However this year is unique as we commemorate the twenty-fifth edition of the Tracer. In addition, all of the school ' s teams, clubs, and activities are celebrating various other anniversaries. As we all know, an anniversary is one of those occasions where people may get together and celebrate in any style they please. Nevertheless, whatever the style of anniversary, the main purpose is similar; it is a time to reminisce about the past and an opportunity to examine where we find ourselves today. The 198! Tracer will try to give a thumbnail sketch of the past through anniversary reflections. It will also present a perspec- tive of this year, the Tracer ' s silver anniversary year. TSbiviQ 9lqo9 l (• 9 s Our multi-faceted educational institu- tion is for the benefit of people. It is com- posed of students, teachers, administra- tors, and other personnel-all joining col- lectively to make up the school life. As we enter this silver anniversary year, we encounter many familiar faces in the corridors. These are also numerous new personalities such as the freshmen class. In the faculty, we detect various anni- versaries being celebrated. Mrs. Suzanne Oswald and Mr. W. Dennis Krauss are commemorating their first year anniver- sary. Then again, Mr. Robert Nash has reappeared for his twenty-second year. Also, in the faculty, we find a number of BH alumni, that have returned to teach at their alma mater. They are Miss Kathy Fegley. Mr. Terry German, Mrs. Laurel Lantz. Mr. Brian Newman, Mrs. Suzanne Oswald, and Mr. Alan Sawyer. On the other hand, we have welcomed approximately twenty exchange students from organizations such as the Rotary Club, American Field Service, and Youth For Understanding. These students have arrived from countries as far away as Argentina, Australia, Finland, Germany, and Japan. These school denizens and a multitude of others are accountable for the anniver- saries we will discover in paging through this section. People Divider 5 Timothy J. Achey Daniel L. Adam Elisabeth K.

CU Of ' 81 33 Kim Wiser exhibits vivaciousness in snappy tap dancing routine Every year BH honors a candi- date as its delegate to the Berks County Junior Miss Pageant. This year ' s recipient was Kimberly L. Wiser. Kim, chosen from nominees Stay- cey Mullen. Wendy Rhode, and Don- na Steffy, appeared in the 1980 con- test held on October 4 at Schuylkill Valley High School. The theme of this year ' contest was the South Pacific. The candi- dates, dressed in sailor suits and shaking maracas executed a routine in the youth fitness competition. Kim performed a tap dance to Tm The Greatest Star from the Broadway hit musical and movie Funny Girl. This dance was Kim ' s original choreography. The evening concluded with the coronating of the 1980-81 Berks County Junior Miss, Kathleen Faust from Central Catholic High School. Kim commented thatthe pageant was a new and different exper- ience. She felt she probably benefit- ted from the experience more than she actually realized at this time. Kim puis ttie finishing touches on her Junior Miss routine to I ' m the Greatest Star. Junior Miss Nominees: Donna Steffy. Staycey Mullen. Kim Wiser, and Wendy Rhode. •--.ji .5 ■•.- r Kim Wiser. 1981 Junior Miss, displays her poise while modeling her mint green gown. 34 Junior Miss Taking a break from his busy schedule. Mr. B does what he does best, a little juggling routine. Mr. Battenfield works laboriously in arranging his lesson plans for the upcoming week, hoping the seniors won ' t be upset with the test he has scheduled. Class of ' 81 bestows acclamation upon a math pro and friend Mr. Battenfield examines the answer that has been displayed on the blackboard. In and around our social circles, we often encounter nonchalant, carefree individuals. These happy- go-lucky people are often very pop- ular, the center of attention, friends of seemingly everyone who knows them. They seem to transport laughter or happiness wherever they go. Such a person walks the hallowed halls of Brandywine High. Since re- ceiving his Bachelor of Science from East Stroudsburg State Col- lege, he has been at Brandywine for six years. He has made many friends during these six years on the path of education. He is seldom seen standing still. He can often be seen coaching the boys ' volleyball team, taking time out in class to explain a problem to a puzzled student, or engaging in his favorite sport which he has practi- cally mastered-juggling. He is also a freshmen class advisor; and oh, yes, he is a math teacher. Numerous stu- dents of his will probably remember the easygoing way Mr. B con- ducted his math classes. He will siso be remembered for the out-of-the- ordinary activities he participated in-such as entertaining enthusiastic crowds at talent shows and attend- ing professional wrestling matches. Therefore, it is with overwhelm- ing fondness and admiration that we the class of 1981 dedicate the 1981 Tracer to Mr. Jerry Battenfield. our teacher and good friend. Dedication 35 Kutz and Stoudt return as third-term officers Hi Presently, with two year ' s exper- ience behind them this year ' s ju- niors are preparing themselves in hopes of succeeding the seniors. Al- tiiough their studies have been their main concern, they still find time to take part In extra cirricular activi- ties. The class, assisted by Miss Gei- ger and Mr. Kenney, consists of 133 members. During the course of the year they intend to augment their treasury through a hoagie sale and novelty kit sale. These funds will help to finance the junior-senior prom, and the subsidizing of the yearbook. Leading the class are president, Leslie kutZ; vice president. Kelly Kunkle-. secretary.

Having learned from their miscues. they can now utilize their newly-acquired skills and talents while pondering what course they would like to steer in their lives. This year ' s sophomore class, with Mr. Youse and Ms. Reichard as advi- sors, comprises 150 students. At the helm of the class are president. Matt Hamilton-, vice president, Tom Lynamj and secretary-treasurer. El- len Carr. These young leaders face the challenge of guiding the class of 1983. A few of the activities on the itin- erary for the class of I9S3 include a candle sale in October to bolster their funds, and a Dorney Park Day in May.

Foreign trio experience PA Dutch culture and American life Over the years BH has enter- tained numerous exchange students from various parts of the world. This year we are hosting three girls. The first exchange student is Keiko Tokunaga, who is sponsored by Youth for Understanding. Keiko, who is eighteen years old, comes to us from her native land, Itami, Ja- pan. She has been studying English for six years and hopes to improve upon it during her stay in America. Rotary exchange student, Eliza- bet Ulrika Bjorkman is a native of Boras, Sweden. Elizabet likes to play basketball and is participating on our girls ' team. Elizabet has studied six years of mandatory English, four years of German, and one year of French. The final exchange student is six- teen years old Pirjo Kristina Aula. Pirjo, who is from Turka, Finland, is sponsored by Youth For Under- standing. She is expressing her musical interest by participating in our school chorus. Pirjo Aula finda American-school life very different from her Finnish gymnasium. Brandywine ' s exchange students: Keiko Tokunaga from Japan, Pirjo Aula from Finland; Keiko Tokunaga awaits her friend to escort her to Elizabet Bjorkman from Sweden. her first American dance. Elizabet Bjorkman finds the school hangout quite comfortable and warm during the winter months. 60 Exchange Students Sophomore class advisors: Mr. Larry Youse and Ms. Cynthia Reichard. Senior class advisors: Mrs. Carol Mertz. Mr. Charles Perich. and Mrs. Laurel Lantz. Junior class advisors: Mr. David Kenney and Miss Cathy Geiger. Freshmen class advisors: Miss Cynthia Gabel and Mr. Jerry Battenfield. Kenney and Youse join junior and sophomore class advisement staffs During the course of a school year, there are certain jobs which are often overlooked or over shad- owed by other administrative posts. The people who hold these jobs don ' t quite attain the recognition and reward they so richly deserve. Class advisors are prime examples of this. The work of advisors is of- ten taken for granted, yet these caring people often take time out to aid classes in financial success and scholastic achievement toward graduation. The duties of a class advisor are by no means menial. They encom- pass organizing fund raisers, aiding in the selection of class officers and the order of the class meetings themselves, and in the case of the senior class advisors, preparing the seniors in every way possible when commencement time arises. Advi- sors are paid insufficiently for the extra time they give, and the job of class advisor is on a volunteer basis. Class Advisors 61 Experienced veterans elevate students to a higher level of education Among the many faces we en- counter roaming our hallowed halls are those of the educators. As far as education is concerned these peo- ple are the most important of all, because without them we wouldn ' t acquire our much needed knowl- edge. In order to continue a quality edu- cation, a few alterations have been made. Two additions. Mrs. Kathleen Edelstein and Mr. Terry German, have joined this year ' s faculty. Mrs. Edelstein works with the deaf, while Mr. German teaches physics. Mr. William Link is teaching chemistry in place of Mr. Kim Slick who re- turned to college to pursue his mas- ters degree. Mr. Steven Schwoyer has replaced Mr. Douglas Bolasky as the band director. Additional chances have occure d within the faculty. Miss Nancy Haydt has overtaken the advisor- ship of the school newspaper. Meanwhile, Principal W. Dennis Krauss is now assuming the respon- sibility of the social studies class. Mrs. Mary A.

CYAI 68 Faculty Teacher aide vacancy is occupied as Susie Kutz joins stenographic staff Cafeteria secretary. Mrs. Goldie Geist. lis- tens intently to the latest joke being passed around the office. Every administrator needs assis- tance to maintain his files in perfect order. Occasionally, teachers re- quire services for little odds-and- ends jobs. In addition, there are many tasks like recording atten- dance that have to be accom- plished. These are areas that our secretaries and teachers ' aides oc- cupy. Leading this staff of six multita- lented ladies are secretaries, Mary Bollinger, Goldie Geist, and Pat Rohrbach. Mrs. Bollinger serves as the secretary to the principal. Mrs. Geist is the designate to the five district cafeterias, and Mrs. Rohr- bach is the student activities secre- tary. Executing somewhat unique as- signments are our teachers ' aides. They include newly acquired Susie Kutz, who replaced Elaine Knauss as a general teachers ' aid. The two others are Beatrice Saul, assisting the libra rian, and Nancy Steffy. who is secretary to the guidance coun- selor. Secretary to the Principal. Mrs. Mary Bollinger, listens carefully as Mr. Krauss gives her the endless number of assignments she is re- quired to complete before the days end. Mrs. Pat Rohrback, Student Activities Office Secretary, recog- nizes the next uneasy student, who is making his theird appear- ance is the last week and sends him into Mr. German to meet his fate. Assistant to Lebrarian. Mrs. Beutrice Saul, and Guidance Counselor Secretary. Mrs. Nancy Steffy. are amused by the new freshmen who have chosen Shakespeare to read for their first book report.

School board purchases Heilman Cottage for administrative annexation One of the duries of business manager Thom- as Dunn IS sitting in at school board meet- ings. Tending to the major judgments of our school ' s well- being is the supreme governing body, the school board. One of the more significant decisions ironed out this year was the acquisition of Heilman Cottage for the employment of additional office space. There have been no personnel variations in the last year and the entire officer team has reappeared for its second term as a whole. The board officers are president, Mr. Er- nest Geist; vice president. Mr. Don- ald Buss, treasurer. Mr. Stanley No- lan, secretary, Mr. Michael Meckj and recording secretary, Mrs. Jean Scholer. Rounding out the remaining mem- bership are Mr. Robert Fisher, Mr. Elmer Fox, Mrs. Margaret Gross- man, Mr. Joel Miller, and Mr. Francis Zettlemoyer. Thomas E.

School Board 71 Midday meal sees twelve percent rate hike due to continuing inflation The job of cook is. like the job of class advisor, another job which is essential yet overlooked. Cooks have been at Brandywine since day one. and without them, there would be many starving people in our school. With over 300 hungry stu- dents to feed, one can perceive why cooks have such an important place. This year ' s staff consists of head cook Lena DeLong. MyrI Kramer, Carrie Geist. Mary Neiss. June Boyer, and Dorothy Gambler. Their duties entail not only their culinary chores, but maintaining cleanliness in the kitchen and cafetaria, and the collection and arrangement of the daily lunch money. On top of those duties, consider the fact that the cooks have to put up with the same three groups of students ISO days a year. Gourmet cook Carrie Geist prepares another nutritious and appetizing platter for our rav- enously hungry students. High School Cafeteria Staff: Front Row: Carrie Geist. Mary Neiss, M rl kraii Oelong.

Their stomachs will soon be delighted by her delicious meal. 72 Personnel 4 Not fearing the Inclement weather, a courageous Scott Reinhard shows that he can truly laugh at the cold while he performs his outdoor janitorial duties on a frigid winter day. Bill Stamm shows his devoted fans whose number one as he prepares to begin his daily routine which will make our halls and classrooms sparkle for another school day. Institutional custodians cover structural decor with cardinal colors Probably the most unnoticed tal- ents in our school belongs to the custodians and maintenance men. These able-bodies people along with their brooms and tools, keep Brandywine on the go throughout the entire year. On hand during the day are Emory Meek, Scott Reinhard and William Stamm fully prepared to tackle any challenge set before them. At night the cleaning duties belong to Robert Angstadt, Albert Miller, and Diane Piigert. Returning to the staff is Joe Van- geri who was paralyzed from the waist down after a tragic auto- mobile accident last fall. Joe has been absent from the crew for near- ly half a year. Another valuable asset to this staff is the designated van driver Carl Stabler. His daily duties consist of transporting the vo-ag students, delivering the mail, and running var- ious errands. Albert Miller certainly doesn ' t mind putting off cleaning the lavatories for a little while to have his photograph taken. Al 1 r •• -J- .« .i,a • 74 AclJvitiet and Sportt-Div While refelcting on anniversaries, it seems apparent that without such inte- gral units as clubs or organizations, the word anniversary might never have ex- isted at all. Associations as the clubs at Brandywine give people an opportunity to perhaps fill emptiness or void in their life or career by taking time out to get in- volved with different activities and var- ious individuals. Numerous school-related activities are also observing their twenty-fifth anniver- sary. They include various prominent sports such as boys ' and girls ' basketball, soccer, field hockey, baseball, and soft- ball, and clubs such as Varsity Club, Stu- dent Council, journalism, and chorus. Other groups or sports which have been at Brandywine for a considerable dura- tion are the cheerleaders who have been here for 24 years, wrestling and honor society have been here for 21 years, and the band front which has lasted for 20 years. On the other hand, there are. of course, a few young clubs: county cho- rus members for 7 years, district chorus members for 5 years, and the fledgling radio club for I. Activities and Sports Divider 75 Coalition of Krauss and Sawyer advise Student Council The main objective of FBLA, which contains 43 members, is to prepare students for the business world.

At the helm of the 65-member BH marching band, celebrating its 21st anniversary this year, is Mr. Steven Schwoyer. The band participated in the Top- ton, Fleetwood, and Kutztown Hal- loween parades.

The 19-member Jazz Ensemble celebrating its lOth anniversary this year, concentrates on attaining showmanship in both the quality of the sound, and the particular style in which they deliver that sound. The name jazz ensemble can sometimes prove to be somewhat misleading. Jazz is not the only style of music played by this group. For example, selections played by the jazz ensemble this year have ranged from old standards to rag- time tunes and disco hits. The jazz ensemble successfully performed a number of tunes in the Christmas Concert, adding the touch of music which is a bit more popular with today ' s listening audi- ences. Director Steven Sehwoyer commented, We have a good time, but get a lot of work accomplished. BOTTOM: Findmg himself temporarily lost.

This year, under the guidance of new di- rector Mr. Steven Schwoyer a for- mer assistant band director at Kutz- town High School, the 35-member group has shown tremendous spirit and dedication during their daily practices. The combined number with the chorus entitled A Christmas Cele- bration. performed in the Christ- mas concert was a new experience for both the concert band and cho- rus. The delighted crowd rose to its feet in a standing ovation at the close of that number which ended the concert. The spring concert in April proved to be another crowd- pleasing experience. Unsure of whether or not she has played the correct note. Jan Sechler questions why the flute part to Broadway Sho w Stoppers is such a demanding part as she works her way through the piece. Alto saxist Alyssa Pegler ' s mind wanders as she dreams of playing in an ensemble at Carnegie Hall while playing Overture on a Minstrel Tune during a rehearsal. Proving that you don ' t have to be built like a truck to plav the tuba, Jim Meek proffers some deep, earth shaking tones. 9J Concert Band Bruce Latshaw and Bob Kemp, members of the blazing brass section, demonstrate their trombone-playing expertise as they execute perfect concentration while trying to attain as full a sound as possible. Concert Band 93 Bob Kemp comprises sole delegate to district chorus Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the chorus has certainly come a long way and has seen many changes since its inception in 1957 as a glee club consisting of 33 mem- bers. The size of the group has in- creased this year, now boasting up to ' ' I. The chorus worked tediously preparing themselves for the Christmas concert; and the nine numbers, including the combined number with the band, were a rous- ing success. This year, as in years past. BH students have earned spots in the Berks County chorus. Members se- lected this year included Kim Wiser, Soprano II; Mark Latshaw. Tenor II; Ray Curry. Bass I; John keiser. Bass II; Bruce Latshaw.

This group, celebrating only its third an- niversary this year, is composed of eight members who sing the four essential parts of any barbershop group-tenor, lead (which sings the melody), baritone, and bass. Singing in the barbershop style requires not only a good ear but good tonal memory. Also, the band members must possess the ability to blend voices while staying in key and keeping the tempo constant.

Sam Lovello and assistant coach Robert Van Syckle ' s 68-20-13 record has spoken for itself. This season ' s varsity wrestling squad, consisting of 20 grapplers has posted a 9-5-2 record with five matches remaining.

Barry Eck and Bill Hordendorf have already compiled amazing records of 15-2 and 16-1 respectively. Sopho- more John Cherrie established a new record for fastest pin by pin- ning his opponent in a mere ten sec- onds, and senior Barry Eck set a new team record for most pins with 13. Although we lost eight good wrestlers, this young team has a good shot at the county champion- ship, commented coach Lovello.

Greene and Reinert substitute on varsity squad This year ' s junior varsity girls ' basketball team has an unusually small squad consisting of only eight players. Despite their smallness in numbers, the girls have played well this season and are posting a 9-9 league record. In the beginning of the season, coach Kathy Fegely appointed Deb- bie Reinert with the leadership du- ties of captain. Throughout the sea- son, two players, Annette Greene and Debbie Reinert, have shared their playing time between the var- sity and junior varsity teams. As Annette Greene pummels to the floor in obvious pain, JV coach Miss Fegely rushes to her side, preparing quickly to attend to her knee because she fears only the worst for her player. 1 r Hamburg i Kutztown J P Kutztown a If Oley Oley f ' Mt.

' This is your life, Mr. Bullet ' ' premieres at BH Throughout the year the student body witnessed a variety of entertaining and educationally stimulating assemblies. One of the first was the annual journalism class assembly. This year ' s theme dealt with the life of our school mascot, Mr. Bullet, and the yearbook ' s silver anniversary. A number of movies were presented to us during the year. They were The Guns of Navaron , The Electric Horseman, and Smokeout. Also providing entertainment was the Army Band who played for us many of the latest hits. Trickshot specialist Wilfred Hetzel amused us for an hour with his amazing basketball shooting. Toward the end of the year Bell and Howell put on a production on careers of the future, and the Strange Bedfellows cast presented a short excerpt from the all-school production. On February 26, 1981, the annual Talent Show was held in the auditorium. There was a total of eight acts. Jim Meek captured first prize by playing the piano and harmonica at the same time to Billy Joel ' s hit Piano Man. Other winners included Pam Kroninger and James Tinsman.

Miss Reichard c ' question at a ti plaining a problem to A l no(jU Miy7ilL American athletes forgo summer Olympic competition After applying pressure on the Olympic Committee, President Carter finally won the battle to boy- cott the Summer Games in Moscow. The Olympic Committee voted by a two to one margin in favor of a boy- cott. President Carter proposed the boycott to protest the Soviety Un- ion ' s invasion of Afghanistan. Al- though many athletes and Olympic officials were upset at the idea of a boycott, Olympic Committee Presi- dent Robert Kane felt it was a moral- ly correct decision. A handful of other nations also chose to Support the boycott-in- cluding Britain, China, Saudi Arabia, Honduras, Paraguay, Kenya. Alba- ma, and Malawi. With the boycott in effect, Russia won most of the med- als. Former Beatle ' s demise evokes world mourning On Dec. S. I9S0, the world lost a brilliant musician and lyricist when John Lennon was murdered in New York City by a .25-year-old man by the name of Mark David Chapman, who was apparently a deranged Lennon fan. The shocking event had an astronomically worldwide effect, as millions of mourners kept vigil outside John Lennon ' s apartment and at various places in the United States and abroad: weeping, pray- ing, and singing along with tape-re- corded Beatles ' songs. John Lennon made quite a mark in music, a fact demonstrated by his phenomenal success with the Bea- tles and the success he enjoyed with his solo career. He and Paul McCartney still remain the most successful song-writing duo of all time, and the music he helped cre- ate will live in hearts forever. Held hostage for 444 days. 52 Americans were finally released from Iranian captivity onJanuary X). 1981. in a deal which sent eight billion dollars of frozen assets to Iran. U,S. hostage release sparks renewed spirit of national patriotism After their long ordeal in Iran the fifty-two American hostages were released on January X , 1981. Not knowing whether they would live from one day to the next, the men and women prevailed for 444 days in the hands of Iranian militants. President Jimmy Carter, In his last day of office, was able to leave a winner after completing a deal with Iran that sent eight billion dol- lars worth of frozen Iranian assets to Iran for our hostages. On the flight home, the hostages made a refueling stop in Algiers and a stop in Wiesbaden, West Ger- many, for a few days of doctoring and decompression. They were re- ported in sound physical health but many were suffering from depres- sion and other psychological ill- nesses. Kj AuihA ysf.ss mo- mi America hails the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as 40th President On January 10. 1981. after an over- whelming victory over Jimmy Carter in the November election, Ronald Reagan was Inaugurated as our nation ' s 40th president. Reagan who is 70 became the oldest man to ever assume the Presidency. In his Inaugural speech the new President proclaimed a can-do con- fidence concerning the solving of the country ' s economic problems. These problems eluded both Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and now leaves Reagan heir to the expecta- tions that they couldn ' t meet. Pro- gress may be slow, Reagan said, measured in inches and feet, not miles — but we will progress. The Inauguration took place at noon on the steps of the Capitol in Washington D.C. After his speech, Reagan marched to the White House. in one of the biggest scandals yet uncovered. accepting bribes from Arab Oilmen in turn seven government officials are accused of ' or political favors in the ABSCAM scandal. Seven east coast congressmen are indicted by FBI on bribery charges Posing as Arab businessmen seek- ing political favors. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have gath- ered evidence against members of Congress in a two-year bribery and corruption investigation. The investigation involved the meeting of undercover FBI agents and public officials that were se- cretly video-taped and recorded. Agents said they paid bribes of as much as $50,000. Among those under investigation were Sen. Harrison A. Williams. Jr., of New Jersey. Rep. Frank Thomp- son. Jr.. of N.J.. Reps. Michael O. Meyers. Raymond F. Lederer. and John Murtha. of Penna.; Rep. John W. Jenrette. Jr.. of South Carolinaj and Rep. Richard Kelly of Florida. RECOt T REGt AR 132 L£AD fH€l , 138 ' KM -- mJmm Motorists experienced an unexpected shock at the gas pumps in 1981 as the price of gaso- line soared to over $1.30 a gallon. Inflation takes latest toll on gas and gold prices One of the most substantial prob- lems facing the new Reagan admin- istration will be the inflation dilem- ma, especially the curbing of gaso- line prices. Due to the OPEC control of prices, gone are the days of the gallon of gas which cost motorists just over 50 cents. In 1980, some Americans wit- nessed something unexpected when odd- even gas rationing was instituted. The price of a gallon of gas then sky-rocketed to $1,35. At some stations across the country, gasoline was even selling for $1.70! Since the price of gasoline is set somewhat by the individual retailer, the consummer, can ' t be sure just how high or low gasoline prices will be in the future. Only time will tell. News 139 Topton Booster Club pays for installation of soccer field lights At a purchase price of $7,000, the newly-installed field lights loom over the soccer field in an awesome fashion. The school board pur- chased the lights approximately two years ago, and the booster club will pay for the installation. Being used largely for night soc- cer and field hockey games, the- lights may also be used by outside organizations and for other noctur- nal sporting events such as possible track meets under the lights. No sporting events have been planned for under the lights as of yet. but once in use, the field lights will give us the opportunity for many varied sporting events. Sporting events at night are now a possibility due to thie illumination by the new field lights. School board expenditure funds ' ' the castle ' on the hill When, in the course of human events, money is spent on our school system, it seems our high school is almost always overlooked. For whatever the reason, the high school contin- ues to be neglected by the school board and other adminis- trators. Funds are being distributed for the wrong reasons, and there ' s not a thing students can do about it. The purchasing of the Heilman Cottage is a prime example. The cottage, now known as the educational center, was bought for $167,500. The building, which provides much- needed office space, is well worth the money: but I believe the money would better serve the students ' needs by im- proving the school itself. The high school is in drastic need of general maintenance as well as renovation (especially the auditorium); but at the rate things are going, not only is maintenance overlooked but also that vital renovation may never take place. I am not trying to condemn the purchase of the castle. as it is jokingly referred to. What I am trying to say is thiS: if all that money is available to spend, why not spend it where it is needed the most, namely the high school? If people would stop saying no to expanding proposals (such as the one made several years ago), maybe we wouldn ' t feel quite so ashamed of our high school. Were this a state affair, we would write to our local congressman. However, all we can do here is sit back with a disgruntled look on our face and say, Oh well, i guess that ' s the way it has to be. Speed bumps were installed in the high school drive-for-safety measures but often proved to be more of a hindrance than a help. Speed bumps are mandated by state regulation As an extra precautionary measure, speed bumps were installed at various places on the school drive- way in the fall of 1980. The obvious reason for them is to cut down the possibilities of an accident occuring and to keep drivers alert. Shortly after the three speed bumps were in- stalled, one that sat on an upgrade was eliminated because it provided problems for icy conditions. Texas soap opera boosts CBS ratings Who shot J.R.? — the question one hundred sixty million viewers in fifty-seven countries asked them- selves after watching the final epi sode of television ' s Dallas last sea- son. Larry Hagman, star of the Texas soap opera, portrays J.R. Ewing, a nefarious oil tycoon intent on de- stroying anyone standing in his way. This dastardly personality is what induced an unknown gunman to pump two bullets into him on the final show of last season. Neverthe- less, he also contributed immensely to the first place ratings CBS has attainedthis past year. This climac- tic episode itself procured the title of highest rated and most widely watched program next only to the Super Bowl. During sixteen weeks of the new season Dallas has been ranked number one show thirteen times in twenty-seven million U.S. homes. Eventually, after six months of mounting viewer anxiety, the third episode of the new season disclosed Kristin Shepard, J.R. ' s blackmailed sister-in-law, portrayed by Mary Crosby, as the character who fired the two shots that were literally heard, and cheered, around the world. Phillies defeat Royals for world series title The Philadelphia Phillies fin- ished their miracle season with a World Series Championship over the Kansas City Royals in six games. After being picked to finish as low as fourth place in their division, the Phils captured first place by beating the Montreal Expos on the last weekend of the season. They then faced the Houston Astros in the playoffs. The Phils came from behind to win the last two games of the series and win the National League Pennant. Entering the World Series for the first time since 1950, the Phillies kept their magic going and they de- feated the Royals in six games. Mike Schmidt, the Phil ' s third base- man, was awarded the World Series MVP Award. City of brotherly love sends high flying eagles to super bowl XV The date was January II, 1981—21 years after the historic NFC title game, and the Eagles were finally involved in another conference title game. Dick Vermeil ' s squad was facing their old arch-nemesis, the Dallas Cowboys, dubbed as Ameri- ca ' s team. Veteran ' s stadium in Phildelphia was packed with 70,696 eager fans, fans who had waited 21 long years for their Eagles to show the NFL that they really could be winners. the men in the silver and green didn ' t let their loyal fans down. They defeated the Cowboys 20-7 in a game in which both the running game and the defense shone for the Eagles. The 21-year drought was over, the Eagles were NFC champi- ons, and ardent Eagles fans now looked ahead in anticipation to New Orleans and the Super Bowl. The Eagles didn ' t fare as well in New Orleans. January 25 in Super Bowl XV, the Eagles were defeated by the Oakland Raiders 27-10. But even though they failed to grasp the NFL crown, the Eagles were champs in their own way-, for they had gained something extremely impor- tant to them— respect. u 1 iMm ■ 10 ' C In their first World Series since 1950. the Phillies post a big win over the Royals. Vermeil ' s Eagles ended a drought of 31 years with an NFC championship win over the Cowboys.

We are en ticed, yes slowly lulled into the peaceful, lazy summer life, and concentrating on the remaining school work becomes a near im- possibility, a task which the lethargic high school students (particularly graduating seniors) would rather do without. However, even though we look forward to the summer with anticipation, we will never forget the novelty of this Silver Anniversary year and the many diversified e)?periences interwoven between the unique people we have encountered and the challenging ac- tivities we have participated in throughout the year. Reviewing and reflecting on the numerous anniversaries proved to be an in- teresting and enlightening experience. Everyone has been truly touched in their own unique way this year. Even though we stand poised on the threshold of the future, supported by our dreams and misgivings, we will not just tuck this year away in the dark recesses of our mind like a book on a dust- covered shelf. Engraved forever in our lives, this Silver Anniversary year will serve as both a precursor for the future and a re- minder of the not-too-distant past, a past which we will never grow too old to forget. Behind us lies our eventful Silver Anniversa- ry year, ahead of us lies the evident future, and the culmination of everything we envi- iTK ?w-i-r :.rrriiK 164 Conclusion With spring drawing near and the frigid, blustery winter behind we automatically be- gin thinking of the time when school will no longer be in session. But, before this ebul- lient time which will also include graduation for seniors, many students will choose to participate in this silver anniversary year ' s spring sport season and other school activi- ties. Among the activities that the numerous students will be involved in before the final day are the all-school production. Strange Bedfellows; the Honor Society banquet, the sports banquet, the prom, and the senior class trip. irM £2 } = .C - Supplement 16$ Strange bedfellows take audience to the hills of San Francisco This year marks the 61st anniver- sary of the 19th Amendment which finally gave women the right to vote. Strange Bedfellows, the eighth all-school production, turned back the clock to 1896 when wom- en ' s suffrage was just becoming a controversial issue in history. The play, directed by Mrs. Sondra Yarrison. also celebrating her eighth anniversary directing the all-school production, revolved around the at- tempts of Clarissa BIynn Cromwell, a hardcore suffragist who had a somewhat difficult time convincing her new spouse Matthew Cromwell and his family that her political con- victions could not be changed. The Cromwell family had other plans about women getting the vote; and the various methods of getting the upper hand in the male vs. female battle created an entertaining and comical atmosphere. Leading roles were portrayed by Kim Wiser. Clarissa BIynn Cromwell-, John Keiser. Matthew Cromwell-. Renata Roscher. Julia Tubbs Crom- well; Adam Hieter. Senator William Cromwell; Staycey Mullen. Addie Cromwell Hampton; and Bob Kemp, Gifford Hampton. Addle Addie Hampton (Staycey Mullen) is shocked by her daughter ' s horrendous bicy- cling outfit, better known as her bifurcated abominations. Tillie Sparker (Gena Bardo) attempts to impress the N.A.O.F.E.S.W. members by joining them in an after- noon tea party while they discuss their mutual cam- paign. 166 Play Senator William Cromwell (Adam Hieter) finds himself scuttled, sunk without a trace after Clarissa BIynn Cromwell (Kim Wiser) threatens him with an ultima- tum. Julia Cromwell (Renata Roscher) tries desparately to pacify her angered husband (Adam Hieter) who is again going into one of his endless tirades against sufferage for women. Clarissa (Kim Wiser) is troubled by the fact that she and her new husband. Congressman Matthew Crom- well (John Keiser) are still strangers to each other. Lillian Hampton (Stacey Seyler) is ebulliently illustrating the colorful banners that her suitor Vincent Pemberton (Jim Tinsman) is so adamant against carrying at the next day ' s suffrage rally. Play 167 Ann Lorish makes a last-minute costume adjustment for a concerned Mrs. Gimble (Robin Williams) as Sally Bond helps with the next costume change. Clarissa (Kim Wiser) and Julia (Renata Roscher) appear to be both amused and relieved now that Addie (Staycey Mullen) understands what is meant by the great big NOI Curtain breaks in mid-production, but cast and crew pull through Addie (Staycey Mullen) uses her feminine allure to capture the attention of her husband. Gifford (Bob Kemp), who is more interested in his newspaper than in her negligee. Mayor Tibbett (Bruce Latshaw) is in the midst of telling an elaborate fish story to the ladies as Ling (Matt Hamilton) scrupulously watches him reel in and slack off. Demonstrating his own personal hitting style which he feels will take him to the major league, catcher Kevin Reinert keeps both eyes glued to the ball as he awaits the delivery of the next pitch. 4 Wilson 3 Conrad Weiser : Oley 13 Kutztown 5 Tulpehocken 4 Mt.

Merkey clinches game with solitary home run The 1981 JV baseball squad was a 13 man team under the tutelage of third-year coach Barry Wasmer. The team was captained by sopho- more Chris Merkey and freshman Jeff Johnson, and boasted 12 letter winners. The team seemed to be the vic- tim of some bad luck, as six of the 13 games were decided by a single run. The team finished with a 2-11 re- cord, defeating Mount Penn and Tulpehocken. Even though we had a disappointing season, the team showed vast improvement over last year ' s squad, commented coach Wasmer.

Their toughest opponents in league play, Tulpehocken and Kutz- town, would require the girls to play flawless ball in order to register key victories. The team, in its 35th season, was under the guidance of coach Spesak and new assistant coach Miss Kathy Fegely. Elected as team captains were Cindy Arndt and Donna Long.

Softball 173 Team embraces historic hundredth win for BH Even though the boys ' tennis team finished with a 7-7 record, they exceeded what was expected of them. With only one starting member back from the previous season, the team had a very re- spectable season. During the sea- son, the team captured the lOOth win in history for BH boys ' tennis, and they continued the streak of 7 consecutive 500-or-better seasons for boys ' tennis. MVP and captain Troy Geist and Gehred Wetzel participated in the Districennis Tournament. The team boasted ten letter winners, three of which were freshmen. Also, five members finished the season with records of .500 or better. Many of the matches won during the season were won when the members were underdogs. Since the team will be losing only one member to graduation, senior Troy Geist, there is much reason to be optimis- tic about the team ' s future. i Raising his arm in a victory salute.

In efforts to rebuild a re- spectable and feared team in the league, they acquired the services of new coach. Mr. Keith Hawkins. Also helping the team are assistant coach, Mr. Sam Lovello; assistant running coach. Mr. Terry German: and assistant sprinting coach, Mr. Rich Knauss. The team began their short sea- son, which consisted of only six meets, with a loss to Schuylkill Val- ley. Despite losing the first meet, coach Hawkins was optimistic. He felt the team would improve as the season progressed and that the team should win at least one meet this year. Competing in scrimmages with other girls ' teams, the girls on the team also discovered the pressure and excitement of performing when it counts.

Just like a dream, the theme, was a phrase taken from the song Into The Night by Benny Mardones. Providing the musical entertainment was the group Presence.

This year has been no exception. In the past it has been a tradition to pre- serve this joy in one final gathering of the senior class. The gathering, known as the class trip, has given the seniors one last chance to be together and have a good time as a class. So on June I. the 1981 seniors boarded buses that dropped them off at the Tamiment resort in the Poconos. This marked the second straight year which the seniors of Brandywine chose to go to Tami- ment. There were many activities which the students took advantage of before being served a formal din- ner in the evening. Included were such activities as golfing, boating, swimming, tennis, horseback riding, and a game room. -..-.« .« MfiiX pc fim- -HBP ' Liz Bjorkman and Anita Lreb pass the time by rating the life-guards on a scale of one to ten as they pass by. 183 Class Trip convince girls to take a look at the inside of hi: Finding the game room an interesting place to visit.

Graduation 187 With the advent of yet another graduation, we are faced with the challenges of the future and the recollections of the past. Our reac- tions to our departure from this edi- fice of education vary greatly. Some of us will shed tears. Others will heave a sigh of relief or wear a or wear a contended grin — indifferent about departing. There are those of us who will jubilantly scream and shout as we leave our high school years behind and prepare to join the mainstream of summer festivities. The motto of this year ' s senior class is a quotation from Shake- speare ' s Hamlet, We know who we are, but know not what we may be. Even though Shakespeare fabricat- ed that line over 3CX) years ago, it could not possibly have more sig- nificance than it does to the stu- dent of today. We indeed know who we are — people who have struggled through years of studying and learning and are now ready to face whatever the future may bring. What we may be — that ' s quite a different story. Some of us will join the ranks of college students and become scholars once again. Some of us will entrench ourselves in a place of employment, and still oth- ers will merely attempt to make good lives for ourselves. One thing is certain; years from now, when we are sure what we may be, we ' ll consider in retrospect this special silver anniversary year and say, Oh yes, I remember it will . . .
