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.

linterecl 1938, 7M yrs.g Private 1: lJ.F.C. 2: Technical Corporal 33 Activities Staff 33 Tennis l, 2: Perfect Attendance Z. eaafzaaal Phillip Nlcfen glare!! Those of you who remember him will never forget his amiable nature and his seemingly carefree undulating style of walking as he passed through the halls. Phil, having the second longest record of the senior class, has been at Breck for seven and one-half years. After seven years of schooling he joined the navy for a stretch of l4 months before returning for his last semester. Flying occupies most of his spare time. Aside from flying his own plane he is fortunate in having a private landing strip of his own on his farm only a few miles from Anoka. When his time is not taken with flying or driving some farm equipment, he likes to spend some of his leisure hours sailing or playing tennis. Maintaining the rank of technical corporal, he did many odd jobs around school such as running the motion picture projector. Throughout his last few years at Breck, Phil's activity and athletic programs were cut short and were spent a few thousand feet in the air so that he could master his hobby of flying. - Y . SSX Y V
