As I recall, one of the fews boys present who was taking it all seriously was the one who got himself elected governor. One of the tasks of this role (why, I don't know since it has no equivelant in actual government) was to read each bill passed aloud prior to signing or vetoing it. Pretty much all week we were trying to pass laws that he would find embarrassing to read out loud. Because of course we had to humiliate the guy who was actually taking seriously what our sponsors back home spent thousands of dollars shipping us to Ellensburg (oh god, what punishment) to do.
