MITSFS Meeting Minutes

Friday, March 9, 1962



The meeting was called to order at 5:06:45 Skinnal Standard Time by L. Court Eastern, Pres. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved without correction. Skinner read some more Ancient Minutes, which (this time, at least) were fairly entertaining. It must have been an accident.

BING!
