Aside from her function as Mrs. Stock's secretary, she is the nurse who hands out aspirin and the efficient co-ordinator of the office area. For the past five years. Rose has probably met, helped, and laughed with virtually every student at Blake. Everyone who knows her admires and respects her. For her indispensability and participation in the life of The Blake Schools since 1972, Reflections 1979 is dedicated to Rose Dukatz. In the beginning there was The Blake Schools. Formed from chaos and developing despite mild confusion. The Blake Schools and its traditions began. It was crazy those first few years. Men and women remained divided. However, people united. Students found things in common, faculty merged and administration pulled the school together. As a result of this development the school's traditions and spirit arose and continued to grow each year. The year 1978-1979 is special because it marks the fifth anniversary of The Blake Schools. This year, supported by our newly formed traditions, each one of us continues to grow. This yearbook is an attempt to show all of us; faculty, students and administration growing, learning, experiencing together. And as each of us grows individually, we add meaning and uniqueness to our school. The Blake Schools. 4 — Introduction A PLACE FOR ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT. . A PLACE NOT ONLY OF TRADITIONS. . .

Introduction—13 THE BLAKE SCHOOLS On the morning of September 7,1974, a new school opened its doors. In fact, there were three doors. One door opened at Highcroft in Wayzata. Another door was located at the Blake Campus in Hopkins. A third door welcomed Upper School students to the new Upper School on the Northrop campus in Minneapolis. This last was to be a temporary residence for its students as plans were readied for a new building to be built on the Blake campus. Meanwhile, participants in afterschool sports were shuttled out to the Hopkins campus. After a few years of anticipating the new building and seeking funds in the face of rising construction costs, the project became impossible to fulfill. In the best interest of the faculty and students and from a standpoint of financial responsibility, The Blake Schools decided in 1978 to remain on its existing three campuses. The Three School Foundation, the pre-merger incorporating group, established its name as The Blake Schools in 1974. When the schools actually merged, a different name for the new school was sought. The chosen name was to be “Venture. Unfortunately, another school had this name. Therefore, the name “The Blake Schools remained and became the official school title. The school colors blue, green and white were chosen by a vote of the school body. The mascot for the athletic teams became a bear. A new logo was also designed. With these minor but significant changes in the school, the student body as well as the faculty began to sense the essence of the new school and to develop a spirit for it. Important people were behind the new school's merger and its success in the first few years. A man who actively participated in the merger and initiated many changes was john Crosby, II. The headmaster, Jack Edie, strongly supported the new school. With his helpful guidance, he made the experience more endurable for everyone. Randolph 18 History History 19 WATT HAPPENED TO W.H.A.T. RADIO.... [CHESS |$HELF| FLASH I BAND I As the new school got under way and organizations and activities began, students and teachers worked together to continue past organizations and to develop new ones. Spectrum, Yearbook, and Flash began. The International Club and The Social Committee continued successfully also. Other organizations weren't so successful. After a few years some organizations ceased functioning. Cared for by the Herpetology Club, the Herpetology Collection, one of the largest in the state, diminished to only a few snakes. The Shelf, a paperback book store, no longer exists. The Chess Club, the school band, wrestling, and WHAT radio have also ceased to exist. Flash changed its name to Mahnomen, and Bravura became Reflections. A very successful new club is the Minneapolis (D) Cricket Club started in 1977 by Marcus Peacock's interest in raising money for school activities. The forum has developed into a useful, working, and successful representative body. This year, 1978, the Key Club extended its arm to The Blake Schools, again by a student's participation and enthusiasm. 20 History AND THE WRITING ON THE WALLS .. The first few years of the merger caused awkwardness and confusion. Because the Northrop building was to be only a temporary home for its students, they took less care of the building surrounding them. This feeling could be seen in the grafitti on the walls. Property was stolen from the school as well as from the students. Unfortunately, a handful of students created discomfort for others. As the school has evolved into its 5th year, and the building has been declared the Upper School's permanent residence, money has been put into remodeling and refurbishing and the students have begun to care for their school. The parking lot has been enlarged, a security system has been installed, and the third floor lounge has been renovated. The role that sports and competitive speech activities has played has paralleled the growth of spirit in the school. We competed as new, inexperienced teams learning to work together. After years of team development. The Blake Schools holds its own in most competition. The sports program at the new school has the largest selection of sports for both men and women in the state. Examples of the school's improvement are state championship titles taken by Varsity Debate, both Varsity downhill ski teams, and the One-Act play. Tennis was also a runner up in the state. The Blake Schools began as an idea. It started small. People from the old schools as well as people new to the school have worked together to make the idea a reality. As it grew, the school has changed. It has learned from old mistakes to produce a better environment for everyone. The hardest times are past. According to the ISACS evaluation of the school made in 1978. we have come a long way in five years and we can be proud of The Blake Schools.

During this time, the class lived, ate, played, and had discussions together in an attempt to unify its members. In return for the use of the Camp Warren facilities, each member of the senior class participated in a work project. There was also plenty of free time to enjoy the activities such as soccer, volleyball, horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, and sailing that the camp offered. During the Saturday night after-dinner discussion, everyone seemed concerned with the competition that existed between class members. There was much anxiety and anger, but the discussion was worthwhile, because people finally began to share what they were feeling. later, the class and faculty divided into groups to perform skits. Given a brown paper bag full of odd props, each group had to produce a skit in fifteen minutes. One of the more memorable skits was about the Concheads. A bonfire and a sing-a-long concluded the evening, and many students also braved the sauna and a dip in the lake. Sunday morning, there was an optional fellowship service which consisted of several readings and songs. It was a quiet, introspective time. Then, the students divided into small groups to discuss class and school goals. After this discussion, individuals paired off to talk about personal goals in an attempt to make the students reach out to classmates that they had never really gotten to know. The main activity of the afternoon was the Olympics. Teams competed in events such as the three-legged race and the baseball bat relay. After dinner, a square dance was held. Students and teachers jived to the calls of the quarterback. The crowd-pleasing song of the evening was We're not as young as we used to be. The following morning, brunch consisted of leftovers. Students and faculty feasted on such delicacies as spaghetti with pancakes. Senior Weekend was a time for each individual of the senior class to reac h out to other members. It was a time to strengthen class unity and to form new friendships. 24 — Senior Week-end and Snow I )av SNOW DAY A day at Camp Ihduhopi provided the senior class with the time to recapture the spirit of Senior Weekend. The class was given free time to slide, play broomball, skate, walk, and crosscountry ski. After lunch and the traditional song, Oh, the Lord is good to me . . the class had time to discuss and re-evaluate the goals they had set on Senior Weekend. They also talked about important factors such as senior slump. It seemed that several seniors felt that their motivation diminished as the year continued and college became imminent. They also discussed the fact that their independence resulted in less school leadership. Given the time to get together, the senior class renewed their class goals and unity. Senior Week-end — 25 With the entrance of Big Bird, the Jolly Green Giant, a flasher, and several Romans clad in colorful togas into school Tuesday morning, the 1978 Homecoming festivities began. Each year as a part of Blake's Homecoming activities, the weekdays are designated with different dress themes. The costumes mentioned above were just a few of the outfits students wore for Costume Day. Wednesday was Opposite Sex Day. Boys dressed as buxom ladies and girls dressed as tomboys and gentlemen. The ever-popular Clash Day was on Thursday. Some of the wildest outfits this side of the Mississippi were concocted by the students. Friday was the traditional School Colors Day. Team members wore their uniform jerseys and all other students wore appropriate outfits of blue, green, and white. Soccer, football, and volleyball teams all had the Minnehaha Academy Indians as their Homecoming opponents. The winning slogan for the Homecoming button slogan contest was Bear-y the Indians. The cheerleaders held two rabble-rousing pep-fests. One of them was held Thursday night at the bonfire, and the other was held Friday morning. The veteran cheerleaders felt that they had never led more enthusiastic pep-fests. The class cheering contest, that was held Friday morning, was done to the cheer We say blue, you say green. The seniors were victorious as they are traditionally, even though they were the smallest class this year. The Thursday night bonfire was an event of well-warmed spirit and humor, led by emcees Dave Crawford and Derek Malmquist, the program consisted of coaches' speeches, class and team skits, and numerous cheers. The skits were well done and very amusing. The senior girls' skit was entitled The Twelve Years of School. The juniors, showing their pride, screamed We're juniors, we know it . . ., the sophomores did a confusing skit starring Leslie Swendseen, and the ninth graders all jumped off the bridge. The soccer team's Ed Atwood starred in their almost shocking skit, and the cheerleaders impersonated various team members of the football and soccer teams in their skit which ended in a mock tug-of-war. The football team presented their skit Friday morning, which was based on a beer commercial featuring a tug-of-war between backs and lineman, and the volleyball squad performed in a dance line to the tune of Hello Volleyball. The bonfire also had an element of suspense — the announcement of the 1978 Homecoming Royalty. Homecoming BEAR-Y THE INDIANS Homecoming — 27 HOMECOMING 78 The 78-79 royal court was ruled by King Tom Hatch and Queen Vicky McClure. Their attendants were seniors David Downie and Janet Kane, juniors Nick Cronin and Diana Nelson, sophomores Pete Seterdahl and Leslie Swend-seen, and freshmen Mike Korengold and Ann Berglund. Three of the Homecoming athletic events took place on Thursday. The soccer team faced a tough Minnehaha team and lost with a 2-0 decision. The swim team was victorious over the Ben-ilde Red Knights, and the volleyball team filled the stands with supportive fans, but was defeated by a good Minnehaha squad. All events were well attended and the teams appreciated the enthusiastic Homecoming fan support. Many alumni were present for the climax of athletic events. Blake's football squad took on Minnehaha's Indians. The crowd of fans cheered the team on to a comeback victory of 18 to 13 in which Blake really succeeded in. Bear-ying the Indians. The half-time parade featured the royalty, cheerleaders, and tloats made by the underclassmen. A few band members from Edina East also added to the festivities. The final event of the Homecoming 78 was the Homecoming dance. This year couples danced in semi-formal attire to the sounds of Cabin Fever. All students agreed the dance was a perfect ending to the week-long Homecoming activities. The 1978 Homecoming was memorable for all involved. The activities inspired enthusiasm and unity in the school. Homecoming— 29 SHAKESPEARE LIVES ON IN A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM The Puck frill, a little fairy dust, and a semi-dark stage were all elements of the opening of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a fantasy with fairies, an ass, and mixed-up lovers. The moment that the flute began to play, the audience was swept away into a night of enchantment. At first, everyone was appalled at the thought of doing a Shakespearean play. As time went on, however, the actors became more familiar with the language and really began to enjoy the play. There were memorable moments, such as Demetrius' declaration of his love for Helena-Forrie goofed his line, but made an excellent cover. I he cast breathed a sigh of relief. In the early days of rehearsal, it seemed as though the show would never get off the ground. The opening scene with Theseus and Hippo (as Hippolyta was affectionately called) dragged horribly. Mrs. Blake joked about cutting the scene. Then, something happened; the scene became exciting! There were problems with the actions. Puck was required to do flips, jumps, and aerial cartwheels, and the lovers had to stage a fight. Although the actors feared physical injury, when the show was performed, they flew through the air fearlessly. The ridiculous antics of the rustics in Pyramus and Thisby, a play within the play, were a highlight of the' performance. The hard work and dedication of the performers and the direction of Mrs. Blake made The Dream come true. Casf Dirc lor leanne E.

The program, headed by Vicky McClure, is one which is advantageous for both groups. It offers the ninth graders an opportunity to get to know the seniors and through talking with them, learn a little more about how to survive in Upper School. The seniors get an opportunity to meet and know the freshmen and be a big brother or sister to someone, relationships they might not otherwise experience. The seniors, in keeping with tradition, had their nines' names revealed to them over Senior Weekend and were introduced to the freshmen a few days later in the packed senior room. The first senior-nine party was held on a blustery day in November at Woodhill Country Club. Those who came played football, soccer, volleyball, and paddle tennis together. In mid-February, another senior-nine extravaganza occurred. The winter party, held at Orono Golf Course and based at freshman Kim Whitehead's house, was a great opportunity for seniors and nines to slide, cross country ski, and get rowdy together. The program was not entirely a success as some seniors and their nines were somewhat incompatible. However, for those pairings that did get along, lasting friendships were formed. }2 — Senior-Nine ONE-ACT PLAY SADIE HAWKINS The Soulh rose again on Saturday, Dec. 9th, when Blake students were suddenly transformed into hillbillies for the annual Sadie Hawkins' Dance. A new wrinkle was added to the festivities this year with the existence of a jail and some eager sheriffs. Each couple had to be constantly touching each other lest the male half of the pair be thrown into jail by the sheriffs. To get the boy out, the girl had to either kiss him, or pay ten cents. Needless to say, though there were many jailbirds, not much money was made. Music for the Southern theme dance was provided by Paradox, who played before guys and gals clad in straw hats, checks, overalls, and billowing skirts. Nine actors drove .to Delano on a snowy morning. One car ran out of gas, the tension was building. The Blake actors took a cut-down version of A Midsummer Night's Dream to the district one-act play competition. The director, Mrs. Blake, cut the show down to include Oberon, Titania, Puck, First Fairy, Bottom, Thisby, Snout, Helena. Hermia, Demetrius, and Lysander. Only nine actors could participate, so Demetrius, First Fairy, and Thisby were all played by the same actor, Dave Dow-nie. Blake went on to Regionals and placed second behind Howard Lake-Waverly's one-act entry. Laura Thorpe got crucified feet by crawling around on the concrete Delano stage. Dave Downie ruined his leg when Laura Sahr jumped on his back. Diana Nelson's dress got stuck underneath Dick Phillips when she was waking up. Celi Beach bruised her back when she flipped over Bill Baker's back. Steve Olson sounded like an Irish Oberon with his brogue. Chris Walsh's lips became permanently sore by playing the flute throughout the show. Everyone had a lot of fun. 33 OKTOBERFEST, TALENT W — Concerts REVUE, CHRISTMAS CONCERT This year the music department produced three concerts which varied from whole-school performances to individual acts. The Oktoberfest was the first all-school concert which came as a result of an ISAACS' suggestion that there be more coordination between the schools. The concert was performed at Anwatin Middle School. The musical groups from the Lower School coordinated Orff instruments and dance movements with their songs. The Middle School sang songs of British origin. The groups from the Upper School also performed songs of foreign origin such as Ya Ba Bom. The finale incorporated all musical groups in a round of Gaudeamus and a religious piece, Oh! Brother Man. The Talent Revue was the second performance of the year. All musical groups in the Upper School as well as any interested individuals participated in the concert. The emcees, Dick Phillips, Ceci Beach, Beth Golden, and Dave Crawford, introduced such acts as the Charlie Brown duet with Leslie Swendseen and Ann Lundblad. Other memorable performances were the Tenderloins singing Merry Oldsmobile and Lyda Rose with Helen Clarke, jugglers Stowe Harris and Brian Cox, and the famous Le French Chef, Brad Klein. The variety and abundance of talent at Blake was apparent. Tradition continued at the annual Christmas Concert. Women's Chorus, Men's Glee Club, and Concert Choir sang both religious pieces and jolly Christmas songs. The Concert Choir added a unique performance when they sang a Bach Cantata with the Kenwood Chamber Orchestra. The Christmas Song which the Blaker's Dozen stole from the Princeton Nassoons was the highlight of the show. The audience joined in the traditional carol sing. Santa Claus arrived just in time to throw popcorn balls into the audience with his football arm. The finale coordinated all groups in the song Christmas Day. The auditorium was filled with people happy with Christmas spirit. Concerts — 35 A PORTRAIT OF A DANCE Once upon a time, there was a girl and a boy. They both had dreams of going to a Blake dance together, but they were both very shy. You see, the boy was the big man on campus. He was captain of the football team, admired by all, and of course tall, dark, and handsome. The girl was homecoming queen, head cheerleader, and envied by all of the girls. When they would pass each other in the halls, their eyes would meet, they would flash a quick smile, and they would say hello. The extent of their relationship never passed that stage until one day in the lunchroom. The boy sat down with all of the guys to eat, when the girl walked by and caught his eye. She made her way past his table when he was in the process of bringing his glass of milk up to his lips. When he caught a glimpse of her hair, he quickly turned his head spilling his milk down the front of his shirt. She, noticing the sudden commotion, quickly came over to help him clean up. It was at that embarrassing moment that he mustered the courage to ask her to the dance. Can you spot this couple on the dance floor? 36 — A Dance FORUM REFLECTIONS SPECTRUM MAHNOMEN DEBATE CHORUS rW GLEE CLUB tfc MIXED CHOIR r M ALL THAT JAZZ -1. , BLAKER'S DOZEN s6£|Al c£ MUiTTEE THfP,ANS hIrpetolog! • ■� - ”7 i MPLS RICKETCI B intention � CLUB KEY CL m FRENCH - Club 1 , m Organizations — 39 FORUM REACHES OUT First row: Rob Hudnut, Both Golden, John Hatch, Jim Student, John Share.

The Forum is a student-faculty-administration governing body which deals with the daily problems arising from school life. The organization is comprised of 15 members of the school community: two students from each grade, five faculty members, the head of the Upper School, and the Senior Class President. Jim Student was this year's Forum president. The most important goal that the 1978-79 Forum set for itself was to increase student participation in school activities. A Forum-sponsored activities assembly was given to acquaint the students with all school organizations and their purposes. The Forum also dealt with such issues as test scheduling, the P.E. requirement, and the orientation of new students to the Upper School. Forum members meet with homerooms monthly in an attempt to get much needed feedback from the student body. These sessions, along with numerous questionnaires and open weekly meetings in the conference room, have contributed greatly to the Forum's strength in 1978-1979. 40 —The Forum The Forum — 41 REFLECTIONERS GO INSANE First row: C.

Starting ten days lx fore deadlines, doing one layout in three hours, doing nothing in four hours, constant yelling, crying, insults, and never ending laughing due to sadness as well as frustration all helped to make each member of the Reflections Staff shake his head in dislxdief of the thought of ever getting done before the dr-ad-line. But m all truth the dedication of the staff members was the reason that each yearbook section met its deadline. Members came in (or 15 hour sessions on Saturdays and stayed until 11 o'clock on weeknights sending frustrated roars and laughs through the third floor halls. With the creative leadership of John Wright, the 1979 Blake School yearbook will be one of the most original yearlxx ks Blake has had. Each staff member has learned new skills which will become useful in the years to follow. Not only have they learned how to produce a yearbook, but they have learned how to work with people under pressure. Quiet people learned how to roar, nice people learned how to lx mean, and happy people became unhappy people. But as much as every staff member hated every other staff member within the Yearbook Room limits, outside they were all friends. 42 — Reflections Reflections —43 First row: John Share, John Crosby, Dick Phillips, Helen Clarke, John Sutter — co-editor, Beth Golden —co-editor, John MacArthur, Forrie Burke, Warner Ide Dick Crawford.

Star date ??: Several Blake students were reported to have been lurking monthly around the third floor at one o'clock a.m. disturbing the peace (of mind) and courageously coping with condemned copy, contrary to contemporary belief. These students of questionable mind and body strove to obtain their one-year mission to search out new stories . . . to defend mediocrity with eloquence ... to put in bold face that which no man has put before. . . Unfortunately, reporters found only remnants of the Spectrum staff. (The remainder of the staff claims to have taken the issue off. ) They were discovered hanging out of the Pub window, drowning their sorrows in bottles of pop, letting their fingers really do the walking on broken manual typewriters, screaming at the top of their lungs, writing obscene headlines, and cursing Bud-the-publisher. It is suspected that the 1978-1979 Spectrum staff was not taking an ego trip — it was simply taking a trip . . . Spectrum — 45 FLASH GOES MAHNOMEN Mahnomen, formerly known as Flash, is the student literary arts magazine that comes out three times a year. (Mahnomen is the Chippewa name for wild rice.) Members of the staff have the big responsibility of convincing students that their prose, poetry, artwork, or photography is good enough to be printed. Then, the staff has to get the student body to read the magazine! With the help of Editor-in-Chief, Zoltan Grossman's rousing assembly announcements, response to this year's newly named literary arts magazine has been good. Mahnomen lives on the third floor next to the senior room, and its existence gives students the opportunity to express themselves artistically.

The Varsity Debate team traveled to Philadelphia, Chicago, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Iowa to debate this resolution. The team has a lot of depth this year. They continue to uphold past tradition by competing well. In the middle of the season the team won five tournaments in a row. The team has high hopes for the national tournament. IA) First row: G.

The initial confusion and frustration that the many “rookies in 1978-1979 Chorus felt eventually was transformed into the spark of life that the small group needed. With a lot of hard work and a growing enthusiasm, the inexperienced group began to feel like veterans after the first few concerts. Two of the highlights of the first part of the year for Chorus were singing at the Hillcrest Nursing Home, and Christmas caroling downtown in Minneapolis, although the group nearly lost girls down dark streets on window shopping sprees, and almost laughed themselves to death at dinner. The group members felt decidedly closer together. With plans for the spring musical still indefinite, the Chorus finished the year with a great attitude and an abundance of enthusiasm. President Liz Cloutier and the rest of the girls appreciated immensely the help of Ginny Claessens, the director, and )im Ledbetter, the accompanist. Without their guidance the inexperienced girls would never have developed into the seasoned veterans that they became. 48 — Womens' Chorus GLEE CLUB KEEPS UP TRADITION This year's Glee Club was considerably smaller than that of past years due to the scheduling procedure. The twenty-two members, composed primarily of freshman and sophomores, felt, however, that their voice sound quality was the best that it has been for a few years. Though, for the first time ever, there will be no tour, the group performed in several concerts, including the Oktoberfest, The Talent Revue, The Christmas concert, a nursing home, and bank. The group has worked with incredible enthusiasm and pride in the fine Glee Club tradition under the guidance of President Eric Anderson, and the directorship of Ginny Claessens and Jim Ledbetter. Sparked by the leadership of the Glee Club's five seniors, and Lieb's voice, the Club had a great year. First row: |. Ledbetter — Asst Director, S Card, S. Diamond. B Ogden, P. Seteni.ihl, T Tuomie.

The 1978-79 Mixed Concert Choir was the largest choral group at Blake and had talent to accompany its size. Led by President Helen Clarke and Vice-President Dave Upin, the roster was made up of eight choir veterans, many experienced singers from Chorus and Glee Club, and a few rookies. Rehearsals included lessons in how to survive without really breathing, how to memorize a song one has never seen, and how to distinguish the louds from the softs. Performances in the midst of these rehearsals involved selections such as Ya Ba Ba Bom and Java Jive. The choir provided something new for the Holiday Concert audience with its presentation of Bach Cantata 142 with the orchestral accompaniment of The Kenwood Chamber Orchestra. For the annual spring tour the group traveled to LaCrosse, Wise., and Chicago, III., to share their skills and enthusiam with other schools. Much respected choral director Ginny Claessen and assistant Jim Ledbetter guided this year's choir to great accomplishment, true success, and fun. SO—Concert Choir ALL THAT JAZZ JAZZES IT UP I. Cloulier, M. Kochiras, H. McGovern, R. Bohan, A. lundblad, L. Swendseen, A. Leavenworlh, A. Johnson. The goal of this year's All That Jazz was to establish their own kind of singing, yet live up to the fine reputation that previous groups had established with the audiences. With only nine girls in the group, all underclassmen and rookies, the group worked hard and gained invaluable experience singing songs like Chattanooga Choo-Choo and Summertime. Highlight performances were given by the girls at the annual Talent Revue, the Courage Center, and the Festive Christmas Concert. The group's success was measured in how much improvement they felt they had made, and, indeed, all members thought they had a very fine year. Each member can look forward to a fine future, continuing the spirit and determination always inherent in All That jazz. BLAKER'S DOZEN DOZ IT BEST With the Princeton Nassoons and Yale Whiffenpoofs as examples, the 1978-79 Blaker's Dozen reached a level of excellence that hadn't been heard for many years. Thirteen of the best male voices in the school put in many long hours of practice at 7 bells and also on Sundays in order to perfect the songs in their repertoire. By February they had an impressive list of songs and were doing concerts with a certain degree of regularity. Throughout the year the Dozen appreciated the assistance it got from John Howard, Russ Hilliard, and Jim Ledbetter. With experiences like fifteen practices in eighteen days perfecting The Christmas Song, the Dozen had a year which was hard work, but fun-filled. First row: R. Hudnul, E. Anderson, |. lieberman, A.

Sparked by president Jim Spencer, the small but dedicated staff kept the school inundated with daily munchies in the basement and sometimes Friday afternoon bake sales. J.C. also sold their goodies at extra-curricular activities such as sporting events. All the staff members created a super, fat(!), J.C. year! First row: B. Bart, L. Phelps, A. Tobiarv Second row: N.

Or who decorates the auditorium? The Social Committee is the answer. The committee's job is to handle all social events for the student body. This year the social committee is very large. Interestingly enough, most of the members are girls. Under the leadership of Katie Maurer and Diana Nelson, the committee has been responsible for Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, and the Sweetheart Dance. Homecoming is, of course, a tradition. Sadie Hawkins and the Sweetheart Dances were unique for several reasons. Students went to Sadie Hawkins dressed as hillbillies. There was a marrying booth and a jail for all men who were not holding their dates' hands. The Sweetheart Dance is a totally new creation. The committee did an excellent job of choosing bands and decorating the auditorium. As a result of strong leadership, creativity, and support from the student body, the Social Committee had a very successful year. 52 — J.C. and Social Committee First row: K. Morgan, S. Heegaard, I.

HERPETOLOGY The Herpetology Club has been strongly supported by the school this year. With the help of faculty advisor, Greg Bartel, and the dedication of a small number of students, the club worked hard. Their efforts were rewarded when Julie, a 17-foot Burmese python, and other reptiles were placed in their care. The club's aim is to expand its collection of crocodiles and to increase the variety of its snake collection. First row: M. Phillips — Pres., B. Bart. Second row: M. Cowles. Third row: B. Clark, K.

The troupe is led by sponsor Jeanne Blake, president Laura Sahr and secretary treasurer Diana Nelson. As a result of their leadership and devotion, the number of thespians is increasing every year. A strong and enthusiastic group, the Thespains motto states their objective: “Act well your part, for there all the honor lies. This fall the Thespians helped produce. A Midsummer Night's Dream, the first play by Shakespeare that the school has ever attempted. In an effort to promote unification of the Blake Schools the play was performed for the Lower Schools for the first time. The group topped off the performances appropriately with a cast “toga party at Sahrs'. The Thespians look forward this spring to their third annual academy awards. Similar to the parent ceremony, awards are given to best Thespian, best actor, best actress, and other deserving people. First row: B. Golden, I. Ogden. Second row: F. Burke, S. Olson, M. Adams.

Herpetology and Thespians — 53 THE MINNEAPOLIS CRICKET CLUB The Minneapolis Cricket Club is known not only for afternoons spent playing cricket, but also for activities which benefit the school. Its main purpose is to raise money for any school organizations requesting funds. This year the MCC has been very active. In the beginning of the year, donuts were sold in the lunchroom to hungry students. Donut sales were discontinued when there were not enough people to sell the donuts. At Christmas time the club sold elf cards which were delivered with a kiss. This fund raiser was a phenomenal success. The money was donated to the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, The MCC has also donated money to the junior class to help them get the pop machine going. In addition, they donated money to Spectrum and Reflections to buy desperately needed typewriters. Under the leadership of David Upin, the president, the Minneapolis Cricket Club has provided many benefits for the community. first row: S. Miller, A. Johnson, I Brennan, R. Fecht, A. Leavenworth, M.

KEY CLUB A part of the national chain of clubs sponsored by Kiwanis, the Key Club was founded in The Blake Schools by Tom Keller. This year has been one of organization. The club has had some difficulty in finding support from the student body. Despite the lack of support, they have high hopes of being involved in projects to aid the community. Activities such as volunteering at nursing homes, hospitals, and child care clinics as well as raising money for charity are all seen as possibilities. President jocey Hale provides the leadership for the small group. With dedication the Key Club can grow to be beneficial to both the school and the community. first row: |. Hale, M. Miller, C.

The International Club is composed of students and faculty who are interested in knowing more about the people and cultures of countries different from our own. Some of the events that the club has sponsored this year include a Christmas party for A.F.S. students from the Minneapolis Suburban area and the school's fourth annual International Day, where the student body has the opportunity to hear speakers representing many different countries. The club also holds international bake sales to raise money to buy flags to honor the school's foreign exchange students. Traditionally, students attending our school from other countries are invited to join, and this year we are pleased to have A.F.S. student Anne Kertula from Finland, English Speaking Union student Jonathan Stephens, and a new student to our school, Pauline Pousette, from Sweden as members. THE FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais was originated by Ceci Beach this year, because of considerable interest expressed by French students. Its purpose was to give these students a chance to speak French outside the classroom situation and to deepen their appreciation of French culture. The main activities of the club included going to dinners, films, and meetings of the new Twin Cities' Jeune Alliance Francaise , an organization affiliated with the Alliance Francaise. The purpose of Le Cercle is to install a love of French language and culture in the school. First row: I. Gosby, C. Beach Second row: A. Summer, B Reynolds, I. Brennan, N. Hertzberg, B. Thomson, J.

With the strong leadership provided by coach Marnie Greer and co-captains Barb Dugan and Rhonda Nelson, the tennis team had an extremely successful season. Starting off on a shaky foot, the team was able to smooth out all the rough spots by the time of the conference meet. After receiving the conference title, the girls competed in the Sub-Region 5 Tournament, winning 4 to 1. As a result of this competition, the team qualified for the Region 5 Tournament. The first doubles team of Mary Hartficl and Kate Kelly, and the first singles player, Barb Dugan, moved on to the individual Region 5 Tournament. The team won the Region 5 Tournament with a score of 4 to 1, thus qualifying for the State meet. The individual players also qualified for Stale.

J.V. and Freshman Football — 61 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASM LEADS MACHO MEN With courage in their hearts and Macho Man in their heads the 1978 Varsity Football Team tackled each game with spirit. What they lacked in experience they made up for in the enthusiasm each member was able to generate for every game. In their last minute losses to top-rated Mahtomedi and arch-rival SPA, the team felt the agony of defeat. They were able to rebound, however, in a come from behind victory over Minnehaha in the Homecoming game in which they literally Bear-yed the Indians. The team ended the season on a high note with a decisive win over a strong St. Anthony team. Team captain Dave Crawford was singled out by Marton as one of the finest captains he has ever had. Crawford won the Glenn-Watson Trophy for the player who has used his ability to the utmost. Senior running back Louie McKee was voted by the team as the MVP and was also honored by all the Tri-Metro coaches by being voted outstanding back in the conference. The 1979 Varsity Football captains are Steve Sprenger and Dick Crawford. The team is confident that these two outstanding individuals will lead the team to success. Coaches Bill Marton, John Boufford and Rick Johns molded a young and inexperienced team into a potential winner. 1st row: T. Noble, M, Hilton, R. Molt, K. Aurand, P. O'Reilly, S. Countryman, P.

We'll do it once more, read the 1978 Section 8 Girls' Swimming and Diving Meet slogan. This sign illustrated one of the goals that swimmers and divers aimed for and achieved for the second time in the history of The Blake Schools. Enduring the longest season filled with secret fish, wet hair, red eyes, worn out bods, and pool humor, the girls worked hard from August 21st until December 1st to realize their goals. The team participated in Section VIII Finals and sent seven members to the state meet. The girls participating in State were j. Boos, H. Clarke, M. Finch, C. Nilsen, L. Swanson, R. Turnau, and L Truesdell. Under the enthusiasm, brains and braun of tri-captains H. Clarke, R. Turnau, and J. Boos, each swimmer endured 172 miles of chlorination coached by Corky Ma Duck Carl. The girls' diving team faced a challenging year dealing with a new coach, two new divers, and increasingly difficult competition throughout the state. Craig Robinson, alias Joe Conservative, helped the team along by his great coaching, optimistic attitude, and sense of humor. First row: I. Truesdell, C. Nilsen, R. Turnau — co.-capt., S. Kohler, K.

With thirteen returning let-termen and talented rookies the soccer team hoped for a strong season. The unity of the team and the dedication of each member of the team made the season a successful one in spite of the frustrating win-loss record. The Varsity Soccer team was special not only because of the talent it possessed, but also because of the friendships that developed and will never be forgotten. Mr. Seel, a coach who truly loves the game as well as his players, helped them mature as players and as individuals. Kevin Spencer and Tom Hatch were effective as co-captains because in addition to being teammates, they are also close friends. Their friendship was evident at the soccer banquet when they wore the same dress pants. (Thanks, Haggar!) Although the team was a strong one, some individuals achieved a special level of excellence. Voted all conference by the coaches in the conference were Tom Hatch and Dave Smith; they were also voted most valuable players by their teammates. Kevin Spencer received honorable mention.

BUMP. . .SET. . .SPIKE. . .ALL RIGHT! 70 — Varsity Volleyball With determination and spirit, the 1978 Volleyball Team began its season. Young and inexperienced, the beginning of the season was a time for the team to learn to play with each other and against skilled opposition. Led by senior captain Nancy Owens, the girls put in 100% effort at all times and by the end of the season were providing difficult opposition for the other teams in the conference. The spirit and unification of the team was phenomenal. Lima Beans kept everyone laughing and the cake ingredient speeches by captain Nancy Owens attempted to provide the girls with determination to win. Jane McAnnany, a coach as well as a friend to all the girls, helped to motivate the team before, during, and after the game. Although the team's lucky cheer, Bump, Set, Spike, All Right! did not give the team a highly successful season, the members felt that they accomplished a lot. They learned to play together as teammates and to live together as friends. Nancy Owens was voted All-Conference by the Tri-Metro coaches for this season and Jenny Hagen and Kathy Myers were honored with All-Conference Honorable-mention. First row: J. McAnnany — coach, R.

The nine-member boys' team began their practices in the heat of August, dreaming of winning the conference championship on October 12. The powerful boys' team realized their dream with an overwhelming conference victory. Senior Dave Dow-nie and Sophomore Bill Baker earned All-Conference honors for the season. Although they were not officially a team, the Girls' Cross Country runners worked and thought as one. Gail Erns-berger led the pack winning the conference championship and earned sixth place in the state meet.

All girls who participated in cheerleading felt that this goal was achieved. The fall squad, co-captained by Lee Brennan and Martha Sundberg, was a very close group. By the end of the season the girls had also formed close alliances with the teams they cheered for, most notably the football and soccer teams. Their appreciation for each other was expressed at the respective football and soccer banquets when the cheerleaders received roses from both teams. I he girls, in their turn, gave the senior football players flowers and the soccer team an autographed soccer ball. The hockey cheerleaders, captained by Nancy Owens, had a great season. All the girls were motivated to drive the crowds wild and to try new and exciting cheers. Cheerleading on ice is rather tricky as many of the rookies soon found out. They were often seen flying over the ice only to land sprawled out in front of a laughing crowd. The team appreciated the cheerleaders' enthusiasm. The basketball cheerleaders' season was an interesting one for the girls. The group worked together from the start to make the season fun for everyone involved. Headed by captain Ceci Beach, the girls did everything from hopping around mats to creating new and different cheers, to getting lost two hours on the way to a game. The season ended on a nice note when the girls received valentine carnations from the Boys' Basketball Team. The cheerleading program at Blake has indeed risen in quality and respectability since the merger in 1972. first row: C. Smith. I Thorpe. I. Brennan — co-capt., M Sundtserg — co-capt., J. Turner.

Throughout the 1978-79 season both the Girls' and the Boys' squads were ranked in the top ten. Both teams participated in the Hastings-Welch Village Invitational and the Grand Rapids-Sugar Hills Invitational. The Boys' squad placed first in slalom and second in giant slalom. The Girls' squad finished first in giant slalom and second in slalom at the Hastings-Welch Village Invitational where they were awarded the overall trophy for their outstanding finishes. Prior to the state meet at Welch Village both teams were rated first by the Minnesota State Ski Coaches' Association. Bruce Yonehi-ro's first run placed him 1.5 seconds ahead of any other competitor. Unfortunately he fell in his second run. Nevertheless, the Boys' squad placed fifth. Ted Thiss tied for first and John Crosby placed fifteenth.

Although the team was young and was not expected to perform up to the level of other years, they surprised their coaches, Rob Ellett and Craig Robinson, by winning more dual meets than ever before. A lot of ninth graders joined the team bringing the depth that allowed them to win. Because some practices tended to be hard and rather boring, the swim team was renowned for its craziness. Bizarre nicknames such as Devo, Bubble, Bobber, Cho-gie. Chopper, Gamy, Waldo, and Sharko were examples of their crazy fun. Although the team was rowdy, they worked hard. It was this work that brought closeness and unity to the team. With the leadership of co-captains Rick Anderson and Mike Noble and the coaching of Craig Robinson and Rob Ellett, known for his Duke Technique, the divers and swimmers improved a great deal. The team entered the state meet with high hopes. First row: M. Wmikoff. J. levy, |. Carl. D. Gamson, M Schoeller, A (arson, | Winchester Second row: R Turnau — mgr., M. Giltleman, I Bishop, I Owens.

Champion • Boys' Swimming — 81 HIGH HOPES BEGIN SEASON The 1978-1979 Boys' Basketball season was a disappointing one for the team members and their coach Lee Mesna, who had such high hopes at the start of the season. Plagued by an early season injury to captain Dave Downie and the transfer of co-captain Steve Pullens, the team never really got on a winning track. Standout center Daren Blo-omquist, a junior, added a bright spot to the season. Named MVP by his teammates, Bloomquist was the leading rebounder and third in scoring in the Tri-Metro Conference.

The long line of victories was impressive as the team outskated Bloomington Jefferson, S.P.A., and thrilled a jam-packed Blake Arena in a J-2 over-time victory over Mahtomedi to move the Bears into first place in the Tri-Metro Conference. The team, coached by Rod Anderson and Chuck Ritchie and led by senior tri-captains Derek Malmquist, David Crawford, Tom Hatch, and senior veteran Louie McKee, developed the kind of enthusiasm which is so important in uniting a team. Intense workouts set the pace for the games as Blake simply outskated and outpassed many of their opponents. The pride and unity the players felt were evident as these factors contributed to a highly successful season. First row: T. Baxter — rngr„ D. Smith. I). Malmquist — rapt., I. Hatch — capt., D.

Mr. Marton, better known as Mr. Bill, Mr. Bill, turned out to be an excellent as well as humorous coach. Today I want you to be aggressive so well scrimmage the hockey team . . . SAG! . . . The game is won by rebounds and free frow'S. Many of the important game plays are still left at various schools on his improvised chalk-boards. To make things simple, he often explained plays on our terms. Okay, let's run an angel cut-through with a Bosley. Hold the pox. If all else fails, SAG! Come on, woman, dwibbo the ball! Pre-game cheers such as Fire up, Nug-gies, and Let's play, team led the girls to an overwhelming victory over Mahtomedi. Overall, the team had an abundance of breaks: fast breaks, ankle breaks, finger breaks, bus breaks, water breaks, disco breaks, clipboard breaks, and a record breaking season. First row: |.

Traditionally the Girls Gymnastics Team has been a close-knit group of individual competitors; this year this fact was more evident than ever before. The devotion that each gymnast manifested towards her teammates created a w'arm atmosphere of 100% team support and spirit. The constant tunes of E.W.F. kept the team going, providing psychological support and spirited practices. But behind these crazy, giggling, lackadaisical looking females, there lies in each girl, the fierce determination and potential to be a great gymnast. Endure the pain; gain the glory. 90 —Gymnastics First row: K. Lundeen — mgr. Second row: M. Aronowitz, A Taft, C. Smith, A, MacMillan.). Matzen, S. Horn, A. Gillette, M. Goodale, L. Truesdcll, A.

OF A FACULTY MEMBER The teachers at Blake have many other duties besides teaching classes. Some of these responsibilities are unwanted, and many are both unwanted and unavoidable. Here are some of these trying circumstances. A typical Friday: The Blake teacher arrives in the faculty parking lot each morning and attempts to cross the lot to enter the school. This is not an easy task. The upper lot happens to be the pipeline to the lower lot for students who are known to drive very fast. Many teachers have only narrowly escaped with their lives. The initial duty for most of the teachers each morning is to supervise a homeroom, i.e., take attendance and read announcements. Taking attendance is a duty that often tests a teacher's patience. Students sneak in the door to avoid being marked tardy, and if caught, which is usually the case, will beg the teacher to erase the little T on the attendance list from beside their name. While reading announcements teachers have to cope with yawning, sleeping and general inattentiveness. Since Friday is assembly day, the faculty member must try to herd the students down to the auditorium. Many students tend to find their way off the beaten path and have been known to hide under desks and in closets to avoid being seen by teachers who have the duly of finding these rebellious persons. A teacher must unwillingly cope with noise in the hall for most of the day, especially if he has a room near the third floor . lounge or on the first floor in the “junior wing. The only faculty member that doesn't have a noise problem is Mr. Marton; he talks louder than the noise in the hall ever amounts to anyway. First lunch at 10:55 A.M. is an event which most faculty members probably prefer to avoid. The teacher is usually assigned the task of trying to keep all the students out of the lunchroom before the cook rings the bell which is like trying to stop a stampede. Approximately 50% of the student body eats first lunch, and that includes everything from boisterous freshmen to seniors. The teachers are understandably averse to eating with students who appear never to have learned how to consume food properly. It isn't always appetizing, and the teachers have been known to try desperately to talk the cooks into letting them have their own table, even if the other tables aren't filled. There are other smaller problems the teacher confronts during the day which are deemed circumstances adverse to teaching” by the faculty members. Sometimes teachers want the use of the A.V. room for their class — but when they arrive, they find it occupied by another class. In furor and confusion, the teachers of these classes check the calendar and the late arriving teacher finds he signed up on the wrong day. Class plans are destroyed and the teacher must start from scratch with the impatient students after trooping back to their proper classroom. At other times, the teacher may want to use- the xerox machine to make copies of sheets to provide handouts for the students. He gets all ready to make the copies when lo and behold! There is another teacher at the machine, or a trespassing student. Faculty members hate study halls as much as the students do. It's no fun for the teachers to sit in that room, spending their valuable free time, with the duty of keeping the kids quiet and in their seats. Since the students don't want to be there any more than the teacher, both factions are irritable and hard to please. Therefore it's the low point of the school day for all. At the end of the day, most faculty members feel that a cuppa coffee or a mug of tea is in order. They drag themselves down to the lunchroom excited for a sip of hot liquid only to find that the students have stolen all the tea bags and drunk all the coffee, even though the lunchroom liquids are supposedly off limits to them. Finally the bell rings and the teacher must again attempt to re-cross the parking lot avoiding the wild and crazy guys and girls coming from down below in speeding vehicles. The students are driving faster now than in the morning, in their eagerness to get away from the school. Finally reaching the car after almost being run over, the faculty member puts the key into the ignition and the car won't start. . .

I he freshman class is still hassled for being the youngest in the school. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors still feel they have to keep freshmen in their place. I he shock from being the oldest in Middle School to being the youngest in Upper S hool is diffic ult to deal with. Ninth graders not only have to cope with the other students in the school, hut also have to adjust to new academic standards. Longer homework assignments and higher expectations from teachers are all part of the fun. Adjusting to free time is a problem this year just as it has been in other years. Other aspects of the freshman class, however, have changed. This year there are many more students who participate in extra-curricular activities. There are several freshmen who participate on varsity and junior varsity sports teams.

The class of 1981 is unique, yet at the same time similar to sophomore classes of the past. The tenth graders have experienced the teachers' highest expectations. They have suffered through a whole year of American Culture and Geometry. They are a close class. This unity is seen when they all sit together in the auditorium, when they congregate in the third floor lounge, and when they all try to sit together at lunch. Most sophomores eat first lunch. They all try to sit at one table, but since this feat is impossible, they are forced to pull up chairs. The sophomores are also an accepting class. New students like Antonio Lainez were treated with consideration. Becoming a sophomore can be equated with getting one's license. Because they can now drive, sophomores are now attending more school activities like sports events. This new involvement has made them seem more like a part of the school. They are rowdy, but they are serious when it comes to academics. The sophomore class adds a special quality to our school.

A hangout is a plate where a member of a particular class can go and know that other members of his her class will be there also. It's a place of congregation, like the corner drugstore is in movies. Ihe luniors, having been in the Upper School the longest, have firmly established a hangout for themselves. On any given day, at any given time, a student can walk into the lobby and see at least ten juniors talking, warming themselves by Ihe fire, or just staring at the passerby. Charlie and Dana are established residents of the area. Ihe juniors picked the ideal location for a hangout. They can be the first down to lunch, catch all friends in passing and get first crack at all the bake sales. Ihe area, however, has its disadvantages. Ihe juniors run the risk of getting choked by Ihe smoke emitting from Ihe fireplace, being yelled at by teachers who claim they hear Ihe noise in the lobby from their classrooms, and catching cold from the drafts under the door. Other classes have tried to establish themselves in the lobby too, but Ihe juniors are firmly entrenched. Ihe sophomores seem to be as equally established in a hangout of their own. They were all ecstatic when they discovered the third floor lounge had been redone this year because it made for a more pleasant place for the class to con-gregale. Having established this area as their hangout when they were freshmen, they have had to try to hold down Ihe noise level to below two decibels due to the proximity of classrooms. The sophomores crowd around the tables studying diligently (?) and line up along the wooden ledges if there are no chairs. They have the pipeline to the pop machine because it is a part of the lounge area. It's almost an intimidating experience for non-sophomores to walk through the lounge, and all the student body knows that Ihe area is for tenth graders only! Since Ihe freshmen have only just entered Ihe Upper School, a definite hangout has not been established yet. There is some worry among Ihe members of Ihe junior class because the freshmen seem to be gravitating toward the lobby. They are always seen warming their posteriors, sitting on the heated benches by the door. freshmen also seem to be in the halls a lot. They study and talk in front of classrooms and their lockers, much to Ihe consternation of the teachers. Perhaps this is because their hangout has not been established yet, and they are undecided about where to go. One can be sure, however, that within a few months the no-hangout situation will be remedied, and Ihe freshmen will have bought their own piece of the Blake Schools. 124 — Hangouts Hangouts — 125 Senior Section DOROTHY DeHART ADAMS Dedra, Deedz ...

Success makes you look up, and the sun dazzles you; failure forces you to look down and mind your step. The man who can fail and learn, who can try and fall and get up and go on, who can make a new start and be defeated and still go on, is the man who succeeds in the end. The failures are the men who succeed too early and too easily, or the men who fail and let it bowl them over. H.H. May we never abandon our memories. May our memories inspire deeds which lead us to life and love, to blessings and peace. JAMES CLIFTON GOOLEY Jim . . . Jimbo . . . Gouls . . .

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. Love gives naught but itself and takes not but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. Kahlil Gibran I wondered why somebody didn't do something When I suddenly realized that I was somebody. We part with sorrow not. Satisfied with the knowledge that each will find what each needs.

Fine work you've made of it, my sons, between you all tonight. O long shall be the furrows ploughed upon the hearts of men, before it comes to stable or to manger once again. Now all the world.

BRUCE LANE YONEHIRO An old Indian saying: May you be strengthened by yesterday's rain, walk straight in tomorrow's wind, and cherish each moment of the sun today. Yonehiro— 171 ABOUT THE BOOK: This edition of Reflections has attempted to present the growth and change that has occurred at The Blake Schools during this school year. Change , has also been a part of Reflections. Beginning the year with high hopes, the staff decided to have color pictures in the introduction. Creativity continued with the feature stories that provided fuller coverage of school life. The history section recorded the changes from the beginning until this year, the fifth year anniversary. Art was used when pictures and copy could not effectively convey our ideas. (Or when photographers or copy editors were unmotivated.) Although captions were omitted, longer copy described in more detail the significant events of 1979. The Reflections staff is proud of the unique book it has produced. It took many long hours and a lot of love, care, and dedication. We hope that you will enjoy all of it. SPECIAL THANKS — TO. . .

Students learn not only about subjects such as English and math, but also about themselves as individuals. Friendships develop, values become apparent, and goals for the future are set. As individuals grow, they add special qualities to the atmosphere that surrounds them. This yearbook staff hopes they have presented the most significant qualities of the atmosphere that emanated from The Blake Schools this year. 176 —Conclusion
