Before we knew it, our exams were over and vacation was here again. Our three month vacation passed, and we returned as juniors, facing our hardest year under the capable leadership of: President, Philip johnsong Vice President, Lloyd Rautiola: Secretary, Betty Immonen, and Treasurer, Ruth Juntila. Thomas Condon was chosen our intramural manager. The class coun- cil consisted of Fred Xlfilliamson, Morris Vedder. Marion Williattiis, Ruth Puska. and Mary Ann Bonini. Mr. Gaffney was our adviser. Our first important de- cision was the choice of an attractive class ring. After many weeks of diligent preparation we presented our Junior Class Play, Mistakes at the Blakes, on April fourteenth. Members of the cast were: Morris Vedder, Philip Johnson, Delores Murtonen, Daniel Rozman, Norma Miekelsen, Charlotte Nikula, Joan Nottoli, Fred Williamson, Fred jaehnig, Carl Olson, Dorothy Smith, Ruth Juntila, and Esther Maki. Our directors were Mrs. Mattson and Mrs. Worden. On May twenty-first we gave the annual spring reception. The gym was transformed into an undersea kingdom with murals of coral, fish, and mermaids. Music was provided by Jimmy Sedler's orchestra. This was the last important activity' of our Junior year. With the arrival of fall we took on the much awaited position of Seniors. Our officers for the year were: President, Morris Vedder: Vice President, Delores Murtoneng Secretary, Claire Feldscherg Treasurer, Fred Vfilliamson. The coun- eil members were Katherine Kotila. Esther Maki, Betty Innnonen, Joanne Van Dyk, Burton Stern, Joseph Gemignani, Donald Heikkila, Thomas Condon, and Lloyd Rautiola. Miss Eskola was our class adviser. The polio emergency cut short our football season but despite this fact, two of our Senior boys received honors on the All-Conference Team. Burton Stern and Joseph Gemignani were elected to the first and second teams, respec- tively. Burton Stern was awarded the Albert E. Funke, Jr. memorial medal, an annual award given the boy who is chosen the most valuable basketball player on his team. Our basketball team took third place in the conference and was defeated by Lake Linden in the final tournament game. On December fifteenth the play Three Blind Dates was presented. Those participating were: Rttth Puska, Norma Mickelsen, Delores Murtonen, Dorothy Smith, Philip Johnson, Fred VVilliamson, Morris Vedder, Katherine Kotila, Marjorie Ballard, and Barbara Houle. The director was Mr. Wirkku. Our yearbook was completed under the editorship of Philip Johnson with Marion VVilliams and Norma Mickelsen as his assistants. XVe chose topper and green for our class colors and the Joanna Hill rose as our flower. The traditional class night program i11 which the entire class participated was held on June sixth and the commencement exercises the following night. Our four years completed, we echoed our motto, Here endeth the first lesson.

YVe are graduating! It is with sincere pleasure that I welcome you to these, our commencement exercises. During our school lile we haye lormulated the pattern of the coming years. though in the beginning we little realized the significance of the diploma we now receiy e. The world. which we in our tllltll are entering. has eyer challenged youth. But today' there are new standards constantly' changing and becoming more precise. The law ol the uniyerse is progress. lNlacaulay' says: A point which yesterday was inxisible is a goal today and will be a starting post tomorrow. Our world is progressing at a rapid pace. It is becoming apparent that it takes a generation or two longer to persuade eyery' person ol its demands on those who seek to start their liyes in profitable and uselul occupations. Many parents, judging by the standards ol' their youth. come to the conclusion that anyone can earn a liying by steady. diligent work. Of course. that is true. Neyer- theless, our ciyilization would neyer hare adyanced had there not been those who yearned lor greater knowledge. As men yearned, they learned: they spe- cialiled and became proficient, with the result that higher standards were auto- matically set. The drilters were left behind to eke out a bare existence. The time has come when man places greater emphasis on exploration by brain rather than by brawn. Our world grasps at truth, now being reyealed by those who dared to plunge ahead. This is the world that faces us, a world in which according to Lowell. New occasions teach new duties: Time makes ancient good uncouth: They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast ol' Truth. lt is in this spirit that we liare l'orward to meet the challenges and oppor- tunities ol' this dillicult, but braye new world. X'Ve recognize the fact that Op- portunity' is no longer haphazard, but particular and demanding. 'l'o her first question. Hate you a high school diploma? we answer in the alfirmatiye as we say larewell to our sheltered school years and leaye behind what is dear and larniliar to us. Nye express our gratitude lo our parents. our teachers. and our t school. XXI' hail the luture uu.rl'r:rid. May we prore ourselyes worthy in the sight ol' our corurtry and our God. -ek C- 5 Ve?i:'s Page thirteen Wale' lay lx'rlIl11'1'i111' Iioliln Parents, teachers, and friends: For thousands of years men have been seeking and fighting and dying for gold. because gold meant riches. One hundred years ago people of every race, creed, and nationality went to California to search for gold. Some went on horseback, others, by boat, but most of them went over the dangerous mountain passes and deserts by prairie schooners, bravely flaunting their motto California or Bust. The boom was on! Finding gold as thick as dust, they staked their claims and became rich beyond their wildest dreams. However, some found the gold was slipping away. They were the failures who sadly returned to their homes and former occupa- tions to pick up the loose ends of their lives. After a few years came the depression which according to the economic cycle always follows a boom. Now, on the one hundredth anniversary of that famous Gold Rush, we seniors, who are being graduated from high schools throughout our country, are really De- pression's children. However, we are not children of the depression following the Gold Rush, for just twenty years ago these United States were on the skids starting down the slide into the depths of thc desperate depression of the early thirties, and fifteen years ago we had started the long climb back. Between the top and the bottom of that cycle we were born, therefore, we had none of the gold dust which must have been sprinkled on the children born one hundred years ago. We received very few of the luxuries, but we did get the necessities of life to make us strong and healthy at this stepping stone in our lives. When we think ot' the strong character, the fortitude that our parents passed on to us, the faith that they had in themselves, in this country of ours, and in God, to want to make a home and raise a family at a time like that, we want to say to them, Thank you for getting us off to such a healthy, strong, and interesting start in life. Our own Quincy Mine was opened one hundred one years ago. Because mining was our chief industry, we know that very few of the citizens of the Copper Country went to California to seek gold: they stayed in their own yard and mined their own type of gold, copper. That same characteristic came out again in Iron Mountain, when, during the depression of the early thirties, they began to develop the Pine Mountain Ski Hill. THAT was the gold in THEIR back yard. This ski hill, dedicated in 1939, has been the scene of numerous ski jump events, at which many skiers have competed, and some have established local, national, and world records. Our lives are similar to those skiers who compete on the ski hill. The hill itself is like our schools, the E. L. Wright, the Edward Ryan, St. Joseph's, and the High School, all good, substantial structures provided by the citizens of this community through the Board of Education, which give us protective surroundings. To the Board of Education and to the citizens of Hancock we say, Thank you for this second home which we have enjoyed for the past twelve years. Continuing with our picture of the ski slide, wc need skis in which to take part in all events. The skis, which are chosen after very critical inspection, and are smoothed, treated, and waxed with almost loving care by the skiers before being put into actual use in ski jump competition, are like the education which we have received in these twelve years. For, from the kindergarten on through the grades and in high school, we have been watched over, we have been smoothed, we have been soothed. and, yes, we have even been waxed with loving care by our teachers. We know that they have given us a straight and strong grained education on which we can rely as we compete in the life ahead of us. To our teachers we want to say, Thank you for the many lessons you have taught us. ln these school years we have easily and readily taken the slide down the hill to the jump, our high school graduation, which we have now reached. According to our motto, Here endeth the first lesson. Now, as we enter the next lesson and take off into the life ahead of us, some will establish local, some national, and some world records. May God grant that we shall maintain our balance throughout our leap into the future, and that as we land, and complete the circuit of our lives, we shall earn the satisfaction that comes of having helped our fellow men. When our life's record is ended, may the Creator write after our names You have lived the good lifeg you have fought the good fight. I age f0lll l'l'll.

P111111' fIl'4'llI1f-flllll' Before puffing and panting up Quincy Hill, we, Johanna Somero and Catherine O'Conne!l pause long enough to bestow our daily walk upon Janet Townsend and Joyce Karpinen. Having succeeded Bob Seaton as President of the Baehelor's Club, I, Bob Nominelli willingly leave this honor to Bob O'Connell. Remember, Bob, be faithful to that pledge! I, Norma Mickelsert, after busily chattering for all these years, will my gilt ol' gab to Chester Jeffery. To Stanley Thompson, I, John Verbanac, leave my dark complexion and quiet ways. I, Betty Syria, leave my deep dimples to Charlotte Corbeil. Grin broadly, Char. That's the way! I, Fred Mfilliamson, refuse to leave Carol, for she's mine and I'n1 taking her with me. However, I will leave my ambition to become a mortician to Douglas Crawford. Hear ye! Hear ye! I, Marion IfVilliams, am about to leave my sense of hu- mor to Car! Voelker. Oh dear, what will I do without it! I, Pearl Sjoblom, wish to leave my almost unpronounceable name to the Swede who can pronouce the s and together. I, Joan Nottoli, will leave my love for high heels to Sally DesRosiers. It almost feels as if you'rc on top of the Empire Building, doesn't it. Sally? I, Mildred Mattson. leave my fondness for the art of sewing to Edith Kesti. I, Paul Mount-joy, leave the noisemakers in my boots to John Kotila. You must promise to make as much noise as possible. My most valuable possession, The Art of Successful Bluffingf' written by me after four long years of experi- ence, I leave to Aila Saarnivaara. I, Barbara Houle, gladly leave my soft voice with Corinne Plassa. I have decided to keep my drag with XVI-IDF for further use. Having decided that one person's quietness wouldn't be enough to subdue her. we, Elsie Tossava and Vieno Keranen, have combined to bequeath our quiet and unassuming ways to Lenore Yelland. I, Bertha Nissila, leave the 1111 of keeping quiet when there's nothing to say to John Spitz. I, James Dale, will take everything with me, including my love for a certain Freshman girl. I, Rosemary Andreozzi, leave my pleasing personality to the present Junior Class to help thetn through the difficult senior year. To Mary Ann Preiner, I, Mary Ohnemus, leave my position as head ma- jorette. My Bobby I leave in Miss Merke's charge. Take good care of him, for I'll be back for him at the end of the year. I, Carl Olson, gladly leave my nickname Kalla to any poor fish who will stand for it. My superfluous height I bestow on Little Jon Saunders. To some aspiring basketball player, we, Albert Pardini and Bob Makela, leave our superb basketball ability. 'l'o anyone who lands the job of yearbook typist, I, Betty Lassila, leave my typing ability. You'll certainly have to learn the art of deciphering many dif- ferent kinds of scribbling! I think l'll take my advantageous position as the daughter of the Chief of Police with me. I, Delores Murtonen, leave my patience to anyone who likes to play the piano but often has a hard time playing the right notes, especially in Mixed Choir.

CIIASS OF '-III IX'lil'NlCSSIiS: Cllt-nu'ntitu' llnmplm-y' lfmil I'uy:' flllfllfjl-NIJ' pfwpfzecq I am old Papa Prophet. I haye been summoned to rexeal the destiny of the class of nineteen lmndred and forty-nine. 'Tis many a year, 100 years to be exact, since 1 hate beheld a class with such a successful past and fabulous future. But that is only traditional, for are not all '49ers triumphant explorers? The extensive plot ol' land on which you are camping, haven of the porcu- pines, beginning from the boundary' of Roaring Creek to the distant Catskill Mountains shall be your settlement and hereafter be called Porcupine Gulch. The town Mayor is the class' only great politician, Rudolph Kemppainen. On holidays he is seen riding on his horse and grinning at the crowd which roars, Hail, Emil! Our star journalist, Charlotte Nikula. has risen to the position of editor- in-chief ol' The Nugget, the newspaper ol Porcupine Gulch which is weekly, monthly, bimonthly, yearly or whenet er they get it off the press. The professional cartoonist ol' The Nugget is Arlen Juntunen, and nat- urally his most popular comic strip is The Gumpsf' The recent issue published the picture of Mary Ellen Carney, the famed pianist and opera singer ol' the nearby town ol licho Canyon, The star shutter bug is Morris Vedder. and his Iirst assignment was to photo- graph Claire Fcldscher with her winning smile, for the Blondex Shampoo Ads. In the woody regions of our settlement. surrounded by the wilds of nature. lixes Marion Y'Villiams, the second Elizabeth Barrett Browning, engrossed in composing poetry' for The Nugget. The cleanest little rest:uu'ant with the bcst hotne made chow in town is Freddy s Snack Shack with Frt tl X'Villiamson, the chief cook and bottle washer. His favorite dish is Carol-ala-mode. Bill Richards is Porcupine Culch's new speed cop. Right now he is in the fire hall informing the admiring younger generation neret to exceed the speed of 90 miles per hour! The town barber, the only left handed bush clipper in the XVest,. is none other than Bette Hawken who inherited the talent lrom you-know-who and you-know-where. Bette is engaged in cutting the sleek, curly locks of Jeanne Kulju who will attend the contention ol' XVizards. You see, Jeanne owns the Kulju Mystery' House deep in the shadowy forest where her contagious laugh scares patrons silly. The community's Fox Theatre was bought by the experienced pop corn maker and usher, Ruth Puska and Allen I.ehti. Quite an agreeable partnership, don't you think? Mildred Mattson is the fashion designer of lNladame lXIildred's Dress Shoppe. Elsie Tossaya is the head seamstress who specializes in making wedding gowns for the blushing brides. Down beside the woodland pond sits the dreamy artist, Barbara Houle. sketching the quiet countryside. She still has one ear glued to her portable radio. listening to that certain yoice. The happy' pair, Mr. and lXlrs. Lowell Karjala. fhfrs. Karjala was the former Betty Immonenj are leading a quiet lil'e on ze ranch in a secluded spot ol' our settlement which they call Dogpatch. The cousins X'Villiam and .Xrthur Nuottila are employed as the cowpunchers. About a mile down the road stands the little red school house of Happy Val- ley' of which Norma Mickelsen is the school-marm. The little shrimps are the exact replicas of this generation but are too numerous to name. Patil Romberg is the blustery truant officer who has grown a goatee and a handle-bar mustache. He just can't understand why kidsiwant to skip school. Page twenty seven The high I. of this class of '49 is reatlily set-n when we realilt-cl a Uni- versity was nt-t-tletl lor tht- settlt-tntnt.

Rudy was resting in the lounge because so many giggling girls had asked for his autograph that day. On the next floor the Detroit Tigers were resting and the star pitcher, Allan Saari, was having his southpaw massaged. Chatting with him was Joe Gemigna- ni, now a fullback for the Chicago Bears. Downstairs in the kitchen. Paul Mounljoy was busy concocting the delicious, refreshing koolraid, for the weary travelers. Porcupine Gulch is proud of its women's baseball league, the Bat's Ball Club. Rosemary Andreozzi was elected captain as well as the star first baseman, while Mary Ann Bonini is the ace right fielder. Catherine O'Connell is the manager, but during the games, she stands in center field and swats flies. The cheerful country minister, Philip johnson, preaches regularly to his spellbound congregation. Among the pious faces, he recognizes plumber Robert Makela, a notorious advertising cavalier, and Vernon Syria, the commissioner of drainage and garbage disposal. Down in a dark woodland dell in a cave lives Bob Nominelli, the only class bachelor and hermit. However, in the evenings, Bob turns into a dark red skin, Straight Arrow, and rides his polomino. Fury, into town to defend our fair city. John Verbanac is a wealthy owner of the Y'Vcst's rich prairie lands. Out on the open plains, his lusty foreman, Russell Xvalman, is bossing the workers in a great bellowing voice. On the first floor of a large building in Porcupine Gulch is the Children's YVelfare Playhouse. Here Johanna Somero is enjoying the job she always wanted to have--that of being a governess. Helen Pesola's restaurant, Ma's Mush Room, is the chief competitor of Freddy's Snack Shack. Helen does the cooking while Betty Syria is the charming waitress who keeps the sparkler shiny on her left finger by washing dishes. A poster above the soda fountain proved especially interesting. It announced the puzzling contest open to any adept tongue twister able to pronounce Pearl Sjoblonfs QS-j-o-b-1-o-m-'sj last name in a split second. Ardis Harris turned the world topsy turvy when she accomplished this feat only 5 minutes ago on a radio program. Her grand prize includes a trip to Painesdale so that she may revisit her old friends. On the outskirts of our city is Albert Pardini's razor factory. These razors are designed especially for those high school boys reluctant to shave. The determined Delores lXlurtonen has received her degree in nursing and is now the head nurse at the hospital which they have aptly named The Mor- tician's Preamble. Our Tech coed, Gerry Asher, has followed her medical course and is now the great woman surgeon of the hospital. For once she is able to bury her mistakes. The hospital dietician is Dot Smith, but right now she is touring the world in Search of rich herbs to bring sunshine to the doomed patients at the Morti- cian's Preamble. The quaint little lady who lives in a shoe is the cheerful child nurse, .Ioan Nottoli, with a child clinging to her skirts as she neslles another dozen in her arms. She sings them lullabies, and they obediently go to sleep. After a turn of the decade, we find Donald I-leikkila finally settled on a cattle ra11cl1 in Oklahoma with his only pet, Sara. The powerful Daniel Rozman has his own lumber camp in the neck of the woods. Quote, His brow is wet vyilh honest sweat, unquote. Thus ends the remarkable prophecy of this, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-nine. ' Page twenty mm' 0 0 O 'V u , . s l 1 A-5 4 ? Q f C 4 I - Q 'Q 9 1 si Vx 1.

WWE The basketball team had one of the most successful seasons in recent years, end- ing up in third place in the Copper Country conference, while winning nine games and losing four. We also played three non-conference games in which we were vic- torious only once. The Crimson started out slowly losing a majority of the first games played. How- ever, we were very strong in the games played after Christmas vacation, playing probably our best games then, especially when we defeated a strong Gwinn outfit on their home floor. The tournament, played in the beautiful new Sherman Gym, was a bitter disappointment to all Hancock rooters. In the first game we played in the tour- nament, we defeated a highly-favored L'Anse quintet. The next night, we met Lake Linden in the battle that would decide the Regional championship. Jimmy Dale held the boys together in the first half by making some remarkable shots and the Bulldogs led 19-17. But the Lakes were not to be stopped. They gained a lead in the third quarter and were never headed, winning their fifth consecutive Regional Tournament in a row. The departing Seniors on the team sincerely wish all the future basketball teams the best of luck. an flfly-fron' Same Seann Jfigfnliqfnld: Joe Gemignani's shooting ability was a bright spot for the Bulldogs all year. He was especially outstanding in the Ironwood game when he dropped in 16 points, mostly on long shots. Fred Ojala showed himself to be a lightning-fast floor-coverer and a good ball- handler. High in the scoring column, he also had the ability to set up plays for the others. The pride of the '49 team was the victory they scored over Gwinn. The Gwinn team had been undefeated until that game, and they were not defeated again until they were put down in the state finals. Jim Dale, the abbreviated Bulldog forward, proved to be a spark-plug of the team this year. Burton Stern showed his own special talents for basketball this year, playing the center spot, and setting the pace in the scoring column. Paul Mountjoy was another hard worker who helped carry the Bulldogs into the tournament finals. He showed plenty of spirit and was always ftalking it up, keep- ing the morale high. Bob Nominelli showed up in defensive ball. He was another whose specialty was setting up a play for the others of the team. A word also in praise of the bench team, Allan Saari, Bob Makela, and Albert Pardini, who were always ready to step into a spot on the floor, if perchance, a Varsity regular received injury or his fifth foul. They were always on hand, and their presence at practice is what developed our team into one of the finer hardwood squads this season.

Later the pledges, arrayed in many types of weird dress, as designed by the older members, were initiated on a rollicking scavenger hunt. Several hotdog sales were held throughout the year. Two pep assemblies were presented, one of which was a short three aet play. The grand climax of the year, however, was the second annual Mardi Gras of which the liits were Co-Sponsors.

Bette Hawken Some of the earlier projects of the year were a tea for the faculty, the football banquet, and a hamburger sale. In November they held their traditional Thanksgiving dinner. at which time their initiation was held. On the evening of the Senior Class play, the girls sold aprons, cookies, and jelly which they had made. To be different this year, and at the girls' rf,-quest, Miss Merke gave a practical semester examination instead of the usual written one. They energetically prepared a dinner for the faculty. They also served tea to the faculty and parents on the two Parent-Teacher visit- ing days. The main project for the year, however, was a style show held at Miller's store. The girls modeled the garments which they had made and some ready-made ones from Miller's. Because of the large number who wished to attend, two shows were held, both of which were very successful. As the grand climax of the year, the club went to Marquette for the Annual Home Economics Guest Day at Marquette Northern College, where everyone had a grand time and arrived home tired. but happy. i Page sem ff Sf-nlcd: lvlnry Claire Richards, JoAnn Tillman, Delores Murtonen, Charlotte Niknla.

Katy Ellis' brother, George, is a very unsocial chap, only interested in chemistry. While he is away at college, Katy sets about to reform him. She spreads the news among her girl friends that George has undergone a miraculous change and is now a man-about-town. She puts pipes, athletic equipment, and girls' pictures in his color- less room. George arrives home with a new experiment and brings along a friend, Neil Olson. Immediately the girls rush over to see George, who is, at first, quite un- responsive. After much confusion and entangling of circumstances, the boys end up taking the girls to a dance and all ends well.

In two weeks, on May 21, the gymnasium was converted into the bottom of the sea. A huge steering wheel was the gateway to this transformed Davey Jones' Locker. The great sea of tropical fish swam about us while King Neptune and his adoring mermaids were brightly illuminated by the spotlights from the shore. In the extreme left corner a sunken ship with its cargo lay entangled in seaweed. Opposite from that was a dark cave, Davey Jones' Locker, a port for punch. Jimmy Sedlar's orchestra was enclosed in a large scalloped sea shell with heavy green moss covering the floor of the shell. The waves of green crepe paper interspersed with a thousand green balloons, gave the illusion of an angry rumbling sea. During the grand march, leis and confetti added to the festivity of the party. Mardi Gras l'uy1.' wighly s k N i P afufia SICN IOR l'.XR'l'Y To start the ball rolling in the good ole' lI.C.H. fashion, the Seniors spon- sored a Houghton-Hancock all school party on Noyember 5.

Music was furnished by' accordionist Margaret Andreini, who also played lor a number ol mixed dances. For those who did not dance there was a yariety ol. games. .Nt intermission, seyeral door prizes were giyen away, one ol' which was a luscious cake. A skit, called Sweater Girls, was presented by some ol' the ambitious juniors. The party was well attended and enjoyed by' all. M.-XRDI CRAS On April Fools' Day a yery' gala and entertaining evening was sponsored by the Literary' and Recreation Clubs. Yes, you'xe guessed it,-it was the second annual Mardi Gras. liach club was inxited to set up a booth. and there was such a yariety' ol' them that many did not lind time to dance to the soloyox music ol' Betty jane Sawy er. K The booths ol'l'ered lishing, bingo. ball tossing, basketball shooting. and fortune telling. Balloons, pennants, and blankets in colorlul array gaxe the gym a rery' lestix e appearance. .X white picket lence separated the dance lloor from the booths.
