QeoXge bouglai Cleveland Out of the mass of skaters comes a little figure that speeds determinedly toward the opponent's goal. It’s George proving that size docs not have to be a handicap. One might think that George is not active in athletics because of his small stature, but he would be mistaken. By his hart! work he has earned a berth on the Hockey anti Tennis Teams for two years. During the Christmas vacation George was always one of the first boys to arrive at hockey practice. He has worked several hours trying to j crfcct his skill at this sport. Cicorge receives much kidding about the many girls he takes out, but he never seems to mind. In fact he enjoys the opportunity to rebuff his tormentors by his lively humor and excellent come-backs. George rarely misses an opportunity for an argument, but although he argues vigorously he never loses his temper or his friends. But his life is not all play. During the summer months he works to earn spending money. George willingly recounts his adventures to all listeners. As any Senior will tell you, George can have fun doing the most serious work with no loss in seriousness. The tension of many hockey games has been relieved by George’s humorous remarks. His quick wit and good-naturedness will assure him many friends wherever he goes. 22

He kicked the starter and was off in the clamor of meshing gears. After gaining speed on the level, the midget car started up a shallow incline where, nearing the top, the motor quit, and the car sputtered to a stop. Jim Campbell's Monster” had failed again to conquer this insurmountable hill! Jim’s creation is just another example of his unique and ingenious mechanical ability. Actually, he has tried to improve or perfect many devices, among them a remote control garage door and now a revolutionary automobile engine. However, Jim’s talent in mechanics is not his only achievement. Unknown to many people, lie was one of the first kitchen helpers in the history of Blake Waiters and also holds the dubious honor of eating the most food of any boy at Blake pound for pound. He is also a member of both the Glee Club and Dramatics Association. However, Camp’s” greatest achievements are in the field of athletics. He has been on the Varsity Swimming Team for three years. His speed and competitive spirit make him an essential part of the team. With his ingenuity, knowledge, and winning personality, Jim will certainly distinguish himself in college and later life. 21

Daniel UJillaxd Coken The first sight that catches a Senior’s eye as he enters the Senior Room in the morning is a figure majestically draped across a couch. This form is Dan, who is resting before a long day's work. Although he receives much kidding about his laziness, Dan is really one of the hardest workers in the class. He took, among other things, one of the hardest jobs in the school—THE CALL O’ PAN—and has spent many tiring hours in its completion. He spent nearly all of his spare time thinking up new and original ideas for the book. One of the most familiar sounds in the Senior Room, besides the television set, was Dan’s voice de- scribing his new cover. Dan is also the owner of one of the most famous of all Blake landmarks. This is a red Oldsmobilc which he affectionately calls “The Red Rider. He has received a bit! of ten dollars for his car, but Dan says he will not sell it for less than fifteen. No one knows how he is able to get from place to place in his car, but he never misses a social function. It is easy to pick Dan out of a crowd; for his sportscoats are second only to Ovic’s in loudness. Dan is certain to be successful at any college he chooses. 23
