BEMER, Superintendent Mr. Berner graduated from Albion College, attended the University of Michigan and obtained his M. A. degree from Columbia University. Before coming to Wakefield, Mr. Berner was Superintendent of the Lake Linden schools for two years. Now the Wakefield High School students are proud to have him as their leader. Through his understanding of high school students, he has aroused in them the deepest of ambitions, and an increasing desire to experience better things. Because of this, he is admired by all who know him. II. L. YLVISAKER, Principal Mr. Y1 visaker attended the State Normal at Mavville, North Dakota, and completed his college training at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. Later he attended the University of North Dakota and was granted his M. A. degree from the University of Chicago. .Mr. Ylvisaker, as principal of our school for the last four vears, has led us along the paths of high attainment. We are grateful to him for his guidance toward our goal of achievement. William R Wood, V li. Unfitish XII Contemporary Literature Elizabeth G Adams, li. S English X. XI Creative Writing ENGLISH AND SPEECH This year several changes have been made in the high school English course. Besides the combined courses in miscellaneous literature and composition required from the seventh through the twelfth years, two new senior high courses have been offered: Creative Writing and Contemporary Literature. These courses are open only to junior and senior students who have maintained an average in their high school English work of A and B and who have taken the required half year of American literature in the junior year and of English literature in the senior year. About forty students were enrolled in these two courses during the second semester. The students in the Creative Writing class have studied and written familiar essays, short stories, poetry, and other types of literature. Each student, also, entered a short story, an essay, or a poem in a national high school creative writing contest, the results of which are not yet known. The Contemporary Literature class has studied some of the best literature of the present day—drama, short story, essay, biography, and poetry. I hey have become familiar with modern authors whose works are most worth while and have thus acquired standards by which to guide their selection of leisure time reading. The Public Speaking Department this year has offered three courses: a beginning course in public speakiiig lor senior high students, and two new courses for junior high people: Creative Dramatics and Balladry.

V li English VII The aim of the social science department is to acquaint the students with the development of man and institutions, to teach the organization of governments, and the duty of students toward this government. General history and geography are required in the seventh grade and American history in the eighth grade. Community Civics and World History are elective subjects in the ninth and tenth grades. Community Civics teaches the student how a good citizen should live, how man developed economically, how man is governed, and what is the duty of man toward his government. General history includes a study of the social, political, and cultural development of man from prehistoric man to civilized man of today. Juniors are required to spend a year studying the development of the United States, and to acquire an understanding of how our institutions, our ideals, and our traditions have l een built up. In the senior year. United States is studied more intensively from the economic and political viewpoints. In economics, the student learns how the factors of production function how his country developed industrially, and how economic laws have l een applied to this development. In Civics, he learns the organization of National, State and Local government in order that he may comprehend his duty as a citizen and his responsibility toward his government.

French, English X FOREIGN LANGUAGE One of (he chief purposes in education is to awaken in the vouth an understanding ami appreciation of an individual or a people whose background and view point differ from his own. The development of this tolerance through the study of the language, the history, and the customs of an alien race is one of the most important aims of the foreign language department. To further this end, an ancient and a modern language are taught. At the present time, two vears of French and four of Latin are offered for the student's choice. SCIENCE In biology, living plants and animals are studied. The student is made to realize that this is an interesting world in which we live. There are innumerable things still to Ik discovered about living things. I he scientific method is a good one to live by. Chemistry and physics are decidedly living, growing subjects. Research brings new facts to light, new helpful theories into lK ing. Life is becoming more and more complex. We depend more upon manufactured products today than ever before. There are very few articles in use today which are not directly influenced by scientific research. Emily Parker. B. S Foods HOME ECONOMICS Fanny E. Rentola, B. S Sewing The Home Economics department offers to the girls a course in Home Living. It is required of girls in Junior High School, and half a year is devoted to it. Election of Home Economics in the High School is optional. The course at present includes two years of work—consisting of units in textiles, garment construction, costume design, meal planning, dietetics, serving, cooking, marketing, home management and house furnishings, as well as laundering. A special one year course is offered to Senior girls. This course consists of intensive units of work in Home Making. COMMERCIAL The Commercial Course of the Senior High School has an enrollment consisting of about one fourth of the students in the school. The course includes work for students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. As preparation for advanced Commercial work, the pupils in tenth grade are given Junior Business Training and Commercial Arithmetic. From these two courses they advance to Bookkeeping, Typing I, and Shorthand I in their Junior year and in the Senior year to advanced Typing and Shorthand. This course provides an excellent basis for later Business 1 raining. Estei i e Ki th Shorthand, Typing Fred Trewyn. B. E. Bookkeeping. Jr. Business Typing Nadia Thorpe, B. S. Art ART The purpose of art work in the high school is to provide another avenue of expression for the student, to stimulate his imagination, to sponsor a feeling of pride in carefully done work, and to promote satisfaction in creative expression; thus making him more appreciative of the artistic expression of others. Art is always an elective subject. Seventh and eighth grade students take it for a period of ten weeks, while the senior high work lasts a semester. There is also an advanced class which allows the best students in the beginning classes to continue if they wish to. MUSIC The music in the Wakefield High School has a very important part in the curriculum. Of the larger groups, possibly the band is the most outstanding and spectacular. The orchestra has been making great strides this year, and will soon take a place with the band. In the choral work, the Boys’ Glee Club and Girls' Glee Club are combined to form a mixed chorus. Of the smaller groups, which are less spectacular, but just as important, the string quartet, reed ensemble, and brass ensemble have done very commendable work.

Instrumental Gertrude Jacobs, A B Girls' Physical lulucation GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The work of the Girls' Physical Education department is divided into three terms. The fall term consists of tennis, field hockey, and an interclass tournament in these sports. The winter unit begins after Thanksgiving with five weeks of swimming, and a ten week program of basket ball. The winter term also includes folk (lancing, corrective work, ice skating, and the Physical Education demonstration. The spring program, which begins after Easter vacation, includes baseball, tennis, track, and archery. The extra-curricular activity of the department includes an annual Swimming Pageant and a May Fete. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION It is the aim of the boys' department of Physical Education to teach those activities that will carry over into later life and at the same time to develop strong bodies and alert minds. In order to accomplish this, the following program is pursued: During the fall, five weeks are given up to play ground ball, three to a game project, and three to corrective work. The winter term includes five weeks of tumbling, ten of swimming, and four of demonstration preparation. In the spring three weeks are taken for boxing and seven lor track. F W Duffin. A B Geometry. Trigonometry Advanced Algebra MATHEMATICS The Wakefield High School has an extensive and complete mathematics department. Beginning with the seventh grade, five and one-half years of work are offered. In the Junior High course, which is required, the pupils learn the fundamentals of percentage and mensuration. Many practical points are taught which should be of great value in later active life, such as the writing of checks, money orders, etc. In the Senior High department, algebra and geometry are required of all students enrolled in the academic course. Two semesters are offered in each subject, the former being taught bv Mr. Jones and the latter In-Mr. Duffin. I here are also three advanced courses in mathematics conducted by Mr. Duffin. These are solid geometry, trigonometry, and advanced algebra. Each of these requires one semester and is worth one-half a credit. Higher algebra is offered lor one semester each year, while trigonometry and solid geometry are given every other year. These advanced courses are taken by those students who intend to take a college course involving a considerable amount of mathematics. More interest has been shown in mathematics now than in previous years, as the enrollment shows. There is a general idea that geometry and the more advanced courses are very difficult. Any student, however, if he is willing to try, is able to master these. Dan I f Chamberlain, B. S Metal Work A Rerucha. B S. Electricity. Mechanical Drawing C. 11 Christopherson. B. S. Woodwork INDUSTRIAL ARTS Boys make their first contact with the industrial arts work when they enter the seventh grade. In this grade a ten-week unit in home mechanics and a similar unit of work in shop sketching are offered. In the eighth grade, the students take ten-week units each of woodwork and electricity. The industrial arts work in grades seven and eight is assumed to have sufficient values in general education to make it a required course for all boys. In the senior high school there is an industrial arts curriculum consisting of four years of shop work. The ninth grade work is largely exploratory in nature. Each student is routed through four shops consisting of woodwork, electricity, general metal, and mechanical drawing. Ten weeks are devoted to each of the four subjects. In grade nine, the students have an opportunity to find their likes and dislikes for the various types of industrial work as well as their abilities in each of these separate fields. In grades ten, eleven, and twelve, the work is elective, and each course runs throughout the entire year. The following subjects are offered: machine shop, advanced woodwork, mechanical drawing, and machine drawing. The work of these three grades is more specialized in nature, and helps the student to more successfully gain entrance in one of the various industrial occupations. Mabel Collins Agnes Myhre Marie G Dwyer, R. N , John Gilbert Librarian J. H. Librarian C. P H Attendance Officer School Nurse LIBRARY The Wakefield Township Library, in charge of Mrs. Collins, is located in the Senior High building. It is intended, not only for the benefit of the students, but for the community at large. The number of books, growing steadily from year to year, receives almost constant use. A branch of the library is located in the Junior High School. Here, in the pleasant reading room, Miss Mvhre, assisted by high school girls, checks out books to the seventh and eighth grade students. SCHOOL NURSE Until the beginning of the second semester, Miss Dwyer nursed the ills and dressed the wounds of the high school students in her office on the second floor. At that time, however, she resigned to take over the duties of a county nurse, much to the sorrow of all of those who were accustomed to coming into contact with her. Her place has l een filled very well bv Miss Elvira Nelson. ATTENDANCE OFFICER Ginger” has the honor of checking up on bummers.” He has developed an eagle eye, which is a constant menace to students who are inclined to take a vacation. He also assists Mr. Ylvisaker in giving out excuse slips. OFFICES J. A. Fredrickson, the purchasing agent, is continually bothered by the teachers who want something sent for but he is very accommodating, as is his assistant, Miss Antoinette Zazeski. M iss Anne Rydeski and iMiss Helen Laakso are the secretaries respectively to Mr. Berner and Mr. Ylvisaker. Hkit Laakso Anne Rydeski J. A.

SENIOR ACTIVITIES The Senior history for the class of 1931 was started by such minor activities as selling confectioneries at games, holding dances and social hours. Then came the Class Play. April 24th, the title of which was. The Whole Town’s Talking,” written by John Emerson and Anita Loos, and directed by Miss Velma Sherrod. The play provided a very enjoyable evening of entertainment. Class Day came next, on June 5th. On this day the class presented its talent to the lower classmen. Musical numbers, instrumental and vocal, together with skits and sketches, made up an interesting and enjoyable program. The Baccalaureate service was held June 7th. the Sunday before Commencement. The Address to the graduating class was delivered by a well-known clergyman. Other numbers on the program were musical. Graduating Seniors attended in a body. The most impressive of the Senior meetings this year was Commencement. Commencement June 10th. ended the scholastic and athletic careers of fifty-four Spliors. The valedictorian and the salutatorian gave their acknowledgments of honors, and candidates for the National Honor .Society were named. The diplomas were then presented by Dr. H. A. Trcssel, president of the Board of Education. This year the Senior class left a Memorial together with the presentation of a sum of money to the Student Loan Fund. As many Seniors require help from this fund to continue their work jn college, the Class of 1931 feels that it should contribute. The Senior class has also had the pleasure of listening to vocational talks by college men. which were very helpful in choosing a student's college, and. incidentally, his life work. hlu.

To exalt these objectives and to hold them ever before the school as goals towards which all should strive, is the purpose of the Society. It induces the students to aspire to scholarly habits, enlisting in worthy service and leading forward in all things that advance the welfare of the school. As the keystone is placed bv the builder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must be held firm and true to the purposes of life by the virtues represented in the society’s symbol. Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance ami superstition through scientific investigation ol truth; Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man’s upward climb; Character, the composite of all the common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor, while Service is the beginning and end of our education, the altar ol altruism from which God’s blessings to man have been vouchsafed. Pupils eligible to election in the National Honor Society must stand in the first fourth of their respective classes in scholarship. Of this one-fourth, fifteen per cent of the graduating class may lie chosen. In picking out this first one-fourth, grades for the first and second years are counted along with grades of later years. The list of pupils arranged alphabetically is then submitted to a committee of teachers for their consideration. The members picked for the National Honor Society must belong to that fifteen per cent of the class which is most representative, not only in Scholarship, but in Character, Leadership, and Service. Se ven persons were chosen to represent the Class of 1931 in the National Honor Society. The newly-elected members are Ida Amicangioli, Mary Brown, Savino Cavender, Sylvia Kujala, Alvin Kumpula, Sylvia Lien, and Mildred Plichta.

Secretary-Treasurer Sandern Bonka Sandy' O Romeo, where art thou?' JUNIORS Just a glance back before we take another step on this one-way path of life. Three years ago, in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty eight, we entered this Institution of Higher Education. A record-breaking class we were one hundred and nineteen strong. At the beginning we may have been a little unripe for whispers of green ' clung around us. But the rough edges soon wore off and we became active members of this school. We were the guests ol the Sophomores at the annual warming-up party, and later in the year were their hosts in return. We also gave a free social-hour that year. We supported the teams in all sports. With only a slight decrease in the numbers of our ranks, we returned the following fall as seasoned Sophomores. We helped to polish the rustic Freshman by entertaining them at the ice breaking party. Our field of activities broadened. Sports, dramatics, music, and other clubs claimed members from our class. Others strove for high honors in scholastics. Another year passed into history. We returned in the fall once more to these familiar surroundings. We selected Miss Olson and Miss Adams as our class advisers. We determined to make our mark in the sands of time. Out interests, this eventful year, were enormous. Our boys won a regular place on the school teams in football, basket ball, swimming and track. Our class won the Class Basket Ball Championship. We had active members in the band, orchestra, Ili-Y, and Mask and Bauble club. I he Echo and Tattler staffs were swelled by our classmen. We have been well represented on the Honor Roll. And the Junior Prom was the big social event of the whole school year. Now, as the last days of our Junior year flv all too swiftly by, our thoughts turn to our final year within the walls of our school. We are resolved to make the most of all opportunities and to make next year's Senior class one of which the Wakefield High School can be proud. 23 to % r.%. Steve Chemoff “Chemoff Who loves to study?

Coach Duffin had the difficult task of finding a combination to do the work of the 1929 Champs.” The veterans. Captain Buck, Cavendcr, Tressel, Neznanski, Yatchak, and Vale-sano formed the nucleus of the 1950 squad. The development of the team was further hindered by the injuries received bv several members during the first few weeks of practice. At a serious disadvantage because of crippled and inexperienced men, the team won its first victory of the season over L'Anse with a 26-6 score. September 20—The Cardinals and the Ironwood Red Devils played. Wow, what a game! and what a crowd! But—we lost. The Red Devils experience was too much for Wakefield's inexperience. Ironwood played a fighting game, eager to average last year's 14-13 defeat by the Cardinals. Score 19-0. September 27—The Cardinals traveled to Superior under a dripping sky Once there, they were informed that the game was cancelled because of a too muddy field. Although the boys regretted not being able to play, nevertheless they managed to amuse themselves easily at the Y. M. C. A. Building. They «also had the opportunity of seeing a night football game between North Dakota and Superior Normal. October 4 —A crippled Wakefield team met the really great Bessemer football team on this Saturday. The Cardinals received the ball on the kick-off and pulled a shoe-string pass which nearly netted them a touchdown. It was as close as they came to scoring throughout the entire game. They fought like tigers but were unable to break through the Bessemer defense for any score-making gains. Moreover, a few of the players were injured and were necessarily taken from the game. Score 19-0. October 11—At Houghton. Whew! What a hot day this turned out to be. The teams played with a boiling sun beating its rays on their backs. The Cardinals at first thought that they had the game in their dope bucket, but soon found out that they would have to work before they could win from Coach Bugni’s men. At the half, the score stood at 12 all. Then came the final quarter. Cavender intercepted a pass and ran sixtv-five yards for a touchdown, thus saving the day for Wakefield. Score 18-12. November 1—Hurley at Wakefield. After their scare at Houghton, the Cardinals came back with a bang and played one of the best games of the entire season. The team clicked as a machine. “Sleepy” showed the Range that his skill was not lost and punted the pig-skin sixty to seventy yards, averaging about sixty yards for the game. Although the Hurley players fought stiffly until the end, the clock-like movements of the Wakefield team gave it the advantage. Score 13-0. November 8 — Lake Linden at Wakefield. The Cardinals, showing the same class that they had displayed in the Hurley game, at this time defeated the plucky fighting Lake Linden team. This game will long be remembered in the annals of the school for the seventy yard run which “Sleepy” made after being knocked out. Score 56-0. To fill the shoes of a championship team is a task that would daunt even that group itself if called upon to repeat its former achievement. The rooting section has Mr. Duffin Coach become accustomed to success and a feeling of superiority and is not again willing to take a step back from its former position of glory without considerable fussing and razzing. When inexperienced players undertake this responsibility, they deserve a good deal of credit and praise. The Wakefield High School football team had just such a situation to meet this year. As an inexperienced group, the men were expected to take the place left by the previous Range Champions. Considering the difficulties under which they labored, it is considered that they made an excellent record for themselves. Out of the seven games played during the season, they won five and lost two. In comparison with their opponents’ total of fifty-six points made, they scored one hundred and thirteen points. They lost only to the strong Ironwood and Bessemer teams, the latter of which was the 1930 winner of tne Range Championship in football and one of the best in the Upper Peninsula. Although several men will again be lost by graduation this year, there are a number of lower classmen who have played on either the B-team or the regular squad who will be prepared to take the positions left vacant and to carry on for Wakefield High School.

With the aid of Coach Schuler, he whipped into shape eleven of the best candidates with whom he hoped to have a successful season. Due to inexperience and light weight, the team was not very effective. What the boys lacked in this line, however, they made up with fight. Though playing in only three games this year, they proved that Coach Duflin should nave a lot of good material next year. The first game they played was with the Bessemer “B team. The score was 20-0 in favor of Bessemer, but the battle was closely fought. The second game was wi th Washburn High School. Led by the high school second team, the “ B ” team finished what the second team had begun anti the final score was 13-7 with Wakefield on the long end. Their third and last game was with Marenisco High School. With the aid of the second team, they brought their season to a close with a 24-7 score. 38 Tubby Wahlbkrg, Cheerleader Front Row—C. t rbanski, J. Mihicvc. M Hammer. Coach Trewyn. Middle Row—L.

BASKET BALL When the annual call for basket ball was sounded, Coach Wood was greeted by forty candidates. The squad was cut down to twenty members. Of these three regulars were back from last year's great team. They were Captain Buck and Neznanski, guards, and Yatchak, center. These men formed the backbone for Coach Wood s 1951 team. The others on the squad included Zazeski, Valesano, Tressel, Olejniczak, and Mihieve. The team fulfilled Coach Wood's expectations in the first game of the season against Bergland, and ran wild. Bergland was no match for the Cardinals. Score 24-13. December 13—Glidden, here. Coach Wood started the second team in this game and Glidden led the scoring until the first string entered the contest and showed wonderful action. Score 33-14. December 17—Marquette, there. Coach Wood again started his second string, but Marquette was soon ahead, 7-0. When the Cardinal regulars were sent into the game, they took the lead several times, but could not hold it. Score 16-20. January 9—Stambaugh, here. Although our boys fought up hill, they gave all they had for W. H. S. Wakefield could not overtake Stambaugh's stalling game. Score 25-15. January 10—Iron River, there. The Cardinals played a much l etter brand of ball the second night than Mr Wood. Coach 39 Zazeski Buck Cavender Valesano Forward Guard Forward Forward they did against Stambaugh. In this game, the ball was handled in a very fine style. Score 24-14. January 16—Hurley, there. S-s-wiss! Bang! Ouch! Wow! The boys needed skates. The floor was so slippery that Hurley led the Cards for three quarters of the game, but the old lighting spirit brought them through at last. Score 11-10. January 21—Bessemer, there. The game of games was played in the Washington gym, at Bessemer. The Cardinals went into the game as underdogs, because of the small playing space. The first half of the game was played on the defensive; in the second half, Wakefield opened up its offense and won after a hard battle against an excellent team. Zazeski was the high point man, connecting for 6 points. Score 13-8. January 28—Ironwood, here. Ironwood went ahead in the first half, but again the Cardinals’ last minute really pulled them through, while an amazed crowd cheered. Score 26-23. February 16—Hurley, here. This time the Cardinals expected a hard battle, but with their new style of offense, they showed their supremacy over the Hurley boys. Score 33-12. February 13—Iron River, here. In the first minute of play Wakefield scored six points using a rotating oflense which completely bewildered Iron River. Score 19-9. February 20—Ironwood, there. The Red Devils popped in the first basket and kept the lead to the last quarter. Then they intended to stall, but again the Cardinals stole their thunder. Buck and Neznanski each scoring two points, thus putting the Cards ahead. Score 15-13. February 25—Bessemer, here. This was the kind of a game that you often read about but seldom see. It was an exciting thirty-two minutes of fast basketball. Wakefield started out with a lead of five 40 _____ ________________________________________________________ Oleiniczak Mehieve Hammer Forward Guard Forward Yrkkola Neznanski Yatchak Tressel Guard Gunrd Center Center points in the first quarter. Later in the third quarter, Bessemer went ahead five points, 11-7, hut the Cardinals never gave up. In the last three minutes of play Neznanski scored six points for his team. Score 16-14. February 27—Stambaugh, there. In the second game against Stambaugh, Wakefield did not have a snow. Coach Wood tried several combinations, but none of them seemed to work successfully. Score 39-10. March 6-7-8—District Tournament. With a sick bunch of boys and few hopes, Coach Wood set out for the District Tournament at Iron River. But the Cardinals showed the coach and the school an indomitable spirit and won first place and the right to enter the Regional Tourney bv defeating Bessemer and Iron wood, their old rivals, for the third successive time. March 12-13-14—Upper Peninsula Tournament. Wakefield defeated Paines-dale, 22-12, in the first round of the tournament, but was itself thrown out of the race by Iron Mountain, the Upper Peninsula Champs, by one lone point. As a result the Cardinals played Hancock in the consolation and won third place. The Cardinals are proud of their season's record. They won the Range Championship, and first place in the District and third in the Upper Peninsula Tournament. Three boys. Buck, Neznanski, and Cavender, were picked for the All-Tournament team, the largest number to be chosen from any school. Much of the credit for their success is due to Coach Wood and his assistants, Trewvn and Schuler. Season s Record: Berftland 1.1 Cardinals 24 , lidden 14 .1.1 Marquette.

Schuler, Coach. “B” TEAM With Coach Trewyn helping Coach Wood with the first squad, the “B ’ team was placed in the hands of Coach Schuler. That Coach Schuler ably handled the team may be seen from the fact that the team lost only one game almost equaling the record set by last year’s “B” team, who won all their games. The shifting ball defense, used last year, was again used this year to good advantage. No high score was run up against this defense. The team used a quick-breaking offense, which usually resulted in a basket. R. Yatchak and Hammer were the scoring aces on the team. When these two got going, it was pretty hard to stop them. The team was defeated by the Hurley team at Hurley. This was the one game they lost. Because of the slippery floor, they could not run through any of their plays. There were many capable subs who could ably fill the shoes of the regulars if need be. With the exception of Hammer, a Senior, the whole squad will be back next year, battling for places on the first team. There were no natural shots on the team. The ball was usually worked down the floor until someone could take a close-in shot. This practice usually proved effective as many large scores were run up. The team played a good, clean brand of basket ball. They outscored their opponents, 85 to 31.

Playing in only six games this year, they won three, but they defeated the Iron wood Junior High, which is quite a feat. All of the regulars on this year's team will be lost to the Junior High as thev will all become Sophomores next year. This will only leave green material with which to build up a team next year. The style of basket ball used this year was a delayed offense. Sometimes the team used a zone defense and sometimes a shifting-ball defense. Earlier in the season they used a man to man defense. Most of the men on the squad were clever ball handlers and accurate shots. Perkio, R. Valesano and Bonello were the mainstays of the team. These three men made most of the points. Radowski and Bonino were a great help in bringing the ball down the floor for a close-in shot. There were a lot of subs who, with a little experience, will make good material next year. The main trouble of the men was their small height, but, barring this, they ought to furnish Coach Wood with a lot of good material next year. Although they lost three of their six games, the team managed to outscore their opponents, 64 to 50.

TRACK 1930 I or the first time in the history of the school, Wakefield, last year, was represented by a track team in many of the meets. Although track had been practised under Mr. Cluley, there never was a regular track team. Much credit is due Mr. Seeger, who was appointed the coach of the first track team. At the beginning of the season. Coach Seeger had several dash men, some distance runners, a few pole vaulters, no broad jumpers, and quite a few field men. With these prospects, he built up a team which set a good record for a first-year team. The first track meet was a class affair, which the Seniors easily won. This meet gave Coach Seeger some idea of the material he had. Quite a few prospects were revealed. The second track meet was a dual skirmish with Iron wood, May 10. The final outcome showed that Wakefield had won by the score of 73 to 48 , having placed in every event. By this time the team was becoming acquainted with its work and was performing better. The third meet was the Upper Peninsula Regional Meet at Houghton, May 17. The Cardinals placed in ten of the possible fourteen events. They received two firsts, Yatchak winning the discus throw, and the shot put. They also received several second places and a few Mr. Sefc;er. Coach thirds. When the meet was over, Escanaba had won 44 first place, Iron Mountain second, and Wakefield third. Six schools competed in the class B division, of which Wakefield was one. The next meet was the Kiwanis meet at Ironwood. The entries were divided into three classes, according to age. Several schools were invited to compete. In class A, the older boys' class, Wakefield came out first, winning the relay, the shot put, and several second places. Hurley was the winner in class B and Ironwood in class C. The fifth and last meet was at Menominee, Michigan. This was the high spot in the track season. The best of teams were entered, and, when the meet was finally over, Wakefield was in the scoring column, winning fourth place. Last year’s track men set a good record at which succeeding teams might well aim. With almost all of the men back this year, the track squad should favorably compare with other teams in the Upper Peninsula. The Lettermen included the following: Hanson, 100, 220 yard dash, high hurdles, relay team; Cavender, 100, 220 yard dash, low hurdles, relay team; Hammer, mile run, high jump; Jaakkola, pole vault; V. Yatchak, high hurdles, discus throw, shot put, relay team; Buck, half mile, pole vault; A. Valesano, 440 yard dash; Makinen, pole vault, 880 vardrun; Baltic, discus, 880 yard run; Tankka, pole vault; Gembolis, mile run; Collins, hurdles, relay team, 220 yard dash. Hanson.

This year it has been completely reorganized. A new constitution was drawn up and distributed among the mem tiers. Meetings are held every first Monday of the month. There are approximately forty-three members in the Athletic Club. No one becomes a member until 125 points in two or more sports have been made. The various sports are: Spring and summer, baseball, roller skating, tennis, hiking, swimming, and other outdoor sports; fall and winter, soccer, volley ball, basketball, ice skating, skiing, ice hockey, and tobogganing. Each girl has the opportunity to join the sport or sports in which she is particularly interested. When one has earned 700 points, she may wear the G. A. A. pin. Numerals are awarded for 500 points earned bv playing on three first class teams or varsities. The “W, the highest honor of the organization, is given away only after the girl has earned 1400 points. This school year began with the whizzing of tennis rackets. Tennis was talked everywhere. After several weeks of getting acquainted with our new tennis court and practice, a tournament was held. Games were played between girls and then the winners until two were left. A final combat was held between Mary Ellen Jacobs and Miss Jacobs. Catherine Collins. Catherine Collins won. Adviser In the meantime field hockey began. The Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen each had a representative team out. Class teams were chosen and a tournament played, the outcome of which was as follows: Juniors...................... 3 Sophomores................... 0 Juniors...................... d Freshmen..................... 2 Sophomores................... 7 Freshmen..................... 0 The Juniors were declared the winners. A varsity team was chosen which consisted mostly of Sophomores and included one Junior, even though they had won the tournament.

Following the first good freeze, ice hockey was organized, but the ice rinks didn't last long enough to accomplish anything. During the winter and spring months a hike was planned for each Sunday, a different girl taking charge of each Sunday. With spring came basket ball and a tournament was held among the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The outcome, in favor of the Sophomores, was as follows: Seniors 9 Juniors 21 Sophomores 18 Freshmen 6 Seniors 16 Sophomores 90 Juniors 18 Freshmen 6 Freshmen 12 Seniors 21 Juniors 10 Sophomores 11 The varsity, as announced immediatlv afterwards, included Bertha Jaakkola, Mary Mirchoff, Vivian Tobin, Vera Buck, Mildred Mraz, Helen Miljevich, Mona Kan-ieski, Domicella Zielinski, and Lucille Xeznanski.

It has made considerable development and progress during the past year. It is finally arriving and developing not only into a pep band of considerable showing but into a band of concert calibre. The band has made numerous appearances in public, furnishing music at football and basket ball games, pep sessions, and assembly programs. The most listless of crowds has quickly come to life at the appearance of the band on the basket ball floor—and sprung to its feet at the first note of “Cardinals.” The instrumentation of the band is practically complete and well balanced. It consists of twelve clarinets, one E-b clarinet and one alto clarinet. Three saxophones, one oboe, one bassoon, one piccolo, eight trumpets, five horns, two baritones, four trombones, two sousapnones, one upright bass, snare drum, cymbal, and base drum. The band will again take part in the Gogebic County Band Concert to be held this year in Wakefield. This band is made up of the combined bands of Iron wood, Bessemer, and Wakefield. 50 ♦ Seated—B.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year has made its place in the regular curriculum of the school. Up to now the orchestra has been more or less an extra-curricular activity with rehearsals after school. This year rehearsals have been held during school hours. For this reason the orchestra has made quite rapid strides and will continue to do so. The orchestra is still in its infancy, but, with a wealth of new material being developed, it will not be long before the orchestra will be one of the outstanding organizations in the school. Pupils in the 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, and gives them a wonderful chance for self-expression. Nothing gives such satisfaction in self-expression as music. Moreover, the value of the thorough discipline in rhythm cannot be overestimated. The instrumentation of the orchestra: Four first violins, six second violins, two violas, two cellos, two string basses, four clarinets, one oboe, one bassoon, two saxophones, two trumpets, two horns, one trombone, one sousaphone, one snare drum and a bass drum. - •—•— JU -cc-c.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Nineteen thirty-one is the first year in the history of the Wakefield High School to introduce Senior High vocal work as a class in the curriculum. We feel that Wakefield has greatly advanced in their musical program by this action. The Senior High Girls' Glee Club is composed of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls. The meetings are held for a period of forty-five minutes, three times a week. As the Senior High Boys' Glee Club meets at the same time, a Senior High Mixed Chorus has been organized. With the organization of the Senior High Girls' Glee Club as a curriculum study, the work has been thoroughly organized and much more intensive, this being impossible when it was a recreational Club. The work covered is a development of technical problems of correct singing which were introduced in the Junior High Glee Clubs. These problems consist of correct placement of voice, correct breathing, good diction, enunciation, and pronunciation. The Club and Mixed Chorus took an active part in the Christmas Nativity. During the year they appeared on several programs and were vitally interested in the County Music Festival. This program was held at Bessemer on May, the sixth. They are also ready for the concert during National Music Week, for Baccalaureate and for Commencement. t First Row—J. Miskovich. J. Martinkoski. A. Trcgonning. A. Mann. Second Row—G. Ayottc, C.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The progress anti success of some musical organizations cannot always be the number of public appearances made upon the pleasure and benefit derived from them bv their members. based upon the number of public appearances made during the year, but rather So it is with a glee club. Although they haven't made many appearances, the boys have gotten together and had a lot of fun just singing. One gets a lot of pleasure out of harmonizing with a bunch of fellows. It seems to bring them closer together, especially when once in awhile they get that close barber shop type of harmony. Most of our time has been spent on songs of artistic merit, with much attention to interpretation. The underlying aim in all our work has been to get the most out of a song from the point of view of the pleasure of each individual in singing, the working together as a group in a musical and artistic manner, and, a somewhat neglected view point, that of giving pleasure to others. This organization meets twice a week as a Glee Club and once a week with the Girls' Glee Club combined as a mixed chorus. The chorus had an important part in the Christmas program, doing a very commendable piece of work. The Glee Club will make Chorus and Glee Club concert a its appearance at the arjnual XJogebi t Bessemer in May. Vi j,v's'y s' bic Countv 53 A. , W r ,,|l ✓ y .1' J o T % A) '' First Row—D. Tuoro. C.

FRESHMEN GLEE CLUB The Wakefield High School has six musical organizations in the “Vocal” department; three of which are Junior High Clubs. The personnel in the Junior High clubs consists of students in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. In the Junior High, preparatory work is accomplished for entrance in the Senior organization. The Freshmen Glee Club is voluntary although every voice is tested before admittance. Every Tuesday and Thursday for a period of one hour, forty girls meet for Glee Club. It is recreational as well as educational, because through a basis of technical knowledge of the principles of good singing and preparation of songs, and new material to stress these problems, we obtain the educational value; while with the development of a repertoire and public performances, we obtain the recreational enjoyment. The Junior High Girls’ Glee Club took an active and important part in the “Christmas Nativity.” All members’ attention was concentrated on the preparation of material for participation in the County Music Festival; this program was held at Puritan, May the thirteenth. As the first week of May is nationally set aside as “Music Week,” a musical concert was prepared, in which all musical organizations of Wakefield High took part. In June the Club furnished music for Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. First Row—J. Bonino. G. Elliott, R. Bcmer. Second Row—L. Aho, E. Kujala, F. Mihievc, L. Hillis, B. Nicmi. Third Row—S.

MARIONETTE CLUB A marionette is a loosely jointed doll-like figure which is strung on strings, and operated from above, by hand. The giving of marionette plays is a form of entertainment dating back to Egyptian times, and found in various guises in all the countries of the world. The Marionette Club is new this year. The membership is limited to pupils of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The average number of members has been twenty-five. The purpose of the club is to make marionettes, construct a stage, and produce plays; leaving the group design and make the scenery, costume the players, and superintend the production. Every member constructed a head for a marionette, molding it just from wax, then covering it with many layers of glued paper. After the play was chosen, and characters picked, the marionette could be completed, costumed, and colored to suit the personality of its character. A stage, especially adapted to the production of marionettes, was constructed. There were enough members to make three groups for play production. and each group designed original scenery and costumes for their production. The Club is under the leadership of A'liss Sherrod and Miss Thorpe, and meets during fifth period on Wednesday. One hour a week is too soon gone, and the work consequently progresses very slowly, but it is call very interesting and it’s fun to let your imagination run to plan costumes and settings, and later to operate and speak for one of the diminutive players. 55 In Front—R Thompson.

MASK AND BAUBLE CLUB The purpose of the Dramatic Club is first, to formulate a deeper appreciation and a more critical understanding of drama; secondly, to acquire deeper appreciation and more tolerant understanding of other people by playing and living in their character; and, third, to learn arts, other than acting which are connected with the theatre, namely, lighting, scenery, and makeup. The Club has been heard from more this year than at any other time in its history. The annual play was put on with great success and the assembly was also surprised with two well presented one-act plays, The Trysting Place, a comedy, and The Valiant, a tragedy. The annual takeoff on the teachers was also sponsored by the club. The different types of drama have been studied during meetings—satire, allegory, farce, comedy, tragedy, etc., and a play of each type has been read. Short plays were also presented before the club, giving experience in all the machinery of presenting plays. A point system was worked out which enables members to get pins. Every iMask and Bauble member is aware of the meaning of this award. It stands for steady, hard work and a lot of time spent in acting, planning and staging plays. At present quite a few members have these pins and if one works hard enough, he may secure a guard for it. Not many members have achieved this honor. Officers for next year's club have not yet l een elected. The officers for this year's club are: Savino Cavender, president; Martha Jurmu, vice president; and Edward Collins, secretary and treasurer. 56 Left to Right—Edward Collins, Edward Singleton; Emma Karling.

Kyne, was presented with great success November 21, 1950 by the Dramatic Club. The central figure is Alden P. Ricks, known as “Cappy. Me is a weatherbeaten, old sea dog devoted to his daughter. Under his rough exterior is a heart of gold. Me hates Matt Peasely, first mate on one of the vessels. He ships him with Ole Peterson, a veritable sea wolf, with instructions to put Matt “thro' and cure him of his “freshness. W hen the ship returns from the voyage, Cappy finds Matt in command, after beating up the captain. Matt meets Rick's daughter, Florence, in Cappy's office and falls in love with her, and she with him. Matt resigns from Cappv's staff and forms a competing company. W’ith the assistance of Florence, he starts to “lick Cappy Ricks, —and successfully gets Ricks “going. Finally Ricks is beaten, but Matt, persuaded by Skinner, Matt's “hand man, —pretends that Cappy has won. Cappy is then satisfied—and he really loves his daughter, so everything is settled; they are forgiven. The cast included Savino Cavender, Cecil Pericles Bernard; Ellen Murray, Ruth Thompson; John Skinner, Sandern Bonka; Alden Ricks, Arthur Mann; Florence Ricks, Gretchen Mvers; Edward Singleton, Edward Collins; Aunt Lucy Ricks, Emma Karling; Matt Peasely, Gordon Tressel; Steve Baltic, a chauffeur. The scenery for this play was made by members of the club. M iss Sherrod, assisted bv Mildred Plichta and Mary Brown, directed the play. 57 INTERPRETIVE DANCING CLUB WHY DANCE? We dance for the love of movement swift. For joy we feel in outstretched arms. For sheer abandon as we lift Out bodies, soaring on and on. To live again another’s mood And be thus guided for an hour, To feel our spirits more imbued With sense of mastery, of power. Io move and in that moving know What anguish grips, what joys enhance All others' lives as on they go— Just this alone is cause to dance. The members of the Interpretive Dancing Club include: B. Delmet, Presi- dent: M. Mezzano, Secretary; G. Elliott, L. Harju, L. Hillis, D. Hornibrook, 0. Jaakkola, E. Kujala, E. Lawler, L. Lewandowski, P. Aloran, J. A'lyers, and L. Roberts. 58 41 DOLPHIN CLUB The Dolphin Club was organized for the first time this year in order to create a more active interest in swimming among the girls of Wakefield High School. When a student has attained a certain level of proficiency in class wont, she is invited to try out for membership in the Dolphin Club. Because of the high entrance requirements, the club members represent the best swimmers in the high school. One aim of the club, besides earning a Junior Life Saving emblem, is to create and produce an annual water pageant. This year “The Coronation of King Neptune” was given at the Community pool on December 10th. Mary Ellen Jacobs is the president of the Dolphin Club, Jean Myers, the secretary, and Marylis Teppo, the treasurer. The other members include Lucille Proteau, Clara Johnson, Ruth Xiemi, Dorothy Gustafson, Lillian Harju, Charlotte Ronan, Gretchen Myers, Gertrude Luoma, Stephanie Mihieve, Ellen Niemi, Nelva Gilbertson, Katherine Wilson, Thelma Wahlberg, and Evelyn Gilbertson. 4 First Row—V.

SCHOOL SERVICE CLUB I lit- School Service Club was organized in the fall of the school year for the purpose of being of service to the school and of eventually becoming a factor in student government. Savino Cavender and Sylvia Kujala were elected chairman anti secretary, respectively. It is composed of eighteen members, mostlv Juniors and Seniors, chosen bv M iss Olson, the sponsor of the club. In order to become a member one must have certain qualifications such as leadership, initiative, respect, tact, and responsibility, anti must be an outstanding member of the class. Two projects that have been worked out by this club are the point system and a school handbook. The point system is for the purpose of stimulating greater student participation in school activities such as athletics, dramatics. Echo, Tattler, etc. The aim of a school handbook is to inform students of the activities and regulations of the school in order that they may more easily adapt themselves to the school. 1 his handbook will be presented to the students at the opening of the next school year. The two lower classes of the school will find it of great value. Pep assemblies have been a part of the club. Do you remember the pep session before the Bessemer basket ball game? It certainly produced the old pepper. These have helped to develop a wonderful school spirit at the football and basket ball games and track meets. The club is also planning an assembly to be given during the month of May. It is going to be called Play Day” and is to be held on the athletic field. A baseball game between the faculty and boys is planned along with other races and stunts. 60 First Row—D. Grigg, M. E. Jacobs, E. Carr, C. Cox, M. Baltic. Second Row—D. Zielinski, J. Gouza, J.

DEBATE CLUB I he Debate Club, meeting on Thursday at the fifth hour each week, was organized at the beginning of the year, with a membership of about ten, none of whom were experienced debaters. The initial work of the club was to study the principles of effective speaking, the elements of good argument, and the preparation and organization of a debate. Then the members began their study of material on the state debate question: Resolved: That National Chain Grocery Stores operating in the state of Michigan are detrimental to the people of that state. The club did some informal debating on the question. Because of conflicts in programs several of the members found it necessary to withdraw from the club. The four remaining members then voted to change the nature of the club in order to include a larger group of people. Now the A. A. A. Club (interpreted as “Anything At All” because the members are not limiting the range of the interests) has taken the place of the debate club and is organized along the plan of an old-fashioned literary club, including among its activities, debating, dramatics, public speaking, music, and games. Theodore Neznanski is president, and Domicella Zielinski, secretary. The girls take charge of the program one week; the boys, the next. Following is a list of the present members: Genevieve Budgick, Raymond Cameron, Allan Cameron, Jeannette Cavender, Cordie Cox, Hubert Fountain, Henry Myers, Ted Neznanski, Roy Porter, Leona Savinski, Johanna Savitski, Theressa Savitski, Sulo Seppa, Ruth Thompson, Helen Tuoro, Martha VVaara.

Its platform is as follows: Clean speech, clean athletics, clean sportsmanship, and clean living. The Hi-Y Club started at the beginning of the year with nine of its old members. The officers were elected from this group. Many new members have joined the club during the year. There are at the present time, twenty members. The club decided to take in only one Freshman this year. This honor went to Robert Hooper. This year many meetings have been given over to the study of vocational guidance. Speakers from different vocations have given very fine talks. Some of the things that the club has done during the year are: sponsored a Freshman Stag, served lunch to the football team, filled a Christmas basket for the poor, and sponsored a field day for the grades. Various organizations of the city sent five of the Hi-Y members to the Older Boys’ Conference at Iron Mountain. Mr. Graper went along as a delegation leader. All members of this group will never forget the good time that was had at this conference. Many good things were brought back as well as many acquaintances made. This year's Hi-Y Club has been a great success and boys of the coming year should look forward to becoming members. 64 Standing—A. Hanson. J. Couza. R. Wojciehowski, S. Graikoski. S. Kacmarck. J.

The Scouts rebuilt their scout camp and enjoyed winter camp during their Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations with good attendance. Since then, the Scouts have hardly missed a week-end at camp and have put the real Out” in their Scouting program. While Camp has been very important, the scouts have done other major projects. Co-operating with the American Legion, the Scouts put on the Armistice Program at the Community Building. In December the Scouts rendered more than one hundred sixty hours of service in their Toy Hospital administering First Aid to the Injured Toys.” A Patrol Leader's Training Course was given to eight boys during January by Scoutmaster Johnson. Anniversary Week, February 8th—14th will long be remembered by the Troop. Outstanding events during the week included an Anniversary Supper at the Wico Club, a Troop Mobilization and an interesting Scout Rally which the American Legion sponsored with demonstrations in signalling, first aid, knot tving, fire by friction, and drill. During the remainder ol February and March, tbe Inter-Patrol Contest was the event that made the patrols snap up a bit. Many advancements were made in both second and first class scouts, with a few merit badges earned. During April a get-together with Troop No. Two was held featuring scout games, inter-patrol contests, singing, and a good teed. Another growth in Wakefield's scouting was noticed during April with the starting of a patrol in each of the locations of Verona and Comet. The Black Eagles are now looking forward to the time when they go to Marquette encampment for a two week's outing and are working hard for that goal. 65 Seated—D. Grigg, B. Mallgren, C. Bodoh, W.

This club is probably one of the most interesting in high school and most fascinating. The members delve into the hidden secrets of Photography—they learn how a camera works, how to take pictures and develop them, and how to make finished prints. They have not only discovered the fundamentals of Photography, but have done special work in the line of tinting and making blue prints. There are fifteen members in the Kodak Club. These members are given the privilege of getting their supplies through the club at a very reasonable price, thus enabling them to develop more pictures—and even to experiment at very little cost. The members sold mirrors, with photos on the back, to the student body, and later it developed into a mirror selling contest. Any member who sold ten mirrors received a box camera. In doing this any person with a little pep could get a camera for himself, and quite a few of the members did receive these cameras. A grand prize, a vest pocket kodak, for selling the greatest number of the mirrors, was won by Radu MirchofT. You probably remember the members of the Kodak Club asking you to put on your best face while they took your picture. That was the Kodak Club in in action for the Echo. The club has always been very helpful by handing in interesting snaps for the snap-shot section. 66 Standing—Mr. Secgcr, B. Berner, J. Gouza, C. McGraw. J. Miskovitch, F. Mihieve, T. Bonino, E.

TUMBLING In the last two years much has been achieved in tumbling. All work in this activity has been confined to the sixth, seventh and eighth grades with the idea in mind that these boys would be interested enough in tumbling to continue while in high school. When a seventh or eighth grade boy can perform flips and back somersaults with ease, there is only the smoothness and precision that he lacks before he can become an expert in this line. These qualities may be gained only through constant practice and experience. Outstanding work has been done this year by several boys. Alpo Maki, tinv seventh grader, is very good in hand balancing and individual tumbling. Bennie LeRoux, Chester LeRoux, and Chester McGraw are quite accomplished in both combination and individual tumbling. Much should be expected from these boys in the next few years. Besides these four boys, there are at least a dozen others who have reported for practice regularly and who soon can be classed as good tumblers. For boys, tumbling is the most natural exercise in the world. It is the one universal exercise used by the whole human family from the earliest times, and will continue in use as long as the world lasts. Besides the development, from tumbling, boys get co-ordination and control to a remarkable extent which will be invaluable to them in an exercise that they may engage in later on. 07 THE THKE-OFf SHOCK INQ KXHtBiTlOK---- •Y HorRU Wltf VlCToH.1000 H Y«S Doa-FtaHT.3 HOW D€ t SHIP’S LOG Sept. 2—8:50 A.
