EL S. at Ellendale, North Dakota. At this time E. EL S. is joining a coast to coast network of high school stations, over which the class histories of many classes will be broadcast. The first history will be that of the brilliant and illustrious all-star graduating class of 1929. In the year of 1925, twenty-five non-quaking, confident Freshies entered the south row, that is, the Freshie row, in the assembly room of E. EL S. Their confidence was soon shaken, however, and they found that their outstanding brilliancy was apparently unnoticed, especially by the Seniors. Although much was done in the way of fearful drawings and other intimidations on the part of the Seniors, in regard to the terrors of initiation, the Freshies survived it all exceedingly well and were made to feel that they were at last a part of High School. Then the class was organized. The officers chosen were: President, Milton Smith; Vice-President, Nan Wheelihan; Secretary and Treasurer, Marie Furan; Class Adviser, Mr. Christie. The class colors chosen for the year were green and white. After initiation, the next social event was the enjoyable Halloween costume party given by the Sophs. The Freshies showed their pep and skill by returning this party with a snappy Valentine party, which proved to be one of the most successful affairs given for a long time and put the Freshies on the social map. Milton Smith, one of the liveliest of the Freshies, made the basket-ball team, and Nan Wheelihan brought some distinction to the class by winning the inter-class de- clamation contest. For our class picnic we went to a gulch in the hills. There in the wilds we ate our dill pickles and ice-cream, while hill climbing and sliding down again, both intentionally and accidentally, helped develop agility. Some of the class trained for broad jump by leaping over the creek, and those who failed to accomplish the jump thought tank training was really more beneficial anyway. The fall of 1926 found a peppy crowd of Sophomores chuck full of spirit, champing at the bit, eager to start on an active year and grab all the honors within reach. Milton Smith was again chosen president; Bernice Saunders, vice-president; and Marie Furan, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Christie, the jolly and efficient coach, had proved so successful in bringing up the Freshies and was so well liked, that he was again chosen class adviser. The class decided upon blue and silver as the colors for the following years. The Sophs gave the Freshmen a Halloween party of welcome, a colorful and highly successful costume party, which was returned later by a Valentine party. We were proud to have one of our class, Bill Smith, playing quarterback on the football team. The Sophs were defeated in the inter-class basketball contest, but their dauntless spirit regarded the defeat as a victory in character development. One of the feature activities of the year was the Fun Fest, a miniature carnival, and the Sophs were active in making it a success. On the program was a one act play, “The Man From Brandon.” Bill Smith, Erroll Lilleboe, Marie Furan, and Bernice Saunders were included in the cast. Nan Wheelihan, the Sophs’ representative, in the inter-class declamation, again won that event; and the Sophs felt gratified indeed when Nan, representing Ellendale High School, won the gold medal at the Inter-Scholastic contest sponsored by the N. I. — 11 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Probably we were living up to the universal reputation of sophisticated Sophomores when we chose the more metropolitan Wylie Park at Aberdeen as the place for our class picnic. There was not the usual display of enthusiasm that characterized the Freshman picnic, but, as I said, that may have been due to the sophistication. In 1927 the Sophomores became very grown-up Juniors with much pull, push, and ambition. Class officers were Marie Furan, president; Magda Hermansen, vice- president; and Dorothy Russell, secretary and treasurer. Miss Onsrud, the principal, became our adviser. The class was well represented in athletics, having many third year men on the football eleven, the track team, and the first and second year basketball teams. One of the class, Nan Wheelihan, helped to represent the high school at the annual joint program with N. I. during Education Week. The first great event of the season was the Junior Class play, “Rose of the South- land”, given on two nights, March twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh. The play was well received, and the Junior starlets shone with brilliant promises for the Senior venture. A member of the Junior class represented the high school in the District Declamation contest and sneaked home with the bacon, sliced and prepared, and later brought home honor from the state contest by coming away with second place. Louella Elliott was the winner of the Lincoln Medal in the Lincoln Medal Essay Contest. Then came the Junior-Senior Banquet, the major event of the season. This event was one that enabled the class to show its ingenuity, originality, cooperation, and tact; to exercise its powers of per- suasion and bribery; and to display its ability as financial wizards, magicians, to stretch the funds over a multitude of novel ideas. The class seized upon the idea of giving a prom afterwards and even succeeded in hauling in an orchestra. The gym was beautifully and elaborately decorated to represent a flower garden. Paper hats, balloons, confetti, and serpentine added a colorful carnivalistic note. The Juniors picnicked at Melgard’s Park and all over Aberdeen, findi ng time to swim in the chilly waters at Lake Wylie and to visit the movie theaters, and to return to Melgard’s for supper. At last the Juniors became the traditional dignified Seniors, and they were a bunch of lively go- getters. Whoopee! The seats on the north side of the assembly, in fact the whole assembly, was theirs. The officers chosen were: President, Nan Wheelihan (whose place was filled by Eldon Jury when the annual was begun); vice-president, Richard Tiegs; Secretary and treasurer, Cravella Jenkins. Mr. Ingvalson was given the task of adviser. The first dimming of Senior joys was the news that the Freshies could be treated to no initiation party. However, the lower classmen were by no means immune to a few attacks on the part of the Seniors. During Education Week the high school participated in the joint program with N. I. Harry Heine represented the Senior cla ss. Stella, the Seniors’ songster, was a representative from High School in the Atwater Kent Radio Contest. Beginning early and increasing in strength was the spirit of an annual. Sponsored by the Seniors, the dream became more powerful and at last became a reality. The staff was chosen and work was begun. It was not easy work, and there were many difficulties to be overcome. “The Microphone” was chosen to be the name. In Ferbuary our time was fully occupied in preparing for a Spizzerinktum Carnival, which we planned to make the biggest event of its kind that we had ever undertaken. Under the direction of Mr. Christie and Milton Smith, the general manager, everyone worked long and hard, and our efforts were crowned with success. The gate receipts exceeded even our wildest expectations, and we were made doubly happy when the Senior candidate, Cravella Jenkins, was chosen queen. Next came the Senior play, “Adam and Eva,” which was a colossal success. Whatever promises the Junior play of the previous year made were totally eclipsed by the brilliancy of the production. Some of the outside of school activities that members of the Senior class helped to make successful were the musical comedies, “Betty Lou” and “Aunt Lucia.” Another honor came to the class when it succeeded in opening a chapter of the National Honor Society in High School. Four of the mighty were elected to membership: Nan Wheelihan, Cravella Jenkins, Marie Furan, and Harry Heine. The High school was represented at the District Music and Declamation Contest by two Seniors. Stella Bergstreser copped first place in soprano solo, and Nan Wheelihan second in declamation. These girls will represent Ellendale at the State Contest at the University in May. This is the history of the class of 1929 up to April 23rd, when it must go to press. Thus far the undertakings of the class of 1929 have been successful as those of a progressive class are sure to be. It is now April 23rd, and the Announcer M. S. F. is signing off at station E. H. S., at Ellendale, North Dakota. — 12 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Keep Up The Spirit Keep up the spirit that you have developed During your high school life, For Enthusiasm is the vital spark that Lights the enterprise and points the way To success.

The bleak, rainy weather in no way dampened our spirits; we seethed with pep. One week after our work had begun, Melv in Griffin joined our class, giving us a total of thirty- six members. We organized our class early and elected the following officers: Melvin Griffin, president; Jennie Graham, vice-president; and Marian Lewis, secretary- treasurer. We were too ambitious and our number was too great to take much “snobbishness” from our superiors; but, nevertheless, when the old tradition of Freshie initiation re- asserted itself, we received all the pent-up grudges of the Seniors. Then we settled down to study, but we were soon interrupted by a Sophomore party, which we through- ly enjoyed. Not to be outdone in hospitality, we reciprocated with a Valentine party on the twelfth of February. The first year we distinguished ourselves in neither literary nor athletic activities, but applied ourselves to work. When we returned to school the next fall, we found that five new members had joined our class to take the places of those who had left us. They were Hazel Martin, Panzy Gallagher, Ruth and Edna Layer, and Kenneth Johnson. We were still the largest class in High School and were proud of it. Again we exercised our gift for organization and elected officers: Jennie Graham, president; Russell Wenkstern, vice-president; and Frances Carpenter, secretary and treasurer. After weeks of planning and preparing, we gave a Hard Time party. Everyone came in “hard-time” dress. Myron Jury and Edna Layer received prizes for the best costumes. All voted the party a great success. During the Sophomore year, the boys were initiated into athletics. Walter Schmier- er and Myron Jury began to do good work in football, and Walter promised to become outstanding in basketball and track. Jennie Graham and Marguerite Jorgensen were members of the Cardinal staff. Monica Wentzel and Russell Wenkstern represented the class in the Local Declamation contest. We are now upper classmen and are dutifully living up to our name of Juniors. Five new members have joined our class this year: Lola Crandell, Roscoe Ladd, Clifford Skoglund, Ella Hansen, and Bernice Dickinson. The following are class officers: Harry Witte, president; Jennie Graham, vice-president; Florence Pederson, secretary-treasurer. This year has been a busy one in class work and extra-curricular activities. Edna Layer is editor of the High School department in the “Dickey County Leader.” She also represented the high school in the joint program with the N. I. during Education Week. This year both boys and girls have done fine work in athletics. Walter Schmierer, captain and full back, Myron Jury, guard and quarterback, and Harry Witte, quarterback, have done outstanding work in football. Walter has also distinguished himself in basketball and track. The Junior Girls’ Basketball team, consisting of Wilma Stearns, captain, Catharine Barta, Jennie Graham, Hazel Martin, Frances Carpenter, and Florence Pederson, won the inter-class contest, defeating the Sophomores and Seniors. Edna Layer represented the High School in the Constitution Oratatorical contest at Valiev City. Russell Wenkstern played a successful role in the Senior play. Lola Crandell won the Inter-class De- clamation contest and will represent Ellendale at the N. I. contest in May. Marguerite Jorgensen, Edna Layer, and Jennie Graham are members of the Microphone staff. Our first great undertaking was the class play, “ Cyclone Sally.” The opinion of many is that it was the best Junior play ever presented. Now we have begun preparations for the annual Junior and Senior Banquet, which is to be given soon. Next year, we, the class of ’30, will attempt to finish our High School career in a creditable manner. — 24 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 A First row: Second row: Third row: Fourth row: Eugene Chute, Thelma Collett, Joyce Shepard, Bertha Schaller, Leverne Gayman, Marjorie Strand, William England, Irene Sprouse, Fern Gayman, Gordon Graham, Helen Maercklein, James Beggs.

THE SOPHOMORE RECORD We, the class of ’31, entered Ellendale High School forty-two strong. Miss Doris Sweet was chosen and served as our most amiable guardian. Next came the election of officers. William Combellick was chosen president; Gordon Graham, vice-president; and Helen Maercklein, secretary-treasurer. Of course it was quite essential that we be initiated by the mighty Seniors. We found the process of initiation to be very serious and cover a period of over a week. On the twenty-third of March the Freshmen and Sophomores staged a joint Hard Time party, which was very successful. The year was not without scholastic merit. Elcera Lewis won first place in the Declamation contest and had her name inscribed on the cup. The members of our class also played the leading roles in the play, “Aunt Matilda ' s Birthday,” sponsored by the Camp Fire Girls and directed by Miss Sweet and Miss Smith. Joyce Shepard, Marie Kirschner, Florence Hermansen, and Leona Minton were Freshmen members of the cast. Our first year ended with a picnic in the beautiful hills west of town. We began this year with forty-five members. Of this number there were only eight who began school together in the first grade: Marie Kirschner, Joyce Shepard, William Combellick, Helen Maerck- lein, Marian Brown, Gordon Graham, and James Beggs. This year Helen Maercklein was elected presi- dent; Edward Pehl, vice-president; and Leona Minton, secretary-treasurer. A Halloween party that was termed a “knockout” by every class member present was our social feat. This year, toe, Wayne Hill, Donovan Lewis, and Andrew Hull have done excellent work in track. We ' ve enjoyed our two years of high school life, and we are glad that there are two years more remaining. — 25 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 1929 El lendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 1929 E I lendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Marjorie T.

Mrs. A. C. Strand and Mrs. Aimee Blatchford were the teachers. In November Mrs. Blatchford resigned, and her place was taken by Mrs. Spencer Graham. We re just beginning, but we are full of pep, ideas, and ambitions just the same. As the year has passed, we too have progressed and have become more accustomed to Junior High Life. The first event of importance in the year was “Gypsy Day”, which was held the first warm Friday in Indian summer. Dressed in gypsy costumes, we paraded down main street, where the crowning of the “Gypsy Queen,” Jessie McCulloch, was performed with due ceremony. During the year the Junior High has enjoyed several parties. The first one was the Christmas party given by the ninth year class. The eighth year class returned the party on Valentine’s Day in the form of an apron and overall party. A sleigh ride party was also given, which furnished much fun for everyone. We are proud to have an active, worthy organization, the Young Citizen’s League, in Junior High. The following officers were elected : president, George Dawes ; vice-president, Audrey Sorensen ; secretary, Eloise Hafner; and corresponding secretary, Joyce Holte. Other presidents and acting presidents have been: Audrey Sorensen, Jean Crabtree, and Joyce Holte. We are sending four delegates to the Y. C. L. county convention. They are: Marion Hubbard, Clifford DuRand, Thelma Crandell, and Joyce Holte. Francis Ackert is to give the address of welcome to the South Dakota league visitors. Three interesting talks have been given at the Y. C. L. meetings this year, one by a Cival War Veteran, another by a former commander of the legion post, and the third by a citizen who had attended the inauguration of President Hoover. As a closing excursion for the year, the league is going to “White Stone Battlefield” to study the history of the spot and do honor to the soldiers buried there. The women’s clubs of Ellendale presented us with the picture, Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.” We have appreciated the picture very much and know that students in the years to come will also enjoy it. This history of our Junior High, which is probably not interesting to others, means a great deal to us, and we are sure this first year in Junior High will always stand out as an important one in our lives. — 27 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row: Ralph Magoon, Walter Stucker, Francis Ackert, Walter Buetow, Elmer Witte, Irwin Layer, Lowell Workman.

Thirteen of us started in the first grade together. John Shannon left for a while after the fifth grade, returning to us this year. Others who faced Miss Tousley on that eventful morning when our mothers left us at the door, were: Evelyn Griffin, Marion Hubbard, Howard Townsend, Clarence DuRand, Arnold Ojala, Francis Ackert, Irwin Layer, Caroline Newman, Olin Minton, William Elliott, Wilina Davis, Francis Batchelor. During that first year Marion was the most popular girl, receiving more valentines than any one else. We remember Clarence’s scrap book, which was the envy of us all, and Buddy’s perfect recitation whenever he took a mind to give one. We seemed from the first to have been a group which attracted much attention. And we found in our Freshman year this has been very true. The initiation, planned for us by the Seniors, lasted over a week and was most celebrated. It ended with a welcoming program in the Senior High Assembly in place of the party we had expected. Between these first and last years are six, filled with many memories, happy and otherwise Pictures of Howard Townsend writing sentences almost every night after school, of many of us chewing foamy soap for Miss Pylman in the fourth and seventh grades, or of standing in the corner for Mrs. Pericle in the sixth still remain in our minds. Surely, such a lively, superior group of young folks can not be kept down. We shall try to carry on our good work through the remaining years of high school, and endeavor, before we graduate, to make E. H. S. proud of its class of 1932. 28 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row: George Dawes, Joyce Holte, Roberta Lindebak, Margaret Trosin, May Wallace, Albert Dietz.

The history of the eighth year class began when eleven of our number entered school together under the direction of Miss Tousley. These eleven early showed so much energy in their work and play that May had to be tied to her seat and Margaret and Ruth Gibson confined to the clcset. William wept the first day, apparently sens ing the years of confinement ahead of him. We like to remember the birthday cakes furnished by Miss Dale in the third grade, the coming of George and Helen Dawes in the fourth year, and of Eva in the fifth. In the sixth grade we won the spelling match against the seventh, when Helen Dawes spelled “organize after the seventh grade con- testant had failed. This, our first year in Junior High, has been a very interesting one. We have had many good times. Our grade gave the ninth year an overall and apron party, and the eighth and ninth years had a sleigh ride party. A sewing club was organized this year. The officers are; president, Jean Crabtree; secretary, Dorothy Heimke; treasurer, Ruth Gibson. Our class officers for this year are: president, Helen Dawes; secretary, Russell McCoy; and treasurer, George Dawes. We have enjoyed our Y. C. L. very much, and we are proud that the first president and secretary were chosen from the Eighth year. Since we have in our class good athletes, prominent Boy Scouts, and several A students, we hope to bring some little honor to ourselves and our school in the coming years. Our class colors are silver and blue; and we hope to graduate as the class of nineteen thirty-three, retaining all of our present member- ship. — 29- 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 turpi 1 — 30- 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 ■ 1929 El lendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Nan Wheelihan Edna Layer Harry Heine Marie Fur an Marguerite Jorgensen Cravella Jenkins Keystone Society The purpose of the Keystone society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the students of Ellendale High School. Membership is based on scholarship, leadership, character, and service within the school. Candi- dates for election must stand in the first third of their respective classes in scholarship. Not more than fifteen percent of any 12 A class shall be elected to membership and not more than five percent of any 1 1A class. All members are life members, and the Honor Society is the link which connects them with their high school. The local chapter was opened through the efforts of the class of 1929. As it was opened late , there will be little time left for an active program during this school year, but the chapter, with Miss Onsrud as adviser, will endeavor to increase the number of students seeking to meet the requirements for member- ship. It is the wish of the charter members that those members of Junior and Senior classes who deserve credit and honor will be admitted to this society, and that it will be the aim of each student to make him- self or herself eligible. — 31 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Microphone Board Magda Hermansen Harry Heine Assistant Business Mgr. Business Mgr. Nan Wheelihan Editor -in- Chief Marie Fur an A ssociate Editor Annual History From the Sidelines There are many circulations of the sap before there is the least sign of even a bud, not to speak of the flower and the fruit. Likewise there is much thought of an annual, much dreaming about an annual, and much talk about one before it becomes an accomplished fact. Members of the class of ' 29 began to dream about one back in the fifth grade. As years sped on, the dreams became more vivid and persistent until last spring they became translated into earnest talk about a year book. With the opening of school last fall, the talk increased in volume and determination (Nan was especially eloquent) until a meeting of the Senior class was called in November formally to discuss the matter. The cautious faculty weakened and gave way under the convincing arguments and enthusiasm of the Seniors. If the Senior class could raise $300.00 in advertising, the faculty would approve the project. It was a big challenge, but nothing daunted, three of the most sanguine and most intrepid, Nan, Magda, and Harry, sallied forth on a cold and rainy afternoon — November 14th, to be exact — and practiced the art of masculine and feminine salesmanship so successfully that they returned with a whole-hearted community support. On November 16th, Harry and Magda invaded Aberdeen. So successful were the two that before another week had passed, they had secured $400.00. The election of a staff followed immediately and work was begun. When personages, each with decided views of his own, set out to do a piece of work together, there is bound to be a difference of opinion. The staff room was the scene of many a clash of vigorous wills in consequence; but everyone compromised for the good of the group and gave his very best effort. The enthusiasm of the staff, and especially of the editor-in-chief and the business management, affected the entire student body, for Senior High and faculty pledged their support almost one-hundred percent during a single subscription campaign. The Junior High also did their fair share. The result will be a sale of 225 copies of the book. Most of the organizations have paid for their own cuts. The Carnival executives contributed $55.00, and the Senior play added $100.00 to the fund. So well have the business managers done their work that it is their ambition to leave a balance in the treasury. We, the students and faculty of Elle ' pdale High School, take this opportunity to thank the staff for their hard work and the many sacrifices they have made to give us this fine book. 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 ylsSocJrcEdi tor itor aitor 3lutit ’Editor Sport Editor icropho ze Staff 3£wmor Editor 3rd ft.

The Delphians The Delphian Literary Society was instituted in Ellendale High School in 1918 and began its first year of work under the supervision of Miss Mary B. Smith. The first activities of the society were purely literary. However, in the course of time the term “literary work” took on a broader meaning, and debates, plays, drills, and humorous selections were given a place in the programs. The Delphians have never ceased to be active, and last September an enthusiastic group of students met for organization. Cravella Jenkins was elected president; Jennie Graham, vice-president; Catharine Barta, secretary and treasurer. Miss Onsrud was elected as adviser of the society. Frances Carpenter, Catharine Barta, Jennie Graham, and Marguerite Jorgensen were appointed to serve on the program committee. The Delphian Society presented the first literary program of the year. The theme was gypsy life- An imitation forest, in which were camped a band of gypsies, made the portrayal of gypsy life very realistic. The folk lore, the gypsy songs, and the tales of fortune tellers were as educational as they were entertaining. To make complete the atmosphere of gypsy camplife a delicious aroma of fried onions was wafted from the kettle over the camp fire. The second program, which centered about Negro life and customs, was given February 14th. By speeches, dialogues, and songs the entertainers succeeded in effectively depicting negro life to us. The value of the Delphian Society is unquestionable. Besides having given educational programs it has given each of its members an opportunity to exercise and develop initiative and his dramatic and literary abilities. — 34 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row: Marjorie Strand, Ada Waddell, Wayne Hill, Eugene Chute, Erroll Lilleboe, William England, Eldon Jury, Rcscoe Ladd, Robert Waddell, Clifford Scogland, Harry Witte.

The Athenians The Athenian Literary Society was organized in 1918. Miss Vera Haven was the first adviser and was active in establishing the merit of the society so there would be ample profit gained to justify con- tinuing its activities during future years. The aim of the Athenian Society is to discover and develop the latent abilities of its members in dramatics, public speaking, and all literary work. The society also endeavors to provide wholesome entertainments. While the Athenians extended their activities they also increased in members until they now have a membership which exceeds that of any other organization in High School. A very eager and ambitious group of students assembled soon after the opening of school to reorganize and to plan their activity for the school term. Harry Hein e was elected president; Milton Smith, vice-president; Myron Jury, secretary and treasurer. Miss Sweet was elected adviser. A program committee, consisting of Nan Wheelihan, chairman, Marie Furan, Magda Hermansen, and the three officers of the society, was elected to plan the work. During the past two years, program themes have been the life, costume, music, and art of various European countries. This year humor served as the interesting and highly entertaining theme. The programs were planned to entertain ; in addition to their literary merit they were to present the humorous sides of literature and everyday life that we might develop an appreciation of the wholesome types of humor. The subject of the first program was humor in literature. The theme of the second was to have been the progress of education during the last decade, using a rural school program of twenty years ago to illustrate the advancement. — 35 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Top row: Catharine Barta, Edna Heine, Florence Whelan, Helen Brown, Hazel Martin, Helen Maercklein, Marian Lewis, Martha Gerling, Vivian Graham, Frances Carpenter, Ella Hansen, Ethele Stucker, Miss Cal lan.

The Girls’ Glee Club ‘ ‘ T he Chorus is the greatest vehicle of musical expression , because it is an orchestra of human instruments Our Purpose: To be an honorable organization carrying on an honorable work in a most honorable way. Our Membership: The club composed of twenty-two girls is a selected group who have qualified for membership by having passed an individual test in voice which declares their eligibility. Our Work: To participate in the musical activities of the school and of the community. We serve, and it is with pride we say that we have never failed to appear when asked to do so. The High School Glee Club combined with the N. I. Glee Club in presenting a Christmas Cantata, “The Wondrous Story,” by Kountz, at Carnegie Hall. Another joint concert is to be given during Music Week of this year. Our Desire: To make others as happy with our song as we have made ourselves.

The Band Four years ago twenty-five high school and upper grade boys under the direction of Mr. Briley organized a high school band. The veterans of this organization were: Roy Pierce, George Haas, Everett Griffin, Elliot Thomas, Donovan Lewis, Paul Wilmart, Donald Wallis, Harold Meachen, Francis Ackert, Erie Robertson, Ted Griffin, Charles Haas, Alonzo Griffin, Eugene Fisk, Lowell Pylman, Rudolph Trosin, Carl Dildine, Leo Konapatzke, Howard Lawler, Howard Ackert, Mark Wenkstern, Donald Lawrence, Frank White, Milton Smith, Kermit Wenkstern, and Albert Kirschner. The band progressed each year, adding new members and losing a few through graduation. In 1926 the band gained its first girl members, Frances Carpenter, Zachary Taylor, Marion Hubbard, and Catharine Barta. Since it has been organized, the band has made numerous public appearances at P. T. A. programs and commencement exercises. In 1926 the band played before the Southeastern Division of the N. D. E. A. convention at Ellendale. In 1927 Raymond Day represented the High School in the All State High School Band at Bismarck. Much credit for the present active and ambitious organization is due to the successful conductorship of Mr. Briley. The High School Band has given many students of Ellendale High School musical training and has furnished much good material for the Municipal Band. — 37 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row: Mr. Ingvalson, Erroll Lilleboe, Ronald Carr, William England, Harry Heine, Eldon Jury, Mr. Christie.

The Hi-Y Club Last December, upon the invitation of the South Dakota Y. M. C. A., Ellendale High School was represented at an Older Boys ' Conference, held at Aberde en. The purpose of this convention was to get together and talk over some of the problems facing young men. When our delegates returned, they made their reports and told what had been done at the convention. At the same time these delegates expressed a desire that we might have an organization where the boys could get together and discuss problems of special interest to boys. A Hi-Y Club was suggested. A committee was then appointed to see if we should have such a club in High School. The committee voted unanimously in favor of the plan. A call was issued to all Senior High School students to become members. Twenty boys responded. A com- mittee on constitution and by-laws was then appointed. When the constitution had been made and accepted, officers were elected. Milton Smith became our president ; Eldon Jury, our vice-president ; Harry Witte, our secretary ; and Ronald Carr, our treasurer. Mr. Christie and Mr. Ingvalson have served as our advisory members. As far as possible two meetings have been held each month. “School Friendships and “Petty Gambling are typical problems that have been discussed. When able speakers come to Ellendale, we try to have them address our Club. We will also call upon local business and professional men to talk to us upon topics in which they are especially well informed. We feel that our purpose, as expressed in our constitution, “to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and to discourage intem- perate habits, has not been in vain. We have profited by the discussions that we have had. We shall do our best to live up to, and encourage others to live up to, the high standards set forth by our Club. — 38 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The Girl Reserves The history of the Girl Reserves in Ellendale High School dates back to the last semester of 1928 when the Junior and Senior Girls organized and elected the following officers: Helen Heimke, president ; Laura Schandelmeier, vice-president; and Vera Wallace, secretary-treasurer. The aims of the organization, as defined then, were to meet and discuss problems that are of special interest to girls. This year the organization includes all girls in Senior High School. That is one reason why our picture does not appear in the annual; every girl is a member as a matter of course. The following are officers for this year: Gladys Heimke, president ; Stella Bergstreser, vice-president ; and Louella Elliott, secretary-treasurer; adviser, Miss Onsrud. It was planned to meet every Tuesday at 4:15. This plan was carried out for some time until the pressure brought to bear by other activities became too great. But meetings have been held as often as possible, and have become informal fireside talks. Every girl is encouraged to state her opinion on any problem or present any problem for discussion that may be troubling her. At the first meeting the girls discussed the social aspects of conduct, the importance of social in- heritance, social responsibility, and the application of social principles. The next subject was good citizenship among girls. The qualities which work for good citizenship and the obligation of citizenship were discussed. Of course school citizenship was a subject that grew out of the talk on the general subject. The importance of studies and extra-curricular activities in school life and later life was an important question. Qualities which make a good school citizen were next considered. At a later meeting the group compared three daily programs, one too full, one not full enough of worth while things, and one that was just right. After a discussion of the programs, each girl was urged to make out a program of her own. She was given the following factors to guide her: Sleep ...8-9 hours Meals . :.... .. . % hours School — ...7 hours Recreation (preferably outdoors) 1-2 hours Help at home P . 2 hours Home study... ..2 hours Music practice (or some other art) . 1 hour Personal care.. hour The next general subject presented was that of the family. The discussion began with a considera- tion of the place of the family in civilization. What the family owes the child and what the child owes the family were important problems. At the next meeting friendship will be the topic, and later the girl and her boy friends will be dis- cussed. No project has been undertaken by the organization thus far, but meeting together informally to talk things over has been a great help. — 39 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 i First row : Carrie Nelson, Wilma Stearns, Louella Elliott, Zachary Taylor, Vivian Graham, Miss Johnson, Helen Brown.

Modern Janes On October 19th, 1928, twelve girls, possessed with an over supply of pep, were organized as the Modern Janes Society for another year of activity. Miss Alice Johnson was chosen as our faculty adviser. Our first public debut was made at an all High School Hard Time Party which was given in honor of the football boys. Some time after this most successful party, we were hostesses to the high school at a Kids’ Party, which was declared by all the kids to be “quite the number.” During the winter season we have entertained at several informal parties, hikes, and sleigh rides. Before the Oakes-Ellendale basketball game the Modern Janes gave a short novelty program before the assembly to arouse enthusiasm for the game by demonstrating ways to get to Oakes. This is the second year of the Modern Janes organization, and this enthusiastic society will no dcubt survive next year. The members of 1927 were Nona Wentzel, President; Laura Schandelmeier, Treasurer; Meriam McGinnis, Vera Wallace, Leona Johnson, Eva Wilson, and Vivian Graham. — 40 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row : Louella Elliott, Zachary Taylor, Hazel Martin, Bernice Dickinson, Marian Lewis, Jennie Graham, Marie Furan.

The Campfire organization, which is internationally known, has for its purpose the development of leadership and womanly qualities, and the providing of wholesome amusement for girls during their out-of-school hours. In attempting to carry out the purpose of this organization, the girls have filled the year with a variety of helpful activities. The activities this year opened with a peppy party given in the Masonic Hall, October 10th. Games and dancing constituted an evening of genuine fun. Soon after both Camp Fire groups took part in a P. T. A. program, after which pie and coffee were sold. The Camp Fire spent the time before the holidays filling Christmas boxes, which were sent to orphans or children’s Homes. The girls also took charge of the annual Christmas party for the High School. During the basketball season we accepted a challenge from the former Modern Janes and played a very exciting game, though the score ended in favor of the Janes. At the Carnival, the Camp Fire operated a most successful tea room, the “Dream Garden.” Numerous hikes and picnics and the annual camping trip every summer add to the joy of being a Camp Fire Girl. Five new girls were initiated this year, and our membership became nineteen. Two of our members, Cravella and Marie, have gained the rank of Fire Maker. Miss Myrtle Pylman and Mrs. Amphlett also have been our guardians. Miss Doris Sweet, our present guardian, has done much to make this year a successful one. With her winning way, her willingness, and her ability, she has guided the Camp Fire for the last two years. The Officers are: Marie Furan...

Everyone came in quaint, childhood attire and again adopted the manners which were so becoming to us all when we were very young. The gymnasium was very effectively decorated: countless toy ballons floated every where. Everyone received a gaily colored kiddie box filled with the goodies which never fail to delight youngsters. The Modern Janes, who gave this party, deserve much credit for their ability to plan so successful an entertainment. The Hardtime Football Party The Modern Janes sponsored a very entertaining Hard Time party. The football boys were guests of honor. Everyone came in a “Halleluiah, I’m a Bum” spirit. Hopelessly ragged hobos appeared, begging for a “hand out.” An interesting program arranged by the Modern Janes was followed by games and dancing. Nan Wheelihan was awarded first prize for her “Orphan Annie” costume. A beauty and popularity vote was taken. Evelyn Brown was voted the best looking girl, Elerbert Jury the best looking and most popular boy, and Jennie Graham the most popular girl. The Halloween Party pie was met by a ghost in the corridor, escorted up a shadowy stairway which led into a twilight cemetery, where white tombstones gleamed! — Repress your horror. Such was the fate of all who attended the Sophomore Halloween costume party, given October 27th. Black cats and witches were as numerous as the weird noises and creaking heard throughout the room. After many Halloween stunts and games, the grand march took place. Joyce Shepard and William Combellick were awarded first prizes for the best costumes. Guests from outside the class were Mr. and Mrs. Ingvalson, Mrs. Strand, Miss Onsrud, Mrs. Blatchford, and Miss Johnson. The Annual Christmas Party The annual Christmas party this year, under the direction of the Camp Fire Girls, was an unusually joyful event. A brick fireplace and a beautifully decorated tree, upon which fell a rosy glow of light through streamers of the season’s colors, furnished a very appropriate setting for this scene of holiday merrymaking. Interesting new games were played at the beginning of the evening. The remainder of the time was spent in dancing. Much amusement was afforded by the novel gifts which were dis- tributed by a modern Santa Claus. Miss Sweet and the Camp Fire Girls proved themselves delightful entertainers. — 42 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The Stage To train the voice and the body to interpret truly thoughts, feelings, and actions is an art that possesses great cultural value. This art requires a careful analysis of motives, of the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others; hence it is an important factor in the building of character. Declamation Because of a realization of the importance of declamation, the inter-class declama- tion contest was launched in our high school in the spring of 1924. That year a loving cup was presented to the school, on which each year the name of the winner of first place and his year in school were to be inscribed. The following have been winners of first place: Arthur Hafey, class of ’25; Grace Lilleboe, ’26; Nan Wheelihan, ’29; Elvera Lewis, ’31; and Lola Crandell, ’30.

Oratory Oratory in the Ellendale High School is in its very tender infancy. A beginning was made this year when we joined the Constutution Oratorical Contest and sent a representative to the district contest at Valley City. Edna Layer of the Junior Class represented the school. Next year we shall begin early and emphasize this phase of literary work. The High School-N. I. Programs Every year since 1922 we have participated in a joint program with the State Normal and Industrial College during Education Week. The High School thoroughly enjoys these programs. There is great pleasure in doing something pleasurable jointly with someone else. When the plan was first carried out, it was the custom to give two programs, one a forensic and the other talks on appropriate subjects by two members from each school. One day the High School were guests of the N. I. and on the other the N. I. were guests of the High School. As both schools have grown, only one program is now given at N. I. This program consists of talks and carries out a predetermined idea. We hope that it may be possible some time to reinstate the forensic. This year the following program was given on Tuesday, November 6th. Selections — “Massa Dear,” arranged from the New World Symphony ( Dvorak ) and “I Hear the Bees A-Humming” — ( . 5. Zamecnik ) — High School Girls ' Glee Club. “The Mayos” — Harry Heine, Senior High School. “Judge Florence E. Allen as a Factor in American Civic Life” — Charlotte Dale — N.

Hafer in the High School auditorium, and, as the name suggests, the play was a cyclone of mirth. The following all star cast, under the direction of Miss Onsrud, presented in a vivid and highly entertaining manner the story of the little spitfire and her deceptions. When Sally Graham is cut off in her step-father’s will, she grows cabbages to earn a living. Jack Webster objects strenuously to her cabbage patch’s bordering his front lawn. When he raises his objec- tion, Sally unleashes her temper upon him, and Jack is treated to a cyclone; but before the final scene, Sally has secured the original will, exposed the conspirators, and enslaved the now adoring Jack. The Cast Jack Webster Reggie Manners Jim Jenkins Willie Chump Roscoe Ladd .

Ticket sales were handled by Ada Waddell and Florence Whelan. — 45 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The Story of “Adam and Eva” The story centers about the home life of the King family, which is far from peaceful when bills are due at the first of the month. The extravagant family finally decide to send the irascible parent to South America that they might enjoy themselves, but father, knowing that his family are too irresponsible to be left alone with an allowance, installs his manager, Adam Smith, as head of the house. Besides being a practical business man, Smith is an idealist who entertains some very romantic ideas concerning ideal family life. He soon tires of the family’s folly and extravagance and decides they should learn a few things about the work-a-day world. He calmly announces that the family fortune is gone and suggests that they all go to work on a farm. The family, having no alternative, do go to work, and to their own surprise, actually enjoy it. Mr. King returns to discover the bee and chicken farm prospering, his family remade, his manager and daughter in love, and everyone happier than he had ever been before. The first two acts were in the luxurious King home on Long Island; an exterior scene on the chicken farm was the novel setting for the third act, which a cat, a musical canary, and real chickens made very realistic. Specialties “Too Many Green Apples“- Loue Elliott, Marie Furan, Edna Heine, Edna Mallon, Carrie Nelson, Stella Bergstreser, and Janet Keith. “All By Yourself in the Moonlight ” — Stella Bergstreser and Ronald Carr. Frances Carpenter, Accompanist. The specialties were under the direction of Miss Sweet and Miss Smith. Music was furnished by the N. I. — H. S. orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Jessie H. Dunphy. Committees Much credit for the successful production is due the efficient committees.

M., in the Ellendale Opra House. According to many, the play was one of the best ever given, in that the play, the cast, the stage settings, and the costuming were excellent. It was well received and an event of which Ellendale Hi may easily be proud. The proceeds will be used to help finance the “Microphone”. — 47 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The Spizzerinctum Carnival Fun, noise, laughter, pep, and Spizzerinctum characterized the Spizzerinctum Carnival, given February 22nd. ’ The doors opened at 7:30, and from that time until the closing hour, the building was thronged with visitors and was a scene of mirth and of good times such as only possessors of Spizzerinctum can have. At all times there was a fine carnivalistic spirit evident. Suitable outlets for surplus amounts of Spizzerinctum were provided in the forms of rattles, whistles, noisemakers and other instruments, shows, freaks, etc. far too numerous to mention. The Dutch Band, the members of which were obliging townsmen, furnished no small part of the entertainment. Their garb was unusual, and their facial adornment more so, and altogether they and the resounding blasts from their instruments contributed to the gayety of the scene. A very novel and interesting program was given on the second floor by lower classmen. The three performances were attended by large groups of interested people. The fortune tellers, the arcade, the picture galleries, the dream garden, the Kangaroo Court, the Wind Cave, and dance conducted in bowery style in the gym, and all the other marvelous attractions seen only at carnivals, were a constant source of fun. The Carnival Queen Contest was perhaps the most interesting event. For several days all classmen of Senior High industriously, frantically, and unceasingly sold votes for Florence Hermansen, Marian Lewis, and Cravella Jenkins, the class nominees for queen. At 10 o’clock the final count was taken. A few moments later Cravella Jenkins, the senior representative, with all the pomp and ceremony due a queen, advanced with her attendants and was crowned. The stage was beautifully and appropriately decorated with rambling roses as a back ground, and picturesque flower laden fences on either side of the throne, which were a perfect setting for the coronation of the Carnival Queen. Mr. Christie as adviser, and all the working committees did splendid work. The enthusiasm and support of the entire student body and of the townspeople made this pretentious undertaking a wonderful success. The profit was divided among the various organizations and activities of the school. — 48 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Carving tl)e Stone Usn’t it strange tl)at princes and Kings, Vnd clowns tl)at caper in saw-dust rings, Vn6 common folks like pou and me, Ava. builders for eternity?

We feel that the true purpose of this year book must be to give due honor to, and to reflect credit upon, the institution which has served us all in a memorable way — the institution which was born of great sacrifice and a desire to give all good things to those who first entered her portals and which has developed with the changing years so that she continues to offer those good things which are sought by the youth of this community today. It is with no spirit of boasting that we here call attention to the part alumni themselves have played in this development; it is rather with the hope that the record of their loyal service to the school may attest their deep love for her and the value to them of those four years spent within her walls. Almost one-third of the alumni of the Ellendale High School have found their field of life service here in Ellendale, and so have been able to repay directly the sacrifice made by this community in order to afford them a good high school education. Their support of the highest interests of the school through- out the years and their daily quiet service to the community is, without a doubt, the greatest tribute that could be paid to the Ellendale High School. Some of the alumni have gone into fields of state and national and world service, as educational and political leaders, as war-workers during the World War, as missionaries, and as servants in training for the government. A recent survey revealed also that the students of bygone years have kept in touch surprisingly well with the f fiends made in high school. Next to preparation for worthy community membership, the Ellendale High School can offer no finer opportunity than the chance to make associa- tions which are so founded in mutual cooperation and the sharing of worthwhile experiences that they are treasured through all the years that follow. Though some of our alumni have been scattered far and wide, the Alumni Association has as one of its chief functions the renewal of the ties of friendship. At the Alumni Banquet, held each year at commencement time, there is also the receiving of new graduates into the ranks and the fusing of old and new by the common “spirit of E. H. S.” So do we “keep the faith with our school and strive to keep in touch with that ever-developing spirit, and to preserve that feeling of unity which is one of the two greatest gifts we have received at her hands.

We do not over- emphasize their importance. We strive to put out athletic teams which play the game to the very best of their ability in a sportsmanlike way. We are not saying that we do not care to win; but winning “ Christie ” s not our ma n nor our outstanding ob- jective. We recognize the training for life received in athletic games, and are, therefore, more concerned with how our boys play the game on and off the field than we are with the final score. We believe in scholarship first. We expect no favor to be given athletics in the classroom. Several good athletes have been lost to our athletic team because they would not meet our standard of scholarship. We believe in cheering the boy or girl in declamation, debate, glee club, band, orchestra, dramatics, etc., as well as the one in football, basketball, or track. We believe in a thorough program of physical eduaction for our students. We hope that some day our facilities will permit a greater participation than at present. “ Carpy ” our Pianist.

Eleven men from the preceding season had either graduated or were not in school to take part in this football season. Coach Christie however rounded a team into shape to defend the laurels of Ellendale High School. After a somewhat weak beginning, the team began to function at top speed. By the end of the season, E. H. S. could well be proud of her Cardinal gridders. The first game of the season found the Cards pitted against the formidable team from Frederick. This team was almost a veteran team and much heavier than the locals. The result of this game was a decisive defeat for the Cards; the score being 10-0. The following week the Cards met the strong LaMoure team on our own field. This game also resulted in a defeat for the locals, 15-6. The team, however, showed a marked improvement over the week previous. The team journeyed to Ashley on the following Friday to lock horns with the gridders of that city. The two teams were about evenly matched; but the more consistent driving and smoother teamwork of the Cards gave them a 12-7 victory. The next encounter of the season was with the Edgeley High School team at Edgeley. The Cards enjoyed this game and romped over the yard lines. When the final whistle blew, they had won the game 31-0. — 55 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Hull Tiegs Gerber Jury Ackert Carr Heme End Tackle Guard Guard Center End Tackle Ashley came over to Ellendale for the next game. This was probably the best game that the Cards played all season. When the final whistle blew, the score was 24-6 in favor of the Cardinals. The game at Oakes was the next in line. The heavy, fast, hardhitting Tornado offense was too much for our light line. The Oakes team won the game by a score of 26-0. Cogswell came to Ellendale for the last game of the season. This was the only team that the Cards slightly outweighed during any of the contests. The locals displayed their drive and variety of offense to chalk up a 33-0 victory. Considering the season as a whole, it was a success. The boys played the game to the best of their ability at all times. They also displayed the ideals of true sportsmen during the entire season. Out of the seven games played, four of them resulted in victories and three resulted in defeats. The Cards scored a total of 106 points while holding their opponents to 73.

Because of the plucky way our quintet met the adverse conditions that faced them during the year, they made the slogan, “Cardinals Fight,” mean exactly what it says. A successful season does not necessarily mean a district championship, but it does mean sportsmanship displayed by the team throughout the season. The general progress and advancement of the team for the past season is highly commendable, and the team is to be congratulated on its fighting spirit and perseverance. There were two outstanding events in the ’29 season, the Sub-District Tournament held at Oakes, and the District Tournament at Jamestown. At the Oakes Tournament the Cardinals chalked up a one point victory over Oakes in an overtime period and brought home a silver trophy, the first trophy won by any basketball team in Ellendale High School. At the District Tournament at Jamestown, Courtney forfeited the first game to Ellendale, and the Cardinals drew Jamestown for their first game. The Jimmies were very fast and had an excellent passing attack, which proved to be their main feature. The Cardinals bowed to the powerful “Blue Jays” with a final score of 22 to 8. The “Blue Jays” easily con- quered the other teams and proved themselves District Champions. The consolation game between the Cardinals and the Purple and White Cagers from LaMoure was perhaps the most interesting game of the tournament. The two teams were evenly matched, and the close score and the excellent brand of basketball played by the teams furnished the audience a thrilling game. During the last few seconds of play a LaMoure guard sank a long shot which won the game, giving them a score of 21 to the Cardinals’ 20. At the close of the tournament the boys were presented with a fine sportsmanship trophy. — Ronald Carr The year ' s scores are: Cardinal 31 — Cogswell 10 Cardinal Cardinal 22 — Cogswell 20 — Lisbon 18 29 Cardinal 20 — Aberdeen DeMolay.,16 Cardinal 14 — LaMoure 16 Cardinal .. 22 — Marion 13 Cardinal 20 Cardinal Cardinal 27 — LaMoure ..-24 — Oakes . ...19 . 9 Cardinal... 24 — Valley City.. . .13 Cardinal 26 — Oakes 18 Cardinal... ---19 — Oakes 18 Cardinal.... 8 — Jamestown . ...22 LaMoure 21 SUBDISTRICT Cardinal 22 — Marion 13 Cardinal 19 — Oakes 7 —.18 DISTRICT Cardinal 8 — Jamestown 22 Cardinal. 2 0 — LaMoure.. 21 Total Score: Cardinal, 267: Opponents, 222. Four of this year’s regulars will graduate. They are Milton Smith, Ronald Carr, Harold Gerber, and Eldon Jury. This will leave Ellendale with one veteran and three letter men for our next year’s team, but a good team for the 1929-’30 season will be built from the reserves. 1928 -’29 TEAM Harold Gerber Forward Ronald Carr (Captain) Center Milton Smith Forward Eldon Jury Guard Albert Dietz ..Guard — 58 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 First row : Ccach Christie, Erroll Lilleboe, Ronald Carr, Elliot Thomas, Howard Ackert, Dale Newman.

Track - 1928 Although Erie and Ernest Robertson and Donald Crabtree, who were considered among the state’s best athletes, were lost through graduation last year, Coach Christie built up another strong team that successfully lived up to the admirable record made by the former teams. The first meet in which the Cardinals contested was the Kiwanis Invitation meet held at Valley City, May 5. Here, the team, which was composed of all new men, with the exception of Newman, easily surpassed the other teams and took first place with its total of 52 points, the next competitor being Harvey with 14 points. Ellendale also won the half-mile relay, for which they had the honor of bringing home a silver loving cup. Lilleboe broke the Kiwanis record for the javelin throw by a throw of 138 feet. The following week, the Normal Industrial College of this city, sponsored their annual meet. The track team again excelled, taking first place, with 64 points. Their nearest opponent was Oakes, who, with 14 points, took second place. Ellendale gained possession of the newly purchased cup for one year by winning the N. I. meet. They gained permanent possession of the former cup by taking the meet for three consecutive years. The track team closed its season at the State Meet at Grand Forks, May 18-19. In the preliminar- ies, the Cardinals qualified in eight events, but Newman and Hill proved to be the only point makers in the finals. Hill took second place in the 880 yard race, and Newman took third place in the 220 yard dash. The Cardinal team won second place in the half-mile relay. — 59 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 Ellendale High School Track History The real spirit of present day track in the Ellendale High School was born in the spring of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-five. It was at this time that the Cardinal athletes began to take a very active interest in track events. In this year, under the tutelage of Coach Carlson, the tracksters won the N. I. invitation Track Meet by a very large margin. They went to the state track meet; and Ernest Robertson took third place in the century dash, and Roscoe Gibson took second in the pole vault. The half-mile relay team, composed of Ernest and Erie Robertson, Donald Crabtree, and Roscoe Gibson, took third in this event. In the spring of 1926, Coach Christie had the tracksters for the first time. The boys had retained the spirit from the previous year and were out working at the first sign of spring. The record set up this year was even more outstanding than that of the year before. The N. I. Invitation meet was won with a total of sixty-one points. The next highest competitor was Oakes with a total of thirty-four points. The track team went to the state track meet at Grand Forks and more than brought glory to their school. In the preliminary events, the Cardinal speedsters qualified in nineteen events. In the finals, they won enough points to win third place in the meet. The half-mile relay team set a fast pace to win out over Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck. The next year, our track laurels were raised even higher; the team romped away with the Kiwanis meet at Valley City with a score of forty points. They also won the N. I. Invitation meet for the third successive time. At this meet the speedsters garnered a total of forty-eight points. At the May Festival at Fargo, the tracksters brought home more laurels and put the high school on the map more firmly than ever as a home of speed merchants. Led by the Robertson twins and Donald Crabtree, the Cardinal speedsters won third place in the meet and broke the May Festival record for the half-mile relay when they negotiated that distance in one minute and thirty-six seconds. Ernest Robertson shattered the Festival record for the century dash when he stepped that distance in ten and one-fifth seconds. Ellendale High School won third place in the state track meet at Grand Forks the following week. They also won the half-mile relay in this meet. The half-mile relay was one of the most thrilling events of the meet and -60- 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 will be long remembered by those who saw it. Ernest Robertson closed up a gap of ten yards and sprint- ed to a several yaid win over the anchor man on the Grand Forks team. It was this sprint which marked him the fastest sprinter in the northwest. The Cardinal relay team also took part in the Dakota relays at Sioux Falls. In the preliminaries, they negotiated the distance in one minute and thirty-five and two- fifths seconds. Running with class A high schools, they took fourth place in the finals. The business men of Ellendale raised funds to send Ernest Robertson and Coach Christie to the National Interscholas- tic Track Meet at Chicago. Ernie” was handicapped by a bad foot, but he was good eno ugh to get to the semi-finals m the dash event. This meant that he was among the sixteen best of the hundred or more sprinters from the whole United States. For the season of 1928, all the veterans of the year previous were missing with the exception of Dale Newman. The boys had the track spirit, however, and they maintained the exalted position of the previous E. H. S. teams. The first meet of the season was a triangular meet with Frederick and Hecla. The Cardinal team showed a tremendous amount of power and completely ran away with the meet. They piled up a total of eighty-two points as against thirty-one for Frederick, and four for Hecla. They stepped off a lively gait to win the Kiwanis meet by amassing places enough to give a total of fifty-two points. The next highest competitor only won fourteen and one-half points. The fleet-footed Cardinals also won the N. I. invitation meet for the fourth consecutive year by capturing a total of sixty-four points. At the state meet, the boys did not show up so well. This was probably due to the fact that many of the boys were new, and the excitement from such a large field of contestants was too much for some of them. Hill and Newman were the only Cardinals to win places. Hill won a second in the half- mile and Newman won third in the 220 yard dash. The half-mile relay team composed of Schmierer, Thomas, Hill, and Newman won second in this event, losing to Cavalier only by inches. Prospects for a brilliant season this year seem very good. The same track spirit is evident Hill Schmierer, Smith, Lilleboe, Carr, Chute, Tiegs, Lewis, Heine, E. Jury, Hull, Fischer, Ladd, and Dietz are working out every day in preparation for the coming season. 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 ' K i nj ' G i « Jl n n o c c n o«S tjrttnOi — 62 — 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 1929 E I lendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The Laff’s On You Some of this is funny, Some of it is not, Guess you’ll have to read it, For it’s all we’ve got.

The great feature of to-night’s program is the fifteenth annual reunion of the now famous class of 1929, Ellendale High School, which is being held in the Royal Blue and Silver Ball room of the King Louis Hotel. This great program represents the most gigantic hook-up of radio stations ever attempted in the history of this most marvelous of twentieth century inventions. In addition to thousands of the largest stations in the United States, we have with us Paris, London, Berlin, Moscow, Vienna — in fact all the large centers of art and culture. The festivities are about to begin. While we are waiting, let us take a look about the ball room, which is to be the scene of the joyous event. The decorations are beautiful and elaborate. The balcony, from which strains of beautiful music will soon issue forth, is festooned with the class colors, Royal Blue and Silver. The floor is a sheet of beautiful white marble, and the furnishings are gorgeous beyond description. But the festivities are beginning. From the adjoining room the guests are filing in for the grand march. The magic strains of the Symphony Orchestra, transported from New York especially for this occasion, fall on our ears. They play this evening with the able assistance of Stella Bergstreser, soloist, who has a permanent position with the orchestra. Miss Bergstreser has often delighted radio audiences with her beautiful lyric soprano voice. Leading the procession is Miss Nan Wheelihan, greatest of all actresses, rivaling Ellen Terry in her dramatic art. She is now starring in “Lady Of The Ages,” which is booked for a five year run in New York City. Following Broadway’s brightest light, is Miss Cravella Jenkins, who is well known to the radio audience by her fame as being the youngest artist whose pictures have been hung in the Gibson Art Galleries in New York City. Miss Jenkins is said to be the most promising young artist since the time of Raphael and Michael Angelo. Her oil and crayon sketches are masterpieces in the highest degree. Another rising artist, this one in the poet ' s realm, is Miss Edna Mallon, better known to her admirers by her pen name, “Red.” Her poems have been translated into every language known to man, and the New York Publishing House works overtime to produce her volumes. The New York Publishing house is owned and operated by Harold Meachen, who has enlarged the building t hree times its size since 1930. He has been able to do this with the fortune he accumulated flirting with Lady Luck in investments in stocks, bonds, and oil wells. Behind Mr. Meachen comes Ronald Carr, globe-trotter and world renowned explorer, who has visited every continent in the world. Mr. Carr, as a side-line has discovered a few new islands which have yielded immense wealth to the United States Treasury. Medals have been awarded to him for this work. Ronnie has now settled down temporarily, and besides broadcasting tales of his travels from this station, he is writing a volume of his adventures. Next we see Harry Heine, who is well known for his brilliant and unusual research work in chemistry with the Rockefeller Foundation. He has, as an avocation, taken up Luther Burbank s work where it was practically dropped at the death of Burbank, and has developed some remarkable bugless potato plants, which have grown surprisingly popular. Marie Furan follows Mr. Heine. She is well known as a Modiste, creator of American fashions. Many of her ideas have been acquired during her travels abroad, which have included the great continents of the world. She models exclusively for the “Four Hundred” of New York and for the society circle in her old home town. — 64 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 The next in the procession is Janet Keith. Miss Furan and Miss Keith have traveled together a great deal, as Miss Keith has lectured extensively on Scotch life. She is widely known for these famous talks, and is two months behind in her appointments; she is in such great demand. The line continues with Miss Magda Hermansen, teacher of Commercial Courses in the Moscow Business College. Her skill as a teacher and her well-remembered personality and good looks have made the College so popular and well known that one must register four years at least in advance to have even the slightest hope of attending. Marjorie Ochiltree now glides into our view. Her classical tambourine dancing, learned in Spain, has made her famous throughout Europe. She excels greatly the dancing of her teachers. She is now on a six months’ vacation after a strenuous five-year run in the old home town, Ellendale, North Dakota. She is spending her vacation in Glenn’s Gulch west of Ellendale, where she is the guest of Miss Edna Heine, whose palatial summer home is located in Glenn’s Gulch. Miss Heine is one of the greatest violin- ists ever known, surpassing Kreisler in her art. She too is recuperating in the hills, and these two cel- ebrities very gracefully and kindly consented to come to Shreveport for the reunion. Next we see the Misses Zachary Taylor and Louella Elliott, head nurses of the Chicago North- western Hospital. They have many medals testifying to their expert work in the help of the sick. It is due to them that the diseases, measles, small pox, and whooping cough, are no more. Following these doughty women, comes Milton Smith, Harvard Athletic Director. He has so instructed his men in the ways and means of athletic prowess that they have broken all records ever set by man. He too has an avocation, as all great men have, that of designing labels for the Heinz productions. Gladys Heimke follows. She is engaged in missionary work in the heart of Africa and has many strange tales to tell of the Jungles. She has been engaged to write articles for the American Magazine. Miss Mable Whelan and Miss Helga Ojala follow. They are famous for their ability to take rapid dictation and their typing and are now located with the Standard Oil Trust in Oklahoma, where they work, diligently, day by day. Doctor Richard Tiegs, who has just returned from India where he has been doing research work among the natives, is next. Richard will open offices in Sacremento, where he is already in great demand among the sick. Carrie Nelson and Evelyn Brown now gracefully enter. They are in Miss Furan ’s Modiste shop in New York. They have increased trade greatly and are an invaluable asset to the business. They will soon tour Paris and display American fashions in that city. Vivian Graham has taken up the agency for the distribution of Mr. Eldon Jury’s greatest publica- tion, “Give the Farmer a Chance.” It is said that Miss Graham has sold as many as a gross of books a day. They are going like hot cakes, and Mr. Jury is to be congratulated on his journalistic venture. Miss Graham also has a side-line. In her spare moments she instructs the Indians on the North Dakota Reservations in the three R’s — Reading, Riting, ’Rithmetic. Mr. Jury has been associated with the Secretary of Agriculture. Together the two men have helped the farmers gain a footing in the political world. Mr. Jury is thinking seriously of entering Congress to filibuster, so that he may gain relief for the farmers. And now we see Miss Ethele Stucker. She has a remarkable position in Miss Hermansen’s Moscow College, that of Bookkeeping Instructor. Due to her skill as an instructor, the Russians are becoming such good bookkeepers, that it has been decided that the Government will allow her to retire with honors, and will give her a pension for the rest of her days, which she will spend in Miss Ruth Collett’s select boarding house. Miss Collett follows Miss Stucker. She is well known in New York City for her skill in attracting New York Society to her “Den of Enchantment,” which she has very cleverly named her rooming house. The last in the grand procession is Mr. Harold Gerber, President of the Associated Electrical Engineers. He has helped in the construction of many large bridges and electric works of great marvel. Mr. Gerber finances poor struggling beginners in this line of work. The grand procession is over, and the orchestra strikes up a waltz, and the assembled guests couple off and swing into its rhythm. Here we must leave the class of ’29, happy in their reunion. Radio station KWKH is now signing off to make way for other stations. Your Radio announcer, A1 Ritchie, wishes you a very pleasant “Good evening, Everybody.” — 65- 1929 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum, 2017 INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LOWER CLASSMEN ON HOW TO BE- COME POPULAR WITH THE TEACHERS: 1. Be cheerful and lend a helping hand. Stop in after class and offer a few suggestions on how to run the class. 2. When writing a test, write on as few questions as possible. The teacher knows you don’t know, so why aggravate her by making her look over the bluffs. 3. Always look at your watch so that the instructor may know when to ask for the time in case her watch stops or the bell should accidentally be out of order. 4. Don’t talk in class. Write notes. 5. Crack jokes and keep the teacher cheerful. 6. Chew gum; they know it is good for the digestion. 7. Never cheat. The teacher may think you are dishonest. 8. Be happy. A smile will go a long, long way. Whistle in the assembly and cheer your neighbors. 9. Take a few sandwiches or some candy to class and keep the noon hour for study. 10. Always prepare your next day’s lesson in class; teachers like ’em studious. — Exchange Christie — “ What’s contained in sea water?” JVillie C . — “Chloride of sodium, and, er- and-” .

They took a corner at a rate that made them careen madly.
