Loose not your tongue in hasty words of blame For many faults. A heavy care it came. In justice, then, give us our humble due. Cherish this book, though novel scenes you view Tn distant lands and far. Its tones proclaim To loyal classmates true, our High School’s fame. If it, perchance, fond memories renew, When glancing o’er its pages; if you find Therein some thought of pleasure to thy mind Of high school days and friends, of solace sweet When shrouding cares thy life’s clear purpose blind, And aching tears do to thy worn lids start,— Then will this hook its highest purpose meet.’’ “Lest Ym Forget97 The golden age of our life is almost over; a few more weeks and the school we love will know our step no more. The time i- hastening on when we will stand for the last time as a class before the assembly of our friends. The French have a proverb which reads, “To part is to die a little”. We feel the tnith of that now as we realize that our high school life is almost at an end. We are going to part with well loved friends; with teachers who have so faithfully helped us; with all the familiar surroundings of our school life. We do not want you who follow us, in whose care we leave the traditions of our school, to forget us. That what we have done and been, you shall not forget, we have made this record of our last year with you. Our high school life has been full of happiness and now we are doing our last labor of love for the school organization of which we are a part but which is far greater than all of us. We want this to be our greatest, best work. Only too well do we know how far short of our aims we have fallen in this; we do not condone its faults hut ask that you take it in the spirit in which it is offered, as a memorial of our happy days in the I. H. S. May this book, to you who will be far from the old school, be a remembrance of all I. II. S. stands for, so that in remembering us you will continue to carry on, and play a square, clean game as Ironwood lias taught you. To you who will follow us and take our place in the school, may this annual he an inspiration to serve the school and support the principles of true sportsmanship for which it stands. If such prove true, we can leave for the larger, harder field, cheered by the thought that our work is done. Lest ye forget, here is our Hematite. Page Six G AA CVTIT E 22) SUPERINTENDENT DUFAY R. RICE Dufay R. Rice was born in Southwest Missouri, April 29, 1883. He came to Ironwood in October, 1920, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. E. T. Duffield. He received his elementary education in the country schools, his secondary education in the high school and in the Southwest Missouri State Normal School, graduating from the latter institution with the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy in 1907. lie received the B. A. degree from the University of Colorado in 1911, and the M. A. degree from The Teachers’ College, Columbia University, in 1917. His experience covers four years as teacher in the rural and graded schools of Missouri, four years as a Principal in Missouri and Oklahoma, five years as a Superintendent in Idaho, and three in New Mexico.

Mrs. Rohert King Alex Chisholm @ oM E AA PRINCIPAL JOHN RUFI John Rufi received his elementary and high school education in the public schools of Kansas. He later entered the Kansas State Normal and completed the four year course for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. His graduate work was done in The Teachers’ College, Columbia University, New York City, where he spent two years and received his Master of Arts degree and Principal’s Diploma. His teaching experience covers a period of six years, and includes work in elementary, secondary, and vocational schools. Mr. Rufi was twice in military service. He served in the infantry on the Mexican Border, and in the navy during the last war.

The standard of success which a student attains in life depends largely on who teaches him. No one has greater power to mold character than the teacher who every day is an example as well as instructor. The high ideals of our teachers cannot help hut be an inspiration. We have been confronted with the task of mastering the different courses outlined by the school authorities. The facility with which our sympathetic teachers explained the difficulties shows them without peer in their chosen profession. Their untiring efforts and pleasant helpfulness at all times has wonderfully impressed us. When we think of the valuable time and energy these men and women are putting forth that we may advance ourselves, we cannot help but feel our great indebtedness to them. These men and women are specialists in their particular branches and have been devoting their time and effort to preparing us for a useful and prosperous life. We realize how unworthy and unappreciative we must have seemed at times and what a dis appointment our attitude must have been. But language seems inadequate to express our real feelings at parting with such true friends. May we not reassure them with the thought that they have buoyed us up and urged us on, and that guided by the lofty principles, which it was their care to instill into our youthful minds, we cannot but some day find anchorage in the haven of success.

II. S. in 1918, a promising ‘bunch’ of Freshmen with just the right amount of pep and spirit. The first year we showed our talent in declamation. Our class was well represented in the preliminary contest ; one of our number was chosen among the five best, while another was chosen as alternate. When we were Sophomores, one of our class had the honor of being in the declamatory contest at Ashland, Wisconsin. This year the “Red Masque” is made up mostly of Seniors, and everyone will admit that these Seniors show the result of three years’ practice in declamation. In Lyceum elections we were certainly active even in our Freshmen year. Every year we have had some members of our elas5 as candidates and who does not remember last year's election? The Seniors won the election from us ‘by the skin of their teeth.’ As for dramatics, haven’t we produced some wonders in that line! Who in Ironwood has not heard of Naomi Dear? She is only one out of many, as anyone knows who has seen the plays put on by the “Red Masque” this year. We are sure that no one has seen anything to compare with our Junior play last year. Our social affairs have always been a success. Everyone enjoyed the Junior prom last year, and also the Junior party. The most remarkable thing about most of our parties is the large number of boys who attend. Some of these parties have been given to us as a reward for selling the largest number of basketball tickets and Hematites. Our class can count some very good salesmen among its members. This fact is a proof that we excel in the art of argumentation. Then there is music, and we are not behind in that either. Boys and girls both have shown an interest in the Glee Clubs. Very many of our girls, who were in the Watson Musical Club last year, are now in Miss Palmer's Glee Club. Those of us who did not get into the Glee Club at least tried to, and that is the best anyone can do. Athletics, however, is our strong point! Our football and basketball heroes will long be remembered in the annals of the school. We even have some basketball heroines. No one needs to be told who they are, because those people who do not attend the games must certainly read the Daily Globe. Our girls’ basketball team is new, but it is improving right along. The Senior class has certainly contributed its share towards athletics! Last but not least is our Debating Club. So far we have had only one debate, in which we were unsuccessful. However, we have had so much practice since, and we have such good material on the two teams that we have high hopes for the future. In all our various activities, we have proved ourselves good students. We have had the largest number on the honor roll in spite of much outside work. We are expecting the number to grow during the coming months. We heartily hope that every class which graduates from the I. II. S. will have four as successful years as we have had in High School. M.

For this we received an extra party. Instead of having a regular party we had a sleigh ride, and spent the evening at the ice rink in Bessemer. So large was the number that attended that two sleighs were necessary. Our other two parties were given later in the year, one at the Central School, the other at the High School. We established Freshman Day. 1 nder the direction of Miss Collins and Miss Alexander we gave a program consisting of the play “Ice On Parle Francais” and several fancy dances. When we were Sophomores we decided to give the upper classmen a scare and run for Lyceum. Altho we did not win, the results were close and we succeeded in our original purpose. On Sophomore Day, a day of our invention, we gave the play “Popular Songs’’ under the direction of Miss Stonerock anil Mr. Watson. This play was a survey of the earliest popular songs to those of the present day. There was a great deal of dancing and singing in it. The songs were impersonated by different members of the class. That year we had two parties, one at the Lanfear School, and the other at the Central School. This year on Junior Day we presented “Larry Hamilton Pedagogue’’. This play was written by three members of the Junior Class. Mr. Jennings directed the play. At our first party this year we entertained the football team. This party was held at the Central School. About a month after our first party we gave the party which always comes with Junior Day. Our class has many prominent members in the High School. Some of the football and basketball players are from our class, and we have also pupils who rank among the highest in their studies. M. E. (’., ’23.

Two weeks before school started in September, however, about forty men responded to Coach Black’s call for volunteers and from this number a squad was picked that was feared throughout the Upper Peninsula. As is the usual custom, the first game was played with the Alumni, who won by a score of f� to 3. On the following Saturday the team went to Bessemer, where Ironwood scored 21 to her opponent’s 6. The St. Ambrose squad was the next victim and was defeated by a score of 52 to 0. On October 8, the Iron River team came here expecting to defeat Ironwood. In this hope, however, Iron River was disappointed, for, this game, which was played in rain and snow, was won by the home team by a score of 27 to 14. With a desire for revenge burning in their hearts the Bessemer men came to Ironwood on October 15. The first half of this game ended with the score (i to 6, but in the second half Ironwood took the lead, finishing with a score of 20 to 6 in her favor. Our football boys had a pleasant trip on the next Saturday to Duluth where they played the Central High School. This game seemed rather doubtful at the end of the first period, the score being 6 to 3 in favor of Duluth, but by the time the game was called Ironwood had piled up a score of 19 to Duluth’s 6. The next game on the schedule was that with Menominee. This game was forfeited to Ironwood when Menominee, disagreeing with Referee Mahoney’s decision, left the field. On November 5 the boys put up a plucky scrap at Ashland but were defeated by a score of 24 to 6. The last game of the season was played at Calumet on Armistice Day and decided the championship of the Upper Peninsula. Four seconds before the game was called Ironwood scored a touch down, which would either have tied the score or put Ironwood in the lead, but the play was called out of bounds and Calumet was victorious with a score of 19 to 13. The men worked hard all year and must be given due credit. Under our capable coaches, Black and Threlkeld, they developed into one of the best elevens that has ever represented the I. II. S. 1 After all due credit has been given the men, the coaches, and the splendid support of the school and townspeople, one must remember that the first team could never have done so well had it not been for the untiring efforts of the men of the second team ami the reserves. These men who came out every night and served as buffers for the first team, without any hope of honor and praise, were one of the main factors in the success of the eleven and cannot be given too much praise.

JOHNSON CHAR. JOHNSON Left Tackle, Captain Knowing football from beginning to end in addition to being powerful, aggressive and every inch a fighter, Captain Johnson was the only I. II. S. man to win a berth on the All Upper Peninsula team. Playing his last year for Iron wood, Johnson displayed an extraordinary power of leadership. Always courteous to his opponents when the occasion demanded and at the same time able and always willing to help carry the burden of his teammates. STEVEN McKEVITT 11A LFBACK, CA FT A IN -E LECT This was Steve’s second year on the team and he proved to be the i shining light’ of the season. Never failing to advance the ball on offense and backing up the line from end to end on defense, McKevitt was the most powerful back on the team. His presence in a game meant much to the lighting spirit of the team. As a tribute to his football ability, he was unanimously elected to pilot the red and white through the coming season. STEVEN McKEVITT “TOM” DAVEY Center Shifted from guard to center, Davey soon showed that the new position was his natural place. He was good at diagnosing plays and intercepting forward passes. A sure passer and possessing plenty of light, nerve, and stamina he undoubtedly was one of the hardest working men on the team. Davey is lost to the team through graduation and it will be a real man’s job to fill his place next year at the pivot position. EVERETT KRONLUND Left Guard “TOM” DAVEY “Game as they make ’em and fighting to the last whistle,” is the way “Peve” played football. His fight and determination displayed in the Calumet game won him honorable mention for All Peninsula honors. This was Kronlund’s last year and his presence in the line will be greatly missed on the gridiron next fall. EVERETT KRONLUND Pape Fifty-Five E AA =VT IT £ 22) Ol'NNAR I ETKRSON CLIFFORD ROW R GUNNAR PETERSON Left Guard A steady hard-hitting man who was always capable of holding his own with whoever his opponent happened to be. Peterson was a tower of strength both on offense and defense and there will be another guard position hard to (ill as Gunnar graduates this year. HARRY ELLIS Right Tackle Playing his first year, Ellis showed he possessed that stuff out of which a real football player is made—fight. He has one more year and with this year’s ex]� er-ience Ellis is the logical man to step over and take Captain Johnson’s place on the other side of the line. HARRY ELLIS CLIFFORD ROWE Quarterback Possessing a good South paw ’ ’ fling in connection with plenty of football brains and determination, Rowe proved himself a capable field-general, and piloted the team through a hard but successful season. He has two more years and if his improvement continues he will furnish the Red and White a superb general in the coming seasons. ARY ID JOHNSON Halfback Small in stature and experience but a natural born foot 1 vail player. Johnson was the best bach on the team at picking a hole and then proceeding to get through it for a nice gain. He is predicted to show real class next year. ARY ID Pajrc Fifty-Six (§ M E AA =VTIT CLARENCE NELSON Right End Playing his last year for I. IT. S. Nelson assumed a stellar role in every game. Being speedy, brainy, and a sure tackier, few men ever got around his end for a substantial gain. Irouwood loses one of the most consistent athletes she has ever claimed when “Click” graduates in June. DAVID ANDERSON Full Back i Dubba ’1 was unable to resist the call CLARENCE NELSON of the gridiron any longer and so he reported for practice in his Junior year, and had little trouble in making the team. Although inexperienced he soon became a first class Full and with his punting ability and powerful stride great things are expected of him in his Senior year. JOHN CARLI Halfback Although playing his first year as a back, Carli showed speed and natural ability. He is powerful and hard to tackle and with his remaining year in school he is expected to develop into real University material. 8ELDON ORARY Left End JOHN CARLI Hailing from Marquette, “Seldom Weary” fell into football togs as soon as he arrived. No man on the team trained more faithfully or fought harder than our left end. Tall and rangy and adept at receiving passes, Crary was playing like a veteran at the end of the season. He is expected to play a “whale” of a game for I. H. S. next fall. SKI.PON v'UAKY |H (§ MEMATITE (§) HOLLAND NANCARROW Half—“Kewpie KewpieV1 small stature was the only factor which stood between him and a regular position on the team.

WALDKMAR WTCKMAN End HOLLAND NANCARROW Waldemar was always on the job and ready to give his l est every time lie was called upon. Although handicapped in the early part of the season by an injured knee, he was speedy, a good tackier and always played a consistent game at end. WALD CM A R WICKMAN OSCAR GUSTAFSON OSCAR GUSTAFSON Half “Gus” suffered an injured shoulder in the early season which had to be favored ’till the close. A good line plunger, a hard tackier and constantly breaking up forward passes, Gustafson showed up well in every game. He is expected to make people sit up and take notice next fall. EDMUND PICKARD Lineman “Pick” was the general utility man of the line, being able to play any position from center out to either wing. Although suffering with an injured shoulder, Edmund played a stellar game when called upon. With this injury healed he is going to make somebody hustle for a position next year.

From his very entrance into athletics Nelson has been building a reputation for himself and his school. Standing for everything that was high and clean in sports and possessing plenty of natural ability in addition to a ‘never die spirit’, there was always a position for him on the Gridiron, Basketball Court, Cinder Path, and Diamond. “Click” was not only a star in athletics hut in scholarship he was a leader, his grades ranking among the very highest. I. H. S. should he proud of Nelson, and indeed we are proud of him, and wish for him with his abilities many laurels in the future. Page Sixty i EMATITE Basket Ball Review After such a successful season in football, it seemed very essential to every loyal adherent of the Luther Wright School that as good a record be made in basketball. Consequently a squad of thirty reported shortly after Christmas vacation, to the hardwood arena and after alxmt a week’s try-out, due to a scarcity of time and space, the squad was cut down to fifteen men—seven likely looking regulars and eight other candidates who proved to be of invaluable assistance in molding the first string aggregation into an efficient fighting machine. A month’s time witnessed Iron belt twice trimmed, the Legion Colts broken to very docile animals on two occasions, the green color of Topaz completely obliterated by the red and white. The team then journeyed to Ashland, reeking with determination to even up an unsettled account made against L. L. W. last fall, which they did on the partial payment plan, to the tune of 26 to 4. Northland College proved a stiff opposition in one of the best games played on the local floor but due to superior goal shooting and team work on the part of the Luther Wrighters the college team came out with the small end of the score as their motto. The next contest was at Negaunee which ended in direful results for Tronwood and seemed to indicate the decline and fall of the five basketeers. History told in three words: they came, they saw, and were conquered. Following this defeat the Luther Wrighters managed to nose out Wakefield on their opponents’ floor by two points. Mellen was the next quintet to throw a wrench into the machinery by winning by one point in a hotly contested game. Time and again L. L. W. had possibilities but failed to register and their team work seemed to be a lost art. In an endeavor to lose the Jinx which seemed to be camped on its trail Coach Black prescribed a three day rest for the squad. However, the team had not come out of the kinks sufficiently to stave off the fast offensive attack of Bessemer and lost by a score of 27 to 15. The next encounter witnessed a wonderful renewal of old time pep and team work and in the season’s fastest game on Mellen’s floor, according to Mellen fans, Iromvood won by one point. In final payment and to end the season in a proper manner Ashland afforded L. L. W. a thriller in which both teams put up a first class brand of basketball but ended with Click Nelson’s veterans of many wars, victorious. Such a record as this would naturally be incomplete should the great work of those who made it possible be omitted. Captain Click Nelson, Senior, was the steady wheel horse of the team and always rose to the occasion when all seemed lost and points were absolutely necessary. Incidentally, he was the highest scorer on the squad. Bill Dohr, Senior, and new material, found a place on the quintet which seemed just what was needed to perfect team work. Dohr’s place was literally at all times all over the floor. The mystery ever grew how one man always knew what to do. Rowe, Sophomore, and Pickard, Sophomore, seemed about equal as forwards, Pickard’s favorite stunts being short shots while Rowe on the other ham! favored the long ones. McKevitt usually kept his forward worried by snagging a basket at every opportunity. Crary, Junior, a long-legged, rangy lad, showed wonderful development during the season and will make good at center next year. The spirit of cooperation and self-sacrifice on the part of the squad together with the never ceasing alertness and efficiency of Coach Black made an unusually successful season.

By defeating Calumet and Eseanaba, the team won third place at the tournament, and made a showing which was a credit to the Iron wood High School. Negaunee and Menominee won 1st and 2nd places respectively. Our first opponents were our old friendly rivals, Calumet. The first half ended with the score 6 and 5 with the Red and White leading. In the second half our team hit its stride and the outcome of the game was not long in doubt as the final score 17 to 9 would indicate. In the second game we met the Maroons from Menominee High. In a slow but hard-fought game Menominee nosed out ahead with a 7 to .’1 lead. This game was one of the surprises of the tournament as Ironwood was the favorite and was expected to take Menominee into camp without much trouble. The first half ended a 1 to 1 tie and the second half saw the score a 3 to 3 tie until the dying minutes when Menominee shot two long field goals and destroyed Ironwood’s hopes for 1st or 2nd place. Then came the fight for third place between Ironwood and Eseanaba. At the start of the battle Eseanaba, which had defeated Marquette High and Sault Saint Marie, but lost to the Negaunee Champs, was the favorite. But Ironwood soon won the support of the immense number of fans and this new spirit carried the Luther Wrighters through for a 15 to 13 victory for third place. The team conducted itself in a gentlemanly way both on the floor and off, and in every way its actions reflected credit upon the school which it represented. CLARENCE NELSON Left Forward (Capt.) Playing his fourth and last year of basketball, Captain Nelson put up a steady consistent game at forward. No opponent went on the floor against Ironwood without the instructions, “Keep Nelson covered.” In spite of this handicap, “Click” was the high point man in the Red and White scoring machine. If Nelson “plays them” as hard and clean in the game of life as he did in Basketball and Football, success will verily be his reward. CLIFFORD ROWE Right Forward This year “Cliff” ended his second season as forward for the I. H. S. Basketeers. lie was aggressive, speedy and had an uncanny eye for the basket. His work was classy and at times he played a game unrivaled by any in the Upper Peninsula. Rowe has two more years to “cage ’em” and he is expected to be a whirl-wind before he is claimed by graduation. WILLIAM DOUR Center and Forward Coming to I. II. S. from Appleton with a big “rep” everybody expected Dohr to have the “swell-head”. But not so with Bill. Instead of advertising himself he quietly got down to business and furnished the Red and White one of the best Basketball players she ever boasted. A superb floor man, equally at home at center or forward, with ability to shoot from any angle and possessing a ‘never-die’ spirit, Dohr’s one year spent in our midst will ever be remembered. GUNNAR PETERSON Left Guard Gunnar is the only man on the team with the distinction of playing the entire season without shooting a basket, but he also carries the distinction of having played every minute of every game throughout the entire season. Peterson is lost to us through graduation and it will be many a day before another guard appears who can fill his place under the opponents’ basket. STEVEN McKEVITT Right Guard “Steve” is at home and master of his territory whether it be Basketball Court or Gridiron. As an all-around athlete should, he possesses the knack of always being in the right place at the right time. This was McKewitt’s second year on the team and we are indeed glad to have him witli us two more years, for, with a man of his calibre, fighting for I. II. S., our share of victories is assured. SELDON CRARY Center (Captain-Elect) Tall and rangy and at the same time able to cover the floor in fine shape Crary makes the ideal Center. He came into his own in mid-season and with a good eye for the basket and a natural gift at batting them in, was playing a stellar game when called upon to do so. As a tribute to his work this year and what is expected of him next, Seldon was elected to pilot the team through its 1922-23 Season. EDMUND PICKARD Forward Pickard was the all-round man of Coach Black s net men, playing either guard or forward. He was always on lTis toes as a Basketball player and with his accurate shooting, quick passing and nice floor work “Pick” is sure to find a place in the limelight next season. Page Sixty-Four @h b (Z M NT IT TI TTjMTfS Til® The basketball girls of the Ironwood High School owe a debt of gratitude to Lois Lobb, for it was she who first suggested the organization of a girls’ basketball squad and begged the assistance of our excellent coach, Mrs. Rice. Although Lois has not yet played on the team, her chances of doing so are many for she is working into a strong guard position. She is one of our most encouraging side-line boosters and thoughtfully supplies us with gum and apples when she can’t be with us. So we, who love basketball, owe Lois many thanks. The present interest in basketball is largely due to the formation of the private basketball club which existed in last year’s Junior Class though this year’s team is composed of members from all classes in the high school. Both Mrs. Rice and Mr. Wiley are deserving of many thanks. They have been most excellent coaches and we have benefited by their instruction. They have given much time and energy to the development of the team which our High School can now boast. We cannot express the gratitude we feel toward Mrs. Rice, who has worked with us so untiringly from the start. She has not only coached our teams, but lias chaperoned the girls on their trips and has extended an influence over all that can only work toward the development of wholesome young womanhood among the high school girls. To Mr. Wiley, too, we are most grateful. It is to both these people that we owe the first real girls’ basketball organization that the I. H. S. has had for several years. At each practice we have something new, and hope sometime to make a championship team for our school. Each girl knows what’s what in basketball, and no fold is ever made that the basketeers do not notice. We have felt that to develop the proper spirit of sportsmanship is as important as to develop good players, and with this end in view, we have attempted, in this, our first year’s work, to lay a good foundation for the teams that are to follow, and to pave a way for those coming after us. This year we have played two games with Ashland and two with Wakefield in which we were defeated. We fought hard up to the last whistle and took our defeats like real sports. We played two games with the Faculty and were victorious in one of these. In both games with Hurley we were victorious after some real hard fighting. We enjoyed our trips very much, especially the one to Ashland, and we all regret that it is past. As a whole, ive consider this a successful season, because, although we were victorious in only three games, we all realize that this is our first year of basketball, and that we all have gained a great deal of real valuable experience.

In this event Ironwood, Bessemer, and Wakefield schools compete annually for a silver loving cup, known as the Y. M. C. A. Trophy, due to the fact that the race is promoted by the Gogebic County Young Men’s Christian Association. The trophy will become the permanent property of any of the schools winning it three times. Ironwood has two winnings to her credit, which were scored in 1920 and 1922. So far as we know, there is no other contest in the country like this Gogebic Range Ski race. In this particular, the event is unique in school athletics. David Anderson, a member of the Junior Class, piloted the 1922 team to a signal victory, made so this year by weather conditions. Due to a sudden thaw the course was reduced to a canal of slush, rendering a condition with which the teams were wholly unacquainted, having practised on hard, squeaky snow. The slush clogged the skis and they would not slide, and the quick wit of Captain Anderson and his squad in recognizing this, saved for them the victory. This sport has called out a new kind of sportsmanship, in that it requires the athletes competing to put their best into the game without the stimulation of cheering crowds or the encouraging presence of team-mates. Every man must ski on a lonely country road and alone, as if life and death depended upon his best. Who will say that this sort of sportsmanship is not akin to patriotism?

The purpose of the club is to further dramatics in the high school, as well as to furnish some training in histrionics for the students. This club was the first one to be started during this school year, and consequently its progress has been greater than that of other clubs. Mr. Ben Craig, dramatic instructor in the high school, kindly consented to undertake the position of advisor for the club, as he is greatly interested in dramatic work. He is aided in his work by an advisory board made up of six charter members, namely, Naomi Dear, Caroline Treloar, Annabelle Miller, Paul Risely, Thomas Davey, and Oscar Gustafson. Phillip May was unanimously chosen president of the dub, and Caroline Treloar was selected as secretary and treasurer of the organization. Throughout the year the Red Masques have given two entertainments. On Wednesday evening, the twenty-first of December, the club gave its first entertainment. Two one act plays were presented at this time. The first one was a comedy farce of one act entitled, “Enter the Hero”. The following people constituted the cast: Anne Carey ....................Naomi Dear Mrs. Carey................Caroline Treloar Ruth Carey................Julia Gustafson Harold Lawton..............Thomas Davey The second play was an oriental pantomime entitled, “The Shepherd in the Distance The various parts were taken by the following people: Noise Maker Wazir .......

Both numbers were well received by the audience. The entertainment was of good quality and was given in a highly pleasing manner. '1 he next work, which the club undertook, was the mid-year play, the proceeds of which were used to help pay the debt of the Athletic Association, lhe play, Booth i’arkington s “The Country Cousin , was given Friday evening, March 17, 1922, at the Rialto theatre. The cast which was admirably selected, both from the standpoint of ability and appearance, was as follows: Mrs. Howitt...................Ina Silberg Eleanor Howitt.............Mary E. Curry Sam Wilson.....................Paul Risley Nancy Price...............Caroline Treloar George Tewksberry Reynolds III ........... Thomas Davey Stanley Howitt ................Philip May Athalie Wainwright ..........Naomi Dear Mrs. Jane Kinney ..............Lily Rye Cyril Kinney .......................John Kupecky Archie Gore ...........Everett Kronlund Mrs. Maude Howitt.......Annabelle Miller Pruitt .................Oscar Gustafson Blake ...............Lawrence Lofberg The club, however, has not neglected social activities altogether. On Saturday evening, March 2(i, the club gave a very successful party at the Froebel Kindergarten. Many students outside of the club were invited and every one thoroughly enjoyed it. The Red Masque is one of the liveliest, if not the liveliest, club in the high school. Its work lias been not only beneficial to the members of the club, but its co-operation with other organizations has been of great value to school activities. It is the hope of the 1922 Hematite staff, that the good work of the Red Masque Dramatic ('lull will lie continued. N. E.

It is the name of an organization of older High School boys, which is just about the livest organization in the High School. They are banded together to promote the best and highest type of boy life, on a platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The purpose as stated in the membership certificate, and to which each of the fellows have subscribed is: 4 4 To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, and as far as possible, throughout the community, high standards of Christian character. ’ ’ The club dates back to a meeting of fellows from the High School, who met for a week-end at the County “Y” camp, at Lake Gogebic early in November, where the workings and benefits of the Hi-Y, its purposes, ami plans were discussed. Games were played and a good time in general was had. It so happened that the night chosen for this meeting proved to be one of the coldest in the present winter. The thermometer dropped that night to 17 degrees below zero, and was the cause of some discomfort to the fellows who slept with their toes out of their blankets. However, the splendid eats and general frolic amply compensated for whatever there was of seeming hardship. The first meeting of the club was held at the High School building on the evening of November 29, 1921. The following officers were elected: President, Thomas Davey; Vice-President, William Dohr; Secretary, Paul Risley; Treasurer, Waldemar Wickman. The club began with sixteen members. Right after the holiday vacation, another meeting was held and it was the unanimous choice of the club that Mr. K. L. Watkins should lead the group and become faculty advisor. From then on, regular meetings have been held, having a variety of programs and activities. These activities started off “with a bang.” On Wednesday, January 25, 1922, a mass meeting was held under the direction of the Ili-Y Club. Speeches were given by members of the club and Mr. G. G. Eissenmann, the Gogebic County Y. M. C. A. Secretary, who spoke concerning the Hi-Y movement. The purpose and the aims of the lli-Y were given to the student body, in order that a clearer understanding of the Ili-Y idea might be held. On the following Friday, another mass meeting was called again under the direction of the club. That morning the club’s first campaign was launched, a campaign for one of the “four C’s’’ Clean Sportsmanship. This campaign was right in line with the efforts of school officials to attain the same end. There were six speeches that morning given by I. H. S. students and two of Iron wood’s prominent business men. In keeping with the policy of the Hi-Y idea, namely, clean living and the others of the “four C’s,’’ the Club has undertaken the management of some of the social activities of the school. On February 25th our Club managed an all-school party at the Central School, which attracted one of the largest bodies of students seen in any gathering this year. The purpose of the club in this was to demonstrate the practicability of all-school functions under student management. The function provided games as well as dancing, and all sorts of good times were in progress there. This contributed much to the party, in that none had to decorate the walls, but rather, everybody had a good time. One of the gratifying signs of our Hi-Y work is the fact that our club’s activities had attracted the attention of the Club at Ashland. On March 30th, our President and Treasurer, Davey and Wickman, were guests of the Ashland Club, who had invited them over to speak at a Hi-Y Booster Banquet, at which time, the Wisconsin State “ Y9 9 workers were being entertained by the Ashland Club. It is the hope of the club that before the year ends we shall have taken over some responsibility for the welfare of the younger boys in Iron wood. We propose to have a hand in sharing with our younger brothers some of our vacation days, so that these days may be made richer for all of us. Hikes, games, and over night outings are in the schedule for the younger lads, and a good team of Hi-Y fellows will be needed to keep one jump ahead of our younger brothers.

The Since the class of 1921 organized debating teams in the Ironwood High school, we the class of ’22 have striven to maintain the same standard. However the year has not been a very successful one for debating. Ironwood entered tlm Michigan League, but tlie program offered by the League was not very satisfactory and Ironwood was forced to drop it. The members of the affirmative team were Hilma Somppi, Charles Johnson, and Luther Johnson. Luther resigned from his place on the team and Philip May was nominated in Iiis place. The negative members were Lois G. Lobb, Frances Hedlund, and James Bean. Under the supervision of Mr. Jennings the teams appeared to be progressing rapidly. Both teams were composed of strong, intelligent, and reliable speakers. rI he affirmative team showed early in the season that they possessed much skill in argument. They debated against tin negative team of Negaunee; the decision was two to one in favor of Negaunee. Tin1 negative team of Ironwood did not have a chance to exhibit its speaking ability, but we are able to assure you that this team was a strong one and would have proved successful if it had beeli given an opportunity. Even though this year's debating schedule was discouraging wo hope that, in the future, Ironwood will have a winning debating team. We know that Ironwood students have talent as speakers, and all that is needed to insure their success along this particular line is experience. age Seventy-Six § W£MATITEr ) QAVEY - ClPC.MCP C JOHNSON -WS.MGR.

For the first time in twenty years the high school was represented at a state contest. Miss Elizabeth Kupecky and Michael Nolan, seniors, having won first places in the final local contest, appeared at Ashland in the district contest. There also both were given first honors. As representatives of the district they then went to Superior to speak in the final contest of the Chequamegon League, of which Ironwood is a member. Again both were awarded first places. Miss Kupecky and Michael Nolan represented the league in the Wisconsin state contest at Madison in which each was given fourth place. Miss Kupecky gave a reading from “The Melting Pot”. Michael Nolan delivered “Robert Emmett’s Last Speech ’ Annabel Miller, a freshman, was judged second best in the local declamatory contest. This honor entitled her to accompany Miss Kupecky to Ashland. Miss Miller read one of the Penrod stories. Since honors came to Miss Miller as a freshman, much is expected of her in declamation in the future. Everett Kronlund, a representative of the Junior class, delivered an oration, the title of which was “National Apostasy”. He was awarded second place in the local contest, and consequently accompanied Michael Nolan to the district contest at Ashland. The 1922 team has already made an admirable record. In the local contest which was held for the purpose of determining who would represent the school, Annabel Miller took first place with “The Fleet Goes By”. And Frances Hedlund second with “ Strongheart. ” in the dramatic selection contest. In the Oratorical tryout Everett Kronlund won first with “National Apostasy’ . Thomas Davey was awarded second place with “The Message To Garcia”. In the humorous selections Naomi Dear won first place with a cutting from Rip Van Winkle. Della Sabolewski was second with “The Modern Game.” Miss Miller and Miss Dear represented us in the Ironwood, Bessemer, Wakefield contest held at Bessemer on March 24th and were both given first place by unanimous vote of the judges. I’age Seventy-Nine ® M E AA AT IT E rv@ School Clubs The September enrollment had been the largest in the school’s history. Serious work had begun with the opening of school and everything pointed to a year of achievement. Our football team made a splendid record. The various classes organized and a number of parties were given. Aside from school parties and athletic contests, however, it was felt that the social life of the school was deficient and that not enough attention was being paid to legitimate student activities. The old organization, “The Lyceum”, which had once been the medium for student activities was no longer adequate to the needs of the enlarged school. It had had many admirable features and had secured splendid results, especially during the time when the enrollment was small. However, there were now several reasons why it was considered inadvisable to revive the Lyceum. The assembly hall was no longer large enough to accommodate the entire student body and it was manifestly impossible to have long programs during which large numbers of students would have to remain standing. Moreover, the Lyceum had, very properly, put its main emphasis on literary work such as orations, debates, music, etc., and this did not interest all of the students. Then too, in an organization of over five hundred fifty the participation would naturally be limited to a proportionately small number of students. For these reasons it was felt that the problem of providing student activities could be better solved by encouraging a large number of clubs with membership so limited that each member would have a chance to actively participate in the club program. During the first semester it was considered advisable to lay stress on regular school work, but in January it was thought that other student activities could now be introduced without seriously interfering with school work. Partly as the outcome of some debates, held in the Junior English classes, as to the desirability of having extra-curricular activities, the plan of school clubs which is now in operation, was formulated and ultimately put into effect. It was hoped that enough clubs, embracing enough different activities, could be provided so that every student could find something along the line of his own particular interest and that the groups would not be too large so that every member could take an active part in the organization and government of the Club. A large number of clubs was proposed and a census taken to find out which ones would be most popular with the student body. At last, on the 24th of February, the first meetings of the various Clubs were held and their organization effected. Most of the Clubs were very popular from the out-set and they promise to be one of the most important and interesting features of the life of the school. They are in such variety that almost every student may take part in some activity in which lie is personally interested and their size is limited in such a way that every member may feel that he can have a definite part in the programs and in the management of his organization. Some of the clubs represent innovations in school activities. Such clubs are: the Chess Club, the Embroidery Club, and tin' Kodak Club. But it seems certain that these will be as useful and worth while as some of the more conventional school activities such as literary and scientific clubs. While it is only by the heartiest cooperation, both of students and teachers, that the continued existence of this scheme of clubs can be assured, there seems at present to be no doubt that the system will continue although it is, of course, hoped and expected that improvements will be made from time to time. It is not to be expected that a movement of this size can be perfected in one year. Following is information about flu special activities of the various clubs: Page Eighty e AA °VT IT E g) MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB It is the aim of this club to train the ears to distinguish between the fundamental principles of music, and the differences in their expression, through the medium of voices and instruments reproduced by the victrola. As a result of this study, it is hoped to produce a love and understanding of good music. At each meeting a program of victrola records is given. The records are selected carefully for the definite study of a particular principle and are analyzed. Besides a study of the fundamental principles of the art, the historic development of music from ancient times is considered; also the development of the opera and the oratorio. The club is informal; it has twenty-two members. A knowledge of music is not necessary. The only requirement for membership is to enjoy music. The sponsor is Miss Driscoll. APPRECIATION OF ART CLUB The “Appreciation of Art Club” has been formed for the purpose of studying the beautiful in paintings, architecture, and sculpture. The officers are: President .................. Ruth Smith Secretary and Treasurer.. .Elizabeth Eplett Vice-President .......... Verona Eplett Sponsor ........................Mr. Fletcher The Club expects to edit, in cooperation with Mr. Watkins “Kodak Club,” a catalogue in which the worth while pictures of the High School will be reproduced and commented on. This will be presented to the School Library. THE SENIOR READING CLUB The Senior Reading Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Jean Goudie, was organized in February and had its first meeting February the twenty-fourth. At the first meeting of the club, Frances Hedlund was elected president, and Gladys Johnson, secretary. The object of the club is to acquaint the members with some of the modern plays. The first play, “Suppressed Desires”, by Susan Glaspell, was read by Lois Lobb, Frances Hedlund, and Florence Nordling. The second play, “Her Husband’s Wife” by A. E. Thomas, was presented by Linea Ericson and Carol Thompson. The next one, “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals” by J. M. Barrie, was read by Gladys Johnson. The members of this club are Linea Ericson, Sadie Nicholas, Frances Hedlund, Mae Scott, Marion Bauer, Florence Nordling, Lois Lobb, Bernice Burns, Carol Thompson, and Gladys Johnson. FRENCH CLUB Sponsor: Mildred O’Connor. The French Club consists of seventeen members. It has no formal organization; a program committee plans each meeting. The Club has been organized with the purpose of studying phases of French life and the geography of France which are not studied in regular class periods. The lives of great French men and women are reviewed with a view to creating an interest in French history. A part of each meeting is devoted to games which require the students to think and speak in French. Since all of the members are studying French for the first time, no attempt is made to study or read French literature. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club has been organized in the belief that the ancient but scientific game of chess will provide the same sort of mental discipline as is found in geometry and science, combined with the zest of competition.This year nearly thirty people are learning the game from the very beginning, but it is hoped that by next year the school will have a corps ot efficient exponents of the art of Caissa, the royal game. No officers have been appointed up to this time; they will be chosen later, at least partly on the basis of their ability at the game. Sponsor: B. Jennings. THE APPLIED ARTS CLUB The Applied Arts Club was organized with Miss Breene and Miss MacFarland as sponsors. The purpose of the club is to develop an interest in art. Phases especially offered are water color painting, pastel and charcoal drawing, the painting of boxes, and bead-makmg. The work is begun under the supervision of the sponsors and may be finished at home. Ihe club is made up of about thirty members. No one who likes art could help enjoying this club, because the sponsors have so many interesting suggestions to work on, and each girl ma choose any one of them. The officers of the dub are, President, Celia Grigg; ice-1 resident, Lillian Ladin; Secretary, Elizabeth Prout; Treasurer, Saima Johnson. Page Eighty-One muiuiuiun @ M Z AA S TITE rv@ MACHINE SHOP CLUB A number of the boys who had had advanced work in Manual Training, wanted to form a Machine Shop Club. Mr. Miller consented to act as sponsor. The boys spend their time in projects in which they are personally interested. Most of the time has been spent on working with gas engines. The membership is limited in number but the interest is live and the boys enjoy their club period very much. V WOOD TURNING CLUB The boys who have had wood turning are eligible for this club. They spend their time working on novelties such as candle sticks, lamps, bud vases, napkin rings, etc. Sponsor: Mr. Ecklor. THE BASKETRY CLUB The Basketry Club was started upon the request of a group of High School girls, to learn the art of basket weaving. This group gradually became larger until there were thirty-two girls who wished to become basket-weavers. A club in basketry was then started and these same thirty-two girls now comprise the Basketry Club. It is the object of this Club to not only teach the girls how to apply their knowledge to practical things, but to teach them how to do something that they would not otherwise learn how to do in the ordinary school curriculum. The girls will start out by making the simplest forms of baskets and then gradually work into the more difficult and artistic designs. The meetings are very informal and it is the earnest endeavor of the sponsor to give each girl all the individual help that she needs. At the first meeting of the Club the matter of purchasing reeds for the girls was discussed, and it was voted to have each girl pay the sum of 25c. into a general fund and then have the sponsor buy the reeds for the whole club. In this way the “per capita” cost was reduced to about 1 5 of what it would have been if each girl had to buy her own reeds. The officers of this Club are as follows: President ...............Letlia Ileathcock Custodian of Reeds.............Alphild Coleman Vice-President ..........Carrie Tretheway Faculty Sponsor ...............Miss Mary King Secretary-Treasurer, ....Hannah Nyberg THE FRESHMAN LITERARY CLUB The Freshman Literary Club is primarily for freshmen students who are interested in literary work. It is the aim of this club to have its members read and enjoy literary works, which, because of our limited time, we cannot read in our English classes. The hour and a half devoted semi-monthly to this club enables us to read these additional works and to gain a more thorough and a deeper insight into them by analysis and discussions. A committee formed by the officers of the club, Erwood Slade, President; Norma Olson, Vice-President; Hazel Tretheway, Secretary and Treasurer, directed by Miss Brogan, the Club’s sponsor, arranges additional programs for the various meetings upon which the members appear giving readings, declamations, and orations. PHYSICS CLUB President ..............Waldemar Wickman Secretary and Treasurer. Holland Nancarrow Vice-President ..............Selden Crary Sponsor Threlkeld That club was organized for the benefit of those who were interested in physics. Topics not treated in the general physics course were taken up at bi-monthly meetings. S. S. S. CLUB On February 24tli the S. S. S., or Snappy Snap Shot Club was organized for the purpose of increasing our knowledge of photography. Officers were elected and plans discussed for the meetings. During the spring, talks have been given by club members and by outside speakers covering the construction and possibilities of the camera. Field trips have been taken to places where pictures of interest might be snapped. Other meetings have been devoted to the discussion of photographs taken by members, or found in magazines and newspapers. The high school laboratory has been utilized one evening a week for developing, printing, etc. President ...................Mabel Nelson Treasurer ....................James Pearse Vice-Pres. and Field Chief.. .Edward Crary Chief Developer...............Adell Hydar Secretary ..............Arabella Swanson Sponsor..................Victor B.

The club has made a study of local and national forest conditions, and special papers on forest preservation and restoration have been read by members at the regular meetings. Outside speakers have given several interesting and instructive lectures. The officers of the organization are: President.................Comstock Ilicks Judge ...........................Luther Hill Vice-President...............James Voyce Chief Forester.................Edmond Pickard Secretary .................Clyde Nicliolls Sponsor.......................W. E. Payne KODAK CLUB President ....................William Dohr Judge....................Gunnar Peterson Vice-President ...........Clarence Nelson Sponsor E. L. Watkins Sec. and Treas..............Dwight Trezise Purpose: The purpose of this club is to learn more about amateur photography and to promote a closer union among the fellow students by means of this common work. Special Features: The membership of the club is .‘14. During the year many interesting subjects were brought to the attention of the group in the way of teaching the members the technique of taking and developing pictures. At different occasions some of the leading photographers spoke before the club relating their experiences and giving some very useful information for the amateur photographers. Field trips enabled the members to take pictures and on these occasions common faults of taking pictures were discussed such as the background, light, sky line, and the like. Committees were formed for the purpose of developing the snaps taken on field trips. These snap shots were then studied to find the common faults and methods devised to remedy the same. JUNIOR LITERARY CLUB The Junior Girls organized a Literary Club under the direction of Miss Alexander and Miss Backon. There are fifteen members in the club and at the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Ada Holmgren; Vice-President, Anna Farney. Since the club is an entirely new venture no definite plans have been made for any special line of work. The general idea is to read books and plays that will entertain as well as add to the girls ’ appreciation of the best in literarature. All of the members of the club participate in the reading and dramatization of plays and some very good dramatic work is resulting from their efforts. In the beginning some of Kipling’s short stories were read and then the play, 1 1A Kiss for Cinderella ’ by Barrie. The girls display much interest and enthusiasm in their work and the club promises to be very successful. NEEDLE WORK CLUB Sponsors: Miss Scoular and Miss Tyler. The main purpose of this organization is to learn the making of novelties which are not included in the Course. Members of the Club are working on silk flowers, collar and cuff sets, linen and gingham handkerchiefs and other similar articles. Embroidering and fancy stitches are also included, and these are applied in making of children’s garments. THE VISITING CLUB The vicinity of Iron wood abounds in places of interest. The mines, lumber camps and some of the places of business are all accessible and are very much worth seeing. It was discovered that many of the boys who have grown up in the community know little of these places of interest. At Mr. Miller’s suggestion the Visiting Club was formed. The membership is limited to 15 boys. Mr. Holmberg has charge of all trips. He makes all arrange-ments that those in charge of the places visited can make preparation for the group s visit. The trips are very carefully planned ami include visits to power plants, the mines, lumber camps, newspaper plants and so forth. Under Mr. Holmberg’s leadership this is a valuable club. Page Eighty-Three .M E AA =VT The High School Glee Clubs Miss Mabel Palmer, who is the Musical Instructor of the Ironwood Public Schools, is in charge of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. At the beginning of the school year Miss Palmer tested the voices of all applicants for the glee clubs. Because the number of girls was so large, they were divided into two clubs, the Girls’ Chorus and the Girls’ Glee Club. The Chorus, which is made up of Freshmen and Sophomores to a large extent, has the greatest number of members. The Girls’ Glee Club contains most of the girls who were members of Mr. Watson's Musical Club last year, and a few others. The boys have only one club as they had last year. Miss Palmer deserves credit for the work she has done in organizing and training these glee clubs. Each club has at least one practise a week in the morning before nine o’clock. Both girls and boys have been regular in their attendance at practise even though it lias required them to get to school a little earlier than usual one morning each week. They have shown a lively interest in the work, and have done their best to make the clubs a success. The whole school realizes what a valuable asset the glee clubs are to the school. They furnish music at programs, and represent us at concerts outside of the school', and what is even more important, they give their members training which will be of great value to them. Thus while the school is indebted to the glee clubs, the glee clubs also owe much to the school and to Miss Palmer.

Page Eighty-Eight G AA NT IT G @ Society Notes It is with great pricle that we, the Senior Class of 1922, strive to boost and uphold the social functions of our dear old Alma Mater. As Freshmen even though we wore our “jackets of green,” we proved by our three parties for the year that we possessed remarkable efficiency in conducting such festivities. By the time we reached a moVe matured stage and the “green peeled off, we were incomparable. The Sophomore parties of our class were the best in the history of the I. H. S. Hush and behold! Did we not open tin eyes of the public, when we honored the Senior class of 1921 with such an elaborate Prom as we gave at the Elks' Hall? Why every muscle of those present vibrated when the opening chord was struck by Sam’s Jazz Orchestra. It was without doubt the event of the year. All of the parties which have been mentioned were certainly exceptionally good, but we cannot forget our “Junior Day” celebration- After presenting two plays, we spent the rest of the day in gayety. Having reached the dignified stage of Seniors, we do not spend as much time on planning dances for our class alone; but our desire is to gather as one group, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, and welcome them to our gay receptions. The first “all school party”, planned by the Seniors in honor of the “football boys made known our intentions in this matter. Of course we could not forget our earnest debaters. The first debate was followed by an “all school dance at the Central School. In this affair the Seniors took the responsibility upon their shoulders, offering to pay all expenses which might not la1 covered by the entrance fee. Although we are justly proud of our class parties, now that we are Seniors, we realize that the important social activities in any school are those activities in which every student may participate. Democratic principles are what we are striving for. There should be no little cliques organized to spoil the good times for the others. As you all know that the cliques in the government would be detrimental to tin I nion; in the same way you realize, cliques in high schools would prove detrimental to society. Members of the faculty as well as the students have noticed at the various school parties that the members of different classes do not mingle with each other and that the party is broken into distinct groups. Society means companionship. Ideal social functions in the school would be to have the whole school, including the faculty, unite as one group and work together in some form of common interest. This is the very thing that we, the class of 1922 are trying to develop and make strong in the Iron wood High School. We are looking to the students who will follow us to uphold our ideals after we have left the dear old school, and we know that we shall not be disappointed.

The Greeks were the first people known to have participated in any outdoor sports or gymnastics of any kind. Farther hack than history records, the people of Peloponnesus held contests of foot racing in honor of Zeus, on the plains of Olympia, in Elis. Gradually, the affair became one of national interest, celebrated by all the Hellenic states. About seven hundred seventy-six B. C. the Greeks began to keep a record of the winners of these festivals. In the course of time, boxing, wrestling, discus throwing, chariot racing, and other outdoor sports were added to the original foot race. These contests were held every fourth year; the winner was crowned with the sacred olive, by the king himself. Those who entered the contests were compelled to undergo strenuous physical exercises and be able to show a name free from civic or personal dishonor. Before the Romans entered these contests, the contestants had to be of pure Hellenic blood. To win a prize in one of these contests was putting the highest possible honor on one’s native city. Probably the most far reaching effects of these games were the inspirations given to sculptors. Their models were specimens of perfect youth, beauty, and physical fitness. Never before, or never will there be such stalwart, strong and beautiful youths as there were then. No country can compete with Greece in the physical fitness of her youths, and their ability to run, jump, throw the discus and spear, or any athletic exercise. . The Romans who learned almost everything from the Greeks also imitated them in their sports, though they were not so interested in them. After the Romans, Chivalry took up and carried on the tradition. The knights were always staging contests of skill between one another. In 1896 the finest athletes of the world, assembled at Athens in an effort to revive the ancient custom. It was a revival of the custom after a lapse of fifteen centuries when they were stopped by order of the Roman Emperor Theodosius. Since the modern revival many other meets have been held. One in Paris in 1900, one at Athens in 1906, one at London in 1908, and one at Stockholm in 1913. One was planned to be held at Berlin in 1916 but because of the outbreak of the war it was not held. The Latin people of the South in their zest for social activities left sports out ot their lives almost entirely. This was not so with the people of the North. England w-as left out ot sports for a short time only, for the Anglo-Saxon people are very fond of boxing and wrestling. . Cricket is the favorite game of England, though hockey is also a favorite. The United States has always been particularly fond of baseball and amateur football though our country has not induged in athletics as much as other nations. 1 lie schools ot today lead in promoting all athletic sports, in an effort to promote health and vigor and to instil into the characters of our youths the admirable qualities which good, clean athletics inspire. Page Ninety-Three (§ � M G AA AT IT E r 22) Jk Winter in northern Michigan By Anna Farney—Sophomore. “Oh, yes, I spent the winter in the South; I simply can’t stand northern winters; I just freeze at the mention of snow. ’ ’ How often one hears this statement, accompanied by a shiver. But, ten to one, this same cold-blooded person would no more freeze than any one else, if she ventured her poor pampered nose out of doors. Besides, has this same person ever stopped to think of the sports during the winter to compensate for the cold weather? This very same cold weather and icy wind give a zest to the spirit that no zephyr laden breeze ever could hope to give. Has this person ever felt the exhilarating rush of wind in her face as she sped down a snow packed hill on a crowded bob or toboggan? Has she ever gone skiing or snow-shoeing through the woods and smelled the inimitable scent of the pines and fir trees? Has she, if she is a student, ever felt the joy of waking up in the morning and looking out of the window to see nothing but snow, snow, snow? And of hearing father call from the stairs, “No school today, children. Go back to bed.” And the next day, when the storm has abated a little, has she ever made a snow fort, and had a snow battle until she is breathless, and then gone into a nice warm house and dried out to the tune of toasting nuts and popping popcorn before the open fire? Has she ever gone skimming over ice as smooth as glass until she has felt as though she could go on and on forever ? And then come home ami jumped into her little ol ’ trundle bed and gone off to the Land of Nod, to wake up in the morning as fresh as a daisy, ready for another day? Try it! The next time you are deciding where you’ll go for the winter, think twice before you say, “The South”. Try a northern winter! You won’t regret it! Page Ninety-Four Welcomes, Sweet Springtime 2 Lillian Pierson and Verona Eplett—Juniors What is spring? According to the poets it is the time when Nature’s alarm clock rings; the flowers all yawn, try to remember for what time the alarm was set and then decide to get up and find out; the time when the birds long for Home, Sweet Home, and buy a return ticket; the time when father dusts off the seed catalogs he received last Christmas and wonders if he should plant cucumbers or radishes in the back yard. One of these poets relates very touchingly how 11 daffy-down-dilly came up in the cold, through the brown mold, although the white snow lay in many a place,” and attributes this whole martyrdom to the fact that the daffy-down-dilly wanted to cheer up the world by her presence. Bah!—it’s a safe guess that she either had to get above surface or be drowned in her bed and undoubtedly anyone who lives in Iron wood will agree to the possibility of the latter. Imagine that it’s spring. There is enough mud for everyone afflicted with rheumatism (that means nine out of every ten) to take a daily mud bath, and enough water to irrigate the Sahara desert, for the snow drifts are melting. The dirty flood thus liberated either flows down the streets or stays in puddles where traffic is most frequent. You walk down the street, view the puddle with some dismay and after wondering whether you can leap across the small ocean decide that you can’t. Screwing up your courage you wade up to your ankles in the icy water. Having accomplished this you become bold and deliberately hunt up puddles to wade across,—not that they’re hard to find! In a few days you have a severe cold and the doctor advises you to stay indoors to avoid danger of contracting the “flu.” You can’t smell the fragrance “shed by wakening flowers.” In fact, you couldn’t smell anything short of burning sulphur. Finally, when everyone is in the hopes that the process of melting is over, the weather changes, we have another snow-storm and the process of melting begins all over again. The chances are ten to one that the second snowfall comes about at Easter. It’s then that you see the fair sex blossom out in their gossamer spring garments. Pride keeps them warm. It’s a blessing that the strong sex still wear their winter apparel, for their imagination is by no means as heated. Then a strange and disagreeable malady descends upon the earth; the school children seem to be most grievously affected,—barring the teachers, of course. The boys go to sleep in class and dream of lakes so full of fish that they (the fish) are forced to stand in a vertical position in the water to avoid encroaching upon another fish’s portion of breathing space. The girls wonder what style of sleeves would be most becoming on their new organdie dresses, while the teachers wonder if they should flunk the entire class or make allowances. They usually flunk the class; they relish it; in fact it gives a sort of unholy joy. That is spring as she is—a time of “flu”, spring fever, mud, water, and bad marks. When spring becomes a time that resembles in every way the earthly paradise the poets rave about then and not until then can we fling open our arms and shout, “WELCOME, SWEET SPRINGTIME!” Page Ninety-Five Th® 2D® toil®:? By Lois G. Lobb—Senior. A lazy spring breeze came through the open door of the fire escape. In the distance the range of hills was covered with greening forests. I was sick of school and wished to be loafing in the sunshine on the lake shore. Bored by the books before me, I gazed lackadaisically around me and my eye lit on a piece of folded pink paper near my seat. T salvaged it and, partly from curiosity, partly to determine the ownership, read it. Immortal shades of ten thousand first loves! Was there ever such a note before! “Sweety’ had seen her “Snookums” at the theatre and he had smiled. Did he mean what he said about loving her always, for she loved him so? Then came a half a page of saccharine crosses whose sentimental meaning was obvious. Having nothing better to do, I thought of the unknown who had penned this remarkable epistle and of the recipient. Here was youth, callow, callow youth, building a dream Camelot in a very prosaic school room. J wondered if ‘i Sweety ’s ’ ’ hair was “spun gold” or “raven locks” or “auburn tresses” to the boy whose adjectives were no doubt the choicest in Hearst ’s Sunday newspapers, surreptitiously read when parental eyes were averted. Was he her “Prince Charming” or “Launcelot”? Did he have long trousers yet? I doubted it. Did she have a vanity case? Be sure she had. I wondered how his collection of buttons, hairpins, scraps of paper, and so forth was progressing, and where she kept his picture so Mother wouldn’t find it. Oh blissful age! Oh moon struck age! when he has found the only girl in the world, and she the only hero. How do the still sane members of the family survive? From the time of the first eventful meeting, when their eyes were opened to the wonders of the universe, home was not the same. The youth with sublime indifference would deposit himself on the flower pots and upset his coffee, with a languid air, on the best tablecloth. Nor is the girl unaffected, and as for books—how can one study when a note has to be answered? Preposterous! Ever and anon comes the dance. That is a bit of paradise, and it’s ever so nice if Mother has some rouge that daughter can appropriate. Dad had better mount guard over his razor. At the dance in odd corners, where the music steals with soft seductive beat, they can dance together or, on darkened stairways, sit and talk or just sit. Will some second Socrates please tell us what two youngsters, who don’t know an adverb from a semicolon in their classes, can talk about for hours with all the interest a scientist would expend in locating a new solar system ? This marvel and many others equally strange are of frequent occurrence. The deluded ones reach a point of exaltation that makes a whirling dervish seem a stoic. Then comes a day when a look, a word, a gesture causes the terrible first quarrel. “Ye Gods! she’s false!” and a confirmed bachelor and man of the world sticks his hands in his pockets and seeks balm for his wounded feelings in the soft drink parlor. With a bleeding heart, the fair damsel searches out her dear girl confidante and swears tearfully to remain a spinster forever and ever. Each resolves to hide a badly broken heart from a cruel and dismal world. The bell rang, and with a subdued chuckle at my happy escape from the Deluder, I dropped the note, so pink, so naive, into a waste paper basket along with some physics computations, “Ilic Jacet.” Who was “Snookums” and his “Sweety”? I don’t know, never will know. So contagious is this juvenile disease, “puppy love,” that two-thirds of the school could qualify. One thing 1 ’d like to know. Did the loss of that note cause the first inevitable quarrel? Page Ninety-Six ALU E AA J T IT E rx@ 15)21 Alumni List i Emil Anderson Inah Anderson .... Ruby Anderson Lloyd Arthur .....

Page Ninety-Eight (Z M AT IT E tn(22) Then and Now w , Many years ago a man by the name of Wood was wandering through the forest primeval , when lie came upon a small mining settlement nestled among the rolling hills. As In was deeply interested in iron he settled here. Before long he had acquired the nickname of “Iron Wood”. The little village began to grow, and the busy inhabitants felt that they ought to have a name for their settlement. But alas! They could not decide upon one. After much debating they adopted the old man s nickname—“Ironwood,” and to this day, the settlement, now a large and prosperous city, is known by that name. As Ironwood grew, the citizens began to realize that their children must have an education. Accordingly in 188.’ , the School District was organized. A small two story building was erected on Vaughn Street, and late in March, before the building was quite completed, Miss Fitzsimmons, afterwards Mrs. 0. E. Karste, began to teach. Forty students enrolled, and as no regular text books were available, for a time they used any books they could borrow. During the summer of ’8(i, Ironwood grew very rapidly. When school was resumed, a principal and two teachers were hired. Mr. L. L. Wright became Superintendent, and the enrollment of the school was so large that it was found necessary to rent several rooms about town. The people saw that a new school must be built and plans were made for the old Central school. Some of the townspeople strenuously objected to the size and cost of the building planned, on the ground that there would not be enough students to occupy it. However in 1888 the old Central School was completed, and opened in September with a corps of six teachers. The lower floors were used by the grade students, and the upper one by the High School, a very different institution from ours of today. Every morning all the students met in the assembly room, where they were led in singing by “Professor Wright.” He believed that music was “good for the soul” and many a man or woman owes all he knows of good music to those morning choruses which everyone enjoyed whether he could sing or not. It was not long before the Hermean Literary Lyceum was organized to give the students opportunities of the kind Mr. Wright believed in so firmly. The first class to graduate was that of 1890. There were five members in the class, among them the late James A. Sullivan of Ironwood. The only member of this class now in Ironwood, is Mary Luxmore, now Mrs. George II. Carali. Ironwood continued to grow, and the school which the pessimists had despaired of filling in 1887 soon proved quite inadequate- In 1890, three new buildings were constructed—the Aurora, Newport and Ashland, and soon afterwards the first North Side School was erected. This was a frame building, and was later replaced by the brick building now in use. In 1900 the High School was built at a cost of $35,000. What is now the football field was donated to the High School by Mr. Longyear. The school, when finished, was considered the best in this part of the country, and with its beautifully cared for grounds was the pride of the whole community, and of Mr. Wright for whom it was named. In 1903 the front half of the Domestic Science was built. In 1908 an addition to it was made, and in the same year the Manual Training building was erected, with a thoroughly modern and complete equipment. In 1913 the old Central School was destroyed by fire, and in its place in 1914, another was built embodying all the latest ideas in modern school architecture. m Page Ninety-Nine e AA CVT ITE §) The A. Lanfear Norrie School was erected in 1917. An excellent building is now being constructed in the Newport Location. The well equipped gymnasium, which is being built in it, is one of the big features of the school. It is expected that, a new High School will be erected before long, for the High School which numbered less than a hundred in 1900, when it entered into its new quarters in the present building, lias far outgrown its present accommodations. From the' first class, which graduated in 1900, to the class which graduated in 1920 inclusive, 975 students have graduated from the High School, and an examination of the list shows that our graduates are to be found in almost every profession. Of the 940 now living, about 144 are at present teaching; 102 are now students in higher institutions; 115 are business men; 15 have become Doctors; 13 lawyers; 12 engineers; 13 trained nurses; 9 chemists; and 5 mining superintendents. Several of the alumni have made their mark in political life and will doubtless continue to advance. We also find that our graduates are well scattered about the country. They can be found from San Francisco to New York, and from Washington to Florida. A member of one of the earlier classes would find the High School very different from what it used to be. Instead of classes of eight or ten, he would see twenty-five or thirty, and would find the classes divided into many sections, instead of working together as in his day. He would find crowded halls and many teachers working in three buildings instead of one. lie would miss the old morning choruses in which all must join, and the lyceum programs which were the center of keenest interest and rivalry in the old days. lie would find, on the other hand, glee clubs and student organizations to take their places. But there are some things in the life of the students which have not changed. The loyalty to the school, and the spirit of good sportsmanship have remained the same, and always will. Under the efficient leadership of the athletic coaches, our football and basketball teams have made the “I’’ known and honored throughout the upper peninsula. Our representatives in debate, oratory and declamation have won honors for the school. One thing that has contributed largely to our success has been the loyal support of the alumni. In glancing over the pictures of former athletic teams, we cannot help but think of the good old days when our traditions were in the making. We realize the great debt we owe to them, and are glad to express our gratitude to them, and to the larger group of alumni who have helped us to develop the thing of which we are most proud—the Spirit of the Tronwood High School. Page One Hundred @ M G AA 5 T IT Gs- 22) features The Copra UMp By James C. Bean The long, sullen roll of the Pacific Ocean which is powerful during the calmest weather was smashing upon the hows of the trading ship, 44 Mercator1 as it plowed ahead under full speed, its tall masts denuded of their schooner sails. The usual billowy cloud of canvas would only have been an impediment on this day of leaden sea, yellow sky, and no wind. Black clouds were hanging around the horizon and fading gradually into the dull yellow’ of the burning sky which seemed to be one huge sun pouring its burden of fire pitilessly onto the unshaded deck. This portion of the sea was the area most often affected with the doldrums, and this dreaded curse to the navigators of wind-jammers was now holding absolute sway and, while not impeding the steam driven vessel, was certainly not aiding its progress. This w as unfortunate because speed was just what Captain Blake wished since there was a load of copra waiting at Yokokao beach on Royalist Island in the Caroline group for the first buyer. The Southern Consolidated Trading Company had been coaling their fastest vessel, apparently to go and capture the prize, at the time when the 4Mercator” had slipped from her moorings at Manao and stood out to sea with a stiff breeze blowing cool and fresh from Cape Horn. The breeze had died shortly, and the useless sails had been taken from the yards so that the steam power might accomplish the maximum speed. On the hot deck a few Kanaka seamen were working in the usual lazy manner. They were new at the work having been very hurriedly collected in the eagerness to get to sea. On the deck aft of the cabin, under a large white awning, lolled Captain Blake and the first mate, Norton, drinking some cooling drinks which were being supplied by the steward, a tall Tahitian. Too hot to speak or move more than to reach for the glasses on the table by their side, the two sat talking very little and that in low tones when the wireless operator, a slight young man dressed in white duck as the other two were, approached with a hot but smiling countenance. 44 Beg to report a message to you, sir,” he said addressing Captain Blake. 4‘Honolulu reports a storm from the north-east. ’ ’ Blake took a glass from the tall Tahitian and mused for a moment before he responded. 4 4 Prescott”, he ordered the operator, 4 4 order the helmsman to make as much northing as he can without delaying us. I’m too hot to figure it out.” Then as Prescott turned to go he called him back and ordered him to listen to all calls on a hundred meters. The tall Tahitian stood by listening to the orders unostentatiously, then moved off down the deck toward the galley with the glasses. An hour elapsed before either of the officers spoke; then it was Norton who observed very anxiously that the ship was swinging slowly south. After the two men had watched the course for a moment, there remained little doubt in the mind of either of them that the vessel was swinging slowly around into a general due wrest course in the direction of the Solomon group, but probably heading for some atoll of the Ellice group. The tall Tahitian now came aft without any burden. Following him came Prescott rather hurriedly who bent to whisper something into Blake’s ear. Blake rose suddenly with an exclamation of surprise. Ilis movement was arrested by the brawny arm of the Tahitian steward. Some more of the powerful Kanakas rushed up at the same time ami quickly secured the astonished white men. After binding their officers to the chairs, the sailors bustled about the ship collecting the trading trinkets and placing them in various boats. They left the naphtha launch in its davits since they did not know how to operate it. The anxious prisoners now’ noted that the course was taking them past the southern shore of Nuitao Island and straight toward Nanoniana Island or some atoll off its coast. Their observations were correct, for about an hour later the ship was anchored in twenty fathoms of water inside the ring of a tiny but inhabited atoll. Without the waves were rolling high and the wind had increased to almost hurricane strength. Page One Hundred One mtnimi @y l- G AA OVT IT G s x(22) The sailors deserted the vessel leaving the fires roaring in the boilers. Then to the horror stricken men lashed to their chairs beneath the awning on the aft deck it became only too evident that the boat was going down on an even keel. Norton immediately guessed the cause. The officers had expected that the mutineers would set them ashore and run off with the ship but they could not guess that the simple islanders would open the sea valves and send the ship and officers to the bottom in twenty fathoms of water. The terrified men worked frantically. Norton was the first to free himself and it was then but little trouble for him to cut the ropes which held the others. While the captain and wireless operator were freeing themselves of the rest of their bonds, Norton dashed down into the engine room which he found dry. The bulkheads were nearly breaking, however, but the mate was surprised to find that the water was not very high in any other compartments which fact he observed by peering through a few handily placed portholes. He set the pumps running and then ascended to the deck to tell the captain of his observations. All three descended into the hold which contained even less water than Norton had thought. The captain started to seek a cause. As he ran his hand along the side of the vessel seeking the sea valve, he touched the head of a fish protruding from the valve opening. Now he remembered: the water about the ship had been thick with the floating bodies of dead fish, resulting probably from the inroads of sharks. These had been sucked into the valves, closing them effectually. After pumping out the vessel, collecting the refractory crew by force of arms, and reloading the ship, Captain Blake wailed out of the quiet harbor onto a rough sea, and with a favoring wind due to one of those strange and inexplicable changes which occur so often in those parts of the sea, made good time to Royalist Island. Almost before the ship had cast anchor in the shallow water, the canoes of the natives swarmed alongside to the gunwales with copra, a wealth of copra. As Captain Blake smilingly watched the busy natives swarm across the deck stow-ing copra in the hold, he thought of the discomfiture of the Southern Consolidated ship upon finding its journey useless as it would a few hours later. Prescott once more approached from the wireless room. “Wireless from the Consolidated Company’s fast ship, sir.” 11 Well, want our cargo?” “No, sir, just to say that she weathered the storm.” “Anything else?” “Yes, sir, she’s bound for Yokohama.” Advegatiaafe Mischief By Marion Baur Hortense Rounseville had just graduated from a Chicago College, and was visiting her Aunt Louise at her home in Florida. The visit was Mrs. Williams’ graduation present to her niece, whom she had not seen for many years. Hortense was an orphan and had been living with her relatives since her mother’s death. But she loved her Aunt Louise best of all her relatives, and, indeed, it was only through her that Hortense had been able to go to college. Now that she had graduated, she intended to make her home with her Aunt for the next year, and teach history and mathematics in the little town of Lynn Haven, which nestled along a sandy bank of the St. Andrews Bay. The weather was very warm at this time of the year, but a cool gulf breeze helped to make it bearable. The people of the town planned many little excursions up the bay and the creeks extending from it. During the warmest part of the day the ladies were accustomed to sit on cool, shady verandas and read, it being too hot ,to do anything else. The children usually spent this part of the day in the bay, near a low cliff over which hung a spreading magnolia tree, rendering the water beneath cool and shady. Hortense, however, was always on the alert for excitement and adventure, but little did she dream that she would find it so soon. This morning as she tripped lightly down the steps, she caught her dainty French heel in the stair carpet, and fell headlong into Page One Hundred Two @ M E M AT ITE the arms of the ohl colored Mammy who served as maid, butler, cook, and laundry girl all in one. Hortense sprang to her feet laughing, and said, “Why, Mammy, I wouldn’t mind falling down stairs every day if I were sure of such a soft landing. ” Mammy hastened to explain why she had been found in the front part of the house at this hour, “You-all know, Miss Hortense, 1 sure ’nuf would a been through wif ma work long ’fore you-all ebber thought a gittin ’ up ebin, but Ah been a tryin ’ and a try in ’ to make some pesky gypsies git out a your aunt’s magnolia grove.” “Gypsies!” cried Hortense, “How exciting! I suppose they are going North. They are rather late this year I should say. I must go and see them at once.” “You-all betta wait till your Auntie go an’ shoo ’em ’way ’fore you go out. Them aint no sort for you ter be messin ’ up with. ’ ’ But before poor old mammy could finish her warning, Hortense was dashing down the path toward the grove. When she arrived, the sight of the Gypsy camp both thrilled and angered her. The hard packed ground which had been so carefully swept only the day before, was now littered with bright colored rags, which were a poor imitation of clothes, and papers, and scraps of food. The trees themselves, which had been so beautiful, their fragrance so sweet as to be almost sickening, were now-stripped of their beautiful white blossoms, which were on the ground already turned brown, and some of the lower branches were broken off. Angry w-ords rushed to the lips of Hortense, but she controlled her temper for awhile and politely ordered them to pack and move. The Gypsies, sensing trouble, tried to prevent it by offering to tell her fortune for only fifty cents, half the usual price. But Hortense refused. Then one old gypsy, noticing her college pin, offered to reveal her future for its possession. Hortense considered this an insult, and in her anger, threatened to call the police. They nowr had an audience of small boys who were on their way to the bay. Some w-ore sandals, and others, who were not so fortunate as to possess such a luxury, hopped along from one little bunch of wirey grass to another, in order to keep their feet from being blistered by the hot sand. When they reached the cool ground in the shady grove, they assembled about the gypsies; some standing, others sitting on the ground knocking the sand-spurs from their feet with little sticks. Suddenly Hortense fled from the grove, and ran to the house. In her anger she did not call her aunt and consult her, but telephoned the police and ordered them to send the gypsies aw?ay. When Mrs. Williams heard about this, she became frightened and told Hortense that gypsies had caused much trouble for people who had refused to let them use their land. But Hortense thought she had done right, and had no fear of the gypsies at all. Mrs. Williams and a fewr of her friends had planned an excursion up Bear Creek for the following day. It was the first of its kind that Hortense had ever attended. When the boat left the dock in the morning, everyone was happy and excited and anticipated a pleasant day. When the lunch baskets had been deposited on the stern of the boat, the younger set went up on deck to dance, and mothers and fathers went to the cabin to talk over the fruit crop and to wish for rain. When the little yacht, Marydale, left the bay and began its journey up the creek, Hortense left the others and sat down to watch in silent admiration the beautiful scenery, drawing in with every breath the cool smell of moss-grown banks, the palmetto plants, and the big cabbage palms. She wondered how anything could be so beautiful. In places she noticed black circles on the ground that told her campers or picnickers had stopped there. The farther the yacht went, the more enchanting the scenery became. Suddenly she saw a house in the distance, and was told by a frind that the place she saw was called the Alligator Farm. The boat would stop there for half an hour, so the passengers could land and look about. Hortense found the place more delightful than can be described in words. The farm was kept by an ohl couple who had spent their whole lives there raising alligators for northern vaudeville show’s. The house was so old it almost wasn t. Indeed, it wouldn’t be there in a few' more years. When Hortense had seen all the alligators, from the little ones a foot long, to the big monsters of ten and twelve feet, she went with her aunt to the little one-room museum, which was almost as dilapidated in appearance as the house itself. There they bought pictures of the alligators and the grounds. And then, as most northern people do, she took down the stuffed alligator and had her aunt take her picture as she held it in a most life-like pose. Page One Hundred Three @ M E AA CVTITEe- g) Then the boat whistle sounded, and all hurried on hoard, and were taken farther up the creek to the McAllister Homestead. The first object of interest which caught the roaming eyes of Ilortense, was a funny little platform built out over the creek. By its side grew a huge umbrella tree, which spread its drooping branches over the platform and formed a roof; a much better roof than could be made by the human hand, as it was many feet deep and allowed no stray sunbeam or rain drop to find its way through. On the platform two wooden tubs could be seen, and a queer little apparatus much like that used in the north to draw water from a well, was used to scoup up the creek water below the platform. On the other side of the platform stood a colored mammy battering clothes. This is the process the negroes used instead of rubbing. They placed the wet article on a stump, I suppose a stone would do, but seeing there are none in that part of the country, a tree stump is used, and pound it with a flat club until it appears white and clean. They soon came to the bridge where the road crosses the creek, and all the passengers disembarked. Ilortense and her aunt began to explore the place, beginning at the house, a large square structure which had once been white, but was no color at all now. They were asked by old Mrs. McAllister to enter at the back door, because the front steps were badly in need of repair. Ilortense was greatly surprised on entering the parlor, to find a huge old grand piano. The other rooms which they had come through on their way to the parlor had been very poorly furnished, as was the parlor itself, with the exception of the piano. On seeing her surprise, Mrs. McAllister explained to Ilortense that all the rooms had once l een luxuriously furnished, but their treasures were now robbed of them and sold to gain money to help keep up the place. On one side of the house was the most beautiful rose-bower that in Ilortense’s mind had ever existed. It was all of a hundred feet long and fifty feet wide, with many little cross sections, and was entirely covered with little pink roses. On the other side of the house was a mammoth grape arbor, stretching over acres and acres of land. The grapes hung in huge purple clusters, and were rotting in the sun because there was no one to pick them. The people were asked to take as many as possible home with them. The grapes had formerly been used to make wine from the marketing of which the McAllister family had made a comfortable living. But now the owner was very old and could not look after things properly. The few negroes he was able to keep on the farm could be made to do very little work. At one end of the grape arbor was a small building in which the wine had been made. It was now used as a store house, but was seldom visited, because the wine market had dwindled away to almost nothing. The little that was sold was usually bought by the excursionists; not always because they liked it, but because it was the only way of helping the McAllisters to keep the place from falling to ruin. The McAllisters were very proud old Southerners and refused all contributions which the people tried to make. Today, however, when the people came to the old man for the wine he said he was unable to supply it because some gypsies had broken into the store house only the night before and had taken all he had. But Ilortense and her aunt did not know the gypsies were in the neighborhood; neither did four small boys who had been reading “ Western Stories” all the week before, and needed only a bottle of wine to carry out a daring plan for the next day. They wandered casually away from their parents and met in the nearest part of the grape arbor. When they all arrived, they ran swiftly down the path to the storehouse. They had planned to find out first if anyone was in it selling wine. If there was, two of the boys were to engage the man in conversation at the front of the building, while the other two entered through a rear window and took the bottle of wine and departed. It would never be missed; and if it was the boys could not be blamed, because they were not even seen to go inside. But previous to this, Ilortense herself had left her Aunt Louise talking to the mother of one of the youngsters, and had wandered down to the strange little house. When the four boys came near the building, they heard loud cries from within. The drunken gypsies had seen Hortense and recognizing her as their enemy of the previous morning, had caught her and made a crazy plan to hold her for ransom. But in their drunkenness they had taken her in the storehouse and tied her there. -When the boys peeped in the window they saw her trying to get away from the mad gypsies. What should they do? If they ran back for help they would be questioned about being near the wine house in the first place; but if they remained still and did nothing, what would become ol Hortense? They decided to go for help and risk being punished. When some men finally arrived to free the terrified girl from the gypsies, she was just Page One Hundred Four @h l- G bA AT IT G (22) being led away to the gypsy camp. After her rescue, no one questioned the boys about being in the vicinity of the store house, but praised them for keeping their heads in an emergency. On the way home Ilortense kept thinking about the terrible gypsies, and enjoyed her freedom so much that she was voted the jolliest girl on the excursion. A ixa. Need By Gertrude Harden burgh “You na tell me dat,” shrieked the inflamed Italian. “ Dat man he once help me und Rosa. I no do nothinks like dat. ” The I. W. W. leader stared at the irate man in amazement. “But I thought you were the one who wanted to blow up the whole works.” “Blow ’em up, iss it? Yell, mebbe, but no hurta da president.” The two men were standing before an open pit iron ore mine. Far and wide stretched out before them the uneven barren land, the waste earth collected into great mounds like miniature hills bordering the great pit. As they talked, they advanced to the edge of the pit and looked down on the busy workers below. Before them the earth yawned in a great chasm, its red sides so varied in color as to suggest a rainbow with colors ranging from a yellow red on top, to a deep wine at the bottom. To their left two flights of stairs descended into the pit. At the l ottom of the opening they saw a net work of rails over which snorting engines puffed and spluttered at the call of the huge steam shovel. The steam shovel was working diligently, scooping up the valuable ore from the earth and depositing it in the cars to be carried away by the same complaining engines. Men ran hither and thither like busy ants looking after the work and pushing things as hard as they could. An extra shipment of ore had been asked for by the government to be delivered the seventh of June. Every available man was put to work in the pit. Some even loaded cars with their hand shovels. In spite of the favorable conditions in the iron ore industry brought about by the war, some I. W. W. ’s were trying to stir up trouble among the men. They were Bolshevists, mainly, who were rebelling and were doing so because they did not want the government to get the ore to build the ships it needed. They were quite contented with the chaotic state of affairs and would just as soon it stayed that way. A plan was now being perfected by which the railroad leading from the mine was to be destroyed, thus delaying the delivery of the ore and causing a great deal of trouble at the same time. That night several of the conspirators visited the homes of the workers to gain new members ami to be sure the old ones were ready for the deed. The houses were set back some distance from the pit. Like all company houses they were all built in exactly the same way, finished in the same color, and the only way a man knew his house from his neighbor’s was by a different kind of a gate, or fence, or chicken coop, or, if it had none of these distinguishing marks, the poor man would have to remember on which side of the street his house stood and the number of houses it was from a certain corner. The I. W. W.’s canvassed these carefully until they finally reached the last house on that particular roadway. This was the home of the Italian who had protested against harming the president. The conspirators had planned to blow up the offices of the mine at the same time the rails were being destroyed and thereby cause a double disaster. This last plan had brought the most strenuous objection for the Italian greeted the men absently. “What you want?” “We just came around to see whether you had gotten over your sudden liking for the president,” purred the smooth speaker, the leader of the group. “Are you going to join us tomorrow in the grand jubilee?” “No. I stay home. No good da plan. She no work. Neither bribes nor entreaties could get the faithful old man to change his mind. Finally the men left him quite disgusted with his stubborn will. Page One Hundred Five G AA ®VTIT G @ The next day dawned bright and clear. The miners resumed their work with sullen glances and angry words for the men directed them. The I. W. W. group were busily at work burying four large bombs beneath the bed of the railroad. They were carrying on these operations about three and a half miles outside the little mine location. The woods about them were quite dense though most of the trees were small second growth shrubs. Here and there a tall, knotty pine or spruce towered above the rest. The songs of wild birds might have filled their hearts had their minds been busy with a less murderous intent. When everything was ready, all the conspirators were aroused by a singing and yet rumbling sound which rang in the rails. It could not mean the approach of a train, for they had arranged to carry out their plans at a time when no trains would be going out. They drew back into the shelter of the woods ami awaited developments. At last two hand cars appeared over the little rise, both filled with men in plain working clothes. They rode beyond the biding places of the other men and disappeared around a sharp turn. The conspirators emerged and prepared to light the fuse on the bombs. As each man knelt with his back to the woods the mine police force which had come down on the hand cars, pounced upon the trouble makers and carried them off. Though they were given no satisfaction as to the person who had betrayed them, the I. W. W. leaders were sure it was the faithful Italian who had refused to join them. iiiiliiiniiniiuiiimiiHiiiuiiiiiiiiiii The WuM Ducks7 Flight By Lois G. Lobb The purple haze of Indian summer was in the air. The birches were studies in silver and gold; each maple was a flame of brightest scarlet. Goldenrod and asters glowed in the open spaces. Only the hemlocks whispered mournfully to each other, but the squirrels barked derision at their murmurings. In the autumn sunlight each ripple of the now smiling lake was dazzling sapphire as it lapped on the dull red rock. It was the moon of madness, of dreaming, and its spell was strong on Jack. Jack, the fiddler, outcast, waif, and fisherman, music the heart and soul of him. Jack may have had another name, but if so he never told it; neither did he tell where he had learned to bring such melody from his battered fiddle. He had come so naturally into the lives of the Camerons that they never questioned him as to who he was or where he came from. All they knew was that he was young, scarce more than a boy, ami good looking with dark sad eyes and black hair, and that he saw beauty in every thing from the old boathouse, with its reels of nets and home made boats, to the ancient logs, all moss covered and decaying, which lay in the hollows in the forest. I he Camerons, father and two, grown sons, were commercial fishermen and successful, though only a trail led to the railroad ami nearest settlement eight miles distant. They had welcomed the stranger who proved so pleasant a helper, and the mother felt that he helped to fill the place of the youngest son, who had been an unwilling tribute to the fury of the lake in its anger. She was worried about Jack now. The rich owner of much of the surrounding land was visiting his land on a camping trip with his daughter, and Jack had been engaged as a guide. Ruth Maur loved the woods and all that was of them. She liked also her father’s guide who could play so enchantingly on the violin. However she would have laughed at the idea of his caring for her. So she went on enjoying herself and unconsciously charming the sensitive young fisherman of Lake Superior. As for Jack, well it was the time of mystic sounds and gorgeous beauty in all nature. He gloried in the sunshine, for it showed gold lights in her liair. He loved the lake when at eventide it grew grey and still to remind him of her eyes. When dusk fell, he would get his violin out and play all manner of wailing music. He was busy most of the time however blazing trails, splitting wood, and attending to the hundred and one details of camp life. In spare moments he found the creeping ground pine to deck the camp ami made baskets and dippers of whitest birch bark. He Page One Hundred Six £ M ATITE r 22) brought in spicy cedar boughs and fragrant Norway pine, golden drops of spruce gum, waxy red dogberries, agates from the gravel pockets on the shore, all sorts of wild wood trophies. One day Ruth accompanied the men when they went for the catch. Old Cameron threw back a “sucker” that had been caught in the net, he looked at her and said, 4'Too bad! Often we get ’em in the nets, the wuthless uns. I sort of feel ter blame; they ain’t no good ter me, and sometimes they come out a’right an sometimes they are done for. Awful to hurt ’em an let ’em go to die hard. Lot like life, fishin’. ” The old man’s hidden warning went unnoticed. The last day of the Maurs’ stay came; Jack was disconsolate. He sat on the rocks by the side of the girl, his face a mask of tragedy. Far over head the first flock of wild ducks were seen heading for the distant southland. At length he broke the stillness, 1 ‘ Miss Maur, I, er a that is, I, when will I see you again? Can I come and see you sometime? I, I,—want to.” The hour was that of the Angelus and in the depths of the forests, where dusk had already fallen, a night bird’s cry announced the vesper hour. In the west, rose and opalescent tints replaced the flaming banners of the dying sun. The ducks were fast fading into the violet southern sky. Ruth looked at them; then at the lad at her side, and a fleeting thought of sorrow at parting came over her. 11 The ducks are gone now to the south where I will follow. When the wild ducks fly north, come to see me, will you?” she said. How eagerly he promised! The next day she left. The leaves faded and left bare the trees; the goldenrod died; the haze gave place to the stinging frost; winter set in. Soon even the fishing stopped. The white silence came. Jack cut wood and counted the days till spring. When the cold winter moonlight gleamed on dark pine and glittering gems of the snow, from the mysterious forest rose the mournful cry of the wolf, fraught with unutterable woe and the abysmal loneliness of the wild. Then from the snug little cabin would come the wail of the violin. There came a day when under the snowblanket a stir of life was felt. The ice bound shores grew restless. Jack watched the southern sky. Gradually the ice cakes broke and the nets were set. Sap flowed in the trees, buds began to burst and only in the dark aisles of the forest, where the sunlight w’as a stranger, were patches of snow to be seen. Then came a glorious day when the world was smiling at its own resurrection. In the clear blue sky appeared a wedge of flying forms, the first northern flight of the wild ducks. That day Jack packed his possessions. The next morning, as he was launching a boat to go over the bay many miles away to the town where he would catch a train for the south, the world of men and Ruth, Cameron spoke. “Hide a day more, laddie. The lake is like to scowl; she’s a cruel old lady an she’s taken sa much o’mine. I see the pines on the islands full thirty miles to the north. It’s tight to the land at that sign, my lad, if ye do no wish for ill. The morrow will soon be here. ’ ’ But he would not listen; so they said goodbye and watched the flash of his oars. The old man got his telescope to watch the retreating boat. The light boat was scarce a mile from shore, when, faster than racers speeding down the straight away to the wire, at the head of the wind came the thunderheads. In a moment the sky was overcast ami the lake heaving in black sullen fury. The watcher saw the small boat fight gallantly for a moment ami—then he saw it no more. The storm spent itself and passed on. The sun broke through the dark clouds lighting the green waves as they tossed restlessly. An upturned black hull floated on them and calm in the sunshine of the spring morning something else rode the turbulent waves. A look of peace was on the brow plastered with the wet hair. A sea gull circled in the vast blue dome above. Hut on the shore where the hemlocks sob, there are no young eyes watching for the wild ducks’ flight. T2ae Wooded 3Me By Clifford Setteri.und I had been given a two weeks’ vacation and I hastened to join my friend, George Patton, at Stag Lake, where he spent his off days. • The day was just closing when I emerged from the hardwood and cedar forest into the open. I found myself on the shore of the lake by which I was to spend my two Page One Hundred Seven G AA AT IT weeks of freedom. I was very tired, having walked eighteen rough miles through the forest with an eighty pound pack sack on my shoulders. In spite of this fact, I could not help but take pleasure in my delightful surroundings. Before me was a beautiful glassy lake all aglow with the reflection of the sunset and a low margin of evergreen forest. In the center of the lake was a small, well-wooded isle which made me think of Scott’s 1 Lady of the Lake.” The shoreline was covered with small shrubs and as 1 followed it, I suddenly came upon a snugly built cedar cabin with George standing in the door. He had a supper all cooked and 1 sat down to a good meal of lake trout, duck, bread, and strong coffee. After we had exchanged news and had discussed various other subjects, he said, “Well, do you think that you’re too tired to take a little row with me tonight?” “Nothing would suit me better. That takes exercise of the arms, and my arms aren’t tired.” So that evening we rowed idly about the beautiful lake and it was the most pleasant evening I had ever spent. The smell of cedar was strong and refreshing. More than once I caught dim glimpses of deer drinking, and once I saw one swimming. We passed close to the little island. It was covered with evergreen to the very water, and it seemed so still and dense that it made me think what mystery it concealed. The next day I was fishing quite close to the island when I noticed smoke rise from it. Of course that was nothing unusual. There were a lot of campers in the vicinity of Muskegon, and our camp was only five miles from that city. I spoke to George about what I had seen, but he said nothing. We were eating lunch when a rowboat suddenly came into view and a man jumped to the shore ami hauled his boat up. ‘ Ilaloo,9 ’ he greeted us. lie was a little man, carelessly dressed in a buckskin shirt and oversized trousers. Ilis eyes were black and twinkling, though sharp, and his hair was black also. “My name ees Jean Beauregard,” he said, “and I noticed the smoke from your fire. How long you stay?” 1 Two weeks.9 9 There was something strange about this man. All the while he talked, his small eyes moved swiftly about as if suspiciously. The talk drifted to news at Muskegon and also various topics of outdoor life in the Michigan woods. He talked very rapidly as though excited, and I noticed that he was afraid of something. He visited us for several days and we even went fishing together. One day we were on one of these fishing excursions when I proposed that we should haul the boat up on the island and rest, for it was very hot. He seemed startled and protested with the excuse that George would be waiting for us. When Beauregard left our camp in his row boat, he took a course directly to the left of the island until the island cut him from our view. I was beginning to have my suspicions and told them to George. He only smiled and said, “We will see.” That night we rowed out to the island. I heard the tinkling and a slight clank of tin, and I was certain. We pulled our boat up on the island and made our way through the thicket. We came suddenly upon a stone wall well guarded by trees, and suddenly broke into view of still in full swing with Jean Beauregard attending. He looked up when he heard us. George had his automatic out and covered him. Beauregard was badly frightened. George, who was a revenue officer of Muskegon, and had tracked the clever Frenchman, had sent for me to be of help if help should be needed. We destroyed the outfit and wearily but happily we marched our prey into Muskegon.

THE FOOTBALL GAME The football game was over and before the parlor grate A maiden and a fair haired youth were lingering rather late. They talked of punts and drop-kicks and thought it rather tame, Till Cupid put a nose-guard on and bunted in the game. Quoth he. It’s mighty funny if I can’t arrange a match”. So he lined the couple up and made them toe the scratch. The youth was getting nervous ’neath his strange and new-born bliss And he thought the scrimmage ought to end up with a kiss. He charged upon the center, He tackled left and right. And the way he held that chair for downs was simply out of sight. He made an osculation an amateur affair, But lost it on a fumble, instead it struck the air. And as he landed on her ear, he heard the maiden say “You’re penalized for holding, Jim, and also for offside play.” And then he tried another and this time succeeded fine; For he scored an easy touchdown on the crimson two-yard line. And as they sat there by the grate communing soul to soul The parlor door flew open and her father kicked the goal. Mr. Johnson recently become the father of twins.

Last fall, soccer was played to some extent by all as one of the physical training games. Football was indulged in a little but no attempt at organizing grade or section teams was made. However, several took advantage of the opportunity offered them to learn the rudiments of the game and thus be better equipped to earn positions on the squad when they reach the Senior high. Basketball, as has already been stated, was the one big sport in Central for the year 1921-1922. Every one in the seventh and eighth grades had the chance of playing with one of the sectional teams and, with very few exceptions, all took an eager part. A tourname it was conducted both in the seventh and eighth grades, eighteen teams lieing formed in each grade. Each team participated in eight games. A few of the games were lost by forfeits but nearly all were actually played, many of them being very exciting and an exceptionally good brand of basketball for beginners, as most of us were. In the eighth grade, team number 10 of section 0 proved to be the best and was awarded individual basketball fobs donated by II. M. Wick. They were also awarded the silver cup for the year 1922 and honored by having their team name engraved thereon. In the seventh grade, team number 14 of section 7 won the championship. Each member was given a sweater, donated by the Davis and Fehr Store. The Junior High School of Bessemer issued a challenge to the Central School for a game at the close of the session and a team was hastily selected from the various teams to represent Central against Bessemer. The game was played in the Norrie Lanfer Gym and although Bessemer was victorious, it was a close game from start to finish. On the whole, basketball had a very successful season and the results of the year’s efforts will be shown still more effectively within the next few years when the boys of the Junior High are “up there” putting the name of Ironwood High School a few inches highher in the athletic world. During the spring, Volley Ball has been quite popular. Also, an individual competitive track and field contest conducted along with the physical training work has met with much favor and proven very interesting to the boys. For the month of June, baseball is the sport scheduled to be played by all the boys in Central School. All in all, we feel as though we have been quite active along athletic lines. The boys, especially those athletically inclined, are grateful for the opportunities afforded them to play and receive training. It is right down in the Junior high that the athletes of Ironwood receive their training and are virtually “made” ami an even increased interest in the Junior high athletic achievements would l e very profitable to those who are looking for and expecting much from Ironwood High School in the years that are to come. Athletics What a successful season we have had in athletics this year! During September, October, and November, we enjoyed our gymnastics and games on the playground. December was welcomed by every Junior High School student because it came to open our basketball season for us. Teams were organized by sections and our new year was started with much enthusiasm. Our playrooms were in demand afternoon and evening. Once organized, a few weeks of practice put us in trim for our tournament. Twenty three games were played in the seventh grade and twenty-four in the eighth, a total of forty-seven games. Our final game was played when Section 8, winners of the seventh grade, met Section 6, winners of the eighth, for the girls’ championship. First honors were awarded Section 6 of the eighth grade with a score of 16 to 5. A spirit of good sportsmanship was felt throughout the entire season. We are now training for the track meet which will be held this June. Since our first attempt at the fifty yard dash it has been reported that even Mildred, Elizabeth, and Louise get to school on time. By June, we expect to have all those who are carrying a yellow card for excess weight participating in the knee raising contests. Page One Hundred Sixteen .

The membership of the Junior High Dramatic Club is composed of all students of Public Speaking in the Junior High School. At a meeting in November, the draft of the by-laws was accepted and adopted. An election of officers took place and the following students were elected: Clarence Noren—President Wilma Rusbolt—Vice-president Victor Mars—Secretary and Treasurer. At the spring election, Clarence Noren and Victor Mars were re-elected and Leona Kropid-lowski was elected Vice-president. Honorary membership was extended to all members of the faculty. Among the plays studied during the year are “Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil”, “The Birthday of the Infanta”. “The Enchanted Carden”. “The Little Pilgrim’s Progress”. “The Little Princess”, “Young Mr. Santa Claus , “Three Pills in the Bottle”. The Maker of Dreams , “The Florist Shop”, “Joint Owners in Spain”, and “The Magic Voice”.

From these, nine were chosen for the linal contest, which was held Thursday evening. April thirteenth in Central. In previous contests only two prizes have been awarded, but owing to the large number of students participating this year it was thought advisable to have a third prize. Mildred Bekola was the winner of the gold medal which entitled her to have her name engraved on the School’s Loving Cup: Wilma Rusbolt won the silver medal; Lila Silberg, the bronze.

The club is composed of twenty-five members. To show their ability as singers, the Glee Club went caroling and their listeners were very appreciative. The Glee Club also took part in the Christmas program and are now assisting the Girls’ Glee Club in producing the operetta called “Twilight Alley”. The following are the names of the members : Frank Bednar Thomas Clemens Milton Collick Mike Czenkner Rudolph Dahl Whitney Dixon Maurice Friedman Allan Hadwick Edmond Kropidlowski Aarre Lahti Gunnar Lorcnson Russell Xicholls William Xicholls W yna rd X ie u wenkamp Reino Oksa Reynold Oksa Reynold Rintala Gordon Scott El wood Sic wert Jack Speare Milton Swanson William Wick Arvil Williams iBlueMs’xils The purpose of this club is to cheer the unhappy, to help the needy and sick, to grow physically and mentally, and to have a good time. The officers of this organization are: Taimi Silberg..............Recorder Margaret Haggerson.......Treasurer The club consists of a number of interested girls who are always ready to do good. Recently the club made a quilt and donated it to charity. At Christmas time, instead of going caroling, the club members went to the county poorhouse and sang for the people there. They also meet and have candy pulls, plays, go out on hikes, and have picnics in the summer. The guardians of the group are Miss Lindsay and Miss Dohr.

One troop, consisting mostly of high school students, had already been formed under the leadership of John Best, but since this troop had reached its limit in numbers, it was thought advisable to organize another in order to give the younger boys an opportunity to cultivate some of the true American ideals of the Boy Scouts. Accordingly, a troop was started with L. W. Van Slyck as Scoutmaster, and the boys were soon meeting, each troop trying to outdo the other in learning the oath, laws, and knots required of every Tenderfoot Scout. The transfer of Mr. Van Slyck to the Norrie School left the boys without a leader, but, with the appointment of A. H. Trezilfe as Scoutmaster, the work of the organization wras continued. News of the interesting times the boys wrere having at their meetings soon spread around the school, and, as a result, the troop received many applications from boys desiring to join the group. Most of the boys, at the present time, have passed their first tests and have started work on the second class scout work. Page One Hundred Twenty-Two G AA AT IT 1L @ Weather conditions have prevented the boys from taking any extensive hikes during the winter. However, the boys of the troop are looking forward most eagerly to good hiking John Cavosie John Corsi Thomas Clemens William Drazgowski George Farley Benjamin Grenda Douglas Hunter Russell JLeksell Richard Luoma Rudolph Mraz weather when they will be able to get away from the drudgery of school life and spend their week-ends in the woods.

While Miss Dohr oft quotes music men; Miss Anderson, with henna hair. Sits reading in her comfy chair. Miss Clemens and her ’rithmetic. Aid knowledge with a bick’ry stick; Tho’ Miss Clement is stuck on Art, To each new beau, she gives her heart. Miss Jeffrey clothed in real tight gowns, Often tells of hills and towns; Miss Dunlop and her flats and sharps, Will some day play an angel's harp. Mr. Bowman, on dry history bent, To Orville Collick pays his rent; Our secretary, sweet Miss Cavosie, You know, somewhat resembles posies. Mr. Arnold has a darling dimple. Heed our words lest you think it simple; Miss Lindsay uses great big words. And hurls them forth in monstrous herds. Mr. Williams declares he was reared on a farm, And you should see his sinewy arms; Mr. Courtney is a handsome flirt, One really thinks him very pert. At rest period when the lines pass by, We do not dare to bat an eye. For Miss Mann is always at her station With her apt “Board of Education”. A person of might is our Miss Power, And yet her face is like a flower; Mr. Wiley has a high pitched voice. That it is not higher, he may rejoice. There’s still another with wondrous eyes And curly hair named Art Trezise; And now. dear people, you do know The teachers that we all love so. Mr. Trezise: “Don, when did George Wash- ington die?” Don. West: ‘T don’t know. I guess I was absent that day.” Betty Goudie: “How do these love triangles usually end?” Louis Hedlund: “Most of them turn into a wrecktangle.” John Pruzinsky: “I saw your picture.” Richard Schiavitte: “Where?” John: “On the sardine can. you poor fish!” George John: ‘‘What’s the matter? Can't you skate?” Birger Anderson: “I don’t know yet; I can’t stand up long enough to find out.” Mr. Courtney: “Allan, what was Washing- ton’s last address?” Allen Hadwick: ‘‘Heaven, sir!” Mr. Williams: “Who is that girl? I never saw her before that I remember of, and she smiled at me.” Miss Dunlop: “Oh, that’s nothing. The first time 1 saw you I laughed right out loud.” Mr. Bowman: “The snake I am speaking of is said to strike with mathematical precision.” Clarence Noren: “Mathematical precision! Then it must be an adder.” Cazimer: “I had a fight with a candle last night.” Valentine: “Who won?” Cazimer: “I did. I put it out with one blow.” Mildred Jones: (in theatre) “Mamma, when are the Indians coming?” Mother: “There are no Indians, dear.” Mildred: “Well, who scalped the men in the front row?” SCHOOL IDYL Ram it in—Cram it in; Children’s heads are hollow. Slam it in—jam it in: There is more to follow. Miss Geuder: “Joe, what do we take for energy?” Joe Arashim: “Turpentine, Mam.” Miss Clemens: “How would you punctuate this sentence, ‘Hark Do you hear the birds sing’.” Herman Ruditys: “I’d put a hatpin after hark and a button hook after sing.” Mr. Arnold: “When was Rome built?” Leonard Young: “At night. Mr. Arnold: “At night! How in the world did you get such an idea into your head?” Leonard: “Well, my pa said Rome wasn’t built in a day.” William Messinen: “If I stood on my head, the blood would rush to it. wouldn't it? Now, when 1 stand on my feet, why doesn’t it rush to my feet?” Wm. Katalinch: “ ’Cause they ain’t empty.” Miss Clement: “Who was Columbus?” Stanley Serbin: “Columbus was the gem of the ocean.” Miss Anderson: “How would you punctuate this sentence: Miss Gray a beautiful girl of seventeen walked down the street.” Glenn Shouldice: “I would certainly make a dash after Miss Gray.” Mr. Trezise, in History: “How tall was Lin- coln?” Student: “Six by four.” Meaning six feet— four inches. Lucile Kropidlowski: “Please, teacher, me little brother can’t come to school today, because he's sick from eating eggs.” Miss Jeffrey: “That’s too bad!” Lucile: “No ma’am, only one wuz.” Milton Swanson: “Mother, turn the hose on me, said little Milton, as his mother was dressing him in the morning. Mother: Why, Milton, what in the world do you mean?” cried his alarmed and loving parent. Milton: “Why, you’ve put my stockings on the wrong side out. WHICH WAS IT? .1. S. Courtney, who was giving a talk on the assembly platform was greatly irritated to find that the attention of his audience was directed to the antics of a stray cat. He demanded: “Is this a monologue or a catalogue? “Children,” said Miss Dohr, “Give me a word with an “1” in it.” There was thoughtful silence for a moment, then Wynard raised his hand. “Needle,” he cried, with a note of triumph in his voice. WITH APOLOGIES TO THE “DAILY GLOBE” Deaf Man: “What say, sour lemons?” Good Man: “No, No, Miss Clemens.” “What say? Shut the door?” “No, No, Look out for Miss Dohr.” “What say, that rose has a wonderful scent?” “I beg your pardon, you mean Miss Cle-- ment.” “What say? Like Miss Power?” “No, No, Have this flower.” Page One Hundred Twenty-Three FRIENDS OF ®br ilnnatttr A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed. ” By their loyal support our advertisers have helped to make the nineteen twenty-two Hematite a success.
