and two varsity-esque boys who
had not been invited to the party,
but had come from an adjoining

with occasional brief rests.
At the end each Judge had
written the names of two girls on
a slip of paper, folding the paper
SO that none but himself might
know how he had voted. Then
q member Of the Pageant commit
tee had collected the votes and
deposited them in a golden apple
the size Of basketball, and sealed
the apple.
