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
