J 4 48 4 5 0 - £ V ' rtyidto ' Uf, As ire look back through the past of the senior class of 19!?1 we find thirty- eight green but not bashful freshmen beginning their first year in high school. We lost four of the thirty-eight, before the sophomore year. Our class officers were Joyce Hokana, president; Danny Slemmons, vice-president; Arlene Retzlaff, secretary-treasurer. Shirley Adams was elected as our class reporter. Our class adviser was Mrs. Brouillard. At the close of the freshman year we went on our yearly picnic to Weber ' s Gulch near Forbes, Our sophomore year with a membership of thirty-two students started out with a bang. On October 1, we all came to school decked out in our initiation clothes and obeyed every call of the Mighty Seniors. Our class officers that year were Duane Wanttie, president; Eugene Krieger, vice president; and Eugene Burlingame, secretary-treasurer. Arlene Retzlaff and Derril Wedell were chosen candidates for king and queen at the Oompah Carnival. Our class reporter was Arlene Retzlaff, . and our class adviser was Mr. Lindquist. In 19!?0 the sophomores returned to school as juniors with lots of ambition. The enrollment was thirty-two that year. Class officers were president, Sally Crabtree; vice-president, Garry Bowman; Shirley Adams, secretary-treasurer; and Arlene Retzlaff, Loretta Mintz and Helen Hagel, class reporters. Mr. Lindquist was class adviser. After Christmas vacation, we were found selecting class rings, another very enjoyable event for the juniors. We selected a gold mounted ring with an E as the center. We received our rings in April and of course were all proud of them. We knew we were becoming grown up and would soon be mighty seniors, and would then have the honor of wearing them with the 19f?l up instead of down. This year we presented a play, since there was no carnival. Miss Onsrud directed us in this play called Home With Father”. Then came the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, the outstanding events of the year. Our theme was Goodbye and Good Luck . This event was one that gave the class the ability to show its skill in planning, skill to create something new, and to work together, and skill in handling difficult situations. The banquet was held in the Masonic Temple basement and the Prom was held in the gymnasium with John Taylor and his orchestra furnishing the music. Sally Crabtree and Shirley Adams of the junior class were made members of the Keystone Honor Society. The juniors picnicked at Wylie Park near Aberdeen. 1951 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017

0 5 I Sf f f -= V Our senior year was the most wonderful year in high school. We elected Sally Crabtree for president, Robert Bymers for vice-president, Renee Olson for secretary treasurer, Marian Martin for class reporter, and Mr, Ingvalson for class adviser. Our class was very fortunate in having been able to have our school paper, The Cardinal , printed. The entire school found it interesting. With ideal leadership we sponsored parties and other activities. A Teen Can- teen was formed and sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association. We found it to be one of the outstanding activities of the season. Five members received charms for four years of band work; sixteen were active in glee club. Both band and glee club were of the school ' s best activities and a number of members took part in speech and musical festivals. One girl took part in the twirling organization. She received a pin for performing for four years. Arlene Retzlaff, Joyce Hokana, Helen Hagel, Renee Olson, 7 and Danny Slemmons were given membership in the Keystone Honor Society. Then came the senior class play, A Quiet Sumer , which was a big success. This concludes the history of the class of 1951 We now wish to express our appreciation to our teachers, who have so faithfully guided us on the road of education. 1951 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
