Alfred I. duPont Elementary Schooi, the first school in the district, was buiit in T930 with funds donated by Alfred I, duPont, The Older I grow, the more I am convinced that there is no education which one can get from books and costly apparatus that is equal to that which can be gotten from Contact with great men and women. Booker T. Washington A Back round of Tradition The Brandywine Story At the end of World War I, Brandywine Hundred, the largest geographical area in New Castle County, was populated by 124 families who lived on rolling farm- land that extended north and east from Wilmington to the Pennsylvania line. The Concord Pike, even then a main artery of traffic, was a toll road. Pioneer families such as the Sharpleys, Hanbys, Talleys, Weldins, Websters, Zebleys, and Mousleys paid a Sc toll to travel its distance to Wilmington City. Business activity included a few lumber, woolen, grist, and snuff mills. Grades 1 to 8 were contained in schools at Rockland, Sharpley, Eight Square, and Point Breeze. . Q Such was the rural background from which the Alfred I. duPont School District was moulded. Time-a quarter century, to frame its passing-has altered the land- scape almost completely. New Castle County, in which we occupy the northern sector, now has a population of over 300,000 and is considered to be one of the fastest growing communities in the United States today. v ' . Its people live in a middle to high socio-economic bracket. National origins are largely English and German. Many are college graduates who come to our com- munity from all parts of the world, and are employed in business and professional capacities. Many factors contribute to the attractiveness of the district. Opportunities for relaxation in the community or nearby vicinity include a new branch library, theater, music, art, a variety of clubs, and sports such as golf, swimming, bowling, horseback riding, baseball and softball. Many of our families, through the agency of their occupations, have lived in many parts of the United States and countries abroad, and are extremely interested in the educational growth and development of their young people. They have been accustomed to good schools and are keenly interested in the programs of all schools wherever their employment carries them. There is evidence in the make-up of our student body of an academic zeal for learning. This is turned into competitive achievement, which combined with native ability sets high standards of performance' which are adhered to consistently. The typical student is an outgoing person, one who adopts and uses social graces with ease. A natural curiosity stimulates an active interest in the total school picture. Alfred I. duPont Elementary School, the pioneer institution in our district, was founded in 1930 and had an original enrollment of 253. Since then, our school system has expanded to include two additional elementary schools and a iunior high school, all of which send their students to Brandywine High School. The largest of the elementary schools, located on Foulk Road, was completed in 1954. Lombardy, the infant prodigy among the grade schools opened its doors to 600 pupils in Sep- tember of 1959. At the secondary level, Springer Junior High's two story plan, capable of housing 1000 and expandable to 1200 students, continues to hold its high academic standards established since its dedication in February, 1958. Brandywine High School was occupied in February, 1959. Originally planned to house 750, it was completed to accommodate 1000, and can be expanded to provide educational facilities for approximately 1600 students. The high school had 37 classrooms, one gymnasium and a library. Site improvements, including an athletic field and tennis courts, will be carried out during 1960. The Alfred I. duPont School District has come a long way since its modest begin- ning. Many people-parents,'teachers, students, and interested citizens-have con- tributed to this growth and development. Yet plans to provide for the future are still being made. Even now construction is in progress on an additional iunior high school. The high academic standards and traditions of school spirit and pride are results of not only potential, but also a well-balanced program which has been carefully planned and administered. Our school life is a living experience as well as a preparation for the future. This is our design. ui 8 8:05 in the morning the pattern ofthe present: It Was fast an Ordinary Day 7 ' .fy if ,l . .. , :fwumma 1.......o '--n-sunQg., 1-QF Zi. :i,A Q '- i 3 Q .

From that day on, you became the class of 1960. Since then many of us have been privileged to have shared with you the fun, dreams, excitement and satisfaction as Brandywine was created. The Class of 1960 has clone its iob well in set- ting standards for other classes to follow. Yours has not been an easy task because there were no upper classmen setting the pace and standards. It has been satisfying to see you develop into cap- able young men and women during the last three years. Although I have had no direct responsibility for the Class of 1960, I consider myself fortunate to have known many of you personally. The class of 1960 has had many unusual op- portunities because it is the first graduating class. As you leave the Alfred I. duPont School Dis- trict, I hope you take with you a sincere apprecia- tion for the efforts of your teachers and parents. Many people have given much to provide you with an adequate education. I hope you take an awareness of the educational investment we have made in you as individuals and that you will prove our efforts to be worthwhile. Z7ZzL.-no Wherever you go, whatever you do, you have my sincere personal wish for your success. DR. ARTHUR T. NELSON Supervising Principal Dr. Nelson maiored in mathematics and science and received his B.Ed. at Rhode Island College of Education in 1946, his M.A. at Trinity in 1949, and his Ed.D. at Columbia Uni- versity in 1952. Dr. Nelson has been a iunior high teacher and assistant superintendent in Connecticut, a high school principal in New Hampshire, the Director of the Philadelphia Area School Stud- ies Council and a professor and associate in the Educational Service Bureau at Temple Uni- versity. He has taught at the University of Delaware, the University of Bridgeport, and Frank- lin and Marshall College and was associated with the Institute of Field Studies at Columbia. Boating, skiing, and tinkering are Dr. Nelson's hobbies. He and Mrs. Nelson have three children: April, age 10, Gay, 8, and Jill, 6. Board of School Trustees The four members of the Board of School Trustees are united for the purpose of establishing policy for the proper and efficient operation of the school system. This board statement includes everything from supplying textbooks to appro- priating funds for the building of new schools. Technically, these men are the representatives of the State Board of Education of Delaware. It is their iob to determine the end re- sult of a policy, and the duty of the administration to see that this is accomplished. The first School Board in the Alfred I. duPont School District was originated about 30 years ago. The present members, appointed by the resident iudge of New Castle County, are Dr. Norman E. Searle, Chairman, Mr. H. Stewart Cline, Mr. Cerdric E. Marsh, and Mr. Howard L. Williams. To make the school a real center for the community's civic and educational activities is the ulti- mate goal of the School Trustees. DR. SEARLE MR. CLINE MR. ' MARSH MR. WILLIAMS MR. LEROY C.

A Message From Dr. Jenkins What is Brandywine? A building, a creek, a geographical area . . . Yes, but to each of YOU Brandywine has a special and different meaning. YOU are Brandywine. YOU are the school. YOU have made our school system and district what it is today. YOU are the spirit, the ambition, the drive, the quality scholar. YOU are the life line of Brandywine High School. Brandywine is a school whose life has only begun, and yet, because of YOU, its present and future have no boundary, no limitation. Our curricular and activity programs have been expanded to include advanced courses in the areas of academic, scientific, business and general pursuits. Every effort has been made in a short period of time to give you the program that best suits your needs. , You have had the advantage of a new school plant, an interested and outstanding faculty, and a climate of desire to learn and achieve. Every resource available to the teachers, guidance counselors, parents and administration has been brought to bear on your educational program. This atmosphere has been largely one of developing you in every way- through an academic curriculum, through individual and group athletics, through numerous field trips, plays, dances, and through individual counseling. Although our past is hardly history, for it is so short, you have made your mark through superior scholastic achieve- ments and outstanding spirit for your school. You have shown the way for future classes to reach and excel the high standards which already characterize Brandywine High School. lt has been a great thrill to work in such favorable surroundings which you have created. I speak for the staff and community when I say: Thank you for Brandywine, Q sf Condition Recl! Condition Red! MR. FRANK W. ELLIS Mr. Frank W. Ellis, our vice-principal, has been at Brandywine for eight years. Before coming here, he taught science, math, art and physical education at Min- quadale School. At Brandywine he has taught general science, math, and biology. This year he is teaching physics and is the head of the Science Department. Mr. Ellis graduated from West Chester Teachers College in 1950 and received an M.S. degree from the University of Dela- ware in 1958. Outside of school, this versatile man enjoys photography, camping, and gym- nastics. His two daughters, Barbara, 2, and Sandra, l, also afford him many hours of pleasure. ss.

N The P.T.A. of Brandywine High School has been in ex- istence for only one year and already has a membership of 825, including 5 officers. Among their many accom- plishments are the sponsor- ship of one of our foreign ex- change students and the open house held in October to in- troduce parents to our school. The obiect of this organiza- tion is to bring the home, school, church, and commu- nity into closer relation so that parents and teachers may co- operate intelligently in the training of the child. Faulk Road Elementary School M 2 Lay Advisory Committee The Lay Advisory Committee of twenty- five parents assisted the Board of School Trustees in the planning of an immediate and long-range school construction pro- gram. Detailed planning by the Committee included population forecasts, site selec- tion, basic specifications for iunior and senior high schools, Brandywine among them, and curriculum requirements. Mr. F. H. Humme was the general chairman of this committee, which was further divided into the Site Committee, with Mr. T. C. Hill as the chairman, and the Curriculum Committee, headed by Mr. A. G. Sparks.

Guide Posts I the Future Our guidance department was added to the school program in 1957 with its sole counsellor, Mr. Olsen. Since then, the guidance program has progressed with the addition of Mr. Curran in 1958 and Dr. Rheinhold in 1959 as full time advisers. The guidance counsellor's main purpose is to inform the entire student body and to aid the students in solving their problems. Their basic philosophy is to help the students help themselves. ln order to accomplish this purpose, the counsellors assist the pupils in choosing their curriculum, solicit group information through college night and career night programs, extend individual counselling to those who request it and help new students to adiust to our school life. The guidance counsellors also aid others in various ways. These include exploring jobs for students and recommending them to employers and colleges. By helping the teachers to understand their pupils and the parents to understand educational practices, the counsellors indirectly aid the students in making correct decisions. ln a general picture the guidance program has advanced over the years in its aid to the students. In ninth and tenth grade advisers help the students plan their high school curriculum in terms of future plans. During eleventh grade, planning for post high school work is done, tests are given, and interviews requested. ln the last year of high school, information is directed to future years. College applications and acceptances are recorded on this map in the guidance office. MISS ERNA MARTIN University of Virginia, B.S. in Ed., George Peabody Library School, B.S. in L.S.g University of Delaware, M.A. in History, advises Library Club. FICTIO , Our library contains about three thousand volumes, of which one thousand two hundred are fiction, and about eighteen hundred are non-fiction, it subscribes to sixty magazines, ten of which are donated, three are foreign language publications, and two newspapers, the Wilmington Morning News and the Christian Science Monitor. The library is used by about one hundred fifty students daily for reference for study and for recreational reading. The refer- ence area is up-to-date, especially in the field of science be- cause it is a recent collection. The library also offers vocational materials in cooperation with the guidance office. The library has seating for ninety, two conference rooms, a magazine-storage room, and an office workroom. Members of the library club take charge of the check-out desk for several periods during the day. In the future, the library will have from ten to twelve thousand volumes. Plans are already being made for the necessary additional shelving to accomodate the increased collection. The vertical filing material will also be expanded. Sandy Vincent finds solitude in the library.

Menus are planned for the district by Mrs. Ursula Kirvvin. Daily, about 170 students buy platters of meat, vegetables, bread and butter, dessert, and milk for 56.30. The a la carte line serves 375 students such items as soup, special sand- wiches, salads, desserts, and assorted goodies. The staff tries to adapt the menus to the themes of holidays as they occur throughout the year. MR.

Brandywine uses seven O'Neill buses and two A.l. district buses to trans- port pupils who live outside a two-mile radius of the school. A bus has been provided for Foulk Woods where walking is too dangerous. Deerhurst supports its own bus at fifteen cents per day per pupil where the same condition exists. They arrive between 7:55 and 8:10 in the morning and leave at 2:42 P.M. In addition, Brandywine operates two activity buses which leave at 4 P.M. Many of the drivers have been driving buses since our days at Alfred l. Homeward bound! Wh. r MRS.

The Word: Understooi English is the basis of our curriculum. To express oneself clearly and logically, it is necessary to have an extensive background in the fundamentals of the English language. Therefore, four years of English are offered at Brandywine. In addition, a course in creative writing and public speaking is available for interested students. All students are required to take English, whether it is business English or college prep English. Business English is concerned mainly with grammar, spelling, business vocabulary, and oral expression in the form of sales talks, interviews, and speeches of introduction, pres- entation, and acceptance. College prep English offers American and English literature, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. Students are encouraged to do extra reading to enrich their background in literature and life. The philosophy of the English department is concerned with the communication of ideas and the acquisition of knowledge of the history of Western thought as expressed in the best literature. The main objectives of the department are to help the student to acquire the ability to think clearly, to speak logically and well, and to express himself to the best of his ability. Future plans include audio-visual aids for literature in the form of films, maps, and records. The department hopes to expand to include other facets of English such as iournalism and dramatics. MR.

Freshmen are required to take one semester of Civics and one semester of Ancient History. Included in their course is a two- week survey of vocations and a term paper on a vocation of interest to the student. Sophomores may elect the world history sequel to their ninth grade ancient history, they study world events from 1500 A.D. to the l95O's. Eleventh grade history, a continuation of eighth grade social stud- ies, is required for all iuniors. lt traces United States history from the Civil War period to contemporary America. Problems of Democracy, required for seniors, is divided equally into thirds of sociology economics, and comparative government. To in- crease their understanding of the stock market, the P.O.D. classes heard a stock market broker speak, and then they invested about S88 in the market for the duration of the school year. The money was raised by voluntary student contribu- tions. These courses are designed to accomplish the aims of the department. It is hoped that, as we be- come citizens, we will interpret the local, national, and international situations in terms of what we have learned from the study and discussion of problems of the past and present. The program instills the principles of democracy, and attempts to help pupils build a defensible philosophy of life. Teachers encourage students to do extra, out- side research on topics discussed in classes. Book reports, debates, reports, term papers, and bulletin boards help bring additional information to class periods. MR. NORBERT C. SOLDON Social Studies, World History: 1 U. S.

Salfve, Buenos Brandywine's Foreign Language department offers two years of Spanish and German, three years of Latin, and four years of French. In the future, they hope to expand to four years of all these lan- guages. As it now stands, about 80 per cent of the student body are taking one or more foreign languages. The philosophy of the course is to help break down the lan- guage barriers built up as the world has grown smaller. Interna- tional tensions would be reduced as people become better able to understand the languages of others. The main obiective of the de- partment is to help the student speak, read, and write a foreign language with facility. Next year, a foreign language laboratory will be installed. This is a device used to help improve the student's pronunciation and aural comprehension by constant listening and repetition. Also, more students are to be selected to participate in the American Association of Teach- ers of French tests. The introduction of foreign languages in elementary school began this year with an after- school French class at,Lombardy School. Eventually this will be continued into iunior high and high school. r MR. PAUL C.

MISS JOAN BETZ Head of Mathematics Depart- ment, Algebra I, Kutztown State Teachers College, B.S.p George Washington University, graduate work, University of Delaware, graduate work, ad- vises lzlational Honor Society: Evaluation Steering Committee. The Mathematics Department believes that each student should understand and enioy mathematics as a creative activity according to his ability. Mathematics instruction gives each student opportunities to fulfill his mathematical needs and to develop his mathematical po'- tential. Courses are taken according to curricula sequences. The Atrs sequence requires algebra I and- ll and geometry. In addition to these courses, Scientific students take trig- onometry, advanced algebra, and solid geom- etry. One year of general mathematics and one year of business mathematics are required for General and Business students, re- spectively. Y Business mathematics emphasizes areas use- ful to commercial students and is followed by bookkeeping. General mathematics includes topics from algebra and geometry, and deals with practical applications of mathematics. Algebra I emphasizes the nature of number systems and the principles governing them, equations and inequalities treated both algebra- ically and graphically, understanding of basic concepts, introduces imaginaries, logarithms, and background topics for further study in mathematics and science. Geometry empha- sizes deductive reasoning, the nature of proof, and the study of various geometric figures, both plane and solid. The final year includes trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra. A testing program, to survey achievement and to assist in ability grouping, is being plan- ned. Advanced classes are either being offered or are planned for all iunior and senior grades. Brandywine participates in the Delaware and National Mathematics Contests.

The science department then continues the encouragement throughout high school. It directs scientifically talented students toward a career in science. All students are encouraged toward an understand- ing of basic scientific principles. Our science department offers a four-year coverage of a basic course in each of general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. At this time, there are 222 students taking general science, 158 taking biology, 128 taking chemistry, and 43 taking physics. These are designed to support the different levels of high specialization desired by the student. The objectives of the department are: 1.1 to develop an understanding of functional principles and concepts based on fact and experimentation, 2.3 to develop laboratory skills, 3.3 to encourage intellectual curiosity and satisfaction in achievement. The necessary facilities and staff are available to support the achievement of these goals through a program designed to challenge the varied interests of all students. Constant effort is made to seek out and develop special talents. For the future, every effort will be extended to re-evalu- ate and plan these courses of study to best reflect the changing requirements of modern times. DR. PHYLLIS L.

These subiects are required for business students but elective for academic students. About 115 students are now taking the business course of study. The obiectives of the department are to teach students to be secretaries, stenographers, and gen- eral office workers, and to offer elective business courses to academic students. The philosophy is to offer as wide a range of subiects as the enrollment demands. The department hopes to have a work ex- perience program soon. When and if necessary, another teacher and a course in distributive educa- tion will be added to the department. ln the near future they hope to have all electric typewriters.

BOCK Head of Industrial Arts De- partment, Mechanical Drawing: General Mathematics, Fairmont State Teachers College, B.A. and B.S.p University of Dela- ware, M.Ed.y advises Senior Class. quares, Tool The Industrial Arts department offers to approxi- mately 15O students, courses in mechanical draw- ing and shop. Students in grades 9 through 12 may elect shop and those in grades 10 through 12 may elect mechanical drawing. Its objectives are: 1. to impart knowledge about the importance of drawing in various occupations, 2. to acquaint the student with the tools and equipment used, 3. to develop an attitude ot good work habits, 4. to begin building a vocabulary of technical terms, 5. to develop the ability to visualize from working drawings, and 6. to develop the ability to describe the shape and size of obiects by orthographic proiection which is a system of graphically presenting an obiect by means of sev- eral views. The metal shop course is designed to meet the needs ot the student who plans to go into a trade where a working knowledge of metal is important. It provides experience in metal work and the care of necessary tools and machines. To the general student, the course will con- tinue to be exploration and, frequently, prepara- tion for employment for part-time work experience. The emphasis will be on wood and metal shop- work and mechanical drawing. To the college prep student, industrial arts will emphasize leisure time activities, breadth of life interests and a supplemental activity to normal school work. Plans are made to include a wood working course and an electronics shop as well as to ex- pand existing shops. Boys learn the fundamentals of mechanical drawing. md Trades MR.

Intensive experience produces precision craftsmen. eedles and oodles The Home Living course was elected by forty-six girls. Under Mrs. Janet Twitchell, they study foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, child care, home furnishings, per- sonal and home management. Each topic is developed more tully in successive grades. Four kitchen units provide plenty of space for practice in the study of foods. At Christmas, gift boxes of cookies made by the girls were given to Dr. Nelson, Dr. Jenkins, the office and cafeteria staffs, and the custodians. Six machines are available for sewing. Freshmen work with cottons, sophomores with woolens. Juniors and Seniors made the lined, traverse draperies for the Home Ec suite. The girls prepare for the future by studying the care of children. They learn everything from behavior patterns to the duties of parenthood. The pupils are taught how to get along with family, friends, and other people. Home furnishings and management were co-ordinated. The students designed the living and dining suite. Shopping in small groups after school, they bought the kitchen tables and chairs, and dining room furniture. This suite is a show place as well as being practical for first-hand experience and for informal discussions. To help them in decor, the girls visited Winterthur and had outside speakers. An open house was held at Christmas with the faculty members as guests. Special decorations were made for the suite, and punch and cookies were served. Home Ec girls serve home-made punch and cookies at the Christmas Faculty Open House. Home Ec students appreciate culinary achievements. tl Paints and Palettes Our fine arts department offers tour courses of art as electives. The work covers a wide range of media such as draw- ing, ceramics, sculpture, oil painting, commercial design, and art history. The course will enable the student to have a more aesthetic insight into the world in which he lives. About one hundred and twenty students are taking art this year with about ten to twenty ot' them planning to continue in this field. In Art I and ll emphasis is placed on problems in de- sign. Art Ill branches out into more three dimensional projects. ln Art IV a choice is given for specializing in a chosen field. Our long range plans include more commercial art work in graphics, which will require commercial art equipment. MR.

M.: Director of Athletics: Sponsor of Intra- murals. Rings, Rope Health and Physical Education play an increasingly important role in modern education, because our civilzation is becoming more sedentary. Our Health and Physical Education Department has obiectives as important as academic skills. The Department aims at physiological development and improved social attitudes and mental alertness. Mr. Snyder states: Participation is our watchword: we provide for this in two areas: required physical education and volunteer activities. Girls and boys have basically the same curriculum. The fall program includes calisthenics and marching, touch football, hockey, and soccer. Parts of the winter schedule are basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, calisthenics and marching, wrest- ling, co-ed activities, and rhythmics. Spring activities are softball, track, and tennis. Volunteer activities are available as varsity and intramural sports. Brandywiners may compete in ten varsity sports: football, cross country, hockey, basketball, wrestling, softball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track. If varsity teams cannot handle all interested students, these sports are also run on an intramural basis, with the addition of gymnastics and volleyball. The second area of activity of the Department is health instruction. Classes promote the health and the physical, social, and emotional well-being of students, and give them a working knowledge of safety and first aid. Spectacular spike by Roger Wolf.

After trips through Faulk Road Elementary, Alfred l. duPont, and Springer Junior High, we finally arrived at Brandywine High School. As we graduate, we remember all the wonderful times we've had. With every cubbyhole used for a classroom, we began our freshman year. Teach- ers introduced the courses which were to show us the real meaning of high school: algebra, languages, and business courses. After Christmas, things really got going as our basketball team rolled on to winning scores. Spring brought the May Fair, class plays, and the Dover trip. The annual school fair was climaxed by the program at which Sherry Landrum and Rolf Ericksen were crowned May Queen and King. The class trip was wonderful, with the boys in one bus, and the girls in another. The baseball team showed its spirit and led us through a great season. We'll never forget the plays put on by the ninth grade English classes. The climax was the prom-frilly dresses, white coats, music, and flowers were a memorable way to end our first year in high school. Sophomores! The year started with a bang as we sleepily reported for class at 7:55 AM because of split sessions. Though this meant lack of sleep, we were home in time for lunch with the whole afternoon to ourselves. As Christmas approached, excitement reached a peak, for during the vacation, we were to move to the new Springer Junior High School. The first few days there were spent learning how to use lockers and trying to find classes in what we considered a maze of halls. Clubs and varsity sports added to the already full schedule. This was also a year for another first-final exams. Bleary-eyed, we studied long and hard, and did a lot of hoping, too. The iunior year arrived with excitement, adventure, and hard work. In the open- ing assembly of the year, Harold Judefind received a General Motors award for automobile design. Studying, dances, clubs, and football filled the fall months. We will never forget the Christmas Dance sponsored by our class-the busy preparations, the endless number of snowflakes, the marvelous time had by all. February brought the most important first: Brandywine High School! Confusion reigned supreme as plans were made to move into the new building. We had finally found a home, a school we could call our own. The first day everything and everyone were lost: students, books, desks, and teachers! We finally managed to settle down into a semblance of routine. Spring witnessed more confusion, this time over colleges and post-high school plans. It seemed as though there were an endless number of tests to take and college catalogues to read. To represent Brandywine at Boys' and Girls' State we sent Peggy Evers, Martha Miller, Rolf Ericksen, and Woody Tatman. In May we took time off from school tensions to plan a roaring Student Council election campaign. Posters, speeches, and general hi-iinx were climaxed on voting day by an unforgettable assembly. As a reward for his interest and ability Jim Umstead received the Scholar-Athlete trophy. Finals brought the year to a close and gave us the summer to recuperate. With commencement, college, and iobs foremost in our minds, we tumbled into our Senior Year.. At an opening assembly, we were introduced to new teachers and our first foreign exchange students. The football team made everyone happy by bringing in a winning season. Although we had no home stadium, and rain was our constant companion, we managed to keep up the spirit and the score. We were all proud that Jan Dannaway was placed on the All-Conference and All- State football teams. This year also marked the beginning of our long-fought-for girls interscholastic sports. At the first class meeting, we elected as senior class officers: Rolf Ericksen, president, Jim Umstead, vice-president, Gail Cline, secretary, and Martha Miller, treasurer. At the Christmas Dance, Sherry Landrum was elected our Christmas Queen. Evaluation and college acceptance heightened anticipation during the, early Spring months. As the results of the National Merit Scholarship Tests were received, it was announced that Charles Guilford was a semifinalist, while nine others were recognized for exceptional achievement. After an unforgettable prom, we settled down for final exams. A new tradition was set by the inauguration of our first senior-dinner-dance. As a last reminder of our scholastic efforts at Brandy- wine, and award night was held at which achievements were recognized through the Davis Awards, among many others. Our years at Brandywine were culminated by graduation. The completion of our secondary education stands as an important plateau, behind are our memories of high school, ahead, our hopes and dreams of the future. JOHN M.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS, left to righv: John Ringwald, president: Bevsy Henderson, secretary treasurerg Jim Bechtold, via-president. the junior story The graduating class of 1961 is the first-the first to send students abroad, and the first to give a Junior-Senior Prom, Although we are anxiously looking forward to our senior year, we reminisce with pleasure over the years past. Most of the class of '61 trudged yawning and bleary-eyed through the first half of ninth grade when we were on split sessions at Alfred I. duPont. The maiority of us had a free afternoon every day which compensated for the fact that our extra-cur- ricular activities were limited. However, freshman football players stayed after school for lunch and practice. They formed an important part of our football team which played against other high school iunior varsity teams during that first year. Compared to our previous cramped quarters, the elbow room available at Springer was a welcome change. ln basketball and baseball our boys played on victorious junior high teams. As one of our first class activities we chose officers: John Ring- wald was president, Bob Ferarra was vice-president, and Mary Miner was secretary- treasurer. Three class activities brought our freshman year to a close. With the help of Miss Denlinger and Mr. Bock we sponsored the gala Freshman Frolic, where we danced to the music of the Hurricanes. The Latin students donned togas for their Latin Banquet. Miss Baynard, students, and parents alike ate in traditional Roman style-no forks. The entertainment consisted of a Roman fashion show, a Roman wedding, and a dance entitled Latin Lives Today. The French students had their evening at Le Cafe du Poisson. Les eleves showed their talents as singing waiters and waitresses and as entertainers. Our sophomore year was a big one, not only because we moved into the new senior high, but because we became full-fledged high school students. Now eligible for senior high sports, the sophomore boys displayed great skill and showed tremen- dous potential as future football, basketball, wrestling, track and baseball stars. Class officers John Ringwald, Larry Mclntyre, and Barbara Marshall were elected, Mrs. Kavanaugh and Mr. Gumpert acted as advisers. On the evening of May 15th that year we exchanged the every day for white coats, swirling formals and colorful corsages. This, our Freshman-Sophomore Prom, featured an oriental theme and the music of the Premiers. Julius Caesar and Calpurnia, alias John Ringwald and Donna Stout, presided over the Latin banquet that year and were entertained by skits, a wrestling match, and Mr. Dannaway's iokes. Exams came all too soon, but finally they were over, and we had the summer to recuperate. This year when we returned as iuniors, we faced new problems and decisions as well as more freedom. One of the highlights of the year was the arrival of our rings, smooth blue stones set in gold. The newly-elected officers were John Ring- wald, Jim Bechtold, and Betsy Henderson, and the advisers were Dr. Magat and Mr. Capodanno. Two of our members were selected to participate in the American Field Service program. We are proud to have the honor of being the first class to have this distinction. Another of our firsts-the Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 21, 1960. The Regeants provided delightful music that complimented the lazy southern atmosphere. That evening is one that we will remember for years to come. This spring was filled with serious plans for the future: those College Boards that left us drained, the marvelous College Caraven, digging through stacks of college and career pamphlets, and numerous hours spent in the guidance office. Although few of us are positive as to exactly what we intend to do upon graduation in 1961 most of us have 'started preparation for it. Upon survey it was found that 39? of us are taking the College-Prep Science course, 35M are taking the College-Prep Arts course, and about 13'Ms each are enrolled in the Business and General courses. We've been through a lot together-good times and not-so-good ones. We've had an unusual history, too. In a sense we have been the iuniors of our high school since ninth grade. Next year we will finally be seniors. We realize the responsibilities and privileges that accompany this distinction, and will do our best to live up to Brandywine's year-old traditions. the junior class from A to L jovial, fabberin , Jaunty BOTTOM ROW, left Yo right-J.

Cline secretary-ireasurerg Charles Coslin, president. the sophomore story The Class of '62' is the first-the first class that will have completed their three years of senior high school at Brandywine. We were initiated as freshmen into our first year of high school with an enroll- ment of 188. The first half of the year 1958 was spent in Springer Junior High, while awaiting the transfer to Brandywine the following February. Unlike others in the state, the freshman class was to be a part of the high school student body for the present. This created many problems of transportation, because the boys played on the Junior High baseball and basketball teams and had to move back and forth from Brandywine to Springer for practice and games. The boys were bursting with enthusiasm at the possibility of participating in their first year of varsity and iunior varsity sports. Football, wrestling, golf, tennis, and track were open to them even though they were freshmen, this gave them ex- perience in high school sports for the coming years. ln tennis and golf the freshmen made up a great part of the varsity teams. Because of participation in the Junior High basketball and baseball teams at Springer, the boys were not able to come out for those sports at Brandywine. The basketball team was very successful, winning 8 out of 13 games. Dallas Winslow led the boys with a total of 113 points throughout the season. Bob Johnson and Tom Lips were the other freshman high-scorers. Around November it was time to choose the Springer cheerleaders. After much hard practice and many sore muscles, three of our classmates were chosen. They enthusiastically cheered the boys to a winning season. Last year the girls were limited to tennis as a high school interscholastic sport. They had a victorious season by losing only two out of six matches. Kathy Kulp demon- strated her skill by attaining the number one position throughout the season. Be- cause there were no courts as yet at Brandywine, we again had the problem of going over to Springer except on Wednesdays and Thursdays when we practiced at the du Pont Country Club. After moving to Brandywine, the freshmen elected class officers. Those from the previous year had been Stan Ecton, president, Ray Barney, vice-president, and Nancy Owens, secretary-treasurer. The newly elected officers were Bob Johnson, Tom Lips and Stan Ecton. Although the freshmen were members of the Senior High Student Council, they did not hold any offices. ln eighth grade, after much campaigning, Butch Gosline had been elected president and Janet Cline secretary-treasurer of the Springer Student Council. Quite a few of the freshmen participated in the annual algebra contest in March. Of all the ninth and tenth grade contestants, John Christie came in first and Kathie Herbert, third. These freshmen helped Brandywine place third in the state in their division. The year was highlighted by a freshman-sophomore prom. An oriental theme set the atmosphere for a successful evening. The Class of '62 started the school year of 1959-60 as sophomores. We really felt a part of th'e high school, for we were now eligible for all senior high activities. The boys who went out for football felt the glory of a winning season for Brandy- wine's first Varsity and Junior Varsity football team. For the first time, the boys were allowed to try out for high school basketball. Dallas Winslow was on the Varsity squad, and other sophomore boys showed their skill on the J.V. team. This was a year for many firsts, and the girls' interscholastic sports was high on the list. The sophomore girls took an active part in helping the hockey, basketball, and softball teams get a good start. The first field trip taken by the Latin classes was one to Philadelphia to see Ben Hur at the Boyd Theater. Many of the sophomore class participated in this successful trip. The class elections were conducted early this year. The new officers were Butch Gosline, president, Dallas Winslow, vice-president, and Janet Cline, secretary- treasurer. With two years at Brandywine behind us and two years ahead, we are anxious and proud to help establish her standards, ideals, and traditions. As members of our class go on to attain positions as school leaders, we will strive to uphold the spirit of Brandywine. the sophomore class from A to K . . .

Not shown-Nick Horn, vice-president. the freshman story The class of 1963 is the first-the first clqss that, upon graduation, will have spent four years at Brandywine High School. ' On a bright sunny September morning, 1959, 240 freshmen entered Brandy- wine for their first day of high school. We were immediately assigned to homerooms where friendships were renewed and new ones acquired. On that day, if you had seen someone running down the hall late for a class, it probably was a freshman who was not yet acquainted with the lay-out of the building. After being presented with a choice of a variety of activities, we began at once to take an active part in them. Among these activities were: Chorus, which had a freshman membership of twelve, newspaper and yearbook had seven members, Band had twenty-six, Cross Country had two, Future Nurses Club had five members, Student Council had nine members, Dramatics Club had twenty-six members. One of our freshman girls, Susan Roedel, had a maior acting role in the dramatics club production of June Graduate. Aside from co-curricular activities we had an excellent scholastic record. Approxi- mately two-thirds of our class took the College Preparatory curriculum. The other third took either the Business or the General course. To reward those students with outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service to the school, a National Junior Honor Society Chapter was established last year. Freshmen in the Junior Honor Society Society Chapter was established last year. Freshmen in the Junior Honor Society were: Sue Brakin, Michele Clark, Margie Greiner, Judy Ladd, Elaine Ringwald, Cindy Williams, Mark Brennesholtz, Robert Doughty, Nick Horn, David Maynard, Mike Mc- Millan, and Charles Slavin. Not eligible for varsity playing, the freshman boys played basketball on the Springer Junior High School team. With a grand display of athletic ability the team had a spectacular season. The spectators applauded the constantly rising score on the scoreboard with each passing game. The first activity which brought the class together was the election of class officers: Conley Edwards, president, Nick Horn, vice-president, Sandy Phillips, secretary, Michele Clark, treasurer. A second class activity, run iointly with the Sophomore Class, was the Freshman and Sophomore Prom. The small fee of 52.00 per couple was more than enough to cover the delightful evening. The Out in Space motif was brought out in the decorations which depicted life on another planet. lt will probably be a long time before we forget the memorable evening of fun and music. We have been proud of our reception by the upperclassmen. The helping hand which they so willingly extended to us is more than we could ever repay to them. The freshmen, too, when they graduate in 1963, hope to have left at Brandywine a record of outstanding leadership, scholarship, and service. the freshman class from A to L' .

Of course, each must have some innate physical abili- ties. However, this is not enough. To become physically as well as mentally mature takes guidance by those whose basic concern is to promote a healthy spirit. Such is our design. POR T U., . lf fkwq it 2 Q., ,M if ,rw , 'sz 1 , WR ?

It was evident from the first minutes of play that the Bears were sadly outclassed by the Bulldogs. The Brown team remained scoreless at the half, while the Brandywiners chalked up 14 points. During the second half Brandywine wid- ened its lead to make the final score 33-0. CLAYMONT 6 - BRANDYWINE 26 ln its second engagement Brandywine met the Indians of Claymont High School on the latter's field. The Bull- dogs proved too strong for the mediocre Claymont team. The Indians were held to one touchdown, regis- tered in the third quarter, while Brandywine racked up four TDs and two PATs. The final score for the day's rout was 26-6. P. S. DuPONT 7 - BRANDYWINE 26 The Bulldogs were the underdogs in their first Blue Hen Conference game of the season against P. S. du- Pont. Though the Dynamiters had the advantage of playing on their home field, they could not contend with the spirited Bulldog squad. They were held to one TD, Brandywine chalked up four, adding PAT: to make the final score 26-7. WILMINGTON I3 - BRANDYWINE 20 The thus far untested Bulldogs met a defensively strong Wilmington High School team in its fourth game of the season. Both teams were held scoreless during the first half. The Red Devils scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, pulling ahead 13-O. Brandywine snapped back by scoring 20 points in the third and the fourth quarters, to win the day's fray. DOVER 13 - BRANDYWINE 6 The Bulldogs collided with the Senators of Dover High School on a rain-drenched gridiron. Iniuries and the slow- ness of the squad's adapting to the muddy condition of the field, combined to hand Brandywine its first defeat of the season. The Senators eked out a close victory by scoring two TDs to Brandywine's one, making the final score l3-6. Prowler NEWARK 26 - BRANDYWINE 7 Brandywine for the second week in a row played on a rain-soaked field in its clash with a powerful Newark High School team. The Yellow-iackets took an early lead, which they held throughout the game. Brandywine came to life in the last quarter, scored a touchdown, and passed for the extra point. The final score was 26-7. CONRAD 12 - BRANDYWINE 0 In Brandywine's fourth Blue Hen Conference clash, the Bulldogsnwere handed their third successive defeat. Con- rad High's Redskins tallied two second period touch- downs, while Brandywine remained scoreless at the half. The Redskin squad managed to hold their lead, though Brandywine twice posed a scoring threat, once coming within two yards of the goal. The final score for Brandy- wine's seventh game was 12-O. WM. PENN 9 - BRANDYWINE 12 The Bulldogs encountered the Colonials of William Penn in their fifth Conference contest. The Colonials took a 9-0 lead in the first quarter by scoring a TD, PAT, and safety. Brandywine tallied two TDs in the second and fourth quarters, while preventing the William Penn ag- gregation from adding to their early total. The final score was Brandywine 12 -- William Penn 9. MT. PLEASANT 38 - BRANDYWINE 7 Brandywine wrapped up ifs 1959 football season by opposing a very powerful undefeated Mount Pleasant team. The Knights lead throughout the fray by scoring in each quarter, while holding back the Bulldogs. Even though little chance of winning the game remained, the Brandywine squad came to life in the final quarter by scoring a TD and PAT. BULLDOGS THIRD In its first year of full varsity football competition, Brandywine accumulated a 5-4 overall record. Of the nine games played in the 1959 season, six were Blue Hen Conference contests. Many powerful and long es- tablished teams fell victims to the fast-moving Brandy- wine football squad. The team' ranked third in the Con- ference by amassing a fine 3-3 record.

Baylinson R Guilford Cross Countr Brandywine High School is iustifiably proud of its first cross country team. The season got off to a slow start as the team was beaten in a dual meet with De La Warr. The second meet was also dropped to a powerful team from Mount Pleasant High School. After gaining valuable exper- ience in their first two meets, Brandywine wrapped up the season by flying to easy victories in two triangular meets with Newark-Conrad, and William Penn-Wilmington, re- spectively. Despite the fact that most of the boys had no previous ex- perience in long-distance running, Brandywine placed third in the Blu.e Hen Conference, and fifth in the state of Delaware. Most of the boys will agree that their success would not have been possible had it not,been for the fine coaching of Mr. Curtis.

The Bulldogs finished the regular season with an over-all record of six wins to one loss. These 'matches were not the boys' only triumphs. They scored another first by winning the first sports trophy for the school. The award was made after they had the greatest number of points, 82, and had won four of the T2 weight classes at the Blue Hen Conference Wrestling Meet. The following week, Brandywine took second place in the State Meet at the Uni- versity of Delaware. Not only did the boys come within three points of first place with their score of 69, but they also walked away with more medals than any other school in the state.

We've G0 The varsity basketball team of Brandywine High School opened its 1959 season in a non-conference game with the Indians of Claymont High. The score of the contest was Brandywine 38, Claymont 52. Brandywine broke into the winning column the following game by overwhelming the Alexis I. duPont courtmen with a score of 50 to 35. The Bulldogs were defeated by a score of 38 to 83 in opening Blue Hen basketball competition against the Con- rad High School Redskins. Three Conference setbacks followed, 40-54 to Mount Pleasant, 48-53 to Newark, and 26-36 to P. S. duPont. The undaunted Bulldogs went into action during the next game by turning back the Wilmington Red Devils' bid for victory. The score of Brandywine's first Blue Hen Conference victory was 59 to 45. ln the following clash, Brandywine was handed a disappointing defeat at the hands of the Colonials of William Penn. The final tally was 42-46. Brandywine overpowered visiting De La Warr High School by a score of 50-39, chalking up its third victory. The Tigers of Alexis I. du- Pont hosted Brandywine in the second contest between llhe Team the two teams. The Tiger courtmen were again subdued by the Bulldogs with a score of 55 to 47. Mount Pleasant proved to be a tough opponent as the Green Knights turned back Brandywine's move for vic- tory. The Knights registered 68 points to Brandywine's 54. The Bulldogs were beaten 49-51 in their second en- counter with Conrad Senior High School. Brandywine dropped its thirteenth game 49-67 to the Dynamiters of P. S. duPont. An earlier defeat at the hands of the Yellow-iackets of Newark was avenged by Brandywine's defeat of that team 45-39. William Penn was the next school to fall victim to Brandy- wine's fast-moving five. The victory tally was 60-49. Continuing their Confer- ence winning streak, the Bull- dogs again turned back the Wilmington Red Devils by a score of 62 to 54. In its final Blue Hen basket- ball contest, Brandywine was victorious over De La Warr Senior High School 47 to 46. This game gave the Bulldogs a 6-8 Conference record, and fourth place among its eight competitors. Wrapping up the season with a non-conference en- counter with Claymont High School, Brandywine dropped its tenth game in eighteen starts by a 47 to 56 score. Quarter quart. Stretch! The end. ln?

As Mrs. Mary Quinlan Foley so aptly stated, Some may call it energy, others spirit, but I attribute our success to hustle. Brandywine High School opened their 1959 season by tying an unscheduled game with Mount Pleasant 3-3. ln their second clash they topped Claymont 2-1, but were defeated in their following three games by Tatnall, Alexis I. duPont, and Tower Hill Schools. Snapping back from a deficit of one point, the team scalped the Indians of Conrad. The girls lost their final two games to excellent squads from William Penn and Friends. Judging from the fine performance of the underclass- men, the girls are looking forward to a more successful season next year on their own field. Brandywine Mt.

The girls will always remember the William Penn and Conrad games. The Penn game was the first team played, and though they lost, it was by only one point. Brandywine emerged triumph- ant after defeating Conrad. Brandywine's winning girls iunior varsity team foreshadows good things to come in future years. Although many of the games were close, the team managed to show their skill and enthusiasm by coming out on top.

II6 Ambassadors From Abroad GEORGIA VROUSTOURI The American Field Service, although new to Brandywine, has been in existence a number of years. Through this worthwhile program, hundreds of students have been sent to foreign countries, during which time they work and live with adopted families. As ambassadors of good will from their respective nations, their aims are to help reduce world tension and conflict through mutual under- standing and to provide for a cultural exchange among nations. The exchange program is sup- ported by funds raised by the student council and the P.T.A. Each organization contributes 5650, the amount needed to take care of one foreign student. In order for a student to become a part of this vast program, he must prove his eligibility through interviews and tests. He must have excellent grades, a congenial personality, and he must be adaptable. Competition is keen, and those who are selected represent the best of the nation's youth. Brandywine High School participated in the American Field Service program for the first time last year, first, by sending Nancy Miller as its representative in competition for the Winter Program, and sec- ond in preparation for our first two Exchange students, Biorn Wandall and Georgia Vroustouri. Petite and vivacious Georgia Vroustouri is from Sparta, Greece. A college-prep student and future chemist, Georgia loves dancing, gym- nastics, and children. This little elf with a big charming smile made every day at Brandywine special and exciting. Biorn E. Wandall, from Arrhus, Denmark, is an outstanding person- ality in Brandywine's student body. A master of four languages, Biorn attended Arrhus Cathedral School in Denmark. Among his interests are chess, ping-pong, literature, and the theater. This year Brandywine was again active in the A.F.S. program and chose two of its students to compete for honors in the American Field Service winter and summer program.

The Lillian Davis Chapter of the Future Teachers of America, spon- sored by Miss Simon is a club organized to introduce students to the teaching profession and to provide them with an opportunity to participate in prevocational ac- tivities. At the beginning of this year, the officers were installed, and new members were introduced at a candlelight ceremony. This was followed by a formal discussion on the question, To Teach OI' Not to Teach. Other programs have included a tour through the University of Delaware and a talk on the work for retarded children. The constitution of the club has been written and approved, and the Lillian Davis Chapter of Brandywine is now a member of the National Future Teachers of America. Honor in cholarship The Charles W. Bush Chapter of the National Honor Society of Brandywine High School is spon- sored by Miss Joan Betz.

The first section to get a real workout was the Marching Band. At all of our games, in all kinds of weather, the strains of Notre Dame Victory March could be heard coming from the white- plumed section of the bleachers. The itinerary for the Concert Band includes playing for the Delaware School Educator's Associa- tion in March. The annual Spring Concert will in- clude such highlights as: themes from Schehera- zade, Offenbach, and a contemporary compo- sition of Heather Hills with Carolyn Schweitzer as pianist. Three members of Brandywine's Band were MRIWESLEY DIEMER chosen as members of the Delaware All-State Band. They were: Gwen Narbeth, Ronny Vaughn, and Steve Kerstetter, who performed with the Delaware All-State Band at the National Music Educatcgfs Con- vention in Atlantic City.

A group ot good-looking girls provide added interest to the half-time activities ot the football games by marching with the band. They certainly must not be superstitious as there are thirteen ot them! Mr. Diemer is the lucky sponsor ot these girls. This year they began a Maiorette Club, the purpose ot which is to instruct girls who aspire to be maiorettes next year. Besides this activity, they sponsor a dance every year.

It is a group of girls selected on the basis of their scholastic achieve- ments, exceptional athletic ability in one maior sport, ability on the apparatus, knowledge of rules of all maior girls' sports, and personality and leadership. Theleader Corps is sponsored by Miss Den- linger. Its officers are: Gail Cline, president, Jane Faber, vice-president, Barbara Dougherty, treasurer, and Ellen Robinson, secretary. Late in the year there was an initiation for new members. The main purpose of Leader Corps is service, and the members have carried this out very well by selling refreshments at games, and by collecting tickets at athletic events. They spon- sored a dance at the beginning of the year where it was announced that they were 588.00 in debt! Slowly but surely they began to give financial reports written in black. The year's activities were climaxed with the second annual community spaghetti dinner, held in the spring. Finally, Leader Corps presented a gym show to the students in a special assembly. On an early November morning, four- teen acrobatically-inclined boys entertained the entire student body with breath-taking gymnastic feats. They were members of the Gym Club, who, under the direction of Mr. Snyder, have worked on various stunts on the horizontal bar, parallel bars, horse, rings, ropes, and mats. The boys meet three times a week to practice, and to polish their stunts. SEATED, left to right-A. Hosey, C. Guilford, P. Neutz, R. Carr, G. Baker, R. Brooks, D. Hickman. STANDING-J. Brooks, D.

Composed of thirteen mem- bers, it is a group formed to stimulate interest in science and to give students the opportunity to do experimental work. The two officers of the club are: Dick Vroman, the president, and Doak Conn, the secre- tary-treasurer. The activities of the Science Club include going on field trips and spon- soring programs of interest to science stu- dents. The forty members of the Dramatics Club, under the direction of Mr. Gumpert and Mr. Dennison, are divided into these committees: publicity, acting, business, props, scenery, and prompting. Their com- bined efforts resulted in the production of a three-act play, June Graduate. CSee p. 1323. Last year the club presented three one- act plays, of these, Sunday Costs Five Pesos returned from the University of Dela- ware Play Festival with several honors. Besides providing entertainment and enioyment, the Club uses its proceeds for props, scenery, make-up, and costumes for future productions, to gain experience, and to enhance their knowledge of the dramatic arts.

As a service organization, the Usher Squad performs a number of very important duties at P.T.A. meetings, movies, and dances. The members usher in the auditorium, collect tickets, and work in the cloakroom. Their polite assistance is a valuable contribution to the smooth functioning of many Brandywine activities.

Resolved: There is a Santa Claus! The six members of the Debating Club, who meet every Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Tarkenton, proved this in the annual Christmas assembly. This club proceeds according to the phiolosophy of the free exchange of ideas and a logical planned approach to intellectual understanding. They are planning debates with other high schools in this area. Left to right-Mrs. Tarkenton, M. Ullman, J. Walker, F. Bower, B, Wandell, B. Campbell. NOT SHOWN-Diane Willis.

Their president is David Potter, and their secretary Virginia Barrowclough. Photography for the Azurean, other than that done by the professional, is the club's chief function. Their other responsibilities include supplying pictures used by the newspaper, and photographing out of school activities, sports events, and dances. Any student wishing to purchase pictures will find the Photography Club ready, willing, and able. Behind the cenes A large masonite backdrop was the basis for the scenery for June Graduate, and will probably be used in future years for similar purposes. Its construction was the work of the Stage Crew, whose 17 members spent hours in building it. They worked in the wood shop to complete the structure, which was unusual in its durability.

The answer, of course, was when Jean Provence's three-act play by that name was presented in early February by the Brandywine Dramatics Club. Directed by Mr. Gumpert and Mr. Den- nison, the 12-member cast, and the busi- ness, publicity, stage-crew, make-up and prompting committees worked together to make the production a memorable one. Assuming leading roles were Charles Guilford, Robin Whempner, Louis Mahru and Kitty Stewart, who'were supported by Sue Roedel, Hunter Viden, Butch Gosline, Sherry Landrum, Dave Potter, Gil Sparks, Barbara Clinch and Edith Chadwick. the directors the cast: BOTTOM ROW-E.

Silver Bells, Sparl-clmg Belles Rolf Eriksen, senior class president, presents dance committee chairman Martha Miller with an orchid. Early on Saturday morning, December l9, many Brandy- wine seniors could be seen scurrying around, arms loaded with either silver bells, pink ribbons, or evergreen boughs. These students were putting the finishing touches on a senior proiect that had commanded the planning and time of a great many people. This was our annual Christmas Ball, Silver Bells. We all felt our work well rewarded as we entered the mystical winter wonderland that evening. lntricate silver bells reflected blue hues from overhead lights. The music of Johnny Bennett completed this radiant, never-to-be-for- gotten scene. The evening was climaxed by the crowning of our Christmas Queen, Sherry Landrum, followed by entertain- ment in honor of her and the court.

This year will see the commencement of the first' graduating class. We are now setting a tradi- tion for all years to come. It has been the honor of this first Azurean staff to record for you the highlights of your school year of 1960. It has been an unforgettable exper- ience for all of us-the headaches, the worry, the midnight sessions, but above all, the relief and pride felt when a deadline has been met. To the Azurean staff of 1961, we wish the best yearbook ever!
