This 1977 issue of theBrecksonian was a breakthrough in yearbook history at Breckenridge High School. For the first time patrons were allowed to lend financial support to the yearbook which enabled the journalism department to add 32 pages of color and a self-designed cover to the yearbook, plus purchase a new headliner machine and additional darkroom and camera equipment. Blue Patrons ($10 donation) are listed on page 156; Gold Patrons ($25 donation) are recognized on the colored page of their choice. We hope your patronage will be returned with continued goodwill and support from B. H. S. students. The staff would also like to thank those who gave special assistance in the production of this book: Eric Gruesbeck of Inter-Collegiate Press; Don Goostry and Dick's Studio; and the administration and faculty of B. H. S. The Journalism Production Class was responsible for complete paste- up and preparation of the pages for the printer. In addition,the typing, film developing, and photographic printing (with the exception of senior and underclass portraits) were done by journalism students. 152
