Of the thirty-two first graders who started in ‘37 in Ellendale, only nine — Mary Jean Donahe, Marion Gehring, Floyd Mattheiee, Pearl Mneller, Joan Randall, Palmer Retzlaff, Ann SlesBoons, Dorothy Steinwand, and Kenneth Pierce — have remained to the end. The rest of the present senior class have Joined these, either in the grades or in high school. After going through the usual trials and tribulations of elementary pupils— quarrels, pranks, and punishments, appearing in concerts scrubbed and shining in new white dresses and ribbons, long pants and bow ties — they finally entered Junior High School, with Mr. Oxton as their teacher. The freshman enrollment was 49 students, one of the biggest freshman classes yet. They had a good year with lots of parties and lots of learning that was to help them through th rest. As green sophomores they entered Senior High with Mrs. Strand as their adviser, and were duly initiated. Their enrollment went down to 45 that year. The following year as juniors they sponsored a really big prom and banquet. They entertained their guests in the new gym. We decorated half of the gymnasium with our theme as the Mardi Gras, and Johnny Cacavas and his orchestra provided the music. The banquet was held in the Methodist Church basement, the Methodist ladies preparing the meal and a group of sophomore girls serving it. We put on the first Fun Feat which was a smashing success. Miss Ons rud was our advisor. The enrollment was 44. In September, as seniors we entered school with a new dignity befitting our class- ification. Our enrollment stands now at 35, since we lost several old faces during the last years. As class officers we elected Dolores Provost, president, Verna McShane, vice-president, Joan Randall, secretary, and Paul Kern, treasurer. Mr. Ingvalson was our class adviser. Some of the big jobs of the year were taking over the Cardinal Staff, another successful Fun Fest, the Senior Class Play and the Microphone. Our candidates for king and queen, Joan Randall and Maurice Huber, won over the other excellent candidates and reigned over the annual Oompah. We will always be grateful to our parents and teachers for making it possible for us to arrive at this juncture of our educational career, and so with mingled sadness and rejoicing, we bid you Au Revoir. ■n o From E.H.S. we Seniors go Into the world in which we grow. To bravely face its toils and cares; And in the future climb the stairs That lead us to success and right. We are the class who always tried To by the codes and rules abide And in our hearts we always knew That it was in this school we grew To learn to help our fellow men. In these four years we ' ve seen the strife That’s found in every student’s life. But when our work at last was done The Senior Class of 49 Felt proud of its accomplishments. We ' ve made new friends while we were here; They ' ve helped us through each single year. Our teachers taught us how to meet The good, the bad, the indiscreet Without a pause or backward step. Our days were always filled with funl We struggled, played — at last we won The greatest honor that could be For now and all eternity — The thrill of graduation. G5 0 3 1 7 5 In 1959 our class of 1949 was scheduled to have a reunion, but no one came except Shirley King, Floyd Mattheis, and myself, Ardys Anderson. The reason we got there was because we lived in Ellendale where the reunion was to be held. After a short talk, Floyd got the bright idea, since the rest of the class couldn ' t come to the reunion, we would go to see them, providing we girls paid his way, as he was financially embar- rassed at the present, being only the janitor in the post office. Since Shirley and I were joint owners of a transcontinental airline, we decided it wouldn ' t be so much of an expense to take an old classmate along. Our first stop was Billings, Montana, where we ran into Violetta Brown at the imfor- mation bureau at the airport. (Violette-always airminded l) We spent the night at Harold Beecher ' s dude ranch a little south of town. After a pleasant visit there, we left for Seattle, Washington, where we visited Maurice Huber, vho was modeling men ' s clothes in a department store there. While we were there, we turned on the radio only to hear one of our classmate ' s voice booming out, One, two, three, four, on your toes, chest out, shoulders back, etc. After a while the voice said, � This is Vivian Heil, telling all you chubby ladies who want to lose your excess fat to listen in again tomor- row when I again broadcast my daily exercises, same time, same station. The nest day we went into a dimestore to buy some toothpaste and while at the counter, we heard someone let out a loud burst of laughter. Turning around, we saw Nadine Jury laughing just as she used to in English class. She was demonstrating a new type of potato peeler. That afternoon we were off to Los Angeles, California. When we arrived we picked up one of the local newspapers. There on the front page wae Verna McShane ' s daily column, Advice to the Lovelorn . We looked her up and she told us many interesting things that had happened to her and her family. She said Palmer Retzlaff had a little business of his own but would not tell us what it was. She gave us his address and suggested we find out for ourselves. We were very curious and you can imagine our surprise when we saw the sign on his building 1 It read: Retzlaff Builds Men Out of Weaklings . We went in and had a little talk with him about old times. That evening we went to the movie, You Told Me No . To our surprise we found Tearl Mueller playing the leading role. (That of a dope f lend J) Her acting was superb. We wanted to visit her but our bus was scheduled to leave in an hour. In Hollywood, we stopped in at the Chicago Dirty Sox ' training camp where we conversed with Ernie Woodward, who is their playing manager this year. As we left the training can?), we came across Dorothy Tuchscher, who had taken over Hedda Hopper ' s job of writing all the things that go on in the society of Hollywood. The next day we were off to Austin, Texas, where we visited Joan Bell, the head of Arthur Murray ' s dancing studio in that city. She told U3 that the Ringless Brothers Circus was at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and that it was such an extraordinary performance that we ought not miss it. We, therefore left that afternoon so we would be able to take in the evening show. When we got there, we noticed Rodney Hermansen scrubbing the elephants so we didn ' t disturb him. Later we saw him barking at a side show to get a little business. We went into a side show and there found Violet Haase, who was adver- tised as the tatooed lady. You can imagine our surprise when we saw Mable Schaller dressed in a sorong with long hair flowing behind her in Dorothy Lamour fashion. We heard a terrific commotion outside and everyone rushed from the tent to the lions cage. There was Darlene Hatfield, the greatest lion tamer of all time, flat on her back with a lion all set to chew an arm off. By this time we were pretty much fed up with the circus so we left, not knowing whether Darlene has one arm or two I Maybe there isn ' t any Darlene anymore, who knows? Off we started for Miami, Florida. While at the beach we heard someone barking swimming instructions to a class of beginners. We went in that direction adn found that it was Delores Provost. She told us that she and Betty Pahl had an apartment in Miami and that Betty was a stenographer in an insurance company, and very much in love with her boss. But he was married so that let her out. Traveling north to Atlantic City, Georgia, the following day, we stopped in for the coronation of Miss America, who was none other than our own Mary Jean Donahe. After the ceremonies, we noticed a familiar figure directing traffic at the intersection. As we drew near, we saw that it was Roy Widmer, a member of the Atlantic City Folice Force. 1949 Ellendale High School Yearbook Coleman Museum 2017 G5 0 3 Continuing our journey north to our nation ' s capital, we visited Rayma Bartels, North Dakota ' s first woman representative in Congress. In New York we visited Ann Slemmona, the noted author of the current best seller, How To Get Your Man . Shirley and I read the book but we are still single J We left for Chicago the next day. It was Saturday and the streets were crowded so we went right to the Steven ' s Hotel to rest a little. We had just entered the elevator when the elevator operator turned around and greeted us. Who was it? Marion Gehring. She told us she had. given up her search for her ' one and only ' and was happy at her present job. That evening a very exciting thing happened J Floyd put his shoes outside the door, like he does every night, and someone stole them. The next day when he discovered the theft, he called the house detective, and who should it be but Evelyn Martin. He im- mediately brought her into our room and we all began firing questions at her. We did find out that she was carrying on with the chef of the hotel! The next day, Sunday, we decided to go to church and since the three of us wanted to go to our respective churches, we decided we ' d walk straight east and go to the first one we came to. It happened to be the Evangelical Church and you can imagine our surprise when we saw our old classmate Roland Voegeli in the rostrum J We only had time to shake his hand and say just a few words while passing out after the services. Going north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we found Betty Hagen as principal of a high school there. After a chat with her we started on our last lap of the journey. Minneapolis was our next stop. There we looked up Virgil Erdelt who was now manager of the Randall Company Chain Stores in Minnesota and the Dakotas. His fiance, Joan Randall, he told us, was on a road trip, singing with Stan and his Country Boys. We said good-bye and headed for Fargo. While we were eating lunch in the airport, we ran onto Paul Kern. He told us he was operating a summer resort in the Black Hills. The name of it was: Kem-McShane Resort . We didn ' t have to ask any more questions about that situation! We then got off again and were heading toward Ellendale. Suddenly the engine of our plane started sputtering and we had to make a forced landing. Luckily enough it was about a mile out of Lisbon so Shirley, Floyd and I, learning that it would take three hours to fix the plane, walked into town. Cf all people we meet, down the street comes Janice Rime. She informed us that she teaches music in high school there, and also Kenneth Pierce coached there. She said Kenneth was married and had two little ones. When we got through talking to her it was time to be heading for home. We hired a car to take us to the plane and were soon on our way once more. As we drew near home, Shirley suggested that we fly over the home of Corinne Stark. So we did. She had a chicken farm with her husband a little way from Merricourt. (Chickens weren ' t the only things she was raising, by the looks of her clothes line! ) Continuing on south, we flew over the home of Dorothy Steinwand Bobbe. Well, well, there was Dorothy herself hanging out clothes. It looked as if she was giving Corinne a little competition. Too bad we couldn ' t talk with her but I imagine that she was too busy anyway. We reached Ellendale and after planning to meet again sometime for a long visit, Shirley, Floyd and I parted and went back to our respective careers, intent upon seeing our classmates again some time.

OOMPAH CARNIVAL The Oompah Carnival, sponsored by the Junior class, was held on Friday evening, November 12, 1948, with Mr. Willard Lindquist and Mr. Ray Shelver as co-chairmen. Although this year ' s carnival followed the general plan of previous Oorapahs, there were several interesting and new attractions. This year the king and queen contest was strictly a popularity contest. Each person attending the carnival was entitled to cast one vote for their favorite candidate the night of the carnival. Both junior and senior high raffled off articles under the auspices of each class. A very good program was given b. the grades early in the evening and the climax of the c rnival cane with the crowning of Joan Randall and Maurice Huber, members of the senior class, as queen and king. The spending of the funds derived from the carnival will be the responsibility of a committee of faculty members and students. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Spring Serenade was the theme used at the annual Junior-Senior i rom which was held on May 12. Light blue streamers, colored lights, and pink roses were used as the decorations in the new hym. After the ban- quet, which w.s prepared by the Catholic church basement. Bill Klita and his orchestra furnished music for dancing in the new gym. RAISING MONEY The Juniors were busy all year raising money to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet. Cardinal foorball pins, stationary paper, cards, and napkins were sold during the year. Pop and candy were sold at football and basketball games. A play, Home with Father , was to be given but because of other activities occupying the gym, it had to be canceled. In place of the play, they were given $75.

At the half of the Edgeley- Ellendale football game, they marched around the field and gave several exhibitions of their tr.lents. The hectic day ended with a party given by the senior class. The sophs took it all with a grin, but are waiting for their turn as seniors.

With this ending comes a feeling of happiness mingled with regret — happiness at reaching the goal we had set twelve years ago and regret at leaving our classmates, friends and teachers. All of our high school activities will be over but not forgotten. They have made a lasting impression and will always be cherished. We will remember especi- ally the school parties, football games, basketball games, the junior-senior prom and our Funfests. iO CO o 1C Our graduation is an important milestone in life but not the last one, for we must travel a new road with new experiences, new friends, and new opportunities. Before we leave our school and begin a new life, we wish to give sincere thanks to our parents, our teachers, and our eternal Father for the ' guidance and devotion they have bestowed upon us when we most needed it and enabled us to meet the future with fortitude and wisdom.
