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

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. 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.
