Faced with the iob of preparing Brandywine High School's first year- book, the Azurean staff members have often burned midnight oil and have spent weekends planning, writing, typ- ing, editing, and sketching. Under editor-in-chief Peggy Mac- Robert, the staff fsee p. l36D worked to record the story of the school year 1959-60 in words and pictures. Duties are divided among the fol- lowing: the editorial section, which is responsible for planning the yearbook, gathering information, writing copy, and generally overseeing work on all pages, the art section, which creates covers, end-pages, lay-outs, and illustra- tions, the photography section, which assists and supplements work done by a professional studio, the typing section, which translates the editoral section's henscratchp and the business section, which has supervised ticket sales and has planned the Cupid Caper dance.

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. Dr. Jenkins introduces Biorn and Georgia to Brandywine. ' L iffl':Epi:iiilfiiIi3ii??5Tf57ii5?f'5: fE'WLEEFVI
