Mustang business staff 6. John Rcay should have been named “Participation Reay.” In his six years at Breck he has had his nose in everything from a handkerchief to a cup of coffee, and then some. John’s slim figure could lx found earn ing the cross or ushering at school convocations, playing in the now-defunct school band, or keeping people in the center of the dining hall during school dances by occupying those oh so dark comers! More important yet, he has the ability to meet people and make friends. Though not an intellectual giant, John can sell himself with a wonderful “gift of gab.” Perhaps it is this gift that keeps him in the top third of his class! Participation applies to John in the athletic sense also. Last year on the track team, he found a latent power for hurdling and put this power to good use by winning the low hurdles at St. John’s Relays (no relation). Last fall John received an honorable mention on the all-conference M.I.S.L. football team. In basketball John is an asset in any game. The school may forget “Eaglebeak’s” ’26 Model T, but for certain it could never forget his profile and sparkling spirit. 2a Yen, Mr. Lamson, he is rather a problem.

He opens his locker and out fall an “exit” sign, a “keep off the grass” sign, and a “no parking” sign. Not dismayed Luke continues on to his subject of all subjects, history. Lukcy is a reactionary, conservative, radical, liberal, Republican Dixiecrat. He has always got advice, be it in national or school affairs. Sometimes he has some pretty good advice too . . . sometimes. This Virginia bom babbling politician doesn’t leave his ideas either. There’s nothing that makes Luke prouder than to see his ideas come true. Boy you should have seen this guy work at the “Weekly Crow,” a very informal school newspaper. “Hoot knows his place. When the fellows are joking around so is Luke. Working alone, though, he is quite serious. He has a willing and eager mind. He also has a willing and eager spirit. Be it football, basketball, or track Luke has even-ounce of himself in what he does. With Luke goes a lot of “senior stories,” a lot of spirit, and a lot of Breck. 27 Whoooooo me?

WifUiam Scott Twins arc often contrasts or have contrasting qualities. Many times one twin is a forward, outgoing person and the other twin seems withdrawn or at least quieter. In many respects the Reay twins follow this. Bill Rcay is the quieter of the two. However, Bill should not be discussed in contrast with John because he is a different type of person and a wonderful boy in his own right. As mentioned above, Bill is quiet; this quietness is the result of judgement, though. Bill does not charge into things with banners waving; he thinks over his decision and carefully proceeds from it. This self-confidence of Bill’s always shows up in his school work. He does good, sound work. What is more important, Bill is consistent in whatever he does. This is typical in his athletic activities. Bill is a fine wrestler, having wrestled varsity for four years. In addition to wrestling he uncovered a new talent by becoming the top scorer on the soccer team. Bill is a lasting friend to those who know him. Many people, teachers and students alike, appreciate his respect for others. In Bill Reay Breck graduates a fine boy. Breck loses not a showpiece, but rather a person who adds depth and quality to any student body. After a sling-reay? 29
