All the students of Brcck make themselves felt in one area or another in school, but no one has done as much in as many areas as Pete. It is only necessary to look at the list of his awards to see his worth. “Perfectionism in responsibility seem to be the key words in Pete’s mind. He has won a place of respect in the eyes of all his classmates because they realize his sense of responsibility. Pete has been elected president of his class for the past five years. (This year he was class vice president.) That he is Senior Prefect seems to say what the faculty and administration think of him. One of Pete’s outstanding achievements is in the field of journalism. He was a Bugle writer one year, became editor of the Bugle the next year, and this year was editor of the yearbook. This Mustang shows the quality of his work. Pete’s desire and determination arc evident in athletics as well. He was a keystone on the football squad, a topflight heavyweight wrestler, and a promising shot putter. When a boy is this outstanding, one of the best compliments that can be given him is to say that he is human. Pete is human and one of the best liked boys in school. It will be many years before Brcck finds a boy who will work as hard and accomplish as much as Pete. 15 Go cast, young man. go cast.

John has been around Brcck ever since fourth grade and you can tell it; the qualities Brcck seeks to develop arc ground into John to the core. Scholastically, John achieves his grades through genuine effort. This quality follows him wherever he goes, especially out to the athletic fields. John is known as the “sparkplug” of Brcck's teams. His hustle and desire in football, for iastancc, have helped him overcome his size disadvantage and made him one of the best centers Breck has had in many years. This same hustle helps all the other members of the teams, too. In wrestling and golf John works just as hard. Along with gaining the respect of his opponents in athletics he has gained the respect of all his classmates. He is well known for his ability to give and take a joke. Many of these jokes concern his “roller skate” (Volkswagon), which the girls-think is “cute.” His fame is no less in the field of big game hunting. Week-ends could never come fast enough for “Big John” and his 30-30 brush rifle. A person with nicknames is a person people enjoy knowing. John's more notable ones are “Kooz- ic and “Fuss.” He is a joiner, participating with all the fellows and not just one group. John will recharge any gap with a spark. 14 Zat’s etc end of dat foose!

It seems that everything you say about some people is good. Such is the case with Fred. He is easy to get along with and one of the best liked seniors. Fred is a casual worker, but a dependable worker. This coupled with the class’s confidence in his leadership has made him the senior president. Academically, Fred has a very creative mind. He ranked highest in the Scholastic Aptitude Tests and was the only senior to qualify in the National Merit Scholarships. Fred is a very practical fellow. He has a “working” knowledge. You might think that Fred’s academic achievements have made him one-sided. But “Fuzzy” is very active socially, also. He attends all of Brcck's dances, his dates coming from near and far. Another big point to add to Fred’s list of activities is his athletic interests. For the past three years, his outstanding work on the football team have earned him the nickname, “Tank.” He is an All Conference offensive guard. Also, in hockey, Fred makes his team spirit and drive felt. Incidentally, Fred has earned 11 varsity letters. Fred’s amiable personality and wide range of talents have made him a success in whatever he docs. It is a compliment to Fred that he has kept so natural and unaffected by the things he has done. Breck is a loser because Fred is the type of person a school loves to see come and hates to sec go- J 16 So he thought that this would fox me.
