Text from Pages 1 - 256 of the 1988 volume:

SUMMER Teens splash into action upon the completion of finals hen the last of their final exams were completed on June 3, euphoria emanated from Robbinsdale Cooperdome High School. With their notes flung on the floor and lockers semi-cleaned, rev- elers burst out of the building like Twins fans to mark the beginning of their deserved three months of sum- mer recess. During the 'haute' months, some worked to earn extra spending money, While others relaxed at home or trav- eled abroad in such stylish places as Europe, Montreal, and Korea. Favorite summer pastimes included splashing at the beach for a tan, shopping for fun and fab products in area malls, vis- iting Valley Fair; and in the immediate days before the inevitable return, the State Fair, too. With September around the corner, incoming sophomores anticipated at- tending high school, While returning upperclassmen looked forward to again seeing their friends. Not all students had to wait for Sep- tember to return to school. Fall sports, such as volleyball, soccer, girls' tennis, and football, began practicing during the summer months. Not only did the fall athletics-in-training start early, but also the Cooperettes and cheer- leaders began kicks and body pyr- amids long before Labor Day. As the last sun-filled days and late nights elapsed, mod students franti- cally hit the department stores to pur- chase the latest trends and styles in fashion for the 1987-1988 school year. 2 - Opening b New styles in fashion unfold each school year.

ARRIVAL Full of energy at day's start, enthusiasm wanes by 2:20 bell ack to school blues soon washed away with the com- motion of the school year. Starting from that mid-August day that an envelope arrived labeled, To The Parents Of . . teenagers re- alized that school began in two-three weeks. Before they knew it, summer elapsed, marked by a last desperate Labor Day celebration. That last Mon- day of vacation, teens put away their copper-tone bottles and laid out their new Cooper-style clothes, because school was suddenly here. After the alarm clocks went off, sleepers prepared themselves for the first day back to school. With jeans fashionably ripped, hair gelled just so, and an air of anticipation, they were ready to start the year on an upbeat pace and a hip outlook. Leaving for the bus stop with plenty of time to spare, the student body arrived at Cooper and rushed inside to seek out familiar faces, talking fast, trying to summarize their summers within a few splashy sentences before the bells rang, returning them to the reality of classes and homework. Opening - 5 DIFFERENT Schedules, teachers and policies greet returning upperclassmen. oth faculty members and stu- dents faced a change in the schedules as they started the school year. The replacement of the eight-period day with the seven period plus the changes during lunch hours, brought a sense of confusion. Puzzled students making their way to and from the cafeteria were commonplace dur- ing the month of September when the scheduling of each lunch period re- sulted in the overlapping of lunch passing times. Normalcy soon re- turned, however, as students grew ac- customed t0 the changes. Minor ad- justments along the way enabled them to adapt to the schedule. Besides the change in the schedule, thirteen members joined the faculty, replacing staff Who had retired or left the year before. The new teachers, 6 - Opening With their own individual style, helped create a diversified curriculum. Tam- my Buetow and Inta Gravitas, Ger- man teachers at Cooper, shared the duty of one teaching job by each hold- ing a part time position. This enabled the German students to experience two different styles of teaching. Another adjustment concerned the student smoking policy, Which de- creased student smoking time to three minutes for each lunch period. The Change was met with mixed reactions. Junior Scott Brown said, Thdugh I like the policy in general, I'm afraid that students might smoke elsewhere in the building. Sophomore Troy Simpson disagreed, and thought that smoking lounges should be open longer during the school day. a Shortened lunch periods create longer lines. While early arrivals get the first choice for seat- ing, the late-comers must cope with the crowded cafeteria. a -+ I With the advent of the schedule change, junior, Ienni Adams, visits her counselor, Mary Pat Maier, to work out her schedule conflicts. d I Over the summer, signs required by law were added to the building, regarding the des- ignated cmd non-designated smoking areas. 5 I After transferring from Hostermcm Junior High, Suzanne Kelley, teaches a sophomore literature class. Kelley encountered many former students . during her first year at a senior high. Opening 7 TOGETHER Summer fades as relationships grow within RCHS social circles 1though RCHS contained dynamically diverse groups of people With a potpourri of interests, there existed one common reason for Which they enjoyed return- ing to school: friendship - RC style. Whether they became interested be- cause of the sports, the arts, the crc- ademics, or their lunch half hour, friendships made the year special. In the hallways, commons, media center, or classes, friends could make a bad day better or a good day fantastic. Friendships added flair to Cooper's school spirit. Students rallied together at games and pep tests and worked within organizations to show that Hawk pride blazed alive and flour- ished. Athletics and the arts gave rea- 8 e Opening son for friends to gather outside of reg- ular school hours. These social activities not only encouraged new re- lationships to grow but also allowed the old friendships to continue. Some of the most popular extra- curriculars to meet new friends includ- ed the school dances. From the chilly October Homecoming until the sizzle of the Prom, the dance craze brought memories on the dance floor. Friends moved With style to the trendiest mu- sic, cheering on the weekend and celebrating with one another. No mat- ter What RC activities teens partici- pated in, the social events throughout the year gave them a chance to broaden their circle of friends along the way. I Boyfriend and girlfriend Sean Hauser and Claire Ru- dolph possess a special relationship that has grown since they met at Cooper.

Diversity: The spice of Robbinsdale- Cooper's lifestyle. From the preparation and creativity of drama to the dedication and per- severance of the sports teams, to the unifying spirit of homecoming, student lifestyle shows infinite diversity in in- finite combinations. High school's active style is overwhelming, . dynamic and changing; 1n our style is diversity.

Assisted by 1986 Royal Court member Brent Baxley and Queen Marcia Gunia, Rosen moved up and down the rows of royalty pre- tending to crown the anxious candi- dates. Finally, the crowns rested upon the heads of King Dave Bauman and Queen Debbie Idstrom.

The Chamber Singers added to the style by appearing in emerald green, velvet, taffeta gowns and black tux- edos. They performed two numbers, Kiss Him Goodbye and Somewhere Out There. Other entertainment was provided by the orchestra which per- formed a medley from West Side Sto- ry. The Cooperettes danced to the song, The Race, from the musical, Starlight Express, and the cheer- leaders premiered their dance to Mony, Mony.

Homecoming 13 OPTIMISM Three days of festivities ignite Cooper's Homecoming spirit hroughout the 1987 Homecom- ing week, the Robbinsdale Coo- per Hawks spirits soared. Teachers, Susan Bye, Wes Lindstrom, and Marion Lovell, along With stu- dents Iacque Waddington, Melanie Markovich, and Stephanie Hawes Chaired the Homecoming planning committee. The festivities began on Monday With the sales of buttons that displayed the Homecoming slogan, Humble Hopkins. Tickets With the buttons en- abled buyers to get into some of the week's activities at a reduced cost. On Wednesday, Nerd Day, home- room volleyball and the brat feed took place after the early release of school. During this time, students also partic- ipated in the annual serf auction held in the foyer. The highest bidder, Rick King, claimed his slaves for a day, Rachel Beaty and Teri Clifton, for twenty dollars. Gamblers arrived later that evening to take part in the Casino Night activities. Chuck-a-Luck and Black Jack tables took possession of the money that participants gambled in the hope of Winning more. The bon- fire wrapped up Wednesday's events With students gathered around the fire roasting marshmallows until the eve- ning came to an end. The Homecoming spirit carried on through the week with the coronation on Thursday morning and the Battle of the Bands after school. Friday fol- lowed with the pepfest for the Home- coming football game that night. Al- though the Hawks had practiced for the game and had the fans cheering them on, they lost to the Hopkins Roy- als by a score of 28-7. 14 - Homecoming 1 At the pep fest, the varsity football team displays their enthusiasm before the Homecoming game.

In the girls' bathroom after morning practice, she fixes her hair before school starts. . , ' 16 - Feature WAKE UP Alarms ring early after summer, shocking sleepers out of bed ornings are a time for yawn- ing and grumbling, Why does school have to start so early anyway? ; but Ct notable differ- ence can be seen in how the time is used by different people. After getting up at 5 a.m., cheer- leaders arrive at school at 6:30 to practice cheers for games and pepfests. The music from the gym, where the danceline and silks practice their routines from tapes made by the band, echoes through the hallways. A few tvery, very fewt students come to school in the mornings to re- ceive help on math or go to the media center to make last minute changes on a report. For the average girl at Cooper, curl- ing their hair, putting on makeup, and deciding what outfit looks in vogue re- quires them to get up two hours before school starts; but for the average guy, getting ready for school doesn't mean a big ordeal. Senior Jason Scherschligt said, I get up at 6:30, take a shower, eat breakfast, read the comics, and leave at 7:05 for my bus. For some people, mornings seem to be more of a nightmare than just c1 nuisance. Pushing the sleep button on their alarm and jumping out of bed fifteen minutes before school starts oc- cupies their mornings. Then, after tak- ing a two-minute shower, they jump into their car and rush off to school. No matter What the morning routine con- sists of, the students must arrive at school by 7:30. .- Ieff Melby greets the homerooms each day with the morning announcements. Jeff is head PA. announcer.

Klein accidentally made the comparison between Jonathon and Boris Karloff, placing her in this predicament. 18 - Fall Play MURDER! First Mr. Hotchkins, then Mr. Spenalzo. Who will be next? hil Darg returned to direct Io- seph Kesseling's, Arsenic and Old Lace, a show he starred in seven years before on the C00- per stage. This time, the role of Teddy Brewster, who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, was played by Eric Rautio. Along with Rautio, Iason Scherschligt portrayed the eldest and most villain- ous of the Brewster brothers, while Scott Brown acted in the role of the only sane member of that household, Mortimer. Having the part of a set character was a nice change; I knew what was expected, and I could be creative with it, said senior, Eric Rau- tio. Working behind the scenes, the cast and tech crew of Arsenic and Old Lace spent considerable time and en- ergy toward the production of the fall play. With only four weeks to construct the entire set, the tech crew had its work cut out for them. We had a dif- ficult time attempting to build the set itself, and it would have been much easier if the actors weren't there, said student director, Nolan Shackelford. Aside from movement coinciding with pounding hammers, the cast and crew were able to work around each other. With the props and costumes we had, it was easy for the actors and actress- es to get into their roles, said Ted Hesse, junior. The two Brewster sis- ters, Abby and Martha, were played by senior, Mollie Stickney, and junior, Iulie Mundale. Shannon Smith's por- trayal of Ionathon's sidekick, Dr. Ein- stein, highlighted the show and en- couraged the audience's laughter. 9W, FALL PLAY CAST: Front Row: D. Streeter. T. Merkle, K.

Unknown to him, Shannon Smith seizes the opportunity to make a surprise attack. Fall Play - 19 FRANTIC Blackouts, corpses, pin-ups typify backstage follies n the fall play, the job of student director took on a new angle for Ursula Choin. Besides organizing props, cueing lines, and assisting di- rectors, Choin had to play the part of a dead body. During the musical's senior citizens show the lights backstage and on stage suddenly went out. While direc- tors and technicians ran around, Chris Cook, a member of the lighting crew, observed, It was really weird, all of a sudden all the authority figures were around us, and then just as fast they all disappeared. On closing night of the musical, the lighting crew decided to play some practical jokes on the cast. Meredith McGrath discovered a pin-up had been mysteriously placed in her mop bucket. 20 - Behind the Scenes Volunteering their after school hours, the members of the musical or- chestra from Once Upon A Mattress discovered that they would have to do more practicing than they wanted to. Connie Borman, junior, said, The score was really hard. It kept chang- ing keys. Stan Hahn, technical director for both the fall play and musical, stayed after school on several occasions with the tech crew to supervise the building of the sets designed by Jeff Phillips. According to Hahn, the tech crew had its first injury award this year. The girl stepped on a nail, so we gave her the nail on a plaque, said Hahn. Although they have fun working to get a production on stage, the behind the scenes people aren't often recog- nized for their achievements. b b After the closing of the musical, the Once Upon a Mat- tress cast put in their required set strike hours. Less time is spent on set strike than on set construction. h- The orchestra is a vital part of the musical. Directed by Roger Thompson, a few of the orchestra members are Iean Fellbaum, Sue Kopp, Mike McGrath, Chad Svihel, Connie Bormcm, and Twila Smith. I I As technical director, Stan Hahn's job not only included building scenery. After a day of technical work, he sweeps up the set construction room. I David Lucs' first musical was Once Upon a Mattress. N ot only did he play in the orchestra, but he also accompanied dancers and other cast members during rehearsals. H Taking a break from a night session of the tech work, Paul Bettein and student technical director, Nolan Shackelford, share a pizza. Late hours after school often meant fast food for dinner. Behind the Scenes - 21 22 - One-Act Play a During c: marital spat, Therese, Kele Nathe, explains all the things she has done for Dave Streeter, the President, and how she can't be- lieve that he is leaving her. 1 Waiting for the cast and director to come to rehearsal, Eric Johnson, the Chairman of the Board, takes a short break. a The Apollo, Chris Holtz, and the clerk, Lonny Overby, come to the choir room after school to run through their lines. a -. Director of the one-act play, Phil Darg, watches as the cast rehearses for the BAA con- test. The play took fifth place. CHARMIN G According to Apollo, the male ego can get her anywhere he Apollo of Bellac was di- rected by Phil Darg. Before a mixed audience of Cooper and Armstrong students, the cost per- formed their show on February 2 as a preliminary to the Region 6AA contest at Hopkins on February 6. Edina won the contest and Cooper tied for fifth place, although senior Melanie Markovich received a star for her per- formance as Agnes, an insecure wom- cm who discovers the secret to winning any man's heart. Because the set didn't require much preparation, the three student direc- tors, Ienni Adams, Chris Cook, and Heather Johnson easily handled the setting. The scenery required a desk, a chair, a lamp, and a pillar with the head of Apollo on it. The result pic- tured an office in the International Bu- reau of Investigations Inc., where the action occurred. The plot begins with Agnes, who is searching for a job, entering an office building intent on speaking with the President, played by Dave Streeter. On seeing her frustration once she is refused by the Clerk, Lonny Overby, one Man, played by Chris Holtz, offers her the secret to getting what she wants from any male: all she has to say is 'How handsome you are.' Though not winning at the festival, sophomore Traie Kumara, who played Chevredent, a bold, pessimistic sec- retary, reacted positively to the ex- perience. With my role being a grouchy secretary and opposite of my personality, I was faced with a chal- lenge, and challenges are always ex- citing. One-Act Play - 23 a At the ball, the court dancers perform the exhausting Spanish Panic. The dance fails to tire the Princess Winnifred. 1 The Minstrel, Ted Hesse, the Iester, Ion Hunt, and King Sextimus, Scott Brown, spent many hours working on the camaraderie between their characters. Their relationship flourished in their final song together, The Minstrel, the Iester and I. 24 - Musical MATTRESS Kingdom lives happily ever after in medieval musical 11 November 23, the day after the full play ended, the first informational meeting for the musmal began. Frank Plut and Iulia Rask combined to co-direct Once Upon A Mattress a musical adapta- tion of The Princess and the Pea. The Minstrel, Ted Hesse, opens the show With a song which explained that this mythical kingdom in 1428 is ruled over by a talkative, hated queen, played by Katy Tessman, and a mute king, characterized by Scott Brown. The King expressed himself by using pantomime and charades. The queen had decreed that no one shall wed until Prince Dauntless, portrayed by Eric Rautio, is married. Although many princesses have had auditions to mar- ry Dauntless, the queen consistently invents impossible tests to discourage them. The plot is defined, and the story begins. Lady Larken, Laura Weinzetl, is pregnant. Sir Harry, played by Chris Harris, Larkens' lover, leaves the king- dom in order to find a princess for Dauntless to marry. Thus the entire village Will be able to wed. He returns . with Winnifred the Woebegone, Shan- non Smith, Whose home lies in the swamps. She eventually passes the queen's test and is able to marry Dauntless, but not without help from the Minstrel and the Iester, portrayed by Ion Hunt. I Confidently Princess Winnifred, Shannon Smith, displays her strength and endurance to the kingdom. While succeeding in lifting the weight, the kingdom shouts out her name, F-R-E-D in awe. H While thinking of a test to determine Princess Winnifred's royalty, the Queen, Katy Tessman. rebukes the Wizard, Adam Rautio's, suggestion. She decided to test her for sensitivity, placing a pea under twenty soft downy mattresses. H H Due to Prince Dauntless' inability to comprehend the birds and the bees, the King, Scott Brown, pantomimes a stork. This action took place in the song Man to Man Talk. Eric Rautio played the role of the prince. Musical e 25 a Sir Harry, Chris Harris, expresses his love for Lady Larkin, Laura Weinzetl, before he leaves to find c1 true princess.

Across the hall, the orchestra, under the direction of Roger Thompson, began tuning up for the whole show. Earlier, once the show was cast, re- hearsals were held every day after school, but when performance time drew closer, the director, Iulie Rask and Frank Plut intensified the rehears- als. The cast rehearsed weekends and on those days when school wasn't in session, all day. While the actors and actresses ree hearsed, Stan Hahn, technical direc- tor, and his crew built the set designed by Jeff Phillips. The set consisted of elevations and a series of arches with the main colors being pink and crushed robin's egg blue to help create a fairytale atmosphere. The show opened to a full house of senior citizens at the special matinee performance. However, the cast wor- ried as advance ticket sales for the evening performances seemed slower than past years. Many thought that the unfamiliar name and the pushed-up performance dates along with a lack of enough publicity contributed to a small audience opening night. As the word spread of the show's artistic suc- cess and its sheer enjoyment for au- diences, ticket sales picked up. The remaining performances brought in a good audience. Ion Hunt who played the Iester said, When we had a big- ger crowd, I was able to use the laugh- ter of the audience to encourage me to add more to my performance. Musical - 27 I For a dramatic close to the pepfest, an Egg McMuffin eating contest is held between rep- resentatives of the sophomore, junior, and se- nior classes.

The change from a week full of ac- tivities to just two days changed the name from Snow Week to Snow Daze and combined the coronation and pepfest into one. Snow Daze organizer Warren Clark said, The changes came about because there was a lack of student participation. The activities at the coronation- pepfest started With the introduction of the snow court which consisted of sophomores Joel Danko, Allison Mc- Courtney, Dan Keiser, Jeanne Fronczak; juniors Mark Cross, Heidi Wacholz, Ricardo King, Pat Tirokomos, Darrel Lindemann, Leslie Rausch. Randy Mikolai, Rachel Beat- ty, Nolan Shackelford, Meredith Mc- Grath; seniors Eric Skogrand, Sara Maasch, Craig Redenpenning, Ruth Morris, Mark DeGidio, Mary Bern- strom, Devon Bradford, Maria Dimber- io and the crowning of Snow King Ion Hunt and Queen Mollie Stickney. Next, the Cooperettes performed their routine, Which they had used in state competition, for the student body. Following the performance, the stu- dents sang Happy Birthday to ELI. The newly crowned King Ion then sang the Beatles song, Revolution with band members Chris Harris and Iason Osgood. To conclude the pepfest on a revolting note instead of the usual Big Mac eating contest, an Egg McMuffin eating contest was held. The contestants had to stuff Egg McMuffins into their mouths as quickly as pos- sible. Snow Daze ended with the semi- formal Iack-of-Hearts dance spon- sored by the Cooperettes and Silks, Where traditionally the girls ask out the boys.

There he was taught Physics Resources and Instructional Strategies for Motivating Students tPRISMSl. PRISMS is main- ly activity oriented and consists of three steps, said Barton. He used the three steps in teaching at Cooper. Step one was exploration. Teachers learned to have students discover the basic concepts on their own. Most of quarter one was spent this way: stu- dents dropped objects from lab tables to learn about the force of gravity; they did experiments in the foyer to learn vector addition, and they wheeled each other around on dynamic carts to learn the ideas of force and friction. Senior Bonnie Abel said, We didn't know exactly what results we were looking for, but we had fun trying! For the second step, concept devel- opment, Barton used lectures and in- troduced sample problems. In this manner, he covered Newton's three laws of motion. Finally, Barton arrived at step three: application. Physics stu- dents applied the concepts to rubber powered vehicle drag races and an egg drop. Cooper's Science Department also featured biology, chemistry, astrono- my, and futures. Biology, taught by five teachers, consisted mainly of sophomores, but juniors and seniors took the course if they needed to fulfill their science requirements. Ecology and botany were covered in biology classes. The study of living things, plants and animals, involved dissect- ing crayfish, frogs, worms, and fish. Chemistry, on the other hand, intro- duced the basic concepts of matter. These concepts, which proved to be helpful throughout the course, filled numerous lectures in chemistry class. Although only two science credits were required, senior Lisa Olson took all eight. Olson said, I like science. I want to have a strong background in it because I plan to major in biology at college. 4- Biology and chemistry teacher John Deno explains the food web to his biology class.

Sophomore Michelle Krager, Who had Steve Schmidt, liked learning about early America. I now better un- derstand why people fled to this coun- try, she said. After completing American history, juniors advanced to world area studies and Western civilizations. These classes increased the students' view of the world through studying Russia and the Western world in depth. During their last year of high school, seniors studied economics and gov- ernment to help prepare them for real life. Since taking economics with Mr. Huisken, I've begun to understand the balance of the economy and my part in it, senior Iulie Ruddy said. Students who nurtured an interest in social explored the subject beyond the required six semesters. Through world religions and psychology, they wid- ened their perspectives. According to psychology teacher, Stu Stockhaus, These classes are becoming more and more necessary for today's cul- ture. Sometimes the importance of history is fogged up in the preconception that social studies is boring. At Cooper, though, teachers combated monotony through unique methods. Welter's yuk-yuks and Courtland Swenson's current event Fridays eased the boredom students may have experienced. Senior Iacque Wadding- ton said, Current events are interest- ing, not boring. I like learning about occurrences that are happening now. Social Studies -- 37 ELECTIVES Variety of possibilities provides students with many choices I want to take as many English courses as I can because they will help me in college, said Holly Laurant, junior. Laurant, like others, takes not only the required number, but chooses elec- tives from the multiple offerings of the department. Classes range from basic subjects of skills, literature, and composition to classes Which explore modes of com- munication in today's world, including film study, theater production, and TV production. RCHS offers levels ranging from ba- sic to advanced placement tAPL I'm glad Cooper has an AP program. It challenges me, and I begin to work harder in all my classes, said Pam Peterson, junior. The AP program is a five semester program. It consists of 38 - English two semesters of sophomore English, including grammar and literature, and one semester each of world literature, college composition, and British liter- ature. The department also offers journal- ism and creative writing to enrich stu- dents' composition skills, literature courses for background, and human- ities for the classics. Humanities studies everything from the Golden Age of Greece to the High Renais- sance, said Patricia Felth, humanities teacher. For oral skills RCHS offers speech, oral interpretation, and listening. In- troduction to theater and acting look at the aspects of theater arts.

People's attitudes change as periodically as the secr- sons. The emphasis now is casual, and it's not just pertaining to students anymore. The addition of fourteen faculty members to Robbinsdale Cooper's staff created a curiosity regarding in- terests in their lifestyles. The casual attitude became the norm, not only in apparel but also in the hobbies and activities of the fourteen. Orchestra and music theory teacher Karen Olson said she likes to dress casual. Computers and higher algebra in structor Mark Ostrom enjoys relaxing in ragged sweatshirts and worn jeans during his free time. Sailing relieves all the pressures of the day, he said. 40 -- Feature Rebecca Fisher, 0 new counselor at Cooper, retreats to a Whirlpool for a good time. Along With outdoor ac- tivities, that ranks number one, she said. Casualness goes beyond the bound- aries of clothing and into hobbies, too. The teachers' styles in their travel dreams reveal laid-back tendencies. Australia, a popular get away country, attracts the desires of Mary Pat Maier, CI counselor. The Orient fascinates twelfth grade economics teacher Del Hoeve. It would be a dream to visit China or Japan. The reactions to the change from rigidity to casualness were positive. Iunior Meredith McGrath said, I feel more comfortable around relaxed teachers. School is more informal, and the teachers seem more human.

Yoshi Satoh, the lap- anese teacher; transferred some of this culture to Cooper. I have two main goals in teaching Japanese to high school students, said Satoh. One is to develop my own material suitable for teaching Iapanese, and the other is to find ways to motivate the students. Satoh commuted every four weeks between Cooper and Wayzata High School, while the students at either school watched and took part in class through interactive video. Interactive video is a system which allows Satoh to broadcast live from one school to another. Other languages a person could take were Spanish, French and Ger- man. Sharon Goodrie and Mark Mertens had fun teaching French. Mertens said, What I enjoy most about French class, is the students teaching me. The French students plan to take a trip to London, Brittany. Paris and the Riviera during the sum- mer. Tammy Buetow and Inta Grevites shared the teaching responsibilities of the German classes. Grevites said, I try to instill in the student that each culture has its own values and one isn't better than another. Robert Labudd and Laurel Zepeda worked together to expose the stu- dents to the Spanish culture. Labudd said, What I enjoy most about teach- ing a foreign language is being able to share my experiences from my travels with the students. I enjoy Spanish because of Senor Labudd's sense of humor that beats all! said Iulie Zimmerman. junior. +- Katherine Richardson, Alyssa Whitney and Janis Eastman return their tapes to the aide.

Chagnon, like Crusoe, never feels alone because he has the company of the students who appreciate him. I like him, said Eric Larson, junior. He helps you if you need it. I've learned a lot from him. Chagnon constantly increases the students' outlook on art by using a new curriculum, Discipline Based Art Ed- ucation tDBAEi. This program now be- gins in kindergarten and continues through the twelfth grade. DBAE includes lessons on art his- tory, criticism, productions and aes- thetics, the philosophy of beauty. Chagnon said, I'm glad to see this advance in art classes which has pre- viously been neglected. Talent exists in a wide variety among the classes. This enables the students to view their fellow student's capabilities. I feel this allows me to experience things I might not have had the chance to otherwise. It also lets me use other people's ideas and techniques with my own, said Devon Bradford, senior. -.I Art students create interesting screamers.

TONE Music created unlike before usic adds a little pizazz to people's lives. It portrays people's moods and feel- ings, it psyches people up, and it mel- lows them out. Some people create music by singing, while others play an instrument in either the band or the orchestra. Choir allows students and the teach- er to get involved and have some fun, too. I'm really enjoying myself, said Paula Holmberg, the director of con- cert choir. select choir and chamber singers. The 1987 school year brought some changes for both the orchestra and the band. Karen Olson, the orchestra in- structor. appeared on the scene as the new music theory teacher, also. Olson appreciates the students. She said, The kids play well and work hard. They've made me feel welcome here. I love it! In addition to her work here, she also conducts in the Greater Twin Cit- ies Youth Symphonies. According to Dr. Roger Thompson, combining three bands into two pro- vided a challenge, but it also proved to be an excellent opportunity to get to know more students. With only two bands, Thompson said, It allows for a larger instrumen- tation and challenges the student's ability to perform. .-IT Harmonizing together to the song, Nola, junior, Sean Houser, and senior, Chris But- terfield. rehearse during sixth hour.

Music - 45 46 - Health ALIVE New book adds zest to health he Health Department wit- nessed an innovation with the addition of a new health book, hot off the press. The book covered the same concepts as before but with a new style. Teacher Iim Knight said, I have to start all over again to learn the new, updated program. I, myself, am only one chapter ahead of the stu- dents. The Department had requirements to meet accorded by state law. The requirements said that curriculum must include a study of diseases, men- tal health, chemical dependency, fit- ness and nutrition, first aid, and CPR. The book met the requirements with- out changing the format radically. The teachers, however, had extra work in preparing lectures and writing tests. The three health teachers, Ray Cosky, Dorothy Iacobsen, and Knight put their heads together and were able to teach a useful class for sophomore health students. Health teachers covered the AIDS epidemic in greater depth than in past years, simply because of the greater amount of knowledge to share. The teachers tried to discuss everything they knew about AIDS, but they want- ed to keep the panic level at a mini- mum. Knight said, If we can introduce AIDS and let the students know what it is, they may be able to prevent it. .41 Perhaps health teacher Iim Knight doesn't practice what he preaches. He eats a brat at Homecoming. You don't know how many of those I really ate, Knight said. a Health is a lifetime pursuit. To illustrate to their classes the importance of that goal, health teachers use posters to reiterate their beliefs to sophomore classes. WHAP Students shed tension in gym I, n gym class, sophomore Suzie Salhus said, we can relieve our frustrations on the racquetball birdie. I get them all pent up inside so I can whack them out when I play. This opinion was shared by Carri Spillane. Spillane said, Gym class takes up all my energy so I don't get in trouble for talking in my other classes. Later, she added, I do still get caught talking, though! Cooper's requirements comprised of, among other things, one credit of physical education. The course con- sisted chiefly of sophomores and proved to be a haven for the students. Of thirty polled, over twenty students enjoyed their gym class. The regular gym classes featured flag football, lacrosse, softball, tennis, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, and dance. Teachers introduced the rules and concepts of the sports and attempted to raise students' ambitions. The Physical Education Department also had classes for the juniors and seniors who wanted to continue with their athletic practices. These classes included racquet sports, designed to review fundamentals in these sports: dance and recreation sports; team sports, with emphasis on advanced skills; and fitness plus, with emphasis on the establishment of goals. I In their phy. ed. class, sophomores Chris Lindholm and Tate Turnquist challenge each other to a racquetball duel. After smashing this ball, Lindholm was the victor. PH Sophomores were required to have a change of clothes for gym class. Apparently forgetting this rule, Wally Iohanson serves the volleyball clad in everyday street clothes. .- This is one of those zealous seniors who continues in gym after tenth grade. Missy Hukriede, with all the attention, ends up missing the ball. Physical Education - 47 NOW Today's world demands skills iversity of classes allows the Business Department to pro- vide training in all areas of the business world. The department serves about fifty percent of the stu- dents each year, said Addy Murtaugh, an accounting teacher. According to Murtaugh, students know the skills taught in business classes will be useful in the future, and this accounts for the high enrollment in the department's classes. Business law student, Bonnie Abel, said, My dad thought it would be a good idea to take business law, and now that I have, I agree. Shorthand, keyboarding, account- ing, and word processing teach basic skills needed in the business world to- day. More academic classes such as business law and marketing and sales explore the methods and practices used in business. Classes teach subjects that can be used, not only in post high-school ed- ucation, but in people's personal life. Typing student, Iill Knutson, said, I'm I , taking typing so when I go to college, I iii can type my papers faster. Also, I might be able to earn some money with my skills during a part-time job. The Business Department covers topics from accounting to typing and shorthand to computer classes.

We wrote down a particular goal, like losing weight, and later we went back to see if we achieved it. Ian Reinke, who taught health and lifestyles, also instructed relationships, clothing images and advanced cloth- ing construction. The classes are smaller, which allows everyone to do individual work at their own pace, said Reinke. I like the laid back atmosphere, I don't feel pressured, said Lisa Post, junior. There were more guys than girls in my class, foods for life, said Aleeta Wisneski, junior. I think they take it 50 -- Home Economics because it's an easy credit, and they get to eat. I think more of the girls go to the child development classes, be- cause they think they can already cook, responded Nick Fritz, junior. Fashion apparel, instructed by Sue Manikowski, explores different career opportunities available in fashion. It's helped me make a career choice, be- cause it takes a look at exactly what each career involves, said Carla Nel- son, junior. Child development and parenting helps students gain an understanding of children, said Elaine Jordan, who teaches the class. The students can observe and interact with children through a play school tat Cooperi, where we have parents who bring their three and four year olds. Independent living is for seniors only, Iordan said. It gives them skills to live on their own without their moth- ers or fathers. They look at values, goals and career opportunities.

SKILL Hands-on learning roviding a challenge and an ex- perience different from ordinary classwork, Industrial Education permits hands-on training. It gives the students c1 chance to apply what they learned in class to a project. Mr. Loushin uses lectures along With demonstrations, but most often, we learn through hands-on experi- ence in the lab, said Jim Henderson, junior. I've learned, generally speak- ing, the basic functions of many dif- ferent kinds of circuits, how to assem- ble and disassemble them and techniques used in testing them. Electricity as well as cabinetmaking, photography and auto maintenance, not only attracted guys, but a few girls too. I thought electricity would be in- teresting, and I could get something out of it, said Dana Edwards, senior. I'm the only girl and I enjoy the chal- lenge of it. Tracy Bingen, junior, decided to take auto maintenance because she wanted to learn how to take care of her car. I don't feel so dumb anymore when people talk about cars, she said. I took cabinetmaking, because I thought it would be interesting to learn how to make something useful, said Sheila Path, junior. It gives me CI sense of satisfaction to make some- thing, especially when it turns out like it should. The teachers experienced more va- riety in their classes and in schools. A few of the teachers commuted be- tween Cooper and Armstrong. In the past we specialized in a par- ticular area, said Warren Clark. But in recent years there has been a need to become a jack-of-all-trades. This is because of the decline in enrollment, so we have to take on more varied classes.

District e287 - 53 BEN OVAT E Lunch is altered by replacing tickets with credit cards ood services witnessed several changes in order to make the serving of school lunch more ef- ficient for staff and students. Some of these changes caused problems in the beginning, but by the second quarter the system was running more smooth- 1y. Because the administration noticed an excess of free time for students, the school day was shortened into seven, rather than eight, mods. This enabled all the students to have lunch during the fifth period Which was divided into three sections. Lunch time for each section was reduced from forty-five minutes in the past to a thirty minute schedule. Some problems arose dur- ing the first couple of weeks with a time shortage, but soon the students became accustomed to the new plan. Another plan introduced eliminated the use of lunch tickets, Which had gone up in price to $1.35. At the end of November, each student was issued their own 'lunch credit card.' Students could buy up to thirty lunches in ad- vance, and the lunches would be cred- ited to their 'account.' During the lunch period, the cooks only had to pass the computerized card through the scan- ner. One lunch would be deleted. This, at first, also became unpopular with the students, but in the end eliminated 54 e Food ServicerCustodians the problem of lost and stolen lunch tickets. Food services also experienced Changes that were welcomed imme- diately. New items were added to the menu in the a la carte line. Frozen yogurt was available occasionally, and the line also featured juices in exotic flavors such as blue raspberry, pir'ia colada, bubblegum, and mint. Old favorites such as soft pretzels and nachos remained. The custodians also worked behind the scenes to keep Cooper clean. The eighteen custodians worked both day and night sweeping floors, cleaning classrooms and bathrooms, and mak- ing repairs. The custodians were there to help when a light bulb burned out or When the heaters and air conditioners didn't function correctly. Sophomore Ioni Becker called a custodian for as- sistance the first week of school, when her locker door was jammed shut.

For students, this professional standard helped them. From educational to emotional problems, the counselors were ready to meet the needs of the growing teenager. Starting early in the fall quarter, counselors met with all tenth graders. This started the process of guidance, assisting the sophomores with sched- uling classes and adjusting to the dif- ferent environment. Juniors and seniors received guid- ance for their futures.

The parents of imany seniors will join together to make this party a success. There are eight committees including food, dec- oration, and registration committees. At around 9 p.m., following gradua- l tion, approximately 8004: of the grad- Juates will load buses for Sandburg Junior High. There, they will be bom- barded with all types of food. The .night will continue with the annual trope climb, miniature golf, computer lpictures, the all new record-a-song, the hypnotist, and other surprises. The senior party is a neat way for lclassmates to get together one last Atime, and it also serves as a way to ;,prevent accidents, said Jeanne Pribnow, registration committee mem- ber, and also mother of senior, Iane Pribnow. Her duty, said Pribnow, is to see that all seniors sign up for the ipqrtyl At around 5 am. the buses will come and pick up some very tired gradu- ates. They will all probably go home and sleep as long as possible because they know they won't ever have to get 3 up for high school again. Excited to graduate, Harvey Weiss' effective listening class of '88 celebrates. Rowdy seniors like this group will be seen partying at Sandburg Junior High for the Senior Class Party immediately after graduation. , Scenes like this will be captured at the Senior Party.

I ello Dolly was my fa- vorite musical because I felt I was really in- volved. Not only did I play a major role, but I was also able to be a dancer, said Jason Scherschligt, senior and a three- year participant in theater. Scherschligt is one of the best known actors in the Drama Depart- ment because he has performed in three musicals and five plays. His first play, Good Grief a Griffin was special since it was his first time on stage. Scherschligt said he enjoyed act- ing because of the reaction from theater-goers. When the audience walks out of the auditorium with huge smiles on their faces, I know I've done a good job of making hun- dreds of people happy. Scherschligt played a variety of roles. In Good Grief a Griffin, he played a court jester. Hello Dolly was special since he played the major role of Cornelius. In Arsenic and Old Lace Scherschligt played Jonathan Brewster, and he was a dancer in Once Upon a Mattress. Not only was Scherschligt in- volved in acting, he also was on the newspaper staff his junior year, competed in serious prose for Dec- lamation, and performed with the Hooters, an almost all-male dance ensemble.

FLYING HIGH Seniors maintain position as top guns of the school any twelfth-graders felt that being a senior filled the most meaningful and yet thrilling time of their life in high school. It was the last chance to be with a group of friends that have shared the first eighteen years of my life, said Scott Hegstad. The year developed into a serious time when the early series of ques- tions, What do you want to do? What do you want to be? bombard- ed seniors. Then after being accepted into col- lege, seniors encountered other wor- ries. What will my roommate be like? Will I ever know my way around campus? Could the food at college possibly be as good as Cooper's? The list seemed endless; but despite all these pressures, Cooper students, such as Tim Lloyd and Adam Peterson looked forward to a memorable year. The two exclaimed, Our senior year was a chance to cherish our high school memories. Seniors made sure to uphold the tra- dition of Senior Skip Day, taking ad- vantage of the day to visit colleges, go shopping, and stay home and catch up on some much needed sleep. Sometimes goofing off, excuses such When I was riding the bus to school, my trig assignment acciden- tally flew out the window, and When I was making my art project, I ac- cidentally used my government work- sheet as paper mache described missing assignments. Seniors regular- ly found their way to the nurse's office because of a severe headache or sore throat which more than likely resulted from too much partying! To prove their superiority over the juniors and sophomores, seniors usually set the fashion trends. The latest fashions included rolled-neck sweaters, mini skirts, and frosted jeans. Although the senior year turned into a time for laughter and for tears, one idea always remained the same, It meant I didn't have to hang around those immature sophomores any- more, said Chris Butterfield.

Well, not actually for one of Min- nesota's counties, but for the Legion Girls' State at Bethel College. Bannerman's duties consisted of enforcing campus rules, such as no walking on the grass. She made them turn back to where they start- ed and walk properly on the steps. Senior Linh Nguyen was also cho- sen to spend a week at St. John's College for Boys' State. He decided not to run for an office so he re- mained a law abiding citizen. At Girls' and Boys' State, the stu- dents participated in a mock gov- ernment where they organized and operated their own city, county, and state governments. This included mak- ing up their own bills in a legislature and enforcing their own laws in their own courts. I learned about what it means to have true pride in your country and to really respect the freedoms and priv- ileges we have in the U.S., said Ban- nerman. When Nguyen returned from his week as a representative, he worked at the University of Minnesota. I stud- ied proteins that cancer cells attach to and that move through the body. He also participates on the boy's gym- nasticyteam. Bannerman involved herself in soc- cer, track, declamation, and symphon- ic band.

Over one hundred people went through a one-weekend orientation, filling out applications and sitting through a personalized interview. Pakonen went to Russia as one of thirty-four students selected out of that one hundred. Through the three weeks she spent there, she visited many cities, including Moscow, Vladimir, and Leningrad. She also visited some young pioneer camps which are like U.S. boy scout camps. It showed me the beauty of all people - how we really are alike although so different. Swimming is one of Pakonen's fa- vorite pastimes. She swam any style but prefers backstroke the best. I love swimming because it is good for my cardiovascular system. My knees aren't too good, and this has a low impact on them. Pakonen also loves to play violin. She started playing in the fourth grade. She plays for the Cooper or- chestra and also for the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony which she has been in since sixth grade. She made it to the top group out of seven this year, the symphony. This coming summer the symphony will be traveling to the USSR. 1 can't believe I'm going back so soon. I'll do everything I didn't have time to do the first time.

With work, school, sports, and their social time, life be- came very busy. Senior Iulie Davis didn't seem to mind being busy, though. She involved herself in cross- country, basketball, track, homework, volunteering at North Memorial Med- ical Center, and working at St. Ther- ese Nursing Home. It hasn't hurt my school work or my social life; in fact, it's helped me. I've had to budget my time between school, sports, and so- cial life to accomplish all that needed to be done. Davis excelled in the three sports in which she participated. During cross- country she achieved her personal goal of running 1 1:14 in the 2 mile and received the honor of all conference. Basketball remained her favorite sport because of the confidence the girls dis- played on the court and their team 82 - Seniors stamina spirit. That's where I met many of my friends! Switching from basketball to track in spring, Davis expected to run the half mile and the mile. Her biggest goal will be to make state. All I can do is work hard, try not to injure myself, and hope for a great day. Being a senior changed Davis' out- look toward herself. I feel like I finally know many of the people, and I'm not worried about what others think of me. I've learned to be myself, on and off the court. The schedule which she set for her- self in high school Will carry over to her life at college. She applied at Di- vision III colleges so that she would be able to continue participation in the three sports. . Shooting hoops prepares Iulie Davis for the upcoming game.

On a Saturday night Theresa Johnson, Iulie Fellbaum, and Jenny Choih gathered in Fellbaum's kitchen to compare answers on the forty-one point test. TAKE-HOME Testing at home sounds good, four hours of hard work doesn't id Buffington's third hour cal- culus class was the highest math class offered. The group of only nineteen seniors re- ceived a great deal of personal at- tention. The class began with a review of the basic trig concepts in order to begin with a solid base. Then the calculus problems were introduced. The majority of the students found the problems difficult, but it helps a lot When the tests are take-home! said senior, Michele Nicholls. The students took advantage of the take-home test situation and formed study groups Which met at different houses. Since this is Buffington's ninth year of teaching calculus at Coo- per, he is very familiar With stu- dents' study habits. He said, The reason I give take-home tests is to save on class time and also be- cause it allows me to ask more dif- ficult questions, since students have more time to work on the problems. In past years some parents have complained about the risk of cheat- ing among students. In reaction to this Buffington said, No matter what you do, if a person is dishon- est, that person Will have to live with the consequences. I feel that study groups are a good way for students to help each other check their an- swers and learn any material they found difficult. 86 - Seniors Jacquelyn Rita Lauer Tammy Ann Larson Michael John Kll'CI Enn Laughhn Lawrance Tonya Marie LeBrun Adam Robert Lee Shari Ann Leiner Eric Thomas Lenhart Charlene Rose Lewis Jeffrey W.

FUTURE Preparing for college isn't as fun as it's made out to be ne of many decisions that must be made as a senior is where to begin a post- high school career. Bro- chures, pamphlets, and applica- tions crowd the student's mail box- es, the kitchen table, and fill the space under their bed. Telephone calls from military re- cruiters are enough to make one want to lie about oneself. Once the military has a person's name they seem to hate to leave them alone. They reportedly try to contact a per- son at the most unexpected places. They even tried to reach me at church on Sunday morning, said senior Iustin Olson. One advantage concerning the military is that they offer a fair amount of money for college. Non-refundable application pro- cessing fees drain the money out of a person's pocketbook real easy. An individual pays the smaller col- leges fifteen or twenty dollars and major universities as much as two- hundred and fifty dollars. After the individual sends in their application, they sit and wait anx- iously for a reply. Sometimes the college Will call the student for an interview for further information, which can often make or break the student. Once accepted, they have to de- cide on how to finance their way through college. Tuition, room and board, typewriter or computer, transportation, and personal ex- penses all have to be considered when thinking about how to pay your way.

HOOPS Basketball captain heads toward Yale for medical career my senior using sayings such as we like it here's and oh, and we don't, might be interested in at- tending an Ivy League school, such as Yale e or something like Minne- sota Morris. Senior Scott Hegsted, a young man with his favorite color pur- ple and a goal of changing America's speaking habits, has already been unofficially accepted by the counsel- ing staff at Yale University. Hegstad became interested in Yale because of the reputation it has for medical school. There were also other reasons that interested him about this acclaimed school: I'm interested in Yale because of the prestige that this school has, and I also heard that it is a real party school. One wonders why he just doesn't go to St. Cloud if he wants to party. Hegstad, a busy man throughout 92 - Seniors the school year, was captain of the boys cross country team, captain of the boys basketball team, maintains a 4.0 g.p.a., and holds down a job at Sears on the weekends. I handle this business with a great deal of style, he said. Actually, being this busy, I have to eliminate a few things, such as eating and Tuesday night bowl- ing. During Hegstad's free time, he likes to gamble, perform at amateur com- edy events ifor which he once won fifty bucksi, attend equestrian events, and watch his favorite television show, Magnum PI. Hegstad's future plans consist of at- tending the University of Minnesota - Morris for four years of pre-med and then on to Yale for his true med- ical school, after which he hopes to be either a doctor or a stunt man.

Sonenstahl Laura Lynn Sorsoleil FORTITUDE Schedule problems and marching influence seniors to drop band ttendance is down in bands. Because of the small number of seniors in band, the sophomores didn't really have the leadership needed; however, this has also helped the sophomores with their future in the band. They have learned a lot this year and will be strong leaders in the years to come, explained band director, Roger Thompson. Having to play in Marching Band was a major reason for dropping out. Although senior Adam Lee en- joyed playing the trumpet when he was in band, he said, I wanted to have a fulfilling senior year spend- ing quality time with my fellow stu- dents in the bleachers for this last year of my secondary education in- stead of being isolated in the lonely section of bleachers with the March- ing Band. Senior Ion Hunt, an ex-drummer, quit because, as he said, I didn't want to sit in the rain with my pol- yester bell bottoms on. Scheduling conflicts were also a reason for the approximately twen- ty people who dropped the class. Kim Wold, a returning band mem- ber, said, There just wasn't any room left in my fellow flutists' sched- ules; they had more important things to fill it with. Most of the fourteen seniors who stayed plan to continue band in col- lege. They said they remained in band for the annual band trip and because it's a fun class.

Means and groans echoed throughout the halls as sun-seekers found out where their peers were headed. The five most popular hot-spots were Arizona, Colorado, Califor- nia, Florida, and Mexico. Mary Hahn, Cynthia Hebig, Shelly Schlief, and Cindy Kunza headed for Mazatlan, Mexico. They left March 29 and returned April 5. We all needed to just get away from Minnesota for awhile, get tan, and meet 'amigos,' said ahn. Bound for Arizona, Mary Bern- strom and Teri Tuenge stayed a week with Tuenge's brother and sister-in-law. Their transportation, which was a spare car borrowed from the family, was used to drive around and check out the hot men. Mark Evans, Ioe Stecker, Walt Broich, and Rusty Hable flew to Florida. They stayed for one week. My buddy's dad has a condo down there. It's pretty cheap, cheaper than Mexico, said Evans. Although a good majority of stu- dents had plans to escape Minne- sota's borders, a few remained in the state with plans to visit cabins, live in cramped quarters and rough it. Among these brave few, all in one cabin, were Dee Buys- tedt, Dana Olson, Sandy Strom, Amy Underberg, Michelle Schendel, Chris Carlson, Nancy Schoen, and Laura Weinzetl. The destination of their trip was Un- derberg's cabin in Alexandria. Some stayed home and enjoyed their leisure time, while others stayed home because of the twelve-day attendance policy. Some of these people tried hard to make it look as if they actually traveled to some exotic place. While everyone's soaking up the sun in tropical areas of the world, I'll be soaking up cancerous rays at the electric beach, said senior Tracy Berg.

Another reason, according to Fred Sellner, co-chairperson, who said, The International Market Square didn't lend itself to a Grand March. Sellner and Ian Hall, the other chairperson, headed the Junior Prom Committee. One of their major con- cerns involved throwing out the Grand March because of many complaints voiced from last year's Prom at- tendees. It was also the number one recommendation from the 1987 com- mittee. Most complaints involved par- ents crowding the march area to take pictures, and people who didn't pay for Prom drinking the punch and eat- ing the hor d'oeurves. Another change included moving Prom down to the main floor where the Atrium was. Students wanted this change because Wayzata's Prom looked more enjoyable. Switching the day to Friday was another change, because that was the only day that the Atrium was available. These decisions were made by the previous Prom Committee, but this committee Chose the theme and the colors. The Prom Committee invited sophomores and seniors to attend the meetings and voice their opinions. From some of the seniors we were able to find out what went wrong at last year's Prom and try to eliminate those problems, said junior, Tina Becchetti. I F red Sellner and Ian Hall supervise the?

EXPERIMENT Students learned about drugs through individual research nriched Chemistry students became experts on one sub- ject. At the beginning of the second semester they chose a project to research for the remain- der of the year. Chemistry teacher, Al Schober said, The goal is not to obtain specific results, but to learn the research process. Schober started the program at Robbinsdale Senior High in 1976 to teach the students how to go about obtaining new knowledge. They learned the methods and process of research by conducting their own experiments. The only requirement is that the subject be related to sci- ence, not necessarily chemistry, Schober said. The students spent the third quar- ter researching the work previously done on their subject in order to write a preliminary paper. Lab work began the beginning of the fourth quarter. The students spent about 20 hours of class time working on their labs. At the end of the year they wrote a final pa- per and gave an oral report explain- ing their results to the class. Many times one project will be con- tinued over two or more years, Schober said. In past years students studied the effects of steroids on male rats, rocket fuel, the extraction of caf-v feine from soft drinks, and fingerprint- ing. They learned that even though their results did not turn out as they expected, their research was not a failure.

Rings also bring reminders of pep fests, Homecoming football games, and that first boyfriend or girlfriend that accepted this symbol of traditional love. Class rings have a sentimental val- ue to most, but to others they are just fun to purchase and keep as a me- mento. Sophomore Kari Skogrand said, Getting my class ring will be second best only to getting my driver's license, if I ever get it! to describe the fun of buying a class ring. Although class rings cost around $200, members of the student body still purchase them. They seem most im- portant to sophomores because they give them some connection to the school and the rest of the student body. Like a Letter jacket, a class ring sym- bolizes the pride of our school. said Adam Rautio, sophomore. Class rings, those little expensive jewels, basically act as a link to the school and signify being a high school student; yet after graduation, they be- come a valuable keepsake, a memory that will last forever, unless they be- come lost. You will have it tclass ring for many years to come, and it will remind you of high school memories good or had, said Paul Bettein, soph- omore. Sophomore Kim Haselius and junior Jeff Hen- nessey share a special moment together. The rings signify that they belong to each other.

Even the administration treats sophomores differently than the jun- iors and seniors. First, they get their pictures taken before school even starts, in theory, to ease the tran- sition. Second, they are rounded up into the auditorium to learn the school song and to impress in their memories the rules and regulations of RCHS. Finally, they are required to take health and phy. ed., true sophomore classes. Some upperclassmen have been known to say that certain tendencies distinguish sophomores from juniors and seniors. For in- stance, it is rumored that a majority of the sophomores listen carefully to 120 - Sophomores the informative morning announce- ments. Reports also indicate that they climb up the down-staircase or descend the up-staircase. Sopho- mores reportedly are those staring, awestruck, at juniors and seniors. Sophomores tend to hang out in the front foyer. There, they are ei- ther waiting to be picked up or have just been dropped off by a parent, since they do not drive. A few seniors and juniors insist sophomores truly believe there is a pool on the fourth floor, citing as evidence that they cluster near the elevators, Which never seem to go up past the third level. This is the way it is -- or so it seems. The traditional teasing continues each year, but juniors and seniors agree sophomores will always be sophomores.

I STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS: president. Nicole Posse; vice-president, Jason Zeaman; secretary, Ienny Choih. -. Blore, who has been the Student Council adviser for more than ten years said, It's ex- citing to watch the students bring up issues on their own and form committees because they are developing their leadership skills. 132 e Student Council ISSUE Council passes resolutions nce again, two representc- tives from each homeroom formed the Student Council. The Council met every other week to discuss issues that students wished to have brought to the attention of the administration. The members brouglt their opinions before the Council ct large. The president, Nicole Posse; vi- ce president, Jason Zeaman; and sec- retary, Ienny Choih, would further the issue by forming committees to look into the selected issue. An example is that of the Honor Pass policies. Six juniors volunteered to visit Osseo Se- nior High to get information about how their Honor Pass system worked. Some issues need not have committees formed; instead they were taken straight to the administration staff to deal with. Don Blore once again headed the Council. I enjoy watching young peo- ple develop authoritative qualities and succeed. Having a positive relation- ship with the administration makes the issues that involve them easier to deal with. The new attendance rules created many problems for those seniors want- ing to visit colleges during a school day. The Student Council resolved that interested seniors be excused to visiting a particular college on any given school day, but the administra- tion deferred a decision to the atten- dance committee. Two major issues which were dis- cussed and resolved were the selec- tion of graduation gowns and the! blood drive. The seniors had three differen: gowns to choose from. They decided to purchase the same gowns as the pre- vious year. Selected students visited. the Blood Bank center in January where they learned about the proce- dures to have the blood drive. Overall, as far as accomplishment goes, many issues were passed to g0 to the administration, and the group seemed to stay rational and civilized while waiting for the verdict. 1 Mary Bernstrom, senior, gives advice to co-chairperson, Fred Sellner, based on her experience from last year. 1 1 Prom committee member, Mary Wrase, and co-chairperson, Ian Hall, respond to recommendations from the committee mem- bers. 1 11Iuniors.

Caryl Bugge accepted the po- :ition of adviser, which she shared vith Assistant Principal John Lloyd. Ms. Bugge was the real vertebrate on which the Honor Society was built, aaid Chris Harris, president of the NHS. Her new approaches, especial- iy during the induction ceremony, were refreshing and inventive. The time of the induction ceremony switched from Spring to December. Having the ceremony in December made it possible for new senior mem- bers to put the NHS on their college applications. As in previous years, the officers, Harris, Tim Lloyd, Eric Skogrand, and Stephanie Hawes, each spoke about the Honor Society's principles: service, leadership, scholarship, and charac- ter. A 1973 graduate, Neil Franz spoke to the members about balance in stu- dents' lives and taking part in more than one activity. One new idea was that returning members were asked to choose a per- son, whom they respected, to be honored at the ceremony. I liked hon- oring the adults, because they are the people, who inspired most of the stu- dents on the Honor Society, said Angie Ring, junior member of the NHS. One day in January, meetings were scheduled all day in the media center, for all members to attend. At these meetings, members thought of ideas for fund raisers and community proj- ects. They also discussed reforms, which they would like to see in school. Iunior members expressed their thoughts on the induction ceremony and suggested ideas for next year's. Many new ideas were brought up at these meetings, and more changes will, no doubt, occur in the future. 1 President, Chris Harris, speaks about char- acter.

National Honor Society - 135 DEADLINES 'Screaming editors and crabby adviser' add to a stylish year I here's the white out? There were ten grease pencils here just yesterday! I can't stay because I have to work. Copy is due on Fri- day! Pass the cropper. What a mess! If you want out just go, don't write it on the typewriter. The '88 Talons started taking form in June when the editors went off to Gus- tavus Adolphus College to attend the Taylor Yearbook Workshop. Wanting to change the book by adding flair and excitement, they took what they learned and incorporated it to fit the theme, We've Got Style. With their fresh information the staff- ers began work on the first deadline in October. Many new staffers didn't know what to expect when they joined yearbook and found out just how much work goes into the book and how re- lationships play an important role in it. Senior Lisa Olson said, You have to learn to work with people to meet a deadline. New features to the book included more graphics, a mini mag and bigger headlines. Said managing editor, Ien- ny Choih, I learned at yearbook camp that there were so many graph- ics that could be incorporated into the book. Everything did not go entirely as planned, though. What is a year with- out a few mishaps? On the final dead- line when everyone thought that it was free sailing, two pages were discov- ered missing. A quad pak was quickly redesigned and sent off with the other pages. Other typical troubles formed throughout the year. Sports seasons sometimes didn't coincide with dead- lines and those pages had to be pushed back. Also, having to send film to Scherling-Pletsch to be developed was time consuming. Since each deadline was set at least a week ahead of the real date, quad paks were miraculously finished on time and everything mailed, said Stephanie Hawes, Editor-in-Chief. Many Friday nights, around midnight, light still radiated from room 301 as dedicated staffers held marathon ses- sions to finish on time. The longest lasted until 2:30 am. As February came to a close, so did the book. Said Erin Pearman, junior, I liked being able to see what we had done actually in print. fwzw J, 136 - Talons w t A, Aw W I Jenny Choih, lean Fellbaum, and Stephanie Hawes help Iulie Fellbaum on her senior sec- tion.

CENSOR Standards set by Supreme Court doesn't change paper bold new design graced the cover and inside of the Qu1'11, along with other changes, in- cluding an expanded features page and more relevant editorials. The design was updated when the 1986-87 Qu1'11 was reviewed by the Na- tional High School Press Association and was told to take bolder steps to- wards more graphics and layout. Art- ist Greg Iohnson and Editor-in-Chief Ion Hunt spent time updating a design formulated during a summer journal- ism convention. The post-modern el- ements caught people's eyes and were more pleasing and colorful, said Hunt. The features page was updated to include thematic in-depth feature spreads about such diversified sub- jects as the Summer of Love, Tru- ancy, Artists, and Homecoming. The year also saw the debut of a new comic strip, Closer Than You Think, by Greg Iohnson and Jason Zeaman. I think the strip has a unique individuality and a bizarre humor that appeals to everyone, said Shack- elford, junior features writer. Another popular feature on the arts page were the record reviews, written by people who were knowledgeable about mu- sic. Arts Editor Allison Hoekstra, writer Mollie Stickney, and editor Ion Hunt, all musically trained, presented their views on a number of popular and alternative albums. Headed by adviser, Vern Hollister, the Qui11 was a vehicle for students to express their minds even in the face of the Hazelwood case, in which the Su- preme Court set new and harsher cen- sorship standards for the High School Press. I felt that the new censorship laws didn't affect the Quill; we had the ability to express ourselves in a ful- filling manner, said staffer Scott Brown. Our principal, G. David Knutson. has faith that we will make the correct decisions, Hollister said. 'That's what I have you for,' he told me.

Olson FESTIVALS Prose to poetry, discussion to drama, declam wins awards eclamation, an extra- curricular speech and discus- sion activity, started out with much enthusiasm for many students seeking better speaking skills. More than 40 people participated in the 11 different categories; students carefully researched and practiced different speech pieces. The activity was coached by seven teachers, with two collaborating as one coaching team. left Philips, Iulia Rask, Caryl Bugge, Sue Kelly, Ian Kuretsky, and Pat Felth coached the different categories. The head coach was Phyllis Kromer, who has been in- volved in Declam for thirty years, and this year was honored for her many years of service. On F ebruary 20, the team partic- ipated in a Declam festival in Duluth, which involved teams from around the state. The trip lasted two days, and students competed both with others and with themselves. Three Cooper students placed in the events: Shan- non Smith took first place in the Poetry category, Mollie Stickney took second in Drama, and Stephanie Hawes took third place in the Great Speeches event. Declaimers were asked to at- tend at least two meets and, according to senior Chris Cook, It was a great experience which really helped me to improve. Declam helps students to speak more effectively and to develop better speaking and organizational skills. Declam will help me in future plays, said Iulie Mundale, junior. Competi- tors learned skills that will help them in the future. Other than Duluth, the students alse participated in four other festivals, at Shakopee, Bloomington Jefferson, Coon Rapids, and Forest Lake. Com- petition for state began with sub- regions, April 12, and Region finals the following week. State competition was held on April 20. Working for State gave me a goal to reach for, said senior Jenny Choih, I really wanted to go this year, and it helped me to work harder in the fes- tivals I attended. Declamation: Back row: D.

Mike McGrath said, I learned how to become a polite loser and a modest winner. The team practiced Monday through Friday, before and after school. Not having a job helped me put more time into practice, said Chuck Nickles, a member of the novice team.

Members of the club spent most of their summer welcoming the visitors as they arrived in the United States. The members showed the exchange students different cultures around the Twin Cities area. Christina Ripman Hansen from Spain said, If it weren't for the World Citizen's Club and my family I am staying with, I would be lost. They really helped me feel like I belong here. The meetings are held every other Wednesday. Marti Reckdahl, the ad- viser, said, I enjoy working with the students and working With the differ- ent cultures. The officers of the club are Tammy Iohcmson, president; Nc- lan Shackelford, vice president; Tan - my Larson, secretary; and Kele Nath a as treasurer.

The exchange students agreed that when they arrived, they felt frightened but yet anxious for the new experiences waiting ahead. One of Tomas Borg's discoveries in- cluded a way to decorate a house with toilet paper. You've got to be kid- ding, he expounded. You people are really weird here. The foreign exchange students agreed it was difficult at first because they didn't really know what to expect of American people or what Ameri- cans would think of them. However, after the ice was broken they said they easily made friends, keeping the memories of the ones back home. Ale- jandra Robles, from Mexico, said that she really missed her boyfriend in nu home as well as her family. Borg fr: m1 Sweden, however, didn't miss his to m. ily or friends as much as he missed nis pet mouse, Matilda. Next to missing friends, family and pets, the exchange students miss ad the food from their home country. M: II- tha Martienz, from Spain said, It was hard to get used to the food here; it is; a lot different. Contrary to Martienz's view, Norwegian Klaus Vaethe likes American food. His favorite is cheeseburgers, The bigger the better They are the greatest! And I like them really greasy, he exclaimed. Though each of the foreign ex change students expresses positive comments about Cooper High Schoo and the United States, in general, they said that they are glad to go back home now that the year is over.

ACAPELLA Chambers perform for variety of Holiday audiences, events hey exceed my expectations, said Paula Holmberg, the direc- tor of the Chamber Singers. The twenty-member group was busiest during the holiday season. They were asked to perform at North Metro, Co- lonial Acres and North Ridge nursing homes, and the American Legion. At the Terrance Mall they performed Christmas carols to add to the festive atmosphere. During the year they were asked to sing for many variety events from a breakfast at the District Central Office to a pepfast during Homecoming to a dinner at the Golden Valley Country Club. Holmberg said, The group pro- Iided entertainment with pleasure. The selections of songs were chosen by Holmberg. They ranged from madrigals to contemporary to vocal jazz. .. At the Golden Valley Country Club, Ann VanDusen, Harold Gossard, Ted Hesse and Debbie Albus perform for a very attentive audience. This was one of many concerts the Chamber Singers gave during the year. Ted Hesse, tenor, second year Chamber Singer said, We are full of unity, and that makes me feel good when we perform. The traditional formal attire was continued. The girls wore an emerald green, iridescent taffeta and velvet gown, while the boys wore black tux- edos with matching emerald green bow ties and cummerbunds. It was well worth being a part of the group, even though the dresses were very expensive, said senior Allison Hoek- stra. The Chamber Singers meet for one class period everyday without receiv- ing a school credit. Katy Tessman said, It used to bother me that we didn't receive school credit towards graduation, but not any more, because my only reward is singing well, and this is a great group to sing well with! I During rehearsal, Iulie Ruddy sits down to sight read a jazz vocal piece. The song was per- formed at the Spring Concert. Chamber Singers - 149 150 - Choir PRODUCTION Select, Concert Choirs build their voices and abilities im, vigor, and vitality! Often, before a choir rehearsal. the director, Paula Holmberg, spoke these words. Holmberg wanted each choir member to keep this in mind while singing, because she be- lieves it will help the choir to perform at a high level of intensity. Holmberg directs two choirs, Select Choir and Concert Choir, the former primarily consisting of seniors and juniors, but including, also, five soph- omores. They are vocally advanced for their age, Holmberg said, about why she put them in the choir. Brenden Ober, a sophomore tenor in the Select Choir said, I love being able to sing with people who have a lot of talent. The Concert Choir is a building choir. Made up mostly of sophomores, they work on building the range of their voices. They sing fewer and eas- ier songs and concentrate on becom- ing more accurate on notes, intona- tion, and the reading of music. To begin the year, officers were elected after a week long campaign- ing of posted signs and speeches. The officers for Select Choir are Harold Gossard, president; Eric Skogrand, vi- ce president; Shannon Smith, secre- tary; Andrea Cronen, treasurer. The officers for Concert Choir are Suzie Salhus, president; Ben Anderson, vice president, Tiffany Hanson, secretary; and Tony Rogich, treasurer. The officers meet once a month and work together to decide on the fund raisers and the administration of them. They also plan social events and take charge when Holmberg is absent or busy. In December the choirs held their winter concert. It opened with the Women's Ensemble singing the Alleluia fanfare from the light booth balcony. It ended with the traditional Hallelujah Chorus, with alumni join- ing the choirs. New to the concert was the addition of the orchestra during the Gloria Movement oi Hayden's Mass in B flat and the Hallelujah Chorus. It added a lot of spice to the per- formance, said Janice Sawatsky, 1987 alumni. In February, Armstrong's choirs joined with Cooper's choirs and per- formed Hayden's Mass in B flat. It's nice to see the two schools perform together instead of compete, said Charon Tessman, mother of choir member Katy Tessman. In March, the Select Choir ,partic- ipated in a Twin Cities choir compe- tition, singing three selections. In May the select Choir and Concert Choir gave a spring concert. Also in May, the select Choir went to the Ozarks. They traveled, toured, and performed for five days. It was the longest trip the Cooper Choir has ever had. I don't mind the long bus ride. That's where all the fun and inside jokes start, said senior, Laura Weinzetl. The choir raised money for the trip by selling Happenings books, cook- ies and jewelry.

The forty member or- chestra performs music from ba- roque, renaissance and classical periods as well as contemporary and more modern selections. The orchestra played at the Homecoming pepfest in October, a winter concert in December, and gave a spring concert in May. In February, the orchestra joined with Armstrong's orchestra and both school's choirs and performed Hayden's Mass in B Flat. The annual All-District Orchestra Festival was held in March. The fes- tival includes all orchestra students in the district, from elementary to high school ages. This festival is a fantastic opportunity for all levels of CONCERTS Orchestra performs different styles, both past and present students to play together, said Ka- ren Olson, director. This was Olson's first year at Coo- per. I really like the way she di- rects and teaches, said Tammy Iohanson, senior. Orchestra students participated in the Region 6AA Solo and En- semble contest held in April. An- other opportunity for several or- chestra members was the GTCY'S, or the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies. This organization of- fers a large full orchestra experi- ence for students who pass the au- dition. GTCY'S presents concerts in the finest halls in the Twin Cities. Olson describes orchestra mem- bers as students who are not only outstanding academically, but also involved in many extra-curricular activities. It takes an extra effort to do all of the things orchestra kids do - but in the long run they're the first ones to admit that it's worth it. ORCHESTRA: Front Row: T. Hanna, S. Iones, K. Hanson.

I tried out for the position of Drum Major because I felt it would be fun and would provide me with some leadership skills I may be able to use later, Rabe said. According to Thompson, he was chosen for the po- sition because of his leadership and authority and did an excellent job. Rabe said, It's been a new chal- lenge, given me some leadership ex- perience, and it's been a lot of fun. On the other hand, the Jazz Band spent the year performing at Cooper's brat feed, three band concerts, a pepfest, and Snow Week. They started out the year slowly but progressed each month. Thompson said, The band is mainly formed for the students' enrichment, and that's what we aimed Throughout the year both the con- cert and Symphonic Bands partici- pated in fundraisers to help finance their trip to St. Louis, Missouri, in April. Band members sold Happenings books and fruit. The money they earned was cred- ited toward the trip. During their stay in St. Louis the Symphonic Wind En- semble competed against bands from around the' country in the Gateway Music F estival. Because of the lack of enrollment, especially from the Senior Class, some aspects of the band program were changed. The usual three bands were reduced to two. This means that there was quite a lack of experience, yet Thompson remained optimistic throughout the year. This year has been like a building block for the band and holds well for the future. On the whole it's been a pretty good year. i i , MW W ,W W .aWMwW, JAZZ BAND: Front Row: J. Osgood. Second Row: C. Harris, N. Krasnoff, A. Ring, I. Hargrove. Third Row: R. Thompson, S. Suhr, I.

LOUIS Bands travel to Missouri, compete in music festival omething new and exciting awaited the performing band. Symphonic Concert Band was cut from the schedule because Don Spangler was assigned to teach at Hosterman Junior High which made the Symphonic Winds and Concert Band larger and leaving Roger Thompson to fend for himself. It is a lot less confusing with only one di- rector, but it gives me lots of extra work, too, said Thompson. The two bands were very similar to each other. The Concert Band was for students interested in playing a mu- sical instrument for enjoyment but not in pursuing it. They played to learn some techniques while enjoying dif- ferent types of music from modem to classical. Symphonic Band was for more ded- icated music students who hope to play their instruments after high school or go on to a career dealing with music. They also played a dif- ferent variety of music, but also more complicated scores. They had to spend more time learning the music. The band trip was to be something new for everyone. The band went to St. Louis, Missouri, to perform in the Gateway Music Festival competition sponsored by the University of Mis- souri. After the competition the band saw the sights. They went to the Mu- seum of Westward Expansion, then on a tour of the Gateway Arch followed by a visit to Grant's home. To top off the trip they spent a day at Six Flags Great America. I have never been there, and it was great fun, said jun- ior Sue Gundershaug. The bands performed at two con- certs, one in the fall and the other in the spring. The bands chose which songs they wanted to play by voting on selections Thompson had pre- selected. The selections chosen were mostly modern songs. Band members like the modern songs better than the older ones, said Jason Osgood. C ONCERT BAND: Front Row: L. Bells, L. Leistiko, T. May. K. Long. L. Wanner, I. Tjaden, I. Leech, K. Merick, K.

Senior Kathy Long, captain of the Silks, worked to keep the group syn- chronized and in step. They practiced every day during sixth mod and Tues- days and Thursdays after school for one hour. Practices were different than they were last year. Each member was re- sponsible for making up a routine and teaching it to the rest of the squad. Long said, I really liked this way. It gave each girl a responsibility and pride in the routines they do, and it relieves some of the pressure on me to make up all the routines. During Homecoming, the Silks sport- ed a new look. Metallic blue streamers trailed on the ends of the flags, which gave a dazzling look, something in- teresting and different, they felt, to break the monotony of the regular flags. They sparkled in the lights from the field, said returning alumna Wendy Waszut. After being in Silks for two years, this year has been the most fun, es- pecially our pizza expeditions before our performances, said Amy Tess- mer. The Silks had a productive year, ad- ding different dance steps and new types of twirls to their routines, ac- cording to Kim Newman, senior. SILKS: Front Row: A. Tessmer, K. Long, A. Gibson.

OVER Cooper's only twirlers spin out I hough having to put up with frozen fingers and frozen legs, Iodi and I twirled for our third straight year as the baton twirling duo, Ann Van Dusen said. Van Dusen, along with her partner Iodi Gustafson, have been the only twirlers in the history of Robbinsdale Cooper. Van Dusen started baton in the eighth grade. After becoming close friends with Gustatson, the two girls eventually found out they both twirled. Under the subsequent instruction of Gustafson's mother, the girls re- hearsed together before deciding to audition for baton twirlers when they got to Cooper for their sophomore year. Out of the four girls that audi- tioned, they were chosen. One of the most exciting moments must have been when we twirled fire tor the first time, our sophomore year, Van Dusen said. It was so exciting because of the way the audience re- acted. It seems like they were quite astonished. because nothing this dan- gerous had ever been attempted be- fore. When Van Dusen isn't twirling, she spends most of her time drawing. Some of her work, mostly pencil draw- ings, have been displayed in the showcase windows throughout the year. She also participated in the mu- sicals, chamber singers, yearbook staff and cheerleading. Gustafson started baton at the age of four and participated in many baton competitions under the instruction of her mother. Now, she, too, teaches techniques of baton to future baton twirlers. She spends part of her extra time going to concerts such as U2, R.E.M., and The Cure. She also holds a job at Frank's, Where she works twenty IT Performingafingertwirl, as she's done thousands of times, Ann Van Dusen concludes her routine. hours CI week, working the register, She is also a member of the World Citizen's Club and the yearbook staff.

Instead of buying or sewing new costumes for each football game, as in previous years, they wore the same eye-catching outfits for near- ly all of their performances and com- petitions. The costume was a silver se- quined blue, white, and orange V on the front and bottom and a V slit back. The season started early in the sum- mer with practices at 6 a.m. and par- ticipation in the Brainerd, Crosby, Crystal Frolics, and Whiz Bang pa- rades. As with many dancelines, a choreographer, Lee-Ann Johnson, was hired and stayed with the line for half a year. After a busy summer, rehearsal for the first football game began. In ad- dition to the home games and pepfests, another change was in the participation at a boy's soccer game against Armstrong, and also a return after a long absence to basketball games. After controversy about the late hours of practice after school, one- third of the thirty-member line re- signed. This resulted in a winter tryout. The line accepted five new dancers. The Cooperettes competed in four competitions throughout the year, which were Apple Valley, State, Stout and the University of Minnesota. Their best finish was at Stout where they placed second. They also won first place in the Anoka Halloween pa- rade. Said Co-Captain Kelly Erikson, The line was really good, and we all got along well. The season finally ended with the traditional lack of Hearts dance. It was co-sponsored by the Cooperettes and the Silks. Cooperettes e 161 FALL A-SQUAD: Front Row: S. Lien, M. McOmie, S. Berg. C.

RITZY They've got a flashy new look ew uniforms, members, mounts and stunts were introduced by the cheerleaders at the pepfests, games and competitions. Over the summer the A-squad de- cided to purchase new uniforms. Shannon Gordhamer, junior, said, We had new girls, and some of the uniforms were too small and there was a limited amount, too. Most of us just wanted a new look. Jean Roof, the new cheerleading adviser helped the girls decide upon the outfits within their budget. The uniforms consisted of orange sweaters With Hawks printed across them, blue skirts with orange trim, jerseys with personal nick- names; and to finish them off, blue and white tennis shoes. First-time members to the A-squad, Lara Hanson and Nancy Thompson, juniors, both agreed that it was difficult learning all of the cheers. Over the summer the cheerleaders spent early morning practices working on new mounts and stunts, that they learned at summer camp at the Uni- versity of Minnesota. Getting up was hard but it all seemed to pay off toward the end, said Shelley McDonough, junior. At the camps, they were introduced to more complex and difficult stunts. Safety skills were stressed to protect them from injury. The A-squad entered their first com- petition during the fall and received the Most Spirited award. Participat- ing in the Whiz Bang Days parade and performing at Cooper alumni's twen- tieth class reunion were two of the events in which the girls took part. One of the biggest changes was in squad organization. They agreed to eliminate captains. Gordhamer said, We decided not to have particular captains this year; instead everyone would work together. With that deci- sion it seemed to keep everyone much happier. I I I Boisterously, Holly Laurent, Amy Blake, and Michelle McOmie use all their power to help .

These are the words Which Students Against Drunk Driving tSADDi offer to each parent with a student at Cooper. It enabled parents and their teenager to call one another if they had been drinking. SADD provides an open forum for students to discuss their views and concerns on drunk driving. Preventing people from driving drunk is one of the major concerns in my life, said Tina Becchetti. a member of SADD. SADD is led by Lanny Orning, the chemical concerns counselor. I'm happy to be able to help these stu- dents express their views on drunk driving, Orning said. The group meets once every two weeks. In October three members of the group, Becchetti, Ienni Adams, and Julie Mundale visited the Control Factor Seminar at the Roseville Hol- iday Inn, along with other Minnesota SADD members, to learn how to teach their classmates about the conse- quences and other alternatives of drunk driving. Mundale learned from other students, They may have dif- ferent views about drinking; but when it comes to driving drunk, they all hold the same opinion - that it is not safe. 5 ADD: Front Row: C.

It was their last chance to do so together. 180 - Football AN ENIGMA Through the season, athletes set records, yet team finishes 3-6 dozen records were broken or tied as quarterback Tim Palm threw to the all-conference ti- tle, running back Ieff Olson smashed the Cooper rushing record, Chris Hunt took leading receiving hon- ors in the Lake Blue, Ted Harrison was the first Hawk to ever be named the number one Minnesota college recniit, and Tim Lloyd tied for the number of interceptions in one game with three against St. Louis Park. And yet, the season ended with a 20-0 loss to Wayzata to finish the sea- son 3-6. The reason, according to co- captain Harrison, We weren't fast enough; we couldn't catch anyone af- ter they broke away. The season had a shaky start. We were asleep the first three quarters of the Armstrong game, said head coach Ert Iones-Hermerding. Then Cooper scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The Armstrong comeback was a real highlight because after the fourth quarter, we knew we could play even though we lost 28-21 in overtime, said Matt Haberle, senior linebacker. Harrison considered the first game against Wayzata a highlight. We played Wayzata real tough, and we considered them to be one of the best teams. The Hawks lost 10-7. With an 0-4 home record and two- year home record of 1-8, the Hawks have had trouble at Mielke Field. Maybe we are too used to Mielke; and when we go to a different setting, we play better, Harrison said. They had a unique flair as they tended to have more fun. Other teams got mad during a game, and we joked around a lot. They even picked on their own teammates. Every week we found someone to pick on, Harrison said. Homecoming was a disappointment as the Hawks lost 28-7 to Hopkins, a smaller and faster team. After the Hawks marched down to the goal line, Hopkins changed to a different de- fense which Cooper was unable to ad- just to for the rest of the game. The game typified the season. The inability to adapt is historic at Cooper. A shining start seems to precede the dull end. Each year the sophomores win 7 or 8 games and then when they get to varsity manage a close to .500 season. 1 Tim Lloyd downs the ball in the end zone.

SLOW START I' he varsity soccer team struggles :hrough season and rule changes ecause of tough new rules made for the COOper soccer team by one of the coaches, Dave Law- son, the season began slowly. be boys found it more difficult to play ince the rules required not commu- ,.1icating while on the field, no punting of the ball, and no through balls. After awhile, Lawson allowed some of the restrictions to be dropped be- cause it turned out to hurt their playing more than it helped, according to Todd Streich, junior. After the team stopped using the new rules, he said they be- gun to play better. In the first game of the play-offs, they upset Central Min- nesota Christian High School, 6-0. The second play-off game at Minnetonka did not leave the team with as many pleasant memories. Minnetonka got ahead quickly With a couple of cheap goals, said Tom Simonson, junior. Hawks' goalie, Steve Pearson, stopped a penalty shot, keeping them close enough to come back. They did score two goals but ended up losing to the Skippers 4-2. Streich summarized the team and tough season. We had a good team, and we could have gone far; but the other teams just played harder. Mwhmk VARSITY SOCCER: Front Row: D. Bauman. N. Fritz, C.

We were more or less just out to have fun, said Cynthia Hebig, a starting senior. The team finished the season with an overall 5-8-2 record and a con- ference standing of 3-2-2. They went on to beat Park Center during the first game of regions by a score of 1-0 but lost the second game to Armstrong by an identical score. Because many injuries plagued the team early in the season, head coach Gary Stefano focused practices more on the basic skills rather than con- ditioning, hoping to improve technique instead of endurance. Chris Carlson, another starter, said that communication was sometimes a problem. We weren't really getting our problems out in the open. Despite injuries and a losing season, the team did Win four of their last five season games in shutouts. The team was relatively inexperienced. We really did improve, though, Hebig said, and that's what counts. VARSITY SOCCER: Front Row: D. Idstrom, L. Rausch, L. Henrehan, S. Carlson, S. Meincn't, L. Gore, M. Dimberio, C. Hebig.

Even though the varsity players had Larson as sophomores two years ago, they started from the basics and relearned the common skills under her watchful eye. Being able to coach varsity was a personal challenge and a lot of fun, especially since I already knew the girls, said Larson. The junior varsity and sophomore teams had new coaches, Karen Bur- sey and Sue Jacobson. Having cm all female staff had some advantages for the players. I could relate better to Kris and Ka- ren because they understood our emo- tional problems better, said Amy Un-V derberg, senior. The team was outside running and exercising in August before school started. Co-captains Char Lewis and Underberg led captain's practice for a week before Larson took over the practices and stretched them from the three hour time to six hours. Captain's practice is good to have, but we don't try our best like we do with the coaches looking at us, said Lisa Duenow, junior. With a 3-4 conference record, Coo- per came in fourth, and finished with an overall record of 6-16. We had our ups and downs, but we stayed together as a team and had a good time, said Lewis, an all con- ference hitter. Larson thought the team was well rounded and everyone had a job to do and did it to the best of their ability. It was a successful season, she said. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL: Front Row: M. Nicholls. T.

Goals reached by each member and the high spirits and friendships made were all a part of the season. They started practicing in the mid- dle of August. After two weeks of swimming outside at the Crystal pool, they moved to their home territory at Hosterman Junior High School. Halfway through September, each girl on the team set a goal for herself. The goal was the amount of time each swimmer wanted to drop on her event at the swim meets. Each week the goal would change with the amount of time wanted to be dropped increasing.

Though they never won a meet, the rest of the team showed improvement over previous years as backstroker Debbie King and Lori Buckley, a but- terflier, and both of their relay teams qualified for regional finals, the first time since 1984. Team spirits remained high through- out the season even though they never won a meet.

The team stuck together through regions where everyone reduced their times and set personal bests. Although the team suffered a lack of participants, according to Hegstad, Nearly all the individuals met their goals. The leading time on the girls' team belonged to Julie Davis who took fourth in the conference, was named to all-conference, and cut twenty-nine seconds off her time. Morris spent much of the season trying to catch up to Davis, but partly due to an injury remained second. The boys' team had no standouts although they had more participants. Still they were smaller than other teams. Hegstad said, We tended to think negatively when compared with teams of larger numbers. We had to do the best we could with the numbers we had and compare ourselves to our- selves rather than to others. Sporadically throughout the season, meets were cancelled due to rain and cold weather. Most were not made up. According to Davis, this hurt the team. The more we raced, the more prac- tice we got, and we wouldn't be so nervous at the next meet. But cross country wasn't only work, they also had fun. According to Heg- stad, Something I'll always remember is the closeness of the team. We were all friends. For the record, they finished sixth in the conference. s.

Mealtime jocks have leaped, smashed, and scored rather than eat and drink. Some par ticipate for extra practice. Others play because, due to other commitments, they haven't any other Chance to play competitively. What sport to play is usually de- termined by what the gym classes are playing to decrease the set-up and take-down times. Time has become an important factor since the lunch mods have been shortened. Some act1v1ties such as ping pong have been spoe radically out due to the time shortage. Competitiveness, while not a re- quirement for participation, is often a predominating factor. Some games can get overly rough, but it's all in the name of fun.

The season started rather slowly. as the members were being oriented with Ecklin's style, different from previous head coach, Dan Cragg's. Evan built our strength and flexibility. The varsity guys were more aggressive than last year, said Adam Peterson, a varsity horseman. Injuries were not as much of a prob- lem as is most often the case with this rigorous sport. We got through the season with relatively few injuries, said Linh Nguyen, a returning all- arounder. The varsity competition was stiffer than the year before, according to Todd Small, a lettering senior. The season was tough at first, and my per- formances were a little rocky, but I learned a lot, said Small. Though the season is taken serious- ly, individual statistics seem to over- shadow the team scores once state competition comes near. The IV squad had an impressive season, finishing fourth in state, not as well as 1987's first place standing, but you've got to remember, the people on IV now have only been in gymnastics for one or two years, Small said. Small is a IV horseman and next year's co-captain. Gymnastics has also brought the sister schools together. There were on- ly about six Cooper gymnasts on the CoopeVArmstrong team this season. I think it allows for camaraderie with Armstrong instead of always compet- ing against them. It gets the schools a little more together, and that's a good feeling, concluded Small.

Then one of their captains, Janelle I-hnson, resigned because of work c nd school.

John- son, a senior, said, I love to work with the girls, but I don't have the time to continue for myself. The team practiced at Robbinsdale Senior High School along with Arm- strong. Their gymnastics team had about thirty girls with three coaches. Cooper's had eight girls with two coaches, which was an advantage in some ways, such as providing more individualized attention, thought some of the girls. Coach Karen Atkinson, a former Cooper student and member of the gymnastics team said, We need to get more girls out for the gymnastics team if we want to stay separate from the Armstrong team. Right now, there are only seventeen girls' gymnastics teams left in the state. We may be small, but we're strong, said co-captain Tanya Var- gas, giving the more and more famil- iar comment about another one of Cooper's sports. GIRLS GYMNASTICS WE THEY 44.1 ST.

Last winter was short, with little snow. Cooper's co-ed Cross Country ski team completed only about half the meets. Late in the season a blizzard hit and brought some of that sought after snow. From mid-Ianuary, the skiers were in a much better mood. Unfortunately, the early lack of snow wasn't the only problem which the team faced. The number of par- ticipants decreased rapidly. Minneso- ta skiers numbered 250 fewer than the previous year. We started with twenty-five skiers and now only twelve are still with us, said Coach Bob O'Hara, who is facing his fourth season since 1974 with snow BLIZZARD Long-awaited snowstorm puts happy smiles on skiers' faces problems. When the usual ski trails don't have enough snow, the team fills their time other ways. We run for conditioning, wax our skis and hope for more snow, said Sheri Krampitz, senior. Some skiers have gone out of town in search of snow. Others use lakes and ponds that can be skied on, but this is a dis- advantage, especially for beginners. When you ski on a lake, you don't get the experience of hills, and it's more slippery, said Krampitz. Though the weather was against them and some meets were cancelled, the team came through the season to- gether. Under bad conditions and with a lack of people, we did our best and everyone improved greatly on their skis, said Willy Enck, captain. wawwwm , t ,, HMMW, m 4 CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING BOYS WE THEY 20 Eden Prairie 47 37 Richfield 42 l 8 Burnsville 49 2 l Wayzata 46 l 5 Edina 50 2 l Minnetonka 47 23 Kennedy 48 l 9 Hopkins 48 18 Jefferson 49 17 Armstrong 50 e Heading off for practice, Jenny Olson works on her form and technique. +- H While just learning to ski, Lisa Olson spends as much time on the ground as on her new skis.

A continually larger number of swimmers transfer to Armstrong rather than attend Cooper because their swim team has in the past few years had a larger team and a winning re- cord, thus creating another endan- gered sport at Cooper. Those who remain at Cooper are not all that bothered by the size of their team, though. Iunior co-captain, Chad Potter said, We may be a small team, but considering our size, we are quite strong compared to larger teams. ...

Boys' Swimming - 213 PUCKSf Major strength weakens team I he difference this year was that there was a closer bond between the players, and we won more games, said Head Coach Ray Cosky. The Hawks finished the regular season at 10-10-1. The pucksters started the season with a bang at Mound Westonka with an 8-2 victory. At the end of the first period, a bench-clearing brawl oc- curred when, according to defen- seman Matt Haberle, an opposing player attacked a Hawk. Apparently, the officials agreed as they gave Mound more penalty minutes. According to Cosky, one highlight of the season was their good start. Winning the Hastings tournament and watching three junior varsity players, Daryl Peterson, Iohn Western, and Chad Iossart, improve to varsity was another major highlight. At the start of the season, Cosky had seemed optimistic about his inexpe- rienced defense. They've given me more positive results than I expected. They're meeting the offense on the blue line and not letting them get in deep, said Cosky. However, at the end of the season, he had changed his thinking, Our main weakness is our defensive team play including the forwards. We're not carrying out our responsibilities when we have to. After a mid-season 4-5 loss in over- time to Armstrong, Armstrong went on to be rated number one. However, Cooper was deflated by the loss. The Armstrong game really took a lot out of us, said junior Mark Hayek.

Previous records are wiped away, and new fac- es start to work together, learn- ing the plays and each other's habits.

Girls' Basketball - 221 DISAPPOINTING Hawks finish in last place in Lake Blue Division truggling throughout the sea- son, the boys' basketball team finished with a record of 1-19. Several factors attributed to their lack of success. First, only two seniors, the captains, played on the varsity squad, making for a very inexperienced team. Second, the tallest starter was 6'4 which is relatively short compared to other teams, and the remaining start- ers were between 5'11 and 6'1 com- prising a surprisingly short team over- all. We've worked hard to overcome a serious height deficiency. However, our record does not reflect this toil, said co-captain Scott Hegstad. Lastly, injuries plagued their sea- son.

Squad members cooperated with one another and worked together, each contributing what they had, to strive towards a common goal. Heg- stad also said that head coach Ron Bauerly kept the practices disciplined, perhaps the main reason for the team's unity. Reflecting back on the season as a whole, Hegstad says that he has no regrets, and the aspect he liked most was the players themselves. ii$wumxf$ N'M $.13 awmv awk'ii H r$r Boys' Basketball - 223 Hustlin' Hawks lack height JUNIOR VARSITY: Front Row: N.

STRENGTH Wrestlers surge forward with team, individual victories lthough the wrestling team did not make it to state, they put in a good showing at team regions. They had to place in the top six teams in order to make it back to re- gional finals and succeeded, placing fourth. However, once they got to the finals, they lost their first match by four points against Iefferson 30-34, putting them out of the competition. Still, the team has done the best of any Cooper wrestling team in about the past ten years, tying for second place in the conference, behind Eden Prairie. They won the majority of their meets, having a six-game winning streak, ending the season with an overall record of 6-4 and a conference record of 4-2.

An endless circle that is rarely bro- ken, it starts in the summer as athletes prepare for the fall season. Their na- ivete reappears each year, fresh, youthful. Coaches are pumped full of new ideas on how to improve. This will be the year. The season starts, high hopes lead to muted goals; yet, the coach exudes confidence. The season continues in drudgery, disappointment, usually lacking fan support. It ends abruptly, hopes long gone. It's time to start an- other sport, another season and the cycle begins again. Why do the athletes go through this cycle, season after season? The chal- lenge, the thrill, the camaraderie, the lack of anything else to do. Their sea- sons looked different but ended the same. The gridmen looked good on paper, broke long-standing records, and yet fell to 3-6. The boys' soccer team went to the state semi-finals in 1986. They were a young team then and were expected to charge back in 1987 and go all the way. Yet, they ended at 4-9. Other sports suffered from both a lack of participation and support. Par- ticipation in boys' gymnastics became so low in numbers that they were com- bined with the Armstrong team, which has gone to state regularly. The girls' gymnastics and the cross country ski teams may soon succumb to unifica- tion. The boys' basketball team suffered from the start. With no starters return- ing, their struggle was entirely uphill. They continued looking up the hill the entire season. Due to the tough con- ference, many good teams had it rough. The girls' basketball team struggled with a reasonable team, in- juries, good coaches, and few fans. Hockey looked very promising when they beat outstate teams. However. when it came down to the important rivalry game with Armstrong, they lost in overtime. Armstrong spent muc 01 the season ranked ttl.

Instead, he worked out regularly to get ready for college football. The boys' soccer team's demise was blamed most commonly on the coach.

At regional finals all runners that com- peted in the men's 100 meter dash crossed the finish line at approximate- ly the same time. A tenth of a second or so separated one runner from the other.

The Twins and the Hawk's both started practicing in March, the Twins in Florida and the Hawks in Cooper's gymna- sium. Although the Hawks finish was not as impressive as the Twins' World Series title, the Hawks were compet- itive to the end, which was a crushing loss to Wayzata. The Hawks were ahead 4-2 when Wayzata scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth to win it 6-4, aided by a Cooper error on a double play ball. Baseball is one of the few sports left at Cooper where it is still necessary to make cuts. As the pitchers got the strikes going, the home run hitters warmed up their muscles with indoor batting practice using the pitching ma- chine in the cage. Our greatest asset was our team speed, said Coach Chuck Tabor. Speed helped the Hawks achieve an incredible stolen base record with sev- enty tthe most a Tabor team had had before was forty-onei and it also gave them more extra-base hits and infield base hits which would have normally been outs. However, they lacked the power to make the big hits.

The district cancelled school that day for students to attend the parade. Twins - 239 Going out with SW. oing out with a bang! That's just what happened at Coo- per. On the last day of school as the final bell rang out, stu- dents tossed notebooks in the air and littered the hallways, ending the school year. The year was characterized by change. In September, Hawks were faced with new teachers, changes in the smoking lounge policies, sched- ules, shorter lunch mods, lunch cards, attendance and final exam policies, longer classes and a later graduation date. Enough to overwhelm the average high school student, Cooper took eve- rything in stride, and with style. Having demonstrated against a new schedule two years ago, the sev- en-period scheduling system went into effect on the first day of school. Along with this change came longer class hours and shorter lunch mods. Adjust- ing to these alterations took time, but by the end of the year no one even realized just how big a change it had been. From drama to sports, publications to academics everyone had their time in the light. Although sports teams and other groups may not have made it to state or been recognized as they should have been, Cooper students I Against the Richfield hockey team, Cooper celebrates scoring the final goal to capture a victory. 240 - Closing rose to the top with their own style.
