JEFFREY RALPH DOW Every day after lunch or even during classes, faculty and students arc alarmed by the tremendous uproar that arises from the Senior Room. But they should not think that every member of the Senior Class contributes to the commotion, for there are a few boys who are quieter and less vociferous than most of the Seniors. Among these is Jeff Dow. Ever since he entered Blake in the Second Form, }cff has been one of the quietest and calmest members of the class. He is also one of the few boys who seldom lose their tempers, a quality that many others envy. led takes part in many activities both in and out of school. He is manager of the varsity basketball and baseball teams and also a member of the Glee Club. One can always find him at the school dances with his girl friend.

RALPH jeel, occasionally adding his own opinions. In the traditional Senior “Poker Parties, which have become weekly events, “Homer always wins at any game he plays. He is frequently around the “wheel in the Senior Room, winning consistently also. Of course Jed has other outside activities, too. In the fall during the hunting season, he goes up to northern Minnesota or Canada to enjoy a weekend of hunting, his favorite sport. He has a keen interest in collecting guns, and he calls this his most important hobby. And this winter Jed visited Florida with some other Seniors. Jed plans to go to an Eastern college such as Trinity or Brown. Wherever he goes, we arc sure that he will win the respect and friendship of everyone he meets. “Cleanliness is a great virtue; but when it is carried to such an extent that you cannot find your books and papers which you left carefully arranged on your table, it becomes a bore. Charles B. Fairbanks “I know it’s Monday, but I thought I’d come anyway. 28

After an unusually rugged afternoon, “Coach” would enter the locker room with the comment, “My boys did fine today. Mike has further shown his energy in a variety of activities around the school. Under his leadership the Dance Committee put on a successful Football Dance, and as President of the Dramatics Association he led that organization to a very good year. Outside of school Mike's interests turn to cars. He was a charter member of that great institution of bygone years, the “Road Knights, and on any week-end he can be found staring at an old wreck he has picked up and scratching his head trying to figure out a way to make it run. Mike also likes to tinker with radios as well as with his pet tape-recorder, which sees considerable use in Mr. Edic's History lectures. Senior Room “bull sessions arc continually dominated by accounts of his latest love affairs. Because of a willingness to work and a friendly relaxed disposition, Mike will certainly find success in the years to come.
