September, 1944, brought our class to the L. L. Wright High School. Although the first few months of our new experience left us only bewildered, we managed to elect Bobert Janatis president of our freshman class; George Ifclak, vice president; Mary Anderson, secretary; and Bob Larson, treasurer. We accomplished this, our first major achievement, with Miss Janet Beid as the freshman class adviser. Our freshman basketball team looked vory promising, as did those boys who were on the football squad. As sophomores we thought that we were tops. We could laugh at the frosh who wandered into the wrong classes and tried opening his lock convinced that it was his. Miss Ruth Birge assisted us in electing the following 'class officers: Ray Puranen, president; Ray Boszak, vice president; Betty Sweanor, secretary; Duane Smetana, treasurer. Bred Albert gained recognition for being the only sophomore to be elected to the National Athletic Honor Society. He also won the Upper Peninsula Singles Tennis Championship. Ronald Michaelson was the only sophomore who earned his football letter. Relaxed and prepared for a very active year, we entered the school in September, 1946, as the lower-higher classmen. Ronald Michaelson was elected president; Blaine Rowe, vice president; Prances Talaska, secretary; and Betty Sweanor, treasurer. Miss Janet Goudle directed our activities for the year. Blaine Rowe, Prances Talaska, Bldrid HJalmquist, and Pat Kellet were elected to the National Honor Society. The boys chosen for the National Athletic Honor Society were Bred Albert, Arnold Brown, Robert Larson, and Duane Smetana. The prom with the theme of the Rickety Rick Shaw was a great success. Ronald Michaelson and Audree Pickmosa, his queen, presided over the affair. Blaine Rowe wen first place honors in the district extemporaneous speech contest and placed second in the regional forensic meet. At last in the faJ.1 of 1947 we entered the halls of the school as the highly esteemed seniors. We chose the following as our class officers: Hyman Levinstein, president; Blmer Sandene, vice president; IXiane Smetana, secretary; Joe Pavlovich, treasurer. In December the second annual Christmas Formal was held in the Sleight School Gym which was decorated with lighted Christmas trees and had the ceiling covered with stars. Throughout the year we have worked on this 1948 Hematite. In this and other activities Miss Jennie Johnson, class adviser, has worked with us. Now it is spring again. After four years of hopeful anticipation, we shall soon achieve our goal—graduation. But before this memorable day, we can look forward to the senior class play, The Moon Makes Three, which will be presented on May 19 under the direction of Miss Hayek. There are also the class picnic, the baccalaureate services, and then the blue caps and gowns 1 Ky 771271 Xeirinsiein p ies. £{mesi S can Len vile f.ne% Duane Smetana. sec. Qairtovie i 1 iea.s.

In November the society sponsored the annual all-school party, a Sadie Haw- kins Hoop 'n Hollar,B from which the proceeds were contributed to the Hematite fund, to help pay for the coders. Twenty-one new members were Inducted into the society on April 20, eighteen of whom were seniors and three Juniors. Wearing black caps and gowns, the four old members had charge of the ritual. Patsy lellett gave the introductory qseecfa and explained the meaning of the society's emblem and colors. The four principles of the society were explained by the following members: Scholarship, Frances Talaska; Character, Eld rid Hjalmqulst; Leadership, Elaine Rowe; Service, Patsy lellett. New members, carrying unlighted candles received light from each of the four candles representing the 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 da86 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.

Sen o l (PUy ■The Moon Makes Three was the title of the 1948 senior class play presented on May 19 under the direction of Miss Bess Hayek. The story is as follows: Sixteen-year-old Marsy Bailey thinks she doesn't envy her two sisters leaving for a masquerade dance; she believes that she would rather curl op with a psychology book. But Grandma, who reads psychology herself knows Marsy®8 true feelings, and she sends her off to the dance in true Cinderella fashion. At the party, in Grandma's dress, Marsy meets a handsome Southerner .Llib becomes as gay as the colored lanterns, and she dances merrily until the clock strikes twelve. However, it is the masked stranger who disappears. He has left behind a shoe as a clue to his identity. For three weeks she suspects every boy she meets. Finally she decides it was her oldest sister's fiance. An hour before Eleanor's wedding, during the confusion of the last minute preparations, Marsy confronts him. Then she learn the rest of Grandma's scheme. She discovers that the neighbor boy has qualities which surpass those of any Southern gentleman, and he is far more interesting than psychology. At the same time the neighbor boy discovers that there is more in life that a second-hand car.

Hibbing was having the breaks in their favor as they scored their first touchdown when one of their players stole the ball and ran for a score. A Red Devil fumble set up their second touchdown. Ironwood then went to work and marched 80 yards for their first touchdown. Another 80 yard inarch after the intermission found the Red Devils ending up in the Hibbing end zone. The Red Devils had a 14-12 advantage until midway in the final period when Hibbing completed a pass that resulted in the winning touchdown. The final score was Ironwood 14, Hibbing 19. Sept. 12: This week the Red Devils Journeyed to Calumet and won their first game of the season by defeating the Copper Kings 25-13. Ironwood Jumped into an early lead and led at halftime by 19-0.

The Copper Kings scored another six-pointer late in the game. Sept. 20: The Red Devils, on the road for the third straight week, traveled to Escanaba and were beaten by the Eskymos 21-6. Escanaba scored once in each of the first three periods and the Red Devils pushed across their lone score in the fourth quarter. Ironwood was outplayed in the first half, but showed the Eskymos some real power in the third and fourth periods. Sept. 27: In their first home game of the season the Red Devils were defeated by the Bessemer Speed Boys. The score was 20 to 7. Ironwood scored first on a beautifully -executed pas9 play. The try for the extra point was good. The Speed Boys then went to work and rang up three touchdowns, two in the second quarter and one in the third, to clinch the game. Oct. 3: Sparked by Oeorge Kolak, the Ironwood Red Devils won their first con- ference victory by downing the Hurley Midgets 6-0. The Red Devils got a break when a poor kickoff by Hurley at the start of the game was downed by the Red Devils on the Ironwood 45 yard line. From this point the Red Devil backs(Brried it to the two yard strip where Hurley held. The Midgets worked it back to the twelve but Ironwood recovered a fumble and Kolak then scored in three running plays. Oct. 9: The favored Bed Devils were upset by the Ashland Purgolders when the Ore Dockers completed a touchdown pass in the last two minutes of the game. Both teams piled up yardage, but neither could penetrate the other a twenty-live yard strip until Ashland pushed across the winning tally. Oct. 17: The undefeated Menominee Maroons, rated the top team in the Upper Peninsula, ran up an impressive score in downing the Red Devils. Menominee scored on their first running play and tallied five more touchdowns before the final whistle was blown. Ironwood could not get any closer to pay dirt than the five-yard line, as the Maroons defense stiffened each time the Red Devils came within sight of the goal line. The final score was 39-0. Oct. 24: In their last game of the season the Red Devils were beaten 13-0 by the IXiluth Central Trojans. This game renewed an old grid rivalry which found Ironwood outplaying the Trojans in the initial frame. Duluth scored their first touchdown late in the second period on a pass.
