We dedicate this hook The wisest man could ask no more of Fate than to be simple, modest, manly, true.—Jeffries Wyman. Mr. Noah Foss retires from the Blake faculty this June after forty-two years of service to this school. He has taught us all a discipline of body and mind that can be found in no text or grade-book. He is a Latin instructor, yet his teaching reaches far beyond the mechanics of language. He is Union adviser, yet his counsel is sought by Blake activities of all varieties. He is a sports spectator, yet his support of Blake athletics is given to every player on every team. Mr. Foss is an integral part of Blake, representative of the dignity of his school and his profession. No tribute can repay him for the years lie has dedicated to helping others. Early this spring Mr. Cleveland addressed a Mother’s Association Tea; his words expressed the feelings of all who have known Mr. Foss. Blake is losing the finest teacher it has ever had, lie said, anti the finest man I have ever known.” His contribution to Blake can never be measured in time alone; his devotion and loyalty will stand unaltered with the passing of the years, a constant reminder of Blake’s best loved and most respected friend. 4

Mr. Cleveland The Blake faculty is composed of earnest men and women who arc prepared by temperament, training, and experience to cope with the needs of a private school student body. Their devotion to their jobs is exceeded only by their ability to meet the multitude of situations they arc called upon to face in the course cf a year. We appreciate their patience, understanding, and tolerance. We respect their judgment, sense of fair play, and guidance. Mr. Cleveland has distinguished himself both as an administrator and a teacher. Mow in his second year as headmaster Clove presides over the most efficient administration in Blake history as well as teaching his Senior Knglish classes with a thoroughness and good humor that have made him liked and respected by all who know him.
