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.

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: S e p t e m b e r 1956 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! My dear Diary: S e p t e m b e r 1957 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! Dearest Diary: S e p t e m b e r 1958 This is our last year to write i n your pages, After May ' 5 9 , o u r history goes down w i t h the ages. We worked so hard for our biggest day, And our Senior Tr i p that took us on our way. "Buy Jupiter" was our Senior play so fine, Now we must close w i t h this line- "Enter to Learn--Depart t o Serve, " our motto sincere; May we f o l l o w i t for many a year. �We, t h e Seniors of 1959, b e i n g of sound m i n d , d o hereby w i l l and bequeath some o f our most treasured worldly possessions to those individuals they w i l l most benefit.

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."

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.

Brian Wrozek Ben Yearling Tammy Yearling The ring of the bell. The shuffle of feet through an almost soundless hallway. The whispers in the stillness, And the quiet, empty feeling that awaits us all. "How can it be?" "Why?" So many questions that we, ourselves, cannot answer. Losing a friend is such a hard thing to accept. So much wanting them back, But, instead, only memories. 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. Memories are seldom lost. . . . The Class of 1987 ��The Class of 1988 First Row: Paula Howe, Shelly A.

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.

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.

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.

Jesse moved from Arkansas last year as a freshman. While attending Bronson High School he has broken school records in Cross Country and Track. This year he placed second at the State Cross Country Meet and first in both the Mile and Two Mile events at the State Track Meet. Much of Jesse's drive and ambition to win, stems from his hope of winning an athletic scholarship so that he may attend college after his senior year. He contributes his running success to some natural ability but the most important factor is prayer. Jesse says that he doesn't practice any more than his teammates but when watching him it is obvious he puts everything he has into each practice.

FffrIl Remember all of your friends, And the fun we must now leave behind, As each of us begin the rest of our lives, Not knowing what we'll find. Remember not mistakes we've made, But what each of us has learned, As we say good-bye for good Walking away with what we've earned. 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." With deepest gratitude, Vera Hurd, Advisor 160 Memories ����_ • 4', •• - T • • : � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"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.

I t was a time of laughter when the gifts were given to students and faculty; it was also a time of compassion when an anonymous gift o f a three-wheel Schwinn was given to Arizona Schaeffer. The hearts of all were touched. The audience responded enthusiastically as the cheerleaders poked fun at the Varsity Basketball Team with their skit, "Cheerleaders' Revenge." The performances o f the band and aCappella choir were also well received. 1. Mr. Zabonick received a chain to keep him on the bench at basketball games. 2. Mr. Bobalik of the "Bruise Brothers- struts his stuff. 3. Arizona Schaeffer tries out his new Schwinn. 4. The faculty wished the students a Merry Christmas. 5.

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. We wish him the best of success in his semi-retirement. 90 Te n n i s ' Tennis Opponents SO Ils Coldwater Pennfield Second place M Sprin 3 7 7 ment 0 4 4 0 Sturgis Sixth place at Regional'Tournament Columbia Central 0 5 7 3 3 5 7 �CONCERT CHOIR The B r o n s o n C o n c e r t Choir h a d a n outstanding year.

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. So Graduation can't really be called "the end" rather a time to tuck away memories and wish the best to friends. — Marcy Weaver "Is everyone watching us Kris?"

Often times the seemingly endless hours of preparation and frustration are not noticed. I recognize those times and want you t o know that you are greatly appreciated. Without your individual contributions, the publication of the book would not have been possible. I would especially like to thank Mrs. Vera Hurd for her time, leadership, knowledge, and un-ending support. Her display of care and understanding for t h e yearbook a s w e l l a s t h e school h a s been a n admirable characteristic for years.

May all of you find a future full of success and happiness. Michelle Perkins Yearbook Editor a) s0 4s4C.) 0 R3 Yearbooks are a composite from a variety of sources. 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.
