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.

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. The summary for the season : “Indees” 25 Ellendale .26 Kulm 14 Ellendale 22 PAGE 6 1936 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017

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.

Our Senior Athletes Owen Sizer has played basketball since he was in the eighth grade. He earned his first letter when he was a Sophomore and was captain this year. He has played regular at end in football for two years and has two letters. A letter man in track, he does the high jump, high and low hurdle, shot put, and half mile. He ranks as one of the most outstanding athletes the school has ever had. Herbert Trosin plays at forward in basketball and is a two year letter man. In football he has played half and fullback and here also he has earned two letters. In track he runs the 220 yard dash, high and low hurdles and does the high jump and broad jump. Reuben Marquardt came to us as a Senior, trans- ferring from Annandale, Minnesota. Already a three year letter man in basketball, he annexed another this year doing noble duty at guard. Inexperienced in football, he soon caught on and made a “whizz” at fullback. In track he pushes the shot and runs the 220 yard dash. Alvin Sand, ha iling from out east of town, has made his mark as a tackle in football, having earned two letters. In track he runs the 440 and puts the shot. His brother Edwin has made an effective guard in football and has garnered two letters in this sport. Walter Leet, the “streak” from Redfield, S. D., made the third all-state football team as a Junior. Too many birthdays made him ineligible this year, but he is not to be forgotten and we are sure his opponents will remember him. Raymond Neumann has played basketball for four years and has earned two letters, playing at either forward or guard. As a Senior he annexed another letter by playing end in football. Duane Crabtree is a two letter man in basket- ball, playing at guard. He is also a two letter man in football, playing at center and acting as captain this year. In track he runs the mile and half mile and takes a turn at vaulting. He has one letter in track, earned last year. William Jackson has earned a letter in football and has participated in basketball. He is active in track, running the 440 yard dash and the half mile. He is out to win the coveted track letter. Tp )ur splendid coach, Mr. 0. K. Ehlers, the Sen- ioE ptfys wish to extend their thanks. Through his flforts and untiring zeal, athletics in our school have been brought to a very high standard. To the boys still in school go our best wishes for continued success. This has been a very successful year in the field of dramatics. Students have given their full sup- port and co-operation to make dramatics a success and to make this activity one of the most outstanding in school history. Dramatics not only challenges the support and loyalty of the student body but is also a way of raising money for other school activ- ities ’ and social events such as the Junior-Senior banquet. There will always be a number of students who have dramatic talent which can be utilized and de- veloped in the giving of plays and in declamation. These activities are very beneficial in building up these talents. After appearing in a number of plays or declamations, the performer soon ceases to have “stage-fright” and begins to feel at home before an audience. “Home Town Girl” This all-high-school play was presented Novem- ber 22 and 23. It was given to supply the students who were not playing football with a worthy activity as well as to finance the Junior-Senior banquet. The play was both an artistic and a financial success. The cast of characters was as follows : Luke Stone, a small town lawyer John Dunphy Caroline Arms, Luke ' s cousin Clara Schmierer Marian Hastings, Luke ' s niece Frances DuRand Arthur Jennings, in love with Marian.. ..Scott Walker Washington Lafayette Stubbs, himself ....Donald Rekow Mrs. Hastings-Smith, Marian ' s aunt. .Miriam Crabtree Leroy Hastings-Smith, Marian ' s cousin .. .Robert Maercklein Amanda Whitaker, a neighbor Lillian Johnson Ebenezer, a peace officer Vernon Heckelsmiller Sherman O.
