Of course you do, and not one of you will ever forget that memorable day in September, 1920, when we trooped trembling but determined into the high school building. We were freshmen. After having our front seats assigned to us, we settled down to work. We were green, we admit it, but what freshman is not green when first he enters upon his high school adventures? For a short time we had to bear the “slings and arrows” of our worthy upper classmen, but by the time one month had passed, we were well acquainted with the workings of the school machinery. As freshmen we showed our calibre in a number of different ways. When the declamatory and oratorical contest was held, one of our number took second place. In athletics our class was also represented, two members making the football team the first year. Our class was not backward socially, for in our first year we held a number of parties which were all well attended. It was also in our first year that we gave a play, “The Twig of Thorn” as a part of the Christmas program. At the end of our first year, Mr. Watson left the school and Mr. Rufi took his place. We bewailed the departure of Mr. Watson and hailed the coming of Mr. Rufi. Our sophomore year was as eventful as our freshman year. We maintained our position in dramatics, athletics, and in social functions. It was during this year that Annabel Miller took first place in the declamatory contest; also, Steve McKevitt was chosen captain of the football team. By the time our sophomore year had ended, we were no longer frightened by the superiority of the seniors, but felt that we would soon become dignified also. Our third year in high school was our most carefree. We were not overcome by timidity as are the freshmen and sophomores, nor were we loaded down with cares as were our senior friends. We were the juniors so “flighty”. We continued to live up to the reputation which we had established in athletics, dramatics and, for that matter, in every form of high school activities. During our junior year we gave a novel program consisting of a review in which we showed why the junior class was the best class in the school. In the way of social functions we gave a very successful Junior Prom, in addition to which we enjoyed a number of all-school entertainments and class parties. Then we became seniors, but much to our grief we missed the dignity we had always associated with that class. We concluded that being a senior wasn’t all dignity but a great deal of work also. During our fourth year in high school our football team was the champion high school squad of the Upper Peninsula. Our basketball team also made a fine record, taking second place at the Marquette tournament. In these successes the class of 1924 has had an important part. It was also during our fourth year in high school that we undertook to issue a school paper, the “What’s What”. The paper came out every two weeks and was under the sponsorship of the senior class. It does not seem possible that four years have passed since we first began our high school career. Those four years have scurried by almost without our knowing it and we are astonished to find ourselves almost ready for graduation. We made mistakes, but we have hopes that we have profited by the lessons which those mistakes have taught us. We are leaving the Luther L. Wright High School for the school of life, but we cannot feel wholly unprepared for the tasks which await us. Our high school life has been our little world full of joys and troubles. We leave it with a good will, with fond memories and cherished recollections. E. E. Page Thirty-Nine CLASS WILL Kttnut All fHrn illy U-hfiif JJrPHrtttS: t]That we, the senior class of the Luther Ij. Wright High School, in the County of Gogebic, and State of Michigan, being more or less advanced in years and in ill-health, and of more or less sound mind—mostly less—; do make, ordain, publish, establish, maintain, declare, constitute and announce this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time or times, heretofore made, ordained, published, etc. FIRSTLY: We give, devise and bequeath to the aspiring and perspiring juniors our state of mind the night before outside readings are due for American History, and the wads of gum we so hastily ducked under the desks in Miss Jean’s room. SECONDLY: To the sophomores we bequeath our wary sense of hearing groomed by listening cautiously for Mr. Rufi’s tread upon the stairs. THIRDLY: To the freshmen we bequeath our much sought for booklet on “Bluffing One’s Way Through Glass’’ which they will find in Miss Larson’s desk. FURTHERMORE: The athletic teams bequeath graciously to the coming heroes their elaborately equipped gymnasium and training quarters on the fourth floor. Frank Walli bequeaths his dignity to Myron Sauer. May he use it to advantage. “Toots” Kolinen bequeaths to Erwood Slade his box of agony, much to the delight of his neighbors. Cliff Rowe bequeaths to the school board a pair of crutches which he used while suffering from an injury to the thumb. The “What’s What” staff bequeaths to its successor the task of collecting the nickels which the students have such a clever way of forgetting. To those who would go through high school without serious injury we bequeath the following four “don’ts”: 1. Don’t carve your full name into the top of the desks. Initials not only look better, but there are other students who will want to leave their trade marks. 2. Don’t bum more than four classes a day and when you are finally apprehended, don’t appear indignant because you are asked to make up the work you’ve missed. 3. Don’t boil over and raise a rough house when you get an “A” instead of the “S” which you know you really deserved. Of course the teachers are dumbells, but don’t be too hard on them. They might live it down. 4. Don’t put your gum in the inkwells! The back of your neighbor’s seat is a convenient place and it isn't your coat that has to be cleaned; so you should worry. LASTLY: To those of more patient disposition we bequeath the vision of an illustrious new high school. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our mit and caused the seal of the senior class to be affixed. Done at the City of Ironwood this second day of April in the year of our Lord 1924 B. C. (Before Christmas). Page Forty C. E. In behalf of the seniors CLASS PROPHECY I sat up with a start. What was that noise I heard! As I looked about me, I could see nothing that might have caused me to awaken. I turned over to go to sleep again and there by my bedside was a Ford roadster and in it was a little elf-like man sitting behind the steering wheel. With a consumptive cough the little engine began to run. In less than a minute and by some unexplainable means I was sitting beside the driver, and the Ford was moving through a large and dark tunnel. When we came to a huge brick wall at the end of this tunnel, I feared that we were due for a crash, but the car seemed to float through it, and in no time we were in a large hall with a mass of people before us. It was a banquet layout and the people were arranged along a table of goodly length. Suddenly it dawned upon me that I was looking at old faces and friends. Here before me was the class I had graduated with back in 1924. My first impulse was to rush out and greet them, but considering that I was still clad in pajamas, 1 refrained. It was apparent that we were invisible to the banqueteers, although we could hear and see them plainly. It did not take me long to conclude that the feasting was over and that speeches and toasts were in order. The toastmaster, whom I recognized as Melville Wright or rather “Stub” in society circles, rose and called upon the person seated to his left. I recognized him as being no other than Fred Suavely although his hair had rusted completely off his head, and he wore a heavy black mustache. “While massaging his saxophone one evening, he suddenly caught up the merry tune of the tea kettle, and at present is turning out jazz music by the kettle full, so to speak,” my guide explained. The next speaker was announced as the Reverend Arvid Johnson, and my attendant informed me that he had followed up the line of work which he had pursued in his childhood. Little Florence Kroppe, who was called upon next, was forced because of her shortness to stand upon a chair and at that scarcely cleared the table top. Claude Larson, who had aspired to become a model for a collar company was now down at the other extreme, and instead was posing for sock ads, I was informed. It was announced that Mrs. P. Pengelly, formerly Miss Linnea Johnson, would be unable to attend the reunion as her husband, who had been employed as a weight lifter in a traveling circus, was suffering from an injury to his left foot upon which he had dropt a 2 ton weight. Edwin Johnson responded to a call from ‘ ‘ Stub ’ and to my astonishment, I saw that his hair and beard were unkempt and hanging in long locks. “Yes, Ed has alius been quite a thinker. Well, he’s a Bolshevist now because he figures it saves him $42.50 a year on haircuts and shaves. Yell, Ed alius could think.” And from then on, my attendant kept up a steady flow of talk giving me a few hints as to the occupation of each speaker. “There’s Ed Zigoski. No, he left the clothing business, married a little school ma’am, to put it in his own words, and at present is working on a machine by which he can put his “hot air” to use, and if he’s as well supplied now as he was in the classroom, back in ’24, he sure ought to make things hot. “Look at Lydia Kambe and Robert Haggerson. They went on the stage together playing the parts of Romeo and Juliet. No, they weren’t very successful in that line, but it gave them a start. They ’re running a fruit store now on what the audience donated them after their first appearance. “No, that isn’t Rudolph Valentino; that’s Steve Sisko. He’s acting opposite Esther Anderson in a Metro Production at which Rudy failed. Just see the girls smile at him. “By the look of anguish on “Stub’s” face as that Eplett girl stands before him, I wouldn’t blame him one bit if he were to heave that leg of lamb in her direction with the intent to do great bodily harm. After he spent $4.67 for car-fare for her, she ups and marries that Pearse boy, who crowded “Stub” out with his Maxwell man-killer. Page Forty-One “Lillie Anderson and Sigrid Hakala, who have always aspired to be the heroines of the song “Running Wild”, are now teaching in the country. “John Kupecky, after failing to make a hit in the movies, is now a revivalist in the peaceful country side, and from all reports he is getting along nicely with his wife, who was formerly the Miss Florence Reid. “Everett Lofberg, after developing the asthma from staying home to listen to the radio, is now taking mud baths at Mud Creek. “Walter Netterblad is the Checker Champion of the Upper Peninsula. Needless to say he is a member of the Ironwood Fire Department. “Delaine DeRubies, with her accompanist Elizabeth Holemo, is now with the Flora De Voss Company. “Annabel Miller, after parting tragically from Art, is now clerking at the ten cent store. ‘ ‘ William Carlson is managing the new publication ‘ ‘ What’s This ’ ’, and it is said the Daily Globe will have to get another comic strip in order to keep up its sales. “Alphonse West is now in Congress. Luther Hill always said that sooner or later Alphonse would stray from the straight and narrow path. “Adley Morin, who, in her school days, went into hysterics at the sight of a mouse, is now a lion tamer in the Spark’s Circus. “Arthur Medlyn is playing third base for the White Sox, and who knows but what he might be playing either first or second had he played in the high school orchestra. “Edwin Lindberg, who has always desired to travel and “see the world” is doing so now—one shovel full at a time. He’s working in the Pabst mine. “You may be surprised to learn that Clifford Rowe is still in the hospital recovering from an injury to liis thumb. “Arne Kujanson who was a very jovial and talkative fellow in his high school days is now a comedian. “Sylvia Holmlund is still standing up for women’s rights, all because of a lecture in Mr. Watkins’ sociology class.” The speaking came to an end, and after the table had been cleared, a troupe of chorus girls did the light fantastic before the banqueteers. Needless to say, Miss Mildred Fredrickson and Miss Anna Farney were among the number. Following this came an eccentric dance by the Saima twins (Lehti and Johnson). This last did not surprise me, for what better can be expected of people who live as frivolous lives as they did in childhood? This number evidently marked the end of the banquet, and I turned to my companion to see what his course would be. I noticed an evil glint in his eye, and as I looked back at the banquet table again, T was aware that we were no longer invisible, and that we were the center of attraction. I begged my guardian to drive us away, but before I knew what had happened, he had shoved me, pajama clad, out of the ear, and I landed with a thud upon the floor—beside my bed. The banquet hall had vanished, but I still had visions of the class of 1924 as they will appear in 1945. C. E. Page Forty-Two VALEDICTORIAN Class of 1924 For four years RUTHB PL BANFIELD lias consistently led her class and the school in quality of scholarship. Her average for the entire period is 98. In addition, she has taken part in many school activities, abundantly proving that a pupil can do work of high quality and still contribute to the activities of the school. During her last two years she has been very active in student affairs. She has served as chairman of the Hostess Committee, editor of the Year Book, and has done outstanding dramatic work. Her right to the honors she has won has been clearly established. J. R. SALUTATORIAN Class of 1924 EDWIN JOHNSON’S average for his high school course is 97.49, which entitles him to the honor of Saluta-torian. His record is all the more noteworthy because he will have completed the four years’ course in two and a half years. In addition to his achievements in the classroom, he has found time to perform many services for the school. During his senior year he has served as president of the senior class, captain of the Boys’ Patrol, and in various other capacities. J. R.

JUNIORS NOT ON PANELS Bertliel Johnson Edmund Pickard Annabel Swanson Ernest Gribble George Rowell Gordon West Page Fifty-One JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Do you remember “way back when” the class of ’25 entered school? Do you remember too the “pep” we brought to the school that year? From the first our class lias helped to develop the high school spirit. As Frosh we had two very successful parties, an unusual privilege for freshmen. Also in our freshman year we showed our willing co-operation in high school activities by selling the largest number of Red Cross seals. The beginning of our sophomore year was enlivened by a slight competition with the freshmen, but we showed them their place early in the contest. This contest of wit led to a sack-rush which we won very easily. Our class basketball team last year won the championship of the school by defeating the seniors. Francis Patrick, a member of the class of ’25, won first place in the oratorical contest here and at Ashland, and later represented the Northern District at the State Oratorical Contest at Madison. Our class has. also been well represented in athletics. Eddie Pickard, captain of last fall’s football team, is a junior. The captain-elect, Oscar Marauder, is the class president. The first class party of the. year was given by the junior class. It was in the form of a very successful “Hard Time” party. The “Prom” as usual was the crowning social event of our junior year. Thoughts of summer vacation may seem very tempting just now, but we should not enjoy the prospect half so much if we were not coming back to the good old I. H. S. next year. I D. M. . i Page Fifty-Two - SOPHOMORES 1926 CLASS HISTORY We entered the Ironwood High School in 1922, nearly lost in the flock of students and starting nervously at every bell. As freshmen we indulged in two combats with our worthy elders, the sophs. In one, a sack rush, we were defeated, but our hoys put up a good fight. The second was a contest of “wit” in which the sophomores claim to have defeated us, altho we don't admit it. In our freshman year we distinguished ourselves in two ways. Wilma Rusbolt, of the class of ’26, sold more Red Cross seals than any one else in high school. In the humorous readings contest, Lucy Maki and Mildred Rekola, both of the freshman class, won first and second places respectively. In May we had a very successful class picnic at Mt. Zion. In the fall of 1923 we again reported for work. Again the class distinguished itself in other activities as well: John Cavosie, a sophomore, was a very important part of the football team. John also shone in basketball, and is the captain-elect of next year's quint. We sophomores took first place in the inter-class basketball Contest. In tin Hematite sale we were far ahead of the other classes, having sold 90$ of our quota. We have had one party this year, at which all the sophomores dressed like characters from the funny papers. Everybody from Spark Plug to Mrs. Katzenjammer went home wishing that he could stay longer. May we continue in our chosen path, the one that leads to the top. B. G. ’26.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY When we came up to the high school, we were lost in the hustle and bustle of the first day’s excitement. It took us a little while to learn the usual high school routine. Though the mocking of the upper classmen reached our ears, we faced their jests and soon began to feel at home. Our first class party was held in December in the Domestic Science building. Each English class provided entertainment for the evening and prizes were awarded. The freshman class is proud of the fact that two of its boys had regular places on the basketball team. This has served as an encouragement to the rest of the class and has brought a large number of enthusiastic rooters to the games. The scholarship of the freshman class has been high, and a large percentage have succeeded in having their names placed on the Honor Roll. A play “Miss Civilization was given in the latter part of April in the Memorial Building under the direction of Miss Moore. A number of freshmen were in the “Rose Maiden” and also many took part in the Declamatory Contest. The freshman class has given evidence of very promising material in the line of scholarship and general high school activities and is looking forward to giving further proof of its ability next vear.

S., our teams have risen from an inconspicuous position to a place among the leaders in Upper Peninsula sports. During the last two years Mr. Newcomb has been a very able assistant to Mr. Black. Mr. Ilufi, as manager of the teams, has arranged the schedules and, with the aid of the Boys’ Patrol, has seen to it that athletics have been self-supporting, and the Athletic Association closes the year with a substantial sum to its credit in the bank. These three men are largely responsible for the high esteem in which the athletic teams of the IrOnwood High School are held throughout the state. Good sportsmanship and clean athletics are the policies which they have advocated and which are responsible for the success of our teams. E. J.

EDMUND PICKARD Captain, Center Captain Pickard was the main cog in the 1923 “Red Devils’ ” football machine. At center he was a sure passer on offense and made the middle of the line impregnable on defense. Proclaimed by Coach Black as the best captain he had ever seen in high school football, “Pick’s” fighting personality and guiding hand will be missed on the gridiron next fall. OSCAR MARANDER Captain-Elect, Left Guard No man on the team trained more faithfully or fought harder than the leader of the 1924 “Red Devils”. Breaking into first team harness in mid-season, he was going like a veteran at the end of the season. Although small in stature “Oka” is one of the “fightinest” guards seen around Ironwood for many years. He is expected to lead his gang of “Red Devils” to the Upper Peninsula Championship next fall. STEVE McKEVITT Half Back The Ironwood High School gridiron has been graced with Steve’s presence for four years. Would that we might have him for as many more. He has displayed his prowess for so long that we have come to take his great work as a matter of course. With the passing of McKevitt, Ironwood loses one of the greatest athletes she has ever claimed. Steve was a man who commanded the utmost respect from friend and foe alike. Page Sixty-Seven ARVID JOHNSON Half Back Though diminutive in size, Johnson was the surest ground gainer in the backfield. He was a marked man in every game, but nevertheless he could not be stopped. Ironwood has for so long depended on this man to deliver on the gridiron that we look forward with sorrow to liis graduation. GUSTAV DAHLIN Quarter Gustav had a brilliant future ahead of him as quarter when he was forced out of the Alumni game with a fractured leg. He played only one full game before this accident, but he piloted the team like a veteran of many years. CLIFFORD ROWE Quarter Back Here was a superb field general. “Cliff” seemed to possess the knack of always doing the right thing at the right time. He was quick to discover and take advantage of any weakness that might appear on the opposing team. Rowe’s south-paw won many a game for the Ironwood High School, through clever passing. Clifford graduates in June, leaving a place hard to fill. Page Sixty-Eight JOHN CAVOSIE Full Back A sophomore, sixteen years old, who weighs one hundred seventy-five pounds and is a natural-born football player. ‘ ‘ Cutz ” is a cure for any coach’s troubles; he can do anything that a first class back would be expected to do. As this is his first year on the gridiron, Iron-wood High is expecting things of “Cutz”. WALTKR NETTERBLAD Right End 1 ‘ The hardest hittin ’ end in the U. P. ” was the way our diminutive right end was commonly referred to. He was a little man with exceedingly big ways. This was “Wally’s” first and last year to wear the red of the Ironwood High School. ARVII) SWANBERG Left Tackle Shifted from guard to tackle in mid-season, Swanberg played this position in great style. He was a regular “Rock of Gibralter” on defense and could always be depended on to open a hole when our team needed some yardage. Arvid has one more year to fight for I. H. S. and it is expected to be his best. Page Sixty-Nine CARL EKSTROM Left End “Jewel” was the find of the season in football. Although Coach Black used him at times in the backfield, Ekstrom could perform equally well on the left wing. It is Ironwood’s loss that he did not come out for football before his senior year. If Ekstrom could only play another year he would no doubt prove one of the greatest men ever turned out at Ironwood. JOE KOPECZ End Joe played a steady consistent game at end and could always be relied upon to give everything he had every minute he was in the game. WILIIO IIANTULA Right Guard Playing his first year of football, Hantula showed gradual improvement as the season progressed. He seemed to gain new strength as each game passed until at the end of the season right guard was one of the strongest points in the line. Ironwood is expecting great things of Wilho next year. Page Seventy WILLIAM CARLSON Lineman “Bill” was Coach Black’s general utility man, playing any position in the line. This was his first and only year in football, but he delivered the goods when called upon. RAGNAR LARSON Tackle Ragnar could be depended upon to do his best any time he got into the game. JAMES VOYCE End This boy is sure possessed of ‘ ‘ stick-to-itive-ness”. As a reward for his work during the season he now wears the coveted “I”. Page Seventy-One RAY SMEETH Guard Ray improved steadily as the season went on, and Coach Black is relying upon him to take care of a guard position next fall. ROBERT HEALY Right Tackle Iron wood’s opponents were wasting time and energy when they tried to gain through the right side of the line. Robert, playing his first for the old I. H. S., was in the thickest of the fight every minute he was in the game. If he shows the same fighting spirit in life as he did on the gridiron, success will be his reward. Page Seventy-Two FOOTBALL REVIEW When school opened in September, about forty men responded to the call for candidates for the football team. Of this number only four men had been on the team last year; so it is no wonder that to most fans the prospect of having a winning team seemed very remote. Under the tutelage of Coaches Black and Newcomb the men worked hard and faithfully and gradually developed into a team whose victories surprised the most optimistic of I. II. S. fans. Many persons, well qualified to judge, declared that this year’s team was the best that ever fought for the honor and fame of the I. II. S. It would he useless if not impossible to go into the details of each game, for the loyal students and followers of I. II. S. athletics who witnessed each game will always remember the football season of 1923. The only thing to mar an almost perfect season was the injury to Gustave Dahlin, whose thigh was fractured in the alumni game. He was the star quarterback during the early part of the season. The Northland College eleven was the only team which defeated the Red Devils this year. Ashland was defeated for the second time in about thirteen years. When the season ended, Iron wood and Escanaba were the only undefeated teams in the Upper Peninsula. Escanaba was challenged to a game to decide the championship of the Peninsula, but refused to play. There is no doubt in the minds of Iron wood fans as to what the outcome would have been had this game been played. Coach Black, mentor of I. II. S. athletics for the past four years, is worthy of unstinted praise for developing a championship team from green material. The second team, under the able direction of Assistant Coach Newcomb, played a large part in developing the team by giving the first string men many a battle in practice games. The last game of the season was played against Ashland, November 3, 1923. The following Monday, school was dismissed and all the students formed a parade and marched through the principal streets of the city, celebrating the completion of the most successful football season the Ironwood High School has ever had.

In the latter part of November twenty men turned out to try for the team. Only four of them were veterans from last year. The rest were as yet untried, but looked promising. From this material Coach Black developed a team which played one of the stiff'est schedules in the history of the school with but a single defeat despite the loss of several men from the team. Coach Black and the management of the team took a decided stand for clean athletics by not tolerating the breaking of training rules by any player, regardless of his ability. Their stand in this matter was approved by the student body and local fans, and also excited favorable comment from other parts of the state. Although somewhat handicapped by the substitution of young, untried players for the men that were lost, the Red Devils won first place in this district and took second place in the Class A tournament at Marquette. Tt is hoped that next year they will bring home the Upper Peninsula championship. Besides being a success from the standpoint of games played, the season was a success financially. The receipts were four times greater than those of any preceding season. Season tickets were sold to the students and the townspeople at a very low price. This aided materially in increasing the attendance at basketball games. Never before in the history of the school have such crowds been seen at high school basketball games as were seen here last winter. The Armory was filled to capacity at every game in spite of the fact that many additional seats were added. The students turned out almost 100% strong at each game. To add to the enthusiasm shown by the crowd, the high school band, under the direction of Mr. E. L. Watkins, played at almost every game during the season. Although a number of men will he lost to the team by graduation, Coach Black has discovered during this year a number of young players who show great promise of maintaining the high position in athletics which the Ironwood High School has attained. In addition to the material which has been discovered in the high school this year, the Junior High School team has a number of players who will in the future contribute their share towards I. II. S. athletics. E. J. Page Seventy-Six THE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT With nine victories to its credit out of a schedule of ten games, the team was sent to the class “A” tournament held at Marquette Friday and Saturday, March 14 and 15. By defeating Crystal Falls at Iromvood they had won first place in the district tournament. By defeating Ishpeming and Hancock the team won second place in the Class “A” tournament, and third place in the Upper Peninsula. Negaunee won first place in the tournament and in the Upper Peninsula. Our first opponent was our old rival, Ishpeming. The first half ended with the score 6 to 3 with Ishpeming in the lead. In the second half our team opened up and the outcome of the game was not long in doubt, as the final score of 19 to 10 would indicate. In the second game we met Hancock. The first half ended 8 and 5 with the Red Devils leading. In the second half our boys took eleven points while Hancock could only take five. The game ended 19 to 10 in our favor. The championship game of the tournament was played between Ironwood and Negaunee, Saturday afternoon. The first half ended 10 to 7 in Negaunee’s favor. The final count showed a score of 17 to 10 in Negaunee’s favor. This gave Ironwood second place at the tournament.

Page Seventy-Seven 1924 SKI TEAM THE SKI RACE The annual ski i ace between the Ironwood High School and the Wakefield High School this year was for the permanent possession of the silver loving cup given by the country Y. M. C. A. several years ago. The school which won the cup three times was to retain it permanently. Wakefield had won the cup twice and Ironwood had won it twice; so the race this year was of special interest. About thirty-two boys turned out for the team. After numerous trial runs. Captain James Voyce picked for the team fourteen men who had shown the most speed. The men practiced hard and faithfully for several weeks before the race. The race was run on February 22, from Wakefield to Ironwood. Conditions were ideal for the race and both teams made good time over the fourteen mile course. Wakefield’s speedy runners defeated the Ironwood team and the coveted cup is now among Wakefield’s trophies. E. J. Page Seventy-Eight SB) GIRLS’ BASKETBALL As the Luther L. Wright High School has not had a girls’ basketball team for some time the idea was something of an innovation this year. But under the leadership of Miss Watkins a team was formed shortly after Christmas vacation. The team finally selected from the number who came out for practice consisted of: Florence Kroppe ... Dorothy Miller Linnea Johnson •Jeannette Wilcox . . Frances Larson Florence Freedstrom Lilly Somppi ....... Salomeja Bogun .. . Jumping center .. Second center ....Left guard ... Right guard . . .Left, forward . . Right forward .....Substitute .....Substitute Florence Kroppe, whose athletic ability is outstanding, was unanimously elected captain. After only three weeks of practice the team played a scheduled game with Hurley and, as was to be expected, was defeated by the more experienced Hurley team. The following Friday, as a preliminary to the boys’ game against Wakefield, the girls’ teams of the opposing high schools met. As Wakefield’s team is considered to be the best in the Upper Peninsula, defeat was inevitable. The score was 30-4. A week later the girls played a return game with Wakefield on the Wakefield floor. The girls fought bravely and played a good game, but the greater training and experience of their opponents was too much for them, and they met defeat. However the enthusiasm with which the girls have taken up basketball augurs well for its future, and, with some of the better players back, there is no reason why Ironwood should not be able to produce a winning team another year.

S. continues its efforts to afford the student body and the patrons of the school a series of performances superior both from the viewpoint of the material used and the manner of presentation. The officers of the club now are: President, Robert Haggerson; Vice-President, Francis Patrick; Secretary, Mildred Bekola. In the spring of 1923 this club introduced some of its new members to the school in the production of the “Ghost Story” with Ruthe E. Banfield and Robert Haggerson in the leading roles. During the fall of ’23 a program was presented consisting of the two one-act plays: “Thursday Evening” by Christopher Morley, and the “Trysting Place” by Booth ‘ Tarkington. The cast of “Thursday Evening” included: Ruthe E. Banfield, Lydia Kambe, Wilma Rusbolt, Francis Tresise. Those participating in the “Trysting Place” were: Robert Haggerson, Ruth Lindsay, Dorothy Miller, Walter Netterblad, Francis Patrick, Lila Silberg, Francis Tresise. The most elaborate production that has ever been undertaken here by amateurs was given this spring by “The Red Masque Dramatic ( lub. Shake-speare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream was presented in the auditorium of the Municipal Memorial Building. Costumes were rented from Chicago, and about thirty-five students were included in the cast.

GIRLS’ HOSTESS COMMITTEE The organization known as the Girls’ Hostess Committee was originated in 1921 at the suggestion of Mr. Craig. The charter members of the organization were: Mary E. Curry, Verona Eplett, Ruth Smith, Linnea Johnson, Ruthe E. Banfiekl, Virginia Hemingway, Annabel Miller, Dorothy Miller, Charlotte Bean, Louella Gribble, Elizabeth Rowe, Louise Hedlund, Betty Goudie, Wilma Rusbolt. The primary purpose of the organization was to have the girls act as hostesses at school parties, that they might be enjoyed by all the students. The girls have also displayed interest in other school activities and a willingness to help on any occasion. During the second year of its existence the Hostess Committee gave one party and assisted the Hi-Y Club in putting on another. This year the committee’s activities have been more varied. The girls started out by selling hot dogs at the football games. The money thus gained was used by the music department of the high school in purchasing new material. A reception was also given by the Hostess Committee during the football season for one of the visiting teams. The Ili-Y Club gave a Hallowe’en party at which the girls acted as hostesses. As a climax of its work the members of the committee entertained the basketball and football teams at. a banquet. Several interesting talks were given by the speakers of the evening, and letters were presented to the members of the teams. During this year a number of girls have been admitted to the organization, the club now consisting of thirty members. To obtain membership a girl must be democratic, dependable, and of good scholastic standing; must not be absent from meetings more than twice in succession or three times during the entire year. The members must also have displayed an interest in all school activities. The girls have been very fortunate in having Miss Marian Huson as sponsor, R. E. B. Page Eighty-Five III-Y CLUB THE HUY CLUB The Hi-Y Club was organized three years ago by the local chapter of the Y. M. C. A. The club has grown from an apparently insignificant group of only eleven members, to one of the largest organizations in school with over forty members. It is continually growing and is proving an important factor in the high school. During the past year the Hi-Y Club lias been of assistance to the school in various ways. It has taken charge of several parties, putting them on with great success each time. The football score cards that were given out by the club were of great value to all those that attended the games. Also the banquet given by the Hi-Y Club, which many high school students attended, was one of the biggest events of the year. The Hi-Y Club is a wide awake organization which can be a powerful influence for good in the high school. Its motto “Clean speech, clean sports, clean habits” sets for the school a high standard of what is fair and square.

PATROL For the second time in the school’s history, the Athletic Association has closed the season with a substantial sum of money in its treasury. Although there have been a number of reasons for this profit, a large share of the credit must go to the Boys’ Patrol. The Patrol of 1923-24 consisted of 32 members. It had for its motto, “Everybody Pays”, and steadfastly proceeded to collect from all spectators at all athletic contests. The task these boys undertook was not an easy one. At times their work was far from pleasant. It required courtesy, tact, courage, and determination. The Patrol met its responsibility in such splendid fashion as to win the respect and admiration of all who attended the high school games. With the better management of games has come increased attendance and stronger school spirit. The receipts of the basketball season of 1923 amounted to about $500. The basketball season of 1924 brought receipts of more than $2200. The Ironwood High School Athletic Association is on a solid financial basis. It pays as it goes. This has been possible only through the untiring and unselfish work of the Boys’ Patrol. Edwin Johnson acted as president and Melville Wright served as secretary during the past year. Both did their work efficiently. J. R. Page Eighty-Nine w P3 33 T g 5’ T c GIRLS9 GLEE CLUB GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Early in the school year the call for singers was sent out. Many girls tried out for tiie glee club, but only forty were accepted. Miss Iluson judged applicants by the range and quality of the voice, and the ability in sight singing. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Iluson the glee club has had a very successful season. In October the Teachers' Institute was held at the Memorial Building, and the Girls’ Glee Club made its first public appearance. 1 hough somewhat excited, the girls did their best and paved the way for a warm welcome wherever they sang afterwards. The Woman’s Club invited the glee club to sing at one of their meetings. In November the girls sang before the Rotary Club where they were heartily applauded. As Christmas approached, an air of importance and excitement was noticeable in the semi-weekly meetings. The vocal music classes assisted by the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Club’s were planning a Christmas Carol program to be given at the Memorial Building. The large auditorium was crowded and the program was greatly appreciated by the audience. As a culmination of all its work the club gave a May concert. The program included a group of Indian tribal songs and another of negro melodies which met with the hearty approval of the audience. D. M.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB A very successful Boys’ Glee Club represented the I. II. S. this year. At the beginning of the year it was found that almost all the members of last year’s Glee Club were to be back again and others were soon added. The number of members has since been cut down to the twenty-five best singers in the school. The club has practiced for forty minutes every Tuesday and Friday morning throughout the year. The school is proud to have a club of such calibre among its organizations. During the year the club has sung at a number of assemblies, and lias appeared many times before the public. This spring the club sang before the Rotary Club which enjoyed the selections so much that they have expressed a desire to hear the boys again. The club has appeared at the Central School assemblies. In the “Rose Maiden” several of the club members, who are in the music classes, helped make the cantata a success. An octet of boys has appeared many times in entertainments at the Memorial Building. A great deal of credit is due Mr. Johnson, through whose efforts the club’s success has been made possible. Anna Farney has proved a remarkably callable and reliable accompanist. May the glee club of next year be as successful as the club of 1924! PIANIST C. L.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA When notice was sent around at the beginning of the year to students interested in an orchestra, it was found that practically all of last year s members were to be back again. To this nucleus various new members were added More music was purchased, and the members started in diligently practicing to make this year’s orchestra the best in the history of the school. They have practiced every Tuesday at 4:15 throughout the school year. During the year the orchestra has appeared frequently before the public. It has assisted at the Woman’s Club play, “Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh held at the Memorial Building; the Night School Commencement Exercises; the Dramatic Club’s play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream ; at Commencement, Rotarv Club dinners, Central School assemblies, and numerous performances held during the year by different organizations. The orchestra’s success is largely due to Mr. Watkins, who has made a name for I. H. S. in local musical circles. The orchestra has been very fortunate in having Anna Farney as accompanist. C. L.

When blanks were given out last fall, about fifty boys signified their intention of joining the band, and of these, thirty form the regular I. H. S. hand. The instruments are valued at two thousand dollars, and are for the most part owned by the members themselves. The following instruments are used: clarinets, cornets, flute, bass, trombones, saxophones, and drums. After many weeks of hard practice the hand made its first appearance before the public about November first. At the basketball games the band roused the school spirit to a pitch which would never have been attained otherwise. At present a second hand is practicing and will join the first band to play at the football games next fall. Besides making an excellent showing at the basketball games, the band has played at the Boy Scout Circus and numerous other entertainments given during the year. It has played at the Central School assemblies, and made a very favorable impression on the students there, many of whom are already planning to join the band next year. The band has also played at the Rex Theater and at Rotary Club dinners. The band will unite with the glee clubs in giving a concert this spring and will help to furnish the music for the marching on Memorial Day. The high school students in general, as well as the band members, appreciate the action of the school authorities in purchasing instruments for those who could not afford to buy them and are grateful to Mr. Watkins for the generous use of his time and talent.

It contains in miniature all the features of a regular newspaper, news items, editorials, sport page, all limited to matters concerning the school, alumni news, and, last but not least, “jokes”. The only advertising which has appeared has been in regard to high school entertainments and sports. The subscribers are high school students and a few interested alumni. The “What’s What has a large exchange list and is a member of the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association. Besides helping to create the needed spirit in the school, “What’s What” has enlivened the senior English work to a noticeable degree. Thanks to the support of the loyal students and the Athletic Association, the staff has published twelve numbers. The strong backing and the helpful suggestions of Mr. Ruff as well as the assistance and encouragement of Miss Jean Goudie have contributed largely to the paper s success. The staff of the “What’s What” includes the following: Editor, Linnea Johnson; class editors, Sylvia Ilolmlund, Marian Best, Annabel Miller, Amy Lawrenson; business manager, William Carlson; exchange editor, Walter Net-terblad; humorist, Elizabeth Eplett; typists, Saima Lehti, Sarah Hummel, Astrid Lorenson; junior editor, Nannie Lindberg; sophomore editor, Wilma Rusbolt; freshman editor, Arthur Pearse; faculty advisor, Miss Jean Goudie.

Wickman, Charles NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY IRONWOOD CHAPTER Education means a great deal more than mere knowledge. Unless learning is coupled with character, high ideals, service to others, and other worthy characteristics, it is worse than valueless. In an attempt “to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate desire for service to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the high school pupils of the nation, ’ the National Honor Society was created several years ago. Only high schools of good standing are chartered by the national body. Membership within a high school is limited to seniors. Fifteen percent of each Senior class may be elected to membership. The charter was granted to the Luther L. Wright High School in 1922, and since that time the Honor Society has made a distinct contribution to the morale of the school Election to this society is a very high honor. It signifies that the individual who wins the honor has not only done sound school work, but that he has given evidence of possessing good character, qualities of leadership, and, in addition, has actually served the school. In brief it means that the presence of these pupils has made the Luther L. Wright High School a Detter school. t James Bean Thomas Davey Linea Ericson Clyde Blackwell Selden Crary Mary Elizabeth Curry MEMBERS ELECTED FROM CLASS OF 1922 Roscelia Grigg Lois G.

A large number of students entered and most of the selections rendered showed excellent preparation. Annabel Miller with “The Sign of the Cross” took first place in the district contest of the Chequamegon League and first place in the Gogebic County contest. Ruthe E. Banfield took second place with the “Melting Pot”. In the humorous reading contest Lucy Maki was awarded first place. Her reading of “The Ruggles’ Dinner Party” afterward took first place in the Gogebic County contest. Mildred Rekola’s rendering of “Seventeen” was given second place in the school. Francis Patrick won first place in oratory with his speech, “Our Heritage and Its Keeping”. He took second in the district contest, first place in the inter-district contest, but lost out in the keen competition of the state contest at Madison. Waldemar Wickman won second place in the school with “Daniel O’Connell”. R. E.B. Page One Hundred Two Jack did not have a very good chance, of becoming a dull boy during this past year if he attended the many social functions given by the various classes of the higli school. Each class had its individual party, but. the all-school party proved the most popular, for it gave the four classes an opportunity to intermingle and to become better acquainted. Several of these parties were in the form of a reception in honor of a visiting football team. All of them were most successful and we are sure that the visitors returned to their homes strongly impressed by the spirit of hospitality and good-fellowship displayed by the I. H. S. On the evening of December 22 the freshmen class enjoyed their first social event of the year, which was a Christmas party. As the evening wore on, they lost some of their shyness and proceeded to enjoy themselves by playing various games. When bedtime came around, the frosh paired off and marched happily homeward. The sophomore class displayed its originality by presenting a “Funny Paper” party. Everyone was there from Barney Google to Mutt and Jeff. When the program had been completed and the crowd began to drift away, the sophomores felt that their contribution to the high school calendar had been a happy one. The junior class attired in tatters and rags and cast off apparel enjoyed a successful hard time party early in the school year. The bowery atmosphere was prevalent everywhere. The juniors too were satisfied with their first social function of the year. On the night of March 28 seniors dismissed their scholastic worries and forgot all about the uncertainty of the future when they gave a hard time party to which the other classes were invited. The crowning social event of the school year of 1923 was the Junior Prom which was held at the Armory. The decorations, which were unique and attractive, were rivaled only by the many pretty dresses that helped to.make the picture even more striking. The spot light played on the many couples as they danced through the evening to the sweet strains and sharp syncopations of the orchestra. At the close of the affair a tired, happy crowd of students filed out of the Armory and wended their way homeward. The members of the football squad felt their efforts were appreciated at the close of the season; they were given a splendid banquet at the Elks' Club. On this occasion each player was awarded a gold watch fob in the form of a foot-hall. In November the football squad was entertained at a venison dinner at the St, James, which was given by Mr. Black, Mr. Rufi, and Mr. Newcomb. After the basketball season the members were given a ‘big feed at the Curry by Mr. Felix Cannon with Mr. Herbert Jussen acting as the speaker of the evening. A.M.

Her little hood was perched on the side—, tantalizingly. “You're so different,” he murmured. “You’re so quiet, and they are so noisy. They are so emotional, you are so cool. I love your coolness. Are you tired? You dear thing!” He sighed; then he cranked her, jumped in, and drove away. How he did love his ol’ Ford! Miss King: “This paper isn’t up to your usual standard, John. Weren't you feeling well ? ’ ’ Johnie K.: “Oh, I felt all right, but maybe my neighbor didn’t.” Mr. Resh (to Carl entering 10 minutes late) : “When were you born?” Carl: “April 2.” Mr. Resh: “Late again.” They were in Reed’s. Joe was looking across the table into her beautiful eyes. In a minute the music would start; he would take her into his arms. They would sway rhythmically upon the floor. There was a loud crash. “Come,” he said, “the orchestra has started.” “Oh,” Alice started. “You poor nut, that’s not the orchestra. Frankie just dropped a stack of dishes.” Miss Janet Goudie: “Late again, John.” Johnnie K.: “You said you didn’t like students to watch the clock.” Jeannette (at a football game) : Hold him, Eddie, I know you can. Arvie opened his eyes and found himself lying upon stony ground. He felt dizzy as he raised himself on his elbow. There was a dark stain on his shirt, just above his heart. Looking down, he watched it, fascinated, as it spread itself over the white cloth. Slowly he put his hand over his heart, he could hear it pumping, pumping,—Then suddenly he snatched his hand away again and stared at it in horror. It was sticky with a warm wetness. “Darn him,” he growled, “I'll get him for this, I'll get him.” The clerk at the drug store had assured him that the pen was non-leak-able. Eddie: “Mom, I wish you wouldn't call me your lamb when people are around.” Mrs. Pickard: “Why not, Eddie?” Eddie: “It makes me feel so sheep- ish.” Boh: “What happened to Fred’s saxophone ? ’ ’ Carl: ‘ ‘ Some poor soul yielded to temptation.” Bob: “Too had, and stole it?” Carl: “No; threw it in the river.” Kroppe: “Which side would a photographer take in a debate?

I've had it six weeks and it’s as good as new.” TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION The wind wailed wildly. Ilail hailed hilariously. Lightning lightened liberally. Thunder thundered terribly. A slinking, slimy, sleuth slunk into a student’s study. Ferocity flashed fiendishly from his orbs. Here was his chance. Had he not seen the poor booh studying McLaughlin’s History of the United States when he peeked through the window? Suddenly he stopped, horrified. Silently he listened. Then the hardened criminal turned and slunk out into the night. How could he know the student was only chastising his history book?

For Your Benefit ROB MAKI AT HIRVELA STUDIO Page One Hundred Seventeen LINCOLN knew. 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. This Bank can assist you to better accomplishments and safer and higher ideals. Gogebic National Bank Ironwood, Mich. OFFICERS D. E. Sutherland, President O. C. Davidson, R. A. Douglas, L. M.
