Wright High School as freshmen, we were duly impressed with our position within the student body. Host of our freshman year was devoted to much diligent plugging away on our studies. However, we did give our whole-hearted support to the various school activities. As our freshman year progressed, there were numerous students who began outstanding careers in regard to scholarship. Others were also showing their leadership in social activities. In this way we upheld the ideals of our school and prepared for our future history-making achievements. Our sophomore year rolled around and found us really learned (so we thought) in the art of attending classes, conducting social affairs, and in general fitting well into the school spirit. At this time it was with much superiority of feeling and deep sympathy that we viewed the freshmen and recalled the various experiences we had as Preshies. Then, too we had some fine orators representing our class. Came our Junior year and, of course, the Prom. Our decorations were carried out in a gypsy camp motif. The Prom was a huge success, as usual. The committees performed their duties unselfishly and earnestly. In all fairness we must here mention the outstanding athletes representing our class. They have maintained our school's high athletic record by many victories in football, basketball, and track. We seemed suddenly to awaken with hidden stores of vitality and enthusiasm as we solemnly accepted the title of Dignified Seniors. Several capable committees were chosen in the early part of the year who did much toward choosing a ring for the class and presenting the senior pep assembly—what an assembly I We are especially proud to say that with the help of energetic students sponsors we have brought back to our school the printed annual. Senior classes had made mimeographed annuals for several years in an attempt to revive the printed one. ?hls year Miss Goudie's senior English class also undertook an unusual project, the writing of Ironwood—City and Township. The students rummaged through old records of our city, interviewed some of our first settlers, and even dug into the yellow pages of old newspaper clippings in an earnest effort to find everything they possible could. The finished work was sent to Lansing to become a part of the took, Hiawatha Land. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. This is a fitting meffto tor the clams of 1940.

First: We do bequeath to our respected faculty all our term papers, themes, stories, Jokes, poems, and which may prove of further use for reference and repetition. Second: We do render unto our fortunate successors, the class of 1941, our envied position as honorable seniors.

H. S. in the fall of 1937 nearly lost among our upper classmen but with the determination to show that we freshmen really were the peppiest class in school. It didn’t ta)ce us Ion to make the other classes really sit up and talce notice. We gave the school a very worthwhile Christinas present in our publication of the Keyhole. Since then the Keyhole has been regularly issued every two weeks under the sponsorship of our class. As freshmen we also sponsored a dance and an assembly. One of our members won the Declamatory Contest and represented our school in the Sub-District Contest. Iven in sports we were determined not to be left behind. As a freshman, a boy of our class became one of the best players on the A team in basketball. As sophomores we worked hard to keep Tip the good work that we had thus far so nobly advanced. We sponsored an Interesting and original assembly on Valentine’s Day. Again a member of our class represented our school in declamation. We put the final touch to another successful year by having a big Sophomore Picnic. This past year as Juniors we still showed the same pep that has made us one of the best classes in school. Besides the Prom, which, of course, was the biggest social event of the year, we held an assembly in Pebruary. This is the end of our third successful year. We should probably not be so happy at the thought of vacation if we were not coming back to spend another year in good old I. H. S.

Makinen SOPHOMORE CLASS John Holst Carl Simila President Vice-President Charles Best Henry Puro Secretary Treasurer In tne autuim of 1938 we the sophomores of today, passed the portals of higher learning by entering the Luther L. Wright High School as its freshmen. With Miss Reid as our sponsor, we elected our officers. Marian Williams was president; Arthur Treiite, vice-president; Donald Hibbert, secretary; and Charles Beet, treasurer. We held one assembly during our year as freshmen. Students of our class represented different movie stars such as Freddie Bartholomew and Shirley Temple and presented a skit. During this year we, like the other classes, discussed the student council. In June, 1939, we left the school with thoughts of our return. As sophomores we were eager and willing to accept new responsibilities. On February 16, 1940, we had a party. We danced and played games and the party was a huge success. We gave an assembly on February 22. The program include d Lee s Eulogy on Washington by Donald Hibbert; vocal numbers by the Junior College male quartet, accordian numbers by Joe Martini, and a magician1s demonstration by Mr. Jack Robbins. Our class boasts several outstanding members: Carol Jane Taylor and Kathryn Killeen are drum majorettes; Bernice Eklundand Marian Williams are cheer leaders; Douglas Rowe won the local high school prise in the Rational Essay Contest, and Henry Puro received the brome medal awarded by the Chicago Tribune to the outstanding sophomore R. 0. T. C. cadet. We have reason to believe that we are an outstanding group, and we hope that the class of 1942 will continue to be important in the history of the school. In the fall of 39 a group of anxious and somewhat bewildered students entered the Ironwood High. We were, of course, the freshmen. In order to start out the year right, we elected our class officers with the help of Miss Webster, our class sponsor. It was then we realised how many promising leaders we had in our group. Our freshman class program was held on March 1. Robert Gunderson, the class president, was master of ceremonies. The assembly was a decided success, much to the satisfaction of those who planned it. The freshman boyshave taken interest in sports this year. Irwin Johnson received a football letter. Because the school year will soon close, we want to thank our class officers and Miss Webster for their help and cooperation throughout the year. In future years our class of 43 wants to prove a credit to our school, and we want to be able to show the new class of freshies Just what we can de.

A., is a club for junior and senior boys. The membership is not large—at present there are twenty-two members—but each boy is chosen for his merits and willingness to cooperate. Each year the Y. M. C. A. sponsors an Older Boys' Conference, where problems of youth are discussed. Delegates from the Hi-Y Club attend these conferences and report to the several civic clubs in town on the proceedings. Formal initiation for new members is held in the fall. Various activities have been carried out by the group this year. An assembly was given. Two dances were held and the proceeds turned over to the school. The concessions at the High School Circus were handled by this organisation. The officers of Hi-Y are Donald Olson, president; James Graham, vice-president; Bay Dick, secretary; Ed Gunderson, treasurer; and Marion Boy, chaplain. The sponsor is Mr. Litsheinu First Row?

This year there were thirty-one members on the editorial staff and ten on the business staff. The officers of the editorial staff includes June Garvey, editor-in-chief; George Beck, managing editor; Donald Purdy and Betty Bentzen, associate editors. The sponsor is Mrs. Bates.

GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scout movement has rapidly developed in Ironwood and in other parts of the range until now there are twenty-seven troops comprising over five hundred girls. Troop I of the Ironwood High School is in this large group of girls who are seeking to learn more about the out-of-doors and to find ways in which they can be more useful citizens. There are seventeen girls in Troop I, which has been termed one of the most active organizations in the school. Miss Everille Knight, a member of the faculty, and Miss Hilda Lutey are leader and assistant leader respectively. Scouting includes many varied activities such as honemaking, nature, dramatics, dancing, sports and games, music, handicraft, and others. All of these come under badge ork. There are ten fields and a number of badges under each field. There is something in which every girl is sure to be interested and which she may be able to do well. Scouting is divided into three groups: tenderfoot, first class, and second class. Woven into this kind of work are varied social activities and out-of-door sports. The girls take part in such activities as hikes, bicycle trips, skiing, and skating. Indoor parties are held at different timessuch as Hallowe'en, Christmas, and Valentine1s Day. The girls learn various phases of social etiquette before these functions. Concluding the Scout year is a rally, held early in May, at which troops from many points of the range gather in costumes suited to the theme of the rally. A program is held and awards are made to the girls in the different classes to enable them to go to camp. A Health Queen is crowned, and other special awards are made at this time. Movies of previous rallies are shown, and at the end of a memorable and inspiring day there is the presentation of the silver cup to the troop having the most points. Last year this much coveted honow was awarded to our own Troop I. As the girls leave to return home, souvenir Rally News booklets are given to then. Many of the girls attend Camp Galilee in the summer and receive educational instructions in various activities, including swimming. A healthful recreational program provides entertainment for the girls, and songs around the camp fire at night give a sense of peace that few other times will bring. Truly a Girl Scout may look at life with a broadened view, ready to help others and to keep herself a worthy example for others to follow. first Row: Helen Cestkoski; Phyllis Martini, vice-president; Zella Mae Keeler, secretary-treasurer; Marjorie Brenxel, president; Arlove Rands.

GIRLS1 SPORTS This year the girls gym classes started out with baseball. Each class was divided into three or four teams. Later Miss Betlach gave the girls a physical test in which they exhibited their skill in the game and were rated in form and accuracy. The girls receiving the highest scores in each of the four grades were automatically placed on a special team. The four teams representing the four grades were then pitted against each other; the seniors came out of the scramble as champions. Girls archery classes were introduced for the first time this year. To begin with the instructor gave the girls various exercises which would prepare their muscles for the use of the bow and arrow for about six weeks before they actually started shooting at two targets placed at the end of the gym opposite their stand-, ing position. An archery club was also organized for the people most skilled in the sport. A tournament is being planned to determine the champion archer. This winter the classes also enjoyed a series of skiing lessons under Miss Betlach s supervision whenever the weather permitted. The classes were divided into two groups—an advanced skiing class and a group of beginners. After pointing out the fundamentals of skiing turns and standing form, the instructor stressed the fact that practice is the most important factor in developing good skiers. Tennis and badminton were also introduced. As the girls had practiced running throughout the year, track teams were formed. Since every fesr years the Olympic games have been held in some part of the world and this year, 1940, they were scheduled first, in Tokyo, Japan, then Helsinki, Finland, and it is now very probable that they will not be conducted at all, the Luther L. Wright department of physical education had its own on the evening of May 14. Gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded to the first, second, and third place winners in each event. There was competition in running, baseball throwing, high Jumping, baseball, badminton and archery, and according to Olympic custom the program began with an impressive opening ceremony. % t-JEM TITE First Bow: iarity.

Six returning lettermen, Gayan, Ellefsen, Verhelst, DeSantes, Carpenter, and Sampson were the nucleus around which Coaches Kraemer and Newcomb built the team. A great amount of early season practice was given to learning fundamentals and installing a new type of play under new coaches. This fact plus the inexperience of a large majority of the players caused the team to develop slowly. As the season progressed, the team acquired polish and poise—they blocked well, tackled hard, knew their plays, and were a well-drilled machine. They won three, lost four, and tied one game. They gained a tie with Bessemer for the Michigan-Wisconsin title, and by so doing won, for permanent possession,the University of Michigan Alumni trophy. In the annual classic with Bessemer, Ironwood was very much the underdog this year. A perfect football day, the largest crowd ever to see a game in Bessemer, bands, cheering sections, color everywhere, and on October 14 two fighting teams played a 0-0 tie! Out of the original 110 candidates, 68 were out for the last week of practice. More than 50 of these will return for the 1940 team. Since grade school six-man football is becoming established,we can look forward to consistently good teams in future years.
