SENIOR CLASS H I S T O R Y
In September, 1940, 46 inexperienced boys and girls entered
Senior high school. T h e difficult task o f being class adviser was assigned to Miss Dora Anderson. T h e f i r s t year o f Senior high school
was new and different t o them and i t took quite a while t o become
accustomed to the change.
Next, as Sophomores, f i f t y students enrolled. T h e y w e r e
more accustomed to the school routine by this time, and under the direction o f Mrs. Nova Hamilton, they made some money b y putting on
a "Cake Wa l k Dance."
They entered t h e J u n i o r year w i t h f o r t y students, f o u r o f
whom have left. T h e class adviser was A l w y n Westaway. A f t e r his
resignation, Charles H i l t o n t o o k over. T h i s was t h e i r busiest year.
On Dec. 18, 1942 t h e Juniors presented t h e p l a y, "Student Queen."
This p l a y w a s w e l l presented, under t h e direction o f Miss Isabelle
Baker. T h e y entertained the departing Seniors at the annual JuniorSenior reception, May 15, 1943. T h e decorations portrayed a victory
scene.
They entered their final year of high school at Bronson w i t h
thirty students enrolled. M r . Bodley, school superintendent, proved to
be a very competent adviser. T h e Senior play, " A s k M e A n o t h e r, "
was presented on March 31, 1944, directed by Mrs. Margaret Tharp.

HISTORY
Four years ago when forty-five
green Freshmen w a l k e d t h r o u g h
the doors o f Bronson H i g h School,
they n e v e r dreamed t h a t b e f o r e
their h i g h school days were over,
some o f them would be serving i n
their country's armed forces.
Some o f o u r members h a v e
joined the services, some have quit
school t o w o r k i n defense plants,
and o t h e r s h a v e t o h e l p o n t h e
farms. B u t although they are not
here t o graduate w i t h us, w e a l l
know they are making our country
safe f o r future generations.
Three out of our four years o f
high school have been w a r years.
Because o f this, adjustments have
had t o be made and changes have
taken place in school activities that
wouldn't have occurred in years o f
peace.
Whatever o u r j o b w e w i l l d o
it well, w e w i l l keep u p w i t h t h e
times, start preparing now f o r the
days following the war and even i f
we don't get to do w h a t we'd l i k e
to do, we won't feel sorry f o r ourselves because we are pretty lucky
after all. W e w i l l remember that:
" I t t a k e s a l i t t l e courage
And a l i t t l e s e l f - c o n t r o l
And some g r i m d e t e r m i n a t i o n
I f you w a n t t o reach t h e goal.
It takes a deal o f striving
And a f i r m a n d s t e r n -set c h i n ,
No m a t t e r w h a t t h e b a t t l e
I f you're r e a l l y o u t t o w i n ! "

June 8, 1954
Dear Jerry,
I received your letter last Wednesday, and was certainly glad to
hear from you after so long a time. Y o u mentioned you would like to
know where all the old class of '44 is. W e l l , I was back in Bronson a
few weeks ago and dropped in to see Mr. Bodley who got out his files
on the whereabouts of the class. I ' l l try to tell you all I can.
Matthew Albright is farming a 200 acre farm near Bronson and
very happily married, and Esther Alleshouse is also married and living on a farm near Coldwater. D a v i d Badder is a construction engineer on the subterranean highway between Chicago and Detroit. M a r tha Bell is doing fine as a violinist in an all girl orchestra in Philadelphia, and Gertrude Blaskie is Henry Ford's private secretary. B o n n i e
Byers has acquired a reputation f o r her unique dress designing and
she operates here in New York. Genevieve Eddy and her sister are
stars in television with their guitars over the Blue network P h y l l i s
Elliott is the receptionist in the Wendell Priest Helicopter Mfg. Co.,
of which Wendell is the owner and president, and Gilbert Rubley is the
production manager. M a r g a r e t Ernsberger is a housewife here i n
Bronson and Joan Garman is now Mrs. Max Shaffmaster and has twin
girls. M a x is head draftsman at the General Motors plant in Detroit.
Betty Gibbons is a hairdresser in Hollywood working for the M. G. M.
Studios. L e o n a r d Hankins received his greatest wish and is a pilot for
the Pan-American Airlines. Y o u knew of course that Charles Hilton
is Secretary o f Agriculture, Walter Reed is Postmaster General, and
Clyde Williams is General o f the A r m y A i r Corps, a l l having their
headquarters in Washington, D. C.
Have you seen Mary Kathryn Kolease lately? I heard she and
Michael were married a short time ago. I saw Doris Lane a few days
ago. S h e made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House as a concert pianist, and after her grand performance I went back stage to
see her. M y r o n Larimer is also in Washington as director of the C.
A. P. Bernadine Smoker owns and operates a b i g dude ranch i n
Wyoming. F l o r i a n Syc has attained the position as Flight Commander on an aircraft carrier making its run in the Pacific. I went to
a well known vaudeville last Saturday and was much surprised to find
that Ray Penner, famous "endman" is none other than Bill Thurber!
I also saw Maybelle Washburn while I was home and she's head
nurse at the Percy Jones Hospital. M a r y Virginia White is the Dean
of Girls at the Boston Finishing School for Girls. M o n r o e Wilber is
a salesmanager for the Perfects Mfg. Co.
That just about tells the story, Jerry. I f you ever get away from
that chain of department stores of yours long enough to come to New
York, I'd like to show you my office and shop. I ' v e really been having a lot of fun with my interior decorating work, and have done quite
a bit of traveling through it. I would like to see you.
Your old friend,
Marge

To help win the war and make a better world to live in after
peace is established w e must first have healthy bodies, well trained
minds, high moral standards, thrifty habits, a willingness to serve and
cooperate, and a sympathetic understanding of world problems.
A thorough knowledge of the fundamentals now will aid us
in becoming skilled, efficient, and specialized workers for tomorrow.
In keeping with these principles the Junior High is bringing
cheer and comfort to our sick and wounded servicemen through the
Junior Red Cross. T h e i r activities in the National Scrap Drives, Stamp
and Bond Sales, Victory gardens, caring for children of war workers,
messenger service, and harvesting crops will help make victory possible.
They have been given an opportunity to practice good citizenship through the Boy and Girl Scouts, School Safety Patrol, Jive Hive
and a program o f social studies stressing our part in the new world
order when Victory is won.
There are 25 in the eighth grade and 30 in the seventh grade.

VIKING STAFF
Although there were many shortages again this year due to
war conditions, the Bronson Senior class decided that the year wouldn't
be complete without the Yearbook of 1944. S o the plans started rolling. T h e Leone Studios o f Sturgis was secured t o take the majority
of the pictures and the others by Donald Bodley. T h e pictures were
engraved by the Fort Wayne Engraving Company and all printing was
done by the Bronson Journal office.
Being able t o obtain plastic binding this year w i l l improve
the book to a great extent.
We wish to give our sincere thanks and appreciation
to the business men who gave us such splendid financial support. T h e editors also thank the Senior class for their grand
cooperation by getting their various articles to us so promptly.

The School gets the benefits,
The students get the fame,
The engraver gets the money,
But—the staff gets the blame.

SENIOR PLAY
"Ask M e Another," a farce comedy i n three acts, b y Glenn
Hughes, was t h e p l a y chosen b y t h e Senior class a n d presented o n
March 31, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Tharp.
The cast w a s as f o l l o w s : W i l m a Shepard, a n office g i r l ,
Phyllis E l l i o t t ; M r . Gates, managing editor o f t h e Herald, Charles
Hilton; Mrs. Snell, society editor, Martha Bell; Harriet Hogan ( " A u n t
Sally") a cooking expert, Geraldine Yesh; Joyce Martin, a newspaper
woman, Bonnie Byers; M i k e Wa r r e n , a reporter o n t h e Examiner,
Leonard Hankins; Joe Webber, a detective, M a x Shaffmaster; Elouise
Archer, a society girl, Joan Garman; Mrs. 0 . B. Hammond, a wealthy
widow, Marjorie Shook; Frank Sylvester, a cook, Bill Thurber; Marco,
mystic, Walter Reed; "Shorty" Cass, an ex-convict, Myron Larimer.
The plot centers around Marco—not the real Marco, who upsets matters generally, but the fictitious Marco known only to the managing editor and Joyce Martin.
Joyce i s Marco, whose column has done so w e l l f o r " T h e
Herald" that smart young Mike Warren o f the rival newspaper, tries
to find the mystery man.
Mrs. Hammond brings suit against "The Herald" f o r describing her jewels i n the paper i n such detail t h a t the robber made o ff
with them. " S h o r t y " Cass decides t h a t i t i s safer t o collect the reward f o r the recovery o f the jewels than to dispose o f them. M a r c o
hides the jewels in a box of Aunt Sally's freshly baked cookies.
It is Joyce's shrewdness t h a t is responsible f o r the solution
of the jewel robbery, and w i t h the solution, various contributing complications are ironed out— w i t h romance not forgotten.

JUNIOR PLAY
"This Being Young" was the humorous comedy presented b y
the Junior class December 3, 1943, under the direction o f Miss M a r y
Rinehart. T h e play centers around Pam Powers (Yolanda Austin), a
modern up-to-the-minute g i r l o f fourteen, w i t h a l l the troubles o f the
world; Edwina ( H e l y n Radford), a sister o f Pam, so afraid love w i l l
pass her b y ; Marge (Peggy Tillotson), Pam's pal, whose religion i s
Hollywood; A u n t Phoebe (Joan Adams), a lovely young lady i n love
with a doctor, Doug Kirkland (Chub Brenner).
Phoebe goes t o N e w Yo r k a n d plays havoc w i t h Edwina's
romances. P a m a n d M a r g e have t h e dream o f visiting Hollywood.
When they see a chance f o r Phoebe's marrying an actor they f u r t h e r
the affair, disregarding the fact that Phoebe is in love with Doug.
Pislam (Norma McCracken) a colored maid; Nurse Vanniger
(Sheila McManus) ; S y l v i a A s h t o n ( B a r b a r a Lawrence) ; E d w i n a ' s

Frederick), who came to cement Pan American relations; Dex Carlton
(Bob Calhoun) ; Jack Marriner (Laddie Kibiloski), a "know-it-all" who
never has a loss of words; all added interest to the plot.
Apparently everybody ends u p w i t h t h e w r o n g man, b u t
each turns out to be the r i g h t one. H a p p i l y Pam aad Marge are on
their way t o Los Angeles, which t o them is just a mere "suburb" t o

�SOMETHING N E W H A S B E E N A D D E D
Something new has been added t o the B. H . S. sports program this year. I n s t e a d o f the usual baseball, track has been substituted this spring.
Coach Hilton says that there has been no track at B. H. S. for
a number o f years, b u t the Athletic Committee decided t o make this
change since track is a better muscle builder than baseball. D u r i n g
this time of war more and more boys are needed who are well-built and
have endurance.
The boys participated i n the following exercises: F i f t y and
100 yard dashes, relay races, broad jumping, high jumping, and pole
vaulting.
Daily practice w i l l be combined w i t h the noon hour and the
boys will go to the athletic field f o r 30 to 45 minutes practice, then return f o r their showers and dinners.
The annual track meet was held at Union City May 12. O v e r
100 boys participated in the meet at that time.
The boys are sure to enjoy this addition to our sports program
and i t turned out a very good replacement f o r baseball.

History of The Class of 1946

�VA L E D I C TO R I A N
Will A m e r i c a M e e t T h e Challenge?
The greatest challenge i n t h e h i s t o r y o f t h e
United States is now before us. T h i s challenge,
this responsibility, i s t o establish peace f o r u s
and f o r t h e o t h e r nations o f t h e world. I t h a s
been said t h a t " a country is as good as the people w h o i n h a b i t i t , " therefore, as individuals we
must l e a r n t o u n d e r s t a n d t h e people o f t h e
world, so our nation as a whole m a y come to a n
everlasting peace w i t h t h e r e s t o f t h e w o r l d
I t i s we, t h e citizens o f A m e r i c a , u p o n w h o m
tills great task falls.
While the world at large is hungry and threadbare we are in good physical health and are wellcicthed. W e have d u g deep i n t o o u r resources
for the w a r chest, but we still have vast n a t u r a l
resources. O u r v i t a l forces a r e n o t exhausted.
Through t h e t i r e d w o r n eyes o f Europe we look
younger, m o r e vigorous, m o r e f o r t u n a t e t h a n
ever before.
Europe is a picture of physical destruction and
human exhaustion; i t tells a continuous story o f
broken homes, broken bodies, broken cities a n d
broken spirits. S u r e l y everyone w i l l agree t h a t
the n a t i o n t h a t i s m o s t n e a r l y n o r m a l a t t h e
end of the w a r must make the sacrifice f o r leading t h e r e s t t o w a r d a w o r l d - w i d e peace. W i l l
America meet t h i s challenge?
The decline o f n a t i o n s follows t h e possession
of g r e a t power. U s i n g t h i s power w i t h o u t t h e
great leadership t h a t is essential to every nation
will f u r t h e r lead to down-fall. T o use our power
to t h e best advantage, w e m u s t investigate t h e
reasons behind t h e demands o f o u r fellow countries, so t h a t we w i l l be able t o f o r m a n honest
opinion o f t h e i r government. T h e y m u s t a l s o
have a complete understanding o f o u r government.
To formulate this, a l l nations must approve o f
each o t h e r. T h e A m e r i c a n people d o n o t a p prove o f communistic Russia, t h e revolutions i n
China, nor do we approve of the methods Britain
uses t o govern h e r colonies. I n fact, i f we stop
to realize i t , w e d o n o t even approve o f each
other i n t h i s United States. T h e r e f o r e , t o cope
with t h i s situation, w e m u s t understand t h e
customs a n d mannerisms o f these countries s o
that t h e i r moves w i l l seem justifiable.
I t i s m o s t obvious t h a t o n e o f o u r greatest
powers consists o f ships, planes, tanks, guns, and
the m e n skilled t o use t h e m . W e h a v e i n t h e
past years been accused o f m a n y things, b u t we
have n e v e r been accused o f being a m i l i t a r i s t i c
nation. I t i s therefore apparent t h a t w e never
have a n d never w i l l use o u r m i l i t a r y power t o
threaten t h e people o f Europe. U s i n g force and

military power w i l l n o t b r i n g u s together: i t i s
the universal desire for peace, and understanding
t h a t w i l l insure lasting peace.
Thousands lost t h e i r lives t h a t w e m i g h t stay
a free nation, free f r o m Nazism a n d t h e horrors
that i t brought; so i t is now u p to us, the A m e r ican people, t o p r o t e c t t h a t peace w h i c h t h e y
won f o r us. P r o t e c t i t so t h a t i t w i l l n o t have
to be f o u g h t f o r i n a n o t h e r w a r. W i l l A m e r i c a
meet t h e challenge?
Blanche Marie Jones.

S A L U TATO R I A N
There are a multitude o f problems facing A m erica t o d a y. T h e r e i s l i t t l e hope f o r a solution
to these problems unless each American becomes
aware o f h i s responsibility a n d accepts i t . T h e
responsibilities o f a n A m e r i c a n a r e m a n y b u t
those t o be considered here are three,--political,
social, a n d spiritual.
First, t h e political demands o n a n American.
One o f t h e most cherished privilege f o r A m e r i cans t o d a y i s t h e privilege o f v o t i n g , y e t h o w
many people, qualified t o vote, forget t o register,
forget t o vote, j u s t d o n ' t vote o r vote a straight
ticket w i t h o u t investigating t h e c h a r a c t e r, i n tegrity and political philosophy of the individual
candidate. P r i m a r y a n d local elections are j u s t
as important as national elections and should be
considered so b y voters
A g o o d A m e r i c a n s h o u l d a l s o h a v e a social
visicn. To l e r a n c e i s i m p o r t a n t a n d v i t a l i n t h e
American w a y o f life. T h e race problem, l a b o r
and management, and foreign relations would be
helped immeasurably i f tolerance was practiced
by Americans. H o w e v e r tolerance i s n ' t enough.
Unless people see t h e needs o f t h o s e a r o u n d
about t h e m a n d d o something about t h e m t h e y
are n o t meeting t h e i r social obligation.
Of a l l t h e t r a d i t i o n s a n d influences h a r d e d
down t o us by t h e Fathers o f o u r Country, none
is so great as our Christian heritage. T r u l y t h e
early leaders o f o u r c o u n t r y walked a n d talked
with God. I m p o r t a n t meetings were started o ff
with a prayer meeting instead of a cocktail party
and m e n d i d n o t consider themselves a n d t h e i r
judgments a n d o p i n i o n s sufficient w i t h d i v i n e
aid. O n e m a n has well said, "America is hanging o n t h e a p r o n s t r i n g s o f h e r forefathers."
That i s v e r y t r u e a n d A m e r i c a needs t o r e t u r n
to t h e God o f o u r fathers.
May Americans accept t h e challenge our h e r i tage offers, politically, socially, a n d s p i r i t u a l l y,
and do all possible to make this country all t h a t
it stands for.

ON THE GRIDIRON - 1945 FOOTBALL SEASON
The 1945 football season opened with Bronson having a strong
but inexperienced team. Opening with a 6-6 tie with Athens, the
Vikings went the rest of the season undefeated until the final game of
the season. I n that game our boys were defeated by Quincy by one
point.
The season's record was:
Bronson 25, Athens 6; Bronson 25, Sturgis "B" 6; Bronson 12,
Litchfield 0; Bronson 25, Jonesville 0; Bronson 32, Union City 6; Bronson 12, Reading 0; Bronson 19, Homer 0; Bronson 6, Quincy 7.
Athens finished in first place, Quincy in second, Bronson in third
in the Little "C" Conference.
Losing only six Seniors from the squad there is lots of hope for
an even better 1946-47 team. B e s t of luck to you, fellows!

The 1945-46 Student Council has completed another successful year of serving
the student body o f Bronson Junior and
Senior High. U n d e r t h e leadership o f
very efficient officers, elected b y popular
vote from the student body, the Council
has finished its tenth year of service.
The two main points in having a student union is to teach the people of Bronson H i g h t h e functions o f a democratic
form o f Government, and to give the students more opportunity to choose the kind
of activities that they would like throughout the year.
A few of the activities brought about
by student union, are the A l l -Hi parties,
assemblies, and H i -Times. T h i s year the

Hotel D i n i n g R o o m , M a g t . C . B u r n e t t

Student Council also sponsored the band
and sports benefit. T h i s is to be an annual event called t h e " Vi k i n g ' s A n n u a l
Revue." H o w e v e r, since this is put on to
raise money for the music department and
for sports equipment, admission i s n o t
covered by the Student Council dues.
The officers o f t h i s year's Student
Council are as follows: Nadine Kinter, as
president; To m Rissman, vice-president;

Had you been there, you would have walked

mounds of candy cotton which looked like sugary
spider webs, greeted their eyes.
This make-believe candyland was t h e proud
presentation o f the Junior class of Bronson H i g h
School as a last farewell to the graduating Senior
class.

The Junior-Senior reception was held i n t h e
high school gymnasium on May 24. T h e banquet

chicken w i t h all the trimmings, and pie a la mode
for dessert. M r . Bodley, M i l t o n L a r i m e r, t h e
Senior class president, and Rita Geiger made the
after-dinner speeches. M u s i c f o r d a n c i n g w a s
provided by Guy Fitzsimmons and his orchestra.
The Seniors extend t h e i r sincere thanks and
appreciation t o t h e J u n i o r class f o r a l l t h e t i m e

M E M O R I E S O F B . H . S.
The r o o m w a s b e a u t i f u l l y i l l u m i n e d b y the s e t t i n g o f the sun.
As f l i c k e r s o f l i g h t danced o v e r t h e books o n t h e s h e l f , a s i f
they w e r e h a v i n g f u n . I s a t i n a m a r k e d u p s t u d y h a l l d e s k
and I f e l t t e r r i b l y sad and blue, because I a m a s e n i o r now so
I a m to be one o f those l u c k y f e w. L u c k y f e w, you s a y ? Y e s ,
we a r e called that because we a r e leaving school. F o r the lower
classmen think we should be v e r y happy to leave and call us j u s t
sentimental fools! Y e s , there was a t i m e when school just meant
books and more books to a kid like m e , but sitting here now alone
with only m e m o r i e s f o r company, I know I was wrong that I can
plainly see. O u r school, B . H . S . , with i t ' s b r i c k covered w a l l s ,
each r o o m a n d h a l l s w i t h the l o c k e r s now standing s o s t a t e l y
and s t i l l , w i l l a l w a y s r e m a i n s o m e w h e r e i n m y m e m o r y, e v e n
when I ' v e l i v e d m y youth and I a m going down l i f e ' s h i l l . I can
r e m e m b e r t h o s e c l e a r c r i s p y nights a t f o o t b a l l g a m e s , w i t h
excitement and happiness still; while basketball nights also w e r e
happy ones f o r m e w i t h w a r m f r i e n d s , popcorn, and such good
spirit i t seemed i t would bubble o v e r and spill. O h ! yes we w e r e
a happy and noisy crowd a t our school dances too. A n d i n study
hail, w e t h r e w e r a s e r s , s a t and chewed g u m , and w i t h f r i e n d s
we always found time to tool. Y e s , I know that is not the purpose
of o u r being i n school, y o u ' l l i m m e d i a t e l y s a y, but n e v e r f e a r,
f o r w i t h the e x c e l l e n t guidance o f o u r t e a c h e r s and o u r e f f o r t s
and s t u d y, o u r education w i l l c e r t a i n l y p a y. I t i s t r u e t h a t we
sometimes t r i e d to have too much fun at a t i m e , but M r. B o d l e y,
the superintendent, s a w to i t that we g o t f i x e d up f o r each and
e v e r y boner we p u l l e d just fine. B u t I a l m o s t forgot to t e l l you
about some o f the m o s t w o n d e r f u l people i n our school. T h e y
are o u r j a n i t o r s who w o r k , f i x a n d clean and do t h e i r v e r y best
if you would want to judge t h e m by a s e t of r u l e s . O h l I guess
I w i l l h a v e t o s t o p m y r e m i n i s c i n g , f o r t h e s u n i n the w e s t i s
dipping v e r y low. I t ' s l a s t r a y s s e e m to t e l l m e t h a t i t i s t i m e
to l e a v e , so I w i l l gather m y m e m o r i e s together and p r e p a r e to
go. B u t I w i l l stop and take, j u s t one l a s t l i n g e r i n g look a t the
clock, the m a r k e d up desks, and the books t h a t a r e now on the
shelf a l l a r o u n d m e . I t s e e m s I c a n j u s t s e e a l l the t e a c h e r s
and friends I m e t here throughout the y e a r s and with this m e m o r y and a hopeful face toward the future, I leave m y dear B. H . S.
behind me.

We have f i n a l l y reached the first plateau in

unselfishly given us—gifts we c a n never repay,
but for which we are humbly grateful.

��Class History
It was the year of ' 5 4
When first w e entered the door
Of dear, o l d Bronson H i g h But please d o n ' t ask us why.
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.

Mrs. H a e n n i , h o m e economics
teacher at B. H. S.. b e g a n teaching

She has been a tremendous help
in preparing us for our senior trip,
and we are sincerely grateful f o r
her patience and f u l l co-operation.
We o f the Class o f 1958 extend
our wholehearted thanks to Mrs.
Haenni for her untiring work w i t h

ROSE-MARIE HA ENNI

As one o f our class sponsors this
year, M r . Z a b o n i c k has r e a l l y done
a great j o b i n helping us t o reach
our goal, t h e long-awaited senior
trip.
He has given up a l o t o f his t i m e
to help us w i t h our projects, a n d
when we have f a l l e n down along
the w a y, h e has always been there
with a word o f encouragement.
The senior class as a whole thinks
he has been one o f the best sponsors
we have ever had. W e are deeply
grateful f o r a l l his t i m e and e ff o r t .

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.

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.

We, t h e class o f 1959, p r o u d l y dedicate o u r
annual to the teachers and citizens of our c o m m u nity. N o t a single member of our class can ever
forget w h a t t h e y have done for us. I f their untiring effort and generosity had ever ceased, o u r
school would not be what i t is today.
For the past twelve years we have been asking
favors o f them, a n d now we give one - b y d e d icating our annual to them.

Jim Haenni

�APPRECIATION

Expressing our appreciation is one of the most
pleasant things we have to do. W e wish to take
this opportunity t o t h a n k t h e annual staff, a n d
members of the class, who participated i n developing this annual. O u r deepest appreciation goes
to Miss Chisholm and Mr. Brusak, whose patience
and w i l l i n g assistance are evident throughout this
annual.

�CLASS HISTORY
Dear Diary:

S e p t e m b e r

1955

Last spring when Eighth-Graders were we,
Of the counselors, w e d i d plea
For a diploma--easy yet complete;
A l l our majors and minors to m e e t .
Now we are here--Freshman, a hundred- f o l d ,
Fine vocations and careers hoping to m o l d .
Busy getting acquainted, soon the t i m e is here,
For Initiation- - t h e b i g day o f the year!
Then t o settle down in earnest for the first year o f the four,
Disecting i n Biology, translating Latin or writing themes galore!
But the monotony was shattered now and then
By a Nicolette Bologna - Ice Cream Party- - r e m e m b e r when',
Diary Dear:

Back " i n the swing- as Sophomores a r e we,
Money for our Senior Tr i p is the goal we see.
Bake sales, c o a t check, record hops, t o o ,
Countless things for us t o do!
"Friends, Romans, C o u n t r y m e n . " occupied our minds,
Latin, G e o m e t r y, a n d more subjects of a l l kinds;
But the biggest event o f the year, i t seems
Was to order class rings- - b y a l l means!

Not Seniors yet but coming nearer
Our high school days seem a l i t t l e dearer.
Proudly wearing our rings, a n d working hard
On projects w i t h money as our reward.
"Come Out o f the Closet" was our play,
A great b i g hit, s o we say!
Our Prom took the Seniors AROUND THE WORLD,
For them, t h e red carpet we unfurled!

school w a s l i k e . W e h a d o u r class p a r t y at Greenwald Park, geography in Room 222, a n d our fun everywhere.
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.
With t h e t i t l e o f freshmen, w e entered high school and enjoyed the privilege of actually choosing a l l o u r
subjects— w e l l , a l m o s t a l l . 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. T h e unrelenting seniors t r i e d , t o r m e n t e d , a n d
tortured us. B a l l games and dances became more and more important t o us.
We h a d charge o f t h e coatroom in our sophomore year and sponsored our first record hops, s a v i n g m o n e y
for our senior t r i p . W e were seen wandering through the halls quoting, "Friends, Romans, a n d Countrymen, " f o r
our sophomore English class. T h e d r i v e r t r a i n i n g c a r (and teacher) received a t r y i n g year f r o m our m e m b e r s .
Our junior play, "Room For One M o r e , " and our prom, "Neptune's Ball, " w e r e the most important features
of o u r j u n i o r a c t i v i t i e s a l o n g w i t h our unforgettable United States history class. T h e concession stands, r e c o r d
hops, c a r washes, a n d t h e Christmas Sno-Ball D a n c e proved o u r class t o be an ambitious hard-working g r o u p .
As w e solemnly preceeded t h e seniors as Honor Guards o n t h e i r graduation n i g h t , w e looked up to t h e m a n d
dreamed o f the day when we would be graduating, t o o .
In our busy and active senior year, w e sold magazines, Christmas cards, c a n d y, Bronson Journal s u b s c r i p tions, a n d sponsored several record hops. W e enjoyed presenting "Tish, " a three act comedy, a s our successful
senior p l a y. W e are very proud o f our class and hope that through the years we w i l l always remember our friends
and happy experiences at Bronson High.
And now here we are. W e have been together as a class for six years, m a n y of us for twelve- - a n d now we
are g e t t i n g ready to go our separate ways. W e ' v e had our last high school dance, o u r last high school e l e c t i o n ,
our l a s t h i g h school class. W e ' v e enjoyed a l l the pep meetings, parties, plays, assemblies, b a l l games, s c h o o l
papers, a n d even our inevitable civics tests.
These h a v e been the stepping stones that w i l l pave the way t o a f u l l and happy future in whatever path o f
life we choose to f o l l o w.

The Junior Play this year was entitled "The Unguided Miss." I t was the story of a teenage girl who knows
nothing of the word "responsibility." S h e is very active in school l i f e and activities, b u t studying is - - - O U T !
Her boyfriend borrowed her father's garage to rebuild a motorcycle into a Jaguar. T h i s is bad enough, b u t to top
it off, t w o foreign students come to stay with them and their neighbors. T h e foreign girl is a mama and papa's
girl, w h i c h aggravates her enough, b u t when the girl also gets to be homecoming queen, a n d her boyfriend - watch out for trouble!
All in a l l i t was a very exciting and humorous play.

The wrestling team this year chalked up no impressive records, although most of the individuals who w i l l
be returning next year gained a large amount of experience which is one o f the factors that determine whether the
person w i l l win or lose.
This is the first year that wrestling has been considered a varsity sport at Bronson High School. I n accordance w i t h this sport, t h e athletic department purchased a regulation mat.
Coach Atkocunis is the person in charge o f training the wrestling team. T h e y competed with teams from:
Coldwater, Sturgis, Howe, and White Pigeon.

In developing this book we, the annual
staff of the 1965 VIKING, have tried t o
capture the unforgettable memories created throughout this school year.
We have presented a pictorial record of
the many activities enjoyed by the faculty

We wish to thank all those, both students
and faculty, without whose cooperation this
book would not have been possible.

and who found a place in our hearts forever.
And as someone once said:

The girlhood years,
Are gone - But not forgotten."

is expected by the fall of 1965. W e , the class of 1965, feel somewhat envious of the underclassmen
who will be able to use this new facility.
