Senior Cla33 J4i3tory, Flower: Yellow Rose Colors: Maroon and White Motto: A man's reach must exceed his grasp. In the fall of 191 5 we entered the Luther L. Wright High School as the first peacetime freshman class. Under the direction of Miss Janet Reid we elected the following officers: Lauri Maki, president; Charlotte Surprenant, vice-president; Norma Johnson, secretary; and Marjorie Courtney, treasurer. Toward the end of our freshman year the District Basketball Tournament was held in Ironwood. Throughout the year many of the freshman boys were active in sports and challenged other range Junior higi teams. The next year we returned, not as bewildered and green freshmen, but as grown-up sophomores. With the assistance of Miss Ruth Birge we elected the following class officers: Faye Lake, president; John Gregory, vice-president; John Stanczak, treasurer; and Nancy Carlson, secretary. Erwin Erickson and William Peterson had the honor of being the only sophomore boys to receive letters in football. Erwin also became a member of the National Athletic Honor Society. As Jolly Juniors we chose the following students to lead our class: Ronald Surprenant, president; Andrew Rajkovich, vice-president; Carol Anderson, secretary; Shirley Lassila, treasurer. The Junior students elected to the National Honor Society were Carol Anderson, Rita Lesco, and Ruth Johnson. It was during our Junior year that the school sponsored a magazine subscription drive, proceeds from which were used to purchase a Magnavox. This radio-phonograph has been used to furnish music for many school dances and other events. The physical education classes have also made regular use of the instrument. On May U , 19l 8, under the able direction of Miss Janet Goudie, in a colorful Southern setting, our class acted as hosts to the Senior Class and friends at our Junior Prom. Ronald Surprenant and Faye Lake reigned over the affair, which was a great success. In August, 191 8, we, the dignified seniors of today, entered the school with hopeful anticipation that we would soon achieve our goal— graduation. We elected the following as our class officers: Robert Carlson, president; Dennis Plohocky, vice-president; Frank Milakovich, secretary; Mary Ann Otto, treasurer. Under the supervision of Miss Jennie Johnson, our class sponsor, the seniors on the Annual staff turned out this 191 9 Hematite. At this writing the following events lie in the future. On May 11, under the direction of Miss Rosa Pape, the senior class will present the class play, We Shook the Family Tree. An occasion involving much suspense will be the day on which the National Honor Society members are announced. We shall don our caps and gowns for the first time on Sunday, May 29 when Baccalaureate services are held. On Thursday of the same week we shall be much less formal at the annual class picnic at Lake Gogebic. And finally on Friday evening, June 3» Commencement, when with mingled feelings we receive our diplomas and rise and sing Auld Lang Syne.
