Mr. Merkel retires to his office. Long hours of paperwork and dictation await Mr. Merkel . His Services End After Forty Years. Mr. Merkel greets the day with a smile. We, the 72 TRACER sta ff, wish to honor Mr. Ralph S. Merkel in his final year as Superintendent of the Brandywine School District before retirement. Mr. Merkel, who has served over forty years in the field of education, attended Kutztown State College. Muhlenburg College, Lehigh University, and Univer- sity of Pennsylvania where he obtained a B.S. in Edu- cation and an M.S. in Educative Administration. Always active in community and professional activ- ities, Mr. Merkel was a former Boy Scout leader and a past president of the Lions Club. Today he is a member of the Berks County Schoolmen ' s Club, the A.A.S.A. and the Administrative Board Study Council. Every Brandywine student owes a great debt to this man. He has worked hard for many years to make the Brandywine area a well organized and functioning school district. From the TRACER staff and the se- nior class, thank you. Administration

Together They Work In Harmony. Any good orchestra has a good conductor to organ- ize things and Iceep everything flowing in an orderly manner. Mr. Alfred Ayres, the high school principal, is Brandywine ' s expert conductor. Though there is a dif- ference between the positions of principal and conduc- tor, there are many similarities. A conductor must select music and organize it to suit the orchestra. Likewise, Mr. Ayres organizes the courses in Brandy- wine ' s curriculum into an efficient and smoothly run- ning schedule. Keeping a smoothly running school and orchestra together is the job of every principal and conductor. These are not easy jobs to maintain and it takes some- one with courage and integrity to fill these jobs; and Mr. Aryes certainly fills it well. Mr. Alfred A. Ayres: A.B. Muhlenberg College; M..A. Lehigh Uni- versity; Principal. SCHOOL BOARD: (SITTING) Mr. Elwood Heydt , Mr. Fred Derr. Mr. Allen Hobert. (STANDING) Mr. Stanley Nolan, Mr. Henry Fegely. Mr. Charles Savidge, Mr. Robert Fisher. Mr. Elmer Fox. Administration
