He has taught us the significance of our past, the subtleties of debate, the enduring validity of ethical standards, the independence of human beings in a shrinking world and the fun and poetry of baseball. He has also taught us how to live. By his example, we have come to know about the fully engaged person, a responsible and caring neighbor, a sensitive and helpful friend, a thorough teacher demanding our best and giving in return •'tough love. Mr. Edie has not just touched our hearts; through his sincerity in all that he has done for Blake, he has become a part of the hearts of the thousands of students, faculty and families that have had the pleasure and honor of his friendship and guidance. Mr. Edie has received many awards and honors signifying and acknowledging his love and concern for Blake. In addition, we present the dedication of the 1978 Reflections yearbook to Jack Edie. Thanks, Mr. Edie, you are a special friend never to be forgotten! 2 PEOPLE PEOPLE 3 IMAGES OF 4 PEOPLE TIME PAST PEOPLE 5 ABC'S OF 6 PEOPLE SCHOOL LIFE PEOPLE 7 PRESENTING THE 8 PEOPLE (M Ae .'Ijuak.

SENIORS INTERACT IN AN ENLIGHTENING WEEKEND AT CAMP WARREN The class of 1978 left the Northrop Campus on Saturday, September 17, for an early morning bus ride to Camp Warren at Eveleth, Minnesota. The quiet bus ride up was interrupted by a brief munch at Tobie’s for dyno donuts. They arrived at camp in time to participate in a vigorous work hour consisting of wood chopping, window cleaning, land excavating and other fun chores. The shower schedule was lenient to the male faction of the camp, so the girls made up for it by taking cold baths, skinny dip style, in the lake. The sauna was a popular attraction for the weekend voyagers. The chip game and the discussion of goals were enlightening aspects of the weekend. The free time in between planned activities was left for games and individual pursuits. The Warner Bros, cartoons were as intellectually stimulating as the Jerry Lewis movie was a flop! For the grand finale the class boogied at the square dance. The snuggie epidemic swept the bus ride home, leaving modest remains. All ’n all a unique experience! (1) Chuck takes a snooze on the bus ride home. (2) With a “touch of class” one of the nine groups presents a skit. (3) Seniors relax and enjoy the sing along around the fire. (4) Jim Lockhart chops wood during work hour. (5) Carolyn stands up for the Women’s Lib Movement. (6) Witty comments are made during a typical teacher’s meeting. (7) Davey finishes the circling bat race. (8) The men haul away the wood. (9) Windex will do it every time. (10) The secret service is on duty. 18 LIFE LIFE 19 BEAR DOWN ON THE GOLD AND BROWN — HOMECOMING 77 The 1977 Homecoming week (October 10-14) started with a series of theme days. Included was the traditional Clash Day and School Colors Day as well as Fifties Day and Opposite Sex Day. “Bear Down on the Gold and Brown” was the Homecoming slogan. The football team followed through, beating Golden Valley 25-21 in a close contest. The Homecoming Royalty, announced at the bonfire, was featured in the half time parade, including floats made by the sophomore class and other school organizations. The Homecoming Dance, typical of all events, was well attended. Everyone involved was pleased with the results, for the week proved school spirit had returned in full force. (1) The success of Homecoming was attributed to the spirited cheerleaders. (2) Hey boys, check out the sexy legs!! (3) The bonfire ignites the beginning of Homecoming. (4) Escorting senior attendant. Nan Niehaus and Queen Lucy Thatcher, the Blake Bear takes the place of male attendant Matt Mattox and King John Styrbicki. (5) The crowd explodes their boisterous voices from the bleachers. (6) Junior attendants, Laura Sahr and Rob Hudnut, take a cruise around the football field. (7) The Vikings are showed that the Bears are bold. (8) Sophomore attendants, Jim Spencer and Laura Martin, join the over-stuffed BEAR-ican. (9) Freshman attendants, Jenny Hagen and Kent Adams, bring up the rear. (10) The crowd supports the cheerleaders in the Two Bits YELL! 20 LIFE LIFE 21 TALENT REVUE EXHIBITS INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT The second annual Blake Schools' Talent Revue brought out new enthusiasm and artistic ability in the choral groups. The Mixed Choir, Men’s Glee Club and Women’s Chorus performed in addition to All That Jazz, Blakers Dozen and individual instrumentalists and soloists. M.C.’s for the evening , were Marcus Peacock and Dick Phillips. The show was a successful effort to raise money for the choral activities, including the spring tours. (1) Ginny and Jim smile with satisfaction after the Talent Revue. (2) Kate Morgan and Sarah Kohler sing “April Come She Will.” (3) The pantomime Dolls in a Toy Shop is acted out by two talented performers, Libby Olson and Sara Schilling. (4) The Women's Chorus sings Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. (5) Dick and Andrew harmonize to Four and Twenty” by Stephen Stills. 22 LIFE (3) The Senior-Nine program was designed to help the freshmen make friends with upperclassmen and thus feel more at home in the Upper School. A picnic at the Leavenworths' began the year’s program with food, frisbee, football, and volleyball. As the year progressed, the seniors and their nines attended football games, parties, hayrides, and Dudley Riggs. These activities have shown students that they can have fun together, in spite of their age difference. (1) Oh, O.K., Wood, what have you been up to?? (2) It's the battle of the sexes — or should we say classes. (3) Hey there! Hay where? Hay everywhere!!! (4) All right, let’s hit the senior munch and have the freshmen for lunch! SENIORS MAKE FRIENDS IN NINES NOT PAIRS LIFE 23 THE BRIGHT SIDE OF TALENT IS PERFORMED IN DARK OF THE MOON Dark of the Moon is the story of a witch boy who falls in love with a human girl, Barbara Allen. The drama was a great success. Much of the credit goes to Tom Valach and Rick Polenek for their incredible sets. The play was later shortened to be used for the winter One-Act. CAST Conjur Man.......

The production of the yearbook was a lengthy, intense and exciting process. The ’78 staff was one of the largest yearbook staffs in the Northrop Blake history. The staff was nothing less than dedicated, hard-working and responsible. It was important for each person to cooperate and assist others in order to create this book. There was a need for a high patience and tolerance level when faced with mistakes in the layout. The staff appreciated Marlys Johnson’s help and optimism as faculty advisor. The photographers present a special thanks to G.B. Van Dusen for the use of his fine photographic facilities and infinite wisdom. The cover of this yearbook was created by Susie Heegaard. Though the staff members experienced moments of sporadic hysteria in the Reflections Room, believe it or not. . . they remained sane! Thanks for your support!! (1) That does it, I quit!! (2) You’ve got to be kidding — by tomorrow?? (3) We do find time to relax. (4) Traveling incognito is the safest way to go. (5) You wouldn’t. . . you want to make a bet! (6) Yea, I might be able to type thirty copies in two and a half hours. First row: L Brennan, B. Larson. Second row: K. Budge, J. Pro-shek, J. Lillehei, R. Winton, L. Thatcher, C. Leavenworth.

Behind each issue however, lies much more — Nick's contest with the Hilltop, Marcus' desire for a page six centerfold, John’s threats to charge his writers for mental anguish, and Anne’s perfectionism, all combined with Mac’s verbal vagueness and Sarah’s verbosity in late night (early morning) meetings. The loyal Spectrum photo staff resigned after every issue, effective until the next assignments were handed to them. This year’s Spectrum opened overseas offices in Norway with Mark Swendseen and in Israel with Beth Golden. Eric spent most of his time trying to keep us in the black financially ... a near impossibility. This, plus the talent of a diverse writing staff, was behind each issue. It has been exhilerating as well as exasperating and an experience not easily forgotten. (1) Nick observes one of Sarah's typical poses. (2) Members of the staff work diligently. (3) First row: A.

(3) 28 LIFE FLASH 0) Flash was founded with the idea that every student should have a place to exhibit his talents, whether it be in the studio arts or creative writing field. Flash pushed harder than ever to accomplish that goal. The deadlines were met and quality maintained at a high level. In addition to continuing with ideas from last year, they were constantly developing new ways to achieve their goal. The quality of the magazine, attributed to the enthusiasm of the staff, made this year the best yet. (1) First row: J. Schwartz, J. Jolton. Second row: H. Jones, D. Bloomquist. Third row: Z.

Apart from playing Cricket, the Club’s purpose seems vague. In essence, however, it is the simplest of organizations. The M.C.C. broadens the possibilities for participation that would be found in any other student activity. It serves as an outlet for students’ ideas and turns them into reality. The most significant result this year was the money raised for student activities and community programs. It should also be noted that there are several members who are not Blake students. The future of the M.C.C. is unknown, but the fundamental spirit of the Club shall remain as staunch as the game itself. (1) President Peacock uses the bulletin board for M.C.C. publicity.

(5) 30 LIFE JUNIOR C0NCE9SI0NS The Junior Class began the year with high hopes of raising enough money to put on a spectacular prom in the spring. With a new room and a large enthusiastic staff. Junior Concessions was off to a great start. Weekly trips to Halverson’s Candy Co. kept J.C. stocked with a grand array of goodies. J.C. received a lot of business during lunch hours and added to its profits by selling at games, dances and other school related activities. Thanks to the efforts of the class of 79, J.C. had an outstanding year. First row: L Whitehead, N. DnII, N. Owens, L. Thorpe, L. Brennan, B. Thomson, A. Summer. Second row: D. Smith, K. Johnson, H.

During the 1977-78 school year the Forum involved itself in many areas: rewriting the Student Handbook, planning open-houses for new students, helping set up new organizations and overseeing all fundraising activities. The Forum also handled items of controversy, such as tenth grade study hall. Weekly open meetings as well as monthly homeroom meetings helped to involve many members of The Blake Schools communities with the Forum. LIFE 31 First row: T. Hatch. H. Clarke. R. Wmton, A.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee set up three dances during the school year: Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins and the Spring Dance. For each dance, the committee decorated the auditorium, selected chaperones and supplied the dances with concessions. The committee members not only found great fun in planning the occasions, but they also derived great enjoyment in forming assembly lines to transform the high pitched feeling into the regimented rows upon rows of unfolded chairs. The committee was formed to create a more active social atmosphere within the school community, and that it achieved! First row: 0. Nelson, L. Brennan, N. Hertzberg Second row: L. Ogden, J. Boos.

They have organized several social activities and educational events, such as the third annual International Day and a union of the Minneapolis A.F.S. students. The International Club, renewing an old Northrop tradition, has hung the flags of Belgium, Argentina, and England, in honor of Agnes Dermine, Cesar Crespi and Celia Coleman. The activities of the International Club and the presence of the foreign students have added an international flavor to the Blake Schools. First row: E. Stock, L. Olson, C. Newman, N. Hertzberg, S.

Kuller A seemingly endless series of weekend trips and late night or early morning bus arrivals, all of this to argue whether medical care should be guaranteed to all citizens. The Varsity Debate team endured this and more — broken bones, and broken romances — yet they returned from their weekly treks with a multitude of trophies, representing the excellence with which they performed. The State Debate tournament is next; and if they have their way, that first place trophy will be the crowning touch to a successful year. J.V. DEBATE A group of soon-to-be varsity debaters demonstrated their worth by finishing among the top three teams at virtually every tournament they attended. Who else but a J.V. debater would rise at 5:00 am on Saturday and dedicate the day to competitive, persuasive discourse. Not all is work, however, as friendships were made over games of backgammon in fleeting spare moments. Next year promises to be successful as these people become involved in Varsity Debate.

LIFE 33 THESPIANS The Thespians belong to an international society whose goal is to support and promote theater arts in secondary schools. The organization honors the active theater student who has gained sufficient credit to become a member. This fall, Thespians spent long hard hours on the difficult production of Dark of the Moon. The work paid off as all three performances were successful. Dedicated to their audience, serious in their work, Thespians go by their motto, “Act well your part, there all the honor lies.” First row: T. Falk, M. McVay. N. Burke, K. Budge. Second row: A.

Words often heard as President Kris Johnson and Vice-President-Engineer Chris Hanley struggled to get WHAT back on the airwaves. From assembly announcements to bake sales, WHAT Radio gradually became more well known at Blake. As usual, we ran into problems, the largest being vandalism and lack of radios around the school. We have big plans for the future, and hopefully everybody will share in the WHAT Radio Experience. First row: C. Hanley, R. Kronfeld, K. Johnson. Second row: J. Harris, A. Carl, E. Atwood, A.

Wittenberg, R. Marlin. 34 LIFE MEDICAL BIOLOGY Medical Biology is one of the few school related activities practiced outside the realm of the school building. Med. Bio. is an experience esoteric to those not in participation. The enchantment of the Emergency Room lies within the exposure to a totally different kind of people from school and family society. As volunteer nursing assistants, the students are required to use classroom teachings, intellect and sheer experience in order to aid the nurses and doctors in emergency situations. Working in this field allows the student to obtain hospital experience and a greater appreciation of self and of one’s opportunities. First row: K. Fraley, S. Thompson, 8. Larson. J. Proshek. S.

After the sale of the old collection, devoted members attempted to reconstruct the once great organization. Last summer, dedicated herpetologists explored such exotic places as Anoka, Winona and Mendota Heights in search of the elusive reptiles for the new collection. Having been successful with their summer search, tbe club then turned its attention to feeding the new collection. With financial assistance from the school, and rodent assistance from the U of M Psychology Department, the Club was back on its feet, (scales? . . . claws? v. vsr t P LIFE 35 T. Maxwell, G.

The group was, therefore, less experienced than previous years. Each individual cared a great deal. The result was a very special, dedicated group. With the kind volunteer assistance from former Glee Club accompanist Russ Hilliard and director John Howard, the Blakers' Dozen learned important points about singing, performing and communicating in a small group.

ALL THAT JAZZ 1977-78 will go down in Blake School's history as the first year for the women's singing group, All That Jazz. The eleven girls made their debut at the second annual Talent Revue, singing through Christmas and the New Year, including concerts at the Courage Center and the AFS fundraiser. The group sings only |azz numbers, as their name implies. Included are Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Swingin' Shepard Blues and Steam Heat, enhanced by their own special touch of accompaniment and choreography. The determination, enthusiasm and talent of All That Jazz” have earned them a fine reputation and have made them one of the sparkling attractions audiences can look forward to in years to come. 36 LIFE First row I.

Even though the choir suffered from that infamous question, “Are you sure there aren’t more tenors? they enjoyed the cameraderie of a group who liked to sing. The choir’s repertoire ranged from the classical Canti-que to the modern “Jazz Rock. The choir’s pride and joy was the medley from Hello Dolly. The choir toured to Omaha, Nebraska, for their grand finale. (2) Choir — WAKE UP!! (2) LIFE 37 (2) MEN'S GLEE CLUB This year’s Men’s Glee Club had many young members with much talent. When combined with the older, more experienced members, the group was exceptional. Lots of hard work produced top notch performances. In addition to the hard work, the success was attributed to assistance from director Ginny Claessens, accompanist Jim Ledbetter and supportive coaching from the officers. (1) Ginny keeps the tenors on pitch. First row: J. Ledbetter, 8. Graham, K. Spencer, S. Olson, D. Myers, D. Horn, R. Crawford, J. Lockhart, S. Krogness, G. Claessens. Second row: L. Farah, J. Crosby.

Williams, N. Owens, L. Warner. Despite the large percentage of rookies in Women’s Chorus, they had a spectacular year. They tackled and perfected hard pieces such as “Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring” and Alleluia.” Starting the year with the NO tour blues, they continued with enthusiasm and ended with satisfaction of accomplishment. Outside concerts stimulated their desire to develop their talent of high caliber singing. Their voices were eclectic in range, varying from grumbling bass-altos, to high-pitched squealing sopranos. 1977-1978 was a unique year for the Women's Chorus in that they found fun in giving concerts. Once they formed their Chorus Line” on the risers, the scared faces were overtaken by vibrant smiles. Much appreciation and thanks go to Ginny Claessens and Susie Wolfe — they were a magnificent pair. (2) Chorus practice — a time for smiles and a time for song.

Similar to the participation boom in other sports. Cheerleading had an unbelievable turnout, resulting in the formation of a J.V. squad. The captains of the squads served not only as organizers and leaders, but also as coaches and advisors. All squads had many memorable moments, from bruised knees, attempting new cheers, detaching from the Conservative syndrome, to ripped pom-poms and thirteen skirts for sixteen girls. Cheerleaders didn't realize how greatly appreciated they were until they received a thank-you note and a carnation from an acknowledging team member. Thank you. Cheerleaders, for your enduring support. (1) FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS 1st row: L. Thorpe, N. Hertzberg, L. 8rennan, S. Wolfe, L. John son, A. Leavenworth. 2nd row: M. Eastling, D. Nelson, J.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 47 GRAHN HELP9 LEAD SOCCER TEAM EVEN FROM THE SIDELINE (1) The 1977 Soccer season was a rebuilding time for the Varsity soccer team. The team was young and inexperienced, with seven returning lettermen, only three of whom were seniors. The team realized that in order to succeed, they had to work together. A few opening setbacks and the loss of co captain David Grahn in a soccer accident, posed some problems. Coach Sparky, however, gave the team confidence and desire to strive for the top. The victory over Shattuck was a growing point for the team, and from then on both wins and losses made the team try harder for the top. The season ended with a match against 1 ranked Lincoln. Although Blake lost, in the closing minutes of the final match, the unity and skill showed they had come a long way. (1) A quick move by Pohlad outwits his opponent.

It was a small team consisting of seven girls, all work mg 100%. As the season progressed, the players learned new skills and changed old bad habits. The closeness and sensitivity of the team members allowed for suggestions, criticisms and compliments. The Rambler Rousers and Cheerleaders helped to keep the energy flow at a high level. At the end of the season everyone's knee pads were worn, signifying two things; determination to get the ball, and unbelievable court scrambling. Each member's style and good wit helped to produce a •'Dyno Volleyball season. (1) BLAKE'S OFFENSE SPIKES BACK. (2) Team members plan strategy to psyche out opponents. (3) GO FOR IT. LUC!

On the eve of February 25th, the Blake Bears demonstrated an astounding perseverance at the Augsberg Arena. With few remaining minutes and a score of Blake 0.

Because of the numerous players, Straz and Frank initiated a rooky-point system, whereby any member committing a stupid act (such as forgetting one's uniform, shoes or jock) received a rooky point. Although the race tightened at the end, Daren Bloomquist unanimously swept away the title Rookie of the Year. The entire sea son was dyno, full of good times and memorable experiences, for example the team dinner before each home game. A major highlight of the season was the 62-61 upset victory over Centennial.

This success could not have been possible without the closeness of the team. Their motto became work hard, eat hard (not necessarily in that order) as the energy for practices was sustained by cookies, candy, cakes . . . Entertainment was provided by their numerous versions of Charlie's Angels, and their unique form of humor The responsibility each member took to learn at least one version of the hustle, greatly attributed to their success as witty, agile com petitors on the court. 62 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 63 From the opening weeks of the season, the Swim team could tell that success lay ahead of them Although they were under the guidance of two new coaches, the enthusiasm, dedication and experience of Rob Ellett and Craig Robinson kept the swimmers and two rookie divers striving for excellence. As the season unfolded, so did many unique experiences. They had their first annual 24-hour swimming marathon in which twenty swimmers chalked up 100 miles and very little sleep. They moved themselves through many thousands of yards of water to become a very solid and competitive team. For truly the dedication, sacrifice and talent of the 1977-78 swim team is easily as large as the letters BLAKE painted on the aquatic center wall (1) The SHRINE (2) Surf's Up.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 67 ALPINE SKIING TAKES GATE AT STATE The team, ranging from freshmen to seniors, demonstrated its ability to perform at an unbelievable level. The team was managed in such a way that cuts were unnecessary, granting each racer the opportunity to compete. Experiences were exciting. One biting day in January with a windchill of -58°, twelve varsity skiers met at Welch Village to compete in the Hastings Invitational. The boys skied away with first place in slalom, and the girls, a third in both slalom and giant slalom. Showing their talent, they continued their first place wins at the sectional meet, sending seven individuals to State. At State, Doug Tengdm swept away 1st place, Bruce Yonehiro 2nd, Ted Thiss 6th, Tony Olin 7th, Mary Hartfiel 6th and Tori Lowe 7th, giving Blake the 1 team title. Unfortunately, they are losing some national competitors, but viewing the talent of sophomores and juniors, the team will be consistently the s 1 team in the state for the years to come.

Pre-season training camps at Telemark, as well as the traditional Christmas camp, provided a solid base on which the twenty-two member team could build. The girl's team looks forward to a promising season next year, as they lose only two skiers, the boy's team must build to make up for the loss of seven graduating seniors.

Right away they took over the third floor lounge, made new friends and took the responsibility and challenge of being accepted by the upperclassmen. The class of ’81 has a bright future awaiting them at Blake, and the potential to make it unforgettable to all involved!

This loud and spirited group involved itself immediately in school activities by building the only class float for Homecoming. However, their relentless energy did subject them to frequent embroilments with administrators and faculty members. This class never ceased to liven up classrooms, the lobby, the lunchroom, and assemblies. The best of luck to a special Blake class.

MARIE AGNES DERMINE To Live, it is sometimes difficult, because there are so many things we cannot reach: the impossibility of discovering the infinite, for we are only finished; the impossibility of being perfect, for we are only impure natures. The incapacity of giving everything, because we have, in the depths of ourselves, an important quantity of selfishness. But we possess the capacity to try to tend to the Infinite, the Perfect; to fight against our selfishness. And therefore. Life is worthwhile to be lived, and to reach our aim, we have a great force: The love. M.A.D. 120 THE NEW LEADER Duff . . . Doof . . . Missy . . . Swiss Miss . . . English girl . . .

To fail is to accept the actual and reject the ideal, and to accept only that which is ideal and refuse the actual is to be immature. Do not criticize the actual because you have seen the ideal. Do not reject the ideal because you see the actual. Maturity is to live with the actual, but to hold on to the ideal.

The one who produced so much happiness and whatever else it is that which makes life worth the living. The others, they seemed so concerned. I saw their motives, however, and realized that their concern was not authentic. But they, as I, were unimportant. Now that I have acquired death, only three things have significance: a hamburger, a cup of coffee, and a girl. There was a clock as well, but it only continued to turn. (pause) I suppose it was just as well. 124 THE NEW LEADER We in this country, in this generation, are, by destiny rather than choice, the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility — that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our own time, and for all time, the ancient vision of peace on earth, goodwill toward men. That must always be our goal — and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. — President Kennedy conclusion of the speech he never made. He was assassinated en route. FRANK HAYES GOLDSTRAND I wonder what will happen to Blake now. Our graduation signals the end of an era. The direction of the school, like the direction of our futures, remains uncertain.

Full of love ready to share her experiences of life. Happiness and sadness Successes and failures are very real to her. Boundless energy Continuous potential and motivation stimulate her interest to reach her goals. Willing to take risks in order to learn — about herself, others and life. Taking on responsibilities is a true addiction — limitless in fact. Full of imagination and very creative — Some may think she’s zany, but we know better.

SANDRA BETH LIVINGSTON Sometimes, not often enough, we reflect about the good things, and those thoughts always center 'round those we love. And I think about those people, who mean so much to me and, who, for so many years have made me happy and I count the times I have forgotten to say Thank You and just how much I love them. Sometimes I wish I were a child again. Skinned knees are easier to fix than broken dreams. 136 THE NEW LEADER So is my life — “My duty moves along with my song: I am I am not: That is my destiny. I exist not if I do not attend to the — pains of those who suffer: They are my pains. For I cannot be without existing for all, for all who are silent and oppressed, I come from the people and I sing for them: My poetry is song and punishment. I am told, you belong to darkness. Perhaps, perhaps, but I walk toward the light. I am the man of bread and fish and you will not find me among books, but with men and women: they have taught me the infinite.

At first Nan seems quiet and a bit shy, but her sparkling eyes and vibrant smile light her entire being. Today the swim team calls her Q-tip, tomorrow she’ll be called an Olympian. Nan’s determination to finish everything she starts, will take her far. She always has time to share her laughter and concerns with a friend. She is a supportive and understanding individual. Nan has a strong belief system, full of definite values and morals. She could never hurt anyone — as a friend, she gives as much as she receives. Nan, like a bug crawling on the sand, walks quietly through life, leaving a strong impression. — LDT — NAN NIEHAU8 THE NEW LEADER 143 ELIZABETH LEE OLSON Now I see the secret of making the best persons, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

MacMillian Co. 1970 Goodbye, Blake. We’ll meet again. In all the world, there is no one exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine. I am responsible for my actions and feelings, for I chose them to be what they are. I am the creator of my successes and failures in life, and I am willing to take responsibility for them. I am me, and I own me. —LDT— If you could really accept that you weren't OK You could stop proving you were OK. If you could stop proving that you were OK You could get that it was OK not to be OK.

I’m willing to believe in the ways of magic. THE NEW LEADER 155 KENDRICK ANN TROSTEL And let your best be for your friend. If I must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain is clearer from the plain. —from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran CHRISTOPHER GRANT VAALER All the people whom I have known or have known of, have had one thing in common: they have all transcended the elements governing their field, for they have realized that the paths unto greater glory are to be flown above and not merely trodden upon. 156 THE NEW LEADER ' : Stace . . .

This is driving me sane! . . . Very perceptive. She’s silent but deadly under that cool, calm exterior. This real sweetheart is all sugar (with a dash of spice!). She’s the only person who actually studies in the Senior Room. Her kindness and patience make her a dependable friend who is always there to help and to understand. “Forgive no error you recognize, it will repeat itself, increase, and afterwards our pupils will not forgive in us what we forgave. Yevtushenko DAVID SCOTT WILLIAMS, JR. If one is to live life to the fullest, he should ignore the comments of fools. Who is to say that what is right for you is right for me? If it were, I would do as you do, but I don’t, and I am satisfied. After all, isn’t self-satisfaction what it’s all about? It is life, and should be lived to the fullest. Do what is comfortable for you, and take advice as it applies. 158 THE NEW LEADER Rufe ... Big Red ... Mr. Sarcastic . . . thinks he’s got a black belt . . .
