semester on Sunday afternoons we visited those 'Danish families in our town who weie for any reason whatsoever, kept from church. The team sang, prayed 5 and meditated over a portion of Scripture, attempting to leave a message of good cheei wherever it went. In November the team began a Sunday school in the 5 poorer section of town. We pray that this work shall be continued by those who olatorical, Arthur Mehrens was awarded first prize, rendering, The Cross of ' Gold , by William Jennings Bryang Ida Johnson second, having given Regulus to the Roman Senate , by Regulusg and Martinus Bollesen third, with' the pre- sentation of A Message from Flanders Field , by R.

This year a number ot Christian students felt a desire to be active in the Vineyard of the Lord. Last tollow us and that God will let His light shine upon this work. If we sow duly and f'uthIully God will give the increase. I IT MAY SEEM strange t.hat nothing has been said of our Literary contests. Q We have had four contests of importance, the Hesperian and Dannebrog de- 1 clamatory contestsg the Essay and the School Song contests. This year in the f lespectively, were awarded second and third. The subject of essays submitted was, The Principle of Authority as Applied to Present Day Social Conditions .

AND HERE we would wish to suggest to the Student Organization that it I shoulder the responsibility of publishing the Danian. VVe believe that the Annual, it placed in the hands of the entire Student Body, would be even a greater success than it has been hitherto. The choice of the members of the staff will not be limited in proportion to tl1e size of the class publishing the book. s i T IT IS OUR hope that those who take our place will continue to build upon i the foundation to which we have tried to add a little, so that each succeeding class T will 1n truth Guard that which is COll1l'lliCtL-ld unto them . -Editor. ! l ' ' v , K fi -7 E 1 al X--is if , tvf i'2?:a' 1 4 It l f 1 E 1 l , --------,,.--..--- .--. . ------ -.--.....-...5.

It was not without some hesitancy that the present class decided to publish another annual. The pro- lems, difficulties and innumerable hindrances to be met in this wtork were in some degree realized by us ally but, on the other hand, we felt the responsibility of continuing the most praiseworthy work done by the two previous classes. This book of memories has been a source of inspiration in awakening in our class a joyous spirit of co-operation. SHOULD THIS Danian, in spite of its shortcomings, be a positive means to- ward a greater active interest in our school, and should we through this volume have helped to perpetuate the true spirit and traditions prevalent here, our fond hopes have been realized. TO THE STAFF members who have labored with a united aim in this work, and to the members of the faculty, students, alumni, business men of Blair and all friends who have directly or indirectly co-operated with us to make possible this year book, do we here wish to extend our appreciation. THE ARTIST, William Petersen of Lincoln, who was with us only during the first part of the year, did the greater portion ot the Danian art work. To hi1n also do we wish to show our appreciation for the excellent spirit that he has shown, in doing this work for us after he had left school. PERHAPS IT WILL not be amiss to write of our bi-monthly publication at this time. Under the editorship of Lawrence Siersbeck, the Hermes has just been changed into a live newspaper and a better Messenger from Dana . The sub- scribers to Hermes number approximately six hundred which is a larger sub- scription list in proportion to the- number of students than the majority of schools are able to show. The aim of our newspaper is not only to make public our activities but also to make the readers acquainted with the progress of our school in the things material and those spiritual. THE D CLUB is a recent addition to the number of our societies. Only letter men are eligible to membership to this society. This promises to be a club of live wires . The primary purpose is to promote a spirit of good fellowship and sportsmanship, and to further the cause of athletics in general here at school.
