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.
