Ken de Russy shared a newspaper find from March 2, 1910, San Francisco Sunday Call, that held an article that may be loads of fun reading for some.

It might be fun to segment the page and discuss matters teased by the large article.

I move that the boys in the club be honorary members of US Hawks.
