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

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

Glee Club V. VI; Baseball V, VI; Football VI; Hotkey-Manager VI. Qeotge (Bonnet t From the depth of Ovic’s basement come the gentle, clear notes of a bass, accompanied by the rest of the band. George is in the midst of another jam session with his noted bass. George’s popularity in music has developed through his characteristics of determination and good-naturedness. To perfect his bass playing George took lessons that have enabled him to use a bow with his bass as well as pluck or strum accompaniments. His determination showed itself this fall as time after time George would race down the football field after one of Chiefs passes during practices. No matter how many times he had run, or how tired he was, George was still good for one more. In his studies and in hockey this same ability of determination has earned his classmates’ respect. But George is not all seriousness. Far from it. His classmates will always remember him for his broad, toothy grin and well timed jokes that added so much to parties and discussions. Outside of his school interests George is an expert at hunting and fishing. But most of all George likes to talk about Detroit and the Detroit teams. Seniors have conceded many a sports argument to George’s expert knowledge of sports Detroit-wise. With his determination and good-naturedness George will make a success not only of college but also of life. “The music in my heart I bore. Long after it was heard no more.” William Wordsworth 19
