IT “WELCOMI BRONCO COU Xfib Be North Branch High School North Branch, Michigan 48461 The Brand Of The Broncos! In our “territory”, we have our very own brand that is worn with pride. The block letters N.B. are found on everything from letter jack- ets to socks. It shows the world that we are a part of something we believe in and are proud to be associated with — North Branch High School. 4 Those Were The Days My Friend We Thought They’d Never End Leather And Lace The girls at N.B. keep up with the styles. Now ruffles and frills are what you’ll see instead of the ordinary jeans and T- shirts. Underneath the sturdy leather coats you’ll also see some lace, which makes the leather a little less tough, but still gets the meaning of who’s boss across to all the cowboys.

The 1981-82 newspaper and yearbook classes, with the help of Mr. Henne, took it upon themselves to do something bene- fit a lot of people. They held a blood mo- bile on December 15, 1981. A pancake and sausage breakfast was served to everyone who donated blood. The many teachers, students, and people from the community that gave found it to be a slightly scary but rewarding experience. American Red Cross 16 Opposite Page: 1.

Montgomery A Student’s Work Is Never Done 32 “Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow.” This seemed to be the advice many of us Seniors lived by our last year of high school.

Smith Some of the most memorable events during high school are the ones spent with all of your friends. Many of these memories are filled with laughter and smiles while others remind us of disappointment and tears. There are football games, dances, pep assemblies. Its people that make the events so special. You may, laugh, cry, or get bored stiff, but you can share it with someone. So don’t miss out on these special times. Go on, get the gang together and do some- thing great. Round em up for a special memory. Rollin W. Stuewer Katrina R. Summersett Scott M. Sutter Cynthia L. Tallieu Robert A.

We’re ready to go, full of anticipation curious of what our future’s will bring. But on this spe- cial evening we each take the time to think back over those unforgettable moments. A thousand memories rush through our minds tonight, wishing we could relive them just once more. Graduation is a reflection of times past and times to come. So after we’ve looked over our shoulder, we each turn our heads to face for- ward with open eyes to face that new future. 44 The Final Event 1. The Graduation Class of 1982. 2.

He was the strong player on the team. Mike should be a very fine player next year. 1. Bob Kennedy concentrates on putting. 2. Practicing hard on the putting range is Mike Kleynenberg. 3.

Oscar placed at every meet and went to state competition. He placed 52nd at state. There were three new runners on the team. They were Todd Sutton, Dave Caldwell, and Garnet Siedmiorta. Todd and Dave ran on the Varsity team and Garnet ran on the Junior Varsity. Maria Rogers started crosscountry her sophomore year and has been the only girl to ever complete a season of crosscountry.

With three juniors a sophomore and a freshman starting, the Broncos cut their way through a tough schedule, to a 9-11 record. The conference was loaded with very talented teams such as the State Ranked Raiders of Marietta who were given quite a battle by the young Broncos twice.

We found that we had a much heavier workload to adjust to and nobody was behind us pushing us to get things done. With tests and exams to study for and reports to write, we began to feel a little more inde- pendent. Aside from the classes, we had a variety of things to do to keep us busy throughout the year, from sports to different clubs we found something is al- ways going on for us to get involved in. 132 A Busy Year opposite page. 1.

We have great memories of our first “real” homecoming as high school students, and we look forward to three more. Of course, who could forget all those stories Mr. Ward started to tell us and never got around to finish. Beyond all the aggravation we’ve endured throughout the year with hall blocks, as the targets of food fights, and with tests and exams, we learned that pulling together not only as a class but as “FRIENDS” will carry us through our re- maining three years at N.B.H.S. with flying colors.
