Music edu- cation in high school is often the beginning of a greater appreciation for one of the greatest arts and provides a pleasant outlet for en- thusiasm and emotions. 1 i i CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The annual Christmas program, under the direction of Miss Martha Buck, was held in the auditorium on December 19, 1946. About 200 stu- dents from grades three to twelve inclusive participated. Miss Buck was in charge of the intermediate and unner trades, and the high school groups, while Miss Evelyn Strain directed the lower grade group. Accompanists were Janice Rime at the piano and Mary Jean Donahe at the reed organ. Miss Rime served as ac- companist for both boys’ and girls’ glee clubs throughout the year. A faculty committee composed of Mrs. Brouillard, Mrs. Heckmann, Mr. Picken, and Page 8 Mr. Sheppard decorated the stage in a tradi- tional Christmas setting. Miss Onsrud was in charge of the choral reading group, and Mr. Sheppard of the brass section. With the high school chorus in the spotlight the following program was presented: Prelude .

This year two groups, the senior band and a be- ginners’ group, have been working diligently under the capable direction of Mr. Wilbur Shep- pard. There has been steady improvement in both groups. The senior band has a membership of 15; the beginners’ band, 39. The senior band has made several public appearances includ- ing performances at basketball games. The annual Dickey-LaMoure Band Festival was held at Edgely this year. On April 25, the Ellendale, Edgeley, and Oakes bands partici- pated. There were two intensive practice periods held, one in the morning and one in the after- noon. In the evening the following program was given: Normal March . Bennett Iron Count Overture K. L. King Chapel Shrine Chester Leoni Special Number Prince and Pauper Overture Harold M. Johnston Merry Widow Franz Lehan Special Number Magic Garden K. L. King Trombone Toboggan .... Ernest Weber Determination Overture Hayes His Honor March Henry Tillmore The directors were Miss Kathleen Huntly of Ed£eley. Mr. W. B. Myrum of Oakes, and Mr. Wilbur Sheppard of Ellendale. The Senior Band consists of the following: trumpets — Robert Schonberger, Gerald Nelson, Eugene Krieger. Kenneth Pierce; clarinets — Joan Randall, Ella Steinwand, Peggy Walleen; horn — Joan Bell; trombones — Keith Pierce, Paul Kern; drums — Danny Slemmons, Ardys Ander- Page 1 ' ) son; baritone — Dauna Bell; and bass — Melvin Wanttie, Lorene Zimmerman. The following are members of the Junior Band: trumpets — Michael Hermansen, Robert Crabtree, Stanley Kern, Douglas Bell, Lowell Ed- wards, Marvin Babcock, Eddie Sterns, Blondell Zimmerman, Mary Ann McClellan, Dell Nelson, Elinore Christenson, Helen Sharp, LeRoy Maier, Peggy Hatfield; clarinets — Delbert Nelson, Delta Martin, Karen McShane, Kay Crabtree, Shirley Vick, Betty Houghton, Esther Schaller, Joyce Evans; saxaphones — Rene Olson, Joan Bell, Larry Wilbur, Jackie Helder; trombones — Law- rence Beaver, Larry Cutler; horns — Calvin Vick, Grace Bell, Patrick Ashmore, Marilyn Rowe; drums — Marilyn Newan, Joyce Nicholaison, Lorna Mock, James Billey; baritones — James Brandenburger, Victor Jording; and bass horn — Kenneth Kempf. i i i TWIRLING The follownig girls are twirlers: Majorette - Celia Roessler, sophomore; Seniors - Barbara Schook. Gloy Jenkins; Juniors - Joan Meyer, Betty Kruger, Marilynn Strand, Lois Griffin, Betty Hiepler, Francis MacShane; Sophomores - Joan RandaU, Mable Schaller, Ann Slemmons, Nadine Jury; Freshmen - Verdean Bendewald, Joyce Hill, Maiorice Wright, Jeanette MacShane, Darlene Hatfield. As we all know, the twirlers of 1946 and 1947 did not accomplish much. This was due to the fact that they did not have enough uniforms, but as it looks now they will have their uni- forms by Memorial Day. So by next year the twirlers will be able to take a more active part in school activities. 1947 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017 football In winning the Southeastern Conference Championship, this year’s football team set a record unequaled by any previous Cardi- nal eleven. No opponent was able to cross the Redbirds’ goal line. In fact no oppon- ent got within the 25 yard line while the Cardinal first eleven was on the field. Coach Chas. Picken called practice two weeks before school started. There were about 28 men who reported for practice regularly during the season. There were eleven lettermen returning. They were V. Steinwand, D. Thorpe, N. Christensen, B. LeMatta, R. Rime, M. Bauder, S. Tuchscher, D. Whelan, H. Aberle, R. Retzlaff, and C. Anderson. They presented an abundance of material for Coach Picken to work with. Coach Picken used the single wing forma- tion. This offense proved very effective through-out the season. Darwin Whelan and Fred Retzlaff re- peatedly drove for large gains through the line. S. Tuchscher skirted the ends almost at will. H. Aberle and C. Aberle alternated at the Quarterback position. The heavy line composed of V. Steinwand, D. Thorpe, W. Bauder, N. Christensen, B. LeMatta, R. Rime and C. Anderson presented an im- pregnable stone wall that stopped every attempt made by the opposition. Norman Christensen should be given credit for his interception of the lateral in the Oakes game which proved to be the winning touchdown. Coach Picken, the lettermen, and stu- dent manager, Bob Adams, were presented with miniature gold footballs by the Ad- vertising Association at a banquet given by them. The guest speaker was Mylo Jack- son, head football coach of the Aberdeen High School. At the annual Football Banquet given by the mothers, the following boys were given letters: Seniors — V. Steinwand, D. Thorpe, N. Christensen, R. Rime, B. Le- Matta, W. Bauder, M. Bauder, S. Tuchscher, P. McShane; Juniors — D. Whelan, F. Retz- laff, H. Aberle, C. Aberle, C. Anderson, K. Pierce; Sophomores — P. Retzlaff, J. Flolo Bob Adams was also given a letter as Stu- dent Manager. Victor Steinwand was elect- ed Honorary Captain by the lettermen, and Norman Christensen was voted Honor Ath- lete by the entire squad.

Second row: Coach Picken, Retzlaff, Steinwand, Christensen, Lematta, Tuchscher, Adams, manager. The Ellend ale High School basketball team does not boast as glorious a season as they did last year, but on the whole the season proved to be successful. Although the Cards won only twelve of the twenty-three games they played this season, the ones they did lose proved to be thrillers with the Cards losing by a margin of only a very few points. The team won two more trophies this year, one for first place in the Kulm Invitational and the other for third place in the District Three Tourney at Lisbon. The players awarded letters this year were Keith Pierce, Norman Christensen, Daryl Thorpe, Ramon Rime, Darwin Whelan, Harold Aberie, Fred Retzlaff, and Sebtstian Tuchscher.

Some of us have come up together from the first grade. Many from the country have joined us and have readily found a place in school life. During our freshman and sophomore years we came to know hard study, we became more active in music, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities. The last two years have found our lives centered even more around the school. We have lived and learned together. Now, we are about to leave our alma mater. We shall carry with us a wealth of happy memories of school parties, basketball games, plays, the prom, school romances and everything else that goes to make up a rich, full high-school life. We shall miss our school and our teachers who have so patiently and willingly guided us in our quest for knowledge. But it is with eagerness that we go out into the world of 1947, for we have a job to do, we have a peace to win, we have a world to build, and we have a country and a Cod to serve. R. M.
