It was early in September of 1938 that eighteen aspiring young students entered the doors of Ellendale High School to start their school careers. The four who re- mained together the twelve years are Barbara Anderson, Sylvia Crabtree, Roselyn Ferguson, and Willman Olson. Arlene Jensen joined the class in the second grade. In the fourth grade, Lorraine Wobschall was the addition. In the fifth grade Paul Baarson and Joan Thompson joined the class. By the time they enrolled as freshmen their number increased to thirty-four. Of these members, Barbara Anderson, Paul Baarson, Marcelene Connor, Sylvia Crabtree, Ronly Cromwell, Verla Enzenauer, Roselyn Ferguson, Aleene Fischer, JoAnn Humburg, Arlene Jensen, Irvin Jenson, Marvin Johnson, Doris Jones, Helen Muri, Marion Olson, Willman Olson, Joan Thompson, Aldeen Underland, Lorraine Wobschall, and Eleanor Wodrick continued through high school as members of the class of 50. Bonnie Olson joined up later during the freshman year. One of our early memories of our Freshmen year was Initiation Day. The members of the Freshmen class spent that day bowing, and polishing shoes for upper- classmen. In the evening the sophomores gave us a party in the gym. LaVonne Elton, Leslie Kruger, Doris Robertson, Virgil Worke, and Ray Zeman Joined the class in the sophomore year. The highlight of this year was our Initiation party for thie Freshmen. We treated the freshies in much the same manner as we were treate . During the freshman and sophomore years Adeline Anderson, .Jeanette Balbach, Donald Benson, Phillip Carlson, Eugene Christian, Leo Haubenschlld, Marjorie Hoy, Marshall Jensen, Bemetta Sorenson, Delmar Trandem, and Helmer Westing withdrew. The number again increased to thirty during the junior year with Louis Wagner enrolling. The play, The Antics of Andrew was presented during the junior year. The proceeds helped to sponsor the banquet which we gave for the seniors. The theme of the banquet was Southern Plantation. - With the withdrawal of two members, James Jensen and Loretta Stiegelbauer, the number beginning their senior year was 28. Mr. Shaw was our advisor and we chose our class motto, colors, and flower. The motto, The Door to Success is Labeled 'Push' 3 colors, Dusty Rose and Silver: flower, Lily of the Valley. The final number of seniors was reduced to twenty-seven when Raymond Loberg discontinued his education at our high school. ' Finally there was the senior trip, Baccalaureate, and graduation. Now a new life begins for each student.
