novations' in teaching. lVlany assembly pro- grams, such as guest lectures, concerts, and movies, are designed to he educational as well as entertaining. The increasing number of students at Brandywine has brought about other changes in the academic department. The guidance department, the library, even the school build- ing itself have had to grow to keep up with the population explosion. The schedule was changed last year so that each class meets for a longer class period, but only four days a week. This allows more time for presentation, homework, and emphasis on different sub- jects. As new information becomes available in any subject, the curriculum will expand to in- clude the new material. As more and more students enter BHS, the academic departments will continue to expand to meet the needs of the students. We are confident that the aca- demic program,will be an ever-increasing one.
