We would like to takegthis opportun- ity to thank everyone who has made this achieve- ment possible. We thank the faculty for the in- terest they have shown us as individuals, the ad- ministration and the school board for equipping us with the necessary materials for a fine educa- tion, and our parents for the guiding hand they have given us. These exercises and those to follow represent two important phases in our lives, graduation and commencement. I mention these separately, for though they areroften thought of as being syn- onymous, they are in reality quite different. Graduation represents the end of a certain period of our lives, in this case of our high school education. In thinking of this as an end, we like to look in -retrospect at all that has occurred during the past four years. We can easily remember when we entered high school as the traditionally green freshmen, impressed or bewildered by,all that be- fell us. Gradually we became accustomed to our surroundings. We made new friends, found new interests, and we gained a foundation upon which to formulate a sound philosophy of life. For 'four years we have worked and played together. The indelible imprint of our high school life shall not easily pass from our memories. How well we can recall the little things, things that have made our education more complete and worth- while. We can remember the parties, and how the boys had to be coaxed to dance, the game-s, and how we took victory or defeat in our stride. We can remember the thrill of each new year, of entering a new class, and of making new friends. There were also times of disappointment and discouragement. We shall always carry these memories as jewels in our treasure chest of ex- perience. However, in thinking of graduation, we must place our scholastic achievement above all else. Throughout the years we have been receiving a wealth of knowledge, as could only be acquired through formal education. This knowl- edge will certainly serve as a guide in the devious paths of our lives. The education we have rc- ceived, the school activities we have enjoyed, and the friends we have cherished, made the years pass swiftly and pleasantly. Now the end is at at hand. Graduation its here. But let us not be sorrowful, for though it is the end, it is also the beginning. The commence- ment of a new period of life is at hand. No graduation class in the history,of our high school has faced as great a challenge as does this class of 1944. We must not forget that total war im- poses new and strenuous obligations. We, the members of the class of 1944, accept the chal- lenge and pledge ourselves anew to any effort that will guarantee a just and a lasting peace as well as a new and better world. Although for some of us graduation means the end of our formal education, for all of us there is an opportunity to gain a fuller knowledge of life, to gain an education that extends far be- yond,the school. There is something to learn in every walk of life, on the job, at home, in social circles, in our recreation, in art, in literature, in music-everywhere. Our education represents a process of achieving goal after goal. As Robert Louis Stevenson said, There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men . When we have arrived at the hilltop which seems to meet the sky, there is always a greater .height that beckons to us from the distance. With grad- uation we have arrived at the top of one of these hills, now we see new horizons ahead of us. For some of us it may be a job, for others it may be college, or preparation for a business or profess- ion. Yet when we have reached these goals, we need not be depressed by the feeling that we have come to an end, that there is nothing further to strive for, but rather we should look forward with joyful anticipation toward horizons still in the distance. The education we have already ac- quired merely forms an archway through which we can see new paths, untraveled and unexplored by us. Life is a series of cornmencemnts in the .search of new aims and greater success. Yes, there are opportunities for all of us, if we will only travel onward along the paths of learning, exploration, and experience. Here in high school we have received the foundation upon which to construct our plans and base our as- pirations. We must all go into life working for ever higher goals. Life might Well be compared to the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Though we continue to follow that symbol of promise, we can never find its end be- yond thc horizon. This process of looking for- ward to greater heights shall guide us through life and brings us finally to the glorious con- templation of a newer and brighter tomorrow. -CARL TAMMINEN CLASS HISTORY-STATISTICS The graduation class of '44 is about to experi- ence the repetition of an historical event which occurred over two decades ago-the departure of a group of young men for the armed forces. Again today it is the great task of American youth to defend the principles and ideals in which they have been educated to believe. This is a job rich in challenge to the foundations and preparations our education has given us. However, the class of '44 is already beginning to prove its readiness to take up the challenge. Four seniors, Anthony Andriacchi, VValter Nuo- rala, lXlc-lvin Besola, and Donald Pepin are now in active service in the armed forces. Nine boys have enlisted as reserves, four favoring the Air Corps, four the Navy, and one the Army. If the age limit did not prohibit, our class might prove to be fertile ground for women's auxiliary serv- ice recruiters. In all, 21 girls have indicated they would like to join the WAVES, three the Mar- ines, three the lfFAAl9'5, tvfo the TVACS, and one the SPARS. Seven seniors plan to obtain pos- itions in some of the nation's vital war industries. No stretch of the imagination could have im- planted any such ideas as these in the minds of the mothers who accompanied their children to kindergarten in September of 1931. It is unlike- ly that many serious thoughts entered the minds ofthe youngsters themselves those first years, although there are a few possible exceptions. Undoubtedly Charlotte Simons was cured of her persistent tardiness when the teacher found it Page Twenty-l'ive necessary to hide her overshoeis as punishment- And perhaps, after falling into the kindergarten pool a few times, Margaret Solem lost some of her exuberance, although it is doubtful. CHU it be true that certain early habits are never lost or evcn modified? A One hundred and forty-one were enrolled in that kindergarten, although there are but 105 in this graduating class. While 50W have at some time attended other schools, half of us are pro- ducts solely of the Ishpeming Public School System. We have already called attention to the enormous task which confronts the youth of to- dayfthat of defending and maintaining the American way of living. Will the preparations and foundations of our education and background be sufficient to equip us to meet the challenge? Before attempting to answer, let us survey the nature of our parentage and home back- ground. We find that 76W of our class were born in Ishpeming, 137 elsewhere in the state of Michigan, and only 1175 outside of the state. In contrast, 21 mothers and 41 fathers were born in one of the European countries. In all probabil- ity, this accounts for the fact that approximate- ly 807 of our parents did not graduate from high school. We are also more fortunate than some of our older brothers and sisters, 38 of whom were not high school graduates. Nine .seniors have lost their mothers and 14 have lost their fathers. Divorce and re-mar- riage are very unusual. As might be expected, 50W of our fathers are employed in the mining industry. Only 13 mothers work regularly -out- side of the home. None of our fathers is in active service at the pre-sent time, but 27 represented us in 'World War I. Although most of us are too young to enter the service yet, we are justly proud of the 43 brothers and six sisters we have in the armed forces. In last year's class, the English strain pre- dominated. However, this year, as in many pre- vious ones, most students are of Finnish descent, while Scandinavian and English tie for second place. Italian, French, German, Irish, Austrian, Jewish, and Jugoslavian follow in that order. We note, curiously enough, that M of those who spoke a foreign language upon entering school still speak that language with their parents at home. Now that we have completed a ,general sur- vey of our home background, let us consider our formal education. The school presents a variety of available courses. From the records we note that 53 students are graduating under the Science Course, 17 under the Commercial Course, 16 under the General Course, 13 under the History and Social Science Course, four under the Man- ual Arts Course, and three under the Home Economics Course. .Equally important, however, in the school's educational program are the co-curricular activ- ities. Evidently students realize their value and enjoy participating in them, for of this year's class about half have at some time belonged to one or more of the various vocal organizations, more than 11 have been members of band or or- chestra, and more than li have also been mem- bers of the Forum. Seniors were very active in the following as well: 20 senior boys partici- pated in school athletic contests, and 15 members of the class participated in school forensic con- Pa ge Twenty-Six tests. Moreover, 20 seniors have had the oppor- tunity to assist in directing the activities of the school through membership in the Student Coun- cil. Of those who do not participate in musical activities, all except five enjoy attending linuslcal performances, and practically evel'Y01'le,m the class enjoys wa-tching athletic conteStS, Health care and physical education are b0tl'1 strongly emphasized. It has been discovered that 37W of our class wear glasses. Thllqfeen students have had appendix operations, and 29 of us are lacking tonsils. Only two have not taken the tuberculin test, 471k have had small- pox vaccinations, and 8012 have had the diph- theria test. Dueto the use of the portable lung X-i-ay unit, loaned by ine State Department Of Health, 93 of the seniors had lung x-ray-s, as com- pared with only 32 Of last years Clase- Ou? C0311- bined weight, almost seven tons, is heavily ln' sured, because 83? of the class carry life ln- surance. v . With few exceptions, all students Paftlcl' pated in the physical education classes, which stress training in calisthenics, marching, athletic dancing, basketball, etc. Five girls and Seven boys were excused upon a doctor's recommenda- tion, Special gym classes were held for tl10Se with posture defects, etc. ' ' Skill in getting along with others is a p1'1- mary requisite for success, and this art may Well be practiced at school social functions. Almost 3-5 of the class have attended most of the school parties and 36 have attended at least one Ishpem- ing High School Prom. Thus we have establish- ed some basis for future social relationshlPS- Travel has been a 'means of enabling us to have many valuable educational experienC9S- Eighty-four per cent come from families who own cars, and nearly half of this group have the PTW' ilege of using the car on special occasions. When cars are not available, we may always resort. to the 60 bicycles in our pos-sesion. Although nlne students have never been outside of the Upper Peninsula,'22 have visited Canada, England, or Mexico. In almost half our homes may be found two or more radios, another popular and effective method of furthering cultural develop- ment. Questions of vital interest in these unsettled times are: What are our war-time interests, and, what are we doing to further the war ef- fort? Over 36, of our class earn their own spend- ing money. At least 50 seniors have worked in the various business establishments in the city, often as clerks, ushers, gas station attendants, truck drivers, bell-hops, or waitresses. As a re- sult of working 915 hours a week, we have earn- ed the grand total of S34'I.55. However, we do not constantly seek profit from all our labors, for all but eight have daily chores to do. This pafst year the families of 81 seniors participated in the victory garden pro- gram, assisted by 41 sons and daughters, and many intend to do so again this year. Finally, we may boast of 100W participation in the pur- chase of War Stamps and Bonds. Is not the fact that 41 of us either hope to or expect to continue our education indicative of our faith in the future? Of this group 24 favor college, three 'trade school, and of the 14 girls who expect to become nurses, 11 plan to enter the Cadet Nursing Program. It is evident, as a result of this survey of the history and statistics of our class, that the school together with the home and the church, has been instrumental in equipping us for future harmoni- it with faith in the democratic way of living and ' ' h' and in anticipation of even higher levels of educa- ous living and intelligent citizens ip. h In full realization that the job before us is difficult, challenging, land permanent, we 9.CC9Pt tional achievement. -J OANNE LINDBOM CLASS GIFTATORY-MPI-IOPHECY H l INTRODUCTION Seniors, Seniors, most ambitious, How do your gardens grow?

JOY 'CHAMPION MARY JANE COAD SHIRLEY COOLE DOROTHY FRANTTI JEAN GAUTHIER KATHERINE MAKI 1. CLASS MEMORIAL Flags have been the representation of man's ideals throughout the ages. The American flag is the symbol of our country. It embodies the hardships suffered at Plymouth, the battles of the Revolution, the writing of our Constitution, the efforts of our soldiers and statesmen-in truth, all factors which have made America great. Everything that man has put into our country to make it what it is today-the ideal of democracy -is part of our flag. It is with these thoughts in mind that the Class of 1944 presents two American flags to the school for the use of our band. Since its organization, the band has had the use of the Ishpeming Industrial Associationis Page Twenty-Eight flags. Through this courtesy the band has al- ways appeared with the colors. 'This gift will make it possible for the band to have its Own flags in concert and on parade. VVhen you see these flags passing b '11 not think of the Class of 1944. You xilslvou W1 b- uably think of the flagis beauty and of whatpnijen and women of the past have done to uphold its honor .and glory. We of the Class of 1944 will see this too but we shall al ' , so see our attempt to thank the school fornuglliiieitflgiz done for us and to show our appreciation for all the advantages We have had during these four important years. -CHARLES ALLEN SALUTATCRY LIVING AS AN ART We, the class of 1944, bid you welcome to our commencement program. We deeply appreciate your interest in us and your contributions which enabled us to live joyously during our school years. Today we are living in a world which is Challenging as well as menacing our democratic forms of government, our social structures, and even the ideals on which nations are founded. From 'all parts of the globe come stories of un- told suffering and tragic loss. Cities ape being bombedi b0th young and old are deprived of food and shelter, millions are being robbed of their freedoms. Also from every corner of the United States emanate tales of horror perpetrated against society. In the face of this conflict and unparallel crisis we ask, Is it possible to live J0y0usly in such a turbulent world? Can one lead a full, worthwhile life? To answer these questions in the affirmative dePem?S.Wh0uY upon us as individuals, for it 'is OUI' privilege and responsibilityto chart our own courses of life. Often we will be threatened by Imminent dangers and dire disasters, but being guided by our ideals and the proper attitudes in- stilled within us since childhood we can keep our ship' onuits course and steer straight toward our destination, a happy, joyous life. We must be like Pilgrims, striving for our goal, as Lowell states: New occasions teach new duties, yTime makes ancient good uncouthg They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth. Lo, before us gleam her campfires! We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key, Happiness, we are told, is the state of pleas- urable content of mind which results from suc- cess or the attainment of what is considered good . This makes clear that happiness is a by- product of other actions. It cannot be obtained by seeking it directly. J. Petit-Senn states, Happiness is where we find it, but very rarely where we seek it . 'Maeterlinck realized this in his story, 'tThe Bluebird , in which happiness is personified as a bluebird, forever luring the chil- dren onward. After returning from their wan- dering in far distant ,lands in search of the elusive bird, they are surprised and delighted to find joy and contentment within their own home. Poets also believe that the search for beauty and truth is one of the aims of living, as Buchanan states so aptly: 'tBeauty and Truth, though never found, are worthy to be sought. The Constitution of the United States declares, Every citizen has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . Here happiness is inter- preted as a quest, a goal set up as an end, unable to be reached through fleeting sensory experi- ences, considered the true source of happiness by the majority of people today. Instead, we must strive for this end by enriching our lives with permanent and pure values. This is a serious adventure, for grave is all beauty and solemn is joy. Philosophers and poets claim that we are made for pleasure and that the world is over- flowing with beauty to be enjoyed. Since there is blessedness surrounding us, should we not look for this happiness? Should not this be the pur- pose and the goal of living? Unfortunately ob- stacles will impede our quest, for insincerity, bigotry, and fraud cause us to sacrifice no small portion of pleasure. After discovering the true source of happiness we must build enduring foundations of thought and skill, so cogently ex- pressed by Walton: How happy is he, born and taught, Who serveth not another's willy Whose armor is his honest thought And simple truth his utmost skill, Now, let us consider a few of the stepping- stones which will aid us in searching for happi- ness. The craving for beauty in art, which be- gan with the desire to create and reproduce, is most natural to human beings. In art we have found the loveliness of a sunset, the peacefulness of a summer evening, and the beauty of facial expression. By visiting picture galleries and sculptural exhibitions our ,lives have been beau- tified and inspired. An acquaintance with art, or preferably the love of it, stimulates us to per- severe in seeking and coveting happiness. Music, which helps us to find pleasure, has been called one of the essential elements of life . Through the soothing quietness of Brahms' Lullaby or Gounod's Ave Maria our fears and griefs are forgotten, hymns, such as Faith of Our Fathers, give us new strength to meet our daily tasks, our spirits are aroused when we hear a stirring march of John Philip Sousa. Since music appeals to all of us, it belongs equally to everyone and can be thoroughly enjoyed. Reading, which is one of life's greatest bless- ings, is an activity readily adapted to all ages. Our association with books is not exposed to the misunderstandings which weaken or dissolve other friendships. Instead, booksg such as, Good-bye, Mr. Chips , and The Robe , make new friends for usg the biographies of Madam Curie and George Washington Carver inspire us to attain higher achievements, our ability to understand human nature is greatly augmented by reading of Julius Caesar and Pride and Prejudice. Literature is also a powerful means of obtaining knowledge. Through an in- telligent use of our public libraries we are able to make all great men our servants. All that they have lost or gained, done or left undone, is preserved for posterity. Today we ask, How will the deliberate destruction of books in Eur- ope affect tomorrow's civilization? Traveling, a very important avocational ec- tivity, is a road toward happiness. We who visited far distant points were thrilled with the maiesty of the Grand Canyon, or found time for quiet meditation in the Lincoln Memorial. Mount Vernon and the Statute of Liberty quickened our patriotic zeal and helped us to realize the true meaning of our democratic way of life. In the Upper Peninsula we are indeed fortunate, for here the beauty of the trees, lakes, and hills can- not be surpassed. No matter how long or short the journey, a change of scene and occupation is a great aid to health and happiness. Having a purpose in life is essential to hap- py living, but the cynic asks, How can one have a purpose when all about us is turmoil? As cynics are misanthropes who view life pessimis- tically and selfishly, they lack the fundamental Page Twenty-Nine purpose of living, service above self. By guid- ing us during these perilous times a powerful purpose will greatly further our success and satisfaction. A love for humanity makes our lives richer and more genuine. Having an interest in the people around us and cultivating friendships help us to become more sympathetic and kindly toward all. By giving to altruistic agencies: such as, the Red Cross and the Community Chest, we give strength and hope to innumerable peo- ple. For us there are unlimited opportunities for social welfare and relief work throughout the universe. In such uncertain times as these, religion should have its deepest meaning, for Christianity shines brightest help is greatest when the day is darkest- Its when we are in the midSt of severe hardships and heavy sorrow-s. Since OUP own strength is not sufficient, We must depend upon God and draw closer to Him. Our faith and 'trust in Him will sustain and lead us through 'the darkest future. True religion holds us steadfast and deepens the meaning of life ev0n in the face of great disasters. Let us, therefore, strive to provide enduring foundation for happiness through the fine arts, through hobbies, and through love for humanity. Armed with a definite purpose for lii:'ing and a true religious attitude toward life, let us live joyously and fruitfully. -CAROLYN GIESER EDUCATION PCR LASTING PEACE Twenty-five million! Yes, twenty-five mil- lion have sacrificed their lives in this War. Vvhole cities have been bombed and leveled to the grcund. The work of centuries has been de- stroyed in a brief period of devastation and de- struction. Wars have retarded the advancement of culture and civilization, In the midst of this chaos there still burns in men's hearts the desire for lasting peace. The spark of desire is there, but the light of hope has grown dim. In the darkness of this plight man has constantly groped and searched for the solution of this problem. With hope and faith he has attempted again and again to secure a peace that would insure him and his posterity against the recurrence of war and all its attend- ant evils. Yes, there have been many unsuccess- ful attempts at peace, but these failures should not hinder us in attempting a solution once more. All that humanity has ever accomplished has been through repeated failures and the underlying perseverance and patience of individuals and na- tions. Rather than view these attempts with disappointment and a feeling of futility, we should view them as symbols of man's desire for peace and as steppingstones toward success. Regardless of what type of organization its set up to preserve peace, the educational factor can- not be omitted or overlooked. We must educate the world for peace. If we do not plan for this educational program, lasting peace cannot and will not be attained. Education has always been the most important factor in molding indi- viduals' thoughts, public attitudes, national phil- osophies. Education for peace must permeate every corner of the earth. Education can make or break any policy of cooperation in this world. In molding individual life, education begins with birth and ends with death. Little children can be trained to think and live in the ways of civilized man. Through constant repetition their minds are molded to fit into the pattern of family life and human society. When they grow older they absorb the influence of what they see and hear. As soon as war its foremost in all phases of life, children assume the role of soldiers and sailors and commandos. We may talk of lasting peace, but if we allow our youth to go on like this, we are defeating our own aims. Still another important factor in shaping the lives of individuals is religious training. Its moral code has a strengthening effect upon all the peoples of the world, This is not merely an empty phrase: it is an established fact. In a re- cent survey of criminal institutions it was found P31 ue Thirty that a great majority of criminals have had little or no religious training in their lives. Education can be used to promote the general gvelfare of humanity, but too often it is uised as a weapon to forge a military spirit among peo- ples and nations. ,When a country is at war, its natural tendency is to create in its citizens a pro- war feeling. With Nazism and Fascism came the most ruthless indoctrination with the spirit of aggression and conquest that the world has ever witnessed. The Nazi regime took over all the schools in -the Reich, destroyed the standard textbooks, replaced them with books containing only their ,selected philosophy, and' made sure that every instructor was a Nazi sympathizer. That was not all. Soon they controlled and censored every foot of film that was shown to the Nazi public. They determined what books could or could not be distributed through Nazi Ger- many, and they decided what the Germans should read in their newspaper-s and magazines. With this educational program the Nazis have created a race of war-minded youth who are filled with thoughts of hate and revenge. These youths must be re-educated and re-trained, or they will be a constant threat to humanity. That is how education has been used in the past. Could we not fully as well teach the hor- rors and folly of war? The horrors of war are easily visualized, and their lesson is easily under- stood. Millions of the world's best young men die bloody and gruesome deaths, leaving wives and children destitute and impoverished. Many others are maimed and crippledg still others are victims of shell shock . Many of them will spend their ruined lives in institutions. You may talk Of Winning a war, but in reality there is no winner. No nation benefits by war, but every nation sacrifices and suffers. Whether a war- ring country wins or loses, nothing can replace the loss'of life, money, property, and friendship of other nations. Could we not also teach the virtues of other peoples? Instead of teaching the Nazi philoso- phy of a superior race, we should teach the equality of man. People should all be taught the virtues of other races. We in America have already begun this with our South American neighbors. Daily we read articles on South America, hear South American music on our ra- dios, see movies on South American life and d b 1 ' ' We Sen am assaqols Of good will to these countries as representatives of our people. In turn the South Americans learn what we are like. 'Tr-ue their customs and ide - ' - - ' as are not entirely similar v to OUPS, nor do we expect them to be. Through edUCatiOr1 We have come to understand and re- spect our neighbors. After all, there is no great distinction between any two peoples of the world. All were created by the same hand, all were created equal, and all deserve the same rights and opportunities. Could we not also teach the principles of in- ternational justice and good will? There should be no distinction between have and have not nations. After this war the larger nations will have the burden of reconstruction on their shoulders. They are the only nations with the resources, power, and ability to rebuild the world, These nations -should not use their resources as weapons to coerce and force smaller nations, but they must share that wealth with the more unfor- tunate. Rather than use these resources as creators of hate, they should be used to promote international friendship and cooperation, This educational program must seek out every individual and every phase of life. From childhood up every future citizen of the world should be taught the doctrines of peace, prosper- 1tY,. 2111.6 happiness. We must beg-in molding their lives while they are young, so that doc- trines of hate and war may not be permitted to permeate and pollute their minds. But this is not enough. This philosophy of peace must be present in all phases of direct and indirect education. Modern inventions and so- Clal PI'0g1'9SS have given us the best methods pos- sible with which to spread the philosophy of peace. Radios, motion pictures, books, maga- zines, and schools must all become instruments to P1'0YI10t9 lasting world harmony. Their aims must be twofold: to eliminate all warmindedness from the face of the earth, and to make people realize that peace is not an idle dream, but a living reality. . All these methods of promoting principles of international justice and good will and peace will have to be under the control of a central bureau. Some type of world organization must control this educational program, for if it is not interna- tional, its aims can never be accomplished. One nation could spoil the effect of such a program. If one nation were allowed to indoctrinate its people with philosophies of war and hate, all other nations would be compelled to follow its policies, and militarism would be rampant again. Such an educational program could also work in cooperation with the church. The church, as an organization, can do much to promote policies of peace. It is international in its scope. It deals with all races, and its principle of the brotherhood of all man is a strong foundation for peace. All through the centuries the churches have fought the savage spirit of war. ' If all na- tions would follow the precepts of Christ, Love thy neighbor as thyself , lasting peace would be near at hand. In each of the nations that they have con- quered, the Axis powers have begun educating the people, indoctrinating them with philosophies of race prejudices, aggression, and war. They have fully realized the value of education in at- taining their goals. The question which faces us today is whether we are equally aware of the value of an educational program in attaining world harmony. By indoctrinating all peoples with thoughts of lasting peace and prosperity, all thoughts of war and hate and revenge would be driven out of men's hearts. Future generations would look back upon wars as chaotic and fruit- less expressions of man's barbarism. Yes, that future may not be very distant. As victor na- tions we shall be in a position to enforce our plans of peace. The times cry for such plan- ning, and the fateful months and year-s lie before us. If we seize upon this opportunity with de- termination and sincerity, if we go forth with a humble and Christian attitude, and if we educate the world for peace, We can usher in that 310150115 future, that new era, WhiCh Will Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold, Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. --CARL TAMMINEN YQUTH LOOKS AHEAD In the midst of the present destructive and devastating war, many great problems confront our nation. One of these is the problem of American Youth. It is very fitting that tonight, the night of Commencement, we give our consid- eration to one phase of the problem. Millions of our youth, the nation's new gener- ation, are being inducted in-to the armed forces. Some of these fine young men will not be so for- tunate ais to return from battle. Daily we read in our newspapers that the casualty list is con- stantly rising, and we are told by our president to expect more and more casualties as the war takes its bloody course. Every day of the week we hear young men who will in the near future be inducted into the armed forces, passing remarks something like this, Well, my induction papers have come, and soon my life will be worth noth- ing. I may just as well live recklessly now, as I'll soon probably be killed or wounded in battle. Exactly what chance do we young fellows have? My plans to go to college and be somebody are gone. This attitude of American youth has become a serious problem, and' juvenile delinquency in the United States has increased many times since the passage of the eighteen year old draft bill. To bring the problem closer to home permit me to cite an example in our own city. For an as- signment in Social Problems, I was to interview an Ishpeming law-enforcing officer on the delin- quency problem. During this interview hein- formed me that the greatest percent of juvenile delinquency in Ishpeming was a result of the ae- tions of boys between the ages of seventeen and eighteen. These boys had either registered or would within a short time be drafted for military service. When asked by the officer why they had committed the petty crimes, they replied that they felt, as long as they were going into serv- ice with the possibility of being killed or disabled, they should celebrate now before being inducted. You can perhaps see what I am trying to point out. Many of our youth feel that their fu- tures are blacked out by this war. It seems to me that too many of us are taking the path of a de- featist. I shall attempt to show you, this evening, that this defeatism on the part of American youth is not altogether justified. Even in times of destructive warfare, Amer- ica is the land of opportunity for the individual. The common people are infinitely better off in a Page Thirty-Cue material way-better clothed, better housed, bet- ter fed, have more money in savings institutions, carry more insurance of various kinds, have more and better recreation than can be found any other place on the face of the globe. Certainly American youth are proud to fight and die to keep our nation a land of prosperity and oppor- tunity. But I maintain that it is a mistaken no- tiozz on the part of many of us that we sacrifice our futures in order to do so. It is my belief that we the youth of America have greater oppor- tunities and a brighter future than young men and women have had for scores of years. Our futures are far from being blacked out by war. We have splendid educational opportunities and military training of a beneficial nature. Our young American girls have opportunities to par- ticipate in free nursing courses offered by our government, and to attend private colleges more easily because of the increase in the earning pow- er of most parents. True, you may say, If my boy goes overseas and into battle and is killed isn't his future gone 7 Yes. But have you compared the num- ber of people killed in automobile accidents in 1942 and the number of soldiers killed during the same year? If you have, I'm confident you will find that the number of deaths due to accidents in the United States that year exceeded the num- ber of our soldiers killed in our second year of war. Furthermore, automobile accidents repre- sent a total waste of life, a destruction from which no good will ever come, but the lives of our boys lost in this war are nobly sacrificed for the preservation of freedom in the World. War is just one of those things that exist, and probably will always be in some form. It is a fatal disease, the same as cancer, heart dis- eases, and pneumonia. Yet we do not hesitate to go on a camping or fishing trip, because we might contract pneumonia, instead We go ahead and plan our future, realizing that death is a possibility that exists. The point I am trying to make is simply this: even though our youth face possible death in this time of destructive war- fare we should still plan ahead for our future. We must say 'Tm going into the army, I'm going overseas, but I'm going to be one of the lucky ones coming back, and I'm planning now what I shall do after all this chaos is over . Our gov- ernment has gone ahead and is now training our soldiers and sailors in many ways that will help them in later life. Let us take a look at what the United States government is doing. VVhen the draft age was lowered to eighteen back in 1942, the colleges became acutely wor- ried about their future for the duration. Except for girls and a few men not fitted for military service, there would be no one to attend our in- stitutions of higher learning. The educational futures of our youth indeed looked dark. A group of influential educators took the problem to 'Washington and presented their argument to the military authorities. These educators point- ed out to the officials, that they should plan now to replenish their supply of medical, engineering, an ' 'f'il1'iic1ll3i rained men. After much discussion and investigating it was decided to set up an educational program for men of the United States Arrnjv. Training was offered in the fields of medicine, engineering, languages, science, and mathematics. Let us briefly take a look at the pi ogram. In the area and language study program, we find the students studying the languages, cus- toms, history, and geography of certain areas in Pa ,ge 'lihi 5'-Trio Europe and the Far East where the allied Armies are expected to operate. Young men WhO had planned to take courses of this kind, have won- derful opportunities to gain a firm foundation in the study of the customs and language of for- eign peoples. The pre-medical and pre-dental program of- fers the student practical work for a career in surgery and dentistry. Many young men Whose life ambition has been to be a doctor or dentist, but be'cause of financial difficulties have been unable to attend the necessary colleges or univer- sities, have been started on the right road to success by the army's program of education. The training of engineers is the predominant part of the Whole program. This training of- fers courses in civil, mechanical, sanitary, elec- trical, and chemical engineering. During the reconstruction period that will follow this war we will need countless engineers to rebuild and erect new buildings, roads, and even entire cities. Some of the young men who obtain this engineering ex- perience will be able to take their places with the top engineers of our country after the war. It would be folly for me to say that all boys get a chance to take thisspecialized training, as we realize the number is limited and also that the quota has been drastically reduced because of a shortage of manpower in our infantry ranks. However, Brigadier General Matthew J. Fitz- gerald, one of the leading educational officers of the program, said in a newspaper interview, Army men will again be extensively trained in technical fields when the emptied fighting ranks are filled with our soldiers . Probably the most lucrative of all ,the train- ing programs offered by the armed forces is the Army Air Force College Training Program. The training received by the fortunate members of the Air Force is equivalent to a 327,000 education in the finest colleges in the United States. Some of the men get invaluable training in the field of navigation, a field which will be near the top in importance after the war is won. Our class has ,given young men to this fine branch of the service. The regular branches of the armed forces al- so offer valuable training to its men. For ex- ample, the army teaches radio, auto and airplane repair work, administration, mathematics, and other subjects that will be beneficial in later life. Lieut. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, Chief of the Army's Service and Supply, says that sixty-three out of every hundred men in the Army must be specialized to keep our mechanized forces mov- ing smoothly and fighting hard. Both the army and the navy realize that in modern mechanized warfare, electricity plays an important role. Thousands of young Americans will receive training in the field of electronics. After the aiair, flcctricity will affect our lives in a thousand different ways. Men equipped with a thorough understanding of the subject will be able to ob- tain good positions in the thousands of industrial plants in our country. The navy offers radio and electricity courses to a large per cont of navy men. One Such course is training in the radar field, an efficient new vxeapon. I am proud to say that several of our young men of the class of 1944 will receive this training. The navy department has also ,set up an ei-gtensivc training program for Uncle Sarrrs men in blue. This prggyayny the V-12 CO1- lege training program, has thousands of 0 . - . . , ' Y UU sailors studying engineering and other importani technical subjects. Those who survive the train- ing will be commissioned officers in the United States Navy. I have attempted to show you this evening that perhaps the future of youth is not so dark as we are wont to believe, but that it is our duty to take over the burden of tomorroW's civilization and do a good job of it. Let there be none among us who are guilty of the pessimistic I don't care , but let us all ,unite as one and say, Whatever the future brings, we'll meet it square- ly . And finally, we must conclude that the world isn't such a bad place to live in, for Be- hind the clouds is the sun still shining . -VVILLIAM NAULT VALEDICTORY A THING OF BEAU Before 'the maturing youth of America lie the greatest problems ever 'faced by man. The tan- gible ones will naturally be undertaken first-the reconstruction of the bullet-battered economies of nations, the rejuvenation of desolated people all over the world, the uniting of the old enemies Preach and Practice. We are constantly be- sieged with the plea for thoughts of tomorrow's peace, economic security for all, abolition of race prejudice. But there are also the deep-rooted intan- gible problems which we must face. Before we can even begin upon the rehabilitation of our physical necessities, we must have a renaissance of our souls. And what is the first requisite of a pure soul, happiness, is definitely prescribed by Keats in his Endymion . He said, A thing of beauty is a joy forever . In that short line lies that very intangible for which we are groping. Yet beauty is all around us if we could open our eyes and hearts to the fact that it is inde- structible. In the midst of the horror and welter of war we cannot rid our minds of sorrow and longing, but we dismiss beauty entirely. I realize that it is hard not to harbor pessimistic thoughts. That is Why I am trying to suggest a way of making them more bearable. Deep in all our hearts is that dull pain which makes us want to cry out, Oh God, take it away . We are young, but we, too, have deep feelings. We do understand what war is, but because we are young we believe that there are ways of bearing pain and sorrow. Our fighting men have the same trust. Theirs is the beauty of elevation of spirit. They may not ad- mit their faith, but it is there. Perhaps you too have noticed pictures in the newspapers of men kneeling in fearfully reverent prayer before going out on a mission from which they may never re- turn. Many of these men are recent converts, but you can be perfectly sure that they all are in dead earnest when they seek guidance and watch- fulness from heaven. They speak the sacred verse with reverence, Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness . They realize the full significance of these words. Guided by a trust in something they feel is beautiful, they can go into battle and perform 'the feats which the world has seen. That beautiful faith of theirs should be an inspiration for us to renew our confidence in the constancy of beauty even in -the midst of scourge and plunder. Even greater then their rediscovered fai-th is their view of death. Formerly death was a mys- try which was viewed with awe or feared by many people. Death is no longer feared by the men, they revere it as a comfort or a rest. With their outlook in mind, we must no-t look upon death itself as a hopeless, ugly thing, but rather as a beautiful one, for death is as majestic as life. It bears all the qualities of beauty and has in- TY IS A JOY FOREVER spired poets to write great masterpieces. In his poem To a Skylark , Shelley says, Our sweet- est songs are those which tell of saddest thought , Shelley means here that the sadness creates more beautiful in-spirations than any other emotion. There is a note of comfort in his line. If we can feel with Shelley that sorrow and pain are beau- tiful, then we shall have caught Keats, meaning and shall have the joy forever . It is often startling to realize that beauty is present where one may least expect it. We can take comfort from the American poet when he says: Tis not in the high stars alone, Nor in the cup of budding flowers, Nor in the redbreasts' mellow-tone, Nor in the bow that smiles in showers, But in the mud and scum of things There alway, alway, something -sings. Even in the mud and filth of war, soldiers capture a singing beauty on canvas. One heart- warming painting is a picture of some stretcher- bearers carrying the wounded away from battle. In their faces the finer 'things in human charac- ter are revealed ---- -care, patience, kindliness, char- ity, and fellowship. Another picture might be of a glowing sunset or of the path of the moon reflected in still water on a calm night. The creators of such beauty can come back from a mission tired, Wounded and probably heart-sick. They are very susceptible to loneliness and des- pair when they arrive at a shattered barracks or a bloody foxhole. Perhaps it is in the South Pacific where the world is steeped in the rainy season. The men must face the task of burying their comrades and rebuilding their lodgings in the sludge and muck. They have every reason for giving up hope and lying down to die, but the desire for experiencing and capturing a thing of beauty cannot be suppressed. They can see beauty in the midst of the turmoil. They can make a gorgeous sunset live on canvas minus all the ugliness of bomb craters and battle fields. They have recreated the scenes of awe-inspiring beauty, which have stirred them to give us new hope. One great inspiration for us all is the story of a young Englishman, whose symphony and life story have already become classic. This young man started writing his symphony before the war began. As hostilities increased, he enlisted and was sent to a war front. During his few- snatched leisure hours he worked on his master- piece, creating beauty in his mind while planes roared overhead and bombs exploded nearby. Finally the catastrophe occurred. The soldier was killed, but his symphony was among his be- longings and was sent home to his parents, I-Ie had created a wondrous work of beauty during the most terrific onslaught of the war. The music defined war more eloquently than any Page 'Thirty-Three words, but one could feel the thrill which beauty had given to one young man. The symphony has already had its premiere in England and America. Both countries have thrilled to the glorious music created by beauty, which is ever- lasting. Amid the gaping walls of the gutted cathe- dral at Coventry, England, after the terrific siege of 1940, Archbishop Temple gave his famous pledge that it would be rebuilt even more glor- ious than before. He reassured us of beauty's permanence with the consolation that all the cathedrals on earth could be destroyed but bombs could not destroy the beauty which in- spired them. Beauty would live on forever in the hearts and souls of men. Tho-se simple words give voice to the intangible need in our- selves which asks recognition. Beauty is a sed- ative for every pain and sorrow that troubles us. Beauty is it own excuse for being . We seniors must leave high school and child- hood behind us and prepare ourselves for many disheartening tasks. God willing, we shall face them with courageous trust in the knowledge that beauty is the staff of hope and the guide to eternal happiness. -MARIAN HAM .i.l1.l.1- SENIOR CLASS SONG Tune: This Is a Lovely Way to Spend An Evening NVe sing our parting song to thee, our High School, To thee our treasurer of mem'ries dear.

The Student Council, an organization of rep- resentative students and faculty, has met regular- ly this year and encouraged cooperation between pupils and faculty through its activities. One of its projects was the sponsoring of a -series of parties. The first was a pep-meeting on September 24. Three hundred and sixty-one students, the largest group ever in attendance at a school party, were on hand. The rally was pep itself. VVilliam Nault acted as chairman. Coach Watson introduced -the football team. Miss Bentley led the singing of the school songs. The cheer leaders directed some deafening yells, and Mr. Townsend gave a spirited talk about school citizenship. Evidently the enthusiasm of the students inspired the team to play a beautiful game, for they tied Marquette at 19 pointfs. The twenty-ninth of October was the date of our Gypsy Harvest Carnival . 'lhe gym was decorated with corn husks. Wooden benches covered with colored blankets took the place of the usiial line of folding chairs. Group singing led by Mr. Stiles started an evening of fun for 325 students. Next, Mr. Malmstrom mystified us with his magic, and the snake dance put us in a dancing mood. It was at this party that the dancing of the Virginia Reel, which became a favorite, was introduced. Another large crowd attended the Winter Carnival on January 21. To carry out our theme there was an imitation ice rink surround- ed by: Christmas trees, toboggans, -skates, skiis and snowshoes. Many students Wore plaid shirts and ski -sweaters to lend atmosphere. On one side of the gym stood a throne upon which sat Page Forty-Four our King, Robert Elson, and our Queen, Joyce Denny, chosen by lot during the festivities. The high light of the evening was the Truth or Con- sequence program. To hear the students pro- nounce our parties hits was ample reward for our efforts. Another project of the group is the compil- ing of statistics for an Honor Roll of service men graduated from the Ishpeming High School, Throughout the year we have also sponsored the local declamatory, oratorical, extemporane- ous speaking, and dramatic declamatory contests. Axygrd assemblies for athetics and forensics were ic .

G eorge Peterson The Mattson Hi-Y of the Ishpeming High School meets every Wednesday eveningg two meetings a month are devoted to business, and two, to recreation. The members chosen from the junior and senior classes have as their aim a program to serve their school and community better by living up to the Hi-Y platform of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean living. The members contributed their services in many ways. During the football and the basket- ball seasons boys not participating in the games sell candy and ice cream barsg the proceeds ob- tained are used largely to buy items the boys feel will benefit their school. The gift thi-s year will be an unusual one, for the club will sponsor a one day guidance clinic during the next school year. One of the most outstanding guidance ex- perts in the country will meet the various class- es and individuals who desire interviuzws as 'well as deliver a lecture in an assembly. The Hi-Y takes charge of ushering at all programs in the auditorium. Two parties arc sponsored 1-.sch ycarg the first, a stag party for the l'rt-shmcn boysg and the second, a dancing party sponsored by the Hi-Y and the Girls' Organization. Since many of thc members arc connected with vocal and instrumental groups, thc organ- ization this year has been quite rnusicrwlly in- clined, and William Nault, the song leader, has taken advantage of the gi-oup's willingness to sing. The members participate in every form of extra-curricular activity, including football, b sketball, debate, forensics, dramatics, and sex'- a eral are class officers. A high standard of scholarship was maintained by the group this year.

DRAMATIC DECLAMATIONS This year because of the superior talent and material presented in the elimination contest, five instead of four contestants were chosen to represent the Forum in the final contest. The faculty and student body were unanimous in their decision that it was the best dramatic con- test ever held in the high -school, both because the selections were well chosen, and the contest- ants were evenly matched. Barbara Belstrom was awarded second place, and Robert Elson won first place. At the district contest in Marquette Robert received top honors. At the regional contest in Manistique second place was awarded him. Miss Johnson and Mr. Renz coached the contestants. The Murder of Lidice ............

Each year it has sponsored con- tests in declamation and oratory, and in more re- cent years it has added extempore speaking and dramatic reading. During the past season much interest was shown in the dramatic declamation contests. Aside from those who competed at the school assembly, the following members took part in the preliminaries: Mary Lee Andrew, Arlene Bess, Joyce Jurmu, Margaret Solem, and Antoinette Vicario. In oratorical declamation aside from those who spoke at the assembly, the following students participated: Corinne Ander- son, Mary Lindbom, Norman Leffler, Stuart Malmgren, Stuart Eldred, and Marion Lindberg. The club has provided speech and personality training for its members which they will never forget. Other club activities included skits, ra- dio scripts, anecdotes, quizzes, and various dis- cussions of aid to the group. Of interest to all members were the Orson Welles' recording of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venicef' Each of the actors in this record- r Page Fifty-Two ing had several roles, which showed the students what can really be accomplished with the voice. The student body has the Forum to thank- as well as the teachers who helped-for the splendid presentation of Dickens' HA Christmas Carol. A large share of the club's success is due to the faculty advisers who spend a good deal of their time helping the students to perfect their work.

It has been the tradition of this group to master and perfect numbers of both a -serious and light nature. However, the group could have done nothing without the patience, skill, and love of Miss Bentley, whose direction of such a fine organization merits the respect and admiration of all of us. The Mixed Chorus made its first appearance at the Armistice Day Program. The audience enjoyed hearing two patriotic numbers, Liberty Under God by Sacco and The Pledge to the Flag by Malotte. At Christmastime the group thrilled the audi- ence with its reverent and dignified presentation of three numbers from I-Iandel's Messiah : And the Glory of the Lord , O, Thou That Tell- est Good Tidings to Zion , and the Hallelujah Chorus . The enthusiasm and joy that the singers get from such an experience is evident in their performance. The peak of achievement was reached in the Lenten Cantata. The large number of music lovers was deeply moved by the singing Of Mathew's Paschal Victor . The baritone, tenor, and soprano solo work was outstandingly mature. At the Spring Music Festival the chorus sang two numbers. The first one was Noble Cain's inspiring number, Ode To America . The sec- ond number Was the exceptionally well-liked Victor Herbert Favorites . At the Baccalaureate service the Mixed Chorus repeated several numbers from the Paschal Victor . The highest credit is due Miss Bentley for the care and effort she has given the chorus in making it the organization that it is. We deep- ly appreciate the work of Miss Grace Hampton, our talented accompanist. GIRLS' C-LEE CLUB This year the Girls' Glee Club has maintained its much-deserved reputation of being a superior choral group. Under the able direction of Miss Helen Bentley this group has done much to in- crease the music appreciation of the community. Most of the girls begin their training in the Girls' Chorus, an organization which doe-s not appear in concert. Here their voices are devel- oped for the more strenuous work of the Glee Club. During the past year, the Glee Club was com- posed of 83 members and practiced twice a week. It sang at the Christmas Program, Spring Con- cefrt, Armistice Day Program, and at two speech contests. Several numbers were especially beau- tiful and well-interpretedg such as, A Bird Flew and Far Away Songn by Clokey, Let There' Be Song by Klemm, A Tiny Seed Became a Shrine by Coburn, and Prelude by Ronald. Miss Peggy Irwin accompanied the g1'0uP this year and contributed much to its success.

Daily practice was begun immediately in order to be ready for the first performance at the annual Christmas program in the high school auditorium. The group has played a variety of selections. Among the marches the musicians enjoyed were Washington Post, Mar Connecticut , 'tSaber and Spurs , and March Romaine . One of the more exac-ting numbers was Western Overture . At the Senior Class Play incidental music was provided by the orchestra. It made its final appearance at the Spring Festival, presenting the program below. ch ............

March Romaine ..,... Tschaikowsky .....................Gounod THE BAND The High School Band under their new director, Mr. E. G. Stiles, began preparation for their part during the football season. Marching drills were held on the streets, and maneuvering drills, on the football field. The sixty-eight piece marching band featured marching formations at three home games and at the Negaunee game which was played at night. During the basketball season the band played at all home games. A marching-maneuvering band was developed to perform on the basketball floor. Complete routines, lasting from six to eight minutes, were presented between halves of two home games and also between halves of the final game of the regional tournament. This new feature of continuous routine maneuvering on the floor won the consideration and interest of both townspeople and visitors. One routine con- tained seven band formations, five band select- Page Sixty ions, and a cornet solo in a cross formation representing the American Red Cross. At the spring festival the fantasia, Melody A La King , was the highlight of the band's portion of the program. This number consisted of seven famous selections by Karl L. King, American bandmaster and composer, arranged by the late Harry L. Alford. A large variety of music was studied. This included college and university marches, standard marches, novelty numbers, and overtures. Two ensembles functioned toward the close of the school year. A sophomore clarinet quar- tet was used at the awards assembly, and a senior brass quartet played on class night. After a busy year of appearing at athletic contests and school assemblies, the band made its final appearance in the Memorial Day parade. Page Sixty-One Home am 49 P W Y 'YM A, , , , , THE.

Page Sixty-Two FOOTBALL ISHPEMINGEG IRON MOUNTAIN-18 .The Mountaineers, aided by the ineffectual resistance of a green team, turned the Hematites back in their first defeat of the season. Ishpeming repeatedly came within scoring dis- tance, but each time lost the ball on blunder-s. The Hematites scored their lone tally in the third quarter on a 20-yard pass from Wiinikainen to Alanko. Alanko sparkled the Hematite's defense by re- peatedly getting off long punts. In one instance he booted one 50 yards to drive the Mountaineers back. ISI-IPEMING-6 SOO-26 The Hematites made every error imaginable as they dropped a 26-6 decision to the Soo. The Soo -scored two touchdowns in the first half without making a first down. One of these was a spectacular 99-yard gallop by Red Wa- ters, who intercepted a pass on the one-yard line and ran 'through the Ishpeming team without being touched. Ishpeming came back in the third quarter with its only drive of the game. Wiinikainen and Alanko alternated in lugging the ball to the 16-yard strip, From there Winky charged over for the marker. ISHPEMING-19 MARQUETTE-19 Playing the most exciting game of the year, the Hematites deadlocked the Redmen at 19 all. Wiinikainen starred throughout the game, scoring every touchdown and making the longest individual run of 55 yards in the closing minutes of play and accounting for 64 of the 80 yards needed for the tying touchdown. ISHPEMING-0 NEGAUNEE-12 For the first half Ishpeming held the strong Negaunee eleven to a scoreless tie, repulsing a last minute scoring threat. In the second stan- za, however, the Blue and White defense crum- bled, and Negaunee scored twice. John Manzo- line, guard, played an outstanding defensive game for Ishpeming. ISHPEMING-O CALUMET-6 Calumet's only score came in the third period when Isabelle batted a pass away from one Cal- umet player, only to have another player catch it. Although the boys made eight first downs to Calumet's 2, they lacked sufficient drive to carry the ball over for a score. ISHPEMING-19 GLADSTONE-6 The Hematites brought their football season to a happy ending by defeating a heavily favor- ed Gladstone team. Wiinikainen scored the first touchdown in the first quarter. Bjorne dashed two yards around end for the second score and then sent a touchdown pass to Alanko. This game was probably the best the Hematites played for the year. The letter I was awarded to Thomas Hughes, Joe Ombrello, John Manzoline, Edward Seaquist, Henry Isabelle, James Willey, Gustic Alanko, Clarence Ayotte, Cecil Tonkin, Joe Ed- lund, Wallace Bjorne, Gordon Grigg, Stanley Wii- nikainen, Keith LeClair, Kenneth Nowell, and Robert Maki. Stanley Wiinikainen was elected honorary captain by the lettermen at the end of the season. The following lettermen return for the football season of 1944: Thomas Hughes, Joe Ombrello, John Manzoline, Clarence Ayotte, Gordon Grigg, Keith LeClair, and Robert Maki.

P1 ue Sixty-Your ISI-IPEMING-19 STAMBAUGH-24 The Hematites dropped their opening game to a Well-organized Stambaugh quintet. The game was very close with Ishperning leading in the Opening minutes. The visitors had a tight defense which troubled the team. ISHPEMING-27 IRON MOUNTAIN-34 It was a nip and tuck battle all of the way. The score was tied 27-27 with only a few minutes left to play when Iron Mountain broke loose with a sudden scoring flurry. Constantini of Iron Mountain and Wiinikainen shared high-point honors with 18 apiece. ISHPEMING-35 MUNISING-7 A green Munising squad proved no match for the Hematites. Munising was outscored in every period. Coach Watson used every player on the squad in this game. ISHPEMING-33 ESCANABA-26 This was one of the best games Ishpeming played for the season. The Hematites had trou- ble in stopping Ranguette, Escanaba pivot star, who 'scored 17 points. Ishpeming, however, countered with a more diversified scoring attack and better ball handling. ISHPEMING-34 NEGAUNEE-31 Displaying a good offense and defense, Ish- peming triumphed over their traditional rivals. Each side made an equal number of field goals, but Ishpeming capitalized on its free throws. Ayotte led the scoring with 12 points. ISHPEMING-25 MARQUETTE-19 Leading the Graveraet Redmen throughout the game, Ishpeming won its fourth straight vic- tory. A tight Ishpeming defense held Doyle of Marquette, high scorer, for -the district, to seven points. ISHPEMING-19 S00-35 After a rugged game the night before and a long trip to the Sault, the Hematites proved no match for the Soo six-footers. The Soo, rated as the best cage team in the U. P., lost no time in finding the net. However, the I-Iematites out- scored the Soo in the last half. Ayotte was high point man. ISHPEMING--24 ESCANABA-34 Defeated earlier in the season by the Hem- atite-s, 'the Escanaba quint came back strong and evened matters by defeating the Ishpeming cagers. Wiinikainen was high point man, scor- ing all but six of the Hematites points. ISHPEMING-28 GLADSTONE-19 Outscoring the Gladstone team in every per- iod but one, the Hema-tites returned home with a well-earned victory. Wiinikainen took scoring honors for the evening with 11 points. ISI-IPEMING-27 MARQUETTE-23 Playing a fast, close game that ended in a 10 to 10 deadlock at the half, the Hematites came home with a hard-earned victory. Wiinikainen again 'took scoring honors with 12 points. ISHPEMING-24 soo-ss Playing a tight defensive first half, the Hem- atites held the Soo six-footers to a 9 to 9 dead- lock. In the second half, however, the Blue Devil-s began hitting the basket at regular inter- vals and went home still unbeaten for the sea- son. ISHPEMING-30 NEGAUNEE-39 In a fast, wild game in which the Hematites trailed all the way, the Negaunee quint evened up the tally after their early season setback. Lampi, of Negaunee, regularly found the basket to keep Negaunee in the lead, while scoring was evenly divided among the Hematites. ISI-IPEMING-23 NEGAUNEE426 Although the Hematites were trailing 16 to 8 at half-time, they came back strong in the last quarter to take a 21 to 22 lead, but the Negaunee team checked them at this point and copped the county championship. Wiinikainen was high point man, scoring 9 points. Isl-IPEMING-31 NEWBERRY-18 After a slow start, the Hematites opened up with a barrage of baskets in the last quarter to end the regular playing season with a home victory. Wiinikainen, our star center, alone made 20 points. This was more than the entire Newberry team scored in the game. Page Sixty-Five DISTRICT TOURNAMENT ISHPEMING-37 MUNISING-15 Ishpeming drew Munising for the first game of the district tournament and obtained a com- paratively easy victory over them. Ishpeming outscored their opponents in every quarter and were never behind throughout the game. Le- Clair was high point man with 12 points. ISHPEMING-27 SOO-36 In the second game of the tournament the I-Pematites met the powerful Soo team for the third time in the season. Soo gained an early lead, and the first quarter ended 11-3. Ishpem- ing, however, came back strongly in the second quarter, holding their opponents to 3 points and earning 11 points to end the first half 14-14. In the third quarter the Hematite defense crumbled, and Soo went on to win their fifteenth straight victory. Ishpeming ended the season with eight vic- tories and eight defeats. The team scored 443 points to their opponents 426 points. High- lights of the season were victories over Escanaba and Negaunee, the teams that met in the finals for the U. P. Class B Championship, held at Ish- peming, March 16, 17, 18. Those awarded letters at the end of the sea- son were Gustie Alanko, Clarence Ayotte, Wal- lace Bjorne, Raymond Flynn, Alfred Goethe, Henry Isabelle, Keith LeClair, Martin Lehtinen, and Stanley Wiinikainen. Four of these letter- men, Ayotte, Grigg, LeC1air, and Lehtinen, will return next year. I GYM EXHIBIT The biennial gym exhibit was held on May 26, 1944.

JUNE Baccalaureate. 11- 14-Class Night! 15-Senior Banquet!! -Commencement!!! Page Seventy-One FROM MODERN AESOPS FIDO There was a devastating war between the Kingdom of Cats and the Kingdom of Dogs. It was necessary to have a conscription law, but Fido was among the group of evaders. One day he received a long important-looking envelope containing his questionnaire, but Fido bluffed through that. Ha! Ha! he would bark to his patriotic friends, They'll never get meg I've outvsmarted them . Somehow or other the D. B. I. fthe Dogs' Bureau of Investigationl caught up to him and clamped him by the neck into the penitentiary. Moral-It's far wiser -to be caught in the draft, then by the neck. -IRMA ISAACSON A FOX AND A LAMB One sunny afternoon a little Lamb begged her mother to let her go out to play. Her mother agreed on the condition that she talk to no strangers but play only with the other lambs. The Lamb promised faithfully that she would not put one foot outside the meadow. For a little while she romped, skipped and frisked about with her little friends. After about an hour, however, she became discontented and wandered off by herself to a far corner of the meadow sniffing the flowers along the other side of the fence. The Fox saw this plump, tempting mor- sel and slinking up to the edge of the fence ask- ed her why she stayed inside the fence when she could -smell the flowers so much better outside. Well, bleated the Lamb, I promised my mother I'd stay inside. That's nothing, purred the Fox, she won't mind if you come just out here. You'll be safe with IT16 '7 Disregarding her promise to her mother, she scampered over the fence. No sooner had she done so, than the Fox seized her and gobbled her up. Moral-Pay heed to your mother's warning, and she won't have to wear mourning. -FRANCES ROTI THE SAD STORY OF PATRICIA PEACOCK Miss Patricia Peacock stood pruning herself before her full-length mirror. She was care- fully plucking each discolored feather from her gay fan. My, I 'shall surely be the belle of the Fine Feathered ball, she simpered as she curtsied to her reflection. Tirelessly she labored all day, discarding each feather of untrue color. So long and diligently did she preen herself that in her darkened room she could no longer see her pleasing image, but she left for the ball, singing original ballads of her coming night of heartbreaking. Fine gentlemen shall dance with me, And ay my beauty softened be. Tra la la, I shall be a wife! Tra la la, happy for life! But there was only one heart broken that night-Miss Patricia Peacock's, for her lovely feathers lay like a hill of soft butterflies before the looking glass where she had cast them in her zeal. Moral-Beauty is often unimproved by arti- ficial devices, and pride precedes a fall, -DONNO INIAE SNYDER Page Seventy-Two THE RECKLESS BRAGGART Two Geese flying over a village noticed a spot upon which they could rest and refresh themselves before continuing onward. Goose number one, being a veteran of many migration -trips, said to the other, We'd better flutter down and rest before resuming our way . Goose number two, being a newcomer on these trips, quacked back, You can go down and rest, but I'm not. I'm continuing until I reach my new home . So the reckless braggart flew on, while his companion rested. A few days later, the Wise old goose came quacking along and suddenly dropped earthward, for there his keen eyes had detected -the remains of his fellow traveler ly- ing on the earth's bed. He burrowed a grave in the soil and mournfully placed his dear friend into it. Morals-Never overestimate your strength and endurance. Listen to your elders. -ROBERT RICHARDSON THE MISFORTUNES OF BILLY FROG Bill Frog decided it was too lovely a day to go to school, for he'd much rather lie in the sun all morning and afternoon. After carefully avoiding all the other frog students, he found a perfect lily pad in the middle of the stream, where he 'sat to bask in the sun. He' had not sooner settled himself than Bull Frog, the truant officer, came along and told Billy to go back to school and do his lessons. Now Billy thought school and lessons were a waste of good time so he stayed where he was. He didn't remain there long, for grandfather Pike came swimming through the weeds with a famished look in his eyes and promptly devoured Billy. Moral-It is always better to do things We should whether we want to or not, for sooner or later we'll be sorry for not having done them. -CONNOR COWPLAND THE WORM AND THE FISH One day a man was fishing in a stream. Up until now he had been unsuccessful, and he was down to his last Worm. Well, here goes my last chance , he muttered to himself, and he baited his hook and put it in the water. A fish came by and upon seeing the Worm, swam towards it. Ah, a nice, big juicy Worm, and I'm pretty hungry, smiled the Fish. Oh, please don't eat me. I'm almost dead now. This hook is killing me, moaned the Worm. t'Please leave me alone or you'll be a fried Fish before supper time, the Worm said emphatically. Now, now, Worm, don't try to wriggle out of this predicament. Prepare to die. No! No! Anything but that. Don't you realize I'm trying to save your life , pleaded the Worm. Don't quibble. All I want is a little nibble, grinned the Fish. You'll be sorry, moaned the Worm. The Fish nibbled, the Worm shriveled, and the hook snuggled into Mr. Fish's mouth. Up came the pole, another angler smiled. Moral-Never consider yourself too superior to heed good advice. -ELLSWORTH SCI-IRODERUS FROM MODERN AESOPS THE WORM th' One day as the Worm was inching his way Ulugh old man Groogan's victory garden, he Came UDOI1 a mess of old and young anglers, as rnan Groogan's young son called them, peer- old ing and SQ'-lihting at a newspaper headlined, Sparks Staples in the Spotlight . Below was a lI11Cture ofthe most handsome worm he had ever Egin- I-Ils coat was something only kings wish me:Ahf glowed the Worm, that's the life for Klsofut an old worm in a rasping voice said, fe dl you ale well situated, plenty of plants to 6 on, an appetlzlng vlctory garden to roam in, and plenty of trusty friends. I advise you not to entertaln such thoughts of an easy life. It's just not for you. The worm crowed, You old conservative, and crawled home deep in thought. That night he Packed an extra pair of socks, a clean shirt, and his zoot suit in a clean bean leaf, slung it over h1S shoulder, and started out to find a career ln the movies. He slipped and squirmed until finally he managed to climb over a big potato out onto Mr. Groogan's lawn. After traveling for almost an hour, he spotted a light up ahead. It was a glaring light, Probably the spotlight and fame I'm looking for, cried he. The light came nearer and nearer and when it lit upon the Worm he expanded his muscles and glowed in all his beauty like Sparks Staples. Swish, he found himself lifted high into the air to be grotpped roughly into a bait can as future fish al . Moral-Don't envy other people's position if yours is satisfactory. -KEITH LECLAIR THE CAT AND HER OBSESSION A true sign of feline femininity has always been a certain propensity toward curiosity. The Cat, who is the subject of thi-s bit of prose, was no exception to the rule. It hardly seemed the day for disaster as the Cat meandered down the street scrutinizing everything and everybody. Suddenly she halt- ed, aware of the new face among the townspeo- ple. Then spying one of her friends across the way, she scurried over to Tom Cat and proceeded to harass him with a barrage of inquiries. Who is that Airedale? she purred. Fox Terrier's cousin, spat Tom Cat. What is he doing in town,'?H Vi-siting, I imagine. Where is he frofm?,' persisted the Cat. I don't know, hissed old Tom, who was be- coming very impatient under the third degree. While the Cat was examining the newcomer, her masculine friend attempted to slink away quietly. It was in vain, however, because the Cat just followed him and pressed him for more information. A calamity it was, indeed ,that the unfortun- ate feline did not have her ears open to the sounds of the street, else she would have heard the hoarse honk of the transport vehicle's horn. Death was instantaneous and the mangled corpse of thc curious Cat was viewed by all witnesses V-ith none of the usual post mortem grief for they all lcncw her nature. Moral-Unnecessary curiosity sometimes .-lluscs unnecessary accidents. -MARJORIE GOTHE THE DOG AND THE FLEAS There was once a Collie who was bothered with fleas, and who told every other dog his troubles in hope of finding some remedy. Final- ly one bright spring day a Poodle, who certainly ought to have been a walking-game sanctuary if any dog was, came up and began telling of a simple way of killing the pests. l It's simply marvelous! he said with a glow of pride. First I smother them with du-st from the river bank, and then I half drown them while I take a swim, and before you know it, the fleas are gone. None of the other dogs have tried it, though, and besides, I've heard that swimming too much in the river is bad for the lungs, said the Col- lie, scratching away at one of hi-s little friends who was feasting on his ear. I think I'll just wait and see if this idea has any bad points. Months passed, and the Collie wasted' rapidly away, being too occupied with hunting down fleas to even eatg while the Poodle was healthier than he had ever been. Finally, in desperation, the Collie -tried the dust-and-water cure, and in- deed, he remarked, he felt much better. How- ever, the river froze that night and the Collie found himself still bothered with a great many fleas. Oh, I wish I'd taken these treatments be- fore 'the river froze. Now I'll have to scratch these varmints all win-ter! he moaned to his friend the Poodle. Moral--Do not procrastinate. -WALTER HANSEN THE MISSING TAIL A group of mice were playing follow-the- leader, each holding the tail of the mouse in front of him. They all seemed to be enjoying them- selves immensely except one little fellow who stood apart froml the rest of the players. His name was Mickey. I wish I could play, he sighed. One of his brothers overheard him and said. You can't play because you haven't any tail! Mickey turned away to hide a tear, and sud- denly an idea popped into his head. I'll show them, he said, I'll have a tail yet! He CXDl0I'0d the attic and at last wa-s rewarded, for thcre in a corner was a thin piece of rope. Just what he was looking for! Gleefully he scampered up to his Mother and said, Mother, WOU1d YOU Please glue this on for me? . H He tripped Over to the players and SZ1ld,. I have a tail now, so let me play.

Wasted, for Jerry had caught him by the al Aha, now I've got you. said Jerry, but just then there was a snap, and Jerry was left sitting there holding a piece of rope in his mouth. Moral-Be content with what you have, be- cause sometimes the things you wish for are not always as bright as they may seem. -SHIRLEY TIPPETT Page Seventy-'l'lll'.1e A STEEL BRACE SNAPS The spray was shooting into the air, and the foam Was flying as I sped over the water at the terrific speed of forty miles per hour. What was it I was riding in'that made me feel as if a bucking b1'0DC0 Were under me? It was just a little boat called a hydroplane, which was just seven feet long and only three and one half feet wide. In fact, the craft was so small that every time I moved to look over the side I felt as if I were going to fall out! Waves, three or four inches high, hit the bottom of the boat so hard it sounded as if someone were pounding on it with a sledge hammer, Most of the time the propel- ler was the only part in the water, and the boat rode along on the tops of the waves. I was bouncing along, scared stiff, when I noticed the handle of the motor with which I was steering seemed to be jiggling. Not know- ing what to expect, I turned around slowly to look at the motor. I could tell without having a mir- ror in front of me that my face was white, for there was the backboard, motor and all, moving back and forth, and water was pouring in every- where. The main steel brace had snapped under all the strain, and every one of the screws that held the backboard on had pulled loose. I headed for shore as fast as the boat would go, and about twenty feet out I cut the engine and hoped for the best. The boat stopped so quickly it seemed as though a brick wall had come between it and the shore. the backboard and motor Then I secured with a rope, and my father came over and towed me back to our dock in a row boat. We then carried the boat to dry land and after working a while, it was ready to give someone else a thrilling experience. -JOHN ALLEN THE THREE LITTLE PIGS An old mother pig said to her three young boys, You're old enough now to stop playing with toys And go out into the world and work for your- selves And stop eating the food from your poor mother's shelves . The good mother warned them to be on the lookout For the hungry old wolf who is always about. She said, I-Ie is smart and he eats every pig That he catches, no matter how small or how big . Each of the pigs pursued his own way, But the first two forgot what their mother did say. The first out of straw his home did make, And the force of the wind made it shiver and shake. The next little pig bought a load of wood And built him a house just as fast as he could. The shingles were loose, and the framework was weak, For the house had been built in less than a week. The house of the third pig was made out of brick, And the walls were constructed both sturdy and thick. Page Seventy-Four I-Ie worked hard and long before it was done, While his brothers did nothing but loaf and have fun. The fierce old wolf soon came looking for food And discovered the houses He took a deep breath and And devoured the pigs as The next house he found brick, But it would not collapse, trick. of straw and of wood. blew down each house a cat does a mouse. was the one made of though he tried every He finally decided, after a pause, That he'd go down the chimney like old Santa Claus. The third pig had sensed what his next move would be And made the fire just as hot as could be. The kettle was on and the water boiled, The wolf's brilliant plan would surely be foiled. The villain descended to meet his doom, His screams of agony filled the room. His life was soon claimed by the shadow of deathg The Big Bad Wolf had breathed his last breath. -GORDON GILL AS THOSE CAISSONS GO ROLLING ALONG u I stared in dismay at the dejected wreck ly- ing before us. Are We going to ride on that? was the question that rose to my lips. It was an old fafm Wagon, something like an army caisson mi- nfls Phe tongue, the box, and much of its former dlgnlty. It was connected loosely in the center and was steered with the feet.

This down-hill jaunt was going to be a mild form of torture. The hill wasn'-t exactly a Beauty Rest and had more bumps and loops than the Brurma Road. But that wasn't all. If we nego- tiated this commando course there was a sturdy, barb-wire fence to cope with at the bottom, We hoped to hit between the posts, thus receiving the full benefit of the shock absorbent qualities of the slack wires. Overcoming my misgivings I clambered aboard With my comrades and winced as the W9-3011 gI'0aned under the combined weight of five howling, healthy boys. I clung precariously to the few square inches allotted me and closed my eyes as the last boy heaved our chariot over the brink of the precipice. We had received a good start and were thundering down the hill with the wheels screaming like Highland bagpipes when lt happened. As we topped a little rise a large rock rose mysteriously out of the grass ahead. The wheel struck it with a sickening crunch and nearly dislodged us from our seats. By throw- ing our weight out over the wheels we managed to stay right side up. We continued our hair- raising plunge, leaping and bounding like a frightened jeep. Due to the loss of 'two spokes in the epi-sode of the rock we lurched constantly. We had almost run the gauntlet when fate introduced the unexpected and entirely unfor- tunate. We found something for which we had searched in vain. It was the Wagon tongue, al- though now we weren't so glad to see it. The wheel struck it a glancing blow and was thrown from its course. The cart sprang like a stabbeda cat and plunged forward toward the fence. Before us was not the wires as planned but a great, ugly post. It loomed unavoidably before us looking as sturdy as an All-American tackle. With a final momentous leap the wagon plunged forward to its doom. We hit with a shock that jarred our teeth and tore me from my frugal finger-hold on -the frame. I felt myself flying up and out, but the floating feeling was not to last long. Benefited by my tumbling ex- perience I pushed my arms out and tucked my head in. I landed gently enough and with a minimum of damage although I rolled right across the road to find myself hanging over the edge of a ditch and staring blankly into the green water lappng below my head, while I murmured sweet nothings to myself. I shall spare you the horrible details of my subsequent recovery and discovery of the ruin wrought to the wagon, fence, and sulndry passengers by our wild ride. After inventory and classification of our assorted wounds, abrasions, and contusions, we sadly mounted our bikes and turned toward home. -KEITH LEHTO FOUR LEAF CLOVERS I AS y0u've played over the soft green, grass in the summer, I am sure you have often picked four leaf clovers and have felt that as long as you carried them with you no ill luck would come to you. But have you ever wondered why some clovers have three leaves and others, four? In the days when the Muses held their court on Clover Hill, the children would awake to find beautiful pink and white blossoms dropped by the Muses during their meetings. For a long time the Muses took great delight in leaving the children these blossoms, but soon the children ceased to notice the flowers, for they had seen them so often and there were so many that they were no longer a rarity. When the clovers saw that the children no longer cared for them, they hung their heads and felt that life was not worth living. When the Muses came to hold their court, they were alarmed and said, Why do you hang your heads and weep? Hold up your heads and be happy. UNO , said the clovers, there is no use to hold up our heads, for the children have ceased to care for us. Shame! little clovers, said the Muses. We are here for our dance and need you for our soft carpet. Still the clovers did not raise their heads. The Muses who were very much worried, told the trouble to their queen of dancing, who was Terpsichore. Greatly grieved by this, Terpsi- chore said to the clovers, Now, my little clovers, if you raise your heads and make a soft carpet for our dance tonight, you shall be rewarded. UNO , said the clove1's, if We raise our heads for your dance, our leaves will be only bruised. That is true , said the queen, but for every bruised leaf you shall receive an extra leaf, and children will spend many happy hours hunting for clovers which have four leaves. Over the clover field heads were rising and it was as the queen had said. For every bruised leaf the clovers were given an extra leaf. Ever since, we have valued the four leaf clovers for the good luck it brings. --GOLDIE FREDERICKSON Page Seventy-Five TOO CURIOUS Ah! a perfect day for a walk in the woods. I'm on my way, gun in my arm, and the sun burning like a pocket of jingle, jangle, jingle. I believe I'll head for that hill about a mile beyond this field. Oh, it's getting warm! I'll have to find a cool, shady spot below tthe cliff. Well, it's time to go again, but wait a minute. What was that noise I heard under this rock I'm sitting on? I'll have to crawl into this hole and see what's in there. What is that shining in there, round, and white as snow? It could be an anima1's eye. Wow! A porcupine! Re- treating with great speed, I cocked the gun and awaited the quill covered beast. Here he comes. Bang! Bang! Bang! Yaaaaaa! The porcu- pine died screaming like those Jap snipers in the South Pacific islands. I'll never get to that hill if I don't move on. -ALBERT JOHNSON SPRING SIGNS I heard the sea-gulls calling, I saw their white wings spread. And though the snow is falling I know spring's just ahead. The winds are blowing fiercely, And though they are still shrill They'll soon be gentle breezes That wake the daffodil. The lake's a gray ice platter, But I'll tell you what I saw- A little pussy willow Thrust out a silv'ry paw. The golden sun climbs higher, It's warmer day by day. And my thoughts are always drifting To a camp not far away. -PAT POTTER WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? In th boys won four successive basketball games from three Seniors.

The passage read: We have never had a male servant in our house. Henry Isabelle's version: We have never had a domesticated male in our house. Mr. Renz insists we cover our papers when- ever we have a test in Senior English. Marian H., who is also our Valedictorian, was arguing about it with him. Marian: I-t's silly! I hate to have my paper covered with a book all the time. Frank LaV., sitting at the same table, sighed! So do I! In an oral quiz Mr. Farrell did not. accept Betty Ring's answer as correct..
