MOMENTS TO REMEMBER -ea Who will ever forget August 31, 1953, our first day as Coopernians at C, T, H,S, 2 We began our journey through high school under the guidance of Mrs. DiCicco and Mr. Lucas. To lead us through this new and exciting year we elected Tom Kirk, President, Donna I. Johnson, Vice President, Pat Ostrosky, Secretary, and Tom Sch- nars, Treasurer. Unlike other freshman classes we had the opportunity to display our dramatic and musical ta- lents when we presented the operetta H, M,S, Pinafore, under the direction of Mr. George Meyer. Although many of us participated in sports, Ron Johnson was the only Freshman football letterman. Near the end of our freshman year, Pat Ostrosky was chosen as Drum Major and Pat Ostrosky, Neale Beighwl, L0Il'3iHe Lai' Nancy Kask and Donnal. Johnson were elected cheerleaders, son, Marlene Gurbal, Larry Balko. all of these for the rest of their years at Cooper. And then we were Sophomores! Mr. Zinz and Mr. Graffuis were our appointed advisors. This year we chose as our leaders: Dorothy Burow, President, Elsie L. Johnson, Vice Presidentg Pat Ostrosky, Secretaryg and Donna I. Johnson, Treasurer. Our class was very active in Band, Chorus, Sports, Cotohisc and the newly organ- ized Student Council. Our acting ability was again proven when our class presented the hilarious comedy, Aunt Susie Shoots The Works, directed by Mr. Albert Zinz. The year advanced rapidly and all too soon we were recovering from the bumps and bruises of the traditional Sophomore Jamboree, and im- patiently waiting for our Junior year when we would receive our treasured class rings. We finally became upperclassmenl The Jolly Juniors selected this year Tom Kirk, President: Elsie Lorayne Johnson, Vice Presidentg Pat Ostrosky, Secretaryg and Loretta Jury, Treasurer. Our enthusiasm in co-curricular activities was even greater this year with many obtaining recognition for outstanding accom- plishments. Receiving our class rings, the Junior Halloween Party, along with our class play, The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, under the direction of Mr. George Meyer, helped pass the time until we would be dancing at the long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom. The Seven Notes provided the music for the gala affair, held at the Hotel Dimeling Ballroom on May 3, 1956. Our theme was Moments to Remem- ber. How quickly time passes! Now as we are about to leave behind us the title of Seniors, we begin to reminisce over the past year. Larry Balko, Neale Beightol, Marlene Gurbal, Pat Osuosky, and Lorraine Larson did an excellent job in filling our offices. Our class contributed nine veteran players, led by Ron Johnson, Captain, to the gridiron, which helped to make the '56 football season a great success. The seniors this year played an even more active role in co-curricular activities. The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. was directed by Mr. Harold Beveridge and Mr. Frank Lingenfelter, was our last chance to display our dramatic ability. On Sunday afternoon, January 27, 1957, we watched with pride, four of our classmates, Neale Beightol, Laurene Larson, Mike Mickney, and Nancy Wertz, as the represented our school as well as our class on the Television program, YOUTH ANSWERS! ' The Senior Class of 1957 is deeply grateful to our advisors, Mr. Harold Beveridge, and Mr. Frank Lingenfelter, Mr. Larson, our principal, all of our teachers and everyone who has given us their kind understanding and never failing guidance. One thing more before we must say goodbye to the H-'1110Wed Halls Of C00Peff fellow 5Gf1i0fS. iS: Never forget the Sophomore Play, The Junior Prom, or our Senior Trip to Washingtong for we'll always have these Moments to Remember.
