Anonymous	8/7/2008 1:20:03 PM	"THE GEORGE GIPP ALL-AMERICAN TROPHY "Awarded annually to the graduating senior of Calumet High School to encourage a high standard of excellence in scholarship, athletics and sportsmanship" My father, Elwood Lohela, (CHS) was the first George Gipp All-American Trophy winner in 1934. His younger brother, my uncle, Arvo Lohela (CHS) was the fourth winner (1937) of the award. Their names are inscribed on the plaque in the park. Elwood's grandchildren have all seen the park and plaque where their grandfather's name is inscribed. They have learned through their parents of Elwood's love for the Copper Country and his Finnish heritage. Elwood unfortunately never saw his grandchildren (5). He passed away at age 51 in 1968. Thank you to those who keep the park looking so nice. It is a place we visit whenever we make it back to the area and the "camp" on Portage Lake.

Title:	Trophies - George Gipp
Photographer:	Unknown
Date:	1958
Description:	[Engraved trophy states: "The George Gipp All-Amerian Trophy - Famed fields that echoed hostile shouts left him undaunted, he had heard Superior's voice rise higher than the storm. Grim foemen answering thrust with thrust inspired him onward, he had seen imprisoned treasure wrested from the rock. Cold weariness clutching at the heart found him prepared, in his home land, green banners mock the north wind's icy blast. Swift flowing time that humbles men can not touch deeds, the record stands to tempt brave feet to climb the lonely heights." See comments section for rest of inscription.]
