Glee Club VI; Dramatics Association V—Vice President VI; Union V. VI; Publications V-Co-Editor CALL O' PAN VI; Swimming V. 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

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

Glee Club V, VI; Dramatics Association VI; Tennis VI; Swimming VI. William {Jewett Cullen If you ever walked into the Senior Room this year and saw a huddled mass being madly bounced on the couch or being stuffed into a laundry bag, you could be sure that it was “Wild Bill Cullen. From the time Bill first entered Blake his smile was one of the most notable in the class. Even as his head ap|)ears from the laundry bag, his face will lx- red anti smiling. Bill will long be remembered for his participation in swimming. At the Ixginning of his Senior year, he was persuaded by his friends at the Senior lunch table to take up swimming. Bill followed their advice. As a matter of fact, he became so enthusiastic over the sport that he practiced while attending open houses. Although Bill has never taken part in waiting on tables at school, he has had vast experience in handling dumb-waiters. Bill has other interests also. He can produce the most amazing shots on the tennis courts that one has ever seen or will ever see. He has one other interest, but it has nothing to do with Blake. This interest lives in Deephaven and is one of the subjects that Bill is always good-naturedly ribbed about. We arc sure that with his sparkling humor and amiable personality Bill will be a success both in college and later life. 24
