Do you hear the people sing...

...Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind the plowshare
They will put away the sword
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward.

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes...
- Finale from Les Miserables

Yeah, get a bunch of knee-jerk liberal prep kids riled up over something like their favorite teacher possibly being asked to resign and we get all revolutionary on you. This just in, though: the headmaster did have the meeting, and he will be forced to resign. I don't know if it will be at the end of the year or what. However, there will be no senior gift to the school this year. We're going to donate to a charity or some such thing - none of it will go to the school. And a lot of the young alumni are going to stop paying any sort of donations or anything. And we're wearing our t-shirts every day and having silent marches around the QUAD during 15-minute break every day. The "no more money for you" thing is what we're hoping will get them, though. I mean they don't care about a bunch of t-shirt and armband wearing teenagers. But alumni do pay a lot of money. And we're not going to give them a cent - neither will about 5 years ahead of us or the 3 grades below us.

Well, that's all that's going on right now.
