R. ALLAN CLAPP, A.B., A.M., Ed.M. (Oberlin, Harvard, Columbia) It was with the (leejx st regret that we, the students of Blake School, heard of Mr. Clapp’s resignation. From his first day, in the winter of 1946, Mr. Clapp impressed everyone with his energy and leadership. Despite the disadvantage of starting in the middle of a school year. Mr. Clapp soon adapted himself to Blake life and at the end of the year was well acquainted with students, faculty, alumni, and customs of Blake. Xext year's seniors, especially, will miss Mr. Clapp; for it is the Headmaster who deals directly with each senior when it comes time to apply for college. With each year presenting different problems as to college entrance requirements and standards, the Headmaster faces, each year anew, the difficult problem of recommending colleges to seniors. As part of an effort to make these choices successful, Mr. Clapp makes a tour of Eastern colleges each year not only to see the college situation firsthand, but also to visit recent Blake alumni and follow their progress. Despite the many difficulties and problems facing him in this task, Mr. Clapp has done a remarkable job in securing for most l oys an acceptance in the college of their choice. In all cases, his hard work and conscientious effort with the hoys have lieen appreciated. Outside the school, Mr. Clapp has been active in civic and church affairs, rising to the position of Chairman of the Board of Deacons at Plymouth Congregational Church. Mr. Clapp’s fine record of achievements at Blake speaks for itself : lie is a man who will be greatly missed in the future bv his many, many friends at Blake. 12

NOAH SYLVESTER FOSS, A.B. (Dartmouth) Head of the Middle School, Latin Mr. Foss has been at Ulake longer than any other master. He is noted for the exceeding strictness and care with which he conducts his many Latin classes, and his worthy assistance as faculty advisor for the Union, where his invaluable comments and suggestions are heeded by all. Mr. Foss is active in every school affair and can he seen attending all school functions. His main duties include judging of various school contests throughout the year. His position as educator and disciplinarian has won him the respect from every student and master in school. PRESCOTT COYLE CLEVELAND, B.S. (Union) Assistant Headmaster, Director of Admissions, English Mr. Cleveland is perhaps one of the busiest masters at Blake. Aside from his worthwhile efforts to add color to the writing of his many English students, he has the burdensome task of policing the study hall after lunch, where he supervises the meditation of numerous mistehavers. A sympathizer with the student Ixxly in their many faults. Mr. Cleveland is well known to his proteges for his many philosophical dissertations and his mildly sarcastic reprimanding of wayward lads. Mr. Cleveland’s ability and the respect and esteem in which he i held by hoys and masters alike are apparent to all who know him. HAROLD HODGKINSON, A.B. (Clark) Physics, Chemistry After 25 years of adding new and tetter equipment to his chemistry and physics lab at Blake, Mr. Hodgkinson finally realized his dream, when the new science wing was completed last fall. His classes are some of the most interesting in school where his clever wit and the piquancy of his remarks lend a unique flavor to his scientific discussions. His |H r-sonal interests lie mainly in the field of music, as he is an accomplished violinist in his own right. Truly a year under Mr. Hodgkinson is an experience which should not be missed. 13
