SENIOR HISTORY 'Phe class of 1949 got its start back at the old Junior School building in Minneapolis in 19.36 when Bob Palm and Richie Crawford met in the First Grade. Crawford has since become a hockey star and Palm has been a good athlete and music reporter for the TORCH. The next member to join the class was “Sleepy” Steve Krogness who entered in 1941, left in 1947, and returned to Blake for his senior year. Steve has been one of the mainstays of the swimming squad. In 1942 the class was further strengthened by the addition of three boys. Steve Groves, exponent of the “hots ; Roger Page, tall tale teller and class smoothie, and Don Winston, publications standout, were the new members to the group of trouble seekers called the class of 49. Six boys entered school in 1943, and they, along with the boys who already were at Blake, formed the core of the class. These lx ys were Neil Davidson, class poet; A1 Grossman, scholar, actor, and public speaker; Tom Jamieson, sailing expert and student; Tom Xeumeier. class weight lifter and golfer extraordinary; Ray Scherer, athlete and wit: and John Selover, Fditor-in-Chief of the TORCH and Co-Captain of the basketball team. Henry Chisolm and Joe Kingland joined the class in 1944. Since then Chisolm has entertained the class with his cartoons, and Joe has used his many talents in various phases at Blake. i 20
