Rain subdues its savage onslaught; Sun has cloaked her eyes in cloud; 8tars are weeping; Dim Diana fainter grows— Nature and wc are mourning. Sunlight nor wind nor rain Doth mar his slumber deep. He careth not for loss nor gain, For lips that smile nor eyes that weep. He sleeps, but not in mem'ry dear, Though mournful songs be sung. His laughter sounds forever clear. His heart's forever young. Harvey Winn Lawrence Wojciehowski Grieve not that one so young should pass iTron mortal halls of time, From fading flower rind withered grass Tc a clearer, purer clime. His youth will never tarnished be, His dreams will never fail, His spirit always ’dll be free. His joys will ne'er grow pale. L. . 9 vrioN They plonned for us. TO OUR TEACHERS Dear teacher may sound, sort of funny and smart, But that's just the way that I'm going to start. Dear teacr.er of this or dear teacher of that. You're apt to be skinny or apt to be fat. Sometimes you're cranky, and sometimes you're sweet, Sometimes you're sloppy, and sometimes you're neat. Sometimes you're partial, and sometimes you're fair. Sometimes you're strict; sometimes you don't care. Sometimes you're happy; sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you stay at home; sometimes you gad. Sometimes you praise us; sometimes you scold. Sometimes you tell us; sometimes you're told. Sometimes you're handsome; sometimes net much. Sometimes all welcome ; sometimes don't touch. Sometimes you're good sports; sometimes you're small Sometimes you face it, and sometimes you stall. Sometimes you whisper; sometimes you shout. Sometimes you don't know what it's about. Sometimes you're rich, and sometimes you're poor. There's more of the latter in this town, I'm sure. Sometimes you'ro wrong; sometimes you're right. Sometimes you're weaker; sometimes have might. Dear teachers, I find to my great surprise. You're no different from us in shape, color, or size —Betty Hawlej Erickson, Arthur E. Superintendent of Schools Dear, R.

Betty Hawley SENIOR CLASS Orville Maki Donald McMillan Leon Ladin Arthur Slomberg President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Senior History Seniorsl How much that word implies! Does it seem possible that we were once mere undorlings looked down upon by our superior classmates ? We, however, showed our abounding vitality in a seemingly short time by building our dignity to a standard equaled by few (classes) and excelled by none. Ever since we seniors entered I, H. S. in 1934, a very promising group, we assure you, we have displayod our originality and talent. Each year wo have retumod with more confidence and ability. No matter what wo chanced to undertake met with success. During our freshman year we were greeted mostly with brassy stares from seniors and juniors, but that was the leaBt of our troubles. The majority of us were more than astounded by the hugeness of the building that has since become so full of treasured memories for us. We were Justified in being proud of ourselves in our sophomore year. We had the honor of placing first in the declamatory contest. Competive assemblies were held to stimulate interest in sports. All the classes competed, and a prize was offered to the class that presented the best program. Although we were unfortunate not to win, we conforted ourselves with the thought that the judges took pity on the freshies and awarded them the prize. Athletics, a very important part of all school activities, received our contributions in the forms of Simonich, McLeod and Maki. numerous school victories have been ours through the ability of these As Juniors we returned with more determination than ever to succeed. Again we won honors through oratorical ability. Our Junior Prom, which was carried out in keeping with the times— namely the Coronation, was a huge success. Last, but certainly not the least, is our senior year. What treasured memories our class party recalls! All who attended agreed that it was the most successful event of the year. For weeks after it was joyfully reminisced. The selection of our class ring displays originality surpassed by all former classes. The ring consists of a Hematite stone in which is engraved a bust of the Roman soldier. On the sides of the stone we find a miniature of our school, the year, and the letters I. H. S. Now that we are coming to the close of our high school days, we are left with a new field of endeavor, with the hope that its materialization will lead us from the harbor into the depths of life's problems. heroes.

She was assisted by an enterprising newspaper woman, Elizabeth Madison, and a. clever politician, Butch McKenna. Her husband, friends, ana members of the women's party turned against her because of her affiliation with Eutch McKenna whose dealings were looked upon with suspicion by the h gher-ups. Nina bet on the election and after a greet deal of constcih Lion finally won. McKenna proved to be more honest then even his candidate realized. Her husband who had left her returned home penitent, and all was forgiven. Ninr then was on her wey to a successful term as mayor. The role of Nine was beautifully ployed by Jacqueline Rummei, v.ho fought, pleaded, wept, and laughed with greet enthusiasm.

Wright High School of the City of Ironwood, in Gogebic County, and in the State of Michigan, being in a state of highly intellectual mind, in spite of having lived through twelve years of unexcelled training and now being at the end of our toil and troubles, do hereby make our last will and testament thereby revoking all wills made by us at any time heretofore. First: We do give and bequeath to our beloved faculty and fellow-students all bits of amazing knowledge that we have furnished them in our examinations. Second: We do mournfully bequeath to the little sophs our unsatisfying thirst of knowledge and our unfailing love of industry. .Furthermore: Know ye that these worthy individuals do bequeath their personal gifts, talents, and qualities as follows: Esko Aukee wills his soup strainer to the junior boy who can lay the best claim to it. Call early and avoid the rush. Anna Erm insists on donating her shy and quiet manner to Betty Murphy. Frances Lee bequeaths her ability to twirl the baton to Addison Palmquist. Keith Kevar. willingly offers his crate to the Chemistry Club for chemical analysis. Donald McMillan generously wills Joe Kopecko his art of punctuality.

Katherine Bupnilc bequeaths her reservedness to June Hast. Eddy Cvengros wills hie accordian to Kenny Thomas on one condition: that he leaves out the sour notes. Kay Woodward gladly gives her dog, Kimmy, to anyone who will take the bother of keeping him out of school. Jacqueline Hummel generously bestows her dimples on Elaine Adriansen. Marian Friedman wills her latest cud of gum to the one who has the courage to apply for it in Mr. Sandell's room. Jack Carpenter and Brian Q'lleil bequeath their ability to sleep through the most heated discussions to any junior boy who thinks he can get away with it. Donald Lyne wills his bit of crust to the Royal Bakery if they will accept it after four years' use. Mary Kleinbrook mournfully bequeaths her beloved Donald to Faye Sivula. Virginia Archambeau wills her latest edition, Boys, and How to Handle Them , to Peggy Pierce. June Larson wills her musical talent to Betty Eisele, who at present, is doing her utmost with Choosticks. Kenneth McLeod bequeaths his flaming blush to James Fitzpatrick. Florence Konstenius bestows her capability to La Mese Albert. (may she use it well.) Leo and Elmer Siskonen bequeath their dependable memory to Billy Van Slyke in order that the latter may never forget when he has a pressing engagement on Lake Avenue with that little soph. Jock Urquhart wills his hot-air bag to Thomas McRae. Eleanore Cobb, Esther Kasberg, and Marjorie Sopko will their well-known hoofing ability and Big Apple to next year's Social Dancing Club. Jignes Herbenar insists upon giving her perpetual sunshiny grin to Jean Vincent. Audrey Miller, Helen Sather, and Mary Louise Oie give their argumentative powers to next year's debating club. Fiddle Fudaly bequeaths her variety of nicknames to the person who has enough nerve to accept such an enormous burden. Eleanore Trast gives her subtle humor to the Olson twins. Dorothy Champion wills her sparkling brown eyes to Bonita Ers-pamer. (Bunny really doesn't need them.) Josephine (3ucky) Buckavitz wills her fantastic imagination to the lucky junior who has enough brains to accept it. Finally, we do render unto all future students our marvelous sense of humor, brilliant and well kept ability to do our work well, and our time-saving invention of a now type of study. In witness, whereof, we have set our hands and caused the seal of the Senior Class to be affixed, this eighth day of April, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-eight.

These are but ifs, dear StudontsJ A Rare Day in June (10 Years hence) What's It Street Who Cares Where? To Whom it may Concern: If my letter doesn't sound sensible, it is beeuase of a recent reunion of the graduating class of 1938 which I attended, I haven’t had so much fun since I heard the school burned down! Everyone was there in full regalia doing the most incongruous things imaginable! as I looked about me I found it extremely difficult to convince myself that the- affair was a class reunion-—not a nut11 convention. Clyde Erick sauntered in with a milk bottle greeting everyone with a Hi-ya! We all looked up to him. The toastmaster, Courtenay Warren, passed around the coffee and toast and the program was soon way under (I mean under way.) The program opened with a duet by Marvel Anderson, Dorothy Kuker, and Agnes Swendsen. The selection rendered was very appropriate— Thanks for the Memory (in 3, Flat.) Then Madame Playandslayum, (Betty Richards to us) world famous violinist, fiddled around with Memories. Uolevi Lahti scribbled conscientiously upon the wall, producing modernistic figures of the most eccentric sort, while Elizabeth Leppala eyed them critically. Wilbur Rautio blew up the works with potassium sulphocyanate and acetylene (or something) while Anna Tarle spoke vigorously and emphatically concerning Modern Life and its Pitfalls. The melodious strains of Ifaestro Link and his symphonic orchestra composed of such well-known artists as Donald Olson, Robert Oliver, Donald Ross, James Skinner, Jack Babicly, June Larson, and Nancy Wagner inspired the eminent lyric poet, Gustav Svansonovich (Gus Swanson) to burst forth in rapturous ecstasy with such lines as: If thou must love, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Completely unaware of their surroundings, Virginia Archambeau and Corrine Juntilla talked very concernedly about the latest best seller, How to Look Like Sweet Sixteen. Kay Woodward and Audrey Miller were still engaged in a mental combat concerning the Law of Diminishing Utility while that minute animated atom known as M. L. Oie was engaged in a physical combat viciously tearing the hair from the head of poor, helpless Jock Urquart. Don McMillan and Kenny Lites were engaged in business talk. Each thought his was the most economical hash receipe. They were putting everything they had into it, Agnes Herbenar, Josephine Buckovetz, and Bernice Khpugia were discussing the latest choice bit of gossip concerning Mrs. D. Ahonen’s goings-on with the handsome ice-man, Kenny NcLeod. When that big he-man, Angelo DeMario emptied his bottle of milk (still trying to grow vertically rather than horizontally), we all played spin the bottle. Coach Orville Maki tried to interest us in such games as The Farmer in the Dell , but Stanley Basset simply would not stay with A-dell—-Saari. Ellen Lein and Hildur Mattson wore discussing the latest sensational moving picture produced by the famous Thonfis J. Vizanko, co-starring Hermoine Hermoine (our former classmate, Lillian Helgren) and Percival Algernon Lover (Dominic Pomponio). The picture was He Left Her Flat . It certainly was a knockoutl (I mean a walkout.) The appearance ef the tall, tan and terrific multi-millionaire, John Lakner caused all the maidens hearts to flutter and the men to mutter. When that noted flyer, Alfred Brainard entered the scene, he was practically stamped out ---everyone was so eager to get his autograph. (He was the first to i� ke the famous non-stop solo flight across the wide expanse of water, Sunday lake.) That renowned prima-donna Mesdame Sophie Lichaeczewski was not among us as she was in Europe trying to find new high seas. (C’s) That soldier of fortune and tough hombre, Bernard Wiercinski, was weighed down with metals won in love and war. (He's still doing heroic deeds to promote the public welfare.) The archaologist, jack Carpenter, exhibited his technique even on such an occasion as this was. He discovered the petit Leon Ladin helplessly overburdened by the whole crowd’s outor apparel. (He certainly manages to pick up things.) A lot of other eccentric happenings occurred, but time’s a ’wasting’ so I will close with my love. Iva Feller JUNIOR CLASS William Konstenius Thomas Melis Thomas McRae President Vice-president Sec re tary-1 reasurer The Class of 1939 Last fall, a few weeks after the Luther L. Wright High School once again opened its doors to the hundreds of pupils for another year, the juniors held their election of officers. After the nominations had been made at an earlier meeting called by our sponsor, Miss Janet Goudie, we juniors spent some hectic days trying to decide which of the candidates would be most suitable for the offices. Our campaigning resulted in the election of three very efficient people. For the greater part of the year the juniors have been busily engaged in promoting the interests of the numerous clubs to which they belong. Sports, of course, rank as one of the major high lights of the year. In this field of activity, we are well represented by several outstanding athletes, in football among others by Robert Ebli, Americo Martorelli, Richard Sampson, aale Savel, and Andrew Longhini; in basketball by Randall Anderson, Robert Ebli, and Earl Johnson; in track by Americo Martorelli, Andrew Longhini, Robert Ebli, Ray Nelson, and David Moore. An event in which the juniors fared most successfully was the Oratorical Contest held on March 21. From among several speakers, both juniors and seniors, Thomas McRae, one of our classmates, was chosen to represent our school in oratory. At the district oratorical contest held in Bessemer on April 8, Tom was acclaimed the winner. We want Tom to know that we are proud of him and wish him loads of luck in his speaking in future years. With the approach of spring came the most important event of the year, our Junior Proml The sight of the gay couples dancing away the hours against a background of South Sea Island Magic was ample compensation for the weeks of planning and worry that had preceded this gala occasion. To Miss Janet Goudie, our sponsor, we extend our utmost thanks for her kindnesses and help. Under her direction, our activities could hardly have been anything else but the successes they were. We wish also to thank Miss Noami Bedford for her splendid work in directing the Prom decorations. But time waits for no man , and our turn as juniors must cone to an end. Though time may steal the days from us, it cannot steal the precious memories of incidents which occurred in those days. No class history is complete, however, until the Juniors To 3e are wished the same happiness and success we enjoyed. THE JUNIOR PROM The junior class of tho Luther L. Wright High School held their prom on May 13 in the school gymnasium. The students, alumni, and friends enjoyed dancing to the music of the Playboys' Orchestra from nine to one o'clock. Punch was served thmighout the evening. The arrangements for the gala affair were made by various committees under the direction of a general committee, composed of tho class officers and the class sponsor, Miss Janet Goudie. The decorations were supplied by the art classes under the direction of Miss Noami Bedford. The setting was a Mid-Ocean Magic theme. Panels, which were covered with drawings of King Neptune, mermaids, flying fish, sailboats, and clouds, decorated the wall. The lower part of the panels were adorned with nautical ropes and life preservers. Absve each door was a large drawing either of a sea horse or of an anchor and ropes. At one end of the gymnasium was the dais for the orchestra fashioned to represent the deck of a ship. At the other end was a miniature island, on which were palm trees, jolly tars, and gorgeous Hawaiian maidens. The ceiling was low and made of aqua blue streamers through which peeped countless shining silver stars. An enormous anchor, which served as a center piece and which was covered with multitudinous colored lights, illuminated the entire dance floor. Two life-sized figures of sailors stood near each door, while images of sea horses and additional sailors lined the walls. At eleven o'clock a grand march was led by the junior president, William Konstenius, and his queen, Jeanne Kevan, followed by the senior vice-prosident, Donald McMillan, and hi8 queen, Clara Muckavitz, Chaperons for the promenade wero Superintendent and Mrs. A. E. Erickson, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Dear, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Robbins, Mr. and Mrs. W, L. Van Slyck, Mr. and Mrs. S. S’. Lesselyong, and Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Eislele. SOPHOMORE CLASS Raymond Dick Roderick Nelson Charles Ellefsen Catherine Van Slyck President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The Class of 1940 In the fall of '37 the ex-Freshmen sauntered in through the once more open doors of the Luther L, Wright High. A few weeks later we elected our class officers. Since we were very anxious to get started, we elected them early—in February, I believe,. and school started in September. We also selected class colors-blue and silver—and a class motto— Sophomores Live and Learn, This year we sponsored a punctuality contest for all tenth grade home rooms. There is a banner in each home room and this, banner stays up until there are three tardinesses. The homo room with the best record at the end of May was awarded a prize. The joyous sophomores also conducted a scries of visits to each other. The home room visiting put on a program and all members of both home rooms were introduced to each other. A dancing class was organized for the sophomores and juniors Now school is closing in May and wo must come to the end of a very busy year. The above activities sum up the happy time of the sophomore class of 1937-1938, FRESHMEN CLASS Kathryn Bashara June Garvey George Le3coe President Vice President Sec re tary-Treasurer Although the class of '41 did not really get started until the second half of the school year, we believe we have completely made up for it and will do even more so throughout our future years at the good old I. H. S. One of the main activities of the Freshmen Class this year was a Paul Bunyan Party at which Paul stood with ''Babe, his big blue ox, and watched the students go through the modern steps while a group also went through an old-fashioned square dance. Miss E. Talvity, our faculty adviser, Mr. Litsheim, and Miss 3etlach chaperoned the party. A freshmerv-senior tea was planned but not executed because of the shortened school year. An outstanding achievement of the Freshmen Class this year has been the Keyhole, an all school paper with which we hoped to create a more active interest in the school. The class of '41 has contributed this year, in basket-oall, Ernest Kivisto; winner of the declamatory contest, Elaine Skud; Pageant, helen Salo; and many other freshmen have been active in club work. 3ut since time marches on and we shall be freshmen no more, we want to thank Miss Elizabeth Talvity, our faculty adviser, for her cooperation and help in all of our enterprises of this year, and we hope we will be a credit to our school in future years. THE KEYHOLE Feeling a need for a school paper, the Freshmen Class decided to sponsor a publication as a class project for the year. The first issue came out December 23, just before tho Christmas vacation, and was sold at throe cents a copy. Our difficulties began early. After the holidays, we learned of the unfortunate death of our publisher which meant that a new printer had to be obtainod. Becauso of the increased cost of printing, later issues were sold at five cents. Tho circulation has seldom roachcd up to 300, but wo have always managed to moot expenses. Local merchants havo helped immeasurably by their advertisements. Pins of an original design have been ordered by members of the staff. This year nine issues have been published bi-weekly, although a few unavoidable irregularities have occurred. It is hoped that the publication of the Keyhole will be continued next year as an all-school paper. Students this year havo manifested an active interest in the paper, and we bolieve it has boon responsible to some extent in arousing the school spirit of the Luther L. Wright High.

Despite frost, snow, rain, mud, sleet, or heat they were on the field or on the gym floor. Their biggest thrill caue at the tournament in 1936 when Ironwood emerged victorious. The crowd actually raised the roof with their sincere cheering. Dorothy Thorsen was a former member of tho organization. Her letter was sent to her. The cheer leaders have done a wonderful piece of work in showing what a real school spirit is by constantly thinking up new yells and acting as leaders of the student body. We sincerely hope that our future cheer loaders will continue to do their part in carrying on the work that has been done so well up to the present time.

He has excellent Judgment as field gonoral, and he displayed excellent ability in his duties. His punting is probably the best in the stato of Michigan. He was a good leader and a tiroloss worker. Ho is, without a doubt, one of tho best football players the I. H. S. has ever turned out. KENNETH McLEOD—Co—Captain—Center Mac Ho was the most outstanding lineman. He played on tho squad for four years, and during those four years ho nover missed a practice. He was hold in high esteem by all who opposed him. Ho made onc-half of tho tackles. Mac was a member of the All-Conference team. His stamina and fight will be greatly missed when tho coaches try to fill tho center position next year. ORVILLE MAKI—Guard Old Faithful Maki earned his letter at guard again this year. He was in on all offensive and defensive plays, and he always proved capable of opening a hole through which his backfield could score. LEON LAD1N—Halfback Pee Wee ' Although handicapped by lack of weight, he proved his ability in the game against Denfield when he ran 25 yards for a touchdown. Pec Nee could always bo relied upon to do more than his part. LEO SISKONEN—Halfback Sweethoart He was a good athlete with a lot of ability. Even though he was one of tho lightest men on the squad. Loo displayed fine plunging ability. ELMER SISKONEN—Halfback ’ Sisko 1 Elmer proved he could play first class football. Ho was the best pass receiver on tho toam and could always be relied upon in a pinch RUDOLPH SIMONICH—End Rudy Ho was an all-around athlete from Jossioville, playing his fourth year with the squad. He was considered one of tho best physical specimens on tho team. GLEN CARLSON—Guard Ducky Also handicapped, by weight, ho could be depended upon to give all he had in every contest. Ho receivod much praise for catching the latoral and making the touchdown in tho IronwoocUBessomer game. JOE MAIiASKO—Tackle NMed-aBlco 1 He was a powerful tackier who really stopped the opposition. Unfortunately, however, Joe is a senior. FRANK 0ST2RMAN—Guard Tony He was a quiet but mighty player. He could always be depended upon to play a quiet, safe, and dependable game. AMERICO MORTORELLI—Fullback The Shadow1 His good passing and line-smashing ability together with his good defensive playing made him a valuable backfiold nan. Much of the success of the toan was due to Herts's consistent playing. ROBERT EBLI—Tackle Bob He is a hard working tacklor who has only ne noro year to show his ability. Bob can always bo depended upon to reach over and pull om down. ANDREW LONGHINI—Tackle Greony Ho is real poison to all opposition. He provod to be a nighty cog in the line, and we hope that he will keop up his good work next year, HOWARD HARKS—Guard Denosthonos He is a lino-snasher and stopper upper of good ability and a valuable interference nan. Ho has one noro year of competition. GEORGS BROWN—Fullback Lofty Ho is big and aggressive and should prove a valuable nan in the years to cone. When Lofty hits the line wo are always sure of a gain. DOUBLAS BERLIN—Tackle „Moo8e„ He was the largest man on the squad and should become an outstand. ing tackle. He is a tackle who really can take care of his side of the line. RICHARD SAMPSON—End Dick Dick is a player who always took care of his position. Remember that touchdown at Ashlandlill AXLE SAVEL— He is a fighter from the start to the finish, on both, offensive and defensive plays. Allah® He was always in CHARLES ELLEFSEN—End Chuck Chuck is a deserving player who has really proven his mettle hyn rd and steady work. He possesses real ability and pep and should become a greater asset to the I. H. S. LEONARD CAYAN--Guard Lenny He is a good lineman, big, fast and full of determirati heplays equally well at guard, tackle, and end positions. Much is expected of Gaya during the coming seasons. LEONARD CARPENTER—End Carp He was in the thick of the game every time he entered and held down th position very efficiently. With two years behind him and two years to go, he will undoubtedly take a leading part in future games. Yg j H JACK V3RKELST—Halfback He started the season without much experience but showed his true colors at the end. In the next two years he probably will oecome equal to some of our all-time stars. TONY DeSANTES Tony He is always read}' for duty when the coach calls him. His fighting spirit will prove useful in his next two years of football. TRACK TEAM 1938 Approximately forty-five members have reported to Coach John Wollack for practice this year.

May 7—at Wakefield May 14—at Ironwood May 21—at Houghton May 31—at Escanaba Juno 4—at Bossomer (invitational) (District) (Regional) (Relays) (Conference) REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON Aa winners of the 1937 Michigan-Wisconsin Conference, we can well be proud of our football team. The Red Devils started the season by displaying their ability when they defeated Calumet, The following week we were hosts to the Wakefield Cardinals. Mr. Wiley gave many substitutes a chance to show their ability. Again Ironwood was the victar. On September 24 the Iron Mountain squad played here, DeMario, however, proved too much for them, and Ironwood walked away with honors. At a night game the next week-end our neighbor. Hurley, traveled across the state boundry only to be defeated by our team. The Red Devils mot their only defeat at the hands of the powerful Ribbing team. Although Ironwood played a hard fast game, the opponents were big and took the game. However, the next week-end when the team Journeyed seven miles to meet their old rivals, the Bessemer Speed Boys, they were again back in form and showed Bessem1 rthat Ironwood was still a country to be heard from. One of the hardest garner of the football season was played on October 22 at Ashland, J?or a time it looked as if Ashland would win, but the spectacular catch and succeeding touchdown by Sampson tied the score. Winning the last game from the Donfield squad, Ironwood proved that winning the conference was not purely luck. This was the first time in three years of playing against the Donfield team that the Red Devils were able to break down the defense and win the game. The runs by DeMario and Ladin and the blocking by McLeod and Maki wore exceptionally good. f With only one loss and the championship title to their credit, the Red Devils have held up the name of the former Ironwood teams and have set a pace for future teams. The team was ably coached by Mr. Wiley, head coach; Mr. Treado, Mr. Newcomb, and Mr. Wollock, assistant coaches.

He was a member of the team for four years, and this year was chosen center on the second All-Conference team. In the U. P. Tourr.ament in 1936-37, Rudy, then a junior, made the basket which brought the championship to the Red Devils. Leo Siskonen Guard Leo, the best dribbler on the squad, was chosen a member of the second All-Conference team. His work cm defense was especially good. He will be a great loss to Treado's ’’five” next year. Elmer Siskonen Guard Elmer's spurt at the end cf this season made him a valuable player. Although Elmer did not play in all the games, when he did enter fans wero certain of a light on his part. Orville Maki Guard The old faithful in football once more displayed his colors; this time it was on a hardwood floor. He w- s just as full of scrap and vigor on the basketball floor as he wee on the football field. Randal Anderson Forward For two years he has been a valuable ass -t to the teorn, and, no doubt, he will be a favorite of fans next year. Randal is just a junior and will be a three letter man when he graduates. Earl Johnson Forward Earl is another letterman who undoubtedly will see a great dcsl of service next year. Although he is short, Earl will probably be one of Mr. Treado's mainstays n xt year. Bob Ebli Center Bob, the tallest man on the squad, played off and on throughout the season. Whenever Bob entered a gome ho put forth every ounce of effort he possessed. Joe Kuker Forward Joe is a sophomore who maoe a very favorable impression on the coaches this year. He gained much experience this year and should prove a valuable man in the future. Charles Chuck Ellefson Center He won his basketball letter for the first time this season. Although he did not play much this year and was not conspicuous, he did everything well. Chuck should prove a very successful basketball player in the next two years. Ernest Kivisto Forward Only a freshman and he won his letter 11 Ernie played his best ame against the Mark Aim'j. Quintet. Keep your eye on him for he will undoubtedly go places in the future. REVIET7 0? THE BASKETBALL SEASON 1937-1938 The first game of the season was played with Hurley on December 3. Although the team played a hard game, it fell to the Midgets by a score of 17-13. Luck changed, however, and the following week Treado's immensely improved squad defeated the Ashland five, 31-20. Then the boys had a three weeks' vacation from playing. On January 7 the team went to Bessemer only to be defeated by their old rivals, the Speed Boys, by a score of 28-23. The following Fridxy night, Wakefield came to Ironwood and to our great sorrow, walked away with honors. Likewise, when Ironwood was host to the Rhinelander team the following weed-end, the team suffered another defeat. Three days later our boys showed their true colors and gave the Iron River team a real fight. The sad part of it was that the Iron River squad was on top when the game ended. However, our long faces soon changed, because the next week we defeated Hurley on our own floor, 37-21. At the Wakefield school gym, February 4, the Wakefield Cardinals took another game from Ironwood, but this time the score was only 19-16. Again showing their fighting spirit, the Red Devils journeyed to Iron Mountain and were victorious, 28-21. The next week Ironwood started off with a bang, and it looked as if we might win, but the strong 3essemer tear, came out ahead at the final score. February 25, the boys traveled to Rhinelander, only to be defeated again by the strong Hodag five. The next night, February 26, the Red Devils showed more pep and a greater fighting spirit than they had shown during the entire season by defeating the Eau Claire team which was coached by Mark Almli, a former Ironwood coach. The victor;’’ was a fitting reward for a squad of players who Just wouldn't give up. The regular schedule now was ended except for the District tournament which was held at Iron River. The boys played on March 11, but the odds were against them, and they were defeated by the strong Stambaugh team. (But you had a swell time anyway, didn't you boys7) The prospects for next year are good, although the team will be losing Siraonich, Maki and the two Siskonens from the first squad.
