IN RETROSPECT (Concluded from Page 2) As Juniors we began to have a little more in- fluence. We were more serious and studied harder. The special talent we had in our class became noticed. Some of the boys made the athletic teams and the girls distinguished themselves in music and acting, the finer arts as it were. Some of the boys were now excellent carpenters and the girls all knew the proper way to decorate and care for a house. Now came the year ' 35 and we are mighty Seniors! We walk now with a measured, military tread and when we talk we nod our heads in the wisest manner. Of course the teachers cannot notice any great change in our class work even though we are so mighty. This being the last is of course the best year, but being the last it also brings us regrets. As school closes we will separate and each one go his own way. We will meet again in twos and threes but it is doubtful whether we will all ever be together again. So let us make the most of what is left of this year and take with us only happy memories. PAGE 4 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017

The music program of the high school for 1934- 35 was very full. Glee clubs, band, and mixed chorus, representing both Senior High and Junior High, worked hard all year and presented some ex- cellent programs. We are sure the music activity deserves all the cooperation and support it got, for it is one of the finest activities in the high school. The first record of any music activity for 1934- 35 is dated September 13. It is a note that work in both boys ' and girls ' glee clubs would begin the next week. Miss Benz was to have charge of the girls and Mr. McFarlane the boys. In November, the first plans for the annual music festival were made immediately following the athletic conference. Oakes was designated as the place and Superintendent Quam was named man- ager. Most of the music was decided upon and Hy- well C. Rowland, head of the vocal music depart- ment at the University of North Dakota was chosen again as guest director. On November 28, a program was given by the Girls ' Glee Club to the combined members of Senior High, Junior High, and sixth and seventh grades. The program consisted of a group of songs called “Mother Goose Arabesque. Sixteen members of the Girls ' Glee Club were given an opportunity to join the N. I. chorus in the presentation of Christmas cantata. By March 14, the mixed chorus had had its first practice in preparation for the music festival. The members were as follows: Soprano — Thelma Bolstad, Margaret Blumer, Irene Brennan, Frances DuRand, Miriam Fleming, Mary Griffin, Mayvis Hafner, Dorothy Heine, Betty Holte, Alice Paulson, Elsie Quashnick, Clara Schmierer, Martha VanHorn, Anna May Crabtree. Alto — Jane Brouillard, Mary Jane Coleman, Phyllis Combellick, Miriam Crabtree, Helen Gra- ham, LaVonne Higgs, Florence Maunu, Lolita Muske, Donalda Rekow, Esther Schmidt, Cora Schmierer, Margery St. John, Lydia Tiegs. Bass — Lowell Hamar, Harlan Wanaka, John Wheelihan, Robert Blatchford, Ralph Wallace, Ralph Holte, Carl Siemers, Leo Zimmer, Howard Boom. Tenor — Marshall Hokana, Irwin Zinter, Howard Hill, Wayne Bergfalk, Clifford Leet, Scott Walker, Burwell Leet, James Miles, Herbert Trosin, Robert Maercklein, John Dunphy, Roland Hagen, Ben Scheffert. The date of the district contest held at N. I. was set for Thursday, April 4. Students from the high school taking part in the music section were Lydia Tiegs, piano solo; John Dunphy, violin solo; Scott Walker, clarinet solo; Deryck Cawthorne, boy ' s low voice solo; Frances Durand and Margaret Blumer, piano duet. Of these Deryck Cawthorne, John Dunphy, Scott Walker, Frances DuRand and Margaret Blumer placed. On Sunday, April 7, John McFarlane and his high school band were featured in the vesper serv- ice at the Methodist Church. Wednesday evening, April 10, the band journeyed to Forbes where they joined forces with that band in concert. Each band, directed by John McFarlane, played a number of selections, and four numbers were played by a joint ensemble of the two bands. On Thursday evening, the Forbes band came to Ellendale and the concert was repeated in senior assembly. The Girls ' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus ' sang “Beauteous Morn and “Now Thank We All Our God, respectively, at the Presbyterian Church April 17. It was the first public appearance for both groups. The annual spring concert was held on Wednes- day evening, May 1, in senior high assembly. The program was given by the Girls ' Glee Club, the Boys ' Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, and Scott Walker, Frances DuRand, and Margaret Blumer. The music festival was held at Oakes, May 3. The day was spent in rehearsing for the evening program. The E.H.S. group was well trained, thanks to the directors. Besides the music presented by the combined groups from Edgeley, Ellendale, LaMoure, and Oakes, Mr. Rowland sang several solos, which were greatly enjoyed. We think the festival is one of the finest of our music activities and hope it will be continued. On Sunday afternoon, May 5, the Enderlin High School a capella choir under the direction of M. C. Olufson entertained a large audience in the N. I. chapel. Mr. Olufson was formerly a member of St. Olaf choir. This was a splendid example of a capella singing and we were especially impressed by the fine work done in memorizing. The choir was unusually fine for a high school group. The last appearance of the mixed chorus this year will be at graduation exercises and at the Senior Church Service. We have enjoyed our work a great deal in the various music organizations and have done our best to make their work a suc- cess. We appreciate the work of Miss Benz and Mr. McFarlane, who have done so much, and we hope that the next year’s music activities will be as fine as this year ' s. To Miss Benz particularly, who is leaving us this year, we extend our good wishes, and hope that the glee clubs and mixed chorus next year will be as fortunate in their director. OPPORTUNITY So long as men shall be on earth There will be tasks for them to do. Some way for them to show their worth; Each day shall bring its problems new. And men shall dream of mightier deeds Than ever have been done before; There always shall be human needs For men to work and struggle for. — Edgar A.
