THE RISE OF THE CROWN

The place : Bangor, Maine

The time: Nighttime

IN THE BEGINNING...
...there were four guys: Nick Carlisle, Stew Wright, Andy Silver, and Joe Ervin, watching a soccer game, and discussing the fallacies in a certain quantum mechanics theory. As a result, the idea was brought up to start a new organization. At first, we decided to form a club in which we would watch silent movies and hold quilting bees, but that idea was soon discarded in favor of an organization in opposition to women's rights, so to speak. Thus, K.C.C. was born amidst much enthusiasm.
THEN THERE WERE MEMBERS...
...and good thing, too, since an executive board isn't as much fun to be on when there is no one over whom to rule. Needless to say, thousands of people were dying to join K.C.C., and after countless interviews and a thourough examination of applications, a select few were inducted into our hallowed ranks.
BUT WE NEEDED SOMETHING TO DO...
...so we began preliminary plans for "Mission: Go-to-a-QCC-meeting-and-yell-and-chant- and-generally-be-asses." After much training in our own personal "hell week," we weeded out those too weak to embark on such a mission (read : Mike Reid). Finally, we were ready.
THE FIRST ATTACK...
...was a great success.
THE NEXT DAY...
...found proud K.C.C. members donning matching t-shirts. The buzz of the day in school was of the events of the preceding night. Freshmen stared at us in awe, dreaming of the day when they, too, could partake in such activities and recieve so darned much respect. Groups of good looking women sat drooling at the daring, muscular K.C.C. members and marvelled at their amazing bravery and muscular bodies. Teachers and administration simply smiled and shook their heads, wondering how an extracurricular club could do so much good for the school and the community. It is rumored that Governor Angus King himself called Principal Nickerson and inquired how to join K.C.C.
BUT THAT WAS ONLY FOR STARTERS...
...and, not to boast, but we are all super-geniuses. And, since Q.C.C. has no super-geniuses, we decided to hit their weakness. You see, they wanted to retaliate. Bad. So we formed a plan to spread the word of a top-secret K.C.C. meeting. It was fake, of course, and surprise surprise, they fell for it. With their new-found knowledge of a meeting at President Nick's house at 7:00 p.m. on a stormy Thursday night, Q.C.C. made plans to ambush the meeting. Heh, heh...if only they knew...
SO WE WAITED...
...on Nick's porch for their big "surprise" attack. We were armed with water balloons and soon the faint, wimpy giggles of girls could be heard among the fringes of the Carlisle property. With perfect timing, we stood up and charged the pathetic ranks of Q.C.C. Oh, man...if only you could've seen their surprised faces while they, in their girlish nature, screamed and ran. Armageddon had begun! We were not deterred by the threatening cheeze-whiz they carried, but instead thouroughly doused them and forced them into retreat. We even managed to capture their prize, which consisted of a few mangled pieces of paper which read, in tiny writing, "MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN COOKIES!" Whatever, girls...
THE RISE OF A NEW GENERATION...
...with the graduation of many members, reign over K.C.C. was placed into the able hands of Mac Carr and Andy Silver.
THE PROMISE CONTINUES...
...indeed. With the parting of so many influential members to college, the Club drew up preliminary plans to open new chapters in Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and southern Maine, each graduating member holding jurisdiction over their respective regions. During this year, ten new members were inducted, further strengthening the power of KCC.
A NEW GENERATION...
...of members continued to uphold the ideals of KCC under the presidentship of Mac Carr and Andy Silver. Many viewed the next year as an "off year" for the club, and perhaps rightfully so, as some club events included leaving a raw fish on someone's dashboard and trying to run down QCC members with cars. However, amidst all these questionable happenings, KCC was able to prove that it could flourish.
AND OF COURSE, THE THIRD CLASS...
...gave KCC a new twist. Perhaps it was inevitable that KCC were to become forerunners in the community service field, but surely no one expected such a vast impact to be had. The latest buzz among the streets of Bangor is of the five hundred dollars raised by KCC for Manna Ministries. Now the only question is, what will co-presidents BJ Carr and Seth Gass do next to further push KCC into the spotlight?
UNTIL NEXT TIME...
