MR. VERNON SKARI Vpptt St hoot Social Sladiti B A. Concordia College. 1933; M.A. Macalestcr College, 1964 Sure, Mr. Skan HISTORY The chief aim of the Breck History Department is to teach the students to think critically regarding the history of their country and of the world. The courses are set up in such a way as to enable the boys to evaluate different view points and to select ideas which they believe are true. Breck students get an early start in becoming students of history. Geography and American History are taught in the seventh and eighth grades, rrsjjcctivcly. World History begins in the ninth grade with Ancient History, followed in the sophomore year by the History of Modern Europe. In either tlteir Junior or .Senior year a more comprehensive American Civilization course is required of all boys. An elective for Juniors is also offered, this year dealing with Asian History and Culture. Open to Seniors is a class in United State Government and Political Science. In this course the student achieves an understanding of the work and appreciation for the nature of his government. Hr leams his responsibilities to his country and develops a loyalty to its government. 26 MR C J HEASER Upper School Social Sludiei BS. M.A. U of Minn., 1938

MR. ROBERT J. AARTHL'N Director of Upper School Athletici B.S. Macalr»trr College. 1931 SPORTSMANSHIP Sportsmanship is a very necessary ingredient in any athletic program. Although Breck, because of its small enrollment, is often forced to take second place in athletic contests, it tries to develop a positive attitude rather than merely to require participation. Under the leadership of the Athletic Director Robert Aarthun, this winning attitude has been develoj ed in the students of Breck. This spirit has shown itself in the increased number of turnouts for our varsity sports of late. All people connected with Breck feel spirit is on the rise and with it a winning way. 27 MR.
