Were any portion to be removed, that molecule would be greatly altered. Likewise, the students, faculty, administration and personnel are essential portions of a school-the absence of one de- tracts from the others. No one com- ponent can be considered as a separate entity. The circles overlap and intertwine to produce the special working relationship essential in a school. Seniors are Connie M.

' •?« ) ' ««  Class of ' 78 lauds convivial chemist. Most of us cherish memories of that special teacher who made class enjoy- able, who was interested in us, in short - a teacher who cared. One teacher in particular will be long remembered. Who could forget the man who introduced us to the slide rule? With him we waded through the mysteries of the atoms, exploding experiments, and vectors. In physics, we traveled from here to the moon without ever leaving the room. Not only classroom memories will serve to endear him to us. The hockey team will remember him as a dedicated and loyal fan who attended many home games. He showed his spirit of parti- cipation by donning a costume to join in the annual high school Halloween parade. Some of us have heard a sample of his proficiency on the guitar, only one of seven instruments which he plays. In order to prepare for his career as a chemistry, physics and physical science teacher, he obtained a B.S. from Mansfield College. He earned his Masters from Temple, teaching while being taught. With gratitude and enduring friend- ship for his interest and understanding, we, the class of 1978, dedicate the ' 78 TRACER to Mr. James R. Gaier, our teacher and friend.

Enthralled as they are by the glamour and excitement, most little girls dream of spectacular beauty contests. Each year, twenty not-so-little girls get a taste of that excitement in the Berks County Junior Miss Pageant. Linda German, Susan Guldin and Bobbi Millard were chosen by their classmates as Brandy- wine ' s representatives. The trio were individually ques- tioned by a panel of judges who selected Bobbi as envoy to the pageant, held on October 1, 1977, at Schuylkill Valley High School. Following the pageant ' s theme. Summertime, Bobbi and the other girls performed routines set to The Hustle and Summertime. Display- ing her pianistic talent, Bobbi skillfully executed Warsaw Concerto. Finally, Susan Karpatti of Exeter was chosen as the 1977-78 Berks County Junior Miss. Bobbi remarked that the girls were more like friends than competitors. For her, it was a rewarding experience which added a touch of class to her senior year.

Hege enjoys a swim in the ocean and shopping in New York. Few high school students get the chance to spend a year in a foreign country. This year, one intrepid Norwegian named Hege Betina Robertsen left her home- town of Svolvaer and came to spend her senior year at Brandy- wine. At home, Hege lives with her parents and a younger sister. She also has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married. At first, she was homesick and encountered many difficult- ies. Her biggest difficulty was the language barrier. Another novelty for her was the school system. For example, in her school, lunch lasted nearly an hour and students were free to leave school. She had to adjust to the more rigid Brandywine system. But Hege soon began to enjoy one of her favorite pastimes-making new friends. Seventeen-year-old Hege, who likes to be called Tina by her new friends, has many other interests. A participant in many sports, she captured a place on the girls ' basketball team. She is also an avid shopper and finds our malls a novel experience. Since her arrival, Hege has visited a variety of places in- cluding Washington, D.C.; Stur- bridge Village, Massachusetts; New York City; and Ocean City, New Jersey. Hege said that her favorite experience thus far was swimming in the ocean at Ocean City. Hege reveals that Norwegian blondes have more fun ton. Exchange Student 33 While sitting in accounting class, Jeanette Leib is distracted by male voice: on their way to the library. jm. It looks like it ' s going to be fun, was the comment of one girl about her junior year. Indeed, this exuberant class cheered their way into first place at the year ' s open- ing pep rally. With a view to further en- joyment, the convivial group has scheduled a day at Dorney Park later in the year. Remarked another junior, More kids are getting involved. We ' re functioning more as a class. Working together, the indus- trious juniors garnered the most profits in the annual magazine sale. Further improv- ing their pecuniary affairs, juniors could be seen carrying suit-case-like novelty kits, prompting some students to inquire if they were running away. At the helm of this tireless class are Vickie VanBilliard as captain, Kay Ham- ilton as second in command, Debbie Solt as scribe and Cindy Guldin as treasurer. Help- ing to guide the sometimes unwieldy class of 150 is Mr. Alan Sawyer as faculty advisor. The members of the class of 1979 are looking forward to their senior year. They anxiously await the highlight of their last year-the class trip. ns Kay Hamilton looks for Puddy in the ' 74 TRAC- ER. Juniors 35 — J ., =]fef i ■s Hta., !

Leaving the role of novice behind, they are transformed into- sophomores! Sophomores have varying perceptions of their second year of high school. Most often heard is the statement, It ' s better than being a freshman. Having departed their fledgling state, sophomores feel that the class as a whole has gained increased respect. Other sophomores rejoice in the opportunit- ies which have unfolded for them at vo-tech. For the first time, they can grasp the future in their hands as they obtain the skills which lead to a life-long vocation. Heads of this journeyman class are Mike Grossman, president; Dave Cullin, vice presi- dent; Angle Gentile, secretary and Kelly Rohrbach, treasurer. Miss Reichard is faculty mentor.

Newly arrived from the middle school, fresh- men have many adjustments to make. They feel that, as high school students, more is expected of them than ever before. .Said one, You have to prove to yourself that you can do the job. Cited also is the increased freedom of the high school. Although they sometimes dislike their treat- ment as plebes, these novices enjoy making friends with the upperclassmen. Along the same lines, they praise the class system which allows them to become better acquainted with a variety of people within their own class. Leaders of this fledgling class are Wendy Rhodes, president; Donna .Steffy, vice-president; Donna Kehl, secretary; and Sue Script as comptroller of the currency.

Skinkiis exploits his rel- ereeing talent.s as he fills in for Mr. German. Mayer completes first year as BHHS principal. The 1977-78 school year was a year of great change in the administration of Brandywine. Mr. Robert L. Mayer as- sumed the post of high school principal as of August, 1977. Superintendent Dr. John Skinkus tendered his resignation at the January school board meeting to be effec- tive June 30, 1978. Mr. Mayer received his B.A. and his M.Ed from Penn State University. Before coming to Brandywine, he taught 7th grade social studies at Park Forest Jr. H.S. He has remained a strong supporter of the Nittany Lions. Dr. Skinkus, who recently received his doctorate from Temple University, has held three positions at Brandywine. He taught high school English for seven years. The following three years were spent as middle school principal and the next six as superintendent. Administration 65 School board augments credit requirements. On the second Monday of every month, a group of men meets in the middle school library to make earth- shaking decisions and decise mun- dane matters of policy. Led by Elmer F. Fox, president, these men affect the entire school district by their decisions. The identity of this group of men is probably obvious by now. This im- portant group is, of course, the school board. In addition to Mr. Fox, other offic- ials are David Trout, vice-president, Henry A. Fegely, secretary, and Ernest E. Geist, treasurer. William R. Forry serves as legal counsel. Equally crucial to the dunctioning of the board are members Donald P. Buss, Robert C. Fisher, Stanley J. Nolan, Michael Meek and Francis Zettlemoyer. During the 1977-78 school year, the board was faced with many diffi- cult decisions. A major problem was the proposed school renovation al- tered many times because of costs. Another board decision dealt with the credit system and the changing of requirements for graduation. Secretaries: Mrs. Mary Bi llinf;er. Mrs. Coldie (leist and Mr A monstrous pile of things to be typed, things typed, incoming mail, outgoing mail, letters, leaflets and ledgers pours into the high school office daily and must be dealt with. Three industrious ladies shoulder the bulk of this burden. Each has her own title and duties. Handling general business is Pat Rohr- bach as high school secretary. Mary Bol- linger is secretary to the Principal, and Goldie Geist serves as cafeteria secretary and cashier. Another varied but equally heavy load is borne by an additional three ladies. They are teacher ' s aides: Elaine Knauss, Beatrice Saul, and Nancy Steffy. Mrs. Knauss is a general teacher ' s aide and handles attendance records. Mrs. Saul assists the school librarian, and Mrs. Steffy is secretary to the guidance coun- selor. 4u i AM4 J Pat Rohrbach is I ' labheriiasted by the amount of must be done in a day ' s time. 1 ■ Aides have many uses Personnel 67 Culinary experts unite to make a better burger. Stop to consider what it would be like to get up early every school day to pack your lunch. Day after day you pack the same old bolo- gna sandwich and can of soda. It ' s not a very interesting or nutritious lunch, is it? But for a token fee, six cheerful cooks will make you a hot, nutritious meal every day of the school week. On a typical day, you might see Edna Behringer, June Boyer and Carrie Geist dishing up their concoctions, while Myrl Kramer and Dana Zwoyer restore the kitchen to its customary neatness. Their counterparts, the custo- dians are an equally indispensible part of the personnal force. By day, Thomas Hughes, Bernard Lackner and William Stamm ply their brooms, hammers and screw- drivers in an effort to keep the school running smoothly. Assist- ing every morning are student cus- todians Richard Sheetz and Donald Sicher. As the denizens of the day depart, the night custodians arrive for duty. The nocturnal staff consists of Robert Angstadt and Mark Bollinger. Student custodians are Donald Leiben- sperger and Karen Steffy. Student custodians supplement janitorial staff. gpiik Personnel 69 SOCIAL PURSUITS m Throughout his school years, a student is confronted with a vari- ety of decisions in the quest for individuality. There are many roads to follow and the student must choose the path which will be conducive to his personal happiness and success. Consequently, musically-inclined students participate in activities such as band or all-school musicals. Name s of the athletes can be found on various team rosters. Organiza- tions such as FBLA, Honor Society and VICA cater to the needs of special interest groups. Such variety assures that every citizen of the specialized commun- ity which is the school will have his own particular niche. Art murals illuminate middle school halls. In these days of rampant van- dalism, it is heartening to see stu- dents beautifying a school, instead of destroying it. A small group of Brandywine art students, under the supervision of Miss Jean Nay- dock, has accomplished this feat. Their murals now illuminate the middle school halls. The theme of these murals is the middle school curriculum. Each mural takes its subject cue from the classroom which it bor- ders. The murals can be found on the first flo or and are on both sides of the hall. Murals on the right side of the hall, starting at the ramp, include English, reading and German. The linguistics creation has a theme of Success through Jan Weiser ' s stomach p ip nut as she streli lies to paint her interpretation of science Darree Robin and Paula Taylor created this mural Ui describe the biulngical as well as the physical aspects of science.

Tracy Oaddams perfects A member of an earlier generation might receive a shock were he to view a Brandywine physical educa- tion class today. In response to a recently enacted state law, Uth and 12th grade gym classes have gone coed. Students emerge from their respective locker rooms and proceed to the gym activity the had pre- viously chosen. The idea of allowing students to choose preferred gym courses is another recent innovation, first put into effect last year. As each new quarter draws near, students in each class meet with Miss Fegley and Mr. German to select new activities. These may include basketball, hockey, tennis and a variety of indoor games such as handball or floor hockey. Two activ- ities are run simultaneously, with each teacher tak- ing a course. Coed gym classes were awkward at first, but when the students relaxed, everyone seemed to have fun. 71 CuriKulum ■iMMmmm— Curriculum 75 SENIOR VO-TECH: ROW 1: W. Zajac, E. Phillips, D. Youngers, N.

A variety of courses is offered, inciudinfj painting and decorating, cosmotoiogy and food preparation. Most course offerings begin in the sophomore year and last for a three-year period. Vo-tech students divide their school time between their home school and vo-tech school. Some students attend the West Center, located near the Tulpehocken School Dis- trict. The majority, however, attend the East Center, located near Oley. Selected seniors have an alternative to attending vo-tech classes. They may enter the community to gain work experiences during the school day. This program is known as Co-op. Admittance is determined by grade average and an aptitude test taken in the freshman year.

For the past few years, males have been a commonplace sight in the home- ec suite, learning how to cook and sew and be self-sufficient. Students of the fine art of homemaking spend one half-year in culinary pursuits and the other half as seamstresses (tailors?). Cooked items included veal par- mesan and many types of casse- roles. Future housekeepers were instructed in the preparation of cakes, cookies, jello and other desserts. Expert pizza makes have now been prepared to run Italian restaurants or pizza parlors. Sewers created many fashions to add to their wardrobes. Several males, leaning toward the out- doors, stitched ski vests. Girls, more fashion-minded, made gaucho sets complete with blazer and vest or made other items of their choice. Both juniors and seniors have the opportunity to take co-ed home economics. This class has proved to be a rewarding experi- ence for all involved. The males, especially, profit from this experi- ence, learning new crafts and using possibly undiscovered inner resources.

Who looks forward to the next issue of the FLASHES? Most of Brandywine ' s denizens do. And the arrival of the TRACER is one of the year ' s major events. But to the FLASHES and TRACER staffs, each completed item is more than a paper to read or a book to peruse. Much toil, sweat and aggravation go into every creation of the journalism class. The FLASHES staff scours the school for interesting and news- worthy articles. Each item must be written, typed, cut out and placed exactly. Proofreading is an im- portant part of the process, from the handwritten article to the finished product. The TRACER staff, dealing with an outside force - the publishing company, has extra headaches added in the form of regulations and deadlines. Instructions must be everywhere, everything must be labeled and clearly indentified. Both staffs have found that the joy of creation outweighs the frustrations. 80 Curriculum Mrs. Almendinger and Mr. Spesak, portrayed by Carol Carr and Mark Hafer, discuss their new hair styles during the journalism assembly. iM U rrv ai jif -i ' anf:- I ' l.

A complete understanding of a foreign language comes from more than a knowledge of nouns and verbs; one must be conversant with the customs assoc- iated with the particular language. One goal of any foreign language department is to convey these cus- toms to its students. Both the German and Spanish departments at Brandywine employ interesting techniques to achieve this goal. Spanish students made piiiatas in prepara- tion for the Christmas holidays, then donned blind- folds to swing at their elusive paper mache ' creations. Deutsche Schuler und Schulerinnen also celebrated Christmas by singing traditional German carols. And as in many years past, a handful of students will spend their Easter vacation in Germany. They will spend much of their time in the vicinity of Munich. 82 Curriculum M I liMM wmmm Curriculum Spirits get dampened in Topton Hallo- ween parade.

The band, under Mr. Phil- ip Forlano, opened their sea- son of public appearances at the Shamrock Halloween pa- rade on October 7. Their next appearance was at the Topton parade on Oct. 8. Al- though spirits were some- what dampened by the pour- ing rain, the band slogged dutifully to the parade ' s end. The group finished the pa- rade season with the Fleet- wood and the Kutztown pa- rades. Preparations then began for the Christmas Concert, held on Dec. 15.

Chorus meets twice a week under the direc- tion of Miss Laurel Weidele. Chorus, though a school organization, also serves the community. This past year, the vocalists brought a little Christmas joy to the residents of Cedarbrook, a rest home. On Dec. 15, chorus joined with the band to present the annual Christmas concert. The chorus had worked for months preparing a special cantata, God Man by Wyrt- zen. Included were many solos, duets and narrative pas- sages. With March came Music in Our Schools day. The chorus vocalized the theme with I Believe in Music by Mac Davis. May brought the annual spring concert, with everyone in semi-formal attire. Chorus took a nostalgia trip with Rock Around the Fifties , arranged by George Andrews. Several dedicated students were chosen to participate in Berks County Chorus. They were Roberta Weidele, Bobbi Millard and David Moll. Bobbi was also selected as an ac- companist. Roberta Weidele and David Moll went to Dis- trict 10 Chorus, and Roberta was chosen for Regional Chorus. m PKNOR.S AND BA.S.SKS: HOW 1: K. Curry. K. K.inkli.. A. Hielcr. H. Kinu. B. I-atshaw. T.

No, it ' s not a disease, it ' s a musical comedy! The comical western appeared at B.H.H.S. on April 14 and 15. The director was Mrs. Sondra Yarrison. Miss Laur- el Weidele and Mr. Philip Forlano were vocal and orchestral direc- tors, respectively. Tryouts were held and a cast chosen in January. Rehearsals were delayed by chronic snowy weather. The worst storm to hit the area in twenty years set pro- duction back by three days. GIRL CRAZY involves several love stories woven into an intri- cate plot. Zoli, a Hungarian piano player, is trying to win back the love of his ex-wife Kate, a night club singer. Kate, however, is in love with Johnny Churchill, a tele- vision star-turned-cowboy. John- ny loves Molly, the town postmis- tress. Add a few small time gam- blers, various cowpeople and other citizens of the town, and the stage is set for hilarity. Zoli is portrayed by Richard Sheetz, with Bobbi Millard as Kate. Bob Kemp rides into the scene as Johnny and Roberta Wei- dele portrays Molly. tiflfl ' « vf..:i,S- .M . ■■■ - VJi l.!

In the past year student council has sponored ski trips, dances and FunNites. Special events such as the Sno-Ball Dance, complete with a queen and her court, and the Spring Carnival added consid- erably to the school calendar. A minor upheaval was experi- ence when the student council bookstore was transferred to a storage room in the cafeteria. De- spite this move the inventory was increased to include calendars and snack foods. The council also gives monetary assistance to school functions. This year it helped sponsor the participation of two students in the Presidential Classroom in Washington, D. C. A new project is the selling of Bullet Cushions for use at sporting events. These cushions are on sale at the student council bookstore and at Brandywine games. Student Council sporisors two volleyball tournaments. Dum c: I a STUDENT COUNCIL: ROW I: D. Steffy. L. Heydl. I-.

Funds are used for the annual Honor Society Banquet and for the sponsoring of a scholarship. One project which requires time rather than money is the college panel discussion. At the invitation of the Honor Society, headed by Mr. Robert Nash, 1977 Brandy- wine graduates presented their views of college to interested jun- iors and seniors. Membership in Honor Society is limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors who combine high academic standing with partici- pation in school and community activities. The process begins with faculty nomination of a student who has fulfilled these require- ments. The process culminates with the induction ceremony at the annual banquet. HONOR SOCIRTY: ROW 1: .1.

It was a season in which rec- ords were broken. But it was also a season which ended in tremendous disappointment. Spurred by a positive atti- tude fostered in pre-season play, the team set a school record for goals scored in league games. Jimmy Bauer became the second highest scorer in school history and a member of the Berks County All-Star Team. The season ended with the Bullets defeated by Fleet- wood, unable to realize the section title. However, as the Berks County wild card team in District play, the team needed their spirit in the game against EIco, which was lost in overtime. Coach Kline was proud of his players despite the loss. He felt that they didn ' t quit and thus proved they could meet the ch allenge. Dave Walk is omfident that he could burn Twin Valley ' s Carl Sims if he ci uld nlv have his leg back.

These are dedi- cated hockey players, who have heen waiting and hoping for a successful season. The 1977-78 season was a victorious one for the varsity team, undefeated in league play. They finished the season 11-0-0. Coach Quigley, varsity coach, was enthusiastic about the team ' s resiliancy in tough games. She cited the Daniel Boone game, won by Brandy- wine 1-0, as a highlight of the season. The game was tied at 0-0 with less than three minutes left to play, when Debbie Long scored the winning goal. In post season play, the Bullets were defeated by Twin Valley in the Eastern Division play-offs, but went on to vanquish Dallastown in District play. About the Dallastown game.

The season ended with Mt. Penn twice de- feated by the Bullets. The apexes were an unex- pected 4-3 win over Hamburg and a 3-3 tie with Twin Valley in non-league play.

Cheerleading is the one sport whose season never ends. Soccer, basketball and wrestling keep cheerleaders moving until tryouts begin in spring. Practice is extended throughout the summer. Also the one sport which works for the others, cheerleading provides encouragement by means of spirited cheers, welcome signs and surprise par- ties. For example, the basketball cheerleaders raided their team ' s last practice and threw a party in their honor. The unbiquitous girls found time for other cheer-related activities. They entered -various competitions, one of which is detailed in a later section of the book. They also carried out fund- raising activities such as donut sales. Cheerleading is not one single squad; rather, there is a squad for each of the aforementioned sports. Ms. Cynthia Reichard serves as advisor for each of the squads. 116 Cheerleaders J.V.

SOCIAL SPHERES In the same way that a stone can affect a pond hy causing it to ripple, a school can affect a community. The school provides entertainment through activities. Through adult education, the community henefits directly from its-center of knowledge. Conversely, the school is affected by the community, and hy the country and world. The relationship becomes distinctive when the school and community cooperate to produce the best educational atmosphere in the school and the best citizens of today ' s world. Brandywine ' s denizens have accomplished many praise- worthy actions which are de- tailed in Student Life. These actions range from superior sports performances to aca- demic excellence to the pur- suit of part-time jobs. Sometimes it is a group which merits special recognition; for example, the cheerleading squad which proved itself to be Berks County ' s best. Other times, individuals are singled out for praise. Members of such varied organizations as FBLA and FFA garnered praise for themselves and their school. These activities will be ex- amined in Student Life. Bullet land cheer sparks county champs. Tears running down their cheeks, the varsity cheer- leading squad accepted their trophy as Berks County champs. The girls defeated ten other squads to take first place at the Berks County Cheer- leading Competition. Wilson High School was host to the competition, held on March 18. Daniel Boone and Conrad Weiser placed second and third respectively. Preparation for the compe- tition consisted of strenuous practices five days a week. These practices extended over a three week period, during which sessions were videotaped. The cheerleaders viewed these tapes as a method of correcting their mistakes. The squad had to be con- cerned with many areas of their performance. Criteria for judg- ing were general appearance, cheer content, arm motions, hand motions, jumps, freezes, gymnastics and mount. i k BlBIBBBiaDBSaBBmi Conscience of onlooking judges, Jill Schaeffer gives it all she has. i i 126 .Student Life Latshaw gets FFA award. Who ' s the Star Greenhand of the Kutztown FFA? Brandy- wine ' s own Bruce Latshaw captured the award with the highest academic average. He was pronounced the most in- volved memher of the 14 greenhands. Bruce, who also won a county FFA speaking contest, is specializing in pro- duction agriculture. FBLA took honors at the Spring Regional. Sandy Schlei- cher and Tammy Hilbert placed in Accounting I, tak- ing second and third, respec- tively. Further competition was slated for April 30, May 1, 2 at Host F ' arms, Lancaster. Student Life 1: 7 Money proves to be a mighty motivation.

At some time in their high school career, most students find it ex- pedient to become employed. A variety of weekend and afternoon jobs is available to Brandywine students. The Topton Lutheran Home is a major source of employment. Stu- dents work as nurses ' aides, kitchen aides and custodians. Other usual employments include store cashier or stockboy; garage mechanic; gas station attendant; waitress waiter; busboy; or kitchen person in a fast food place. Some work at their parents ' busine.sses or farms. Others hold such unusual jobs as the drummer of a rock group or a ready ear in a telephone answering service. One program designed to aid working students is known as co-op. This permits employed seniors to leave early for their jobs.

The four are Bob- bi Millard, swimming; Erin McCarty, horseback riding; and George Cherrie and Butch Kauffman, wrestling. Erin has been riding for nine years. During the last four, she has taken part in many out-of-state competitions. In 1977, she placed first in six events. She has set her sights for the 1980 Olympics in Mos- cow. Bobbi has been swimming in competitions for eleven years. During 1977-78, she placed 4th and 5th in P.I. A. A. district meets, and garnered two 13th places in state competition. She received honorable men- tion on the All-State swim team. Butch ended his 1977-78 wrestling season at Brandywine with an overall record of 16-1- 0. He placed 3rd in sectional competition, and was a Dis- trict III runner-up. Butch also qualified for states. He took first in the Oley Valley, Christ- mas, and Tri-Valley Tourna- ments. Brandywine ' s top wrestler was George Cherrie, who fin- ished the season with a 17-0-0 record. He led the team in pins with nine overall and had one of the fastest pins at 45 seconds. George has distinguished him- self in many out-of-school meets, both in this the 1977-78 season and preceeding seasons. Biliii ia Bl i M - ,, I 130 Student Life European excursions give students a touch of the classic. A number of Kraiidywiiie students l)roadened their horizons with week-h)ng excursions during the 1977-78 school year. Sixteen students, under the intrepid Mrs. Allmendinger and Miss Mountz spent their weelc in London area. Germany was host to six students traveHng with Mr. Mussel- man. Three students traveled to Washington to get an indepth view of the federal government. Students traveling to England were Sandra Bieber, Colleen Buss, Iris Cotto, Darla Day, Joy Fisk, Bill Funk, Delores Grizzle, Becky Kraft, Doug Long, Leann Moyer, Eileen Phillips, Darree Robin, Debra Schaeffer, Donna Schlegel, Linda Sicher, and Debra Solt. Highlights of their trip were the viewing of several Shake- spearian plays at Stratford-on-Avon. Travelers to Deutschland were Judy Angstadt, Brian Brum- bach, Leon Heydt, HoUi Himmelberger, David Moll, and Richard Sheetz. They spent much of their time exploring Munich. The purpose of the Washington trip was to attend A Presidential Classroom for Young Americans. The program is open to high school juniors and seniors from the United States and its territories. Betsy Strachan participated January 28 to February 4. School-sponsored students, Lori Angstadt and Ellen Bleiler fol- lowed two weeks later. (.KKMANV: HOW I: K. .Shfclz. KOW i; H. Himmel herser. .1.

Kelsy .-Mracnan. i a and Randy Hoffmaster morn for the life of the motionless Dr. C Another school year has come and gone — a monumental one for the Class of 1978. It passed so quickly for us, we who are embarking on the rest of our lives. We are joyous now with the anticipation of graduation and new experiences. Present also is the sobering knowledge of the coming parting from teachers, and friends it challenges us to make the utmost of relationships. We will often review this year in memory — often laugh at some new- remembered event or be- come silent, remembering a cherished friend. Perhaps, in the years to come, we will bring forth our TRACERS from the musty recesses of the attic. And as we flip through the pages, the best of our memories will come flooding back and we will once more relive that which gave our senior year a touch of class. l ' n!i . ' a ' j?jj ' .«iaa«. usiuaiuMivuM m i «™ « 1 SUBLETS True appreciation is that which comes from the heart and cannot be concealed. It is a sort of thank-you to oth- ers for the giving of them- selves. It may erupt in the form of a cheer of an athletic event. It may be the induc- tion of those worthy into a society which recognizes achievement. Or it may be something as simple as a smile of friendship. Let us learn from the les- sons in appreciation which 1977-78 has offered us. Some came at too high a cost to be disregarded. These are marked indelibly in our hearts and minds. A small sampling has been placed in the ' 78 TRACER. Knauss, Buss chosen track, field M.V.P. ' s. If the enthusiam and skill of the team contin- ues and improves, we should produce winning teams, postulated Coach Charlie Perich as he mused on the future of the track team. The 1977- 78 team, replete with eager novices, spent most of their practice time swatched in gray sweatsuits, dodging raindrops. Coach Perich soggily lament- ed the dismal weather which caused a reduction in the amount of practice sessions. For the benefit of the uninitiated, track and field includes such events as the long junp, 440 yard relay run, pole vault, and discus throw. The most valuable track player was Rich Knauss, who set a new record for the 120 high hurdles. His time was 16.4 seconds, breaking Craig DeLong ' s 1975 record of 16.9 seconds. Glen Buss was the track MVP, competing in the pole vault and the high jump. f ' _ . rr I ' t ' ' w- 4ir IRACK KIKKl): ROW I: K. ( ' ..llom. T. C.uldin. R. Sheet .. B. Herman. I.. Heydt. J. Hciflman.

Indivi- dual records were also excel- lent, with the top six players each accumulating over a .500 average. Number one player Jack Repash reached the apex of Bullet tennis with a four- year record of 47-12 in dual matches. Jack was voted unani- mously to the county all-star ■■ team, and brother Steve re- ceived honorable mention. Coach Burkhardt cited some unusual incidents concurrent with the season ' s normal events. The most humorous narrative concerned a player who was remiss in returning his uniform. After days of pub- lic harrassment, it was handed in. This, perhaps coincidental - ly, preceded the temporary re- moval of the net from the ele- mentary court. if Dennis Haa points in tennis. tit 4 Non-league sport continues to bounce. Out of all the scholastic sports in Berks County, vol- leyball is perhaps the least noticed. Brandywine is one of only three county schools which features volleyball as an interscholastic sport. In this their second year, the girls ' and boys ' teams scrim- maged against Wilson and Twin Valley. In addition, the boys played in the Cen- tral York Invitational on April 8, in which they defeat- ed Wilson. Both teams par- ticipated in the District 3 Championships on April 15, but were eliminated. The teams practiced three nights a week from 7:00 to 9:00. The boys ' team was captained by Jim Bauer and coached by Mr. Jerry Battenfield. Miss Kathy Fegley served as girls ' coach. The general consensus that the teams played well considering their inexperi- ence and scheduling con- flicts. It is hoped that in the future a league will be formed in Berks County. Un- til that time, volleyball will remain a non -varsity sport. : - - iHiH itaif P J k J C.IRLS- VOLLEYBALL: ROW 1: D. Long, L. Sicher, -J. Sanders Long. ROW 2: Coach Fegely, -J. Nolan, D. Carl, K.

Seven girls batted over .300 and the team ' s av- erage was .314. Coach Steven Spesak also cited the victory over Twin Valley, former state champs, as another high point of the season. Socah Spesak, recalling the team ' s three season los- ses, two to Tulpehocken, felt that the girls had the poten- tial to win, but choked in the clutch. The final blow came when the Bullets were de- feated by Tulpehocken in sectional playoffs. Three starters, Carol Carr, Lisa DeLong, and Linda Sicher will not return next year. However, the basic team consisted of freshmen and sophomores, so Coach Spesak forsees good teams for at least the next two years. Due to a vacancy, Mr. Spesak was promoted to head softball coach. Mr. Barry Wasmer assumed the position of assistant coach. SOFTBALL: ROW I: D. I .nR, D. Haas. N. Smith. L. Sicher. .1. l.ieb. D. Kavhart. L. Del.ons;. T. Krat- zer, E. Carr. ROW 2: C.ach Spesal . D.

We could have had a bet- ter season than in the last three years had we won the four games we lost by one run, commented Coach Harry Kline. The losses themselves were disappoint- ing but Coach Kline also la- mented the fact that the Bul- lets originally led all four games. Of enjoyment to Coach Kline was the general im- provement of the boys as the season progressed. He en- joyed working with them and seeing their enthusiasm. Although the varsity base- ball team will lose several players to graduation, a solid nucleus of boys remains. These, Coach Kline feels, will be able to compile a win- ning record next year. An as- set also is the J.V. program which produces experienced teams for future years.

Steve Weidner Carr collects commendation On May 13, 1978, Brandywine athletes and coaches were honored at the annual sports banquet sponsored by the B.H. Booster Club. The affair was opened with an invocation delivered by Scott Fox, varsity club president. The ensuing dinner featured roast beef as the entree, along with vari- ous savory accompaniments. Following the meal came the presentation of the various awards and trophies. One trophy is awarded in each sport, based on the decision of the coach. The ath- letes also have a voice in honoring all-around athletes, as they select Players ' Player and Coach of the Year awards. Second, third, and fourth year varsity awards were also presented — pin, plaque, and jacket, respectively. Two special awards were also presented — the Glenn Reifinger Memorial Tro- phy, and the Jeff Kline Memorial. A speech by Robert VanSyckle ended the evening. 174 Sports Banquet Visual effects aid piquancy.

The new mem- bers were being feted at the an- nual Honor Society Banquet held on May 1 1, in the high school cafe- teria. A welcome by Mr. Robert May- er, principal, followed the buffet- style dinner. Next, the traditional student speeches were delivered. Scott Fox spoke on character, Linda German spoke on service, Sue Guldin explained leadership and Richard Sheetz expounded on scholarship. The speeches were ac- companied by slides of Brandywine students, a new twist for this year ' s banquet. Another important part of the ceremonies is the induction of the honorary member. This individual is selected by the members of the Honor Society. Inducted this year was Mr. James Gaier, introduced by Mr. Jerry Battenfield. im:!(,(m wi .fm: }M 1978 marks first crowning of prom queen.

As the weeks crept toward May 12, this year proved to be no exception. On that day, 60 gaily dressed couples and their chaperones converged on the Abraham Lincoln Motor Lodge in downtown Reading. Participants in that long-await- ed event arrived bedecked in tux- edos and evening gowns at 7:00 p.m. that evening. Picture taking by a professional photographer preceeded the meal. Diners had previously selected either stuffed pork chops or a seafood platter. Next came dancing to the music of Emotions. During the dance, the chaperones were busying themselves with the selection of a prom queen. This was the first year in which a queen was crowned. The honor went to Bon- nie Derr, who was presented with a bouquet of red roses. In keeping with the theme, We May Never Pass This Way Again, each person was present- ed with a souvenir white garter.

Wednesday, June 14, marked the event seniors had anticipated throughout their long, last year - the class trip! 101 seniors and six advisors climbed aboard three busses and headed for Mt. Airy Resort in the Poconos. Upon their arrival, a wealth of activities greeted their eager eyes. Pool, air hockey, swimming, horseback rid- ing, golfing, paddle-boating- all were quickly besieged by the ad- venturous seniors. Many non- equestrians rushed to reserve a place on the riding trail. The cool weather soon drove the majority of the adventurers into the game room and the indoor pool. At noontime, the picnic grove was packed with seniors from three school plus a senior citizens ' group. Dinner was a much more elegant affair. A four-course sit- down meal was served to the for- mally dressed seniors. After a quick changeover into more confortable dancing clothes, the seniors were prepared to get down. Dancing lasted from 8 to 11 p.m. Although disappointed by the arrival of the busses, the tired but happy seniors agreed that it was a most worthwhile trip.

The two An invocation by Rev. Arthur L. Hahn, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Topton, opened the baccalau- reate service. The congregation, led by Pastor Hahn, next read responsively from Psalm 46. As a musical treat, sen- iors Laura Hinterleiter and Sue Guldin accompanied themselves on piano and guitar to a medley of Christian songs. Richard Sheetz then read the first les- son, Job 1:1-5. Following, all joined in singing Do You Know That You ' re A Person? The sermon, taken from the book of Job, was presented by Rev. J.R. Hen- rich of St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church, Mertztown, and Pastor Hahn. Four seniors, portraying Job and his three friends, also participated. Also included in the service was a presentation by the high school chorus. At the conclusion of the service, the seniors formed a circle to the music of Pass It On.

The seniors stood poised at the top of the bleachers, gowns flap- ping in the breeze. As the first strains of Fanfare and Proces- sional filtered upward, hats were straightened one final time before the lines began to move. The levity of the last few days seemed to have been exchanged for a quiet solm- nity as the Class of ' 78, now in po- sition, remained standing for the invocation and National Anthem. Richard Sheetz, salutatorian, and Bobbi Millard, valedictorian, opened the didactic portion of the exercises witn provocauve speeches on the school district ' s educational priorities. The com- mencement address was delivered by Dr. Gilbert McKlveen, who challenged the seniors with his theme of Where Do You Think You ' re Going? Foreign exchange student Hege Robertsen spoke of friendships at Brandywine. ending with some Norwegian well-wishes. Suppressed jubilation filled the air as Mr. Robert Mayer, prin- cipal, presented the Class of ' 78 and began the presentation of di- plomas.
