callopan 1972 blake school hopkins, minnesota kĀ -Ā examining our existence in black and white. 6 table of contents school life 8 academics 34 sports 62 activities 88 people 114 patrons 170 7 school life (1) The art of effective listening is a necessary classroom skill. (2) However, sometimes listening can be difficult when a teacher seems to be talking to no one in particular. (3) More often, the best communication takes place in after-class discussions, as a teacher tries to clarify a point for interested students. (4) Classroom experiences needn't always be dull when a sharing of discoveries and ideas takes place. (5) The special-help period every morning is an integral part of Blake's academic life providing another opportunity for meaningful student-teacher dialogue. 10 11 12 (1) Scoring well on tests is only half the battle in the struggle for good grades. (2) Many students feel compelled to write what they know the teacher wants to read. (3) Others find that independent study projects are an excellent way to beat the grading game. (4) Generally, the completion of homework is a matter of personal priorities. (5) But come exam time 13 15 (1) By a studentās junior year, the use of his spare time is entirely up to him. (2) Cardplaying is a favorite pastime of many. (3) while others seem to find more creative uses for their free time. (4) The more cerebral students tend to favor reading. (5) However, all other activities considered, sleeping continues to be the no. 1 pastime. IkiV; (1) Some choose to sing, many choose not to. as a hymn starts the day every Monday. Wednesday, and Friday. Everyone, however, is required to stand up and be counted. (2) Following an uninspired rendition of a hymn, a voluntary senior chapel speaker is a welcome change from the usual three faculty speeches every week. (3) On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the days tend to start out on a lighter note, with the junior chapel speakers attempting to amuse their audience. (4) Five days a week, announcements, serious and humorous, are an inevitable part of Blake's chapel life. 19 The bell and the rustle of hungry feet (1) Grace is said with haste and we take our chairs to sit down for lunch (2) The food is served and we gulp it down, hurried by those men in white. (3) We might have time for an occasional word with a friend before the waiters steal the dishes away. (4) Shortly thereafter comes dessert: a pear or peach perhaps, or maybe a Hostess Ho-Ho. Then the inevitable announcements. (5) When it's finally over, we might take a moment to consider why the waiters are in such a hurry to eat and why we are so quick to leave. 20 22 Communication as the transmission of thought; (1) in team sports where cooperation is essential, good communication is a prerequisite. (2) In the context of education the give-and-take of ideas is equally important. (3) Many times, getting together for a few moments requires a bit of initiative. (4) This is especially true if a student wishes to pursue an interest with an outside speaker after class. (5) Most often, a student and a teacher make an effort to communicate when they get together in the halls. 23 It's difficult to generalize about the social life of Blake people. (1) Music, however, seems to be a common element. (2) Parties also play an important role; (3) they. too. have certain things in common. 24 v ' a collection of blake people. (1) The day begins with a series of hour-long classes for junior-schoolers. (2) With lunch a long way off. the mid-morning milk break gives students a rare opportunity to mess around. (3) Lunch-time finally arrives and students are eager to get down to business. (4) But by far. the favorite time of day is gym period when pent-up energy is released. (5) Later, shop class gives students a chance to use busy hands constructively. (6) After along day of junior school life, its a race for the buses and time to go home 31 32 (1) Some view coeducation with anticipation, while others are a bit skeptical. (2) The imminent coordination between Blake and Northrop was facilitated by joint educational programs and exchanges. (3) Spending a day at Northrop was a unique experience for many. (4 5) Often students took the initiative in bringing the two schools closer together. 33 academics Students are confronted by it every year. The english dept. is practically the curricular foundation of the school. Repetition. Blake Students learn the same grammar, usage, and spelling every year. But classes aren't always boring. Or are they? Gentlemen, with Practical English in hand you can do anything. Can't you? James A. Watson English 36 S. Keller Pollock English John T. Hatch Owen Heiberg English English Robert G. lundholm English Lectures by guest speakers, creative writing, video-taping, exchanges with other schools, and community involvement are all part of the English NOW experience. Nevertheless, class discussions, in-class themes, exercises in grammar. and vocabulary tests continue to be the usual fare for english normal. Walter R. McCarthy English 38 William E. Fisher World Today. English NOW (1) Actress Evalyn Baron from the Guthrie Theatre conducts an English NOW class. (2) First-year French students soon become familiar with the audio-lingual approach to learning a foreign language. Preparing a student for living in a foreign country is what learning a foreign language is all about, right? With students taking trips to Russia. Mexico, and Germany, it woui . seem so. Charle Ritchie Russian, Contemporary Civilizations. Linguistics āNo. you may not take my picture. It would be an invasion of my privacy. Ronald E. Replogle Latin. Linguistics (1) The Russian students draw their learning experience from a wide range ot media. Heinz J. Otto German Ford W Bell Spanish V. James Meota French Tenses, declensions, and conjugations . grinding grammar painful translations.. faulty pronunciation temporary loss of memory . Do your homework and get good grades. But learning a foreign language should mean more than this. It can mean a new way of thinking and speaking; an excercise in translating and interpreting; a chance to understand and experience a foreign culture. Russell E. Hilliard Spanish (1) Gordy Nordlmg ponders the relevance of a French translation (2) Sometimes one learns more from comic books than textbooks. 41 Oliver C.Campeau French Fndolf N. Lundholm Algebra. Geometry. Senior Math Franks. Horton Algebra. Geometry. Senior Math (1) At times. Jim Warden and others find math extremely exasperating. (2) Eighth-grade students get a head start on their math homework for the night. Using theorems and proofs, equations and variables, students discover that math is always prevalent, if not relevant. It means homework every night with an explanation of it the next day. The math student is continually performing in an endless routine. Charles E. Anderson searching for the Right Answer. Calculus. Geometry. Senior Math 42 (1) History teacher Rod Anderson raises a point for his students to consider. ' Many subjects are standardized and unchanging. However. history is happening every day. In most history courses the memorization of facts is being replaced by the understanding of concepts. History is analyzing and discussing the events of today and yesterday. History is now. John Crosby U.S. History. Contemporary Civilizations William Marton U.S. History. Georgraphy (2) Presumably. Bill MacMillan is learning something about the state of the world, past and present (3) It might be said that the study of history can open the door to reality. Rodney E. Anderson U.S. History. World Today Donald Butler U.S. History. Classic History Frederick J. Wigginton Comparative Religions. Bible Studies (1) John Curtin demonstrates the wrong way to look through a microscope; both eyes should be open.

(2) Idle feet await action. They put it all together, squelched their conference foes, and ran away with all the marbles. Revenge was the word, implanted in every varsity football player s mind as the season started. The first four non-conference games were grueling, but once by them, the goal was readily visible: to win the title and eat the S.P.A. cake. All celebration was held off until victory was secure. When the rain clouds had cleared, a championship had been won. and a cake had been eaten. 64 Blake Opponents 8 Burnsville 14 15 Milwaukee 0 14 Eden Prairie 13 7 Wells 12 32 Breck 8 40 Shattuck 8 20 Minnehaha 0 48 Concordia 13 14 SPA. 0 Won 7 Lost 2 1st place M.I.S.L (3) Dave Lazarus - student of the game.

Region The excitement of this year's varsity basketball season was due to much more than their innovative pre-game warm-up show. For the first time in several years, they put together an impressive winning season. Though they failed to reach their goals, they have established a winning pace for the future. 79 They gathered on the j.v. court: those without another sport those who had used up a phy-ed option, and those who wanted to play. Their numoer was never consistent, but those who were present worked, and time was devoted to learning. For j.v. basketball the scores don't tell the whole story. Front Row. Holten S.Zalk, D.Johnson.

Two tracks for two skis, and numerous skiers. You are alone with your own sounds. A single word breaks the silence; ā¢ā Track!ā You move ahead, or fall behind. Youāre alone again, with unbearable heat and no idea as to how you stand. The cross-country skier struggles onward with thoughts of the finish line, as the snow-covered trees quietly fall behind.

Achieving an understanding and reaching a consensus is a slow process; even so. the senate effected changes in the schedule, in the dress code, and in the uses to which students may put their unscheduled time. It also facilitated three-school cooperation, student exchanges, and student participation on school committees.

But everything considered, the year was definitely a good oneāmaybe even a great one. The one thing which unified such a diverse group was the idea of having fun. which everyone shared. By putting this idea in a more realistic perspective, the senior class of 1972 fulfilled the theory that school should be funā or at least the senior year should be. Roger.

They lost only to a team of players their own age. (2) One final tour around the campus turned up these other sports teams.

A few words, a smile, a handshake, and a diploma then the line moved on. Sixty nine Seniors, the alma mater, and the program came to a close. For the class of 72. only the reception remained. A glass of punch, a hearty handshake, perhaps a tear, certainly a sigh. a congratulation, and a thank you. All of these and so much more.
