Long before the introduction of other courses designed to give vocational training, it was the only offering made for the education of high school students in the arts and sciences thought necessary for cultured and educated people. As its chief offerings the course includes two languages, social sciences, mathematics, four years of English, sciences, art. and music. During recent years these last two subjects have become increasingly important in the high school, their enrollment growing constantly. Whatever a student does, wherever he goes, he will use his training in the Academic Course in interpreting general facts, in dealing with life problems, and in communicating with other peoples. COMMERCIAL I he Commercial Course enrolls about one-sixth of the total number of High School pupils. Those electing the Commercial Course start their practical training as Sophomores in Junior Business Training. For Juniors and Seniors, the curriculum includes two years of Shorthand, two years of Typewriting, and one year of Bookkeeping These subjects are made as practical as the time permits, the object being to fit the pupils to go into some form of business work. For those who have an opportunity to go on in business education, this course is a splendid foundation. - TYPING - l---4 + • d d 4k d d d 4.U !L JJ- 71 4 Page Seventeen WHS HOME ECONOMICS Students enroll in the Home Economics department for the first time in the seventh grade. I'he Junior High work is divided into four phases: art, clothing, foods, and nursing. This course continues for half a year. It is an exciting time when food is first stirred up in the double boiler or the sewing machine is made to stitch ahead—not backwards. This introduction gives the pupil an insight into the work of the high school. The elective courses in the Senior High consist of such units as textiles, meal planning, serving, dietetics, garment design and construction, and the house and its care. A special service course was offered to the Senior girls for the first time this year which was made up of concentrated units of the same work covered during the Freshman and Sophomore years. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial Arts is a required subject in grades seven and eight, and is open to election throughout the four years of the Senior High school. Short unit courses are given in grades seven, eight and nine, and the work is largely exploratory in nature. The boys have an opportunity to test their interests and abilities in such subjects as woodwork, metal work, electricity and drawing. Advanced courses in these same subjects are offered in grades ten. eleven and twelve, and the work is of a more specialized nature. The advanced work prepares the boys for entrance to technical schools, and gives preliminary training for a more successful entrance into an industrial occupation. Approximately 225 boys are enrolled in the Industrial Arts classes. -woodwork - - DRAFTING- Page Eighteen VMS Class of 1930 Gladys Ahola ______________ Ga ga' Let no man deceive you with vain words.” Boosters-Rooters. 1 : Dramatics. 3; May Fete. 3: Pep Club. 4.

Page Twenty-three WHS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Alvin Hanson__________________________________President PHYLLIS PUCHTA___________________________Vice President JOE MlHEVE__________________________Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Wood________________________________________Adviser You may not know me, but I am Old Man Hill speaking. Yes. the same old Hill that all high school classes climb . . . and what I don't know about those classes! The 1930 lot has been a good bunch. Oh. a little mischief now and then, and some fell back down the hill, but they have stuck better than most to their jobs. Pretty timid they were, back in 1926. but they organized immediately and made a success of the annual frosh party. Miss Gertrude Olson helped them. As sophomores they were very active, showing their schoolmates that they really were wide awake. First they gave the frosh a party to help them get acquainted. Then they won the ticket selling contest at the football games. Winning contests is their weakness now—good students and loyal. Another year and they took on the responsibilities of juniors. Miss Olson and Miss Tanner directed the lively group. They were well represented in basketball and other school activities. The year ended with the Junior Prom for which they made elaborate preparations and were rewarded with remarkable success. In the last year they secured Mr. Wood to guide and direct them. They celebrated class day at Copper Falls. Their cooperation and pep were shown during the football season. They enjoyed the ice cream they received as the prize for winning the ticket-selling contest. The last achievement of the year was the producing of a senior play. During their four years in W. H. S. they have tried their best to fulfill all duties honorably and live up to the ideals of the school. I'm a wise old Hill and I know a good class when I see one and this class is IT! ! CLASS PROPHECY William N.! William!” “Huh------” Say the next time you dust my desk leave the gum where it is parked.” All right. Mr. Peters.” Call my private secretary. Oh, here she comes.” Mary handed Bob a card. He looked at it and exclaimed. For heaven’s sake, Mary, let Julia in!” “Julia?” “This is surely a surprise. Julia, how----” Oh. Bob, since you've won that million dollar lawsuit. I’ve come to ask you to help me secure a divorce from Pat.” “Julia. Pat’s wonderful—” “Wonderful!—I thought the same once. He won’t do a thing but read the papers, and he goes to all the football and basketball games with Coach Mike and leaves me at home. That's not all: when we go to the Inn for dinner he curses the waiters. Syma O. and Walfred. Saima H. will tell you more because she owns the Inn. Say. Julia, have you seen or heard of any of the old classmates?” Yes. I’ve seen a few. Sarah, who’s a model for William L. seems----” William Lepisto! A-------Heavens, how did it happen?” After Bill and 7'auno returned from their world tour they were so en- Paqe Twenty-four WHS chanted with Paris and the beautiful girls, that they started a Modiste Shoppe. Have you seen any of the gang. Bob? A few. Mary S. is my private secretary. Mary S. you’re private secretary? How strange—” Yes. and Kaiser’s my office boy. I’ll call them in and see if they can tell us about the old classmates.” Brrr—“Miss Stein.” “Yes, sir.” “Cut the comedv and sit down. You. too. Bill.” Mary, do vou know what happened to any of the old classmates?” Oh. yes. indeed. Catherine married the Duke of Verona. Anne is teaching tiger lilies not to bite, and Elwood has the largest Beauty Shoppe in Jack Snur. bis specialty being finger waving blondes.” Say. William, do vou know what any of the classmates are doing?” Ya. Reino and Ariel are cross country runners and say they’ll be here next month.” Say. this gives me an idea. Why not round up all the classmates and have a reunion? “I guess I’ll leave and get Pat’s dinner and I’ll postpone action on the case. I’d rather see the old classmates. Goodbye.” Goodbye. Julia—Miss Stein, secure all information possible concerning the classmates. Advertise in all papers: send radio messages, telegrams, and you know what else announcing the reunion of the class of 19JO. and don’t stop until you’ve heard from all of them. I’ll raise your pay.” Yes. sir. I’ll do that immediately.” After a period of three weeks news began to arrive. “I’ve beard from them all. Among those who can’t possiblv come are Lillian H. Her children have mum os and whooping cough, and Fred is digging in the Wakefield nit and is on bis way to China and can’t get back. The rest will be here next Friday night.” “Gee. that’s too bad about Fred and Lillian. Send them a card though.” The Great Event arrived. Almost all were escorted into the gorgeous home, under the able supervision of Marshall. After Bob greeted everyone, be exclaimed. Say. Howdy, what’s the matter? You’ve been here exactly three Quarters of an hour and you haven’t said a word!” I’m sorrv. I’ve gotten into the habit of being silent. I don’t know how it banoened but Gertrude led me to the altar, and since then she's been doing all the arguing. and I’ve learned that discretion is the better part of valor. ”1 isten here, von lirt'e worm, if you don’t shut up about our family affairs. I'll souse vnnr head in that nunch bowl.” and so saving Gertrude led Howard to one of the less populated places and. giving him a few words of advice. returned saying. ’’He should rave on about me I have to nut up with him and bis friends. He's everlastingly bringing Alvin home to talk about the new protect of making chickens lav modernistic designed eggs or else he brings Joe over who carves names on tomb stones. When Tom. who is an undertaker, comes over, the pang plays cards and discusses whether people should be buried at mid-dav or midnight. Thev nearly drive----------” G'advs comes to tbe rescue. “For heaven sakes. Gerty. give somebody else a cbance to soeal. Wanta hear from me. folks? Lillian B. and I. with our business manager. Jimmy, are going on a world-wide dancing tour. Say. Lorraine, what are vou doing?” Oh. me? I went to college for two years and married my English Prof, and Betty, who is my neighbor, is keening boarders. She is a grass widow, but lately she and Frank, who is a dentist, have been keeping company.” The room was in a turmoil. Pearl who had choked on a glass of punch was being vigorously thumped by Edith. Elsie and Mary B.. who were, we were informed, nurses. An argument arose between them. Lillian L. and Bea- -l-WT « - - - - T- T r . allfP k. 1 Page Twenty-five WHS trice, who were chiropractors, about the methods of handling a choking person. However, the argument was drawn to a close when Margaret and Clarence entered. All gathered shouting and questioning around him. Clarence cleared his throat. “Children, we are very tired from our exhausting journey from Africa where I am employed as a forest ranger, and my wife. Margaret, is teaching the natives how to Hula. We will retire until later.” Marshall led them out. “Phew,” exclaimed Fuzzy, the taxi driver, “of all the airs Ecky puts on. I remember once he was darn glad if I'd hold the bus for him in the morning. He's as bad as our President Stanley.” “Ah—you do me a great injustice,” said Stanley. E%'en though the heavy duties of the U. S. are on my shoulders. I am still the same old Stumshu. Although I am a bachelor, my official hostess is Ella.” “Great stuff, old top.” piped Yvonne, the world’s greatest flapper. “I’d never guess it.” “Thanks. Say. Phyllis is the first Ambassadoress to China where she is taking data on the Boxer Rebellion for her sister. I’ll give somebody else a chance to talk. What have vou to say. Mildred?” “I’m a doctor’s wife. That’s all I have to say for myself, but I’ll speak for Marie and Alma. Marie won the world’s typing contest and Alma is a financier.” “You’re rather cool tonight. Mary.” said Mildred. “What’s the urge?” “Oh. don’t mind me. It’s merely force of habit. Verna and I are running a Chinese tea shoppe in Siberia.

We, the class of ’30, do hereby set forth our last wish: that the sections of this document be carried out faithfully and accordingly. After our four happy and memorable years at dear old W. H. S.. we have tried to do justice by dividing our privileges and good breeding justly and without animosity. Section I—To the Seniors of 1931. we leave our highly honored title, which is to be kept well polished at all times. Secondly—To Ye noble Juniors we bequeath our contest winning ability. Secondly—To Ye Sophs, we leave our ability as hard workers. Remember. work first and play afterwards. Section III—To Ye growing Freshies, we leave a portion of our dignity and unlimited knowledge.

Naturally. we were given the name of green freshmen.” but this greenness was completely dimmed by our pep. Right at the start of our high school career, we participated in the various activities, and showed our good sportsmanship by attending all the parties and games. We entered our sophomore year with an enrollment of sixty-five. At the beginning of the year, we gave the annual soph-frosh party, which was attended by all the high school and was a success in every way. The first social hour of the year was given by the sophs, A large crowd attended and reported a good time. None of us will ever forget those snappy basketball games which were played between the different classes.—yes. and the mighty sophomores won the championship. Though they were finally defeated by the faculty, the sophs never lost their spirit. Neither did they lack the backing of the class. We witnessed an interesting ticket-selling contest in our sophomore year. The conquered were to give the victors a party. We gave the party, but the many hosts received few guests- Our junior year was a busy one. filled with hard work and good times. Each student of the class took part in many of the activities, and we were always well represented at the games, parties, and all socials. We have been a hard-working group, many of our class members being on the honor roll, many being noted athletes, and others being members of the band and orchestra. The Junior Prom, which was given at the close of the year, was a top-off for a successful year. We feel that our last three years have been a success, and we will strive to make our senior year an even greater one. Let's go, Juniors!

We organized immediately, electing Lillian Flarju as president and Mr. Ricketts as class adviser. We also elected class cheer leaders. The sophomores entertained us at the annual Freshman-Sophomore party in November. We returned the party after Christmas. It proved to be a remarkable success in every way. Our attempts at money making were limited to selling candy at the show given by the Hi-Y club. However, the undertaking proved to be a success and those who either took part in the making of the candy or donated materials for the candy went on a picnic. All present enjoyed themselves, including Floyd Oberg who. imitating a monkey, fell out of a tree. Page Thirty three WHS Hack Row—J. Bugni. A. Vjlcsano. O. Moran J. Cavcnder. A. Cox. N. I.aakso. W.

In our second year of high school, we began with a bang by giving the annual Freshman-Sophomore party. Except for the tragedy of running out of lunch, the party was enjoyed by ail who attended. I hroughout our two years in high school, the sophomores have shown splendid school spirit as well as pep. Our class has been well represented at all athletic games and other high school activities. We are looking forward to our coming years with great anxiety. We hope that we may keep up the pep and ambition that we have shown in our previous years. We also hope that our class will continue to be as large in number as it has been in the past two years so that we may break the record of having the largest graduating class.

The sophomores welcomed us into high school with a party which was a great success, and we paid them back later with another successful party. We entered high school with the distinction ol being the largest freshman class in the history of the school. Of the hundred and forty who graduated from the eighth grade, one hundred and sixteen entered high school. We had several meetings during the winter months. The first meeting was held about a month after school started and we elected our officers and adviser. As this was our first year we did not do very much but you will hear from us next fall when we enter as sophomores. -t-W b. - Page Thirty-five WHS Rmk Rous—A. Windberg. E. Jacobson. A. Koivu. S.

Comet, and Thomaston besides the children living in Wakefield. The school busses collect them each morning and take them home each evening after school. There are eight class rooms and one study hall. These are filled quite well with the two grades so that it seems almost impossible that there were so many more pupils in these rooms before the new high school was built. A few of our classes, such as home economics, industrial arts, and art are held in the new building and physical education is held in the community building. We also have a library which is taken charge of by Miss Carlson. She is saving the library fines for new books. Many clubs have been organized in the Junior High. Miss Burnham has charge of the Tumbling Team which meets on Tuesday. On February 14. this club put on a very attractive stunt at the physical education exhibit. We also have the Glee Club under the direction of Miss Cobb. They sing at various high school activities. The majority of our clubs took an active part in the Joy Nite which was sponsored by the Echo staff on January 17. Each club put forth all efforts to make this the success that it turned out to be. We look forward to one day in particular out of every five weeks. That is when we receive our report cards. Fourteen points are possible. The six pupils having the greatest number of points are given special privilege. This enables them to do as they wish during study periods. All Junior High students are working to place themselves on the Class of 1915 honor roll and later on the special privilege list. Hack Row—T. Pietrzak. A. Tibbits. T. Maki. U. Keskinen. N. Batinich.

Training Coach Seger took the boys in hand and gave them a good workout ( duck waddle ) on the opening day. What a sad looking bunch they turned out to be on the next day! Half of them were muscle-bound while the rest could only use the goose-step as their means of transportation. Finally after two weeks of training the Cards opened the season by a one-point margin. This game put the punch into the team, which stood prominent throughout the season. The Duffinites showed no fancy football although they managed t o thrill the large crowd through several plays which resulted in good gains and gave hints of what might have been expected from the team as the season advanced. Mehu and Mike, who were ably supported by the balance of the team, established permanent reputations through their effective passing and consistent end runs. Saturday. September 21. held a great treat for Wakefield, for the Cards defeated Ironwood at Iron-wood by a score of 14 to 13. The game opened with a little give and take football until Ironwood. loosening up. literally steam rolled” down the field. Finally the line settled down to business and the back-field snapped into action. Wakefield whisked the ball down to the one-yard line where Tosco scored. After making good the point. O'Brien dragged over another touchdown. The point counted, leaving Wakefield victorious. We staged a big bonfire of thanksgiving and what a hot time in the old town that night! Mcwms GlVJAvRD We Forty-one WHS Urban ski Tackle. Yatchak Halfback Taessel Center The next Saturday. Cardinal Field Dedication Day. with three range bands playing and flags flying. Wakefield overcame the Superior Cathedral team by administering their first defeat in nineteen games over a period of two seasons. The team went in to fight, and fight they did from the very first whistle! Nezzy” and Buck'' both played star games. O’Brien made the first and only touchdown by running through a broken field. The point was good, leaving the score 7 to 0. O'Brien staged some superior playing and Yatchak was the invincible. A few times he netted 8-9 yards with the entire Superior team on his neck.” The following Saturday, Wake-field and Iron River, both undefeated for the season, fought a draw on the gridiron at Iron River. The city must have owned part of the field, for there was a road running over one corner and a swamp down on the other end. Both teams made some violent threats at scoring and many complicated plays were used, but to no avail. The boys were feeling pretty glum between halves and could have cried at the end for the score stood a scoreless tie. the only mar on Wakefield's ’29 record. The Copper Country boys of Houghton fell easy meat to the Cards the next week on Cardinal Field for they were defeated by an overwhelming score of 47 to 0. Yatchak. Gor-ski and O'Brien each succeeded in contributing to the score column through concentrated line plunges and end runs. Buck used his head when he made a freak score for Wakefield. In kicking off. the Red and Whites sent the pigskin down past the goal line. As the ball rolled Page Forty-tivo WHS it touched one of the Houghton men. Buck came down the field and fell on it making a touchdown. The Cards took their second runaway game on the next Saturday by defeating L'Anse with a score of 39 to 0. O’Brien was outstanding in his line and end runs which netted him four touchdowns. Gorski and Yatchak also did some commendable work. The game closed with Wakefield still threatening to score and a team of nearly all second string men on the field. The next game with Bessemer here. Wakefield resorted to line plays, and Bessemer to open field running. T he Cards succeeded in doubling the county seaters’ score with the final at 26 to 13. The score was tied throughout the first half and when Baritone of Bessemer made a 70-yard run. the team was utterly down and out. They suddenly rallied in the second half and came back to double the Bessemer score. Both ends, Nezzy and “Dick. did exceptional work in the game while the line fought with dogged determination. The Cards captured their first range championship and completed their fine record at Hurley the next week, defeating them by a close score of 23 to 20. Hurley Midgets had things entirely their way in the first half, for the score then was 20 to 6. We don't know what happened, but in the second half they fought for Coach Duffin. the school, and fought in capital letter style. Opening a passing attack, the Cards succeeded in tying at 20 all.

I’ll have to call time if we don’t get started pretty soon—seven o’clock, oh! We all felt as we did before a game, nervous and irritable. Our appetites were keenly whetted when the Cardinals made for the tables. Quite a novel seating arrangement had been made—the tables were placed in the form of a block W. Oh! Yes, each player found himself a seat by hunting a miniature pigskin warrior with his number on. After the preliminary signals, the team charged into action- -pardon me, I mean the turkey—with the same spirit that brought them the Range Championship. Eckert sprained his tonsils, and had to call time out: but a look from one of the waitresses revived him. Mike soon made a dandy flying tackle on the Pmje Forty-five DEDICATION DAY drumstick and knocked the poor thing out of commission—permanently. The game ended with the helpless opponents completely annihilated. The captains and coaches of Bessemer. Iron wood, and Hurley, were introduced: speeches by Mr. Berner and the Range members followed. Mr. Burns, the toastmaster, in behalf of the Booster Club, presented the school with a silver trophy—pretty neat. Mr. Brown, the speaker of the evening, gave a forceful, spicy address, and the fourteen regular men received their letters. After a short talk by Mr. Duffin. we managed to push our way through the smoke—thick as soap—and sallied homeward. Others may forget the 1929 football team, but those who played on it will never forget the friendships on the gridiron; they will not forget the spirit, cooperation, nor the meaning of Loyalty to the school, to the team, and to the coach.

BASKETBALL The Castile Gang” under the sub-tutorship of Ginger” Gilbert turned out in full when Coach Wood called hts first basketball practice—not to say anything of the many other turnouts. After a few weeks of hard practice the squad was singled down to the cream of the crop to engage in some combination practice before the first game with Bergland on February 6th. The Cardinals started their schedule with a bang when they trimmed the Bergland Quint by almost doubling the down-road score of 27 to 17. Although Bergland gained a point lead in the first half, the Cards led the race during the rest of the game. Jakkola. supported by Lepinski, made most of the points. Coach Wood's big five literally swamped the Ontonagon combination on February 13th in the Community gymnasium by a score of 37 to 8. The Ontonagon Quint had much trouble in getting their hands on the ball at all times during the game, being unable to break the Cardinals' defense. Yatchak was a thorn in the side of the opposing aggregation through the game. The next Friday the Cards journeyed to Stambaugh where they were downed at 27 to 14. It was the pitting together of two giants, the battle of two super-teams. What one didn’t know about the game the other did! To finish up the trip, the Cards crossed the river and defeated Iron River by an overwhelming score of 27 to 16. The Iron River squad was unable to stop the Cardinal onslaught.

Wakefield’s defense was too much for Bergland. The next Saturday the Cardinals handily defeated the Hurley aggregation by a score of 24 to 9. Though the Wisconsin cagers worked hard, they were unable to stop the Cardinal breaks or to penetrate the Cardinal defense. T hough Wakefield lost the game to Stambaugh in the Community gym on the next Saturday by a close score, the Hilltoppers afterwards conceded that Wakefield was probably the strongest team on any Upper Peninsula floor. Wakefield held a fast lead at the half of 1 3 to 8. but the Stambaugh quint came back in the end with an additional fifteen points to make the score 23 to 17. Wakefield proved too much for Ironwood the next week when they administered a sound defeat to the seemingly invincible Red Devils with a score of 29 to 1 3, The Cardinals caged an easy game the next Wednesday by defeating the county seat basketeers with a tripled score of 21 to 7 at the Community gym. Though the coach sent in his next year's lineup, they succeeded in outwitting Bessemer from the start. Friday of the same week the Cards travelled to Ontonagon where, through a misunderstanding in the time of the game, they played with big steaks on their stomachs.” Nevertheless. Wakefield came through with flying colors by defeating the big lake town by a score of 22 to 17. The fellows said it was a very rough game and they blamed it on the steaks. The Red Devils' cage crew again fell before the onslaught of the Cards in the Community gym the next week to the tune of 24 to 9. In the last quarter when Ironwood's defense faltered. Wakefield tore away to make a heavy gain. Page Forty-eight WHS Iron River really upset the dope bucket when it defeated the Cards at Wakefield the next Saturday by a close score of 1 5 to IV Full satisfaction was never more clearly demonstrated than when the Cards travelled to Bessemer and defeated the county-seaters for the second time in a rough game of basketball on their own floor by a score of 18 to 13. Another big surprise followed the next week when Hurley overturned the Caids with a doubled score of 21 to 10. It was literally a hard luck contest of rough and tumble with both teams fighting hard throughout the evening. However, the Cards had the range championship before the game. Through another stroke of bad luck Wakefield drew Stambaugh for the first round of the tournament and was beaten by a score of 25 to 19. Wakefield held a lead of two points. With seven seconds left. Stambaugh tied. and. in two overtime periods, came through victorious, thereby eliminating Wakefield. Though Wakefield dropped, both coach and team played hard and worthy games throughout the season, and demonstrated a brand of basketball seldom seen on Upper Peninsula courts.

They were right, too. when they said this because they won every game they played. They played against teams of their own rank and even out of their rank. They surely had team work and they were fast. The team showed some clever ball handling and passing. They used the shifting ball defense, which saved many games. They played real games of basketball every minute of the time, although they did not do very much scoring, only enough to keep the lead. Ferrando, Valesano. and Olejniczak did most of the scoring for the B” team. When these three get going, it is hard to stop them. The three are all accurate shots and clever ball handlers. The two guards. Miheve and Collins, are surely some” guards. These two boys arc good help to the other three men, when it comes to getting the ball down the floor and making a basket. The team also had some good, lively, capable ‘ subs.” who were ready to get into the game when called upon. Although much credit is due to the team, a great deal is also due the coach. Mr. Trewyn. He is a real coach and knows how to make a winning basketball team.

JUNIOR HIGH TEAM The Junior High squad this year was composed entirely of new material and was further handicapped by a late start, not being able to practice until after the Christmas vacation. Coach Carter kept ten men on the squad and there were no individual stars. Four of the boys were eighth graders and will form the nucleus of next year's squad. This year’s team was a clean fighting group and in only one game was it completely outscored. The schedule consisted of only six games this year and out of these they managed to break even, winning three and losing three. In the six games they outscored their opponents 92 to 65.

The curtain closes on a year of hard work with thirty interested members who have all helped make this a successful year. A point system was introduced into the club. Any member who showed himself capable of doing a bit of hard work was given a certain number of points. When he had earned one-hundred points, he received a beautiful gold pin as a reward. Adam and Eva. ' a comedy of family life, was the club’s greatest production this year. With the help of every member, the play, given on February 28. was a complete success.

THE MIMES Officers Myrian Karling President Geraldine DeSonia _____________________ Vice-President Eleanor Carr Secret ary-Treasurer Mimes, the Junior High Dramatic Club has been doing things this year! Each week plays and stories of all types are dramatized by groups of players within the club. Many of the plays as well as characters within the plays arc created by club members, and this original work shows bright prospects for the future. “Joy Nite we proved to the public that we could play not only the parts of people in real life, but that we could be animals as well. Unique feats were performed by the seals, bears, tigers, monkeys, ponies, and last, but not least, the elephant. Why do we have a club like this? First of all. because it is real fun—and this in itself is sufficient reason—but there are more. We learn ease, poise, and self-confidence when talking before a group or even one other individual: we learn to understand and appreciate different viewpoints because for a time we forget that we are ourselves and feel and think as if we were others: our imaginations are stimulated—and so we might name advantages almost indefinitely. Our work is progressing rapidly and we hope some time to form a part of a progressive High School Dramatic Club. Page Fifty-five Hack Row—T. Zazcski. S. Baltic. F. Pruc. R. Peters. E. Collins. G.

From an indifferent bunch of players it has developed into a very enthusiastic organization in the past two years. Much of the credit for this success must be given to Mr. Grender. 1'he instrumentation is good. We have eleven clarinets, an alto and an Eb clarinet, two saxophones, a flute, piccolo, oboe, bassoon, eight £crs,i . tour al-toes. two baritones, two basses, three trombones, two snare drums, a cymbal, and bass drum. Our drum major is still the best on the range. Who could help but keep in step and in time with Steve leading? The band has given pleasing concerts at Bergland and Marensico. and together with the Ironwood and Bessemer high schools, has formed for the first time a county band. It has also willingly furnished music at football and basketball games, pep sessions, and assembly programs, and has been the most important factor in enkindling enthusiasm at all meetings throughout the year.

It has not been very active yet. but we are expecting it to be very soon. This orchestra has a full instrumentation, all the four sections, string, woodwind, brass, and percussion having the required instruments. In the string section there are eleven violins, two violas, two cellos, and a double bass. There are about seven violin players in the Junior High grades who are progressing rapidly. When these players are ready to join the orchestra, this section will be complete. We have one new viola player, and one new cello player in this section. The viola and cello players have been in the orchestra for a year or so. A flute, oboe, two clarinets, alto clarinet, and a bassoon form the woodwind section. 7 he alto clarinet is a new instrument in the woodwind section this year. The brass section consists of two cornets, a horn, trombone, and a bass. The last section is the percussion, in which we have a snare drum and a side drum. With all these instruments, the orchestra has as complete an instrumentation and as well balanced an orchestra as any school could have. This year three high school orchestras, Ironwood. Bessemer, and Wakefield, are combining to form a County Orchestra. One practice will be held at Iron-wood. one at Bessemer, and three at Wakefield, so that in the spring a concert will be given in which the county orchestra will play about nine numbers. The concert will be given at Wakefield. Once a week, everyone in the W. H. S. orchestra receives lessons on his instrument from Mr. Grender. Twice a week the whole orchestra meets, and has practices under the able direction of Mr. Grender. Because of the leadership of Mr. Grender. weekly lessons, increasing interest in the work, and better instrumentation. the orchestra looks forward to a promising future.

I've read that things inanimate have moved. And. as with living souls, have been informed By magic numbers, and persuasive sound. The Girls’ Glee Club has met seventh period on Monday. I uesday, and Thursday this year. When the organization first began, it boasted seventy-five members, but. after the various voice-testing periods, it dwindled to twenty-five members. The club’s first public appearance was made during the Christmas pageant, which the girls helped to make a success. The club also sang at assembly. Now the members of the club are looking forward with great interest to the all-school vaudeville, a production in which, especially this year, the glee club takes an important part. Contrary to the custom in other years, there will be no contest at Marquette. much to the disappointment of the club members: however, there is the range concert to serve as a consolation. All schools on the range will participate in this event, which will take place in May. Although the place has not heen definitely decided, .it is probable that the concert will be held at Bessemer. With the additional time given to rehearsal and the continued leadership of Miss Cobb, the club will undoubtedly make even a greater place for itself among worth-while activities.

JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Agnes Kurzewski_____________________________President Ruth NlEMI__________________________________Secretary Evelyn Ridanpaa_____________________________Treasurer The Junior High Girls' Glee Club was organized last September by Miss Cobb, under whose direction the dub has prospered for the year. From the one hundred candidates whose voices were tested, forty members were selected, some of whom were new. This group met every Tuesday and Thursday during the activity period. The Glee Club has done its bit in programs both in and outside of school, having taken part in assemblies, meetings of the Wakefield Women's Club, the Christmas pageant, the Vodvil. and the Glee Club Contest at Ramsey on May 8. Practice on the contest numbers brought a great deal of hard work. An operetta entitled “Lady Frances” was also presented in a most pleasing manner. The Glee Club hasn't slaved all of the time, however. Plays have been dramatized for fun. and candy sales have been held by which the members were able to earn their attractive pins. In fact, the whole year has been so successful that the club is hoping for another one just like it. 4 4 4 4.. Hlftk. Rage Fifty-nine WHS Back Row'—B. Olejniczak. T. Neznanski. S. Chemoff.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club deserves a great deal of credit for their hard work and interest in this club. Although they have not made a great many appearances in the community and school, they are now trying to strive for honors at Bessemer this spring, at the Gogebic Range Concert. More interest has been displayed in the boys’ glee club this year than previously. The club has met on Tuesday and 'Thursday for a forty-five minute period every week. The membership has been cut down considerably so that now the club has about sixteen members which, divided into four sections, make a nicely balanced chorus. Much of the new interest in the club is due to Mr. Grender who has had training in choral singing himself. His enthusiasm has inspired renewed en thusiasm in the boys. We hope that this club will be the outstanding club of the school if thc future. Page Sixty Hack Row—E. Hackley. R. Buck. A. Hanson. G. Trcssel. C. Eckart. E. Yrkkola. T. Nc .nanski. Second Rou,'—H.

Secretary-Treasurer The Hi-Y Club has the following for its purpose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian character. Its platform is as follows: Clean speech, clean athletics, clean sportsmanship. and clean living. When the Wakefield Hi-Y Club started this year, it had a very small membership: in fact, there were only the above officers and Edward Collins who were members of last year's club. From this small membership the club grew rapidly through two initiations until it now has thirteen members. Raymond Cameron. Earl Jacobson. Richard Buck, Gordon Tressel. Robert Nelson. Edwin Yrkkola, Ted Neznanski. Clarence Eckart. and Ferdinando Remondino were the new members put in this year. The State allows the club to take in two Freshmen each year. This is a great honor and the Freshmen of next year should look forward to a chance to be in this club. The most important thing the Hi-Y Club also sponsored was a social hour. These after-school social hours were a great success in the way of entertainment. Because organizations of the city thought the Hi-Y Club boys deserving, they sent seven of them to the Older Boys' Conference in Ironwood. Those attending were Elwood Hackley. Howard Anderson. Russel Jacobson. Edward Collins. Gordon Tressel, Edwin Yrkkola. and Raymond Cameron. Mr. Graper went along as the delegation leader. This year's Hi-Y Club has been a great success and boys of the coming years should look forward to becoming members. Page Sixty-one WHS BOY SCOUTS With the opening of school in September the Black Eagles started their fourth year of Scouting activity. Believing in the Out” in Scouting, the troop took several short hikes and two overnight hikes during September and October. More overnight camping is planned for the spring. I he Christmas Toy Hospital was a novel project which the boys worked on during the week before Christmas. The Scouts collected old toys and. with permission from the school, used the industrial arts department to repair and repaint the toys. These toys were later distributed to the poorer children of Wakefield. Following the Christmas vacation, the boys redecorated their dub-rooms and are very proud of the result. A get-together was held on March 10 for the boys who were interested in the joining of the troop. The big event of the year Parent-Scout-Banquet—was held on March 31. It proved a huge success and gave the parents a chance to see what the boys were doing. To help along finances—hot dog sales, candy, and eskimo pies sales, and clothes checking brought good results. The boys are now saving money in their Club Bank for Camping and Uniforms, and plan on making Summer Camp as enjoyable as the whole year has been. Page Sixty t“o WHS Hack Row—Mugs. Happy, Kump.

For a purpose—charity, eitquette. vocation—three distinct departments, yet a sense of unity. The social service department, with Miss Eklund as adviser, has done some very notable work. Baskets were sent to the poor and needy at Christmas and Thanksgiving, notes of kindness and flowers to the sick, and an entertaining program presented at the Grand View Hospital. During the meetings gifts were made and distributed along with the baskets at Christmas. The business department, under the able direction of Miss Ruth, has discussed business methods, applications for positions, business clothes, and manners, in a social and not strenuous fashion. Besides discussing vocations they have had advertising contests, spell-downs, and programs pertaining to proper business etiquette. This department has done the advertising for the league. Miss Olson’s department, the social group, has had some very enjoyable meetings. The purpose of this group is to discuss etiquette, give parties and teas, promote general good manners in the High School, and to provide entertainment for the girls. The meetings on Tuesdays have been spent in giving teas for the other departments, having programs and contests, and discussing etiquette. On the last Monday of each month all three departments and all the girls in High School meet at the community building. Here they are entertained by one of the departments. At the first general meeting of the league the following officers were elected: President Mary Stein Vice-President .

CAMERA CLUB Mary Brown_______________________________________ President Mildred Plichta. _______________ Vice President Alvin Kumpula_________________________Secretary - Treasurer The Camera Club is a new organization in the High School, but it has proven to be one of the most active. It is a very novel club and one that the school shouldn't be without. The most important aims of the club are to teach the fundamentals of photography, to create a worth-while hobby, and to give a pictorial record of school life. It seems to have had quite an effect on the members because several have undertaken to develop films and prints in their spare time. During the year, the members have been taught how to take pictures, to develop films and prints, to tint them, to make enlargements and to give a picture a sepiatone. A few of the members assisted in making lantern slides for the Camera stunt on Joy Nite. Through this work a great interest has been created in photography. Mr. Rerucha, one of the sponsors, is the photographer for the annual. I he club has earned its picture by furnishing the Echo with snaps of school life. All the club members feel that while they have been enjoying themselves, they have learned a great deal and have done really worthwhile things. Page Sixty-five WHS ii . Anderson. P. Plicht.i. E.

Well—Wednesday is the day for debate practice and—winds will blow. Howard Anderson and Phyllis Plichta. the two debaters from last year, Marion Sissala, Emma Karling, Alvin Hanson, and Henry Myers constituted the debate team, under the able guidance of Miss Adams. Although the team did not join the State Debate League, meets with outside teams were scheduled. The question for debate was: Resolved that a judge or a board of judges be substituted for the jury in all cases in the State and municipal courts of Michigan.” With such a vital and interesting question, willing material. Miss Adams' skill at coaching, and clear, effective argumentation as a goal, the Debate Club became an important and valuable school activity. Howard Anderson. Henry Myers, and Phyllis Plichta cooperated on the affirmative team, with Alvin Hanson. Emma Karling. and Marion Sissala on the negative team. Unfortunately Emma Karling had to leave school because of illness and her leaving made a vacancy on the team that was hard to fill. You know the results of the contest, some being won and others lost, but the experience derived from the activity outweighed the work and losses. When you come back to school next year, give debating a serious thought: it's worth it: for what activity will train you to think more clearly and speak more effectively, than debating? -1 Hf | J f Page Sixty-six fc fcfc- lid WHS M.

PEP CLUB Officers Julia DeSonia__________________________________President Johanna Savitski Secretary-Treasurer Mr. TREWYN_____________________________________ Adviser Upon answering a call for pep last fall, there was organized a club which adopted the name of the Peppy Peppers.' The meetings were held every Tuesday. Most of the time was spent in helping clubs advertise for their activities. This year the club introduced something new into the school—season basketball tickets, which made a big hit with the students. The biggest event of the year was the boosting of the Bessemer-Wakefield football game. The Pep Club distinguished themselves at the Pep session by wearing a costume. Some of the members wore red butterfly skirts and white blouses. Others wore red blouses and white trousers. This carried out the color scheme of the school in a very attractive manner. The day of the game, the club sponsored a parade. A car carrying members of the club led the procession. The purpose of this parade was to arouse the interest of the people and to get a crowd out to the game. It certainly did! It helped the team beat Bessemer. For the Wakefield-Ironwood game at Ironwood. the club chartered a bus for the students wishing to see the game. The Peppy Peppers put the pep into the pep sessions. The club not only boasted of the pep but appreciated the school spirit shown by the student body.
