Brandywine Heights High School - Tracer Yearbook (Topton, PA)

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
