Wright High School as we chose the theme for our HEMATITE. Long after the words and voices of our fellow classmates are forgotten, there will linger with us the memories of joyous days we have known, captured in the pages of the HEMATITE. Throughout our school life music has played a large part, and it is with music that we have tried to express the different phases of high school activity, from Dancing in the Dark” at the Junior Prom, to the Memories left to the seniors as they reach for their diplomas. As we look back over the years of our school life, our thoughts turn to our parents and all that they have done for us. We recall the interest shown when we came home from an exciting ball game, the humor we shared over an amusing incident in school, their happiness when we received the all-important “bid” to the prom, their understanding when we brought home our report cards, and much more. In many instances parents have made sacrifices to enable their children to acquire an education. For all of this we sincerely say, “Thank you. ” Deep appreciation also goes to the faculty of our school who have helped to make our school life a time of cherished memories. They have displayed patience and understanding and have given freely of their time and energy, both in curricular and extra-curricular activities throughout the years. It has been a pleasure to have had a faculty such as ours, and therefore we say, “Thank you, sincerely, our faculty.” We hope that everyone who looks over this book now, or twenty, or thirty years from now, will enjoy it as much as we, the HEMATITE staff, have enjoyed preparing it. We hope that you will cherish it for a long, long time. “The music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more.” £ U.. li Jjjij' r p P r,- «TT t me a - lone, But still you’re my own! In my beau - ti- ful Mem - o nes. Janet E. Reid Dedication It is with deep appreciation that we, the Senior Class of 1952, dedicate this HEMATITE to our friend and former instructor, Miss Janet Reid, who has been away from us this year on a leave of absence. During her many years as a teacher in our school. Miss Reid served in many capacities, devoting much time and effort to the welfare of the students. We have learned that when our school was organized as a junior-senior high school, besides teaching social studies, Miss Reid also served very capably and graciously as the dean of girls in the junior high school, directing many extra-curricular activities. Later, with the elimination of the junior high unit from our building, Miss Reid taught social studies in the senior high school and also was the Freshman Class adviser for many years. For all that she has contributed to the Luther L. Wright High School, we therefore take this means of expressing our gratitude to Miss Reid. We wish her health and happiness for the future. We hope that she will enjoy with us the “musical journey” through the pages of our annual. Standing: Mrs. Margaret Holmberg, Medro Iafolla, Robert R. Wright, Arthur E.

We, the members of the Senior Class of 1952, wish to express to the Board of Education and to the Superintendent, Mr. Erickson, our appreciation for all that they have done to aid us in our school careers. We realize that there are many things which are their concern of which we may have little or no knowledge. For their interest and their efforts on behalf of the schools of Ironwood we wish to thank them. Arthur E.

(ioudic As the last class which had the good fortune to have Miss Janet Goudie and Miss Jean Goudie as instructors, before their retirement in 1951, we, the Class of 1952, wish to add our tribute to that of the Class of 1951, which dedicated the 1951 HEMATITE to them. Some classmates and others were unable to get copies of the 1951 annual. For that reason, and because we feel that the 1951 dedication very well expresses the feeling of all of us, we are taking the privilege of quoting that dedication just as it appeared in the 1951 HEMATITE. To Miss Janet Goudie and Miss Jean Goudie: The members of the Senior Class of 1951 are very happy to have the privilege of dedicating this HEMATITE to you, our friends and former teachers. As we turn our thoughts to you, we realize how many things you have done for us. We remember with what interest and enthusiasm you shared with us your varied knowledge and wisdom and with what patience and unselfishness you guided and counseled us in all that we tried to do. We realize the sincere interest which you always had in each one of us. With deep affection and gratitude we shall always recall the time spent with you and the many ways in which you enriched and influenced our lives. In attempting to express our appreciation we feel that we are also speaking for the hundreds of other graduates of the Luther L. Wright High School who have known you and who also think of you with affection and respect. Most sincerely. Seniors of the Class of 1951” lie jiay tribute tu Hiss Janet (i. liouilie Not only in Ironwood, but in other parts of the United States, and even of the world, there are former students of Miss Janet Goudie and Miss Jean Goudie, many of them in high and responsible positions. No matter what their station in life, these alumni and alumnae of the Ironwood High School and of the Luther L. Wright High School feel that they owe much to these former instructors. Whenever those who have been away from Ironwood come back here, one of the first questions they ask is about their former friends and teachers, the Goudies. At the time of the announcement of their retirement, at the end of the 1949-1950 school year, the following editorial appeared in the Ironwood DAILY GLOBE. With the permission of the GLOBE, we are quoting the editorial, in full, as an expression of the feeling of the community. Announcement by the Misses Janet and Jean Goudie that they are retiring after long years of service to the community as members of the Luther L. Wright High School faculty will be accepted by most people of Ironwood with deepest regret. Few school systems have ever been blessed with two teachers of such great ability, wisdom, and interest in the youth of the community. The Goudie sisters set up high standards for their classes, and fortunate were the students who came under their guidance. They were strict disciplinarians, but the discipline they taught was just and based on the principles of good citizenship. Their influence on the youth of Ironwood extended far beyond the four years of high school. None of their former students will ever forget their insistence on the best work of which each boy and girl was capable, and they will be remembered not only with the greatest respect, but with affection long after many other teachers are forgotten. And it was! The Class of 1952 chose “Springtime” for the theme of their Junior Prom. Under soft blue lights dancers circled the cascading waterfall, while Bryce Gribble, entombed beneath the mountain, kept the machinery running smoothly. A wishing well attracted prom-goers, as many threw in a penny and wished for luck. The highlight of the prom was the Grand March, led by Prom King, Tom Doman, and his Queen, Lois Lindbloom. Dreamy music made the evening complete as the Loveliest Night of the Year” came to a close.

We shall always remember those cold Saturday afternoons when we slaved away trying to meet our deadline, typing copy “like mad and frantically re-writing stories that were turned in late or, worse yet, were never turned in at all. When the staff was organized at the beginning of the year, we were determined to make our book “different.” Although we were thoroughly mystified by some of the terms in the printer’s manual and in despair thought we would never get the copy off to press, here is the product of all our worry and hard work, a book that we are proud to present to you. We mustn’t forget the untiring work of the members of the Business Staff, who each morning braved the cold winds blowing from the front door and smilingly waited to accept your orders for the HEMATITE. In spite of all the difficulties, we have enjoyed working to make this “bigger and better” annual, and all we can say is that we hope you’ll like it. a Row 1 - J. Mattson, P. Wolz, J. Saari, N.

National Honor Society The highest scholastic honor a student in our high school can attain is to be elected a member of the National Honor Society. This organization is a national one, somewhat comparable to Phi Beta Kappa in colleges and universities. Its colors are blue and gold, and its emblem is the keystone and the flaming torch. The four cardinal principles upon which election to the society is based are Character, Scholarship, Service, and Leadership. In scholarship a student must be in the upper third of his class. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class may be elected, and not more than five per cent of the junior class. Members of the society are voted upon by the faculty after careful consideration has been given to their records both for scholarship and citizenship throughout their years in high school. The Ironwood chapter of the National Honor Society, Number 110, was organized in 1922, with eleven charter members. To date a total of 344 boys and 519 girls have been selected for membership from the Luther L. Wright High School. March 17, 1952, marked the induction of thirty new members into the Ironwood chapter of the National Honor Society, twenty-one seniors and nine juniors. The seniors were the following: Betty Antonino, Joan Erickson, Marlene Erickson, Ruth Estola, Ronald Grose, Anne Hocking, Charles Johnson, Judy Lake, Carol Larson, Donald Lascody, Barbara Lindquist, Joan Lundin, Joyce Maki, Paula Massie, Jo Ann Mitchell, Carl Mockross, Nancy Nisula, Greta Richards, Erwin Richter, Marilyn Serrahn, Brock Strom. The juniors elected at this time were Donna Ellis, John Fleischbein, Margaret Kraemer, Kenneth Kujanson, Richard Lutey, John Pinkerton, Richard Salo, Edith Spetz, and Evelyn Tassava. Seniors elected last year as juniors are Edward Bawden, Beverly Bishop, John Erickson, George Johnson, Vivian Johnson, and Margaret Warren. Row 1 - H. Beckstrom, M. Johnson, L. Duckstad, K.

Debate The Ironwood Debate Club, under the coaching of Mr. Frank Bednar and Mr. John McChrystal, ended their season with a record of six wins and three losses. This record is especially noteworthy when one considers the fact that out of the nine debaters comprising the team only two had had previous experience. In the first debate held at Kingsford on December 8, 1951, the club established a record of four wins out of five debates. The affirmative team made up of Dick Salo, a junior who began debating this year, andjohn Erickson, a senior who completed his fourth year in tournament debate, defeated Manis-tique and Escanaba. Karen Heiberg, a freshman, and Vivian Johnson, a senior, also a veteran debater of four years, made up the negative squad. They defeated Kingsford but lost to Newberry. In the reserve debate, two freshman girls, Marjorie Johnson and Leonette Hamel, came through with a win over the Manistique negative squad. Later in the season the club added another member to the group, a promising debater, John Pinkerton, a junior, who won a berth on the first negative squad when they journeyed to Marquette for the finals. At Marquette the debaters won two and lost two. Although they did not enter the semi-finals because of the losses, Ironwood massed more points than did some of the 1 teams who did enter. Each team won one out of two, the affirmative beating Manistique and losing to Ishpeming, and the negative winning over Menominee and losing to Newberry. Other reserve debaters on the team are Helen Beckstrom, a freshman, and Lisa Duckstad, a sophomore, who will make good I material for next season. Ironwood can be proud of its debate team. Row 1 - P.

Student Council “I rise to a point of order, “I move the previous question I “1 rise to a point of personal privilege,” and similar parliamentary expletives issue from the Activity Room on Tuesday mornings during home room period as the Luther L. Wright Student Council meets, under the leadership of President Don Lascody, Vice-president Ed Cannon, Secretary Pat Wallie, and Treasurer, Dave Shaughency. Proving itself the active group which it is intended to be, the Student Council carried on many successful projects, such as a student ‘suggestion box,” selecting the 1952-1953 assemblies, and discussing the possibility of having activity cards, student courts, and student-governed study halls. Our Student Council truly has done a good job. Row 1 - M. Warren, M. Holmberg, G. Richards, C. Gotta. Row 2 - C. Mockross, G. Johnson, Mrs. Matthewson, R. Hill, L. Colassacco.

Future Teachers of America is a national organization in high schools and colleges. Its purpose is to acquaint students interested in the profession with the various types of teaching. They plan for their college education, and correspond with former high school students who have or are studying to become teachers. Each F.T. A. Club takes for its name, the name of some local, state, or national educator. Our club chose the name Signe Ruth as a memorial to Miss Ruth, who passed away last year. The main project for this year concerns the collecting of information concerning Miss Ruth in order to write a biography.

During the past years the members have built and studied various types of radio sets. Several of the members, who had an understanding of radio prior to the formation of the club, have given lectures in which some of the difficulties which the new members are likely to encounter have been explained. Movies pertaining to electricity and radio have been shown from time to time. Row 1 - Cvengros, Kavinsky, Lopez, Werth, Shaughency, Dravecky, Kennedy, Stockhaus.

The purpose of the Art Club is to make art more interesting by doing various things not taken up in regular class work, such as work in oils and textiles and the study of artists and their works. Sometimes there are opportunities for members to work for art scholarships. One of our members gained honor for herself and her school this year by winning one of the Scholastic Art Awards. Julia Kleimola’s entry was included in the limited few selected from nearly 1,100 submitted in the Western-Northern Michigan Regional Exhibition, preliminary to selection of finalists for the National High School Art Exhibition in the Fine Arts Galleries, Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. Congratulations to Julia for this achievement! One of the projects this year was making the backdrop for the operetta, “Robin Hood,” an authentic English village setting, which contributed much to the success of the performance and which drew the highest praise from those attending the operetta. Officers for this year are Marvin Pakonen, president; Vivian Lindquist, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Richard Hentz is the adviser. Row 1-J. Leppanen, A. Suliin, M. Tassava, E. Kleimola, J. Estola, J.

A member of a 4-H Club is able to undertake such projects as gardening, food preparation, handicraft, dairying, and forestry. Serving as directors of the 4-H Clubs is the Service Club with Clifford Leppanen as president, Charles Helgren as vice-president, Nancy Reini as secretary, and Evelyn Maki as treasurer. To become a member of this organization, one must have completed five years of 4-H Club activities, and must have attained a county honor and local honor on one or two projects during those five years. Eagerly awaited by each member of the Clubs is the annual Achievement Day held in the spring, when all projects completed during the year are exhibited at the Ironwood Memorial Building. The program consists of movies, a style show presented by the girls who have made garments, and refreshments. Each year at the Gogebic County Fair the Service Club and each 4-H Club sponsors a float in the parade. Also under the sponsorship of the Service Club are the dances held monthly at the Community Building. Both clubs are under the supervision of Mr. Andrew Bednar, the County 4-H Club Agent. c h 0 1 I II Row 1 - R. Harvey, J. Kangas, J. Thomas, A. Rowe, J. Alexandroni, V. Phillips, C. Murphy G Olson R.

Choir NIGHT AND DAY” our choir could be heard singing, both for their own enjoyment and that of those who heard them, especially the classes situated near the choir room from 11 to 12 each morning. The strains of “01’ Man River” and “Make Believe floated through the halls as we started rehearsals for our first concert of the year, the annual Pop” Concert, presented with the band. The climax of this program was the “Ballad of America,” with John Erickson as soloist. “SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT” - Before we knew it, the Christmas season was here, and on an evening during the last week of school we presented a sacred concert in a beautiful setting, with the theme of “Sing Praises to the Heavenly Lord.” The featured number was the Fred Waring cantata, “Song of Christmas, and we concluded with the traditional “Hallelujah Chorus. This year a 150-voice choir of angel-cherubs” from the four grade schools joined the high school choirs in several numbers. On the last day of school before Christmas vacation, following a custom which is also traditional, the voices of the a cappella choir were again heard through the halls as we went caroling around the building, spreading our own special kind of Christmas cheer. “HEY! FOR THE MERRY GREENWOOD, SAY 1, ANDGIVE ME A BOW OF YEW”-Without delay, Miss White started the new year with operetta rehearsals, and soon the stage of the Memorial Building was transformed into the cool, green glades of merry Sherwood Forest. On February 28 we brought ROBIN HOOD back to life by means of Reginald de Koven’s lively music and Edward Bawden'sportrayal of the man who robbed the rich and befriended the poor. Other members of the jolly band were Carl Mockross as Little John, Bob Cannon as Will Scarlet, Ronald Grose as Alan-a-Dale, Charles Johnson as Friar Tuck, Margaret Warren as Dame Durden, and Janet Hanson as Annabel. Their arch enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, was John Erickson, and the part of his friend, Sir Guy of Gisboume, was taken by Donald Lascody. Robin Hood’s sweetheart, Lady Marian F itzwalter, was played by Margaret Holmberg. “MAKE MINE MUSIC” still continued to be our motto as we started preparing for the Spring Concert. This time the band and choir combined in several numbers, one of which is always a favorite and was specially requested, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” There are many school functions such as Parents’ Night, Armistice Day, and assembly programs, which require the participation of the choir. Miss White also has several groups that perform at civic programs throughout the year. Two groups which have been together for several years and will soon perform for the last time together, because they are mainly seniors, are the Girls’ Trio, composed of Janet Hanson, Margaret Warren, and Margaret Holmberg, and the Boys’ Quartet composed of Donald Lascody, Carl Mockross, Edward Bawden, and John Erickson. This year’s ensemble also included these two groups, and in addition, Pat Vojcik, Vivian Johnson, Ronald Grose, and Charles Johnson. Baccalaureate and Commencement services will bring the choir together for the last performance of the year, and as the senior choir members join the others for the last time, they realize that “Without a song, the day would never end.” Row 1 - P.

Coming to Sherwood Forest to search for the “villainous outlaw Robin Hood, the Sheriff and Sir Guy meet the outlaws, but thinking they are a party of yeomen and not Robin Hood's band, they join them in quaffing several cups of “Brown October Ale. As they all grow “jolly together, they sing a hilarious sextet, and the Sheriff gets so far “in his cups that they are able to steal his warrant for the arrest of Robin Hood. “He is captive, our enemy, we win the day! The entire cast gloats over the capture of the Sheriff, who, rather than marry Dame Durden, admits that he stole a suit of homespun sent to her husband at the Crusades. As they prepare to put him in the stocks, they do not realize that Sir Guy will escape and return with the King's Archers to free the Sheriff and turn the tables on Robin Hood's band, by taking them prisoners. The plot thickens as Dame Durden forces her daughter, Annabel, into marriage with the Sheriff. As the Sheriff tries to steal an ante-nuptial embrace from Annabel, her real sweetheart, Allan-a-Dale, steps between the two and receives the Sheriff's kiss instead of Annabel. The entire cast of “Robin Hood” makes merry at the Sherwood Inn. The outlaws, Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck, rejoice over their pardon from the King; the lovers, Marian and Robin, and Annabel and Allan-a-Dale, are reunited; and the Sheriff, Sir Guy, and Dame Durden, though their plans were defeated, join in the spirit of jollity.

Officers elected for this year are Dave Shaughency, president; Margaret Erickson, vice-president; William Ketola, secretary; and Joan Grant, treasurer. Four general meetings are held throughout the year after school at which time refreshments are served and a program dealing with some aspect of the Latin culture is presented. The Latin banquet, the club’s most important function, is held in the spring. All members dress in Roman costumes, sing Latin songs, and eat Roman food. Prizes are awarded to outstanding students of the club. “Oh! What you said!” There’s many a slip between the tongue and the lip as all foreign language students know. But practice makes perfect and we have our French Club to help us gain a better understanding of France and its language. President Jack Karpinen presided over the meetings held once every month. He was assisted by Vice-President Mamie Mayer, Secretary Marilyn Murra, and Treasurer Paula Massie. For the first time this year, the Ironwood club was entertained by the Hurley students, and we hope to keep this “soiree” an annual event. Row 1 - D. Mattson, S. Anderson, L. Colassacco, M.

Hand As is customary, the band members elected seniors as their officers: Jim Trud-geion, president; Ronald Sell, vice-president; Nancy Nisula, secretary; and Joan Erickson, treasurer. The 1951 grid season saw the largest marching band in L. L. Wright High School history perform half-time shows on the gridiron. Ninety-six agile members went through their paces behind high-stepping drum majorettes. Mr. Hill and his band spent many hours in preparation for the annual Lake States’ Loggers Congress Convention held in Marquette on September 29. The band came home from the convention with first place honors, a distinction attained for the past three years. Red Devil fans agree that the 1951-1952 band was “tops, and this fact was backed by the enthusiastic ovation received when the band was heard in concert during the Michigan PTA Convention held in Ironwood October 17. The band was also kept busy playing at basketball games, pep meetings, and civic functions. Soloists and ensembles were also called upon to furnish music at meetings and special gatherings in the city. Daily practice sessions of the band include everything from classical Bach to modem boogie, with an added touch of humor from Mr. Hill. Though much credit goes to each individual member of the band, without the ingenuity and patience of Mr. Hill as organizer and leader, the band would not be what it is today. The seniors of the band would like to express their gratitude to Mr. Hill for the way in which he so willingly and faithfully worked with us. We salute Mr. Hill the only way we know: “Because of you there’s a song in my heart.” open BAYOU BE6UIN Each year representatives chosen from the juniors of the Luther L. Wright High School are sent to participate in Boys’State at Lansing, a program set up by the American Legion. Every state in the Union has adopted this practice. The juniors selected to represent lronwood for the summer of 1951 were Charles Johnson, Ronald Grose, and John Erickson. They were sponsored by the lronwood Kiwanis Club and the American Legion. Down at Lansing, John Erickson began to campaign, first winning the votes of the Upper Peninsula boys in a caucus meeting. Through the efforts of his cohorts from the Lower Peninsula, he then won the nomination for governor for the Nationalist Party. Later on, with the help of a wonderful campaign department that provided a band, posters, and even motion pictures, he was elected to the office of Governor of Wolverine Boys’ State. From Boys’ State, John was selected to go on to Boys’ Nation, held in Washington, D. C. Only two boys from each state are entitled to participate in the functions at Boys’ Nation. John again entered politics in a try for the office of President, but he was defeated in the nomination. He did, however, support the candidate nominated from his party, and before the elections he gave the keynote speech. His candidate won, and for his efforts John was given the position of Secretary of State, Boys’ Nation. The Boys’ Nation lasted for six glorious days, during which the boys took in the sights of the city and met with the various dignitaries and officers of our nation. “This,” said John Erickson, was the greatest experience of my life. It is a goal for which every boy in high school should try.” II. A. It. litioil Citizen Vivian Johnson This year Vivian Johnson, a senior, achieved the distinction of being selected as the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen of the Luther L. Wright High School. Seniors and faculty members made this selection according to the rules of the D. A. R. organization. Qualities considered in making the award as outlined by the D. A. R. are: dependability, including truthfulness, loyalty, and punctuality; service, including cooperation, courtesy, and consideration of others; leadership, including personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility; patriotism, including unselfish interest in family, school, community, and nation. Vivian has been very active throughout her four years of high school, as you can readily see if you will glance at her list of activities in the Senior section of this annual. She has also been busy with many activities outside of school. An active member in youth activities at the Wesley Methodist Church, Vivian is president of the local Methodist Youth Fellowship and also president of the Fellowship for the entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Last summer she was also honored by being made a member of the executive committee of the Michigan Youth Advisory Commission, headed by Governor G. Mennen Williams. She has attended several meetings of this committee. Vivian’s fellow classmates and teachers feel proud of her and offer their congratulations and best wishes. S. Ballard, B. Bishop, P. Vojcik, E.

Two surging lines of players meet each other on the football field, or the center jumps high in the air to get the tip-off. This makes the tense excitement of the crowd run high, but it is the cheerleaders who blend the voices in cheers. .................. Clad in their red and white jackets and skirts, the cheerleaders welcome our opponents and lead our student body in displaying the ideals of good sportsmanship. Under the leadership of Miss Tabacchi and Miss Papin, the girls have sponsored many of the pep assemblies and some of the dances after games. Beverly Bishop was chosen as captain. Let’s give a cheer for these girls, for who could be more deserving! M. Rappley, J. Perala, J. Nyman, H. Turzak, P. Mattila, A. Mattson, M. Shiffra, N. Johnson. Row 1 - C. Plohocky, V. Landretti, B.

The football season opened on August 31, when the Red Devils battled the Kingsford Flivvers. It seemed that the Flivvers, with the exceptional running of back, Joe Delden, couldn't be stopped. The final score was 13-7, with the Flivvers on top. The following Friday, September 7, the Red Devils traveled to Public Schools Stadium in Duluth where they met a strong Denfeld team. Led by the sophomore battering ram, Pat Cvengros, Iron-wood built up a half-time score of 13-0 and put three Denfeld players out of the game. The final outcome was Ironwood 25, Denfeld 6. The next Saturday afternoon, in a steady downpour of rain, the Red Devils encountered a potent Escanaba team and were downed 18-7. Rebounding from the loss at Escanaba, the Red Devils showed the fans of the Gogebic Range an improved Ironwood grid team. The Speed Boys of Bessemer invaded Ironwood on September 21, Homecoming Day. In the first half the score stood 7-6, with Bessemer out in front. A touchdown in the first quarter by tackle Landretti put the Red Devils out front for a few minutes, but the Speed Boys countered swiftly for a 7-point score. In the second half, all the fans saw a change in the Red Devils, which was due to a very effective half-time speech given to the boys by Coach “Mertz.” In the first few minutes of play, after pounding the right side of the line, the Red Devils scored, and continued to do so until the final minute of play. After the smoke cleared, the outcome was Ironwood 30, Bessemer 7. The next week will not be forgotten by anyone, as the cross-river rival, the Hurley Midgets, came to Ironwood with one of the strongest teams on the Range and won a hard-fought battle by the score of 13-7. Ironwood upset the Ashland Oredockers on their Homecoming Day in a mud battle royal. When the final gun sounded, the Red Devils were ahead 14-0. October 12 marked the day on which Menominee beat Ironwood 20-6. After holding the Maroons, defending Upper Peninsula champions, for three quarters, the Red Devils succumbed to a stellar passing attack. The Menominee team scored all twenty points in the last quarter and stopped a fighting Red Devil aggregation from scoring. The last game of the season was played at Calumet on a frozen field and in below-freezing weather. The Red Devils once again proved that they could do it, by drubbing the Copper Kings 18-0. BROCK STROM - center - “Stremboli” was elected honorary captain by his teammates. He was picked for the U. P. second team and given All-State third team honors. Brock was known for his hard tackling and his field leadership throughout the whole season. HERMAN MISURACO - guard - “Herk, ” a four-year letterman, was placed on the All-Conference first team and on the All U. P. first team. He was picked by the Detroit Free Press for the All-State second team and by the Associated Press for the All-State second team. “Herk” was feared by all of his opponents for his stellar play both on the offensive and defensive. WILLIAM BONNELL - end - “Bill” turned in an outstanding performance in pass receiving and clearing the way for the backfield men around left end. Bill’s clean action on the gridiron brought the respect of the fans as well as of the opponents. Bill was chosen for the All-Conference team. THOMAS DOMAN - tackle - “Cocky,” a two-year letterman, who was always in the thick of the game, earned All-Conference honors. His fighting spirit made opposing linemen respect him. Backing the line on defensive brought him gridiron honors. He was unusually adept at coming up with the ball after a fumble, and at intercepting passes. DAVE YOUNG - back - Buster,” who earned his second letter, was one of the fastest backs in the U.P. His hard running and agile legwork made him a hard man to stop. JOHN KUEHLMAN - end - “T-Ball,” earning his first letter, did all the punting and took us out of many a tight spot. He will be missed very much next year by the team. NEIL KEVAN - center - “Mouse,” as heisknown by all, won his first letter this year through his aggressive tackling and all-around hardiness. He always played his best when needed most. He played an outstanding game against Bessemer. CARROLL PLOHOCKY - guard - “Plojock” turned in many an outstanding performance at the offensive guard position. Although he was the smallest man in the line, his ability to hit hard brough respect from all. i RUDY MUKAVITZ - end - Muck,” although out of action for a part of the season, turned in a remarkable performance as ah outstanding end. His excellent blocking kept the right side of the line strong at all times. GERALD KORHONEN - guard - “Jerry,” considered a find” after the first weeks of practice, proved himself capable of his job at guard. His stalwart defensive play showed everyone that his tackling and speed were of the best. VIRGIL LANDRETTI - tackle - “Virg” made a lineman’s dream come true when he scored a touchdown on a fumble, running some forty yards. He played in the middle of the “strong side”of the line. Virg's aggressive playing stopped many an off-tackle play. He earned his first letter this year. T. Roberts, J. Korhonen, F. Dravecky, T. Doman, P. Cvengros, Mr. Goedde, R. Smith, B. Strom, D. Lascody, B. Vaara, R. Niemi. Basketball The Red Devils of this year came through the regular season with a record of nine wins and seven losses. The varsity represented the school well by placing third in the Michigan-Wisconsin Conference and showing a lot of fight wherever they played. Of the ten varsity members, five will be lost through graduation; but four of the starters will be back and will be counted on to make next year an outstanding one. The “B Team, coached by Mr. Krznarich, went through their season undefeated and will be counted on to contribute to the success of next year’s varsity.

Ilasfbal I he 1951 baseball season was the most successful one that Ironwood has had in this sport, as we finished the season with a record of 9 wins, 1 loss, and a tie for the championship of the Michigan-Wisconsin Conference. Ironwood’s only loss, to Hurley by a score of 6-3, was avenged later in the season with a 9-1 trimming of the Midgets. Pat Cvengros was a big factor in Ironwood’s successful season. We won all 7 of the games he started, including 2 no-hit, no-run games. These 2 victories were over Wakefield, 5-0, and over Bessemer, 9-0. Ironwood placed five men on the League’s all-star team, selected for the first time this year: Frangquist, Koponen, Cvengros, Gregory, and Bonnell. Co-Captains were Frangquist and Koponen. Letters were awarded to the following: O. Frangquist, R. Koponen, K. Borowski, W. Bonnell, J. Karpinen, J. Sobolewski, R. Sell, B. Metsa, F. Gregory, K. Nordling, D. Kennedy, E. Alexandroni, M.

Once again Ironwood was host to the Hurley Midgets. In the first of the two most hotly contested basketball games of the year, the two teams played before the usual capacity crowd. Students from both schools stormed the building when the doors opened at 6:00, hoping for a treasured seat in the gymnasium. A deafening roar of cheers urged the teams on to victory as each fan tried to outdo the other, but apparently Hurley yelled louder than we did I Exuberance was again shown at the postgame dance as orange-and-black victors encircled the dance floor. For after all, “That Old Black Magic prevailed as all we asked for was “Just One More Chance.” It. . T. C. Staff LIEUTENANT COLONEL HAROLD E. DALNESS MASTER SERGEANT EDWARD R. VAN OVEREN MASTER SERGEANT WILLIAM J. CONWAY MASTER SERGEANT JAMES H. TUCKER “Testimonial of Appreciation to PETER MACIBOREK Technical Sergeant, U. S. Army, assigned to Luther L. Wright High School R.O.T.C. from the Board of Education Ironwood, Michigan During this war year you have completed twelve years of service with the Luther L. Wright High School R.O.T.C. Your service with this group, beginning in 1931, has covered the entire period of such training in this city. While serving you have trained hundreds of men to a greater knowledge and appreciation of military life. As a direct result the men graduating from the R.O.T.C. unit have been especially successful in securing advancement in the Armed Forces. You have won the respect and admiration of R.O.T.C. students, the student body, and the community. Quietly and modestly you have been a force for good among thousands of young men of this city. The R.O.T.C. has ranked each year in a very high position in the Sixth Service Command area, largely due to your untiring efforts. Your rifle teams have won the Hearst trophy time after time. Your silent drill teams have been examples of the precision that comes only after hard work and efficient training. The Board of Education hereby extends its appreciation and congratulations to you on your long years of faithful service in Ironwood and hopes that you will remain here for many years to come. Dated at Ironwood, Michigan May 17, 1943 (Signed) Thomas Robins President, Board of Education In Memoriani We pause here to pay tribute to Master Sergeant Peter Maciborek, U. S. Army, Retired, who passed away on July 27, 1951. Although the present students of our high school did not know Sergeant Maciborek as an instructor, most of them knew of him, because of the fine reputation he had established in our school and community. Many knew him as a neighbor and a friend. After retiring, he attended some adult evening classes at our school, because it was his nature to want to remain active. Perhaps he was drawn to the Luther L. Wright High School, where he had spent so many of the last years of his life. When we met Sarge” there, he was always friendly and smiling, as usual. Master Sergeant Peter Maciborek was born in Poland, on May 3, 1895. He came to this country when he was a year and a half old, and after attending school in New York City, he was graduated from one of the high schools there. Having enlisted in the cavalry about 1914, at Fort Slocum, New York, he served in that branch two years before joining the infantry for a three-year term of service. He then enlisted with the Third Engineers, and after three months was again transferred to the infantry. During World War 1 he served with the Seventeenth Division. On September 1, 1931, Sergeant Maciborek came to Ironwood as the first R.O.T.C. instructor. He came here from Milwaukee, where he had been stationed in recruiting service for two years. He was married to Miss Lila Andrews of Virginia, Minnesota, who survives him. While serving as R.O.T.C. instructor in Ironwood, he coached several championship rifle teams. After fifteen years of service here, he retired in 1946. On the preceding page we have entered, as an accompaniment to our tribute, a copy of the testimonial which was presented to Sergeant Maciborek on June 21, 1943, by the Ironwood Board of Education. The 1952 HEMATITE staff feels that this citation fittingly summarizes the contribution made to our school and community by Master Sergeant Peter Maciborek. Foreground - R. Klarchek, C. Mockross.
