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

C adet Cdaptain 'IdJilliam Oheodore Cotillon And now, leaving on 42nd Street, is Bill Ellison in a cloud of smoke, dust, gravel, and a hail of miscellaneous parts from an old ’46 Chcv. 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!

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.
