Mark Hastings Alexander Soccer VI Basketball VI Golf VI B Club VI Dramatics VI Whenever one sees cards spinning gracefully across the senior room, he can be sure that Mark Alexander is the culprit. Although he was new to Blake this year, Mark quickly gained admiration from his fellow students. He is a hard working student who is not afraid to give his opinion on any subject. I le also enjoys participating in several outside activities. Mark plays soccer, basketball, and golf and likes dramatics as well. His ability at soccer won for him the respect of the squad. Mark played in several games as a substitute; however, his teamwork and natural prowess soon earned him a sjx)l on the fust team. Likewise in basketball Mark’s will to win helped him and the team to many victories. He seemed to shine best in golf, and again the entire squad appreciated his help. Though Mark may be shy and quiet to an outsider, anyone who gets to know him well, as did many of those squad members, will realize that his spirit and determination are the key components of his personality. 30 ALEX
