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

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.

A JOHN SCOTT DAVIS Though, without an introduction, one would hardly know that Spike was there, still in missing his acquaintance, one would be deprived of a very pleasant ex- perience. At any of the Prep games you can be sure that in the front row, there is Spike, rooting Prep on to triumph. He was a loyal sodalist his Soph and Senior year. His car and skill with the old shuttle- buggy brought him to the city finals in the Teen-Age Rodeo in 1956. When Betsy is running, Spike smiles, and in his quaint way says, sounds like awinner. john wants to be a civil engineer. That calls for work and study and sacrifices, and everyone here at Prep feels that Spike can fill the bill. FRANK R. DEMEYER With a grandiose vocal blast we an- nounce Frank DeMeyer, who came to Prep as the bequest of Holy Rosary Grade School. This scholastically inclined orator has been kept busy helping to fill our trophy cases. He participated in the Gold Medal Debate in his Sophomore year. His speaking prowess and the many forensic laurels, gained during his four year mem- bership in the Debate Club, earned him the job of president of that particular or- ganization in his senior year. And not to be confined to the speaking field, Frank added his writing ability to the Panther Staff 1, 2, 3, and to the Echo Stafi 4. He finds relaxation for his vocal chords by pursuing the hobbies of boating and water skiing. His calling in life has not yet been determined, aside from his particular avo- cation to drive Mr. Brands crazy. ? MICHAEL EDWARD DONOHUE Cyrano's my name, says our next senior, Mike Donohue, who talked his way into Adelphia's halls from St. Pat's in 1953, and has been talking ever since. But there is good reason for his loquaciousness, because Mike has been high on the list of Prep's speakers during his high school career. Picking the field which best suits his talent, he has participated in Debate Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Harlequin Club 3, 43 Pan- ther Staff 1, 2, 3, 4gjun1or Elocution winner 1 and Senior Elocution finalist 3. He says he hates people, but this couldn't be so because he gives away his affection for people in his ambition-to become presi- dent of Murder, Inc. Whether he suc- ceeds in attaining this worthwhile goal or not, we'll be hearing more from Mike. LAURENCE ERWIN DOUGHTY ln 1953, one hundred and thirty-two freshmen entered Seattle Prepg it wasn't long afterwards that a hundred and thirty-one of them came to recognize the antics of one Larry Doughty. Hailing from St. john's School, Larry soon became the president of the Seattle Prep Chapter of Greater Ballard, Inc. He lists his hobbies as cars and girls, and he has shown that he also has a great liking for the powdery stuff by joining the Ski Club 4. Buzz is always trying to improve his social knowledge and is often overheard asking such pertinent questions as, Is this the party room? Larry's plans include attending college to become an ace physicist, and then using this knowledge of sound and amplitude as Commander-in-chief of a circus band.
