We entered eagerly into activities in our Freshman year. It was we who started Freshman Day. This was celebrated by a unique program, whose chief feature was a one act farce, “lei On Parle Francais”. Our social life was marked by three parties, one of which was in the form of a sleigh ride to Bessemer. Nor did our enthusiasm wane during our second year. Again, under the leadership of Miss Stonerock, we originated “Sophomore Day”, which was in turn celebrated by a Popular Song Review and a dance. Furthermore, we entered the Lyceum election and caused the Juniors and Seniors much anxiety. This year we had two parties, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The chief events of our Junior year were the Junior play, “Larry Hamilton, Pedagogue”, and the Junior prom, both decided successes. Indeed, we have heard it whispered that our prom excelled all others. We entered Declamatory and Oratorical contests with fairly good success, but our musical efforts won greater rewards. Our Freshman and Sophomore Glee Clubs made a decided “hit”, especially when we sang our good old standby, “The Owl and the Pussycat”. In our Junior and Senior years many of our number were represented in the Glee Clubs and Choruses led by Miss Palmer and Mr. Johnson. Then too, we have some representatives in the Holemo High School Orchestra. But in athletics, principally, we have proved ourselves superior. Our Sophomore boys’ Basket Ball team elicited Mr. Watson’s praise. Last year, and this year too, we have been instrumental in winning glory for the I. II. S. Our Junior girls’ team unfortunately did not have the same success. However, our male players erase our disgrace. Our scholarship records have been exceptionally good. Considering the size of our class, we have had the greatest number of persons on the honor roll ever since its existence. Yet we must not forget to mention our dramatic ability. Each year we have had a successful play. People from our class have taken part in Lyceum programs, and the Seniors are very well represented in the Dramatic (Tub. Our famous I. II. S. spirit has asserted itself more than ever in this, our Senior year. Although the smallest class in numbers, we always had the greatest number present at foot ball games and school activities. We boast the best salesman in the school as well as a group of efficient assistants. Our two parties have been well attended, and will furnish many happy memories for the days to come. In general, the four years we have spent here have been full of good times, hard work, and happiness, and it is with great regret that we look forward to next May, when we must forever depart. R. A. S. Page Thirty-Two CLASS WILL ftttmil All ffll'tl 8l| Elinip restate:That we, the Senior class of the Luther L. Wright School, in the county of Gogebic, and State of Michigan, being advanced in years, and in ill health, and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First: We hereby bequeath to the illustrious Juniors, our beloved “Three Centuries’’, and much thumbed Burkes, with the admonition to treasure them well; also our McLaughlin’s “Outside Readings in American History”. Second: To the Sophomores we bequeath our school spirit that it may help them in their year. Third: To the Freshmen we give our example, coupled with a three years’ supply of notebooks containing valuable hints of “How to Skip Classes”, “IIow to Get the Drop on Mr. Rufi”, etc. Fourth : Furthermore, Waldemar Wickman hereby very graciously bequeaths his dignity to Fred Suavely, on the condition that he use it. Pauline Slivinskv gives her makeup articles to Sigrid Heikkinen, so that she may he spared the cost of buying them. Dorothy Hopper gives her “sneeze” to Annabelle Miller to substitute for her monotonous “horse laugh”. Selden Crarv has kindly consented to give his shyness to his brother Edward, in the hope that he will profit by it. Charley West, at the express command of Mr. Collins, leaves his playfulness to whoever will accept it. Isabelle Johnson deigns to bequeath her surplus weight to Marian Best. Helen Lager (Mrs. Raymond Paynter) has consented to forward her much used book, “How to Get Married”, to all Junior girls who care to use it. Mary E. Curry bequeaths her various colored bandeaux to Ruth Banfield, to tie in her brains. William Johnson leaves his unused gum supply to Mr. Rufi to give to the city poor. William Cvengros leaves three inches of his height to Percy Pengelly. We leave to the faculty whatever money is left in our treasury to buy handkerchiefs to dry their tears, when we are gone. Fifth: We leave the New High School to each and every one of you. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand and caused the seal of the Senior class to be affixed. Done at the city of Ironwood, this nineteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-three. R. A. S. Tage Thirty-Three PRESIDENT ANDERSON VISITS IRONWOOD Class of 1923 Holds Reunion (Aug. 4, 1943.) President Anderson journeyed to Ironwood yesterday to attend the reunion of his elass, the class of 1923. This was held at the High School building, with Mrs. Ray Erickson, formerly Miss Mary E. Curry, presiding. President Anderson spoke on the “Value of American History”, and then excused himself to speed back to Washington again. Senator Bergquist, Chief Justice Wickman, and the famous fluent orator, Milton Carlson, were with him. The Reverend Robert Healv, who entered tin ministry when rejected by Miss Hemmingwav, led in prayer. This part of the program was followed by appropriate selections by the “Jazzy Jazzers”, led by Mr. Leslie Olson. The people of Ironwood will be glad to hear that Mr. Olson will soon wed Miss Esther Danielson, who recently divorced Mr. Gordon Prout. The Jazzy Jazzers boast five Ironwoodites in their number: Mr. Milford Tobin, violinist; Sigurd Ilolemo, the notorious clarinet wonder; Steve Cvengros, comb player; Miss Margaret Humphrey, drums; and Mi-. Olson. Raymond Peterson and Dwight Trezise, the famous lovesick twins, entertained the class with “Rock of Ages” and the “Baby Had the Honolulu Shivers”. Afterwards, Will Johnson, who eloped with Miss Louise Hummel last year and has been running a successful gum factory in Chicago ever since, talked on the advantage of gum, stopping every once in a while to chew vigorously. Jessie Stribley, the gifted soprano, entertained the audience with certain selections. Miss Stribley is known as Mrs. Wesley Mollard in private life. Mrs. Marmaduke, wife of Senator Marmaduke, who was known as Miss Ethel Niemi to her Ironwood friends, gave an interesting talk on the society of Washington, I). C., mentioning the fact that Miss Alice Chase and Miss Inez Olson have charge of an Old Maids’ Home. She also said that Mr. Melvin Carlson, the famous humorist, had visited her and her husband about a month ago. She was followed by Miss Emily Miekelson, the Senior English teacher, who gave an enlightening talk on the “Makers of Our Literature”. Miss Anna Jacobson and Miss Karlan Erickson danced a toe dance for the delighted spectators. At the completion of the program, Mrs. Erickson read notes of regret from certain members of the class. Miss Isabelle Johnson and Miss Alberta Tregembo are tight rope walkers in Barnum’s Nine Ring Circus and could not be present. The former Miss Pauline Slivinsky is obliged to remain in Mexico because of charges against her preferred by the Federal government, Charles West, head of the notorious boot logger band, wrote that if anyone would go to the Cary location and follow out his directions, he would come out and present them with a bottle—free! Unfortunately, President Anderson could not remain long enough to take advantage of this generous offer. Page Thirty-Four Many were surprised to see Stanley Fauhl. Since leaving school he has specialized in gymnastics, and he is now six feet, ten inches, in his stocking feet. Harry Ellis and Tom Ketola, who run the corner butcher shop, William Cvengros, the soda fountain jerker, and Clyde Blackwell, the St. .James’ Cook, who were scheduled for a quartette number, failed to appear; they were probably home watching the children. Mrs. Erickson commented on the remarkable achievements of Lloyd Johnson, who had just finished writing his American History which Superintendent Leonard Johnson will use in the High Schools. She highly praised Mr. Gretzinger, the comedian, who outshines the once famous Charlie Chaplin. In the course of her talk, a telegram arrived from Roy Stephens, who said that he had been arrested for speeding and confined to the county jail. Selden Crary was present with his wife and six children. It will be remembered that Selden eloped on Ids commencement night with a girl from Hurley. James Bowden, the section boss, and his sister Ruth, the ticket seller at the Rex, were also present. When all had spoken, Mrs. Erickson read the data she had secured about the absent: Ruth Trythall was a washerwoman; Vieno Makela was a scrubwoman at the Commercial Hotel; Lilies Grigg was a waitress at the Greek candy kitchen; Elizabeth Ivellett was in the insane asylum; Dorothy Hopper was the staunch defender of the “cause” in the South Sea Islands; Verona Eplett had married a widower with ten children; John Carli was a model at Marshall Field’s; Marescella Mueller was a nun at the Convent School; Anna Dahlin was enjoying a scholarship at Ann Arbor; Clyde Nicholls was district judge; Holland Nanoarrow was a coal teamster for Morgan Co.; Ruth Michaelson was a model for artists; Lawrence Lofberg was serving a ten year term at Sing Sing for house breaking; Doris Sandell was a seamstress; Celia Rosen was president of the Woman’s Club; Ada Holmgren is enjoying married life with the Reverend Paul Risley at Albion; Marine Anderson has been studying history at Madison ever since she left High School; Alice Nyman and Martha Ilakala were running a ranch in Montana; Nimie Pauni is isolated up in Iceland and skiis into the states every winter; Mildred Farley, doing penance for Charles West, is a missionary in India. Ruth Smith is a well known leader of the Bolsheviki in Russia. After lunch had been served, the meeting adjourned. Mrs. Erickson declares that there will be more of these events in the future because of the great success of this one. R. S. Editor’s Note. Page Thirty-Five VALEDICTORIAN The honor of being the Valedictorian of the Class of 1923 justly belongs to Ruth Smith, whose average for the three and a half years' work is 95.8. She has shown herself to be a most deserving student. Her thoroughness and dependability, combined with her courtesy and modesty, have made her justly popular with both students and teachers. The unusually high average she lias maintained is a clear indication of her exceptional merit as a student. SALUTATORIAN Waldemar Wickman won the honor of being Salutatorian. II is average for the entire course up to date is 1)4.4. Through his strong work as a student and his sterling qualities of leadership he has made a real contribution to the character of the school. TO THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL Of all the sail things in the world, And griefs the heavens send, There’s one that oft outweighs the rest,— The parting with a friend. A curious friend, the people say, Of bricks that cannot speak, A mouldy heap inanimate— Is such the friend you seek ? But I love all your wretchedness, Each aged, creaking stair; And though you’re old and feeble now, You once were young and fair. Each day since that glad one we met, Your counsel’s guided me, And I would have it even so When you ’re a memory. A memory that’s full of sweet And honest friendship true. O might I think that in return I’ve done one thing for you ? VERONA EPLETT. Pgge Thirty-Six I’age Thirty-Eight Page Thirty-Nine Page Forty Page Forty-One Page Forty-Two JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY, 73 An overwhelming number of Freshmen entered the High School in 1920. With lots of “pep” we entered various school activities. In the sale of Hematites, Basketball tickets and Christmas seals, we reached a high mark although we did not sell the most. As Freshmen, we gave several parties which were always well attended and very much enjoyed. In our Freshman year also, we had the distinction of presenting the first costume play, “The Twig of Thorn”, under the direction of Miss O’Connor and Miss Olson. There were several of our members also who partook in the Declamatory Contest. As Freshmen also, our boys went out strong for athletics. As Sophomores we showed our remarkable ability along many lines. A number of our students participated in dramatics, showing their great talent. A few of our boys figured among “the regulars” of both football and basketball teams. We also had quite a few members on the second team. That year our boys won first place in basketball in the inter-class contests, while our girls carried off second honors in the inter-class contests for girls. We gave several parties that year. This year we accepted the challenge of the Senior class to a game of football, at which we tied them with a score of six to six. On Junior day we presented the “Junior Review”, something entirely new and of our own invention. The material was compiled by members of the Junior class. We have already' given a Junior party, at which everyone had a good time. We expect to give many more in the near future. We have many members who have musical ability and who have joined the Junior orchestra and the High School orchestra, too. We have also had a great many students ’ names on the Honor Roll each month. During our school years we have greatly appreciated old I. H. S. and will continue to appreciate in the future all that it may have in store for us. Page Forty-Three JUNIOR CLASS ROLL Left to right.

We had two parties; the second was a greater success by far than the first, but we had fun at both of them. Although the Freshmen boys were bashful about dancing, a few brave ones started the ball rolling and have been socially inclined ever since. This year we started the year right by electing Edwin Johnson, president, Edward Crary, vice president, and Dorothy Miller, secretary-treasurer. Just after school began, in order to start some excitement, the Freshmen challenged us to a contest of wit. Sarcastic notices, coffins, etc., were posted on the bulletin board. This contest, which we won, led to a sack rush. Even though the freshmen turned out in larger numbers, we were easily the victors. Sophomore day was held in February and it was a great success as was the party that held in honor of the day. D. M.

H. S. Maybe we were a little confused when trying to find our way through crowded halls to our own rooms. We’ll admit we didn’t know everything, but even the “Sapient Sophs” must acknowledge that it didn’t take us long to learn the ropes. We showed our spirit by taking our defeat in the “sack rush” after a hard fought battle with the Sophs. A freshman girl sold more Red Cross seals than any one else in high school, and we boast a large Frosh honor roll, too. Freshman day with its play and the party, followed right in succession. We have reached one decision, however, that as upper classmen, we will not make the lives of next year’s freshmen miserable for them. We have the intention of being one of the best classes that will ever graduate from the Iron wood High School.

U( d the credit for the football team s success is clue to the excellent training of Coaches Black and Newcomb. Mr. Black has been the athletic instructor in the Ironwood High School for t nee tears. During this time, he has developed an almost unconquerable team. Mi. Newcomb, who became Mr. Black s assistant, at the beginning of this year, has proved an able helper. Mi.

H. S. Captain McKevitt was spectacular in every department of the game. Always keeping a level head, he figured out the opponent’s plays, worked on his own, and proved to be an important cog in the 1922 team. Steve has one more season with Ironwood, and the 1923 season will no doubt prove to be his best. steven McKevitt Page Fifty-Nine EDMUND PICKARD EDMUND PICKARD Capt. Elect, Tackle 1 ‘ Pick'' was a trustworthy lineman who could he counted upon to give all he had in every game. Although handicapped by an injured shoulder, he put up a brilliant game in every contest of the season. As a tribute to his football ability and fighting spirit, Pickard was chosen to lead the Red and White team in battle next fall. CLIFFORD ROWE Quarter “Clif” As president of the Ironwood Football Corporation, he displayed excellent field-generalship throughout the season. lie was accurate at calling signals and his plays were well worked out, and run at opportune times. (Ask Ashland). We are expecting Rowe to pilot the Red and White through a championship season next fall. CLIFFORD ROWE MILFORD TOBIN MILFORD TOBIN Guard This was Tobin’s first and last year on the team. He graduates this year to our sorrow. He was called the “Big Little Man ’ ’ of the line. Although outweighed 25 to 50 lbs. in every game our diminutive guard made his position one of the strong points in the Ironwood line. HARRY ELLIS Center Ellis is probably one of the best centers ever developed at I. II. S. He was an accurate passer and a hard hitter on offense and a veritable terror at smearing the opponents’ plays. With Harry’s graduation in June Ironwood loses the ‘ ‘ fightenest ’ ’ Center she has claimed 111 years. HARRY ELLIS I’age Sixty SELDEN CHARY Left End Playing his second and last year for I. H. S., Crary assumed a stellar role in every game. Cool, a sure tackier and a good diagnostician of the opponents’ plays few gains were made around his end. While with his uncanny ability at receiving forward passes he furnished many a thrill before the season ended. Crary’s will be a hard place to fill next year. PAUL RISLEY Guard A steady, hard-hitting man who could always be depended on to open a hole SELDEX CHARY f0r j,i8 This was Paul’s first and only year on the team, but he showed the ability displayed by veterans of many years. PAUL RISLEY ARVID JOHNSON Halfback Arvid was the cleverest man in the backfield at slipping through small openings. He was small of stature but shifty and fast which gave him a decided advantage over his slow moving opponents. A good man on defense and always advancing the ball on offense, Johnson is expected to show even a better brand of football next fall. DAVID ANDERSON Fullback ‘ ‘ Dubba ’ ’ was the ‘ ‘ steady wheel horse” of the team, being great both on the offensive and defensive. With his punting ability and powerful stride, he often netted long gains for his team. It is our loss when Anderson graduates ARVID JOHNSON in June. DAVID ANDERSON Page Sixty-One JOHN CARLI JOHN CARLI Halfback Carli was a valuable man to the 1922 team. He was a powerful back, hard to tackle. With his speed and ability as well as his hard hitting tackles, we should hear more of him from Notre Dame next year. HOLLAND NANCARROW Halfback Nancarrow’s small stature was the only factor which kept him from being a regular on the team. He is a good passer, hard line plunger, (as Calumet ROLLAND NANCARROW will tell you), and his speed often netted many long gains. GORDON NELSON Right End On the eve of his graduation, Nelson proved to be an all-round man on the gridiron, playing either guard, tackle, or end. At his regular position he was a terror to the opponents; and being a sure tackle, few men ever got around his end for a substantial gain. SIGURD HOLEMO Tackle Playing his only year for Ironwood, Holemo was going like a veteran at the end of the season. Big and powerful, and with plenty of fight, it will be the team’s loss when Sigurd graduates in the spring. GORDON NELSON SIGURD HOLEMO Page Sixty-Two Page Sixty-Three FOOTBALL SQUAD REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON Two weeks before school started in September, 1922, Coach Black issued a call for football candidates. About thirty men responded, although some were working and others enjoying vacations. When school started in September, about forty men were practicing in uniform, while many, who wished to go out' were kept back because of the shortage of equipment. Nine of the men from the previous season were on hand, with the result that there was a great rivalry for positions. The first game of the season was played as usual with the Alumni, and for the first time in seven years the high school squad won by a score of 12 to 7. Later the team, which was defeated but once during the season, won a notable victory over Ashland by a score of 6 to 0. The football season could be called a success because of this game alone, since it was the first time in eleven or twelve years that the High School squad has won a victory over their opponent, Ashland. The squad held Duluth Central to a tie of fi to 6. The biggest count of the season, 62 to 0, was made against Northland College, in a game in which Coach Black found it necessary to put in nearly the whole second team. Escorted by a large number of students, the members of the squad went to Bessemer where they defeated the county seaters by a score of 14 to 0. Calumet won the Upper Peninsula championship last year from Ironwood by “nip and tuck”, but this year they too were the victims of the I. II. S. squad by a score of 18 to 0. The important game of the season was with Menominee where the red and white lost by a score of 26 to 0. It was said by many persons who viewed this contest, that the Ironwood squad was far from being up to standard; but even admitting this to be the case, we feel that the football year of 1922 was successful in many respects. For the first time the football team was put on a “self-supporting” basis, with the aid of the principal, Mr. Rufi, and the Boys’ Patrol, which consisted of twenty-five boys. Everyone wishing to see the game was asked to pay and as a result the Athletic Association finished the season with enough money to buy more supplies after all debts were paid. Page Sixty-Four IDER5CN black TOWNS ON WOLEno C P ARY PICKARD rPKEVITT ROVE BASKETBALL TEAM Page Sixty-Six BASKETBALL REVIEW When Coach Black issued the call for basketball candidates in December, about twenty-five men answered. But in a short time, the fourteen best men had to be chosen because of the inconvenient place used for practice. It was impossible to obtain the armory, the first part of the season; so a bus was chartered to convey the squad to the Newport gym every day. Much time was lost in getting ready for practice. The squad played two games in this gym. Afterwards the games were again played and practice was again held in the armory. The Luther Wrighters started the season with a victory over Minocqua, but lost the next game with Northland College by the close score of 26 to 29. Ironwood again won a game from Wakefield, but lost the next game at Ashland by another close count of 25 to 27. The team then won five straight games. Out of these, Northland was beaten by a score of 52 to 16; Ashland, 29 to 22; Wakefield on her own floor, 20 to 13; Iron River, 39 to 2. In this last game the second squad took the place of the first string in the middle of the second half. Nevertheless, the Iron River quint w!as unable to score a field goal. The two fastest games of the season were played with Bessemer. The first game had two overtime periods, Ironwood finally winning by a count of 19 to 17. A little later Bessemer came to Ironwood and won by a score of 14 to 12. The team at all times played a first class brand of basketball and was always w represented.

Our first opponent was Sault Ste. Marie. The game was played on Friday. The first half closed with a tie of 10 to 10. At the end of this close, fast game the Luther Wrighters won by a 16 to 15 count. The next day or Saturday was a hard and strenuous one for the I. H. S. quint. The morning started a game with Iron Mountain, which team had defeated Menominee 9 to 7. Ironwood won by a final count of 16 to 2. Saturday afternoon the team played Negaunee, which had eliminated Calumet by a score of 19 to 7, and Marquette by a score of 23 to 3. The first half showed Ironwood in the lead by a count of 12 to 2. The final count was 18 to 6 in Ironwood’s favor. Thus the championship game of the Upper Peninsula was played between Ironwood and Escanaba Saturday night. Last year our quint defeated Escanaba by a count of 15 to 13 for third honors. 'The first half of the championship game this year ended in Escanaba’s favor by a 6 to 4 lead. In the second half Ironwood could not stand the gait arid lost by a final count of 19 to 6. This gave Ironwood second place at the tournament. Johnson, called the best forward at the tournament, sprained his ankle in the Negaunee game and was practically unable to play against Escanaba. McKevitt was chosen the honor athlete of the tournament because he was the best all around player. The team conducted itself in a gentlemanly way both on and off the floor. In every way it was a credit to Ironwood and to the school it represented. Page Sixty-Seven SKI TEAM CllAilY ----------- L=C0V13ALL 13Aa.(l£lMLL LiASliliALL HONOR ATHLETE Selden (Vary won the distinction of being named the third Luther L. Wright High School Honor athlete on account of his I. H. S. loyalty, team spirit, and athletic ability. Crary came from Marquette in the fall of 1921, and since then has been in many branches of school activities. He has been a member of the football, basketball, and baseball squads. He has been not only a “shining light” in athletics but also one of the highest of his class in scholarship. Crarv has stood for clean sportsmanship and has always been ready to give a helping hand to any team or student. The I. H.

The club was organized in November, 1921, under the sponsorship of Mr. Ben Craig, Dramatic Instructor in the High School. The charter members were: Caroline Treloar, Annabel Miller, Naomi Dear, Paul Risley, Thomas Davev, and Oscar Gustafson. Many new members have been , consists of the following people: Ruth Banfield Elizabeth Kellet Virginia Hemmingway Annabel! Miller Dorothy Miller Mary E. Curry So far the five plays, which the cessful. admitted to the club this year, which now Walter Netterblad John Kupecky Stanley Fauhl Tom Ketola Steve Cvengros Waldemar Wiekraan Robert Haggerson club has presented have been highly suc- Two one act plays were staged on December 21, 1922, one entitled, “Enter the Hero ’, and the other, an oriental pantomime, “The Shepherd in the Distance”. The next play, which was “The Country Cousin”, by Booth Tarkington, was presented at the Rialto Theater, on March 17. 1922. The cast of the fourth production consisted of Seniors only and was entitled “The Importance of Being Earnest”. 1 he mid-year play, Her Husband s V ife , was presented Monday evening, February 5, 1923, to a highly appreciative audience. The cast follows: Stuart Randolph ....................Tom Ketola Irene Randolph .....................Annabel Miller Richard Belden .....................Steve Cvengros Emily Ladew ........................Mary E. Curry I nde John .........................Waldemar Wickman ora ...............................Dorothy Miller The Club plans to produce Booth Tarkington s “The Ghost Story”, in the near future. All the work which this organization has undertaken so far, has met with great approval, and it is expected that it will always maintain the high standard it has thus gained. A. M. M. Page Seventy-Two Page Seventy-Three DRAMATIC CLUB THE HEY CLUB The Hi-Y Club lias had a very successful year under the able leadership of Waldemar Wickman, Club president, and Mr. Augustus, faculty advisor. The club was organized in nineteen twenty-one and has been going strong ever since. There are now about forty members in the Hi-Y Club. From the social standpoint the club richly deserves praise. It put on two parties, at which every one enjoyed himself. Card playing and dancing were the forms of amusement. The organization lias also helped in putting on other parties. The Club too, was engaged in other social activities during the year. The aim of the club is to promote scholarship, social activities and character. Character is promoted by campaigns which emphasize clean speech and clean habits. This work has not been carried on so extensively this year as it was in former years. Considering, however, all the things carried out this year, the club could most certainly call this the best year it has ever had. R. H. Page Seventy-Four Page Seventy-Five THE ASTONISHER High schools all over the country are more and more adopting college ways and manners. One of the greatest advances in our own school along this line is the starting of a school paper, a publication of unrivaled assistance in the moulding of school policies. The more temperate thoughts of the students find expression in its pages and it is the strongest power in making the students feel that the school is theirs. A school paper is a real loyalty factory, for every other activity is boosted on its way to success by the paper. That is why all the live wire schools the country over are starting school publications. Ironwood has never admitted inferiority to any school in this region and when W akefield, a much smaller school, tried a school paper it was time for action. It was up to, someone to start a paper, so the group that is the present Astonisher staff got permission to go ahead and see what they could do with a mimeographed paper. Their faith in the school was well worth while, for though the circulation has not reached the five hundred mark, the great majority of the student body have proved that they are for tin1 Astonisher strong. Every number shows some marked improvements over the last and with the staff gaining in experience all the time, Ironwood is due to show her rivals that any and all handicaps are just interesting byplay for her supporters. The Astonisher was put out to unite the school in support of all activities that go to make this a better and stronger school and to fill a truly urgent need for a school publication that would function all through the year. A school paper well worthy of the name of the Ironwood High School was the hope of those who started it. With each edition The Astonisher is proving that hope to be a splendid fact and the permanence of the paper is assured. V. II. Virginia Hemmingway, Editor; Mr. Sutherland.

Page Seventy-Six Page Seventy-Seven GLEE CLUB This year the musically inclined portion of the students has been under the direction of Miss Palmer and Mr. Johnson. Miss Palmer has charge of the Girls’ Glee Club and Girls’ Chorus. Mr. Johnson has charge of the Boys’ Glee Club and lias also organized a High School Orchestra. The membership of each club is limited to thirty or forty. At the tryouts the leaders were obliged to reject many applicants. There has not been much public singing by the clubs but both Girls' and Boys’ Glee Clubs are practicing almost daily on an operetta entitled, “The Nautical Knot”, to be presented some time in March. It is a not over-difficult piece of music, but it requires a great deal of hard work. There are probably a very few who take up Glee Club work for extra credit, but it is safe to say that the great majority belong to the Glee Clubs for the sheer joy of being gleeful. V.E. Page Seventy-Eight GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE GIRLS’ CHORUS Another of the Music organizations of the high school is the Girls’ Chorus, under the direction of Miss Palmer, supervisor of music. 1 his organization is made up largely of Freshmen and Sophomore girls. The membership depends largely upon the interest rather than the ability of the girls. This organization has only the two parts, alto and soprano. There are about fifty members in the club. This organization was first started by Miss Palmer in the fall of 1921. The girls immediately took such an interest, that they showed in public appearances their ability to please an audience with their music. The chorus did not attempt to put on a program last year, because the girls felt that they would rather wait and put on a finished piece of work. This year, however, under the direction of Miss Palmer, the girls are going to produce a Cantata, “The Swallow”. This will be put on in the Spring. The chorus has put in very little appearance before the public. This could not be avoided on account of the congested state of affairs in the high school. However, what is put on is carefully finished. The Chorus holds a forty minute rehearsal every week. The members of the Chorus receive a fourth of a credit for their work. The real reward, however, is the training they receive. B. Page Eighty THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys Glee Club has been a very active organization this year. At the beginning of the school year, Mr. A. E. Johnson, who was to lead the club, issued the call for boys who wished to join the glee club. Over forty boys responded. Quite a few of the boys had been members of the Glee Clubs in past years and many others were to be members for the first time. For the benefit of the new members, a try-out was held one night after school to determine what part in the singing each candidate was best fitted for. The hardest part of this try-out for Mr. Johnson was in convincing the little freshmen with high-pitched voices that they could not sing bass and also in convincing the senior with the deep bass voice that he would never be able to sing a tenor part. The first public appearance of the glee club was during football season when the boys appeared on several occasions before the assembled students and sang some real peppy school songs. They also demonstrated what a lot of noise a small group of students can make when they work in harmony with the Yellmaster in giving the High School yells. This was a little outside of the regular work of the glee club, but still it had the desired effect. About the first of October, the club held an election of officers. There were quite a large number of candidates and a spirited election ensued in which the following officers were elected for the year: Harry Ellis ...........................President Milford Tobin .........................Secretary Melville Wright .......................Vice President Gordon Jacquart .......................Librarian The boys have worked faithfully all year, and a great deal has been accom- plished. Practice has been held regularly two times a week, after school on Thursday from 4:15 to 5:30 P. M. and on Friday mornings from 8:20 until 9:00 A. M. The boys’ glee club has worked together with the girls’ glee club under Miss Palmer in preparing “A Nautical Knot”, an operetta in which both the boys and girls are to take part. The boys are unanimous in expressing the opinion that too much credit cannot be given Mr. Johnson for his untiring efforts to make the boys' glee club a success. The boys’ glee club has also been fortunate in having as accompanists Anna Farney and Annabel Miller who have also willingly done their share in making the boys’ glee club a success. E. J. Page Eighty-Two BOYS’ GLEE CLUB HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Last fall a notice was sent around school asking for volunteers for a high school orchestra. Students who were able to play an instrument showed their loyalty and responded to the call. Thus the first successful orchestra of the L. L. Wright high school ivas formed and organized. The orchestra has been practising every Friday afternoon after school, and some time this Spring it will render an “Operetta”. A series of programs have been arranged and are to be given during the spring. Much credit is due to Mr. Johnson, who is leader of the orchestra as well as of the Bovs’ Glee Club. A. E. JOHNSON cess.

Walter Xetterblad Page Eighty-Four Page Eighty-Five THE HIGH SCHOOL PATROL The athletic season of 1921 was in many ways one of the most successful the school had ever experienced. Our football team had met and defeated such teams as Menominee, Duluth Central, Bessemer and Iron River, losing the Upper Peninsula championship to Calumet by a 19 to 13 score. Out of 18 games placed, oui basketball team had won 14. At the I pper Peninsula tournament, with eleven strong teams represented, our team won third place. Prom a financial viewpoint, however, the season was far from successful. At the end of the year the Athletic Association was confronted with a $520 deficit. At the beginning of this year, it was determined that the Athletic Association must be put on a self-supporting basis. The problem of collecting admissions on our open football field has been a very serious one. Different methods have been attempted at various times. Extra police and hired guards were used without success. When other means had been exhausted, the boys of the school decided to take the matter into their own hands. A call for a High School Patrol met with an enthusiastic response. Membership in the Patrol was limited to 27. Under the direction of Waldemar Wickman, who had been elected captain, the High School Patrol had charge of all the games on the local field. They sold tickets, they kept the field clear, and in many other ways helped to make the interschool contests run smoothly. During the football season this organization of boys, acting without the aid of police, collected more than a thousand dollars from spectators at our games. This made it possible to pay all equipment bills immediately after the close of the season, leaving a sum for the purchase of basketball equipment. The work of the Boys’ Patrol was characterized by faithful, efficient service. Its members have gained a new conception of the meaning of loyalty and service to their school. Due to their efficient work, the High School Athletic Association is, for the first time in its history, on a self-supporting basis. J. R. Page Eighty-Six IRONWOOD HIGH SCHOOL HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society of the Iron wood High School was organized in March, 1922. The objects of the organization as set forth in its constitution are “to cieate an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire for service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of the Luther L. right High School . Membership is limited to Seniors and not more than fifteen percent of each Senior Class may be so honored. In order to be eligible to election, students must stand in the first fourth of their respective classes. Final selection from this upper quartile shall then be made on a basis of leadership, service and character. Organizations similar to the Honor Society are now found in more than one hundred high schools throughout the country. They represent an organized attempt to recognize scholarship, leadership, character' and service as cardinal virtues. J. R. Members Elected From Class of 1922 James Bean Lois G. Lobb Eric Mattila Phillip May Thomas Davey Linea Ericson Roscelia Grigg Gunnar Peterson Caroline Treloar Gertrude Hardenburgh Ruth Heathcock Members Elected From Class of 1923 Clyde Blackwell Selden Crary Mary Elizabeth Curry Harry Ellis Verona Eplett Frances Nezworski Ximie Pauni Ruth Smith Waldemar Wickman Page Eighty-Eight ORATORY AND DECLAMATION J lie 1922 Oratorical and Declamatory Contest was very promising. A large number of students entered, and much interest was shown. The Contest proved that oratory and declamation are growing in interest, especially for students who have no ability in athletics or other activities. The Contest was held before the school on March 21. The Declamatory Contest was in two sections, the humorous and the dramatic. Of those entered in the dramatic section, Anabel Miller was chosen as the best. She gave “The Fleet Goes By”. Frances Hedlund won second place with “ Strongheart'’. In the humorous divisions, Naomi Dear was given first place for her presentation of a selection from “Rip Van Winkle”. A sophomore, Della Sobolewski, took second with “The Modern Game”. Among the boys, Everett Kronlund took first honors with the delivery of “National Apostasy . Thomas Davey, who gave “The Message to Garcia”, was given second place. But the splendid work done at home only begau a series of greater accomplishments for the Lronwood High School. The Misses Miller and Dear represented Ironwood at Bessemer at the County Contest in such a fashion that they took first honors. At a district contest held at Ashland, Everett Kronlund again distinguished himself, being chosen the best orator. Miss Miller did not succeed in winning a place. V hen Kronlund went to Mellen to compete, however, he was defeated, and Ironwood was out of the race for higher honors. C. W. Page Ninety SOCIETY In our Freshman year we were not “socially inclined'Because we led in the sale of Christmas seals, we won an extra party, but chose to make it a sleighride instead. Everyone who went remembers how clear and frosty the night was and how good were the hot coffee and cream puffs that we trot at Torell’s. When we were Sophomores, we enjoyed only the three parties allotted to each class; at these, however, we remarked that several of our boys were liecoming skillful steppers. Of course the greatest social function in high school life is the Junior Prom. Our prom was declared by many to be one of the most successful ever given by a junior class. It was held at the Armory. Our committee showed true artistic taste in decorating the place in the soft colors of orchid, green, and yellow. The music floating out and filling every corner, the dainty decorations and the girls’ many colored party frocks, made the old hall seem like an enchanted fairyland. In one corner of the room, several Central School girls were serving deliciously cool punch. One of the attractions was the spotlight, operated at one corner of the room. At times, all the other lights except this one were put out, and as it wandered among the swaying dancers, the light showed in colors of red, green, and purple. When the evening was half spent, Mary Elizabeth Curry danced alone in the center of the floor and as she skipped to and fro and from side to side, the changing colors of the light followed in her footsteps. The party broke up all too soon and everyone went home, realizing that pleasure must end, hut with the consolation that we may always keep the memory of happy times. All-school parties have become more popular this year. In the few such parties of last year, it was evident that members of one class did not intermingle with members of other classes. This was especially true of the Freshmen who were rather timid in the presence of the accomplished, grown-up Seniors. We have tried this year to overcome the difficulty and believe we have partially succeeded. The Hi-Y Club gives most of these parties. The boys make themselves responsible for the conduct of those who attend and try to see that everyone enjoys himself. They are often assisted by girls acting as hostesses. In this way we hope to get rid of “party-feeling” and class-distinction at our school parties. V. E.

The words which he uttered over half a century ago are as true now as then, and should be an inspiration to all Americans. “PROPERTY is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Any seeker for leadership, either industrial or political, now or in the future, must be guided by this truth.
