JOHN FRANCIS BRADLEY Another St. Benedict's lad that made ood is Omar Bradley. john joined Sodality 1 and Letterman's Club 4. But he really hit his stride as Football Manager 2-3-4, especially as Head Manager 4. When not trying to retrieve towels and sweat shirts in the locker room, john runs up to the Ridge to see a certain Fran, His other extra-curricular activities include wrecking his car and fixing it. His ambition is to give Preston enough towels to get him completely dry. Though we doubt whether that ambition will be realized, we know that the hard work that has made this boy a success in Prep will see him through life in good stead. , Y ' , -15. N1 GERALD EDWARD BRANDMEIER A Prepster with Technicolor, jerry ar- rived from Blessed Sacrament in '52, His red hair made him easy to spot and he was soon in the swing of things at Adelphia. Red's hobbies include two of the most popular activities amongst Prepsters, girls and cars-in that order. Though he was only in the Sodality 2, jerry found time to be one of the most prominent boosters of Prep's teams. His favorite saying is no sense of humor and his ambition is to be a success in life. jerry with his spirit and loyalty is one boy who can do just that. His real ambition, by the way, is to go out with all Merlino's true loves. Good luck, jerry! ALEXANDER WINN BRINDLE Doctor Brindle, Doctor Brindle goes the loud speaker in the hospital and Al, a graduate of Seattle Prep and Medical School, is in demand again. To be in de- mand won't be unusual for Scrooge who arrived in '52 from St. joseph's. Al was in demand on the Student Council 1-2-3-4, as Class Secretary 1-2-3 and Class Athletic Manager 2. He was in demand in Sodality 1-2, Letterman's Club 3-4, Pep Club 3, Panther Club 3-4, Secretary of that Club 4, Harlequin Club 3-4, for Green Pastures, and My Three Angel's, and on the Prom Committee 3. He was also Sports Editor of this year's Echo. On the athletic field Al was in demand for Frosh Football 1, B- Squad Football 2, Track Team 1-2, Cub Basketball 1, and Varsity Football 3-4. Al's ambition by the way is to throw Quinn in the Volunteer Park Pool. ROBERT ALAN BROWN Bob hails from St. Benedict's in the North End. Deciding to turn his full ability to one of many talents, Bob became a re- porter on the Prep Panther, 1-2-3-4, and to top off his line work he was appointed Editor-in-Chief in his final year. When not writing and making up his page he found time for Student Council 3-4 and to work on the Echo as Assistant Copy Editor. Bob's ambition is to prove Fr. Burke wrong and, though we doubt if he ever will, we are sure he will achieve his goal of getting a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. If Bob goes through life with his Whaddaya say and good humor we are sure he can achieve nearly any goal.

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.

On the first day of his ophomore year, Sam caught the wrong us and spent the whole year at 23rd and last jefferson St. A road map and the lure f a jesuit education made Sam a solid xture around Adelphia at the start of his unior year. Sam wants it to be known that e considers Parker a better hustler, but iat his own popularity in social groups roves that his favorite What's coming p the weekend? has made him a true 'repster and not a prodigal son. GERALD PATRICK BURKE Girls are my hobby says our next grateful grad, jerry Burke, who is straight from the wastelands near Holy Family Grade School. Swinging in the front door as a frosh in '52, Two Ton joined the Debate Club 1-2 and as a Senior was the third place winner in the Senior Elocution Contest, jerry's jeep has pulled more than one Prep car out of the mud and jerry's smile has pulled more than one Prepster out of a bad mood. jerry wants to blow up the Chem lab and with a little luck he might do it. His real lifetime ambition is to become a doctor. If jerry can fmd time to escape the clutches of his hobby, we know he will be a fine lVl.D. PETER ZIEGLER CAHAN Pete plunged through Prep's front door from St. Teresa's and was soon pounding the gridiron for the Frosh eleven. Though football took a lot of Pete's time, he found that such activities as Panther Club 3-4, Pep Club 2-3, Harlequin Club 3-4 and Letterman's Club 3-4 did not interfere with his athletic endeavors which include B-Squad Football 2 and Varsity 3-4. For his fine efforts on the Varsity, Pete won a position on the All-Northwest Cath- olic Football Team 4. His admittance to the Harlequin Club was won by his Fine stage crew work in Green Pastures and as a fine supporting player in My Three Angels. His ambition is both to keep Preston out of beer joints and to finish Civil Engineering School. 17 FRANK ELWELL CASE When the Frosh piled through the door, Case got a running start down the hill from St. joseph's and tore his way into activities at Prep the same way he tore into his op- ponents on the football field. His popu- arity was shown by his election to Student Council 1-2-3-4, Secretary of the Letter- man's Club 4, and President of the Panther Club 4, and Class Prexy 1-2-3. Besides Sodality 1-2-4, Frank was on the roster of the Letterman's Club 3-4, Panther Club 3-4, Pep Club 2-3, and The Harlequin Club 4 for his funny performance in My Three Angels. Frenchie has also been the center on the Frosh and B-Squad Football Teams, plus 2 years on the Varsity. The Track Team 2-3, also knew his talents. Case's ambition is to drown Brindle in the fishpool at Volunteer Park. His hobby is throwing parties.
