END OF AN ERA Over a decade ago, “the old Breck’’ referred to the St. Paul campus; shortly after the move to Minneapolis, it referred to the military school; and after this year it will refer to the all-male preparatory school. The graduation of the Class of 1971 marks the end of an era at Breck. The Class of ’71 was also the last class to participate in the military program, and although few of the seniors were then at Breck, this heritage goes with the ones who were. Their graduation is, to some, a sentimental one, especially to those who hold Breck’s past particularly dear. On the other hand, it marks a significant step in progressive modern education. They, as well as all senior classes, will be missed greatly by the school, but with them they are taking an integral part of Breck history: it is this tradition that makes them special. Their time at Breck has undoubtedly been one of Breck’s most varied and changing periods to date. The school has changed from military to non-military, built a chapel and two annexes, brought girls into the Upper School, and continued to engage in a progressive and competitive program at all levels. The school says goodbye to both them and the tradition which they bear, and wishes them the best in the years ahead, as Breck also continues to change and grow. 4
