WEM TITE SENIOR HISTORY Joe Kuker Arthur LaForge Regina Cvengros Yernon Leinonen President Tice-President Secretary Treasurer When the members of the clas6 of 1940 entered the Luther L. 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.
