MAROON AND BLACK Ellendale High School History N the year 1918, seventeen meek little Freshies marched into the Assembly Room and took their places in the first row, under the half-pitying glances of their superiors. This was not the least of their troubles as the Seniors soon gave them a right to their seats by inflicting many indignaties upon them at their annual party. We took our turn later on but were more gentle with our guests. By the end of the year we had outgrown our greeness and were worthy of becoming Sophomores. This year, we too looked down on the Freshies as if we had never undergone a similar experience. We admit we quite lived up to the Sophomores’ rule of “snobbishness.” We gave a party again that year but it was not as successful as our former one. We do not know the reason for this unless it was just “Beginner’s Luck.” The Sophomore girls were quite instrumental in helping with the Junior-Senior banquet and the present Sophomores will do well to be as accomodating. We are now in our Junior year and are keenly anticipating our Senior year, much to the present Senior’s regret. Our class rings are quite as pretty as theirs, only they will not admit it. The two upper classes are quite pugnatiously inclined, taking advan- tage of the free press, using the newspapers as their weapon of warfare. So far the Juniors have won all of the battles. We are eighteen strong and we hope our number will not have decreased when we receive our Senior Diplomas a year from now. of the Junior Qlass Page Twenty-Seven 1921 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017

EUendale High School MAROON AND BLACK Elizabeth Miller Of bright, golden red are Miss Beth’s curly locks, And we’ve heard that the boys hang around her in flocks. But nevertheless We are forced to confess That when she is wound up she talks. Florence Saunders There was a young lady named Flossy, Whose curls are so brown and so glossy When she cuts up in class This bright winsome lass. She “gets the goat’’ of Miss Fosie. Ruth Schulstad Ruth is the girl with the puffs With her smile, thru all classes, she bluffs, She hates noses shiny But quite adores Tiny And thinks co-ed vamps are all toughs. Ralph Shannon Ralph is a son of the Emerald Isle. Which is readily seen by a perpetual smile. He’ll arg ' ue all day. Not to have his way, But to keep from the lesson awhile. Henrietta Thompson Henrietta’s the girl who is fair, fat and funny She’d be worth a million if sweet smiles were money, She wins every heart, Not because she is smart, But because her smile is so sunny. Donald Wentzel We will now introduce you to Don, Who is known for the smile he has on. Each day does he feast On water and yeast, So he’ll always have something to rise on.
