George has been at Breck four years and he started in the eighth grade. You ask how this is pos- sible, well, he wasn't here in his sophomore year, but despite that fact he has still made an excellent rec- ord in the two before and the two after his sophomore year away. Football seems to highlight his high school career. While playing Blue football in his junior year, George started at guard. Because of his fight and intestinal fortitude he became a very fine offensive blocker as he pulled out of his line slot to lead the interference. Line backing was his meat, in fact, he hit so hard that his shoulder was painfully separated when he cut down a 180-pound De La Salle fullback. George showed this same eager aggres- siveness on the varsity squad the following year. Being one of the hardest workers, he rightfully earned a varsity letter. He also contributed greatly to the hockey team's success by managing it for two years. His present rank of guide sergeant, attained in two years, is a fine indication of his willingness to learn and his desire to improve.

Seaqeanl' JO!!-it Raimi fbaaid, lack entered Breck in his junior year and first became known as the Robot.', To those who have not seen Iack play football this may seem to be an odd nickname 5 however when you watch him run the ball off tackle, you can see from whence the name is derived. A vital part of Iack's life is one hobby that few people know about and that is his horsemanship. He is an excellent rider and is always trying to learn more about horses and the sports concerning them. lack also likes to fish and to hunt. Every summer he goes up to Canada with several of his friends and spends two weeks just fishing. As for hunting-someone had better warn the ducks and the game warden to watch for a boy with a big Buick and a bigger smile. Besides a wonderful sense of humor, he has a solid sense of rhythm. After school Iack will go home, sit down at his set of drums, and beat it out accompanied by one of his favorite rec- ords. Who knows, someday he may play with Stan Kenton.
