SACtual Harrasment
Have you ever wondered what the SAC actually do, if, in fact, they do anything? Well, I did, so I went to a recent meeting, and took a personal note of the "minutes" of the meeting. Here’s how the caper came down.
* Note: "Shut up" denotes everytime the meeting burst into separate conversation, and no one was paying attention, so the execs yelled at them.
2:48 - No one in the lecture hall. 10 minutes later, a friend tells me that the SAC always come late, and today it was being held at 3:00 in a class room due to lack of attendance.
3:10 - After everyone is settled, they bring up the first issue: a semi-formal. They ask for names, and one person responds, generally, no one cares.
3:11 - Shut up*, Sabrina pleads for the semi, "What’s the point of having it if the SAC doesn’t even want to go?" I agree totally.
3:12 - Representatives of the lower grades ask why they can’t go, the execs say "tradition". Which basically says that the higher grades want to fail by themselves. Shut up #2.
3:13 - Shut up #3, vote for semi-formal name. First vote: seven people vote. Two are executives, and one was conducting the vote. Second vote: 22 to 9, most people voted twice.
3:16 - Mr. Salt tells the SAC that they are obviously the most popular kids in the school, and the best students, and then dumps on them for ignoring the school’s athletics department.
3:18 - Shut up #4.
3:19 - Spirit Week. Coordinator doesn’t bother to show up.
*Spirit Week Preview* - here’s what the execs came up with, listed now so you don’t have to groan later.
1. Snowball throwing - it’s OK in the caf, but not in the field? What’s with that?
2. "Ho Ho Hoing" competition - My dream of living out a "Leon’s" commercial has come true!
3. Santa dressing - All Santas must be wearing Woodlands Academy uniforms to compete.
Footnote - response to these ideas were summed up by one SAC member in the back of the room who bluntly said "They suck"
3:20 - Mr. Hedges walks in with a metal container filled with cash and asks the room if they want to buy any more SAC jackets, then leaves, with money still in grasp.
3:22 - Execs make a weak attempt at taking the attendance.
3:23 - Thoughts shift to an SAC Christmas party, suggestions include Chuck E. Cheese.
3:24 - Shut up #5.
3:25 - A heated debate starts over the spelling of "Chuck E. Cheese".
3:26 - Shut up #6, shut up #7, debate on how to vote.
3:28 - Shut up #8.
3:29 - Shut up #9.
3:30 - Sabrina lays down the law, bitches at everyone inferior to her, and then everyone leaves.
