WALTER BORIS BOORIAK Marymount Military Academy claimed Walt Booriak as a member of their student body for a year before he headed north to the big city and the school at Tenth and Miller. In the spring of '54, after getting acquainted with the lives and customs of Prepsters, he donned his thinclads and presented himself to Mr. Ahern, coach of the track squad. Walt stuck it out for three years and lettered while he was a Junior. This gave him the opportunity to join the Lettermans' Club 4. He was also found on the football field scoring a touch- down every once in a while for the Varsity. Turning to the maple courts we see Walt playing a lot of Intramural basketball for 4A. His ambition in this sport is to outshoot and outscore Mike Albrecht someday. ROBERT WALTER BOUSE If you should be greeted by a smile that stretches from ear to ear, you can be sure that that smile belongs to none other than Robert Bouse. Bringing his infectious smile into the Prep atmosphere from St. john's in 1953, Robert immediately got into the swing of things by joining the Sodality 1, 2. Since seeing what makes radios tick is one of Bob's hobbies, he joined the Radio Club 1, 2, 3. In his junior year the speaking bug bit him and he became a finalist in the Senior Elocution Contest. Cars and the urge to swoop down a snowy mountainside on a pair of skiis are Robert's remaining two interests. His dreams include a future as an electrical engineer. ffffwkm H, t I 1 A . gd 4.,it W 1. so s it srsfrpf .fwfr J, LA i lfqkk lil I ., Sz mm.-I 5 'I , x W i . . 3 -J X . 1 am. . .1 . , 55,5 ' 5' tx ' 5 .

EDWARD GEORGE BROWN A voice yells out, What d'ya say, Goose? and who should walk around the corner but that little man with the big mitt, Ned Brown. When Ned came to Prep, basketball was the first big attrac- tion so he spent a season with the Cubs. After that, he put on the catcher's mask and played behind the plate for the Soph.- Frosh. Baseball soon became Darb's first love and he spent his remaining three years calling signals for the Varsity. For this service he was awarded three big S's and three white stripes. But Ned proved that sports weren't the only thing that he knew how to do well. He was ASSP Secretary 3, Student Council member 3, 4, Athletic Director of 1A and ZA, Letterman's Club 3, 4, and is now its Sec.-Treas. Panther Club member 3, 4, and its Veep 4, Pep Club Prexy 4, Prom Committee 3, Echo Typing Editor 4, and League of the Sacred Heart 3, 4. Ned's ambition is to see the girl that refuses Albrecht a date and then he wants to head upstairs and play ball for the big leagues. X.

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.

MICHAEL BRUHN Across the glimmering waters of Lake Washington stretches the Floating Bridge and across this bridge to Prep each day comes Mike Bruhn. Straight from the far off East Seattle School of Mercer Island came Mike, and immediately he became everybody's friend. His hobby is music, and his favorite saying is, Relax, ulcers are a dime a dozen. When he first came to Prep, Mike joined the Pep Band, and now at the end of his senior year he is one of the few four year veterans. Slipstick's ambition is to be a political scientist or a sociologist, but if he can't do that he will be perfectly satisfied if he can get Fr. Boyle to talk himself into a corner. ROCK CALEY Moose romped into Prep as a Fresh- man from St joseph's, and, practically before his first class, was down at Mont- lake displaying his prowess as a Frosh tackle. A two-year letterman, Rock played football 1, 2, 3, 43 and basketball 1, 2, 3, 43 joining the varsity in his Senior year. An outstanding player, he was elected to the All Northwest Catholic Football First Team. In addition to these accomplish- ments, Rock served a term as class secre- I tary of 4B, again proving his popularity around Prep. During the cold months, he can be found swooping down the snowy mountainsides with as much exuberance as he shows on the football held. His am- bition is to be a lawyer, and if popularity and good humor have anything to do with success, Rock will make a wonderful mouthpiece 5 i FRANK BUONO The Debate Club missed a bet when iey didn't sign up Frank Buono, a fellow ho can talk himself in and out of any- iing. Although he may not be the best, : is definitely the 'longest talker at Prep. s a Freshman he orated himself into the bs of class Veep, Sodality member, cheer- ader, football manager, and Cub basket- ill star. He continued with the sodality r two years and then joined the League the Sacred Heart. Having been a class cretary as a junior, he was elected Vice- 'esident of the Student Body and of the Ludent Council. lt was in his Senior year lat the Rabbi again resumed his duties . a yell leader. Frank's hobbies are con- fntrating on the opposite sex and mixing Jeveragesf' After graduation he plans to ad his own pilgrimage to Palestine and :en to return home and set himself up in isiness. 23 GARY MICHAEL CALLERO This year's editor-in-chief of the Echo, Gary Callero, is one of the boys from the wild and woolly woods of West Seattle where he graduated from Holy Rosary grade school. HRELAX ! l ! you'll live longer, is the cry he introduces himself with, but this does not apply to his activi- ties, which includeg student council 4, Sodality 1, Panther Staff 1, 2, 4, Pep Club 4, Harlequin Club 3, and, of course, Echo Staff 4. Out of the mass of humanity and confusion in room 23, Gary organized the '57 Echo, in spite of Mr. Olivier. A true Prepster, Gary has a very noble ambition -to get some homework in on time. After he has achieved this goal, he intends to pursue a career as a civil engineer.
