THE Over the years, Blake has experienced many changes, but has not lost sight of its goal to provide its students with a quality education. It is the combination of tradition and innovative ideas that makes Blake a unique school. Blake's success is due only in part to its facilities and physical appearance. It is not the building, but rather the combination of the fine faculty and students that make Blake so special. Whether it be cheering on a sports team, or working late at night on yearbook copy, students and faculty alike share a feeling of camaraderie. It is this feeling that motivates students and faculty to strive toward making Blake the best school possible. This opening section reflects our perception of Blake as one singular sensation. We believe that we can accurately represent the feelings of the entire school when we say WE'RE THE ONE! 6 Opening

Dedication: Clint Knudson We, the 1983 Reflections staff, wish to dedicate this yearbook with respect and admiration to Mr. Clint Knudsen. Mr. Knudsen has been a member of the Blake community for the past twenty-three years. Affectionately known as K or Kootie, he has dedicated his time, energy and interest to his students both in and out of the classroom. White, Albert Einstein hair and a friendly smile characterize his presence. He is a quiet man with a big heart, whose generosity has touched the lives of many students. His warm sense of humor, combined with his patience and acceptance, creates an atmosphere in his classroom in which his students feel at ease. This atmosphere extends beyond the classroom. Students not only feel free to ask for special help with their classwork, but also just drop in to chat with him. In addition to teaching general biology and A.P. biology (a definite favorite among seniors), Mr. Knudsen has participated in a number of other school activities. He has been a faculty representative to the Forum, serving as co-chairperson for three years. ”K has chaperoned numerous class outings and has also been the faculty adviser of the High School Bowl team. Beyond his involvement in the life of the school, he has found the time to do volunteer work every week in the emergency room of Hennipen County Medical Center. Mr. Knudsen is truly an outstanding member of the Blake faculty. Through his warmth and understanding he has significantly contributed to making Blake one singular sensation. 8 Dedication
