For the past thirty-four years, Elizabeth Bryan’s support for and devotion to the Blake Schools has been invaluable. She began her involvement with the school as a tutor at Northrop Collegiate School in 1945. From 1946 until 1950, she worked as a psychometrist. Then, in 1950. she was appointed to the position of Director of the Lower School. Mrs. Bryan held this position until the merger in 1974. Since 1974, Mrs. Bryan has been an administrator in Student Services. Her job there has entailed a variety of projects ranging from doing research work for Mr. Hersey to creating and maintaining the school's entire new filing system. One of her primar r responsibilities is the administration of the Standard Testing Program for the entire school, grades k-12. This entails ordering and distributing these tests and eventually analyzing their results. In addition to this, she is the coordinator of the College Board Testing Center at the Blake Schools. Mrs. Bryan plays a more visible role in the life of a Blake student than that of her behind-the-scenes work. Her creative bulletin boards never fail to attract the attention of the students and often require student participation. Mrs. Bryan’s involvement extends far beyond the Blake community. She is a member of the Girl Scout Board of Directors ... which explains the large supply of cookies in students' lockers. Beyond this, mountain climbing, hiking, and folk dancing are just a few of Mrs. Bryan's wide variety of talents and interests. Whatever she involves herself in, one can be sure that she will put her heart into it and do her very best. We thank you for the wealth of information you have at your fingertips, your calm reassurances when we are desperate for help on our SAT forms, and the delicious cookies. And even more importantly, we thank you for the warmth and support which you make available to every member of the Blake community. 3 Trustees’ Decision Final: We’re ... In November of 1978, after a long series of heated debates, the Board of Trustees voted that the Upper School would remain at the Northrop Campus indefinitely. Plans for enlargement of the Hopkins Campus to include the Upper School have been abandoned. Russell Bennett, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, in his annual report for 1978-79 said, “This decision was prompted by the need for a larger endowment, and the advantages of retaining a campus close to the downtown area.” Though the financial reasons carried more weight in the decision-making process, what students at the Upper School Campus are more aware of is Downtown Minneapolis. Since the transfer of grades 9-12 to the Northrop Campus in 1974, Blake students have taken advantage of the many opportunities that the downtown area offers. We are pleased to know that future classes are assured access to these opportunities. The proposed new school was exciting, but all of us, whether we’ve attended school at Northrop for one year or twelve, are deeply attached to the building. Nothing could have made us forget the turrets, the fireplace, the ivy or any of the other less obvious aspects of the school, such as the gargoyles and leaded windows. We’re not embarrassed by tradition: we're glad that the Northrop Campus is here to stay! Page Four: David Myers and Lucy Thorpe; Jay Malmquist.

The students’ academic and social lives have come to depend on the vitality and wealth of resources found downtown. Administration and faculty have used the school's unique location as a means to enrich the curriculum. The proximity to downtown has stimulated new courses and provided additional depth to existing studies. An ever-popular selection is Medical Biology, which, through work at the Hennepin County Medical Center, provides constant interaction with people in a downtown environment. Other courses such as Urban Studies and Minority Studies rely upon the city as a living laboratory. Field trips are used as a means of taking advantage 8 A Natural Resource Page Eight: (Clockwise from top left) Butler Square; IDS Crystal Court: Minneapolis Skyline from Northrop Building. Page Nine: Blake students in front of Dayton's: Diana Nelson in lx ring Park; Walker Art Center and the Guthrie Theater. of the downtown area. Because places like the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The Grain Exchange, and the American Swedish Institute are all within a fifteen minute walk or bus ride, trips can be frequent and easily facilitated. Imagine — a high school campus with an internationally known professional repertory company as we I as a national gallery for the display of contemporary art located just one half block away. The Northrop campus' neighbors, the Guthrie Theater and the Walker Art Center have enriched our cultural life greatly this year. The Guthrie's 1979-80 season encompassed traditional dramas such as “Romeo and Juliet, and “A Glass Menagerie as well as the more innovative selections. “Endgame and “Right of Way. The Walker will be one of the few museums in the country to exhibit the works of Pablo Picasso. This exhibit is expected to draw viewers from the entire nation. Orchestra Hall promises to be another source of excitement and enrichment as the symphony experiences its first season with the British conductor. Neville Marriner. As well as cultural and academic opportunities, downtown hosts a variety of social outlets. It is not uncommon to see a blue arid white Lincoln Del bag in the Blake halls, whether it is being carried by an elated ninth grader who has just received a gift from his senior, or a starving upperclassman who missed his breakfast in the morning rush. Juniors and seniors constantly take advantage of off-campus privileges to grab a quick lunch at a downtown restaurant. Burger King, Mac and Don's. Professor Munchies. and One Potato Two are just a few of the numerous noon hangouts of a Blakie. Within the downtown setting itself, offerings range from the bucolic to the very cosmopolitan. Students enjoy the peace and beauty of Loring and Kenwood Parks as an outdoor study hall. Minneapolis Public Library is a resource fora sophomore’s infamous American Culture research paper, or an inevitable assembly speech. Places such as the Crystal Court, Day ton's. Gucci, and Harold provide the Blake shopper with an excellent selection. It is not unusual to see package laden students arriving breathlessly at the Blake doors late for their next class after a downtown shopping spree. This opening section reflects our satisfaction with the decision to remain. Minneapolis has much to offer and we have much to gain from being a part of the downtown area. We're glad that the Northrop Campus is here to stay!

So. if you would like to know what a freshman looks like or where one can be found, your best bet is to look for them around the third floor lounge area, where, if you catch them on the right day, they are cramming for a World Culture test. The girls’ daily attire is usually clothes fresh off the racks from Maggie’s of Wayzata while the boys are prepped out in Gokey’s best. If you still don’t know who they are. most likely one or two participated on a varsity sport with you. Freshmen arc also actively visible in Cricket C lub. Social Committee, and many more organizations. The freshmen planned a successful all-class party with almost a 100% turnout. It was held at Wagon Wheel Ranch and featured a square dance, hayride and snowball fight. Many of the freshmen did not leave empty-handed because during the course of the evening over forty door prizes were given out. It was a jam-packed year of accomplishments and Tots of good times. 35 Amy McGovern Skip Mclin Pat Mercer Mark Miller Mark Mitchell Laura Mossier Lucy Nelson Kari Nilsen Holly Noel Todd Nordby Barry Nordstrom Nnamdi Okoronkwc Alicia Powers Betsy Randolph Maria Ratliff Fazil Riaz Mia Kelly Todd Kenyon Kirsten Kmcff Lisa Kochiras Steve Krelitz Ellen Labcnski Jon Levy Barbara Licbcrman Sue Licbcrman Chip Lindgren Maggie Linvill Mike Mattox Christine Olson Cathy Owens Ingrid Pearson John Pohlad 36 reshtttenFreshmenFr Jill Skramstad Nan Smith Pam Smith Heidi Sprcngcr Dan Rosen Abby Ruben Mac Ryerse Emily Sahr Colin Schmidt Kim Schmoker Kenneth Schneider I jura Schoenwctlcr Barrie Seidenberg Laura Scllwood Andrew Silverstcin Tuula Sinks Margie Trostel Liz Wall Scott Weisberg Justin Whitlock Amy Wolfson Nancy Stillpass Julie Stoker Mari Tankenoff Paul Tiede Alison Town Icy Monte Travis-Mcllroy 37 Melissa Allen Cynthia Anderson John Bailey Brad Bclbas Deidre Bell Ann Berglund Amy Binder John Bowe John Brellenthin Scott Card James Carl Joanne Case Wade Clarke Thomas Colburn Brian Cox Stephen Cramer Laura Crosby Steve Cundy ophomoreSophomor David Engebretson Missy Everson Michelle Fernandez Scott Forbes Annie Gillette Richard Gillmer Brandt Grandy Stowe Harris Eve Dcikcl Mar ' DeLaittre Steven Diamond Eric Dise 38 Sophomore Sophomo Ricky Hartficl Martha Hartwig Laurie Heegaard Susan Horn Laura House Kathryn Humphrey Edward Hustad Brooks Johnson Sargent Johnson Finn-Olaf Jones Michael Kane Lissic Kaufman Brad Klein Michael Korcngold Tracy Kullcr Jay Larson Jeffry l.cmkc Jonathan Levy The separation of many old friends and the acquaintance of many new has added a cohesive character to this year's “sophomoric” class. Their distinctive shouts pervade the halls as they roam studiously from class to class. They arc now solely intrigued by the new freedom of their licenses, w ith college still remaining a vague reality of the future. Their buoyant spirit was illustrated by their Soph Spirit banner, their homecoming float, their new involvement in school activities, and the sophomore project. The sophomore project was designed to help class members work with each other and with minorities outside of the Blake community. Each homeroom chose a specific social service agency and developed a unique project dealing with the activities of this agency. By giving their time and their services, students gained a new knowledge of the problems faced by these minority groups. Because this class, like all others, is made up of different individuals, no one word can define the many qualities found within — but these are a few: responsible — irresponsible, resistible irresistable. dependable, stubborn, lovable, conceited, independent, modest, kind, special, witty, humorous, courageous, sensational, and friendly. The Sophomores — real lovers of life! 39 Jay Malmquist Trey Maues.cn James McFarland Murphy McKee ophomoreSophomo William Lewis Matthew Lindberg Bryan Lohmar Carolyn Lowe Mimi Mackay Chuck Mahoney Daniel Mahoney Robert Malccki Natalie Mead Mars Miley Eliza Miller Jane Myers Curt Nelson Peter Neumeier William Ogden Jessica Paul Betsy Pearce Anne Peterson Kim Proudfit Debra Rappaport David Rausch Heather Rcay Eric Rierson Sydney Rosen Smita Sane Janie Schneider 40 Marko Schoellcr Anne Sherman Peter Silverson Michael Slade Gail Smith Ted Spencer Susan Strced Amy Taft Robin Taylor Lucy Thorpe Margaret Thorpe Tadd Tuomie Chris Wagner Richard Wall David Warner Elihu Wear eSophomoreSophomo James Weiss Stacy Westly Kimberly Whitehead Benjamin Wirtschaflcr Russell Wright Grant Yonchiro Not pictured: Steve Bacon John Clark Elizabeth Simonson 41 William Baker Craig Barron Paul Beeson Nina Bishop Diana Brown Barbara Clark unto rs Juniors Ju Kimberly Cohan Susan Cohen Stephen Country man l cirdrc Dahlstrom John Abrahams Martin Abramson Kent Adams Melanie Allers Philip Ankeny Leslie Anson “Partiers. better than the best, awesome, choice, spirited, rowdy, intelligent, involved, girls most likely not to. straight, crashing senior parties, next year’s seniors.” When Blake students were asked what first came to mind when they thought of this year’s junior class, these were a few of the replies. However, the word that came up most often was “unity. Their unity is seen not only by their work in school organizations but also in their social activities. This feeling was demonstrated in everything from raising money for the Junior-Senior prom to a square dance given for the whole j unior class. This year’s juniors were involved in so many extra-curricular activities that their parents began to wonder if they still lived at home. Juniors were well represented in the plays, yearbook staff, swimming team. cross-country team. M.C.C.........the list goes on. The favorite hangout for the Juniors is the library. One can always go into the hbrary and find a group of juniors hard at work, but arc they really working??? For two years the juniors have been patiently awaiting off-campus privileges, but they just couldn't wait till second semester rolled around and at last they could go out to lunch without crouching down in the back seat of a car or worrying about the ever watchful faculty members. By giving part of themselves to the school and learning from their mistakes, the juniors have proved to themselves and the Blake Schools that they are prepared to face the responsibilities they will encounter as next year’s seniors.

The purpose of the Forum is to deal with the day-to-day problems of school life by making decisions on these issues or by making recommendations to the appropriate bodies. The 1979-80 Forum did these things and more. The Forum successfully ran an open house for new students, which included tours of the school and handouts describing the school’s committees and activities. The Forum helped in the formation of new organizations such as the Computer Club and a student food committee. It made recommendations concerning the new Blake gate, and the morning tardy procedure. It worked on projects such as the Blakc-SPA-Brcck dance in which the profits were used to help rebuild the Brcck Chapel. The Forum also added an amendment to the constitution, changed its banking techniques, wrote Spectrum articles and ran an activities assembly. This year was one of the most productive in the Forum’s history. Second Row: B. Gaston. M. Canter. J. Boufford. C. Knudson. N. Okoronkwo. R. Bohan. T. Keller. P. Ankeny. First Row: R. Bohan. D.

They began on a promising note. Debating on their topic Resolved that the US should significantly change its foreign trade policy. ' the team captured first place at their initial tournament. Long bus rides to Chicago. Worthington. Des Moines, and Watertown, South Dakota, card games with the St. Paul Twins, and betwcen-round romances were among the outstanding memories. These debaters continued to compete well in hopes that spring would bring another qualification for Nationals. First Row: M. Phillips. I). Brown. Second Row: S. C'luhh. C. Burr. (i. Dawson. D.

Thespians The 1979-80 Blake Thespian troupe began the year with seventeen members, a number which doesn’t begin to indicate the amount of participation that followed in the rest of the year. From each theatrical production came many new members. The group truly carried out the Thespian objective, “to encourage Theater Arts.” by seeing plays together, helping in school productions, inventing and carrying out creative fund raisers and finally celebrating the third annual Academy Awards Banquet. Troupe sponsor Jeanne Blake, president Diana Nelson, and Secretary Laura Ogden felt that this troupe exemplified the concept of “the ensemble that is so important in theater. Back Row: R Crawford. J.

There were many sophomores and juniors, and many were inexperienced singers, but when they joined forces with the veterans, the group sounded very good. The Clubbers, with new wool blazers and silk ties, gave impressive performances in the Talent Show, the Winter Concert, and the Spring Concert. Instead of going on tour, they decided to enter a singing contest and to give concerts in the Minneapolis Area, all of which were successful. Thanks to the leadership of the officers, the singers pulled through mid-year problems and managed to keep up the traditional standards of Blake's Glee Club. First Row: S. Diamond. S. Card. P. Hogg.

The group overcame the inconveniences of too many women, too few tenors, and humorous antics of the bass section, many new singers and long lunch hours to produce a consistent, quality sound and a close-knit group. Under the direction of Mr. Jim Ledbetter the choir performed successful concerts for unusually large audiences at the talent revue and winter concerts. The group toured the Milwaukee area in April and performed their own choreographed rendition of “Fiddler On the Roof” both on the tour and at the spring concert in May. Fir t Ron: J. Gillette. A.

Not only did the chorus increase in number, but also in talent and enthusiasm. They began the year by giving their first performance at the Talent Revue where they dazzled the audience with the choreography in Big Spender. Other highlights were Who Will Buy from the musical Oliver and the “Home For the Holidays medley at the winter concert. The Women's Chorus also made appearances in the community at the IDS Crystal Court and various nursing homes. In addition to hard work that was consistent through the year and the fine leadership of Director Jim Ledbetter and accompanist Julie Lysnc. the Women's Chorus had an excellent full year of success, fun and enthusiasm. It was a year that they could be proud of. FirM R«m: J. I .cd bet ter. C. Anderson. M. Everson. M. Miley. S. Sane. M. Hartwig. P. Baxter. VI Memkhcim. O. Canton. L Thorpe. M. Tankenoff. A. I.undhlad.

All That Jazz went from rags to riches. With only five returning members and the addition of seven new girls, they knew that they had a lot of work ahead of them. But with the 7:00 a.m. practices becoming nearly every morning occurrences, how could they help but improve and become closer? By their first performance at the Talent Revue, where they sang “New York. New York” and “Swinging on a Star. they knew that their hard work had paid off. Other fine performances were given at the Courage Center and the IDS Crystal Court and in the winter concert and the spring concert. C. Anderson. A. l.undblad. L. Swcndsccn. I.. Cloutier. A. Johnson.

This year’s large group was headed by the brother-sister team of Curt and Diana Nelson. Enthusiastic members from every class worked hard to produce the dances, which were lively and well-received. The Homecoming dance was one of the greatest successes, thanks to the band. Fragile, and the high-spirited dancers. Only the Social Committee knew of the last-minute problems. Chaperones weren't called until dinner that night. The decorations committee probably popped more balloons than they put on the walls. The refreshments committee seemed to eat more than they sold.

After two weeks of hand-picking the team from their answers to quick responds of questions. (When was the Spanish Armada defeated? Who wrote Beau Gesie? What is the chemical symbol for uranium? What was the bird-girl’s name in Green Mansions?) and twfo more weeks of practice buzzing, the season was ended in twenty minutes of questions. The group was seen on television, and were sent Roy Finden’s photograph and autograph. 59 M. Gasiorowitz. M. Miller. M. Phillips. M. Cowles. N. Slade. C. Knudson. M. Quainiancc. Flash Flash, formerly known as Mahnomen (formerly known as Flash) is back! Flash is the Blake School’s litcrary arts magazine. Unlike other years' magazines each of this year’s three editions had a different theme (e.g.. “Green’’) upon which artists could base their work. The connotations of each theme name were different enough for artists to allow diversity in the magazine, but also gave a feeling of unity to each edition. More than a whole quarter of time was put into each issue, so Flash proved to be a great opportunity for rewarding accomplishments and a representation of hard work and creativity in the Blake Schools. International Club The specialty of the 79-80 International Club was internationally-flavored parties that brought students together. This year. . however, there were some new twists. The usual general parties, with smorgasbords of foods from all over, were held at the homes of presidents Joni Wong and Mary Quaintance. but members were also given the chance to explore their individual international interests by giving a ’’theme’’ party of their own. Students of English origin gave tea parties, borscht was served at Russian homes, and so it went throughout the year. The club also attended foreign films. The newest addition to the club’s activities was the giving of parties for Minneapolis visitors or residents who were from other countries. Advisors Kay Solon and Nelly Blackburn constantly contributed fresh ideas to the group so that the International Club learned a lot while they had a lot of fun. 1st Row: A. Johnson. L. Hammond. L.

The Club’s future is dependent upon increased participation and more visibility. 62 M. Phillips. P. Hogg. B. Bart. Minneapolis Cricket Club First played by English shepherds of the early sixteenth century, the game of cricket has now reached the Blake Schools through the Minneapolis Cricket Club. Aside from playing cricket, the club's purpose is to broaden the possibilities for other student activities. The club spent the year organizing fund raisers and then gave the proceeds to clubs that seemed to need more money for their causes. They also gave to the Phyllis Wheatley Foundation. The future of the young (no pre-Peacock dates have been found) M.C.C. is unknown. The group kept a low profile even during its most significant activities — who knew that the famous “kissing elves” started at the M.C.C.? The spirit and energy that each member contributes will determine the club's success. 1st Row: J. Case. A. Gillette. R. I'ccht. I). Rappaporl. M. Milev. M. Gasiorowicz. Is. Baxter. F.. Sahr.

The evenings weren't the only hectic times for the Reflections team. Saturday mornings were often spent on the yearbook, and there were some interesting photo sessions in Loring Park and downtown on days off from school. When deadline time was really near (i.e.. when it had passed less than a week before), devoted Reflectioners worked before, during and after classes to type up forty pages in a few hours. To top it off. this frantic work was often on problems no one complete!) understood. In other words, it wasn’t easy. The seminars attended by three editors helped. No matter how dizzy this group seemed, enough common sense and hard work was mustered to pull everything together. And. work was more evenly divided this year, with new responsibility given to section editors. Advisor Marlys Johnson encouraged the staff beyond words by keeping a straight face through most of the proceedings. What finally pulled the group through though, was the excitement of creating something as permanent as a yearbook. 1st Row: J. Martineau. ( Klein. M.Quaintance. M. Aronowilz. L. Smith. L. Stuart. C.

The team was led by twelve returning senior letterman and supplemented by a strong group of juniors and sophomores. The season began on a fair note as the squad split its first two games. The first win was over long-time rival S.P.A. with a score of 14-0. Although the team lost its first two conference games, they came back to win three consecutive ones, including a homecoming victory. The team ended the season with a loss to coherence power St. Anthony, but was rewarded overall by the most victorious season in three years. Team pride and morale remained at a high level throughout the season in spite of many injured players including quarterback and co-capt. Steve Sprenger. Individual performance was noteworthy as well. Seniors John Randolph and Dave Myers were named All-Conference, while Jim Duncan, Charlie Briggs, and Dick Crawford were given honorable mention. This team's hard work and desire to win exemplified the aspirations which coach Marlon instilled into his teams. Coach Marion has decided to retire after 25 years of coaching, and he can look back at his last season as a fine one. 1st Row: B. Klein mgr.. M. Korcngold. T. Tuomic. B. Johnson. S. Forbes. P.

You got it... down and ready to block ... cover... get to the ball... lift with your knees... stay down ... face your target ... Nice way to play it! The familiar shouts of players supporting each other, working together, and giving instructions were heard in the gym everyday as the volleyball team worked out. The team members worked diligently at perfecting their passes, strengthening their spikes, and improving their sets. Together they worked on team strategy and positioning. Each individual player displayed extreme enthusiasm and talent. The effort, put forth by all to work successfully as a team unit has led this year’s Blake Volleyball team into its most successful season in history. The season openers showed the strength and enthusiasm of this year’s team and led them on to the second round of the regional tournament, the farthest the Blake team has ever gone. 72 IM Row: S.

With only nine returning lettermen. and eleven positions to fill, the team was very inexperienced. There were no outstanding players: therefore the team had to play as a unit to be successful. During the first part of the season the team didn't play consistently until scored upon, so they were always working to catch up. As the season progressed, the team started to perfect their skills, move the ball well, and dominate play. This year's conference record. 4-6-2. does not exemplify the real outcome of the season. Because of the team’s fine defensive work, their opponents never dominated play. No matter how far behind, the team never gave up. always staying in the game until the final whistle. 75 Tennis Team “Courts” Success Girls' Varsity Tennis kept the Tri-Metro conference trophy in the trophy case by winning the championship for the fifth year in a row. Golden Valley, a surprisingly strong team, cave them quite a struggle, but Blake finally beat them 5-0. placing 6 out of the 7 players involved to All-Conference standing. A four day clinic at the beginning of the season stressed the importance of turning summer take it easy” tennis into a winning oriented game. This helped to maintain a positive attitude among the girls. The Blake team united at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud to continue on to win the Region 5 championship, beating St. Cloud Cathedral 5-0. The season ended successfully when they received 3rd in the Class A State Tournament. The close relationship among the girls helped them achieve such a successful season. Ki Row: J. Silvcrson. C.

After six conference and three invitational meets, the high-spirited harriers reached their seasonal goal by winning conference October 11. Junior captain Bill Baker and sophomore John Bailey earned All-Conference honors. From there the team went on to finish third in Districts and fifth in Regions. All of this year’s team will be returning, so next year they should prove to be even more successful. The girls’ team did not have the quantity of runners to score in meets but Jocey Hale and Jackie Gayle both did very well individually. Cross Country Proves Awesome 78 1st Row: P. Hogg. M. Winnikoff.

The girls placed first or second in 9 out of 11 events and sent nine members to the state meet: three of the nine were divers. The diving team continually racked up points for the team which were often needed to clinch close meets. Our faithful managers helped the team through the hard work-outs with scrumptious munchables and lots of encouragement. One has to be a swimmer to understand the humor found in hairy leg contests, shampoo swapping, shaving cream fights and royal munch-outs.

The team was made up of many athletes who were unfamiliar with the Blake hockey program. What the players lacked in experience they made up for with determination and hustle. The club got off to a fast start by blitzing White Bear Mariner in a 4-3 overtime spectacle. Coaches Rod Anderson and Stan Ringer led the team through many rigorous workouts, developing the fundamentals which are so necessary to winning hockey teams. The swift skating Bears reeled off 10 consecutive victories before dropping a pair to conference foes Marshall-U and St. Anthony. The icemen had to overcome many obstacles, however, their hard work reaped many benefits. 86 mtfm 1st Row: S. Krogness. J. McLaughlin. S. Sanford. C. Bnggs — Tn-capt.. D. Crawford — Tri-capt.. C.

This year’s team leaped up to a remarkable ninth place in the state rankings, their highest ranking ever. Thanks to injuries, the infamous measles quarantine, and other problems, the team wasn’t always at full strength, but even when as few as five team members showed up. they managed to win their meet (after asking their team manager to join the fun). The team had its little quirks — who else could care about Star Wars and green M M’s so much — but their enthusiasm and support for each other helped them fulfill their great potential. 88 89 ,st Row: L.

Boys The Johnson Brothers’ ’79-’80 basketball team began the season with lots of experience and some high hopes. The team had potential, but never quite reached the heights they had hoped for. However, for the first time in a number of years, the team had a winning record, the result of lots of hard work and a strong desire to win. The unique thing about this year’s team was that it had no superstars; only a strong sense of team unity allowed it to win. The team dinners before the games and the rookie-of-the-year award were two examples of the experiences that helped build team spirit. The Herman weekend was also a good experience and gave team members an opportunity to meet other people. Slam-Dunk Opponents 1st Row: T. Keller. E. Disc. S. Sprenger — lii-capt.. J.

With six rookies and seven “old timers.” there was never a dull moment (excluding some of those lengthy chalk-talks). From the beginning, the team referred to themselves as “the Mr. Bill Show.” Mr. Marton kept them on their toes with cries of. “Jenny, are you listening? Weak side!” and Cals. Heidi! and “Use your imagination, Les; pretend you’re energetic. Practices were sometimes confusing (“Is green offense or defense?” Who?!?”), but Mr. Bill got his point across ( I can’t tell you when ...”) Dedicating several games to injured players (two captains in one game?), gentle corrections from the bench and cheers of “Eeza peeza” led us to many overwhelming victories, and to too many dreaded almosts. Overall, the girls astounded the fans (yes, FANS!) by playing some awesome ball. 92 1st Row: L. Ogden, D. Dahlsirom. A. Gustafson. H. Sprengcr. S. Kohler. B. Randolph. 2nd Row: S. Miller. J. Hagen.

By mid-January, Dan's favorite expression, “I promise this is the last day of dryland.” was getting pretty old to this year’s cross country skiers, but the team stuck with it and earned second place in their regional meet, sending the whole enthusiastic group to state. The Blake Outing Club, which they sometimes called themselves, often wondered what weekends in Minneapolis were like; on the other hand, they were able to see sunrises at Laura Crosby’s cabin and became Tobie’s regulars. Big moments included their boycott of the Telemark waxing demos. Cries of “Remind me that I hate this!” became familiar, and some team members felt they learned more about running, soccer, and skating than about skiing, but when February rolled around, no one could say that the season hadn’t been an extremely rewarding one for all concerned. 1st Row: K.

However, the team decided to push for the limits with great enthusiasm and determination. The season was off to a tough start when the team learned that the snow that fell during dryland was all the snow they were going to get until the end of January. Who would think a meet would have to be cancelled because there wasn't enough snow in Minnesota! Despite the ski conditions, the team still placed well in the major ski events. The boys' team won over-all at the Grand Rapids Invitational. At the Hastings Invitational, the girls’ team placed second in slalom and the boys’ team placed second in giant slalom. At the Section Five ski competition, Blake dominated the race by sending both the boys’ and girls’ teams to state. The state meet resulted in both disappointment and glory. Unfortunately, not enough boys finished the race to score very well, and the team placed sixth. However, the girls almost regained their title as state champions, finishing in second place. They were out to prove that, “We’ve done it before; we can do it again!” First Row; B. Pearce. N. Bishop. A. Goan — capt.. F. Cowles — capt.. J. Crosby. P. Ankeny. C. Wallace. Second Row; C. Lowe. M.

Coached by Duke’s own Rob “L” Ellett and his infamous side kick Craig Robinson, the swim team reached many impressive goals — winning 75% of their dual meets: breaking pool, team, and region records: winning the Region 8 Championships for the third consecutive year: qualifying eight swimmers for the State Meet: and most importantly, becoming a strong and closely knit team. One of the high points of the year was when the relay team of Abrams. Owens, Carl, and Schilling smashed the 200 Medley Relay pool record held by De La Salle. Breaking this record, which was one of the oldest records on the board at Blake, added to the fact that this year’s swim club was one of the best in Blake's swimming history. First Row: J.

The school was caught up in a flurry of activities including not only the traditional athletic games but also a beard growing contest and arm wrestling matches. Student enthusiasm was reflected by apparel also. The ever-popular clash day and opposite sex day produced outfits which were more outrageous than any the Blake halls had ever seen before. Instead of the usual Blake preppies, hippies and flower children dressed in leather, beads, and go-go boots filled the lobby on sixties day. Thursday night’s bonfire ignited the spirit of students and faculty. The entertainment that evening included skits ranging from the problems of “The Frosh” to the senior’s version of the life of “Seymour the Senior’’ (a rebuttal to the faculty’s senior weekend presentation). The climax of the evening was. of course, the announcement of the 1979 royalty. King John Crosby and Queen Amy Johnson presided over a court consisting of seniors Warner Ide and Joanne Matzen. Juniors Bill Baker and Laurie Swanson, sophomores Rick Hartfiel and Missy Everson, and freshmen Happy Cloutier and Mia Kelly. The evening was a truly “glowing event.

The dance a hit as always. 105 The high-spirits aroused at Friday’s football victory carried over to the dance that night. The featured band. Fragile, played a broad variety of tunes as the Blake students danced their way to the close of an exiciting and spirited Homecoming week. This year’s homecoming sports were successful not only because of the number of victories, but because of those thrilling moments which make participation and spectatorship exciting. Were you there when Nick Cronin shot in the first goal? When Bill Baker broke the tape at the half-time cross-country meet? When the volleyball team received the best fan support they had ever had? When John Randolph scored the touchdown which led to victory? When the football field was filled with balloons and floats for the half-time parade? When the swimming team sank the Viking's ship? If not. you missed the 1979 sports spectacular. 4 106 Blake Embarrasses Vikings Page 106: I. Joanne Matzcn is skeptical and Warner Ide is keyed 2. Crowd smiles upon victorious football team 3.

For the weekend of November second, third, and fourth, the cast presented audiences with intense drama ranging from tender love scenes to blood chilling murders. Anderson's language, beautiful poetic prose, was • contrasted with the misery of his 1930’s depression era setting. Since the play is in part based on the Sacco-Vanzetti case as well as many aspects of city-life in the 1930's, director Jeanne Blake and student director Mary Quaintance spent a large amount of time helping the cast understand the pressures of dailylife at that time. From that work, as well as from many on-stage hours, emerged a variety of believable characterizations. An intricate plot web was created as the paths of the characters involved in a ten-year old murder and its trail crossed. The ensuing confrontations involved threatened gangsters Trock (Kent Adams) and Shadow (Bill Baker), a senile judge (Jordan House), and two young lovers Miriamne (Diana Nelson) and Mio (Forrest Burke) to name a few of the characters. The success of this show was not the glittery fantasy-like escapism provided by some productions, but rather the frightening reality which was re-created on the stage. A combination of complex revolving sets, dedicated actors and inspirational directing made this a memorable production for those involved both on and off stage. I. Garth tries to keep Mio from the truth about the robbery. 2. “And so I said maybe, and now he wrants to marry me! I. Trock sends his hit man after Shadow. 2.

The afternoon’s festivities began with the freshmen gobbling up the tasty surprises (“Will she buy original recipe or extra crispy?’’) that the seniors brought. A cake, presented to the nines to wish them luck in the upcoming year, was appreciated very much — and very quickly. After having satisfied their hunger, everyone was rarin’ to go for three exciting games of Capture the Flag. The nines capped the day by demolishing the seniors in the last game. Other high points of the party included tackle football, leaf fights, and tangles with a ferocious dog. I. Everybody joins in tackle football. 2. Finger lickin' freshman. 3. Everybody joins in. 4. A.

The purpose of the show was to make money for the three choral groups to use in paying for tours, overnights, parties, a lighting coordinator, music, and other various needs. The program consisted of a wide variety of musical selections, ranging from sentimental to hilarious and some very good comedy acts. Besides the performances of Women's Chorus. Men's Glee Club, and Concert Choir, some other musical highlights were “I Enjoy Being a Girl. sung by a group of senior girls and a collection of songs performed by some freshman girls. Mixed Company, a new group composed of eight seniors from the Concert Choir, made an excellent debut with their rendition of Cherish. Two outstanding comedy acts were the two jugglers. Brian Cox and Stowe Harris, and Brad Klein with People on the Street. Despite some production difficulties, the students were able to pull off a very successful show. They made the money they needed, and Mr. Ledbetter and the performers were very pleased with the whole performance. 1. K. Cohan. A. Leavenworth.S. Sane. A. I.undblad. and L.

Ill Valentine’s Day Festivities Day-to-day life at Blake can be pretty special in itself, but there's one day that seems to mean a little more to the average Blakie. On Valentine’s Day this year, the halls and classrooms were brightened by students decked out in all the reds and pinks they could dig out of their closets. First thing in the morning, the lucky ones were delivered carnations by the M.C.C., some with a singing telegram provided by the Junior class. Many people exchanged valentines of their own and small gifts adding to the whole spirit of the day. The carnations also provided an opportunity to reveal hidden emotions. Blakies could choose among three different colors, each saying a message. White meant friendship: pink said, “I want to get to know you better. and red signified “true love.” pg. 112: I. N.

One of the Reflections staff s in-depth reporters followed Seymour Blakie through his daily routine, recording all of the trials and tribulations that Seymour endured. 8:15 AM.: After oversleeping (thanks to last night's homework). Seymour has valiantly skipped breakfast, but a traffic jam has made him late anyway. He stares dejectedly at the locked gate, preparing himself for the long trip to the other gate. 8:20 A.M.: Seymour finally decides, after several turns around the lot. that he must risk parking his jeep on the hill. He gathers his books and rushes inside, trying to catch the last moments of assembly. 8:30 A.M.: Mr. Seel is decidedly unimpressed with Seymour’s excuses and gives him extra tardies for not checking in. Seymour must face the new day with the threat of future study halls hanging over his head. 9:10A.M.: Mrs. Sherman erases the blackboard and Seymour’s classmates go on to other things, but Seymour has had a rough night and falls asleep at his desk. (Mrs. Sherman lets him sleep and wakes him up after he has slept through his free time.) 10:55 A.M.: The salad bar is less crowded than usual today, but Seymour still has to fight for his cottage cheese. He nearly decides to return to his table fora helping of creamed chipped beef instead. :30 A.M.: After eating some Hot Tamales from Junior Concessions. Seymour’s mind turns back to his studies. Mr. Boufford explains the problems Seymour missed on his last test. 10:55 A.M. 114 11:30 A.M. COLD BEER1 FRSSH 6:15 P.M 1:00 P.M.: Seymour avoids the temptation of sophomore gambling, giving him time for a few last preparations for his afternoon classes. 2:00 P.M.: Seymour and his classmates discuss the grammar of the English language with Mr. Pollock. Seymour is also keeping close track of the time and worrying about today’s football practice. 2:54 P.M.: Seymour is ready to head out to Blake but must wait for five more passengers to whom he promised a ride. The five new passengers will bring today’s total to an unusually low eighteen. 3:15 P.M.: Seymour has interrupted his drive for some pop to tide him over, but has. unfortunately left his passengers' snack list in the car. He will have to make a quick second trip if he is to make practice on time. 5:45 P.M.: After a rough practice Coach Marton pulls Seymour aside. He explains the plays Seymour blew today and accuses Seymour of not sleeping or eating enough to be a real football player. 6:15 P.M.: At the Dei. Seymour picks up some doughnuts for dinner. He gobbles them down in a snap, makes a quick phone call to Mom. and hurries back to school for a Spectrum meeting. 6:45 P.M.: The Spectrum meeting is underway, but one important staff member is still missing. Amy and Sydney worry while sports editor Nick Winton asks. “Where's Seymour?” Seymour does finally show up and is fortunately able to leave by midnight. 1:00 A.M.: Returning home after his seventeen-hour day. Seymour tries his hand at homework in the family study. He is not successful. 115 6:45 P.M. 1:00 A.M. North Woods or Bust Senior Weekend 1979 was a terrific success! Taking place the first weekend of school, it started the year off with a hurst of energy. The bus ride up to Camp Warren, an intrinsic part of the weekend, was filled with impromptu singing, charades. Dune's version of “Double Vision.” and caramel rolls at Toby’s. Camp Warren itself was beautiful. After helping to prepare the camp for winter through a variety of work projects, the seniors took advantage of the nice weather. They never stopped! They sailed, canoed, played tennis and rode the horses. The area where this year’s class truly distinguished itself, however, was in the dining hall. There their enthusiastic rendition of “Johnny Appleseed and table-top drumming made mealtime quite an experience. The weekend held a mixture of both serious and rowdy times. The class held vehement and insightful discussions examining and re-examining their goals for the year. Diads allowed classmates to get to know one another better on a one-to-one basis. The students’ skits revealed the creativity and talent which the senior class has been hiding all these years, while the faculty members will never be forgotten for the story of Sey mour the Senior. The square dance was missed, but the huge bonfire and late-night saunas were definitely highlights. The late nights proved to be an example of the seniors’ exceeding energy. Everyone w ill remember the wild antics of “The Sr. Firemen’s Committee. the raids (Antbbe 1. 2. and 3) that drenched people and cabins, and the announcement of the British at 4:00 in the morning. Senior weekend is a Blake tradition for which this class felt very grateful. The time spent there and the time spent beforehand in planning was invaluable. The class discovered that two intense days in the woods were vital to synthesizing past experiences. 116 Page 116: I. S. Krogness and J. Nacgelc display dramatic talent. 2.

Senior Weekend was filled with ambitious plans, including a Class Unity Committee, but as the year wore on, the wide diversity of individual interests, qualities, and viewpoints inevitably shone through. Senior leaders were at first distressed, but it gradually-dawned on all of us that we had found something more valuable than solidarity; we had become good friends. We were far from unified in purpose and attitude, but we were close in our respect and warmth for each other. And just when difference of interest threatened to break us apart, some common problem (such as college applications) or common pleasure (the end of first semester) brought us back together. pg. 120: J.

Cook. 177 178 179 CLOSING A The 1970’s was neither the happiest nor the most exciting decade, historically speaking, but it was key to all of us at Blake. While some other people may want to forget the 70's, those of us who grew up in them cannot and should not forget the decade that shaped our lives. 1970— This was in many ways a year of endings. The civil violence of the 60's had one last tragic stand with the Kent State riot. Two superstars immediately identifiable with the 60’s also had tragic endings — JanLs Joplin and Jimi Hendrix died of overdoses in 1970. Charles de Gaulle, an international figure who played a key role in several decades, died in this year. Some endings were unsuccessful — Nixon’s bombing of the Cambodia did not serve to end the war, but it did bring up a major problem — nuclear weapons. There were two memorable beginnings in this year; the Vikings lost their first of four 70's Super Bowls, and the Man Tyler Moore show began. 1971 — 71 was a year of transitions. The last ties with the 60’s were severed when the Beatles broke up after having dominated a decade of music and of culture. It was then that the sixties ended and the seventies began. Because a new election year was approaching and the war was still going full blast, the center of our country was starting to feel restless. Eighteen-year-olds were given the right to vote in 71, but relatively few young people would choose to exercise this right when the time came. The violence and painful social consciousness had taken their toll numbing people into the “Me” decade. Also in this year; Rod Carew won his first hatting title and Jane Fonda her first Oscar. 1 1972 — Terrorism, eventually almost commonplace in the seventies, suddenly became a major problem in this year. Most J day tragic was the killing of nine Israeli athletes by Palestinian guerillas at the Munich Olympics. The year, however, was full of similar tragedies —' bombings, hijackings, and kidnappings occurred world-wide. The Red Army, the Symbionesc Liberation Army, and other terrorist groups became a major force. 1972 was also the critical year of the Watergate burglary and the year of such positive events as the Dow Jones reaching a record one thousand. Mark Spitz winning seven gold medals, and the U.S. receiving two giant pandas as a gift from China. In Minneapolis, the IDS building was going up. 1973 — Even the long-awaited end of formal U.S. involve- ment in Vietnam was overshadowed by the uncovering of the Watergate break-in. The implication of the President himself in the matter brought about an unprecedented situation. While TV viewers across the country were listening to John Dean and oth- j ers testify, there was also an 18-day Israeli-Arab war. the resignation of Vice-President Agnew following charges of income tax evasion, and the death of Pablo Picasso. [ jjJL £ 1974 _ 74 is best remembered as the year when Nixon resigned, becoming the first President to do so in United States history. Ford became the first President not to have been elected to either Presidential or vice-Prcsidential status: Ford ,. v' ■ .� ' __ • pardoned Nixon. Patricia Hearst. daughter of the wealthy publisher, was kidnapped in California, and Charles Lindbergh lank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, Muhammed Ali won his first title, and the Vikings tost another Super Bowl. 1974 stands out in the Blake student’s mind as the year of the merger, the year Northrop. Blake, and Highcroft became The Blake Schools. k. J, J- • 1975 — The L.S. troops finally pulled out of Vietnam; as a THE SEVENTIES THE SEVENTIES THE SEVENT! aM n 180 LOSING A DECADE result, the whole year was bitter, and there was an outburst of gious cults that had risen in the United States in the past dec-violence across the country . Inflation and the energy crisis were adc. The death of Hubert Humphrey from terminal cancer was narts cei ) r becoming significant problems. At the new Blake Schools, stu-. dents finally started to settle in to their new way of life. 1976 — The Bicentennial year was celebrated around the country from January to December. A new and different kind of president. Jimmy Carter, was elected. Americans had Rosa-lyn, Lillian, Billy, and Amy as well as Olympic alhletes like Dorothy Hammill, movies like Rocky, to keep their minds off their problems for the time being. Also at this time, U.S. Viking Robots landed on Mars, twice. The relative apathy and unconcern that was to mark the rest of the decade had settled in. Self-books started to boom. Jogging. Perrier water, and Cuisi-werc taking the foreground in American culture. 1977— Sadat and Begin started negotiating for an end to the fighting between their countries. They shared the Nobel Peace Prile the following year. While Carter was busy getting used to the presidency, America went off in its own direction; watching movies such as Star Wars, John Travolta and Saturday ISight Fever inspired a disco craze, which affected the average Blakie only as far as his sense of humour was concerned. Woody Allen won his first Oscar with Annie Hall. Blakies. meanwhile bided their time listening to the Roiling Stones and the Who. and watching the Vikings lose yet another Super Bowl. 1978 — Some of the ’78’s events were enough to shake up even the most complacent '70’s people. Most shocking were the tragic days in Guyana, where the Reverend Jim Jones, formerly of San Francisco, led nearly a thousand people to suicide. The fact that most of the dead had drunk the poison obediently and willingly led America to newer, deeper questioning of the reli a sad occurrence, especially to Minnesotans. '78 saw a swing towards conservatism, with the approval of Proposition 13, and with the election, for the first time in years, of three Republicans as Minnesota’s governor and U.S. Senators. To Minnesotans. this year meant the retirement of Fran Tarkenton and the trade of Rod Carew to California. Bright moments of ’78 include the Double Eagle IPs transatlantic balloon voyage (the firsts the election of Pope John Paul II. and the countless toga parties inspired by National lampoon’s Animal Honsc. 1979— The closing year of the decade brought a lot of new concerns for the country. A nuclear accident in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, coinciding with the film. The China Syndrome. made most people question the effects of nuclear power. There was a renewed concern for the energy crisis which had become so severe, people began fq look for alternative sources of energy such as gasahol. solar heat and wind power. The nation worried about the problems in the Mideast, a source of much of our fuel oil. By the end of '19, students in Iran had taken 50 Americans hostage, and the Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan. With the end of the 70’s came the questions of the 80 5. Will there be a draft? A war? What will happen with the energy cri-sis? Who will be the stars, the heroes, the villians of the ’80’s? 1980 brings to Blake students such events as the local Picasso exhibit and the Olympic Hockey Games, but the questions still remain. The 1980’s hold both threat and promise. K. FRIDAY. AUGUST 9. 1974 iS THE SEVENTIES THE SEVENTIES THE SEVEN Jlulv o 181 o 9 £ I E 27 't O p H-Yris Year’s Events and Sdlool Facts vq j-p h rt_ The 79 80 Blake student was influenced by many aspects of life outside the school walls. Blake students concerned themselves more and more with dressing in vogue. Although styles weren’t as closely observed as on the east and west coast, baggie jeans from the infamous designers (Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt to name two), and velour shirts in a wide variety of bright colours were seen through the halls. Girls’ hair flowed with the fashion, too. Braids and twists exemplified the trend towards longer, neater, straighter hair. Neat was also the word for boys’ hair which was usually worn short and well-groomed and often parted anti feathered on the sides. A few Blakies took a more western turn towards cowbo bools and hats, and of course, thecowbos’s true friend — chew. I his fad. or habit, raised quite a bit of controversy between faculty and student body, and in some instances between students themselves who argued about its benefits and drawbacks — namely spittoons and High School League rules. Amidst all of the fashion following, many of the old favorites persevered. One student observed in his assembly speech that Blakies are considered on the whole as preppies by other high school students in the community. The preppy girl could be seen outfitted in initialed or fair-isled sweaters, khakis or pleated skirts and maybe a blue blazer along with those everlasting penny loafers. “Preppy guys went for button down oxfords and khakis, blue blazers and docksides or gum shoes. Beyond some of the more superficial aspects of the 79 80 Blakie, specific trends in music and entertainment were noticeable. Local talents such as Daisy Dillman and Lamonte Cranston became more popular with the Blake crowd as well as nationally known Molly Hatchett. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. Though not everyone owned a Jeep, four wheeling became more popular — evident from the peculiar parking found on the Northrop hills, etc ... National and international affairs outside of the school walls threatened to disrupt well-established daily life. Pres. Carter’s proposal for the draft registration cast a feeling of insecurity and anxiety on the nation’s young adults. The threat of war was of major concern, but Blake students were also faced with personal decisions about other national issues such as the ERA amendment, nuclear power, and the boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic games. Though Blake may be somewhat sheltered from the surrounding community, the 79 80 year’s cultural and historic events definitely had an impact on its student. 183 184 pg. 184: S. Bacon; J. Ebin and B.
