Dedication We, the class of 1980, wish to dedicate this yearbook to John Krznarich, a long time teacher and friend of everyone at Luther L. Wright and the Gogebic Range. Mr. Krznarich was born and raised in Ironwood. After graduating from L. L. Wright, he continued his education at Ironwood Junior College for one year. He received an athletic scholarship to Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. While in high school, John nad little time for extracurricular activities as he worked and, believe it or not, was very shy. Making it through college was not an easy task during the depression years. In college, he played football and basketball with great enthusiasm. In fact, Merts Morterelh, Coach at Wisconsin State University, was one of his teammates. Other classmates were Ann Landers and Abigail VanBuren. His decision to teach was the outcome of a mining accident to a fellow worker. In 1940, he came to Luther L. Wright to teach Social 12, the only subject he taught in his 40 years in the classroom. December 15. 1942, he joined the army and served in the European Theater in General Patton's 3rd Army. On January 7, 1946, he returned to teaching at IHS. He resigned in 1946, but returned in time for the 1947-48 school year. From now on it's reducing the rabbit population on a full time basis.
