Jonathan Wentworth Brown Entered Blake in 1943 Dramatics Association VI, V, IV; Publications VI, V, IV; Feature Fditor VI, ; Dance Committee, Forum Committee VI. “Everyman tor himself, his own ends, the devil for all. —Burton Harvard “That cat's gone.” W ith these words Jon begins another dissertation on the finer points of Jazz. For many years, he has been an avid fan, as can Ik observed from his knowledge of the subject, his fine collection of records, many of which would probably he classified as sheer dissonance hv musical classicists, and front his many appearances at local jam sessions. However, Jazz is not the only interest of this happy, pleasant young man. Jon finds great satisfaction in reading, and, when not out on a date, which usually is the topic of lengthy discussion during the week, he can Ik found sitting quietly at home in a delightful environment with two or three volumes opened in front of him. Being very independent. Jon went to Germany alone last summer for two months. From listening to his tales, and from knowing him. one certainly gains the impression that his vacation was not only very educational but also very enjoyable. In school, Jon also has l etn most active. Although he has had difficulty making the honor roll in the last few years, Jon has always 1k ch in the top half of his class. In athletics, Jon has probably associated himself with the most difficult of all sjxjrts—Parks dodging. Unfortunately, because of misadventure, he has lately had to forsake this pursuit and take to basket-tall and tennis. However, nothing will really deter him from trying to escape the athletic field in favor of dramatics and school publications. Next year, fon journeys off to college where he is sure to he a success. May we wish you the lx st of luck in all your endeavors, Jon! 25

David Graham Colwell Entered Blake in 1949 Dramatics Association VI, V. IV; Glee Club VI, V, IV; Swimming V, IV, III; Baseball Manager VI. “Everything ends with song.” —Beaumarchais Carleton Since he entered Blake, “Little Dave has had the somewhat unpleasant distinction of being the smallest member of our class. This position has made him the object of much kidding, but Dave has taken it all with his typical good-natured ness. Perhaps the greatest of Dave’s attributes is his unusual wit. One might not suspect Dave of such ability until he suddenly bursts out with an adroit remark on some subject. Dave has put these talents to good use in dramatics, coming up with many good roles. In athletics Dave's main interest has been in diving for the swimming team. After three years of hard work he was rewarded with a third place in the MISL meet at the end of last year’s season. This year, because of an unfortunate attack of polio, Dave was unable to dive. In addition to his swimming, Dave has shown great enthusiasm for the Glee Club. Socially, no dance is complete without a Charleston exhibition by Dave, for he is one of the few Seniors who can actually perform this “dance. Dave’s consideration for others and his ability to l e always alert and good-natured should win him many friends all through his life. 27
