We worked for many months to prepare this in advance. And we labored lengthy hours as you'll see at a glance. While life is never perfect, it iSn't always wrongg That's why this book is tuned to the happy little song: So we hope that this years Zenith, put together just for you, Will carry our best wishes and much enjoyment too. H-Jerry Lumsdcn, '47, DEDICATION Music Speaks! HI am powerful, dynamic. and can move the hardest hearts to realize love and understand- ing, 'Throughout the ages I have 'been a divine blessing to man -to inspire him, to bring him peace in time of strife. to give him courage, hope and love. Because I am the only language which is understood and enjoyed by everyone. I can lead men toward hap- piness and mutual understanding. I create in the soul a desire for that which is really worth while in this life. Some one has said of me. 'Music is the only art of Heaven given to man, the only art of earth we take to Heavenf' It is to this ennolbling and inspiring art that the Senior Class of '47 wishes to dedicate this annual. We hope that its language, universal in appeal. will be instrumental in cementing a friendship among peo- ple and nations that will lead to world brotherhood and peace. First Row: D. Meerman, M.

Before long we ceased getting lost in the halls and entering the wrong classes at the wrong hour and began feeling that we actually belonged at C. H. S.

Myrna Lachmann Back to school again for our Sophomore year, we were a little more sure of our- selves and could afford to laugh at some of the Freshman mistakes.

L i ndsay Bartholomew Another vacation slipped by and we returned as Juniors, looking anxiously ahead to a busy year. Our student mixer was one of the most successful parties of the season, and our play, Western Union Please , brought in an all-time high as to proceeds. The climaxing event of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet, revolved around a Dutch theme, and was a marked success. Our class ofiicers for this year were as follows: President . ...... ,......... ........... O w en Taylor Vice-President ...... . .... . Don Vannatter Secretary ............ ...... L uella Rozeboom Treasurer .......... .. ..... . ................ ................ . Mona Gordon At last the year of all years arrived, and we became Seniors, planning for the time when we would receive our much-cherished diplomas. We elected our class officers, who were: President .. ..... .. ........ Deane Hanson Vice-President .... . .. Don Vannatter Secretary . .,... ...... ........ J o an Crouse Treasurer ..... . . ..... .. .... ,, .......... .....,. . Delores Frost The big class party, the Senior play- Come Rain or Shine , the trip to Chicago, Baccalaureate, and finally,-that long-awaited day of graduation, were highlights of the year. As we look back now, it is hard to realize that we have passed through the doors of C'ville High for the last time as students. Though we leave our Alma Mater, and face the future with varying emotions and separate interests we will always be united by a common bond-C. H. S. Alumni of the Class of '47. -Lindsay Bartholomew. Tuned to the Futu1'e--- Ten Team Hence 1957! Ten years since the class of sixty-four members graduated from Coopersville High School on that memorable day, June 6, 1947. During this intervening time, they have travelled divergent roads, but today they all follow a common path leading to Coopersville to attend the ten-year reunion of the class of '47. One by one, and by groups, they are gradually streaming into the colorfully decorated high school audi- torium. The setting for the occasion is very informal. Tables and chairs are placed conveniently for get-to- gether chats and reminiscing conversations. Being a 1947 alumnus, I am naturally very much interested in the various achievements of my old class- mates. At first glance I see two distinguished young ladies-Norma Kirkbride and Ollene Shears. As you are all aware, Miss Kirkbride has just finished her new book, The Red Robe, which is bound for the list of best-sellers. It is being printed by the Easterly and Zylstra Publishing Company, a million dollar concern. Miss Shears is a nationally known pianist and is at pre sent playing with the Chicago World Symphony. Standing nearby, is the well recognized specialist, Dr. Fred Schmidt, who has discovered a new formula for the prevention of ingrown toenails. Chatting with him are Merlin Shears, editor of the Maytown Chron- icle, and Mona Gordon, a successful chicken rancher. Sitting all alone is the coach of the year, Don Vannatter, whose team recently lost the national Ping- Pong playoffs. He is in a bad mood and sneers at everybody. A momentary silence and the multi-millionaire, Frank Vander Laan, enters. Mr. Vander Laan's income tax was computed by Sprik, Hall, and Hanson, Lawyers, Inc., whose offices are located in a newly-constructed edifice, built in honor of Bruce Cook, prominent leader in civic affairs. The architectural firm of Carlson, Dodd and Buway designed this modern stru:ture. Turning to my left, I notice two expert beauticians, Polly Frost and Joan Crouse. These women have a technique that speaks of perpetual youth. Talking to them is Wanda Bennett, first woman prize-fiight an- nouncer in the United States. Close to them are Lila Vander Laan and Thurlene Dracht, members of the Detroit Amazons in the Women's Professional Basketball League. Ah! The music starts. Don Sessions and his Cornhuskers swing into action with Ted Schipper as the crooner. Next to Crosby, who still holds on, Schipper is the 'number one Swoon Crooner. The noted inventor, Harry Styburski, has entered. His newest invention is a snow plow that will move the snow and straighten the mail boxes at the same tim e. He is accompanied by those two irresistible play-boys, GleInrbLCaug and Don Schmelling, who have returned from a worldwide tour with their pilot companion, Ken- net e an. Kenneth Ludema and Willis Meyer, co-owners of the new Ludemeyer Automobile Corporation, have arrived. With them is their mechanical engineer, Vernon Averill. The 1947 grads are now pouring in fast. In one group is Jerry Lumsden, who has the honor of being 'the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby. Sitting with her are Stella Burgtorf-accomplished dress designer, Shirley Dennis-a woman lawyer, and Ruth Hecksel--a laboratory technician. Others in this company are Audrey McCarthy, world champion swimmer, who recently swam the English Channel, and Louella Rozeboom -famous social worker, who has reformed several prisons. Doris Laarman and Marjorie Breen have come up on the scene. These women are models for the clothes designed by Sharon Bouchard and Bernardean Baldus-nationally known stylists. Professors Bartholomew and Sutton have taken a table with Don O'Brien, manager of the Buffalo Orioles. and Jim Drake, track star. Professor Bartholomew and Professor Sutton have been on an expedition to Africa in search of geological specimens. Pausing to talk with them, are Laverne Anderson, a skillful taxidermist, and Jack Butts, a conservation ofiicer from the State Department. Here come those two widely known foreign correspondents, Charles Chuck Cushway and Frank Beef Garzellom. These men have been in every country in the world, but have returned to Coopersville for this special event. Following them we see Willis Bouwkamp, owner of Michigan's largest dairy farm. We-'ve received some bad news, however. Loren Hard has had some car trouble and will be unable to attend. This is especially disappointing since we looked forward to Loren telling us about his big game hunts in rica. At a small table over in the corner are two society leaders, Dorothy Meerman and Dorothy Wezeman. They are chatting feverishly-probably discussing a forthcoming social event. Now Reverend Melvin Breen appears, followed by John DeMott, a western cattle rancher, and Don Schippers, national motor-cycle champion. Bernice Buway and Rita Gavin have taken seats with them. These women excel as traveling saleswomen. Among their many articles they represent are BuWay's magic can-open- ers and Gavin's super deluxe arch supporters. There is a great commotion as a Hollywood actress, Donna Sheridan, and her make-up artists, Lois and Maxine Lambers, enter. They are being interviewed by reporters, Angeline Lintjer and Geraldine 1 ips. Suddenly all eyes are turned toward the doorway as many cheers welcome Jack Aney, Governor of the State of Michigan. After the excitement and confusion of voices subside, everyone settles down to partake of luscious re- freshments and to recall many happy days spent on the campus of their Alma Mater, Coopersville High School. -Owen Taylor.

The club held a community banquet which all the boys helped to make a success. We went on a tour through the Hamilton Co-Op to find out just how this type of organization works. The F. F. A. basketball team played five games this year. The top ten boys went on a trip last spring as a prize for achievement during the year of 1945-46. Similar plans were made again for this year.

BV the end' of the sec- ond week the starting line-up began to take shape. A The Green and White eleven traveled to Sparta for the first game of the veal' Coopersville led 7-0 at half time, but faltered in the second half, and dropped the opener. 19-7. The Broncos reached a near climax late in the season by holding the previously b un eaten and unscored-upon Hudsonville to a narrow 7-6 victory. The 1946 Broncos finished the season with a three-won and four-lost record. The highlights of the season came in the final game when the Broncos upset the heretofore unbeaten St. Mary's of Muskegon 13-6. Don Vannatter was elected honorary captain for the year by the letter winners. Vannatter and Andy Pamer were placed on the Ken-Owa All-League Team. The letter winners were as follows: Seniors Marv DeMeester Don Vannatter Don Reitsma Frank VanderLaan Frank Colegrove Willis Meyer Andy Pamer Ken DeCan Sophomores: Frank Garzelloni Lloyd Titus Bill Sutton Jerry Sessions Don Sessions Frank Danenberg Juniors: Dick Snyder Roger Holmes Roy Ham Roger Laug Football Referee! From the boys whose pictures appear below, together with others, will come the nucleus of the 1947 Coopersville football team. The entire reserve squad was not present when the picture was taken. It is to the Second Team that much credit should go for the success of the Var- sity Eleven. Their presence at practice every night enabled the Varsity to run plays against a worthy opponent. Many of the players that served as reserves in 1946 will find places on the Varsity in 1947. Unsung, not glorified, but an asset to a winning football eleven-this is the tribute to the members of the reserve football squad. I 1 I 1 First Row: G. Drake, P. Metzler, W. Czinder. Second Row: B.

It was close and things looked bad but C'ville pulls through with two victories over Whitehall. The alumni girls are too much for our team, but the varsity boys keep up their good name. A large crowd brings in much money for the Red Cross. Our team plays only one game in the tournaments but they put up a battle. We are very pleased with the entertain- ment given by the Western College choir. The Irish all wear green. Rip Van Winkle has a long sleep. Everyone turns out in their old clothes for the 'Hard Times party sponsored by the orchestra. We get away from the usual grind with a vacation. The athletes hold a banquet to receive their honors. Game with Comstock called off-April showers. 16-17. The seniors show their dramatic abil- ity by producing Come Rain or Shine. 18. This time the game with Cedar is stop- ped by snow. 22. 25. 29. 2. 6. 9. 13. Game with Zeeland. We hold our breath but the team comes out on top 2 to 1. Baseball-Sand Lake here.
