Sylvester Mueller THE HEMATITE 1926 GLASS HISTORY AS REVIEWED IN 1950 SCENE, the living room of an Ironwood house. An alumna of the class of ’26 is seated at a table looking at the Hematite of her class. Enter her daughter. Elizabeth: What’s the matter, mother? You look so thoughtful. Mother: I was just thinking of the time when I went to high school. I had such won- derful times. Elizabeth: Oh, tell me all about your class. Mother: All right, dear. I love to talk about my days in school. As freshies we spent our “salad days green in judgment”. The sophomores, thinking themselves superior, challenged us to a contest of wit and a sack rush. Proudly and bravely we took up the challenge. We won in the contest of wit and lost in the sack rush, but Markham says, “defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.” Mildred Bekola and Lucy Maki won honors in the Declamatory Contest. Wilma Rusbolt sold more Red Cross seals than any other student in the high school. Then came the glorious freshman day! Our play was very successful and brought to the front some of the students talented in dramatics. The year went by and we became sophisticated sophs. We won the championship in interclass basket ball. John Cavosie was the star player. Elizabeth: Hurray, sophs! Mother: During our sophomore year we led in the Hematite sale. The most important social event of the year was the funny paper party. In our junior year we were very active participants in all school affairs. We had a very good record in scholarship. A number of boys represented the class both on the football and basket ball teams. The “Prom” was the biggest event of the year. “Seventeen”, our class play, w'as the hit of the season. In the oratorical contest Leonard Young won first place while Lucy Maki gained honors for her class with a humorous reading. Our novel classdav program, the “K. K. K.” was enjoyed by everyone. Then came the happiest time of all our years in high school—our senior year! The new building was at our service. Our attendance at the games and other school activities was the best in the high school. We had a number of boys on the basket ball and football teams. Several of our boys were on the all state teams, and in this year, Cavosie became an athlete known through the United States. Many of the boys were the proud wearers of the “I”. On our class day we gave two plays, “Suppressed Desires” and “Where But in America?” Our last class party in the spring was a great success, the attendance being almost one hundred per cent. Then came graduation. How sad we all were to leave! We were very proud to be the first class to graduate from the new building which was one of the finest in the state. This, my dear, is the history of the class of '26. Always full of pep and vigor, we hoped that we had followed the right footsteps while at school. May the spirit of the class of ’26 live on forever. —E. L. Page Thirty-six THE HEMATITE—1926 GLASS WILL HARK Ye! Mark Ye! Oyez! Hear! That we, the Seniors of the first graduating class of the new Luther L. Wright High School of Ironwood, Michigan, in Gogebic County, being more or less (mostly less) of sound, solid, and disposing mind and memory, in due consideration of the great quest of knowledge by the lower classmen, do edit, publish, ordain, establish, and acknowledge this our last will and testament. (We include in this our last book of psalms!) It shall be done as follows: Firstly: We render up to our successors the task of paying for our funeral expenses. We request that our wreathes are not bedecked with ribbons. Secondly: We bequeath to the would-be dignified Juniors (our successors) the long list of authors and periods of literature along with Hamlet’s “To be or not to be’’ remembered for Miss Jean Goudie’s English class. Also we recommend coming late to home room about six times a week as a stimulant for staying after school. —Don’t be so rude as to be more than half an hour late! Thirdly: To the aspiring Sophomores (not to be rendered to their heirs) we advise a master key for all padlocks found on lockers. Also to said Sophomores we bestow the right and exhilaration of catching Mr. High running through the halls, provided they are not caught themselves! And furthermore, be it known: That “Babe” Rowell bequeaths the art, right, wiles, and power of keeping Allan Arthur, to Jeanette Simon. That the seniors in the band entrust their faithful blares and boxes of agony to those who would follow in the footsteps of their forefathers. That William Wick solemnly renders to his successor the task of collecting the “forgotten” nickels for the What’s What! That Arvid and “Kelly” Noren bequeath to “Red” Larson and How do you open the window?” Maki the art ot Charlestoning. Also, that Frank Schoengarth delivers his melodious harmonica (or saxophone) to Art Pearse, his contemporary. (This is done at the request of Frank’s neighbors, not Art’s.) And to those who would live a life of happy contentment within our building as well as in other new edifices we give the following suggestions (to be carried out in lull) namely: 1. Before entering the building step into the largest mud-puddle near the door. The tracks that you make are not in the “sands of time”, but mud will do just as well. 2. Again, don’t come late more than twice a day. If you do, you may become ambitious as Caesar did—see what he got! 3. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, only do it first. For instance, copy your partner’s paper before he copies yours! 4. When you make an “S” in American History instead of an “E”, write to the publisher—he may have made a mistake. Editors are dumbbells, but don’t be too harsh with them. 5. Don’t forget to leave your locker key at home when you are late. It is a very convenient way of blaming your tardiness onto Arvil Williams’ successor! Finally: To those who would bring honor to the school as well as to themselves, we bequeath all our efforts and means of keeping our school in a condition fit for sociable people. |P!

(Before the Prom) bv the testator and aggravator, Leonard Young, in the presence of Arvidina Anderson and Lucy Maki, witnesses, in the presence of each other, in behalf (better halves too) of the Seniors and thereunto we have affixed our (Christmas) seal! —L.

Thiriy itighx THE HEMATITE —1926 The Rev. Mr. William's wife, nee Ernestine Taylor, Mrs. Allan Arthur (Emily Rowell), and Miss Cecelia Voitek pleased the congregation with numerous vocal selections with a harp accompaniment by Miss Jessie Rudberg. Let it be said that Miss Rudberg is on the way to heaven! My hand now set the crystal slowly revolving. Here at Washington sat Miss Selma Ladin and Miss Helia Kangas, secretaries to Senator L. Silberg and Representative B. Champion respectively, discussing affairs of state. Another turn of the crystal showed the New York Central Limited with two unusual looking individuals riding the rods. On close examination they proved to be Sadie Bashara and Viola Allen who seemed to have become professionals along that line. Walking down the aisle of the car appeared a brakeman—excuse me, brakewoman—Carrie Anderson. What a changed world! Why even in the engine sat the daring pilot, Grace Coumbe, with a fireman known as “Rough and Ready” Elvv Anderson. In the mail-coach sat little Frank Oleksy wi th a dounle-barreled shotgun across his knees. During his spare time he works on long problems of solid trigonometry. He has a very good mental subtracting machine. In the day coach sat that suave gentleman, Prof. John Nicholas, who recently held the chair of Professor of English literature at the German University in Paris. He was accompanied by his devoted wife, Mrs. Lucille Kroppe Anderson Nicholas. Mrs. Nicholas had divorced her first husband. I knew, because he had run away with a pirate crew. The train then slowly passed out of sight. The crystal revolved and gave me a glimpse of the fashionable home of Dr. Arnold Rolfsman in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was seated by the open fireplace with his wife, Mrs. Wilma Rusbolt Eckstrom Rolfsman, who had just become ambassador to Spain, discussing matters of foreign policy. The couple had engaged Miss Elizabeth Rowe as governess for their children. Ah, me! How happy they seemed! Another turn of the magic sphere reveals a burlesque show going on at station W. B. B. G. (We'd Better Be Good). The principal numbers are: a dance by little Anna Erickson, a vocal selection by Nan Berlin of the Berlin Incorporation, and a piano duet by the famous Anne Drazgowski and Gladys Eckrose. The manager of this station, it might be said, is a very capable announcer, as she is gifted with a man’s voice. She is Mary Talaska. Look now! Here's a Woman’s Club Meeting back in good old Ironwood! It looks very good to see the old familiar faces”. There sits Josephine George, the poet, presiding as usual. There also sit my old contemporaries, Esther Dahlin, Helen Coleman, and Betty Goudie. These again are the principal speakers: Belle Gregory on Why Men Grow Bald,” Miss Eleanore Lehti on Why Ironwood Needs More Public Dances”. Also on the program I see the Johnson twins, Edith and Sylvia, doing a toe dance. The globe now revolves faster and pictures appear and disappear before my eyes. Bernice Shouldice is marrying Woo Fing of the Steam Laundry. Eleanor Jackson, Tyne Keranen, and Ingrid Erickson are still taking orders for the Atlantic Tea Company. Adina Sutherland is selling peanuts for the Reino Nelmark Novelty Wagon Corporation. Iris Pellow, Hazel Olson, and Millicent Richards are driving for the Yellow Cab Com-panv. Mildred Reid and Dorothy Nelson are rehearsing for the Lucy Maki Comedy Troupe. When the ball revolves to Hollywood, I catch glimpses of the Aggravatin’ Trio”—Clifford Brannas, Linda Nyman and Ellen Larson. At San Francisco the late Chinese ambassador, Mr. Don Lindberg, and his fiancee, Miss Maxwell Lager, are waiting at the station for the arrival of Miss Elsie Leppanen and Miss Kathryn Regoni, keepers of the Home for Disabled Hamlet Players”, who are coming to discuss the possibility of some new candidates for the home. It is now past midnight. Stop, magic spheroid! Thou shalt go no longer! But wait! What is it I see? There is a ship in mid-ocean which is Cnina-bound. Why, that is none other than the Sea Wolf”, better known as Wild Bill” Hoglund, commanding the vessel. See him toss his men about with brute force! My eyes grow clouded. I can see through the crystal no more. Yet I am happy that I have seen all my classmates well and alive in this year of 1948. — L. Y. Page Thirty-nine THE HEMATITE-1926 POST-GRADUATES This year the post-sraduates have taken an active part in school activities; among then Playcrafters. Glee tiub, Hi-Y. Band and Orchestra. They organized a basket ball team. The Special Mention List published every five weeks usually contained the names of several of their number. THE HEM ATI TE 1926 CLASS HISTORY AS freshmen we were very proud of ourselves, and in defiance of the upper class-men s taunts we chose green and white as our colors. Of course we were a little “green” at first, but we tried to live up to our colors by being “fresh and clean” as well. That year we presented a play, “Miss Civilization” at the Memorial Building, and gave a very successful party at the Kindergarten. Two of our class played on the school basket ball team their first year. We had three on both the basket ball and football teams the next year besides winning the inter-class basket ball tournament. Then a well attended class party was thoroughly enjoyed by the whole class. Do you remember how the upper class men roared with laughter when we presented “A Girl to Order”, and what a charming girl Arthur Pearse made? But the shining spot in our history has been this past junior year. Five out of the eight men on the basket ball squad belong to the class of 1927. The football squad had a similar proportion; again we won the inter-class championship. In the Hematite sale our class came out on the top. In February a skating party was held at the Colonial. I he big events of our junior year, however, were our successful “Prom”, and our class play, 1 he Youngest , which brought to light considerable dramatic talent anil was generally voted the best ever. Wre have one more year in the new high school; we are going to do our level best to make it one grand finale.

Page Forty-eight THE HEMATITE 1026 CLASS OK 1928 CLASS HISTORY IN 1924 we entered the old high school, ambitious, hut green. When we overcame our greenness, we proceeded to show the school that ambitions can become realities. In our freshman year one boy was on the basketball team. We staged a successful party in the home economics building and then, as a fitting climax, we entertained the other classes with a novel play, “The Open Road”. The beginning of the year 1925 saw us in this beautiful, new structure filled with a determination to make this year a live one rather than the usual dead, sophomore year. Our defeat in the inter-class tournament is only evidence that we are breaking traditions. One member of our class made the football team and the basket ball squad. If our freshman party was successful, our sophomore party, held in the gym, was even more so. The entertainment given before the students in April was a worthy successor of our freshman program. I he class has always made a creditable showing in scholarship, and has shown a spirit that entitled it to consideration for the School Spirit Cup.

H X m I m H H m ’O ro O) THE HEMATITE 1S26 Captain John Cavosie—“all Michigan” fullback Here is Ironwood High School's only “All Michigan” football player, weighing around ewo hundred pounds in his fighting togs. “Captain Cutz” can run and plunge, kick and pass, block and tackle,—in fact he is the kind of gridiron artist that we read about but seldom see. Cutz gained state wide publicity by his playing in the Detroit game and nation wide renown in the Menominee game w'hen he booted over a drop kick from the world's record distance of 55 yards. Donald West—center Don received his chance at center in the Superior game and then he stayed the remainder of the season. On offense he was a sure passer— not too fast, not too slow', not too high, not too low'—just right, a difficult task, but Don delivered. A charger on offense and a deadly tackier and intercepter of forward passes on defense, Don is expected to be one of the mainstays of the team next year. Modesto Zancanaro—end “Bumbo” was big and rugged enough to smash interference and at the same time agile enough to sift his way through the interference and get the man with the ball. He could cover punts and also had ability to get into the open to receive passes. Few men ever got around his end for a substantial gain. This was his second and last year for I. H. S. William Wick—guard During his first and only year for I.’H. S‘ “Bill was a regular “Rock of Gibraltar ■ at guard position. A savage charger on defense, with ability to open holes for the backs on offense, “Bill” was in the hottest part of the game every minute. The guard’s play is often unnoticed by the spectators, but the players know that a really great guard is a wonderful asset to any team, and the squad will feel Bill’s absence next year. Sam Davey—quarter and end Sam w'as kept from a regular berth on the team on account of his diminutive size and also because Coach Black wranted a man in reserve who could take Zambrovitz’s place at quarter if necessary. Sam is now a two year letter man and writh his nerve and love for the game is sure of a regular position next year. Page Fifty-seven THE HEMATITE 1926 Sylvester Mueller—end “Bud has proved himself an all-round man on the gridiron this year, starting at guard but plaving tnc latter part of the season at end. His knowledge of the game and his fierce tackling on defense made the right wit g one of the strongest points on the team. In the Redford game at Detroit, the Ironwood cheering section went wild with joy on seeing “Bud’s” spectacular catch for the only touchdown in the first half of that memorable game. Cazmer Zambrovitz, captain elect —“all u. p. quarterback The quarterback of a football team must be a leader, a fellow with personality. He must have a good voice,—a voice that will thrill and inspire. He must be a fellow with a keen intellect, resourcefulness, initiative, ability to analyze and size up the situation. He must have a memory and imagination. If you add to all these qualifications, the ability to tackle viciously, return punts, hurl forward passes and kick, you will have “Caz”, our captain-elect for next year. Clarence Johnson, tackle— all u. p.” No boy with a hesitating disposition can ever play football—least of all a tackle. “Kelly” was one of the most aggressive men on the team, a real shock absorber on defense and an irresistible force on offense. He had irrepressible fight, as evidenced by his playing practically the entire Redford game with an injured ankle that would have sent the average player to the bench. May the I. H. S. have many more players of your type, “Kelly”! Russell Leksell, half—“all u. p.” “Parson” was rightly called the “gallopin’ ghost” of the Upper Penninsula. An uncanny receiver of forward passes, this loose-hipped chap could just fade away from the would-be tacklers and carry his precious burden across the last white line. A splendid broken field runner with blocking ability above the average, “Parson” is sure to be in the limelight next fall. WlLHO MAKI—GUARD “They won’t get by me!”—and they didn’t as the opponents’ score for the season will show. Wilho’s greatest assets were his strength, weight, and aggressiveness. He was always cool under fire and his fighting spirit an inspiration to his team mates. The guard position calls for great exertion and instant action, but “Crowbar” was never found wanting. His work in the Redford game was spectacular. May he repeat next year! Page Fifty-eight THE HEMATITE 1926 WAI.DEMAR Wicklund, half- “all U. “Oola” is the third member of Coach Rlack's All Upper Peninsula backfield. His playing was one of the features of every game. Though he weighs only 140 pounds, he was one of our best ground gainers. Playing his last year, Oola” demonstrated how a shifty back could elude defensive players by change of pace, sudden change of direction, use of straight arm, and dodging ability. A harder tackier Iron-wood has never had. Armas Rintala—half Armas, better known as “Speed,” was capably holding a regular position at half until an injury in the Ashland game forced him to retire for the remainder of the season. With his injury healed, “Speed” is expected to show more class than ever next fall. Glen Shouldice—guard A hard-hitting, consistent lineman, Glen gave all he had when called into the game. Although light in weight he held his own with his much larger opponents. We are sorry that this is “Pie’s” last year to play for I. H. S. Richard Luoma—end and half Richard showed real football stuff when called upon to relieve a regular. His ability to advance the ball coupled with his hard-hitting tackles makes a regular position on next year’s team almost a certainty for him. Rhino Nelmark—tackle Reino's invincible brand of football won for him a regular berth on this season’s team. He was powerful, aggressive, and every inch a fighter. His crushing tackles were the feature of many games. Iron wood loses one of her most consistent gridders when this boy graduates in June. Page Fifty-nine THE HEMATITE 1926 REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON IRONWOOD’S most successful season came to a glorious close in the fall of ’25. Although Coaches Black and Newcomb have turned out some very successful teams in the past five years, the last one so far surpasses the others that fans without any hesitation call it the greatest football team in the history of the school. With the exception of the first game, which ended in a scoreless tie, Ironwood easily outclassed all her opponents. Offensively a powerful scoring unit, and a tower of strength on defense— as the uncrossed goal line will testify—Ironwood went through the season without a defeat. There was not a single weak department in Ironwood’s game for the opposition to take advantage of. The team very successfully upheld Ironwood’s splendid record and made it the third successive vear that the Red Devils have been undefeated in football. The Red Devils opened the season at Superior with Superior Central and, although outweighed by their rivals, they held Superior scoreless, anti came very near scoring themselves. The following week Ironwood turned back the invading Menominee team with an overwhelming defeat, 47 to 0. Aided by splendid interference on the part of his teammates, Captain Cavosie showed the fans the finest open field running of the season. Hurley was played on her own field and lost to Ironwood by a score of 47 to 0. Hancock came here determined to avenge last year’s defeat, but the Red Devils, showing mid-season form, played brilliant football and again won, 19 to 0. The last home game of the season was played with Norway. Running true to form, Ironwood again launched a brilliant offensive in the last half and administered a 34 to 0 beating to the visitors. A fitting climax to a brilliant season was the Redford game at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. Redford had demonstrated her superiority over the Class B teams of the southern peninsula and was suggested by the State Director of Athletics as a suitable opponent for Class B honors. It was the first time Ironwood had sent a team to the lower peninsula and the first from the north in several years. Ironwood was conceded little chance to win, but the fans showed their enthusiasm by giving the boys a rousing send-off and the Red Devils went down determined to win, and defeated Redford by a score of 47 to 0, outplaying them in every department of the game. Redford was unable to stop Ironwood’s dazzling aerial attack and open style of play. Playing before the critical eyes of the foremost football authorities of the state, Ironwood proved beyond a doubt that her strength had not been overestimated. Throughout the season the team played a hard but clean game and in every way proved themselves a credit to their city and to their school. The fans will not soon forget that powerful football machine of 1925. The squad brought Ironwood before the eyes of the entire state as a power in football. The future teams will have a real task on their hands to keep up the standard set by the team of ’25, the greatest team that Ironwood has ever had. Following is a summary of the season.

Page Sixty-two THE HEMATITE—1926 REVIEW OF THE BASKETBALL SEASON THE basket ball season of '25-'26 was late in getting under way because of the post-season football game. Prospects were not the brightest, with a center and a guard and forward to be found from the ranks of the squad. Several workouts were held before the Christmas holidays but the regular schedule of games did not begin till the new year. A practice game with Iron Belt was won, 18 to 10. Crystal Falls then furnished the opposition in the first regularly scheduled game in the new gymnasium and after a hard fight Ironwood won, 20 to 18. In the dedication game the following week, the Menominee Maroons won bv a substantial score of 20 to 9. The Central High team from Superior was defeated by the Red Devils, 14 to 9. The team was becoming more like the smoothly working combinations that have represented Ironwood in previous years. The Wakefield game showed that Ironwood had at last hit its stride. Wakefield lost on her own floor by a score of 14 to 12. Michigamme was the next to fall before the attack of the locals and was turned back by an 18 to 9 defeat. Ironwood invaded the Menominee camp the following week and upset all dope on the game by trouncing the Maroons 26 to 19. In the next game the Red Devils had to walk three miles in a blinding snowstorm after their bus had stalled, in order to reach Crystal Falls, and were defeated, 21 to 16. Michigamme tasted defeat on her own floor for the first time in six years when Iron-wood defeated the team, 14 to 6, the night after the Crystal Falls game. In the district tournament held at Ironwood, only two teams, the local squad and Bessemer, were in Class B. In the contest for Class B honors, Ironwood won after a thrilling battle by a 16 to 13 score. The Red Devils met the Alumni in two practice games during open dates on their schedule, but the graduates were too strong and the team was defeated in both games. Not being regularly scheduled games, they were not considered in the season’s average. Ironwood went to the Upper Peninsula tournament at Marquette with a record of nine victories and two defeats. They were paired with Escanaba in the first game and after a real battle tied the score before the final whistle. In the overtime period. Iron-wood made the only basket and won 12 to 10. Houghton, the winner of the Bessemer-Houghton game, fell before the fighting Red Devils in the next game, 23 to 21, after leading throughout the game. Ironwood met the Negaunee squad for Class B honors in the Upper Peninsula. Ironwood secured an early two point lead and at half time the score was 10 to 6 in favor of Negaunee. In the second half the last year’s champions could not be stopped and Negaunee won, 30 to 12. The 1925-’26 season can without doubt be called a success. After a slow start, Ironwood won eleven of her fourteen games and won second place in Class B, which equals the work of any past squad that has represented the school. 1 he Red Devils will lose but one man through graduation and, with the splendid facilities for practice now available, the fans are confident that Ironwood will be a powerful contender for the championship next year.

Ironvvood High School was granted a local charter last year. The purpose of this society is to foster high scholarship among athletes, to stimulate a desire for balanced training, and to develop more outstanding leaders in the high schools of the United States. Eligibility to membership is limited to those athletes who have earned a letter and whose average in their school work for three consecutive semesters is higher than the general average of the school. The emblem is a beautiful solid gold key. The following Ironwood High School athletes have received membership in this 1925-1926 Richard Luoma Armas Rintala Waldemar Vicklund Joe Walisiewicz Donald West William Wick 1924-1925 Colin Gilbert Arthur Hakenen Ray Smeeth Oscar Marander THE HEMATITE 1926 i Tu'upy bi tj iyy — ' B y .

THE HEMATITE-1926 THE HEMATITE 1926 HI-Y CLUB THE Hi-Y Club of our school was organized five years ago by the local chapter of Y. M. C. A. It is a member of the national Hi-Y organization and keeps in touch with the Hi-Y Clubs of other schools. It now consists of forty boys in the senior high school and is proving a help to the school. The first thing the club did this year was to give out football score folders to the entire junior and senior high school. The boys of the club undertook the task of selling hot dogs to defray the expenses. They also staged a mock band parade the night before the Menominee game, arousing much enthusiasm among the townspeople. During the month of February the club put on a four “C” campaign in which Mr. High, Mr. Wright, Dr. Stebbins, Mr. Black, and the Rev. Mr. Pearson spoke. These talks were open to all senior high boys. Also during this month the club sent seven delegates to the Older Bovs’ Conference at Marquette. On April 9 the club presented a very successful assembly program. The banquet, which was held in the early part of April in the cafeteria, was a huge success. The club is looking forward to a great annual picnic which will be held just before the closing of school. The boys of the club wish to thank Mr. Hanson for his assistance and enthusiasm as sponsor of the club. The Hi-Y has tried faithfully to live up to its motto, “Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship”. —W. W. Page Sixty-nine THE HEMATITE—1926 THE PLAYCRAFTERS THE PLAYCRAFTERS” was organized, early in the fall of 1925, for the purpose of encouraging and presenting dramatic productions of especial value lor high school students.

In the cast were: Doris Savage, Edmond Kroppe, Whitney Dixon, Vienna Koski, Marlon De Tuncq, Evelyn Connors, Elbert Appleton, and Karstens Kennedy. This play was unusually popular, as it was done for the following audiences: Ironwood Woman’s Club, the high school assembly, Kiwanis, and the Wakefield Woman’s Club. “Captain Applejack”, termed “an Arabian Night Adventure in three acts”, bv Walter Hackett, was produced on Nov. 13 at the Memorial Auditorium.

After several preliminary contests held in the public speaking room, the candidates selected took part in a final contest held in the Central School auditorium in April. A prize of $10.CO in gold was offered by the Rotary Club to the winner of each division, and $5.00 to the person given second place. Both in the interest exhibited by the school and the public and in the excellence of the work, the contest was up to the Iron wood standard. In the declamations, Marjorie Clark won first place with “The Minuet , while Emily Rowell was chosen second with “Humoresque . Of those entered in the oratorical division, Leonard Young was awarded first place with “The Voice of Liberty , and Ther-man Harris, second place. Lucy Maki with “The Ruggles' Dinner Party won first place in the humorous readings, and second honors went to Ruth Curry. Page Seventy-three THE HEMATITE 1926 UOT CA _ A f T' W HAVV T lC. OOI_A JAC YONV SO� SY Page Seventy-four THE HEMATITE 1926 THE “I” CLUB A YEAR ago the “I ” Club was started, and at the end of each football and basket ball season new members have been added. Only letter men are eligible to join the club. A candidate for entrance must have won his letter in one of the major sports, football, baseball, basket ball and track. Because there are no facilities for baseball and track, only football and basket ball letter-men are considered. A candidate must go through an impressive initiation before he is admitted, after which he is given the emblem of the club, an attractive pin with a white official block letter “I” upon a red background, in keeping with the school colors. A member in good standing at the time of his graduation receives a lifetime pass to the games in the sport in which he won his letter. He is an honored.guest of the school. The purpose of the club is to keep the athletes together after the sport season is over and to keep alive the spirit of co-operation and good fellowship that is in evidence on the athletic field. The club advocates clean sportsmanship and fair play. At several of the basket ball games the club handled the sale of refreshments in an efficient manner, the proceeds being deposited in the club treasury. The social life of the club has not been neglected. The club and their guests enjoyed a sleigh ride to Bessemer and during the spring of the first year a picnic at Lake Superior. It is planned to make these two affairs annual events. The organization is sponsored by the two coaches, Mr. Black and Mr. Newcomb. Clarence Johnson is president, Cazmer Zambrovitz is vice-president, and Arthur Hakenen is secretary-treasurer. The school has seen many clubs begin and, after flourishing for a while, die out, but the members of the I” Club firmly believe that their organization will continue to justifv its existence and win a permanent place in the life of the school. —A. II. Page Seventy-five THE HEMATITE 1926 THE HEMATITE 192B GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE Girls’ Glee Club was organized last September under the sponsorship of Air Bohlke. Fifty-four girls were selected from the group of candidates. The following girls were elected officers: Lucy Alaki, president; later suc- ceeded by Wilma Rusbolt; Selma Ladin, secretary and treasurer; Doris Savage, librarian; and Jean Blackwell, assistant librarian. The Glee Club made its first public appearance when it gave its Christmas program at the Alemorial Building. It also sang at the dedication exercises on February 5th. The Glee Club gave several programs before the Friday morning assemblies. In April the Girls' Glee Club, together with the Boys' Glee Club, gave an operetta, “The Bells of Beau;o!ais' which was a decided success. The club also took part in a successful concert together with the band. Laura Johnson has been the accompanist for the club. —S. B. L.

THE HEMATITE—1926 BOYS’ GLEE CLUB THE Bovs’ Glee Club completed a verv successful year in spite of the fact that very few turned out for it at first. Only four or five members from last year’s club were back, so there was great difficulty in getting started. The club finallv got under way during the first of the second semester. Although the start was late, the boys made up for it by practicing every Tuesday morning for forty minutes. Each and every member of the club exerted himself to the utmost in the production of “The Bells of Beaujolais”, and made it the huge success of the year. Besides this the boys sang for programs and assemblies throughout the entire year. Much credit is due to Mr. Boyd Bohlke, instructor, through whose untiring efforts the club has been successful, and to Yvonne Jacquart and Laura Johnson who have been very capable and helpful accompanists. Here’s to next year’s group! May they carry on as did the club of 1926. L. Y.

With only three members of the original band reporting last fall, the band has steadily practiced until it has again reached a high degree of efficiency. Although this is the third season for the band, one should not expect it to be perfect. Each year graduation has taken from 15 to 20 of the advanced players thus reducing the band to a practically new organization each fall. This continual drain upon the band will not be overcome until new material is started down in the grades. Even with such a handicap material for next fall will be more plentiful than at any time before. The band played at all the football and basket ball games. It took part in the L. L. Wright High School dedication exercises and also entertained the students at one of their weekly assemblies. A special band entertained theater-goers by playing at the Rex Theater during the presentation of “Little Annie Rooney”. All in all, the band may be said to have enjoyed a successful year.

Increase Sportsmanship and Courtesy. 3. Boost School Activities. 4. Encourage Proper Use of Our New High School. rhe staff has put out two special issues. The first was an eight-page Christmas feature in which there was printed Christmas stories, poems, and other appropriate articles. Ihe second special came out just before the dedication of the new high school. In this one, there was an effort made to collect all the interesting accounts in connection with the old school and its surroundings. The paper is well supported bv the senior high and a few copies are sold to the junior high and to alumni. The staff wishes to thank Mr. High and the Athletic Association for their support through ads, and the Student Patrol and all others connected with the selling end, for their wonderful response in selling the paper. —J.

Until this year its duties were restricted to football and basket hall games hut with the opening of the new school its usefulness has been extended. Early in the school year the students elected a representative from every home room, and the patrol was reorganized under the direction of a captain and two lieutenants. The patrol has been useful in various ways during the past year and we hops to make it a permanent organization The purpose of the patrol is as follows: I. To keep order and control admission at school activities. 1. To collect tickets. 2. To keep order at parties, etc., hv sending away loiterers or boisterous guests. 3. To act as ushers at school programs anti gatherings when required. II. To maintain order in and about the building by 1. Calling attention to carelessness or defacing of school property, such as marking on walls, desks, and tampering with ink-bottles and corks. 2. Calling attention to carelessness or throwing waste about. 3. Watching to see that lockers are not tampered with. 4. Watching washrooms to see that there is no loitering. III. To assist in sales and solicitation in respective home rooms for support of any desirable movement. IV. To act as reception committee bv 1. Receiving visiting teams and seeing that they are cordially treated. 2. Insuring transportation of visiting teams to and from games and railroad stations. 3. Showing courtesy to strangers in the building. PATROL MEMBERS TOP ROW: Walter Winn, Arne Nelmark, Clarence Johnson, Wynand Nieuwenkamp.

Wright High School a handsome trophy, to be known as The School Spirit Cup. Mr. High’s purpose in presenting this trophy to the school was to encourage a better spirit among the various classes comprising the student body, and to create a desire to do better work, show greater responsibility, and do every thing in their power to produce a feeling of harmony throughout the school. The Student Council of 1924-1925 recommended the following items upon which the committee should base their award. 1. Improvement in Scholarship. 2. Participation in School Activities. 3. Attendance 4. Punctuality. 5. General Discipline. 6. Promptness in Paying Class Dues. The awarding of this trophy was left to a committee of teachers, who were in no wav connected with individual groups or classes, as sponsors or advisors. This committee during 1924-1925 consisted of Mr. Hanson, Chairman, Miss Miller. Miss O’Connor, Mr. Croft, anil Mr. Abercrombie. The cup was won in 1925 by the graduating class, closely followed bv the present Si group. The feeling of rivalry ran high, as the classes were given opportunity to present their classes for the cup at quarterly assemblies. So far tins year three assemblies have been held, at which the following speakers have presented the claims of their respective classes for the cup: Leonard Young, S3, Arthur Pearse, S2, and Billy Conley, Si. 1 lie committee which has the awarding of the cup this year consists of Miss Miller, Miss O'Connor, Mr. Quarters, Mr. Cramlet. and Mr. Abercrombie, Chairman. Although this trophy is comparatively new, added interest is being shown each year, and it is hoped that a much more decided school spirit will develop among the classes, and in the entire school. Page Eighty-three THE HEMATITE—1926 Page Eighty-four THE HEMATITE—1926 THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY -GLASS OF ’25 THE Luther L. Wright High School obtained its charter from the National Honor Society in March 1922. Since that time a limited number of students have been elected to this organization from each graduating class. The objects of the organization, as set forth in its constitution, are “to create 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. Wright High School.” Certainly the five boys and seven girls elected to membership in the National Honor Society from the class of ’25 were deserving of this high honor, all of them qualifying in scholarship, service, leadership, and character, as set forth in the constitution. —K.

Page Eighty-five THE HEMATITE 1926 Page Eighty-six THE HEMATITE 1926 STUDENT COUNCIL THE Student Council of 1925-26 showed real progress in building on the splendid foundation laid by the first council elected the previous year, a student organization which may have real value in co-operation with the administration toward a more effective school. To this end the work undertaken covered a wider range of activity than that of the first year. Thus, at the very beginning, it was evident that there was a real opportunity for providing assistance in insuring a smoothly running school. For this purpose the Student Patrol was organized under the general direction of the Council, with specific duties. Developing an earlier suggestion of Mr. High, the Council instituted Friday afternoon dances. The nominal charge of five cents admission put a fund at the disposal of the Council which made it possible to avoid collection when it was desirable to send flowers to homes in times of sorrow, and which gave the Council a bit of freedom in expressing the sentiment of the school on other fitting occasions. Incidental beginners’ dances also served their purpose in removing some of the bashfulness of the more timid. The disposal of “lost and found” articles was also put in charge of the Council, thus relieving the office force, and securing system in returning property to owners. During the year letters were sent in appreciation of acts of kindness, such as those of the city administration in improving the athletic field and providing traffic and police regulation, as well as acts of individuals in donating use of trucks to carry players, and the like. The Council continued its direction of the award of the School Spirit Cup, and again chose the judges, exercising due care to see that none was directly connected with any class. Under the sponsorship of the members of the Council, a cheer club was organized. Due to the fact that the completion of the bleachers for the gymnasium was delayed, this club had small opportunity to make a real contribution. The idea, however, should be further developed next year. During the year the Council continued its direction of the assemblies, with the arrangement of programs in the hands of a different committee each semester. These programs were of a pleasant educational nature and utilized, so far as possible, good school talent. Less definite but ever more important was the frank discussion about school policies and problems, which promoted better understanding between the students and the administration. This is the phase of the work which offers probably the greatest possibility for future development. The S3 members of the Student Council are: Arthur Hakenen, President; Leona Kroppe; Julia Hydar; Arvid Anderson. The S2 members are: Donald West; Frances Holemo; J. D. Reid, Secretary. The SI members are: James Inch, Evelyn Marie Olson.

THE HEMATITE 1926 THE HEMATITE 1926 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE Girls’ Athletic Association is a newly organized club in the Luther L. Wright High School. I his club was organized to promote all athletic activities and sports which should be a part of every girl’s life, and to create for each girl the ideals of a true sportswoman. In order to be eligible a girl must earn one hundred and twenty-five points in two or more sports. When she has earned a thousand points she is given an “I”, the highest reward possible. However she is entitled to wear the G. A. A. pin when she has half the quota, and by playing in three class tournaments she is entitled to her class numerals. This association is governed by an executive board, which is composed of all the officers and the sport managers. These sport managers are nominated at the close of each sport season and their duties are to have charge of all things pertaining to that particular sport. The nominees for sport managers together with the officers are elected at the close of each school year. 1 his year the G. A. A. has sponsored a volley ball tournament, in which the freshmen came out victorious, a basketball tournament, and a baseball tournament. Up to the present time the following sports are or have been open to any girl in this high school: volley ball, basketball, baseball, skating, hiking, skiing, swimming, and dancing. These sports are sponsored by the C. A.A., but girls do not have to belong to the club to be able to participate in any one of them. We, therefore, extend a heartv invitation to all the girls in the high school to take part in any sport in which thev may be interested. —E. B. Page Eighty-nine THE HEMATITE—1926 GIRLS’ FRIENDSHIP LEAGUE THE Girls’ Friendship League which includes every girl in the senior high school was started this year by Miss Garrison, dean ot girls. This type of organization is being developed in a number of the better and larger high schools. Its purpose is to encourage a democratic spirit among the girls and such organizations are most valuable in crystallizing public opinion. This League operates through a group of girls known as the Inner Circle and several faculty members. The Inner Circle is made up of those girls who are chairmen of the departments and committees which constitute the League. The League is composed of four departments, namely the Social Service, Vocational, Entertainment, and Personal Efficiency. The faculty sponsors of these departments are respectively’: Miss Hiller and Miss Fauri, Miss Spaulding and Miss Plummer, M iss O’Connor, and Miss Dougan. The committees under the departments are such as may be inferred from the name. The Inner Circle girls are: Wilma Rusbolt, president; Mary lunttila, vice president; Clarine Trethewev, secretary and treasurer; Helia Kangas; Julia Hydar; Leona Kroppe; Mary Jane Rowe; Inez Anderson; Evonne Jacquart; Rose Isaac; Nelmi Simila; Josephine George; Jennie Peterson; Jeannette Barron. By far the Jiiggest activity of the League this year was the Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet given on May 1. With pretty decorations, good food, and an interesting program a friendly spirit prevailed. Other activities were an afternoon coffee, a good health week, programs to aid in vocations, and a tea for the S3 girls and their mothers. Many ph ases of the league work planned have not been carried out this year, but a foundation has been laid for a wider program another year. Page Ninety THE HEMATITE—1926 I . CD H : at kv tt'iiU, r i - o KC _T A Sr?on9 A r ' r iy £ D rf° Page Ninety-one THE HEMATITE—1926 CLUBS The school authorities, recognizing the desirability of a wider range of interests and activities than those offered by the regular curriculum, have urged all students this year to join one of the clubs sponsored bv the faculty members. A number of clubs were organized or renewed from last year. They vary in purpose and in activities, thus permitting each student to choose the club he prefers. The period from 3:45 to 4:15 has been reserved for make-up work and for these outside activities. The Birthday Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Sullivan and Miss Prout, acted as hostesses at parties held each week at their meetings in honor of the member whose birthday was nearest the date of the meeting. This club has afforded the girls some social training as well as fun. Irene Heikkinen is secretary of the club, and Fanny Nelmark is treasurer. 1 he Home Economics Club was renewed under the sponsorship of Miss Emerson. The number of members was greatly increased this vear because the senior girls had no regular classes in home economics, anti wished to have some opportunity to continue the study. 1 he club was organized for the purpose of bringing into closer relationship the school and the home. The club’s president is Anna Anderson, its vice president Aileen Riley, its secretary and treasurer Edith Johnson. The Science Club meets every Friday at 3:45 to discuss scientific topics of interest today. T he club gave a program in one of the Friday morning assemblies to show what wonders can be done in science; movies were arranged by the club to further interest in science. 1 his club is sponsored bv Mr. Huller. Revnold Rintala is president, Mildred Reid vice president, Gordon Palmquist treasurer, J. D. Reid, secretary. 1 he Swimming Club, with Mr. Cramlet as director, meets once a week to practice and to learn the fundamentals of swimming and diving. The members are chosen from the boys in the senior high school. Henry LaBlanc is the secretary of the club. The club room in the high school is used for the meetings of the various clubs. This year there has been very little furniture in the room, but the class of 1925 has established a precedent for other graduating classes by presenting an orthophonic victrola for club use, and it is hoped that succeeding classes will buy some furniture for the room as their class memorials. 1 he class of 1924 hopes to give a picture to be hung in the club room. 1 he club room, however, has already been the scene of many good times. Four days a week it is open to students who take their lunches at school, who are permitted to gather there for dancing, singing, or games. Page Ninety-two THE HEMATITE—1926 Page Ninety-three THE HEMATITE 1926 SOCIETY THE first all-school party was held in the gymnasium on October 30. The decorations were characteristic of Hallowe’en. Each one had to shake hands with a spooky ghost before he could enter. Dancing and games were enjoyed until eleven o’clock; then Wilma Rusbolt, and Mr. Bohlke led a grand march to the lunch table where suckers and apples were served. The high school orchestra played for the dancing. A new stunt was started this year. Matinee dances were given every Friday afternoon after school in the gymnasium. These were very popular with the students because they were so informal. They have given every one a chance to dance and perhaps for that reason there have been fewer class and school parties. The senior 1 class had two parties this year. One was a skating party at the Colonial Ice Rink; the other was a Valentine party which was held in the gymnasium. Doris Savage as the Queen of Hearts”, and Mary Jane Rowe as the “Knave of Hearts” welcomed the guests. After the dancing was over, there was a short program given by members of the class. A very dainty lunch, consisting of heart-shaped cookies and ice cream, was served in the cafeteria at eleven o’clock. 1 he senior 2 class gave a skating party at the Colonial Ice Rink, and in May held the annual Junior Prom in honor of the graduating class. This was a very gorgeous affair, and the gymnasium was beautifully decorated. The senior 3 class had their class party on April 9. The orchestra was made up of members from the senior class. A program which pleased everyone was given during the evening. I he last class event of the school year is the annual senior picnic at which the seniors always agree that “a good time was had bv all”. On February 20, the Inner Circle of the Curls’ Friendship League entertained all the high school girls at a George ashington tea. A short program was given, the girls danced, and lunch was served at five o clock. I he table decorations were made up of cherry trees, hatchets and other things usually associated with George Washington. On April 16 the last all-school party was held. Dancing and card plaving were the main features of the evening. An entertaining program consisting of many dialect numbers and singing was presented, followed by refreshments in the cafeteria. In the first week of May, the Girls’ Friendship League gave a Mother and Daughter Banquet in the cafeteria. I he cafeteria was beautifully decorated in green and white. After the banquet the mothers and daughters enjoyed a short but novel program in the gymnasium. 1 he Girls Friendship League entertained the senior girls and their mothers at a tea in the gymnasium just before commencement. I his was very enthusiastically enjoved by the girls and their mothers. In addition the different clubs and organizations have had various parties, to which only their own members have been admitted. These have found that the cafeteria and gymnasium offer great possibilities in the way of entertainment. —E. R. Page Ninety-four THE HEMATITE 1926 CALENDAR September 6, 1925: School opens.

They had been conducted to the police station. The officer in charge first turned to Bill, inquiring how long he had had the horse. “Ever since it was a colt”, said Bill. Next the officer turned to Kelly, asking how long he had had the cow. “Ever since if was a calf,” replied Kelly. Finally Leonard was asked how long he had had the cart.

Page One Hundred THE HEMATITE—1926 Page One Hundred One THE HEMATITE—1926 HERMAN L. YLVISAKER, PRINCIPAL THE JUNIOR HIGH TO the Junior Highs. Chance or Fate has given a great honor: that of spending the remaining years of high school life in the handsome, new Luther L. Wright High School. It was with considerable awe and much timidity that we entered upon our work within these splendidly equipped halls of learning. Sympathetic teachers, however, seemed to sense our misgivings; indeed, with the fine, generous personality' of Mr. Ylvi-saker as a guiding force, we were presently at ease and adjusted to our new school. The grades comprising the Junior High this year are the largest numerically in the history of the Iron wood schools. Numbering as we do somewhat over 880 boys and girls, it has not been an easy task to make us a working unit. This was due principally to the fact that we came into the Junior High School from four different schools. Many of us were complete strangers to each other and being in the new high school building for the first year, we were what you might call strangers in a strange land. The classwork of the Junior High has been very satisfactory, as the honor roll each five weeks has gained in its number of names. The organization and support of the numerous clubs proves that there is fine co-operation. The pupils have shown great pride in their new building by helping to keep it in the very best condition. While we. as a Junior High, have done nothing this year to distinguish ourselves especially, we expect to do big things later on, and what probably indicates the greatest promise for our future success is our splendid class spirit. Watch out for the classes of 1929, 1950. and 1951.

John Serbin John’s main asset is floorwork. He is good in both floorwork and passing. Ambrose Wyzlic Abe” is Junior High pivot man. He is known by his height and also by his good basket shooting. Abe’ fits well in Junior High offense. Leonard Larson Although playing guard position, his ability to work in an offense helps to bring the Junior High to victory. Oliver iMoren Oliver is a good guard, showing judgment in breaking up plays. His height aids him in getting the ball from his opponents. The Junior High team was not defeated during the season of 1926. 1 he two strongest opponents it had were the Red Devils’ second team and the Bessemer upper classmen. Bessemer was defeated by a score of 10 to 7. The man who deserves credit for putting the team into shape and developing the teamwork was Coach Loren D. Campbell. He has spent many laborious hours with the boys so that they might win.

Page One Hundred Nine THE HEMATITE 1926 TWO GENTLEMEN VISIT THE JUNIOR HIGH DURING THE ACTIVITY PERIOD MR. Pickwick and Mr. Snodgrass were walking down Aver Street one afternoon in March. Mr. Pickwick adjusted his muffler more securely about his neck. “Brisk day, Mr. Snodgrass!” “Too brisk, sir, for me. Did you ever see so much snow at this time of the year? Spring, did you say, Mr. Pickwick? Bah!” The weather was a sore point with Mr. Snodgrass, and Mr. Pickwick endeavored to divert his attention. “Observe that magnificent building we are about to pass, Mr. Snodgrass. It is the new Luther L. Wright High School.” “It appears very new,” observed Mr. Snodgrass. “Is there anything in it?” I have a capital idea!” exclaimed Mr. Pickwick. Let us find out what’s in it.” “It is now ten minutes of four. Mr. Snodgrass hesitated, but Mr. Pickwick, without waiting for a reply, took him jovially by the arm and marched him up to the front entrance. They reached the main corridor, panting a little from their climb. Mr. Pickwick wiped his steaming eye glasses and gazed with awe about him. “A palace, Snodgrass! A palace, I repeat,” exclaimed Mr. Pickwick beginning to move down the corridor to the left. “What do you say to entering this classroom, Mr. Snodgrass? If it is Latin, I am in my element. ‘Veni, vidi, vici.’ Don’t you remember?” “I do not,” said Mr. Snodgrass. Nevertheless, Mr. Pickwick pushed him gently into (he room. Miss Dunlop hastened to the two strange gentlemen and greeted them with Won’t you sit down? This is the Cartoon Club.” Mr. Snodgrass looked at one of the drawings a boy was beginning. Clever, very clever,” he remarked. Ho, ho, what an absurd face! And that little tuft under the chin like a billy goat’s! Who is it, boy?” The young artist grinned in embarrassed silence. “Is it I?” asked Mr. Snodgrass, darkly. “It is I,” thundered Mr. Snodgrass in a rage. “Mr. Pickwick, let us leave at once!” Mr. Pickwick followed his friend out of the room and tried to placate him, but the noise that irate gentleman made with his cane could be heard anywhere. “Sh-sh, Mr. Snodgrass, I beg of you! Here is a small lad with a silver star on his breast coming toward us. He seems to walk with authority. “Anything you want?” asked Ivar Johnson briskly. I’m on the Junior High Patrol. Take you around, if you wish.” Page One Hundred Ten THE HEMATITE—1 926 “We would be delighted,” said Mr. Pickwick. “You say you are one of the Patrol. And what are your duties, sir, may I ask?” “Oh,” replied Ivar, with a shrug. “We keep the halls clean of paper and we tell people not to lean against the walls.” (Mr. Pickwick straightened himself with alacrity) “No running there!” called Ivar suddenly to a small urchin whisking around a corridor. He turned to Mr. Pickwick. “It’s hardest to keep them from running,” he said. It would be,” replied Mr. Pickwick with a twinkle in his eye. of the Junior Patrol, we shall follow you wherever you lead.” ‘And now, member Classes are over,” explained Ivar. Mr. Pickwick’s face fell visibly. “Over?” “—But the activity period has just begun,” went on the boy. “Ah, said Mr. Pickwick, “Mr. Snodgrass, let us proceed.” So the trio visited the Poetry Club and Mr. Pickwick sat down at once and composed a really remarkable sonnet to a dandelion. Miss Cudlip read it before the members of the club and Mr. Pickwick beamed with pleasure. “What are those boys examining so intently?” asked Mr. Snodgrass, as Ivar opened the door of the cafeteria a few minutes later. brightening, “Activity is a word I have always liked. “Checker Club,” Ivar answered. “They are having a tournament, I guess. Tell you what, let’s call on the Riders of the Kitchen Range.” “An amazing school!” ejaculated Mr. Pickwick. “Where are the horses kept?” Ivar laughed. “It’s a camp cooking club. All boys, and you can eat the pancakes they make,” lie boasted. Before the acticity period had closed, Mr. Pickwick and Mr. Snodgrass had peeped into the Cdobe Trotters, The Busy Weavers, Stitch a Bit Club, The Housekeepers, The Red Quill, and the Public Speaking Club. The Nereids, whose motto is, “Swim, not sink,” splashed Mr. Snodgrass’s waistcoat. And of course Mr. Pickwick had the misfortune to get lost. He wandered into the gymnasium where little girls in pink cheese cloth danced around him, and then pretended that they were Miss Muffets and that Mr. Pickwick was the spider. “You’ve missed a lot,” said Ivar regretfully when the dismissal bell rang. “We didn’t get to the Mathematics Club, The Busy Bees, The Boys’ Athletic Club, The Dramatic Club, or the Press Club which puts out the school paper called “Pepper”. And there are the Hexagons and the Student Council its an honor to belong to them. Do you hear that singing upstairs?

IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN Page One Hundred Thirty-four THE HEMATITE 1926 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 homeless 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.

Where Do You Buy Clothes? You can get good clothes in any one of a number of stores. You can get more than good clothes in this store; and the “more” you get is worth a good deal; maybe more than the clothes. It doesn’t cost you anything to get it, and when you do get it, you’ll like it. Our idea in this store is that we are here to be of service to men who want the best quality in the things they wear Selling merchandise is important to us, naturally; but it is less important than serving and satisfying a customer. Serving means more than “waiting on” you; so far as we are concerned it is much deeper than that. It is a desire on our part to see that you get the best we have, in whatever merchandise you want; to give our time and thought to helping you buy, rather than to trying to sell something. We’re trying to make it a store different from any other, we guarantee satisfaction with what we sell, and what we do. THE HUB Hedlund Haapoja Co. Ironwood, Mich.
