ASSISTANT HEADMASTER In a period of change at all levels of the Breck community, there is a need for someone to effect the new developments, pick up the problems, and discuss them and their solution with Canon Henderson and other administrative members. Such a man is Mr. Robert Aarthun, who is largely responsible for maintaining order and smoothness in the functioning of the school; in addition, he successfully fills in when needed in solving disciplinary and academic problems. Mr. Aarthun serves as a counselor, encourager, and sincere friend to all members of the Breck community. His apt guidance helps keep students out of trouble with the school, teachers, and parents, and his broad smile livens many a tired or frustrated face. Such an enthusiastic supporter of Breck is an invaluable member of Breck's administrative body. 13

HEADMASTER Breck at eighty-five has reached the age at which institutions either complete a slow death and are soon forgotten or else display with a new drive those qualities which make them superior, and therefore lasting. It is largely due to the untiring efforts of Canon Henderson that the latter has happened in Breck's case. Although former classes and administrators have ushered in new eras and proclaimed new Brccks, the significance of the current period of change is that all phases of Breck life have been affected at the same time. Instead of the single lessening of an old restriction. Canon has established positive progress in all areas, enabling Breck to meet the needs of the present and the challenge of the future, for now a school's future lies in its capability to provide a superior and innovative education, and to demonstrate the need for one to the community. The coeducational transformation has been completed under Canon's direction in the most natural and sensible way possible. To the community. Canon's successful leadership and progress mark a significant development that may well insure another eighty-five years of truly superior education, in a more productive, more positive atmosphere which has united the various communities of Breck. 12
