MICHAEL LOUIS ALBRECHT In September of 1953, Mike .Albrecht made the long journey from Bellevue jr. High to Seattle Prep. This became a mo- mentous occasion for both Mike and Prep, for Mike was to receive a good Catholic foundation for his future and Prep was to receive the talents of a very active young man. Mike started off with a bang by being elected Pres. of 1A and Captain of the Frosh football team. He also turned out for the Ski Club and played Cub basketball and Soph.-Frosh. baseball. The next year saw him President of 2A and the proud possessor of the first of three Varsity letters which he won on the mound for the Panthers. Finally he was elected Student Body Prexy in his Senior year. Some of his other activities were Letterman's Club 3-4, Panther Club 3-4, Prom Committee Chair- man 3, and Echo Business Manager 4. Mike, can frequently be heard exclaiming, What a queen! His ambition is to an- nihilate Bakun with much suffering on Andy's part. M: Il GARY GILBERT AREL The year 1956 saw Gary tramping up Seattle way from Acalanes High School in Lafayette, California. He immediately started making friends and became very popular at Prep. Having arrived in the middle of his junior year, he really became active as a Senior. Bunny was elected class Veep, joined the Pep Club and be- came its Sergeant-at-arms, and signed up with the Harlequin Club. He took over the title role in The Miser, and, by reason of his fine performance, was chosen the best actor of the Senior Class. Besides drama, he likes reading and jazz. Before he leaves the city, Gary wants to build a four-lane turnpike between Holy Names, Forest Ridge, and Prep. Next stop-Santa Clara and a dental course. ANDREW BAKUN III Here, in the form of one tall and lanky tow-headed senior, we have none other than Andy Bakun. Hailing from St. Cath- erine's in the North End, he came to Prep as a freshman and has been here ever since. The Seattle Prep Panther caught Andy's eye and he became a reporter for that newsrag 1, 2. Affectionately called Smooth Drew by his classmates, Andy spends most of his spare time making friends around the school. He does not neglect his studies, though, which is shown by his high average in the Honor Classical Course, and his recent qualification in the National Merit Scholarship Exam. Always a cheer- ful soul, Andy can be frequently heard exclaiming, Hey, Mister, tell Albrecht to shut up. GARY WILLIAM BALDWIN In 1953, Gary made the relatively short trip to Adelphia from Holy Family School. Now he makes the comparatively long trip to school all the way from the town of Puyallup. Figuring he should attend to spiritual things first, he signed up with the Sodality for four years. When the call came out for entrants in the Senior Elocution Contest, Baldi's name headed the list and he became a Finalist 3, 4. ln his senior year he joined the Debate Club and the Echo staff of which he was named Copy Editor. Once in college, Gary plans to major in Animal Husbandry because as a farmer and debater I've had so much experience with bulls. Seriously, though, he hopes to earn a Ph. D. This seems to follow, because his hobbies are music and writing, and his favorite and most frequent saying is, Who's got the Greek translation?

GEORGE EDWARD BANNISTER In 1955, George Bannister made a big migration from one hilltop to another. Leaving Queen Anne High School, George journeyed to Capitol Hill and entered Prep as a sophomore. He joined in the spirit of things and his fellow schoolmates elected him Secretary-Treasurer, 2. It was about this time that the nickname Roger stuck: and although George could not quite make the four- minute mile like his slightly slimmer namesake, he did manage to play a little B Squad Football for the Panthers in his third year. George's hobbies are boating and hunting, and when he makes up his mind, we will see him as either a lawyer or as the second Dr, Roger Bannister. BRIAN THEODORE BELL Here, in the form of Prep's ambassador from Vashon Island, is one of the finest athletes ever to attend our school. This young man, a '53 graduate from St. joseph's, started his term at the Inter- laken Institution by playing Frosh foot- ball. He lettered in Varsity baseball as a Frosh. As a Sophomore, he played Varsity basketball and baseball, lettering in both sports 2, 3, 4. In his junior year Brian returned to the gridiron and became Var- sity quarterback 3, 4. Among some of his athletic honors are these awards: All-City Catholic in baseball and All-Catholic Northwest and All-State non-Tourney in basketball. In addition to these, B. B., served on the Prom Committee 3 and in the Letterman's Club 2, 3, 4. Brian can frequently be heard exclaiming What the fuzz, especially when trying to persuade Fr. Falsetto to give him an HA. His big goal in life is to teach Rock Caley how to block. This should be good preparation for him, if he goes into teaching and coaching in high schools as he plans. THOMAS JOSEPH BARRETT That's the way the cookie crumbles, ys Tom Barrett former inmate of St. 1eresa's Grade School and a four year ember of our own jesuit institute. As on as he alighted on Prep soil, Tom sod back and surveyed the situation, and -cided to cast his lot with the Sodality, iere he remained for four years. In his '-moments from studying, Tom spends s time finding out what makes guns tick. Jm has two unquenchable desires. The st is to worm his way into the company that elite clique known as the dirty ree. Then he hopes to launch his career a writer under the nom de plume of Jmbo. 21 'L f 153 . ,Y ,R GREGORY LOUIS BERNIER Another fugitive from St. joe's, Greg Bernier entered Prep in 1953. Chuggin around Seattle's hills in his Austin, which he dreams of getting in shape for the drags at Arlington, Greg makes his way to and from school and his job at the Public Library. Aside from his particular yen for tinkering with his car, Greg has only one desire, to become an accountant. Taking time from his job, he has been an active Sodalist during his four year stay at Prep, and has added his writing ability to this year's Echo. After Greg does away with all women drivers, he'll settle down to finish his schooling. Until then we'll wait for those all-important letters to be tacked after his name-C.P.A.
