President Ravichander Rocks Legislative Session with Special Guest Maggie Katz
The highlight of hours of slow legislation and a voting process by the loudness of "Aye's" and "Nye's" came when past President Maggie Katz stopped by with snacks and drinks. To top it off, she sung and danced "I'm a little teapot." Not to be outdone, upon reelection, Mike "Spree" Haber brought all the Region II Section Chairs up to perform a mass dance of "I'm a little teapot." President Ravichander has yet to act as a teapot. Edit: Despite the claims on his facebook page.

We chose an obese ninja in black and red tights and a pillow in his stomach, a robot in full metallic cardboard gear, super mario, a princess and a cat-girl among others. Some of the parents were ...
