f' x f' fx l f I 112 MICHAEL GREGORY ANDERSEN One of the more hep boys at Adelphia, Andy bustled into Prep's halls in the fall of 53 after spending a year at St. Edward's Seminary. Almost immediately he started collecting scraps of information to help him establish his rest home for old jesuitsg but to make sure there would be some old Jesuits, Mike began to practice giving teachers gray hairs. Although this occupa- tion kept him busy, he found time to be- come one of the Glee Club's outstanding members and Typing Editor of the 56 Echo. All Prepsters figure that Mike will succeed at his ambition to be an architect if a certain Physics teacher doesn't get his hands on him first. X it if 1 i s fr fi 0 HAROLD HUGH ANTONSON My ambition is to have duels like Preston, says Hal, a former St. Margaret's lad. Hal went immediately to work on his many school activities. With his name on just about every roster in school, he was in Student Council 1, Class Veep 1, Pep Club 1-2-3, Frosh Basketball 1, Frosh Baseball 1, Class Athletic Manager 2, Radio Club 2, B - Squad Football 2, Panther Club 3-4, Varsity Football 3-4, Track Team 2-3, Sodality 3-4, Letterman's Club 4, and Harlequin Club 4, his first showing being in My Three Angels. Hal's favorite say- ing, My enemies are no friends of mine, cannot be used too often for Hal has many friends and few enemies. 14 JAMES ADRIAN BADER From the deepest part of the wooded North End comes our next graduate Corky Bader. Hailing from St. Cath- erine's to be exact, jim invaded the hill as a Frosh with the intention of having four of the most enjoyable years of his life. De- ciding a religious start would be best for him, jim associated himself with the So- dality 1-2. jim's hobby, which supposedly is participating in safe-driving contests, gives an insight into his type of humor. jim's ambition is either undecided or to own his own restaurant. But whatever it may be, the sense of humor that makes life easier for jim will put him in good stead in what- ever he does.

.lames Walsh Valedictorian D Frank Case James Tracy Inspirational Award Winner Under the admirable guidance of class Prexies Ciacobazzi, Di,lulio, and Ryan the class of '56 entered its final year. The one driving influence was the pace they had set in their first three years. With that thought in mind, seventeen Seniors were down at Montlake to try their luck on the gridiron where Tracy and Flor were elected Co-Captains. Giacobazzi received the inspirational award, at the Gridiron Banquet. Basketball was next and a fine team it was, with four Seniors starting, led by Captain George Morrison. Besides winning the First Annual Catholic Northwest Christmas Tournament the team was able to supply two members on the All-Tournament Team and four on the All-Northwest Catholic Team. This, plus two quick, decisive victories of our arch-rival O'Dea for the City Catholic Championship spelled a highly successful season. Meanwhile the Harlequin Club under Prexy Dick Johnson came through with two fine shows in My Three Angels and Mikado', with many Seniors in the cast. The Harlequins also held a very enjoyable dance at the Edmond Meany Hotel. The Debate Club with President Pete Ely came through with many first places and several more trophies for the trophy case. The paddle-wielding Lettermen's Club initiated many new Senior members under the guidance of their elected leader, Pete Giacohazzig while the Panther Club under Frank Case, along with their usual broom-pushing and ticket-taking duties, sponsored a highly successful Homecoming Dance. The PANTHER under editors Brown and Walsh and a staff of capable Seniors ferreted out the school lowdown. The Seniors indeed can look back upon a stay at Prep with success and topped by a fine last year at their Alma Mater. Salutatorian

ROGER MARTIN BELANICH Let's go in your car, says Rajji, our next grad. Hailing from St. .-Xnne's on the other hill, Rog hit Prep four years ago, liked it, and stayed. Roger likes parties and girls and has found time for both. But some other extracurricular activities took his titne. Besides going to parties, Rog was Class Yeep 2-3, Class .Xthletic hlanager 4, and zipped over the slopes of neighboring mountains with the Ski Team 4. Besides this, Rog claims metnbership on the New York Stock Exchange and is President of the First National Bank. .Xctually we know that, though his claim to these honors are unverified, he does spend his summers chasing the swimming gold, salmon, in the icy waters of .Xlaska. Vl'ith him COIIICS a guarantee that he can and will go far. Best of luck, Rog! JOHN CARL BARNES ln 1052 Prep gained a hrm backer in the person of john Barnes. He signed up for a lour year hitch in the Institution after his graduation from .-Xssumption grade aehool. XK'hile a Freshman, he spent his 'irst year study period romping with Mr. Kaufer's Cubs as a lanky center. He likes to play all sports and has indicated that he :njoys some indoor activities as well. He ms not indicated which activities however, ao everyone can draw his own conclusions. He spends some of his time working out very plausible arguments against home- work. His future plans include a reenlist- nent with the Blackrobes at Seattle l', and naybe a business of his own after gradua- ,ion. He is sure to be a success. NICHOLAS JOESPH BEZ, JR. St. Mary's yielded Adelphia one of its finest debaters four years ago. Nick wasted no time letting everyone know that he planned to make his stay at the institute of higher learning profitable. And by his activities, we see that he has swept the in- tellectual department quite completely with his work in the Debate Club 1-2-3-4, Orphean Club 1-2, and junior Elocution Finalist 1. VVhere is Ely? says Mister Buzz and when found, the two retire to a quiet corner to make up a debate speech that is bound to bury Prep's opponents under the heaps of logical arguments so forcibly applied by them. Though Nick gives no ambition, we feel sure that if we were ever in trouble with the law, Nick would make a fine lawyer to help us escape the noose. 15 THEODORE OLIVER BIRKELAND From way down South near Olympia, Washington, cotnes the next late lad to enter Prep. Leaving St. Martin's High School as a sophomore Ted entered the following year into the round of things at Prep. His real talent was on the baseball diamond where he earned a Varsity Letter B-4. Besides claiming his hobby is baseball and his nickname is .'Xlcoholic, Ted says his only desire is to manage the New York Yankees or even better to win 40 gatnes for that same team. But when not rooting for his favorite big league team Ted Ends time to back his own Prep Panthers to victory. Ted may never win his 40 gatnes but we can be assured of his success in life.
