ZHigh School J and The Ellendale High School Band, now under the able direction of Mr. Sheppard, has made great prog- ress since its first organization fourteen years ago. Last fall it was decided that the band needed uniforms. However, this called for money; so a carnival was planned. This OOMPAH, as it was called, was held on February 13, and was a great success. The big event of the year was the annual con- cert held March 31, and it was here that the new uniforms were initiated. The uniforms consist of capes and caps which are cardinal and black, the school colors. With these are worn white slacks, white shirts, and black ties. The program for the concert was composed of the following numbers: America arr. Panella Prestissimo K. L. King Hall of Fame Olivadoti Mighty Lak’ a Rose Nevin (Trumpet Solo — Neil Smith) The Plains of Peace D’Auvergne Barnard (Trombone Solo — John Blumer) Drummers’ Delight Edwards Pride O’ the Land Goldman Moonlight on the Nile K. L. King Queen City Weidt Pomposo A1 Hayes (Sousaphone Solo — Lowell Hamar) Bag o’ Bones — Trombone Novelty Clayton Mills Iron Count K. L. King Washington Post Sousa Star Spangled Banner arr. Panella Besides playing at a number of basketball games the band also appeared at the Dickey County Play Festival and the Senior play, “Jane Eyre.” DICKEY-LAMOURE BAND FESTIVAL An annual event that is stimulating to band ac- tivity is the four-school band festival, which was held in Ellendale this year. Represented in the festival are the school bands of Edgeley, LaMoure, Oakes and Ellendale. As in the past three years Mr. J. A.

During these years the club has been built up through the good leadership of Superintendent Ingvalson and the cooperation of the members. The Hi-Y Club is in affiliation with the Young Men’s Christian Association. It is a club for boys of high school age. The Hi-Y Club has a constitu- tion governing all its phases. It has a purpose — “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian charac- ter.” The Hi-Y has for its platform — clean speech, clean scholarship, clean athletics, clean living, con- tagious Christian character. Our club uses as its own “A Boy’s Prayer” by Wm. DeWitt Hyde — “Give me clean hands, clean words, and clean thoughts. Save me from habits that harm; teach me to work as hard and play as fair in thv sight as if the whole world saw; forgive me when I am unkind and help me to forgive these who are unkind to me. Keep me ready to help others at some cost to myself ; send me chances to do some good every day and so grow more like Christ.” At the first meeting of the new school year, held on September 23, 1938, the members voted to con- tinue the club and new officers were elected: Harold Smith, president; Clifford Schmierer, vice president; James Meachen, secretary -treasurer ; and Harold Rowe, sergeant-at-arms. At the meeting held September 30, 1938, candi- dates Arthur Schmitt, Ralph Merkel, Charles Hatcher, Karl Sand, Douglas Houghton, Merrill Hess, and Evert Maunu were voted in as new members. Throughout the first semester the discussions were taken up by leaders and enlarged upon by the mem- bers. A meeting was planned to be held with the Aberdeen Hi-Y Club. Shortly before the semester closed another election was held with Lloyd Strand, Clinton Hess, Oliver Tveit and Charles Boyle being voted in. In January, 1939, the new officers were elected — President, James Miles; vice president, George Radtke; secretary-treasurer, Ernest Lees; and ser- geant-at-arms, Vernon MacDonald. In this semester, a ping-pong tourney was played with Rolla DuRand coming out as champion on March 8, the final games being played at a party held after an induction ceremony. On March 13 a meeting was held with Aberdeen’s club in their Y. M. C. A. building. The meeting started with a swim in the Y pool, after which came supper and a meeting with talks and discussion. In a local meeting on March 2, 1939, plans were discussed for attending the international conference at Winnepeg, Manitoba, on April 7. Because of the cost of transportation, no members attended this meeting. However, this brings to mind the interna- tional convention held at Fargo last year which sev- eral of our members attended. All in all, I believe the Ellendale Hi-Y Club has had a very successful year. We have had good, cheerful times as well as serious, thoughtful mo- ments. We are happy to have our picture in this year’s Microphone, and are thankful to the Senior class for giving us this opportunity. PAGE 7 1939 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017
