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
