Seniors Present Many hours of hard work were spent on this year’s Senior Play, Drums of Death.” For each and every member of the cast and crew, their sincere efforts paid off when the play was presented on Friday, November 11, 1960, Many thanks are extended to Miss Patricia Chisholm, under whose skillful and meticulous direction, the Senior Class was able to produce a very successful and enjoyable play.

By the time they realize that the telegrams that summoned them to this place were false, it Is too late for them to escape from this weird place. They struggle to solve the mystery of this place, the cabinet containing death, the hooded figure, the ghost, the monster, and back of it all, the insistent, dull, throbbing signal of the mysterious drums. All In all It made a very intriguing and enjoying play. 6 - Mrs. Oakley (Jo Keeslar) walks in her sleep. RIGHT: One of the finishing touches being administered by director. Patricia Chisholm.

Juniors Present Doctor Hudson s Secret Journal' Bontempini’s talk to Dr. Hudson about Tony's operation. Doctor Hudson’s Secret Journal was presented by the junior class on March 25, 1961. The plot which surrounded this play was Doctor Hudson's trying to persuade Mr. Warner to sell a part of land which was adjacent to the hospital. It is surprising how such a simple situation gets so involved. This play truly contained all the elements of a very good play - love, suspense, and comedy. Members of the junior class wish to extend their thanks to Miss Chisholm and to all the other people who helped to make their play the huge success that it was. - 8 - Children present flowers to their friend, Doctor Hudson.

Under this system, both teams added up the averages of their players. After both totals were found, then the team having the highest total gave 75 of the difference to the other team. This way, if a less skilled team is playing a better one, they can have a good chance of winning. Mrs. Henry Piatt devoted much time and effort in helping the girls learn how to become better bowlers.

Mr. Atkocunis Completes Final Year as Head Football Coach ikes Have Tough Luck Season The 1960 Bronson Viking squad had a stormy season this year. The record shows that they lost 7 and tied 1. Although this was not an impressive record, we should salute the team for not quitting when the going got rough. Injuries and personnel losses took quite a toll from the squad; however, the Vikes kept fighting and a marked improvement was shown by the end of the season. Assistant Coach Zabonick gives a few pointers to Walter Price.

COACH ZABONICK Vikings Provide Plenty of Thrills This year's Viking hoopsters provided their fans with plenty of thrills as they stormed their way to second place in the hectic Little C Conference. Our Vikes tripped up the high-flying Homer team to set the stage for one of the most exciting title chases seen in the history of the conference. A solid nucleus for next year's team has been built, but the departing seniors will be sorely missed. They are Stan Armstrong, Don Bidwell, Jerry George, Lynn Mayer, and Mike Poling.
