Service Award 5, Emeritus honor roll, Form II prefect. jy ick az ion fy[i±fiou Through Mike’s gallant effort in continuously prodding the Director of Studies, Brcck Finally has for itself girl cheerleaders! “Mcese” in his three years at Breck has made many lasting friendships among his fellow classmen and underclassmen (and it's not just because he has pretty girl friends). Mike worked hard in everything he did, from athletics to academics. Last fall Mike often centered for the Mustangs. In wrestling and track as well, never was there a boy with so much determination. Hard work at the books also placed Mike frequently on the honor roll. What’s more, the second formers couldn't have had a better Prefect. The dance committees of the future will certainly miss Mike’s help and organizational abilities. And what is Mr. Owen going to do without Mike’s participation in the glee club? Remember the Homecoming poster contest? This was just an example of Mike's gimmicks for raising spirit in the school. Mike does have one fault though. He moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis! Brcck boasts a boy with an eagerness to learn, an ability to organize, and a capacity to work hard. Mike will long be remembered for his perfectionism and unyielding effort. 20 Your grade U 65!... 75?... 85?

Now that lie is about to graduate we know he .will go on to bigger and better things, maybe even a Volkswagen. “Len was always a mover, whether it was in cars, on dates, or in athletics. He was one of the “Three Horsemen’ on the varsity football squad and a member of the “Big Four” on the wrestling team. In the spring lA e is a mainstay on Breck’s baseball diamond. After a little prodding Lee really takes hold of a situation. Once he even claimed he was going to wrestle the heavy weight, 175, and 165 divisions all at once! “M.D.” is very active in things outside his studies. For several years now he has participated in the glee club and choir. He has spent his Saturdays working as a volunteer at St. Barnabas Hospital. No matter what he does, he really likes doing it. He shows this by his effort. Who will forget the frizzy little hair growing an unusually long way down Ia c’s neck, the thick rimmed glasses, and the munchcrs that give Lee the name of Beaver? You’ll never see Lee standing around. He’s a climber headed straight for the top. 19 Ya bctcha goorn!

J foxman. c Afzhon If someone yells “Nellie” and a fellow muttering about Swedes and Norwegians chasing through weeds answers, that boy is bound to be George Nelson. In looking at this big blond Scandinavian one might think he just came from the old country, but George’s personality and disposition would be a welcome sight anywhere and everywhere. “Nellie” is the most natural boy in the senior class. You can believe the things he says; and when he offers himself, you can be sure that there are no strings attached. He is honest and teachers need never expect involved excuses for the work he doesn’t complete. George is a refreshing individual, and no one could ever regret knowing him. George can be a hard worker whenever he desires to be, but he always appears fresh and untouched by the worries that plague many of the seniors. Many times students have responded with peals of laughter to the ridiculous predicaments he gets into. George doesn’t seem overly concerned about going along with the gang; he has helped foster music at Breck by his work in the glee club and band. In football “Limpy” has had a hard-luck season, being slowed down by injuries, but normally the ath- letic department receives much in efTort and results from this big boy. Every comer, hall, and classroom of Breck will miss the light of George’s smile and his good-naturedness. When he graduates, George will take with him a warmth and sincerity that will be difficult to replace. Once upon a time Rip . .. van . .. Win . .. 7.7.7! .
