Young — By the way, our dear little Ruth is among those not present. Carlos — I saw her in the hall talking to Olaf Windsor just a few min- utes ago. Goebe! — While we are waiting, let ' s have a song by our honored presi- dent. (Door opens. Ed enters, closely followed by Miss Ruth Oliver.) Redding — Mr. President, I have here one of our worthy members whom I found searching for a spark of live-light in a measly Fresh- man ' s eye. What shall we do with her? Baker— I move that she be forced to pay up her class dues. Young — I second the motion. I think that she has committed a very grievous crime for which she should not only be forced to pay her class dues, but also be doomed to Dorm chuck for the rest of the year. Fraker — Meeting please come to order. I think we have had enough of this nonsense. Let ' s get down to business. Have we a quorum here? Redding — Yes, we have Baker, Ruth, Donald, Carlos, Goebel, Kays, Fraker. and Boone. Ames left for Cruces about five minutes before the time for the meeting. Enriquez probably did not know there was going to be a meeting. Eede doesn ' t count. He never comes. Romero — I think Enriquez knows. Kays — Mr. President — Fraker — The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the matter of having a class picnic. I think we had better have some discussion. Young — Mr. President, I move that we have — Redding — Hold on, Mr. ' oung, let ' s not go quite so fast. That also reminds me that our secretary has not read the minutes of last meeting. Miss Oliver — I am sorry, but I was in such a hurry to get here that I forgot to bring the book. (General laughter.) (Bell rings for classes.) Kays — For heaven ' s sake, if we continue at the present rate, we will never get anything done. Let ' s all get here on time next time. Goebel — We ' ll not have any of them here next time. This class has about as much class spirit as the ' 08 class. Fraker — The meeting will adjourn and meet at the usual time in this room tomorrow. (Exeunt class members through a mob of Sophomores who have been crowding around the door. )
