Coleman Museum 2017 48 5 D20 September, 1944, found forty-eight green freshmen eagerly enrolling for the first day of four eventful years of high school. We really filled the little junior high assembly, for we in- creased our eighth grade enrollment by eighteen. As freshmen we were not much different from other first-year high school classes in that the most of that firet-year was spent becoming acquainted with the routine of higher education. At the close of that year we started a tradition with our class, a yearly picnic at Weber ' s Gulch near Forbes. It has always seemed to top off the fun we ' ve had together during the year in classrooms. Our sophomore year found us getting off to a good start in the senior assembly after surviving a most brutal initiation conducted by the seniors. As sophomores we recovered from our bewilderment enough to take a more active part in the annual Oompah Carnival. This was the only year that our candidates for king and queen, Lois Griffin and Freddie Retslaff , were elected. Forty-one confident juniors returned to E. H. S. to make our third year a very eventful one. Since there was no carnival. Miss Onsrud directed us in a play called Girl Shy. Having thus raised enough money to pay for the Junior-senior prom, we carried out our Dutch theme very effectively. Our ruby eetted class rings acquired this year created a mild sensation through- out the school. With a triumphant feeling of succes at having reached the last year of high school, thirty-five seniors moved into the two rows of seats by the senior assembly windows. Not being satisfied with given title of Mighty Seniors, we had to prove our superiority by initiating the sopho- mores. Having thus established ourselves, we proceeded to take advantage of our poeition and enjoy one of the best years of our lives. Cu r senior year was glorification of all our years in high school. We elected Lois Griffin for our president, Charles Anderson for vice president, Danny Schneck for secretary-treasurer, and Supt. Ingvalson and Miss Norell for advisors. Under such leadership we successfully spon- sored school partiee and other activities. One of our entertainment productions was a Sadie Hawkins Day party in which the girls were escorts. This, of course, was only one of the many parties we sponsored. Our athletic class shared in eleven major football and basketball championships which were won during our four years in high school. As seniors we had eleven football lettermen and six basketball lettermen. Darwin Whelan was a four year lettermen in both football and basketball and Murray Brown, our senior addition from California, had four letters in basketball. The girls, who were able basketball players, took part in a twirling organization; five of them received pins for three years of performing. Two class member received charms for four years of band work, eighteen were active in glee club, which was one of the school ' s best activities, and a number took part in speech and musical festivals. Six students were given membership in th Keystone Honor Society. Of course, we can not forget our studies. We have been fortunate in having an excellent faculty to guide and teach us in a fine variety of courses. Special mention should be given to Miss Onsrud and Mrs. Albert Strand who have not only given us excellent instruction but also inspir- ation to succeed. The other teachers should be conmended for their patience and consideration with us. We should be thankful for the foundation that has been given us that we might confi- dently face the future. 1948 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017 48 5 i H 2 0 0 (Plate ' PiopAecy The year is I960 and we are taking an imaginary trip around the country visiting our classmates. First stop is at Aberkeen, South Dakota at a well-known drugstore, Wallgreen ' s. To our amazement the waitress is Diane Hess who has been working there for ten years. As we walk out the door a newsboy is shouting Extra. 1 EstraJ Aberle brothers paralyze the nation. We buy a paper and find out that Charles, the youngest brother, has called a strike of his United Ditch Diggers union. Harold, a Republican Senator, is filibustering in the Senate. Farther back in the paper, we see the comic strip Fearless Fosdic now being drawn by Iver Nelson after A1 Capp went nuts. On another page is a large ad sponsored by Charles Anderson, who has all ready made his first million. The ad reads, Win $15,000. Complete this line in twenty-five words or less. ' Charles Anderson is a better dancer than Arthur Murray because . Taking a bus from Aberdeen, we soon pass the University of South Dakota. On that campus there is found a plaque naming all those who have been faculty members ten years. Ahai We find a familiar name: Professor of History, Jerry Hermansen. Going farther south we strike Omaha, the heart of the cow country. The national Rodeo is showing, so let ' s go]. ' The reason for this is very plain. Buffalo Buzz Whelan is in the saddle and ready to go. Not much further south, in Kansas City, we are surprised tc find Orryn Heine starring with the Harlem Globe Trotters. We are still going along the smooth blacktop when, all of a sudden, a squad of little gadgets are spotted buzzing along the highway. It must be the newly organized F. B. M. P. In other words, Federal Bureau of Motorscooter Police. In the lead with red cap streaming, is the squad leader Danny Schneck. Finally, we hit the Gulf of Mexico, where we run into a gaily lighted little hotspot called Club 24 (24 for 24 hour service). This is the place we have been looking for because two of our classmates are operating here. Sure enough, we find seated at a large desk, co-owners Ida Bollinger and Margaret Tuuri. Now, because we ' ve gotten as far South as we can, lets turn East, should we? Our first stop is Memphis. We are shocked when we see a sign which has a picture of Ardys Johnson running for tax collector of the city. My these 48 graduates] On our way to Montgomery, Alabama, we stop to pick up a hitchhiker. What a surprise to find it to be Keith Pierce. He says he is slumming, but we wonder. At Miami, Florida , we are visiting the crowning of Miss Florida, the bathing beauty. Ellis Nell certainly looks flattering in a two-piece bathing suit, doesn ' t he. Now we ' ll go to Key West to see the famous gambling ships. As we walk in the door we see Adeline Schnaidt just bouncing Melvin Wanttie overboard for having an ace up his sleeve. Raleigh, North Carolina is our next stop. We are certainly shocked to find Joan Meyer to be the auctioneer (tobacco) at the auction. At the White House in Washington we find the first woman president, Beverley Kern, busily writing a .message to Congress. Before we leave Washington we need some gasoline. Doesn ' t that person at the filling station .look familiar. Why, of course, it ' s Ruth Hokana lubricating a car. New York City with its many night clubs is our next stop. At the Stork Club we find Bernice Brandenburgeiwea ring a slinky black evening gown and romantically singing the torch song I can ' t get my foot off the rail. More power to you, Bernice. Now to talk over old times with Betty Hiepler, owner and manager of the If-you ' ve-got-any-cares-come-in-and-drowned-them- club. At a boxing match in Madison Square Garden we find Slugger Marilyn Strand fighting Lefty Evelyn Shimmin in a fight for the heavy weight championship. Next, we arrive at Boston where we are directed to the office of Eleanir Wallace who has gained the respect of the Bostonians of Beacon Street, as president of the Lonely Hearts Club. On our way back home, we ' ll go through Buffalo where we are just in time to attend the fourth wedding of Floy Kosel. (The first three died of mysterious causes after taking our $100,000 in insurance.) Then at the outskirts of Buffalo we find LcJune Gebhardt taking pictures of cows for the Borden Company. Detroit, Michigan, has two surprises for us. Murray Brown is designing jet propelled kiddy cars and Lois Griffin is designing trucks for the Studebaker Company. On to Chicago and the famous Chicago Sun newspaper is calling a shipment of diamonds were smuggled into the country by a mysterio.us blonde girl . This girl was none other than Betty Krieger. At Peoria we are attracted to the court room where Elizabeth Zinter is residing over a court of human relations. Now as we drive along, our radio announces that the winner of the Bing Crosby runner-up contest is Freddie Retzlaff. Walter Winchell, also announced that Robert LeMatta, who is running a close second to Tommy Manville, is just marrying his eleventh wife today. Now ' into Minnesota, our North Dakota neighbor, we travel straight to Minneapolis. There we find Lillie Mayer is a very efficient street car conductor. As we are so near St. Paul we might as well stop at the Montgomery Ward Company. There ' s Pearl Zahn modeling overalls. They look so nice let ' s buy two pair. As we leave Minnesota we keep getting closer to home. As we drive by Guelph, we wave to Frances McShane, who is running a large chicken farm there. Some people give us the impression that a person goes out in life and just takes up whatever occupation is handy for him. However, we believe our classmates will help to prove that this idea is wrong and that each person in the world can find an occupation that is different and interesting. 1948 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017 48 5 D 20 70ett We the seniors of Ellendale high school, being of unsound mind after four years of dire suffering do hereby will and bequeath the following: Charles Aberle to Lawrence Kelly— his ardent love for football.

COKIAH CARNIVAL The juniors sponsored another school carnival this year which was bigger and better than any before and included many new attractions plus the usual ones.

However, the results were excellent anr the proceeds of the carnival were used for school equipment. The entertainment of the evening included all all-school program: a one-act play, a dance in the little gym, wrestling and boximg exhibitions, a continuous movie, a lunch at the Roof Garden, and the crowning of the king and queen — BETTY BAUDER (queen) MARVIN GRIFFIN (king) of the sophomore class.

W ?! 3 00 The Sophomores joined the ranks of senior high by an initiation October 8, which officially announced them tc this new height. They wore clothes of various herita -e and carried out their antics through- out the entire day. All sophs were compelled to chew a large hunk of wax at all times, carry a brush to shine the seniors shoes, and offer candy to any senior who asked for it, A party high-lighted the hilarious day with sophs as the star performers. An unrehearsed mock wedding climaxed the main events which consisted of boxing exhibitions, humorous readings, political speeches and various demonstrations. Dancing and haines concluded the hectic day. The sophs were swell sports and are looking forward to their day of revenge. On May 4, a candy and cookie sale was held in the General Electric Window by the Sophomore Class. Its rurpose was to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet of 1949.

She has a good husban, beautiful children, and great wealth, but she is tired of life. She maintains that she has no friends; no one understands her. The doctor has a girl come in, an ingenue, to enact a little play to show the woman how much she has; how fortunate she is.

The plot revolved around Phyllis Nolan, a young girl of twenty, who had ideals. The story dealt with the problems and con- ditions that confront the modern young woman in every day life. If she has high ideals and a conscience, she is bound to have a serious con- flict with various conditions one is almost certain to meet in everyday life. Phyllis Nolan was called upon to make a decision whereby her own happiness could be secured only through the sacrifice of certain interests of her father. How she met the difficulty and also fought for the honor of her ideals of right living was told in the charming comedy The Valiant One. Additional humor was added by Edith Empire, Phyllis ' s traveling companion; Mrs. Raymond who had a daughter Hay, who thought everything was just to cah-ute, and a son T. D., who was very fond of himself; Fannie Nolan, who is fearful of her husband. Judge Nolan, and John McFarlan, the local boy who finally made good.

Now that we have reached graduation after twelve years of school, it doesn ' t seem possible that we have passed that glorious and envied period called HIGH SCHOOL, which only a few years ago we thought to be eternities away. Vie must realize, however, that we have attended our last day of classes, sponsored our last school party, sung in our last choral festival, and played our last football and basketball games for Kllendale High School. It is with mingled regret and happiness that we leave £. H. S. and come a little nearer self-dependence. As we depart we have a multitude of treasures to take with us that will help us confidently to face a trying future. Thanks to a fine group of considerate, capable and understanding teachers and to provident and devoted parents, we the class of ' 48 should be able to fulfill our duty to our home, our country, and our Laker.
