Past Reunions: "The more things change ..."
Don't we still feel like the same people inside? Here are photographs from a few of our earlier reunions, which prove that the more things change, the more WE stay the same!
Newsmakers
We made the news! Here are some newspaper clippings from "back in the day!"Not a look you wanted to face! Fortunately, Step was one of the nicest guys around! 1 of 15It looks like George used a stunt double for this photo of senior football stalwarts for the 1962 season. 2 of 15
Yeah, we kicked their asses!
The Bulldogs drove a Ford to roll all over the Green Knights. 3 of 15
Chevie and Nick congratulate each other on ... er, well, on being Chevie and Nick! 4 of 15
"Who wears short shorts?"
Stew, Hitch and Nick were ready to provide senior leadership to some pretty talented underclassmen. 5 of 15
"Brandywine High pulled the biggest upset of the Delaware scholastic basketball season ...!" Nick had 9 and Stew had 8 in front of a capacity crowd at home. 6 of 15
The Bulldogs took their 11th in a row, 59-49, amid "deafening cheering" by a standing-room-only home crowd of 1,600. 7 of 15
Back to-back state champion and outstanding wrestler! Not too shabby! 8 of 15
Phil joined Ranny as a state champion in 1963. 9 of 15
BRANDYWINE BASEBALL RULES!
(OK, the track team wasn't bad either -- State Champs 1963!) 10 of 15
This was a common headline during the 1963 track and field season, but Hitch had a lot of help from his fellow seniors -- especially the crowd favorite 880 "Arriba Brothers" - Horn, Wiley and Cline! 11 of 15
STATE CHAMPS! Hitch did his thing, but Brooks' first place finish in the pole vault was the difference! 12 of 15
The 1963 Blue - Gold All Star Football game was only the 8th one played. BHS was well represented by George Ford on the field and Polli Howard (captain) and Barbara Guilford on the sideline as members of the Blue cheerleader squad. 13 of 15
So, did he play? 14 of 15
Ron Gillis -- "Boy Mayor!"
