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

Pep Club, the backbone of student athletic support was always busy organizing programs to further stu- dent interest in sports; whether it be sponsoring a bus for a game or organizing a pep rally. This was evi- denced by the very successful Flashlight Night pep rally and others which helped to cheer our teams on to victory. G.A.A. functioned for girls in the same manner Varsity Club operated for boys. It was made up of sports-minded girls who exhibited exceptional talent in hockey, basketball, chcerleading, softball and track. Varsity Club was made up of top notch athletes from all school sports. Any athlete who played for a year or more on a varsity team and earns a letter was eligible for this active club. Varsity Club sponsored many functions which included an alumni night which was a combination basketball game and dance that never fails to draw enormous crowds. 30 Clubs
