That ' s neat. Say who elects these men? Here at H.M. (that ' s short for Horace Mann) each class votes on its own officers. Real democratic. What means that word elect? The king naturally appoints all officials for the realm. Elect ( well we all get a ballot and mark the box in front of the name of the person we want to get the office. After all these votes are counted the guy or gal with the most gets the You allow even the pages and apprentices to determine their leaders? But of course! Well, at least the leaders of their own class. Why, in all Christendom, I have never heard of such a practice. How undemocratic can you get? You a Russian or something? I do not care for that tone of voice, but I shall excuse you. Am I to understand that these officials represent the people, not the King? Naturally they represent the Kids. What else? Tn my time the people were subjects of the King or Lord. He controlled all activities. Oh, that ' s ancient history now. Y ' es, I have surmised that the world has changed greatly. : You ' re finally catchin ' on. Why don ' t you stick around awhile? Then you could see what H.M. is really like. I could introduce you to bunches of Kids. Then you could meet the people who really run the show, our teachers and the administrators. They ' re the ones who organize everything. Our Principals, Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart make certain ev- erything is running smoothly. They check on attendance, class scheduling, excuses, and dozens of other things. Their office staff has loads of work, especially this year with the new report cards and attendance slips. I ' ll have to show you the new machines we have this year. Real modern! : There will be so many people for you to meet. We have over seventy teachers here. Every one has a specific subject that he or she teaches. I ' ll bet you ' ll be surprised to see how educated our women are — they can even vote, just like men. Astonishing. I am anxious to see more of this realm. : Well, here I am — your guide, interpreter and righthand man. Horace, at your service. Let ' s get going! VICE PRESIDENTS OF THE CLASSES Susan Michilette Freshman C Jim Dimitri Senior C John Durkott Ju Kopulo the Pr Seal, the du- keep the money, direct activities, con know, keep things moving. Sir R.: The Lord High Chamberlain, the Keeper the Royal Exchequer. I know their duties we Horace: Who? What? Sir R.: Foolish knave, the Lord High Chamberlain dire ous activities of the castle from culinary pursuit ties of the pages. Horace: Say! That ' s like our President. What do those other guys do? Sir R.: The Chamberlain assists his superior. Often he must take over the duties when the Lord High Chamberlain is away. Do you have such a post? Horace: Well, Sir R., our Veep, oops Vice-President, does that sort of stuff. Who are these characters — the Keeper of the Privy Seal, and the Royal Exchequer? Sir R.: Oh. but vou are ignorant of our ways. I shall continue to inform you. The Keeper of the Privy Seal continuously re- cords the happenings of the kingdom. Then he compiles these records into books which are stored in the castle. Con- trolling financial matters was the task of the Royal Exchequer. Horace: Wow! Just like our Secretary and Treasurer. Seems like you had the same fellows, but called them different names. Guess, our times are really not so far apart. Sir R.: One might make such an observation.
