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. So here’s farewell to that merry Marlboro man. Stanford, prepare! An ounce of mirth is worth pound of sorrow.”—Baxter

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. The Mustang never would have appeared had it not been for the efforts of the Assistant Fxlitor. Whether it was Glee Club, dance committees, or what have you, it was always this way with Mike. When Mike heads for the Ozarks and the Halls of Westminster in the fall, there will Ik a void on the campus that won’t Ik filled for a long time. His pleasant personality and good-natured disposition will truly be missed.
