HI- Y CLUB ELLENDALE Hl-Y CLUB The Ellendale Hi-Y Club was organized in Sep- tember, 1940, after a year of non-activity. The club has been made successful this year through the leadership of Mr. Ingvalson and work of members. The Hi-Y Club is an affliation of the Young Men ' s Christian Association organized for high school boys. The purpose of the Hi-Y as stated in the Hi-Y Con- stitution is : To create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian character. At the first meeting the officers for the year were elected: Merrill Hess, president; Douglas Houghton, vice president; Lloyd Strand, secretary and treasurer; and Charles Boyle, sergeant-at-arms. The following candidates were voted in as new members: Charles Bassett, Donald Heine, William Schandelmeier, Robert Mallon, Boyd Blumer, Ralph Griffin, Ernest Haberman, Milton Harm, Kenneth Isaak, Alden Johnson, Robert McMillan, Alvin Mar- vick, Erwin Mueller, Clarence Neuman, Raymond Ofstedal, Reuben Roehl, Paul Speidel, Owen Amph- lett, LaVern Boyle, Benjamin Graham, Randall Gra- ham, Llewellyn Lynde, Erwin Sand, Victor Strand and Harold Stucker. During the year the Hi-Y had discussions by members and a number of interesting guest speak- ers. These meetings proved to be both interesting and beneficial to the members. Highlights of the year for the Hi-Y Club were its joint meetings with other clubs. On December 4, the Hi-Y members were guests of the Y. M. C. A. at the N. I. A return meeting with the N. I. Group was staged on January 22. On January 20, the Ellen- dale Club accepted an invitation to attend a meet- ing of the Aberdeen Hi-Y. The Aberdeen Club visited us, March 26. The Hi-Y Club has had a successful year. It has provided its members with inspiration as well as en- joyment. We wish to thank the Senior class for the privilege of having our picture in the Microphone and to wish good luck to the Hl-Y Clubs of the future. ELLENDALE SUB-DEB CLUB The Ellendale Sub-Deb Club was organized Sep- tember 8, 1940. The Sub-Deb Club, a nation-wide or- ganization that creates clubs for teen-age girls, is explained in the Ladies ' Home Journal by Eliza- beth Woodward. The purpose of this organization is to teach girls how to be more friendly, how to find new interests, how to do things in a nicer way, and to think of others first. At the first meeting the officers were elected for a three-month’s term: Lorraine Stalcup, president; Ruby Sprouse, vice president; Lorraine Gibson, sec- retary and treasurer. The second-term election made Virginia Whelan, president; Lois Merrick, vice presi- dent; Lorraine Gibson, secretary and treasurer. During the year, the Senior Girl Scouts who joined the club took turns leading discussions on topics of interest to teen-age girls. The group held their meetings at the member ' s homes and had lots of good times. The Sub-Debs officially adopted “Further Fun as their motto. Highlights of the year for the Sub-Deb Club were the Annual Girl Scout Round-up, the Mother and Daughter Banquet, a farewell luncheon for Lorraine Stalcup, the presentation of table covers to the high school faculty for their afternoon teas, and a senior assembly program. The climax of the year was the completion of the First Class Requirement (Concluded on page 11) PAGE 8 1941 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017

FOOTBALL TEAM - 1940 FOOTBALL This fall some fifty-odd candidates responded to Coach Ehler’s summons to all boys interested in football. Douglas Houghton, Richard Dunphy, Boyd Blumer, Clarence Neumann, Milton Harm, and Mar- cena Jensen were the returning lettermen. These six men were to lead the team’s gridiron battles. Coach Ehlers had to work with light men of little experi- ence.

Next year Coach Ehlers should have a more experienced squad, and the 1941 team will be looking forward to their success. At the annual Mothers’ banquet the football let- ters were awarded. The lettermen were: Douglas Houghton, Merrill Hess, Charles Boyle, Richard Dunphy, Robert Bauer, Donald Heine, Walter Vom- hof, Mgr., Juniors: Jack Aberle, Ivan Benderwald, Boyd Blumer, Milton Harm, Marcena Jensen, Clar- ence Neumann, Alvin Marvick, Robert McMillan, Reuben Roehl, Laverne Wedell.

Returning lettermen were: Robert Bauer, Douglas Houghton, Boyd Blumer, Clarence Neumann, and Jack Aberle. Besides these boys Charles Boyle, Lavern Boyle, Raymond Aberle, and Benny Graham earned letters this year. The team lacked height, and experience. They started out rather successfully, but it turned out to be an unsuccessful season as far as coming out on to top end of the scoring was concerned. Kulm 21 Ellendale 23 Libson 38 Ellendale 18. V.

The cheering squad should be highly praised for sup- porting the team. It takes an A No. 1 cheering squad to keep on cheering a losing team, and there was just as much cheering if not more cheering for us than for any other team we played. And last, but not least, the Senior athletes want to extend their sin- cere appreciation to Coach Ehlers, who worked hard and faithfully with us.
