As of May 16th, 2014 this is the last day of high

school for out 2014 seniors. This years class has

38 seniors some that have been here since Kin-

dergarten or even preschool, some that made

the journey up the hill from CTK to the high

school in 7th grade, and some that have came

here throughout the years.

Senior Abigail Irsfeld was asked how her time

was here as a Tiger and answered, “It was great

and went by really fast!” Fellow classmate Ben-

ton Johnson says, “Relax and have a good

time!”

Matthew Schettler who played Football and ran

Track and was in many clubs his senior year

says, “Don’t let your senior year go to waste.”

Matthew has been a very good role model for

the underclassmen.

Inside this issue:

The Browerville Lions Club had asked the school if the athletes would like to help clean ditch-

es, the school said yes and the athletes helped clean ditches on April 30th, 2014. The Athletes

came in rain boots, rain coats, hats, gloves to the Community Center ready to load a bus and

travel to the Lion’s Club ditch ready to walk about two miles to pick up trash in the ditch. The

Lions Club has done quite a bit for our school, from the new chairs for the gym to donating

money for the school and even to the schools athletic programs. So, this was a way for the

athletes to come back and show how much the Lions Club means to the school and to our

athletic departments.

Thank You

Lions Club!

nated by more than one

staff member. She is

always on the go with

many activities and

projects to keep up with. She was just introduced

into the National Honor Society. Abigail is active in

band, choir, FFA, and yearbook. As an athlete she

competes in track and volleyball. Abigail always has

a smile on her face and is liked by peers and staff..

In her education she yearns to be the best and puts in

the extra time to get the most from it. She is a great

representative for this award and truly demonstrates

“Tiger pride”. Abigail’s advice for younger students

so that they can be a student of the month is to make

sure to work hard, get homework done, and get good

grades. Abigail Prepared by working hard, keeping

her grades up and being involved in a lot of school

activities. Abigail wants to go to St. Cloud Tech to

Teacher’s really helped her through-out her

Adrienne Grady is

Browerville’s Lion’s Stu-

dent of the Month for May.

Adrienne is a senior who is

quietly successful for the

work she has done through-

out her years in Browerville

High-School, and is very

well deserving of this

award. Adrienne has volun-

teered her time and educa-

tion to cross aging the special needs and kindergarten class, and plans

to attend college for Addiction Psychology. Her class work is always

of high quality, more often than asked she goes above and beyond!

She is a sweet, friendly person, she gets along with everyone. She is

always participating in classroom discussions, she's not afraid to voice

her opinion on things, even if it goes against the flow. Adrienne’s

advice for underclassmen trying to earn the award is to try the best

you can, work hard,, turn your homework in on time and attendance is

always important! In a quiet way Adrienne displays what it truly

means to be a “Browerville Tiger”. Being Student of the Month is a

great thing to have on your records, colleges look for great, hard

working students. Adrienne is definitely a role model for underclass-

men because of her hard work and dedication to school and school

work!

Friday was the first annual Hun-

ger Games. A non-violent ver-

sion of course. For the Hunger

Games two students from eve-

ry grade were drawn out of a

box. Their names were put in

there by their fellow students

and teachers paying two dol-

lars to get their name in there.

In order to get out of doing it

you would have to pay five dol-

lars. There were twelve people

Spring Fling was a total suc-

cess. It seemed as though eve-

ryone came together to bring

the school into one colorful

group of students and even

teachers!

Monday was Spring Fever

dress up day. Everyone

dressed up in Spring clothes to

welcome Spring to BHS. Tues-

day was America Day. Every-

one dressed patriotic for our

country. Wednesday was

“MORP” day. BHS students

dressed up in old fashioned

dress up/ prom dresses and

the guys dressed up in old

fashioned suits. Unfortunately

not too many people had dress

up clothes for this day, but it

was still fun! Thursday was

Throw Back Thursday! 50’s,

60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, cavemen,

babies, anything from the past

was everyone’s apparel. Friday

was class color day. This year,

every class had T-shirts made

for them. Most of them had

clever sayings on them for the

class.

In the beginning of 2013-2014 approximately

twenty students joined BPA, but two students of the stood out,

Andy Brichacek and Grace Couchey, they have made their way

through BPA Regions, State, and Nationals. Andy and Grace were

chaperoned by Dan Custer on their trip to Indianapolis. Mr. Custer

said “The overall competition went great, there were 5,000 students

competing and Grace and Andy really did great! He says, “The trav-

eling part was easy because everything was so organized, Andy and

Grace had some tough competition, but I think it’ll be easier next

year because this time they’ll know what to expect, I was so happy

and lucky to be a part of BPA this year I personally learned a lot

myself and look forward to next year!”

Andy and Grace both say “We would love to go back next

year! It was a great learning experience and a great thing to be a

part of! While we were there we got to do some other stuff other

than BPA we got to see a war memorial in downtown Indianapolis,

we took a paddle boat ride down the canal and we visited Kings Is-

land Amusement park! Andy stated “To me BPA is a good group to

be a part of; it has guided me to a good valuable life experience and

showed me what real business professionals are.”

Grace says her first year wasn’t what she thought it would

be, “ I thought when I joined BPA it was going to be strictly just

about business, but after a year I learned that

it’s about much more and opens you up to a lot

of new opportunities, you get to enjoy fun ac-

tivities, meet new people and make great new

friendships, explore many different careers,

and helps prepare you for college!” And who

knows, you might and up going to nationals

like Andy and Grace.

PROM 2014 Drops of Jupiter: Last stop of the 2013-14 School Year

As the school year quickly comes to an end, the 2014 Junior and Senior

Prom “Drops of Jupiter” marks one of the last major events of the school year,

and was a fun and exciting event for the students who attended.

Browerville Prom 2014 “Drops of Jupiter” was on April 26 and was a fun

day for those who attended. The day started off for many by getting their hair

done, getting all dressed up, taking pictures, then heading by limo, car, and even party

bus out to their favorite restaurants. Some of the restaurant choices made by students

this year were Granite City and Grizzly’s, both great dining choices for prom. After

finishing their dining experience, the students then headed back to Browerville where

they had pictures taken professionally by Tolifson Phohtography.

At 7:30, prom goers got the chance to present and show off their dresses and

tuxedos to the crowd at Grand March. After completing their rounds at Grand March,

the dance began. This is one of my favorite parts of prom, being able to dance to our

favorite songs. After almost three hours of dancing, it was time to get ready for Post

Prom, which is put on by the Junior and Senior parents.

When arriving at Post Prom at midnight, hunger is one of the main concerns.

This year some of the food choices were wings, pizza, egg rolls, taco boats, fruit, and

a dessert bar. After eating it was time to take part in all the Post Prom festivities.

Poker, Amazing Race, and volleyball were just a few of the gaming options at Post

Prom. Another awesome event was the hypnotist, where a selected group of students,

I being one of them, were hypnotized.

After hours of dancing and playing, it was time to win some prizes. Some of

the prizes included were TVs, gift cards, fridges, microwaves, and much more. Prom

2014 was definitely a success, and will be one of the great memories of high school,

and will continue to be a fun experience for all.

“The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize out-

standing high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have

demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteris-

tics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.”

On March 26th the National Honor Society Chapter in Browerville honored its incoming members as well

as its veteran members. The members were served a banquet to honor their excellence. Through volun-

teering, academic success, and leadership these students have become pillars in the community. This

night was all about honoring them for the work they have done, and will continue to do.

The Browerville National Honor Society Chapter has not only completed volunteer work individually

outside of school, but has also completed many team effort volunteer projects this school year. In October

they held a blood drive at school to raise money and collect blood to help others in need. During the

Christmas Season, the NHS group raised money for Toys for Tots, providing gifts for children in need. In

the second semester the group held a can tower building contest, adding a fun and exciting way to collect

food for the area food shelf. Next the group held a “Hunger Games” style contest raising money for the

BHS Dollars for Scholars. The group also spent time on Earth Day cleaning the school grounds.

As the school year comes to an end, the NHS torch will now be passed on to the Junior Members. Thanks

to senior members Benton Johnson, Trent Johnson, Emily Lisson, Abigail Irsfeld, Jake Iten, Cody Hans-

meyer, Jackson Polak, and Emily Busch for all the work they c9ompleted here at BHS. Junior members

that will be continuing their work next year are Kate Kellen, MaKenna Hegseth, Dominique Ludwig,

Katelyn Middendorf, and Catherine Aksamit. These students will continue to work hard wherever they

may go to provide service and help to those in need.

Mr. Wagner our Spanish Teacher, Head Wrestling

coach, Track Coach, and a helper with football here

at BHS is leaving for personal reasons.

He was asked what he enjoyed here about the staff

and answered, “The staff is fun and enjoyable to be

around, they are also very easy to get along with

and I have made so many good relationships with

them.”He also says that the students here are for

the most part working and ready and willing to ex-

periment new things in the classroom.

He stated that the hardest part is that he will be

leaving behind the wrestling program. “I believe in

these guys so much. They have worked so hard and

put in so much time, they knew what I wanted from

them each and every practice and match.”

He believes that he has been able to bring more

athletes to the weight room, and has noticed that

the athletes here are willing to put in extra time

before and after practices as well as before and

after the season to get better and be the best they

can be. He says, “That’s what I like about any ath-

lete.”

Mr. Wagner has the opportunity to be the head

football coach and to coach track and also he will

be the Spanish teacher at Pequot Lakes. This is his

third year teaching and has been teaching in

Browerville for two years. He knew that this was

going to be a very hard decision and knew it

was going to come.

He wants to leave back and wants it to continue

is that the athletes and students know that more

is always required and that you have to be will-

ing to put in more time and effort, into school

and sports to become the best you can be! He

loves to coach as well as teach and has enjoyed

his time as a Browerville Tiger very much. He

believes him leaving is kind of “bitter-sweet”,

as he stated.

On the first and second of

May, the tradition continued for the K-

6th grade having their grandparents,

and parents visiting for the day to lis-

ten to the kids sing.

The theme for this years pro-

gram was, “United We Sing”. The pro-

gram opened up with the K-6th grade

singing the national anthem. Almost

all of the songs that the kids sang were

patriotic.

Mrs. Petermeier, the K-6th

grade music teacher, has been putting

on these programs for all of the 22

yeas that she has been here. Every

year the turn out for the program is

great and there is usually a full gym.

This years turn-out for the parents and

grandparents day programs, had a

very full gym.

For the finale of the program,

all the K-6th grade sang a song that

had to do with the patriotic theme.

After the grandparents program was

done, the kids and their grandparents

went to eat lunch and visit for a little

while, and when they are done eating

they got to go home with their grand-

parents.

During the program, they

honored everyone who has and who

are currently serving for our country.

Thank you Veterans!

WARRIOR’S READY!!!!!

The Army National Guard what is it YOU asked? Well it turns out it is a “ready force to serve

and protect”, they are made up of community members also know as weekend warriors and

known to be the only branch that works for the state only. There is a lot of benefits that go

with the National Guard for example, the Guard will pay for your college up to the University

of Minnesota Standards. You can also use your whole life to make a full career out of the Ar-

my, but not everyone can join it is very unfortunate that some cant join but the country is very

proud to have those brave to serve and protect the great country. According to SSG Housey

“its an opportunity to learn a trade in the military. You can learn personal discipline and pro-

fessional but you can use what you have learned in the National Guard to apply to the civilian

work force”. Even tho there is so many good qualities every person could say for the National

Guard there are also negative sides that people say about them. SSG Housey was kind enough

to shed some light on some of the misconceptions “ labeled as a less adequate force then

most’ “not as well trained or disciplined as most of the branches”. But they have a larger bene-

fit as they bring more to the table as a force then the regular army would.

This year the track team has done

extremely well at the very few meets they

have attended. Only going to 5 different

meets and having a bunch being cancelled

or postponed has hit the team really hard!

With some teams already having 6 or 7

meets in they have a lot more going for

them. But our little team has come a long

way and are ready to keep on rolling. This

team reminds me a lot of “David and Goli-

ath” with us being David and the other

teams being Goliath! Our Team is very

young and eager to get out and run at every meet

we can.

Billy Dreher one of the senior leaders

has a lot of hopes this year of having kids advance

to and maybe even state. The best feature Billy

sees about our team is no matter what we doing

from running around the square in school, to

throwing shot-put in the gym that we all try 110%

all the time. “We hope to make conference

champs this year” Billy says. With the year almost

over Billy is looking towards helping and cheering

people on towards the section championship meet

in Moorehead on Tuesday May 29th. Billy also said

he is hoping to make it to sections maybe even to

state and try his hardest to PR (Personal

Record/Personal Best), and good luck to the other

athletes on our team !

Cody Hansmeyer one of our other Senior

leaders has his eyes set on the prize of making it

to state in either the 4X100 or in the Triple Jump.

Cody has been in track for only 3 years but has

loved it from the start. “With it being a competitive

sport but yet fun its grown on me a bunch, you can

be serious with running and jumping then being

able to talk to your friends and make new friends

in the process makes it fun on its own. ” Cody

says. “Ever since I’ve started me and a bunch of

seniors (Matthew Schettler, Jackson Polak, and

Billy Dreher) have had contests at the meets

on who can score the mosts point or get the

better placing in a race, it’s been like this

since Elementary Track and Field Day!” Co-

dy added. Cody hopes to advance to the

section meet and the state meet if he quali-

fies, then help motivate his friends to the

state meet as well!

From the senior track members we

would love to thank the coaches, teachers,

custodians, and everyone else for the sup-

port and flexibility with our schedules!

Good Luck to all tigers sports as Playoffs

approach. Good Luck and Have Fun!

NAME GRADE Due to the weather

there has been many post-

poned and cancelled games.

The girls are very eager to

play more games and are

sick of the crappy Minnesota

weather. They have battled

through rough weather and

have started out the season

on a very good note.

The Tiger girls have

played some very tough

teams including, Kimball,

Royalton and Maple Lake.

The girls first game was

against Maple Lake and it

showed coach Meissner

what they needed to work on

as the ending score was the

Tigers 2 and Maple Lake 7.

The team made some adjust-

ments and came into the

next games hitting a lot bet-

ter and coming out with the

Wins. The Royalton game

was a mentally fought hard

game with it raining for part

of it and being below 30 de-

grees. The girls pulled out a

Win with a 10-8 victory over

Royalton! A few more games

were played and the girls

got a few more wins and an-

other tough game came up

against Kimball. The Royal-

raining for part of it and being

below 30 degrees. The girls

pulled out a Win with a 10-8

victory over Royalton! A few

more games were played and

the girls got a few more wins

and another tough game came

up against Kimball. It was

close the whole game until the

6th inning the tiger’s pitchers

struggled and Kimball scored

nine runs that inning. They lost

that game with an ending

score of 18-12. The girls sit at

a record of 12-2 for right now.

The Tiger’s seniors are

Emily Lisson, Haley Pi-

otrowski, and Andi Buhl. The

girls all agreed that the season

is going very well for what

they have been able to play.

They wish they could play

more games and have more

practices on their own field.

“Our team is on the right

track, as we are getting better

every day.” said Andi Buhl.

The team has high

hopes for the playoffs and are

having a very fun season so

far! Good Luck to the Tiger

Girls on the rest of their sea-

son!

Mr. Vedbraaten is wrapping up his

first year as the Browerville Super-

intendent with the school year com-

ing to an end. He has a bachelors

degree at UND which took him four

years. Then his masters and princi-

ple license at University of Minne-

sota Mankato.

He said that he had a great first year

at Browerville and is excited to see

what next year will bring him. The

hardest thing about changing

schools was learning how each

school system ran and also his dis-

tance from his family. He is about

197 miles from his family which

would be about a three hour drive to

visit.

He is married and has 4

daughters. Three of them

plan on coming to

Browerville next year

while the oldest one gradu-

ated this year.
