Class History The Class of 1953 entered into highschool as 'green little freshmen in September of 1948. They were properly welcomed at the Freshman Initiation by the Seniors, who were more than glad to do their part. The All-Hi parties in their first year of high school were just a sample of the good times they were yet to have together. During their sophomore and junior years they worked like little beavers on campaigns to earn money to sponsor the Prom. Also, in their junior year they presented the play 'The Inner Willy', which was very successful. Then came the big year, their senior year. The plans were made for a trip to New York City and Washington D. C. They sponsored paper drives, baked goods sales, and a penny supper to defray the expenses of their trip. They chose as their motto: “Don’t itch for success, scratch for it. That is exactly what they did. They made their presence felt on the athletic field as Bronson fielded some of the finest teams in their history. They did a fine |ob in the school room, as Betty ',etzgor walked off with the top scholastic honor, valedictorian. The salutatorian was Judy Wanar, with Jerry Hollister and Martin Crabill following as co-historians. On Friday evening, May 29, Mr. Carpenter presented the seniors with their diplomas, thereby completing a very successful four years at Bronson High School Jerry Hollister Cafeteria Our cafeterias, under the supervision of Mrs. Brower, serve appetizing, nutritious, hot lunches at a moderate cost to approximately 350 students daily.
