There's something about the classroom or a school activity that evokes in students a remarkable variety of facial expressions, each with its own charm and beauty. Teachers learn to love the faces, reflecting so candidly exactly what goes on in each mind at a given moment. People, Places, Classes, Activities . . . The main element in this book is the people at N.B.H.S. This is their story of their friends and teachers, and the excit- ing, happy, and disappointing moments they shared together through the year. 447 students . . . 5 DEDICATION TO PARENTS to those whom we love We dedicate our lives. We dedicate our whole selves, not that part which we can give most freely. We express gratefulness for the tender care during our young lives. We remember the useless moments of indecision solved by parental love. We give thankfulness for the security of a home to which we return. We dedicate unselfish guidance to the ultimate goal of successful- achievement and happiness. We dedicate our waste of those things which our loved ones have spent years to achieve for us. We dedicate these failures because we remember them and in years to come we will try to do better. It is our parents who loved, us, helped, punished, and struggled for us that we dedicate these things. We tie our failures with a word. We tie our fail- ures with knowledge. We can only say that now we know, then we didn't. To our parents we dedicate each page of learning here at school. the inquiring faces The ability to learn knowledge in classrooms is a rewarding experience. To gain knowledge is valu- able to every student who has high expectations for a successful vocation in his future life. Everyday a person is confronted with something new to learn. Through class participation and understanding be- tween the teacher and the student, a new world is discovered. The student who gains the knowledge that is made available to him has a rewarding back- ground to take with him into life. ... Education in the spirit of life must recognize and use the great active forces that control living . . . Life is progressive. Education must discard the outgrown categories of thought of a by-gone age, and acquire a scientific attitude in order to under- stand and carry forward the amazing discoveries of our age . . . Life is dynamic. Education must be vital, alive, active . . . Life is practical. Education must be usable . . . Life is recreative. We must train for leisure . . . Life is friendly. Education is not a cold austere duty, but a journey down a friendly road . . . Life is co-operative. Education has a twofold duty to the community. It must re- flect the will of the people, and at the same time strive to raise the standards of life of the community . . . Life is idealistic; education must aim high. --Frank Cody SEEING THE INVISIBLE Jane McLaughlin takes her turn at observing cells from her own body during a Study of Cells in Biology, a required class for all Sophomores, under the guidance of Mr. William Potter, Biology Instructor, while Sue Schank sketches die cells from her cheek.

Mr. Bedell explains to his Algebra II Class how to cube a quantity involving negative exponents. At North Branch High School science is a continually broadening field of study. If offers five classes of Biology, taught by Mr. William Potter, Chairman of the Science and Math department. Mr. Potter has taught at NBHS for five years. The study of Biology is an exciting adventure for students. All are interested primarily in themselves and in everything related to themselves. They want to know how their bodies work, how bacteria and infectious diseases affect them. They are interested in their behavior and how they change as they mature. Three classes of Chemistry and one class of Physics are taught by Mr. Leon Verderese, in his first year here. Mr. Potter, Mr. Verderese, Mr. James Cowan and Mr. Len Schuneman each teach a class of General Science. These classes are taught to give students a general understanding of the natural phenomena in the world in which they live. It is also to prepare the Science student with the necessary background needed for continued succes in Science at the college level. Mr. Schuneman has taught in they system for three years. Algebra is one of the first steps to a good understanding of more advanced mathematics and sciences. Algebra is of value not only to those who will be studying more advanced math and science but to everyone who takes it because it heps develop logical, systematic thinking. Teaching Algebra I and II is Mr. Den Bedell, who has been with us two years. Mr. John Schneider, new this year to NBHS, teaches three classes of Geometry and one class of Trignomety. Geometry offers experience in logical thinking and reasoning. In the first semester of Trig, students cover basic concepts needed for higher math. Mr. Schneider is the advisor to the Math Club, where students share knowledge of various areas, such as new math ideas and relativity. Exploring Tomorrow’s World and Challenging the Minds . . .

Practicing for Future Careers . . . 14 Journalism, Home Economics and Business Included Home Economics classes this year were emphasizing many areas that would be of value to the girls now as well as in the future as mothers and homemakers. When our mother took Homemaking she studied mostly 'cooking and sewing' but with the changing world the woman has more areas of responsibility. She must be a critical shopper as well as an expert in decorating her home, sewing, cooking nourishing meals, caring for her children's needs, managing her home and time plus participat- ing in community activities. Second semester the Future Homemakers of America club members, under the direction of Miss Beverly Ferris, Home Economics instructor, initiated Operation Breakfast where students could purchase breakfast before school started. Miss Ferris has taught three semesters at NBHS and in September she will travel to India to participate in the International Farm Youth Exchange for six months.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Commerce department has an enrollment of 429 students in its classes. The department started the year with Mrs. Cathryn Bugg and Mr. Thomas Hain teaching classes in Typewriting, Bus- iness English, General Business, Bookkeeping and Office Practice. We also include in this department a class in Journalism, which publishes the Bronco Express, the school newspaper. Mrs. Bugg is advisor to the Bronco Express and has taught at NBHS for twelve years. Mr. Hain has been with us for three years. At the beginning of the second semester with the addition of Miss Susan Showers to the department faculty, the department reinstated two classes of Shorthand, Beginning and Advanced, into its schedule of classes. Teachers had to do without their student secretaries as these students took Shorthand. Always with arms full of papers and a cheery smile is Mrs. Cathryn Bugg, Chair- man of the Commerce Department. Mrs. Bugg instructs Business English, Office Practice, Refresher Math and Guidance. 15 Mr. Sutton rehearses Marching Band. Finding a Means The Music classes have had many award winners: 35 medal winners at Solo Ensemble plus district and state honors. A double honor came to this department with the selection of Connie Clendenan and Colette Worgess to the All Student Band--U.S.A. This band will travel throughout Europe giving concerts this summer. On the left is Susie Graham, last year's winner to the All Student Band--U.S.A. pointing out the area where she went last year to Connie and Colette. of Self-Expression . . . DEPARTMENT OF K FINE ARTS Claire June expresses his many artistic talents in one of his oil paintings. In the Fine Arts Department, students have an opportunity for self-expression. In the visual arts section, they have experiences with many different media--clay, sculpturing, charcoal, water- color, crayon, paint, pencil, poster, oil, cloth, paper, wood, three- dimensional work, crafts--all are offered in the art classes. Com- munity groups, classes and organizations all call upon the talents of the art classes to make signs, posters, programs, and decoration. Guiding these many activities is Miss Joy-Marie Johnson, Art Instructor, who has taught at NBHS for three years. She is also advisor to the 1967 Bronconian and the Future Nurses. For those students who are musically inclined, there is also a wide selection of opportunities. Under the direction of Mr. Gary Sutton, Music Director and Chairman of the Fine Arts Department, the Band performs for assemblies, festivals, special programs, foot- ball shows, and other activities in and around North Branch. The band also presents Christmas and Spring Concerts. A special activ- ity of the Band this spring is traveling to London, Ontario and Niagara Falls to perform. Mr. Sutton has directed music at NBHS for 10 years. The chorus class will also sing for a concert and special programs Mr. Roger Richards, Assistant Music Director, is the instructor for the Chorus class. He joined the faculty second semester. He is in the process of expanding the choral program by developing strong elementary and jr. high choruses. This will help provide a more outstanding senior high choral program for the future.

Don Ball and A1 Haack do their drafting assignments Training for Future Vocations . .. Our Industrial Arts Program is an exploratory education experience. The students work in different areas in order to determine which field of work they would like to special- ize. During the first year the General Shop course covers such areas as General Sketching, Basic Drafting, Woods, Metals, Electricity, and individual interests study. The second year consists of the study of Advanced Woods, Cabinet Making, Carpentry, Metals II, Sheet Metals, and Welding. The third year consists of specialized areas of in- dividual interests. An Industrial Arts course in Drafting is available the 10th, 11th, 12th, graders--this includes in- struction in Sketching, Pictorial Drawings, Orthographic Projection, Dimensioning, Perspectives, Development, Revolutions, and Threads. Mr. Donald Gleason is in charge of the Industrial Arts Department. Under his tute- lage, die program has grown during the past 2 1 2 years. Next year a course will also be offered in Machine Draft- ing. Mr. Gleason also teaches Driver Education. He has taught at N.B.H.S. for 2 1 2 years. Mr. Robert Curry makes plans for the F.F.A. project of selling the 300 Slow Moving Vehicle signs seen on his desk. DEPT. OF VOCATIONAL INSTRUCTION The Vocational Agriculture program is under the supervision of Mr. Robert Curry who joined our staff in December, 1966. Agriculture I covers areas of Basic Soils, Conservation Practices, Principles of Plant Growth, Livestock and Livestock Judging, Fertilizer, Small Grains, and Crop Diseases. Agriculture II is the study of crops and crop production. Farm Shop offers areas of instruction in Farm Carpentry, Welding, Electricity, Plumbing, Concrete, Gas Engines--Repair and Maintenance. Advanced Agriculture is the study of Farm Man- agement. Mr. Curry and students are engaged in farming practices on students farms. Students, parents, and school work hand in hand in developing sound farming projects. Mr. Curry is at the present time in the process of reorganizing the North Branch Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The rebirth of this is being heard each day through their various projects and it is ex- pected to be more prominent and active in the future. Our Co-operative Education Program--Co-op, as we call it--is a work-experience program in which our students attend school half the day and work in local business or industry the other half. Areas covered in this program are: Distributive education, Trade and Industry, and Office Practice. At the present time, we have 30 students enrolled. This is an ever expanding program limited to the availability of job situations in our local areas. This program is under the direction of Mr. Edward Krepps, chairman of this department. Mr. Krepps has taught at N.B.H.S. for 20 years and served as Guidance Counselor. as A1 Peet and Ron Hutchinson observe.

Exploring Life Through DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE—ENGLISH Left: Kathy Lake debates the American Revolution with Mr. Hunter. Right: Juniors copy informa- tion from the blackboard in 4th Hour American History. This year the freshmen found they were preparing for their future classes in English by writing term papers and one-act plays. Miss Carol Anderson, who has been with us for two years, and Mr. David Murphy, new to us second semester, teach English IX. The sophomores read THE KING AND I and JULIUS CAESAR as preparation for future literature classes. Mr. James Cowan and Mr. Robert Perrigo, both new to NBHS this year, teach sophomore English classes. Research and writing themes and term papers kept the juniors busy. Mr. Robert Solomon, new this year, teaches junior English. The seniors found that in some classes they were de- fending their ideas before the class. Many were kept busy writing themes each week and reading DAVID COPPERFIELD, OLIVER TWIST, and LORD OF THE FLIES. Still another group wrote autobiographies and letters of application. Mr. Cowan is observed lecturing in Speech Class. 20 Miss Anderson hands back one of the many themes students must write in English. Mr. John Hunter, American History instructor, lectures on public education in the 1800's. Students in World History class studied the past European and Asian wars. In American History classes the juniors found that all events centered around a major theme and a recurring theme. For instance, the industrial change after the Civil War led to the present constant effort of industry to get control of the economy. World History students studied under two new teachers this year with Mr. Brian Veenhuis, the first semester, and Mr. Murphy, the second semester. Mr. John Hunter, our American History and Geog- raphy instructor, has taught at NBHS ten years. Hable Vd. en espanol, por favor. These are the words you are likely to hear when passing Mrs. Nancy Butterfield's room. If you pause, you will find her drilling her Spanish classes, or perhaps the students will be sitting at the booths listening to the tapes and re- peating what they hear. During other hours of the day, you will find Latin students there, diligently translating a passage from Caesar. Mrs. Butterfield is Chairman of the Social Science and English department.

Right: Some Spanish I stu- dents practice in the booths while others do their textbook assignments. 21 Library Always Has Interesting Displays Anyone entering Room 104 might have heard oral interpretations being given by the Speech students. In another class one would realize that one-act plays were being written. Mr. Cowan teaches these classes. The Seniors in Government discussed such up-to- date topics as the budget, civil rights, Communism, and the Viet Nam situation. Teachers, textbooks, news- papers, and magazines help students to understand the people of the world. Mr. Bush has led the Seniors in Government and Economics for four years. This year many new books and an excellent art col- lection came into our library through federal assistance and donations from the Class of 1966. Our Librarian, Mrs. Fitch, had student helpers assisting her with checking books on the shelves. In the Library Book Room is Our Audio-Visual Center with Mr. Hunter as Director. 22 the sportsmanship faces of . . .

RUNNER-UP TO CONFERENCE TITLE Coaches look on as they send a Bronco through the paces in a practice session. The Bronco team underwent some pretty rough practice sessions that seemed to make the coaches very happy as some Broncos were quoted as saying. The sessions lasted two or more hours although they were sup- posed to be hour and half sessions. The team never gripped a bit about the extra long sessions but didn't especially go for the extra work. 24 AS RIVALS TAKE TOP HONORS The Broncos had a tough nine game schedule, four of which were conference games. The Bronco team was best known for its tough defense and its passing offense. The Broncos had a losing season by final scores, but led the South Central Conference with All-Conference selections and Honorable Mentions. This alone tells the true story of this football team. They seemed to win when it really counted. The Broncos ended up the season with a 3 win--6 loss record playing four home games. This was a very profitable season in that the three victories came in Conference games. This gave them the runners-up title in the South Central League. The only game lost was to their rivals at Imlay City. The season started off losing three games with two of these being lost by one point. The next four games saw the Broncos fighting back winning three out of the four of which all were conference games. The last two games were played just as winter hit. Which led the Broncos to two more loses. The leading scorer was Doug Lauwers. The leading ground gainers were Doug Lauwers and Joe Scrimger. The Broncos passing attack led by quarterback Tom Snoblen made them as unpredictable team. When the op- position thought they had the Broncos in a hole Doug Monroe or Dale Rhode would have hall in a pass to given them some badly needed yardage. The defense was led and often sparked on to help win the games by Dave King who seemed to stop almost any man coming up his hole. All in all it was a very good season. The Bronco team was led by Co-Captains Dale Rhode and Dave King. The Broncos were coached by Len Scheumaman and Don Gleason. 25 TERRY FITCH All-Conf. Center Senior DOUG LAUWERS All-Conf.

Imlay City had three on the starting team, Deckerville had four, and Harbor Beach and Millington each had one. Those on the first team from North Branch were center, Terry Fitch, end Doug Monroe, quarterback, Tom Snoblen, halfback, Doug Lauwers, and tackle, Jim Robinet.

MANY AWARDS AND HONORS The Varsity Co-Captains led the Broncos through a rough season and no one felt worse about losing than these two, but they were the last to gripe about any officials or penalties. These two players were a great credit to the team. Joe was another who fought right down to the final gun even if we were so far behind that there was no hope. He truly was the Most Valuable Player on the team. Varsity Coach, Len Schuneman presents Joe Scrimger Rick Harris, Captain of the J.V.

AND FRESHMEN HAVE GOOD SEASON The J.V.'s practiced hard even though they saw the season turning for the worse. They even practiced in a hail storm one day when the Varsity team ran for cover. This didn't do them any good because they had a 3-win 5 loss record at the end of the season. All in all they will be a very valuable asset to the Varsity team. The Freshmen had a 3-game schedule losing all three. They had a very wide range of size and weight (90-185 lbs.). The real thing that hurt the team was that their quarterback couldn't see over the line most of the time because he was only 4 ft. 11 in. The team had the will to win and will show a much better effort as J.V.'s. FRESHMEN--FIRST ROW: Bob Curell, Randy Moore, Jim Herron, Cliff Clendenan, Stanley Rogers, and Charles Snoblen. SECOND ROW: Bill Caldwell, Charles Cichoracki, Clayton Bell, Ken Snoblen, Tim Straight, Ed Fischer, Larry Peplinski, Manager, and Coach Hain.

Donna Hebberd, 1965 Homecoming Queen, related what being queen meant to her. After which the can- didates for queen, Sara Hallock, Cheryl Patrick, and Suzanne Orr each told why they would like to represent HOMECOMING the North Branch student body as their queen. To the amusement of the student body, each girl was asked a humorous impromptu question. Ballots were then cast by the students and then counted by the Student Council. Highlights of the Pep Rally led by Varsity Cheer- leader, Kathy Bodmer were: the Varsity Football Squad acting out a cheer, Larry Hallock helping the cheer- leaders out, Coach Don Gleeson and Louise Sari each giving a pep talk and the cheerleaders in gay pajamas acting out The Night Before Homecoming, written by Mrs. Asa Costello. There was a noisy moment as the Sophomores were announced as having won the Victory Jug for cheering the loudest. Leading the Parade which followed immediately was Kathy Lake on her Bronco-Blanketed (made by Miss Joy Johnson) horse, Dutchess, our new school mascot. Our Bronco Marching Band, led by Candy Younger and Marsha Caldwell, our majorettes, sounded out the ex- citement of the floats to follow. 3rd PLACE--SENIORS— LEADING THE WAY Amid loud cheers and tears, the Freshmen float was announced first place winner in the Homecoming floats. Bug 'Em was the theme and the float was a huge brown bug under a brown-spotted covering and made mobile by fifteen freshmen dancing intricate steps under the cov- ering. It had huge feelers waving in the air. The second place float was the Sophomore produc- tion. Sophomores spent many hours in Casper Moore's garage making paper flowers to decorate their manure spreader. To carry out their theme of spread the Eagles several stuffed eagles were drawn behind the spreader. ASSEMBLY AND PARADE The Senior class float took third place honors with a circus-type atmosphere of elephants, clowns, balloons, and a caged eagle. Leading the Way was their theme. A large elephant, sixteen feet tall with a Bronco flag in its trunk, was followed by two smaller elephants and that was followed by the caged Deckerville eagle. The Sen- iors had a little trouble though, when their elephant de- cided to lie down and they could not get him to get up just as the parade was about to start. But Seniors who were disappointed by this turn of events felt the many hours of work and fun at the Sam Heron's farm was well worth the disasterous experience. The fourth place float was presented by the Junior Class. It was a big white hat with the theme-- Go With the Good Guys . The Juniors built their float in the McLaughlin bam with their sponsors' guidance. The FHA had a float at the start of the parade but it was reluctantly pulled out of competition when the going got too rough for the eagle in their frying pan. Their theme was named appropriately-- Fry 'Em . For their efforts, however, they received an honorable mention award. 4th PLACE--JUNIORS-- GO WITH THE GOOD GUYS HONORABLE MENTION--FHA-- FRY 'EM CHERYL, MR. PATRICK AND DAVID MITCHELL J.V.

The Drum section of the band displayed their talents in their rendition of Wipeout. Next in shiny convertibles came the class repre- sentatives and queen candidates. Connie Hebberd represented the Freshmen Class, Donna Poplinski the Sophomore Class, and Collette Worgess the Junior Class. Junior boys served as Honor Ushers. The Queen candidates, the queen's court, and Deckerville's Queen were all escorted out to the field by their fathers. The Homecoming Activities were climaxed by Miss Cheryl Patrick being crowned the 1966 Home- coming Queen by last year's Queen, Donna Hebberd. The royal robe was placed around Cheryl's shoulders by Maths Westlund, our foreign exchange student. A happy Cheryl was congratulated as the co-captains of the team, Dale Rhode and Dave King, each placed a kiss upon Cheryl's cheeks and presented her with a sheaf of red roses. Cheryl and her court were escorted back to their cars. Cheryl was taken back around the field so all could get another glimpse of the new Homecoming Queen. The Varsity Club sponsored the Homecoming Dance after the game. Mr. Sutton's Dance Band was the featured music. 32 FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, 1966 8:00 p.m. North Branch Broncos versus Deckerville Eagles WE—25 THEY-21 Cheryl Patrick Crowned 1966 Homecoming Queen Freshmen Float— Bug ’Em —Wins First Place Victory Jug Goes to Sophomore Class DONNA CROWNS A HAPPY CHERYL TEARS OF JOY CO-CAPT'S PLEASANT DUTY HURRAH, WE'VE WON!

Nine team and individual records were rewritten. The first perfect conference championship since 1955 was won. The first Class C District championship in 25 years was claimed. The first Regional win ever in the history of North Branch was achieved and the Bronco's advanced to the finals of the Regional before being eliminated by the Class C State Champions, Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart. Three ball players were chosen on the 1st team All Conference squad. Two players were named to the Class C All Area team. Two players were named on the Detroit Free Press All State Hon- orable Mention squad, and Francis Baldwin was named 1st team All State by the Associated Press. Success was not on the shoulders of one player. Team balance and exceptional team- work was necessary for their 89 point per game average. There was immense pride among the team members. They were unselfish and quick to sacrifice, realizing the role of a champion is attained through extra effort and long hours. The team's sportsmanship was outstanding. They were humble in victory and demonstrated great humility in defeat, a true mark of a champion. Words would be feeble to explain the im- mense pride I have been fortunate to share as a part of this championship team.

We beat them 105 to 97. Regular scoreboards just aren't made for NB's high scores. Season’s Highlights With six lettermen returning, the Broncos started off the season by setting a new school record by beating Birch Run, (new to our league) by the score of 103-68. Breaking the record again, the Broncos romped over Harbor Beach, 104-58. Against Millington, the fans saw the team slipping as they won only by the score of 100-52. Class B Marlette came visiting and although they managed to stop the Broncos from scoring 100 again, they still lost by the score of 85-74. For the first time in a few years, our Broncos entered the Christmas Tournaments at St. Clair. After drawing a bye, we met Marlette again. The outcome was the same as be- fore, North Branch, 77, and Marlette 67. Dave Costello hit a personal high of 40 points against the Raiders. We then moved into the championship game against a tough Class B team, Marine City. Poor shooting proved to be our downfall as we took the Runner's-up trophy, after being beaten by the score of 83-64. We moved back into our conference with a win over Deckerville, 85-57. On Friday, the 13th, our team went calling on Imlay City, who at the time was tied with us for first place. As seen in the past, the many North Branch fans, who gave our team great support through the year, came in and took over the Imlay City Gym. After trailing at the end of the first quarter, our boys poured it on and went on to romp over the Spartans, 79-66, taking sole possession of first place. We stepped out of league play again as we beat Cass City, 77-56. Because of the deep snow storms, our schedule was rearranged as we were forced to play two games in two nights. The first game saw us take a thirty point half-time lead to beat the Millington Cardinals by the score of 92-45. The following night the Broncos hit the road again to play Birch Run. The Broncos topped the century mark for the fourth time as they posted a 103-72 victory. Next we traveled to Bad Axe and returned with a 83-55 victory. A very determined bunch of Broncos now journeyed to Deckerville, as North Branch has never won a Varstiy game on their floor. After a slow start we went on to stop the Eagles, 83-57. Last place Harbor Beach had nothing to lose as they started off the game with a deliberate offense. The Broncos never touched the ball until half way thru the first quarter. The score at the end of that quarter was North Branch 12, and Harbor Beach 3. That's about the way the whole game went as everybody scored in our 97-32. The game of the year was coming up as North Branch (9 wins and 0 losses) met with Imaly City (8 wins and 1 loss) on North Branch's floor. At 6:30 the stands were starting to fill. At 7:00, when the J.V. game started, the stands were packed, and at 7:20, the doors of the school were locked as there was a full house. The stands were filled, people were standing up all over the gym, and the kids were forced to sit on the floor, all around the court. From the start of the game, when the jump ball play worked and we scored the first two points, we were never behind. As we continued to romp, Norm Edwards hit a personal high of 35, as we stomped over our rivals, Imlay City, 93-70. This was the first time in ten years that North Branch has been undefeated in Conference play. After shaking the Spartan's hands, Coach Lamiman was lifted by the team to cut down the Victory Net, and then was taken for a Cold Victory Shower, fully clothed. Even with the Conference trophy won, the Broncos didn't slack off against Cass City. With the small gym providing no running room about all we could do was shoot, and that's just what we did as we posted a 105-97 victory in the final regular 41 � IIff season game. Francis Baldwin hit his personal high but missed the school record by 1 point, as he scored 48 points. The Class C District Tournaments were held at the new Marlette High School Gym. The first game saw us play the Yale Bulldogs. The Broncos had trouble getting together, but still managed to stop them by the score of 79-53. Two days later we were back to meet Brown City, who beat Mary ville in their first game. Again we saw the deliberate of- fense put into action against us, and with 5:53 left in the first period, Norm Edwards made the first point of the game. Again fine balance led the Broncos to an easy 95-54 victory. This was the first time in 25 years that North Branch has won the District Trophy. This then gave the boys the right to play in the Regionals held at Bay City Central. GO BRONCOS MANY THANKS! The team and Coach Lamiman would like to thank Miss Johnson and her Art Classes for pro- viding extra school spirit with all the gaily decorated signs, posters, hoops and banners that were on display throughout the school and at each game. The Broncos were again fortunate as they drew a bye, while four other teams met. Two days later our boys met with Sebewaing. After posting a ten point half time lead the Indians were able to close the gap to two points, before Dave Costello iced the game, by making two frec-throws with 12 seconds to go. This was the first Regional win in the history of the school. The next night we met the Number 2 Rated team in the state, Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart. The game started off fast and the score at the end of the first quarter was M.P.S.H. 24 and North Branch 18. Again in the second quarter we were out scored as we trailed by the score of 42-35 at half time. We came to within five points in the last half before finally bowing out by the score of 88-68. It is said that if you're going to be beat, be beat by the best, and this is exactly what the Broncos did, as M.P.S.H. went on to take the Class C State Trophy. The North Branch Broncos ended up with a season record of 18 wins and 2 losses. This is the best record ever held by a N.B. team. The team also held a 94 point per game average in conference play, and a 89 point per game average in season play. We broke the school record three times be- fore finally setting it at 105 against Cass City. Our school has a great team to be proud of and chances for a repeater next year looks good. Francis Baldwin Basketball Editor 43 Many things are discussed, such as who to guard, what to do after a basket, and many other things just before the games. Only hard, long hours of prac- tice made it possible to be in the re- gional game. FIRST REGIONAL WIN EVER NORTH BRANCH 84-Sebewaing 80 Francis Baldwin is seen here grabbing one of his many rebounds. They came es- pecially hard to all the players in the Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart game, as their first string averaged well over the six foot mark. Following the hard fought contest the Broncos, who were naturally very disap- pointed, proved that they were true champions of the Thumb, by staying on the floor to congratulate each Sacred Heart player. Then to further prove that they were well-coached and disciplined they stood on the floor and gave the winners a well-deserved hand as they received the regional championship trophy. Coach Lamiman and each of the team proved that even if they didn't get what they deserved in the ratings they were able to take defeat like men. 45 BILL HAACK Senior Guard LARRY HALLOCK Senior Center DOUG MONROE Junior Forward AL HAACK Junior Forward JOE HENNE Junior Guard AL PEET Junior Guard DALE JAMISON Junior Forward DAVE GRAHAM Sophomore Guard 46 FRANCIS BALDWIN Senior; Forward.

BASEBALL HAVE FAIR The wins were few, but the enjoyment great. Every game and practice filled the desire and love for the game of baseball. Just great guys playing a great game. The loyalty of the coaches, the dedication of each member of the team, the encouragement of the cheer- leaders and the backing of the entire student body are some of the ingredients that go into sports at NBHS. With this type of devotion, we always win, we always come out on top, no matter what the final score is. 1967 VARSITY SCHEDULE NB 15 Brown City 2 NB 3 Marlette 1 NB 5 Deckerville 6 NB 3 Imlay City 6 NB 3 Millington 4 NB 1 Birch Run 4 NB 1 Millington 16 NB 4 Imlay City 8 NB 0 Birch Run 11 NB 5 Deckerville 1 Captain--NORM EDWARDS Highest Batting Average--NORM EDWARDS .250 average Most Valuable Player--NORM EDWARDS NORM EDWARDS JERRY KUZMA 50 J.V.

They introduced various new cheers, chants, songs, and mounts throughout the year. They also prepared many pep meetings in which amusing skits were featured. The cheerleaders held several victory parties that helped to keep the NBHS spirit on top. These parties were held in cheerleaders homes with the entire stu- dent body invited. The big money making project for the year was Bake Sales. This money helped the girls purchase new uniforms. The cheerleading sponsor, was Miss Carol Ander- son; and Miss Jill Herron, the daughter of Mr. Mrs. Sam Herron, was the cheerleaders mascot.

The two parties held a caucus to select candidates to run for offices and trusteeships.

Folly Faskets--Jerry Kuzma, Tom Snoblen, Suzanne Orr, Sara Hallock, Colette Worgess, Marsha Caldwell, Cheryl Patrick, Diane Hicks, Wendy Sutherland, Onalee Edwards, Connie Elendenan and Joe Henne. Student Council members faced a busy and exciting year. Acting as the governing body of the students, their responsibilities were many. Homecoming was the first activity to be planned by the Student Council members. Careful preparation made the festivities a success. Throughout the year the Council sponsored activities and assemblies in the students' interest areas. Their dance with the Warlocks and Davy Jones, a disc jockey from WTRX, was a tremendous success. An important function of this or- ganization is sponsoring the Exchange Student program. Maths Westlund spent a year in America and Anna Schank will spend the summer in Europe under their sponsorship. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS--Sara Hallock, Treasurer; Suzanne Orr, Sec- retary; Dale Rhode, President; and Dave Costello, Vice-President guided and led the Council through their many activities. STUDENT COUNCIL GOVERNS ACTIVE PROGRAM 56 Sponsors Many Assemblies and Activities ADVISOR--Mr. Paul Bush has served as our advisor for sev- eral years. We are indeed sad to learn that he will not be at NBHS next year. We shall miss his tremendous school spirit, guidance, coaching and our favorite government teacher. Best wishes!

SENIORS PRESENT—'LOCK, STOCK AND LIPSTICK’’ SENIOR PLAY January 20 21, 1967 LOCK, STOCK, AND LIPSTICK The plot of the play is centered around a woman-hating guidance counselor, who is softened by an attractive young teacher, who literally moves into his office. A tough, young hoodlum adds a lot of action to the play, when he tries to stand up to all his superiors. Bill Haack.........Mr. Gordon Warren Larry Hallock . . Melodie Smith . Cheryl Patrick .

Two-Act Secret Agent Comedy This comedy (so bad with its humor it's got to be funny) centers around one paranoid Maxwell Smart who it seems should be anything but an American secret agent. By some quirk of fate, however, he seems to succeed in secret agenting without really trying, facing death at every turn and dismissing it bravely with a somewhat un- certain smile. The television series is a mildly sarcastic reaction to the upstart of James Bond with its subsequent followers of I Spy, Blue Light, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. , etc. In the theatrical production of GET SMART, we find Max once again outwitting Kaos who this time is trying to steal (and does) a powerful weapon from a famous pro- fessor and hold it for ransom. If they don't get their ransom (100 million dollars), they are quite willing to blow up the entire world. Max, of course, stops them and in his doing so, regains his position on the most valuable secret agents list while at the same time saving all the important characters from certain annihilation at the hands of that ever present force--evil.

Sutton. Having received a first place rating in both district and state festivals, our band is rated among the top ten Class C bands in the state. The seventy two members have won a total of 375 medals this year and two musicians, Colette Worgess and Connie Clendenan, will travel to Europe with the All-Student Band this summer. NBHS band members have helped to promote school spirit by performing at pep assemblies, athletic events and other activities. This is the same band that re- ceived standing ovations when they performed for 2400 stu- dents in London, Ontario, Niagara Falls, and again at their Spring Concert.

This year's staff has also tried to entertain and amuse with its features, sur- veys, and cartoons. The editorials, written by the editor, attempted to express the views of the paper and to give better understanding of controversial topics to the readers. The current staff published eleven editions with three free special editions.

Absent: Archie Mabery, Treasurer. Members of the School Board are elected to a four-year term to represent the voters of the District. They meet the first Wednesday of each month, and hold special meetings when nec- essary. The Board has the responsibility of hiring a Superintendent, adminstering school finances, and establish- ing school policies. ADMINISTRATION GUIDES SCHOOL Mr. Lloyd Daniels, our superintendent, can be found in many areas of our school, keeping abreast of all school situations. Our cameras have found him operating the cash register in the cafeteria, directing traffic after school, teaching driver's education, sweeping in the hallways, chalking the football field, driving bus, and generally endearing himself to the student body. Information and guidance are among the many services performed by our principal, Mr. Jack Vincent. Among his duties first semester was teaching two hours of math. Second semester found him travelling to col- leges and universities to recuit teachers for next year. Lloyd D.

POTTER Biology General Science ROGER RICHARDS Vocal Music The Teacher Can Stimulate Remembering, Reasoning, Evaluating, and Creative Thinking in Any Classroom, at Any Level. Although the faculty of North Branch High sees fit to devote much of its after-school time to the school, they have many varied interests of their own that the students do not see, that make teachers human beings instead of overzealous educators. The faculty can be seen in many different capac- ities; as teachers in a classroom, class sponsors or ticket takers at a basketball game. They are the understanding counsel we seek in time of need or a cheerleader in the Senior-Faculty Game. But they are students too, since many of our teachers are working toward advanced degrees. They have part-time jobs to supplement their teaching incomes; they have outside interests and hobbies. These are the people that make up the teaching profession of the North Branch High School. They do not exist merely for the classroom, but are well- rounded individuals contributing a large part of themselves and their abilities to the community.

Students can choose from the regular menu or have items a la carte.

He only has two years of school left. Where has the time gone? • As he looks this year he is going to be even busier. The school sees this extra energy and sets aside such special activities for this year as: competing to be the summer exchange student, Girls and Boys All-State, the Jr.-Sr. Prom, the class play, the Valentine's Dance and the Sadie Hawkins Dance and noon concessions. Yes, this is a very busy year, but somehow, the Junior finds the time and the energy to look to the past, live in the present and gain new ideas and make plans for the future. f. . The Juniors' first dance was the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. The Warlocks, from Marlette, provided the music. The Fricket Family, consisting of Larry Hallock, Melodic Smith, Kathy Lake, Suzanne Orr, and Doris Sillers, won the prizes for best costumes.

At least it was to over some four hundred and fifty students, who attended the annual Valentine Dance, February 11. The highlight of the evening was the Jayhawkers, a nationally known recording group. 88 89 the ambitious faces of . . . At last--he is a Senior. This is his last year in high school and it is filled with many activities and memorable events. He is busy with homecoming, his class play, the Christmas dance. Besides these activities he is busy getting pictures taken, ordering announcements and name cards, making plans for the senior trip, and of course, making plans for his future. Prob- ably the most exciting week of the year is the week leading to graduation. This is the week of Class Night and Baccalaureate, senior parties, and then comes the big event, the one he will never forget--Commence- ment. Now he finally receives his diploma. Yes, the senior year is the busiest and most exciting year in high school. It is one that will never be forgotten and will always yield fond memories. A Senior reaching for the height of achievement, preparing for adventure, has decided his future. The games and cheers, the dances and laughter, the losses and tears, the prayers and solitude have brought his goal to him. A Senior has united his mind, heart and soul with tomorrow! United upon the rim of the changing world the Seniors stand together to look back upon the high school year that, for them, was the greatest. This was the Sen- iors' last year in high school, the one in which they achieved their most significant successes. Class Colors . . . Blue and Silver Class Flower . . .

Meet the students that are responsible for this yearbook. The waking hours of BRONCONIAN staffers are filled with writing copy, composing cuts and acquiring ulcers at an early age. Probably one of NB's busiest classes, the BRONCONIAN staff managed to squeeze in between the business at hand, such extra as a Harvest Supper, a winter sales assembly and campaign, the taking of underclassmen and candid pictures and senior polls, attending the U of D Yearbook Convention and several workshops. To present the many faces of the school year is the purpose of the yearbook staff so your BRONCONIAN gives you full coverage of all events and activities occurring at NBHS. Late hours and headaches are the regular fare of our dedicated advisor, Miss Joy Johnson, whose in- genuity, creativity and humorous personality endeared her to the entire staff. Running a yearbook staff demands frequent meetings over important details as it is not all pictures in a yearbook. Many hours are spent in planning, typing, writing copy and proofreading. And even when the Yearbook is finally out, the staff has no rest, because the book and the cycle begins again even before it is completed. fCA A c UoclC J irs -Ol e£ STAFF Editor-in-Chief- - SARA HALLOCK Co-Editor--CHERYL PATRICK Assistant Editor--MELISSA ORR Senior Editor--SUZANNE ORR Business Manager--PAT YOUNGER Assistant Business Manager--NORM EDWARDS Photographer and Basketball Editor--FRANCIS BALDWIN Football Editor--BILL HAACK Track and Baseball Editor--MIKE MARGRIF Senior Supplement--DORIS SILLERS Index--MELODIE SMITH Typists--BOB HURD and LOUISE SARI Advisor—MISS JOY JOHNSON Education ought not to cease when we leave school; but if well begun there, will continue through life . . . The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught as that every child should be given the wish to learn . .. If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow . . . ... Sir John Lubbock eat thing in this world is not here, we stand as .in what we are moving.
