Time After Time . . Blake Is The One! We never cease to demonstrate Blake’s unique ability to have a good time. Our sports teams are known to be tough competitiors to many other large public schools. Even though we are small, we seem to keep our position high on the list of excellence. The drama program has a reputation among other schools and social groups, as one of the best in the cities. The productions always deal with deep emotional issues, yet they are presented with a flair and professional aura. Each year brings incredible results from our debate and speech teams, often going as far as national tournaments. These teams have built a solid reputation throughout the state. These examples, however, exclude the real success of the Blake community: the remarkable students. The Blake student possesses a sort of energy that radiates wherever he or she may go, love for life that is rarely found these days. The maturity and respect shown to others also surprises many public insititutions the Blake school visits. As times change, these aspects of our personalities do not. That’s not to say every Blake student is the same, for we clearly are not. Each person contributes his own individual skills and talents to create the diverse atmosphere. With a Blake education behind us, we can only become better people, more caring, more understanding and more giving, as time goes by. 6 • Opening
