A new club introduced at Brandywine this year was F. N, A. or the Future Nurses of America. Headed by Mrs. Hafer, the school nurse, interested girls in ninth through twelfth grade came together to further their knowledge of the profession of nursing. F. N. A. toured the .■ llentown hospital and Student Nurses Quarters. They also received representatives from hospitals and schools of nursing, and toured the Lutheran Home. Most important, they discussed all varieties of medical fields for those whose interests did not lie directly in the field of nursing. In order to instill a sense of culture in interested and talented students, the art club was added to the Bran- dywine program. Under the guidance of Mrs. Gene Weisbecker, the students turned out many beautiful and stunning projects which were displayed in the art room showcase and entered in the annual county art show . Some people built ships in bottles, these boys built models of cars. Model club involved interested stu- dents who built model cars and engines which proved invaluable to future mechanics. 27 Clubs

This quality, though not harsh and blaring, was strong yet pleasing to the ear; a quality not easily ob- tained. Special arrangements and compositions writ- ten by Mr. Forlano and members of stage band fur- ther added to its unique personality which helped to reap the many awards and recognitions in the yearly stage band competitions. The annual special assembly presented by the stage band was also an event which was looked forward to by everyone. Still another aspect of band which was excellently supported by every sports fan at Brandywine was pep band. Pep band added vim and vigor to every soccer and basketball game this season with its catchy tunes and lively beat. Also under the direction of Mr. For- lano, pep band became an established tradition at Brandywine sports events. After a long hiatus from Brandywine ' s club pro- gram, the Dramatics club came in stronger than ever. Since there is no established theater program in Bran- dywine ' s curriculum, Dramatics club exposed both experienced and inexperienced by the many interest- ing and informative speakers present at the meetings. The club also presented many programs this year in- cluding a Christmas assembly which will long be remembered. 29 Clubs
