Time flies and summer is over too soon in many cases. Though the first day of school signals the end of summer, it also marks the beginning of many other events. For the sophomore stepping through the doors of Rob- binsdale Cooper for the first time, it is the beginning of senior high. For seniors, the first day of school begins a new phase of their lives. They must make decisions that will determine what course their lives will take after high school. New activities start with the beginning of school. Some of these, such as foot- ball, the newspaper, and Cheerleading begin even before summer vacation ends. These activities help students 2 - Opening make the transition from summer to fall. The reality of school's commencement strikes at the first home football game. Students know then that summer is real- ly over. The beginning of school also brings new friends, new teachers, and new classes. New friends add excitement not only to school, but also to the weekend. New teachers bring students different teaching styles and different outlooks on the present and future. A new class often means a totally new area of study, which can be very exciting. Each new school year brings with it a challenge. Students should strive to meet the challenge of each year and look with eagerness to all the new beginnings in their lives.

Summer Time Flies nevitably the first day of school brings the dreaded question from almost all teachers. Each one demands some sort of account of what everyone did with their summer. Even if one manages to escape this in- terrogation, one's friends invariably take up the inquisition until every major ac- tion of the summer is thoroughly explained. So what does everyone do all sum- mer? Working tops the list as the major summer diversion. The last weeks of May and the first weeks of June find local businesses flooded with job seekers. By the end of June almost no employer will even look at an application. Once everyone has earned a paycheck, they must find ways to spend it. Movies and concerts, popular forms of entertainment, took up many summer nights. Uptown, and especially the Up- town Theater, attracted many students looking for a combination of these ac- tivities. The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense are two of the very popular musicaVconcert movies shown. Lack of funds caused some students to skip these movies and just hang around Up- town. The famed punk haven, McDonald'sl drew those interested in just sitting around talking to friends. Many students found a day at the lake a pleasant way to spend a day off from work, but one can hang out at Lake Calhoun only so many times. Cool or rainy days found many vacationers at Calhoun Square, City Center, Ridgedale, or Riverplace. By late August, shopping becomes an obsession, and balancing money spent with money earned becomes challenging. After returning from family vacations, most students found it quite necessary to throw at least one back to school bash with friends to begin the transi- tion from summer to fall. Submitting one's two weeks notice and staying up until 4:00 am. or sleeping until 4:00 pm. a few last times completes this transition. 1 Ridgedale, one of the many shopping malls in the Twin Cities, draws shoppers armed with their parents' plastic money. 1 Seeking group participation students attend movies such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Uptown Theater. fgW'l h' s ,, u ..

In high school, the questions change to llWhat are you doing after you graduate? or llWhat college are you going to? Then, for those students who decide to go to college, comes the worst ques- tion of all, llWhat are you majoring in? Some students can answer this ques- tion before entering college, others cannot answer it after attending col- lege for three years. Undecided is a very popular major choice. However, not all students attend college. Many options are open to each person, and he or she must make the decision that best suits him or her. Vocational Technical Centers or Trade Schools are the choice of many students. Hands-on training in technical areas leads to jobs a few .months after enrollment. Some students choose not to enroll in such programs, preferring full time jobs im- mediately after graduation. Students who prefer discipline and physical endurance often enroll in the Armed Forces. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines offer many incen- tives to graduates who are unsure of their future plans. Specialized training in various fields and the opportunity for government funded higher educa tion are two benefits the services offer. For those who decide to attend a college or university, choosing one that is right for them is a difficult task. Every institution has something to of- fer. Decision making involves finding the school that is best for the student. There are two and four year, public and private, large and small colleges. In state, out state, rural, suburban, and urban colleges are available. Some col- leges specialize in engineering, business, or theater. Universities have many colleges within their walls. The number of choices is astounding. Students know their strengths and weaknesses, and based on their ultimate goals, will make the decision that is best for them. Opening e 7 -.

It is a never-ending cycle. Finally, after months of waiting, the snowymelts and school is out; but, in what seems like the blink of a sun lover's eye, school starts again. The cy- cle continues. To some the onset of winter is a welcome change. The fashion conscious buy new coats and sweaters, and the sports minded can go skiing, skating, and snowmobiling. To others, the beginning of winter is somewhat like receiving a life sentence at Alcatraz; it is the worst possible punishment. The worshipers 0f the sun god Apollo can sense the season change as easily as they sense that their front side is getting more tan than their back. They are recognizable to all, wearing shorts until mid-December, stating, Hey, that tree is still green, isn't it?'l They feel this justifies their attire, but it does not, because the tree they pointed to was a pine. The realization that they will be losing that natural tan comes with the first snowfall. ln desperation, fearing that they will be outcasts, these potential mighty whities hit the tanning booths. Risking skin cancer, they enter those beds of nuclear radiation all for that status symbol of a hearty tan. Winter Break drives these sun seekers to various hot spots around the world. Florida, California, and Hawaii contain many favorite resorts. When the average daily temperature reaches fifty degrees Fahrenheit in the spring, layers of clothing are shed. Catching rays becomes a full-time oc- cupation. Students roll up pants and shirt sleeves, while moving closer to classroom windows, to achieve their ultimate goal, reception of the max- imum amount of sun. -.

The crowning 0f Marcia Gunia and Scott Billey by returning royalty Michelle Miller and Mark Frain answered this question for all concerned. King Scott said, I was overjoyed to find it was me, and Queen Marcia said, It was a real honor; I couldn't believe it. Other members of the royal court were Brent Baxley, Peter Blanchette, Scott Dalchow, Scott Morris, Lisa Hyland, Paula Koshiol, Sheryl Ottney and Lisa Dimberio. Steve Ek organized and decorated the coronation, hosted by Jon Kohnen and Sheryl Brame. The list of guests included E. J. Cooper and former principal Elmer Kemppainen. Wrestler and promoter Verne Gagne, a graduate of Robbinsdale High School, appeared as guest speaker. Entertainment for the royalty ranged from Cambodian coconut dancers e to the band, Angels with Dirty Faces, which stole the show when King Scott Billey left his throne to play drums for the song Mony, Mony.

Extensive planning by the Homecom- ing Chairpersons Fran Zabel, Shannon Noren and Lisa Hyland began as early as last spring to help make Homecoming '86 a success. The festivities began on Wednes- day with the coronation and con- tinued that evening with Casino Night followed by the bonfire. Sophomore Julie Mundale said, Par- ticipating in Homecoming activities made me feel like part of the school. Thursday was Beach Bum day, and classes were dismissed early to allow students to attend the numerous ac- tivities. Homerooms 244, 235, and 111 took the volleyball Champion- ships. The dunk tank, another activi- ty, left King Scott Billey all wet, as he was the first to test the water. Other activities included the frisbee throw, the serf auction, the feed, and the battle of the bands. Friday, Blue and Orange day, began with the delivery of Kiss-O-Grams by the royal court. During the pepfest Don Blore arrived in his CHS mini van to help students get fired up for the game against Min- netonka. The game went into over- time, however, and the Hawks were defeated with the final score 3-0. +- David Webberls rendition of Twist and Shout and Mony, Mony highlights the coronation pepfest and the Battle of the Bands. .-1 The 1986 Royal court is entertained by various groups as they nervously await the crowning of King and Queen during coronation.

Boy - I can't wait 'till Fri- day night! exclaimed Julie Yunker as she agonized over the week ahead of her. An astounding number of other students recited a similar schedule every Monday morning when they stepped up to their locker, trying to remember their combination; and, during first hour open, when they found all of their friends facing the same schedule as they had, they started planning for the weekend. They wanted time to fly. Looking forward to a 1'break from the action became a preoccupation. For some, however, weekends turned out to be worse than the week because they had to work from 6-11 pm. on Fri- day night, 5-11 pm. on Saturday night, and 12-5 pm. on Sunday, or perhaps they had musical rehearsal all day Friday and Saturday, or, maybe, they just had a bad weekend because David Let- terman was cancelled; but for the most part, weekends were enjoyable, especially if they were spent out and about with friends, doing something fun. Sports proved to be a very popular weekend ac- tivity for releasing frustration that accumulated during eighth mod. Snowmobiling, biking, tennis, skiing, fishing, and broomball were some favorites. People who preferred the indoors to the outdoors shopped, babysat, or partied all weekend. One common hot spot that never failed to be a popular option was the movies. Whether a group of friends went together or boyfriend and girlfriend accompanied each other right to the popcorn counter and on into the theatre, cinema parking lots filled quickly Friday nights. Still other people chose to spend time improv- ing their automobiles. Friday nights were spent in garages with greasy fingers and tools hooked onto their belt. As soon as the clock struck 12 midnight, some sneaky dauntless souls headed out onto the street searching out the homes of soccer players, new cheerleaders, or volleyball players, and covered many yards and roof tops with toilet paper, forks, and maybe even a box, or four, of corn flakes, and in celebration, performed a rain dance.

For them, looking for- ward to the weekend meant just stretching out and relaxing next to the boob-tube, with a few rented movies and a good basketball or football game. All of this fun continued throughout the weekend . . . until . . . Sunday night at 8 or 9 pm, when the homework was reluctantly removed from its original 2:30 pm.

Feature - 17 Snowless Snow Week Ithough Snow Week wasn't originally created to celebrate E. J. Cooper's birthday, it has become a tradition to incor- porate it within the week's festivities. The celebration of E. J.'s 90th birthday made the annual event seem extra special despite an absence of snow. The activities were kicked off with the coronation of Snow King, Scott Dalchow, and Snow Queen, Sheryl Ott- ney. Their Royal Court consisted of juniors Mark Degidio, Dave Bauman, Debbie ldstrom, Nicole Fosse and sophomores Randy Mikolai, Nick Fritz, Rachel Beatty and Wendy Peterson. Per- forming for the Royalty were the Chamber Singer men, the Cooperettes, and the Symphonic Band. During the week, the days were designated for different types of apparel and activities.

As gifts, he received a trip to Florida, another year of cable television, and a Cooper sweatshirt. After the Cooper- ettes and the cheerleaders traditionally switched places for their Valentine per- formances, the mystery guests, The Jets arrived. The former Cooper students led the audience in singing Happy Birthday to El. Twelve autographed copies of the The Jets album were given away to ten students and two staff members. The week of activities came to a close with the Jack of Hearts Dance. As Valen- tine's Day approached, another year of tradition was carried out in a whirl. .- Honoring E. J.

Snow Week - 19 Cast Gives Best Shot ew people and new ideas formed the backbone of the fall play, The Murder Room, an English comedy about an eccentric, wealthy man, Edgar Hollister, and his wife Mavis. Mavis married Edgar only for his money, and after living with him for one day determined that she really hated him and decided to murder him. Several things go wrong, however, and the plot twists and thickens into a tangled web of deception and intrigue. An absence of directors caused some of the more concerned actorsiactresses to panic, until the school hired Todd Hanson and Jim lbister. The new direc- tors brought new ideas to rehearsals such as trust exercises which en- couraged trust among cast members, leading to a cast that worked well together. Rob Thompson exercised the cast physically and mentally every night to heip bring more energy to the show. Hanson, a graduate of Cooper, said, Cooper has so much talent, it was real- ly difficult to pick the cast. Hanson and his co-director lbister both attended St. 20 - Fall Show Cloud State University where they ma- jored in theater. The directing and acting progressed as planned in the four and one half weeks they had to prepare, but the construc- tion of the set caused much distress because it could not be built until the week immediately preceding the open- ing of the show. Todd and Jim were really a breath of fresh air with their ideas, said Scott Brown, the delivery boy. Although the cast endured lack of sleep, the annual fall flu epidemic, and long rehearsals, Corey Hels said the last week was Incredibly hectic, crazy, fast-paced, uniquely stimulating, hyperactive and wonderful. -.

The lead, Tom Nynas opted to withdraw from The Actors' Nightmare only two days before the region contest, to par- ticipate in a fencing competition, leaving the cast in a nightmare of a situation. Because director Steve Ek knew that Nynas would be in Florida should the play win to go to the state festival on February 14, he had assigned understudies. However, the sudden de arture cau ht both him and the cast offpguard. Ek ad assigned Jon Hunt to understudy George, and Scott Getchell received Hunt's role. They had two days to memorize their lines and learn the blockin . Thanks to their dedication and an all- ay Friday rehearsal, they per- formed at the region contest on Satur- day, February 7.

Everyone called him George and told him he was a character in plays he knew nothing about. He began by acting a scene from Private Lives. Then he was thrown into a scene from l'Hamlet followed b Checkmate by Samuel Becket. Final,- ly, he layed Sir Thomas More in A Man or All Seasons. With his beheading by the Executioner, played by Scott Getchell, the audience was left wondering whether or not it was all a bad dream. Mollie Stickney received a star for her performance as Ellen. Other cast members included Kelle Nathe as Meg and Jill Larson as Sarah. Although they didn't place in the contest, the cast did perform at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School, and roved they could rise above the dif icult situation handed to them by pulling together. 1 Lighting technician, Chris Cook, enjoys watching the performance from the lighting booth.

For the next six weeks the cast committed themselves to hard work and dedication in order to get the show ready by open- ing night. Rehearsals were held every day after school as well as on holidays and some weekends. Helping with choreography were Leeann Herbert and Mark Swanson, who understudied Cornelius Hackl in the Broadway Touring Company's pro- duction of Hello, Dolly! starring Carol Channing. Student dance captains were '- Julie Schirmacher and Paul Seavey. Neal Luebke and Julia Rask returned to co-direct the musical. Choir teacher, Paula Holmberg, directed the vocal por- tion of the show, and Roger Thompson conducted the orchestra. For both, it was their first show at Cooper. Stan Hahn supervised the technical crew which included the actors who put in their six hours of required technical work. Angie Lee served as stage manager for the production. A large parent committee helped out with tech and provided food for the cast during the all day rehearsals. Cast member Loren Overby said, The lasagna was great, and the fresh fruit was exactly what I needed to give me the energy for another five hours of practice. 26 e Musical HELLO, DOLLY!

Though the directors and actorsrac- tresses may have spent stressful rehear- sals learning lines and dances and creating a show, not only the cast par- ticipated. Parents, teachers and students also put their share of energy and en- thusiasm into the productions. Student directors and stage managers were an essential part of the team back stage. Besides gophering for the direc- tors, they made sure that people were on stage when needed, gave line cues and kept the cast silent backstage during rehearsals and performances. They also made sure that all other aspects of the production went smoothly: instructing lighting crews, helping props people, and cleaning the stage before performances.

Katy Tessman, assistant stage manager from the fall play said, The costumes were very appropriate for the play. Other shows used costumes from the wardrobe department or rented from Norcostco. Along with other volunteers, members of the musical orchestra from Hello, Dolly! contributed hours of prac- tice to the show. Under the direction of Roger Thompson, the orchestra pulled together their performances, even though they were handicapped by a time factor. Stan Hahn, a special education teacher from Cooper, was technical director for Hello, Dolly! He directed the building ofJim lbister's set design. The people who never appeared in the spotlight sometimes put more time into a production than a member of the cast itself. When all the elements of the technical work came together for per- formance nights, the time submitted by volunteer workers tended to be overlooked.

Cooper quarter- backs threw 93 times, com- pleting 61 of them. Andy Pfeifer started the season at quarterback but quickly moved to wide receiver to catch the passes of Todd Kurth who replaced Pfeifer. Pfeifer returned to quarterback for running plays. The front line, consisting of Ted Carlson, Brian Blackman, and Ted Har- rison, through summer practices and ex- tensive weightlifting, developed themselves to protect for passes and block for the new offensive alignment, which did not catch on as quickly as head coach Ert Jones-Hermerding hoped; not until the end of the season when it caught on and worked well. The final game, a heart-breaking loss to Edina by the score of 38-27, featured the improved offense. Led by Tom Evans, Tim McNeil, Blackman, Carlson, and Harrison, the defense started the season ranked PaSses Fly, Lift Team number one in the Lake Blue and fin- ished in the top five. According to Hermerding, the opening loss to tournament-bound Osseo staggered the hopes of the Hawks. We were a young team, and we lost a lot of confidence with that game. The kicking game, sometimes good due to the efforts of Evans and Paul Lar- son, usually remained average. Larson kicked the first field goal in a few years, though making more field goals would have Changed the outcome of the Edina and Minnetonka games. The conference change did not help the gridmen as much as they thought it would. Hermerding said, We thought the teams we would play would be weaker, but there wasn't much dif- ference between the Red and Blue Lake Conferences. Once the new alignment caught on, the passes lifted the team while the defense held it steady. However, a slow start and a surprisingly tough conference kept the Hawks out ofthe playoffs.

Senior Doug Smith called it a dominating passing game that got them to state. After a few games the team settled in- to this style, and toward the end of the season it recorded four shutouts which lowered Captain Scott Len- nartson's goals against average to a remarkable 1.00, one of the best in recent years at Cooper. Lennartson, however, gave credit to goalie coach Joe Hasen and Cooper's unique defense brought in by Coach Dave Lawson. Senior Craig Swanson added, The defense jelled into a solid unit at the end of the season. This defense truly earned its nickname of the 'No Goal Patrol. The new passing style not only benefitted the defense, but also con- tributed to the timely play of the for- wards, which many times came from behind to tie a game and send it into overtime. Captain Corey Larson said, We could always score, when it counted. Despite this excellent play, the quality of teams in the Lake Blue Conference and the slow starts left the team with a disappointing regular season record. As Senior Jeff Swanson put it, The teams in the new Lake Blue this year were so evenly matched, it was amazing. The team began its post-season play with a great emotional victory over Hopkins, who had eliminated the Hawks from the play-offs the past four years. In their second game of sectional play, the team defeated Wayzata, the defending state cham- pions. In the section final the Hawks defeated Minnetonka 3-2 in a shootout, advancing them to the State Soccer Tournament. In the quarter-finals they defeated Breck 1- 0 again in a shootout, moving them into the State Semi-finals against Edina, where they suffered a loss. 1b Dan Maclntyre avoids a slide tackle. .- Jeff Swanson tries to get by a Wayzata player as Corey Larson waits for a pass.

Once again the teams from Robbinsdale Cooper and Armstrong combined due to the lack of numbers from the Cooper team. Several changes occurred, including the addi- tion of a new varsity coach, Dan Eckland, assisted by returning coaches Dan Craigg and Bill Blaisik. Chris Lind- fors called the coaches, the best in the state. The Cooper team members, which totalled only seven people of the fifty- member team, did not have any par- ticipants on the varsity team, but en- joyed having the new varsity coach help the junior varsity team. Another change created a full-length season, after last Time Brings Tumblers a t10' season's term was interrupted by the winter sports season. This was ac- complished by having the season begin one week before school started, along with all the other fall sports. Some things remained the same. However, once again the team practiced at Armstrong which forced the Cooper members to either drive to Armstrong or catch the transfer bus. After long three-hour prac- tices, the team members had to find their own rides home. The Cooper team specialized in the pommel horse routines and did ex- tremely well on the junior varsity team. Despite the inconveniences caused by having separate teams and a prolonged season, the athletes from Cooper had a great time. Junior Linh Nyguen said, Time really flew by this year.

Butter- field, a very experienced runner who placed highly in the NCAA division III haIf-mile, formed a running group in June in which several cross country run- ners participated. Brian Grott, Cooper track coach and art teacher, joined But- terfield. Grott's past experience with many of the participants helped ease the new coaches into place. The team enjoyed the change. Mike Benson said, We had a lot of fun this year, but still put in a lot of mileage. Despite this hard work the Cooper team finished a disappointing tenth at the region meet. There were several reasons for this dismal finish, one of which was the number of injuries that seemed to plague the team. Captain Steve Kahl came down with mono and made it to only four meets which caused him not to be feeling one hundred per- cent at region time. Another reason was the lack of depth of the team. Because Cooper had to compete against teams with over a hundred members, it was difficult to be competitive with the small numbers that Cooper had. Scott Dalchow said, llI just don't understand where and how schools get over one hundred people out for cross country. The girls team also exemplified the lack of numbers that Cooper has been plagued with the past few years; they had only eight members, of which three were captains, Kim Logas, Kim Gieneart and Kris Dalen. Of the eight members none were sophomores, and one was a freshman. Although short of numbers the girls team had talent in Dalen and Julie Davis who placed numbers four- teen and thirteen, respectively, at the conference meet just missing the cut-off for all-conference status.

By spending the time and hours necessary for practice together, they grew from teammates to good friends. Tieing for third in the state provided one of the boy's soccer team's greatest memories. Rob Biggs said, At the end of the year, it is better to look back at a winning season. However, I'll always remember how everyone accepted each other as friends even though we came from different backgrounds. Practicing everyday after school, play- ing together as a team, accepting the losses together, celebrating the vic- tories, and throwing team homework parties helped them form long-lasting friendships. The process worked in reverse, also. Amy Fitzer said, We were friends because we were teammates, and we had to be friends to work together as a team. It didn't matter if we won or lost, we spent a lot of time together, and we'll always remember that. Whether coming from behind to pull off an upset as the volleyball team did, winning at state while being denied their own team as the boy's gymnastics team was, ending the season with unfulfilled dreams like the football team, being commended for their excellent sports- manship by other coaches as the girls tennis team was, ending the season with only a win as the girls swim team did, or obtaining personal bests as did the cross country team, RCHS athletics created memories time will not erase. Feature - 41 42 e Girls Tennis Spirit Flies 0n Courts eam strategy and unity took precedence for the twenty-two member girls tennis team. Although they ended the season with a 3-15 record, team members will remember the season as a building one. With much dedication, the players improved their game skills throughout the season. Co-captain Lisa Hyland said, We worked hard to im- prove our game, yet, we always had fun out on the courts. Besides being dedicated, the girls kept their spirits high and displayed their friendly attitudes out on the courts. Senior Stacy Nelson said, After many of our matches, teams would compliment us on our team sportsmanship. Throughout the season, the line-up changed very little, for the positions set-up in the beginning gave the best chance for winning their matches. The singles players: Juli Gustafson, Sue Kopp, Co-captain Terri Savoye and Jodi Johnston, executed their skills well by always taking charge at the net. The doubles players: Co-captain Lisa Hyland and Kris Lindberg, Stacy Nelson and Lisa Luther, and Cara Lindley and Chris Beck also fought hard at the net, with their net play being their best feature. The first doubles team of Lisa Hyland and Kris Lindberg overthrew Edina's first doubles team in the Edina Metro Tourney which placed them in the semi-finals where they lost to Burnsville. Juli Gustafson, the team's first singles, ended her season with the team's best record of 10-12. By playing tough tennis against high- ranked teams such as m ranked Edina and alt 4 ranked Blake, they made up for the small numbers of players. Coach Ollie Guest said, Though the team was very enthusiastic and played fine com- petitive tennis, we were handicapped with lack of experienced players as well as numbers of players. Team size helped keep the team together in unity, resulting in a hard-working team that had fun despite their ending record.

Girls Tennis l 43 44 - Girls Soccer Girls Halt at Regions inishing third in the Lake Blue conference, the Cooper girls soccer team, coached by Gary Stefano, ended the year with a second place showing in' the regionals, losing to Wayzata. Improving their record over last year, they gained a first game win over Hopkins, remaining undefeated until the third contest against Richfield. Their season excited the Cooper fans, as they finished the season with an overall season record of 10-6-1 and a conference record of 9-4-1. They suffered their only tie against Wayzata. That game and our previous 2-0 victory earlier in the season gave us a good feeling about going to the regionals, said Lisa Dimberio. We were really psyched up. The team defeated Hopkins 2-1 in the first game of regions. This set them up for the second game, their opponent, Wayzata. In a very exciting game the score remained tied.

Girls Soccer 4S Aquatics Breeze Through Rebuilding omprised of only 25 swimmers, two of whom were seniors, the girls swim team went through another period of rebuilding. Having only two graduating swimmers left an experienced base of swim- mers for next year, including three divers, two of whom will be sophomores and one who will be a senior. The increased number of participants added depth to the team, allowing individuals to try different events. Although unsuccessful in their quest for vic- tory, according to co-captain Carol Rudolph, We had a great time and achieved many personal goals. Coach Al Goodwin pointed out that one reason for the lopsided record was the realignment of the Lake Conference, leaving Cooper in the tougher of the two divisions. This realignment pitted Cooper against some of the top teams in Region 6AA, including champion Edina, runner-up Hopkins, and third place Richfield. Said coach Dave Doten, llOther teams had a definite advan- tage over us, because many of their swim- mers swam all year round. Co-captain Brenda Jahnke said, As the season progressed, so did our effort and team spirit. During the season the team became a close knit unit, with everyone ac- cepted as an equal and with no cliques being created. Junior Kelli Burfeind, a first year swimmer, said that the season was rough, but it was a good experience. Coaches Al Goodwin and Dave Doten, who have coached Cooper swimming for over fifteen years, felt that the season was a tremendous experience for the girls and said, They were a great group of girls.ll Goodwin felt that the most improved swimmer was sophomore Julie Zimmerman. Consistent point winners throughout the season were Rudolph in breaststroke, Kris Pakonen in the backstroke, and Jahnke in the 50 and 100 freestyle. The majority of the girls set personal records at the region swim meet, with Jahnke leading the way by break- ing one minute in the 100 freestyle.

In the mid-season game against Wayzata, after being down 10-0 they flew back to win, 17-15. These comeback capabilities surfaced in both playoff games. In their first playoff game against Hopkins, they fell behind 12-2, but came back to win 16- 14. Although they lost their last game, against Richfield, they lost it after a big comeback. Coach Ray Cosky said, Richfield was one of our best games, even though we lost. We hustled and brought the ball to the front court very well. However, we couldn't put the ball away. Co-captains Jennifer Dobson and Sheryl Ottney led the closely-knit team. Dobson didn't single out key players, but said of the team, We all stuck together hoping to win in the end.

Closely knit, they worked hard to achieve the team's goal of breaking 100 points, not once but several times. However, the goals of Deb Peterson and Barb Atkinson, the third set of new coaches in three years, were too high for the minute team. Lack of gymnasts made it difficult for the team to compete with other, larger varsity teams. We need gymnasts and We are desperate signs went up throughout the halls at the beginning of the season to encourage participation. The top five gymnasts competed on varsity. The rest of the girls competed on junior varsity, which did not have enough members to compete as a full team. Janell Andersson said, With half of the team graduating this year, next year's team may have to merge with Armstrong the same way the boys gym- nastics team did several years ago. Senior captains Jodi Hanrehan and Andersson kept team spirit high. With only one person, Liz Hagen, having ever competed in a year-round club, the Hawks were at a definite disadvantage. Most high school gymnastics teams have several members on year-round teams. Because of this inexperience, team scores remained low. Injuries plagued the team, co-captain Andersson broke a foot and Hagen pulled a ligament. Andersson and Hagen usually provided the team's strength on all four events and their absence hampered their effectiveness as leaders in spirit as well as in scoring.

Unfortunate- y, they didn't shoot as well as they hustled, winning games and losing. llOur strengths were our hustle, pass defense, fast break, and our press. We also tried to keep the team together off the field by having a potluck dinner, go- ing Christmas caroling at North Ridge, throwing team homework parties; and we had a Christmas party with the boy's basketball team, said Head Coach Judy Rixe. We had a more positive attitude and worked better as a team,' said senior tri-captain Jennifer Dobson. Tri-captains Dobson, Amy Fitzer, and Debbie Gaunitz, exemplified the esprit de cor s. Rixe said, llOur captains rovide a good, strong core of leaders ip that we are hoping to repeat next year. We seem to do well as long as we have fun, said junior Deb ldstrom. Char Lewis, Julie Davis, Juli Gustafson, Missy Hukriede, Tracy Hedman, ldstrom, and Chris Cassen, who missed the year with a tendon injury, will lead the team next year. They played junior varsity, with Davis and Idstrom playing some varsity. The sophomores' main strength was their lon ing for improvement. Coach Pam Lin berg said, We had a strong desire to improve, and four sophomores, Julie Harrison, Donna Heger, Jennifer Kainz, and Stacy Ulen, made it to junior varsity. Our main weakness was our lack of numbers. We had eleven out, and we would have liked fifteen. Varsit '5 main weakness was its lack of heig t. Amy Burkholder was the tallest player at 5'10 . Cassen would have been the tallest and a returnin starter. Burkholder started at center wit forwards Gaunitz and Davis. They played deep at guards with Shannon Dunleavy, Dobson, ldstrom, and Fitzer. Rixe said the team showed improve- ment throu hout the year characterized by hard wor and hustle. The conference change did not help the team. It added St. Louis Park, the defending state champions, and Edina who had three players over 6' to their schedule. However, Osseo, who was rated in the state and Armstrong, an always tough rival, left the conference. Girls Basketball - 59 Skiers Seek Snow bsence of snow gave the cross-country ski team an early season problem. Since only two inches of snow lay on the ground at any one time during the majority of their season, the team' members were forced to practice on a snow-covered pond located on the corner of 42nd Ave. and Hampshire, where they conditioned and drilled to build up their endurance under the supervi- sion of coaches Tim Butterfield and Bob O'Hara. Because snow was scarce throughout the majority of their season, their meets also took place on snow-covered lakes. The team's small size allowed team members to work on personal rather than team improvement. Senior cap- tain Don Becchetti said, Our team was too small to compete against the other 'stronger' teams. The girls' team, consisting of only four members,.was unable to make up a Varsity team; therefore, they com- peted in meets as individuals rather than as a team. With Becchetti leading the team in scoring, the twelve member boys' team was able to compete with both Varsity and J.V. teams. Throughout the many downfalls of the season, including lack of members and snow, the team members still faced their meets with much enthusiasm. Becchetti described the team as, very dedicated, and added, we did our best with what we had; I guess that's all one can ask. 60 - Cross Country Skiing 1 During the middle of the race, Willy Enck enjoys a scenic view before trudg- 6 ing on.

Cross Country Skiing - 61 Team Skis to Regions lthough the slalom ski team lacked girls, the skiers as a whole did not lack en- thusiasm. Senior girls' co- captain Jennifer Archambo described the team as a happy go- lucky team that loves to have fun. Small sizes and lack of experienced racers forced team members to concen- trate more on improving individual records rather than team scores. Everyone's out for themselves, not necessarily for the whole team, said Ar- chambo. Assistant coach, Brooks Chandler, helped hold the team together des ite everyone's in- dividualistic goa s. Co-captains Dan Blachfelner and Mark Masters and Tom Evans led the boys' team in scoring. With a small number of competitors, the girls' team consisted of only co-captains Jennifer Archambo and Chris Anderson, Ruth Morris and Heather Wold. With the effort of the whole team as well as the sophomores' talents, we did better than we expected, said Archam- bo. Having team members placing in the top 10 in the Sectional meets, the team's hard work finall paid off.

Slalom Skiing e 63 Wrestling Needs Time f one critical shortcoming of the wrestling team could be named, it would have been a lack of time. Time for the members of the team to grow older and to get more ex- perience. Head Coach Bob Smith claimed the team was probably the youngest team in the history of the school, overall. In fact, three freshmen started Varsity against Hopkins, the most in school history, and four sophomores usually started in all meets. However, the age and inexperience that held back the team will be a great asset for them in one or two years when they will really be in contention for things, according to Smith. More time would have also helped to lobby for long sought after wrestling facilities. Smith said Cooper was the on- ly school in the Lake Conference without a wrestling room, and possibly the only one in the state. This posed a conflict that forced the wrestling team and the girl's gymnastics team to share mats. Captain Dave Osterhus com- plained about lots of distractions shar- ing the gym with girl's gymnastics. Despite this mat-confusion, the spirit of the kids held the team to ether and made it a rewarding, but emanding year for the coaches. Smith put the pro- gram back together and helped some ine wrestlers. Wrestling at 185 pounds, Osterhus won 13 out of 17 matches, nine times by pin and defeated the third-ranked person in the state - an extremely prestigious victory both for Osterhus and the team. At 138 pounds, Mark Mata improved the most and was all conference. Jason Dahlheimer, a junior weighing 105, showed great potential for the 1988 season. Formerly at Hosterman Junior High and coaching at Cooper for the first time, Smith really inspired the kids, said Osterhus. He's very serious and excited about the pro- gram. He reall cares for the wrestlers. Even thoug the team only went 2-9, they did manage to beat Armstrong in a gruelling match. Because of their poten- tial, both Osterhus and Smith expect that in the near future, their time will finally come, and Cooper may have a top-notch wrestling team. 64 - Wrestling - Sam Sharpe holds his opponent's shoulder blades to the mat for a pin. i -1 Attempting to hold onto his Wayzata foe, Tim Anderson solidifies his position. . -11 Dave Osterhus, Mark Mata, Yin Lee, and coach Bob Smith cheer on their teammate.

Wrestling s 65 Icemen Get New Coach obbinsdale Cooper hockey move into a new era with a new head coach. Re lacing the fun-lovin Ken Stap es was health teac er Ray Cosky. Most players thought that the transition to Cosky went as smoothly as ossible. Said junior Tim Lloyd, Coac Cosky made it real easy to accept him as our coach. The transition was also eased by having Staples' assistant coach, Gary Stefano, return as Cosky's assistant. Led by co-captains Scott Billey and Andy Pfiefer, the team had an exciting season. Despite having many slow starts, the players seemed to provide some excitement in every game they pla ed. Said Coach Cosky, We had a dif icult time putting three good periods of hockey together. One example of Cooper's inconsistencies came late in the season against Richfield. After bein down five to nothing, the team came ack to win eight to six. Another reason for their lack o continuity throughout the season stemmed from several injuries to key players. Billey broke his arm, and the ay before his cast was to come off, he re-iniured it in a freak tobogganing acci ent. Also adding to this year's woes was the lack of a consistent defense. Said Pfiefer, We would just be making our move to win the game, and then we would have a defensive lapse, and the other team would score two quick goals. Cosky looked for a bright future in Cooper hockey and was impressed with junior oalie Chris Butterfield. Billey said, ris was really sharp this year.

Hockey e 67 Hawks Fly for Trophy I I hey lived up to their name, the Hustlin' Hawks, said Head Coach Ron Bauerl . Hustle kept the Hawks flying high on defense at number one in the conference guided by senior co- captains Brian Blackman and Dean Jones, recognized by Bauerly as superb leaders. After startin off slow offensively, the team's strengtE became sharing the ball. They didn't care who scored as long as it was Cooper. There were no stars, everyone worked well together, and theteam had more character than any other I've coached in the past two years. They understood the need to work hard and make a commitment, said Bauerly. Lack of height created a barrier the team had to combat during the season. The tallest cager was junior center Ted Harrison at 6'4 . Defense kept them in the game, but as in years past their height problem made it hard to win. Bauerly said, Our oal was to play the best we were capa le of playing. We met this goal. Winning or losing isn't as important as doing onets best. Capturing a trophy for the consola- tion championship at the Bethel Holiday Tournament was really a thrill. It was Cooper's first trophy since 1975. We started out slow, and it was nice to finish strongly with a good attitude, said Blackman. 68 - Boys Basketball .-.-+- Mound players look up as Ted Harrison outjumps them to score two more points. .- - Steve Ulen scores on a layup to help Cooper achieve another victory. .- James White makes a jumpshot in a game against Hopkins. 1....-.- Hot and sweaty, the varsity basketball team listens to another Bauerly pep talk.

Boys Basketball - 69 70 e Boys Swimming Fish Swim Ithough the boy's swim team again lacked the numbers to compete in the Lake Blue Conference, there was a renewed optimism about the team. This new attitude came from the greater numbers of people on the team. Coaches Al Goodwin and Dave Doten began recruiting at Hosterman Junior High in an attempt to obtain some interest in the senior high school program. This year the results were good. The team had one freshman, ten sophomores, one junior, and eight seniors. A total of seven more people than last year's team. Another asset that comes from the increased numbers of people is the manner in which the coaches can decide whom to have in each event. For example, instead of having people whose best event is the backstroke compete mostly in the freestyle events, the coaches were able to put the best swimmers in their best events. The leading scorers included Cap- tain Steve Kahl in the one and two hun- dred yard freestyle, Gary Swenson in the one hundred yard breaststroke, and Cap- tain Tim Quady in the fifty yard freestyle. Like most teams in the Lake Blue, Cooper started its training on land. Halfway through the season the team started sharing their practice pool with Hosterman Junior High's swimming team. The custodians in charge of the pool add- ed chlorine, raising the pool's temperature. This made conditions unpleasant for the swimmers. Kahl claim- ed, It made it much harder to practice in hot water. Another interesting part of Cooperis training was the amount of water polo played. Throughout the season the team played the boy's soccer team and some students at the University of Minnesota as well as playing games among themselves every Thursday during the pre-season.

The society became more involved by co-sponsoring an in- formational program in Acquired lm- mune Deficiency Syndrome tAIDSi with the Site Council. The idea for this came from a National Honor Society conven- tion which lasted a week long at Moorhead State which the officers at- tended during the sprin of 1986. Because of what may iave been perceived as the sensitive nature of the subject matter and in order to prepare students and parents, the Society and Site Council sent notifications about the program to arents. Consistin of three phases, the irstphaseinvolve an infor- mational program given for the teachers; the second phase consisted of a com- munity presentation, and the third phase was the presentation for the students. Media interest was high because the AIDS program of this scope was the first in the state. The Society also continued its interest survey by polling sophomores during their social studies classes. The results of this survey were used to place students in possible academic clubs, such as the French Club and the Math Club, and athletic clubs, such as a Hunting and Fishing Club and a Volleyball Club. Officers, president, Angie Lee; vice president, Tom Evans; secretary, Lisa Luther, and treasurer Terri Savoye met frequently during eighth hour to work on the survey, the AIDS program, and a possible tutoring program which was turned over to the counselors because it never seemed to get off the ground. H. M. Hummel advised the Society with the dhelp of assistant principal, John L oy . The group began the school year with a Halloween dance in order to raise funds for future activities. The NHS used the proceeds to pay for Reverend Ernie Mancini to be the guest speaker at the induction ceremony on March 9. The society also Sponsored a scholar- ship for two Society members who were chosen by the faculty advisers of NHS. The two representatives for Cooper were Steve Kahl and Lisa Luther, chosen to be the RCHS candidates for 450 na- tional scholarships based on service, leadership, character, and scholarship.

Craig Council Undergoes Changes tudent Council gave students an opportunity to voice ideas and concerns on current school policy and passed resolutions that incorporated some of these ideas into current policies such as open seating during pep fests and season passes to sports events. Comprised of a representative and an alternate from each homeroom, the Council met every other week to discuss issues that students thought the administration should examine more closely. The Council covered a variety of issues, ranging from awarding letters in debate and declam, to building a shed for the parking lot attendant to making season sports' passes available to the study body, to the age-old problem of the school's parking policy. Students on the Council learned what the parking lot attendant was paid for and tried to fur- ther assist the attendant by passing a resolution to build the attendant a per- manent shed and supplying him with a radio, so that he could be in contact with the school office at all times to reduce the number of truancies. When Keith Haskell, the attendant for the first part of the year, did not return for the second half, the issues tended to become moot. The Council also dis- cussed and passed a resolution concern- ing open seating during pep fests, which the administration tried before winter break. The Council also underwent a series of articles and editorials criticizing the Council's alleged unsuccessful attempts at changing school policy. The articles also advised the Council to reorganize and change themselves before they try to change standing school policy. The Council reacted to the advice of the ar- ticles and appeared to reshape some of the Council attitudes. These changes began simply with common courtesy to other Council members by standing up while speaking and respectfully listening I Tom Evans and Kris Lason meet with Don Blore after passing a resolution on the student parking lot in the recent Student Council meeting. -.

Principal Arlene Breckenridge worked with the Council instead of assistant principal Jerome Jackson: she promised to appear the first fifteen minutes of every meeting to relay the administration's views on resolu- tions passed by the Student Council. Since Don Blore continued as adviser, so did his Student Council's constitu- tion. Blore said relations between students and the administration have been good.

Benedecte Les- becque said that she always wanted to come see what America was really like, but she found life here much the same as at home in Belgium. All foreign exchange students enjoyed the extra-curricular activities associated with American schools. Jonas Andersson said, If you wanted to play hockey in Sweden, you had to go out and join a private group. Here it is more fun because you know the people much more. A disadvantage all foreign exchange students commented on involved the strictness at Cooper. In Costa Rica, we could come and go as we pleased, never worrying about passes or tardiness, Wady Espinosa said. Here it's like a jail. Andersson agreed and said his school day fluctuated from day to day, never having a set time to start each morning. Gabry Hendriks, from Holland, no- ticed a big difference in foods con- sumed. She thought Americans in- cluded a lot of bread in their diets while Hollanders eat more meat. Hendriks also was overwhelmed with the afford- ability of fast food. She said that at home teenagers usually go out for a cup of cof- fee because they cannot afford a full meal. Pier Bargellini found it hard to ad- just to helping out with meal prepara- tions. He said, In Italy, my mom is the only cook and everything was homemade. Here i had to learn how to make food in the microwave. One difference is that there is no drinking age in any of the countries from which the foreign exchange students hail. Andersson said that drinking had never been a problem in his country. Each of the foreign exchange students had many positive comments to make about the United States. Hendriks, though, felt homesick around November and returned to Holland. She said, I've enjoyed the time I've spent here, but it's time to go back. On the other hand, the rest of the students planned to stay through the year. Espinosa, who has already graduated from his high school in Costa Rica had this to say to all future seniors, Have fun your senior year. It's great.

The National tournament usually took place in an eastern state rather than a midwestern state because of the higher population and greater interest in the game. The seven-member team met every Tuesday at Highview. There they challenged each other to strengthen their already weIl-developed skills. Luke Wiisanen, Joel Mikolich, and Dave Hericks were said by Andrus to be the top three players on the team. The other members were Eric Wiisanen, Doug Jones, Jim Henderson, and Tim S.

Debators Voice Ideas ESOLVED: The federal govern- ment should implement a com- prehensive long term agricultural policy in the United States. was the national debate topic, with which the ten active debators dealt over the year. Coached by Don Blore, participants in the debate program developed negative and affirmative viewpoints on the resolution. The affirmative team con- sisted of sophomores Ann Gupta, Heidi Kuns, Jane Skelenikka, Rick Brown, and juniors Neil Krasnoff and Jon Hunt. The negative team consisted of sophomores Adam Krasnoff, Doug Jones, Kim Kantorowicz and junior Jason Zeamon. The team competed from October to January. The affirmative team of juniors Neil Krasnoff and Jon Hunt remained undefeated from October to December, which involved seven rounds of debates with other teams. The change that occurred was that the debators did not have jobs so they were able to come to practices, said Blore. The team practiced Monday through Thursday after school for two hours. The debate team supported the Veterans of Foreign Wars Voice of Democracy radio script contest. Four Robbinsdale winners developed four- minute speeches on the theme, The Challenge of American Citizenship. These students, Gerald Mimick, Jon Kohnen, Heidi Kuns, and Kim Kantorowicz, recorded their speeches on tapes which judges evaluated, and judging the speeches on content and delivery chose Gerald Mimick as first place winner from Robbinsdale Cooper. These recorded messages were broad- cast by local radio stations near Veteran's Day. I DEBATE: Front Row: H. Kuns, A. Gupta, K. Kan- torowicz, J. Skelenikka Back Row: R. Brown, A. Krasnoff, J.

This extra curricular speech program, often called Declam, enhanced student's ability to speak in front of people. Students had 11 categories to choose from, ranging from a carefully thought out original speech to researching topics on current issues for extemporaneous speaking. Many students took Declam for personal achievement. Stephanie Hawes, a junior, said, I joined Declam because my sister was in it, and I thought it would be fun to speak in front of people. The coaching team was made up of Pat Felth, Jan Kuretsky, Jeff Phillips, Julia Rask, and headed by Phyllis Kromer. Kromer said that she had been involved with Declam for twenty-nine years and, I still enjoy seeing the students perform through positive com etition. The more popu ar categories in Declam include Serious Prose Inter- pretation, Serious Drama Interpretation, Serious Poetry Interpretation, and Humorous Interpretation. These categories consist of reciting a selection of published poetry or dramatic dialogue under eight minutes. Many students enjoyed these categories because they could concentrate their at- tention on one particular piece. The challenge in the Storytelling, Ex- temporaneous Reading, and Extem- poraneous Speaking categories was that the speakers drew three strips out of a hat and chose the subject. In Stor tell- ing, the speaker had to know the asic plot to many stories and tell them from memory. In Extem oraneous Reading, the same applie . Extemporaneous Speakers wrote a carefully thought out written speech and presented it in a maximum of six minutes. In the category of Great Speeches, students took a popular speech, recited specific parts and concluded with an analysis of how the speech pertains to today. Original Oratory, in contrast to Great SEeeches, allowed students to create t eir own speech while using quotes from similar speeches. The Discussion division spoke for itself. A group of up to eight students ra- tionalized a topic and ossible solution to it. They were grade individually and asagroup. Creative Expression was the most vere satile of all the divisions. The con- testants were given eight minutes to demonstrate creativity usin pan- tomime, impersonation, storyte ling, or any combination of the above. Through these categories, students participated in festivals throughout the spring with an opportunity to compete in the State Speech Contest. .- l DECLAMATION: Front Row: K. Jones, M. Magrath, C.

Declamation e 99 PaperSpeaks Its Mind ontroversy was prominently featured in the Quill, from the Ieft-overs from last year's pro- posed schedule change to the changes in graduation, notably robes. The paper expanded coverage with seven pages. The sports page became more in-depth in February with a new sports viewpoint by Chris COOk. The ar- ticles were geared more toward in- dividual athletes as opposed to teams. The Alliance Church of the Open Door became a hot topic on the opinion page. Parrot Cove by Corey Hels was a popular return to the feature page. Political cartoons by Hels and Jon Hunt clearly displayed their pointed views. Increased photography and student views made the paper even more popular than last year's AlI-Minnesota and AII-American paper. Readers were informed about Highview, the drug problem, the schedule Change, E. J.

Newspaper 101 Deadlines Fly by Staffers rganization and hard work aid- ed the Yearbook staff in meeting their deadlines with reasonable ease. Creating early dates for deadlines encouraged most staffers to complete their work before the mailing date. This method did not always work, however, because of a few section editors who either, had too much to do, and fell behind, or, thought this was a fake deadline, and chose not to work. The arrival of the publishing company representative occasionally caught the editors off-guard. One particularly stressful deadline was finished only 15 minutes before she appeared. She made minor cor- rections and clarifications before the pages went to the post office to be mailed to the publisher. The book used more artwork than in years past. The cover, designed by Art Editor, Cor- ey Hels, aptly represented the much debated theme, Time Flies. Time certainly did fly for the staff. By the time the final deadline arrived, the first seemed only a vague memory; and when the t' uNM aalitWa books arrived in May, most staffers did not remember the long hours and hard work they had put into it. The format for the book changed slightly when the editors chose to group the sports team photos at the end of the section. They also rearranged the order of the sections. After a few days, which seemed like a few months spent by the editors at the Taylor Publishing Company Seminar at St. John's University in June, the editors decided they had much hard work ahead. The seminar consisted of four excruciating days which were supposed to represent a true deadline. New ideas were presented and the best became part of the Talons. The staff, though, feeling somewhat maligned by segments of the student body and certain administrators for their extra privileges and their need to run the school purposefully strived to create a book that would appease all people involved in the school. The feeling of pride when the book arrived proved to the rebels in room 301 - that the work they did was really worth it. TALONS: Front Row: J. Gustafson, A. VanDusen, C. Lindley, K. Tessman, A.

I real- ly get along with Mrs. Holmberg, and she is a big improvement to our choir. said select choir member Julie Shirmacher. Select Choir is made up of seniors, juniors, and some sophomores. This is the first year some sophomores have been in Select Choir. They went to Chicago in May, as a choir trip. They sold cookies and pizza kits as a fundraiser. The Select Choir also participated in a large group contest at Jefferson competing with other choirs. Along with the Select Choir, the Concert Choir, made up mainly of sophomores, per- formed in three concerts: the winter concert in W53 December, the spring concert in May, and the festival with Armstrong in February. Forming one choir, all Cooper and Armstrong choirs sang Schubert's Oratorio. The Choir festival was sung beautifullyfI said Karen O'Reilly, mother of Select Choir member, Meg O'Reilly. A new addition to the winter concert, the women's ensemble, made up of fifteen women, sang two holiday songs. I really enjoy singing with this group of people, said Janice Sawatsky, a member of the women's ensemble. Many of the choir members competed in solowensemble contests at Moundi Westonka in April. I have learned a lot from Mrs. Holmberg and competing, said sophomore Select Choir member, Ted Hesse. CONCERT CHOIR: Front Row: H. Austin, P. Rattanasinh, C. Carrigan, T. Anderson, I. Sklenicka, M.

Change in Direction Enhances Chambers like the way our group com- municates with each other while we sing, said junior Lisa Augustinack about Chamber Singers. This twenty-three member ensemble worked on many pieces to prepare for holiday concerts and school and community affairs. Chamber Singers, as well as the entire vocal program, underwentt numerous changes brought about by Richard Kloos' successor, Paula Holmberg. In the past juniors and seniors in Select Choir were the only candidates to audition for Chamber Singers. Due to a lack of male members in choir, Holmberg asked four sophomores into the group. Another change involved giving credit for the class. Holmberg said, Chamber Singers are a delight to work with because of their 11' I During one of their Moriarty, Ted Hesse an 106 - Chamber Singers a Waiting for a signal to cut off, Laura Weinzetl and Heidi Fuhrmann look to Holmberg for direction. advanced musicianship and pleasant personalities. Attired in teal dress formals and black tuxedos, Chamber Singers presented a fashionable show. They performed at Riverplace and the Golden Valley Country Club, as well as several nursing homes and shopping malls. For the Homecoming cor- onation, however, they surprised the faculty and students by dressing in fifties style clothing singing Who Put the Bop and When I Fall in Love. They were also featured December 17 in an aIl-school presentation prior to winter break. Selec- tions, chosen by Holmberg, ranged from madrigal to contemporary to vocal jazz. Andy Saumer's favorite piece was the King Singers Jingle Bells because, Even though it was the most challenging piece, it was the most rewarding to perform. many hours of practice, tenors Shawn Simonson, Pat d Mike Adams sing What Is This Fragrance. .- Being a major component in the Chamber Singers' success, Paula Holmberg discusses arrangements for a Holiday concert.

Chamber Singers - 107 Halls Come Alive With Sounds of Music onductor James Berg de- scribed the 55-member or- chestra as enthusiastic peo- ple who enjoy playing good music. Since the string section: violins, Violas, cellos, and basses, was the only section scheduled for eighth hour class, Berg worked mainly with them until three weeks before a concert, when the woodwinds, brass, and percussion sec- tions were asked to come to rehearsals in order to put together the music for the concert. a The orchestra performed on several occasions, beginning with Homecoming Coronation. The orchestra also perform- ed at a Winter and Spring Concert with the other bands. The District Vocal and Orchestra Festival and the District 281 Orchestra Festival highlighted the performing season. The District Vocal and Or- chestra Festival combined the choirs and orchestras of Cooper and Arm- strong. They performed the Schubert Mass in G Major. The District e281 Or- chestra Festival consisted of all or- chestra students from elementary school to the senior high schools. All students performed together, with younger students playing easier parts, written out by the directors. The second semester orchestra students saw the birth of the Chamber Orchestra, comprised of Violas, violins, cellos, and basses. Many members of the orchestra par-I ticipated in the Region 6AA Solo and Ensemble Contest, which occurred in the spring. The soloists and ensembles prepared music which they presented to judges. The judges critiqued them and awarded some of the performers stars for superior performances. Some students extended their musical interests beyond class participation. Or- chestra students, Kris Lindberg, Lisa Luther, Kris Pakonen, Chuck Johnson, Tammy Johanson, and Gerald Mimick participated in the top symphony of the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony. Others participated in the orchestra for the musical which required many hours of donated time. ORCHESTRA: Front Row: G. Mimick, S. Gorse, D. Shufelt, T. Johnson, K. Pakonen, K. Lindberg, L. Wald, A.

All of the half-time shows were designed and written by adviser, Thompson, with the exception of the last show, called the Senior Show, which was designed and directed by senior band members. Each haIf-time show had a different theme prepared by Thompson, such as Pep Band Favorites, i'Liberty Weekend, and Showtime.

The Jazz Band consisted of brass, saxophone, and rhythm sections. Any accomplished musician in the other bands who played one of these in- struments could be in Jazz Band, which rehearsed twice during the week and after school every Friday. The Jazz Band played at the Snow Bags pep fest, and band concerts, an accompanied the band on its an- nual band trip this year to Winnipeg, Canada, during Memorial Day weekend. Most of the band members were experienced musicians. Almost everyone in Jazz Band had had at least five years of musical instruction. Student participation in Jazz Band was voluntary. The Jazz Band rarely attracted people with little musical experience due to the difficulty of the music. As Thompson said, The music is not easy.

The change was made so that the Marching Band could participate and compete in the Lion's Parade in Winnipeg, Canada, during the Memorial Day weekend. In order to pay for the tri , band members sold Hap- penings boo 5, fruit, and Cheese. The band provided students with the opportunity to develop musical talents; due to the varied ability or the musicians, the three main bands, Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Concert Band directed by Thompson, and Concert Wind Ensemble directed by Don Spangler gave an outlet for each ability level. In order to par- ticipate, students must have at least a year's ex erience, though most band members ave been playing an instrument since fifth grade. In order to be placed in the select bands, Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Concert Wind Ensemble, students audi- tioned, the most skillful being placed in S mphonic Wind Ensemble. The Sym- phonic Band, in addition to its regular per- formances, participates in the RegionaVState Large Group Music Con- test. Its members are also encouraged to participate in the Region 6AA Solo and Ensemble Contest, since Thompson re- quires a solo for a fourth quarter grade.

Band-113 Dancers Gain Spirit fter starting the year with twenty-five girls, the danceline slowly declined to thirteen dancers. Conflicting attitudes between the girls caused the drop in numbers. Suzy Merwin and Linda Fahlin became captains mid-season after Myra Malmberg and Pam Morgan left the line. We were sorry to see the girls go, but it made those of us on the squad closer. said Kelly Erickson. Filled with many performances, the Cooperettes' season kept the dancers very busy. They performed at five home football games, five pepfests, five parades, and the Marching Band con- cert. They also performed during the summer at the Terrace Mall. The Cooperettes competed in four dance competitions and five parades. They placed third at a contest at the University of Wisconsin Stout in Menomonie and won first place in the Crosby Parade during the summer. The danceline practiced for two hours every morning starting at 6:00 during the summer, and every morning before school. Adviser Judy Fahlin also attend- ed these practices. The practices seemed to get earlier and earlier every day, said Vickie Benson. During the practices, the girls learned and choreographed their own routines. When making a dance the captains took ideas from all of the dancers and incor- porated them into the routines. Then the dancers learned, practiced, and polished the dances. It takes us about five practices to make up a routine, said Erickson. To raise the money necessary for con- test entries and the materials for costumes which they made themselves, they worked at fundraising all year. They started by selling candy and flowers and highlighted the year with the annual Jack-of-Hearts dance during Snow Days week. COOPERETTES: Front Row: S. Merwin, T. Figueroa, S. Renz, K. Erickson, D.

The A-squad also went to camp at the University of Minnesota to lllearn new cheers, mounts, and gymnastic s l s. For greater spirit, the football and soccer squads joined as one. It was a neat change to cheer two sports in one season, said Kris Lason. Captains for the fall squad were Jeri Johnson and Tara Johnson, while Jodi Lehmann and Lori Soderberg led the basket- ball squad; Amy Blake and Debbie Drum: mond oversaw the wrestlinE squad; and Jeri Johnson and Vicki Schne captained the hockey squad. The B-squad, made up of sophomores. had two different squads, one cheering fall and one cheering winter sports. I like having the chance to cheer in the fall and be involved in something else during the winter, said Amy Heywood, member of the B-squad. Because uniforms and accessories cost z considerable amount, the cheerleaders sponsored many fundraisers, such as the Mistletoe Dance and the flower sale for Valentine's Day. The cheerleaders spent many schoo nights together making goodlucker signs for the games to get the crowd going. An ie Ness said, Cheerleading becomes really ur when the crowd has fun cheering for the players; and we all have a good time working, together. 1 FALL SQUAD: K. Tessman, C. Pounds, J. Cambell, C.

At try outs, Jeanene Howard, adviser, made an unusual change by adding John Larson, co-captain, and Troy Zeismer, making the team co-ed. Many people think it is a change for the better. I think it is really neat that guys can express their school spirit without being in sports, said senior Meg O'Reilly. Larson and Zeismer have developed and executed the idea of using signs to indicate to the crowd which cheer to do and to support the team with crowd cheers. Howard said, I really enjoy work- ing with John and Troy. They have great potential. The squad consisted of six very spirited people: three seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore. Amy Rumpza said, It is fun when the crowd shares the spirit with you. I enjoy seeing people join in, said Chris Besch. The mascots cheer at football, soccer, and basketball, and wrestling meets. I think it's great because you can get radical and no one cares, said Andersson in a show of spirit. The mascots appreciated the school sup- port of the teams and the encouragement of the crowds. It is a nice change from the typical yelling I always hear at the games; they really seem to enjoy themselves! said junior Adam Lee. The mascot squad brought a new meaning to the word spirit. -o Lurking beneath this costume, there may be a male mascot, something new to Robbinsdale Cooper's spirit squad. 960ng HAWKS I MASCOTS: John Larson, Chris Besch, Janelle Andersson, Michelle McOmie. 120 e Mascots Silks Change Their Look ilks, also known as flag twirlers, performed at several pepfests, sports events, and at the Marching Band Concert. Co-captains Kim Newman and Angie Gibson added dance movements and difficulty to the routines. In order to do this, the squad practiced every day dur- ing seventh hour and often found it necessary to schedule additional ses- sions before and after school. All the other silks agreed with Newman when she said, It's been hard work, but it's really been worth it. They each contributed ideas for the routines, but the captains made final decisions concerning what went into the routines. Because all nine girls on the squad were new to flag twirling, they pur- chased new flags and uniforms. To pay for these the silks sold candy, flowers, and warm fuzzies as fundraisers. .- Angie Gibson executes a behind-the-back twirl during the Homecoming pep fest.

These students gave up their free periods to help keep everything running smoothly in the main office, the language lab, the Counselin and Career Center, the Audio Visua Department, the band room, and the Media Center. Aides in the main office checked at- tendance cards, filed tard notices, sorted teachers' mail, distriguted and wrote up absentee lists, and ran errands. Having a little more influence than the rest 0 the students on how the school was run was one of their many privileges. The aides had a much harder Job than most thought. As receptionist Jeanne Pribnow said, The aides do a lot of work; we couldn't have gotten along without them.

Aides in the Counseling and Career center answered phone calls from fran- tic parents, took and delivered messages, filed passrfail slips, and made counseling appointments for anxiety- stricken students. Audio-visual aides delivered the all- important tapes, films, and filmstrips, along with the necessary mechanical equi ment for their use. These were use to enhance the usual classroom scene. Band aides copied missing music pieces and placed them in the correct folders, hel ing band director Roger Thompson ree himself from details so that he could devote more time to directing. They also helped by running errands and organizin fund raisers, such as Happenings ooks and fruit sales. Media Center aides distributed movies and magazines, as well as ta es for such classes as Humanities.

Storkamp Work Adds ExpeHence tudents in co-op groups had education both in and out of school. The program was an ex- ample of business-school part- nership in education. There were four cooperative educa- tion clubs in which students participated according to their interests: DECA tDistributive Education Club of Americai, OE tOffice Experiencei, Hl8xT tHeaIth Industries 8! Technologyi, and HEART tHome Economics and Related Trainingi. The most active of the cooperative education clubs was DECA, advised by Tom Gagnon. The club consisted of students interested in marketing. DECA sponsored Casino Night during Homecoming. DECA also sponsored 600-1000 senior citizens in the com- munity to attend a free performance of the musical, and refreshments after the show. During open hours in the com- mons and after school, the club ran the school store. It's really handy to grab a snack before basketball practice, said senior J. Nathan White. OE Club, advised by Barb Storkhamp, trained students in careers such as clerical, office bookkeeping, banking, and secretarial tmedical and Iegali. Ex- perience with computer technology was also offered. There were contests held at regional, state, and national levels. These contests were in such areas as bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand.

Outside these clubs, students became involved in leadership and service throughout the community. The main purpose of the clubs, as ex- plained by Gagnon: To become con- scious 0f the needs of their community, to develop ethical skills, and to develop leadership skills. .- T 1 Chris Hanson helps Eric Marsh make change in the school store after school.

Since the school required social courses, and all students must take the same courses, the teachers must find ways to make the class appealing. American History, the class taken by sophomores, studied the development and struggles of our country from its beginning through the 1970's. American History teachers Marge Ferris, Stu Stockhaus, a former district coordinator, and Chuck Anderson make the class interesting with dif- ferent approaches. Shannon Tearle said, An otherwise boring class is enlivened by Mr. Anderson's sense of humor. I like to learn, but the tests are hard, said Ruth Morris of her Western Civilizations class. The tests covered ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek history. Covering the U.S.S.R., China, India and Africa in W.A.S. filled the other half of the junior year. Seniors participated in Government class to learn about voting rights and the political system. Economics explained one's economic role as an adult, and taxes, hous- ing, money and current events. Shelly Sut- terer said, Econ is a typically boring social class. The Social Department offered two popular elective courses, World Religions and Psychology. Gene Huiskin, who teaches the class, said, World Religions is designed to promote a greater understanding of other religious beliefs, and not to change students' current beliefs. The class studied two basic religions, Christianity and Judaism, as well as a student selected option. Connie Lantz said, Psychology helps me under- stand why people act the way they do. Through demonstrations and experiments Psychology explores the inner realm of the mind. Social Studies - 131 h ; h 0 I I I h try 1 Piyanouth Rattanasinh is confused about her Algebra topics problem which Dick Juba has gladly of-r fered to explain in the Math Resource Room. Takes on New Dimension ew geometry books dis- rupted the placid existence of the Math Department. The books received mixed reviews from the math teachers, but overall, the reception was favorable. Geometry teacher Caryl Bugge, excited and enthusiastic about the books, said, The books have wonderful diagrams, multi-colored pictures, ideas for careers, computer programs, and a wide range of problem difficulty. Hib Hill and Gret- chen Wilhelm agreed and added that they liked the way the book introduced proofs immediately and provided self- check tests. Another geometry teacher, Chuck Tabor, held an opposing view. He believed the book encouraged too many shortcuts before students really understood what they were doing. As for the students' view of the books, I like the book because it is new, colorful, the work is in- teresting, and I am into sha es. p eErikJohnson senior Laura Abel summed up the popular opinion by saying, It's a good book, but as for weekend reading? The books were only part of an at- tempt by the Math Department to ad- vance their technology. The department also received nine Apple computers to add to their Pets and Commodores. Despite all the changes, some traditions remained. As in the past, the Math Resource Room, full of energy from frenzied students, continued to be haven for those seeking help with any math class, from geometry to calculus. -.

Mathematics e 133 Projects Catapult Into Physics Labs atapults are more than medieval weapons of destruction. Students in Bob Barton's and Paul Hetchler's Physics courses built catapults, bridges, rubber cars, whizzers, and Rube Goldber machines as practical applications of ysics. Bar- ton judged the catapults lbr accuracy and tested the bridges by adding weights onto them until they broke. The rub er cars, powered entirely b rubber bands, raced to see which coul travel 5 meters in the fastest time. Some traveled the entire distance, others did not. Of the ones that made it, many took a long time. Some raced to the finish line but left the ground, which dis ualified them. One sped the entire istance, then reversed and returned all the way back to the start. Whizzers, powered only by 9 volt batteries, climbed up a wire stretched across the classroom. A Rube Goldberg machine is a set of equipment that does a simple job in a very complicated way, like lighting a candle by droppin a weight that hits a spring which launc es a knife. The knife cuts the wire to a mouse cage. The mouse runs out of the cage, jumps off a platform, lands on a seesaw with a match attached to one end. The match strikes a rock, ignites and lights the candle. The teachers used these projects as publicity stunts, ho ing to draw more peo le into their Physics courses. The stu ents enjoyed the challenge of com- pleting the projects and competing with their peers. Some used devious tricks that barely followed the rules, like rub- ber cars that were actually fast airplanes weighted down so they would not take off. One student said, It is a lot of fun to figure out sneaky ways of doing thin 5 within the rules that other people would not dream of. Al Schober and John Deno complete- ly revamped the Chemistry tests. Because of thievery in previous years, students were iven only a uarter test, which was bot a book an a lab test. Throughout the quarter, they took numerous pop quizzes, instead of the old chapter tests. The Chemistry teachers also issued more assignments in the Media Center Computer Lab. Students learned and practiced general concepts on the com- Buters. Some liked the computers ecause they helped them to under- stand chemistry better, and they could make mistakes and correct themselves; one student considered them a waste of time. More dedicated to Chemistry than some students, a rat that escaped from the 1985-'86 Enriched Chemistr class was found still alive in the fal. Deno said, He must have survived by eating our candles and rubber tubing. He was really big and healthy when we found him. The Biology courses did not change very much. Durin the dissections, students ex resse varied opinions about what t ey were doing. RuthAnne Polensky said, This is disgusting. However, Shell McDonough said, I think it is fun, and Rachel Beaty, in reference to the crayfish she was taking apart, said, He's kinda cute. Barton also taught Astronomy and Futures 2000. He said the Futures 2000 course, made people aware that the world we are living in is chan ing at an ever-increasing rate. He trie to teach students to realize the im ossibility of kee ing up with all of the c anges in our world, to appreciate logical methods of predicting the future, and to cope with the forecasts of doom: nuclear war, famine, a poisoned planet, and murder. Teachers tried to maximize learning abilities with three different methods of presenting material: lectures, audio- visuals and labs. Students who saw the world and wanted to understand it took the courses.

Being able to read, write, listen, and speak articulately are impor- tant in our communication-oriented society, said Fran Zabel who taught Basic English and British Literature courses. In addition to the usual English classes required for each student, many liked taking classes other than the tradi- tional literature and composition classes. Some of these popular, en- joyable classes included Mass Media, Film Study, Creative Writing, Humanities, and Television Production. Humanities, a popular course for all who signed up for it, became the highlight of those students' day because of its interesting subject matter which made students delve into history, art, politics,literature, theater, culture, and themselves. However, the announce- ment that teacher Neal Luebke planned to retire before the end of the first semester disappointed many. It was a loss to everybody to find out about Un- cle Neal's retirement. He will be greatly missed, said Meg O'Reilly. Not only was Luebke an outstandin teacher, but he also co-directed musica s, and edited the parent's newsletter, The Bridge. John Norton, a retired Humanities teacher from Armstrong, and a former Cooper teacher, filled in to finish first semester. Second semester found Jon Umhoefer, who had taught in the district for a number of years, replacing -. lntensely listening, Deanna Werner and Kari McKelvey try to comprehend the number of poems that they must write for their Creative Writing class. 136 - Communications Luebke. . The Television Production class taught by Harvey Weiss, covered all aspects of producing television pro- grams. Although students received only elective credit for the course which met everyday, they enjoyed the class because of its topic and size,which in- cluded only 15-20 students. Weiss hoped to make the course an English credit. He said, This class is worthwhile because students realize what television production involves. They come to see that all these glitzy programs on major networks involve lots of money and high technology, some of which we hope to acquire soon. In addition to these two changes in classes and curriculum, many teachers anxiously awaited to see what effect the Advanced Placement Program had on students. Since its conception and in- corporation into the curriculum three years ago, the pro ram received much support from teac ers, students, and parents. The teachers were especially interested in the senior class because it was the first class to have had a chance to be involved in the program all three years of its existence. This meant that many of the students took AP American Literature, AP World Literature, AP Col- lege Composition, and AP British Literature. Julie Rue?15egger summed up her feel- ings about er Communication courses by saying, My English courses have broadened my perspective of life and have helped me develop a deeper understanding of the world around me.

Of ering courses in three languages, the Foreign Language Depart- ment opened doors to new cultures to the students. They focused on gaining cultural experiences and reaching a proficiency level of the language. The German classes, tau ht by Melissa Doerr, consisted of five casses ran ing from Level I to V, and an indepen ent study class for the Level VI students. The classes participated in many events, such as visiting a German restaurant and com- peting in the State German Festival. In September, they received sixteen German students from their sister school in Munich, Nymphenburger Gymnasium. Cooper students also visit Germany during the summer vacation every two years, with next summer being their next visit. The students also did a special job of sending goods to an East German family and took a day off to enjoy German cook- ing, the traditional bratwurst and sauerkraut. Meanwhile, French observed a staff face lift, with Ruth Anderson retiring and Jan unnw 'tW-uw va'a' ,, a . o: M M a a ya a iv: gnaw, JO8445,R003.P139 Classes Gain Culture Phelan moving to the Special Ed Depart- ment, greeting Mark Mertens and Donna Dombrock as the new teachers. The five French classes especially enjoyed listening to French music, and going to Rhinocerus at the Guthrie. the AVous Ia Parole took place again for French students to compete against others and gain more practice. Spanish, instructed by Bob Labudd and Laurel Ze e a, also consisted of five classes an levels. They produced Spanish dialogue videos to improve their speech performance and often viewed filmstrips on Spanish culture. Every year they spon- sor a trip to a Spanish speaking country, offering a memorable experience to the students. Labudd said, Whatever your in- terests are, foreign language has it for you. All classes, Spanish, German, and French, obtained many cultural ex- periences throughout the year with their fundraised money, made by selling candles. German student Jean Fellbaum said, Learning a foreign language is great.

Foreign Language -- 139 140wArt Art Melds s awareness of the importance of art education increased, the Art Department offered painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, and com- mercial design to develop visual literacy. Visual literacy entailed the develop- ment of techniques and skills used in comprehending visual input and transforming that information into in- dividual creations. The process of visualizing the product to be created in- volved three steps: discrimination, observing an object to replicate; ap- plication, decidin what shelhe is going to use to create tine object; and resolu- tion, being satisfied with how the original object was represented. If the instructor is satisfied, the creation will be displayed. The Media Center contained some exhibited student creations. Chris Con- nell said, It's gratifying to see your wor up on a wall for others to see. Hennepin County Government Center and District 281 Central Office also sponsored student art shoWs. According to teachers Ron Chagnon and Brian Grott, growing awareness of art education and a lack of a unified cur- riculum resulted in a decision to revise the art curriculum throughout the district. The revision will be based on the incorporation of a textbook over the next three years starting at the junior high level and having sequential lessons to build a course study instead of an open studio format. This will be a dif- ficult change for those used to a freer atmosphere. I Corey Hels creates the effect he desires by using watercolor.

When other ac- tivities dissipate, music lives on. It is a great emotional outlet and can be enjoyed by all, performer or listener alike, said the choir director, Paula Holmberg. Musicians were offered op- portunities to participate in bands, choirs, or- chestra, and music theory. In addition to these musical opportunities, many students took part in musical activities outside of school. For example, ten students were members of Greater Twin Cities Youth Sym- phonies, others belonged to rock bands, some of which performed for Homecoming Week. A few students were members of the University of Minnesota AIl-Metro High School Honors Choir, others belonged to an AIl-State organization, and in addition to these, many students taught private lessons to beginning elementary instrumentalists. Holmberg added her teaching and con- ducting abilities to the Music Department. She directed all the choirs. According to Margie Estlund, She added a new zest for life in all that the choirs did. She was willing to turn somersaults for us! When one of the three choirs, Concert, Select, and Chamber Singers, was not keeping her busy, she just ll started a new one. Two of these groups, the Women's Chorus and the Bell Choir practic- ed before and after school twice a week, and both performed at the Winter Concert. Choir was an outlet for many students, and was a class that was looked forward to. Chris Con- nelly said, After my Humanities class, choir released my stress and became a high-point of my day. The bands were under the direction of Don Spangler and Roger Thompson. The Marching Band, perhaps the most well- known by the students, aided the football season by entertaining the crowd through half-time. During second hour, theJazz Band practiced many upbeat tunes which were presented at their Winter Concert. The other bands, Concert Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, and Symphonic Wind Ensemble fulfill- ed the requirements and needs of each in- dividual instrumentalist. For those in Sym- phonic Band who wanted even more of a challenge, they were eligible for being a member of the orchestra. James Berg, orchestra director, was im- pressed with the amount of talent found throughout the orchestra. They performed a broad range of music from the processional and pop music for the Homecoming Corona- tion, to the classical works of Rossini and i M usser Beethoven. The All-District Orchestra Festival was held in April on the same day as the Solo and Ensemble Contest, both important events to a student in or- chestra. Violinist Kristina Pakonen said, Music is something that is never perfect. One must always strive to make it better. This is what makes it a challenge. Music Theory, also taught by Berg, gave reasons to music students for the fun- damental elements of music, its rules of composition, and how these are all used to compose a balanced piece of music. Dave Osterhus, a theory student, said, Theory is really a challenging course, but things begin to make sense and give answers to the questions about music that I used to have. Why should one take music courses? According to Don Spangler, it is so that one can become an intelligent consumer of music. Berg explained that it is worthwhile because, It is the only activi- ty which uses both sides of the brain at the same time. This means that a musician uses both the left and right brain. Brenda Jahnke, however, put it in her own terms, Music was my life, music is my life, music will be my life. T Chris Potter practices good breath support while carefully watching the conductor.

Musicw 141 Puetz Lands in Gym he Physical Education Depart- ment saw a change with the ad- dition of Wally Puetz. After teaching at Plymouth Junior High since 1968, math teacher Puetz was stranded at Cooper in his se- cond field. The transition from math was a piece of cake, he said. When they cooperate, it is a real neat job, but it is frustrating when they do not. He hopes that he can let the students feel good about themselves and provide an activity for everyone to enjoy. Unlike past years when only some ac- tivities were coeducational, the re uired sophomore physical education casses were integrated for all. Puetz said it was challenging to make the activities suitable for both boys and girls. For the most part, sophomores en'oyed gym. Jennifer Fischer said, I kind oflike the class. It gives me a break from thinking. Chad Jossart con- sidered the class a challenge. Steve Hopke and Dorothy Jacobson taught the elective courses. The Out- 2;. WW door Education class was not offered, even though the teachers considered it an important class. The electives offered e- Team Sports, Racquet Sports, and Dance ' and Recreation Team 5 orts - mainly at- tracted seniors, althou h some juniors did participate. Hopke oped that there would be enough diversified electives to attract students, and he enjoyed teaching only the electives because of the maturi- ty of the seniors. Students took gym for many unor- A thodox reasons. Senior Tara Johnson said, Racquet S orts gets my mind away from school, an there are lots of guys in the class. A very true statement considering she was one of only three girls in that class. Man students like gym as an easy credit, while others took it more seriously. Another senior, Scott Lennartson, cor- nered in the middle of an intensive bad- minton game, said, I use the class to take my aggressions out on the birdie and just have some fun.

Along with CPR, the three Health instructors, Jim Knight, Dorothy Jacobson, and Ray Cosky, taught mental health, nutrition and fitness, chemical dependency, human sexuality, and diseases. Their main goals, however, focused on maintaining personal values and helping students cope with stress. The subject is sup- posed to help students learn about their body and mind, because each person is responsible for his or her own health, said Jacobson. In the classrooms, students learned new materials by viewing filmstrips, reading textbooks, and often listening to speakers. They wrote and presented health projects on illnesses and the various parts of the body. Some teachers also required students to turn in news articles on health, dealing with specific subjects they studied. Throughout the year, the department tried to keep up with recent developments and ways to vary their teaching formats. AIDS made up one of the rather new areas of diseases studied, while changes also occurred in CPR techniques. The first step in helping a choking person changed from asking, Can you speak? to Are you chok- ing? The Heimlich maneuver also dif- fered in that it no longer required back blows, but only chest thrusts. There may also be a chance that two-person CPR might be omitted from the course. Altogether, the thirteen Health classes, made up mostly of sophomores, focused their attention on learning about themselves. Jacobson said, Teaching health is important. It is about you, and it pertains to each individual.

The variety of classes offered includes photography, woods, metals, machines, electronics, drafting and auto shop. An addition to the Photography and Graphics Department, Dale Kreitz replaced Bob Lorentzen. Kreitz, a former Armstrong teacher, said, Cooper students are down to earth. He also said, I like the accountability of the attendance system, compared to the other schools he has taught in his 25 years in the district. In past years, women did not enroll in Industrial Education courses, but senior Connie Hendricks said, I thought cabinet making would be an interesting change from my other classes. Many other courses attracted women as well as men. One of the more popular classes for both was Know Your Car. 144 e Industrial Education Essential , Skills Taught l I ssential lifetime skills are learned in the Home Economics Department, said Child Development teacher Elaine Jordan. Skills such as rela- tionships, sewing, cooking, and in- dependent living were taught to students to prepare them for life on their own. Foods classes, divided into leisure and advanced, began with basics such as bread baking and continued through full meal preparation. Senior Vicki Schnell said of her foods experience, It has been very useful learning how to put together a meal. Relationships taught about interac- tions with oneself, parents, peers, and teachers. Senior Michelle Charbonneau said, I learned to recognize my social and intellectual abilities. In Child Development, Jordan's students learned to better understand and care for children by running a play- school for preschoolers. Junior Vicky Moody said, I learned more about my- self when I worked with the Children. Clothing Construction taught students how to repair their clothes as well as create new wardrobes to fit their lifestyles. Helping students move out of their parents' house and survive on their own was taught in the Independent Living course. Students learned skills such as balancing a checkbook, handling bills, shopping for groceries, acquiring hous- ing, and purchasing a car. i Janyce Hoefer mixes assorted chopped nuts TKelsey looks on as Vicky Moody tries to entertain her with various puppets. before sprinkling them on a dessert. Home Economics e 145 Business Renovates ow times change. It was not long ago that business peo- ple used primitive adding machines or their fingers twell, not reallyl to do their work. Com- puters, which used to exist only in TV shows like The letsons, replaced all of this with speed that would dazzle the people of yesteryear. The Business Department added many new com- puters to its classrooms and taught all keyboarding classes on computers as well as typewriters. The beginning Ac- counting l students used computers to do their work. They found the com- puters easier than doing everything by hand, but it took awhile to get started; and one disgruntled student even claimed these speed demons were real slow. Most students liked the com- puters for typing because of automatic correction and claimed they were faster than typewriters. With this background experience many of them used the computers for writing papers in their English classes; but some students did not like the computers. Being ac- customed to the typewriters, they had a hard time switching between the two and getting used to all of the extra things the computers could do. The Marketing I class expanded with a greater emphasis on entrepreneurship. Students worked with Rick Kiley, a marketing director from General Mills, who team-taught along with class teacher Tom Gagnon. They learned the practical side of marketing from their General Mills teacher who gave them real life examples of what they were studying and how it related to actual business. The end result of all of this was a student business. Gagnon said, They promote, run and pay for everything. Although the department modernized with more computers and emphasis on self-employment, the general philos- ophy of the Business Department did not change from past years. According to Addy Murtaugh, The Business Department is devoted to preparing students with job and academic skills for employment and post-secondary education. 146 e Business -1 Peggy Devine and Kelly Johnson type in balance sheet debits and credits during ac- ounting 0n the Business Department's computers. s- Sue Bye tells a Recordkeeping student what she did wrong on her worksheet.

They'd go up to strangers and put their arms around them, said the district's aide who loved working with the students and seeing them gain skills. With two new members on the staff, Ka- ty Perkins and Barb Jollicoer, District 287 helped disabled students perform normal- ly and work in a pleasant atmosphere. Starting in the program as early as age three, students graduate by the age of twenty-one. At Cooper, the ages ranged from fifteen to twenty-one years old. The four classrooms housed a total of thirty students and eleven staff members. Main- ly, the teachers focused their attention on each individual's goals. For example, some students needed help with their behavioral patterns, while others needed to practice their manners or movements. We try to put the kids in a position of needing to express, said Perkins. The schedules of these students con- sisted of a weekly visit to the YMCA for gym and visits to Northland Warehouse, where they participated in the Industrial Training Program, two hours a day, three times a week, while receiving pay. They packaged and boxed holiday candles, while other times they labeled or worked on assembly. Some students competed outside the program working at McDonald's, St. Therese Nursing Home, and Arnolds. In Classrooms, some learned basic academics such as math, time, com- puters, as well as cooking, which the learned in the Home EC rooms. ' Besides the fact that they shared some classrooms with the rest of the school for activities, the district really did not associate much with the student body. District 287 actually consisted of a thirteen-member district, from Osseo to Mound to Robbinsdale. They rented the classrooms from different schools where the students came from. An assistant said, It's like our own little world here. The students, even with their handi- caps, loved to associate with others, and to try different experiences both in and out of school. They feel hurt when kids bump into them or call them names, just as any other human would, said Diane Hayos-Gomez. She added, But they are just a wonderful bunch of kids! TDan Bartle gives the custodians a helping hand while gaining new skills. District 287 - 149 $ at Chocolate Milk Trend Cools Warm Students elcome buildings and lunches of the 1980's! Changing times hit both the custodians and the food services personnel with new- fangled gadgets and eatables. Milk sales soared to new heights with the addition of the extremely popular chocolate milk to the a la carte lunch line. Though many bought chocolate milk with their lunches, some chocolate lovers even-chugged four or more car- tons at one sitting. Larger, more streamlined lunch plates replaced the old, standard round ones, giving hot lunches a more modern look. The nutri- tious salad bar expanded greatly with a new selection of refrigerated items such as macaroni and pea salads. Even with all of these modernizations, the same traditional lunches remained popular. According to Darlene Rasmussen, head of food service, beef fritters attracted the biggest crowd, followed by pizza, spaghetti, tacos, and the fiestada-burrito cOmbination meal. All of these additions plus the old fav- orites were made possible by sixteen people who arrived to prepare food at 7:00 am. every day. They managed to maintain their large menus in spite of hourly cutbacks by working extremely hard; and Rasmussen claimed, For $1.25 the best buy in the whole com- munity is school lunch. 150 - FoodlCustodial Service Modernizations even affected the custodians when they received new computerized heat and air conditioning controls lnot as tasty as chocolate milk, but important nonethelessl for a system that had not changed since Cooper was built in 1969. Every day the Micromizer unit turned heat and air conditioning on and off in every wing of the building and theoretically maintained constant temperatures in all classrooms. The custodians also busily installed wiring for all of the new computers that Cooper purchased. On another level, these building architects converted the old banquet room into two special classrooms for the District 287 students. Generally, the custodial tasks did not change very much. The traditional sweeping jobs continued. They helped kids when their lockers would not open and repaired nearly everything in the building that broke down e ther- mostats, desks, windows, and bathrooms, because as head custodian Harold Bartle put it, Anything man- made is fallible. Vandalism still existed as it always had, but the problem was not terrible. Bartle said, Compared to Armstrong, this is heaven.

FoodtCustodial Service e 151 Secretaries Fulfill Hectic Duties ith phones ringing at fre- quent intervals and peo- ple constantly coming in and out, the office staff kept busy with the day's work. Their tasks included answerin phone calls, checking attendance, an simply giving information and directions to students, aculty, and visitors. Rozie Ellison, the school's book- keeper, took charge of all the financial business. This included keeping track of money from parking lot ermits, lays, fundraisers, and the seling of unch tickets. When kids see me at the shopping centers, they call me the lunch ticket lady. T ey don't even know my real name! said Ellison, commenting upon her ever-present notoriety as the lunch ticket salesperson. The receptionist, Jeanne Pribnow, ex- perienced the second most contacts with the student body. She filled out tar- dy slips and passes, answered questions for students and visitors, and made the school announcements after school. She said, I enjoy working with all of these people even though there are times when it gets rough; but it's never dull. Other secretaries and aides held a variety of res onsibilities. Bonny Sand- gren and Valeelson helped students make ap ointments and supplied infor- mation or them in the Career and Counseling Center, while Pat Shultheis and Eileen Schaeffer worked in the Media Center. In the office, Alice Grev worked as the head secretary as well as Knutson's secretar . Jan Lee as the at- tendance aide, Heren Sutherland as the data processing secretary, and Sally Ton- sager fulfilled the duties of the athletic secretary.

This outlines some background information on G. David Knutson. As the head principal, Knutson was in charge of the school's overall program and calendar. From his past experiences as principal in three different schools, he knew how to manage and carry out his duties for the school, faculty, and students. Knutson said, I've never regret- ted becoming an educator. I like what I do! Among the three assistant principals, the seniors turned to Jerome Jackson for help. Along with leading the Senior Class, his main tasks included scheduling, which he shared with Arlene Breckenridge dur- ing second semester, as well as coor- dinating activities and assembling pepfests. Breckenridge, the school's new assistant principal, returned to Cooper after work- ing previously as a counselor here, and then working at the Central Office. Her duties involved such areas as staff leader- ship, chemical concerns, Prom, and stu- dent government. She also maintained contact with the Junior Class. Breckenridge said about her job, It's very comfortable, even though it is a new position. For the sophomores, John Lloyd took control. He also spent the year planning graduation, handing out honor passes, and dealing with the National Honor Societv. 16. David Knutson takes a moment out of his busy schedule to receive a phone call.

The computer also offered in- formation about out-of-state colleges, their programs and financial aid. Many students used other programs available to study for the SAT and ACT. While the computer increased effi- ciency, the counselors' schedules re- mained very busy. Evening and lunch hours were filled with inquisitive parents and students. Evening meetings on competitive and selective colleges have been well attended, said counselor Peg Sterrett. These additional after hours meetin s were only a frac- tional art of the jo the counselors did to he p students.

The juniors and seniors took ad- vantage of the fact that they didn't know Cathy Ab9l their way around the school, by telling them room 342 was on the 4th floor by the pool. It was tradition to Boo the sophomore cheerleaders, but believe it or not, sophomores made some accomplishments. Nick Fritz, Steve Schaupp, and Tom Simonson played for the boys varsity Andrew Abelson soccer team, while Heidi Wachholz played for the girls varsity soccer team. Susie Kopp was the only sophomore who played for the girls varsity tennis team. She was also the only sophomore that lettered in tennis. The varsity foot- ball team welcomed sophomore Jason Halvorson. Halvorson played until he had the unfortunate accident of fractur- ing his neck vertebrae.

Jason quickly gained skill. A Cooper sophomore, he made the varsity team as a running back, which was quite a feat for someone who had played only two years. Being the only sophomore on the team, Jason said it was hard to adjust because no one knew him, but after a while it became easier. Unfortunately, during a game against Hopkins, an ex- tremely hard tackle fractured the vertebrae in his neck. After he stayed overnight in the hospital, doctors told him his football career was over. Although his thoughts of getting a football scholarship for col- lege were ruined, Jason is looking for- ward to participating in other sports in the future. It is too soon to tell when he will be able to play basketball because his injury is not totally healed, but Halvorson said, I plan on playing baseball in the spring.

New report cards joined the list of sacred institutions undergoing major changes under the present administration. The new cards included +'s and -'s with the exception of an A+. The numerical value of the letter grade changed by a third of a point. For example, a C:2 points. Therefore, a C-:1.67 points. Most sophomores did not seem to mind these grade changes because they would generally balance out in their grade point average. In con- trast the straight A students were op- posed to these Changes because there was no A+ to balance an A-.

Times Pass 'Twixt Classes etween Classes, students divid- ed their time among many ac- tivities. Passing time, as those short five minutes are called, became a period in which students and teachers took care of all unfinished business. Getting to the next class and switching from roomto room took up the majority of time. However, students and teachers did far more than just move themselves from one room to another. Val Nelson, a Guidance secretary, assisted many students wishing to make appointments with their counselors. The Media Center received many books and other Audio-Visual materials and ac- cepted payment of fines on overdue items. Students drop ed off overnight check-out tapes to the Language Lab. Errands such as these were a few of the things that occupied students' time. Conferring with teachers about various problems from test scores to detention also took up much of those five minutes; but by far the most popular thing to do during passing time was to visit one's locker and then stop and talk to friends on the way to class. As Kendra Reynolds put it, Passing time is the only time during the day when I get to talk to my friends.

Hi h sc ool students from throughout t e state ran the capitol for three days in January. Ansari served in the House of Representatives as vice president. In ninth grade, Ansari was vice presi- dent of personnel in Junior Achieve- ment, a program designed to learn about American business. During his sophomore year, he participated in cross country. He also won third place in the extemporaneous speaking category of Declamation. Ansari became involved in this because he wanted to improve his public speaking ability. He also took an acting course at Macalester under the direction of Frank Plut during the summer of his junior year. Ansari joined the Hoofers at the same time, resulting in him being able to perform in London. He became in- terested in joinin the Hoofers because he thought it wou d be fun and was real- ly excited about it. As a junior, he also participated in soccer, playing on the junior varsity team. He also worked on the newspaper Staff, writing for the news ISinging with expression, Omar Ansari performs a number with the Hoofers. section.

She attended Celsius Gymmasium which she said she enjoyed very much, altl 3ugh she missed Cooper's school spirit. Chi in said that the two schools shared one :0: mon feature: The school food there Wa: just as awful. While living in Sweden, Choin met some 'sk n heads, and said, They are no dif- fen nt from the average person. She and her newfound friends attended a crayfish par y, where everyone was to eat crayfish. Cht in disliked the idea at first, but tried it, anc said it really wasnit all that bad. Aithough her mother taught her the Swedish Language, Choin still found it dif- icult sometimes to communicate with the Swedes. She would sometimes get irustrated, but still she tried and learned. She ndul ed in letters she received from her rien s, which were written in English. The etters provided a break from Swedish.

Seniors, juniors, and sophomores all found activities in which to partake, but juniors seemed to be most involved. Sophomores, after all, had the difficult task of adjusting to senior high life, of learning to be a small fish in a big pond, rather than a big fish in a small pond, a lifestyle enjoyed in junior high. Planning for the future preoccupied the minds ofthe seniors. Juniors, adjusted to high school, yet still far enough away from graduation, took on the busiest schedules. Whether it be music, athletics, drama, or employ- ment, many juniors involved themselves in extra activities. This involvement not only enriched the lives of the involved students, but also other people in the school and community as well. Several students exemplified the ideal of the in- volved student. Several students played for athletic teams. Playing more than one varsity sport demanded very large amounts of time. Ted Harrison kept himself busy by playing varsity football, basketball, and track. He lettered in all three sports. Joe -. Resting in between plays, Ted Harrison listened to the next play in the big game against Armstrong. 192 - Feature Sundeen played hockey and soccer. Chris Butterfield not only goal tended for the hockey team, but also played with a punk band that took a trip over spring break. Students got involved in activities other than athletics as well. Katy Tessman earned academic honors while taking a heavy course load including Humanities, a class usually taken by seniors. Tessman also worked on the yearbook staff and was a cheerleader during the fall. In addition, she acted in the musical and managed lights for the Hoofers. Her involvement did not end with school, however. Tessman sang with three choirs, earned money for col- lege working at the Holiday Inn, and en- joyed her favorite hobby, swimming, keeping her skills as a certified life guard fine-tuned. Another example of the involved junior, Ben Jacobson, made school his second home. Jacobson put in long hours working as head of the lighting crew. Having been a foreign exchange student himself, Jacobson used his ex- periences to aid him in his duties as president of the World Citizens Club. He also worked in the A.V. departmert at school and was a member of not only Select Choir, but the ultra-select Chamber Singers, as well. In additior, Jacobson enjoyed several hobbies, ir- cluding photography and fishing, anl worked for Service Master to earn money for his international travels. Another busy junior, Stephanie Hawes, listed music and dance among her activities. A member of both syrr- phonic and jazz bands, Hawes spert many hours practicing to play as first Chair saxophone. She also spent many hours practicing her public speaking techniques as an outstanding member of the declamation program and a representative for the Student Council. Taking dance lessons at the Dance Shoppe helped Hawes get dancing parts in the school musical, as well. Finally, she worked at North Memorial Hospital to earn money for college. While these were by no means the only busy students, they were examples of some of the more involved. Whether practicing a sport, a speech, a song, or studying a subject, the juniors did not waste time.

In this program they chanced to leave their protected school environments to peek into real-world career employment. A mentorship allowed a student to choose a particular field helshe was interested to go into and work there at least eight hours a week on a project in that field. These students worked with the professionals in their chosen field so that they got the true idea of what this career would be like. Nicole Fosse was one of the students that chose a mentorship program. Nicole was interested in psychology, and she chose a mentorship program with Golden Valley Mental Health Center. Here Nicole was exposed to the many areas of psychology during her junior year. When talking about her mentorship program, Nicole said, Why not get an idea of what psychology would be like now instead of waiting for when I have to pay money in college. Nicole felt her experience was very valuable. From her experience she has found out that there are many different areas of psychology, and she will have to decide which area she wants to go in- to. Nicole felt that her mentorship has not only better prepared her for college INicole Fosse suddenly finds an idea for her mentorship project. but also for the real world.

At ossard ins Prize either rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail shall keep these carriers from their appointed rounds. Who is this carrier that battles the elements to bring the news of death and destruction, joy and hope? This knight in shining raincoat is Harold Gossard. Harold started his paper route five years ago. He began with one route which he worked Monday through Sunday. Gaining speed and accuracy, Gossard is now delivering over 200 papers in a 34-block radius. Harold devoted four hours every weekend to his duties. Like all students, Gossard felt the squeeze of money. His parents suggested that he should get a job. With his route, Gossard makes eight dollars an hour which equals approximately $260 a month. Through Gossard's hard work and devotion to early hours, Harold achieved the honor of being Carrier of the Year. He was chosen by his district manager out of his zone. Along with Gossard, ten other people were named from around the state. At a banquet held at the Radisson South, Gossard received a certificate of his achieve- ment. A statue was given to his parents who also received free tickets to the dinner. With the combined earnings from his route and job at the Sunshine Factory, Harold has bought a VCR, a waterbed, a sheltic, a TV, four bikes, and supplied his spending money for a few trips the family has taken. Gossard plans to continue his route through high school but plans to keep his job at the Sun- shine Factory after he graduates.

Rocks any students at RCHS played in bands, usually one of three st les, either Pop, Hard Roc , or Punk music. Chris Butterfield played in a punk band named P.D.A., or Parental Discretion Advised. His band consists of a drummer, two uitarists, and a lead singer. Butterfield ayed the electric bass, Dan Holen, t e drums, Ron Johnson, lead guitar, and Jim Swan- son sang lead vocals. Sean Holt wrote most of the band's lyrics, but each band member wrote his own part for his instrument. The band formed during Homecom- ing and practices three to four times a week for three or four hours per session in Chris's basement. Chris said, Most people look upon punkers as strange or weird because of their different styles. Punk is not the styles of clothing you wear, it's your outlook on life. Some punkers dress the way they do for atten- tion or to get back at their parents, although most of them do it to show they're not like everyone else. Punkers think for themselves. In the various cli- ues, one or two individuals think for t emselves while everybody else just imitates them. Butterfield got involved in his band for several reasons. First of all, he liked Funk music and the accompanying ifestyle. He already knew how to play the guitar and wanted an outlet for his skill. He also saw it as a way to earn money.

Although Hyland occupied her time with these activities, she still had time to keep her part-time job as a waitress at K.Wong's take out restaurant. Hyland's favorite pastime was tennis. Due to her friends' and father's influence, she joined Hosterman Jr. High's tennis team where she played for two years. She began playing tennis for Cooper her freshman year. Since then she has played on a traveling team and was elected captain for her senior year. Hyland's favorite part of tennis was seeing the improvement of her game. I stuck with tennis the longest; golf is a game of accuracy, but you can always learn new strokes, said Hyland. Hyland's greatest influence is her father. He always encouraged me to try my best, said Hyland. She also gave credit to her coach, Lisa Gruber. I learned not to take everything I do so seriously, just have fun with it. Hyland plans to continue tennis in college. It's a great way to meet people. Hyland said she wanted to stay involved with her intramural sports as long as possi- ble. She also plans to continue with her ex- tracurricular activities. Sometimes it's hard, but I can always manage to balance my time.

Cross llheri Freitag takes time to study a Chinese lesson before his test the next day at the University of Minnesota. Jheri Studies Chinese eing able to speak Chinese is not an accomplishment most seniors claim, but Jerrold Freitag, a rare student, can. Freitag began studying Chinese at the University of Minnesota in June, 186. Impatient to learn a forei n la 1guage, he was drawn to the U. y tl eir intensive language study pro ram. Vihen he applied, he deliberate be- tt Ieen Russian and Chinese. Russian, he dacided, held no immediate practical u e. He chose Chinese because of the gteater opportunities for speaking it in tlefuture. His first Chinese class consisted of a te n-week program four hours a day, five deiys a week, which, once completed, became a whopping fifteen credits. This past year, Freitag studies Chinese II at the U. while completing German V at Cooper. S eaking Chinese and Ger- man fluentl; and colloquially is my goal, he said. After graduation Freitag plans to go to the Concordia Institute of German Studies in Bemidji. He is interested in the Institute because of the intensive studies and immersion in the langua e. After he completes eight months at t e Institute, he will participate in the ln- stitute's internship program. He looks forward to this part and intends to spend as much time in Germany as he can. If the possibility of an internship in China came up, Freitag said, I probably wouldn't take it. There is too much red tape to wade through and cultural for- malities that are too hard to teach Americans. I would like to study there, but to work there would be difficult because things aren't as freely available as in Western European countries. After the Institute, Freitag plans to stay in college studying Chinese and Ger- man. He will also begin a maior in Law and hopes to embark in the ield of in- ternational law.

'Shadowing gives the student the thance to investigate their career rhoices in the actual surroundings of hat occupation, said Judy Fahlin. Iahlin is in charge of the program at lLobbinsdale Cooper. The same oppor- tJnity is offered to every student; all hey have to do is come in and pick up en application. I think it is a wonderful hpportunity for them, especially the sophomores, Fahlin said. a Senior Bob Moore's interest was in he field of medicine. Moore felt that he experience would help him decide i being an anesthetist was what he real- ll wanted. I had done a lot of reading in the subject before I was actually in he operating room. Now I am sure that i2 s the right job for me, said Moore. , Moore knew the person he wished to Shadow; however, that is not the case for most students. This is what Fahlin is for. It is her job to organize the submit- ted application and deliver them to the Community Education Center, located at the former Robbinsdale Junior High school, where the applications are pro- cessed by Ardis Cibuzar. If the student cannot arrange to spend the day with someone they know, Cibuzar arran es 3 meeting for the student. The popu arity of this program has grown immensely! said Cibuzar, referring to the com- parison of the six students she worked with her first year to the 50+ predicted for this year. Most applicants receive their first career choice, but there have been incidents where the second choice is all that is available, Fahlin said. Following the student's day of shadowing, it is required that each per- son fill out an evaluation sheet regarding how beneficial they felt the ro ram was. Almost all came back mar e 'ex- cellent' on a scale of excellent, good, or poor, said Fahlin. They all enjoy it so much! The Career Shadowin program is available to all grade lever and offers a variety of choices to students interested. It really helps to have the experience. I think I got a lot out of it, Moore concluded.

For senior David Webber, who has the unique distinction of being the only male attending Cooper to have had a role in ever show since his sophomore year, the late hours and lack of slee were worth it all when he heard people clap. When l received applause, I knew that I had done something well. His love of the stage led to his por- trayal of many different characters. The most challenging was Olin Britt from The Music Man because of the demanding singing part. The barbersho music was difficult because we all ha to work together to get the desired effect. However, his favorite role was James Crandell in the pla , The Murder Room. This role enable him to portray a straight character, something that he had not done in the past. Webber said his desire for attention led him to pursue drama, but he later found that it was the closeness that came from working with others in a mutual endeavor that he really enjoyed. Webber explained, Even though the cast members of Oklahoma did not know each other well at the beginning of the show, toward the end we were a close family. Webber will continue to pursue drama at either Mankato State or at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where he said, I would like to achieve the theatrical talents of either Nick Nolte or Margaret Hamilton.

Lisa Wald has performed in three dif- ferent areas of music: piano, violin, and voice. She began studying violin in fourth grade, piano in sixth grade, and voice in ninth grade. Wald experienced many different vocal musical situations through her participation in her church C10ll', chamber singers, madrigals, con- cert and select choir, '86-'87 All State Choir, Dorian Festival, All Area Honors Choir, and numerous weddings. Musicals became her favorite pastime to learn new vocal techniques when she jt ined the casts of Oliver, Bye-Bye Bir- d e, Annie Get Your Gun, Crease, Music ll an, and Hello, Dolly!. Lisa lanned to complete u idergra uate school at either Concor- leffrey Todd Lundquist Lisa Christine Luther dia College, Moorhead, or Luther Col- lege, Decorah, concentratin on voice. Sheryl Brame, like Wal , is experi- enced with three different instruments. Brame has played piano for twelve ears, flute for six years, and taken voice lessons for four years. She has also per- formed with many vocal and instrumen- tal roups including Band, Marching Bang, Jazz Band, Choir, Twelve Tones, Girl's Ensemble, Chamber Singers, All- State Choir, All-Area Honors Choir, Dorian Festival, and has been in three musicals: Oklahoma!, Music Man, Hello, Dolly!. Brame planned to work for a master's degree in Music Education at Bethel College or Wheaton Conservatory. One of Brame's more impressive ac- complishments involved her ability to sit at the piano and compose a son .

Though most varsity gridmen have played foot- ball for several years, many begin- ning in peewee, Evans did not begin playing until eighth grade, as a guard and linebacker at Sandburg Junior High. He said, I just went out for the team; and since that beginning, he has played a wide variety of positions for the Hawks including offensive guard, defensive linebacker, center; Evans was tri-captain of the varsity team his senior year. With Evans' experience and record of excellence, his chances of playing football in college are strong. Evans' activities also included his interest in student government. He was elected president of Student Council, and vice presi- dent of the National Honor Society. It's hard to keep control. It seems I'm always busy, but I find time for everything, said Evans. Outside of school, Evans found his time occupied by homework and a part time job at Fun Services. My Mom keeps telling me to drop one of my gym classes, so I'll have more time, he said. Evans' parents and older brother were his biggest influences. He said, My older brother played football before me, and I've enjoyed it as much as he did. Evans also en- joys watching and participating in other sports as a hobby. He skied for Cooper on the boys slalom ski team, and was on the track team for three years.

In the past, neither meal choices nor quality Eleased many. Junior Class Cabinet, the osts for Prom, conducted a vote allow- ing seniors to choose one of three choices: Radisson South, meal included; International Market Square, hors d'oeuvres and refreshments available; or the school gym. Students opted for IMS. The $20.00 price decrease due to the elimination of dinner in the package appealed to many otential Prom goers. Tom McNeil sai , $50.00 was too much for me to pay for Prom. The exclusion of a meal from the pro- gram enabled peo le to choose the place they wante to eat. Different tastes provided for a wide variety of locations. Restaurants from Red Lobster to the Orion Room hosted couples decked out in their formals and tuxedoes. For many, Prom was the event, and it did not matter where it was, just that they attended.

Roston Counsels Kids housands of teens destroy their lives with drugs, which is why District e281 promotes counsel- ing. Lanny Orning works with Cooper students with drug related pasts. Howard Roston was one of them. Howie, a former drug user, warned kids, because of his experience, of the effects of using drugs. He spoke once a month to seventh grade Health students from Hosterman and the TLC. Howie and several other former drug users spoke to kids about the subject, What drugs do to you. He said, I don't push an opinion by saying Drugs are good or 'Drugs are bad'. I just tell them, Hey! This is what could happen to you if you use drugs! The kids listened to Roston, he felt, because they knew he spoke from experience. After a bad acid trip, Roston realized he had a problem and admitted himself into the drug rehabilitation program at Loren Michael Overby Sangita Naran Patel 234 - Seniors Golden Valley Medical Hospital. The rehab program consisted of twelve steps. In the first step, a drug evaluation, he listed Acid, LSD, and Heroin as some of the drugs he used. After Roston con- fronted his habit, they asked him if he thought he had a problem. They never told me I had a problem. They just let me admit to it, he said. He experi- enced few physical withdrawal symp- toms. It was more an emotional withdrawal, he felt. After sixteen months of sobriety, Howie adjusted well. Through his speaking at junior high schools, he hoped to swerve kids from the same path of self-destruction; but the greatest impression he wanted to make on their minds was, tDruggies' are not long- haired guys in leather jackets. They are preppies and jocks, too. It doesn't mat- ter what you look like, everyone can be destroyed by drugs. Jennifer Kathleen John D.

Ann Zofia Remiarz Sharyn Yvonne Renz Seniors 235 Tragic Story Dwells Among Us one were so horrified as the innocent. The citizens of the countries which surrounded Viet Nam suffered countless indignities. Families were literally torn apart. Narith Nom, a Cooper senior, was one of those citizens, from Cambodia. He fortunately managed to get to the United States but left two family members behind - dead. They carry with them the tragic memories of war. Their story was similarly illustrated in the film, The Killing Fields. Narith and his family enjoyed a life resembling a typical middle-class American's from 1965 to 1975. His father worked for the United States Em- bassy and his mother cared for the children. In 1975 their lives were transformed into . . . horrible hell, said Narith, when the Khmer Rouge, a military faction in Cambodia, tricked the educated, religious leaders, soldiers, and Embassy officials into a hostage situation and violently detained them until the Khmer Rouge loaded them on- to trucks for transportation two days later. Narith's father was one of those people that was held against his will. Narith's family searched for their father throughout the trucks, but they could not find him. They returned home in sorrow just four days after they had celebrated the end of the war. This action by the Khmer Rouge was to insure an easier governmental takeover. Remaining family members of their city of the Battainbamg were heralded to the countryside by train a day later. Narith's mother, who was pregnant, went into labor and had to re- quest special permission to walk half a mile to a hospital with only inexperi- enced doctors left. Here the family was allowed to stay for two weeks. The fami- ly was not allowed to take the train the remaining ten miles and had to walk to the village. To avoid persecution, Narith and his family did not reveal that they were related to an embassy official because the Khmer Rouge executed the people and their families that were employed by a foreign government. In 1976, Narith was forced to move far away from his already devastated family to care for livestock. Approx- imately one month later the livestock 236 - Seniors farmers were allowed to plant a garden for themselves and the other villagers who were starving and overworked. At harvest time the Khmer Rouge took control of the flourishing garden and forced the villagers to guard the crop. During Narith's shift to guard the potatoes, he fell asleep from exhaus- tion. When he awoke, a few potatoes were stolen because the malnourished villagers had seen none of the crop they had worked hard to produce because it was used for export. Anyone who open- ly questioned this policy was killed, usually by clubbing. Narith reported the missing potatoes to the camp leader with great fear. He thought his life was over; he prayed and wondered if he could be killed for a few missing potatoes. His fear turned to reality; Narith was bound at the wrists and closed up in a burlap bag. Thoughts of sure death again raced through Narith's mind. When the bag opened again, he thought he was to be freed. Instead, red ants poured over his face and body. The millions of piercing bites caused him to bleed at the ears, eyes, and more. Narith's pitiful screams of I give up! drew nothing but laughter from the onlooking Khmer Rouge soldiers. They asked Narith if he liked being a lazy bum. It was fifteen minutes before he was released. When he was, he ran in- coherently to a nearby lake, jumped in and fainted. Narith woke up on the beach with his body half in the water. His swollen body was blue from the bites. It took him three hours to crawl one fourth of a mile to his hut, where none but one would help him for fear of the same torture. His close friend who did help him was killed the next morn- ing. Despite his injuries, Narith had to work as usual on this day or he would have received no food and more punishment. By 1978, Narith had been moved again, farther from his already distant family, whom he desperately wished to see or just know if they were alive. At this new district he worked twelve hours a day digging ditches for nearly .16 ounces of rice per day. At this rate peo- ple rapidly starved or were put to death because sickness prevented them from working. Early in 1979 the Khmer Rouge government was overthrown by the Vietnamese allowing the Cambodians an attempt at reuniting. Narith walked three days and nights to where he left his family two years before, uncertain if they were alive. When he arrived, he was greeted by his emaciated family. His mother was inflamed with disease, and his infant brother had died due to a diet consisting solely of tree leaves. Mid- 1979 brought another successful attack of the Khmer Rouge. The Cambodians were again rounded up and forced into hard labor, deep in a previously uninhabited forest in northern Cam- bodia. Housed in ramshackled straw huts, the people had no protection from the monsoons. This resulted in a malaria epidemic. On July fourth, 1979, a day for celebration of freedom for Americans, all remaining villagers were to be executed. Another Vietnamese at- tack luckily gave the people relief and a chance to escape their captors. In 1980 Narith's family was forced to flee to Thailand because the occupying Vietnamese were also reaching for foreigners to question and execute them. Narith and his family overcame mine fields, outbreaks of fighting between forces, and robbers to get to a Thai camp. They had to sneak in and again work to receive food, but it was safe if the rules were obeyed. Inside the camp they waited two years for someone to sponsor them. In 1982, Narith's family received medical tests and permission to go to the United States via the Philip- pines. Narith felt a sense of relief in the Philippines. There were soldiers and no fences. People didn't worry about being beaten up. I could go to the beach if I wanted to, said Narith. From the Philippines Narith and his family flew to San Francisco, and on January 15, 1983, they arrived in Min- neapolis. Though Narith refers to America as l'a smiling country, he and people like him will always bitterly recall the shock, horror, and scars left on the innocent by war. Despite the torment Narith lived through, he would one day like to return to a free Cambodia.

However, some seniors such as Kris Lindberg decided for themselves to be constantly on the g0, and they have found that this helps them to budget their time. In the case of Kris Lindberg, it took a group effort to determine in which ac- tivities Lindberg should or should not participate. The things I have been in- volved with have been a mutual deci- sion between my parents and myself, she said. The most consuming element of her time has been the viola, but year- book, National Honor Society, and dif- fering musical involvements also took time away from other possible activities.

When this time came he was forced to consider the possibilities involved and relied on opinions formed throughout the years to create an attitude toward the military draft. Students living in the high tech age feared a nuclear confrontation, but felt there was little they were able to do. Paul Putnam believed actions could be taken. He was a part of organizations such as Green Peace, and as editor of the news- paper, Putnam favored Journalism as a medium for recognizing im ortant issues about war and anti-war eforts. He felt Vietnam should be remembered so that South America does not produce the same tragic effects. His opinions were formed soon after President Reagan's second term began. Reagan's foreign policy and nuclear war were on the news dail . His attitude was not unpatriotic, he simpry felt, Our freedom isn't worth that ta nuclear wary. Paul strongly believed in the idea that if Eursued correctly the nuclear movement y our government could be drastically slowed to a manageable level and in time done away with. The reason the last eneration, the hippies, lost their fight was ecause they did not play the game. We have to understand that the onl way to win is to play the game by their tthe governmeno rules, beat them and then change the rules.

Racial tension caused rioting between Blacks and Whites in South Africa as they struggled with the problems of apar- theid. Contra rebels continued their at- tempts to overthrow the Sandinista govern- ment in Nicaragua with continued support from the U.S. Trying to promote world peace, the U.S. tried to help resolve these conflicts in several ways. In efforts to fight apartheid, several major U.S. businesses, in- cluding G.M., Honeywell, and 3M, pulled out of South Africa, hoping that the resulting economic difficulties would force a change in government. In Nicaragua, however, the U.S. took a different approach. The govern- ment felt that sending monetary aid to the Contra rebels would facilitate their over- throw of the Sandinista government, ending the conflict there. Throughout the year, however, the Middle East remained the trouble spot, with a rash of hostage takings during the winter months, prompting the U.S. to re-examine their negotiating strategies. The U.S. has always made attempts to free its hostages in the past, a practice which some say encourages terrorists to seize hostages because of the high probability that their demands will be met. When Iranians began excessive American-snatching, the government decid- ed that they could no longer give in to the terrorists' every demand. This also prompted criticism from some; but as all nations of the world become more involved with each other, it becomes more important for all people to realize the importance of compromise. Closing - 245 246 - Closing Iran Scam n a good natured attempt to help both the Iranians and the Contra rebels, the Reagan administration caused itself more problems than it could handle. When it was discovered that the U5. had been sending the money from arms sales in Iran to Nicaraguan rebels, the nation exploded in uproar. On November 3, a Lebanese magazine printed a story of Robert McFarlane's secret trips to Iran; and by November 21, Congress had begun investigating these secret dealings. As the Scandal broke, the question How much did Reagan know? remained unanswered until February. At one point, Reagan gave two different accounts of his involvement, adding to the confusion. The Tower Report, given in late February, severely damaged the credibility of many of Reagan's top officials. Lt. Col. Oliver North, the man responsible for the rediscovery of the fifth amendment, was fired; John Poindexter resigned; CIA director William Casey was hospitalized with a reported brain tumor; Chief of Staff Donald Regan quit after he was replaced by Howard Baker; and Robert McFarlane, National Security Council official, attempted suicide in February. After all these changes, it remained to be seen ifthe Reagan administration could sit out the rest of its term respectably. waw m: a g Teens Face Troubles eenagers faced an ever- increasing number of prob- lems as concern about AIDS and teenage pregnancies con- tinued to grow, causing a push for more and earlier sex education in the schools, a change which affected mainly those students taking health classes. Health curriculum Changed to include a unit on AIDS. In addition, the school asked Richard Danila to give three presentations on AIDS: one to faculty, one to the community, and one to the students. 4 The idea for these programs came from the National Honor Societ of- ficers, after they heard Danila speal at a state NHS convention. With help from the Site Council, the programs were planned and presented to favorable response. NHS secretary Lisa Luther, largely reponsible for the idea of the in- school program, thought the program was necessary because AIDS is something that everyone needs to know about. Eventually, it will affect us all in some way. AIDS has become an increasin ly greater problem as 17,000 people in tie US. have already died from the disease. Continuing research efforts have proven helpful; and an experimental drug, AZT, has been found somewhat effective in treating the disease. While AZT does not destroy the virus which causes AIDS, it does prevent further replication of the virus. Because the drug did not go through the usual testin , its merits are questionable, because octors are un- sure of its Ion -term side effects. AIDS was gr from the only problem affecting teenagers, however. In fact, it was probably one of the more remote. The nation experienced an increase in drug usage, as drugs such as crack, a dehydrated form of cocaine, became' the drug of choice because of its affor- dability. Alcohol and marijuana use con- tinued to be problems for the nation's youth, but ressure to prevent drunk driving acci ents was strong across the nation. Several states also continued to tighten up anti-smoking regulations. The St. Paul School Districts explored the option of banning smoking on all school campuses b students and faculty, as has already heen done in many school districts. Once again, the debate over the smoking lounge came before the Student Council, and once again, nothing was resolved. During February, the loun e was temporarily closed after a rash 0 vandalism but the administra- tion said that they had no intention of permanently closing the Ioun e at that time, at least not until they ha explored the problem further. Closing - 247 Ceremony Changes raduation, the culmination of twelve year's work, went through a major overhaul during the early months of 1987. The numerous changes wrought upon the traditional ceremony upset some members of the student body who felt they did not receive sufficient ad- vance warning. An adhoc committee of seniors worked with principal Jerome Jackson to explore the options for a flashier robe. The classic navy robe used in the past, deemed too drab, was livened up with orange stripes on the front of the robe. These robes were purchased rather than rented, another change that surprised many. The ceremony, originally for 8:00 p.m., was rescheduled for 6:30 p.m., and rescheduled again for 9200 because of a conflict with the Jewish holiday, Shavout. Persons of the Jewish faith must abstain from any non-religious activities during the holy day until sundown. However, the school board officially rescheduled the ceremony for 6:30 pm. even with the holy day, by a 6-1 vote. The option of having the ceremony on school grounds rather than Mielke Field was also explored. The Site Council, a committee that has become increasingly more active since the creation of a new position for its chairperson, renamed the facilitator, worked to determine the feasibility of holding the ceremony in the athletic field. This proposal was also met with some apprehension by a small section of the student body because they felt they never quite knew what was happening. It appeared that, because of the late starting time, the ceremony would have to be held at Mielke Field, due to lighting considera- tions. However, when the school board rescheduled the ceremony for 6:30 p.m., the administration decided that it would be possible to hold the ceremony on school grounds, and decided to do so. 248 - Closing Times Rock any groups got exciting starts in 1987, both locally and nationally. Jon Bon Jovi's latest album, Slip- pery When Wet sold six million copies in six months, sitting at number one on Billboard's chart for two months. Although usually considered hard rock, Bon Jovi derived much of his popularity from mainstream listeners, and this added to his success. Another singer who saw major success was Bruce Springsteen. In 1973, music critic Jon Landou said, I have seen the future of rock and roll, and it is Bruce Spr- ingsteen. Springsteen finally came of age and set records for fastest sales when his five record set Bruce Springsteen: Live went gold in two days. In addition to the national success of these two performers, several local groups saw national success with their debut albums. The popular garage band Limited Warranty came out of the garage and hit the streets with a bang. The Jets, another local band, with three members graduates of Cooper, had their debut album go gold. The group made a guest appearance at E. J. Cooper's 90th Birthday pepfest. They led the student body in singing Happ Birthday to Cooper, and presented t e school with their gold album. i Dancing in the Streets any students take their first big trip away from home during high school, usually over spring break. For the fourteen Hoofers, however, a trip to London in January was the first trip overseas for most. Leaving January 1, the Hoofers spent eleven days in England at the invitation of former RCHS drama teacher Frank Plut. The Hoofers, a song and dance grou whose members have all attende Cooper, have been performing to ether for two years. For all involved, t e trip was a dream come true. Plans for the London tour began in June, and after six months of intensive fund raising and rehearsing, Flight 45 left Minneapolis for London. Unfortunately, Hoofer Corey Hels was unable to make the trip because a severe case of mononucleosis left him hospitalized for four days during the first week ofJanuary. While in London, the Hoofers attend- ed drama classes at the American School in London, where Plut taught during the 1986-1987 year. They also at- tended a workshop at the National Por- trait Gallery, attended many plays and musicals, and performed at ASL and High Wycomb, a former air force base converted to a high school for the children of US. soldiers stationed in England. Of the trip, Hoofer David Webber said, Best travelin' in the world, Dude!
