G AA =VT IT E«rv@ History —= GEagg ©2 S.9HI2 We Seniors arrived at the T. 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.
