SENIOR COMMENTARIESU We are leaving Bronson High School With a rep that's hard to beat, We go out into the world of life To test our strengtlband hardships meet. Throughout these many years of labor, And these many months of toil and Work We have tried to do our duty And our lessons never shirk. We most greatly have enjoyed The times afforded here, And throughout our lives we shall remember, And forever hold them dear. We've been treated very kindly By our teachers and our friends, And if We haven't filled their measures We hope to make amends. Four years ago we set a goal, And now We set another, That first, We have attained, And this We'll likewise sunder. Although we say it with much sorrow, To Bronson High We bid adieu, And go out into the World of life, To seek the future bright and true.
