Wright High School. Despite our trepidation, our admiration for the big upper classmen, and our bewilderment, we managed to collect ourselves well enough to elect the following officers: Warner Blyckert, president; Bill Kellett, vice-president; Dorothy Banda, secretary; Dolores Klug, treasurer. But we soon gained more assurance and under the able direction of our class sponsor, Kiss Geraldine Westaby, a group of the class put on several skits in choral reading. Many of the boys became active in sports, and our freshman basketball team came out triumphant in their games against the team from the Roosevelt School in Ironwood Township. In the fall of 19V we returned to our alma mater no longer meek freshies but more confident sophomores. Recollecting our own freshman year, we found amusement in watching the confused newcomers become acquainted with their new school life. This year with Miss Ruth Birge as our adviser, we elected Rodney Pertile as president, Mildred Van Halla as vice-president, Marilyn Koivisto, our secretary, and June Hjalmquist as treasurer to lead us. Unique this year was Rodney Pertile in that he received the honor of being the only sophomore boy to make the National Athletic Honor Society. Mary Trezlse won further honor for our class by placing first in the Upper Peninsula Declamatory Contest. After a break of three months' summer vacation we returned in September 19 5 as upper classmen on the ladder of high school education. This year was Indeed a memorable one in all respects. We elected the following as our officers: Curtiss Pollari, president; Joan Skud, vice-president; Joan Suprenant, secretary; Carol Antonino, treasurer. This year three of our class members, Dolores Mollard, Curtiss Pollari, and Marvin Rowe, contributed their able talents to the production of the operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore. On April 12, five juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society. In May, two other Juniors, Warren Olson and Michael Rondeau, attained membership in the National Athletic Honor Society. On May 10, under Miss Janet Goudie's direction, in a gay, old Mexican setting our class acted as host to the school graduates,and friends at our Junior Prom. The affair, which was indeed a success, was reigned over by Curtiss Pollari, class president, and Kathleen Ahonen. This year again, Mary Trezlse won honors at the regional forensics meeting with her original oration, He Is Our Equal. Last fall we finally gained the dignity that comes out of being seniors. Marvin Rowe, Milton Ehlert, Joan Skud, and Jo Ann Walton were elected to the positions of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. This year Ray Curry Erickson received the distinction of being the only Ironwood football player to gain a place on the Michigan-Wisconsin all-conference first team. In December, under the leadership of our four class officers and our class adviser. Miss Jennie Johnson, the seniors sponsored a formal Christmas Ball in an attractive setting of scenes from The Night Before Christmas together with decorations of wreaths and lighted Christmas trees. During this evening, Christmas carols were sung by the group gathered about the organ, punch was served, and all in all it was a very pleasant holiday party. In May, the senior class play will be presented under the direction of Miss Bess Hayek. On Sunday evening, June 1, Baccalaureate services will be held in the gymnasium. During the last week of school we will have our class picnic. On June 6, after four marvelous years, we seniors, wearing blue cape and gowns will achieve our goal in high school—graduation.

CLASS MOM It is Commencement, June 7 1967- The scene ie the new I. H. S. auditorium. The class is the first to graduate from the new auditorium. Flags are waving. The high school hand is playing, under the direction of James Coleman. Unfortunately the band is still in street clothes as the new uniforms ordered in 19 7 have not yet arrived. Principal speaker tonight will be Mis6 Lee Ann Bay, recent Pulitzer prize winner for her research work on the Swiss Navy. Introducing Mi68 Bay wiil be Principal J. Ernest Semenak, who rose to his position through experience gained after long hours spent in the office studying under Mr. R. E. Dear. Among the notables in the audience is the first woman mayor of Ironwood Miss Marilyn Koivisto. There is a slight disturbance in the back of the auditorium. Radio dramatist Patricia Allender tripped in the aisle while entering. It seems Mr. Jack Gotta1b long lanky legs 6till present an obstacle to Miss Allender-brings back memories of Miss Goudie1b English 12. Actresses seem to predominate in the audience tonight. Being seated at present is the great Shakesoearan actress, Miss Margaret Burns, who recently completed twenty-year run on Broadway as Lady Macbeth. Mis6 Burns seems to be admiring the murals on the wall of the auditorium. They were painted by Miss Mildred Van Halla. At this time it seems only right to remark that the construction engineer for this beautiful building was Lester West who has risen to great fame after his hurible beginning building Christmas tree stands for a Christmas Formal. Ironwood is overflowing with visitors for this great event— Mr. Joe Mrofchak, owner of the St. Joseph Hotel, reports that his hotel is filled to capacity. Among the guests are Miss Florence Niemi, noted clothes designer; Mr. Milton Ehlert, who recently gained world acclaim by transcribing the Gettysburg Address on the head of a r in; Miss Mary Trezlse and her protegee, George BroVn reports that all their rooms are very comfortable. The reason that there are so many members of the Class of 19 7 present tonight is that not only did they 6tart the project for this new auditorium, but also because one of their classmates, Marlon DeTunco, ie to receive his diploma tonight. His graduation has been delayed a few years while he gained admittance to the high school library to finish his senior work. Handing out diplomas tonight are little Helen Kostelny and Gracie Begalle. This i8 a partial prophecy for the Class of 19 7 But it is also the prophecy of an auditorium for the Luther L. Wright High School sometime in the future although; Moono may not become coach of the Ironwood High School football team. Warren Olson might walk to school. Marvin Rowe may not set Sinatra back 3 000 years. Bill Kellett might stop being nice to everyone. Joan Skud may never finish her aqua sweater. Nanette Massie might get somewhere on time. Jack Dixon might not become President of the Acme Neon Sign Company. Pat Osterberg might stop smiling. Kenny LaBlanc might not own the Rex Theater. Joan Kronlund might be seen riding 10 miles an hour in Bob Petersons car. Dorothy Lutey might not pas6 a physics test. John Tarle might be seen in overalls 6omevhere. Bernie Krause might smile at Mr. Rajkovich and then, too, our school might have the auditorium it so desperately needs.

JIM MSS EM We entered this huge school as freshmen in tne fall of 1944. After we found our way around the building and had become adjusted to our new status, we elected our class officers. With the help of Miss J. Reid, our class sponsor, we chose, these students to represent uss Robert Janatla, president; George Kolak, vice-president; Mary Anderson, secretary; and Bob Larson, treasurer. During this, our first year in high school, many of the boys were active in sports, especially basketball and football. With Miss Ruth Birge as our advisor, in our sophomore year we elected the following students as officers; Bay Puranen, president; Ray Rozak, vice-president; Betty Sweanor, secretary; and Duane Smetana, treasurer. As we became better acquainted with the school and its occupants, several members of our class nroved to be outstanding, red Albert received congratulations for being the only sophomore boy to be elected to the National Athletic Honor Society and for the U. P. Singles Tennis Championship. Ronald Mlchaelson won honors by being the only sophomore to earn his football letter. Blaine Rowe was chosen to renresent the school in the district declamatory contest. This year we are Juniors, the lower-upper classmen. Miss Janet Goudie is our class sponsor. Our president is Ronald Mlchaelson; oar vice-president, Elaine Howe; secretary, Francis Talaska; and treasurer, Betty Sweanor.

STUOEfll council The Student Council is the student governing body of the school to which the students can present complaints and suggestions to be considered by the Council. The main body is composed of a girl and a boy representative from each class. All class presidents are also representatives on the Council. The first meeting of the Student Council was held October 29i 19 6, at which time the following officers were elected: president, Duane Smetana: vice-pres- ident, Elaine owe; secretary-treasurer, Carol Antonino. Mr. Nick Rajkovlch is the faculty adviser. Meetings have been held every Thursday in Mr. Dearb office. The first project of the Council this year was to start organizing clubs and to encourage student participation in them. As a result many clubs were formed. The next task undertaken was an election among the students to vote oncounty and state officials. To prepare pupils for Intelligent voting and to acquaint them with voting procedures, the Council required that students register before hand. As a result of complaints made to the Student Council members about writing on the walls and food scattered in the halls and in the study halls, the Council launched a drive to keep the school clean. Posters urging cleanliness in the school were displayed in the halls. The Council sponsored a dance after one of the games. Recently it also participated in selecting the commercial assembly programs for next year. Perhaps the biggest and most outstanding project of the Council was the laying of the groundwork of a fund for a school auditorium. Into this fund the money left by the classes of 'h5 and was transferred giving the Council a balance of $356 95 to start with. Plans are now being made for the senior class to raise more money for this project before graduating this spring. f22ui PwrilHJa]jBqUi8t Prances Talaska, Pat Kellett, Elaine Rowe, Dolores Bollard, Ann Lackovich, Florence Niemi, Row 2-Jean Hewitt, June HJalmquist, Joan Skud, Charlotte Nyberg, Cecelia Jilbert, Carol Antonino, Row -Dorothy Lutey, Audrey Kickleson, Carol Erickson, Row z Curtiss Pollari, JoAnn Walton, Joan Suprenant, Marilyn Koivisto, Vary Trezise, Elaine Jalonen, Row -Rodney Pertile, Marvin Rowe, Bill Justusson, Milton Ehlert, David HJalmquist, Ray Erickson, ’ J ihhiim mom sociny In A-orll, 19 6, five Juniors were elected to the National Honor Society. Last fall this group chose the following officers. Milton Ehlert, president; Jo Ann Walton, vice-president; Marilyn Koivisto, secretary; Carol Antonino, treasurer; and Elaine Jalonen, program chairman. On November 8 the society sponsored the annual all-school party to which they gave the colorful name, Paul Bunyan Shindig. Novelty booths decorated with crepe paper of bright colors lined the walls of the room. Among these were a divorce booth, marriage booth, penny tossing game, telegram service, a hat shop, and dart games. Dancing and movies were also included in the evening's entertainment. March 21, 19 7 wns bright not only because it was the first day of spring but also because it marked the date of induction of twenty—three new members into the society, nineteen of whom were seniors and four Juniors. Wearing black caps and gowns and those scholarly looks the five old members had charge of the ritual. Milton Ehlert gave the introductory speech and explained the meaning of the emblem and the colors of the society. The four principles of the National Honor Society were represented and explained by the following members: Scholar- ship, Elaine Jalonen: Service, Jo Ann Walton; Leadership, Marilyn Koivisto; and Character, Carol Antonino. The new members, carrying unlighted candles, received some light from each of the four lighted candles representing the four cardinal principles of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The National Honor Society was first organized in Ironwood in 1922. Those elected to the society must be in the upper third of their class and outstanding in character, leadership, and service. A maximum of fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the Junior class may be chosen as members in any one year. Members of the society are voted upon by faculty members after careful consideration has been given to their records throughout their years in high school. The colors of the society are blue and gold,and the symbol is the flaming torch.

SHIM BlUIlt CLUB The Dramatic Club, open to all Juniors and seniors Interested In acting, was organized in September under the sponsorship of Miss Jean Qoudle. The club elected the following officers! Joan Kronlund, president; Pat Allender, vice-president; Mary Lou Jelinski, secretary; and Marllou Elsemore, treasurer. The club met every other Thursday in the activity room. The meetings were divided, with the first half being devoted to the act of directing and the second half to the presentation of plays. This year's club, however, lacked that essential element in most plays— male players. Thus the acting of the plays was directly reversed from that of Shakespeare's time when men and boys did all the acting, and women were never seen on the stage. Nevertheless, despite the male shortage, this group of amateur actresses successfully put on several plays. Among these were Wisdom Teeth, When Love Is Very, Very Young, and Christmas in Her Ifcres. mu RM m Seniors of the Luther L. Wright high school presented the play, Father Didn't Bother, a three act comedy by Dana Thomas, on May 7 at the Ironwood Theatre under the direction of Miss Bess Hayek. The story revolves chiefly around the Wolfe family, the members of which are: father, to whom the world's a stage, Rod Westeen; mother, who has supported the family for years, Mary Trezise; Miranda, the eldest daughter who loves the gaiety of her home, Joan Skud; Sidney, the younger daughter who is full of youthful vitality, Margaret Bums; Dexter, the fifteen year old son who is brimming over with energy, Lester West. Other members of the cast include, Aunt Harriet, father's wealthy old aunt, Jean Hewitt; John Lyons, father's short-tempered former employer, Milton Ehlert; Beatrice, his wife, Mary Kuzel; Alan, their son, John Erin; Sylvester Ott, who has long worshipped Miranda, Donald Kostelny; Mrs. Peters, a good natured middle-iged woman, Dorothy Randa; Lucybelle, a little neighborhood girl, Nanette Massie; Mrs. Hapgood, a wealthy young matron, Barbara Bloomquist; Grace Norville, a young girl, Stella Colovich. Mother's troubles begin when father walks out of his Job at the Lyon's Paper Company. Father's opinion of Mr. Lyons, which he is not afraid to repeat, is far from complimentary. Further complications arise when father finds out that Mr. Lyons, who is spending his summer vacation under a different name as a boarder At the Wolfe home, is the owner of his hilltop paradise. After using abusive language, he and his family are evicted from the house. To add to the complicating situation is the marriage of Sidney to young Alan Lyons. Finally Christine sells a play which she has written and is going to leave for New York. Father plays the part of father in the play and at last satisfies his ambition to become a great actor. Student directors are Charlotte Nyberg and Joan Walton. Rodney Pertile is the stage manager.

Last fall Mary Treslze became editoi in-chief, and Elaine Rowe, associate editor, Milton Ehlert headed the sports department. On the front page of the Keyhole student readers found articles about the highlights of the school activities. The four inside pages were devoted to lesser hews items, feature articles, and columns about students and everjMi events on the I. H. S. Campus. A few of these columns were Familiar Faces , Inexcusable Inouires , Cheer Chatter , Teen Tattler , and Band Brewings . Page 6 was devoted to the men of the school. Yes, sports of all kinds were found there, even including the kind of candy bars the R.O.T.C. was selling daring the noon hour. The Blue Box drafted Into service by the Keyhole this year was placed the library as a receptacle for letters, news items, and scrap paper, which any student might wish to call to the attention of the editor. Much school history was revealed on humble scraps of paper in the little Bine Box. The Keyhole has traveled far this year, being exchanged with schools all over the country, and sent to the alumni of the Luther L. Wright High School. The twenty-three girls who make up the Business Staff of the Keyhole hold the financial reins of the paper. Under Mr. Baumgartner's leadership these ad-getting girls have found Ironvood's Businessmen very willing to patronize our paper. The staff which meets every third Tuesday elected Helen Walto as business manager, Frances Talaska as assistant business manager, and Betty Sweanor as secretary-treasurer.

CLU8 The I Club was organized last fall under the direction of Mr. Kraemer and Mr. Raykovlch. The group elected the following officers! Byron Zuchowski, president; Melbourne Garland, vice-president; Ray Curry Erickson, secretary; Walter Berzinski, treasurer; and Michael Rondeau, sergeant-at-arms. The Club, made up of athletes who have earned letters in football, basketball, track, baseball', tennis, or golf endeavor to develop sportsmanship, school spirit, leadership, and loyalty among the students. The club's first activity for the year was the sponsorship of a dance after the Iron River—Ironwood football game. They also sold bars at -the games to earn money to purchase a new scoreboard. At present they have $560 for this purpose. More important, however, the I Club showed their gumption when they presented a well planned and worthwhile, yet humorous, assembly on January 16. When our school spirit was at an all-time low the I Club in keeping their purpose to further school spirit put on an assembly which featured two mock basketball teems. Yes, even the somewhat husky football players were out on the floor hitting, but mostly missing, the baskets. To add to the comedy were the rather boisterous and untrained referees. The coaches of the teams themselves led the cheers and proved to be pretty good cheerleaders at that. The game also featured entertainment by Hay Curry Erickson and George Craft at the halves. All in all the assembly was successful, and school spirit was boosted. tin LEADERS Three cheere for the cheerleaders! Through their initiative and enthusiasm, hacked by the student body, we were able to have numerous pep assemblies this past year. The group was under the direction of our band leader, Mr. Michl. To oromote school soirit and cooperation among the schools, our cheerleaders sponsored a tea January' 30, acting as hostesses to cheerleaders from Ashland, Hurley, Wakefield, and Bessemer. A lunch was served, followed by a short program. The cheerleaders are the following: Stella Colovich, Marion Zepuenfeld, Dorothy Banda, Charlotte Surprenant, Julie Bozlcevlch, Jean Cobb, Mildred abol.

This was the debate team, and the creation of it brought the year1s forensics program into full-swing. On December 6 the seven debaters, accom anied by Mr. Bednar, traveled to Ishoeming for the Practice Debate Tournament. There the negative team, consisting of Margo Silberg and Elaine Rove, was successful. Then the team returned to prepare for the real battle for the U. P. Debate League Chamnionshiu at Marquette. On January 10 and 11, the eight Stephen Douglases particiuated in the Seventh Annual U. P. Debate League Chaioionship Tournament at Marouette. In this contest Elaine Rowe and Margo Silberg, taking the affirmative, defeated the team from Kingsford. The •oronosition debated at this tournament was: Resolved: That the federal government should nrovide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at nublic expense. After the debating work was comol-ted, the forensics program then turned its light on the English classes, where the freshmen and 6ouhomores memorized declamations and where the juniors and seniors (unfortunately) wrote their own orations. The work was finally narrowed down to a limited number of individuals who participated in the final elimination speech contest held on March 21. Roy Mueller placed first in the declamatory contest with Tribute to Wendell Wilkie, by Archibald MacLiesh, and Mary Trezise won ton honors in the oratory division with her original speech, Too Much—Too Late—And to the Wrong People. The winners will participate in the district contest at Wakefield. Yes, Patrick Henry must have stirred when he heard these potential orators appeal to the public on a number of different problems. On March 2h the extemporaneous speaking contest was held in which Elaine Rowe placed first. Students from the social science and history classes participated in this contest.

In addition to having won nineteen County honors, she was the State Charapioh in conservation, an honor accompanied by a scholarship, and the state winner in the National Frozen Foods Contest.

She was also present at the 4-H Club showatEast Lansing in 194S-46 participating, in demonstration, Judging contests, and dress reviews, and placing as alternate in the state achievement booth contest. Added to the preceding achievements was the honor of being a delegate to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National 4-H Club Congress at Chicago. Fred Sanger, also a senior has been a member of the Lake Superior 4—H unit for eight years during which time he has completed nine 4—H projects. His activities include garden, potatoes, food preparation, wild flowers, health, physical fitness, poultry, forestry, and wild life.
