Act Ong Announcer: Vo1ce 1: Vozce 2: Vozce Q: Annpuncer: Secretary of meetzng: Student 1: Student 2: Chorus: Announcer: TUDE T GOVERNME T with a new school we had a chance tc Luild a new and different type of student government. This is our story, how we argued, struggled, compromised, and in the doing built a new and differ- ent type of student government. Kthunder zn background! Listen! Kapplause! Make it progressive, throw out tradition and have something really different. Sure, that's the ideal, but will it work? For efficiency there must be a ruling body. The masses can't rule themselves .... we can't have anarchy here. we'll have a town meeting with an elected steering committee that plans the agenda .... follow the Quaker line, give the minor- ity a voice and concense .... Iloud applause! So we compromised and got along with our fellow men. But when we talked, we did not talk of the bigness of the thing which we had done .... I've copied those damn notes four times .... efficiency hell.... The trouble is - nobodyqs interested. Canasta, after all, is not quite the thing when one is learning to be a citizen of the world. Go on, get up and say something....even if you have nothing to say, get up and say you agree. Say anything, but say it. Kszngzng in background to tune of HBallad for Americansuj Building a government was mighty tough The students found the going rough. Thirteen committees were quite enough So they started to disband .... lfade out! That's right, that's the idea. The committees were found to be weakening the power of all, undermining the democratic spirit, causing a lack of unity. So we went back to only one standing committee, stripping the government to its bare essentials, but in reality we have stepped forward. We are young and strong, we build and change and build QgQin...rjubiLant voices softly Sine- zng Hallelujah in background! we look ahead .... Imusic swells!
