Through doors pass all people to all opportunities and activities. A person does not live a single day without passing through at least one dcx_ r. We have doors in our homes, our sch(x ls, our places of business and entertainment. We could certainly say that doors play a great part in the life of every man. As we think about Breck, we can see how these thoughts apply here. Once the student has made the initial entrance through the d x rs pictured above, the rest of his stay is a series of entrances through various d x rs on to more and better things. ;- T r . WCD.CAT.DCPI- mi on 1Q5Q A sch(X)l of such size as ours allows and oftentimes requires each student to engage in numerous activities. It is by this process of entering that the character and personalities are developed and rounded. The variety of activities ranges from journalism to student government. Another thought which we must bear in mind is that it is impossible to grow and develop if one does not enter. Certainly a cadet can come to school and do the required things and then go home. But “as ye sou also shall ye reap.” For this reason we have chosen the doors of Breck experience as the theme for the 1959 Mustang.

Hut of all the administrators, faculty, students, and friends who have been a part of Brcck, one man will always be remembered as truly one of the finest ami most dedicated — Colonel Porter P. Wiggins, U. S. Army Retired. Five years have passed since Col. Wiggins first came to Brcck, but those have been five most fortunate years for our school. Combining his knowledge of the military and his knowledge of men (and boys) he whipped the Cadet Corps into excellent shape. As a result of his energetic and untiring efforts, two short years after his arrival Brcck received the honor rating in the NDCC for the first time in its history. Devoted to the traditions of honor and discipline as taught by the United States Military Academy of which he is a proud alumnus, the Colonel endeavored to pass these fine virtues on to his students during his entire career at Brcck. Perhaps only a few will remember those stories of the Normandy invasion and the campaign in France, but no one will ever forget the man who told them. His name is engraved on the door of the rifle range. Perhaps this will in time pass away. But it will never pass from the hearts anil memories of those who have known, resected, and loved him. For all these reasons and many more. Colonel Wiggins, we dedicate this yearbook to you. You truly represent the era which is leaving Brcck this year! HAUPT HALL HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY Brcck School was founded in 1886 in Wilder, Minnesota under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, Diocese of Minnesota. The school was named in honor of the Reverend James Lloyd Brcck, a pioneer missionary in the early history of the Northwest. Through his untiring efforts, vision, and foresight, opport uni ties for a Christian Education were made available to many young people at Brcck and other schools in the state. In 1917 the school was moved to St. Paul, where it has helped to educate hundreds of young men throughout the Twin City area. Brcck believes the central theme and heart of the school is its spiritual life. It is this that permeates the whole, bringing the boy in right relationship with his God and with his community. It is the responsibility of the school to know the whole boy and in understanding him to help him understand himself. Chapel services arc held for all boys every day and constitute a vital part of the school life. There is no attempt to change a boy’s faith but rather to strengthen it. It is expected that he will go to the church of his choice regularly. The faculty attends, and participates, in the daily chapel services which brings the entire school community together to start every new day. Brcck recognizes the importance of giving a fhor-ough preparation for college and life through a harmonious blending of all facets that make up the life of every boy. The aim, therefore, is to make of a boy’s years at Brcck a rich experience in which he discovers and develops his |K tcniiaIitics as a person and as a member of a friendly school community. The School tries to create an atmosphere that expresses its ideals of simple, disciplined living; of hard, honest work, and informal, sincere friendliness. Boys come to recognize and appreciate these aims as they live and practice them. As he works and grows in such an atmosphere a boy usually experiences the desire to make the most of his educational opj orruni tics and strives to live up to his capacities. For every boy to do the best he can with what he has is the aim and hojK of Brcck School. B R E C K SCHOOL Symbol of the past . . . Hope for the future BOARD OF TRUSTEES Thk Kt. Rf.v. Hamilton II.

It was because of his ceaseless efforts that Breck was able to obtain its present beautiful campus on the River Road. Most important though, with his aid Breck has been molded into an institution of the highest academic, religious, and athletic standards. We have become a true College Preparatory School. This year and next, with Breck taking the giant stride forward and dropping her military program, the Canon will Ik called upon again and again to aid us on the way. Personally, the year is also a banner year for Canon Henderson. He received a Doctor of Divinity Degree in May from Scabury - Western Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois. We know we are in the lK st of hands and are very sure of the best in the future.

CLASS OF 1959 It’s been a long, bard drag, but we’ve finally made it! Back in the grades we used to look at our class picture at the end of every year in the Mustang, and above it there would be The Class of 1959. Then, that year seemed a long way off; in fact to most of us it wasn't a year at all, just a group of numbers above a picture. But as time passed those numbers grew to mean more and more until now they have lost all their remoteness anti actually have come to represent a very real and im| ortant time in our lives. This is the year we arc leaving high school. No longer will we be pamjicrcd and told what to do; no longer will we be treated as | crsons sub-adult; and no longer will we live and learn in the halls of Brcck. Some of us have been here as much as a decade, others only three or four years. But we all have one thing in common, this is our last year. We’ve been a good class. At times our numbers have been as high as thirty, but now there arc only twelve. This, nevertheless represents the hard core anil nucleus of all the boys that have at one time or another been members of the class of ’59. It is in this group that the talent and ability has lain throughout our high school career. We have made our presence felt in all facets of Breck’s curriculum. Athletically we have had almost 100% participation in sports at both the junior varsity and varsity level in the past four years. Such fine athletes as Stan Kozlak, co-captain varsity football 58, Arlyn Lichthardt, co-captain varsity football ’58 and captain varsity wrestling ’59, Rich Worthing, captain varsity basketball ’59, Rod Crawford, all-conference hockey '59, and Brian Gnauck, captain track team '59, just to mention a few, have all shown their ability on the playing field, the mat, the gym Hoor, and the rink. In the military our class has demonstrated its leadership to a very fine degree. In the journalism department we have been represented by such names as George Johnson, three-year editor of the Bugle and co-editor of the Mustang '59, Tim Hitchcock, co-editor of the Bugle and Mustang ’59, and Mike Rader, all-around journalist. Bugle and Mustang. Academically the fifty-niners have George Johnson who has held one of the highest four-year averages in the school’s history, along with Bill HUison and several others who have done a fine job in their studies. But the true quality of this year’s seniors has been brought out in the fact that virtually all of the members of our class have been accepted at the colleges of their choice. We have had a fine record in the past. In the future we will become America's doctors, lawyers, and businessmen. We arc the products of our homes and of Brcck School. Our standards arc high, our qualities the best. So long, Brcck Tech! Arlyn Lichthardt Class President Entered I 52, 7 year ; I’.F.C.

(Ladet Second cJieutenant Donald J olin Sntoine Rejoice in thy youth.”—Ecclesiastes 11 :9 Ron Antoine has one distinction that no other senior can claim—he has more lecture notes than anyone else at Brcck. Interested in any new idea, attentive in class, and always writing were Ron’s main study characteristics. Many times in English class, he would interruj t Mr. Roth to ask him to repeat some juicy fact which he had missed five minutes previously; or in Chemistry, lie would have Mr. Walton spell out a poly-svliablcd word which even Webster could misspell. This attentiveness and interest in all facets of life has given Ron a personality that is to be desired. He went out for football, hockey and track, always undertaking a rough position. Next to his girls and his car, he liked his uniform best. His shoes were always glassy, uniform pressed and cleaned, and his numerous medals were everywhere drawing attention. He is a jxrrson who willingly joined class committees, the Glee Club, journalism, and other activities, in which he was always of great assistance. Ron’s ability to start a job and finish it, his willingness to help when needed, and his loyalty and devotion to his school gave him a character and attitude we feel will allow him to accomplish many fine things in the years to come.

Sam has one asset which will always make him a pleasure to Ik near—that is his wonderful sense of humor and enthusiastic love of life. With Sam there is never a dull moment. In the classroom or the field you can always count on him to make some quip or joke which would send jKople into riotous laughter. Sam had the best knack of making the most serious moment one of lighthearted fun. One of his favorite interests is music. Nearly every afternoon you could find him surrounded by a happy group of music lovers, jxmnding away the latest hit or playing a concerto by Rachmaninoff on the piano. He would often team with other student musicians and spend hours ardently playing jazz, poj s or classical music. Another interest which Sam never ceased to defend, was his pink Ram bier. Many times the roar of the souped up motor, squeal of the brakes, the smell of rubber would pervade the air as Balkin would take his pink tomb into battle against a Ford or Chevy. And yet Sam could w'ork well when wrork was needed to Ik done. As a member of the journalistic and managerial stafT he gave extra time to work, w hich far too few of his classmates were w illing to do. Sam’s going will Ik fell by Breck for he showed, jKrhaps better than anyone, that love of life is a great treasure for man to have.

C aclet (Captain ame Cellar L amum As the old expression goes, “there’s one in every crowd!” Well, Jim was that one. You may ask. “One what? That’s a good question and we’re not sure we know the answer. Jim’s stay at Brock was punctuated by violent chemical reactions anil tire marks in the parking lot. But along with all this jazz went a pretty good record, especially in the science courses. Jim was always a good leader hut at times it was hard to tell in which direction. In spite of this the S 3 division of the staff was at its height of efficiency in his senior year. In athletics he never set the world on fire, but he devoted a lot of effort and loyalty to the program. J. B. was a member of many of the varsity and junior varsity teams at Brcck, and most always found himself in a starting position. So as we see Jim leave in the Bonny we can't help but think that the next year is going to be a heck of a lot duller without the “one.

Soon a lone figure from the midst of our armor-clad eleven would be seen heading for a cold shower to cool his boiling blood. Yes, Rod hail a temper. Rut when this dynamic force was directed towards the right ends, things were sure to get done in no uncertain terms. Rod came to Rrcck when lie was a sophomore, and in his three years at Rrcck he has made many friends. He has had the amiable quality which enables him to get along with his fellow seniors as well as the first-former. His forceful personality and aggressive nature has always placed him in the center of any business activities in which his class might be engaged. Continually the source of information about which band to get or how to decorate for the big dance—Roddy was always first choice for any planning committee. As we sec him disap( car in a cloud of dust down forty-second street heading for the love gardens of Minnetonka, we will all remember Roil Crawford as the little blond bureaucrat with the red whiskers and the indomitable spirit for progress which will inevitably lead him to final success in any future undertaking. “He that is of merry heart hath a continual feast. —Bible Entered 1956, 3 years; Corporal 3; Sergeant 3; 2nd Lieutenant 4; Captain 4; Commander A Company 4; J.V.

How could we forget that old blue crate that would roar in and out of the parking lot at speeds nearing Mach 1 with the deafening roar of an F-100? Seriously though. Bill was one of the unsung heroes of the senior class. He used his ability to a high degree, made a good record for himself and was definitely a credit to Breck. Although his athletic ability was not outstanding, he was one of the most faithful members of our teams at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. The coaches could always count on Bill for 100% effort and usually pretty good results. In the military department. Bill assumed the post of Company Commander of “A Company. This is always a tough position in a military system because so much of the discipline must be dealt out to your own friends and classmates. But somehow. Bill had a quality which made him act fairly in both the military system and as a member of the Cadet Board. So as Bill disappears into the distance for destinations unknown, we will ever remember his immortal words, “You know I’m the most intelligent person in the world!

One of the things which seems to Ik fast vanishing from the face of the earth is a man who is completely devoted to the job which he lias to tlo. Our Command-ing Officer, Brian Gnauck, certainly must Ik put in this class of vanishing organisms. No matter what the task, be it s|x rts, academics, or military, you could always count on Brian to give Ids very best. When Colonel Wiggins was taken ill, the lion’s share of the responsibility for the military system fell on the shoulders of our C.O. His job of keeping the Corps looking shipshape and not like “Coxey s Army” was well done and certainly a credit to his leadership and character. On the athletic field or mat, the coaches could always count on 100% from “Bri” along with a lot of encouragement from many of the underdassmalcs. We can still see that figure bounding around the cinder track at a seemingly untiring pace. In the person of Brian Gnauck, Breck has seen one of the best leaders who will prabably ever attend. And when he leaves, there is going to lx- an empty place in the Breck ranks for quite a time. ‘VI closed month catches no flies. —Cervantes Entered 1951, 8 years; P.F.C.

Looks like Tim just left home. Let's see—he’s about fifteen miles away at this instant; if he’s up to snuff today he ought to he here in about forty-three seconds. All kidding aside, Tim is a very cautious driver! Tim’s career at Brcck can be summed up by saying that he is a boy who just can’t get enough hard work. Speaking of hard work, Tim was one of the hardest working members of the ’59 hockey team. His participation on the Mustang Board and the Bugle Staff probably shows more than anything else his great desire for accomplishments. Tim is always looking out for the other fellow. In military he had the job of being B Company Commander. There are several seventh and eighth graders who will remember him as a fair, square leader who was always willing to give them a helping hand in time of trouble. If anyone was to be chosen as Mr. School Spirit there is no doubt that Tim would be the one. His love of math has headed him towards an engineering career. Tim will never be forgotten here at Brcck and we all would like to wish him the best of luck in his chosen Held.

George Johnson is generous with his time and energy. When he secs a job that needs to be done he doesn’t wait to be told but always works to get it done. He has given freely of his time to all extra curricular activities at Hrcck; he was editor of both the Brcck Mustang and Bugle, on all social affairs committees, in the Glee Club, and on the managerial staffs, just to name a few of his many duties, and yet he has maintained the highest academic record in the school. Often, in halls, you would find him with a group of younger students explaining geometry or Latin verbs; many times in study hall you could see him helping fellow seniors with their Trig or explaining the manual of arms to a first former. Although Cicorgc is one of the busiest people in the school's life he has still remained one of the friendliest and best liked. His pleasing personality, sharp wit, helpful nature and wonderful humor have made him someone who is a constant pleasure to be near. We know George will grow and mature into a person Brcck can Ik proud of for he personifies the great message, It is better to give than to receive. If him is Msdom and strength.

Ever silent, ever serious, always sober; yet his gravity of manner and sense for good humor have won Stan many friends. Of all the members in the Class of '59, Stan Kozlak was undoubtedly the most serious about his work and about his future. His amazing ability to stick-at-it made him not only a good student but was also very apparent in the field of sport. A fine athlete, Stan participated in a wide variety of competitive athletics throughout his entire high school career. A three-year veteran of the varsity football, basketball, and track teams, he made a fine record for himself as a determined and enthusiastic sportsman. As a axaptain of the 1959 football team, he displayed fine leadership and won the rcsjxrct of everyone on the squad as a hardhitting, always driving ball player. It will seem obvious to all that knew “Kozy that he will, without a doubt, succeed in any endeavor that he might undertake in the future, if he continues to follow the standards of self-discipline and hard work that have been his trademark in the past.

You would hear such remarks as “Well team, “Hi (Jang, or they just all fall for me. Even a hopelessly near-sighted person would know that it was “Mighty-man Lichthardt off on another of his “woman benders. The history of this unusual senior has been one of leadership and accomplishment. Arlyn has been one of the highest students scholastically and still has found time to devote a major amount of his time to sj orts. His football and wrestling careers will long be remembered here at Breck. Arlyn was Cajuain of both the 59 football and wrestling teams. I don’t think there is any person who could lind fault in his leadership in these fields. His efforts were constantly directed toward the improvement of himself, his school, and the activities he participated in. In the military department Arlyn served in the capacity of Battalion Executive Officer. As far as the social activity of the class he was again in a position of leadership. By some of the underclassmen Arlyn was thought of as a hero. Actually he covered his accomplishments with a thick shield of modesty. When classes again resume next fall there will be indeed a problem to find someone to fill his shoes. Good luck to a great leader and sportsman! The opinion of I he strongest is ahvays the best. —Fontaine Entered 1956, 4 years; P.F.C. 2; Corporal 3; Sergeant 4; 1st Lieutenant 4; Captain 4; Commander of Band 4; Band 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2. 3, 4; Octet 3; Librarian of (ilee Club 3, 4; J.V.

In everything he undertook, Mike did the very best he could. He continually amazed everyone with his comprehension of the humanities and the grades he made in them. His accomplishments in the extra-curricular fields at Brcck arc equally admirable. He was always an enthusiastic supporter and helped to spur the fellows on. In his senior year, his ability to undertake leadership became very evident. Chosen as Cadet Commander of the Board, he took an unorganized and poorly equipped unit and whipped them into a snappy outfit. His aid on the publications was also invaluable.

Cadet Cdirst oCieutenant Cdl chard 'lAJeltlalu A pleasant smile, a toss of the head, and a hearty laugh; that’s Rich Worthing. Rich has been a student at Breck for ten years. In that time, his winning personality and keen sense of humor have won him many friends. He will probably lie remembered most as the “little guy with the big smile. But his size was no great detriment when compared with his giant-sized determination and desire. As an athlete he proved to be an excellent leader as he captained the ’58 J.V. football team. But, his favorite as well as his most proficient sport was basketball. As far back as seventh grade Rich used to arrive at seven o'clock in the morning and after devising several superbly unique ways of entering the old Breck gym he would practice until school started. This paid off, for as a Senior he supplied fine leadership as captain of the cagcrs and terrific ability as a player. Academically Rich was always close to the top of his class and showed himself especially capable in math and Mexican. There arc those of us who will never forget Rich for the part he played in the Boulevard parking lot massacre, or those 3:00 A.M. breakfasts at the “Walkic Talkie, and many will remember him by that remodeled Sherman tank with the off-color right headlight that would ramble into the parking lot every morning at 8:20.

CLASS OF 1960 Jeffrey Halpem Charles Hamplc David Hanson James Hoffman Ed Lamp Michael Ankeny George Benesh Mac Binger Tom Erickson John Hall Michael Fronk This year’s Junior class at Breck embraced a total of 22 cadets. In all school activities they showed a real spirit and willingness to participate wholeheartedly. Because Breck is becoming more anti more known for its high academic standards, a real challenge presented itself in the Junior class. It was met and returned by especially such as Michael Fronk, Jeff Halpern, Mac Bingcr, and Charles Hamplc. The class was well represented in all of the varsity and also some of the J.V. sports by George Benesh, Mac Bingcr, Tom Erickson, Mike Fronk, Jon Hall, Jeff Halpern, Chuck Hamplc, Jim Hoffman, Ed Lamp, Bill Nelson, Roland Nickerson, Howie Pctschcl, Bill Ramsay, Ford Robbins, Steve Ross, Doug Shaw, Chuck Strothman, Walt Walker, and Steve Wlosinski. The spirit and determination of this class will certainly make Breck proud next year. The elected class officers this year were: I’rcsidcnt, Steven Ross; Vice President, Charles Hamplc; Secretary-Treasurer, Ron Schm. With the transition from a military to a more academic program a great deal of the burden will lie on the shoulders of the next senior class. The leadership shown this year will surely manifest itself in the activities of the coming senior class.

It attained distinction both in the classroom and on the athletic field. In academic phases, these boys of the Sophomore class constantly achieved position on the two honor rolls: Tom Whyatt and John Stubstad on the Cum Laude and Bryan Arling, Tom Anderson, Larry Kane. Brian Patterson, Gordon Mixon, and Jeffrey Sharp on the Emeritus. The Fourth form was well known to lx- athletically inclined. Many of the Sophomores became familiar figures to sport enthusiasts of the upper school. Whether it was on the football field, the basketball court, the hockey rink, the wrestling mat, the baseball diamond, or the golf course you could lx sure to find a representative of the Fourth form participating. Members of the varsity teams were: Warren Lackic (football, wrestling, track); Rocky Kramber (football, hockey, baseball); Dick Powell (football, wrestling, track); Scott Rahn (football, basketball, baseball); Bml “The Chick Mixon (hockey, baseball); Fred “Buckets Lade (basketball, baseball); John Bill (wrestling): Ralph Hutchinson (hockey); Tony Korba (baseball); John Stubstad (baseball); Tom Whyatt (baseball); Mike Rex (track) and Chuck Olson (golf). Socially the Sophomores put on the annual Freshman-Sophomore Dance which had a very good turnout. Pete Mr. Casual Clifford, Jeff Sharp, and Scott Rahn shared the chairmanship. The Fourth formers elected as their class officers: Scott Rahn. president; Mike Rex, vice president; Ralph Hutchinson, secretary; and Pete Clifford, treasurer. The Cadet Board representatives were John Stubstad anil Scott Rahn. Mr. Rustaii and Mr. Russell acted as class advisors. The whole class consists of good all-around boys who we can expect much from in the future!

Sportswise, they showed unusual ability and as a result had several starting on varsity teams. These were Lee Sutton, Fred lunger, John Peyton, and Tom Walker in hockey; Lee McDonald, George Pattison, and Hill Reay in wrestling; Lee Sutton and John Peyton in track; and Fret! lunger in baseball. Many of the others received varsity numerals or Junior Varsity letters. One of the biggest social events of the year was the annual Freshman-Sophomore Dance. The Freshmen worked diligently at this and it was evident. Those who attended agree it was one of the most organized, colorful, and successful affairs of its kind. In the military ami academic phases of school life the Third formers did equally well. They received many promotions and did well in their respective positions. The Freshmen were always represented on the Cum Laude list and many obtained Emeritus certificates. F.lcctcd as their officers were: Peter Johnson, President; Randy Schapiro, Vice President; Wade Larkin, Secretary; and George Pattison, Treasurer. If the Freshmen continue with their excellence in leadership, athletics, and studies, they’ll make one of the finest groups of men ever to graduate from Breck.

Academically, you could always find a Second Former on the Cum Laude or on the Emeritus honor roll. S| ortswisc, the Second form athletic teams were ‘‘tops due to the spirit and sportsmanship shown and promoted by the members of the individual teams. In military they were also outstanding. Many promotions were awarded to the Second formers throughout the year. “B Company, which consisted of First and Second formers, had a very outstanding record in the battalion. Socially, you would always find a second former at all of the social functions at Brcck. Bob Anderson was elected President of the form while David Robb was made Vice President. The Secretary of the class was Bruce Shaw, and the Treasurer was Fred Webber. The advisors for the Second form were Mr. Bosanko and Mr. Campbell. Let us hope the second formers do as well in their following years at Brcck as they did this year.

The rapidity with which they found themselves academically, can be seen by the number of boys on the Cum Laude and Emeritus honor rolls. The boys have a terrific sense of school spirit and honor. A number of the boys belong to the glee club and band. anti as for s| orts, time will really prove the true worth, ability, and loyalty of the youngest class. The class officers of this form arc Richard Desnick, president; Steven Rader, vice president; and Thomas Wright, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Hcascr and Mr. Hovland are the class advisors. All in all, the boys of the first form this year have fast become close friends. There is every reason to prophesy a bright future for them at Brcck.

LOWER SCHOOL The most important and vital years of a jxrr-son’s life are probably his early childh x d. This is taken up by his schooling from kindergarten to sixth grade. It is with this idea in mind that we enter the lower sch x l d x rs. In this part of a child’s growth everything around him is of utmost importance because he is so impressionable. Here also he learns his 3R’s; fundamentals which will be the same and used continuously throughout his entire life. To the child’s eyes there is little more than drudgery in view, but little does he know of the effects of this on his personality and mind. The teachers serve as almost a second mother who helps the cadet in his growing process and guides him in the right direction. As a child reaches school age, he begins to enter the most important doors in his life, next to those of the home. Within these will be moulded the future of our great land and heritage.

They are the forming tools which are used in the moulding of the character of each individual student. It is by this means that the student comes in contact with the ideas of the great men of history, and often obtains material which will lx- used in his own mental development. In the titular position of administration we have the businessmen of the organization. All this talk of education and development is fine, but also the school must be financially sound and properly managed. All the minor details must be carefully studied and decisions made. This large task is handled by the administration. As we move on, let us keep in mind the importance of our loyal faculty who have devoted themselves to the education of young people; a choice which was surely not made due to monetary recompense.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Our extra-curricular activities is another held which contributes greatly to the development of a person. Here the lesson taught is that of accomplishment. Students learn by doing and produce material proof of their efforts. In the past our extra-curricular program has been rather neglected because of the shortage of time. But in the future we are looking for much improvement and expansion in this area when more time is able to be devoted to it. Nevertheless each person who participates in such things is well rewarded. This is another door which leads to the development of a well rounded character. l.KfT To kioiir, KATicn: Richard Worthing, Arlyn I.ichthjrift. Brian (inauck.

THE CADET BOARD As a general rule, all societies arc divided into two groups: the governors and the governed. In democratic societies these two groups are fused together in that the governors arc elected anti thus represent the governed. So it is at Breck. The C atlct Board serves as a representative organization of the various classes. There arc generally one or two elected members and one appointed member from each Form on the Board. These boys, together with advisors from the Administration, take action on many important issues in our School’s life. The Cadet Board’s functions arc many and varied. This past year witnessed a marked increase in the responsibilities of the Board. It has a real voice in the sorial, athletic, and disciplinary matters that affect the entire Cadet Corps. This responsibility is excellent training in the all-important art of self-discipline which is so essential to the firm and sound development of real men. One of the primary functions of the Board is the pronouncement of disciplinary action. Although the emphasis at Breck is placed on building the virtues of good citizenship and cooperative effort rather than an elaborate system of rules and punishment, still it is necessary to maintain a few regulations and a traditional code of behavior which students should observe. If a Cadet fails to follow this code, he will receive a certain number of detention merits, and, when this number exceeds a set limit, he will be asked to “work off” a certain number of hours as his ease may deserve. If he feels unjustly treated, he may appeal to the Cadet Board. The Board will then review his case anti tlccidc its outcome. The Cadet Board is also responsible for the School’s social functions and obligations. It implements such events at Homecoming and the Military Ball. Throughout the year such charity organizations as the Community Chest and the Red Cross ask for donations. The Cadet Board decides on the amount to be allocated from a fund designed for that purj)osc. Thus it is apparent that the Cadet Board plays a very active and important part in Brcck’s life. It is an advisory, judiciary, ami coordinating body. It is the voice of the students. Shown AnovK—i.r.rr to Rtr.iu: Tim Hitchcock. Co-Sditor; Arlyn Lichthardt, Sam Kalkin.

THE MUSTAN We, of the Journalism staff, are tremendously proud of the 1959 Brcck Mustang. The work took many long, tedious hours of work, much self-sacrifice on the part of a few boys to prtxlucc a lxx k of which Breck can lx- thoroughly proud. The credit for the annual's format must go to Tim Hitchcock anil George Johnson who formulated it in the spring of 1958. After the format was completed much time was spent in obtaining contracts from printers, photographers, engravers of the highest calibre to do the work in their respective fields. Then came the real work: George Johnson and Mike Rader began putting these ideas into construction production. George Johnson worked on layout, proofreading, writing and the countless other tasks which make the editorship such a chore. Mike Rader, as Business Manager, sold books to the lower school, obtained advertisements and made the book financially sound. Our appreciation and thanks go to George Johnson, Tim Hitchcock, Arlyn Lichthardt, Mike Racier, Stan Ko7.lak, Brian Gnauck and Rod Crawford for their splendid work in writing; to George Johnson and Mike Rader for the fine layout work, and to Mr. Roth for help and advice throughout the year. We can only hope that you will accept and appreciate the Breck Mustang of 1959 and that it will hold for you endless hours of enjoyment. Busy as “Bees G Shown Above—left to eight.

This year was perhaps the paper’s best. The old Bugle was completely revitalized and in its place the stall produced a publication with more student interest. Such features as Dear Slabby, Letters to the Editor, and Want Ads gave the Bugle a great amount of lively interest and made it immediately popular with the students and faculty alike. George Johnson, as editor, diil a splendid job of making the publication the voice of the student body. The fine writing was done by Mike Fronk, George Johnison, Mike Rader, Sam Balkin, Tim Hitchcock, and Arlyn Lichthardt while the layout was ably handled by Steve Ross. Much credit and thanks must be given to Mr. Krenz for his constant help and support as faculty advisor. Also we express our thanks to those members of the student body who helped so much with their varied contributions. Although the Bugle was hampered by a lack of funds and personnel, we feel proud of the fine contribution which it made toward the improvement of the spirit of the corps and arc grateful for the fine job it did in drawing the cadets closer together. Mike Rader MILITARY Since 1943, when Brcck was organized as a military school, the military training has become a regular part of each cadet's program. The school was organized in this manner s x n after Pearl Harbor when the state of our national defense was at a low ebb. It was hoped that the training received at Breck would be of some value in the armed forces. More important than this was the value of military as a means of discipline. For the last 16 years most of the responsibility for the discipline of the school has rested on the military department. The military also introduced the idea of uniforms which serves the purpose of putting all students on the same economic level outwardly and thereby dispenses with many distractions and animosities. During the academic growth of the school it has become evident that there is less and less time to devote to the military programs. Therefore the above picture is the last Breck Military LXx r. There is little doubt that the military department, especially the uniform and discipline has been a great btx n to the sch x l, and has made it a well-respected name in the eyes of the citizens of the Twin Cities. Ratallion Staff: utrr to ttir.MT: Gnauck. Crawford. Lkhthardl. Wlosin-ki. Barnum. Lamp. Johnson, and Benesh CADET CORPS This was the last year for military at Breck School. The beginning months of the year were spent in training the cadets in basic field fundamentals such as how to march, counter march, right turn, about-face, etc. When the cold weather came, the military program went inside where classes in military science and tactics were held, map reading and marksmanship taught. The band sjx-nt the winter months practicing and | cr-fccting many new pieces of music which were presented to the school in several band concerts. When spring came, the military program was seeded up as the officers attempted to whip the corps into shape for the coming inspection, Baccalaureate, and graduation. Hours were devoted to outside marching and practice so that when bisection Day came, a somewhat nervous corps put forth a fine program; Baccalaureate also went off in fine military tradition. This year’s officers and Cadet Corps was a fine one. When Colonel Wiggins was forced to retire because of health the military program at Breck felt a loss from which it never recovered. Brian Gnauck, Cadet Commander, and his able staff, Bill Kllison as “A Company Commander, Tim Hitchcock as “B Company Commander and Mike Rader as Commander of the Band all worked hard in order that the Colonel’s program might become the success it was. Major John Hudson, who took the Colonel’s position, Sergeant Schneider, from the University of Minnesota, and Frank J. Kolar, who directed the band, all gave invaluable help to the program. Determined to make the last year for military the best, the Cadet Board put long hours of work into preparing anil presenting the Military Ball, which as always, was the finest social event of the year. Military is a wonderful tradition—the Ball, the Color Guard, saluting, saying “yes sir!,’’ the columns of snappy cadets, the rifle range, the Cadet Board, a military band. Inspection Day, Baccalaureate, and discipline are all part of a glorious tradition which has left Breck School. We can only hope that next year’s students will find in the new program something to take the place of the splendor and pageantry which make military so wonderful. FIRST PLATOON SECOND PLATOON A Company “A Company is composed of the cadets in grades nine through eleven. The fundamentals which were learned as younger cadets are rigidly applied anti polished to perfection. Drill becomes an increasingly imj ortant part of the program as the Cadets in “A” Company have the most important roles in the annual inspection. This year the officers of “A Company were: Commander, Captain Hill Ellison; First Platoon Leader, 1st Lieutenant Mac Binger; Second Platoon Leader, 1st Lieutenant Stan Kozlak. The First Sergeant was Warren Lackie. Corporal Jeff Sharp was Supply Sergeant while P.F.C. Lee McDonald was Guidon Bearer. Captain Kllison and Stall FIRST PLATOON SECOND PLATOON B Company “B Company is composed of the first anti second formers. This is their first real indoctrination into military. It is at this time that they arc taught all of the drill and ceremonies of the school. What is learned in “B” Company is of great value to the cadets for it is the basis of all their military training at Breck. This year the officers of B” Company were: Commander, Captain Tim Hitchcock: First Platoon Leader, 2nd Lieutenant Ron Antoine; and Second Platoon Leader 1st Lieutenant Rich Worthing. The First Sergeant was Bill Ramsay. Corporal Dick Powell was Supply Sergeant while P.F.C. John Hacking was Guidon Bearer. Captain Hitchcock and Start THE COLOR GUARD THE BRECK BAND A band which could not play, cadets who could not march and an organization without a leader—this was the Brcck Band in the first week after school oj cncd. Then Brcck discovered a spirited, lively musician, bursting with energy, proficient in music and one of the best directors in the state, who was to become band master, Frank J. Kolar. From the minute Mr. Kolar lifted his baton in front of our band, things began to happen. This elderly band master presented music to the band and school in a way never before known. He would smash his metal baton against the stand to bring out more music; his voice would resound above the band as he spurred them on, and his personality )� ervaded the band in a manner most unusual. It was under the direction of Mr. Kolar that the band was transformed from a group of inexperienced boys to a musical team of high quality. The military end of the band was very ably commanded by Cadet Captain Michael Rader and Drum Major Michael Fronk. In this short year, our band has gone from the school’s worst unit to one of its best. We feel that it Is a fitting close to a sixteen-year military tradition that the last band should lx- the finest. Captain Rader and Staff SPECIAL ACTIVITIES By means of special activities, “friendships formed within these walls, will live within each heart.” There is something about dances and social activities which tends to draw the Breck family closer together. This is not only done by the actual function, but more by the preparation. There is nothing that cultivates friendships like working together with a common goal in mind. Besides this, there is the ever-present idea that people must get along with people. In almost every life, it is going to be necessary for the person to associate with other people, and this is one thing which cannot be learned in books. It is for this reason that we have entered this d(x r briefly to show these activities as they t x k place. In this b x� k is the pictorial account of the last Miliary Rail in the history of Breck Schcxjl; a function which was undoubtedly one of the most splendid occasions of the entire year of activities. HOMECOMING 1958 Queen Diane Nelson The Royal Court The Homecoming activities started the week prior to the Homecoming game. The annual Queen's Tea, held at the home of Rod Crawford, was the formal commencement of the festivities. On this bright Sunday afternoon, all the juniors and seniors who wanted to enter candidates for queen brought them to Rod's for an informal get-together. The field was somewhat narrowed by the selection of the four candidates who received the most votes. They were Sue Lchmeycr escorted by R xl Crawford, Kathy Hanson with Steve Ross, Sammy S| enccr escorted by Rich Worthing, ami Diane Nelson with Tim Hitchcock. All four of these girls were present at the Homecoming game which did not turn out in our favor. The game was lost 19-0 to the boys from Shattuck, but this did not dampen the spirit of the rest of the activities. Upon rcturn-to a few jKrople. After each couple had taken its place on the stage, and the reigning Queen Mary Tatam was escorted by Arlyn Licht-hardt to her throne, Mr. Arthun announced “Mr. Football of 1958 who was Arlyn Lichthardt. After much pacing and hesitating, he kneeled anil then kissed Diane Nelson, the new Brcck Homecoming Queen of 1958. Then with the exit of the Queen and her attendants, began the Homecoming Dance.

The drab drill floor was transformed into a magic midway filled with gaiety and laughter, happy, inviting booths, stands and shops. They were all grabbing for the op-portunity to entertain and delight the thousands of friends who attended the affair. The carnival is given every year by the Mothers’ Club as a profit making venture and, what's more important, as a delightful way for neighbors, friends, parents, anti cadets to become better acquainted with one another. This year's gala fiesta was hailed as the best yet produced. The entire lower floor of the school was flooded with carnival apparatus which provided wonderful variety, unending fun and excitement. We salute the Brcck Mother’s Club for the glorious success of the Carnival.

I would hate to count the various essays and specch-cs which have been written and delivered on this subject. But here arc basically the purposes of the compulsory athletic program. Brcck has set out to develop each young man in three departments: Mind, Body, and Spirit. It is not possible to develop all three of these when any one thing is overemphasized. Therefore the threefold program has been set up: the academic, athletic, and religious. The development of the mind is mostly the job of the academic department, but it is also helped along by the experiences encountered in good rough competition. The development of the body is left to the athletic department. By the help of various and assorted exercises and hard play, Brcck hopes to develop a man “sound in body and mind. Lastly wc have the spiritual aspect of the character. This is handled by the religion department primarily, but also the athletic program ties in here, for nothing builds spirit like competition.

VARSITY FOOTBALL After 1957s tragic season, there was not much left for Breck's gridiron ponies to do but to look forward to a brighter future. This in itself was a difficult task, for it is not easy to gain clear vision when ham| crcd by the tears of dismal defeat. Things were looking bad for the Mustangs. Of course, in '58 the team would definitely be strengthened by the addition of several spirited sophomores, but then again, graduation would take with it a half-dozen seniors, three of which helped comprise one of the hugest forward walls in the conference. What was going to happen to Brcck football in ’58? August 18 saw about eighteen boys report for the first several pre-school practices. This wasn't even enough for the two teams, vet head-coach Aarthun felt he must make the most of what he had; thus ensued two weeks of brutal conditioning and strenuous practice. When school opened, the scene brightened somewhat. The first day of that first week witnessed a miracle; there were close to thirty boys out for practice. But, this good fortune did not last long and soon the Mustangs dwindled to the twenty or so boys which were to carry through for the remainder of the season. Hopes were high for the first game with Blake. Coaches Aarthun. Mitteco and Skari, were relying on a powerful defense to stop the Hilltoppcrs and fight back with a speedy offense. Soon after the contest started, it was evident that all hopes were in vain. The defense crumbled under a pounding attack, and the offense could never seem to coordinate themselves enough to move the ball into T.D. territory. This seemed to set the painful pace for almost the entire season. Following their loss to Blake, the Mustangs were crushed by the league champions, S.P.A. Baubling the greatest chance for victory, the Brcck gridders again met defeat in their third game. Homecoming seemed to light a new spark in the hearts of the Ponies, but this new spirit proved short-lived as Big Red from Faribault downed our boys 19-0. The week following Homecoming was a revolutionary one for the football team. After a great deal of thought, the coaches decided to completely revamp the backficld and employ a formation new to the Mustangs, the wing-T. This seemed to be Breck's savior in '58. In the next contest with Concordia, on a quarterback option around left end off the wing-T, Brcck scored their first touchdown in eleven varsity football contests. Hoo-rah! The next week we met Fdcn Prairie at Brcck. This time victory was finally ours. The gold and blue were at last the winning colors by a score of 38-12. Thus ended football, 1958. It wasn’t a very gratifying year, yet each senior that graduates in '59 will remember the glory of that final victory in that last game. It’s good to win! Ron Antoine, fullback Jim Barnum, guard Football ANTOINE 1958 marked Ron’s first year as a varsity football player. This fact might normally prove to be a hindrance to anyone who desires to he a sportsman for inexperience is always a heavy burden. But this was not the ease with Ron. Outstanding desire and unthwarted enthusiasm drove him to be one of the hardest hitting fullbacks in the league as well as one of the more valuable players on the Brcck team. BARNUM With a year behind him as a J.V. ballplayer, Jim reported for varsity football in 58. His size, speed, and endurance won him a guard position on the first string. Many players on opposing teams will undoubtedly remember some of his unprecedented tactics in the line and his fireball charge into the back field. Our backs always knew they could rely on ‘P. T.” to open those holes in that forward wall and when they were there they knew the coach couldn’t send in anyone else, anyhow. Stan Kozlak, guard Tint Hitchcock, tackle Arlyn Lichthardt, tackle CRAWFORD He might have been small in size, hut he was one of the biggest men on the team when it came to guts, determination, anil desire. Fighting the formidable foe, painful injury, throughout the entire season, he showed the coaches and his teammates that his love for football was indeed primary. A hard-hitting dynamo defensively, anti a speedy runner offensively, Rtxl was definitely an asset to his team. Mike Rader, tackle Bill Klliton. end ELLISON This was Bill’s first year as a varsity f x tball player. Coming up from the f.V. ranks it did not take him long to show- that he could fill the shoes of an A-squad end very well. Half way through the season Bill was compelled to drop football as the result of illness. Here's to a truly fine football player. Bill Ellison. HITCHCOCK Tim was another first-year man on the varsity in ’58. But his ability as a fast, hard-charging tackle soon showed him to be equal to any of the onc-or-two-ycar veterans on the team. Responsible for many key blocks and crushing tackles, he should surely be recognized as one of the most valuable men on the squad. KOZLAK Filling the shoes as one of the co-captains of the ’58 Mustangs very adequately, three-year veteran Stan Koz-lak had iust the right qualities that makes for a fine football player and valuable asset on any team. As both offensive and defensive guard, Stan proved himself to be one of the more powerful men in Brcck’s forward wall. LICHTHARDT Arlyn is probably one of the most experienced and outstanding football players we have had at Breck. He started playing football way back in the grade school and steadily improved until he was chosen to the MISL All-Conference Team in both his junior and senior years. His tremendous spirit and determination hel|K«l immeasurably in holding the team together. RADER Being the son of a former U. of M. football hero, Mike was probably born with an innate love for this great sport. Yet, due to injuries sustained both last year and in ’58, he was unable to play in most of the contests. Nevertheless, we will always recognize him as a great guy with 3 lot of want to win.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL This year the Junior Varsity Football Team was coached by both the Rev. Ernest Campbell and Mr. Uram, a former coach of the Third Form. Because of the absence of a freshman team, Mr. Uram and the freshmen joined forces with Rev. Campbell anti his upperclassmen to give Brcck its largest B” squad in years. With little more than one week's practice the jay vccs began their schedule by meeting a highly polished Blake team and losing badly. The next game was against St. Paul Academy and once again superior size and ex| ericnce hurt the Mustangs. Then, after smashing heads with the Varsity during the following week in practice, the Ponies played Minnehaha Academy to a scoreless tic in one of the best contests of the year. Although both teams failed to score, the defensive play was the best of the season as Dick Worthing, senior captain, and Tom Whyatt provided the spirit and manpower to hold the larger Academy team scoreless. The team then went on the road for two games, the first being Shattuck on the following week. Shattuck scored first and went ahead 7-0, but there was no holding the Mustangs back. Bud Mixon threw a perfect pass to Mike Roycc for Brcck s first score, anil Lee Sutton smashed over for the tying point. The Ponies scored once more in the game, but it was nullified because of a penalty. Shattuck scored again and the final score was Shattuck 13, Brcck 7. In the last conference game of the season, the team traveled to Concordia. Lee Sutton, in the form that won him Most Valuable Player, provided the inside l owcr to give Brcck two long drives. After Concordia had taken a 14-0 lead, the Ponies scored on a pass from Mixon to Roycc. With Sutton make the extra point, the score was 14-7. Concordia scored again to make it 20-7, and, soon after, Bud Mixon scored on a 19 yard sprint around his own left end. A final Brcck drive fell short in the closing minutes and the game ended 20-13. In the final game of the season, Brcck played Golden Valley at home. This was the best game of the Junior Varsity season with the final score in favor of the Mustangs 21-7. Mike Roycc scored twice during the game, once on a pass from Bud Mixon. Mixon ran for the final score as Brcck finished a long season in victory. Over all, the team won one, tied one, lost four during the season. This may not be a good record, but because of the valuable experience gained, next year many of these boys will move up to help the Brcck Varsity.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Brcck basketball team opened their season on January 13, losing to Concordia 67-54. This was generally considered to be one of their better games. Steven Ross led the losers with 22 points with Richard Worthing and Bob Utne adding 10 apiece. Mike Fronk held two years all-conference Herb Pinskc to 30 points. Seven days afterwards an inspired Breck team defeated Shattuck 55-40. The boys realized that this would probably be the season’s most crucial contest, and simple desire made Brcck the victor. Steve Ross hit his season’s high with 30 points as did Mike Fronk who added 14. Shattuck’s Ron Sicx topped the opposition’s scoring column with 13 points. In the following weeks Minnehaha outshot Brcck 61-32, with fairly even scoring being found on both clubs. S.P.A. outraccd the Mustangs 4.3-25, a game won chiefly through the efforts of Stu Fobcs with an output of 20 points, and Burnside edged the Cadets 34-31. The first half of the season coming to a close, the Mustangs opened the last half with a loss to Concordia 55-44. Steven Ross outscorcd Dick Danowsky, 30-22. Dick was to become the league's top scorer. Losses to Shattuck 55-30 and to Minnehaha 59-39 followed. Shattuck's gym was greatly responsible for the misleading score—Minnehaha, always fielding a fine team, was unbeatable. Although leading at halftime 28-25, Brcck lost the season’s climax- ing contest to Blake 63-48. Jim Seed led the Hilltop-| crs with 22 f oints. Steven Ross failed to score the 21 points needed to make him the league’s top scorer by being held to 13. With a 1 and 10 record for the season the Mustangs, coached by Mr. Walton, came back strong in the annual M.I.S.L. basketball tournament to upset Blake 40-34. It was by no means the cagcrs’ best game of the season but a strong defense gave the boys an always sweet Blake defeat. Although Mr. Walton’s cagcrs lost to Concordia and S.P.A. in the final rounds, Breck placed fourth in tournament standings and showed vast improvement in teamwork and spirit. Captain Richard Worthing led his teammates in every game with rebounding and masterful playmak-ing. Stan Kozlak was the heart of the team’s spirit and was foremost in injecting a will to win—he always kept his teammates working to the best of their ability. Steve Ross paced the team in scoring while center Mike Fronk led in rebounds. Only juniors, these two will be a tough combination next season. Coming up from the J.V. were Jeff Haljxrrn, Howard Petschel, Scott Rahn, “Dcadcyc Hample, Bob Utne and Fred “Buckets Lade. Kich.ird Worthing s E N I O R S Stan Kozlak RICHARD WORTHING As the ’5H-'59 Brcck basketball captain, Dick showed bis leadership and ability by bard rebounding, timely shooting and a strong desire to improve. Captain Rich will always be remembered as the man who led the Mustangs in beating Blake. STAN KOZLAK As the other senior member of the team this year, Stan aided his fellow players a great deal. He ably played the position of guard on the first team anti proved invaluable there. As in everything else he did, he put his all into the game and many of our opponents found him very hard to go around. He truly was an asset to the team.

Larry Kane, Ford Robbins, John Hall, Brian i'altcraon, Bryan Arling JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL In the early part of the season the J.V. displayed extensive possibilities in developing a well balanced team, relying on Hample and Halpern for experience, and Hegcncr and Smith in the shooting department. Generally speaking the year seemed as if it would be an above average one. Unfortunately, due to the advancement of Halpern and Hample to the Varsity, and the ineligibility of others, the future of the team dimmed rapidly. One third of the way through the season it became apparent that we should play strictly a defensive game. However, it should be mentioned that the highlights of the season were the Concordia and Blake games. In the Concordia game it was evident that the Brcck team was a great deal more polished. They were able to work various plays successfully but were overpowered by the sure-shooting of the Concordia team. Chuck Hample, Dick Hegcncr, and Jeff Halpern, contributed in the shooting and rebounding departments, while Dave Smith. George Benesh, anil Wendell Burton were setting up our plays. Jefl Halpern scored 16 points, with Hample and putting in 5. The team showed real spirit and worked well under pressure, although losing, 40-22. The team lost all of their games by similar margins. As to the possibilities of next year, Mr. Skari feels that we should be considerably better, losing no one, and gaining a year of experience. Many of the J.V. cagcrs showed at times the spark of real potential, which will insure a brighter season for next year. The J.V. is actually a finishing school. The fundamentals are taught in seventh and eighth grades. Both the eighth and ninth grade basketball teams played four outside games. These games were mostly for cx| cricncc but they showed definite signs of improvement. The real reward will not become evident until they play in varsity competition. VARSITY HOCKEY Tommy Warner, who was our new- coach, sized up the material at hand and went to work. All during Christmas vacation and often at the ungodly hour of 5:00 on Sunday mornings he was there to give us advice and run us through a series of individual and team drills. The Friday after, the puckstcrs paired off against S.P.A. This was a heartbreaking experience for all concerned except S.P.A. for they won 3 to 2 in a sudden death overtime. The next team we were to face-off against were the Hilltopixrrs. The score was Blake 4 Brcck 0. We met Concordia the following Thursday. The score was Breck 4, Concordia 1. The two co-captains split the scoring, two apiece. The next day the Ponies played host to the Soldiers of Faribault. When the ice was vacated the third and final quarter the Shads had suffered a 6 to 2 loss. In completing the first round the Ponies squared off with Minnehaha Academy at the lee Center. It was a long drive home, for the team lost 4 to 0. Still suffering from the previous loss the boys drop[ cd the first game on the second round to S.P.A. The final score was 4 to 1 in favor of S.P.A. In trying to come back from this game the boys met Blake at the Ice (Center. The team played well that day but they suffered two losses, one due to Hitchcock's eye injury, the other just as obvious on the scoreboard. Blake 2 Brcck I. Because of the loss of Tim a few changes had to be made in order to fill the vacant defense position. Despite the changes the boys came through with a 3 to 2 victory over Concordia in their next game. The following Saturday the icemen visited Shattuck at Faribault. They played a poor game but were able to sneak out a 2-1 victory. Before the tournament they paired up against Minnehaha on Breck ice the Monday after the Shattuck game. They lost a tough one to the Indians, falling by a score of 5-4. This game gave us a 6-4 record for conference games, and left us in fourth place in the M.I.S.L. The following day the tournament started. Brcck drew the number one team in the Catholic Conference, St. Agnes. The Aggies came to the game that night expecting to go home with an easy victory. The Ponies put together a display of teamwork that was supplemental by their desire. Bill Ramsay found the cage four times to lead the team to a 5-0 victory. Tom Erickson put in a spectacular performance in the nets. In the semi-finals the team found themselves battling once again with Blake. The puckstcrs defeated Blake 4-3. It was an exciting moment for all concerned when the puck was dropped in the final game against Cretin. At the end of the third | eriod the score was tied 2-2. The Broncs held off the boys from Cretin for one sudden-death overtime, but Cretin became the champs when they snuck by goalie Tom Erickson, shortly after the start of the second overtime.

It will be a long time before we will be able to forget his brilliant defensive play in the Twin City Invitational Prep School Tourney at Williams Arena. As one of this year’s co-captains he filled his |)osition very ably and when he was more or less pushed to the defense [x sition by necessity, played it well enough to be chosen All-conference. Congratulations, Rod! S E N I R S No one has worked harder at hockey than Tim. Through the years you would see him doing the major work on the rink. In his Senior year he really came through and was a tremendous asset to the team. It was a hard break to all of us when in the Blake game he caught a puck in the eye which ended his season a little early.

JUNIOR VARSITY HOCKEY This year’s Junior Varsity Hockey Team came through the season with a three-five record and 1ms of valuable experience. When Coach Louie Mittcco came to the first practice, he was met by a group of smiling recruits, some of whom were unable to tie their skates. It was at this meeting that he saw the tremendous job facing him. His first step was to expose them to some films which showed the proper way to skate, shoot, turn, stop, cut, check and other fundamentals. The films were run as many as ten times before the boys got a chance to apply them. When the day finally came for them to climb over the boards it was met with much excitement. After about five minutes of actual skating Coach Mittcco wanted to revert back to the films again. He kept at it and before long, signs of progress were beginning to show. Louie took his time and did a thorough job. He knew that next year these boys would be on the varsity and they wouldn’t have time to learn these things then. As the first game approached the team had fairly well taken shape. In spite of their efforts they dropped a hard one to S.P.A. 3-2 and the following week they dropped another to the Hilltoppcrs. But, the weeks of hard work finally paid off the third time out when the JV puck-sters subdued Minnehaha. The second round was much the same story—losses to Blake and S.P.A. and another win over Minnehaha. They won one non-conference game to finish off the season. The most valuable gain by the boys this year was c. | cricnce. Boys like Mike Royce and Tom Whyatt will be on the Varsity team in future years and then the hours of hard practice will pay off. As the most valuable player the boys picked Mike Royce. There were three seniors who aided the team this year. Bill Ellison, Jim Barnum and Ron Antoine. Jim and Bill could be considered the real leaders of the team. In the future we expect to see great things come from the younger boys on this team. They will be our athletes of tomorrow.

There were a few seasoned players new to Brcck who added great-ly to the potential of the team. Bob Williams and John Hacking were two of the most outstanding players. With the coaching aid of Mr. Louie Mitteco all the boys were taught the fundamentals and rules of the game. They were very fast learners and as the season progressed the eighth graders grew in power and in the end tied the Junior Varsity in a well-fought contest. The members of the first team were as follows: John Hacking and Dave Hancock were the wings, Dick Reinhardt anti Robert Julen were at the defense | ositions. Bob Williams played center with Bruce Shaw playing goalie. In the game standings they tasted both defeat and victory. They lost to Blake twice but won with a shutout over St. Marks. The members of the hockey team did a fine job anil wc’rc sure the varsity and Junior varsity will be looking forward to their participation on the respective teams in years to come. VARSITY WRESTLING 1959 marked the third full season of varsity wrestling at Breck. We did not get off to an amazingly fast start in this ancient sport, hut we continued to improve in popularity and participation over the past two years. Although the Broncs did not chalk up a long list of wins this winter, they nevertheless continued in that fine tradition of improvement. The first match with Golden Valley surely did a great ileal to build up the Mustang’s enthusiasm for the coming contest when they surprised themselves by defeating the Valley team hands down. They followed up their first victory with a win over the University High School “B” team, but were forced to yield victor’s laurels when they suffered complete defeat at the hands of the mighty I)e La Salle Islanders. The last non-M.I.S.L. match was held with North High School. Our grunt-and-groaners came through to beat that team by the decisive score of 33-15. The regular conference season opened with the Mustangs meeting Concordia at Breck. It was truly a gallant battle but the big Dutchmen won over by a score of 20-17. The Blake Bears were the next to win over our wrestlers, and were followed by Shattuck who in turn whipped the Ponies badly. But, the Broncs were by no means broken. They came back to lose their next match with Minnehaha by only one pin anti then finally came into their own again by smashing St. Paul Academy 33-16. The Breck matmen entered in their second round with M.l.S.L. schools when they met Blake at Hopkins. Their hopes were high for this match but the Ponies could not make them materialize and lost to Bruin a second time. Concordia and Shattuck followed up Blake by each defeating our rock-and-rollers by fairly substantial scores. The last two matches of the season were held with Minnehaha Academy and S.P.A. The Breckstcrs felt they had a score to settle with the Indians because of their terrifically close contest in the previous meet. Thus, they showed a fine exhibition of wrestling, and won over their adversaries, tallying up 26 ( oints to their opponents 19. They continued to win by defeating S.P.A. in the final match of the year. The league tournament was held at Blake on February 21. The coach and team felt that they might l e able to make up for the jmor season by making a good show individually. Their hopes were not to Ik realized. Only three boys made it through the semi-finals but could not sustain their good fortune. Brian Gnauck took second in the 154 lb. weight class. Warren Lackic and Arlyn Lichthardt, who suffered a discouraging loss to Friedricks of Concordia, managed to grab a third in their respective weights. There will be only two seniors leaving the squad this year; so the future still has much in store for us. Shown hklow, u. to k.. back row: Arlyn Lichthardt, Mike Rex. Brian Gnauck, Roland Racine.

Arlyn was one jxrrson on the wrestling team who was ready for the season when it came. Having 3 years experience and a great liking for the sport he gave it all he had plus a little more. Brcck will always remember the determination to win he possessed when he entered the ring. His senior year was quite successful, bringing him 11 wins and 2 losses. He gave the team a very good example of a leader—that being he set the example. Sports fans at Brcck will not soon forget the casual but precise movements of Brian Gnauck as he worked for a take-down. Many will remember the strong, determined performance of maneuvers as Brian executed his favorite escape—the switch. Everyone will know that it was just the right combination of guts, determination, and excellent conditioning that finally led Gnauck to Ik second place 154 pounder in the MISL after 2 years of wrestling.

We know that such portions of the book as candids, sports, activities, and class pictures arc read anti appreciated. We also know that too often a very important section of our yearbook is overlooked. This is, of course, our advertising. Without this part of the book the production of most of the rest would be impossible. All told, the complete cost of our annual (engraving, printing, covers, and photography) is around $5,500. Of this only $1,700 or thereabouts is raised from sales. It is not hard to see that there is a considerable difference to be made up. Our advertisers give us about $3,500. We say give, because in actuality it is giving. With the limited circulation our book has, we arc the first to admit that our ads do not have much face value. The men who have purchased space do not consider this—they arc interested in our school, and the Mustang. As you look through the following pages (we have interwoven pictures this year as an added incentive) notice the names. They arc the names of many of the companies and men who arc leaders in the Twin Cities. Many anonymous donations have also been received anil for these we arc equally grateful. If you have the chance, please patronize these firms. We will appreciate your patronage as much as they do, for these people continually support our publications. They enable us to keep up the tradition of the All-American yearbook. Thank you very much, George Johnson Tim Hitchcock Co-editors, 1959 Mustang Congratulations to the Sufi of Brcck School on the publication of the 1959 Mustang. Breck School hat made a great contribution to the cultural develop ment anti progress of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota.
