fCn ' 4?? ■ V. i :A c. ry J TRACER 71 Published by the Tracer staff 3randywine Heights Area High School Topton. Pennsylvania Vol. XV Table Of Contents A yearbook dedication is many things. To one who receives this recognition, it is happiness and reward. To the givers, it is respect and gratitude. A yearbook dedication is admiration. It is also love. But above all, a yearbook dedication is real. It must be real. It is easy to print a few meaningless paragraphs about an individual. In as much as this year ' s dedication is most sincere, it is difficult to adequately ex- press our true feelings. The recipient of the 1971 Tracer dedication has influenced every member of our class. She was always there, taking time out to help and advise. This person has done so much for us that a mere dedication seems insufficient. And so, to you who has given so much for so little, who has taken time to understand our generation while we did not try to understand yours, for your time and efforts, and tor me impact you have had on us . . . We the class of 1971, dedicate this yearbook to you, Mrs. Sondra Yarrison, with love, respect, and admiration in the hope that it will help repay the debt we owe to you. . . .

The senior advisors are not always given the recognition they deserve. The student rarely sees the importance of his advisors and does not always seek their advice. The senior class at Brandywine has the type of advisors who be- come more than just members of the faculty assigned to watch over a class meeting. They become people, helpful people, who show that they want to help. They go to the students as a class and individually with sound advice. They have come through life and, looking back through time, tell us of their mistakes in the hope that we will benefit from their experience. For this, we thank them. The officers of the class of 1971, headed by Richard Readinger as president, have done a good job. Dinger showed his excellent leader- ship qualities and maturity by keeping the class together as a unit.

The Boys Functioned As A Team, Seniors: Terry Witwer, Randy Grossman, Dunnie Showalter. ' Miii.-tt!mimi mtm One of the best and most popular sports at Brandwyine is soccer. The season, although ex- citing, was not as good as expected due to inju- ries. The outstanding players were Terry Witwer, Greg Nolan, Randy Berlew, Bruce Weber, and Richard Readinger. The boys were always to- gether, working with one another. It was a time of confidence built by their dependence on each other. There will be fond memories because of their closeness. Seniors: Bruce Weber. Greg Nolan. Seniors: Tom Rhode, Randy Berlew, Sheldon Boyer. iV nVWH- 1 V I J ' x- Seniors: Steve Keiser, Howard Lehr, Rich Readinger. The team takes a break at half-time.

The hockey team is also not recognized for what it is. Anyone who feels girls sports are wishy-washy should go see our hockey team in action. The girls are fierce competitors. Although the season was even, 3-3-2, there were many good indi- vidual players such as Renee Montagner, Daria Reeder, Diane Reed, and Kathy Fegely. Kathy Fegely made the District III All Star team.

This sport should receive the recogni- tion it deserves as it is one of the most de- manding sports. Each man is on his own during the meet. There are no other players to call on for help. He must do his best and do it alone. Our outstanding runners were Donnie Keim and Pete Patterson. Patterson qualified for state final competition. 44 Senior: Donnie Kelm. Seniors: Randy Detra, Craig Hertzog. Faculty relaxes during their free period. They Were The Greatest Influence Miss James works with card catalogue. Our faculty is a complex group. They are our friends, our enemies, our elders and our equals, our informers and our listen- ers. They exercise a greater influence on us than any other aspect of the school atmosphere. Our faculty is friendly enough to build a relationship between us and them, but stern enough to command our respect. They take the time to put them- selves on the student ' s level. They usually take time to hear as well as to speak. Above all, the faculty usually is able to re- late to us. Because our Brandywine faculty is of this nature, we thank them. The science department always pro- vides an atmosphere of surprise — mainly because in chemistry and phys- ics we never knew what was going on. However, with the help of our instruc- tors, we grasped enough to prepare us for college and other fields. Some of us will recall biology, and others chemistry, but whatever the memories are, they will be lasting. The English department is one of the best departments at Brandywine. Be- cause of the good faculty in this area, we all realize the importance of English education. We have learned to appreci- ate Shakespeare and Sandburg and the other poets. We learned to discriminate between a good work and trash. What we learned here will be carried with us through the rest of our lives. On Our Lives Science Dept.: Mr. Robert Eidle, Mr. Galen Wood, Mr. Carl Moll. English Dept.: Mr. Mark Gershman. Mrs. Sondra Yarrison, Mrs. Mary Ann Allmendlnger. Mr. Stephan Ditsky. L UjJLSmiJi History Dept.: Mr. Alan Sawyer, Mr. Larry Youse, Mr. Francis Bolez. Mathematics Dept.: Mrs. Blanche Rambo, Mrs. Fay Bordner. They Encouraged Class Participation. The history department, another well staffed part of our curriculum, is bro- ken into many categories such as social studies, sociology, world cultures and economics. We were taught to under- stand people and greatest of all, we were taught patriotism. The knowledge we gathered here is invaluable. In the mathematics department our instructors were able to present math in a way in which the instruction was in- teresting and therefore was received better by the students. Various courses offered were general math, geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. The fine arts such as chorus, art, and band play an important role in school. In addition to the fact that they provide entertainment, they also encourage student participation. The art classes create many interesting displays and the band and chorus provide for con- certs and participation in parades. The business department prepares the student for life in the business world. It is also one of the fastest grow- ing departments in the school. It pro- vides for a practical education in typing, shorthand, and office practice. It also gives a basic knowledge of business mathematics. Fine Arts Dept.: Mr. Philip Forlano, Mrs. Gene Welsbecker, Miss Eleanor Bieber. Business Dept.: Mrs. Carol Mertz, Mr. Walter Appold, Mr. David Herring. Driver Education: Mr. Ray Angstadt. Physical Education: Mr. Charles German, Mrs. Constance Kinderman. Various Courses Were Instructed. Foreign Language Dept.: Mrs. Sondra Yarrlson, Mr. Richard Musselman. The driver education instruction is definitely one of our best instructed classes. In it we learned the basic and finer points of driving to become a well prepared beginning driver. We gained invaluable experience from the hours behind the wheel as well as in the class- room. Physical education is a very impor- tant class period. One can learn many things from his instructor. Besides the fact that we are kept in shape, we learn the importance of cleanliness and good grooming. Gym is also a refreshing break in the day. We participate in such a variety of sports that it is always in- teresting. A foreign language is something to treasure years from now. These courses are made interesting by numerous field trips. A four year course is offered in German while a two year course is offered in Spanish. Both classes are instructed very well. The guidance department is a well staffed department. Many problems were faced honestly and on an equal level. Guidance is offered both to voca- tional and college bound students. This department is seldom recognized for what it has done, so here we would like to say thank you. The library is the one place you can go and lose yourself. It has a broad se- lection of books, tapes, newspapers, and magazines. Students can spend many hours of pleasurable reading as well as being able to do research con- veniently. Our library is greatly appre- ciated. Guidance Dept.: Mr. Robert Nash, Mrs. Carol Mertz. Librarian: Miss Wendy James. Home economics is important be- cause it prepares girls for life in the home. Since almost all of them will marry someday, it is good to know that the girls from Brandywine are well pre- pared. They receive instruction in cook- ing, house care, sewing, and money management, everything that is impor- tant in making a good housewife. Industrial arts and vocational agricul- ture are also important parts of the cur- riculum. These courses prepare the stu- dents for careers in such areas as agri- cultural work, carpentry, welding, and metal work. Because of Brandywine ' s interesting and challenging program in this area, we are able to send out well prepared students in these fields. Home Economics Dept.: Mrs. Kay Frantz. Miss Janice Mountz.

TO THE CLASS OF 1971: - In terms of human experience our Bookends are birth and death — the outer limits of a lifetime of existence, growth, and experience. During a life- time we accumulate a vast number of experiences to fill volumes. In presenting the theme Bookends, this issue of the Tracer has captured a period of time in your lives whicli ' was memorable and cherished. The printed words and photographic images of these experiences were edited during a period in which you enjoyed great ad- vances in medicine, discovery, and tech- nology. These contributions were made by an older generation. However, more volumes must be writ- ten by you, the younger generation, prior to the second limit of your Book- ends. Since our world is torn and marred by war, racial strife, intolerance, and insecurity, it must be your duty to produce a society of peace and love for the next generation. May God bless you and accompany you in this task. Alfred H. Ayres We Have Written Our Volumes. Administration: Mr Superintendent. Alfred Ayres.

Their Services Were Greatly The secretarial staff is also a fine one. They take care of their many office duties as well as finding lost students in order to put them where they belong. They are very helpful in all respects. Mrs. Ruth Delong is our school nurse. She is always helpful in caring for mi- nor illnesses such as headaches and tests. It is good to have a well qualified person filling this position. Nurse: Mrs. Ruth Delong. Cafeteria Staff: Mrs. Margo Radcliffe, Mrs. Edith Hess, Carrie High. Mrs. Edna Behringer. Mrs. Lena DeLong. Appreciated. Janitors: Mr. Cieon Behringer. Mr. John Kemp. The cafeteria staff provides us with good lunches everyday. Despite the complaints, the food is usually good, and one can always have as much as he wants. A good lunch is important after you ' ve put in a morning of classes. The custodial staff is an asset. Be- cause of them, our school is kept clean and neat. In addition to their inside du- ties, they also care for the outside grounds. The school ' s good condition is maintained at all times. The Marching Band Prepares For Its Next Parade. Brandywine Heights Marching Band Color Guard: K. Gottshall, B. Smith, G. Fegely. C. Kline, D. Meek, L. Snyder, D. Fenstermacher, T. Weldele, D. Shade, T. Lantz. Drum Major: R. DeJarnett. The band has improved vastly in the last X NO years under the direction of Mr. Phillip Forlano. It is now a pleasure to hear the band play, and many times students sit in on practice sessions during school. The concert band is very good, providing its audience v ith a wide selection of songs to fit every taste. Also, they play updated songs that are appealing to the students. The marching band has greatly improved in all respects. Always looking sharp, the musicians march in straight, crisp lines and in perfect step. The music is always clear and precise. They have done Brandywine proud in the various parades in the area. Majorettes: (row 1) D. Keiser, J. Miller, D. Mazurle, K. Oswald, C. Strachan. P. Croll; (row 2) C. Oswald, S. Luckenbill, S.

Creativity Is Emphasized Here. The stage band, or dance band, was very impressive. It played contemporary tunes very well. It played magnificently at assemblies and was always well re- ceived by the students. The folksinging group, made up of all juniors, was making a name for itself. During the summer, they played at many social functions in the area. Their songs were about life and were many times very meaningful. Folksinging Group: J. Lantzy, L. Derr, B. Hein, C. Strachan. R.

The pep band served as a source of spirit and student participation. It was always present at home basketball games and pep rallies, playing school fight songs which sparked the crowd and helped the team to call on the sec- ond effort to pull out a victory. The pep club also is important in maintaining school spirit, something which was not always evident at Bran- dywine. They helped to spark the crowd at sports events and did even more dur- ing school hours, such as making pro- motion signs for the teams. Pep Band heightens enthusiasm at the games Juniors Awaited Their Final Year. With two years under your belt, you ' re a seasoned veteran. You ' re full of confidence, ready to take on all com- ers. You ' ve learned to adapt to the new subjects and teachers and you feel pretty good about yourself. Everything is going fine and then it hits you; SAT ' s are around the corner for some, job worries for others and in a few months, all of you are going to be seniors. Con- fusion sets in and you develop ulcers. But somehow you get through it all and you ' ve only got one year to go. Gene Isamoyer, Ronald Gehman.

The Hours Of Studying Increased, The first year is over and you find yourself a sophomore. Now you can look down on those ninth graders. Ev- erything is going so fast. You ' ve got more new subjects, a heavier and harder schedule and the teachers, wow, the words they use. You begin to become closer as a class and you find yourself discovering a confidence you didn ' t know you had. You start looking for a purpose; you are growing. It is a good year.

There is the excitement of feeling big and the depression caused by subjects you ' ve never heard of. The word algebra sounds ferocious. But then, things set- tle down and the glamour goes away.

Confidence In Themselves Was A Necessity. The basketball team, hurt by a couple of injuries, still managed to come out with a satisfying season. With six seniors, the team was experienced and strong. Basketball is Brandywine ' s big sport and it is the cause of much emotion and anxiety on Tuesdays and Fridays, The excitement of a close game is rarely matched. The Crowd works itself up to a fevered pitch, letting the team know that they back them all the way. There is a mutual feeling of confidence. It is up to the team to be smooth and cool and to pull it out for the school and Mr. Youse, Win or lose, they always have their school ' s support. Standouts on the team this year were Greg Nolan, Don Keim and Rod Boyer. Nolan was ranked among the county ' s high scorers for this season. Greg practices his best shot. Senior: Rodney Boyer.

One of the groups at Brandywine that is given little credit for a job well done are the cheerleaders. They are important in keeping up team morale and school spirit. The cheerleaders are the ones who get the crowd psyched which gets the team going. Everyone working with and for each other. That makes all the practice sessions worth it. The girls give up a lot of time to cheer. In fact, most schools have separate cheerleaders for each sport, but Brandywine ' s girls cheer for soccer, wrestling, and basketball. They deserve a great deal of thanks for what they have done. J.V. and Varsity cheer- leaders are greatly appreciated by the teams and by the crowd. Senior cheerleaders were Chris Oswald and Renee Montagner. Let ' s go girls! Varsity Cheerleaders: (front to back) T. Weidele, B. Kunkle. L. Miller, D. Schoedler, D. Mazurie, M. Borrell, B. Smith.

If you look closely, you will see the thin face and sunken eyes caused by loss of weight. These are the BH wrestlers, a little-known group of athletes from our school. As a team, they had a dismal season, but there were some excellent individual wrestlers on the squad, such as Forrest Strachan, Mitch Miller and Sam Miller. Strachan ranks among the best of Brandywine ' s wrestlers. Because of the individuality of this sport, the teams are usually closely knit. Each wrestler goes out by himself to represent each other member of the team. Because of this, there is a great feeling of unity. There are many promising freshman and sophomores on the team who, with some others, should build a very good future for coaches Mr. Keith Brintzenhoff and Mr. Galen Wood. 93 The Matches Were Filled With Excitement.

If one goes to a game, one might be surprised to find that the girls take their game just as seriously as do the boys and go about it just as enthusiastically. The feeling of teamwork and competition is also displayed. Although there were no really tremendous players this season, the team was very well balanced.

Brandywine ' s students received the program enthusiastically. Any student in 10th grade or above may enter Vo-tech to pursue the training required for a trade he otherwise would not receive in high school. Brandywine ' s students travel to the center every day at 11:00 after they have put in their required classes such as English and history at the center they receive training for whatever field they choose. The courses offered include architecture, electronics, indus trial chemisty, auto body repair, cosmetology, nursing and welding, to name but a few. This is an excellent program, giving everyone a chance to pursue his interests as well as build for a solid future. Debbie perfects her wash and set technique.

Brandywine ' s Chorus Lifted Miss Bieber explains syncopation. Choruses have a loint rehearsal. Holiday Spirits To New Heights. Brandywine Heights Senior Chorus The chorus at Brandywine always provides for fine entertainment at concerts. Miss Bieber, directress does a fine job in preparing the group and in providing the fine Christmas and spring concerts. Brandywine ' s chorus is always large because there are no tryouts and anyone who enjoys singing may join the group. A wide variety of music is presented and is done very well. One can tell that the members enjoy singing. Student accompanists also take part by playing at practices and concerts. Some of the fine talent at Brandywine is displayed by the chorus. Chorus Accompanists: S. Ayres, T. Lantz, L. Kieffer, D. Landis, C. Kline. R. Frederick, C. Strachan. T. Weidele, R. Schofer, D. Meek, D. Reeder. P. DeRagon, D. Reinhart, J. Hassler, A. Hess.

Students Participate In Government Functions. The student government at Brandy- wine is a very active group. Presided over by Randall Grossman, the council has accomplished many things for the benefit of the student body. The council sponsors several social events a year as weW as their continued service of run- ning the bookstore for the student body. This year the council finally began to emerge as a true representative of the student body. Although not as much was accomplished as the council would have liked, it was an important start. Assemblies were held at which no fac- ulty members were present since the council wanted to give the students a chance to express their grievances. Brandywine has an active council and a fine advisor, Mr. Sawyer. Recognition shoiuld be given them for a job well done. 112 mmMMM i f U A l4 1 1 MJja i £Q 1 t KM Honor Society: (row 1) L. Turner, L.

The honor society at Brandywine is a fine organization. In order to be a member, one must maintain an average 3.2 or better. The group performs sev- eral duties such as selling candy after school, and the money received from this is put into two scholarships which are given to two members of the grad- uating class at the end of the year. Each December, they also sponsor a panel of college students, BH alumni, who discuss college life and the values of their own high school preparation, for the benefit of the junior and senior classes.

Ctiris, Ellen, and Susie work hard to meet the deadline. A very active and worthwhile organi- zation at Brandywine is the Journalism Class. Open only to juniors and seniors, it gives members a chance to express their thoughts and feelings in the school paper as well as provide for a basic background in journalism. The class has three major purposes: publication of the Tracer, Bullet Flash- es, by the seniors, and instruction in basic journalism of the juniors. It is a stimulating and busy class pe- riod for those involved. It is serious most of the time, and always fun. It has a fine advisor, Mrs. Yarrison, and is probably one of the most profitable organizations we have. Without her help, nothing would have been accomplished. It Was A Stimulating And Busy Class.

The Flashes is a good pub- lication for a high school paper. It cov- ers just about everything that happens in school as well as some outside activi- ties. Several editorials are run each is- sue, and in the guest journalist column, faculty members are given the chance to express their views. The paper also includes entertainment and humor with crossword puzzles and cartoons. The Flashes is a good high school publication. It gives it ' s staff a good background in newspaper work and provides information for the faculty and student body. Newspaper Typist: D. Stewart, J. Buchman, J. Benjamin, J. Hil bert, R.

Locked in it are the memories of your final school year. On its pages are the highlights of your life as a senior at Brandywine. Your yearbook is impor- tant because it has captured all the memories that you will want to hang on to for a life time. When you open it, memories you may have already forgot- ten will come back to you. It is your time to think of all the good times that are gone but are kept alive by your year- book. Tracer ' 71 is yours. It represents your life for that year. It is one of the few things you have left from all that time. It is happiness because you can recall all the memories. It is sadness because all that is left are the memories. But most of all, it is your key to a world that you will never again experience in real ity. Photography Club; R. Detra. W.

Mr. Burkhardt expects fine teams for the coming seasons. This year ' s team, lacking seniors, had two fine players, Rodney DeJarnett and Richard Leiby. Both will be returning next year. There were several talented sopho- mores who rounded out the squad. Baseball Was A Major Spring Sport. Baseball Team: (row 1) D. Walbert. D. Roth. M. Reinhard, M. Stamm, R, Beckert; (row 2) M.

The team had many seniors including standouts: Earl Delong, catcher; and Willard Miller, who took care of the mound duties. There were also many fine underclassmen who played. Although baseball at Bran- dywine does not receive the recognition it deserves, it does provide exciting spectating for its followers. ♦■•  A  jiia!Ba  i, ' ' .i ; Seniors: Steve Keiser. Tom Smith.

Seniors: Renee Montagner. Willard Miller. Senior: Randy Detra. The most popular of the spring sports at Brandywine was track and field. There was always a good turn-out at home meets. Seniors; Don Keim, spe- cializing in the 880; and ace sprinter, Will Miller always provided excitement for the spectators. Other seniors were Randy Detra, discus; and Craig Hertzog, sprinter and hurdler. Mr. Eidle did a great job in his first year as head coach. Practices were long and rough in order to keep the team in shape and in top form. A new addition to this particular sport was girl ' s track. Renee Montagner, the only senior girl on the team, was an ac- tive participant. Track was an enjoyable and exciting sport to spectate and Brandywine ' s teams have always had a high ranking.

Spring Training Was Followed By A Full Sports Calendar. Softball was another sport at Brandy- wine set aside for the girls. They were always a spirited group and enjoyed themselves immensely; and for a girl ' s team, there was a deep sense of competition and dedication. This year ' s squad boasted many fine players in- cluding senior, Kathy Fegely, team catcher. Others on the team formed a well balanced playing unit with Mrs. Kendra Quigley who did a fine job dis- ciplining and coaching the squad. S-u Spring Soccer Team: (row 1) L, Hoppes. S Miller, R.

The Curtain Rises On A Thousand Clowns. The senior class play, A Thousand Clowns, directed by Mr. Mark Gersh- man, was most definitely the most ambitious and perhaps the best produc- tion ever to assemble on a Brandywine stage. Starring Will Kiffer, Syl Holloway, Gary Hertzog, Rick Umberger, Dennis Grim and Neal Fegely, the play was a success from every angle. A Thousand Clowns will be a lasting memory to those who participated in it. There ' s the old jOker! ' Sylvia awaits Worm ' s cue. Sloan Is an idiot. ' Bill and Rick check scripts.

' One of the highlights of our year was the Junior-Senior Prom, held May 14, at the Holiday Inn, Allentown. The theme, We ' ve only just begun, was an ap- propriate theme indeed. The prom was one of our last few moments together before we all prepared to make our be- ginnings. It was a night of fun, a night of happiness, a night of love. It was a night we will all remember later on in life. ' The veal parmlgiana is next. ' ■It ' s chow time! Seniors Spend A And Leisure At Chaperones take a breather. Dunnle cools off. This year, instead of the traditional class trip to New York City, the seniors enjoyed a day of leisure, fun, and relax- ation at the MoNom-ONock Resort m the Poconos. Under blue skies a vari- ety of activities, including tennis, golf, swimming, horseback riding, and shuffle- board provided ample recreation for everyone. The day was highlighted by a candlelight dinner and dance in the evening which will be a lasting memory of the entire ' 71 class. HP?5S? 1 K ' 1 1 B M j H 1 ■■Too late . . . he ' s safe!
