Taking the initiative in the field of co-education, Blake and Northrop student leaders organized a program of class exchanges. Throughout the winter term each Blake class either traveled to Northrop or acted as host at Blake. Topics for group discussion included a wide range of subjects, such as inter-personal relations, drug use, and consumer fraud. The results of such a program, conducted on a student level, proved two points which had long been argued by the students. First, the potential and advantage of co-education was illuminated; and second, the success of student-planned programs was demonstrated. TOP: A professor from the University of Minnesota lectured to Blake and Northrop seniors on the topic of inter-personal relations, after which the students broke up into smaller discussion groups in order to relate inier-personally. MIDDLE AND BOTTOM: Blake's geography affords sophomores an opportunity to break the ice, so to speak. 2 3
