Although we had fourteen veterans back, a few key men missed some or all of the ball games because of injuries or other reasons. The Vikings showed good quality but not too much size. All of the games were fought hard, though, and the coaches should be given a lot of credit for working hard with the team. Richard Rubley RUBLEY BOGUCKI FENNEL GREGG KERN - MARTIN D.

The Junior Vikings began a fine season with their spirits high. The team suffered a loss at the beginning but came back fighting. They showed an excellent record for the season and teamwork was displayed by them throughout their various games. Our future Varsity, coached by Charles Atkocunis, shown at the right with their manager, John Haynes, demonstrated great playing ability. A lot of credit should be given to the coach and manager for handling the future Varsity so well. Larry Sielken Student (?6UHcil First row, left to right: Bill Martin.

The 1956-57 Student Council is now in its twenty-first year serving the students of Bronson High School. The Council meets each Monday to discuss problems of the students, All-Hi parties, the noon-hour recreation program, and other activities. This year the Student Council proved to be very helpful to the Student Body. Carolyn Kibiloski The Inter-Council is a newly organized group, made up of the Little-C Schools. Each school has four delegates. There are two delegates elected at the end of each year from the Sophomore class, so that there will be experienced workers in office at all times.
