Naw, that ' s not it. Different? No, somethin ' that has more class. How ' bout equality? Now that sounds like it came from the Declaration of Independence. We got it— unique. That ' s what we can call our ' 76 Tracer— Something Unique. But what ' s so unique about the ' 76 Tracer Everything and everybody has special qualities all their own. They can ' t be duplicated. We have to do our own thing. We have to be ourselves. But we all need somebody, who needs, wants, shares with, cares for, and loves us. And these people, our friends, our classmates, make our friendships this year a unique experience. Like a tree, these friendships grow and grow. Some- thing unique is always blooming and it will never die. These unique experiences are not limited to the pages between these covers, they branch far beyond; they stem from our country, our community, our school to each one of us. Yes, the ' 76 Tracer is really unique ' cause we as individuals make it that way. So, pick up a ' 76 Tracer; page through it ' cause it is Something Unique. Introduction Hey, what ' s this? Is it a riot? Nope. Maybe it ' s a class meeting then. No. What does it look like? People. Exactly, they are people. We have paged to a very unique section in our ' 76 Tracer. We did? Yep, it contains some very important people. You mean people like Paul Revere, George Washington, and maybe even Betsy Ross. No, no. Well, then who ' s important? Us. We ' re important? Sure, and all of our friends here at Brandywine are too. We understand what you are trying to say; we don ' t have to be famous to be important. That ' s right. Just being ourselves makes each of us something unique Divider: People Divider; People Clay P. Angstadt Tina M. Angstadt Joseph W. Babilon Cynthia S. Bales Steven D. Barlet Linwood R. Bauer Donald C.

ZIEGLER, KENNETH E.; Kenny. 7 Ben Meek, caught in the act! 25 Senior Directory We, the class of 1976, would like to dedicate our Tracer to a man who has devoted his life to general science, chemistry and physics; and who was a homeroom teacher and class advisor for our junior class. In addition, he aided our soccer team recording statistics. His name will be remembered by all of us. We are privileged to announce our dedicatee, Mr. T. Fenner Lytie. Prior to his teaching career at Brandywine in 1972, Mr. Lytle had taught social studies at Kutztown High School for one year, social studies and science at Rosebud for another year, and science at Perkiomen Prep for a total of nineteen years. Mr. Lytle ' s high school education was obtained at Kutztown High School. He furthered his knowl- edge at Kutztown State College where he earned his Bachelor ' s degree in science. Later, he attended Lehigh University, his graduate school. During his teaching profession, Mr. Lytle earned extra credits at the University of Penn State and the Philadelphia NSF for Physics. Also, in addition to his job, Mr. Lytle had a unique hobby, unique in the sense that it is most unusual for a male to do this sort of thing. Mr. Lytle enjoyed gardening. Every spring he planted vegetables, and during the summer he catered to his rose garden. In earlier Tracers, Mr. Lytle explained that his favorite hobbies consisted of reading science journals, candlemaking and sleeping. On July 1, 1975 Mr. T. Fenner Lytle died of lung cancer. mr. lytle: a Mr. Lytle was always there when we needed him, even outside the classroom. I How many moles of oxygen are in one gram of Glycogen? whispers Mr. Lytle. Dedication— Memorial unique man and teacher This is a molecule, not a Tinker Toy, explains Mr. Lytle. After a tiring day, Mr. Lytle takes a break. 27 Dedication — Memorial par leaves us with a happy note Hullo there! I ' d like to introduce myself to you. My name is Par Ygge. I am your exchange student from Norrkoping, Sweden. On August twentieth, I arrive here in Topton. Then in September of 1975 I go to Brandywine school. I play the flute in the Brandy- wine Heights band. My favorite hobbies include sailing and canoeing. As a sport, I enjoy a game of handball. It has been an experience for me to be in this school. I learn much about you, the Pennsylvania Dutch people while you have made a meaningful relationship with me, your Swedish friend. When I go back to my country in July, I leave behind you, my American friends, but 1 can never forget all those times I have in Topton and especially at Brandywine.

They ' re Jo Ann Moyer and Tina Schaeffer, our 1976 junior miss candidates. And Jo Ann Moyer was chosen by the panel of judges to represent Brandywine in the Berks County Junior Miss Pageant held on October 4, at Schuylkill Valley High School. You should have seen her! What a Saturday night! The audience cheered their school representatives on. The twenty girls, under their sweet smiles, jittered with excietment. But the judges kept everything in order and by the guidance of the humorous master of ceremonies. Jack Gounder, disc jockey of WEEU, the show went on. The curtains opened and the air was filled with the Spirit of 76. The contestants paraded through the aisles, each one carrying an American flag. And then for the youth fitness competition, they bumped and boogied to some modern pop songs. Individually, they proceeded to perform their talents. Jo Ann displayed an acrobatic floor routine to the melody, Kind of Hush. The final stage of judging was the evening gown procession. Jo Ann was dressed like a real doll. She looked ravishing in her long yellow dotted-swiss halter dress, just ravishing. Stop dreaming and tell us who finally won. The Berks County Junior Miss for 1975-76 was Cynthia Miller of Schuylkill Valley. What did Jo Ann have to say about the whole pageant? She exclaimed that it was a good experi- ence and the best thing she got out of it was the friendship. JoAnn Moyer models her evening gown for the poise and appearance category.

In this office toils a man who has the authoritative power of the high school, the Mr. Big of the senior high, Mr. Daniel Corazzi. His responsibilities are so great and numerous that it would be impossible to mention them all, although his most important one would be to establish order in the high school which at times may include issuing demerits for stu- dent misdemeanors. He also aims to build meaning- ful relations between the teachers and the students. Mr. Corazzi operates under the authority of Mr. John Skinkus, who supervises three elementary, one middle and one high school. Mr. Skinkus does everything he can for the welfare of all the students and faculty to meet the needs and requirements of a good education. His office is located in the middle school. Students occasionally are confronted with such problems as scheduling conflicts, future plan op- portunities, or personal complications and they need help in solving them. These pupils can usually be found in room 100. For there hovers a man who can rid almost every one of these headaches, Mr. Robert Nash, our guidance counselor. He is always there when we need a helping hand. Secretary and Principal: Mrs. Mary Bollinger and Mr. Daniel Corrazzi. Superintendent: Mr. John Skijnkus. 54 Administration board finalizes three-year contracts On the second Monday of every month a group of nine men hold meetings that affect the way in which the entire school system is manipulated. These men are elected by the taxpayers in the school district to serve six years on the Brandywine school board. Many pressures were placed upon the board this year in contract negotiations. After ten years of devoted service on the school board, Mr. Fred Derr, Jr., retired. In honor of his faithful service, the board presented him with a plaque. In addition to the remaining school board members: Mr. Stanley Nolan was re-elected; Mr. Donald Buss and Mr. Ernest Geist were elected; and Mr. Timothy Romig was appointed to fill an unex- pired term. School Board: Mr. Charles Savidge, v. pres.; Mr. David Trout, treas.; Mr. Walter Hilbert; Mr. Stanley Nolan; Mr. Rodger Hen- drlckson, principal. School Board: Mr. Elmer Fox, )r., pres.; Mr. Henry Fegely, sec.

For instance, . . . Some teachers never grow up. A good example of this type of faculty member is social studies teach- er, Mr. Alan Sawyer. He spends many of his class periods and much of his free time challenging stu- dents to mind-baffling history games. . . . Some teachers tinker with their toys. Mr. Pius Dillion is fascinated with the construction of audio visual materials. He enjoys repairing and demon- strating how to use each piece of equipment efficiently. If you think I do a good Whistler ' s Mother, you ought to see Mona Lisa, says Mrs. Heilman amusingly. M - — ' ' Mr. Pius Dillon, head of the Audio- Visual Dept., tinkers with one of his tovs -i Mr. Sawyer explains the name of the game when it comes to social studies to Ms. Cynthia Reichard, Mr. Larry Youse, and Mr. Francis Bolez. 1980, I ' ll beHn-sltapia fort 56 Faculty Mrs. Wendy Musselman, librarian; Mrs. Patricia Seweryn, special ed.; Mrs. Beatrice Saul, ass. librarian pause to catalog their thoughts. for 18 days , . . Some teachers speak no evil. In fact, Mrs Chris- tine Heilman doesn ' t even see evil in her artists ' art projects! Miss Laurel Weidcle is mute also about her chorus ' s vocal talents. Mr. Phillip Forlano is deaf be- cause he can hear no evil from his musicians ' instruments. . . . Some teachers live dangerously. The new driver education teacher, Mr. Lynn Schaeffer, who replaced Mr. Ray Angstadt, likes to warn the people on the road that the student behind the wheel of this brand new Granada isn ' t too sure of what he ' s doing yet. But wouldn ' t it be frightening if he got so excited that he couldn ' t instruct the student driver, Michael Youse, where the brakes are to stop the car? FINE ARTS DEPT: Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. Mr. Philli ' - ' Forlano, Miss Laurel Weidele, Mrs, Christine FHeilman. m U I I hope there aren ' t any pigeons in this area! exclaims Mr. Wood DRIVER EDUCATION: First of all you need the keys, laughs Mr. Lynn Schaeffer. Mr. Forlano tickles the Ivories. ' 57 Faculty 1 only wanted the needle replaced! screams Miss Jan Mountz, Home Ec; to Mr. Brian New- man and Mr. Steven Spesak, Industrial Arts. Now, he looks a Frantz. says Mrs. teachers — all work and no play? . . . Some teachers are missing a couple of nuts and screws. This doesn ' t mean someone stole pecans from the home ec. room. No one ripped off screws from the shop. Sometimes these two departments ' actions lead us to believe Mr. Steven Spesak and Miss Jan Mountz might be going crazy. ... In addition, some teachers never learn. That most definitely points the finger at the math de- partment and in particular to Mr. Jerry Battenfield, the new nineth grade math teacher fresh out of East Stroudsburg College. . . . Some teachers are always fooling around. Just take a look at that business department; Mr. Walter Appold, Mrs. Carol Mertz, and Mr. David Herring. Something ' s fishy. They don ' t seem to get any business done. They ' re always found swing- ing around in those new swivel chairs that the typing room received this year. . . . Some teachers pretend to be registered nurses. In the health department, Mrs. Constance Kinder- man practices taking the pulse of her victim. Mrs. Lorraine Hafer checks its reflexes while Mr. Charles German examines the heart beat with his stethoscope. Mr. Holland doesn ' t wear a black belt just to keep his pants up! jg (AT RIGHT): MATH DEPT: Mrs. Jane Teed, Mr. r I Donal Holland, and Mr. Jerry Battenfield have all ' the answers.

Mr. Galen Wood and Mr. Charles Perich have to ex- amine the new chemistry and physics teacher, Mr. James Gaier, to make certain he is a fine specimen for the science department. And, why not? He ' s a graduate of Manchester College and is now study- ing for his Master ' s degree in education at Tem- ple Universtiy. . . . Others, we just will never understand — like those in the foreign language department. Herr Musselman converses to his students using his German dialect while Senorita Cynthia Cabel jab- bers in her fastest Spanish. There we are trying to translate word for word what they are saying to us. It was a whole new experience for Miss Gabel and her students when they flew to Mexico during our Easter vacation. There they learned to speak Span- ish fluently, got a taste of the Mexican culture, and viewed the beautiful sights. . . . Some teachers just hang around with their own kind. For instance, the English Dept. is always chumming around together while catching up on the latest additions to the mini courses. That ' s why the English students never get sick of hearing Mrs. Mary Ann Allmcndinger ' s jokes, nobody likes to fall asleep listening to Mr. Stephen Ditsky ' s lectures, no one has trouble passing Mrs. Sondra Yarrison ' s tests, and everyone just enjoys doing Miss Ellen Bronkema ' s class assignments. Well, with our sneaky camera crew, we caught them in action (?). English Department reaches new heights. ROW 1. Mrs. Mary Ann Almindinger. ROW 2. Mr. Stephen Ditsky, Ms. Ellen Bronkema.

We starving students stand in long lines each lunch period to buy the delicious food prepared especially for us by our school cooks.

Together, they are representative of many of our pastimes. We kids keep ourselves busy with activities we enjoy doing ' cause everyone knows homework can drive a person crazy. What ' s there to do for fun around here anyway? In the next few pages, we can be seen in action, doing our own thing. Some of us enjoy playing sports; some like making crafts; and some display their talents in music. But each one of us does what he enjoys most as an individual and so, our activities help in making each of us something unique — l B H E-rs? r ' fis ?r IS - i.. ■« .cv ' 7 : j--r ♦. v?ix; 64 Divider: Pastimes I I i - «i Vi student + Vi tradesman = 1 vo-techer No, it isn ' t a herd of buffalo stampeeding through the halls at 10:50.

The Vo-tech students only spend the morning half of the day at Brandywine, the afternoon sector is spent learning their trade, which may include anything from cosmotology to data processing. Vo- tech is the perfect opportunity to prepare any tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade student with the know- ledge to do well in the career of their choice. They can also participate in a co-op, a program which supplies the apprentices with some experience in their trades. It may even give them a job if their work has been done satisfactory.

Don ' t tell us there are flying saucers with flashing lights orbiting Earth. No, Flashes is the Brandywine newspaper publica- tion. Have you read it? After a lot of planning, the editorial staff designed a new newspaper style. The paper now appears steamlined in comparison with the previous edi- tions. After room 201, the journalists ' headquarters and the printing shop, the Bullet Flashes is ready for us to read. Meanwhile, in a far off corner of room 201, anoth- er literary publication has gotten underway. We have all been waiting since September for this one book. It ' s the only book we ' ll never have homework in and this one-and-only book is the ' 76 Tracer. With a lot of hard work, brain damage, sweat and tears, shortages, and dark circles around their eyes, the members of the yearbook staff have pulled through another year. Although this year was quite unique, never before had one staff run into so many head- aches. To begin with the teachers ' strike delayed their work and then came the big blow when the photographers ' camera broke down. That left the editors with little hope of ever completing the book, but as the staff heard it said, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. So with a few deadline revisions, the yearbook staff went on struggling to finish the Tracer. And here it is the completed product — the ' 76 Tracer.

A sense of freedom will replace the previous fears. A freedom of choice in select- ing which courses, which teacher, and which per- iods we want for each subject area. Three separate days are set aside for each grade to schedule its classes for the ' 76-77 school year. Six students are assigned to an advisor who is available for counciling at any time. Everyone must register and be accepted for each course in every subject area for all four quarters. This is where problems begin to arise. For by the time the sophomores go to sign up, many courses are already filled by the juniors and seniors, who had first choice. So the sophs are stuck with leftover courses or schedule conflicts. But with minor adjustments and more organization and com- prehension, the operation should run smoother this year.

They could sew their clothes on a sewing machine furnished in the home-ec room. In addition, they might even design a purse, belt, jewelry or other leather accessories to accent their garments offered through the new shop quarter course, leather. With other industrial arts courses such as welding and wood shop, it would be possible for these students to even construct and furnish a house. This year the home-ec class won ' t have to study child care from a book and practicing on a doll. Mrs. Kay Frantz is supplying them with the real thing, her newborn son. Mr Newman demonstrates how to operate a drill press.

The new English mini course, Mass Media arouses some ques- tion in their minds. For what crazy teacher would assign watching the Saturday morning cartoons as homework? Although anyone who had taken the media course knew, that it was not only quite inter- esting but also highly educational. For class study, they previewed movies, watched crime shows on the boob tube, and video taped commercials they Wrote. This year the English programs have cooperated with the history mini courses. For example. Sports Literature correlates with Sports in the American Society, and Ethnic Literature with Minority Group Problems. Contemporary covers add zing to the new mini-course Mass Media.

The class may be small, but German IV students have a big sense of humor. Spanish students visit mexico in spring This year is the first time Spanish IV has been of- fered. Now the advanced foreign language students can study four years of our nation ' s second most commonly spoken language. A foreign language is no longer required to graduate and for this reason the classes have been reduced sizably until the fourth level of Spanish or German has been reached. Also the degree of difficulty of the language in- creases and this may effect the sparsely filled class- rooms as advantage of having a smaller class, allows the students to progress at a more rapid rate. With a class of at the most five students, the advanced foreign language classes resume their study during the fifth period. Another first for the Spanish department was their trip planned to Mexico in April. They arrive in Mex- ico City on April 8 and depart on the fifteenth. During their stay, they tour museums and pyramids, climb the Sierra Madres to the village of Taxco, and catch some rays on the beach in Acapulco. Just because I took Spanish IV, doesn ' t mean I plan to get a summer job in the mushroom factory, blurts Nancy Shoemaker. (AT LEFT): German IV proves to be both interesting but challenging for Roxann Meyer and Sue Day. 75 Foreign Languages typists swivel while they work Along with the academic and vocational-technical curriculums, there is also another area open to the students which allows them to take such courses as shorthand, tying, accounting, and office practice. This is the business field. It prepares the students for not only secretarial work, but also jobs from key- punch operating to managing their own businesses. This year the typing room, a part of the business department, purchased some new office furniture. Now, to the IBM electric typewriters and the newly styled desks, another luxury has been added to com- fort the students as they assume the correct typing position. The typing students can swivel as they work in their new, revolving, padded chairs. Mrs. Mertz moves right along with her typing. At least I won ' t have to use my fingers and toes, laughs Debbie Moll. (AT RIGHT): think I ' ll let my secretary take care of this problem, concludes Larry Isamoyer. 76 Business master minds study advanced subject Mrs. Teed — the master mind behind the Anylitic Geometry and Calculus class. Who says the advanced math courses are all work and no play? When the classes get tired of working out problems, they used the excuse, There are not enough people here today to have class. Can we play Mastermind? Mastermind is a mind-bog- gling game that involves guessing by a process of ten eliminations what order the opponent has put the colored pegs in. The most progressive math course is taught by Mrs. Jane Teed. It only includes a class of six stu- dents, which is nice because they can accelerate at their own pace. The new course is divided into se- mesters with the study of anylitic geometry in the first half and a form of calculus the second. Mrs. Teed took college courses this summer to refresh her memory in the two subjects, and she continues learning right along with the class. Geometry tests sometimes boggle the brain (AT UFT): Terry German engrosses himself with the textbooks from the advanced math class. 77 Math students travel to allentown art museum Art students are finding out more each day about what art makes history, what art they can contribute to the present, and what art is in store for them in the future. In January, the art students tour the Allentown Art Museum to view famous works of art. With dreams of someday becoming another Da Vinci or Picasso, the art students continue work- ing on their masterpieces for Mrs. Christine Heil- man, their art critic. Later during the year. Brandy- wine alumni art students are speaking to the classes on their specialized fields of study in college. Sarah Henrich, Steve Frederick, Maureen Hess, and Sue Diehl ' s topics deal with art history, advertising and art education respectively. Paula Wilson practices the art of using a potter ' s wheel. JoAnn Meyer and Sandy Curtis study the geometric pattern of a soccer ball. Jeff Wiser adds the finishing touches to his work of art.

You just went through a stop sign! Oh no, we ' re almost out of gas! Every time Mr. Lynn Schaeffer, the new driving instructor steps into the driver training car, he takes a dan- gerous risk on his life. His job is not only to instruct the qualified six- teen year old students how to drive, but it also in- cludes teaching driver education to the sophomore class. Driver education is divided into two sections: a semester of daily theory and a six hour run. Speaking of chances and what would happen if one of the student drivers would make a hazard- ous mistake, we all know a new teacher that makes a lot of mistakes, spelling errors. He teaches fysics, kemistry, and fhysical scince. His name is Mr. James Gier really (Gaier). Everyday his science classes burst out in laughter, as Mr. Gaier mispells another word on the blackboard as he dictates his notes. In spite of his crazy spelling, Mr. Gaier ranks high in the students ' evaluation of a well rounded scientist, chemist, and physicist. Mr. Schaeffer doesn ' t let his motor idle outside of the car. In- door instruction is also very important. Come, Egor, time for lunch. Today we ' re having freshmen a la mode, ' snickers Mr. Caler.

Well, this is the only qualification necessary to be a part of the Varsity Club. With an amendment to the club ' s by- laws, approved last year. Varsity Club has now been opened up to the female jocks of the school, but the demand for equal rights is still a challenge for them. After a long argument, the senior girls in the club received Varsity Club jackets just like the boys got. Another step up for the female athletes was the equally divided office representatives.

A few BH business leaders might even be com- peting in the national convention in Washington, DC. Even with their busy schedule ahead, the FBLA still had time for socializing.

Remember the day we dressed backwards and walked to all our classes backwards? The committee even went as far as rotating the class schedules in reverse, instead of going to our first period class in the morning, we went to our fourth period first. It was utter chaos! The Student Council also sponsored the school ' s Halloween parade. The kids that wore costumes paraded around the school while the band played and the judges selected the winners of the mas- querade contest. The highlight of the council ' s ac- tivity was the appearance of Spiderman on his ram- page up the flagpole? The Explorer ' s Club has been in operation- for three years now.

VICA has many educational, vocational, recrea- tional and social activities scheduled throughout the year. The group assisted in work detail programs at Berkheim, and it collected canned goods for food baskets given to the poor people during the Christ- mas season.

After hours and hours of practice by the Brandy- wine high school marching band and band front, the only Halloween parade they performed at was held in Kutztown. Due to the teachers ' strike at the beginning of the school year, the band did not march in their own hometown Halloween parade. After they coped with this disappointment, the marching unit decided to give it ail they had for the remain- ing two parades. A week later, the Fleetwood Jay- cees informed the group that because of the lack of room and money, they had to break their con- tract with our band. Later on, after Halloween, Brandywine ' s concert band got underway.

This year, unlike previous years, the jazz band has decreased greatly in size and for this reason adopted a new title. They now call themselves the BH band ensemble. The rock group will compete in competi- tions—with maybe a surprise performance by Mr. Forlano and his soprano sax. The Berks County band auditions were held this year at Governor Mifflin on October 7, 1975. William Hess, a senior, was seated sixth in the first clarinet section. Later, he was placed in the third clarinet section, the third chair in Eastern District band which performed on Jan. 30 and 31, at Northampton Area H.S. And to top it all off. Bill was selected for the Region II band to perform at Pocono Mt. H.S. on March 19and 20. COUNTY, DISTRICT, REGIONAL BAND: Bill Hess— the next Benny Goodman!?!

What ' s he doing there? He isn ' t doing anything. Where ' s Charley; ' is the second all-school musical being performed on the BH stage. THis musical comedy is based on the play Charley ' s Aunt, written by Brandon Thomas. The setting is Oxford University, England, in the late 1800 ' s. In the play, Char- ley doubles as his aunt Donna Lucia D ' Alvadorez so that he can double date Amy along with Jack and his girl- friend. Except Charley has one problem, Amy must be chaperoned to be allowed to go out. Amy ' s uncle, Spettique, and Jack ' s father. Sir Francis, both fall in love with Charley ' s Aunt, who is really Charley. That ' s where all the hanky panky starts with Charley, Sir Francis and Spettique. The leading roles are played by Tom Haney and Nancy Shoemaker, costarring Craig Weidner and Cathy Cullin. The play is under the theatrical direction of Mrs. Sondra Yarrison and the vocal musical director. Miss Laurel Weidele.

The enthusiastic girls had a right to sing and cheer; not only did they tie last year ' s record, they also captured second place. The Bullets have a record of 6-1-3 in league competition. It seems that Fleetwood was the team to beat this year again for any divisional play-off hopes. And with this new system the girls thought they had a better chance. However, the Tigers played an ex- ceptional game and defeated the Bullets twice. One more blow came to the Bullets when they were de- feated on their home field by Kutztown 4-2. These were the only disappointments for the BH hockey tem. Other than these losses, the Bullets proved to be quite an impressive team.

All good things must come to an end, but in the case of the BH soccer team after a terrific season of 12 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties, their winning streak had only just begun. October 28, the Brandywine Bullets met the Tulpehocken Trojans for the county championship where they beat the Trojans 4-0. An outstanding performance was displayed by Bill Witwer who scored nineteen league goals to tie with Steve Slick of Kutztown. Together, they broke the stand- ing record of eighteen goals set by Barry Stebbins of Oley in 1972. He made the Berks County all-star team, along with Scott Ream, was chosen for the all-state team and all-Mid-Atlantic high school soccer team.

Now, instead of playing thirteen games as in previous years, the team has a total of sixteen basketball games in their season. The Bullets team switched on the lights to play Oley and Kutztown in night games in the Alfred Ayres gymnasium. This was another first for the girl ' s team, for never before had they played evening games on their home court.

Their improvement may be partially attrib- uted to the new coach, Mr. Sam Lovello, who was an excellent wrestler in high school and in college, in addition to coaching the Bullets, he is an elementary teacher in the Reading School District. Aside from the overall team record, seasoned vet- erans displayed outstanding individual performances: Darrel Herman with 13 wins (6 pins), 2 losses, and 1 draw; Joe Babilon with 14 wins (2 pins), and 2 losses; and George Cherrie with 14 wins (2 pins), and 2 losses. Freshman Jack Kraft with 10 wins (6 pins), and 3 losses surprised fans and team mates alike. These grapplers received very high scedings for the Berks County Class AA Sectionals. During the season, injuries, illnesses, and weight problems left open positions for varsity matches. Steve Delong wrestled for Mike Youse at 112 lbs.; and Chet Schappell, a 185 pounder, joined the team to replace Dean Herman. Other experienced jayvees substituted for overweight varsity members.

A blue ribbon is her reward when she wins a class in a horse show. Bobbi Millard en- joys swimming. A high honor for her is to receive a gold medal or to break a record.

It was a pleasure for the Topton citizens to announce their centennial cele- bration of the year, 1976. Since 1859 this small community has been known as Topton, although it was initially incorporated on February 12, 1876. Why did they pick the name Topton? That ' s an interesting question. Judge Stitzel and other authorities were inspecting the East Penn Railroad and giving the nearby communities official names. They decided on the name Topton for the simple reason it was the highest point between Allentown and Reading. Now let ' s take a look at the borough of Topton in cross sections. This is the resultant view of a hundred years of faithful service and dedication in the prosperous community of Topton.
