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.

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 )(

JR. MISS NOMINEES: K. Schaeffer. M. Millard, C. Ahrensfield. Mindy ' Vruises ' ' To First Runner -Up Octobers: Kim Schaeffer, Chris Ahrensfield and Mindy Millard were chosen as candidates for the position of Junior Miss of Brandywine. At Schuylkill Valley High School, a panel of judges selected Mindy as our representative. The pageant was held on October 5th with the theme Cruisin ' down the River. All the contestants were portrayed on a Minstrel show. Mindy partici- pated in the pageant wearing a knee bandage — the result of an injury suffered in a hockey game on September 26th. Her unique talent, a water ballet film accompanied by her live piano performance of Rhapsody in Blue, and her scholastic achievement gave her the position and honor of 1st runner-up for the county. What was Mindy ' s reaction? I was just so happy to be in the pageant, and I was surprised, because of my knee injury. I didn ' t even know if I could participate. M. Millard enthusiastically participates in the youth fitness routine. The 1973 Junior Miss presents M. Millard with her first runner-up award. FALL: Junior Miss
