Robert Scott Cornelius Entered Blake 1955 Wrestling VI — manager; Baseball V, VI — manager; Glee Club III, IV; B Club V, VI. CUM LAUDE “Speech is great, but silence is greater.” Carlyle Anyone who has driven past the castle on Lake Calhoun has marveled at its size. Those who brave the ferocious dog which guards the grounds find that the beauty of the house is not limited to the outside. Indoors the mechanical mind of Bob Cornelius is responsible for a very fine stereo high fidelity unit in the living room; in the basement is a model train layout with a home-built control center; and the shop contains a wood-working outfit, a drafting table, and an ingeniously furnished chemistry laboratory. “Bocuf’ has even spent his summers at his fathers plant making tools and dies. This experience will prove most beneficial in his major at Stanford: mechanical engineering. Even though Bob has two younger sisters and brothers, he still finds the time to work on his many projects. His patience and good humor make him a welcome part of his family and social life. Bob is also a member of the Youth Group at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. One of Bocufs most conspicuous contributions to Blake was his management of the baseball and wrestling teams. His ready car, attention to details, and head for figures lightened the load on both teams. Bob also wrote occasional articles for the Torch and snapped Call O' Pan pictures. Bob, a consistent first honors student, won the AATF French Contest and placed third in the National Mathematics Contest. He set a record for high marks on chemistry tests. As the little blue Valiant with the sign “Made in dcr Black Forest by dcr elves” wound its way down the hill for the last time, Blake lost a truly generous and able scholar. CORNE-DEBOEUF, CORNY

Actually, Scotty sends out so many Christmas cards to his sweethearts each year that he has to work for the post office as a mailman during the holidays. Scott came to Blake on a scholarship and has served as a waiter all his four years. During the fall he is an avid touch football player, and in winter and spring he participated on the hockey and baseball teams. This summer Scott worked as a lifeguard at the Edina Municipal Pool. The rumor is that many a bathing beauty was saved from drowning in the shallow end of the pool. Coon” is as proud of his driving record as his diving record, for his only offense was a ticket for overparking in front of the City Hall. Scott plans to attend the University of Minnesota. With his sense of humor he should bring many more laughs to the campus across the river. SCOTTY COON 28

Samuel Andrus Cote Blake School first met Sam Cote when he entered in seventh grade. At that time “Sambo began to carry a purple brief ease in a quiet way. This habit identified both Sam and his future interests. Sam was a very quiet student. He frequented the Senior Room only for an occasional game of bridge, for he found that he could study more efficiently in the library. His brief ease hinted at his business interests: he spent much of his time in the Publications Room as Assistant Business Manager. Sam put down his brief case once a day to pick up a lunch tray. As a first-lunch waiter he still kept his polite manner and unhurried attitude. Along with Sam’s quietness and politeness is the virtue of modesty.

In his senior year Sam took up swimming “to learn how, but he soon showed the ability of a veteran. He managed the outstanding tennis team for two years, and between solos Sam acted as personnel manager for the Glee Club. Luckily for the school, Sam has also brought his personality to groups outside Blake. Members of his church youth program, Camp Lincoln, and the Downtown YMCA have all benefited from one of the best representatives that the school has ever had. 30 SAMBO, UNCLE SAM
