PeOPLG his year was a year full of changes-reconstruction of the roof, new lighting, new addition to the staff, and the fur- loughing of others. Three teach- ers-Mrs. Kay Frantz, Mr. David Kenney, and Mr. Barry Wasmer- were no longer teaching at Brandywine, while Coral Lee Watson became the librarian and Mr. Charles Burkhardt, former middle school guidance counselor, replaced Mr. Robert Nash who re- tired after twenty-four years of counseling. Mr. Daniel Fairchild was hired as a physics and phys- ical science teacher, and Miss Kristin Bauman became the hear- ing impaired teacher. Further- more, Miss Janice Mountz and Mrs. Sondra Yarrison had re- turned from their year-long sab- baticals. Among the non-instruc- tional staff, Myrl Kramer had re- tired as cook and was replaced by Barbara Freeby. Mr. Robert Ang- stadt, night custodian, had also re- tired and Mr. Richard Voortman replaced him. During the school year, all of the people involved, no matter what the function, adjusted and matured with the changes that ac- curred, just as the caterpillars had gone through the seasons of change and had become a creature of beauty. 4 People Divider

Introduction n ust as a butterfly has a very ordinary start as an egg and through metamorphosis becomes a crea- ture of beauty, all life changes-even our school life. Entering high school marks the beginning of these changes from freshmen to seniors. The startpoint is the egg, protected yet unaware of its new surroundings as are the freshmen. The sophomores reflect the larvae stage as they continue their growth and development for the fu- ture. The pupa stage represents the juniors who are fully adapted to the area but still sheltered and not quite ready to experience events for themselves. Seniors are the but- terflies carefully stretching their wings and preparing for their first flight into the world. In the same way people and animals change, places and programs are modified. For example, this year the roof was reconstructed, and new ceilings and lights were added to improve the classrooms. Faculty members were dropped, and new people were added to the staff and student body. In addition to these more obvious changes, many more subtle modifications unfolded as the year pro- gressed. Similar to the way caterpillars experience changes to become strong butterflies, our school has undergone modi- fications to become a better place to receive an education. Introduction To Theme 3
