Page Twen ty -Two Mr. Francis A. Bell Auld Lang Sync ll My PRESIDENTS ADDRESS In behalf of the Class of 1943, I most cor- dially extend our heartiest greetings to you our parents and friends. Having reached this goal which is of course but a milestone in the life which lies ahead of us, we pause to pay tribute to those who have made possible this commencement week. We are deeply indebted to the faculty and the Board of Education for their patient guidance and careful planning. Above all, we are exceeding- ly grateful to our parents whose insight and understanding kept many of us in school when we may have wished to drop out and go to work, join a branch of the armed forces or some such similar action. We may have grumbled and complained a bit along the way, but now when we can look back over our school years, we would not exchange them for anything. The Class of '43 is faced with one of the most perplexing problems that has ever con- fronted a graduating class, That is the prob- lem of our future educational training. The girls, of course, may continue their education just as prior to the war. In fact, it is impera- tive to the war effort that the girls do attend college. Manpower Commissioner Paul V. Mc- Nutt says that 65,000 young women must enter schools of nursing between June 1943 and July 1944 in order to meet the civilian and military needs. The fields of science and engineering are also open to women. Girls who excel in mathematics and science are well fitted for these professions. Their problem, then, is not one of limitation, -but rather one of deciding whether they should continue along these paths of fu- ture preparation, or should enter at once into the immediate fields of the war industries' or of the armed forces. Both are vital and the rightldecision undoubtedly lies with the indi- V1 ua . The problem which the boys face is even more confused and indeterminate, Many of the boys have already registered for selective service. Others will be eighteen before the summer is over, and will probably be drafted next fall. It is a very small minority of the boys in the class who will be eighteen after December of 1943. Some of these boys' could enter college for the summer term. With the present ac- celerated courses of study offered by the col- leges and universities, a boy might be able to finish two semesters by the end of the present year, However, no college or university will give a student the assurance that he will be permitted to finish a second semester. Many of the boys from las-t year's class did not do so. Only a few of the boys who did not attend col- lege are still in town and but a few who went to college are still there. All of this latter group say the same thing, It's no use going to college. It's just a waste of money. If this is true, then we can readily see that for most of us there isn't much chance of trying to continue our education along the normal pat- tern. For us who are either in the draft age or are near to it, there is but one course. As soon as we are inducted into the service, we can try to enter one of the many branches of specialized training offered by both the Army and Navy. There we can gain much in tech- nical skill and training. In the meantime both girls and boys can find things to do, Every one of us can pitch in and help defeat those, who by their greed and sel- fishness have disrupted the peaceful mode of living in all civilized nations. There are hun- dreds of ways we can do our bit toward win- ning the war. If we believe in our democracy and our American way of living, we must fight to keep them. In this task we shall not fail. -WILLIAM GRAY CLASS HISTCRY-STATISTICS The Class of 1943 continues' the custom of presenting something of the historical and sta- tistical background of the group, From an analysis of these facts and figures-, we hope to ascertain the trends of our community, and the resulting needs. This is the democratic ap- proach to the planning of an educational curri- culum. Since education and democracy have grown and developed together, it is now more vital than ever before that we should follow democratic procedures in determining our edu- cational policies. This class had its beginning as a unified group in Septembe1', 1930, when 157 were en- rolled in the kindergarten. Out of the 110 who are graduating in the class, 70 per cent are products of the Ishpeming Public School Sys- tem, the other 30' per cent having attended other schools at one time or another. According to Webster's Fifth Edition Diction- ary, the word education implies not only teach- ing, but also discipline and breeding. When we think of breeding we think of home back- ground, Delving into this, we find that either one or both of the parents of 41 students were born in foreign lands. This accounts for the fact that 15 per cent spoke no English at home prior to entering school. Today, after twelve or thirteen years of schooling, this is true in only a few cases. The English strain predom- inates in our class, with the other nationalities ranking in the following order: Finnish, Swed- ish, Italian, French, Norwegian, German, Irish, Danish, Greek, Scotch, and Austrian. The parents of 60 of the students' are of the same nationality. About 1 in 8 has only one parent living, 8 having lost their mothers and 10 having lost their fathers. Divorce is not common. In spite of the fact that there are numerous jobs' open to women at this time, only 12' of the mothers are working at full time 'obs. - J Many of our families were represented in the last war. The fathers of 30 seniors served in that war, and at the present time, only 1 fath- er is in active service, Forty-two fathers are registered for the draft. Thirty-seven members of the class have brothers serving at the pres- ent time, with a total of 47 brothers. It has long been the consensus of opinion Page Twenty-Three ll among parents and faculty that we, the mem- bers of this class, do not want to work, The facts, however, contradict this contention. A little more than three-quarters of the class have jobs of one kind or another. The aggregate sum of the weekly earnings amounts to almost 8300, an average of 32.75 per student a week. Most of the money made by the girls is earned by taking care of children, doing housework, and working in various business establishments in the city. Due to the war-time shortage of clerical help, the school makes its contribution to the war effort by arranging the schedule of classes so that students may have the after- noon for part-time jobs. One girl is employed at a local bank, and another is engaged in otlice work for the principal. The chief exertions among the boys seem to be delivering papers, clerking, and bringing in wood. One boy is employed at one of the banks. Of interest to note is the fact that 85 of the class have daily chores to perform, The health of the school child is watched from the time he enters school until he is grad- uated. By cooperating with the various local social service agencies, the school is able to provide many protective measures. As proof of this is the fact that 102 members of the class have taken the tuberculin test, and 85 have been vaccinated against smallpox. Other school examinations have revealed hearing and vision dehciencies, and these facts have been called to the student's attention. This year, acting in the interests of national defense, the physical training program has been extended to include commando type training. designed to build up endurance and resistance. The entire physical education course has been stepped up to provide the necessary wartime training. All students participated in the physical ed- ucation classes, with the exception of 9 girls and 4 boys who ere excused from regular gym activities upon a doctor's recommendation, Spe- cial gym classes, known as corrective classes, provide special training and care for those with recognized posture defe-cts, etc. Initiative is the priceless quality which causes- one to undertake voluntarily a search for solu- tions to problems that confront him. Initiative --it couldn't have been the Social Science De- partment!-has encouraged us to delve into the working of this great democracy of ours, and we find that three-fourths of the members have seen an election and have examined its work- ings, 44 per cent have visited a city council meeting, and one out of every five has seen a court trial, The class members have also recognized the value of travel as a means of furthering edu- cation and culture. From the records we see that almost '75 per cent have visited the points of interest in the Upper Peninsula, and over one-half of the class- have visited Chicago and Milwaukee. To one not familiar with the geo- graphical separation of the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, it might seem strange that only 34 per cent have seen Lansing or Detroit. Two seniors have been privileged to travel from the east coas-t to the west coast, while one has traveled to the southernmost part of the United States. Out of the entire group Page Twenty-Four i only two have taken trips by plane, although many have had airplane rides. While travel by car is for has beenj most common, with the railroads providing the second most popular means of travel, jeep riding is comparatively new, but already 43 of the class have been for- tunate-or unfortunate-enough to have experi- enced this novelty. Many members of the class show evidence of some cultural background, 42 having visited large museums, 44 a large college campus, 35 an aquarium, and 31 a state capitol. One out of every four has seen both an army camp and a war plant. The point of interest that has drawn the largest percentage of the class is not the Field Museum nor the aquarium, but the zoo, Ironically enough, the scenes nearest home are the ones last visited. Only a very few of the class have ever been underground in a mine. However, with these figures and facts before us, it cannot be said that we don't get around much. It is to be doubted whether any elements of the t'regular curriculum are more truly edu- cative than the activities associated with mu- sic, forensics, and recreation and the like. It is because of this that the school encourages par- ticipation in the various extracurricular activi- ties. Virtually all of the class, 96 per cent to be exact, enjoys attending various athletic events in which '78 of the class like to take part. Ninety-four per cent Gnd a great deal of pleas-ure in outdoor life, hiking, camping, fish- ing, and the like, and well over half, 63 in all, derive a g1'eat deal of entertainment from band, orchestra, and vocal organizations. A somewhat smaller number, 67 per cent, indicat- ed a liking for various other activities. The val- ue of these so-called extracurricular activities is brought out by the fact that the army and navy are as interested in a student's participa- tion in them as they are in his academic work. In these unsettled times some mention should be made of the immediate future of the grad- uates, For many, the army is waiting with open arms. Twenty-four of the boys will have reg- istered for the draft by graduation time. Ten have already tried to enlist in the various ser- vices, including the Naval Air Service, the Uni- ted States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, the Army Air Forces, and other branch- es. One member of the class was accepted, and is now serving with the armed forces. Having satisfied graduation requirements before leav- ing, he will be entitled to his diploma at this time. One boy has been successful in enlisting in the Naval Reserve under the V-12 program. The girls also have shown an interest in the auxiliary services of the armed forces. Of course, the age limit excludes all of them at this time. However, 40 girls have indicated that they would like to join the WAAC's, 13 the WAVE's, 5 the SPAR's', 5 the Marine Aux- iliary, and 1 the WAF's, Although most of us have not been able to enter service yet, we have not neglected other ways of helping. During the bond drive of last April, the seniors purchased stamps and bonds averaging 51.65 per student. It was mentioned earlier that the average weekly earning was 52.75, which shows that 60 per cent of our earnings was invested in war stamps and bonds. Ll It would seem from this that our class has faith in our way of life, as well as a well-developed thrift instinct. A great many of us have taken part in the victory garden program. Last year 32 worked in gardens, and for the coming year, over 50 have indicated their intention of doing so. The school has also done its part in further- ing the war effort. This year for the first time, classes in mechanical drawing have been opened to girls, and 5 senior girls' availed them- selves of the opportunity, Recognizing the need for trained mechanics in industry, and the ad- vantages to prospective servicemen of a back- ground in auto mechanics, the school instituted a course in auto mechanics, in which 11 boys took part. For those interested in and plan- ning to enter aviation, two periods a week were devoted to training along this line. Ten boys Tl and 9 girls seized this chance to learn the fund- amentals of aeronautics, aerodynamics and re- lated subjects. A class in radio code communi- cation was also begun this year and 6 boys and 11 girls enrolled. Thus the school is doing its best to keep the student conversant with the prevalent industrial and commercial openings. In tracing the history and compiling the sta- tistcis of this senior class, we have brought to your attention the fact that many new edu- cational opportunities have been opened to us this year, and that a favorable number of sen- iors have availed themselves' of these privil- eges. Throughout the year we have been urged and encouraged to learn as much as possible, along as many lines as- possible, in order to fit ourselves for whatever lies ahead, whether it is to serve in the armed forces or to serve on the home front, -J.

DOROTHY ANDERSON BETTY DAVVE MARJOR1E LOFARO SUZANNE SEDGWICK AUDREY swANsoN MARJORIE TRIPP Page Twenty-Seven PRESENTATION OF MEMORIAL-1943 lt is man's inherent desire to be remembered. Some gain this recognition by the swordg oth- ers achieve it with the pen. Many thousands of forgotten slaves toiled, suffered and died to erect pyramids to the memory of the Pharaohs. .I'res'dent Lincoln is remembered for the in- tangible, invisible, yet profoundly important Emancipation Proclamation. Compared with these great memorials, that which we, the Class of 1943, propose to present this evening may seem insignificant but our motive is just as sin- core. After giving due consideration to a number of suggestions, we have selected that gift which, in our opinion, would prove both practical and appropriate, This, we agreed, was an audio- meter. An audiometer, as you probably know, is a device for testing the hearing ability of a per- son, individually or in a group. The benefits which would be derived by the students through its use are readily apparent. Its service would not be limited alone to the High School but would be available to students of all grades. Its selection as a memorial is a natural cog in the wheel of educational progress and student Welfare. VVhile selecting our memorial, we have kept in mind the wartime conditions with their at- tendant shortages and restrictions. Therefore, impelled by the spirit of patriotism as well as necessity we are utilizing our funds to serve a double purpose-that of purchasing a mem- orial after the war by investing those funds in War Bonds now. In the course of consideration, we have deemed it wise to permit the school to make another selection for a memorial as a substitute for our present suggestion in case modern science by that time has devised something superior. Until the time when that purchase may be made, as the interest on our investment ac- crues, so will our appreciation of our high school years become enhanced with the passing of time. -HI-JRSCHEL MALMSTROM SALUTATORY TO WIN THIS WAR The Class of 1943 extends to you its heart- iest greetings on this final night of our Com- encemment week. We appreciate your gra- ciousness and interest in coming here tonight when there are other pressing concerns to com- mand your attention. Yet we know that there is one vital interest that concerns us all as Americans, and that is how to speed the vic- tory, which must be ours. It is of this prob- lem that I wish to speak with you this evening. Several months ago a historic meeting took place in a city of North Africa. In the Moroc- coan town of Casablanca President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, Generals De Gaule and Giraud, and several other great Allied lead- ers held a conference to decide upon the Allied strategy for the coming year. We have already seen one result of this consultation. The Axis nations no longer control any part of the con- tinent of Africa. One topic that every mem- ber of the convention agreed upon wholeheart- edly was the unconditional surrender of the Axis forces. No separate peace and no half- hearted attempt at patching the world's trous- ers with a Versailles Treaty is to be tolerated. Yet this war is far from finished, and if the truth be told, our country, in spite of our bril- liant African victory, has not yet begun to fight as- a nation. When a certain distinguished gentleman asked Frank Kingdon, the president of the Union for Democratic Action, what he considered a good name for this war, he replied: Perhaps it is not so important to name the war as it is to fight itg but if you want a name, I'll give you a name. The People's War. All over the world wherever the people have made the war their own, the tyrants have been halted. It was the Government's War in Britain until Dun- Page Twenty-Eight kerque. In China it has always been the Peo- ple's War. It is because of this that the Chinese have been able to survive during all these stren- uous Years. 'If it had not been the People's War, the Japanese would have had control of all China several years ago. Today India is a black mark on the map of the British Empire. If the present policy is kept in effect, India will be overrun just as the other European and American colonies in the Far East. But if the war in India is turned over to the people, an- other 4b0,000',000' persons will be on the march against Japan. Likewise, we in the United States can never hope to win this war until we make it a war fought by the people of the Uni- ted States for the ideals that the American people represent. Uur production powers are nearly limitless. At the present time airplanes, tanks, guns of all kinds, ammunition, and other items of mod- ern warfare are being turned out in quantities that are staggering, We are producing and sending huge amounts of war supplies to all our Allies, yet everyone of us realizes that we have not come near our possibilities due to an attitude of complacency. The United States is not devoting its full time to the war effort. Although the people are beginning to realize more and more that this is their war, many individuals' as well as groups, are waging their own private wars. Paramount issues are bur- ied by many trivial and sometimes foolish mat- ters. Staun-ch leadership and a firm guiding hand are essential to the complete fulnllrnent of our obligations, This leadership must have the full support of every man, woman, and child in these United States and these same constitu- ents must demand a sound, forward-looking pol- icy. If the leadership does not live up to these Cul expectations then it is up to you to enter your protest. Our men in Washington, as well as every citizen, must realize that this war is a People's War, to be successfully consummated by a joint effort such as the world has never wit- nessed. Any individual who refuses- his whole- hearted cooperation must be dealt with in such a manner that there can be no doubt of our intentions in regard to the war effort. A few days ago 1 saw a cartoon that pictured clearly the feeling in Berlin after the coal strike. All that was on the page were a pair of bushy eyebrows- and a small black moustache. The eyebrows said, How am I doing? and the moustache answered, Sehr gut, mein Herr! How do our fighting men react to perpetrators of strikes during this war? In England Lieu- tenant William Colantoni of Pennsylvania, a member of the United Mine Workers, who has been on twenty-one bombing- missions, wished he could take Lewis on his next trip, We too are shocked by the news of strikes, but not in the same manner. In all due fairness, we shall not curse these ruthless men who defy the government, but rather thank them for re- vealing to us how undependable is our home front. For they have showed us more than anyone else the unrealism of many measure de- signed to insure the effective working of our war industries, By this time some of you may be wondering why I am rather critical of our war effort. It is because I love this country, I love what it stands for, and I want it to be victorious. I want to live in a country where I have the priv- ilege to make a searching analysis of the gov- ernment, and then to voice my protest if I do not agree. If we do not win this war, then my mind will not be allowed to function, and my lips will be sealed. But the government alone is not to blame for our slow march to victory. The United States civilian is deserving of censure. Many an attic and cellar would reveal the selfishness of our citizens when rationing was announced. Many worthy governmental attempts at control have been made ineffective by lack of- cooperation. At best agencies of this sort have a difficult time trying to control those who violate. There are too many instances where the convictions a1'e not strong enough to dare report the vio- lators, Even more disastrous is the spread of the black markets, particularly in meat and gasoline. Not only are the patrons of such markets breaking the law, but they are also depriving others of their due share of a limited supply. Now I realize that the part a civilian plays in the winning of this war is far from glamor- ous. There is- not the thrill of a hazardous task, there is not the heightened emotion of facing a machine gun, there is not the glory of winning a medal. It is a humdrum, dull, tedious existence. His contributions are nega- tive things like working longer hours, refrain- ing from unnecessary travel, practicing thrift, and going without. But herein lies a vast re- sponsibility to do one's best freely and will-- ingly, so that the spirit of a new Gettysburg Address may survive. The spirit of 1943. Eight score and seven years ago, our fath- ers brought forth on this continent a new na- tion, eonceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great world war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure, Those who have died before shall not have died in vain. It is for this. our generation, to be about the task, which they have thus far advanced-that we here highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation and all na- tions under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. -WILLIAM GRAY PEACE BE WITH YOU In the echo of tolling bells can be heard the words- of a preacher saying, Peace be with you -peace to the farmer who slaves all week to rid his fields of insectsg peace to the miner who lives in that dark underground world digging ore to make new cars, trains, and ships, peace to the housewife who has worked hard and lon: to satisfy the needs of her familyg and peace to the children whose work and play is without worry. In the breathless stillness that follows these words of the preacher one can feel what peace really is. The1'e are some people who believe that since we are at war we should think only of victory, and when that victory is a reality then it is time to think of the peace, Yet, victory is only a means toward achieving our purposeg peace is our aimg freedom and peace are the ultimate cause for which we are fighting. Hen- ry A. Wallace, our vice-president, says, I be- lieve the sensible and constructive course to take is this: Do everything we can to speed our drive for victory. At the same time, think hard and often about the future peace, because unless we and our allies have confidence in that peace our resistance to our enemies may not be strong enough to beat them. Yes, if we have a more definite vision of the future world order, if we are offered a clearer hope of lasting peace, we shall be able to fight with a faith and a fervor that will unquestionably result in victory. The world holds a poor record of peace-mak- ing. If you look back in history you will ob- serve such names as Westphalia, Vienna, and Versailles. These are the blotches in the world's chapter on peace conferences. These are the disgraces that are forever haunting the peace- makers. Tallyrand upset the conference at Vien- na. At the peace of Westphalia France re- ceived Alsace, which has served as a source of territorial disputes ever since. Versailles gave us the League of Nations, only to have it strike back like a boomerang a few years later. Are we going to add another blotch to this list? Are we going to repeat the errors of bygone centuries? Versailles has served its purpose only too well. It served as a steppingstone for Page Twenty-Nina Al Hitler and his henchmen, as a text on which they based their tale of woe. Versailles! It was there that Hitler squared accounts when those humble French leaders signed a different armfstice less than a quarter of a century later. On what would you rather build a home, sand or solid granite? Of course, you would build on the granite, not on the sand, as the granite would make a better foundation and would not wash away, as the sand does, with every storm or fiood. But before you even build the found- ation it is necessary to have the plans. A last- ing foundation for peace! Well-laid plans are necessary for that, as it is through these plans that the flaws and wastes are eliminated. When we consider the forces that tend to make for peace and war, we must study and anaiyze the following: Ideologies, imperialism, economics, militarism, and the complexes of fear, hate, and revenge. Today there are in the world two major con- flicting ideologies: the ideology of subjection, op- pression by class, monarch, or state, and the ideology of personal liberty and representative government, We have certain pledges and peace aims expressed in the Atlantic declaration and in other statements made by the leaders of our country. Our ideology embraces four essential freedoms-freedom of speech, freedom of wor- ship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear, everywhere in the world, This ideology we must certainly incorporate in our plans for peace. There are- certain economic forces that had a direct effect in bringing on the last war. The chief one of these was an increase of popu- lation in manufacturing countries and the con- sequent scramble for elbow room and markets. To gain this elbow room and markets the pow- ers made vast increases of armament. Military rivalry developed. Industrialization made people dependent upon imports for food and raw ma- terials, Navies grew bigger-navies with which to safeguard these imports. Power politics played nation against nation, and war became inevitable. There can be no lasting peace in an economically unstable world, Our peace plans demand a strong assurance now-an as- surance that the ideals and objectives of the war include economic security for all nations. We need free international trade, regulated to prevent abuse. We need to abolish all special trade agreements among certain groups of na- tions. The web of favored-nation trade treaties caused jealousies and suspicions in 1918, and it will have the same effect again if it is not discarded. Imperialism, with its craving for colonies and territory, played a part of doubtful value in 'the Treaty of Versailles. Stripping the defeated nations after the war gave them a hidden de- termination to rise again. Germany had ac- quired colonies prior to 1914, but after the war all her colonies were taken away, and the size ll of the nation itself was reduced drastically, In addition to that, we demanded some thirty one billion dollars in reparations. Can a defeated nation pay such a price and continue to exist? A peace treaty should not be a dark cloud that hangs over the defeated nation's head, serving as an eternal symbol of revenge. One of the most dangerous stimulants toward war is militarism, We disarmed Germany in 1918 and let her have a standing army of only 100,000 men. But we made one fatal mistake. We allowed the old warrior caste to organize and command this army. Led on by the very worst traditions of militarism this army proved to be a weapon for Hitler and his National Socialists, who seized the power and plunged the world into the present chaos. We must not put full blame on the German, Italian, or Japanese people. The full blame rests on the leaders of those nations, and they must be made to realize the enormity of their acts. At the peace conference after this war, fear, hate, and revenge will certainly tend to distort our vision again, as they did in 1918. France has suffered two invasions during this genera- tion. She has' lived under the heels of the op- pressor and is sure to seek her revenge when the time comes. War has sunk its hates and fears deep into the hearts of people in almost every nation on earth. These hates and fears- must not be allowed to dominate, to distort and corrupt our plans for peace at the end of this war. When the young man of today goes into bat- tle we want him to fight with all his heart and soul. But we must give him something defi- nite to fight for, a plan to bring order out of chaos, a peace so constructed that it will serve as a light down the road to victory. Such a peace plan would strengthen our own morale and at the same time tend to weaken the mor- ale of our enemies. The German people will support Hitler so long as they live in fear that the peace will bring a worse revenge than did the treaty of 1918. But they will not be so enthusiastic about dying for the New Order if our peace plans offer them hopes of fair and humane treatment. To plan a pea-ce is indeed in itself an enor- mous task, to which all of us must give the utmost attention, especially those who occupy responsible government positions in Ameiica, as well as the people and officials of all the Uni- ted Nations. We must plan now for peace as well as for victory. We must fight now for peace as well as for victory, And we must win the peace as well as the war, Well planned and based on a granite foundation, our fu- tu1'e peace will be able to bear the brunt of any effort to demolish it. And the time will come again when the bells will toll and the preacher will say, Peace be with you, all of you. -PAUL LEMIN WHAT OF OUR CHILDREN Twenty-six years ago our fathers were grad- uating from high schools and colleges all over the nation. A large majority of them .loined the armed forces and fought in the first world Page Thirty war, Many of those men did not return. Some were left in Flanders' fields , others were re- turned home to be interred. Others- returned broken by the horrors- of war, to be taken care ll of by the American people until death. Some were minus a leg, some an arm. Others re- turned blind or mentally disabled. All who returned were confident that they had fought a war to end all wars. They were sure that their children would be free from the blood- shed and tears of war. They were happy to know that we would be free from the hell of war. Now, twenty-six years later, we are going to take up once more the torch of freedom. One question remains with us: What of our chil- dren? Will the children of those of us who do survive live in pea-ce after this war, or will they again march forth to even a greater hell than that which we are about to enter. But what can be done? many ask, lf the war mongers, the big bankers, the munitions makers keep 'egging' us on to war, what can we do? Our fathers asked similar questions. Do you recall when they shouted, Are we fight- ing to save Morgan's millions ? and Are we dying to save the interests of Wall Street ? Yes, again as in 1917 the scapegoats appear to be the fifty evil merchants of death, who, for their base prohts, compel the supposedly helpless people of the world to go to war, in the face of all popular will to the contrary. Ladies and gentlemen, this- war does not be- long to Wall Street, the bankers, the capitalists, or the vested bond holders, but to the people, the common man, you and me. This war is a result of the inefiiciency and lack of under- standing of the ordinary man in regard to his duties as a citizen and his franchise to vote, not only in our own country, but throughout the world. No effective policy of victory or of stable peace can be successfully pursued, whatever the particular plan, blueprint, or constitution, if the mass of the public are unconvinced, confused, and divided on the simplest and mos-t funda- mental principles of security, pecae and plenty. The present miseries of the world are not due to lack of book learning but to the lack of better understanding and common sense in re- gard to the control of public policy. The mer- chants of death cannot lead us' to war if such conditions are not allowed to develop as de- veloped after the last war. The kind of lead- ers that our government will have depends on John Q. Citizen and wife, because they are the important factors which control the political policy of a country. If the opinion of the common man makes no difference in affairs of the country and the world at large, why is it that such a dictator- ship as Germany, which scorns the very princi- ples of democracy, takes such infinite pains to ensure that the common man shall think as the government desires him to think? Germany has devised the most elaborate apparatus of propaganda that the world has ever counten- anced, in order to control the mind of the pub- lic. It begins in the nursery, so as to ensure proper conditioning of the mind during child- hood, it continues in the schoolg every word and every thought that reaches the young Ger- man, is what the government deems desirable. Every book, newspaper, film, every radio ad- dress and play, is shaped with a view to the formation of certain ideas. No German is al- ll lowed to read a paper or a book, or see a play or listen to a radio, that has not had the prop- er supervision, and unmerciless punishment, in- cluding death, may be meted out for violation of the rules. No government in history has ever, pe1'haps, devoted so much money, atten- tion, organization, and science to the problem of ensuring that the common man shall think as the leader wants him to. Why? Because Hitler knows, better than we seem to have known, that what the common ma11 thinks is the first and the last factor in politics, that if you can control what John Citizen thinks you can control what he does and what his nation does. For ideas are the found- ation of action. ln the spring of 1939 the panzer divisions of the third Reich marched into Czechoslovakia. Truckfull upon truckfull of troops rolled into the defenseless country, and the chilled onlook- ers cried heil Hitler as ominous shadows of giant guns loomed over them. Hitler was on the march. During the following year Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France--all fell under his bloody heel. One by one he picked them off like so many ducks on a pond. The whole secret of his success lay in the fact that he know how to utilize the feelings' of the common man, because the individual popular sentiment of nationalism was the one outstanding reason for the divisions which made Hitler's conquest so easy. If the conquered nations- had refused to be divided and had fought as a unit, he could not have accomplished what he did. Hitler's pattern of conquest, Divide and conquer, worked per- fectly, Then on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into the war, The common man in America became angry, determined, and through his efforts the factories began to double their output, and the shipyards and steel mills- began to work around the clock with renewed efforts. Soon came Gaudal-canal and the brilliant raid on Tokyo. All were direct efforts of John Q. Citizen, not the Wall Street bond holder, the banker, or the evil merchants of death. This war will not make the world safe for our children any more than the last one did, unless we all do what none of us-, as nations, did adequately after the last war, and that is to hold together in defending the right of each to national life, economic self-sufficiency, and security against agression from the outside. We are reminded that the sacrifice by those that died in the last war was rendered vain to the extent that their children have to travel the same dreadful road gain. That has become necessary because the civilians, John Q, Citi- zen and wife, did not do their part. The peo- ple of the United States were offered, at the conclusion of the last war, the realization Of a great vis-ion. They were offered the oppor- tunity of sharing in the assumption of re- sponsibility for the maintenance of peace in the world by participating in an international organization designed to prevent and to quell the outbreak of war, They rejected it because of the human tendency to relapse into what was once termed normalcy, to let well enough alone. They rejected it because of partisan poli- Page Thirty-One All tics-. They rejected it because of the false propaganda that by our participation in a world order we would incur the danger of war rather than avoid it. They rejected it because of un- enlightcned selfishness. This not only applies to our country, but to the countries of Eur- ope as well. With the prevention of war as our ultimate goal, we should, after a victorious- conclusion of the present turmoil has been reached, take it upon ourselves to direct our thoughts and our ideas toward the betterment of the policies of the government, to the extent that we will ll! unite to ensure freedom from fear to peace- loving people. For the key to the lock of un- ion which holds fast the door leading to the prevention of war, lies- in the education of our- selves, We, the common people, must inform ourselves and use that education in regard to the political policies of ou1' count1'y and the world. Only when we do this and, as a result, make an intelligent use of the ballot, s-hall our generation and those yet to come be f1'ee from that ever impending question, What of our children ? -DOUGLAS ERICKSON VALEDICTORY WHEN THE WAR IS WON The United Nations are winning the victory. The diplomats a1'e already planning the peace, while the men with vision are discussing the problems of the postwar world. Tonight is not too soon for us' to consider the aftermath of war in America. In the Atlantic Charter, in our P'resident's four freedoms, in the Churchill-Roosevelt conferences, hope was given to the nations of the ea1'th and a promise that all countries would enjoy the blessings of free men after the war. All eyes look toward America to redeem her word. But it is inconceivable that we can play Atlas to the world until we plant our feet firm- ly on the ground and shoulder our own bur- dens, Our first task is to Find a permament way to full employment. What will be the situation in manpower when the war ends? A recent Co- lumbia University report estimates 15,000,000 Americans will have to be transferred to peace time jobs, and this force will grow as men are demobilized from war services. Add to this number 30,000,000 already working in consumer goods industries, and we have more than 45,- 000,000 workers to keep busy. Replacing shortages caused by the war would help for awhile, but after that are we to expect whole- sale unemployment? We can revert to the dole or work relief, but that would mean we had won the Wa1', and lost the peace. Remem- ber, Hitler seized the government in Germany when unemployment reached one man out of every three, People do not want to be charity casesg they want to be doing something vital- ly useful, to belong to the community. In total war we achieve that feeling. We are now us- ing all the resoures of the nation to win a victory. After the war is won, we should use our entire productive power to supply the needs of the people of the nation. By the very act of producing these things' we furnish work for the whole population and money with which to buy what is being produced, We should ap- proach the unemployment as E. H. Carr, the British writer, suggests by way of the crea- tion of needs vast enough to make a full call on our resources, and morally imperative enough to command the necessary measure of sacrifice to supply them. Now let us see what the people are clamor- ing for. Freedom from want is first on their list. Did you know that before Pearl Harbor Page Thirty-Two more than one-third of us' were seriously mal- nourished, and Paul McNutt estimates seventy- iive per cent of all Americans need better diets? Milo Perkins, inventor of the Food Stamp Plan, stated that in 1939 about 20,000,000 Americans were living on an average of five cents worth of food per meal, while a boy in the armed forces received fifteen cents worth. Most peo- ple have not realized that hidden hunger is so prevalent in the United States. WVe must educate the public to include in their diet the forty chemical elements the body requires. We must provide the underprivileged with buying power. We must shift the crop pattern from wheat and cereal to more dairy products and vegetables, This is our food problem. Another demand of the people's platform is adequate shelter. Census figures indicate al- most one-half of-all American homes need ma- jor repairs or had no bath in 19401 Only thir- ty-one per cent enjoyed electric current. In farm areas alone 2,000,000 houses were pro- nounced unfit to live in. The average value of farm dwellings in five southern states is less than 25500. To correct this sad condition will require the building of one to two million dwel- lings every year for at least ten years after the war's end. Here is the biggest single demand upon manpower of any project on the horizon -the job of building everybody a decent place in which to live. A supply of fuel, a standard minimum for clothing, and an expanded education budget are less controversial features in a program of so- cial minimums' such as we have outlined. Am- erica can easily use her manpower and re- sources to satisfy the majority of her citizens who, in a recent Fortune poll, expressed faith in a better life after the war. Even if we make the consumer the center of our economy, for some years' after the war private enterprise will not be able to attain the goal of full employment, To provide work for everyone it will be necessary to carry on extensive programs of public works, which are always neglected in time of war. Building is an integral part of the state. Who has not heard of the pyramids- of Egypt, the temples of Greece, the aqueducts and baths of Rome, and the castles of the Middle Ages? Peoples of all times have undertaken such projects for the glorification of their gods, their nation, or their monarch. If we erect no splendid memorials-, tl we can build houses for the masses and school plants for the children. We can redesign our cities according to the tested blueprints' of Eliel Saarinen, the Finnish architect, to meet the requirements of the power age. We can de- velop watersheds and practice conservation by a series of T. V. A.'s. VVe can modernize our transportation system, All these projects re- quire labor, all are in the interest of commun- ity welfare, all will be a lasting monument for the ages. In his annual message to Congress this year President Roosevelt recognized that Americans also want assurance against the evils of all major economic hazards-assurance that will ex- tend from the cradle to the grave. Such pro- tection safeguards against tragedies like unem- ployment, accident, illness, and old age. Last December Sir William Beveridge, the British author, was catapulted to world-wide fame for his proposal of social security for every per- son in Britain. In a democratic way his plan would accomplish for England what other coun- dictatorship at the expense of many personal liberties. Our President, too, is interested in the security of the individual, for he has re- cently sent to Congress a report of the Nation- al Resources Planning Board which embodies his own social program. It is, in effect, an ex- tension of the Social Security Act within the democratic framework. Our great government certainly can and must provide a defense against those social hazards which in the past have brought misery to- untold numbers of American families. Full employment, national minimums, and so- cial security-these are the goals for America when the War ends. Our people are concerned about the future, not the past, They are seek- ing a better world in which to live. If the democratic system of free enterprise fails them. they will certainly fall prey to reformers and demagogues. There is little time left for sound. realistic planning. We must begin now-while the war is' being won-to provide the mass of people everywhere with jobs, security, and hope. tries have been able to achieve only through -ESTHER ERKKILA 1 THE CLASS SONG fTune: Dearly Beloved J Though We are leaving Our dear beacon light, VVe will be loyal To our own Blue and White.

The basic idea of the Student Council is to obtain greater cooperation between faculty and pupils in directing the school, and coordinating its activities, so that the purposes- of education may be more effectively realized. The group meets on the first Wednesday of every month. In this organization the students are able to express their ideas and opinions about the school and its activities. One of its chief projects this year was the compiling of a directory of the graduates of the lshpeming High School, who are now serv- ing in our Nation's armed forces. In addi- tion to this, it appointed a Safety Committee, and sponsored during the year, the local de- clamatory, oratorical, extemporaneous, and dramatic declamatory contest. The Council also decided to sponsor a class in Morse Codc. This was attended by quite a large number of stu- dents. Gray, Paul Turino, Paul Lemin, Walter Hansen, Mr. With the support and cooperation of the stu- dent body, the following Lyceum programs were given: October 6-Mrs. Carveth Wells-Lecture and pictures of wildlife. October 26-Howard Cleaves--Lecture and pictures on wildlife, November 9-Table Tennis. December 14-Commander Fallon. January 15-Jessie Ray Taylor-Impersona- tions. February 22-Getta Sereny-Lecture on Eur- ope. May 17-Ladies of Song. Page Forty-Four OFFICERS Herschel Malmstrom .............. .., ...,...... President George Peterson ,..,... .,,....

The Mattson Hi-Y Club of the Ishpeming High School meets regularly every Wednesday evening. Quite often they take part in special occasions such as the Hi-Y Girls' Party, show- ing of motion pictures, and talks by the Club's State Representatives. The four regular meet- ings each month are divided into two business meetings, one recreational meeting, and one supper, Now, because of food rationing, the supper has had to be discontinued and another recreational meeting substituted for it. Dur- ing the school football and basketball seasons, those boys not on the teams or in the band assist in selling candy and ice cream bars, the .,,,,,John Magnuson ...,.....William Flaa ...,,.Kenneth Olson chief source of income of the club. The Hi-Y also provides ushers for all programs presented in the school auditorium. The seniors act in this capacity, with the other members assisting, of course. Each year at Christmas those mem- bers possessing automobiles aid the Salvation Army in the distribution of food to the needy. Another annual activity of the club is the pre- sentation of a gift or gifts to the school. This year the club also undertook to write a daily postcard to its former advisor Mr. Ahti Mack- ela who is now in the Chemical Warfare Di- vision of the Nation's armed forces.

Under the capable guidance of Miss Eklund and Miss Dunn of the school faculty, the Com- mercial Club this year was able to further to a considerable degree its purpose of acquaint- ing its members with the 'various phases of business procedure.

Two movies were shown. One dealt with salesmanship, the other with telephone tcehnique. The Army That Doesn't Wear a Uniform proved an in- teresting play as did the radio scripts, ls Typ- ing Necessary? and The Girl and Her Shad- ow, The highlight of the year's work was an excursion to the offices of Cohodas B1'othe1'S, where members were able to familiarize them- selves with teletype machines, Western Union devices, and other modern business aids. 0fpS BTU C6 'Qi The T6 GHC?

This year marked the sixth anniversary of the Forum, and by this time the members of the club as well as the rest of the student body realize, and are proud of, its accomplishments. The Forum has brought forth our best or- ators, declaimers, dramatic readers, and extem- pore speakers, along with our prize-winning de- bate squad. During the regular meetings this year there were various types of speech activities. These consisted of plays, poetry, skits, and impromptu talks. Such types of speech give the members experience for expressing themselves at any af- fair, ranging from a very informal dinner party to the most formal oratorical occasion. The club, each year, holds preliminary con- tests in declamation, oratory, dramatic reading, and extempore speaking, from which represent- Page Fifty-Two atives of each type are selected for the local contests held before the student body. This year the club's annual play, which is also given for the student body, was entitled Song of the Nightingale. It was Written and directed by Mr, Renz. At the group meetings held in the English rooms every second week, problems in speech were studied and practiced. This type of work also helps to overcome difliculties encountered in daily conversation. OFFICERS President ........., .............,,,....., A William Medlyn Vice-President ..,,..

Of the five there was one Senior, Betty Daweg three Juniors, Phyllis Anderson, William Nault, and Marshall Williams-g and one Sophomore, Walter Hansen. First place was awarded to Betty Dawe, whose topic was The Problem of Secur- ing :B109,000,000. Second place was won by William Nault. Betty Dawe automatically won first place at the district meet because she was the only contestant entered. At the regional meet in Gladstone she again placed first. The extempore speakers were coached by Miss Renne. Page Fifty-Three Inter-Plane Communications D E B A ROW 1 Qleft to right?-Walter Hansen, Betty Dawc. Roger Johnson. Edward Sandell.

Following the procedure instituted last year, the season consisted of a series of two elimin- ation tournaments of four debates each and a final tournament, in which the Eastern and Western divisions of the Upper Peninsula met to determine the championship. This last tour- nament, also of four debates, was held at the Northern Michigan College of E'ducation at Marquette. In the first tournament, held at Is-hpemingz under the guidance of Miss Renne, coach, and Mr, Peterson, tournament chairman, Ishpeming emerged with honors even, two wins and two losses. Of interest was the fact that all nega- tive teams emerged victorious. In addition, to the scheduled debates, a number of non-decision debates were held, in which Ishpeming was ably represented by members of the second team.

Page Fifty-Five MY FIRST EXAM Ever since I entered the seventh grade, I had heard of the terrible examinations which were given at the end of the first and second sem- esters. It's true we had had some hard tests before, but in discussing the exams with my eighth grade superiors, I heard many tales of woe and disgust. Thinking that my friends were trying to scare me, a greenhorn, I thought nothing of the exams and these stories. But as more of these stories- drifting through the school caught my ear, I began to wonder if they were a pushover. Upon returning to school after the holidays, I was still more frightened as the stories be- came more terrifying. Then I decided that I ought to study in order to maintain my good marks. Finally as the last week of preparation drew nigh, it seemed that every time I thought of the great ordeal confronting me, I had a sensation of chills running up and down my back, All too quickly the seven days passed. Too soon the fateful day arrived. As I trudged to school, I tried to talk jovially about subjects not concerning the day's' work. As we waited for the bell announcing it was time to pass to the iirst period class and my first test, my heart beat increased so that it could be felt in my head and body. Thump! Thump! Thump! Beads of persplration stood out on my forehead. I began to feel warm and uncomfortable. Then r-r-ring! We shufiied out of our home room, up the stairs, and to that dreaded room. With fingers crossed, we sat down at our desks, and sorted out our papers. Pencils began wiggling, and once in awhile an oh or an ah drifted about the room and someone ran his fingers through his hair. It seemed that those forty-five minutes would last untfl eternity, but as the hands' of the clock kept moving, the bell finally resounded through the building and seemed to say, You may breathe more easily now. I finished that week without a breakdown, and the following week- end was the best I had ever had up to that time. -OGDEN JOHNSON. Freshman NO ONE HOME One night when returning home at a rather advanced hour, I discovered that the back door was open. Immediately the thought of ma- rauders entered my mind. Cautiously I crept into the kitchen and carefully turned on the light. There was no one there although the kitchen was in a mess. Next.-the dining room ---no one there! Before entering the living room, I stood and listened. Was that the stairs groaning beneath the weight of a man? Gathering my courage in a nutshell, I blitzed through the living room to the light switch. Snap!! My fears were groundless. No one was there, After a short interval I had sum- moned enough bravery to go upstairs, but I re- fused to go to the basement. When my broth- cr arrived home, I sent him downstairs to get some oranges, as I had to know if anyone was there. Right then I decided that after this when no one is home, I'll go for a walk until someone returns. -HELEN SUNDBLAD. Freshman OVERHEARD IN STUDY HALL J. O.: What is a dogma ? M. T.: I guess that's a dog's mother. Page Fifty-Six DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED A snipe hunt? Why, sure, I would be glad to go. What? You'll give fifteen cents for every snfpecaught? Why! Is this a gag? Oh, you want us to have snipe pie, that's different. Do we need a gun? What! Just a pillow case and a flashlight. What are we going to do? Shoot them with a light? Oh, I see you are going to circle around in back and make a lot of noise. 'You say the snipe will hear us and run toward us. As they will be attracted by our lights, the snipe will run into our bags, and all we have to do is club them to death. ' Come on! Let's hurry and get going! Ah! We're starting now. There's the woods, Now line up a little distance apart at the edge of the woods. All right, I'm all set. How long? Oh, in ten minutes you will start to make noise, and I am to switch on my light when I hear the noise, Ah, they're starting now so it won't bc long until I hear the tinkle of silver in my pockets. Did you really see one, but didn't get it? 'Ihat's too bad. I thought I heard one, but I'm not sure. Oh, they've stopped. I hope that's not all. What? It's not! Ole, boy! Maybe we will get some this time. Ouch! What was that? Oh, a mosquito. Well, I'll fix him. Oh! myself instead, Oh! Oh, I missed and hit There's another one. I hope they hurry and start again, as I am get- ting' eaten alive, I'll go crazy if this keeps up much longer. I'd go back if it wasn't for get- iing fifteen cents for each bird. What's that? Someone calling us back. What is this? Oh, all a gag! Well, I don't think much of it. Look at me practically eaten alive, Well, it was all in fun. -PETER GRAY. Freshman HUNTING AS A HOBBY My hobby is hunting. Although one would th'nk this is a hobby which can be enjoyed on- ly in the fall, that is the wrong idea, for in the summer the dogs must be trained and kept in condition. On the opening day of rabbit season you rise with the sun and eat a hearty breakfast. Soon your friends arrive, and you climb into an old car whose content is a tangled mass of hunters, guns and noisy, excited hounds. After a long drive along all types of roads you arrive at a serene-looking swamp. But soon the stillness is broken by the heavy bay- ing of the hounds. The bunny runs away from you, but in a short time heads back. As the rabbits get closer, you excitedly await your first shot of the season. You strain your eyes for a glimpse of the rabbit. Suddenly a flash of brown dashes out of the bushes and the roar of your shotgun makes the hounds' baying in- audible. Br'er rabbit most likely keeps on go- ing, but on the next time around you regain your confidence and knock over a long-legged ghost of the cedar-swamp. After a day like this, one must admit that hunting is an enjoyable, healthy, and profitable sport that becomes more enjoyable as the years go by. -GORDON GILL, Freshman When Ulysses was feigning derangement, In hope of a better arrangement He'd plow by the shore And his surroundings ignore.

Public. However, I am inclined to differ with this defi- nition somewhat, By reading further you will be able to see why my opinion is slightly swayed. There are many types of stores: Grocery stores, with their long line of shelves all packed neatly to the top with staple goods of all types, shoe stores, with many customers eyeing up the rationed footwear, hardware stores with their tons of iron and steel converted into practical utensils-no satire intendedg and last of all, the nemesis of all evil, the clothing store. Daily, into the thousands of stores in the Uni- ted States, millions of people flock to purchase their immediate needs, and it is with these peo- ple that we are primarily concerned. Who are these millions of people? They are you and I. They are: The good housewife, Mrs. Rip Van Winkleg the farmer's wife, Mrs. John White Browng the aristocrat's wife, Mrs. Andrew Pub-- lic Library Readitg and even Mrs. Wanda Learn, the renowned teacher in some high school in our vast United States--no hasty conclusions please. I consider working in a store one of the most difficult things in the world to do, I don't mean from the physical, labor viewpoint, but from the trying incidents during which the clerk must keep a straight face. Not difficult? Try it sometime, and if it is true that laughing makes you fat, you'll certainly attain an astounding bulk. Into the store walks a short, stocky man. In a jerky, gutteral tone of voice he asks for a pair of shoes. His voice is the most unbeliev- able sounding thing you can imagine. To laugh would be disastrous from various points of view. Out comes your handkerchief, and your rum- bles of laughter are cushioned by the crumbled cloth. Trying? You certainly must agree. 'flt was slippery today, wasn't it ? I asked Mrs. Jones. Yes, it was nice today, she an- swered. Answers like that are commonplace in the store. Solution to this? Laugh and hope that the bystander thinks you are laughing at the pun Bob Hope pulled in last night's movie. Last, but certainly not least, is our most unwanted guest, the sly, wily shoplifter. He steals either because he needs to or because he likes to steal. To me, the height of intes- tinal fortitude is when a shoplifter lifts an ar- ticle and the next day when the doors are opened, he is requesting a refund as it doesn't fit or isn't just what he wanted. In one store even a vacuum cleaner was stolen. The shop- lifter eliminates no one from his list of vic- tims, nor does he omit any article from his long and lengthy document. Perhaps by now you can sit down with pen and paper and write out my definition for a store, spelled S-t-o-r-e. -WILLIAM NAULT, Junior Pls Sk HF is WHEN I NEED A HAIRCUT Along about the middle of the nineteenth century some soul decided that man should be made still more different from woman-he should have his hair cut. The first practitioners of thc tonsorial art used bowls and scissors, as thc more homey ones do now, but the tonsorial art- ist of today-that is a story in itself. Say I need a haircut-that happens about every three or four weeks. For several days I am reminded to go to the barber, but I keep forgetting or putting it oft' until things look really bad on top, and I do wind up at the bar- ber shop. No barber! Oh, Wednesday-Baia Page Fifty-Seven ber's Day Off says- the sign on the door, Mak- ing a special effort I arrive again on Saturday morning only to find about eight people ahead of me. I sit down and begin to wait, reading the thrilling Barber's Journal with its accounts of close shaves. At last I am next in line at about twelve o'clock. I realize now that there is only one barber at this establishment, and he has to eat. Could it happen? Yes, the barber tells me to come back in an hour, for he has to go home and eat. In the afternoon I do manage to attain the long desired seat. The barber begins by shak- ing a large white cloth full of hair over me, and then he places it on me as a covering. Then with a noisy clipper he begins- to cut-or rather pull my hair out. He uses the clipper around the bottom of the hairline, while on top he uses a scissors and a comb. The barber snips with the scissors incessantly, For every one cut he snips ten times. It is enough to drive one mad. During this period I smell the odor of chewing tobacco. In the next step I realize that the barber is very clean, as he takes a brush, turns- out my .collar and brushes all the hair down my neck and back, instead of on the floor. Now the final operations are approach- ing, for he sp1'inkles on some odorous prepara- tion and begins to rub my scalp most indus- triously-almost dislocating my neck. Then last of all he combs and brushes my hair into place, takes off the white cloth and smilingly holds out his hand for the fifty cents, Regret- fully I pay it and walk out of the shop feeling as if I had the seven year itch, and with just one happy thought in mind-at least I do not have to be shaved by him. -CHARLES ALLEN, Junior WAITING Jim, I miss you so! My heart is like an emp- ty room, each corner Hlled with thoughts and memories of you. When I'm being pushed by a milling crowd, it's my body being jarred, not my mind or soul. In my mind I have but one aspiration and that is to see your dearly be- loved face. I can picture vividly your dancing brown eyes daring me to take a chance on life, love, and happiness. I can see your express-ive lips, a smile rippling on their surface. At the station, I was complimenting myself on having excellent control over my emotions, but the con- ductor's All aboard ! was like the thrust of a dagger to my love-filled heart. Yes, I smiled when I waved goodbye, but inside me my emo- tions were tearinj me apart. I went back to my room a body without a heart because my heart was bound for a training camp, then some foreign soil, so as to keep America free, I do want to live in a free America! I want to live in an America where loneliness is never men- tioned or felt! Please, Jim, come home soon, and bring my heart back from Somewhere in Australia ? -SIHRLEY GIRARD, senior Page Fifty-Eight MISSING It was ten-thirty on a s-ultry summer night in Randall, Georgia, Mr. Kornblom was sway- ing to and fro on his porch swing. The Hitting of the moths about the porch light seemed to harmonize with the jerky whirring of the weath- er vane upon the porch roof. Martha had re- tired and Mr. Kornblom was thinking. It seemed all there was to do nowadays, think and won- der-about Jack-just think and wonder. A persistent ringing disturbed his distant thoughts. Was that the telephone? Yes, it was. He was sure this- time. Hello, yes. For a long while there was silence and then the hol- low clank of a receiver, No! Not Jack, our little boy. Thoughts and images, talking, laugh- ing, crying-all of Jack-raised havoc with his mind. For a long while he stood, motionless, trying to believe it was not so, pitifully wishing at times that there never had been a Jack. But there was, and Ben had just called from the telegraph ofiice to say that Jack was officially reported missing in action overseas. Missing in action-that meant missing and missed forever. Now-to tell Martha. -DOROTHY ANDERSON, senior EPISODE OF' A REFUGEE When Etienne reached the border with the other French refugees, he was exhausted. The men had decided to camp near Triste for the night, and so Etienne had a chance to rest his weary body and a chance to think-yes, think fearfully of the tragic happenings of the past week, For the last two days he had worked hard, and tried not to let his mind wander back. But now with a bright moon shining he couldn't help it. That night had been just like this -- clear, with a million stars blinking at him as he knelt by the window to say his prayers, And God bless maman and papa-What was that rum- bling sound? Maman! Maman! Look at the funny shadows on the moon !-Why do you look at me so queerly maman? What is wrong ? Crash! Boom! The city burst into flame, and the sky was blood-red with light. Etienne hurried into the street with his mother and father and was swallowed up by the s-warming hysterical crowds, Maman! he screamed, but his only answer was a whining bomb and an hysterical shriek. As his throat became choked up at the mem- ory of his terror-stricken flight for safety, a moist nose was thrust into his hand. Etienne stifled a sob and buried his face in the dog's fur, Dear, faithful Bijou! We're the only ones left now, but as long as we've got each other we'll manage somehow. The child's eyes closed and he dropped into a troubled sleep. - -MARJORIE LOFARO, Senior . - .- ..nr,.Qg.1. .snug ....L. ..s....... 7,1-:za ii g iffgf ' ' 2 Am 5 FDRCE X' k 1, A U 'Q FA 1 U 5 5 4 E4 M 7 .Il-6' lf, A .

The students belonging to these organizations, have put forth their sincerest efforts to uphold the reputation of the groups. The Glee Clubs, through their hard work, have contributed much to instil an appreciation of music in their lis- teners. The Girls' Chorus lj composed mostly of un- derclassmen and does not appear in concert. The purpose of the Girls, Chorus is to strength- en the musical ability of the girls, so that they may be selected to sing with the Girls' Glee Club. The Girls' Glee Club's accomplishments are of the highest caliber, and their interpret- ation of the numbers, both heavy and light, de- serves much praise. This group, besides' appear- ing at the annual Chr'stmas Program and Spring Concert, also sings at the Armistice Day Pro- gram and at speech contests. Outstanding work was done on such numbers as the British Chil- dren's Prayer by Wolfe, Alleluia by Mozart, Nocturne by Charles, Prelude from Cycle of Life by Ronald, and One Kiss from the New Moon by Romberg. June Thompson has been the chief soprano soloist. The Boys' Glee Club made its appearance at the school's oratorical contest. At that time it sang Dance My Comradesn by Bennett, and Sing Me A Chanty by O'Keefe and Wellesley. Both of these numbers were well received by the audience. The Glee Clubs are under the direction of Miss Helen Bentley, a faithful and accomplished leader. Distinction was added to the perform- ances by the accompanist, Miss Sue Irwin. The Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus, consisting of 151 stu- dents, has met four times a week, and its mem- bers- have sincerely tried, not merely to mem- orize the'r songs, but to feel them and inter- pret them as their director indicates. Audi- ences invariably comment on the depth of feel- ing this group combines with its polished tech- nique. The Mixed Chorus made its first appearance The number at the Armistice Day Program. selected was the Recessional by De Koven. At the Christmas Program the chorus sang the following numbers: And the Glory of the Lord, Glory to God, O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings To Zion, and the Hallelujah Chorus, all from The Messiah by Handel. On April 20 the Mixed Chorus presented the Lenten Cantata The Triumph of the Cross by Matthews. The work of the chorus groups and soloists was outstanding. The chorus sang three numbers at the Spring Music Festival, The first number, To the Spirit of Music, was written by Stephensg the second, Come Along and Dance, by Penning- ton, and the third, which stirred the audience deeply, was This Is Worth Fighting For. At the Baccalaureate se1'vice the Mixed Chorus sang O, Savior of the World from The Triumph of the Cross by Matthews. Unusual credit is due Miss Bentley, our di- rector, for the development of this group. Miss Sue Irwin has proved a most able and valued accompanist. Page Six ly-Five Band At the beginning of the year the high school band was quickly reorganized by Director George Pixley in order to be ready for anything that might come up. They appeared in full uniform at every home game of this year's football season and delivered outstanding performances. At half time, the band would entertain with a colorful program of drills, consisting of the formation of I. H. S., the opposing team's school letters, and other spectacular maneuvers such as Indian teepees and shields. During the basketball season, the band ap- peared at every home game, playing our school song, and the school song of the visiting team as well as a large number of invigorating marches. At many games the music was fea- tured by a new concert march to add variety to the program. The colorful entrances made by the band at each game drew much favorable comment. The band also appeared at the spring festi- val. In full uniform, they made a colorful pic- ture under the brilliant stage lights, During the year, the band covered many types of music. The march, Liberty Fleet was a favorite at football games. The patriotic selection, This Is Worth Fighting For was introduced at a basketball game. Red Mill, an overture, was played at the festival, as well as June Caprice which required solo work. Another number played at the fes-tival which proved interesting was Royal Decree, a cir- cus march. Two fine ensembles were organized during the year. One of these, the senior brass quar- tette, played not only at assemblies, but at many programs around the town. The other, a fresh- man clarinet quartette, entertained at speech contests. The band's final appearance was in the Mem- orial Day parade. Being seasoned, after a year of rehearsal, they made an excellent showing. . Orchestra The orchestra, having more than a liberal sprinkling of new talent, was given intensive training by Director George Pixley. It made its iirst public appearance at the annual Christ- mas program in the auditorium. Its efforts were well received by an appreciative audience, A larger reed section was used in the orches- tra this year. Also at concert time the orches- tra was augmented by a group of seniors who were unable to attend daily rehearsals. For the senior class play, Director Pixley se- lected an ensemble of about thirty, to provide incidental music between acts. The group was novel because of the fact that no brass was used. This ensemble was enthusiastically accepted, es- pecially after their rendition of the Indian Love Call. Page Sixty-Six -H 1 II , The orchestra made its final public appear- ances at the May music festival and the Honor Award Assembly. The orchestra covered a large and varied amount of music this year. At the Christmas program Tschaikowsky's Thornrose Waltz was the most interesting number from the standpoint of the technique needed to play it. Also includ- ed in their program were Schubert's Marche Militaire, Ballet Music from Rosamunde, the ever popular Merry Widow selection, and a modern overture, Let Freedom Ring. At the spring festival, an orchestration of the pop- ular Army Air Corps was played, More con- cert-like was the selection My Maryland by Sigmund Romberg, as well as Knightsbridge March from the London Suite by Eric Coates. vu N NN XX -uh-KSEQYS W H 'VFW A ALL nl K Q f X I K gf ,Q -441 ,L , 5 'f ' HH W afs, f '4 ,sa 5: - W, YE.

Page Sixty-Eight ISHPEMING--6 IRON MOUNTAIN-19 The opening game of the season cast a shad- ow on our football prospects as our boys were defeated by a strong Iron Mountain eleven on our home tleld. The Mountaineers unraveled a sparkling passing attack in the closing stages of the game that netted a hard--earned victory for the visitors. It was the Hrst time in a number of years that the two schools had met for an athletic contest. ISHPEMING--13 SAULT--7 The long ride to the Sault must have been a good rest for the Hcmatites for they handed the Sault Blue Devils a sound 13-7 licking on their own ground. The game was played on a wet, slippery field, However, the Is-hpeming lads had enough class and speed to return home victorious over a favored opponent. ISHPEMING-12 MARQUETTE-0 The Blue and White must have been delight- ed at the thought of playing on the Redmen's new gridiron, for they showed the Marquette clan the finer points of the game by taking a comparatively easy 12-0 win. Marra and Wiini- kainen each made a tally, ISHPEMING-40 NEGAUNEE-0 The boys- had a Held day when the Negaunee Miners came to town. Leading 20-0 at the end of the lirst quarter, the boys began to spare the gas and tires for next week's encounter with Calumet. The thrill of the game came with Grigg's 46 yard touchdown spurt. ISHPEMING-6 CALUMET-26 With Joltin' Joe Sossi of Calumet romping up and down the field, the Hematites' were hand- ed their second defeat of the season by the perennially strong Copper Country crew. The weather was clear and warm and many of the players suffered from the heat. However, the temperature didn't stop Sossi from making the most spectacular run of the game by returning an Ishpeming kick-off for? 521 tbuchdown. W i ,., ns, ISHPEMING--6 GLADSTONE'--7 The Bay-Towners came here all rarin ' to go but were stopped cold in their tracks, They did manage to edge out a 7-6 victory however. The fans surged from'-their seats as one of our boys just missed a spine-tingling pass in touch- down territory in the closing minutes of the game. Gladstone then stiffened and Ishpeming's hopes 'of victory faded. Wiinikainen made our only score. f Thus ended a comparatively successful sea- son for our football team. The team ended up in the .500 class by winning three and losing three, but the total point column records a dif- ferent story than the won and lost column. Throughout the season our boys scored 83 points while allowing the opponents to cross the goal line for only 59 points. The following players were awarded football letters for the 1942 season: Douglas' Erickson, Stanley Wiinikainen, Anthony Marra, Howard Grigg, Kenneth Exberg, Henry Isabelle, John Magnuson, Michael Tasson, Anthony Gagliardi, Paul Lemin, Aristide Gallizioli, William Gray, Burton Forsberg, Charles Mayrand, Gustie Alan- ko, and James' Willey. It might also be well to mention that several of our boys were selected for Upper Peninsula and All-State honors, The highest honor was given to Gray, captain and center on this year's varsity. He was selected as center on the Up- per Peninsula All-Star first team. Page Sixty-Nine 1942 Bombardiers 1943 HOW' 1 llvft to right!--Richard Bergrman, Anthony Marra, Stanley Wiinikainen.

Page Seventy ISHPEMING-19 STAMBAUGH-21 After leading through most of the game, the Hematites were defeated by a fourth quarter rally that netted ten points and also a hard- earned triumph for Stambaugh. Gagliardi was high point man with four field goals and three free throws. ISHPEMING-28 NEGAUNEE-25 With two minutes' to go the score stood 23- all, when Gagliardi, elongated Ishpeming cen- ter, connected twice within 15 seconds for two of the fastest baskets of the night, each rolling over the rim to drop in. This was the fastest game and most evenly waged battle staged on our court in many moons. ISHPEMING--37 MUNISING-45 After taking an eleven-point lead in the open- ing period, Munising was never headed, although the Hematites came back strong in the later stages of the game. Ishpeming's combination of Gray, at center. and Marra, at guard, net- ted Z5 points, Gray sinking 14 and Marra 11 points. ISI-IPEMING-29 ESCANABA-44 After playing on even terms for three per- iods, the Hematites were overcome by their fourth period jinx and went down to defeat at the hands of a strong Escanaba five. ISHPEMING-37 NEGAUNEE-43 Playing a wide-open affair on Negaunee's diminutive court Ishpeming was again defeated. In this game, Erkilla, Negaunee's sharpshooting center helped to even the count for a previous setback by scoring 19 points, Wiinikainen was Ishpeming's big gun, scoring 15 points. ISHPEMING-26 MARQUETTE-23 Paced by Stanley Wiinikainen, the Hematites won a 26 to 23 decision from the Graveraet High School Cage Team, in a closely-fought battle on the Sidney Adams Court. Ishpeming took an early lead, and except for a brief flurry on the part of the Red and White at the start of the second half, held it throughout. ISHPEMING-22 SOO-24 With one final second remaining, there was a held ball. On the tip-off LeJoice leaped into the air to grab it, and in almost the same mo- tion hoisted it toward the netting to see it drop in with the timer's gong still echoing through the gymnasium. Ishpeming's scoring was even- ly divided among the five regulars. ISHPEMING-25 ESCANABA-22 Checking the opposition's desperate, last-per- iod rally, Ishpeming's basketball quintet record- ed the season's biggest upset by defeating Es- canaba. The small crowd nearly had hysterics in the second period when, for four uninterrupt- ed minutes, Escanaba controlled the ball under our basket. Oddly enough, the Deltans' failed to make a point in that period. ISHPEMING-22 GLADSTONE-20 An overhead s-hot by center Wiinikainen in the closing seconds of play brought the Hema- -nnr a-e-- tites a 22 to 20 victory over Gladstone in an overtime contest, The game started with a 1'ush whereby Ishpeming made half of its total in the first period. ISHPEMING-16 MARQUETTE-25 After downing two formidable opponents-, the Hematites sufferel a humiliating defeat at the hands of a hitherto, non-victorious Redmen Clan from Marquette. The defeat evened the count with Marquette for the year's play. ISHPEM -24 SOO-36 The 1.. 'tes then traveled to the Soo and ware detea in a fast clean game. Besides suffering a defeat the boys were held up on the return trip by a severe snowstorm. ISHPEMING--18 NEGAUNEE-36 Our team fought val'antly but the Miners set a pace that was too fast for the Hematites. Ne- gaunee coasted home with a feather in its cap after copying a hard, fast, and clean victory from our team. Ishpeming still had one more chance to even the score, however, since a war- time schedule found Negaunee in four slots on Ishpeming's slate. ISHPEMING-28 NEGAUNEE-35 The following week the Hematites again met Negaunee on the latter's fioor. Our team held the Miners at bay until the waning minutes, when the opponents' started hitting the hoop with monotonous regularity. The result of this was to send them into a comfortable lead which carried them to victory. ISHPEMING-28 NEWBERRY-42 The team next journeyed to Coach Joe De Cook's camp at Newberry, Newberry was not- ed for defeating Class B teams and our team proved to be no exception. This game marked the end of the regular season. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT ISHPEMING-25 S00-21 The Hematites were in high gear the night they played their first tournament game. The team played to perfection in downing the Soo, a team which had beaten us twice during the regular season. Soo's starting forward line failed to score a basket during the entire game. ISHPEMING-29 NEWBERRY-35 The second night of the tournament found us against Newberry, the team which had only a week before drubbed us so mercilessly. In the early stages of the game it looked like a sure victory for us. Even at the half the score was 18-18, but as the team ran out of points, Newberry buckled down and ruined our hopes of ever being the area basketball champs for 1942-43. Letters were awarded to the following: An- thony Marra, Captaing William Gray, Paul Le- min, Douglas Erickson, Keith LeClair, Stanley Wiinikainen, Gustie Alanko, Richard Bergman and Clarence Ayotte. The first four are seniors leaving five returning lettermen for next year's team. Page Seventy-One Morale Builders Cheer Leaders LEFT TO RIGHT-Lloyd Nault. Pat Nault, William Medlyn.
