ASSISTANT HEADMASTER Mr. Robert J. Aarthun, a long-time friend of Breck School, is now in his second year as Assistant Headmaster, and serves in that capacity with the same excellence with which he did so many years as Athletic Director. Since he came to Breck in 1957, Mr. Aarthun has also coached three Varsity sports. A graduate of Macalester College in St. Paul, Mr. Aarthun majored in social sciences and minored in physical education; in addition, he has taken post-graduate studies at the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan. In his new post of Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Aarthun has further taken a deep interest in each of the students and their academic education. Always an available and enthusiastic advisor, Mr. Aarthun has become one of the students’ greatest friends. We hope Mr. Aarthun will continue to be an important part of Breck School for many years. 10

 1 RECTOR AND HEADMASTER Throughout the eighteen years that Canon F. Douglas Henderson has been Headmaster of Breck, he has been dedicated to keeping pace with modern education, and attempting to provide each of the students with the best education the school can offer. Under Canon’s able leadership, the sixties saw Breck “committed to betterment,” not only maintaining its academic level of excellence, but also increasing its facilities through the construction of two annexes and a chapel. As the Breck community begins to grow and become co-ed, a greater stress is placed on individualized study; Canon has reinforced the importance of the individual's relating to his community with Breck’s new motto: “Individuality Depends Upon Community.” Few underclassmen get to know Canon Henderson as well as the seniors, who, through his Sacred Studies class as well as personal talks, find understanding and guidance in college application and other problems facing the youth of today. We hope that Canon’s leadership and friendship may remain a significant part of Breck for many years to come. 9

BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees, under the leadership of its Chairman, Bishop Kellogg, is responsible for the governing of Breck School. Without this sincere dedication to Breck’s betterment, the progressive and competitive nature of Breck School could not be maintained. The Board is divided into three committees; The Curriculum and Program Committee works with the faculty to establish Breck’s curriculum; The Finance and Capitol Funds Committee works with Breck’s financial matters and can be credited with numerous successful fund drives which have made possible Breck’s recent growth, a major interest of the Building and Property Committee. Breck is proud of this fine and dedicated Board, which greatly influences Breck’s future by ever striving to accomplish new goals. it
