MITSFS Meeting Minutes

Friday, May 4, 1962



At 1716 L. Courtland Skinner II, glorious President, called the meeting to order. The minutes of the previous meeting were not read as the Secretary pro-tem was absent. Skinner then decided to have someone else record the meeting- but who could do the job. As if inspired by Divine Revelation, the Society arose as one crying: Lewis, LEWIS, L*E*W*I*S. So, dear friends, that is how I have come to record this meeting.

BING!
