The pictures and stories recorded on the following pages will serve in the year ahead to bring back memories of the many happy events, and the beginnings of many lasting friendships, that have taken place at CHS during this school year. ALLEN S. ROBINSON Superintendent The Zenith is the product of a great deal of effort by the Ad- visors and Staff. May I compliment these people on a big job, well done. I am certain that our student body joins with me in saying that your efforts are greatly appreciated, and the permanent record of the school year 1951-52 which this issue of the Zenith represents is a tribute to your skill and imagination. RUSSELL F. CONRAN Principal 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.

It is the largest graduating class in the history of Coopersville. Possibly other classes in the future may be larger but it is unlikely that there will ever again be a class of one hundred. It is unique because it occurs the same year the Michigan Education Association is celebrating its one hundredth anniversary. The number 100 seems to indicate completeness and unity, and even to some degree—success. It is hoped that the meaning of the number is also prophetic and that each member of the class will attain future success in every sense of the term. Supt.

Phys Ed 2 CLASS PROPHECY Good evening, ladies and gentlmen; this is your Saturday evening news commentator, Dick Goerz, covering for you this evening the 32nd annual Coopersville Banquet. Never before in history has one small town come up with so many national and international celebrities as this town of Coopersville. The banquet room is nearly empty at the present time except for a few early comers who include Miss Alyce Averill and Miss Jeanette Breen, co-editors of the nationally famous fashion magazine “52”, and Mr. Harold Cheyne, inventor of the Cheyne Automotor. Also, on the other side of the room, are Mr. David Barnett, U. S. Ambassador to Spain, and Mr. Dick Walker, U. S. Ambassador to the Netherlands. Standing near the two ambassadors and laughing over old times are Mr. Jerome Anderson and Miss Barbara Aney, both of whom have just returned from a big game hunting expedition in Africa. Checking their coats for the evening are Miss Sally Baldus, publicity director for the Barbara Allen Floral Co., Inc., Mr. Robert Bartz, proprietor of his own famous antique shop in Atlanta, Ga., Miss Janice Bakes, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Miss Marie Bar, a glamorous Powers Model. In the cuter lobby we find a number of well-known persons. The first group I see is Mr. Robert Arends, manager of the Chicago Bears; Mr. Marvin Bouwkamp, acting manager of the Michigan Humane Society; Mr. Gerald Bouwman and Mr. Lawrence Busman, juggling artists of the Ringling Bros. Circus; and Mr. Dcnald Busfield, president of The Business Men’s Assurance Company of America. In the far corner of the lobby are Mr. Wayne Clark and Miss Barbara Buway, famous Hollywood stars; Miss Marilyn Cusick, world renowned author; Mr. Joel Crouse and Mr. Gene Correll, executives of the Gordon Constantine Railroad Lines; and Miss Arlene DeMull, style director of Sachs Fifth Avenue. And now coming in the door, ladies and gentlemen, is the fabulous manager of the Hilton Hotels, Mr. John Grootenhuis and his wife, the fashion plate of Fifth Avenue, the former Miss Barbara Giasman. Closely following the famous Grootenhuises is the distinguished American scientist, Mr. Richard Gereau, and his associate. Miss Audrey Nichols. At the present time Mr. Gereau is work- ing on a new type of vinegar for the Snyder Vinegar Products, Inc., of Chicago, owned, naturally by Mr. Melvin Snyder. Near the head table is a group of old friends including Miss Betty Lothschutz, metropolitan opera scprano, and Mr. Ronald Barkel, director of the Borton Concert Chorus. Also talking over old times are Mr. William Ball, founder of the Ball Medicines, Inc., and Mr. Donald Czinder, acclaimed by millions for his recent discoveries in the field of nuclear fission. Many small groups are gathering in the middle of the room; perhaps we should walk over that way. To the left I see Miss Elsie Cushway and Miss Ila Wibert, secretaries for the Walter Erhorn Bandager, Inc., Chicago; Miss Carol Empie, the Navajo representative from California, and Miss Julia Gavin, vice-president of the International Boxing Commission. To the right is a group in- cluding Miss Joyce Daugherty and Miss Marion Eaton. New York dancing instructors, and Miss Lois Groenink and Miss Patricia Gorter, private secretary of Mr. John D. Rockefeller Jr. Seated at a table to the rear are Capt. Anthony Hehl of the Corps of Civil Engineers; Mrs. Alvin Kolberg and Mr. Edward Judd, professional sword swallowers; Miiss Patricia Hubbel and Miss Bertha Hollinshead, co-owners of the Snap Map Co., Inc.; Miss Jacqueline Johnson and Miss Patsy Johnson of the John- son and Johnson Soup Co.; and Miss Lois Kirkbride, aviation instructor with the Women’s Air Force. At another nearby table are Miss Jean Kraai, artist with the Richard Herrinton Bubble Gum Corp.; Mr. Robert Langlois and Mr. Robert Molyneux of the Niebargar Insurance Company; Miss Suzanne Lemieux, manager of the Grand Rapids Chicks; Miss Mary Mergener, sales lady for the Ann Lemmen Cosmetics Co.; and Mr. Thomas McLenithan, interior decorator. Among the new arrivals are Mr. Louis LaMadline and Mr. Raymond Nelson of the Used Car Dealers of America; Miss Florence Lazarski, and Miss Donna Leiffers, owners of the Lalief Candy Bar Corp. of Amer- ica; Miss Carolyn Nordwall. Esquire Calendar girl; Miss Mary Park and Miss Joyce Sharphorn, both world famous animal trainers; Mr. Tom Parks, famous magician; and Miss Arlene Parker, an un- usually talented architect. As the guests begin to seat themselves a few newcomers issue from the smoking room, they include: Miss Johanna Noppert, Miss Melva Stark, and Miss Agnes Scott, the highly successful trio which is now appearing at the Hotel Astor in New York; Miss Eileen Peter- son, who accompanies them on the harpsicord; Miss Marylee Rozeboom and Miss Phyllis Van Doom, two of the world’s most famous masseuse; Mr. Arlyn Shook, who is making his first appearance in two years at Bar Bell Demonstration House in New York; Miss Shirlie Sheridan and Miss Madelyn Stevens, authors of the popular song “Perch Skiffs Are Leaving”; Mr. Robert Short, inventor of the supersonic toothpick; Mr. George Taylor and Mr. Ronald Van Haver, vocational guidance direc- tors at the University of Alaska; Miss Rita Yost, chief cook at the Waldorf Astoria Dining Room; and Miss Delores Spencer, first woman Secretary of State. Over at the coat checkroom are some very late arrivers—namely: Mr. Richard Ter A vest and Mr. Jack Titus, Florida fruit growers; Mr. Norton Taylor, fun writer for Milton Berle; Miss Carol Van Dyke and Miss Mary Veeneman, pub- licity managers of the Barbara VanderZyl Ice Review; Miss Marilyn Veldman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs; Frances Vormittag and Bobbi Kay Whitman who have then- own television fashion review; Miss Dorothy Vollema, women’s champion wrestler; Mr. David Washburn and Mr. Chris Weis, touring acrobats; and Mr. Richard Van Haver, editor of the Satur- day Evening Post. Coming in the door is the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Donald Van Weelde, and right behind him is the guest of honor of the evening, ladies and gentlemen, the governor of the state of Mich- igan, Mr. William Schilling. Now it is time to wish you one and all a good evening. This is D. B. C., the Dykstra Broad- casting Company. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It’s hard to believe that four years ago (1948) we were silly, clumsy freshmen getting lost at every turn and looking like we were scared to death of the teachers. In the midst of all this turmoil we still were able to elect our class officers and advisors. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer------ Advisors ______________________ Don Czinder .................... George Taylor ........................ Sally Baldus .............Bobbi Kay Whitman ____________ Miss Watson, Mr. Tilden By the time we became Sophomores we thought we were a year smarter, we put on a party called the “Hobo Ball”, which was very successful. The officers were chosen as follows: President ___________________________ Joel Crouse Vice President ..............-............Arlyn Shook Secretary......................... Barbara Grasman Treasurer.................. _... Bobbi Kay Whitman Advisors ................ Miss Hawkins, Mr. Vassallo We started our Junior year with the election of officers. President..._............... Vice President _____________ Secretary .................. Treasurer .................. Advisors ................... Bill Ball _________ Ron Van Haver Ann Lemmen Carolyn Nordwall Miss Guillod, Mr. DeWitt Six weeks after we were Juniors, our class rings came. We sponsored a dance “The Sock Hop”, which will long be remembered for its originality. Our play, “Meet Me In St. Louis” made our treasury bulge, so planned the Junior-Senior banquet with the theme “Apple Blossom Time.” Then came Baccalaureate ser- vices and finally graduation for the seniors. Three years of laughter and studying made us settle down to planning the trip and choosing class officers. President ------------------------------- Dick Ter A vest Vice President —....................... Ron Van Haver Secretary -------------------------------Barbara Buway Treasurer — _____________________________Dick Herrinton Advisors Miss Streeter, Mr. Hammer The play “New Fires” was a success. Refreshments were sold at athletic events and noon hours. Leap Year Follies (party) was sponsored by us, and then came the trip to Niagara Falls which will long be remem- bered. The Junior-Senior banquet came, and with it our last party—the last time to celebrate our four years together. Commencement came and went and with it a feeling of regret. The best years of our lives had been spent in the best place they could have been. Now we are on our own with many memories of our high school days. We will find the right road by using the knowledge we have gained in our four years in school! ! !

JUNIORS This year the Juniors came back to school with an eagerness that Coopersville has longed to see for some time. Looking back on the various events, the Juniors had a very successful year.

Mrs. Van Doom and Miss Dalrymple acted as advisors. The paper was published every three weeks in cooperation with the Coopersville Observer. Besides making up one page of the weekly paper, a separate sheet was printed to be sold at the school. During the year the Sentinel exchanged issues with the following schools: Grand Haven, Whitehall, Ionia, Comstock Park, Sparta, Hudsonville, Ludington, Zeeland, Fennville, Otsego, Evart, Cedar Springs, and North Muskegon. The papers received from these schools were placed in the library where they were available to all students. We hope this exchange has helped to build a feel- ing of friendship between these schools.

Jensen. Mrs. Petchauer, M. Cusick Second Row: R. Goerz, J. Blankenburg, R. Barkel, B. Ball. DEBATE After one year of debating experience, Coopersville’s team did an excellent job. The negative team won all of their debates and the affirmative team lost only one. Because the team won all of their local debates, they were eligible to enter the district contest at Albion. After arriving there, our negative team drew Battle Creek Lakeview. Coopersville won by a decision of 2 to 1. We drew a bye for the next round. At the next drawing it fell again to the negative team who then had to debate Ludington. We won by a decision of 3 to 0. Coopersville and Albion were the only teams left. We lost to the more experienced Albion by a close margin. Miss Guillod, our coach who decided to return to college, was replaced by Mrs. Petchauer. We are sorry to see such an excellent debate team leave, but sincerely hope that Coopersville High School will have enough students interested in debate to maintain the high standards of debating this team has set for them. The best of luck and good wishes go to this deserving, 1951-52 team. The varsity team consisted of: Marilyn Cusick senior—first affirmative speaker Ron Barkel, senior—second affirmative speaker Bill Ball, senior—first negative speaker Dick Goerz, senior—second negative speaker Catherine Jensen, junior, debated in one varsity debate and is the only returning debater next year.

On the fifteen acres behind school and the forty acres we rent, we combine some of the practices we learn in agriculture. Some of these practices are: brush spray- ing, weed spraying, planting trees, and grass waterways. We are going to plant a patch of strawberries, and do some variety demonstrations. We are also doing some demonstrations with corn. Contour plowing is another project of ours. Gay Grossenbacher is plowing this year for the gardens. We also had wheat, corn, and oats in the ground which we rented this past year. This year we participated in a district contest. We entered the parliamentary procedures and demonstrations. Two delegates went to the State Convention in East Lansing this year. They were Bill Schilling, and Larry Hannenburg. We are fortunate to have one boy make the National Chorus and go to the National Convention in Kansas City. ' He is Jon Faasen. Robert Molyneux received a State Farmer degree. The ten award winners went to Higgins Lake last summer. The officers for the past year were as follows: President, Robert Molyneux; Vice-President, Rolen Pfahler; Secretary, Jon Faasen; Treasurer, Melvin Snyder; Reporter, Bill Schilling; and Sentinel, Wayne Clark. Mr. Howland, our agricul- ture teacher, was our advisor. HOME EC First row: M. Kragi, B. Handloglen, P. Johnson, A. Lemmen. S. Koster, J. Johnson, L. Kirkbride, L. McCue, M. Burns, S. Lemieux, V.

At these meetings several worthwhile and useful tasks were accomplished. We made several scrap-books to be sent to the Mary Free Bed Guild in Grand Rapids. Considerable time was spent in developing worthwhile leisure-time activities. At this time the girls learned various types of handwork such as embroidering, knitting, and crocheting. Other activities consisted of planning parties for special days, and various types of demonstrations. One of the major activities was assuming responsibility for making the costumes for the operetta Our officers for the year are- President _____________________________ Ann Lemmen Vice President_____________________________ Marie Bar Secretary ..._..........................

Mrs. Vanderhyde SENIOR PLAY On the nights of November 15 and 16 the Senior Class presented the three-act comedv “New Fires” by Charles Quimby Burdette. “New Fires” took place in an inherited house during the spring and summer of 1951. The entire setting was the com- bination dining-room-living-room of the old-fashioned Santry homestead in the southern part of Missouri. The father, a tired author, brought his family down there to recuperate from the tension of city life. He tried to get all of his family to earn their living and this play is the amusing story of the problems he faced. Billy is always getting into “hot-water” with Lucinda, the house- keeper; Olive fakes illness so that she might return to Chicago; and during this time Mary Marshall, a neighbor girl, breaks out with scarlet fever and quar- antines the Santry homestead. Later that summer Mr. and Mrs. Santry observe their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. At this occasion the children have a surprise party for them and Mr. Santry announces that Dick is to receive the farm. Dr. Grey and Olive announced their engagement then.

JUNIOR PLAY LENA RIVERS This delightful play presented to you by the junior class of 1952 was written by Ned Alberts. The story deals with the plight of young Lena Rivers and her beloved Granny Nichols, who are compel! to leave their New England home and seek refuge with Granny Nichols’ son, John, who has changed the fam: name of Nichols to Livingstone because of the social aspirations of his dominating wife, Matilda. Arrivj in Kentucky where the Livingstones have a large plantation, Lena and her grandmother are subject to these of treatment that is usually handed out to poor relations. Mrs. Livingstone insists that her husband’s if atives live in a small room which formerly house servants, and she and her daughter, Caroline tremble wil fear at the thought of their wealthy friends’ reactions to the awkward country girl and Granny Nichols. But all turns out well in the end when our heroine’s sterling character is proved.

The setting was the throne room in the palace of the king of Someland about a thousand years ago. A witch’s curse introduces, to the women, blue jeans, which seems to change them into men. Life is unpleasant for the men for ten years, as they can’t find their women in the sea of blue jeans that floods the kingdom of Someland. The men, however, use a little trickery of their own and succeed in getting the women to re- turn to dresses and to them.

CHORUS The chcrus, composed of 92 members, has made rapid progress this year under the direction of Mr. Franz and Mr. Dunn. Mr. Dunn joined the faculty at the second semester when Mr. Franz left Coopersville to go into the insurance business in Grand Rapids. During the year the chorus presented concerts on December 13 and March 14. They also made a tour of the Hudsonville, Sparta, and Fremont schools on March 13. This tour was made to promote better relations between the schools. LIBRARY STAFF Seated: A. Czinder, Miss Dalrymple, J. Kreai, S. Sheridan, R. Walker. Standing: R. Molyneux, L. Kirkbride, J. Breen.

Each class and several other different organizations made floats for the big parade preceding the game Mary Park, our drum majorette, led the band which was followed by the floats and snake dance, composed of the rest of the student body. Our queen, Sally Baldus, was chosen by the students. Her court included the following girls: Frances Vormittag, Barbara VanderZyl, Bobbie Whitman, Barbara Buway, Carolyn Nordwall, and Barbara Aney. Sally chose Ron Barkel as king and the court’s escorts were Arlyn Shook, Bob Bartz, Dick Herrinton, Dick TerAvest, Tom McLenithan, and Jim Butli. After the game the alumni sponsored a dance at which Ron was crowned king and the boys pinned corsages on the girls. PEP CLUB First row: B. VenderZyl, F. Vcrmittag, Miss Larson. P. Fricke, C.

The officers are as follows: President Frances Vormittag; Vice President, Barbara VanderZyl; Secretary, Phyllis Fricke. The Pep Club, sponsored by the Student Council, is primarily'for the purpose of creating better sportsmanship among students and schools. Anyone can become a member who has sixth hour free and has at least a “C” average. Cheerleaders are automatically members. The Pep Club and the band were in charge of the Home-coming of 1951. The entire affair was most successful and was enjoyed by all. The responsibility of seeing that all pep assemblies are planned by the various home rooms is another duty of the club. Also, election of cheerleaders each spring is directed by the Pep Club. Although fewer meetings have been held this year, in comparison with the daily meetings of last year, much more has been accomplished during this past football and basketball season.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS The “little amazons” of Coopersville High School, are everything the name im- plies. Under the experienced coaching of Miss Streeter, the team has had a very successful year. Although given little credit, other schools well remember their speed and team work as they chalked-up 7 victories to 1 loss. Although it’s the forwards that score, the guards, Barbara Buway (captain), Norma VanderZyl, Mary Lee Rozeboom. Barbara Grasman, Kay Jensen, and Donna Mergener, have shown their expert guarding by keeping the opposing teams down to five baskets per game, on an average. The forwards Barbara VanderZyl, Beverly Henning, Effie Lou Ball, Lois Groen- ink, Diana Gordon, and Nelvie Meerman have really shown their ability by totaling 202 points to 103 points of the opposing teams. This, in itself, shows how well the team has played. The games and scores are as follows: Hudsonville Kent City Comstock Sparta Hudsonville Kent City Comstock Sparta 11 9 10 27 13 4 17 11 Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville Coopersville 28 28 16 12 24 34 21 40 Coopersville is proud of the coach and her “little amazons”, and can undoubtedly say that it is the best team Coopersville has had. With a strong defense and fast- playing offense, they have completed a good year, which will long be remembered, especially by the Seniors, who believe that basketball should not be passed up by any girl with athletic ability. To the Seniors—we’re sorry to see you go, and we’ll miss you on our team next year. The managers are Donna Leiffers and Louise Streeter. AUTOGRAPHS First row: J. Anderson, D. Plant, G. Taylor, B.

FOOTBALL Coach Layton greeted a small squad of hopefuls when football practice started last fall. There were several returning letter-men, and the team was well-stocked with spirit and determination. All in all, things looked pretty bright for the coming campaign. Ccopersville Wins First Home Game The Broncos got off to a good start in their 1951 season by gaining revenge over Whitehall 25-0. The local team was in command all the way. Taylor scored the first touchdown, taking a Whitehall kick and returning it all the way. TerAvest added the extra point from placement. The other three touchdowns were turned in by Busman on long runs through the center of the line. The C-ville line played one of its best games of the entire season by holding Whitehall scoreless and keeping the speedy backs well in check. Broncos Drub Kent City The Broncos opened their league play by defeating Kent City 32-6. It looked bad for Coopersville in the starting moments of the game. Kent City scored on the first play. But the Broncos came back hard and ran straight down the field for the first tally. Titus looked good, making two of the touchdowns. Grootenhuis and Potgeter each scored one TD and TerAvest kicked two extra points. After taking the first two games, the Broncos looked like they were in for a good season. Comstock Park Defeats C. H. S. After C’ville held Comstock Park to a 12-0 lead for three-quarters, the Panthers finally let loose, intercepting two passes and blocking a punt for four tallies in the final period. The Broncos played hard against a good team for three periods, but everything just seemed to fall apart in the fourth period. Although the score was one-sided, the Broncos had played a much better game than the score showed. C'ville Bows to Sparta Everything about the Home-coming night was a huge success except the foot- ball game. Although outplayed most of the way, Soarta went home with a 19-6 victory under its belt. The Broncos led in the first downs 18-11, but couldn’t seem to push across the goal line. The only C’ville marker came in the final period when Busman plunged over from the 4-vard line for the touchdown. Broncos Defeat Red Flannels 33-13 The third victory of the season was with Cedar Springs. Three touchdowns were scored within a few minutes of the play. The Broncos were the first to hit pay-dirt with Grootenhuis going around end making a good 6 points. On a run- back the Flannels scored, tieing the score. The extra point was good, making it 7-6 for the Flannels. The Broncos led at the half with Busman and Arends making touchdowns. This brought the score up to 19-7. Arends made the extra point. The Flannels made the score 19-13 with a pass touchdown. After that the Broncos made the final score 33-13 with Busman and Titus scoring. Both extra points were good. Kelloggsville versus C. H. S. Kelloggsville defeated C’ville here 20-6 on a slippery, muddy field October 17. Coopersville’s only touchdown was made by “Whitev” Busman in the third Quarter. The Broncos again showed their superiority on the ground by gaining ten first downs to the visitor’s five. Ionia Defeats C. H. S. On Friday, October 25. the Broncos travelled to Ionia only to go down to defeat 21-6. Although outweighed by a big margin both in the line and backfield, the C’ville squad scored the first touchdown of the game in the first Quarter, with Arends going over from the five-yard line. The score remained the same during the rest of the period. Then. Ionia got their defense going and there was no stopping them. One Bronco touchdown by Titus was nullified by a penalty. Broncos Defeal Eagles 39-7 The last game of the season was played at Hudsonville under very unusual con- ditions. There was plenty of snow to combat. The Broncos seemed to be more spirited in this game than ever before. They started off fast. In the first quarter Grootenhuis raced 50 yards for a touchdown, TerAvest kicking the extra point. Titus scampered 35 yards for another one. The extra point was no good. In the second quarter the Broncos scored twice with Busman and Grootenhuis. The score at the half was 26-0. Van Noord scored for the Eagles in the 3rd period. Grootenhuis came right back for the longest run of the game, 75 yards. Arends made the last score with a plunge over the center. TerAvest made good the extra point. The Broncos enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning four and losing four games, and ending up in third in the league. Two members of the team were selected to the Ken-Owa League All-Star Team. They were Dick TerAvest and Marv Bouwkmap. Bob Arends and Bob Bartz were elected honorary captains by their teammates. Jack Titus was selected as the most improved player on the team. SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL Tcp row: C. Hollinshead. L. Porter, D. Lowing, W. Reister, P. Bleckley, D. Stevens, W. McAuley. Second row: J.

MILESTONES The 1951-1952 school year marks the accomplishment of several goals. For some years the school has been putting forth every effort possible to raise its standards to a point where it would be fully accredited by all three of the accrediting agencies, namely; the University of Michigan, The College Agreement Group and the North Central Association. Coopersville High School has been accredited by the Univers- ity of Michigan for years and has been subject to inspection by that institution periodically. This year the school was inspected and approved for a period of three years, the longest period of approval given to any school. A letter March 21 from Lawrence E. Vredevoe, Director. Bureau of School Service, University of Michigan states in part, “At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee cf the Bureau of School Services, Coopersville was approved for accreditation by the University of Michigan for a three year period beginning July 1, 1952 and expiring June 30, 1955. The next inspection will come in 1955. On January 14 Leon S- Waskin of the Department of Public Instruction and chair- man of Michigan Secondary School-College Agreement Committee informed the school that it had been examined and its application for membership has been ap- proved. His letter states further, “Therefore, so long as you continue to meet the conditions of the agreement, it will be possible for you to recommend your graduates without regard to the sequence of subjects pursued, for admission to the colleges which have signed the agreement.” The third, and probably the most outstanding accomplishment, is the acceptance of the school in the North Central Association. This goal was reached after months, and even years, of effort, and following an inspection of the school, both elementary and high school, from top to bottom, by a group of five men who spent an entire day at the job. Official notice of the association’s approval came to the school on Aoril 4. Bene- fits derived from membership in the North Central Association are; first, any grad- uate of this high school may enter any college in Michigan, or outside of Michigan without taking entrance examinations. That advantage benefits only a few but the second and greater benefit is the one that all students receive due to higher standards. Most of the improvements of the last 4 years that have been brought about are due largely to increased revenues from various sources, but primarily from tuition and state aid. To be more specific, the actual improvements that have been made that make this new accrediting possible, are: All teachers of the entire system have degrees. All high school teachers have at least college minors in the subjects they teach and in most cases majors. The library has been improved with an expenditure of more than SI000 a year for four years and the hiring of a qualified, college trained librarian. Old furniture, some more than 40 years old, and equipment has been replaced. At least half of all the school furniture and equipment is new. The broadening of the curriculum has included many new courses to care for the individual differences of students. They are: International Relations Sociology World History Mechanical Drawing Advanced Shorthand Office Practice and Machines Forensic Art Band Chorus Farm Shop Orientation Business Arithmetic In addition to the new courses other services have been expanded or improved. A part time counsellor has been employed. Many extra-curricular activities and clubs have been promoted to occupy the students’ out-of-school hours. Supt. A. Robinson VARSITY BASKETBALL First Row: G.

BASKETBALL — VARSITY There was a large turn-out for starting berths on this year’s team. Arlyn Shook and John Grootenhuis were the only boys returning from last year who played -egular Rounding out the starting team were Paul Smoes at center. Jay Veldman at forward, and Rolen Pfahler at guard. Lowell Kelly was the manager. The team went to the District Tournament at South High School in Grand Rap- ids only to be defeated by Godwin Heights. That ended a rather dismal season for the Broncos, winning only three games. Since there were only three seniors on the entire squad, many of the boys will return next year to carry the colors for Coop- ersville.

BASEBALL The baseball season opened this year with several returning lettermen. There were returning men for every position except for pitchers. As the season pro- gressed pitchers developed until we had a strong pitching staff built around these starting pitchers: John Grootenhuis, Dick Laug, and Gay Grossenbacher. The returning lettermen for the other positions are as follows: Rob Arends, first base: Gilbert Gordon, second base; Bill Potgeter. third base; Bob Langlois, outfield; Jim Buth, outfield; John Grootenhuis, infield; and Gay Grossenbacher, shortstop. The schedule this year was one of the hardest played because of the larger schools scheduled. . . The first game was played in Grand Haven with John Grootenhuis pitching. The game was very closely played even though we came out on the short end of the score, 4 to 0. The second game was played at Marsh Field in Muskegon. We battled them on even terms for the first five innings until the sixth inning when they exploded for three runs which was enough to win the game, 6 to 3.

A customer is the most important person ever in this store—in person, by mail, or on the telephone. A customer is not dependent on us—it is we who are dependent on him. A customer is not an interruption of our work—he is the purpose of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him—he is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so. A customer is not an outsider to our business—he is a vital part of it. A customer is not a cold statistic—he is a flesh-and-blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own — along with some biases and prejudices. A customer is not someone to argue or match wits with. Nobody ever won an argument with a customer. A customer is a person who brings us his wants. It is our job to handle them profitably to him and to ourselves. ❖ ❖ ❖ 4 f 4 4 4 ❖ T 4 T t Compliments of KASTELIN BAKERY Phone 35 QUALITY BAKED GOODS Coopersville, Michigan ►j� ♦ ♦ � 3 «3 • ♦ «3 • ♦ • « � 3« j« 3 3 3� 3� 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ♦3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 H.
