Speaking Is The Path To Understanding. y SPANISH: K Schoch This year, for the first time, freshmen students at Brandy- wine were offered Spanish as an alternative to German to ful- fill their foreign language requirement. 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

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.

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.
