Text from Pages 1 - 256 of the 1988 volume:

w from Robb hen the last of their final exams were completed on June 3, euphoria emanated tobbinsdale Cooperdome High School. With their notes flung on the floor and lockers semi-cleaned, revelers burst out of thfe building like Twins fans to mark the beginning of their deserved three months of summer recess. During the 'haute' months, some worked to earn extra spending money, while others relaxed at home or traveled abroad in such stylish places as Europe, Montreal, and Korea. Favorite summer pastimes included splashing at the beach for a tan, shopping for fun and fab products in area malls, visiting Valley Fair; and in the immediate days before the inevitable return, the State Fair, too. With September around the corner, incoming sophomores anticipated attending high school, while returning upperclassmen looked forward to again seeing their friends. Not all students had to wait for September to return to school. Fall sports, such as volleyball, soccer, girls' tennis, and football, began practicing during the summer months. Not only did the fall athlotics-in-training start early, but also the Cooperettes and cheerleaders began kicks and body pyramids long before Labor Day. As the last sun-filled days and late nights elapsed, mod students frantically hit the department stores to purchase the latest trends and styles in fashion for the 1987-1988 school year.

Starting from that mid-August day that an envelope arrived labeled, To The Parents Of ..teenagers realized that school began in two-three weeks. Before they knew it. summer elapsed, marked by a last desperate Labor Day celebration. That last Monday of vacation, teens put away their copper-tone bottles and laid out their new Cooper-style clothes, because school was suddenly here. After the alarm clocks went off, sleepers prepared themselves for the first day back to school. With jeans fashionably ripped, hair gelled just so. and an air of anticipation, they were ready to start the year on an upbeat pace and a hip outlook. Leaving for the bus stop with plenty of time to spare, the student body arrived at Cooper and rushed inside to seek out familiar faces, talking fast, trying to summarize their summers within a few splashy sentences before the bolls rang, returning them to the reality of classes and homework. Opening — 5 DIFFERENT Schedules, teachers and policies greet returning upperclassmen. Both faculty members and students faced a change in the schedules as they started the school year. The replacement of the eight-period day with the seven period plus the changes during lunch hours, brought a sense of confusion. Puzzled students making their way to and from the cafeteria were commonplace during the month of September when the scheduling of each lunch period resulted in the overlapping of lunch passing times. Normalcy soon returned, however, as students grew accustomed to the changes. Minor adjustments along the way enabled them to adapt to the schedule. Bosides the change in the schedule, thirteen members joined the faculty, replacing staff who had retired or left the year before. The new teachers, with their own individual style, helped create a diversified curriculum. Tammy Buetow and Inta Gravitas, German teachers at Cooper, shared the duty of one teaching job by each holding a part time position. This enabled the German students to experience two different styles of teaching. Another adjustment concerned the student smoking policy, which decreased student smoking time to three minutes for each lunch period. The change was met with mixed reactions. Junior Scott Brown said. Though I like the policy in general. I'm afraid that students might smoke elsewhere in the building.'' Sophomore Troy Simpson disagreed, and thought that smoking lounges should be open longer during the school day. — Shortened lunch periods croato longor linos.

Opening — 7 TOGETHER Summer fades as relationships grow within RCHS social circles Although RCHS contained dynamically diverse groups of people with a potpourri of interests, there existed one common reason for which they enjoyed returning to school: friendship — RC style. Whether they became interested because of the sports, the arts, the academics, or their lunch half hour, friendships made the year special. In the hallways, commons, media center, or classes, friends could make a bad day better or a good day fantastic. Friendships added flair to Cooper's school spirit. Students rallied together at games and pep fests and worked within organizations to show that Hawk pride blazed alive and flourished. Athletics and the arts gave rea- son for friends to gather outside of regular school hours. These social activities not only encouraged new relationships to grow but also allowed the old friendships to continue. Some of the most popular extracurricular to meet new friends included the school dances. From the chilly October Homecoming until the sizzle of the Prom, the dance craze brought memories on the dance floor. Friends moved with style to the trendiest music. cheering on the weekend and celebrating with one another. No matter what RC activities teens participated in. the social events throughout the year gave them a chance to broaden their circle of friends along the way. 8 — Opening I Boyfriend and girlfriend Sean Hauser and Claire Rudolph possoss a special relationship that has grown since they met at Coopor. 1 - Forming a study group, seniors Jodi Johnston and Wendy Kohnon along with juniors Rachel Beaty and Angio Anderson take a broak from their homework to socialize.

Finally, the crov ns rested upon the heads of King Dave Bauman and Queen Debbie Idstrom. The Royal Court consisted of Ted Harrison, Craig Redepenning, Eric Skogrand, Joe Vogt, Mary Bernstrom, Maria Dimber-io, Nicole Fosse and Amy Johnson. In organizing the ceremony, the Homecoming Committee worked to create a more formal atmosphere by designating the day as dress up day. Students left their jeans at home and came to school in classy attire. Hosting the stylish Coronation were Jason Zeaman dressed in a tuxedo and Stephanie Hawes in a black dress. The Chamber Singers added to the style by appearing in emerald green, velvet, taffeta gowns and black tuxedos. They performed two numbers, Kiss Him Goodbye and Somewhere Out There. Other entertainment was provided by the orchestra which performed a medley from West Side Story. The Cooperettes danced to the song, The Race, from the musical.

Homocoming — 13 OPTIMISM Three days of festivities ignite Cooper's Homecoming spirit Throughout the 1987 Homecoming week, the Robbinsdale Cooper Hawks spirits soared. Teachers, Susan Bye, Wes Lindstrom, and Marion Lovell, along with students Jacque Waddington, Melanie Markovich, and Stephanie Hawes chaired the Homecoming planning committee. The festivities began on Monday with the sales of buttons that displayed the Homecoming slogan, Humble Hopkins. Tickets with the buttons enabled buyers to get into some of the week's activities at a reduced cost. On Wednesday, Nerd Day, homeroom volleyball and the brat feed took place after the early release of school. During this time, students also participated in the annual serf auction hold in the foyer. The highest bidder, Rick King, claimed his slaves for a day, Rachel Beaty and Teri Clifton, for twenty dollars. Gamblers arrived later that evening to take part in the Casino Night activities. Chuck-a-Luck and Black Jack tables took possession of the money that participants gambled in the hope of winning more. The bonfire wrapped up Wednesday's events with students gathered around the fire roasting marshmallows until the evening came to an end. The Homecoming spirit carried on through the week with the coronation on Thursday morning and the Battle of the Bands after school. Friday followed with the pepfest for the Homecoming football game that night. Although the Hawks had practiced for the game and had the fans cheering them on, they lost to the Hopkins Royals by a score of 28-7. 14 — Homecoming A 4 J Al tho pop lost, tho varsity football toam displays thoir enthusiasm before tho Homecoming game.

Homecoming — 15 16 — Feature WAKE UP Alarms ring early after summer, shocking sleepers out of bed Mornings are a time for yawning and grumbling, Why does school have to start so early anyway? ; but a notable difference can be seen in how the time is used by different people. After getting up at 5 a.m., cheerleaders arrive at school at 6:30 to practice cheers for games and pepfests. The music from the gym, where the danceline and silks practice their routines from tapes made by the band, echoes through the hallways. A few (very, very few) students come to school in the mornings to receive help on math or go to the media center to make last minute changes on a report. For the average girl at Cooper, curling their hair, putting on makeup, and deciding what outfit looks in vogue requires them to get up two hours before school starts; but for the average guy, getting ready for school doesn't mean a big ordeal. Senior Jason Scherschligt said, I get up at 6:30, take a shower, eat breakfast, read the comics, and leave at 7:05 for my bus. For some people, mornings seem to be more of a nightmare than just a nuisance. Pushing the sleep button on their alarm and jumping out of bed fifteen minutes before school starts occupies their mornings. Then, after taking a two-minute shower, they jump into their car and rush off to school. No matter what the morning routine consists of, the students must arrive at school by 7:30. — Jolf Molby greets the homerooms each day with the morning announcements.

Phil Darg returned to direct Joseph Kesseling's, Arsenic and Old Lace, a show he starred in seven years before on the Cooper stage. This time, the role of Teddy Brewster, who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, was played by Eric Rautio. Along with Rautio, Jason Scherschligt portrayed the eldest and most villainous of the Brewster brothers, while Scott Brown acted in the role of the only sane member of that household. Mortimer. Having the part of a set character was a nice change; I knew what was expected, and I could be creative with it, said senior, Eric Rautio. Working behind the scenes, the cast and tech crew of Arsenic and Old Lace spent considerable time and energy toward the production of the fall play. With only four weeks to construct the entire set, the tech crew had its work cut out for them. Wo had a difficult time attempting to build the set itself, and it would have been much easier if the actors weren't there,” said student director. Nolan Shackelford. Aside from movement coinciding with pounding hammers, the cast and crew were able to work around each other. With the props and costumes we had, it was easy for the actors and actresses to get into their roles, said Ted Hesse, junior. The two Brewster sisters, Abby and Martha, were played by senior, Mollie Stickney, and junior, Julie Mundale. Shannon Smith's portrayal of Jonathon's sidekick. Dr. Einstein. highlighted the show and encouraged the audience's laughter. FALL PLAY CAST: Front Row: D. Strootor, T. Merldo. K. Tossman. A. Rautio. Back Row: T. Hesso. U. Choin, E. Rautio. S. Brown.

Fall Play — 19 FRANTIC Blackouts, corpses, pin-ups typify backstage follies In the fall play, the job of student director took on a new angle for Ursula Choin. Besides organizing props, cueing lines, and assisting directors, Choin had to play the part of a dead body. During the musical's senior citizens show the lights backstage and on stage suddenly went out. While directors and technicians ran around. Chris Cook, a member of the lighting crew, observed, It was really weird, all of a sudden all the authority figures were around us, and then just as fast they all disappeared. On closing night of the musical, the lighting crew decided to play some practical jokes on the cast. Meredith McGrath discovered a pin-up had been mysteriously placed in her mop bucket. Volunteering their after school hours, the members of the musical orchestra from Once Upon A Mattress discovered that they would have to do more practicing than they wanted to. Connie Borman, junior, said, The score was really hard. It kept changing keys. Stan Hahn, technical director for both the fall play and musical, stayed after school on several occasions with the tech crew to supervise the building of the sets designed by Jeff Phillips. According to Hahn, the tech crew had its first injury award this year. The girl stepped on a nail, so we gave her the nail on a plaque, said Hahn. Although they have fun working to get a production on stage, the behind the scenes people aren't often recognized for their achievements. 20 — Bohind the Sconos — —- Aftor tho dosing oi tho musical, tho Once Upon a Mattress cast put in their required set strike hours.

Before a mixed audience of Cooper and Armstrong students, the cast performed their show on February 2 as a preliminary to the Region 6AA contest at Hopkins on February 6. Edina won the contest and Cooper tied for fifth place, although senior Melanie Markovich received a star for her performance as Agnes, an insecure woman who discovers the secret to winning any man's heart. Because the set didn't require much preparation, the three student directors, Jenni Adams, Chris Cook, and Heather Johnson easily handled the setting. The scenery required a desk, a chair, a lamp, and a pillar with the head of Apollo on it. The result pictured an office in the International Bu- reau of Investigations Inc., where the action occurred. The plot begins with Agnes, who is searching for a job. entering an office building intent on speaking with the President, played by Dave Streeter. On seeing her frustration once she is refused by the Clerk, Lonny Overby, one Man, played by Chris Holtz, offers her the secret to getting what she wants from any male: all she has to say is 'How handsome you are.' Though not winning at the festival, sophomore Traie Kumara, who played Chevredent, a bold, pessimistic secretary, reacted positively to the experience. ''With my role being a grouchy secretary and opposite of my personality, I was faced with a challenge. and challenges are always exciting.''

Qn November 23, the day after the fall play ended, the first informational meeting for the musical began. Frank Plut and Julia Rask combined to co-direct Once Upon A Mattress a musical adaptation of The Princess and the Pea. The Minstrel, Ted Hesse, opens the show with a song which explained that this mythical kingdom in 1428 is ruled over by a talkative, hated queen, played by Katy Tessman, and a mute king, characterized by Scott Brown. The King expressed himself by using pantomime and charades. The queen had decreed that no one shall wed until Prince Dauntless, portrayed by Eric Rautio. is married. Although many princesses have had auditions to marry Dauntless, the queen consistently invents impossible tests to discourage them. The plot is defined, and the story begins. Lady Larken, Laura Weinzetl, is pregnant. Sir Harry, played by Chris Harris. Larkens' lover, leaves the kingdom in order to find a princess for Dauntless to marry. Thus the entire village will be able to wed. He returns with Winnifred the Woebegone, Shannon Smith, whose home lies in the swamps. She eventually passes the queen's test and is able to marry Dauntless, but not without help from the Minstrel and the Jester, portrayed by Jon Hunt. Musical — 25 — Sir Harry.

Across the hall, the orchestra, under the direction of Roger Thompson, began tuning up for the whole show. Earlier, once the show was cast, rehearsals were held every day after school, but when performance time drew closer, the director, Julie Rask and Frank Plut intensified the rehearsals. The cast rehearsed weekends and on those days when school wasn't in session, all day. While the actors and actresses rehearsed, Stan Hahn, technical director, and his crew built the set designed by Jeff Phillips. The set consisted of elevations and a series of arches with the main colors being pink and crushed robin's egg blue to help create a fairytale atmosphere. The show opened to a full house of senior citizens at the special matinee performance. However, the cast worried as advance ticket sales for the evening performances seemed slower than past years. Many thought that the unfamiliar name and the pushed-up performance dates along with a lack of enough publicity contributed to a small audience opening night. As the word spread of the show's artistic success and its sheer enjoyment for audiences, ticket sales picked up. The remaining performances brought in a good audience. Jon Hunt who played the Jester said, When we had a bigger crowd, I was able to use the laughter of the audience to encourage me to add more to my performance.

BIRTHDAY Snow Daze greets E.J.'s 91st with presents and festivities lthough Snow Daze followed the tradition of including E.J.'s birthday celebration, that is where the similarities ended. The change from a week full of activities to just two days changed the name from Snow Week to Snow Daze and combined the coronation and pepfest into one. Snow Daze organizer Warren Clark said. The changes came about because there was a lack of student participation. The activities at the coronation-pepfest started with the introduction of the snow court which consisted of sophomores Joel Danko, Allison Mc-Courtney, Dan Keiser, Jeanne Fronczak; juniors Mark Cross, Heidi Wacholz. Ricardo King, Pat Tirokomos, Darrel Lindemann, Leslie Rausch, Randy Mikolai, Rachel Beatty, Nolan Shackelford, Meredith McGrath; seniors Eric Skogrand, Sara Maasch, Craig Redenpenning. Ruth Morris. Mark DeGidio, Mary Bern-strom, Devon Bradford, Maria Dimber-io and the crowning of Snow King Jon Hunt and Queen Mollie Stickney. Next, the Cooperettes performed their routine, which they had used in state competition, for the student body. Following the performance, the students sang Happy Birthday to E.J. The newly crowned King Jon then sang the Beatles song, Revolution with band members Chris Harris and Jason Osgood. To conclude the pepfest on a revolting note instead of the usual Big Mac eating contest, an Egg McMuffin eating contest was held. The contestants had to stuff Egg McMuffins into their mouths as quickly as possible. Snow Daze ended with the semi-formal Jack-of-Hearts dance sponsored by the Cooperettes and Silks, where traditionally the girls ask out the boys.

Staying up until one in the morning scribbling the last minute words for a paper, or finally getting to the books after practice, rehearsal or work, encompasses a few study styles. Yet, academics at RCHS encourages more than homework and academics. A concern for the social, emotional and intellectual well-being of Cooper students molds lifestyles.

There he was taught Physics Resources and Instructional Strategies for Motivating Students (PRISMS). PRISMS is mainly activity oriented and consists of three steps, said Barton. He used the three steps in teaching at Cooper. Step one was exploration. Teachers learned to have students discover the basic concepts on their own. Most of quarter one was spent this way: students dropped objects from lab tables to learn about the force of gravity; they did experiments in the foyer to leam vector addition, and they wheeled each other around on dynamic carts to leam the ideas of force and friction. Senior Bonnie Abel said, We didn't know exactly what results we were looking for, but we had fun trying! For the second step, concept development, Barton used lectures and introduced sample problems. In this manner, he covered Newton's three laws of motion. Finally, Barton arrived at step three: application. Physics students applied the concepts to rubber powered vehicle drag races and an egg drop. Cooper's Science Department also featured biology, chemistry, astronomy, and futures. Biology, taught by five teachers, consisted mainly of sophomores, but juniors and seniors took the course if they needed to fulfill their science requirements. Ecology and botany were covered in biology classes. The study of living things, plants and animals, involved dissecting crayfish, frogs, worms, and fish. Chemistry, on the other hand, introduced the basic concepts of matter. These concepts, which proved to be helpful throughout the course, filled numerous lectures in chemistry class. Although only two science credits were required, senior Lisa Olson took all eight. Olson said, I like science. I want to have a strong background in it because I plan to major in biology at college. � - Biology and chemistry teacher John Dono explains the food web to his biology class.

On the average, five to ten kids come in every hour, but the more the merrier. said Gretchen Wilhelm, math teacher. Computers in the Resource Center provide another area for future programmers to work. Math teacher. Wesley Lindstrom, said. The Math Resource Center is a positive place where students can receive help, and it’s more practical than a study hall. Lien shares feelings with others. Math seems impossible to them, at times. According to Lindstrom. the Re- source Center is aimed at people with these attitudes. To non-mathematicians the world of numbers, equations, and theories may not sound exciting; but for those who plan to use its benefits, the Math Department offers courses to fit anyone's needs. Geometry, algebra, and higher algebra lay the groundwork for trigonometry and calculus. Computer classes prepare students for tomorrow's growing field of mathematics. These classes teach programming skills and two types of computer language. Classes, including fundamentals of math, applied mathematics, and math for daily living review the basics of math for students who want a math background but don't need the complex math skills.

Interaction between cultures deemed necessary to live together on Earth Each person is a part of history. It can neither be avoided nor disregarded. From American history to economics, Robbins-dale Cooper's Social Department stressed the importance of knowing the past and keeping in touch with today. Andrew Hoffe. head of the Social Department and instructor in twelfth grade government, said, Social studies is necessary in life. Especially with the upcoming elections, the role as an American Citizen increases in importance. A high school social studies career begins with American history. The five instructors all agreed on the importance of the class, giving an overview of America from its early beginnings to modern days. Sophomore Michelle Krager. who had Steve Schmidt, liked learning about early America. I now better understand why people fled to this country, she said. After completing American history, juniors advanced to world area studies and Western civilizations. These classes increased the students' view of the world through studying Russia and the Western world in depth. During their last year of high school, seniors studied economics and government to help prepare them for real life. Since taking economics with Mr. Huisken, I've begun to understand the balance of the economy and my part in it. senior Julie Ruddy said. Students who nurtured an interest in social explored the subject beyond the required six semesters. Through world religions and psychology, they widened their perspectives. According to psychology teacher, Stu Stockhaus, These classes are becoming more and more necessary for today's culture. Sometimes the importance of history is fogged up in the preconception that social studies is boring. At Cooper, though, teachers combated monotony through unique methods. Welter's yuk-yuks and Courtland Swenson's current event Fridays eased the boredom students may have experienced. Senior Jacque Wadding-ton said. Current events are interesting, not boring. I like learning about occurrences that are happening now. Social Studios — 37 ELECTIVES Variety of possibilities provides students with many choices TP want to take as many English courses as I can because they will help me in college, said Holly Laurant, junior. Laurant, like others, takes not only the required number, but chooses electives from the multiple offerings of the department. Classes range from basic subjects of skills, literature, and composition to classes which explore modes of communication in today's world, including film study, theater production, and TV production. RCHS offers levels ranging from basic to advanced placement (AP). I'm glad Cooper has an AP program. It challenges me. and I begin to work harder in all my classes, said Pam Peterson, junior. The AP program is a five semester program. It consists of two semesters of sophomore English, including grammar and literature, and one semester each of world literature, college composition, and British literature. The department also offers journalism and creative writing to enrich students' composition skills, literature courses for background, and humanities for the classics. Humanities studies everything from the Golden Age of Greece to the High Renaissance, said Patricia Felth, humanities teacher. For oral skills RCHS offers speech, oral interpretation, and listening. Introduction to theater and acting look at the aspects of theater arts. The department provides many classes, so that students, if they want, can take as many English courses as they want. 38 — English -—-I Kris Pakonon happily asks Fran Zabel to oxplain Shakespeare's play.

Yoshi Satoh, the Japanese teacher, transferred some of this culture to Cooper. I have two main goals in teaching Japanese to high school students, said Satoh. One is to develop my own material suitable for teaching Japanese, and the other is to find ways to motivate the students. Satoh commuted every four weeks between Cooper and Wayzata High School, while the students at either school watched and took part in class through interactive video. Interactive video is a system which allows Satoh to broadcast live from one school to another. Other languages a person could take were Spanish. French and German. Sharon Goodrie and Mark Mertens had fun teaching French. Mertens said, What I enjoy most about French class, is the students teaching me. The French students plan to take a trip to London, Brittany. Paris and the Riviera during the summer. Tammy Buetow and Inta Grevites shared the teaching responsibilities of the German classes. Grevites said, I try to instill in the student that each culture has its own values and one isn't better than another. Robert Labudd and Laurel Zepeda worked together to expose the students to the Spanish culture. Labudd said. What I enjoy most about teaching a foreign language is being able to share my experiences from my travels with the students. '1 enjoy Spanish because of Senor Labudd's sense of humor that beats alll said Julie Zimmerman, junior. — Katherine Richardson, Alyssa Whitnoy and Jarvis Eastman roturn their tapes to the aide.

Chagnon, like Crusoe, never feels alone because he has the company of the students who appreciate him. I like him, said Eric Larson, junior. He helps you if you need it. I've learned a lot from him. Chagnon constantly increases the students' outlook on art by using a new curriculum. Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE). This program now begins in kindergarten and continues through the twelfth grade. DBAE includes lessons on art history. criticism, productions and aesthetics, the philosophy of beauty. Chagnon said, I'm glad to see this advance in art classes which has previously been neglected. Talent exists in a wide variety among the classes. This enables the students to view their fellow student's capabilities. I feel this allows me to experience things I might not have had the chance to otherwise. It also lets me use other people's ideas and techniques with my own, said Devon Bradford, senior. —I Art studonts create interesting screamers.

It portrays people's moods and feelings, it psyches people up, and it mellows them out. Some people create music by singing, while others play an instrument in either the band or the orchestra. Choir allows students and the teacher to get involved and have some fun, too. I'm really enjoying myself, said Paula Holmberg, the director of concert choir, select choir and chamber singers. The 1987 school year brought some changes for both the orchestra and the band. Karen Olson, the orchestra instructor, appeared on the scene as the new music theory teacher, also. Olson appreciates the students. She said, The kids play well and work hard. They've made me feel welcome here. I love itl In addition to her work here, she also conducts in the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies. According to Dr. Roger Thompson, combining three bands into two provided a challenge, but it also proved to be an excellent opportunity to get to know more students. With only two bands, Thompson said, It allows for a larger instrumentation and challenges the student's ability to perform. —H Harmonizing together to the song, Nola,” junior, Sean Housor, and senior, Chris But-torfiold. rehearse during sixth hour.

Music — 45 ALIVE New book adds zest to health The Health Department witnessed an innovation with the addition of a new health book, hot off the press. The book covered the same concepts as before but with a new style. Teacher Jim Knight said, I have to start all over again to learn the new, updated program. I, myself, am only one chapter ahead of the students. The Department had requirements to meet accorded by state law. The requirements said that curriculum must include a study of diseases, mental health, chemical dependency, fitness and nutrition, first aid, and CPR. The book met the requirements without changing the format radically. The teachers, however, had extra work in preparing lectures and writing tests. The three health teachers, Ray Cosky, Dorothy Jacobsen, and Knight put their heads together and wore able to teach a useful class for sophomore health students. Health teachers covered the AIDS epidemic in greater depth than in past years, simply because of the greater amount of knowledge to share. The teachers tried to discuss everything they knew about AIDS, but they wanted to keep the panic level at a minimum. Knight said, If we can introduce AIDS and let the students know what it is, they may be able to prevent it. —I Perhaps health toachor Jim Knight doesn't practico what he preaches. Ho eats a brat at Homecoming. You don't know how many of thoso I really ate, Knight said. — Health is a lifotimo pursuit.

Spillane said, Gym class takes up all my energy so I don't get in trouble for talking in my other classes. Later, she added, 1 do still get caught talking, though! Cooper's requirements comprised of, among other things, one credit of physical education. The course consisted chiefly of sophomores and proved to be a haven for the students. Of thirty polled, over twenty students enjoyed their gym class. The regular gym classes featured flag football, lacrosse, softball, tennis, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, and dance. Teachers introduced the rules and concepts of the sports and attempted to raise students' ambitions. The Physical Education Department also had classes for the juniors and seniors who wanted to continue with their athletic practices. These classes included racquet sports, designed to review fundamentals in these sports: dance and recreation sports; team sports, with emphasis on advanced skills; and fitness plus, with emphasis on the establishment of goals. J In their phy. ed. class, sophomores Chris Lindholm and Tato Tumquist challenge each othor to a racquetball duel.

Physical Education — 47 NOW Today's world demands skills Diversity of classes allows the Business Department to provide training in all areas of the business world. The department serves about fifty percent of the students each year. said Addy Murtaugh, an accounting teacher. According to Murtaugh, students know the skills taught in business classes will be useful in the future, and this accounts for the high enrollment in the department's classes. Business law student. Bonnie Abel, said, My dad thought it would be a good idea to take business law, and now that I have, I agree. Shorthand, keyboarding, accounting. and word processing teach basic skills needed in the business world today. More academic classes such as business law and marketing and sales explore the methods and practices used in business. Classes teach subjects that can be used, not only in post high-school education, but in people's personal life. Typing student, Jill Knutson, said, I'm taking typing so when I go to college, I can type my papers faster. Also, I might be able to earn some money with my skills during a part-time job.” The Business Department covers topics from accounting to typing and shorthand to computer classes. Murtaugh concluded, The skills taught in the department are basic to the educational needs of all students. 1 — Pam Peterson uses tho Modia Conter to finish her accounting homework. Not all of the homework has to be done in school on business machines. — Being able to use a computer is an important skill for the future.

Home Econom-ics provides students with the knowledge and skills to help prepare them for life on their own. In health and lifestyles, we learned about eating the right foods and personal growth, said Amy Lahr, junior. We also learned how to achieve a goal. We wrote down a particular goal, like losing weight, and later we went back to see if we achieved it. Jan Reinke, who taught health and lifestyles, also instructed relationships, clothing images and advanced clothing construction. The classes are smaller, which allows everyone to do individual work at their own pace, said Reinke. I like the laid back atmosphere, I don't feel pressured. said Lisa Post, junior. There were more guys than girls in my class, foods for life, said Aleeta Wisneski, junior. I think they take it because it's an easy credit, and they get to eat. I think more of the girls go to the child development classes, because they think they can already cook, responded Nick Fritz, junior. Fashion apparel, instructed by Sue Manikowski, explores different career opportunities available in fashion. It's helped me make a career choice, because it takes a look at exactly what each career involves, said Carla Nelson, junior. Child development and parenting helps students gain an understanding of children, said Elaine Jordan, who teaches the class. The students can observe and interact with children through a play school (at Cooper), where we have parents who bring their three and four year olds. Independent living is for seniors only, Jordan said. It gives them skills to live on their own without their mothers or fathers. They look at values, goals and career opportunities.

Industrial Education permits hands-on training. It gives the students a chance to apply what they learned in class to a project. Mr. Loushin uses lectures along with demonstrations, but most often, we learn through hands-on experience in the lab. said Jim Henderson, junior. I've learned, generally speaking, the basic functions of many different kinds of circuits, how to assemble and disassemble them and techniques used in testing them. Electricity as well as cabinetmaking, photography and auto maintenance, not only attracted guys, but a few girls too. I thought electricity would be interesting, and I could get something out of it, said Dana Edwards, senior. I'm the only girl and I enjoy the challenge of it. Tracy Bingen, junior, decided to take auto maintenance because she wanted to learn how to take care of her car. I don’t feel so dumb anymore when people talk about cars, she said. I took cabinetmaking, because I thought it would be interesting to learn how to make something useful, said Sheila Path, junior. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to make something, especially when it turns out like it should. The teachers experienced more variety in their classes and in schools. A few of the teachors commuted between Cooper and Armstrong. In the past we specialized in a particular area.” said Warren Clark.

District 287 provides services that local school districts are unable to, said Bucek. District 287 has their own administration and only uses RCHS's facilities. The students enrolled at RCHS mostly see the kids from District 287 in the halls and in the lunchline. Junior Angie Ring said, They shouldn't be separated because of a handicap, and I like talking to them at the lunchline. Junior. Kathy Beach, worked with kids from District 287 while at elementary school. She helped them with the alphabet, played games with them, and read them books. She also went on field trips to the park, to puppet shows, and went swimming with them. Beach remembered her experiences. I feel I learned more from them than I could ever have taught them.

District 287 — 53 RENOVATE Lunch is altered by replacing tickets with credit cards Food services witnessed several changes in order to make the serving of school lunch more efficient for staff and students. Some of these changes caused problems in the beginning, but by the second quarter the system was running more smoothly- Because the administration noticed an excess of free time for students, the school day was shortened into seven, rather than eight, mods. This enabled all the students to have lunch during the fifth period which was divided into three sections. Lunch time for each section was reduced from forty-five minutes in the past to a thirty minute schedule. Some problems arose during the first couple of weeks with a time shortage, but soon the students became accustomed to the new plan. Another plan introduced eliminated the use of lunch tickets, which had gone up in price to $1.35. At the end of November, each student was issued their own 'lunch credit card.' Students could buy up to thirty lunches in advance, and the lunches would be credited to their 'account.' During the lunch period, the cooks only had to pass the computerized card through the scanner. One lunch would be deleted. This, at first, also became unpopular with the students, but in the end eliminated the problem of lost and stolen lunch tickets. Food services also experienced changes that were welcomed immediately. New items were added to the menu in the a la carte line. Frozen yogurt was available occasionally, and the line also featured juices in exotic flavors such as blue raspberry, pina colada. bubblegum, and mint. Old favorites such as soft pretzels and nachos remained. The custodians also worked behind the scenes to keep Cooper clean. The eighteen custodians worked both day and night sweeping floors, cleaning classrooms and bathrooms, and making repairs. The custodians were there to help when a light bulb burned out or when the heaters and air conditioners didn't function correctly. Sophomore Joni Becker called a custodian for assistance the first week of school, when her locker door was jammed shut. My friends and I tried and tried to get the door open; the custodian opened it easily. 1 —. Hoad custodian Harold Bartlo stands by the heating machine.

For students, this professional standard helped them. From educational to emotional problems, the counselors were ready to meet the needs of the growing teenager. Starting early in the fall quarter, counselors met with all tenth graders. This started the process of guidance. assisting the sophomores with scheduling classes and adjusting to the different environment. Juniors and seniors received guidance for their futures. Computer assistant Judy Fahlin assisted the young adults who used the computer system. Career shadowing and mentor experiences also helped the concerned in finding interests. Groups such as Becky Fisher's issues group met once a week for those who harbored emotional and personal problems. Through group therapy, they received help. School psychologist Dr. Dennis Hogenson and social worker David Seifert assisted those with more severe problems through evaluating the problem and, if necessary, assisting the student in finding a community help organization. Students received help in indirect ways, too. The office personnel sorted through paperwork and patiently served the needs of the student body. Rozie Ellison, the bookkeeper, waited on students for everything from lunch tickets to athletic sign-up slips to yearbook payments.

The night will continue with the annual rope climb, miniature golf, computer pictures, the all new record-a-song, the hypnotist, and other surprises. The senior party is a neat way for classmates to get together one last time, and it also serves as a way to prevent accidents, said Jeanne Pribnow, registration committee member. and also mother of senior. Jane Pribnow. Her duty, said Pribnow, is to see that all seniors sign up for the party! At around 5 a.m. the buses will come and pick up some very tired graduates. They will all probably go home and sleep as long as possible because they know they won't ever have to get up for high school again. Excited to graduate.

Not only did I play a major role, but I was also able to be a dancer. said Jason Scherschligt. senior and a three-year participant in theater. Scherschligt is one of the best known actors in the Drama Department because he has performed in three musicals and five plays. His first play. Good Grief a Griffin was special since it was his first time on stage. Scherschligt said he enjoyed acting because of the reaction from theater-goers. When the audience v alks out of tho auditorium with huge smiles on their faces, I know I've done a good job of making hundreds of people happy. Scherschligt played a variety of roles. In Good Grief a Griffin. he played a court jester. Hello Dolly was special since he played the major role of Cornelius. In Arsenic and Old Lace Scherschligt played Jonathan Brewster, and he was a dancer in Once Upon a Mattress. Not only was Scherschligt involved in acting, he also was on the newspaper staff his junior year, compoted in serious prose for Declamation, and performed with the Hoofers, an almost all-male dance ensemble.

It was the last chance to be with a group of friends that have shared the first eighteen years of my life. said Scott Hegstad. The year developed into a serious time when the early series of questions. What do you want to do? What do you want to be? bombarded seniors. Then after being accepted into college. seniors encountered other worries. What will my roommate be like? Will I ever know my way around campus? Could the food at college possibly be as good as Cooper's? The list seemed endless; but despite all these pressures. Cooper students, such as Tim Lloyd and Adam Peterson looked forward to a memorable year. The two exclaimed, Our senior year was a chance to cherish our high school memories. Seniors made sure to uphold the tra- dition of Senior Skip Day. taking advantage of the day to visit colleges, go shopping, and stay home and catch up on some much needed sleep. Sometimes goofing off. excuses such as When I was riding the bus to school, my trig assignment accidentally flew out the window, and When I was making my art project. I accidentally used my government worksheet as paper mache described missing assignments. Seniors regularly found their way to the nurse's office because of a severe headache or sore throat which more than likely resulted from too much partying! To prove their superiority over the juniors and sophomores, seniors usually set the fashion trends. The latest fashions included rolled-neck sweaters, mini skirts, and frosted jeans. Although the senior year turned into a time for laughter and for tears, one idea always remained the same, “It meant I didn't have to hang around those immature sophomores anymore, said Chris Butterfield. 72 — Sonlors hmI Tomas Boig Jill Christino Born Dovon Ormonde Bradford Darrin Alan Bramwoll Macrobbi© L.

Well, not actually for one of Minnesota's counties, but for the Legion Girls' State at Bethel College. Bannerman's duties consisted of enforcing campus rules, such as no walking on the grass. She made them turn back to where they started and walk properly on the steps. Senior Linh Nguyen was also chosen to spend a week at St. John's College for Boys' State. He decided not to run for an office so he remained a law abiding citizen. At Girls' and Boys’ State, the students participated in a mock government where they organized and operated their own city, county, and state governments. This included making up their own bills in a legislature and enforcing their own laws in their own courts. I learned about what it means to have true pride in your country and to really respect the freedoms and privileges we have in the U.S., said Bannerman. When Nguyen returned from his week as a representative, he worked at the University of Minnesota. I studied proteins that cancer cells attach to and that move through the body. He also participates on the boy's gymnastic team. Bannerman involved herself in soccer, track, declamation, and symphonic band. I'm also a bus aide for mentally and physically handicapped kids. It was a very challenging and also a rewarding job. - 1 Chris Bannerman takes time out to practice her clarinet. Her schedule is tilled with many activities. Alter lunch.

As a freshman at Plymouth Junior High he began playing on Cooper's sophomore team, and when he was a sophomore, he advanced to the varsity team. He has attended Mankato Baseball Camp for the past three summers. learning hitting techniques which improved his batting average to a .351. Bachmeier's other summer activities include going to the lakes, playing golf, and in gen- eral, spending time with his friends. He also plays on the New Hope Park and Rec baseball team and has since he was in fifth grade. Bachmeier has been to state with the Babe Ruth team, and threw a nohitter in the New Ulm tournament in the summer of 1983. He also played in the Little Gopher tournaments and was victorious in 1984.

Over one hundred people went through a one-weekend orientation, filling out applications and sitting through a personalized interview. Pakonen went to Russia as one of thirty-four students selected out of that one hundred. Through the three weeks she spent there, she visited many cities, including Moscow, Vladimir, and Leningrad. She also visited some young pioneer camps which are like U.S. boy scout camps. It showed me the beauty of all people — how we really are alike although so different. Swimming is one of Pakonen's favorite pastimes. She swam any style but prefers backstroke the best. I love swimming because it is good for my cardiovascular system. My knees aren't too good, and this has a low impact on them. Pakonen also loves to play violin. She started playing in the fourth grade. She plays for the Cooper orchestra and also for the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony which she has been in since sixth grade. She made it to the top group out of seven this year, the symphony. This coming summer the symphony will be traveling to the USSR. I can't believe I'm going back so soon. I'll do everything I didn't have time to do the first time.

With work, school, sports, and their social time, life became very busy. Senior Julie Davis didn't seem to mind being busy, though. She involved herself in crosscountry. basketball, track, homowork, voluntooring at North Memorial Mod-ical Center, and working at St. Ther-ose Nursing Home. It hasn't hurt my school work or my social life; in fact, it's helped me. I've had to budget my time between school, sports, and social life to accomplish all that needed to bo done. Davis excelled in the throe sports in which she participated. During crosscountry she achieved her personal goal of running 11:14 in the 2 mile and received the honor of all conference. Basketball remained her favorite sport because of the confidence the girls displayed on the court and thoir toam spirit. That's where I mot many of my friends! Switching from baskotball to track in spring. Davis expected to run the half mile and the mile. Her biggest goal will be to make state. All I can do is work hard, try not to injure myself, and hope for a great day. Being a senior changed Davis' outlook toward herself. “I feel liko I finally know many of tho people, and I'm not worried about what others think of me. I've learned to bo myself, on and off the court. The schodule which she sot for hor-solf in high school will carry over to her lifo at college.

Tammy Ann Larson Jacquelyn Rita Lauer TAKE-HOME Testing at home sounds good, four hours of hard work doesn't Sid Buffington's third hour calculus class was the highest math class offered. The group of only nineteen seniors received a great deal of personal attention. The class began with a review of the laasic trig concepts in order to i begin with a solid base. Then the calculus problems were introduced. The majority of the students found the problems difficult, but it helps a lot when the tests are take-home! said senior, Michele Nicholls. The students took advantage of the take-home test situation and formed study groups which met at different houses. Since this is Buffington's ninth year of teaching calculus at Cooper. he is very familiar with students' study habits. He said, The reason I give take-home tests is to save on class time and also because it allows me to ask more difficult questions, since students have more time to work on the problems. In past years some parents have complained about the risk of cheating among students. In reaction to this Buffington said. No matter what you do, if a person is dishonest, that person will have to live with the consequences. I feel that study groups are a good way for students to help each other check their answers and leam any material they found difficult.

He spends much timo deciding what college ho is going to attend. FUTURE Preparing for college isn't as fun as it's made out to be One of many decisions that must be made as a senior is where to begin a post-high school career. Brochures, pamphlets, and applications crowd the student's mail boxes, the kitchen table, and fill the space under their bed. Telephone calls from military recruiters are enough to make one want to lie about oneself. Once the military has a person's name they seem to hate to leave them alone. They reportedly try to contact a person at the most unexpected places. They even tried to reach me at church on Sunday morning. said senior Justin Olson. One advantage concerning the military is that they offer a fair amount of money for college. Non-refundable application pro- cessing fees drain the money out of a person's pocketbook real easy. An individual pays the smaller colleges fifteen or twenty dollars and major universities as much as two-hundred and fifty dollars. After the individual sends in their application, they sit and wait anxiously for a reply. Sometimes the college will call the student for an interview for further information, which can often make or break the student. Once accepted, they have to decide on how to finance their way through college. Tuition, room and board, typewriter or computer, transportation, and personal expenses all have to be considered when thinking about how to “pay your way. Seniors — 91 I Hegstad focuses on a key shoi during a Coopor-Wayzata basketball game. Hegstad's dofonsivo skills koop him on the court during tight situations. DR. HOOPS Basketball captain heads toward Yale for medical career Any senior using sayings such as we like it here’s and oh, and we don’t, might be interested in attending an Ivy League school, such as Yale — or something like Minnesota Morris. Senior Scott Hegsted, a young man with his favorite color purple and a goal of changing America's speaking habits, has already been unofficially accepted by the counseling staff at Yale University. Hegstad became interested in Yale because of the reputation it has for medical school. There wore also other reasons that interested him about this acclaimed school: I'm interested in Yale because of the prestige that this school has, and I also heard that it is a real party school. One wonders why he just doesn't go to St. Cloud if he wants to party. Hegstad, a busy man throughout the school year, was captain of the boys cross country team, captain of the boys basketball team, maintains a 4.0 g.p.a., and holds down a job at Sears on the weekends. I handle this business with a great deal of style.” he said. Actually, being this busy, I have to eliminate a few things, such as eating and Tuesday night bowling.” During Hegstad's free time, ho likes to gamble, perform at amateur comedy events (for which he once won fifty bucks), attend equestrian events, and watch his favorite television show, Magnum PI. Hegstad's future plans consist of attending the University of Minnesota — Morris for four years of pre-med and then on to Yale for his true medical school, after which he hopes to be either a doctor or a stunt man.

Because of the small number of seniors in band, the sophomores didn't really have the leadership needed; however, this has also helped the sophomores with their future in the band. They have learned a lot this year and will be strong leaders in the years to come, explained band director. Roger Thompson. Having to play in Marching Band was a major reason for dropping out. Although senior Adam Lee enjoyed playing the trumpet when he was in band, he said, I wanted to have a fulfilling senior year spending quality time with my fellow students in the bleachers for this last year of my secondary education instead of being isolated in the lonely section of bleachers with the Marching Band. Senior Jon Hunt, an ex-drummer. quit because, as he said, I didn't want to sit in the rain with my polyester bell bottoms on. Scheduling conflicts were also a reason for the approximately twenty people who dropped the class. Kim Wold, a returning band member. said, There just wasn't any room left in my fellow flutists' schedules; they had more important things to fill it with. Most of the fourteen seniors who stayed plan to continue band in college. They said they remained in band for the annual band trip and because it's a fun class. It's also a needed break from the rest of the classes. said clarinet player Jill Knutson. Craig Rabe, drum major and horn player, looked at the reasons for his friends dropping out differently.

Moans and groans echoed throughout the halls as sun-seekers found out where their peers wore headed. The five most popular hot-spots were Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, and Mexico. Mary Hahn. Cynthia Hebig, Shelly Schlief, and Cindy Kunza headed for Mazatlan, Mexico. They left March 29 and returned April 5. We all needed to just get away from Minnesota for awhile, get tan, and meet 'amigos,' said Hahn. Bound for Arizona, Mary Bern-strom and Teri Tuenge stayed a week with Tuenge's brother and sister-in-law. Their transportation, which was a spare car borrowed from the family, was used to drive around and check out the hot men. Mark Evans, Joe Steckor, Walt Broich. and Rusty Hable flew to Florida. They stayed for one week. My buddy's dad has a condo down there. It's pretty cheap, cheaper than Mexico, said Evans. Although a good majority of students had plans to escape Minnesota's borders, a few remained in the state with plans to visit cabins, live in cramped quarters and rough it. Among these brave few, all in one cabin, were Dee Buys-tedt, Dana Olson, Sandy Strom. Amy Undorberg, Michelle Schendel, Chris Carlson, Nancy Schoen. and Laura Weinzetl. The destination of their trip was Un-derberg's cabin in Alexandria. Some stayed home and enjoyed their leisure time, while others stayed home because of the twelve-day attendance policy. Some of these people tried hard to make it look as if they actually traveled to some exotic place. While everyone's soaking up the sun in tropical areas of the world.

Another reason, according to Fred Sellner, co-chairperson, who said, The International Market Square didn't lend itself to a Grand March. Sellner and Jan Hall, the other chairperson, headed the Junior Prom Committee. One of their major concerns involved throwing out the Grand March because of many complaints voiced from last year's Prom attendees. It was also the number one recommendation from the 1987 committee. Most complaints involved parents crowding the march area to take pictures, and people who didn't pay Prom drinking the punch and eat- ing the hor d'oeurves. Another change included moving Prom down to the main floor where the Atrium was. Students wanted this change because Wayzata's Prom looked more enjoyable. Switching the day to Friday was another change, because that was the only day that the Atrium was available. Those decisions v ere made by the previous Prom Committee, but this committee chose the theme and the colors. The Prom Committee invited sophomores and seniors to attend the meetings and voice their opinions. From some of the seniors we were able to find out what went wrong at last year's Prom and try to eliminate those problems, said junior. Tina Becchetti.

Billig usos humor to liven up his AP world literature class, as well as ontortain Stan Hahn, right. Thanks to the work of Patrick Billig, Patricia Felth, Carol Moore, and Fran Zabel, the Advanced Placement English Program is now well established in the English Department. The AP program, begun in 1984, offers high school students the opportunity to study one or more college-level courses. Students have the option of taking an AP test for $50.00 and receiving college credits for high scores. Students are selected by recommendation from the ninth grade teacher, ninth grade qualifying grades, standardized test scores, and a screening by a high school counselor and the tenth grade AP teacher. Tenth graders start the five-semester program by taking AP sophomore composition first semester and AP American literature second semester, both taught by Iola Kludt. Juniors then usually take AP World literature taught by Pat Billig. Its purpose is to develop critical and analytical skills and also an appreciation of world literature, said Billig. In the second semester of their junior year, the students take AP college composition. Finally in their fifth semester of the program, as seniors the students take AP British literature. In their sixth semester students are encouraged to take the British survey course and or the Humanities courses.

At the beginning of the second semester they chose a project to research for the remainder of the year. Chemistry teacher. A1 Schober said. The goal is not to obtain specific results, but to learn the research process. Schober started the program at Robbinsdale Senior High in 1976 to teach the students how to go about obtaining new knowledge. They learned the methods and process of research by conducting their own experiments. The only requirement is that the subject be related to science, not necessarily chemistry. Schober said. The students spent the third quar- ter researching the work previously done on their subject in order to write a preliminary paper. Lab work began the beginning of the fourth quarter. The students spent about 20 hours of class time working on their labs. At the end of the year they wrote a final paper and gave an oral report explaining their results to the class. Many times one project will be continued over two or more years. Schober said. In past years students studied the effects of steroids on male rats, rocket fuel, the extraction of caffeine from soft drinks, and fingerprinting. They learned that even though their results did not turn out as they expected, their research was not a failure.

Some people would like to think that sophomores represent the peons of high school and that seniors play the role of the rulers of the student body. In between these two classes resides the Junior Class. The Junior Class, then, would seem to be in a tug-of-war between the other two classes. As explained by junior, Kathy Beach, We have so much pressure for college, and we don't know whom to associate with, because the seniors are too good for us and the sophomores, well, they are sophomores. Juniors needed to show more responsibility than they did as sophomores. Teachers encourage them to take the PSAT test, which helps prepare them for the other college entrance exams. Juniors also helped to organize the Prom, one of the school's most popular social events. They may join the newspaper or yearbook staff, both of which consist almost entirely of juniors and seniors; most juniors in sports play on the junior varsity teams, but some exceptions make it to the varsity teams. Most have driver's licenses, which gives them a sense of responsibility. Juniors seem to be better off than sophomores, but they are not quite senior material, to some eyes. Each must get through their junior year and keep in mind that next year ... they will be seniors.

Bortlce Matthew Bottila loo] Bourgeois Lisa Bradloy Jon Brandberg Rod BridoU Jool Briggs GEMS Class rings hold special allure Class rings, like blue-jeans, never go out of style, because like blue-jeans they provide memories of those wonderful or not so wonderful high school years. Rings also bring reminders of pep fests. Homecoming football games, and that first boyfriend or girlfriend that accepted this symbol of traditional love. Class rings have a sentimental value to most, but to others they are just fun to purchase and keep as a memento. Sophomore Kari Skogrand said, Getting my class ring will be second best only to getting my driver's license, if I ever get it! to describe the fun of buying a class ring. Although class rings cost around $200, members of the student body still purchase them. They seem most important to sophomores because they give them some connection to the school and the rest of the student body. Like a Letter jacket, a class ring symbolizes the pride of our school, said Adam Rautio, sophomore. Class rings, those little expensive jewels, basically act as a link to the school and signify being a high school student; yet after graduation, they become a valuable keepsake, a memory that will last forever, unless they become lost. You will have it (class ring) for many years to come, and it will remind you of high school memories good or bad, said Paul Bettein, sophomore. Sophomore Kim Hasolius and junior Joff Hennessey share a spocial moment together. The rings signiiy that they belong to each othor.

Even the administration treats sophomores differently than the juniors and seniors. First, they get their pictures taken before school even starts, in theory, to ease the transition. Second, they are rounded up into the auditorium to learn the school song and to impress in their memories the rules and regulations of RCHS. Finally, they are required to take health and phy. ed.. true sophomore classes. Some upperclassmen have been known to say that certain tendencies distinguish sophomores from juniors and seniors. For instance, it is rumored that a majority of the sophomores listen carefully to the informative morning announcements. Reports also indicate that they climb up the down-staircase or descend the up-staircase. Sophomores reportedly are those staring, awestruck, at juniors and seniors. Sophomores tend to hang out in the front foyer. There, they are either waiting to be picked up or have just been dropped off by a parent, since they do not drive. A few seniors and juniors insist sophomores truly believe there is a pool on the fourth floor, citing as evidence that they cluster near the elevators, which never seem to go up past the third level. This is the way it is — or so it seems. The traditional teasing continues each year, but juniors and seniors agree sophomores will always be sophomores. Someone has to do the job, and some Viking rookies will always drive after a free, but nonexistent turkey.

Anh Nguyen expressed the new attitude that many sophomores experienced. At Cooper we all belong together as a big happy family, not a lot of cliques. The strong compulsion to fit in with the group no longer existed. We can dress to show our personalities instead of dressing to be accepted, Joni Becker said. Most began to dress in easy and relaxed styles. The designer labels remain popular, but not essential. Sophomore, Tiffany Hansen, said, You feel like being yourself. You know who your real friends are; and they like you for who you are, not what you wear. The combining trends from the different junior highs added variety to the fashion scene. Lori Johns said, We can borrow ideas from old and new friends to create our own unique styles. Most sophomores felt a greater sense of freedom to be themselves and to accept others for who they are. 1 Keeping up with the casual trend. Patti 1 Proudly displaying thoir now stylos, Connie Adams.

SL: juniors volunteered to visit Osseo Senior High to get information about hov; their Honor Pass system worked. Some issues need not have committees formed; instead they were taken straight to the administration staff to deal with. Don Blore once again headed the Council. I enjoy watching young people develop authoritative qualities and succeed. Having a positive relationship with the administration makes the issues that involve them easier to deal with. The new attendance rules created many problems for those seniors wanting to visit colleges during a school day. The Student Council resolved that interested seniors be excused fo visiting a particular college on an' given school day. but the administra tion deferred a decision to the atten dance committee. Two major issues which were dis cussed and resolved were the selec tion of graduation gowns and th blood drive. The seniors had three differen gowns to choose from. They decided t • purchase the same gowns as the pre vious year. Selected students visite the Blood Bank center in January where they learned about the proce dures to have the blood drive. Overall, as far as accomplishmen I goes, many issues were passed to g to the administration, and the group seemed to stay rational and civilize while waiting for the verdict. 132 — Student Council PROM A. special night o remember One of the biggest social events in some students' lives is the Prom, perhaps the most -rostigious and stylish event of the •ear. Homecoming and the Jack of learts dances depict the glamour and mportance, but they don't quite equal he Prom for prestige or for style. The Prom committee worked to nake the night special. They formed -ommittees for music, decorations, leket sales, and fund raising. The jroups met once a month. They were ;upervised by two staff members, Jan Hall and Fred Sellner. The Junior Class Cabinet was in charge of the publicity. They visited different businesses asking for donations, in effect asking them to help sponsor Prom in return for the publicity. The officers were president, Tricia Bakritges; vice president, Chad Pugh; secretary, Dextire Phillips; and treasurer. John Oldenkamp. On April 29, a Friday night, which was a change from the traditional Saturday, students gathered on the lower level of the International Market Square. The change to a Friday came about because recommendations from he previous committee said that stu-ients wished to have the lower level of he site. Friday was the only day ivailable since bookings are made ver a year in advance. Students didn't miss school to pre- are for the Prom, as some people 9ared. because a staff development ay was scheduled. To the music of the Classics and with le theme of Some Enchanted Eve-mg.

Caryl Bugge accepted the po-ition of adviser, which she shared vith Assistant Principal John Lloyd. Ms. Bugge was the real vertebrate on vhich the Honor Society was built. ;aid Chris Harris, president of the JHS. Her new approaches, especial-:y during the induction ceremony, were refreshing and inventive. The time of the induction ceremony switched from Spring to December. Having the ceremony in December made it possible for new senior members to put the NHS on their college applications. As in previous years, the officers, Harris, Tim Lloyd, Eric Skogrand, and Stephanie Hawes, each spoke about the Honor Society's principles: service, leadership, scholarship, and character. A 1973 graduate, Neil Franz spoke to the members about balance in stu- dents' lives and taking part in more than one activity. One new idea was that returning members were asked to choose a person, whom they respected, to bo honored at the ceremony. I liked honoring the adults, because they are the people, who inspired most of the students on the Honor Society, said Angie Ring, junior member of the NHS. One day in January, meetings were scheduled all day in the media center, for all members to attend. At these meetings, members thought of ideas for fund raisers and community projects. They also discussed reforms, which they would like to see in school. Junior members expressed their thoughts on the induction ceremony and suggested ideas for next year's. Many new ideas were brought up at these meetings, and more changes will, no doubt, occur in the future. 1 Prosidont. Chris Harris, spooks about character.

National Honor Socioty — 135 DEADLINES 'Screaming editors and crabby adviser' add to a stylish year Y TP ▼ here's the white out? There were ten V grease pencils here just yesterday! I can't stay because I have to work. Copy is due on Friday! Pass the cropper. What a mess! If you want out just go, don't write it on the typewriter. The '88 Talons started taking form in June when the editors went off to Gus-tavus Adolphus College to attend the Taylor Yearbook Workshop. Wanting to change the book by adding flair and excitement, they took what they learned and incorporated it to fit the theme. We've Got Style. With their fresh information the staffers began work on the first deadline in October. Many new staffers didn't know what to expect when they joined yearbook and found out just how much work goes into the book and how relationships play an important role in it. Senior Lisa Olson said. You have to learn to work with people to meet a deadline. New features to the book included more graphics, a mini mag and bigger headlines. Said managing editor, Jenny Choih, I learned at yearbook camp that there were so many graph- ics that could be incorporated into the book. Everything did not go entirely as planned, though. What is a year without a few mishaps? On the final deadline when everyone thought that it was free sailing, two pages were discovered missing. A quad pak was quickly redesigned and sent off with the other pages. Other typical troubles formed throughout the year. Sports seasons sometimes didn't coincide with deadlines and those pages had to be pushed back. Also, having to send film to Scheriing-Pletsch to be developed was time consuming. Since each deadline was set at least a week ahead of the real date, quad pales were miraculously finished on time and everything mailed. said Stephanie Hawes, Editor-in-Chief. Many Friday nights, around midnight, light still radiated from room 301 as dedicated staffers held marathon sessions to finish on time. The longest lasted until 2:30 a.m. As February came to a close, so did the book. Said Erin Pearman, junior, I liked being able to see what we had done actually in print. 136 — Talons [ Jenny Choih, Jean Fellbaum, and Stephanie Hawes help Julio Follbaum on her sonior section.

CENSOR Standards set by Supreme Court doesn't change paper bold new design graced the A cover and inside of the Quill, along with other changes, including an expanded features page and more relevant editorials. The design was updated when the 1986-87 Quill was reviewed by the National High School Press Association and was told to take bolder steps towards more graphics and layout. Artist Greg Johnson and Editor-in-Chief Jon Hunt spent time updating a design formulated during a summer journalism convention. The post-modem elements caught people's eyes and were more pleasing and colorful, said Hunt. The features page was updated to include thematic in-depth feature spreads about such diversified subjects as the Summer of Love. Truancy. Artists, and Homecoming. The year also saw the debut of a new comic strip, Closer Than You Think. by Greg Johnson and Jason Zeaman. I think the strip has a unique individuality and a bizarre humor that appeals to everyone, said Shackelford, junior features writer. Another popular feature on the arts page were the record reviews, written by people who were knowledgeable about music. Arts Editor Allison Hoekstra, writer Mollie Stickney. and editor Jon Hunt, all musically trained, presented their views on a number of popular and alternative albums. Headed by adviser, Vem Hollister, the Quill was a vehicle for students to express their minds even in the face of the Hazelwood case, in which the Supreme Court set new and harsher censorship standards for the High School Press. I felt that the new censorship laws didn't affect the Quill; we had the ability to express ourselves in a fulfilling manner, said staffer Scott Brown. Our principal, G. David Knutson, has faith that we will make the correct decisions, Hollister said. 'That's what I have you for,' he told me. Quill — 139 1 Joff Molby. senior, telophonos his coach.

Olson FESTIVALS Prose to poetry, discussion to drama, declam wins awards Declamation, an extracurricular speech and discussion activity, started out with much enthusiasm for many students seeking better speaking skills. More than 40 people participated in the 11 different categories; students carefully researched and practiced different speech pieces. The activity was coached by seven teachers, with two collaborating as one coaching team. Jeff Philips, Julia Rask, Caryl Bugge, Sue Kelly, Jan Kuretsky, and Pat Felth coached the different categories. The head coach was Phyllis Kromer, who has been involved in Declam for thirty years, and this year was honored for her many years of service. On February 20, the team participated in a Declam festival in Duluth, which involved teams from around the state. The trip lasted two days, and students competed both with others and with themselves. Three Cooper students placed in the events: Shannon Smith took first place in the Poetry category, Mollie Stickney took second in Drama, and Stephanie Hawes took third place in the Great Speeches event. Declaimers were asked to attend at least two meets and, according to senior Chris Cook, It was a grea1 experience which really helped me tc improve. Declam helps students to speak more effectively and to develop bettei speaking and organizational skills. ''Declam will help me in future plays, said Julie Mundale, junior. Competitors learned skills that will help them ir. the future. Other than Duluth, the students alsc participated in four other festivals, at Shakopee, Bloomington Jefferson. Coon Rapids, and Forest Lake. Competition for state began with sub-regions, April 12, and Region finals the following week. State competition was held on April 20. Working for State gave me a goal to reach for, said senior Jenny Choih, I really wanted to go this year, and it helped me to work harder in the festivals I attended. 140 — Declamation Declamation: Back row: D.

Senior Neil Krasnoff said, Debate is very educational. By being in it for four years, I learned so much about what is going on in the world, more than any other class. Krasnoff was the leading debater on the team. Coached by Don Blore, the participants developed affirmative and negative viewpoints on their debate subject. The team competed from October to January. At the end of the season the team had nine wins and five losses. Also, at the end of the season, the novice team won an award on their performance. Mike McGrath said, I learned how to become a polite loser and a modest winner. The team practiced Monday through Friday, before and after school. Not having a job helped me put more time into practice, said Chuck Nickles, a member of the novice team. The Debate team supported the Veterans of Foreign Wars' Voice o Democracy radio script-writing contest. The topic for the four-minute speech was The challenge of American Citizenship. Six Robbinsdale Cooper students won awards.

Feature — 143 WELCOME AFS helps the exchange students feel comfortable and at home Helping the foreign exchange students feel at home and belong to Cooper is what the World Citizen's Club is all about. Members of the club spent most of their summer welcoming the visitors as they arrived in the United States. The members showed the exchange students different cultures around the Twin Cities area. Christina Ripman Hansen from Spain said, If it weren't for the World Citizen's Club and my family I am staying with, I would be lost. They really helped me feel like I belong here. The meetings are held every other Wednesday. Marti Reckdahl, the adviser, said, I enjoy working with the students and working with the different cultures. The officers of the club are Tammy Johanson, president; Nc-lan Shackelford, vice president; Tan -my Larson, secretary; and Kele Nath j as treasurer. Johanson said, Being i 1 the club for three years has enligh -ened my memories of high school. The club's activities included a fill 1 to observe Black History Week whic t also raised money for the AFS. Th club also had a flower sale in th spring. The money made from these activ ities went toward scholarships for for eign students to visit the United Statei during the school year. Also, the earned money helps Cooper students financially, so that they may be a foreign exchange student or visit another country.

Michael Duschek and AJo-jandra Roblos use this timo to talk about the Hallowoen party for the World Citizen's Club. — In homeroom before classes. Alejandro Robles talks about hor fun weekend in the United States to the other exchange studonts. Seven students from Germany, Sweden. Norway, Spain and Mexico, experienced the feeling of stepping into a new country. The exchange students agreed that when they arrived, they felt frightened but yet anxious for the new experiences waiting ahead. One of Tomas Borg's discoveries included a way to decorate a house with toilet paper. You've got to be kidding, he expounded. You people are really weird here. The foreign exchange students agreed it was difficult at first because they didn't really know what to expect of American people or what Americans would think of them. However, after the ice was broken they said they easily made friends, keeping the memories of the ones back home. Alejandro Robles, from Mexico, said that she really missed her boyfriend fr rr home as well as her family. Borg fr c Sweden, however, didn't miss his fcm ily or friends as much as he missed lis pet mouse, Matilda. Next to missing friends, family ok pets, the exchange students miss the food from their home country. M u tha Martienz, from Spain said, It wa hard to get used to the food here; it b e lot different. Contrary to Martian:'! view. Norwegian Klaus Vaethe like: American food. His favorite i: cheeseburgers, The bigger the bettoi They are the greatest! And I like then really greasy, he exclaimed. Though each of the foreign ex change students expresses positive comments about Cooper High Schoc and the United States, in general, the-; said that they are glad to go bad home now that the year is over. 146 — Foreign Exchange Students II During Ski Buffington's math class.

The twenty-member group was busiest during the holiday season. They were asked to perform at North Metro. Colonial Acres and North Ridge nursing homes, and the American Legion. At the Terrance Mall they performed Christmas carols to add to the festive atmosphere. During the year they were asked to sing for many variety events from a breakfast at the District Central Office to a pepfast during Homecoming to a dinner at the Golden Valley Country Club. Holmberg said, The group prodded entertainment with pleasure. The selections of songs were chosen by Holmberg. They ranged from madrigals to contemporary to vocal jazz. — At the Golden Valley Country Club. Ann VanDusen. Harold Gossard. Ted Hesse and Dobbio Albus perform lor a very attontivo audionce. This was one ol many concerts the Chamber Slngors gave during the year. Ted Hesse, tenor, second year Chamber Singer said. We are full of unity, and that makes me feel good when we perform. The traditional formal attire was continued. The girls wore an emerald green, iridescent taffeta and velvet gown, while the boys wore black tuxedos with matching emerald green bow ties and cummerbunds. It was well worth being a part of the group, even though the dresses were very expensive. said senior Allison Hoek-stra. The Chamber Singers meet for one class period everyday without receiving a school credit. Katy Tessman said. It used to bother me that we didn't receive school credit towards graduation, but not any more, because my only reward is singing well, and this is a great group to sing well with!

Chamber Singers — 149 PRODUCTION Select, Concert Choirs build their voices and abilities Vim, vigor, and vitality! Often, before a choir rehearsal, the director, Paula Holmberg, spoke these words. Holmberg wanted each choir member to keep this in mind while singing, because she believes it will help the choir to perform at a high level of intensity. Holmberg directs two choirs, Select Choir and Concert Choir, the former primarily consisting of seniors and juniors, but including, also, five sophomores. They are vocally advanced for their age, Holmberg said, about why she put them in the choir. Brenden Ober, a sophomore tenor in the Select Choir said, I love being able to sing with people who have a lot of talent. The Concert Choir is a building choir. Made up mostly of sophomores, they work on building the range of their voices. They sing fewer and easier songs and concentrate on becoming more accurate on notes, intonation, and the reading of music. To begin the year, officers were elected after a week long campaigning of posted signs and speeches. The officers for Select Choir are Harold Gossard, president; Eric Skogrand, vice president; Shannon Smith, secretary; Andrea Cronen, treasurer. The officers for Concert Choir are Suzie Salhus, president; Ben Anderson, vice president. Tiffany Hanson, secretary; and Tony Rogich, treasurer. The officers meet once a month and work together to decide on the fund raisers and the administration of them. They also plan social events and take charge when Holmberg is absent or busy. In December the choirs held their winter concert. It opened with the Women's Ensemble singing the Alleluia fanfare from the light booth balcony. It ended with the traditional Hallelujah Chorus, with alumni joining the choirs. New to the concert was the addition of the orchestra during the Gloria Movement of Hayden's Mass in B flat and the Hallelujah Chorus. It added a lot of spice to the performance, said Janice Sawatsky, 1987 alumni. In February, Armstrong's choirs joined with Cooper's choirs and performed Hayden's Mass in B flat. It's nice to see the two schools perform together instead of compete, said Charon Tessman, mother of choir member Katy Tessman. In March, the Select Choir participated in a Twin Cities choir competition, singing three selections. In May the select Choir and Concert Choir gave a spring concert. Also in May. the select Choir went to the Ozarks. They traveled, toured, and performed for five days. It was the longest trip the Cooper Choir has ever had. I don't mind the long bus ride. That's where all the fun and inside jokes start. said senior, Laura Weinzetl. The choir raised money for the trip by selling Happenings books, cookies and jewelry. { _ Tenor . Tod Hosso.

The forty member orchestra performs music from baroque, renaissance and classical periods as well as contemporary and more modern selections. The orchestra played at the Homecoming pepfest in October, a winter concert in December, and gave a spring concert in May. In February, the orchestra joined with Armstrong's orchestra and both school's choirs and performed Hayden's Mass in B Flat. The annual All-District Orchestra Festival was held in March. The festival includes all orchestra students in the district, from elementary to high school ages. This festival is a fantastic opportunity for all levels of students to play together. said Karen Olson, director. This was Olson's first year at Cooper. I really like the way she directs and teaches. said Tammy Johanson, senior. Orchestra students participated in the Region 6AA Solo and Ensemble contest held in April. Another opportunity for several orchestra members was the GTCY'S, or the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies. This organization offers a large full orchestra experience for students who pass the audition. GTCY'S presents concerts in the finest halls in the Twin Cities. Olson describes orchestra members as students who are not only outstanding academically, but also involved in many extra-curricular activities. It takes an extra effort to do all of the things orchestra kids do — but in the long run they're the first ones to admit that it's worth it. ORCHESTRA: Front Row: T. Hanna. S. Jonos. K. Hanson.

First, we have the Jazz Band playing polka music at the Homecoming brat feed and the Marching Band with its first male drum major in five years. Can you believe it? After a week of practice and a final tryout, Senior Craig Rabe v as named Drum Major by Marching and Jazz Band director. Roger Thompson. I tried out for the position of Drum Major because I felt it would be fun and would provide me with some leadership skills I may be able to use later,” Rabe said. According to Thompson, he was chosen for the position because of his leadership and authority and did an excellent job. Rabe said, It's been a new challenge, given me some leadership experience, and it's been a lot of fun. On the other hand, the Jazz Band spent the year performing at Cooper's brat feed, three band concerts, a pepfest, and Snow Week. They started out the year slowly but progressed each month. Thompson said, The band is mainly formed for the students' enrichment, and that's what we aimed for. Throughout the year both the concert and Symphonic Bands participated in fundraisers to help finance their trip to St. Louis. Missouri, in April. Band members sold Happenings books and fruit. The money they earned was credited toward the trip. During their stay in St. Louis the Symphonic Wind Ensemble competed against bands from around the country in the Gateway Music Festival. Because of the lack of enrollment, especially from the Senior Class, some aspects of the band program were changed. The usual three bands were reduced to two. This means that there was quite a lack of experience, yel Thompson remained optimistic throughout the year. This year has been like a building block for the band and holds well for the future. On the whole it's been a pretty good year. Marching Band JAZZ BAND: Front Row: J. Osgood. Second Row: C. Harris, N. Krasnoff. A. Ring. J. Hargrove. Third Row: R. Thompson, S. Suhr, J. Mikolich. N.

The Concert Band was for students interested in playing a musical instrument for enjoyment but not in pursuing it. They played to learn some techniques while enjoying different types of music from modem to classical. Symphonic Band was for more dedicated music students who hope to play their instruments after high school or go on to a career dealing with music. They also played a different variety of music, but also more complicated scores. They had to spend more time learning the music. The band trip was to be something new for everyone. The band went to St. Louis, Missouri, to perform in the Gateway Music Festival competition sponsored by the University of Missouri. After the competition the band saw the sights. They went to the Museum of Westward Expansion, then on a tour of the Gateway Arch followed by a visit to Grant's home. To top off the trip they spent a day at Six Flags Great America. I have never been there, and it was great fun, said junior Sue Gundershaug. The bands performed at two concerts, one in the fall and the other in the spring. The bands chose which songs they wanted to play by voting on selections Thompson had preselected. The selections chosen were mostly modem songs. Band members like the modern songs better than the older ones, said Jason Osgood. 156 — Band C ONCERT BAND: Front Row: L. Bells, L. Loistiko, T. May, K. Long, L. Wartnor, J. Tjadon. J. Leech, K.

Senior Kathy Long, captain of the Silks, worked to keep the group synchronized and in step. They practiced every day during sixth mod and Tuesdays and Thursdays after school for one hour. Practices were different than they were last year. Each member was responsible for making up a routine and teaching it to the rest of the squad. Long said, I really liked this way. It gave each girl a responsibility and pride in the routines they do. and it relieves some of the pressure on me to make up all the routines. During Homecoming, the Silks sported a new look. Metallic blue streamers trailed on the ends of the flags, which gave a dazzling look, something interesting and different, they felt, to break the monotony of the regular flags. They sparkled in the lights from the field, said returning alumna Wendy Waszut. After being in Silks for two years, this year has been the most fun, especially our pizza expeditions before our performances, said Amy Tess-mer. The Silks had a productive year, adding different dance steps and new types of twirls to their routines, according to Kim Newman, senior. SILKS: Front Row: A. Tessmor, K. Long. A. Gibson.

OVER Cooper's only twirlers spin out hough having to put up with 1 frozen fingers and frozen legs, Jodi and I twirled for our third straight year as the baton twirling duo. Ann Van Dusen said. Van Dusen, along with her partner Jodi Gustafson, have been the only twirlers in the history of Robbinsdale Cooper. Van Dusen started baton in the eighth grade. After becoming close friends with Gustafson, the two girls eventually found out they both twirled. Under the subsequent instruction of Gustafson's mother, the girls rehearsed together before deciding to audition for baton twirlers when they got to Cooper for their sophomore year. Out of the four girls that auditioned, they were chosen. One of the most exciting moments must have been when we twirled fire for the first time, our sophomore year, Van Dusen said. It was so exciting because of the way the audience reacted. It seems like they were quite astonished, because nothing this dangerous had ever been attempted before. When Van Dusen isn't twirling, she spends most of her time drawing. Some of her work, mostly pencil drawings, have been displayed in the showcase windows throughout the year. She also participated in the musicals, chamber singers, yearbook staff and cheerleading. Gustafson started baton at the age of four and participated in many baton competitions under the instruction of her mother. Now, she, too, teaches techniques of baton to future baton twirlers. She spends part of her extra time going to concerts such as U2, R.E.M., and The Cure. She also holds a job at Frank's, where she works twenty hours a week, v orking the register. She is also a member of the World Citizen's Club and the yearbook staff. Baton — 159 11 —. Tho Cooporottos perform for the student body to a medley of songs during the Snow Daze popfest.

Instead of buying or sewing new costumes for each football game, as in previous years, they wore the same eye-catching outfits for nearly all of their performances and competitions. The costume was a silver se-quined blue, white, and orange V on the front and bottom and a V slit back. The season started early in the summer with practices at 6 a.m. and participation in the Brainerd, Crosby, Crystal Frolics, and Whiz Bang parades. As with many dancelines, a choreographer, Lee-Ann Johnson, was hired and stayed with the line for half a year. After a busy summer, rehearsal for the first football game began. In addition to the homo games and pepfests, another change was in the participation at a boy's soccer game against Armstrong, and also a return after a long absence to basketball games. After controversy about the late hours of practice after school, one-third of the thirty-member line resigned. This resulted in a winter tryout. The line accepted five new dancers. The Cooperettes competed in four competitions throughout the year, which were Apple Valley, State, Stout and the University of Minnesota. Their best finish was at Stout where they placed second. They also won first place in the Anoka Halloween parade. Said Co-Captain Kelly Erikson, The line was really good, and we all got along well. The season finally ended with the traditional Jack of Hearts dance. It was co-sponsored by the Cooperettes and the Silks. Cooporottos — 161 FALL A-SQUAD. Front Row: S. Lien. M. McOmie. S. Borg, C.

Over the summer the A-squad decided to purchase new uniforms. Shannon Gordhamer, junior, said, We had new girls, and some of the uniforms were too small and there was a limited amount, too. Most of us just wanted a new look. Jean Roof, the new cheerleading adviser helped the girls decide upon the outfits within their budget. The uniforms consisted of orange sweaters with Hawks printed across them, blue skirts with orange trim, jerseys with personal nicknames; and to finish them off, blue and white tennis shoes. First-time members to the A-squad, Lara Hanson and Nancy Thompson, juniors, both agreed that it was difficult learning all of the cheers. Over the summer the cheerleaders spent early morning practices working on new mounts and stunts, that they learned at summer camp at the University of Minnesota. Getting up was hard but it all seemed to pay off toward the end, said Shelley McDonough, junior. At the camps, they were introduced to more complex and difficult stunts. Safety skills were stressed to protect them from injury. The A-squad entered their first competition during the fall and received the Most Spirited award. Participating in the Whiz Bang Days parade and performing at Cooper alumni's twentieth class reunion were two of the events in which the girls took part. One of the biggest changes was in squad organization. They agreed to eliminate captains. Gordhamer said. We decided not to have particular captains this year; instead everyone would work together. With that decision it seemed to keep everyone much happier. 162 — Cheerleaders ALL B-SOUAD: Front Row: L. Podorson. Second Row: H. Steinzel. K. Hasolius. C. Bergerson. J. Boo. hird Row: T. Molson. J.

High hopes at the beginning ol the season woro lost as tho Hawks fell to 3-6. — Co-captains Ted Harrison and Jeff Olson, and defensive back John Uzzell charge onto the field for tho socond half. It was their last chance to do so together. 180 Football Ml AN ENIGMA Through the season, athletes set records, yet team finishes 3-6 A dozen records were broken or tied as quarterback Tim Palm threw to the all-conlerence title. running back Jeff Olson smashed the Cooper rushing record, Chris Hunt took leading receiving honors in the Lake Blue, Ted Harrison was the first Hawk to ever be named the number one Minnesota college recruit, and Tim Lloyd tied for the number of interceptions in one game with three against St. Louis Park. And yet, the season ended with a 20-0 loss to Wayzata to finish the season 3-6. The reason, according to cocaptain Harrison, We weren't fast enough; we couldn't catch anyone after they broke away. The season had a shaky start. We were asleep the first three quarters of the Armstrong game,' said head coach Ert Jones-Hermerding. Then Cooper scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The Armstrong comeback was a real highlight because after the fourth quarter, we knew we could play even though we lost 28-21 in overtime. said Matt Haberle, senior linebacker. Harrison considered the first game against Wayzata a highlight. We played Wayzata real tough, and we considered them to be one of the best teams. The Hawks lost 10-7. With an 0-4 home record and two-year home record of 1-8, the Hawks have had trouble at Mielke Field. Maybe we are too used to Mielke; and when we go to a different setting, we play better, Harrison said. They had a unique flair as they tended to have more fun. Other teams got mad during a game, and we Joked around a lot. They even picked on their own teammates. Every week we found someone to pick on. Harrison said. Homecoming was a disappointment as the Hawks lost 28-7 to Hopkins, a smaller and faster team. After the Hawks marched down to the goal line. Hopkins changed to a different defense which Cooper was unable to adjust to for the rest of the game. The game typified the season. The inability to adapt is historic at Cooper. A shining start seems to precede the dull end. Each year the sophomores win 7 or 8 games and then when they get to varsity manage a close to .500 season. 1 Tun Lloyd downs the ball In tho ond zono.

Dave Law-son. the season began slowly, he boys found it more difficult to play ince the rules required not commu-. ucating while on the field, no punting ■ f the ball, and no through balls. After awhile, Lawson allowed some f the restrictions to be dropped be-t ause it turned out to hurt their playing more than it helped, according to Todd Streich, junior. After the team stopped using the new rules, he said they began to play better. In the first game of the play-offs, they upset Central Min- nesota Christian High School, 6-0. The second play-off game at Minnetonka did not leave the team with as many pleasant memories. Minnetonka got ahead quickly with a couple of cheap goals, said Tom Simonson, junior. Hawks' goalie. Steve Pearson, stopped a penalty shot, keeping them close enough to come back. They did score two goals but ended up losing to the Skippers 4-2. Streich summarized the team and tough season. We had a good team, and we could have gone far; but the other teams just played harder. I occor — 185 ARSITY SOCCER: Front Row: D. Bauman. N. Fritz, C. Jossart. C. Stator. T. Simonson. S. Pearson, M.

Boys' Soccer — 187 JOY Soccer players believe in mirth Placing emphasis on having fun instead of the business of winning, the girls' varsity soccer team didn't show well in re-gionals. We were more or less just out to have fun, said Cynthia Hebig, a starting senior. The team finished the season with an overall 5-8-2 record and a conference standing of 3-2-2. They went on to beat Park Center during the first game of regions by a score of 1-0 but lost the second game to Armstrong by an identical score. Because many injuries plagued the team early in the season, head coach Gary Stefano focused practices more on the basic skills rather than conditioning, hoping to improve technique instead of endurance. Chris Carlson, another starter, said that communication was sometimes a problem. We weren't really getting our problems out in the open. Despite injuries and a losing season, the team did win four of their last five season games in shutouts. The team was relatively inexperienced. We really did improve, though, Hebig said, and that's what counts. 188 — Girls' Soccer VARSITY SOCCER: Front Row: D. Idstrom. L. Rausch, L. Honrohan, S. Carlson, S. Moinart, L. G re M. Dimborio, C.

Girls' Soccer — 191 LOVE GAME Friendships help keep the team together through a hard season Togetherness, picking players up with a hug or a smile when they feel down, helps boost their self-confidence. The participants aim for victory, but they get satisfaction from playing tennis itself. We had good team spirit despite our playing, said Chris Beck, co-captain. With fourteen girls on the team, only three of them having previous experience, the girls encountered a rough year on the courts, finishing with a record of 0-16. It was a long year, but the girls played good tennis, said Oliver Guest, who's been coaching for the past seven years. Losing fifteen seniors made it impossible to form a junior varsity team. Therefore, many played on varsity without any experience. Six girls went to regions. Some had to compete on indoor courts because of the cold weather. Co-captain, Sue Kopp. made it the farthest in regions, winning her first match but losing her second. Kopp is going to be a strong force on the team next year. said Jodi Johnston, senior. Although this was Guest's smallest team ever, he said, I hope the number of players will increase with the freshmen entering Cooper next year. GIRLS TENNIS: Front Row: S. Snow, A. Campbell, J. Loach.

Even though the varsity players had Larson as sophomores two years ago, they started from the basics and relearned the common skills under her watchful eye. Being able to coach varsity was a personal challenge and a lot of fun. especially since I already knew the girls, said Larson. The junior varsity and sophomore teams had new coaches. Karen Bur-sey and Sue Jacobson. Having an all female staff had some advantages for the players. I could relate better to Kris and Karen because they understood our emotional problems better. said Amy Un-derberg, senior. The team was outside running and exercising in August before school started. Co-captains Char Lowis and Underborg led captain's practice for a week before Larson took over the practices and stretched them from the throe hour time to six hours. ' Captain's practice is good to have, but we don't try our best like we do with the coaches looking at us. said Lisa Duenow, junior. With a 3-4 conference record, Coo-por came in fourth, and finished with an overall record of 6-16. We had our ups and downs, but we stayed together as a team and had a good time, said Lewis, an all conference hitter. Larson thought the team was well rounded and everyone had a job to do and did it to the best of their ability. It was a successful season, she said. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL: Front Row: M. Nicholls. T.

Girls Volleyball — 197 FREE STYLE Despite no wins, girls' swimming achieves personal victories hough they may not bo remembered as having a groat season by others, the girls on the swim team will remember it as ono of their best. Junior Julio Zimmerman said. It's the best season of the three that I've been there. Everyone seemed to accept ovoryono else. Some super friendships came out of the season. Goals reached by each member and the high spirits and friendships made wore all a part of the season. They started practicing in the middle of August. After two weeks of swimming outside at the Crystal pool, they moved to their homo territory at Hosterman Junior High School. Halfway through September, each girl on the team set a goal for herself. The goal was the amount of time each swimmer wanted to drop on her event at the swim meets. Each week the goal would change with the amount of time wanted to be dropped increasing. By setting these goals, The girls became more involved and worked harder to achiovo thoii goals, said Coach Dave Doten. Sophomore Kim Haselius was the lone diver. She practiced with the Armstrong divers. Haselius did well, ending the season by making the first cut of divers at regions but not qualifying for the second. Though they never won a meet, the rest of the team showed improvement over previous years as backstrokor Dobbie King and Lori Buckley, a but-terflier, and both of their relay teams qualified for regional finals, the first time since 1984. Team spirits remained high throughout the season ©von though they never v on a meet.

The team stuck together through regions where everyone reduced their times and set personal bests. Although the team suffered a lack of participants, according to Hegstad. ''Nearly all the individuals met their goals.'' The leading time on the girls' team belonged to Julie Davis who took fourth in the conference, was named to all-conference, and cut twenty-nine seconds off her time. Morris spent much of the season trying to catch up to Davis, but partly due to an injury remained second. The boys' team had no standouts although they had more participants. Still they were smaller than other teams. Hegstad said, We tended to think negatively when compared with teams of larger numbers. We had to do the best we could with the numbers we had and compare ourselves to ourselves rather than to others. Sporadically throughout the season, meets were cancelled due to rain and cold weather. Most were not made up. According to Davis, this hurt the team. The more we raced, the more practice we got, and we wouldn't be so nervous at the next meet. But cross country wasn't only work, they also had fun. According to Hegstad, Something I'll always remember is the closeness of the team. We were all friends.

Mealtime jocks have leaped, smashed, and scored rather than eat and drink. Some par ticipate for extra practice. Others play because, duo to other commitments, they haven't any other chance to play competitively. What sport to play is usually determined by what the gym classes are playing to decrease the set-up and take-down times. Time has become an important factor since the lunch mods have been shortened. Some activities such as ping pong have been sporadically cut due to the time shortage. Competitiveness, while not a requirement for participation, is often a predominating factor. Some games can get overly rough, but it's all in the name of fun. Laughter and cries of joy and agony resound from the gymnasium. Instructors are present, not only for supervision but also for help with skills. They shoot baskets and rebound, getting much needed exercise, while helping the less skilled participants. A few spectators often gather to watch as the gym jocks show off to mostly female observers. These lunchtime cheerleaders cheer for the same reason the guys shoot: to release the tension of the first half of the day and to mentally prepare themselves for the second half. Whatever the reasons, the mid-day hoopsters have fun and get the valuable exercise that is lacking from a recessless secondary school day. ► Leaping vertically to astounding hoights is Darnoll Minniwoather. a sophomore.

Small. 204 — Boys’ Gymnastics ZERO IN Gymnasts focus on flexibility and the importance of strength Led by Head Coach Evan Eck-lin, the Cooper Armstrong boys' gymnastics team spurred on to state but came up short of last year's first place JV finish. The season started rather slowly, as the members were being oriented with Ecklin's style, different from previous head coach, Dan Cragg's. Evan built our strength and flexibility. The varsity guys were more aggressive than last year, said Adam Peterson, a varsity horseman. Injuries were not as much of a problem as is most often the case with this rigorous sport. We got through the season with relatively few injuries. said Linh Nguyen, a returning a 11-arounder. The varsity competition was stiffer than the year before, according to Todd Small, a lettering senior. The season was tough at first, and my per- formances were a little rocky, but I learned a lot, said Small. Though the season is taken seriously, individual statistics seem to overshadow the team scores once state competition comes near. The JV squad had an impressive season, finishing fourth in state, not as well as 1987's first place standing, ... but you've got to remember, the people on JV now have only been in gymnastics for one or two years, Small said. Small is a JV horseman and next year's co-captain. Gymnastics has also brought the sister schools together. There were only about six Cooper gymnasts on the Cooper Armstrong team this season. I think it allows for camaraderie with Armstrong instead of always competing against them. It gets the schools a little more together, and that's a good feeling, concluded Small. Boys’ Gymnastics — 205 206 — Girls' Gymnastics INJURIES Sprains, blisters are risks expected of the sport iV hat a tough season for the girls' gymnastics team. They were plagued by in-j ries early in the season and lost four t embers because of them. They were r duced to nine girls. Then one of their captains, Janelle J hnson, resigned because of work c nd school. She still was connected v ith the team as she played the part of c manager and a coach, without an c ificial title as either of the two. John-s m. a senior, said, I love to work with the girls, but I don't have the time to continue for myself. The team practiced at Robbinsdale Senior High School along with Armstrong. Their gymnastics team had about thirty girls with three coaches. Cooper's had eight girls with two coaches, which was an advantage in some ways, such as providing more individualized attention, thought some of the girls. Coach Karen Atkinson, a former Cooper student and member of the gymnastics team said. We need to get more girls out for the gymnastics team if we want to stay separate from the Armstrong team. Right now, there are only seventeen girls' gymnastics teams left in the state. We may be small, but we're strong, said co-captain Tanya Vargas, giving the more and more familiar comment about another one of Cooper's sports. GIRLS GYMNASTICS WE THEY 44.1 ST.

Last winter was short, with little snow. Cooper's co-ed Cross Country ski team completed only about half the meets. Late in the season a blizzard hit and brought some of that sought after snow. From mid-January, the skiers were in a much better mood. Unfortunately, the early lack of snow wasn't the only problem which the team faced. The number of participants decreased rapidly. Minnesota skiers numbered 250 fewer than the previous year. We started with twenty-five skiers and now only twelve are still with us, said Coach Bob O'Hara, who is facing his fourth season since 1974 with snow problems. When the usual ski trails don't have enough snow, the team fills their time other ways. We run for conditioning, wax our skis and hope for more snow, said Sheri Krampitz, senior. Some skiers have gone out of town in search of snow. Others use lakes and ponds that can be skied on. but this is a disadvantage. especially for beginners. When you ski on a lake, you don't get the experience of hills, and it's more slippery. said Krampitz. Though the weather was against them and some meets were cancelled, the team came through the season together. Under bad conditions and with a lack of people, we did our best and everyone improved greatly on their skis, said Willy Enck, captain.

Cross-Country Skiing — 209 USSA Coach accepts inexperience Twenty-two racers comprised the charging force of skiers on Cooper's slalom ski team. Only nine members returned from last year, and the rest of the team had never done any competitive skiing before the 1987-88 season. Tony Pence, a junior, said that this was the main reason for the team's lack of success. Bill Juliar, a returning senior, said, Other teams seem to have a lot more experience... they have many skiers on the USSA (United States Ski Association). Juliar also said that other teams tend to start at an earlier age. Though the team had a couple of close meets, they failed to achieve a victory. According to Juliar, Coach Warren Nordstrom understood that they didn't have a top quality team and didn't pressure them to win, win. His role with the team was to more or less organize, said Juliar. He arranged transportation to practice and for lift tickets. Juliar said that the assistant coach. Brooks Chandler, emphasized technique because he has the racing experience. Juliar said that despite the team's record, he found himself out enjoying the sport on most weekends, and that he would continue skiing for leisure activity. —• f Alter receiving her registration number.

Pit i-1 210 — Slalom Skiing Slalom Skiing — 211 I TIDAL WAVE No divers, few members make team tread in rough waters mall in number, with only four-teen guys on the team com-pared to other swim teams with thirty members. Cooper held its own in meets, usually finishing close, within twenty to twenty-five points of their opponent's score. One good diver could have provided them with a victory in close meets. Although they did not win a meet, they came close to winning quite a number of their meets, and they fell behind after the diving events. We were often tied or ahead before diving, and then we'd lose it after. It's just about impossible to win a meet without divers, but we sure came close. And we never gave up trying, said junior. Mason Schmitz. A continually larger number of swimmers transfer to Armstrong rather than attend Cooper because their swim team has in the past few years had a larger team and a winning record, thus creating another endangered sport at Cooper. Those who remain at Cooper are not all that bothered by the size of their team, though. Junior co-captain, Chad Potter said. We may be a small team, but considering our size, we are quite strong compared to larger teams.

Boys’ Swimming — 213 PUCKS Major strength weakens team l-r-l he difference this year was I that there was a closer bond between the players. “ and we won more games, said Head Coach Ray Cosky. The Hawks finished the regular season at 10-10-1. The pucksters started the season with a bang at Mound Westonka with an 8-2 victory. At the end of the first period, a bench-clearing brawl occurred when, according to defenseman Matt Haberle, an opposing player attacked a Hawk. Apparently, the officials agreed as they gave Mound more penalty minutes. According to Cosky, one highlight of the season was their good start. Winning the Hastings tournament and watching three junior varsity players, Daryl Peterson. John Western, and Chad Jossart, improve to varsity was another major highlight. At the start of the season. Cosky had seemed optimistic about his inexperienced defense. They've given me more positive results than I expected. They're meeting the offense on the blue line and not letting them get in deep. said Cosky. However, at the end of the season, he had changed his thinking, Our main weakness is our defensive team play including the forwards. We're not carrying out our responsibilities when we have to. After a mid-season 4-5 loss in overtime to Armstrong, Armstrong went on to be rated number one. However, Cooper was deflated by the loss. The Armstrong game really took a lot out of us, said junior Mark Hayek. They were ready for their first playoff game in which they beat Shakopee 4-3 in double overtime, but Edina trounced them at Met Center, 7-0, ending their season.

Hockey— 217 SURPRISE Team proves early prediction for poor season to be false Every season brings hope for a better team. Previous records are wiped away, and new faces start to work together, learning the plays and each other's habits. With new coaches, the players also have to relearn techniques and change the patterns they're used to. Three new coaches meant the girls who played basketball needed to adjust to the coaching and methods of Head Coach Hib Hill, Kelli McGuire, junior varsity coach, and the sophomore coach. Jim Knight. All three coaches faced the challenge of turning the team around in hopes of a winning record. It's hard to say how good the team is because I don't know what to compare them to, but they are a great group of girls, said Hill. He was told the team would be lucky to win two games the entire season, but by December they had won the Mound tournament, defeating Wayzata for the title. By the beginning of February they had already established a record of 8-5, tied for third place in the Blue division. Hill makes us work harder overall, in conditioning and shot work, which is showing in our playing, said Deb Id-strom, co-captain. With the playing improving, the team's expectation is higher. They expect to win. Hill said they had lost close games, but they probably balanced out with the close games they won. It's not okay to lose; but when we do, we learn more, and it helps prevent losing in the play-offs. said Char Lewis, co-captain. — While her teammates await their turn to take part in the drill Carla Nolson hits a lay-up.

Girls' Basketball — 221 DISAPPOINTING Hawks finish in last place in Lake Blue Division Struggling throughout the season, the boys' basketball team finished with a record of 1-19. Several factors attributed to their lack of success. First, only two seniors, the captains, played on the varsity squad, making for a very inexperienced team. Second, the tallest starter was 6'4 which is relatively short compared to other teams, and the remaining starters were between 5'11 and 6'1 comprising a surprisingly short team overall. We've worked hard to overcome a serious height deficiency. However, our record does not reflect this toil, said co-captain Scott Hegstad. Lastly, injuries plagued their season. Hegstad suffered a sprained an- — — Al Smith, the team's loading scorer, attempts a shot between two Wayzata defenders.

Another starter, Devin Murphy, fractured his foot and also injured his wrist. Despite these pitfalls, the team's morale was held high according to Hegstad. Squad members cooperated with one another and worked together, each contributing what they had, to strive towards a common goal. Hegstad also said that head coach Ron Bauerly kept the practices disciplined, perhaps the main reason for the team's unity. Reflecting back on the season as a whole, Hegstad says that he has no regrets, and the aspect he liked most was the players themselves. 222 — Boys' Baskotball fH Boys' Basketball — 223 Hustlin' Hawks lack height JUNIOR VARSITY: Front Row: N.

STRENGTH Wrestlers surge forward with team, individual victories Although the wrestling team did not make it to state, they put in a good showing at team regions. They had to place in the top six teams in order to make it back to regional finals and succeeded, placing fourth. However, once they got to the finals, they lost their first match by four points against Jefferson 30-34, putting them out of the competition. Still, the team has done the best of any Cooper wrestling team in about the past ten years, tying for second place in the conference, behind Eden Prairie. They won the majority of their meets, having a six-game winning streak, ending the season with an overall record of 6-4 and a conference record of 4-2. Despite the impressive team records, junior Jason Briggs said, The season went pretty well, many people did not get along; and I think that's what hurt us, perhaps stopping us from doing even better. Individually, senior and co-captain Mark Mata qualified for State, winning three matches during wrestlebacks to place second. Dick Genadek. a junior, was a consistent winner, along with Mata. We had fun. Next year we'll have a great time with four or five guys that might go to State, said Genadek. Genadek placed first in Regions, going undefeated as a heavyweight. In spite of falling short of State, the wrestling team has come a long way since last year when they had a record of 2-9 and were lacking in experience. They increased their skill so much in one year and appear as if they are not finished, still waiting patiently to make their mark. 226 — Wrestling - | No pain, no gain.

Digging out their cleats and dusting off their gloves, the players got ready for the upcoming season. While March winds blew outside, the softball players stayed in the gym to exercise, run, play catch, practice fielding, and bat in the cage against the pitching machine. The routine continued until the snow left the ground. Once outside in the spring air, the team played to a second place finish in the Lake Blue Conference, and finished fourth in regions. This was a year of experience, Coach Gary Stefano said. Five girls returned for springtime '88, leaving room for a number of unseasoned players.

NEAR MISS Ill-starred track members fall short of qualifying for State Although everyone on the boys' and girls' track team contributed, a few members went the extra mile. Carol Rudolph, a senior who graduated last spring, actually did go the extra mile. She ran the two-mile, and did it with success. Rudolph captured the Lake Conference title for the two-mile, but missed going to State by less than one second. However. James White finished his senior year in style by qualifying for State in the triple jump. Senior Mike Schupanitz and juniors Mike Lee and Sue Nichols had a record-breaking season, also. Schupanitz set a school record in the 300 meter hurdles, breaking the old. long-standing record; and Lee set a Cooper record of 10.9 seconds in the 100 meter dash. Sprint races such as the 100 meter dash traditionally end in close calls. At regional finals all runners that competed in the men's 100 meter dash crossed the finish line at approximately the same time. A tenth of a second or so separated one runner from the other. For Lee it was a frustrating race because he missed going to State by one tenth of a second. Nichols felt the pains of defeat also, as she needed to jump only one inch higher to the height of 5 feet 5 inches to qualify for the high jump in State. 232 — Track [ James While provos that competition helps creato friendships as he relaxos with his opponent from Wayzata before ho compotes.

America's pastime. The Twins and the Hawk's both started practicing in March, the Twins in Florida and the Hawks in Cooper's gymnasium. Although the Hawks finish was not as impressive as the Twins' World Series title, the Hawks were competitive to the end, which was a crushing loss to Wayzata. The Hawks were ahead 4-2 when Wayzata scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth to win it 6-4, aided by a Cooper error on a double play ball. Baseball is one of the few sports left at Cooper where it is still necessary to make cuts. As the pitchers got the strikes going, the home run hitters warmed up their muscles with indoor batting practice using the pitching machine in the cage. Our greatest asset was our team speed, said Coach Chuck Tabor. Speed helped the Hawks achieve an incredible stolen base record with seventy (the most a Tabor team had had before was forty-one) and it also gave them more extra-base hits and infield base hits which would have normally been outs. However, they lacked the power to make the big hits. As the Twins showed, speedy runs can't make up for a grand slam. 234 — Baseball — Pitcher Tim Palm watchos the opponent's pro-gamo batting practice.

Beating the odds of 150-1, and under the leadership of new manager Tom Kelly the Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers in Detroit to earn the American League Pennant and a chance for the world title. Gary Gaetti was named American League Series MVP. When the St. Louis Cardinals won the National League pennant by defeating the San Francisco Giants, they came to Minneapolis to play the first ever World Series game under a dome.

Grand slams, decibel levels, and homer hankies highlighted the series that the underdog Twins weren't expected to win. It took seven games to decide, but Minnesota triumphed over Whitey Herzog's Cardinals with a 4-2 seventh game win.

On the last day of school as the final bell rang out. students tossed notebooks in the air and littered the hallways, ending the school year. The year was characterized by change. In September. Hawks were faced with new teachers, changes in the smoking lounge policies, schedules, shorter lunch mods, lunch cards, attendance and final exam policies, longer classes and a later graduation date. Enough to overwhelm the average high school student. Cooper took eve- out with Stofa rything in stride, and with style. Having demonstrated against a new schedule two years ago, the seven-period scheduling system went into effect on the first day of school. Along with this change came longer class hours and shorter lunch mods. Adjusting to these alterations took time, but by the end of the year no one even realized just how big a change it had been. From drama to sports, publications to academics everyone had their time in the light. Although sports teams and other groups may not have made it to state or been recognized as they should have been. Cooper students rose se to the top with their own style. For the graduating seniors Coop r shaped and formed them throu h three years, getting them ready i whatever was to face them in the i-ture.
