Luther adds that Lar should know because he is generally accepted as being a real ‘“thorny on women. Wayne McLeod is dreaming of Italian girls and eating pizza at the Senior Table when A1 Hazen arrives and puts his hand in it, mistaking the pizza for an old Muzzey. Fritz Bud Corrigan and brother Kjcll Mathieson stride through the Trophy room on skis arguing whose name should be engraved first on the skiing trophy. Senior Room activity. As we walk towards the Library, Doug Platt is vehemently telling Rudy Moor that “the Kenwood Car Pool” can’t possibly fit into Rudy’s Opel. In the library itself, )im Fish is diligently studying from reference books which arc considered contraband goods outside the library. Ed Druy and Lowell Hawk-inson have spent the night filibustering in the Lamb Alcove to block Jack Kuchn and Doug Crane, who are trying to introduce a new concept contrary to Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation. Jack Hanold was originally referee in the debate, but his thoughts soon reverted to “Guys and Dolls, and he began to shoot dice in the corner. Now, as we move toward the Publications Room, we pass Mr. Glenn’s room, where Johnsc is awaiting the start of a class. Steve and Joe Beach have just discovered a new metaphysical idea in the Air Mail Pilot. Bob Donaldson disagrees, and the prospect of a long debate is realized by both sides. Now, in the Publications Room, Dave Larson has just organized a resistance movement comprised of Simey and Mancc Mitchell. Chuck Cornell is absent from the cell meeting because he is installing a new bull-nose on the Red Chev. Simey will be gone shortly too, because the time has come to journey to MacDonald’s for the afternoon hamburger. And overlooking the entire Senior Class is “Big Daddy Ken Solstad, who is looking for cartoon material and, more important, trying to discover whether American youth arc becoming socialistic as a whole. As one can see by the above paragraphs, there arc as many tastes in the class as there arc members. The greatest contribution of which the Class of 1960 can boast is a record of extracurricular activities and outstanding leadership in supporting school functions like dances and athletic contests. Despite the lack of sometimes artificial school spirit campaigns, it has been said that the “school spirit has been greater this year than in many previous years. This can be attributed to the Class of 1960 and especially to its devoted class adviser, Mr. Glenn. The Seniors were very fortunate this year in again securing Mr. Glenn as the class adviser. He has been more than an adviser; he has been a devoted friend to every member of the class. The fact that he has been chosen every year since the sophomore year is ample proof of the high esteem the class holds for him. Over the past three years he has never been too busy to talk to any boy about class activities, grades, or college plans. The Class of 1960 will forever be indebted to Mr. Glenn for his devoted leadership throughout our last three years at Blake. Mr. Glenn, class adviser 23

James Carson Agnew III Entered Blake September, 1951 Swimming III, IV, VI; Track VI; B Club III, IV, V, VI; Dramatics VI; Forum Committee VI. “My affection, although sometimes subtly covered, excludes no one.” Young When Jim entered Blake as a fourth grader, the senior class gained a good-natured and contributivc individual. He is always willing to help a fellow senior and is a large contribution to the heated discussions in the senior room. As a matter of fact, when these discussions become quite vehement, he can be seen in the midst of the brawl. He is a largely-built individual and often takes advantage of this asset. One of Jim’s greatest assets is his natural ability in swimming. He is one of the most important members of the swimming team and has lettered in this sport since his freshman year. Besides Jim’s interests in sports, he is also a member of the Forum Committee, which has presented to the school representatives of several stimulating topics. Jim is also very interested in South America, and in order to further this interest, he has taken Spanish and is avidly studying the history of this fascinating continent. During the last three summers, Jim has been a counselor at a camp in Canada, and last summer he also worked at the Aqua Follies. These activities outside of school show Jim’s interest in the vast life of the outdoors. In the future, Jim plans to attend an Eastern college where he hopes to take courses to prepare himself for work in the Federal State Department. Jim is a great fellow and truly a worthy member of the Senior Class, and whether or not Jim ends up in the State Department, the Senior Class wishes him the best of luck. AG, JIM, WHALE
