| |igh ribaaf Class History ONWARD, upward we have struggled, and now we are near- ing the goal of graduation. ‘ Onward, Upward, Till the Goal We Win.” This thought has guided us through our High School days. 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.

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.
