Customers from a 30-mile radius flock to the city for special bargains available. The city park is the scene of many picnics during good weather. Families from country and town enjoy pleas- ant surroundings. Special attractions are brought in for Market Day. Here is the Kulm band, per- forming in the park. Golf is a major diversion of Ellendale residents. One of the best golfers is 80-year-old B.R. Crab- tree, bank president. One of the finest swimming pools in the state attracts huge crowds during hot summer months. Whist parties and dances are held Market Day eve- nings for the entertain- ment of patrons. Drawing for prizes is one of the most popular events. More stock passes through the Ellendale sales ring than through any other ring in this part of the country. AOJLT IQ J. C. McMillan, B. A., M. A.

FARM MACHINERY CLASS For the benefit of farm boys and others who have free time during the winter months, the N-I maintains a farm machinery course which runs con- currently with the winter quarter. This year’s group studied auto and tractor mechanics, arc and acetylene welding, carpentry, and related subjects. An evening course was also held for those who were unable to attend daytime classes.

BAND Under the guiding genius of E. W. Ackert, for forty years the director of the band he organized in 1908, the-N-I band has provided music at sports contests, has appeared in concerts at the college and in nearby towns, and has provided countless students with an opportunity to. learn to organize, administer, and direct high school bands. This year, with Daddy Ackert on the retire- ment list, W. B. Myhrum has taken over the duties of director and has molded an organization worthy of the excellent standards of past achievements. AA.

CHORUS Choral work at the N-I this year featured an a oappella choir instead of the traditional men’s and women’s glee club, with Lee Hardy as director. The term a cappella” is derived from musical use in the Middle Ages. Since singing in the chapels was characteristically unaccompanied, it has be- come customary to designate as wa cappella,” or ”in the chapel style,” any part music in which voices alone are used. The unaccompanied type of singing requires finer attention to detail and is the most valuable of all means of developing vocal musicianship.

Adviser The Women1s Athletic Association is organized for those girls who are interested in athletics and for those who wish to minor in physical educa- tion.

LETTERMEN'S CLUB Lettennen on the N-I campus are traditionally all-around athletes; seldom does the college pro- duce a man proficient in only one type of athletic competition. Of the 30 lettermen in college this year, only a half-dozen made letters in only one sport, and of that handful most took part in other sports without earning monograms. Reorganized in the fall of 1937, the N-I Let- termers Club takes an active part in promoting various forms of athletics. Sweater awards are made to members of the club who earn three letters in any one major sport, and recognition pins are given to all seniors who have earned membership in the club through their athletic proficiency.

Squad With thirteen lettermen returning from the strong 1947 team, prospects for a title contender at the college seemed bright last fall. But injury to key players dashed all hopes, and the Dusties wound up with three vic- tories in six conference games. Assistant Coach Wally Klein — Don Berg Quarterback Charles Trei Captain, End t The Dusties drove to a 20 to 0 victory over the Jamestown College Jimmies in the season’s opener, then put on a last-half rally to romp over a sur- prisingly tough Dickinson eleven, 32 to 6, Visions of a conference champion- ship were vivid as the NI invaded Minot for a shot at the Beavers, but twice the eventual champs came from behind to nip the Dusties in a thriller, 21 to 19. Connie Juelke was lost to the squad through a broken hand in the last half, and that meant the game and the title as far as the Dusties were con- cerned. Wayne Merrick End LeRoy Juelke Tackle Jim Mooney Halfback The Dusties grabbed the lead in the first quarter on a blocked punt, but the Beavers came back with two touchdowns to lead 14 to 6 at the end of the third period. Again the Dusties rallied to count; twice on the brilliant passing of Don Berg and the equally sensational ball-toting of Connie Juelke. With but two minutes to play, the Dusties appeared to have the game tucked away at 19 to 14, but a gamble on fourth down failed and a last-ditch attack netted the Beavers a final tally as the game ended. Duane Mattheis Center Tony Davis Fullback Wilbert Thurn Guard Without Connie, the N-I was just another team. At Mayville the Dusties took a 28 to 0 victory without trouble, but the last two games found them outmanned by Wahpeton and the Valley City Vikings. The V ildcats dumped the Dusties by a 19 to 0 count and the Vikings spoiled the N-I Homecoming by administering a 34 to 7 trouncing to the Dusties. Beaver” Juelke and Duane Mattheis were out of the final two games for long periods of time with head and shoulder injuries that occurred at crucial mom- ent’s, further hurting the N-I chances for victory. Bart Slemmons Quarterback Bill Brown Halfback Gary Schaible End The Dusties got their share of recognition for outstanding play when the conference coaches picked their all-star squad. On the twenty-man team were four Dusties: Don Berg at quarterback, Connie Juelke at left half, LeRoy Juelke at tackle, and Wayne Mer- rick at end. Captain Chuck Trei, who made the squad as a freshman end in 1947, was just nosed out in the balloting, as was the N-I center, Dewey Mattheis. Berg received another high honor in December, when he received honorable mention on Tommy Harmon’s Little All-America eleven. Vern Courtney Guard Twenty-six members of the squad won letters for their ability this year. They were Wayne Merrick, Chuck Trei, Gary Schaible, and the two Muckenhirns at ends; George Haussier, LeRoy Juelke, Les Ecklund, and Ray Griess at tackles; Don Wagner, Darwin Whelan, Wilbert Thurn, Ervin Dock- ter, Vernon Courtney, and Bill Bauder at the guards; Duane Mattheis and Charles Anderson at center; Don Berg and Bart Slemmons at quarterback;Connie Juelke, Jim Mooney, Bob McEachern, Larry Schuschke, and Bill Brown at halves, and Tony Davis and Ken Shockman at fullback.

At times they looked very good, and at other times they looked bad. They started out well with a close victory over the University of Manitoba, then dropped a game to Huron College and lost two of three games at the state inter- collegiate tournament at Minot during the Christmas holidays. In conference play, they lost three in a row at the start, then came back to win four of their next eight games. Their record of four victories and seven defeats gave them fifth place in the nine-team confer- ence. Jerry Muckenhirn was the Dusties leading scorer with 195 points in sixteen games. He averaged just over 1 fi points for the eleven conference games, giving him fifth place among loop scorers. Eddie Muckenhirn was second among N-I scorers with 136 points, followed by Yteyne Merrick with 131 and Connie Juelke with 109.
