Mr. Randall Mrs. Shank the COE program links instructions by training The Cooperative Education Program at Cooper provides a link between on-the-job training and in-school instruction. The coordinators of DE. OE, and T and I serve as a liaison between community businesses and the school. Students who participated in this program are generally released after morning classes to go to a job. The Trades and Industries course is new to the curriculum this year. It is designed for students interested in areas such as nursing and machines. Twenty-eight students participated. Also in this area of education but not included in the COE is the work-study program, a specially designed course for those achieving poorly in the traditional program.

Mr. DeGuise Mr. Billig propaganda techniques are required in classes Sophomore English students became aware of the impact of Greek literature by studying various works of that era. A few of the selections that comprised the theme of Heroes were' Greek mythology classics, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and T. W. White's version of King Arthur. A trip to the Academy Theater to view Camelot was a highlight for the sophomores. For the first time in connection with the study of propaganda techniques mock elections were held in large groups. Later, it was decided to utilize the elections to choose sophomore class officers. Many were dissatisfied with the results of this imitation election of functionaries.
