Indiana, opened his white wooden frame house at 200 Ridgewood Avc. to admit a dozen boys for the purpose of private boys' education. The man was William McKendree Blake, and his sell-styled academy became The Blake School By 1911, the budding institution hud gained the attention of several prominent businessmen in the Washburn-Crosby grain company Dissatisfied with the education being offered in the public school system, they incorporated the school and hired Charles Bertram Newton from w X H 6 l.uwrcnceville to replace the elderly Blake. In 1913 there was onl one graduate, Fred Boutell. who w as over seven feet tall Not onl was he Blake’s first graduate. he was Blake's tallest as well New ton took charge of the school in a larger red brick house on Hennepin Ave. now the site of the Hennepin Ave Methodist Church.

COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL 8 through English, math, Latin, histon and public speaking. Newton sought to establish a school that would In on a par w ith Eastern college prep schools. The only difference being that Blake would be a country du school rather than a boarding school This was a new educational concept based on the ideu that the influence of the home w as as important as that of the school Traditions that permeated Blake up until the present day were conceived during Newton s tenure ( Impel and (.'Impel speaking, strong debate teams as well as a strong athletic program, the Blake Union, the ( all O’ Ban and the Torch, Blake’s long emphasis on Latin received its foundation then too — w it It the hiring of Noah Loss ho served more than 40 sears as Latin master Newton resigned in |9!9diic to his belief that the school w as on a shakes financial footing and could not long snr ive.

The departure ol Jim Henderson, Harold Hodgkinson. Harold l.un-dholm, and Bill Glenn at the end of the 1971 school year after a total ol 134 years of distinguished service symbolized the changes that were occurring outside tile Bloke community. On August I I. 1971. Blake decided to change w ith her surroundings as plans were drawn up for Blake to become a coeducational institution That community isuow a reality What the future will bring for this new educational concept is hidden from us at the present, but One can only hope that the new school, like Blake, w ill be’ urbiet orbi lumen — “a light onto the city of the world. 15 Blake From The Sky Do You Know These People?

Where? When? Who? Why? How much? While all these and more questions were raised and argued about poverty, a world of answers remain untouched outside Blake's doors. J.V. NOVICE DEBATE Similiar onlv to the Varsity in their concentrated effort on the issue of Poverty, those still green and learning the basics were callc d J.V. and Novice Debate.

Starting with structure. technique, scheme, and most important, an idea, the true artist takes the atmosphere explored to the limits of his ability, and realizes only then and there that art is his own atmosphere, not only obtained but also captured in time and in space. 78 A One man's art. another mans . .

How was this name derived? In 1912, Headmaster Charles Newton set up many of Blake's present traditions when the Senior School moved from its Minneapolis location out to Hopkins. The Latin name Call O’ Pan is basically a three word phrase. Fan was the Greek god of the wilderness; this symbolized the surrounding countryside about Blake's new location Therefore the name Call O' Fan means 2 02 (’all of the Wild Kditor-iu-dhicl Thomas McCurlhx checks illi this cur Bible. the I9:W Call O’ Fan.

Hanson might as easily have been called “Judge as Doctor. He was surely a judge of injuries; he was clearly a judge of people; and who else was more intimately connected with the bench ? His mouth would crinkle at such an analogy; his eyes would twinkle, reflecting not only his w ry appreciation of humor, hut also his own innate humility. Traditions evolve in a variety of wavs; Dr Bill was one of them. The name encompasses the love, the durability, the personal attachment, the selfless quality w hich marked his association w ith . Blake School and its people Every person, regardless of relative position, was equally important to him His warmth, his concern, his patience, and his solid common sense infected those who were fortunate enough to come under his influence. He w as happiest when he w as helping people Subtly , quietly, unobtrusively he earned a lasting spot in the hearts of all. Yet. one’s memory of him w ill alw ays be personal rather than professional, for he was a “ friend not just a doctor The needs and interests of others w ere his; the problems of others he took as his ow n; his advice was invariably gentle but firm, honest but compassionate. In his sincere, humble nature, he himself never appreciated how important he w as to so many, nor how inestimable was the good which he dispensed through his own personal descriptions of the Golden Rule.

A Chinese runner once said that runners compete against each other and themselves as if they were rocks, but they would be happier and would last longer if they ran like water. Be like water which is not firm, hard, and unyielding, but rather seeks the lowest place — and yet can wear down the hardest stone Throw a stone into the water and it makes a big initial spash. But after quietly making way for it. the water quickly surrounds and swallows the stone ... . One key prerequisite for success in running is staying flexible — flowing like the water instead of standing firm like the rock. Hun fast, run slow, run shallow, run deep, run hot, run cold. But keep running. By being persistent and flexible, few obstacles are insurmountable 150 A .. Loft to Right. Front Row Nils.cn. Phelps, Baxter. Nalen. Pflanze, Proshek. Back Row Kolker. Tjepkoma.

By the overall record, some wondered what happened to the talent. It was there. So was the evidence of hard practice They were out to win and to have a good, competitive time.
