'Wlwwfzabla ,Samba frmnta, Fifty-nine green but daring Freshmen en- tered the portals of Cooper High School in Sep- tember, 1943, destined to become the graduating class of 1947. 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.

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.

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.

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.
