Josephson ll IOI2 class h ISICR In the fall of 1949, seventy-five eager students entered the halls of Cooper Township High School determined to become the graduating class of 1953. We were assigned to rooms 1 and 5 under the direction of Mrs. Raymond Larson and Mrs. Zanada DiCicco. We elected as our leaders Michael Moyle, President, Donna Lue Earley, vice- presidentg Audrey Netterblade, secretary, and Shirley Josephson, treasurer. Our class was wellrepresentedin sports, and Donna Lue Earley was named cheerleader. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we chose the following officers to guide us through our second year of high school: president, Shirley Josephsong vice -president, Michael Moyleg secretary, Connie Rolleyg and treas- urer, Shirley Whitton. The social event ofthe year was the annual Sophomore Jamboree at the Philipsburg Roller Rink. Our first class play, Socially Ambitious, directed by Miss Nancy Brunstetter, proved to be a success. The student body elected Shirley Simcox as a cheerleader, the second from our class. We were assigned toroom '7 for ourjunior year. Our class advisor was Mr. Lewis Lucas. Shirley Josephson was elected presidentg Connie Rolley, vice-presidentg Audrey Netterblade, secretaryg and Laraine Rauch,treasurer. The annual Halloween party, held at the high school, was a big success. Class rings were proudly shown off in January. The Junior Class Play, Sweetheart of U Baka Pi, under the direction of Mr. Lucas, proved that the class had dramatic talent. The biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Dimeling I-lotelin Clear- field. It was certainly enjoyed by everyone who attended. Fifty-five seniors returned to Cooper in the fall of 1952 to complete their high school careers. Room 8 was our home room and again Mr. Lucas was our class advisor. Our class officers this year were: Shirley Josephson, presidentg Michael Moyle, vice-president, Audrey Netterblade, secretaryg Laraine Rauch, treasurerg and Melvin Beals, historian. We selected navy blue and white as our class color, and the white carnation as our class flower. Under the direction of Mr. Lucas, we presented The Moonstone, a mystery, as our class play. We all anticipated May 14, 15, and 16, when we went on our Washington trip. After our trip we had three more important events before we left high school: Class night, Baccalaureate, and Commencement.

Fifty-six green, scared freshmen entered the unfamiliar halls of Cooper Township l-ligh School in the fall of 1950. We were assigned to homerooms5 and 6 with Mrs. Zanada DiCicco and Miss Nancy Brunstetter as our home- room teachers. We elected at our first class meetincg our class officers, who were: John McClusick, presidentgRonnie Soder, vice-presidentg Joyce Rees, secretaryg an Roger Anderson, treasurer. Six boys represented us in football. Pattie Johnson and Doris Johnson were elected as cheerleaders. Three of us even became reporters on the Cotohisc. In 1951, we were no longer the green and scared freshmen of 1950, but anxious sophomores. In September we began to whisper about the Sophomore Jamboree, the Sophomore Play, and the football team that seemed to us to be comprised largely of sophomores. The Jamboree, held at the skating rink, was our social event of the year and our play Gabriel, Blow Your Horn was certainly a success. Early in the year we took time out to electour class officers: Ronnie Soder, presidentg Joyce Rees, vice-presidentg Stanley Sones, secretaryg and Joe Billy, treas- urer. Through this and our other activities we were ably guided by our homeroom teachers, Miss Marion George and Mr. Albert Zinz. In 1952, forty-seven juniors returned to the now familiar halls of Cooper Hi h School, eager for the year's events. We were assigned Room 7 with Mr. Zihz as our homeroom teacher. We eqected as class officers: Ronnie Soder, presidentg Stanley Sones, vice -presidentg Shirley Nelson, secretaryg and Joyce Rees, treasurer. We started the social events of the school year with our Junior Halloween Party, which we celebrated on October 28 in the audito- rium. Next came our class rings, which everybody received with sighs of admiration and delilght. Our class play, under the direction of Mr. Zinz, was a mystery entitled Rough on Ghosts Agam we were wel represented in foot- ball with many men receiving letters. xl, Q IGD HODGRS 1.- uv' 1' n .

SODNOITIORE NISITOI2 Sixty timid freshmen entered the halls of Cooper High School on September 3, 1951. We were assigned to rooms 1 and 5, under the supervision of Mrs. Raymond Larson an Mrs. Zanada DiCicco. We contributed to sports and our talents were shown by representation in the All-School Play. In the fall of '52 we came back as sophomores and were assigned to rooms 4 and 6, with Mr. John Deliman and Mrs. Larson as our home room teachers. We went right to work and elected our class officers: Bernard Kask, presidentg Thomas Granville, vice -presidentg Ernest Force, treasurerg Mary Lou Rauch, secretary. In sports, three sophomores received letters in football, and several of the boys helped to make the baseball season a success. Betty Jane Lawrence was elected cheerleader. Our first dramatic presentation, The Darling Brats, presented on February 20, under the direction of Mr. Deliman, proved to be a howling success. The climax of the year was the Sophomore Jam- ' boree, at which everyone hada very enjoyable after- noon, in spite of the bumps and bruises that go with the ups and downs of roller skating. - ll As the year ends, we are looking forward to our next term when we will meet again as Jolly Juniors.

Sones h ISIOR Last September 5, seventy-four of us crowded into Rooms 1 and 5 to begin our high school careers under the direction of Mrs. Zanada DiCicco and Mr. Charles Ardary. Mr. Harold Beveridge took over Room 5 early in December when Mrs. DiCicco assumed other school duties. We were and are a spirited ggoup with odd likes and dislikes. For example, the seniors thou ht we liked lipstick and thereupon distn uted lipstick liberally to boys and girls alike. Several of us riought we might appreciate an occasional French or geometry class, but we quickly and blushingly retumed to the freshman fold. On the football field we produced one full-fledged varsity man, Jack Holt, and severalmembers of the junior varsity. On the stage, a good many mem ers of the class participatedin skits for assembly pro- grams. Now almost sophomores, we happily enter the realm of upperclassmen. FRESHMAN OFFICERS xv ,- P.

Although the girls softball team showed great improvement in their playing, fate seemed to be against them and they lost alltheir games y narrow scores. The girls showed that they had great ambition. Much credit goes to the girls' coach, Mrs. Zanada DiCicco. In the starting lineup were six four-year veterans who saw action for the last time: pitcher, Laraine Rauchg first base- man, Louise Palinkasg second baseman, Connie Rolleyg short stop, Audrey Netterbladeg and fielders, Shirley Whitton and Jane Miller. To fill the gaps left by Seniors are a large number of promising players among the junior, Sophomore and Freshmen classes as shown in practice games and health classes.

Deliman, was presented February 20 and proved to be enormously suc- cessful as the only comedy of the year. The plot of the play concerned an orphaned family of four absolutely darling brars' who sometimes tried to live a normal life. The comical capers of the brats kept the audience screaming with mirth throughout the entire play. Members of the young cast were Loretta Askey, Jerry Bradford, Agnes Campbell, David Dresko, Ernest Force, Lynn Groe, Sara Jane Hummel, Bernard Kask, Ronald Krollman, Betty Jane Lawrence, and Kay Lutz.

The Junior Class was the first group of the year to demonstrate that Cooper students have dramatic talent. The juniors presented their play, Rough on Ghosts, on December 12 under the direction of Mr. Albert Linz. Rough on Ghosts' was a mystery comedy that concerned a torn map indicating a hidden treasure, also a secret formula for plastic used in making airplanes. The mystery of the map was solved, somewhat accidentally by a more than somewhat timid young man. At the same time, a candid Swedishmaid saved the secret formula from foreign agents.

Schneider This, the ei hth year of the cafeteria at Cooper, proved a definite success. Approx- imately seventy- 've per cent of the student body ate there and seemed to enjoy it thor- E oughly. Among the improvements made this year were a walk-in cooler, a celotex ceiling which great y improved the appearance of the cafeteria, and, much to our delight, an ice cream coller that enabled us to buy ice cream for the first time atCooper. Cafeteria service has also been extended to the Grassflat School. The highlight of the year was the delicious turkey dinner that Mr. Fred Snedden, the new cook, prepared for us atChristmas. Also a treat were the colored eggs and candy rabbits at Easter. Although those were the high points of the cafeteria meals, we are certain that all of us appreciated the meals prepared by Mr. Snedden. who was assisted by Miss Ida Olson and Mrs. Karl Kizina. patnons The following pages contain the list of those people and establishments who contributed toward financing our yearbook. We, the Coopernian Staff, wish to thank them for their support, and also, to thank those contributors who wished to remain anonymou s. Concerning the absence of advertising, we want to explain our motives: we do not feel that, in yearbooks, advertisements serve the purpose of advertisingg we know that ten or twelve pages of advertisements add greatly to the cost of yearbooksg and the Coopernian Staff believes that advertising seldom, if ever, enhances the ap- pearance of the yearbook. Also, we wish to thank the parents who allowed the use of their automobiles by their sons and daughters who solicited funds in the various communities. Benson Sanitorium. . K. 8: J. Coal Office . .
