By-Laws

The club went over a few amendments drawn up by the Triumvirate with the intention of  casting a vote to determine their acceptability; however, as the minutes ticked by and the club started proposing amendments to the amendments themselves, it was decided that the Triumvirate would modify the amendments and send them to the group via e-mail. They would then be voted on next meeting.

Moderator’s Report

Dr. Gotcher brought to the attention of the Club the possibility of Certamen with Brookfield Academy and Marquette, which possibility was greeted with enthusiastic applause by everyone. The Level 1 Team in particular began to exhibit subtle glints in their eyes. Mrs. VH, who witnessed the scene, later remarked, “For the first time in my life I actually felt sorry for Brookfield, the Level One’s eyes were so… glinty.”

Awards Ceremony

The many and splendid awards won by the gallant toils of the Club were then distributed to the sound of thunderous applause.
