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

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

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
