DOUGLAS HENDERSON. D.D. HEADMASTER This is Canon Henderson's seventh year at Breck. Throughout these years his chief aim has been to bring Breck to a position of eminence as an independent college preparatory school. With his aid Breck has been molded into an institution of the highest academic standards. The Canon was called upon this year to help us with the new program's giant stride forward. In addition to his other duties. Canon Henderson also teaches the senior religion classes. His students readily agree to the fact that his classes are always interesting and inspiring. These achievements can be directly attributed to the ambition, perseverance, and imagination of an educator that we arc fortunate to call our Headmaster. 6 MR. BRADFORD LAWSON, M.S. ASST. HEADMASTER This is Mr. Lamson's fifth year at Brcck. In these years he has stressed the importance of maintaining high standards—academic, athletic, and moral. In addition to his duties as Assistant Headmaster and Director of Studies, he has taught current affairs and coached eighth grade football and baseball. Mr. Lamson holds a B.S. degree from Mercer University and a M.S. degree from Boston University. 7 DEDICATION The place is the math classroom; the scene is a group of stupefied, staring students watching the teacher compute as I.B.M. never did. The place is the school lunchroom; in the scene there is a man standing on a chair, coat off, vigorously moving the group into whole-hearted cheer. These two situations would be easily recognized by any student who has had any contact with Mr. John Nelson. Besides being Breck’s answer to the adding machine, and its a-no.l cheerleader. Mr. Nelson has become a tradition. It is because of his friendship as a teacher and advisor that the I960 MUSTANG is dedicated to him. 8 BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE RT. REV. HAMILTON H. KELLOGG.

Michael Hamm Ankeny When there's a car nearby, especially a sports car, you will always sec Mike turning his head in excitement. He may possibly be thinking about how the car was built, or he may be thinking about what his next ''deal” will come out. Mike will always be remembered for his master plan on the American economy which he so faithfully carries out by the fast deals in the parking lot. Kidding aside, Mike is a very likeable person and has gained many friends in the two short years he has been here. His help in the athletic department will never be forgotten. He has already proved himself apt for the business world and should go far in the future. 22 Entered 1951, 10 years. Freshman Football, 1; J.V. Football, 2, 3; Freshman Basketball. 1; J.V. Basketball. 2. 3; Golf. 1, 2. 3, 4; Rifle Team, 4; F-S Dance Committee, 1, 2; Carnival Committee, 2, 3; Winter Dance Committee, 3- George Lewis Benesh George has been at Brcck for 10 years. In that time he has become one of the most spectacular personalities in the senior class. From his hay-day on the Junior Varsity football team to the title of the most accomplished kisser in the senior class, he has left his mark to be long remembered. Seriously though, George has contributed much to the school in the planning of many of the activities undertaken by the student body. His participation on the rifle team proved to be a great asset to the school. George will be missed in the future. 23 Entered 1956, 4 yean. Freshman Football, 1; Varsity Football, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Hockey, 1; Varsity Hockey, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President, 2; Winter Dance Committee, 4; Senior Prefect 4. James McKnight Binger In order to realize how great Mac's contributions to Breck have been ask yourself these questions. Who has had more desire and spirit than, perhaps, any person on the athletic field?” Who is a fine example of hard work and determination in the classroom? Who is one fellow all students admire and have a tremendous liking for? Each of these questions only gives a clue to the exemplary conduct, character and personality of one of Brcck's finest seniors. Don’t let this be misleading, however; Mac is no Greek god. He was bom with no more mental, physical or moral attributes than a million other average guys. But he has developed the one ability which eventually holds the balance between failure and success— discipline. As a result, we will always associate the name of Binger with the words—Hard Work. ■ 24 Entered 19-18, 12 years.

Thomas Edward Erickson Huh??!—The typical comment made by Tom. Tom is a hard person to find around school. If you can't find him at any given moment, find the fastest and neatest car nearby and Tom will be there, nosing around trying to find out what makes it tick. But, outside his great knowledge and love of cars, Tom excels in the classroom (when he is there). Tom is also a very good athlete. He never once missed a football game and was a great asset to the team. In winter Tom was the goalie for the Varsity Hockey team. It can be truthfully said that if it wasn't for Tom, Breck would have a hard time winning at all. Tom will be missed next year. 25 Entered 1948. 12 years. J.V.

In this span of time the name of Fronk has become a by-word to accompany 'brilliance in academic attainment. But, strangely enough, there is more to this 6 ft. 4 in. frame than an overgrowth of mentality. As a school leader, Mike has blossomed forth and has achieved the respect and admiration of his fellow classmates, who regard his honesty of opinion as the soundest of judgement. In the field of athletics, Mike will never astound a cheering crowd, but when his graceful right arm swings into the air two points are quickly added to the big center’s total. It is, however, in the field of journalism where Mike has added his greatest contribution to Breck School. The Bugle is primarily the work of Mike, who spends many a night burning the midnight oil over the galleys or rephrasing a late article so that the school might have a presentable paper the next afternoon. Yes, Mike is a senior that will go far in the world, for he has gone far at Breck. 26 Entered 1956, 4 years. Band, I, 2, 3. 4; Wrestling, 1, (mgr.) 4; J.V. Basketball. 2, 3; J.V.

The “Showboat'' will probably be in the lead. Seriously, John is not in a hurry to get away from Breck School, but is anxious to get home and hit the books. John is one of the best liked boys in the school. He may often be seen in the halls talking to a group of fellows. The usual topics of discussion are cars or girls. Is this normal? Besides being a verv likeable person, John is a hard worker. During his senior year he filled a very important job in a very capable way. He has been one of Breck's outstanding managers. Many of us appreciate the work John has done in this area of the athletic department. But when his services to Breck cease, we will miss them tremendously. 27 Entered 1952, 9 years.

Jeffrey Sorger Halpern Every morning, just after chapel had started, you would probably sec a White Plymouth pull into the parking lot. At the wheel, naturally, would be Jeff, who would by now be making a mad dash for the chapel and just time his grand entrance so that the speaker would have to start his speech over again. This is how a typical day for Jeff would start and before it was over you would be laughing at something he said or did. Often he would clear the serious air of a classroom set by a teacher with a clever joke or a sarcastic remark or relieve the drudgery of just another school day with an acid comment. Along with his sense of humor he has maintained the second best academic average in the senior class. On the athletic field he wasn't a three sport man, but in basketball and golf he did make himself known to the coaches. However, when Jeff leaves we will lose a good student and a loyal friend. 28 V f. Entered 1955, 5 years.

Charles Cornelius Hample Good time Charlie seems appropriate when speaking of Chuck as the comedian, as the basketball lay-up ace, as the barefoot contcssa on the dance floor, or the supplier of the approptiatc jokes at the inappropriate time. Chuck has always maintained the same humble air about him, even with his devastating hairline. In the field of sports, Chuck was known as Breck’s own Bob Cousy, and puzzled coach Mikklcson with his radical assortment of shots throughout the season. He was voted for two years the most valuable touch football player in Mr. Hudson's all-star division. Chuck has continually ranked high academically and accepted responsibility. Chuck’s personality attributes are many, and will leave a big gap to be filled by some cool underclassman. 29 Entered 1956, 4 years. Varsity Wrestling. 1, 2; Track, 1, 2; Mgr.

David Richard Hanson There isn't really a great deal to say about Dave. He is more or less the quiet type that adds joy to any festivities with his smile alone. He was one of the athletic managers these past few years and has helped to make sure that the locker room was kept clean and that everyone was present. One of Dave's recreations, when his time isn't consumed with school. work, is to fly. Dave can give talks on flying that would make anyone within hearing distance perk up their ears and listen. Dave can also answer questions on flying that would probably stump experts. When Dave leaves Breck there is going to be a large gap in the halls and classrooms without his beaming smile. 30 Entered 1957, 3 years. J.V.

James Monroe Hoffman In Jim's three years at Breck he became famous, and will probably be most remembered as the boy with the electric guitar. With his musical interest and ability he made several attempts at organizing a combo. Unfortunately it never really materialized, but Jim was still there lending his talents to the Breck band while playing his saxophone. liccause of his many and varied interests Jim was especially busy in his senior year. During the fall he could be found on the football field, but when it was Friday . . . Where Was Jim?!! . . . hunting, of course! In the winter he spent his afternoons on the rifle range. Surprisingly enough, on Fridays he would be on the wrestling mat competing in the 145 lb. division. Anytime that Jim returns to visit his alma mater, his wild tales of Detroit Lakes will certainly be welcome to those eager ears of sixth hour advisory. 31 Entered 1950, 10 years. Mgr.

Edward George Lamp You will find Ed at school bright and early in the morning and late at night. Within these many hours, Ed is constantly giving up something to help someone else. Without his presence it was doubtful that anything in school would be runnihg as smooth as it was. He has a way of easing tensions that might arise and has a deep understanding of those around him. Ed is planning to go into the ministry, and there is certainly no better person suited for the job. He will be missed next year, especially by the athletic department, which he so ably helped run. 32 Entered 1956, 4 years.

Howard Kenneth Petchel In the four years Howie has been at Brcck, he has gained the friendship of all who have come to know him. Whether it be in the classroom or out on the athletic field you could be sure that he was doing his best. Howie enjoyed athletics very much. During the fall he was a mainstay at his end position on the football team. Because of his aggressive playing he was a standout on the basketball team. In school his favorite subjects were History and Spanish. He was a walking encyclopedia on the wars in which America was involved. But, Howie will be most remembered for his tales of skin diving that kept everyone on the edge of his seat. Brcck will feel a loss but the college of his choice will gain a friend. 33 Entered 1956, 4 years. Football, I, 2, 3, 4; Co-captain V. Football, 4; Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Co-captain V.

William Barrie Ramsey Both Breck and Bill have grown a great deal in the past four years. Bill has developed a sense of leadership and responsibility, not only in the classroom and on the athletic field, but in all his everyday activities. Any student who has attended classes with Bill is aware that he has to put forth plenty of work and effort to master his subjects while, on the other hand, athletics seem to come easy to him. Bill has played varsity football for four years with great success. He has been on the all-conference team two years in a row, both in football and in Hockey. Because Bill spends time on what he is doing and docs a good job. he will find and attain his goals. i f 34 Entered 1957, 3 years. J.V. Foothill. 2; J.V.

Ford MacLaughlin Robbins It takes more than a scholar or an athlete to accomplish what Ford has done for Breck School. No, Ford isn't the best nor the worst in the class of I960, but he played a role in school life that no other person could. When there was a job to be done—like completing the present edition of the Mustang you could be assured that Ford would do his very best to see that the task got done and done well. The dropping of Breck's military program this year created the job for the class of I960 to be founding fathers, because a new type of system had to be installed. As one can suspect, this change-over presented its problems, and Ford was chosen to be one of the senior prefects. It can almost go unsaid—he did an excellent job. Whether Ford be put at the helm of a sailboat on Lake Calhoun, or in the halls of ivy at some eastern college, people will know that he is there to get a job done—and he will do it too. 35 Entered 1948, 12 years.

I Steven Grant Ross Steve has accomplished much in the twelve years that he has been at Breck. From the athletic field to the classroom, he will not be forgotten. In athletics he led the school from mediocrity to a school that could be proud of itself. He was elected to the All-conference basketball team two years in a row. In the fall he was out on the field early and earned a position on the first string of the football team. But, Steve doesn't spend all of his time on the field. Some of it is spent on his studies, but he also spends a great deal of his time with girls. He was seen at all the school functions and at all the class parties. Steve will be missed next year, but his accomplishments will be remembered. 36 Entered 1957, 3 years. J.V. Football, 2; Varsity Football, 3, 4; Varsity Wrestling, 2, 3. 4; J.V.

Douglas Arthur Shaw Doug Shaw is a perfect example of the fact that you don’t need size to become one of the most popular boys in the senior class. Despite his smallness, he was able to play on the varsity football team for two years and star in wrestling .for three years. Another one of his pastimes is his bright red Plymouth and his weekend binges with the ’■gang.’' Doug also likes to ski, especially at Aspen. He is often the center of attention at the social functions of the class. He is widely known as a sharp dresser and his parties have been noted for being lots of fun!!!! It will be a long time before a friendly little person, named Chub, will be forgotten by the students. 37 Entered 1956, 4 years. J.V. Football. 1, 2; J.V. Hockey. 1. 2; J.V.

Charles Healy Strothman Chuck entered Breck in the middle of his freshman year. Since then he has become well-known to everyone and has become a good friend to the school. He has been active in athletics and this year surprised us all by earning a spot on the Varsity Football team as first-string guard. This winter he did quite well on the wrestling squad in the rough 145 lb. division. In the spring Chuck was seen leading a pack of half-milers around the track. In the classroom he didn't lead the class academically but he put forth a good showing. Socially, he attended all of the dances and class parties. Outside of girls, his main interest is sailing. His name appears daily in the paper during the summer as a winner in the D class races. His future plans include attending one of the fine eastern schools. Kidding aside, Chuck’s loyalty to his school and classmates will be missed next year as much as his purple Dodge. Good luck. Chuck!! 38 Entered 1953, 7 years.

Stephen Stanley Wlosinski Steve is a boy of many accomplishments. He has been a strong support to any athletic team he has been on. In the fall he was out on the football team and earned a position on the first string as guard. When winter rolled around, one would see Steve working out hard on the wrestling mat. His participation in school affairs will never be forgotten. He was a member of the Student Council and was a senioi prefect in his last year. He played an important role in the development of this year’s Mustang.” Steve will be missed next year. 39 Left to right: Steve Wlosimki. Secretary; Bill Ramsay, Treasurer; Jim Hoffman.

CLASS OF 1960 The Gass of I960, if it is remembered for nothing else, will be marked in the annals of the school's history as the initial graduating class in a new Brcck era. Perhaps no group of seniors has had to face greater responsibilities and challenges. Besides having to renovate social and disciplinary facets of school life, these boys have also been under the pressure of an accelerated academic program. Classes have been more difficult and more time has been spent in studying. For the senior class I960 has been a year of hard work. And because of this concentrated effort, on a whole, results have been favorable. On the athletic field, desire has made up for any lack in natural ability. Although the football team finished with a rather disappointing won-lost record. Mac Bingcr, Bill Ramsay, Steve Ross, Howard Petschel, and other seniors did fine jobs. Seniors on the basketball court, the wrestling mat. and the hockey rink helped ignite more spirit and finer play than has been evident in many a year. They also ably represented themselves in the school’s extracurricular activities; Ford Robbins, Michael Fronk, Chuck Hample and Jeff Halpcrn were, to a great degree, responsible for the production of the yearbook and newspaper. Although under the pressure of an increased academic load, Chuck Hample, Jeff Halpern, and Mike Fronk did particularly well scholastically. Challenge and responsibility—these words have probably never had greater significance to us seniors. The class of I960 has faced both—and, most persons will agree, has done so successfully. MICHAEL FRONK President Class of I960 40 JUNIORS TOM ANDERSON JOHN BRF.KKE WENDELL BURTON � PETER CLIFFORD BEN COPPAGE BILL HELLER LARRY KANE TONY KORBA DAVE KRAMBER WARREN LACKIE JOHN MITCHELL GORDON MIXON JIM MONSON The Junior Class made its presence known throughout all phases of the school life. In every facet you could always count on a junior being in the picture. Many of the juniors attained exceptional grades on the numerous academic tests they received during the year. This group includes John Stubstad. Tom Whyatt, Brian Patterson, Tom Anderson, Ross Robins, and Larry Kane. Fifth form contributions in the field of athletics were also numerous. Many juniors became familiar figures to the sport enthusiasts of Breck. Every athletic contest had evidence of excellence and sportsmanship by class members. Members of varsity teams were Warren Lackie, football and wrestling, Bid Mixon, football and hockey, Dick Powell, football and wrestling, Dave Kramber, football and hockey, Mike Rex, football and wrestling, Tony Korba, Tom Whyatt, Scott Rahn, John Mitchell, Tom Anderson, Ben Coppage; Warren was named all conference and most valuable player. He also was awarded the Most Fighting Heart. Bud was the most improved player on the squad. These two athletes have been named next year's co-captains of the team. The class officers were Scott Rahn. Mike Rex, Jim Monson, and Warren Lackie, who were President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. SCOTT RAHN President Junior Class BRIAN PATTERSON DICK POWELL SCOTT RAHN MIKE REX ROSS ROBBINS CHARLES NORTON CHARLES OLSON MIKE SBOROV JEFF SHARP JOHN STUBSTAD BENNETT WHITE TOM WHYATT 43 SOPHOMORES Clothes do not make the man” depicts the sophomore attitude this year. Despite the drastic change from our customary battle jacket to our present bla2er, we have kept those inalienables with us. Scholarship is perhaps the most basic of alt these skills. It is one of Breck's purposes to turn out boys who can reason logically and apply their knowledge practically. The sophomores are fine examples of such a principle. Athletic ability is the phase of school life deemed holy by almost everybody. There is no need to turn any further in order to find a group of boys with more skill and determination. Kent Martin, Peter Johnson. Fred Jungcr, and Lee Sutton ground it out on varsity football. George Pattison, Bill Reay, Lee McDonald. Peter Johnson, and Mike Mishou wrestled for Brcck's varsity squad. PETER CLARK JOHN HEDIN RICHARD HEGENER GARY HOIBY PETER JOHNSON FRED JUNGER JOHN KAUSEL TOM KJELLBERG 44 WADE LARKIN lee McDonald KENT MARTIN MIKE MISHOU GEORGE NELSON Fred Junger, Peter Rennebaum, and Lee Sutton played varsity hockey. The rest of the class was notorious on the junior varsity squads. The sophomores whole-heartedly supported all of Breck's social functions also. Our most active participation went toward the annual Freshman-Sophomore Prom, though. As last year (since we helped then too) it was a real gala affair. Our officers were: Peter Johnson, president and student council representative; John Peyton, vice-president; Lee Sutton, secretary; and Peter Rennebaum. treasurer. Our class advisors were Mr. Krenz, Mr. Skari, and Mr. IJram. As sophomores we have a fine record behind us and all the potentialities for an even finer one ahead of us.

We have tried to do our share toward contributing to the scholastic, athletic, and social activities of the school. Academically there were several freshman boys on either the Cum Laude. Emeritus, or both rolls. In athletics, the ninth grade football team had quite a successful season. Several of the boys made the Varsity Football team. Freshmen are also represented on the Varsity Hockey, Basketball, and Wrestling teams and also on the Junior Varsity Hockey. Basketball and Football teams. The ninth grade was always well represented at all of the dances and other school functions. Through the help of all those in the class, our two booths at the annual school carnival were very profitable. The ninth grade, with an enrollment of thirty-five boys elected as their class officers: Bill Harley. President, Nick Goddard. Vice-President, Rod Keith, Secretary, and Fred Weber, Treasurer. With continual effort throughout the coming years, this class can rank with the finest in Brcck History. BILL HARLEY President Freshman Class CHARLES CARLSON DAVE DUEMKE JOHN EUASON ROBERT FRONK NICK GODDARD JOHN HACKING LARRY HALL DAVID HANCOCK BILL HARLEY CHARLES HESS SHELDON HOFFMAN BLAIR JENNF.SS ROBERT JULEN ROD KEITH TIM KJELLBERG ARTHUR KIRKHOF SHELDON LAGAARD CHARLES NEWMAN ALAN NORTON LEO OBERNDORF CHARLES PRESCOTT RICHARD REINHARD BRUCE SHAW JAMES WATSON FRED WEBBER 47 RICHARD WEIN ROBERT WILLIAMS BARNEY STEELE RICHARD YORE RICHARD ZOUBEK EIGHTH GRADE RICHARD BURRY ANDREW COLE TOM DENNISON RICHARD DESNICK BILL GOLLIET JOHN GROSS MAX HARSHBARGER DAVID JOHNSON THOMAS LEWEDAG ROBERT McCALL JAMES MIR1CK 48 The Second Form this year has proved itself tops in everything. Academically, at least one boy was always on the Cum Laude honors list while a few others were on the emeritus honors list. In sports, the Second Form Football team was only defeated once. In winter sports, the Second Form had many prospects of future athletes. The Second Form this year elected Steven Rader as President, Jay Peyton as Vice-President, Ricky Desnick as Secretary, and John Record as Treasurer. STEVEN RADER President Eighth Grade DAVID NELSON JAY PEYTON STEVEN RADER JOHN RECORD 49 KENNETH SANSOME JOHN SLATER NEIL STEIN MICHAEL TANGEN DAVID WALTHOUR SEVENTH GRADE The First Form, consisting of thirty-six boys, took over their upper school duties in September, with enthusiasm and interest. They have proved themselves academically by the number of boys on the honor roll. They have the beginnings of fine athletes and the next few years should show their ability in this field. The social aspects of this class also look good, and they are looking forward to many activities. Early in the school year the class officers were elected, and are as follows: Larry Ross, President; Jim Johnson. Vice-President: Bill Owen, Secretary; Jim F.bin, Treasurer.

The students take this action through their elected representatives in the Student Council. Such an organization therefore serves as the connecting link in the chain of school activity. There is one elected member from each class—the form president—and usually several members appointed by the faculty. Breck places emphasis upon building up virtues of good citizenship and cooperative effort, rather than an elaborate system of rules and regulations The Student Council directs all its efforts to this purpose. Social functions and obligations are one of its responsibilities. Such responsibility is excellent training in the all-important art of self-discipline which is so essential to the development of real men. 66 SEATED. Mike Frank, Jeff Halpcrn, and Chuck Hample.

JOURNALISM This Year, for the first time, the Mustang staff combined with the Bugle staff to form what is now known as the Journalism Department. Both publications used the same writing staff and business staff. The merging seemed to work out very well, in that it cut down the amount of work that was previously necessary to complete either the yearbook or the newspaper. The experiment also helped promote interest in the field of journalism and permitted time enough to teach a regular class on this subject. The school newspaper. The Bugle.' was under the editorship of Mike Fronk. who did an excellent job. His staff included everyone in the journalism department. The yearbook, The Mustang,” was under the able leadership of Ford Robbins and Brian Patterson, who co-edited the book. They used the same staff as the newspaper, that being Jeff Halpem, Chuck Hample, Bennett White, Bob Fronk, Bruce Shaw, Dave Hancock, Fred Webber, and Peter Clark. The business end of the publications was handled by Stephen Wlosinski and his assistant Bill Heller. 67 FIRST ROW, left to right: Rick Keith.

Now that the military was dropped, the band was able to play other pieces of music rather than marches. They put on a concert once a month, and in each one. had different types of music. From Pilgrims Chorus to such well-known numbers as the Red River Rock were heard during the winter months. The band consisted of such old die-hards as John Brekke, Jim Hoffman. John Reay, Ford Robbins, John Hall, Ross Robbins, and Larry Kane. But. new blood was also brought into the organization. John Hedin. John Fliason. Rick Keith, and Tom Whyatt Joined the Band in the fall. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Frank J. Kplar the Band increased its knowledge of music. It is hoped that next year more pupils will try out for the Band and thereby bring it up to the size it should be. 68 Left to right: John Larkin, Peter Clark, Gary Hoiby, Tom Kjcllbcrg, Gene Beaulieu, Barney Steele, and Kirk Bachler. DRAMA For the first time since the military was abolished, a drama class was formed. Although the group, under the direction of Mr. Krenz, put on only one presentation, it was well received. The presentation was an Old English comedy called The Pie and the Tart. The characters were Peter Clark and Barney Steele as the beggars. Kirk Bachler as the baker, and John Larkin as the baker s wife. The play was presented the first two weeks in April and was a success. It is hoped that next year there will be more participation in this activity and that more productions may be accomplished. 69 FIRST DESK: Burney Steele. SECOND DESK: Leo Obcrndort. Fred Webber.

Rustad. upper school Biology teacher, and ten hoys formed the science club, or Breck School Chapter of the Audubon Society. The)- met regularly each Friday as an extracurricular class and the members each received one-third of a credit for the year. On February 19. 1960, the Science Club awoke from its winter hibernation by tramping into the wilds by the Mississippi River in front of the school on its first field trip of the new year. They also went on several other field trips throughout the year. Another group, called the Microscope Club, met every Friday. The club was formed to accommodate the many students interested in the field of microscopy. Because of too many members the club membership was limited to those pupils of the ninth grade who had a grade of 85 or better in Biology. This group's picture is shown above. ••The picture above is of the Microscope Club. A picture of the Junior Audubon Society was not available. The members of the Society were Dick Burry, David Johnson, Tom Lewcdag, Jim Mirick, Robert Mudge, Dave Nelson. Ken Sansomc, Neil Stien. and Mike Tangen. 70 Seventy-six trombones minus 73.

The carnival is given every year by the Mother’s Club as a profit-making venture and, what’s more important, as a delightful way neighbors, friends, parents, and students to become better acquainted with one another. This year's gala festival was hailed as the best yet produced. The entire lower floor of the school was flooded with carnival apparatus which provided wonderful variety, unending fun and excitement.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Three weeks before school started twenty boys showed up at Brcck clearly showing the detrimental” effects summer has on one's condition. All, however were eager to get on their football equipment and out on thp field for there, all decked out in baseball sweat shirt and Gopher football pants, was Pinky MacNamara. What a season this was going to be! Bob Aarthun. director of athletics, was to assist Pinky by training the line while he worked with the backficld. Those tackling dummies (human or otherwise) were never hit so hard. The field was never so churned. Pinky had scheduled the Mustang's first games outside the MISL league. The teams were chosen not so much to really grind it out with as to condition the team. We came out on top with Rosemont. Prior Lake, and Fridley. League games, however, brought back the same trite situation—Breck at the bottom. It was against every feasible conception but in spite of our continuous training and previous victories we just could not click. A few of the games were really close ones, though—so close it makes me sick to think of them. Though the Mustangs will be losing a good deal of their strength this year from seniors graduating, the spark of determination is a long way from being smothered. Pinky will be coming back and most of us will also. Together we will aim for the highest. Coach Richard Pinky McNamara.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL In the last few weeks of August practice was called for both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Football Teams. Under the direction of Dr. Lewis W. Barnes the J.V. team progressed with great strides. By the time of their first game they were supposedly rated to beat their first opponent. However, the)’ lost. As the season progressed the team continued to have its losing streak. But, in the last game with Minnehaha the)' pulled ahead at the half and kept the lead to win. Although the season record was not great, the team hopes to improve and come back next year wiping out all previous records. 92 FIRST ROW, left to right: Jim Watson, Richard Zoubeck, Dave Hancock.

Practice started in the first week of school in the fall and continued until the last week in October. In this span of time the ninth grade improved to the point of reasonable master)' and played several games. It is the hope of the team that they may improve so that they may benefit the other teams and may improve their record next year. 93 FRONT ROW, left to right: Jeff Steward, Max Harshbarger, Dave Mitchell, Bob McCall.

Later, on the 22nd of January, Ross was again high scorer, with 16 points. Yet they lost 48-37. Breck's streak held when they lost to Concordia, on the 27th. with a score of 54-39. Then. Blake was our foe again and for the second time Breck beat them 48-39. The last five games were all lost—Shattuck 55-32, S.P.A. 62-55, Minnehaha 50-37. Concordia 68-58. and 62-53 in the M.I.S.L. Tournament. Although the record wasn't good for I960, the players gained valuable experience. Steve Ross, who was captain, usually was high scorer in the games. One of the most outstanding additions to the Breck sports faculty was Vem Mikkelsen. A former Laker player Mr. Mikkelscn is new at the job of coaching High School ball. He taught the players numerous helpful hints for basketball and himself learned the difference between pro and high school ball. Like the players, he will gain valuable experience in these first years.

The team was helped by Burton and Smith, who were cut from the Varsity. Along with these two valuable players, some of this year's sophomores were very helpful as team members. Dale Peterson, who plays the center position, was one of the most noticed men on the team. With his skillful ball handling, he was a great asset to the J.V. Randy Schapiro, guard, added many points to the score. George Nelson, besides his excellent work under the basket, would have won the game with his grin if nothing else. Rader, Kane, Causcl, and a freshman, Goddard, were also valuable players. Even though everyone overlooked Hoiby at first, he delighted us all with his spectacular score of 43 in the intramural games. The J.V. Basketball team is actually a finishing school. The fundamentals are taught in 7th and 8th grades and then valuable experience is obtained as J.V. members. But the real reward will not become evident until they play in Varsity competition. 100 FIRST ROW, Left to ri ht: Coach Aarthun, Burr)-, Ross. Mudcc, Dcsnick, Gollict. Walthour, Gross.

VARSITY HOCKEY With Tom Warner still at the position of hockey coach, the team went through another rough training year. This year Breck played better than last year with a 5-5 0 record compared with the 6-4-0 record of last year’s team. Since only two members of last year’s team graduated, we had. basically, the same membership, adding only a few newcomers. This year the team lost only three players, these being Bill Ramsay, Mac Bingcr, and Tom Erickson. All arc stars on the team at the positions of forward, defense, and goal tending respectively. The most important game of the season for the Broncs was the win over Shattuck with an atrocious score of 13-0. After this win the Ponies went into the tournament confidently. Unfortunately, they drew Cretin as the first team to play. Cretin, being a powerful contender, overpowered Breck with an 8-1 victory.

A new idea—that of having the Varsity and J.V. squads practice together for the first weeks—was employed with much satisfaction. Eventually the squad was cut and a dozen boys turned out for J.V. practice. For three weeks everyone, including the coach, just skated. Then the basic fundamentals were taught. The plays were much the same as those used by the Varsity. The season started agatnst Blake, but the Mustangs fell before the experienced Brownies. Other games included: Minnehaha (Breck lost 2 to I in the last 30 seconds), S.P.A.. Hum-bolt. and Blake again. This year's team was made up mainly of freshmen and the Varsity' may look forward to these boy's services in seasons to come. 104 FIRST ROW. left to right: McPhail, Slatter, Smith. Cole, Peyton.

VARSITY WRESTLING I960 marked the fourth full season of varsity wrestling at Brcck. Even though the team wasn't victorious it had a great spirit towards winning. Rev. Campbell again this year did his best to teach the sport to the wrestlers. This year the team had only two non-conference meets. The first was with University High School who forced the team into defeat; the second was with Golden Valley, who the Mustang's forced into defeat. The loss of a few members of the' team came as a hard blow. Since the start of the official season the matmen had tasted the bitter fruits of defeat, liven though the Ponies did their best they just couldn't rally enough points to win. The team as a whole may have been defeated, but many of the matmen came out victorious. This year only three seniors left the team, so the future still has much in store for the wrestlers. 106 WRESTLING SENIORS STEVE WLOSINSKl CHUCK STROTHMAN DOUG SHAW I ' THAT REX STYLE...???'
