The modern version of the old Mustangs! Lunch hasn't changed that much. Classroom control isn’t what it used to be.

(continued from pj(e 5) school for boys only. The best thing to happen to Breck at this time was the new Headmaster, Chester DesRochers. His energy and enthusiasm made great progress in all of school life. Many more courses were added, improving the curriculum. Dances were always the high point of the social life despite the fact that room mothers had to search the area for eligible dates. At the time of the second World War, Breck turned military as was the trend of the forties. The mid-winter formal was a truly spectacular event. Invitations to the President were sent though no President ever came. The military system reduced the need for discipline. It was then that the academic standards which we know today started at Breck. Heavy emphasis was placed on science, math and English as these were thought to be the most important subjects. Unlike today, horsemanship was one of the favorite activities of the cadets who not only exercised them but also did all the other chores associated with the care of horses. Due to the large number of problems in the late forties and early fifties the decision to build a new facility on the present site was voted through. With the new headmaster. Canon Henderson, and his futuristic insight, Breck enjoyed and has continued to enjoy a highly respected position of academic excellence. Under Canon Henderson's guidance, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit plus other additions were built. Up to his resignation in 1973, Breck continued to grow academically, with excellent faculty, winning sports teams and many interesting and productive organizations. During his administration in 1959 Breck stopped their military practices and in 1966 Breck became a coed high school. The revolutionary sixties did not pass Breck without incident as is evident in the example of the class of 1965, at that time senior privledges did not exist, but the seniors went out to lunch anyway, and were suspended for a short time. Upon Canon Henderson's retirement in 1973, John Littleford took up direction of Breck. Under his guidance, Breck has continued to make large advances in excellent college preparatory education.
