We were, of course, what everyone considered green and rather backward. When we ntered the High School we were determined to be a success and nake no blunders as the former Freshman classes had succeeded n doing. We hail to depend on the upper classmen to show u vhat things to do and how to do them as we shall always reS memlvr. It took the greater part of the first semester for us to become accustomed to our new surroundings and work. Another problem we had to meet was that of becoming acquainted with new classmates. The latter part of the first semester we attended our first social gathering. That was the long-waited-for initiation party given to us by the Sophomores. This proved to be a very exciting and thrilling event for us. The early part of the evening was spent in initiation and games, but was interrupted by the Seniors and Juniors who escaped with a vast amount of lunch donated by the Sophs and caused an uproar from everyone. At eleven l ells everyone dispersed for his beloved home. The next social gathering was the return party which we gave in honor of the Sophomores. It proved to Ik a successful event. Our chief entertainer was our class adviser, Mr. Carlin. The year was ended by an annual picnic at Crown Point Park. The next year we were free of the emerald and took upon our shoulders the blarney stone. Our first social event of the Sophomore year was our initiation party which we gave in honor of the Freshmen. This party was a surprise to everyone. Our determination at this party was to make it impossible for the Juniors and Seniors to interrupt us. Guards were stationed at various posts and all doors were locked. But much to our surprise, they broke through in spite of our efforts. We forced them into a corner and put the fire hose on them. They were forced out of the building after the harsh treatment given to them bv everyone in general We all left the building in a dilapidated condition. This party meant the breaking up of the custom of initiation which was manv vears old in W. H. S., as the student council established a substitute and forbade any more such parties. Much to our sorrow we did not get the return party from the Freshmen. We were next noted for our witty stunt pulled off in the assembly hall. It was in the form of a guessing game. The artist of our class made a picture of a Buddha which was placed on the stage. Prizes were awarded to the persons who guessed the most names correctly. We ended our Sophomore year with an annual picnic which we hail at Lake Gogebic with the Juniors. Our next year proved a successful one. We left the blarney stone and received the grindstone from the preceding class. We came back to school with a Page Twenty-six decrease in membership but an increase in “pep ”. Football took a prominent place in the beginning of our Junior year. Our Junior boys challenged the rest of the I ligh School to a game of football and won bv a large score. 1 hey were given a banquet by the Junior girls in honor of their victory. Later in the year basketball claimed the attention of both girls and boys. Both were victorious at the class tournaments, which entitled us to have our name and year engraved on the silver loving cup. The Seniors were downcast and dismayed because of their defeat by the Juniors. Our interest was immediately taken up in our Junior Prom. We were determined to make this prom the most successful of all our events. I he music was furnished by the Cloverland Five of Marquette and over four hundred people attended. We were praised by everyone because of having the best prom ever held in Wakefield. Our Junior year was concluded by an annual picnic with the Seniors at Copper Falls. This picnic was enjoyed by everyone who attended. We entered the High School for our last year as a class of proud and dignified Seniors. Although we nave not demonstrated our studious ability we are known for our athletic ability and pep. We immediately proceeded with plans for our Class Day, which we had on October 6. The program consisted of music and speaking. Those who had the privilege of hearing our program were Wakefield High School, Ewen High School, Bergland High School. Everyone appreciated the concert and was especially pleased because the classes were dismissed for the program. The rest of the day was spent on the northern shores of Lake Gogebic. After a wonderful lunch everyone suffered with terrible stomach aches, even the sponsors. We spent the evening dancing and roasting marshmallows at Hillcrest Inn. Then we turned our headlights toward home. It was a delightful, well-spent day and the most novel class day our school has ever seen. This,our Senior year, has seen some noteworthy developments for our school. Our excellent school paper has large v a Senior staff. Our star boys’ basket-ball team had three seniors on it. We held a novel Hop on April 17. Our Senior Play “Dulcy” was presented as the biggest comedy ever attempted by any class. With our Senior Picnic and closing exercises, we are ready to turn over the proverbial tombstone to the Class of 26. We trust, that in looking back, our short and pleasant trail has been well-travelled. E. J.—L. II. Page Twenty-seven CLASS PROPHECY m So this is New York ' said Herman Hook as he descended from the train, staggering under the weight of his baggage. “Taxi, sir?” And Herman. looking up, recognized his old school-mate, Earl Walton. Earl: “What brings you to this wicked city, Herman?” Herman: This is one of the stops on my tour giving lectures on “The Replacement of Atomic Hypothesis by My Own Theory . Earl: “WV11 discuss that over the dinner-table. I know a dandy place on Broadway run by Velma Jakewav, a member of the class of 25. Business was rather slack so Velma had time for a chat with the boys. Velma: “Did you know that Grace Seals left for England today, to become Dean of a Girls' College? I think she’ll be successful since she was always rather scholarly. Herman: “Is that so? W ell she will probably meet Andrew Broccone over there who is the Italian ambassador to England. He inherited his title of ‘Count’ from a deceased uncle. Earl: “When I picked up ‘The New York Times’ this morning, I noticed that Margaret Simms was chosen Champion Basket Ball Player of the LT. S. As you know, she received her early training at the old Wakefield High Velma: “and Ethel Nikula and Mamie Holma are missionaries to China and doing all sorts of good work. Herman: “W’illiam Weston, with the aid of Sylvia Tusa, who is now his wife, is teaching the Weston Method of WYiting and is slowly reforming the evils of the modern way. Earl: “Let's celebrate our meeting by going to the theater. I know that Evelyn Derosier with John Saari as her leading man is playing in ‘The Nautical Knot’ which is a startling success. On their way down town, when passing a book store, a book, “How the Vocal Organs may be Replaced W hen Once Worn Out , by the famous authoress, Emma Heitikko, attracted H erman's attention. Thinking that it might help him in his lectures, they entered the shop to purchase it, and were greeted, “If this doesn't look like Wakefield , by the charming book-seller, Martha Niemi. Martha: “W’hy, this would make me think of Fat's Place at four o’clock if Steve Maloney, the noted prohibitionist, were present. He won his fame through his eloquent speeches on the 'Evils of Liquor'. And you remember Anastasia, his sister? Well, she’s a scientist and on an extended trip to The Thousand Islands looking for a species of a fur-bearing polliwog. Velma: “Come on, Martha, join us and go to the theater. Upon arriving at the theater Eino Latvala, in a brilliant uniform, escorted them to the best seats in the house. Herman: “Who is that pianist? Martha: “W’hy it’s Chrissie James. And didn't you know that Clarice Kellow led this orchestra? Earl: “By the way, where is Lawrence now? Page Twenty-eight Herman: “Oh! he's the coach of the University of Topaz and last Satur- day they won their annual game with Marenisco. As the game was so hotly contested it was played on the neutral field of Tula. Martha: “On our way home we will stop at the hospital and visit Kenneth Draver, who is just recovering from a serious injury of the knee received while playing football. Dr. Joseph Livo performed the operation.” The performance started and they were pleased and surprised to see Olive LaBerdie and Ruth Johnson in the first chorus. When leaving the theater, their attention was drawn to a large crowd in which Charlie Best, Chief of Police, was the main actor. Herman: Hey! Charles, what's all the trouble about?” Charles: “This desperate criminal stole my old classmate, George Skytta's architectural plans for a new building and I have just caught him. It is fortunate that I did or his wife, Eleanor Johnson, would have to go without a new limousine this vear. On returning to the bookstore, Martha produced a letter from Anna Galinatz saying that she was now a teacher of English in the new Wakefield High School and that May Karting's Beauty Parlour was the most popular place in town. Leatha Hillis! now of Paris, was the most renowned portrait painter of this age and one of her best works was that of Joan Lepinski, the famous actress. They talked for a while longer, but since it was late they wished each other good-luck and good-bye. The next morning Herman left New York to continue with his lecture. „ Page Twenty-nine CLASS WILL To whom it may concern:- Part I We, the class of 1925 of the Wakefield Township High School in the State ol Michigan, being block-headed, do our best in making this our last and only will and testament.

Thirty Page Thirty-one JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President............................................Roman Rvdeski Vice-President.......................................Lucinda Feigley Secretary- Treasurer.................................Eileen Maloney In 1922, our class entered high school with quite a large enrollment. Naturally we were considered “green” and were treated worse by the Sophomores than any other Freshmen class. As all classes, we soon had our election of officers. Later, the Sophomores gave us an initiation party which proved to he the last of its kind due to the actions of the Juniors and Seniors, who broke in, thereby disobeying one of the school’s rulings. Many of our members took an active part in athletics and all school activities so we finished our “Frosh” year more or less eventfully. In our Sophomore year we returned, no longer Freshmen, and accustomed to the school and teachers. We elected our officers as usual, and instead of initiating the Freshmen, gave them a party. The Juniors and Seniors attended again uninvited but were excluded quietly and no trouble was caused. During this year the Sophomores and Freshmen combined, as well as the Juniors and Seniors, to present two Christmas Dramas which were very good and discovered unknown and unlooked for talent in the students. The rest of the year passed quickly and soon in June we were free for a few months with the title of Juniors bestowed upon us. We returned the following year with our enrollment greatly decreased but with much determination to have a successful school year. At our first meeting the following officers were elected: Roman Rvdeski, president; Lucinda Feigly, vice-president and Eileen Maloney, secretary-treasurer. Of all the facultv we chose Mr. Hadley as the adviser of our most progressive class as he seemed the best suited for us and he certainly has not disappointed us. In the student Congress, our class, as all of them, is represented by Roman Rvdeski, Clare MacArthur, Lucinda Feigly and Mary Doulas. This year we held a candy sale which was successful financially and every' other way. We also put on a dance after the big Iron wood-Wakefield Game which was a decided success. In athletics we are well represented by many of our members on the various teams. We are now looking forward to putting on the best “Prom Wakefield High School has ever had and finally to surrendering our title of Junior for that most dignified one of Senior.

We were evidently considered very green Freshmen by the other classes who watched us eagerly the first few months and noticed all we did. Without a doubt we were verdant, for that hue was evident in all our faces and actions. Our class clung together strongly during our Freshman year with Miss Anderson as our class adviser. Upon entering our Sophomore year the enrollment was almost as large as in our Freshman year, but some who were not interested or equal to High School life were left struggling along to seek for themselves. We were ready to help the Freshies and take them under our wings although we were still considered “greenies” by the dignified Seniors. We were more active as Sophomores than we were as Freshmen. An English Club had been organized in our Freshman year admitting any student with an average of 85 per cent or more. We took more interest in it, however, in our Sophomore year. This club as well as others that were organized helped to keep up our interest in our studies. We also made a fair showing in Athletics, there being two Sophomore boys on the boys’ basketball team and three Sophomore girls on the girls’ basket ball squad. Mr. William Wiedrich, our class adviser, took great interest in all of our activities. We gave a party to the Freshmen as initiating had been done away with in the last two years. It was given in the ball room of the Community Building. The entertainment was mainly dancing, although there were cards and other games for those who did not dance. This party proved a success as did all our other parties and activities. We feel that our Sophomore year has removed every trace of that undesirable color and we are prepared to fit gracefully into our new positions as Juniors.

Of those eighty only seventy were left after Christmas. Several students dropped out during the first month and others at the end of the first semester. The remaining members found the work hard, but nevertheless liked High School very much. Most ot them received a shock, however, having been told that High School students took only five subjects and being used to eleven, manv of us expected to have an easv time. Very few of us did! What has the Class done? The Class being busy with school work has had little social work. A large party was held in the early spring. This was the event of the year. In the fall, however, the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a party, welcoming them to High School. It was a great success and the Freshmen enjoyed it very much. The absence of social activities bv Freshmen alone, has not been noticed ami everyone has had a good time working. —A.

H. S.”, as we had many of the team from the previous year. The team practised hard, and with the help of Coach Clulev and Assistant Coach Hadley we had one of the best teams in the history of the school. We played our first game against the “Ironvvood Red ___ Devils”. This game was to decide if we were in running for the championship of the “U. P.” The field was covered with mud and water and the day was cold. Ironwood had a decided advantage both in weight and experience, their average weight being 168 pounds. We were beaten by the score of 22-0. The following week we were scheduled to play St. Ambrose at Wakefield. This game proved to be the worst of the season, for after scoring in the first three minutes of play, W. H. S.” failed to score the rest of the game. St. Ambrose recovered a fumble and made a touch down. The score at the end of the game was 7-7. The game against Hurley gave us our first victory of the season. In this game a new general was uncovered in Gouza who handled the team like a veteran. The boys from the Montreal river city put up an excellent brand of ball, but were defeated by the “W. H. S.” warriors to the tune of 39-7. After a week of hard practice, we departed for Crystal Falls where we were to meet the strong High School team of that city. At no time in the game did Crystal Falls make first down. Wakefield was only held for first down once. The boys all fought up to the last minute of play. When the final whistle blew the score stood 39-0 in our favor. The following week we played Bessemer on our field. Our boys were feeling over confident and had the idea this was going to be an easy game. It turned out to be our down fall. The scrappy county seaters played real football and won from us by the score of 16-6. Our next game was played at Hurley and again we had the idea we were going to have “fish”. After making 14 points in the first quarter we lay down on the job and the final outcome was a tie score 20-20. After this game Coach Clulev put us through a week of hard practice and drilled us on a few new plays and we were ready to meet the strong Bessemer eleven on their field. This being the last game for the most of us, we decided to show people that we could play football. In the first half we scored a safety. In the second half “Ezy” recovered a fumble and raced over for a marker. In the last quarter we carried the ball 80 yards on line plunges for a touchdown. The final whistle found Wakefield on the long end of the score 14-0. Summary of the season is: Two ties. . . .Three wins. .. .Two lost. WHS.............150. OPP............. 72. L. J. H. Page Forty-five FOOTBALL CLULEY CLULEY—Mr. Clulev proved his ability as a coach when he drilled his team into shape the first two weeks of the season and kept them in trim the rest of the year. HADLEY—Without the help of “Russ” Coach Cluley's task would have proved to be a much harder one. HADLEY BROCCONE. Captain BROCCONE—There are full-backs and full-backs, but a man of more value to a team than captain Broccone would be hard to find. His toe saved many a game. Page Forty-six BEST GOU2A FOOTBALL BEST For four years Best put everything he had into the game for W. H. S. He fought as hard in one game as in another. A man to fill the place he leaves vacant will he hard to find. L. H(X)K—Playing his last year for V. H. S. at h a 1 f-b ack Sparky lived up to his name both on offense and defense. His place on the team will be a very hard one to fill. L. HOOK GOUZA—A heady field general, an aggressive leader, a sure-fire tackle on defense — this was quarter back Guzzo in his first year on the team. HANSON — Big boy “Gust” took his stand anti no one came th rough. He found enjoyment in opening holes and bringing his opponents to a dead stop. M uch is expected of Gust next fall. HANSON Page Forty-leven FOOTBALL LI VO—It is no exaggeration to say that “Toledo” never faced a man with greater fighting spirit than his own. His ability to break up plays was a big factor in the well-known defensive strength of the team. YATCHAK — Consistent and dependable always, his services to the squad cannot be estimated too highly. LI VO I. YATCHAK MALONEY—Short on tonnage, but fleet of foot and quick to take advantage of the break, Steve developed during the season of 1924 into a line-man worthy of much respect. CROSBY — Hard-working and tireless, “Doc” possesses the solid qualities which are most desirable in a good line-man. MALONEY I. CROSBY Page Forty-eight FOOTBALL CARR Switched from position to position in an effort to reinforce weak spots in the eleven, he fought as hard in one place as in another. Great things are expected from him in his last year. RYDESKI— In his first year for Y. II. S. Roman proved to be the best fill -in backfield man on the squad. With another year under his belt he will be a great help to his team. CARR RYDI'SKI MAKI jMAKI He thrived on hard work and earned by conscientious effort all the credit that was given him. FERRARO—Playing his first year of football “Joe” made a valuable fill-in man. That he is destined to make a name for himself in his two r e m a i n i n g years cannot be doubted. 1ERRARO Page Forty-nine BASKETBALL I ANSON The Five Horsemen RYDESKI Page Fifty I. YATCHAK L. H(X)I LIVO Boys' Basketball Sqlad Page Fifty-one BASKETBALL BASKET-BALL REVIEW QX Friday, March 6, 1925 the “Five Horsemen” played their last game of the season. The season was one of the most successful W. H. S. has ever had since 1917. In the latter part of November about 50 men turned out for practice. Only four of them were veterans of last year’s squad. The rest were unknown quantities. From this squad Coach Cluley developed a team which was one of the classiest teams in the U. P. having only three defeats out of twenty starts, the stiffest schedule inthe history of the school. Close playing and high grade basketball were the outstanding features of this season’s play. The Horsemen won first place in the District on season’s record. Second place in Class B. was the best effort of the team. It is hoped that next year will see W. H. S. as U. P. champs. A number of men will be lost to the team by graduation, but a few youngsters, uncovered during the season’s grind, show unusual promise of maintaining the standards of W. H. S. Basket-ball teams. TOURNAMENT Yl ITH fourteen victories and two defeats to its credit, our team went t° v Marquette to play in the Class B. tournament held there on March 15 and 14. We had defeated both Stambaugh and Bergland in our schedule, and as no other school could claim first place, our own Horsemen were conceded the first team from District II with Stambaugh as second. For our first game we drew Gladstone. We won easily by a score 27 to 57. The same day we played Munising. It was an up hill fight all the way with Munising leading until the last few minutes, then we went on a rampage and won by one point 14 to 15. By defeating these two teams we were placed in the class finals. Lake Linden was the next and last team we played in our class. The game was a nip and tuck affair with only Time to decide the winner when the final whistle blew. A silver loving cup twelve inches high was awarded by the Northern State Normal to the team for winning second place in the tournament. Silver fobs were also given to the individual players. Sweaters were presented to the “Five Horsemen” bv the school board who in this way showed their appreciation of the team's efforts in winning the Ironwood game. The “dark horse” of the team proved to be Roman Rydeski who was picked as All-Tournament forward this year at Marquette. As for singling out the individual players of the team, it would be a hard task to do. Never before have we found five who worked together in unison as this year's team did. Team work was their specialty with no one out-shining the others. Records show this to be true, for the highest scorer of the year had only a few point margin over his closest rival. We are justified in being proud of our 1925 Basket Ball Team. I'age Fifty-two BASKETBALL Date Opponents Score Goals Fouls Out of W. H. S.

About 25 girls responded to roll at the first practice and stuck until the team was well organized. Wakefield won one game before the Christmas holidays and the players made up their minds to win the rest of the games played that season. By speedy teamwork, close guarding, and accurate shooting they accomplished what they set out to do. Selma Linn, one of the forwards, received injuries that kept her out of the rest ol the games this season. Two other players. Anastasia Maloney anil Margaret Simms were hurt, hut after a few weeks of rest they were able to come back. Three of the plavers are graduating this vear so there will be places to be filled I y new material. The following girls earned letters: Anastasia Maloney played her first and last year making 60 points. She was out ot two games due to injuries. Leatha Hillis, “Lee”, our strong Senior Guard played in all ten games. Margaret Simms, “Mugs”, a Senior, showed her versatility as a player bv playing either guard or forward position with equal ability. She made 38 points playing in 8 games. Eileen Malonev, A Junior who was unanimously elected captain, proved her abilit y as a player by making 104 points against our opponents 103. Selma Linn, A Junior, made 21 points in the first two games. Injuries kept her out for the rest of the season. Irene O’Brien, A Sophomore. This is “Reds” first year on the team and she played a strong defensive game. Della Lemplin, A Sophomore, played both guard and forward positions well. She played in six games and made 35 points. Hycinth O’Neil, A Freshman guard whose middle name should be “Speed.” “Hv” played in seven games. The following girls were awarded: Anastasia Maloney.................................Sweater and One Chevron Leatha Hillis.....................................Sweater and One Chevron Margaret Simms.................................Sweater and Three Chevrons Much credit should be given to the following substitutes: Martha Keskey, A Freshman who played in three games and made 9 points, and Mary Yatchak, A Freshman who played in two games and made 15 points.

This club chose as its vocation the stimulation of literature in the school; therefore it was called “The Literary Club”. During its two years of life, the club has been very successful in gaining the end for which it was established. It has not only aroused interest in the reading of good literature, but has caused a great many of its members to think seriously about the writing of it. Of course the club does not hope to make literary men and women of all its members but it does hope to put them all in touch with the larger things of the literary world. Therefore, we the Literary Club” of twenty-five, wish to extend our heartiest welcome to the club of twenty-six and hope that thev mav also be successful. —L. F.

Wiedrich The purpose of the Club was to become acquainted with some of the noted Frenchmen. All conversation was carried on in French. At the beginning of each meeting we had a short program consisting of reading, poetry and singing. The latter part of the evening was spent sociably in playing games or some other form of entertainment. The meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The French students learned several things as a club, which they would not have learned in class. We hope that the members will be able to use their knowledge of French in future vears. —S. T.

Page Sixty Commercial Club COMMERCIAL CLUB Due to the increase in enrollment in the commercial department of our high school, there grew a demand for the organization of a Commercial Club. In response to that demand, the club was organized with about thirty-five members. The following officers were elected for the year: President, Ruth Johnson; Vice- president, Mamie Molina; Secretary, Jennie Bugni; Treasurer, Martha Niemi; Reporter, Grace Seals. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the business world, and to encourage a social spirit among commercial students, by offering opportunities for social contact. It is the hope of the club to help raise and maintain a higher standard of efficiency among the students of our school. —R. H. J. Page Sixty-one Tattler Staff 7 HE TATTLER YV 'HEN the “Tattler” first appeared in 1922, it was in the form of a mimeographed booklet. The students were not familiar with this type of work, and consequently only a small number contributed any material. The staff, which then included Air. YVeihe, Miss Ashland, Ruth Johnson. Olive TaBerdie, Lenore Seegar and Joe Cohen, had a difficult time financing the paper. The sales were small, and the students showed very little co-operation. In 1923, the mimeographed paper continued to be published. More material was received from students, although the majority did nothing to make it a better piece of high school work. This year the Tattler has been changed from the mimeographed to a printed newspaper. With our brilliant editor-in-chief, Steve Maloney, and our wise and capable adviser. Miss Ruth Anderson, the staff has gotten along very well financially. The city’s business men have co-operated willingly, and we have received generously for ads. More papers have been sold, no doubt because of the good quality and quantity of news. Now the students contribute very liberally of their knowledge and wit; they think it is play to write an article on Shakespeare. The members of the Tattler staff are as follow: Adviser.........Miss Ruth Anderson Society Editor..............Olive LaBerdie Edilor-tn-Chte .......Steve Maloney Senior Editor.........Emma Heitikko Business Manager. .

Much credit should be given to Miss Knud-son, director of music. The alumni and townspeople have been very obliging to Wakefield High School. They have helped in the instrumentation of the orchestra when that was most needed. We feel grateful to them for their work. Pupils in High School do not always realize how important an orchestra really is to a school. It gives those who are able to play an instrument, an opportunity to show their musical ability. Wakefield High School is small, yet it boasts of an orchestra consisting of nineteen members. The instruments include six violins, two flutes, two saxa-phones, one mandolin, one bass viol, two clarinets, one cornet, one trombone, horns, drums and piano. The orchestra has given selections several times during the year for Friday afternoon convocation periods. Any person who belongs to the orchestra has something to be proud ol. because he plays some instrument which others are unable to play. We feel sure that in future years, the orchestra will be of vital importance in Wakefield High School. I he members of the Wakefield High School Orchestra are: Air. Rydeski, Violin Miss Kettering, Violin Willard Burdeau. Violin Anton Ringsmuth. Violin Anton Gembolis, Violin Elsie Nelson, Violin Mr. Thompson, Mandolin Alicia Kumpula. Flute Mr. A. LaVigne. Clarinet Mr. C. Kleimola. Bass Viol Mr. H. Jacobson. Trombone Mr. Hadley, Cornet Mr. J. A.

I Page Sixty-three Girls' Glee Glib GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Not only the school, but the community as well, recognizes the value of the school Glee Clubs. The fact that the Glee Clubs furnish music at various programs in and out of school is not as important as the training the members get at practices. At the same time that the community is indebted to the Glee Club, the Glee Club would become only a nonentity if it were not for the school and for Miss Knudson who has so faithfully and instructively taken the work in hand. Deviating from the usual rule, the Girls Glee Club has adopted a new name, “The H armony Girls”, which name is hoped to become traditional. Practices are held once a week. A yearly production, usually an operetta, stimulates the girls to hard and conscientious work, since certain rules and regulations are employed in selecting the characters, who strive for the necessary qualifications for the leading parts.

We claim nothing phenomenal in our accomplishments to date, but we believe we have made progress which our classmates should recognize as quite worthy of our age. Our club meets once a week during school hours in the music room for one forty-five minute period of singing. We are doing two, three, and four part music not only of old time favorites, but of some of the very recent songs. Our members have enjoyed the work under the leadership of Miss Knudson to the extent that we firmly believe our future progress will far outstrip our present activity, and we ask you to judge us as an organization from the standpoint of our possibilities rather than bv our progress. —H. S. L. Page Sixty-five THE YEAR IN PUBLIC SPEAKING HE year 1924 ushered in the first class in Public Speaking marking a new interest in the school. Since the nature of the work brought the pupils to the notice of the student body and j® public, this class came to play a more important part in the school calendar than some others. Although we have been asked to tell about the one-act play contest, there is other work, however less novel, which deserves Hist as much mention. The four types of public expression were: (1) Ex- temporaneous Speech. (2) Debating. (3) Declamation. (4) Acting. The first form of expression found its f unction in the clubs, class work, and courtesy drive. The second comprised a series of seven debates given at Friday convocations. One of these, a debate on the Eighteenth Amendment, was given before the Wakefield Civic Club. The series included Capital Punishment, The St. Lawrence W aterway, Sovietism, Prohibition, Statehood for the Upper Peninsula. The third type comprised orations and recitations rendered by a team of thirty students. Of these, the work of June Miljevich with her dramatic reading “The Alien , and William Weston, with his oration “The Common People , deserve the highest praise. The last work consisted of four one-act plays presented in a contest on December loth, with the Senior Plav, Dulcv , on Mav loth. The Play Contest deserves special comment. It was a new and effective way of stimulating the best work in expression. Each cast worked two hours every day for three weeks and their enthusiasm knew no bounds. As Mr. Ben Craig, one of our out-of-town judges commented: The contest showed hard work and deep feeling. It ranks among the best work of this type I have ever seen. The orchestra, with Miss Knudson helped to make the contest a real treat. R. G. W. Page Sixty-six The Rooters Gli b ROOTERS’ CLUB Yell Leader—Olive LaBerdie Hip! Hip! Hurrah! That's the Rooters' Club signal! In September 1924, Mr. Weihe suggested that we form a Rooters' Club so that we would have a little pep for football season. The girls decided this would be great so we started the Rooters' Club. Everyone noticed the difference. Practically the most thrilling time this club experienced was our trip to Crvstal Falls. All the Rooters were determined to get there, but due to some misunderstanding, we were unable to get the school busses and at the last moment our Mayor, Alvin Rummel, proved a hero and gave us the city bus. A good time was had by all, and especially after our glorious victory, we were in the best of spirits. We arrived home about three-thirtv A. M. Everyone was tired but happy. After our club proved to be successful during football season, we decided to keep it going for basket-ball and we sure did strut our stuff. We gave two candy sales and both proved successful. We hope that next year the school will again form this club because we are sure thev will have a team worth rooting for. —O. L. Page Sixty-seren SOCIETY CCHOOL opened with a hang! It took about two weeks for classes to become organized. With all the different class and club meetings and our daily work we were kept quite busy. The first outing was held at Crown Point by the Literary Club, which had a picnic. They had roasted weenies, buns and everything that goes with a picnic. After eating, they sat by the fire on the lake shore, sang, and told stories. Senior Class day was held in October and proved to lie the best yet. At nine o clock they gave a program in the assembly, then journeyed to Bergland and Ewen to visit the schools. Coming back to Ilillcrest Inn, they danced till dark, ami th en started for home. Last year the initiation party was eliminated from the history of our school so now we have a party to welcome the Freshmen into High. This is called the Sophomore-Freshman party, but everyone was invited. The entertainment for the evening was dancing and card playing. They all went home saying they had never had a better time. Football season being over, the “Letter” men were again entertained by the Civic Club, to their annual “Turkey Dinner with all its trimmings. The boys always appreciate this favor and do their share to the dinner. This year the Economics Department formed a club. They meet every month. They have had many fine meetings and parties. One which should be mentioned is the Mother and Daughter Banquet” which they gave for their mothers. The cooking department prepared the banquet and the sewing department the program. The mothers were well satisfied with the work of their daughters. The annual Literary Club Christmas party was a huge success. This year they called it the “Kid Party”. Everyone came dressed as children. For refreshments we had pop corn balls, apples, candy, and cookies, which were in keeping with such an occasion. The Christmas program was prepared in a short time, but proved a good one. There were the customary readings and music with a few one act plays. After the program, each student was given a bag of candy as a Christmas present from the School Board. The Juniors gave a dance after the Ironwood game. It was attended by a large crowd, who reported a good time. The Sophomore Class gave a dance after the Ashland game, which was a success and enjoyed by all, especially bv the Ashland boys who came down with their team. The home orchestra furnished the music and proved their ability as musicians. The Freshmen celebrated the first day of “Spring” by having a party in the Community building with the faculty as guests. The evening was spent in games, stunts, and dancing after which lunch was served. —C. E. K. Page Sixty-eight Page Sixty-nine CALENDAR SEPTEMBER Sept. 2.

A dollar saved today—and placed where it will bear interest—will be worth two dollars eleven years hence. A habit formed today, whether for good or evil, is likely to grow and remain with you for years. However, it is said it is never too late to mend. Starting right omits the necessity of mending later. Thrift is a mighty fine habit to get into, and today, busily occupied with the affairs of life, a good habit is buying the things you need for personal comfort and wear where thrift and economy is practised. There is thrift and economy to be practised in your buying at the J. C. Penny Co. Store. Here you enjoy the numerous advantages that accrue to you from the buying our Company does for our 571 Department Stores. J. C. PENNY CO. Lincoln Knew. The words which he uttered over half a century ago are as true now as then, and should be an inspiration to all Americans. “Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich show that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Any seeker for leadership socially, politically or industrially, now or in the future must be guided by this truth.

The New Home of the Style Shop is Your Shop HE Style Shop’s new home was actually opened a month ago, but it’s recognition was immediate because women found that it was animated by an artistic and creative spirit rather than by the purely emulative instincts of trade. Instead of commercialism they found individuality and instead of sameness dissimilarity. And it is so in the new Style Shop modes for Spring. Each possesses the artistic individuality for which this shop has long been known.
