E. 1 TREBILCOCK 935 1952 Our School Through the Years This year, 1955, marks the Diamond Anniversary of Calumet High School. For the past 75 years this school has been a vital part of the community, and we know it will go on as such. Seventy-five years ago Calumet High School became a four-year institution. The first class to graduate, in 1884, had seven students. In 1942 the 75th anniversary of the Calumet public school system was celebrated. At this time Mr. W. E. Trebilcock, superintendent of schools, prepared a historical sketch of the school system from its beginning in 1867 to that year, 1952. Following are excerpts from that pertaining to the High School. A geographically unique thing about the high school is that it is the school farthest north between Maine and Minnesota. It has always served as a community high school for the region extending from Osceola to Copper Harbor, a distance of some thirty-seven miles. H Such high school grades as there were before 1875 were held in the Jeff- ' ' erson School. As has already been stated the first class to graduate did so in 1884 when seven students re- ceived diplomas. There was at this time no separate building for the high school, the classes were housed in the Washington School. Congestion finally led in 1897 to the construction if the high school and the Manual Training School, both of which we re erected by the mining company. However both buildings were destroyed by fire in 1905 and so high school work was again handled in the Washington School until the present high school building was ready in the fall of 1907. The manual training and home eco- nomics departments were provided with modern quarters in the new high built in 1907. school building. Within a year of the opening of the new high school building, enrollment Present High School building, equalled the maximum seating capacity of the assembly room or study hall. So it was found necessary to establish additional study hall space on the third floor of the east wing to which Freshmen were assigned--'the nursery', as it was christened by the studehts. Also the wood shop was transferred from the first floor east to the bas em ent. Yet the space prob- lem was not solved, for the enrollment was swiftly increasing and so they turned to the Washington School for classrooms and study hall space. The destruction of the Washington School in January, 1929 necessitated that all high school work be carried on in the high. school building no matter how crowded it beca.me. The plans for the new Washington School allowed for a Freshman study hall seating 100 ,and six high school class rooms and in October, 1930 the new building was occupied. The only drawback to using two schools for high school work--x the necessity of crossing from building to building exposed to the ele- ments. No passage way has ever been provided. The high school grew, thus the number of those graduating increased. In 1910 the first mid-year class was graduated. Without exception, the June class has been larger than the mid-year class, or February class. The largest mid-year class, numbered seventy mem- bers while the largest June class numbered 156. The greatest number to graduate in any one year was 220,in 1939. It was decided that though there were two classes graduating, a February class and a June class, the commencement exercises would be held only at the end of the school year. In 1904 the following was adopted concerning honor recognition at graduation time: rule that in each graduating class the student having the highest general average of grades throughout his entire high school career should receive first honor and the second highest, second honorg and that all students having an average of 90 or better for their high school career should receive honorable mention. When there was a mid- year graduating class the student who had the highest average of all the graduates of both classes was the valedictorian. The student with the highest average in the other class than the valedictorian's was then called the salutatorian. At one time graduation exercises consisted of essays prepared and delivered by graduates. In time a speaker came to be engaged each year in lieu of these essays and some well known figures have appeared as commencement speakers from time to time. Commencement exercises have been held in the Calumet Methodist church, in the Calumet Theaterffrom 1900 to 1930 inclusive and also in 18941, and since 1931 in the gymnasiu.m of the Washington School. Of interest is the subject of dress for commencement. Regulations were not drawn up by the Board of Education concerning this but the matter was regulated by each class. The general aim was to dress simply, uniformly, and inexpensively. The matter of dress, of course, was one chiefly of concern to girls. Many girls bought the material for their dresses within the maximum price voted and made them up in their sewing classes. When it became desirable to purchase ready-made dresses, each class voted the maxi.mu.m sum which it was allowable to pay. In recent years both boys and girls have turned to the cap and gown as a solution of the problem of what to wear for graduation. The original high school course of study offered the following subjects: Natural Phi- losophy, Bookkeeping, Algebra, Rhetoric, Universal History, Physiology and Zoology, Geology and Chemistry, Botony, Geometry, Latin, French, and German. It is probable, however, that the actual offerings, in contrast to the announced offerings, were by no means so ambitious. For exannple, it is extremely unlikely that three languages were really taught at one time when the high school consisted of two teachers and two score of students. When the school became a four-year institution, in 1880, subjects were com- bined into courses--three college preparatory and three practical , The student could choose the course he wished but the subjects in each course were prescribed for him. There were certain core subjects, or subjects considered to be desirable of all students irrespective of sex or course, which had to be passed in order to be eligible for graduation. These were four years of English, three semesters of Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Physics, AncientHistory, Modern History fin all but one coursej, and American History including Civics. It is worth of note that American History as a Senior year re- quired subject for graduation is known to date back to some time previous to 1909. , Pre- cedent hardened into tradition has continued to the present the idea of courses--and six courses at that--with the idea of core subjects required in all courses, but required sub- jects have been reduced in number and students have been accorded greater freedom in the matter of electing subjects. Of special note is the fact that both French and German were taught down to World War 1, the larger enrollment being in the German classes. When the United States entered that war, German was dropped and Spanish offered in its place. But Spanish wasn't the attraction that German had been and was dropped after three years. German was never again offered. Old High School Machine Shop, 19045 Instructors--Mr. Stevens QL, and Mr. William Odge rs QRJ. High School Blacksmith Shop, Mr. John Wilson, instructor. Sewing Room around 1915, in present high school building. Manual training received early recognition as a school subject , mention of it going back as far as 1889. Men were employed to teach who had proved their worth as practi- cal tradesmen. It has always been cardinal policy to have the shop work of an intensely practical nature. The Manual Training department it seems was tied up with the Company. Mr. William Heath, C. 8: H, carpenter at the time of his appointment in 1897, was the first teacher. For years some of the manual training teachers we re paid by the Company and were not on the school pay roll at all. In- structors worked the saxne hours as did their fellows at the mine and had holidays only as mine employees had them. The school purchased supplies freely for the shops from the Com- pany and was paid for any work done for the Company. In 1915 manual training teachers saw it to be their interest to become school employees. This change was effected and has continued ever since. Tradesmen were issued a county certificate to teach. renewable from time to time. In 1918 the shops went under-the Smith- Hughes law. With the decline in the industrial importance of the black-' smith's trade, work in the blacksmith shop was discontinued and for some years the shop was closed. Then it reopened as an auto mechanics shop. Home economics too has been a part of this school from its beginning, first menticn of it being as far back as 1897. It is known that classes in sewing antedated those in cooking and cooking was begun in 1902. Of the two, sewing has been the more popular. Because of the practical purpose courses in sewing were designed for, some of the instructors engaged were skilled wanen who had learned the seamstress trade and had practiced it for a livelihood. Without college training, as were the shop teachers, they were certified in the same way. In recent years the home economics rooms have been entirely renovated, making more pleasant and modern surroundings for those taking sewing and cooking.

Some type of work in calisthenics apparently was being conducted as far back as 1897. for in that year the board purchased four and a half dozen of dumbbells. By 1899 physical training had a recognized place in the work of the schools 'although it was an after-school activity. In 1912 it was made compulsory a.nd credit was given for it. In the early days gym was offered mostly for the benefit of the girls: the emphasis has now changed and the boys dominate the scene with football, basketball, and track. In the fall of 1917 sixty high school boys petitioned the Board of Education to establish military training. The request was granted and on October 17 of the same year military training was begun with an enrollment of 72. The armory was engaged as a drilling place. Mr. John MacNaughton was engaged as military instructor and Mr. Carlos Hanks as his assistant. Uniforms were purchased and boys taking military training got one credit for four years of it. Application was made to the, War Department for the creation of a Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps in Calumet High School. Following an inspection by an Anny officer, in April 1918 such an R.O. T.C. unit was officially proclaimed. The officer in charge is called Professor of Military Scienceiand Tactics CP. M.S. kT., in government regulation and is paid by the government. The government furnishes uniforms and equip- mentg the school supplies the textbooks. Old library rooms around 1915. Children in lib rary for Saturday afternoon story-hour, about 1915 The school library seems to be almost if not quite as old as the school itself. Mention of it is made as far back as 18713 'it was first situated in the Washington School. In 1894 the Board of Education voted to recommend to the annual meeting of that year the establish- ment of a district library, having in mind a library whose facilities. should be open to the public. Appropriations were made for such a library--the Calumet Public Library . 'Mrg James James was the first Librarian. On May 9, 1898 the Board of Education, voted 'to accept the proposition to unite the District Library with the Calumet and Hecla Company's Library. The school, and especially the high school, has profited greatly from the con- solidation arrangement. Teachers have found the uncommonly well-stocked and ably man- aged library of incalculable value and the community has benefitted greatly from the pooling of library resources. The cultural influenceof the library in the Calumet area has been tremendous. In May 1944' the library facilities were moved to the Calumet High School. It is still the Calumet Public Library but is now under the School and Township Boards. Probably the decision to hire the supervisor of manual training on a twelve month basis was the seed of summer school, for the first summer work offered was an eight week ses- sion in the manual training department. This was around 19003 in 1910 sewing was also offered. Then grade school subjectsg the tutoring of deficient pupils. From this it was a short step to the practice of offering any subject a sufficient number of students applied for which should be open not alone to those who had failed them in regular session but to students taking them for the first time. Ln 1912 academic subjects were offered for the first time, 98 pupils enrolling and 88 of them completing the ses sion. ,The subjects offered were--Algeb ra 1,Z, and 35 Geometry 1 and Zg Solid Geometryg Germa.n3g English 43 Caesar lg Cicero 15 Modern History 1. This was a formidable array. The session lasted six weeks and the maximum number of subjects one could take was two. Su1nmer school 'came to be a big business. Enrollment in academic subjects often exceeded 200 and twice exceeded 300. Only once after 1920 did the high school summer enrollrnent fall below 300 and it reached 405 in the last year 11931, in which summer school was conducted. Regular credits towards graduation were given to those taking summer courses. It is for us the living. . . to be dedicated here to the unfinished work. . .

It was said to be one of the largest public schoolhouses in the U.S. if not the largest, furnished throughout with single desks and all needful appliances and heated by steam.

Commercial Academic Class History A hand reaches up toward the bookcase, moves slowly along a shelf of dusty booksg pauses a moment -'53-'54-ah, '55. The owner picks out the book marked '55, blows some of the dust away, opens the cover and reads: It was very wet the day we entered high school as Froshg and, though the boys were soaked to the skin, the girls weren't even damp. We sat in our seats and awefully gazed at the Seniors and won- dered how any people so wonderful and terrifying could live. As our leaders for the year we chose Barb Thurner, Gary Crocker, Judy Vairo and Arlene Manninen. John Nadeau gained fame as second place winner in the Tri-County Radio Script Contest. Shirley Kivela made the poetry corner of the Cal-Hi-News with her outstanding poem-- If I Were Marooned Like Old Ben Gunn. Joyce Tamminen and Judy Vairo won honors in the Forensic Festival. Several of the girls who we re invited to join the Eulalia looked like left-overs from hobo week with their hair set, clothes on backwards and rouge on their faces as a part of their initiation. The coaches had gleams in their eyes when they looked at the promising sport material our class held. And so we left the land of x:2y and the Roman Empire whose gre ate st triumph was the conquering of the Latin languageg and journeyed on to the realm of the buggy bug chasers and got into that famous debate Were Caesar's methods justified by his ends? We also discovered the answer to Miss Baldwin's eternal question, lf you were stranded on a desert island what beauties--oops! I mean books would you wish you had with you? Our class, already fa.mous for its pep, became even more peppy when Shirley Musich, Shirley Kivela, Pat Hoganson, and Marsha Isola were elected cheerleaders. Joyce Tammienen, Peggy Knodel and Judy Vairo talked their way into the Regional Forensics Contest, with Judy going on to the district contest in Marquette. Ronald Berry-man won a starting position on the football squad with Roger Arola and Paul Bracco also making the varsity. Russ Jutila saw considerable action on the basketball team, while Arola, Gipp, and Gary Crocker led the reserve team through a fine season. Class officers were Sarah Lehto, Gary Crocker, Judy Vairo, and Carol Lepisto. We drifted on to American History and found we simply couldn't agree with Muzzy. We found ourselves some able leaders in Russ Jutila, Ruth Aalto, Joyce Tamminen, Matt Kaifesh, and Barb Langdon.' Shirley Kivela was chosen Homecoming Queen with another Junior, Barb Thurner, chosen as her attendant. Four of our exuberant classmates, Pat Hoganson, Shirley Musich, Sarah Lehto, and Shirley Kivela made thecheerleading squad. Ratings of excellent were won in the Forensic con- test by Virginia Plante, Sharon Guy, Joyce Tamminen and Bob Cornwall. Our class was represented in the band by fifteen of our mates and Mary Joy Sciace ro, 'drum majorette, set the pace for that organization. Dashing Bob Forsberg, drum major, led the Drum and Bugle Corps. John Staricha won the .ZZ rifle for best marksmanship in the R. O. T. C. The Juniors' prize achievement, the prom, was a grand success. 'Stairway to the Stars featured the Top-Hatters. Joan Harjala made a lovely queen. Our athletes were outstanding. Gary, Roger, and Russ were three sports men. Paul Bracco and Berryman started at the tackle positions. Matt Kaifesh and John Haataja were at guard and center positions respectively. The track scene looked bright with Mike Kaifesh, Jack Barry, and Haataja returning as distance men. Others exceptionally good we re, Russ Jutila, Gary Crocker, and Matt Kaifesh. They seem to get smaller every year. -The usual statement of a Senior when looking down on the Frosh. That's right, Seniors at last! Our last year--how long we had looked forward to it, and how the time has gone so fast that we scarcely had time to enjoy it! This was the year the Cool Kats canne into their own. John Nadeau was no longer with us as he had received a special scholarship, not requiring high school graduation. The class officers were Gary Crocker, Robert Forsbe rg, Ellen Priuska, Sarah Lehto, and James Fisher. Gary was President of the Student Council. Other organi- zations were headed by our able Seniorsg Sarah Lehto was President of the Eulalia and Captain of the cheerleading squad. Ruth Aalto was Secretary of the Teen Center. Joyce Tamminen was editor of the Peace Pipe. Barb Langdon was President of the Dramatics Club. Judy Vairo was editor of the Cal-Hi-News and Treasurer of the Teen Center. Janet Pelto headed the Future Teachers Clubg and Virginia Plante was President of the Future Nurses Club. Sarah Lehto was chosen Homecoming Queen, and reigned over the Booster Game. Sandy Koopikka was her attendant. Carol Hoganson took second place in the Why I'm Proud to be an American essay contest, for a prize of S75. The Senior play, Time Out for Ginger provided hilarity, with an all star cast of Bob Forsbe rg, Barb Langdon, Shirley Musich, Ronny Mixon, Jack Barry, Judy Vairo, Russ Jutila, Joyce Tamminen, Gary Crocker, and Bernice, Flash, Landini. Bob Forsberg was selected Lieutenant Colonel of the R. O. T, C. Cheers resounded through the chill night air for Matt and Mike Ka.i.fesh, Jack Barry, and Ray Garrow. Football season was here again, and Rog Arola, Russ Jutila, Ron Berryman, Ron'Arntsen, and Paul Bracco did their parts as stalwart sons of the gridiron. John Haataja was captain of the tearn. Gary Crocker gained fame as the football player with the nicest smile. Though the basketball team got off to a poor start, captain Gary Crocker along with Russ Jutila, helped spark the team on to victory later in the season. This is the History of the Class of 1955. He sits silent for a moment reminiscing. With a gentle sigh, he closes the book, puts it in its place on the shelf, and slowly walks away thinking--we were determined to make our mark in life and live up to our motto NOT AT THE TOP, BUT CLIMBING Class Will of l955 We, the members of the class of 1955, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, about to pass out of existence, hereby declare, publish and expose this to be our Last Will and Testa- ment, as witnessed by these witnesses: To the entire school we leave the example we have set as worthy scholars and blameless students. Our record has been spotless and in all annals of our career we have done no deed, as a class, of which we need be ashamed. To the teachers of Calumet High School we convey our ability to know a good thing when we see it. As this ability has been largely created by your instructions, we are merely returning to you your invaluable gift. To the Juniors we will all our laughs and giggles, tardy and absent marks, unsolved puzzles, unchewed gum, apple cores and cold lunches, also all the broken jack knives, unsharpened lead pencils, half-filled note books and all other unclaimed property of no value. Bob Forsberg, Bill Sincock, John Staricha, Ron Mixon, Dwaine Mills and Peter Niska leave the Rifle Team their ability and good marksmanship. Ann Thielman wills her sneeze to some quiet assembly. Sarah Lehto and Shirley Kivela leave their cheerleading sweaters to whoever can fill their places. Joanne Shimandle wills her red locks to Joanne Juopperi. Faith Cook bestows her quiet but pleasant personality to Barbara Hosking, Pat LaF leur leaves her ability to chew gum and eat candy in the assembly Qand get away with it, to any undernourished Junior who is always starved between classes. Russ Jutila and Judy Vairo will their fancy dance steps to Dave Mitchell and Barbara Burda. Barbs Thurner, Margaret Madronich, Carol Mattson, Marie Raisanen, Helen Niemela and Valrie Raisanen will one free lessoncon How to Get a Manll? Dave Hillstrom leaves some of his height to Mr. Lindeman's future basketball team. To Lois Aho we present a worm. She already has the book so that now the royal title of book- worm is hers. Long may she wear it as honorably as its present owner--Gale Jamsen. Mary Joy Sciacero bestows her baton! to anyone who can fill her boots. James Fisher and Karl Gipp will their wavy hair to Clifford Hill and Art Dion. Judy Vairo bestows a dictionary from which she is alleged to obtainaher stock of huge words to someone who thinks he or she could compete with her. Kathy Luoma, Shirley Musich, Carol Bedord ,and Pat Hoganson leave their ability to have fun to the Junior Clique. Shirley Nuottila leaves her skating abilities to anyone who would like to try the blades. Rodger Arola, Russ Jutila and Gary Crocker leave their athletic abilities to Jay Rowe, Clark Pellegrini, and Richard Salonen. Barbara Langdon bestows her ability to act and sing. which she proved by singing, Mocking Bird Hill. on stage. This she leaves to Rose Nousiainen. Donna Ulstad and Florence Aho will their. basketball skill to Mr. Kittils reserves. Beth Richards and Bob Messner leave to all the Juniors who are going to take chemistry all their trials, errors and near explosions. , Jerry Hansen leaves his antics in Mrs. Holman's Lit class behind and she hopes no one finds them. The Senior members of the Cal Hi Band will their uniforms to any newcomers who can make the music. Bob Forsberg leaves the Drum Ma,ior's job and Battalion Cornmander's position to any fortunate for unfortunate, Junior. .He will keep his motorcycle. Ronnie QHairyQ Suhonen leaves some of his hair to Mr. Mishica and Mr. Held. The Senior Class also leaves the Football and Basketball team-s to the Juniors in hbpe they can do something with them. Class Prophecy Dear Cousin, Here it is, 1965 already! I can hardly believe that the class of 55 is ten years older. I'm anxious to tell you what has become of the graduates. Our former class President, Gary Crocker, couldn't get the idea of being president out of his mind, as a result he worked his way to President of C 8: H. Rodger Arola and Ray Garrow have recently accepted positions as basketball coaches at Harvard. Russ Jutila has been accepted as teacher of modern dancing, while Judy Vairo is teaching ballet. John Haataja and brother Bruce have put their brains together and have established a school of aeronautics.

The Kaifesh cousins, Matt and Mike, have accepted their long awaited positions as coaches of football at Yale. David Hillstrom set a new record in high jump at the last Olympics. I heard that former classmates, Bob Forsberg, John Staricha, William Sincock, Bob Messne r, and Jack Centanino, who are now all office rs of the U. S. Army, had an overseas reunion at Naples. Paul Bracco, Robert Richards, and James Fisher were delayed in Paris, thus did not attend the reunion. News from Ruth Aalto, now Mrs. J. Jukuri, that Margaret Madronich, Carole Hoganson, Joan Harjala., and Vera La.mpinen have each had a set of twins. Barb Thurner has been gifted with two sets of triplets.

What with most of us struggling through American History and its chronological order, and many of us taking Solid Geometry, wondering why we did. After breathing a sigh of relief at the end of the first semester, we found ourselves entangled in 3rd year Algebra. But as always, we managed to pull through with a smile. This was done with the help of the Hot Shots , a group of jazzy minded band members. Their band is real gone, and the gonest member being the drummer, whose drums are constantly slip- ping away from him. Of course, they won talent shows left and right, enjoying themselves to the utmost. We Juniors are not lacking any Marlon Brandos' or Audrey Hepburns', as was seen in the per- formance of Dear Ruth . We still have memories of Cliff tearing out his hair because he was positive he didn't know his part! Our class was well represented in the Ice Revue by soloist, Art Dion, and Florimel Waara and Terry Kaiser. Our class makes up one half of Tony's Tooters . We sure are a bunch of windbags! We also possess four acrobatic cheerleaders. Namely, Shari Bruneau, Kay St. Germain, Marilyn Ervast, and Ardes fBeeguj Koskela. Marilyn Freeman won first place in the T B Essay Contest. Norma Kangas was the history scholar, winning fourth place in the History Essay Contest. Virginia Jurmo suffered a broken wrist and Fred Bardo broke his collar bone. Jim Keranen and Jixn Koski were lucky deer hunters. Joe Chopp spent a whole week tramping the wild and got nothing but sore feet and long hair., Rose Nousiainen flapped her wings and journeyed to Florida to soak up some sunshine. Heard in the middle of a band concert rehearsal ------ Stop the Musicl ! I Mr. Peshek was only -inquiring about Mary Lou Moyle's progress in the cherry pie baking contest. Of coursewe all know, she won second prize. U 'I'he Juniors contributed quite a bit of talent to sports., The following Juniors made the Varsity Football Team. Jim Koski, Rodney Winquist, Joe Chopp, Rod MacLeod, George Isola, Jack LaBonte, Johnny Bennetts, Norma.n Koski, Uno Tanskanen, Jim Beiswanger, Earl Kangas, Gerald Liikala, Victor Surttinen. The first six won their letters. , Big George Isola played aggressive ball for the Copper Kings, holding his position on defense and by making a way for his scatty halfbacks and fellow fullback- MacLeod. La.Bonte showed himself as a crisp tackler and blocker. In basketball, Clark Pellegrini helped lead the team through a winning streak near the end of the season when he rejoined the team. The Varsity tea.m also carried two other Juniors--Johnny Bennetts and Gary Wickstrom, The following trackmen are returningg Joe Chopp-high and broad jumper, Rodney Winquist- hurdler, Jirn Koski-dashman, Pete Dube., Fred Bardo, and Johnny Bennetts-distance. We are looking forward to being Sophisticated Seniors next year! 4 15 'C , ,gi S Hi 'mn :QQ C iv, ai . ' , if H ig, A X if f Q K ' B Q 'K ml Q .. ,Q A'i...,a' 5 f -1 13 f 7 ,bl 5 5 1, ,V .

Sir Anthony Locatelli for President The Most HonorableDaniel Rosemergy for Vice-President Duke William Rosemergy for Secretary-Treasurer Madame Carole Kezele for Student Council Delegate Class'Advisor: Mr. Joseph Phelan, Esquire The talent in our class is really the most! Joyce Isola earned herself a winning position in the Tuberculosis Essay contest. When you hear the sound of band music let your eyes wander to the front of the procession. There you will see the fancy stepping Audrey Erickson. We think she?s really got what it takes to be the best. Our class is represented quite well in the Band. Some of those wind-blowers are: Tony Locatelli, Yvonne Lydick, Bill and Danny Rosemergy, Judy Wickstrom, and Betty Willmers. Flashing blades on the Armory ice brings out the grace and poised skills of Barbara Burda and Carol Paulson. Janet Azzi and Pat Rouse are still wearing cheerleading sweaters, doing their best to pep up the students. Danny Rosemergy is doing his share to promote school spirit too. Danny directs the pep band at all home games and pep assemblies. The Yes Sir, No Sir Organization has in its midst, two outstanding Sophomores. Jay Rowe and Danny Rosemergy hold the titles of Sergeant First Classy the highest they can go this year. By their Senior year they will no doubt be Colonels or Majors. Our class made neat profits on a bake sale and the sponorship of the movie Her Twelve Men. Another undertaking of our class was the sponsorship of a dance: naturally it was enjoyed by all. But then, don't we always put over something worth-while! Janet Azzi and May Ann Boggio are pretty hot female bowlers. Look out fellows, don't be standing on the alley when they're behind dem dere bowling balls. Make plenty of room when Pat Rouse and David Mitchell start doing those snappy Jitterbugs up at the Teen Center. I can assure you, you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of their flying feet! h Classmates, what did you think of Carol Paulson's bright red crowning glory? Pretty blinding except that she is missing the freckles. What happened? Everybody run when Jeanne Hoganson shows up. She just loves a practical joke, especially when it is pulled on somebody else. Of course Jeanne is doing the pulling! Betty and Bobby are still within reach of Cupid's arrow. Do you think the spell will ever end? They say No! The boys of our class showed marvelous talent when it came to sports. Football claimed many Sophs: Arntsen, Rowe, Marvin Niemi, Salonen, Bessonen, and B. Rosemergy. Rosemergy was the only letter winner. Our class also had a tricky quartet on the basketball court. It included-- big Jay Rowe, center: calm Richard Salonen, forward: scrappy Eugene Arntsen, forwardg and the whiz kid Kenny Pelto, guard. The B tea.m has good varsity material in Bill Rosemergy, Earl Jussila, and Tom Westlake. Other Sophs. who are likely prospects are, Tony Locatelli, Fred Jameson, and Martin Niemi. Sophomores will pave the way for a winning season in track for Calumet High. Here again, in track, we have classmates that have been mentioned before, Rowe, Arntsen, Salonen, Bessonen, Niemi, Rosemergy, Pelto, and Jussila. Of course, we know they are going to help make C.H.S. tops when it comes to sports. You rahl rah! rahl -S-0-P-H-S- rah! rahl ' ' QM Mn Biff E U i A fl e X !

Freshman Frolics On September 8, 1954, Calumet High ushered in another group of bewildered Freshmen. At least to the upperclassmen we appeared bewildered. Really though, we have proven ourselves quite capable of overcoming the many obstacles con- fronting Freshmen . To start the ball rolling, we elected the following officers: The carrot-top from Kearsarge--Fred Bieti for President The little cub from Bear Lake Road--Marlene Barri for Vice-President The blue eyed, dimpled doll from Mohawk--Shirley Muljo for Secretary-Treasurer The petite, pretty little Miss from Albion --Maryellen Paulson for Student Council Delegate. Janet Malner high stepped her way to the honorable position of Majorette . She can be seen at all home football games, floating across the field with the grace of a flamingo. Also at con- certs, doing a wonderful job of Spinning the Silver. Have you heard our Teresa Brewer? Of course, she is none other than talented Sydna Rautiol Our musical talent also extends to the band. Among Tony's Ambitious Tooters are Leslie Fisher, Bobby Johnson, Gretchen Kolb, Martin Madajewski, Bobby Nadeau, Maryellen Paulson, Charlie Schwenn, and Billy Zei. Carol Fraki and Mary Lou Torreano did some mighty fancy Jitte rbug at the Teen Center. By the way, our class is pretty well represented at the Teen Center on Friday and Saturday nights. Carol has also kept us guessing with her ever-changing beaux. Lola Levanen was a crazy mixed up kid when she walked into a class one period ahead of tim e. But nobody minded, the Juniors like good looking girls. Sandra Eilola and Phyllis Koory are really nature girls Especially when it comes in a bottle. The result ------ two platinum blondes. Our class is not lacking when it comes to romance, either. A couple of real gone couples are, Joan Turner and Bruce Bedord, and Yvonne Wuolukka and Clarence Fisher. Real cute, don't you think? The Freshmen are Upperclassmen in the field of sports. In the rugged game ot football, Carlow Bessalo and Wayne Sickler contributed their talent to the varsity tea.m. Bessalo estab- lished himself as a dazzling halfback and Sickler as an aggressive end. Sickler won a varsity letter for his efforts. Gerry Vairo also shows promise as a quarterback. Basketball also called a good many Freshmen, Vairo and Bessalo making their bow as first line men on the B team. Vairo will help the Kings in the future with his aggressiveness and sound, playing. Others who show promise for the future years are Frantti, Harrison, Taube, and Sickler. As you can see, we Freshmen have in sports, our claim to fame. I'm sure we have convinced you that we are no longer Bewilde red Freshmen. -a 8 v, I acthfiiiies Agp, ,- ?W Q 1-Q. Q E Q54 5 wx X-QI.-'el f, xx q E5 Z: - Z f'J'-f F X SX 111+ A, if x F N xx.

Choral Groups The Girls' Glee Club and Freshman-Sophomore chorus sangrat the Christmas Concert which was a Joint band and choral concert. They are working on music for the spring festival and must prepare the music for the Baccalaureate service which comes in June. Whatever the music of the future in our country is, lies largely in your hands. lAnon.j Girls' Glee Club Freshman- Sophomore Mixed Chorus USIC IS A HOUS NOT BUI WITH HANDS. The History of the Cal-Hi-Band The birth of the Calumet High Band came about in the fall of 1947, under the direction of Mr. Anton C. Peshek. The original group consisted of only a dozen members. Their first rehearsals were held in the projection room, and about three weeks later they moved into the present Band Hall. By the ti.me of their first concert, presented in April of 1948, the group grew to thirty members. At the spring concert in 1949, the members made their first appearance in new uniforms of blue with gold trimming. Money for these uniforms was raised by this concert and a style show. This sa.me spring, the band made their first appearance at thelTri-County Band Festival in Houghton, In 1951, the band was the first in the Copper Country to perform in the dark at football games by having small lights attached to each member. This gave a very beautiful and unusual effect. This year's Marching Band, The Stepping Sixty , has presented many half- time performances at the football games, which emphasized fine music and mili- tary precision at its best. The Concert Band, consisting of sixty-seven members, is organized on a military basis and is operated under student leadership. A group selected from this band plays at pep meetings and basketball games. A system of rating has been added this year, these ratings are determined at the discretion of the director. A band council, consisting of the officers of the band, and four members having the highest ratings, assist the director in formulating band policies, -and other items of importance. The annual Arion Award which this year was won by Janet Pelto, is presented by the Rotary Club. Among the eight qualifications are: scholastic standing, musicianship and others. This year has also proved to be very busy, but successful. The band has per- formed at the following functions: Firemen's Convention in Bess emerg Firemen's Exposition and Paradeg four football games: Open House Concert in Novemberg eight basketball gamesg Christmas Concertg Girl Scout Ice Revues in February, Mid Winter Concert fSpanish-American Concertl in Februaryg Hancock Exchange Con- cert, Spring Concert in Mayg Tri-County Band Festival in Calumetp R. O. T. C. Inspectiong Armed Forces and Memorial Day Paradesg Baccalaureate and Com- mencement. Through the efforts of the Band Parents Club, which was organized in May, 1954, the band has acquired risers as well as overcoats for each member. The object of this club is to give the band financial and moral support. - i lf! gif if rfsrw-if HQ' 1 9 t . S S H CW 'Mn Calumet H'gh Row 4--A. Ericksong Mr. Peshek3Mf1 st F. Waarag BXM D.

William Seawright. The plot centers around the literal activities of Ruth's younger and patriotic sister Miriam, Sweet Sixteen , whose romantic correspondence with soldiers and sailors is signed Ruth . Ruth is engaged to Albert Kummer but when Lieutenant Seawright flies from Italy just to be with her for two days she decides to carry thru to make him happy for that brief time. Albert tries to be co-operative but objects violently at times--especially to being pushed off the rapid transit. Ruth has trouble indeed trying to keep Albert, her fiance, calm and at the same time play the engaged girl role temporarily with the Lieutenant: Her duo-role entwines the whole family in a humorous muddle. But in the end, in a whirl-wind decision, Ruth knows what she wants--the Lieutenant. Dear Ruih is a delightful three act comedy by Norman Krasna. The cast included: Ruth Wilkins . . . . . . .

But-- whether we win or whether we lose, we're with you tearn, we're with youl This year brought in a new coach, Mr. Lindeman, for football and basketballg Mr. Kitti still holds sway over the track team. FOOTBALL: Calumet started the football season off right with a 14-7 win over the Lakes. This game was a battle from start to finish and could have been anybody's game. Both teanis were out for blood, and blood they got. Several players were extracted from the game due to injuries falso penaltiesj. Calu.met's two touchdowns were made by Mike and Matt Kaifesh. Calumet then played host to Iron River Qrated No. 1 team in U. PJ. The Copper Kings were given a 24-0 beating. In this game Copper Country fans saw a football player they will long remember--Eddie Vigerra, a little 130-pound Filipino. Not only did Calumet lose this game, but something else was lost--Crocker's three front teeth. Calumet' suffered its second defeat of the season when they played Bessemer on a fog-covered fieldg the score was 19-6. Calu.met's one touchdown was on a pass from Arola to Mike Kaifesh. Calumet then tried a new foe. Hoping for a win, they traveled to play Escanaba Central and were trounced by a score of 33-0. When the Kings went into the Hancock game, the fans expected Hancock to give Calu.met a drubbing, Hancock being favored to win by two touchdowns. Calumet plugged so hard in this game that they proved to everyone that we had a better team than it seemed. Although Calu.met did not win, it was considered as a moral victory for the Kings. Rod MacLeod, Junior fullback, went on a scoring spree to score three touchdowns and Garrow hit his former teammates so hard on two different plays that Ricci fof Han- cockl said to his teammates, Can't you get that Garrow out of the way? He's killing me. The final score of that game was Hancock, 265 Calumet, 25. In this game the yards gained by rushing were: Calumet-123, Hancock-282--yards gained by passing: Calumet-93, Hancock-40. Calumet lost its Booster game to Negaunee by a score of 13-6. Barry scored on a 60-yard run around right end. The captain of the Copper Kings foot- ball tea.m of 54-55 was John Haataja. BASKETBALL: The Calumet Copper Kings basketball team did not have a very good season as far as the record shows, but it accomplished something else. This was giving the Sophomores such as Rowe, Arntsen, Salonen, and Pelto, and the Juniors, Pellegrini, Bennetts, and Wickstrom more experience on the basketball court. Thus in the next few years our teamfshould really pick up, as graduation won't leave us with a com- pletely green team but a good string of veterans. Calumet lost its first game to Houghton by a score of 61- 29. Jutila and Arola were high for Calumet with 6 points each. Mentink was high for the Gremlins with 14. Hurley of Houghton was held to his lowest for the season-12 points. Calumet Ontonagon drubbed Calumet 72 to 40 at Ontonagon. W'hite was high for the Bears with 25: Arola paced Calumet with IZ. Calumet's third loss was to Baraga in a thriller, with Baraga winning in the final seconds of the game. The final score was Baraga 63, Calumet 60. Jonderau led both teams in scoring honors with 32 points. Rowe had 22 for Calumet, Jutila 14 with 10 of them coming from jump shots from the corner. Sacred Heart Rockets made history by defeating the Kings in their fourth game of the season. The score was 55-44. At halftime Calumet led 27 to 25. Oinas netted 22 points for a winning cause. Rowe and Arola had 11 and 10 points respectively for Calumet, The Kings fifth defeat in five starts ca.me from Dollar Bay, the game being played at Dollar Bayg score 45-51. Rowe was high for Calumet with 16 points. The Copper Kings then traveled to Ishpeming only to be defeated again by a score of 68-40. Rowe was high point man of the garne with 20. Bjorne of Ishpeming followed closely with 19. The seventh loss for the Kings canne from Lake Linden. In this ganfie however Calumet was not drubbed as before. They lost by 5 points which the Whiz Kids managed to get in the last few minutes of the game on foulsg the final score being 56-61. Rowe had 19 for the Kings.- Calumet lost another 5 point game to the Bulldogs from Hancock, 47-42. The rally the Kings whipped up fell short as time ran out causing the eighth loss in the same number of ga.mes. After the Christmas layoff Calumet ca.me back against Ontonagon with their spirits high. They were out to win. Besides they had several new players, Pellegrini, Crocker, and Ken Pelto, Calumet did not beat Ontonagon but came mighty close. Ontonagop was expected to run away with the Kings but barely eked out their 45-41 win. Pellegrini was high for the Kings with 15. Rosemergy had 22 for the Polar Bears. Jeffers defeated the Copper Kings by a score of 65 to 49. The Jets were led by scoring ace Roger Rynnanen. Crocker was high for Calumet with 18 counters. The Houghton Gremlins beat Callurxet by a score of 94-65. Crocker led both teams with Z5 points--Hurley pocketed 23 'for Houghton. Calumet's Copper Kings finally broke into the winning column by defeating the L'Anse Hornets, 61-49. This victory marked the dis- carding of the title of being the only class B team in the U. P. without a win. Jutila broke the game wide' open in the final quarter by jamming 4 buckets through the meshes to put the Kings in a sizeable lead to win the game. Crocker, G. Arntsen, and Jutila had 114, 13, and 12 points respectively for the Kings. Ca1u.met won its next game against Sacred Heart gaining revenge for the defeat the Rockets gave them earlier in the season. The Rockets took an early lead but the Kings came back to conquer them in the second half. The final score read 52-43. Rebounds were a big factor in the game with Crocker and G. Arntsen each getting 11 and Jutila 10 and Rowe 9. The Kings racked up their third straight win by defeating Hancock 51-48 in a hotly contested game. Crocker was high for Calumet with 21 points. N Calumet then traveled to Lake Linden for another conference clash with the Whiz Kids. Lake Linden ca.me out on the top of a 55-52 score. Crocker was high for Calumet with 24 points. Calumetls last game of the season was played on our own court against the Dollar Bay Blue Bolts. The Kings were the victors, beating Dollar Bay by a score of 65-45. The last quarter saw five Seniors starting and they contributed much, espe- cially by way of points, to this their last game. The Captain of the 1954-55 basketball season was Gary Crock- er. Five good players will be lost through graduation this year- -Gary Crocker, Russ Jutila, Rodger Arola, Ron Arntsen, and Ray Garrow. TRACK: This sport we cannot say much about because by the time this book goes to press the track season will not be started yet. About all that can be said is how the team is expected to turn out and its participants. Mr. Kitti, track. coach, has high hopes for the best track team he has ever had. We hopeso too. The strongest point of the Kings track team is in the dashes with Matt Kaifesh and Garrow. Hurdles have Jutila, Winquist, G. Arntsen, and Crocker. In the distance running there is Mike Kaifesh,, Barry, Dube, R. Arntsen, Pelto, Bardo, Bennetts, 'and the Niemi brothers. The relay teams are expected to be strong also. In the field events Calumd: should show up better than they have in the past few years. Ray Garrow, a fo:rmer Bulldog, is expected to break Mr. Kitti's pole vault record of 11 feet. He also ranks high in shot put. Joe Chopp and Russ Jutila are the main high jumpers. Broad jump will have Matt Kaifesh leading the pack. Thatls about all that can be said about track now, except that we wish them luck! J ,-., M Q 2 , my ...mf T' K .....,,. W Q Q?

Father Jordan Telles 4' The Choral Amen ------------------ High School Choir In Memoriam Mis Rogers was born an! reared in Saginaw County, Michigan where she received n district school education and for some time taught in the grade ,schools at Petosky. In 1885 she entered Michigan State Normal College at Ypsilanti and in 1886, she came to Calumet ll ateacher, being employed first in the grades and later in departmental work before taking a high school assignment as teacher of English and rhetoric. For many years prior to her retirement in 1936 she wal Dean of Girls and Assistant Principal in the high school. Literally thousands of graduates will recall the high quality of her instruction as reflected, in part, in her excellent interpretation of the classics. She is remembered by many for her community service and her active work as a member of the First Baptist Church of Calumet. It is noteworthy thatlinl Roggrs tnugbtin the Calumet Publicbschools for more years than any other teacher to date, having taught in this system for fifty years. Her total teaching service was fifty-two years. 253W Yjf, i ,252 ' if 5 gy. xw-W-, J ,'x.253'FiS if w Q Www A ff www?-fwmmwf Q 'fy ff 2 S? if An exterior View of the C 81 H Library surrounded by its post and pipe fence.

The thin white posts spaced occasionally are light poles and the stocky white object in the left b k ac ground is the familiar water storage tower which stood near the entrance to Aggasiz Park and served during the 1913 strike as a lookout on which was mounted a hu t- . ge spo light for the portection of the mining property. The Calumet Methodist Church mentioned in the 1881 ' ' ' picture and the Swedish-Norwegian Church are clearly pictured here. ,94 Although this pieture of Calumet in 1881 is too small to permit identification by meanloltne legend printed below it, there are some interesting features here shown. The Washington School is easily discernible as is the Jefferson Qstanding where the high school now standsl. On the corner now occupied by the Pay Office .stands the Congregational Church which was later moved across Red Jacket Road to the site where most of us remember it. And speaking of churches, the Calumet Methodist Church here shown has a spire rather than the familiar square tower of the church recently destroyed by fire. This is an 'older one, and the spire on Mine Street, behind the Methodist Church is that of the Swedish-Norwegian Lutheran Church, morefamilihr to present-day residents as 31 Mine Street, the teacher's boarding house sometimes good- naturedly referred to as the 1-lennery. In the left foreground a train indicates the location of the depot on Depot Street. View from the Superior smoke stack looking southeast and pre seniing a fine vieyv of the Calumet Hotel across from the Washington School. A careful look will also reveal Lyon's Hardware Store on School Street between Lyon's home and Calumet Avenue. In the field at a distance, standing alone, is the Garfield School on the site now occupied by the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. View from the Superior smoke stack in 1893 looking south along Calumet Avenue and Mine Street and presenting an excellent rear view of the Washington School. Ostrander's meat market is one of the first buildings on Mine Street next to the site of the present high school.
