As the school year began, the class of '55 took on their new role as Seniors with the usual enthusiasm. The first problem to confront the Seniors was the job of decorating their newly acquired room. Many plans were made, such as painting the ceiling black and the walls pink and gray, and building a small mez- zanine-type Hoor over half the room upon which the various games of chance would be played. The furni- ture was to include two or three Morris chairs, two lounges, a desk, curtains, tapestries and portraits, and all the necessary lamps and tables to make the room look as distinguished as possible. The Senior Room ln the beginning, all the Seniors were willing to make many sacrihces and donations to further their cause. Even the faculty generously donated their couch to the cause. When the boys finished moving the couch, they realized the faculty's reasons for purchas- ing a new one and so graciously giving away the old. However, the right half of it was usable, and in case of emergency one could actually lie down on it, pro- viding, at a quick glance, he could recognize the good end from the bad. Finally, through the donations of all its members, the class acquired some second-hand furniture and the usual moose head and signs. When one of the bigger Seniors tried to balance himself on the highly-prized, mahogany Duncan-Phyfe table, it was reduced to rubble. After this untoward beginning, the rest of the new furniture seemed to disintegrate. In their new role as Seniors the Class of '55 found Northronites bold . . . the World Series diverting . . . The Seniors . . . To say that the Blake Seniors were above having their fun would be a misstatementg for as one master expressed it, This is the most juvenile Senior class in school history. During the first month two cats arrived at school, but because of their lack of training, Mr. Cleveland decided that they should leave. Fortunately, a home was found for one of the cats, but the other climbed into an open air vent and was not heard of again. As the usual New York Times fights and Senior games of chance occurred, observers felt that the Seniors were falling into the rut of all Senior classes. But the Class of '55 proudly points to its scholastic rating. ln spite of the difficulty of the Senior year, the class usually ranked second among the other forms. The Seniors found that most of the subjects were being taught with the slant toward college cours- es. With tlie new interest in courses and the freedom of Senior year, the class felt that it was the most en- joyable of their years at Blake. 15 Norfhrop . . . Our friends at Northrop seemed unwilling to let the year start quietly. Une morning they struck and managed to break into the Senior Room. Once in- side, the girls went wild and were unwilling to stop until they had committed larceny. The Blake Seniors were undecided as to whether they should report the crime to the local police or the F.B.l. Fortunately the conservative members of the class gained control, and with the realization that girls will be girls, they de- cided on a course of passive resistance. and cats entertaining but illegal. lsxerv scnior has been able to contribute something to the senior room whether it be 1 moosehead, 1 I lCl1O, pl lying c irds or just good old fashioned noise Mike s contribution is the long lost art of hand wrestling He has beaten all Cl1Z.1llCI1UCI'S and is therefore the un crowned champion or the entire school Hand wrestling ming He has been swimming on Blakes team for four years As captain, Mike led this year s team to an above 1x erage season He is an accomplished diver and has won ox er 80 fo of his 1955 dixing exents In the spring, Mike turns his athletic attentions to tr1ck He will probablv run the 440 this year Most boys h1xe You complain that the epigrams which I write are long You yourself write nothing, your attempts are shorter Martial MICHAEL BERNARD ABRAMSON Ente ed Blake in 1947 Swimming VI V IV III Captain VI Track VI V outside interests of one sort or mother 1nd Mike is no diflcrent He is an ii 1d coin collector 1nd has 1n excellent collection Besides the fict rhir this collec tion h1s 1 xcry high monetiry xaluc it is one of tht most complete collections of Amer1t1n coins Coins howex er, 1re not Mike s sole interest Like most Bl ikc tics At almost all Blake so ial functions Mike can be seen with a be1ut1ful but mysterious Ll'lIC Mike pl ins to be 1 do tor ind will study medicine 1t the Unixcrsi ty of lVIinnesot1 We 1re certun that uhcitcxer Mikt does, his Good nitured PLI'S01l'll1Iy ind willingness to Work hard will make him 1 success 'it it I . . . , y Q -- . 1 y u ' ' '.

Chumley's Rest prepares for Elwood P. Dowd. This year, under the very able direction of Mr. Gregory, the Blake Dramatics Association presented ul-Iarvey,,' a three- act comedy by Mary Chase. Because of a very cooperative stage crew and Mr. Gregory's patient instruction, this play proved to be one of the most successful performances that the Association has ever put on. The fact that Northrop Audi- torium was over-flowing on the night of the performance assured the Association of a substantial Financial success. For the first time in years the Association has a well-sized profit to show for its efforts. The debt to the school has been paid off, and there still remains over one hundred dollars in the Asso- ciation's bank account. The main theme of HarveyU revolves around an eccen- tric, middle-aged gentleman named Elwood P. Dowd, whose DRAMATICS Mr. Gregory discusses a scene with stage hands, Steve Adams and Tom Otter. Elwood P. Dowd meets Dr. Sanderson best friend is a tall, invisible rabbit called Harvey. The main action of the play is the humorous efforts of Elwood's sister, Veta Louise Simmons, who is trying to have Elwood committed to Chumley's Rest, a home for the mentally ill. A merry mix-up follows when Veta Louise is confined instead. Veta and her unmar- ried daughter, Myrtle Mae, have their lawyer, Iudge Gaffney, sue Dr. Chumley of Chumley's Rest for mis- conduct. The romantic angle of the play is between Dr. San- derson, the young assistant of Dr. Chumley, and Miss Kelly, the nurse at the rest home. Further romance and a great deal of humor are added by the presence of Wilson, the strong-armed intern at the sanitorium, who is attracted to Myrtle Mae. Everything turns out well in the end, for Elwood is allowed to roam around free when Veta decides that, perhaps, Harvey isn't such a bad fellow after all. Myrtle Mae Simmons . .

There were only eight lettermen returning, and when Mike Rusten, one of the eight, had to quit after two weeks because of breathing difficulties, the situation became even worse. However, through hard work and excellent coaching, the team enjoyed what might well be called a success- ful season on the gridiron. The Bears won 7 and lost 1, racking up a total of 155 points to the opponents 20. The success of the season was due in part to excel- lent coaching by Bill Glenn and Chief Wonson and in part to all out effort by each individual on the squad. The team and coaches together toiled through four weeks of long practice sessions before the first game. They worked meticulously on blocking, tackling, and running, hitting dummies, hook blocking each other, slamming the crouther, and finally scrimmaging. All these maneuvers contributed to a precision-like offense and a tough defense. In the opening minutes of the first game with An- nandale, the Hilltoppers were plagued by fumblitisg however, they soon settled down and over-powered the hard-hitting Annandale outfit by the score of 26-0. The following week Wayland Academy came up from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to play Blake. This game was expected to be one of the toughest of the season. Although the score, 260 in favor of Blake, seems to indicate a lop-sided game, it was far from being a pushover. Blake played four excellent quarters in this game both offensively and defensively. On two occa- sions the spectators had a laugh over two peak inci- dents which seldom occur in a football game. Twice in a row Wayland was forced to kick on fourth down and both times the ball came down and hit one of the Blake players on the helmet, only to have Wayland recover for hrst down. For the third game Blake trav- eled sixty miles to Cambridge where they played their only game under lights. The game was even for the first quarter, but Blake's superior offense and defense began to show in the second quarter. lt was then that Andy Hommeyer broke loose through the middle for a 60-yard run. The third quarter of the Cambridge game was probably the best-played single quarter of the entire season. The Bears scored two touchdowns besides holding the opponents to no first downs. The final score was Blake 28, Cambridge 0. Little did the team know that the eighteen game winning streak sitting under their belts at this time was to be broken down at Shattuck the next week. It happened, though, in a driving rainstorm. But there can be no alibis. .lunlor VBYSITY xx Tl r 1 e o y U11 e 1 o t ll Slllwtlll ill cl L D X Q ll illl Xtll x1 l11111l Nttytn e 11 lttllt KI ll XX11 1 1 11111lle11 R nert 1 os1 so 1 ll Do I1 Iellt 1 'yfaeder Penton S Lar on manager The Bears were l1cked falr and squ1re 70 Tl1ev eame If The l1st g1me of the season was played at Blake back the next week to beat a tough Concordn te 1m 70 From start to f:lf1l5ll, If was a defenslye duel I who fumbled the b1ll Andy Hommever p1eked 1t up and ran for the only touchdown of the glllle After that If w as a close b1ttle 111 the w1y w1th nelther te 1m penetratlng deeper than the oppos1t1on s 70 y1rd l1ne Indeed, the Hllltoppers were back on the w1nn1ng end Mr Crlenn W IS worr1ed about the flet tl1 If 1 mental letdown would follow the Concordu glme however when the glme w1tl1 Breck came, the letdown cert 11n ly ehd not manlfest ltself The BCITS IT11klL few mls takes 1n thls glme They play ed excellent footblll 1nd wh1pped Breck 37 0 They pl 1yed 1 stubborn M1DHtllllll te 1m for tl1e1r next game From the spectators pomt of new th1s game was prob 1bly one of the most LYCIIIHQQ glmes they ll eyer w1tness Mmnehahl was le1d1ng Blake 15 7 at the end of tl1e th1rd quarter Bl1ke h 1d made several m1st1kes whleh cost them lf le 1st two farst downs 1nd maybe ey en two touchdowns In tl1e fourth quarter the Slfll 1t1on w IS extremely hal b11t the te 1m st1 11111 th If fasfhtlnsf Splflf Wlth the odds 1g11nst them, they took the b1ll hrst and ten on Illell' own 15 yard l1ne 1nd be1f1n one of tl1e most lifllllllll football marches 1n Bl1l1es ll1SIOI'N E1 hty seyen WII'llS they marched and droye tl1e ball across M1nneh1h1s goal 1ne w1tl1 S P A It was HOmCCOmlDg and the last football game for 17 senlors Th1s Hnal effort of the season was though the Bears fa1led to score ID the Hrst half, It was ey1dent th1t the SPA team was t1r1ng Inyur1es on Illtfll' team became frequent and the spark they had to st1rt w1tl1 was no longer there When the Blake team came on the held for the second half they were 1n ll'lSp1I'LLl ball club determlned to defeat the stub born SPA outfit Defeat them they d1d and handlly too Tl1e second half of that game was the best all 1round two qu 1rters of the season Blake scored twen ty po1nts th at half, leaymg the Hnal score at 200 for Blake At the football banquet, the announcement of all eonferenee select1ons was made On the offenswe team were Andy Hommeyer and Tom Wh1tmore, and on tl1e defenswe team were Ierry Erlckson, Bob Myhr 1nd Steve Adams Andy Hommeyer was also selected for the all metropol1tan team Steve Adams was aw lfkltel the Glenn Wonson trophy for the boy who has deyeloped l11s natural ab1l1ty to the greatest degree 1nd Vkllfl through l11s sportsm1nsh1p and conduct, has best represented h1s school and team The W1ll1ams Alumn1 Footb1ll Cup for the best football player of the se 1son w as presented to Andy Hommeyer To ch max the b 1nquet, Bob 'Viyhr and Don ohnson were named co capta1ns for next year s football team 1 Ilaeli R11 ', left to 'ghtz M .

Al- though limited to a third place ranking in the tinal M. I. S. L. standings, the squad climaxed the season by winning the M. l. S. L. Tournament in three well- played games in the Bethel College Gymnasium. In league play Blake handily won both games in the home and away series with Breck, S.P.A., and Pillsbury but worked to win similar games from Coa- cordia. ln the first Concordia game, Matt Baskin's free throw with only seconds remaining, pulled Blake into a 49-all tie. In the ensuing overtime Matts win- ning basket was in the air as the horn sounded. Shat- tuck defeated Blake convincingly at Faribault, al- though the score was tied at 44-all early in the final quarter. A determined Blake team was edged out by Shattuck in their return game by the virtue of two free throws in the last seconds. ln the Hrst game with Minnehaha the red and white opponents roared oil to a ll-0 lead, a handicap Blake was unable to overcome. ln the return game Blake was away to an early lead BACK Row: Rogers.

Baskin jumps high for a rebound. but faded fast before a 'Haha five which shot with amazing accuracy in the latter stages of the game. On the S.P.A. floor Captain Baskin set a new league rec- ord by scoring 17 baskets and II free throws for a total of 45 points. It was good that Matt had his shoot- ing eye in this game, since no other player managed to score more than four points. In non-conference games Blake easily defeated VVayzata and swamped Lester Prairie but lost to Roose- velt and state champion Washburn. Blake played well against both city teams, but the latter's reserve strength could not be matched in the latter stages of the games. Against Washburn in particular Blake matched basket for basket during the first half but were outdistanced as the Washburn reserves maintained the high stand- ard of play set by the regulars. In the M.I.S.I.. Tournament Blake defeated S.P.A. 52-41 to earn the right to play Minnehaha in a semi- final game. The following night the Hilltoppers played their best game of the season and won an upset rivalry against the league champions who had defeated Blake by a margin of 22 points just a week earlier. In this game the offensive and defensive play was brilliant and will long be remembered by those who saw the game. In the tournament final, Blake defeated Con- cordia by one point. Concordia had played excellent ball in the tournament, upsetting Shattuck and win- ning from Breck in the last seconds, and it maintained its excellent play against Blake. The game was close all the way but with less than a minute to play Con- cordia led 50-48. Skip Burkeis long shot tied up the game, and lohn Iigermayers free throw gave Blake the one point lead that it maintained, despite Coa- cordials last second attempt to pull ahead. In the post- game ceremonies Captain Baskin was awarded a berth on the all-conference team and the all-tournament team. For the second consecutive year he was hon- ored by being namezl the Most Valuable Tournament Player. Captain Matt was a valuable player indeed, but Blake was not a one man team. Skillful passing by for- wards Gross, Iigermayer, and Rogers took full ad- vantage of Matt's 6'8 and resulted in easy shots near the basket. Good defensive work by guards Burke and Lane held down the scoring by the opposition. Myhr, Whitmore, Erickson and Widdess were capable re- serves and contributed much to the successful season. At the Winter Sports Dinner Matt Baskin was awarded the Pearson-Selover trophy and Iohn Iiger- mayer was elected Captain for the coming season. With Egermayer, Lane, VViddess, and Myhr as a nucle- us and with several capable players coming up from the I.V., the prospects for a good season next year seem reasonably bright. Even with over 50 boys out for hockey and the prospect of a new third rink, Mr. Van Santvoord didn't look forward to a particularly good year. At the end of the season the record for the team stood at seven wins, twelve losses, and one tie. Blake finished in third place in the MISL standings and advanced to the semi-finals in the post-season Prep School Invitational Hockey Tourna- ment at Williams Arena. During the vacation period Blake lost its first four games to strong opponents. The team's first defeat came at the hands of Wayzata, the second place team in the Lake Conference. In the next game of the holidays South- west completely outplayed Blake to win an 8-0 decision. Southwest went on to take the runner-up position in the State Tournament. Then Blake dropped a 5-2 game to Roosevelt, but the team showed a great improvement during the last two periods. The same type of game followed the next day as the Alumni, with many college players, outlasted the Varsity 8-3. In this game the team came back to outscore the Alumni 2-1 in the last two periods. Blake's first victory came at Breck during the first league test. The score was 4-2. That Friday the team heat Concordia with relative ease, 6-0. The next Tuesda Blake lost a touvh ame at Shattuck, I-0. In this game goalie Y 0 g Steve Adams was injured and was out for the rest of the season. HCCKEY Crctin wing slips the puck by :Xl Peck.

The next meet found the tankers at Shattuck where they were de- feated with a score of 25-52. Then under Coach Iohnny Hartmannls guidance the swimmers learned the value of hard practice, and the team overcame its third opponent, Southwest, 55-55. battled for top positions were Lynn Iacobson, Ion Forster and Ward Lewis. The divers for the season were Captain Mike Abramson and Ion Platou. Cer- tainly Mike Abramson showed great leadership and set a high example for the team by winning first place in all but a few of the events in which he entered. With University High defeated again by a score of 59-16, the team faced St. Thomas for its last meet of the season. Blake fought hard to win in this event and excitement ran high when half way through the meet the team was two points ahead of St. Thomas. Blake pulled ahead with just one event to be completed and now the whole meet rested upon the relay team consisting of Tom Gessner, Ion Forster, Mike Abram- son and Don Iohnson. And as it was fitting that the 92 . When the undefeated St. Thomas team toppled Blake with a 21-54 score, the mermen's hopes seemed to fall only to rise once more. University High proved to be an easy victory, since most of the opponent's team was made up of younger boys who were given a chance to show their form in the 53-17 victory for Blake. Next Cretin faced the squad and lost 45-52. Blake surged ahead to make Marshall its fifth victory 58-25. During the whole season Sig Ueland showed such good form that he either took a first or a second. His understudy, David Kelm, with practice, should do as well next year. Ted Perkins and Don Morris placed consistently in the 100 yard free style. Bob Owen and Dave Plimpton were of great value this past year. With water churning and a feeling of great excitement in the air, the mermen fell to the City Champs, Roosevelt, 50-453 but the tankers rose again to defeat Voca- tional 52-25 and West 55-22. The three new breaststroke men who team should end the season with its greatest victory, Blake won with a score of 40 - St. Thomas 55. The last contest of the vear came with the Y.M.C.A. Annual Invitational meet. Iohnny Hartmann was very surprised and pleased to see the victories made by Blake. Lynn Iacobson took third in the breaststrokeg Sig Ueland placed fourth in the backstrokeg Mike Abramson came in third in the diving, and the relay team of Tom Gessner, Ion Forster, Mike Abramson and Don Iohnson took a first place bettering the time of last year's team. At the Winter Sports dinner Mike Abramson re- ceived the Guy Thomas swimming trophy, while Sig Ueland won the Arthur Swimming Improvement award.

TRACK This year's track team went into its second season with eight returning lettermen, many promising new boys, and a new track area. The returning lettermen are Greg Fellows and Tod Miller, last year's milersg Mike Abramson and Ted Perkins, low-hurdlersg Dick Dorrans, half-milerg Tom Caswell, last season's confer- ence dash champion, and co-captains, Tom Gessner and Lynn Iacobson. These men have been challenged in their events by many new boys. Coaches Chub Bettles and lack I-Ieald were all smiles when seventy-five boys showed up the first day of practice. Many of the lads are Middle-schoolers, Freshmen, and Sophomores, and the coaches are effi- ciently building toward future teams. Sophomore Nick Widdess has taken over the high jump, Dave Pratt has done well in the quarter mile, and Bill Moffett and Tom Whitmore are the contenders in the weight events. The team's first competition was in the State Indoor Track Meet. Tom Caswell placed fifth in the 60 yard dash. Nine other men competed and, although none placed, they all gained much-needed experience. The team's next two meets were with the vastly more experienced Lake Conference teams. In the first meet the team defeated Wayzata, but was slightly out- scored by Mound and Minnetonka. In the next meet Blake fell victim to Minnetonka and state champion Hopkins. In these two meets everyone not only made new friends but also got in condition for the conference tilts yet to come. This conditioning greatly helped the team, for Blake was able to defeat both Concordia and S.P.A. in its first conference trial. The final score was Blake 52, S.P.A. '51, and Concordia 26. Tom Caswell not only woii the 220 and aided in the winning of the relay team, but also broke the conference record in the 100 yard dash by running it in 10 seconds.

Under the able coaching of Mr. Martin, the team won one, tied two, and lost four. The I.V.'s first game against Edina was a thriller played on the home rink. Going into the last minute of the third period the score was tied at 1 to 1. How- ever Edina scored and captured the game 2-1. Blake next tied S.P.A. 2 to 2 when the game was called after 2 overtimes. The third straight home game was played against Minnetonka. A victory for Blake was chalked up in the win column, for the V's whipped the xisitors 6 to 2 Next the team flZ1XClCd to S P A for a return game Going into the third period Blake led 1 to 0 but SPA exploded for 3 goals and won 31 A return engagement with Minnetonka there was the I.V.'s next game. An improved Minnetonka team held Blake to a 3 to 3 tie after the game was called follow- ing 1 overtime. Two Hnal games were played with Edina on the varsity rink. An experienced team beat Blake in both games 2 to 0 and 3 to O. The I.V.'s main trouble was not being able to hold a lead in the third period. Bob Iacobsen scored the most goals on the team. Also Ecklund, Fischer, Nash, Smith, and Brown were the first string. The 5 fresh- men on the team made up the second line and defense Tom Smullen vias a Hll in for each string Finally the IV s would like to thank Mr Martin and freshman coach Mr Heald for their steady work with the team Pxck Rem left to right Middlennst Niarfield Bennett Brackett Smith Xlr Nfartin coach Xlmmr Ron Vtinslow I' Adams T Crosby BIOVWII Baskerxille Smullel 11oxT Ron S Larson manager Fcklund Bash The el Jacobsen l Daxton ' 1 e L ' u v . , . . . , I K . . .. . , . . ,.
