When 1980 rollod around, much of the major construction had boon completed. Yot there are still many projects to be started. Last year construction was started on the additions to the second floor and extensive renovation of tho basomont begun. The new additions on the north and east sides of tho building added seven additional classrooms to tho school. Tho improvement provided a connection between tho Middle School and tho English Wing and the Middle School and the Science Wing. Tho new space Included three Upper School classrooms and an Upper School Student Lounge. The purpose of adding the wings was not to increase enrollment but to provido moro space for the two divisions. Tho renovation of Ihe basement provided tho Fine Arts Department with much more room to oxpand. The new instrumental choral area accommadates up to 120 students and includes several practice rooms, an ensemble room, an office and a music storage room. Tho now drama facility was glvon a theatre classroom that seats up to 150 pooplo, storage areas, make-up room and an office. With the improvement of Ihe Fine Arts facilities, tho Athletic facilities were renovated too. Tho Boy’s locker room received new lockers, and benches botween lockor rows. Tho cago and athletic store wore moved into the old drama room and skills lab. The money for tho basement construction was given by the Cargill Corporation. The major changes in the Lower School section were the expansion of the Lower School Library into Ihe former Pre-School Room. Tho Pre-School division was moved lo tho formor Middle School art room because of the expansion of another section of Pre-Schoolers. A new computer program was introduced into the Lower School which will help students in mathematics. But this is only the first phase of on entire construction program of which tho estimated cost Is nearly 2.5 million dollars. Other projects planned for Ihe near future are improvements on the track, soccer, and football fiolds. Adjustments will be made throughout the school for the accommodation of handicapped persons, and major improvomonts are plannod for the kitchen and dining room area. The presont parking lot will be re-done and will be oxpandod to the north part of the front lawn. There will be mojor improvements and a four stall garago will bo nddod. This year Brock has gono through many changes, but there are oven more on the horizon. The school building has a totally knew look. There has boon great change this year at Breck. That is why tho Mustang Staff has choson this year's thome to be 1980: A Year of Change”. All of those improvements cost a great deal of money, and one man who is largely responsible for the raising of tho monoy is Mr. Lee Anderson. Mr. Anderson graduated from Breck in 1957 and has boon very supportive of Breck School. He is Chairman of tho Breck Buildings and Grounds Committoe, and also Chairman of Ihe Capital Campaign. He has taken a groat deal of time off from his job as Presidonl of A.P.I. Incorporated this past year to bond those committees. For this wo are indobtod to him, and everyone at Breck would like to thank him. by Anne McComb (Assistant Editor) ) DEDICATION John Littleford ha boon headmaster of Brock School for six years. In those years, he has demonstrated two things: 1) he believes in planning big, rather than boing bogged down with details; and 2) he believes in concentrating on results, rather than being sidetracked with problems. He is in short, a man of vision who keeps his eyes squarely on the future. When John Litlteford came in July, 1974, Breck was an Episcopal Day School with 670 students, a stalled building program, and a scanty endowment. Today, Breck has over 710 students, recently completed new construction, and is rapidly building its ondowmont funds. These are not smsll achievements, and Mr. Littleford deserves credit for making thorn possible. Mr. Littleford came to Breck with experience, gained during six yoars at Eastern preparatory schools, and with dreams. Thoso dreams included ideas to help Breck grow in stature and in size. To transfer these ideas into reality, he felt Brock should: 1) strengthen its internal academic excellence through expansion of Intensive Education and Asian studies, better evaluation, curriculum coordination, and teacher-student recruiting; and 2) expand its external program in foreign travel, student exchange, and international travel. Mr. Littleford was the moving force behind the forming of the Minnesota Independant School League, a consortium of twenty-five independent secondary schools in the state. Their purposo is to jointly seek support for independent education from foundations, business and industry. They have been in existance for only four years and have raised over one million dollars, the bulk of which has been distributed among the other schools. This program has built Brack's endowment funds so other things - better buildings, improved athletic and music facilities, and a more oxtensive alumni program - could be possible. As'is clear from Breck's current success. Mr. Littleford has pushed Brack to greater heights. These heights have not been scaled easily. Tho climb has come after hard work by Mr. Littleford • after much time spent outside of Brack, persuading parents that Brack has something special to offer. He has spoken at Rotary meetings on the virtues of independant schools, talked with business leaders about supporting Breck. and in general, serving as a spokesman to tho outside world about the promises and opportunities of a small day school. These activities are not always apparent to the students, but they are important nonetheless. They have helped make possible what Breck has accomplished on the inside-reorganixation of the school into Upper, Middle, and Lower Divisions; sponsoring Japanese Week, Black History Week, Bicentennial Week, the China Symposium, and the Scandinavian Celebration. Perhaps most importantly, expanding the endowment fund which has made possible the construction program, with two new wings, a band room, an athetic store, and a drama facility. While serving as the driving force behind these outside and inside activities, Mr. Littleford has not forgotten Breck students. He knows 710 of us by name. He has taught many classes to us. and has attended most of our school events. He has also enforced discipline at Breck. Discipline, wise men have observed, is a form of love. But, above all, he has made Breck a better school. For this reason, The Minting Stiff dedicates the 1980 yearbook to Mr. John C. Littleford. by Spencer Reece (Editor-in-Chief) 5 Mike Wilson Director of Lower School Kathryn Harper Assistant Headmaster John Littleford Headmaster left to right: Mike Dram-Director ot Transportation, Dorothy Rader-Director of Alumni Affairs, Fred Leighton-D recfor of Development, David Stevtard-Business Manager, Arline Fill more- , earn ing Consultant, Earl Hoviand-Director of Administrative Services, Phillis Holmes-Director of Admissions. left to right: Donna Gustafson-School Nurse, Jane Gra-ham- Director of Testing and Measurement, Betsy Chme-Uk-Head Librarian, Lorraine Weaken-Direct or of Guidance.

The atmosphere and activities planned helped the class come together as a whole for the first time. Not only were there moments of contemplation, but moments of ecstacy as wo triumphod once again in throwing Mr. Littleford in the lake. We even remembered to take his shoes off. Don't forget, this was only the beginning. The spirit pulled through beyond that weekend and has continued day to day. There has not been one chapel period in which a cheer from the seniors did not rise from the balcony, which leads on to another subject: privileges. During the last part of our junior year, the class decided that we wanted our privileges as soon as possible during our senior year. As a result we started working on cleaning the lunchroom, which met approval with the administration. On October 8, 1979, the class of '80 got it’s off-campus privileges, only to lose them the next week. (Major spammy.) For the week that we did have them though the halls echoed wilh Who has a car?? ' and Where should we go for lunch?” As a whole the seniors enjoyed their privileges. A favorite spot for the seniors was Mrs. Mesken's office. Between filling out test registrations and visiting college reps there was always timo to relax, eat doughnuts, and drink coffee and tea. Overall the class of 1980 had a fantastic year. It was one that many of the seniors will look back on with fond memories. Although we are looking forward to our years in college, it is still hard to leave Brack behind. Breck. we bid you woll, but also farewell. Good-bye Brack. by Julie Gates Class ol •80 j y 13 u Photo• by Bonnot Langlotz SENIOR WEEKEND The buses rolled into Camp Courage and an excited class of ‘80 scampered out. eager to begin the weekends' activities. Such was the scene on Senior Weokend. September eighth and ninth. Most seniors (elt the weekend was both (un and productive. The weekend allowed the senior class to discuss their expectations tor the yonr. This was accomplished through discussions led by John Sobraske, Bert Saini-Eidukat. Chris Brandle, Amy Wilderson, and Elliot Bruhl. Some goneral sentiments expressed by the seniors were those o(great Upper School unity and spirit achieved through senior leadership! On the reoreational side, the weekend was a total success. It started off with football, swimming, and frisbee; and ended with some surprising skits and a campfire. A fow hearty souls also indulged in late night and early morning swimsl Senior weekend meant many different things to different people. For some, it was the beginning of new friendships in a now school, for many, it meant the rekindling of old aquaintances in a familiar social setting. For many, songs by tho campfire were a highlight; others found tranquility in an communion service. However, in the end, it meant a new class spirit which is ours to look back on in the future years. by Elliot Bruhl Class of 1980 15 16 Christopher John Brand!

This year, tho atmosphere around the school was spirited thanks to a rowdy stu-dont body, especially the seniors. This great spirit generated better turn outs at sporting events and generally more interest in school actlvitios. Brock expanded its curriculum this year. The new classes offered were Chinese, Asian Studies, and “The Brock Singers.” The goal of the Chinese class wss to learn enough Chinese to communicate in China. The Asian Studies class concentrated on tho history of Chins and Japan. The Breck Singers class was composed of people who wanted to sing and perform. A lot of new teachers joined Brock’s staff this year. With Mr. Taaffe on sabbatical, Mr. Weller camo to Brock to teach the History classes Mr. Taaffe taught. Mrs. Michaelson joinod Brack's teaching staff to teach Chinese, as did Mr. Hol-labaugh to teach ninth grade science. Mrs. Miller, who taught one French class at Brock last yoor, took on a full time job this year. Mrs. King, new to Breck, taught one upper school class; ninth grade Algebra. At the beginning of the school year the Freshmen went on a threo-day-weekend to the Environmental Learning Center in Isabella Minnesota. At the conter they learned the basics of rock climbing among other activities. The ninth grade agreed that it was one of the beat trips they had ever had. by Nancy Cross 45 Bryan Baab Corl Blair Susan Bolander Robin Boman MacKenzie Brown Cynthia Da Geyndt Michael Donhowe Colin Driscoll Frederick Eisenbrey Gregory Ewing Heidi Fields Peter Brown Walter Cox Nancy Cross Chadwick Adams Elizabeth Anderson ■ 6 Molly Fitzmaurice Margaret Flanagan Christopher Fraley Jenifer Gillmer Phineas Haglln David Harper Channing Harrison Judy Hasselmann Judy Hawkinson William Hicks Amy Hilmanowski Heidi Hohmann 7 48 Maggie Ronningen and Julie Segal compere Chemiatry notea. 49 Scott Taaka Patar Taatar William Warnacka Carl Yackal ohn Adam knno-Marie Aldan Catherine Andaraon Ceratin Andaraon Sam Barratl Keith Bart Waslay Baadon Lydia Burria Judaon Champlain Yun Kaa Chung Amy Jo Claary David Cooper Scott Dougan Stephan Daly Beniamin Douglaa 50 Leah Dvorak Daniel Field John Gilbert Robert Glaarud 7 Sk f Peter Globa Victor Globe Mstthow Goldman Franci Grave David Grubb Bret Haal8nd Paul Ha)ovy Mark Hanaon Deirdre Harrison Jennifer Haskin Yvonne Hoiaer Daniel Heyatek Liaa Himmelstrup Scott Hollander Charles Horowitz Nancy Johnson Beth Kaplan Andrew Kaske 51 “School cure is a piaca of cakaV’ Pauls Lockman Paula Lohmann Thomas Marbla Anna McComb Edward Meeker Kim Murphy John Katter William Kneale Stacey Kohler John Kromminga Peter Kuretsky Elizabeth Larson Brandt Legler Kathryn Letson Theresa Leville Anna Linnell Kenneth Littleton Elizabeth Moller Christopher Susan Neal Nimmer Kelly O'Bryan 52 “Of coursa I always raad tha Naw York Timas.’’ Megan O’Connell Michael Protzner Robert David Quia Pendergaat Nancy Wilson Adam Wolkoft Richard Yonker Tracy Yue Patrick Zweber Madeline Williams S3 •Homowork givot mo indigooUonl Rosanne Abramowicz Jerry Beech Jeffrey Bernetl Leslie Bisson Marts Bowman Jane Brunner Joshua Collon Christopher Curry Paul Davenport Jon DoLango Stuart Diedrich Kelly Driscoll Oonnls Eaton Margaret Edblom Mark Elert Edward Ewing Michelle Fant Sarah Fiko Donald Fox Kriatino Fontaine Regan Fulton Fitzpatrick Gilkos Callie Glanton Fred Goldberg Rebekah Greenwald Donald Guilitoyle Gary Hacking Chriatian Hageatad Amy Hakim Meliaaa Hanaing Amy Hanaon Charlea Hauge Kimberly Hewitt 55 Barbara Howard Mark Howard Christine Johnson Sammy Khalafalla Julia Langlotz Michael Leville Douglas MacLaughlln Jessica Maurer Karen McCloskey Alexandra McCullough Allen Murphy Robert Nelson Brian Nordlie Krista Olson Shelly Omdahl Bradford Pfaff Stephen Poley Jeffrey Rainey 56 Anthony Rimarcik Robert Romero Calvin Salone Scott Sherman Caroline Sisola Karla Stormo Arie Struyk John Swallen Rebecca Taylor Stephen Teska Jan Tyaon James Umen Rebecca Watkins David Williams Christopher Wurtele Stephen Yoch Karen Zimmerman Michael Zimmerman 57 “Gee, we have a lot ot homework tonight' Succeaal Amy make the return Kim bende over beckwerde for tennle Beck Row: Coach Stenglain, K.

With the graduation of 9 out of 11 player from last year’ team, and the loss of the first three games thi year, prospects looked grim for the 1979-80 Boy’s Basketball team. Youth and inexperience can be overcome by hustle and desire, and such was tho case with this toam. I could see the team beginning to gell with an overtime win at S.P.A. As the season wore on everyone took note of the Mustang pressure defense and torrid fastback. As the season came to an end, the improvement of the team was tremendous.

The Varsity consisted of seven players and four of them will be returning next year. Amy Wilderson, the only senior, and Nancy Johnson led the squad as captains. Next year's team should be quite strong with the help of a few JV members who will be moving up. Although the team doesn't hold a very impressive record, they have shown us a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and spirit.

With a freshly painted wall and a new atmosphere, the 1980 Mustang Staff started their year. The first week was exhilarating, then the pressure of deadlines set in like the first snow of the year. Donuts, Halloween candy, dedication, productivity, persperation (150%), and Ms. Fruen’s sense of humor helped the staff make deadlines, by the skin of our grease pencils. The staff worked hard this year, churning out copy, pictures, page designs, and excuses seemed endless. Still, when the end came, the staff felt a sense of relief and completion.

But the paper kept coming out and getting better thanka to the devotion of the Bugle ataff. LOGOS Tho Logon ia the Upper School literary magazine. It la atudent organized and aupported.

This year the Middle School Girl's Tennis teams tried hard and showed much improvement. The 5th and 6th grade team was lead by Mra. Owre and the 7th and 8th grade team was coached by Miss Carman and Ms. Casey. One seventh grader, Kim Burnet, made the Upper School varsity tennis team. The Middle School Soccer program was one of the popular team sports this year. According to 7th and 8th grade coaches, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Chmelik, the team had a good season. They started off the season by winning their first game against Trinity Lone Oak, 4-2. Bob L'indgren, an 8th grader, Karen Caperton a 7th grader, Jean Sargent, an 8th grader, and Greg Yoch, a 7th grader, scored the goals. The 4th, 5th, and 6th grade soccer team was lead by Mr. Edmundson and Mr. Good-speed. Although this team did not compete with other schools there was plenty of interaction between the middle schoolers. Both teams became co-ed for the first time this year, and for the 7th and 8th gradera the turn-out was large enough for two teams to be formed. Other sports that ware planned by Mr. Bovee, the assistant director ol M.I.P. sports, were power skating, gymnastics, dance, cross-country skiing, swimming, track, and softball. Chapel ecolytea are those young people who have indicated an interest in serving at the weekly (Wednesday) Holy Communion services end at other times. Formerly in Brack's history only confirmed Episcopal young men could serve In this capacity. Now, we have a full compliment of boys and girls In all three levels of the school, who, on a scheduled basis assist at the altar. They are vested in cassocks snd cottas. We also four Upper School young men who act as a “color guard . They carry the processional cross, flags at important school functions such as Baccalaureata and Commencement. The Altar Guild is composed of students who have indicated a desire to assist in the preparation and after-duties for the Holy Communion services. Included among them are young people from all three levels of the school, but principally from the Middle School. The group la coordinated by Mrs. Betty Hsncock. Chapel committeea function in each of the three levels of the school. Their duties are to advise and assist the Chaplain In the chapel programs, plan certain services, and to help take care of certain duties in the chspel.

We published approximately one issue per month. Some were six pages which Is two pages longer than any issue had been before. We ran several contests which included limericks and hink pinks. We also went on a tour ol the Minneapolis Tribune. We had a fairly large staff that turned out many good articles. We tried to incorporate more than just Middle School news. Ms. Shardlow was a good leader. She got the paper rolling and kept us improving each issue. The five editors were Ellen Efron, Phil Woodland, Tim Woodland, Randy Larson, and Jennifer Taylor. Throughout the year we felt the rewards of seeing our work In print and having the newspaper enjoyed by the students. by Jennifer Taylor Back row: Charlie Rasmussen, 8usan Kohlbrand, Damon 8truyk, Kerry Lee, Jeff Leonard.

This past year at Brack was filled with a variety of special events, and among the countless number was something for everyone. These events brought everyone connected with the school closer, and always involved most of the students, faculty, and friends of the school. They also offered relief from the everyday stresses and strains felt by all. The twentieth annual British Tea, put on by the Mother's Club of Brack as a fund raiser, sparked off the year in early November. The event took place in the Anderson Gymnasium with trees and a variety of flags representing different countries decorating the room. Student choral and band groups provided entertainment for the affair. It was an exceptional beginning for the year. Orchestra Hall has become very much a part of Brack, with all of the new programs that connect the two. In order to acknowledge this brand new association, in the month of September, Henry Charles Smith led the Minnesota Orchestra in a special concert for Brack. They played to an audience which consisted of Brack students, faculty, and friends and relatives who were all invited to attend. The next program put on for Breckies at Orchestra Hall was put on by the students themselves. The Orchestra’s facilities were generously offered for Brack’s use as a place for us to hold our annual Christmas Program. On December 16,1979, students ranging from kindergarten to twelth grade presented themselves in one of the largest and most important programs in the history of Brack. The purpose of the program was to help raise money for the re-construction of the Brack Chapel of the Holy Spirit. Hundreds of invitations to the event were sent out to people all over the state asking for their support. It was a great boost and a spectacular success. On February 22, 1980, Brack’s A.F.S. Committee held a carnival to raise money to bring two foreign exchange students to Brack next year. The event involved much advanced planning and was organized and run mainly by the students with the help of the faculty. Booths were spread all about the upper and lower gyms, and ranged from games to food to craft displays. All who came had a great time, and the whole school is looking forward to having the two foreign exchange students with us next year. One of the last and best festivities of the year was the second annual Snow Daze, which was held on February 14th. The events included the election of Snow King and Queen for each grade. This year the election process was a little different, instead of picking just one king and queen, three were picked. Each three picked a rose and the one who chose the red rose was designated as king or queen. Other events that occured during the day were the faculty student basketball game, snow football on the front lawn, and Mr. Anderson’s “fun run’’, a six mile marathon. The day was concluded by a festive Valentine's Day dance which was held in the Anderson Gymnasium. It is these special events and many more that make the lives of Breckies invigorating and exciting. A apaclal concart for Brackiaa at Orchaatra Hall ‘Fairchild at tha Sadia Hawkina Danca The Homecoming activities started on Friday, September 21 at 1:25 with tho coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen. The Royal Court consisted of five candidates for King and candi-dates for Queen. The nominees for King were Mike Deitzman, Lee Johnson, Paul Williams, Rick Keyes, and Elliot Bruhl. And the nominees for Queen were Vicki Venters, Jodi Pfaff, Meredith Joseph, Missy Barrett, and Laurie Wilson. Then there was a pep-fest in the lower gym with the Brack Band playing and the cheerleaders cheering to get the students and faculty in the right spirit for the footbal and soccer games. After the pep-fest, the whole school poured out of the building and on to the sidelines of the soccer field to watch Brack’s soccer team defeat Shattuck's soccer team 1 0 in double overtime. And while the soccer team lead us to Victory on the soccer field, the Brack football team began to massacre Shat-tuck’s football team with a final score of 22-6. Two fantastic victories!! However, the Homecoming dance was not that night, but was scheduled for a week from that night because the Jewish Holiday, Rosh Hashana, would have kept many students from attending. So the dance was given on September 28 and that week was labeled “Spirit Week.” This special arrangement made Homecoming twice as long and twice as fun. And though the schedule of events was somewhat different, Brack’s enthusiasm for this Homecoming was as great, if not greater than, the enthusiasm for previous Homecomings. All of these things and many more made the 1979 Homecoming an event we will all remember for many years to come. by Tracy Yue What do you mean I'm ‘only human’?

A Art Hodea Jazz Four in Uppar School Chapel CHAPEL Chaplain Richard Smith This year, 1980, marks the fifteenth year of the dedication of the Holy Spirit. It was given essentially by one family in the overriding belief that the acknowledgement of God in the school’s heritage and life should be expressed by a beautiful house of worship. II is, unquestionably, the most aesthetically beautiful architectural part of Brock's campus. The design mandate was that it be “natural , and such it is. The wood and stone are rough and unpolished and have much structural beauty. (Could the architect, Cot-lis Morgan Hardenbergh, have been thinking of the resemblance to a Breck student before he she goes to college?) The large windows wero loft clear so that the changes in weather and season would have their contribution to the total ambience. The large sloping roof and tower with its hand-hewn cedar shingles are not unlike a giant hand with an index finger pointed to the sky in acknowledgement of the Almighty. Even the name of the building, “The Chapel of the Holy Spirit is suggestive of tho unique place it holds in the life of the school. In a time when this Is one of the tew private schools in the country which fully uses a chapel, we hold dear tho contrality of its meaning in the Breck community. Outside the building is the quiet garden for contemplation (built in the Zen design); trees givon as memorials to former “Breckios”, and its commanding facade facing the Mississippi River. The Breck Chapel is used as a place for weddings, baptisms, funerals, eucharists, and even entertainment. But for the Breck student it is the locus of his her coming together with all the others in the school on a continuing basis. by Richard Smith beforo the fire 135 Martin Marty apaaks on “Laid Back ■f i CHAPEL Late on a Friday night in November, a (lash tire roared through the Chape of tho Holy Spirit, burning It beyond repair. The blaze transformed the tall spire and glass and stone facade into a heap of charred rubble. News of the fire and sight of the rubble had a catastrophic Im-pact on those who knew Breck. After all, the Chapel was Brack’s most esthetic building. It served as the soul and heart of the school. Without it, Breck might as well be a pickle factory, a sour educational processing plant without life and spirit. But this spirit will not die. In March 1980, the school selected John Cuningham, of Cuningham Architects, to design a new chapel. In a remarkably short time of three months, Breck raised funds for the new structure. Construction will begin in the summer of 1980. The new Chapol of tho Holy Spirit will help the school again achieve that blend of religion, music, and scholarship that makes Breck what it is. Breck is dedicated to building an architecturally striking, multipurpose building. The new Chapel will serve as a beacon and aymbol of a remarkable and resilent school, by Spencer Reece WORLD EVENTS THG MOTION PICTL ADVERTISING CONGRA TULA m i TO THE YEARBOOK STAFF AND HO Best Wishes Class Of ’80 EDINA REALTY Paul M.
