In their coaching they have emphasized the embodiment of manly virtue and the example of fair play and sportsmanship that we have been striving to attain during our entire twelve years of school. Mr. Forney's motto could be said to be, It matters not who won or lost, but how the game was played. Our assistant coach, Mr. Zinz, has been a constant source of guid- ance and assistance to all who have needed his help. Our school is better for having teachers like these. May all those who follow us benefit by their high ideals and perseverance. l 1? .M N lv

Six classrooms, office, and auditorium were included in the new building. Facilities have been in- creased since by the addition of the wing in 1941 and, more recently, by converting basement space, so that now ten classrooms, office, auditorium, and cafeteria are in use. NEW COURSES ADDED Cooper Township High School continued to grow in enrollment, size of faculty, and curriculum. The commercial course was added in 1928-29, home economics in 1941-42. Just this year the SCh001 became one of the first in the area to offer courses in speech. Cooper was a pioneer in this part of Pennsylvania in opening a cafeteria in 1945, and set a model which many other school districts have followed in sending out hot lunches from the high school cafeteria to the grade schools. High school enrollment hit a peak in 1941. with 311 students. That year also saw the largest graduat- ing class, with sixty-five members. After a drop during and after World War ll, enrollments have been rising slightly. This year's student body numbers 265. Karthaus Township has sent its high school pupils to Cooper since 1934-35, and more than seventy are enrolled this year. STUDENTS SHINE IN MUSIC, ..SPORTS, DRAMATICS From the beginning, Cooper Students have shown school spirit in extracurricular activities. Early pupils were fond of musical and literary programs. Dramatic talent has been shown in countless plays. The Coopernian and the Cotohisc have recorded school events. Musical activities, ever present in some form, have seen two particular peaks: the present, with the flourishing band and chorus, and the early 1930's , when the Snowbirds were bringing fame to Cooper. A state chorus championship in 1933 was the crowning achievement of the Snowbirds and their sister Doves. Football, since its beginning in the early 1920 's, has been Cooper's most popular sport. Baseball has a less well-defined history, but perhaps an even longer one. Track meets were held in the 1920 's, and ping-pong is a favorite indoor sport. STUDENTS SUCCEED IN LIFE Cooper alumni have gone on to success in all walks of life.

Even more important are those alumni who are the backbone of the citizenry of Cooper Township, who are the parents and grandparents of today's and tomorrow's children, bringing them up to follow high ideals which we believe Cooper Township High School helped to inspire.
