,.-ab' 'xg --4 'mem Dr. Richard P. Gousha, the new State Superintendent of schools, talks with Dr. Jenkins. Letter from Dr. Jenkins: My, how you have grownl Five years ago most of you, the Class of 1964, were squeaky, squirming little seventh graders at Springer Junior High School. My, how you have grown! And Brandywine has grown up with you. Yes, we have grown taller and olderg but more than that, we have matured together. Though our school is yet an infant, we have experienced a growth and a changing educational pattern that has brought us far beyond our years. We have grown from 491 to 1200 students, 29 to 97 course offerings, 3 to 14 interscholastic athletic teams, a staff of 21 to 65 teachers, a class of 115 graduates to a class of 335, and from 25 to 65 activity groups. In the process our identity has been established. No ivy is clinging to our walls, and yet we have established traditions: scholastic excellence, the spirited lVlt. Pleasant- Brandywine battles, the Senior Lounge, HWhite Christmas, Senior Day, the Christmas Dance, the Latin Banquet, and many more. But our past is barely historyg our present newly identifiedg our future yet to be determined. But have we really changed? The aging process is replaced with youth, classes come and gog the academic learner still takes first place in import- anceg and our school spirit lingers on. Change is unchanging, for YOU have created and been a part of the life-line that is and will be BRANDYWINE HIGH SCHOOL. DR. THOMAS JENKINS Principal of Brandywine High School 5 I I ffm'

A GUIDANCE FUTURE TELLER In five years, the Guidance Department personnel had ex- panded from one full-time staff member, MR.

In 1962-1963 alone, the Brandywine Guidance Department area increased to include two more counselor's offices and in 1963-1964, three teacher-parent conference rooms. To bring Brandywine to the attention of colleges and universities throughout the country, our counselors have traveled over twenty thousand miles to visit schools. of higher learning. The Guidance Department subscribed to approximately fifteen hundred college catalogues, the offices often filled with college-hound students looking at these and using the other resource materials. For students who wished to seek employment immediately after graduation. tests were administered to help find the job they were best equipped to fill. The co-op program, was just another way in which the counselors lend a helping hand. All students received aid from their counselors in curriculum planning, in placement, and in deciding which of the innumerable tests offered they might most profitably take. MR. JOHN F.
