Vanden Berg was given charge of the treasury department. Cactus Kobes held the position of scribe. Karl B. P. Van Baalen was elected as general adjunct. Mr. Iohn Timmerman is our sponsor. At the beginning of the current school year, a new club was organized. An interesting feature of this organization was that we all had the opportunity to demonstrate our various culinary abilities in the preparation of refresh- ments. Aside from a few cases of violent gastronomical disturbances and abdominal pains, we enjoyed ourselves most in this desirable feature. Apparently the club has been a success. We have accomplished all we intended to do and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We, the members of this extraordinary organization, sincerely express our thanks to Mr. Timmerrnan for his able leadership. We hope this organization may grow in future years to be enjoyed by the generations to come. G. K. tl4l
