Now, as our work nears completion, and the sun sinks and evening shadows fall, we sit alone, lost in memories. Our mind wanders back to our lirst advent into high school, and our struggles through the ensuing years, which have given us the opportunity to build into reality those air castles of which we have dreamed all through our high school days. Four years have fleetingly passed since we, as Freshmen, entered the portals of Coopersville High School on a beautiful September morning. Having been duly initiated at the Freshman reception, we were allowed to delve into the mysteries of Algebra, Ancient History, Latin, English and Science. We enjoyed a few parties during the course of the year, but no late hours were kept lest we shock our worthy protectors, the upper classmen. I he re- mainder of the year was devoted to the attainment of knowledge and June found us entitled to a vacation. We had our picnic at Wolf Lake. . In September we again assembled in the halls of learning, fewer in number, but still as lively as ever. As Sophomores we continued our social life bv giving several parties, only on a larger scale, for we were growing and could show' that we were able to take care of ourselves. We also gave a lunch for the benefit of the Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Hayes, who was our class adviser. The next fall our class, having been re-inforced by new' mem- bers from Allendale, Conklin and Nunica, numbered forty-two Juniors. Under the management of Miss Hayes, our adviser, we gave the Junior Carnival, “ 1 he Pepper Pot,’ which proved to be a great success. In spite of various other social activities, our les- sons were far from neglected, and w'e quickly assimilated the know ledge w'hich our instructors offered us. In the spring we proved otir dramatic ability by presenting “When Smith Stepped Out” to a crowded hall on Thursday and Fridav evenings, April 15 and 16. From the proceeds we provided the high school with new stage curtains, which were badly needed. We feted the Seniors with a Japanese Banquet, which bade fare- well to them as a class. The annual picnic was held at Wolf Lake, and we looked out on the world as Seniors. Our dignity had now reached its zenith. We were slowly Page Twenty-I nearing the pinnacle of our hopes, and we felt it. A competent corps of ollicers was elected. Henry Derks was chosen President; Jeannette Kraai, Vice-President; Frank Brown, Secretary and El- vin Shook, Treasurer. We were well represented in athletics all through our high school days. We are proud to claim stars on both the basket ball and foot ball teams. When the declamation contest was started, we carried away high honors. We took an active part in the Debating Society, Glee Club work and Camp Fire organizations. At a class meeting we decided upon purple and gold for col- ors, lily-of-the-valley for our flower and “Onward, Upward, ’Till the Goal We Win as our motto. The Senior play, “Peg ’O My Heart,” was a grand success, with Neva starring as “Peg.” The Annual Staff, having been elected earlier in the year, work on the annual began in earnest in March. The history is soon told. As the end draws near we realize that we are but one wave on the seashore of school life. We come rolling in, greater and more magnificent than our predecessors. We enjoy a brief moment of exalted power, only to be dashed on the rocks, but our place is soon filled with another wave of perhaps greater magnitude, and our high position is but a memory to be treasured for the remain- der of our lease on life. We can consider the four years we have spent in high school as having been successful; and yet it is with regret that we lay down our books and take up our diplomas to start in the greater battles of life. F. C. Page Twenty-Five Prophecy Traveling alone through the “Isles of Neverwas”, Pondering and searching for new story materials, I came upon a statue, huge in dimensions, Standing up near a cave in the mountains. A tablet of stone lay immovable beside it, And I paused a moment to decipher the writing So painstakingly scratched in the hard surface. 1 started unbelieving at what I beheld. Roger Bennett has achieved greatness; He's a modern dairy man. Netty Dyke is his assistant; And she helps him all she can. Grant Carpenter works very hard. His life is full of strife, As he struggles in a factory To support his dainty wife. Keith Busman teaches history In a little southern town. 1 le’s a shiek among the ladies, And they flock from miles around. Nellie Kaufman is the owner Of the “Snappy Beauty Shoppe. She keeps Jenniemae and Florence Always on the hop. Jeannette Kraai is growing stouter For she hasn’t much to do; She merely issues orders of 1 low to bake and fry and stew. Jessie King teaches kindergarten Up at the Double Bends. Earl Grunwell always loved her So that school he now attends. Page Twenty-SiX p3Dperjyi|)e j“jigh 5chnpJ Wayne Lubben is still bashful Though he married Beaulah Brown. They live happily together on A farm not far from town. Nellie and Alberta Sietsema Are traveling now in Spain. Since they inherited their millions They have both grown very vain. Elroy Mosher took up boxing And he certainly is fast. Stuart Ruseell is his manager So his wild days must be past. And another boy of ’27 Shines in the world of sports. Tink Westover does the high jump And (lashes on the courts. Audrey Grieve is his companion; He’s hooked up with her for life. She had planned to be a teacher, But she’d rather be his wife. In a funny little red brick house In a far off town in France, Orus Shook spends every hour Teaching women how to dance. Juanita Witham in a roadster With enormous jeweld hubs, Goes to all the fashionable dinners And the dances at the Clubs. Verne VanLaan is a great Doctor; He has invented some new pills. They will make you short or thinner And are a guaranteed cure for ills. Edith Scott is now notorious She sells moonshine on the sly. And she’s always raking in the dough ’Cause her prices are so high. I’airc I'wvnty-Seven Virginia Goodrich is a welfare nurse: She helps the poor and needy. I’ve heard she’s lost most 20 pounds So I guess she must be speedy. Caroll Lubben manufactures gum Which sells so very cheap He drove Wrigley’s out of business So they took to raising sheep. Margaret Moore runs a bureau And gives out much advice. She also writes for the papers Her works are full of spice. Roy McLellan is a poor old tramp And goes from door to door. Doris Peterson is quite well-to-do So she now sees him no more. Henry Dyksterhouse is now an orator I lis speeches have much weight. Art Ferguson’s his boon companion And keeps him going straight. If you drop in at the Oriental, sometime Upon the stage you'll see Frank Brown directing his orchestra. They’re as hot as they can be. Ida Schillinger wouldn't study When she got through High School, So now she poses as a statue Near a public swimming pool. Georgie Breen and Elvin Shook Have both grown very bold. They trade in the Zooliegan Islands Where they fight and quarrel for gold. Out in Florida by the ocean Alice Devenport Hits around. She’s quite a Real Estate saleswoman, But her investments are unsound. Page Twenty-Eigh ---; -- • —---.--;- rpvp fxvflfaSchim1 Henry Derks, Jr., so fond of arguing Now surely has his fill; For his wifey talks continually And poor Henry is nil. Marie TerAvest, tall and wiry Rides a bronco way out west. She looks even more than ‘darling’ In her knickers and white vest. Ralph Brown became a sailor His life is bold and free. 1 le sings wild songs to his matevs As they bound across the sea. Mr. Conrad hasn't given up teaching Though lie works in the New York Zoo. 1 le likes to teach the animals And he says it’s easier too. Miss Hayes married her doctor And he makes her pout and fret; Because he sees so many other women ’Though they haven’t quarreled yet. Mr. Dell grew so discouraged Because he couldn’t get a wife That he committed suicide And ended his miserable life. Mr. Veldhuis loved his teaching So he said he would teach on. They gave him a job in Bugville Where he teaches his only son. On the southern coast of Africa, Not far from Cannibal Bay Miss Fredricks and her missionary Work the live long day. Miss Van Hartesveldt never married Couldn’t catch a man, you know; Now her youthful charms have vanished And she’s growing old and slow. Page Twenty-Nine Dear Miss Yount, so tender hearted Runs a boarding house for dogs. Thee eat from pine board tables And sit on hemlock logs. Coopersville High School is no longer In this year of '49. There now stands a brand new college Gift of ‘Dear Old Father Time'. Then turning slowly, 1 ran down the mountain To tell all the world of my queer discovery. At last I had found my story material, A find, which I'm sure will please many people. Class Will W e, the class of 1927, realizing that our days are becoming numbered in this famous institution of learning, Coopersville High School, County of Ottawa, State of Michigan, and having success- fully scaled the highest rungs of the ladder, through the designing and artful assistance of the Faculty, and in view of the fact that we are fast becoming shades of the departed, and moved by a desire to make a fair and equal distribution of our most treasured possessions, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testa- ment, and declare all former documents to that end null and void. To the Faculty we bequeath all the foolishness of the Senior Class, our trials and tribulations, our History arguments, our Chemistry odors, our English discussions, and our best wishes for the future. To the undergraduates, we bequeath the unrestricted use of the school building with all its equipment. To the athletically inclined students of Coopersville High School, we leave all our unanswered prayers for a new “Gymna- sium.” Being of a charitable nature, we dispose of our personal pos- sessions as follows: I, Roger Bennett, bequeath my position as favorite with Miss Hayes to Maurice Haas, hoping that his ability to laugh, long and loudly, may equal mine.

I, Audry Grieve, wish to make it known that I have given a certain Harold Westover to a Miss Nettie Thompson, until the exertions of graduation are over. 1, Wayne Lubben, bequeath my bashfulness to Clarence Bush- nell. I think he may have greater use for it than 1. I, Jeanette Kraai, bequeath my desire to become the Senior Class president’s wife to Gretchen Omlor. I, Orus Shook, bequeath my latest book on “How to Concen- trate to Maynard Lubben. For best results read continually.

Page Thirty-Four [bop£K ii gfltii Class Poem OUR VOYAGE Drifting slowly in the twilight Just as evening shadows fall, While the sun sinks slowly westward We send out our “Farewell-’ call. Our High School days are ended: So swiftly have they flown. We are starting life’s long voyage To sail a sea unknown. Thinking of our chain of friends Which we gained at C. H. S., We’ll pray for winds to guide us To the Harbor of Success. We'll conquer the waves of danger Striving always to do our best; And life's long voyage over; We’ll anchor at the “Isle of Rest.” E. S. Page Thirty-Five popery ville jJjrh SchH Salutatory WHAT! HO! the time has come, the time of reminiscences, and the time of looking forward and propheeving about the future. When we began High School, Commencement was a vague, far-away reality. The newness and strangeness of High School awed us. As the weeks passed, we became acquainted and gradually we felt that we were a part of the High School. 'e began to acquire new habits and ideas. Our future destinies were greatly de- termined during our High School career. As we arrived nearer to Commencement, we began to think about our life’s work. There are many avenues open during this age of specialization and we weigh this one with that one until finally we have eliminated all but one or two. We set our mind on one of these for a time, then it is discarded, and another put in its place. Some have thought little about the future; they were either too busy or did not care, but a few will follow their chosen path to the top. We have been wandering long enough. Why not go at it in a business like way? I.et us dig deep into the innermost recesses of our minds, take an inventory, tabulate the findings, and make the most of them. Let us show the world that we are worthv of their respect and admiration. Our hopes are high, we are confident of making our mark. The habits formed during our adolescence will help to determine our future. If the habits were bad, we will soon be weeded out to make room for the ones with a firmer foundation. What will be our goal? Will it be so low as to be negligible or will it be the acme in life? Undoubtedly some of us will immediately set out to seek our fortune, and the rest will continue the insistent pursuance of knowledge. Success—that indescribable something that everyone wants, how will each get it? Surely not be vainly groping in the dark. It is too elusive to be captured in that manner. A previously thought out method of attack will have to be followed until success is reached. We are entering life at another angle. We have new things to learn. As time passes, we w ill meet strange things and have many queer experiences. 1 low much we would give, if we could but see our class twenty years from today. Probably the hardships and suffering endured by some will have left its mark on our group. Who knows we might have a president in our ranks. Sach things do happen. When we are old and incapable, we can look back over our past life and see whether we have been a success in the true sense of the word. Many will have unconsciously been seccessful by their kind words and deeds. We are not carpenters, but we can build character. We have as good material as others. Why not be master builders, and include all the fine points that make character great? Tonight is the end of one step of life and the beginning of another. Let us enter with our heads held high and a look in our eyes that says, “come on life, we are ready to meet you half way.” “Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? Oh, a trouble’s a ton, or a trouble’s an ounce. Or a trouble is what you make it. And it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt that counts. But only how did you take it? You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what’s that? Come up with a smiling face. It’s nothing against you to fall down flat. But to lie there — that’s disgrace. The harder you’re thrown, why the higher you bounce; Be proud of your blackened eye! It isn't the fact that you’re licked that counts: It’s how did you fight and why? And though you be done to death, what then? If you battled the best you could; If you played your part in the world of men. Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce. And whether he’s slow or spry. It isn’t the fact that you’re dead that counts. But only, how did you die?.’ V.V. L. Page Thirty-Six • rp p mvflfo }]jgj) $c||p Valedictory TO E ERYONE gathered liere this evening we give thanks —thanks for the sacrifices of our parents, for the support of our friends, and for the help of our teachers. In the preamble of the Northwest Territorial Act of one hundred and forty years ago, we read: “Religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happi- ness of mankind, schools shall be forever encouraged.” With this as an illustration of the ideals of our forefathers, it is natural that our country has progressed. We are brought to realize that the aim of education is not elliciency alone, but the development of man’s ideal nature. President Coolidge has declared: “We do not need more national development, we need more spiritual development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character.” T his shows that government, education and religion are closely related to the stability of a nation. As high school students, we are mostly concerned with education, which gives an efficient preparation for a life of service. We want to be useful Americans to our community, to our nation and to the world. Like Abraham Lincoln, we may say: “I will study and get ready, and some day my chance will come.” This distinguished man illustrated that the secret of true greatness is diligence in all things. He proved that in addition to talent and worth, doing little things well counts toward distinction, for the trust of others is the reward of faith- fulness. Today the high school exerts vast inllueneein the community it serves and is, in turn, subject to demands on the part of its patrons. Modern education has marked the way to higher civic ideals and, as a result, the community turns to its schools for leadership. For example, in the book: “Who’s Who in America”, for the year 1925, the high schools are accredited with 1,182 famous graduates. Community relations, on the other hand, also inlluence the student. H is environment is the back ground of his education. 11 is development depends on habits of living as well as on habits of thinking. It seems evident that, with the co-operation of parents, the youth of today can be kept on the right paths. Education helps the student by strengthening his character, by broadening his ability of independent thinking, by teaching him how to spend his leisure time more happily and profitably, and by preparing him better to select his life work. We Seniors have much to look forward to. We must deter- mine between right and w rong and promote the spirit of liberal- page Thirty-Seven raa e'aviUe High Scfvoc ism whose root, John Moreley writes, is “respect for the dignity and worth of the individual.” The endeavor of each of us is to till his place in the world to the best of his ability. We can achieve success only by keeping our purpose in view and by taking advantage of our opportunities. May we profit by our failures. No matter how successful any member of this class may become, his achievements will be partly attributed to Coopersville High School. We hope that this commencement will especially inspire other students and arouse their determi- nation in view of the fact that “there is always a market for the best’” Although there is satisfaction in completing anything, as this time drew nearer, our joy was accompanied with sadness in the realization that our busy, yet happy, school life here is finished. But we must take courage, for, as Addison affirms; “New occassions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast of truth.” Our days of pleasant anticipation for commencement are over. Graduation sets before us the duty of service, for which our school work is a foundation. As we leave our Alma Mater and attempt to realize our ambition “Onward, Upward Till the Goal we Reach,” the Class of 1927 bids you all Farewell. I. S. Page Thirty-Eight JUNIORS Page Thirty-Nine Fage Forty £aopwjville f-figh $ehoa Junior Class AT the beginning of our Junior year, forty-one students signed the enrollment blanks. Three of that number have left us. Both boys and girls have taken an active part in Athletics. The girl’s basket ball captain, Marguerite Fonger and Lewis Albrecht, captain of the football team, are members of our class. The “Pirates Den ”, which benefited the Athletic Associa- tion, was given on October 27. Everyone enjoyed meeting the pirates at their “rendez-vous”. The adventurers also met “Captain Kidd”. A Lyceum number was sponsored by the Juniors. “Cyclone Sally”, the Junior play which was presented on March 24 and 25, proved to be a great success. Although we delighted in all these things, we did not forget our social duties. A long-remembered event was the party held at Agnes Meerman’s. The evening w as spent in playing “Bunco”. We are now looking forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet. J. B. and P. H.

H. S. Since last year several of our members have failed to survive the stormy trip and hence our class this year numbers but 28. As we review this year’s experience, we remember especial- ly the party at the Legion Hall; and who can forget the Fresh- man and Sophomore Skating party? In athlelics we have had a splendid representation by both the girls and boys. We feel particularly proud in claiming Edward Lee, who was chosen to be a member of the Regional All Star team at the tournament in Grand Rapids. The Class of 1929 aims to cultivate the mental, social and athletic standards of C. H. S.

Although a few have found the road to learning too difficult; the majority are still persevering. The members of the class have entered heartily into the social and athletic activities of C. H. S. Two class parties were greatly enjoyed bv all. Three of the girls were awarded places on the Basket Ball Team as substitutes. The “Frosh” have also revealed their talents and a loyal spirit by becoming members of the Orchestra, Debating Societv and the Apache Camp Fire. To guide the ‘Treshman” through the perilous progress of their first year of High School, the following officers were elected: President, Jerome Luther; Vice-President, Harold Lawrence; Treasurer, Charles Hayes; Secretary, Esther Hay- stead; and Advisor, Miss Hayes.

Thev did much better on their own floor but it seemed to be very difficult for the team to cover all the territory when they were on the large floors of the opponent s gym. Five of the ten games were won by our girls It seems that none of our players had a permanent position- I his was due to our girls being hurt at games. All of the sub- stitutes were given a chance to play and they showed their abil- ity. Mnch of the success and credit must be given to Miss Van- Hartesveld, the coach, who was always ready with “first aid” and encouragement. It may be expected that the girls will have many victories with four regular players and three subs to make a record for next year. T he best of success is wished them by the players leaving.

The early season defeats gave Coach Dell a greater determina- tion than ever to build a winning team, and when tournament time grew near, he had moulded a quintet which marked many a good team with doom. Completing our schedule with but four defeats, we entered the District Tournament at Muskegon Heights as a dark horse. The first two nights we eliminated St. Mary’s from Muskegon and Hart, respectively. The last night we faced Shelby and after a hard, long battle, with the lead changing hands in the last minute of play, we were defeated. As the runners-up in this tournament, we entered the Grand Rapids Regional Tournament. Here we successfully shattered the hopes of Carson City and Plainwell, two strong contendeis. The finals again brought us face to face with our old opponent, Shelby. In an over-time contest and without any argument, the best and hardest fought battle of the whole tournament, they again nosed us out by a one point margin. “Tiny” Mosher, the pride of our team, was placed as a forward on the district all- star team, while Edward Lee, our star guard, landed a berth on the all-star regional team. Captain Westover received an hon- orable mention.

Not only the best team Coopersville ever turned out, but approximately the best Class “C team in the state. Critics picked us along with Shelby as the title holders. 1 wenty-five “Huskies reported at Coach Dell’s first call, and in three weeks he bin It up a team that rode rough shod to fame over all the gridirons of Western Michigan Starting the season with Fremont, last year champions, we galloped through a strenuous schedule, without tasting defeat until St. Charles, champions of Eastern Michigan, slipped a “fluke touchdown over on us in an inter-sectional post-season game. We owe our great success to the superior coaching of Dell, the “never say die” spirit of the team and to the untiring sup- port of the community. Due credit must be handed to the reserves, for, without them, success would have been impossible. We wish Coach Dell great success with the seven men re- turning next year with which to build up another champion- ship team. Date Played At C. H. S Sept. 18Fremont__o_ Sept. 24Lowell_o.

Paere Sixty Unawassa Camp Fire Girls The Unawassa Camp Fire group was organized under the direction of Miss Yount and Miss VanHartesveldt. The girls have shown their Camp Fire spirit through welfare work, sell- ing lunches at school and other Camp Fire activities. Boy Scouts The Boy Scout movement in Coopersville has grown rapidly since the organization two years ago. The troop now has two full patrols and a third one is being organized. The Scout Master. Mr. Veldhuis, has taken up the work splendidly and the troop shows it. Debating With Mr Veldhuis as our leader we began the year fifteen strong. We were unable to debate against other teams because of sickness and special work in our ranks. Never- theless we learned a great deal about the construction of the brief, and how to write up the topic for the debate. Page Sixty-One Girls Glee Club The Girl’s Glee Club was supervised by Miss Mather, the music teacher. The meet- ings of this organization are held every Wednesday after school. The Club has not pro- gressed as rapidly as it should this year, although much music has been bought. We all hope next year more girls will be interested and join our club. Orchestra After the football season was over, the orchestra was reorganized under the leader- ship of Mr. Dell. It met every Monday afternoon at four o’clock. Mr. Dell sent for new books with many lively pieces in them. The orchestra soon mastered these and proved their talent at the many entertainments where they were asked to play, notably, the Jun- ior Play and the Operetta.

Thinking deeply on some obscure subject, he unconsciously continued walking with one foot on the side-walk and the other in the gutter.

The best financial investment one can make at fourteen is going to high school. It will pay and pay liberally in increased earning power. If you know a safe investment, if you can recognize a genuine bargain, if you can even begin to reason on finance, it is easy to prove that going to high school is the best investment one can make. The following fig- ures are vouched for by the United States Bureau of Education. They are based upon the investigation of the earning power of a number of boys from the various classes at the age of twenty-five. At that age the boys who went to work at fourteen were earning on the average $12.75 per week. The boys of the same classes who took a high school course were earning at the age of twenty-five $31.00 per week. We estimate forty years as the earning period of a man’s life, that is, from the time he is twenty until he is sixty years old. Let us as- sume that, the earning power remains absolutely the same after the age of twenty-five, and then continuing fifty weeks to the year, the average boy that goes to work at fourteen will earn $25,500 in a lifetime. The average boy with a high school education will earn $02,000.00 in the same length of time. The time spent in securing a high school educa- tion is forty months. Forty months of high school study, then, will in- crease the earning power of the average boy $36,000.00. If you are a boy of average ability a high school course is worth $45.00 per day or $900.00 per month to you while going to high school. More than this, the high school course will bring out and develop your best qualities and your greatest strength. It will broaden your sympathies, sharpen your intellect, extend your mental horizon and mul- tiply your capabilities. Your fund of information gleaned from a high school course may be worth much, but the thinking power is by far the greater asset. The thinking power gained by unraveling an involved Latin sentence, twenty years later helps you to read your abstract of land title correctly. Just now the future lies before you Just now you are master of your own fate in regard to going to high school. If you fail to grasp this opportunity now, wailing ten years from now will not avail Re- grets for neglected opportunities do not pay cash dividends. Now, not later, is the seed time. As you sow, you will reap BOARD OF EDUCATION GEORGE LAUG, President J. S. SCHREUDER, Secretary DR. H. A. MUZZALL, Treasurer DR. STICKLEY L. J. SCHIPPER � � � ❖❖❖� � � � � hmj.

With- out it a business cannot sur- vive. This is why many of the graduates’ of Coopersville High School look upon this bank as one which is looking out for their best interests. You are earning your dollars by hard work but unless you are lay- ing some of those dollars aside for that inevitable “rainy day”, you are doing yourself and those de- pendent upon you an injustice. A small sum of money set aside week bv week has a surprisingly great earning power—if it is draw- ing interest. We pay interest at the rate of 4% on money deposited with us. Years of honest dealing with the people of this community have established us firmlv as an institution forever mindful of its obligations to its customers.

What is true of personal dress is true of the printed matter that represents you or your firm.
