4k fy V - i . :r IN MEMORIAM Fay M. Bordner Aprils, 1926— November 2, 1974 Mrs. Bordner, too, was a part of the school. She taught math twelve years at Brandywine to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. She was a homeroom teacher and a former senior class advisor. A dedicated teacher, she was prepared to help us in any way she could. We will always remember her saying, It ' s a Friday -Friday, or when correcting a mistake she made, I was just checking if you were awake. She always walked around in a cloud of chalk dust and wore chalk smudges on her clothes, because she was found working at the blackboard more than any other place in her room. Mrs. Bordner was forever ready wi th a joke or smile. Very few students spent a period in her room without smiling or laughing at least once. We were impressed by her very extensive knowledge of every math book in her classroom. But more, we remem- ber her for her truly loving and caring attitude. (AT RIGHT): Mrs. Bordner had an extensive knowledge of current issues. Mrs. Bordner always lent a helping hand to her students. I )(

INMEMORIAM Alfred A. Ay res January 15, 1916— August 13, 1974 Mr. Ayres was once as much a part of our school as the building itself. He served as the high school principal and later as the assistant superintendent. We will remember Mr. Ayres for many things: his welcome back speeches; his attendance at every school event, whether it be dramatic, musical or athletic; and his friendly greetings to us in the hallways. One of his favorite philosophies was, To everyone there is a reason, and a time to every purpose under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1). He spent his time well, perhaps better than we shall ever know. As a principal, Mr. Ayres welcomed the students back to school every year. 6 FALL: Memorial

Martine Becomes A Bullets Fan Carrying a full load of subjects, Martine is always busy. Martine takes a cake break during Biology. September 18: Brandywine came under European influence this year, Belgian to be specific. Martine Vincent arrived at our school with a smile and a great accent. In her own words, she was scared yet happy at the same time. She soon discovered how wonderful our cafeteria lunches were, and how certain teachers act in class. A major difference between her native school and Brandywine, is that here the students and teachers may talk with each other as friends, and not maintain a certain distance between themselves. Of course, from time to time she has to bring out her dictionary, and have us explain the meanings of many words, but we think she does terrifically well, when she leaves in July, we will all lose a friend. (AT LEFT): During the journalism assembly, Martine performs her own dance interpretation.
