Good morning. Today we're... [pauses and sees Harriet's hand raised] Miss Elson:
Yes, Harriet? [Harriet puts her hand down and stands up out of her desk] Harriet M. Welsch:
Miss Elson, I've been thinking a lot, and you know how class president automatically gets to be editor of the sixth grade newspaper? Miss Elson:
Yes. Harriet M. Welsch:
Well... I think... I think it's too much for one person and it's not fair to everybody because everybody deserves a chance, and we should change it. [Marion slams her hand down on her desk] Marion Hawthorne:
[shouting loudly]
OBJECTION! Miss Elson:
This isn't a courtroom, Marion. Miss Elson:

[gets up from her desk]
Miss Elson, I think I speak for everybody when I say this is... this is a really, really, stupid idea! Miss Elson:

I third it. Miss Elson:
Okay, then. Harriet Welch is now a candidate for editor. Who votes for Harriet? [much to Marion's dismay, the entire class raises their hands in approval for Harriet as editor; Harriet raises both hands] Miss Elson:
And that... is that. Harriet M. Welsch:
[whispers]
Yes!
