Since the Class of 1951 began its high school career, thirteen of its members have left Bronson High. Lois Parsons’ and Lyle Wiser’s names have been taken from the class roll this year. To raise money for the junior-senior prorn.the juniors have sold refreshments at all home football and basketball games, had a bake goods sale, conducted a paper drive, and presented a very successful play. The class, well represented in all sports and other extra curricular activities, reigned supreme over the Viking Review when both the junior boys and girls won in their respective class tournaments. The juniors had the honor of being the first class to wear the new Viking-head crest on their class rings. The Viking head replaced the standard Bronson High School crest which has adorned the rings for 17 years. Joan Crabill David Croy
