And we found, indeed, ’twas (rue as the fates. For there was much more work than play. As freshmen, we thought it would be nought but larks. Where we whiled away the gay hours, Hut, alas and alack! fate played havoc with marks. And compelled us to rebuild our towers. Our first High School year, too soon was done, For we knew much less than we ought. When for us, the Sophomore name had been won, Many battles were still to be fought. A frolicsome journey, as Juniors, we had. In which no care ruffled our sail. Whatever the word of the teachers might be, Our own thoughts of wisdom were sure to prevail. The fourth year has dawned so bright and clear, And we blazen the Seniors’ name, We had hoped and longed for our last year But not yet can we boast of fame. Thus we reach a bend in the winding road. Through the vista, we long have run. We pray that success may lighten our load, In the many long years to come. M. M. M. ’24 Page Nineteen Salutatory WE, THE Class of ’24, have now reached Commencement, and as we appear to-night as a class for the last time upon this platform, we begin to realize just what it means. We are glad to see here so many of the mothers and fathers who have assisted us in attaining this goal, and wish to extend our whole-hearted thanks to all who have helped to make this great opportunity possible. To-night is Commencement —commencement of the Voyage of Life. We have looked forward to this great night with eagerness. Our one aim in high school life was to be graduated, and we have labored to that end, expecting a crown of glory when it was reached. And now victory is at hand; but I wonder, now that we have completed our course, if we have won the greatest battle in Life! We have indeed won a victory—a small one, only a beginning —but it shows we have taken our first big stride for- ward in preparing ourselves for the future, and we are determined to make life a success. To-night we launch —where shall we anchor? All the preceding years have been developing and preparing us, not for this event alone, but for life. Slowly, each one of us has been constructing a craft, in the ship-yard of Education. We have been given the essential materials—reading, writ- ing, arithmetic, and the other school subjects, and our teachers have daily shown us the specifications for construction, but it was up to each of us to build our own craft. If we have put it loosely together, we shall meet with ruin and disaster, but if we have builded wisely we shall be carried safely over the shoals throughout our voyage. We are launching out confidently on life’s vast ocean, secure in the knowledge that our previous work has been well done. We are now cap- tains of our own destiny, and as we assume control, we feel that we can guide our craft safely to the harbor. We know there will be difficulties to overcome and that storms and hardships will assail us, but each victory will increase our powers and wisdom and better fit us for the future. And as we near the shore, we’ll anchor not among the rocks and sand- bars, but keeping away from the reefs and wrecks, and guided by help from above, we’ll reach the sheltering harbor where we may rest, know- ing that we have accomplished things worth while in life. BERYL GLEASON, ’24 Page Twent Mother She was only a lonely mother, Feeble and gray and old, And the furrowing wrinkles round her brow Their story of heart aches told. The sunshine stroked her silver hair. With colors of golden hue. And lighted her kind and patient face, And her eyes of heavenly blue. Gently she smoothed the golden star, That in the window hung; Reverently she kissed the emblem, As its folds to the breezes she flung. Sadly she thought of her soldier boy, And bowing, a prayer she yields For the lonely grave and the wooden cross, ’Neath the skies in Flanders fields. With murmurs drawn and weary, She breathed a last long sigh; Shrouded with golden sunset; Celestial with amber sky. Pallid and silent and peaceful; Calm with ethereal joy; Her last long prayer was answered, For she was indeed with her boy. Class History ONE bright morning in September, 1920, as we stood expectantly bp- fore C. H. S., we thought we had a fairly clear idea of what was expected of us. We have since come to realize that there was more than we anticipated, but we have tried our best to do what was asked of us. Selecting our subjects and becoming acquainted made the first few days busy ones, but the teachers w’ere very kind and considerate in helping us to adapt ourselves to the new surroundings. It was not long before the upper classes invited us to a party, which we will long remember as our initiation into the social events of the school. After this our position gradually grew more tolerable and a deeper interest in the school activities was aroused. We established a Correct English Club for the improvement of our English, which the most of us sorely needed. Some of the girls joined the Hot Lunch Club and Camp Fire. In the spring of 1921, we, as a school, had a track meet with Ravenna and Hudsonville. The silver cup which had been held by Ravenna the previous year, was awarded to Coop- ersville, which, if we retained for three years, would become ours perma- nently. This, no doubt, did much to increase the school’s athletic spirit and to awaken a new determination to keep the cup in C. H. S. We now madly busied ourselves in preparing for the final examinations which were happily ended by a picnic at Wolf Lake. Encouraged by the success of our first year, we returned as a class of enthusiastic and studious Sophomores in the fall. Now came our turn at the Freshmen reception, to show the Freshmen how little they really knew. The only other party held that year was at the home of Mr. Conrad, who certainly showed us what real fun was. Gradually, as we became better acquainted with our classmates and teachers, we felt that indescribable school spirit creep into our veins. This manifested itself in our school work and in the support given to athletics. This year was fittingly “topped off” by a hilarous, care-free party at Wolf Lake. When we entered our Junior year our class was reinforced by students from Nunica, Allendale, Lamont and other ten-grade schools. The Fresh- men reception was held in the I. 0. O. F. hall, where we all enjoyed watch- ing the Freshmen roll peanuts across the floor with their noses. Similar to this was the spring party originated by Mr. Rens and held in April. There was an unusual interest shown in the preparation for the track meet, for if we won this time the cup was ours. It was a close contest, Coopersville winning by a small score. The Junior play, “Hans VonSmash,” was given to raise funds for the Junior-Senior banquet. As the year drew to a close, we began to realize that we would soon be dignified Seniors and that our goal was in sight. To conclude the school year our annual picnic was again held at Wolf Lake. In the fall we returned, rested in body and mind, ready to begin our Rage Twcnty-tW' Jjsoj rjvifJe- jjigh 5E: IDafl Senior year, with a feeling of confidence which was lacking three years be- fore, when we were timid freshmen. We gave the usual reception and the freshmen, mid the cheers of the spectators, were taught to run the “kiddy- kar. ” We have had two other parties, one at the home of Helene Ter- Avest and the other a sleigh-ride to Glenroe Mohns’. An important event in our Senior year was the adoption of our class ring by the other classes. Costume day, originating for the first time this year, proved to be a laugh- ing success. Imaginations ran wild in designing “make-ups,” and Oh! such sights as we seen passing to and from classes. This year we have been able to appreciate the splendid work of the annual staff, which has exhibited exceptional ability in making the Annual a success. But now. our high school life is drawing to a close, and as we look back we see how brief it has been. We are about to launch upon the sea of life itself, and may we do as Wordsworth says: “Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith trumphant o’er our fears, Are all with thee —are all with thee!” HARVEY LE ROY ANDERSON Class Historian Page Twenty-three Class Will We, the Class of 1924, of the Village of Coopersville, Township 0f Polk ton. State of Michigan, having proven ourselves to be of sound mind and memory, do make, declare and publish this, our last will and testament, and with honor and respect bequeath the following: To the Faculty, our fame and prosperity, which we have not yet at- tained, but which we hope to obtain as a result of their teaching. To the Juniors, the right to throw chalk, laugh and to talk on subjects not pertaining to class business during class meetings. Also our attitude of knowing it all and knowing that we know it all. To the Sophomores we give the privilege of eating candy in school hours, providing they share them with the Faculty. To the Freshmen we bequeath our sophistication, our dignity and our ability to think up foolish ideas.

LEALAH GLEASON. Page Twenty' Prophecy A LARGE field of flowers ahead seems to announce to me that my journey would soon be ended and the problem which had caused me so much thought would be solved. Entering this field I started to pick some of the flowers, but my task of finding the flower which pleased me most seemed hopeless. At last I discovered a beautiful rose growing under a tree in a secluded spot which attracted my attention. I plucked this rose and as I did so my thoughts began to wander to the future of my classmates and teachers from Coopersville High School. Then as if the Makers’ hands had touched the flower, it began to grow and the petals to spread, which caused a kind of screen to be cast over the flower. My problem was solved, for there in each petal was portrayed the future occupation of each member of the class and faculty of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, and from these visions I deduced the following prophecies; Gayl Grieve taught school for a few years and then became messenger for the Editor-in-Chief of the Coopersville Observer. We always wondered when in school why Gayl was so interested in her home paper, but at last the mystery is solved. Lyle Hanchett, after leaving school, studied surgery at the University of Michigan and now is a successful surgeon in Mayo Brothers Hospital in Minnesota., Marvin Bulthuis, our star athlete, is pitching for the New York Nat- ionals. Helene TerAvest has established a boarding school for girls at Denni- son. Her rules are very strict as she will not allow the use of powder and rouge and bobbed hair is not permitted. Henry Ahrens taught History at M. A. C. for a few years and has recently been elected senator from Michigan. Ben Nanninga has become very wealthy on his stock farm at Lamont with his unlimited knowledge of breeding Jersey cattle. Florence Haas attended Kalamazoo Normal for two years, where she specialized in French and English. She taught at C. H. S. two years ago and proved to be successful, as they asked her to teach the next year, but she had greater attractions elsewhere. Edward Wezeman went abroad to study art and is now a famous artist, drawing cartoons for the Chicago Herald and Examiner. Ruby Barrett attended school at Ypsilanti, where she received a life certificate, and since then she has taught kindergarten in Marne. Page Twenty-seven Jjasj0 rjV'53l jjijgh Jc Lealah Gleason worked in Grand Rapids for a while, where she became very popular in society. She was fortunate enough to marry one of Grand] Rapids’ wealthiest citizens and is manager of a large household. Emery Scott was always fond of arguing and at last has reached his aim. He has become a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases. Carl Stephens joined the navy immediately after graduation and last year he was appointed Secretary of the Navy. Carl is very fond of this work, as Inez Nibbelink, his high school classmate, is his private secretary. Wilma Sickles was always very popular among the young people and is in Hawaii giving dancing lessons to the natives. Reginald Goodrich, small in stature but large in mind, had succeeded very well in the management of our “Aloha” and is now manager of the G. R., G. H. M. Railway. Garland Baker after working in the Coopersville Bakery for several years, started in business for himself. He owns the well known “Baker’s Bakery” in Grand Rapids and discovered a new receipe for making wedding cake which pleases all the young people. Eleanor Stevens is a close relative of Ben Gunneman and lives on a large farm near Eastmanville where she raises Rhode Island Red chickens. Frances Bolhuis worked in the Hospital in Ann Arbor and became a graduate nurse. She is the head nurse at Hackley Hospital at Muskegon. Harold Van Doom owns a large cattle ranch in Montana and had the good fortune to marry a widow with six children. Ben Gunneman has changed his disposition greatly. He is State In- spector of Schools in Florida. Alys Barret is very popular and wealthy in Cleveland where she owns a restaurant. Her winning smile seems to draw much trade. Glenroe Mohns attended Calvin College after leaving C. H. S. and be came a minister. He was then sent as a missionary to China. Jean Scott, well known by her dramatic ability is traveling all ovei the world speaking on the benefits of bobbed hair. Gerald Lubben is a prominent photographer, specializing in pictures o young women, but however, he has a life’s contract for taking pictures fo the C. H. S. annuals. Beryl Gleason, the champion typer of the United States, is the Fresi dent’s private secretary. Hunter Noble attended the University of Chicago for four years and i one of the best dentists in Chicago. � Marietta Marshall, always interested in school work, is teaching i Page Twenty-ei country school in Japan, where she has been for the last fourteen years. Harvey Anderson took a course in electrical engineering and is building suspension bridges across the Amazon in South America. Miner Meinderstma reached a high place in society after becoming owner of one of the largest automobile factories at Flint. Doris DeNeff has a large millinery store in Dublin giving them all the latest American styles. Justin Wolbrink, a daring aviator has been arrested several times for exceeding the speed limit with his high power hydroplane but still he makes his weekly trips to Europe. FACULTY Mr. Hager grew tired of teaching school and not being able to pay an income tax, is now a professional dancing teacher in Boston. Miss Bouma went to Paris and has become a great actress under the name of “Betty Lovejoy” starring in “Love Nest”. Mr. Coon still interested in school work is Superintendent of the Science Department at the University of Alabama. Miss Whelan took vocal lessons and is a world-known singer of Grand Opera in New York. Mrs. Kern is President of the McLachlan Business University at Grand Rapids where she has all the latest model typewriters but they must be re- paired every week. Mr. Conrad has been working for the Government for several years and recently was appointed Minister to Spain. Miss Mann is a famous author and has just published her latest book “Running Wild’’. E. V. E , ’24 Page Twenty-nine •j fjjrgb Valedictory PARENTS, teachers and friends, we have now reached the first mile- stone of our lives. We are glad to see so many of you at our last greatest rejoicing as a class. Now, as we are about to go on along the steep and devious paths of the world, we realize that you have made these happy days of high school life possible for us. Through the many sacrifices of our parents, the advice and patience of our teachers, the hearty support of our friends and our ef- forts, we have succeeded in attaining our high school education, which is to be the key to our future lives. Many glorious days have we spent thinking, struggling and still enjoy- ing. We have worked together, making the best of difficulties and enjoy- ing many good times in each others’ companionship as an earnest, jolly class. Classmates, these care-free days are now at an end. Days gone by and beyond recall. Old friends will be separated and forgotten and to some of us perhaps this may mean a farewell forever. So, it is with our hearts filled with regret and gratitude that we leave dear old C. H. S. —regret that we are to sever the happy ties of school life, and gratitude to the faculty, who, by efficient training, have guided us toword one of the happi- est days of our life, our Graduation Day. All of these bright sunny days will soon be but memories. It is little wonder then, that a tinge of sadness is blended with the color of our “Farewell”. As if cast into a strange labyrinth, we will soon find that we are left alone to seek our way out of this strange, yet wonderful intricacy. We have built our ships of life, each in our own model and from our own material and “To-night we launch, where shall we anchor?” What our future life is to be depends entirely upon the directions in which we guide our vessels. Some may be tossed over rough waters and carried astray into a sea of darkness and be listed with “The Ship that Never Returned”. Others may sail into unknown waters and discover new lands of “Ad- vancement” and “Opportunity”. Perhaps some of us may find ourselves left to the cruel fate of a wilt and threatening wind storm and our little ships will be wrecked on the deep, foaming ocean; then will some kind classmate, as in days gone by send out a life-boat to the needy and bring them safe to shore. Page Th What battles and victories we win on our voyage, time alone will tell. We will do our best as sailors and daring seamen. So, to-night as we meet at the wharf of life and bid each other farewell, we will each launch our ship and sail off into the sea of life. With good reason and the help of God we will conquer the mad waves. Then, at the “First Peep o’ Dawn,” we will float in upon the clear, blue waters of a glittering bay and sunrise will find us anchored on the shores of “Success.” Now, as we are about to separate, speaking in behalf of the Senior Class of 1924, I wish to thank you for your interest in our work and bid each and every one of you farewell.

We are in every way an intelligent group of young people and here s the proof. I wo of our number have reached “Summa Cum Lauda’ while many others have gained lesser honors. Contrary to custom, we, as a Junior Class, are so capable that we have chosen our colors, flower and motto instead of waiting until next year. After much discussion Cerise and Copenhagen Blue were chosen as colors, roses as flowers and “Not Evening, But Dawn’’ as our motto. A play, “The Dust of the Earth’’, was presented by the Juniors, the proceeds of which helped to give our dear Seniors a banquet. Successis our aim and we mean to get there. We are loyal to our school in our interest in athletics. Track, basket ball, base ball and other activities are attended and made better by both our boys and girls. Although we delight in all these things we must not forget our parties. We have had a party, or rather a “peanut pick,” which was enjoyed by all. A penny hike, which was followed by a weenie roast, proved a great suc- cess, while many other good times will long be remembered. Now, since our Junior year is almost over, we must leave you, and hope to meet you next year again —not as Juniors, but as Seniors —with the high glories of that state about us, remembering nevertheless, memories of the past.

Our class is composed of 43 earnest, fun-loving members. We have our usual routine of good times, but try not to let them in- terfere with our school work. Next year we expect to be Juniors and the next Seniors. Then we shall go out to finish our education and take our stand in life. We hope to make good citizens and help make our country more helpful, more loving, more beautiful. To us there is no such word as “Fail.” V. M. H.

During the latter part of the month the following officers were elected: Harold Westover, President; Neva Gleason, Vice-President; Addrianna Grieve, Secretary; Kenneth Streeter, Treasurer. Later the office of treasurer was taken by Margue- rite Lieffers. The Freshmen class took an active part in athletics, being represented on the basket ball and base ball teams. Also a goodly number of us joined the Athletic Association. The girls organized a Camp Fire group which has proven a success. During the year we have managed to have a great deal of fun, in school and out, in spite of being Freshmen. A. G. and N. G. Class Advisor—Miss Mann.

Although we were beaten in two-thirds of the games, our opponents scored but 224 points to our 242 points. In all we played 15 games and won 5 games by large scores. “Tink” Westover, our left forward, was the smallest man on the team, but what he lacked in weight he made up in speed. In all he made 54 points for his team. Lubben, our right forward, was one of the scrappiest players on the team. He could be depended upon to carry the ball down the floor. We will remember him by his clean qualities through which he made 31 points for the team. “Hank” Cook, our lanky guard, was looked up to as our tower of defense and was very active in breaking up our opponents’ offense by his clean playing and quick thinking. He made 2 points for his team. “Pewee” Russell, our left guard, although very small, made up his lack of weight by his speed and quick thinking. He played a good game at guard and always could be depended upon for his defense and offense. Although a guard, he made 11 points for the team. “Boots” Bulthuis, our captain and high point man of the season, played a splendid game in spite of his opeiation for appendicitis during the early part of the year. He was responsible for G3 points. “Bob” Gordon proved to be a very fast utility man, playing either for- ward or guard positions with ease and precision. In all he added 12 points to our total. “Hub” Hinken, who was out of the game during the early season with a fractured leg, came back strong in the last games. His hard and fast playing was remarkable at all times. Of the total points he was respons- ible for 25. “Brute” Bosma played a good game as substitute and is to be praised for his loyalty and perseverance. “Gerry” Laug was one of the team until his subjects caused him to be taken out. He was a fast man on the floor and had a wicked eye for the basket. In his efforts put forth for the team he made 21 points for C. H. S. Our basket ball prospects for next year look more promising than Page Fift k fjiih $t:hcid] they did at the opening of the past season. There will be five first team men back next year, about which a strong team can be built. In addition the second team mateiial is plenty and extremely promising. M. J. B. and R. J. H.

Page Fifty-tw Page Fifty-three JjBOjp£PJvi!l SchsaJ Girls’ Basket Ball The basket ball season of 1923-24 was considered to be quite success- ful for the girls, considering that the majority of the team were new playeis. They won seven of the twelve games played. Esther Jenkyn, captain of the team, played a fast, aggressive game as jumping center. She has one more year at Coopersville. Harriet Reed developed into a splendid running center although the first part of the season she played forward. Ethelyn Easterly, guard, playing her first year of basket ball, showed a remarkable fighting spirit throughout the season. Neva Gleason, as right forward, never failed to give her opponent a merry chase around the floor. She has three more years to play. Gayle Grieve, playing at guard, was a valuable asset to the team. She could always be depended upon to get the ball. Dorothy Busman played at forward. She did much for the success of the team by her accurate shooting and fast floor work. Mildred Lawton, Dorothy Shaver and Lealah Gleason, substitutes, could always be depended upon to play when necessary. Miss Bouma, our in skillful passing, like victory. Coopersville .......

We have a rehearsal every Monday at four under the direction of Mr. Cook of Grand Rapids. We supplemented the Christmas progiam of the High School with several selections which we had learned duiing the year and we fur- nished the music for the Junior play, “The Dust of the Earth.” Although a half credit is given for a year of orchestra work, we feel that we are working for something greater than that and that if the interest which is now shown is continued Coopersville High School will not be without an orchestra. the interest shown by Mr. Conrad.

G. Page Fifty-nine Photo by Fainprold Camp Wata-Poo-Kee For four years we, the Seniors, have had a Camp Fire group. As an organization we have employed both work and play. We have not only gone camping, hiking and swimming, but have given a play, various parties and with the aid of another camp, four Mother and Daughter banquets. Through all our work and play we have attempted to keep Camp Fire ideals ever in mind and we feel that on the whole we have helped to make these ideals a little better known. M. M. Camp Tipiwakan Camp Tipiwakan has accomplished many things in the past year. Our membership has increased so that we are now eighteen in number. We have raised money by the sale of candy and our famous baked goods. With our Senior Sisters we have given the Mother and Daughter banquet. Our particular hobbies are hiking and eating, most of us show ability in both lines. We feel that our success is due to our faithful guardian, Miss Mann. Next year we intend to continue our work and we feel that we are going to succeed. R. N. Page Sixty 1 y I-';iin .M FresKmen-Sophomore Camp Fire Girls Camp Withawentin was organized in the fall of ’22 with eleven mem- bers. During the summer of ’23 they spent a delightful week with their Junior sisters at Wolf Lake. The “Iyuskin” Camp, of which there are twelve members, was organ- ized in the fall of ’23. They have enjoyed many good times this year. The two camps gave a successful play in the spring of ’24. They, with their guardians Odakota and Wihitonga, intend to spend two weeks camp- ing this summer. M. W. and N. G.

We have twenty-five members, which is the largest membership the club has had since it was organized in 1917. One-half credit is given to each Hot Lunch member who completes the required amount of work. Besides our daily routine of work we were successful in our “Bake Sale,” which we held this year. The Hot Lunch members wish to thank Miss Burke, our kind advisor. We are also thankful to our patronizers and to Mr. Knowlton for his many kind acts. J. R. S. Officers Myrtle Winney ................

Although a majority of votes was given to Zeeland, our team showed a better form than might have been expected from beginners. In the next debate, at Martin, the team scored a two to one victory which meant that it received three points. The defeat at Muskegon Heights was the only one of the season. In the course of time the same people were asked, because of their ability, to uphold the affirmative in the last debate, which was with Zeeland. The Michigan Debating League was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in public speaking and debating. The participation of Coopersville in the activities of the League has, we hope, awakened the High School to a realization of the fact that it needs a public speaking course where all who wish may receive training in the most useful art— that of being able to face an audience with confidence.

There once was a girl named Florence, Who for kissing professed great abhorence; But when she’d been kissed And found what she’d missed, She cried till the tears fell in torrents. Fuzzy (in lunch room)—“Waiter, give me milk and shredded wheat biscuits.” Waiter (to man behind)—“Cow juice for two straw pillows.” Mrs. Kern—“A quadruped travels on four legs and a biped goes on two legs. Give an example of a biped.” Neva—“A pair of stockings.” Teacher—“John, name an organ of the body.” John—“A tooth.” Teacher—“What kind of an organ is it?” John—“A grind organ, Mum.” Hager—“Where were you yesterday?” Myrtle—“I had the toothache.” Hager—“And does it ache now?” Myrtle—“I don’t know, the dentist has it.” ii?p Seventy-live |jaop $� vi!3e ehi Moonlight (A Soaking Good Romance) Gliding in the moonlight, Moonlight on the sea; Sea caressed by white caps, You caressed by me. Floating on the water, Sparkling green and blue; Waves are kissing tenderly; We are kissing too. Clouds begin to gather. Lightning in the sky; Lightning on the water. Lightning in her eye. Rain is pouring madly, Nothing, nothing dry; While it soaks me on the head, She soaks me in the eye. — Record CURTAIN G. B.
