Roger Water's POV
The excitement was crazy. All my high school career I've been waiting for this moment. For the first point in my life, I am top dog, head banana, the big cheese, and there is no denying it. I can't wait for the meeting so I can finally assert my dominance. First, I have to walk done the hall and give end of day announcements; as I go, I see that Roger Daltrey doofus making out with some random girl. In the cafeteria, George Harrison is making great use of his study period by looking for the remnants of lunch period. Finally I make it to the office, where Bob Dylan is office assistant. Unfortunately for him, the member of the yearbook committee tasked with taking photographs of a random day in the office is Tom Petty, and let's just say we can assume ninety percent of the photographs Tom have taken probably have Bob in them.

"Okay Bob, just one more with you with the principal?"

"Tom, you have the entire semester to get a couple pictures. Why so many all at once?"

Poor Bob. I had to save him, all I could come up with was, "Uh Tom, I heard down in the theater room they're starting work on props for an Alice in Wonderland play, you should go down there and get some pictures, for all you know you'll get to dress up as the mad hatter or something."

"Oh, my goodness," Tom beamed, being he adores Alice in Wonderland, "I'm going down there right away!" At which point Tom ran out of the office.

"Thanks man," Bob said,"that kid was starting to worry me."

"No problem," I said. "I don't think he means any harm, he's just young and awkward, but he'll turn into something good, I think."

"You're probably right, Roger," Bob responded. "What would be hilarious would be if that Lennon guy is down there when Tom goes all Alice crazy. Being that is his favorite book too, that might actually give him an idea."

"Yeah, well I guess it's time for me to start giving announcements,"at which point I stepped over to the PA system and starting reading announcements,"As you all know, today there will be the first student council meeting of the year, so all representatives should meet in the auditorium for the meeting. Next week begins hot lunch, so for any of you guys who actually have the stomach to digest our slop, be in the cafeteria bright and early," at which point the principal gave me a nasty look, Bob started laughing profusely, "Okay, and, uh, fall tryouts begin tomorrow, and theater club meets Friday."

"That was rather brazen of you Mr. Waters," Principal Presley scolded. "Remember, I can have you removed from student council as quickly as you got on it."

"Yes sir," I said, just another example of schools' oppression of independent student thought. You know, I really should write a song about it, or even a whole concept album! Anyways,  it was time to gather my things from my last class so I go down for the meeting. Just a short walk back done the hallway and I am in my last class: physics. Over at the teacher's desk I see Brian May asking the teacher a bunch of questions about topics I have never even heard about. Fortunately, the teacher seems reasonably amused at his incredible curiosity. I grabbed my things and started down for the auditorium. I must make sure to be the first one there.

By the way, yes Elvis is the principal. It seemed fitting.
