FOREWORD
The school year 1965-66 was busy and active for Bronson High School students. T h e excitement of the new building, classes, dances, meetings, club activities, and sports events all
helped to round out the year. As we look back, we have tried to pick some of the bright spots
that stand out i n our minds as important events i n the first year at the new school. W e wish
to express sincere thanks to a l l those who helped make this yearbook possible. W i t h this in
mind, we present to you your 1966 Viking.

A Life More Abundant
Martha Jo Monroe, Sec.; Linda Henderson, Treas.; Barry, Keeslar, V. Pres.; Barb Welch Pres.; and M r. Knapp, Advisor.

Our purpose is to give to Bronson High Students Christian activities without the "church"
atmosphere. We believe it is important to present the Christian life as exciting, and a real
challenge as well. We believe there is more to
being a Christian than just to attend church. A
life yielded to Jesus Christ is our aim for participants in the club.
First semester we had the film "Lost in the
Crowd", and a visit from Pastor Phillips. The
Bible is our handbook and our guide, and in it
Jesus said o f Himself " I a m come that they
might have life and that they might have i t
more abundantly." John 10:10.

The 1966 Homecoming was especially
memorable because o f the centennial festivities. There was a parade prior to the
game featuring the marching band a n d
centennial floats. A t h a l f time the band
presented a program and the 1966 Homecoming Queen was crowned.

The Homecoming game with Reading
proved to be a field day for our Vikings as
they routed t h e hapless Rangers 53-6.
Touchdowns were scored by Bruce Bonecutter, J i m Myers, Te r r y Yesh, George
Laws, Chris Haack, and "bulldozer- Steve
Danbury. Because the Vikings completek
dominated e v e r y q u a r t e r, a l l Bronson

Tracy seemed very pleased as the game
ended in success for his team.

The Vikings championship form was demonstrated
throughout the course o f the year. T h e amazing
2171 yds. rushing was spearheaded by the acrobatic
talent o f Gary Younce, w h o personally gained 604

yds. o n the ground. Bronson's passing attack relied
on the talented arm o f Dale Norton, w h o passed
for 7 T. D . 's and 651 yds. f o r a 47% completion
percentage. T h e defense's success was due t o the
accuracy o f Bob Redmond's signal c a l l i n g . S t e v e
Cary led this unit w i t h 77 tackles. T h e leading
scorer was Younce w i t h 79 pts. and Belote w i t h
33 pts. T h e specialty team which l i m i t e d the

RESERVE GRAPPLERS G A I N EXPERIENCE
With nine Seniors graduating this year, m a n y reserve wrestlers have a chance t o
wrestle Varsity next y e a r. A l t h o u g h they d i d n ' t have consistent chances t o wrestle,
the reserves s t i l l had opportunities to try out various holds against opposition. T h e y
also provided good competition for the Varsity wrestlers, keeping them on their toes.
Desire, hardwork, a n d a l i t t l e starving could make these wrestlers into another strong

This is the f i n a l year at BHS for the class o f '70.
The past four years have been f i l l e d w i t h many
memories, b o t h happy and sad. T h e only advice
we give to you who remain is to stick with i t and
stay i n school. W e a l l know t h a t at times i t doesn't
seem worth i t but when you get that l i t t l e piece o f
paper that says you are a graduate o f BHS, t h a t ' s
when you realize that i t is worth i t a l l . B u t just because we have graduated doesn't mean we have
finished our education; i n fact, o u r education has
only begun.

�Homecoming

Homecoming was a cold event
this year. Miss Alice Klavinski
was crowned by Virginia McDonald,
last year's Homecoming Queen.
Due to not having a field o f our
own, instead of having class floats
we had walls of the gym to decorate.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - was the freshman
theme. T h e y placed 4th.

Aquarius was the theme chosen by the sophomores.
This wall placed 3rd.

�The theme o f the senior w a l l was Memories Are Made O f This. T h e
senior w a l l placed 2nd.

This year the seniors had t h e task o f working in the Queen and her
court.

�We, the annual staff, would like to
dedicate the 1972 y i l L s i to Miss
Patricia Chisholm, Miss Chisholm
began teaching in Bronson in 1948 at
the junior high level, and has now
been here the longest of any of the
high school faculty. I n the mid 50's
she started participating with Mrs.
Tharp in drama. Eventually she and
Mrs. Tharp shared the responsibility
of the junior and senior plays. Miss
Chisholm started the childrens play as
an extra contribution to the community and also began the all-school play
instead of the two class plays. She
has been influencial in making Thespians successful here.

a

Miss Chisholm gives everybody credit, including the people who work behind the scenes. She has contributed a
great deal to the community as program material for unlimited organizations. Miss Chisholm has always had a
love of drama and is willing to work long enough to attain a degree of professionalism in the plays.
As a teacher Miss Chisholm gives of her time and energy to the fullest degree. She strives for perfection and she
knows the students are capable.
Because of her devotion to the Bronson community, she is much respected by all.

�M r. Beauchamp received his BS degree

"The theme o f this book seems to be
appropriate for me, since this is m y first
year at Bronson. I have thoroughly enjoyed m y work w i t h the school communi t y. "
" M y main task is to provide the leadership that w i l l upgrade our entire program
at a l l levels from kindergarten through
high school so that the delightful students
in this school system w i l l have one o f the
best school systems in the entire state.
In the pursuit of this accomplishment,
'We've Only Just Begun.'"

Mrs. T r a c y is the secretary to
the superintendent. S h e would
be hard t o get along without.

�We've Only Just Begun to Live
White Lace and Promises
A Kiss for Luck and We're on Our Way
We've Only Begun
Before the Rising Sun, We Fly
So Many Roads to Choose
We Start Off Walking and Learn to Run.
And Yet We've Just Begun.
Sharing Horizons That Are New to Us
Watching the Signs Along the Way.
Talking It Over. Just the Two of Us
Working Together Day to Day
Together.
And When the Evening Comes, We Smile
So Much of Life Ahead.
We'll Find a Place Where There's Room to Grow
And Yet We've Just Begun.
Carpenters

We have "only just begun" our school years, but already they are coming
quickly to an end Undergraduates will soon be starting a whole new year So
many roads to choose. . . so much of life ahead.

Peggy Dunn, Brenda Piatt, Co-Editors

Rose Marie Haenni is known throughout the c o m m u n i t y for her contagious
enthusiasm and willingness to help. A f t e r teaching i n Indiana for thirteen years she
came to Bronson in 1956. S i n c e then she has been the driving force of Bronson's
Home Ec Department. I n her role as an educator she initiated the concept o f co-

educational home-economics and such courses as f a m i l y l i v i n g and interior decorating.
On behalf of the student body we wish to thank Mrs. Haenni for her contribution to
our futures and to those o f our families and dedicate the 1973 Vi k i n g Yearbook to her.

�This year's 1974 VIKING is dedicated to Marie Tracy. She has been with the Bronson school system for
twenty-eight years. Starting in 1946 she has worked as secretary under 6 superintendents, Elwyn J. Hodicy, George Carpenter, Gareth Heisler, Gorden VanWeiren, Burton Aldrich, and Robert Beauchamp. We
hope that by dedicating this year's annual to Mrs. Tracy she will realize how much she has been appreciated and w i l l be remembered by all.

warm j a i l .

musical presentation "Rock, Rock With Old
Aesop." The student directors were Ellie Shoun

��AND NOW YOU TOO ARE LEAVING,
I SHAKE YOUR HAND,
OFFER YOU AN AWKWARD EMBRACE
AND SHED ONE SILENT TEAR.
BUT THE SADNESS IN THE TEARDROP
IS NOT BECAUSE I'LL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
THE SADNESS IS THERE BECAUSE
WHILE I SAW YOU,
WORKED WITH YOU,
SHARED EXPERIENCES WITH YOU,
I NEVER REALLY KNEW YOU.
AND SO I CRY FOR TIME LOST
AND WHO KNOWS?
PERHAPS LOVE LOST TOO.

Rick Knisely.

What Do You Really Want Out of Life?
Reality sometimes is hard to face
And life might not seem worthwhile, but,
If you can take it one day at a time
You can face each day with a smile,
Concern about what the future may hold
is important . . . that is true,
Knowing what you want out of life
Can mean a lot to you . . . but
Knowing about the future
Can't help you live right now
Now is the best time of your life
Yet you seem to rush through i t somehow,
If you would only take the time
to make the most of today,
So much is there to be shared with a friend
Before it all passes away
Each moment is made up of memories
That will be treasured your whole life through
Life's path of destiny and fate
is left to be determined by you,
Yes, what do you really want out of life?
The time to decide is soon.
by Cyndi Clinansmith

��We Have Reached Our Goal. .
The Seniors' f i n a l , memorable week began
May 29, 1975, w i t h Parent's Night. Various
kinds of songs and skits were performed in the
program which was also presented to the Student Body Friday, M a y 3 0 . Class Day was
concluded with the Senior Class walking down
Chicago Street i n their caps and gowns.
Baccalaureate services were held June 1 i n
the high school's gym.
The Class of '75 spent June 2 at Cedar Point
in Sandusky. Ohio f o r their class t r i p . Even
though i t rained i n the afternoon, i t turned
out to be a fairly nice night for the Seniors to
enjoy their trip at the amusement complex.
Commencement exercises were held Thursday, June 5 , 1975, outside a t t h e athletic
complex. According to tradition, the Class of
'75 was escorted b y the Class o f '76 toward
the last step in their completion of school.
Your friends say t h e y ' l l keep i n touch. B u t
you know they won't.
Your teachers say come back and see them.
And you know you won't.
Maybe someday i t w o n ' t m a t t e r. B u t , r i g h t
now, i t hurts a little.

�GROWS AT B.A.C.C.

The Branch Area Career Center instructs about 30 percent of our student body.
At B.A.C.C. students learn different trades that will help them prepare for life after high school.
The Center is 2 years old and has helped to give many students different experiences not found at
local high schools. These include home construction, graphic arts, auto body, foundry, cosmetology, which are just a few of many.

�The final day, the final hour,
That final bell,
Did you think they'd ever come?
Remember back on your first
School days saying:
" I think school is dumb!"

You can try to reach back
And make that last day linger.
But it's just like trying to
Grip sand.
It slips right through
Your fingers.

But now you're at the door,
And you begin to wonder why:
School used to be a drag,
But now it seems to fly.

And there you are in your
Cap and gown
And your mother starts to cry
And then there's nothing left
To be said

Collecting pictures, signing yearbooks
Always on the last day.
But it seems you can't write
Fast enough.
There's so much more you want to say.

Except, of course . .
Good-bye

be a source of understanding
And may you always
live in the present moment
aware and awake
to its possibilities.

�Memories Staff
'76
Now in its second year when deadlines
aren't met, pictures can't be found and
things just aren't going smoothly, we cry
twice as hard, but we all know that in the
end " t e a m w o r k ' i s what counts, and
every year our yearbook must improve.
The year began with experience using
terms, croppers, and the instrument that
is loved by all - our camera.
We attended a Yearbook Workshop a t
Kalamazoo Community College as guests
of Taylor Publishing Company.
Then, the day that we a l l waited for,
the announcing of Editors, and Assistants.
We had to earn $4,000, so off we ran,
grasping car keys to make our yearbook
happen by selling ads.
Events came and went and staff members armed with cameras were present to
capture every thrilling moment in a lasting memory.
As the year is drawing t o a close the
good times outnumber the bad.
Your yearbook i s completed a n d w e
hope you have as much fun remembering
as we had compiling your memories.

Kibiloski, Karla Younce, and Deb Stefanski, NOT PICTURED: Pete Rawden, and Carol Smoke'.

The time has gone so quickly
And now you have to leave
The hurt is so unbearable
It's so hard not to grieve

I'm sorry friend for all my tears
But I can't hold them back
I just can't face you going now
For it is strength I lack

Remember all the fun we shared
The good times and the bad
Will we still be able to fulfill
All the dreams we had

All along in my heart I knew
Some day we'd say good-bye
And that someday is here and now
I feel like I could die

Parting always hurts so much
Why does that have to be
All the joy you've given me
Is one big memory

I think of all the friends I've known
And then I think of you
All my thoughts and memories
I wish could still be true

I t s hard dear friend to say good-bye
And see you go your way
But life is full of sorrows that
We all must face someday

How should we say our last good-byes
A kiss - a look - a touch
Whichever way the pain's still there
It hurts so very much

Here we are, the time has come
I'm trying not to cry
In my heart it hurts so much
I just can't say good-bye.

Time has passed and we with time
I can't help but wonder why
There is nothing left that I can say
Except, m y friend . . . good-bye.

�Graduation '76

IIIIMMIIMalr-""

Preceding graduation the senior class enjoyed a day a t
Cedar Point. T h e y l e f t a t 8:00 a . m . Upon reaching their
destination at noon, the class immediately scattered, not to
be seen again by the chaperones until 10 p.m.
. . .
Windy weather and fair skies was the scene for graduation
of the class of 1976. Beginning at 8:00 p . m . , the graduates,
escorted by the junior honor guards, marched in to the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance." After the invocation and
Pledge o f A l l e g i a n c e , M i k e L u t z gave his President's
address, " T h e Challenge o f L i f e . " Following his address
Peter Shoun, Valedictorian, spoke on "Local School Education" and Cathy Stickney, salutatorian, o n "Patriotism t o
Yourself." Honors and diplomas were then awarded t o the
class. Mike Lutz then instructed the class to move their tassels and after, presented the cane to Dave O'Rourke, 1977
Class President. To conclude the ceremony, Chris Legrande,
Foreign Exchange Student from France, gave her farewell.
. . .
This year the class of '76 was the f c l a s s in B.H.S. history t o have their own original song. i t was " W e Are the
Future," composed by Chris Brown. T h i s , however, wasn't
their first choice; rather "Dream On" was. But after hearing
the new one, the class agreed that i t would be more appropriate.

��Coach Ford's second year as head coach of Varsity football was very successful despite t h e tough competition.
Tedd Lepper, w i t h the help of his teammates, ended the
season with a total of 853 yards. Quarterback A l Woodcox,
was seen i n action i n every game during the season. B i l l
Guzy and Tedd Lepper received A l l State Honorable Mention and the team voted awards to the following players:
Pete Rawden - best lineman; T i m Kelley - most improved
player; Tedd Lepper - Viking of the Year, best back, and
most valuable player.
This year we were lucky to have many veteran seniors
and we are sorry to see them leave. I n spite of the many
injuries, the final record was: 4 wins and 5 losses.

The Viking IV Football team showed this year that
things are looking up. Improving their record, t h e
future looks bright for this squad, and they have high
hopes for next year.
The season opened with a defeat against Coldwater
but the hard working IV came right back with a win
against North Adams. Their final record, 4 wins and
4 losses, was outstanding considering the tough competition.

The future looks promising f o r t h e hardworking
freshman football team, even though their effort to
have a winning season paid o ff for only one game
when they beat Albion 24 to 6. But their team spirit
was not destroyed.

�This y e a r, Bronson hosted and
won the I n v i t a t i o n a l tournament

Mr. Modert said, " W e had a real tough season,
because o f t h e quality o f t h e competition b u t i t
should make us very tough when we get to the Varsity
level."
In spite of the fact that the Reserve Baseball team
didn't have the best of luck this year. T h e experience and knowledge they gained from having M r.
Modert as their coach w i l l benefit them to a much
better season next year.
