Bob Kortuem recounted the story behind the 80 foot blue spruce now known as the “Cooper Tree” in front of the school. The famous DeBorgia film makers and joke-filled travelogue speakers, the Cooper brothers, Don and Dennis used to jump over that tree during their school days at the DeBorgia School House around 1945.
