St. Bernard's School, founded in 1904 by John Card Jenkins,〔(www.stbernards.org ) - the school's website〕 is a private all-male elementary school on Manhattan's Upper East Side. ==School== The school shield depicts an eagle (representing the United States of America), a lion (representing Great Britain), a book (symbol of education), and a cross (representing a tradition of Christianity). Although the school's name is spelled (though not pronounced) the same as that of the breed of dog, which is also its mascot, it was in fact named for the rue St-Bernard in Brussels, Belgium, where a relative of one of St. Bernard's founders had also founded a school. The school's yearbook is named ''the Keg'', and is edited each year by Grade 9. Many team sports are played at the school, including soccer, swimming, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and track. Fencing has recently been re-introduced after a long hiatus. Furthermore, sports such as bombardment (a form of dodgeball) and capture the flag are played in gym class. The ice hockey program is run by Saint Bernard's parents and begins in kindergarten. The current headmaster of the school is Stuart H. Johnson III (born August 14, 1954). A graduate of Yale University, he previously taught at St. Bernard's, and at Groton School, before becoming headmaster in 1985. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Bernard's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
