John Beaumont Hall It's almost five o'clock, which means the going home rush will begin soon. 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

(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

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.
