Valley City received 27 points; Linton, 24%; Carrington, 19; Ashley, 15; Ellendale, 13; Forbes, 8%; Valley City College High, 2; Stirum, 2; Edgeley, 1; Oakes, %.

LAUGHS YOU Porter: “Did you miss that train, suh?” Puffing Passenger: “No! I didn’t like the looks of it, so I chased it out of the station.” “Your wife is talking of going to Europe next summer. Have you any objections?” “No, certainly not. Let her talk.” A barber was shaving a new customer “Haven’t I shaved you before, sir?” said he. “No,” said the customer, “I got those scars in France.” OUR SENIOR ATHLETES Leo Billey has played football all through high school. The last two years he has been doing excel- lent, consistent work as a regular at tackle. Robert Christianson has been strong for basket- ball all through high school. He has been a regular at guard and center for two years. This year he has also done very nice track work, his specialties being hurdles and high jump. Deryck Cawthorne has been a basketball regu- lar for two years, doing very creditable work. His usual position is center. Ray Gorman is our honorary captain and honor athlete in football, having served two years as a regular at halfback. He is a basketball enthusiast and has done good track work this year. Roland Hagen is all for football, playing end in his sophomore and junior years. This year, how- ever, he was ineligible because of too many birth- days. Although Raymond Struck was not a regular in football or basketball, he deserves honorable men- tion, for it is fellow T s like Raymond who really build the teams. Leo Zimmer after a year’s experience at Golva, North Dakota, has done valiant duty at fullback and halfback positions this year in football. Norris Wanaka, our diminutive quarterback, re- ceived his second letter in football this year and has shown good all around playing. Ralph Wallace has done good work as a regular at end the past two years in football. He was also a regular in basketball last year. ET every daum of morning be to you as the beginning of life and every setting sun be to you as its close; then let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others, some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves. John Ruskin Slow Waiter (in London restaurant) : “Your cof- fee, sir; it’s special from South America, sir.” Diner (sarcastically) : “Oh, so that’s where you’ve been?” Newlywed: “I wonder why it is we can’t save anything.” Mrs. Newlywed: “It’s the neighbors, dear; they are always doing something we can’t afford.” “Where I spent Christmas last year the thermom- eter dropped to zero.” “That’s nothing.” “What’s nothing?” “Why, zero!” Harold: “Statistics show that a person is hit by an automobile in this country every forty-two sec- onds.” Harvey: “I don’t see how that guy can stand such punishment.” “You remember when you cured my rheumatism a couple of years ago, Doc.?” asked the patient, “and you told me that I should avoid dampness?” “Yes, that’s right,” replied the doctor, approv- ingly. “Well, I’ve come to ask you if I can take a bath.” The young wife went into the grocer’s. “I bought three or four hams here a month or so ago,” she said, “and they were fine. Have you any more of them?” “Yes, ma’am,” replied the grocer, “there are ten of those hams hanging there now.” “Well, if they’re off the same pig, I’ll take three of them,” she said. For taxation purposes it was necessary to decide which side of the Canadian and United States border a farm, which a gentle owner had just purchased, actually lay. When the surveyor finally announced to her that the farm was on the American side of the border, she smiled with relief. “I’m so glad to know that,” she said. “I’ve heard that winters in Canada are terribly severe.” PAGE 8 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017
