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.
