We, the class that revived publication of a school paper and Jiave edited it for four terms hope for its continuous existence and success. Our Junior Prom, our assemblies, and parties, and other activities, will always recall to us our happy high school days. As we have expreseed it in our motto— Our Past Is Gone Forever —Indeed, we say it with regret and longing, but always in our hearts will be the other phrase— There Is a Future Which Is Still Our Own. 12 0 $ 1 � � � � � � !� I ?

BERNARD 3RIEWSKI Hath more than he showeth. 37 THS PRQPH3CY OP TH3 PUTUH3 In the ear of 1970, Mr. Dokken, now an old, gray man, hopned into Mp speed-ship to nay his annual visit to those once-promising seniors of '41'. On his return we questioned him. He refused to talk about all of the seniors, in tact we felt that he had a deep pain in his heart, but we did obtain the following info rmation: He was really proud of Kenny Bissell. Who ever thought he would become a Justice of the Supreme CourtT George Beck III was the leading clown with Singling Brothers. Julia Perlich was the tight-rope walker with the same circus. June Garvey had become the Justice of the Peace in Bruces Crossing. Mr. Dokken gave a sigh as he mentioned Walt Jacobson. Jacobson was late for his aooointment as usual. The nurses had all made a great success—Ruth Panula, L na Stella, Clara Richards, Marjorie Garland, Shirley Hoche, and Anne Porter. June Hakala had the same old giggle. June Johnson and Joye Howe were successful in their dancing school. Everyone fainted when our traveler said 3rnle Kivisto had nothing to say. Not so with Slllott Ladin—he was still talking himself out of situations and into th m. Jean Larson and Ruth Swanson were modeling in the dimes to re. Bob Adriansen was running ahead of 3oris Karloff in a Hollywood popularity contest. Jerome and George Lescoe were still trying to prove who's who. He visited with Catherine Plow Purdy, and on the way back, bumped into Sari Mesich still waiting for Prances Gregory. Mr. Dokken also learned that William Phillips was .judged the year's best businessman. Don Hampton was the manager of all Woolworth Stores and Robert Pulton was the genius of Wall Street. Ted Thomas was the best salesman for Pord. Billy Mills was doing all right , but Jim Oliver was still a drugstore cowboy . Muriel Lundquist was the world's champion typist. Pauline Pisco, Anna Iou Tlasich, Vivian Hedberg, Dorothy Marauder and 3ette Johnson are successful secretaries, and Blaine Skud, private secretary to the President. The radio claimed many of the seniors. Helen Ahonen was a lecturer, Svelyn Anderson a gossip columnist, Orlando De Meto a Shakespearian actor Kathryne 3a— shara the popular Baby Woops , and Muriel Mueller the helpful Snlzzy Slieh. 3runo Mariotti had become the glamour boy of the army. Leo Popko was a sailor and Stretch Sendek was in a circus as the tall man . Mr. Dokken refused to comment on Stretch's line. Don Patterson was a salesman for Stick-um Down Hair Oil . George Pearson was a clergyman. Betty Petrusha was a cheerleader at Notre Dame. 3d Stenrose and Phil Anderson are the Kings of Swing on the air. 3mil Sabol, now a millionaire, still defends the poor men. Theresa Shurmak is a beautiful blond. Mr. Dokken found that Jeanie Stenstrom is the famous woman author hailed as the Louisa May Alcott of today. John Zak is a Prench teacher and Benny Vronch a football coach Ken 01m is a professor of speech while 3arbara Jeffry is a policewoman in Chicago. Mildred Berlin is married and Gertrude Sobolewski has already reached the honored position of Chairman of P. T. A. Albert Salonen is sports writer for the New fork Times and 3ob Small is a news cameraman for Life. Bill Taylor still hasn't decided what he wants to be, but he is a success at It. Bradford Pearson Is still drawing horses. Helen Salo's new dance creation called Dromite is taking the country by storm. Mary Tomich is still selling calling cards and what not. We heard Tom Tousignant is once again waiting for New Tear's Sve. And last, but certainly not least, we heard that Russell Zitter left the army to become first assistant to Bdgar 3ergen. But Mr. Dokken was not down-hearted. He still had hopes that the famous class of 41 would make history someday. 8 4 NEXT YEAR’S SENIORS G 9 you’RE IN THE A NOW. DON’T we HAVE FUN? WOVE ALONG1.

THE INNER CIRCLE This club was organized to promote a democratic spirit among the girls and to aid each girl to develop her initiative and originality. During the year the girls have had various Get-Togethers. At Thanksgiving food was collected by the club members and distributed to some of the needy families in Ironwood. Just before Christmas, the girls contributed and sold home-made candy for the purpose of raising money to buy gifts for former high school students now patients at the Grand View Hospital. In the spring the League held a girls' conference to discuss problems of interest to all girls.

FOOTBALL 1940 The 1940 edition of the Ironwood football team began its practice sessions on August 19 with 103 candidates and fifteen lettermen reporting to Coach Jack Kraemer and his assistants, Mr. Bill Lyne and Mr. John Krznarich. After two weeks, practice was discontinued because of the polio epidemic; and the games with Calumet, Iron Mountain, And Bessemer were cancelled. It was a bitter disappointment when the annual classic with Bessemer, our traditional rivals, couldn t be played. For the past two years the games with Bessemer have ended in scoreless ties, and this year the boys were determined to break the ties with a win. The season finally opend on October 5, when the Ironwood Red Devils traveled to Hibbing to play their strong higr school team.

SARCr Circus Stuff g THE OLD CHAIR GANG SNAP LAST WILL AI D TESTAMENT We, the Dignified Seniors of the Luther L. Wright High School of the city of Ironwood, in Gogebic County, in the State of Michigan and in the United States of America, being of allegedly sound minde and pre-eminent wisdom, in spite of freoueut remarks to the contrary, do hereby make our last will and testainent, thereby revoking all previous wills made by us. FIRST: We do beaueath and render unto our successors, the Juniors, our superior wisdom and illustrious dignity. SECOND: We do also apportion find allot to them the carbon copies of our term papers, our themes, jokes, and stories, with unfailing benevolence. JVRTHERMORE: The following individual attributes, whether of conseouence or not are bestowed whole-heartedly upon the following: Katherine Bashara wills her pleasant personality to the most deserving junior girl. Margaret Babich's giggle is passed on to Tossy Killeen. Donald Patterson's ability to sleep in class is given to anyone who thinks they can beat him at tennis. Carl Westerback's base voice is bequeathed to Freddie Babich. Bud Balduc regretfully leaves Elaine Leinon to the junior boys, and Butch Taylor leaves Joellyn to the first lucky dog. Ernie Kivisto wills his funny stories to anyone who thinks they can tell them without laughing. Emil Sabol offers his political platform to Donald Hibbert. The well-known crazy antics of Kenneth Bissell are passed on to Arthur Trezise. B. B. Berlin bequeaths her blond hair to Mary Matejovich for future use, and hopes she uses it to a good advantage. Jean Larson wills her neatness to Ann Mesich. Lorraine Carlson leaves her intelligence to anyone who needs it. Anajean leaves Rudy to the Junior College girls—Oh, no, she'll keep him. Helen Salo's ability at jitterbugging is willed to Daisy. The habit of making it to school with three seconds to go may be had for the asking. Anyone who thinks it is fun should apoly in person to Goldie Di Orio. Bette Johnson regretfully leaves her extra-curricular activities to Joye Vaara and may he never be obliged to walk home. George Beck wills his serious air to Douglas Rowe. Commending the work of June Garvey and George Beck, editors of the Key-tole, the senior class bestows their aptitude upon their successors. We do also apportion and allot to the juniors the ability to laugh off instructors more or less caustic remarks in the neroic manner becoming a senior. And so, without any compunction or qualm, we dignified seniors leave to the faculty the class of 1942. In witness thereof we have set out hand and caused the seal of the Senior Class to be affixed. Done in the Luther L. Wright High School on the fourteenth day of April in the year of our Lord, one tiiousand nine hundred and forty- one. 79 SEW y : -� p SfisS HSeP Z..'z ' cj s i; S.5K sfif r— —-' ST yV'yj '-“C - -.' -: .: f?rr - £■: - . : - ‘ - I ? - . ; • _ - • f -?.
