Letter From the Editors For the last several years we have witnessed an increasing concern about the quality of our environment and that of life itself. Because of the current awareness of man's need to preserve his environment, we, the editors of the 1971 Hematite, have selected a theme that is particularly appropriate at this crucial time: Ecology. Some define the seventies as the 'eleventh hour, or man’s last chance to conserve wisely what is untouched an.d to improve upon that which is not. If such is the case, we should avail ourselves of this opportunity with purpose. It is not enough to hope for the best, we, the class of 1971, must assume our share of the responsibility for keeping this planet a hospitable place in which to live and to aspire. May you peruse this yearbook with pleasant memories in pleasant surroundings. Co-Editors,

Dedication James E. Sheridan We, the class of 1971, dedicate this yearbook to our principal, James E. Sheridan, who will be retiring in the Spring of this year, Mr. Sheridan has been principal and Assistant Superintendent of Luther L. Wright High School since 1953. He has also been the Class A and Class B Upper Peninsula Representative to the Representative Council of the Michigan Athletic Board and ex-officio member of the Upper Peninsula Athletic Committee, which regulates athletic activities. Mr. Sheridan, who is the Athletic Director of the High School, has been, in the past, coach of our ski team. A native of Michigan, Mr. Sheridan was bom in a southwestern harbor town called Saugatuck, where he attended high school. He received his BA from Albion College in 1931 and his MA from the University of Michigan in 1940. Before coming to Ironwood Mr. Sheridan was principal and Superintendent at Hopkins and at Vassar as well as principal at both Mt. Clemens and Calument, all in Michigan. Outside of the Principal's office, Mr. Sheridan is an all-round sportsman. A well-known scholar of the Civil War Period, he is often called upon to speak at various organizations. He has spent most of his brief summer vacations traveling to all the battle areas of the Civil War. Mr. Sheridan is a member of the Methodist Church, the Masonic Temple, Rotary Club, Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and various Educational Associations. Upon retirement Mr. Sheridan plans to move back to his home town, Saugatuck, for the summers and to his winter home in Florida. Mr. Sheridan has been an asset to our community all the years that he has lived here. Sadly we part with the hope that his visits to our community will be frequent. We wish both Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan happiness and good 4 health.
