2 B B E C K M V S T A N G 3 MHC •frn DEDICA TION Canon Henderson was born in New Brunswick, Canada. He is a graduate of Bridgewater High School in Nova Scotia and the University of King’s College. After his ordination in the Spring of 1941, he became the pastor of Georgetown parish, Prince Edward Island. In 1946, he came to the United States to become Director of Christian Education at the Church of Saint John the Evangelist in Saint Paul. He was made a canon of Saint Mark’s Cathedral in 1948 by Bishop Keeler. In the same year Canon Henderson was appointed the first Director of Christian Education for the Diocese of Minnesota. In addition he started a camping program at Cass Lake and taught at the Carlcton Summer Conference for six years. On January 1, 1953, he became Rector and Headmaster at Brcck School. Canon Henderson’s sincere objectiveness and diligence toward Brcck School and the well-being of its students have caused Brock’s advancement to its present position. For these primary reasons the 1963 Mustang is dedicated to him. 4 ASSISTANT HEADMASTER This is Mr. Ilslcy’s first year at Brcck. He comes to us from a teaching position in an Oxford, Michigan school. Mr. Ilslcy is a native of Milwaukee, where he attended Milwaukee Day School. He later traasferred to Asheville Preparatory School in North Carolina. Mr. Ilslcy received his A.B. from Princeton and last year was awarded his Ed.M. by Harvard University. From 1951 to 1955, he was a jet pilot in the Navy, sta- tioned pan of that time at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mr. Ilslcy has given his best efforts to the school and has filled a challenging position very well. The entire faculty and student body wish to thank Mr. Ilslcy for the excellent year he has given us. We are looking forward to having him at Breck for many more years. 5 MUSTANG STAFF 6 CONTENTS 7 Lower School Advertising HISTORY AND EXPLAN A TION OF THEME Brcck School was founded seventy-seven years ago in Wilder, Minnesota. It was named in honor of an early Minnesota missionary, the Rev. James Lloyd Breck. As an institution of learning for boys and girls of the community surrounding Wilder, Brcck School flourished for several years. In 1917, under Dr. Charles Edgar Haupt, the physical plant of the school was transferred to St. Paul. In the following years, the school prospered with Dr. Haupt’s direction and guidance. However, after his passing (during the 1940’s), Breck School suffered a series of setbacks. When the picture looked bleakest for the school, in January of 1953, Canon F. Douglas Henderson was appointed Headmaster. During the ten years in which he has served Breck, Canon Henderson has helped the school immeasurably to regain and even to surpass its former eminence in the field of secondary education. The three sections of this yearbook represent an attempt to show what Canon Henderson has done for Brcck in the past ten years and what plans he has made for the future. 8 PAST Although Brock School was beset by financial problems. Canon Henderson began immediately to improve the academic curriculum. He was aided by such gifted and loyal teachers as Mr. Nelson, Mr. Krcnz, Mr. Heascr, Mr. Uram, and the late Mr. Jonnard. In January of 1957, the school was moved to a more modem and efficient structure in Minneapolis. To emphasize the new academic curriculum at Brcck, the military program which had come into existence during World War II was abolished following the ’58-’59 school year. As a result of the work of Canon Henderson and Mr. Lamson, the former assistant Headmaster, the academic program continued to “stiffen. Three years ago, Breck was permitted to have its own chapter of the Cum Laudc Society. The story of the past academic year has been included in this section of the book. Here we find illustrated the fruits of the last ten years of progress under Canon Henderson. The graduating seniors, who have done thier best to contribute to Brcck’s high standards, arc likewise included in this section. 9 From left to right. SITTING — Nick Goddard. Mr. Jenkiiu, Dick Yore.

Except for the fact that the Headmaster tends to “speak softly and carry a big stick,” Breck is a democratic community. Through the Student Council, the student body voices its wants and needs. The class representation has been increased this year to two boys per class — the president and the vice president. The Student Council elected as its officers: Bill Harley — president, Steve LeMoine — secretary, and Bob Fronk — treasurer. The Reverend Mr. James Jenkins was the faculty advisor. During the past school year the Student Council dealt with the Homecoming button sales, the Homecoming Dance, the United Fund Drive, the design and manufacture of a new school patch, the rewriting of the Student Handbook, the Midwinter Formal, the St. Barnabas Hospital Volunteer program, and near bankruptcy. The Student Council is a basic part of Breck School, consisting of a few who represent the whole for the good of the school. 10 From left to right: Mr. A. G.

They also handle the school’s financial program. The Board meets four times annually. At these meetings it discusses such projects as long range planning, transportation, and finance. Bishop Kellogg serves as Chairman of the Board. Reuben L. Anderson (Vice-Chairman) acts in the capacity of chairman for the meetings. Each member is elected to a three-year term, with the Executive Committee being exempt from this rotation. The Executive Committee is composed of the following: Mr. Reuben L. Anderson, Mr. Walter Andrews, Mr. J. H. Bingcr, The Reverend Canon F. Douglas Henderson, Mr. Morrow Peyton, Mr. William Powell. II From left to right: Mr . Wm Champion, Mr . R. W. Yore, Mrs. M.

Schuster, Mrs. Wm. Cordinglcy, Mr . Fred L. EXECUTIVE BOARD MOTHER’S CLUB The Brcck Mothers’ Club is an integral part of the school. Its objectives arc to promote closer relationships among the mothers and to promote projects that are beneficial to the Mothers’ Club and to Brcck. The board consists of the officers of the club, an alumni representative, and the chairmen of the standing committees. General meetings arc held approximately five times during the year, with the board convening at least six times to plan and discuss activities. The two main functions during 1962-1963 were the rummage sale in the fall and the February luncheon and style show. With the proceeds of these events the Mothers Club furnished the second grade and the history room with new desks and tables. Also several other contributions were made to the school including a coffee service for the Board Room. The executive committee consists of President, Mrs. William Cordinglcy; Vice-President, Mrs. G. L. Schuster; Recording Secretary, Mrs. F. L. Webber; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. W. A. Champion; Treasurer, Mrs. Fred Hayes; and Assistant Treasurer, Mrs. M. G. Hathaway.

COLLEGE REPRESENT A LIVES Brcck is fortunate to be visited by representatives of many of the nation’s better colleges at various times throughout the school year. All interested juniors and seniors are to have interviews with these representatives. The students arc thus able to obtain information concerning the colleges that they would not otherwise learn without the they would not otherwise learn without the bene- fit of a campus visit. Such visits are, of course, often impossible. These interviews arc supplemented by conferences with Mr. Ilslcy and the student’s faculty advisor. In this way, each boy has an opportunity to discover for himself which institution of learning offers the course of study best suited to his long-range goals and ambitions. 13 Mr. Smith of Harvard talks with a prospective applicant. Mr Ervin S. Stockwell B A. M.A. English and Bugle advisor ENGLISH The new philosophy in the English program at Breck School recognizes not only the ever present need for practice in writing, speech, reading comprehension, spelling, and vocabulary, but also takes into account the need for a coherent grasp of the traditions of English and American literature. With this in mind, a program for the six forms of the upper school has been evolved, subject of course, to change and improvement as experience directs. At present, in Forms land II, in addition to the usual fundamentals, students are being introduced to the novel, drama, satire, Greek and Roman mythology; in Form III students arc exposed to the short story, precis, biography, traditional and modem poetry, the essay, and novel. Form IV deals with a survey of American literature, beginning with Colonial times and extending to the contemporary period. Emphasis on outside reading, precis writing, and grammar, of course, is con- tinued. A survey of English literature is the predominant concern of Form V, though the short story and creative writing arc stressed during this year as well. Form VI is devoted to a study of individual classics representative of their respective eras. These are drawn from both European and American literature. It is hoped that such a study will prove of greater value after the student's exposure to the more elementary survey courses. VVriting related to the readings is stressed during this year as well. All students arc required to read one book per month outside of class during the school year in addition to the summer reading. Generally this reading is designed to fit in with the subject material under consideration in the respective classes. The English department also has a file of recordings and has access to the University of Minnesota films library whenever the need of audiovisual aids is felt. 14 Faces eager for knowledge. 15 . . . To one part water. Gee this math comes in handy. Mr. Earl Hovland, B.S.. M.A. MA THEM A TICS The texts for the Brcck School math courses in the seventh and eighth grades were prepared by the School Mathematics Study Group at Yale University. This organization operated under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. It was composed of many of the nations top mathematicians and educators who were asked by the Federal Government to write an entirely new math curriculum which could be used directly by schools or which could be incorporated into commercial texts. Brcck is using pure SMSG materials until the modem concepts and approaches are satisfactorily incorporated into standard books. One of the major changes in the new course is the early development of number theory. Arithmetic and algebra arc based entirely on the theory of numbers. Traditional courses in these areas arc concerned primarily with rules and methods for solving problems. Then, in the student’s third year of college math, he studies number theory which gives him the reasons for the rules and methods that he memorized in arithmetic and two years of high school algebra. However, at this point it is rather difhcult and time consuming to go back over all of these processes to determine the “why’s”, so it is rarely done. The SMSG approach teaches number theory from the begin-nig, on an elementary level of course, to give the student reasons for all of the mathematical processes he is taught. For example, he isn’t simply told to invert the denominator and multiply in the division of fractions; he is shown why this will work through a development of the general properties of numbers. Mr. Richard Yonkcr Is introducing the new math program this year. He will move up with the same group of boys, teaching the eighth and ninth grades next year, etc. Mr. Earl Hovland will follow him, teaching seventh grade next year. Also, present plans include the introduction of a modem math curriculum to the entire elementary school next year. 16 As usual there is always one asleep in math class. 17 SCIENCE Considering the many medical and scientific breakthroughs, it is necessary for every college-bound student to have at least a basic background in the principles of science. The Brcck course of study accomplishes more than the minimum requirement. In the eighth grade there is a required course which prepares the student for biology, chemistry, and physics. In the ninth grade all boys take an extensive course in biology, and in the junior or senior year they take a course in chem- istry. If a person is interested in organic or inorganic sciences he may take biology II and physics in his senior year. This year the P.S.S.C. (Physical Science Study Committee) course replaced the conventional type of study. Also, to keep pace with the ever-changing field of science, the chemistry department has been using some of the movies and experiments taken from the new Chcm Study, which is comparable to the P.S.S.C. 18 There’s always one backward student in the class. Mr. Ronald Marr, B.S. and M.A. physics and chemistry Fronk tells a biology story. Mr. Michael Uram B.A., M.A. Spaniih and Latin Mr. Goff Owen B.A., M.A. German and Glee Club LAJVGUA GES Foreign languages have always been a requirement at Brcclc. From an offering of two languages in the early years, the program has been expanded to include Latin, Spanish, German, and French. Today, French is required of all students in the fifth and sixth grades and it may be continued in successive years in the upper school when Latin becomes the required course. If a student maintains a degree of success in these languages in the seventh and eighth grades, he may continue them in succeeding school years. Thus, he can fulfill the foreign language requirements of most colleges at the end of the sophomore year. German and Spanish arc elective in the third form. One of these is required of boys who have not had any previous language. This is to accommodate the boys who may have an interest or a need for a modem language but who have not participated in the French program begun in the fifth grade. The entire foreign language program has been greatly strengthened by the addition of the language laboratory where the foreign language becomes more dynamic and practical. Listening practice, pre-conditioned in the classroom, emphasizes the phonology of the language through re-combinations and pattern alterations. From the oral-aural patterns better reading and writing habits arc obtained. With this variety of languages the Brcclc student can amply fulfill the foreign language requirements of any college in the country. Universities now demand at least three years of one foreign language, since they recognize the deficiencies of past programs and since they acknowledge the importance of knowing the language in understanding the culture of the country. 20 21 RELIGION At Brcck education means more than improving the mind or preparing a person for further formal education. It is concerned with helping each boy find worthwhile moral and ethical values and standards upon which he can make responsible decisions and commitments now and in later life. It gives each boy the opportunity to deepen his relationship with God through worship. Our worship services stress the connection between faith and life at home and at school. Thorough courses arc given which help each student gain a deeper knowledge of his Judaco-Christian heritage. Here too, the “here and now” relevancy of faith to life is seriously considered. We feel strongly that the value of education is greatly lessened unless it is directed toward the best and most worthwhile goals. Knowledge, which is not combined with or directed by faithful obedience to the source of all truth, God Himself, is hardly adequate in a world where men arc most influenced by the power of commitment, whether it is to falsehood or to truth. An informed mind, a sound body, a sensitive spirit, and a life based on lofty objectives form the high ideals set for the Breck boy. Senior chapel speaker. “The body of our lx rd Jesus Christ... The new chaplain — The Reverend Mr. Jenkins. Refreshment for the body. 23 The Corporate Communion Breakfast Now North Dakota should go all the way out to here. HISTORY The Brcck student must learn to think critically regarding the history of his country and of the world. The history program aims at developing the ability to select truths with an open and unbiased mind, to weigh evidence, to equate differing view points, and to organize ideas into meaningful patterns. Geography and American history arc taught in the seventh and eighth grades, respectively. The course offered in the sophomore year deals with the history of modem Europe. In the junior year, a more comprehensive American history class is required of all boys. United States government and political science is an elective open to seniors. In this course, the student achieves an understanding and an appreciation of the nature of his government and of his responsibility as a member of that government. He develops a love of and a loyalty to his nation. Mr. C. J.

It is the purpose of the Brcck School athletic program not to create All-Americans but to develop leadership, a sense of loyalty, and teamwork. Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Aarthun, the Brcck athletic teams have grown in number and in strength. Since he came to Brcck both tennis and soccer have been added to the sports program. Even with the small number of students here Brcck teams have been becoming, on the whole, consistently stronger. 25 Mr. Philiippe Verbrugghen Director of Lower School Athletics From left to right, FIRST ROW: Stephen LeMoine, William Harley, Nicholas Goddard, Richard Yore; SECOND ROW: Barney Steele, Charles Carlson, Robert Williams, Robert Fronk. PREFECTS Since the prefect system was initiated at Brcck three years ago, the program has grown in importance. In 1960, the main functions of the prefects were representation of the Headmaster in the Student Council and the maintenance of discipline in the school. Because the prefects are seniors, they arc expected to set an example for the rest of the school by being first class citizens. To these obligations has been added the duty of keeping order in the study halls. The prefects, need- less to say, must be well-liked by the students as well as the faculty. They should also be able to mix well and participate in almost every area of school life. The prefects themselves, as well as the school, derive many advantages from this system. The boys arc better prepared for the experiences which they may encounter at college. The qualities of leadership and self-reliance are more fully cultivated. 26 From left to right: Alan Norton, trraiurcr; Bill Harley, vioe-prwident; Nick Goddard; prrri-dent; and Steve Kingibury, tecreury. SENIOR CLASS The atttiude expressed by most of the members of the senior class is usually one of surprise and wonder that the group has “gotten through with so few problems. This year, the graduating class as a whole has had a good high school record. All of the seniors arc proud of Brcck School and what it has done for them. Still, our class has tried to follow the paraphrase of President Kennedy’s motto, “Ask not what Breck School can do for you, but ask what you can do for Breck School. They have done their best to live up to the high standards, both academic and athletic, that have been set for them by the faculty and administration. The boys have achieved a fine record both in their courses and in national standardized tests. This year’s graduating class has also actively participated in the school’s sports program. They have striven to develop their natural talents in each contest of every season. The senior class has been well prepared here at Brcck for the future. They will attend colleges and universities across the nation, but they will always look back upon their years at Breck with pleasure and with gratitude. 27 Entered Breck 1957, football: fresh. 3, soccer: 5,6, wrestling: 3,5,6, track: 3,5,6. Phillip Marshall Arnold Phil entered Breck School four years ago. During his years here, his congenial and industrious manner has made him a well liked member of the senior class. Phil is a hard worker and he has always been a sound student and a good athlete. During his high school years, Phil has probably traveled more than any other Breck student. Two years ago he went to Korea for an entire year. He took judo lessons and soon earned a black belt. When he returned to our school last year, Phil proved his prowess on the mat with a certain history teacher. Phil earned a reputation here at Breck of always taking his time. Whether running the 440 or answering a teacher s question, he absolutely refused to be rushed for fear he might get flustered. Spiders quiet, pleasant personality will always serve him well. 28 But look! You deserve a 60. Entered Breck 1960. football: j.v.4,5, (Cpt.-MVP),6, basket ball: v. 4,5,6, (Cpt.), baseball: v. 4,5,6.

Robert Michael Arnold Although Bob has been at Breck only three years, the mongoose has, in that short time, made quite an impression in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. He has lettered once in football and three times in both basketball and baseball. In addition to this, Bob’s name has frequently appeared on the honor roll. More important, when “Amie” leaves Breck he will be remembered as a good friend. He has an irrepressible sense of humor that always makes him a center of activity. Bob’s very relaxed manner is such that he can put anyone at ease. Because of his many good qualities. “Amie” has become as much a part of Breck as any of his classmates. Not only can Bob chide his friends, but he can also take teasing. Of all his assets, probably Arnie's greatest is his capacity for friendship. Bob has meant a lot to our class and everyone will miss him in many ways. Instead of saying good-bye to Amie, we will say thanks for making 63 easy to remember. 29 To be or not to be?

Ralph William Burnet During Ralph's years at Brcck, he has proven himself as one of the school's most loyal students. This loyalty is shown by his attendance at every Brcck social function, his assistance to the athletic teams, and his participation in last Halloween's “pumpkin affair.” Although Ralph is unable to compete in any sport which involves contact, no one will deny that he is an asset to the athletic department. He is always doing more than his share both in the cage and on the Field as manager. He even helped coach the “green football team” this year. A few years ago Ralph became interested in playing the guitar anti singing folk songs. He soon advanced to a twelve string guitar and is now playing with a local teenage group. Ralphic is one of those boys who believes in the philosophy that “all work and no play makes Ralph a dull boy.” Therefore on weekends one can find him on the ski slopes or at Danccland. On Monday mornings we will miss the stories of these weekends. 30 “A genius must have created this book.'

Chuck possesses a natural charm, an ability to make friends and express his opinions. Chuck has made a great impression on Brcck. The school will long appreciate his efficient work. Without a doubt Chuck is one of the well liked boys in the high school. In everything he has undertaken, Chuck has done the very best he could. His accomplishments in the extra-curricular area are as good as those in the academic area. His work on the Bugle during the past three years has been greatly appreciated. Chuck’s pleasant personality and good natured disposition will be great assets to him, always. 31 Entered Brcck 1961, Football: j.v. 5, v. 6. hockey tennis: 5,6. Christopher Tague Chisholm The fiery little red head popularly known as “Flash” has been a real hustler in his years at Breck. He has made himself known as an important member of the varsity football team by playing the lcftlincbackcr position. Although he often played across from bigger opponents, he was always able to fight his way through for the tackle. Flash was also an important member of the hockey squad and played first line. The Shattack Hash came up with some nice plays in the classroom such as the pen spring episode. Although not an exceptional student, Kit has had a respectable scholastic average. 32 Flap, flair, — all! here it is — flash.” Entered Breck, 1951, football: j.v. 4,5, v. mgr. 6, track: 3,4,5,6, Freshman Sophomore dance committee 4, Brown Alumni Award for English 5, Masters Award: geometry, N.E.D.J. certificate 5, co-editor of Bugle 6, Homecoming Dance committee 6.

Twelve years of doing his best for Breck would truly characterize this boy's high school career. One outstanding characteristic about Bob is his type of humor. He is not merely funny, but genuinely witty. His tires arc of a rib-splitting variety, but they arc usually true and of a deep and provocative nature. Bob is very adaptable. He seems to be able to do any job and do it well. He is one of the academic leaders of his class, and he has participated in athletics each school year. Bob uses his ability to a high degree, and he is certainly a creditable addition to any organization. Bob has worked hard on the staff of the school newspaper, the Bugle, for three years, and this year he is co-editor. Here is a boy who is an industrious worker, but above all he is a person of great worth with a pleasing personality. 33 For a rifle. What else?

Nicolas Michael William Goddard Nick is probably one of the most well rounded boys of the class of ’63. Although serious, he is friendly and well liked. Nick is always courteous to his teachers, yet not aloof from his classmates. On the contrary, he is very much a part of the group. His presidency of the class speaks for itself. Nick has participated in varsity sports for the last four years. Although hampered by injuries, he continued to lend his support to the football squad. In the winter Nick is a member of the basketball team, and in the spring he is the catcher for Breck’s powerful baseball squad. Nick is in the upper section of his class. Not only has he received good grades, but he has also been willing to take on the job of co-editor of the school’s newspaper, The Bugle. With all of Nick’s natural abilities, he will un-loubtcdlv be accepted by the college of his choice. 34 Gee. I can’t afford to lose much more.

Lawrence Edward Hall Although Larry is somewhat shy he always has a friendly “Hello” for everyone. Since he entered Breck five years ago, Larry has been active in many areas of school life. He has been a member of the drama club, in which he played in both the courtroom scene from The Merchant of Venice as the Duke and in A Christmas Carol as the Ghost of Christmas Past. In the last couple of years he has been a member of the glee club. Larry also gives everything he has on the soccer field, in the hockey rink, and on the tennis court. As goalie for the soccer team Larry is one of the best in the league. This year Larry’s soccer career was cut short when one of his “friends” mistook his ankle for a soccer ball. Larn’s quiet, softspoken manner and cheerful willingness to do things for others create a friendly atmosphere wherever he is. 35 The cast is dyed.

David Nicholas Hancock I)avc is one of the best students in Breck School. He takes special delight in wcascling out a few extra points from teachers who are always trying to “cheat” him. Dave also uses his abilities to help the Bugle with his “Sports Slants” and “Morrie’s Stories.” It is typical of Dave to leave things to the last minute, but he always comes through with good results. Still, his interests arc not entirely in the academic area. Dave is also quite active in athletics. He played halfback on the varsity football team and was a first string member of the hockey squad. In the spring he could be seen playing another of his favorites, tennis. Dave will always be remembered for his happy smile, his rushing to get a seat in the back of the room, and his constant question of “What’s the assignment?” 36 The scholar.

William Beddall Harley Bill Is always looking for broad-er fields of knowledge. It is often said that what you get out of something is equal to what you put into it. During his years here. Bill has put as much into Brcck as any of his classmates. He has always taken on responsibility and has worked hard for the good of his class and for the good of Breck school. Academically, Bill excels because of his outstanding character and effort. He won the Harvard Book Prize for academic excellence and extra-curricular activities in his junior year. Bill also stands out in the athletic field. In 1961 he won the Allen Dunn Trophy for the best all-around athlete. The football team, of which he is co-captain, has benefited greatly from his fine leadership and fast runs. In wrestling he had the best win-loss record on the team. Bill is also known as one of the fastest track runners; he broke the league record for the 220 yard dash. Needless to say. Bill is everyone’s friend. He has given much to Brcck and he has received much in return. When Bill leaves for college, Breck will miss a leader, worker, and friend. 37 Charles Judson Hess In the six years Jud has been at Brcck, he has gained the friendship of all who have come to know him. Whether it lx in the classroom or on the athletic field, you can lx! sure he is doing his best job. Charlie has real determination and love of sports. His two favorites arc football and track. For football, he received honorable mention and was tied for second high scorer in the league. He also won the Fighting Spirit trophy. In track. Charlie has been one of the fastest runners and best broad jumpers in the conference. Jud’s quiet determination carries over to his academic work. He has been a solid citizen of the Breck community.

His antics arc really entertaining for both classmates and teachers as well. He has taken much good-natured kidding about his Texan accent, but Don never fails to pop back with a witty retort. Don has a great deal of musical ability. He is an accomplished trumpet player and will be remembered for his performances at talent shows and dances. Another one of Don’s claims to fame at Breck would be the uniquely different folk songs which he sings in the senior room during his spare time. Don’s main sport at Breck has been soccer. His knowledge of locker room Spanish has proven to be a great asset in playing against Mexican teams. Always ready to help everyone and never failing to inject his famous brand of humor into his work, Don is one colorful character we will never forget. 39 I can tell it's going to be one of those days.” Entered Breck 1957, football: v. 4,5,6, hockey: j.v. 3,4. v. 5.6. track; 3,4,5,6, dramatics 4,5, All Conference (Ftbl.) 5.6, Co-Captain (Ftbl.) 6. Blair Lindsay Jenness Blair is one of the hardest competitors Breck has had in many years. The “big horse as he was called by coach Soltau helped lead the 1962 football team to a very successful season. Mis excellent line play and vicious tackling made him all conference two years in a row. Blair also works hard for the hockey team by playing defense and for the track team by throwing the discus and shot. He has set a record with the discus here at Breck. The throw which won him the honor was one which went over one hundred feet through the air and through one of the lower school classroom windows. Blairs favorite subject was chemistry. He could always be found after school and during all free periods in the laboratory working on some concoction. Blair is also quite a Latin scholar. One year he had the highest score of anyone in the class of ’63 for that course. Blair has won the respect of his classmates and of the whole school by his loyalty, determination, and perseverance.

Keith Rick is Brack's answer for a red-headed Drac-ula. He has introduced the Monster Mash to Breck and w as an avid fan of the show “Thriller”. Rod’s greatest ability lies in the field of athletics. He quarterbacked the strong varsiu football team and was a mainstay of the basketball squad. In baseball Rick is one of the few pitchers of the M.I.S.L. to have a no-hitter to his credit. Although not the top student in his class, Rick has taken all the history courses possible to prepare himself for the career as a history teacher. Rod has fared well under the tough academic and athletic program of the school, and if he continues to improve as he has been, he will be a worthy contribution of Breck to any institution of higher learning. 41 ‘Take it away.

Steven Hulbert Kingsbury Steve is a very important part of Breck this year. He takes part in many extra-curricular activities, and he is regularly seen at social functions. “Beta” was a half-back on the football team, a very good wrestler, and an outfielder for the baseball team. In the classroom, Steve has been improving year to year. When Beta isn’t in the classroom you can usually bet that he is down in the senior room playing cards or driving his car into the side of the building. Steve is someone that everybody is glad to be around and to know, as witnessed by the fact that he is the secretary of the senior class. Steve’s drive and winning attitude were exhibited this year on the football field when he suffered a concussion midway through the season. Yet this did not stop him from being the team’s punter. With this kind of determination, Kingsey will succeed anywhere. 42 Phi Beta Kappa Entered Breck 1958, football: 3, soccer: 4.5,6, basketball: 3, 4,5, wrestling: 6. baseball: 3,4,6. track: 5, choir 4,5, glee club 5,6. Arthur Carl Kerkhof I just got an idea! Art’s cheerful spirit has brightened life at Breck for five years now. His positive thinking and willingness to perforin any task have contributed to his academic and athletic success. In the fall. Art gives of his best efforts to support the soccer team. Basketball in winter and baseball in spring are his other main sport interests. For an extra-curricular activity, Art has joined the Breck Glee Club. This organization would be lost without a member such as Art. His voice has strengthened the group greatly. Art is also loyal in his attendance at Breck social functions. Still, academic and athletic achievements constitute only a part of a persons personality. Generally speaking, there is no more warm-hearted or congenial guy in the class of ’63 than Art. His friendly attitude has won the respect and admiration of everyone connected with him. “Loyalty and hard work” would best summarize Art's performance at Breck. 43 Entered Brcck 1955, footl ail: j.v. 4,5, v. 6. rifle team: 3, hockey: j.v. 4,5, v. 6, track: 3,4,5,6, Masters Award, advanced math 4, John Nelson Mathematics Award 5, Mustang staff, 6, (business manager). Timothy Henry Kjellberg You can find Tim at school bright and early in the morning and late at night. His remarkable ability and drive in many phases of school life have distinguished him to both masters and students. Tim’s special aptitude lies in the field of mathematics. In his junior year he won the John Nelson Mathematics Trophy as a result of his outstanding achievement and potential in this area. During the past school year, Tim joined the business staff of the Mustang. His efficient work has helped greatly to make this yearbook possible. Tim always avidly supports the athletic teams. Although not too athletically inclined, he has been loyal to his school in this field as in all others. Tim has developed a sense of responsibility in all his everyday activities. His friendliness and helpfulness will be sorely missed by everyone when he leaves.

Stephen George LeMoine Stew goes in for the kill. Lem came from the hills of West Virginia to enter Brcck in his junior year. Nevertheless, in the two short school years he has been here, Steve has achieved very much indeed. He has consistently been on the honor roll because of his fine grades and exemplary attitude. In addition, he was initiated into the Cum Laude Society at the end of his first year. As a senior Steve was appointed chapel prefect, a position which he has conscientiously filled. Steve devotes the same effort to athletics that he devotes to his studies. He played varsity football and varsity basketball and did a good job in supporting both teams. Steve’s most obvious personal qualities arc sincerity and honesty. He is always willing to help out a friend. He is a much sought after senior room card player companion for he never seems to win. Still, Steve is a good sport and good company. 45 Entered Breck 1958, football: 3. soccer: 4,5,6, wrestling: v. 3,4,5,6, Co-Captain (wrest.) 6, track: 3,4,5,6, Homecoming Dance committee 6, mechanics club 6, Emeritus Honor Roll 6. class treasurer 6. Alan Paul Norton It is hard to describe Al to someone who hasn’t known him. He is beyond a doubt one of the best liked students in the entire school. A person can hardly overlook his warm and friendly personality. Without his cheerfulness, life at Breck would have been very dull at times. Yet Al was at all times a good, stable student, whose academic performance is as much of a credit to him as his personality. Hr has likewise given his best efforts in the athletic department, having been chosen cocaptain of the wrestling team. Al was also founder of the river runners. W hen Nort graduates, the school will lose a person to whom it owes a great deal. Every class needs to have a free and easy-going boy to make tough times more endurable. Still. Al can accept responsibility.

Peter Jon Pohl Pete entered Brcck in his junior year. Becoming adjusted to new surrounding is often very difficult, especially when the adjustment occurs in the final stages of a boy’s high school career. Never-thc less, Pete's good-natured, courteous attitude towards others has made him very well-liked. Pete has been a member of the soccer team and has also played tennis in the spring. His proficiency in both sports has helped those two teams very much. Pete is probably one of the quietest seniors Brcck has had in a long time. He is not the particularly scholarly type, but he puts much genuine effort into all of his activities. Pete will hold a place in the memories of many Brcck students. He will be missed by everyone here at Breck, but his ability to form friendships will make his a fine addition to whatever college he attends. 47 ‘What Northrop party?” Entered Breck 1957, soccer: 4, football: j.v. 5, v. 6, hockey: j.v. 3, v. 4,5,6, baseball: j.v. 3, golf: 4,5, tennis: 6, Mustang staff 4, choir 5. Bruce Allen Shaw Bruce has many qualities that have made him a favorite among his classmates. His two most outstanding characteristics arc love of competition and sincere friendliness. If there is anything going on around Breck, Btucc is most likely to be in the middle of it. He is an enthusiastic football player and for the last two years has been one of the best varsity hockey goalies in the league. Bruce also participates in classroom discussions actively and even more actively in senior room capers. When he is not playing cards, you will hear him singing a popular tunc and accompanying himself with a baritone ukc. Bruce is one of the official representatives of the “Baldics” at Breck. His garters, wing tip shoes, and Gant shirts are a part of his Breck “uniform.” When Bruce leaves with his pants around his arm pits, he will have to part with many friends; but he will surely form many new friendships. “What do you mean, ‘Those library books arc missing again’? 48 Entered Brcck 1959, football: j.v. 3,4, v. 5.6, basketball: j.v. 3,4, wrestling: 5,6. track: 3,4,5.6.

Bernard Wendlin Steele Honest, guys, I don’t need a haircut.” Many times Barney’s friends see him in the halls looking lost and absent minded. However, once somebody rouses him, he is full of life and vigor. On Monday mornings (when he really looks lost) if you prod him enough he will tell you about his wild weekend. During the rest of the week, though, Barn is near the top of the class, getting especially good grades in science and math. When awards time comes around, Barney always makes a good showing. In sports, he is a hard worker for the football, wrestling, and track teams. For extra-curricular activities, he has been on the yearbook staff and was co-editor of the 1963 Mustang. Barney also spent the past summer in Germany as a foreign exchange student. He jokingly says that his parents were glad to spend the summer without him. When Barney returned last fall, he brought many customs and mannerisms with him, including a European style haircut. Barney’s natural abilities should bring him much future success. 49 Entered Brcck 1955, football: fresh. 3. track 3,4,5,6, soccer: 4, cage crew: 5,6, journalism feature writer: 3,4, Journalism letter of commendation: 5,6, co-cditor of Mustang 6, Homecoming Dance committee: 6, J.S.

Frederick Lawrence Webber If anyone looks out into the parking lot at 8:25 a.m., he is likely to sec a nervous student looking at his watch while pulling his briefcase out of a blue Volkswagon. Although a little lax about his arrival at school, Fred is never lax in his school work. His fine grades and large stacks of notes attest to this fact. Fred has never been known in his high school career as the loud mouth, show off type. If there is a job to be done, one can be sure of his doing it quietly and diligently. Because of this, Fred is always called on in emergencies to help out with social functions or class projects, and he has held many class officcrships. He has also been appointed co-editor of the Mustang. The college that Fred goes to will receive a good student and hard worker that Breck has been proud to have. 50 Boy, am I glad this is the last deadline.

Robert Richard Williams Whenever anyone hears the familiar statements “I give up. Is it?” or ‘‘Am I ever wrong?” he can be sure Bob is the speaker. Although not noted for his love of poetry, Willie has quite an unusual knowledge of the English language. No one will deny that he has never lost an argument in his five years at Brcck. He assumes an active role in all school activities. One can find him at most school dances and at all athletic events, usually as an important participant. Willie puts the same effort into supporting Brcck school that he puts into supporting Ford Motor Co., The St. Paul Saints, and the Democratic party. Bob’s greatest ability is on the athletic field. He has a lot of drive and plenty of spirit. He plays soccer well, is a mainstay on defense in hockey, and is by far the best pitcher the M.I.S.L. has ever had. Bob’s popularity among students and faculty alike is evident by his election as athletic prefect. Willie has indeed become a part of Breck. 51 If you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go!

Richard Austin Tore Whenever anyone sees an unusally painted 1948 Ford jerking and swaying up 42nd Street, one can be sure that the driver is Dick Yore. Dick has a keen interest in all cars and would show up in anything from a Model T touring car to a late model Buick convertible. If one word were to be chosen to describe Dick, that word would be dependability. Academically, his greatest strength is in math and science. Last year, he won the Masters Award in chemistry. Likewise, Dick can Ik counted on to perform his duties as a prefect to the best of his ability. He has been a very efficient business manager for the 1963 Mustang. Dick has attended all Breck dances and other social functions. He also supported the football, wrestling, and track teams. Dick's devotion to duty, and willingness to work make him a student who truly does credit to the graduating class. 52 ‘So this is where Mr. Marr keeps the hops. THE SENIORS LEA VE Arnold.

Dear Daili Lama, PRESENT The Brcck School of the present is very much different from the Breck School of the past. Through the efforts of Canon Henderson, the school was moved to its beautiful new campus at 4200 VV. River Road, Minneapolis, in January of 1957. It is now a non-military, strictly college-preparatory educational institution serving the twin city area. Brcck has gained national recognition as one ot the finest schools of its type in the nation. These achievements arc due largely to the foresight of Canon F. Douglas Henderson. Included in this section arc the underclassmen. The connotation of the word “present” is the time immediately preceding and immediately following the actual present. Thus those boys of Forms I, II, III, IV, and V fit this connotativc meaning of the word very well. They have been at Brcck in the near past and will be here in the near future. 59 From Irli to riftht, FIRS I ROW: Michael Rurdy, Steven Rader, ROW: Ro! ert Murphy, Kenneth Sanvune.

'HURD CLASS OF ’64 This year’s junior class was compost'd of a group of vigorous and maturing hoys who participated in all the Brock School functions. It had eight hoys on the varsity football team with Mike Tangcn and John Record being elected cocaptains. The juniors were also well represented in the academic life of the school with such students as Ken Sansome, Richard Dcsnick. and Steve Rader. In the extra-curricular activities the juniors with their drive and participation greatly eased the burden for the seniors. Officers elected by the fifth form were Mike Tangcn, pres- ident; Phil Hesli, vice-president; Judd Herrmann, secretary; and Ron Smith, treasurer. Last fall the junior class was given the project of raising funds for the senior graduation dance and successfully fulfilled their obligation. This was certainly not die only way in which the juniors participated in the social activities of the school. They helped to plan, organize, and decorate for many of the other school functions. In the coming year, the fifth form expects to advance still further and to do a respectable job as leaders of the school. 60 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Jay Peyton, David Nelson, An- ROW: Richard Gough, John Strittmatter.

We have everything it takes to be on the top and we are using it. Academically, this year, vve were one of the strongest classes in the school. Our honors list were overflowing and show promise of increasing in the years to come. Through the year the word SOPH. was a common sight on varsity rosters, for we show our excellence in athletics, also. Many sophomores were on varsity teams, and the rest upheld strong J.V. groups. At the beginning of the year we elected John Loomis as our president and Martin Lipschultz as our vice-president. They did well in representing us in the student council. John Larkin and James Norris, in posts of treasurer and secretary, kept the business end of our class running smooth- ty- By and large we had a good year, participating strongly in extra-curricular activities and social events. As a class, we sponsored several successful parties of our own, and participated with the school in the school's social gatherings. We had a good year. But watch out — there’s more to come.

It has required a sense of responsibility, and this year’s third form has met the demand without any serious difficulties. The class officers were Allen Buckbcc, president; Jeff Perry, vice-president; Tom Shuster, secretary; and Steve Helland, treasurer. The class has sponsored many social events, highlighted by the Freshman-Sophomore Dance. This dance has been a success in past years and continued in its tradition this year. Because Brcck is becoming more and more known for its high academic standards, a real challenge presents itself to all the classes. This year the third form proved equal to the challenge. Many freshmen were represented on the Cum Laudc and Emeritus honor rolls, with Anthony Harrison and Bruce Jacobson at the head of the class. Outside the classroom, the third form boys have shown what they can do on the athletic field. They have improved greatly throughout the year try ing to better their record. This year can honestly be called a successful one in every way for the ninth grade. 64 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Robert Heller, Tony Harrison, Bmcc Jacobson.

Academically, there were always boys from the eighth grade on cither the cum laude or the emeritus honors lists. In sports, the class of 67 proved that it would yield many fine varsity players in the next few years. The Form II football team went undefeated, the only Brcck team to have such a record. This year, as in the past, the class of ’67 gained honors in the candy sale by outselling its closest competitor by over one hundred dollars. The class officers were Jim Norton, president; Jim Robiason, vice-president; Bill Cordinglcy, treasurer; and Jim Nordberg, secretary. The advisors were Mr. Nielson and Mr. Krcnz. Looking over the eighth grade academic and sports records, anyone would agree that the members of the group arc well qualified to become freshmen at Brcck. 66 Left to right, FIRST ROW: Lester Wilsey, William Cordinglcy, Peter Archer; THIRD ROW: Thomas Melander.

CLASS OF ’68 This year’s first form has great potential. The boys find that they arc experiencing a minimum of difficulty in adapting to the upper school. The group worked hard academically and athletically. Ralph Burnet coached the “green team” on football fundamentals, and they played three games against other schools. Many seventh grade players contributed to the “gold football team as well. In the academic realm, a large number of students added the study of French to their curriculum. The officers of the first form were: David Watson, president; Sandy Smith, vice-president; Bob Quam, secretary; and Alan Staubly, treasurer. The faculty advisers were Mr. Hcaser and Mr. Yonker. The seventh grade was second in the annual candy sale, and proved that they could beat the senior class challenge. This form was always willing to work hard in every way to accomplish the goals Breck set for them. 68 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Michael Carry.

Too often, however, the life of an educational institution becomes a dull monotony of books. The development of the individual consists not just of “book learning; for an education in a college-preparatory school should include social events and activities that will add to the basic background of facts and fig- ures that a student learns in the classroom. Brcck School provides a social calendar to make the school year more complete. Several of the events, such as Homecoming day, the Christmas program, and the Mid-Winter Formal arc pictured on the following pages. By participation in such events, the Brcck student can obtain a truly full education. 75 HOMECOMING Queen Cindy Morris with escort Steve Kingsbury Preceded by a victorious football game over Concordia, the Brcck 1962 Homecoming was a well attended success. At 8:00 p.m. the Queen candidates and their escorts plus about seventy-five couples assembled in the gymnasium for the Queen’s coronation. Miss Cindy Morris, escorted by Steve Kingsbury, was crowned Brcck’s 1962 Homecoming Queen. After an invitation to the dance by Queen Cindy, the festivities began. From the first tunc to the last, the Corvettes provided dance music that everybody enjoyed. The floor was always filled with twisting, grinding girls and sometimes coatlcss boys. One of the highlights of the party was the twist done by Canon Henderson, who, as most people thought, did a “swinging job.” The Mother’s Club furnished the refreshments which were eagerly accepted after a few dances like “VVhat’d I Say.” Twelve o’clock marked the end of the Brcck Homecoming festivities. There were few who were not tired but yet happy at being participants in one of the best Brcck Homecoming celebrations ever. 76 77 Karen Hegencr Blair dancing on his own feet for a change. 78 The Homecoming Dance will now begin.

ALL SCHOOL CHRISTMAS Last minute preparations Are you going to behave now? ... and some brought dates 81 Little Angels? rr MID-WINTER FORMAL This year's Midwinter Formal was one of Brcck’s best. The theme of the dance was “A Car-ribbean Cruise,” and in keeping with this theme the hall was decorated with many things reminiscent of a voyage among tropical isles. The en-rance to the dance hall was a gang plank like the walkways used for boarding and leaving cruiseships. The Larry Fischer Band provided a wide selection of very danccablc music. Punch and other refreshments were furnished by the Mother's Club. The ritual of the reception line was executed according to long tradition. We owe our thanks to the Mother’s Club and to the dance committee, which consisted of Charles Carlson, Bob Fronk, Nick Goddard, Dick Yore, Mike Tan-gen, and Don Hill. 82 What do you mean you have the next three dances with Mr. Ilslcy? 11:05 Guess we are a little late. Dare as usual is playing his part as a nonconformist. Mr. Ilslcy: “Yes, I have been taking a course in hypnotism. 84 Girl: “Rod! Rod!

These include journalism, yearbook, glee club, dramatics, and the newly-formed debating team. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Ilslcy have helped organize the debate group. Mr. Owen has given his time and effort to develop the glee club. Mr. Krenz works with the drama club, while Mr. Stockwell and Mr. Roth advise the journalism and yearbook staffs respectively. These groups arc greatly indebted to those faculty members who have assisted them. Much time and talent has been devoted to the extra-curricular organizations. The purpose is to teach the boys some skills beyond the scope of their classroom activities. We trust that this goal has been a worthy one. 85 SEATED, left to right: Barney Steele, Fred Webber, and Tim Kjellberg. STASD1SG, left to right: Dick Myen, Mike Tangen.

MUSTANG It is the sole purpose of this division of the Department of journalism to write anti to finance the Mustang, Brock’s annual. To accomplish that goal, the staff is divided into two groups: the editorial and the business staffs. The business staff, headed by Dick Y'ore and Tim Kjcllberg, is in charge of the candy sales and advertising. This year, due to their diligent efforts, the candy sales netted greater profits than in the past and the number of advertisements exceeded previous years. The editorial staff has attempted to equal the fine Mustangs of past years in originality and in organization. Therefore, this year’s staff, headed by Fred Webber and Barney Steele, has added a new section — Academics. The 'I’able of Contents and the senior sport’s pages also have been altered. It is the sincere hope of the Mustang staff that this year’s annual will have successfully covered the events of the school year. 86 FRONT ROW: Dave Hancock, Charles Carbon, Nick Goddard. White.

JOURNALISM Last year, as in the past, there were two distinct journalism groups, the Mustang staff and the Bugle staff. Bob Fronk and Nick Goddard, as co-editors of the Bugle, did a fine job of making that publication the voice of the student body. The editorials in the Bugle have given rise to much controversy. The condemnation of the democratic body of Brcck School (the Student Council) brought about much discussion and a bitter rebuttal from the council itself. This year, the aim of the staff has been to achieve a higher literary plane. A supplement has been added, specifically for this purpose. In it has been included some of the outstanding work by Breck students in prose and poetry. Mr. Enin Stockwell, the head of the English department, has become the faculty advisor. Mr. Stockwell has taught a special course in journalism three times a week throughout the school year. In this class the younger boys learn the skills necessary for writing, editing, and producing a newspaper. 87 From left to rinhtr FIRST ROW Dick Cole, Mike Dobbi, Jim Hayes, Chuck Neily, Kirk Bachler, Jim Mirick.

DEB A TE The Breck Debate Club is the newest organization in the school. Formed just this school year, it has become under the leadership of Chuck Neily, president; Jim Hayes, vice-president; and Kirt Bachler, secretary; a well organized group. It has concerned itself this year with the learning of the fundamentals and rules of debate. Both Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Ilsly helped in this department. Another aspect of the club’s activities was the formation of a constitution and by-laws. Although the constitution has been written and passed, not all of the by-laws have yet been agreed upon. Since the club has had so much to do this year, it has not been able to compete regularly. Next year, however, the group will compete in inter-school competition. 88 From left to right: FIRST ROW Barhlcr, Leemhui , Clasrn, Hayct, Chapin, Packard, Nel on, NorrU, Rognru, Roblctt, Harriion; SEC-OS D ROW Johnion, Bwh, Rader, Kesiel, Braxtan, Perry, Eichen-laub, Archer, Eichenlaub, Hathaway, Peanon, Gerry; THIRD ROW Loomis, Black, Kehler, Mirick, Dobbs, Nesset, Serum, Williamson, Cole, Goddard.

GLEE CLUB The Brcck School Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Goff Owen, Jr., this year came into its own. They increased their membership to fifty singers and thus added new material to the veterans of the last two years. The elected Kenneth Sansomc as their president and David Nelson as secretary. James Norris and Kenneth Sansomc served as tenor and bass soloists, respectively. The M.I.S.L. annual choral concert, held at Brcck, was the Glee Club’s first public appearance. They sang individually such songs as “My Bonnie Lassie,” the German “Widcrspruch,” and “Slow-Motion Time.” The six schools later combined to sing “Laudamus” and “Onward ye Peoples.” The next choral performance was at the Christmas program where the Glee Club united with the Junior Choir and the dramatics group to present “Petite Noel,” a French Christmas pageant. The highlights of the musical year came in the spring at the Brcck-Northrup Choral concert. Here the Glee Club singing “Drink to me only with thine Eyes,” “Set Down, Servant,” and Old Man Noah,” exchanged individual songs with the North-rup Collegiate girls choir. Together the groups presented the Mozart “Mass,” a musical version of the five sections of the Catholic mass. The Glee Club has had a successful year and is looking forward to having many more. 89 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Junes Black, Gene Beaulieu, Jim Norris and John Uirkin. SECOND ROW: John Packard, David Hathaway, Charles Niely, Dick Cole, and Kirk Bach-ler. DRAMA TICS This year was the fourth year of dramatics at Brcck. Although the group, which was under the direction of Mr. Krenz, presented only one play, it was very well received. The presentation was called The King's English. The story takes place on a cannibal island in the South Seas. This island is divided into two kingdoms. One is the kingdom of Wand Goola. Its leader was portrayed by Charles Niely. The other country is the kingdom of Ripley O’Ranni-gan whose chief was portrayed by Richard Cole. Fhc other roles were played by John Larkin, Kirk Bachler, James Norris, and Gene Beaulieu. The entire group is looking forward to another wonderful year. 90 ATHLETICS The stiff curriculum of a school such as Brcck tends to make the students inactive. Therefore. Brcck has compulsory athletics. This program is not like a gym period in other schools, but it involves actual varsity and junior varsity competition. This gives the person who is not athletically inclined a chance to compete and to be a member of a team. Also, the talented individual is encouraged to become a leader. The following pages have been allotted to show this aspect of school. In them arc the teams and some of the action which have highlighted the 1962-1963 season. 91 Lr(i to ri ht.

The squad tied for second place and was one-half game out of first. After losing the first contest to St. Thomas, Breck went on to win all of its nonconfcrcncc games against Roscmount and Golden Valley. The first conference game proved a pleasant surprise, as Breck defeated the “Big Red” from Shattuck. The following week Breck defeated SPA for the first time in seven years by the score of 13—6. Breck went on to win its Homecoming game against Concordia and to lose to Blake and Minnehaha. Six members of the Breck squad, which was led by coaches Jim Soltau and Bob Aarthun and co-captains Blair Jenness and Bill Harley, were honored by the MISL for their outstanding playing. Blair Jenness (offensive guard), Bill Harley (offensive halfback), and Barney Steele (defensive end) received All-Conference awards, while quarterback Rod Keith, tackle Mike Tangen, and fullback Jud Hess received honorable mention. The Most Valuable Player Award of Breck School went to Bill Harley, while the Best Offensive Lineman Trophy went to Blair Jenness. Jud Hess was awarded the Fighting Heart Trophy for his fine playing and Barney Steele was chosen the Best Defensive Lineman. Mike Tangen was selected the Most Improved Player and elected cocaptain of next year's team with John Record. 92 Bill Harley all-confercncc halfback Bill goes for another one.

FOOTBALL Because the varsity squad took most of the sophomores and juniors with real football potential, the J.V. squad did not have a particularly good year. The team elected as co-captains Bob Murphy and Max Harshbarger. Larry Ross suffered a broken leg at the beginning of the season, and there were numerous other injuries which handicapped the team. Two of the team’s outstanding players were Bob Murphy and Jeff Stuart. Midway through the season, Bob assumed the quarter back position. He won the most valuable player trophy for his efforts. The scoring threat of the J.V. team was Jeff Stuart. He scored all the points and made several spectacular runs. In spite of their many setbacks, the J.V. team is looking forward to a brighter season next year. 100 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Roger Tobin.

SOCCER This is the third year that soccer has been a recognized fall sport at Breck. The teams record of one win, four losses, and two tics docs not present a true picture of this season. Soccer competition is becoming very rough in the M.I.S.L. now that all schools except for S.P.A. have varsity teams. As last year the soccer team was fortunate to have a number of talented players instead of one brilliant star. Mike Ruedy, Pete Pohl, Phil Arnold, Bob Williams, and Larry Hall all held very important positions and filled them capably. In the first game Breck tied St. Thomas 1—1. This was quite an accomplishment considering the superior experience of the “tommies.” Just after this contest Breck had the unfortunate luck of losing its hardworking goalie, Larry Hall, who received a broken leg during practice. This loss had a noticable effect on the team, as witnessed by their subsequent defeat of 5—2 at the hands of St. Thomas. The situation was no better in the game with Blake. We tied them 1—1, and then were beaten 4—0. This 4—0 defeat was netted at Shattuck, and a wild ride back was serenaded by the Hall-Hill chorus. As one of the highlights of the season, our team was fortunate enough to beat the eventual league champs, Minnehaha, 1—0, in a “blinding” snowstorm. The surviving members of the soccer team look forward to a successful season next year. 102 From Irfi lo right, FIRST ROW: Jim litas. John Strittmattcr, Boh Orrir Krtwl, Steve L Maine, Bob Murphy.

BASKETBALL After a slow start in their pre-season games, the basketball squad finished with one of their better records in recent years. Brcck lost to De-LaSalle, one of the top-rated teams in the state, by a score of 72 to 23. In conference play, they lost their first two games and then went on to capture second place in the league. The two senior stars of the team were Rod Keith and Bob Arnold. Rod was high scorer and often made twenty points in a game. The playmaker and best ball handler was Bob Arnold. He too was a good scorer and made 21 points in the S.P.A. game. The team turned in many good performances, but the S.P.A. contest, in which the score was 71 to 48, high-lighted the season. The Prospects for the future are bright — four of the six boys who constituted the backbone of the team arc underclassmen, who will be on the squad again next year. Altogether Brcck’s team should be assured of continued‘success. 103 Rod Keith-forward All-Conference Teams watch as Amie goes up for rebound. 104 “Eck, there’s a bug on his back! 105 Bob Arnold, Captain All-conference 106 107 Rod puts on the brakes.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL This year’s junior varsity team was a young and inexperienced with only one senior, Ralph Burnet. This lack of experience on the pan of most of the members plus the change in coaching staff put the squad in a difficult position. Their defeats early in the season by Dc La Salle's larger and more practiced team also had a slightly demoralizing effect. The team, however, began to improve in their ball handling when they won their first game against S.P.A. David Nelson, Phil Hesli, David Ross, and Ed Chapin were some of the more outstanding players. The J.V. prepares many boys for the varsity. It helps especially the freshmen, since they arc playing sophomores and juniors from other schools. As to the possibilities of next year, Mr. Jenkins feels that we should be considerably better, as the team gains a year of experience. Many of the J.V. cagcrs show at times the spark of real potential, which will insure a brighter season for next year. 109 “C” SQUAD BASKETBALL Front left to right, FIRST ROW: Greg Albares, Frank Cervenka, Pete Lang.

Added to these were many sophomores and juniors without previous experience. Thus, although the team did not have an especially outstanding season, many of the younger players have gained valuable experience. However, under the leadership of coach Warren Strelow and captains Bob Williams and Dave Hancock, the team had a number of important victories. They won against South (3—1), Sibley (4—1), and, in league play, against Shattuck (4—1). Kit Chisholm, Pete Anderson, and David Hancock played first line. Bob Williams and Pete Pohl played defense while Bruce Shaw and Tom Schuster served as goalies. John Slater, Jay Peyton, and Mike Tangen formed the second string. The coach feels next season’s prospects arc good, as so may fine players will be returning. in 112 Larry Hall 113 Blair Jcnncss Ill 114 Kit Chisholm 115 116 9 From left to right, FIRST ROW: Boh Htlkr, Jamn Robinson, Don Hill.

JUNIOR VARSITY On the first day of junior varsity hockey practice due to the varsity, there were only six boys who turned out for the j. v. squad. Therefore the junior varsity was combined with the seventh and eighth grades. All of the originally scheduled games were canceled as a result. However, two games were arranged with S.P.A. The first game was a victory for our team with a score of 3 to 1. All three Brcck goals were made by Tom Ring. Other members of the first line besides Ring were Bob Musscr and Dave Anderly. On defense there were Bob Heller and John Packard, and in the nets Don Hill. The second game was lost by a score of 4 to 3. Again, Pom Ring was the high scorer for Breck with two goals, and George May shot the other. Iom was awarded the Most Valuable Player trophy at the end of the season. 117 BRECK GIVES THANKS TO . . . BOB WILLIAMS “Willie has been called the finest athlete in St. Paul in over a decade. This year, he was chosen Athlete of the Year in St. Paul by the Downtown Lions club. We wish to congratulate Hob on this honor, and to thank him for all he has done for Brcck. . . . AND TO THE BRECK CHEERLEADERS These girls come from Edina-Momingsidc High School. They have come to Brcck every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, and their presence has added a much needed touch to Brcck athletics. Not only have they been the most proficient cheerleaders in the league, but also the best looking. 118 Front left in riftht, FIRST ROW: Prlrr Braucr, Edgar Amu, Gene Arnold, John Record, Dick Yore, Art Kerkhof, Bill Harley, Ron Bieuleau, Jim Hayes, Bob Sludge, Al Norton, N'iel Stein, Brian Me Smith, Wilson Tingle, Jiin Norris. Donald, SECOND ROW: Joe Leetnhuis, Michael Dobbs, Phil WRESTLING This wrestling season included many gratifying and disappointing performances. It is hard to think that a team with as much experience as the 1963 Mustangs was not able to win a match, but this was due in part to the fact that certain weight divisions lacked strength and always were a handicap to the rest of the squad. Two of the highlights of the season were the performances of Ron Smith and Phil Arnold in the M.I.S.L. Wrestling Tournament. Even though both cocaptains (Bill Harley and Al Norton) were eliminated in the semi-finals by very close decisions (one and two points), the performances of Smith and Arnold brought enough points to place Breck above Shattuck in the tournament, something never before accomplished by any Breck wrestling squad. What makes Ron's and Phils feat so gratifying is that in the beginning of the season both were not even considered to be in the running. Smith improved consistently throughout the season and was defeated in the finals by only a few points in a roughly contested battle with Bear of Shattuck, pre-tournament favorite. Phil did not even start on the first string at the beginning of the season. But when he did secure a place, he went on through the season undefeated and won the first individual championship for Breck in six years. The prospects look encouraging for next year with the gaining of experience in the very high and very- low weights. It is hoped that the loss of a large number of seniors will not have too detrimental an effect upon the team. 119 120 Bill Harley co-captain AI Norton co-captain 121 Phil Arnold conference champ Say Al.

Careful thought is being given to the size Brock should be. The question of whether the coeducational facilities in the present plant should be expanded or contracted is under consideration, and the possibility of a girls school has been discussed. A new field house for basketball and wrestling, a hockey enclosure, tennis courts, a soccer field, and an improved track arc among the possibilities for building and remodeling in the future. Uppermost in the minds of most of Breek’s friends and benefactors at the present time, however, is the proposed chapel. This structure would be erected to the south of the lower school wing of the present building and would face the river. It would serve as a worship center for the school community at least twice each day during the school year, probably as a mission of the Kpiscopal Church for the people in the neighborhood, a retreat for private meditation and prayer, and a center for interfaith study in the cause of unity. Included in the following pages of the yearbook are the youngsters of the kindergarten through the sixth grades. As the present high school students graduate and enter various colleges across the nation, these students will take their places. They will constitute the core of the Breck School of the future. 127 From left Jo right.
