Turkey Trot was Huge Success On Tuesday, November 23rd, North Branch held it’s first ever “Turkey Trot”. The main purpose of the turkey trot was to help the less fortunate families in the North Branch area. Over $600 worth of food and money was donated. There was a total of 17 turkeys and coaches involved, which were sponsored by the classes and organizations. Also, there was a “ Turkey of the Day ” contest who in which would start the race. Our very own, Mr. Schleicher, was chosen by the students. When it was all over, coach Reggie Callendar and the turkey, sponsored by the school’s graphic class, were the win- ners. Also Reggie took first place for the best coaches costume, and Uncle Sam, sponsored by the student council, took first place for the best dressed turkey. This great event was sponsored by the newspaper staff, “ Bronco Hoofbeat”, and the student council. The whole idea was for charity and to just have a little fun. OFFICAL TURKEY OF THE DAY! ,4

On Friday October 8, many of us found ourselves anxiously awaiting the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Katie Kaltz. The crowning of the King, Jim Howard, took place the following Saturday night at the annual dance. Our 1982 Homecoming, while very exciting and memorable, was made especially terrific by our 49-0 victory over the Marlette Red Raiders. Opposite page- The 1982 Homecoming Court and representatives.

The blood at North Branch High School flowed much better in “83” than the previous year as we topped the old record by 28 pints. Staff, students, and alumni pumped out a total of 96 pints. Donors poured into the gymnasium with scared faces and shaky hands from 8:00 til 2:00. But the reassuring nurses and student helpers built their spirits back up. All donors felt gratified in that they were giving something that was needed. The blood drive was sponsored by the yearbook and newspaper class. The 1983 blood drive was a huge success.
