Their presence and personal support has contributed greatly to many school functions. They have also assisted many of the school’s projects. This year, their President was Mrs. Cole Oehler. Under her leadership, the Mothers' Club sponsored and participated in many fundraising endeavors. The Annual Luncheon and Style Show was a highly successful gala affair. They also held the Upper and Lower School Bake Sales. Some of the mothers participated in Dayton’s Jubilee Sale, and served refreshments at several Upper School dances. They pledged to the Capital Fund Campaign, and gave generous donations to the Mustang and to the Endowment Fund. The Mustang joins the students and the faculty in expressing gratitude for these and many other services performed by the Breck Mothers’ Club. 13

RECTOR AND HEADMASTER When the subject of Breck School comes to mind, we cannot help but think affectionately of its Headmaster, Canon F. Douglas Henderson. For years, the Big Gun7' has fought for Breck and has indeed made the institution what it is today. His dream of Commitment to Betterment is gradually becoming tangible reality. Students seldom realize what kind of man Canon Henderson is until they become se- niors. When the pressures of college applications, new freedoms, and new responsibilities come down heavily on the twelfth graders, they find a true friend and guide in Canon. To describe Canon Henderson to someone who doesn't know him is next to impossible. But we students who have had the pleasure to attend the school he heads, will agree that it is indeed an experience to know him. 14
