CHORAL MUSIC ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The processional of singers started at 8:00 o’clock. With the high school chorus serving as a nucleus, the entire group numbered over 200 voices, and included children from grades three to twelve inclusive. A fac ulty committee in charge of decorations and staging consisted of Mrs. Opal Brouillard, Mrs. Lemana Heckmann and C. H. Picken. A number of Christmas carols were used, but there were also special numbers by both high school and grade choral groups. Miss Martha Buck was in general charge of the program and directed the high school chorus. She was assisted by Mrs. Harriet Randall, who directed an upper grade group, and Mrs. Le- mana Heckmann, who had charge of the third, fourth, and fifth grade chorus. A group of high school girls coached by Miss Mina Onsrud read the Christmas story in unison. Janice Rime was the principal accompanist.

FOOTBALL Although Ellendale’s Football Team could not keep step with the record pace it had set last year, it did capture third place and was ranked among the outstanding teams in this district. The Cards got a late start in the football season, but the team was soon taken under con- trol by their new coach, Chuck Picken. Chuck Employed the tricky T-formation against his op- ponents at the beginning of the season, but later on combined this formation with the single wing formation. The backfield was about average in size and weight. The two hard-hitting line drivers, Nor- man Christensen and Warren Merrick, along with the other two fast and shifty backs, Bar- ton Slemmons and Ramon Rime, account for the steady gains made through and around the line. Although the passing offense, with either of the ends, Wayne Marrick or Darwin Whelan, re- ceiving the ball from any one of the backfield men, made large gains throughout the season, it was not as consistent as the driving backfield. We must also acknowledge the determination and fine work that the line did throughout the season. Although the line was comparatively light, Oakes was the only team that really hit harder than they, and the line made this up by using their brains with their brawn and turned the game into the closest and most ex- citing game of the season. The line was headed by Benny Lematta, Victor Steinwand, Charles Anderson, Daryl Thorpe and Verland Zinter. Sixteen letters were issued at the annual football banquet. The senior letter men that have completed their fine football career were Wayne Merrick, Warren Merrick, Barton Slem- mons, Gerald Hill, and Verland Zinter. The jun- Page 10 iors were Norman Christensen, Benny Lematta, Victor Steinwand, Ramon Rime, Merlyn Bauder, Daryl Thorpe, and Sebastian Tuchscher, and the Sophomores were Darwin Whelan, Charles An- derson, Harold Aberle, and Freddie Retzlaff. An- other senior, Malcolm Goddard, was awarded a letter as student manager. Barton Slemmons was elected honorary cap- tain by the entire squad, while Wayne Merrick was elected honor athlete by the Lettermen.

This group has done much to add “zip” and color to our athletic events. Members of the team are: Iona Kuch, Myrna Wallace and Mardella Wedell, seniors; Barbara Schook, Irene Shimmin and Lorene Zimmerman, juniors; Lois Griffin, Betty Heipler, Betty Krieger, and Joan Meyer, sopho- mores. On “Recognition Day” held in May the twirl- ing pin was awarded Iona, Myrna and Mardella, who have all served on the team for three years or more. Iona Kuch deserves special mention as she has served as majorette during all these years and has done more than her share in instructing the younger girls who are learning the art of twirling. Freshmen girls who have been receiving in- struction this year are Betty Hagen, Nadine Jury and Lois Rowe. 1946 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017
