Earl Evan Crabb II Entered Blake September, 1955 Wrestling IV, V, VI,; Dramatics VI — business manager; Publications V, VI — photography editor V; B Club, IV, V, VI. “When in doubt, win the trick.” Hoyle During his years at Blake, Earl has maintained a fine academic standing and at the same time, has entered into many activities. A consistently good student, “Graf is especially interested in math and science. He has definite aptitude in these two fields and was recently chosen as a semi-finalist in the Merit Scholarship program. The school activities in which he has participated are-numerous. Earl is on the staff of the Torch, is business manager of dramatics, and has been a photographer for publications. Graf’s best sport is perhaps wrestling. In fact, he is probably the most determined member of the squad. Although he has never won a match, he has been pinned only once! Outside of school, Earl has many interests to which he devotes much of his spare time. He has done a great f ' t deal of experimentation in various fields of photography. He owns a sailboat and does quite a bit of sailing on Lake Minnetonka. And, finally, he has done much work with radio transmitters. During the past summer Earl chucked his worldly cares and took off for Europe. He spent his days there educating himself by viewing historical monuments to mankind. He spent his nights by just educating himself. Perhaps the outstanding feature of Earl’s character is his willingness to help others. It seems that Earl is always glad to give up some of his own time to lend help to someone who really needs it. This quality is a fine asset and it will certainly be beneficial in whatever he docs. After graduation, Earl plans to attend Williams College where he will probably major in some field of science. 30

Colebert LeRoy Andrus, Jr. Entered Blake September, 1953 Swimming IV, V, VI; Debate III, IV, V, VI; B Club IV, V, VI; Publications VI — Call O’ Pan cartoonist “Wisdom and wit are little seen.' Bercreton In the six years that Colebert has been at Blake, he has earned the respect and friendship of everyone in his class through his character, scholastic ability, and willingness to help. He is neither an introvert nor an extravert. Although he is quiet and easy-going, he has a quick wit and a good sense of humor. He is always prepared for any argument or discussion, largely because of his four years of training as a debater. Colebert’s sports interests center around swimming and tennis. Even though he is not a born athlete, “Lightning” was an important member to the swimming team, winning three letters. Scholastically, he has always been near the top of his class. Because of this Colebert is constantly being asked for help on a math or physics problem. When he is not bent over his books studying, “Andy makes drawing and cartooning a hobby. Both the Blaise Torch and the Call O’Pan have used his cartoons. During sixth period he can be found in Mr. F. Lundholm’s room, usually drawing cartoons or caricatures of the faculty. Among his other hobbies is the art of deception. As a magician Colebert has gone beyond the beginner’s stage. About the only thing beyond his jxnvcr is pulling the rabbit out of a hat, and that is only because he lacks the rabbit. As a person, as a friend, as a scholar, few can surpass Colebert. Blake has been very fortunate in having such a student. As his talents increase, the college he attends will be even more fortunate. Andy, the class of ’59 wishes you all the luck in the world! 29
