My Senior year, some friends and I decided that we wanted to have some fun with the Student Council elections. We weren't running for anything as we were graduating, but we had this idea to start a Socialist party. The school used to have elections with only two parties (hmm, does that sound familiar) and the parties were named after our school colors. The ironic thing is the colors were red and white. We called our party Hadsoc (after 1984) and ran a slate of underclassmen. We also put up posters from our spokesman Half-brother. They said stupid things like 2+2=2.5, why because I said so, and Vote Hadsoc because Half-brother knows karate and will beat up your dog.
Apparently this did not go over well with the administration and we were faced with not going to the Prom(big freaking deal) and not walking at graduation(a really big deal to family). In the end we had to cease and desist, but our slate did garner 10% of the vote.
