Now North Dakota should go all the way out to here. HISTORY The Brcck student must learn to think critically regarding the history of his country and of the world. The history program aims at developing the ability to select truths with an open and unbiased mind, to weigh evidence, to equate differing view points, and to organize ideas into meaningful patterns. Geography and American history arc taught in the seventh and eighth grades, respectively. The course offered in the sophomore year deals with the history of modem Europe. In the junior year, a more comprehensive American history class is required of all boys. United States government and political science is an elective open to seniors. In this course, the student achieves an understanding and an appreciation of the nature of his government and of his responsibility as a member of that government. He develops a love of and a loyalty to his nation. Mr. C. J. Heaser, B.S., M.A. Upper School Social Studies 24 Mr. Vernon Skari, B.A. Upper School Social Studies

Mr. Robert Aarthun Director of Upper School Athletics SPORTSMANSHIP Although sportsmanship is not a subject taught in the classroom, it is one of the most important essentials in life. It is the purpose of the Brcck School athletic program not to create All-Americans but to develop leadership, a sense of loyalty, and teamwork. Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Aarthun, the Brcck athletic teams have grown in number and in strength. Since he came to Brcck both tennis and soccer have been added to the sports program. Even with the small number of students here Brcck teams have been becoming, on the whole, consistently stronger. 25 Mr. Philiippe Verbrugghen Director of Lower School Athletics
