The I, II, IV and V Song Festivals took place in Tartu, the rest in Tallinn. Battle of St. Matthew's Day · The Battle of St. Matthew's Day (Estonian: Madisepäeva lahing) was fought near Viljandi on September 21, 1217 during the TeutonicEstonian War.

In one revealing episode, the boys were returning from a campfire on a sin- gle bus-something that would have produced bedlam before but, at that point, was specifically requested by the boys. When the bus stopped at a refreshment stand, the boys of one group, with $5 left in their treasury, decided to treat their for- mer bitter adversaries to milkshakes! We can trace the roots of this surprising turnabout to those times when the boys had to view one another as allies instead of opponents.

And this they did through a pipeline that,
