JOHN GARY BLOOMER Play the role, Garv! , shouts one of West Sea1tle's contributions to Prep. Jon-O en- tered Prep from James Madison Junior High in l954. He spent a year with the frosh foot- ball team, then continued with the J.V.'s. He looked good for a varsity position in his iunior year until a broken leg ended his football hopes. His other activities include: Cub Basketball and Varsity Basketball, Class Veep 2, Student Council 2, and Class Athle- tic Director 4. John claims that his ambition is to fly a B-52 around the world with Garvey and Smirnoff, but it looks as if a mechanical engineering course will take John to either Seattle U. or Gonzaga. DAVID FERDINAND BOULANGER Meet one of the laziest fire-balls at Prep -- Dave Boulanger. Coming from St. John's in 1954, Dave decided to go all out for Prep, as long as it didn't interfere with his sleep. Amazingly enough, he succeeded, as his ex- tracurricular activities prove: Football l, 2, 3, 4, B-Squad 2, Varsity 3, 4, Varsity Track 2, 3, 4, Letterman's Club 3, 4, Panther Club 3, 4, Sgt. at Arms 4, and Class Athletic Director 4. Dave spends most of his time keeping his bomb running and Patty happy. Dave plans to go to college, and whatever field he chooses, if his high school record is any indication, Lazy Dave's dreams are sure to materialize. JAMES PATRICK BRADLEY Roaring down the hill from St. Joe's in the fall of '54, Brad spent a year getting ac- quainted, then flew into a maze of activities: Harlequin Club 2, 3, 4, Panther Club 3, 4, Sec.-treas. 4, Pep Club 3, 4, Student Council 3, 4, Class Pres. 3, Class Veep 4. Jim also has been selected as a CYO Boy of the Month and Exchange Club Boy of the Year. Although he claims that his life's ambition is to see Boulanger happily married, we suspect that Pharmacy School is beckoning to Jim. His enthusiasm and drive, coupled with his per- sonality, undoubtedly will help him get to the top rung of any ladder. g X 16 .tg -1 f- tr WILUAM CLARE BRILLAULT Details, minor details! This phrase char- acterizes one of the quietest and least flus- tered guys at Prep, Bill Brillault. Bronco sauntered into Prep from Assumption Grade School in the fall of 1954. He tried Frosh football, but soon switched to baseball. He played Soph-Frosh baseball l, 2, and then with the Varsity 3, 4. Bill also played J.V. football as a iunior. He is a baseball statis- tics fiend in his spare time. Bill claims that, after a few years at Santa Clara, he wants to own a newspaper with twenty pages of sports. Whatever he decides to do, Bill is sure to take all the bumps in stride. 'lt A xx 'Y' if 1 .Ex . 1-' if

COBURN ROBERT Al.I.EN When Cobe thundered into Prep with the rest of the St. .loe's herd in 1954, he quickly found his favorite activity-driving the Jesuits bats. Cobe also participated in the follow- ing activities: Glee Club l, 2, 3, 47 Sodality l, 2, 3, and Harlequin Club 3, 4, H.M.S. Pinafore. Cobe spends much of his spare time churning up the waters of Lake Wash- ington in his boat. He claims it is his ambi- tion to solder a lead ball on Fr. Weissen- :erg's chain , but a career engaged in per- sonnel work will probably interfere with his alans. Whatever he does, Cobe's sense of tumor and his easy-going manner will be a :ig asset. MARK DIETER BIEREK Prep draws transfers from many places, but Mark undoubtedly holds the distance record for a transfer student-about five thousand miles, give or take a few hundred, from Hohenlimburg, Germany. Mark lettered in track in his iunior and senior years, and as a result became a member of the Letter- man's Club in his senior year. He liked to give Mr. Tri a bad time in study hall, and enioyed tearing around in his rod. He claims that he is going to the '60 Olympics, but the immediate future holds in store an engineering course at some undecided college. 15 PATRICK JOSEPH BAUER Badger transferred to Prep from St. Edward's Seminary in the fall of i957 and quickly got acquainted. His digressions with Mr. Brands on the meaning of this or that word always provided 4A Latin class with a good chance to catch up on back homework or indulge in that grand old pastime -sleeping. Pat also added his vocal talents to the Glee Club this year. His favor- ite saying, Don't push the panic button, is typical of his easy-going attitude. He claims that his ambition is to own a few 'hot bombs, ' and feels the need of an engineer- ing course at S.U. to help him keep the bombs going.

FLOYD PHILIP BROWN Ol' Dependable Phil, barged into Prep in T4 from St. Benedict's. After procrastinating ir a year, Phil ioined the Harlequins, by 'orking on the stage crew of the 'Mikado. s a iunior, Phil was promoted to stage man- ger of The Miser, and of the spring pro- Jction, H.M.S. Pinafore, and in his senior ear, he worked on both plays. Ten Little ndians and The Taming of the Shrew. Iso, this year, Phil was Editor-in-chief of the :ho. Quite a math student, he plans to at- nd S.U., to maior in mechanical engineer- g. Phil also plans to develop a new sham- ao for Sean Malone's curly locks. MICHAEL SALTER BURRIS Benny bounced up to Prep in 1954 from St. Theresa's. Mike was a member of the Sodality I, 2, Vice Prefect l. As a frosh, Mike ioined the Panther staff and placed third in the Junior Elocution Contest. ln his soph year, he ioined the Harlequin Club and was an active member 2, 3, 4, playing a major role in Ten Little lndians this year. Mike was elected into the Panther Club 3, and became Sec.-Treas. 4. He managed baseball 3, 4, and basketball 2. Mike also was a mem- ber of the Letterman's Club 4, Pep Club 4, and was a cheerleader 4. After graduation Mike plans to study engineering at Notre Dame. MICHAEL RICHARD CAHAN It was in the fall of 1954 that Mike Cahan climbed up the hill from St Teresa s to begin a four year stay at Prep that was to be a very remarkable one indeed. Among Mikes many activities are: class Veep 1, class Prexy 2, 3, Student Council 2, 3, A.S.S.P. Secretary- Treasurer 3, Sodality l, 2, Prefect 2, Prom Committee 3, and Panther Club 3, 4. In ath- letics, Mike further distinguished himself by playing Frosh football and Varsity football 4, basketball 2,-3, 4. Mike plans to get a good iob that will give him plenty of time to devote to his hobby-keeping Garvey from being too happy. ROY SIDNEY CARLSON, JR. Roy, the 4B Phantom , calculated his way into Prep as a frosh from Bellevue Junior High in 1954. He spends most of his time figuring out Physics and Trig problems on his slipstik , and being investigated in English class. Roy has two hobbies, archery and girls, which qualifies him for the Cupid of 1he Class of '58. His ambition is a career in nuclear physics at Santa Clara, which may lead to his other goal, to blow up Prep. Good luck in both, Roy! 17
