Richard Nunez Cardozo Entered Blake in 1948 Cum Laudc; Business Manager Dramatics Association; Manager Varsity Football and Basketball VI. “Far be it from me to insult the pun! —H ugo Carleton If, in the midst of a Senior Room chess session, a hearty, very-niuch-anuised chuckle is heard to emerge from the pleasant face above, one can be sure of one thing—Dick Cardozo has just enlightened the crowd of kibitzers with one of his remarkable, if not funny, witticisms concerning the surrounding events. Although Dick's puns often draw more of a groan than anything else from his listeners, he must be considered as some sort of wit in the class of 52. During his career at Blake, Dick has made a name for himself in many fields. As a scholar, Dick has always been among the top five in the class, and has always helped in keeping the class average high. After serving faithfully in the Dramatics Association for three years, Dick finished his sojourn at Blake as business manager of the Association. At this task Dick did an admirable job to better the financial standing of the D.A. Although Dick's name has not appeared on the starting line-ups of any school teams, he has heartily supported Blake athletics as the manager of many teams. This year alone, he managed both the varsity football and basketball teams managing to supply the demanding team meml ers with towels, socks—and any other necessary items. As Blake's sole member of the press club, he has furnished the city newspapers with results of Blake athletic events over the past year. To Carleton, where Dick will journey for the next four years, will come one of the finest scholars and citizens of the class of 1952. •SATCHEL----- CARBOZO” •DICK” 29

Thomas Myron Cagley Kntereci Hlake in 1943 Golf V, VI—Captain VI; Glee Club VI; Hockey VI; Waiter VI. (). I am stahb'd with laughter.” —Shakespeare Oberlin Upon driving away from school any weekday afternoon, one might behold a strange sight down on the “A” team field. For there is an ambitious looking character batting a golf ball back and forth down the field. W ho is this bear for punishment? Why Tom Cagley of course. And why is lie doing all this work on the A” field. W ell, although some say it is all jiart of a scheme to trim off a few pounds, the truth is that Tom is the captain of the 1952 golf team, and lie is merely perfecting bis shots for the next match. However, this common incident is really typical of the jolly individual pictured above. For this winter, lie started the hockey season as a hard-working defenseman on the J.V. squad. Hut, midway in the season, Coach Galbraith needed another defenseman. So up came Cag—and started out by scoring a goal in bis first game, and becoming a real asset for the rest of the season. A well-known member of the senior class, many recognize ”pear-sha| e by bis natty selection of Hawaiian sports shirts and bow ties; while others can spot him a block off bv bis high-piercing cackle of humor. Indeed, it is his lively sense of humor that enlivens many a dull moment at the waiter’s table. Tweezers was one of the charter members of the class of 1952. and in all those years seemed content to spend his weekends “out wit da boys”; but this year Cag fooled us all and became one of the first to lose his ring. A very able student,Tom’s name has often adorned the Honor Roll, despite the rigors of cliem. physics, and senior math. One of the most pleasant dispositioned fellows in the class. Tom Cagley is headed for success at Olxrlin. “SNAGS” “TWEEZERS” “CAG” 28

Robert Thorpe Cote Entered Blake in 1945 Varsity Baseball VI; Dramatics Association Yi. “()ncc to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. ’—Lmvell Carleton Way hack in the days ‘’jellv-helly.” “Whitney.” “powder puff,” and Chief NVonson did this happy individual join our midst. When Boh first entered Blake in the sixth grade he immediately became one of the most genial and popular lads in the class. Xow. as one of the nucleus of the class of 52, he has remained that same genial and popular soul. In his many years at Blake, Bobbo has always supported athletics energetically as he has, at one time or another, been a mainstay on probably every coefficient team in the school. This fall, Bob seemed headed for a fine season as a tackle on the football team, but with a hit of bad luck, he injured his leg and was out for the season. However, despite this disappointment. Bob kept his good nature and again showed his classmates the workings of a truly fine disposition. In the spring, Bob’s baseball abilities have earned him a spot in Mr. Edie's outer garden where lie can be seen hobbling hot grounders with the best of them. Scholastically, Bob is certainly a better-than-average student. In fact, this year lie even ventured into that elite group of lads to try their hands at Senior Math and Physics. Bob’s weekend life is a subject of much discussion and controversy among the Senior Room critics. But despite the constant ribbing he receives. Bob continues on his way, wiser and happier than many of his critics. Wherever Boh g x s next year, he will be surrounded by many friends, for his pleasant disposition can’t help but attract people to him.
