For that reason the Tracer staff has chosen time as the theme, of the 73 yearbook because time is the theme of life as well. Time is the thread that binds together the memories of the past with the hopes for the future, and creates from them the reality of the present. Time, however, is not divided solely between the past, the present, and the future. In the short span of life there are many kinds of time, each as different as winter is from summer, as spring is from fall. Add all these differences together and one may catch a glimpse of the true nature of time. Many people have tried to describe these differences, but few have succeeded as well as Charles Dickens. In the passage below from A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens almost succeeds in painting a picture of time, by contrasting some of its many faces: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . . This yearbook tells the story of one year in the life of Brandywine Heights. A lot of memories are crowded into that year-to record all of them within this yearbook would be an impossible task. But a great many memories can be found in these pages. This, then, is the 73 Tracer-a window to all the times of this past year. Nature played an important role in Mr Moll ' s teaching We Learn From Those We Love. When people have spent a great deal of time together, they grow to know and love one another. All the little moments of time that were shared form a bond between them that can never be broken in spite of the time and distance which might come to separate them. This is the kind of rel ationship that was shared by the class of 73 with a man who has earned the respect and admiration of all his students. He taught biology at Brandywme until ill health forced his retirement. Although he may no longer be physically present in our school, he is not forgotten by his former students. They will always remember him as a man who cared enough to share a part of his life with his students. He taught them more than biology; he gave them the fruits of a life filled with dedication to the pursuit of knowledge. It is with grateful acknowledge- ment of this dedication and caring that we, the class of 73, dedicate the TRACER to Mr. Carl Moll. He taught them more than biology; he gave them the fruits ot a lite filled with dedication to the pursuit of knowledge a man who cared enough to share a part of his lite with his students ' Mr Moll was always ready with a humorous comment Continue your research ' Works Behind the Clock Man has always been concerned with time. Qut of this concern has grown a need to represent the abstract nature of time in a concrete image, something one can see and touch. A clock is just such an image. It is a tangible representation of time. But there is more to a clock than what can be seen from the outside. Behind its face there lies a mechanism which works constantly to keep the clock ticking. Without the aid of this machine- ry, the clock simply could not function. Brandywine is a lot like this clock. It is more than just a bui lding filled with rooms and desks and books; it is a place full of people and activities, and like the clock, Brandywine is made to function by the people hidden behind its face. The school would soon begin to falter without the assistance of each and every one of these people. Who are these people? They are the school personnel: the faculty, the administration, the school board, the guidance staff, and the office, kitchen, and custodial staffs. These are the people who, like the works behind the clock, keep the school in motion. Many of us tend to forget the part that the school personnel play in the life of Brandywine Heights. Their position in the life of the school is often made to seem unimportant. But it isinot so. The school personnel are vital to the existence of the school. Without them, there would be no Brandywine to write about in this yearbook. It is because of their valuable contribution to our school that we dedicate these next pages to the school personnel-the works behind the clock at Brandywine Heights. They Take Time To Take Care. SUPERINTENDENT: Mr. John Skinkus. ASSISTANT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT: Mr Alfred Ayres Brandywme ' s administrative staff is composed of three men, each of whom gives generously of his time and effort to the school. At the head of the school district is the super- intendent, Mr. John Skinkus. It is his responsibility to oversee the affairs of every school in the district, not only the high school. Beginning this year, the superintendent has someone to aid him in the management of the school district— the assis- tant to the superintendent. The position of assistant to the superintendent is filled by the former high school principal, Mr. Alfred Ayres. His promotion left a vacancy in the high school office which was filled in early November by Mr. Dan- iel Corazzi. Together these three men assume the responsibility of the administration of the school and the school district. They shoul- der a burden that few would want to share. PRINCIPAL: Mr Daniel Corazzi School Board: (ROW 1): Mr Charles Savidge, Mr Henry Fegely. Mr Robert Fisher, Mr Elwood Heydt (ROW 2): Mr Walter Hilbert, Mr Wayne Geiger. Mr Fred Derr Missing trom picture are Mr Elmer Fox and Mr Stanley Nolan Of all the parts that comprise the works behind the clock at Brandywine Heights, the school board is that part which can be most accurately compared to the mainspring of a clock. It is at the mainspring that the energy needed to keep the clock running smoothly and efficiently is begun. So it is with the school board. Here the decisions are made which are as vital to the function of the school as the energy of the mainspring is to the clock. We are not always pleased with the decisions of the school board, but the school district could not survive without them. The continuing operation of the school system is due to their leadership. This function of leadership is served by the officers, of the school board. These are the men whose authority and leadership act as the guiding influence of the school district. The school board officers serve a term that extends from January of one year to January of the next. As a result, there are two different sets of officers that serve within any one school year. The school board officers of 1973, not pictured here, are Mr. Robert Fish- er, president; Mr. Stanley Nolan, vice president; Mr. Henry Fegely, secretary; and Mr. Elmer Fox, treasurer. Officers: Vice President, Mr Robert Fisher; President, Mr Charles Savidge; Secretary, Mr. Henry Fegely. Missing from picture is Treasurer, Mr. Elmer Fox. In describing the various members of the school personnel at Brandywine Heights, we cannot forget the people who do much of the work that is required to keep the school operating smoothly. The ladies of the office staff are responsible for the hand- ling of the vast amount of paperwork which is involved in the operation of the school. The school nurse is responsible for the health and well- being of the student body. The custodial staff is involved with the maintenance of the school building. These are the people who spend much of their time picking up after us. The ladies of the cafeteria staff are the br ave souls who prepare and serve the noonday meal to the hordes of raven- ous students. These are the people who are necessary to the day-to-day existence of the school itself. NURSE: Mrs. Lorraine Hafer. OFFICE STAFF: Mrs Gloria Heiter, Mrs Mary Bollinger. Mrs Goldie Geist.

This desire to learn, this search for knowledge, is what education is all about. Education is the product of many different components, one of which is the curriculum. As we shall use the term in the next few pages, curriculum can be defined as the various courses offered by a school to its students. It is the framework within which the learn-; ing process is carried out. But what do time, as represented by the hourglass, and education have in common? The purpose of e ducation is to learn; the purpose of the hourglass is to tell time. The different subjects of the curriculum, like the many grains of sand in the hourglass, are the small particles that work to achieve the purpose. As each grain of sand contributes in its small way to mark the passage of time, each course ; offered in the curriculum contributes to achieve the purpose of education-learning. In these next few pages we will explore the curriculum of Brandywine Heights. Some of the courses are new and different, while others are the same familiar subjects that high school students study everywhere. But in any case, each course is important, because like the grains of sand in the hourglass, each contributes to the main goal of Brandywine— the education of its students. MACHINIST-TOOL MAKER: B. Readinger. J. Gambler Not every high school student is interested in preparing for a college career. Some people find that their interests and abilities are better suited to a practical rather than an aca- demic curriculum. Brandywine offers several alternatives to such students, one of which is the vocational-technical program. This program is a popular one. Open to members of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, it prepares these stu- dents for their future occupations. Training is available in fields ranging from electrical engineering to cosmotology to data processing. The typical day of the vo-tech student is slightly different from that of the other students. The vo-tech students spend only half the day at Brandywine: their afternoons are spent at one of two vocational-technical centers. These centers are shared with students from several other high schools in the county. Academic courses are studied in the morning at Bran- dywine, and vo-tech courses are pursued in the afternoon. The vocational-technical course is an invaluable part of the curriculum at Brandywine. It serves to widen the scope of educational opportunities available to the students. FOOD PREPARATION: G Smith.

Mini-courses were introduced to the curriculum. Each mini-course offered an intensive nine-week probe into a specific topic. The shorter duration of these mini-courses allowed for greater variety in subject selection. Topics rang- ing from Colonial America to Consumer Economics were of- fered to the students. One of the reasons that the social studies department in- stituted the mini-course system was to allow for greater per- sonal initiative on the part of the student. This shifted part of the burden of responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student. If this program is successful, the mini-course may soon be seen in other areas of curriculum as well.

A new art teach- er had to be found to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Mrs. Weisbecker. Mrs. Christiane Heilman was chosen to enter that position. It was apparently a wise selection, be- cause the flow of creativity from the art room has only been enhanced since her arrival. The art students have continued to express their talent and imagination, working in such var- ious areas as macrame. needlework, and printing as well as the more traditional art forms of painting, drawing, and sculp- ture. The obvious pleasure that the students derive from the art class more than justifies its existence. There is room for individuality in the curriculum at Bran- dywine. When the students made their course selection last year, music theory was one of the classes offered. Although only one student was interested, the course was not dropped altogether. This student was still able to stu dy music theory, following a program of independent study.

These boys are enrolled in a coeducational home econ- omics class, just one of the courses offered by this department. The guys will be among the first to tell you that home econ- omics can be an enjoyable as well as a practical experience. Two more of the alternatives to the academic program of- fered at Brandywine are the vocational-agriculture and the industrial arts programs. Both of these courses offer an ex- perience in practical education to their students. The members of the vocational-agriculture program, or Vo-Ag as it is called, participate in a curriculum designed to prepare them for a future in farming. Vo-Ag students are also members of F.F.A. and spend time out of the classroom in activities related to their schoolwork. Industrial arts students, on the other hand, spend their class time in the shop, learning to work with skill and care with a variety of machines, tools, and materials. VO-AG: R Bleiler, E Eck, L Merkel, H Brensinger 25 Vocational The Key ToSuccess Is A Challenge. One of the electives offered to the sophomores is personal typing. Although not as rigorous a course as business typing, it offers the beginning student a thorough introduction to typ- ing for his own personal use. A student who has learned to type has mastered a skill that will be of great use to him in the future. Another course included within the scope of Brandywine ' s curriculum is the business math. Offered to those students who are interested in pursuing a career in business, it focuses on a different facet of mathematics than the math courses studied by academic students. It provides the business stu- dents with a useful and necessary tool for their future vocations. For those seniors who thought that trigonometry would be too much to handle during the first period of the day, general math was the answer. This course acquainted its students more thoroughly with the basic fundamentals of mathematics. M Bk H — — MS I - mm iJ TYPING: B Miller, D Walton.

Gottshall School Publications Become A Major Subject. Previously a minor elective, this year journalism became a major subject. This meant that the senior members of the class who were responsible for the publication of the school newspaper and the yearbook had one extra day in which to work. Members of the newspaper staff devoted all of their time and energy towards the publication of the school newspaper, entitled Bullet Flashes. Besides the newspaper staff, the rest of the class was also called upon to contribute articles to the newspaper. At the same time, the yearbook staff was working diligently to prepare Brandywine ' s yearbook, the Tracer, for eventual publication in the spring. Both staffs worked over- time to make the school publications as perfect as they could be. Tracer Staff: (ROW 1): Photographer, B Stauffer: Typists, S Sterner and M.

For those students who chose Spanish, the doors were opened not only to a dif- ferent language, but to an entirely different culture as well. The study of Spanish could one day be very useful to these students, especially because so many people in our country today speak this language as their mother tongue. SPANISH: S. Younger SPANISH: M Karom, A OeLong 29 Spanish PHYSICS: K Lebo, T Weidele Ecology Is Added To Science Curriculum. Seniors in the academic sections had the choice either of physics or advanced biology as a science course. Although most students chose advanced biology, there were a few in- trepid souls who elected to take physics instead. These stu- dents soon discovered that physics was (15?) a complex and challenging subject. It did offer them, however, a fascinating glimpse into the mysteries of the world around them. Chemistry was the field into which the junior academic sections delved. A required course, the juniors soon learned that chemistry was somewhat different than the biology they had studied as sophomores. The more abstract theoretical nature of chemistry was perhaps what made it seem more difficult to the juniors. CHEMISTRY: J Keller Met lO til! I Will to fats to people  ■lis.! PHYSICS: A Beck.

Gym was looked for- ward to by many of the students, as it provided a welcome change from the classroom routine. Certain activities were not appreciated as much as others, such as running the track, but on the whole, gym was enjoyed by many. During the last period of the day, when most of the stu- dents had totally expended their day ' s supply of energy, some people were running around the gym participating in intra- murals. Offered separately to both boys and girls, intramurals was activity enjoyed by many athletic-minded students. GYM: M Fenstemacher. T Phillips 31 Phys Ed GlildHau EC w M I s WMfd One of the most familiar sounds in the home of a high school student is the clangor of an alarm clock. This is the sound that drags many an unwilling sleeper from his bed every morning of the school week. It is certainly not one of the more pleasant memories of high school. Because so many mornings dawn to the accompaniment of an alarm clock, it has come to symbolize beginnings, as morning is the beginning of each new day. The underclassmen-the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors of Brandywine Heights-are undertaking their own kind of beginning. They are embarking upon the adventure of high school. The first three years of high school are an important beginning in one ' s lifetime. In these years the student begins his high school career, preparing himself for the final goal of graduation. In this time the student is introduced to the ways of high school life, hope- fully learning all the necessary skills and basic knowledge required throughout his school career. But the underclassmen do much more than sit in the schoolroom. They are not hidden away in the woodwork, nor are they the in- ferior brats of the popular myth, continually underfoot. They are full-scale citizens of Brandywine, participating in the school life as actively as do the seniors. The underclassmen are often forgotten, lost in the flurry and excitement surrounding graduation. But they, too, are an important part of the school, just as important as any senior. It is for this reason that the Tracer staff has chosen to devote an entire section to the underclassmen of Brandywine Heights, perhaps the most important members of the student body. K.

' 51 Juniors Brandywine is the center of much activity, both in and out of the classroom. There is much more to the school than tests and textbooks and teachers; a lot of activity occurs outside of school hours. This activity is sponsored and created by the clubs and organizations that comprise such a great part of the life at Brandywine Heights. A club or an organization is formed when a group of people get together in order to share a common interest. Part of this sharing involves organizing activities designed to further the interest of the group. But because funds are needed in order to pursue these activities, the club or organization must find ways to raise money. Therefore much time is spent by these groups in money-making activities. Fund-raising is not the main purpose of the clubs and organizations at Brandywine, but it is a necessary part of their existence. It is not as mercenary as it sounds; many of the students at Brandywine share in the good times produced by these fund-raising activities. The dual purpose of the clubs and organizations at Brandywine is represented by the money clock on the opposite page. The money-making activities that the clubs are responsible for are symbolized by the different coins that represent the hours; the good times that the activities produce are symbolized by the clock itself. The clubs and organizations of Brandywine are responsible for many of the activities that make the school more than just a place of learning; they create a spirit that is unique to Brandywine. Because of this important function we devote this section to the clubs and activities of Brandywine Heights. Clubs and Activities Honor Society: (ROW 1): M. Deibert. G.

Honor Society is an honorary organization composed of those students who have attained a high level ot scholastic achieve- ment. Advised by Mr. Robert Nash, the Honor Society is respon- sible for two regular activities: the selling of candy and tutoring. The candy is sold during lounge periods and after school. Profits from the sales provide funds for a scholarship which is offered every year to a deserving senior. Members of the National Honor society also provide tutoring in any subject for those students who need it. Drama Club provided an outlet for those students who have been bitten by the acting bug. Sponsored by Mrs. Allmendmger, drama club offers its members a variety of activities designed to indulge their theatrical interests. During their club meetings the members perform oral exercises designed to accustom the individual to being in front of a group. The members utilize this skill in dramatic productions, which they try to stage at least once a year. This year the play, entitled Pajama Party, was performed in February. There is also an annual field trip for the junior and senior members of the club, which allows them to see the Broadway show of their choice. Information on all aspects of dramatic productions, such as make-up and lighting, is another part of the club ' s activities. Student Council is composed of eight representatives from each of the four grade levels in the high school. These students meet approximately once a week, together with the four officers and the faculty advisor, Mr. Stephen Reinhard. The student council acts primarily as a liaison between the student body and the administration. It is the one avenue through which the students can effectively voice their ideas and opmons. Student council also sponsors many activities, such as dances and a movie night. 55 Clubs F.F.A. (ROW 1): E. Eck. D. Turner, M. Hess, S Barlet, R. Bleiler, W. Witwer.

Members Attend National Convention In Kansas City. Both F.B.L.A. and F.F.A. have been very active this year. Members of both clubs participated in many activities related to their future occupations. In October the senior members of F.F.A. attended the national convention of this club in Kansas City, Missouri. Throughout the year members of F.F.A. worked on many projects, exhibiting some of their work at local fairs and farm shows. F.B.L.A. members were also busy, planning to attend the state convention of their club in May. They also hoped to send a delegate to the National F.B.L.A. convention in June. Another of the activities participated in by the club members this year was the singing of Christmas carols at the Topton Home. There were several new names on the club roster this year, one of which was homecrafts club. Homecrafts club has expanded the scope of the original F HA. Members of the club work on a varied number of activities, some of which are directly related to homemaking and some of which could more precisely be called handicrafts or artwork-hence the name homecrafts club. These activities range from needlework to sewing, to cooking to all kinds of crafts. Homecrafts Club: (ROW 1): N Baus, B. Seidel, C. Kline, D. Shade, R. Readinger, S. Kistler, Y. Ferry, M.

These two clubs are actually the same, except that they meet in two different rooms. Originally there was to be only one club, but so many people wanted to join that a second club was created. The two groups, one sponsored by Mr. Sawyer and the other by Mr. Bolez, challenge each other to tournaments in such games as checkers, chess, Chinese checkers and others. The number and type of games available are enormous, ranging from card games to word games, to games of strategy and skill. Members of the two clubs look forward enthusiastically to each club meeting. Mrs. Rambo sponsored another one of this years new clubs, the floral arrangement club. Mrs. Rambo has always been interested in flowers, and this year she shared her interest with others. The purpose of this club is to learn the fundamen tals of the art of arranging flowers in a beautiful and aestheti- cally pleasing manner. This is not as easy as it may sound; it is considered by some to be a difficult and demanding art. TaNe Games: (ROW 1): J Fox. D. Radcliffe (ROW 2): D Kramer, D Delong. B Flannery. B Kline.

(Girls ' Athletic Association) share. Both are composed of people who find that sports form an interesting and important part of their lives. The two clubs are different from each other in one way, however; membership in Varsity Club is restricted to boys, while membership in G.A.A. is limited to girls. Although any girl who is interested enough in sports may join G.A.A., the membership requirements of Varsity Club are a little more rigid. In order to be a member of Varsity Club, a boy has to have earned a varsity letter in at least one sport for each year that he is a member of the club. This requirement assures that every member of Varsity Club is there because that is what he really wants to do. Both Varsity club and G.A.A. sponsor activities designed to raise money for their respective organizations. This money is used to finance other club activities. These activities, together with the nature of the clubs themselves, combine to make both Varsity Club and G.A.A. two of the most respected clubs in the school. Mini-bikes and motorcycles were the focus of another of this year ' s new clubs at Brandywine. The mini-bike and motorcycle enthusiasts who made up the membership of this club worked on several facets of this sport. At the beginning of the year the club members bought a motorcycle with funds borrowed from the school. They then spent many of their club meetings first stripping down and then rebuilding the motorcycle, adding their own improvements as they went along. They planned to sell the motorcycle at the end of the year, hopefully at a profit, using some of the proceeds to pay back the money that the school loaned them. Club members also brought in their own mini- bikes and motorcycles and worked on them, as did their club adviser, Mr. Wood. Plans were made to bring in two guest speakers, one man to speak about motorcycle racing and another from the state police to talk about the rules of motor- cycle safety. 61 Clubs Audio Visual Club: (ROW 1): R Bitting, C.

Service is the purpose of library club. The school librarian, Mrs. McGomgle, instructs the club members in the tech- niques of running the library. The club members then assist with the tasks necessary to the operation of the library. The service that the members of audio-visual club perform is equally important. They are the people who operate the audio- visual equipment that has become so essential to our present- day system of education. The club members are always there to lend a hand, whether it is for a school assembly or for a classroom presentation. One of the hobbies highlighted in Brandywine ' s club program is model building. The members of model club are all very enthusiastic about their hobby, spending their club meetings talking about and building models. The club members planned two major activities for this year, one of which was a contest to select the best of all models constructed during club periods. Members of science club are not all interested in pursuing a career in the field of science, but they do have a deep cunousity about the subject. The science club ' s sole purpose is to be a place where people with a common interest can meet and explore the subject more thoroughly. For that reason, the main activities of the club are discussion and scientific experimentation. 63 Clubs 64 Marching Band 65 Marching Band Booster Club: (ROW 1) G. Geist, J Brown (ROW 2) G Heiter, M.

Students at Brandywine are not the only people who can become involved in school activities— parents of students and other friends of Brandywine can and do participate in these activities as well. Through the years, two organizations, the Bandoleers and the Booster club, have provided the opportunity for members of the community interested in Brandywine to become directly involved in its affairs. This year was no exception. As in years past both of these organizations have been active in their efforts to support school activities. The Bandoleers are a group of parents and others who sup- port Brandywine ' s marching band. They participate in fund- raising activities designed to provide the money to pay for the band uniforms. It was through the efforts of the Bandoleers that the Band was able to purchase new uniforms this year. The Booster club is also composed of parents and other interested community members who devote their time in order to support the sports program here at Brandywine. Members of Booster club organize fund-raising activities, the proceeds of which ar e used to pay for sports uniforms and equipment. 66 Clubs State Bind: (ROW 1) K. Radchffe, C Kline, K, Hertiog, MB Schofer, C. Hertzog, J. Miller. K. Umberger, R. Keller, D, Beitler, Mr. Forlano, G Degler (ROW 2) J. Moll, K. Herteog, V. Babilon. D, Scholer, K Weaknecht. Mr Forlano gives special instructions to his saxophone section. In the music department at Brandywine are included two instrumental groups: the marching band and the stage band. Both are directed by Mr. Forlano. The difference between the two groups is contained in their areas of performance. Most of us know what a marching band is and what kind of music it plays; however, the function of a stage band is not quite as familiar. The stage band, as its name implies, is the instrumental group that performs on the stage. It is an extremely versatile group, capable of playing any kind of music ranging from classi- cal works to the latest rock songs. Their repertoire has even included, on occasion, some original music composed by their director, Mr. Forlano. The stage band accompanies many of our assemblies, and performs in concert twice a year, once during the Christmas season and again in the spring. This year the stage band also planned to participate in competition with other bands during the month of March. Each year students from every high school in the county try out for positions in the county band. This year one of the members of stage band, Lynn Herman, achieved the distinction of membership not only in the county band, but of membership in the district band as well. This was the first time that a student from Brandywine had ever had the great amount of skill and talent necessary to be awarded a place in the district band. This was a great honor not only for Lynn Herman, but for both the school and the band as well. 67 Stage Band There is a vocal section of Brandywine ' s music department as well as an instrumental. This vocal section is the chorus. It is actually two separate groups, a girl ' s chorus and a boy ' s chorus, which are combined under the direction of Miss Bieber. The two groups practice separately once a week, the boys led by Mr. Forlano and the girls led by Miss Bieber, and they meet together once a week as well. The chorus performs in concert with the concert band twice a year. A select group of underclassmen is also chosen each year to sing during commencement exercises. These are the only times that the chorus performs in public. Besides the actual singing members of the chorus, there must be accompanists as well. The accompanists, all singing members of the chorus in addition to their playing duties, put in long hours of outside practice on the piano so that at concert time there is just the right blend of voice and music. As in band, there is a yearly competition for positions in a county-wide musical organization. This year many Brandywine students tried out for county chorus. Those who made it were Karen Gottshall, Joan Hassler, Mary Beth Schofer, Renae Miller, Melinda Millard, Tim Long, Mike Confer, Robert Edinger, and Keith Dierolf. Melinda Millard also succeeded in attaining the position of accompanist for the county chorus. Christmas Concert Miss Bieber put forth her best efforts in her final year of concerts.

A stop watch is one of these symbols. The purpose of a stop watch is to stop time; that is, to cap ture a moment in time and freeze it, in order to measure its duration. As such, the stop watch is an indispensible aid to sports. One form of another of this timepiece is used in almost every kind of sports event, ranging from soccer, hockey, and basketball games to wrestling meets and track and field events. Because of its purpose as a tool to measure time in ath- letic events, the stop watch is a fitting symbol to represent sports- particularly sports here at Brandywine. The sports program here at Brandywine is a very comprehensive one. It includes all kinds of sports and all kinds of people. But all these different sports events and all these people serve a purpose beyond that of athletics itself. Sports mean far more than just physical activity; the sports teams serve to represent the school as well. The teams become symbols of the entire student body at Brandywine Heights. Not to be forgotten are the devoted fans of the Bullets ' teams. They are as much a part of the sports program here at Brandywine as are the coaches and team members themselves. These people are present at every game to cheer the teams on, whether in victory or defeat. The sports program is an integral part of the life here at Brandywine. Because of their contribution as one of the many and varied activities which create the entity known as Brandywine Heights, this division of the Tracer 73 yearbook is devoted to sports. V Seniors: P.

This year ' s season showed that Brandywine ' s soccer team had improved greatly since last year. The Bullets had been spot- lighted early in the season as a strong team, one to watch for as a candidate tor the county championship. Although the Bullets didn ' t win that championship, they put up a good fight, coming out of the play-offs with a tie for second place in the county. That they were a tough and formidable team can be testified to by the nickname that their Kutztown opponents dubbed them with— the Brandywine Bruisers. According to the Kutz- town team members, no matter how hard or how many times a Bullet was knocked down, he came up from the ground quick- ly and continued fighting as toughly as ever. This year ' s team did not lack for outstanding players either. Two members of Brandywine ' s soccer team were chosen for the Berks County All-Stars- Barry Hoffmaster and David Oswald. This was a great honor, and was a credit not only to Barry and Dave, but to their coach, Mr. Kline, and their teammates as well. Seniors: S Miller. K. Lebo kUHofj, 72 Soccer Seniors: D Chnstman.

Mr tat Wssei t Young Team Builds Last year Brandywine ' s girls ' hockey team won the division championship. They did not do so well this year, but perhaps that was the result ot the comparative youth of the team. Eight members of last year ' s championship team were graduating seniors— the loss of their experience was a damaging blow. This year the team listed only three seniors on its roster. The rest of the team was made up of underclassmen, the major- ity of whom were incoming freshmen. Coached ably by Mrs. Quigley, the team members fought their hardest in each and every one of their games, but they were hampered by the youth Strenj ft is not I lifts to Je be a force to b bers have a ye Seniors: D Kunkle, D Kern 74 Hockey Varsity Hockey: (ROW 1): L Gentile.

This is not to say that these girls did not have the necessary qualities to be a top-notch team. The Bullets ' hockey team will be a force to be reckoned with in the future, now that its mem- bers have a year ' s experience under their belts. A lot of polish- ing and perfecting of skills can be accomplished in one season. All that remains to be said is that the rest of the county had better keep their eyes on Brandywine ' s hockey team in the future. Co-Captains: D Kern.

The loss of one of Brandywine ' s most outstanding runners ever, Pete Patterson, who moved away last year, definitely put a dent in the team ' s overall record this season. However, there were some outstand- ing individual performances made at the meets by the Brandy- wine runners, although there were not enough of these at any one meet to add up to a victory. Despite this, the team mem- bers, coached by Mr. German, never gave up trying. They gave the best that they had. Nothing more can be asked of a team. V 76 Cross Country Vanity Basketball: (ROW 1): G.

Coach Youse points out a brilliant maneuver to the future varsity players. Although at the time of this writing the Bullets ' basketball team was not having a winning season, it had chalked up a few impressive achievements. Midway through the season, two of its members were still numbered among the ten best basketball players in the county. Senior Barry Hoffmaster was rated num- ber two, while junior Barry Rauenzahn ranked ninth in the league. The Bullets also performed creditably at an invitational held at Upper Perkiomen on the two days following Christmas. There were four seniors on the Varsity team this year, coached as in years past by Mr. Youse. The remainder of the team was composed of some very talented juniors and sopho- mores. The junior varsity team, on the other hand, coached by Mr. German, was made up solely of freshmen, with the excep- tion of one lone sophomore. There were several changes observed at the basketball games this year. The practice of appointing different co-captains at each game was adopted. This was not as confusing to the spec- tators as were the new luies concerning fouls and foul shots. It took a little time for all concerned to become adjusted to the new regulations. Also, the varsity team went Indian this year, adopting Indian nicknames, in keeping with their motto, Bullets on the warpath. 77 Boys ' Basketball y n V ♦ 1 1 1 I) III «u _1 Senior L Hoppes. Senior.

The girls do not get the attention that the boys do; they receive neither the audience nor the same amount of publicity. But that doesn ' t mean that girls ' sports are not just as serious as are boys ' sports; they are just as serious and just as well-played. That this is true is evidenced by the league record of this years girls ' basketball team, coached by Mrs. Quigley. At the time of this writing, the girls were first in the Eastern Division of the league with a record of two wins and no losses. This shows a tremendous improvement in the team since last year, when the girls didn ' t win a game. The members of the team have really worked hard to achieve what they have. Senior G Fegely I.V.

Even though a successful team requires a tremendous amount of mutual dedication and team spirit, wrestling remains an essentially individual sport. It is therefore possible for a team to have a poor season and still produce a few outstanding indi- vidual competitors. Such was the case this year-the wrestling team did not have a winning season; nevertheless, there were two grapplers on the team who performed admirably throughout the season. One of these was Sam Miller, a senior who was, at the time of this writing, undefeated in league matches. Senior Richard Lantz also wrestled well, winning most of his matches during the season. One of the most exciting matches of the year was the upset scored by the Bullets against the Fleetwood Tigers. The Tigers, favored to beat Brandywine, were leading throughout the begin- ning of the meet. But the Bullets rallied and when senior Mark Kohl pinned his opponent, the outcome of the meet was decided. Although it was not yet officially over, Mark ' s pin had assured victory for the Bullets.

Eat ' Em Up, Eat ' Em Up, Rah Rah Rah Ushered in with the new school year was a major change in the organization of the cheerleaders. The girls still cheered the Bullets ' teams onward, whether in victory or defeat, at the various athletic events, but there was one difference— there was only one squad. No longer were the girls divided into two separ- ate squads; they were consolidated into one group which cheered during both junior varsity an d varsity games. This meant that there were fewer girls cheering for longer stretches of time. That spelled a lot of hard work for the eight girls who were chosen to be cheerleaders this year. This group of eight girls was composed of two members from each grade level. There was one more change in the organization of the cheer- leaders, besides that of eliminating the two separate squads. The cheerleaders had a new adviser this year, the new art teacher, Mrs. Heilamn. She came to the girl ' s practice sessions to help them rehearse their cheers and then came to the games to see the end result. She quickly became a familiar sight at many of Brandywme ' s athletic events. Senior Co-Captain: D Mazurie 85 Cheerleaders ♦ I 86 Clock of the Future Perhaps for the first time in their lives, the members of the class of 73 must come face to face with time; they must begin to appreciate just a little of the true nature of time. This realization is thrust upon them by the ever-nearing approach of graduation. With the advent of this momentous event, the seniors have finally reached a point where they can stop and take account of their lives. For the first time they can clearly see the past that they have left behind and the future that is yet to be. But the seniors at Brandywine do not dwell in the past. Although it is true that a part of their life is ending, it is also true that a new life is just beginning for them. Most seniors are too busy making plans and dreaming dreams for the future to spend much time reminiscing about the past. It is the nature of the young to look ahead rather than behind. That is why the timepiece on the facing page was chosen to represent the senior section it is sym- bolic of that aspect of time which most concerns the seniors— the future. This watch with all its gadgetry and intricate complexities, gives one the impression of belonging to some future time. It appears to be a vision of some point in time that is yet to be. Such visions are those that crowd the minds of the seniors who have finally achieved the final goal of graduation. The seniors are a very special part of our school. They have spent four long years here, working and playing, and soon they will be gone. They will leave the halls of Brandywine forever, to begin their lives anew in some other place. And so this section is reserved for the seniors, to preserve one small piece of their lives on paper, so that they may have something to remember in their future. m 1 B v _ . § X L Hi v.. I Mr Ayres This year the Tracer staff invited Mr. Ayres to write a letter to the graduating class of 1973. In return we, the members of the Tracer staff, would like to dedicate these next few words to him, as a tribute to his many years of service and dedication. This was the last year that Mr. Ayres served as principal of the high school. He served in this capacity for seventeen years, leaving just this past November to serve as assistant to the superintendent of the school district. During his many years as principal, Mr. Ayres never failed to attend a single school activity, whether it was a sporting event, a musical program, or a class play. Always involved and interested in school activities, he has also been active in church and com- munity affairs. We will remember both the good times and the bad; we will remember the habit Mr. Ayres had of removing his glasses when he became angry, but we will also remember the traditional welcome home speech he gave in the auditorium every year on the first day of school. Although we did not always see eye-to-eye, as is so often the case between people, we will always remember him with warmth and affection. To The Class of 1973: In presenting the theme TIME, this issue of the Tracer has captured a period of time which was memorable and cherished. It was a time for loving and hating, a time for laughing and crying, a time for winning and losing, a time for talking and remaining silent, and a time for planting and reaping. Your today has been built with the blocks of yesterdays. Your tomorrows will be built with the blocks of yesterdays and todays. As you grow in that tomorrow, create an individual which will reflect the blocks we tried to mold in you. Take time to think, to play, to read, to love, to be friendly, to be unselfish, and to work to the best of your ability. Do not procrastinate - for your todays become yesterdays much too quickly. Good luck and may God continue to accompany you in your tomorrow. 89 Letter from Mr Ayres Charles H.

' Til We Meet Again! forge ' s su ave and sexy personality will always be remembered. Brandywine has been fortunate in that it has received a foreign exchange student almost every year. But we were more than just fortunate when a Uraguayan named Jorge Mario Demarco Garcia arrived at our school early last February. This name was quite a mouthful and so he was immediately christen- ed with the nickname George. But no matter what one called him, it was the experience of a lifetime just to know him. Jorge was unlike anyone we had ever known before. He quickly made friends with almost everyone he met and soon had become completely accepted into the student body. His English improved rapidly and soon he no longer needed his little red dictionary. Much of his increased vocabulary could be credited to a few of his new American friends and included some words which could not be found in any dictionary. He even learned to say a few things in Pennsylvania Dutch. But Jorge was not the only person who learned from our encounter; we learned much from him as well. He taught us a great deal about friendship and laughter. Jorge returned to his homeland in January and although he is gone now, many memories remain behind. Each person has his or her own special memories of Jorge. Who could forget the yearbook assembly where he stole the show with his janitor ' s mop? Who could forget the crowd of girls that always seemed to gather wherever Jorge was? And who could forget his last day at school— his farewell speech and all those last good-byes. Jorge said that he didn ' t want to say good-bye, nor even adios, but only until we meet again. Let ' s leave it at that, then— until we meet again, Jorge. 118 Exchange Student Like clowns, people wear masks; I wish mankind would remove their masks and reveal their true selves. Gail Fegely, Brandywine ' s 1973 Junior Miss Every year, in the spring, the members of the junior class elect three girls as nominees for the title of Brandywine ' s Jr. Miss. This year ' s nominees were Gail Fegely, Diane Kern, and Joann Keller. When the final decision had been made, on the basis of academic ability, personality, talent, poise, and appearance, it was announced that Gail Fegely had been chosen as Brandywine ' s Jr. Miss. This meant that she would represent our school in the fall at the competition for the title of Berks County Jr. Miss. The pageant was held at Schuylkill Valley High School on October 7. The theme was Country Jubilee. The first thing the girls did was parade through the auditorium. They then participated in the evening gown competition. During the com- petition each girl walked up to a wishing well and made a wish out loud. Gail ' s wish was that Like clowns people wear masks; I wish mankind would remove their masks and reveal their true selves. This wish was in keeping with her talent presentation, a skit in which she appeared as a clown. After the girls delivered their talent presentation, they all performed together in a physical fitness routine which was composed of a song and modern dance. Finally the announcement of the new Berks County Jr. Miss was made. Although Gail was not chosen for the honor, we at Brandywine remain very proud of her. Country Jubilee Is Theme Of 73 Jr. Miss Pageant. As luniors, the class of 73 chose J Keller, G. Fegely and D. Kern to represent Brandywine in the Junior Miss Preliminaries. 119 Junior Miss ' 4«tti« «i  l r .t JW « ««S« iS%Ni«i B «. ' . $£ ■$ M$ Throughout the yearbook, reference has been made to the different kinds of time which are involved in school life. At the beginning of each division a different type of timepiece has been related to one of the various aspects of time. Until now, however, we have dealt with time only as it involves the school. But time is an important factor to people in all walks of life, not only to students and teachers. For example, the members of the community in which Brandywine is located share many different relationships with time. These relationships can perhaps be best symbolized by the revolving clock situated at the Bank of Pennsylvania. This clock, a familiar sight in Topton, is located in the center of the town. Over the years it has come to be regarded almost as the town clock . It is therefore the perfect symbol to represent both the community itself and the kind of workaday time with which the community is involved. But why speak of the community at all in the introduction to the advertisement section? It is because this is the one place in the yearbook where the contributions of some of the members of the community are evident. Without the service and support of these people, many of our school activities would have had to be curtailed. Therefore, we, the members of the Tracer staff, are especially indebted to those who have contri- buted to our advertisement section. NOLAN ' S DEPT. STORE 33 East Franklin St. Topton, Pa.

Fourth St. Reading, Pa. 131 Advertisements On this page we temporarily end the story of the yearbook. Between its covers we have dealt with many of the different faces of time, especially those which have to do with the events of the past school year. However, not all of these events have been recorded in the yearbook, because the school year had not yet come to a close when the book was printed. That is why, within a few months, a supplement will be added to the yearbook. What is the purpose of the supplement? It ' s purpose is outlined clearly in its name—the supplement is designed to add on to the yearbook. It picks up where the yearbook ends and completes the story of the school year. The supplement ties together all the loose ends left dangling at the end of the year, bringing to a close the complete Tracer 73 yearbook. The supplement describes the various activities which take place during the last months of the school year, activities such as the junior and senior class plays, spring sports, the prom, and commencement. Because of the wide range of interests these activities include, the supplement is entirely different from the other divisions of the yearbook. It does not concern itself with only one kind of time, as do the other divisions; instead, it deals with many of the different faces of time. Because of the diversity included within this division, the pendulum was chosen to represent the supplement. The pendulum swings back and forth, from left to right, passing in its travels through every part of the spectrum. The spectrum contains all the different kinds of time, so as the pendulum swings it touches upon all of the various aspects of time, just as does the supplement. In order to preserve the memories of the happenings and events of the spring of 1973 the yearbook staff presents the supplement— a finale to the Tracer 73 Yearbook. oft
