A suceessful asaambly program, composed of several skits and musical numbers by members of the class, was presented. The completion of our freshman year saw large group of promising students well on their way to athletic and scholastic honors. We elected the following officers in our sophomore year: Donald Swanson, president; Arthur McKay, vice-president; Erwin Johnson, secretary; and Grace Gribble, treasurer. Later in the year, when Arthur McKay moved away, Margaret Russell was elected vice-president. Under these officers, and with the aid of our class sponsor. Miss Margaret Jones, we held a successful assembly and a class party. Our junior year was an eventful one. Our officers for the year were James Herbenar, president; Margaret Mukavitz, tice-president; Gloria Swanson, secretary; Jean Strand, treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Janet Goudie. The highlight of our very successful class assembly was a humorous skit entitled The Lighthouse Keeper s Daughter. The proa, carried out in a atin American setting, was a great success. In our senior year the following officers were elected: Tom Gardner, president; Edward Oliver, vice-president; and Madeline Miller, secretary-treasurer. Miss Jennie Johnson was our sponsor. The war called for an increased effort on the part of the seniors, and the class as a whole responded readily to these demands by enrolling in courses stressing various phases of the war effort. W© completed our senior year with the class play, June Mad, the class picnic, and the Commencement exercises. The motto of the class of 1943—a very fitting one in these times of emergency—is Courage is half the battle. SENIORS BILL ADRIANSEN I'm at sober a8 a Judge, but I like a good time.

Well, finally I can read The Levinstein Light of Truth. This newspaper really does present the news. Dad syas Emil Wanatka down at the radio station wouldn't have any news at all if it weren't for the Levinstein Light. Tonight I think I'll read this paper from cover to cover. That is, if I find my glasses. I think Dr. Lens-atz should put some of Niemi Neon signs in her glass cases so you co ld find them in a hurry. Am I finally settled? I guess so. First, the weather report. Beware of drips tomorrow. That certainly is a quaint way of saying it. Somebody cmgfat to tell Bernard Johnson that the government ban on weather reports went off about 25 years ago. I just remem-Helnske's Almanac said clear for tomorrow. Somebody's in the fog! Well, it certainly is a pleasant change to see peaceful headlines. Preserved Turnips are America's Favorite Food. H'm. Mary Kraemer, world famous dietician announced today that preserved turnips not only are America's favorit food but that they also contain more vitajnin R. U. L. then any other food. I should know that. I practically support Pollari's Grocery i Store buying turnips. Say, maybe that's what is causing Junior to talk like L 1 Abner. Miss Hendrickson, his speech teacher has been complaining. I'd better stop in tomorrow at Bennett's Book Basement and get a copy of Bernice Cartie's How to Take the Brogue from Turnips. 38 HEMATITE It1a supposed to be a best seller. Let's hope It has lots of pictures. Heavens I Eow could I have missed this story? Everybody is talking about it. Brian Murphy, famous criminal lawyrer, has dragged into the Supreme Court the case of Secretary of Treasury Thomas T. Gardner, Sr., Vs. The Federal Government. Secretary Gardner is charged with having attempted to put copper back into pennies. Honorable Justice William McRae is expected to render a harsh sentence, (Continued on the second page.) At the first hearing today such a riot ensued that the State Guard under Captain Ned Colovich was called out to break up the crowd. A few cracked skulls were the only casualties. These were largely the result of the energetic club-swinging of Police Sergeant Pat Ryan. The victims were rushed to the Stenstrom Memorial Hospital where chief surgeon Bobo Kolesar with the assistance of his head nurse, Zella-mae Keeler, performed several successful operations. My that certainly was exciting 1 I suppose tomorrow's paper will be filled with pictures by that woman photographer, Alicia Wick. That's enough for news. I'd better turn to the social page. Well, well, Mrs. Dorothy J. Sympatheee, the former Dorothy Mae Williams, announces that her new home on Marander Myron Boulevard will be the scene of a house-warming next Thursday evening. All friends are invited to see the new home and its special furnishings which were done completely by the Pennick Interior Decorating Company. I really should go----I'll have to get a gift. Seeing Dorothy's name reminds me what Louis said at supper—something about Lord Byron Sympatheee. Dorothy's son in senior high was chosen Cadet Captain of the high school R. 0. T. C. What's this?

I didn't even know they were acquainted—probably one of those whirlwind courtships. I'm getting tired so I guess I'll Just glance at the funnies—but wait. Seems to me I heard a rumor that the Ironwood Red Devils won last night. I'll look on the sports page Just to be sure. Well, what do you know! A shifty, fast, co-operative Red Devil team whips Hurley's weak and ineffective five. Coach Fred Gribble wore out a pair of Novak's shoes pacing the floor. but it was well worth the effort. The final score was 93 to 39. That's a surprise 1 Now, where are those funnies? Well, I'm too tired to search any longer anyway. Captain Easy must have rescued Juanita Erickson by now from that desert island. Am I sleepy 1 I guess I'll fold up the paper and head for bed. Good-night, Mrs. R. U. Interested HEMATITE 39 CLASS WILL It is with great apprehension that we. the graduating class of 1943. view the impending termination of the school year, because we appreciate the inefficiency and the inability of the Juniors to maintain the position which we have struggled so hard to attain. Inasmuch as our sojourn in this place of trials and tribulations is drawing to a close, we feel qualified to draw up and declare this our last will and testament. To our bewildered followers we bequeath two well-worn office benches for reasons which, if unknown now, will come to light in the last few weeks of their final year in this institution of higher (?) knowledge. We bestow our roller skates on next year's inmates of the senior home rooms and grant then god-speed that they may get both feet in the door beforo the bell rings. To one of the many knobbers in the Junior class, and especially one in the physics class, we leave the intricacies of what makes the clocks in this school tick and not tick. To the underclassmen. we leave the unmarred beauty of the school's vivid walls. May you cherish them as we have and leave your fingerprints only with the F. B. I. Furthermore. Gene Flug regretfully leaves Bane to Hoy Ahonen's paternal care—strictly paternal. He is to see that Bane is frightened by no wild animals surrounding Ironwood, especially wolves. Grace Gribble wills everything, personality, responsibilities, and experiences —everything but the orange sweater—to Glorian Hummel. Gordon Kellett leaves to Eugene Heini his ability to make a basket in his first two minutes of playing. Bill Wester wills the Great Out of Doors and all its charms to Joe Gotta. Mary McKay leaves all her dramatic abilities, entrances, brogues—in general, Mary McKay—to Florence Miller. Margaret Mukavit wills her good-nature, her all-round niceness, to Dorothy Kivisto. Brv Johnson leaves his scholastic and athletic achievements to Bob Mazurek. Jack DeSautelle leaves his oratorical ability to Deane Springer. Charlotte Anderson wills the chairmanship of The Committee for Closer Co-operation between Communities to Annabelle Telacich. To anyone who feels he can stand the strain, we leave Bernice Cartin's wim. vigor, and vitality. Her gold medal, earned for untiring stooging on the annual staff, is willed to the high school exhibit case. The senior band members of the senior band leave the senior band to next year's seniors in the senior band In witness whereof we have hereunto set our paw and caused the seal of the senior class to be affixed.

Wright igh School and within a week most of the class (with the exception of a few lost wfreshiesw had acclimated themselves to the new atmosphere. On October 29, the following were elected as officers: president, Joseph Lenatz; vice-president, Robert O-orrilla; sec- retory, Jack Wicklund; and treasurer, Myra Bane Bakka. In the second semester our class president, Joe Lenatz, was master-of-ceremonies at the freshmen assembly. Many members of the class, because of the need for better understanding between us and our allies, undertook correspondence with the students of Whitecliffe School, Cleckheoton, England. This project has grown to such size that the class has even enlisted the aid of other classes. In this, our sophomore year, our class officers are: president, Marshall Treado; vice-president, Myra Bane Bakka; and secretary-treasurer, Marcia Waldo. We of the Class of 1945 aim to follow in the footsteps of the preceding class and to keep up the good record of the Luther L. Wright High School. CL In the fall of 1942, we, the class of 1946, meekly entered the Luther L. Wright High School as freshmen. With the help of Miss Mildred Webster, our class sponsor, we elected the following students as our class officers: president. Hay Stenstrom; vice-president, Jerome Sobolesky; secretary, Rudolph Kalcich; and treasurer, Lorraine Stockhaus. We had loads of fun getting acquainted at our first class party, which was held on January 22. Four boye of our freshman class were members of the football team, and one, Frank Stano, received hie letter. Ten boys attended basketball practices all season and were victorious in the two games in which they played. Walter Olson was the only member of our class to receive his letter for track. In this, oar sophomore year, Miss Ruth Birge, our class sponsor, helped us to organize in the fall, and we elected the following officers: president, Harvey Swanberg; vice-president, Bernard Benzala; and secretary-treasurer, Lorraine Stockhaus. As in our freshman year, several of the boys were very much interested in sports. In addition to Frank Stano, who received his second football letter, Wally Olson and Bill Mazurek received their first. Nine of our boys who were active in the B team in basketball this year should form a nucleus of next year' e varsity squad. Our class is also proud of Bill Mazurek, who made the National Athletic Honor Society. We, the class of 1946, hope to follow in the footsteps of the preceding classes and keep up the good record of the Luther L. Wright High School. MRS.

Wright High School as freshmen. With the help of Miss Mildred Webster, our class sponsor, we elected our officers and started the year. At our first party on January 22 we played games and spent the evening getting acquainted, The party was a success, much to the satisfaction of those who had planned it The members of our class are also interested in school athletics. Pour of the boys were members of the football team, and one, Frank Stano, received his football letter. Ten boys faithfully attended basketball practices this year. They played two games and were victorious in both. We predict that these freshman boys will add much to our football and basketball teams during the next three years. Those students who did not take an active part in the games supported the team in the cheering section. School will soon close, and we wish to tak this ooportunity to thank our class officers, our class sponsor, and the upper-classmen for their help during the year. In future years our class of 46 hopes to nrove a credit to the school. First Row: Second Row: Third Row: Fourth Row: Fifth Row: J. Sobolsky, C. Seppala, J. Marks, J. Borek, D. Jacobson, W. Salmi, M.

The National Honor Society Is a national organization for high schools comparable to Phi Beta Kappa In colleges and universities. The Ironwood chapter, which is chapter number 110, was organized In 1922, when Mr. John Rufl was principal of the school. Election to this society Is based on scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To be eligible for election a student must be In the upper third of his class in scholarship. Not more than fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the Junior class may be chosen as members in any one year. Officers for the past year have been the following students who were elected last year as Juniors: Erwin Johnson, president; Sam Bennett, vice-president; Ruthe Stenstrom, secretary; Margaret Russell, treasurer; Grace Grlbble and Mary Lou Kraemer, program committee. New members for 1942-43 were announced In an assembly on April 15 and an Impressive Induction service and program took place later on, at which time members received their pins. Last fall the annual All-School Party, this time called the 8-Ball, was sponsored by the Honor Society on Friday 13, In November. An evening of fun was enjoyed by the entire school, and the proceeds from the party will be used for two scholarships to the Gogebic Junior College. Another event, for the members only, Is the annual picnic which Is usually voted the best picnic of the year. n r p r n n i i HEMATITE 53 First Row: Bill Wester, Robert Mockross, Jack Allen, Bill Brenzel, James Kerbenar.

The present world conflict has tended to abolish the old policy of lsolatlonallsm and has made the American public more concerned about their global neighbors. With this In mind, the Pan-American Club was organized. The primary purpose of this club Is to acquaint Its members and people In this community with our South American neighbors. A study of our past relationship with them and of their languages and customs would clarify our present day relationship. At the club's meetings various projects were started In an effort to better our relationship with South America. Our club Is only one of many that have arisen In an effort to unite the two Americas. It has been the policy of the club to admit any student who wishes to be a member, regardless of what class he Is in. Although the club was organized in the latter part of the school year, different projeots were divided among different groups and were carried out to a successful conclusion before the end of the school year. Mr. Rajkovich, the club's sponsor, conducted classes on South American history. Since he Is well Informed on our past policy with our South American neighbors, his knowledge aided the club In carrying on Its functions. A majority of the members had taken the course on South America. Still others were enrolled In Spanish classes and were learning to converse in Spanish. All Information gained in these various ways gave the members a good background for the projects of the club. first How: Second How: Glorian Hummel, Anne Breen, Adele Hometad, Gloria Lareon, Ruth A.

After two weeks we invaded the Iron Mountain territory to play a game in a downpour. We made several down field drives only to be stopped Just short of the goal line. On September 26 we clashed with the Speed Boys on their field with all the rivalry of neighboring towns. After we had outplayed them for most of the game, fate turned against us and a Bessemer player intercepted a pass and ran 75 yards to a touchdown. With revenge in mind, the Red Devils displayed power and a passing attack to overrun the Hibbing eleven. Bob Mazurek blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown. October 10 we crossed the Montreal, only to be turned back by the Midgets and fate. A blinding sun cost us a touchdown on an incompleted pass. The Ashland game was a rivalry between the coaches, and B0bo Kolesar scored points in more ways than one when he intercepted a lateral on a trick play raced 95 yards for a touchdown. The next week we resorted to our steam roller tactics and Quin Hampston, who came in for one play, ran U5 yards to a touchdown.

This is hie first year on the team Gordon Kellett(guard) G was a live and all around player who couldn't miss the basket when he was hot. G received his first letter this year. Erwin Johnson (guard) Erv was most valuable to the team as a defensive man.
