State Normal and Industrial School - Snitcher Yearbook (Ellendale, ND)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1950 volume:

The Snitcher for 1950 Golden Anniversary Edition 1899-1949 Ground for the first building on the campus was broken in the summer of 1898, with the basement and foundations completed that fall. Work was resumed the following spring, the building being finished and ready for occupancy in September, 1899. The Manual Training Build- ing (now the Home Economics Building) was completed August 1, 1899, at a cost of $10,500. The school opened in September, the first institution of higher learning to open in its own building. In 50 years the State Normal and Industrial College has grown from a single building to a campus of ten classroom and dormitory buildings, plus two army-style barracks and 36 trailers for hous- ing students. Administration The first president of the school was Warren E. Hicks, who headed a faculty of three teachers in 1899. By 1901 the faculty had increased to seven. Standing— President Hicks, J. N.

The first building on the campus housed three departments: Mechanic Arts, Household Arts and Fine Arts. From these original three, the college has expanded to six divis- ions: Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Educa- tion (with seven depart- ments), Business, Junior College, and Farm Me- chanics. i The college library in 1917 was on the third floor of Carnegie Hall, where the Snitcher is pre- pared today. Mechanic Arts, in the early days of the school, was almost entirely a hand tool course, but the students turned out work of remarkable precision. Ten graduates of the N-l were working for advanced degrees in Industrial Arts at Colorado A Cr M College last summer. At one of several fam- ily picnics were Sidney Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shclvcr, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Kurth and daughter, all of Ellcndale; John Barnes, Minot; Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Burroughs and Mr. and Mrs. Lcland White and daughter, Pierre, S. D.; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson and children and Marlys Walker, Sher- wood; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Kjos and son, Havre, Mont.; Ernest Sommers, New York Mills, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ulmer, Fessenden. Mrs. Dunphy's piano lessons have drawn students to the N-l for 35 years. Trainee teaching goes on all year at the col lege. Summer session students specialize in pri mary and rural teaching. Athletics The N-l first organized a football team in 1901. Standing —John Callahan, Bert Merrifield, Archie Dean, Casper Thompson, Frank Schradenbauch, Jay Frink, President W. E. Hicks.

Football 1949 For the first time in 25 years the N-l presented an athletic team without Senn Slemmons as head coach. This year Senn handed the head coaching job to his last year's assistant, Wally Klein, retain- ing his dual role as athletic director and backfield coach Such an abundance of material turned out for football that the school's hopes for a conference title were riding high when the Dusties went into their first game. Led by All-Conference Don Berg, Connie Juelke, LeRoy Bea- ver Juelke, Charles Trei and seventeen other let termen, the Dusties proceeded to win their first four conference games with ease. In the fifth and final loop game two platoons of a large Valley City squad wore down the Dusties to emerge with a SB to 12 victory and their second consecutive NDIAC championship. Don Berg's passing to Ends Palmer Retzlaff and Chuck Trei and to Halfback Connie Juelke made the Dusties' aerial attack feared by all opponents. It not only provided half the touchdowns, but it also gained more than half the yardage for the Dusties. Berg's passing was hailed as the best in North Dakota football history. The stellar play of the big line throughout the season contribut- ed immensely to the Dusties' success, both on offense and on defense. Chuck Trci End Duane Mattheis Center Lettermen LeRoy Juclkc Tackle All-conference selections included Don Berg, unanimously chos- en quarterback for the third time; LeRoy Juelke, tackle for the sec- ond year; Charles Trei, end for the second year.

Basketball 1949-50 With eight let termen from previous years back in school, the Dust es had a seasoned basketball team this year which captured 12 victories m 21 games for a better than .500 record. Seven wins and six losses in conference play gave them fourth place in final stand- ings. Victories included two over each of the second and third place winners, Dickinson and Mayville, during the season Total points for the season were 1214 to the opposition's 1247, with 318 of the Dus- ties' points coming from free throws. The Valley City Vikings won the conference championship for the second year as their entire squad returned for the 1950 season. In a conference pre-season tournament at Minot, Valley City also won, with the Dusties making a fine showing by winning third place after bowing to the Vikings in the semi-finals. Don Berg, in his fourth year as a regular, and Don Murgatroyd, a first-year player, held down the guard posts. Gene Kruger, winning his third letter, and Eddie Muckenhirn, a sophomore, filled the for- ward positions. Jerry Muckenhirn led the scorers from his center spot for the second straight year. Other members of the varsity were Les Ecklund and Del Altmann, sophomores; Palmer Retzlaff, freshman; Duane Mattheis and Bill Brown, seniors. Eddie Muckcnhirn Forward Don Berg Guard Jerry Muckcnhirn Center Jerry Muckenhirn led N-l scorers with 314 points for the season, his 212 in conference play good for second place in loop scoring Don Berg landed ninth with 143 in the conference and 241 for all games. Eddie Muckenhirn scored 220 in seventeen games and 122 in nine conference games, missing the last four games because of illness. Gene Kruger scored 148 and Don Murgatroyd 127. The Dusties were particularly effective from the free throw line.. Don Berg led in that depart- ment with an average of .760 for all games and top- ped conference players with a phenomenal 844 in thirteen tilts. Eddie and Jerry Muckenhirn follow- ed with 641 and 604 for all games and 625 and .610 in the conference. The entire squad averaged .590 for the season against the opponents' .558. 4 n Jerry Muckenhirn scores on his spectacular jump shot At the season's c!ose Jerry Muckenhirn was rewarded for his f ne recorc by being placed a: cen- ter on the Fargo Forum's all-conference eight- man squad Don Berg received honorable mentiot at guard.

Chuck Trei (above) and Don Berg (right) are two of the Dusties' let termen in 1950. Trei is one of the state's best in the shot, dis- cus, and javelin; Berg spe- cializes in the pole vault, low hurdles, and javelin. The Dusties no longer field baseball teams, but sports arc not missing on the summer program. The N-l is the only college in the state with an outdoor swim- ming pool right in the front yard. Women students at the N-l have had a varied program, ranging from hik-ng and cycling to bas- ketball and volleyball. In past years the girls have been most proficient in tumbling. Don Berg 1949 Middleweight Marc Tennant 1939 Welterweight The Dusties have been represented by sever- al good teams and a number of outstanding boxers in past years. Lorm Bud Phillips, a crowc-pleas- mg lightweight from 1938 through 1941, was the first N-l pugilist to gam the limelight Allan Juel- ke had a punch widely feared over the state in 1939- 40 Most recent ring star was Don Berg, who was the talk of the town in Minneapolis while fiqhting his way to the finals of the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves tournament in 1949 LeRoy Juelke was mak- ing his way to the semi-finals in the regional tour- nament at Sioux City at the same time. LeRoy Juelke 1949 Heavyweight Allan Juelke 1939 Light-Heavyweight Boxing Two important reasons for the success of Dustic athletic teams arc the band and the cheerlead- ers. A small but peppy band, dress- ed like a bunch of admirals, and a crew of five acrobatic cheer- leaders have helped make 1950 basketball games major creations in showmanship.

The N-l chapter was organized in 1906 as a charter member of the United States organization. The definite nature of its work helps to make the school ore which insures the development of students physically, intelligently, and spiritually. The association's cause is the cause of humanity. For that reason the organization's aim is high and the genuine worker will endeavor to reach it. The YWCA is active in attending state conventions and the national convention at Lake Geneva. It is also one of the promoters of the World Student Service Fund. The YWCA meets jointly with the YMCA on special occasions, the groups being co-sponsors of the WSSF and the N-l Rarities.

A lumber- yard, a tent saloon, and a hotel were quickly erected. The town- site was platted May 8, 1882, and by the end of the year the city was taking shape. The first census, in 1883, showed 1300 people in Ellcn- dale, but that figure probably in- cluded many transients.

Woodward Company The building presently known as the Geer house served as the Dickey county courthouse and El- lendale city hall in early days. To- day the city has one of the most beautiful courthouses in the state and a permanent city hall which also houses police and fire depart- ments. Among the first buildings to be erected in Ellcndale were Ran- dall's store and the Holbrook House. Today the city is a mod- ern, mid-western county seat com- munity with paved streets, sturdy business establishments, and many beautiful homes. 0-3 ?UttjtUU Hs form — F«b The Irwin Inn once stood on the present site of the L. M. Cole- man building. Another early hotel, first named the Central House and later the White House by George White, was managed by Ed N. Leiby and Harvey Rood in 1884 That site has always had a hotel since that time. A disastrous fire in 1916 swept away most of the business district from U. S. Highway 281 cast. But most of the businesses were rebuilt, this time of brick, and the city recovered rapidly. A glance down Main Street today shows modern, well-kept buildings among which only a few of the original wooden structures remain. Recreational facilities have al- ways been the concern of Ellendalc citizens. The city boasts a nine- hole golf course three miles south of town, one of the best swimming pools in the state, and a park that attracts many picnickers during the summer. I Â
