The Curriculum and Program Committee works closely with the faculty in planning the curriculum for each year. The Finance and Capitol Funds Committee and the Building and Property Committee are also very important in the progress of Breck School. Under the leadership of Bishop Kellogg, Chairman, the Board decides the financial programs and establishes policies for the school so that Breck will continue to improve and expand. The Board is dedicated to the “Commitment to Betterment” which is the byword at Breck. The new wing is concrete evidence of the success of the Board in its endeavors. Breck’s future is profoundly influenced by the continuing efforts of the Board of Trustees. Their determination and hard work is gratefully appreciated by the student body and the faculty. 12

ASSISTANT HEADMASTER Although he is new to the post of Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Robert J. Aarthun is no stranger to Breck School. Since coming to Breck in 1957, Mr. Aarthun has coached varsity football, varsity wrestling, varsity basketball, and J.V. baseball. He has also been the Athletic Director. Mr. Aarthun attended St. Paul Monroe High School and Macalester College. He majored in Social Sciences there, and his minor was Physical Education. He has also done postgraduate work at the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan. Always a friend of the student body, Mr. Aarthun in his new job has become an advisor for any student with a problem. Always available and enthusiastic, the new Assistant Headmaster is a great support for the school. We hope Mr. Aarthun will continue to assist Breck for many years. 11

The women conducted the Book Sale, and they were of invaluable help during the many conferences for which Breck was host. The Mothers’ Club also provided refreshments for school dances. The women have been actively involved in many facets of life at Breck. The Mothers’ Club has five standing committees. The Ways and Means Committee is in charge of all money-raising events for the Mothers’ Club. The Social Committee organizes all the Upper School social events, such as dances. There are also the Room Mothers Committee, the Hospitality Committee, and Publicity Committee. Through these groups the Mothers’ Club enters many different areas, making it an important part of Breck School. 13
