Blake School - Reflections / Call O Pan Yearbook (Hopkins, MN)

SENIORS Because this book is essentially a senior book, you will find that the major part of the book is devoted to the seniors themselves and their activities. In most cases the Blake senior has spent four or more years at Blake. A few have attended Blake for their entire school life. Thus, the seniors have contracted all of the tradition and most of the knowledge that Blake has to offer. A picture of the senior class is therefore a picture of Blake. In the following section we have devoted a page apiece to each individual senior.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One Septemljer morning in 1943 the sun rose to see the four founders of our class take their first long journey through the wilds of Hopkins to the third grade in the old Blake Junior School. These illustrious personages were none other than class wit Bill Boies, dapper John Crosby, Basketball Captain Bill Dietz, and “Farmer Paul” Schmitt. These founding fathers were joined later in that same year by play-skip|K r extraordinary Jon Brown and Kitty Heflfelfinger, who deserted the sunny beaches of California to Ik- able to attend Blake. Miss Hauser’s fourth grade was augmented by “B.B. Ritchie, star tennis player, Football Captain Dick Stenson, and Class President Gene Yeates. These last three bovs arrived just in time to Ik- initiated into Bill Boies’ infamous “Hitler Club.” After a lapse of one year, boys again began to pour into our class, which now rested at the sixth grade. “Happy Harry” Ford and Bill Scherer found themselves accompanied by those two intellectuals. Johns Lampe and Thomson. For our entrance into the upper-school, the class of '53 received four more unsuspecting lads to add to its number. These hoys included Tom “the Horse Evans, photographer Amos Deinard. that slinger of fine hunting parties Steve Olmsted, and last but certainly the most handsome boy in our class. Editor of the Torch. Dave Riddiford. Doug Holcombe. Larry Keefe, and Don McCaull made up the addition to our class when we entered the eighth grade. These boys are remarkable specimens in that they have received no nicknames as yet. 22
