In school Tony is a member of the Dramatics Association and the Glee Club. In the school play he had the second lead; ami in the Glee Club, his fine tenor voice adds greatly to the quality of the music. Yet even with all these extra activities, Tony is still able to get honor marks. He is a hard worker and never quits until lie has done the job completely.

THOMAS HUNT BENNETT Entered Blake in 1944 Call O’ Pan VI; Tennis VI; Glee Club VI. HEAD Ever since Tom entered Blake in the first grade, he has been one of the friendliest and best liked members of his class. He has to put up with a good deal of kidding from some of his classmates, but he takes it all in his stride and is never offended. Tom has been helpful to the Dramatics Association as a ticket salesman and as an usher and is a member of the Glee Club. He is always ready to help John Haugen out by writing an article for the “Torch at the last minute. Although he is not known for skill as an athlete, he can always be seen working hard on the tennis court in the fall and spring and on the hockey rink in the winter. Outside of school Tom likes to occupy his time hunting and skeet shooting. His marks have been fairly gootl, and he always works hard. He spends most of his time in the library and docs not join the less industrious Seniors in the Senior Room except before chapel and after lunch. While he is there, he is always ready to join discussions or to give his classmates some exercise when they feel they must try to throw him out the window. Although Tom docs not attend many dances and parties, he is a great friend of everyone in the class. Wherever he is, his good-natured laugh can be heard. His friendliness and willingness to work have won him many friends at Blake and will certainly Ik great assets to him while he is at college anti during the rest of his life. 24

He is Co-captain of the track team and has never been defeated in any M.I.S.l. com-jKtition in the 1(X) yard and 220 yard dashes. Tom is good humored and his distinctive laugh may Ik heard any day during a free jKriod in the Senior Room. Indisputably, he is the Senior most in love. On weekends, faithful Tom may be found in Edina, which he describes as “my home away from home.’ He avidly supports those few activities in which he docs not participate. When “Cas” leaves for college, Blake will lose one of its most affable and well-rounded students. Tom, how can anyone Ik so smooth ? Tom has been described as the most industrious Senior in the Class of 1956. Because of this quality he is respected by faculty and students alike, and he has gained a high scholastic standing. But he docs not excel only in academic activities, for he is well known for the energy he displays in his extracurricular activities. He is active in the Glee Club and Dramatics Association; his work this year in Publications has also been much appreciated. He is also a member of the Union, that select group of school leaders which meets to discuss school problems. But perhaps Tom's greatest achievements have been on the athletic fields, for he is not only Co-captain of the Browns, but also President of the Athletic Association.
