BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right: Wayne Merrick, M. Goddard (manager), O. Morrow, D. Mattheis, Warren Merrick,. E. King, K. Sehnert, B. Slemmons, R. Dillingham, M. Brouillard, J. Blumer, S. D. Slemmons (coach). Five letteimen reported for practice along with a large n Limber of other aspirants. The lettermen were Orrin Morrow, Howard DeYapp, Bob Dilling- ham, and John Blumer, with Ernest King reporting later. After two weeks of practice, Coach Slemmons cut the squad to prepare for the first game. Having nine good men, he was able to substitute freely with- out hurting the effectiveness of the team. Although the team was inconsistent throughout the season, playing good hall only at times, they were always in there trying. The year was high-lighted by the two victories over Oakes. The Cards defeated the Tornadoes on their home floor, and then in the conference game here, edged out the Oakes five in a thrilling over- time game. Those earning letters were Orrin Morrow, Ernest King, Keith Sehnert, Bob Dillingham, John Blumer, Monty Brouillard, Howard DeYapp, Wayne Merrick, Warren Merrick, and Barton Slemmons. Malcolm Goddard was awarded a letter as student manager. Headed by the cheer leaders, Dorothy Schmidt, Francis Gibson, and Shirley Neer, the student body gave excellent support to the team.

The Cards could not get going in the first half and were trail- ing 11-10 at the intermission. Coming back after the half, the Cards put on a rally that carried them to victory. In the semi-finals the next morning the Cards came through to defeat a strong Edgeley five in a close and exciting game. Thus Ellendale earned the right to play Oakes in the finals. Oakes advanced to the finals by beating a weak Kulm five Friday night, and then defeating a de- termined St. John’s quint in the semi-finals Satur- day morning. Ellendale was leading the Tornadoes by seven points in the third quarter Saturday night when the game was called off because of the slip- pery floor. In the replay of the game the following Monday night, the Oakes five had little trouble de- feating a dispirited Cardinal team. The Oakes bunch led at the half 23-16. The Cards came back strong in the second half, coming within two points of tying the score, but because of their let-down Saturday night could not keep up the pace. Oakes slowly increased their lead until they finally won 38-29. PAGE 9 1944 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017

Thirty-nine scouts are registered with the troop, morale has been high and interest and advancement has been excellent. More than ever before older boys in the senior high school have remained in the troop. Some of these boys have been rather inactive but they have always maintained a “service relationship” to the troop — willing to help when needed. Scoutmaster C. W. Seivert has given active ana devoted leadership assisted by E. C. Ingvalson, who has had special charge of the advancement program and records. Also responsible for making the troop “tick” are two student leaders, Keith Sehnert and Kenneth Muske, serving as Junior Assistant Scout- master and Senior Patrol Leader respectively. The latter was awarded the attendance pin for 1943. In December an air scout patrol was formed among the scouts in senior high school. Most of the members have attained the rank of “Appren- tice” and some will reach the rank of “Observer” before the end of the school year. There are three eagle scouts in the troop: Bob Dillingham, Keith Sehnert, Neil Smith.
