FOREWORD Sons and daughters of the Northwest, Working, dreaming, Of the days when youth was strongest. 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.
