A sad day for Vikings everywhere


"In the end, Santa Monica High students submitted nearly 1 million votes out of the 5 million cast."



Back in my day this wouldn't have happened (by gum).

Even the principal, Ilene Straus, was giddy. "I'm so excited!" she said, sitting in the basketball gym where the media had set up camp. She was surrounded by camera crews and reporters scribbling on notepads. "High school education is very serious. The stakes are high. But this, today, is a time to enjoy high school kids, to enjoy the energy."


Never had a "giddy" principal. I can think of other adjectives, but not giddy.

Otherwise, words utterly escape me.
