From the Tops News January 1963-THE HISTORY OF KOPS
KOPS, as the honor society of TOPS, was first established in 1954. By this time many TOPS had taken off pounds sensibly and reached their weight goal. KOPS was established to encourage these members to stay in Tops and keep off pounds sensibly (and satisfactorily). The first graduating class of KOPS was held at the TOPS Annual Convention held in Chicago in 1955. Official registration of KOPS started in 1957. Kops registration card #1 was issued to Bertha Retzlaff of Milwaukee, WI who lost 110 pounds in 1951 to reach her goal.
