BRONCOS FIGHT YEA TEAM! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Bduhi fha jmm, C The annual Patron Drive to raise funds for the promotion of the school athletic program is an activity highlight. This year a high of 52,300 was attained. Delphine Piekarska Csecond from rightl has spearheaded the drive for two consecu- tive years by bringing in more patrons than any other individual. This year Juniors from Room IO3 came out first in the drive, both Senior rooms came a close second. On the Hoot the Broncos battle to win. On the sidelines are the unsung warriors of the clock and scorecard. They have their hands full at any game, keeping one eye on the stop-watch and another on the ball. It may seem simple enough, but just try it. They take upon them- selves this responsibility and receive little credit for it. The ticket booth and stairway attendants are a few more unheralded heroes who sacrifice see- ing the game, their time and themselves to work for the school. Here is monetary responsibility which takes careful handling and for which little recognition is accorded. Page 63
