RECTOR AND HEADMASTER Since he came to Breck in 1953, Canon F. Douglas Henderson has been the driving force behind the school. As Headmaster, he has led Breck to new heights. Canon Henderson’s enthusiasm and vigor are easily seen in the forms of the Chapel and the new building complex. Through his leadership he has made Breck what it is today. Few underclassmen get to know Canon Henderson very well, but the Seniors find that he is one of their greatest friends. When the pres- sures and problems of college applications arise, the twelfth graders can always turn to Canon Henderson for advice and support. In his Sacred Studies Classes, Canon’s knowledge and understanding of the problems that face the youth of today have been a great help to his students. We hope that the student body here at Breck will continue to receive Canon Henderson's guidance and friendship for many years to come. 10
