 37 37 I Q zz H 5 4 ?; ° THEME One thing which is evident to us is the importance of doors. 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.

D E DI CATIO N Since the founding of Brcck in 1886, there have been many persons who have been very close to the school. 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!
