ONE-ACT PLAY TOURNEY Ihe annual one-act play tourney was held April 14 at Edgeley. The schools taking part were Ellen- dale, Oakes, Edgeley, and LaMoure. This tourney, an annual event, consists of the presentation of a one- act play by each of the schools participating and a criticism of the play given by a guest critic. Miss Onsrud selected as the Ellendale entry “The House Across the Way.” The people taking part in the play were Frances Walker as Kitty, Harold Col- lett as Jim, and Clinton Hess as the policeman. Mrs. T. W. Jackson, Jamestown College, acted as critic judge. MASONIC ORATORICAL CONTEST The oratorical contest sponsored by the North Dakota Masonic Lodge was given active support by the high school this year. The topic of the orations was “A Great Influence for American Democracy.” In the local contest held at Ellendale the following participated: Malcolm McDonald, James Miles, Ver- damae Smith, Clinton Hess, Gene Huber and Ernest Lees. Malcolm and James were selected to represent Ellendale in the district contest held at Oakes, March 27, and the latter was selected to represent the district in the regional contest to be held at Jamestown, April 24. Lilian Dobler placed third verse reading in the declamation division of the District Contests held in Ellendale this year. CHORAL MUSIC Music activity for 1938-39 was carried forward in both senior and junior high school with in- creased appreciation of this happiest of all fine arts. Our very capable director Miss Martha Buck, who has charge of the chorus work, was new in Ellen- dale High this year. With the aid of Miss Edna Bruns and Miss Frances Walker as accompanists, Miss Buck and her singers have given some very excellent programs. The boys’ and girls’ glee clubs 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. 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: Girls’ Chorus — Blanche Babcock, Virginia Beecher, Doris Bolstand, Janet Brouillard, Lillian Dobler, Gravce Duncan, Ger- trude Fey, Phyllis Fleming, Vivian Fleming, Eileen Fuller, Lorraine Gibson, Patricia Goddard, Helen Holmberg, Justine Heckman, Lillian Hillius, Gene Huber, Erma Irion, Esther Irion, Eva King, Jeanne Kusler, Esther Lematta, Inga Martin, Marjorie Meachen, Lois Merrick, Edythe Maunu, Dorothy Neer, Lily Schmitt, Ruby Sprouse, Esther Stern, Lorraine Stalcup, Francis Walker, Helen Walker, and Gene Wolfe.
