Mmj (HU liuu ifffi rru neu Right now we ye got the outgoing ticket, bat there was a time Just four years ago when life seemed a little too rtuch behind the eight ball. Let ne tell yon oar class history. The class of 19 entered these portals of knowledge that fateful fall of 19 0. Slightly green around the gills, nevertheless we aanaged to sake ourselves known. The upperclassmen, despite all that grown-up dignity which we never had this year(?) heard about us in a number of ways, first, we elected our offlclers; Bernard Scud, president; Jack Brown, vice-president; florence Miller, secretary. Then we appeared on the football field, in the band, in the halls, and in assemblies. Remember that assembly? It was a minstrel show, and funny. Oh, yes. there was also that great dramatic production. A Little Cuckoo. Time mardhed on. We went to class and gradually worked for the necessary six-week periods so that we could become full-fledged sophomores. That second fall—a little more sure of ourselves—we met the new additions to our distinguished class, the township students. After mixing around and renewing old acquaintances again, we collected the votes and we found that officers for this year would be Deane Springer, president; Dick Risku, vice-president; Annabelle Telacich, secretary; and Richard Michael, treasurer. More work, more play, more fun. Of course we gave another assembly. This time it was a barn dance, complete with plaid shirts and laughs! finally the last day came. Ho more geometry, Buropean history, or Latin. He were about to become juniors! In our third year, this class really came into its own. And how] He placed Bob Mazurek on the all-conference football team. Ratings were announced in R. 0. T. C., and already there were rumors as to who would be wearing the officers hats the next year. Then, too, it was this year that placed us forever in the realm of the immortals as the INTELLECTUALS . It all started over some interviews about the annual, small at first, but to assume gigantic proportions. Our class assembly was a general one with songs, gags, and a pantomine, And The Light Vent Out. Glorian really had her hands full with that wolf, Roy. In the spring came our time to act as host and hostess to the seniors in the annual junior prom. Using a woodland scene, we transformed the gym into a fairyland where deer, fairies, and adorable creatures roamed the walls. The grand march was led by Mildred Trast and Eugene Stahovic. During this great year, our class leaders were Eugene Stahovic, president; Gloria Larson, vice-president; June Kolvisto, secretary; and florence Miller; treasurer. But how could we forgetl On April 10, juniors were elected to the National Honor Society. All in all, it was a wonderful year. Now we're leaving after completing the most successful year of all. Last fall, Bob Mazurek was selected by us to run the class with the help of Victoria Vbkelich as vice-president, Degny Salmi as secretary, and Mildred Trast as treasurer. Ve went on to take the U. P. football championship, enrolled in the new course of Pre-flight, and worked hard on this book. As usual, the senior play was one big success. Ever Since Eve was our production.

At first the daily lessons in European history, hundreds of years old, were supplemented by current events. We learned strange new names like Luzon, Malay states, Celebes Sea, and Bataan We made maps of the south-west Pacific area, checking new Japanese conquests It was classwork. Now, as we the class of stand on the horizon of the future, no longer is this war a war of current events, class-room recitations about new planes, tactics, advances, and retreats. Instead it assumes very large and terrifying proportions Classmates whom we dated, chummed with, and did home-work together with have gone on into the services; many, many more will leave immediately after graduation We will cease to be the big frog in the high school water We go on to be minute details in an organization world wide against something which we did not help bring on but the recurrence of which we as the next generation may prevent. Solemn and hushed, we realize that not all of us will return Some will come back changed forever.

Mueller, Secretary The High School Ironwood, Michigan CLASS WILL H rke, all ye lowly ones, and draw near. We, the class of 1944, having reached the exalted and sublime heights known only to sealers, are about to speak in our last will and testimony. Listen, all of you, to these veritable words of wisdom— these pearls of knowledge. Listen and realize the full import of these gems of thought. First, to the Juniors who yearn to be in our position, we give a crushing blow. WE DO NOT LEAVE THE TITLE FOR WHICH WE WERE NAMED IN OUR JUNIOR TEAR—NAMELY, THAT OF THE INTELLECTUAL CLASS. To whom it so applies, it must belong. Therefore, it stays with us. But weep not, o little ones. We bequeath unto you the promise of your last aid best year in this school. For you we have carefully penciled in those answers in the physics book. For you are carefully tabulated our time-worn excuses and explanations to the office girls and teachers why we simply couldn't take class today. Lastly, we leave as perfect models our scholastic record and the type of individual known simply as the knobber. With luck you may equal the former, but it is dubious if ever you can master the latter as we have done it. To the sophomores we leave our records in athletics and outside activities. May they serve as your goal for the perfect sohoolyear. To those lovely infants, the freshmen, we will our power to make friends and, in general, have a good time socially. If you feel we have left all we have, you are gravely mistaken. INDIVIDUALLY WE BEQUEATH: Bob Mazurek's ability to achieve to Marshall Treado. James Carpenter's talents in R. 0. T. C. to Bill Eisele. Billee Kaltenbach's initiative to Betty Ann Warren. June Koivisto's personality to Donna Gunderson. Helen Olszak's vim and vigor to June Pearson. Joe Gotta s basketball to Jim. Isadore Miller's talk for almost any situation, especially where freshmen girls are concerned, to Carl Hjalmquist. Glorian Rommel's charm to Elizabeth Beck. Dsgny Salmi'8 dependability to Ruth Anderson. Bob Sandell's character and mind to Paul Lloyd Johnson. Roy Ahonen's assurance in social matters to Leon Marander. Jean Nelson's good manners to Dorothy Kopnick. Rhoda Miller 8 lilting voice to Lolly Suprenant. Kirby Kuklenski's boisterousness to any one who can stand the strain. Joellyn Brands' sophistication to Lou Gillmor. Mildred Trust's neatness to Marcia Waldo. Walter Hjalmquist's carefree attitude to Clarence Rinto. Sue Massie's power to bewitch others to Bane Bakka. Arne Hendrickson's pose as Man about town to Jack Dixon. Roy Patterson 8 conservative manner and thoughts to Clarence Roy. Jane Maccani's clothes to Audrey Wiberg or Barb Englund. George Elias's thoroughness to Lawrence Griewski. Thus do we bestow our final gifts and honors, all duly witnessed and signed in this year of our Lord 1944, the month of April, at exactly 5:00 P. M., on Thursday, in the city of Ironwood, state of Michigan.

We—and the Japs—came in 1941, and it s hard to say who’s been more noteworthy After carefully adapting ourselves to the strange sights and scenes around here, we elected as officers: Joe Lenatz, president; Bobert Gorrilla, vice-president; Jack Wicklund, secretary; and Myra Bane Bakka, treasurer. Of course we put on an assembly, and we also started the far-reaching correspondence with the Whitecliffe School in Cleckheaton, England. Last year, as sophomores, we began bringing home the firs t of our many trophies in the form of athletic letters and scholastic honors. Our officers were Marshall Treado, president; Myra Bane Bakka, vice-president; Carl Hjalmquist, secretary; and Marcia Waldo, treasurer. This year ha6 been fine. Pirst we put the following in office: Bob Petrusha, president; June Pearson, vice-president, Carl Hjalmquist, secretary; Bobert Gorrilla, treasurer. We don't know where the seniors would be without us. We've helped them on the football field, the basketball court, the track, and the tennis court. We are the non-coms in B. 0. T.

WrighL High School in the fall of 42, we had the usual qualities of a freshman class—being bewildered and immensely interested in all that was going on about us. After a few weeks of adjusting ourselves to the school atmosphere, with the help of our sponsor, Miss Westaby, we elected the following officers: presdient Warner Blyckert; vice-president, Billy Kellett; secretary, Dorothy Randa; treasurer, Dolores Klug. A little later in the school year, under Miss Westaby s direction, a group of the class put on several skits in choral reading, which were very entertaining to everyone. During the year, one of the active members of our class, Tommy Taylor, was fatally injured while practicing for the annual circus. Tommy was one of the highest ranking Boy Scouts in the city and exemplified all of the teachings of the Scout Law. He had many good friends am ng the members of his class, all of whom deeply regretted the accident which took him from our midst. The boys in our class have been active in sports. Several were members of the football team. The freshman basketball team had a successful season in their games with the Roosevelt School, defeating them two out of three games. The members of the class who were not taking part in the games were lending their support in the cheering sections. As the end of the school year draws near, we wish to thank our sponsor, the class officers, and the upper classmen for helping us get a successful start in our high school career. We, the class of 47, hope that we will be able to keep up the high standard set by the classes which have preceded us.

Captain—Joe Gotta. UL 31ft ? floaqra lg Mutton Robert Mazurek and Ray Kuklenski Sept 4: The Ironvood Red Devil football squad left the L. L. Wright High School at 6 o clock this morning bound for Calumet where they played their first grid game of the 1943 season. The wind was a little strong, but the temperature was ideal for a football game. In the first half the Red Devils scored two touchdowns and an extra point, while holding their opponents scoreless. In the second half the Red Devils scored only one touchdown but still refused to allow Calumet to cross their goal line. Pinal score: Ironwood 19, Calumet 0. Sept. 11: The Red Devils remained at home this week and were host to the Iron River Redskins. The game which was played under the lights was the first night battle for the Red Devils and the second for the Redskins, who had been defeated by Bessemer on the Stam-baugh field the previous week. The Red Devils scored in every quarter easily to defeat their opponents and to remain unscored upon. Pinal score: Ironwood 33, Iron River 0. Sept. 25: The Ironwood Red Devils ran out upon their home field this afternoon to meet their greatest rival, the Bessemer Speedboys. The weather was perfect, and a great crowd filled the grandstand and bleachers at the opening kickoff. The ball see-sawed with neither team able to score. Then, with approximately three minutes till halftime, with the ball on the Red Devils fifteen yard line, the Speedboys had their chance. They attempted two forward passes which were incompleted and a line plunge which failed to gain a yard. It was then fourth down, with ten yards to go for a first down. What would the Speedboys do? They came out of their huddle and Bogetto, tackle, dropped back to attempt a field goal. The kick was wide, and the half ended zero to zero. The Red Devils, however, came back with plenty of power the second half to score two touchdowns, an extra point, and a safety. Final score: Ironwood 15, Bessemer 0. Oct. 2: The Red Devils were host to Hurley this week, who provided the opposition for Ironwood 8 second conference battle. The weather was perfect, but because of the lack of rain, the field was extremely dry and the atmosphere was quite dusty. The Red Devils, with minds revengeful because of the defeat handed them by the Midgets the previous season, scored.one touchdown the first half and two touchdown and an extra point in the second half. And again, as in the three previous contests, their opponents were held scoreless! Pinal score: Ironwood 19, Hurley 0. Oct. 8: With four victories, no defeats, and a record of being unscored upon, the Red Devils packed their uniforms and left for Negaunee at noon today. The weather was perfect, and a good crowd witnessed the contest which was played under the lights. The Red Devils scored first, but a little later their goal line was crossed for the first time when Tonkin, the Negaunee quarter-back, drove from the two-yard line. The Red Devils came back the second half and scored two more touchdowns to win by a good margin. Pinal score Ironwood 25, Negaunee 7. Oct. 15: The Bed Devils took to the road again this week hat traveled only as far as Ashland, where they engaged with the Purgolders in a contest that decided the Michigan-Wisconsin Conference Championship. The weather was quite cold, hut a good crowd attended. Ashland scored first when Tomlinson, fullback, completed a forward pass to quarterback Konkol. A little while later, however, Klug completed a fluke in the end zone to Jim Cotta to tie the score and complete the scoring for the first half. Then again, as usual, the Red Devils turned on their second-half power to score three more touchdowns and clinch the conference championship, inal Score: Ironwood 26, Ashland 6. Oct. 22: The Ironwood Red Devils clinched the U. P. Championship tonight when they defeated the Stambaugh Hilltoppers in a contest which proved to be one of the most exciting of the 1943 season. The Hilltoppers drew blood early in the first quarter when Drake, their fullback, drove over from the two-yard line. The Red Devils, on the other hand, were held back until the closing minutes of the half when they completed a couple of long passes that put them in scoring position and they plunged into the end zone from the one-yard line. Then when the Red Devils came back onto the field, they let loose their familiar second-half power to score the touchdowns which clinched for them the U. P. Championship. Final score: Ironwood 21, Stambaugh 6. Robert Mazurek (senior), Mizzy , whovas elected captain of this year 8 squad, was known for his brilliant defensive play at tackle. He aided the team's cause greatly by his blocking of kicks and his superb tackling. Resides being elected to the All-Conference team. Bob received honorable mention on the All-State squad. Raymond Kuklenski (senior), Kirby , who was our line-cracking fullback, was also elected to the All-Conference team and received All-State honors as well. Besides being our leading scorer and one of our leading ground gainers, he performed a masterful Job at backing up the line. James Carpenter (senior), Carp , our fighting redhead and stellar guard, was another member of the All-Conference team. Although seemingly slow at most things, Carp proved on the gridiron that he was one of our fastest charging linemen. y-rpnlr Stann (sophomore), Franky , although only a sophomore, was one of our fastest and most deceptive backs. Besides his clever running, his excellent passing and kicking will make him a great threat to our opponents in the very near future. Tfynas Erickson (senior), Jimmy , our accurate-passing center, teamed up with Kirby in backing up the line. His power and ruggedness made him a dangerous defensive man and earned for him a place on the All-Conference team. James Gotta (junior), Jimmy is one of our most promising ends for next year. His great nass-receiving ability and fine defensive play will make him a constant threat next year. John Hk2£ (senior), Otto , was one of oar best blocking backs as well as one of oar best ground gainers. His tremendous passing and kicking ability made him a triple threat star. His ability gave him a berth on the All-Conference team. Richard Hendrickson (senior), Dick , was our other outstanding guard. Although he was the lightest man in the line, he was one of the toughest, and he was elected to the All-Conference second team. Although Dick usually did not say much, he was always in there plugging. Keith Siskonen (junior), Dicky , was undoubtedly our fastest back and one of our best passers. If he is not inducted Into the service, he and Stano will make a good passing and running combination for next year. Nick Pavlovich (junior), Nick , a member of the All-Conference second team, was our finest pass-receiving end, and during the last few games, especially, proved to be a great defensive man. He teamed up with Hendrickson and Mizzy to make the left side of our line the finest in years. Nils Lakvold (senior), Nils , was one of our bulwarks on the right side of the line. His fine blocking opened big holes for our line plungers. His fighting spirit and general good play gave him a berth on the All-Conference team. Marshall Treado (junior), Marsh , a hard-driving back, time after time proved hie ability as a fine runner as well as an expert signal caller. Marshall, who will be the nucleus of our next year a backfield, was elected to the All-Conference second team. Joseph Gotta (senior), Joey , received the honor of being elected captain of the All-Conference second team. He was known throughout the year for his uncanny ability for calling the right play. He also was an excellent pass receiver and a fast, clever runner. Robert Sandell (senior), Sandy , the biggest man on our championship squad, was undoubtedly one of the best defensive ends in the conference. He was one of the factors which made the Red Devil line the best in years. Besides his defensive play, his blocking ability gave him a berth on the All-Conference team also.

Carrying on where they left off in football, the quintet exemplified their already well known second half comeback spirit by winning ten straight victories before bowing to the determined Hurley Midgets. This defeat, however, did not break the will to win spirit in the battling Devils, who went on to clinch four more battles and the conference championship before being narrowly edged out in the district final by a determined Stan-baugh five. Not once or twice but eight times the Cagers overcame their opponent's lead to surge to victory in the final moments of the game. People called us lucky, but we sincerely believe that the squad as a whole had the best team play of any team for years. It was due to this fact that we could put on a little more steam than our opponents could compete with. Joe Gotta (senior). Joe, our captain, was deeidedly the sparkplug of this year's team as he was our leading scorer. Joe had a great fighting heart, spearheading our team to all of its brilliant victories. His indomitable spirit provided the punch that palled many seemingly lost games out of the fire. Joe was also elected captain of the All-Conference team. Bob (senior). Bob's height made him a valuable asset to this year's Red Devil squad. Hi3 outstanding feature was a phenomenal left-handed push shot. Pftvinvlch (juniorNick's happy but determined spirit was typical of that which led the Red Devils to a conference championship. Nick's good rebound work and all-aroung play slate him to be a mainstay on next year's team. Jin A1 b«rt. (senior). Although unable to play last year because of an injury, Jim displayed a great come-back spirit this year. He improved consistently throughout the season George Craft (senior). George's fighting ability was brought out most distinctively in the tournament. George made fine use of his high Jumping powers in leaping for rebounds. Roy Ahonen (senior). This Blone Boater in his ability to cut for the basket surpassed all other members of the team. Roy was one of the most greatly improved players of the year. John Domenclch (junior). Cowboy was one of the fastest and scrappiest members of the squad. He will be a fine prospect for next year if not called into the service. Bernard Skud (senior). Beraie earned the admiration of the Red Devil fans when he sank a long shot during the last three second of play, to clinch the first Wakefield game, 30 to 29. Bemie displayed fine defensive ability and played consistent ball throughout the season. Bay Kuklenskl (senior). A one-handed push shot by Kirby in the last fifteen seconds will long be remembered by the Hurley fans, as it gave the Devils another of their thrilling victories. Kirby provided the sip for many of the Devils games. Jim Gotta (Junior). Jim was one of the coolest and best all-around guards ever to don the basketball suit in this high school. His rebounds, ball handling, and team play won him a guard position on the all-conference first team. He and Marshall will be the nucleus of next year's squad. John King (senior). Otto , who alternated with Nils at the pivot spot, distinguished himself as being a real battler. He had outstanding ability on rebounds and added a scoring punch that showed itself in many an important game. Marshall TreadLo (Junior). Marsh was one of the steadiest performers on the squad. His dependability and fine play under pressure made him a valuable asset to the team. He showed up especially well in the tournament, and he will be one of the mainstays of the team next year. Dick Slakonen (Junior). Dick was one of the most aggressive players on the team. Although short of stature, his amazing speed and dribbling, as well as his excellent ball handling, made him one of the most valuable players on the team and got him a position on the All-Conference second team. Nils Lakvold (senior). Nils, one of our rangy centers, was the only three letter winner on the squad. His fine rebound play aided the Rad Devils greatly in many of their crucial games. Nils1 backhand shot was a hard one to stop. The 1943 tennis season under the guidance of Bill Lyne, was very successful. In terns of tennis, it made us nationally known when Robert Petrusha and James Albert participated in the Western National Junior Tennis Tournament at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Bob was defeated by Gene Garrett of San Diego, California, who is rated second in the Western and fourth in the National. Bob is now rated tenth in the Western Tennis Association. More locally——the team composed of Bob Petrusha, Jim Albert, Richard Risku, Richard Johnson, Sam Bennett, and Nrwin Johnson placed second in the conference meet at Wakefield. Although Hurley placed first as a team. Bob Petrusha took the conference singles championship. . , At the invitational meet at Marquette, Robert Petrusha won the Upper Peninsula singles title, while Marquette took the team title.

The senior class play, Ever Since Eve , written by Florence Byerson and Colin Clements, was one of the cleverest comedies ever presented to an appreciative aud-dience. The story concerns the problems of the high school newspaper staff, which tries to pat oat a special Christmas issue, when the new journalism teacher, Miss Willard, insists that the girls mast have a fairer show. As Johnny Clover, the editor, and his best friend. Spud Irwin, sit in the remodeled nursery, now known as the office , they learn that Susan Blake has been elected assistant editor, and Betsy Erwin, her assistant. As if this weren't enough, the boys get the measles, and Susan and Betsy manage to get everything muddled up, including Johnny's romance with a southern belle, Lucybelle Lee. Eventually all is straightened out, with the help of Mr. Quinn, the principal, and Officer Simmons, the small-town police ofiicer. Through it all Mr. and Mrs. Clover, the former a gentle, absent-minded man—the latter, a competent, domestic woman, regard all the happenings with secret amusement. The play ends with everyone going to the Christmas formal—that is, except Preston Hughes, captain of the football team—who at the last is stricken with measles1 THE CAST: Johnny Clover..

B-a nuJvrcL 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, I rraine Stockhaus. We had loads of fun getting acquainted at our first class party, which was held on January 22. Four boys of our freshman class were members of the football team, and one, Frank Stano, received his letter. Ten boys attended basketball practices all season end were victorious in the two games in which they played. Walter Olson was the only member of our clast 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 Oison and Bill Mazurek received their first. Nine of our boys who were active in the TB“ team in basketball this year should form a nucleus of next year's 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.
