Humorous History: Friday, Period 1, Class 9
When class started, Jim went straight to the board and wrote four names.
George W Bush
Dwight D Eisenhower
Ronald Reagan
Franklin D Roosevelt
"These four men have something absolutely amazing in common. Well, actually, they have a lot of things in common, but let's see if you can figure out what the amazing thing is. All of them are white guys who became President. That's a good starting point. They're four of the five Presidents who have served at least two complete terms since Woodrow Wilson back during World War I. We're getting a little closer there. Three were Republicans but one was a Democrat, so that's way off."
"Oh, also, they were all cheerleaders." Jim paused and gave the camera a quick smile. "That's right, four of the five US Presidents who have served a complete two terms since World War One were cheerleaders in high school or college."
"Eisenhower became the head cheerleader at West Point after he hurt his knee playing three different sports. Bush was the head cheerleader in high school. Neither Reagan or Roosevelt were head cheerleaders, but they were both on their squads. And Roosevelt went to Harvard, so he was an Ivy League cheerleader, which sounds even more impressive even though I have no clue if that means anything special."
"I think the lesson here is clear: never make fun of a male cheerleader because they might run the free world someday."
"Okay, pair up and come up with a Presidential cheer. It can be about our current President, a former President, future Presidents, what it takes to become President, whatever you want. And then, yes, you have to perform them because it's not fun for everyone else unless you do."
