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

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.

Entered Brcck 1956, football: j.v. 4, (mgr.) 5,6. basketball: j.v. 4, (mgr) 5,6, track: (mgr.) 4.5.6, class secretary 3, Master's Award: social studios 2. science 2. German 3, Latin 5, State Ijtin Award 5, BugU 4,5,6 (editor). Wade has managed to establish himself as a sound, dependable student in his six years at Brcck. Academically, Wade is among the leaders of his class, and will probably remain so throughout college. Having discovered that success comes not without hard work, Wade was rewarded for his fine work in the fields of government and English by being selected last year to represent Brcck at Boys’ State. Everybody is proud of what he added to “his party.” Give Wade an inch and lie’ll take a mile . . . but in the right direction. He always makes use of individual capacity. Not being especially skilled in athletic competition, Wade has kept close contact with the sports nevertheless In-being a very dependable manager. Dependability has also made Wade a reputable editor of the Bugle. Again hard work made his efforts successful. What’s more important. Wade puts his efforts toward supporting others. If you see someone in a red sports jacket “swinging up a storm,” telling some “punny story, or going mad over a set of drums, it’s just Wade. In English class he’s the “jargon master”; where’s there is a drum set he’s “Kruppa II ; at dances lie’s “Elvis Unlimited.” As an individual Wade emphasizes his own capacities, but supports others’. Drat! The window’s stuck and the turn signab don’t work.
