After all the planning and many months of construction, the power of positive thinking is clearly visible. The new building is completed. The new wing was the goal of Canon Henderson, and therefore it is only proper for the building to be dedicated to him. The new wing contains eight science classroom labs, the library, the studyhall, and offices for several teachers. There is also a girls’ lockerroom, and a new gym which is an ideal place for a volleyball game after classes are over. With many modern conveniences and much up-to-date equipment, the new wing is a gigantic step in the growth of Breck School. The new building has been greatly used and appreciated by the student body. It has filled a definite need for space and better equipment, and has become a vital part in the life and progress of Breck School. 4 The Lower School ... and Upper School expanded greatly 5 and so did the servants entrance. The new Library helps both the older students ... The Librarians even got a full-sized office! The new gym — a mammoth echo chamber. Our favorite place — Study Hall One of the new Science Laboratories The beginning 8 And Breck continues to grow. W, DEDICATION This year the Breck Mustang is dedicated to a man who has been a friend to Breck School for many years, Mr. Earl Hovland. Originally an Upper School Math teacher, he is now the Supervisor of the Lower School, and he also teaches fifth and sixth grade Math. In these different posts, Mr. Hovland has been a friend to many pupils, and his warmth and personal concern have earned him the respect of the entire student body and the faculty. Mr. Hovland is noted not only for his Mathematics teaching but also for his organizational ability and leadership of the Lower School faculty. His creative talents have become a legend, around Breck where his originality and cleverness contribute a flavor and texture that is highly esteemed by all. Many a winter lunch has been cheered up by the Christmas trees Mr. Hovland decorates. In the Lower School especially, Mr. Hovland has the wonderful talent of helping to develop the good in each individual student. He has been very successful in this work, and many of the Upperclassmen are a credit to his abilities. Through his hard work, patience, and personal concern, Mr. Hovland has greatly helped in the growth and improvement of Breck School. We of the Mustang Staff salute you, Mr. Hovland, and we hope that you will continue your fine work at Breck for many years. We are fortunate to have a man of your high caliber at this school. 9 RECTOR AND HEADMASTER Since he came to Breck in 1953, Canon F. Douglas Henderson has been the driving force behind the school. As Headmaster, he has led Breck to new heights. Canon Henderson’s enthusiasm and vigor are easily seen in the forms of the Chapel and the new building complex. Through his leadership he has made Breck what it is today. Few underclassmen get to know Canon Henderson very well, but the Seniors find that he is one of their greatest friends. When the pres- sures and problems of college applications arise, the twelfth graders can always turn to Canon Henderson for advice and support. In his Sacred Studies Classes, Canon’s knowledge and understanding of the problems that face the youth of today have been a great help to his students. We hope that the student body here at Breck will continue to receive Canon Henderson's guidance and friendship for many years to come. 10 ASSISTANT HEADMASTER Although he is new to the post of Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Robert J. Aarthun is no stranger to Breck School. Since coming to Breck in 1957, Mr. Aarthun has coached varsity football, varsity wrestling, varsity basketball, and J.V. baseball. He has also been the Athletic Director. Mr. Aarthun attended St. Paul Monroe High School and Macalester College. He majored in Social Sciences there, and his minor was Physical Education. He has also done postgraduate work at the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan. Always a friend of the student body, Mr. Aarthun in his new job has become an advisor for any student with a problem. Always available and enthusiastic, the new Assistant Headmaster is a great support for the school. We hope Mr. Aarthun will continue to assist Breck for many years. 11 Lee R.

Woodhull (Treasurer) BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Breck School. The Board is organized into three committees. The Curriculum and Program Committee works closely with the faculty in planning the curriculum for each year. The Finance and Capitol Funds Committee and the Building and Property Committee are also very important in the progress of Breck School. Under the leadership of Bishop Kellogg, Chairman, the Board decides the financial programs and establishes policies for the school so that Breck will continue to improve and expand. The Board is dedicated to the “Commitment to Betterment” which is the byword at Breck. The new wing is concrete evidence of the success of the Board in its endeavors. Breck’s future is profoundly influenced by the continuing efforts of the Board of Trustees. Their determination and hard work is gratefully appreciated by the student body and the faculty. 12 Mrs. Edward Johnson (President) Mrs. Janet Maxson (Vice President) Mrs. Charles Fox (Recording Secy.)

Under the leadership of the new president, Mrs. Barbara Johnson, The Mothers’ Club has helped out at many school functions. The women conducted the Book Sale, and they were of invaluable help during the many conferences for which Breck was host. The Mothers’ Club also provided refreshments for school dances. The women have been actively involved in many facets of life at Breck. The Mothers’ Club has five standing committees. The Ways and Means Committee is in charge of all money-raising events for the Mothers’ Club. The Social Committee organizes all the Upper School social events, such as dances. There are also the Room Mothers Committee, the Hospitality Committee, and Publicity Committee. Through these groups the Mothers’ Club enters many different areas, making it an important part of Breck School. 13 MR. JACK BLATHERWICK MRS.

CHARLES KRENZ THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department has added two new members to its staff this year, Mr. Chilberg and Mr. Shaw. Students beginning the Upper School have already had a good, working knowledge of grammar. Under Mr. Krenz, the department’s senior member, seventh and eighth graders can use this knowledge to its full extent. A review of grammar as well as a program of oral and written work are offered at this level. Mr. Shaw is instructing the ninth and tenth graders in Modern American Literature. Composition is also carried through this period. More advanced English study with Mr. Chilberg is presented at the Junior and Senior levels. Expository writing and prominent Twentieth Century writers are explored in these classes. The Breck English Department is equipped to handle its students in all grades and is prepared to offer a wide variety of fields for training in the English language. 22 MR. HOWARD CHILBERG MR. CHARLES KRENZ MR. BRUCE SHAW A-Rooty-toot, A-Rooty-toot, I’m the boy from the institute. FINE ARTS The Fine Arts Department consists of Lower Upper School Art, Music, and Choir. Headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Tozer, the department strives to secure for younger students a facility with the singing voice, music reading, and an appreciation of the correlated fine arts of yesterday and today. With this background, students passing into Upper School may continue with their fine arts education if they wish to. Upper School Art teacher, Mrs. Marjorie Pinkham, undertakes the assignment of furthering the students’ awareness of different art forms and styles. Work in a variety of media is stressed. Glee Club, directed by Mr. Clyde Thompson, carries on the function of the Junior Choir. Upper School also provides a Dramatics Club which has presented a good number of plays this year, highlighted by The Snow Queen, Hans Christian Andersen’s famous story, which was presented on December 18, under the direction of Mr. Terrill Nelson. 24 MR. CLYDE THOMPSON MRS. OLGA BERG MRS. MARJORIE PINKHAM HISTORY The Upper School department offers seven different courses for students in grades 7-12. The objectives of the various courses differ but there are several goals which are common to all courses: 1) the development of social science skills, 2) the fostering of an awareness of what’s going on in the world today and how it is related to the history of earlier periods, and 3) the development of the students’ ability to see cause and effect relationships and to understand the role of such relationships in history. World History is a two year course for seventh and eighth graders taught by Mr. Dolen, Mr. Tierney, and Mr. Kingsbury. The first year consists of Ancient History, from man’s beginning to the fall of Rome. The second year studies Medieval and Early Modern History through the Enlightenment. History 9, “Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology”, taught by Mr. Kingsbury, is an elective open for students in grades 9-12. This new course spends roughly an equal amount of time on each of these three disciplines all of which are new and exciting fields of study for most of our students. United States History is a required survey course, taught by Mr. Tierney, covering the whole span of our nation’s history. Like most of the other history courses, it is non-graded and has some students from each grade 9-12. Modem European History, an elective taught by Mr. Dolen, basically attempts to give students an understanding of major historical developments of Europe in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Political Science Economics is a different but valuable course, because it gives the student the ability to better understand the workings of political and economic systems, particularly our own. Advanced Placement Western Civilization is in its first year at Breck and is somewhat unique, taught primarily by television, through KTCA-TV and Hamline University. Each week the students watch three half-hour television lectures by Fred Marsh of Hamline. Mr. Tierney Mr. Dolen 27 Mr. Kingsbury “Hair gives up with the Yearbook in disgust.” Breck’s Language Department has undergone extensive change in the past, and particularly this year. Two new teachers have taken positions in the Department this year. They are Mr. Weiszel and Mrs. Kiltinen, for German and French respectively. Despite changing programs, the Language Department has been strengthened by the addition of these language instructors. The French Department has changed greatly in the past year. Mrs. Kiltinen’s aim in her teaching has been to involve the students with a thorough understanding of the French language, literature, and culture. Students gain an active as well as passive knowledge of French through the development of speaking, reading, and creative writing. The ALM texts are used in French I and II. Grammar in third and fourth years with an emphasis given to composition and reading skills. The French program culminates in a survey of the cultures and literature from Chretien de Troyes to the present. 28 “The moral of the story is, Stay away from good looking, bad smelling Frenchmen.” The German Department has undergone a few basic changes. The contract system is no longer used. Beginners in German are using a new edition of the familiar ALM texts. German II and III have followed a very extensive review as well as learning new materials. The German Literature class is not only doing a review of the literature from Germany, but also an extensive study of the country’s cultural history. “But Mr. Neher never made us do THIS” “Did I ever tell you about my trip to Mexico?” The Spanish program under Mr. Uram’s instruction places an emphasis on the oral aspect in the first two years. Grammar is taught functionally in Spanish I and to reinforce the oral drills, given throughout the course. In third and fourth years there is more emphasis on the speaking aspect with a thorough review of first and second year materials. MATH In past years the Math Department has been perhaps the strongest of any department. With the end of this year, the Math Department will be but one step from completing the first and trial cycle of the “Advanced Placement” Program. Under this format students in the top third of their class are encouraged to progress as fast as they can handle the material. The Juniors have just finished a year of calculus under this system and after next year the cycle will be complete. The program starts in eighth grade and appears to be very successful. The other students proceed through high school in a more traditional manner. Algebra is taught in ninth grade. Geometry in tenth grade, Advanced Math for eleventh graders, and Calculus or Advanced Math in the Senior year. Heading the department is Mr. Richard Yonker who teaches Calculus and most of the advanced material. Mr. Blatherwick is teaching only two math classes because of his appointment as Athletic Director. Mr. Ross teaches Algebra and eighth grade. Mr. Deger, new to the department, is an instructor for the seventh grade and Geometry classes. In addition to regular classroom mathematics, the school sponsors a computer program with our own G-15 as well as a Fortram programming course at the University of Minnesota. 30 31 MR. DEGER RELIGION Religion has always been a major portion of Breck life. Daily chapel services, Wednesday communion, and corporate communion are indicative of the school’s religious program and the students’ involvement in it. However, the influence of religion is not contained only in the chapel. Sacred Studies classes begin in the fourth grade and continue every other year through the senior year. Lower School studies include a review of the Old Testament and the story of the life and teachings of Jesus. Here every effort is made to relate real-life situations to those of the Old and New Testaments. The eighth grade course, taught by the Rev. Kenneth Hauge, gives its students an opportunity to compare their religious beliefs with those of other countries. The students examine the history and effects of Judaism and Christianity and consider many of the moral aspects of contemporary social and cultural problems.. The tenth grade is a year concentrating mainly upon issues that directly concern young people. Contemporary ideas are the main fare for the seniors as well as the sophomores. In these classes religion has an opportunity to branch out into virtually every aspect of life, permitting the students to end their years at Breck with something of real value to them. 32 SCIENCE This year due to the dramatic expansion of the Science Department, both in personnel and facilities, the faculty feel that they can offer far more extensive and detailed courses. Students are taught to closely note and observe physical and chemical phenomena. They learn how to predict, interpret, make “educated guesses’', and solve problems. Ordered scientific thought has given man the technology he enjoys and occasionally dreads. Thus the Science Department is striving to help the students understand the problems that science itself has created. Our science facilities at Breck enable the students to prepare for the future. Here science, the orderly process of thinking is the key to good sense and reason. MR. ROBERT DEDOLPH 34 MR. ALLAN COULTER 35 MR.

CLASS OF ’70 OFFICERS The Seniors have been basically happy during the ups and downs of their last year at Breck. The Senior Weekend set the pace. All of the upperclassmen agreed that the archaic system of “Senior brutality’’ used to enforce order is not the answer to a smoothly run school. The Seniors have instead remained in a mediatory position between the underclassmen and faculty. After the first hectic term of senior adjustment, college testing and applications soon became uppermost in the seniors’ minds. Most have been accepted at the college of their choice, where it is hoped that they do as honest and challenging a job as the Breck community has prepared them to do. 38 Entered Breck: 1968, Nickname: Big Ceads.

All of the editors tried (and sometimes succeeded) to split up their section evenly. Sports Editor. Gary Fabel, spent endless hours pondering over how to make four pages of soccer pictures seem like six pages of football pictures. A1 Larkin, Special Events Editor, lost countless nights of sleep over how he would evenly split his section when he didn’t have any pictures of the Christmas program. Business Editor, Mike Elnicky, spent ten minutes deciding how he would split the candy sale money between the school and himself. The editor, who probably spent more time than anyone else, trying to divide things evenly, was the Editor-in-Chief, Preston Haglin. Preston spent days, or even weeks, trying to split properly various burgers, fries, shakes, and cokes to see that they got to their respective owners. Besides the editors there are also the unsung workers who really do all the dirty work. First there are the secretaries, although not the most proficient typists in the world, are excellent lap warmers. Then there are the photographers who furnished the staff with many interesting and amusing pictures, (some of which we are not allowed to print). Special thanks go to three photographers, Mr. Lund, Steve Peeps, and John Leemhuis, who is still trying to get his camera strap out from around his neck. And last but not least Peter Haglin who pulled the yearbook up by its pages and corn-pleated the first deadline, while his brother took a leave of absence. 120 Leemhuis and Peeps caught the Mustang Staff at work and play. Let’s see, where haven’t I checked out to today?” Cub Reporter Rollwagen Dreams up a story. Fabel picked up some hot tips. Fred just looks on in disgust. “And after lunch we’ll go up to the yearbook room.” LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Morawetz, S. Sjobeck. S. Drill, J. Garlid, P. Bosela, P. Truhn, G. Johnson, W.D. Brown, B.

BUGLE This years Bugle Staff, headed by Junior Editor, Steve Field, put together one of the best collection of short stories and alumni news seen all year. The sports section headed by Junior Rob Fischer and Senior Mat Curran was the strongest department while the literary section handled by Junior Pete Haglin displayed the students’ talents. Because there are only a handful of Seniors on the Bugle Staff, next years school paper promises to top even this year’s. 122 BRECK News Editor Vi'.D.

Since the beginning of the year, the original Mustang staff of thousands has dwindled to a mere handful of devoted employees. It is the hard work of these few people that has made the yearbook possible. I would like to extend my personal thanks to Gary Fabel, our Sports Editor and general mainstay, Don Fred Brown our experienced Extracurricular Activities Editor, Stephen Peeps and John Leemhuis, our Photographers, Don Wodo Brown, our Academic Editor and Photographic Effects Advisor, Mike Elnicky, our Business Editor, and Richard Clary, our token Junior, Prologue Editor, and next year’s Chief. Although plagued by hundreds of blurred pictures, bad memories at deadline time, and constant censorship, this group of upperclassmen and their secretaries managed to brave the elements of B-teck, including Mr. Weiszel, our Advisor, and Mrs. Rader, who censored almost every crude saying and a few funny jokes. Hours of hard work, sweat, and a few laughs went into this book, along with a lot of pride. So, here is not just a yearbook, but a vehicle and a means of exploring the year of 1970.

In the past only 10th through 12th grade boys have been able to volunteer, but this year the 9th and 10th grade girls were also allowed to work. While the volunteers could be found working in the emergency room, coffee shop, or information desk their biggest service was the warm smile and cheerfulness with which they greeted the patients at the hospitals. Service awards were given to all those who worked ten or more hours all year. St. Luke’s Volunteers LEFT TO RIGHT: G. Johnson. F. Krause. J. Garlid. T. FJIerbe. R. Clary. MISSING: G. Phelps. K.

The addition of girls to the Glee Club gave the group a blend which allowed the selection more popular songs than have been sung in past Glee Club years. The selection of songs varied in a wide enough range to interest everyone. “Scarborough Fair” and “Do you Know the Way to San Jose” appealed to the younger audiences while traditional hymns were sung during Communion. Since this year’s Glee Club is made up almost entirely of underclassmen, the future looks bright for the coming year. 126 BACK ROW E. Terzuolo, M. Winchwttcr. S. Andrew , J. Johnson, F. l ub. R.

Eichen- DRAMATICS Now in its second year the New Timid Workshop, which was formed to encourage participation in Theatre Arts, has reached its primary goal of making Dramatics a recognized part of Breck’s curriculum. The workshop meets to discuss and act out problems in interpretation of ideas through self expression. In December, the New Timid Workshop produced the Snow Queen, a children’s play, adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen. The leads in the play were taken by Senior Jim Jordan, Freshman Sherrie Brings, Sophomore Jennifer Garlid, and Eric Terzuolo. In the spring The New Timid Workshop features one-act, student-directed, plays. Advisor-Director, Mr. Terrill Nelson, says he will keep with the modem trends in theatre throughout this season and on into the next. All in all, it was a great season for the New Timid Workshop and the future looks bright as well. 127 LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Andrews, K. Hardisty, J. Weiner. D. Jenkins, toush, P. Truhn, P. Micevych. V.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE With the addition of the new library, the Library Committee, under the supervision of Mrs. Thacher, has become a vital part of the school. Many members of the committee spent hours during the summer transfering books from the old library to the new one so that we could obtain books for study and pleasure. The whole school is grateful for the services they perform. 128 Student Vestry members: Rich Clary Peter Haglin Preston Haglin (President) Jane Thornstrom Chris Andrews Tom Cavin Connie Woodrich Scott Pikovsky Jay Johnson STUDENT VESTRY The Student Vestry played an important part in Breck this year. They brought to Chapel speakers from all walks of life. Talks by sports figures such as Bob Barlow, Jim Kaat, and Gary Larson, various scientists and ministers, students and faculty from the school offered enough variety so that everyone was pleased. The Student Vestry, like the Junior Altar Guild, Chapel Assistants, and Acolytes, is another step by Reverend Robinson and the school to get students more interested and involved in the morning Chapel services. While the Student Vestry is still only on the ground level there is much hope that in future years the entire student body will become active in it. 129 BACK ROW: R. Rybak. D. Gay. R. Arnold. M.

Along with dealing with internal school problems such as checking the lunch menu and holding dances, the Student Council this year began a program to help broaden the realization of Breck students about the surrounding area. By sending students to both Sheltering Arms and Michael Dowling Schools the Student Council hopes to give students experience which can’t be taught in a classroom.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The 1969 Breck football team will not be remembered for it’s exceptional record because it only won one game the whole season. But led by Captain Jim Rollwagen, this year’s football team made school spectators proud of Breck with its exciting, enthusiastic and hardnosed style of play which was displayed throughout the campaign. Through all of the player’s estimation and certainly in Coach Blatherwick’s opinion, the team played well enough during most of the schedule to win the M.I.S.L. title. However, due to untimely penalties, pass interceptions, terminating surging drives, and costly fumbles inside the opposition’s 20-yard line, the team’s goal was never attained. The brightest moment during the season occurred at Concordia when Breck defeated the Beacons, 20-14. In the game, Gary Phelps caught a pass from quarterback Mat Curran and raced 60-yards for the score. The team also intercepted five passes to help control the game. At homecoming, a much bigger Blake eleven took a commanding 19-0 lead early in the game but then went on to watch Breck score two touchdowns, one of which the referee called back, and almost a third as time ran out at the half. Game after game, Breck’s interior lines were often outweighed by as much as twenty pounds per man. Although the team became dejected and somewhat downhearted after every apparent win slipped from their grasp due to fumbles and interceptions, the players never gave up and retained their style of toughness throughout the season. The following players received awards at the end of the season: Most Valuable Player — Jim Rollwagen Fighting Heart Award — Mat Curran Most Improved Player — Scott Harrison Best Offensive Lineman — Bill Cole Best Defensive Lineman — John Leemhuis All-Conference — Jim Rollwagen and Bill Cole Next Year’s Captain — Peter Oehler I i % Coach Blatherwick: Always an inspiration to a ballplayer. Phelps sidesteps a tackier after a short reception. Minneapolis Lutheran back smothered with still All-conference tackle. Cole, fires up the defense. Often outweighed, enthusiasm was the key to a great defense. Great pass, good catch. “Don’t you wish they’d let us play too, Ann?” Shattuck’s quarterback dropped for a loss by Johnson. Leemhuis gets hauled down from behind by Blake, but There was no way he’d have gotten through there. 144 A hole opens up and John goes for a gain. rC 'f -1 Tripped up after a short gain by Rollwagen. only four of their players were left standing. Roily and Fabel bring down a runner the hard way ... on their knees. A good hard tackle: Not uncommon throughout the whole season. Peeps shakes a tackier for one of his several long gains at Concordia. Mat lets loose with a bomb to get us out of our own territory. Curran hands off to Oehler on a dive play 146 A great reception on a tackle eligible by the Captain. Lined up, everyone thinks about his own job to make the play go. F.B., our 160 lbs. guard, keeps Shattuck’s All-conference tackle out of the backfield. Catches like these by Jordan, all season, showed his exceptional ability to get to the ball. Once Peter got through the line, there was almost no stopping him. LEFT TO RIGHT. FIRST ROW: J. Cross. R. Gilbert. B. VanSlyke. E. Ware. N. Murray. G. Dow. W. Ahern. E. Thayer. THIRD ROW.

THE CORONATION 1969 Homecoming festivities began with the Queen's Tea where members of the football team and the senior class chose five finalists to compete for Breck Homecoming Queen. This year’s contestants, Sue Coffey, Heidi Hamlin, Michelle Sexton, Nancy Krause, Peggy Wigren and their escorts, attended the coronation where Mr. Blatherwick was to crown the new Queen. Aided by the 1968 Queen, Cheryl Erickson, he gave the crown to Sue Coffey to reign over Breck activities for the following year. The 1969 Soccer Season was a disappointment as the team finished by winning only 2 and tying 2 games. However the record is not necessarily representative of the team’s capabilities. Breck defeated last year’s Champions, Benilde, 2-1 and tied Shattuck 1-1. The defense had the personnel to be the best in the league with Captain Tom Sinclair and Alan Larkin, backed up by Roger Eastman, next year’s Captain. But injuries plagued the squad and very seldom did it function together. The offense had trouble getting started and scored only 11 goals all season, with 5 coming in the second half of the Brady game, producing a 5-4 victory.

But the success of a J.V. team must be measured in skills and experience obtained. In this category the team was highly successful, thanks to the fine coaching of Mr. James Ross. The team was exceptionally young, consisting of mostly 8th and 9th graders. Another year and they will easily fit into the Varsity roster. 160 TOP HOW: J. M«y Hedolph, J. Criat. M. Meyers, T.

The general atmosphere of the evening program was radically changed with the use of Mr. Nelson’s ‘theatre in the round’ stage, a piece of property fast becoming a familiar Breck institution. The performance was well attended. The activities being brought out into the audience, for the first time enabled the parents to observe it from virtually all sides. Although the tones of these performances, directed by Mrs. Tozer, has not changed for years the effect of the new stage was to enhances the activities taking place. Streaks of genius came through to the viewers with a clarity never before beheld on such a spectacular scale. The evening was a great success, and at the end everyone gathered in the main hall. Giving everyone a chance to relax and talk together, the atmosphere immediately became casual as everyone gradually left. Another annual affair took place in the chapel that morning when Santa Claus and his wife Mrs. Claus arrived to speak to the assembled student body. 164 MID WINTER 1970 As a rule, Breck dances have always been traditional,with little visible change from year to year. However, this year’s Mid-Winter broke the tradition and will perhaps be remembered as the most unique in recent years. For the first time the dance was held in the school gymnasium, providing more room and better surroundings. As usual, the real credit belonged to four seniors, Chris Davis, Scott Templin, Tom Boblett, and Dave Hohman, for their work on decorations and a fantastic light show. Perhaps, these changes were also responsible for the unusually large turn-out at the dance. Hopefully, future Breck dances will continue to be as successful and well planned as Mid-Winter 1970. 166 If you look way in the back, on top of the bleachers. Dave, Chris. Tom.

The most notable deficit was the lack of a “big man.” On both offense and defense, the absence of height was obvious, making rebounding a real problem. Another factor was a lack of depth, with only four returning letter-men on the team. However, the team worked hard and improved immensely as the season progressed. Good shooting, better ball-handling skills, and a very tough zone defense gave the squad two well-earned victories over St. Bernards and St. Paul Academy. There were also several close losses throughout the season and the team was never really outclassed on the court. The following players received these awards at the end of the season: Most Valuable Player — Mat Curran All-Conference — Mat Curran Next year’s Captain’s — Gary Phelps Kirk Springsted Rollwagen jumps against Biake. 169 On a break-away, Phelps beats his man for a tally.

However, this season allowed the two star players, Jim Cross and George Flora, an excellent opportunity to refine their aggressive style, enabling them to possibly join the Varsity ranks next year Richard Arnold was voted the Junior Varsity’s Most Valuable Player at the end of the season.

Joan Kichenlaub, Mary Pick, Kevin GIRLS BASKETBALL In the team’s first year of competition with other league schools, the Breck girls basketball team fared very well against often times much more experienced feminine athletes. One of the most exciting games of the season was the team’s first victory at Minnehaha. In the final seconds, Chris Ranz intercepted the ball and passed it to Sarah Drill who was immediately fouled. The score was 17-17 and with only four seconds left to play in the game. Captain Drill had to make at least one of the points in order to gain a victory. Consequently, she sunk both baskets and the score ended in a 19-17 win for the girls. In another arousing game, this time with S.P.A.-Summit, the girls pulled together and really hustled to defeat the, up until that time, only undefeated team in the league, 29-26. However, the fourteen members who comprised the team, all played exceptionally well and are looked at in much esteem by their fellow Breck students and are definitely expected to bring home championships for at least the next two years. 1970 Game Record OPPONENT Minnehaha Concordia S.P.A.-Summit Minnehaha ...

VARSITY WRESTLING Although this year’s record was far from impressive, with few wins and less pins, the team improved greatly as the season progressed. Many conference matches were lost by merely a few points, which a win or a pin could have prevented. As in past years, Breck has had a shortage of good wrestlers in the higher weight classes, forfeiting at least one class most of the season. Breck finished fourth in the M.I.S.L. Tournament at Blake, with Junior Rob Fischer taking a well-deserved first place, completing a 19-0 season record, Senior Dave Baird and Sophomore Dave Johnson taking second places, and Mike Rybak, a Sophomore, and Steve Field, a Junior, taking third places. Under co-captains Rob Fischer and Dave Baird, and Coach Gary Jacobson, this was a building year. The team is losing four seniors, but it is hoped that younger wrestlers can fill in next year as the veterans move up to higher weight classes, and hopefully, higher achievements. The following players received awards at the end of the season: Most Valuable Player — Rob Fischer Trophy for Most Pins — Mike Rybak Next Year’s Captains — Rob Fischer Mike Rybak Fischer rides his man into a comer.

VARSITY HOCKEY The 1970 Breck hockey team finished the season with an almost even won-lost-tie record of 11-13-1. The pucksters ended up in third place in the M.l.S.L. with a respectable 4-4 conference record. The season began on a high note as Sophomore Bob Van Slyke tallied three goals for a hat-trick in the opening game. The season continued at an exciting pace as Junior George Johnson banged in three goals against North. Johnson scored his second hat-trick of the season in a Mustang victory over Irondale. Senior Captain, Scott Henderson, followed the underclassman’s example by blasting Shattuck with three goals to lead his team to their first conference victory. Underclassmen were predominant throughout the team. Sophomores Don Stacy and John Ware shared the goaltending chores and are expected to be great assets to the teams of the next two years. Juniors Jim Fox, Peter Oehler, Scott Harrison, Kim Jaker and Freshman Bryan Gerrish made up two-thirds of the de- fense and the underclassmen line of Johnson, Olson, and Van Slyke was the productive scoring line. However, although the underclassmen made up a large part of the team, the Seniors didn’t let themselves go unnoticed. Henderson, Dave Hohman, and George Mills together tallied twenty-seven goals and fifty points, while Preston Haglin, Mike Elnicky, and Bill Cole helped to strengthen the defense. High scorers were: Goals Assists Points George Johnson 26 18 44 Dave Hohman 13 11 24 Bob Van Slyke 9 12 21 Scott Henderson 13 6 19 Jeff Olson 9 8 17 On Awards Day, the following players received awards: Most Valuable Player — Scott Henderson All-Conference — Scott Henderson M.l.S.L.

C-SQUAD AND BANTAM HOCKEY This year, Breck’s C-Squad hockey team entered the Minneapolis B-Bantam League and took first place with an 8-0-0 record. However, starting with little experience. Coach Dolan had his team concentrate on skating instead of checking. In both leagues, they were always the smallest team, in size, and as the C-Squad, they lost their first three games of the season; then they came on strong to beat Nazareth Hall, 18-1. This victory brought the team to life. Winning the next seven games in a row, the C-Squad went on to make their overall record an impressive 19-7-1, tying Blake for second place in the M.I.S.L The highlight of the season was a 3-1 win over Blake. Wally Ahern and Bryan Gerrish were the most productive scorers for the team, and Bryan was elected the team’s most valuable player. Gerrish scores. Shepherd faces off. LEFT TO RIGHT: Jennifer Garlid.

During the weeks the girls have diligently practiced their routines, often working as late as the Varsity football and hockey teams. It is these wonderful hard-working girls who have helped to build the strong school spirit we now have. 191 SENIOR MEMORIES .. .a-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bobber Ahrens ..Dr. x ...freds out ...quack ..

Olympus where there is no horizon, where earth and crystal sky are welded where twisted branches, caught in mid-sentence glisten silently, eternally. Now that past is every moment fading against my eyes like the glaring memory of a sunflash, still warped blending with the anti-color of the mind. Wooshed freely away in a whirlwind, now clean of human form, a single spirit weaving among dazzling tones, blinded between rushing cymbols. We need not speak, clutching and searching this arrogant ecstacy, groping in blinking white fantasy for ... no, not really— only laughter swooping and swelling and burning with strange nervous strength. I force this dimension deeper into my chest in spite of shame. And even this is past now. I gaze upon ice: delicate, perfect, spiritual and tears skidding down my face freeze into timelessness. —James Jordan n Did part of me die ? No. Part of me wants to live again.

But there is none for me. For there is no truth in it. I have found none circling me, but have had to search vainly years on end, for this emptiness I now find. This thing I search for is the true aim of life: to be fully accepted by all you love, and know the happiness of death. 196 —Diane —Diane Austin SAD HAPPINESS FREEDOM Sometimes you just want to think alone, ‘cause it’s Friday, and you’re anxious for the night. The sky is bunched up with clouds, and the sun jumps through where it can. The temperature is meant for a spring jacket. The trees wave at the sky, as they keep the clouds moving on this dismal day that wants to rain, but can’t. But today is a thinker’s day. The people are few and far away, as in a dream. It’s the kind ofday you need once in a while to clean out your mind. A day you listen to the words of the songs you hear. A day when you would like to smoke, even though you don’t. A day when you notice the squirrels out to play, and the birds flying overhead. Looking at the dandelions, whose hairs turn grey and blows away. —Scott Henderson ALONE As I sit in my silence, I watch the sun high high above the sea. I see a gull flying over the ocean. He swoops, and swirls, and glides, as if his power knows no bounds. You can see the content in his eyes. They’re sparkling and overflowing with joy. He hasn’t a care in the entire world, but to fly high above the ocean. He is coming nearer to me and circles over my head. We have become friends, he knows I admire, and worship him, for his complete freedom, but now he is leaving for me never to see again. —Sherrie Brings The sky was wide and grey and dark, the branches bold and black and stark. The sands lay motionless below, a sheet of cream, like untouched snow. The waves went on for miles alone, billowing, grey, with frosty foam. The wind blew stronger across the shore where no ship had ever dared to moor. Then all again was quickly still at sea and shore and rock and hill. Many days went by, and all I saw were the reflections of her fingers in the soft summer pond. Encircling all my mind they swept swiftly past the mirror to the sea One visitor alone this tiny place allured, a tiny black speck among the sands; his face was ruddy, his complexion raw, his eyes undaunted, and what he saw was little more than anyone had seen: some trees, a shore, and a peaceful sky, an ocean, a rock; he was not wise but somehow seemed above the rest, perhaps because he walked where no man went.

I force negatives to mind that I cannot swear are but snatches of undreamt nightmares lurking in some swampy pool of thought. Faded numbers and letters bleed over a nameless laughing face, as frozen into death as stone etchings decaying in some lost catacomb. I wanted to call out as he turned and shuffled away into a new decade. MAN —James Jordan A shadow, an image of some higher form, intangible, unexplainable. Is that man? An idea, a concept of some goal out of reach, unattainable. Is that man? Vicky McComb A mind, an image scanning the universe for knowledge. Is that man? THE VAST KINGDOM A cool thunderclap reverberates in the chamber of my love And my soul is viled in oblivious hell for a segment of time. These many glowing summers have withered dim beneath both warm hands; The clasp of nature and god has traversed the tranquility of the Styx But first the beckoning of my interval existence is sent drifting out.
