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.

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

Entered 1955, 5 years. Class Secretary, 1, 2; Vice-President, 3; Bugle Staff. 4; Baseball, 3; Track, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Prefect. 4. 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
