Production and design, the backbone of all the major shows in the school, and the unsung artisan whose work goes unsung, as mentioned, have had enough. Early this Monday, a mob of P&D students took over the cafeteria, declaring they are going on strike. Ever since, they have made camp and are refusing to leave or let anyone in until their demands are met.
This started when P&D student and popular communist, Charlson Doole, was laughed at, kicked, and then thrown out of a meeting. Doole was asking for P&D students that have to work past school hours to get proper pay, but the administrator J.P Moneybags (father of student P.J Moneybags), instead of listening to another word said, as quoted, “BUT IF WE GIVE STUDENT MONEY, THERE WILL BE LESS FOR ME! MUHAHA.” He then took a huff from his bag of children’s souls and started the laughing, and the kicking, and the eventual throwing out of Charlson Doole.
I was lucky enough to be let into the cafeteria to talk to leader Charlson Doole, who is known in there as “Good Ol’ Dooley.” “They treat us like slaves, nay, interns, and are surprised that we will not sit down but fight for our rights to the cash. That is simply not the communist way,” said Doole, whose pet horse nayed at the end of his speech. When I asked him what inspired him to become an avid communist, he said it was when he watched the movie Rushmore during a stay at one of his family’s cottages.
This ordeal is definitely an example of the power people have to stand up for their beliefs. We do not know how long this will last, or why the police haven’t been called, but what we do know is this: Money conquers all. Goodnight and Goodluck.
