Human beings have always had the desire to learn-to reach out beyond the limits of their experience into the unknown. 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.
