PAT JAMES CARAHER In 1953 Pat Caraher entered Prep from the far ,North and Assumption Grade School. Along with his studies, he tried his hand with the Cub basketball team. In his Sophomore year he turned from the hoop to the diamond and made the Soph- Frosh baseball team. And he is out running the field again this year. His loyal spirit and friendly personality won him a posi- tion with the Broom Pushers, the Panther Club, 45 and Fr. McHugh chose him as a member of the exclusive Sodality of our Lady, 4. After his graduation Pat plans to continue his education at the U and if he wins the teachers there as he has won us here, he is bound to be a big success. WILLIAM HAROLD CASTLE When springtime rolls around and the track team starts its turnouts, who should you see tossing the lead shot around but Bill Castle. An ardent trackman, Bill has turned out for this sport since he was a sophomore and has earned three Varsity letters. This gave him the right to join the Letterman's Club 3, 4. But track isn't his only sport for Bill also played Frosh football and Soph-Frosh baseball. In his sophomore year, he played B-Squad foot- ball and then, after a year's layoff, re- turned to the gridiron in a Varsity role. Bill's favorite saying is Hey, Tom Wold! and he uses these same words whether he's getting mad at or just saying hello to his fellow track-mate. After graduation he plans on studying to become the best M. D. in the city. M. .,.,.,.,, ..,,,. . . if 2 i Ziefa Iiii .1 . HAROLD WILLIAM CON KLIN Hailing from a colder clime, Bill Conklin decided to get a taste of jesuit education and entered Prep in 1953 from Ketchikan Alaska. The cheerful but silent type, Bill has made himself known around the school through his varied activities, which include: class veep 45 Letterman's Club 2, 3 and vice president of that group 4. Attracted by the bright lights of the stage, he joined the school Thespians in their production of The Miser 4. Athletics also caught his eye with: Frosh football 1, track 1, 2, 3, and Varsity football 2,1 4. His superb er- formance on the gridiron earned for him the Inspirational Award 4 and the honor of being named to the All Northwest Catholic Football lst team, 4. Looking over these achievements, we can be assured that Bill's high scholastic record and well- rounded activities attest to the future success of this Prepster. JOHN HENRY COUGHLIN john Coughlin came from St joseph's in 1953 and made good at Seattle Prep with a well- rounded background of activities. While he was a sophomore, he wanted to see what the Sodality had to offer, so he joined that group for a year. Also wanting to do some newspaper writing, john became a member of the staff of the Panther 2, 3, 4. In his junior year he became interested in speaking, so he signed up for the Hearst Oratory Contest and worked his way up to the school finals. Then in the spring of '56, john joined the newly-formed Tennis Team 3, 4, and scooted up to the No. 2 position. His hobby is taking vacations, any time of the yearg and his future ambition is to become either a lawyer or a journalist.

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.

LOUIS THOMAS COZZETTI In 1953, dirty Lou, as he is lovingly referred to by Father Weissenberg, came from St. joseph to Seattle Preparatory School, and, we here at Prep, witnessed the beginning of a spectacular, high-school career. Varsity basketball has been good this last year, and Cozzetti has helped to make it so. He saw action in the field of hoop and ball for three years. He did a good job. Rock Caley and Murphy are his pet peeves. Okay big boy tCaleyD, you asked for it is one of his fre- quent sayings. And when Murph tries the long one, Nooo Murph is his cry. Louis cannot decide what his true vocation is. But, watch for him. He is really going places! RICHARD THOMPSON DAVIDSON JR. Dickie Davidson, the next senior to jump into the Echo spotlight, glibly re- marks, Do I care? If it's in regard to Prep activities, we think the answer to this former St. Anne's boy's question is yes. Starting down on the Montlake field, he played Frosh football, B squad football 2, and Varsity ball 4. In the in- terims he played Frosh basketball, joined the intramural All-Stars 3, 4, and pounded the cinders with the track team 2. His JOHN WILLIAM CURRAN VVhen john first came to Prep from St. Jseph's, he set out to prove that the best :ings really do come in small packages. e played Frosh football under Coach hern and then turned out for Cub basket- tll. In his junior year he heard that a 'nnis team was being organized and j.C. :lped to mal-ze it one of the best first-year 'ams in the city. For some strange reason 2 seems to think that he will need money his later life, so his hobby right now is 1 earn it. This energetic Senior lists as his vorite saying,- It's probably so. mhn's ambition is to be at least semi- rccessful in the future, but that will take backseat until he fulfills his first ambition -to grow. popularity and athletic prowess earned for him the title of class athletic manager 2, 3 and membership in the Letterman's Club 3, 4. The Ski Team made Dick their president this year. But his love for that sport doesn't stop there, because he's still willing to teach Mr. Ahern the tricks of his slippery trade. After that he'll settle down to managing his father's business. 25 ' ii 5 l DAVID LEE DENINI Bulldozing his way into Prep from the northern territory called Blessed Sacra- ment, Dave has made his way through high-school in a jovial, robust mood. Whirl- ing around the gridiron, Dave took up the football challenge in his Freshman year and went on to Varsity 2, 3, 4. But football has not been his only field of activity, for Dave has participated in Track 1, Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Letterman's Club 2, 3, 4, Pep Club 4, and Harlequin Club 2, 3, 4. In addition to all this, he seems to be a man who can usually be counted on to supply the Harlequins with home-made statues, or any other club with signs and posters. Dave hopes to capitalize on his talents with a course in art at Seattle University. ESQ! 'Q ' ,. ... ,... L ,, , , .,,, . . it - :Elf XMAS 'L V W2
