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. Jeff is very interested in the opposite sex and listens attentively to Senior discussions on this sub- Knterrd Blake in 1951 Charles E.

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

DAVID JOSEPH FISCHER Entered BUke in 1948 Publications IV, V, VI—Call O’ Pan Copy Editor VI; Dramatics IV. V. VI; Waiter VI; Track VI. POSSESSOR. DAVE BOY After lunch every day you can see an arm come out of the Senior Room door to snatch some unfortunate underclassman who happens to be walking by. On the other end of this arm you arc sure to find Dave Boy.” Although Dave is the tyrant of the Senior class, he gives the underclassman only a tongue lashing, which they think is as bad as a paddling. “Possessor is noted for being one of the better story-tellers in the class. Whenever you see a crowd of people around him in the Senior Room, you may be sure that he’s at it again. Although not always true, his stories arc always interesting. Although Dave isn’t very active in athletics he’s been on the track team for two years. As an editor of the CALL O’ PAN he spends his free time working diligently on this book. Dave also works hard as a waiter, and he docs a good job, as he does at most o' the jobs that he undertakes. He also had a large part in the play given by the Dramatics Association this year. Outside of school his keenest interests arc jazz anil church work. He is very active in the youth group and acolyte guild. Dave Boy probably has the finest collection of records in the class, and he frequently talks and discusses jazz, primarily Dixieland. He can be found at Senior parties hovering over the wheel, winning money hand over fist from the “big o| crators. He will always arrive at class functions with one of the cutest dates and he has “gone steady a few times this year. Dave hopes to go to Brown, but we know that he will be a great success at any school. Good luck to a grand guy, Possessor. “It it not only fine feathers that make fine birdt. A. E. SO Go, Dave Boy.
