The room filled with grumbles and the sound of shuffling binders, and when we''d all pretty muplied with her request, she picked a stack ht yelloers off her desk, fahem with an evil grin, and said, "It''s time to vote for basket boys!"
A wave of relief swept across the room. "Basket boys? You mean it''s not a quiz?"
She ticked through the stack, ting ballots as she spoke. "It is like a quiz in that I don''t want you ferring with one another. It''s also like a quiz in that you have a limited amount of time." She slapped a t of ballots down on the first desk of row ohe on to the d row. "I will collect them from you individually when the bell rings, and I will io e that you have plied with the following instrus." She scooted over to row three. "Choo five, and only five, of the boys on the list. Do not put your name on it, and do not discuss your choices with your neighbors." She was on to row four now, talking faster and faster. "When you''ve made your les, simply turn your sheet over." She slapped the remainder down on the last desk. "Do not, I repeat, do not fold your ballot!"
