The Microphone Published under the direction of the officers of the Senior class, May 8, 1937 Donald W. Rekow President William Howard Boom Vice-President Helen Elizabeth Graham Secretary-Treasurer E. C. Ingvalson Class Advisor For the third consecutive year the Senior class of Ellendale High School is issuing the Microphone. The school has found in this little publication a practical way of bringing to the attention of parents and patrons some of the many activities of the school. Necessarily, the so-called extra-curricular activities are stressed. Around these activities the “life” and the “spirit’ of the school revolve. For the Senior the Microphone vill serve as an interesting and fitting souvenir of his sojourn in high school. In years to come it will revive him in his memories of profitable and happy school days.

Ehlers, we dedicate this issue of the Microphone, in grateful appreciation of his many years of faithful service in our class- rooms and on the athletic field. In Retrospect We, the Senior class of ’37, have not always been as powerful and mighty as we now are. This, although it is true, is almost too much for us to admit. We began as Freshmen just as any other class would. We were not a conscientious bunch and our studies were often woefully neglected. We adapted ourselves to the ways and manners of the school and the rules of the school were dictated to us. In that year we met many of the pupils who came from the country and who today are our classmates. The next year we were Sophomores, which put us in Senior High. As Sophomores, we were looked down upon and treated with abuse by the Seniors of that year. It was not long, however, that we had to contend with this, for we soon took over our rightful place in Senior High. As Juniors, we began to be more respected. We worked harder and had more serious outlook on life. Music and athletics were the dominating in- terests of the class, and some successes were achieved by a few. Now we are the powerful and influential Seniors of ’37. Now it is our turn to belittle the lower classes and make them to feel our superiority. We feel that we are the greatest possible asset to the school and do not hesitate to let them know about it. In spite of our greatness we seem to be unable to make the teachers pay homage to us, but we must, instead, cater to their whims. Although we are happy to graduate, it is also with regret that we leave this school, never more to return. Each of us will be going his own way, and never will all of us be together again. There- fore, let us try to make the rest of this year the pleasantest ever, so that our memories of high school will be made happier by it. o GRADUATION PROGRAM Friday, May 21, Opera House Processional High School Band Selection, “Hall of Fame” (Olivadoti) High School Band Program Theme — “An Accounting” Salutatory — “What We Have Accomplished in High School” Laura Jean Wegner Talk — “How Have We Spent Our Leisure?” John Bruce Dunphy Piano Solo Helen Elizabeth Graham Talk — “Some Challenges” Scott L.
