Like the Loring Park fountain, spraying and changing with the wind, downtown Minneapolis features a changed and refurbished Butler Square and St. Anthony's on the Main, a newly constructed Hyatt-Regency and Pillsbury Building, in stark architectural con- trast to the old Govern- ment Center. The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome bubbles pale and white as the most recent addition to the city. 4 Opening The camera pulls back to the suburbs, pausing for a last look at the Mill City skyline, dominated by the IDS Center, as it departs, to focus on the northwest suburbs of New Hope, Crystal, and Brooklyn Park. The suburbs are typical: Rambler homes with gray roofs, pleasant living amid neighborhood parks and playgrounds, fast-food joints along busy streets, and shopping centers conveniently near- by. The School District 281 Administration Building sits in New Hope, aloof and austere, and the camera withdraws 6 Opening We have come to rest at Cooper amidst the change and confusion.

Homecoming 15 Tradition And Innovation Homecoming has always been a time of both tradition and innovation. This year's Homecoming was an especially important example. Because of the possibility of Cooper being closed, everyone wanted the celebration to be particularly special. A week-long medallion hunt was held for the first time. Prizes were awarded to the five winning students. Also, crash dance courses were given during the lunch mods in preparation for the dance. A talent show was held on Wednesday for the enjoyment of both faculty and students. Tradition survived and went hand in hand with innovation. Each day had a special slogan and “Flat'n the Flyers” but- tons were sold all week long. Coronation saw some special events. Norma Ulrich and her two daughters presented Cooper with a statue entitled “Rainbow” in memory of Mr. Lyndon Ulrich, Cooper's first principal. Chris and Dale O'Brian sang popular Beatles and Dan Fogelberg tunes. The Madrigals and Orchestra also performed. Special guest, KSTP sportscaster Robb Leer, spoke and acted as co-host along with senior Laurie Shupanitz. At the climax of the ceremony, former King and Queen, Brad Hassinger and Amy Norman, crowned Cooper's new royalty. John Sundccn and Rhonda Niesen took their places on the royal thrones. Friday night, the Hawks lost the football game to Lindbergh. The Generations played for the Homecoming Dance after- ward and rounded off the week on a happy note. Homecoming was a curious mixture of old and new. It was certainly enhanced by both. 16— Homecoming Homecoming — 17 A Special Celebration Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! What better way to describe the past winter and the tradition of Snow Daze at Cooper? The week got off to a grand start with the coronation of the Jack-of-Hearts and the Valentine Sweetheart, who together, reigned over the week's events. The Activities Council planned many new activities including Sweats Day, Winter Sports Day, and Punk Rock Day. Students were also given the chance to experience Snow Daze first-hand by participating in a game of Boot Hockey outside during the lunch mods. Kiss Day allowed guys to kiss their favorite girls, leaving girls everywhere at a loss of words and a loss of hearts. Rich Idstrom captured over 100. The week appropriately drew to a close with a party. What kind of a party? Why, a birthday party, to celebrate the 85th birthdays of Mr. and Ms. E. J. Cooper. After long hours of planning, the party was a complete success. The entire student body joined in to sing “A Bicycle Built for Two,” and to the surprise of everyone, Mr. Kemppainen made a special appearance on his own tandem bike built especially for he and his wife. Other songs like “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and, of course, “Happy Birthday” were sung to the birth- day couple. They received many birthday gifts and were presented with a giant birth- day card from all of the cheerleaders. The Madrigals and the Jazz Band helped in a special way by providing enjoyable enter- tainment for Mr. and Ms. Cooper. 18 —Snow Week FAR UPPER LEFT: The Kemppaiaeas take a ride oa a bicycle built for two.

Snow Week - 19 A New Sweetheart: an Old Tradition The tradition of Jack of Hearts took a slight turn in a new direction this year. There were only six candidates running for the title instead of the usual twelve as in years before. Did the high cost of living bring about this shortage of candidates? Certainly not! They were replaced by six young women who were given the oppor- tunity to possibly become a Valentine Sweetheart. When all the ballots were counted, it was announced that the Senior Class had chosen Tim Gulenchyn to be this year’s Jack of Hearts and Melanie Horn was to accompany him as the new Valentine Sweetheart. On Friday, February 12, many girls received a flower in their homeroom with a message attached to it saying something like “Thanks for asking me to the Jack of Hearts dance. Sue. I hope we have lots of fun ..What!? A girl asking a guy to a dance? Of course, it's all part of the old Jack of Hearts tradition that remains, yet unchanged. First off, the girls took their special valentines out for dinner, then brought them to the Cooper cafeteria for an evening of dancing to the sound of the Bel-Airs. Couples could be seen all around the dance floor in semi-formal dress, with fresh flowers next to their hearts and fresh smiles on their faces to show their approval of the new and old Jack of Hearts traditions. 20 — Jack of Hearts FR: T.

It’s the typical boy meets girl, fall in love story line. Polly Brown (Christy Montour) a rich young lady attending finishing school in Nice, France, is distressed because her father (John Elsen) thinks men are just after her for her money. She then pretends to have a boyfriend for the Carnival Ball. The school's head mistress (Wina Morten- son) finds out about her situation and decides to talk to her father about it. Polly’s father happens to be an old flame from the past, and their renewed acquain- tance sparks old feelings. They fall in love once again. Polly falls in love with Tony Brockhurst (Mike Dols), a messenger boy who thinks she is merely a secretary. What follows is a comedy of errors and mistaken identities. In the end all identities are discovered, and they both find they come from wealthy backgrounds. Highlights from the show include “Won’t You Charleston With Me?” sung and danced by Bobby (Loren Sawatsky) and Maisie (Alice Rowland); also, “The Carnival Tango,” danced by Belinda Nitzkorski and Tom Arseneau. Senior John Elsen summed up the show; “The musical was the most fantastic ex- perience I’ve ever had. The cast and crew came together to put on a marvelous show, which the drama department can be very proud of.” TOP: l %e got the ou-don’t-i%ant-to-pU -with-ine blues.

If they know about all the hard work involved, their appreciation is doubled. Cast and crews spent months preparing for this year's production of The Boyfriend. Crews included set construction, lights, make-up, publicity, costumes, and props. As opening night drew closer, rehearsals involved intense work in perfecting music, blocking, choreography and delivery. Cast members worked under Gretchcn Heath and Dan Dressen. who also conducted the orchestra. Carol Kilcullcn-Soltis worked as Direction Assistant; Lisa Gustafson and Wendy Reid were Student Directors. The musical included many complicated dance numbers. These were choreographed by Anne Marie Gillen. Anne Marie spent many hours teaching cast members steps and timing. Dance was not the only aspect that had to be fit to the time period. Mr. and Mrs. Marcell designed and sewed costumes to suit the era. Caryl Buggc. House Supervisor, arrang- ed all ticket sales with the assistance of House Manager, Ann Lish. They also ar- ranged for a staff alumni meeting and per- formance for the elderly. “Techies” worked after school and weekends, even up to the last minute, on set construction. Sets were designed by Jeff Phillips and construction was com- pleted under the direction of Sandra Kane-Laidlaw. During the final week, dedicated members of the Tech Crew stayed after school, sometimes even until midnight, to finish the set. Devoted people are involved in any pro- duction. The applause at the end of a show are for the people behind the scenes as well as for the people on the stage. Bus Stop A romantic comedy. Bus Stop, was chosen as this year’s winter play. The show, consisting of four seniors, one junior and three sophomores, brought several new performers to the Cooper stage. The scene is a roadside diner in Kansas City during the middle of a howling snowstorm. Since all roads are blocked, the travelers are forced to stay for the night. A young nightclub singer (Anne Boyle) has been carried off by a cowboy (John Elsen) with a ranch of his own, and this becomes the main romance of the story. As a counter- point to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe (Anne Crampton) and the bus driver (Frank Goodrich) develop a friend- ship of their own. A middle-aged scholar (Mike Smith) comes to terms with himself during his stay, and a young waitress at the cafe (Laura Kingsbury) gets her first taste of romance. 26— Winter Play FARTHEST LEFT: Will warns Carl of Dr. Lyman's affliction.

Winter Play — 27 Wheel of Good Fortune Stor Theater and More Story Theater, this year’s one-act competition play, displayed the versatile talents of both the actors and the director, Jeff Phillips. Phillips chose stories from both selec- tions for variety. The actors memorized nine separate pieces. Benches and hats were the main props and were inter- changed for each play. A thirty-five minute time limit made it impossible for all nine plays to be performed. Phillips devised a skillful method of selection. After a brief prologue, a wheel was spun to choose each piece. As many skits were done as time allowed, and a short epilogue concluded the show. The wheel did more than simply decide on a play. It provided Story Theater and More Story Theater with a psychological edge. The judges always knew that the ac- tors were talented enough to be prepared for any play. This realization commanded immediate respect for those involved in the show. The wheel went round and round and stopped at good fortune. Story Theater and More Story Theater brought starred performances to seniors John Elsen, Wina Mortenson, and Loren Sawatsky. The play took first place at the Region 6AA competition and went on to represent Cooper at the State Festival. 28 — Onc-Aci New Coach, New Tactics When the football players reported for the first team practice, there was a new head coach. Ert Jones-Hermerding had been hired to replace Ron Long, who resigned. The team had already been together for two weeks, at captains' prac- tice. In charge of these first two weeks were tri-captains Tom Vaidich, Gary Strating, and Mike Kludt. At the start of the season, the attitude of the players as well as the coaches was that they would have a chance at a good year, but that it would take lots of hard work. This attitude would last the whole season and sustain the team through its eventual 2-7 season. Coach Hermerding had said more than once that a team could make up for a lack of talent by having the drive and heart to go out and “go for the throat. That was not to imply that our Hawks had a shortage of talent this year. Behind the arm of Chris Fern, the running of Rod Thyr and Jim Goodrich, and the blocking of Mike Kludt, Steve Pukal, and Tom Vaidich, the offensive unit was to see many fine moments. The season would find Dave Steinbring breaking a school record for pass receptions and also see Jeff Och at his finest on the receiving end of passes. On the other side of the line are the defensive players. There were tacklers who were con- sistently in double figures for a game, among them Paul Rosch, Matt Crum, and Randy Scharpen. Although their record doesn’t show it, the football team achieved many things: they became a close-knit team, and their discipline had been commented on by many of the team's fans. This discipline had been instilled by not only Coach Hermerding, but also his assistants. Coach Terry Strecker, Coach John Lloyd, and Coach Jeff Smith. Along with the Varsity team was the Junior Varsity team, coached by Terry Strecker and Jeff Smith, and the Sophomore team coached by Earl Koff- man, and Matt Wanabo. The football team showed what team- work was this year by sticking together through the season. They won two games, defeating the Robins and also Eisenhower in the final games of the season.

Football — 35 A Near Miss to State Tourney The boys' soccer team had a very in- teresting season, with more than their share of ups and downs. They started the season strongly, beating their rival Arm- strong before school started this fall. They also went on to many other outstanding victories. Then in mid-season they fell into a slump which cost them a few games, but they pulled themselves out and finished the season w ith an overall record that was very impressive. The team worked very hard at their sport, practicing every night that they didn't have a game, and it showed in their performance, when they came one game away from the State playoff. One thing that made the team strong is that they were all striving for the same goals, such as team unity, strength, and a good season. As Coach Randy Moselle said, “We have some of the most talented people I've ever seen on one team. Senior Jim Pray stated, “We have a team with a lot of different personalities who have blended togehter to form one team.” Senior goalie Tom Bakritgcs added that the team was “very close.” The team was led by tri- captains Charlie Reid, Todd Zoschke and Mike Kottke.

The other captains were seniors Sheryl and Sheri Gadtke. When asked about the season Sheryl said. “The team worked hard, and put a lot of time and effort into their play ing. Bill Raymond, coach of the Varsity team, commented, “The season was sur- prisingly successful, considering the number of inexperienced Varsity play ers. The tennis team had two special members this year, Petra Heid and Beatrice Grob, who were foreign exchange students from Germany. They were part of the Junior Varsity team, which was coached by Jackie Swcggart. The team practiced for about two hours after school every day. They worked on their weaknesses and things they had trouble with. They were challenging and enabled them to improve on their game a great deal. One of the Varsity players, Kirsten Montgomery, who was a junior, ended her season with a 10-5 record and went on to do very well in Regions. I Row I: C. Vogelgesang, K. Montgomery, S. Gadtke, S.

Warm up exercises, laps around the track, running up and down hills, and a six to twelve mile run every day sum up the cross country practices. Many people wonder why they did it. According to the team members, it was fun. Every one of the guys was enjoying himself. Well — most of the time. Sure, it was a lot of work, but the general opinion was that it was well worth it to be in ex- cellent shape and to be doing something very positive. “They're hard workers and a very tightly knit group,” said Coach Steve Pitmon of his team. After losing three of their top five run- ners from last year, the team had to work to find replacements. “The team was made up mostly of seniors, but we had some strong sophomores and juniors that gained lots of experience and helped out a lot,” said co-captain Todd Vandervort. Jeff Kiffmayer and Mike Voight, both sophomores, ran in many of the varsity meets this year and helped the team con- siderably. Co-captain Kevin Lee added, “We were definitely in a rebuilding year, but we were still competitive.” Expectations were to have a 5-3 record, which was almost achieved. The boys finished their season with a record of 4-4. The season ended with six of the boys run- ning at Rcgionals.

One of the top runners on the team was Wendy Knight, who won all her con- ference meets except one. Her season was fairly good. She got her best time during the first half of the season, but she was handicapped somewhat later in the season because of a pulled muscle. When asked about the team’s performance Wendy remarked, “It was a pretty good season because we had a lot of good sophomores. Senior captain Kim Peters observed that “our strategy was to concentrate during the whole run. It seemed to work. The team practices included running from four to eight miles every day.

During the season, the boys swim hard all week long; and when the meet comes on Friday, they are just too worn out to beat another team. They don't let this bother them, because although they may have a poor record dur- ing the season, they consistently come out on top at regions, beating the same teams whom they lost to during regular dual meets. That is how Coach Al Goodwin prepares his team for the stiff competition at the state meet. He stated, “We work and work during the season, improving our times. Then we take it easy the week before the state.” The boys swim team was led by tri- captains Dave Fisk, Tom Helseth and Doug Tvedt. They helped the team along to its victories and at regions. The team was a close-knit group, who helped each other and encouraged each other throughout the season. As tri-captain Dave Fisk stated, “We're a team out of the water as well. ROW : J. Hoyt� , G.

They set many goals: a strong team, a good record for the season, and a strong showing at the regional meet, and they were successful in reaching many of them. The divers also helped contribute to the team's success. Juniors Amy Knox, Sue Wavinak, Leslie Campeau, and sophomore Linda Pitmon were three divers who were essential in contributing to the team's vic- tories. The divers practiced every night after school at Plymouth Junior High. The swim team worked hard during the season, practicing four nights a week after school and from six a.m. to seven a.m. two mornings a week. They also followed a strenuous weightlifting program Monday and Wednesday nights. All their hard work paid off. As Coach Al Goodwin stated. “We've got a group of really top kids, and � hat made our team strong is the Hide range of abilities and personalities. The team was led by tri-captains Heidi Raasch, Lynne Anderson, and Jenny Hcdbcrg. Jenny described the unity of the team as “everyone striving for the same goals. Row I: L Pitmon. A. Posthumus. M.

Girls Swimming 49 50 — Volleyball Small, but Tough Volleyball Varsity The volleyball team was a small one this year, both in height and in number. “We didn't have a tall team said Coach Long. “We had one of the shortest teams in the conference. The girls really had to hustle and play a strong defense.' With only ten members on the varsity team, there was little room for sickness or injury, but of these ten players, five of the girls played varsity last year. As a result, the team had lots of experience from which to work. The girls were wild with spirit. “We had lots of spirit and togetherness, said co- captain Patty Bolduc. The long practices paid off with all the fun they had. “We didn't have much height, but we didn't let that get us down, concluded Bolduc. “We didn’t give up easily. We tried to put our best into each game, stated co- captain Anne Richtor. The girls wanted to have a good season and fought hard to succeed. The team finished second in the con- ference. Losing only three games, the team did better than they had anticipated. FROST ROW: L ElUngsworth. L Schupamitz. P Bolduc. J. Hoeffer. D. has sera. C. Jensen. BACK ROW: Mgr. L Rausch. A Richter. P.

They started the season with a vast lack of experience, because they only had two returning members on the team. But they overcame this inexperience and ended the season with a record of 7-5-0. Coach Larry Herboldt attributed the team's success to the emphasis placed on skating, passing drills, puck handling drills and conditioning. “Skating and condition- ing are extremely important, and there is no team in the l.ake North C onference that can claim superiority in these areas. Coach Herboldt also said that these drills “enabled us to win or stay close during most of our games. The team was led by co-captains Jim Danielson and Dave Pribnow. The Cooper junior varsity team was coached by Gary Stafano and had an outstanding record of 10-5-0. ROW I: G. Jossart, J. Danielson, P. orman. B. Lloyd, E. Umaniec, J. Katchmark. J. Bourbonais, T.

Hockey - 57 The Lone Gymnast Tumbles on It was a good season for sophomore Chris Olson, who was the only Cooper gymnast on the Cooper-Armstrong gym- nastics team. But Chris said he was not discouraged, and never thought of quitting the team. “It was kind of weird being the only person from Cooper, but I got used to it quickly,” he commented. Getting along with the other members of the team was not a problem, although the issue of the school closing created some tension. Chris' main event was the high bar, although he performed all-around this season, which was an accomplishment for him. The team also had a great season. They were undefeated, and captured the State Title. � v. ABOVE: Chris gets a good tuck for a front flip. TOP RIGHT: Chris poses in his gymnastic's attire.

These sports, organized by Mr. Stcnsrud and Mr. Lloyd, were competitive sports located within the school boundaries. Two intramural sports that Cooper students participated in were volleyball and basketball. Tournaments were held in the gym during lunch mods. As a special activity during Snow Week, boot-hockey was enjoyed by many. Evidence of another intramural sport was found on the practice fields after school this fall. Although it was all new to most of the girls on the girls’ Soccer team, their inexperience didn’t show through. Because the team was new to the sport, they were not considered part of the Lake North Conference. This fact did not daunt their enthusiasm, as was evident with their many victories. The team was formed with the help of junior Lynn Dols. who started a petition in the fall, which made a request for a Girls’ Soccer Team. One of the team's most valuable players was goalie Jill Peterson. Jill saved many a shot from reaching the net. Because she was the only one with some goal-tending experience, she was more or less nominated for the team’s all-time goalie. Another leading player was found in Lisa Skarolid. who led the team in goals. The team was coached by Mary Jost. Much credit goes to her because of her hard work and the inspiration she gave the team. There were many skeptics when word spread of the possibility of a girls soccer team, but the team proved their dedication and ability throughout the season, which left everyone with the vision of even a bet- ter team next year.

Feature — 59 New Season Brings New Coach When the Cooper gymnastic team reported for captains' practice late in the fall, they discovered that the new season had also brought a new coach. Joe Quinn, who has had ten years experience coaching gymnastics, became the new head coach of the Cooper team. Halfway through the season. Coach Quinn said that this team “was the best team I’ve e er coached; it has a lot of potential. I'd be very surprised if we didn't place among the top ten in State.” Assistant coach Dave Madison added, “This is the best team Cooper has ever had.” The team worked hard throughout the season. Practices which lasted until seven o’clock at night were not uncommon. Gymnasts also gave up time during the winter break to come to school and work out. The hard work and long practices paid off by bringing the team closer together. Co-captain Jane Much stated, “We ha e a close team — we all pull for each other.” Co-captain Kim Ortloff added, “Our team works well together; we’re all working for the same goals. And we ha e fun while do- ing it.” The team had few returning members, due to the loss of so many graduating seniors. There were only three seniors on the team, and seven returning juniors. Sophomores comprised the rest of the team with nine new members. Two sophomores, Karen Atkinson and Shelley Habel. con- tributed greatly to the team’s success, as both had previous experience in gym- nastics clubs. AU-aroundcr Amy Knox also consistently scored high on all four events, as did Jane Huch. Kim Ortloff also did an outstanding job on the uneven bars and vault. The team started the season by beating Park Center, and then went on to beat Armstrong and Robbinsdale to take the District 281 title The team took first place at the Fairbault Invitational with a score of 132.65. They went on to sub-regionals and took third place with a record- breaking score of 135.75. They were the only girls’ gymnastics in the history of District 281 to advance to the Regional Meet, where they placed third. At the end of the season, the team was rated ninth in the state..

Keeping with the seventeen year old Cooper tradition, the team sent junior Brad Roles, wrestling at one hundred and thirty-eight pounds, to the state meet. Roles became the sixtieth member from Cooper to participate. An interesting aspect of the season was that there was only one returning senior from last year's varsity team. The senior, Dennis Trettel, was the team's honorary captain. The other team captain was senior Tom Bakritges. Because they only had one returning senior, the team lacked the ex- perience needed to win. By wrestling one to four matches a week, the team gained experience and improved their skills. Some skillful juniors to watch next season are Roles, Schaun Waste, Dave Briggs, and Rich Stewart. The team also included up and coming sophomore wrestlers Mark Beltz, Scott Buchanan, Paul Lentz, and Garret Town. Town, wrestling at heavyweight, was described by Coach Sohn as “one of the best big kids I’ve ever had wrestle.” Mr. Sohn summarized the season and his young team this way, “They've been a good team but should have been better.” ABOVE: The referee moves to get a closer view of the action during a Cooper-Osseo dual.

Wrestling — 63 Confidence Brings Victory No longer is the Cooper basketball team in the cellar of the Lake North Con- ference. They have emerged as a winning team from a history of losing seasons. The last few seasons have held minimal vic- tories. The 1982 team decided to break this pattern and become winners. Coach Jim Dolan attributes their suc- cess to the fact that three of this year’s starters, Tim Bunnell, Jeff Och, and Keith Nelson, had experience in playing varsity ball. Another factor to their success was the strong determination of the players. Many of them attended basketball camps or worked out regularly in the gym last summer. The team set a goal to be suc- cessful, and worked hard to obtain this goal. Practices were somewhat different than they had been in the past. Scrimmaging became a very common and very impor- tant part of each practice. “We practiced more game type situations so that we were ready for them in our games, said co- captain Rich Idstrom. The team had more confidence to work the ball around, thus, they played better basketball. Before each game the team members met at someone’s house to psyche up for the game. They discussed their game plan and set goals which they felt were reasonable. This seemed to help the team play as a unit by working together before each game. The team was happy to see more fans this year. “It really helps to know that we have the support of our friends and families, said co-captain Keith Nelson. The Lake North Conference as a whole did not have great height. The height of centers, Mark Holter and Gary Olson, were definite assets to the team. The great determination of this team brought them out of a slump into a season that will be remembered by many. 64 — Boys Basketball WE Varsity THE) 43 Eisenhower 41 54 Park Center 6X 56 Lindbergh 34 46 Way ata 66 40 Osseo 43 32 Robbinsdalc 59 52 Iridlcy 45 39 Armstrong 60 58 Lindbergh 70 71 Eisenhower 60 53 Robbinsdale 65 34 Armstrong 41 43 Kennedy 47 57 Ossco 51 53 Wayzata 71 61 Park Center 53 BACK ROW: S.

With a new coach and a short team in a rather tall conference, most teams would have been discouraged; but the Hawks did not give up. Connie Boyum was the new coach — and new she was; this was her first ex- perience coaching varsity ball. Her duties were doubled mid-season when the JV coach resigned. With the help of sophomore coach Annette Ralph. Boyum managed to coach both teams. Practices were different this year. Boyum had much more discipline than previous coaches, and stressed fundamentals heavily. “We did a lot more running this year, which I think helped us to overcome our problem of being a short team, said co-captain Cheryl Jensen. The girls had to rely on their great speed when matched up with considerably taller teams. “Other teams hate complimented on our quickness, especially our fast break, staled co-captain Jean Hoefer. The girls liked to keep moving, giving the fans lots of action. The girls were relatively balanced in scoring. There was no one person who dominated scoring. The girls focused on playing as a team rather than as individuals. Both captains felt they had a good season. 68 Girls Basketball FRONT: J. Peterson. C. Jensen, L Skarolid. S. (,ad the. L Johnson.

They're all winter activities in which Cooper students participated for fun. With record snowfall, this winter, unlike many others in the past, had plenty of snow for such outdoor recreation. In addition to being in five or six classes a day, a part-time job, or other extra- curricular commitments. Cooper students managed to spend some of their free winter hours in the great outdoors. Even with a wind-chill of forty or more below, students the Snow still slid at Theodore Wirth Park, skated at one of the many suburban ice rinks, or skied downhill at Wild Mountain. The students found Friday nights to be a good night to grab their hats, scarves and sleds and set out for the steep hills and icy paths that provide the well-known setting. Snowmobiling was usually an all-day pro- ject so Saturday was a good day to find students riding over well-traveled routes. As far as relieving everyday pressures goes, a snowball fight was just the thing. 72 — Feature TOP: Sliding at Theodore Wirth Park are Loren Sawatsky, Rhee Hal berg, Monica Kolflat.

Due to the lack of snow in previous seasons, the team needed more experience. They also needed to build up their skills and abilities, and make a stronger team for next year. Though building up skills was their main goal, they still performed fairly well at meets. Captain Bob Wroblcski com- mented, “We had some dynamite skiers, with much previous experience. I think we did well in the meets and in regions. ’ Other top skiers along with Bob Wroblcski were captains Tom Ewer. Jim Miller, and Cheryl Hcmken; co-captain Julie Martin, and Mark Kovach, Steve Lindell, and Barb Sorensen. The coaches of the team were Wally Nordstrom, Jeff VanEssen, and Mark Karner. The latter two were former Cooper skiers. Practices were held at Birch Park, where they did calisthcntics, along with practicing for races. Highland Hills was the location of the meets. The top ten skiers of each team (boys and girls) made up the varsity team, and the remaining team members com- prised the Junior Varsity. Both teams have great potential accord- ing to Junior Sue Shcrrard, who said, “We have some really good skiers, and I think they have the ability to go far. The rest of us, well, we’re working really hard.” The strategy for the meets consisted of having total confidence while waiting for the start and all the way down the slope, and going as fast as possible.

Adding to this was the loss of several varsity skiers because of graduation. With the help of head coach Bob O'Hara, and assistant coach Norm Gartner, and other team members, however, the team finished well. Unable to defeat only a few tough op- posing teams, the team finished the season in the middle of the Lake Conference. The girls record was 5-3, and the boys was 2-3. The boys team was headed by Varsity skiers Kevin Lee, Todd Vandervort, Greg Locke, Jim Pray, Mark Smith, and Kevin Eastlund. Although there were only two seniors, “There is definite potential in the girls team, with man) strong juniors and sophomores, according to Coach O'Hara. A few of the top girl skiers were Tracy Locke, Theresa Enck, Sheila Nelson, Cin- dy Eleagle, Laura Hanauska. and Wendy Knight. After a hard workout, which consisted of working on technique and conditioning. Norm Gartner commented. “We have some superstar juniors and sophomores. The home meets were held at Baker Park Reserve in Hamel. They consisted of a 10 kilometer race for the boys, and a 5 kilometer race for the girls. The fact that this year’s team is the largest so far is an encouragement for Coach O'Hara, who says his goal is to in- troduce a lifetime sport, and also have maximum participation.

Cross Country Skiing — 77 Lockers Express Personality The one thing that every Cooper student has in common is that each student is assigned an empty locker at the beginning of the year. The purpose of the lockers is to allow students to have a place to store their coats and books. But this is where the stu- dent starts to be categorized into one of three classes. Their class is determined by what they do with their locker. The first two groups are opposites. One is the organized class in which the students keep their lockers organized and tidy, while the other class is the unorganized class. This group consists of students who kept the lockers in an unruly mess, and who always seem to be gone on locker clean-out day. The third and final class is the one of creative students who decide to show their creative abilities by decorating their lockers with pictures of celebrities and friends. They also post up cartoons, noteboards and magnets. Some students even go as far as to decorate the exteriors for the holidays. No matter how you have your locker, you can be sure it is truly an expression of your personality. ABOVE: Maria Koshiol giving a free look at her locker decorations.

The revolution was not fought with guns or tanks but by a group of dedicated and hard-working students. The Talons’ battles were lead by Com- mander and Adviser Vern Hollister, Editor-in-Chief Connie Reimer, and Managing Editor Beverly Doege. The editors started the revolution in late August while attending yearbook seminars. There, they decided to use a new style of layout, to reorganize the sports, and came up with the theme, “A close up view. When school started, the editors quickly informed the staff of their plans. They also informed the rookie staffers of their duties and trained them in the maneuvers of cropping pictures and writing copy. The staff was then let loose to fight the battle of the deadline. Numerous inter- views and hours of hard work contributed to the victory over the deadline. When asked why they had decided to change parts of the book. Managing Editor Beverly Doege simply stated. “Times are changing, and the yearbook must also. 82 — Talons FR: C. F! eagle. C. Reimer, A. toAlters, J. S'orby SR: M. Sogowski, A. Haggstrom, D. Emms, J.

Hawk's Quill — 85 The Three Bands When people think of the band, they think of one big group of students play- ing music. This is not the case at Cooper, for the band is divided into three bands which are Symphonic W'ind Ensemble, Concert Band, and Concert W ind Ensemble. All of the bands fall under the direction of either Mr. Spangler or Mr. Kloos. The Cooper band members not only attend band class, but many of them also participate in Pep Band. Marching Band and Jazz Ensemble. The bands also held fundraisers to help pay for their transportation cost and to fund their annual band trip to Madden's in northern Minnesota. They also per- formed winter and spring concerts to help pay for new music and equipment. The Symphonic Band also played at the District 281 Invitational Concert held at Cooper in early December. Most of the band members have been participating in band since junior high. When asked how she felt about her years in band, senior Sharon Suhr stated, “Band had its ups and downs, but all in all I really enjoyed it.“ ABOVE: Lisa Johnson prepares for the District 281 Invitational.

The or- chestra is joined twice weekly in rehearsal with 20-25 wind and percussion players. The full orchestra of strings, winds, and percussion performed at three major events this year: the Homecoming corona- tion, the Winter Concert, and the Spring Concert. In addition, many of the players participated in the annual Choral and Or- chestra Oratorio Concert April 1st. The orchestra prides itself in playing a wide variety of music ranging from pop and country to the great music of serious composers. Gloria Nygaard commented, “Some people think that classical music is dumb and boring. That is only because they don't really understand it. DuWayne Kloos, the orchestra director, expressed that, “This year's group was a really super group of kids, and a lot of fun to work with. ABOVE FR: D. Hanna, H . Knight, G. yggard, V. Hanna, B.

The Madrigals are a small, vocal perfor- ming group. According to Mr. Kloos, Madrigal director, “Madrigals is a select, special group where the students wear for- mal costumes and sing songs of a more polished nature. They practiced on their own time, dur- ing second period, two days a week. When concert time approached, they picked up their pace, practicing four days a week to achieve a sound of perfection. Their voices harmonized at the Winter and Spring Concerts, and during the Homecoming coronation ceremony. The Madrigals sang for the community at the Courage Center, Brookdale, Ridgedale, and various chur- ches. Performing in concerts on the choir trip also highlighted their year. “In Madrigals you need to show your maturity and you need a love for the group and the music, emphasized Loren Sawatsky. The Madrigal voices include eight female and seven male voices. The fact that they do have an odd number this year left them wondering where in the halls of Cooper was their fourth tenor.

In addition to their winter concert on Dec. 15 and the spring concert on.May 20, the Concert Choir participated in the large group choir contest and the all-district choir Festival held at Robbinsdale on April I, where they sang Haydn’s “TeDeum” and R. Vaughan William’s “Dona Nobis Pacem.” One highlight of the Concert Choir’s year was the annual choir trip on May 2 and 3. They sold Fisher nuts to raise money for the trip. St. Olaf College hosted them and many other high school choirs to sing under the direction of Knut Nystedt and as individual choirs. The Varsity Choir performed at both of the concerts and in the Choir Festival. Director, Richard Kloos said “The Varsity Choir has got a good sound and is an energetic group.” New opportunities opened up for choir students this year. Fifteen guys formed the Barbershoppers, singing traditional Barbershop songs. The Women’s F.nscmble, consisting of twelve singers, sang songs of a more romantic style than the full group did. The Choir Council worked hard to benefit the entire group. They sponsored the alumni reception after the winter concert, and organized the fund raisers.

From out of the pages of Vogue, Glamour and Seventeen come the styles and trends of the fashionable Cooper students. You could usually spot the more fashionable, for they are the students who never wear the same clothes during a semester. To be considered one of the fashion elite they had to have the following items in their wardrobe: At least one pair of Lee jeans, lacy blouses, oxford shirts, Shetland sweaters, knickers, baggies, designer jeans, blazers, pleated skirts, sweat shirts from favorite colleges and universities, Izod shirts, down vest, and, of course, everyone's favorite, the Cooper let- ter jacket. Not just having the proper clothing made a person fashionable, they must also have had the correct accessories, such as the correct shoes to wear, which include cowboy boots, loafers, clogs and tennis shoes. They must also have had the latest in hair ornaments, which consisted of bar- rettes woven with ribbon, bandanas for the punk look, and headbands in an array of colors. Tasteful jewelry was also required in order to be fashionable, but they must also have had in their jewelry collection the prized and cherished class ring. But others do not have to worry that they were not in style, for just going to Cooper is quite the fashionable thing to do. ABOVE: A more com- fortable aspect of fashion.

Cooper students made the news by participating in the World's Largest Marching Band and earning their place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The event was held on October twelfth in Minneapolis under the direction of “Dr. Ben,” University of Minnesota band director. The bands rehearsed at Peavey Plaza, had a picnic sponsored by Pillsbury, and paraded down Marquette Avenue, back to Peavey Plaza where all the assembled bands gave a concert that evening. Meredith Wilson directed “76 Trombones” as part of the festivities. Cooper was the only district 281 school to participate in the event. Junior, Cindy Fleagle, commented, “It was exciting, and I was honored to be a part of something as big as the World’s Largest Marching Band.” Cooper’s Marching Band held practice three mornings a week during football season at 6:30. These practices included learning new formations and music for every game. The final game of the season is tradi- tionally the senior show. The senior band members directed the songs and made up all the formations. The motif for the half- time was movie themes. The band was directed by drum major, Ken Gellerman, and drum majorette, Michelle Barton. They led the band onto the field and directed the pre-game.

Marching Band —95 Taking Time to Dazzle the Football, hockey, basketball, and soccer games were dazzled by Coopcrctte perfor- mances thoughout the year. They perform- ed approximately ten different dances dur- ing halftime shows and for pcpfest enter- tainment. The community watched the Cooperettc routines in over ten parades at local cities. The Cooperettcs received first place in the Brooklyn Center parade. The twenty-two member dance line practiced at 6:30 a m. during the summer and throughout the school year. Even with all those practices, tri-captain Karen Hirte stated, “It takes a lot of patience to learn dances in a short amount of time, but it’s worth it when we’re performing.” Working together in making up their routines became the secret of their success. The majority of them had to agree on the type of costume. Then they cither pur- Crowd chased or sewed them. Funds from the Mistletoe and Jack-of-Hearts dances, sell- ing jackets, and working at Crystal Frolics contributed money for costs. The Coopcrctte organization ‘‘borrowed time” from each individual, but in this they agreed: “Yes,” it was worth it. Julie Groschen and Laurie Dec said. “The hours aren’t good, hut the pay is great!” ABOVE: A circle offriends ABOVE RIGHT: Ta-da CLOCKWISE: L Ellington, L l.a Fare. M. Brown, L Swirtz, M. Roberts, K.

Cheers reached the ears of the fans and players at all football and soc- cer games and several volleyball games as well. Their enthusiasm began during the summer at 6:30 practices three mornings a week. The fall cheerleaders’ spirit became evi- dent with their participation in every pep fest. They also attended the soccer and football banquets as the final highlights of their season. “Our fall squad was a success. The girls worked well together and formed many lasting friendships stated Gwen Baniecke, co-captain. Everyone at school saw the good-luckers that the team players wore on game days. However, most students never realized the time and effort a dedicated cheerleader put in on the good-luck badges. “Though we spent many long, hard hours making good-luckers, we enjoyed it and felt the ex- tra effort paid off, agreed Lisa Naylor and Ramona Harmsen. Another little known activity of the fall squad was giving the football and soccer players Oreo, Keebler, or homemade cookies after their games. ABOV E: Ft. row: L Saylor. K. Tiefenthaler, M.

In the cafeteria the Flaggies could be found working on their new routines three times a week throughout the summer and during the school year. “I think it's great how all of us work together to create new twirls which bring ariety to our routines, said Capt. Jean Etherington. The Flaggies proudly displayed their let- tered flags at home football, hockey and basketball games, along with pepfests which are the annual events at which they perform. This year they also twirled at the Homecoming soccer game and twirled fire at a halftime show. Their special activities this year include participating at the University of Min- nesota Band Day and in the World’s Largest Marching Band for the Guinness Book of Records in October. They also held several fund raisers to help purchase their new uniforms. They have a new look, swaying from the previous traditional look of the Flaggies. BR: K. Gustafson, J. Etherington. T.

The addition was two girls added to the squad. When asked why the addition, Brenda Malerich said, “It allows us time for other events.” The Pom-Pon girls cheer for a variety of fall and winter sports. Besides their cheer- ing the girls also sold buttons and flowers to raise funds for new uniforms. They also cheered at pepfests and made good luckers for team members before their athletic events. When asked what their year as Pom-Pon girls meant to them. Julie Schuetz and Amy Vetruba said “It made our senior year special and memorable.” Pom-Pons — 99 FR.- M. Angeli. B. Gronlund. SR: B.

Having to cheer for only one team gave the cheerleaders more time for their particular sport. The separate squads cheered basket- ball, hockey and wrestling. The cheerleaders did a lot of extra things this year. They sold cowboy hats and pizzas to raise money for their uniforms. They also made signs and goodluckers to show their support for the players. The B-squad cheerleaders cheered all the sports to gain experience. If they liked to cheer a particular sport they could try out for it in the spring. All of the cheerleaders tried out last spr- ing. They were judged by teachers, coaches, and last year’s winter squad captains. The cheerleaders agree that the reason they cheer is to be involved and to support the teams. “Cheering is fun because it get’s you involved and lets you see the ac- complishments of your classmates close- up,” commented Chris Trimbo.

Winter Cheering— 101 Mascots Represent Hawk Power The Cooper Mascots began their prac- tice last spring so that they could portray the “Hawk” the best they could. Before school let out last year they had already held a raffle. It was a success and got them off to a good start. At Christmas time they sold ornaments as another fund raiser. During the fall season the Mascots were seen in pairs at football and soccer games. There were many times when it got cold out on the field. Their orange tights did not help much in keeping them warm, but they were glad their Hawk suits arc made of thick imported velvet. Hockey, basketball, and wrestling are the sports events they attended this winter. Pep fests were a big part all year in their task of encouraging avid enthusiasm in the fans. The uniqueness of this year's squad is shown by Captain Barb Peters statement: “Having five sophomores on a squad of six Mascots made this a very interesting year.” FRONT ROW: A. Dubbin, C. Carlson.

The Guidons are a group designed to promote school spirit. They practiced last summer and three school mornings a week, working hard to make up their routines. They performed at all home football games and were escorts at Homecoming coronation. Band Day at the University of Minnesota was a major event of the Guidons' year. When asked about this year, co-captain Karla Brock replied. “We’ve had a good year because the girls were all willing to practice and participate.” This year’s eight-member squad con- sisted of four seniors, one junior, and three sophomores. “Our four new girls on the squad have done a good job considering they haven't had any experience at twirling a flag before,” stated co-captain Sharon Suhr when asked about these statistics. Guidons — 103 What to Do? The Sophomore Class Cabinet was held back this year from its usual duties because of the School Board's decision to close one of the three senior high schools in the district. The cabinet normally is in charge of choosing school class rings from different jewelry companies. Because they didn’t know if Cooper would close or not, they were forced to hold up on offering class rings for sale “This business with the School Board is really keeping us from do- ing what we're supposed to be doing, commented adviser Gerald Fraser. “Even though we've been held-up with class rings sales, we still plan on doing other ac- tivities, commented Jim Peppc. Cary a Kant. Jackie Marchand, Tim Cole. Jim Peppe Cooper’s Grandfather Walk through the halls of Cooper Sr. High and think to yourself this special building must have been built because of a special person. That special person is E. J. Cooper. E. J. Cooper served district 281 as superintendent from 1930-1965. During the time he served, he built up the district from one school with 1,100 students and 34 teachers, to 22 schools with 22,000 students and 900 teachers. Mr. Cooper developed programs for the handicapped and gifted students. A sports enthusiast, E. J. got people to donate money for different athletic teams. When Mr. Cooper retired in 1965, the School Board honored him by naming the new high school in the district, E. J. Cooper Sr. High School. Though Mr. Cooper is no longer active in the district, he is still very much a part of Cooper's activities. He regularly attends all extra-curricular activities. “Being nith the kids keeps me young, commented Mr. Cooper. “I look at all the students at Cooper as my grandkids.” Mr. Cooper is truly Cooper's grandfather. On February 12, 1982, students honored Mr. Cooper at an All-school pepfest to help celebrate his 85th birthday.

Who was responsible for this question being repeated time and time again? The Junior Class Cabinet. This adventurous group has undertaken the task of planning the prom. As a fundraiser they came up with something new and exciting. Computer Dating. The students filled out question- naires concerning their feelings on certain subjects. The results were sent to a com- puter where they were matched with the ten people most like them. This computer dating was used to help raise money and promote the Prom. The leader of the group was Margo Lewis who acted as President. Helping her out was Vice-President Ron Heroux; Secretary, Paul Hamel, and Treasurer Todd Johnson. Though the group planning this major event was small in number, all the Juniors and Seniors had a chance to share in the fun. Who’s Your Date? A New Dimension The Senior Class Cabinet stepped out of their traditional role as the planners of the reunions and added a new dimension. The officers, Gwen Baniecke, president; Laurie Schupanitz, vice-president; Terri Slaughter, treasurer; Mike Dols, secretary; came up with the idea of a Senior Day. This special day was funded by a Barn Dance held March 5. The pro- ceeds from this dance also went towards the graduation ceremony. Although the Cabinet kept busy with their new-found responsibilities, their real work is in the years to come with the reu- nions. This challenge was met by Gwen’s optimistic remark, “We’re all looking for- ward to planning our reunions. It will be an extension of high school.” ABOVE: Terri Slaughter concentrates on the details.

They are a group of students whose purpose is to help the foreign students become adjusted to life at Cooper, and life in America. The club went to different attractions in the Twin Cities, including a trip to the state capital. They also went to movies and had several parties. The foreign exchange students aren’t the only ones who learn things in World Citizens Club. The club gives the kids from Cooper a chance to see what life and schools are like in several other countries. The foreign students each tell about their country and bring pictures and other souvenirs from home. Other duties performed by the World Citizens Club are helping to plan activities during Homecoming and to plan several activities during Black History Month. “One purpose of the World Citizens Club is to find the foreign exchange students things to do outside of school. We’re here to show the foreign students that there is life outside of Cooper,” commented adviser Martha Reckdahl. MIDDLE LEFT: Yoko enjoys activities of the meeting.

They were here because of the Interna- tional Foreign Exchange Student program. This program brings students from coun- tries in different parts of the world to schools in other countries. The students stay with a family to learn everything about that country’s way of life. This year Cooper hosted students from Germany, Denmark, Turkey, Mexico, Switzerland, and Japan. Most of the students know some English, but very little. They learn most of their English from the families they live with. Learning the language isn't the hardest part about living in a foreign country. Becoming adjusted to the different lifestyle of that country is the hardest thing. “Learning to adapt to a whole new way of life and cut yourself from your family and country is a very difficult thing to do,” commented Francine Lusser.

Foreign Students — 109 A Different Type of Education Cooper has three different Cooperative Education groups to meet the needs of students. The groups use a combined effort between business and school to train students for jobs in specific interest areas. The programs arc all based on three areas: on the job experience, a work related class, and a club. DEC A (Distributive Education Clubs of America) is the club part of Distributive Education, a program of instruction in marketing and distribution. Throughout the year they ran the school store, spon- sored Casino Night, and sold carnations during Homecoming. They also sponsored a Senior Citizens Day showing of The Boy Friend for several hundred senior citizens in our area, held a program at three elementary schools for the prevention of shoplifting, and took a trip to New York City. M.O.E.A. (Minnesota Office Education Association) including the Cooper Office Education Club focuses on office and business related jobs. They participated in local competitions in office skill areas which could lead to state competition in St. Paul and the Nationals in Nashville, Ten- nessee. Many of their plans were made at breakfast meetings. The Office Education students sold Happenings books as a fundraiser. H.E.A.R.T. (Home Economics and Related Training) relates to jobs such as food service, child care, floral design, and fashion. They attended two state con- ferences, including many job related skill competitions. Students in this club served the community by collecting canned goods to be distributed at Thanksgiving time. The group often went out to breakfast together. ABOVE: DECA members share work experiences. UPPER RIGHT: Dave dispenses Pepsi at the DECA operated store.

Work Clubs — 111 112— Feature Cooper Gets Physical A craze is running rampant throughout America. That craze is for physical fitness and health. Like the rest of the nation. Cooper students have also tumbled into the physical fitness habit. Traditionally the way high school students stayed in shape was by par- ticipating on athletic teams. Most students felt a great relief when their sophomore semester of Phy Ed. was over. But in the recent physical era, students have started to take aerobic class, joined health clubs, jogged, dieted, and begun exercise pro- grams. Students have even started to take Phy Ed. classes as electives. Besides their exercising habits, students' eating habits have also changed. More health foods, like granola, yogurt, and fruit have become popular during lunch mods, though milk shakes and cookies still could be spotted. Any good health nut knows that they still need that quick energy for those strenuous exercise sessions. Students are so physically fit that they even wear their exercise outfits to school. Sweat shirts and pants and bandanas are oftentimes spotted in the hallway. The health and fitness craze seems to be one that hopefully will last long or last long enough for students to get into shape for the next up and coming craze.

Feature— 113 Speaking With Style Desire to improve in speaking skills through performance is the motivation behind students in Declamation. Through a series of competitions, they not only ac- quire those skills but also gain self con- fidence, improved listening skills, learn to appreciate literature and make friends. The eleven competition divisions are divid- ed into two categories: interpretation and forensics. Declam students practiced on an open period or after school with one of the coaches. The coaches were Gretchen Heath, Jeff Phillips, Vern Hollister, Caryl Bugge, and Carol Kilcullen-Soltis. Kim ABOVF. RIGHT: Gregg Anderson responds to ap- plause before he begins his Serious Prose.

At some of the tournaments there were over 800 kids participating in speech. Some of the kids can't go to Saturday tournaments so they join the rest at the sub-regionals. Those who did well there went on to Regional competition, and then the top two in each category advance to State competition. A favorite event of the season was the all-district trip to Duluth on February 20 for competition. FT. ROW: A. Rice, A. Rowland. . Hume. L Sawatsky, H. Hesse. C. Montour. ROW 2: T.Juneau, N.

The Student Council is an important way of bringing these views and ideas to the atten- tion of the administration. The Student Council is made up of students from all three grades. Each homeroom elects a representative to attend the meetings which were held every other Wednesday. The representative brings the ideas from their homeroom to the meeting where they discuss and vote on these issues. Student Council was very involved in the possible closing of Cooper. They organized a march from Cooper to Hostcrman Jr. High where one of the two public hearings on the potential closing of Cooper was be- ing held. They also organized a pep fest to inform the students on what was going on with the school closings, and to get everyone involved. This year's officers were president, Tom Arseneau; vice president, Gwen Baniecke; secretary, Kara Pemberton; and adviser, Don Blore. “Character shows best under adverse conditions. The performance of our Student Council and of Cooper students was splen- did in every way,” commented Don Blore. UPPER LEFT: The parking lot. one of many topia of discussion for the Stndent Council.

Yes, an aide who is a mild mannered stu- dent who answered the cry for help that rang through the halls of Cooper. The aides answered the cries by volunteering their free mods, study, and homeroom time to work in the Office, Guidance, Library, Band, and Audio Visual room. The aides must incorporate many superior skills to be able to fulfill their duties. The band aides must be able to file music in a single bound, the library aides must be able to shelve books quicker than a speeding bullet, and the A.V. aides must have the strength of a locomotive to deliver the fleet of movie projectors and overheads to their destination. The guidance and of- fice aides must also be able to use X-ray vi- sion to inform students and other faculty members of the vicinity of counselors and principals. When asked why she volunteered to be an aide. Holly Invie said, “It gives me a chance to use a variety of skills.” Super Skills. BA. D AIDES: L Peterson and E. Eckman.

Needed Money “We have a Valentine telegram for .. . This is a popular phrase heard during Snow Week. The National Honor Society is responsible for delivering these little love notes. Along with sending the Valentine telegrams the National Honor Society sponsors Donkey Basketball as their two main fund raisers. The money raised is used to buy carnations for all members and to have a banquet. This year's banquet was held at the Sheraton Northwest. Guest speaker was Ron Hess, a minister from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. On January 18, 104 new members were inducted into National Honor Society. These new members were evaluated by the faculty in four categories: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. At the induction ceremony the four officers each spoke on one of the four qualities re- quired by every member, and lit a candle for each. A reception followed that was sponsored by the Cooper Parent Organization. This year's officers were Loren Sawat- sky, president; Connie Rcimer, vice- president; Barb Fredrickson, secretary; and Bev Doege, treasurer. Mr. Ferrell was the adviser. “The induction ceremony, the speeches, and National Honor Society as a whole will be a part of high school I will long remember, commented treasurer Bev Doege.

National Honor Society — 119 Ingredients for Perfection Many students do not realize how much time and effort fellow students and faculty and staff personnel put into making Cooper a school to match any other, not just in athletic competition but also as an educational institution. The following are just a few examples of the dedication: The cooks who spend hours preparing nutritious lunches, the custo- dians who keep the rooms, hallways, and yard in good condition, the teachers who spend hours developing lessons. Students are also devoted, such as the athletic teams, cheerleaders, Cooperettes, pom pons, flaggies. Hawk's Quill staff. Talons staff. World Citizen Club, Declam, and all the other organizations who spend their free time planning ways to make Cooper someplace special for everyone. ABOVE: Taping up for practice.

BELOW: Michelle Barton and Katie Krueger work on their grammar exercises. BELOW LEFT: Mr. Hollister reads over a student's notebook. Communications for Everyone Students were required to take at least one literature course and at least one com- position course per semester. In the literature category, underclassmen took classes that studied American Literature from the Pilgrims to the present. Most sophomores also worked on their reading speed and comprehension level in the Reading Lab. Seniors either took World Lit or Heritage Lit, a college prep course that dealt with England's literary style, and where a good deal of America's originated-Mother England. In the composition category, students had the opportunity to express themselves in many ways through many classes: Creative Writing, Communications A and Communications B, to name a few. More serious works following more specific formats were written in Comp II and Comp III. Comp III is also a college prep course that deals with how to write a research paper, using special tools- comparison contrast, analogy, and paraphrasing. “We try to work on the pro- cess, not the product, commented Mr. Sullivan. Theater also played a part in Cooper’s Communication Department. Mr. Phillips taught Introduction to Theatre and Theatre Production. Intro to theatre deals with acting, the history of theater, and technical theatre — the set, lights, sound effects, etc. Theatre Production requires the students to put on their own one-act play. Intro to Theatre is a prerequisite. “This is where they get their feet wet. We like to turn out people who appreciate theater, said Mr. Phillips. The Communications Department covered a vast expanse of subjects, a total learning experience for Cooper students. “We at Cooper are proud of the range of communication that our department covers — for all kids on all levels of learning, added Mr. Hollister. Communications — 125 More Than Current Events When most students think of Social Studies, they think of current events, the beloved news article they bring to class each Friday. Actually, it's much more. Social Studies is history from the past to the present; it is government, the United States, and all countries of the world. Sophomores began with American Studies. Information about the discovery of America and other historical happen- ings in the United States until World War II was crammed into their minds. The juniors took World Area Studies. They focused on each of the four major world areas: Asia, Africa. Europe, and the Soviet Union. In each area they studied the tradition and developments of each culture. Over the semesters they made projects, saw films, and worked out of their textbook. The seniors spent a semester finding out everything anyone could possibly want to know about economics. They bought stock and discovered how the stock market works. Seniors in Economics also learned ABOVE RIGHT: Lisa Streeter checks her assignment. RIGHT: Sophomores work on oral reports during Mr. Anderson's class. about inflation, recessions, and reforms. The Government classes had attorneys come in on Law Day. Students were able to ask questions and learn about the at- torneys' jobs. All Government classes learned from Mr. Blore that, “Every lec- ture and every reading assignment and every class discussion traces hack in some way to the Constitution of the United States.” The Social Studies Department offered classes for slow learning students. The classes are American Citizenship for sophomores; World Citizenship for juniors; and Applied Social problems for seniors. These courses taught the same material as their counterparts, except at a slower pace. The only elective Social Studies class was Psychology. Students in this class learned about behavior and did a number of experiments. More advanced Psychology classes were offered to students who did well in Introduction to Psychology. 126 — Social ABOV E LEFT: Sophomores get down to business.

Social — 127 A Close-up Look at Special Teachers There are several programs at Cooper to help students who have behavioral, emo- tional or scholastic problems. One of these programs is Youth in Need (YIN). Headed by Ms. Mannenga and Ms. Schoenbauer, the program helped students understand their behavior and their values. They also attempt to set goals, change behavior, and select a lifestyle. Personal Development, instructed by Ms. Vedders, was closely related to YIN. Students met two or three times a week to discuss their goals, successes, and failures. Ms. Nelson, Mr. Sadler, Ms. Kcickcr and Ms. Black helped students in Special Learning and Behavior Problems (SLBP). The students in this program had average or above average I.Q.'s and were referred by the Child Study team which consisted of the administration, the psychologist, the nurse, the social worker, and the counselors. The teachers met with the team and discussed the students in- dividually. Ms. Black commented, “It’s really super that we can discuss individual students in a school as large as Cooper. Ms. Bjorkman instructed the Special and Vocational Education and Remedia tion program (SAVER). This program met once a week, and students were helped in math, spelling, reading, and writing skills. Mr. Drolson was the Work Study Coor- dinator. He reviewed pre-vocational skills, discussed on-the-job problems, and provid- ed counseling on work-related topics. He was also a Resource Classroom teacher along with Mr. Allivato. Together, they tutored students with general learning disabilities. They helped with regular classroom and remedial work. Ms. Dryer worked with students in the Limited English Proficiency program (LEP). She helped students with a limited background in the English language. Support personnel, who worked with all the programs, were Mr. Seifert, Dr. Hogenson and Mr. Hammond. Mr. Seifert the social worker, helped develop com- munication between the home and the community. Mr. Hammond, the speech therapist, tested and worked with students in solving speech problems. Dr. Hogenson gave personality evaluations and I.Q. tests as the need arose. He also determined reading levels for the different programs. 128 — Special Ed. LEFT: Mr. Sadler lendi a helping hand to Dan M arse and.

Along with the declining enrollment in this district came declining enthusiasm. Damaging shcool property, lack of cooperation from students, and low turnout for school sponsored events gave the impression of not caring. The damage which was done to the school included spray painting on walls, ruining traffic signs, breaking bottles in the parking lot, and leaving litter around the school grounds. The damage was done by both Cooper students and students from neighboring districts and schools. Quite a few students decided to show their indifference by coming late to school or failing to show up for classes. Long lists of tardies, piles of detention slips, and sheets of early checkouts signify some students' uncaring attitude. These people are only a small percent- age of the student body, but in taking a close-up view this is what we discovered. 130— Feature Feature— 131 Send Me to Seattle Health is a required course at Cooper. Most students take it as a sophomore. They learned about many areas: foods, drugs and alcohol, first aid, sex education, C.P.R., and mental and physical health. “Psychosomatic health is playing a big- ger part in everyone's life,” commented Mr. Knight, one of the two Health teachers on the faculty, “mainly because we're worse off mentally, which is causing physical breakdowns. The world we live in is moving at a faster pace, which causes problems like more runaways, divorces, and teenage pregnancies.” C.P.R. is an abbreviation for cardio- pulmonary resuscitation. All Health students must pass the C.P.R. test to pass Health. There was a slight change in the method of C.P.R. this year because tl Red Cross and the American Hea Association agreed on the one best way perform it. Mr. Knight said. “The mo people who know C.P.R., the better o society is. If you’re going to have a hea attack, go have it in Seattle. More peop know C.P.R. there than anv citv in tl U.S” Cancer and heart disease arc the bigge killers of humans in the world. Heali students discussed the risk factors of hea disease, the main factors being smokin high blood pressure, and stress. “Stress cs be curbed,” finalized Mr. Knight. “W have to have faith in each other and woi together to solve the problem; pills aren the cure-all... they don’t solve it.” RIGHT: Robin panes through her notes to understand more fully. BELOW: Mr. Knight’s class listens while he expands upon a topic. A Variety of Phy Ed Favorites The Cooper Phy-Ed curriculum offers three different types of classes: dance and recreation, racket and team sports, and regular Phy. Ed. classes. The regular Phy. Ed. classes required by the state are taken mostly by sophomores. This class covers many different sports in- cluding volleyball, football, soccer, tennis, unicycling, and some dancing. A favorite class of the seniors is dance. They learn folk dances, social positions, square dances, mixers, and old time dances. Another class open to juniors and seniors is racket and team sports. Senior Jacki Wincek remarked, “Racket sports are co-ed. That makes it fun. You get a variety of things to do. Phy Ed.—133 To Create and Display Art The Art Department was busy as usual with their drawing, painting, sculpting, and design. The Art program started with Foundation Design, a class which most students took as a basic requirement for advanced art classes. From there, students could enroll in either Drawing and Paint- ing, Sculpture and Ceramics, or one of the other advanced courses taught by Ron Chagnon or Ardis Niemann. In November, the classes went on a field trip to the Minneapolis Art Institute. Other special activities included former art students coming in to show their work, set- ting up displays in the foyer windows, and exhibiting their work at the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. 134— An Bonjour! Guten Tag! Hola! Foreign language students spent part of their study time planning and taking trips, learning about the countries, their cultures, and current events. German classes returned, as they have each holiday season, to the Weihnachtsfest Haus in St. Paul. They also planned a trip to Germany for the summer. Spanish students visited Mexican restaurants. Some planned for a trip to Spain. All language students celebrated the Mardi Gras Fashing car- nival festival in the spring. They ate brat- wurst, sangria, and eclairs. The teachers who directed these ac- tivities were Carol Sandstrom, Spanish; Joyce Walmsley, German; and Ruth Anderson, French. ABOVE: Students listening alternatively during French class.

Languages — 135 A Close Look at Our World Mr. Behren’s Modern Biology classes had the opportunity to take a close up view of reptiles. On December tenth, Mr. Odegaard, the “Reptile Man,” came to Cooper and brought with him some of the reptiles in his collection. The scaly creatures included in the presentation were an Australian Bluc-Tongucd Skink, a Blood Python, a Green Tree Python, a Gila Monster, and an Alligator Snapping Tur- tle. Many of the Reptiles shown are on the endangered species list or can no longer be taken out of their native countries. Students were allowed to hold and touch the reptiles in order to learn more about them. Mr. Behrens said. “One of my main goals has been and always will be to in- novate methods that will elicit more student participation and involvement.” The Chemistry classes investigated the properties and behavior of various materials. Students participated in ex- periments using different chemicals. One experiment everyone is sure to remember is the experiment using iron and sulfur. When heated together, the two elements created a rotten-egg odor which could be smelled throughout the third floor. Students who are considering careers in science, technology, or engineering enroll- ed in Physics. Physics dealt with the development of ideas, including motion, light, and electricity. Students who took Physics usually were planning careers in science-related fields. mi r ABOVE: Mr. Dr ho helps Mary Thompson with a Chemistry problem.

Help for Careers Although math is only required one year, many students continued to enroll in it as a way of preparing themselves for col- lege. According to Mr. Buffington, “Kids should explore what kinds of math they need for their career choices. Many students would he surprised to learn how much math is required for certain careers. The Calculus students, however, were prepared. Senior Kevin Lee said he took Calculus “as a college prep course, Rhea Hallberg enrolled in it because “Calculus offered a challenge, and I need it for my future. The students weren’t the only ones look- ing toward the future. In November, the math teachers attended the regional con- ference of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers held at the Radisson Hotel in St. Paul. At the con- ference, they were able to see exhibits from book and computer companies which showed the latest developments in math. Teachers were also able to listen to a varie- ty of speakers who spoke on topics such as problem solving and absolute values. From these exhibits and lectures they gained new ideas and techniques which they used in teaching their classes. Math — 137 Students Choose Vocation or Hobby Industrial Arts classes were designed for students who are thinking about a job or hobby in one of the fields offered. Many different courses were available for in- terested students. The courses included in the curriculum were Drafting, Graphics, Architectural and Mechanical Drawing, Woods, Metals, Electricity, and Photography. First year courses were designed for an exploration of a particular area, so that students could find out if they were in- terested enough to continue in one of the fields offered as a vocation or hobby. Rick Chamberlain stated, “I took Industrial Arts so I could build a desk and learn the skills to maintain cabinet-making as a hob- by.” Todd Heimer enrolled in Architec- tural Drawing for this reason: “I had a strong interest in straight lines and geometrical shapes.” The Industrial Arts Department also felt the impact of budget cuts. The auto body class and two electronics classes were cut from the list of courses offered. Mr. Loushin taught only half of the day at Cooper and the other half at Robbinsdale. “I feel the cut itself is not as drastic as the program it affects. The program suffers,” Mr. Loushin remarked.

Looking Toward the Future Human relations, offered in the Home Ec. Department, explored relationships with family members and friends, dating, and helped students prepare for marriage. The students participated in a dating game activity. Ms. Jordan remarked, “The students had fun during the game because they didn't know who was answering their questions. Child Development, another course of- fered by the Home Ec. department, focus- ed on understanding and guiding the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of children. Some areas that were covered in the course were prenatal care, parenting skills, sudden infant death syndrome, children and television, and special needs of children. This class was taken for many reasons, but generally just because participants were interested in kids. Home Ec didn't offer just cooking and sewing, even though classes were offered in three different areas. In Contemporary Clothing students could choose to sew on woven materials. The Recreational sewing classes students sew Frostline kits. Tailor- ing classes sew clothes to fit to the stu- dent's measurements. Cooking classes ranged from creative cooking to gourmet cooking. In the classes, the students learned to use many different types of cooking methods including fondu- ing, braising, grilling, stewing, and microwaving. The Home Ec. Department has many interesting classes, all helping students look towards the future. Home Economics — 139 RIGHT: Jon Kottke receives help on his ncconnting from Ms. M nr laugh.

Old Keyboard Has New Uses A new addition to the Business Educa tion Department was an Apple 11+ com- puter system which boasted two disc drives, a printer, and enough memory to tackle even the lengthiest jobs. It was available for use by students who were tak- ing Business Machines, Accounting, and Records for Home and Business. “The keyboard as we know it will never change, said Ms. Murtaugh. “but what it’s used for will.” An old subtraction from the Business Education curriculum was Gregg short- hand — dropped because of a combination of lack of student interest and faculty. Forkner shorthand, though, was still of- fered. Also prevailing despite the recent rash of governmental budget cuts were all three levels of typing. “More businessy business courses (Business Machines, Business Law, and Business Management) offered subjects studying the consumer and their rights in the marketplace, running a small business, advertising and marketing products of a business, or managing the records of a business. Students also learn to analyze the records of a business to determine if it could be a good investment or not. “We teach subjects for skill development and personal needs of students, added Ms. Murtaugh. “You aren’t born a good consumer.” 140 — Business Education Experiencing Through Work The Cooperative Education Program had much to offer students. There are two divisions to this program, what students commonly call “The Work Program”: the Work Experience Program and the Career Experience Program. The Work Experience Program was of- fered to all students, although “it’s usually taken by students who had problems that may interfere with their school work,” commented Mr. Seiler. The Career Experience Program was of- fered to seniors only. It provided on-the- job training in the areas of sales, office work, home economics, or trade and industry. Here’s how both parts of the whole pro- gram work. The student chooses a career to pursue, takes their required classes, in- cluding an elective having to do with that career in the morning and goes to work in the afternoon. Mr. Seiler, the instructor, creates a liaison between the employer and the stu- dent. He works with the employer to develop a training program that will best educate the student about their career choice. The system works — so do the students. “It’s an all-encompassing program,” said Mr. Seiler. “It satisfies the different needs of different students.” Work Program — 141 RIGHT: Colleges make information accessible by setting up booths in convenient places.

Rising Ambitions, Rising Costs One topic seniors repeatedly asked each other in the halls was where they were go- ing to college and how they were going to pay for it. Neither of these two questions were easy to answer. One problem is that in the United States there are over 3,200 colleges to choose from, as well as the op- tion of not going to college. The bigger pro- blem, however, was how to get enough money to pay for this higher education. The cost of tuition, room and board, and miscellaneous items is ever-rising. The tui- tion for a private college, such as Augsburg, is S3.660 a year. That figure doesn’t even include room and board, which is $1,837. A state university such as the University of Minnesota, charges an average of $1,448 for tuition and about $ 1,800 for room and board. The least expensive colleges are com- munity colleges. Having a tuition of $690, North Hennepin Community College of- fers many students the education they want with a more affordable price. A number of students find it more economical to attend a community college for two years and then finish their school- ing by transferring credits. Don’t be fooled. Tuition and room and board aren’t the only expenses. Other ex- penses students encounter on the road to a higher education are books, supplies, and transportation. All college classes use books and supplies of some kind, and these books range in price from $3 to over $40. Chalk-up another $200 on the list of yearly expenses. With rising gas prices, the cost of driving to school is increasing, as arc bus fares. Even if a prospective student lives on campus, they can expect to spend at least $250 on transportation, double that figure if they commute to school. How arc seniors going to pay for all of this? Scholarships, grants, and loans are the most common sources of aid for college-bound students. If a student is for- tunate. they’ll receive an academic or athletic scholarship that will pay for all or some of the costs. A grant will also provide money for education. Most students, however, pay for their education through loans which are paid back after gradua- tion. The Guarantee Student Loan Pro- gram, National Direct Student Loans, and the United Student Aids Funds are some of the loan programs which are available. These are just a few of the major ways of paying for an education. Even though the cost of going to college is expensive, it will probably become one of the best investments a student could ever make.

Feature— 143 A Musical Menagerie Cooper’s instrumental division featured seven groups this year: Jazz Ensemble, Pep Band, and Marching Band were people who were in either of the three primary bands. These primary bands were Sym- phonic Wind Ensemble, Concert Wind Ensemble and Concert Band. Also con- tributing to the Orchestra were wind players from these three bands, for “or- chestra does not live on strings alone. ' “Although we had a good Marching Band season, commented Mr. Spangler, “we could have accomplished a bit more if we hadn’t been so rushed. In the Vocal Department, the Madrigals, Concert Choir, and Varsity Choir were directed by Richard Kloos, who enjoyed his first year at Cooper, after having transferred from Sandburg. “I m glad to be back in a high school — the students are generally more mature, he said. Mr. Kloos had taught at Robbinsdale Senior High before going to Sandburg. The bands and the choirs both held fund-raisers in November. All band members sold fruit, cheese, and sausage to raise money for buses, equipment, and repairs. There was also a separate volun- tary fund-raiser in the spring to earn money for the Symphonic and Jazz Ensemble’s trip to Madden's resort. They played two concerts on the way. The choirs held their concert on December 15. Special performances featuring the Madrigals at the Courage Center on November 22, and a concert given by the concert choir on the 20th. “It almost seems like we're invading Armstrong's territory because their choir sings there every year, ’ remarked Julie Peterson. The bands had their winter con- certs in late January, and both the choirs and the bands held their spring concert in mid- May. The Cooper music program cherished a year of mirth and music.

When the students reached the dancing segment of the class another memorable phrase came to mind. “Food times never seemed so good:” this line from the song “Sweet Caroline” was heard quite often. It was the song used to teach sophomores how to two-step. “Sweet Caroline” seems to have the kind of melody that sticks pleasantly in your mind. It is for this reason that no matter how old you get, when you hear the opening music for “Sweet Caroline” your feet naturally pick up the beat, and your mind wanders back to your sophomore days.

This includes driver's classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction taken after school three nights a week for six weeks from 3:00 p.m.-4:40 p.m. The first thing you receive in the classroom is a Driver’s Manual which contains Minnesota's rules and regulations. During these sessions movies are seen, lectures are given by the instructor, and quizzes are taken. The quizzes that are taken are on chapters from the Driver’s Manual that are read outside of the classroom and are then graded. After successfully passing the driver's classroom instruction, an appointment is made to take the permit test during one period of the school day. After passing the permit test, the next step is taking six, one-hour sessions of behind-the-wheel instruction. Then the drivers education course is complete.

The Boy Friend. Peter Frantz played the part of Alphonse. Alphonse is a charming, fun-loving character whom Peter played well. Peter has had some past experience in drama. In eighth and ninth grade he was in a traveling drama show, called the Nine Troup. Peter’s dancing and singing ability is amazing because he has never had any kind of lessons and has never been in choir, though he has loved dancing ever since he was little and has done a lot of it for enjoyment. There are advantages and disadvantages to being in a play. The advantages according to Peter were that he met interesting people who became good friends, and that he actually lived and felt the part he played. Peter felt there was only one disadvantage, primarily the time put into practicing for the play. At first they practiced two hours after school and a couple of hours on Saturday mornings. Then when it came nearer to the actual performance, they began to practice about four or five hours during the week and seven hours on Saturdays. What Peter enjoyed most about the character he played was that he was such a fun-loving person with no worries and it was easy to escape from his own problems. What he least liked about Alphonse was that he was a very shallow and unrealistic person. Peter loved being a part of the fall play, and he plans on going out for many more in the future.

This is tough on sophomores because it makes them feel inferior to the juniors and seniors who can drive. The only way they can take out their dates is by getting rides from their parents, double-dating with friends, or having an older date who can drive. Not being able to drive causes many problems for both boys and girls. For example, they cannot attend many school events or be in many extra-curricular activities. Also, getting to a job is a problem, especially in the winter when it is too cold to walk or to ride a bike. Even though there are many problems, there are a few benefits. Some of them are not having the extra expenses of gas, insurance and the upkeep of a car. Jeff Tracy Linda Traczyk Hung Tran Tam Tran Julie Trend Molly Trimbo JeffTrisko Kathleen Troland Scott Ulen Stacy Underberg Pat Uzelac Paula Vilmo Sue Vogelgesang Julie Vorderbruggen Annie, Are C.P.R. stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, a life saving emergency technique that is used to keep a person who is suffering from cardiac arrest (heart stoppage) alive until help arrives. This is a basic part of the required health courses taken at Cooper, which is sponsored by the American Heart Association. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves three basic rescue skills which are: 1. Opening the airway 2. Providing mouth-to- mouth resuscitation. 3. Keeping blood circulating by means of chest compressions. There are five C.P.R. tests taken by each student. Four You O.K.? are performance tests, and the other is a written test. These must be successfully passed in order to pass the Health course. Two of the performance tests are done on a dummy called Recessive Annie. This consists of a one- person rescue, and a two- person rescue. Another test is a performance test for infant resuscitation. This is done on a doll. The last of the performance tests required is a test for obstructed airway, which is done on another person in class. After all these tests are successfully passed, the written test is taken. After the class is completed the students are ready to save the world. 176 — Sophomores § Randy Vosscn Mike Vought Jodi Wagenknecht Steve Washam Yousef Wazwaz Diana Weber Dan Webmger Ann Wedin Ricky Wccgman Adrienne Wester Jack Wheeler Wendy Wilkins A Cherished Memory Class rings arc very meaningful to most students. They are a special keepsake, full of treasured memories. They show spirit and achievement and are something to be proud of. As has been the tradition with every sophomore class, the Class of‘84 ordered their class rings. In December, the beginning of this annual event could be seen with the appearance of the plastic “fit to size” rings.” Once again the excitement of buying class rings could be sensed. Josten's, the company that makes Cooper's rings, offered many different styles, stones, and other extra features to the sophomores. Important decisions had to be made since the ring was to become a treasured memento of their high school years. With all the choices, the sophomores virtually designed their own ring. Their personalized ring expressed the students uniqueness and individuality.

She has a time of 11:3! for the two mile run and is one of Cooper's top runners. Her main goal is to go to State. When asked why she likes to run, Wendy replied, “It gives me a feeling of well- being and accomplishments. To stay in shape Wendy participates in cross-country skiing and track. You will also find her running during the summer about five miles a day. She says, “I have no specific diet, but I watch what I eat and try to eat a lot of natural foods.' Wendy is a very busy person with her sports, playing violin in the orchestra, and finding time to work.

Is it boredom or rebellion? The most typical type of vandalism that occurs in schools today is broken windows and spray-painted sidewalks. Compared to other schools in the district, the cost of vandalism at Cooper last year was the cheapest. The cost for Cooper was six thousand dollars, Robbinsdalc was eight thousand, and Armstrong was twenty-six thousand. Vandalism can be lessened by using the closed-scheduling method instead of open. In the last five years vandalism has decreased at Cooper. Juniors— 183 How Do We Rate On the sixth and seventh of October the juniors took the Iowa Skills Test. The test included seven different categories: Comprehension. Vocabulary, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies. Language Arts, and the Use of Sources. The Iowa test is meant to test the overall knowledge of eleventh grade Cooper students compared to the eleventh graders of other schools in the district, the state, and on a national level. The tests are graded by the percentage right on each of the different categories.

Heather’s jazz talents are being used for the musical, “The Boy Friend.” The steps done for the dance are fast and very difficult. The basic steps may seem easy when explained verbally, but doing it up to tempo is another story. Heather has been dancing for about six years. She is taking classes at the studio. Dance Unlimited, and she practices just about every day at home. Her practices last about two hours. Heather has also done some teaching. She first started at another studio called Young America. She eventually worked her way up to assistant dance instructor. She has taught kids in kindergarten through high school age. To stay in shape she is out for cross country running and track.

Every pepfest has the same general lineup of what to do. First, the marching band plays the school song. Then, Mr. Blore comes out in his miniature van and guesses the scores of the football, soccer, or hockey games. The cheerleaders cheer, the Cooperettes dance and some games are played. Then we have the challenge yell and everyone screams as loud as they can. When the Sophomore cheerleaders come out, everyone boos and nobody can hear a word they say; but as everyone knows, it’s all in fun. E. J. usually comes to the pepfests, and he receives a standing ovation every time. The fall, winter, and spring sports captains speak about their teams with pride and tell us how they have been doing. The pepfest closes with the band playing the school song and everyone starts leaving when they start to play it a second time. A pepfest is a tradition of Cooper High School. 194 — Juniors Dave Smith Diane Smith Liz Smith Tom Smith Jeff Stern Anne Stewart Rich Stewart Nancy Stillpa s Sheryl Stockert Sheryl Stockstad Lisa Streeter Scott Sorkilmo Reiko Soukup Dan Sowada Debra Sowada Derrcll Sowada Donna Sprague Darren Sonenstahl Barb Sorensen Tina Sorensen Art Sorenson Sandy Stamm Vonda Stamper Bob Stecre Darren Stecves Dan Steinhauscr Jim Steman Dave Tepley Liz Thompson Steve Thurman Kris Tiefenthaler Michael Tienter Kris Tjoens Nannete Trafton John Trettel Chris Trimbo Raymond Tuenge Kelly Van Neel Cathy Vogelgesang Marie Vogt Karen Voltz Sue Voss George Wadtke Kim Waldeland Terry Waldemar Tracy Wallace Amy Walter Tamara Warmsley John Warren Schaun Waste Susan Wavinak Thomas Wedin Mitchell Weinzetl Krista Weiss Judy Wenlund Stephanie Wentling Emily White John Wiisanen Jerry Winker Steve Worman Charlene Worth Scott Wyman Tamara Yantes Michael Young Steve Zabinski Betty Zimdars Juniors — 195 Se • nior (s£-ny ar n 1.

In Cooper's Art Department, headed by Ms. Ncimann and Mr. Chagnon there are five outstanding senior artists: Brad Hansen, Barb Fredrickson, Anne Boyle, Todd Heimer, and Steve O'Brien. They arc all capable in a variety of areas but are beginning to specialize in certain media and developing their own styles. Brad Hansen works exclusively with jewelry. “Art's a lot of fun because of the freedom you have to do your own thing. If you like what you do, chances are other people will too.” Barb's specialty is in painting. “It won't be my college major, but I will keep it as my lifetime hobby.” One outstanding student in commercial art is Anne Boyle. “I enjoy doing artwork, especially for money.” Anne designs greeting cards and wedding invitations. Todd Hiemer works with minutely detailed drawings that look very mechanical. “I like using my imagination to create.” Steve O'Brien has been drawing as long as he can remember. He basically draws science Fiction and fantasy portraits. “I'll never give up my art. These five seniors represent the diligent work in Cooper’s Fine Art Department.

Kent Larson and others. During the school year these few were earning their private licenses. They spent three evenings a night at groundschool, flying lessons about once a week, and some studying in between. Following the groundschool the students were tested on the “textbook material of flying. The test for private pilots is a three-part test: The written test after groundschool. the flying chcckridc. and the oral exam. After the student pilot felt ready for the checkridc. an examiner flew with them for the checkridc. The oral exam consists of 66 questions from the examiner. It sourids like some work, but as Cathy Colson put it, “I like (King and I want lo be a commercial pilot.” Some of the senior pilots planned to continue into more advanced areas such as commercial and corporate pilots. Students from Cooper will soar into the future. 2 OX Senior Jane Ellen Much Dawn Renac Huisken Perry James Mumble Maureen Eloren Hurley Jeffrey Scott Myer Nancy Jean Hyscr Gregg Cary Hyster Richard Paul Idstrom Holly Sue Invie Susan Marie Iverson Chris Jon Jablonski Gerald Lee Jagerson Paula Cori Janikowski Jeri Jo Jendro Cheryl Lynn Jensen Stephen Lee Jeppesen Tamala Lee Jesme Peter Leslie Johansen Amy Jo Johnson Blaise Vincent Johnson Brett Alan Johnson Dencll La Von Johnson Seniors Jay Gregory Johnson Marcus Wooderd Johnson Michael Allan Johnson Randall Scott Johnston Vicki Ann Jones Mark Peter Juba Carolyn Mary Jurek Nancy Kay Jurmu Torben Juul Daniel Howard Karvonen Mary Joanne Kavanagh Colleen Lori Kehn Jannette Marie Keppel Kristine Ann King Denise Michelle Kittelson Du Wayne David Klimek Patricia A.

It is passed from the class of '80, to the Class of '81. and then to the Class of '82. It is like some highly contagious disease. Symptoms consist of dropping courses, skipping classes, lowered grades, apathy, and general misbehavior. Apparently seniors just get “fed-up. “Senioritis doesn't last forever. It just lingers until the big day arrives for each senior to graduate. With graduation comes the feeling of pride, accomplishment, and the joy of making it through eleven years of school and one year of “Senioritis.

Comp III has been taught by Mr. Sullivan and Mr. DeGuisc. These two teachers have found a most efficient way of consuming one semester of most college bound seniors. In Comp 111 every student is required to write a research paper. What's a research paper? To put it simply, it is an assignment that never gives a senior a free moment. The first week of the semester is spent picking a topic. For most students, this can be a difficult task. Next, students spend hours in the library researching their topic. The final step comes in writing the paper. This assignment has required seniors to sit home, unwillingly, on precious Saturday nights, to think, to write, and to type. After two quarters of anguish and suffering, the research paper is completed. It gives most seniors the feeling of great relief, as if a huge boulder has been lifted off their shoulders... that is until the final grade comes back. 214 Soil.

His drum playing in the five piece rock band, “Rock of Gibraltar”, has been heard all around the Twin Cities, exclusively at parties and bars. “Rock of Gibraltar” started in May of 1981. Included in the band with Billy is Corby Armstrong — Lead guitar. Buddy Fuse — lead singer, guitar, Scott Pierson — guitar, and John Piotraschke — bass guitar. Billy has been playing in bands throughout his life. With the assistance of his six brothers musical talents, Billy has become the drummer he is today. “I owe it all to them,’ says Billy. When asked about his future plans, Billy says he plans to continue his musical career. “It's my whole life” — Billy Thayer. Michelle Jo Peterson Todd A.

Some of the popular work places were Target, K-Mart, St. Therese Nursing Home, Northridgc Care Center, Lunds, and Country Club. The advantages to working are new friends from other schools, job experience, money to spend, and money to save for college. The job experience also had disadvantages. Jobs hurt the student by cutting study time and limiting social life. Those students who were more involved in school, such as spirit groups, athletes, yearbook, and drama found jobs exhausting. Waking early for practice, going to school, and reporting for work made a long day. Although the job made things tougher, the students seemed to balance school work and job schedules well. Any night of the week some senior at Cooper could be found working five to nine. 222 — Seniors Our “Senior” Citizen Lloyd Thomas Sullivan John Eric Sundeen Michael James Sweeter Mark Dale Swenson Elizabeth Ann Swirtz Mary Jane Tabor Richard Lee Taylor William Allen Thayer Cynthia Ann Theiringer Mary Leah Thompson Gregory Alan Thyr Rodney John Thyr Anthony Albert Tingle Suzanne Renee Tommila Daniel Herbert Tompkins James H.

People we know and people we knew. Growing together then drifting apart. Always an ending and now a new start. At graduation we all grow nearer. And all our friends grow so much dearer. And as we say our final good-bye. One last embrace and one more cry: A “keep in touch and a “promise I will, A “remember when but better still, A place in my heart, you'll always stay. This is what's said as we go on our way.

Channels 4, 5, and 11 converged on the school to record responses to the School Board’s Oc- tober 19 recommendation that Cooper be closed. The announcement set off a chain reaction of events that had actually begun much earlier. Declining enrollment and the economy forced the closing of a District 281 high school, as well as a referendum vote for more revenue. 234 — Closing Mr. Kemppainen’s Address Last night the school board met to decide which of our district’s high schools to propose for closure next year. Many of you were pre- sent, demonstrating once again your support for C.H.S. I am saddened to announce that our Cooper is the chosen one at this point in time. After two public hearings early next month, the board will announce its final decision on November 16. On a positive note a long, long awaited decision has been reached. We have all agonized over what would happen since early last spring. We knew full well a school had to be closed, and that the decision would be extremely difficult to make. Now we must proceed from here. Certainly, the public hearings will afford opportunities for peo- ple to repeat their positive feelings about Cooper. But, most importantly we must continue to be proud, very proud of what we have here, and we must renew our pledge to join together to ensure that 1981-82 will be the best ever for each and everyone of us at a school we know as truly being . ..
