PROPERTY OF W' S-' . .v t table of contents DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES ADVERTISING i In appreciation for all that he has done for each and every one of us, the students of COOPERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL dedicate this annual of 1951 to to our principal Russell F. Conran Western Michigan College of Education; University of Michigan Economics — Student Council As a school teacher I am also an observer of youth. My duties permit me to watch young people come and go from the time they enter as Freshmen until they leave as Seniors, and it pleases me to be a part of the process by which they acquire an education. I like teaching! It is like a parade which began long, long ago and goes on endlessly; and I am able to continue with it long after others have passed out of sight. Such is my privilege as a teacher. I have enjoyed having you as pupils, and you can understand why I shall follow your progress as long as I can keep in touch with you. You are a part of my section of the parade and I must know where you are going. Your progress is the measure of my success as a teacher. 3n jWemortam IN MEMORY OF OUR CLASSMATE AND FRIEND MARILYN GUNNEMAN WHO DIED DURING OUR FRESHMAN YEAR OF SCHOOL 1948, WE DEDICATE THIS PAGE. ALLEN G. ROBINSON. Superintendent Greenville College, University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Michigan State College. It is an honor to introduce the ZENITH for 1951. The following pages record in pictures and words some of the events that will always remain fresh in the memories of those who call Coopersville High School their Alma Mater. The school year of 1950-1951 stands out because of a various array of accomplishments in athletics, student government, intro- duction of new courses, advanced teacher training and an enlarged enrollment. I wish to express my gratitude, first of all to Russell F. Conran, Principal, to whom this book is so appropriately ded- icated, and to all students, teachers, board members, and to the many others who have co-operated to help achieve whatever degree of success that has been reached this year. To the seniors, who will leave at the end of this year, and who are responsible for the pub- lishing of this annual, congratulations! I wish you continued suc- cess in the years ahead. Allen G. Robinson, Superintendent Tomorrow’s world depends upon today’s children. They deserve to learn for modern living in the best way possible. The elemen- tary school of Coopersville must build the skills and understandings that will prepare the child for youth and adult life. It is with great joy that I work with the children of this community and help them to experience learning situations that will help them face the future as good citizens.

CLASS PROPHECY Here it is already—1961. And time for the Decade Reunion of the Class of ’51 of Coopersville High School. The special speaker for the occasion is Thomas Bar- nett, Governor of Michigan. It seemed good to see all those familiar faces again when we met in the Goodwill Auditorium, designed and constructed by the Bulthuis Construction Corp. I notice the interior decorating is done by that famous inter- ior decorator, Harriet Bouwman. And the wonderful job of bricklaying by Marjorie Modderman, who opened this new field to women. The beautiful paintings are the work of Adelle Porter. Here comes the renowned Burnyce Meyer, Metropolitan Opera Star. And Rob- erta Anderson, Fred Ward and Nola Swanson, members of the New York Symphony Orchestra. On the right is Ron Niebarger, owner and star of the radio show, “Hillbilly Dillies” with his singer, Marion Engelsman. Ah. the Hollywood people are arriving now. Actress Rita Reister with her make-up artist, Marie Moelker and hair stylist Mary Lou Zuidema. Rita is leading lady of Writer, Marilyn Dyke’s latest play “Ah, Life’s Death,” produced and directed by Roger Baldus, Incorporated. Streeters’ Midnight Club, featuring Miss McCue, waltz king has been discussed. Certainly you have read in Van Burens’ Hollywood Column “Know-It-All” that the famous society leader, Ann DeBruyn, after divorcing her fourth husband. Actor Fred Bleckley, can’t decide between those two irresistible millionaire playboys, John Buth and Marv Roskamp. Talking together in a group, and probably about nature, are Roy Bolthouse, truck farmer; Bud Kloosterhouse, Taxidermist; Pat Albrecht, owner of the champion Guernsey “Bellow Betsy; Beverly Taylor, owner of a peacock farm; Dixie Hudson, farmerette; Don Vander Jagt and Marv Walt, owners of Economic Fertilizer Co.; Duane Hudson, sheeprancher; and Herb Jarka, big game hunter. We see the co-owners of Dorothy’s Reducing School, Dorothy Beld and Dorothy Styburski; also Roger Ensing. swimming instructor. To my left is that Conklin gang. Janice Kelly, manager of Kelly Telephone Co.; Phyllis Meier, first woman winner of the Indiana Speedway Race; Donna Lambers; Joyce Robbins, owner of Specialty Gift Shop and Jean Courtade, manager of Red and White Stores. Everyone has heard that our high school star Nelson Hansen, is playing in the Rose Bowl this year with Northwestern University, Allen Spencer is waterboy for this great team. Shirley Henning will preside as Queen of the Tournament of Roses at the Rose Bowl, and Thelma Sprik will be sport reporter again this year. Other sportsminded Classmates have made records for the books. Jack Lee is National Hillclimb winner; Gertrude Lintjer recently swam the English Channel in record- breaking time. Eloine Dracht is coaching basketball at the University of Michigan and Ruth Curtis is a professional Bronco rider, in Bennett’s Buckin Bronks Show. Charles Drake is the World’s Champion prizefighter. Just entering is the publisher of “Rocket Express,” Fred Zimmer and his reporter, Della Dragt; Dr. Carl Noe and his secretary, Juanita Mengel and nurse Pat Ellis, followed by Dentist Ray McCue and office helper, Betty Kragt. Here comes Arloa Stroven who models Bonita Christian’s creations in Burns’ Dress Shoppe. Let’s see who makes up that group of men over there in the corner. Oh, it’s Wendell Omlor, deep sea diver for Parish Sea Investigators Inc. There’s the owner of Rush’s Floral Shop; and Delton Wiersma, driver of a rocket ship owned by Groot- ers-Sessions Rocket Company; Harold DeCan, mechanic; Clinton Schaap, inventor of Schaap’s Automatic Shoelacer; the owners of the Hintz-Hodson Bow-Tie Corp.. and Gene Gordon who invented the wonderful Zippo Rat Killer. Chatting together in another group are Rev. Alvin Wezeman and Mortician John Van Buren, with Lawyei'Wayne Stromberg and Perry McLellan who guarantees his product can grow hair on anything. To my right I see Gloria Ritz, advisor to the Lovelorn; Barbara Sutton, skywriter; Mina Venema, Professor of Atomic Research; Norma Esther, social worker; Helen Mink, Pharmacist; Lorraine Vander Jagt, United States Ambassador to Russia; Feme Hornauer, Airline Hostess; Dolores Pointer, Professor at Western College; Ellen Johnson, professional window washer and June Handlogten, noted detective. The people are finding their way to the tables now where they will partake of a delicious dinner and recall the days they spent in their dear Alma Mater, Coopers- ville High School. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1947 as FRESHMEN we began the year with 121 happy hayseeds. Naturally we were confused, and as we look back, we laugh and say, “remember how we ran around like chickens with our heads cut off, try- ing to find our way around the school and being embarrassed?” We chose as our first leaders: President Marilyn Gunneman Vice President Nola Swanson Secretary ........... Eloine Dracht Treasurer Betty McCue Advisor Mrs. Vander Hyde The class found an eager interest in the activities and sports. As SOPHOMORES, we were better acquainted with high school life and its uncertain ways. The officers elected were: President ............................... Ann DeBruyn Vice President _____________John Buth Secretary .................................Jean Doty Treasurer ............................... Frank Sessions Advisors................. Mr. DeWitt and Mr. Gallup We enjoyed giving our first party, the Halloween Dance. The setting was created inside the gym by using cornstalks, pumpkins, and other fall decorations. Then before we knew it, we were self-assured JUNIORS. Our class rings arrived. We were making a place for ourselves in sports and activities. The election of officers resulted in: President Vice President Secretary ............. Treasurer -............. Advisors ............... ....................Carl Noe ............... Norma Esther ............—... Rita Reister Nelson Hansen Mr. DeWitt and Mr. Layton The Junior play, “The Rich Full Life,” was a great success for us. After the play we concentrated on the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme of the banquet was “Moonlight and Roses.” When June came we at- tended the Baccalaureate services and graduation of the Class of ’950. SENIORS at last! Three years spent in study, laughter, assemblies, and proper guidance to be topped off by the grand, glorious senior year—and graduation. To start the ball rolling, we elected officers: President Nelson Hansen Vice President Perry McLellan Secretary .....-.............._. John Buth Treasurer .............................Roy Bolthouse Advisors Mr. Layton and Miss Streeter We had a tomato throwing stand at Home-coming, and many seniors contributed their time and faces—what fun this was. The cast was chosen for the play entitled “Handy Man.” The play was well received. We sold refreshments noons and at all athletic events. From then on, the pace quickened. A peculiar sensation was felt when we attended the Junior-Senior banquet. It was our last party and celebration with classmates and teachers. Then came feelings of glad- ness and regret when the last days of school and Commencement were near. It is now up to us to find our own way, with the aid of the education that has been given us. SENIORS INVADE WASHINGTON A four-day trip to Washington— A senior’s dream come true. To see our nation’s capitol, Its functions to review. We take the busses to Detroit, A jolting trip I’ll guess, And surely when we got there Our clothes were all a mess. We board the train and then, we’re off! Our second lap begun, A restless noisy group of kids Just bursting for some fun. The endless clicking of the rails Soon ended our fun making; And drowsy heads soon nodded. I knew they weren’t faking. And then a flash across the sky, A shining, brilliant glare, It was the lights of Pittsburgh, From the many steel mills there. Soon, then, sleep overtakes us, A dense and silent fog. And then the dawn arises And finds us all agog To see the town of Baltimore Amid the morning smog. We climb aboard an omnibus That takes us for a ride, To see the scenic beauty Of the town and countryside. That afternoon we journeyed To Washington, the hub Of all our federal busines, Teeming with hub-bub. We visited the monuments, And the great museums too. These helped to grasp the meaning Of our red, white and blue. The glamor of old Washington Is much revered by day, But the beauty is accented When the sun has lost his sway. A tour of lighted Washington. A thrill not soon forgot, Was the highlight of the day We all enjoyed a lot. Then back we went to our hotel For it was getting late, But who could sleep with so much fun Just longing to escape. But finally the sandman ruled His dreamy, drowsy land, And each and every open eye Was extinguished with some sand. Then dawn! and off again On a tour around the town. There were so many sights to see ’Twas hard to hold us down. But then, of course, as sure as all Good things come to an end; We left exciting Washington, But there our thoughts still bend. And when we got back to Detroit, A shuffling, sleepy crowd. We all were thinking the same thoughts Though none were said aloud. —Allen Bennett.

FRESHMAN CLASS We lose our pencils and our books; We fall downstairs and stumble. We’re embarrassed here and lost there, We’re just Freshmen in a jumble. The same old woes are repeated year after year not only here at good old C. H.S., but in high school everywhere. At first the victim’s thoughts are. “Will I ever re- member my locker number, or the room I go to next? Will I ever be successful in juggling my plate of food in the hot lunch line without dropping it? How can the upper classmen be so brilliant about everything?” Then gradually the answers to these questions start coming in. The answer to the lunch question being that you merely need three hands, and you finally come to the conclusion that the Seniors First How—Left to Right: Mrs. G. Van Doom, I� . llovingh.

After several years as non-participants in the Michigan High School Forensic Association, C. H. S. entered anew with a very inexperienced and beginning group of students interested in debate, declamation, oratory, extempore speaking, and dramatic reading. First of all, as an outgrowth of the speech class under the direction of Miss Guillod, twenty-one students journeyed to Ann Arbor to a debate clinic on October 14. At that time Muskegon Heights invited C. H. S. to a practice debate. After the three Coopersville teams, one affirmative and two negative, proved their ability with the Heights, the Varsity Debate Teams were formed to include Marilyn Cusiek and Ron Barkel as affirmative and Richard Goerz and Bill Ball on the negative team. Madelyn Stevens and Arlene DeMull were chosen reserve members. On the first debate on November 15 at Kelloggsville both of the Coopersville teams were beaten in close decisions, showing much superiority in oratory on the part of C. H. S. Benefiting greatly from the first tournament debate, both Coop- ersville teams became the victors of the unbeaten Holland Christian debaters at C. H. S. on December 1, displaying great improvement and brilliant debating skill. The third scheduled debate was to be held with Muskegon Christian, but the latter team became non-participants after the beginning of the tournament season so the debate was not held. All in all, the 1950-51 year of debating ended very successfully for the Varsity Debaters, all of whom were juniors. Consequently, even greater attainments may be expected next year. Much good luck and best wishes goes to our deserving teams. Norma VanderZyl, Bonita Christian, Wendell Omlor, Ror. Barkel, Miss Larson, Catherine Jensen. Peter Hovingh, Dick Barkel.

CAMERA CLUB 1950-51 The initial meeting of the Coopersville High School Camera Club was going strong the night of September 27. The first thing accomplished was to elect the new officers. Last Year Wendel Omlor Shirley Henning Norma Wibert Ila Wibert and Juanita Mengel Mr. Keddie President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisor This Year Tom Barnett Peter Hoving Betty Sternberg Bonita Christian Mr. Keddie fcii SB Meetings are held once a month. During the year we went on a camera picnic hike, (the person that shot the best picture won S2.00). We made a tour through a Grand Haven photo laboratory; we held a private social party, which was thorough- ly enjoyed by all; we sponsored another great skating party for the entire school, and we did plenty of printing and developing for ourselves. That covers a few of our activities—all in all, we enjoyed Camera Club this year more than ever. PEP CLUB This organization is probably more exclusive in its nature than any other in Coopersville High. It is directly sponsored and under the supervision of the Student Council. Its participating members have varied in number from 10 to 20. during the last year. The above picture does not necessarily include all that are members at this time nor all that have been members, but it gives a general idea of those that have given considerable amount of their time and effort to support the “Pep” of Coopersville High School.

Barbara VanderZyl, Barbara Buway, Frances Vormittag, Mr. Keddie. Our job has been big enough this year. We have boosted the pep assemblies, promoted all Student Council activities, helped to encourage good citizenship and good sportsmanship, and to promote just plain ordinary PEP into our fellow class- mates. Included in our Pep Club are our cheer leaders. The student council gave to us S50.00 with which we bought material and had cheerleaders uniforms made. During the year the Pep Club has sponsored a few parties to help pay for the money used in buying material for our uniforms. Frances Vormittag, Ann He Bruyn Barbara Buway, Nola Swanson, Barbara VanderZyl The Club has also drawn up and approved a Constitution which gives it some foundation from which we can work.

It proved to be a big success, and the club cleared enough money to buy at least one new cheer-lead- ing outfit. Other similar parties are planned dur- ing the year.

Members are students who rank high in scholarship and in citizenship. The High School Principal is the advisor of the group. The Student Council meets once a week and concerns itself with promoting the best interests of the student body and faculty, and between Coopersville High School and other schools—especially those of the Ken-Owa League. The Council’s main project during 1950-51 was to carry on the work of 1949-50 Council, toward the building of a club house for use by school groups. Very satisfactory progress was made toward this goal. , ., , In addition to this project the Council has provided noon-hour movies at low cost, supervised the hall monitor set-up, cooperated with the faculty during assemblies and fire drills, sponsored an ex- change of students with other schools, and supervised the annual “Student Government Day.” Your 1950-51 Student Council has performed valuable services for the school, and its record of achievement speaks for itself.

And why not? He had a sizeable nucleus of returning lettermen with a year’s experience behind them, and a good turn out of promising material. Looking over the sauad he observed that he had size as well as experience. So he began the task of molding a team for the coming campaign. Whitehall 12—Coopersville 0 The opening game was played at Whitehall on September 15th. Coach Layton fielded a team with a line composed of Arlyn Shook and Ray Bulthuis, ends; John Buth and Dick TerAvest, tackles: John Hodson and Harold Rush, guards; Fred Bleck- ley. quarterback: Ron Van Haver and John Grootenhuis, halfbacks; and Bob Arends, fullback. As it turned out this combination failed to click, and Whitehall took the game by a 12-0 score. There was a lack of spirit and drive with our team and the backfield looked slow and heavy-footed in comparison with Whitehall. Some bright spots appeared, however. Bleckley did a fine job of punting and on occasion Van Haver and Grootenhuis were able to make sizeable gains. SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL J. Marsae, U. Kaan, R. Hint , G. Gordon, D. Plant, P. Hlccklcv, A.

Jim Buth, Lowell Kelly, Gordon Bennink. Frank Lamoe, Charles Snyder, Lester Ossewaarde, Gay Groosenbacher Coopersville 13—Hudsonville 0 The second game of the campaign was played at home before a nice crowd. It also marked the opening of the Ken-Owa League season for both teams. Coach Layton had shaken up his backfield until it was almost unrecognizable in an effort to get a combination that would score. Bleckley still had the quarterback post, but the halfbacks were Arlyn Shook and Gene Gordon and “Whitey” Busman took over the full-backing. The first half was scoreless, but there was evidence that the Broncos could move. The second half finally bore fruit as Busman scored on a line plunge and Dick Ter- Avest booted the extra point for a 7-0 lead, and everything was dandy when Frank Sessions, making his initial appearance as half back, scored on an off-tackle run for the final markers. CHS Defeats Kent City 32-0 Alertness and ability to capitalize on the breaks of the game paid good dividends as the Coopersville Broncos defeated Kent City for their second victory in the Ken- Owa League 32-0. The winners tallied in every quarter, scoring in the first, second and fourth quar- ters and two in the third. A long pass, Gordon to Shook, set the stage for the initial TD, bringing the ball to the Kent City 13 yard line where Bleckley went over on a quarterback sneak. Broncs Bow to Caledonia 40-0 The C-villites suffered their second gridiron defeat of the season when they en- countered Caledonia, an undefeated and hard playing team, king-pin of the Bar- Ken-All League. This Caledonia team which rated with the best in the state, never gave the Broncos a “look-in.” On only one occasion was the Coopersville team in- side Caledonia territory, and this was late in the game. Comstock Park Takes CHS A three touchdown splurge in the last quarter, after Coopersville had knotted the count 19-19 with a fine comeback, gave Comstock Park a hard earned victory over the Broncos. With both squads undefeated in league play, this battle loomed as a “natural,” but within five minutes of the opening kickoff Comstock had made two TD’s and it seemed as though a dull evening was in store. However our boys came back to tie and made the game very interesting. Cedar Springs vs. Coopersville Wednesday, October 19, 1950 Coopersville travelled to Cedar Springs to be de- feated by a score of 19-0. Cedar took the initiative early in the game and out-played C’ville the rest of the way. Gene Gordon showed well for the Broncos, and Arlyn Shook showed promise as a ball carrier. Broncos Regain Face, Upset Ionia Eleven Bounding back after having three bad games, the Coopersville Broncos defeated a favored Ionia eleven 13-6. The Broncos scored twice in the first half, both scores coming on long runs by Busman. The visitors came back strong in the second half and broke into stride in the fourth period when they scored their lone counter. Altogether, it was a bright spot in the season’s play for Coopersville. SPARTA TAKES LAST GAME 13-0 Whatever hopes the C’ville Broncos might have had of finishing second or third in the Ken-Owa race, went glimmering as the team fell before Sparta in a hard battle on the Trojans gridiron. For three quarters the Broncos and Spartans battled up and down the field, with both teams having opportunities to score, but fumbling them away. In the fourth period the Spartans broke the scoring ice wih Stebbins going two yards on an off tackle smash for a score. Later in the same period Burgett raced 25 yards on a beautiful reverse play to cross the final stripe standing up.

Franz have had a very successful year. They twirled at every home football game and also went to Sparta with the band. The girls accompanied the band when they went to the fairs, put on concerts, and participated in the Coopersville Home Coming Parade, and twirled at several of the home basketball games. Their twirling activities will close the third year of baton twirling with the big Memorial Day Parade. SENIOR PLAY Thursday and Friday night, November 16-17, the Senior class presented a three act comedy, “The Handy Man.” It was one complication after an- other, beginning when Mitzi, a mischievous teen- ager makes up a story to tell her mother, so Joe Robinson, a University student, can get a room in their home as a handy man. The rest of the story you can guess. Included in the cast are: Mitzi Miller Harriet Miller Thelma Sprik Cathy Miller Fred Miller Alan Bennett Ben Miller Joe Robertson Mrs. Robertson Mrs. Custer Mrs. Cooney Joyce Robbins Ducky Tipton Lenore Long Sidney Collins Herb Jarka Bert Morris Roger Baldus Mary Jane Price .

Those leading the attack are Delton Wiersma, center: John Hodson, forward; and Roger Ensing, guard, all of whom were members of last year’s championship team in the Ken-Owa league. Rounding out the team were John Grootenhuis, forward and Arlyn Shook, guard. Bob Bartz and Ron Van Haver are the managers. The Broncos had a record of 15 wins and 3 losses. In the Ken-Owa league they were champions with a straight record of 10 wins. In the class B state tournaments the scores were close. Coopersville behind 3 points, came back to win the game with East Grand Rapids with a margin of 2 points. By a process of elimination we played Godwin Heights as our second tournament game. This closely played game brought an end to one of the greatest seasons in the school’s history. Our Coach, Mr. Vassallo, has done much to form a good team and bring about these victories. 1950-51 SEASON SCORES Varsity Team Dec. 1—Coopersville 56 Sparta 21 Dec. 8—Coopersville 62 Belding . 20 Dec. 12—Coopersville 46 Grand Haven 53 Dec. 15—Coopersville 34 Hudsonville 29 Dec. 22—Coopersville 54 Ionia 40 Jan. 5—Coopersville 55 Comstock Park 41 Jan. 9—Coopersville 56 Cedar Springs 40 Jan. 12—Coopersville 71 Kent City 22 Jan. 16—Coopersville 54 Grandville 50 Jan. 23—Coopersville 37 North Muskegon 22 Jan. 26—Coopersville 63 Sparta 33 Feb. 6—Coopersville 68 Kent City 26 Feb. 9—Coopersville 68 Hudsonville 36 Feb. 16—Coopersville 60 Comstock Park 31 Feb. 20—Coopersville 64 Cedar Springs 39 Feb. 23—Coopersville 39 Fremont 48 Mar. 1—Coopersville 49 47 •Mar. 3—Coopersville 42 Godwin Heights 43 Tournament Games Delton Wiersma—A 6 ft. 4 in. center who has done much to inspire the team to another Ken- Owa Championship. Del. often playing under severe pressure and the opposition operating on a ••stop Wiersma attack, had been main scoring threat. Among his honors Del made All-Confer- ence Team in the Ken-Owa League and honorable mention on the All-State basketball team. Roger Ensing—Rog is the captain of the team this year. He was a good sport and did a lot to keep the team together. Rog has three years of Varsity playing to his credit and made the All- Conference team. When the team was over- exited. Rog did much to slow them down.

Arlyn played guard and he was fast and springy on the floor. He made the All-Conference second team. Mr. Vassallo—He was among the top three coaches for the honor of the Coach of the Year” chosen by the Grand Rapids Herald for the Western Michigan area. John Hudson—John played forward and won a hard battle over his temper. He is an excellent defensive player along with the other forward. John Grootenhuis. John Grootenhuis—Johnny is a 5 ft. 11 in. forward who played his first year on the Varsity this year. He showed his worth by his good play this season. With this year’s experience and his height he should be a key man on the 1951-’52 squad. JUNIOR PLAY On April 12 and 13 the Junior class presented the three-act comedy, Meet Me In SI. Louis, writ- ten by Sally Benson and dramatized by Perry Clark. This play and a movie of the same title are both based on a book by Sally Benson. Meet Me In St. Louis was a story of the “good old days” of the turn of the century. As different as life in those days was from life today, however, family life presented many of the same problems as it does today. In fact, the four lively Smith girls gave father Lonnie Smith many nerve-wrack- ing moments. The cause of all the trouble was the World’s Fair, held in St. Louis for the first time in the summer of 1904. When the children learned that they would be moving to New Ycrk and would miss the Fair, they decided to revolt. Quickly they gathered forces for an attack on “Papa’s boss,” Mr. Dodge. The purpose of this attack was to persuade Mr. Dodge that Papa couldn’t even “man- age his own family,” and, as Mr. Dodge said, “If a man can’t manage his own family, he can’t man- age anything.” If they could prove to Mr. Dodge that Papa really couldn’t manage his family, he would send Mr. Duffy to New York instead of Papa. The results of their campaign were disastrous, as well as hilarious, for they caused Paoa to lose not only the chance to go to New York, but his job as well. However, the whole affair came to a happy ending just in time for everyone to enjoy the Fair. The play cast included Norton Taylor as the worried father and Marilyn Cusick as Mother. Lon, the loan-demanding son. was played by Bill Ball. The. daughters were Marylee Rozeboom as Rose, the “queen.” Carolyn Nordwall as the effer- vescent Esther, Sally Baldus as tom-boyish Agnes, and Betty Lothschutz as impish Tooti. Melvin Snyder as Grandpa and Shirley Sheridan as Katie, the maid, comp.eted the Smith family. Mrs. Waughop, the complaining neighbor, was Madelyn Stevens. Richard TerAvest played “Papa’s boss,” Mr. Dodge, and Richard Goerz the interfering Mr. Duffy. The rest cf the cast included Arlyn Shook as Fred Gregory, Ron Barkel as John Shepard, Barbara Grasman as Lucille Pentard, Barbara Aney as Ida Booth by, and Jerome Anderson as the conductor. The crews included Richard Herrington as Bus- iness Manager. Arlene DeMull on publicity, Jean Kraai in charge of programs and ushers, Barbara Buway on tickets. The stage manager was Ronald Van Haver, and his assistant John Grootenhuis. The scenic effects were under the supervision of Marvin Bouwkamp. Working on costumes was Patsy Johnson, on paint crew. Patricia Gorter, on make-up, Audrey Nichols and Patricia Hubbel, and on properties, Ila Wibert. The play was a big success and drew a record- breaking crowd, the total attendance being 1261. Much of the credit for this success goes to Miss Guillod, the director. The cast also greatly ap- preciated the cooperation given in donating period costumes and furniture.

VanWeelde BAND The band reorganized this year with a membership of 50 players. After the marching drills of the football season, it settled down to work on the Christmas Con- cert, at which Norton Taylor played a trombone solo, and the trumpet trio also ren- dered a number. After the second semester began we started practicing new music for the Easter Concert, March 16. The Spring Concert, May 11, featured several of the Seniors as soloists. Fred Bleckley played a trumpet solo, Thelma Sprik, a flute solo, and Nola Swanson, a piano solo. The band has also rendered service to the community by playing for various civic activities. CHORUS The chorus met in two sections this year, together totaling approximately 130 voices. The prime aim of the chorus this year was to raise money for new choir robes. This money-raising project was largely the work of the Music Parents’ Club. The robes were purchased shortly before the Christmas Concert and were presented to the public at that time. The white stoles arrived later and were pre- sented at the Easter Concert, March 16. The Spring Concert, May 11, was the final concert of the year. In addition to the concerts, the chorus also sang for the meet- ings of the Music Parents’ Club. Featured soloists throughout the year were: Mary Lee Rozeboom, Cecile Sprik, Betty Lothschutz, Roy Bolthouse ,and Ron Barkel. Compliments of fe aan.d a duccUia t Luther J.
