BLAKE WINFIELD BLACKWELDER Born: June 25, 1945, Buffalo, New York Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: Librarian, IV, V, VI, Football, IV, V, V15 Soccer, IV, V, VI, Baseball, V, VI Awards: StA-3 Soccer IV, V, VI, StA-3 Football, Vg StA-3 Baseball, V Special Interests: Paleontology, geology College: Duke W Blake Sermons in stones and good in every tbingf, i -Sbakespeare LAKE IS L1v1NG in another age. Surrounded by shells, bones, and shark teeth, Blake explains that his treasures are fossils of the Miocene epoch-some 25 to 30 million years old. One of his most prized possessions is a rock containing traces of life of 180 million years ago. Blake spends his summers and vacations along Marylandls Chesapeake Bay, where he searches for more fossils to add to his collection. He now has about 150 varieties. With his mind fermenting in paleontological bedrock, it ' K - l is no wonder that Blake has not been noted as one of the more mph, - active partakers in the Common Life. He has, however, made or X sizable contributions to this year's Varsity football and base- ball teams, and he has been a starter on the undefeated Junior 4 ll I I Varsity soccer squad for two years. In the classroom he re- ,., I x R x rf u lbs 5 1 X K, mains aloof, silent and inscrutable, and occasional efforts by , r fxw the back row boysv to label him as a rowdy in American o 4 be! history class have always ended in dismal failures. ij , N f ' h Also noteworthy is Blake's artistic success. He began K X Q taking art only last year and did so well in water-colors that N li, r 'S this year he has gone into oils. He works slowly and care- if G ,RJ fully, and his paintings always seem to reHect elements that V R . are also in his personality: refinement and conservatism. We ig i are sure that Duke will aid Blake in his unique interests and H Q35 I J offer him scope for the talents that he has displayed here. N TI-IE ALBANIAN 19

Out jumps a call lanky figure who pulls out his binoculars to scan the wires for the rare bird which he just passed. Unfortunately, the bird has taken flight in terror at the noise from the hole in Buzzy's mufiler. Buzzy is one of the very few boys at St. Albans to have had the privilege of being both a teacher and a student at the same time. Because of his thorough knowledge of birds, Buzzy was asked to teach a class on ornithology in the Lower School, which he managed to squeeze in among his regular schedule of N, studies during his Junior and Senior years. Besides his class on birds, Buzz has worked up through the ranks in the business department of the 'News' to become an efficient Business'Manager. Buzz, also elected a Cathedral Server, must rise before seven olclock to go to the early service, usually after a late night of studying. In spite of 1- these demanding extra-curricular activities, Buzzy had con- tinued to be a hard-working and steady student since his en- trance in C Form. In the athletic world Buzzy has distinguished himself on the baseball team as a first-rate pitcher on the Varsity and as a good end on the -LV. football team. Buzzy's friendliness and contribution to the class of 1963 have made him a real addition to School life.
