Well, frankly, I dont know. I think they are making a vallient effort to get speakers that will appeal to the students as well as getting as many students as they can on stage. I just think they should do something every once in a while to mix things up, see if anyone really is awake. Maybe in the middle of a speach make fun of a teacher who is usually asleep. Or better yet, do a fun assembly. Maybe a collection of funny skits (that were rehursed). Maybe have a mini variety show, or even better, a dance off. Maybe show the current play. Have a comidian come in. Now theres an idea... colleges get presidents to speak, why cant we get the mayor, or a local improv group. Anything ... just try once and a while to wake us up!
