Random post for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Loved the first season. I hope it gets renewed for a second. Reblog if you agree that it needs a second season.

evoking Truman

The classic Harry Truman line, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it's Hell."

In his book, Twelve Cent Archie, Bart Beaty lists off the class elections pitting Archie and Reggie -- and the elections that don't -- through the period a 32 page Archie comic book cost twelve cents. I assume one and half pagers were there, but he just skipped them over.

The pronouncement on the 1963 story of "one of the most moralizing conclusions ever to appear in an Archie story" is overheated -- firstly because it is easy to find plenty of morality tales and preachies, and secondly because this same premise for this same story gets played out repeatedly. But maybe on that last score Bart Beaty drops out with the price increase to fifteen cents.

They are indeed same person 😅

Shin of Minato's coin laundry and the class president of Keita Hatsukoi are both Nishigaki Sho.

He deserves to be class president, not vice! Why does he always come second? ;(((

Behind Yulia, the eighth-grade president, Andrei shuffled through his papers, questioning the stray word choices which edged their way out of his speech. His first introduction as the student body president, which he started writing two weeks before school started, mocked him with its relentless cliches and hopes for Lakeside.

He dug through his pockets for his pens, only to curse himself for not bringing one along. Ironically, Roxana mocked his habit of keeping one close to him; but the one time he actually listened to his little sister's advice, it came at the weakest possible moment.

(Andrei arranges his shirt and coat, spinning around his bedroom as if he were a hero waiting to rescue the maiden. Roxana arrives from stage right, crossing her arms)

Roxana: Andrei--why are you so hyped up? It's another convocation, after all.

Andrei (while putting his hands on her shoulders): Roxana, I'm giving the convocation speech to the entire school today. I've practiced it all of last week, and it should be perfect.

(takes a deep breath)

My fellow Lakesiders, welcome back here for another great school year! I'm Andrei Petrescu, your new class president...

(Roxana takes a crumbled wrapper and throws it on Andrei. Undeterred, Andrei takes a deep breath and resumes),

I'm excited to take the reigns for your Student Government, and I believe that you fellow freshmen can, one day, aspire to be like me.

(Roxana laughs)

Roxana: I wouldn't want to be like you, and I live with you!

Andrei (smirking): Then who would you like to be?

Roxana: Someone who wants to make the student body better without trying to be obnoxious

Andrei: That's exactly what I'm aiming for.

(Fiddles his pockets, and pulls out his pen. Roxana takes it away)

Roxana: Then you wouldn't need this at all. Thank you!

***

Of course she would take the pen, Andrei pondered, as his head fuddled over what he could add. It's a precious talisman, not like any other fountain pen people would clamor for.

But what about the student body? I have to focus on them, or else we will go nowhere.

And how about me? I'm where I want to be, but what now? Some people still want Alexander to run Student Government because of his charisma and his kindness. He rose the hierarchy, just like I did, but in a longer time...

Unfolding the paper, he took several deep breaths, invisioning the year to come. Clamoring students coming to him at Red Square, asking him questions and him providing thoughtful answers. Fencing Club with the new freshmen advancing at him. Rousing crowds, amazement, belonging.

It will all be worth it when he leaves for college.

humble fumble, ballot boxed

Not sure what "try being popular" even means. I don't think Reggie ever wins these things.

The execution on "Ballot Boxed", where after seeing how everyone is swayed by Jughead's slogan posters for Archie's candidacy Reggie buys him off and you see the rest here, leaves something to be desired. It needs just a mite better slogans than "Archie By Cracky" for me to suspend disbelief and accept. On the soundness of the premise, I am reminded that in voting for asb positions, having nothing else to go by and no clear idea of what the heck I was voting for besides a good line for the candidates' college applications, I voted for whoever have me the most number of campaign stickers.
