And you. And anyone who will take His gift of l eauty and strength. It is a land of sprawling grandeur capped by soaring peaks and washed cleat) by gentle brooks, raging streams and broad rivers that flow to the oceans. From California to the rockbound coast of Maine, from sweeping fields of Georgia cotton to waving strands of Kansas wheat, from factories belching smoke in Pennsylvania to derricks pumping oil in Texas, this land is mine. Exciting names from old lands dot the map of my land. And exotic Indian names tell of the early men who claimed the land as theirs. Names like Wisconsin, Ohio, Dakota and Minnesota. This state is mine. Where the winds of winter sweep across the land and soft snow turns the landscape to dazzling white. Indian summers change leaves to brilliant colors under red skies as ducks fly through the Autumn sunset. The Mississippi trickles out of the rocks of the North to become the mightiest of rivers, while lakes give testimony that this is the “land of sky blue waters.” The pioneers of my state gave their cities names of hope and faith and desire for the future. Names like Bcmidji, New Ulm, Minnetonka, Golden Valley and New Hope. 3 Lay me on an anvil, 0 God 4 T 6 i 1 i l 4 1 i � 56P! SS8%s Gayle Tutila expresses surprise and ecstasy as she is announced as the 1966 queen of Frosty Frolics. Snow Week is the major activity of the winter months at CHS, for which a snowball fight, snow sculpting, and a tobogganing party arc held.

Stage Manager: No. The saints and poets, maybe—they do some. Our Town by Thornton Wilder While the CHS student body is definitely, not saintly, there may he a few poets among the 18(X) for most young people seem to have a knack of getting the most out of life and of enjoying it to the fullest extent. Every moment of their busy day is filled with some type of activity, l e it working, studying, or playing. The seven hours which they spend at school each day constitute the largest part of their week. During the six class periods new vistas are constantly opened, discoveries made, and lessons learned. At 2:40 students dash to meetings, trudge to practice, or leave for the many extra-curricular activities which Cooper offers. But a teenager’s life is not only five days and the whirlwind of activity does not end with the culmination of the school week, for the next two days hold more fun and excitement. A young person is also concerned with what is going on in his world. To Ite “in,” one must wear “poor l oy” sweaters, and corduroy jeans, like Ford Mustangs, and dance a combination of the frug and watusi. For a teenager’s world is his own and only he can he a part of it. Yes, this life is mine. But in reality, how many ever pause to think about what a privilege it js to live? Do human Iteings ever realize what a joy it is just to he? Maybe some saints do, maybe some poets do, and maybe some at Cooper do. Maybe. 7 Time-Life Photo Events of the year (clockwise) included the continuing war in Viet Nam and the many wounded Americans; Mrs. Gandhi Itccanic the new leader of the vast millions in India when Premier Shastri died; the hig hit of the music world for teenagers was the singing of Sonny and Cher; the Minnesota Twins rewarded loyal fans with an American league championship hut lost to the LA Dodgers in seven games. I The voter emancipation of the American Negro continued as Northern students went South to help in the mass drives. The March of Events Continues It came by way of radio and television. Newsreels at the movies made ns more aware. We beard it in the classrooms and our textbooks told us what had been before. The significance lay in the fact that we were a part of these happenings. 'rite great events of ’66 will Itc part of our children’s history atid social lesson. Though hut a small part of history, these events drew notice from around the world; they drew our notice. When the Russians made a soft landing on the moon, the world took plenty of notice. The planet Venus became a target for Russian missiles and the hammei and sickle that graced space gave evidence of their victory. Prolonged fighting in Viet Nam made peace look more distant than ever. Thousands of additional troops were sent to try for the peace that the world prayed. The distance between France and the U.S. increased when DcGaulle let his feelings turn toward the aggressive communist Chinese. News came of the death of Premier Shastri of India. Mrs. Indira Gandhi was elected to his office and India stepped into the flow of history under a woman leader. Ill feelings toward the U.S. echoed from the Dominican Republic. American troops sent to quell the uprisings there were met with scorn by groups of “Yankee Go Home” demonstrators. The draft call seen during the past year remained the highest since the Korean War and many Cooper grads answered the military call. Pope Paul emerged as the first pontiff to visit the Western Hemisphere. Putting aside all convention, he addressed the United Nations. Some events were never heard about. The significant ones will be long remembered. We arc part of history. Ra inr«« Week Photo Gemini VI put a man outside the capsule to float freely in space, attached by a golden thread to the mothership. 9 During the winter season, pacing the halls keeps track members in shape for the field outside. Handling notecards, two debaters compare ideas and exchangt impressions. All-important gestures give life to a scene and spirit to the play. Perfection Has Its High Price Practice is making use of one’s time and energy in striving for excellence, for something better than the status quo. In the true sense, practice means long, hard hours of work—hours when a person wishes he or she could be anywhere else or doing anything different. Often, this search for perfection demands dedication beyond the call of duty: cinderman may be forced to toil up and down the halls long after the rest of the team has gone if he hopes to take first place. A play cast may he required to spend nights and weekends rehearsing for a performance. A debate team must spend precious time in libraries doing research. But then, after the long hours and hard work, the pinnacles finally are reached. The cinderman may set an all-time record as he takes place; the cast experiences a thrill as they hear the applause from a standing-room-only audience; the debaters swell with pride as they hear “. . . and Cooper, 1st place. Then, too, there arc those who don’t gain what they seek—maybe they don’t place at all or even make the team, maybe every performance is a flop and plays to half-empty houses. But, still every try, every attempt, even if it fails, leads a person to new knowledge, gives him new insights, and lets him know he did his best. All those successful and not-so-success-ful have worked hard, but they know many rewards —through practice. II With an eye to the page and an ear to the sound, clioir members strive for perfect blend. K+i Weekends Bring a Whirlwind of Pleasures The thought and concentration that make up a Cooper student’s school week doesn’t go unrewarded, Friday signals the beginning of a welcome occurrence—the weekend. It signifies the time for social activities, for a release from the past week’s built-up tensions, and for a renewal of spiritual bonds. Crowds gather for Friday night’s basketball game to cheer their team and to exhibit enthusiasm for their school. After the game and some time spent with friends, a night’s rest paves the way for a new day. A vigorous release into a world of action is a true characteristic of a Saturday afternoon. For many it means a part-time job, work around the house, an afternoon with friends, or a visit to downtown Minneapolis for a shopping spree or some library research. Hidden in Saturday night is the true spirit of the weekend in the form of a dance with a terrific new band playing, a new movie that the critics raved about, or a parly that includes all the nicest and most fun to be with people. Families are brought closer together in church and Sunday reflects this significance in the strenghtening of family ties it brings. Monday, for some casts a grim shadow on the rest of the week, but there is always the glorious weekend, symbol of relaxation and freedom. 12 On Saturday there is always something to Ik- done around home. So, Larry shovels the walk and docs other odd jobs around the house. Seconds lick away as the Firday night basketball game nears its end. The big game seems to start the weekend fun. Spiritual activity provides stimulation, encouragement, and strength. Like most young people, Larry spends time Sunday morning in worship of his God. A “night on the town offers the chance to take in the latest movie. The Terrace is the convenient local movie theater. The weekend passes and the cycle begins again. Students arrive by car, bus and walking to work their way toward another weekend. 13 Intricate steps make up one of the latest new dances for some snappy team members. It shore do feel good ta git gussied up once in a while. Cliding through a romantic setting, couples dreamily hear the sounds of song. 14 Precision accounts for many of the most exciting and enjoyable dances of today. Hey! Do You Wanna Dance? Yeah man! Like dancin’s always been one of the greatest kicks of all time. Ya can tell how a guy or gal’s feelin’ just by the way she dances. Take for an example, no, the kid that’s real hung on things. Now, He ain’t gonna dance like he got no cares— lie’s gonna look gloomy or like maybe he’s about a million light years way out gettin’ away from it all. It’s Sort of what my English teacher calls an “emotional catharsis.” And, boy, when ya feel wild, can ya ever let loose! Dancin’s creative like that. Lookin’ at a group’s dancin’ steps is like readin’ their minds and findin’ out all about their lives. Whadaya say about these characters? Do I wanna dance? Man, like you just know it! The excitement of the evening is worth all the preparation that went into it. 15 Many dances at Cooper give students a chance to “cut up” and reveal their true selves. Excitement Mounts for the Day of the Game The day of the game is a grueling test, the climax of each player’s drive toward Ins particular goal. Each athlete must wade through a day of anxiety to cap his efforts with a victory or with defeat. Only through the eyes of an active participant can the full impact of the day of the game he felt. Neither the otherwise relaxing atmosphere of friends nor the measure of pride which comes from escorting a pretty princess can dissolve the feeling of concern each player has as he waits for his crowning hour. With expectation and exertion that final hour comes . . . and goes. Jovially kidding with sonic friends, Jeff Butch walk into rhool to Atari the nervous wait. 16 He escorts a princess at the pepfett. Tension mounts as he waits in class. Diving in to make the tackle, Busch (63) plays the lough same against Red Wing. The parade is over, the game has been In t and the end has come to the day of the game. Intramural football wa� capped as the winning league team tool: on the faculty flag team and defeated them 27-26. Don Ahlberg, one of the faculty stars, tries to elude student defenders. Part Time Players Have Fun in Their Own Way One of the fall events was an all school tennis tournament. Not all Cooper students can participate in interschool athletics because of school load, jobs or just because girls aren't allowed to play tackle football. So they become part time players. A part time player may l e an athlete who is getting in shape for the coming season, a girl who likes to keep active and trim or just some guy who likes basketball but can’t quite play well enough for the varsity squads. They all profit from the full and varied activities offered through the intramural program. The fall season saw' flag football flourish with a team led by Bruce Dormanen winning out and then defeating a faculty squad 27-26. Tennis for both boys and girls also gave many student athletes a chance to work out tenseness in fruitful activity. Basketball and volleyball were the main winter sports while softball, tennis a limtied track were all part of the program offered the students of Cooper High School. Always active, always moving, those students l e-came part time players. 18 Bouncer Bruce tries to shoot over the defensive maneuvers of Dunker Dan Nielsen during an intramural game. Sometimes its better to l e .i part time player, for it allows for a bit more of cut-up time anti horseplay. So part-time basketball players can make like wrestlers with imaginary powerful bodies. It Peaceful reverie accompanies bookstore display case. a stop at the Of course. it s practically impossible to concentrate all the time. A steady hand and a keen eye keep the physical character alive. Some students get absorbed in their work and lose all consciousness of time and place. Concentration Heaps Rewards It lakes something to l e one of the better students, one of the Isetter athletes. In fact., to l� c one of the better anything it takes determination, drive, and concentration. Dwell on that last word for a moment or two. How unnoticeable it may seem to we who are students. It is part of everyday we are in school and for those observant and heedful who practice it faithfully, there is the l enefit of a bounteous reward. In class after class we witness the strange communication between an individual and his mind, known in our high school world as concentration. Sports minded students know what that extra measure of alertness can mean to a team bent on winning. A misjudged movement and the game is over, leaving l ewil(lerinen( where victory might have l� ecn. We liecome so unaware of our own concentration that it's hard to l clicve how great a part of our day it really is. Like a flower, we water it and it sprouts leaves which we imagine as a cap and gown and finally a bit of a bud shows through and blooms. Good grades and a good team. Is that all we benefit from this, this concentration? The masses say no and I say no and I am the masses of Cooper. The coach's advice keeps a player aware of details and ready for action. The intensity of concentration has a great effect on the outcome of the game. A momentary lapse can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Keeping an eye on the situation gives a man confidence in himself and in his girl. Perhaps, at times, two eyes would be more sufficient. 21 Satisfaction received after many hours of demanding labor is the peak of any assignment. Tile setting, even to a pair of skilled hands, becomes a challenging task. 22 Self-appraisal is a satisfying help in the creative art of oil painting. Even people of the female variety get a chance to apply their skill in technical theatre. Ingenuity Inspires Moments of Creation Man is the creator of many things, things that express their makers emotions or purpose in originality, force, ami impression. There are one or many spec ial moments in the act of creation when the artist experiences a true feeling of putting a part of himself into a work, of giving to others or fwrhaps just to himself some unexplainable thing that may last an instant or a lifetime. A l oy writing an essay may feel a special sense of accomplishment as he realizes his endeavor will relay his own personal feelings to others, perhaps changing their opinions or bringing them to action. A girl putting some minute detaiL into an abstract painting may perceive a reflection of herself that she had never seen Itefore. An actor reciting a character’s lines in his own interpretation may Ite aware of his audience’s deep involvement in his performance and sense their appreciation. Everyone at sometime lias had such a creative feeling. even in just deciding what stitch to use on a dress-in-the-making or what size Itoard to employ in a prop for the fall musical. It’s a feeling that makes a person conscious of his own ability and sensitivity—a Moment of Creation. 23 Curriculum 26 Superiiitendent Leroy Hood Principal: Mr. Lyndon Ulrich Assistant Principals: Mr. Elmer Kemppainen and Mr. George Scarbrough Dr. Hood Assumes Position of District 281 Head Cooper High Welds Strong Union of Knowledge and Leadership Sail on, 0 Ship of State! Sail on, 0 Union, strong and great! Humanity with all its fears. With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate. —Long fellow As my land, a land that is strong and great, must have its leaders, so too, must a great school have its leaders. As Mr. E. J. Cooper retired in 1965. Dr. Leroy Hood ljecamc the new superintendent of the sprawling District 281. As a chief of state must have his assistants. Dr. Howl needed the competent and concentrated efforts of Mr. Lyndon Ulrich, principal of Cooper Senior High School. A nation is composed of many states with powers of their own. Mr. Ulrich’s position also had its divisions and helpers as Mr. Elmer Kempainnen and Mr. George Scarbrough assisted in the administrative duties. New members join the union to weld a strong force of a nation and a dozen new faculty members joined the union of CHS to weld a force of intelligence and knowledge. A powerful nation and a modem school find their strength through innovation and discovery. Closed-circuit TV underwent experimentation and key punch machines and computers became part of the curriculum. So as the ship of state sails on. Cooper High moved to new shores and to new seas. A new leader, new faculty members, and new methods were only part of a struggle to make ! ctter my part of the universe. This school is mine. Much time and effort was put forth by the administration to successfully operate E. Jf. Cooper High School. 27 Students listen attentively and take notes as Mr. Bclden talks to his American history class. Social Department: Mr. Nord, Mr. Boeddeker, Mr. Welter, Mr. Driver, Mr. Thiegs. Mr. Millierg, Student Teacher Mr. Cerads. and Mr. Schwen. Under the direction of Mr. Tom Schwen and Mr. Tom Trippett, Students listen as Mr. Shaff tells of his Southern experiences with Negro the Social Department presented The South in ’ 55—A Closed voter registration. Society. 28 Ours is a world of nations, varying types of government. different traditions, and changing human resources. With this in mind, social studies classes developed thoughts and ideas toward past ami present national problems. Social Sees Political Problems To the tune of “We Shall Overcome , theme of the Civil Rights movement, the Social Studies Department presented. “The South in '65—A Closed Society in which Mr. A1 Shaff told of his experiences while registering Negro voters in the South. n opportunity was then given to ask questions about the work. This year Mr. Mark Welter’s classes received a special course on the study of anthropology or the origin of races ami customs. A new textbook. The Emergence of Civilization, was used in the unit. Next year this is planned to become part of the World History Curriculum. Current events played an important part in Social Studies classes. Foreign policy was discussed and compared in history courses. Newspapers and magazines provided excellent topics for debate. World Affairs Club also met and studied the world situations for interested students. Following the adage lhat history repeals itself, students study the events of the day. 29 Social Department: Mr. Bcldcn, Mr. Root, Mr. Trautwein. Mr. Staples. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Ciabaugh, and Mr. Nelson. Mr. Ciabaugh explains the causes of the Civil War to an American history class. . . words. Why you can see five thousand years back in the light of words, everything we feel, think, know. . . share in words, so not a soul is in darkness.” This was used to describe English and the importance of good communication. English Studies Lit., Writing Audio visual aids were used by the English Department this year in employing new teaching techniques. -Three closed circuit television programs, “Evolution in American Poetry”, were presented by Mr. Al Shaft and Mr. David Cade in an attempt to motivate student interest and understanding of poetry. Team teaching was used during the unit in which the two classes met together. For the second year, sophomore English classes engaged in a nine week reading program. Reading books of all types and levels and writing reports constituted the unit. Each student then participated in four discussions of his own choice. CMS English students were not bound by the classroom in reading literature for they were given an opportunity to see “Macbeth” dramatized by the Guthrie actors. Notes arc taken as Mrs. Moore delivers a lecture. English Department: Mrs. Zabel, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Dvorak, Mrs. Moore, Mr. Sullivan, and Miss Peterson. English Department: Miss DeKonig, Miss Kludt, Mr. Shaft, Mr. Cade, and Mr. Swenson. 30 Team-leaching gave the classes of Mr. Shaft and Mr. Cade an extra ad antage during their poetry unit. Mrs. Zabcl illustrates her point by giving an example from a textbook. A student reveals his thoughts about Shakespeare in English class. Two English students add unusual effects to the reading of “Our Town during the drama unit. 31 The Humanities class is interrupted by one of many humorous comments. Why do we exist? Or is it tatter to live in peace and ignorance than to examine yourself thoroughly and find you aren’t quite as faultless as you think? Humanities Studies Existence 1 hese were some of the questions Mr. John Norton posed to his fourth and fifth hour Humanities classes. Books of all periods were discussed, from the ancient tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, to Archibald MacLcish’s modern drama, J.B. Students discovered they could not rely upon facts hut had to base their opinions on the theories of the great writers and philosophers. Fridays were designated to the study of art and music. Using the text An Introduction to Music and Art, slides of famous paintings and sculptors were examined and music of various eras was compared. In what class can you pretend you’re a tree and wear sweat shirts without being sent home? The class is drama and that code of dress became a familiar sight second hour. Drama Stresses Stage Work Can a typewriter or telephone ever come “alive?” It did to the drama class as inanimate objects were portrayed, creating a variety of intricate body motions and chortled sounds. An excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience and skills was given to class members as they participated in C 5oper’s expanded dramatic productions this year. Speech became one of the most humorous classes when satires of radio and television were given. Proper voice usage was illustrated with storytelling and character impersonations. “ . . . And then this guy with the pink suspenders . . . Students listen attentively as a speech is presented. Speech and Drama Department: Mr. Nickolatos ar Swanson. 33 Modern language labs facilitate student learning Profiting from some of the best possible equipment, Cooper students broadened their knowledge, of the world by studying French, German, Spanish and Latin. Languages Aid Knowledge The stress was placed more on the conversational than the written portion of the language. Accents were perfected in the two modem language laboratories where authentic speakers could l e heard in the separate booths and students could tape their own voices in order to hear their mistakes and improve their pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. Besides using textbooks, films, magazines, and other types of media were employed to give a greater insight into the language. Foreign Language Department: Mr. Ahrndt, Mi Swanson. Mr. Bchling, Mr. Daly, Mr . Voss and Mrs. Thompson 34 Spanish translations are explained by Mr. Daly Mr . Thompson listen attentively to class conversation Mr. Schell and ihe journalism class ponder over stories appearing in the next “Hawk’s Quill. 'Hie concise, informative, factual style of news writing and the free, flowing .self expressive verse are the subjects of journalism and creative writing. Writers Relate Minds’ Wealth Writing, studying, and criticizing the news formed the basis of journalism. Areas such as copyreading, interviewing, feature writing, and makeup were thoroughly studied. Other means of communication such as radio and television were also analyzed. This knowledge was put to use as students wrote for the HAWK’S QUILL and the NORTH HENNEPIN POST, under the direction of new advisor Mr. George Schell. The writing and editing of ROUNDELAY, Cooper’s literary magazine, was the task of Mr. Richard DeGuise’s Creative Writing class. The work was built around word meanings and images, descriptions, creating of mood, and the expression of thoughts. This involved the writing of personal essays, short stories, poems and free verse. Journalism and Creative Writing Teachers: Mr. DcGuise and Mr. Schell Material for “Roundelay is analyzed by Mr. DcGuise and members of the Creative Writing class. 35 Concentration and practice arc necessary requirements for orchestra rncnihcrs. With a voice of singing, with the sound of a trumpet, or with the bowing of a violin, CMS music students expressed. their talents in hand, choir, and orchestra. Obtaining a vast knowledge of rhythm and musical notation, the groups prepared for numerous concerts during the year. Under the direction of Mr. Harold Wildung, the choir was shown proper voice and breath control while using accuracy in pitch. Talents Developed in Music Hand members had an excellent opportunity to use their skills as they played at pep fests and games. Perfection and timing were stressed as they were led by Mr. Robert Mendenhall. Selections such as the “Sound of Music” were frequently heard sixth hour as the orchestra met and practised under Mr. Richard Saliny in preparation for Cooper's musical. 36 Ma«ic Department: Mr. Wildung, Mr. Mendenhall, and Mr. Satiny. Feet flat, hack straight, one 'and two and play. Art Department: Mr. Englin and Mr. Gilmer. Individualism i expressed in artist’s lie. A blank sheet-of paper, a paintbrush, or a hard mass of clay became the beginnings of a creative expression for the art student. Art Captures Expression Using devices as old as the potter’s wheel to the modern air brush technique, a variety of media was worked with. Many art forms were used from the simple stick figure to the complicated still life scene. Wire and mesh were twisted into bent, intricate shapes while plaster was formed into a smooth, graceful figure as all types of sculpture were explored. Time was spent on styles of lettering which proved very useful in making signs and posters. Commercial Art students were introduced to the materials and methods used by the artist in the fields of advertising and publishing. 37 Silent observer supervises class activities a-, students do letter work. Analyzing a bookkeeping problem taken much thought and lime. Business Education Department: Mr. Schroedcr, Mr. Helling, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Berg, and Mr . Pederson. With tho aid of new electric typewriters, CHS business students eagerly transcribe shorthand notes. With the aid of new equipment and curriculum, the CHS Business Education Department prepared business students for future vocations. A variety of useful skills and knowledge were employed through the 11 business courses taught at CHS. Business Offers Job Training An opportunity was given students to explore the world of business while they earned wages and school credits through the distributive and office education programs. Twenty business students were selected to participate in the program through interviews and type of work desired. One coordinator was appointed for each class as they planned student programs and training. The trainees were then graded by l oth the employer and classroom instructor. Sometimes permanent positions were given to students at their place of work after graduation. A variety of business skills were taught with the arrival of twenty eight electric typewriters, one additional IBM card punch machine, and an additional calculator and adding machine to the department. A new shorthand laboratory monitored by four tape recorders in the front of the room, was installed this year. The sound of the instructor’s voice was received over the earphones and could be regulated to five different speeds. Business Education Department: Mrs. Highland, Mr. Pemberton. Mrs. Hanson, and Mr. Bosshart. 38 Is this physical fitness in progress? ... One. two, three jump “or” On your mark, get set, go ...” were common phrases in physical education classes as activities ranging from square dancing to distance running were carried out to develop physical fitness. Gym Uses New Equipment With new athletic equipment available, CHS physical education classes engaged in a variety of sports. Gymnastics facilities such as high bars, parallel bars, and the trampoline were used by both boys and girls. Archery was introduced when the gym was turned into a shooting range with targets posted at one end. Other times nets were strung up as volleyball was played. When the weather was nice, figures clad in white could often be seen exercising upon the football field. The boys leaped over hurdles and bars while the girls concentrated on developing running skills. Many times the baseball fields were occupied as the classes participated in soft-ball or other organized games. The words “now swing your partner and promenade home” floated through the gym when both the boys and girls classes gathered together to square dance. Records provided the music for the unit which was designed to improve rhythmn and coordination. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Mr. Lunch never comes early in this claw. Johnson. Mr. Slensnid. Mrs. Hagen 39 A well-arranged library made book-hunting much easier. Library Serves Cooper Well 'I'lte library automatically became an important point of interest when reports and themes were assigned. The library is stocked with over 10,000 volumes, including encyclopedias and other reference Itooks, and volumes to he enjoyed. Throughout the year they received a good workout. The two librarians, Mrs. Delores Braun and Mrs. Barbara Nemer, were aided by students who relinquished their study halls to check out volumes, collect passes, and to replace the books on the shelves. The 30 student library assistants l clong to the Library Club. A variety of newspapers aim magazines was also provided for students who just wished to browse or for serious moments with research. Special rooms were also used for group meetings and quiet, concentrated study. Students aided the librarians at the check-out desk. Librarians: Mr . Braun and Mrs. Nemer. The library served as a place for quiet study. 40 One of the counselor ’ many duties was registering students for the ’66-'67 year. Students Aided by Counselors ACT. MSAT. Iowa .... These foreign phrases are only a few of the tests and scores that students quiz the counselors about. Through the guidance of these nine, very concerned people, students were helped to make the biggest decisions of their lives. They helped Cooper students to decide whether to quit school or continue on and graduate, attend college instead of a trade school, or to change classes or accept what they had. In addition to these varied duties, the counselors had the unending task of registering the sophomores and juniors for the 1966-1967 school year. Advice was not all that the counselors gave. They also offered information on schools, jobs, and the outlook of the future. These cheerfully performed duties helped to make the guidance office one of the most important aspects of a high school student’s career. 41 Miss Nixon helps a senior erase his doubts about higher education. Odors of formaldehyde and sulfur dioxide filled die third floor as CHS science students dissected frogs, created chemical reactions, observed molecular structure, and measured rates of acceleration. Science Stresses Practical Concepts Built upon the principles of unity, diversity, and continuity, a new biology curriculum was introduced this year emphasizing important concepts rather than isolated facts. Much work was done in the lab to supplement material in the book. New teaching techniques were used as classes were frequently split when studying a particular area. Although chemistry stressed atomic behavior and structure, many mathematical processes were also used. Slide rules became a necessary tool as various ratios were seen. Experiments were performed and written according to scientific methods. Physics proved to l c a very practical course especially to those interested in fields of engineering. Properties governing laws of matter and energy were established and put to use in classroom problems. Deep concentration, proper tools, and patience are necessary in performing a scientific experiment. Chemistry partners inquisitively ask themselves, “Arc you sure this is supposed to work? Physics students prove an experiment during a class lab by using a ripple tank. 42 Weights must be precise and every detail must be recorded for exact results. Mysteries of cellular life arc explored through the microscope. 43 Science Department: Mr. Snustad, Mr. Fredrickson. Mr. Knight, Mr. Sohn, Mr. Wallin, Mr. Marhula, Mr. Lusscnhop, and Mr. Threincn. Math Department: Mr. Smith. Mr. FJilen, Miss Bugge, Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Boric, Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Buffington. Sets, logarithms, tangents, and loci are a mathematicians language while protractors, compasses, and slide rules are his tools. From the time of Euclid to the age of modern computers, mathematics has been a useful study to man. Math Analyzes Number Sets Related to the antiquities of Greece, geometry is often taught via slides and pictures as a variety to course content. This year Teleleclure was used by Mr. David Bork in his classes. This device amplified conversations so that an entire group could hear them. For the second year, a new course. Integrated Math, was offered to provide an overall knowledge of math. A new electronic transistorized computer, designed to be a practical supplement to any math course, was received as a new addition to the CHS Math Department. Illustrating computer logic and arithmetic, it was especially important for the instruction of Advanced Math. Full scale computers at Control Data are also available for the class. Buttons arc pressed as the electronic computer goes to work. Now what was that question again, Mr. Buffington Willi the help of a compass and a protractor the secrets of geometry are unfolded. Miss Buggc explain a basic mathematical principle. Mathematics can often be used to solve problems in chemistry a demonstrated by Mr. Lutsenhop of the Science Department. Attentive listening is necessary to understand mathematics concepts. 45 Precision is a must for shop students. Industrial Arts Department: Mr. Bomstad, Mr. Cook, Mr. Newman. Mr. Seitz, and Mr. Youngren. The humming of saws, the clanging of metal, and the roaring of engines filled the first floor of Cooper as Industrial Art courses instilled useful skills. CHS Shop Offers Useful Skills Although a fee was charged in shop classes, the work and use of materials was well worth the money. Projects .concerning the principles of grinders, drill presses, and power saws were made in Machine Shop. An excellent background for fields of I ec-trical Engineering was gained in Electricity with the study of alternating currents and circuits. Architectural Drawing provided opportunity for originality and creativeness when students designed their own house plans.

There is much to he taken In heart as students delve into the rights and freedoms given to us by our forefathers. Like Divergent States Who Bind Together for Strength Classes Unite to Make a Better America and a Better Cooper In my land, one is not born into a social class but is given a chance to prove himself as an individual and as a citizen by bis own efforts and bis own attempts. One is not classified at birth and put into a distinct group but may progress or fall according to how hard he wants to exert himself. His successes or his failures depend upon the extent of his accomplishments, the time he takes, and the quality of his work. Hut a country must also have unity to succeed and it takes the efforts of individuals working together to reach this goal. So it is necessary for one to sacrifice and to give of himself occasionally to he a citizen of my land. Such is the case at CHS where a student may he both an individual and also a member of his particular class. Everyone is proud to he a senior, a junior, or a sophomore hut each knows that in order to build and to produce a fine school, he must he willing to work with the other classes and that only a friendly rivalry should exist. Ideas, traditions, and rules are formed with every student in mind. Classes are not given preference and everyone has an equal opportunity to participate to the extent lie cares. Hut individuals also have their place at Cooper High School. Captains, presidents, and scholars lead the Hawks on the field, at the meetings, and in the classrooms. These individuals are necessary to bond the students into a single, united body. Yes, my school is like my country, where people are given an opportunity to prove themselves both as individuals and as members of their society. 51 President Wade Liberator SENIOR CLASS CABINET: From Row: Davie , Mnnwaring, Ncl� on, Rad jk.

This held true for Cooper’s second graduating class as it forged ahead, making a notch in the ruler of high school life. With the combined qualities of leadership, scholarship, and thletic achievement, the class of ’66 put forth its finest efforts to present itself worthy of being a part of this, our land. In preparation for the denouement of their high school years, the seniors sought the advice of the counseling department in the categories of college preparation, scholarships, and future plans. Highlighting the entire high school social life was the prom and the senior train trip. Many obstacles were overcome and hours of hard work were put forth before they earned the right to become members of the working society. However, they acquired the riches of past experiences and memories which lighted the path toward the future with its many sacrifices and gains. They sang a song of remembrance, let a small hut meaningful sigh escape, perhaps shed a tear and then took the next step forward.

The glow of pride and a feeling of achievement were the prevailing emotions of the students acknowledged for their work.

They went through the grueling task of putting forth one’s utmost abilities and aptitude in order to meet and overcome the impediments and harriers of reaching maturity. A hard day’s work was done—finished completely and thoroughly. The first trial in life was past and the threads that linked them to childhood were severed. But their work was not done, for ahead of them a unique and different type of sun was rising. Its glow—red deep, and rich. Those who used its light as a guide gained wisdom and perception of life tiever known before. Each step taken was a milestone toward a goal.

They made their marks in athletics, cluhs, and other extracurricular activities. Registration for the ’66-’67 year prompted fast and important decisions. As seniors, they will he eligible for special classes, including distributive and office education, senior shorthand, advanced math, just to mention a few. Arrival of class rings, taking the Iowa and Minnesota Scholastic Aptitude tests, and officer elections highlighted the first semester. The second semester saw the planning of the Junior-senior prom, sponsored by the middleclass-men. Indeed it was a busy and profitable year for the class of ’67. Busy and profitable for the new seniors who went on to make Cooper “their school” as they led organizations, captained teams, and formed the spirit of a whole school.

A wider selection of courses and opportunities presented them a new challenge. As the year progressed and tenth-graders ltecame more acquainted with the various school functions, participation and school spirit increased. Many sophomores were active participants in the numerous clubs and activities new to them, such as homecoming for which students designed and constructed their own float. The selection of class rings in the spring was another highlight of the sophomore year. The Class of ’68, encouraged by officers they elected in December, contributed much during its first year at CHS.

But each year becomes a pace setter and each hoy who pulls on his suit is shooting for a new mark, a record to he broken or a point total to lie reached. Some Hawk squads just began to feel their prowess and ability in 1965-66. and others found that they still stood a year, or two years, or more from the top. Gymnastics squad members rolled to impressive scores and set records that will not soon he wiped from the hook, and yet they gave promise of greater heights for the future. Wrestling rolled on and had laurels placed on each boy's head, for who will soon forget the names of Engh, Ncrothin. Hanlon or Oldre? Swimming won big and made plans to win bigger as the relay team placed in the state. Some sports prepared for their days of glory and pride. No less did these young athletes strive for their pinnacles and the rewards of a winner.

The Hawks opened up the season without their speedy halfback Dave Nerothin, who missed about four games localise of an appendicitis operation. During the next few games many more Hawks were injured. They lost star fullback Ed Beduhn for a great deal of the season and also halfback Wade Liberator. Also out during the season were Joel Henderson, Jim Armstrong and Mike Wilhelm, who had an assortment of injuries. Cooper’s junior varsity squad ended its season by defeating Wayzata in its last game. It was an exciting game as the JV's came from behind in the second quarter and held on to win it. Though it was not a successful season for the Hawk gridders. many players received training that will make the 1966 team tougher in the Lake Conference.

Both the squads posted outstanding records as the B team went 9-2 and the “Chinese Plumbers’ were undefeated. Such standouts as Dale Wenholz, Greg Wanbaugh and Larry Baker ran through the Lake Conference losing but one match, that one to Kennedy in the first match of the season. Fridley’s loaded second squad dumped them on the last match of the season. The C squad was led by Bob Ellison and John Armstrong and ran up easy wins over ever)- team they faced. The highlight was the easy win gained over Fridley but the close decision over Robbinsdale also provided some happy moments.

Hawks Record Losing BB Mark Plagued by inconsistency, the Hawks “66” basketball squad finished the season with a 2-17 record. Though improved greatly over last season the Hawk’s were unable to play four continuous quarters of good basketball, as in many cases they were leading or very close at half time or even into the third quarter, only to see their chances disappear in the closing minutes, as in the first game against Hopkins, St. Louis Park, and Robbinsdale, and in sub-district play against Minnetonka. There were bright spots, however, as Darrell Nielsen finished the season with an 18-point average, and made the second team of the all-Lake Conference basketball squad. Larry Larson, senior guard, also had a fine season averaging 14 points a game and. along with Nielsen, led the Hawks to victories over Wayzata and Hopkins.

Sounds of Cooper High Echo the Sounds of America Kings and Queens and Sounds of Music Highlight Active Year The rapping of a gavel at a Student Council meeting, the rustling of a paper as members of World Affairs Club pour over the current magazines and newspapers, the bouncing of a basketball at a GAA game. These are the sounds of Cooper High School. Voices echoing through an empty auditorium as a cast practices for its opening night, typewriters clicking as annual and newspaper staffs work to meet approaching deadlines, a baton beating a tempo for a band preparing for its concert. These are the sounds of a busy high school. The roll of drums as a nervous princess is announced homecoming queen, the swish of wind rustling through the Coopcrette’s pom poms in the parade around the school, the rising fervor of the crowd waiting for the kickoff at the foot! all game. These are the sounds of homecoming. Whether it be the hushed whispers of conferring debaters or the banging of hammers and the buzzing of saws in the technical workshop, sounds, songs, and noises prevail at Cooper. These are the varied carols of my school. Industrious, loud, never-ending, the halls and rooms of CHS are always filled with activity. The sounds of America, the sounds of Cooper. All possess their own qualities, all belong—to the nation, to the school, to the individual. 123 124 Queen Julaync Radzak Sharon Ekstrom Laurie Buranen I.inda Jcronimus Sharon Pearson Julie Reigns, New Traditions Are Formed In a gala evening ceremony, Julie Radzak was crowned queen of Cooper High School’s first homecoming.

Frosty Frolics Fetes Winter The spirit of Frosty Frolics surrounded Cooper despite the chilly winter winds blowing outside. The spirit was far from chilly, though, as many fearless Cooper students braved the cold for hours of fun in the snow and in winter sports. The week began with a pepfest on Monday where Gayle Tutila was crowned Snow Queen with Jeff Busch as Snow King. With the royal court in attendance. King Jeff escorted Queen Gayle out of the gymnasium and into a week of frosty activities in the out-of-doors. The royal couple presided over the numerous activities that filled the week with fun. Frosty Frolics provided a variety of fun with something for everyone’s enjoyment. There was skating and broom hockey with competition between the classes. There was tobogganing for those who were braver, and snow sculpting for the more artistic and creative students. The week culminated with a well-attended sockhop as the High Spirits played for many CHS students and their guests. The name “High Spirits” fittingly descries the spirit of all who were present to end the week of winter fun at Cooper High. 128 During the Snow Week auditorium the Slusher drop kick? Carmel Coni ns. General Mills referees the match. A masterpiece of white won the snow sculpting contest for the Juniors. There’s no better way to celebrate Frosty Frolics than with a snow ball fight between the king and queen. ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH GRADE BAND Front Row: Brooks. B. Johnson. Reuchkc. Kimmeric.

Peek Musical, Concerts Top Orchestra Year Highlighting the 1965-66 activities for nemlrcrs of the orchestra, was the annual Spring Concert, which was held on April 21, following several weeks of intense practice. Early in April, the most talented soloists and ensembles wert sent to the District and then to the State Music Contest. Flic Cooper representatives were chosen by Mr. Saliny and Mr. Mendenhall from both the orchestra and hand. In addition to class participation, many of the students played for the musical, ‘The Sound of Music.” Under the direction of Mr. Richard Saliny, the members of the orchestra spent many hours practicing for these performances. Consisting mostly of string instruments, the orchestra is supplemented with band mem-l crs for some concerts. Dawn McNeal was named outstanding member of the orchestra in the spring as several others of the elite musical group also gained honors. Orchestra director Satiny waves a wand and there is music. 135 ,v The Sound of Music” Opens Cooper’s Second Dramatic Season In the |uiet cloister of Nonnbcrg Abbey Captain von Trapp anil Maria were married. Later Maria helped her family escape from the Nazi's into Switzerland. From the moment the curtain rose, Cooper’s auditorium was “alive with the ‘Sound of Music’”. It is the story of an incredible girl and her love for singing. Opening on November 11 and running for five performances on November 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20, the musical played for a sellout crowd. Maria, a young postulant who was not designed for life at the Abbey, is sent to the Von Trapp family as a governess. Captain von Trapp, a cold, lonely man, has closed his life to everything. Through Maria he rediscovers his children and the desire to sing. He finds lie loves Maria for the happiness she has brought him. The songs of Maria and the children, the shy romance of Liesel and Rolf, the moments when Maria and the Captain discover each other, and the wisdom, dignity, and compassion of the nuns all spell the enchantment of the story as the “Sound of Music” fills everyone’s heart. 136 Nun of the abbey chant the simple strains of “Alleluiah. The romance of Rolf and Licsl began with You Are Sixteen.

The play is set in the small village of Tobiki in Okinawa, which was skillfully recreated by Cooper’s technical crew. Frisby, a rather inefficient Army officer, has been sent to Tobiki to organize a democracy for the natives. Frisby is confronted with the problems of what to do with a Geisha girl, a village that wants more Geisha girls, how to set up a democracy and how to handle the cunning natives who insist that a democracy should allow them to have a teahouse with Geisha girls instead of a school if they want it. 138 Knocking politely.

A council that is busy planning Something Else Week and Powder Puff football games. It’s a group of kids washing windows to promote safe driving. It’s dynamic young leaders. It’s all of these things, but most of all, a student council is the voice of the students. In 1965-67 the Cooper Student Council was the guiding light for many activities. During the fall the council handled homeroom elections and the powderpuff football game. With the coming of spring, there was the planning of the campaigns for office for 1966-67. In order to receive their funds, the council make use of the l ookstore sales, student directories, sockhops, papermachines, and the profits from homecoming. Cooper’s representatives at interschool events were officers Laurie Buranen and Paul Wilson who were delegates to the Minnesota association of Student Councils. They served admirably as Cooper’s representatives to this state-wide association. 140 STUDENT COUNCIL BOARD OK DIRECTORS Johnson. Larson. Vraspir. Nielson, Wanbaugh, Manwaring, McPherson, Cameron.

Joyce helped her to become acquainted with the various aspects of American life. Learning to speak English was one of Evelyn’s biggest hut most enjoyable, tasks.

In an effort to help those who need aid. the organization split into two groups. The Junior Red Cross section sewed 80 friendship kits, and with the help of Cooper students, they were filled with essential items and sent to Vietnam. The friendship kits were only one of the Good Will projects performed by them during the year. Red Cross meetings were held approximately once a month when they worked on their projects. The second group consisted of girls who volunteered their time to work in a nursing home. After a short orientation, about 25 members began to work once a week helping the patients with minor tasks.

The members studied the different aspects of the teaching profession lycforc deciding whether or not to enter it themselves. When questions arose they consulted CHS teacher Mr. DeGuisc or a panel of elementary teachers. At their monthly meetings they also discussed their club constitution; this was an important subject because the group wished to make a clean break from the Rohhinsdale chapter. In the fall of the year some of the meml ers attended a statewide workshop at St. Cloud State College. In April, FTA, advised by Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Ehlen, sponsored a tea for all the teachers at Cooper, at which they were honored for their accomplishments.

They gave a demonstration to the sophomore class to show them the basic techniques and rules of debating. They also attended a workshop at the University of Minnesota. A guest from the American Forensic League, to which the Cooper orators belong, spoke to them. Debate was one of the most active and successful of the extracurricular organizations.

Speer CHS Girls Swim in Aqua Robins Beauty, precision and physical fitness were only a few of the “fringe benefits” which were gained by the meml ers of Aqua Robins. The girls began working during the summer months as weekly workshops conditioned and prepared them for the year. This work continued with many long hours of practice. The girls, under the direction of Mrs. Arne Johnson, strived tremendously hard to make the year a complete success. The Cooper and Robbinsdale girls climaxed the season with their colorful, annual Spring swim show. The year's activities included competition with various other area schools as well as participation in a community service project. The mcnil crs helped to distribute papers showing the necessity of additional swimming pools in the school district. Their efforts helped to pass that part of the bond issue. All of the practices and performances of the Aqua Robins were held in the Hosterman junior High pool. Practice is the only way to attain the necessary precision, the goal of Aqua Robins.

These remarks echoed through the gyms twice a week during the G.A.A. meetings. Members of Girls Athletic Association participated in a- variety of games including touch football, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Teams were chosen and they played against one another or against Robbinsdale's teams. Cooper’s program was broadened to introduce activities such as badminton and bowling. Other new events included the entries in the G.A.A. Lake Conference volleyball and badminton tournaments. Mrs. Hagen. G.A.A. advisor, initiated the point system by which members could earn their sweaters. 160 G.A.A. officer for l%5-66 wore Historian Margaret Johnson, President I.inda I.aub.

LA president Pam Konning presents the national charter to the organiza-I. FBLA Has Profitable Year Future Business Leaders of America had a busy and profitable year. The national constitution was adopted and its charter was accepted in Decemlier; this gave the club an official air about it. In Novemlter a hayride was well-attended. Two weeks later J. P. Harbison, a guest speaker. talked about the hiring of secretaries and salesmen for an interesting and informative meeting. Every other month meetings were held in the evening to accommodate those members who had to work. Late in the winter, the group sold Cooper decals to all CHS students. The funds were used to send a delegate to the national convention and to purchase a gift for the school. Also, the previous summer they sponsored a teen dance at-the Crystal Vulcan Frolics. FBLA was advised by Mrs. Margaret Berg and Mrs. Gail Highland; Pam Ronning was the president and Carol Windspergcr acted as vice-president. 161 ‘The year of the All-American” was the motto running through the Talons office this year as the staff attempted to better its 1965 First Class Rating. Under the leadership of Marcia Olson, the group worked to make the national theme one of beauty and grandeur. Debbie Sprangcrs assisted as editor while Kathy McNcely acted as Special Editor. Talons Highlights National Theme Debbie Sprangcrs and Kathy McNcely cheek copy before pages can be sent to publishers. National pictures were used to enhance the theme “This Land is Mine”, chosen to show man’s dedication to his native country. The red, white and blue colors further developed the idea that this was a patriotic theme. Much of the story of the year was told by getting away from the school to take shots of Cooper students as they went through the hectic pace of 1965-66. The close of the year for the staff came as Debbv Sprangcrs was named the new editor and staff members were rewarded at the publications banquet for their work.

To maintain their All-American rating gained in 1965, the staff of the Hank’s Quill worked even harder in their second year. Under the leadership of Mr. Schell, the new advisor, they participated in many journalism activities including numerous district and state clinics. Thanksgiving vacation provided time for editor Ralph Curtis to attend the Hawks Quill Strives for Excellence National Scholastic Press Association convention in Chicago. Three editors and staff members also made the trip. Concluding the year’s activities was a journalism banquet when new members were admitted to Quill and Scroll Society. Published bi-weekly, the paper was financed through activity fees and the ads placed by various area merchants. Though it held high ratings with national judging services, the greatest reward was the feeling that the Hawks Quill was the voice of the Cooper students.

It covers a vast continent from ocean to ocean and lies among the lakes and pines of the great Midwest. It is a state where a man builds a future of hope and faith and knowledge. It is a school, like Cooper High School, where students come and all too soon pass through the doors for the last time. I, too, shall go on to a new life. But, I shall carry with me the thought that this school is mine . . . this state is mine . . . THIS LAND IS MINE. . TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY hSJKh •- - .vo- s I'..--.- vc.,„ ....

Senior Favorites hold a special place in the feelings of seniors and students of Cooper High School. A high disregard for categories and real accomplishment goes into the vote as kids name the characters who made their high school years most enjoyable. Characters they were, too. From the loudest of the loud cheerleaders to the fluttering eye lashes of the biggest flirt in the school, they let the whole world know they were here. And they are here; here in the first proud issue of LOKO. mm is: IP1 ••• ••• •1 :::: Captain Dave and Queen Julie Fly as Senior Favorites Favorites Liked the most of all That s quite an honor for a guy or a girl to have the whole class say they like you best for all the ways you are and all the things you do The seniors said that about Dave Nerothin and Julie Radzak, two of the busiest and best of the whole bunch.

Laurie was a cheerleader, Student Council secretary, in National Honor, Y-Teens secretary, in Pep Club and on the class cabinet. Ralph was also very busy with the Rooter Club, the editorship of the Quill, National Honor president and three major dramatic productions. Ralph Curtis strikes an editor s pose in the print shop. Considered top scholars of the senior class of 1966 were Brian Cragg and Candy Baier. Not only scholars, they took part in many Cooper High School activities and gave to many causes. Brian was Captain of the swimming team which finished ninth in the state while Candy was the Homemaker of Tonorrow in a national contest that gave her a trip to Y ashington.
