Citation

Student Union Board officers, June 1963

Black and white photograph. Three white men in suits stands behind two seated women. On the table in front of them is judge's gavel and several sheets of paper. Everyone is looking at the spread papers with concerned expressions on their faces. The leftmost man has a shaved hair style and the one in the middle wears big glasses. The leftmost woman is white with dark hair and is wearing a bright white blouse. The other woman is black, and is wearing a dark dress and a pearl necklace. Behind them appears to be a heavy curtain.

Did you really have to gavel that bug while it was on the document Marilyn?

What lies in front of you is very classified information. Once you began to read, your life will be put in danger; in exchange, you'll each be given a smores pop tart.

"The technical term is stereograms, Barbara. But magic eye games are for kids, everyone knows that." explained Thomas in his typical know-it-all tone.

Barbara responded, "Lighten up, Thomas. This meeting is boring, and I see a dolphin on a skateboard."

1. When the meeting could've been an email... but it's 1963.
2. When you’re nominated to take notes but didn’t bring a pen...
3. When you’re trying to look interested, but all you can think about is lunch.
