Wauneta High School - Broncho Yearbook (Wauneta, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1974 volume:

Wauneta, Nebraska 1973-74 Dedication The 1974 Bronco is dedicated to the Mother and Fathers of the Students of Wauneta High School. If it weren't for you behind us, giving us a helping hand here and discipline there, we would not be the people we are today. Your guidance has helped in the formation of memories, which will, and have ended our high school careers and make us ready to take that important step forward into the world of tomorrow. He is too experienced a parent ever to make positive promises. Christopher Morley 2 Hoofprints Peg L , Kathi W., Alice J., Kate V., Deb D.
