** NOTE: It is possible that some of these characters did not exist in the states
at the time the votes will be taken. This is obviously a no vote.
***NOTE: It is to be assumed that all characters described above were born in the Unites States.
****NOTE: This game is designed for a class of thirty-six pupils. If the class
size is less, eliminate characters from the bottom of the last five groups so
groups remain in approximately equal numbers. Try to leave the first group as
is in order to bring in the vote for eighteen year olds.
