Memories are basically “re- flections of our lives, a time to pause, a time to participate, a time to think. Some of the most beautiful of these life long memories are rela- ted with the years we spend in high school. The changes in the surroundings, attitudes and emo- tions of the students at North Branch High School make these memories most vivid and special to each of us. With these pictures we try to share with each of you the memories that make high school life so spe- cial and exciting. 1 Emotions Are Beautiful . . . 2 Having fun is what being young is all about, and no one knows how to have fun better than the stu- dents at North Branch. We always enjoyed being together and whatever the occasion, be it work or play, you could count on a little mischief and a lot of excite- ment. We always accomplished what we set out to do. We might not have been very organized but how many times did we hear “Have fun while you're Young? 3 While Searching . . . 4 Study! Listen! Learn! Teachers tell us that this is what school should be, a place to fit our minds and our ambitions for the future. But in the mass confusion of bells, books, and buses, we the students of North Branch, find time for the simple fun things. We sometimes don't realize that while we're run- ning around laughing at Mr. von Hofe's tale of the day, or the book reports in history, or maybe whis- pering about biology class, or never knowing where science class is going to be, that we're passing through the most wonder- ful, carefree days of our lives — A time when we can eat, drink, and be merry without all those Icky responsibilities of adulthood. 5 For Everything . . . To look back over the year we’d have to say that “emotions are beautiful no matter what you're searching for in life. Emotions say so much about a person, they express whether he’s happy, or sad, or angry. They tell us what a person is thinking about, and they help us to understand each other better. When we’re aware of these emo- tions we can communicate better with people. So it’s our aim with this yearbook to communicate with you the year 1971-72 at North Branch High School. 6 Academics and Administration School is but one of the paths in life we all must tread. Though the thought of classes, teachers and cafeteria lunches usually leaves us dry, we have to appreciate the efforts the people associated with these responsibilities put forth to make school possible for us. The emotional involvement of each of the teachers, administrators and school helpers here at North Branch brings that extra-special, warm feeling while reminiscing our high school days. Improvements Made by Our Board, Administration The Board of Education and the Admin- istration at North Branch High School had many problems to face in running our school'. This year a special problem arose. It was the millage election in March. Much campaigning was done for this election and the Student Council threw its support behind the administra- tion. Also, they successfully completed the new four room addition to the east end of the high school. 8 Above Left: North Branch Area Schools Board of Education.

This year there was the addition of student janitors. They were a big help to the custodians. Also new were two buses which were much appreciated. As usual, everyone complained about the cafeteria food and more about the waiting for it. The cafeteria did however, provide an opportunity for several students to work during the school day. 11 Above Left: Mrs. Bigelow goes over and reviews test scores.

Miss Kriener was a student teacher trom C.M.U. working with Mr. Schleicher and Mr. Snoutfer. The two busiest people in our school last year were Mr. Krepps and Mrs. Bigelow, our counselors. Aside from their other duties, Mrs. Bigelow es- tablished a curriculum committee for the students and Mr. Krepps was in charge of Co-op. MRS.

In the Social Studies department a third Current Events Class was added. It was taught by Mr. Moberly. The departmental library was increased this year to one-hundred forty-three vol- umes, in history. 16 Business, Social Studies: Moving Onward MISS SHARON GRAY Shorthand. Typing. Bus.

The Art Department received a much wanted kiln which proved very useful. The Home Economics program was enlightened by the visits and lectures of Miss Kelly from the De- troit Edison Co. The Shop Classes this year built barns which are of a different styles than previous years. In addi- tion to the annual plane rides, this year Ag. Class visited M.S.U. 21 The duck walk, a penalty for the tardy, was probably new for the Freshmen but there were also addi- tions to the entire Physical Education program. The use of the weight room and the new weights were added to the guy’s program. The girls, after baseball, basketball, hockey and football took a stab at dancing. The Student Council purchased two battle balls for both the guy’s and girl’s P.E. classes. Battle Ball contin- ued to be one of the favorites. MR DON SMEZNIK Boys' Physical Education MISS NOEL JOHNSON Girls' Physical Education 77 Student Life Our lives weren’t all work, no, there were many extracurricular ac- tivities last year with a lot of student participation. The many clubs provided the sort of social education that we all enjoyed. It’s good to know that in this world of constant work and pressure there is a time and place to free our minds of all frustrations and search for individual identities. 23 'Liberated' Student Council Stresses Participation The Student Council started the year lib- erated. considering Helen Sillers was council president. To keep the school spirit built to an in- teresting level, they sponsored poster contests, assemblies, pregame ceremo- nies, a talent show and Homecoming, which to say the least were very suc- cessful. They also had a Snow Carnival planned, but can you believe that it was canceled because of a lack of snow? The Student Council’s basic purpose over the year was to get students and organizations involved. 24 (OPPOSITE) Top Left: Beauty there wasn't when Jerry Martz' bug special made its appearance at the Homecoming powder puff game.

Jun- iors had the prize winning float. The Middle School received sec- ond place, freshmen third place, seniors finished fourth. Thirty-four minutes later the football squad rounded off the night’s festivities by dumping Yale 14-3. The story of Homecoming 1971 can be summarized in one word — innovation. The major additions included activities in the gym, sponsored by Student Council. Also new was the crowning of the King — Dave Lauwers at the new Homecoming dance. 26 Homecoming Ceremonies (OPPOSITE) Top Left: Queen Annell Heuiser Top Right: King Dave Lauwers.

Throughout Homecoming Week Spirit” was expressed in many different ways. We started our activities in the gym with students show- ing their pyramid building ability. Then bring back childhood memories, the smallest students from each class attempted to race tricycles. Our final activity, the egg toss, required a soft touch. Before walking through town to show off our floats, Mr. Gleason was pie- sented a tricycle, with which he led the pa- rade. 28 Left: Catching eggs doesn’t seem to be a spe- cialty of Paul Knox.

And now ladies and gentlemen, the high stepping, marching, Bronco Band! But wait! Was that Mr. Sutton in front? Nope. That was Rubber Duckie Krepps the highlight of two of the halftime shows. The band certainly did its part in keep- ing North Branch Pride” on the up- ward grade by bringing home “1's” from district and state competition. It also sponsored candy sales, pancake suppers and other money-making activi- ties. Their tour last spring included a visit to the Grand Ole Opera in Nash- ville, Tennessee. 30 Tour, Competition Makes Band 'Sparkle' (OPPOSITE) Top Left: Rain, snow, sleet, or hail, the band still marches on.

The members could easily be identified by their “Pep Club Jackets.’’ Varsity Club sponsored the annual Senior-Teacher game in December. Troubadours, also new this year, are a select group of students who audi- tioned to perform popular music for the public. They performed at Mt. Grampion Ski Resort in February. They were accompanied by a four- member rock band. The choir performed in all band con- certs this year. They received choir risers for their performances. 32 (OPPOSITE) Top Left: Mr. Hudson really gets involved with the direction of the choir. Top Right: Troubadours. Bottom: Senior High Choir.

They also served breakfast in the cafete- ria before study hall. F.F.A. hosted a Leadeiship Con- ference and had a winning basket- ball team, 3-1. The Science Club visited Lapeer Hospital and did experiments after school. Cadet Teachers, in their second year, seemed to be very success- ful assisting elementary and middle school teachers. 34 (OPPOSITE) Top: Cadet Teachers.

Student secretaries have provided much help for teachers by typing and running errands. The appearance of the library was improved with new carpeting. Micro- film and microfilm projectors were also added to the library. 37 Above: Mr. Krepps gets the pie at the French Club Faculty Auction.

Entertainment for the elementary students kept the first year Performing Arts Club (P.A.C.) active during the first year. The seven permanent members with the assistance of members working toward permanent membership, were responsible for helping to stage the successful production of the Miracle Worker. The initial year was directed by Mr. Schleicher. The Art Club originally formed last year really came alive during the 1971-72 with the addition of a ceramics Kiln. The Club traveled to the Detroit Institute of Art in the Fall. Flowers bloomed in the spring, when the club sponsored Give a friend a flower day.” One club that's been in existence for a number of years, scored a success at their third annual French Club faculty auction. The club again sold mistletoe at Christmas. All money-making projects enabled the club to charter a bus for a day at the Cedar Point Amusement Park. 39 'Miracle Worker' Silences Audience Above: The stage manager.

She re- turned. however, a week later to complete a full schedule of three performances and gain the honor of best actress of the year. The Miracle Worker was the only play pro- duced during the year, but it was undoubtably the best play ever produced here at North Branch. The cast included Margaret Naracon (Helen); Brenda McConnel (Annie); Sharon Joseph (Kate); Dennis Marshall (Captain Keller); Judy Swoish (Aunt Ev); Randy Allen (Doctor); Mark Adams (James Keller); Cindy Dietz (Martha); Debbie Sohn (Viney); Don Kennedy (Percy); Steve Joy (Lighting technician); Liz Herron (Stage Manager); and Brenda Kennedy (Stage hand and Girl Friday). Direction of The Mira- cle Worker was handled by Mr Lee Schleicher. 41 Top Left 1971-72 National Honor Society. Top Right: N.H.S. Induction features the inspiring candlelight ceremony.

The staff emphasized news instead of entertainment this year. The Ski Club went skiing a number of times during the winter. They skied at Timberly, Cannonsburg, and Mt. Holly. Money-making pro- jects included selling goodies at basketball games and auctioning brand new basketballs. 43 i°?

For the first time ever, the prom was held in the high school cafeteria. Because of this, many students were surprised at its success. In order for couples to dine before the prom, the event was sched- uled from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., in contrast to previous years. The juniors decorated the front hall to represent a trellised pathway, leading to the garden terrace, which was the scene of the prom itself. The Hot Water, a group of professional musicians from Ann Arbor, supplied the music. Light refreshments were served — including a special fare- well cake for the seniors. 45 National Honor Society Recognizes Doc Quast Being chosen Teacher of the Year” by students is quite an honor. This year the honor was bestowed upon Mr. Quast, our chemistry teacher. “Doc, the nickname stu- dents have given him, participates in many extra-curricular activities. This past year he sponsored the ski club, pep club and Jr. Class. He also coaches football. During the winter months Doc spends his weekends (and a few Mondays) on the ski slopes. Mr. Quast came to North Branch High from Flint North- western, two years ago. He has been teaching for 3 years. Around the halls, Doc can usually be seen wearing a crooked smile that is characteristic to his Happy Go Lucky personality. Congratulations, Doc ! 46 Seniors Days of carefree fun and laughter. Days in which no one could disillusion our brilliantly pictured futures. Yes, it’s hard to pinpoint the beginning; the times in between are easily remembered: and the end, graduation, is a day of many mixed emotions. Sadness because of leaving friends. Happiness for our accomplishments. Confusion not to know what our futures hold. Yes, we weren't too sure, but we didn’t hesitate. Seniors: Reflections of Our Lives The days of thorns and roses are over now for us, the Seniors of 72. But when we look back to our last year in high school, we smile as we remember the happenings of a very busy year. To organize our activities we elected Jim Farrand, President; Charlene Miller, V. President; Sherry Lipka, Secretary; and Beth Worgess, Treasurer. In preparation for our senior trip, we successfully staged a magazine sale, which, by the way, was the largest ever at N.B.H.S., a fish fry, raffled off a dune-cycle and ended the year with a smorgasbord. Our trip to Schuss Mt. was a blast, but we all agreed that earning the money to go was fun, also. Top Right: Senior class officers and sponsors.

They are chosen on leader- ship, scholarship, participation and past performance in high school. The American Legion Citizenship Award given by the American Le- gion Post in North Branch was awarded to Helen Sillers and Barry Kriener. The Danforth, I Dare You, award was presented to Jim Farrand and Andrea Orr. This award was spon- sored by the North Branch Busi- ness men and High School faculty. Dennis Marshall and Jackie Craw- ford were honored for receiving the top scholastic averages in the Senior class, Jackie as Valedicto- rian and Dennis as Salutatorian. They were not only top students in their class but active in all school functions. Jackie also received the D.A.R. award for 1972. 62 Seniors Honored for Successful Achievements (OPPOSITE) Top: Valedictorian. Jackie Crawford and Salutatorian.

Bottom: Thoughts of tomorrow cause Lynn Waugh to ponder the uncer- tainties of the future. 64 Each spring, although there are minor changes and new faces, graduation holds the same feeling for the seniors. A feeling of free- dom, enthusiasm, confidence ... a feeling that they can “Lick the World. But behind all this there’s a little emptiness, also. Graduation for the Class of 72 was made ex- tra special by the drama department, as it set the mood with special lighting. At Baccalaureate, on Sunday evening, Rev. Mclver presented the Baccalaureate address which directed the seniors to consider God’s will in their future. Class night was highlighted when the journal- ism department showed slides from through- out the year in accord with the class song, Reflections of My Life. Finally, on June 7 came Commencement, the night they had waited and worked toward for thirteen years. Dr. Harold Boles from Western Michigan University delivered the Commence- ment address. In less than 30 minutes, all the seniors had received their diplomas and high school was no longer a part of their lives. The work is hard, the way is narrow, “But it’s by his fruits man is measured. 65 Fun for Seniors at Schuss Mountain 66 Top: A scream and a splash were sounds often heard at Schuss Mountain.

The girls really had a job on their hands introducing this new style o cheering and keeping the student body spirit built up to a high pitch. It was tough, but their persisting enthu- siasm kept the school behind the teams, even when we lost.

Before the champion- ship Harbor Beach Game we were rated 18th in the state for Class B schools and that was something to be proud of. Coach Smeznik said ‘‘Considering we played a hard conference schedule and tougher teams, the team did a fine job.” Offensive Star Larry Lamphier sparkled with 1,174 yards rushing. That was good enough to make honorable mention all- state and first team all-conference. Needless to say we were very proud of our team! 71 Left: Player and coaches follow the field action.

We went the first four games without defeat, but from then on it seemed that we were constantly plagued with repeated turnovers and extremely physical games. Although every player saw action and a combi- nation of zone and man to man de- fense was used, we still fell to a num- ber of our predators. The season's end found our basketball team with a 9-7 winning record. 74 Basketball Scores Opposition Them Us Armada . . .65 77 Marlette . . .68 70 Birch Run . . . . . . .42 66 Harbor each Sag.

The team was there, but where were you? Considering the fact that there were only six guys on the team and that they were all inexperienced, they did a fair job. Nothing outstanding, but they certainly merited recognition. It was a building year for Cross- Country. 80 Above Left: Panting as he crosses the finish line.

The guys didn’t set any new records but as the year progressed so did their determination and improvement. Their coach Mr. Schneider felt that be- cause 15 of the 23 team members were Freshmen or Sophomores, that the team will be much stronger in the future. Six of the thirteen team members to earn Varsity letters were Sophomores. 82 (OPPOSITE) Top: Jed Des Jardins makes high jumping look as easy as jumping into bed.

Underclassmen To a freshman, that search for everything (fulfillment) may seem a long way off; but it never seems to worry them very much. The underclassmen are noted for their antics and the fact that they go out of the way to have fun. But why not, the future is theirs. As we moved into our Junior Year we realized that we were con- fronted with many more responsi- bilities than ever before. To guide and represent us in ac- complishing our goals we chose; President, Cindy McNish; Vice- President, Mary Ann Schlaud; Sec- retary, Sharlene Hunt; and Trea- surer, Joyce Lindsay. Beginning the year we proved our- selves tops. We chose Phyllis Dodds as our representative and our Homecoming float Mama Told Me Not to Come” placed first. We continued on by successfully staging the Sadie Hawkins’ and Valentine’s dance. Our Junior Senior Prom, was a bit different from the past years with hard work and planning proved to be a success. Thus wrapping up an eventful year the class of ”73” looked forward to our Senior Year. 86 Robert Adamic Randy Allen Dawn Bodmer Chris Bogar Mike Bologna David Bond Jane Bowman Debbie Brace Dave Bruise Kim Buhl Richard Buono Debbie Byers Jeffery Carmean Ed Case Brian Caughey Dave Chickanoski Dolley Choate Pam Cloutier Darlene Collins Barb Currell Jed DesJardins Pat Dooghe Phyllis Dodds Robin Dreyer Randy Fischer Glenda Freeland Debbie Gubanche Amberlle Guianen 87 Linda Gyomory Don Hagemeister Danny Haines Terry Hampton Sherrey Hillier Debbie Hilts Don Hobson Larry Hohman Ralph Holcomb Stanley Howard Sharlene Hunt Terry Hunt Mark Husted John Hutchinson Dave Johnson Sally Johnson Sheila Johnson Darlene Jones Scott Kelsey Carol King Marjorie Knox Donna Kohler Linda Kohler Len LaFave 88 Bruce Lilley Dennis Linder Joyce Lindsay Marion Listwak Rick McDowell Russ McDowell Carol Mclver Barry McLeod Cindy McNish Duane Margrif Debbie Marlinga Gordy Mietz Laura Milbocker Keith Miles Debbie Miller Brian Mitchell BettyJo Mobley Peggy Morse Margaret Naracon Ron Neal Sandy Nellenbach Joe Obrzut Pam Oliver John Pasternak 89 Ruth Patrick Walter Peterson Andy Peplinski Gloria Pittman Connie Podvin Robert Pollard Martha Potter Bim Rogers Danny Rose Ed Rudy Regina Ruhlman Martha Sanford Mary Lou Sari Ron Schank Jim Schell Mark Schlaud MaryAnn Schlaud Tony Schlaud Steve Severn Bill Shaw Connie Sieh John Simmons Daryll Snoblen Glennda Sohn 90 Steve Spencer Marianne Spezia Kathey Stoneburg John Sutphen Judy Swoish Tom Swoish Charlou Thomas Kim Thomas Susan Titsworth Guy Tobias Keith Turner Cindy Umphrey Dean VanWagen Marion VanZoren Beth Walker Clarke Wheeler Barb Wilder Gary Yakes PICTURES NOT AVAILABLE Mike Adkins Bernard Bruman Dave Brunett Sandra Calicut Judy Ekstrom Mike Farrand Mike Grimes Gena Hollister Bill McLaughlin Mike McMullen Tom Nellenbach Tom Stalker Dawn Sweet 91 Sophomores Create Challenges As Sophomores we expected many challenges throughout the year. To help us through these challenges was President, Tom Sillers; Vice-Pres- ident, Bob Hodgkinson; Secretary, Ann Reynolds; Treasurer, Debbie Sohn. Our first challenge was home- coming. We were very proud of Jill Anderson, our representative and of our float Black Magic. Early in October we ordered our class rings. We sold Christmas can- dles in December to supplement our treasury. Our candidate for Snow Queen was Jenny Orr. We met this year head-on and enjoyed these challenges. We're looking forward to the work and the fun of the rest of our high school years and hope we can tackle them with as much suc- cess as we’ve had so far. 92 Barb Adamic Mark Adams Angie Alexander John Alexander Jill Anderson JoEllen Anderson Roger Anderson Sue Anderson Wendi Bennett Melissa Blumerich Fran Bologna Warren Boyne Jim Bryan Karen Buckley Rose Buono Rick Burmeister Steve Butler Tim Butterfield Karen Childers Lem Childers Chris Clark Kathy Clayton Ernie Coster Mike Coster Noel Cotter George Cox Dawn Crawford Cecil Curell 93 Bill Dewitte Erwin Diller Nancy Dunn Kathey Fick Leland Ford Walter Freeland Robert Geisenhaver Roxanne Glover Harvey Gorsline Eleanor Griswold Kathy Gwinn Dennis Gyomory Cathy Hamm Marion Harmon Doris Hawk John Herron RuthAnn Herron Jeanine Hobson Susie Hodgkinson Molley Hoeppel Robert Howard Tom Hunter Brenda Hutchinson Patti Jamison Randy Jenkins 94 Amy Jo Johnson Karletta Johnson Sharon Joseph Joe Kaltz Don Kennedy Julie Knepfler Ken Knox Paul Knox Valerie Kohler Debra Krake Patti Krawczyk Jon Lamiman Marilyn Lauwers Debbie Lazar Tim Lemaster Vicci Lindsay Laura Longtine Marc Lowe Amy MacNaughton Brenda McConnell 95 •c- Lonny Miles Pat Mitchell Patty Moore David Morse Debi Myers Lora Naracon Brenda Nellenbach Kathy Nellenbach Jenny Orr Wilma Papke Doris Patrick Sabrena Peel Dave Peplinski Dennis Peplinski Tim Powell Rochelle Pridemore Terry Rappuhn Robert Raymond Steve Repic Ann Reynolds John Robbins Fred Robinet Mary Robinet Susie Rogers Linda Rowell Doug Schlaud Don Seaman Mike Senko Chris McDowell Sara McDowell Cindy McLaughlin Eugene Miles 96 JoAnn Shaver Tom Sillers Debbie Simpson Judy Simpson Gail Slater Ellen Smith Karl Smith Janice Snoblen Debbie Sohn Larry Stevens Brian Summersett Carol Sutton Connie Sweeney Gary Swoish Daina Terauds Julie Thompson Bill Traubenkraut Al Truax Bobbie Waibel Sarah Waskul George Westfall PICTURES NOT AVAILABLE George Dallaire Bonnie Ekstrom Charles Fisher Bill Gudzikowski Bob Hodgkinson Jack Jones Timothy Kreiner Kenneth Lawson Dan Ragatz Earlene Spencer Bill White Archie Wickham Don Wilson Ron Wilson Sherrie Woodrow John Woods Audrey Ybarra Robyn Zimmerman 97 Freshmen Search for Recognition When we became freshmen we real- ized that to be recognized by the other classes we would have to prove ourselves worthy. Our class officers for the year were Vickie Richmond, President; Ruth Ann Fricke, Vice- President; Cathy Schank, Secretary; and Lori Adams, Treasurer; they led us into the year confronting and in- forming us of our duties as freshmen. We started the year off with a bang by choosing two of our class mem- bers for offices on the Student Coun- cil. At Homecoming our spirits were not dampened by the fact that it rained. Our float “The Sounds of Si- lence won 3rd place. We were proudly represented on Oueens Court by Lori Adams. In December we picked Darlene Ste- phens as our candidate for Snow Oueen. As freshmen we succeeded in gain- ing our recognition, but our aim is to be the greatest class to graduate from N.B.H.S. 98 Debbie Adamic Lori Adams Lora Adkins Jeff Aldridge Charles Allen Doug Armstrong Deborah Austin Alan Bader Brenda Barnes Rhonda Barrett Patty Blackwell Terry Blogg Kathy Bradley Mae Brown Christine Buhl Linda Burton Brian Butler Kevin Chambers Jay Chase Ron Chase Brenda Childers Kevin Chumney Linda Cosby Cindy Crowe Cheryl Davis Delbert DeHart Valerie DesJardins Raymond Dallaire 99 Jane Dhooghe Linda Ferguson Ken Filkins Penny Firmingham Randy Fischer Vickie Forth Bill Freeland Ruth Ann Fricke Tina Geisenhaver Stanley Gibbons Karen Godfrey Julie Gravlin Sherry Gray Mark Green Frank Gyomory Stanley Hampton Carol Harley Keith Harmon Linda Harrison Kenneth Hart Dolores Heimes Jeff Heron Craig Hicks Keith Hilts Ruth Hohman Sheila Holcomb Carol Howard Denise Hudson 100 Dorothy Hunt Myla Irelan Pamela Jamison Michael Jayne Ronald Jocham Keith Johnson Penny Johnson Steve Joy Phil Judd Harvey Kaltz George Kelly Kathryn Kitts Jeff Knox Renee Krake Robin LaFond Steve Lawson Don Lazar Jon Linder Fred Longtine David Lorenzen Laura Ludington Pat McCardle Vivian McConnell Randy McDowell Dave McKee Calvin McLeod Ralph McMullen Alice MacNaughton Greg MclMish Robin McQueen Lawrence Maloney Ed Medbery Emil Miklovich Cathy Naracon Danny Nellenbach Grace Newbegin Darlene Nolan Dale Nutt Tony O'Brien Craig O’Connor Peggy O’Dell 101 Linda O'Neill Charlene Oliver Tim Olson Rick Opperman Kim Orr Mark Perry Matt Perry Russ Phelps Blaze Podvin Paul Potter Peter Potter Mark Powell Diana Ragatz Kim Ragatz Laura Ranes Dennis Raymond Janice Reynolds Linda Richardson Phillip Richmond Sue Richmond Vickie Richmond Shirley Riley Bill Robinet Denise Rogers Tom Rogers Mary Root Mark Rudy Joe Ruhlman Sandra Seelye Beth Senko Terry Shaw Debby Sholes April Sieh Stephanie Simmons Debbie Smith Lonnie Smith Joe Snoblen Darlene Stephens Linda Stine Sue Stoneburg Tonja Sutton Dale Swoish Mark Tario Janet Thompson Carol Tobias Andrea Tucker Ken Turner Perry Turner Karen Watson Dian Watz Lois Westfall Ken Wickham Luann Williams Linda Winslow Gary Woody Diana Yakes 103 Middle School Crosses Many Roads The Middle School had a very eventful 1971-72 school year. Stu- dents were kept very busy all year with several projects and parties. They started the year out with a lot of recognition, by winning second place in the Homecoming Float Competition. The year was full of roller skating, dances, and Keep N.B.M.S. Beautiful projects, and ball games. They ended the year with a big bang, as they finished with their 2nd annual Middle School Fair. This is sponsored by the Student Council and involves all 3 grades. There were all kinds of booths and games. It was a lot of work and fun for the kids, which they worked on for months. It was a great success. 104 (OPPOSITE) Top: Middle School Student Council Meeting. Bottom Left: Kevin Bradley works on his Sci- ence project.

Beautiful With the addition of the four new rooms last year we were all again united in the High School. The rooms are on the east end of the school and have the sliding doors that are handy for the new dual teaching method. The rooms were all carpeted as were the library and an adjourning room. It was a very much needed and appreciated addition and makes our school much more comfortable. The only thing they forgot was traffic lights at the cor- ners. Top: Terry Hunt vacuums the carpets in the new rooms while Ron Schank cleans things up. Above: These two faces were familiar to the students at N.B.H.S. during construction of the new rooms. Right: Another familiar sight during the fall was this sledge hammer and hard hat. Advertising and Sr. Index In every community there are people whose purpose is to serve the public. So it is with the merchants of the North Branch Area. These people have provided those after game snacks, gas for our snow machines, weekend entertainment. In short, they have made our lives a much more pleasant experience. 109 Scrimger's Florist 2268 N. Lapeer Rd.

CLASS COLORS: Green and White CLASS FLOWER: White Rose CLASS SONG: Reflections of My Life” CLASS MOTTO: Today is the first day of the rest of our lives 27 Our theme for the 1972 Bronconian, “Emotions are beautiful while searching for everything,” describes all situations in life. One such situation was my work on this 1972 yearbook. There were many emotions during the year — some sad, some happy, some mad. But one thing that I found while searching for everything was friendship. A quote from Emerson describes friendship very well: The only way to have a friend is to be one.” North Branch students and faculty have responded in this way during my two years at North Branch High School. At this time, I would like to thank my staff for all their help this year. Although we didn't agree on everything, we worked very effectively together. I would like to give a special thanks to Cindy McNish and Glennda Sohn for the extra effort that they put into this year's Bronconian. The biggest thing these two had going for them was their ability to take constructive criticism and use it to their advantage. An extra special thanks goes out to Mr. Dave Snouffer for all his help and the long hours he spent working on the Bronconian for 1971-72. Layout Editor. Copy Editor . . Staff Members . .
