DEDICATION To the Alumni, who have much to further the ideals of citizenship, this hook is earnestly dedicated. MEMORIES May we always remember the days that we spent Building our lives in this school. Think of the time that our teachers have lent Teaching us to follow the Golden Rule. Though t o some it may seem that all was in vain , When opportunity knocks on our door We'll remember the time that our minds were not fain And wish we had studied much more. Many friendships have risen within this dear place As rewards that are priceless and rare For the efforts put forth on the problems we faced And the barriers we conquered with care. Now that we're leaving, never again to return, To stuciy, or meet friends anew, In our memories still fresh is the place where we learned To be always honest, upright, and true. —by Pearl Vick FOREWORD It is our aim in publishing this hook to have it ever recall happy years spent in this hig$i school. If this aim has been accomplished, the time devoted to the preparation of our annual will have been well spent. Erickson, Arthur E. Superintendent of Schools Dear, R.

Probably the most exciting days of our entire school careers. We were really a part of this great institution of learning. How successfully did we demonstrate to those upner classmen our adolescent talents. After enduring the first few weeks of razzing1 we settled down to show them all what manner of men were we . Our efforts were not without result, for it was our class that presented the Minstrel Show, which was adjudged the best assembly among all given by the various classes during the year. During the next year as sophomores we assumed our exalted uositions, pnd heaped upon the incoming class of freshmen the indignities wnich only a year before had been heaped upon us. It was with great pleasure and uride that we urosented our rising orators who placed successfully in tho Forensic •Contest. By the time our third year nan rolled around, we were more than ever attached to this institute. .And we worked on the various committees under our class president. The decorations were done in a South Sea effect. Scattered here and there were small islands, and the orchestra nit was skillfully arranged as the deck of a ship. From this class of ours, we also have so many fine players in both football and basketball that it would be useless to try to mention them all. Finally the last year must come------Dignified Seniors i We know now the sweet taste of obedience from our inferiors. This year wo have two clans rings to satisfy the various preferences. One is plain gold with an engraving of the school and name on the top and the year on the sides. The other is similar to the first except that it is furnished with an onyx background. Both of them are rings of which we can truly be croud. This class has clearly demonstrated through its high school life that it is not merely another class, but one that truly deserves the motto chosen for it. We'll find a way or make one.

CLASS WILL It Is with great consternation and trepidation that we, tho 1939 graduating class, view the impending termination of tho Lchool year, bocauso wc appreciate the inefficiency and tho inability of the lower classmen to maintain the position which wc have struggled so hard to attain. But with our unfailing benevolonce wo havo resolved that, in order to help our successors sustain tho usual prestigo of the highest class as adroitly and with as much dexterity as wo, wo shall bestow on these the thing? that have mado us so outstanding as seniors. It is with this purpose in mind that wo have drawn up this, our lost will and testament. Our proverbial wisdom and dignity wo do bequeath to our imediate successors, also our ability to ask questions. Ask questions. It is tho best way to learn. When you cannot remembor tho right answer to the teacher's questions, ask him one in return. This takes up much timo. Joan Vincont and Eva Wcinborg leave bohind thoir typing ability to Edith Leppanon and Kathloon Boylo. Peggy Millor wills her gum chewing ability to anyone willing to risk itl Patsy Brainard wills her artistic accomplishments to Vernon Leinon. Turc Kivisto says that anyone who can take it , may have his dancing tcchniquo. The senior class wills its ability to put on assemblies to any class that thinks it can equal thorn. Leone Johnson wills her flirting ways to Juno Johnson. Corky wills her pop to Evelyn Anderson. Jeanne Kevan's win, wi,tor and witality is gladly passed on to Joanne Iloleao. Juanita Boyle wills hor unexcelled cheer loading to June Rose Nast. Not that she needs it. Randall Anderson's guard position is to be fulfilled by Ken Collins. Howard Marks wills his eagerness to be a journalist to Martha Garvey. Marcolla Gardner's and Betty Michela's high narks are willed to anyone willing to work for then. La Mese Albert's neatness is to bo carried on by Iva Jacquart. Jerry De Rosia's trucking is willod to Ernie Kivisto. Wilma Froderickson wills her skating ability to Margaret Miller. Taini Palosari wills her shorthand speed to Joyce Geen. Elaine Adriansen's leadership in the Girls' Friendship League is willed to Marian Seanons. Ruth Hoaly's sweet snile is willed to all future students. Sue Ohmn's piano playing ability is being carried on by Patsy Toutloff. Ton McRae’s leadership is willed to Elliott Ladin. Jean Hoffman's choice of clothes is willed to Lorrine La yor. Eldora Kivisto loaves her ambition to go to California to anyone who can afford it. Toney Melis leaves his malice toward nono to his little brother. Because Betty Zaclc needs a little hoight, Dolly Ladin gladly offers ner some. That handsome Irishman, Jinny Fitz, leaves his beautiful curly locks to that good-looking junior, Reino Neini. Frank Neini gives his way with the girls to anyone with enough technique to handle it. Bonita Lesselyong wills her personality to Dorothy Miller. Ray Larson and Donald MacDonald offer their wittiness (of course we're not being sarcastic) to Dinty Gustafson. Dorothy Carlson, Jeon Williams, and Elizabeth Bennetts will their ability to get out of shorthand class at any and all tines to next year's students. Arelli Kangas, the ideal secretary, has alroady given up her stenographic talents to Edrye Wright. Bill Von Slyck wills his excellent behavior and wonderful ability to work hard to Whizzor White and Wahoo Pctrosky. Jack Peterson’8 bowling ability will bo taken care of by John P. Lofborg. Miriam Salni gives her presidency of the National Honor Society to any one of the juniors who can handle it. Betty Johnson leaves her position as the only girl in physics class to anyone who has the courage to carry on As a last bequest to lower classmen we -give to them the pleasure of explaining the electron theory of electricity, of writing 1500 word term papers, and of memorizing To be or not to be . We do rondor unto our successors, the juniors, our enviable position of being the peppiest class in school (and also out). THE SENIOR CLiSS OF 1939 V First Row: Donald MacKonald, Anna Mae Corcoran, William Keeton Second Row: Jerry Elsemore, Maxine Cousins, Miss Holm, Marcella Gardner, Jack Coons SENIOR CLASS PLAY a The Senior Class play, No Women Wanted, was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. It was a now and different play, the setting being a one-room shack on an island on Lake Superior. The characters were as follows: Lolita De La Fuente, A Spanish dancer—Betty Eisele Valeria Valcncourt, A Broadway actress—Anna Mao Corcoran Mary Jones, Heroine—Maxine Cousins Patricia Jones, Aviatrix and Mary's sister—Marcella Gardner Jimmy Anthony, hero in love with Mary—Jerry Elsemore Allard Anthony, Jimmy's father—Jack Coons Angus MacDougal, a woman ha.ting bachelor—Donald MacDonald Gus, an old Swede—William Keeton The Play was chuck full of humor from beginning to end, and the acting was highly praised by all. The realistic sound effects greatly added to the successful performance. The play was directed by Miss Holm. JUNIOR CLASS Charles Ellefson Dorothy Petroski Raymond Dick President Vice President Secretary-treasurer The Class of 1940 Last fall, soon after the hundreds of Luther L. Wright students had come hack prepared for another year of mental labor, the juniors held their election for class officers. Previous to this important event, Miss Janet Goudie, our sponser, had called a meeting of the entire class, and nominations for the offices were placed. A few days(and more daze) of political campaigning, three very efficient winnahs began their regime. The juniors endeavored to promote interests in various clubs, and it is evident that they ’•'ere successful. We are proud of the individual students who brought to light some of the hidden talents of the juniors. Thank you, Magdelino Vorbos; Raymond Dick; Charles Ellefson; and the many others who aided in this respoct. And then came the annual junior prom, the most gala affair of tho year. Surrounded by a green-wooded paradise, gay couples danced to dashing gypsy tunes within range of the campfire and wagons. This thrilling vision was compensation enough for all of the worrying and planning done for the occasion. We want Miss Janet Goudie to know how vory grateful we arc for all tho kindness and guidance sho extended to us. Wo do not believe that any of our accomplishments could have been anything but the successes they wore without her help. Wo also owe many thanks to Miss Noami Bedford for tho time spent and the planning done by her for the prom. But as wc may be sweet-little headaches we had better pass our junior year on to our sophomore friends. Though time goes on, these little incidents will remain with us as precious memories for years to come. May the juniors of 1940 enjoy the same happiness and success that we did. THE JUNIOR PROM The prom of the junior class of the Luther L. Wright High School was held on May the twelfth in the school gymnasium. Dancing was enjoyed by all the students, alumni, the friends attending. As is always true, both the music and the punch were good. The chairmen of the different committees made arrangements for the affair under the direction of Miss Janet Goudio. Miss Noami Bedford directed the art classes that supplied the docorations. The following werd chairmen for the different committees; decorations. Dorr Bums; refreshments, Loretta Manly; entertainment, Raymond Dick; invitations, Marion Seamens; programs, Ethel Mattson; properties, Joe Kuker; clean-up, Leonard Carpenter. The general theme was a gypsy camp. Colorful gypsy maidens decorated the cntiro gym. Soft, lilting music flowed from the gypsy wagon drawn by two life-size horses. Gay streamers covered the whole forest, and the lighting effects climaxed the entire sceno of natural beauty. The grand march was led at eleven o'clock by the president of the Junior Class, Charles Ellefson, and his queen, Elaine Skud. Thomas McRae, the Senior Class president, followed with his queen, Elizabeth Michela. The chaperons for this greatly appreciated event were Superintendent and Mrs. A. E. Erickson, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Dear, Mr. and Mrs, C. E. Gunderson, Mr. arid Mrs. F. A. Jacquart, Mr. and Mr. R. O'Callaghan, and Mr. and Mrs. P. E, Thomas. SOPHOMORE CLASS Elliott Lr.din Goldie De Orio Kathryn Plow Clarico Olson President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer The Class of 1041 The last part of December, 1937, marked the boginning of the activities of the class of 1941 when the freshmen of that year, this year's soohomoros, elected Kathryne Bashara, president, June Garvey, vice-president, and George Lcscoo, secretary-treasurer. Miss Talvity started this ambitious group of freshmen on its way to a year of which they can bo proud, Ono of tho high-lights of the school year '37-38 was a freshmen Paul Bunynn party held on February 17, when the frosh had a good time playing games, tolling tall stories, .and dancing everything from the square dance to the Big Apple. (In caso you don't remember, the Big Apple as the popular dance then). Among the people ho attended the party were Mr. Dear, Mr. Litshiem, Miss Talvity, our class sponsor, and Miss Betlr.ch, who had charge of games The accomplishment of which we tho sophomores of this year are most proud is tho publication of tho Keyhole, the only paper which has made its appearance in this school in a number of years. We have endeavored to make this a school project and we have tried to treat each article of news as fairly as we could. ThiB year'8 sophomores are working to make their class remembered and praised for its work and activities. They have tried to create school spirit, good work and help make their school and class r. group to oe remembered for its achievements. One of the achievements of the Class of '41 is the sophomoro class assembly which , tis held on February 14, when the students presented a play entitled Breakfast , which brought many laughs from the students. It -ms an amusing story of a typical American family at breakfast. In the cast were: Leo Popko, as the father, Kathryn Kavinsky, as the mother, Elaine Skud, as the daughter, Donald Purdy, as the son, and Anna Joan Moriarity, as the small daughter. This years sophomores hevo collected dues of ton cents per student. They plan to uso this noncy for a sleigh ride party or a soph-mixer or possibly both. Mr. Wally is the adviser of the sophomore class. ■■ FRESHMEN CLASS Marion Willians Arthur Trezise Donald Hibbert Charles Best President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer The Class of 1942 Being too busy getting into the swing of things, the Freshmen class did not get started with any outside activities until the second semester. The Freshies have planned two things for the near future. An assembly, a take-off on a Hollywood premier, and a Freshmen-Sophomore party, which as the name indicates is a collaboration on the part of the Freshmen and Sophomores to hold a gala celebration. Clubs open to ninth graders are the Red Peppers, a pep club, the Sub-Deb club, and a Ping-Pong club, a social-sport organization, lhese have been active throughout the year. It has been noticed that the class of '42 has an exceedingly groat amount of school spirit, and an excellent attitude toward the school. Who have been among the most avid and eager football and basketball fans? The Freshmen, of course. Who plowed through high snow drifts to school during a certain snowstorm, thus making it f noticeable fact that there was a higher rate of them than any other class on that day? Again, the answer, the FreshmanJ Certainly, •ith students that feel that friendly toward their school, Ironwood High School should have the best crop of citizens in this part of the country. At any rate, this quality in students so young, is most promising.

The Sophmores continued the good work they started us Freshmen by again sponsoring the puLlicution of our bi-weekly school paper, the Keyhole. The Keyhole stuff of '3 -’39 has done its best tc do all that a school newspaper should do by making this an aH around paper which extends to all students the opinions and activities of other students. The Keyhole has a r.e much in arcusing the school spirit of the students of our school.

The first thing they did was to organize themselves into a club. Then they decided that officers of some kind were necessary for the most efficient functioning of the organization, anna Mae Corcoran v.as elected head cheerleader, Elaine Adriansen, assistant head cheerleader, and Juanita Boyle, secretary. They also decided to meet twice a week—on Monday nights for a business meeting and u short practice and on Friduy nights for practice. All through the year the cheerleaders were e ed on by their enthusiasm to make the Cheerleaders' Club a real outstanding organization in the school. In order to purchase some megaphones, the organization conducted a natineo dance, a candy sale, and sold basketball programs at the All School Party in October. After that they went even further and decided to buy satin jackets for cheerloading. You should have heard the applause when the four regulars made their debut. The four regular cheerleaders are Mae Corcoran, Juanita Boyle, June Nust, and Elaine adriansen,. Miss Knight is the club sponsor.

We won four games, lost three, and tied one. We also tied Bessemer for the Conference Championship. Some of our players vent even further and won individual honors. Howard Mark, Bob Ebli, and Merks Mortorelli won All Conference awards. Other honors bestowed on two of our players were the selection of Howard Mark on the Upper Peninsula team and the naming of 3ob Ebli on the honorable mention list. Jack Verhelst, a junior, and one of our best players, played more minutes than any other member of the team. The season opened on September 9 when we played Calumet on our own fl’dld. Between the rain drops we caught glimpses of our team, fighting its way to a 6-0 Victory. On Saturday afternoon, September 17, the team traveled to CaJcefield. Here we again encountered rain, rain, and more rain. But hat's a little thing like that to our Red Devils!! Tfe beat Wakefield 5—0! • The next game, September 23, took us to Iron Mountain where (sniff, sniff) the Mountaineers took us 6-0. Too bad—it only looked like rain this time! Whoopee!! Hurley paid us a visit on September 30 end did wc skin them! 20-0!! It was the most spirited game of the season with the grai-d stand and bleachers overflowing with enthusiastic roote.rs. The big feature of the game was Marks's running—remember? In the game against Hibbing on October 8, our boys jf lly went to town and showed what they could do. We held out until the last quarter with our stalwart defense, but alas, Hihbing shot through in the last few minutes and made the score 22-0 in their favor. Well, they can't say we didn't scare them plenty! Ho-hum—The boys were still recuperating from the Hibbing game and Just couldn't get anywhere in the Bessemer game. Neither could 3eseemer, however. The score was 0-0. Mcrks was hurt in this game. Hurray The Jinx is off! The Red Devils again showed their stuff at Ashland on October 21 when they beat the Ore Dockers 6-0 in the rain and mud. Enthusiastic rooters from our school watched the game sitting under umbrellas and blankots. It really was wet! The last game of the season was held on October 28 against Denfeld High School from Duluth. Tfe nay have lost 20-0, but we played against the heaviest prep school in the United States. Seven of our regular players were injured in this game. All in all, we think the season was a huge success. Our hearty congratulations go to our fighting team! May they always do as well.

The conference meet will be held at Bessemer. We are fortunate this year in having seven letter men on our team. They are Mortorelli, Bbli, Solonen, Moore, Mayo, Kuker, and Carpenter. Although Vronch is not yet a letter man, he has proved himself a valuable asset to the team. Below is a list of the outstanding trackmen and the different events in which they participate.

The final score was 39-36, The following week the Rod Devils entertained tho Hurley Midgots, whom they dnfoatod to tho tuno of 35-30 for tho first win of tho season, Tho first game aftor tho Christmas holidays saw tho Ashland Oro Dockers got ducked by a fighting bunch of Rod Devils. Tho final whistlo showod Ironwood in tho load by 35-26, Tho next gamo -Droved to bo interesting although very slow, Tho Bcesomor Spood Boys, who camo to Ironwood lod tho Rod Dovils through throe quarters of tho gamo, only to son the I.H.S. go ahead in tho final minute to win by a score of 18-16, A surprising Wakefield Cardinal team was responsible for the first conference defeat of the Red Devils the next week. The scoro this timo was 22-12, The following Friday night tho Rod Dovils forgot their defoat of the wook boforo and thoroughly trouncod tho Iron Rivor boys, running up a scoro of 42-12, Hurley, for a second timo this season, gave tho I.H.S, a torriblc scaro whon tho Rod Devils travolod over to Hurloy. Tho scoro, how-over, provod to bo only a nightmaro, as tho Red Dovils como out on top 29-27, Again tho Wakcfiold Cardinals throw a wronch into tho machinory of tho Rod Dovil fivo, winning 2C-23 in a hotly contostod game. Time and again it lookod as though tho Ironwood lads woro off to a flying start, but their toamwork soomod to bo a lost art and thoir possibilities failed to rogistor, Sotting off to a fast start, Ironwood was apparently.going to walk away with Iron Mountain at tho Ironwood—Iron Mountain game, but as tho game wont on, the Mountainoors kopt on crooping up. When tho game finally onded Ironwood had won by only two points, tho scoro being 30-28. Tho next week Ironwood travolod to Bossomer to play a repetition of its first oncountor with'tho Speod Boys, Starting out slowly, Ironwood finally gained a hard fought battle of 24-22, Playing their final hamc gamo against a superior Rhinelander team, our boys got a real thrill out of boing boaton by tho Hodags, who are considered ono of the host high school teams in tho country. The Hodges' boautiful teamwork spoiled defeat for the I� H,S., who mako only 33 points to the visitors 57. Tho final game of the season was played at Iron Rivor, The River boys, having obtained two now boys for their team since thoir first encounter with tho Rod Devils walked off with a 31-20 decision. 3 TEAM BASKETBALL REVIEW A group of boys who are usually overlooked are the 311 team bhys. But thi3 i3 not going to happon this year. They deserve just as much credit for thoir work as the boys who play on the A squad for they aro the boys who aro to make up the first toan in years to come. The boys of tho 38— 39 team aro to bo especially commended for their work which is really outstanding both as to defonsive ond offensive playing. This is provod by thoir record of tho past season, a record showing nine wins and three losses. The first team of tho season that our boys encountered was tho exact image of tho Rhinelander first toan. They were a hard fighting ■unch of boys and sent tho I.H.S. B team hone in a 30-17 defoat. The following week tho boys played thoir second game of tho season against Hurloy and this turned out to bo a different story. Our boys had a twonty to nothing load at the half and all thoy had to do was to coast hone on a 33-15 victory. A fast and. exciting game was the next one. You probably all know what game this was—the Bessemer game. Our boys won by a score of 24-20. Wakefield, entertained us the next, but did not do a very good ,1ob of it as our boys took a 19-7 victory. The following week on our home floor a very slow and uninteresting game was played by the I. H. S. squad who showed themselves to be too much for the Iron River lads—the score—45-21. We decided the following week-end to pay Hurley another visit. This 3eemed to leave our opponents in deep sorrow as the Ironwood fellows swamped them 24-11. During the next game, even though the I. H. S. A squad was defeated, it meant nothing but more fight to the B teamers as they went out to win 39-11. The team played against Wakefield. The St. Ambrose high school decided that it was about tine they showed our fair school that they could turn out a good basketball team. Though this turned out to be true, our B team defeated the smaller school by a score 31-19. The following week our team traveled to Bessemer to meet defeat for the first tine in nine games. The score board showed Bessemer '26—Ironwood 21. The Rhinelander team came to Ironwood the following week to put on a real show. The good old I. H. S. gave then a real battle but lost by a score of 21-26. Overpowered with spirit the following week the boys traveled to Iron River to hand them a 29 to 15 defeat. This ended a very successful season for the 3 team. TOURNAMENT A record breaking crowd turned out for the District Basketball Tournament of 1939. Sxcitement ran high March 7,8,9 at the Luther bright High School gyn when our high school team played host to teams from all over the district. The tournament opened in groat style with Ironwood playing Wakefield in a thrilling game. The lend changed hands about five times a quarter, and no one could know who would win until the final gun. After the crowd quieted down the score was found to be Ironwood, 18, Wakefield, 16, thereby, avenging our defeats of the regular season at the hands of Wakefield. The final game was a trifle slow. Ironwood and Iron River net in the finals in Class B11. This was a hard game to play and ended in defeat for our I. H. S. Iron River won 29-19 and so participated in the U. P. tournament at Marquette. Congratulations to all teams for a very successful seasonl BASKET BALL ROBERT EBLI, Captain Center No opponent ever went on the floor against Ironwood fire without the instructions, Keep Ebli covered, Because of the fact that Bobbie is tall, rangy, and very quick on his feet. If Bobbie plays them as hard and clean in the game of Life as he did in his four years of basketball and football, success will undoubtedly be his rewrxd. RANDALL ANDERSON Guard Randall is a quiet sort of fellow, but in a basketball game ho always plays his best. He is a boy who possesses a never say die spirit. AMERICO MORTQRELLI Guard Merkes is always alert and ready to do his part. He proved to be a great asset to I. H. S., always playing a brilliant game, but not trying to outshine his fellow teammates. He will be a great loss to the Red and White team of next year. ERNEST KIVI8T0 Forward Ernie's second season of basketball ended in a blaze of glory. His speed, aggressiveness, and uncanny eye for the basket won him a place on the All Conference team, and at times he played a game unrivaled by any in the conference. JOE KUKER Forward Joe was the all-around man of Coach Kraeaer1s five. Always on his toes as a basketball player, with his accurate shooting, quick passing, and nice floor work, he is certain to find a place in the lime-light next season. CARL HAUTALA Center We are sorry to see Carl leave the good old. I. H. S. If he could have had another year of basketball, he would have proved to be one of the best basketball players on the range. All in all, Carl was well-liked by his teammates. DONALD BROWN Fo rwarfl. Don had the best shooting eye on the whole team as rill be remembered from the District Tournament here. Going into the Iron Rive game, he made two baskets for us within two minutes. Don, who graduates this year, will be greatly missed on 1940's team. GEORGE BROWN Center Using his height to a great advantage, George proved to be the helping hand many a tine during the season. His stellar rebound work has seldom, if ever, been surpassed. EARL JOHNSON Forward Earl's work on the basketball floor was superb. He is a fast, as well as a clever player. His work in the Hurley gane is especially commendable. CHARLES CHUCK'' ELLEFSON Center Handicapped by a broken ankle injury suffered in football in the fall, Chuck did not see nuch action this year, but he will be a valuable addition to next year's tean as he is quick on his feet, smart as a whip, and adept at handling the ball.
