− | Puranjay initially intended it on being a [[Advised Clubs|club in its own right;]] however, his plans were foiled, and he had to relinquish control to FACES in exchange for the committee's establishment. He got his revenge, however, upon becoming a FACES Executive, which allowed him to bestow nepotistic favoritism to the club. | + | Puranjay initially intended it on being a [[Advised Clubs|club in its own right;]] however, his plans were foiled, and he had to relinquish control to FACES in exchange for the committee's establishment.

| + | ==== Opening GA ==== |
| + | Attended by many in the Class of 2021, the introductory GA featured the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2RBKPMpU0 Rednecker than You] by Hardy, in reference to Hunter and Nathaniel's Caucasian heritage. The [[General Assembly|GA]] was a smashing hit, which can largely be attributed to Puranjay's influence in the class's popular culture. |

| + | Several people, including [[Anthony Zhou]], [[Zach Tang]], [[Abigail McDonald]], [[Gia-Uyen Tran]], and [[Temi Akinyoade|Temi]], attended what has become known as the "fatal meeting," a discussion of current events held by THAS in February 2020. In it, COVID-19 was discussed. Eeshan explained that rather than the "coronavirus," the virus should be known as its proper name, COVID-19, and participants theorized as to the extent to which the virus would shape the months to come. Little did they know that this was the last in-person THAS meeting until the [[Great Comeback]]. |
