CLASS HISTORY Wav back in the fall of 1936, sixty-four green little Freshmen started an eventful school career by constituting the largest class in the school’s history. Russell Lillie was very active in football and began his excellent record by winning a letter. We took an active part in Hi- Y, Glee Club, Scouting and Declamation. We had a clever Hallowe’en party in the attic of the home of Marian Dornbos. After our vacation had flown by, we again assembled in the halls of learning. Andrew Yeldhuis was a member of the debate team and three of our number won letters on the football team. We had one party and a weenie roast. Thus time hurried on and another year found us in the exalted state of Juniors. Re-in- forced by new members from Allendale, Canklin, Nunica and Lament, we had the laigest rep- resentation in athletics, both boys and girls. Two of our class took part in the A. A. play and we also had an excellent class play. We had one party and a weenie roast, and were the first to sponsor an all-school party in the history of the school. We had an active part in the naming of our athletic teams. We feted the Seniors with an Hawiian Banquet, which bade farewell to them as a class, and after the rush of semester exams and commencement, we dis- banded again for vacation. Our dignity had now reached its height for we looked out on the world as Seniors! With a great many out for football, basketball, baseball and track, we played an important part in athletics Our revival of the carnivals, “The Fun Fiesta’ was very successful. In the spring the class play was given and our school annual was published. Our social activities consisted of the sponsorship of another all school party and a Valentine party. Now, as graduation draws near, we look back upon our four years of high school with all their happy memories, as having been successful and trust that through the untiring efforts of our teachers, we have been better fitted to do our small part to make this world a better place to live in.

CLASS PROPHECY As I was sitting in my information booth at the Grand Rapids World’s Fair of 1959, my thoughts wandered to my old home town of Coopersville, the suburb of Grand Rapids. I was interrupted by an early comer who wanted to know' w here the Heinz 57 Variety display was. As I proceded to inform him, it dawned on me that he was |av Quick. Immediately we began reminiscing to the days when we were Hipping around Coopersville and attending High School. Jay said that he and Allan Hard were the head bookkeepers for the Coopersville Canning Fac- tory. Glenn Vissers owned the factory and his wife, the former Florence WieJenga, was the leader of the Coopersville socialites. The beautiful sub-deb daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Baldus, Mrs. Baldus being the former Miss Louise Marshall, was throwing a gala affair in honor of the daughter of Don Hinkel. Mr. Hinkel was the owner of the Wool worth building, situated on the corner of Eastmanville and Lincoln streets, across from the Coopersville General Hos- pital. And here comes the Rev. Russell Lillie, D. D., inquiring foi the Theological building. Rev. Lillie’s features hadn't changed much, so I recognized him immediately. In passing he mentioned that he was on a drive to abolish the night club proprieted by Simon Lindberg. The main features of the follies of the night club were the dancing team, Helen Howard and Emerson Old. The air-minded Calvin Hillman is the main attraction at the Aeronautical Building. He just returned from his expedition to Mars. Here come two spinsters merrily breezing up to the Information Buerau wanting to know where the Home Economics Building is situated. They are none other than the successful dieticians of the Pantlind and Rowe Hotels. Hazel Scott and Ethel Porter. I learned from them that I)r. Kenneth Albrecht was the head physician of the Butterworth Hospital. In the hospital Orville and George Ryder are suffering minor injuries from an accident that occurred t when they Hew to the World's Fair in their Autogiro, which came down very unexpectedly. I hey told me that Ray Dejonge was Michigan's Huey l ong, and that Marie Westrate was earning a tidy sum warbling over the radio. Joe Brown is understudying Joe E. Brm n, fam- ous comedian, and is married to the former Clara Esther. Hazel and Emily are now leaving to get new ideas on food. I he Billy Robbins Taxi-Cab Company is carrying a load of people to the Information Bureau now. 1 am surprised to learn that they are Betty Aurich, a nurse, Katherine Busman, a secretary and June Denhof, out of a position at present. They want to know what picture is showing at the Century 'I heatre. It’s “Cowhands From Small Town”, starring Earl Eaug and Rosalyn (dace. '1 he ushers in the theatre are Frances Roth and Ethel Werlev. I will now turn the Information Bureau over to my trusted secretary, Nellie Van Win- gerden, while I wander around town. First of all, I want a date, so I'll go over to the Kelly Bros. Date Bureau and make my reservation. On my way to the Bureau 1 met Mary Meindertsma and Eena |ane Stroven, each with a baby buggy and several small children. They have an orphanage in the suburbs of Grand Rap- ids. I stopped a moment to talk with them and one of the cutest children was the youngest daughter of the former Madeline Hastings, now married to a successful Grand Haven account- ant. They left their youngest child with Lena Jane and Mary, and took the other six to Eur- ope with them. On their wav to Europe they were stopping off in England to visit Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ahrens. Mrs. Ahrens is the former Mary Jane Arnold. Mary told me that Mr. and Mrs. Robert Irwin were missionaries in China. Mrs. Irwin you will remember as Treone Kregel. I went from there to the telephone office to make a special call to Betty Dinkel, happily married, for a tea at her tearoom, and who should I meet but Leona Hecksel as a telephone operator. She tells me that Buck croons in Fred Witcop's swing band. They played at the Ice Exhibition last night and Jay Porter and Anita Fairchild was the famous skating team which was the main feature of the show. I bought a newspaper from a little boy whose name on his cap was Albert Gregel, Jr. I guessed who his father was but asked him what his mother's name was. He promptly replied that it was Lorraine Parish. 1 turned to the sport page first, and there was a picture of a box- ing knockout in which Luke Turner, flyweight, defeated Ben Venema. In the comic section, 1 heo. Putman’s “Skeeter, the Skunk” was receiving a great deal of praise from the light-headed aristocrats. Finally I reached the Date Bureau. Grand Rapids’playboy, Bob Conley, was booked by Doris Sellon, Kelly’s capable and adorable little stenographer, to Eloise I.aarma'n for every night of the next three weeks. I managed to get a date with the dashing voung Romeo, Laurence Wisneske. Ace Kelly, the young proprietor, tells me that Henry Kloosterhouse was for the second time married to a widow with six children. The widow was none other than our High School Days’ Harriet Scott. Henry had five children of his own from his former marriage. Jim Bouwkamp and Delia Stehouwer, after romancing for eight years, were married by the Reverend Russell Lillie, D. D. Norma Bartholomew's Greenhouse furnished the flowers for the affair. As I was walking back to my Information Bureau who should 1 see at the booth but a handsome young farmer. It was Bill Fairchild. I gathered from his conversation that he was happily married to Lillian Pylman. Bill wanted to know where the Shrine Circus was. He said the wife anil kids wanted to see Mary Jean Creager swinging from the trapeze. I oday I have been very fortunate in encountering acquaintances made at Coopersville High School. .And now 1 leave you with the expectation of meeting again.

The band has furnished music at the athletic contests and special programs, while the orchestra has been called upon to play for several occasions during the school year. These two organizations are of great value to our school. The student who learns to play an instrument learns discipline, co-operation with others and a new way to a fuller, richer life. Playing an in- strument gives the student a worthwhile school activity and it gives him some- thing interesting and pleasurable to do during his leisure time. Music is one of the innovations in education that is doing much to fulfill the aims and the ideals of progresssve educators. Anyone who might attend a concert or re- hearsal cannot help but realize that music is one of God’s given gifts and that any effort put forth to allow more of the younger generation to take part in this field of education is well worth while.

JOURNALISM With the best wishes and highest hopes for the future of the ‘ School Paper”, the Seniors on the staff, namely: Eloise Laarman, Petty Dinkel, Asa Kelly, Mary Meindertsma and myself, to mention but a few, reluctantly sur- render the paper to the control of its successors. The harmonious manner in which those on the School Paper staff this year have worked together with the single purpose in view of promoting the success of the paper, has been the chief means of bringing about the desired re- sult. The paper has shown not only a marked increase in both quantity and quality of the literary departments, but has, in addition, become more than e er a complete record of school organization and current events. The culmination of the efforts of the staff is seen in the editing of this paper, which, (its purpose to give a general summary of each month or the school year) is the second an- nual paper published in this school.

Since no one is fully educated without adequate moral training, this course serves as an essential complement to the aquisition of knowledge. The aim is to assist in character building and to guide the student into a fuller appreciation of the finer things in lile. A strong body and well de- veloped mind are numt desirable, but only as the soul is awakened unto spirit- ual realities does an education become full and complete. JOHN H.

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized not only to better enable the mem- bers to portray characters in plays, but also to give us social poise and general confidence. Other aims of the club are to develop speech ability through voice training; to develop an understanding of characters and abstract ideas; and to enable us to express our ideas through visible action. Student directors and prompters who had had experience in the club last year were appointed throughout the year to give them the worth-while ex- perience of assisting in the various dramatic activities of the club. Among the plays that were presented by the club this year were; Thanks Awfully,” “Wanted—A Capable Stenographer,” “Where’s Elmer?” “The Treas- ure Chest and Belle and Bill.” The officers of the club were: President________________ Vice-President___________ Secretary________________ Treasurer________________ Director_________________ ..Raymond Dejonge _______Harold Klatt _______Jerry Mosher _____Clifford I.ieffers ______Mrs. Altenburg JERRY MOSHER First Row—H.

Although this is the second year of basketball in this school and the sec- ond year they have failed to win a game, the team does show a great deal of improvement. Here’s hoping that iri the years to come the basketball team of Coopers- ville will take the trophy of the Tournament. We can say that in the two years of playing, the second team has won a few games, and hope they keep up the good work. 1 hey also have shown a great deal of improvement and we give them credit for it. We surely do hope that in the future there will be a great inter- est in this “winter sport” of basketball. First Row —D. Waite, G Beach, G. Bruggers, D. Lietz, H. From- holz. Second Row—b. Turner.

Last year Coopersville turned out a championship team of baseball players. And we hope that this year brings forth some of the players that were on the team last year and some new players that will qualify to take the posi- tion of some of the players that were lost last year. We know that under the supervision of Coach, Mr. Laughlin, we will have a good pitching staff and a lot of support of the other platers. Here’s a lot of good wishes to the team of 1939.

And also that we have some very outstanding athletes who will carry on this year as they have done in the past three years. As the track team is under the supervision of Mr. Hotaling, we hope thev bring home the trophy this year as it has in the past years. Here’s luck!

VERSLU1S STUDIO Grand Rapids, Michigan ' : 47 Monroe Ave. ' ' ' ' ' HUMOR Traffic Cop: Say lady, do you know how to drive? Anita F.: O, yes. What is it you want to know? Did you say Harriett Scott was a good Chemistry student? I should say; why she has the acids eat- ing right out of her hands. Margaret P.: But will you love me in cold December as you do in balmy June? Floyd B.: More, darling. Margaret: More? Floyd: Yes, there’s one more day in De- cember.. Mr. Van Raalte: Does the moon affect the tide? Jr. Kelly: No, the untied. Johanna once remarked to her teacher. “I was so surprised when I was born, I didn’t say anything for a year.” Paul M.: I got sad news. My dog died last night. Bill R.: What did it do, swallow a tape line and die by the inches or did it run up the alley and die by the yard? Paul: Naw, it crawled under the bed and died by the foot. Miss Prolo (in English class): Can you give me a sentence containing the word ‘“boy-cott”? Eugene Gavin: The boy-cott the girl by the hair. Betty D.: Have you read “Freckles” yet? Rosie G.: No, mine are brown. Mrs. Altenburg: When was the War of 1812? Marjorie I : I don’t know. I've been studying up for tomorrow’s test end I can’t find it anywhere. Dr. Owl says: “The rest of our days de- pend upon the rest of our nights.” And then there’s the one about the Scotchman who built an apartment but wouldn’t build any fire escape ’cause it was leap yecr. The Cry of the Fresh I’d like to be a Senior Like those of whom I read— A fountain pen behind my ear, And nothing in my head. I would not be an emperor, I would not be a king; I’d rather be a Senior And never do a thing. Juniors’ Lament When we were Sophomores We thought that we were smart, We know our Geometry All by herrt. But now that we are Juniors, We aren’t quite so bright; We struggle with our Caesar Night after night. Chemistry and English! There’s none so hard a$ these. But next year we’ll be Seniors, And do just as we please. HUMOR Little Sister: Do you know what I’m thinking of? Eloise L.: No, what is it? Little Sister: “I am thinking,” said she, “that if I were not in the room your beau would kiss you.” Eloise L.: “You impudent girl, leave the room at once.” Mr. Mahaffey: Bill, don’t sit in your shirtsleeves or you will crtch cold. Bill F.: How can I sit in my shirtsleeves? Considering how much the bell knows, it is wonderful how much it has tolled. Is “stealing a march” worse than tak- ing a walk? What’s the use of a seat of war to a standing army? A round sum—A penny. A buy word—How much? death blow—A cyclone. Mr. Van Raalte: “What are you late gain for?” Nellie Van Wingerden: “For school, sir.” nm tmi Compliments of Dykstra Elevator Feed Seeds Fertilizer Custom Grinding and Milling Conklin, Michigan The Knowledge and Experience of this Bank are at your service Your Best Recommendation A Bank Account SAFETY - SERVICE - COURTESY Coopersville State Bank Organized in 1903 TRUMAN H.
