THE ARGGNAUT MCMXVH The Faculty You know we love our teachers dear, And for the truth, please, do not fear. Miss Talbot's the one who always knows, So every pupil to her naturally goes. Then comes Miss De Both, with her cheery smile, ' With patterns of hats of the latest style. l. Ronan comes next with a theme to write, No matter, if writing it, takes you all night. Mr. l-logg's jokes all make us merry, But itis said he ate the dictionary. .Mr. Fort teaching algebra, and perhaps some trig, Gives one an impression he is quite big. Mr. Dean is the one who makes you work, Low grades you' 11 get if you try to shirk. Mr. Price, one interested in the boys, Certainly shows he doesn't mind noise. Mr. Storrs is of course naturally quiet, ln solving the question of animal's diet. Mr. Valaske, one from the German Band, You'd better be careful or you'll get canned. Mr. Potter who's thinking of visiting France, Got a couple of juniors to teach him to dance. Miss Wilson in teaching a botany class, , Impresses the principles of growing grass. Mrs. Page certainly makes you hit the keys, Her room always sounds like a nest of bees. Then M. Ronan with her list of kings and queens, Gets you so mixed you can't tell peas from beans. Look at Miss Ullrich in any of her phases, You can easily tell she is fond of the Pages, Miss Barker certainly gets tre cake, For at public speaking she's no fake. l TI-IE ARGONAUT MCMXVII Miss Rogers, altho quiet and sedate, Can give instructions - - how to bake. Miss Rupple surely can teach you Dutch, She can't be beat, for their is none such. Mr. Kirst is so busy with manual labor, It seems their are few who can win his favor, Miss Simmonds, our teacher in drawing, you know ls blest with charms resistless, I trow. u Now here they are, as you can see, But if they get angry, you'd better flee.

For ive years following graduation he was superintendent of the 'schools of West Bend, Wiscomin, Just before taking up :his work at Iron Mountain -he recieved theedegree :of Master of Arts from Harvard 'Uni- versity. ' He was swell fitted for his life work for he er- celled -in' administrative -and executive ability. His aim was to -have P8 'perfect schoolg perfect in instruction, perfect in :discipline perfect in tone and in spirit. Mr. Amidon's schoolad- ministration the Lincoln building was completed, -and the 'Wash- ington, Lowell, Fulton, Farragut and High School buildings and the Carnegie Library were constructed and the number of teachers was increased -from forty six to .seventy six. Mr. Amidon -enjoyed an extended reputation as a succesful superintendent and was held in high esteem by his associates. For years he was one of the leading :spirits in the Upper Penin- sula Educational 'Association 1-andfat one time was .president of that organisation. 1' We,,1the -of :nineteen hundred seventeen, spent cle- ven out of our thirteen 'years of .school life under his induence and thememory of his fine personality will remain with us always, A Mildred Johnson '17 as s --r.4 rg T HE ARGUNAUT MCMXYU Qur Attendance Officer THE class of nineteen hundred seventeen is glad to preserve in this publication the likeness of Iron Mountain's genial attendance officer, Mr. J. D. Cudlip, who for nearly a quarter of a century has contributed much in time and energy in enforcing the compulsory education laws in the state. 1 THEARGUNAUT MCMXXQL ' V She Stoops To Conquer T HE opening of the nineteen hundred seventeen commence- ment .season in the dramatization of Goldsmith's comedy, She Stoops to Conquer , on May 18 proved a complete suc- cess. The evening was begun with several high quality musical numbers by the high orchestra, which were followed by tive specialities, under the direction of Miss Lucille Brown, To the senior class belongs the credit of establishing a stan- dard for the production of classical plays. After several months of intensive training by Miss Isabelle Ronan, idirector, the cast was little less than professional. Each character lived his part and acted it with a naturalness, not realized often by organized casts. Historical in its significance, because of the combination of romantic and classic element, the play offers immense possibilities for intensive character study. The hero's part, Young Marlow, taken by William Cudl ip, was one of the most finished roles. He acted a most didicult one, playing a double character, Ald bin Peterson, the spoiled son, Tony Lumpkin, deseaves the high- est praise for the originality and naturalness. The role is one usually take, only by those most finished in the line of acting. Leah Baribeau, as Miss Hardcastle, was charming. Both her stage appearence and acting, especially, as the bar maid, were winning. Diggory, the funniest servant role, was splendidly taken by Carl Erickson. His military training always brought laughter from the audience. The role of Constance Neville, the rich neice, is one of the hardest to make vital because of its pseudo classic characteristics. Eleanor Brown, who took the part, en- livened the characterand made it one of most interesting on the stage. The role of Hastings was exceptionally well taken by Edward Jones. In looks, bearing and voice he was a typical Englishman. One of the most intense roles in the play is that of Mrs. Hardcastle. J oh a n n a Clidord fitted the part, acting espe :ially well in the sc e-ne at theintervention of Hasting's letter 9, QU ER N CO OCJPS TO ST V SHE -a or THECARGUNAUTMQMQQQL. O The heavy role of Mr. Hardcastle was acted by Arno Rudolph. The highest compliment can be paid him for he lived his character every minute--whether portraying the blustering or the forgiving Hardcastle. The rollicking laughter of the inn scene and the awkward ways of the servants in the servant scene gave a fitting background for the play. The play was the best ever attempted by the high school, and its success is due largely to the intensive training of Miss Isabelle Ronan, who spared neither her time or ability in helping the cast to interpret their roles.

Feeling this deeply, w e wish t o express our heartfelt thanks to our superintendent and teachers who have so unselfishly labored to mold our character that we might grow strong in order to cope with the problems of the future. So, too, the social functions which we have enjoyed together, will be held in memory' because of their association. But like the marks made by the finest chisel on marble they will soon disappear, leaving only their faint tra- 'ceries on our character. However the fruitage to our mind has already shaped itself into a mold, which wili soon be hardened by various experiences. . - ' To-night, we pause in contemplation of what those experi- ences will be. All of us during our student life have been for the most part receiving, instead of giving, The latent powers of our minds have been developing and expanding under ever-vigilant guidance. Our road has been made easy. Nothing ,has been spared by the teachers ta make our instruction painstaking and intensive. ' A And now, classmates, comes our testing time. We owe as students, recievers of all the thought and care 'that have been lavished upon us we owe a debt not easily or lightly paid. We must 'show .to the world that we have been the recipients of marked favorsg we must justify the twelve years of efforts in schol- astic training and the devotion and care given us in our homes. Our future work may demand our noblest and keenest efforts-- the highest demonstration of every latent possibility, a great faithfulness to duty, or a service that is self-sacrificing. But whatever may be our future, we know that now is the time, when we must begin to live a. vital existence. H-1 ...J THE APvQQH?xUTM,CM?9YlL, Valedictory continued We recall the expression, ' Sow we must,' - reap an action, Sowan action, - reap a habit, Sow a habit , - reap a character, E f Sow a character, - reap a destiny. So we must constantly keep in mind thefreaping of a des- tiny and whatever may be the cost, we must remember that since the value received has been high, the value in payment must be just as high. Nothing then, is too expensive, no eEort too great for us to pay, for we have had the highest assets at our disposal. Shall our road be difficult? - 'A Classmates, I feel confident that we shall find guide posts on the way-stepping stones which will daily directour footsteps nearer to the greater and nobler things of life iuntil our ideals be reached and our victories won, for we all have our ideals. Per- severance Wlfinsu shall always be our motto. It shall urge us to worlz intensively and enthusiastically: thus, finally through con- stant effort a,lesson which we have learned in our high .school work, shall we be able to develop ourselves and, then, give to the world our best and noblest gifts. Browning tells us, - ' ' 'There shall never be one lost good! g What was, shall live as before. Therefore, ,the best in us shall be. given to the world. When-' ever, our energies seem lagging and our ambitions failing, if we but ,think of our motto as the heartstring which binds us together as members of the class of 1917, I feel that inspiration for bigger eEorts will come to us, so that in the end we may prove a credit to our class whose foot steps in high school were always guided by that motto, Perseverance Wffinsf' - I Mamie Miench '17, V THE ARGGNAUT MCMXVII Class History of '17 y A history is the accurate record of epoch making men and wo- meng it stands as a memorial to the deeds of the greatg it is the epitome of the world's movements as revealed in the actions of the known. Let me be the historian of the Class of 1917. Let me not hope to rival the productions from the gifted pen of a Gibbong let me not hope to excel the passionate pages of a Carlyle, but let me in simple language relate the interesting events of the four years of our high school life. Our world is the school-room, the class-room, the countries to which we have gone in our travelsg our guides, the teachers. ln our little world, then, we have fought our battlesg we have had our joys, our jealousies, our hopes, and aspirationsg some of us have lostg others have wong but all of us have been benefited. Four years ago when we entered this high school with egotism we were like all other freshmen, imbued with a sense of self-importance, and boastful of our own abilities, We were easily introduced to high school customes and traditions because of similar routine in the Hulst Junior High School. Once es- tablished in our classes we decided to show the upper classmen our ability to lead in scholarship and class activities. How we succeded let me tell you. Our efforts were not rewarded the tirst year because fulfill- ment of such aims takes time. But the seeds were sown which later developed into a rich harvest. In athletics we won mention our boy's basket ' ball team won third place. This year also saw the origin of the splendid girl's basket - ball team which continued for four yr. 818, the most prominent players being Mildred James Judith Jclrzcn, Arnie' Rahoi, Hulda Nowatzki, Claiice lord and Marion Farley who is not with us now but whose good work deserves mention. The next year we found ourselves sophomores, taking the sec- ond degree of high school life with dignity. That year we saw the first fruits of our endeavor. We won second place in basket THE ARGONAUT MCMXVII ball. But a greater feat was the mastery of geometry, the Waterloo of many sophmores. It was in this year that Emil Erick son our member who made the highest record in grades, showed his mathematical and scientific ability and his talent for carpentry. His accuracy in geometric constructions assured him of his possi- bilities in manual arts, and paved way for the possibility of his scientific talent. Being naturally somewhat of an artistic and nature loving class, botagny appealed to many of usg while to others it was a use- les, grind. Thus were developed the talents of some of our art- ists. Hulda Nowatzlzi received inspiration from the drawing of the different vegetables and Clarence McGrath from the study of the flowers, trees, and other beautiful forms of nature. In athletics that year Willian Cudlip first showed his basket- ball ability, and Edward Jones his prowress in track activities. He won second place in the mile dash andhcontinued his good work during his junior year by winning a Hrst honor in the mile and half - mile dash. Mr. Jones has also the distinction of hav- ing three monograms. He seems beseiged with honors, having been president of the class during the sophomore year and is also president this year. ' ' In the third year we discontinued teasing our underclass- mates and settled down to seriousness. The class now re- sponded magnificently in debating as well as athletics. We con- tributed the greater share of members in the debating teamg name- ly, our gifted orator Paul Rahm, his contemporary and political rival who speaks for himself, R. Henry Larson: and your histor- ian. We were met wiih indifference at first from the seniors and some members of the faculty but we persevered in spite of such coldness. Q This year saw one of the best girls' teams of which our high school has ever boasted., We not only won the inter - class championship but defeated our rivals from Norway by a heavy score. ln social activites we excelled also. The originality of many of the members of our elass was shown in the Hard Times party given in the fall. This event was a great success and a glance --.THEARG0NAUT -MCMXVU i at the costumes would make one really think we were reduced to direst poverty. At this affair two dignified members of our faculty became veritable farmers obtaining a glimpse of city life. A The banquet we tendered the senior class was considered the best and most original of any ever given in the high school. One could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw the transfor- mation ofa bare gymnasium to a palatial reception hall. .The rivalry between the junior and senior classes was buried that eve- ning in the interweaving of the colors - - green and white with the blue and maize. Lucy Cole demonstrated at this aEair her ability to plan a banquet fare and arrangements pertaining to the table. Paul Rahm also showed his ability in the art of repartee by quelling an egoistical senior. Having drudged through examinations for a week we awoke one day to discover, ourselves dignified seniors. How well we became our dignity we shall see. We appropriately chose the motto, Perseverance Wins for our high school life, since we were guided by this principle during the three years spent in high school. ' The beginning of our senior year was marked by the success of our foot-ball boys, who vanquished our old rivals, Stambaugh and Norway who I dare say were rather surprised to find them selves at our feet. As a reward for the good work done by the coach and the teamlthe senior girls tendered them a banquet on the fifth of November. This banquet surpassed the previous one given by this class in success and originality. The toasts i-ef sponded to were cleverly and appropriately designated by such technical terms as, kick-off , touch-down , score , and ' 'gridiron' ' . Welwere greeted in English class last fall with the prospect of writing an oration. Although we are not easily frightened, the idea fairly staggered us. Many were loath to beging others anxious to rid themselves of the burden applied their motto Perserver- ance Wins with dogged determination. The remainder con- cluded it couldn't be done. After struggling in a sea of un- certainty for a month, Miss Ronan advised us in gentle tones that it was time to begin work upon them and that she wanted F i THE ARGUNAUTMCMXXQLL, no laggards. 1 lmagine the numerous and weary evenings spent at the li- brary, which lacked seats for all the workersg and many were the smiles exchanged between the outsiders to see such energy displayed. The results proved worth our efforts. Out of six- teenseniors' who entered the preliminary contest, judged on both thought and deliveryf Johanna Clifford won first place, Paul Rahm second, land Marie White third, Our Destiny was the title of the winning oration. The subject which related to compulsory military training in the public schools perhaps aided in its selection, but Miss CliEord's winning personality was a de- cided factor. She again won first place in the district contest held here and second honors in the Upper Peninsula contest held at Marquette. Thus, our class has the unique distinction of sending the first representive from the-Timm Mountain High School to the Upper State Contest. ' The class has aimed at perfection, not only in social, athletic and oratorical lines, but in dramatics also, in the choice of the senior play, She Stoops to Conquer. It marks an epoch in the history of the high school dramatic work, for the senior class was the first .to present a classical play. The success of our play not only depended on the quality of the play but also upon the ability of the players. Each actor seemed particularly adapted to his role, Forthose who have seen the play no praise would be adequate for such a production, but l must say the part of Tony Lumpkin, taken by Albin. Peterson, Kate Hardcastle, por4 trayed by Leah Baribeau and Diggory taken by Carl Erickson are hard to forget. Kate l'lardcastle's sweet innocence when speak- ing the lines - - - L' Nectar, nectar? That's a ,liquor there's no call for in these parts. French Isuppose. We brew no French wines here sir and Tony Lumpkinls mischievousness when he brought his moth- er inta the horse pond are, I think, two scenes in the play which will long be rememberedg as for Diggory, the mere mention of the name is suflicient to provoke laughter. A S The interests of the individual members of the class have as widely diversified as there are departments. Clarice Lord has -mIlT1E-A?xGQNAUTMC1YD9YL- discovered her business ability in the commercial Held and it has been a means of showing her the splendid possibilities in civil service which she anticipates pursuing next year. It is also Htting to mention the splendid scholarship of Mamie Nliench, our valedictorian and a close second, Dora Gibson, our salutatorian. We envy their ability and brains and wonder how they did it. E Carl Erickson, who received third place, is perhaps our most lovelorn figure. The ardor of his scholastic enthusiasm has some what fallen off under the charms of a certain freshman girl. This is only one of the many romances in our class. The re- hearsals for the senior play developed some that seem destined to last. William Cudlip has long watched with adoring eyes hiS pretty heroineg and Emil Erickson though repute to be very bash- ful centered his affection on the dignified matron of the play cast. No little community is without its hopeless lovers, and our little world was not left without such. Philip'Prenevost from his seat in the rear of the study hall missed' none of Mae Honey- church's pretty gestures nor failed to note any of her movements around the room. The same can be said of Arno Rudolph who likes to be reminded of the fact. V On the twenty-fifth of May of this year, Mrs. Page gave an operetta entitled The Pirates of Penzance in which many of the seniors took part. Three seniors were given important roles, the role of the Pirate King was given to Victor Holland Kate to Lucy Cole and the part of Ruth to Mildred James. Thus have we told you of our successes and failures. Let me close the leaves of our history with a hope that our future lives will be as happy and as successful as the days spent in this high school, andvthat this class will make its influence felt in the world. Anna Cohodes '17, When Algebra and Elmer clash, Then poor Elmer goes to smash. 1 . e, e THE ARGQNAUT -1YlCMXV,E,- Salutatory PARENTS, teachers, and friends: I I We, the class of l9I7 , hail you with enthusiastic greet- ings! During our school life, all our energies have been directed toward the hour of graduation. We have looked forward to this day, as the end of all our temporary aspirations, the realization of our ideals, the culmination of our ambitions. Now, that the anticipated hour is almost in sight, the crown of glory and honor that we wish to have, rests upon the amount of work we have accomplished: for in all cases, the end crowns the effort. A Having realized our youth' s ambition, we find, however, that at the end of this struggle, we are merely at the thresholdof a larger goal, which is but the stepping stone to another greater and broader one. Now we should find a point in the distance, to- ward which .all our future activities must be steered. As a ship that is pushed out upon the broad sea with no point in view will arrive nowhere, so shall we fail if we drift on the dark waves of chance, with no goal ahead. Therefore, to attain any degree of success, we must have a definite aim. In reaching this nobler purpose each of us must strive for himself: each goal is individualg and the aim worthy to be attained by one member would be unworthy of the ambition of another, whose nature is different. Our 1ife's work must yield fruitage, strength, and beauty , as. potent and powerful as each is able to accomplish. Ours will require the courageg ours the gain. Hence each of usmust choose his own path, each must tash his highest faculty. Few, if any, may reach the summit of human endeavor, but no matter what one's aim may be, with the motto, Perserverance Wins , forever before him, he shall be victorious. Though the obstacle in the path may look ominous and impassable, we feel that the individual instruction received in our school life will be of' aid to us throughout. When Napoleon, the greatest of generals, turned from his European conquests into Italy, his soldiers rebelled and scoffed at an adventure which seemed so impossible. You cannot is THE,-.5BGQNAUT-M,QMXVII ,cross the Alpsln, they cried. lt is impossible. But did he give in to their murmurings? No! With that determination that characterized him throughout his entire career, he answered them grimly, There shall be no' Alps! , and they were led on to certain victory. With this unconquerable spirit, we as independant individuals shall meet all dimculties which come before us. And in our striv- ing to reach our goal, shall we make the coming generation real- ize the beauty of the world which we are .to enter. Shall we with Browning say: 1 The year's at the springg And day's at the morng Morning's at seveng The hillside's dew pearledg The larh's onthe wing 3' The snail's on the thorng God's in His heaveng All s right with the world! Again from happy and hopeful heartrs we extend you a hearty welcome.

He is the first member of the High School to enlist and he deserves a great deal of praise for his patriotism. Dalbert Miench has been elected president of the class to fill the vacancy left by Carl Miller. Ora Pelham and Eldred Swanson, both juniors, are taking two of the leading parts in the Pirates of Penzance, an oprettu given by the high school music classes. - Recent accounts give William Brockington and Carl-Miller a great deal of credit for the way in which they guarded their part of the line in football last year. The fame of the junior quartette composed of Bernard Weber Dante Rubbo, Abner Browning and Eldred Swanson is increasing with each performance. In a recent tour of the city schools they were received everywhere with applause. A number of junior boys will receive monograms for their share in the school athletics this year. Seven of this years basket ball team were juniors and they are turning out well in track 4 We hear that Emil Plambeclz haslcome to believe in home rule. Five members of the orchestra are juniors.

THE ABGONFQUIMCMXVII Private R. Schwei U. S. THE call to arms, after the declaration of war, resulted in a score of enlistments from lron Mountain. On April twelfth nineteen hundred seventeen, Robert Schwei, an enthusiastic and industrious member of the junior class of our high school, en- listed in the cavalry of the United States Army. To Mr. Schwei a great honor is due for so willingly offering his services, and his life, if need there be, to his country. May the example of this patriotic and loyal student, who so enthusiastically left his friends and school work to assist in defend- ing the land of his birth, lead us all to be more patriotic and loyal at this time of cational crisis. 5 Later: Walter Kinney has recently enlisted and has also been accepted by the examining officers.

Yet this lack of knowledge can scarcely be attributed to ignorance. During our first year of high school life, the look of compassionate pity bestowed on us by the condescending juniors, the look of abso- lute disdain on the part of the exalted little seniors and the dark and swordlike . glances from teachers, made us realize our insignificance. . Butsubmitting .to all this ill usage, we strove to better our- selves. Our adopted motto was To do or die, and never did a people more loyally support it. When the almost impregnable algebra was doing its worst to conquer us, -we quietly ,submittedto all abuse, from the powers that commanded us. History with its questions demanding almost superhuman mentality was borne with magnificent forti- tude. Likewise, did we survive the study of English, which, we are told is an essential factor in making us representatives of the social world. We bore that oppressive treatment for one whole year. Then the miraculous occured. That dorment spirit, which had been abused so long burst out in a rage, and then died. Yes, died! ' t T A new spirit was born - the spirit of the sophomore class of 1916-1917. This Spirit abides with us yet, and it is to it we owe our value. We are by no means conceited over the fact, but in compliance with the Ancient Order of Chivalry , we must truthfully admit that our elation is in full bloom. May that spirit dominate us during our high school life. T Irene B.

I've so much to tell you that I don't know what to write first. Oh, Dorothy you don't know what you have missed by not coming to our high school. We have such fun! Of course, we study too! Just think! Our class is organized! Evald Edlund who made such a splended John Hancock for our Washington program, is our president, and Rudolph Ohmen is our vice-president: a girl with long black braids, Muriel Sturtz, is secretary. Oh, yesl must not forget Frank Carlson, who is treasurer, although I guess he doesn't get very much money. We gave a typical Washington program before the high school assembly on Washington's birthday. Girls and boys with pow- dered wigs you know! A statue representing ' 'The minute man, ' ' and a scene showing the hero of the day as surveyor, were pro- trayed, and, then, the girls danced the minuet. I wish those girls back of me would stop whispering. Oh, yes, I musn't forget to tell you of our exciting basket ball game. We beat the junior girls. Q Dorothy. can't you come to our classparty on the twenty- eighth of this month? The girls will represent ' 'sunbonnet babies and the boys will dress in' over-all make up, I know it's go- ing to be splendid. Write to me soon to let me know.

The bi-monthly meetings have been notable for the en- thusiasm and interest evinced. At each meeting programs were carried out in which all the members took part. In Septembera party was held which was declared by all to be very successiul. One ofthe most interesting events ofthe year was the Mock Trial, which was held in October. Dui ing the month of Febru- ary a senate was organize d for the purpose of giving further oppor- tunity for debating and extemporaneous speaking. Several other minor events have taken place and each has shown that the Lin- coln Literary Club is a growing and prosperous club. A 4Although the membership of the club is not large, the mem- bers have proven their ability by taking prominent part in all the school activities. In the interscholastic debate, the club was represented by Paul Rahm, Rolf Eskil, Eldred Swanson and Vernon Johnsong in athletics by Edward J ones, Carl Miller, .3 LLHIDOS LHVHHLIT HOINHF HI-Il T1-IE ARGONAUT MCMXVII Arno Rudolph, Paul' Rahm, John Benzo.

As representatives of the high school facul- ty they have assisted the club with valuable suggestions and criticisms. Vernon Johnson 'l8. The Junior Literary Society in GN the eighth of November, nineteen hundred sixteen, a fine healthy child was born. Shortly afterward the child was christened, The Junior Literary Society. The sponsors at the ceremony were chief executive, Irene Antoniolg second executive, Muriel Sturtzg private secretary, Marvel Oliverg keep- er of the money, Ruth Johnson. I f The child gave early promise of vocal ability-thirty-eight strong. 1 Many happy hours have been spent in the child's nursery the music roofn of the high school. The lives andfworhs of many of the great writers and poets have been studied, as:- Shakespeare, Burns, Holmes, Whittier, Eugene Field and James W. Riley. Other memorable days have been those ob- serving Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the anniversary of Washington. This child like all others looked eagerly forward to the Christ- mas holidays. A Christmas party at which the the child enter- tained with her big sister, The Senior Literary Society, was a day long to be remembered for both the cleverness of the ' 'stunts' ' and the true holiday spirit shown. A party long anticipated was given, April 11, 1917. The pro- gram consisting of special dances, tableaus, music and well chosen literary numbers, was arranged to display to parents and tutors, the growing and intellectual powers of the child.

Among the things needed to accomplish this wasa literary club whichwould aid them in public speaking, and foster a friendly spirit among the girls. Mr. Butler, and the faculty, especially Miss Ullrich and the Misses Marie and Isabelle Ronanf were instrumental in ac- complishing this. The club which was organized had a membership of thirty- five- girls from the Senior and Junior classes. Time andpstudy were given to the selection of officials, 'as it was realized that the succes of the club was largely in the hands of the oilicials. The following officers were chosenz- Sophie 'Khoury 'fwas chosen Pres- ident, Myrtle Larson, Vice President, Margaret Touhey, Secre- tary, Almeda Bohman, Treasurer, and Lillian Van Laanen Chair- man of the Program Committee. Everyone has performed the duties of the office given her very creditably.-1 ' 1 The programs were of a varied nature consisting of debates, declamations and musical selections. ' ' '- A joint social meeting was held with theJunior Literary Club at Christmas time and on April 21' a party was given by the club, to which the girls invited their friends. Both of these .social func- tions proved to be a successfevery one present having an enjoy- abletime.

P-.- THE DEB ATING TEAM h,Tl'lE. - ?!1'fGQNf?HT--MQM29QL.., Debate AMONG the many features of our high school, debating has found it's place. Like the raising of an elevator, which starts out with a slow rate of speed, but continues to increase until it reaches its destination, the demand .fsfdebating and public speak- ing has grown. V ,N H A The debating class was organized during the latter part of September. Much interest was shown and a large number of stu- dents entered at this time. Training of the voice and stage ap- pearance were given much attention at Hrst. Later, present day problems were discussed, including the question to be debated inx the Menominee Range lnterscholastic Debate. 1 On Dec. 22, a debate on the stated questionjwas held in the assembly room of the, high school. The teams were com- posed of:- affirmative, Irene Antonial, Sophia Khoury, Vernon Johnson and Reuben Larson. The negative, Yvonne Gingrass, Eldred Swanson, Rolf Eshil, and Paul Rahm. The decision was in favor of the negative, two to one. At this time the two debating teams to represent the hi gh school in their annual debate were chosen. The debaters chosen for' the teams were, ' Irene Antonial, Vernon Johnson, Yvonne Gingrass, Reuben Larson, Rolf Eshil, and Paul Rahm. The trianing received in debating and public speaking has shown its results. With a few appearances before an audience, the characteristic fright has worn away. - The insight into present day problems and development of extemporaneous speaking has been greatly augmented. To Miss Isabelle Ronan, the instructor in charge of this de- partment, much credit for the success of the debating spirit is due. She has given n'-uch assistance to the debaters by her ability to instruct in argumentation. It is hoped that in the coming years debating will hold its place in our high school as one of the chief activities. Paul Rahm '17, Q I A 1 J I 4 I ,J r.-. THE ARGONAUT IVTCNXXVII , Qratorical Contest 'TO stimulate interest in public speaking, the state educators have divided the state into dis- tricts, for the purpose of holding preliminary, contests in view of selecting the .state's best high school orator and reader. The former can only be taken from junior and senior classesg the lat- ter- from the freshman and soph- omore classes. This year our high school entered the contests. From for- ty - eight orations written by members of the senior , English classes, fifteen optionally en- tered the contest. From this number, judged on both thought and delivery, Johanna Clifford, Paul Rahm, Marie White, Annie Cohodes, Clarence McGrath,, Hulda Nowatzhi, and Evelyn A Anderson received the highest ranks. At the final preliminary Johanna Clifford received first honors with the oration, Our Destinyf ' Paul Rahm was given second place and Marie White, third place. V Contestants numbering about thirty entered the declam- atory contests. Those chosen as best were Irene Antoniol, Adele Unger, Marvel Oliver, Reuben Larson, Muriel Sturtz. and Beatrice Burt. At the final ,THE .ARGUNAUT MCNDEVL preliminary Irene Antoniol with the Soul of the Violin, won highest honors. Adele Unger and Marvel 'Oliver tied for second honors. On April thirteenth, delegates from Amasa, Ironwood, Iron River, Wakeield, Norway, Crystal Falls, Powers, Gladstone, Stambaugh, and Vulcan and- our two representatives met on our platform to compete for district representation. Enthusiasm ran high when both our contestants carried 087 honors, Johanna Cliff- ord winning first place in oratory, and Irene 'Antoniol, second place in declamations. Ironwood took second honors, with the oration ' ' Naturalization of the Immigrant 'I and Crystal Falls first with the declamati'-n Napoleon Miss Clifford. was thus dele- gated to represent our district at the upper state contest. This contest was held at Marquette, Michigan, on April twenty-seventh. . The six contestants, in oratory. and declama- tion holding the highest places from the three districts were pres, ent. The contest was a close one. Hancock with the oration A Plea for a County Correction Farm,' ' won first in oratory with eleven points. Miss CliEord won second place with twelve points. Newberry won third place with Problem of the Mis- iit with thirteen points. In declamations, Marquette won Brst place with the declamation Darrow's Plea , and Crystal Falls won second with Napoleon . Altogether the work this year in our school has been pleasant and profitable. Eleanor Brown '17- Mr. D. is my teacher, I shall not want.

The membership is about twenty-eight. Although the baritones and basses were good yet the club was fortunate in having an exceptional tenor section. The harmony of their singing was beautiful and the blending L THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA THE ARGONAUT MCMXVIIg of voices was especially good. The club showed remarkable ability in handling new music. The club staged in the later part of the school year a minstrel show, by which they accomplished success only through the long, hard and tedious work of its members and director. Some of the most up-to-date music as Underneath the Stars , Carry Me Back to Old Virginnyn, Mother's Cook- ies and ' Tis Morn , received the club's attention. The high school was really proud of it and we hope the future years may bring many more like it. Eldred Swanson 'l8. The Qrchestra e GRADUALLY the Hgures, thru the mist, grew into definite forms. I was sitting with my two closest friends in the Metro- politan Theater waiting for the concert to commence. The first number was an overture by the orchestra. There was a slight unrest in the audience, occasional rustling of pro- grams, and gene-ral settling down in the auditorium. A A.fffew moments later an all-prevading quiet came over thdflerowd. All eyes were turned to the room from which the members ofthe orchestra were walking to their places in the semi-circle. The first person who came forward was a woman of great personal magnetism. She flashed a sweet smile at the members of the orchestra as she took her position with baton in hand. A girl behind me whispered distinctly to a friend, She is Mrs- Page, one of New York's most famous directors. ' I took another look at the group now in their seats. I could scarcely believe my eyes, but there they were, every one of themg Patty Flaminio, Bradden Strong, Theressa Foster, and Marvel Oliver were playing first violins. Dante Rubbo's curly head rose above those of the others as he and J. O. Blair with their c Jronets led the stirring harmony. A few distinct chords rose now and again as Myrtle Larson's ingers flew over the keys. The deep full tones of Arthur Franquist's trombone gave much necessary weight to the selection. A moment later the light Q 4 T. L ND BA YS', B0 HOOL SC E TH - . THE ARGQNAUIMCMKX11, necessary wsight to the selection. A moment later the light bird-like notes of Eldred Swanson's flute came to me. As I leaned forward in breathless attention, the music floated upward in the sweetest cadences. I seemed to remember that selection of former years - -yes- - they were playing, ' 'Greetings' - - our own, old piece. The notes of the violins rose and fell in happy, laughing tones and with one, long vibrating breath the song died away. u The doors of the theater were thrown open and the cold crisp air greeted us as we made the way through the crowd. It is all over, I whispered to myself, all over. Oh, the cold air, I shivered and drew up the covers to my neck. It was - - only a dream yet do not dreams sometimes come true? p Marvel Oliver. '19.

Accord- ingly, one of the acts of the present administration was the organization, at the beginning of this school-year ,of the school- boy's band. The band is made up of , competent instrument performers who are in actual attendance. One notable feature of the organ- ization istthe fact that none of the players are mere beginners, hence from the date of organization, they have been able to pro- duce good music. The band has been in attendance at the basket-ball games during the past season, contributing very largely to the pleasure and enthusiasm of the games. , H, It is probably that the band, in its present state of excellence is only the beginning of what will become a permanent organization to the schools of the city.

THE Dressmakers' Club was organized in 1919 in order that the members of the advanced sewing class might increase their ability in dressmaking in as many ways as possible. This year be- cause of the increased number in our class we found it impossible to organize as early as in the previous year. I The purpose of the club is to gain a broader knowledge of sew' ing along various lines such as the process of manufacture and com- paritive durability of diH'erent fabrics, the origin and development of typical fashions, the fabrics best adapted to different garments and different styles of gowns. As we met to discuss these top- ics, ideas and suggestions were exchanged much to the benifit of all. Through this we were brought into closer social relationship which in the future will yield an added pleasure as we recall the struggle and triumph of the sewing room. It has helped to a- rouse enthusiasm and unity, and we have found encouragement in relating our mutual endeavors. In recalling our high school days the meetings of the Dress- makers' Club will be remembered as being our most enjoyable and most profitable experiences.

Selected KUM BOSS CLUB --THEAPSGQN5U.T,MQlYlZ4YlL , The Kum Boss Klub T THE Kum Boss Klub was started in the latter part of 1915 ' under the leadership of Mr. Amos. Fred Trestrail was elected president. As the club, was organized so late in the year, it was discontinued until the following year. when Victor Holland was elected president, and it was again taken up with fair success. ' - This club was organized for the purpose of making better farmers in the community, and to help explain problems that could not be taken up in the school work. One of the aims, for instance, is that each one perform some project during the- year, It may be a flock of hens, or a small garden. Another reason for starting the club was to bring the beginning and. advanced classes together, and to help the members to think for themselves more and to be able to know how to talk on agriculturalsubjects. The first project, which has been taken upby the class, as a whole, was the operation of a incubator. The classes also plant- ed fourteen bushels of potatoes on the school plot, as well as a number of other crops, at which every member worked hard to make it a success. ' f Some people think that Dickinson County is a mining and lumbering district, with both occupations nearly run down, and with nothing else in sight, They would be surprised if they would get out and see the-amount of clover, oats and potatoes that can be raised on one acre compared with other farming dis- tricts, They donot seem to realize that Dickinson County is a part of Cloverland , and that there is a great chance for suc- cess here. l Arise ye men of farming blood, And stealthe chance while it is good.

They be- gan training in their sophomore year, making one appearence that year, at the Parent--Teachers' Association ofthe Hulst School, and pleasing their audience. As juniors they have each developed leadership, and their voices are blending well. The bass is exceptionally fine for a boy's voice. We predict great success for their senior year. This is the third successful quartette developed in high school in ive years, under the direction of Mrs. NPage. Earle K.

Q ,Q Much credit is due Coach Price for turning out a victorious team from the material he had. When he called for volunteers the first day of school, thirty-'five responded. After two weeks of hard drill we were prepared for the first game with Vulcan. One of our greatest victories was thatover Stambaugh, our old rival. They came here expecting to run up a large score as they had gained over other teams but theygmet their Waterloo. Both teams were ready for a hard iight and enthusiasm ran high. Stambaugh tried an end run. We managed to make this a loss for them. Naturally to start the game they had to pick on our smallest man Dutch but it was a hopeless case. They could not K 1917 AM LL TE BA ET SK A ATHE B THE ARGUNAUT MCMPSVII. . get around him. Suino started the scoring by a kick which sur- passed any in our football history. Holland made our touchdown on our wonderful play, the delayed pass. Capt. Benzo made most of our gains and was the star of the game. Stambaugh scored on a fumble. ' The Iron River game was the hardest fought, neither side being able to score. The field was covered with snow and conse- quently the game was a slow one. W f Thus we ended the season as champions with the splendid record of not having lost a game. With this record established and the return of most of the football veterans next fall another winning team is assured for the season of 1917. William cudnp '12. sg .

T Basket-ball 1917 0 WITH the laurels of the interscholastic league of the Menom- inee Range and much-earned and well-deserved fame our valorous football boys closed the football schedule of the year 1916-1917. , . But their athletic careers were not to culminate in the clos- ing of this field of athletics, for, upon leaving the gridiron, they entered with slight misgivings and uncertainty into the large and copious Held of basketball. This slight uncertainty was soon dis- pelled by the masterly manipulation of the different phases of basketball routine by coach Price and handsome results were anticipated. But owing to the character of the gymnasium floor, our players were placed ata decided disadvantage. It is, indeed. unfortunate that the gymnasium does not have a have a hardwood floor, similar to those of other schools. A gain, owing to many complications in the gymnasium schedule, the boys could not prac- tice as frequently and thoroughly as the circumstances necessi- tated. A large delegation of candidates were at th e preliminary practices from which coach Price selected the most promising members. The enthusiasm shown at this first turn out was indeed, intense and it neither waned nor relaxed throughout the entire season. In fact, the enthusiasm and good spirit of the boys were two of the predominating elements. Throughout the season, Coach Price instilled into the boys the ideals of playing cl aan, high-spirited, and sportsmanlike games. They were fast, well-contested, and were not delayed or spoiled by wrangling. Again, the accidents were negligible. It is through this type of game that the name of basketball islup-held. All beholders of the contests in which the boys participated conscien- tiously declare that the lron Mountain High School baslzetball boys up-he-ld the good name of the game of basketball with suc- cess, if not always with victory. .

THIS conversation between an elderly woman and a teacher is quoted as having been heard as they waited through the lower hall. Visitor: Why is that whistle blowing? High school teacher: A basket ball game is in progress. Should you like to go in to see it? ' Visitor: l have never seen one. What do they do? Teacher: The junior girls play the senior girls tonight. Visitor: What does lfee, tie. foe, fum' mean? Teacher: Nonplussed, Well, ldon't know just what they mean. They are words used in a yell. Visitor: Where are the seniors? Teacher: Those with H17 ' in figures on their arms. ' ' Visitor: Who is going to win? Teacher: Well l can't very well tell. Last year our pres- ent senior team beat Norway witha score of 18 to 0. So far the juniors haven't a score.' ' Shouts of Knock it, Susie - - Senior out - - That's it, Jim - - Shootl Shoot! were heard.

A ,- A sudden cry of Atta girl Dutch -- You're a shark, THE SENIGR GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM 1917 THE ARGCJNAUT MCMXVII g Annie was yelled. ' Visitor: I never heard such language. I don't see any sharks. Teacher: The students tell me they can't stop that under- hand throw between the guards, and there is a secret between the centers. Visitor: HA secret code? What's that? Teacher: That is what their opponents are trying to find out. A Just then the whistle sounded .to close the game. Visitor: Who won? Wfhere are they going? Teacher: Oh, the seniors won-these seniors are certainly invincible. They have only lost one game in three years. ' Visitor: What are they counting? ' Teacher: Listen, they' re giving their score. : Visitor: What did they say? I had to stuff my ears, or it would have deafened me.' ' ' Teacher: The score is 43 to 5. I Visitor: Leaving the gymnasium. Wasn't it too bad that so many got hurt. g V Teacher: They weren't hurt. The last five' minutes, the seniors put substitutes on the floor. . Visitor: If they wouldn't make so much noise, the girls could throw the baskets better. Don't you think so? Feel- ing it impossible to explain to the sympathetic elderly lady, the teacher led her out of the gymnasium. 9 f Clarice C. Lord.

AT the beginning of the basket ball season things looked gloomy for the sophomore class. We elected our captain but at first the boys did not respond to the call for practice. However, after winning from the freshmen, enthusiasm ran high. We soon met defeat at the hands' of the juniors. Then Captain Wm. Gorell, now willing to do or die , called his men to practice 'every available time, teaching them real basket ball tech- nique. The seniors played us next, but we made them give the laurels to us. ' Again we .defeated the freshman. The juniors, our old enemies now advanced with a host that would frighten any victorsg but this time met their equal. The seniors were scheduled ifiextil and as before met their XWaterloo. ' Then we played the high school first teamg more for practice because ofthe .coming game with Niagara High School. Q In both games our ability seemed to leave us. The following players received class monogramsga Charles Luber, William Hosking, Alwin Holland, George Lord, William Gorell, Rudolph Anderson, Elmer Baril, Elmer Robbins, and Clyde Trevarthen. These fellows starred ' in every game they played. Next year we expect these boys to be in our high school first team. As a result of the class games, we now have the champion- ship of the inter-class games of the Iron Mountain High School with an average of 850 per cent. Evo DeConcini f19.

GIRLS' PHYSICAL CULTURE CLASS THE ARGONAUT MCMXVII Girls' Physical Culture ' FROM the beginning of this school year, training in physical edu- cation has been required of all students who are physically able. Because of heavy schedule, Mr. Price was relieved of all the High School girls' classes in Januaryg now under Miss Brown's charge, the girls' classes meet two days a weeh with periods forty- iive minutes in length. The worh is interesting and very enjoyable. It consists largely of marches, drills with wands, dumb-bells, and Indian- clubs, folh drills, corrective exercises, first aid worh and various games such as volley ball, corner ball, indoor baseball, and num- erous others with bean bags. These games 'exercise all muscles of the body and tend to strengthen them and give the body grace. The use of music with all drills makes them more interestiffg. To give the public an ideaof the work, Miss Brown is plan- ing to give a public demostration. Each of the eight girls' classes will have a definite part. The worh will be the same as that reg- ularly taken up in classes. ' 'B i - Although this is the first year physical training? has been tried here, it -has been found very beneficial, and with such an excellen teacher as Miss Brown, no girl can help but receive a large amount of help from the work. Besides the physical benefit, the work is so different from that of other classes that it gives the student a period of recreation. Carrie Trestrail, '18 Miss Barker: What part of speech is 'cousin' ? ' D. Prenevost: lt's a preposition because it shows relation- shipf Ruth Peterson: Cnc dayl thot lhnew my geometry very' well, 'and I got stuck on a point. ' Mr. Hogg: What were 'lettres de cachet'? ' Ed. Charlotte: 'iMust have been love letters. BOYS' PHYSICAL CULTURE CLASS --THE-ARG0NAUT-1YlQ1!lXYIL- , Boy's Physical Culture Class The addition of the physical training course to our school system has been one of the most beneficial and 'important in re- cent years. This course being comparitively new to the boys, it was with considerable difliculty that Mr. Price, our instructor, caused us to realize the benefits that such a course offers, We have reason to believe that the course has grown in popularity among the boys. Our school system now aims at accomplishing a two-fold purpose, namely, a proper development of the mind, andpa Ht- ting development of the body, the latter being a necessary step toward gaining the first, U N , ln order to realize the importance of this course we appreciate the place of preeminence it has taken among the' most fully developed school system of the whole world, the educaa tional efficiency having increased immeasurably. Everywhere there is every evidence of physical education continuing in the popular favor of students in particular and citizens' in general, u 3 Clarence MC Grath ,'1'Z.
