A S DS! 1 fb g j gg I Q X f 2 e W E - 7Der 'Deutsche Vanin Der Deutsche Verein was organized last year a little after New Years. It did very well for a young club and grew to a fair size. But, since this is a German club instead of a bear club, lt slept over summer so it got pretty thin. But it sure made some growth this fall when it woke up. The object of this society is to get practice in speaking German, in sing- ing German songs and then, incident- ally, to boost for better social times. As for speaking German, the president is going to pick his German ambas- sadors from this society hereafter, be- cause we speak it so fluently. We sure enjoy the singing. CI f you ctou't believe that just ask Kirigsolverj We might now speak of the social life of our Deutsche Verein. Those who have been to our parties say that there are none such for jolly good times and good things to eat. The first social function of the year was a Ger- man breakfast. We had to leave our cozy beds at a quarter to six and walk all the way from one to three miles to get the breakfast but we were there., ,CThat goes to show the spirit that iufests this eZub.j We were not sorry about leaving the beds after we saw the Heats . Believe us German eats are some eats. We cooked our breakfast over an open fire and if you don't know the joy of fishing for your share of weinies in a hot fire all we have to say, is that you have missed half of life. The next event was the Christmas party which was held at Freda Pope's just before Christmas vacation. We got a good mental picture of Germany and German ways thru a talk given by Miss Zumwinkle. If you had heard that you sure would want to be a Dutch- man. Christmas lasts from Thanks- giving till after New Year. Think of that! We had a few songs by ourselves and a solo by Miss Elfeldt. The great event of the evening came next for we actually saw Santa and each good kid got a present. We had a modern German band which led the grand parade thru almost the entire house. Then, horrors, it broke up in a game of marbles. CNot for keeps, though.j A German lap supper consisting of pret- zels, kuchen and coffee Ut makes us hungry just to write itj was served. We told our hostes, Frohlicher Weihn- achten and beat it for home thru the snow. Were you ever initiated? You'd ought to have seen the agony that those fresh Germans went thru when the old timers initiated them. Afterward the German Dramatic Club of the University put on a little play for us. What do you think of that? We had some German eats, German songs, German games and then we adjourned to a German journey home. The last was that sauerkraut lunch- eon eaten in the moonlight in the woods. Did you say the Germans don't know what is good? The only thing the matter with this club is, that we hate so to leave it for the summer. It g ves us an inward pain around the heart. You know! If you are a German Freshie and want to become great and famous just join this noted band of school promoters. Wir bin some Doitchrhefh alreatty you pet.

X ' f V , R.. if - nu s 1 Q 'Ebe Sccmoinavicm Club Ever since the beginning of tradition, the Scandinavian people have been known to be an active race. The Anc1entV1k1ng on his venture far from his own strand, left nothing as unconquerable nor did they know of any- thing too difficult to overcome. It will be found that the people of Scandinavia, who have come to this country to build their homes, perpetuate the tradition of their fore- fathers represent the western divisions of the numerous descendants of the Vikings who frequented the North Sea so many centuries ago. 1 Wherever there are Scandinavians there is also pros- perity but better than prosperity is the peace and con- tentment found in the homes and among the neighbors 1n such communities. This is especially the case in the rural districts of such states as Nebraska. The Viking blood is also represented in the School of Agriculture. More than fifty pupils can rightfully boast of their direct lineage to these mighty giants of old, and some of them have still preserved the lofty character- istics But not only in stature do they surpass. In the class room or in the school activities they will be found to be leaders. ' p - This aggregation of students felt the necessity of some form of union in which the best element of the school could get together. To meet this need, the Scan- dinavian Club was organized toward the close of the term 1914 15 Swedes, Danes and N orwegians were urged to Join and they responded quickly. Mary Nelson was chosen the first president of the club and has continued to serve in that capacity until the present time. Morris Rosene and Marie Johnson have officiated as secretary and treasurer, respectively. We had first planned to meet very third Thursday evening in each month, but this was against the regulations, so we compromised on four meetings per annum with no fixed dates. Programs have been given at these gatherings con- M s1st1ng of readings, sketches and songs, mostly in the Scandinavian languages. We had long planned a joint social with Tegner and it was finally effected on March 11 after many postponements. It gave us great pleasure to meet with the older society of the University. The whole affair was planned to have Scandinavian atmo- sphere about it, terminated by eats appropriate for the We have still a pending meeting and with the origin- ality of the Viking descendants at work, it will be a live affair Our Motto ls: Wit, Wisdom, and fun.
