The meeting was called to order at 1:30 PM by Dan McPhail, president. Walter Sullivan, [illegible] of New York and now of Bristow, and Jack Speer, of Comanche and Washington answered present. It was reported to the Chair that Injun Joe was under the bed, conducting a more or less scientific analysis of a jug of firewater, and a rumor was advanced that the Invisible Man was present. What was thought to be a delegation of vampire bats from Weird Tales proved nothing more eerie than a flock of sparrows. A maid (colored) also showed great interest in the proceedings, including the notice on the door. Following an informal talk by Sullivan on eastern fans, the meeting recedded while Oklahoma City members Jones, Ishmael, Jonhston and Hirdler were called. None answered but the latter residence, which reported Ed still at college. Current issues were reviewed, and collectors items examined. McPhail brought a large number of fan mags, and valuable first issues of many magazines, Sullivan had a bound set of early Astounding Stories and Speer presented interesting facts on his IPO Poll. At this point the portor brought up a telegram from James & Mary Rogers of Muskogee, expressing their regrets at being unable to attend, & wishing the Pow-Wow all succes. The World Science Fiction Convention was discussed, and a message of good wishes to it was drafted to be sent at a later date.
