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.

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.

Entered Breck 1956, football: j.v. (mgr.) 3,4; v. (mgr.) 5,6, basketball: j.v. (mgr.) 3,4, hockey: v. (mgr.) 5,6, baseball: v. (mgr.) 3. 4,5.6, dramatics 5, Service Award 5, athletic prefect 6. Ok oma± HooCin 3 jz[[ £.’Uj Tom is so valuable to Breck that they have kept him in the “cage” for four years, and many people have expressed regret that he will escape this year. In those four years he has been a team manager, and for the last two years, Head Manager of Athletics. This year Tom holds the post of Athletic Prefect. As a manager Tom has listened to many gripes, but he has taken it all in the stride of his job. He’s a hard worker, but never too serious to pass up a joke or two ... or three. A lot of his success can be accredited to his organizational ability. In anything from sorting athletic uniforms to guiding the senior birdseed sales Tom was a willing hand. Still much credit is due his V.W. bus. Tom’s route to the “butcher shop” would cure any casualty. Tom’s friendly greeting and smiling face in the halls has brightened the day’s of almost every student at one time or another. His readily offered assistance has many times come to the aid of students and faculty alike. For instance, he took over the pop sales at football games and a good pan of Homecoming preparations, just when it looked as if it wouldn’t get done. When Tom leaves, it will be very difficult to find a single person who would or could do the work that he did. I’ve just got to get out of that cage! 17
