SERVICES THE HELPI G HAN S What would we have done without the custodians to polish the floors, clean the green boards, open up jammed lockers, and just keep the walls upright? They worked during school hours and after to keep the school neat and shining. Besides keeping Brandywine in good order, the custodians doubled as crossing guards and bus drivers and helped with sports activities and special school functions. With extraordinary patience and calm, the bus drivers drove students who lived more than two miles from Brandy- wine to school each morning and home each afternoon. For the early-bird risers and those who were engaged after school with various clubs and organizations, activity buses were provided to carry the students to and from school. About the only thing that hadn't changed since Brandy- wine began was the price of the platter-it was still thirty cents. Each day Mrs. Taylor and her staff continued to prepare enough nourishing and satisfying lunches to feed all the hungry Brandywiners in Lunches '4A,,' 'cB,', and Cf Special attention was given to the menu on various holidays and low-calorie meals were provided for the weight-conscious members of athletic teams. All the litterbugs of Brandywine were extremely grateful to hard-working custodians like Mr. Way, upper right, whom we all call Happy, who struggled faithfully to keep the hall- ways clear. We all enjoyed the hot mid-day meals prepared by the cafeteria staff, next page, upper right.

U LIRSE, DRIVER ED. SAFETY FIRST Our nurse was responsible for the safe-keeping of 1.201 accident-prone Brandywiners. Although this was Mrs. Greggis first year here, she quickly learned to distinguish the actual casualties from those sudden, acute cases of Htestitusf, Three times this year, in addition to handling the myriads of school medical forms and the annual chest X-rays, Mrs. Gregg distributed sugar cubes which had been delicately flavored with Sabine vaccine. To handle the increasing number of students, the nurse's quarters were enlarged last summer so that Brandywine had a regular infirmary. There has certainly been a change in the Driver,s Educa- tion program since l06O, when there was only one teacher who spent two days each week teaching on an automatic-shift car. This year's 150 new drivers had a choice between which type of car---stick shift or autoniaticgto learn on. and what type of course to takef-every day for six weeks, twice a week for a semester. or once a week for the year. There were three full-time teachers and three cars in the driver edv program. Practice with mechanical devices. work from a text-book. and movies. along with eight hours of actual driving was the general make-up of the course. AIRS. SUSAN P. GRECG fll lvvilkes-Barre General Hos- pital.
