As eighth graders, w e f e l t superior to our underclassmen, t h e seventh graders, a n d learned the m e t r i c s y s tem in eighth grade science. W e d i d n ' t get caught running in the halls as often as the year before.

E v e r y o n e t o o k freshman English a n d soon became expert at conjugating verbs. A s budding biologists we counted worm hearts, dissected fish, a n d even hatched baby chicks. Early in October we freshmen m e t our Waterloo-freshman i n i t i a t i o n . W e came to school decked out i n o u r outfits o f potato sacks, o l d hats, dresses, earrings, a n d shoes.

Our freshman year was a scream 'Cause a l l we did was dream. The teachers were holding the bats, But WE soon changed a l l that. As sophomores we began to learn, And f o r our freedom we d i d yearn. For we f i n a l l y r e a l i z e d That this was no paradise. As juniors we were very proud. And f e l t ourselves above the crowd. "Moonlight and Roses" Oh, o h , o u r poor "toeses!" Seniors are we n o w ! (But we d o n ' t see h o w ! ) With the senior t r i p and a l l , We sure had a b a l l ! Now Commencement has come, And w e ' r e not q u i t e so dumb. It's been a l o n g , l o n g m i l e , But i t ' s a l l been worthwhile. Nancy Warzniak Sue Ann Ward Jerry Kubasiak 1954-55 1 9 5 Advisors: M i s s Wilson, M r .

When the lights dimmed i n the g y m the night o f November 22, t h e large audience present saw the Class o f 1958 present: W i l l i a m Davidson's lighthearted f a m i l y comedy i n three-acts, "Brother Goose." The action i n the play takes place i n the l i v i n g room o f the Adams home, w h e r e Jeff Adams, the oldest brother, attempts t o earn a l i v i n g and be mother and father t o his younger brother, Wes, a n d sisters, C a r o l and Hyacinth. J e f f ' s troubles only begin when Helen, t h e housekeeper, quits. T h e y continue t o mount as Peggy Winkle comes on the scene t o become the Adams' new housekeeper. L e n o r e , Jeff's fiance, disapproves of the whole thing, a n d Mrs. T r i m m e r , o f the Wee Blue Inns, threatens to cancel Jeff's architecture contract. I n the m e a n t i m e , Wes is m a d l y pursuing Eve Mason, a Southern g i r l , w h o has moved i n next door, a n d H y and Peggy are w o r k ing out football strategy for the "Palace o f Sweets Saber- To o t h Ti g e r s , " aided by Sarah, t h e Masons' Negro m a i d . There was much h i l a r i t y before Jeff f i n a l l y won a permanent housekeeper and g o t the f a m i l y back on an even keel. The cast, w h i c h was assisted b y an e ff i c i e n t production staff, extend thanks t o their director, Miss Patricia Chisholm. �"Come Out of the Closet" g p i i r t r i • Sr " C' I g d d r R a i effi e a " . l 117' 4 4 1 Seated, l e f t to right: M .

Schafer, George; 13, Hehnke, Hercules; B. Sieger, Abby; S. Rumsey, Guthrie Rosewater. Three girls from Ohio - Hilda, Irene, and Jenny - are compelled by circumstances to rent an old, gloomy, run-down apartment from a greedy landlady on their first night in New York. And W H AT a night i t turns out to be! Trying to save money, H i l d a and Irene tell Mrs. M a l o n e , t h e money-mad landlady, that Jenny is merely a friend who is helping them move in, J e n n y will have to hide in the supposedly unused closet - when and i f the key can be found. Unfortunately for Jenny, she isn't there to protest the scheme, Directly across the hall live Mr. and Mrs. Cutter and their week-old baby. A n d then there is Guthrie Rosewater, probably the most modern of the modernistic poets. " E l d e r l y " Abbie Phillips, his "Muse," is taken with fits of screaming, and Jenny is so shaken that she hires Hercules Jones as a bodyguard. H e r c u l e s and Irene's fiance, George, have an argument about who should protect the girls, and things really begin to pop when Officer Sweeny comes on the scene. "Come out of the Closet," a mystery-comedy, was directed for the Juniors by Miss Patricia Chisholm. �Hi-Times First row, l e f t t o right: J . H o f f e r, Editor; E. Shook, Sponsor; M .

Nancy Blain Carol Polzynski �Class History IN OURSELVES, O U R F U T U R E LIES In each of the young, un-polished freshmen gathered for the first class meeting of the class of 1956 was a promise of a bright future. A s we indulge i n a few nostalgic memories of the four years that most of these freshmen have spent together in Bronson High, w e realize that we have enriched those bright future years w i t h not only the knowledge acquired in our classrooms, b u t w i t h lasting friendships as w e l l . That year we were freshmen was an adventure, f r o m i n i t i a t i o n to counseling day. O u r officers were: P h i l Himebaugh, president; David Travis, v i c e president; Shirley Hollister, secretary; Ross Byers, treasurer; Marilynn Paul and Jerry Nowak, student council representatives; and Connie Polcrynski, assembly committee representative. W e became acquainted with each other and the customs of high school, a n d w i t h the necessity o f earning money for our objectives, t h e Prom and the Senior Tr i p . Officers for our sophomore year were: P h i l Himebaugh, president; Jerry Houghton, v i c e president; Marilynn Paul, secretary; B e t t y Horkey, treasurer; Gretchen Cuyler and Jean Rierson, student council representatives; and David Travis, assembly committee representative. B e g i n n i n g to realize how short our stay i n high school was to be, w e settled down to make money in earnest. W i t h a l l kinds of class projects to work on, w e also began to study i n earnest, f o r to graduate would take more than money. Soon we were juniors. W e were busier by far than ever before. O u r a l l - i m p o r t a n t money- m a k i n g projects included selling refreshments at home games, baked goods sales, s e l l i n g peanut brittle, a n d having cake raffles. O u r officers were: P h i l Himebaugh, president; John Arundel, v i c e president; D i x i e Kehoe, secretary; Bob Smoker, treasurer; Judy Martin and Charles Bertsch, student council representatives; and Jerry Nowak, assembly committee representative. When we received our class rings, w e thought they were the most beautiful any class had ever ordered. Our play, " M r . C o - e d , " was another proud achievement, as was the Prom. T h e m e of the banquet and dance was "Dreamland." Suddenly we were seniors. W i t h our main financial objective our senior trip, w e had baked goods sales, c a r washes, scrap drives, sold Christmas cards, a n d took magazine subscriptions; dedicating nearly every Saturday to our class. W e elected as officers: P h i l Himebaugh, president; Ross Byers, v i c e president; Ruth Ann Gregg, secretary; W i l m a Merriman, treasurer; Norma Hopkins and Gretchen Cuyler, student council representatives; and Marjorie Hovda, assembly committee representative. We began to work on our annual early i n the year. O t h e r important events throughout the year were getting our senior pictures, a n d producing another play. Another night o f stardust and happy memories, this t i m e in our honor, was the 1956 Prom. AS we enjoyed the trip we had worked long and hard for, w e began to realize just how near our bright future was. We returned to baccalaureate, class day and graduation. G r a d u a t i o n —night of endings and of larger beginnings. Night of regret for the now-past happy hours spent in high school; night of smiles and bright hope for what lies ahead. We truly believe that our future lies in ourselves, a n d we believe that future w i l l be f u l l o f good things, f o r we believe i n ourselves, o u r country, a n d most of a l l , w e believe i n God.

This past school year has been a very enjoyable year especially for the members of the choir. T h e y started the year out right by singing at the Thanksgiving Assembly. Later, most of the choir traveled to Kalamazoo to see Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. The Choir is planning to produce their second operetta in the spring, and from past experience, we are sure that this year's operetta will be a big success. This year's choir is composed of two freshmen, nine sophomores, fifteen juniors, and eighteen Seniors. Jim Lane �4 sextette Row I L. t o R .

The first rung of the ladder was the election of our freshmen officers: president, Jerome M a n ; vice president, Bob Berry; secretary, Sharon Edgington; treasurer, W a l l y Wanar; student council representatives, D o n Rubley and Ronnie Krzyzanski; and assembly committee representatives, M a r l a A l b r i g h t and Ronnie Kibiloski. O u r second and third steps were the freshmen i n i t i a t i o n and the beginning of our high school worries: e a r n i n g money for what seemed the far distant "Prom" and "Senior T r i p . " The summer f l e w b y and soon we were sophomores. W e began to build again when we elected our new officers: president, To m Kehoe; vice president, L e e Ulrich; secretary, Sharon Edgington; treasurer, Northa Crabill; student council, Joan Keeslar and John Calhoun; assembly committee, Joanne Keckler and Jerome M a n . We worked very hard on the next few steps of our steadily growing ladder: sandwich sales, s e l l i n g pennants, c u p cakes sales, a n d various ways of earning money. A s sophomores, w e gave an assembly which comprised the ninth rung. W e a l l enjoyed working on that successful assembly which was an initation of an "Arthur Godfrey Show" w i t h the l i t t l e Godfreys, commercials, a n d a l l . Juniors at last, a n d how fast our ladder was t o be extended in this year. O u r tenth step was the election o f officers. T h e y were: Jerome M a n , president; Jim Lane, v i c e president; Sharon Edgington, secretary, M a r l a Albright, treasurer; Mary Burnside and Jim Lane, student council; Denny Davidson, assembly committee. We added to our growing ladder by selling refreshments at a l l our home games, h o l d i n g cake raffles during half time o f the basketball games, a n d selling magazine subscriptions. In the early part of September we received our class rings, w h i c h proclaimed to a l l that the proud possessors were getting nearer to their goal. A n o t h e r step in our junior year, b u t not the least by far, was added when we held our play, " G l a m o u r Boy" which was presented by sixteen boys and girls of our class. The sixteenth rung, shining and bright, was added on the evening of May 8 when we gave our first b i g formal banquet and dance, t h e Prom, honoring the seniors of '54. T h e theme o f our prom was "Springtime i n Paris. " The acceptance o f the cane from the seniors on class day marked the end of our junior year. The completion of our ladder was in sight, a n d we worked steadily toward our goal. W e constructed our eighteenth rung with the election of officers f o r our senior year: president, J i m Lane; vice president, June Williamson; secretary, Sharon Edgington; treasurer, M a r l a Albright; student council, K a r l Behnke and Ronnie Kibiloski; assembly committee, B i l l Ritter. The nineteenth, twentieth, a n d twenty first steps were formed with the sale o f Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions and a penny supper. O t h e r steps were added by the A l l H i Parties, f l o a t s i n Halloween and Christmas parades and paper and scrap drives which we had every year of our high school days along with many other activities. At the beginning of the year, w i t h pen and pencil i n hand, w e set forth to draw up an annual winch is called "The ' 5 5 Viking. " Time was running short, a n d s t i l l more steps were needed before we reached our goal. T h e next one, number thirty nine, was smeared a l i t t l e w i t h make-up as we displayed our talents with another play. Rung number fourty one, sparkling with stardust and bright music, m a r k e d our second and last formal dance, the ' 5 5 Prom, g i v e n in our honor by the juniors. O u r goal was but one step further, t h e end o f our four years of study, w o r k , a n d pleasure. W e took our accumulated assets, and as a class, m a d e a five d a y trip to New Yo r k City. W e came back to baccalaureate, t h e n class day, a n d f i n a l l y our goal - - graduation, b u t as we received our diplomas and stood with them i n hand, w e realized that although we had reached our goal, t h e extension of our ladders should not stop. T h i s was just the beginning. T h e r e would be more goals to reach as tim e went by and i t would be up to us to work toward them and achieve them with success. So, a r m e d w i t h the knowledge and the friendships we have acquired during the last four years, w i t h confidence in ourselves and trust in God, w e , t h e Senior Class of 1955, b i d good bye to our carefree school days and set out to accomplish our aims in l i f e .

Charles Atkocunis was the coach of the B Squad f o r this season, and he deserves many thanks from both the team and the fans, as he has provided the boys with the s p i r i t to do the best they can.

He l e d his team through a highly s u c cessfull season, ending with thirteen wins and one loss, a nonconference game, w i t h Sturgis. In his s i x t h year a t Bronson, M r . Nicolette had a hand in every s p o r t except track, which he had previously coached f o r f o u r years. He coached not only Va r s i t y Basketball, but also the r e s e r v e football squad and the baseball team. As the whistle blew and the l a s t contest of the 1954 football season came to an end, the f i n a l m a r k was r e c o r d e d in the coaching c a r e e r o f Bronson's beloved football coach, Charles Hilton.

Retaining his f a v o r i t e mode o f play, the single wing, he saw his team wind up the '54 season with a five, one and one r e c o r d , losing to Homer and tying with Quincy. The team this y e a r, exceptionally solid, averaging out at 180 pounds, t i e d for second place. "Coaches" r e t i r e m e n t is a great loss to Bronson High.

But oh! h o w fleeting, now they seem Almost like a nice long dream. "They are the best years of your l i f e ' We have often been told-Looking back they seem more precious than gold. Years filled with laughter, joy and delight And just a few heartaches, but skies were soon bright. How faithful our teachers, these many long years-Though I'm sure we often nearly drove them to tears. Especially in "study hall"--queer name for that place r w a s i n there that we really tried our dear teachers grace. What experiments we made in our "chem.' laboratory How did they turn out? Well, that another story! And the school sports--what a thrill i t was to see The many times our team won the victory! Among our many memories, these are just a few-In closing we'd like to odd our appreciation true To dear parents, teachers, and friends like you! �Dedicate We, the Seniors of 54, wish to didicate our annual to the community and especially to our parents. Through our school years, we have received support, both financial and spiritial, from our parents. Our appreciation is extended to the community for its help and understanding of our many problems. Now that we are going to continue our education on a basis of competition, we believe, we especially owe our gratitude to all who so greatly aided us in our process 1of growing up. Phyllis Joan Fox �Board of Education Bertram B. Ward Robert Ryan Treasurer Laurence Wohlers Secretary Floyd Brauker Trustee Bruce Kaufman Trustee The Board of Education has the most important job around school. Their job is to set up the school's budget, to handle the teachers' salaries, take care of all the country schools, and do just about everything else you can think of. The officers are as follows: President -- Bert Ward Secretary -- Laurence Wohlers Treasurer -- Robert Ryan They meet with Mr. Carpenter the second Wednesday evening of every month. The Board of Education has cooperated with Mr. Carpenter in hiring all our teachers, and we think they have done a very good job. They take care of all our worries for us. No one can compete with them in the work they are doing. We are proud to have them with us. Jeanne Wohlers �Administration Mr. George E.

Mrs. Marie Tracy has very efficiently filled this position. N o t only do we depend on Mrs. Tracy for the keeping of our school records, but also for most of the other problems that arise during the school day. She helps to see that everything goes smoothly, both in the high school and in the Anderson building. Besides her many activites in our school system, she also has proved herself a very active member of the community. The seniors wish to extend their appreciation to "Marie" for her cooperation with us during our high school years. Sonya Palmatier. Ruby Jean Rubly.

To accomplish the feat this year, a staff of fifteen seniors was chosen by the Senior class sponsors and officers. T h e y are as follows: Co-editors: Richard Killian, Elizabeth Bidwell, Advertising: Sammy DeVor, Karl Hoffer, Keith Wohlers, Business: J o h n Klemmer, Ruth Rierson, Story Editors: P a u l Kern, Phyllis Fox, Photography: William Calhoun, Sonya Palmatier, A r t Editors: L i l l i a n Stebleton, Shirley Harrison, Sports Editors: F r a n k Ross, Roberta Deranek. This year the Annual was a class project and the staff acted as directors. I t is the Co-editors' job to oversee everything. Soliciting for advertising i s quite a job, because i t all has to be done outside of school on the students own time. It is up to the business managers to sell the Annual and take care of all the details dealing with the money angle. The story editors have a job getting all the stories and details in on time. All the photographs were handled by Craine's Studios of Detroit, but it was the photography department's job to get a picture taking schedule set up that would not conflict with classes and other things. The art department has carried out a rather clever theme, which took lots of time and imagination. Last, but not least, was the sports department, which had charge of all sports activities. In closing, your co-editors would just like to say, "Thank you, class, for all the hard work you have done on thie Annual which they think is the best ever.* Elizabeth Bidwell ��JOANNE HOLL ISTER Class Secretary 1,4 4-H 1 Hi Times 1,2,4 F.

Signed, sealed, and declared by the Class of '54 to be their last will and testament. Patricia Andrews Phyllis Fox Paul Kern �Class Prophecy Onwhom do you suppose Louella Parsons was giving the scoop over the radio last night? None other than the witty class of '54. The first familiar names to catch our attention were those of Raymond Kosmerick, Bill Losinski, Robert Miller, and Fred Schlautmann, who are diving for technicolor jelly fish. Giving them competition is another accomplished field is Bill Wingfield, George Phinney, and Dean Akins christening their discovery of a jet propelled raft. The glaring headlines of the Hodunk Gazette, edited by Richard Killian, blare out the exciting news that vivacious Sally Spade has just replaced Marilyn Monroe and will be starring with Richard Hovda in "Lolipops for Two." Another replacement is Westinghouse's Betty Furness by Jean Wohlers. The world's most noted playboy, Ronald Crampton, has just netted over a million with the selling of those much heard about "Greasless Pigs." I guess that will make his most recent toy, Norma Metzger, over While not surprised over Ronnie's good fortune, we were astonished to hear of the recent death of "Red Hot Mama", Sophie Tucker. However, she is being replaced by Elizabeth Bidwell. Here's the marriage news. Phyllis Hartman and Tom Duke, the spinister and the hermit, are to be united in the not so near future. Phyllis Hathaway, Judy Fifer, Phyllis Walker, and Joanne Hollister are the brides of the week. The ceremonies were performed by the Reverend Charles Collins. As these names were batting on our eardrums, we pulled our chairs closer and closer to the radio. There were many celebraties with whom we are well acqwinted. Fran Kruszka is practicing with the Detroit Tigers. He is trying to replace Trucks as pitcher. His ardent fan, Sammy DeVor, is always cheering him on, even at practices. Waterboy for State's championship football team is Marvin Holt, and helping him carry the buckets is Wanda Greeley. The title will be decided Friday night when Shirley Harrison and Betty Nutt, the light weight wrestlers, meet at Madison Square Garden. Gordon Albright is now teaching a girls' Physical Education class at Yale with Eleanore Bash as his model student, And now for businesses recently started. Franklin Ross, with his shining glory as an example, is now operating a Beauty Shoppe in Paris with Ruth Rierson as a steady and also a special customer. This should interest all you fashion wise women. Curtis Butters' Grand Opening of his lingerie shop, The Lacy Unmentionables, will be Easter, '65. A l l styles will be shown to their best advantages by Karl Hoffer and Ronald Modert. The Lane Bros. store has recently been changed to Wotta and Smoker Inc. L o i s Deal, manager of the unemployment office, says that Nathan Coats is becoming a permanent fixture. Sharon Hoard and Phyllis Nimes are the owners of the new "Arf-Mew Motel." I f any of your pets aren't sleeping well nights send them to the motel for real comfort. If any of ycu listeners would care to have your portrait painted, the different and unique style of Sonya Palmatier will satisfy you. With each portrait you receive an autographed picture of Lois McNall. You will be greeted with a friendly smile from Vera Brower, receptionist. Margaret Kalvin's "Buy Wrong" store, where you always buy right, is having a special sale on grimy grits and smell-free onions. Patty Andrews is also in business with Margaret. Patty now has on the market, the new giant economy size "Crunchy Hersheys." Your kids will love the Hersheys. (The candy bars we are referring to.) Gerald Brewer and Norman Dixon will entertain your children while you shop. �Mb. Class Prophecy Here's the news you have been waiting for, the Broadway Hits! The smash hit, "The Curtain That Didn't Rise" starring Bill Calhoun, popular vocalist, is still trying its best to fill the first row. Although the curtain didn't rise, it had a dependable curtain puller, Charlotte Blain. As usual the Funiety, managed and viewed every night by Bob Laughry, was filled to capacity Monday night for their annual "Everything Goes" show. First on the program was the tapping feet and flying hands of Marilyn Kosmerick, Delores Lutz, Barbara Sobeski, and Roberta Deranek. Next, Iris Stull and Janice Barber doing their interpretation of the principal interest of Hawaii, (the Hula). The star attraction of the evening was Mary Ann Weaver and Ruby Jean Rubley performing the "Dance of the Snakes." John Klemmer and Leonard Signeski, who were as near the stage as possible, said the dance was exceptionally well done. The delicate voices of Janice Vorce and Norma Walker were calling "Candy, gum, If you happen to be driving through the deserts of Arizona, you may hear the cry of "going my way" from Janice Pask and Rolene Riffenburg who were stranded there three years ago. Let's see what's new on the campuses. Lois Jean Hunsicker, coed at P. U. State, gave a detailed description of the exciting escapade in which Nick Whorley and Keith Wohlers blew up the girls dorm, just experimenting. Mary Ann Shaw says all the girls are real gone over the new Chemistry Professor, Dale Hart. We laughed when we heard Paul Kern, the wheel of P. U. is raising worms for the indigestion of future freshmen. On the farm front, we hear that Ruth Heineman is being helped on her 600 acre flea farm by Lillian Stebleton and Carl Walker. They say she raises some astonishingly brilliant fleas. In a similar catagory is Jeanne Conklin, running the Norton Dwarf and Midget farm. And now our sympathy to Gene King, Dare Devil Motorcyclist, at the Germ Center, who has just been operated on by the noted brain surgeon, Melvin Albright, and his assistant, Phyllis Fox, famous toenail specialist. We hope his intestines will successfully expand once again. As you can see, all have done well for themselves, and if this happened in ten years, what could happen in twenty? Phyllis Fox Patty Andrews Paul Kern Josh Hovda �. 1 1 1 L (16 v • 16....411Se, CURTI E PATTYClass History M A R I LY N SHAW In September 1950, 89 freshmen enrolled, this being the biggest class on record. T h i s was the class of '54. Under the wing of Miss Anderson, we learned the rules of parliamentary procedure in class meetings, consideration for other people's property, and how to follow B. H. S.'s motto of always being a lady or a gentleman. N e x t came the terrifying event of the freshmen initiation. After being tarred and feathered, given shocks, walking the plank, and bobbing for apples, we became the full fledged class of '54. Considering we were only freshmen, we had the responsibility of decorating the gym for A l l -Hi parties and furnishing a floor show. We also received recognition for a splendid job. Receiving first prize for our Halloween float was another accomplishment. During our Sophomore year, we obto.ned fund.; for our long awaited senior trip by sandwich sales. We also presented an assembly for the High School. A large number of our boys were privileged to play Varsity sports and to share the championships. We were encouraged and advised by Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Hilton. T h e high light of the year was the detailed duplication of a Roman banquet with the school board as honored guests. T h i s was presented under the supervision of Mr. Berriman. As juniors, we had an exceptionally memorable year. D u e to the fact that our senior year was quickly approaching, we began trying to increase our funds. We did this by selling refreshments at all home games. O n November 21, 1952 a three act comedy, •Down to Earth," was presented to a capacity crowd, under the very capable direction of Miss Patricia Chisholm. Another unique idea was a carnival under supervision of our advisors, Mrs. Tharp, Mr. Berriman, and Mr. French. I t was presented in the school with all the earmarks of a true carnival. Some of the highlights were "Spill B o b o , " " A Night Club," and 'Basketball To s s . " O u r funds were also increased with the aid of cupcake sales and an all-our scrap and paper drive. T h e most spectacular event of the year was the prom. T h e delicious dinner was served at the Alderman-Luce Memorial Home. T h e n , everyone journeyed to the auditorium where they were surprised to see the gym converted into a star l i t sky with the main emphasis being on our theme "Stairway to the Stars." Last, but not least, comes this-our senior year, the busiest and most exciting year of all. W i t h all. W i t h all thoughts of our five days in Washington in mind, we planned many various activities such as a Penny Supper, magazine and baked goods sales, and the sale of Christmas cards. F o u r teen of the seventy-seven graduates have been classmates for 12 years: B i l l Wingfield, Phyllis Fox, Nathan Coats, Iris Stull, Nich Whorley, Margaret Kalvin, Robert Laughry, Ruth Rier son, Phyllis Walker, Janice Vorce, L o i s Hunsicker, Judy Fifer, Phyllis Hartman, and Phyllis Hathaway. In the various extra-curricular activities, the class of '54 has participated with excellent records in all cases. N o w we are approaching the final phrase of our high school career which includes our baccalaureate commencement services. As the class of 1954 leaves, we take with us all our cherished memories of our four short years in B. H. S. We will treasure the friends we have make and our many good times, but we will also be branching out into wider horizons. S o we just wish to express our gratitude to the teachers, advisors, and to all those who have made our four years of high school memorable ones. Phyllis Fox Paul Kern ELLIE FOXIE K El E JEANIE 46N �Vck ..11 • gir- ERGODUAIES The junior class has had a very prosperous year and had $833.33 in the treasury by January. They are seventy-six in number and each one has worked hard to make this a successful year. T h e juniors have had scrap drives, cake raffles, game refreshments, and various other endeavors to make money for that long awaited day, the senior trip. Our sophomores are very promising as every six weeks they turn up someone with an all-A record. T h e y h i t a l i t t l e hard luck, for the class of '56 was the first class not allowtd to have sandwich sales. T h e y came up fighting though, and made money in spite of i t all. The 'green" l i t t l e freshmen are no longer green to the ways and whys of B.H.S.. We didn't get a chance to welcome them in with an old-fashioned initiation; but, never-the-less, we enjoyed having them one of us, and we wish them the best of luck in their future three years. Well, on to the junior high. Now, I'm undecided what to write. Yo u know how i t is. When you get to be a senior and strut around the halls with your head up in the air, you never notice anyone like a junior high student, at least not until you get knocked out of the way by a streak of them heading for a class. T h e n they're noticed, but not too pleasantly. We have one hundred and sixty-three in junior high this year and we wish every one of them many happy memories of this year and years to come which are spent in our alma mater, B. H. S.

Despite a late start and raise in price, the Council had a fair membership. T h e Student Council has held A l l -Hi parties; and, for the first time, sponsored sock dances after home basketball games. T h e y have sold sweatshirts with Viking head and school name on them, set up cheerleaders code, headed the noon recreation program, helped the formulation of the Burr Oak Student Union constiutu ion, and held the Viking Review. Five representatives attended the Citizenship Conference at Ann Arbor, bringing back many suggestions that were used by the Council, such as the sale of sweatshirts for a money making project. Elections are held in the fall in the same manner as state governor, with campaign speakers and final election by students. T h e aldermen (two members from each class) are elected by the classes. The meeting are held every Monday with the president in charge and with an advisor present. �HiTimes Row 3 L . t o R . : K . W i l s o n , J . H o l l i s t e r, J . Walker, C . P e a r c e , J .

F o x (Recorder) The Bronson Hi-Times had a fine year under the supervision of Mr. Sini, who was new to our teaching staff this year. Many other changes were made in the school paper this year besides the supervisor. Instead of having an editor-in-chief and various co-editors, the staff all worked together, with Lois Jean Hunsicker acting as chairman at the meetings, which were held every Friday at 4:00. A t these meetings, the staff discussed ways in which the columns could be improved and changed, and perhaps a new column was added. A l s o , the "Student of the Week" was chosen. T h e Student of the Week was a new idea, and went over very well with all the Hi-Times readers. The biggest improvement was that, instead of having all the extra work and confusion of printing and setting up the paper, i t was done for us by the Bronson Journal. Thanks to the cooperation of Mr. Burgess, a one-half page of our town paper was devoted entirely to the Hi-Times. N o t only did this make things easier for the staff, but also enabled us to have pictures taken of the various events. The staff, as a whole, worked hard to produce a fine news section for all High School students as well as adults to enjoy. I n spite of the new ideas, which were put over, much time was saved. They tried to cover all activities instead of just a few. C l u b news, sports events, dances, editorials, the literary page, and social activities, are just a few of the things covered by them Much of our success is due to the wonderful supervision which Mr. Sini gave us. Most of his supervision was in the form of advice rather than demands, yet without him i t would have been impossible to keep things running smoothly on schedule. We would like to wish next years staff good luck and hope their ideas are well received as ours were. S a m m y DeVor. �Air AssemblyCommittee Row 2 L . t o R . : J . D a v i s , N . C o a t s , D .

The Assembly Committee is composed of a representative from each class in the high school and junior high. This year, the committee is under the capable leadership of Mr. Joseph Sini. Representatives from each class are as follows: seventh grade, Janet Davis; eighth grade, Stanley Neihart; freshman class, Gloria Herman; sophomore class, Kay Somerlott; junior class, Denny Davidson; senior class, Nathan Coats. Kay Somerlott is secretary of the committee. The purpose of the committee is to secure suitable programs for the student body for the coming year. This year, the students greatly enjoyed an assembly on crime and another one on magic. These assemblies were paid assemblies but others throughout the year were not. Assemblies of a more religious nature were given on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter featuring talks by local minsters. The senior class wishes to thank the Assembly Committee for their good work, keeping everyone at school entertained, amused, and informed. Nathan Coats. ����Band Row 1 - L . t o R . - P.

I t participated in many events such as fairs, marching festival, and football games. The marching season came to a close at the last football game. A f t e r that event, the band becomes a concert band, considerably smaller than the marching band, F i f t y - n i n e students enrolled in the concert band. E v e n t s for the band included the Christmas concert, spring concert, basketball games, and contest. Members of the band have the wonderful privilege of having a new band room which has helped the band a great deal, as i t provides comfort, a vast amount of space, and helpful equipment, including the tape recorder and stroboconn. The custom, each year, i s to present awards to individuals earning them. Major awards are given to students in the band for three years, and minor awards to students in the band two years. Many times ensembles are formed, some of which are entered in the contest; others are used to play f or various social events, when asked. The last two years the surrounding schools in Michigan have organized an All Star Band consisting of musicians from the schools. L a s t year, Bronson sent a group of individuals to this conference which was held at Three Rivers and this year at Niles. T w o bands are formed, on A -B band and a C-D band according to each school's classification. T h i s is a wonderful experience for a student, as well as fun. The seniors who are members of this year's Bronson High School Band, under the direction of William B. Stewart, wish to express their gratitude to him for making the band such a one that it is a pleasure form them to participate in it, and they are proud to be a member of the organization.

It was in the middle of October when many of the students of Bronson High were leaving study halls and meeting with Mr. William Stewart the choir director, to sing up and down the scale and chords. T h i s was the tryouts that determined whether they were to sing in the choir. From these students, an a cappella choir of seventy-four voices was chosen. T h i s group then met two times each week throughout the school year. The first appearence of the choir was at the dedication of the new addition to our school. Several seasonal selections were sung. The choir entered a float, ' F r o s t y the Snowman", in the Christmas parade. T h e choir, divided into two groups, then sang appropriate selections during the parade. The big event of the year was the Annual Christmas Concert. T h e theme, 'Signs of Christmas", was carried out by small groups of members from the choir and double sextette with the band furnishing the back ground music. T h e highlight of the program was a candlelight processional composed of the choir and sextette. I t was followed by several Christmas selections sung by the choir and sextette. The choir also presented an operetta which was held in place of the Annual Spring Concert. Mary Shaw �Majorettes Nancy Blain Marcia Pugh Carol Pearce Shirley Hollister Kay Somerlott Beverly May Lois Jean Hun sicker DRUM MAJOR •Left-Right-Left-Righti" Yes, this is the familiar beat of the Bronson Band twirling's and drum major. Early in the fall, they start pacing out the beats for their annual shows during the football season and for the fairs. A s basketball season approached, the twirlers were seen twirling at the halftime of the basketball games. Four of the girls formed their own drill team and had a dance and 'porn porn" routine. These girls appeared in exhibitions at the Coldwater nnd Centerville Fairs as well as at the Homecoming basketball dance. As Drum Major, Lois Hunsicker is completing ten years of service in our band. She carries much of the responsibility of the performance on the football and exhibition fields. All of the majorettes display fine twirling ability as can be proved from the fine ratings they receive at the various contests, and the community of Bronson can be proud of it's twirling rank.

Music! Music! Music! A s third period on Tuesday and seventh on Thursday arrives, the music room becomes a small opera house, -no really i t ' s only the sextette practicing for their many engagements. Although the group got a late start this year, they were kept very busy the rest of the year. Their repertoire includes religious, classical, popular music, and the group have a lot of fun working out different rounds. Some of this year's favorites were "You'll Never Walk Alone," " T h e Orchastra Song', and the religious numbers. The organization not only appears for the Bronson community, but for the surrounding areas as well. T h e famous words of the members are, "Do We Eat?" Next year's sextette will be made up of many new faces, as eight of the twelve members are seniors this year. Those graduating are as follows: Sopranos, Jean Wohlers, Ruth Rierson, Lois Jean Hunsicker; Alto, Elizabeth Bidwell; Tenor, Keith Wohlers; and the entire bass section, B i l l Calhoun (our solist), Nathan Coats, and Richard Hovda. Our thanks go to the school, Mr. Stewart, and our community for helping us to make this another successful year. Lois Jean Hunsicker 4 �Row 1 - L . t o R . - A . Walker, R . A . H o y t , S.

T h i s up-to-date music department helped them to progress splendidly. There are thirty members in the junior band this year. T h e pupils range from the sixth grade through the nineth grade. T h e sixth graders come from Anderson School to the band room three times a week, and the seventh through nineth graders meet four times a week. Some of last year's members were promoted to the senior band i n order to make room for the new members. Instruments played are numerous and include flutes, cornets, clarinets, trombones, baritones, saxophones, and drums. This spring they participated in the Instrumental concert, and did a fine job. The junior band accompanied the senior band to the contest at Hillsdale in March. T h i s is done so the pupils w i l l understnad all the musicianship required to be able to compete in such contests, and to see what they, themselves, w i l l be participating in after a few years. This procedure should encourage practices, and help the band in many ways. ��Row 1 L . t o R . : L . M y n h i e r, J . F o w l Holt, R . P e ! m o o r, D . M c C l i s h , C .

T h e y scored 610 points to their opponents 428, giving them an average of 38.1 points per game to their opponents average of 26.7 points per game. The team was made up of sophomores and freshmen, with most of their strenght coming from Rex brewer (high point man), Darian Wiler, L . D. Mynhier, Jerry Nowak, and Jim Sobeski. With a " B " squad like this the future looks very bright for next year's " A " squad. This was Mr. Atkocunis's second year with the " b " squad, we all wish him more in the future. K a r l Hoffer. This year marks the end of two years of successful teaching and coaching for Mr. Atkocunis. Upon his graduation from Western Michigan College, he came to Bronson to teach for the first time. H e also has charge of Track, Freshman Football, B -Squad and the Boy Scouts. With all the extra activities, he still finds time to teach Commercial Law, Social Problems, History, Biology and Health. A s for his coaching ability, last year's track team was second in the conference meet, and his B-Squad is currently tied for the first place. F o r those who wish to find Mr. Atkocunis, all they have to do is look up, way up, because he is the tallest teacher on the staff, with a booming six feet four inches to his credit. I am sure that in the future he will continue to bolster his fine scholastic record. Good Luck Mr. Atkocunis! N i c k Whorley �VarsityCheerleaders L. t o R . - N. Himebaugh, D . L u t z , K .

But, far off in the gym, is heard the dound of running and jumping, then a scream and shouts. H a s someone been hurt or maybe a frail gal has seen a little mouse and been frightened half to death. T h e sound grows low, then i t comes again, louder than before. I t sounds like a whole troup now. Maybe we had better investigate this and really find out what's going on. Well, I ' l l be----, i t ' s just our cheerleaders with their coach, Miss Betty Wilson, practicing for the next game. They practice every Monday and Thursday after school. This is the first year that the girls have had a coach, and they are all very greatful for the wonderful help they have received from her. T h e y have learned new cheers, also new motions to use with the old ones. For the first time this year, we have special reserve cheerleaders, who consist of Rosemary Calhoun, Marilyn Paul, and Judy Kay Martin. T h e i r outfits are made up of purple torador pants, weskits, and blouses with cute bow ties. The varsity cheerleaders are Patricia Andrews, Jean Lutz, Nancy Himebaugh, and Kay Somerlott. Purple jumpers with gold blouses make up their outfits, which are new this year. The girls have done a splendid job of cheerleading this year, and I don't believe that the students could have been able to carry on without them, Congratulations girls! Roberta Deranek.

T h e location suggested for this center was the Alderman-Luce Memorial Home with the permission of the V. F. W. (Veterans of Foreign Wars). The committee is made up of members from grades seven through twelve (pictured above). They have met several times during the year with members from the various organizations such as the Rotary Club, Woman's League, Kiwanis, Woman's Club, and the different Church groups. T h e members of the clubs and organizations have met at different homes around Bronson. T h e y have heard talks from the director of the Youth Center from Sturgis, Mr. Kribs, who has been director at Sturgis for eight years. H e stated how the Youth Center was supported and also said that the teen-age members had taken over the running of the Center, and were doing excellently, requiring very little supervision. The Committee planned for a youth Center set up on the basis of the Sturgis Center with recreations such as dancing, card playing, and ping-pony. Many thought that, i f Sturgis and other surrounding communities could set up and run a Center successfully, Bronson could also operate one equally as well. We believe with the co-operation of the community, this Yourth Center could be accomplished. T h i s project is a needed asset to Bronson because everyone in the Community will be benefited by it. We sincerely hope in latter years we can boast of our modern upto-date Youth Center.

I t ' s purpose is to promote speech interests of the students and to bring about a clearer understanding of speech. The speech class of this school year and the seniors who were enrolled in class last year will go down on the records as charter members of the Bronson High School Speech Club. Nancy Blatter, Gerd FriihIling, Ted Kosmerick, Helga Willer, Karsten Prager, Harry Smoker, Betty Sweet, and Sylvia Thomas will be known as honorary members. Offices of the club include the following: president, Nathan Coats; vice-president, Ruby Jean Rubly; secretary, Sally Spade; treasurer, Phyllis Hartman; parliamentarian, John Klemmer; programs committee, Lois Jean Hunsicker, Don McClish, and Nancy Himebaugh. Meetings are held in the agriculture room the second Monday of each month. During the year, this group has presented a number of programs for various organizations in the city and country. These programs have included panel discussions, monologues, and one act plays. It was decided to present one evening of three one act plays as a springtime event. The obiective of this endeavor was to enlarge the physical aspects of the speech department. Miss Patricia Chisholm. �Varsity Club L. t o R. R o w 1: R . Kosmerick, C . C o l l i n s , G .

They also sponsored a basketball raffle and a football raffle. During the first year of organization, the club ordered purple and gold jackets for the members, thus adding an air of distinction to the club. To become a member, a boy has to earn a letter in Varsity competition in track, football, baseball, or basketball. B u t this is not the only requirement. The boy joining the club must go through a period of initiation, where by he is required to do any odd jobs for any member who requests it of him, or pay a much more severe penalty. He is, also, required to pay a small sum for dues. Since its beginning, the club has been under the supervision of Mr. C. R. Hilton and Mr. T. A. Nicolette, who are-incidentally-in the capacities of athletic director and head line coach respectively. In the future, it is certain that the Varsity Club will become better known, as they have planned a number of activities which will bring them to the public's attention. Nick Whorley �F.F.A.

Three of the officers, President Franklin Ross, Vice-President Duane Hollister, and Secretary Marshall Parsons went to officer's training camp at Clear Lake near Battle Creek with Mr. Hilton, their advisor. The Treasurer, Karl Hoffer; Reporter, Don McClish; Sergeant-at-arms, Allan Bidwell; and Sentinel; Tom Kehoe, were unable to attend. The one big project the F. F. A. undertook was to further the county "rat campaign" throughout the Bronson District. Other projects were the glove sales, the annual "Father and Son" banquet, and the completion of personal projects. The club members are divided into eight different committees. They are supervised farming, cooperation, community service, leadership, earnings, and savings, conduct of meetings, scholarship, recreations, and general. Each boy is on one committee. At the opening and closing of F. F. A. meetings, the officers take up a position under the club symbols in the following manner: Reporter, stationed under the flag, Treasurer, stationed at the picture of Washington, Advisor, stationed at the statue of owl, Vice President, stationed by the plow, President stationed under the rising sun.

Any pupil enrolled in the secondary school who is taking, or has taken homemaking in junior or senior high school may be a member. The National F.H.A. was organized in 1945. The Home Economics Branch of the Office of Education and the American Home Economics Association are our co-sponsors, and the home economics sections of the American Vocational Association and the National Education Association work in cooperation. Our main goal i s learning to live better today in order that the homemaking pupils' lives and those of their families may be better tomorrow. Each summer, there is a national convention where new officers are elected and installed, and a program is set ut.. Then, the states and their districts carry this program back to their local chapters. The purposes of the club are to promote an appreciation of and joy in homemaking, to develop each girl into a worthy member of both her home and her community, to further international good will, ti . cultivate whatever tendency toward leadership the girl may have, and to inspire her with an interest in home economics. The club motto, which is, "Toward New Horizons," expresses the purposes of the organization. I t ' s emblem signifie, h a t the future homes of America are in the hands of its youth.The flower is a red rose. The F.H.A. Creed states that, as future homemakers, the girls are ready to face the fot.re with the hope that they may build homes where goodness and fairness will prevail, Mrs. Doris Bradley �Girls'Bowling Row 1 L . t o R.: A .

D o you wonder what's happening? Come along with me and let's find out. We follow the cars to a long, low building on the outskirts of town. Going inside we hear a conversation like this. "Quick, get a blue ball!" "Size six shoes, please." "Honestly Marilyn, wait till you hear what she said!" Through the confusion we see Miss Wilson. Drawing nearer, we hear her saying, "Please be careful of the cigerette stands girls, you knocked three over last week." E ight alleys, with five girls on each, are quickly filled. A girl stands at the starting line. There she goes! Wow! What a curve! I ' m speaking of the ball, and it hits with a crash, knocking nine pins out of commission. T h e last one tilts crazily. Wringing her hands, the girl shouts, "Fall, darn you, fall!" I t ' s now nearing six o'clock and the alleys are emptying. T h e games are ending.

Last fall, a group of Bronson High School boys from grades seven through twelve united to organize a junior bowling league under the supervision of Don McIntyre and Olan Martin. Officers were elected, and eight teams were formed. The league was run under the A. J. B. C. (American Junior Bowling Congress) rules. The teams were sponsored by Rotary, Kiwanis, Jaycee, Clints' Barber Shop, and Southern Michigan Tool and Die. The group was known as the Viking league. Officers are as follows: Paul Kern, President and Ted Kosmerick, Secretary and Treasurer for the second time. Team captains and teams are Fred Schlautmann (Kiwanis Gold), Gerry Synder (Kiwanis Blue), Leonard Signeski (Rotary Red), Bill Myers (Clints' Barber Shop), Barny Dixon (Southern Michigan Tool and Die), Le Roy Goshorn (Rotary Blue), Jim Lane (Jaycee No. 2), and Richard Foerster (Jaycee No. 1). This year's full regular season with time out for holidays and tournaments of other leagues, provided a much greater amount of competition due to the large number of boys that participated in it.

"Glamour Boy," a delightful comedy in three acts was chosen by the Junior class as their play for this year. I t was shown to the public at the Bronson High School auditorium, November 20, at 8 p. m. under the direction of Miss Patricia Chisholm. Sixteen boys and girls made up the cast of "Glamour Boy." T h e title character, Chauncy Jay Mooney, known as Peewee, i s an under-sized, under-loved boy. I n direct contrast is Gregory (Flash) Homer, the star high school athlete. F l a s h ' s girl friend, Georgia Belle Roberts, i s the high school charmer. M i s s Davis is the attractive office secretary. Clarissa Green is a typical high school girl, as is Audry Nelson. Roxanne Towner is the newsminded editor of the school paper and Perry (Corky) Williams, is the president of the High Honor Club. M i s s Prescott, i s Chauncy's English teacher, and Mr. Garfield i s the high school principal. J.C. Roberts is the father of Georgia Belle, and Mrs. Mooney, Chauncy's mother. Miss Higgins is a member of the faculty. M i s s Thorndyke, chairman of the autobiography contest and the NBC announcer and a " L i f e " photographer round out the cast. The action of the story takes place in the principal's office of Oakville High School. T h e hero, Chauncy, is in danger of failing an English course, taught by the not-so-beloved Miss Prescott. Writing an autobiography of his own colorless life is the only thing that can save him; but to do so, he feels, would be too humiliating. What did Chauncy do? J u s t what anyone would have done. H e went into the dream world of his imagination and became, on paper, the self-appointed "Glamour Boy" of the school. T h e outcome of his autobiography's being printed in a magazine contest made this an entertaining play for both young and old. Patty Andrews �SeniorPlay Row 1 - -M. Weaver.

T h e play, centering around a group of teen-agers and their typical problems, took place in the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cutler. (John Klemmer and Phyllis Fox.) Others in the cast were: Jane (who had no date for the dance) Ruth Rierson Sally (Janes best friend) Pat Andrews Jim (Sally's boy-friend) Paul Kern Rose Tilton (who has the mumps) Roberta Deranek Mrs. Tilton (her mother) Eleanor Bash Josie Tilton (her kid sister) Mary Ann Weaver Elroy (who likes to put the shot) Nathan Coats George (whom Jane is sweet on) Curtis Butters Marcia (a triple-threat from New York) Phyllis Hathaway Cindy Collins (a girl with ideas) Lois Jean Hunsicker Marilyn (who is after Elroy) Marilyn Kosmerick Lt. 13ob Cunningham ( of the Air Force) Keith Wohlers Agnes (the maid of al lwork) Charlotte Blain Mr. Ahern (a Neighbor) Norman Dixon Of course all ended happily f o r everyone as teenage problems usually do. A lot of credit and appreciation go to Mrs. Tharp, who directed the play, and to the rest of the class who all worked hard to make it a huge success.

No, Miss Fox is not going to correct papers today. Yes, Miss .!unsicker did tell you to study your number drill. Miss Stebleton will need three helpers to help her to remove the art work from the board. These are all things you would overhear from the teacher, Mrs. Klemmer if you visited the second grade room. Something very different this year has been added to the Seniors' course of study. Girls who were interested in student teaching, with the able aid of Mrs. Klemmer, were able to try their skill at this profession. Each girl gave up from one to three study halls a day for this course. They were able to understand the children's habits and personalities. Of course, there were the holiday parties to help celebrate also. Each girl was invited to help with the serving of the refreshments and certainly the enjoyment of eating them, too. We sincerely hope this practice can be continued permnently because it was both educational and enjoyable. Phyllis Fox OfficeGirls The girls who work each period in the office this year are 1st period--Joanne Hollister, 2nd period-Marla Albright, 3rd period--Vera Brower, 4th period-Phyllis Ann Hathaway, 5th period--Elizabeth Bidwell, 6th period—Roberta Deranek, 7th period--Ruby Rubley, and 8th period--Charlotte Blain. • The girls have proved to be very efficient "secretaries" as they go about their various duties. ' S . The girls perform many different tasks such as taking dictation, typing letters, answering phone calls, typing tests, and aiding the teachers in various other ways. This does not give any extra credit or a grade; but it does prove to be very helpful to each of the girls because every one of them realizes that experience is ihe best teacher. Standing-L. to R.- J.

I t was the Homecoming game and dance held in the gymnasium, February 12, and sponsered by the Varsity and F.H. A. Clubs. T h e main attraction was the Homecoming Queen and her court. The F. H. A., F. F. A . , Varsity Club, Speech Club, and each of the four grades chose a girl to represent them as a candidate for Homecoming Queen. These girls were selected on their ability to speak in public, pleasing personality, neat appearence, and poise. Each of the eight candidates gave a short talk at the pep meeting the afternoon of the Homecoming. T h e students then cast their vote for the girl they felt was best qualified for the honor. At halftime of the game the lucky girl's name was announced, and the lovely queen was Ruby Jean Rubley, the Varsity Club's candidate. She was crowned by the Varsity Club president and given a dozen roses. H e r court consisted of Zenia Bronowicz who represented the freshman class, Delores Ross, sophomore class, Joan Keckler, Junior class,Phyllis Hartman, senior class, Jean Rierson, F. H. A . Club, Kay Somerlott, F. F. A . Club, and Nancy Himebaugh, Speech Club. Later that evening at the dance, the Queen and basketball team captain, Richard Hovda, led the Grand March. It was a wonderful evening which will long be remembered. T h e students are eagerly looking forward to next year's Homecoming. Phyllis Hartman ��Cafeteria As you can see, the cafeteria has been remodeled and is now complete with an automatic dishwasher, new ovens, small freezer, milk cooler, automatic garbage disposal, pie case, troy slide, new cupboards, and many other helpful and time-saving devices. Best of all, so the kids say, is the selling of ice cream bars between classes. The cafeteria, under the direction of Mrs. Muriel Brower, serves an average of 200 students a day, including those from the Anderson Building. r To show their appreciation, everyone co-operates with 'Ma,' as everyone affectionately calls Mrs. Brower. Joanne Hollister Mrs. B r o w e r �Custodians The Janitors this year were Glenn Stroup, Clyde Wingard, Henry Blain, and Ed Ward as maintenance man. Last year, the janitors got double duty because of the new Anderson Elementary School that was built; but this year, they had even more work because of the new gym, new hallways and all the new class rooms to clean up. We should compliment these men on their fine job of keeping our school clean. Leonard Signeski. BusDrivers L. t o R . E . Ward, G . Stroup, C . Wingard, a n d H . B l a i n . Wehave in our present school system, fourtee• buses, twelve of which were purchased in the Irt three years. There are thirteen bus drivers wh ich are di vi into two groups, those who drive to the elementar schools, and those who drive to the high school. The drivers responsible for the elementary schools are as follows: Wilma Carpenter, Don Herman, Henry Russell, Harvey Nagel, Forrest Williams, and Allan Stough. Those driving to th, high school are: Fay Somerlott, J. L. Ri ply, Herm° Taylor, C. J. Hawley, I. W. Lunsford, Vern Deal, and Walter Bridge. Seven of the thirteen drivers make two trip! daily. Each day the buses cover 936 miles am-transport 692 students. During the past seven years the bus drivers have made an excellent safety record. We are truly very proud of our drivers and ou fleet of buses. They have proved to be safe, economical, and efficient. Eleanore Bash L. t o R . : H . Ta y l o r, T. R i p l e y, C . H a w l e y, F .

In this year's annual, the members of the senior class are very proud to tell you about their safety patrol. This year's safety patrol i s the first one in many years to receive the A. A. A. Safety trophy, an award which is presented for excellence in safety work. T h i s trophy was presented by the Safety Club of Michigan at an assembly last November. The leader for the past three years has been Mr. E. E. Wortman. H e has been leader of the boys for the past three years and has worked with them for the past six. Poster's furnished by the A. A . A., are placed in the halls and in most of the rooms. They are read to the students, as many students as have the posters brought to their attention are called contacts. A t the end of the school year, the contact points are totaled. A t the close of the 1953-1954 school year, the points amounted to more than 30,000 contacts per month. It is the opinion of the seniors that everyone should give the past, present, and future patrol boys of Bronson High School a vote of thanks for the efficient job they have done in protecting the elementary school children, the students of the junior and senior high schools and even the f a c u l t y members from injury resulting from traffic accidents. / Norman Dixon �\. "Year of Progress" The school year of 1953-1954 will mark a mile-stone in the history of the Bronson Community Schools, for this year the dreams of the past have become a reality. The addition to our high school has been completed, parts of the old building have been reconditioned, and as many improvements made to the rural schools as finances would permit. The time and effort of the Board of Education and Superintendent Carpenter have been given unstintingly in order to provide the very best educational facilities possible at this time. Consequently, we now have new and modern housing and equipment for our Music, shop, and Agricultural departments as well as one of the best gymnasium-auditoriums in this part of Michigan. The previous gymnasium has been converted into a study hall, the old study hall partitioned into two nice classrooms, new floors laid in the old building, and a new fire escape added as well as many other minor improvements. We are also now very proud of our school cafeteria as it was completely renovated and all new stainless steel equipment added during the past summer. This addition and the many improvements which were formally dedicated on November 22, will make possible a better instructional program in every department of our high school. However, regardless of the tireless effort of the Administration, nothing could have been accomplished without the financial support and cooperation of you, the residents of our school district. It is our hope that you will share the pride that we feel in our accomplishment and that you will remember that these buildings are intended to serve not only the boys and girls but also the adults of our community. To everyone who has helped in any way to bring about the fulfillment of our plans, we express sincere appreciation W e trust you will continue your fine support as we look with confidence to the future.

The inspectors from the University of Michigan, and the visitors from the State Department of Public Construction have given us excellent ratings and complimented us on the progress our school is making. We, the Board of Education, wish to acknowledge our appreciation and thanks to our faculty, custodians, bus drivers, clerks, and other school employees for the loyalty, co-operation, support, and splendid spirit they have shown throughout the school year. We are proud of the progress being maintained in each department. I t is our wish that we may continue to plan and work together so that our school will continue to strive to meet all the educational needs of students and adults in this community. We are happy that our new building is nearing completion. The new facilities our students and teachers will have when school opens next September will greatly enhance our instruction program. The time and effort of the Board of Education and Mr. Carpenter have been given unstintingly in order to provide the very best educational facilities possible. However, we realize that nothing could have been accomplished without the financial support and co-operation of you, the residents of this community. I t is our hope that you will share the pride that we feel in our accomplishments and that you will remember that these new facilities are intended to serve not only the boys and girls, but also the adults of the community. To everyone who has helped in any way to bring about the fulfillment of our plans, we express sincere appreciation. 9 �Gareth H e i s l e r Social S t u d i e s B.S., Manchester C o l l e g e , I n d i a n a M.

However, her work is always done efficiently and on time. Roberta Bullock Marie Tracy "Hey! Get out of that dirt!" Now doesn't that sound familiar to you? And who else would say that but our trustworthy janitors? Seriously though, this school would be a complete chaos if it were not for them and the important job they perform. Did you ever stop to think how many things would be more difficult for us, how many parties would be delayed if we couldn't get the janitors to help us decorate the gymnasium? Would we have brains enough to do it alone? Ha! H a ! All in all, they are nice people to know, and I'm sure you'll agree that they do their part in keeping this school in order. Roberta Bullock Left to Right: C l y d e Wingard, Henry Blain, Glen Stroup. Absent: F r i Word. Mrs. Brower Mrs. Brower, or "Ma" as most people know her, has charge of our cafeteria. She plans the menus, takes care of buying the groceries and prepares all of the meals for the "starving children" of B. H. S. Due to the small space in which she has to work, it is very inconvenient for her, but she manages very well with the help of some of the highschool girls. She spends most of her time in the cafeteria working for us, and therefore, I think she deserves a big vote of thanks from the student body. 12 ��Gerald Hollister Choir 1,2,3,4 Double Sextette 1,2,3,4 Senior Band 1,2,3,4 Manager 4 Football 1,2,3,4 Basketball 1,2 Baseball 1,2,3 Class Play 3 Jr. Editor Annual 3 Co-Editor Annual 4 Hi-Times 1,2,3,4 Varsi•y Club 3,4 Class President 1,2 Class Vice President 3 Student Council President 4 Co-Historian 4 Marietta Seiler F.

H . A . 1 �ClassHistory The Class of 1953 entered into highschool as "green little freshmen' in September of 1948. They were properly welcomed at the Freshman Initiation by the Seniors, who were more than glad to do their part. The All-Hi parties in their first year of high school were just a sample of the good times they were yet to have together. During their sophomore and junior years they worked like little beavers on campaigns to earn money to sponsor the Prom. Also, in their junior year they presented the play 'The Inner Willy', which was very successful. Then came the big year, their senior year. T h e plans were made for a trip to New York City and Washington D. C. They sponsored paper drives, baked goods sales, and a penny supper to defray the expenses of their trip. They chose as their motto: 'Don't itch for success, scratch for it.' T h a t is exactly what they did. They made their presence felt on the athletic field as Bronson fielded some of the finest teams in their history. They did a fine j o b in the school room, as i3etty ".etzgar walked off with the top scholastic honor, valedictorian. The salutatorian was Judy Wanar, with Jerry Hollister and Martin CraLill following as co-historians. On Friday evening, May 29, Mr. Carpenter presented the seniors with their diplomas, thereby completing a very successful four years at Bronson High School. Jerry Hollister Cafeteria Our cafeterias, under the supervision of Mrs. Brower, serve appetizing, nutritious, hot lunches at a moderate cost to approximately 350 students daily. T h i s program also gives many student helpers valuable training and experience in food preparation, service, and management. 21 �ClassProphecy Standing on the loading platform of the Atomic Space Academy, you can see the 1953 seniors. T h e first thing you will ask, "What are they doing standing in line like that?" T h e answer is simple; they are looking into the 'Futurescope of Wonders,' while waiting for their space ship. Now you will ask, "What do they see?' According to the message we received, the following information reports the whole situation quite accurately. Where did we receive this information?

The 1952-53 Student Council has just completed its seventeenth year at Bronson, and has endeavored to promote good citizenship within the school. Last fall, three hundred and seventy-five students joined the Student Union by buying badges, which admitted them to all home games, assemblies, and some of the A l l -Hi parties. T h e council charged an admission for half of the parties for which i t provided. Promoting the Viking Review was another of its activities. Five representatives attended the Citizenship Conference at Ann Arbor, where they discussed various problems of high school student councils.

The WAYNE VAN PATTEN ALL SPORTS TROPHY Bronson High School is now in permanent possession of the valuable Wayne Van Patten Little C All Sports Trophy. I t is given away on a point system. The school that earns the most points for oH sports played during the year will obtain possession of the trophy for one year. I f it is won by one school three times, that means the school has been able to keep ,t co,- three years, then the trophy will remain as its permanent possession. The Wayne Van Patten Trophy was won by the Bronson Vikings for the first time in 1950. Then they repeated their championship in 1951 and 1952. It can be said that Bronson High School is really proud to be the owner of such a valuable and important trophy and we wish to thank the football, basketball, baseball, and track teams who fought hard for their school and whose efforts were finally rewarded by the Wayne Van Patten Little C. All Sports Trophy.

Major letter winners from the 1950-1951 teams were: backfield; Martin Crabill, two years; B i l l Fifer, two years; Jerry Hollister, two years; Larry Maxwell, one year; ends: Leonard Hoard, two years; Bob Hilton, one year; Paul Kern, one year; tackles: Nathan Coates, one year; B i l l Calhoun, one year; Karl Hoffer, one year; guards; Frank Ross, one year; Melvin Albright, one year. Coach Charles Hilton used Nick Whorley at center, Charles Selby in the backfield and Marshdll Parsons and Bill Hoyt as guards to give the Vikes a strong and experienced line and a powerful backfield. Highlights of the season were: The Vikings played Athens (the pre-season co-favorites) in their first game. T h e Bronson Squad fought their way withing the Indian 20 yard line 11 times in the first period but scored only once and added the extra point. I n the last quarter, Athens threw two passes good for 60 yards and a touchdown. T h e y scored the extra point to make the final score 7-7. We then went to Jonesville and beat them 14-0 with Crabill throwing Fifer a screen pass good for 30 yards and a touchdown. C r a b i l l scored the otivr touchdown on a 10 yard end-run. Union City was our next victim. Union City took the game opening kickoff and traveled down to our ten yard line and then scored. We then scored a touchdown in the second, two in the third, and one in the fourth quarter to make the score 25-6. Reading gave us a scare the following Friday night as we beat them 8-6. We then were tied for first place with Homer, our next scheduled opponent. A f t e r the gun went off and the smoke cleared from the field, nothing was gained, and we were still tied as the game ended 0-0. We then beat Quincy 31-0 and Litchfield 33-0 to give us an unbeaten season with five wins, two ties, no losses, and a co-championship with Homer. T h e Vikings scored 118 points to their opponents' 19. Vikings who graduate are Martin Crabill, Len Hoard, Larry Maxwell, Jerry Hollister, Bob Hilton, Gordon Sikorski, and Bill Fifer.

The Bronson High School varsity basketball team had a very successful season. Their record in conference play for 1952-53 was thirteen victories and one defeat. The combined efforts of the coach, Ted Nicolette, and players made the Vikings one of the most powerful class C team in southern Michigan. T h i s was Nicolette's second season as varsity coach, and under his direction the team won their first basketball championship since entering the league in 1934. The team also won the Albion Invitational Tournament, held at Albion, during the Christmas holidays. In seventeen games, the team scored a total of 1,013 points against their opponents 659. The seniors on the team are: Donald Sobeski, Leonard Hoard, Larry Maxwell, Kenneth Duncan, B i l l Fifer, Robert Hilton, and Harry Smoker.

H e got scoring help from Don Sobeski and Jerome Marz who scored 12 and 10 points, respectively. In the second game of the tournament, the Vikes were hard pressed, and were forced to come from behind to beat a spirited Jackson St. John's five by the score of 48-44. Bronson trailed 39-35 going into the fourth quarter, but out-pointed their opponents 13.5 to win a hard fought game. John Calhoun led the Vikings scoring with 15 points, followed closely by Len Hoard with 13. Bronson met and defeated a good Homer team in the Class " C " final by the score of 53-44.

The Bronson reserves had a very successful season under the coaching of Charles Atkocunis, as they rolled up thirteen victories against one defeat. T h e squad was composed this year of Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. T h e Junior Vikings had a lot of speed and plenty of rebounding strength. Charles Selby, Tom Kehoe, and Jerry Houghton did a good deal o f the scoring. A l l in all, they dropped in 531 points while holding their opponents to 360. Bill Fifer 56 �4)!

Since the football and basketball teams came out on top, the varsity track team is also looking for a favorable season with nine lettermen back under the coaching of Charles Atkocunis. Darrell Blanchard Dean Amos acted as manager of the track team for the 1952 track season as he did last season. Dean could usually be seen waddling around the field gathering up the hurdles and other equipment after practice was over. H e added much to the morale of our championship team by competing against the team members in practice. The track team had a very successful season, and we would like to compliment Dean for his efforts. The manager of the 1952 baseball team was Jerry Clemens. O f course, some of you might not recognize this name because he is better known as "Jake" or "Scavenger." I n batting practice a foul ball would go behind the fence, then came that familiar ring, "Go get that ball, Scavenger." We had a championship baseball team and we would like to thank Jerry for the time and effort he contributed.

Last fall a group of boys from Colon and Bronson Community Schools met at the Bronson Recreation to organize a junior bowling league. T h e league was to run under A. J. B. C. (American Junior Bowling Congress) rules. The Colon Masons and Odd Fellows (I. 0 . 0 . F. ) sponsored the two Colon teams through the first half of the season, however, they dropped out the last half. The four Bronson teams were sponsored by the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, each sponsoring two teams. T h e group was known as the Fraternal Junior Bowling League. A full regular season was enjoyed by all who participated and keen competition entering into the individual scoring.

Modern times have changed and so has physical education. F o r the first time, it included bowling. O n Sept. 17th, 42 girls started to roll the balls down the alleys, and soon they were making strikes. When the season was finished after 22 weeks of bowling, 36 girls had still stayed with the course. The girls were organized into six teams with six girls on each team.

Above is pictured the fifty-six piece Bronson High School Concert Band; one of the finest class C bands in this part of the state. Under the direction of William B. Stewart, the band earned a first division in the district festival at Constantine, and on December 23, the annual Christmas Concert was presented. This year Mr. Stewart will lose eleven members due to graduation, but their positions will be ably filled by Junior band members. The band i s looking forward to being in the new rehearsal room next year with facilities that will accommodate the needs of the music department. Below is the sixty piece marching band doing a dress front formation. T h e marching band received a first division in the marching festival at St. Joseph, Michigan, and presented many fine programs during halftime cermonies at the Bronson football games. Roberta Bullock 64 �For another year Mr. Stewart has been king over B. H. S.'s music department. He certainly did a great job again this year. T h e marching band, under his direction, won several contests and also received much applause from our football fans. The concert band, choir, and double sextette combined their efforts for a successful Christmas concert. T h e double sextette, conducted by him, had many programs in Bronson and vicinity and also one in Detroit. Choir and band enjoyed meeting under his He gives music lessons and deserves a great deal of respect for his fine work. Again this last year, Bronson High School's twirlers, under Drum Major Lois Jean Hunsicker, have contributed a great part to the success of our marching band. When our band received applause at football games or when it earned high ratings at band festival, much of the credit for its success must be given to the twirlers. After the marching season, the twirlers showed their ability and 'legs* during the halftime at basketball games. T h e y attended a twirlers' contest at Kalamazoo where three of the girls earned first division. Thanks to you all, girls !

T h i s building will house the gym, agriculture department, shop, and music department. Mr. Carpenter has been very busy with the plans on the new building and great progress has been made. The seniors were very much in hopes that they would be able to graduate in the new auditorium. Even though splendid progress is being made, Mr. Carpenter reports that we will not be able to move into the building until sometime in July.

In the following year, busy-bodiedSophomores hada succession of sandwich and cupcake sales, sold at ball games, and at the end of the year, had more money in their treasury than any previous class. As Juniors, everyone worked hard to make the Prom a spectacular and memorable event. T h e highschool auclitorium was converted into a lovely garden scene, complete with awnings, trellises laden with colorful roses, trees, and a wishing well. I n spite of rain, the prom was well attended and commented on by all. Last, b u t by far from the least, comes this our Senior year, the busiest and most exciting one of all, w i t h plans for the annual, commencement, a n d our trip to New York. T h o s e holding top honors for four years o f hard work are Jack Sweet, valedictorian; Mary Kay Carpenter and Virvinia Kupiecki, c o -salutatorians, Margaret Kehoe, historian. In short while we w i l l be leaving Bronson High, o u r teachers, and many friends, but we shall always remember them and a l l the events so dear t o our hearts and be able to say proudly, " W e have worked hard, worked together, and now can mark ours as a job well done.
