Table of Contents 1 �WeDedicate Clare Laws began working in the Bronson School system in 1963 on a temporary basis. However, because of the efficient manner in which she handled her duties she is now finishing twenty-one years of uninterrupted service as study hall supervisor and attendance clerk. All of us will feel our loss next year without Mrs. Laws who hopes to have more free time for travel and family. She in turn says she will greatly miss the association with staff and students. Marjorie Keeslar is finishing twenty-one years as a cook for the high school cafeteria. In reference to her involvement she said, "I have enjoyed the work. Many changes have taken place, but the students remain their loveable selves, complaining one day and complimenting the next." She is looking forward to having more opportunity for travel, hobbies and family. John Ash spent ten years as a custodian in the Bronson School system following twelve years with Sturgis Public Schools. Having worked the night shift for part of that time, he saw students in their after-school activites and says he will miss them. However, he is looking forward to having more time for his grandchildren, reading and riding his bicycle. We will miss these who have been dedicated to their jobs and wish to express our appreciation for all our hourly employees who quietly and faithfully work in the background 2 . . . this 1984 edition of the VIKING to three of our supportive staff who are retiring this year. �At the Sixth Annual Junior Miss Pageant held in the Tibbits Opera House, Saturday, November 19, 1983, Lorinda Mayer was named Branch County's Junior Miss for 1984. She was selected from 11 contestants, all of whom were seniors in their respective high schools. Each girl was judged on youth fitness; creative and performing arts; and poise and appearance. Loonda was the first girl from outside the Cokf water area ever to have earned the right to represent Branch County in Michigan's 26th Annual Junior Miss Program, staged in the Marshall Middle School auditorium January 21, 1984. Out of 28 contestants Lonnda had the high honor of being named third runner-up. Her performance in the creative and performing arts category was a song and dance routine that she choreographed herself — " A Bushel and a Peck" from the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls. As members of the yearbook staff, we have been pleased to write the above in recognition of Lonnda's achievements as a person and in appreciation for the two years she has served as editor of the 1983 and 1984 Bronson High School Viking.

You help me with my problems, And our joys together we share. I can't imagine life Without a friend like you. Once we get together We are an indivisible two! All the fun I've shared with you Can never be replaced. Together we've had many good times, And conquered the problems we've had to face. So I want you to know That I am always here, If ever you need a friend To make your thoughts clear.

How we wish we could turn time back. To share the friendship again. If it were only possible. In time we shall accept your absence, But, we will never forget your presence.

Talented and Gifted Participants included: Beth Herman, Kathy Czajkowski, Susan Carpenter, Shelly Geiger, Tim Wotta and Jesse McGuire. What is a talented and/or gifted student? One definition might be as follows: A talented and gifted student is one who does things a little earlier, a little better, a little faster, and usually a little differently from most other students. Whatever definition is chosen we think Beth Herman, Kathy Czajkowski, Susan Carpenter, Shelly Geiger, Tim Wotta, and Jesse McGuire will fit. These students were selected to participate in the T.A.G. Conference at Battle Creek Central High School. For two days they met and shared communication experiences with others of their caliber from Calhoun and Branch County schools. All participants agreed that hearing experts in the fields of communications and working in discussion groups with their peers was a very rewarding and enlightening experience.

I n the opinion o f the advisors Dave Lockwood and Vera Hurd they could have very easily ended in third had they not lost a couple of matches by very narrow margins. The teams took on a new look with monogrammed sweaters provided through an anonomous source. The scores for the second round of play are as follows: Bronson 115 115 110 125 110 155 Opposing Team Olivet 135 Maple Valley 155 Pennfield 120 Springfield 105 Bellevue 120 St. Phillips 90 AJV team, made up of those not quizzing on the varsity squad, saw limited competition because only a few SMAA schools had a second team. 76 Questions for competition included the academic areas of fine arts, literature, science, social studies and mathematics. The following questions are taken from one of the quiz sessions. 1The style most closely connected with Vincent Van Gogh is? 2. The diagonals of a rhombus are 15" and 20" What is its area? 3.

It was a learning year with the underclassmen gaining very valuable experience. The Vikes had trouble getting into the end zone, and had too many turnovers. As a result, they saw the season end with 0 wins and 9 losses. Although it was bit of a discouraging year for the Varsity Vikes each felt that they had gained from their experience and the time, effort and hard work put into shaping their team was all well worthwhile. 78 Varsity Football t �Respectable Season Despite Circumstances First Row: Chris Canbury, Rodney Sgambelluri, Tony Herman, Mike Kimes, Tim Moore, Teyyr Rossell, Jamie Smoker, David Stanley.

They placed tenth in the Regionals. The team consisted of only one senior and the rest were a l l underclassmen which hampered the team due to a lack of experience. Junior, Jeff Case, was selected to the All Conference team for the second straight year. Apromising young golfer, Tom Kehoe, will be sadly missed by his fellow golfers next year.

The season was sparked by some fine performances as three runners qualified for the State meet. They are Jesse McGuire, Chuck Cline and Jean Miller. McGuire finished second and was named to the All-State team. Both McGuire and Cline were made all conference and named team captains. Beth Barrows and Jean Miller were chosen co-captains for the girls. �Varsity Encounters Disappointing Season Unfortunately, the Varsity team suffered a disappointing season, losing 13 games and winning 6 overall. The league record was three wins and 9 losses. Mr Zabonick's most enviable career record now stands at 419 wins and only 186 losses. Several factors contributed to this year's disappointing season including numerous injuries, only three returning players, and team difficulties in functioning as a unit. Coach Zabonick felt that the season might have had a different outcome i f Bronson could have beaten Maple Valley which would have given his players the determination needed to win four or five more games. First Row: Randy Clark, Gary Ratkowski, Ron Cary, Bob Mayer, Jim Miller, and Chris Smoker.

The J.V.'s were under the supervision of their coach, Mike Miller, who stated, "I'm really happy with the season; the players worked hard and played excellently as a team." The team's strong point was defense, holding their opponents to an average of 36 points a game, while the Viking offense pumped in an average of 56 points. Perhaps the most spectacular victory for the squad came late in the season when they tromped Three Rivers by 27 points, revenging an earlier loss of 40-41.

As we go our separate ways To face what the future has in store, Remember all that we made it through As the class of '84. Memories 1 5 9 �Time — that infinite number of seconds, minutes, and hours. The time we have, we take for granted. It is as if we have that infinite amount of hours to do everything we wish to do. And yet our time is numbered, our seconds precious. Every second we waste, is a second gone from our lives forever. And no matter how hard we try, we can do nothing to regain that time that we have lost. Time is that unconquerable thing that no one has the power to begin nor the will to make end. That beautiful thing that we wish we could stop when things are at their best and speed up when things are at their worst. This book holds within it the times spent at B.H.S. and treasures every moment, knowing these times are now in the past and only remain as memories for us to look back upon. But it also conveys a very important message to all . .. Live for every second, enjoy for every minute, and love for every hour, for sand is slowly going through the time-glass of life, and sobn, too soon, the sand will run out. I would like to extend a special Thank-you to my staff for all the continuous hours spent in designing and developing this year's yearbook. The publication of a yearbook takes much time and hard work and without each staffers dedication the completion of the book would not be possible. This completion also requires guidance. The guidance of someone who is willing to offer their time, knowledge and understanding to anyone at anytime. That person is our advisor, Mrs. Vera Hurd. In our eyes she is not only an outstanding advisor but an outstanding individual as well. To my classmates of 1984, I would like to wish you the best in all that you do, and may you find success and happiness in the many roads ahead of you. Lorinda Mayer Yearbook Editor Gathering and organizing the countless candids and endless copy for a 160-page yearbook requires the cooperation and hard work of many people. I am especially indebted to the dedication of our editor, Lorinda Mayer, and all the staff who benefited from her inspiration. Aspecial thank-you goes to all our advertisers, without whom this book could never have been; to Lee Zimmerman of Taylor Publishing Company for the hours of good advice; to Ron Philbrick and Carousel Studio for helping us with our photography; to Ray Smith of the Bronson Journal for pictures and copy; and to the administration, staff and students of Bronson High School who so graciously responded to the innumerable questions, "takes" and "retakes."

The gifts presented ranged from a joke book for Mr. Scully to a pair of antlers for Mr. Bobalik.

"Love Stinks" served as the theme, with decorations provided b y Charmin, White Cloud, and Northern. Unfashionable attire included togas, faded blue jeans and torn sneakers. Blue light specials were held every half hour and prizes such as mouth wash, air freshener and odor eaters were given to the winners. T h e famous D.J.'s, " D i r t , Waste and Scum" otherwise known as Bob Mayer, Gary Ratkowski and Brian Eley, helped make the evening a success. Queen Chris Ludwick and King Mary Albright were chosen by a chance drawing and were crowned with cardboard hats and robed with old curtains. By a unanimous vote of the student council, half of the proceeds from the Morp were contributed to the African famine appeal. Because of the success of the first Morp, the student council hopes the dance will become a lasting tradition at Bronson High School. 1. Queen Chris and King Mary 2. Joe Moon 3.

Steve Salyer Coach Martin Woodcox, in his 15th year as the boys' tennis coach, led his team to a 5-9 record. Bronson tied for first in the Pennfield Tournament and finished second in the Bronson Invitational. Coach Woodcox noted that the team fulfilled his expectations as many good players were lost from last year's team. "The boys came within a few points of winning many of their matches but were not able to pull out a victory.At the conclusion of the school year Mr. Woodcox retired from his teaching career, but plans to continue coaching girls' and boys' tennis. He has spent long hours building a tennis program for Bronson and should be commended for his diligent efforts.

Our Freshman year was just present, and now it's in the past. I just can't get over it, it seems so strange, yesterday we were the youngest here, and today we reign. Next thing! knew, it seems it happened over night, I was a Sophomore already. Wait, this can't be right. I was having such a good time with all of my friends, then all of a sudden, my Junior year was just around the bend. One morning I woke up and looked in my mirror, something wasn't right — I was starting my Junior year. While I was dreaming one night, I woke at the dawn only to find out the night was our Junior-Senior Prom. All of a sudden class was interrupted by the school P.A. Senior Class meeting will be held on Monday. When's our Senior trip, what colors will we wear? Decisions, this doesn't seem fair. Next thing! knew I was up on the stand with a smile on my face and a diploma in my hand.

There is a copy written by the yearbook staff displaying their varied styles; and there are pictures representing the wide spectrum of student life, reflecting the personalities of so many. All of it is forever imprinted on the pages of time. I would like to express my gratitude to: Ray Smith of the Bronson Journal for sharing his photographs; Morris Wood for the most recent aerial view on page two; Ron Philbrick and Floyd Prater of Carousel Studios for photographing our students and staff and encouraging us when we attempted o u r o w n ; L e e Z i m m e r m a n , representing Ta y l o r Publishing Company, whose positive attitude and excitement kept us going when the going got tough; our advertisers who gave us their financial support, and my yearbook staff people who made this an enjoyable job. A special note of appreciation goes to Michelle Perkins whose quiet spirit, gentle ways and persevering attitude made her a joy to work with. It is her ability to visualize and verbalize that makes this book a success. "To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the heaven" wrote Solomon. The changing seasons have rolled the years around and this is my final closing. Advising the Bronson High School VIKING for six years has been a pleasurable and satisfying experience.

When I took over as the advisor for the yearbook in late January, we were having serious problems in each of these areas; the problems continued to plague us throughout the second semester as well. However, the problems were finally overcome, and we are pleased to present to the student body and community this edition of the Viking, which is entitled, 100 Years o f Viking Pride. Three members of the staff deserve special mention for their hard work, positive attitudes, and their ability to get things done. They are: Dawn Miller, Jodi Woods and Rhonda Cook. Without the efforts of you three this book never would have been completed. Also, I would like to thank Ron Philbrick o f Carousel Studios and Ray Smith of the Bronson Journal for their time and pictures, many of which were used in this year's Viking. Many thanks also to Lee Zimmerman of Taylor Publishing for your "Let's-goget-'em" attitude and also for helping us lay out pages. I'm sure that you have a few additional grey hairs due to this year's Viking. To Bev Weaver, thank you for all of your help and advice; it was invaluable and I greatly appreciate it. Lastly, Linda Weber thank you for helping with the typing. Over the course o f the year, the yearbook had three different advisors. With all of these changes and the subsequent lack of consistent, coherent guidance to the staff, a number of events and groups are not represented in this book. To anyone who may feel slighted, please accept my apologies and understand that nothing was intentionally left out. By the time everyone receives their yearbook, I will be gone, and therefore, I would like to leave a couple of thoughts for next year's editor and staff. To next year's editor — Your main role is to guide and support the staff; it is not to be "the boss," also be willing to work hard and have pride in the quality of the yearbook. To the staff — pull together and be supportive of each other because i f you don't you will surely splinter apart, and that will make your work a thousand times more difficult.
