EDMUND T. DUFF1ELD. A.B., A.M. Mr. E. T. Duffield, Superintendent of the Ironwood Public Schools, was born in Darlington, England. In 1889 he came to America, began his education in the American schools and in 19C0 was graduated from the Port I lenry, New ork, High School. Four years later he received his degree from Middlebury College. following which he accepted and acted for two years as Superintendent of the Meredith, New Hampshire, Public Schools. He then returned to his education and took post-graduate work at Columbia University and the Teachers’ College in New York, receiving his Master's Degree. After a year as principal of the Ely, Minnesota, High School, and another year in the same capacity at Aberdeen, South Dakota, he was elected Superintendent of the Chehalis, Washington, Public Schools, which position he held for four years, leaving there to take the Superintendency of the Ironwood Schools in 1914, since which time he has had charge of the school system of this city.

Onward gleaming! You may wander o'er the country where The vales and mountains be, You may dwell in lands far distant, out Beyond the surging sea. But ah! just a modest little Hematite, though Across the world you roam. Will take you hack to Ironwood, and Your old Northwestern home. —Selected. Just a modest effort; our Hematite has been put out to serve as a link between our town and our school. But more than that, it is put out to serve as a reminder to all the members of our Class, to bind us together. Our years in school are surely our happy ones; we are all bound by an indissoluble tie of friendship. But our Commencement is the dawn of our new life. One of us is at one end of the earth, another at the other. We go out into the new world, meeting new people, overcoming hardships, climbing ever upward to success. And. often, with our new friends, new duties, we forget the old home ties, the friends of our childhood. Every great deed has its small beginning. And so we hope from this small plant our followers will take a slip, tending it lovingly until it has grown large and strong, and will send arms to every alumnus of the I. H. S. We have not been without help in putting forth this annual. Our inspiration was due in great measure to the former annuals, published by the enterprising classes of 1911, T2 and '13; and very greatly due to Mr. Watson's energy and encouragement and Mr. May's continual pushing and co-operation. Our book, faulty though it may be, bears a message. First of all it is a plea to the alumni to remember their Alma Mater, and to the future graduates, to live up to the standard. Second, we have tried to give it the democratic spirit that is characteristic of the Ironwood High School. In every deed is democracy emphasized. Every pupil has received and will continue to receive, equal advantages with every other. Whenever you look upon this Hematite, remember it stands for life, love, and for democracy. And, if in some hour, friends have failed you, take a look at the old Hematite of 1917, and remember that your old home town will greet you with open arms and welcoming smile. And to you who have kept your heart clean, and who have been ever kindly toward your fellow-citizens, remembering the traditional democracy of the I. II. S.. a doubly bright welcome home is extended.

Page Fifteen 1916 THE HEM A TITE PROF.” NICHOLS AND HIS STAFF Anyone who lias attended the Ironwood I ligh School, knows “Prof.” Nichols, and his smile. Rain or shine, his smile never goes away. It is the typical smile of the Ironwood School; the smile Mr. Watson instituted and that every Iron-woodite has come to love. Prof, “blew into Ironwood one day in July, twenty-four years ago, and since then he has been an invaluable part of the High School. Prof, laughs with all the gav, and sympathizes with the sorrowing students. I le attends all football games •—and if you don’t want to come to see the game—which is usually exciting—you decide to come anyhow to say “Hello to Prof. He is a thorough cleaner, and as tidy and neat as neat can be. Prof, has a good, efficient assistant in the tidy and genial Mr. Paillies. We hope that both “Prof.” and Mr. Baillies will remain with us many a year anti continue to gladden the hearts of the students. MR. KEESE Older people realize what a great institution school is, but little children do not and sometimes they play hookey. Under the supervision of Mr. H. Keese, the number of hookeys has decreased to a minimum. Mr. Keese is a genial old man, with a pleasant manner. All the little children know him well and they know, too, that it's for their good he watches them. Mr. Keese occasionally visits the High School, and we are very glad to see him. We hope Mr. Keese will remain with us for many years. Page Sixteen THE HEMATITE 1917 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Maurice Brody............

But there are exceptions to all rules and here is a case that was, and is, the exception. In 1913, about ninety trembling youngsters entered the portals of the High School. Our arrival was hailed with delight for we were the celebrated Freshmen, and the most dignified Sophomores knew that in the dry, weary, winter months to come, they could regale themselves with the greenness and freshness of we Freshies. But they were doomed to disappointment, for we did not prove to be green. We managed to thrive successfully, and were especially happy with our first parties, picnics and so forth, where a universal spirit of democracy was evinced. In our Sophomore year, we woke up to the possibilities about us. Miss Schoepp, who was our “Deutche Lehrer, was a great lover of Nature. She founded an outdoor club for the girls. Our sports included skating, sleighing and skiing, as well as long country walks. Often, as we walked over the rich fields surrounded by the beautiful trees, and scenery, the spectres of half-learned lessons stalked at our sides. But we were all the better for those rambles, and learned to enjoy the great out-doors. In return for Miss Schoepp's kindness and aid we gave a party at the Froebel Kindergarten. Another event we may well remember, was our picnic, when at first the rain fell—but finding such a happy crowd, ceased. These were purely social events. Two of our girls and two of our boys succeeded in being chosen for the Final Contests this year—thus proving the superiority of our class. In due time we became Juniors. As Juniors, we entered upon the Lyceum work with activity. We did not win in the election, but we did give the Seniors a hard run for their victory. We were well compensated for our loss by wnning every debate that year, beginning with the first and best. This year, too, we had our Prom, which was a great success. The customary annual event of the year, the Junior play, was also a success. This was written by Fannie Tobin and called “The Wager.” By this time, it can be imagined, we had worn off all the green and were quite condescending toward the Seniors. But we helped them graduate, consoling them, when they expressed their regret at leaving the school, that there was a mighty fine class remaining, who would make excellent Seniors the next year! And, I think I am safe in saying it. we did make a good class. The Senior President. President of the Lyceum, conducted the meetings well, and the cabinet, all on the Senior ticket, made out excellent programs. Throughout our four years in school, democracy was our aim, and good neighborliness and with very few exceptions, we succeeded. We were sorry to leave I. H. S. but we left it with the lesson of democracy and uprightness instilled in our minds, and we will keep that as one of our chief aims throughout our future life. Page Thirty-five 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 Class Will Being the Will of the Late Senior Class We, the members of the Senior Class, do bequeath to the remaining classes of the Luther L. Wright school, our mortal possessions and memories; said property to be held by the assignees during good behavior and a proper observance of the following rules: 1. Whenever you use anything which we. the honorable Seniors, have willed you, you are to bow at said article and say: “I respect you. which the class of 1917, gave to me.” 2. You must publicly avow that never was there such a class as that of 1917. It was honored, loved, and adored by all. 3. You must in all respects copy the Seniors, imitate their customs, and follow in their footsteps. Whereas, in accordance with these rules, we do hereby bequeath and bestow to the following mentioned, thusly: To the Honored Juniors: To you we bequeath the Senior dignity to be held during your Seniorship. Also do we bestow upon you the southwest corner of the Auditorium, the long coveted back seats; and in return for your many kindnesses, we do present to you, our tattered copies of “Thanatopsis to be memorized by each and all of you. We, Senior boys, do give you Junior boys, Jussen's store. We charge you never to lose the I. H. S. smile, originated by Mr. Watson. Whereas, we sincerely hope that you will be profoundly grateful. To the Silent Sophomores : As being the willing salesmen of the Hematite, we, the Hematite Board, do leave to you our inky offices and duties, and may you have as much rest and peace as we. the editors, had. We recognize in you the future Juniors, and sometime, who knows, the worthy Seniors. We hand over to you our authority of the Lyceum, trusting to your resourcefulness to find a noble successor to the Honored President of '17. As Juniors, you will want a Prom, and forsooth decorations for same aforesaid. Thusly, do we give to you, our decorations white and blue, our football caps of blue and white, if you work for Honor with all your might—will some day fit you all—just right. And Oh, Ye Freshmen, Future Sophomores: To you do we bequeath seats farther back, that you may rest your throats. We give you, girls, the Soph’s cloakroom—wherein to hang your coats. As Sophomores, you will flirt, I ween—so did the class of seventeen. Page Thirty-six 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 To Miss Jean Goudie, we bequeath the Junior class, trusting that in them she will find gems of the purest rays serene —Seniors shorn of all the green. To Mr. Watson, we leave our memories, hoping that when he feels a void and aching pang in the regions of his heart, he will know that it's the Seniors he doth miss. To Mr. May, we leave our Palmer Manuals, besmeared and inky, and as he turns the pages o er, the tears will course his furrowed cheeks as he recalls the bitter hours he watched the Seniors labor on. I o Miss Johnson, we leave as many Johnsonians as are not Seniors, and may she have another Johnson program as in our days. To Messrs. Coffing, McCalmont, and Jeffrey, we leave our dulled razor blades, which we used as pencil sharpeners. The above gentlemen will realize the usefulness of our gift, and we earnestly hope they will take advantage of it. iothe entire High School, we leave the Co-Jemama Quartette. In the event of the entire quartet not returning, we leave our school books and pencils to be sold, the proceeds of which are to be used for making a phonograph record of their voices. Jo Peaches, we bequeath all the cake and sandwiches he may find in the Chemistry Lab. If there be none, he may take, if he wishes, a dose of H,S04 or HNOs mixed with HCL. It's very spicy—and odorous. To any not mentioned, we do bequeath the remaining articles of value. Any money remaining in our treasury, we do authorize to be disbursed among the various classes. Page Thirty-seven 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 Class Propkecp—1917 “Little we knew what genius untold Lay hid where endless lessons rolled. Who would have dared, with brush or pen As toe are now, to paint us then.”—Selected. It was raining dismally, and as I wandered aimlessly around in the big workroom of the “Morning Star, I accidentally brushed a pile of old letters off my desk. Stooping to replace them, I caught one with a familiar postmark on it, “Ironwood. It was an old letter, received shortly after my graduation in 1917, but it set me to thinking of my classmates, and as I thought, my heart beat with pride. I recalled a certain morning in January, when Mr. Hartwell, Superintendent of the St. Paul Schools, spoke to us. He said, Right here among you are the successful lawyer, doctor and statesman, the enterprising merchant, the skillful mechanic.” And now his words had come true. I have just inserted a notice in my newspaper that Messrs. Milton Anderson and Edward Mutch have completed a grand tour of the world and are to appear for one night only at the Lyceum. Do you remember how Milton and Edward regaled us with their music on program days? Maurice Brody, our former President of the class, had just won an exceedingly difficult case. He was already known throughout the Northwest as a very promising young lawyer. Joe Tolan, M.D.. was still wearing his optimistic H. S. smile, and had accomplished wonders in Red Cross work. Flossie Brenzel, that sweet girl, was his assistant, whose gentle smile had eased many a suffering headache. Do you remember Hildegarde Guider? She is a soloist in one of New York's greatest churches. Ravena Trezise is her able accompanist. Yes, they were all successful in the particular line of work each had chosen. I, for one, was rather proud of my class. Just as I reached this point of retrospection. my mail was brought to me. And there was a note from one of my editors, asking me to interview Mr. Aloysius Arassim. He had invented a perpetual motion machine and discovered a new law in sound. Aloysius used to be the “star Physics pupil, and Fred Tezak, who was now one of the world's greatest machinists, and whose avocation is football, was a very close second to him. I am sure you have heard of the great Art exhibition at Philadelphia. The masterpieces of the greatest painters of the world were shown there, and among them was an immense picture called “The Soul of Nature,” which received first place. Do you ask who painted it? You have already guessed that Ellen Sorsen. and no other, was capable of such work. Speaking of painting makes me think of Jimmie Gribble, who is that very famous caricaturist of the World’s Leading Newspaper. And this thought of a newspaper tempts me to mention, though it is not news to you, the success of our old classmates, Frances Lindberg and Lydia Larson, in climbing to the positions of private secretaries to our popular President, Richard Heideman, and strange enough, another old classmate. Florence Kron-lund, who was always with Frances, is chief manager of the libraries of the State of Michigan. I could go on to tell you of the other successful members of our class but it would take too long. Some have tried married life and seem to enjoy it immensely. I was not at all surprised to read in last week’s Ironwood Times, a clipping from a Chicago daily, to the effect that Dorothy Urquhart had received a medal from the Musical Society of the United States, for her musical ability, shone out long ago. Ironwood, I am told, is a great metropolis. Next year at our re-union, I will surely come and once more tread the familiar streets of my childhood. Page Thirty-eight 1916 THE HEMATI TE 1917 Valedictory and Salutatory? Miss Frances Lindberg, Valedictorian of the Class of 1917, has been an exceptionally industrious and conscientious student throughout her course. She considered that a High School education was an opportunity and determined that she would never have the regret that she had not made the most of it. Her splendid average of 95.5 for the four years is evidence that she did not waver from that determination. We “take off our hats to Frances. Miss Ellen Sorsen, Salutatorian of the Class of 1917, by virtue of having attained the second highest average throughout her four year course, has certainly won the reward which is hers and the Hematite Board in this way acknowledges it. Ellen has toiled hard and continuously, has surmounted untold difficulties and emerges victor with the average for four years of 93.7 per cent.

In 1916, Green Stockings was successfully presented. This year, under the supervision of Mr. Watson and Miss Jean Goudie, the Senior class presented “Christopher Junior.” It was a great success from start to finish, and kept the audience in constant laughter. Exceptionally fine was the acting by every member of the cast. Each individual worked with the other, doing fine team work. Great credit is due Miss Jean and Mr. Watson, who worked along with the cast to make it a success. The people of Ironwood are to be thanked for their hearty support. The cast was as follows: Christopher Jedbury, Jr. Christopher Jedbury, Sr Tom Bellaby........... Major Hedway.......... Mr. Simpson........... Mr. Glibb............. Job...................

Each year it gathers new force, and now, in its twenty-third year, it is at its zenith. The object of this society is a most laudable one, namely, to fit the High School students for public speaking or for any appearance in public. The chief instructive feature of the program is the debate, which occurs regularly. Perhaps the most entertaining feature is the “Hematite,” the school paper. Besides these, there are various others, such as declamations, orations and various musical numbers. The election of officers for this society is indeed interesting. It is carried out as much as possible in accordance with the rules of the regular elections. November, 1916, saw a very interesting one. There was a very close race between the Juniors and Seniors, and, until the last vote had been counted, no one knew which way the victory had turned. But, as in previous years, victory swayed to the Senior side. Officers for 1916-1917 are as follows: Maurice Brody........................................President Albert Tederstrom...............................Vice-President Elsie Medlyn.........................................Secretary Gladys Brenzel................................Sergeant-at-Arms The Lyceum is fortunate, indeed, in securing a democratic, big-spirited cabinet. In some respects they have been very original, and the programs have been most instructive and entertaining. The “Johnsonian” program was held February 9, 1917, on which only Johnsons appeared under the charge of Miss Johnson, Botany teacher. The cabinet members are: Dorothy Urquhart. Edvthe Peterson, Rutger Eric-son, Ernest Dear and Fred Tezak. Athletic Association This organization comprises the entire student body of the High School, together with the members of the Faculty. The main endeavor of the Association is to keep up the “spirit” of the school, for athletics especially, at the boiling point. During the football and basketball seasons a “Mass Meeting” is held the day previous to the games, at which meetings the students test their lung capacities in giving the various yells. Faculty members and students give short speeches, rousing songs are sung and as much artificial pep” as is possible is given to the players of the school who are to represent their supporters at the games. BASEBALL Baseball, in the Iron wood High School is not an interscholastic sport, but games between the class teams are always arranged and for several weeks, during the “season,” the fans have a great many opportunities to see the students playing the national game as only red-blooded Americans can. The Captains and Managers of the various teams for this year are as follows: SENIORS Alpheus Thomas.........Captain Stephen Orbick.........Manager JUNIORS Gustave Somppi.........Captain Peter DeRubis..........Manager SOPHOMORES John Champion..........Captain Ernest Dear............Manager FRESHMEN Oscar Gustafson........Captain John Cvengres..........Manager Page Forty-eight 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 Page Forty-nine THE WATSON MUSICAL CLUB First Soprano Flossie Brenzel Victoria Chisholm Florence Kronlund Evangeline Swanson Agnes Peterson, Vice-President Edith Cdle Ruth Collick Frances McClary Fannie Tobin Hildegarde Johnson, Librarian Second Soprano Anes Jackson Frances Madegeski Edvthe Peterson Hildegarde Gender Dorothy Miller Isabel Pickard Gladys Kane Gertrude McCabe Jeannette Shand Ingrid Lindbohm Klara Olson Juliet Snavely Genevieve Jones, Librarian Dorothy Urquhart.

As this Club was such a success he has continued organizing a club each year. The first club had but a few members, but the 1917 club has a membership of forty-one. The girls meet for training under Mr. Watson's direction on Mondays. Those girls who are admitted to membership in the club, become members after a try-out” and vote by the remaining members of the club of the year previous. Every one who has ever sung in the club has derived great benefit from the training received. The excellence and popularity of the Musical C lub is shown by its frequent appearances on school programs and at public entertainments, at which times the crowds burst forth in their appreciation with great applause. The Boys’ Glee Club—1917—is one of the best in the history of the school. It not only possesses good tone quality but it is well liked for its admirable spirit. The club has appeared on various programs throughout the year and on every occasion has been thunderously applauded. The competition for membership is very strong among the boys and those who are elected to membership are the finest examples of the High School boys. The boys practice weekly on Tuesday, and under Mr. Watson’s leadership have developed into one of the best High School clubs in the country. Page Fifty-HiO 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 Senior Boys’ Quartet I lie school has been fortunate this year in having among its musical organization.-- a Boys Male Quartet. 1 he quartet made its first appearance on one of the Lyceum programs and the applause of the students showed that the renditions were greatly appreciated. Later the quartet had an opportunity to sing on different programs and when the Lawrence Girls' Club visited, the bovs were at their best and were complimented very highly bv their hearers. The members: First tenor. Rudolph Johnson ; second tenor. Verner Swanson; baritone, Joe Tolan and bass, Richard Ninnis. Faculty Male Quartet I he Faculty of the High School recruited four members from its ranks this year and organized a male quartet. They made their debut at the County Teachers Institute held at Bessemer, at which time they grasped the opportunity to sing to their female hearers, Woman, which, with the other selections, were loudly applauded. The quartet sang to the student body on several occasions and had to sing everything they knew before they were allowed to leave the platform. They also appeared in public about town, one engagement being the occasion of the Commercial Club's Annual meeting. The quartette name was “Cojemamas.” The members: First tenor, Ernest A. May; second tenor, Howard D. McCal-mont: baritone, C. Dwight Jeffrey: basso, Earl O. Coffing. Page Fifty-three THE HEMATITE 1917 Page Fifty-four Page Fifty-five __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1916 THE HE MA TITE 1917 Football At the opening of the football season, more than forty players came out to try for positions on the team. Although they were not what might be termed a “husky” bunch, they were fellows with spirit, “pep” and sand,” which is the most important part of a team. The coach was Mr. Coffing. a man who showed from the start that he could make a good team out of green material. Sunshine, rain, or snow, Coach was there on the field, either running the fellows up and down the field through signals, or playing for the subs against the regulars in scrimmage. Every day from four-fifteen until six or seven o'clock in the evening, the players worked hard under Coach Coffing. The team was slowly molded into condition to meet the hard schedule of games which was outlined for them. The following teams were to be met: I. H. S. Alumni. Marquette Normal. Bessemer H. S., Northland Academy from Ashland. Wis., Washburn and Ashland, Wis., High Schools. Although the team was not always a “winning machine. they showed themselves “game” and were as good losers as winners. In this they kept up the true Iromvood High School spirit. The line-up was as follows: Anthony Jaresky, center. Although Tony was a Freshman, he was able to stop many a center rush. Leslie Davey. left guard. Leslie disposed of every man in front of him. Rixy Nyman at right guard, received the opponents' assaults without a totter. He was always 100 per cent in the game. Waino Helli. at left tackle, played hard in every game, seldom allowing his opponent to pass him. Captain Fred Tezak, at right tackle, tore large holes in the opponents’ lines, playing like a demon from the start to the finish of the game. “Butch” Swanson and “Swede Wennerstein at right end. split the onrushing interference of the opposing team, even if they were small fellows. Erne Dear, at left end, also small in size, scarcely ever missed a tackle. Milton Anderson at quarterback and Butsey” Leader, at right half, made exceptionally good interference to spill the opponents’ attacks. James Cribble, at right half, was a worker who was always on the job. Jimmy was marked up on the “gain side” and he never failed. “Peaches” Nadolney. at fullback, throwing his huge physique at the other line, tore it to pieces. Among the “subs,” the following have shown themselves to be exceptionally good football players: Frank Soraruf, Russell Slade, William Kupecky and Harry Thomson. Editor’s note: The author of this article happens to be a football man and he very modestly failed to mention himself. Fred Tezak was the acknowledged “Star of the Gridiron.” This is not under-rating the others, but only giving credit to whom it is due. Fred was the “towering strength of the team. and. while always playing fair,—as all Ironwood players do—he always fought almost to the point of exhaustion, putting into the game, in Coach Coffing’s words, “all that he had.” Page Fifty-six Basketball 1917 I lie prospects for basketball looked very slim, when Coach Coffing issued the call for candidates December 17. This was due to the fact that for the past two years there was no basketball team in the High School. But by the excellent training that the boys received under the Coach's instruction, a winning team was developed. Allan Shaw, captain and center, was a most consistent player. He could be depended upon at any time during a game to score a basket. He was especially good at long shots. Roy Nyberg, guard, gained the reputation of being one of the best guards the High School has produced. Very seldom lie allowed his opponent to shoot a basket. Rudolph Johnson, stationary guard, played an excellent defensive game. He also gave a lot of pep” to the other boys by his snappy style of playing. Sam Nitiiss, who played forward, played an exceptionally good game. He scored many points for the High School by his accurate free basket shooting. Milton Anderson, forward, showed the value of experience by his good team work. Occasionally he thrilled the crowd by a shot from the middle of the floor. Verner Swanson forward, although the smallest man on the team, showed true I. H. S. spirit by his plucky playing. Oliver Rowe, substitute, always filled the position when called upon and imbued his fellow players with a spirit of indomitable energy. On March 23rd and 24th, The Upper Peninsula Basketball Tournament was held at Houghton. About fifteen teams attended, including the strongest teams of the U. P. As the Ironwood H. S. had made a fine record previously, the school decided to send the team to Houghton. On the first day of the tournament, the I. H. S. team met the fast aggregation of basketball warriors from Marquette, and consequently they were defeated, bv the close score of 17 to 16. This, of course, eliminated the I. H. S. team from further meets. However, this did not cost our boys their reputation, for their manly bearing and behavior pleased everyone. We are proud of our boys for, after all, it is not what you do, but how you do it, that counts. Page Fijty-seven Page Fifty-eight 1916 THE HE M A TITE 1917 Wc may live without wisdom; we may live without books; IVe may live without money, or riches, or looks; But the thing that makes Irving, the Irving of joy, Is to know your own class-mates, each girl and boy. sInd the best way to know them—we each have a chance, It to go to class party, class picnic, or dance. It was at these school parties that we all got to know each other, for, verily, I believe, we would not have otherwise have known each other; we're such a monstrous big class. Nearly ninety of us! Our teachers and School I oard were good to us for we have given three parties a year, a picnic, and an extra party thrown in for special merit, as for instance, leading in the sale of Red Cross seals or football tickets. When we were Freshmen, only a few of our class could dance, but under the instructions of the lucky ones who did know, and the teachers, we soon learned, and we surelv had good times at our parties. As Freshmen and Sophomores we had our parties in the Froebel Kindergarten. As Juniors and Seniors we had our parties in the hall of the High School Building. As I have mentioned before, we were a very large class, but this did not hinder any of us from having a good time. Our class is singularly scanty in cliques. It is as democratic a class as can be found, and every Senior boy and girl will agree that he or she had a good time at our parties. Our Junior Prom was a marked success. It was held at the beautiful hall of the “Elks” on May thirtieth. 1916. In the words of the newspapers: “This social function was a very successful little informal dance. What made it so was its simplicity. As Seniors we had three parties. We were given an extra one for selling the greatest amount of football tickets. The football boys all came, and although they couldn’t all dance, they gave us speeches and toasts. We’ve had all of our parties now. but we've had some mighty fine times, and we can look hack upon them with much joy. F. H. T., ’17. Page Fifty-nine 1916 THE HE M A TITE 1917 . Page Sixty 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 Tour Future Life lies open to us. wide open, with all its possibilities, achievements, honors, riches, and fame 1 Before us. we see a wide road leading to success. The distant horizon radiates success. Some will travel this road and win fame. They will consider themselves successful. Others will travel this road and win riches and think they have succeeded. But success is neither fame nor riches. e all have great expectations. We intend to do great things that will make the world sit up. and take notice. You are vibrating with life swamped in ambition. But—we are not all Michael Angelos. Beethovens, or Mayos. We cannot all win the world in one great sweep. There are some who will work in the quiet, secluded parts of the earth; whose names will never be known to the world. Are these unsuccessful? No! and again Xo! As Shakespeare most aptly remarked, The world is a great stage, and we are all the actors.” As each minor actor adds to the success of the play, so each minor actor adds to the great big whole in life. And yet, should we call these quiet people the minor actors? Is it the person that makes the greatest noise that is the most important or the one who is doing the most work? The lion roars—and we tremble and trembling admire his strength. But the angleworm in its earthy obscurity and upon which we disdainfully tread, holds our life in its wriggling body. Only a few years ago did the world recognize his importance, but before that, the worm knew. God knew and what else was needed ? So grow not discouraged. Success lies not in fame and riches, but is the power to do the part, however small, assigned to you. and to do it cheerfully and bravely. In this lies your future! If you are brave enough, when, knowing you are right, to forge ahead, even though laughed at by the world—you will achieve success! Ellen F. Sorsen.

Five hundred was boiling; when campaigning we began, The mercury over the boiling-point ran. So the numbers we doubled—and lo and behold. When the next sun arose near 1.000 we'd sold. For this great success and the work of our Book, One man should be praised, and he undertook To help establish and plot out and write The various parts of our dear “Hematite.” He worked with us early and worked with us late. He said, “Do at once what you must do—don't wait.” He wrote for us, planned for us, printed and plotted, He tired himself out as statistics he jotted. To his untiring efforts our achievement we owe, And as we recall him our eyes brightly glow When we think that it surely was our lucky day, When kind aid was offered by dear Mr. May. Yes, he was the man who “earnest-like” came, Got us all busy and into the game. We wish to declare and acknowledge our praise In simple, but well meaning, kindly old phrase. We truly are thankful to you, Mr. May, Whose kindly assistance made work seem like play. The Editors.

Wis., and here was awarded first place by the judges, which entitled her to a place on the contest held at Superior, Wis. Frances is an unusually strong High School speaker and well deserved the gold medal which was awarded her. illiam Kupecky, a Senior, was awarded first place by the judges in the local Oratorical finals, his oration being “Invective against Corey. His next appearance was in the district contest, held at Hurley, Wisconsin, at which time he was judged to be the second best. This assured him a place on the Superior, Wis., contest. William is school “yell-master and certainly knows how to “orate. He, too. earned the gold medal which was given him. Michigan Contest George Siiberg, a Sophomore, has shown the genuine High School spirit during his two years in it. and in the Michigan Declamatory contest with The Subjugation of the Philippines” as his subject, carried off first honors in the local contest and then appeared at Iron Mountain, Michigan, in the district contest and there was awarded third place. George is quite an exceptional speaker for his age and before leaving High School will probably carry off the highest honors. Maurice Brody, a Senior, and one of the strongest speakers the High School has thus far produced, with an original oration entitled “The Naturalization of the Immigrant, won first place in the local finals and then appeared at the district contest held at 1 ron Mountain, where he was awarded second place among the contestants. In this contest the subject matter of the oration, as well as oratorical ability, entered into the decision, and it speaks mighty well for Maurice to have been given second place.

D. 1916. Provided: The rules hereinunder given must be accepted by the challengers and each and every player on the Senior team will be required to swear before a “Justice of the Pieces” that he or she will abide by them to the very letter. No member of the Faculty line-up will be required to swear. The referee and umpire must be personal friends of the Faculty players and arch enemies of the Seniors. If the Senior player carrying the ball makes a gain, he cannot thereafter again carry the ball. If the Senior player carrying the ball loses ground, he will thereafter be required to carry the ball in every play, and to stick to his method of play. Each “quarter” will be composed of three 5-minute halves, two in which to play, and one in which the High School girls will serve refreshments, to the Faculty members only. The Seniors will be penalized half the length of the field if any person on the side-lines roots for that team. No trick plays by the Seniors will be allowed. They are considered unsportsman-like. . . Seniors will not be permitted to punt without the written permission of the Principal. which permit they will deliver to the Faculty captain just previous to the intended play. No Senior player will be permitted to tackle a Faculty player. The “Ear-hold” is absolutely barred. The Challengers must supply the Faculty players with waterwings, rowboats and lifesavers if the field and weather are indisposed. Every Senior player must present a Certificate of Health, after the game, signed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the City of Ironwood. Challengers must supply the Faculty with bags or baskets in which to carry the ball. Seniors will be granted the one privilege of attaching handles to the ball. Every High School student will be compelled to attend the game and root. No one will be permitted to root for the Seniors. The timekeeper must be blind. The head linesman must fulfill his duties with the aid of a motorcycle. Page Eighty-ilwo 1916 THE HEMATITE 1917 About School Miss Goudie: Richard, who is the first Richard Heidemann: Chap.

W. Kitzman, Mgr. A. L. Picker, Mgr. Great is the motion picture. It is the newest of the arts, and in many respects the most wonderful. The genius who created the film, gave to the world a universal language and a new and marvelous vehicle of expression. Most of us have been disposed to regard the motion picture art as one identified solely with theatricals of a crude variety and this impression is due, no doubt, to its stupendous development along the lines of diversion and amusement. But aside from this, motion pictures are destined to become the most powerful single factor in the fields of education. The film as a means of expression is receiving the earnest attention of the most capable educators, thinkers, authors and actors. The influence of these thoughtful men, together with the advance in public taste, has already had and will continue to have, its effect upon the producers of film. We see upon the screen today, picture sermons of great impressiveness and power; interpreted by the most talented actors known to the world. The film will continue as the most popular source of amusements and entertainment, but in addition it will, more and more, serve a higher and more serious purpose— EDUCATION.

The entrance of the United States into the world war complicates an already difficult situation, for it means further restriction in the supplies of raw materials and new demands on the Country’s limited labor supply. There need be no fear of a depression in business so far as the buying power of the public is concerned—the only difficulty which may arise will be owing to the manufacturers’ inability to make deliveries because of shortage of raw materials and labor.
