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. ABOVE-Football Cheerleaders: R. Whempnen, B. McLaren, P. Bellezza, M. Miner, Diana Dukes, S. Landrum, Donna Dukes, K. Herbert, R. Humme, P. Evers. New Basketball Cheerleaders, BELOW-D. Stout, B. Marshall, V. Twaddell, K. Luedeke. Kathie Luedeke, head maiorette Brandyvvine's tremendous school spirit can be traced to her ten en- thusiastic cheerleaders who have led the cheering section at all games and pep rallies. Working diligently during after-school hours under the sponsorship of Miss Eva Denlinger, these girls have suc- ceeded in working out the motions and vvords for over thirty cheers. Led by Captains Sherry Landrum and Peggy Evers, the cheerleading squad has done much to establish the motto, They never leave at Brandywine High. ' - '-' .ms.....,4....,mt

Marchin f Players The Brandywine Band, under the direction of Mr. Diemer, has grown increasingly melodious as the year has progressed. 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.

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.
