PREFECTS Since the prefect system was initiated at Brcck three years ago, the program has grown in importance. In 1960, the main functions of the prefects were representation of the Headmaster in the Student Council and the maintenance of discipline in the school. Because the prefects are seniors, they arc expected to set an example for the rest of the school by being first class citizens. To these obligations has been added the duty of keeping order in the study halls. The prefects, need- less to say, must be well-liked by the students as well as the faculty. They should also be able to mix well and participate in almost every area of school life. The prefects themselves, as well as the school, derive many advantages from this system. The boys arc better prepared for the experiences which they may encounter at college. The qualities of leadership and self-reliance are more fully cultivated. 26

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

SENIOR CLASS The atttiude expressed by most of the members of the senior class is usually one of surprise and wonder that the group has “gotten through with so few problems. This year, the graduating class as a whole has had a good high school record. All of the seniors arc proud of Brcck School and what it has done for them. Still, our class has tried to follow the paraphrase of President Kennedy’s motto, “Ask not what Breck School can do for you, but ask what you can do for Breck School. They have done their best to live up to the high standards, both academic and athletic, that have been set for them by the faculty and administration. The boys have achieved a fine record both in their courses and in national standardized tests. This year’s graduating class has also actively participated in the school’s sports program. They have striven to develop their natural talents in each contest of every season. The senior class has been well prepared here at Brcck for the future. They will attend colleges and universities across the nation, but they will always look back upon their years at Breck with pleasure and with gratitude. 27
