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

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

This statement characterizes Bob’s desire for higher learning. This desire for knowledge has gained for Bob continually high grades despite his difficulty with Physics. During his free periods one can find him in the library diligently working to raise his grades. Perhaps it is because of his studies that Berg doesn't And time for the fairer sex. But this docs not mean that he is not present at school functions. His loyalty to Blake exceeds that of most boys as proved by his hard work for the school. Any one who has attended a dance here at Blake has seen Bob either at the door cheerfully taking tickets or behind the refreshment stand busily handing out Cokes. Bob is known to all his classmates as one of “the Senior Room entertainers. His lively descriptions of masters and students have caused many outbursts of laughter in the Senior Room. Outside of school Berg takes a definite interest in cars. He is one of the few boys in the class who know any more than the difference between a bumj cr and a fender. He will modestly deny his knowledge of cars, but any discussion on this subject is not complete without Bob. Because of his hard work Bob is assured of success in college. 18
