Wright SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Arthur E. Erickson ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT R. Ernest Dear Members of the Board of Education are elected by school voters for terms of four years. Their service to the schools of Ironwood is given without compensation. Responsibility rests with the Board of Education for determining all school policy, approving the selection of all staff members, the courses to be taught, and the instructional materials to be used. The Board adopts and administers the annual budget. Many hours are spent by each member performing the duties for which he is elected. We. the members of the Senior Class of 1953, wish to express to the Board of Education 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. ERICKSON Dedication In recognition of his many years of service in the Ironwood school system, the members of the Class of 1953 resDectfully dedicate this 1953 Hematite to Mr. Arthur E. Erickson our Superintendent of Schools, who is retiring at the close of this school year. Mr. Erickson’s period of service, from 1929 to 1953, is a long one, including the depression and war years, as well as better times, through which our schools were guided safely. For all that he has contributed to the schools and to the community, we take this means of expressing our appreciation. We extend our best wishes to him for health and happiness in the future.

A D M I N I S T R A T I O N F A C U L T Y JOHN KRAEMER - R. ERNEST DEAR Because Mr. Kraemer and Mr. Dear have worked so closely together this year in the administration of the high school, it is fitting that they be pictured together here at the beginning of the faculty section of our yearbook. Their titles varied during the year, but in the second semester Mr. Dear was officially Assistant Superintendent of Schools, as well as Principal of the HighSchool, while Mr. Kraemer was Assistant Principal, in addition to his other duties as a faculty member. In spite of their many duties and responsibilities they have remained cheerful and helpful at all times. The members of the Class of 1953 take this means of expressing to them our appreciation for all that they have done for us and the school.
