THE CHEERFUL MAN The difference between the cheerful fellow and the sad-eyed pessimist is not that the latter has m: VQ trouble than the former, but he bears it dif- ferently. Some men weep easily; others smile eas- ily. Some men seem to enjoy the sound of their own sighs, and they are never so happy as when they are thoroughly miserable; while others seem to get pleasure even out of hard work, and the laugh is never far distant from their merry dispo- sitions. There is a funny side to life, and they seldom miss it; there is an almost uninterrupted flood of melody sweeping round the world, and they seem to hear it constantly. This world is full of many different programs, angelic harmonies and devils’ dissonances; and we hear that which we tune in on. If you hear alone the screeching and the wailing, better give the knob another twist and hear the rapturous melodies which also are constantly afloat. Cheerfulness is profitable ; it is good business. The doleful doctor depresses the patient; the tear- ful traveler damages trade; the careworn clerk is a trial to the customer; the pessimistic preacher empties the pews. But the spirit of good cheer makes even the sorrowful feel brighter; it attracts customers; it inspires confidence, it helps the ap- petite; it enlivens the home; it makes the church a place of interest. It would be worth $10 a day to some men, and a thousand dollars a day to others, if they could only secure a cheerful outlook upon life. Beware of the blues! Youth is the time when optimists and pessimists are made. If you wish the world to bless you, better grow up cheerfully. o “SPEAK KINDLY” A wrathful word has never brought a joyful feeling to anybody. Quick temper is a sure har- bingei »f an early old age. Anger is a shock to the nervous system. Did you ever feel real angry at somebody or something at whom you directed angry words only to feel weak and dissipated afterward? That feeling of dissipa- tion was caused by the shock to the nervous sys- tem, Persons with high blood pressure who are subject to angry spells oftentimes suffer from bursted blood vessels. It does not pay to be angry. Try to speak gently when you are disturbed. It will bring results where anger would fail. A kindly word is good medicine both to the speaker and the listener. o A little learning is not a dangerous thing unless its possessor mistakes it or tries to pass it off for great learning. In these days, when any serious kind of labor calls for unstinted devotion of the worker’s time and olrength, it is evidently impracticable for average busy people to make any thorough study of mar y subjects outside of the routine of their re- quired work. One is consequently often reduced to choice between slight knowledge and none at all. There can be no question that a little is better than nothing. o Education is not a charity but the best paying investment. -o- It is all right to be smart and to say smart things. 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017

Letter-men for this year are Walker, Hafner, Schook, Miles, Christianson, Carpenter. Summary of games: Ellendale 7 Jamestown 45 Ellendale 23 L isbon 25 Ellendale ...15 Oakes 18 Ellendale 18 V. C. Teachers Hi ... 17 Ellendale 20 LaMoure 15 Ellendale 28 Edgeley 11 Ellendale 23 Lisbon 25 Ellendale 19 LaMoure 17 Ellendale 15 Oakes 18 Ellendale 39 Barnard 20 TRACK It is too early in the season to say much about or make very definite prophesies about track. Only two letter-men were on hand this spring to form the nucleus of a track team, Boom in the broad jump and dashes and Hill in the 220 and 440. Wanaka, although he has not earned a letter, has had two years in the mile competition. Hafner, a Junior, has been working hard on the pole vault and should win a few ribbons this year. Schook has a good chance in the mile and is showing speed and form on the high hurdles. SENIOR ATHLETICS Scott Walker finally yielded to the “call” in football and came out in his Senior year, earned a place at tackle where he carried the power of an engine. He contributed to the morale of the team with his optimistic cheering of his team-mates. In basketball Scotty plays a snappy game. He breaks fast and can dribble well. Harlan Wanaka was captain of the football team this year. Small as he is, his pluck won for him the place of quarterback. His knowledge of signals and plays gained for him the confidence of his team- mates. His hard and accurate tackling made him a valuable man in backing up the line. In basketball “Skeets” has learned the essentials. In track he is a miler who makes them all step to catch him. William Bauer is a very good high jumper. Be- cause of his ranginess, Bill’s shooting under the basket is of a high average. He can out-jump any man on the squad. Howard Boom was rated as all-conference half- back in 1936 and won the local distinction of “Honor Athlete.” He hits the line like a cannon- ball and skirts the end like a comet. In basketball, though not spectacular, Boom plays tirelessly and dependably. Team-mates find him very easy to play with. In track he is a very good 440 and 220 man. Burwell Leet’s drive and dependable line-play make him a valuable asset in the forward wall. He has the speed and grit to give const ant worry to the enemy line. John Dunphy has. had a man’s sized job as stu- dent manager. He is always on the job and does not shirk his duties. His good humor and efficient work has meant much to the teams this year. Another year has passed and another eventful, dramatic period is nearing completion. During the year many students have had a chance to participate in some phase of drama. Op- portunity has been given to participate in declama- tion, plays and other forms of dramatic activity. High school plays and declamations serve to get the student acquainted with an audience, and also to develop their talent. “I Will, I Won’t!” This all high school play was presented Novem- ber 20 and 21. The proceeds went to the Juniors to finance the Junior-Senior banquet. The play was an artistic as w ell as a financial success. The cast of characters was as follows: Dr. Anthony King, a school doctor ....Donald Rekow Mr. Howard, a lawyer Oscar Roehl Carney Underwood, jr., a man about town Robert Maercklein Elliot Fletcher, a man about school ..John Jackson Lucille Owen, a co-ed Joan Stephens, her cousin Frances DuRand Glad Howard, a co-ed Thelma Bolstad Mrs. Stevens, Lucille’s grandmother Miriam Crabtree Dean Willis, dean of the school Ruth Matheis Georgette, a maid ordinary — diplomat extra- ordinary Imogene Jury Senior Declamation Contest This year two programs in declamation work were given.
