A motion was made by Gus Hansen to drop the motion of appointing a Seargent at Arms. This was discussed and finally this motion was opposed. A motion was made by Dean Burnham that the President be given the authority to appoint a Seargent at Arms and to have him perform the duties before mentioned.

The minutes were read by Hugh Olander. The financial report was read by Ken Riggs and was also approved as read. Bill Lash gave the President's report (see attached). This was approved as read. A motion was then made by Ron Simmons that we appoint a committee to discuss and look into the possibilities of creating a special group within our organization to teach speCialties such as ski jumping, racing and so on. There was much discussion on this and much of this was done by K. Smith. After some thorough discussion on this by members of the general meeting, the motion was opposed. The next subject was the subject of creating a retired status Which was brought up and put into the form of a motion that there would be and should be a retired status created. A retired person would be eligible to wear some kind of pin. This was seconded and passed. It was also moved and seconded and passed that the Board of Directors should continue on with this and determine the mechanics of how this would work, just in general to determine the actual mechanics of a retired status, who would be under this status and so on. There was much lengthy discussion on how and what we should do in regard to the Happy Hour or Social Hour. The main part of the discussion was how it should be financed. Finally it was moved that each member who attends the Social Hour would pay at the door $1.00. Guests who would be on a special guest list would be admitted free, and that the excess of the expenses would be borne by the Association. This took up a majority of the general meeting. The next business was the nomination of the Board of Directors. This was brought up by the Nominating Committee of Bill Ashley, Wall Abersold and Merlin Bingham. Those retiring: Woody Anderson, Ken Riggs, M. Earl Miller and Bill Ashley. -2- Those nominated to fill these 4 vacancies: Woody Anderson, Berry Corbitt, Bill Ashley, M. Earl Miller, Bob Young, Bud Temple, Gus Hansen and Ken Riggs.

Results of the balloting were determined by a counting committee of Evelyn Engen, Dean Burnham, Dan Kelly. Results were: Woody Anderson, M. Earl Miller, Bill Ashley and Berry Corbitt as new directors for a three year period.
