SENIOR HISTORY The nucleus of our class was formed way back in 1936, when Bobby Gluck entered the old Junior School in the first grade. It was quite appropriate too. for in those days Bob actually was shaped somewhat like a nucleus. Two years later, two important additions were made to the class of 50. for that year “Daiv” Wrench and “Chick” Eck became members. From that time on, a steady stream of boys came flowing in. Doug Lowe in the fourth grade, Nick Gibbs and Bob Slocum in the fifth grade. When these boys moved up to the first Form, which was then the sixth grade, they were met by a new contingent containing Larry Boies, the head boy; Bob Stiles, the classicist; A1 Sandy, the steadiest: and Joe Xeumeier, the aristocrat of reactionary views. Milton Cohen, the business manager of the TORCH and president of the Dramatics Association, and John Cardie, the linguist, joined our class in the second form. Our class was augmented the next year by Eric Ueland, a master backstroker, and “Big Jack” Buffington. The second third Form, or Freshman, year saw the biggest addition to our present class, as seven lucky students joined the class of '50. They were “Bub” Graham, the tobacco blender; Bob Weiser, amiable student-council member; John Colwell, the cherub; “Daner Schmid : Corbeau, the great Tannutuvian lover; Buzz Phelps, the angel; and Pete Rogers, the philanthropist. 20 Our Sophomore year was improved and enlarged by “Bigada” Fischer; Bill Berghuis, the scholar and thinker; and Harry Woodward, dramatist-puhlicator. The additions did not diminish during the Junior year as four more men came in. These worthy creatures were “Meathead Doll iff; Tom “Juan Dwight; John Hawkinson, the Robbinsdale sage; and Dave Cox, the second member of that photographic team of Cox and Berghuis. This year Tom Pinkerton was the man that Chicago lost and Minneapolis gained. The class this year has not been outstanding on the athletic field, it is true. However, a small group of boys including Boies, Corbett. Lowe, Rogers and Gluek did uphold the honor of the class. The majority of the boys have l een active in extra-curricular activities as notable contributions have been made in Dramatics, Publications, Debating, and Music. Tag Mr. Butler, Class Advisor This year, for the second time in as many years, Mr. Butler was elected Faculty Advisor by the Senior Class. Always jx pular with the boys, he has lent valuable time and energy to the task of guiding them through the rougher s|x ts in their Senior year. His prudent advice has saved some boys from committing errors which could possibly have l een serious. For this indispensable assistance, we of the 1950 Senior Class owe Mr. Butler more gratitude than we can pay, and we will remember him for many years after graduation. We only hope that this fact will compensate somewhat for the effort expended in his many labors to aid us. 21 William Warren Berghuis Entered Blake in 1947 “Bill, “Bughouss,” '‘Birdhouse l'rincclon Valedictorian “Young in limbs, in judgement, old. —Cervantes From the moment he entered Blake. Bill made it clear to the other members of the Class of 50 who was going to get the high marks. His name is found almost perennially on the honor roll, both for the month and the term. His scholastic effort was rewarded in his sophomore year when he received the Spanish Medal for proficiency in Spanish, and in his junior year when he received the Fifth Form Scholarship Award for scholastic achievement. It didn’t take Blake long to discover that Bill had arrived, and in his Junior year he was elected to the Blake Union. Bill will always be remembered for his cheerfulness and his willingness to help. I he Blake swimming team will never seem the same without him. During his two winters spent in the Minneapolis Club pool, he proved himself proficient in both breaststroke and freestyle. After his performance as Lord Macbeth to Xeumeier’s Lady in the one-act plays last year, everyone agreed that Xeumeier had never had a better husband. The Publications Board put Bill’s photographic knowledge and experience to work in his senior year and he served as co-editor of photography for the TORCH and CALL O’ PAX. We can’t figure out where he finds the time for it. but on top of all this, every Spring, Bill grabs his racquet and heads for the tennis courts. With his record at Blake to back him up, we are sure that Bill will be warmly received at Princeton. 22 Lawrence Randall Boies, Jr. Entered Blake in 1943 “Larry” Harvard Cum Laude “I will fight to the last gasp.”— Shakespeare Few people took notice of a happy little lad who wandered aimlessly down the halls when school opened in 1943. But this opinion changed in a hurry, and soon all knew that Larry Boies was here. He was elected best all-round fellow of his class back in 1943, and his popularity and respect were shown in June when he was almost unanimously elected head lx y for this year. In addition to holding this important office, Larry was also President of the Athletic Association and a Union member for two years. Ever since he came to Blake. Larry has been one of the outstanding athletes of the class. He has played halfback on the football team for two years and this year was elected co-captain. Despite his lack of size, he was voted the Williams Trophy for the best player on the team. Larry played on the hockey team during the winter, and when spring rolled around he was seen on the baseball diamond. He is the highest letter winner in the Senior class. Larry also participated in other extra?curricular activities such as the band and the stage crew of the Dramatics Association. While carrying on all these outside activities, Larry managed to keep one of the highest scholastic averages in the class, as well as in the school. Anyone who has looked at Larry’s cute smile and curly hair must realize that he has been one of the more prominent participants in the class’s night life. He has always been very popular with the opposite sex. and this year has turned out to he one of the class’s steadier members. Many a Monday morning has been spent grilling silent Larry about the happenings of the week-end. Larry also has entertained various members of the class with his stories of the North Woods and his canoe trips. But when the ivy vines begin to grow on the records of the class of 1950, we are sure that Blake won’t quickly forget Larry. Harvard is very lucky to obtain one of the most admirable lx ys that has ever walked these halls. 23 John Wadsworth Buffington Entered Blake in 1945 “Jack,” “Buff Dartmouth Cum Laude “I fall back dazzled at beholding myself all rosy red; At having I, myself, caused the sun to rise. —Rostand lack's handsome countenance first presented itself in our old Alma Mater just five years ago. Since that time lie has become an integral part of the class of ‘50 in nearly every phase of its activities. His curly blond locks always have a smile beneath them. Jack has been found competing on the football field, on the hockey rink, and on the tennis court. This fall he was a member of Coach Glenn’s grid squad, and in spite of being laid up part of the time with a broken wrist, he, nevertheless, played much good football and won his varsity “B.” At the end of the season he hung up his spikes only to put on his skates and join the hockey team to begin practice. This spring he was one of Mr. Cleveland’s letter tennis players. In spite of this full athletic program, Jack has found time to attack extra-curricular activities too. He has the distinction of being the oldest member of the Dramatics Association in the school. He has taken part in five different productions during his sojourn here at Blake and served last year as vice-president of this organization. During the last two years, his athletic prowess has somewhat curtailed his availability, it is true, but whenever it is possible, he makes the best use of his abilities in this field. Jack has always been high scholastically, often being on the honor roll, and never very far from it. His special talent seems to be in the field of mathematics, for he has several times amazed masters and students with his original proofs of geometry puzzles. Jack always seems to have a good word to say about somebody, no matter who it may be. His friendly, unassuming manner has won him many friends here in school. His well-rounded and pleasant personality should make him a worthy contribution to Dartmouth, the college of his choice. It is needless to wish him luck and success, for these things always seem to follow him no matter where he goes. John Burch Cardie Entered Blake in 1944 “Jawn, “Senator, “Cardelli” Williams “I am Sir Oracle. When I ope my month, let no dog hark.”—Shakespeare If one were to open the Senior Room door, one would likely he met full in the face by a barrage of words. This vocal onslaught would, undoubtedly, lx directed at some Senior iconoclast who has been unfortunate enough to be “agin’ something, within range of John's auditory nerve, for you see John is “agin’ ’’ whatever anybody is “fer” whether it he political, social, economic, or otherwise. Furthermore. John delights in telling you so, in five thousand words or more. John’s rhetorical abilities have brought great honor u|x n him, however. In his senior year John offered his services to the Blake debate team and proved himself to possess even greater oratorical potentialities than hitherto realized. He completed a suc-cesful year on the rostrum by winning the Strieker Cup and its accompanying title, “Best Debater of the Year.” John is possessed with one weakness, however. It is that one weakness possessed of any man. Every since he entered Blake in 1944. “Jawn” has been seen at all types of social gatherings, tearing about from place to place, mingling with the crowd, and making himself a jolly fellow in general. Furthermore. he is always escorted (until twelve-thirty or so). In his earlier years at Blake, John was very active in coefficient sports, but recently he became an ardent Blake sports fan, rarely missing any Blake sporting event. He was also active in Dramatics. His jx rtrayal of Kitty Carson in “Gas. Air. and Earl” was very good, and we all enjoyed seeing him as Jimmy Deveraux in the Northrop production of “Stage Door.” John’s work at Blake has been very satisfactory, and with his charming personality we feel that John will lx very successful in college. Milton Harris Cohen Entered Blake in 1944 Milt” Little Mo” “Little Al. Clo” Stanford He has an oar in every lx at and a finger in every pie. —Cervantes When a vigorous little hall in a raccoon coat rolls into the Senior room, we know Milt is among us. Milton, who has been in Blake for six years, is probably the most active Ijoy in the class. He has distinguished himself as a talented actor in The Milky Way” and Ten Little Indians.” Since he was President of the Dramatics Association, part of the success of “Ten Little Indians” can l e attributed to Milton's efforts. Little Al’s organizing abilities were given a great play on the Publications board, and he was manager in charge of finance of the paper. He also directed the magazine and ad campaigns. His scholastic abilities aren’t to he overlooked either as he excels in English and History. Milt is also an avid jazz fan owning a record collection that is the envy of his friends. We feel it only fair to express our gratitude to Milt for his open houses. In the athletics department, Milt is one of the stalwarts of the golf team, shooting a steady ninety-five last year. He has been a follower of the Graham imported briar and oriental tobacco club, belonging to the Loyal Order of The Black Rose. During the summer Milt played Cupid to several of the boys as he took them to a certain summer resort at Lake Minnetonka. Milt’s outside interests, female that is, have kept him very busy, as his smooth personality spread over the field. Blake will miss Milton’s organizing and directing abilities, and Stanford certainly will l e gaining a valuable Freshman. 26 John Graham Colwell Entered Blake in 1946 “Jawn,” ‘‘Juan, ’ “Johnny’’ ('arlcloii “Eat no onions nor garlic, for we arc to utter sweet breath.”—Shakespeare “Aren’t they sheer though?” “Yes, hut I don’t wear size thirteen.” a thin wavering voice replies. You may ask what is happening, hut any hoy passing through the lower halls of Blake would know immediately that John Colwell, amiable proprietor of the Blake School Athletic Store, is browbeating another underclassman into a sale. Whenever the question of price is raised, John laughs it off with the retort. “You’ll find out when you see the hill. Noted for lacking the supplies that the hoys most need, and when not lacking them, never having them in the proper sizes, John merely comments that they’ll always stretch if too small and shrink if too large. However, more often they stretch if too large and shrink if too small. Besides the usual graft. John receives sufficient remuneration for his efforts always to give the boys what they don’t want for the best possible price. When “Jawn” isn’t loafing in his store, he’s working on the golf links trying to improve his game and those of his friends, instructing them as to which club to use. why. and how and why a Spalding “Air Elite is superior to a U. S. Fairway. When not looking at him. you get the impression that a little boy is talking to a big boy. However, it's all “Jawn.” Always pleasant and likable, he takes any kidding goodnaturedly and usually returns it with interest. This is one of the many reasons he is well-liked by all whom he comes in contact with. Next year Johnny will trans| ort his jocund spirits and rotund body to Carleton college. Entering there as a Freshman just as he did at Blake, we are sure that he will enjoy himself there and he enjoyed by others just as much as he has been enjoyed here at Blake. 27 “The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”—Wilde Laurence Ward Corbett, Jr. Entered Blake in 1946 Cum Laude Princeton Since he came to Blake as a freshman. Core has excelled as a scholar, athlete, socialite, and tale-teller. B. F. (before physics) he was never seen off the honor roll. In addition to his scholastic ability, “Corbeau” has become an athlete of considerable prowess. In the fall he was an outstanding member of Coach Glenn’s varsity football squad for two years. His ability in this sport is shown in his election as co-captain for his Senior year. During the winter, “Core” graced the floor of the athletic edifice with his flying feet in an honest endeavor to play basketball. After playing J. V. ball in his junior year, he graduated to the varsity where he played reserve forward for Mr. Lundholm’s squad. In the spring of his Junior year, he donned his track shot's to become a member of the first Blake track team along with L. Boies, W. Pearson, and Nicky Gibbs. He proved that his excellence did not end on the athletic field when he was appointed sports editor on the “Torch board. “Corbeau. the great French lover, (a paragon of virtue) as his classmates fondly call him, is one of the most popular students in his class. The fact that Larry was vice president of this motley crew the first three years of high school, was elected to the Union in his junior year, and served as president in his Senior year exemplified his popularity. Next year Core takes his hobbies of fishing and women, his sundry accomplishments, and his good nature to Princeton along with a coveted NROTC scholarship. Congratulations! ★ 28 David Edward Cox Entered Blake in 1948 “Dave • • Colgate “The true pleasure of life is to live with vour iuferiors.”—Thackeray When Dave entered Blake at the lieginning of his junior year, he may have been one of the last hut certainly not the least. Since his arrival, almost everybody at one time or another has enjoyed his friendly wit and humor. He will he remembered for his genial personality and jokes. In his easy-going manner, Dave charmed everybody with his effervescing popularity. Although never particularly interested in schoolwork. Dave was very active in extra-curricular activities, lie swam for Johnny Hartman’s paddlers for two years, holding down positions in the backstroke and breaststroke. Dave jokingly comments that he merely spent his time at the pool as a plug to keep the water from running out, but actually he added both physical and moral support to the team. He also played tennis while he was not busy with the Dramatics or Publications Associations. Dave had not been at Blake long before his acting abilities were discovered. He participated in several plays during his two years at Blake. For his excellent work. Dave was elected Business Manager of the Dramatics Association during his senior year. On the Publications Board, Dave served as photography co-editor and thus put to use his years of experience in this held. Dave gained recognition when he won honorable mention on two pictures which he entered in a national contest. In his short time at Blake, Dave was also recognized for his speaking abilities, receiving the award for the best chapel speech in the class during his Junior year. However, outside of school. Dave put his talents to work on the opposite sex and was one of the few “steadies” in the class. He often bewildered the other seniors with his charming touch with the girls. After graduation. Dave will be wending his way eastward where Colgate’s gain will be Blake’s loss. Douglas Alfred Dolliff Entered Blake in 1948 “Doug.” “Alf Minnesota “The ass will carry his load, hut not a double load—Ride not a free horse to death. —Cervantes When Doug entered Blake as a Junior from Washburn, he immediately endeared himself to his classmates with his wit and good nature. Something of a firebug. when he became tired of the hot foot, he originated the hot hand, a plague to all serious Seniors. Doug’s career has been marked by journeys to St. Paul, various accidents, and incidents on water skiis. Besides water skiing, Doug likes the sport of football. He played J.V. ball his Junior year and showed a lot of spirit earning a varsity letter at guard in his Senior year. Doug is noted for being at the bottom of most Senior Room scuffles. He punishes his fellow students with his wit and unique laugh. During the fall weekends when many of his associates are busy dating, Doug can be found in the land of geese with his trusty shotgun, pursuing our feathered friends of the field. Doug’s aspirations for higher education have caused him to look toward Minnesota as his future Alma Mater. Wherever Doug goes after Blake, we predict great things for his genial personality. Thomas True Dwight Entered Blake in 1948 “Dwight ' “Tom Juan” Yale “The true way to he deceived is to think oneself more knowing than others.”—RocheFoucault When Tom Dwight joined our class in 1948, we realized that we had received a very interesting personage into our midst. In the last two years, Tom’s witty commentaries on world affairs, British aristocracy, and the attributes of femininity have kept us greatly amused. We also very much enjoyed Tom’s capable portrayal of General MacKenzie in “Ten Little Indians. He did a very good job of representing a retired army officer who had gone “quite crackers. We wish him further success in the theatre. Tom's wide variety of lady friends has kept him well supplied with a basis for his views on femininity. Always the perfect gentleman. it is interesting to watch Tom assert himself in the manner that earned him the name of “Tom Juan. Definitely not in a rut, Tom has showed his versatility by escorting a great variety of girls from various schools. Aside from the ladies. Tom's chief interests seem to have been golf and the Blake Publications. He also contributed his time to the new Blake Band. As one of Mr. F. Lundholm's more consistent golfers, Tom can be found on Meadowhrook golf course every school afternoon during the fall and spring terms. Although he didn't obtain a position on the varsity golf squad, we feel that if Tom retains his interest he will not only reach a high degree of proficiency, but also will derive much pleasure from his game. The Blake Publications have also l een one of the benefactors of 'Pom’s abil-articles. Tom’s attributes do not lie entirely in the aforementioned fields, however, as he has made a good scholastic record and has managed to keep out of trouble around school. We feel that with his charming manner and self assuredness Tom will he a success at his chosen college. 31 Lester Huston Eck Entered Blake in 1943 “Chettah, “Paolo, “C hick Colgate His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich, it enabled him to run. though not to soar. —Macaulay The class of 1950 has been honored for several years with the presence of the owner of the pleasant Scandinavian face depicted above. If one were to look down any one of the hallowed halls of Blake, one would be likely to see a manly swagger, topped by a tousled mass of golden locks. This is sure to be Lester, Manager of our golf team. After several years of diligent practice with Mr. F. Lundholm’s J.Y. Squad, Lester was elected to the Varsity squad in his Junior year and obtained the position of Manager as a Senior. Lester plays a good game of golf, and we feel that he will be a credit to any golf team on which he plays. Lester’s abilities do not end. however, with the golf team. In his Senior year “Chick h nored the Dramatics Association with his services and provided a record audience with a very powerful performance as Justice Wargrave in Ten Little Indians. It is obvious that the hearty response with which he was received will only spur Les on to greater things in the theatre. We certainly do not want to measure Lester’s success in high school entirely by the aforementioned accomplishments, however. We do not want to overlook Lester’s successes with the girlies. Chick has some very amazing views about the fairer sex. which we will not relate here because of the lack of space. We shall have to let it suffice to say that “Paolo has done very well. This year, besides the Dramatics Association, Lester took up the trombone and joined the new Blake Band. Through diligent practice Les has become quite proficient, and it is now a real pleasure to listen to Chettah and his slip stick. We feel sure that with his many attributes and his good personality, Lester will be even more successful in college than in high school. 32 Keith Paul Fischer Entered Blake in 1947 “Bigada Fish” Princeton ‘‘Who does not love wine, women, and song, remains a fool his whole life long.”—Foss Keith lent his talents to the graduating Senior class for the first time in his Sophomore year. In spite of bringing a strong Connecticut accent into the heart of the Midwest, he quickly amalgamated and soon won many friends. Never too athletic, “Fish” has toyed with the games of tennis and baseball. During his Senior year he was manager of the varsity football squad. He handled the team well on their journey to Lake Forest during the difficult moments and came back with all the equipment intact. Because of his strong support of athletic contests “Fish” was chosen to the 1950 Press Club for which he received some compensation at the end of the year. Although he was a little slow to start operating with the fairer sex, nevertheless, during his Senior year he has made much progress, being in love most of the time. Keith passed his XROTC examinations this last year and therefore proved himself to be a fine physical specimen of American manhood. “Fish” is noted as being one of the better story tellers in the Senior room. Whenever no noise emanates from said room, you can he sure Fish is at it again. His amiable personality and ease of making friends will follow him both in college and in his life afterwards. 33 Merrill Harvey Gibbs Entered Blake in 1942 “Tricky Nick.” “Nicademus,” “Piccolo Nick Princeton I have stopped them in the nick.”— Cervantes Since joining the cavalcade in the last year of Lower School. Nick has consistently proved to his goggle-eyed classmates that the hand is quicker than the eye. Going from the ridiculous to the sublime, let us consider Harv’s athletic achievements. To start at the beginning, we must go hack many years to the time when a sturdy moppet with wild blue eyes galloped down the C and B team fields with a pigskin under his arm. Many years later as a senior, this same young man, now a bronzed athlete, was playing good defensive halfback on Coach Glenn’s grid team. Football is not Nick’s only sport, however. He has a basketball career at Blake to look back on with pride. In his Junior year he was high-point man on Pete Parks’ Jayvees, with a total of 56 points. He would have had more hut he played three games with the varsity which counted on his J.W score. The next year, this one, he played full time with the varsity, winning his letter as a forward. Nick’s biography wouldn’t l e complete, however, without recognition of his scholastic prowess. Besides being an excellent athlete, “Piccolo Nick has kept his name regularly on the honor roll. Success will surely follow him to Princeton. 34 Robert Kohl Gluek Entered Blake in 1936 “Bobbie, “Glu, ‘‘Kollo’ Dartmouth “Women and music I cannot but give way to, whatever my business may Ik .’’—Pcpys Twelve years ago a chubby little rascal entered Junior Blake, which, at that time, was in Minneapolis. Since then Boh has slimmed down a bit and become one of the most popular and outstanding members of the class of 1950. Today Bob is one of the Senior members of the council, a memljer of the Dramatics Association’s stage crew, and a two-year member of the Union. In the past few years, Boh has become famous for his secretarial duties around school. He has been secretary-treasurer of the class for two years, and this year is secretary of the Athletic Association. This year Boh is lending his masculine voice to the Blake Glee Club. Besides these extra-curricular activities. Bob writes the Platter Patter column for the TORCH. He has also been very active in athletics while at Blake. He has played football all through the coefficient system and has won two varsity letters. This year he was one of the outstanding members of the team, as he played almost sixty minutes every game at a tough guard position. When the weather turns cold. Kollo turns his interests to hockey, and this year his efforts were rewarded with a varsity letter. In the spring Bob’s interest turns to baseball as manager of the team. Speaking of women, Bob has always been very active in this field, but still finds plenty of time to devote to the bovs. In the following years, the underclassmen at Blake will miss the sight of the little black truck with the bear sitting behind the wheel. Next year Dartmouth will be very fortunate to get a swell fellow like Glu. 35 Robert Wheeler Graham Entered Blake in 1946 “Bub,” “Bub Gram,” “Big Bubble Gruni” Grinned “The Multitude is always in the wrong. —Dillon Great substance was lent to the class of '50 by the addition of Bob Graham’s massive figure. Unlike several of his less fortunate brethren of 50. Bob's bulk lias decidedly forestalled any attempt to eject him forcibly through one of the nurtures admitting light and air into the Senior Boom. Another outstanding facet of “Bub's” character is his predilection for pipes. He may be seen during bis leisure hours puffing contentedly on his favorite briar or enhancing the lovely shade of a treasured meershaum. This interest in pipes, including an oriental water-pipe that stands unrivaled for sheer bubbling-pleasure. has led our hero to a related science, that of tobacco-blending. Although some of bis customers insist they note the presence of art-gum. vacuum-sweepings, and other sundry delicacies. Bob insists that lie uses only the choicest of shredded Oriental and Domestic asbestos. “Makes for longer burning,” says Bob. One of Mr. Gram’s major hobbies is “ham-operating.” He owns bis own set. operating from the seclusion of his lofty bedroom. Until bis l oat came to an untimely end during a storm on Lake Harriet. Bob was an extremely active member of the Lake Harriet Yacht Club, entering almost even-race held during the course of the summer. “Big Bubble Gruni” is also no mean musician, being proficient on clarinet and saxophone. This talented youth lias also contributed for several years to the production of “Torches” and Call O’ Pans, and many a “Sound and Furry lias been enlivened by his deft touch. Bob has also Ix-en a member of the Dramatics Association for the past two years, and many still remember bis laugh-provoking performance of Mrs. Plummer in “Gas, Air and Earl and as Gabby, the fight manager in “The Milky Way.

John Alan Hawkinson Entered Blake in 1948 ••Hawk” Yale “Three cheers for war in general.”— Benito Mussolini The jovial face which peers at you from atop this page is that of John Hawkinson. Blake’s Benchlcy, suspendered Senior, and low man on the Glee Club, Quartet. and French Class grades. Noted for his riotous forays into his realm of verbal talent. John has made a hearty reputation for himself through his speeches, and by wearing on his out-sized pants of the latest style the loudest and longest suspenders ever seen in our little old red-brick school house. His scarlet locks, worn in a combination Raggedy Andy-Henry V style, can usually be spotted on Friday nights at the Friday Night Poker Club of which Hawk is an enthusiastic member. Of course. John has a conscientious side to his extra-curricular activities too, for John was an ardent member of the basketball team, coming out every day for practice. In the fall. John played football and his second season on the Junior Varsity. Along with his other activities. Hawk played baseball this spring and worked hard all year in the Glee Club, being one of its most fervent members. During some of his spare time John sang bass in the Blake Quartet which twittered at the building drive dinner and at several other occasions. Hawk also lent a hand this year to the Dramatics Association as a stage hand. John intends to go to Yale next fall, and we are sure lie will be as well accepted there as he has been here, and all of us will miss his jovial personality. 37 Douglass Arnold Lowe Entered Blake in 1941 ‘‘Doug,’’ “B.D.,” “Lowzetti” Princeton “It’s well to he ofT with the Old Woman Ik fore you’re on with the New.”—Shaw When Dr. and Mrs. Lowe first smiled upon their little dark-haired cherub, little did they know the confusion he would cause in later years when on gloomy Monday mornings he would relate his startling experiences of the past week-end. “Lover,” as his classroom admirers affectionately call him. is our class' gift to the fairer sex. Doug’s talents, however, do not end here. Athletically, for the past two autumns Doug's ability was amply displayed on Mr. (llenn’s gridiron. This year his fwjthall career at Blake was climaxed with his holding down an important guard position on the first eleven. Both this winter and la t, Doug could Ik seen happily fondling the wet bathing suits of the swimming team, of which he was a very capable manager. He was also elected captain of the Browns, and thus far this year has proved to he a very worthwhile leader. In his junior year Doug became a member of the Union, of which he was president this year. So when the “old grind” comes to an end. “Lowzetti will leave our little group for Princeton. We wish “B.D. lots of luck as he leaves the ivy-covered portals; we know that he cannot help be-ing successful. Joseph O'Conner Neumeier Entered Blake in 1942 “Joel,” “Newmar” Yale “In every deed of mischief he had a heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.”—Gibbon During the seven years that Joe has made his suave presence felt at Blake, he has weathered all manner of embarrassing and trying situations with the same quietly august personal dignity. This urbane self-possession is deceptive, however, for it masks an excellent sense of humor, one that is truly appreciative of mischief in all its varied forms. Joe has ben one of the small, hut dependable, staff of typists, who have rendered such invaluable aid to the “Torch and CALL O' PAN Board. He has also read proof and written several articles of his own, especially letters to the Editor. Joe has given several praiseworthy performances for the Dramatics Association. For example, the memory of Joe’s famous portrayal of Lady Macbeth will live forever in the minds and hearts of those fortunate enough to witness this feat. Joe also sang in the Glee Club for two of his Upper School years, lending a peculiar resonance all his own to the tone of that organization. Unlike many of his hop| ed-up classmates. Joe remains a staunch supporter of classics, both in music and dime novels. Aside from one close brush. Joe has coolly defended his Senior ring against the onslaughts of hordes of impassioned females, wafting them back in awe with a single imperious gesture of the terminal section of his forelimb. As he sidles on to newer and greater triumphs, always impeccably clad in the finest garments that Jake Juhl can provide, Joe is the Beau Brummel of his class. And yet this connoissuer of clothing does not hold himself aloof from the Ixmgeoisie. On the contrary, his affable leer is a familiar sight in the Senior Room, the halls, wherever mischief breeds. With his highly-developed sense of humor, his pleasing appearance, and his unusual personal characteristics, mannerisms, and idiosyncrasies. Joe will most certainly carve himself a unique niche in the unsuspecting halls of old Eli. Fred Totten Phelps, Jr. Filtered Blake in 1946 Buzz, “Freddy Yale “I'm no cherub. —Thackeray Not everyone in the Senior class can he credited with the ability to maintain a constant chuckle among his classmates wherever he appears. In fact, this honor seems to rest with Freddy, alone. The most remarkable feature about his sense of Immor is that it is simultaneous, usually appearing when least expected—not momentous additions to the hall of humor, hut perfunctory hits here and there that leave him the undisputed title of Head Humorist in the Senior class. Oddly enough, Freddy seems to excel scholastically as his courses get harder. There seems to Ik-no explanation for this phenomenon, other than the fact that he does not subject himself to Blake lunches. In fact, he does not eat any lunch at all. thereby gaining an extra study period each day to devote to—physics, of course. When not in school, the only logical place to find Freddy is on a pair of skis—snow, water, or otherwise. It is rumored that he is actually very good at these sports, not to mention his weekend after-dinner activities. It is not difficult to imagine this jovial little man as successful at Yale next year as he has been at Blake. 40 Thomas Edwin Pinkerton Entered Blake in 1949 ••pink,” “Tom” Williams God created woman, and boredom did indeed cease from that moment.”—The Antichrist, Aphorism You probably can’t see any straw sticking out of his hair, but the boy above is the graduating class’s expert on horses, donkeys, barbecues, and the W est in general. He has won a mule race, run a trading post, and been elected honorary mayor of a town. All of these amazing actions took place in the town of Kelly, Wyoming, where he has spent his summers for the last few years. This town has also caused him difficulty, for his breaking a rib there prevented him from playing football this year. Since be couldn’t play tackle, he played touch in the fall; but when winter came along there were two sports he wanted to play. These were swimming, in which he won several letters when he lived in Illinois, and hockey. He decided to play hockey and played regularly on the J.V. In the spring lie played golf. Since he just entered Bake this fall, many of Tom’s exploits took place at Highland Park High School, which he previously attended. He was vice-president of the Freshman class, president of the Boy’s Council, and a student council member for two years. Tom’s most outstanding characteristics are the girls he goes out with. Since he left Chicago, he has broken hearts as far away as Wyoming. His most amazing exploit came when he sat with a girl in a furnace room for two hours and 1ALKED. With his interests of sports. Dixieland, and women, Tom should Ik a great asset to Williams. Amherst Peter Marx Rogers Entered Blake in 1945 “Salty,” “Pete” ‘Is not life a hundred times too short to lx re ourselves? —Emil Pete joined the tribe in his Freshman year, and his spontaneous grin has been a class trademark ever since. Pete has a right to that evercheerful expression. He’s just completed his third successful season on the vaunted Blake Tennis Team. In his first year on the team, he swung a mighty racquet on the number two doubles team, and “Salty Pete” has been improving ever since (his tennis game, that is. among other activities). For example, in his Junior year, “Salty Pete” turned in the best performance of the day during the Deephaven match, when he stopped his opponent cold, six-love, six-love. Speaking of love—but keep your shirt on, we’ll get to that later. However, tennis represents only one facet of Pete’s athletic abilities. 'l'lie same year that he made the tennis team, this versatile eager-beaver started his now-famous hockey career, climaxing three years of rough-and-tumble puck-steering by pulling the hat trick in his last high-school game, the annual Brown and White classic. But even this triumph didn't sate “tall and lanky’s” athletic ambitions. After a Junior year at end on the Jayvees, Pete ascended to the Varsity and added a number of soaring kick-offs to a good job at end, in rounding out an enviable athletic career. After all these strenuous activities, the average young male would he too heat-out to lift his shaggy head and howl at the moon, but not our hoy, Pedro. Pete has shown plenty of ability in this department, doing most of his howling lately with the same she-wolf. This tale is not going to end with the old good-luck routine, because Pete has always had plenty and we are sure he always will. 42 Alan Francis Sandy, Jr. Entered Blake in 1943 “Al.” “Sandy” Amherst Impatient straight to flesh his virgin sword.”—Pope If you were to hear a weird, shrill sound, with only a remote resemblance to a clarinet, emanating from the senior room, you could he reasonably sure that it would Ik Alan Sandy beating out the latest Dixie rhythms on an old tin pi|x which he proudly calls his clarinet. However, this talent is by no means typical or representative of his achievements. Although not particularly adept in sj orts. he is an ardent enthusiast of athletics and succeeded in making the tennis team this year and last, playing both singles and doubles jK sitions. Al went out for Varsity football last fall, but as he was ham|)ered by a lack of weight, he wasn’t successful. But he made the Varsity hockey team this winter, occupying a responsible defense position. Alan doesn’t devote all his time at school to athletics, for he does a great deal of work on the “Torch. being responsible for the extensive coverage of the forums this year. He is also an ardent meml er of the Glee Club, and is a mainstay of r 0 the waiting crew. One of the Jazz fiends of the class, Al makes the field of Dixie, his specialty, and has contributed several specimens of this style of music to the Senior Room collection. Urged on to great heights in the field of scholastics by a very real desire to enter the college of his first choice, Al lately has maintained a high enough average to rank third in the class. Alan has been very busy at school this year and has been very successful in proving that, although it is a man’s world, they are willing to share it, for Al was one of the first Seniors to lose his Class Ring. In fact, weekends consistently find him chugging over to see his girl in his trusty little old 34 Chcv’x to trade choice little French morsels for English (or Spanish) ones. Next Fall Alan plans to go to Amherst, and we all hoj e that he will make as good a record and Ik as popular there as he has lx. en here. Dana Robertson Schmid “Will said: that was laid on with a t r nvcl. ’ ’—Shakespeare Filtered Blake in 1946 Minnesota I'he foremost farmer in the Senior Class is an appellation which could lit Dana quite aptly, for during his summers ever since lie entered Blake as a Freshman he has labored at pastoral pastimes. While most of the boys would have trouble telling a horse from a manure spreader. “Daner” could tell you the make and probable age and worth of any piece of farm equipment you could point out. His experiences during the summer always seem to furnish him with a story to relate whenever there is a lull in the activities of the Senior Room. His musical tastes fall directly under the heading of Jazz. “Daner” being one of the several stalwarts of “Dixieland.” in the Senior class, even to such an extent as being able to withstand the onslaught on his eardrums of the solitary record in the Senior Room living played continuously from dawn to dark. During that part of the winter when there is ice to skate on. “Daner” manages the Hockey team, spending his time either in the Senior Room or downtown while the squad practices. During games he scores, ably supported by females on either flank. He rests up for his labors in the fall and from his labors in the spring. As you can see from Chick's” informal picture, he always has a nose for mischief. Whenever something interesting and unique happens around the school, the boy who will know most about it will he Daner.” For reasons known only to himself. “Chick” will venture no farther awav from home next year than the University of Minnesota. € ★ ★ AA Robert Earl Slocum Entered Make in 1942 “Rob. “Sloe, “Ksta Princeton Cum Laude “Let all things he done decently and in order. —Bible Ever since he entered in the fifth grade. Boh has been one of the stalwarts of the senior class. During his stay he has been outstanding in scholastic, athletic, and extra-curricular activities. In addition to this. “Sloe has been one of the busiest members of the infamous group known as Seniors. One may see him running to execute his offices, as President of both the Glee Club and the Second-Hand Rook-Store, by wheedling money from hapless underclassmen for the interests of the Book Store and by alxlucting unsuspecting boys from study hall to support the Glee Club. Besides these activities, “Esta is a spirited member of the Dramatics Association and the School Editor of the Publications Board. Scholastically, Boh has been one of the top-ranking members of the class. Since he entered Blake. Bob’s name has graced the honor-roll the majority of the time. Bob’s imposing frame has aided him considerably in athletics, especially on the varsity hockey team, where he has been a stalwart for two years. On weekends he has been seen heading toward the “city across the river to relieve the manpower shortage in West St. Paul. We are sure that Bob will be a success in the halls of old Nassau. 45 Robert Dutcher Stiles Entered Blake in 1943 “Bob” “Stillies Harvard Cum Laude For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever. —Tennyson Back when the class of 1950 came up from the Lower School to Ik placed under the guiding hand of Mr. Wonson, Boh entered our little group to help us dodge his erasers. From that very first year. Bob’s classic abilities have been known and respected throughout the class, for his name has appeared frequently on the honor coll. Bob has always held to the classical side of every art. even through these changing times. This is especially noticeable in his love for the symphony and opera, while the weaker souls of the class have been dragged away by that devil. Jazz. Bob’s subtle wit has kept the class laughing for years, for after all the half-humorous remarks have been made about a subject, it is “Stillies who adds the crowning remark that polishes it off. Boh, while holding his average quite high, still seems to find time to participate in almost all of the extra-curricular activities. Bob was manager of the Varsity basketball team in his Senior year. As proof of his efficiency in this job. whenever fifteen uniforms were turned in by the players for cleaning. Boh would make sure that at least twelve were returned. Bob has shown his abilities as an actor by participating in many of the Dramatics Association’s presentations. He has played everything from a foolish female in a beserk elevator to a cold-blooded thief and murderer. Bob was editor-in-chief of the Publications Board in his Senior year, and he did an excellent job of handling both the “Torch and the CALL O’ PAX. Bob was also a leading speaker on the Debating team. By merely using his logical arguments and straightforward manner of speaking, Boh did not have to resort to tricky debating. While doing all these things. Bob still had time to spar with man’s greatest enemy. The fair sex, too, Bob won over without having to resort to trickery. Wherever Bob goes or whatever he does, his versatility will cause success to he with him. “Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn”—Thackeray Entered Blake in 1945 Eric Ueland Harvard Eric Ueland is a man of few vices and less words. Some thousands of years ago, some Chinamen said that it was a wise man that kept his mouth shut and listened to what others had to say. Eric has embraced this philosophy. He is liable to learn little from the sages of the Senior Room, however. Nevertheless, when Eric does have something to say, it behooves one to listen, for it will l e a vocal gem. In sports, Eric’s outstanding accomplishments have been with the Blake swimming team. For several years Eric has donated his abilities to this organization and has achieved notable success, having won several letters. Scholastically he has been very successful also. He is one of that hardy few who have successfully tackled Senior math and Physics in the same year. Eric's one vice, like that of so many boys, is girls. A very versatile gentleman, he has escorted many girls from the several schools that have same to offer. His infectious smile is always welcome at all dances, parties, etc. With his pleasing way and scholastic aptitude, it is obvious that he will l e very successful in college. ★ ★ ★ 47 Robert David Weiser “Horn with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad. —Sabat'mi Entered Blake in 1946 Trinity 'file physiognomy depicted above on this page is that of the most jovial character in a class of jovial characters. Ever since Bob entered our class during the Freshman year, he has made a name for himself by his genial disposition, for Hol always has a good word for everylxxly and could boast if he wanted to (but wouldn’t) that he didn’t have an enemy in the world. An example of his popularity would he that he was elected to the Student Council and Union during his Junior year.

Although not a natural athlete, “Weiz’’, through his determination and unconquerable spirit, has been at least competent if not excellent in his various endeavors in athletic contests. Boh was a member of Mr. Glenn’s grid squad in the fall. He played hard, never discouraged by setbacks and never gloating too much over victories. This winter Boh played at a reserve guard position on a highly successful Blake Basketball Team. After the season had been completed with a victory skein of ten straight and an over-all record of eleven victories and three losses. “Weiz quit the courts only to participate in America’s National Sport.

Woody Harvard I can resist everything hut temptation. —Wilde If you were to collar any Blake Im v from the second grade up, he would undoubtedly he able to tell you that the hoy in the blinding red shirt is Harry Woodward. Equally well known as one of Mr. Jones' most outstanding proteges, and as the amiable proprietor of Uncle Harry's Blind Date Bureau. Woody is truly a man of many abilities. Some of these abilities are even scholastic, and Harry's name often appears on the school Honor Roll. Harry’s high grades are made even more remarkable by his membership in the ‘‘Double-trouble Club, that organization of hearty lads who tempt the law of averages by taking both Senior math and physics in their Senior year. Because of his high grades and his fine personality, Harry is one of the most | opular and most respected hoys in his class. Since character references from his lady friends are hardly appropriate here, Woody's popularity must he shown hv telling of the organizations to which he belongs. Probably the foremost of the organizations, in the opinion of the students, is the Dramatics Association. His portrayals of John Bedford in Banquo's Chair, Burleigh Sullivan in Milky Way. and Phillip Lombard in Ten Little Indians. as well as his willing service in numerous lesser roles, have well demonstrated his theatrical ability. Although most people would expect this notable service to the Dramatics Association to occupy all his spare time, Harry has undertaken another major extra-curricular activity.

Its driver is “Divid” Wrench, one of the first boys to enter this year’s Senior class. He has been interred in Blake since third grade, and has distinguished himself in Mathematics and English. In his Junior year Dave worked on the school paper, and his effort, enthusiasm, and English ability earned him the position of Managing Editor of the TORCH. In this capacity he has handled the distribution of articles so “poorly” that lie seldom had time for sports (tch-tch). Though lie wasn’t on any varsity team. Dave does take part in some sports. In the winter he skis near his home, and he went to Wisconsin for that purjHjse this year. His car is frequently parked outside Lilac Lanes while he is liowling inside. His love life is variable because he can Ik seen in the company of either Holy Angels or Northrop girls at all the social events. However, his style was briefly cqtmped during the winter which his car was stolen. In the summer, he escapes to Michigan where he spends his time loafing, sailing a canvas-bottom l oat, and cliff-climbing. This last year Dave had a role in the play, “Ten Little Indians,” in which he played the part of a neurotic doctor. In his first attempt in dramatics, he was one of the many highly-complimented members of the cast.

The class election was held soon after the opening day and the class elected the following officers: Leek, president; Drill, vice-president; and Krogness, secretary-treasurer. Although our class rank was not high, several boys managed to get their names on the Honor Roll; among these were Hersh, Hiatt, and Leek. Several members of our class have been active in such extra-curricular activities as Dramatics, Glee Club, Debating, and Publications. Elected to the Union this year were Boos. Clark, Krogness, Skoglund, Jones, and Drill. Krogness and Sandberg were our Student Council representatives. At the football dinner almost half the class was awarded Varsity letters, and John Clark was announced next year’s captain. During the winter months our form was divided quite evenly among the three sports. Snyder was chosen captain of the basketball team bv bis team-mates, most of whom were juniors. Boos. Drill, and Larson were the outstanding hockey players, while Krogness and Honuneyer again spurred the swimming team to many victories. Spring found Skoglund. Clark.

Nash, MacDonald, Lundholm. Van Dusen, Bodom. I’liil MacCaull, and Osborne were foremost among the many who bolstered the “K” team. Dorrans, Ned Crosby, and Tom Barry played on the “A” team, and Julian Macaull went up to the J.V. When the winter season came the class interest was split between Hockey and Basketball. Some of the Hockey stalwarts were Thorpe. Priest. Van Dusen. Pillsbury, the McCaull cousins. Eklund. and Dorrans, while Lundholm. Nash, Boutell, Dow. Anderson and Grundy won their letters on the basketball squad. The whole class took part in this year’s Christinas play under the direction of Mrs. Nunan and Mr. Lund.

This group, composed of members of the upper school, is the representation of the student Ixxly in the government of Blake. Most people think that the council's duties end with the leading of chapel every Monday. This idea is false. They, together with the headmaster, head many of the activities of the school. The council organizes and carries to completion all the drives for the worthv charities toward which the school contributes, such as the m Red Cross, the Community Chest, and the Building Fund. The council also is in charge of two dances during the year, the Christmas dance and the Spring dance, as well as being responsible for the appointment of a Homecoming Committee, which handles the Football dance. The council also publishes the invaluable “B Book which helps adjust beleaguered children to the ways of Blake. Any complaints brought up by the members of the school and any disciplinary action toward the students are discussed by the sages on the council and recommendations are put forth.

The membership consists of Juniors and Seniors elected by the present members. 1'he purpose of the Union is to further public speaking, to give the hovs practice in parliamentary procedure, and to discuss school problems. Each year the organization awards the Union Medal to the winner of the Fourth Form Declamation Contest. After a hearty dinner in the school dining hall, the group assembles in the library and the meeting is called to order l;v the President. Three sj eeches are generally given during each of these sessions, the first by a prepared member, the second, given extemporaneously by a member chosen by lot. and finally, a talk delivered by a faculty speaker. The last two meetings of the year are somewhat irregular. At the first of these, the Seniors read prepared papers offering constructive criticism for Blake: and at the final banquet the new meml ers and the fathers of all the members are present. The Union is very indebted to Mr. Foss for his direction and counseling throughout another successful year.

DRAMATICS ASSOCIATION 'Fhe activities of the Dramatics Association presented a somewhat different pattern this year than in the several years previous. This year, as always, the activities of the association were highly successful, however. The activities of the Dramatics Association were seriously hindered by a series of unfortunate circumstances which further increased the difficulties of producing a play. In the fall when the officers of Association had finally agreed upon a selection, they were informed that they would not l e able to present “The Man Who Came to Dinner” localise it was to lx presented on the road bv a professional company this winter. Consequently, they were forced to make another selection. This time they chose to present “Ten Little Indians.” a mystery by Agatha Christie. This play was finally presented on February 3, lc 50. The cast was made up of a very com| etcnt group of thespians. Included in the cast were Milton Cohen, Harry Woodward, Keith Fischer. Tom Wittenberg. David Cox, Tom Dwight. David Wrench, and Lester H. Eck. The student director was Jack Buffington. The play was very well received. It proved to lx a very engrossing production that was enjoyed by all those who attended. Credit is also due to the very efficient stage crew headed by Bob Gluek. The activities of the members of the Dramatics Association were not restricted entirely to Blake’s sole production, however. Several of the boys went down to Xorthrop to assist the girls in their production of “Stage Door.” They were: Bob Graham, Joe Xeumeier. Harry WixKlward. Milt Cohen, and Dave Heegaard. This play was also enjoyed by the faithful playgoers who attended. It is the general opinion of those involved that, although the Dramatics Association only presented one play this year, it was a highly successful year nevertheless. This is especially true in view of the fact that the Dramatics Association was deprived of the able direction of Mr. Howard Jones in the middle of the season. The officers of the Dramatics Association who were responsible for the activities of the group this year were: Milton Cohen, President; Dave Cox, Business Manager; Tom Wittenberg, Vice-President; and Bob Gluek. Stage Manager. 66 Front row: L. Boies, Corbett, Stiles, Buffington. Hack row: Berghuis. Slocum. CUM LAUDE The Cum Laude Society is a national honorary organization that was formed in order to reward boys who have l een consistently high scholastically. It was first founded in 1906. Later, in 1927, Blake became one of the many preparatory schools that were members. It corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in the colleges in that the members are chosen on a basis of scholarship and character. This year six boys were presented with the honor and distinction of becoming members of this organization. All have ranked high scholastically throughout their high school career in spite of the fact that they have been active in sjxirts and extracurricular activities as well. Listed alphal etically, these boys were the following: Bill Berghuis, Larry Boies. Jack Buffington, Larry Corbett, Boh Slocum, and Boh Stiles. The annual Cum Laude dinner was held May 18 at Blake. At this dinner the hoys were initiated into the society. I he speaker at the dinner was Reverend Kyle Haselden, who spoke on the subject “Which Way is Up?” 67 Hack row: I'eland.

In fact, they may have accomplished more than they otherwise would have, for. when released from this crowded cell, they managed to keep their heads above water, their columns al ove board, and their “Call O’Pan’’ above its usual level. Although Henry Chisholm was missed as cartoonist, the “Torch often contained the efforts of that embryonic Sophomore cartoonist. John Regan. Other innovations in the “Torch were the alliterative columns of Harry Woodward, the “just ask opinion column, and the abolition of the Honor Roll. With glass in hand and pipe in mouth, Hob Stiles, the genial host of the horror chamber, directed the hoard through misspellings, poor punctuation, dull articles. Thespian plays, censorship. and assorted gripes. CALL O’ PAN The “Call O'Pan is worth mentioning here, too. For the benefit of color blind students, we will mention here that there is a colored picture in the front of this lx ok; and for the benefit of those who don’t count the lens shots the way our photographers do. we will also tell you that there are more of them this year. Besides these improvements, the cover, just as the expense account, has lieen well padded. These innovations will make this year's Publications Hoard, if nothing else, remembered by the unfortunates who secured hooks under it. The retiring Staff wishes to thank those hoys who took pictures, sold ads and magazines, and participated in activities worth describing in our publications; ]amt ast those who didn't; urge next year’s staff not to examine the books too carefully; and pass the buck onto you incoming officers. Seriously, we want to wish the coming staff luck. 69 Back row: Woodward, Colwell, I)., Dwiglit, Sandy, A., Gluck, Holtnberg, Gallagher. Front row: Leek, Hawkinson, Slocum, Wittenberg, Mattson. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club started the year with Mr. Loren Lund replacing Mr. Janies Allen as director. Mr. Lund, a baritone, set out to teach the club the fundamentals of g x d singing. After a few weeks the group began to take shape. Elections were held, and Bob Slocum, John Hawkinson, Stu Leek, and Tom Wittenberg were chosen as president, business manager, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. Although hampered by a small memliership, the club continued last year’s policy of making occasional appearances in chapel. Several Presentations have been made, containing such songs as “Stouthearted Men.” “Winter Song, and “Grant L’s To Do With Zeal. The group also assisted the Lower Sclux)l in their Christmas play with “Prayer of Thanksgiving. A Slobliershop Quartet comjx sed of the officers of the club, Slocum. Hawkinson. Leek, and Wittenberg, gave a perform-ance at the first Building Fund Dinner. The group did not give a concert this year, but they sang well at both Vespers and Commencement. It is hoped that the size of the Glee Club next year will enable them to give a concert as Mr. Lund has develop'd an excellent nucleus of singers for next year’s group. 70 Hiatt, Hersh, Cardie, Mr. Edie, Stiles, Neumeier, j. DEBATING This year’s debating team under the excellent direction of Mr. Edie had a very successful year with many lively debates. The team debated the other high schools of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas. The debates with these high schools proved to Ik very educational, for by the end of the season all the arguments for and against the issue. “Resolved the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the | eople,” had been thoroughly discussed. The debating teams consisted of John Cardie, Burt Hersh, and John Hiatt—affirmative; Robert Stiles and Joseph Neumeier—negative. The teams were organized at the beginning of the winter term. At this time Mr. Edie helped both teams immensely in procuring material and organizing their arguments. The first debate was held with Hopkins at Blake. Although the hoys were quite inexperienced, they still made a fine showing against the highly-practiced Hopkins team. The two high points of the season were probably the team's trip to Augsburg College and the annual debate in the chapel. At Augsburg the boys competed against the best teams in the city in four debates for both the negative and affirmative groups. Although the boys didn’t win very many debates, several of the ones they lost were by close margins. The season was closed in the chapel with the debate between Blake's affirmative and negative teams. The affirmative was given the nod by the judges, and John Cardie was voted the best debater of the year, an honor he well deserved. Although the season wasn’t as successful as some, nevertheless the three Juniors should form a nucleus for next year's squad. 71 Back row: Scherer, R., Snyder. Smith, Strieker, Drill, Skoglund.

WAITER S During the past year the waiting staff performed the task of serving luncheon to the school quite efficiently. Each of the three luncheon periods for the I’pper, Middle, and Lower Schools was handled effectively by a student headwaiter, a staff of regular waiters, and a number of substitutes. The head waiters this year were Erie I eland in the I’pper School, lack Buffington in the Middle School, and Dana Schmid in the Lower School. The regular waiters receive their meals free, while the substitutes receive 70 cents a day for their services. The luadwaiters each are paid 25 cents a day in addition to a free meal. The food was excellent as usual, and, even though the cost of food has risen again. Miss Berglund has succeeded in maintaining the same luncheon price without sacrificing the quality of the food. There is still much envy apparent among some of the students when they see the waiters’ plates piled high with food, while they receive more modest servings. Also. I King on good terms with Martha, many of the staff have received three or four desserts a meal. The l enefits of waiting are obvious when the financial aid given each lx y is taken into account. 72 THE MOTHERS’ ASSOCIATION Mrs. Arthur C.

I wish to thank the officers, the parents, the masters and their wives for their helpful cooperation in accepting the responsibility of chaperoning school dances and assisting with all other school activities. Mr. Clapp and Miss Berglund gave u help which was both heartwarming and all imjjortant. Mrs. Arthur C. Buffington, President SECOND-HAND BOOKSTORE The Blake Second-Hand Book Store completed another successful year at the close of the Spring Term. As usual, ten per cent dividends were issued in June to all stockholders as well as the additional ten per cent interest to all additional Senior stockholders who must retire their shares. The Book Store benefits many hoys during the year. The organization buys l ooks that are still in good condition at the end of the school year at a price far below that of new books. It also gives the officers good experience in managing and in understanding the principles of a large business. The Book Store, started as an experiment in 1945. has broadened into a successful establishment and should continue to he so in the years to come. President......................Jack Buffington Vice President.......................Stu Leek Secretary ........................Dave Boies Treasurer.........................Bob Slocum Faculty Advisor...................Mr. Phillips 73 FORUM COMMITTEE The Forum Committee concentrated mostly on foreign affairs in giving the students and faculty a very interesting series of six forums. Mr. Kerr-Pearce, the British consul, was the guest at the first forum which was held in the library on October 25. He acquainted the listeners with many of the problems facing England at the present time and especially the economic troubles which led to the devaluation of the pound. Mr. Kerr-Pearce, a genial sjn-akcr, made this forum one of the year’s best. On November 22, Mr. York Omgton. president of the Minnesota United Nations Association, spoke at the second forum. He related the main accomplishments of the U.N. and showed how that experience would help us in future problems. The speaker also outlined the chief purposes of the United Nations. Mr. Robert Kunkle, son of the Blake master, was the guest-speaker at the forum held on Decemlxr first. Using colored slides, he informed the audience of the accomplishments of workcampers last summer in helping to clean up war-torn Europe. The speaker emphasized his intimate contacts with many foreign young people while he was in Europe. A Blake graduate. Mr. Henry Hart, spoke at the first forum of the new year. He also used colored slides to show his experiences on his trip to Afghanistan, made for the Natural History Museum of New York, last summer. He even compared various groups, such as the faculty, to certain Asiatic animals. The Welfare State was the topic of the next forum. Before the actual day. the student lx dv had l een informed that there was to be a debate with Senator Sal-tonstall of .Massachusetts, Senator Humphrey of Minnesota and Senator Hicken-looper of Iowa. However, when the students assembled, they were pleased to discover that Mr. Edie, Mr. Call, and Mr. Barry had interceded for the senators. All in all. it proved to be a very interesting and humorous forum. The final forum of the year was the annual debate. John Cardie and Burton Hersh argued that a direct voting system for the election of the president should be set up in the United States. Robert Stiles and Joseph Neumeier favored the continuance of the present system, the Electoral College. It was finally decided that the advocates of the new system had eked out a victory. Thus ended one of the l� est series of forums ever presented. The topics were well diversified, although not heterogeneous, and the speakers were all well chosen. SHORT STORY CLUB This year the Short Story Club held four meetings during the Winter term, with Mr. Pollock reading the stories. Refreshments were served at the meetings, as is the custom. The first meeting was held at the house of David Wrench on January 22. Two stories were read. One. Zenobia’s Infidelity.” dealt with the difficulties caused hv a pet elephant; while the other, ‘‘The Willow Walk.” told of a man who committed a |K rfect crime. The second gathering was at the house of Joe Neumeier and again featured two stories. They were “The Thinking Machine. the story of an intellectual man, and “Miss Hindi.” a detective story. Bob Graham held the third meeting at his house. The first story read was entitled “The Isles of Spice and Lilies. and was about a man who had lost his memory. The other was a story of the last war entitled “The Snow Goose. At the last meeting of the year, at the house of Tom Wittenberg, three stories were read. The first, and longest, of these was “The White Monarch and the Gas House Pup. It told of a fight lietween two bulldogs. The other two were “You Could Look It Up, a baseball story, and “A Horseman in the Sky, a story of the Civil War. ... We wish to thank Mr. Pollock for assuming the position which Mr. Glenn was forced to vacate because of had eyes, and to express our gratitude to those boys and | arents who entertained the C lub. 74 Hack row: Boos, F., Gluck.

This is the Athletic Association. He is required to pay a set amount per year and by this action is entitled to vote on the election of officers of the club. The officers, together with the captains, managers, and coaches of the various varsity and coefficient teams and our athletic director and treasurer. Mr. Phillips and Mr. Cleveland, respectively, handle the formation of the budgets for all the teams for the following year. They also purchase new equipment for the various teams when needed and select and finance the officials for the athletic contests. The Association also discusses and brings before the school, problems dealing with athletic affairs such as the awarding of major and minor lettters. The officers of the A.A. are elected each year by the student Ixxly, the president and secretary are elected from the Senior class and the vice-president from the Junior class.

Eleven lettermen returned from the 1948 team, hut the first game at Hastings proved that the squad still needed a great deal of game experience. However, bv the end of the season the Hears played like veterans as they won four in a row, ending the season by thoroughly trouncing I«ake Forest Academy. The Bears rolled up 117 points to their opponents’ 58, and after the first game allowed the opposition only four touchdowns. The squad was led by Co-Captains Larry Boies and Larry Corlxrtt, and the attack was sparked by hard-hitting Fred Boos. The Blake line was big and alert, while the defensive play of John Clark was outstanding all season. 77 Varsity Football Hack row: Mr. Wonson, Mr. Glenn, Weiser, Nash, Rogers, Leek, Krogness, Gluek, Jones, Mgr.

BLAKE 12 — HASTINGS 33 Blake's varsity football squad opened its season against 1 fastings and was defeated by the Suburban League team 33-12. Powerful Hastings, which had a winning streak of more than a dozen games, scored first but the game was still in doubt at the end of the third period when Hastings led 19-12. Then intercepted passes in the final period led to two quick Hastings’ touchdown. Boos and Boies scored for Blake showing that the Hilltoppers’ “T” offense was in good shape for the season. BLAKE 25 — STILLWATER 0 A week later, against Stillwater. Blake’s terrific line play crushed the opposition for a 25-0 victory. The entire team showed tremendous improvement. Boos was plunging like a wild bull as he scored three touchdowns, while Dorn tallied the final touchdown. Stillwater was stopped cold on their first series of downs, and after that their offense never got moving. BLAKE 12 — ST. THOMAS 12 A sluggish Blake performance accounted lor a discouraging 12-12 Homecoming tie with St. Thomas. Though the Bears scored first they never really looked impressive. Urbanski of St. Thomas scored twice in the third period, and only Larry Boies’ desperate hut terrific running saved Blake from losing this Homecoming contest. BLAKE 18 — ST. LOUIS PARK 6 The Bears showed a complete reversal in form as they mauled St. Louis Park 18-6 in a night game Oct. 7. The victory was sweet revenge for the eleven letter-men who had suffered a heartbreaking 7-6 defeat at Park in 1948. The Blake hack-field of Boos, Boies, Corbett, and Dorn was unstoppable, and the line, especially guards Lowe and Gluek, played terrific ball. Boos scored twice and Boies once for the Bears. BLAKE 33 — NORTH ST. PAUL 7 The Bears swept past North St. Paul 33-7 in their most decisive win of the season. Although the score was tied 7-7 at one time, the Bears kept carrying the attack to roll up a four touchdown advantage. The game was extremely rough, and Blake’s deceptive T” attack soon paid off in victory. Boos and Boies again led the scoring, and Dorn finally found the range to kick two points from placement and pass for a third. BLAKE 18 — ST. PAUL ACADEMY 0 The Blake eleven continued its excellent play by rocking the Academy 18-0. The Acads had scored against every previous opponent including State Champion South St. Paul, but the Blake forwards were unbeatable, and the St. Paulites never got beyond the Blake twenty. John Skoglund played his best game of the season at end. while Nicky Gibbs was sparkling at defensive halfback. BLAKE 32 — LAKE FOREST ACADEMY 7 The 1949 Blake Varsity concluded its season with the best exhibition of football it had shown all season. The Bears completely befuddled Lake Forest in a sweeping 32-7 victory. Except for a brief lapse in the second period, Blake was in complete control. Boos and Boies scored twice, and Dorn passed to Clark for the fifth touchdown. Skoglund and Corln-tt added the extra points. Lake Forest scored on an 85 yard kick return, hut only after Blake had chalked up a 32 point lead. 79 Lorry Corbel I—A good blocking back and a reliable defensive player. Larry Boies—An All-1 .lake halfback. John Clor c—A fine competitor at end who directed the defensive operations. John Skoglund— An excellent defensive end who should improve in all departments in 1950. COACHES’ COMMENTS 80 Hill Jones—A reliable offensive center and a good outside line-hacker. Ernie Dorn—A hard, shifty runner from either quarterback or halfback. Doug Lotvc — An excellent blocker at guard and an aggressive defensive player. I'.bbie Harry—A rugged defensive end : a line team player. 81 George Krogness-—A big. rugged tackle handicapped by injuries part of the season. Dave Prill—An aggressive tackle who improved from game to game. Fred Boos—A hard running halfback and a steady defensive player. Bob Cluck—Through hard work he became a good guard on offense and defense. 82 Robbie A ash —A capable reserve end who should see plenty of action in 1950. Paul flonimcycr — A good hall-handler and a hard runner at quarterback. Sin Leek— He made steady improvement at tackle. Bob 11 riser — A reserve center whose spirit contributed to the team’s success. Keith Pischcr—An efficient manager. 83 Pete Rogers—The most improved player on tin squad: a capable end who also kicked off. Doug Polliff—A reserve guard with fine team spirit. Nicky Gibbs-—A good defensive halfback. 84 Dave Rotes — Hard to move from his defensive guard position. Dick Larson—An aggressive guard who should help the 1950 line. Jack Huffington—A good blocker at guard who was handicapped by injuries. Dave .Liams—A reserve end who gave the team insurance on the flanks. Dave SI richer—A reserve halfback who should plav a lot of football next fall. 85 Varsity Hockey Back row: Mgr. Schmid. Buffigton. Gluck, Slocum. A. Sandy, Hale. Barry, Mr. Galbraith.

Having lost four lettcmien. there were only five veterans returning. Hut even so. Captain Pete Rogers and Coach “Perk” Galbraith were able to form an aggressive team which won five, lost six. and tied two. The returning lettermen led the team through the below average season, but the squad could not possibly have survived the season as well as it did if it had not been for Hob Gluek. Hob Slocum, jack Buffington, Eb Harry, Hick Larson, and Pete Klass. All of them filled into their positions with great skill and spirit. The first game of the season was against a strong St. Paul Johnson team. The Bears were completely outplayed and were lucky to get off with a 7-1 loss. In the next game the Hilltoppers showed what they could do if they wanted to. The mighty Cretin team, until then undefeated and tied only once in thirty-three tarts, came over to the home ice. For the first two periods Blake was held scoreless. Then in the third period Fritz Boos whipped one into the nets on an assist from Harry. In a few minutes Larry Boies faked the goalie out of position to make the score 3-2. Finally in the last minute of play Rogers shot a long one from the blue line which tied the game. No overtime was played. Hut then the Perkmen slumj ed and were defeated by Breck. 3-2, after leading most of the way. The highlight of the season was Blake’s skating away with the runner-up trophy in the second annual Prep Hockey tournament. The Hears drew St. Thomas, last year’s runner-up, and defeated them 3-2 on Boos’ spectacular long shot in the final three seconds of play. In the second game of the series, the Brown and White tangled with Minnehaha. After Pete Rogers made two g� als in the first two minutes of the second period, and Klass and Boos each added one, victory was assured as the final score was 4-2. Cretin was the op|x nent in the finals and they completely outplayed the Galbraithmen to the tune of 7-1. The team was honored by having three men—Fritz Boos, Dick I arson, and Dave Drill—elected to the all-tournament team. After our fine showing in the St. Paul auditorium, the roof fell in. The archrivals from across the river, S.P.A.. tipped the I lilltoppers 2-1, and three days later Cretin swamped the Bears by a score of 4-0. Winona was the first team to fall in a comeback rally which found the Perkmen winning three, tying one, and losing one. Sparked by Fritz Boos, who pulled the hat trick, the team downed Winona, 5-1. Southwest tied Blake 3-3 before the team travelled down to meet the Carleton frosh. Jamming the goal repeatedly, the pucksters held 1-0 and 3-0 advantages at the close of the first and second periods, and then stepped up the pace in the final period to ram home four quick ones. Klass. Boies, Boos, and Gluek led to the victory. The final game found the Hears playing S.P.A. on the Arena ice. The “Acads were out to win the game but Rogers goal, on a beautiful assist from Boos, dampened their spirit. In the second i eriod they retaliated, and it was up to Boos to ram home the winning goal. At the Winter Sports Dinner, after the conclusion of the season. Perk Galbraith awarded fourteen letters to deserving team-members. The Dartmouth Hockey Trophy was awarded to Fritz Boos for his fine playing throughout the season. 87 Varsity Basketball Hack row: Mgr. Stiles. Corbett. Gibbs, Leek, Weiser. Hawkinson, Mr. Lundholm.

BASKETBALL The 1950 Basket I will Team concluded its season with the best record of any Blake hardwood team since the construction of the field house. The quintet won eleven and lost only three, sweeping the last nine contests. Mr. Lutidholm has finally worked his squad of youngsters into the perfect team unit. It is significant that this year's team was completely dominated by Juniors. The combination of Skoglund, Snyder. Jones. Mash and Clark has grown up with the fieldhouse. Aided by Sophomore Ernie Dorn and hard working Dave Strieker the Brown and White had a winning organization. Blake opened the basketball season December 3rd against Southwest. At one time the bears led 22-16. and later 37-33. however the Indians rallied to take the contest 45-42. The team struggled back from this heartbreaking defeat to edge Eden Prairie 44-43 in overtime. John Skoglund was the whole Blake attack as he garnered 30 points. In the final game before Christmas the Bears were trounced by a well balanced Bloomington team 45-25. After the holidays the quintet really got down to business as they won ten games while losing to Robbinsdale. one of the best teams in the state. I he Bears squeezed by Edina 37-34. Then they met Don Dale and Company. Dale hit 22 ] oints and the Robbins stiffled the Blake attack for a 55-32 victory. Learning a great deal from the Robbinsdale drubbing the Bears overcame all their remaining opponents as team spirit Ixrcame excellent. Minnehaha Academy was the first to fall. Skoglund hit 19 and Clark added 11 points as the Bears won 44-24. Nash was terrific on the rebounds, and at last the quintet had hit its stride. The Bears crushed Mound a week later bv a 41-33 score as Center John Skoglund scored 28 points. Bill Jones and Captain Judd Snyder led the Quintet to an easy 41-22 triumph over the traditional rivals, Saint Paul Academy. The Bears jumped to a 10-1 lead and never relinquished that margin. Jones scored 13 points while Snyder netted 12. Blake was pressed hard to win their next two contests. Columbia Heights was edged out 39-37 only when Robbie Nash sunk a last minute field goal. At Excelsior the entire team was off in its shooting and made a chore out of beating the Blue-javs 47-45. In both games the Brown and White held commanding early leads but let them slip away. With a complete reversal in shooting form the Blakesters crushed Deephaven 41-33. The squad jumped to a 13-0 lead and hit 54% of its shots during the tir t half. Breck was the Hilltopper’s seventh straight victim. At one time Blake held a 19 point lead and went ahead to win 41-31. In a return match with Minnehaha, the private school league champs. Blake again showed their superiority as they won 43-32. Minnehaha led 18-13 at the half, but Skoglund scored 23 points in the second half to spur the team on to victory. Blake’s six foot four inch center garnered 31 points for the l est night of his high school career. The Bears hit a scoring j eak in the season’s final as they toppled SPA again 51-37. Skog hit 26 and Snyder garnered 12 to spark the attack. Captain Judd Snyder was the spark Inhind the quintet's startling winning streak and as team leader was awarded the Selover-Pearson basketball trophy. Though only 5'6 Judd was never hampered by lack of height. He was an excellent shot and scored 111 jioints for the season. Center John Skoglund proved to Ik one of the state’s ln st pivot men as he tallied 276 points for a 19.7 game average. John Clark was a play maker and invaluable on the rebounds. Though Bill Jones had his off nights lie was a definite “hotshot” and a scoring threat at all times as lie garnered 78 | oints for the season. Robbie Nash was absolutely terrific as a rebounding guard, and teaming with Clark and Skoglund he controlled the backboards. Dorn, Strieker, and Gibbs, the only senior letterwinner, were all valuable reserves throughout the season. At last basketball, under the conscientious tutelege of Mr. Lundholm, has fully develo|H d at Blake. 89 Varsity Swimming Back row: Mgr. Lowe, C. HclTelfinger. M. Uelancl, J, Heffelfinger. Gallagher.

Though this year's record is not quite as good as those turned in by Blake teams during the three previous seasons, the swimmers now have compiled 43 victories in the 50 dual meets held in the last four years. This year Hartmann had some excellent returning lettermen, led by Captain Kric Ueland, but he had no divers at the start of the season. Two freshmen. Rusty Swan and Billy Boies did the diving during the year and though not winners this year, they should be of great help to future Blake swimming squads. Though the diving department was weak, Blake had excellent swimmers in the other events. Kric ( eland was an outstanding all-round swimmer. If necessary Eric could swim and place in nearly every event. His favorite race was the backstroke. He turned in the time of 1 :07 which is equal to the best in the Twin Cities, and Ueland could have bettered that mark if he had specialized. However Eric would swim in whatever event he was most needed. In fact lie was one of the best individual medley swimmers in the state. This is an event in which the swimmer must have ability in three different strokes. Eric with his all around ability and great team spirit was an excellent Captain. George Krogness, the team's second high scorer, was terrific in the forty yard free style. He turned in the time of 19.9 this year, and next year as a Senior should continue as one of the l� est swimmers in the Twin Cities. Hommeyer, Dave Boies, Wittenberg, Heffelfinger, and Berghuis were also consistent scorers for the mermen. Blake took its first meet of the season by defeating Henry 47-24. Heffelfinger, Wittenberg, Ueland. Boies, and Krogness took firsts, and George completed the 100 free style in 1:00.1. However, Blake dropped its next meet to Roosevelt, the City Champions, by a 43-32 count. Two days later the mermen topped South 54-21. Krogness and Heffelfinger tcxdv first and second in the 40. and Boies and Berghuis did the same in the 200. while Hommeyer and Riddiford also swept the 100 free style. Southwest was the next Blake victim. Krogness, Wittenberg, and Hommeyer won their events, and Ueland did 1 :08 to take easy command of the kick stroke as Blake won 43-32. The January 27th meet with Rochester was one of the worst lambastings Blake swimmers have ever taken. Four jxx l records were set, one by Eric Ueland in the 120 vard individual medley at 1 :20.6. Nevertheless the score was 66-18. The • tankers recovered, however, to top Winona 44-40 on February third. Krogness did 19.9 in the 40. and Wittenberg did 1:17 in the breast stroke to lead Blake to a 42-24 victory over Cretin. Then the mermen topped West 46-25 as Krogness, Ueland, Boies, and Hommeyer again took individual firsts. Central, the team which placed second in the City gave Blake a scare. Krogness lost the 40 for the second time during the year, hut Boies and Berghuis took first and second in the 200 and Blake went on to win 42-30. Three Blake swimmers were absent from the last meet of the season, and Blake fell again to St. Thomas by a 49-35 score. Blake entered two invitational meets during the 1949-1950 season. They placed third in the St. Thomas invitational as the team took two firsts, two seconds and one third. Eric Ueland set a jxx 1 record by doing 1 :08.5 in the backstroke. At the YMCA the team took fourth as Ueland t x k the individual medley while the Blake relay team placed second. Eric Ueland received the Guy Thomas swimming trophy at the winter sjxjrts dinner while Bill Berghuis won the Arthur swimming improvement trophy. 91 Varsity Baseball Back row: Mgr. Cxiuck. Mgr. I).

JV FOOTBALL A powerful Blake Junior V arsity footlwill team coached by Pete Parks, leveled its opponents to win five of six games this year. The Junior Bruins had good line blocking, good passing, and some good running hut were plagued by loose ball handling. In the first game the JV’s toppled Robbinsdale 13-0. Then they edged past Mound 13-6. The passing of Pete Gillette was the sjxtrk behind the Blake attack. He threw a touchdown pass to Hale in each game. However, in the third tilt against Hopkins, the JY's played ragged ball. Fumbles broke up every scoring drive, and the Bears suffered their only defeat of the season 12-7. Bouncing l ack, the squad won a team victory over Minnehaha by a 20-6 score. Regan Heffelfinger, and Sandberg scored for Blake. The JY’s then eked out a 6-0 victory over SPA and finished the season with a 13-0 spanking of St. Thomas. The 1949 JY was a hard hitting squad with plenty of spirit, especially near the end of the season. Pete Parks has molded some excellent backfield prospects with s|K edv John Regan and passer Pete Gillette, the big cogs. Heffelfinger, Sandberg. and Smith were also good running backs. The line play by Stentson, Schmidt, Richie and Dietz and the kicking ability of Dietz were also notable throughout the season. Many of these Ik vs should help next year's big Varsity Team. 95 Hack row: Sten, Gillette, Cargill, Mattson, Mr. Parks. Front row: Adams. Smith. Losbv, Grossman, Hyde. JV BASKETBALL Pete Parks’ Junior Varsity basketball team split even this year with six wins and six losses. The team had no outstandingly tall 1m vs. Center Dave Losbv, guard Dave Adams, and forward Doug Smith were all near six feet in height but the team had no large pivot man. Nevertheless team work and ball handling kept the squad close to every opponent. The JV’s dropped their opener to Southwest, but defeated Eden Prairie and Excelsior by wide margins. The JV toppled Minnehaha twice and played careful and steady hall to edge a good Robbinsdale squad 22-IS. The squad lost three games by a five point margin—twice to Edina, and once to Bloomington. No one player was outstanding, hut the team of Losbv, Adams, Gillette. Gross-man. and Smith carried the scoring attack throughout every contest. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Hack row: l ampe, Dietz, Thomson, Mr. Parks. Front row: Holcombe. Kelby, Ritchie, Evans, Stentson. 96 MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL A good middle school basketball team finished its schedule by losing only two games out of ten. The only two losses were suffered at the hands of Burwell. In these games Blake was greatly liampered by lack of height. The two best games of the season were the double victories over Groveland. In the Meadowbrook game the tniddlers put on a terrific rally to come l ack from an eight-point half-time deficit. The Middlers’ attack was carried by team captain Jim Dow, Herb Clark, Lundholm, Houtell, Nash, Grundy, and Anderson.

Young Rickie Adams outclassed aggressive George Bodem in the Flyweight to win the decision. Then Billy Boies staged another Boies-stvle brawl as he and Billy Scherer threw punches wildly. Boies carried the attack to win the bout. Macky Hyde needed every bit of his previous experience to defeat rugged Harry Skinner in the Featherweight bout. Hyde scored many clean punches, hut Skinner was aggressive and the decision was very close. John Sten. last year’s Bantam Champ, stepped up to the Lightweight division and defeated Heegaard in a rugged scrap. The Welterweight fight between Dave Strieker and Joe Richie was by far the best light in the heavier divisions. These two 150 pounders slugged and lwxed in this, the best bout of the afternoon. Strieker was adjudged the victor by a close margin. Ernie Dorn won a technical over John Hawkinson in the second round to win the Lightweight crown. Then Dave Drill took his second Heavyweight crown as he decisioned Bob Slocum. The fight was quite go xl, even though Drill outweighed his opponent by 15 pounds. The Browns won the Fly, Feather. Light and Welter bouts to win the cup by a narrow margin. 97 Back row: Mgr. S. Sandy, Regan, Hollander, Bickclhaupt, Cote. Crosby. Front row: Spencer, Mithun, Mooers, Woodhcad, Pillsbury, F Larson.

Later they overcame Edina and St. Louis Park by 3-1 scores. The Jayvee’s season developed many good players who will aid future varsity squads. Regan. Bickelhaupt. Spencer. Woodhcad, Mithun, P.

A TEAM FOOTBALL The A Team, coached by Mr. Butler, finished a rough season with a record of one win. two ties, and three losses. Though the team won only one game, the improvement through the season was spectacular. The A's lost to St. Phillips, 20-6. early in the season. In the return game Blake lost a heartbreaker. 7-6. The same was true in the SPA games. After losing the first, 12-0. the team improved tremendously to hold the Academy to a 0-0 tie. The A’s had a good backfield with Sten, Wurtele,. Riddiford, Newhall, T. Barry, and Hyde carrying the load. Swan, Dorrans, P. Larson. M. Ueland, Cagley and Cote 1 Mastered the line. 98 Hack row: Mr. Hdie, Pratt, Boutell, Thompson, Mithun, Burdick, Boos, R., Whitmore, Mgr. Brown.

B TEAM FOOTBALL The B Team operating from the Kdie box and short punt formations, turned out to be a high scoring team that won three of its five games. The B’s toppled Christ the King, 34-6, and beat St. Joseph. 20-6. but the squad lost both of the important SPA games. The first was lost by a 6-0 count, and the second by a 7-6 score. In the second SPA game, Blake scored on the first play when Herbie Clark dashed 60 yards. Hack row: Morgan, Ribnick, Hjortland, McClain, Hyde, Platou, Lewis, Smith, Wilder, Coach Brcdcmus.

The squad was humiliated by SPA, 20-6, in their first encounter with the Academy but returned to defeat their opponents 7-0 later in the season. The C Team showed its scoring punch in the I-ake Harriet game as they marched to a 26-0 victory. 9 9 r� « • ) • • • i •« • • • • THE LOWER SCHOOL 101 MR. ZAPPE At the conclusion of this school year, Mr. Zappe will have finished his eighth and final year as the Director of the Lower School. During this period he has increased the enrollment of the Lower School from twenty-five students to one hundred thirty-eight. Several of the Seniors in this year’s graduating class were taught by him when they were in the fifth grade. Many of the boys in the Upper School have known him and liked him even though they were never in any of his classes in the Lower School. We of the Publications Staff would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Zappe on his splendid work and accomplishments in connection with the Lower School and to wish him luck for the future. His position will Ik filled by Mr. K unkle. formerly of the Up| cr School Mathematics Department. 102 LOWER SCHOOL FACULTY Dorwin E.

Attendance remained at a high level, and scholarship standards were held high. The interest in good sportsmanship and athletic participation has never been surpassed. The one hundred thirty-eight hoys and their teachers feel that this has been an excellent school year. This was the year of the drive for building funds. The apparent success of this campaign gives assurance that the Lower School will soon have its new home. Another mile-stone of progress will he reached when the hoys go marching into the new structure. As in previous years, the loyal Mothers’ Association has given splendid support to the school and its various projects, such as the extension of library facilities, the planning for grade social functions, and the annual Father and Son Banquet. Much credit goes to Mrs. Edwin Ritchie and her willing committees who led the work of the Association. A joint parent and teacher meeting with Northrop’s Lower School was inaugurated in January this year. The success of this idea assures a continuation in years to come. The boys have achieved distinction in athletics, music, and speech activities. Their demonstrations in games on our fields and in various programs prove their development and versatility. 104 SIXTH GRADE Teachers: Robert Close (left) Franklin Jf.pson (right) Front Row, left to right: Gage, Conrad: Miller.

American farmer-bmine—men tUl their soil to produce more food, fiber and oils for the benefit of them Helves and all mankind. Each year they produce tremendous quantities of food at low cost using modern methods and machines like MM tractors, implements, Huskors, Corn Shellers, Bale-O-Matics and Harvesters—and because they use modern methods and modern machines our farmers can also conserve the producing power of their land. Progressive farmers realize that when the top soil is gone, the land can no longer economically produce good food. That is why conservation methods are a “must” for all farmers. Yet everywhere people are hungry and must be fed. So the bounty of our land is spread over the world in the hope that when hunger is gone, the scourge of threatened war, j.n and war itself, will go too. MM1 Our Modern Machines and Mod-kkn Methods are also available to the rest of the world when they are ready to accept them. As long ns our farmers and people are free, with hope of personal progress for work well done, and all this edds up to something good for all mankind, just that long can the people here and elsewhere in the world depend upon America’s bountiful harvests. To those who look for facts, the basic industry of agriculture stands as a symbol of what private enterprise can do for nny land where men are free to challenge the elements, the soil, and all the circumstances of life —each in his own way to the best of his ability. Here the man of the soil can make a substantial contribution to the welfare of all mankind . . . be-y—j cause he has found a way of | r(„' life combining security with lVT,i personal liberty.

Chances are you’ve already learned something about life insurance— in school, from advertisements, or from your parents. But we’d like to suggest that you read an interesting booklet prepared by the Institute of Life Insurance, entitled The Story of Life Insurance. This booklet will give you a good picture of the meaning and uses of life insurance—facts and ideas you’ll find helpful later on, when you’re on your own. If you'd like to have a free copy of The Story of Life Insurance, simply write to North American Life Casualty Company, 1750 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis 5. P. S.
