You say you would like to see the grand pageantry of past history? I can show you such deeds as will never be your fortune to witness again. Would you like to see the story of my high school class—the grand class of 28? Look quickly now. See you that patch of green? That represents our class when we were freshmen, who, upon arriving into the old high school building, were filled with trepidation, which feeling was aggravated by the brassy stares of the upper classmen and the rickety stairs of the structure itself. See those signs of popcorn and buttered thumbs. Ah, they bring back memories of our first class party, a glorious Christmas celebration held in the home economics building. We immediately won prominence by leading all the other classes in the Hematite sale. Our debut in Thespian art was The Dusty Road , a play which gave us added prestige in the eyes of our seniors. Tony Spera had the distinction of winning a place on the basketball team that year. To our great joy (but not to our surprise) we were awarded second place in the race for the School Spirit Cup. But more of that later. In our one short year in the old building, we had become attached to the place and were loathe to leave it to the mercies of the workmen. The next year saw us in the beautiful new high school. When we became sophomores, we were cheated out of the holy right to initiate the freshmen because they were no longer a part of the senior high. In reality, we were again at the bottom of 134] the heap, but we soon proved that we were destined for higher things. Look you now! A cage do you see? That recalls our famous play, A Box of Monkeys”, which kept the school chattering for weeks. See you that clown on skates? We had two parties that year. One was a skating party held at the Colonial Ice Rink; the other was a Valentine party. Oliver Nelson and Tony Spera were the only sophs on the basketball team. The crystal revolves. Our junior year now presents itself. How proud we were to be among the upper classmen! I remember the wonderful party we had that year. Our Prom was a success from every standpoint. A Lucky Break” was our very successful junior play. Our senior year was, of course, the climax of our school history. See those cunning Valentine dance programs? They suggest our senior class party, the most successful social entertainment we had ever had. That party proved that we were maintaining the same standard of pep that had won for us the cherished cup in our sophomore year. Do you see that miniature Santa Claus? He appeared on our Christmas program, which brought a great deal of favorable comment from everyone who saw it. We were first in paying our class dues and first in the sale of season football and basketball tickets. Slowly the vision fades. Our four years in high school were like a glorious dream. Prom prattling, immature freshmen to dignified seniors, we had a lifetime of experiences. The happiness was alloyed with tears, but these only made the joys more outstanding.” THE SENIOR CLASS PARTY [35| A Carniual in 1938 A midnight lunch of dill pickles and ice cream, and the evening newspaper—ah, that was comfort! I dozed as I read, World's Largest Carnival to Visit Ironwood”. The vision of a huge tent squatted in the sun, and about it, in the shadows, stood the smaller tents of the show. I joined the crowd about the main tent. See the world's tallest man and his wife, once four feet six inches tall, now nine-feet nine and one-half inches. shouted the crier, whom I recognized to be no other than Marlon DeTuncq. He drew aside a curtain, disclosing Russell Beddow and Ida Sher. The midgets were then presented in the persons of Evelyn Wester and Henry Jackson. The world's best known living skeleton, John Abraham, and the fat woman, Svea Chailquist, stepped on the platform next. In a far corner I spied an armless and legless man. Curiosity led me to the spot, and I saw it was Leonard Eklund. When no one was looking, he shook hands with me through a slit in his coat. Just then a policeman saw him, and ran up shouting Fake”, and would have arrested Leonard, but he recognized him as an old classmate. He introduced himself as Officer Willis Riley, husband of Elizabeth Trezise, and proud father of twins, Betty and Billie. Leaving Willis and Leonard talking of old times, I passed into the next tent featuring Hawaiian dancers. Beryl McDonald, Babe Farney, and Gladys Voyce comprised the group, which was led by Mauno Heiskanen in grass costume, who danced and sang, Haste thee, nymphs! After a few words with the girls, I passed on into the next tent, where I met Lois Burrell. She had married Walfred W. Johnson, and was well informed on the doings of a large number of our former classmates. Isobel O'Donnell, she said, was an interior decorator (of stomachs) ; Dorothy Hassinen was a dietitian. She favored indulgence in pastries and light wines. Pickles and John Osterman were serving prison sentences as a result of a too heated argument as to which one was the taller; Jack Solin was the world's greatest violinist (especially noted for his tuneless tunes) ; Tony Spera was the president of the Icemen's League; and Inez Anderson had won a million dollar marathon talking contest by talking 555 hours without cessation; Doris Savage and Lefty Pearson were co-starring in a movie production entitled When a Woman Marries”, portraying the trials of a modem woman with a too popular husband; William Ketola was engaged as a professional dancer at the Ritz in New York. He sure could shake a mean hoof! As Lois and I discussed the fates of our old classmates, we turned our steps toward the next tent which bore the name of M. Houdini, Magician . We entered and found Russell Pakonen clothed in flowing robes of red and green, and wearing a yellow turban. He was performing feats of magic. He changed eggs to diamonds, and diamonds to cheese, and cheese to wood, and finally the wood into a big box. Then facing the audience, he spoke in a deep, solemn voice, adjuring them to watch him closely. Then he waved his hand over the empty box saying, at the same time, Hocus pocus! and out of the box jumped our littlest senior, Senia Anderson, followed by 136] Catherine Viher, Mildred McCrossen, June Wicklund, Ivy May, Gladys Johnson, Ruth Curry and Mary Jane Rowe. Again the magician turned to us and told us to watch him carefully. Once more he waved his hand, and behold, all the girls were changed to white mice, which immediately scampered out of sight into the box. Then the magician bowed and announced that his performance for the day was over. Reluctantly, I turned to the other end of the tent where 'Bluie Bluie” stood surrounded by a large crowd. He ate fire, walked on tacks, and lay down on sword points. I thought he looked familiar, but it was not until he faced me squarely, that I knew him to be Addison Diorio. I asked him why he wasn't doing stenographic work, and he told me that he always broke his finger nails when he operated a typewriter, and therefore, preferred to do this safer and easier type of work. When I questioned him about his old friends he told me that Alfred D'Antonio was working in grand opera— scrubbing stage floors. Mike George was working in a glue factory, and stuck pretty well to his job. Osmo Koski operated a rubber ball factory and managed to roll along right. John Lindquist was high hatting everybody. (He manufactured stove pipe hats.) Onni Maki had won the heavy weight championship in boxing. (He was a puncher of time-clocks.) After leaving Addison I wandered into the next tent featuring freaks. This tent was divided into booths. In the first were the Siamese twins, Mabel Medlyn and Alice Berryman. Their heads were joined together and I remembered that even in high school, they always had their heads together in whispered conversation. In the next booth there was a man with two heads. Imagine my horror to see him to be none other than Jimmie Inch. But he always had had enough brains to fill two heads. In the third booth was a lady with a donkey's head. I knew it was Mildred Young when she gave me a knowing wink and a hee haw. As I gazed at her I groaned aloud, and she laughed and whispered, That's pretty good!” It was—but by this time my nerves were so badly shattered by the uncouth appearance of so many of my beloved classmates, that I fainted. I came to just in time to prevent a physician from giving me some kino of questionable looking medicine. I didn't care to be buried as any doctor's mistake, not even Dr. Billy Conley's—for that was who it was. At his side was a pretty nurse, Evelyn Marie Olson, who, I was told, was soon to become Mrs. Conley. My former classmates’ pitiable condition so overwhelmed me with grief that I could no longer bear to look upon them; therefore, I turned my steps homeward. Before I had gone far 1 met Francelle Turner and Abie Wyzlic, who were spending their honeymoon on the carnival grounds. I had stopped to speak with them, when Lionel Jacquart, owner of the carnival, rushed up to me and grabbed me by the arm and tried to drag me away with him, crying, Just what we're looking for! A bearded lady! I'll pay you twenty dollars a week. Come on!” 'Me, a bearded lady!” I shrieked in terror, and put my hand to my chin to feel there a soft warm fuzz. I tore at it, and to my relief it came away. I looked at it. It was only my pet kitten rubbing against my chin. Then, and only then, I realized that I had been asleep, and that my classmates were not the horrible deformities that I had seen only a few seconds before. I have since sworn off pickles and ice cream. [37] Class IDill KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That we, the seniors of the Luther L.

REID Salutatorian 1927 [39] [40] JUNIORS VIOLET RINTALA BRUCE MCGILL WALFRED JOHNSON Secretary and Treasurer President Vice President Class History Let us go back to the first clays of out high school career. We entered the Senior High as sophomores. Although we felt quite inferior to our upper classmates, in due time we proceeded to show them that we were an important factor in the school life. Several boys won places that year on the football and basketball squads. The annual sophomore party was a crowning success. Great honor was brought to the class when Edith J. Oilman's poem was accepted as the school song. As juniors we took our places more naturally among the elders of the school. In the basketball ticket sale we came in second, giving the seniors a close run for the honor. Again, several of our boys made the football and basketball squad. A successful party was held in December. The class play, The Charm School”, proved to be very different from any other play given by the school and was well received. The biggest event of our junior year, of course, was the annual Prom in June, which closed our career as juniors. Next year we shall be the seniors and we fully appreciate the enviable privilege that will be ours, and we are determined to live up to, and better, the record of our predecessors.

THE JUNIOR PLAY THE CHARM SCHOOL SOPHOMORES DONAI.D QUADE WALDO SILBERG AUDREY ANDERSON Secretary and Treasurer President Vice President Sophomore Class History We, the class of 1930, entered the Senior High as green as the proverbial freshman, but with a determination to make a name for ourselves. We began the year by being the first sophomore class in the history of the school to pay their class dues 100 per cent. The class was well represented at the all-school party and our class party on December second, an overall and gingham apron party, was the most successful one of the year. The sophomores, under a capable captain, won the class basketball tournament. When the Hematite drive ended, the sophomores had the highest per cent of books sold. A sophomore girl won the health contest conducted by the physical education department, and second place also was awarded a sophomore. One of the class is a star both on the football gridiron and on the basketball court, while we have three subs on the basketball squad. A sophomore girl and a sophomore boy were nominated as two of the best all-round sports in the school. Many sophomore names have appeared on the Honor Roll and the Special Mention List regularly and four or five names have appeared every month. Now, with two years ahead of us and an enlarged experience behind us, we expect to better this record in the years to come. TUT Top Row: Joe Staszek, Walter Schaus. Gunnard Stenbeck, Joe Yancisin.

With these three men and several others who were noc wholly without experience, Coaches Black and Newcomb hoped to build a formidable eleven. The battle between the Red Devils and the Alumni was hard fought, and the outcome was in doubt until the last quarter, when a lone touchdown gave the high school a 6-2 victory. On the following Saturday Washburn came to Ironwood, and the Red Devils avenged last year's defeats in basketball by piling up the overwhelming score of 173-0. The next week the Ironwood team journeyed to Iron Mountain and lost 18-0. Iron Mountain had hoped to hold the Red Devils to a low score, but when the game ended, Iron Mountain found itself in possession of an unexpected but well earned victory, the result of the over-confidence of the Red Devils as well as good playing on the part of Iron Mountain. A week later we dedicated our new stadium, one of the finest in the state. In a great game, in which Ironwood staged a wonderful reversal of form, the Red Devils held the Menominee High to a 6-6 tie. On October 15, Bessemer invaded the city with the strongest team in several years and high hopes of defeating Ironwood. The largest crowd in the history of the school watched Bessemer yield to the terrific onslaught of the Red Devils, and Ironwood gained another victory by a score of 15-0. Ironwood seemed to have at last found her stride, and on the two successive Saturdays easily defeated Hancock and Wakefield by the scores of 58-0 and 59-0 respectively. On November 5 came the intersectional battle with the strong Waite High team at Toledo, Ohio. The loyal supporters of the team showed their enthusiasm by giving the boys a rousing send-off. On Saturday afternoon, when the battle began, the Red Devils showed the strain of the long trip and by the middle of the second quarter, Waite had scored three touchdowns. Then the Ironwood team seemed to get their bearings and battled Waite to a standstill the remainder of the game. In the final quarter Ironwood took the ball on her own three yard line and carried it 97 yards for the first touchdown that an opponent had scored in the Waite Bowl in two years. The final score was 20-6 against us, but the banner of the Ironwood High School had not been trailed in the dust. With the defeat of Superior Central by a score of 6-0, on the twelfth of last November, Ironwood brought to a close one of the most eventful seasons in the history of the school.

His weight and aggressiveness made him a power both on offense and on defense. He is the last of the three Johnson brothers to fight for Ironwood on the gridiron. As Waif red was one of Ironwood's best tackles, it will be hard to fill his place. FRANK RUPNICK—Guard and Fullback-Junior Frank started the year as fullback, but was shifted to guard, where his work was of the highest calibre. Later in the season Frank was shifted again to fullback which should he his regular position next year. Because of his charging power and deadly tackling he he should be an outstanding man next season. ONNI MAKI—Tackle—Senior Onni made a splendid playing mate for Captain Johnson. He was a real shock absorber on defense and an irresistible force on offense; he was always in the thick of the fight, and was one of the most dependable men on the team. With his splendid punting he pulled Ironwood out of many a tight place. JOHN OSTF.RMAN—Quarterback—Senior Bum played a good game at end last year, hut this year he was shifted to the quarterback position where he played like a veteran. He was a charger and the hardest tackier that Ironwood has had for many a year. Too bad that John won't be back next year. [62] JOHN KAPECZ—Fullback—Senior Jack, playing his first and last year as fullback. showed remarkable skill in backing uo the line on defense and proved a terrific charger. A dependable man always, he was ever in the thick of the battle. ALEX MICHALSKI—Halfback—Junior This was Polly’s” second year in the back-field, and he always played a stellar game. A better line-plunger and field-runner would be hard to find. When ground was to be gained. Ironwood only had to call on Polly” and he delivered the goods. He was our most effective ground-gainer against Toledo. Next year Polly should be an outstanding player on the team. OLIVER NELSON—Halfback—Senior Persistency, thou art a jewel.” Handicapped by lack of weight. Pickles plugged away on the second team for three years, but this year, because of his splendid tackling and ball carrying, Pickles's” playing was a feature of every game. A little man. but made of the right kind of stuff! That is Pickles”. JOHN SERBIN—End and Half—Junior John’s first year at football proved him a good ground-gainer. He was especially adept at returning punts, and running the ends. His spectacular playing at Superior put fear and admiration into the Superior fans as well as players. Next year Jack will be one of the mainstays of the team. I 63] AMBROSE WYZLIC—Captain elect—Junior This was Abie’s” first year as a regular center, but he played the position like a veteran. He made very few had passes during the year. He was a good man on both defense and on offense, and time after time was uncannily clever at intercepting passes. MARLON DETUNCQ End and Fullback Senior Marlon was a general utility man, playing either at end or in the back field with remarkable skill. He always turned in a creditable game when called upon. His long gains in the Toledo and Superior games are proof of his ability to aid the team. LEO MOLENDA—Lineman—Junior Leo played every position in the line and played each well. An injury in the Iron Mountain game kept him out of several games, but with this year’s experience Leo ought to be hard to stop next year. RUDOLPH LANDRETTI End—Senior Rudolph is one of the best ends seen here in many years. Very few gains were made around his end. His alertness and deadly tackling were heart-rending to the opponents. May we have more football players of his type. STEVE BAILEY—Guard—Junior Although this was Steve’s first year on the team, he played a wonderful game throughout the season. His playing improved with each succeeding game. He was especially effective in the Toledo game. Watch him next year. [641 Interclass Basketball The interclass basketball tournament, which was held before the opening of the regular basketball season, roused great interest in the student body and each class boasted of its wonderful team. In the first game of the tournament the scrappy sophomores defeated the freshmen by a score of 14 to 8. In the second game the senior team defeated the juniors, who won the championship last year, by a score of 16 to 13. The final game proved the Waterloo of the great senior team, for the sophomores won by a score of 14-13. The main purpose of this tournament is to develop material for the high school team. It also promotes school spirit and gives every fellow a chance to show what he can do in the way of basketball. Intramural Basketball During the basketball season the sophomore, junior, and senior home rooms took part in a basketball tournament, which aroused even more enthusiasm than the Interclass Basketball Tournament did. Every boy who was not out for the school team was eligible. The championship of the sophomore was won by Miss Moehlenkamp's home room; the junior championship was won by Miss Janet Goudies room; and the senior high point team represented Miss Miller's room. In the final between the champions of the respective classes, after the junior champions had defeated the sophomores, they in turn were defeated by the seniors. Thus Miss Miller's home room was awarded the cup. |65j BASKETBALL TEAM Reuieu; of the Basketball Season On March 16th, at the tournament at Marquette, the Iron wood High School basketball team ended a very successful season, having won fifteen games and lost only two. From a mediocre start the Red Devils fought their way to a position among the leading contenders for the title. Coach Black had only three men from last year's team as a nucleus at the start of the season, and finished with an efficient machine which lost only one scheduled game, copped the Class B championship of District 30 in the tournament, and then entered the U. P. tournament as one of the strongest offensive and defensive machines that the Ironwood High School has put out. On December 16 the opening game of the season was played with the strong Washburn team. The Red Devils were determined to get revenge for the two defeats in basketball last year and defeated Washburn by a score of 24-19. The following week Ironwood played and easily defeated the Alumni team by the one-sided score of 27-9. On January 7 the Superior team visited Ironwood. This game proved to be a close and thrilling game from beginning to end, and neither team could claim the game until the final whistle blew. The score was 14-13 in favor of Ironwood. The following Wednesday the Red Devils journeyed to Wakefield and, by playing two over-time periods, defeated the strong Wakefield squad 16-14. This was one of the scrappiest games that the Red Devils played all season, and the old Ironwood fighting spirit plus exceptional playing led Ironwood to victory. On Thursday, January 12, the Iron Mountain fans saw the Ironwood squad upset the dope and defeat the local team 23-20. On the following Friday night Crystal Falls, coached by the famous Eddie Chambers, invaded Ironwood, but was defeated 14-13.

The following Wednesday night our old friend Bessemer traveled confidently to Ironwood, and was defeated by a decisive score of 23-11 in one of the best games of the season. On January 28 Ironwood scored its eighth victory in a slow game with Marquette. The final score was 16-12. February 1 was a sad day for Ironwood when Wakefield, on our own court, handed us our first defeat of the season, 19-13. The following week Ironwood met Bessemer, on the latter's court, and in a desperately fought game, defeated her old rival by the close score of 22-21. On February 17 and 18, the Red Devils journeyed to Negaunee and Ishpeming and defeated them by the respective scores of 38-34 and 25-24. The last game of the scheduled season brought us victory over Iron Mountain by the score of 27-18. In the district tournament at Crystal Falls the following week, the Red Devils met and defeated Crystal Falls 28-27 and Stambaugh 31-23, winning the trophy awarded to district champions. In the U. P. tournament at Marquette, after defeating Stambaugh by a score of 19-17, Ironwood was eliminated from the race by Iron Mountain 16-25. The season of 1928 was ended for Ironwood's representatives by the team which won the Class B state championship. 167] 1 Club The school I club was organized several years ago and has become one of the most popular clubs in school. The purpose of the club is to strive for clean athletics, to develop a strong spirit of loyalty to the high school, and to promote good fellowship among the boys who have fought side by side on the athletic field of battle. Membership is limited to those boys who have earned their letter in one of the major sports. Initiations are held twice a year, at which time new members are taken into the club. The official emblem of the club is the ten-inch, block letter I , which is cardinal in color. The sponsors of the club are Coaches Black and Newcomb. The members from last year who returned to school this year included Tony Spera, president; John Oster-man, vice president; Rudolph Landretti, secretary-treasurer, Onni Maki, Oliver Nelson, Walfred W. Johnson, Ambrose Wyzlic, and Alex Michalski. This year's new members are John Kapecz, Marlon DeTuncq, Steve Bailey, Leo Molenda, Frank Rupnick, Leonard Larson, and John Serbin. In addition to the new members who were initiated into the club this year, honorary membership was extended to Sam Rutledge, who enrolled in the Ironwood High School the second semester. Sam came to Iron-wood from Sturgis, Michigan, where he was a member of both the football and basketball teams. The I club is a real influence for good in the school. It stresses the importance of the stria observance of the training rules and urges its members to do good class work. A member who becomes ineligible for the team on account of poor class work or violation of training rules is automatically suspended from the club until he again becomes eligible for the team. Those members in good standing at graduation are given complimentary passes to the sport in which their letter was won. Following are the members lost by graduation this year and the sport in which they have won their letter: Walfred Johnson, football; John Osterman, football; John Kapecz, football; Marlon DeTuncq, football; Rudolph Landretti, football; Tony Spera, basketball; Oliver Nelson, football and basketball; Onni Maki, football. 169] Senior High Gymnastic Team The senior tumblers of the Luther L. Wright high school have enjoyed a most successful year. The feats accomplished by this organization have savored of professionalism and have been enjoyed by the high school and the community. The Iron-wood tumblers have met with such marked approval that the place of this team has been insured among the athletic organizations of the school. A dozen programs were given before the school and public during the school year. A regular feature of the basketball games was the tumblers’ exhibition between halves. During the Winter Carnival in February the team broke into the movies and was filmed twice during the festivities. Pictures of the team in action were shown throughout the Northwest where the reputation of the tumblers traveled accordingly. In the Circus of 1927 the tumblers formed the nucleus for the performance, and this event attracted the largest crowd that has ever witnessed an indoor high school athletic event. A large share of the success of this circus goes to the senior tumblers. GYMNASTIC TEAM Top row. Jildo Spera. Herbert Mattson, Luther Swanson, Lloyd Campbell, Melvin Olson, Eugene Jacquart.

The primary purpose of the League is expressed, rather indefinitely, in its name. Its aims are to promote a friendly and democratic spirit among the girls, and to develop each girl's initiative, thus encouraging her to build toward some definite vocation. The League consists of four departments: the Social Service, the Vocational, the Personal Efficiency, and the Entertainment. From the departments, which are divided into committees, chairmen are elected who, together with the sponsors and officers, form the Inner Circle, which is the executive board of the League. This year Miss Hall sponsors the Social Service Department; Miss Wallace the Vocational; and Miss Flatemersch and Miss Prout, the Personal Efficiency Department. Miss Jean Goudie is advisor of the League in general. The biggest event of each year is the Mother and Daughter Banquet. Other activities of this year's League have been two teas given for the teachers and girls of the various classes, the sponsoring of the picture, the Fair Coed, ushering at the operetta, the charity and hospital work done by the Social Service department, the direction of Health Week by the Health Club, and the arrangement by the Vocational Department of talks before the girls of the high school.

[76] The Health Club The Health Club, a branch of the Girls' Friendship League, has a membership of thirty-five girls interested in health work or practical nursing. This year has been the most successful year of its existence. The club has been favored with talks by Dr. Dorpat and several other men connected with health work. A great deal of the credit for the success of Health Week, February 11th to 17th, is due to the Health Club. A brief outline of the program of Health Week is as follows: On Monday a health pantomime was presented in the assembly by members of the club under the direction of Miss Solvsberg. Tuesday was posture tag day, sponsored by the Senior High Leaders' Corps. Examinations for the health contest began on this day, too. Wednesday there was a food display by the Home Economics Club and the lunch box contest was opened. Thursday was shoe tag day, on which day Mr. Thorsen from the Style Shop gave a talk on Shoes as Part of Present Day Health Programs ”, On Friday Dr. Reineking gave a talk on tuberculosis in the general assembly, and the prizes for the Health Contest and the Lunch Box Contest were awarded. Besides managing Health Week the club was and is a constant force for promoting health among the girls of the Friendship League.

The democratic spirit sought in past years has been realized and the group is representative of the best in the school in service to the school and the community. During the year the meetings have been devoted to a variety of subjects: discussions of current boy-problems, lectures on topics which are left untouched by school courses, business and social meetings where open forum is maintained. Every meeting pointed the way to a richer and fuller spiritual and moral life without preaching and moralizing. The motto of this year's work has been: For every good time we have we will help others to have a good time. VCith this in mind the club has given semi-monthly programs at the Grand View Sanitarium, given baskets of food to tne needy, aided the unfortunate in every way possible. In school life Hi-Y has taken its place as a booster of Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship.” It presented a successful program in the assembly and gave a pretty party of ninety couples for the members who did not go to the Older Boys' Conference at the Soo. With the help of the Kiwanis, Rotary, and Commercial Clubs of the city, and of the churches, twenty boys were sent to the annual Older Boys' Conference. The Hi-Y Club has been ably sponsored by Mr. John Quarters, whom the members wish to thank for his friendship and help.

THE ' SOO DELEGATION 181] SENIORS The Playcrafters Every Thursday afternoon, fifty-four young people actively interested in dramatics gather in the activity room. This large group of talented students has had an interesting and successful year. The first play of the season, Easy Payments”, written by Hobart and directed by Miss Dorothy M. Longfield, was presented November 16th at the Memorial Building. The cast included, Ruth Curry, Ted Nolan, Evelyn Olson, Billy Conley, Bobb Shove, Fanny Nelmark, Russel Williams, Charles Keeton, James Winn, Walter Winn, Sylvia Eckman, Willis Riley, Joe Killeen, James Inch, and Isobel O'Donnell. The play was a success in every way. Enter the Hero”, a one-act play by Theresa Helburn, was presented in assembly and before the Drama Club. Billy Conley, Mary Jane Rowe, Doris Savage, and Isobel O'Donnell handled this play in a creditable manner. In The Charm School , presented by the Junior Class, several roles were played by members of the Playcrafters, Ted Nolan, Joe Killeen, Bobb Shove, Marian Watson, Betty Connors, Eleanor Hedlund, Dorothy and Ethel Judd, and Sylvia Eckman who all deserve credit for the work they did in connection with this production. A new scheme was inaugurated this year by Miss Solvsberg, the sponsor. In order to give the members opportunities to appear in more plays and to learn something about play directing, the organization was divided into seven groups, each group working on a one-act play under a student director. The directors were Willis Riley, Lionel Jacquart, Evelyn Marie Olson, Doris Savage, Fanny Nelmark, and Elbert Appleton. One of these [82] JUNIORS plays, Where But in America”, directed by Doris Savage, was presented before the Ironwood Woman s Club. The roles were taken by Inez Anderson, Betty Connors, and Thomas McKevitt. The Playcrafters held a very successful party the week after Easter and in June the annual picnic was held at Lake Superior.

The club has carried out many worth-while ideas and plans. Promotion of school spirit and school activities has been the aim of the club. The advertising of athletic events, dramatics, and club activities received the greatest attention. The Booster Club Bulletin , issued a number of times during the school year, was an innovation which served to increase interest in the various activities advertised. The Boosters' Club was imbued with the idea that Ironwood's schools, athletic teams, and activities are among the best in the Upper Peninsula, and it strove to develop in the student body a corresponding school spirit. The organization of pep meetings and send-offs for the team are examples of work done by this organization. After the football season the Boosters' Club held a dancing party for the grid warriors, the first social event of the year where the team could break training. The membership of this club numbered 25 during the school year. The president chosen by each of the home rooms automatically becomes a member of this club. Several other clubs were invited to have a representative join this organization. James Inch served his second year as president of the Boosters' Club. Eugene Patrick was vice president and John Lindquist, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Kenneth Greene was the faculty sponsor of the organization. BOOSTERS’ CLUB MEMBERS Tou row: Oliver Nelson.

Their first public appearance was made between halves of the Ironwood-Menomonee football game. The next event sponsored by the club was a breakfast served to the entire football squad on their return from Toledo. During the basketball season, the games were advertised by original posters made by the various girls. The climax of the basketball season, as far as arousing spirit, occurred at the Iron Mountain game. The club had charge of all decorations and advertising. During March the Pepomaniacs” gave a minstrel show before the senior high assembly. Because of the originality and the novelty of the show, the performance met with great success. Early in the second semester ten new members were voted into the club. Although the organization is new this year, so much enthusiasm has been aroused that, without a doubt, the club will survive next year. The charter members are: Lois Burrell, Phyllis Gribble, Dorothy Hassinen, Helia Johnson, Mildred McCrossen, Beryl MacDonald, Ivy May, Edythe Olson, Evelyn Olson, Jennie Peterson, Elizabeth Trezise, Francelie Turner, June Wicklund, Mildred Young. Other members are: Dorothy Carlson, Ruth Curry, Ina Jacobson, Frances Hen- drickson, Sylvia Saari, Gladys Burt, Sylvia Eckman, Ruth Johns, Mildred Holt, Evelyn Wisneski.

[85] The Cosmopolitan Club The Cosmopolitan Club was organized last year under the sponsorship of Mr. McCoy. Its primary purpose is to interest the members in some of the finer things of life which cannot be given in the regular curriculum. When the club was first organized it was thought best to erect and maintain a scholarship standard. All students in order to become eligible for membership must have no marks below C . The club has had many interesting weekly programs, including the discussion of such topics as the biographies of Shakespeare, Milton, Huxley, Bach and Beethoven. The members also enjoyed several instructive talks by people outside of the club. The club has taken an active part in the social side of school life. Soon after Christmas it sponsored a very successful matinee dance. The members also enjoyed a tobaggan party at Lake Lavina, and at the end of the year the club had a picnic at Lake Superior. The officers of the club are: president, Billy Conley; vice president, Dorothy Hassin-en; secretary-treasurer, Francelle Turner; sponsor, Mr. McCoy. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB MEMBERS Top row: Sylvia Eckman.

The club was divided into three groups according to interest, each pursuing one of the three branches, chemistry, taxidermy, and photography. The chemistry group carried on numerous chemical experiments such as growing chemical gardens, coloring water, and making fireworks. The taxidermy group studied taxidermy, learned to skin and stuff birds and animals, and mounted two deer heads. The photography group carried on an impromptu course in photography. Members of this group took pictures, developed the films, printed and developed pictures from the negatives, and tried their hand at slide making. The picture of the cast of the Senior Class Christmas play, Neighbors , the Junior High School clubs, and the Science Club are examples of their work. Many of the snaps throughout the Hematite were also taken by this group. The officers of the club are: Russell Fakonen, president; Charles Keeton, vice president; and Kenneth Wright, secretary and treasurer. SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS Top row: Clyde Oie, Robert Clark.

[87] The Qlee Clubs I hs Boys and Girls Glee Clubs of the Luther L. Wright High School are institutions of long standing. They have so long been identified with the various other activities of the student body that they have become an indispensable factor in entertaining not only the students themselves but also the public. Their importance in the eyes of the school board and of the faculty is vouched for by the fact that students belonging to them are allowed a half-credit for each year’s membership. Their entertainment value is attested by the fact that their public appearances have always been greeted by capacity houses. The Glee Clubs for 1927-1928 are composed of forty-eight members, all of whom have had to pass the usual vocal tests before being admitted to membership. They have all lent themselves enthusiastically to the task of making their organizations as successful as they have been in the past. The presentation of the operetta Pickles , the joint work of the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, was the most important work for the year. The funds derived from the proceeds of this play were used to defray the expenses of sending the Glee Clubs to Marquette, where they met in competition with other Upper Peninsula clubs. The clubs have had a very successful year and their members have derived much good therefrom. They have been given the opportunity to develop in no small way those vocal talents which they possess, and have also had the benefit of congenial associations, histrionic experience, and accomplishment.

[S9] The lronipood High School Band The band has been molded by Mr. Daley into a clean playing, snappy organization, which at the same time is capable of playing the more pretentious selections with smoothness and pure tone quality. We are proud of the band. We have felt its effect when, after the mad race for a goal, it has added to our own din, if we were successful, or has drowned the triumphant shouts of the foe with its martial strains. Let us not forget the boys who came forth and blew their heads off ' into the horns that were often too cold on the lips. Heroes are made, not born. DIRECTOR: Walter L.

[91] The Dance Orchestra The dance orchestra was organized by Mr. Daley, music instructor, at the beginning of the year from those boys who had had previous orchestra experience. The group was organized into a club and held regular practices during its club period. During the year any boys who showed any ability and interest were given an opportunity to join the club, until finally a fine ten-piece jazz band was formed. Walter Winn was named leader, with Henry LaBlanc as manager, and much of the orchestra's success can be attributed to the work of these two students. The large instrumentation of the orchestra gave it a remarkable volume and tone quality. This fact also enabled it to present many different solos and combinations. The orchestra played from a repertoire of the latest music only. The orchestra played for all school dances, including the matinee dances, and for the various class, club, and teachers' parties. During the course of the year the orchestra secured a number of engagements at places outside of the school and was very well received on each occasion. Because the orchestra was of such service, it is likely that the same plan of organization will be followed next year despite the fact that most of the members graduate. DANCE ORCHESTRA MEMBERS Edson Palmer, trombone; Harlowe Moore, trumpet; Mr. Daley, trumpet (sponsor); Alan Shouldice, bass; Walter Winn, banjo (director); Henry La Blanc, drums (manager); Russell Bennetts, saxophone; Thomas McKevitt, piano; Ted George, clarinet; Evert Norgard, saxophone. [92] Other Clubs There are many other clubs, besides those whose pictures appear in the Hematite, which are valuable to the school and are enjoyed by a great number of students. The French Club, sponsored by Miss Moehlenkamp, is one of these. Anyone taking French is eligible for membership in the club. The club is divided into four groups, each responsible for presenting programs before the whole organization. If possible, these programs consist of material dealing with France. French artists, French musicians, and French songs are studied. The officers in this club are Isabel Rowe, president; Elma Kytola, vice president; Elna Sand, secretary-treasurer. Another club which has proved very popular is the Boys' Social Dancing Club, better known as Les Papillions”. Through the efforts of Miss Flatemersch many boys have learned to dance this year. One of the most successful parties of the year was given by this club. They also sponsored a matinee dance. The officers of this club are: Earl Bellore, president; Russell Lutey vice president; William K.tcla, secretary and treasurer. For those interested in art two clubs were formed. One is for boys only, and the other for girls. Miss Kerfoot is the sponsor of both of these. A club to promote interest in home economics was organized by Miss Emerson. The officers of this club are Marjorie Kinsman, president; Clara Leonard, vice president; Gladys Johnson, secretary and treasurer. Sports have not been neglected however. The Boys’ Swimming Club was sponsored by Mr. Burch and Mr. Cory. A Girls’ Sports Club was organized under the direction of Miss Flatemersch. The object of this club was to promote interest in various sports among the girls. The Debating Club sponsored by Mr. Burch was the source of much interest. A study of the fundamental principles of good debating was made and various questions and topics were debated within the club. It is hoped that enough interest has been aroused so that debating hereafter will become a prominent feature in the school. For the purpose of interesting pupils in the literary world a club was organized by Miss Miller. A paper called Current Literature’’ is studied, and the works of various authors are read and discussed. The Astronomy Club organized by Miss Edwards has sought to acquaint its members with various constellations. The officers are: Waino Kauppi, president; William May, vice president; Eino Audio, secretary; Martha Oleksy, treasurer. The Apparatus Club for boys is sponsored by Mr. Cramlet, and the Architects Club w'as organized by Mr. Pate. The officers of the Architects Club are: Irving Palm- quist, president; Ellard Carlson, vice president; Rudolph Genetti, secretary and treasurer. [93] [94] 1951 The School Spirit Cup The School Spirit Cup was given to the Luther L. Wright High School by a former principal, Mr. Leon C. High, and it was his intention that it should be presented each year to the class showing the best all-round school spirit. The award of the cup is made by a committee selected by the Student Advisory Committee and the principal to the class which receives the largest number of points. The basis and point system used for awarding the cup may be summarized as follows: I. Improvement in Scholarship—1500 possible points. II. Attendance at school—1000 possible points. III. Punctuality, rated equally with attendance—1000 possible points. IV. Support of school activities—500 possible points, based on attendance at athletic games, plays, operettas, parties, and the purchase of What's What” and Hematite”. V. Payment of class dues—300 possible points. The cup was won in 1924-25 by the class of 1925, in 1925-26 by the class of 1928 and in 1926-27 by the class of 1927. Representatives of the different classes present their claims for the cup in a general assembly, and in a special report to the school spirit cup committee. The representatives for this year are Eugene Patrick for the Si class, Bobb Shove for the S2 class, and James Inch for rhe S3 class. [96] Student Aduisorij Committee The Student Advisory Committee of the Luther L. Wright High School is an experiment in student participation in the management of school activities. The committee serves two very important purposes: first, as student representatives, the members of the committee present the student point of view on a number of school problems; and second, they appoint student committees who assume responsibility for various school activities. By presenting the student point of view, the Student Advisory Committee has aided the administration in solving a number of problems. The following committees appointed by the Student Advisory Committee have accepted and discharged their responsibilities in a very able manner: the Assembly Com- mittee has arranged for assembly programs throughout the year; the School Spirit Cup Committee has outlined the basis for awarding and has awarded the School Spirit Cup; a committee assumed the responsibility for a successful all-school masquerade party; the parents were directed through the Luther L. Wright High School during Education Week by a committee; another committee secured information concerning the time of arrival of athletic teams, met them at the train, accompanied them to the hotel, and called for them before the game; and recently, a committee has established a scholarship memorial in memory of Miss Mildred O'Connor.

ROYALTY [108] [109] IDhi] you Qo CTo High School The real object of education is to give children resources that will endure as long as life endures. —Sydney Smith. There are seven purposes of education which have been commonly accepted as being the best possible reasons why you should go to school. IT PROMOTES YOUR PHYSICAL WELFARE:—To live best you must develop bodily vigor and learn how to take care of your physical self. The school meets this demand with gymnasium work and training in hygiene. IT GIVES YOU TRAINING IN THE TOOL SUBJECTS:—To be educated you must master the tool subjects, i. e. you must know how to figure accurately, to use speech that is grammatical, to spell correctly, and to write a good sentence. IT PREPARES YOU FOR USEFUL SERVICE:—In school you should discover you abilities and aptitudes. You receive a general training upon which you can later build a more detailed preparation for your life work. IT TRAINS YOU FOR HOME LIFE:—Through the social studies, literature, music, art, manual training, and home economics the school aims to develop you into a worthy member of the home. IT FITS YOU F'OR CITIZENSHIP:—You must learn to carry on well your duties as a member of a neighborhood, a town or city, a state, a nation, and to understand something of your country's international problems. ‘ IT PREPARES YOU TO USE LEISURE WISELY:—Through developing an interest in music, art, literature, drama, social gatherings or in some hobby such as radio or basket weaving, the school helps you to make a start in the use of leisure. IT DEVELOPS YOUR CHARACTER: While there is no course in character building, the school hopes to develop you into right-thinking, right-living men and women. Health, mastery of fundamentals, vocation, home life, citizenship, leisure and character—these are some of the best possible reasons for going to school. Why go to school? Wouldn't the question be better stated: Why not go to school? D. W. Y. 1110] 1111] (112] CLASS OF 1933 Junior High School Student Council The Junior Student Council of the Luther L. Wright High School is nearing the close of its second successful year of service. The Council is an organization composed of one representative from each home room, two faculty advisors, and the assistant principal. It does not pretend to govern the school, but rather to aid and assist wherever possible. The Student Council meets every second Monday of the month. At this meeting regular business procedures are observed. Suggestions are made problems of the school discussed, and in many cases action is taken in school affairs. The Council has under its jurisdiction the Junior Patrol, the Sanitation Committee, and the Assembly Squad. The Patrol members help in keeping order in the halls, direct visitors about the building, assist the office in taking care of lost and found articles, do errands for teachers, and make themselves generally useful. The Sanitation Committee visits home rooms at certain intervals and grades the rooms, using a scale of score card. A gold star is awarded to the room receiving the highest number of points. The Assembly Squad helps during certain assemblies. Mr. Hanson and Miss Hill are the two faculty advisors for this year.

These pioneer Junior Journalists were sponsored by the Misses Burke and Shea at the Central Building where the Junior High classes convened at that time. The members of the first staff were: editor, Bobb Shove; assistant editor, Mildred A. Johnson; business man- ager, Owen O'Neill; social reporter, Myron Haack; sport editors Bruce McGill and Violet Rintala. During the second year of its existence the club was under the direction of Mr. Heideman in the new quarters of the Junior High in the Luther L. Wright Building. It was at this time that the name of the publication was changed from the original one, Pepper”, to the one it now bears. The third year found the club still functioning under the leadership of Mr. Heideman and Miss O'Connell. The present organization is sponsored by Mr. Coleman and the Misses Fine and O'Connell.

Wright High School. Mr. Cramlet decided that the best way to obtain new material for his team was to organize a group of inexperienced boys and add these recruits to his team from year to year. Accordingly a new team was organized under the direction of Mr. Hinote and called the Junior 1 umblers, distinguish them from the more experienced group. Members of the squad have responded well to their new work and have proved their efforts by this year’s performances. The first appearance of the team was between halves of the Ironwood-Washburn game. Everyone performed well and did not appear to suffer a bit from stage fright. The second program was an impromptu one at the Ironwood-Crystal Falls game. The next program was between halves of the Junior High preliminary with Bessemer, and the boys were given a big hand for their efforts.' About eight of the squad accompanied the Junior High basketball team to Marenisco and thrilled the crowds of this city with their stunts. At an assembly program the team held the entire Junior High School in awe and admiration with a varied program and was commended very highly. The Puritan game saw another excellent tumbling program. To show their versatility the team put on a program composed entirely of pyramids of different shapes and sizes at the Marenisco game. The final and closing exhibition was an active part in the second Annual Gymnastic Circus. JUNIOR TUMBLERS Top row. Hoffman. Tregembo, Morin, Kerkala, Belany, Rowe, Dedo, Chappell, Bohun, N.

I U6] Junior High Basketball In the latter part of November a call was issued by Coach Hinote for Junior High School basketball candidates. About sixty boys reported, with only two boys remaining from last year’s squad. After three weeks of strenuous practice we played our first game with Ramsay and won 9-3. Our next game and last game before the holidays was with the Senior High second team. We won, 16-10, after the game had been tied with 40 seconds to go. After the holidays we went to Puritan and defeated them 9-6. Our second trip resulted in a 15-15 tie with Wakefield in an overtime game. Weakened by ineligibility, we lost our second game with the High School seconds 6-15. After a 3-3 tie at the end of the third quarter we beat Bessemer here 16-3. The High School seconds were defeated in the rubber game 11-7. Our next game resulted in our second and last defeat of the season. Wakefield won 14-11. Our first game with Marenisco resulted in our largest win of the season, 22-9. Our next triumph was over Bessemer 11-10 in an overtime game. Although weakened by the loss of two first string men we won for the second time over Ramsay 10-8. Puritan was unable to stop our last half rally and we defeated them 15-9. Our last game of the season we won from Marinesco High School 8-1. As all the regular players and subs are going to the Senior High, we will have an entirely new team next year to uphold the record of this year's quintet. I. J. H.S.. 9; Ramsay . . . 3 I.J.

We have been afraid that the honor of being placed in a hall of fame would be a little too much for some of our local promincnts, and so we have used a little technique in our methods. We have let the glory of their nomination suffice on one side; and to make sure that it will have no inflating effect, we have made it a point to make our remarks as uncomplimentary as the sterling qualities of the candidate allow. Our motives have been altruistic, so hoping that our words will be interpreted in that light, we nominate the following for our Hall of Fame: BILLY CONLEY Because he is managing editor of the Hematite (We don't know why). Because he docsn t play poker. (Sh, sh. he s Scotch). Because they had to dynamite the school to get him out of the third grade. If he's cornered, he'll admit that he's president of the Cosmopolitan Club. LIONEL JACQUART Because, in spite of the fact that he comes from Curry Street, (one of those places where everybody owns the same lawnmower) he is a gentleman. (Two bits, please) Louie's a perfect gentleman, but that's nothing to hold against him. Because he s president of the Hi-Y and the joke is very much on them.
