ZENITH — 1988 — Vol. 64 Coopersville High School • 198 East Street • Coopersville, Ml 49404 MONOPOLY “We’ve Got It All We've got it all at CHS. A visible landmark for miles around, the water tower draws peo- ple to the school grounds. The building is clearly seen from East Street as we drive up the service road. Upon entering the lobby, the focus of attention is the floor design. Donated by the Class of 1959, tradition is to avoid stepping on any portion. Students who violate tradition scrub the area with a toothbrush. No- ticed on many students is the class ring. It is evident that at Cooper- sville — “We’ve Got It All! “Monopoly” is a registered trademark of Parker Brothers. The name Monopoly and other items associated with the game are used with gracious permission of Parker Brothers.

Sheila now works at a Grand Haven jewelers and also at Leigh Products Rick is continuing his studies at Michigan State University. ✓ Mr and Mrs Carl Goosen preside as Grand Marshalls of the parade Active supporter of Coopersville Schools in many ways. Mrs Goosen was rec ogmzed for her many years of teach mg When asked how she felt about her pending, year-end retirement, this beloved teacher responded. I'm look mg forward to it because it will bring new experiences Homecoming 5 Homecoming trans- formed school into a whirl- wind of excitement. The usually drab halls became festive and a special as- sembly resulted in fierce class competition. In the end, the juniors won the hall decorating and the sopho- mores walked away with first place in the pep as- sembly portion. At the end of the week, the seniors ac- cumulated 175 points, the juniors 155, the sopho- mores 150, and the fresh- men 105. As she diligently painted Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, tumor Tammi Peck secretly wished her own Fairy God- mother would tree her from this drudgery and take her to her own Prince Charming. If the notion is to be true from one of many decorations on the tumor hall, Mother Dalmatian says to Father Dal- matian. You and me and baby make three! Only 98 more to go! Senior Paula VanKempen has always liked to experiment. She got her chance during homecoming when she discovered this unique way to paint 6 Homecoming After spirit jug money was counted and the juniors were declared winners, they got to take the seats Because the seniors came in second, they got to throw the pies Here we see Matt Stel- les happily obliging Mrs Koch when she said.

I don't know We don't know what Mickey Mouse (Michele Barkman) is saying to Donald Duck (Dawnae Jarka) Mr. Goosen didn't know, either, but he was strain- ing his ear to hear what was being said Seems Messrs Veldman and Trowbridge, along with Aaron Am- brose and Teresa Omlor couldn't care less Homecoming 7 - SENIORS i CLASS OF “88” Despite Clouds Overhead Bronco Spirits Shine Brightly Disneyworld, the theme for homecoming, was a success. This fantasy world” brought back childhood thoughts to all. The parade fea- tured Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and many other Disney favorites which brought happy memories for young and old. Dog-gone! Look what took 1st place! Seems the sophomores aren't in the doghouse when coming up with the prize What does Pluto have to say about the tierce competition? Roof! Roof! At the beginning of the parade Kelley Rossman and Barb Fortin display the '87 theme A special magic pervaded the parade while dark clouds sprinkled a few drops but failed to wash away the hard work which went into making the parade a real treat for everyone. Andy Karala leads the band with a great big smile With such leadership, members of the band should make good music together 10 Homecoming Kim Switink leads Sarah Szyszko and Jody Both along the route to remind everyone that magical things happen at midnight. Unfortunately for the Broncos, the magic of the night was in favor of the Zeeland Chix as they de- feated us in the homecoming game 23 to 6 Blaine DeYoung and the mysterious green-garbed gremlin lay the tracks for Cinderella and Prince Charming (otherwise known as Wendy Worpel and Mike Smith). Careful. Prince Charming The glass slipper goes on her foot, not in your mouth! Spirited members of the tumor powder puff team rally together to strut their stuff As Bubba (Kim Lillibridge) ets out a resounding roar. Lynn Cantu wonders if all this raucous is really required. Maintaining tradition, FFA members Rick Lothschutz. Missy Allan, and Russ Rasch display the FFA float dur- ing the parade This year marks the 50th anniversary of the FFA Chapter at Coopersville No wonder these guys are outstanding in their field! Homecoming 11 Underclass Reps, Exchange Students Float Through Never, Never Land Heavy-duty responsibilities fall upon the underclass rep- resentatives and exchange students as they represent their respective classes and native countries. By their in- volvement in school activities and enthusiastic participation in everything, these few per- sonify the characteristics of the best in their class. Our visitors from afar received a special “Welcome to America! We’re glad you’re here!” as they paraded through town. From the respective classes we see freshmen Daryl Johnson with Nikki Potts, juniors Tim Wurm beside Staci Baker, and sophomores Jon VerBeek next to Dena Evans. Daryl Johnson and Nikki Potts look to the on lookers as they begin their pa- rade through Coopersville While the players get ready for the game. Jon VerBeek and Staci Baker prepare to watch the field Of course celebrities need to acknowledge their adulating fans, and so chatting with Karen VanderSloot comes naturally Turning the corner and heading downtown.

Ann Louise Lindell. Juan Galvez. Gabi Blumel. Geraldine Aseron. and Crete Dahle From varied parts of the world, these stu dents became a real integral part of CHS Homecoming 13 Dreams Come True The culmination of Homecoming week was the football game. Al- though we lost to Zee- land, the stars shined during half-time. The band gave another enjoy- able show and, to crown the evening, the royalty was presented. Rain sprinkled intermittently but the Broncos put forth another fight for victory. A new twist for the dance was to hold it on Sat- urday. To conclude the week a game, parade, and dance, combined for pleasant memories “When you wish upon a star.” Rushing onto the field through the column of Bronco fans. Rick {12) Reens. John (75) Haan. and Paul (80) Bialas lead the way for their team- mates. Bringing the fans to their feet. Band members ignite spirit as they perform the school fight song during the game.

Rick Finkler and Queen. Sheila Fritz down to Bob Serba and Regina Riplo immediately in front of them The action is about to come to a screeching halt for Kevin Rolfe as the tackle is executed This was but one of several times when 6 points for a touchdown were sooo close but al- ways just beyond our grasp Try as hard as we did. the scoreboard was not in our favor at game's end Homecoming 15 16 Homecoming Disney Lands on CHS Emotions are hard to control The long wait is over; the mystery is now known Doug Maurer gives a congrat- ulatory hug to Bob Serba as loud ap- plause from the stands cheer the new- ly-announced king. Long live the King! Long live friendship! To fire students up for Homecoming events, the annual bonfire warmed the spirits of the Broncos A ball of fire slid down the invisible wire, the dry timbers quickly ignited, and the chill of the evening was quickly dispelled Everyone recognizes Mickey Mouse. Donald Duck, Athlete Mickey, and Cheer- leader Minnie Few. however, knew who the real people in the costumes were Wonder no longer; your annual staff knows and tells all. From left to right we actually have Tina Post, Kale Miller.

Jim Banka. Dave VanKempen. Mike VanDyke. Traci Wibert. Pete Crum. Keith Mankel. Alex Meyer. Steve Hill, and Chad Doane Homecoming ‘87’ was a pleasurable experience which we will long re- member. Hall decora- tions, noon events, the spirited pep assembly, the parade which just barely beat the rain, and so much more all com- bined to make a mem- orable week. Many thanks to all who made Disney’s visit to Cooper- sville so pleasant. Homecoming 17 With it being our senior year there are many things happening — things that will bring about many memories. Hopefully as everyone graduates, they’ll take the time to remember the good times they had during their senior year: memories of their class of “88” picture out on the football field, class meetings, homecoming, the senior play, and. most important of all, their graduation day. Good luck to all of you in the class of “88” and have a fun-filled future. 1) At least some of the seniors look like they know what they're doing. 2) Aaron Ambrose is trying to et into pictures by imitating arnest! He'll need to practice a little more though to make it to Hollywood. 3) Mary Jo Gunkel doesn't like to have her picture taken. 4) Look Robb, they're going to take our picture. Try to hide the pain and smile. (Doug Maurer and Robb Odejewski) 5) I don't want to be here anymore than you do, sighs Micki Meyer. 18 Seniors Seniors President Chad Jones Vice President Aaron Ambrose Secretary Michele Barkman Treasurer Matt Steffes Historian Ann Lemmen Advisor Mrs. LeMieux Seniors 19 Melissa Allan Eileen Armock Iv Geraldine Aseron Michele Barkman Dale Austin Kimberly Bartlett Joey Baker Jeanme Becker Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Aaron Ambrose Joe Armock Douglas Banka Terri Berends Andrew Bereza David Bos Randall Bosman Billie Jo Brown Brett Best John Bos Aaron Bouchard Scott Bruesch Paul Bialas Gabriele Blumel Steven Bos Angela Bosch Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight James Buist Paul Cbesnutt Jennifer Closs Todd Bursma Cindy Burton Curtis Cumberworth Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Grete Dahle Joseph Denson Russell Cady William De Witt i Christine Essex Sue Frtsbie Juan Galvez Dustin Gardner Therese Finkier Tracy Gilson Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Michael Haisma Dawn Hamilton Sonya Gustin M Terete Harms Melissa Heckel Chris Haasjes John Harms Heidi Hecksel Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Karen Hecksel Sara Hecksel Susan Holleman Dawnae Jarka Kevin Hecksel Roger Hoolsema Chad Jones ' Mathew Hopwood Lori Jonio Steve Jager Teresa Kalaher Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Lon Klein Ciki Knippertz Paul Ledford Rae Ann Lee Bridget Kenyon Ann Lemmen Tammy Langeland Ann Louise Lmdell Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Kim Losey Patrick Maivtlle Jaime Maxwell Alison Mayeaux Scott McCue Molly McLaughlin Lynann Lowe Steven Luke Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Scott Meendertng Cathryn Miller Kristine Munger Rebecca Nash Jennifer Noppert Matthew Nottingham Rhonda Michalak David Molewyk Christina Murphy Robbey Odejewski Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Teresa Omlor Timothy Poley Ann Powers Bridget Reagan 1QB Diana Peffer Jodi Pemn Mindy Plumpton Tim Rasch Bobi Jo Rebentisch Richard Reens Theodore Reinertson Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Michael Rohen Heather Schmidt Kevin Schulte Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Vincent Undor Joseph VanDyke Paula VanKempen W Michael VanderSchuur Jodi Westveld Karen VanderSloot Wendy Worpel Seniors without photograph: Craig Cook Tony Comer Dawn Curtis Kathy Engleman Michele Naurocki Jeffrey Roberts Dawn Swanson Dean VerSluys Nineteen Hundred Eighty-eight Words can't say how much we miss you In the time you've been away Or tell of all the tears we've shed Or the heartache we feel each day. It's so lonely here without you, Ciki, Our lives are not the same. But we can thank Our Lord and Savior that you're happy. Free from pain. God saw you were getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put His arms around you And whispered, Ciki, come with Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A healthy heart stopped beating; God put it safe at rest Just to prove to us He takes only the best!

School Day Memories As we reach out our hand The diploma we grasp. While we think of the memories Of the years in the past. Tears fill our eyes Because it’s all gone, We re starting a new life, We have to move on. We hope friends will keep in touch As the years pass us by, Although it hurts inside We'll try not to cry. We think of kindergarten And our first day, Now we’ve reached the end We are going away. How do we say good-by To friends who mean so much? Will there be time To sincerely keep in touch? You 'll always have the memories Of your school years from day one, Don’t think of school as ending — Think a new life has begun. — Author unknown Class Song: “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds 34 Seniors 84- 85 Are they alive? I’m sure this question was running through the minds of many upperclass- men back in 1984. As we entered the halls of CHS for the first time, reality hit us right between the eyes. We were no longer ‘‘cool” eighth graders who once ruled the junior high. Now we were whimps, the bot- tom of the totem pole, the dreaded freshmen. We had a lot of growing up to do! Our first high school fes- tivities began with home- coming. We voted Lori Klein and Bob Serba as our rep- resentatives. Soon we learned proper etiquette at pep assemblies, who the man with the loud voice and wild tie to go with it was (Mr. Boeskool), and how to maneuver through the chaos in the cafeteria. 85- 86 We’ve learned all the tricks. Well — we did it. We survived our freshman year! We were finally getting into the swing of things. Our confidence was building. We began to take part in activities and showed our enthusiasm by winning the class spirit competition. We experienced our sec- ond fun-filled homecoming. Kristi Munger and Mike Smith were our represent- atives. Receiving our class rings was a big deal. We proceeded to flaunt them every chance we had. We were official “high schoolers! By the end of the year we had the detention system down pat, had discovered what the a la carte line was all about, and had become licensed drivers. 86- 87 Is this heaven? Well, as usual, another summer had flown by and we were upperclassmen. But was this all it's cracked up to be? We soon found out that as juniors there was a lot of opportunity to get involved. There were homecoming, junior play, prom, annual staff, National Honor Soci- ety, powder puff football, and much more. There also was catching some z's in American History, partaking in some compulsive note- passing, and remembering the week-end Tracy Gil- son's parents were out of town. With the fall came an- other homecoming. Regina Riplo and Ivan Egan were our representatives. Prom was a success. The music left a little to be desired but seeing everyone spruced up and getting a break from the monotony of every-day high school life was a great cause to party. All this was worth the hu- miliation of asking complete strangers if they wanted to buy a summer sausage. There was havoc on the field when our junior girls met the enemy, the seniors. We all experienced anxiety attacks as we rambled onto the field. Despite the hours of practice under our belts, the seniors had previous game experience. We knew we had our work cut out for us. Unfortunately, due to the prejudice of several ref- erees, we lost by one touch- down. Better luck next year? 87-88 It was great! We were seniors. We fi- nally accomplished what we set out to do four years ear- lier. The highlight of our fall was honoring Regina Riplo and Bob Serba as Home- coming Royalty. The fairytale theme was a great setting for what was to be the beginning of the end of our short era. Soon it was powder puff season again and this time we had the experience. We planned to take full advan- tage of it. Surprisingly, it was harder than we antic- ipated. But, as fate would have it, the best team won and we were celebrating. As we were ordering our graduation announcements, caps and gowns, the thought that graduation would soon become reality began to sink in. In the spring the juniors threw a great prom. Seni- oritis became highly conta- gious. The weekends be- came our only source of relief. We were beginning to make another change. Our days of playing kiss or kill on the playground, having assigned seats, and watch- ing the Brady Bunch were behind us now. It was time to grow up. Over the past four years the Class of '88 has ex- perienced many changes. We’ve made friends and we've lost friends. We’ve gone through the frustration of being an adolescent in an adult world. And we've tried to understand a little bit more about who we are and why we re here. Now it’s time for us to find out what life's all about. It’s time to move on and go our own way. With us we ll take the memories of what we were and look forward to what we shall become. So to those who remain we say, “Enjoy it while it lasts!

From the isolated hall and look of surprise on Chris Murphy’s face, should we not wonder if she's up to no good?

We at CHS have learned a lot about other cultures, lan- guages, and traditions from our visiting confi- dants. We hope their visit to America and CHS has been as enjoyable to them as it was to us. Ciki Knippertz Nelkenstr. 104 4050 Monchengladbach West Germany What do I like about the U S.A. so far? The people here in America are so friendly, helpful, and outgoing The time is going by so fast here I can't believe it. I know now that I will miss all the people especially my host fam- ily very much when I have to leave But I know for sure I will come back — someday What are some fears I had about coming to America’ When I first left the plane I was afraid of meeting my new family. What would they look like? I was wondering if I could really stay in America for one year without getting homesick Now I can say I am very happy to have the possibility to be here. Q ' Grete Dahle Box 70 4301 Sandnes NORWAY Before I came to the United States everybody gave me advice about how it would be But I discovered a totally different USA My host family is |ust fantastic and I love CHS (students in- cluded). Everything here is different from my home. There is school spirit. The peo- ple are friendlier and more open- minded. I could have mentioned other things, too But. in closing. I will say to you: You have a great country and CHS is a very nice school. Be proud of it! 60 Senior Exchange Students Ann-Louise Lindell Bastemansbacken 2 57200 Oskarshamn SWEDEN What do I like about the U.S.A. and CHS? I think I like the United States so much because most of the people are very open and friendly. I think the school also has lots of good things. For one. the days are rather short You can choose most of the classes by yourself There are lot of sports to participate in for those who want to The school spirit here is really nice. That is something I wish we had more of back home. I'm glad now that I finally took the chance to come over here Even though it is hard to leave everything behind you for a whole year. I am sure this will be one of my best experiences I ever had Juan Galvez General Segura 2 Almeria 04001 Spain My name is JUAN GALVEZ. Yes. like the number one!' Se- riously. however, the first time I heard about this opportunity to be an exchange student for a whole year in the United States I thought. This has to be great . but not for me! The reason I thought that way is that I had never been out of my house for longer than fifteen Geraldine Aseron, Blk. 14 Lot 20 Dasdasan Street. Midtown Subd. Marikina Metro Manila Philippines Before school started I was re- ally scared. I did not know if the people in school would like me. I was scared of being alone and not having anyone to talk to. Now the fear is gone, the CHS people had been very friendly, and when I have a problem a lot of people Gabriele BlOmel Wallbergstr. 15 8034 Germermg W. Germany First something about my fam- ily in Germany I nave two sisters at the ages of nineteen and twen ty-one and. of course, my parents. I get along with them very well but I wanted to get out of the family for a little while Thus, our relationship gets more like friends and not like parents and child. This is one rea- son why I am here now days. Also. I had to consider the peo- ple of the different country. Will they accept me? Will they understand me About this last question I still wonder Nevertheless, it is a good question still. Additional fears I had were about the host family because a critical fac- tor to the success of this program is to integrate foreigner with host. Now. however, months into my being here. I thank God and I am very happy with them. I anticipated suffering home- sickness Fortunately, for me that has not been the difficulty I expected it would be More difficult for me is my fondness for my girlfriend whom I miss so very much. But that is a personal problem. seem to want to help me. I have more fun here than in my old school. I'm really glad I'm here! As'eroo Another is that I wanted to get to know another culture. I wasn't very frightened about this year It seemed to be a nice dream. I didn't make any imaginations about it so I couldn't be disappointed Sometimes I become homesick. But it's not too bad because my host family treats me like a family member and I love them very much Many people have asked me which country I like better: Germany or the United States? I can't answer this question because 1st I don’t know the U S. well enough, and 2nd I am used to my way of living after almost 18 years, so it is hard to change it Anyway, here I am! I assure you I have no regrets to be here. If I should be asked about coming back I would happily come back here to America. If that possibility were to become a re- ality. then I would have the opportunity to see. meet, and become acquainted with many new things that, were I to remain in Spam. I would be unable to see and do. So much for thinking about maybe. I hope the remainder of my stay here will be as good as it is possible for me to be. I like to imagine it will be even better than I think it might be! Thanks CHS. With love. yWK Cxiklttr School in Germany is totally dif- ferent from school in the U S. The only thing I can tell now is that I and many other European exchange students think school in the U S. is easier than in Europe but there is also more com- munity spirit. This year will be a good experience for me and I will never forget it. I am learning a lot even if it's only how much my family means to me! Senior Exchange Students 61 The junior class of 1989 started the year with a calendar and jew- elry sale to help kick off the prom fundraising. Although the girls were defeated 8-6 in the pow- der-puff game, their spirits didn’t let the loss show. It was hard for them to believe their junior year was finally here and that they would soon be sponsoring prom. What was really hard to believe was that in just a short year, they would at last be seniors! 1) Kelly Gilson had a late night last night. 2) Lori Aheam and Angie Rosel love to ham it up in front of the camera. 3) Maureen McKnighl poses with her buddy, the school mascot. 4) The juniors speak softly at assemblies. 5) Kim Hazekamp helps make the junior hall 1 again. 62 Juniors Juniors President Glenn LeMieux Vice President Fred lacovoni Secretary Staci Baker Treasurer Angie Rosel Historian Kris Etheridge Advisor Mr. Kilpatrick Lori Ahearn Men Albrecht Cory Alters Jeff Alters Mindy Alt Jim Anderson Scott Babcock Scott Baiema Staci Baker Crystal Baldus Showing oft their junior charm.

For three years in a row the Broncos have finished with a winning record. This year the Broncos finished with a 5-4 re- cord; 4-3 in the OK Gold league. The 4-3 record is the first win- ning season in the OK Gold and placed the Broncos third in the final standings. I would like to thank the seni- ors for all the time and their commitment to our program for the past four years. You are true champions that first believed and then achieved our goals.

Players and coaches both deserve to be proud of the season. With the wins over Forest Hills Northern and South Christian, the JVs did something no other Cooper- sville team had ever done: walked away victorious!

The season got off to a slow, discouraaing start as we lost our first four games but happily finished on a winning note, that left us feeling pos- itive about next year's season. More importantly, each player improved as the season progressed. We can honestly say that each individual player gained experience and learned to play as a unified team. We hope these men will de- velop skills as students and will further their athletic abil- ities to their full potential.

The obvious objective is to win. The dif- ficulty lies in knowing how. The problem with tennis is that you can’t get close enough to see what’s really happening on the court. Even from afar, however, our girls look good Don’t they? Sports 135 The time in the class- room was interesting but involvement in assorted organizations made school worth the while.

The Senior Advisory meets about six times during the years as needed to oversee the many aspects of the year's ac- tivities: class video, giving of gag gifts, selection of speakers for graduation and baccalau- reate to name but a few. Acting as a link between the faculty and the senior class, with combined effort of this group many necessary tasks are completed more efficient- ly.

Graduates who choose not to go to college have access to classes there and it’s free until you turn 21. Transportation is even available from the high school. This pro- gram is a great option for many students through- out the community. Just beyond those doors lies the bus to transport the morning students to the Careerline Tech Center.

Coopersville’s SADD Program (Students Against Driving Drunk) is beginning its fourth of- ficial year. While we were one of the first 25 to par- ticipate, over 100 schools are now involved within the state. SADD events are planned close to prom and graduation to help promote safety by reducing the number of drinking-related acci- dents. With the financial support of Student Coun- cil, numerous activities will be organized to com- municate the absolute necessity for safe driving habits. The love-note Amy Musselman could be writing could very well be the sobering thought that will prevent someone from driving while under the Influence. And a Child Shall Lead Them Student Leadership Forum brings together students within the coun- ty for the chance to ex- change ideas, communi- cate projects, and share thoughts that are of mu- tual concern. It is these students who tend to be the leaders within the ac- ademic community. Any one of them could well be the next president.

The problems fall into the broad categories of sci- ence and art. While there are limitations for solving the problems, generally the most creative solution is considered the best. Students work on the problems in teams of five to seven members. All teams compete in the re- gional level. The top three in each region compete at the state level and the first place from state partici- pates in the world level competition. Coopersville has devel- oped a keen interest and eagerly awaits this year's competition. We might even succeed in building a better mousetrap.

Senior Will 159 Faculty is similar to “facility'’ which means making a hard task eas- ier. At Coopersville, “faculty’’ includes jani- tors, aides, secretaries, bus drivers, cooks, teachers, and board of education. These adults all in separate ways make life easier for the students. For all they do — for the many thanks they never receive — it’s easy to see why we’re glad to work with these people. For all you do, these thanks are for you! 1) Looking like he really knows what he's doing, Mr. Arthur has fooled everyone. But, be- ing a librarian, that's a likely story. 2) Mr. Hall and Donna Bennink laugh over the latest bus hor- ror stories as they prepare for an away game. 3) Gretchen Norman pauses for a moment in her continual labor to keep CHS ship-shape. 4) Mr. Zoet, Mr. Vissers. Mrs. Cunningham, and Mrs. LeMieux join Mr. Busman in celebrating his 60th birthday. 5) Mrs. Schoenborn and senior Terri Kalaher demonstrate their friendship for our camera. 160 Faculty Faculty President Mr. John Hilton Vice President Mrs. Shirley Draft Secretary Mrs. Mary Millard Treasurer Mr. Dean Heath Trustee Mr. James Busman Trustee Mr. Roily Groenink Trustee Mr. John Mills We Present: The Leaders of the Pack The most important thing I've learned from the students is to keep things in perspective.

My most embarrassing moment at CHS was finding that my woodshop class (many years ago) had nailed shut a box in which we had stored molds. This time — a student was inside the box! The principal walked in just as I discovered what was going on. Dean of Students Assistant to High School Principal Mr. Jerry Goosen Mrs. Lois Koch Secretary My most embarrassing moment at CHS was when I walked into Mr Haan's class and he told me to stand up so he could see me. Paul Bialas told the class that I was the only one at church to sit on a booster chair. The important things I learn from the students are to be kept confidential.

I was able to view student activities with a wider scops and became involved with each. As a senior I understand the importance of the yearbook. It holds a year’s worth of memories to look back upon in the coming years. The 1988 Zenith staff worked hard at producing a yearbook that would serve as a reminder to the time spent at CHS. We made a few changes and did things A _ a little bit differently with the hope of creating a more effective book. The staff put in a great deal of time and effort. Our Monopoly theme expresses the thought that as students at CHS we are rich in wfw opportunities. There are many things we can take a part in and become active. These opportunities become more valuable I to us as our high school days come to an end. • L It is my wish that the underclassmen take advantage of what's available to fthem and be active members of Coopersville High School. And to my fellow seniors, I % V wish you success in all you strive to achieve. Live your f lives to the fullest. Sincerely, ‘ Michele ? 216 Closing • □ TAYLOR
