Entered Brcck 1958. football: j.v. 3,4, v. 5,6, basketball: j.v. 3.4,5, choir 5, glee club 5,6, band 3,4,5. yoi'rExt A little quiet and a little shy, but always friendly and courteous: such is a picture of “Pizza.” This picture also depicts a hard working dependable student and athlete. In school no one does his homework more conscienciously than Dale; In athletics no one works harder in practice or is more dependable in games. Dale played tackle for the first string football squad, wrestled in the winter, and hefted the shot during track season. The caption for this picture, however, is not “All work and no play make Dale a dull boy.” Dale is involved whenever there is something just for fun too. Dale was known for his heroic adventures in wild duck ponds. His week-end hunting extravaganzas were the talk of the school. Dale has also gained a little fame because of the “car” he drives. It is a funny contraption called an “-csoto.” Approach Dale and his first response will probably lx “What? Where? Who? Me? Oh!” After a laugh that could only be Dale's, he'll get down to business. Dale is a very casual and nonchalant boy. The picture is now complete. Here is a boy who works as hard as he plays, with seldom a worry. It must be a Rembrandt. Here comes the bride ... 24

Entered Brcck 1959, soccer: v. 5, 6, basketball: j.v. 5, wrestling: baseball: 4,5,6. Master's Award: chemistry 5, Cum Laude Society 5, National Merit Scholarship Commendation. Qon (Dafzby Though small in size Oak has done big things in the short three years he has been at Brcck. He was one of the two boys admitted to our class when we were sophomores, so he got a late start. He, however, wasted no time in making the Emeritus list and seriously threatening the Cum Laude list every marking period. He was one of the junior students admitted to the Cum Laude Society last year, and he has constantly proved that he was worthy of the award. Oak works very hard on school work, the Bugle, the Mustang, and as a student instructor in the chemistry lab. Athletically Oak is handicapped by his size, but he has found his place on the soccer team. He has lettered two years on the varsity soccer team. He is also a fierce competitor on the wrestling and j.v. baseball teams, and his assortment of basketball shots are a legend at Brcck. Oak has also added much to other athletics by his presence; he is one of the mast enthusiastic fans at Brcck. As a person. Oak is anything but small. He £p£aTio z is friendly and well liked — he was elected secretary of the senior class. Almost everyone has laughed one time or another at his sometimes odd jokes. He will be long remembered at Breck for his accomplishments and by the girls for what he didn't accomplish. 23 Think big Oak: it’s the little things that count.

Entered Breck 1957, football: j.v. ■ fro-rpt. M.V.P.), v. 6, hockey: v. 3,4,5.6 (cpt.), track: 3,4,5.6, Bugl, staff 5.6. 3rd place M.I.S.L. mile run 3,4,5. Jofm Wfiitnsy 'J )s.ijton “Like father, like son” — John’s father is banker and John has been treasurer of his class for the last two years. There hasn't been a large discrepancy yet, so John is trusted with the finances. John is also trusted with part of the destiny of Breck’s hockey team this year. He has played on the varsity team for four years and each year contributed his “all” to gain the respect of his fellow players who elected him captain this year. This respect is found not only in hockey but also in football and track. In football John's size is his only drawback and he has more than made up for it with heart. Last year he was “most valuable” on the j.v. and this year to everybody’s surprise, he started on defense for the varsity and in the last game scored on a long, determined run. In track all he does is run, and he is said to be one of the best runners in the M.I.S.L. John has also added a bright side to the school with his clever comments in his column, “Morries Stories,” in the Bugle. No one has escaped his barbs, but on the other hand, no one has resented them. This has made John one of the most successful journalists at Brcck within recent years. John will leave a gap in the school when he leaves, but it is certain that it won’t be in the finances. Breck will miss the hot-rod Falcon, and the sharp wit of John Peyton. 25 Eat, drink, and be Morric.
