Green Mount Sept. 18, 1880

With very thankful hearts we met to reorganize our Evergreen Society. The short vacation which had intervened since our last meeting was with many mercies and pleasures for us all.

Sallie (probably Sallie Lee Blount) was elected President & Mattie Kate vice President. Lucy was re-elected Treasurer & we decided that the duties of Secretary should be equally divided among us all, consequently it fell to my lot to write first.

Lou played Beauregard March & Mattie Fleet repeated the Frost.  Nannie played Oklahoma Waltz.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lZ8NIMI_s4 (copy and paste this link into your browser to hear Oklahoma Waltz).
Mattie Kate read a pathetic story of how "An Innocent Amusement" proved the ruin of a promising boy.  Sallie played with a great deal of expression "Chant du Berger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkkL6q76QxM (copy & paste that link into your browser to hear this song on the piano.)
& then Lucy read a charming little story full of good lessons called Rob's Magic Mirror.

Mattie Kate suggested & we passed unanimously the resolution not to use any slang, but to strive together for the improvement & happiness of each other both in & out of school.

I hope we may have as happy a session as the last & that each one of us may try to make the Wednesday evening hour fuller than ever of pleasure & improvement.
