A Message From Dr. Nelson Three years ago all of you received a notice that tenth grade students would no longer be sent to neighboring high schools. 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.
