Auld Lang Syne l I PRESIDENTS ADDRESS Speaking for the members of the Class of 1945 I bid you welcome to our Commencement Exercises. This night has been our goal for most of our livesg we have awaited, partly in joy and partly in sorrow, the anticipation of the unfolding future, but the sorrow over an empty place that it will leave in our everyday lives, This school has molded a major part of us like a great skillful sculptor. One year ago, the graduates of the 1944 class sat in these same places and were told by their President of ,the challenge confronting them. The clouds were darker then. Now even though we can lift up our heads and face the future with new resolve, our task is still a challenge, because the prospect of peace is always more challenging than fighting a war, We all have our ideals and ideas about happi- ness and peace, the ideals which most of us have in common are freedom and liberty. It is dif- ficult to define these terms, but we of the grad- uating class have lived for at least sixteen or sevent-een years without knowing anything ex- cept freedom and self-expression. Some of us in a few months will be fighting for these things, fighting so others might have a chance to en- joy th-em---people of France, Poland, China, and many other countries. Ours is a world of service, service of the in- dividual, Ours is a nation of service. Our in- dividual lives should strengthen and preserve the truths we hold to be self-evident. We can serve our city, our country, our God. We can serve the other fellow and he in turn will Serve us. Our motto is Looking ahead to a brighter day, and with this service idea in mind we, the Class of 1945, should not sit idly waiting and hoping for that day, but should strive to begin our new life with a conviction that we as in- dividuals can help make the world a little brighter. Here we are, at the end of a trail and at the beginning of a new one. All our lives will be a succession of trails that end and start at vari- ous intervals, But this end and this beginning is most significant in our lives, The trail that we have finished for most of us has been straight and smooth, but widening day by day. We will need great strength to keep our future trail straight and broaden our vision, to widen our path beyond the view of ignorance and pre- judice. With the help of our mothers, fathers, teachers, and friends we can hope for a well marked, well banked highway to a better to- morrow, This is the beginning of our Commencement exercises, this is the beginning of tue end of our high school days. This whole week will be one of the most pleasant in our treasure chest of memories. On behalf of the graduating class I would like to thank all who have had a part in making this possible, our parents, teachers, and many friends, May your wise counsel' and en- couragement bear rich fruit. May your hopes for us be realized. May we all confidently Look forward to a brighter day. -KEITH C. LECLAIR CLASS HISTORY-STATISTICS We, the members of the Class of 1945, have completed our formal education in the Ishpem- ing schools. The past four years of our high school days have been four years of strain and difficulty for our country, four years of blood- shed and brutality for the world, and four years of advancement and learning for us as students. Now, with victory over both of our enemies as- sured, we are faced with the problem not only of establishing and maintaining a peace, but of understanding and appreciating the privileges and freedoms that, as Americans, we have en- joyed. To safeguard the nation from subversive foreign influence, and from destructive internal danger, the people must be well informed, phys- ically fit, and mentally alert, Let us examine the graduating class to see what preparation it has had for such requirements, Most of us began school in September of 1932, at which time 143 were enrolled in the local kindergarten. The present graduating class numbers only 76, which is small in comparison with former years. Of this number 84W have always attended the school systems of Ishpelning. Four who entered as seniors this year, Andrew DellAngelo, Norman Hoiem, Roy Oja, and Keith Forsberg are already in the service. Three others, who were in school until their junior year, Roland Hill, James Willey, and Robert Olds, have been in service for a year or more. The influence of the home is of great im- portance in molding the characteristics and qualities desirable in the future world, In an analysis of our home background, we find that a. surprisingly small percentage, only 43W of the class, had foreign-born parents, compared with 59W of last year's class. Forty-two per cent of the fathers are in some way connected with mining, our chief industry. Six of us speak some language other than English at home. The fact that divorce and separation are practically non-existent shows that we have the basis for a happy home life, Seventeen of us have lost a parent. The increased need for labor may ac- count for the fact .that 23 9? of our mothers work outside of the home, compared with only 127 of last year's class, Twenty-two of the seniors are trusted with the family car on occasion, and a majority of us, 46, are licensed drivers, Half of the class own bicycles. A majority of the class members have small chores to do around the house. The home, then, is aiding in develop- ing the character and the sense of responsibility that is necessary for carrying out the duties im- posed upon us by life in a democracy. The ancestry of the seniors as a group 'fol- lows the general pattern of past years, as might be expected, since we do not have a migratory population. This year the Finnish are the pre- dominating group, although they are not in the majority. The Swedish come next, with the English, French, Italian, Irish, Scotch, German, Danish, and Norwegian following in that Order. Our formal education has included the stand- ard high school courses, with 31 seniors grad- uating from the Science Course, 12 from the General, 11 from the Commercial, 10 from the Manual Arts, 7 from the History and Social Science, and 5 from the Home Economics Course. Running parallel with this formal education Page Twent y-Three we find ano.ther phase of our development. The extra-curricular activities are of incalculable importance. This is evident when we realize that the Army, when seeking officer candidate material, seldom considers men who have had little or no participation in these co-curricular groups. In this field the school provides ath- letics, forensics, vocal and instrumental organi- zations, debate, service clubs, and other char- acter-building societies, That we have partici- pated in these wholeheartedly is shown by the following survey: 35 have been members of a vocal organization, and 15 of band or orchestra, 21 have had the benefit of experience in the Forum, 9 were active in forensics, while 4 have been on the debate squad, 13 have shared re- sponsibilities on the Student Council, 18 have been members of the Commercial Club, and 12 of the boys belong to Hi-Y, Eleven boys have participated in interscholastic basketball or foot- ball. A forward-moving nation must have a healthy population, both for peacetime pursuits, and for emergency service. The school has done its full share to keep us in good condition. All students- are required to take gym and pool except when they are excused by a physician's permit, and it is interesting to note that only two boys were unable to enter into the physical education pro- gram, and 10 girls were excused from pool. Al- though none of us has had a complete physical examination during the past year, we have had periodic check-ups of teeth, -eyes, hair, and ears, by .the school nurse. All but 6 of us have had lung X-rays taken. Sixty per cent have had vaccinations for smallpox. While on the sub- ject of health, we note that 22 have had their tonsils removed, and 9 have been operated on for appendicitis. Recognizing .the need for training in poise, courtesy, and etiquette, the school has made pro- vision for the social side of our education. A large number of us have taken advantage of the opportunities offered us in the way of parties, proms, and .the like. Over 60W have attended most of the school parties, of which there are several each year. Twenty-.three have attended at least one of the annual proms, and three of the girls have been so fortunate as to have been invited to three proms! The broadening effect of travel should not be overlooked, All of us have been outside of Mar- quette County, and most of us, all but 6, have .traveled beyond the limits of the Upper Penin- sula, Sixteen of us have been to Canada, and 3 have ventured into Mexico, Four of our group have visited California, the farthest state from Michigan. It is almost superfluous to say that the war has influenced our lives and activities to a great extent. Besides aiding in paper, tin can, and bond drives, 58W of the class members have taken part-time jobs in stores, offices, garages, and other industrial places in Ishpeming. The employers of these students have made encour- aging and complimentary comments in the 'ma- jority of cases. The instances where the boy or girl has failed to live up to a high standard are in the minority. This would indicate that the training we have been receiving is bearing fruit, and that both as a group and individually we will be able to take our place in the jobs of the future, The average earning of the total class per week is S187.90, which is reccived for 463 hours of work. This is less than the last year's class earned per week, but the average wage is higher-42c an hour, as compared with 38c an hour last year. Perhaps our biggest contribution to the war effort has been our purchase of war bonds and stamps amounting to approximately 51200. During our survey of the activities and quali- fications of the seniors, we have spoken of the challenge that the future holds, That we have faith in ourselves and in our nation is indicated by the fact that 26 of us have definite plans for the post-war period, Three expect to engage in business, 4 think industry offers opportunities, 8 hope to enter college, 1 intends to make the Navy his profession, and 10 girls have chosen the nursing field with its allied branches, Several girls indicate that they will select home-making for their career. The period immediately follow- ing graduation is indefinite. Most of the boys will be entering the service, and many of the girls will go into defense industry, or enter cadet nurse training. With this background of a well-rounded edu- cation and with the security of happy homes to reassure us, I believe we can face the problems of the future with confidence and courage. In- spired by the devotion and sacrifice of our fight- ing men, we pledge ourselves to the preservation of the freedom for which so many of our school- mates are already fighting. --WALTER HANSEN CLASS GIFTATORY-PROPHECY Setting: A forest scene Time: The present-early morning Cast, in order of appearance: Owl ............................

Apollo encountered him and after a. fearful combat, slew him, In memory of this heroic conquest, he instituted the Pythian games. Later the Greeks began the Olympic games in honor of Jupiter. For days the people met to hold contests of all kinds in friendly rivalry. Sculptors immortalized them in marble, artists in great paintings, and poets in odes. The vic- tprs occupied a place of honor in their commun- 1 y. One no longer has to be a star to play, but the love of sports has come down through the ages from the ancient Greeks to the youngsters of to- day and has led to the competition between the various high schools of the nation in football, track, swimming, baseball, and basketball. The sport with which we are most corfcerned to- night is a general favorite with both players and audiences. This game was first introduced in 1891 and has grown rapidly in popularity since that time until today even the smallest high school is interested in it. To the players, basketball af- fords an opportunity to develop both mentally and physically. They learn muscular coordina- tion, quick thinking and acting, endurance, and above all, leadership, teamwork, and sportsman- ship. Not only to the team but also .to the spec- tators there are pleasures to be derived from this game, The players are few, but to every per- son in the crowded gymnasium there is a feel- ing that he is taking part in the game. Realizing that in order to play well the team must have the best -equipment, we, the Class of 1945, have chosen as our memorial, new back- boards for the gymnasium. These new back- boards have many advantages over the old. They are space savers being fan-shaped instead of square, more durable because they are steel, and they present a better appearance, N-either the audience nor the team will remem- ber them in connection with our class, but any of us who may be on the sidelines will feel a sense of pride that we were able to contribute to the success of our team and to our school which has done so much for us. -MARY LEE ANDREW SALUTATORY MEETING THE CHALLENGE It is with sincere gratitude that I, as a mem- ber of the class of 1945, welcome you, our parents and friends to this our commencement program. Today we are willing to concede that we are living in one of the darkest of eras in the world history, for we have seen boundary lines erased, treaties torn to shreds, liberties trampled under- foot, and governments overthrown. Even though the constitution of the United States, established one hundred and fifty-six years ago, has insured the existence of our way of life, our goverment is being menaced by the indifference, ignorance, and discontent of its citizens as wen as by the evil forces of Japanism and Naziism, Though this picture appears unpromising, doesn't it challenge us to protect and preserve the hard- won rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness? Aren't we obligated to keep alive, at any cost, the precious freedom for which our ances- tors struggled so valiantly and sacrificed so much? We realize that since a democracy depends for its vitality and existence upon the character of Page Twenty-Six its citizens, the freedoms that Americans have always held dearer than life itself can be main- tained only by an alert, educated, self-confident citizenry. That means then that the well-being of our country will depend upon our development and growth as individuals, for in 8. democracy immense value is placed upon every il1fiiVfdUa1- Therefore, if we, as tomorrow's citizens, fail be- cause of apathy, ignorance, and indifference to participate in the affairs of the community and to guard jealously the freedoms that we cherish, we alone will be responsible for the downfall of our government. In order to meet and solve the problems of life in a democracy we must be eager to make the most of the opportunities presented us as individuals and be able to lead happy, satisfying lives in the years that lie ahead. The possession of self-confidence, which de- pends on our knowing what abilities and talents we have and how we can make the most of them, is a fundamental requisite for successful living and participation in governmental activi- ties, Within each of us are implanted potential- ities which must be discovered and then used adequately. What a loss it would have been to the scientific world if Madam Curie had failed us upon the .tragic death of her husband by fold- ing her hands and had minimized herself by saying, I am just a person. I can do nothing I nave no ability. Instead Madam Curie an- nounced to the world, I will continue my re- search, for I have confidence, but little else. Likewise what progress would have been made in the processes of healing if Florence Nightin- gale had said, I am just one woman. I can ac- complish nothing alone. Yet after the medical men had retired upon the completion of their day's work, the light of a single lamp could be seen moving from cot to cot, Florence Night- ingale helped not only herself, but thousands oi others, as her efforts led to the formation of the Red Cross. These two women applied to their work their fullest inspiration and trust. We ask, Were Madam Curie and Florence Night- ingale exceptional? Yes, they were, but in faith only. The world was made richer as a result of their having lived, They clearly showed us that the great works of the world begin with one person, for as Emerson states, A great in- stitution is but the lengthened shadow of a simple man. We must remember that it is man who creates, not the organization, for every institution is built by the initiative and enthusi- asm of some individual. For example, it was organization that enabled Caesar to form the Roman Empire, yet it was Caesar who created it. Certainly institutions have contributed to American progress, but hasn't America been built by the initiative and enthusiasm of Wash- ington, Franklin, Bell, and a host of others? Let us remember that a young man of little faith will say, I am nothing and a young man of understanding, I am everything! Upon grad- uation le.t us be men and women of great faith, ready to take our part in the construction of the postwar world, The second fundamental I wish to discuss is independent thought, as it is important that we as individuals plan the life we wish to lead, If we refuse to think, we are abandoning ourselves to the mold provided by our neighbors. It is not easy to think independently, because we are almost exact replicas of our fellow citizens, Since we are confronted with mass-mindedness which permeates American society, we are anxious to conform to the standards of the majority, and furthermore a welter of clever advertising in- sists that we conform. But should we be sup- pressed by fear of group opinion and submerged under a vast heap of artificial standards? As a result of a bitter experience on a Maine stage- coach while a boy, Theodore Roosevelt planned his way of living and then dared to strive for it in the face of stern opposition. This required courage, thought, and determination, yet he learned from this experience and independent thinking his possibilities of life, thus becoming a man who was fashioned and girded to accom- plish what he wished. People who refuse to be automatons and insist upon being individuals possess the individuality which is most essential to the working of a democracy. Today more than ever before, the men and women who dare to be themselves and who know with Emerson that Life only avails, not the having lived are needed to preserve and protect our democracy, As we take our places in the world of tomorrow, we must remember that by seeking always the best that is within us and by living up to it fear- lessly and also by accepting the best of the past we will be prepared to assume the responsibili- ties of adult citizenry and to take advantage of the opportunities offered us. Through faith in ourselves we will enjoy the satisfaction that comes from living life to the full and furthering the life of our democracy. Thus in a land of opportunity where every chance beckons we can reach the peaks of achievement, and as Robert M. Hutchins states, We can do no better than to seek the fullest development of our highest powers and dedicate them to the service of the community. Let us accept the challenge stated by Carolyn Kiyla in Stars Through The Perilous Night : Pick up your feet, Youth! ' Shoulder your burden Youth! That, too, is your heritage, For we see ahead of us down the road over the river, around the corner our gleaming des- tiny, We see the kind of world that we want to live in, the kind of world we can build. -MARY VAUGHN HENNESSEY NOBLER MODES OF LIFE In Leigh Hunt's little story Abou Ben Ad- hem Abou is wakened from his dneams, and he sees an angel writing in a book, When he asks the angel what he is writing the angel replies, The names of those who love the Lord. Abou asks if his name is among them, and the angel says, No. Abou then asks the angel to enter his name as one who loves his fellow men. The next night the angel returned. When Abou looked at the book this time, his name was above all the rest, In this little story the author shows how love of God and love of fellow men are inseparable. As Jesus once said, That which you have done to the humblest human creature, you have done to me, In this world of misery nothing could so much allay the suffering as a Widespread adoption of a love for fellow men. This ideal can be applied in everyday life by maintaining a friendly and generous attitude toward everyone. It can be applied in the post- war world, where there will certainly be depres- sions and unemployment, starvation-even in this country. There will be much opportunity for society to apply the rule of love for fellow men. The less fortunate will need the help of all who are better situated. If a world organization is to succeed, every nation must put aside some of its selfish interests for the good of all and peace for all, The world has never had a greater need than it has right now for the id-cal of love for fellow men. The influence of Christianity seems to be decreasing. The voic-e of the churches of Christ sounds feeble. Religion today plays a minor role in the lives of many. In too many cases people have no connection with any church, and often to those who belong to a church their member- ship and attendance are merely a formality and therefore have littlc influence on their lives. Page Twenty-Seven Too many of us seem to be immersed in a ruth- less pagan philosophy, a philosophy which justi- fies us in riding rough-shod over all those who are weaker or less fortunately situated than we are, VVe have no qualms about taking advantage of othtrs, What if we deprive them of their her- itage? What if we mutilate or murder a few of them? In our grasping for power, wealth, and glory we trample on the weaker members of society. Clcverncss without conscience, strength without mercy-that seems to be the accept-ed philosophy. In business law there is a rule expressed in Latin: Caveat emptor --rs if the lawmakers were ashamed to say it invplain English. Let the buyer beware! That's the rule, Let the buyer beware. Our law permits sharp dealings in which the clever salesman is justified in cheat- ing the honest but ignorant customer, Swindle him, rob him, as long as you can remain secure. Man is sick-revoltingly sick. He is sick be- cause all his actions are for himself alone. He is unhappy, dangerous, because he can never be satisfied. More and more he demands in order to glut his greedy appetites. He wants to be richer, more glamorous, more irresistible. The venom of greed and lust has infected his entire soul. The sickness of the human race is revealed in economic depressions and unemployment, in man's frequent hopeless struggles for a living. The conflicts of man against man are often worse than the laws of the jungle. As a result of these conflicts we have chaotic war with its screaming death, gutted cities, ruined art treas- ures, twisted bodies and despairing minds, Other symptons of man's sickness are revealed in the rampant immorality, delinquency, divorce, crime, and bestiality. Men and women, and even chil- dren, are flocking to cheap shows, dance halls, night clubs, where drunkenness, profanity, rowd- iness and riot prevail. The results are broken homes, broken spirits, minds, and bodies. Man is frustrated. He is stuck In the mire of greed. His life is confusion, anxiety, restless- ness, aimlessness, and weariness. He has cast off the bonds of .tradition and has chained him- self to his animal desires. He has no solace but a flight from reality, He does not experience the sweet dream of peace that Abou Ben Ad- hein knew because he loved his fellow men, Civ- ilization, being infested with barbarism and sav- agery, has begun to decay. How evident that is in the world-wide attempt to destroy all that is good and beautiful! Civilization can be kept alive only through a rebirth of the good and the beautiful, through a spark of idealism that inspires and consoles us. We must not let that spark go out in our lives. We need new ideals and new philosophies, but these must be based on the firm foundation of love for fellow men. Society should not and must not permit its members to starve. By cooperation we can bind the wounds of the wretched. pay for their lodg- ings, as the Good Samaritan, the lover of man, did. There are many who lie by the wayside and whom society continues to ignore, This is not only the problem of the individual or the na- tion, but of the world. The principles of love for human beings should be the guiding rule at the conferences of nations. Not only individuals, but nations also, must lay aside their greed for pow- er. Unless the powers of .the world come armed with good will, they will never design a lasting peace. When man respects his fellow men, follows the Golden Rule, makes his laws in accordance with the laws of God: when in man's mind truth and reason prevailg when the human race is truly one, and the spirit of Christ is accepted by the world, then peace will come. The bells that ring for that peace will, in the words of Tennyson, Ring in the nobler modes of life, , . . Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand: Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. -JOHN CHILLMAN VALEDICTORY A CHALLENGE TO AMERICAN WOMEN During our years of war the men of our na- tion have been exhorted constantly about their duties to their ocuntry, So great have their responsibilities been to their motherland that they have had to be willing to give up their dearest possessions, even to yielding up their last breath. It is time, however, that we stop to con- sider that it is not men alone that fashion a country, but that the women of the land play a large factor in determining what kind of place that country shall be. The women can assist in the preservation of those ideals and principles that have been bestowed upon the land by her first martyrs and pioneers. It is the woman who must today recognize that she too has cer- tain pledges to carry out for her own sake, for the sake of the men who are spilling out their life blood, and for the sake of her country. We women must shop to take an inventory of what we are today, of what we are doing, and what we should hope and plan to accomplish in the future, It is true that many women have already taken over the tasks of our fighting men and have been Page Twenty-Eight accepted as an equal to men, instead of as the lesser man. At present, they are doing their fighting on the home front, holding important positions as Congresswomen in our governing bodies and working in war plants which produce guns, tanks, and planes for our battle-weary comrades. American women make up 51W of our voting population, casting from 52 to 657' of our total vote. The war has put to work about four million women who otherwise would have remained idle at home. They do the very same type of work as their fellowmen: building, repairing, and every other type of common labor, Moreover the women are entitled to these gains. Forty-five women in uniform have been killed or wounded on duty, more than two hundred fifty have been decorated for courageous acts. Women are vet- erans of Bataan, Anzio, and Normandy, Now is the time for women to take advantage of the numerous opportunities offered them. They must begin to work harder to preserve the cause for which we are fighting and to enable the Al- lied Nations to be victorious. As we all know, l war accelerates the trend towards sex equality: after the war this .tide recedes, but there is al- ways a gain. After the last war many women continued to work, and this economic independ- ence brought them other types of freedom. It has be-en said by leading Americans, that after peace has been declared and nations are once more free, women will again take their places in the home and give up the power and independ- ence they now possess, But women must con- tinue to strive now and after to keep our nation as powerful and righteous as it has been for many centuries. I have presented to you a picture of what some of the American women of today are 1ike-no- ble, courageous, and willing to sacrifice them- selves for the nation to which they belong. This, however, is not a true portrayal of what all the women in our vast metropolises actually are. How we have all shuddered at the stories that appear in our newspapers altogether too of.ten about the number of women who are delinquent ln their most sacred privileges. Of our large population of women only a small proportion have gone to work in war plants day after day, or to serve in the women's service corps, so that their fellow- men could be free to fight the deadly enemy across the oceans. We still have in our midst, the lazy, parasitic, dissatisfied, and neurotic female, who feels that the way she lives her life is no longer important, therefore no longer meaning- ful. It is difficult for us to realize the large num- ber of women not willing to face problems realis- tically but numbing their minds by listf 1 assid- uously to the ridiculous romances of the morning radio soap operas. These disgraceful facts can be proven by noting the vast shortage of nurses in our civilian hospitals, which need 25,000 more volunteer nurses aides, the shortage of factory workers, and the shortage of women in our ser- vice corps, A comparison of war-bond sales with the overtowering department-store sales would be a severe shock to many of us. Yet in the cities all day long the movies are full of housewives, some who are college graduates. There is scarce- ly a woman's club where the war is not discussed solely in the terms of the servant problem-over the bridge table. No excuse can be made for these unpatriotic women. They have forgotten that the debt each generation owes to the past it must pay to the future. No fair comparison can be made of the women of today with those of yesterday, the women who fought and even died for the right to vote and speak in public. The work of our famous reformers-Susan Anthony, Jessie Howe, Eliza- beth Stanton, Abigail Scott, all who gave their lives so that their descendants could have the freedoms rightfully endowed upon them-is no longer remembered. These women served in many long wars, wars to civilize people of a new nation, wars with hostile Indians, and wars against greedy white men searching only for power and wealth. These women accepted their hardships with faith and courage, even though there were only a small number of them to per- form the required duties. Their scarcity brought them respect, the frontier made them work, The exploits of these pioneer wives helped to civilize the savage American continent, I need not men- tion the virtues of Abigail Adams, Margaret Fuller, Jessie Fremont, or Clara Barton. They are well known for their record of courage, serv- ice, and splendid achievement. By self-reliance and moral force they helped to create America and brought their sex world-wide prestige. Are American women still earning the world's re- spect? It is the responsibility of all American women to help bring victory to our war-torn land, but before they can do so, they must realize and fulfill their duty to the nation, to give whatever assistance th-ey can. They must help ,onward the reforms brought about by famous women of the past and spread the light of freedom and truth. To teach the ideals of living together harmoniously in society and the principles of purposeful living is their duty. They must rea- lize that marriage is a sacred duty of every woman in the American home, Each woman must learn the responsibilities of all-around citizenship and her role in the modern world. The words of Abigail Scott should be inscribed in all of our minds: The young women of today, free to study, to speak, to write, to choose their occupation, should remember that every inch of this freedom was bought for them at a great price. It is for them to show their gratitude by helping onward the reforms of their own times, by spreading the light of freedom and of truth still wider. We wish to thank our parents and friends for having mad-e these years of public school tram- ing possible, which have 'instilled in all of us great American ideals. With the hope of a ful- fillment of these ideals, we, the Class of 1945, bid you farewell, -BERTHA JOHNSON Page Twenty-Nine Page Thirty .xfifi f ' U f N SENIOR CLASS SONG Tune: 'TM coNF.assIN' THAT 1 LOVE YOU Verse: Now that we must leave you Blue and White, We pause and sighg How time does fly, We are looking toward a future bright.

When th-e war started the suppers were discontinued, but the Hi-Y was able to enjoy a limited number of them again this year, Servicemen home on furlough were guests at supper and gave interesting talks about their work and experience. During the football and basketball seasons members sold ice cream and candy bars to the spectators. Bars were also sold at the district and regional tournaments held in Ishpe-ming' this year, The Hi-Y provides ushers for all programs held in the auditorium, Following a custom of several y-ears' standing the group entertained the Freshman boys at a stag. A gift which is beneficial to the scnool will be purchased and presented. Throughout the year the members made an earnest endeavor to abide by their platform of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholar- ship, and clean living. Mr. Peterson is the faculty adviser.

We kept this aim in mind when we planned the programs for the year with the help of Miss Ebba Eklund and Miss Grace Dunn, cur advisers. An interesting as well as enlightening meeting was the initiation of new members. Questions related to business were Woven into a. Truth or Consequence entertainment, At another meeting a. panel discussion based on the qualities employers look for in their stenographers proved very helpful to us as pros- pective employees. The play, She W0n't Talk Now, was pre- Page Forty-Two sented to emphasize the need of keeping all of- fice matters confidential. An entertaining radio skit, A Girl and Her Shadow, pointed out to us the need for tact and the ability to get along well with others, Everyone enjoyed the visit to the City Hall which has recently been remodeled. We were shown the new office quarters and the equip- ment, as well as the court room and the council chambers. The film, Three to be Served, was an appro- priate wind-up of our year's activities. It ex- plain-ed by means of a simple human story the principles that have made America prosperous, and stimulated us into constructive thinking on the problems of the postwar preiod.

DRAMATIC DECLAMATIONS Barbara Belstroni was chosen to represent the Ishpeming High School in dramatic declamatiozi this year. Mary Beaudin was awarded second place. Because the dramatic type of speaking has a strong audience appeal it was decided that five speakers were to be entered in the local contest, instead of the usual four. All of the selections w-ere enthusiastically received by th' student body. At the district contest held in Ishpeming Bar- bara Belstrom was again awarded first place. Her selection was of particular timeliness, since it deals with the mental conflicts of an American soldier in this war. Her deeply sincere present- ation never failed to captivate her audiences.

There was good variety of sub- jects, ranging from music to international unity. At .the district contest Stuart Malmgren, speaking on the serious threat of postwar unem- ployment, captured top honors again. His urgent appeal for the need of planning served as a time- ly warning to those of us who have forgotten the great depression. The orations were prepared under .the direction of Mr. Renz.

Two freshmen and two sophomores were chosen to compete in .the annual school contest. First place was awarded to Barbara Sundberg, and Joann Johnson placed second. Barbara Sundberg represented our school in the district cont-est held in Ishpemlng and again won top honors. In the regional contest held in Gladstone Barbara was awarded first place. The declaimers were coached by Miss Johnson and Miss Vivian, There'll Always Be Beauty ..... Joyce Denny A Greater and Freer America .Joann Johnson Our Priceless Heritage ......

Walter Hansen was chosen to represent the school for his analysis of the Polish problem. Second place honors were won by Deborah Dubinsky who suggested what our relationship with Russia should be. The topic, Compulsory Military Train- ing, was presented by George Magnuson, and Frances Roti discussed what we should do with Germany, Wa1ter's topic in the district contest was Chi- na in World War II. Again he placed first. At the regional con.test held in Gladstone Wal- ter faced three strong competitors, but his dis- cussion of reconversion for peace won him top honors.

THE DEBATERS The question for debate this year: Resolved, that the legal voting age be reduced to 18 years, was a very interesting one. Following the sys- tem instituted last year because of the national emergency the season again consisted of two tournaments. The first, a practice tournament, was held in Ishpenung on December 9 with seven schools competing--Escanaba, Gladstone, Manis- tique, Bessemer, Vulcan, Ironwood, and Ishpem- mg, At this tournament reserve squads were also given an opportunity for practice, Members of the faculty served as judges for these rounds. Dr. Current, Dr. Magers, and Mr, Roberts of the Northern Michigan College of Education judged the regular debates. Ishpeming's sched- ule follows: AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE DECISION Manistique Ishpeming Walter Hansen Frances Roti Affirmative Ishpcming Escanaba Stuart Malmgren Affirmative Deborah Dubinsky Ishpeming Ironwood Stuart Malmgren Affirmative Deborah Dubinsky Vulcan Ishpeming' VVa1ter Hansen Frances Roti Affirmative The championship tournament was held Janu- ary 12-13 at Northern Michigan College of Edu- cation at Marquette. Mr. Meyland, Mr, Roberts, and Dr. Thomas of the faculty were the judges. At this contest Isiipeniing debaters .took top hon- ors, winning .the Upper Peninsula championship. Having won one negative and two affirmative decisions Ishpeming tied with Escanaba for first place. However, through ranking by judges, the award was given to Ishpeming, The debates fol- low: AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE DECISION Ironwood Ishpeming Walter Hansen Frances Roti Negative Ishpeming Bessemer Stuart Malmgr c '- Deborah Dubinsky Affirmative Ishpeming Manistique Stuart Malmgren Affirmative Deborah Dubinsky Gladstone Ishpeming Walter Hansen Frances Roti Affirmative The University of Michigan wall plaque for excellence in high school debating was presented to the school by the debaters in addition to a large trophy. Each member of the team received a certificate of merit from the Detroit Free Press as well as a gold watch. The underclass- men were awarded letters for their participation, and the Seniors were given forensic keys. The reserve team consisted of Joann Johnson, Henrietta Nault, Corrine Anderson, Helen Kaar- to. Marilyn Arsenault, and Carmen Gatien. Much credit for the successful season is due Mr. Maynard who has coached the squad so cap- ably the past two years, Page Fort 5' -Seven liighl ' Q za v 1. L. a C M- '-'EZ ff. Z5 1: ,'I T!

This annual event, the presentation of a sacred cantata, is the highlight of the year and is awaited eagerly by the members of the chorus. The group of 135 voices made its first appear- ance at the Christmas concert when it sang with artistry selections from The Messiah by Handel. These included For Unto Us a Child Is Born, Glory to God, and the Hallelujah Chorus. In April several choruses from the Lenten cantata were repeated at the afternoon session of the County Institute. The audience was noticeably impressed, At the Spring Music Festival the chorus pre- sented three songs, The Russian Sailors' Dance from the The Red Poppy by Gliere was a brisk and stirring number, In contrast to this there was Sea Moods by Tyson. Finally the group sang the melodic and ever-loved I'll See You Again by Coward, The Baccalaureate service was enriched by the singing of the Sanctus from St. Cecelia Mass by Gounod. Sincere appreciation is due Miss Bentley whose direction of the chorus has won it a singular reputation of excellence. Through her patient teaching students have experienced the joy of singing and have learned to appreciate the beautiful. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Through much effort and enthusiasm the Girls' Glee Club has carried on its tradition of brilliant performance. This could not have been accom- plished without the skill and the tireless devo- tion of Miss Bentley, the director. The girls usually begin their vocal work in the Girls' Chorus where the foundation for singing is laid. Later they are admitted to the glee club. In this group special attention is given to careful workmanship and sensitive interpretation, At the annual Christmas concert the Girls' Glee Club reverently sang Ave Maria by Schu- bert and If With All Your Hearts by Men- delssohn. In April the girls were able to re- peat these fine selections for the enjoyment of the teachers attending the Marquette County Institute. The girls' portion of the Spring Music Festival consisted of 3 numbers: The Indian Love La- ment by Madsen, Crescent Moon and Over the Land is April by Charles, Their presenta- tion was marked by delicacy of feeling, tonal richness, and fine contrast, I OCTET From the ranks cf the Mixed Chorus a mixed double quartet has been organized. The voices of its members afford a rare tonal blending, and there is a sincerity and feeling in their singing which moves the listener. The group appeared at several assemblies, the Music Festival, and Commencement. It also accept-ed invitations from civic organizations, Among the songs it offered were Rose of the World by Victor Herbert, People Will Say QVe're-in Love and Oh What a Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma by Rogers: Summertime from Porgy and Bess by Gershwin: The Builders by Cadman, and Just A Wearyin' for You by Carrie Jacobs- Bond. Keith LeClair, tenor, and Robert Elson, bari- tone, had opportunities during the year to sing duets for the public, as well as solos. Mention should also be made of the splendid work the soprano soloists did in the cantata and glee club selections. The vocal groups are fortunate in their tal- ented pianists, Peggy Irwin and Bernice Wiggins whose accompaniment always enriches the per- formance, Page Fifty-Five v Fifty-Six 7 L t I I A1 7 vi I-IJ 'L I .. 2 ': v 1 if C!

Page Sixty FOOTBALL IRON MOUNTAIN -- 8 ISI-IPEMING--0 In new togs, sporting royal blue jerseys with scarlet and white trim, khaki pants and scarlet and white sox, our famed Hematite team made its debut this year on its home field against a tough Iron Mountain team, The Hematites played in rain and in sunshine that day. A little after the kickoff the rain be- gan to pour down on the field. The high schobl band had to leave the field and return to the school. Up to and through the third quarter the Blue and White held the opponent scoreless, but in the last quarter .the opponent secured a safety and a touchdown to carry home a victory over Ish- peming. SAULT STE. MARIE-21 ISHPEMING-13 The Soo team outpointed our Ishpeming squad 21 to 13 there on a sunny afternoon in a hard- fought game. An Ishpeming fumble on Soo's five-yard line in the first quarter was followed by a 95-yard touchdown, and the Blue Devils made the extra point on a forward pass. In the second quarter the Soo scored again after recovering an Ishpeming fumble in mid- field. Ishpeming also scored in the second quar- ter, Hughes making the touchdown on an off tackle smash from the five-yard line. Ishpeming failed the place kick for the added point, Soo counted again in the third quarter on a forward pass from the Ishpeming 25-yard line, and in the last quarter Ishpeming made a touch- down when Barry grabbed a pass on the 25-yard line and romped over, Eliason smashed through the line for the extra point, A MARQUETTE-6 ISI-IPEMING-13 Ishpeming scored a well earned victory over Marquette for their first win of the season. In ,the last half of that Saturday's game on Mar- quette's new athletic field, Marquette was .able to score only one touchdown and lost 13-6 to the Hematites, who made both their touchdowns ln the first half. Towards the end of the first quarter, Manzoline, Ishpeming guard, raced 20 yards on a reverse play scoring the first touch- down. Ishpeming scored again in the second quarter, Barry catching a pass and going 20 yards for the touchdown. This time the attempt for the extra point was good. In the third quarter, Graveraet filled the air with passes, but most of its passing attempts failed. In the last quarter of the game the Redmen scored a 55-yard touchdown. They were in pos- session of .the ball when the game ended. NEGAUNEE-6 ISHPEMING-0 Playing in miserable weather before a rain soaked and thoroughly chilled gallery Ishpeming was defeated by Negaunee. The teams were badly handicapped by the driv- ing rain and slippery field, so fumbles were fre- quent, The lone touchdown of the game was scored in the third quarter, Bill Jenning's pass to Tre- whella put the ball on the 20-yard line. From there Jennings scampered around end to score. Ishpeming had the edge on Negaunee through- out the first half, but could not Present 2 threat- CALUMET-20 ISHPEMING--0 The Hematites traveled to Calumet and were outplayed 20-0. Injuries and scholastic difficulties hampered the Hematites in this game. Calumet presented a strong running attack centered around Hirva- la. Ishpeming threatened twice, but failed to score. GLADSTONE-6 ISHPEMING-0 The teams played on fairly even terms during the game. Gladstone chalked up the only score of the game in the second quarter, a penalty placing Gladstone in scoring position. . Fumbles stopped a couple of Ishpeming drives.

At the half Ishpeming had a 12-9 lead which they increased to 16-12 at the third mark. Each team scored seven field goals, and Ish- peming made 2 of 4 free throws to 7 of 17 tries for Stambaugh. ISHPEMING-30 ESCANABA-33 Although the Hematites split even with Es- canaba on field baskets and outscored the Del- tans in the second half, Escanaba won a victory by earning T points on free throws to Ishpem- ing's four. C. Ayotte was high point man with 8 field baskets and 3 free throws, ISHPEMING-16 IRON MOUNTAIN-19 Ishpeming's failure to capitalize on free throws cost them the victory. The Hematites scored only 4 of 14 tries while Iron Mountain made good 9 out of 14 times. Ishpemings firs.t half lead of 9-3 soon collapsed when the opponent won 16 points to our 7 in the last half. ISI-IPEMING-67 MUNISING-16 Mather High School's orange and black squad were hopelessly outclassed when Ishpeming held them to four field baskets. Playing with 9 men the Hematites scored 23 points in the first period and maintained pressure through the entire game. ISI-IPEMING-39 NEGAUNEE-48 Ishpeming was strong in the first period, scor- ing 11 to 4 and bringing gloom to the Negaunee fans, The Hematites managed to stay in the lead until the middle of the third stanza, Then Trewhella swung into action and showed the way to victory. Ayo.tte, Smith, and LeClair shared scoring honors, Trewhclla scored 10 field baskets and four tree shots for 24 points. ISHPEMING-20 SOO-44 Ishpeming was outplayed by the mighty Blue Devils in three of the four periods at the Soo. ISHPEMING-32 MARQUETTE- -42 In the first period the Hematites hung up 11 points to the Redmen's 8. But Nystrom and Doyle nosed their team into a one point lead at the half. In the .third canto scoring was evenly divided at 11-11, giving Marquette a one point margin. The home team staged a tough fight, but it was Marquette's game. Nystrom was high point man with 17 points. ISHPEMING-17 ESCANABA-23 Although Ishpeming made a fast start when Ayotte scored a basket in the first 15 seconds of play, the Hematites dropped the game to the Eskymos. Our quint failed to cash in on num- erous tries for a field goal, while the opponent did a wonderful job of basket weaving. The teams were about even in floor work, but other- wise the Hematites were off color, ISHPEMING-26 GLADSTONE-23 In a hotly contested game during which the score board showed no more than a 3 point mar- gin for either team at any time, the Hematites were victorious, Gladstone won a 2 point lead at the quarter, but Ishpeming came roaring back to battle on even terms, In the third period the visitors were held to a single free throw, ISHPEMING-26 MARQUETTE-45 The Hematites took a beating when they missed 31 of their first 33 shots in this game with Marquette. At the end of the first half the Redmen had a. handy lead of 26 to 6. With the -ease of good sledding Marquette took the game, although Ishpeming outscored the op- ponent by one point in the second half. Doyle earned 22 points. ISHPEMING-24 NEGAUNEE-57 In this game Negaunee rang up one of the largest .totals ever taken from an Ishpeming team and won its twelfth straight victory. It was the Miners' game from the--opening whistle. As was true in other contests, the' Hematites broke through the defense, but failed to find the nct. ISHPEMING-34 SOO-32 The boys from the Soo used theinheight to advantage in the first half to leave the Hema- tites trailing by 2 points. Ishpeming came back strong to wage a nip and tuck battle. When the score was tied 32 in the final period, C. Ayotte took a shot thirty feet from the basket and won the game for Ishpeming, ISHPEMING-28 NEGAUNEE-26 Ishpeming had its hour of glory, when it de- feated Negaunee 28-26 before a packed ,house on the hom-e floor, Each team put up an excellent defense, and the spirit was intensified as the game progressed, Ishpeming outscored the vis- itors a little better than 2 to 1 in the second quarter. Until the three quarter mark the teams alternated the lead with each basket. Ishpeming stayed out in front in the last period, but Ne- gaunee fought desperately to ward off its second successive defeat. ISHPEMING--44 NEWBERRY-42 Spectators enjoyed a fast, close game as Ish- peming wrested a victory from Newberry by a margin of 2 points to close the regular playing season. Behind 29-20 at the half, the Hematites closed the gap in the last half and won during the last two minutes. The letter I was awarded to Clarence Ay- otte, Robert Ayotte, Roy Delongchamp, Gordon Grigg, Keith LeClair, Norman Leffler, Jack Okesson, James Tonkin, and Beryl Turino. Gor- don Grigg was lost to the squad when he entered the U. S. Navy in February.

Page Sixty-Seven A NIGHT WITH THE INNER SANCTUM I was sitting in the chair, listening to the In- ner Sanctum Radio Program when I suddenly realized how quiet the house was. A great fear swept over me. What if a poor man should come to the door and ask for food! a small voice said. You're just imagining things, 'replied a determined voice. Thus I was reassured. Soon I heard a loud banging against the house. I knew it was the thermometer, which was being blown about by the wind, but again the small voice appeared. Run to your room and hide! it uttered. No! No! answered the strong voice. Prove to yourself that it is the thermometer, Go to see! As I walked cautiously to the window, a shad- ow flew suddenly across the next house, My heart stood still, my feet refused to move, and my hair stood on end. I was just ready to run upstairs when the front door opened, Now I was completely paralyzed and afraid to look. Slowly I turned to the door and who should be standing there but my small brother! I was re- lieved .to know that the intruder was only a mischievous boy. --Ann Sundblad UNDISPUTED DECISION Slowly I ascended the icy steps of the scaf- fold. One glance down the steep, icy sloop sent a chill tingling down my spine. My first impulse was to descend the way I had come, but no, I was determined to make the jump. After watch- ing several other riders go down the slide, I finally mustered enough courage to put on my skis. It was then that I started to reflect 'upon the great undertaking 1 was about .to tackle. I could visualize myself zooming off the take-off high into the air, higher than I had ever before jumped. Then the crashing fall on the landing fled through my mind, I could even feel the pain from the broken bones: I saw the ambulance ready .to rush me to the hospital. These disturbing factors almost made me back out, Then I began to enumerate the merits I would receive if I did ride the hill successfully. I thought of the admiration of my friends, the envy of my rivals, and, most of all, my own pride. Now and then my better judgment would prevail, only to be blotted out by the appealing arguments of the other side. I never did find out which side won the debate because I was abruptly awakened and discovered it all had been a dream. That was one time that I cherished the idea that all dreams do not come true. --Roy Goethe BRINGING HOME THE BACON The carnival was in town! I was in the first grade and in school all I heard was what my friends had done and had seen at that wonderful fairyland, .the carnival. I hurried home at noon and blurted out the things the boys had told me. Page Sixty-Eight ' 'f'1v Tonight I was going to see all this, for I had never been to a carnival before. My dream burst like a soap bubble, for my mother informed me that I was too young to go to the carnival alone and that she would not be able to accompany me. But, I said, I know the way, and I am quite old now, for, you see, I am in the first grade. It was no use, I just could not go, In school that afternoon I planned how I could ge.t to the carnival, After school I hurried home, changed my clothes, secretly took a prized nick- el from my bank, and eluded my mother, Soon I was hurrying toward the carnival grounds. I went through the gate with my money clutched tightly in my hand. I wandered about looking at the strange pictures on the tents. Soon the lights went on and the crowd began to increase in size. Then I began to worry about what my father would say when I arrived home. I began to dodge family friends in the crowd, for fear that they would tell my parents that I had been there. I decided to spend my money quickly and go home. To my dismay everything cost more than a. nickel. Finally I came upon a booth where there was a huge chance wh-eel, It was the only way to spend my money, so I bought a ticket. My eyes fell on the prizes, There in the middle of the rack, was a huge ham. If I could only win it! The man gave the wheel a spin and the numbers went round and round. Finally the wheel slowed and stopped. I looked up anxiously at the man. He turned around and handed me a pound of bacon. Immediately I hurried out of the gate and toward home, I knew that my parents would' be looking for me and would be angry. I was ter- rified! As I climbed the steps, I clutched my bacon more tightly. I opened the door and timid- ly presented my peace offering. Luckily for me my parents laughed at my prize. Thus the bacon saved the day. -Ronald Kaijala SKI EPISODE NUMBER ONE The first time I attempted to ski almost re- sulted in disaster, In the first place I knew very little about the fundamentals of skiing. In the second place I didn't know how to make use of the little I did know. So I gaily skied to the Winter Sports CIUD one cold afternoon, anticipating fun, I winged my flight down a hill which I would never try again without more knowledge of skiing, determined to do or die . I must confess I came closer to the latter. Soon I wish-ed I did have wings to make that flight. All went well and I was quite proud of myself-until I reached the bottom. The old proverb, Pride goeth before a fall, flashed through my mind as I suddenly lost complete control. Both skis decided to join with one ac- cord, but my legs were not capable of such an act. The result-both poles flew in a different direction, and my arms, legs, and skis tangled themselves into such a discouraging mess that one could hardly be distinguished from another. After several vain, laborious attempts to right myself, I succeeded in untangling the confusion and regained my dignity, I-Iencefonth I think tobogganing will be my favorite winter sport, -Bernice Wiggins . . . - , l V ,F , 5 Z, sgg'sW':E-sY41f.+1 '- - sit,-gil -. CAM P BEAR CLAW Three years ago my closer associates and I were obsessed with the prospect of building a camp. It is only now that I realize that the days of hard work, perseverance, clean fun, and companionship have had an influence upon my life. You might ask, In what way could a crude cabin have a bearing on one's life? This is only a fair question. To overcome difficulties it was necessary to work as a teamg we had to agree on procedure, distribution of labor. and the sharing of expens- es. Our team even learned a few of the funda- mentals of diplomacy, as there was of.ten need of tact to bring our work-worn group back into harmony. In spite of our barriers, arguments, and blistered hands we realized that by working together we had reached our goal. Our one-room cabin has since then be-en a. source of constant pleasure to the four boys who built it, It serves as a center for a great deal of our outdoor activity, and we have the ex- clusive benefits of being isolated, Near our camp is a swamp and L1 narrow creek that are re- nowned for their hunting and fishing possibili- ties although ther-e is some controversy on this point. Through our hunting experiences and mishaps, we have learned that firearms, which are sometimes mistakenly classified as toys, are sinister weapons in the hands of the careless, Our experiences in the field may never have any material value, and although we may separate along the walks of life, the reminiscences of our little cabin will cast many happy reflections on the days of our boyhood. -Roy Tresidder ' 3 ggi? j eisizafzs swam -R 5- X Diuilsvitj B-24.-itrib 5:5 ' f all Q l J I 1 1 ro on c e o -.Vir l:w.n:J 'R-e- ga-P' f JL 3 'll K .7 j J I Q o Q ff'fi'7ff U ff Oo oo f , , X .1 J if 1 ff, 'r lf f ' , 1 N, W L .6 J 4 B gg-ja, gf' lr--WCS?

Page Sixty-Nine ai-ew-ws.-1 -i.-li- lf, i ' rf' fs i'1mv'f - w'r'fwrW2' it CHARACTER OBSERVATIONS Lazily he slouches into the room, moving as if his feet were hardly maneuverable, One of his arms dangles limply at his side, trying to equalize the weight of books on the other side. He manages to pull his feet to the desired table and proceeds to prepare himself for another for- ty-five minutes of boredom, He slides his books down, cautiously lowers himself into the chair, and still has enough energy left to hold his head up with the noble assistance of his hand. When called on, he lifts his eyebrows a little, being careful not to strain his musclesg and if he speaks, which is not likely, he mumbles in a low monotonous voice, with words all run together. -Alice Kulju His outward appearance is very deceiving. He looks like the bashful seventeen-year-old, but in- wardly he is a demon, and anything but bashful. He looks neat and clean, always wearing his clothes well. One of his outstanding characteris- tics is that he blushes often, and at things which are really not embarrassing, His voice seems quite normal, though he sings bass in a well- known choral organization, He seems to like himself well enough, frequently he has a grumpy expression on his handsome face. When he does smile, his face lights up, and instantly one takes a mone kindly attitude toward him, -Betty Lou Nault Immaculate, from his carefully brushed hair to his gleaming saddle shoes, he strolled leisure- ly down the halls. His perfect posture-shoulders back, chest out, chin up-spelled assurance, and his very footsteps shouted to anyone who ap- proached that here was a perfect masculine specimen, When he reached his destination this Greek god hesitated for a second, then entered the room and coolly appraised his classmates. His eyes swept across the room: then, with a slight hrug of his massive shoulders, he indif- ferently took his place, flipped the pages of his text, and began his' scornful survey of his class- mates once more. When called upon to recite, his voice rang with confidence. After receiving the teacher's approval, a smirk spread across his chiseled features and he relaxed again in his seat, a self-satisfied young man who gazed about the class to see if all notioed his triumph. -Deborah Dubinsky Black-rimmed spectacles slid halfway down his pointed nose until they formed a bar across his eyes. He could either look over or under these spectacles, and he did both frequently with a quick flicker of his eyelashes. Blink! And he was gazing at the upper world in all it hazy glory. Flick! He was back in his cage again, peering into his newspaper for some new marvel. -Patricia Potter He is at -ease with only a few people. When in a crowd, he gives away his nervousness by constantly pulling at his shirt cuffs. He seldom talks, but when he does, he uses his hands to express his feelings, His deep, soft voice could easily put you to sleep, but he has such an in- teresting manner of speaking that you feel you should hear every word he says. -Helen Sundblad Partly because he has beautiful white teeth and partly because he thinks it's just plain cute, he is fond of grinning at the slighest provocation, He thinks he is every girl's dream man, and he even refers to himself as God's gift to the women. ' -Robert Elson A flaming necktie and a bright-colored coat make him conspicuous in the crowd. He chats merrily with all those present, hopping quickly from one guest to another. Gesturlng madly with his short limbs, he fills the conversation with flattering expressions and witty comments. - -Gordon Gill Is it a man from Mars? Is it the missihg link?

WORD PICTURES The tall, slender elm swayed as a gust of wind tore at its branches, and the last few faded leaves fluttered to the frozen ground. --KATHRYN ROSENDALE The pitch of my voice is becoming lower ex- cept in arguments when it climbs the scale. Of- ten it rattles on like a machine until people wonder if it will cease only when parallel lines meet. -JOAN MALONEY Our canary, yellow like a ripe lemon, sat perched on his miniature swing, chirping in his shrill, high-pitched voice, BARBARA SUNDBERG A crystal raindrop' falls from the sky toward the ear.th. It is seized by an icy hand and rough- ly stamped with an intricate design, Released at last, it falls to the earth in an irregular pattern. -NORMAN LEFFLER Our, cat came home in an unusual manner last night, The large, fluffy, waving tail was no long- er straight up in the air as though tied to some- thing above him but tucked between his hind legs. His eyes were slanting slits instead of large orbs. His voice no longer rang clear and sweet but whimpered for pity and comfort. He did not come trotting through the house like a young pony but hobbled along on three logs, for some- one had set a .trap and he had been caught. -KATHLEEN TONKIN I am a tall boy. VVhen it comes time to buy a pair of pants I could take two pair and cut off the legs of one of them and sew them on the bottoms of the other pair and have a perfect fit. My ape-like hands and arms hang loosely out of the ends of the sleeves of my suit coat, which usually come to my lumpy elbows. I have for- gotten what it feels like to stretch out in bed, for my head is jammed between the bars at one end, and my size eleven and one half feet are packed against the other, -JOHN ALLEN In the early hush of the morning a lone rabbit hopped through the woods beneath the pines, where the frost had faintly outlined the delicate pattern of the lacy moss. The thunder crashed loudly and bright light- ning flashed the news of the storm. -SHIRLEY JUNAK The mowing machine was in perfect condition, although the teeth clattered against the guards and .the gears whirred and whined under the strain of the heavy hay. -WILLIAM ROBINSON As I swallowed I could feel the gritty salt wa- ter sandpapering my throat. -JANET HOLM The newly plowed field was like a vast plain of dark reddish-brown velvet, which was draped into neat furrows, -CAROL FOSMO When the gentleman doffed his hat, his head appeared like a shining lake fringed with sparse withered weeds. V -PEGGY IRWIN One night at camp after putting the boat away, I thought I would sit on the dock for a. shor.t tune. All of a sudden I saw in the north the bluish-green Aurora Borealis. I sat there awed by their ever-changing beauty, until I was called to bed. Reluctantly I left, still gazing heav-enward as the giant searchlights played their colorful beams on the sky's expanse. -PAUL GIESER The wind made a wailing sound as it blew through the leafless trees. Fine snow was sifted from the sky, and it was drifting like waves of a lake. A snowstorm was on its way, --JOYCE DENNY The long tapering icicles which were suspend- ed from line eaves looked like crystal stalagmites hanging from the roof of a cave, -RICHARD HANEY While walking along the river, I heard the squish, squash of sinking feet in the soft wet earth and the roaring of the icy rapids. -HELEN DELONGCHAMP As I write I can 'feel the foggy air that clings to the swamp, while the sound of the bubbling water hurries me to the river's edge, I can feel the cool, refreshing water gurgling around my boots as my line glides downstream. The jerk of the line and the bend of the pole give me a feeling of excitement, particularly when the in- nocent-looking trout is swiftly reeled in, -JACK OKESSON Far across the valley a swamp bird sets up his chatter, a partridge drums, a squirrel runs across the roof, and everything comes to life. The ground feels cool beneath your feet'as you go down to the spring to wash. When you neturn you can smell wood smoke that rises above the .tree tops in a thin blue line. There is the welcome odor of frying bacon and boiling coffee. Someone begins to chop wood, a crow files overhead, the sun peeps over the pine trees, and life is good. -MICHAEL RYAN The surrounding forest is made up of beauti- ful pine trees whose smooth needles are sooth- ing to the touch as is the cool carpet of gray green moss, which springs when walked upon. There is the constant sound of the wind blowing through the trees, and the cliipmunks keep up an incessant chattering, In the evening the frogs entertain with their ardent serenades. We are reluctant to leave the woods. -DOROTHY PETERSON As I lay prostrate in the warm sunshine with bits of straw and hayseed penetrating my shirt, I was gradually lulled into a doze by the sweet pressing odor of hay and the gentle murmuring of insects. -KEITH LEHTO I recall how I COLlld hear a few chickens stir- ring and the feeble attempts of :1 rooster to wak- en the worldg how I used to stop at the barn to watch Tony as he milked the cows, how the cow's control over her tail as she brushed the flies off fascinated meg how my approach to the field scared the draft horses and they would thunder away: how I tried to count the clods of earth the horses' hoofs kicked up in the airg and how I would heave broadside after broad- side of stones in vain at a crow sitting in a bare, leafless tree, only to have it fly calmly away two seconds after I stopped in admitted defeat. -CARL THEODORE Page Seventy-One .,-,..q.

Then we stop to pluck a purple sugar plum, which bursts like a bubble when it is bitten. --FLORENCE SWANSON FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS Marjorie Gothe ............ Gee, I d0n't know.

This is especially true in the case of women. Their clothing is never worn for warmth. In fact, it is quite the other extreme: it is very common to see a woman wearing a thin coat, short skirt, and sheer stockings in themiddle of the winter. Only the men dress for warmth and comfort, After all, how can a woman tell if a man is wearing red flannels? So he does it, and thus keeps warm. -MAE LINDBOM The American woman, regardless of how beautiful she naturally is, will spend hours at a. time in a busy beauty parlor, Here she allows her hair to be put up in hot irons, burned for fifteen minutes, then washed, dried set, and combed. Her hair-what there is left of it-is now piled up high on her head, -HELEN KAARTO Girls wear makeup to catch a man to support them and give th-em plenty to eat. --DOUGLAS BEAUCHAMP Why, I hardly know whether the girls are girls or not, the way they go around with those baggy things on called slacks, Oh! If they only knew how they looked. --DOROTHY STEPHENS All the women have curly hair. The males, whose heads don't look like smooth ostrich eggs, are trying like mad to curl and wave their hairy but they have more pride-that is, most of them-to use a strange headgear apparatus to do the trick. -KEITH LE CLAIR I still couldn't see why the men wore their sashes around their necks, and especially when they were so brightly ornamented with stripes, flowers, and other designs. After several in- quiries I was told that this sash was called a tie, I still have no explanation for its use around one's neck, however. -MARY HENNESSEY Then there are the finger nails, Ah, yes, how smart it is to keep them long and weapon-like with brilliant colors applied to them! Although different shades of red are most in demand, yel- low, green, blue, and yes, even black, are quite popular. ---RAYMOND SUNDBLAD A woman comes marching proudly d'6wn the street with what looks like a flower pot perch-ed on the back of her head, A bit of lace and straw aid in identifying it as a hat. Another one re- minds you of a frying pan turned upside down and placed over one eye, -LOIS GLANVILLE Women are greatly offended or hurt when they see another of their sex wearing a hat similar to their own. In fact, it is almost an unpardonable wrong to don the same style of hat that is worn by your friend, And if a woman was your friend before you wore your somewhat similar hat, it is quite likely that the friendship will quickly come to an end. - -DONALD SANDBERG They snatch at every fad and fancy which sweeps the country and then dies out. They imitate like monkeys. At this hour there is a cult of bobby sox and sloppy sweater girls. --JOHN CHILLMAN S.tyle, of course, is the determining factor in the choice of clothing: and regardless of their own size or shape, most females adhere to style. -CAROL VIVIAN VVhat is a hat? A veil--a flower-a piece of felt-a bowl of fruit-a bird prepared for flight -to woman a delight-to man a fright-that's right. Her hat was of the usual run through the mill type, She wore it with an air of uncon- scious dignity and grace-anyone who would wear a hat like that would have to be unconscious. It was perched somewhere in the vicinity of her right earg and if a gust of wind should catch it unaware, it would be at half-mast, A profusely feathered bird perched daringly on the pie-plate- sized green straw crown, and his tiny amber eyes registered a mixture of bewilderment at being in this precarious position. His wingspread was that of a miniature B-29, and the slight drooping effect of the wings made the lady resemble a. quizzical cocker spaniel, The green straw crown, slightly built up and thickened around the edge, produced a nest ef- fect for the bird. The creator of this master- piece must have been a sort of maternal person, since four small eggs, each of a different hue, were placed in the bird's roosting place, The plumage of the birds was definitely original in shading and blending. It was as if the feathers had been lying around ln a paint shop when it was struck by a cyclone. And now you still may want to know-What is a hat? A hlt-is that---which may-be flat- which may-be square-which may- be' round- which on a head-is often found. -MARJORIE GOTHE THINGS T0 KEEP IN THE DARK What occurs in Mr, Renz's 5th period English class when it can be heard laughing by students on the second floor. Why Dolly Gray usually gives two speeches instead of the usual one. Keith Forsberg puts his makeup on in English. Mr. Maynard said, Yes, my dear! Quninten- tionally, of coursej to Ethel DeRoche in econom- ics. Who it is that thinks Bye is a town in the U, P, with a population of 7,000. One day Mr. Townsend received a letter ad- dressed to Mrs, Townsend with the salutation. Dear Madam, and containing an advertisement for ladies' hose. The reason for Walter's red nose at the Hi-Y outdoor party. The nerve of Mr, Renz to assign Douglas a speech on the Life of Bacon. A responsible girl was seen spotting pins at the Sportland.

What Ray Sundblad and Tom Hughes were doing in the vicinity of Kelly's Slide one night. Ishpeming celebrated V-E day before the of- ficial proclamation was given. While she was in the hospital Miss Paull up- set a tray, and broke the dishes as a piece of partly eaten lettuce floated down the hall toward Dr, Erickson, Mr. Renz was seen about to go rationing at the Cleveland School a day before schedule, Page Seventy-Th' 'K-ll' u Chu of 1 944 Alanko, Gustie Bjorne, Wallace Butorac, Frank Dolkey, Clarence Flynn, Raymond Fosmo, Ralph Goethe, Alfred Hillman, Douglas Isabelle, Henry Johnson, Nester Johnson, Pat LaVoy, Frank Lowenstein, Earl Maki, Norman Moilanen, Harold Nault, William Pascoe, Jack Peterson, George Poutanen, Henry Reinhardt, Edward Rivard, Leonard Scanlon, John Schrodcrus, Ellsworth Seaquist, Edward Symons, Donald Sundberg, Paul 'lamminen, Carl Tonkin, Cecil Trondson, Robert Williams, Marshall Clan of 1943 Barbiere, Anthony Bietila, Ralph DeRoche, Donald Eade, Roy Eliason William Erickson, Douglas Exberg, Kenneth Flaa, William Forsberg, Burton Gallizioli, Aristide Gray, William Johnson, James Koski, John Lemin, Paul Luoma, Marvin Magnuson, John Marra, Anthony Mayrand, Charles Medlyn, William Nardi, Francis Nault, Patrick Olien, Peter Olson, Raymond Pallas, George Palomaki, Gust Quayle, George Richards, Robert Page Seventy-Four Service Honor Roll, 1944-1935 Sapila, Martin Savageau, Paul Swanson, Robert Tasson, Michael Thomas, Bernard Tonkin, George Turino, Paul Valela, Bruno Weiland, Keith Class of 1 942 Ameen, Howard Anderson, Charles Anderson, Wallace Beer, Donald , Bjorne, Calvin Blomgren, John Bonetti, Frank Carlson, Paul Casper, Edward Charbonneau, Paul Chase, Jack Colluccio, Michael Coron, Paul Cox, Robert Denn, Paul Dunstan, Lowell Elgland, Paul Greifer, Elisha Gustafson, Walter Hammer, Ellsworth Hamari, Armas Hemmila, William Hillman, Calvin Holm, Clifford Holm, Russell J andron LeRoy Johnson, George Knudsen, William Lally, Robert Magnuson, James Maki, Eino Maki, Richard Maloney, Bernard Maloney, John Miller, George Nankervis, Donald Nault, Kenn-eth Pantti, Edwin Perrault, Joseph Petersen, Bernhardt Quaal, Van Reitmeyer, Alexander Roti, Richard Saari, Hugo Silas, Robert Sivula, William Skauge, Stuart Sodergren, James Sundberg, Leo Swanson, Charles Swanson, Iner Tupala, Roy Valenti, Joseph Wright, Donald Clan of 1941 Amell, Creighton Anderson, William Asplund, Glenn Bartanen, Reuben Bjorne, Leslie Bosio, Leo Carlyon, James Coduti, Robert Comensoli, Junior Dubinsky, Bernard Francis, George Gagliardi, Joseph Goethe, Paul Hoiem, Melvin Johnson, Duane Johnson, Edwin Johnson, Melvin Kamppinen, John Kipling, William Koski, Oscar Kulju, Jack Laine, Leo Larson, Donald Lassila, Reino Maddern, Wallace Main, Thomas Makela, Irving Maki, F.
