'Smore Basket-Ball Games after- wards. MAR. 8-Danish Film-machine broke! MAR. 10-More Film. MAR. 11-Clown's team had to chew the smallest end of the score to-night when Dana's team played their last post-season game. MAR. 14-Went to Nita's and Sogge's pa1'ty to-night. We had what- we call in plain English lots of fun . h MAR. 18-Mrs. Dale, Prof. Nielsen, and Prof. Swihart combined their efforts and consequently we had one of the big musical treats of the year. MAR. 20-Danish Declamatory contest-plus quite a few songs that Hannes hap- pened to pick out. I sure got stung to-night, I bought a girl's foot intending to get her box and whe11 we came to eat I found out that I had to share with six others. There's al- ways something to keep me from my hearts desire. MAR. 22-About half of the 18 couples here went. down to Omaha to-night and incidently to hear Jeritza sing. MAR. 24-Repetition of the same performance only this time they substituted a Symphony Orchestra. MAR. 25-Bundy gave us a Gym Demonstration. Using the Danes and the graduated Californians to show off with and the others to fill in with. he was able to give us some entertainment. Mrs. .lungersen demonstrated the works of the culinary de- partment afterwards in the manner of all good-hearted cooks. Some were destined to partake of another repast. The Sunday School VVorkers showed their apprecia- tion of Miss Anna Jensen's work in that way. MAR. 26-Life is very uncertain. I didn't study any of my six assignments for to-day, because I expected Mr. Bay to lecture after chapel and the clean-up-day to render null and void all class work in the P. M. Well, Mr. Bay and clean-up day both took A. W. O. L. MAR. 27-I declaimed, orated. elocuted, effused and spoke in genuine rhetorical style every spare moment until 4 o'clock or until l found out that the declamatory contest was postponed until April 5th. MAR. 29-Mr. Bay told us a few things about Denmark that had escaped Prof. Overgaard's notice, at least we had never heard just exactly those things before. MAR. 30-The same lecturer made us forget our class work this forenoon in telling about the Western prairios. Mr. Bay is one Dane ti1at's known outside the boundary of his homestead. MAR. 31--Miss Jensen gave a farewell feast to the girls to-night. Her bounty failed to extend farther than the one dormitory. Leave it to the women to show partiality. April APR. 3-I believe it was Miss Hn.nsen's birthday to-day. APR. 5-Prof. Overgaard makes no secret of his birthdays. The highest to the lowest received evidences of this fact-mostly in the shape of ice cream. Some, however, in kokolade, and some in dinners. The Declam spun off to-night. Nuff sed. But then I guess it's pretty hard for the judges not to show partiality. APR. 8-Prof. Nielsen doesn't like the way Emerald sings love. He doesn't open his mouth at all. Prof. Nielsen has a hunch tl1at he really knows better and told him so, too. APR. 9-The D. A. C. left to-day about 11:3'0 together with lots of vacationers. I was sitting by the old pine tree to-night when I saw a 1113.11 standing on the steps and softly murmuring Am she Event or are she gone, Are she left I all alone Will her not come back to I Or I go to she? Oh! it cannot was, it cannot was. APR. 10-Picnic on the old Misery , I noticed that Buffalo wears a satisfied ex- pression as a conclusion to it. mi...-1.1.1.1-11.--1-1..11-1111..-1..-..1--1

I counted 29 different bonfires once. Now we've worked for the vacation of all the others for tomorrow afternoon. APR. 17-Art Mehrens and Eli Vig make 11. pair of ludicrous debators. They cer- tainly can perpetuate a mean flow of Rhetoric with the aid of Old Noah's Book- tionery. Some girls tried to feed me candy that was a cross between cocoa and fudge. I guess they thought they had a good time. APR. 27-The old bus bringing the D. A. C. rattled up the hill about 3 o'clock to-day. T119Y,1'8 not such a 'bad hunch after all. May MAY 1-Jens Dixen led our morning devotion and gave a very inspiring mission talk this evening MAY 7s9. Dr. Sodergren of the St. Paul Bible School is with us these days. We are studying the letter of the Philippians. May we also experience some of that JOY which was so evident in the life ot Paul. MAY 31- Tuning up for wedding was rendered by the Public Speaking Class. It was great! We have much hidden talent here, that's sure. JUNE 1-Had to sing tonight and I enjoyed itg here's hoping the audience did, too. Mrs. Dale's recital was the big event. J un e JUNE 2-Senior class day. Planting ot the ivy. JUNE 3-Our Alumni certainly began to appear from all corners today-this is their big day. JUNE 4-Commencement. JUNE 5-Farewell to our Alma Mater and our friends. Talented The Wo1'd, talented, has a magic appeal to the youth. He is fascinated but al- so troubled when he sees the inherent gifts which make it easy for others to sing beautifully, to Win scholarships, to star on athletic teams. With himself he finds none of these possibilities. He feels only the pangs of hunger, a hunger that often becomes a torture. This privation has, in too many cases, weakened and discouraged those who in the ordinary sense are 11Oll talented, but who possess latent possibilities of tar greater worth than the ability to maintain, even for a while, a doubtful su- premacy in the fields of music, learning or athletics. The song in the life of the contented man or woman, the wisdom of the high minded and the big-hearted, and the sportsmanship of those who shoot square under every circumstance in lite, are talents of priceless value and lasting influence. 'Too often we make the mistake of considering those talentless whose knowledge is confined to the practical things of the shop, the farm, or the kitcheng and whose philosophy is common sense. These common things are not to be despised: they are atter all, common because they are life's real values. It is a mistake to think they are not talented who only do commonplace things. The ability to do the ordinary tasks ot life Well and cheerfully, should be considered as a great virtue, a priceless talent. -Harold Jorgensen.
