DEDICATION As members of the Blake student body we read of Mr. Henderson’s many public appearances and his successful attempts to familiarize groups in the Minneapolis area with our school. As athletes we know him for his enthusiastic support and frequent attendance at contests. As participants in extracurricular activities we welcome his interest in established organizations and his encouragement of new ones. After only one year we feel that we have come to know Mr. Henderson. It is unlike Mr. Henderson to go halfway in meeting people. He became acquainted with us as he introduced himself. After his first week at Blake he called boys by their first names. Soon after that he was well enough acquainted with the seniors to help them with their college decisions. He understood our customs and organizations so well that he delivered before the Union one of the best speeches ever given on the meaning of Chapel. He instituted a unique Christmas service with his reading of humorous selections from Roark Bradford. Mr. Henderson has become a vigorous and vital part of Blake School. As his first graduating class we are pleased to dedicate the 1961 Call O' Pan to him. 9
