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

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 1948. 12 years. J.V. Basketball, 2; Varsity Basketball, 3, 4; Varsity Track, 2, 3, 4; President, Senior Class; Student Council, 1, 3, 4; Prefect, 4; Glee Club. 2; Newspaper, 2, 3. (editor-in-chief) 4; Band Drum Major, 2, 3: Scholarship Award. 1, 2, 3. 4; Nelson Mathematics Award. 3; Harvard Book Prize, 3; Cum Laudc Society, 3- Michael Paul Fronk Mtke has been at Breck for 12 years. 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
