In an era of increased moral and political awareness students have begun a series of struggles for better draft laws, a voice in politics, civil rights, and the rights of minorities. They arc entering areas which have been ruled previously by unchallenged doctrines. Although their struggles sometimes become violent, today's students arc better represented by the young campaigners in this year's Presidential contest who sought to express their dissent by working within the existing framework of government. Students are sincere in their criticism. As a source for new ideas and as a force for change, thev will make their mark. Change is inevitable and students want to have a part in it. No longer are the youth of America content to be indifferent about their country’s government. They want a voice in the matters which concern them so they can be a constructive, progressive part of today's society. This nationwide spirit was felt at Blake as students played an ever increasing role in presenting programs and carrying them to completion. Much more of Blake's future will depend on the increased involvement of the student and the wealth of new ideas which arc his. 3 Student Involvement Jeff Grecnspoon circulates petition for non-compulsory athletics. The Student Council provided an opening for many student ideas this year. Many students used Torch editorials to propose change. A Bob Danielson sells a copy of his underground newspaper The Bad Times Although some of the changes at Blake this year came about without much student pressure, the flow of new ideas never stopped. Many students published editorials in the Torch. Others used underground newspapers and petitions to express conflicting ideas and constructive criticism. In the '68-'69 school year the Student Council expanded on its ’67-'68 proposals. Students who were dissatisfied with the management of last year’s Homecoming activities took the initiative to build floats and plan a pre-pep fest social gathering. Ironically, perhaps, the change in the athletic program became a major issue of student dissent and caused expressions of disapproval in petitions, editorials, and at Student Council meetings. At the student-faculty discussion many topics were brought up for consideration. The channels of communication at Blake were never closed, and students used them to show that they want a voice in school policy.

Physical Changes Physical changes were the most obvious at Blake this year. Workmen completed construction on the Adrian Howard Memorial Courtyard, the Blake driveway, and a new ninth grade football field. At the same time the school installed a Universal Gym. a video-tape machine, and an equipment shed. Mr. Martin is now directing a new computer course.

Mr. Wonson announces Blake football over the new speaker system Junior concessions improves service with a new coke machine. 7 Paul Stark tapes a speech class with the new video-tape machine. T Administrative Educational expansion necessitated many changes in school administration. As a first step. Mr. Seel and Mr. Robert Lundholm were added to the faculty. Next, in a newly formed office, Mr. Mezzenga became Blake’s first Dean of Students. Mr. Fecht has now replaced Mr. Parks as Athletic Director. Mr. Harold Lundholm has taken on redefined responsibilities as Dean of Faculty and Director of Studies. Early in the year, the Student Council set up committees to promote organizations and athletic events. The Council also helped bring about the revision of the school calendar. Finally the Senate was organized to serve as a liason between faculty and student leaders. Mr. Seel gives help to one of his algebra students. Mr. Lundholm discusses the new school calendar with Mr. Henderson. Bob Lundholm and Mike Fox discuss game plans against Shattuck. Changes Mr. Mc zcnga moves in to the former publications room as Dean of Students. Newly formed Committee to Promote Organizations meets in the Crosby Conference Room. The Senate, a newly-formed group which irons out disagreements between faculty and students, holds its first meeting. Mr. Fccht states new athletic policies to the students during chapel. 9 10 Fven before the school year began, a change in school spirit was developing. During the summer, student and alumni volunteers helped rebuild the ninth grade football field. The turnout for summer practice and the effort put forth by the teams in their workouts brought optimistic predictions for the regular season. Football games were rallying points for school spirit this fall. Spirit appeared in other things besides improved attendance at athletic events. It produced a great Homecoming, with the first real Homecoming floats in years. It was the motivation behind the best magazine campaign yet, and it helped create an efficient and profitable Junior Concessions. Through a new feeling of pride in the school and involvement in its activities, Blake students made 1968-1969 a year of exciting and memorable change. a n 21 uanijjf The Future The final test of all this change lies in the future. The involvement and responsibility which Blake students have shown seem to indicate an attempt to detach themselves from the selfish and instantaneous Present. It becomes a matter for the future to decide whether or not the great quest for change is valid. Jfi r r j 7 t........ ... M-, • • VI W f P$!

From the very beginning the whole school knew they had a team they could depend on. Students poured a wave of spirit into planning for a prc-Homc-coming social gathering, building floats, getting the Canoisc for the dance, decorating the goal posts and anything else that seemed appropriate, organizing the pep fest and most important coming out and cheering the team to victory.

Not only did the Juniors sell food and drinks after home football games, but they also built a permanent stand, which became known as the Blakely Pub.” outside the locker room and were open for business daily after athletic practices. The Pub was such a success that by Christmas, sales totaled $1,491, of which 30% was profit for the Junior class. However, “Stark Enterprises was not made complacent by the success of the Pub. It soon expanded into a catering service which served at the B.D.A.’s production, ... Noodles and Marbles. the Homecoming Pep Fest, the Winter Dance, the Spring Dance, and the after-Prom party. The staff of Junior Concessions consisted of Paul Stark, president; Caleb Blodgett, vice-president; Tom Driscoll, head of personnel; Gregg Fawkes; Tony Rcckcr; Pete Evarts; Pete Riley; Mark Luther; Bob Scarles; Chip Leslie; and Doug Anderson. 41 Chapel: The Heart Of Blake Life A Blake alumnus once said that Chapel was the part of the school day he appreciated the most. From the first hymn to Are there any further announcements?”, the Chapel service provides a time and place for peace, meditation, and thought. Usually a senior, or a student council or faculty member gives the opening talk and is followed by a junior Chapel speaker. Special forums, speech contests, announcements. and stories by Chief Wonson add variety. (LEFT) Jim Borman, the head of WCCO Radio Newt Department, was the second speaker in a scries of three forums entitled Communications and the Thinking Man.

Blake School participates fully in programs of studies abroad. Every year it sponsors a foreign student under the A.F.S. Winter Program and initiates fund raising projects to pay for the student’s expenses. This year’s projects included the Blakc-Edina hockey game and the Milwaukee Weekend dance. Blake students also are given the opportunity of participating in such foreign studies programs as A.F.S. and the Experiment in International Living. As Yukinori Miyamoto, this year’s foreign exchange student, described the value of foreign studies programs; “The most significant contribution of this program is the opportunity of understanding one another. It is an unforgettable experience for both A.F.S. students and those with whom they live and work to overcome differences of race, religion, and custom.” 48 Students Benefit From Opportunities In Studies Abroad And Merit Programs MERIT FINALISTS: BACK ROW: Webster.

In 1955 the Ford Foundation established the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (N.M.S.C.) with the purpose of identifying and honoring academic talent. The growth of N.M.S.C. has been so tremendous that in 1968 800,000 students from 18,000 schools throughout the country participated in the program. In past years Blake students have consistently placed well on the Merit tests. This year was no exception as ten seniors were finalists in the program. 49 Mr. Harold Lundholm verves as the Director of the Merit Program at Blake. It s really great to come back here to Blake School where you boys and girls arc always so enthusiastic And kids. I can’t emphasize enough that ya gotta According to the gospel of Funk and Wagnal money is a medium of exchange; however, to the many Blake organizations (including the school) who arc short of it, money is the life, the freedom, the substance of existence.

Mr. Kcmcrcr discusses possible college choice with his advisee. Dick Da ton. Mike Webster undergoes the College Boards: The sin-glc most important factor in college admissions. Getting into college has always been one of the primary objectives of a Blake student. During his Junior and Senior years, he spends much of his time attending college admissions meetings, taking college board tests, and filling out application forms. Juniors especially spend much of their time calculating (Let’s see I got a 50 on the PSAT. so I should get a 550 on the SAT Maybe the U isn’t so bad after all ) and being counciled by their college advisors (“High aptitude and low achievement — that’s not so good.”). Seniors, on the other hand, approach college admissions with a more mature outlook. They've played the game for years, and they’re almost through. And then comes April 15 Two senior glean college information from the college bulletin board. 52 College Admissions: Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe . . . The Headmaster distributes information at a senior college meeting. 33 Mr. H. Lundholm proctors one of the many college admissions tests for Juniors. Personal Appearance: Source Of Discussion, Disagreement, Disruption An emergency meeting of the Blake Senate was held to discuss student demands for changes in the hair and dress codes. Mr. Henderson Headmaster: “The essence of the problem was respect for authority and compliance with existing regulations, rather than whether or not a rule was valid and tenable. If one feels that policies arc incorrect or obsolete, he should follow appropriate and readily available channels to seek to remedy the supposed fault. One cannot, however, merely flaunt or ignore such a regulation with impunity.” Bob Danielson Student Council member: “Discussion in the Student Council was a meaningless debate between Mr. Mc zcnga and me. The Council has no power and therefore you can hardly claim we should have gone through normal channels when those channels are powerless. No one has the moral right to tell anyone how to dress. The recent Supreme Court decision regarding student rights in high schools proved that everything we’ve said is right. Although Blake is a private institution and has the legal right to do what it did, the court’s decision shows that in principle we were right.” Jim Chandler Head Boy: “If a student is truly interested in Blake it is his duty to seek change when he feels the present system does not meet students’ demands. However. it is extremely important that a student use the proper methods to initiate this change. The Student Council is the major link between students and the faculty and administration. It works slowly, yet if a change is achieved it will be done through the Council long before it’s done elsewhere.” 18 December: Poll reveals that 72% of the students favor change in dress code. 7 January Eight students arc told to lease school to get hair cut . 8 January: Bart Quale, returns without haircut ana is given 24 hours to cut it or face expulsion. After lunch 30 students cut classes to discuss the situation with Mr. Lun-dholm. Bob Danielson leaves school with Quale. Mr. Henderson calls an assembly at 3:30 to explain his position 9 January: A statement by Bob Danielson of the student position prompts a Senate Meeting. After lunch Danielson, with Quale, holds a meeting in Chapel. At 4:00 members of Minnesota Student Union hold a demonstration at Blake in support of Quale. 10 January: Open Student Council meeting is held in A.V. room with Mr. Mer enga. Dean of Students. 4 February: in Faculty Poll, change from coal and ties is rejected 17 to 12. 3 March: Faculty holds meeting on changing dress code. 4 March: Mr. Mc vcnga announces that the faculty has consented to change the drevs code to coats and ties in chapel only. 2 April: New dress code goes into effect Bob Danielson and Bart Quale explain their positions on the issues to a meeting of the student body. Wendell Willkie Mr. Me zenga 5ludent Council member: Dean of Students: Robert Gordon Editor of Torch: “The issue was whether the school had the right to govern an area of a person's life totally unrelated to his performance at the school or to his safety. The basis for the code is to present a good image of one’s self. The Dean of Students has acknowledged that this is a shallow means of evaluation. Thus we arc not being taught to change society, but rather, how to fit into it. “Blake School operates with a minimum of regulatory and restrictive rules. Blake School attempts to educate its students in such personal matters as appearance, pride, and responsibility, as well as in academic matters. Regulations and restrictions in any of these areas are kept to a minimum. Those which arc operative. however, arc included for a purpose and will be enforced until changed through a logical, appropriate and considered process.” “I feel that the dress code is questionable. Coats and tics arc completely unnecessary. Yet those who tried to change the codes made too big an issue of it. And the argument that a dress code destroys one's right of self-expression is absurd.” 5b Spare Time -Those Brief Students find several ways of spending the short time between lunch and 5th period. (TOP) During the winter term several 8th and 9th graders let off steam by sliding down the hill. Others students (ABOVE) participate in the long-time favorite pastime, the “bull session.” Most of a Blake student’s time is occupied with studying, attending classes, taking tests, and running from place to place. But occasionally he finds himself with a few moments with which he can do whatever he wants. When the wrestling season was over, wrestlers spent their free time playing broom ball. 56 And Precious Moments 57 IABOVE) Occasionally a student has the opportunity of talking things over with a teacher during his free time.

Year Of The Bear Spirit was the key to the best Blake football season in years. Using a passing attack and a speedy defense, the team finished second in the MISL by losing only to Shattuck. The 1968 football season hinged on this game. In a seesaw battle the Bears out-played the Shads, but were defeated by too many fumbles and bad breaks. As a tribute to Blake's true ability, the MISL coaches elected Blake players to nine All-Conference positions compared to Shattuck's six.

Fields, G. Fawkes (co-captain). Anderson (co-cjpuin). Quale. Jensen Lacking power on both offense and defense, the J.V. had hoped to base its style on aggressiveness and speed. Unfortunately, these characteristics were shown only once this season, against Shattuck, as the team played one of the finest games ever seen at Blake. On all other occasions inconsistency hindered performance. Through the recommendations of coaches Strieker. Wonson. and Clcvcn many players were given the chance to play in Varsity games, and thus gained experience for next year. 69 Varsity Soccer Kicksters Miss Season’s Goal There was talent in this year's team, but it was never used to its full potential. Without a good scoring punch, the offense often had to depend on the defense. When the defense failed, goalie Tom Kreiser kept the team in the game. For his many great saves. Kreiser was voted Most Valuable Player. Other award winners were Sandy Bates at fullback and Eric Hanson at center forward, both of whom were named to All-Conference. Varsity Soccer kept up its pride and spirit, but it couldn't win games. The team lost coach Chuck Ritchie his first chance for a state title, and ended Blake’s three year scries of soccer championships. BACK ROW C. Ritchie (coach). Sear lev Hoemg. Robbins. NufTort.

Soccer “Ya Gotta Want It” Strength is not always in numbers. From sixty-six players the J.V. could put together a winning combination only five times this year. Mr. Scel’s coaching cannot be blamed. The attitude of all those who had no intention of playing was a serious detriment to the efforts of the rest of the team. As the season ended the effects of this situation became evident when the J.V. was shut out in three of its last four games. Blake player dig� after ball against Brevk IS FROST Bush (captain).

With little ice time, lagging spirit, and constant manpower losses to the Varsity, the JV team survived pretty well what could have been a disastrous season. Captain Knoblauch on defense and high scorer McCann at center provided the team with both defensive and offensive strength. In the nets experienced goalies Hall and Clarke were usually effective in keeping the team in the game. Rookie coaches Seel and eleven were also pleased with the development of a number of next year’s varsity players. 10 Alexander 3 0 Hopkins 2 1 Roosevelt 2 1 Richfield II 4 Southwest 3 10 Minnehaha 0 4 Shattuck 0 6 Minnetonka 2 5 SPA 6 3 Roosevelt 4 II Shattuck 2 0 Richfield 7 1 SPA 1 10 Minnehaha 0 5 Southwest 6 0 Richfield 4 Won 7 Lost 8 Tied I 79 Varsity Basketball “It’s The Same Old Song ...

But With A Different Beat To Responding to a new coach, the basketball team showed the beginnings of something good, but they couldn't keep it going. Consistent only in their inconsistency, they blew big leads or made near-great rallies throughout the long season. But this year's team was still a far cry from recent years in that many times its losses were by a five point, or smaller, margin.

Some of the boys have the responsibility of waiting on lunch tables for the Junior School. The newest effort was a scries of coordinated seminars with Blake. High-croft. and Northrup seventh graders. The first meeting was January 27. Thus this year’s seventh grade has been well prepared to meet the challenge and responsibility of the Senior School. ABOVE Seventh Grader reap benefits of after lunch study hall: RIGHT: Mr. Bettcls examines a history term project. Sixth Grade The sixth graders had a busy and interesting year which culminated for most boys in the June trip to Washington l).C. and Williamsburg. The boys have four main classes under teachers Mr. Close, Mr. Stepnick, Mr. Jepson, and Mr. Parks. Under Mr. Parks the class w orked on term projects concerning mixlern science problems and made studies on birds. All of the boys took part in a developmental reading program with very good results. In Mr. Johnson's shop inlaid checkerboards were very popular. Mr. Parks, in his new position as Junior School Athletic Director, planned contests in football, hockey, boxing, and track. Fifth Grade The transition from the fourth grade is very evident in the school day of the class of '76. This year the boys have men for home room teachers. Also for the first time they began changing classrooms for different subjects. t i ROW: Mr. Hagc. Idc. Proshck. Lund, llarlficl. Laughtm, Freeman. Letter, Gustafson. Wiener 2nd ROW Mr. Bethel.

The father-son dinner in February provided an interesting get-together for all who attended. Everyone participated in one of the many sports each term, and most competed in the boxing tournament and the Spring Olympiad. Third Grade The third graders, experiencing their first year at a new school, learned that Blake Junior School life is both interesting and demanding. Primarily through the efforts of Mrs. Ogrcn, they have learned many basic skills and found many interests. Their long homeroom day is interrupted by periods of art with Mrs. Peterson, shop with Mr. Johnson, and athletics. In athletics the third graders compete in numerous sports, with the spring term Olympiad and the winter term Boxing Tournament as highlights of the year. Finally, they enjoy field trips to local science and history museums, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. FROST ROW Pcvcrill. Whitney, Hauser. Dayton, Atkinson.

At the same time, under the direction of Mead-boy Jim Chandler, the Council initiated new programs to raise school spirit. Joining forces with a winning football team, the Council made Homecoming the biggest event of the fall term. An enlarged pep fest program, and a number of “sports nights such as the one with Minnehaha in early January drew much larger crowds of Blake students than in previous years. But if it was a year of student spirit, it was also a year of student dissent: compulsory athletics, hair styles, and the dress code were subjects of heated discussion and disagreement at several open Council meetings. It was an exciting and busy year, perhaps best symbolized by the buttons sold by council members, which read, simply, “Blake Power.” Sophomore John Brook add to council diKtmion Council forum for debate meet in Crovb) Conference Room Serious subjects draw concentrated attention The Student Council sold Blake Power buttons to help defer its added costs.

Last year’s Talisman was a fine production, although the club received little material from the student body at large. This year's club meets periodically on Sundays at the home of a different member each time. A literary club meeting is a long, rambling thing, a combination of radiantly witty conversation, occasional readings of members’ writings, and a lot of corn chips. From these ingredients, hopefully, comes the material for this year’s Talisman. Verily I say unto thee 1 6 Corn Chips I tell you it’s impolite to point! Well, guy . when I wa% in School Wendell Willkie attack Union’s dosed ad- Union members seem lo have answers al iheir fingertips, missions policy. Union: A House Divided . . Since change and controversy pervaded the school this year, it was inevitable that the Blake Union be affected. Under 1968 officers, president Bob Gordon, vice-president Phil Ahern, secretary Tom Borman, treasurer Jim Chandler, and advisor Chuck Ritchie, the Union's meeting format was altered lo enable one or two members to speak extemporaneously and to give members the opportunity to hear a guest speaker, not necessarily on the faculty. However, the greatest and most surprising change came in the area of procedures for electing new members. Previously. anybody in the upper two forms was eligible, and he needed a two-thirds vole from the Union Members. The new amendment states that the Union may elect as many boys as it sees fit, and each boy need only have a simple majority. The highlight of the year occurred when four members who decided that the liberalized election laws were not liberal enough walked out of a meeting. They later resigned to emphasize their view that the organization should be open lo any boy in the upper forms. Mr. Kemcrer gave his wm on student unrest TOP ROW■ Fittkts I. .

Science Club Diversifies The Science Club this year attempted to organize its activities so that the varied interests of the members could be studied in the best manner possible. There were seven sections — biology, oceanography, photography, electronics, aviation, chemistry, and medicine. Each group had definite projects planned. The biology section studied microbiology with infected culture. Oceanography hoped to build an underwater house, and aviation a wind tunnel. Medicine students planned field trips to hospitals in the area. These projects were open to all members of the club, which made possible a w ide range of activities in many scientific fields.

Glee Club Rocks With Graduating Glee Club members vacated sixteen spots last year, but tryouts for this year’s club were still very competc-tivc. The club was ready to move early in the year and sang several times in Chapel. However, an important concert at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts was cancelled by heavy snowfall. Glee clubbers were rewarded by the tremendous experience of singing at Faribault State Hospital and helping carry the lead at the Christmas carol sing in the Blake library. The club had some problem keeping its moral high towards tour time, and President Bob Gordon suggested singing Rocky Raccoon to liven up the repertoire.

The group numbered about 25 Juniors and Seniors, with officers Steve Groth. President; Mike Fox. Vice President; Eric Hanson. Secretary-Treasurer; and Brad Iverson, Chaplain. The S7.50 annual dues enabled the members to participate in numerous activities: selling Christmas trees, discussion meetings with guest speakers such as an Edina detective and an Air Force officer, sports nights playing water polo, and “joints with girls from local Tri-Y s.

Two movies were shown during the fall term: the full-length Lord of the Flies, and Shakespeare Wallah, a film about a traditional acting troupe in changing India. A speech on draft resistance by draft-resisting David Pence, first-hand reports of police violence in Chicago from Kevin George, and a debate in chapel between student supporters of Nixon and Humphrey all shed some much-needed light on current affairs.
