straight from Demosthenian Spring
Quarter roll book!)

Brignac and dreaming of mistletoe

can’t mess with McKinney, or she
might assault me

In tennis ability, they’re “aces,”

The
meeting was called to order at 7:05. No first-time guests and one
second or third-time guest arose and was recognized. One
distinguished alumnus, Mr. Trammell, was present, but several
others, including Mr. Gasaway, would amble in later on. Three
guests, Mr. Smiley, Mr. Bloomfield, and Mr. de Guzman, petitioned
the society for membership and were summarily accepted. Mr. Lowe
was appointed critic.
The society recessed to the law
school at 7:35 for the intersociety debate, which, for lack of a
better word, we WON! The crown has now been returned to its divine
heirs. All Hail the conquering heroes of Demosthenia! Mr. Pyrdum,
Mr. Van Meter, Ms. Shillington, Mr. Gable, and Mr. Guy... Selah!
The society was reconvened at
10:05. In Old Business: Ms. Visser updated the society on her quest
to catalogue the treasured items of the hall. Mr. Hortman talked of
dues and gave the finance committee report. Mr. Shamaker reminded
all of the Oration/Declamation on the next Thursday; and, all
regaled Mr. Gable for making the programs for the debate, and
celebrated the Debate team for a job well done.
The society moved to adjourn at
10:30, subject to Mr. Lowe’s critic’s report.
V is for
ven’rable vixen Ms. Visser
and How! Chief Van Meter, a
wonderful kisser (how do I know that?)
W is for
Messrs. Weaver and Weir
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there
Y is for Yarber,
the young and the restless
the Z is for no one; we can’t let
that best us!
There’s all our
new members, there’s 7; that's great,
but we still need more members for
year ‘98
So all to your
horses! Raise banners! Make sound!
For all that are leaving, there’s
more to be found.
I sing
Demosthenia, future and past!
Whatever befalls her, we know she
shall last.
I sing
Demosthenia, jewel of our land!
Or white walls or yellow, we know
they shall stand!
Respectfully
submitted on this Twenty-second day of May, Nineteen Hundred Ninety
Seven,
Leonard D.
Hudson, Secretary
