Aside from being a warm dresser, John is one of the more industrious boys in the senior class. His calm and friendly manner has made him many friends at Blake. He entered Blake as a freshman and since then has been gaining in pop-ularitv, until in his junior year he was elected a member of the Union and in his senior year he was elected vice president of the class. One of Juani’s claims to fame is his athletic prowess. He won a letter as half back in his junior year and as a very efficient guard in his senior year. He has also done well in liasketball and baseball, playing on each of these squads. Perhaps his success in sports is due more to his persistence and effort than to anything else, and he should Ik.- commended for his hard work. In addition to his participation in athletics. John has many other assets. He is often on the honor roll and scholastically he employs the same hard work that he does athletically. He is also interested in many extra-curricular activities.

Henry Lyman Chisolm Entered Blake in 1944 Barney,” “Cliis” De Pauw I am not only witty in myself, but tin-cause that wit is in other men. —Shakespeare When any one hears the name of Henry Chisolm, he immediately thinks of the pictoral editorials in the TORCH and of the many posters and cartoons which are posted around the school. Perhaps Henry’s most outstanding forte is his drawing ability. He has served as cartoonist for the TORCH and CALL O' PAX for two years and has climaxed his senior year by drawing the cover design and division sheets for tlie yearbook. Barney was elected to the Union during his junior year and has been one of the most active members of this group ever since. At the end of each day’s recitation periods, Henry can be seen heading for some athletic activity. Chis has been one of the star touch football players in the fall and a dependable reserve on Mr. Lundholm’s varsity quintet during the winter season. Barney” is to he found on the baseball diamond in the spring where he chases fly halls and grounders at an outfield position. Besides all of the aforementioned facts, Chis has been one of the class wits throughout his years at Blake, and his quick comebacks and sharp puns have kept his fellow seniors in ceaseless laughter. A member of the notorious Washburn driving group, Barney s exploits and deeds in motoring to and from school have kept his fellow travelers in both laughter and dread. We feel sure that Henry will garner the same popularity at De Pauw as he has here at Blake. 22 «
