John A. Schultz, Thencanic Secretary, kept this journal of the group's mock legislature for the first months of 1897.

A short, mostly positive recap of the society's meeting. Transcription included.

Another brief report, albeit a mostly positive one. Transcription included.

One student, "Dunning," has not been identified as the few mentions of him only include his first name.
