Summary of the First Summer Meeting and What's Happening At the Next

And we're off to the races again.

Good attendance for the first meeting, I think. Black Fury had a total of nine team members show up, out of thirteen. I believe the White Falcons had seven at the end of the day, and both were championed by the overall (note: overall) ten member attendance of the Purple Protozoa. Now if we only had an attendance banner...team captains?

Speaking of team captains. Purple Protozoa, in case you are unaware but happen to be reading this, your team captain, Noemi Beltran, is currently far, far away attempting to create a future for herself after high school. We all wish her luck, of course. In the mean time, the Purple Protozoa shall be lead into battle by her equally competent and more experienced section leader, Ivonee Diaz. Unless I am mistaken, and am just speaking gibberish, of course.

I shall now take this time to recognize the return of the White Falcons' section leader, Richard Castro, from ROTC camp...that's all we'll say about him.

Returning to the matter at hand, I would like to congratulate my own team, the Black Fury, on winning the first Spirit Banner of the year, based on their knowledge of the Decathlete's Creed! I was impressed with your ability to memorize it so thoroughly in such a short period of time (although I actually did mention that we would be doing that very thing at my team meeting during the school year).

Onward then, to the subject matter of the next meeting. As I'm sure all who attended the last meeting are aware, we are testing over the Fundamentals of Economics (packet Mr. Locke handed out) and the Renaissance - more specifically, what caused it - described in a handout given out by Coach Weatherford and some notes that some of the more dedicated Decathletes might have taken (hint hint).

When: Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005, from 1-4 P.M. Expect a phone call a couple of days in advance.
Where: Portable A, unless otherwise stated
What to bring: Pencils or pens, paper, 3-4 for pizza
What's to be covered: Rumors speak of math and more economics...bring all the resources you have.

How was that post for a Mr. Locke impression?
