ASSISTANT HEADMASTER This year a new face has appeared in the Assistant Headmaster's office and has become a common sight to faculty and students alike throughout the school. Robert W. Herbert, who comes to the school with a wealth of experience in independent education. is a 1951 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Trinity College, where he earned his B.A. with Honors in History; and of Columbia University, where he received his M.A. in History in 1951. Mr. Herbert graduated from The Loomis School in Windsor, Connecticut, and served in World War II as a section leader in the American Field Service. After leaving Columbia he taught History at The Hill School in Pennsylvania from 1951 to 1961, during which time he studied at the American School for Classical Studies in Athens in the summer of 1957 and spent the following year on an exchange mastership at Clifton College in Bristol, England. In 1961 Mr. Herbert went to Phoenix Country Day School as Assistant Headmaster and served as Headmaster from 1962 to 1966. We wish Mr. Herbert the best fortune in his new position and hope that he will be with the school for many years to come. 12

They gave their normal large amounts of time to such various activities as the Mothers’ Club Carnival, serving refreshments at the Homecoming dance, the Midwinter Dance, and the Prom, and their annual Style Show. With the money raised by such projects as the Carnival and Style Show the Club gave a great number of gifts to the school. These included a new projector and screen, a sound system for the Chapel, new’ equipment for the Fine Arts Department, material for both the Upper and Lower School Libraries, and donations to the Mustang, Bugle, and the Endowment Fund. These donations, plus the cost of the gifts, came to a total expenditure of S2,375.00. The Mustang joins the students and faculty in expressing its gratitude for these and many other services rendered by the Breck Mothers’ Club. n Ladies at work.

ASSISTANT TO THE HEADMASTER Mrs. Dorothy Rader, a person with whom all concerned with the school are acquainted, has this year officially become the Assistant to the Headmaster. Mrs. Rader came to Breck in 1955 as Canon Henderson’s secretary and has continued in that post up to this year. In her new capacity she is working with the Headmaster in such areas as college admissions and counselling; representation at national conferences; liaison between the Headmaster's office and the Mother's Club and Women's Association; and in general relations with the school community. In her own words, the work involved “isn’t really so differcnt-thcre's just more of it. Mrs. Rader has two sons, Luke and Steve, both of whom graduated from Breck; and her experience with the school not only has been far-reaching, but has earned her the respect of all. She assures us that she is immortal, so it looks as if she will continue to be with Breck for years to come. We hope so, and we wish her the best in her new position. 13
