From the foregoing statement one might be led to infer that only those subjects would be dealt with which were connected with society. However, as the greater portion ol our enjoyment has been derived irom an endeavor to further the interests of our country, it is apparent that tin1 patriotic element will be prominent.

We immediately held a patriotic mass-meeting and proved to ourselves and all within hearing distance that I. H. S. was back of the proposition. There were songs, yells and speeches and after that wondrous morning we all went home and spread the feeling to our people. Tt was but a short time before Ironwood boys rallied to the call for volunteers and we displayed our patriotism at that time by falling in line, under the direction of the Faculty, and parading to the depot to give Uncle Sam’s volunteers the right kind of send-off. There were several of these demonstrations, for several contingents left Ironwood. Soon after this, early in May, the single men of the Faculty proved their sincerity as examples by applying for admittance to the first officers’ training camp at Fort Sheridan. Messrs. McCalmont, Peterson, Zipoy, Jeffrey, Tapper, Coffing, Klevenger and Mason made application and were received, leaving Ironwood on the 12th of May, 1917. In passing it might be stated that the seven former are First Lieutenants in the National or Regular Army. In June, as a Class Memorial, the members of the 1917 Class all became members of the American Red Cross Society. During the summer of 1911, although disbanded, the students worked individually in their various patriotic pursuits. In the fall of 1917 each of the classes elected some patriotic course to follow during the ensuing year. The Senior girls arranged a Knitting and Reading Club under the direction of Miss Jean Goiulie and Miss Stella Lunn. Considering the fact that this club met but once a week and that after school, the work accomplished was very noticeable. All expectations entertained at the beginning of the club’s organization were more than fulfilled. Both the Junior and Sophomore girls organized for surgical dressing classes and met weekly for work. In December, 1917, each of the classes prepared a certain number of Christmas “kits” for the soldiers and sailors. During the fall, before snow made it impossible longer to continue, the entire student body had military drill on the campus under the leadership of the Faculty men. The boys of the school also helped harvest various crops, especially potatoes, during the months of September and October, the farmers being short of help and an early winter making it necessary to harvest with all speed. I. II. S. to the rescue. Realizing that the pupils played an important part in shaping the opinions of their elders, the Faculty gave the subject of food conservation careful consideration. This subject was regarded as part of the daily recitation work. When the $35,000,000 Y. M. C. A. drive was made, Ironwood High School did its part. At a mass meeting, which was addressed by the men of the Faculty, 128 Page Thirteen 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 ten dollar pledges were received, this money to be earned, of course, by those who pledged. At this date before the close of the campaign, a large per cent of pledges have been paid. At present reports Ironwood stands third in the State of Michigan. On February loth we gave the Thrift Stamp. War Savings Stamp sale a footing and boost when “Uncle Sam Harold Xyberg” appeared in the auditorium and supervised the sale of stamps and personally congratulated practically every student as a purchaser of these stamps. Directly to Uncle Sam's assistance have gone a number of our High School boys. Erwin Gustafson. Merritt Tomlinson, Lewis Tew, Leslie Davey and Gustaf Somppi have enlisted and are today serving in Army or Navy under tiie glorious Stars and Stripes. We have assisted in every possible way, lied Cross, Liberty Loan, Y. M. C. A. and K. C. drives in this city. At patriotic gatherings the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs of the 1. If. S. have put “pep into the meetings with their splendid musical renditions. We have a Service Flag hanging in the auditorium and another flying from the tlag-stalf and these show 71 stars, representing that number of alumni, faculty members and students who are serving today. Our latest endeavor is the Boys’ Working Reserve, and though it is too early to give figures, it is safe to say that the boys of the Ironwood High School will “do their best.” We have done all of these things and many more minor deeds for our country, “that that government of the people, by the people and for the people, and all other democracies, shall not perish from the earth.” Page Fourteen 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 The Y. M. C. A. Work With their characteristic spirit for doing things and with a determination to see it through, the students of the I. H. S. have accomplished one of the greatest tasks they have ever set out to perforin. The crying necessity of the boys in khaki for the comforts and pleasures of the h ■ M. C. A. made its appeal to 110,000 Americans throughout the country and they resolved to earn $1,100,000 for the “Y.’’ for its lied Triangle work in the Army and Yavy. This appeal lias been met by unselfish spirit of sacrifice by boys throughout the country, but here in Iron wood the girls also wished to he recognized as being anxious to contribute for the boys’ comfort and to “keep the home fires burning.” In November 132 students of the High School pledged themselves to earn and give ten dollars each to the Red Triangle. Immediately an army of workers was let loose and with a Red Triangle and “calling card” as credentials, they scoured the city for jobs. As the “1918 Hematite” goes to press the results of their labor show $1,250 as the amount earned by the patriotic sacrifice of the students. When the opportunity for worth while service presents itself I. H. S. is “over the top.” Up to the present time we are far in the lead of any other high school in the Upper Penninsula and second in the State, regardless of the size of the high schools. The only high school in the State which has contributed more than Iron-wood is the Grand Rapids Central, having an enrollment of 1,700 and a total amount for the Y. M. C. A. of $3,955.00. In the Y. M. C. A. and Boys’ Working Reserve campaigns conducted by the high school, the prime mover and guiding spirit has been Fred W. Trezise, I. FI. S., 1911. He has made every sacrifice for the cause. Ever since the declaration of war he has been going at top speed. The signal success of those two activities are strong testimonials of his patriotic leadership. Page Fifteen Class of 1918 Honor Roll Page Sixteen On the Class of 1918 Honor Roll there appear thkek names and we are as proud of the three represented by those names as it is possible for Americans to be proud. Erwin Gustafson was the first to leave school and enlist, his date of enlistment being May 5, 1917. Erwin is serving in the Cnited States Navy and at the time we go to press is on the V. S. S. Nebraska. Leslie Davev had. the “fever” for a long time, but held on to his school work until February 15th of the present year and on the 21st of that month offered himself to his country and is now in the Field Artillery and stationed at Waco, Texas. Gustaff Somppi felt the call and responded late in February of this year and is serving with the Army Signal Corps. 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 Emil J.

We realized this, when as Freshmen we ascended step by step to the High School auditorium, “seminarium mentium” It took more paper to record the names of the members of our class than it did any previous class. Since the other classes did not deign to notice our great numbers, we resolved to let them know we were there, by taking an active part in all school affairs. We won many interclass games in football, basketball and baseball, but our big victory came when we succeeded in selling the most Red Cross seals, in consideration of which, Mr. Watson granted us an extra party. Our second victory of importance came in April of that year, when we received a banner for having the most contestants on the Declamatory contest. With this prestige we entered upon our Sophomore year. We occupied the coveted Sophomore row and took our place among the “elders” of the school. Two of our members won honors in Declamatory work. Dorothy Miller received second place on the Declamatory contest and George Silberg, the class orator, was sent to Iron Mountain to represent the school there on the Michigan Contest. We added to our steadily growing record and proved our loyalty to the school by selling the most “Hematites.” These honors increased our dignity and spurred us with the resolve to set an ideal class before the school. Accordingly, in our Junior year we bent all our efforts toward winning the Lyceum election. However, we were unable to break the ancient precedent that the Seniors win. Nevertheless, we did prove ourselves good losers. After the election we devoted our energies to dramatic work and on the 24th of November we presented two plays. One of these plays, “Patriotism,” was written by a member of our class. The other was a short skit called the “Mouse Trap.” Due to the excellent work done by our amateur actors and actresses the plays were pronounced as two of the best ever produced by a Junior class. We are drawing near the end of our High School career et we are still striving for honors dear. Not for love of conquest, as it may seem, But that the school may remember the Class of Nineteen.

The enrollment is about 96 or 98. It joins in school activities with no less spirit, however, than have previous classes. When the regular school election campaign opened, the Sophomores decided to have no party of their own but to vote independently. At the final election many of them voted with the Senior Party, three Sophomores having been nominated on the Senior ticket as Cabinet Members, all of whom were elected with the balance of the Senior Party candidates. The Sophomores have had two parties already this year, one which was given to them for selling the most dime tickets for football and basketball, and the other party one of the regular three each class has.every year. Both were enjoyable, successful and well attended. This year the Sophomores had a football team. Each class usually has one, organized to play in interclass games. The Sophomores also had a sturdy representative on the school team, Anthony Jaresky. At Christmas time when the packages for the soldiers were being bought, the Sophomores did their part. A good number of Sophomore boys made $10 pledges to the Y. M. C. A. Earn and Give campaign and most of them have paid their money. The Sophomore girls, under the leadership of Miss Hildreth, organized a Knitting Club, which met regularly. Recently a Surgical Dressing Class was organized by these same gills. In all activities of the school, the Sophomore Class has gotten into the spirit of things and held up its corner.

However, though young and perhaps “green” in everything else, it surpasses in number of members, all three of the other Classes, having an enrollment of li 2 students. Like all other Freshman Classes, and Freshmen, it took us some time to get acquainted with our new surroundings, but with almost a year back of us and most of us sprouting into Sophomores, we have overcome all impediments and feel that we are one of the essential parts of the Ironwood High School. Wo have taken an active part in all of the “doings” of the school and have tried to attain the best. In Military Drill, for instance, though possibly under weight and height for real soldiers, our numbers gave us a greater showing than the other classes and we had a considerable advantage there. In the sale of Red Cross stamps, Dime tickets for Athletics, purchase of Thrift Stamps and action in all other School undertakings we worked as veterans and made some records. In the Scout organizations a great many of the members are Freshmen. AVe have one distinct honor attached to Scouts and that is in having as a member of our class a Scout who sold some $4,200 worth of Liberty Bonds of the Second Loan, Luther Arthur by name. One feature of the Freshman Class is what is known as the Freshman Girls’ Glee Club, directed by Mr. Watson. This is the first time in the history of the school that there has been such an organization and having made good, there is no doubt as to the success of the Watson Musical Club for the next three years. In Oratory and Declamation we took a very active part and have made a good start. In the first contest Michael Nolan was given one of the five places and Elizabeth Sisko chosen as an alternate for Declamation. AVe have made our start and expect to gain speed during our High School career which will carry us out in 1921 as “record-breakers”.

There are, of course, a great many boys in the service today who have attended the Ironwood High School but who did not complete their courses. It has been impossible to keep a record beyond the graduates much as we would like to include the names of all who have at some time been connected with the school. In the list which follows there doubtless will be omissions. I. H. S. graduates are all over the world and we have no way of knowing whether or not a great many of them are fighting for their country at this time or not. There will also be a great many enter the service after this goes to press. Will the reader, therefore, take these things into consideration, if upon perusal of the list, omissions are discovered ?

A great many enlisted voluntarily for service and some of our boys accompanied General Pershing when lie went to France with the first 20,000. Numbers have enlisted since the first call and others have waited for Uncle Sam to call them to their posts, but all of them have gone with the same spirit which is known to everyone who knows anything about the Ironwood High School. We felt the first effect of the war in the departure for training camps of eight of our teachers. Since the time they left we have been able to keep in touch with them and the fact that every one of them is now a commissioned first lieutenant is evidence of their ability as leaders. Our Service Flag shows, as the “1918 Hematite'’ goes to press, some seventy-one stars. This number is being added to weekly. We would like to be able to give the rank of every man who is now in the service, together with complete address, but time and space do not allow of this and we are limited to what is given herein. Among the 71, however, there are those who have been awarded commissions, both in the Army and Navy, and practically every one is either a commissioned or non-commissioned officer. An effort was made to get photos of every I. H. S. soldier and sailor, but our efforts resulted in the securing of 40 only. We know why the boys have gone, though, and we sincerely hope that they’ll all come back. Through the pages of this book we send them greetings and “Wish them the best of luck”.

The play was an unusually attractive one and its wonderful production and unanimous acceptance by the audience which packed the house are splendid recognitions of the work undertaken and completed by Miss Jean Goudie and Mr. Watson in coaching and staging the play, and of the work of the amateur actors and actresses who made up the cast. Space does not allow comment upon the individual members of the cast, but one general statement may be made which applies to all and that is that the acting was so excellent throughout and on the part of everyone that those in the audience who had seen the original play by the original cast made a very favorable comparison and stated that in some cases the acting surpassed that of the professionals.

With Capt. Davey, Leader. Helli, Xadolney, Dear and Jaresky as a nucleus, the Ironwood High School Football Team began one of the most successful seasons it has enjoyed in some time past. As is customary, the first game was against the Alumni, and the “old-timers,” with their usual amount of confidence, expected to walk away, but were really lucky to be on the even side of a 7 to 7 score. The following Saturday—October 6th—we met Rhinelander here. Score, 6-0 first half, Rhinelander; final, 52-6, Ironwood. Some new stars were brought out in this contest, notably Sanderson, Cannon and Soraruf. On Oct. 13th, we journeyed to Washburn and “trimmed” them to the tune of 34-0. Our next opponent was our old rival, Bessemer, who “bit the dust,” 48-0. The last two games, with Calumet and Ashland, were lost bv the respective scores of 12 and 24-0. Ashland, with almost a veteran team in the field, was given the surprise of its life and was actually outplayed until near the end of the third quarter, when Nadolney had to leave the game for the second time on account of a badlv twisted knee. Leader, by a bit of clever dodging, carried the oval over the Ashland goal for what appeared to be the first score of the game, but it was not allowed because the referee claimed he had not blown his whistle. Of the fifteen men who were awarded letters, Davey, Helli, Xadolney, Leader, Sanderson, Sorarnf. Trezise, Slade, Somppi. Trethewey, Grant and Kudiak are to receive their diplomas in June, leaving only Captain-elect Dear, Cannon and Jaresky to start the 1918 season. Richards, Xordling, Bergquist, Holmgren, Chipman, Rowe and Ahonen are all promising material, however. BASKETBALL. Few of our basketball games were on the “won” side of the score book, but considering conditions of practice and that not one letter-man was in school, the season may be considered a decided success. The brunt of the offense fell upon the broad shoulders of acting Captain Sanderson, while Captain-elect Bergquist and Leader, with the aid of Slade, Jackson, Kronlund, Kubiac, Nyberg and Rowe, stopped our opponents scoring from both mid-floor and under the baskets. Our best games were against Bayfield and Minocqua. We beat the former qnintet the only game they lost during the season and held Minocqua to a low field goal. Our ancient opponent, W akefield, seemed to hold a horseshoe, as .these scores will indicate: Wakefield, 19-22-15; Ironwood, 16-20-13. With Bergquist. Kronlund, Rowe, Sandell. Xordling and Jareskv left, prospects are exceedingly bright for next year. Page Fifty-two 1 VO 1917 FOOTBALL MEN.

Though perhaps a little awkward at our first social function, great enjoyment was gained from that very awkwardness. On the hay-rack many of those who had felt themselves out-classed on the dancing floor, found themselves master of the outdoor sports. Our Sophomore year witnessed the most successful and enjoyable party given during our High School career. The “costume party,” the first and only one of its kind in the history of the school, owed its great success to the ingenuity and enthusiasm of the Class. The social event which eclipsed all other was, of course, the Junior Promenade, which took place at the Elks’ Hall. In our Senior year we have had a number of parties, but due to the fact that parties had by this time lost much of their novelty, they did not afford as much pleasure as they once did. However, all of the parties served their purpose in promoting a unified feeling among the members of the Class of 1918, and we shall look back with pleasant memories to the times when we met for a few' hours of social fellowship in the I.

Ever since the organization of the Iron wood High School, music has been an important feature of it. The morning music period has been an enjoyable one for all students who have ever been connected with the school. During the past nine years Mr. J. C. Watson has acted as Principal of the High School and those who were in school when he first took charge formed their first opinion of him when they heard him sing, during the morning music period, “It Is Not Raining Rain to Me.” Mr. Watson sang himself into the hearts of the students and since that time has promoted the spirit of song, together with his celebrated smile, by organizing and training Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. This year’s Clubs have been equally as successful as any of former years and have had the added advantage of learning and singing a great number of patriotic songs. Patriotic meetings for the Red Cross, the Liberty Loans, the War Relief Association, etc., have felt the effect of having the High School Glee Clubs take part in the programs. The rendition of songs by the Clubs has been highly pleasing and entertaining and they always receive an invitation to return. The Watson Musical Club is the girls’ glee club of the school and, as in the other two clubs, the members are chosen by ability. The Bovs’ Glee Club, of course, is composed of boys of the school, and the Freshmen Girls’ Glee Club confines its membership to girls of that class. This club is a new one this year and its success would seem to warrant a permanent organization. The Glee Clubs put “glee” into High School life. Page Sixty-one 19 18 19 18 THE HEMATITE iiiiiiitiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiHniniiiNiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiniiMiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiniiiiiiiit PROF. MARTIN HOLEMO. When the history of Ironwood is written, emphasis will be placed upon the community’s achievements in music. Then M. Holemo will come into his own, the credit due him will he just as generously given as his services were unselfishly rendered. John Larson, so the record reads, never took a course in correspondence of any kind and he went to his final rest without having discovered any particular ability as a persuasive letter-writer, but he wrote one letter that was destined to gloriously affect the musical development of several thousand people. Now, wait a minute! Prof. Martin Holemo was born in Tunset, Norway, in 1855. When he was nine years old his parents moved to Christiania and there he was placed under the tutelage of Professor Edward Peters, a violinist with a national reputation as a master of technique, tone and expression. lie was carefully instructed for three years. For three years more he applied himself diligently except when he was swimming, skating, skii-jumping and engaging in the other vigorous sports that enabled him to lay the foundation of a Viking’s physique. But violinists are at a disadvantage in Norway for the climate whets the appetite and it cannot be satiated by music. So the youthful Martin was apprenticed to a painter—no, not one who paints rivers and trees and princes decorated with coronets and royal millinery, Page Sixty-two 19 18 19 18 THE HEMATITE but one who paints houses and ships and such things that a thrifty people would pay for in the current coin of Norway’s realm. At twenty he joined the army. Many men do not like that life, hut it was the happiest period of Martin Holemo’s whole career. And why not? All he had to do was to play the cornet in the military band, shoot at a target and go through every kind of athletic exercise. By taking a good look at his photograph it is not difficult to believe that he was the best shot in the regiment. During his five years of service die was assistant leader of the band and frequently was the actual leader. He came to America in 1884 and settled at Rice Lake, Wis., the home of Ring-ling Brothers, where he drilled the circus band and arranged much of the music. In 1887 Mr. Holemo decided to move to Minneapolis. Now, there was the place that the aforementioned letter came in, for John Larson wrote him that Ironwood had many opportunities for him. Pretty important letter when you come to think it over. A few weeks after Mr. Holemo’s arrival in our city he organized the Iron-wood City Band. The only other resident of the city who was a member of that once famous band is Mr. Swan Hult. The chief had to give it up for you can’t go on a still hunt and play a trombone at the same time. In 1900 Mr. Holemo began his connection with the Ironwood Schools when Supt. L. L. Wright engaged him to organize an orchestra for the High School. It consisted of the following members: Anna Sullivan, Isabel Sleight, Anna Wright, Christina Holemo, Ethel Sleight, Carl Palmquist, Oscar Haugen and Martin, John and Olaf Holemo. The membership has increased each year until now it numbers over forty pieces, most of whom are his pupils. During the past thirty years Prof. Holemo has had a place on every amateur performance of any consequence given by the different organizations of this city, regardless of their creed, nationality or political affiliation. The annual High School Dramatic Club play would have lost much of its charm if he had not been there with his orchestra to stir the spirits and to delight the hearts of the audience, thus putting everyone in such a receptive mood that the play was a success from the moment the curtain rose. What person who has ever taken a part in those plays will ever forget the thrills when the orchestra began to play. After weeks of faithful practice the plav was on! hen the members of all those casts finally assemble for a grand reunion they will paraphrase the words of Riley s poem, “The Old Band,” and shout from the depths of their souls, “I want to hear Professor Holemo’s orchestra plav!” Perhaps you think lie’s a millionaire. What? A man who has a big, generous heart such as his-? But never mind, for some time after his soul takes its flight to join the celestial orchestra, and may that time be long delayed because we need him to help tune up the spirit of a rejuvenated America, he will hear a paen ol praise arise from grateful fiddlers—big and little—and that will be reward enough.

Those who have entered the annual contests count those appearances among the important events of their lives and date a great many of their successes from their first oration or declamation. This feature of the school work has been developed to the highest point, especially in recent years, when Mr. Watson has done everything in his power to popularize the contests and increase competition. The call w'as not issued alone to those who felt at ease on their feet at any time, hut the self-conscious, bashful, backward students were appealed to and prevailed upon to enter and receive the benefits. As a rcognition of the effort expended and ability shown in receiving first honors from the judges, Mr. Watson, for the Classes of lllio-’lC-T?, has purchased a large Silver Cup and upon the same has had engraved the names of all winners since 1897. Provision has been made for the names of the winners for the next twenty years. Page Sixty-five 19 18 19 18 THE HEMATITE Oratory and Declamation The Oratory and Declamatory contests this year were equally as important and successful as any in the history of the school, and although the number of contestants was small compared to some years, the work was thorough and entrants and hearers derived much benefit from the speaking. Entered in the Oratorical Contest, which took place on Thursday, April 11th, were fifteen boys; their names being given in order of appearance: Luther Leader, Stewart Reed, Michael Xolan, Arthur McDuffey, Peter DeRubis, Walter Best, Frank Soraruf, Albert Tederstrom, Arthur Smitham, Andrew Luoma, Harold Nyberg, George Silberg, Charles Johnson, Donald Smith and Clifford Trethewey. Five speakers and an alternate were chosen from this number, the speakers having no rank of first, second, etc., as follows: Stewart Reed, Michael Nolan, Harold Nyberg, George Silberg, Clifford Trethewey, Frank Soraruf. In the second local contest in which these five appeared, Harold Nyberg was given first and Stewart Reed second place. The District Contest, held at Ironwood on Friday evening, April 19, brought first honors to Ironwood, Harold Nyberg being awarded first place by the judges. Of this we are justly proud and feel sure that Harold (“Spike”) will make a showing in the future. The Declamatory Contest, held on Friday, April 12th, had twenty-one contestants, in the order of their appearance, as follows: Gertrude Larson, Rose Mark, Anna Johnson, Edith Cole, Frances McClary, Mae Biddick, Ida Anderson, Ruth Grim, Elizabeth Kupecky, Elizabeth Sisko, Elsie Medlyn, Anna Macek, Anna Tederstrom, Ruth Anderson, Edythe Peterson, Florence May, Ingrid Jacobson, Dorothy Miller, Francis Madajeskv, Althea Kellott and Elizabeth Lesselyoung. From this number, Dorothy Miller, Francis McClary, Elsie Medlyn, Francis Madajesky and Edith Cole were chosen, with Elizabeth Sisko alternate. In the second local Frances McClary was given first honors and on Friday evening, April 19th, appeared in the District Contest at Phillips, Wisconsin. Paye Sixty-six 19 18 THE HEMATITE Valedictorian and Salutatorian The Valedictorian of the Class of 1918 is Ida Nyman. Ida’s average for her four years’ work is 93.821. Ida merits the honor which is hers and her fellow students, classmates and members of the “1918 Hematite Board” “take off their hats to her” and give her the praise which is due her. To travel over a course of four years with ten or fifteen Faculty members judging your work and giving the deciding marks and to come out at the end of that course with the highest class average is no mean accomplishment, but one of the greatest successes ever gained. This is not an honor bestowed upon the student by vote of the Faculty or student body, but the result of four years of continuous, conscientious hard work and one of which the successful student may be more than justly proud. Ida has been a steady, alert, wide-awake, active student and we congratulate her most heartily. Francis Nelson, Salutatorian of the Class of 1918, follows so closely upon the heels of the Valedictorian that the averages have to be computed to the third decimal place, Francis’ average for the four years being 93.808. What has been said of the Valedictorian is true of the Salutatorian, especially inasmuch as the averages are so nearly equal. Francis has worked hard and unceasingly throughout her High School career and because of her scholarship was chosen to head the “1918 Hematite” staff. Her co-workers, classmates and fellow students willingly accede to her the honors which she, by her efforts, has won and bv this means recognizes her success and extends sincere congratulations. Page Sixty-seven 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 Class Prophecy It was during the administration of Emil Bay that vre two old school associates came together and made the following observations: President Emil Bay had proved himself an unparalleled orator, and what was more, was declared to be the very reincarnation of Theodore Roosevelt by that worthy gentleman himself. President Bay has requested the presence of all of his former High School classmates at the greatest social function of the year. During the course of the evening’s entertainment, all music lovers were promised a special treat, that of hearing the musical genius of the day. A gasp of unsuppressed wonder passed through the crowrd as Waino Helli appeared, carrying his owm special baby grand on his left shoulder, while on his right perched little Johnnie Johnson, who had acquired great fame in his role of page-turner for the renowned pianist. Poised gracefully before the piano Waino first allowed his hands to caress lovingly the ivory whiteness of the keys, then to fox-chase each other up and down the keyboard with such rapidity that a splendid opportunity was afforded to Johnnie for displaying his dexterity. We were next entertained by the remarkable antics of Odin Carlson, whose acrobatic stunts were evidence of many patient years of practice. The President was so impressed by this performance that he personally led the High School yell, to which we all heartily responded, though with somewhat cracked voices. The Mazurek Brass Band of world-wide importance was next announced. To be sure, there was our old friend Marie Mazurek, who led a band consisting of Ruth Anderson, Xathelia Mackiewicz. Matilda Johnson, Gertrude Paruleski, Jennie Lundgren, Agnes Jackson, Leola Hooper, Catherine Petrusha and Winnie Brenzel, whose head alone was visible above the coils of a massive horn. Marie had surely accomplished something when she could direct a band of this type. Ruth Anderson and Agnes Jackson were especially good trombone players, while Matilda Johnson drummed away with great vigor and precision. The banquet was an extremely sumptuous affair. We sat next to an emaciated person, who, being an apostle of Upton Sinclair, continually upheld the principle that starvation was the cure for all bodily ailments. This interesting personage was Mr. Romanus F. Nadolnev. Page Sixty-eight Illlllllllllllllllltllllllllllll in i ii ii ii mu ■■ |n ........ min.....iiiiiiiiii...........mil 19 13 THE HEMATITE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMlnMIllHIIMIIIIIIIIII 19 18 After the banquet we were introduced to the most successful government detective, by name, Peter DeRubis. His whole person spelled keenness and alertness. He was in the company of Frank Pelkonen and John Morrison, two live-wire, comic movie actors, the former going by the name of Rip-Snort-Booinerangus and the latter that of “Dynamite.” We confessed that we had not seen them on the screen, but hoped that we would soon have the great pleasure. Attracted by the sound of a familiar voice, we detached ourselves from the gav throng, determined to discover the origin of this sound. We soon perceived Mr. Watson and Arthur McDuffie engaged in a violent discussion, most of the violence being on the part of the former, who, disliking greatly to waltz, was waiting impatiently for the next fox-trot, using the intervening time in expounding his favorite theory to Arthur. Just before leaving we were confronted with another famous actor of the day, Harold Nyberg, whose fame lay in his reproduction of Ichabod Crane. We had seen him the previous year in New York, where he acted Ichabod in the play of Sleepy Hollow. Space does not allow us to give in detail all which he had to speak of, but the world had surely looked upon him with favor. A week after this affair, while on our way to visit a Girls’ School in Chicago, we noticed a great confusion on one of the avenues. Upon investigation we saw, to our astonishment, Ida Anderson, engaged in a heated argument with traffic police, who had accused her of speeding. The crowd finally dispersed, and Ida, having settled the matter, tore once more down the street in her speedy machine. Arriving at the school, we found several of the upper classmen were Ironwood people. Edith Cole appeared to be the star pupil. She was adorned with medals for brilliancy in her work and for perfect attendance. Francis McClary was desperately attempting to complete a course in penmanship. The strain of this difficult task had caused her to regard the world in a most sorrowful way. She had a jaded expression and never smiled. It was quite sad. We learned from Edith that George Sanderson had become an instructor in psychology in an Eastern University. We were informed bv the School President that the history text being used was written by Victoria Elizabeth Chisholm. Most schools of the country were contemplating its adoption on account of its accurate accounts of the great world war. On reflection we thought this seemed for “Babe” for she always did love history. We asked to see the book. Here and there we read accounts of Page Sixty-nine 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 various battles fought in 1917-T8-T9 and names mentioned, which were familiar to us were those of Leslie Davey, Gustaff Somppi and Erwin Gustafson. We became deeply interested and upon further reading ran across an account of an invention by Andrew Luoma which was responsible for our victory in the great struggle. Even his picture was given, but one would hardly have known him. The strain of his work as an inventor had changed him from a pleasant, smiling and accommodating appearance to a tense and rigid one. However, his name will never be forgotten. Finding it necessary to return to our work, we were unable further to tour the country in pursuit of old school friends. Page Seventy 19 18 THE HEMATITE 19 18 The Star “1918 Hematite” Salesman Bessie Govins, Junior, heads the list in number of Hematite sales, having disposed of no less than 28 copies, one more than her closest competitor, John Morrison. Practically every student in the school took an active part in the securing of subscriptions for the li'll and 1 ill S Hematites, and although all did well and worked with enthusiasm to help dispose of from 800 to 1,000 copies, Bessie Govins is to be complimented and congratulated upon her wonderful spirit and aggressiveness. Her record is evidence of what a live-spiiited student can accomplish, and, of course, is splendid evidence of her selling powers. Though the Hematite is a book, which like a ear “runs on its reputation,” sells on its reputation, this year when people watched carefully the expenditure of every cent, it required the mobilization of all powers of salesmanship to get 28 signatures attached to as many blanks. Bessie is therefore to be highly commended for the work which she did and the Hematite Board takes this means of recognizing that service and showing its appreciation. The sincere thanks of the Board are also extended to the entire student body for the support given this publication.

Football Personals CAPT. LESLIE DAYEY—XIicht Tackle. Davey was an ideal Captain, one who could be absolutely depended upon at all times. A more willing worker could not have been found. He had a bad knee, which kept him out of several of our minor games, but he more than made up for this in our big games by bis remarkable leadership. A big energetic fellow with a Herculean endurance made him the terror for all his opposing tackles and ends who tried “to box” him. CAPT.-ELECT ERNEST DEAR—Left End. A stalwart young man whose terrific tackling, breaking up of interference and receiving of forward passes made him the logical choice for next year’s captiancy. LUTHER LEADER—Half and Quarter. A young man of football instinct. He was a fine tackier, a most daring open field runner, a remarkable forward passer and a wonderful “dodger.” Many times had he thrilled the spectators by bis long end runs and off-tackle smashes. He was an adept at making his opponents think they had him tackled and then bv squirming and twisting would add five and ten yards more to his gain. ROMANES NADOLNEY—Fullback. Just the sort of a man that kept his team “keyed” up to the highest pitch and fighting all the time, bast as lightning for bis weight and a consistent ground gainer. His teammates placed more dependence in him than any other man. He was a wonder at backing up the line and a demon for work. WAINO HELLI—Left Tackle. A most aggressive tackle. One who will always be remembered for the “using of bis hands” and “driving in methods.” He should make a name for himself in college. GEORGE SANDERSON—Left Guard. Though this was Sanderson’s first year of football, he developed into one of the foremost stars of the teams. He outplayed every man he played against, and not being satisfied with that, made tackle after tackle on the opposite side of the line. Time after time Sanderson would stop the opposing backfield man before he could get out of his tracks. Page Seventy-two 19 18 19 18 THE HEMATITE FRANK SORARUF—Right End. 1 rank s krst year at football was a decided success. He became a hard man for opposing halfbacks to get around and his hard tackling along with his conscientious attitude made him a decided favorite among bis fellows. LLOYD TREZISE—Right Guard. Little but mighty, with grit to burn and nerve that couldn’t be shattered, this fellow became a stumbling block for his larger adversaries. GUSTAFF S )MPPI—Halfback. A man with a “never-die” spirit, and a bulldog tenacity. He became a good ground gainer and a star punter as the season progressed. RUSSELL SLADE—Halfback. Russell was a fine man on defense, knocking down and intercepting many of the opponents’ forward passes. He was a hard tackier and fair ground gainer. CLIFFORD TRETHEWEY—Right Guard. Clifford came out under adverse conditions—bad ankle—but was ever ready to do his part when called upon. He was always in the thickest of the fight. HAROLD CANNON—Quarter. Though only Harold’s first year at football, he ran the team like a veteran. His headwork and quick thinking made many a yard for Ironwood. ANTHONY JARESKY—Center. An ideal center, making very few bad passes during the season. His goal kicking was also a factor in Ironwood’s success. We will hear from him later. Worthy mention should be given John Kubiae, Albin Grant, George Berg-quist, Walter Holmgren, Howard Richards, William Nordling, Matt Ahonen and Lloyd Chipman—as the men who took the bruises and bumps in order that the “Iron” of Ironwood could triumph on the gridiron.

He has always been ready to give helpful suggestions to the members of the Board and to aid in any and every possible manner. The “1918 Hematite Board” and the entire Senior Class owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. May, whose direction and ready assistance have been responsible for the sale and publication of the “1918 Hematite.” We also wish to express our gratitude to Mr. J.
