John C. Watson, Principal, was bom in Livingston, Wisconsin. He graduated from Lancaster High School, and received his University education at Wisconsin and Michigan. After leaving the University, he taught for two years at the High School of Argyle, Wis., and six years at Racine College, a boys’ school. He came to Ironwood as principal of the High School in 1909, and has continued in that capacity since then. John C. Watson. Hon. Luther L. Wright. Superintendent of Public Instruction John V.

Wright High School THE ANNUA 11 PROF. E. T. NICHOLLS. I here is perhaps no person in this community who has been so long associated with the Ironwood schools, as our genial janitor, E. T. Nicholls, who has spent the last twenty years as caretaker of the schools of this City. Besides attending diligently to his duties as janitor of the high school building, he is of very great service to the students. He pays a great deal of attention to high school activities. During the football season, “Prof.” appears without fail every Saturday afternoon, attired in his “Prince Albert” to sell tickets for the games and to assist the boys in any other way possible. The football boys show their appreciation for his services by inviting him to accompany them annually on a trip to one of their biggest out-of-town games. dewey McCarthy and his dog rover. The year of 1898 was a thriller. Lots of things happened. As Honorable Hiram K. Plunkett, the silver tongued bugle from Podunk might have said, “It tore away the flood-gates that had held the currents of American civilization in check and permitted said currents to flow joyously to all lands and to bathe their shores with glory.” Or adopting the laconic style of Mr. Finnegan to Mr. Flannigan, “The M aine blew up, the American people blew off and Spain was blown back over the Atlantic.” Accepting either version, you must be convinced that it was rather an important cycle. But one big event of that year hasn’t been recorded, at least not yet. However, let us be patient. It is customary n European countries to announce the birth of an heir to the throne by the booming of cannon, but in America we reverse the process. Anyway it was reversed in one notable instance. The hills around Santiago harbor had scarcely ceased reverberating the sounds that came from the guns of Sampson’s fleet, when the home of Dennis McCarthy, was gladdened--by the advent of c fine sturdy boy, a most valuable addition to the millions of American sovereigns. You may be sure that he was at once the center of attraction. And why shouldn’t he 12 have been? He was the very picture of health and as sound as a bell from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. But if anyone doubted his physical perfection, the lusty yells he emitted banished all fears. Naming the boy was a real problem. The natural thing to have done would have been to name him for the hero of Santiago, but as Sampson and Schley could not agree as to who the real hero was, his parents decided to name him for the man whose title was undisputed. During the period of his babyhood, he received every attention. In fact, he insisted upon the immediate satisfaction of all his wants. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would arouse the household, and would refuse to be pacified until his father had convinced him that Dewey was the whole naval squadron, so to speak. In due course of time, he learned to walk. Then the real troubles of the McCarthys began. Never did any boy, so thoroughly explore his environment. Every discovery was announced by a racket, and as he found something new every second, he kept the house in a continual din from morning until night. Yet the music of a symphony never sounded half so sweet to the ears of his parents as did Dewey’s noise. There wasn’t a stronger, healthier youngster in Ironwood than he was at the age of five years. His place in the line of future football teams was assured beyond a doubt. But that year he was the victim of an accident that caused paralysis of his legs from the knees down. It was a sad blow to the family. Many others would have lost heart completely. But after they had recovered from the effect of the first shock, they reasoned the matter out philosophically. His good sound brain had not been impaired and he had perfect use of his hands. But best of all, he still had a song of hope in his heart. So a little wagon and a sled were provided for him, and ever since it is by these conveyances that he is able to get to and from school. In the schoolroom, a willing boy, especially the big-hearted Emil Bellehumeur, carries him from one recitation room to another. If assitance is not at hand, he gets down and crawls, always wearing a broad smile. But about two years ago, he experienced his greatest joy, when he became the owner of Rover. Rover is a dog, as you may have guessed and from now on he is the hero of my narrative. He was born in Hurley on the 1 7th day of March, 1911. What a grand day to be born, especially for a dog that is to be the companion of an Irish boy. That birthday must have given a charm to Rover’s life for while he was yet a puppy, he was struck by a train and so severely injured that his owner, thinking he could not recover, gave him to Dewey, because he would be kindly-treated for the short time he had to live. Well, Dewey no sooner set his eyes and hands upon that beautiful dog, than he made up his mind that he wasn’t going to let Rover die, and Rover liked Dewey so well that he concluded to postpone his demise. Careful nursing worked wonders. Soon Rover was as vigorous as he would have been had he never seen a train. As soon as he had grown large enough, Dewey hitched Rover to the wagon. Never was there an apter pupil. There may be wiser dogs than Rover, but I have never heard of them. Dewey attended St. Ambrose school until he reached the Eighth Grade and then he was sent to the Central. During that year, Dewey usually drove Rover home for dinner, but when he came to the Luther L. X right for the first time, he brought his lunch along. Rover had remained around the outside door all forenoon “waiting patiently for his master to appear” and when he saw the boys come down the stairs without Dewey, he hardly knew what to do. Suddenly he ran into the building and searched through every room. Finally almost desparate he reached the third floor. He burst into the auditorium and when he saw Dewey, he was so wild with delight that he literally jumped all over him. Then he stood off a few feet and barked at Dewey with vigor and directness. We didn’t quite understand the purport of his remarks, but Dewey, who interprets dog language as well as he does English, patted him affectionately and replied, “All right. Rover, I’ll tell you where I am going next time.” After which, they repaired to the fire escape and partook of their mid-day meal. They must have keenly relished the lunch or their appearance was most deceptive. 13 When Rover first came into the high school, he was given an ovation that was most flattering. He received his honors with becoming modesty, but as some persisted in keeping him in the limelight he very soon manifested his disapproval. He had too much sense to allow himself to become a “spoiled” dog. He wanted to carry on his investigations quietly without being molested. His wishes have been respected and since the first week, he has attracted no more attention, apparently, than the other students. Most of the time he roams around the basement or the first two floors, and once in a while he comes in to inspect the high school. If Dewey happens to be attending a class. Rover goes sniffing around the desks until he comes to one where a junior or senior girl has secreted some cookies. There he will remain looking steadily at the rather embarrassed girl, as much as to say, “I know you have something good to eat in that desk and I would like a part of it. You may fool the teachers, but you can’t fool me.” He is always rewarded. Ocassionally, he escorts two other dogs around the building. That he fully instructs them in the etiquette of visitation is very evident. He leads them to the door of each class room and when the teacher appears, he wags his tail in a friendly manner, looks at the teacher and then at his comrades which means, “Miss Goudie, permit me to introduce Mr. Tag and Mr. Rip. They are engaged in missionary work along the streets and through the alleys of our city.” After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they pass on to the next room until a complete tour has been made of the second floor. Once they stopped at the door of the chemistry laboratory and Rover seemed to be telling the other dogs something that gave him much pleasure. Of course we didn’t know what he said to them and Dewey wasn’t there to interpret but we surmised that he said, “Here is where they test milk, baking powder, butter and other foods. When they get to the examination of sausages, and give the packers away, we dogs won’t have to run so fast.” Janet Galbraith Goudie. Ironwood High School, 1898. University of Michigan, A. B., 1904.

It was the first building in Michigan to be erected exclusively for this purpose. T heschool was open for work about the 1st of March, of the same year. The first superintendent of the Domestic Science work was Miss Jameson, a graduate of Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Jameson and one assistant conducted both the sewing and cooking departments during the first year’s work. In 1 909 the building was enlarged and the size of the school was almost doubled. As the building now stands, it contains on the upper floor two large kitchens, a living room, a bed room, a bathroom, and two butlers pantries, and on the lower floor, three sewing rooms, a fitting room, a supply room and an office. Miss Stetson, a graduate of Pratt Institute, had charge of the work from September, 1904, to June, 1908. Miss Schurtz, a graduate of Stout Institute had charge of the work in 1909 and 1910. Miss Cora Burdick, a graduate of Stout Institute, had charge of the building since 1910, and four other teachers are employed in the various departments. The courses have been so arranged that any girl going through high school, o partly through, will have enjoyed the benefits of both the sewing and cooking departments. During the fifth and sixth grades, girls are taught hand sewing, mending of all kinds, and the making of simple garments. Girls of the seventh and eighth grades are taught elementary cooking, something of the study of foods and food values, and the general care of a house. During the ninth and tenth grades, the girls continue their training in sewing, taking advanced in sewing, and fitting. The cooking course is completed in the eleventh and twelfth grades. The training of these last two years comprises advanced cooking, household management, and serving of meals. The course in serving is very practical, each girl having a chance to be hostess, host, waitress and cook at different times and entertaining different guests. Throughout all the Domestic Science course the work has been designed and laid out with a view to the greatest practicability, so that any girl graduating from the Ironwood High school who has taken this course in Domestic Science will be well versed in the fundamental principles of good housekeeping, and able to enter a home and manage it in the way it should be managed. 22 Interior Views of the Manual Training School. 23 MANUAL TRAINING. Manual Training has been a regular course in the public schools of Ironwood since the year 1908 when regular work was begun from the eighth grade up. During the last two years the boys of the sixth and seventh grades have been instructed in the simpler courses. The Manual Training course consists of bench work, cabinet-making, woodturning, patternmaking, foundry work, machine shop work, and blacksmithing. 1 he Manual Training building is a large two-story structure containing numerous rooms for the different kinds of work. The basement is used for foundry work and blacksmithing. The equipment is of the best kind to insure satisfactory work. In the foundry room which is on the right are materials for casting and molding. In one corner is a cupola that is used for the melting of iron when casting. The room across is the forge-room. 1 his room is equipped with forges and anvils for blacksmith work. The forges are provided with a very convenient blast and exhaust system. Besides these rooms there are also several storerooms and a boiler room. On the second floor are the machine shop and the wood-turning rooms. The machine shop contains six large lathes for metal turning, a planer, a milling machine, a shaper, two drills, a saw, and two grinders. All these machines are run by electric power. This room also has a tool-cage where all tools are kept. A check system is used to keep track of all tools given out. Time and job-cars on which each is given the time and cost for doing a certain job have been used this year for the first time. The wood-turning room which is right across from the machine shop is larger than the latter. There are eighteen wood-turning lathes in this room to each of which is attached a work bench with all necessary tools for carpenter work and cabinet-making. The larger pieces of machinery in the room are saws and planers. The upper floor is used for bench work and mechanical drawing. 1 he bench-work room has a set of twenty-two work-benches each with the necessary tools. The drawing room is larger and is equipped with twenty-four desks each containing a drawing set. The courses in Manual Training are divided according to the grades beginning with the sixth grade. The bench or carpenter-work is begun in the sixth grade and continued through the eighth. The ninth grade boys spend a semester at cabinet-making and one at wood-turning and the tenth grade boys have wood-turning one semester and foundry work the next. The machine shop and blacksmith work are also divided in the same way. The drawing classes are from the seventh grade up, each successive grade taking a more advanced course. 21 John Somppi, the valedictorian of the class of 1913, is a fine type of student. He is a good example of what the Ironwood school system develops when a boy with industry and spirit avails himself of its opportunities. John has become what he is, a noble, manly fellow with any amount of ability, by virtue of two distinct forces; first the one of inheriting from his parents splendid qualities of mind, and heart and body, the other of attending the Ironwood schools through the twelve grades, thus having the advantage of a system so flexible as to meet the individual needs of each and every student and to insure the highest development of every faculty. Surely this school was the agency that brought his many talents to the light. It has proved him to be a most versatile fellow. Any student of the high school can tell you of his prowess on the grid- iron, of his talent as an artist, of his skill in the use of machinery; but his most impressive characteristic is his utter trustworthiness. People will put their money into his bank, or will feel safe in riding behind the locomotive of which he is the engineer, or will tell him their troubles, knowing that he will not abuse their confidence. We predict for him a career of noteworthy achievement and we will not be disappointed if he keeps his present vigorous health. His average for the four years is 94.7. DOROTHY Snavely, the Salutatorion, was a close second for the highest honor of her class, receiving an average of 94.2 for her four years’ work. That she richly deserves the place, is beyond question. The school is fortunate in being able to bestow an honor upon one so worthy. She, too, is a product of the Ironwood schools. From the time she entered the kindergarten up through the present year, she has joined heartily in its activities. In the recitation room she was ever alert, ever ready, and the uniformly excellent standings of her class, have been due in great measure to the inspiration of her leadership. But more than that, her enthusiasm has pervaded the entire school and quickened the spirit to a marked degree. She has had free scope for the exercise of her abilities and she utilized it in such a way as to leave the impress of her personality upon the school. We need not detail the things that she has accomplished, nor the many talents she has exhibited. It is enough to say that students and teachers alike, keenly regret that her connection with the high school, is to end in June. However, much of the credit of her success is due to her parents, for in addition to endowing her with superior mental equipment, they have given to her work, intelligent supervision and to her teachers cordial co-operation. 26 I 31 32 33 38 39 .10 40 51 52 53 32 (Elaaa 1— Edward Anderson.

No one who saw the play given by the graduating class of 1912, will be likely to forget “What Happened to Jones.” The amusing adventures of that interesting character were realistically depicted by the cast and of a nature to draw repeated laughs from the audience. The play was particularly well adapted to its purpose. It called for thirteen characters, all having speaking parts and so gave an opportunity for more of the class to take part in the performance than most plays of its kind would have done. It was besides a play with an exceptionally good plot and one which contained a great many good lines. The part of Jones, the breezy salesman, who gets into so many trying or amusing situations, while in his enforced pose as the Bishop of Ballarat, only to come out of each successfully, was taken by Will Lory who entered into his part in the manner of a seasoned actor and seemed to enjoy as much as did the audience, the privileges granted him as the supposed uncle of the charming daughter and ward of Ebenezer Goodly. I he part of Helma, the Swedish servant girl was taken very cleverly by Olga Runstrom. Every one who took part deserves special credit for the success of the performance.

The Hermean Literary Society was organized 'n 1893. The object of the organization is to fit the students of the high school for public speaking. Meetings are held every two weeks of the school year, when interesting and instructive programs are rendered, the debates, current topics and school “Hematites” being the chief features. Instrumental and vocal music furnished by the high school students, teachers and choruses, adds greatly to these programs. The officers of the society are chosen by ballot. The 1912-13 election campaign offered more competition for the offices than any other in the history of the high school, there being a third party, the Sophomore “Progressives,” in addition to the usual Junior parties. The present officers are as follows: President—Gordon Reed. Vice President—Will Wright. Secretary—Eunice Stevens. Treasurer—Elsie Lofberg. Sergeant-at-arms—Inez Rowe. GORDON REED CABINET MEMBERS.

Clarence Holt, 08, Secretary. George Nelson, ’12, Treasurer. The Ironwood High School Alumni Association marked the close of the school year with its annual banquet, held on the twenty-first of June at the Elks Hall in honor of the class of 1912, Percy S. Williams (’99) acted as toastmaster. The speakers of the evening were Mr. Brewer, Arthur Redner (’00), Mrs. McNamara (’97), Jean Goudie (’04), Clyde Urquhart (’01), and Sam Patek (’12). An informal dance was held after the banquet. During the past winter the Alumni Association has been definitely named and organized and its purpose defined as “the promotion of a spirit of loyalty to the Ironwood High School, and of fellowship among its graduates.” One informal party has been held in the Domestic Science School in March. Another such gathering is planned, as well as the informal banquet given at the end of each year to welcome the graduating class to the ranks of the Alumni. 45 THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. The members of the Athletic Association are elected early in the fall. The duties of the association are to promote athletics and create a deeper interest in the school activities. This year, in order to make it a school rather than a class affair, there was one vice president chosen from each class. The following make up the board. John Blomstrom, President. Albertina Anderson, Senior Vice President. Eldo Hoffman, Junior Vice President. Jean Healy, Sophomore Vice President. Will Wright, Freshman Vice President. Arthur Peterson, Secretary.

The Watson Musical Club, formerly known as the Girls’ Glee Club, was organized in 1910 by Mr. Watson. The Club started with about fifteen members at first, and since 1910 its members have increased until about thirty girls are proud to wear its pin. The Club changes as each class of Seniors leaves school, but it has never lost a member whose place was not ably filled by some student of the lower classes, and each year the club improves. Mr. Watson’s valuable training is most sincerely appreciated by the girls, and it is considered an honor to own a W. M. C. pin. Until this year no pin had been chosen but the girls are delighted by this new feature, and we believe that it will prove an added inducement during the next year for the girls to try for a place in the Watson Musical Club. The following is a list of its members: First Soprano Lillie Anderson Gladys Banfield Dorothy Snavely Gladys Baker Olive Truan Lucile Anderson Alice May First Alto Eva Rowell Martha Peterson Lucile Kluck Marjorie Snavely Margaret Chisholm Marjorie Frace h rancis Anderson Second Soprano Minnie Gustafson Albertina Anderson Gertrude Alexander Edna Backon Maurine Rogers Amanda Palmquist Helen Richards Inez Rowe Second Alto Mae Wright Lucy Abli Jean Heal’ Pearl Silberg © © The Boys’ Glee Club. The Boys’ Glee Club this year under the leadership of Mr. Watson, not withstanding the fact that it had very few rehearsals, has developed into one of excellence. The club has yearly increased in size and is now the largest and best in the history of the High School. The boys have made few appearances in public but with their music have added greatly to the programs and entertainments given at the school. The members of the club are as follows: First Tenor John Blomstrom George Bickford Herbert Johnson George Brenzel Second Tenor Paul Lieberthal Leonard I halner Arthur Tresize Elmer Johnson Lloyd Larson Clarence McDuffie Emil Bellehumeur First Bass Rudolph Nyman Arthur Peterson Fred Gretzinger Emiel Kiel Roy Smith Ed. Carlson Ledger Brenzel George Dear Dave Ryan Dave Larson Second Bass Chas. Shaw Carleton Fox Mauritz Hedin JUNIOR PICNIC 1912 62 The Mixed Chorus. The High School Mixed Chorus was organized this year by Mr. Watson. The Chorus has been very successful so far, and the work is thoroughly enjoyed by the members. Hereafter this Mixed Chorus is to be organized each year, and like the Glee Clubs, will be a permanent feature of the High School. Its members are as follows: Soprano Gladys Banfield Dorothy Snavely Gladys Baker Alto Gertrude Alexander Mae Wright Edna Bachon Pearl Silberg Tenor John Blomstrom George Bickford George Brenzel Bass Charles Shaw Mauritz Hedin Carleton Fox Leonard Thalner G3 THE BETTER MAN. The annual Junior play entitled The Better Man,” was presented by the class ol 1914, in the auditorium. The play was written by Edna Backon and was a splendid success. It is an excellent piece of work and was very capably presented by the Juniors. I wo years ago Eda Johnson wrote a play entitled “The Duke de Chauteu-rien. Last year Mauntz Hedm wrote one called “ 1 he Ten of Hearts.” This writing ol a play is to be made a permanent feature of the Junior work, and it is a great honor lor the one whose play is chosen. In this year s play each actor went through his part without a break and the close of every act was loudly applauded. The speech and actions of the Irish policemen, Cassidy and O’Brien, “yours truly,” brought down the house with applause and laughter. CAST OF CHARACTERS.

Jack Rawdon, a young engineer, returns from the West, broken in health and penniless. He finds a room at Oak Inn, and Hugh Sanford, a spendthrift friend of his often visits him. Hugh one day comes in very much excited, because he has forged his father’s name to a check, and his father who has discovered the forgery swears that he will not give up until he has punished the forger. Jack Rawdon, knowing that his life is only a matter of a few days, writes a confession stating that he has forged the check, which he gives to Hugh. Cora Ryan, the maid, overheard the talk and later upsets the plans. Hugh later goes to Betty Sheldon, his fiancee, and talks about Jack w'ho it seems was a school-chum of hers. She immediately gets Dr. Jefferson, a noted physician, to attend him. In a few weeks Jack recovers. Hugh finally sends the confession to the detectives, and the Irish policemen come to arrest Jack. Cora suspects something wrong when he is arrested on his confession for forgery, and having considered all she had heard she picks out the real forger. Later she is engaged by Miss Betty as a maid in the Sheldon home and writes letters to Hugh, Mr. Sanford and Jack requesting them to be there that night. They arrive and she tells who is the forger and why Jack signed the confession. Betty gives Hugh back his ring and “The Better Man” wins Betty, his school-mate. THE STAGS. History tells us of the recluse, the hermit, him to whom the dazzling light and surging throngs have beckoned all in vain. Were we to write the history of the Stags we could only chronicle another of the many withdrawals from the social whirl. Two years ago, several prominent society men of the High School met one balmy evening on the back campus. There was a definite aim, a fixed purpose—emancipation. Emancipation from the exactions of social life. A constitution was drawn up, an appropriate name adopted, an elaborate system of fines instituted, and the Stags began its anti-matrimomal career, each member vowing never again to take a social plunge. Beginning in sport, the Stags has become a definite organization, with plans and ideals. The next year will pass much as has the last, with meetings and feeds at the members’ houses, surprise parties, and as an added feature the 3rd Annual Stag Ball. 6« BAKER’S DOZEN. On the evening of December first, thirteen boys met and organized a club. The name chosen was Baker s Dozen; but the members are generally known as the Bull Dogs inasmuch as the Bull Dog, Paniculus, is their mascot. They organized for the purpose of promoting interest in high school activies. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Counceilor, Mr. T. S. Hook; President, Will Wright; Vice President, Leonard Nettleblad, Secretary and Treasurer, Craig Turner. A number of meetings have been held at the houses of the different members, where after the business session, the evening has been given over to having a good time. So far the club has entertained only its own mmbers; but it is the high hope of the club that they may in the near future include others in their fun. YELL We’re tough and terrible when we please. We’re hard to curry and full of fleas We’re wild and woolly and notched like a saw Baker’s Dozen Raw! Raw! Raw! Colors: Old gold and white. Motto: Use your head and not your heels. 67 THE T. C. T. CLUB. The T. C. T. Club is a society of H. S. boys. The name is secret as are also its intentions, but a true H. S. spirit is predominant. The club meets every time the boys feel enthusiastic, or whenever they have a craving appetite for “Dutch eats!” They are a most brilliant bunch of songsters and serenade quite frequently. The members of the club are: Gorden Reed, Eldo Hoffman, Edwin Carlson, George Brenzel, Fred Gret-zinger, Leonard Thalner, Lloyd Larson, Mauritz Hedin, Carlton Fox, John Blomstrom. Mr. Upthegrove, “chaperon.” .t FOOTBALL. At the first call for candidates for the football team more than thirty players responded. Prospects for a winning team looked exceptionally bright with such a husky bunch of players and there was spirit galore. But fortune soon frowned upon us and many obstacles arose. To begin with, word came that Mr. Redner would be unable to coach this year. For two years Coach Redner had handled the team, and showed his ability as coach by making a winning team in 191 I out of green material. In 1910 the team under Coach Redner’s direction gave Escanaba the hardest fight in her career for the U. P. championship. The knowledge that Mr. Redner was not to be with the boys this years was a hard jolt, but the I. H. S. spirit was not to be downed. A new coach was secured m the person of Dr. Kelly. Ram, snow or shine “Doc” was present, either running the boys up and down the field through signals, refereeing when the regulars and scrubs rubbed shins with each other in scrimmage. At four o’clock when all the boys were out kicking the pigskin “Doc’s” car would appear and from that time until the shades of evening began to fall the boys worked hard under Coach Kelly’s directions. The team was slowly whipped into shape and all the boys realized that an exceptionally hard schedule of games had been arranged. Coach Kelly deserves much credit for his work and also because he so willingly gave his assistance at a moment’s notice when it was found out Mr. Redner could not coach. The boys that worked under him appreciate his help in making a creditable team for the school. The I. H. S. football team at the end of the season had lost four games and won four, but they kept up the true Ironwood High School spirit and showed themselves good losers when the occasion required. Three trips were taken, and both on the football field and off, the boys were true to I. Ff. S. Captain Blomstrom, at full-back and right-end, hurling his massive form and strength at the opposing line, tore large holes in it. Dave Ryan, at left half, was a worker all the time and wherever the ball vas, there was Dave. “Ed-nites” Carlson or Babe” Ploffman at right half on the signal 28-03-46 could be depended on to make a thrilling end run. “Somppi” John at quarter-back and right end, though small in size, made both large and small fall by his sensational tackles. John’s playing was in genuine university style. Helvetii” Ward and “Gritz Gretzinger caused many an onrushing wedge-shaped interference to topple over their well directed plungers. “Flunks” O’Leary at the right tackle never lost his spirit and was able to tell good old Irish jokes though under one and twenty players. “Cork” Brenzel and “Herb” Johnson at left guard or right tackle took out all, and disposed of them in quick time. “Squint Gardner and Pinky” Fox at center were the pillars of the team and bore the brunt of many a center rush. “Naaman” Nyman and “Ludd” Larson at right guard over and over again received the broadside of the opponent’s attack without a waver. “Mutt” Hedin at right tackle and full-back played his own consistent game and had the real goods. “Stuffy” Thalner and “Dodd” Larson at right end and quarterback, though small in size, seemed to our opponents to cover considerable area when an attempt was made to pass them. Other players who loomed up distinctly in the football horizon are: Chester Clemens, William Burns, John Haekkinen, Joe Slyvinski, Herman Leader and Hawley Tew. 71 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL. The basketball season, though entered into with good enthusiasm and support, was not as much of a success as could be desired. Practice began in earnest at Christmas and the girls turned out in good numbers. They were encouraged at winning from the alumni and they continued to put in a great deal of effort, time and enthusiasm. The illness of several of the best players, and the freezing temperature of the Armory which made practice a hardship, contributed toward defeat now and then, but on other occasions we were bravely outplayed. In all of the match games played both at home and out of town, the spirit before, after, and during the game was admirable. There was friendliness and good feeling and a sense of fair play, in spite of occasional dissatisfaction with rulings and friction among players which is hardly avoidable and is forgotten immediately. The basket-ball girls and other girls of the high school did their utmost to make the stay of the visiting team interesting and pleasant. In turn our team was received very hospitably and cordially on its various visits. Though the season was cut short by the lack of a practice floor, and though it brought defeat with success, the basket-ball team was admirable in spirit and represented the high school ably and honorably. THE BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM. The boys’ basketball team this year proved in spite of many handicaps to be the best team the high school has ever produced. The boys were fortunate in having for coach Mr. Hahn, a star basket-ball player who played several seasons with the famous Stout Institute quintet. He deserves the credit for the snappy plays and long throws which our boys pulled off successfully in every game this season. Although our team had no gymnasium to practice in and played in a cold hall on an average of one hour a night, it was defeated on its home floor by only one regular team. It requires some determination to play in a hall where the thermometer registers 30 degrees, but it takes more than cold to daunt the courage of a high school team and as usual our boys stuck to the team to the end of the season. The boys who played on the second team deserve to be complimented for coming out every night to play against the first team, and they acquitted themselves creditably in every match game. 73 The first game of the season was with the alumni which our team duly defeated the score of 25 to 21. The next game was with Wakefield and proved an easy victory, our team winning by a score of 54 to 30. No doubt Rhinelander came up here with the intention of duplicating the football victory but they found a hard proposition and Ironwood took the game by a score of 25—21. Washburn brought up a strong team but our team gave them the run of their lives. The teams were almost evenly matched and the outcome during the whole game seemed dubious. Washburn, however, won this game by a narrow margin, and a later game played at Washburn. When our team went to Bessemer, it was with the intention of winning, although Bessemer claimed to have a strong team. The hall was not large enough to use successful teamwork, the game nevertheless being a close one from beginning to end. The Bessemer team, being more used to playing in the hall, won by one point with a score of 20—19. The return game played here was forfeited to Ironwood. The faculty team composed of old stars or would-be’s descended upon the high school team and won a decisive victory by one point. Our redoubtable coach, Mr. Hahn, showed the boys that he could practice what he preached and Cluley, Upthegrove, Schaeffer and Hook showed form. Our hopes for the 1913-14 season are better than this season’s, and with the material we have a championship team is expected. FIELD HOCKEY. Field hockey was introduced into girls’ athletics in the fall of this year and ought to prove more successful with each year on account of the facilities for the game and the advantages to be derived from it. The extent and good surface of the football field together with its proximity to the high school are of great importance. Being an out-of-door sport and lively, hockey is most healthful, and a splendid relaxation after school hours. The rules are simple and the game is not rough if played correctly, and a little practice ensures that. The boys were exceedingly amiable about giving up the field to the girls on two afternoons of the week, and themselves practiced on the baseball grounds. The girls turned out in good numbers, almost always more than the game required, twenty-two. The freshmen were most enthusiastic; so much that they had a team of their own, while the three upper-classes combined to form a second team. The girls grasped the game quickly, and developed quite admirable skill. Of three match games intended, only one could be played on account of bad weather conditions. This was played after a football game, and was closely fought by the two teams, which were closely matched. Finally a minute before the time was up, the upper classmen made one goal, thus winning by one point, the chamionship of the hockey season. TEAMS.

After having been dormant for several seasons, track interest at I. H. S. was revived last spring, and altho but one meet was entered, the season was by no means a failure. Commencing with almost entirely new material, a team was developed that, at the end of the season, could have acquitted itself very well indeed, had conditions been such as to have enabled them to show their ability. The Ashland meet came after but a short period of unsatisfactory practice, the cold spring and exceedingly damp athletic field making anything like consistent training impossible until later in the season. However, a team of four was taken to Ashland and did quite as well as was expected. Reed took second in the quarter, Fieldseth third in the pole vault, and Fish and Brenzel fourth in the hundred and mile, respectively, out of a fairly large field entered. While the laurels captured were slight, the experience gained was exceedingly valuable. Immediately after the Ashland meet, training was taken up with renewed vigor in preparation for the invitation meet of the Marquette Normal School. Collick and L. Brenzel soon commenced to show promise of speed in the half mile, while Fox and Nyman developed very good form and fair speed over the hurdles. Those who entered at Ashland used their new experience to advantage and improved rapidly. Just when everyone was working his best, and the time for departure for the Normal meet was at hand, word came from Marquette to the effct that an epidemic of typhoid had broken out at that place, due to impurities in their drinking water. This so materially changed the complexion of affairs that the trip was abandoned. The prospect for the season of 1913 looks very good. All the old men are back in school, save Fish and Fieldseth, who graduated, and the new material that is available promises much. With a fair amount of luck and good weather conditions, Ironwood ought certainly to make a name for herself on the track the coming season. 75 WEARERS OF THE “I” 1903.

Although the class parties are by no means the most prominent feature of High School activities, they are voted by all to be a most pleasant part of school life. The Seniors gave the first party of the term on the eighth of November, 1912. The Sophomores distinguished themselves by beating the Juniors, and having their party next. I he Juniors, however, were duly recompensed for the delay by the delightful evening they spent November 22nd at the High School, and on December 6th, the Freshmen had their good time. All class parties are similar, only simple decorations being used, and simple refreshments served. Sometimes a party—as in the case of the Sophomores—is enlivened by a bit of amateur detective work, practiced from the fire escape by envious students of other classes, but the refreshment committee is usually on hand to give the sleuths a warm reception, and to give their noble lives in defense of the iunch if necessary. The parties are all chaperoned by various High School teachers, and Mr. Nicholls fills the part of man-of-all-work, and sees to the closing of the party and building at twelve o’clock. THE ATHLETIC RECEPTION. On Friday evening, December thirteenth, a large number of the students, together with the faculty and a number of the alumni, gathered in the Elks’ hall for the annual Athletic Association reception given in honor of the foot-ball squad. Nothing was missing which could add to the enjoyment of the evening. The tasteful decorations, the dainty refreshments, the music by the Temple Theatre Orchestra, and last but not least, the smiles that every one wore, all helped to make the reception a huge success. After iunch the students gathered and sang their school songs and gave the school yells. The walls fairly shook when, as a grand climax, they ended up, louder than ever, with nine enthusiastic ’Rahs for Coach Kellj'. THE JUNIOR CLASS PICNIC. The most numerously attended gathering of the class of nineteen thirteen, was a picnic held at Spring Creek, north of Ironwood, in the spring of the Junior year. With final examinations a thing of the past, and nothing to worry any member of the party or prevent his having a good time, the class started in a hay-rack, from the High School grounds. Miss Jean Goudie and Mr. Bucklin acted as chaperones and things were lively as the hay-rack and its load went rolling down through town, and out to the creek. The lunch was eaten in a shady spot, and the afternoon was spent playing numerous games, poling rafts about on the creek, and in having a number of water fights, in which some of the boys made daring attempts to drown themselves, by jumping onto logs in the creek from the bridge, to avoid a continuous shower of water. At five o’clock the hay-rack hauled the tired but happy crowd back to town, after a very successful day. STAG DANCE. On the evening of March 28th occurred one of the most delightful social events of the school year, which according to those who have attended similar functions in preceding years, easily maintained the excellent reputation of the Stags as social entertainers. The dance this year was pronounced a decided success from every standpoint. At the appointed hour the Stags and their guests, including students, alumni, and faculty, arrived at the Elk’s Club rooms and proceeded at once to enjoy the magic strains of the Temple Theater orchestra. The beautiful decorations, artistically planned in the colors of the organization, lent much to the enjoyment of the occasion. The spirit prevailing throughout the entire evening was most commendable. Perhaps no function of the year reflected to a greater extent the spirit of the I. H. S. as regards democracy and cordiality. Indeed it was an occasion which those present will long remember. lGttt rary HISTORY OF THE IRONWOOD HIGH SCHOOL YELL. About 1895, when George F. Downer, now superintendent of schools in Butte, Montana, was principal of the Ironwood high school, our first football team was organized and we had our first athletic contest. Our earlier and more important games were with Ishpeming, Calumet, and Ashland. Supt. L. L. Wright, and Mr. Downer, thought it desirable to adopt a school yell. They agreed on certain essentials, that the yell must be short, snappy and characteristic of the country. Many suggestions were made but they finally adopted the one which has been used ever since, and is the original and only characteristic Ironwood Yell. It is to be delivered with great force, with lots of snap and spirit. It was and is, Rah, rah, rah! Good, good, good! Hematite, Hematite! Ironwood! As we commenced to play with other teams, notably Duluth, who had a long string of yells, our boys picked up other yells which they added to the original one. So now when the boys’ and girls’ enthusiasm effervesces it is. Rah! Rah! Rah! Good! Good! Good! Hematite! Hematite! Ironwood And a vivo and a bivo and a vevo vivo vum Bum get a cat trap, bigger than a rat trap. Bum get a cat trap, bigger than a rat trap, Siss Boom Bah, Siss Boom Bah, Ironwood High School, Rah! Rah! Rah! I-r-o-n-w-o-o-d football boys; I. H. S. Well I guess, Rah-Rah-Rah, Are we in it? Well, I guess We belong to the I. H. S. Hul-a baluo-ra-rah Hul-a baluo-ra-rah Hooray, Hoorah Ironwood High School Rah! Rah! Rah! Strawberry short cake, Huckleberry pie, •'V-i-c-t-o-r-y Are we in it? Well I guess We belong to the I. H. S. 79 FOOTBALL SONGS. Tune: “Has Anybody Here Seen Kelley. 1. Does anybody here know Kelley coach of the I. H. S. Anybody here know Kelley? Do we? Well I guess. He’s the man who made our team.

S. The best team on the range. Tune: There'll be a Hoi Time in the Old Town Tonight.” We’ll cheer for good old Ironwood. Old Ironwood and the red, We’ll cheer for good old Ironwood In our coffins when we’re dead. And when we get to Heaven We’ll give the Ironwood yell. And if we’re not so fortunate We’ll whoop ’er up in U-Rah-Rah For Ironwood’s got the ball. U-Rah-Rah for when we take a fall. And when we hit their line. They’ll have no line at all. There’ll be a hot time, In the old town to-night. OUR ELECTION. I his year we had a real, genuine, dyed-in-the-wool election. Three parties, all determined to win, were in the field; and they all finished so close together, that a few votes judiciously used, would have elected the candidates of any of the three parties. As it was, the Sophomores carried off the victory, for they were successful in electing all of their candidates. The reason for this unheard of situation, is that the Sophomores are a large and united class, while the Junior and Senior classes, though united, are by no means large. Of course the older parties tried to disqualify the new one, but they were not successful. I he older parties, seeing that the Sophomores had a big advantage over them, wanted to unite, and run a combination ticket. This might have been done before the primaries, but it would not have been successful afterwards, because of the confusion likely to arise from the fact that two tickets had been announced. 80 Though Juniors and Seniors were defeated in this election, we had some experience which may help us along later on in life; and taking it all-in-all, we had a very good time. Anyone who heard us will undoubtedly acknowledge that it was a “howling” success. CLASS HISTORY. On the September morning that we entered the precincts of the Ironwood high school for the first time, with eyes, ears and mouths wide open, we surely brought back recollections of St. Patrick’s day to the upper classes. Of course the sophomores took us in hand at once, for these conscientious philanthropists realized that it was their sacred duty to show us our position in society. For a short time we were properly awed by this display of unselfishness, but we soon saw these would-be dictators in their proper light, and became aware that their motives were not so pure and unmixed as had appeared on the surface. In due time we became full-fledged sophomores, and naturally enough our views on the freshmen question encountered some severe reverses. We realized that freshmen could not be trusted to take care of themselves although their youthful delusions did not enable them to see it in that light. We are doubtful as to whether we succeeded or not in convincing them of this fact, but at all events, we made heroic attempts. Although our lessons interfered to some extent, we succeeded in getting more pleasure than was absolutely needful. As juniors we undoubtedly accomplished more in the line of work than in either of the previous years, for we had no freshmen to command nor sophomores to obey. So we sat back and looked with scorn on their petty squabbles, and wondered at these childish proceedings. From this self-satisfied condition, we gradually assumed the aspect of the high and mighty seniors. At the same time that we fully became aware of our importance, inklings of our actual condition began to reach us. At the annual election of Lyceum officers, the third party sophomore ticket succeeded in carrying off the prizes by a few votes, while we were concentrating our energies against the juniors. We consoled ourselves by remembering that most of the world’s greatest characters have never been appreciated by their own generation. Aside from that we suceeded very well in maintaining our class dignity. Thus we have experienced four years of high school life. We have felt the humility of freshmen, the bravado of sophomores, the superciliousness of juniors and the dignity of seniors. Looking back, we regret that we must leave, for here we have been surrounded by an environment that will ever hold the high school dear to our hearts. With “malice toward none and with charity for all” the teachers and students, we leave the high school and trust its future welfare to the graduates that are to come after us. si ORATORY AND DECLAMATION. The final contest in declamation and oratory this year was most excellent. The contestants easily maintained the standard set in previous years. This was due in a large measure to the fact that the students have at least learned that we cannot expect to win along any line unless our contestants have earned the right to represent the school. A talented athlete is of little value unless developed by training and seasoned by experience. But no one cares to exert himself if he can avoid it. There must be an incentive. For many years, it was the practice for some gifted speaker (although the gift was sometimes imaginary) to enter the lists and the others would become discouraged so that no amount of coaxing would induce them to contest for the place. But after the unexpected had happened a few times, the students were convinced that the honors of the high school were not given because the person was a natural speaker, but as rewards of ability that had been developed by a course of vigorous training. This conviction grows stronger each year, so that “the final” is now the school’s big event. It is our deliberate judgment that the home contest was one of more uniform excellence than the final contest of the Superior district held at Washburn. The final was held in the Luther L. Wright auditorium the evening of April 7th, and was attended by a large audience consisting of prominent townspeople and the students. The declamations and orations were interspersed with songs by the Boys' and the Girls’ Glee Clubs, and the Mixed chorus. Mr. Oscar E. Olson, president of the High School Alumni Association, presided. He opened the program with a brief but very effective address. The judges were, Mr. Robert A. Douglas, Miss Myra Wiley and Mr. Pearson Wells. They decided that Edna M. Backon, who gave “John Storm’s Resolution,” was entitled to first, and that Jean Healy who gave “Madame Butterfly” to second. In the oratorical contest, Leonard Thalner with “National Apostasy” and Edward Anderson with “Impeachment of Warren Hastings” were awarded first and second places respectively. The contest throughout was one of such exceptional merit and the rivalry so keen for the honor of representing the school that no one could predict with any confidence what the judges would agree. The declamatory contest for the Eastern Division was held at Hurley; the one in oratory at Prentice. Each of the Ironwood representations was given second place. That entitled them to go to the final contest of the Superior league. In declamation, Ironwood was given second, and tied with the Central High School of Superior for second place in oratory. Next year we hope to go up one notch in each contest, which of course will mean two firsts. 82 DEBATES. December 20, 1912—Resolved: That the United States should build four new battleships.

ESTATE OF FRITZ KARSTE, Deceased. (Bank of Ironwood.) William S. Baird, Administrator. Irorwood, Mich., Jan. 17, 1913. President Hermean Literary Society, Ironwood, High School. Inquiries regarding the Constitution of the Hermean Literary Society, have resulted in the advisement that such has been lost. Having been requested to frame up as approximate a Constitution as that which was the original copy, I submit the copy which I have recently made, and which is almost a correct duplicate to the best of my knowledge and remembrance. If you will call at the Bank of Ironwood, with the Secretary, about four o’clock on Monday afternoon, Jan. 20th, I will be glad to present it to you in behalf of the Hermean Literary Society. Very truly yours, (Signed) SAM W. PATEK. FOLLOWING IS COPY OF LETTER WHICH WAS DRAWN UP IN ANSWER TO PATEK’S SELF-EXPLANATORY LETTER. Hon. Solomon Wolfe Patek, Ass’t Administrator to the Estate of Fritz Karste, Deceased. Esteemed Sir:— We are in receipt of your compendious communication and are highly complimented to apprehend that you will condescend to favor us by devoting some fragments of your invaluable time to frame up an approximate Constitution, since your prodigious memory enables you to consolidate the facts into a concise and undeviating treatise. We have no doubt that your duplicate will approach and even supersede in excellence that expatriated Constitution. In answer to your request, we wish to state that our President accompanied by the Secretary, both attired in dress suits, silk hats and carrying Parisian canes of the latest model, will arrive at your office in a new exquisitely finished Pierce-Arrow and accompanied by the Norrie Band and the Alumni Association, at the appointed hour on the second day of the third week of the first month of the year of our Lord 1913. Hoping that you in your infinite benevolence will entrust your masterpiece to the care of this humble body of delegates of the Hermean Literary Society, we again thank you for the unbounded magnanimity you have employed with such discretion in this matter. By sending a complete account of the days of the month and months of the year which have been devoted to this incalculably valuable treatise, and accompanying it with an affidavit to that effect, to our Treasurer, you will be fully reimbursed for the prodigious amount of labor expended in preparing it. Gratefully yours, THE HERMEAN LITERARY SOCIETY. 81 O n fh lde'' 85 A STUDY IN SWITCHES. No siree! exclaimed Gordon Reed, there wasn t any of that nonsense in my family. My father ne er thrashed me in all his life. Too bad, too bad, sighed Miss Barnes, Another wreck due to a misplaced switch.” As the early morning train drew up at a lively looking station, a pleasant looking old gentleman stepped out on the platform, and, inhaling the fresh air, enthusiastically observed to the brakeman: “Isn’t this invigorating?” “No, sir!” replied the patriot, “It’s Ironwood.” Jan. 10.

KELLY CLARA HAESSLER MILDRED BARNES THEODORE S. HOOK MISS MARIAN WATSON HAZEL HILDEBRAND ST March 28, 1925. Dear Gertrude:— I arrived in New York last week and you don’t know how good it is to be at home again. Who do you suppose came as far as Buffalo with me? Lloyd Larson. He owns a big fruit farm in Lower Michigan, and was on his way there. His property is just a few miles out of Ann Arbor and he says that he sees Arthur Peterson often: you know he is president of the University there. Minnie Gustafson is also there teaching Latin, altho if the hints which President Peterson dropped materialize, she will not be allowed to remain there much longer. He thinks that one of the professors of science is very much interested in railway folders and bungalo plans just at present, altho nothing definite has been announced yet. Leonard Larson is head of the Chemistry department and President Peterson says that he is still an ardent woman-hater. We certainly had a good old talk about the days of our long lost youth. I have just been thinking about old times, and, do you know, I can’t help feeling proud of our class of 1913, for it’s really remarkable the way they have climbed to the top. There is some one of the members making his mark in almost every profession. I didn’t see Leonard Thalner when I was in Berlin, as he was at London holding an important consultation, but I went thru his hospital. As 1 was going thru one of the wards, my attention was attracted by a strangely familiar streak of gold which I saw thru an open door. Upon investigation, I found that it was Carleton Fox, who had just been brought in with a broken arm and two fractured ribs. He had had a fall from his biplane, so the nurse said, and was still under the influence of the ether which was given him when the bones had been set that morning. I was leaving the city at noon, so I did not see him again, but left a short note telling of my call. I had known that he was in Germany with his biplane, but had no idea I should meet him, altho it was not such a surprise to find him in a hospital as it might have been had 1 not known him so well. From Berlin we went on to Paris where we attended Grand Opera, Dorothy Snavely and John Blomstrom taking the leading roles in “Lohengrin. We also saw Charles Shaw, altho we didn’t have time to go to the theatre where he was playing. He is quite the rage at present I hear, and when we saw him, he was in quite a characteristic position. It was at the railway station and he was very busily engaged in saying goodbye to a dozen or more very pretty girls. I have never seen him act, but I hear that he is the “Matinee Idol” type. I was not at all surprised to hear the report, as there was something about the wave of his hair and the twinkle of his bonny brown eye years ago which foretold a future of decided popularity. On the steamer coming home we were afforded a good deal of entertainment by the fact that our old friend Hugo was on board with his little bride. He was just returning from his honeymoon, the result of ten years earnest self discipline. He is certainly very devoted and I had to laugh to think that it should have come to this, after all the warnings he used to receive in the old Hematites against feminine wiles. We met some more of our school mates on the boat whom I forgot to mention. Every evening on our voyage home we had a little impromptu concert, and our old friends Pearl Silberg and George Brenzel entertained us with some perfectly fine music. You know they have been touring in Europe as a concert company, George playing the violin and Pearl the piano. Speaking of musical companies reminds me that in London we heard a perfectly wonderful quartet. It was composed of Mae Wright, Mauritz Hedin, Edward Anderson and Albertina Anderson. I he best part of it was that they were all in our old class. I meant to ask them how they happened to join in the quartet but didn’t have an opportunity. I talked to Edward for a few minutes about old times and he said that Paul Ward was the football coach at Yale, and John Somppi is a professor there. He said that Clarence Tonkin and Herman Hagren are stenographers in the White House, and are still as loyal to each other as they were in High School. Ida Sepplan, as a result of the adoption of Woman’s Suffrage, is a speaker in the State Legislature. Do you remember the debate that she helped win in High School on Woman’s Suffrage? She seemed to be an ardent supporter of the movement even at that time. We had such a glorious time in New York. On Broadway we met Herbert Johnson in his beautiful Pierce Arrow car. He is a millionaire now, having discovered a new compound as a substitute for gasoline in automobiles. I never imagined that I would see or hear of so many of our classmates, but every one of them that I ve heard of has been successful. I understand that a number of them are still in Ironwood, some of them teaching, and others have settled down permanently. Of course there are a number that I haven’t heard anything about, but I thought you’d be interested to hear about these. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I saw Fred Gretzinger and Esther Carlson sitting on their back porch in Brooklyn, Fred smoking lazily and Esther peeling potatoes. They seemed as happy as ever . Well, I hope you will write me as I am very much interested. I hope too, that you can come and visit me sometime soon, and then we can talk over old times to a better advantage. Lovingly, G. M. B. FAVORITE SAYINGS. Mr. Watson, “Now you think I’m drifting, but—” Mr. Kelly, “I’ve told you this time and time again.” Miss Jean Goudie, It ought not to be necessary to tell this to Seniors.” Mr. Upthegrove, “No-o-o, just the other way around.” M iss Barnes, “That isn’t good English.” M iss Janet Goudie, I hat s fine, now corrections ’ M iss Haessler, Du bist dumm.” M iss Hildebrand, “Lesson assigned, class excused.” Mr. Hook, “Well now, let’s see.” Mr. Woodward, This class will please come to order.” Mr. Brennan, “Basses take your part on page six.” When Arthur Lorenson was asked why he didn’t take Chemistry he replied, “I had my teeth filled once and I have been suspicious of science ever since.” SOME SENIOR VIEWS ON LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Life imprisonment should be substituted for capital punishment because, if a man be put in prison for life, he can’t commit any more crimes. Life imprisonment should not be substituted for capital punishment because capital punishment gives a man a chance to think over his crime and reform. Life imprisonment should not be substituted for capital punishment because if he is given over to the capital he is likely to be tortured or put to death by the rude mob. DISEASES OF SOME PEOPLE WE KNOW. 1. Mr. Watson—Musicitis. 2. Paul Lieberthal—Laboratoria. 3. Alice McDuffy—Cloakroomitis. 4. Hugo Hendrickson—Consumption (of jam, raisins, etc.) 5. Dave Ryan—Footballosis. 6. Ed. Carlson—Mildreditis. 7. Gordon Reed—Necktiematics. 8. Several others are afflicted with the “Students’ Complaint” which is dropsy and heart failure combined—they drop into a chair and the heart fails them when they are about to rise. 90 Miss Haessler (to German Class) Boys, take your feet off the chairs so that the girls can sit on them.” Miss Goudie: “Hult, translate ‘Haec in Gallia est importantus.’ ” Hult Wilson: “Hike into Gaul, it’s important.” Mr. Watson, (helping Leonard Thalner with his oration) “What’s the matter with you, Leonard? Can’t you speak any louder? Be more enthusiastic! Open your mouth and throw yourself into it?” Carleton emerged from beneath his automobile and struggled for breath. His helpful friend, John Blomstrom, holding an oil-can, beamed on him. “I’ve just given the cylinder a thorough oiling, Carleton.” “Cylinder!” howled Pinky, “That wasn’t the cylinder; it wras my ear.” Doctor Fox, “Carleton why did you get such a poor report card again?” Carlton, “Well it was this way. You know I sit near the back, and Mr. Watson gave all the good cards to those in the front, and when he came to me he only had a poor card left.” M iss Hildebrand in Algebra Class: Why, Gordon, these problems are all wrong. What’s the trouble?” Gordon: “I don’t know, I worked awful hard before I could even get them wrong. Miss Goudie (in English Class) : “Arthur Anderson, you don’t know anything.” Arthur: “My brother and I know everything.” Miss Goudie: “All right then. When did Shapespeare live?” Arthur: “Oh, that’s the one my brother knows.” FAVORITE SONGS.

I’ll be very willing to get one for next program.” President Reed: “Mr. Watson, we’ll be very glad to excuse you. Mr. Watson says we should interpret the Constitution for ourselves. Here are some of the interpretations given in class. No warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by earth (oath) and affirmation. No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a resentment or predicament (presentment or indictment) of a grand jury. In all criminal persecutions (prosecutions) the accursed (accused) shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. Tfhe Senate has the sole power to sit as a Court to try impeachments of U. S. officers, and two thirds of its members shall be convicted (shall be necessary to convict).
