Draw up your chair and let us live again the events of our high school days as recorded in our memory book. Here is an item telling of our bashfulness as fresh- men. The great school awed and frightened us and the poor freshies received the blame for everything that went wrong. On this page are tokens of our first party. 'Twas given in December, which makes us associate it with Christmas. Each English class did its share in providing something for a truly successful entertainment. Here we have the cast of Miss Civilization, which was presented at the Memorial Building. Look below at these two Green Freshies who starred in basket ball. Do you recognize them? The next thing which greets our eyes is a page with 1924-25 on it. No- tice the boys in football togs. They are the boys who made the high school team. We certainly were famous in athletics that year, for here are the numerals awarded to the boys who won the inter-class tournament. Then we find there were three boys this year on the high school basketball team. On this page is a write-up of our class party. What pleasures that party recalls! Every one agrees that it was the most successful one we had. Music was furnished by our own orchestra and everyone started to learn to dance. See this picture of the heroine in A Girl to Order, which we gave in assembly. That was our last year in the old building-one not soon to be forgotten. Juniors! How dignified we were getting to be. We were now given a chance to show our superiority over the lower classmen. Here is a picture of the class basketball team. They again took all honors in the class tourna- ment. We won the Hematite sale too. Do you remember that in order to give a successful Prom, we needed money? To get this money we gave a class play The Youngest. That press clipping shows how much it was appreciated. Here on the last page we find a program from the Prom. This was the biggest event of the year and most successful. So we turn a page to records of last year, The senior class was justified in feeling proud of the men it furnished for both of the school athletic teams, and a cluster of snaps brings them all before us. That note so neatly sealed and pasted recalls the senior party which was given in the gym where every one was able to enjoy him- self to the utmost. Pepped up by this party, we stepped out and won the Hematite sale again, as that Hematite slip suggests. A knot of blue and yellow paper is a souvenir of our Christmas program when seniors entertained the school in the Memorial Building, by pre- senting a group of plays. The next attempt at dramatic art is the presenta- tion of the senior play in June, and beside it is a paper spoon to remind us of the best picnic any senior class has had. A commencement program adorns the last page and we close the book with a feeling of regret that there is no more of that volume and with satis- faction over the memories it brings. .. XV... , at -.. . l35l A NIGHT AT AN INN H9505 After a hard day's work selling post-holes, I took my sample-case in hand and walked down the main street of the strange town looking for a place to get a good meal. I finally came upon an attractive-looking restau- rant and decided to go in. I had no more than entered when I recognized my old friend Art Pearse behind the polished soda fountain! He was as business-like as ever in spite of added avoirdupois and was as glad to see me as I was to see him. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Kelly Larson, who was chief cook. Evidently Kelly and Art were running the place in partnership. After an excellent meal we began to talk about, among other things, our former classmates. Here are some extracts from our evening's conversation : J. D. Reid is still making his living by his pen, that is, he is a prison warder. He puts offenders on bread and water and gives them a cook book to read. Carl Hagstrom has gone into the scratch pad business. He sells scratch pads as a cure for the seven year itch. Waino Nelmark tried to grow cube sugar from cube roots but the expe- riment failed. Whitney Dixon has become a poet. His big trouble is not that there isn't a brain cell working but that there isn't a brain work selling. Richard Luoma has become a man of parts. He is selling automobile accessories. Buzzie Urquhart is playing the organ in a moving picture theatre. All he has to do is to tickle the ivories and look up at the stars all night. Parson Leksell, who was always a letter-man in high school, is keeping up that name by holding down a job as mail-carrier. Gordon Palmquist is almost ready to patent his invention of an auto- mobile that will run without an engine. The only thing that he is stuck on is how to make it go. Joe Zegoski is having no trouble at all in sticking to his job. He is working in a glue factory. Armas Rintala has been abroad in Paris. He knows a lot of French nowg in fact he has a whole book full of addresses. Caz Zambrovitz has one of the easiest jobs of them all. He works only once a. year or so and receives enormous wages. He's a professional prize- fighter. Gerty Heiskanen has achieved success as prima donna with a large opera company and Jack Speare is the company's foremost tenor soloist. Maurice Friedman tried out for second bass but had no voice in the matter. Oki Johnson made tirst bass on four bawls. As an aviator Sam Niemi knows his business from the ground up. After all her training in the dead languages, Lillie Swanson has become a medium and now communicates with spirits. l36l Reynold Rintala found out that exercise would kill all germs. Now he is trying to find out some way to make them exercise. Jeannette Simon is the founder and active leader of the S. F. W. G. P. B. QSociety for Finding Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondesj. Jean Blackwell has organized a jazz orchestra of which she is manager and vocal soloist. The orchestra coonsists of Laura Johnson playing the piano, ,Taimi Silberg the banjo, Eleanor Burrell the saxaphone, Ellen Mo- berg the Cornet, and Shirley Oliver the tuba. The orchestra has been ac- cused of being oil' Key because they threw away all their copies of the Star Spangled Banner. Alice Anderson is still making good use of her voice. She has a job in a hospital administering vocal anesthetic. Gunnar Lorenson is making big money since he struck a castor oil well while prospecting in the West. Herman Pintoski has become a sailor. He is still quite a card, probably on account of his association with decks. Joe Walisiewicz has a job with the government as an executioner and now he shows innocent murderers how to get the hang of it. Lempi Raivio has always been quiet and reserved. We could under- stand her being quiet but we wondered for whom she was reserved. We ind she ha.s married Wilho Maki. Isabelle Johnson was fired from her position as a nurse. She made the terrible mistake of calling the Secretary of the Interior to operate on a case of appendicitis. At first Margaret Haggerson didn't pan out as a cook, but she made big money when she foound a new way of preparing track meats and traffic Jam. After swimming the English Channel in record time, Jeanette Barron is now looking for bigger and betters channels. She can swim so fast she wrote her name in the water and swam back in time to read it. Lloyd Jackson is not afraid of any one. He tells them all where to get oil now that he's a street car conductor. ' ' Rose Isaac is doing newspaper work. She sells them at a newstand on the corner. Evonne Jacquart lost her job as an organist and now she is a steno- grapher. Her only trouble is that she doesn't know what to do with her feet when she's playing the typewriter. Gust Hantula is making his living by the sweat of his frau. His wife takes in washing. Lucille Anderson is running a restaurant. She lets her customers eat dirt cheap. Eugene Sokolowski put everything he gets on his back. He is a big game hunter in Africa. Irving Hellen has a soft job as tester in a mattress factory. Frances Holemo Doesn't make much money in her bakery because she sells what she kneads. We concluded the reunion by singing some of the high school songs. After we were going good someone threw a bomb at us but we didn't pay any attention to that. That's us all over. l37l CLASS WILL KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That we, the seniors of the Luther L. Wright High School of Ironwood, in Gogebic County, and in the States of Michigan, having come to the end of our rope and being to a certain degree CFJ sound in mind and body in spite of the weight of painful, exacting, and overwhelming travail undergone by us, do hereby make and publish this our last will and testament, thereby revoking all wills by us at any time heretofore made. First: We do give, render, and bequeath unto our successors, the Juniors, the diilicult problem of answering the everlastingly puzzling question, To Be Or Not To Be Qflunctj. Second: We give to all on-coming students, who shall have the Qgoodj fortune to be assigned a term paper of a mere fifteen hundred words by Prof. Wm. McCoy, the advice to wait until the night before the day of reck- oning and then to dispatch the said insignificant task in a few hours. Third: We render to any future Hamlet players the enormous spades which were so energetically used in the staging of the grave diggers scene in Miss Jean Goudie's English class. Furthermore: We contribute, to whosoever may be in greatest need, our hard-earned ability to ascertain accurately the exact location of the presid- ing teacher in study hall with the minimum amount of ostentation. Wilho Maki reluctantly wills to Polly Michalski the curling iron that kept his wayward thatch in such exquisite order. Arthur Pearse entrusts his ebullient saxaphone to Russell Bennett on condition that he does his practising tive miles out in the country. Milton Collick wills a volume of Selected Wise Cracks which he has perpetrated on his innocent classmates to any lower classman who desires expert instruction in the art. J. D. Reid wills his appetite for Latin to Billy Conley. May it never be satisfied! l Laura McBain leaves the rope with which she tethered her last locker key to anyone who will qualify for its possession by losing four keys. Whitney Dixon bequeaths his extraordinary ability to rise at 8.20 and arrive in his home room at 8:29M to any student who lives sutliciently near the high school and wants those precious extra minutes of beauty sleep. Lucille Anderson wills her gum to anyone who wishes to chew the wrinkles out of it. Finally: We leave unto all the vision of a new athletic 'neld with the hope that its materialization will further good sportsmanship and clean athletics. In witness whereof we have set our hand and caused the seal of the Senior class to be atlixed. A Done at the city of Ironwood, this Fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Seven. L D.

CLASS HISTORY Being aware of the fact that we were the last class to have the honor of putting in a freshman year in the Senior High School, we decided to close the annals of freshman class history with a glorious year, and we did. 0ur class party, just be- fore Christmas,wa.s a big success. The class play, The Open Road, kept the upper-classmen roaring with laughter. As recognition of our accomplishments, we were awarded second place in the School Spirit Cup race. Our sophomore year was even a more successful one. Our class party was such a good one and the students all co-oper- ated so well that Mr. High published a special letter commending the sopho- mores for their fine spirit. In June we entertained the students with an exceedingly humorous play called a Box of Monkeys. And to crown the year's accomplishments, we won the School Spirit Cup. This year, as juniors, we are again aiming straight for the School Spirit Cup. Besides the Prom in June, which, of course, was the biggest social event of the year, we held a fine class party in February. Our class play, A Lucky Break proved a worthy successor to the excellent Playcrafters' play, The Whole Town's Talking. This is the end of our third successful year, and vacation time once more calls us, but we would not be so jubilant if we were not coming back to spend another year in dear old I. H.

Class History We, the sophomores of 1927, entered into the Senior High well acquainted with our fellow students and surroundings, but coming from Junior High we had, of course, many new things to learn. This year we have had three sophomores on the regular football team, one on the basketball team, and several subs on both squads. The sophomores held a successful party in February, and the sophomore program given be- fore the students in assembly was very entertaining. Scholarship has not been neglected however, and each month saw a number of sophomores on both the Honor Roll and the Special M6Hll011 List. We are also proud to add that a sophomore, Edith Ohman, brought honor to the class by writing the song. School of Honor. which has been adopted by the school. We have two more years in which to do our share in keep- ing this a School of progress, onward faxing. l55l 56 :f::gra7'e'14 Illini-gm: l!s1IEiJ,mJ2f!1f!:m,,.Lmf Iw 1 nl llllull Review of the Football Season Ironwood's most successful season came to a close in the fall of '26, Our coaches, Black and Newcomb, have turned out many successful teams in the past six years, but Ironwood fans called the team of '26 the greatest team in the history of the school. The only defeat that was handed to any of the I. H. S. football teams in the past six years was dealt them by the Epidemic. Because of the closing of the schools all games were cancelled by opposing teams. The school authorities tried in vain to arrange games during the epidemic. Schools reopened in November and the Red Devils played their two remain- ing games which were with Wakefield and with John Marshall High School, one of the strongest teams in the vicinity of Chicago. The Red Devils' first game was with the Alumni. This was a hard tussle for the high school team, which was mostly composed of green men, but they defeated the Alumni 7-0. The following week Superior Central invaded Ironwood but was defeated 15-0. The year before the Red Devils played them to a scoreless tie. Then came Negaunee. Ironwood was out for revenge for the last year's defeat in basketball. With splendid blocking and interference the Red Devils ran up the score of 73-0. Now the enemy Infanti1e Paralysis invaded Ironwood. The schools were closed for a month and no games were played. The team, keeping up hope of playing the out-of-town games, went to Gogebic Lake to keep in training. However, as one game after another was cancelled, they came back at the end of a week to await the removal of the quarantine. Schools reopened early in November and with a couple of days to practice the Red Devils met the Wakefield team and defeated them. A fitting climax to a brilliant season was the game played with John Marshall High. Marshall High was unable to check the brilliant running of the fleet-footed backs and the dazzling aerial attack of the Red Devils, and was defeated 27-0. The largest crowd in the history of the school witnessed the game, which was played on a field cleared of snow for the occasion. The spectators were convinced that the team of '26 was the best in the history of the school. Throughout the season the team played a clean game and proved them- selves a credit to their school and city. Future teams will have to step lively to keep up the record set by the team of '26, Following is the summary of the successful season: Ironwood ..................... 7 Alumni ........... . . 0 Ironwood . . . . . . 15 Superior Central . . . . 0 Iroonwood . . . . . 73 Negaunee .... . . . . 0 Ironwood . . . . . . 31 Wakeheld . . . . . . . . 0 Ironwood . . . . . . 27 John Marshall . . . . . . . 0 Ironwood . . . .... 153 Opponents . . . . 0 l53l Football Squad First row: Osmo Koski, Lionel Jacquart, Waino Nelmark, Rudolph Land- retti, Joe Walisiewicz, Ambrose Wyzlic, Whitney Dixon, Armas Rintala, Clyde Urquhart, Mauno Heiskanen, Jacob Kangas.

P.-Captain-Senior Under the excellent leadership of Captain Caz, this year's team was proclaimed the best in the history of the school. As quarterback Caz played a brainy game and never failed to pilot his team through to a perfect victory. His work in the John Marshall game proved Caz to be the cleverest quarter- back the Ironwood High School has ever had. WILHC MAKI-Tackle-All U. P. Senior Too bad Wilho graduates this year. He has been one of Ironwood's best tackles, and his playing was one of the features of every' game. Wilho is real university calibre and the Ironwood High School should hear more of him in the future. Here's wishing you the best of luck, Wilho! WALFRED JOHNSON-Tackle All U. P.-Captain-elect-Junior Walfred is the third of three brothers to win all U. P. fame. Ironwood is sure to have another excellent team next year. Captain-elect Johnson is a tireless worker and plays football every minute of the game. His powerful work on both defense and offense was an inspiration to his team mates. RUSSELL LEKSELL-Fullback All U. P.-Senior Here is just about the classiest foot- ball player that ever graced an Iron- wood gridiron. His every movement was one of grace and perfect coordina- tion. With no lost motion and seem- ingly without eifort, Parson could cross the last white line for touchdown after touchdown. A better line-plunger and receiver of forward passes the Ironwood High School has never had. His deadly tackling on defense was heart-rending to the opponents. He was truly called the galloping ghost of the Upper Peninsula. DONALD WEST-Center-All U. P. Senior This was Don's last and best year on the team. He was a sure passer on offense and oh defense a hard tackler, and at times was uncanny at intercept- ing passes. His graduation in June marks the passing of one of our best centers of all time. ARMAS RINTALA-End-Senior Here is a man whose position never caused the coaches any worry. He could always be depended on to up- hold his part of the work in every game. A steady consistent player, Ar- mas was always there in the tnickest of the iight. His position at left end will be hard to ill next season. AMBROSE WYZLIC--Center Sophomore Ambrose would have played center regularly but for Don West. All Am- brose lacked was experience and with what he received this year he should easily till West's shoes at center next fall. JOHN OSTERMAN--End-Junior The real ind of the year, John came into his own the latter part of the sea- son and is destined to star at end next year unless he is placed in the backheld. He should make an out- standing man on the squad next sea- son. A real football player! RICHARD LUOMA-Halfback-Senior This was Richarcl's second and last year on the team. Though small in stature he was one of the fastest men on the team. His brilliant work all year reached the climax in the Chicago game. Too bad Richard is graduating this year but we can't keep him with us always. JOE WALISIEWTCZ-Lineman--Senior By his steady work in each game Joe won his letter this year. Only a wealth of good lineman kept Joe from being a regular. A hard fighter, he always in the thickest of the tight. WHITNEY DIXON-Guard-Senior Fat developed gradually and was playing a wonderful game at the close of the season. He used every pound of his avoir-dupois with telling effect. We are sorry that Whitney won't be back with us next fall. -,mt V. 2 vt 1 i M. ,, X . .. to .X V . J . 322 1 51 sv. , Y 4 tw. 9 s . i .

Playing his first year he went like a veteran in every game. Next year's backtield will be built around Polly as he is the only one not lost by grad- uation this year. HERMAN PINTKOSKI-H alfback Senior Herman was a hard-hitting halfback, always ready to deliver the goods when called on. The feature of his work was his fifty-six yard run for a. touchdown in the Negaunee game. Herman, we are sorry you are leaving us this year! GEORGE AHONEN-End-Senior For his consistently hard work and in recognition of his never-die spirit, George was awarded his letter. He is the 'smallest man ever to be thus honored during the time of Coaches Black and Newcomb. SAM DAVEY-End--Senior Sam comes from a football family and is the third member to iight for the glory of the Ironwood High School on the gridiron. Unlike his two famous brothers, Sam is small of stature. He won his place on the team by displayi ing a wonderful fighting spirit. A little man with exceedingly big ways-that's Sam! ON NI 1VlAKI-Guard-Junior Onnie hails from the Norrie where several of our best players have come from. He was our kick-of man and also could punt well when called upon. We are sure he will be a shining light next year. RUDOLPH LANDRETTI-Lineman Junior Another gcod prospect for next year. Rudolph was developing rapidly near the close of the season and is sure to hit this stride next year. 63 Basketball Review The basketball season was late in getting a start because of the long foot- ball schedule. Prospects for the team were bright because of the return of seven of last year's letter men, although two of the regulars were on the casualty list when the season started. Ironwood played one of the stiffest schedules in the history of the school, winning nine games and losing eight. The first game was played with Washburn who defeated the Red Devils. Crystal Falls then furnished the opposition in the first regular Michigan game and, after a hard battle, Ironwood won 25-16. When Ironwood traveled to Menominee and defeated the Maroons by a substantial score of 25-18, the team had begun to show real team work. The following day Ironwood invaded Iron Mountain, but was defeated in a hard fought game 18-17. In the next game Washburn again proved too strong for Ironwood, though the score was close. Bessemer was the next opponent, and was defeated by the Ironwoodites by a decisive score 21-17. When Ironwood traveled to Bessemer for the second encounter with the County Seaters, the score was 23-30 in our opponents' favor. That defeat was the first of several. Wakefield invaded Ironwood and walked away with the Red Devils by a score of 14-18. Negaunee defeated them 15-19, and Iron Mountain again downed Ironwood in a hard-fought game. Ironwood came out of the slump and in a fast game the next week Wake- field found herself on the short end of the score. In the district tournament, which was held at Ironwood, the local team met Crystal Falls and Bessemer and by defeating them, won the Class B Championship. Ironwood traveled to Marquette to take part in the Upper Peninsula Tournament, and in the first round defeated Bessemer by a score of 14-9. Ironwood's next encounter was with Ishpeming, the victor over Menominee, and Ironwood met defeat at the hands of the team which won the champion- ship of the Upper Peninsula. The season of '26-'27 can justly be called a success. After a slow start Ironwood won nine out of her seventeen games. Ironwood loses four of her regulars, but five letter men return and Ironwood should be a powerful con- tender for the championship next year. The season's record follows: Ironwood 13-Washburn 31 Ironwood 14-Wakefield 18 Ironwood 25-Crystal Falls 16 Ironwood 15-Negaunee 19 Ironwood 25--Menominee 18 Ironwood 16-Iron Mountain 18 Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood 17-Iron Mountain 18 15-Washburn 19 21-Bessemer 11 32-Crystal Falls 27 27-Menominee 17 14-Bessemer 30 l64l Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood Ironwood 19-Wakefield 17 20-Crystal Falls 15 19-Bessemer 9 14-Bessemer 9 13-Ishpeming 19 328-Opponents 301 Basketball Team Top row: Coach Black, Wilho Maki, Ambrose Wyzlic, Donald West.

New members coming in after football and basketball season have filled the places left vacant by graduation last year, making this year's membership about the same as last. Eligibility for membership in this organization consists in winning a letter in one of the major sports, basketball or football. The purpose of the club is to promote and perpetuate fellowship among the letter men throughout the year. The club stands for clean athletics and advocates good sportsmanship. The candidate for membership is welcomed into the club with a warm initiation, after which the full-fledged member is entitled to wear the gold block-letter I pin which is the emblem of the club. A pass is given to grad- uting members in good standing which will admit them to high school games in the sport in which they won their letters. The club felt it an honor to be able to help in some way at the funeral of the late Captain Bond, whom the boys had come to know as an ardent fan and supporter of high school athletics. The club attended the funeral in a body, some of the members acting as flower carriers. The I activities have been somewhat limited this year. They had the concessions for the sale of refreshments at some of the district basketball tournament games. The annual picnic at the close of the year was a great success as usual. The faculty sponsors of the club are the two coaches, R. O. Black and Max Newcomb. The officers are: President, Russell Leksellg vice president, Cazmer Zambrovitzg secretary and treasurer, Donald West. We hope that next year's club will be a success in spite of the unusually large loss sustained by graduation of members. l67l lnterclass Basketball The interclass basketball tournament, which was held before the opening of the regular season, was a great success this year. For the first time there has been almost as much interest taken in the tournament as in the regular school team. Each class claimed its team to be the best of all and they cer- tainly had scrapping teams that kept the students guessing. The junior class won the championship from the sophomores. The main purpose of this tournament is to develop material for the first team. It also promotes school spirit and gives every fellow a chance to play basket ball whether he makes the school team or not. Junior High Sophomores Juniors Seniors Serbin Wyzlic DeTuncq Luoma Wright Michalski Koski Pearse Perlich Larson Rye Speare Stulich McGill Osterman Arthur Minnear Gregory Rolfsman Davy lntramural Basketball At the close of the season the home rooms of the Senior High School took part in a basketball tournament which aroused much enthusiasm. No boy was out for the school team was eligible, so opportunity was given to a large number of other students to show what they could do in basketball. Mr. Black's room copped the championship and the prize, a silver cup. The team was captained by Sam Davey. The team was composed of Sam Davey, Osmo Koski, Earl Bellore, John Osterman, and Gordon Scott. I6Sl The National Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools This society is a national organization whose members include the larger high schools of the United States. Ironwood High has been a member since 1924. The purpose is to foster high scholarship among the athletes, to stimu- late a desire for balanced training, and to develop more outstanding leaders in high schools. Only those athletes who have earned their letter and whose scholastic work for three consecutive semesters is better than the general average of the school are eligible to the society. The emblem of this society is a beauti- ful gold key. The following Ironwood High School athletes enjoy membership in this society: 1925 1926 1927 Colin Gilbert Waldemar Vicklund Richard Luoma Oscar Marauder William Wick Armas Rintalla Ray Smeeth Arthur Hakenen Joe Walisiewicz Donald West l69l Top row: Earl Bellore, Allan Arthur, student manager, Henry Nezworski, Oki Johnson, Nick Rajkovich, Waino Nelmark, Julius Hill.

Bottom row: Jildo Spera, Bernard Thompson, Herbert Mattson, Luther Swanson, Ken- neth Rowe, Lloyd Campbell, Nlelvin Olson. X Tumbling and Apparatus Teams The interest in the physical education program was increased this year by the addition of two minor sports, tumbling and apparatus work. The teams wo-rked on a detinite practice schedule throughout the season, and were a source of much satisfaction both to the department and to the general public, They gave ten very successful exhibitions eight of which were given as a feature at the local basket-ball games. Special mention should be made of the excellent work done by George N ordling, their captain, and Fritz Bekola, who did much of the under-man work in the combination tumbling, and Tierra Koskie, the aerial star of every performance. Tim, the smallest member of the organization, did very clever work as top man for most of the pyramid building and as the third man in the combination tumbling. Julius Hill holds first place on the apparatus team for his skillful work on the horizontal bar. The amount of work covered by the boys will be better understood when it is realized that over sixty new exercises and stunts were learned and used in the ten performances, for eight of these there was no duplication of the things done. Each member of the team who made the required number of points was awarded an emblem. Mr. Cramlet, their coach, expects that the teams will make an even bet- ter showing next year. l70l 71 721 5 mqlqlga ..-l'llnqunugglylllnnnlg flblieffa-X I mst il.-:L-L.:.I,ll::..-.,,l -,, - 5. -5,1 - 'I l..Z...?l.' 'U l.1 ., Girls? Friendship League The Girls' Friendship League, of which every girl automatically becomes a member upon her enrollment in the Senior High School, has proved an im- portant factor in the school life. The League was organized last year and in its two years of existence it has become a firmly established organization in the school. The purpose of the League is first, to promote a democratic spirit among the girls and throughout the school, second, to help each girl to de- velop her initiative and originality, third,to stimulate every girl to build to- ward! a definite occupation or professonq fourth, to serve as a unit for girls' activities. The work of the league is divided into four departments, each having its own sponsors and its own committees. Miss Hiller is sponsor of the Social Service Department and Miss Leino of the Social Service Committee. Miss Spaulding and Miss Watson sponsor the Vocational Department. Miss Flatermersch is sponsor of the Personal Etliciency Department, and Miss Prout of the Health Committee while Miss O'Connor is league sponsor and sponsor of the Entertainment Committee. Various teas were given for the girls during the year and the Mother and Daughter Banquet proved very successful. The League also sponsored a moving picture Ella Cinders at the Rex Theatre, which replenished the League's treasury. The Inner Circle, which consists of members chosen by the League, acts as the executive board. The following otlicers were elected: Taimi Silberg, president: Isabel O'Donnell. vice president: Clarine Trethewey. secretary- treasurer. INNER CIRCLE MEMBERS First row.'

Prizes were awarded to the girls for being not only the healthiest but also the most physically fit girls in school. The Woman's Club and The Girls' Friendship League presented the prizes. That a strong, healthy mind usually goes with a strong, healthy body was again proved by these examinations. Most of the girls ranking high in the contest are doing superior school work and the rest of them average work. The following girls received honorable mention in the contest: Senior High School Saima Hendrickson Lois Burrell Taimi Silberg Ethel Judd Isabelle Johnson Junior High School Jean O'Nei1l f2ndj Gertrude Makela Mildred A.

The major aim of the club has been the promotion of good health in the individual and the community. Rules of conduct for healthful living were developed and applied and special emphasis was placed on the reason for these rules. The various topics which have been discussed by the Health Club have dealt with material to safeguard the well-being of the members. These topics have been made as practical and as interesting as possible. One of the features introduced by the program committee was the presen- tation of a playlet Health, Other feature were a poster contest, and an ad- dress by Miss Johnson the school nurse.

E771 The Cosmopolitan Club Q The primary purpose of the Cosmopolitan Club is to interest its members in some of the iiner things of life which in detail cannot be given in the or- dinary high school curriculum. Through the activities of the organization, a desire for more intensive examination and appreciation of the important values of life is fostered. When the club was first organized, because of the programs contemplated, it was thought best to erect and maintain a scholarship standard as a requisite for membership. With this in mind the present group of people were invited to join. It is understood that a grade of B will automatically cause a member to become inactive. This club has had interesting weekly programs, including such topics as: Washington, Lincoln, and travels in the United States and Europe. We have also been favored with excellent speeches from people outside the club. The oiiicers of the club are: president, Rose Isaac, vice president, Aarre Lahtig secretary-treasurer, Ina Newhouse, sponsor, Mr. McCoy. The following are members of the club: Top row: Mike George, Fanny Nelmark, Warren Ekman, Evelyn Wester, Billy Conley, Doris Savage, Mr. McCoy.

' l7Sl The Science Club The Science and Adventure Club was organized last year under the spon- sorship of Mr. I-luller, and it has been very successful this year with Mr. MacAllister as sponsor. The aim of the club is to create more interest in science and to promote this interest by actual adventures in science. In the first part of the year the club was divided into various groups which were interested in certain branches of science. The groups are known as the Photography, Radio, Optical, and Chemical Experiments Sections. These sections have set times for their meetings, and at each meeting of the whole club a certain group puts on a program. The programs have been in- teresting and educational.

Starting the year with a ninety-dollar debt, the club paid up the deficit of the previous year and contributed a hundred dollars to the fund for furnishing the activity room. The first play to be presented was Gestures by Lawton Campbell, In the cast Were: Mary Rowe, Clyde Urquhart, Whitney Dixon, Allan Arthur, Mabel Medlyn, Mauno Heiskanen, Earl Nordling, and Corrinne Barnaby. The triumph of the year was The Whole Town's Talking by John Emer- son and Anita Loos. This play was presented at the Memorial Building on January nineteenth before a capacity crowd. It kept the audience in a con- stant uproar and received the maximum of praise. Many requests were made for its reproduction. The Boot, a Russian farce by Anton Tchekoff, was presented for the Kiwanis, Rotary, and Woman's Clubs. Members of the cast were Mary Junttila, Whitney Dixon, and J. D. Reid. The junior class play, A Lucky Break by Zelda Sears, had many Play- Crafters in its cast.

A more democratic spirit was sought after and all traces of imitation of fraternities and exclusiveness have been removed until it is now a representative group of sixty students with democratic ideas and ideals. During the year the meetings have been devoted to a variety of subjects, discussions of current boy-problems, lectures on topics which are left un- touched by school courses, business and social meetings where open forum is maintained. Every meeting pointed the way to a richer and fuller spiritual and moral life without preaching or moralizing. This year the Hi-Y has sponsored matinee dances, given a successful assembly program, and carried lronwood's good name and fame to Escanaba through the Older Boys' Conference, There our president Allan Arthur, gave the response to the Mayor and did it so well that the toast master took time out to comment on Ironwood, the coming city. Our Fathers' and Sons' Banquet is the banquet of the year. Hi-Y members have been leaders in all clubs and events of the school and are carrying forward the three aims of the club-Better Schools, Better Living and Better Athletics. The club has been ably sponsored by 1Vl1'. John Quarters whom the mem- bers wish to thank for his friendship and help. i321 Hi- Y Members UPPER PICTURE Top row: William Ross, Thorington Jackson, Frank Delene, Kelly Larson, Richard Luoma, Gustave Rolfsman, Anton Skowronski, Reynold Rintala, Clyde Ur- quhart, Waino Nelmark, Archie Johnson, Armas Rintala.

H541 Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club has done good work this year in spite of the fact that the turnout was small to begin with. The football team alleviated the situation somewhat by contributing their stentorian voices to the cause early in the year. The boys practised every Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 to 9:00, and on Wednesdays, attended mixed chorus practise of both the girl-s' and boys' glee clubs. The club's activities for the greater part of the year were confined to singing in the music assemblies but a great deal of work was put on the production of Lelawa1a, this year's operetta. The other big musical event of the year was the state contest at Marquette. Twenty members of each glee club and twenty members of the band were sent to compete with other high school organizations of the Upper Peninsula. The club officers were: Jack Speare, president, Donald West secretary and treasurer. Mr. Gunnar Malmin, director, deserves a great deal of the credit for any success the club had. The boys enjoyed their work under him very much because he was a regular fellow and knew his stuff. Here's success to next year's club!

I85l lronwood High School Band During the fall of 1926 the Ironwood High School Band was reorganized under the leadership of Mr. Malmin. The band consists of approximately thirty-five members who have forty minute practices four periods each week. The following officers were elected: Russell Nicholls, president, and Clarine Trethewey, secretary and treasurer. The band aroused much enthusiasm both at the football and basket-ball games. Each member wore a cap and band of the school colors. Everyone worked diligently to make a successful showing for Ironwood in the contest which was held at Marquette in May.

Believing it to be Gabrie1's special symphony, they hastily ascended the many flights of stairs in hope of at last reaching heaven. Ah! at last the source of this heavenly music was found. There, on the third floor in the music room, were the ardent young musicians, and they didn't even have wings. It seems impossible to believe that mortals were capable of doing such wonders with instruments. The instruments that were assembled here were twelve violins, three violas, two cornets, two clarinets, three saxaphones, a drum, two trombones, a piano, a bass, and a baritone. Marquette or bust was the motto every student had and meant to car- ry out. Ironwood had never taken part in a musical contest, but this year that record has been broken. At last the visitors departed, delighted to think that in this dreary world of ours could be found a tiny place resembling Heaven, Top row: Arthur Pearse, Eleanor Burrell, Russell Bennetts, Clarine Trethewey, Elmer Johnson, Alfred D'A11tonio, Russell Nicholls, Louis Pydynkowski, Armas Antinoja.

The purpose of the club is to promote in- terest aud enthusiasm in all high school activities by having each home-room representative carry back to his home-room those ideas and plans which originated in the club as a means for the promotion of such a spirit. The club has done much toward the promotion of athletics especially by its ex- tensive advertising. The members are boosters not only in name but also in fact. The officers of the organization are: President, James Inchg vice-presi- dent, Armas Rintalag secretary-treasurer, Oliver Nelson. Its members are: Inez Anderson, Jeanette Barron, Alvar Carlborn, Betty Connors, Elliot Fred- rickson, Adeline Gustafson, Helen Hill, James Inch, Rose Isaac, Sidney Jones, Lionel Jacquart, Russell Lutey, Alex Michalski, Fanny Nelmark, Stella Mackewitz, Oliver Nelson, Wynand Nieuwenkamp, Jennie Peterson, George Prusi, Russell Pakonen, Gordon Palmquist, Armas Rintala, Tony Spera, Sam Saden, Elizabeth Trezise, Mildred Young, and Cazmer Zambrovitz. l33l Other Clubs C Aside from the clubs whose pictures appear in the Hematite, there are several others which play an important part in the school and are enjoyed by a great number of students. One of these is the French Club, which is sponsored by Miss Moehlen- kamp. Students were eligible for membership if they had taken two years of French, or were taking it this year. They studied French games, songs, manners, customs, and ideals. The study of the heroes of France was a feature of the weekly meetings. They have no regular oiiicers, but elect a. chairman and a program committee which acts for only one grading period, at the end of which another set is chosen. Two swimming clubs were organized this year, one for Senior High boys sponsored by Mr. Cramlet, and one for girls under the leadership of Miss O'Neil1. Home Economics was not neglected either, for there were two clubs or- ganized for the purpose of learning how to make home life convenient and pleasant. The girls studied foods and learned how to plan and to make well balanced meals. Miss Emerson sponsored the senior club. The ofiicers were: Isabel Rowe, president, Enid Lobb, secretary, Rosemary Darrow, treasurer. There was also a Camp Cookery Club which taught senior high boys to use their wits and fingers in getting a meal out in the open. This club met with Miss Pennell, and was thoroughly enjoyed by its twenty-eight members. A very successful club was the National Capital Club sponsored by Miss King. The members studied affairs of the capital, using the Washington Sun- day Star as the basis of discussion. They made imaginary trips to the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, Mt. Vernon, the Congressional Library, and other historic places. They had some very good programs reviewing Robert T. Shakleton's Book of Washington. The oiiicers of this club were: Viola Wirtonen, president, Russell Beddow, vice-president, Anna Winn, secretary and treasurer. The artistically inclined students were much interested in the Art Club which Miss Laughlin organized. The Art C1ub's oiiicers were Luella Liimak- ka, president, Ethel Moore, vice-president, Gertrude Mattila, secretary and treasurer. They made such things as table covers, scarfs, memory books, and plaques. The Novelty Club was also sponsored by Miss Laughlin, and its members made enameled articles and did tie and die work. The officers of this club were: Nelmie Simila, president, Ernest Jackson, secretary- treasurer. The Basketry Club learned how to make such things as mats, trays, and baskets. Each of these clubs was well represented in the Art Exhibit. I H91 90 What's Whatw In this, its fourth year of publication, the What's What underwent many changes. The paper is now entirely in the hands of the staff, just like a regular newspaper. The staff, however, often called upon other students for contributions. The paper did not change in appearance, nor was any de- parture made from the plan of getting advertisements only for school act- ivities. The platform during the past year was to: 1. Improve scholarship. 2. Increase sportmanship and courtesy. 3. Boost school activities. 4. Promote genuine school spirit. The staff was somewhat hindered this year by the late start, and the re- vision of the method of publicationg but the members all got into the work, and soon things were running smoothly. Papers were exchanged with many other schools. This enabled the staff to see what other schools were doing with their publications, and at the same time afforded the other students an opportunity of reading about diiferent schools. The membership of the Michigan Intercholastic Press Associa- tion was renewed this year. ' The staif takes this opportunity of thanking the organizations which ad- vertised in the What's What, and the students for the support shown in pur- chasing the papers. MICHIGAN 01: INTERSCHOLASTIC 4:10 YOKNDI-9 I D I I PAYE 'EWS ASSOCIATION ' lu mu nz l91l School Spirit Cup The School Spirit Cup was given to the Luther L. Wright Senior High School by a. former principal, Mr. Leon C. High, to promote a better school spirit, to create a desire to do all and only those things which will further the developement of school spirit, and to procure a feeling of harmony of purpose in all things. This cup is awarded each year to the class which gives evidence of most nearly ful- filling the requirements which have been established by a committee of the teachers, in co-operation with the principal, the faculty as a whole., and the various organizations of the school. 'The cup was won in 1924-1925 by the class of 1925, and in 1925-1926 by the class of 1928. The basis for awarding the cup may be summarized under the following heads:- 1. Improvement in scholarship, to which the cornrnittee has given the greatest weight, a total of 3,200 possible points. II. Attendance, to which 1,600 points are accorded. III. Punctuality, rated equally with attendance, 1,600 points. IV. Participation in all school activities, also rated at 1,600 points and based on attendance at football and basketball games, plays, operettas, and parties, purchase of the What's What, and of the Hematite. V. General discipline. The students are expected to be loyal, courteous, considerate, and respectful in their relations with one another and with the school faculty. The merit and demerit system is utilized in rating the classes on this point, and the rating is 2,400 for merits a.nd de- merits combined, the former being given the greater considerattion. VI. Payment of class dues. The class which is first in having its dues paid is given a total of 600 points, the second, 500 points, aand fthe third, 400 points. The cominittee which will award the cup for the year 1926-1927 was elected by the Principal's Advisory Conunittee. Representatives of the different classes present their claims to the cup in the general assemblies, before the committee and the student body. The representatives this year are: S3, Arthur Pearseg S2, Billy Conley, and S1, Bobb Shove. l92l The Student Advisory Committee The Student Advisory Committee of the Luther L. Wright High School is a new experiment in student management of school activities. The oiiicers are Mary Junttila, presidentg Fanny Nelmark, vice-president, Russell Pakonen, secretary. By appointing committees to act on important problems, the Advisory Committee has accomplished a two-fold object. It offers the opportunity for more students to co-operate and participate in the management of school act- ivities and it secures the desired results. The first committee to be organized was the assembly committee which has charge of arranging programs for all the assemblies held on Thursday. The members are Rose Isaac, Francelle Turner, Mildred Holt, Sam Niemi, Mauno Heiskanen, and Russell Lutey. The faculty members are Miss Hiller, chairman, Miss Leino, and Miss Spaulding. The activity room committee was given the task of unpacking the fur- niture, presenting it to the student body, and drawing up rules for the act- ivity room. The members are Arthur Pearse, chairman, Florence Eddy, Lois Burrell, Stella Mackewitz, Billy Conley, and Owen O'Neill. At present the Advisory Committee is planning to organize a library patrol whose duty shall be to enforce certain rules of the library and to prevent the abuse of library privileges . The members of the committee organized to receive visiting teams are Richard Luoma, Sam Davey, and Whitney Dixon.

However the students enjoy- ed the matinee dances because of their informality and entertaining programs. The seniors held their first class party on January 14th in the gymnasium. Dancing furnished most of the entertainment and the beginners and old timers rubbed elbows after a short and clever program by the class mem- bers. The last event of the school year, which all the seniors look forward to, is the annual senior picnic at which the seniors always have the best time ever. January 28 the juniors gave a party in the gymnasium. The senior or- chestra played in exchange for the courtesy extended by the junior orchestra. Cards and a short program supplied the entertainment for part of the even- ing, and all joined in the grand march which led to the cafeteria. About a hundred members of the junior class enjoyed a skating party at the Colonial in January. On June 3 the Junior Prom was held in honor of the graduating class. On Washington's birthday the Girls' Friendship League gave a matinee dance in the gymnasium. The attendance was large, with the girls outnum- bering the boys. Red and white paper hats were distributed and, as a re- minder to the students of the occasion, Ina Newhouse in a colonial costume received the guests. Excellent music was furnished by the Snappy Synco- pators. The sophomore class had their party on February 26th in the gymnasium. The gym was gaily decorated with colored balloons. The Trip Around the World was the feature entertainment of the evening. In May the Girls' Friendship League gave a Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet in the cafeteria, which was beautifully decorated. A program was given after the banquet. The boys have had their parties too. Mr. Black's dinner for the football team is an annual event, and the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet under the direc- tion of the Hi-Y Club was a great success. The diilerent clubs and organizations have had their own parties in which their members joined enthusiastically, and spring has brought its an- nual epidemic of picnics.

YLVISAKER, Principal Junior High School Silhouetted above the hills of Ironwood are tall mine shafts, symbolic of our Jun- ior High School's part in education. In Junior High exploratory work is constantly going on to discover each pupi1's natural ability and resources. To many the study of such required subjects as history, geography, and English is just the training any citizen needs. To others, it proves to be an electro-magnet that attracts the deeply buried treasure ores of which their life-labor is to be made. However, there are children specially gifted in whom no rich vein of natural abilities is discovered in this general work. Further exploring demands a diamond drill process. Thus we have introduced into our Junior High-electives. If one elective fails to locate the talent-ore for a vocation, another is tried. When the rich life-vein is found, it is seldom in a pure state. There are other interests, bits of various precious minerals, which cannot be utilized in class work. These find an outlet in activities. As by-pro- ducts, or avocations, they can be followed at will, enriching leisure hours. Thus the Junior High student, having discovered the ore of his natural inclination, which must be brought! to the surface, selects subjects in the Senior High that tend to- ward the desired goal. There in the Senior High blast furnace the best grade of ore in the child's make-up becomes a crude cast iron. Before him. may lie four college years of refining and tempering, or life work in earnest. Whichever follows, the trueness of each character's steel depends largely on the grade of ore brought to light by the Junior High. Greater student talent may be revealed later. Ours is the glory of the first valiant venture towards the realization and discovery of Pupil-Power! 51081 CLASS OF 1930 f1U9fI CLASS OF 1931 51101 CLASS OF 1932 fllll Club Song Medleys O!

I know a big boy named Joe. He likes to go to the show. He also can sing, When with Mary Wing, 'Tm hoping hard I'm your beau. There was a short teacher called Tait Who sat in his Chevrolet late. One morn 'said the cop D'on't park in this block! Since then he's seen perched on her gate. There was a girl named Pauline Who gargled her throat with benzine, X The pain went away, But sorry to say The next day they called Dr. Green. There was a teacher named Ferron. She came in the room a tearin,' Sat down in her chair As cross as a bear, And shouted- Your minds are all barren. Hazel, her hair in a fuzz, At dinner time she wuz, Ready to eat, Potatoes and meat, It's remarkable how she duzz. Audrey of hair so red, Quite tired went to bed, But he came along, With a popular song, Be down in a minute, she s id. Limericks There once was a girl Margaret Weaver Who daily worked hard as a beaver, To beat bright Max Oie- Her Junior High boy- Till stopped by a case of brain fever. The principal named Mr. Blue. Has a heart very kind and true. But if you chance to come late, The morning after your heavy date After school he will say you are due. There was a teacher named Lager. He was a very good scholar. Whenever he'd holler He'd spoil his stiif collar Which set him back a whole dollar. There was a girl named Elizabeth May, Who played a tiddle on a nice spring day. She committed a crime - When she murdered the time, For even a song needs fair play they say School children, have you heard the story Of our faculty's hero, Cory? When on his love route Felt his sugar's dad's boot. Just notice his limp and feel sorry! There was a boy Tom Inch Who tho't school life a cinch. One day he'd no lesson, Was poor in his guessin.' Said Tom That's too close a pinch. n Shirley a sweater did win. She's full of vigor and vim. She has lots of pep, And a wonderful rep She is hefty in head and in limb. a I ' There's a girl, Arasim's Bernice On our ears you'd think she's a lease.
