Our teams, clubs, band, and other activities have given us the opportunity to travel and see the world around us. We I CO (Tie tO OuT World Ol . . . Student Life

. . . and welcome to it! A year of happenings? Yes, just a glance at the 72-73 school year will remind us just how much our world really changed. Newspaper headlines screaming out the deaths of two great presidents and pro- claiming Nixon's landslide re-election, Mark Spitz breaking all Olympic swim records and claiming seven gold medals for the United States. At the same time, an Olympic truce was broken with Arab guerrillas taking the lives of Israeli ath- letes. It was a great year for making news. The United States was wrapping up the last of its moon missions, while the Miami Dolphins were boasting victory over the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl. Still another long-awaited event was in the making. On Janurary 23. 1973 a cease-fire peace was announced for Vietnam. Yes, it was a year full of changes, some good, some bad. But they were necessary to make our world what it is today!

Cindy, Dave Reign Over 1972 Homecoming Events r' During the first six days of October, our world was one of the busiest places around. Students, teachers and even the administration were busy getting ready for our Homecoming. People could be caught doing anything from paper macheing to playing dizzy bat, or from marching through town in the rain, to attempt- ing a iourney on stilts. The Student Council, once again, succeeded in providing a variety of games and spirit building activities for homecoming day! On October 6, the night of the game, the Broncos trampled the Imaly City Spartans 20 to 14, the seniors claimed victory over the other classes in the float and victory jug contests, and Dave Brusie and Cindy McNish were crowned our Homecoming King and Oueen. After the game the annual homecoming dance was held in the high school. It was a busy week for North Branch, also one of which alot of memories remain, some firsts, some lasts, but all happy!
