In the latter part of the year, emphasis was given to the preparation of music to be used in the annual choral festival. On April 28, Professor H. C. Row- land, in charge of vocal music at the University of North Dakota, visited the high school and put the various groups through some very effective drill. The same evening the annual spring concert was given, assisted by Lydia Tiegs, Frances Durand and Peggy Blumer in piano numbers. On April 29, the fourth annual Southeastern Choral Festival was held at LaMoure. Choruses from LaMoure, Edgeley, and Oakes as well as Ellen- dale participated in this delightful event. The program follows: Advancing the Colors Boy Scouts “America ' ' (first and last verse) Audience and Chorus CHORUS “Lo!

The girls ' glee club will sing at graduation exercises to be held Thursday, May 21. During the year a number of outside musical treats have been thoroughly enjoyed. On November 1, 1935, E. H. S. students were the guests of N. I. for a chapel program. The entertainer was Miss Jane Dudley, an expert violinist. Her program was in the form of a lecture-recital which was both in- structive and entertaining. On February 25, a group of local musicians put on a splendid program in the high school assembly room. The program consisted of a group of vocal solos by Mrs. F. E. Randall and a number of piano duets by Mrs. A. E. Dunphy and Mrs. L. M. Cole- man. A Major Bowes amateur contest sponsored by the county superintendent ' s office was held February 6. Scott Walker won first with a clarinet solo, and Lillian Hillius, third place with a vocal solo. In the final county contest at Oakes Scott, Walker received third place. In the district music contest held at Wahpeton, Miriam Fleming, entering for the first time, was given second place. Scott Walker, clarinet solo, Ly- dia Tiegs, piano solo, and Frances Durand and Mar- garet Blumer, piano duet, all received first place. Before going to Wahpeton, all these numbers had been presented in programs at N. I. and at the high school and at a public recital at N. I. Those winning first places in the district contest will complete at the University in the state music contests, May 14-16. The high school band was reorganized for the 11th consecutive year on September 6, with the fol- lowing membership : Cornets: Wm. Jackson, Marshall Hokana, Rita Phillips and Phyllis Fleming. Clarinets: Scott Walker, Jay St. John, Lillian Dobler, Lois Jorgenson, Dorothy Brown and Howard Ho kana. Altos: Ernest Lees and Evelyn Mae Wright. Baritones: John Dunphy and Miriam Fleming. Bass : Lowell Hamar. Trombone: Willard Hokana. Alto Saxaphone: John Jackson. Drums: Rolla Durand, Junior Schook and James Miles. Mr. Floyd Ackert has been of great help to the band by sitting in and playing trombone. During the spring months he is starting a number of boys on band instruments who will be good material for future bands. The band under direction of Mr. Fiske, has ap- peared in public several times. It appeared before the high assembly in November and again at an athletic program in January. On March 20 the band provided a convocation program at N. I. In addition to the regular band, a “pep band of 14 pieces was organized to play at basketball games. It did much to enliven school spirit and pleasantly fill the intermissions. On April 17, all the band members and their di- rector, Howard Fiske; Floyd Ackert, a former mem- ber and now director of the Ellendale city band; Superintendent E. C. Ingvalson; and Miss Gladys Johnson, were guests at a banquet prepared and served by the mothers of the band members. Pre- ceding the dinner a program of music was given: A baritone solo, Miriam Fleming; clarinet solo, Scott Walker; vocal quartet, Rolla Durand, James Miles, Jay St. John and Lowell Hamar; and pep singing with Miss Johnson at the piano. After din- ner toasts were given by Phyllis Fleming, Lois Jor- genson, William Jackson, Floyd Ackert and Super- intendent Ingvalson. Mr. Fiske acted as toastmaster. Much credit is due our director, Mr. Howard Fiske, for the success of the band this year. His fine enthusiasm and interest has been very stimu- lating. As evidence of his deep interest in this ac- tivity he has helped to plan a band event to be known as the Southeastern Band Festival.

Music activity for 1935-36 was carried forward in both Senior and Junior high school with increased appreciation of this happiest of all fine arts. Both the splendid, capable directors, Miss Gladys Johnson, who has charge of the chorus work and Mr. Howard Fiske, in charge of the band, were new in Ellendale High this year. Miss Jewell Robinson took her place again as accompanist. The combined efforts of directors and students have achieved some very creditable results. The boys’ and girls’ glee clubs and the band were organized early in the fall. The mixed chorus was organized at the beginning of the second semester. The first appearance of the girls’ glee club was before a joint convocation of Senior and Junior High students, on March 12. Two numbers were used: “Lullaby” by Brahms, and “I Hear The Bees a Hummin’ ” by Zamecnik. The rest of the period was used in assembly singing, rounds and novelty numbers being used. A very happy event was the combined program and party given by the glee clubs, on December 19. The combined group sang “Christmas Song” by Adam. A group of nine mixed voices sang “Christ- mas Lullaby” by F. M. Christiansen. Several piano numbers, a reading and carol singing completed a very delightful program, followed by a social hour in which pop corn balls and the playing of folk games played an important part. The boys’ glee club sang for assembly on Feb- ruary 21, and on February 28. They also sang sev- eral numbers at the Masonic oratorical contest, which was held March 5. At the beginning of the second semester more emphasis was placed upon the mixed chorus which was formed by putting the two glee clubs together and adding a few voices. The membership of this chorus has been as follows: Sopranos — Thelma Bol- stad, Janet Brouillard, Lillian Dobler, Miriam Flem- ing, Vivian Fleming, Mary Griffin, Lillian Hillius, Lois Huber, Alice Paulsen, Elsie Quashnick, Clara Schmierer, Martha Van Horn, and Lila Vasvick.

Left to right — Marquardt, Crabtree, Tobin, Sizer, Hafner, Trosin, Walker, Newman, Coach O. K. Ehlers. Football Coach Ehlers had a fairly easy time this year, for he had a good-sized nucleus around which he could build a football team. Seven lettermen were back and there were others with experience. The team was quite heavy and fast, which placed it among the outstanding teams of North Dakota. When the season score is summarized it is evident that the Cardinals did a great deal of scoring, having a total of 218 points to its opponent ' s 20. Only two teams crossed our goal line, Edgeley and Lidgerwood. Wishek 0 Oakes 0 Aberdeen “Seconds” .... 0 Edgeley 7 LaMoure 0 Milnor 0 Lidgerwood 13 Ellendale 12 Ellendale 6 Ellendale 31 Ell en da’ e 42 Ellendale 57 Ellendale 75 Ellendale 0 Ellendale tied with Enderlin in the conference race. This entitles E. H. S. to the honor of co- champion and to the conference trophy for half time and it now resides in our trophy case. EISEsach ) citizens gave excellent support to the team throughout the season and were enthusiastic about its victories. Ardent fans such as D. W. Crab- tree, W. E. Marquardt and J. V. Miles, with the sup- port of the Community club and business men gen- erally, raised money by means of an entertainment to buy each letter-man a gold football. The enter- tainment consisted of a moving picture show sup- plied by our good friend, Dr. Lynds, and included films of our team in action taken by him. The boys deeply appreciate the recognition given them. Two banquets were given the football boys this year; one by the mothers of the boys and one by the Community club. These were greatly enjoyed by the boys. Football letters were awarded after the banquet given by the mothers. Those to receive letters were : Edwin Sand, Alvin Sand, Owen Sizer, Raymond Neu- mann, Herbert Trosin, Duane Crabtree, Reuben Mar- quardt, William Jackson, Burwell Leet, Harlan Wan- aka, Kenneth Tobin, Howard Boom, Marshall Ho- kana, Vernerd Fitzgerald, Leslie Bowman, and James Miles. Owen Sizer was voted Honor Athlete for 1935, and was presented with a special trophy pro- vided by Coach Ehlers and Mr. Ingvalson. Harlan Wanaka was elected captain for next year. Basketball The “Cards” started the season with five letter- men who had lots of experience. They fell in the first game of the season, victims to the “Indees,” in a tight battle, 25-26. Although we had a good team this year, its play- ing was not always consistent. It appeared that sometimes its playing was poorest when good play- ing was most in demand, such as when we met James- town, at the Oakes tournament, and in the final game of the district tournament.
