOCKEY The Junior Varsity hockey season was not particularly successful, since only three victories were produced from eight games. The early season showed considerable lack of teamwork and coordination l etween players. Two games with Cretin and one each with St. Paul Johnson and Roosevelt resulted in losses. A loss to St. Louis Park was followed by a win over West and an amazing string of two victories was reached by defeating Southwest 3 to 2. The season was ended on a glorious note by means of a victory over Park 3 to 1. Pete Rogers was high scorer for the Glennmen with eight points, and was followed closely by Bob Palm. Goalie Dick Larson was sensational in the nets, although he was sidelined for a few games with an injury. 109 Hack row: Coach Parks, Nash, Leek, Winston, Berghuis, Ringland (mgr.). Front row: Jones, Brantinghatn, Corbett, Skoglund, Harris, Snyder. J. V. BASKETBALL Pete Parks, coach of the undefeated J. V. football team, switched sports last winter becoming Junior Varsity and frosh basketball instructor, and made another excellent show on the hardwood. His J.V , made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores, dropped only two close contests, while the freshman team was unbeaten. Concentrating on setting up their giant center, John Skoglund, the little Hears defeated such formidable opposition as the Hopkins, Watertown, Waconia, Osseo, and Minnehaha Junior Varsities. Their closest win came at Osseo when pivotman Skoglund potted a bucket to break a tie with only twenty seconds remaining, surging them ahead 22 to 20. In the Excelsior contest the J. V. demonstrated a very effective zone defense, as they limited their adversaries to only one basket in the first half. The Frosh included many of the Lake Conference teams. Southwest, and Edina on their list of vanquished, many of the games being thrillers. Along with his tremendous center, Parks counted on Hill Jones and Jud Snyder for most of the scoring, as the pair frequently hit in the double figures. These two players also did a good job of setting up Skoglund for a hook shot in the hole as well as drawing out the defense with timely long shots. Scrappiest members of the aggregation were Larry Corbett and Louie Harris. In fact at Minnehaha Louie got a little too aggressive and was carried off the floor with a twisted ankle. Robbie Nash and Bill Herghuis, the steadiest man on the squad, frequently came through with some well earned field goals. With this outstanding talent Mr. Lundholm should be able to mold a top notch club by 1950. 110 BOXING Division Champion Runner-Up Flyweight John Colwell John Cardie Featherweight Bruce Sandberg Jim Ringland Bantamweight Larry Boies Bill Mullin Lightweight Louie Harris Pete Ankeny Middleweight Joe Murphy Roger Wells Welterweight Bruce Cameron Ray Scherer Light Heavyweight George Krogness Ted Allen 11eavy weight Fritz Drill Jim Slocum The Annual Brown and White Boxing Tournament was held on March 11 in the field house with the two rivals lighting to a draw. This year with all tin new fashions, the boxing ring also had the new look. In fact, the new ring, which can he set up and taken down very easily, gave a professional atmosphere and appear-ance to the fights. The ring was regulation in every respect. It had the three ro|x s inclosing the ring and a fine new mat. All the fighters were in good condition and were under the fine tutelage of Johnny Tillman. In the flyweight division John Colwell showed that experience comes in handy. For his second year as a flyweight he showed better footwork and endurance in decisioning John Cardie. Cardie started out fairly strong but couldn’t continue the pace. In the next bout Sandberg took Jim Ringland in hand, pounded him fairly hard throughout the entire fight. Sandberg hit his opponent hard on several occasions, hut Ringland never flinched and came hack for more. The next fight between Boies and Mullin developed into a good old-fashioned “slug fest. Mullin started like a hall of fire with the intention of stowing his opponent awav fast. However. Boies withstood the bundle of blows and did some fine come-back work to defeat Bill after three exciting rounds. By the way, Boies was the first to draw blood in the new ring. In the lightweight contest Louie Harris showed that he is a pretty tough customer in the ring. Pete Ankeny was the recipient of the thundering attack from Harris. Louie polished him off with a terrific blast of jabs and uppercuts which staggered Ankeny in the first minute of the first round and sent him to the showers. The welter and middleweight bouts lacked the spark to thrill the crowd, hut all four fighters were very evenly matched. Bruce Cameron, welterweight champion, probably showed the most all-around boxing ability. The middleweight Ixnit was the only one booed by the crowd. Many thought that Roger Wells should have received the decision. The lightweight match gave the crowd the biggest upset of the afternoon when it saw a game freshman last the first round and win the last two to gain a close decision over older and more experienced Ted Allen. Allen lacked the needed endurance and his fast moving attack slowed down after the first round. That is when George stepped in and did some fine punching to win the cheers of the entire crowd. In the last fight Jim Slocum showed that he had little fear of the mighty Drill. With no previous boxing experience Jim fought magnificently against his able opponent. Jim lost In-cause he didn’t know the little things alnnit l oxing. Ill 112 A” TEAM THE 1947 A” team achieved a good record as they won four games and lost three. The Butlermen displayed outstanding class in the back field, with a slightly weaker line. Led by Captain Louie Harris Don Butler’s gridders defeated St. Paul Academy twice and St. Phillips once. In the two S.P.A. routs Boies, Harris and Barry scored three times. The three games they lost had very close margins, for Harris, Boies, Barry. Ankeny, Jones, and pass catching Nash could always be counted on to reach paydirt consistently. With such excellent talent many A” team-ers will be seen playing for the Varsity in the 1948 season. “B TEAM KEL Pollock anti Jack Edie put out a “B” team which had the best record of the coefficients. They won four, tied one, and lost two. After losing the first contest to St. Joseph the Little Bears bounced back to win a close, hard fought l� ttle with their traditional rivals, S.P.A. Against the Downriver boys the “BY had to rally to overcome a 6 to 0 deficit. In the final quarter Blake's alert end, Cagley, stole the pigskin from an unsuspecting Acad halfback and raced into enemy territory. The score was made on the subsequent play. At the end of the season Randy Cote was honored by l eing elected Captain of the 47 team. “C” TEAM ALTHOUGH John Mucdeking's “C” teamers began to roll after a slow start, they failed to win a majority of their games. Following their initial two defeats the “C’s” won three contests and lost only two. They rallied to avenge their earlier St. Joseph defeat in an exciting 14 to 12 victory. They made up in class and sj eed for their lack of size, since most of the boys were from the Lower School. Outstanding players were Captain Mac Hyde, Herbie Clark, Phil Larson, and high scorer Bob Lundholm. 113 MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL The Middle School basketball team had a highly successful season, winning all six of its interscholastic games. In completing their undefeated season the Pollock-men vanquished Harley Hopkins twice, Groveland twice. St. Joseph, and Edina. The two Groveland games highlighted the schedule, for they were both won by close margins. In the first contest against the Maroon and Gray, forward Mac Hyde of Blake broke the tie with 20 seconds remaining to put the Little Bears ahead 35 to 33. Burt Grossman, the other forward, was the high scorer, as he was in every other game. The second tangle lx tween the two schools proved to be equally exciting, as the Brown and White eked out a 36 to 33 victory. Burt Grossman played the best game of his career garnering 22 counters. Pat Farnand played his usual stellar game at guard. Other members of the team which contributed to the undefeated were Hibbs, Ritchie, Brouilette, and Mull in. Coach Pollock did a magnificent job in teaching the above boys the fundamentals so well that they were able to defeat the best, and certainly deserves commendation here on these pages. PFLAUM CUP COMPETITION As the CALL O’PAN goes to press the Browns and Whites are practically deadlocked, with the spring sports and Field Day track events yet to lx played. The trend started with the Browns taking an early lead by winning all three coefficient games and dropping only the Junior Varsity contest. The Whites won the J. V. game 14 to 12 after trailing at the half by two touchdowns. The Whites slowly fought back from the setback they received on the gridiron bv winning in swimming, basketball, and splitting in hockey. Both the Upper and Middle School Whites won their swimming meets at the Minneapolis Club in the usual hardfought battle. The spectators of the basketball games viewed some of the most exciting games that occurred in the new field house this year. The J. V. tilt was forced into “sudden death overtime and was terminated by Pete Rogers’ bucket which put the Whitemen ahead by two scant points. The varsity Whites were too tall and classy for their opponents and won 44 to 39. The varsity Browns won the hockey game 11 to 3, while the Whites retaliated in the J. V. contest. As mentioned above the Browns and Whites tied for the Villa Boxing Trophy, thus each team garnered 40 points. Winning golf and track, and splitting baseball and Unnis, the Browns defeated the overconfident Whites by a margin of four points. 114 % LOWER SCHOOL FACULTY AND STAFF Dorwin E.

The theme of the play showed how the well-meant, but inexpensive gift of a common peasant brought acknowledgement from God in the form of the ringing of the Cathedral bells, while the expensive gifts of wealthy people brought no recognition. The pageant was done in pantomine and was assisted by a beautiful choir of about fifty boys. The whole presentation was well-received bv all and constituted another feather in the Lower School’s cap.
