    Principal Kath pulled out an Army roster from 1905, a newspaper, an official finance committee report from 1920, a book with a constitution and bylaws, another newspaper and lots of dust as he announced each item to the people in the room.

    The press was told that in the paperwork was a roster of all of the items in the box, which contained financial statements and coins, among other items.

    What’s up with the focus on finances? Now I want to know the contents of the financial committee report and financial statements. I’m guessing one probably can’t get a digital copy.
