Sanchez Coach The Pigskin jFfcrade opened for the j-ards with about sixty men reporting for duty in complete football togs. Yet of all the boys reporting for practice, Coach Duffin had only one letter man back. The rest of the boys were as green as the turf on which they were practicing. But although the boys were inexperienced, they made up for that by displaying real football enthusiasm and pep. Coach Duffin’s work came in sifting through sixty men so as to fashion a. football eleven. After a few days of preliminary training, the sciuad was cut down and the actual work began. The smaller fellows who would have had no chance were put on the Six Man.Squad to gain experience; and the rest of the lucky fellows were tried in the positions they had gone out for. At the ends were Vidocovich, Wortley, Zorich, Wasielewski, and R. Nelson. Considering the limited amount of playing these boys had before this season, they turned in exceptionally fine games. The first three will be back next year to help fashion a new t e am« At tackles were Korpi, Mazurek, Kuiawa, and Brozzo. All of these fellows, especially Korpi, a Junior, showed plenty of pep, and Korpi should go to town next year. At center, Trezise proved a capable man, and Valesano, a junior, held his own in the games he played in. The backfield centered around T.7edenoJe, the only man on the souad with former football experience. About him were Lepinski, Leplsto, Negro, Nelson, B, Maki, and Sanchez. Taking everything into consideration, the boys gave every game all they could put into it and no one could expect more than they did. The Cards held down teams to low scores; teams with experienced men; players who had played with each other for two or more years. On an average, the team was fairly light but all the opposition found it difficult to penetrate into scoring territory, A new twist that had not been seen in any former Cardinal team was a peppy shift that the Coach brought out about the middle of the season. Since Coach Duffin gave all of the fellows a chance to play, chances are that next year he will have a better group to work with and perhaps the Cards will show up much better. From the fans’ viewpoint, this year’s team would surely have lost all its games, and although this prediction was almost correct, no one was really disappointed in the boys, and the different scores were pleasing to even the most exacting fans. Certainly the Cards do not have any need to apologize for any game they played in, and deserve a great hand for all the fight they displayed. The piaying season opened on September 10 against Iron River. Faced by the first of a series of experienced teams, the Cards showed their greenness by getting, confused by some razzle-dazzle plays in the backfield and allowed Iron River to score three times in the first half. Two of the scores came as a direct result of fumbles on the 21 and 30 yard lines. W, H. S. did not have the ball beyond their own 38 yard line in the entire first half. However, the second half told the bleacherites a different story, for the Cards came back and outplayed Iron River to the extent that the boys pushed over a touchdown early in the fourth period. It was as though a different team had come out of the shower room, for the boys displayed a pep and color that had been lacking in the first periods. Although the score was against us, it was really heartening to the fans to see such a fight as . was put up by an inexperienced team. Everyone was also surprised to see that Iron River was held to a 19-6 score. On September 17, the Cards faced the Ironwood Red Devils and really put up a grand fight as they fought the Red Devils almost to a standstill in the midst of a downpour of rain. The overconfident Ironwood team was held to one lone touchdown. The scoring came early in the second quarter, after Irpnwood had recovered a fumble deep in Wakefield territory and drove over for the touchdown after a few plays. Most of the gains came from sliding through the mud, which in spots was almost ankle deep. The ball had to be wiped off after almost every play. Because the running plays bogged down before they could be started, a punting duel developed in which the Cards held their own. The final score: 6-0, The next gridiron battle took place on September 23. Here the Cards were pitted against the Ashland . Ore-Dockers in their first appearance away from home. It was also the first night game played by the squad. The Cardinal offensive failed to function until late in the final quarter when a series of five first downs carried the ball to the Ashland 3 yard line where it was lost on downs. However, the Ore-Dockers found the Card s line easy to penetrate, and with a few flashy reverses were able to roll over the goal line three times. The try for extra point was blocked twice by the Cardinal line. Even this one-sided battle failed to dishearten the crowd, if we can believe the enthusiasm showed as the boys put on their spirited last-quarter drives. The final score read in favor of Ashland, 19-0. On October 1, the Cards met, saw, and were conquered by the strong Bessemer team. The Speed Boys really lived up to their names, as they drove over for touchdowns in the first and third quarters. The Bessemer backfield could not be denied, and although The Cards at Hurley our boys put up a terrific battle, the Speed Boys proved to be Just a little too strong for them. The Cards managed to get down into Bessemer s territory time and again, but they seemed to lack that final drive, losing the ball either on fumbles or downs at least three times within the Speed Boy s ten-yard line, and many times within the twenty-yard line. The boys all gave a good account of themselves, and the beating was lessened when it was learned that the Speed Boys landed at the top of the list when the season ended. The final score was: Bessemer 13, Cards 0, The Cards lost’to Hurley by an Identical score Just one week later. By the way of pass interception and recovering fumbles, Hurley tallied in both the’ first and third quarters. Somehow or other, the W. H, S, squad Just couldn't, get started and never seriously threatened the Huriey goal. The final score read: Hurley 13, Cards 0. The Cards lost again on October 15 to the Park Falls team. Although they managed to score in the third period, they were unable.to hold down the Park Falls scoring attack which rolled on over the goal in the third and final periods.

The boys had a poor season, losing every game by wide margins. A glance at the season’s record shows us that they lost five games, and that they scored 21 points against 104 points for their opponents. However, in spite of their poor showings, the squad received honors on the range and were even'mentioned among the nation’s six-man football teams, as one of the players, Art Nakarado, was picked out on the' Country honor-roll. Six-man football, on the whole, is much faster than'regular'football, and is made up of reverses, laterals, passes, and more passes. The field of play is a trifle smaller, but this is not a handicap as we realize that there are only six men on each team. Six-man football is recommended as one of the best methods for young, would-be players to gain experience and a knowledge of teamwork.

Assistant Coach Pederson, � With nine men on his first squad, Coach Trewyn began practice in earnest, with new plays and set-ups Although all of the boys out had played basketball on either the first or second squads before, they had not had much experience in working with each other. It was to be a new combination to all the boys. Coach Trewyn picked the following: Ero Laaksoharju, Forward. Ero, although a junior , played his second year on the first team. He was a good floor man and could shoot equally well with both hands. Bill Nakarado, Forward. Bill Was also picked for the second time. He hurt his wrist, and was kept out of the line-up for a few weeks. Bill will be back next year, Harry (Duke) Golembeski, Forward. Duke, playing his first year as a regular, put in some fine games, gaining scoring honors several times, Duke got in most of his scoring from directly under the basket and was a dead shot on free throws. Duke is graduating. George (Cabbage) Miheve, Forward. Cabbage was also playing his first year as a regular. His best position seemed to be from the side lines, on an angle from the basket. From here he usually was good for a few points. Cabbage has played his last year. Peter Trezise, Center. Pete’s height and long arms made him a valuable man on the floor. Pete was usually good for the tip-off, and could also recover the ball off the backboard, Pete is graduating. Harry Wasilewski, Center, Harry’s favorite spot on the floor was straddling the free throw line and having the boys break around him for the pass. He could also put the ball through the hoop with a swinging hook shot, Harry has also played his last year, Lee Wilson, Guard. Lee used his dribbling ability to get through the entire opposition. In this way, he often scored several times in a game, Lee has two more years to play for W, H. S. Bob Nakarado, Guard. Bob’s favorite shot was a one hand hook from around the free throw circle. Bob has one more year ahead of him. Bill Desonia, Guard, Bill was surely one of the finest floor men in the conference. His accurate shots scored several times in the games. This is his last year. 9 '� f • . • The Cards got off to a poor start this year, losing four ina a row, but they cane back strong to keep every tean watching then closely and were rated as n’o of tne top teans in the conference loop. 'The boys opened up at Stanbaugh, on the Stanbaugh floor. For sone reason, the Cards offense was not clicking at all. shots riraned the basket and dropped off again. Ilone of the various conbinations tried by Coach Trewyn seemed to be more effective than the previous one, Stanbaugh kept the lead throughout the entire game. The final score was against Wakefield by eight points. Stanbaugh 19, Wakefield 11. At Hurley, the next week, the Cards nade a better showing, but were unable to stop the Hurley offensive. After leading for a great part of the way, the Cards bogged down, and Hurley managed to get up a small lead and to maintain it for the rest of the game. The score was: Hurley 17, Wakefield 13. Wakefield’s next opponent was Bessemer, last year's cage champions. After leading in the first quarter, W. H« S. failed to hold Bessemer down, and Bessemer kept up a steady lead through the rest of the gane. The score: Bessemer 25, Wakefield 19. Marquette Journeyed to Wakefield to tangle with the Cards, Marquette featured a short, snappy passing attack which the Cards Just couldn’t stop. The visitors lead at the end of every period and worked the score up to 18-13 by the end of the game. The Ashland Ore-Dockers were the next team to face the Cards. W. H, S. was held down until the last quarter, when the boys worked off a very long lead of the Ashland team and Ashland was Just able to stave off defeat as the final score read: Ashland 23, Wakefield 22, Ironwood was the first victim to fall before Coach Trewyn s gunners. The Cards worked up an early lead over the conference champions and maintained a safe margin over Ironwood until the gun. The Red Devils failed to press the Cards’ lead at any time in the game. The score read in our favorJ 22-12, The next week end, the Cards again emerged with a victory, as the highly rated DePadua squad went down with a se en point defeat. The plays of the boys worked to perfection and they took advantage of this fact to win again. The score: DePadua 17; Wakefield 24, The Red Devils went down to another defeat as the Cards extended their winning streak. The Cards took another win at the expense of the conference champs by a safe margin. The Red Devils Just couldn't break up the passing attack of the team and we romped to an easy victory. Ironwood 23, Wakefield 28. Revenge is sweet; or so all the fans thought as the Cards made up for their previous loss to Bessemer. The Cards took an early lead and were never threatened throughout the rest of the game. It was a one-sided victory with the Cards coming out on the long end of a 28-13 score. The Cards suffered their first defeat in several games when Iron River cut their winning streak short. The two sharp-shooting Iron River forwards Just wouldn't be stopped and scored 21 points between them as they emerged the winner in a close, exciting game. Iron River 21, Cards 19. Hurley was the next victim of the Cards new found strength. Scoring freely in every period, the Cards kept up a safe lead and came out on top by a 30-21 victory. The Cards broke up the one-point victories or defeats at Ishpeming when they beat the Ishpemlng five by three points. The Cards led at the end of every oerlod and the final gun found them ahead by 19-16. The Lake Linden quintet was outplayed and outpointed as the Cards went to town again. All of the boys got into the scoring column and boosted the score up to a 28-17 victory. After taking two previous victories from the Ironwood Red Devils, the Cards were decidedly the favorites in their first game of the District Tournament However, the Red Devils refused to believe the experts and held down the Cards' floor-work to come out on top No team was more than three points ahead at any time and the crowd could only guess’ as to the winner. Ironwood scored late in the fin?.l period and staved off a final spurt by the Cards until the bell The final score, in favor cf the ?.ad Devils, was 18-16. � A t • � ♦ ACTION IN WAKEFIELD—IRONWOOD TOURNAMENT GAME SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL SEASON Field Goals Free Throws Free Throws Missed Personal Fouls Total Points Wakefield 110 72 186 145 392 ODponents 94 74 100 138 262 Games won-7; Games lost-7 ■■ p 1 ' SB - ■ . ; ' Tom Elliot, Tauno Jarvlnen, Nick Vidocovich, Stanley G-olembeski, Jack Thompson, Eddy Radowski, Bernhardt Maki, Earnest Decur, Peter Bruno, Mike Zorich, Domenic Valesano, Emil G-rasso, Chester Decur, Eugene Corolewskl. The B squad had a fairly successful season, winning four games and dropping six. The boys who played on this year s second team showed plenty of promise and should make some valuable additions to the first-string lineup next year. The season16 schedule shows us that the nB squad scored 153 points and allowed their opponents to score 198 points. Jack Wojlehowski, Ruddy Krznarich, Clayton Randall, Douglas Trezise, Mike Cheraoff, Jim Wilson, Arthur Naka-rado, Mr. Gowe, Tony G-reen, Leonard Wilson, Paul Bi chanich, Jim Kuiawa, Leonard Wedenoja, Louie Orlich. The Junior High squad really had a successful season under Coach Gowe as they won eight games and dropped only two. The beys came out on the top rung of the ladder in their respective conference. They won almost every game by wide margins and the season’s records show us that they scored 208 points against 154 for their opponents. Such practice gives the fellows who report for the team valuable experience and helps to make for better playing when they are sufficiently old enough to play on the first string. TRitCK The cold, March breezes found the Cardinal thin-clads panting, jumping, throwing shot-puts, and what not, all in order to get into first-class working shape for the track season just around the corner. Coach Mall found himself with plenty of eager fellows but with only three letter-men. Last year’s captain—Vvedenoja, Lepisto, and R. Maki. However, the rest of the boys all shewed plenty of pep and the meets which followed the training period proved that they had what it taKes to come in and gain points for Ik. H. S. The following list will point out the fellows who placed consistently in their respective events: . W. H. £. usUaliy placed first, second, and third in the pole-vault with these fellows always coming in: G. iliheve, F. Rosendahl, and B. De sonia. In the low hurdles, R. Maki and Lepisto could always be found nearest the tape at the end of the race. The high jump found bedenoja, Lliiott, Lepisto, and ksielewski easily jumping their own heights to come in with points. Danielson placed second or third consistently in the mile. Brackett and Negro made their points in the 100-yard dash. The Card relay team placed in every meet with these fellows running: Negro, Brackett, Vtasielewski and Wedenoja. The underclassmen this year showed plenty of promise aid should really go places next year. ■ ECHO STAFF THE ECHO STAFF ------ EDITORIAL STAFF - -----PRODUCTION STAFF-------- EDNA RlOANPAArlCR NONA BENSON RITA 8O0AH ARVO SUOMI CRIA LAnPI RUTH AERAE3 MARIE LUI AARA --- ART STAFF--------- — PHOTOGRAPHY — PHOTOGRAPHY BY THE V H.S PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB—1 For the first time in six years the Senior Class will publish an Annual.

It contains all the school news as well as bits of community news and humor from actual and imaginary incidents in school. This year, with the help of our sponsor, Miss Klein we have been fairly successful in our purpose and have issued a Tatler regularly throughout the year. Let’s hope that the Tatler continues in the future to be a successful school paper. 4-H CLUB Five years ago the 4-H Club was organized In Wakefield, This organization is steadily growing larger and more influential, this year's club having the largest number of girls completing their work.

DEBATE For the first time this year, debate was taught as a part of a regular course in our curriculum. The debate squad was quite successful this past season, winning two of four contest debates. The debaters gained victories over Houghton and V atersmeet but were defeated by Marenisco and Trout'Creek. In the tournament held in Wakefield, the negative squad had a perfect day by winning all four debates. The affirmative team also made a fine record, getting three wins. Outstanding debators were chosen by the judges; Three Wakefield students were among those mentioned, namely Annie Zorich, Wilbert Wedenoja, and Bill Desonia. Coach Stanley Cook and Mr. Skytta accompanied four debaters to Cloquet, Minnesota where they participated in a National Forensic tournament. Our debators won four of six debates. Bill Desonia and Wilbert Wedenoja took the Negative, while Ned Matthews and Annie Zorich upheld the affirmative. In January all of the debators went to Superior, Wisconsin.

DRAMATICS CLUB This year's Dramatics Club held its first meeting in October, 1938 to elect the following officers: president, Robert Cribble; vice-president, Marie Castle; secretary, Faith Mattson; treasurer, Billy Trezise, During the year, this club did various things. 'A selected group put on the make-up for both operettas, the pageant, and the Senior Class Play. With the cooperation of the Orchestra and the Chorus, the'members of the Dramatics'Club gave a Christmas pageant, as an assembly program, on December 6. The purpose of this club was to develop the acting ability in each of the members, to learn how'to apply t make-up correctly on various types of people, and to learn the importance of costuming and stage design. At one of the meetings, Mr. Wooster demonstrated the make-up of a typical American girl and'of a typical Japanese girl. At another of the meetings, Sabina Bonino, Bruce Wortley, Douglas Trezise, Ned Matthews, and Margaret Ann Cloon entertained the remaining members by putting on the play, The Trysting Place. At later meetings, the members of'the Dramatics Club heard talks on costuming, stage sets, lighting and stage carpentry, These talks were given by staff members and students with experience in these lines. The members of the Dramatics Club used their meetings as a theater workshop in selecting and preparing material for possible assemblies.

It consists of 32 girls arranged'in squads of 4, a few substitutes, three flag-bearers, and a captain. The girls wear red and white uniforms at their drills. They practice two tines a week for a half . hour after school. The Drill Team serves for a worthy purpose, that is, to make people posture conscious. They have performed at a number of basketball games this year, forming letters and other drills. They also took part in the Crowning of the King and Queen. The Girls’ Drill Team serves also as the nucleus of the cheering section. They hope to meet with success next year as they have this past year. - 9 BOY SCOUTS The Black Eagle Troop of the Boy Scouts of America is sponsored by the local Rotary Club.

Guided by our President, Bob Grlbble, we skimmed through a swell year. The high-light of our Freshle season was our class party, where everyone enjoyed an evening of knee-knocking and toe tramping. We also played an active part in the newly organized clubs and in the popular King and Queen contest. With a little store of knowledge and a large store of fun, we advanced----- When we attained the higher position of Sophomores the disposition of the class was revised to a more serious attitude, an attitude by which we squelched the green Freshles, scorned the simple Juniors, and mocked the dignified Seniors. No longer were we wide-eyed and wondering but considered ourselves worldly-wise know-it-alls. However, we did come off of our hi-horse long enough to enjoy a class party, and to participate in various school activities. Thus we progressed— After that long year of seriousness, we, as Jolly Juniors, decided to let down our hair and have a high ole time. The class was proud to have many of their fellow students participating in dramatics, athletics, debate, and to have a few taken into the National Honor Society. Peter Trezlse, our president, started an earnest class campaign to raise funds for our Junior Prom, which was the biggest and best event of the entire year. The Junior Class of 1938 can well be remembered for the good times it offered We strove onward----- At last, our goal reached, we became the mighty sophisticated Seniors. Reminiscing, we find that our class has a historical background such as no others have ever had, one to be proud of. Always on the alert, the Class of 1939 brought the age-old Echo to life again. Under the leadership of Bill Desonla we have enjoyed a Senior Class party, and various other Senior activities. We have also had many Seniors taking part in athletics, debate, and other school functions. As this is written, we eagerly look forward to the Senior Class Play, the Junior Prom, the Class Picnic, Senior Day, and last, Commencement. Though our memorable school days draw to an end, we must keep on progressing toward a high goal, a goal of success and happiness in the world outside. —The Senior Class of 1939 I • •• - J I t 9 I iif I f i. « • r • r 9 . • •: V fl •1 • r I 4 • CLASS PROPHECY Good evening, Ladles and Gentlemen.

Ranta's Hamburger House, are being served Just look at everyone rush to the tablesl It's the same old class—they haven t changed in that respect, at leastl Gathered around the festive board are the nation s most celebrated people. Who's that at the end of the table? Well, well— It'8 Wilbert Wedenoja, who now holds the world record for the 100-yard dash. Wonder If he still likes colored maps—and blondes? Sitting next to him is Marie Castle, who plays in Morris Lepisto's New York Symphony Orchestra. And over near the center I see Audrey Hissey, famous Swiss Yodeler, who sings over WJMS. Nona Benson is with her—Nona has Just signed a 5-year contract with MGM. Here comes Frances Galinatz, with her press-agent, Joe Mazurek. Frances Is starred in No Blondes Allowed,11 Look over there—is that Richard Nelson, by any chance? The soft life seems to agree with him. He's now a gigolo That's Harry Golembeski talking to the beautiful brunette at the next table The once famous basketball star Is now coach at Minnesota University. And the brunette is Helen Blazkowski, head of the Altar Society of St. Mary's. Over in a corner I see Jack Strough, photographer of great renown, who published SHOTS , the most widely-circulated photography magazine in the world. You've heard of the Shot seen round the world. That wonderful speclman of manhood is Sugar Nelson, manager of a gymnasium whose motto is, Grunt your way to Health and Happiness. He takes his work seriously; he and Irma still walk daily around the lake. There's Gena Radowski, ballet dancer. She's always up on her toes. I believe that's Reuben Maki with her—he's proprietor of Ye Mackie Beautie Shoppe. Over there in a green dress is Gertrude Neznanski, who runs a doughnut shop. She finds the holes to be very profitable to sell. Who's that giggling over there? Oh, yes, that's Marie Liubakka, nurse at Last View. She specializes in accident cases, such as people falling over cliffs----Next to her is Butter Lane, who's still taking it easy. Good gracious! There are two men in white ties and tails; they don't seem to remember what Wakefield Is like! Yes, it's Casimer and Basil Kuiawa, Wall Street financiers. And the young woman with them is Stella Radowski, Basil1s private secretary. At the other end of the room is Arthur Martinson, who writes an Advice to the Lovelorn column. He isn’t quite as bashful as he used to be. Hmm---I don’t seem to remember the young lady near him—oh, surely. It’s Kathryn Renan. Look at the beautiful Paris gown she’s wearing, I was told that she’s to leave soon on a tour of Europe and Ireland. There’s Bea Miljevich—she teaches in a famous dancing school in the East,' And there’s the town cut-ap, Harry Lepinski Hello, Violet. It’s Violet Gorski, Miss America of 1942, She’s planning an excursion to the Indian Ocean to search for hidden treasure. Surely that isn’t Carmen Green? I thought he was going to be a hermit? What’s that? He says he just couldn’t stay away from the reunion,, There’s Chinky Stevenson, who draws that brilliant comic strip, Jack the Rabbit , And Loretta Gremore—she’s been working too hard, I’m afraid, Loretta’s been raising Silver Dollar plants. I’ll bet she wishes they were the real McCoy I Hi there, Ewyl It’s Evelyn Good enow, folks. She’s trying to teach Dogwood not to bark, but she’s getting rather disgusted. She says it’s harder than trying to get Douglas Weide'to stop running around in circles, which incidentally, he’s still doing. He must be pretty dizzy by'this time! Over in the other corner I see Gene Pollard, who’s still raising his famous Thom-aston Tulips, And here’s our old pal, Jean Draver, What are you doing now, Jean? Not bad—she’s a nurse at the Camp Gogebic Hospital. At any rate, she’ll never get lonesome there. And there are Alice Marleau and Tennys Brozzo, both of whom sell Slimmo, the famous reducer, Helen Churitch and Bill Desonia are sitting under that light—I’ve heard that they’re waiting for Helen to get a job so they can be married. Lorraine Linn just arrived in a red truck. Hello Lorraine. . , Clyde Lepisto is talking to someone over there--he’s going to collect from the government for his injuries in the War of 1941. He s got a couple of silver medals and a silver plate on his skull. There’s one consolation, Clyde—you’ll never be broke. Who just came in? It’s George Miheve, the Man of the Hour in Hollywood, And Bob Gribble, the famous opera star. I don’t see Margaret Bolen anywhere. That must be she sitting with Marie, She’s a bachelor girl—after Mike left, she just didn’t care for men. Smart girl’. Who’s under the' beard? It’s Godfrey Agriesti, and he’s not in disguise. He’s on the House of David Basketball team. Remember the no shaving till after the prom gag he pulled when a Junior? Betty Anderson over there with Charles Jr, is the subject of the picture of the year in the Rogues Gallery. Mabel Bullen, beside her, heads a Correspondence Bureau for Lonely Suckers. Louis Obradovich, successor to Paul Muni, is Hollywood’s leading character actor. • V t ♦ f • | % . • • s . t .
