Zinz The students of Cooper Township High School wish to express their grati- tude and hearty thanks for the cooperation of the Board of Education in doing all within their power to further education. These men were elected by the people of the township because of their interest in the education of the future citizens. The duties of the Board are many and varied. At the beginning of the term they searched for and found six new teachers who are doing splendid work at Cooper. The Board has also helped establish the eibciently-run cafeteria which is constantly, through the generosity of the Board, being improved. The other half of the school administrative body is composed of the faculty. The faculty's work is great and they have the responsibility of making future citizens to cope with tomorrow's callings. For the excellent work of the faculty and the many opportunities extended by the Board of Education, the students are deeply grateful. Coopemian -- 6 MR.

These Seniors constitute the upper fifth, scholastically. of the graduating class. The class of 1947 is very proud of its laurel- crovvned students led by Ina Peavy, Valedictorian, and Ioseph Liegev, Salutatorian. The other members of the group in the order of their ranking are: Pauline Humenik. Carl Cruendler, Marvin Larson, Howard Albert Lutz, and Marcella Deliman. These students not only ranked high in their class, but they also helped make sports, dramatics and other cxtra-curricular activities successful.

Using rooms 1 and 3, under the supervision of Mr. Beam and Mrs. Skelton, res- pectively, they began their Freshman year. The Freshmen displayed their athletic ability when Robert Mann, John Humaney, and Alvin Lingeri- felter took part in football with Howard Lutz acting as assistant manager. They also displayed their singing and dancing talents by the splendid performance of several of them in the All-School Minstrel. Some held important positions on the Cotohisc Staff. The Freshman class officers for this year were: President, Ina Peavy, V ice-Presi- dent, joseph Liegey, Secretary, Dorothy Harter, and Treasurer, Iohn Saksa. The next September the class of ,47 re-en- tered the halls of Cooper to take up the work which they had begun so successfully the year before. This year they resided in rooms 4 and 6. under the guidance of Mr. Beam and Mrs. Love. They discovered that their work was a little more difficult and they had to put forth more effort in order to advance. The Sophomore class was rep- resented on both the Coopernian and Cotohisc Staffs. Their class play, Princess O'Toole',. un- der the direction of Mr. Beam, proved their dram- atic abilitv. Those starring in their first play Were: Agnes Reiter. Carl Swanson, Marguerite Beals. Alliene Gross. Rita Hartle, John Humaney, Dorothy Harter, Margaret Iosenhson, Marvin Larson, Pauline Humenik, john Kuzilla and Mae Brolin.

Ina Peavyg Secretary, Howard Albert Lutz, and Treasurer, Margaret Iosephson. The Iunior year proved to be a verv active one. They occupied room 8. under the able su- pervision of Mrs. Park. For this year they chose the following officers: President. Pauline Hu- menikg Vice-President. lohn Kuzilla: Secretary, Margaret Iosephson: and Treasurer, Marvin Lar- son. The first social event of the year was the lunior Hallowe'en Party which was held October 25. in the school auditorium. A very eniovable evening was spent in dancing and playing games. after which refreshments were served. Defend- ing their splendid reputation acquired by their dramatic performance the previous year. the Iun- iors presented another successful play. Let Me Grow Upn. under the able direction of Mrs. Park. Those in the cast were: Iohn Humaney, Dorothy Harter, Carl Swanson. Pauline Humenik. Mar- garet Iosephson. Marguerite Beals, Rita Hartle, Mae Brolin, and Alliene Gross. Many of the jun- ior boys took part in the baseball activities, help- ing to make the season victorious. The All-School Minstrel, the greatest financial hit of the year, in- cluded many Iuniors in the cast. The Juniors were also active on the Cotohisc Staff. The grand climax to a happy and eventful year was the Iun- ior-Senior Banquet which was held at the school and was followed by a dance at the Philipsburg Country Club with music furnished by the Star Dustersf' Reduced in number, but not in spirit, the Seniors once again assembled in Room 8 with Mrs. Park as their pilot. Their leaders for this year were: President, Vera josephsong Vice- President, John Humaney, Secretary. Margaret Josephson, and Treasurer, Howard Albert Lutz. These students immediately began to fulfill their duties. Many Seniors took part in the gridiron sport,-football, which returned as a competitive sport after an absence during the war years. Those were: John Humaney, Michael Lucas, Howard Albert Lutz, Karl Folmar, Frank Goss. Bill Little acted as coach for the 1. V.'s. For their last class play the Seniors gave a grand per- formance of a comedy mystery entitled Bogey- man , which turned out to be the biggest hit of the season. The members of the cast were: Mar- vin Larson, Iohn Humaney, Carl Swanson. How- ard Albert Lutz, Dorothy Harter, Vera Iosenh- son, Margaret Iosephson, Marguerite Beals, Mae Brolin and Agnes Reiter. One of the greatest social events of the year was the Senior Party which was held February 13. The happy even- ing was spent in dancing, playing games and eating. Five seniors took part in the All-School Play, A Case of Springtime, which was their final dramatic performance of the year. They were: Margaret Iosephson, Mae Brolin, Dorothy Harter, Marvin Larson, Howard Albert Lutz. The Seniors were also well represented on the baseball team by Donald Anderson, George Lin- genfelter, Michael Lucas, John Humaney, Carl Gruendler, Alfred Borger and Frank Goss. A new inter-school sport made its appearance this spring-girls' softball. Seniors taking part in this popular sport were Vera Iosephson. Margaret Cowder, Margaret Breznai. Rosella Greth. and Margaret josephson. who also represented the class as cheerleader for three years. The Cooper- nian staff included many Seniors: loseph Leigey, Ina Peavy.

Although we cannot as yet finally determine who our valedictorian or salu- tatorian will be, we wish to introduce our top ten according to their present scholastic stand- ing. They are: Grace Conaway, Betty Rudfors, Gloria Lindberg, Cora Mock, June Cullen, Michael Schultz, Florence Kyler, Richard Mar- cinko, Marjorie Picard, Margie Pewanick. Not only have many of these students ex- celled in studies but also in extra-curricular ac- tivities. Michael Schultz, Richard Marcinko, and Florence Kyler have been seen on Cooperls stage. june Cullen, Grace Conaway, Michael Schultz and Richard Marcinko served ably on the Coopernian Staff. Schultz and Marcinko also served on the Cotohisc Staff and were active figures on the gridiron and the baseball diamond. lt is also worthy of note that these same two boys and Florence Kyler were class officers.

Annette Leigey J UNIOR In September 1944 eighty-five insignificant little green things entered Cooper. We quickly elected Annette Liegey, President, Michael Schultz, Vice-Presidentg Ioan Little, Secretaryg and Ceorgetta Cook, Treasurer. VVe were well represented on the baseball team by Leroy Dingey, Richard Marcinko, Michael Schultz, Andy Belko and Robert Near- hood who are still doing splendid work. The Freshmen were further represented by Phyllis Anderson and Beatrice Coudriet as cheer leaders. Departing from Cooper for three short months we returned to our classrooms as Sopho- mores. YVe started our Sophomore year by electing Violet Borger, Presidentg Michael Schultz, Vice- Presidcntg Richard Marcinko, Secretary, and Lois Nelson, Treasurer. Our first appearance on the stage was the greatest financial success of the year. VVe pre- sented Sally Sallies Forthv under the capable supervision of Mr. Beam. The only social event of the year was the traditional Sophomore Jamboree which was held on the school ground, and was joyfully at- tended by all. XVe had studied hard and earned a good reputation and were now ready to begin our third year at Cooper. Cooper ' Hmm, HISTORY Our junior year was started by electing Michael Schultz, Presidentg Violet Rorger, Vice- Presidentg Annette Liegey, Secretaryg and Flor- ence Kyler, Treasurer. Due to ill health our Vice-President left school to go to Arizona and was replaced by Richard Marcinko. The most thrilling event of our junior year was the return of football. We were well repre- sented on the gridiron by Michael Schultz, Richard Anderson. Harold Carlson, Andy Belko, Andy Basala, Robert Nearhood. james Fetter and Henry Soder, seven of whom became letter- men. The social season opened with the Junior Halloween Party, held October 31st in the audi- torium. A delightful time Was had by all who attended. With many newcomers, we returned to the stage again with a refreshing romance entitled Song of Mv Hearth. under the direction of Mrs. Read. Although the cast consisted of thir- teen characters and the play was presented Fri- day the thirteenth, it was quite a success. The climax of our social season was the lun- ior-Senior Banquet for our departing Seniors. This gala event took place at the Clearfield Coun- try Club on May Sth. Teachers and pupils alike enjoyed an evening of varied entertainment. VVe cannot determine the results of our Sen- ior year, but We hope it will be as successful as the preceding years. nian - 17 ' Klum, 'Qin' Phyllis Anderson Richard Anderson Andrew Basala Andrew Belko Rita Bender Pauline Brnik Harold Carlson Mildred Carter PHYLLIS ANDERSON . . .

Schultz SOPHOMORE HISTCDRY When we came back to school as Sophis- ticated Sophomoresn we felt that we had one of the best classes. We were assigned to rooms 4 and 6, under the supervision of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Beam. respectively. At the beginning of the term we held class elections. Charles Duane Simcox became Presi- dent, Patricia Dillen, Vce-President, Helen Nare- hood, Treasurer. and Catherine Renaud. Secre- tary. Our much-awaited class play, entitled High Pressure Homerv, was presented on Feb- ruary 28. It was a very brilliant and hilarious comedy. under the direction of Mr. Beam. The success of the play was partly due to the work oi' a fine cast. The Sophomore class did its share toward sports by contributing four lettermen to the first string football team. They also did their part to make the baseball season a success. VVe held our annual Jamboree on May 8. Everyone present enjoyed it immensely, and We can be proud of it. So ends our most eventful year as Sopho- mores. Atter studying and accomplishing much. we intend to come back next year as Tolly juniorsv. Coopern ian - 26 anding, Left to Right: -I. lfohnar, II.

Cooper admitted sixty- fivc timid and tiny Frcslnncn, who wcrc placed under the supervision of Misses Annette and Beatrice Johnson. The first few days wc never seemed to tire ol' bumping into upper classmen, and wandering into wrong classrooms. Gradually we became accustomed to the daily routine and were soon acquainted with om' fellow students and upper classmates. ln October we elected our class officers: Joan Larson. Prcsidcntg Thomas NVertz, Vice-Presi- dcntg Alanct Swancer. Sccrctaryg and Bertha Mar- shall. Treasurer. NVe were proud of our four members of the football squad, Goble, Evan. Crm-th, and Little. and our Freshman cheerleader. Sarah Schloski. Our class was well represented on the base- ball tcam, and many of our girls showed an active interest in the newly organized softball team. 7 . Nl c were honored by having a member ot our class chosen to participate in the All-School Plav. VVith one-fourth of our high school days over, we will always look back with fond mem- ories at our happy Freshman year at Cooper. Coopemian - 27 Lust again!

J OURN ALISM In October. the staff published its first edition of the COTOIIISC. under the supervision of Miss Beatrice john- son, faculty advisor, and Editors-in-Chief Marvin Larson and Michael Schultz. Since then several editions have been published. which were read not only by the students of Cooper. but also by many other schools. The COTUHISC included news of school activities. sports, current happenings in classes, faculty sketches, gos- sip, and many interesting articles, including the History of Cooper Township which was a reproduction. It was orig- inally written for the COTOHISC in 192-1, by NVilIiam Litke. The members of the staff sincerely hope that the stu- dents and former Coopernians who have read the CUTO- IIISC have enjoyed it.

The Junior Play, Song of My Heart , directed by Mrs. Read and Mr. Shaw, was quite a different style from most plays seen on Cooper's stage. Young Sylvia CPhyllis Anderson? found a diary belonging to the first Silvia who lived seventy-five years ago. As the diary was read, the lights dimmed and the curtains closed to open again on the story of the first Silvia CAnnette Leigeyl and Michael CMichael Schultzl, and how they loved and parted. Once again we were returned to the present and the love story of young Silvia and young Michael CAndrew Kuzillal. Others of the cast were: Anna Kolivosky, LeRoy Dingey, Edward Gruendler, Ruth Ann Fenton, Richard Marcinko, Ethel Folmar, Geraldine Rowles, Geneva Shederske, and Mary Hanslovan. Bogeyman , presented by the Senior class under the direction of Mrs. Park, was an exciting mystery com- edy which proved to be the financial hit of the season. Everyone was kept on the edge of his seat with excite- ment and laughter. It all started when a sorority wanted to buy an old deserted mansion now owned by Ez Dixon CMarvin Larsonj. Ez and Lanny Harper Cjohn Humaneyl tried to scare the girls away by inventing weird noises. Charlie, the negro handy man, CHoward Albert Lutzl fur- nished many amusing scenes. Others in the cast were: Carl Swanson, Dorothy Harter, Marguerite Beals, Agnes Reiter, Mae Brolin, Vera Iosephson, and Margaret joseph- son. A gay, hilarious comedy, High Pressure Homeru was enacted by the Sophomore class and directed by Mr. Beam. The action took place in the Woodruff home. Each member of the family had his own peculiar hobby. Things were upset when Aunt Cora fMargaret Kolivoskil brought her pet chicken and came to visit. Homer Hay- wood fCharles Simcoxj was always trying to use high- pressure salesmanship on everybody. Mother VVoodruff Uune Peughl tried to keep up with her exciting family Others who helped make the play a success were: Doris Kephart, Patricia Dillen, Shirley Wilkinson, Irving Mel- nick, Charles Pelton, Loren Welker, Carl Hoffman, Anna Danko and Catherine Renaud. The school combined talents to present A Case of Springtimev, under the direction of Miss Beatrice John- son. An amusing three-act comedy was unfolded as Bob Parker CAndrew Kuzillaj tried to draw the attention of his girl friend with his magic tricks. When Bob bor- rowed Mr. Abernaker's fEdward Cruendlerisl formal coat and the maid dyed it chrome yellow, all the trouble started. Bob decided that if he could make a good im- pression upon the P. T. A. ladies they could persuade Mr. Abernaker to forget the whole thing. Dickie Parker fDelbert Renaudl upset the scheme by fixing several amusing tricks for the ladies. As if there weren't enough trouble, the police were going to arrest Bob for stealing two valuable animals from the zoo. It tumed out that instead of two, there were soon more. The zoo had never been able to reproduce these animals. Things all turned out to a fine conclusion with the help of Marvin Larson, Margaret Iosephson, Dorothy Harter, june Peugh, Billie Groe, Anna Kolivoski, Ruth Ann Fenton, Charles Simcox, Mae Brolin, Howard Lutz and Patricia Hartle.

Teamlv was on everyone's lips, as the first Cooper team since 1943 started practice on August 19th under Coach Robert Wickman. He left Cooper for a position in Alaska the lst of September. The indomitable spirit of Coopernians was at work when they con- tinued to practice without a coach for over a week. On September 9th Cooper got a new coach, Mr. Lucas. Our first game with Philipsburg had to be cancelled because the Vikings were without a coach. This was a great disappointment to every- one. After one week of training with Coach Lucas the Vikings entered battle with Morrisdale. The inexperienced Cooper squad quickly fell victim to Morrisdale by a 24-6 score. Our second game of the season was also with Morrisdale. lt brought forth a much improved Cooper team. The Cooper Vikings sought to obliterate their last defeat. On a last-minute touchdown Morrisdale managed to get a 20-19 victory. The Coopernians traveled to Houtzdale for their next game. The Houtzdale-Woodward team proved to be too much for the Vikings. After fighting a hard game Cooper was defeated. The final score was Houtzdale-VVoodward 12, Cooper7. Cooper journeyed to Snow Shoe for their fourth game. The Vikings were raring to go in order to make up for their past defeats. Cooper could be proud of her boys as they trounced a stubborn Snow Shoe team by the score of 27-0. Cooperis next game was with the strong Osceola team. Although the Vikings showed some of the best playing, they lost a close game to a good Osceola squad. The entire game was filled with thrills until the final whistle when Osceola was ahead by a score of 19-14. The Vikings played their sixth game with Reynoldsville. It held special significance because our former coach, Mr. Nolan, was now coaching at Reynoldsville. This game did much for Cooperis morale, as they defeated a strong Reynoldsville squad by a 14-7 score. The final game of the season was with Big- ler Township. This promised to be an exciting game as Bigleris team was very good and Cooper had improved a lot. After fighting hard, Cooper was unable to score. Although their offense Wasn't clicking their defense was. Cooper held Bigler scoreless. The game therefore ended in a scoreless tie. Marcinko, Captain of the Vikings, was a hard-fighting end who defended his side of the line. Simcox, who was Co-Captain, held down the quarterback position. Humanev backed up the line in his fullback position and was respon- sible for manv brilliant runs. Schultz proved to be a strong blocking back who usually got his man. Fetter held down the tackle position by his fine playing. Bugosh was a guard who made his side of the line powerful. Carlson backed up the line in his position as center. A Freshman who earned a position as a guard was Coble. Lawrence sparked the defense and offense by his tackling and blocking. Folmar held down the other end and seldom let anyone pass him.

It is a pleasure to the senior class to have you here. You are indeed kind to come to our exercises for it is an impor- tant occasion to us. You know, the years have a habit of slipping around the calendar and shedding another graduating class every May. We are that class this May, the class of 1948. There are forty-six of us. It seems the classes of this institution are shed like the leaves from an autumn tree. We are leaving it forever. No longer can we receive nourishment from it. For a little while we were here and we received training in the sciences, lan- guages, mathematics, and in various activities sponsored by the school. But now we must go. In completing the comparison, I might add that we go forth scattered into the world hither and thither and yonder. We shall be scattered by strong gusts of circumstances and by the weight of our own determination. Some of us will live in a whirlwind of excitement and adventure, traveling far and high and dan- gerously, and some of us, no doubt, will drift on fallow ground and lie there aim- lessly. But as the leaves have their valuable places in nature, so we have our purposes and plans in life. We go willingly and gladly to meet them. Tonight is part of our commencement. This is our class night, and we please ourselves by calling our exercises, The Isle of Our Dreamsf, We are going on an imaginary visit to Ireland-that little island set like an emerald in the circling blue seas about it. We do not mean to imply that this little trip we are taking is one of the great goals in our lives, but we are using this setting as a backdrop on which to hang some of our dreams and to carry out our class parts. And yet in a sense it may represent one of the goals in our lives because such a trip, even though imaginary, is symbolical of adventure, romance, and glamor, and we hope to have many such. Last year Mrs. Colleen Fitzgerald of Ireland came to our school to lecture. She was so charmed with the senior class that she invited us all to visit her in Ireland as soon as school closed. We are ready to set out and We are looking forward to this great trip before us. I must hurry now as the boat is ready to sail. I'll say goodbye. The next time you see me I'll be with the seniors in the Isle of Our Dreams. -in the land of Erin.
