JOHN EDIE, A.B., A.M. (Princeton, Columbia, University of Minnesota) History Mr. Edie's knowledge of politics and history and his ability to see both sides of a question have won him a place of honor in the school. Any debate on matters of political or historical interest usually ends up in Mr. Edie’s room for arbitration. Mr. Edie teaches Senior history and Second Form geography. He also coaches the Debating team, usually a good one, and heads the Forum Committee where his acquaintance with people from all walks of life is of invaluable assistance. He also heads the baseball coaching staff and has a hand in football coaching. FRIDOLF N. LUNDHOLM, A.B., A.M. (Augustana, University of Iowa) Mathematics Mr. Eundholm teaches geometry and algebra to the upper school students. The best indication of his teaching ability is the thorough understanding that his pupils have of both of these courses. His activities are by no means restricted to academic subjects; Mr. Eundholm coaches JV golf during the spring term and Freshman basketball during the winter months. He also has the trying job of supervising the bus schedules. Mr. Eundholm has the understanding and patience that every good teacher must have in order to have full cooperation from his students. MERWYN EARL PARKS, B.S. (Iowa Wesleyan, University of Iowa) Director of Athletics Mr. Parks has one of the most responsible tasks in the school. As Athletic Director, he must coordinate all the athletic events throughout the year. Equipment for our diversified sports program must he purchased and officials reckoned with. As if this were not enough, Mr. Parks may be found every day, dealing with those wayward lads who persist in eluding the daily exercise. East year Mr. Parks had much to do with the formation of the new M.I.S.E. and was personally in charge of several tournaments put on by this league. Mr. Parks is admired and respected by all for his outstanding efforts in promoting Blake athletics. ♦Minnesota Independent School League 13

However, Mr. Lundholm’s efforts are not all devoted to the academic life, for during the winter months, he coaches the Varsity Basketball squad. Obviously. Mr. Lundholm is one of the busier members of the faculty. LEONE NUNAN (Northwestern University) Middle School Speech For many years Mrs. Xunan has indoctrinated the younger boys in the art of public speaking. She helps each boy overcome his nervousness and teaches him to speak in front of an audience.

Mrs. Xunan is responsible for the Wilson Cup Contest for public speaking and for the wonderful Christinas program given annually. Her impeccable ability in this field has won her the respect of all.

DONALD W. BUTLER, A.B. (University of Maine) History Mr. Hutler has the unbearable task of teaching ancient and modern history, and World Problems to Korins III through V. On the athletic held Mr. Hutler coaches the Freshman football squad and the general sports group. Mr. Hutler is probably best known as Blake School's Mr. Republican. Although he claims to be an independent voter. Mr. Hutler is regarded by most students as an out-and-out Conservative from Maine. Perhaps this is because of the strong verbal support he gave Eisenhower during the campaign anil his pre-election debate with Mr. Edie. Mr. Butler's ability for leadership has been shown by his being elected Senior Class Advisor several different years. WILLIAM SCOn LOYE, B.S. (University of Minnesota) Mathematics Mr. Loye has been in charge of “intermediate” mathematics for several years now. His ability as a teacher has prepared many lx ys for the headaches of advanced math by giving them a firm foundation in the rudiments of that course. This year Mr. Loye took over management of the Athletic Store, and for the first time in many a year it has run efficiently. Mr. Love also takes a personal interest in the activities and sports around the school. He is liked and respected by everyone in school. HEINZ, J. OTTO, A.B., A.M. (University of Delaware, University of Indiana) German, Latin Since he came in 1949, Mr. Otto has done his utmost to maintain the high standards of Blake’s language department. Any boy who has had Mr. Otto in either Latin or German will agree that he has made the course an interesting one. I le has also taken the responsibility of directing general sports and softball, which task is at times a very trying one. All of Mr. Otto’s students have gained not only skill with the language but also the ability to think clearly and a bit of personal philosophy to aid them through life. 14
