Ironwood Catholic High School - Loner Yearbook (Ironwood, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1980 volume:

To you, The school year passes quarter by quarter, month by month, not by groups. Every stu- dent plays an important part, and no one is more or less important than the next. This book, a series of events that you hold in your past, you now also hold in your hands. We hope that this yearbook has fulfilled your expectations of what a yearbook should be. We owe many thanks to our cooperative yearbook staff who came through when needed. Special thanks to Annette Da Lio, who was always there and did more than her share. We would also like to thank Mr. Grenda for his time and guidance. From us, • 2oJC 7 DEDICATION The students of Ironwood Catholic High would like to show their appreciation to a man who has spent endless hours giving advice, taking pictures, and retaking pictures. He is a man who has an under- standing of youth today. Therefore we would like to dedicate the 1980 yearbook to Mr. Ronald Surprenant, affectionately known to all the students as “Ronnie”.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it is beautiful.” CLASS COLORS: Red and Cream CLASS FLOWERS: Rambler Rose and Baby’s Breath CLASS SONG: WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN LIFE — so they say, Is but a game and they let it slip away. LOVE — like the Autumn sun Should be dying, but it’s only just begun. Like the twilight in the roaa up ahead They don’t see just where we’re goin’. And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go And take us up, always up. We May Never Pass This Way Again. DREAMS — so they say, Are the fools and they let them drift away. PEACE — like the silent dove, Should be flyin’ but it’s only iust begun. Like Columbus in the olden days, We must gather all our courage, Sail our snips out on the open sea, Cast away our fears, and all the years will come and go And take us up — always up. We may never pass this way again. So I wanna laugh while the laughin’ is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile. I may never pass this way again, That's why I want it with you. Cause you make me feel like I’m more than A Friend. Like I’m the journey and you’re the journey’s end. I may never pass this way again That:s why I want it with You (baby).
