Edwin H. Wrench
- graduated from The Blake School, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 19429918
- "Ed has been a cause for constant wonder in the Senior Room this year, not only for his ever-present sense of humor, but also for his ability to misspell more words per line in English themes than the rest of the class. His record first blossomed when he received a -200 on last year's final spelling test, and reached its full bloom with twenty words misspelled in the first paragraph of his Williams Theme this year. However it must be added that the theme was of such high caliber that it was one of the six read in competition for the book prizes. Last year his memorable dissertation on speeches and speech-making, almost disrupted Chapel, and won for him the prize for the best Junior speech of the year. The few articles that he has allowed himself to be persuaded to write for the TORCH, have been truly exceptional; and when given a platform and an audience, or even when given only an audience, Ed soon succeeds in causing tremendous gusts of laughter which subside only to be aroused once again. His ability to speak and to reason soundly entitled him to be one of the four speakers in the Forum debate for the Stricker Cup; and he served with great success throughout the year as a debater where not only his ability but also his red Buick couple were greatly appreciated. Influenced by his taste for poetry, by his obvious creative ability, and by his profile—he is known as Blake's Sandberg—the class elected him to write the Ivy Ode this year. If he does not die a premature death in the course of some of the diabolical chemical experiments which he loves to perform, Ed will continue his education as a journalist, and will be assured of further success in whatever he may do."
- graduated from University of California, Berkeley, Alameda County, California in 1949 in Physics168
