The band played a joint concert with the Forbes High School band at Forbes. A return concert was played in Ellendale, Tuesday, April 20. At both occasions the Ellendale band opened the program with three selections. Then the Forbes band took the stage and responded with three selections. Then the Ellendale and Forbes band, under the direction of A. 0. Stenehjem and John Hardy respectively, were combined and several selections were played jointly. A few words by both conductors concluded this enjoyable get-together. Carrying on the custom started last year the second Southeastern Band Festival will be held this year in Ellendale. This festival is composed of bands from Edgeley, LaMoure, Kulm and Ellen- dale. Professor J. A. Holvik of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., has again been invited to be guest conductor.

Recognition of musical activities in the form of a music pin is given to all students who have earned the fi fty required points. Since the incep- tion of the plan in 1932, twenty-eight have received the pin. Present student body members who have already earned the pin are: Scott Walker, John Dunphy, Lydia Tiegs, Rita Phillips, Margaret Blumer and Frances DuRand. Helen Graham is the only one to receive the pin this year. A second type of music award will be initiated this year when all students who have participated in the annual music festival for three years will be permitted to wear the E. H. S. music emblem which will consist of a chenille lyre upon which the letter “E” is superimposed. Those receiving the emblem are: Robert Maercklein, John Dunphy, Lydia Tiegs, Helen Graham, Howard Boom and Esther Schmidt, Seniors; Miriam Crabtree, Junior Schook, Frances DuRand, Mary Griffin, Donalda Rekow, Thelma Bolstad, Dorothy Heine, Oscar Roehl and Peggy Blumer, Juniors. We were fortunate in having this year as direc- tor of the music department, Mr. Arnold 0. Steneh- jem, and as accompanist, Miss Edna Bruns. It is through their ability and unceasing efforts to make this department a success that we owe the superior work accomplished and the substantial benefits de- rived from this organization. o SENIOR CHURCH SERVICE Sunday, May 16, Methodist Episcopal Church Processional Mrs. L.

Music has played a very important part in the high school activities for 1936-’37. Senior High as well as Junior High have worked hard all year and have presented some excellent programs. The boys’ and girls’ glee clubs and the band were organized in the fall. The mixed chorus was organized at the beginning of the second semester. The 11:15 period has been devoted to the choruses which has resulted in very creditable organiza- tions of which every high school student is proud. The girls’ and boys’ glee clubs, directed by Mr. Stenehjem and accompanied by Lydia Tiegs, gave a very fine account of what they have been doing in their program presented in the assembly Fri- day morning, March 12. The first selection, “Prayer of Thanksgiving,” was given by the girls’ glee club. The boys’ glee club sang, “The Builder” (Cadman) and “The Pirate Song” (High), and the mixed chorus finished the musical program by singing, “Wake Thee, Now, Dearest Lord” (Deems Taylor), “Fairest Lord Jesus” (arr. by Cain), “Czecho-Slo- vakian Dance Song” (arr. by Krone), and “Land of Hope and Glory” (Elgar-Flagge), concluded this delightful program. The membership of this chorus has been as follows : Sopranos — Lillian Hillius, Lillian Dobler, Helen Graham, Mary Griffin, Gene Wolfe, Marjorie Meacham, Thelma Bolstad, Janet Broulliard, Vivian Fleming, Frances Walker and Dorothy Heine. Altos — Gene Huber, Miriam Crabtree, Lydia Tiegs, Eileen Jensen, Irma Irion, Frances DuRand, Evelyn Mae Wright, Esther Schmidt and Donalda Rekow. Tenors — Richard Irion, Oscar Roehl, Rolla Du- Rand, James Miles, Wayne Bergfalk, LuVerne Brown, Elwood Schimke, and Junior Schook. Basses — Howard Boom, Jay St. John, Lowell Hamar, Russell Fleming, George Radtke, Edward Hafner, John Dunphy, Robert Maercklein, Clifford Schmierer and Ralph Holte. On April 26, the third annual concert of the combined glee clubs was ably given in the audi- torium of the high school. The latter half of the program consisted of th e cantata, “The Village Blacksmith,” which was an outstanding number. Frances DuRand and Scott Walker gave piano and clarinet solos, respectively, between choral numbers, which were greatly enjoyed. The fifth annual Southeastern Choral Festival was held this year at Oakes on May 12. Choruses from LaMoure, Oakes, Edgeley and Ellendale, in all about 175 voices, participated in this enjoyable event. Following is the program: Presentation of Colors Oakes Boy Scouts Land of Hope and Glory — Elgar-Flagge Czecho-Slovakian Dance Song — arr. by Krone Wake Thee Now Dearest — arr. by Taylor Fairest Lord Jesus — arr. by Cain Combined Chorus Elegie — arr. by Cain PAGE 4 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017

When Coach Ehlers sent out a call for football candidates, twenty-five reported. Captain Wanaka, Boom, and Miles in the back-field and Fitzgerald at tackle, were the only lettermen returning around whom Coach Ehlers could build a team. After only a week’s practice the Cards lost the initial game to Wishek, 12-6. The squad became stronger and held Edgeley to a scoreless tie. Then the next week they went on to defeat the Aberdeen “Seconds,” 6-0. They were defeated by Oakes, 13-0, in a ragged though hard-fought game. The next game was a no-score battle with LaMoure and the final game was a vic- tory over Milnor, 12-6, in the best game of the season. Summary: Ellendale 6 Ellendale 0 Ellendale 6 Ellendale 0 Ellendale 0 Ellendale 12 Wishek 12 Edgeley 0 Aberdeen 0 Oakes 13 LaMoure 0 Milnor 6 The annual football banquet served by the mothers, was held November 17. Howard Boom was voted honor athlete for 1936. Letters were awarded to Wanaka, Boom, Miles, Fitzgerald, An- derson, Hill, Hafner, McShane, Schook, Carpenter, Hamar, Meachen, Schmierer, Rowe, Mecklenburg and Dunphy, student manager. BASKETBALL This year Coach Ehlers was faced with the task of building a new basketball team. Walker was the only letter-man back, although a number of the boys had had considerable experience. We lost the first game of the season to the Jamestown Blue- jays, 45-7, and the next game to Lisbon, 17-16. From then on we began to pick up and won the third game from Valley City Teachers Hi, 18-17. Although E. H. S. did not bring home first place from the annual four-school invitational tournament, there was some fast playing and fine sportsmanship shown on the part of the team. In the first game Oakes defeated Ellendale, 29-23, and in the consolation game for third place, Ellendale fought a very close game with LaMoure, defeating them in an over-time period, 25-22, and thus get- ting third honors. On March 4, 5 and 6 the third annual district basketball tournament was held at Oakes. Lisbon defaulted the first game and E. H. S. defeated LaMoure, 22-5, thus getting into semi-finals. In this bracket Enderlin defeated Ellendale, 23-10, and in the consolation we were defeated by the flashy Sheldon team, 16-11. This gave us fourth place in the tournament. football Deam - 1936 PAGE 6 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017
