Ackert, once himself a member of the E. H. S. Band.

In the fall the Senior Band was organized as a marching band to lead school parades, to march and to play at football games, and to advertise the school. The entire band or the pep band, larger or smaller as the occasion permitted, played and marched at basketball games both at home and away. At the district basketball tournament at Edgeley, Ellendale High School Band was given the stage during the game, and the floor at the half. Using formations and maneuvers the band and twirlers won admiration and applause from everyone. Uniformed in cardinal and black with white the band makes a classy appearance on parade. Whenever needed, the marching band became a concert band playing in the District Festival, spring concert, at the indoor circus, at pep meetings, color ceremonies, and various other school and community programs throughout the year. In addition to regular band work, Mr. Ackert has trained instrumental solos and group perform- ers for school and community programs, a colorful and impressive fanfare by selected brasses and drums to announce the entrance of the Oompiah III Queen, and a smaller pep-band for special occasions. The pep-band ordinarily included: Clarinet — Ilene Fuller, Phyllis Christensen, Keith Sehert; Trumpet — Neil Smith, Jacques Roland; Baritone — Phyllis Fleming; Alto — Kenneth Isaak, Eunice DuRand; Trombone — John Blumer, Alden Johnson, Inga Mar- tin, Owen Amphlett; Bass — Ivan Benderwald; Drum and Cymbals — Lois Coleman, Malcolm Goddard, Doris Gee. Another feature in every band member’s life is the annual banquet given by their mothers. Nothing else is quite successful in holding the in- terest of the younger band members. At this sixth annual band banquet, April 30, Mr. E. C. Ingvalson was toastmaster. Toasts were given by Delores Dickinson, Bonnie Bowman, Neil Smith, Keith Sehnert, Victor Strand, Lois Coleman, Lois Merrick, and Phyllis Fleming. Appropriate vocal selections accompanied by Ilene Fuller and cheers led by Boyd Blumer punctuated the toasts. After the main talk of the evening by Floyd Ackert, the Intermediate and Junior Bands gave their concerts. At this time the new twirlers also performed.

S. have expanded this year. Because of the fine leadership of the faculty and the equally splendid cooperation of the stu- dents the various musical organizations have pro- gressed not only in point of numbers participating but also in the improved type of work done. Choral Music The glee clubs and mixed chorus under the com- petent direction of Miss Martha Buck have made very fine progress. At Christmas the entire chorus together with the upper-grade chorus and groups of singers from the intermediate grades gave a program of Christmas music. This program was given in the new audi- torium and was heard by an audience of over 400 people. Listeners agreed that it was one of the finest musical programs ever heard in Ellendale.

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
