Sr. High School Principal Central Michigan College of Education Michigan State Normal College University of Kansas Adv. Mathematics Some years ago, George Moore, an Irish writer, wrote a book Hail and Farewell the title of which reminds me that life sometimes seems to be made up of greeting people and saying goodbye. Why, it seems but yesterday that we greeted at North Branch High School the 1955 graduating class. We shall have scarcely said goodbye to them when we shall have to turn to greet next year's Freshman. Time has wings, looking back on it. Looking forward to it, Time has leaden feet. When we are young, Time is long. When we are old, Time is short. At this time I wish the graduating class of 1955 every possible happiness and success, which are, at least to some extent, a matter of knowing how to treat Time well— one of the secrets of happy and useful living.

We all looked forward to the day of Initation and the big day finally arrived. We were taken down to the Gym and sold as slaves to some lucky Sophomores. The next day we were slaves to our master, wearing Green Freshmen signs and carrying the books of our master. That evening the Sophomores gave us a party and we were glad when it was over and we were no longer Green Freshmen. When the time for the School Fair rolled around, we as a class took part and added some much needed funds to our class. This year we sold Birthday Calendars to start our money campaign toward our Senior Trip in the big year of 1955. Our class officers for the year were Marion Gural, President, Mary Jo Wilson, Treasurer, Dick Griffin, Vice President and Ward Thompson, Secretary. Our Sponsors were Mr. George Grant and Mr Edward Krepps. We started the year with 73 classmates and ended the year with 69. During the year we gained Sue Jacot, Bill Beckman, Catherine Skalecki, Ernest Skalecki, James Sutphen, Patricia Wieland and lost James Supthen, Bill Beckman, John Linck, Catherine Skalecki, Ernest Skalecki, Shelbie Pakke, Lester Peters, Jeanette George and Rita Nolan. Spring came and school closed and we all were planning to be Sophomores next fall and on the other end of the Initiation. sophomoRe class histoRy When school opened in the fall of '52, there were 67 Sophomores that entered the doors of North Branch High School. During the year the following left our class; Viola Chambel, Florence Richard, Lucille Schank, and Patricia Wieland. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Gerald K. Sielski and Mr. Edward C. Krepps. The class officers were President Dick Griffin, Vice-President Marion Gural, Secretary Barbara Tatar, and Treasurer Philip Olekszyk. We sponsored the Freshman Initiation, in which we bought the Freshman. They had to follow our orders for one day and evening. For the school fair, we sold pop and hot dogs which brought us some much-needed money. We also sponsored a Talent Show, to show the public the talent of this and other schools. The school year came to an end but we were looking toward next year when we would be MIGHTY JunioR class histoRy School began on the thirty-first day of Aug. 1953. This was a year that made us all a little smarter and a little happier. We started the year with 62 students and ended it with 60. Our class officers were Phil Olekszyk, Norman Adams, Rita Carter, and Thelma Weigel. Our sponsors were Mrs. Hocking and Mr. Legree. On Oct. 27 the ring man arrived, and on March 26 the rings arrived, which made us very happy. On April 2 the Jr. play was put on, and it was very successful. On the 14th of April we put the Prom on for the Seniors and we all had a very nice time. Our football team had a very successful year winning seven and tying one. Basketball was better than average, and the baseball team won all of its games and was unscored on. semoR class histoRy School opened on August 31, we were very proud to be coming back, because now we were the Seniors of 1955. We started out the year with a total of 60 students, but ended up with a loss of one student, Helen Burnett. The sponsors of our senior year were Mr. and Mrs. Asbury, who did an excellent job in handling the class activities. Our class officers were Barbara Tatar, President, Virgil Horton, Vice President, Mary Jo Wilson, Secretary and Mary Ellen Kennedy, Treasurer. The long awaited day arrived our pictures were to be taken the 14th and 15th of September. On October 5, the school fair was held at the high school. The seniors had the square dance and we sold cider and donuts, everyone had a lot of fun. December 3rd was the day for the Senior play, it was called Our Town. On January 18, 19 and 20, we presented the movie Julius Caesar at the North Branch Strand Theatre. January 27, was a big day for the Senior girls, because the boys had to give us a party, we outsold them in magazines. It was to be an ice skating party. Everyone had a jolly time. In March the Seniors sponsored a chicken dinner at the American Legion Hall, the food was to be donated by the Senior Class, to make money for their trip. April 15th marked the day for the Mardi Gras. A king and queen were to be chosen for the dance. The Junior-Senior prom was held on May 13th; it was put on by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. This was to be our last formal dance at N.B.H. S. May 17th marked the day of the Senior trip. Arriving in Detroit, we boarded the SS North American, our destination being Mackinaw Island. While aboard the ship we enjoyed a Variety Show, various deck activities, and dancing, as we cruised past many river sights that lined the banks and the shore. While on Mackinaw Island we saw many points of interest, such as Skull Cave, Old Fort Mackinaw, and Old Arch Rock. After leaving the Island, we arrived in Chicago where we spent the afternoon sightseeing and the night in the Sherman Hotel. Tired and happy we started for home ward bound. After four years of waiting, graduation week arrived with Baccalaureate Sunday, May 29, and Class night May 31. Finally the long awaited evening has arrived, the night of June 2 that the Seniors of N.B.H.S. receive their diplomas with this beloved motto in mind We've crossed the bay in safety, now the ocean lies before us.

FOX Elementary Principal, Third Grade B. S. Michigan State Normal College faculty When you come to think of it, there is no satisfaction in the world to equal that of helping some man, woman, or child. Ellen E. Morrison adequately expresses this satis- faction in her poem: AT THE END OF THE DAY. If you have by a cheery word Brightened some sad heart, Then you can feel as the sun goes down That you have done your part. If you have to some degree Made a burden light, Then you can think as night draws nigh Your day has been all right. If you have given someone hope Or helped someone to smile, You can believe as twilight falls Your day has been worth-while. Have you lighted a spark of courage In some discouraged breast? Then be content at the end of the day For you have earned your rest. MRS. FOX MISS MARGARET L. BANKS Sixth Grade Western Michigan College of Education MRS.

Activities Activities at North Branch High School I think that the activities at the school speak for themselves most of the time but for some of the groups not too much is said so at this time we would like to tell you of some of their activities. The Math Club which is sponsored by Mr. Stickle and is made up of any 10th, 11th or 12th Grader who has taken Math. This club meets once a month and at this time solves the Math problems that are brought in by the students and teachers. The club has sponsored many activities to get some of the little or big things that our school needs. They with the help of the other classes and clubs put in the Public Address System so that announcements may be made to all students at the same time. The club has also sponsored other projects at the school. The F. F. A. or Ag. Club is another club of which we hear little but also has some activities at the school. This club in cooperation with the Home Ec. Club sponsores the Annual School Fair which all classes and clubs in the School take part. With the money taken in from this and other activities the F. F. A. has purchased new lights for the Ag. Room and has paid for Field Trips and for the boys to go to the Annual F. F. A. meetings both in the State and the National Meetings. The Club is sponsored by the Ag. Teachers Mr. Pesek and Mr. Marshall. The Home Ec. Club is made up of the students that are taking Home Ec. each year. Their sponsor is the Homemaking teacher Mrs. Viele. This club helps sponsor the Annual School Fair and also puts on din- ners and parties for other organizations and clubs to make money for their department. The girls have purchased a great many things for their department and in this way feel that their department is their own and certainly appreciate what it means to have nice things in the department. The girls would like to thank at this time all the people who helped with donated work and materials those people who helped with the new addition to the Home Ec Room and the School Board for their support of the project. We realize that we still have a long way to go to complete the room but certainly appreciate what we have. With the money earned this year we were able to complete our bathroom and to purchase other little things of necessity for the room. Annual staff 1st Row L. to R.

Annual Staff The Annual Staff is made up of Seniors who like to work on the News of the School for the year. This year the Co-editors of the Bronconian are Dorald Giddings and Barbara Tatar. The work of the Annual was divided between the students and each and every one had a part to do for the book. At the first of the year the students didn't see all the work that has to be done but now that the Annual is nearly completed they have discovered that a great deal of time and patience go in to the working of the book. I wish at this time to Thank all the students who helped with the Annual this year so that it could be completed by the end of the First Semester and all the teachers and students not on the Staff who helped with the work.
