Varsity Club Opens Its Doors To Girls October 11: The Womens ' Liberation movement influenced the decision of the Varsity Club to go co-ed. Before, only boys with a varsity letter could enter this club. Now, any girl with a varsity letter may join. This integration policy is reflected on the officers the club members have chosen. Tess Reinhard was elected as treasurer — the first girl to ever hold that position. Les Meek, Terry German and Troy Fair- child were elected to the positions of president, vice- president and secretary respectively. ROWl: R. Rhode, D. Hatch, D. Herman, L. Meek, J. Moyer. ROW 2: T.

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

Student Council Sponsors Free Dance October 12: The Explorers ' Club is now two years old. The membership has grown since last year, and although nationally sponsored by the Boy Scouts, includes girls too. The membership is composed of students planning careers in medicine and science. The club members listen to guest speakers, and discuss proj- ects and activities at the meetings. The Student Council sponsors dances, but does many other things too. Recently, they studied the bill on Student Rights and Responsibilities. They are investigating the possibilities of re-opening the stu- dent lounge and are helping the Topton Centennial committee with plans. ROW 1: G. Fields, D. Ruppert, H. Leib. ROW 2: V. Buss, T.
