r be Q91fciJest1fa e The S. of A. orchestra has been one of the big features of the school this year. With a leader by the name of Horn, one would expect nothing else but a success. Some one would probably blow him up if he didn't produce some good music. As it is we are sure this Horn ought to be tooted far and wide, for without him the orchestra would never have reached its high place of excellency. Two old and nine new members were turned over to his tender mercies at the beginning of the year. With this material be has turned out the finished product of all stars whom you have had the pleasure of listening to so many times this year. Maybe the reason for the phenomenal success of the orchestra was the lack of feminine aspirationists. This is one field of student activities which the girls have yet to conquer. Until they wake up you can expect good music. SAVE THE ORCHESTRA BOYS ! ! The violin section, consisting of George Pearson, Emmet Cashen, Clements Alger, Willard Dover, and Walter Troxel, was very ably filled and many of the sweet sounds-ff-and some of the discords --can be attributed to their genius. Emil Osterloh and Meade held down the cornet parts with ease. Carl Ruegg was the only elarinetist but he made up for a thousand. The bass section, with Ernest Bartz and Wm. Wiedeberg at slide trombones, did justice to both themselves and orchestra. The orchestra appeared before the school and public several times, the first time being at the Xmas Convocation. The next was the week of Organized Agriculture, when they played for several of the meetings, and also the State Horticultural Society. They were on the Historical Pageant program, and also played for the Senior Class Play, as has been the custom for ears. The pleasure of sucli an organization in our school cannot be over-estimated. lt is one of the things that bring the students together and helps to manufacture school spirit and pep, To music lovers it has been a real treat, or at least we hope so. Everybody boost for an even better orchestra next year. 'I7

They have come to this country and made it their home to represent the descendants who centuries ago explored the northern seas. It would be found that in the districts of our country where there are Scandinavians, there is a community of peace and happinessg this will be found true in Nebraska. V The School of Agriculture has a good representation of this bold and daring blood, and inlthem can be seen the characteristics that they had centuries ago. They are always leaders in 'school activities and in the classroom the equal of any. The organization is not an old one and was organized by the class of the term of 1914-153 since that time they have been progressing very rapidly. The club consists of Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians. The plan is to have meetings every half semester, or four meetings a term, to have programs consisting of readings, songs and sketches of Scandinavian life, some of which are to be in the Scandinavian languages. Our motto: Wit, Wisdomhand Fun. ' K 116 ,,
