A motion was passed by a hearty
clap of hands ito Hjalmur Danielson
for his long service not only to the
Magazine but to the Cluib as well.
The formal report of 'the President
showed that the Club has had a very
successful year. The attendance at the
annual concert was very good, the
Parish Hall of the Lutheran Church
being packed to the doors. Although
'the admission to the annual banquet
and dance in the Fort Garry Hotel was
$10.00 per couple, the Club broke
even and all had a very pleasant time.

ances of the Club are in good shape.
