> (half page to fit in scriptures if they want to keep it) copy of the
> Proclamation and a stack of small blue or pink squares of paper 
> (girls-pink,
> boys-blue). Each boy was instructed to write the name of each girl in the
> room on one piece of paper, then write a quality he sees in that girl that
> he hopes to find in his future mate.  The Girls were to do the same for 
> the
> boys. The compliments were given anonymously. We piled them up and a few
> students helped me sort (incidentally, ALL the girls raised their hands to
> volunteer to sort).  Each person was given their pile and allowed time to
> read them. Then we discussed some of the qualities, and how we are 
> designed

> They
