Minutes from January meeting

As put together by Secretary William Rawlinson.


Minutes

Pres. Foshee called meeting to order at 7:45 and gave prayer.
 
Mrs. McKee gave a lot of advice (subject escapes me at the moment).
 
New Business Opened
 
1: Music to be played at the Graduation is discussed. A band or an organist can play at said graduation. The Home School band has already offered to play for free. Possibility of Mark Rawlinson playing the organ is brought up. Band wins vote. Next the kind of music to be played is discussed.
 
2: Invitations are discussed. They can be either uniform or individual. Uniform is less expensive because the price of an invitation goes down as the quantity ordered is increased. Related statistics are given.
 
    30 invitations cost $16.20 (or $11.30 if they are in black-and-white)
    50 will cost $27
    75 will cost $40 or $50
 
The question of whether to put a class scripture on the invitations is brought up.
 
Uniform invitations agreed to.
The need to set deadlines for invitation orders is addressed.
 
Class votes on color of the invitations. Burgundy chosen (if I'm not mistaken).
