"And there was a group of us there assigned to clean it up. And I thought, ‘How are we going to clean up all the mess?'" The student in charge, who was not the teenaged Mitt, organized them into lanes and encouraged them to focus on their own territory. "Today, we’re cleaning one lane if you will," Romney finished.
