I Page Ten CLASS BALLAD Here’s the class of ’21, Merrily did the Sophomores cry it As we straggled one by one, Slowly, ’neath the blazing sun, Each fearing for a riot. Fearfully, we kept advancing When a path was opened wide, And we surely felt like singing As aside, we caution flinging, Hurried to the teacher’s side. Then began a year of sorrows. Filled with many a weary race; And we feared the coming morrows, Feared them and their awful hours With the sophomores’ hated face. Finally that year was ended, And we offered prayers of thanks. As our homeward way we wended, For the teachers, they had granted. Sanction that we might advance. Oh! that summer how we figured. When we gained our own revenge; How the school yard would be littered And the freshman’s peace be fritered By our wishes to avenge. Yet, that fall when school was gath- ered. And the one great year had come. Then it was our joy was shattered So completely nothing mattered, I.ife was taken from our fun. For our luck was all against, us, And the freshmen were quite happy; Oh ! they surely felt victorious At the way that they had fooled us Into missing their first party. Still that year to us was pleasant, Filled with many a happy hour, For our thoughts were then more dis- tant Than they now are, in the present, Of our choice of a career. When our second year was finished And we had gained our earned reward. By our pride were we distinguished Which they might have had dimin- ished. And not left us very poor. W e fulfilled our one ambition And entered on our closing year, W hen we must make preparation For our final separation At the close of school life here. Gaily we attacked our studies, Ready for a banner year. And we took up all our duties, With their work and hard earned booties Joyously, without a fear. Now our life at school is ended. W’e have finished every task And our minds are quite contented With the thought which all have granted, That we gave our very best. Tomorrow is the future, In which we have to prove our worth; And the fields in which we venture, F'or the seeking of their treasure, Are for us untrodden earth. Charles Westover, '21. Page Eleven SALUTATORY C) our teachers, relatives, and friends, we, the graduating class of 1921, extend a hearty welcome. We wish to thank you for the cordial and appreciative interest you have shown in our High School exercises and we ask you for the continuance of the same. We have come to the end of our four years of high school life and although we have looked forward to this time with eager anticipation, when the time drew near this joy was mingled with sadness as we realized that for us these happy school days with their pleasant association will ever he bright spots in the book of memory and the friendships formed there will never be forgotten. We have worked together in unison as teachers and pupils and although sometimes little discords arose, taken as a whole, harmony has prevailed. During our high school course the world outside has been in a state of turmoil. In these years we have not only studied of war, but have seen the effects of war on our own country. We have seen the boys in khaki, at their country’s call, sail across the sea to France on a mission from which many never returned, but died for their homeland. We have also seen the need of the starving children of Europe and have given to them of our abundance. We have seen the stirring examples of patriotism and have learned how to become one hundred per cent Americans and useful American citizens. The World War made an appeal to everybody and conscripted every Ameri- can, but the call for men that was sent out only allowed those who had a strong body to go to the front. Thus in our high school life we have tried to cultivate not only our minds, hut by means of healthful recreation, to keep our bodies so fit that we could go to the front if the call should come to us. In any business enterprise, too, the weaker must give way to those physically and morally stronger. We are now in the midst of the period of reconstruction. The World War has ended but the whole country is now struggling to bring itself once more to normal conditions, but many are too impatient to wait for this time and are trying to take matters into their own hands. The trend of education now is to make the youth better acquainted with the prevailing conditions and to give every child a chance to fit himself to earn his livelihood under better circumstances. We, standing at the parting of ways, at the first cross roads of life, must each do our share in this trying period. We each have a call to get ready to do our part in making a greater America. Each of us must try to shoulder a part of life’s responsibilities and be useful Americans. To do this we must follow and practice the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you.” The pupils who are planning to enter High School this year or in the follow- ing years will never regret the step they are about to take. They, too, by means of patient planning, will climb though the rocks be rugged, will reach their goal and sometime occupy the places we hold tonight. Just as when a person return- Page Twelve ing from a long journey tells of the good time he had and retraces it again in his thoughts, so we, in the coming years, will speak to everyone of tlie pleasure of high school and wish we could relive the happy days we spent in the Coopersville High S chool. So whether our inclinations call us to college, school-room, office or farm, let 11s always try to reflect honor and glory on the old Coopersville High School, and to show our parents and teachers that the time we spent there was not spent in vain, and quoting Longfellow, say: “Let us, then, he up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.” Helen Busman, 21. Page Thirteen HISTORY THE day to which we have looked forward so eagerly has come, and we are now going to have the opportunity to build into reality those air castles which we have dreamed of all through our school days. But before we separate, we want to look back over many good times we have had together during the last four years. There were twenty-six of us when we entered as Freshmen four years ago. The Freshman year will always be rememberd. How important we were! Didn’t we go right upstairs and study in the big High School room when the younger ones had to stay downstairs in the grades? But after we went into the High School room, we were sometimes rather uneasy. We wished the Seniors would not look at us and smile at each other when we went up to the desk. And oh, we would rather do almost anything than walk across the front of the room, for we were sure everyone would laugh at us. But we became used to High School and soon began to enjoy our first year thoroughly. As Freshmen we did not give many socials or parties, but we attended those given by the other classes and had many other good times. Two of our members played on the first basket ball team that year. We closed the year with a Freshman picnic at Grand River. Our Sophomore class was smaller but the year held more events of interest for us. We were twenty-two in number. We now felt that it was our duty to guide the Freshmen, and we proceeded to show how learned we were. But this quickly wore off and we were soon getting too bewildered by the mysteries of Plane Geom- etry to think of anything else. The reception for the Freshmen given by the Athletic Association was the first social event of the year. The orchestra was also formed that year and four members of our class joined. We contributed players to the first basket ball teams that year, and some of the Sophomore boys took part in the Field Meet with Ravenna and Berlin at the end of the year. We held our Sophomore picnic at Reeds Lake, Grand Rapids, at which everyone had a good time. We numbered twenty-seven at the beginning of our Junior year, having been re-enforced by seven new members from Allendale, Nunica and Conklin. Another Freshman reception was given, and was a great success. In April the teachers gave the High School girls a “gym party” and everyone went in masquerade costume. The Junior Poverty social was held in the same month, and the people who attended looked like a collection of tramps and organ-grinders in their “tattered and torn costumes.” There were also the Junior dance, the sleigh-ride party, and the orchestra concert. Many of our classmates took part in basket ball and both boys and girls entered the field meet the twenty-first of May. The High School Annual called “ ’N Everything” was printed in May, and nearly everyone in the High School helped make it a success. The Junior party, in honor of the Seniors, was given early in June and the next day the two classes went to Wolf Lake to have their annual picnic. The following September we became Seniors. At last we had reached that envied position. It was our turn to smile down upon the rest and assert our authority at every opportunity. The last two years have been busy ones. The addition of Shorthand and Typewriting to our curriculum inspired the majority of the class to add one of these subjects to their schedule, which has meant hard work; but good times have been crowded into every spare minute. The Freshman recep- tion was held in September, as usual, and everyone enjoyed the evening. The Page Fourteen orchestra was reorganized with several new members. The basket ball games began in December and continued until April. Other events were the Junior social, the Senior social, the girls’ “gym” party, the track meet, the Senior play, the orchestra concert, and the Junior party for the Seniors. We have appreciated Mr. Gibbs’ aid in adding zest to our Senior year by his diligent breaking up of our important conferences in the library. The annual High School picnics and Commencement days will close our High School career. Our joy at reaching the goal toward which we have worked throughout our school days is mingled with regret. Our school days have meant much to us and we will often wish to return to good old Coopersville High School; but we will hope that each member of the class will go out and do his part in the world’s work and be worthy of the help that he has received in our High School.

The Count of Ta-Ta-Pochon In the eve of month of Song Moon, To the wigwam of Wilali Came eleven lively merry maidens To form a fire of strong friendship, Friendship that will grow the stronger As the years pass by us, o’er us. Ta-Ta-Pochon they called that fire, Meaning always “hold to-gether”; By their service, they fed their fire. Their love of work and joyful spirit Mas kept their trust, has gained them knowledge. Given Health and brought them Beauty. To the Fire of Ta-Ta-Pochon Brought these maids their gift of spirit, Nyada gave of her service; In all things they sought for Beauty Napanee and Tsi-Gaysha Knowledge was pursued by Wanda, But Maka and Alkaluna, strove they for the healthful spirit. With the spirit of Winota In the woods and near the river. Fun and laughter and cheerful spirit Brought Han-nah-Wen and Wen-ne-sha, To the trust of Pocahontas, Who helped in the work of the Fire. Always watchful, always quiet, Was the faithful Ixme Star maiden. Of hikes they have had great numbers, Of work have they had plenty. But the Camp of Ta-Ta-Pochon Is the one who will not suffer Her fire to die, untended By the members of her Council. When at last, their school days over. When they leave their camp behind them With their other girlhood duties. May they kindle other fires Other Fires of health and service For the good of younger sisters. Marion Lawton ’23.

WHAT are the advantages of attending Higli School? What good may be derived? These are two questions very often asked when the subject of “high School” is introduced. Years ago, when this bind of ours was young, Abraham Lincoln, an industrious country lad, was very eager for education. He did his best to get books and to learn all he could from them. But why did he not go to school? Merely because there were none near the place where he lived. When he grew older, lie attended school and became a lawyer. Everyone knows how he. although only a poor farmer boy, became president of this great land of ours. Many of the presidents of the United States as well as many other great men in history were brought up on the farm. Today the lads of the country have the same opportunity to become great men as they had in former years. An education, however, is necessary for one if he has this or any other worthy ambition in view. No one can name any worth while position in life where an education is not essential. Years ago men thought that an education was wasted if a well learned man just lived in the country and pursued farming as his occupation. Today, they know better. Men, by experiment, have produced through scientific application the best plants and the ways of cultivating these. They have invented machines and have improved them. Farming is now done more on a business-like basis. Education brought this about, helping to make farming more of a pleasure and an enjoyable occupation. If a person wishes to work and spend his life merely for the purposes of money, he may argue that one can earn just as much without an education. A man may work in a shop and earn a great deal; but is his life as pleasant as that of a man who has had the advantage of an education? Is it really worth while to spend one’s life just for the sake of money? A man who is well educated is also a far more efficient citizen. A woman may say that an education is not necessary if she just intends to spend her life in domestic affairs. Has there not been advancement in the realms of housekeeping? Has not education and wider knowledge helped to bring about this advancement? A woman, who is educated, has a great influence on her family. She will help to educate her children and to broaden their minds. Are girls and boys who wish to teach school and help other children improve their educational conditions, able to do this without being well educated them- selves? If boys are interested in medicine, engineering, electricity or some other calling, would it not be well and profitable to extend their knowledge along these lines, making their life work in whatever interests them most? Country boys as Page Twenty well as city boys can do this if they will by attending high school and going farther on after they have finished high school. How has all the progress and advancement in past years been accomplished? We all know that we, the people of the United States, are said by other people to be one hundred years ahead of time. Why have they said this? It is just because people have had ambitions and have had the determination to accomplish them that has wrought so many great changes. Do we wish this advancement to stop or be accelerated? All of us wish to promote and better conditions as much as possible. Education is necessary for this. The rural school children should attend the high schools and attain their ambitions. They may say that it is too hard to attend high school because of the distance and weather conditions, but it is well worth the effort put forth to attend. One thing we must remember is that America today stands out clearly as the light and saving grace of the entire world. God has ordained America to lead and save the world morally. We are all units in the great body politic that makes up the greatest nation on earth. The duties that all efficient citizens have to perform are new and peculiar to the time. How, then, will the boys and girls be able to do their part as useful citizens except by efficient preparation? Leaving the personal element out of the question, young people today should take seriously the idea of a broad general education that they may take their part in the great work to be accomplished, that at the final reward they may hear the Master’s voice say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Hester Busman, '22. Boy Scouts of America Troop One Coopersville, Michigan During the school year a Boy Scout Troop was organized. We now have thirty members and hope to get more recruits in the near future.

We made a good showing in basket ball, claiming several of the best players, holding the laurels for jumping centers on both teams; and for an all round good time we are a bunch hard to beat. We started our Junior year losing two of the original members and gaining nine new ones. Several of our members have contributed to the orchestra. The class has enjoyed several social events, one of the best of which was a social given at the beginning of the school year.

The Sophomores are very enthusiastic and have lots of school spirit. This is shown by the fact that we raised the largest amount of money for the starving people of Europe. We were well represented in the High School orchestra, having ten members. The girls have a Camp Fire group. The social activities of the class were opened by a party held at the home of Mildred Russell. In addition to this, we had a “weenie” and marshmallow roast, and a valentine party. We are hoping for many more good times. Page Twenty-three Top Row, Left to Right—Harold Porter, Robert Koning, Lyle Hanchett.

Among the organizations of the class is a Correct English Club which is a great help toward better English. Several of our boys belong to the Boy Scouts, and the girls have a Camp Fire group. Also have several members in the orchestra. We, as Freshmen, have thus far enoyed our high school career, but we can truly justify the statement of Mr. Gibbs, “You cannot go through on roller skates.

Page Twenty-seven Boys’ Basket Ball After a few weeks of practice, the alumi decided to give us our first tryout on December 80. The game started with a rush. We were not sure of victory until the whistle blew. The game ended 12 to 9 in our favor. Jan 7. We journeyed into foreign lands to play against the Union Reserves. The first half ended ( to 2 in their favor. The orange and black tried to increase their number of points the second half, but it was impossible for either team to ring another basket. Jan. 21. Ravenna came to play us in our gym. The first half ended 8 to 9 in their favor. We came back strong in the second half and secured a 15 to 27 victory. Jan. 25. The strong Kent City five came to Coopersville. We were in the lead during the first half but could not keep it the last half and we were defeated 19 to 21. Jan. 28. We went to Sparta. Although our five played a very good game, we were beaten 11 to 14. Feb. 8. Our next game was with the C’ville Tigers. The game started fast and rough and continued so throughout. We were in the lead the first half but their weight proved too much for us the last half and we were defeated 14 to 19. Feb. 11. We were defeated at Ravenna in a very slow game with a score of 13 to 18. Feb. 18 marked another spot on our record when Calvin Rivals defeated us 11 to 15. Feb. 22. The Union Reserves came to Coopersville. Luck was against our five and we were beaten 6 to 8. Feb. 26. We were defeated by Hart 12 to 24. March 2. We journewed into foreign lands again. The Calvin Rivals beat us 12 to 27. March 4. After playing a very good game Kent City beat us 8 to 21 in their gvm. March 8. Sparta High came to Coopersville. The game started with a rush and this action continued throughout the game. The score was a tie at the end of the first half. In the last half they made one more point than we did and defeated us 11 to 12. March 11. We went to Hart. The more experienced and heavier five had a great advantage over us. The game ended 10 to 39 in their favor. April 7. We met the Tigers in our last game of the season. C. H. S. was determined to close the season with a victory. The first half ended 1 1 to 13 in our favor. Not being satisfied with a small lead we struck our stride in the last half and the game ended 15 to 30 in our favor. The Reserves won every game they played, beating Berlin High 27 to 9, Centennial five 24 to 8, and Kent City Reserves 33 to 15. The team of ’20-’21 will lose Bargwell, Gunneman, Taylor and Westover. Page Twenty-eight Base Ball Since only a few of the old players returned to school last fall, our hopes for a team were nearly gone. A meeting of the fans was called and the following were elected: Manager, Harold Bargwell; captain, Glenn Taylor. We started prac- ticing at once. It was learned that some real stars had entered school, and our hopes were regained. After a few days of practice, we were tried out on Nunica’s independent team. We were victorious. This gave us a lot of confidence, which we did not lose for the rest of the season. We hope we may be as successful this spring as we were last fall. Games and score: N unica Independents . 9 C.H.

This is one of the most successful seasons that the basket ball team has ever had in its record of experience. For the first time in the history of our basket ball team we have beaten the Sparta girls in both games. The team was victorious in seven of the ten games played. They bravely suffered three defeats. At the beginning of the season a large number of girls entered in the race for first team positions. A meeting was held and Marie Edwards was chosen captain. Alice Van Allsburg became our business manager. Miss Sima took the place as coach. Under her skillful coaching the team developed rapidly and showed their fighting qualities. Marie Edwards, the right forward and star player, proved her- self very capable in the art of basket shooting as her aim was accurate. Gladys Face and Alice Van Allsburg filled the place of left forward. The pair alternated at various times. They worked hard and did a great deal towards increasing the Page Twenty-nine scoring strength. Emma Lake secured the rank of jumping center. Her strength and ability increased the lighting power of the team. Margery Frost, the right guard, has a remarkable and unusal record. She has the credit of taking part in every game played by the first team during the four years of her high school career. Dorothy Albrecht and Helen Busman were equally skillful in guarding their opponents. Consequently each had the opportunity at different times to occupy the place of left guard. Mildred Russell played as running center the first part of the season. She was always on hand when needed. During the latter part of the season she was unable to play and Marjorie Park took her place. The subs, Martha Maebius and Esther Streeter, show promise of being successful first team players next year. Two interclass games were played between the Seniors and Juniors. In the first game the Seniors were victorious. The final score was 25 to 12. The last game was full of pep and hard fighting. The score was 32 to 29 with the Juniors in the lead. In the combat between the Faculty and the Juniors, the Faculty scored 12 points against the Juniors’ score of 3 k The first team played the Alumni during Christmas vacation and defeated them with a score of 36 to 6. The local attendance was good and helped keep up the enthusiasm of the players. The team had plenty of pep and good will. Each girl did her best to gain victory for the team and make the season a successful one. The Seniors who are leaving the team this year wish their successors unlimited success. Mr. Van Sickle, the former superintendent of Hudsonville schools, will be missed this year at the meet. He was widely known and well liked in Coopers- ville and his recent death was mourned deeply by his many friends here. Mr. Race, of Ravenna, will be at the meet this year. We are glad to hear of this, as he is a good friend to any athletic work. M. R, '21.

Orchestra The graduating class of 1921 decreased the number of the High School Orches- tra to a large extent. Notwithstanding this fact we had an unusually large num- ber to take their places. Through the instruction of Mr. Martin who has directed both the orchestra and band from the beginning, wonderful progress has been made. The first orchestra this year has thirty-three members. Rehearsals are held on every Tuesday at 7:00 P. M. The concert given by this orchestra on February 25 was a success. The net proceeds, which amounted to $20.00, were given to the Near East Relief. Another concert will be given during the spring term. The beginners’ orchestra has a membership of seventeen. They are making great progress. The band which was organized last year for the purpose of furnishing music for field day has also progressed. We have now nine members and hope to furnish “real music” on the coming field day. Rehearsals are held at 4:30 P. M. every Tuesday. A half credit is given for a year of orchestra work. We feel that no school should be without a High School Orchestra. If the same interest, which has been promoted by Miss Way and Mr. Birdsell, is shown by future students as in the past, they will always have a successful High School Orchestra. C G., 22.

It has twenty members, a slight increase over last year’s membership. Through the unceasing efforts of every member, each has received a half credit for her work. The officers for the year were: H.

It must have been the man at thg other counter.” Original Humor Mr. Birdsell: “What is the differ- ence between a civil suit and a criminal suit ?” Glenn Taylor: “Well, if a man was hurt in a fight he would go to a Jus- tice of the Peace and swear that he was hurt.” Mr. Birdsell: “Most people do swear when they are hurt.” A Case in Geometry By a Senior Girl Given: John Wolbrink and Rus- sell Wolbrink.

For all my friends are dead. “But I must stay and help the cooks. My duties all are here.
