MR. CHARLES H. KRENZ DEDICATION Brcck is a school which has been formed and served by many dedicated people. Each year the Mustang attempts in its limited way to recognize one of these persons who has given much to Brcck School. We dedicate our 1962 yearbook, composed, we hope, in the Brcck tradition of All-American yearbooks, to a man exemplary of the Brcck tradition of fine teachers, Mr. Charles H. Krenz. Every student, faculty member, or friend of Brcck School who has attended any program or convocation in the past twenty years knows this man, who has so ably provided the music for these occasions. Lest our reader should think that Mr. Krenz's tasks end with his talented musical contributions, a few other of his many activities at the school should be mentioned. Mr. Krenz was a res- . (f4. 7' -Pf idem master in the dormitory at the old school for eight years. He has taught English in every grade from the fifth up as teachers were needed. Mr. Krenz has been active as faculty advisor to both the Bugle and Mustang in past years. Last year he rc-introduccd dramatics to the Brcck scene. Such is typical of this teacher — he is always ready to step in and make something solid come about — for the good of Brcck School and its boys. Always ready to play happy birthday for some squeamish student or restart an off-key attempt at grace, Mr. Krenz, with his smile and congenial ways, is a student favorite. Our hats arc off to you, Mr. Krenz. We dedicate this book to you in the same spirit you dedi-acted the past twenty years of your life to Brcck School.

EXPLANATION OF THEME A circle is a unique thing because it has no beginning and no end. It is the most versatile symmetric figure, for at no one point is a circle out of shape. One part is identical with that part across from it. A circle is also a design with a history. The ancient Chinese took their cosmic forces of good and evil and surrounded them with a circle. Thus, the circle symbolized all power and knowledge. Other symbols of the circle arc perfectness, completeness, simpleness, and oneness. The reference to a “family circle is not uncommon. But this same figure of speech can be applied to a smaller or larger group. In any case, the symbols of the circle remain the same. With this in mind, the theme for the 1962 Mustang becomes “The School Circle.” This book is divided into five sections. Prececd-ing each of these sections there is a division page of similar design. A circle with a segment missing has been drawn in the upper left hand comer. Within this circle is the Brcck crest which symbolizes religion, courage, honor, and knowledge. It symbolizes Brcck School. Rays come out of this circle from its missing segment. These rays focus upon a picture which is typical of the activity and a theme which explains the activity. This design attempts to show that the school circle is incomplete without the activity which the missing segment focuses upon.
