Building This building was the first home of the Coopersville High School. Although it was only an eleven grade school it had a large attendance. It graduated its first class, two in number, in 1892. During the period 1892- 1907 a total of 156 students graduated from it. Page Six C.H.S. “The Zenith” 1937 Coopersuille rftigh School Old School Building The high school was moved to the above building in 1908. It had its first graduating class in 1909. During the period 1908 936 approximately 771 students gradu- ated from it. It is now used mainly for the lower grades. Page Seven C.H.S. “The Zenith” 1937 Present School Building The old building and the new addition now make up our present school. The new addition is used for the high school classes and its first graduating class, numbering forty-seven, will graduate in June of this year. 1 his adding of more room has enabled the school to have a wider cur- riculum, such as the Smith-Hughes Department Home Economics and the new auditorium, which can be used for social gatherings. Page Eight C.H.S. “The Zenith” 1937 Faculty Roundup” Our German taught with doubtless skill, By our superintendent Veldhuis. A pleasant class is spent each day, Which, indeed, we think is nice. Mr. Brevitz for Mathematics, And you surely can guess why? He'll always help you when he can, To find results of X plus Y. Mr. Meyer, of the faculty, Has earned his word of praise. He teaches things most useful Throughout life’s trying days. Miss Adams, indeed, is successful In teaching how to sew, And also how to cook a meal That makes you want to crow. Mr. Laug, our History teacher, With several duties on his hands, Can make his work more pleasant, Just to tell of different lands. Bookkeeping and typing, And Shorthand, too, as well. Keep Mrs. Kern so busy She hardly has a breathing spell. Mr. VanRaalte with his Chemistry, Is really not so slow. He can tell you in a second, What he means by H2O1. English Lit and Modern History, Are taught to all us folk In Miss Streeter’s pleasant manner, Which certainly is no joke. Miss Brockmeier and her Latin Is very well indeed, And quotes “experientia docet” As each one finds, who is in need. Page Ten C.H.S. “The Zenith” 1937 Mr. C. Veldhuis, M. A.

What a hustle and bustle to see the interior of the new building. Don’t step on the Freshies! 16 Come on, students! Get out and get those subscriptions. Magazine Drive begins today 21 Hurrah, Typers! Get those fingers moving on those six new typewriters. Work is pleasure now. 21 Laugh! Did we ever. A donkey baseball game here at school! Some of the boys got kicked around, but nothing stops the boys from C. H. S. 23 The fun is ended, all subscriptions are turned in and Mr. Van Raalte’s team got first place. Work harder next time, losers! We didn’t weep though! 25 Talk about pep! We had it today in our first Pep Meeting of the coming season of glory, we think! 25 First football game of the season was held at Caledonia. Our courage and determination is doubled now that we lost, 6-7. Will we fight! 28 The promised Ice-Cream Party has arrived. Cones were supplied to the “little kids’’ while we grown-ups watched them eat. You know how children are. They must have something to suck on! October 2 Did we ever see a Pep Meeting without pep? Not us! We know how to yell! Ask the kids in the grades. 2 Our first home game of the season and what honor! 25-0 in favor of our team, of course! Better luck next time, Hudsonville! 9 Pep Meeting with plenty of pep to cheer our fellows on to Sparta and victory! 7-0 in favor of our favorite team. We had high hopes and they didn’t fail us! 15 The first real fun of the year has arrived in the form of six weeks exams. Big, broad smiles are seen in all corners while students wait patiently for the opportunity to let the teachers know they are bright! 16 Now that exams are over some celebration is necessary. Down to Comstock Park go our team, full of confidence and ready to fight for their beloved school. Victory? We can tell you! 13-0 is the score, achieved by our team and C’ville rooters! 21 Are you happy? Of course! I have a report card to be proud of! Come on and let me see you smile! Not so good, I take it? You have 12 more weeks to bring that mark up to an A. Let’s see you do it! 21 Report cards always call for a celebration so we chose to fight against Zeeland. Better fighting never took place, we assure you, but all glory can’t come to our school. They skin- ned us 6-14, but wait until next year! Page Fourteen “The Zenith” 1937 C.H.S.

Page Twenty-Three SALUTATORY Parents, teachers and friends: We have reached the first milestone of our lives, and are glad to see so many of you at our last and 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 haopy 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 own efforts, 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 and strug- gling, but still enjoying. We have worked together, making the best of difficulties and enjoying 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 possible forgotten and to some of us perhaps this may mean a farewell forever. So, it is with our hearts filled with gratitude and regret that we leave dear old Coopersville High School—regret that we are to sever the ties of school life, and gratitude to the faculty, who, by efficient training, have guided us toward one of the happiest days of our life, our Graduation Day. All of these bright sunny days will soon be but mem- ories. It is little wonder then that a tinge of sadness is blended with the color of our Farewell.” We have built our ships of life, each to our own model and from our own material. What our future life is to be depends entirely upon the way 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 Ships that Never Return. Others nay sail into unknown waters and discover new lands of Advancement and Opportunity. What battles and victories we win on our voyage, time alone will tell. With good reason and the help of God we shall yet conquer the mac waves. ieeping these few things in mind, let us note that The door to success is labeled ’push . Let us follow that simple but significant motto. John Maka Page Twenty Four VALEDICTORY The Challenge to Youth hen we look about us and take note of the various problens the world presents, we sometimes wonder whether man is not the victim of circumstance. Let us remember in this connection the words of the poet, I am the captain of my soul, I am the master of my fate.” One of the most serious problems with which mankind has had to deal from the earliest stages of civilization is war. In Europe during the Dark Ages there was constant warfare averageing four wars a year. But even after a higher state of civilization was reached Europe still saw no end to war. The full realization of the results of war causes us to wonder why was is so popular. But let us not be deceived into thinking that only Europe has been cursed with was for this peace-loving nation of America has already participated in seven wars, causing each generation to go through this terrible trial. The outbreak of the World War caused the world to rea- lize that all former methods of gaining peace had failed. Therefore the League of Nations and other organizations were formed to aid in maintaining world-wide and lasting peace. In spite of these efforts for peace we are again threatend with war. We cannot help but be alarmed by the state of affairs in Europe. Our attention is kept on the civil war in Spain and the desire of Japan, Italy and Ger- many to increase their territories and power, for if these nations should use force to obtain their wish serious con- sequences would result and all the nations of the world might be involved. But these are not the only countries that seem to be interested in war, for the rate of military expenditures in the world today is three times as high as in 1913, the year before the World War broke out. The challenge cones to the youth of the world today— Shall such a war be re-enacted or shall we use that which we have learned by history and experience to combat these evil forces? There is a need for preventing these calami- ties as time and results have shown the futility of war. Let us correspond with the youth of other lands and Love our enemies thus having a nobler view of life. When we have done all these things, when we have re- placed our hatred and jealousy with love, when we have made peace and happiness, not wealth and power, our highest aim and ideal—then They shall beat their swords into plow- shares and their spears into pruning hooks and nation shall not lift sword against nation nor shall they learn war any more. -agues Koppenol Page Twenty Five £ rCt j'e AS£Ac4 J -£- k £A £uJ i- t iL, J Xsec . ---'----Jtu-., tidies ) e A - £ i Mx.££ ‘s z -4s tta-yaSj t£.

We’ll “rim” them next time! 20 Honor again comes to our school when the “Grain Judgers” go to Sparta. 26 and 27 A happy Thanksgiving to you all and we hope you make good use of the vacation (study). Don’t get sick! We need you here! 27 Our Debating team has been formed and what a team! Lee Street found out about that when C’ville came out ahead—4 to 0. More honor for our dear old C. H. S. December 4 Our Annual Staff members have a good time when they go to Grand Rapids to have their pictures taken. Do shows always go along with having pictures taken? They seemed to think so.

Many of them have taken up various activities of the school. Those representing us in debate are Robert Platt and John Hains, while those who played football are Hains, Hill, Platt, Snyder, Andrews, Ryder and Vissers. Many of our present Juniors are from outside schools. Five are from Al- lendale and Marne and three are from Nunica. We also have one student from Conklin who was valedictorian of the tenth grade last year. We also have one student from Wisconsin. Yes sir, these Juniors sure are a peppy bunch and why shouldn’t they be? The Junior Class of ’36 and ’37 is the largest in the history of C. H.

Keep up the good work, boys! An educational play was enjoyed by all the students today. The old story “Rip Van Win- kle” was brought back to life when clever actors favored us with their ability. Teachers must have entertainment as well as students, so Miss Whitney was hostess to our faculty at her home in Clarksville. Even Santa Claus came to see them at this early date! The Bookkeeping class have a lunch furnished by the losing half. Rapid calculation was the subject and the results were close. A little faster next time! “Drive Safely” is the motto from now on. We are endeavoring to cut down on automobile accidents over the holidays. Hurrah! A vacation so we can see Santa! Socks all ready, Freshies? He has plenty of dolls and drums! Got out at noon today in- stead of having a program. January Back at school again after a fine vacation. Everyone got lots from Santa, even the teach- ers! We see plenty of new clothes! Our new electric clocks begin to work so now you naughty kids, you’d better be careful what you say! Mr. Veldhuis can hear you! The Juniors feel another cause for celebra- tion so they again gather together at the school in a Class Party. A lovely evening was enjoyed by all. Sadness as well as gladness today when we left the old assembly where many pleasant hours were spent in study and ? ? ? ? ? All classes will be held in the new building now. We were favored by two young musicians today who were taking lessons lor a band. We have a chance to have a band in our school if enough are in favor. Come on, ayes! Here is our chance to bring more honor to our school. Our “Secret Three” again bring victory to our school when they defeat Newaygo in a won- derful score of 4-0. We didn’t know we had such talent for debating! Our “Secret Three” again bring victory and honor to our school when they defeat Neway- go in a wonderful score of 4-0.

It seems to be the favorite score of our “Secret Three.” Holland Christian High is no excep- tion when it comes to being defeated by our debaters! February 16 The P.-T. A. was held in our new gym! A very nice dinner was served and enjoyed by all who attended. 19 We had a Pep Meeting in our new gym today! We sang our School Song for the first time in a long while. No seats as yet, but standing is O. K. until everything is ready. We hope it will be soon. 19 The “Secret Three” take their stand against Middleville. March 1 The boys have their first chance at the gym and what beautiful objects they are in their suits! Not meaning to be sarcastic either— they really look nice. 2 Today our girls get into suits and try their hand at playing indoor and basketball. They are a good-looking lot and can they take ex- ercises! Not for reducing, though! 4 A peppy pep meeting for our Annual drive and Yells! Boy, can we put out a lot of noise! 4 Exams again this afternoon and how we love it! The teachers can’t remember that we knew a lot last time so they have to find out again. They ought to have a better memory. 5 Another day of proving our knowledge to the teachers and we hope they won’t bother us again for awhile! 5 Another debate and victory again for C’ville when they take their stand against Stanton. The score was 2-1. 12 Smiles broader than the ocean and brighter than the sun on the brightest day in June when we receive our report cards. How can we get out of showing them to Mother and Dad? We hate the wood-shed! 14 The boys are beginning to train for track. We are expecting an outstanding team this year. Don't disappoint us, fellows! 19 Another debate and we had to bow to Ionia with a score of 2-1. That puts us out of the Elimination Contest, but they have done great work for our school. Three Cheers for the Debating Team of 1937! 21 Can you guess? We are out for ten days of good fun, as it is Spring Vacation! Will we find any flowers? Come on Freshies!

Page Fifty-two C.H.S. “The Zenith” 1937 BIBLE STUDY Christianity is often viewed as something separate and apart from life, while in reality it is fundamental to life. The aim of the course given is to stimulate interest in re- ligious education and assist in character building. No ed- ucation is complete without the fundamenal facts of Bibical truth. The instructors endeavor ro guide the student into a fuller appreciation of the worthwhile things in life and present the claims of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of man. —Rev. Bruggers, Instructor.
