Doug Andersen is one of the “charter members of his class, since he entered Blake in the fifth grade. During his years at Blake, Doug has steadily risen to the top of his class, both academically and athletically. His name can nearly always be found on the honor roll, as he ranks in the up|»cr quarter of his class. Andy takes a deep interest in Blake, perhaps because he has s| cnt so many years here. This interest is shown in the many extracurricular activities he pursues. On the athletic field Doug participates in Varsity Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Doug is also a member of many other extracurricular organizations, having participated in every activity the school offers. Because of his interest in Blake, Andy was elected to the Union in his senior year. Any one attending the numerous social affairs can readily see a red-haired, freckle-faced boy for Andy rarely misses a social function. When he has extra time (which he says is hard to find), he spends it tying flics. His major collection of flics won him a third place at a recent Minnesota State Fair. Doug’s friendly attitude and consideration should insure his success at the University of Minnesota. 16

II aid ll aidnei c4dam£ When Ward enteral Blake in 1952, he easily made friends with both the faculty anti student hotly of the school. Since then his genial personality and desire to advance himself have carried him to the top. In his first year at Blake he was elected member of the Union, captain of the Browns, and president of the Athletic Association. Although he showed up for football practice in the fall of his first year, he was incapacitated by an injury. This, however, did not keep him from extending his athletic abilities into other fields. He is an ardent tennis player and has been on the Varsity for two years. Ward is gifted with the ability to display a type of subtle humor which contributed greatly to otherwise drab Senior Room bull-sessions. “Coach” has many outside interests as well as his school interests. During the summer months one would often find him cooped up in his garage where he builds outboard racing boats. This, along with opposite sex associations, is his greatest outside interest. However, he is also a ski enthusiast and occupies much of his time in the winter with this sport. Ward has procured an excellent record in his two short years at Blake, as a result of his continual striving. Whatever he takes up in the future is sure to be a success. 15

He plays by car and can readily carry through any tune he hears. His musical talent has also carried him into a five-piece combo, which has played at several school dances as well as other social affairs. For the last two years Jim has been a member of the glee club. He also accepted the responsibility of writing the music column in the Torch” on various occasions. In athletics he is an ardent tennis player. Many humorous anecdotes are heard time anti again about his antics on the court. Another source of amusement to his classmates is that old, drab, faded blue relic that he calls a car. Although he has been asked what he paid for it, the answer is always shrewd enough to keep the amount an unnamed sum. Yet, amid all the unbearable ribbing and kidding which is administered, Edgar has held up well. One never secs Jim without that warm smile of friendliness which helps to make him one of the best liked members of the class. Since he is eager and conscientious, he will surely succeed in whatever he undertakes. Good luck at Amherst, Jim, and may you have all the rewards you justly deserve! 17
