WRIGHT HIGH SCHOOL FIRST SCHOOL HOUSE IN IRONWOOD 19 HISTORICAL SKETCH CHOOL district No. I of the township of Ironwood, then in Ontonagon County, was organized in the winter of 1885-86. The first district meeting was held at the Webb House, now the Walker House. Nels Vroman, D. Roach, and Patrick Dornan were elected trustees. The meeting determined upon the erection of a school building, voted to issue bonds and made the necessary contracts. The building on West Vaughn Street, which used to be occupied as the Salvation Army barracks, was the first school building erected in the township of Ironwood. Toward the last of March, 1886, Miss Gertrude Fitzsimmons, now Mrs. O. E. Karste, began to teach school in the new building, thus founding the educational system of Ironwood. The building which then stood on the south side of Vaughn Street was unfinished. It was lathed, but not plastered. There was neither platform nor steps; the pupils and teachers climbed into the front door of the building by the aid of an inverted barrel. There were no sidewalks, and no apparent street. Miss Fitzsimmons only succeeded in getting to the school house dry, shod through the swamp which then occupied the present business part of Ironwood, by jumping from one stump to another. There were about forty pupils present, among them being Miss Margaret Hartigan, now Mrs. Bush, of the class of 94; but they had no books, and neither did they have any for about a month. A few second-hand books of various kinds were gathered together by diligent search and inquiry among the early settlers, but the books were few and poor. Still, by changing them about from hand to hand, quite a considerable work was accomplished. Miss Fitzsimmons taught until the following June. During the summer the town grew rapidly, and in the fall of 1886 Mr. O. H. Carus, a graduate of the Michigan State Normal School, was chosen as principal, with Miss Ella Atkinson and Miss Margaret McVichie as assistants. The wonderful growth of the town during the winter of ’86 and spring of ’87, made the little building on Vaughn street entirely insufficient, and it was proposed to erect a new building. At the annual meeting of 1887, Messrs. W. L. Pierce, J. H. D. Stevens, Capt. Dan Sullivan, Andrew' Johnson, and E. B. Williams were elected as trustees. At this meeting held July I I, 1887, the proposition to bond the district for $15,000 for building purposes was carriedr hd a new building ordered. I was engaged as superintendent in July, 1887, and came to Ironwood in August of that year. The Central School building was erected on its present site, and finished ready for occupancy in September, I 888. So little did the then inhabitants of Ironwood appreciate the great natural resources of Iron-wood, that the board was severely criticised for erectng so large a building, many thinking that it would never all be used. In the winter of 1887-88, the Jessieville School was built and occupied. The annual meeting of 1 890 voted to build three new school buildings, now known as the Ashland, Norrie, and North Schools was built and occupied. The annual meeting of 1892 voted to build the buildings, now known as the Newport and Froebel Schools. Since that time the Aurora School was erected, about 1898. The Luther L. Wright School was completed in 1900, and since that time we have built the Domestic Science School, the New North School, the Manual Training School, and the new North Pabst School. In the twenty years which have elapsed since September, 1887, the Ironwood public schools have grown from ten teachers with six hundred pupils to eighty teachers with 2,900 pupils. From this time on the history of the school of Ironwood must be more or less of a personal narrative, and I hope the reader will pardon me if I speak in the first person. When I came to Ironwood twenty-four years ago, on the first Monday of September, 1887, six hundred children presented themselves for admission. We had one frame building with a room down stairs that would accomodate forty-five pupils, and one upstairs reached by a ladder-like outside stair-case, which, with crowding, would hold as 20 many more. What to do with the five hundred ten was something of a problem. Buildings were few and rents were almost prohibitive. We succeeded in getting Mullen s hall opposite the Curry Hotel on Aurora street, in which we put two hundred fifty pupils and four teachers, one school in each corner. We rented a church, a saloon, a vacted gambling room, a store, and in various ways managed to take care of all, after a sort. The next year the Central School was finished. We established a high school, the sessions were held in a small room on the second floor of that building. There were thirty-five pupils, and I taught them all. There were no artificial distinctions in society; no cliques; no graduations. Everyone was just as good as anyone else, and was so recognized. It is true that a sheriff from an adjoining state came and took away one of our most prominent citizens to serve an unexpired term in the state prison, but little things like that did not disturb us. This school district has been most fortunate in its officers. They have been progressive, able, and honest, and as a rule school affairs have been conducted with economy, integrity, and prudence. The community has always been most loyal to the schools. It is my ideal of a school community. It has always loyally and liberally supported the schools. It has been an ideal community in which to live. The country is rough and tugged, the face of nature is scarred and seamed by gaps, and cuts, and caves; but I love its ruggedness and its hills; its summer climate which is not surpassed in the world. It has nearby natural scenery which is unsurpassed. I love the rugged and warm hearted people who partake of the character of the country and its climate. My friends and neighbors are in Ironwood, my home is there, and my heart will always turn to the Lake Superior country as my home and abiding place. I take the greatest pride in the alumni of this school; they are, I believe, without exception, good men and women of high ideals; men and women of character, ability, strength; honored citizens in their various communities, and so far as I know, everyone of them is a credit to his school and town. Many of them fill honorable and prominent positions in life. The first class graduated in 1890, and the school has had 254 graduates. Some of their occupations are as follows: Those actively engaged in teaching at the present date number thirty; engineers, fifteen; doctors of medicine, five; lawyers, six; there is one clergyman; one mining superintendent; and one newspaper reporter. In 1893 there was no graduating class because the course of study was changed from a three year to a four year course. The members of the class of I 892 were all boys, but one. The members of the class of I 894 were all girls. In the total list of alumni for twenty years there have been 9 deaths. I have been associated during this term of years with a great number of teachers, as a rule of the highest order of personality, ability, and high purpose. Four of them have died in service, viz: Mary Nichol, who was the first assistant in the high school; Edith Mott, the first kindergarten teacher employed; Sophia Bray, kindergarten assistant; Flora Richards, all noble speciments of womanhood. Many others are now residents of the community, and in most cases the real and responsible head of the family. Yours very truly, L. L. Wright. 21 MACHINE SHOP FOUNDRY MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL LATHE ROOM MACHINE SHOP Manual Training HROUGH the munificence and public spirit of the people of Ironwood and through their insight into the needs of the school, and for the benefit of the children and future citizens of Ironwood, a building and complete equipment costing approximately $40,000.00 has been provided for classes in manual training. This building was completed in January, I 908, and classes in bench work and drawing were started immediately. At the present time the manual training work starts in the seventh grade, and is continued through the high school. The nature of the work is as practical as existing conditions will permit, and is given in the different grades as follows: Bench Work in wood is given in the seventh and eighth grades, and consists of exercises bringing in the use and care of the common bench tools, in the making of useful articles for the home, such as bread-boards, coat-hangers, knife-boxes, etc. The first ten weeks of the ninth grade are given to the making of common joints, and the last thirty weeks to cabinet making. In the tenth grade, the first ten weeks are devoted to wood turning, and the remainder of the year to pattern making and foundry practice. The work of the eleventh grade consists of forge practice, and machine shop work is given in the twelfth grade. Mechanical drawing is given in all grades above the seventh. Each pupil gets three hours per week in the manual training building, and this is divided into two periods of one and one-half hours each. One period is devoted to shop work and the other to mechancal drawing. The manual training work is compulsory and counts as two points toward graduation. School of Domestic Science HE School of Domestic Science was built, and work in home economics started in 1904. In 1909, on account of increase in number of students and interest in this branch of educational work, the building was doubled in capacity and re-equipped; making it possible to give instruction of a thoroughly practical nature in all branches of home economics, which have direct bearing on the problems of the home. The building has sewing and fitting room, where the buying, planning and making of a girl’s wardrobe is taught. Kitchens and a dining room, where girls are given instruc- 23 DOMESTIC SCIENCE SCHOOL tion in focd values, the preparation and serving of foods and their relations to the needs of the hcdy and home, and where they are taught to select according to their means. Habits of economy of time, labor and money are taught in the application of these principles in the production of good recipes and in the serving of them. For instruction in furnishing and care of the home there is a living room, bedroom and bathroom, which are simple and attractive. In the basement is a laundry where the laundry work of the average household is done. This work begins in the fifth grade and is continued through the twelfth, and is presented is simple ccncrete form in correlation with other subjects. Fifth and sixth grade, work includes work in darning, mending, handsewing and simple garment making; seventh and eighth grades, elementary cooking, invalid cooking, and housekeeping; ninth and tenth grades, machine sewing, drafting, and designing patterns, the cutting of undergarments. waists, and dresses; laundry work is also given in the ninth grade. The work of the eleventh and twelfth grades includes advanced cooking and the planning and serving of meals, in which each girl acts in the capacity of host, hostess, waitress and cook. 24 Charles Anderson Harry Lundgren Laura Dietrich .

No one ever missed a chance to squelch us that year, and we received our share of the indignities that are usually heaped upon the heads of poor Freshmen. Only the awe we felt for those tall, stately Seniors kept us from resenting these abuses. How puffed up we felt when one of them spoke to us, even if it were only to say that we were the greenst bunch of Freshmen they had ever seen. In our Sophomore year we forgot all bashfulness and cast aside all Freshmen habits. The boys entered into football and made good headway. Several of the girls entered the Declamatory Contest, and Emily Chisholm carried off the highest honors. We also made advances along social lines, and gave a spread at which a large number were present, and an enjoyable evening was spent. When the title Junior was applied to us, we found that we were required to do a little more work than had been expected of us before. But Geometry, with all its intricacies, could not daunt us, and we succeeded in mastering it. The Lyceum election of officers was held in December, and in spite of our hard campaign work, we were defeated. After much discussion, it was decided that the annual Junior-Senior Reception should be held at the Alpha Omega Hall on the twentieth of May. The Melody Orchestra furnished music for the dancing and the guests of which there were about one hundred, seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. On the last day of school, we went to Spring Creek for a hay-rack party. The day was warm, but such a trifle as that could not spoil our good times. Seniors at last! All through our High School days we had looked forward to the time we would bear that title. Now that our anticipation is realized, we are experiencing it not only with joy, but also with grief at the thought that our school days will soon be over. The football season this year was more successful than any before, for the very simple reason that half of the boys on the team were Seniors. At the Lyceum election 36 we were completely victorious. In the Oratorical Contest, Rhinehart Thalner, one of the Senior boys, carried off the highest honors. After Christmas there were a number of social affairs, which afforded great pleasure to all those who attended. As our last school days approach, we begin to realize what they have meant to us. Although for some of us they have not, perhaps, afforded as much time for pleasure as we would have liked to have had, yet we know that they have made us better able to cope with the problems of life. We are better prepared to enter fields of wider interests and to overcome greater difficulties. And although Those days of yore will come no more, Yet through our many years, The thought of you, so good, so true. Will fill cur eyes with tears. 37 Co CO JUNIOR CLASS •1 junior Class •7 1 i CLASS OFFICERS Olga Runstrom Elsie McNamara Harold Waples Cora Woods Frank Talaska . President Vice-President . Secretary .

FOOTBALL HE school term for 1910 opened and as usual, a good football team was looked for. There was plenty of material for the making of a very strong team, but there was no coach. The boys were out alone for two weeks. Finally Mr. Redner, who played on the I. H. S. team in 1899 and later starred on the U. of M. team, offered his services as coach. He was out with the team from 4 until 6 o’clock in sun, rain and snow. The boys worked hard and as a reward, were victorious in 7 out of the 8 games played. The first scheduled game of the season was with Bayfield in which we were easily victors, by the score of 33 to 0. On October 8 our team went to Rhinelander, and by superior training and skill, overcame the more husky men from the Paper City, by the score of I I to 0. On Friday, October 14, the team accompanied by 200 rooters, went to Bessemer and shattered their championship dream by the score of 43 to 0. We were again easy victors over Washburn High School on October 22, by the score of 24 to 6, it being the first team that scored on us. October 29 was the date scheduled to play Ashland at Ironwood, but a heavy fall of snow and wet grounds caused the game to be transferred to Ashland, where the pride of the Ashland High School was humbled by a lighter and more speedy eleven, by the score of 1 1 to 2. On November 3, the first real championship game was played with Hancock High School. Over 4 inches of snow had fallen on the field before the game, but nothing daunted the pride of our school. With our opponents averaging more than four pounds to the man heavier than we were, and with a field advantageous to such a team, the I. H. S. boys were again victorious by the score of 12 to 0. Coutch excelled any record in scholastic or collegiate football, by making four goals from the field in six trials, totaling 12 points. Below is a newspaper extract of the Upper Peninsula championship game between Ironwood and Escanaba, which took place of the latter’s grounds, November 19. Rhinehart Thalner, ’ll. One of the closest and best games ever played by High school elevens, took place at Escanaba, Saturday, where the Ironwood and Escanaba teams met to decide the upper peninsula championship. The game started at 2:30 with a strong wind blowing, a large crowd had gathered to witness the game. During the first quarter, both teams being fresh, rushed their plays into execution with lightning-like rapidity. So intent and decided were the players, that they scarcely stopped to line-up between plays. In the second period, tearing madly around one end and then the other, with a battering-arm plunge through the line, Ironwood showed that its offense was something to be feared. Escanaba soon realized this and when Louis Marks (our lightest man) tore through Escanaba’s line for an eight-yard gain, they fully realized that Ironwood could not be trifled with. Once during the period, Coutch tried for a place-kick, but failed to place the ball between the goal-posts only by inches. The ball did a lot of traveling during the game, zig-zagging back over the field probably fifty times. Both teams tried 47 numberless plays in their attempts to reach each other’s goal. At times both teams would put the same plays in execution. Bartlett, Coutch, and in fact every man in the team, starred in their positions. Fish was wide awake at his post, and he passed the ball with speed and accuracy. When the referee’s whistle blew as a signal for the teams to resume the battle, they were alert, ready to “do or die.” During this period Escanaba again tried a drop-kick, but it was of no consequence. However, they were successful by means of a forward pass, in getting the ball across the line. Ironwood claimed that the Escanaba man was over the Ironwood goal line when he received the pass and of course if he was, the pass was illegal. Umpire Norton agreed with Ironwood that the Escanaba man was across the line, but the referee thought differently and allowed the touchdown. If the referee had declared this an illegal pass the ball would have gone to Ironwood, as it was the third down and it would have been the work of a moment for Coutch to kick out of danger. It was a foxy and daring piece of generalship on the part of Escanaba’s quarter back. This year’s rules strictly forbid a mass play or any assistance being given the players carrying the ball. He well knew that it would be impossible to get the ball over Iron-wood’s goal by straight football, so he elected to use the forward pass. It worked, thanks to the referee, and Escanaba got the championship of the upper peninsula. We salute you, Esky’s Eskersall. Spectators, field-judges, referee, and umpire unanimously agreed that it was a play in which the decision was liable to go either way, in this case favoring Escanaba. Later Ironwood showed their strength and durability by holding Escanaba wthin one foot of their goal for downs. Escanaba’s heavy men had a hard time getting “Cub” Runstrom out of the way. Several times, three of them had to exert their united efforts in removing him from his position. Couch punted, tackled, and squirmed through the line like a fiend. Thalner was a tower of strength to the team. Rye was another who gave a good account of himself in holding Escanaba’s weighty line. “Chin,” Larson and Kennedy played the game of their lives in breaking through the line, blocking kicks and nailing the opponents in their tracks. It was eleven men in every way with each man playing a star game. They are all entitled to equal merit, because each one did his best. Supt. Brennan and Mr. Nicholls accompanied the team and kept cheering the Iron-wood boys during the whole contest. The game from the standpoint of scientific football as the best the upper peninsula has ever produced. Ironwood has never turned out a better team in its existence; it has speed, cunning, and all around ease in switching from play to play. Escabana’s coach said, “Ironwood has a wonderful team.” Our “all star” team is one of which we are all proud. Their record is as follows: October I, Bayfield, 0; Ironwood, 33. October 8, Rhinelander, 0; Ironwood, 1 I. October 14, Bessemer, 0; Ironwood, 43. October 22, Washburn, 6; Ironwood, 24. October 29, Ashland, 2; Ironwood, I 1. November 12, Hancock. 0; Ironwood, 12. November 19, Escanaba, 6; Ironwood, 0. Total, Opponents, 14; Ironwood, 134. Escanaba was the only team that defeated Ironwood, and while all of the points gained by the opponents was 1 4, Ironwood claims 1 34. 48 Football Review Mr. Redner’s football career began in Ironwood in the year of I 899, when he played tackle and half back on the H. S. team. In 1900, he entered the University of Michigan and made the ’Varsity team in his freshman year, playing in the Thanksgiving game which entitled him to an “M.’’ During his first year at Michigan, the team was coached by “Biffie” Lea, and Mr. Redner was a team mate to such famous players as Sweedy, Neil Snow and Weeks. Biegel, Shaw and Redner composed the famous pony backs, which were some of the greatest players Michigan ever had. During his second year at Michigan, Yost was coach. He played with “Billie” Heston, Snow, Weeks, McGugin and Bruce Shorts. This was his last year of football at Michigan, as his next two years were spent at the Michigan College of Mines. “Chin” LaForge, captain on the football team this year, filled his position at left half, and contributed greatly to the success of the eleven by his spectacular end runs. “Tom” Tolan, right guard, stood the blunt end of every game. Whether science or strength was against him, he was always on the top. “Cub” Runstrom, known to all as the “Terrible Swede,” certainly merited his name when playing at his old position as right tackle. Albert Rye, the stone pillar of the line, held down his position at center on all occasions. He was especially accurate in throwing the ball for punts and forward passes. “Dutch” Thalner, left tackle and the heaviest man on the team. When it came to breaking and shattering opposing lines, he was invincible. “Dusty” Larson, the old reliable. He filled his position as full back with the majesty which filled all opponents with terror and awe. “Buff” Bartlett, our veteran end, was one of the strongest players of the squad and when it came to “nailing a man in his tracks, he was there. “Curly” Mark, even if small, lived up to the truth which is ever true in football:—“The best things in the world are often done up in small packages.” “Bud” Coutch is a veteran of four years’ football, and one of the greatest punters the school has ever produced. His record excels that of Eckersall s for place kicking, by making four goals out of six trys in one game. “Kink” Kennedy, held down his position at end in true university style, and he was unexcelled by any other player in running down the punts and forward passes. “Jim” Fish, the “boy wonder.” It was his first year on the team, and we may say that he is a coming star for H. S. football. Among those who are worthy of praise may be mentioned are John Mehl, Rudolph Sanson, Hjalmar Peterson, Fred Trezise, George Winchester, and Carleton Fox. 49 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Miss Colvin (Coach) Lillie Bergquist Olga Runstrom Jeanette Skud Albertina Anderson Elsie McNamara Cora oods Emily Jeffery (Captain) SO Girls’ Basketball Cram The only games obtainable for the season were between Ashland and Wakefield High Schools. The first game was played at Ironwood on January I 4, and resulted in a victory for our team, the score being 11 to 6. On the twenty-fourth of February the team went to Ashland, and again the Ashland girls were defeated, this time by a score of I 4 to 9. After the game the Ashland High School students tendered the team a reception. On Saturday, April I, the girls went to Wakefield and were defeated by the score of 27 to 13. As no more games could be arranged, the team disbanded with very bright prospects of another successful season next year. 51 BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM (Reading from left to right.) Johnson, Tourtellot, Mr. Shaefer, (Coach); Bartlett, Anderson, Larson, Shaw. Coutch, (Captain). Bops’ Basketball Cram The boys’ basketball team was coached this year by Mr. Shaefer of the Manual Training department. The team was not as successful as it might have been, for the boys lacked the vim and the “go to it” spirit that predominated during the football season, but, nevertheless, much wras accomplished, and the school and basketball team are greatly indebted to Mr. Schaefer for his valuable services rendered during the basketball season. The material for a good team was never as bright as this year, and with the same players and more enthusiasm and spirit, the boys next year should be able to give their school a winning team. The regular lineup of the team was as follows: Center ..... Coutch Right Forward . . . Bartlett Left Forward . . . Tourtellot Right Guard . . . Larson, Shaw Left Guard . . Anderson, Johnson 53 TRACK TEAM R Thalner, C. Anderson, H. Fieldseth, F Trezise, J. Fish, R. Coutch. Crack Ceant Owing to the cold weather we have been having here this Spring, the candidates for the Track Team have not had a chance to get out for practice as yet. A prosperous season in this line of Athletics is looked for however, and as soon as possible the boys will be out. Thalner will show up well in the short runs, while Trezise will be “there” in the distances. Coutch can be relied upon in the hurdles and weights. Thalner and Anderson will have the discus. Fish demonstrated his ability in the jumps last year, and Fieldseth is the old stand-by pole-vaulter. These, with a few recruits, will make a winning team. 54 R. T„ ’ll. YELLS Rah! Rah! Rah Good!

To encourage the student, most high schools, and practically all preparatory institutions, colleges and universities award their athletes the school’s initial, monogram, or some other suitable symbol of honor for their athletic services to the school. For the past eight years it has been customary for the I. H. S. to give the initial “I” to all persons who have participated and have honorably earned a reward. The following is the list of persons who have received the coveted “I” during the past eight years. Irving Monroe Josiah Baillies George Abeel Ld. Lesselyoung Dennis Donavon Lrick Nyberg Dudley Houk Tom LaBlond 1906 Julius Johnson Joe LaBlond 1907 Ray Sampson Russel Coutch Silas Hough George Peterson 1908 Sigurd Nelson Erhard Ole Willard Holt Elven Natterblad Neil Geary John LaForge Lloyd Owen Harry Bay 1909 John Kennedy Rudolph Sanson Albert Rye Rhinehart Thalner Treffley Bartlett Clifford Larson John Drazkowski Fred Trezise Wilbur MacNamara Ed.

Holemo, one of the pioneer musicians of the city. Through his untiring efforts, the orchestra has reached a very high standard of perfection. Most of the members are students in the schools of Ironwood, or alumni of the High School. Hermean Literary Society The Hermean Literary Society of the high school, was organized in 1893, and its purpose and object, as then set forth, was to help the pupils of the school in public speaking and debating. In this respect, the society this year has been more successful than ever before. The programs, under the direction of the different members of the faculty, have been of the highest order of excellence, and have been both enjoyable and instructive. The debating teams this year have been carefully selected by the cabinet, while the questions debated have been topics of unusual interest. Among the subjects discussed were: Commission Government, Municipal Ownership of Street Railways, Increase of United States Naval Force, and the Popular Election of Senators. To the teachers and officers of the organization, is due great credit for the excellent work accomplished by the High School, during the past year in public speaking and debating. The officers of the Hermean Literary Society are as follows: Charles Anderson ....... President John Bloomstrom...............................................Vice-President Platt Tourtellot ........ Secretary Lloyd Larson ........ Treasurer Leo Johnson ....... Sergeant-at-Arms CABINET MEMBERS Maurice Lieberthal Treffley Bartlett Jessica Bond Minnie Gustafson Rudolph Nyman 58 SAM PATEK ROSE ROMAN _________ RH1NEHARTTHALNER Oratory and Declamation Training the student for public speaking in oratory and declamation, has been one of the principal aims of the high school, and to this end, the school has been very successful, and Ironwood has had many winners in this line of work. The oratorical and declamatory contests of the past two years have been unusually interesting, and the pupils chosen to represent us in the Division contest of the Chequamegon League, have been a credit to themselves and an honor to the school. Last year Sam Patek represented the school in oratory in the division contest of the Chequamegon League, held at Ironwood, April 22, and won first place. At Ashland, during the same month, he was awarded first place in the final contest of the League with his oration, “Toussaint L’ Overture,” which entitled him to the high honor of representing the northern district of Wisconsin in the State contest, held at Janesville. Rose Roman has for the past two years represented the school in declamation in the Division contest of the Chequamegon League, and also during the two years has been chosen for the final contest of the League held last year at Ashland, where she gave the selection entitled, “The Soul of the Violin,” and this year she was awarded third place at Superior with the declamation, “Mary’s Night Ride.” Rhinehart Thalner, our Senior orator, this year won laurels for his school, both at Park Falls, April 28 and at Superior May 5, where at the latter place he was awarded first place with the famous oration, “Emmett’s Last Speech.” This gives him the honor of representing the school and the Chequamegon League at the State contest, to be held in the near future in southern Wisconsin. Ironwood’s honors have all been well-earned and Rcse, Sam and Rhinefiart have merited the congratulations showered upon them. 59 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB right)—Maude Sl.de Dor.

Its productions have always been of high merit, and have included plays both musical and dramatic. The ninth annual performance of the club was given in the Pierce Theatre on February 9, 1911, and was pronounced by the large audience, which attended both performances, to be the best presentation ever given by the club. The club includes within its membership many people of marked ability, and its annual-performance is looked forward to with much pleasure.

D. 70 71 Senior Parties From the first of this year until the arrival of Lent, the students of the different classes had been busily planning for parties and spreads. Every class, even the Freshman class, was determined to get its share of the good times, and each class was determined not to be outdone by any other. The opening event of the season was a hop given by the Senior class. It had been unanimously decided that it should be a class affair, with the exception that the faculty were invited. There was the usual anticipation and busy preparation during the days preceding Friday, January the twentieth. In the evening of that day, about fifty pleasure-loving Seniors and the faculty assembled in the lower hall of the High School building. Excellent music for the dancing was furnished by one of the Junior girls, and every one responded to the merry strains. Ice cream and cake were served as freshments, and after more dancing the merry-makers departed for home, feeling that they had enjoyed themselves immensely. On the evening of February the third, the Athletic Association of the High School gave their last party of the series which had been given during the past year. It was given at the L. L. Wright building, and all the High School students and faculty were invited. A large number responded to the invitation, and those who did not care to dance entertained themselves in various ways. At eleven o’clock, the dancing was interrupted by the call to supper, to which every one did ample justice. This being over, the dancing was again resumed, and after a very enjoyable evening, the party broke up. On February the twenty-first, the Seniors gave another party. As usual dancing was the chief attraction, and before the party was over, every one who did not know how to dance, had been initiated into the alluring art. An enjoyable evening was spent by all those who attended. The next party to be given was a Freshman spread, which was held on the twenty-eighth of February. There was violin and piano music for dancing, and the Freshmen talked about the good time they had for a long time afterward. Perhaps the most hilarious of all the good times that the Seniors have had, was on the occasion when they went to Mt. Zion for a picnic. On May the twelfth, at 3:45, they left school. Miss Maher and Mr. Clarke acting as chaperones. Although the baskets were heavy and the walk seemed interminable, the destination was finally reached. The girls at once started to unpack the lunch, which consisted of an endless variety of dainties, the result of the girls’ Domestic Science training. Some of the boys carried water for the coffee from a spring near by, and the others made themselves as bothersome as possible. In the evening the party toasted marshmallows and told stories, after which they wended their way homeward, a tired, but happy crowd. A. W„ ’1 I. 72 The Junior Prom On March the third, a “Prom” was given by the Juniors at the Ironwood High School. The Class and their friends assembled about nine o’clock. Miss Bay and Louis Patek furnished the music for the evening. At twelve o’clock, lunch was served by a few Junior boys and girls, but unfortunately about two-thirds of the cakes were found very appetizing to some hungry Senior boys, assisted by a few others from the other classes, thus leaving many of the guests without a morsel to eat. Regardless of this incident, the “Prom” was quite a success. The guests departed at one o’clock at Mr. Nichols’ request, after spending a very enjoyable evening. E. J„ ’12. The Junior Reception The Junior-Senior Reception is usually regarded as the greatest social event of the year for the classes concerned. This year it was given at the Armory and about three hundred persons attended. Dancing commenced at ten o’clock and continued until the wee sma’ hours of morning. The large hall was tastily decorated in the colors of both the classes, and which with brilliant lights made the room as light as day. During the supper several overtures were played by the Temple Theatre orchestra which furnished music for the occasion. When the participators finally left, it was with a feeling of having thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the entire evening. “A Freshman Prom” On Friday. April 28, the Freshmen held their first party of the year in the school. All members were permitted to invite one of their firends, and all persons spent the evening dancing and other amusements save John Lofberg, who amused the Senior boys for some time by doing some “stunts” in his stocking feet on the cinder track, which surrounds the campus. The party broke up at 12:30, all persons declaring to having had a very enjoyable time. 73 An Essay One of our worthy Freshmen wrote the following essay on a “Boy and a Cow,” when a pupil in the primary grades. As a reminder of his “greener” days, we copy the essay. THE BOY AND THE COW. A boy was bringing the cow home. The boy have a long wipe, he is hitting the cow with it. the boy is bear-footed, he have long horns. 74 Presentation Speech of Mr. Watson at the Football Reception, Dec. 14th, 1910 Mr. Chairman and members of the football squad: I cannot express to you the joy I experienced last fall when Art. Redner consented to coach the team. The cloud that had darkened Longyear Field turned over, and its silvery splendor almost dazzled me. It has always been the policy of the Ironwood students to do well whatever they attempted—to exhaust their every resource for the accomplishment of any purpose. True, they have not won every athletic and intellectual contest, but with few exceptions, defeat was not ignominious. Now I shared the feeling of the students, the football players included, that the team last year failed to live up to the school’s standard, not because it was not conscientiously coached, for Mr. Adams made the school his debtor in his generous expenditure of time and faithful effort, but because the players did not seem to be in earnest. At the opening of the year, the demand was insistent for a winning team. Every day we were greeted with the remark, “Can’t you give us a winner for once?” or “You ought to have been here when Ironwood had a real team.” We had the material, there was no gain-saying that, and we had it last year. Why. in the alumni game Jack Drazkowski played against the High School like a young wild cat, and the alumni would have won if virtual young tigers had not opposed them. But we needed a coach. At this critical juncture. Art. Redner came to the rescue of his alma mater; our hearts fairly leaped for joy. There was no doubt of his ability, for he knows the game from A to Z, and then some of the Chinese alphabet. But, best of all, he is the exemplification of what a realy great player should be. I had heard of Art. Redner long before I become acquainted with him. He and Heston were known to the football world as the two fiercest line plungers in the whole United States. I had pictured him as a grim-visaged, unrelenting giant. Imagine my surprise to find that this gentle speaking, affable mannered and most courteous gentleman was none other than Michigan’s famous warrior. And what a rare experience to know a star football player, that one could love as well as admire. At last I had found a man who measured up to my ideal of an athlete. He was a living repudition of the old idea that a football player must demean himself like a savage. His clean character, his exemplary habits, were evidence that the proper participation in athletics does not produce a moral pervert, but developes the highest type of a manly man. You boys are to be congratulated that at this formative period of your life, you came under the influence of such a sterling character as Art. Redner. We have the utmost confidence in your future conduct. Now Art, the boys desire me to present you with this little gift. They have no thought that you will regard it as any attempt at compensation, but only that you will have some tangible expression of their hearty appreciation and good will. Wear this ring so long as you live, and ever remember that with it goes the admiration, the affection and the gratitude of the entire football squad. 75 THE BLACK AND COLD NAME NICKNAME FAVORITE EXPRESSION LIKES MOST HANGOUT Victoria Anderson “Vic Never Quarreling with Buff — Elkholms Anna Erickson Annie” “What do you know about that Doc Drug Store Allgot Johnson Peg 1 11 bet you on a quarter Experimenting Physics Lab.

On entering the assembly hall do not fail to make a low obeisance to your superiors, the Seniors. 2. On going to and from classes be sure to walk on your heals, and if you have “squeaky” shoes, do not hesitate to make many trips around the room for paper. 3. If visitors enter the room do not fail to stare at them, and tell the Sophomores how they look. 4. Do not stand near the radiators, as the extreme heat may fade your color. 5. When a Senior appears on the horizon, try to look dignified and intelligent. Be sure to carry the books you take home in a prominent position, but immediately cast them under the table on reaching your place of abode. 7. Be very careful to pass all notes sent by the Sophs, as they are very peevish, and are liable to become indignant if you fail to observe the courtesy. 8. It is your duty to amuse the first and second grades, do not fail to obey their slightest wish. 9. Do not, under any conditions, object to have your locks clipped, and be generous in providing your betters with candy, peanuts, etc. 10. Be sure to carve your illustrious name on all chairs and wood-work, thus leaving an indelible remembrance of your presence here. 11. In classes, when the last bell rings, get up and run before the teacher can assign a lesson. 12. When called upon to recite, do not hesitate to say, I don’t know.” I 3. The thermometers are not sanitary water fountains, but the scales upon which your monthly marks are balanced. 1 4. Do not walk on the grass, as starving bovines may mistake you for some new and delicious vegetable. 1 5. Spend all your spare moments at the reading table, you will gain the reputation of being a voracious reader. 16. The palms, which grow in the south side of the building, are not places of tete-atete, but a place of refuge when pursued by an irate instructor. I 7. Before coming to school, get a good supply of gum and chew vigorously during the school hours. 18. The red flowers, which bloom in profusion in the south windows, look well on a green background, it is your duty to wear them on all occasions. 19. On returning from classes, walk up the stairs double file, you will have the appearance of a military company. 20. Never divide by zero. 77 M. S„ ’ll. One of the musical Concerning the Glee Clubs ‘‘hits” of the Glee Clubs this year is the Encore, “Obituaries. The Girl’s Version of the song is:— Little Willie had a monkey, On a yellow stick. One day he sucked the paint all off, It made him deathly sick; No more he’ll tease the poor old cat. Or pull his tail for fun—just for fun. For Willie is an angel now. And Johnnie gets his gun. Johnnie had a looking glass, He ate the back all off. ’Cause Johnnie Green had told him It would cure the whooping cough. Next day his weeping mother sadly Said to Mrs. Brown—Mrs. Brown. 'Twas a chilly day for Johnnie When the mercury went down. In response to this, the boys sing:— Mary had a little lamb. It chewed some dynamite. A flash of fire, a loud report, It put them out of sight. No more she’ll squelch poor Johnnie Green, Or tease poor Willie Smith.—Willie Smith. For Mary is an angel now. And Susie gets her gum. Little Susie had a donkey. She gave it Hurley grog. ’Cause Jennie Green had told her It would jump up like a frog. Next day her weeping father sadly said To Mr. Krupp.—Mr. Krupp. ’Twas a sorry day for Susie When, the Donkey’s heels went up. 78 £ tutorial The first volume of the “Hematite” is forthwith offered to the public. As this is the first time the publication of an Annual has been attempted in the Ironwood High School, we hope it will meet the requirements of a High School edition in recording the important events of a year, in turning the thoughts of the Alumni to their Alma Mater, in showing the successes of the school, and finally in bringing all people in closer touch with their own institution. The “Hematite” Board desires to express their indebtedness to Mr. Watson, for his correction of papers and other assistance. Also to Mr. Brennan for his excellent advise and the compiling the Alumni List, also to all other persons having anything whatsoever to do with the publishing and success of the “Hematite.” One of the features of the “Hematite” is the Alumni List, which gives the names and addresses of all the graduates of the High School since its organization. In presenting this book to the public, we realize that it is not a work of perfection. In some instances it does not come up to our expectations, but we exhort the class of ’12 to profit by our errors and publish the banner edition of the ‘ Hematite. Nevertheless, we have done our best, and, with this thought, we lay aside our quills, and await the verdict of the public. 79 Sanbrrgrounfcs A Tribute I stood upon the mountain and looked upon the plain. I saw a lot of green stuff, that looked like waving grain, I looked a little closer, I thot it must be grass, For glory on my honor, it was our Freshman class.—Ex. 80 Heard in the Classes. Leonard Bray: “What makes this jar turn green when I pour water into it?’’ Instructor (in Physics) : “The reflection of your face.” Mr. Watson (to Student) : “I’ve taught you all I know, and now you don’t know anything.” Teacher: “Robert Wilson, why did the boy stand on the burning deck?” Robert: “Because it was too hot to sit on.” History teacher: “Carlton, have you read the Declaration of Independence?” Carlton Fox: “No!” Teacher: “Have you read the Constitution of the United States?” Carlton Fox: “No!” Teacher: “What have you read?” Carlton: “I have red hair!’’ Dora Watters (In Physics Class) : “A Geissler tube is a glass tube full of nothing.” Sam Patek (in Geometry) : “Since these angles are equal, by the theory of deduction, H-O-G equals M-E.” Miss Carter: “Lucile, where was Goethe, the German poet born?” Lucile Kluck: “In Waterloo.” Celia Nelson (reciting in History) : “Martin Luther wrote 95 theses, and nailed them on the church of the door.” Small Boy (at Ironwood-Escanaba Football Game, yelling for Escanaba) : “Plow through them, papa!” Fish and Bonds are being closely watched by Leader. Rayner Leader (in study room) : Mr. Clark, may I go down to the Chemistry Laboratory?” Mr. Clark: “What for? Rayner: “I want to brush my hair. After all these brawls and fights. After all these quarrels and scraps, It’s a wonder that dear little Annie Isn’t mad at her dear little “Cats.” 81 Resolved, That George Winchester knows more than Theodore Roosevelt. Turn failure into victory. Don’t let your courage fade; And if you get a lemon. Just make some lemonade. Mr. Kitzmiller (in Assembly room) : “Will the room please stop walking around!” How many times have we heard Olga Runstrom say: “Well, when I get mad, you just better look out!” We do hope that we may be furnished with reserved-seats for the exhibition. Carl Anderson: “How many jewels are there in your watch, James?” James Fish: “Eighteen.” Carl: “How’s that, I never heard of that number before.” James: “Well, you see there are 17 in the movement, and Jessica’s picture; that makes 1 8.’’ Lilly Nelson: “How do you make plaster-of-paris for this experiment?” Mr. Clark: “Mix the powder with water.” Lilly: “Where will I get the powder?” Mr. Clark: “Oh, scrape your face.” “Buff” Bartlett (to Lucile Norris: “Roses are red, violets are blue, I pity the man who marries you.” George Brenzel had his “annual smile” on when the Sophomore pictures were taken. This is so rare that the photographer is thinking seriously or raising the price from 75c to $1.50. We wonder will happen when— Mr. Watson forgets to say: “Did you ever stop to think of that before?” : “Think it over!” Miss Maher: “For you next theme!’’ Mr. Bucklin: “Because!” Mr. Clark: “Ye-es!” Mr. Kitzmiller: “Meet me in the Alcove!” Miss Janet Goudie: “Children, stop your talking!” Miss Jean Goudie: “By the way!” Miss Carter: “This German class may remain after school!” Mr. Woodward: “Well, which is it?” 82 The Freshmen are warned not to stand near the radiators, as heat is likely to evaporate their mental faculties. Little Charles Holman with his hand and pen, Will be a man, but God knows when. Suggested questions for a Physics exam. 1. How many wives had Pascal? Who was Archimedes housekeeper? 2. In a fire-drill in a Jewish school in Hurley, the pupils are going out at the rate of 22 kilometers per minute per second; and the velocity of the teachers is inversely proportional to the length of the staircase. Where are the janitors? 3. What is the mechanical advantage of a button-hook? 4. How do you choke a gram? Have you had the measles? How many? 5. Define force, grape-nuts, mass, volume, dyne, free-lunch, charley-horse. John Bloomstrom: “I thought you took Algebra the last half!” Harland Wudtke: “I did, but the faculty encored me.” Robert Keig: “Who is that fellow with the flags around his legs?’’ Robert Wilson: “O, that’s only George Nelson wearing his new socks.” Rain or shine,j mud or sleet, Wherever you go, you see Waples big feet. Harold Waples became so facinated by his beauty, that he got in front of a looking-glass, and closed his eyes, to see how he looked when he was asleep. Raise your hand when you want to whisper, and stand on the person you want to talk to. If you don’t, you’ll have to stay after school every night from now until dooms day.—Mr. Bucklin. During the trip to Escanaba last fall, a gentleman on the train sat on Mr. Nicholls’ hat and ruined it. He asked damages, and after, Mr. Watson was heard to say, to him: “Mr. Nicholls, didn’t it hurt your Methodist conscience to ask $2.00 for that hat?” “But 1 didn’t ask $2.00 for it,” replied Mr. Nicholls. “What did you ask?” asked Mr. Watson. “I asked $2.50,” was the reply. 83 Senior and Junior in Conversation. Senior: “I hear President Taft hasn’t slept for ten days.” Junior: “What's the trouble?” Senior: “He sleeps at night.” Algebra Instructor: “What is nothing divided by two (0—2)?” Student: “A kiss.” Many a girl thinks she has broken her heart when she has just sprained her imagination. Mother: “Johnny, why is it that you stand so much lower in your studies in January than in December?” Johnny: “Oh, everything is marked down after the holidays.” “Now then, men,” cried the gallant captain, “fight like heroes till your powder’s done, then run for your lives. I’m a little lame, so I’ll start now.”—Ideas. “I hear you’re the flower of the family!’’ “Yes,-----a blooming idiot.”—Ex. Of all the sad words ever uttered by men The saddest are these: “I’m stung again.”—Harold Hammond. Previous to the Oratorical Contest, Leonard and Rhinehart Thalner did a good deal of rehearsing at their home. Mr. Thalner, in speaking of it said, “We have Leonard yelling in the cellar, and Rhinehart in the attic, giving passers-by the impression that our residence is becoming a Temple of Liberty.” 84 FINIS 85 List of Advertisers Anderson and Silberg.
