jrtfp||fgf|§ j-jgfh costumes. A Junior Social was held for the purpose of raising money to give the Seniors a banquet. Athletics, as in both years before, were enjoyed by some of our classmates. We again won the cup in the track meet. As in previous years cur class picnic v. as held at Wolf Lake.. Our Senior year, to which we looked forward with so much pleasure, has come, but we find not so much happiness in being Seniors, for we know that our days at C’ville are nearly over. The Freshman Reception was the first event of the school year and what a sight the great number of Freshmen made rolling peanuts across the floor. Our first and only class party of the year was a barn party at Balcom’s. Other pleasures of the year were the singing in the morning and the pleasure of remaining after school for one hour if or.ce we whispered. Our Annual Staff was chosen and much hard work and time has been spent in making this annual a success. Something new “A Spring Party” was started by Mr. Rens. What fun we had there! Never before did we realize that we had among us such notable whistlers. Athletics as usual were enjoyed. Basketball is over and baseball and track practice have begun. This year’s track meet with Ravenna decides whether we keep the cup or not. Are we? We sure are if possible for this will be the last thing that the class of twenty-three can do for the honor of the school Our school days are swiftly drawing to a close and the last things v e will enjoy as a class will be our class play, commencement and picnic. But whatever the future holds for us, if all the dreamed of joys are ours, and no dark clouds settle upon us, the new life we shall begin can never equal in enjoyment, the happy days we have spent in C’ville High.

 svllb JJljjh 5c|v o!| history of the 0lass of ’23 S THE Senior year is rapidly drawing to a close, and each one is about to launch his boat on life’s stream, our thoughts dwell on those happy days nearly over. One nice morning in September, 1919, thirty-three, insignificant, little Freshmen climbed the stairs for the first time to enter upon that school life they had heard so much about. Were we scared? Just ask us how we liked to go past the upper classmen to the encyclopedia. How like great oaks, which keep the sunshine from the acorn, were the Seniors to us. We finally overcame our scared feeling, for the Seniors let us use the drinking fountain and the hooks without much complaint. Having overcome these difficulties, we organized our class and entered into the school activities with a great deal of pep. Some of our girls joined the Hot Lunch Club, others organized the Ta Ta Pouchon Camp Fire, and quite a few of our members joined the orchestra. We were also interested in athletics although not many took part, we helped support them by paying our dues. In the track we contributed some good material. There were also a good many social events such as Freshman Reception and Girls’ Gym Party. Our first class event was a marshmallow roast, where the boys received their initiation. We also had some other parties, the most notable being the sleig’h-ride party and St. Patrick or Leap Year Party which was held at the school. Our last event of the year was a picnic at Wolf Lake. Our next year, v.e were nearly as strong in number as when Freshmen. There were thirty members We now took it upon ourselves to give the Freshmen the same treatment as we had received the year before. But this soon wore off for we became too much involved in the mysteries of Geometry and the Wars of Caesar to bother with such insignificant things. We in- dulged in the usual round of parties. Our class also showed their true spirit and cooperation by raising more money in the Armenian fund than any other class. When the orchestra was reorganized ten of our members joined and we boasted of members on basketball, baseball and track teams. This year, v e gained possession of the cup in the track meet with Ravenna and Hudsonville, for first time after seeing Ravenna run off with it the year be- fore. Cur class picnic was-held at Wolf Lake, as usual. We were forty-three strong at the beginning of our Junior year after be- ing reenforced by members from Aller.dale, Nunica. and elsewhere. We were now upper classmen with only one more step up the ladder to that highly honora-ble place occupied by Seniors. What a joyous year we spent, for along with our studies there was much time for pleasure. As usual we had our annual Freshman Reception and v.e journeyed to the homes of Richard Conrad and Walter Omlor for social times. Then the Junior and Sophomore girls gave a Gym Party and how queer the girls appeared in their funny Page Twenty-two

Class ill E THE Class of 1923, cf Coopersville High School, of the city of Cccpersville, in the state of Michigan, being cf sound mind and memory and realizing that the end of our High School career is drawing near, do, therefore make, ordain, declare and publish this to be our last Will and Testament. The vast estate which we, through the aid of the Fates have laboriously or otherwise amassed together, we now lovingly bequeath as follows:— First, we order and direct that our executor hereinafter named, pay all our just debts and graduation expenses as soon after commencement as con- veniently may be. Second, after the payment of such graduation expenses and debts, we give, devise and bequeath to the Juniors our seats in the assembly room, to have and to hold for one year, on condition that they keep them free from all litter such as love letters, comic post cards, dime novels, etc. We bestow upcn the Sophomores the use of the stairways, provided they do not wear them out running up and down them in school hours. We give and bequeath to the Freshmen the use of a limited number of hooks in the hall. They must be there at 8:30 every morning to claim them. If they are not, same hooks are to go to the Juniors. To our beloved Faculty, we assign our famous examination papers, the like of which has never been seen before, nor is it likely that they will be seen again. We give and bequeath to Marvin Bulthuis the friendship of the class, es- pecially of one. Wc also give him the front seat now occupied by Marion. May it hold pleasant memories. Being charitably inclined we make the following personal bequests of which the benefactors have no further need:— I, Eva Rankans bequeath to Adeline Dyke my ability to talk. It is my last wish that the future faculty have clemency on her behalf. I, Flossie Nibbelink bestow upcn Elga Laubengayer my patented giggle and the right to be noisy once in a while. I, Walter Omlor leave my foolish laugh and childish ways to anyone who will take them. We, Bertha Esther, Beatrice Bolhuis and Jennie Westrate give and be- queath to Myrtle Winr.ey and Haro’d Porter the remains of our tablets and Page Twenty-four
