FACULTY Blake has long prided itself on its excellent faculty. The men on the Blake faculty are almost entirely responsible for the success, academic or otherwise, that countless Blake graduates have met at college or in later life. Aside from the academic side, they help the Blake student immeasurably with his own person-al problems at school. The wisdom of the Blake master has long been respected bv the students. In the following section we have summarized briefly each individual faculty member.

PRESCOTT COYLE CLEVELAND, B.S. (Union) I leadmaster, English After thirty years in the English department, Mr. Cleveland stepped into the position of Headmaster here at Blake as though he had been at it for thirty years. His deft administrative touch resulted in one of the most successful and smoothly run years that Blake has ever experienced in its history. In addition to all the duties involved in handling school affairs, Clevc also finds the time to teach the Senior English course for which he has so long been renowned. Perhaps the most striking and most significant feature of Mr. Cleveland's first year as Headmaster is the Open Door Policy. The door to his office is always open to any student who has anything that he wishes to discuss with him. The most frequent visitors this year were Seniors who wanted to talk about college plans. Mr. Cleveland took the time to confer fully with every Senior concerning this vital subject and made an extensive trip to various Eastern colleges in February to survey the situation first hand. Mr. Cleveland’s sparkling wit, sound counseling, and exceptional ability have won him the high regard of all those who know him or who know Blake School. 10
