We elected Joyce to be the chief editor.7-312345Then Joyce took charge of the meeting. She said that we ought to elect a secretary next. She asked for suggestions.
Millie suggested me, because I have experience too. I was secretary of the Reading Club last year. Then the others voted for me, and I was elected to be the secretary. I started taking notes.7-41234Joyce said that the other three would be editors of the paper. They would be responsible for different sections of the paper. Pansy asked which sections they would have.

For example, how often should we publish the paper? Should it be free to readers, or should they pay for it? What should we call it?7-61234We considered the last question briefly. Pansy asked whether we could call it the Mayfield Sun. Millie suggested the Mayfield Mirror or the Mayfield Star.7-71234We all had different ideas, and so Joyce said that we should think about this a bit longer.
