We had a full house (over 200 people) on November 1 with the group “Pauken Amerika.” “Hoch Bitte” for a first at the club. They demonstrated the old tradition of “Fechten” in German Fraternities in years past. It was a special honor for students to show off their “Schmiss” or scar on their face demonstrating their manhood. Today the tradition is done with face and body protection but still is a difficult and precise procedure. Some of the choruses participated by singing the old student songs. It was a wonderful first such event at the Teutonia and we thank Alex Lau and Ed Graf for arranging it. Also, John Sliwa did the honor of introducing the group and to MC the evening.
