THE DEDICATION We, the class of 1950, dedicate our Zenith to a friend who has for the past two years helped and guided us through the most important part of our high school career. Mr. Robinson will be remembered as a man that has always held the happiness and welfare of his students before him in all of his plans and decisions. Mr. Robinson obtained an A. B. degree at Greenville Col- lege, studied at the University of Colorado, and received his Master’s degree at the University of Michigan. 1. Principal and coach at Ubly High School in eastern Michigan. 2. Commercial teacher and coach at Ludington High School. 3. Auditor for the Army Air Forces for one year. 4. Physical Reconditioning Instructor for two and one- half years upon being drafted. 5. Taught economics and accounting at General Motors Institute of Technology in Flint, Michigan. 6. Superintendent at Holton, Michigan for two years before coming to Coopersville. OUR LEADER SPEAKS In the dedication of Zenith yearbooks, generous recog- nition has been given in the past to superintendents and to members of the faculty. It is only fair that occasionally a number should be dedicated to the students themselves. We older members of the school community need to remem- ber that high schools are maintained solely for the purpose of educating young people for the duties of good citizen- ship. The student should be the focal element in all school activities and planning and since nearly all the material and work going into the annual is done by students, they are fully entitled to special consideration for carrying through this project of their own planning. The members of the faculty and student cabinet of the Coopersville High School wish you the greatest possible measure of success in every- thing you undertake and in the words of Sir Walter Raleigh we would say— “Bestow thy youth so that thou mayest have com- fort to remember it when it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh and grieve at account thereof. While thou art young thou wilt think it will never have an end; but the longest day hath its evening, and thou shalt enjoy it but once; it never turns again; use it there- fore as the springtime, which soon departeth, and wherein thou oughtest to plant and sow all provisions for a long and happy life.” Hail and farewell to the class of 1950. REMEMBER? Remember way back when? The first time you climbed the stairs that day, Where and when we all had to change our way. Remember way back when? Many years have passed since then, And many things we now know. Boys have found the girls and the girls—a beau. We’ve learned the problem of all men—the women. Remember way back when? When you first walked in school, Where we all were sent to learn the golden rule. Remember way back when? Remember? J. G. Frost AFTER GRADUATION You’ve had the time of your life, Now the world faces you. It’s asking you to do your share, No matter what you do. It’s time to work for the future, And use what you’ve learned in the past. ’Cause without continual practice, Your knowledge will never last. To do your best is all it asks, Which I’m sure you’ll probably do. And someday you’ll be glad you did, —When the world depends on you. —J. G. Frost i No doubt you’ve seen that genial man about school, Mr. Conran. He’s the guy that keeps you on the straight and narrow, but does it in a friendly way. He’s the gentleman who makes it a point to get to know as many of his students as possible. For the past two years he’s been principal of good old C. H. S. He graduated from Sparta High School, Western Michigan College of Education and obtained his Master’s degree at the University of Michigan. Mr. Conran has had 14 years experience of teaching and coaching. He’s just what you might call an all around fellow. You can’t help liking him once you get to know him and I know you all hope to see his sparkling blue eyes and ready smile next year. 3n Jfflemortam In memory of our classmate and friend, George Wellington Lown, who died during our senior year of school, we dedicate this page.

Like our predecessors we were lost and didn’t know which way to turn. But we soon felt that we were actually a part of C. H. S. For a good start we elected William Czinder, president; Fred Goll, vice-president; Larry Kelly, secretary; and Beverly Aney, treasurer. The highlight of the year was the “Atomic Mixup,” the all school party, sponsored by us. After the summer had ended we returned ninety-seven strong. As Sophomores we felt more sure of ourselves and could afford to laugh at some of the Freshman mistakes. Our officers of this year were John Busman, president; Clarence Beld, vice-president; Inez Allison, secretary; and Tom Murray, treasurer. For the second consecutive year we won the mazagine drive. The Sophomore party, “The Garden Frolic,” was a great success. After seeing another vacation come and go we returned as Juniors. We again chose John Busman, president; Beverly Aney, vice-president; Freda Viebrock, secre- tary; and Jocelyn Murray, treasurer. The class play, “Button, Button,” and the Junior-Senior banquet were the memorable events of the year. Once again we returned together as a class to Coopersville High School. We had attained the position of Seniors and were eager to go. After the ballots were count- ed our class officers were found to be: Nelson Clark, president; Larry Kelly, vice- president; Helen Danenberg, secretary; and Betty Barding, treasurer. The first semester revolved around the Senior pictures and the play, “The Fighting Littles.” Attending the banquet presented by the Juniors, taking the Senior trip, and gradua- tion marked the second semester. As we look back we see we have accomplished great feats but realize there is much more ahead to be conquered.

Study Hall 30 was partitioned off on the west side giving us room enough for two tables, at which the students can study, a desk for the librarians, and ample shelves for books, magazines, and newspapers. The purpose of our library is to help the students and teachers to obtain informa- tion needed in classes. Fifteen members complete the roll call. Of these fifteen, there are three in the library each hour to act as librarians. Miss Streeter has instructed us on the following: cleaning and repairing books, arranging books on the shelves according to the Dewey Decimal System, and filing material out of magazines and newspapers that will assist students in the future. Miss Streeter holds a class on Thursday afternoon, during the last hour, for half of the librarians; and the other half meet on Friday morning, during the first hour. In these classes, she gives us her opinions on our work, and we are given extra work for the following week. This extra work consists of cleaning and repairing a certain number of books, and obtaining articles for the file cabinet. Our aim is to make the library a better place for resources, not only for this year, but also in the years to come. First Row: G. Franz, B. Schilling, M. Parish, N. Taylor, J. Blankenburg, B.

As you know the band received their uniforms in the first semester. The money was raised by band members and the Parent-Teachers Music Club. During the first semester, the band was active with presentations at the football games. The first week of school the band marched and played at the Detroit Fair. During the year, several concerts were given to raise money for more uniforms and modern music. Operetta—Midvale Melodies in Picture and Dialogue WRITTEN BY VIVIAN AND RUSSELL CONRAN Produced in May, 1949 TAKE ME WITH YOU TO THE PARTY Oh! I like to go to a party I like to join in the fun; Take me with you to the party, I’ll be the jolliest one. If you are feeling romantic, After I’ve laughed at each antic; After the party is over, We’ll take our time going home. MIDVALE FIGHT SONG Fight! Midvale fight! We’ll cheer you on to victory, Fight! Midvale fight! We’ll roll the score up, one, two, three. We have the do or die, You bet we’ll keep our colors high; We have the will to win, You bet we’ll fight once we begin. Rah! Rah! Rah! Fight! Midvale fight! We’ll cheer you on to victory, M-I-D-V-A-L-E! Midvale, hail to thee! I HATE YOU CLARA Make me queen of Araby, Come to me on bended knee. Ask to have one date with me, I will say “No!”, Tell you to go! BONEY Make me King of Hindustau, Offer me your lily hand; I’d pretend to understand, Then out of spite, I’d take a bite. CLARA If you were a rare perfume And I had you in my room, Every time I sniffed fume I would say, “Phew” ’Cause I hate you. BONEY Were I doctor what’s his name, And you doubled up in pain, I’d advise more of the same, ’Cause I hate you so. CLARA BONEY Ha! Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! ALICE My, oh my! This sounds to me Not at all like flattery; He hates you and you hate him, I don’t believe it, you’re joking again. LOVE SONG My heart is singing a song To thee; The sweetest, loveliest melody, The words, “I love you, I do”. Can’t live a day without you. The time, the mellowest notes Of moonlight and roses. My heart is singing a song To thee. The sweetest, loveliest melody, Dear one, you’re sweeter Than the song in my heart. . WHY DID I COME TO COLLEGE Why did I come to college? Sure I’ve got lots to learn. I want that stuff called knowledge, They’ve got it here to burn. When I have learned my lessons I will go home and stay; The folks will be glad For the rest that they had These years I have been away. All the boys on the corner say Can’t have fun when you’re old and grey. Fun is the stuff that adds the spice, Yes, fun is the cream of life. Why did I come to college? Sure, there’s a reason why. If there were no me, think how dull It would be— That is the reason why. Why did I come to college? So much to do in life; Gotta get good at figures So I can pick a wife. Gotta get me a sheepskin So I’ll be in the “know.” I came to college For learning and such; That’s why I like it so. THERE’S A JACK FOR EVERY JENNY Pa, he always said of Ma, “Prettiest gal I ever saw. All she does is jaw and jaw.” There’s a Jack for every Jenny. Always wore the same old frock, Homely as a pickle crock; Got the best catch in the block. There’s a Jack for every Jenny. When she saw him to the door He said, “I am very poor.” She said, “Darling, say no more.” There’s a Jack for every Jenny. She got sick and went to bed, Doctor said, “Poor gal’s dead.” She got up and they were wed. There’s a Jack for every Jenny. Cheer up, sister, let’s be gay, Wish you wouldn’t act that way, He’ll show up most any day. There’s a Jack for every Jenny.

John Busman, Barbara DeMull SENIOR PLAY I On December 5th and 6th the Seniors put on the play, “The Fighting Littles,” written by Caro- j line Franke, adapted from Booth Tarkington’s novel of the same title. The play was about the Little family, with all of its members having opinions of their own. Every family in the world suffers from the misun- derstandings of two generations, but not many of j them are as explosive about their conflicts as the Littles. Each Little has his own ideas of the way life should be lived and all of them say so, except Mother Little who is too busy trying to keep the peace. Mr. Little is the head of the Little house- hold, although his daughter Goody and son Filmer 1 manage to compete with him and threaten his seniority. The fireworks began when Daddy Little finds all his daughter’s friends “young hoodlums” and Ham Ellers the “worst of the lot.” Mr. Little has his own candidate for his daughter’s affections, Norman Peel. In desperation Goody tries to fol- low her father’s advice and be the kind of daugh- ter he thinks he wants. This had very amazing results and confused everybody including Mr. Lit- tle! Through three acts the quick-tempered Littles squabbled over their way through the differences in viewpoints and ridiculous situations without even knowing how funny they were. Only when the battle royal is over do they discover that they have learned to understand each other, and Mr. Little finds that he may have been mistaken in some of his ideas. --rq n Doris Bakes, June Esther, Violet Klinge, Bill Easterly, Angeline Kraai, Freda Viebrock, Nelson Clark, Dick Kersting, Sally Mar- shall, Clarence Beld, Beverly Aney, Barbara DeMull, John Busman, Jocelyn Murray, Helen Banker. . Bill Easterly returned to play the father, al- iough the other members of the play cast were ew to the stage and made their first appearance, [rs. Little, Goody, and Filmer, were played by Dgeline Kraai, Beverly Aney and Nelson Clark ispectively. Helen Banker as Almatina and Joc- iyn Murray as Olita are the members. Business- ke Norman Peel, played by John Busman, com- ites for the hand of Goody much to the disgust ! Clem Beld, the amiable and casual Ham Ellers, he rest of the cast included Freda Viebrock, Barb eMull, Violet Klinge, Helen Danenburg, Dick Srsting, and June Esther. [The play turned out to be a big success, and ie person that deserves a lot of credit for this is iss Guillod, director of the play. Nelson Clark and Freda Viebrock Dick Kersting, Freda Viebrock and Nelson Clark Murray, Helen Banker, Easterly, Nelson Clark Junior Play The Fenwicks live in a small town. Father’s views on life fit pretty much into his confined surroundings. Mother accepts her fate, but she does want her daughter to have a little more fun out of life. The daughter, unfortunately, is frail and is treated like an invalid. She accepts her invalidism until she is dated with the most popular boy in the high school for the senior prom. The night of the prom the weather is bad but despite this the mother insists that she go, even though the father and the in-laws classify the action in the same category with murder. It is a wonderful dance but Cynthia afterwards becomes a very sick girl. The mother calls up the boy pretending she is the child speaking and asks him to come for a visit. Together they pull Cynthia through a pneumonia crisis. Junior Play The Rich Full Life was first produced by Gilbert Miller at the John Gulds Theatre in New York with Judith Evelyn and Virginia Wielder in leading roles. The first actions of the great success here at Coopersville were by Fred Bleckley playing Ricky Latham. The play was carried on from there by Thelma Sprik as Lou Fenwick, Barbara Sutton as Mother Fenwick, Marie Moelker as Carrie, Rita Reister as Cynthia, Nola Swanson as Fredonia, Carl Noe as Lawrence, Perry Mc- Lellan as Fred, and Burnyce Meyer as Miss McQuillen. The credit for the play being such a great success is given to Miss Guillod for brilliant and understanding direction. HOBO BALL The “Hobo Ball”, sponsored by the Sophomore Class, was a great success, Held October 21, 1949, in the high school gym, the party consisted of square dancing, eating, entertainment provided by Leon Hanson’s band and prizes. Miss Hawkins, their advisor, did much to make this party a success. Mr. Lambers was caller for the square dances. Capturing prizes for the corniest costumes were Miss Guillod and Chuck Westover. Chaperones were Miss Hawkins, Miss Guillod, Mr. and Mrs. Vassallo, Mr. and Mrs. Keddie, Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt and Mr. and Mrs. Layton. Tired, footsore, and full of cider and donuts, everyone agreed they had a wonderful time A. Bennett. Second Row: J. Bulh, W. Schilling. H. Jarka, B. Fredricks, J. Cook, C. Farrell, D.

A large FFA emblem is on the back and a small emblem is on the front of the jackets. The Chapter’s pig and chicken projects were improved and were successful. The boys carried out many of the plans to raise money for the chapter. The money was used to buy things needed by the chapter. A tractor is to be bought in the near future. To climax the year a banquet was held at which time the awards (scholarship, sow and calves) were given to the outstanding boys. The chapter entered in the district contests at Lowell this year. They came back with second in parliamentary procedure and third in the demonstration.

CAMERA CLUB The Coopersville High School Camera Club was organized in the spring of ’49, with Mr. Keddie as advisor. The purpose of this organization was to create new friends, to learn the democratic functioning of an organization and to learn and appreciate the fine art of photo- graphy. A constitution was drawn up by the members. The first semester meetings were held once a week and later it was decided that the meetings should be once a month. The qualifications for joining are: (a) they must be a member of Coopersville High School and in good standing. (b) they must have a camera. (c) they must have a “C” scholastic average or better. (d) they may be admitted by two-thirds majority of active members. (e) the prospective members must take, develop and print successfully eight pictures.

Some of the accomplishments of the Student Council are as follows: locker clean-ups, ushering at assemblies, house projects, photographing of the Student body, setting up of hall monitors, and starting of noon programs under the direction of Mr. Burger. Bill Ball, Mary Lee Rozeboom, Evelyn Nelson and Don Floehr went to Ann Arbor and attended a conference of Citizenship. The Student Council also sponsored Senior Day under the direction of Mr. LaDuke.

Franz, started this year’s, activities by twirling at the football games. They also attended the Band in parades that they participated in. Led by their Drum Major, Lynneth Smith, they twirled at several basket- ball games. They participated in the American Legion Show “Aunt Silly” with a twirling exhibition. Their twirling activities will close with the big Memorial Day Parade. CHORUS This year an entirely new addition was added to our music curriculum. Tenor and bass sections were added to the Glee Club to produce a mixed chorus. Under the able direction of Mr. Gerold Franz, the group, consisting of 115 voices, appeared in several outstanding performances. The Christ- mas program, the Easter cantata and the May con- cert were among the outstanding presentations. “On Calvary’s Cross” by James R. Gillette was the selection chosen by Mr. Franz for the Chorus to sing at the Easter captata. “Come to the Fair,” “Skip to My Lou,” “Villa,” and “The Parade of Wooden Soldiers” were among the more popular songs sung at the other concerts. Mr. Franz is to be congratulated on his fine selection of songs, and on his wonderful accom- plishments with this large group of voices. Boys’ Chorus First Row: B. Lessien, J. Veldman, R.

They have been an excellent example of school spirit and sportsmanship; planning pep assemblies throughout the football and basketball season and leading the cheering section at all the games. With Miss Hawkins as an advisor, a pep club was organized of twenty members, twelve students and the eight members of the cheer-leading squad. Their aim was to improve pep assemblies, originate new yells and raise money for cheerleading outfits for next year’s cheerleaders. The girls who were on the regular squad are: Joan Buway, a senior with two years of cheer- leading; Nola Swanson, a junior with two years; Ann DeBruyn, a junior with one year; Barbara Buway, a sophomore, with two years; Barbara VanderZyl, a sophomore, with two years and Frances Vormittag, a sophomore with two years. The girls of the reserve squad are; Ruth White, a freshman, with one year; and Shirley VanBeek, another freshman with one year. When Janice Roskamp was introduced as cheer- leading mascot at a pep assembly, the students showed their enthusiasm by their applause. The students of Coopersville High School have seen the definite improvement of their cheerleaders in co-operation and unity and sincerely wish they will yet become better in the years to come. STRING SEXTETTE The string sextette, a group of advanced students from the original orchestra, was organized at the beginning of the second semester, under the leadership of Mr. Franz. We studied popular, classical, and symphonic music. We played for the following events: Rotary Club supper, Christmas Concert, Easter Concert, 4-H Club program in Hol- land, The Easter Sunrise Services, and the May Concert. First Row: F. Lazaxski, B. VanderZyl, R. White, J. Buway, Miss Hawkins. Second Row: D. Lieffers, E. Cushway, D. Beld, A. DeBruyn, F. Vormittag, N. Swanson. Third Row: J. Busman, T. Sprik, L. Groenink, P. Gorter, E. Beld, C.

Football Opens 1949-1950 School Year COOPERSVILLE TAKES MARNE 6-0 Marne came to Coopersville, Fri- day night to play a non-league tilt under the arc lamps. Coopersville won by a close margin 6-0. The game opened with Marne re- ceiving the kickoff. In the first half, the game see-sawed back and forth with both teams showing good abil- ity. Both teams threatened to score without result. The second half opened with Coopersville receiving the kickoff. It went about the same as the first half except in the last quarter, when a kick was blocked on the part of Coopersville, after which Claude Hollinshead went over for a T.D. The try for extra point HUDSONVILLE EAGLES DROP BRONCOS 12-0 Friday night’s game even though lost is evidence of improvement of our team. The second half in par- ticular showed at least the boys were on the defense. Only a couple of times did a spark come alive for short drives down the field on of- fense. Unfortunately each drive ended in a pass interruption. Hudsonville with its giant ends and good passer were a real thorn in our side. Frank Sessions, Fred Bleckley and Larry Kelly just could- not get up high enough to reach the ball so they had to hang around down by the pass receiver’s knees and wait until he caught it. The line-up had only three Seniors, the rest being Juniors and Soph- omores. Fred Bleckley, a Junior, and Dick TerAvest, a Sophomore, broke into the line-up as starters, and during the game Junior Harold Rush put in a good performance. We learned a lot as a team and are building. Some of the boys playing have never played before and are doing a fine job. What will they do when they get a couple more games under their belt and know the ropes better? The Zeeland game gave the boys much-needed experience before we take on another league opponent—Kent City on the 14th of October. The line-up for the Hudsonville game was: Left End, Dick VanHaver; Left Tackle, John Buth; Left Guard, Jerry Gorter; Center, Nelson Hansen; Right Guard, Bill Czinder; Right Tackle, Dick TerAvest; Right End, Bob Arends; Left Halfback, Frank Sessions; Fullback, Claude Hollinshead; Right Halfback, Larry Kelly; Quarterback, Fred Bleckley. Substitutions: Line—Hodson, Rush, Easterly, Stromberg, and Bulthuis. Backs: Gordon, Curtis, and Kersting. COOPERSVILLE VARSITY LOSES TWO IN ROW Zeeland Powerhouse Beats Our First Team 27-0 Coopersville went to Zeeland Fri- day, October 7, to take a 27-0 beat- ing. Coopersville received the kick- off and after four tries were forced to kick. Zeeland took the ball and pushed over for the first T.D. The extra point was good. The game went about the same all the way through except during the third quarter when our team spark- ed in defense. Bleckley got off three real good kicks during the game. Zeeland managed to score four dif- ferent times in the game. Three extra points were made. The starting line-up for Coopers- ville included: Kelly (captain). Ses- sions, Bleckley, Hanson, Arends. Hol- linshead, Buth, Czinder, Van Haver, TerAvest and Rush. COOPERSVILLE SIEVES THROUGH KENT CITY 14-13 Due to the lights being unfinished at Kent City, the Eagles came to Coopersville to play at Aver ill Field. The team was drilled on offense all week and Coach Layton stated that the team showed considerable im- provement over the Hudsonville game. In the first half, Kent City, after attempting to kick, fumbled, then recovered and made a brilliant 75-yard run and scored on the next play. The try for the extra point failed. Although we got off to a bad start, Coopersville started to roll. Van- Haver sparked with some fancy run- ning and we pushed far into Kent City’s territory and scored on a pass to Arends. The extra point was also good on a pass to Arends, and at the half we took the lead 7-6. Kent City tried hard to gain yardage, but Cpopersville pushed them back. In the second half we outplayed Kent City by far and Van Haver scored another T.D. for Coopersville with two minutes remaining in the game. Gorter kicked the extra (winning) point of the game. Then the trouble began! With less than a minute to go Coopersville kicked to Kent City and they ran 65 yards for another T.D. The extra point was good. Kent City then kicked to Coopersville and we fumbled, with Kent City recovering. With 10 seconds to go Kent City missed a score by 10 yards. The final score 14-13. The starting line-up for Coopersville was: Hollinshead. Sessions, Bleckley,Arends, Buth, Bulthuis, Gorter, TerAvest Czinder, Hanson and VanHaver on offense, with Curtis on defense. Friday November 11, Sparta came to Averill field to beat us by a lop- sided score of 32-0. The game as a whole was pretty well one-sided, but once in a while there was a spark on our side. There was always the spirit no matter how far behind we were. One of the high lights of the game was Bleckley’s long kick which traveled 75 yards. This game was the last game of season with these Seniors who played their last game: Gorter, Czinder, Hollinshead, Kelly, and Easterly. The team, which wasn’t too suc- cessful, won two out of eight games and with mostly Juniors and Soph- omores; they lacked the experience which is well needed in a winning team. Next year with these boys coming back with this experience under their belts, they ought to have a very successful season. The starting line-up for the Sparta game included: Bulthuis, Ter A vest, Gorter, Hansen, Czinder (captain), Buth, Arends, Van Haver, Sessions, Hollinshead, and Bleckley. Frequent substitutions were: Rush, Curtis, Stromberg, Shook, Easterly, Hodson, Taylor, Lazarski, and Kelly. SPARTA'S CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM CRUSHES C'VILLE 32-0 COOPERSVILLE LOSES TO CEDAR SPRINGS 21-6 UNBEATEN COMSTOCK PARK ROLLS OVER COOPERSVILLE 25-0 Comstock Park went to a fourth victory in suc- cession by beating Coopersville 25-0 last Wednes- day night. Comstock Park put touchdown over in each quarter, with halfback, Mickey Martin lead- ing the parade on two pass catches good for T. D.’s. Czinder was the defensive star as well as on offense on the line. The game put Coopersville fourth in the Ken-Owa standings. Cedar Springs came to Coopersville last Friday! night to beat the Broncos 21-6. In the first half Coopersville out-played Cedar by far with some nice line plunging by Curtis and end runs by Gor-1 don and Lazarski. In the first quarter Coopersville, after getting; the ball, kept it to drive deep to the one-foot line. The next quarter Coopersville pushed it across,] The extra point failed. The second half—well, it was pretty bad for Coopersville. After Cedar got under motion it] seemed that nothing could stop them. They pushed across three touchdowns and converted each time to make the score 21-6. The starting line-up for Coopersville was: Gor- don, Lazarski, Curtis, Bleckley, Arends, TerAvest, Buth, Gorter, Hanson, Shook, Czinder (Captain). 1 Friday, October 28, Coopersville travelled to Plainwell to be beaten 12-0. Coopersville, in our estimation, played a good game, with Curtis plung- ing through the line, and those passes from Bleck- ley to Arends. As to defense, Coopersville did, very well with Shook getting right in there to do some nice tackling. In the first half we made a] nice drive down the field to about the 8-yard line, but were unable to get across for a touchdown. Plainwell also made a good drive in the first half and finally plunged to pay dirt. The extra point failed. In the second half, with the help of a 30-yard pass, Plainwell made another T. D., and the extra point failed again. All through the game, Bleckley did some smart quarter-backing. During the third quarter Curtis, who was playing a good game, had a little trouble with one of the Plain- well players and was “ahemm” taken out of the game. Lazarski got off a couple nice end runs for extra yardage. Although we lost, we played an excellent game. There were times when some experience would be of help, but the other plays made up for that. The starting line-up for Coopersville included: Shook, TerAvest, Gorter, Hanson, Czinder, Strom- berg, Arends, Bleckley, Lazarski, Curtis and Gordon. Along with these came fre- quent substitutions: Hodson, Taylor, Kelly and Rush.

February 10, 1950. Kent City—As usual, we won and did we ever win! The final score was Kent City 19, Coopersville 60. When the last quarter started the score was 46-15. It certainly was a good game. February 17, 1950. Hudsonville—It was the toughest battle Coach Vassallos’ Broncos had. Unfortunately we lost by one point, 24-23. It was close all the way with the score 6-5 at the first quarter, 12-11 at the half, 17-16 at the third period and the final, 24-23. February 21, 1950.

Coach Vassallos’ Broncos got an early jump with 12-5 in the first quarter. They kept things running with a 31-11 halftime score. Then substi- tutions kept coming in, but they did well against Cedar also. Coach Vassallos’ pressing defense proved to be su- preme, holding them to 24 points, which gives the Broncos an average of 25 points per game made against them in league play. 1949-1950 RESERVE TEAM RECORD The second team had a very successful season both in record and improvement lor the later years. They were Co-Champions for the Ken-Owa League Reserve Team Competition with Cedar Springs. Cedar Springs and Coopersville both had an 8-2 league record. Coopersvilles’ all opposition record is 11-5. They got off to a bad start with two nonleague defeats but went right back and took the next lour league plays. The average points per game vere 32.8 against 23.2 opposition. The most exciting game was the first game with Hudsonville, with a final score of 25-24 our favor. It was tied all the way to the end. These boys will be back next year playing on or backing up the first team to another championship.

V slUTOGRsiPHS ..Lillie s Department Store.. FOR OVER 75 YEARS COOPERSVILLE, MICHIGAN DO YOU APPRECIATE BEING AN AMERICAN? Just 5 short years since VJ Day—and once again the headlines talk of war and the threat of war. Prices have skyrocketed—and even for the bare necessities of life, a dollar goes hardly half as far as it once did. Tens of thousands of families are still doubled up—or living in trailers and undesireable quarters because of the critical housing shortage. Brother—it sounds tough—but what do we have to appreciate? What do we have? Listen .... We have a land where people vote in or vote out the government. We have a land where we can yawp to the high heaven about our troubles—and do something about them. We have a land where we can leave the shades up at night—and meet in more than two's and three's—and discuss politics, religion, personalities or anything we please. We have a country where we can go to the church of our choice, send our chil- dren to schools where we know they'll be taught the truth, pick and choose the job we like best—and leave it if it doesn't live up to our expectations. We live in a land where the police are our protectors and friends, where we can cross stale lines without submitting to inspection by border guards, where what we buy is not determined by whether we belong to the governing political party or not. We live in a country where the Four Freedoms are not a distant hope but a present reality. What do we have to appreciate and be thankful for?—our American heritage for which hundreds of thousands have given their lives. Let’s not lose it! FREEDOM IS EVERYBODY'S JOB!
