Meet the boys! The pairs who are next to each other in the table are bunkmates; newsies in the left column are in top bunks, and those on the right are in bottom bunks. If you want to claim a character from the movie, make sure his name isn't listed; if it is, he's already taken.

By the time Jack finishes introducing you to an overwhelming array of boys, Racetrack has gotten a poker game started. Jack looks on wistfully. "I t'ink I'll ask 'em to deal me in, kid. You's only got one more step before yer interview, anyhow." At your apprehensive look, he chuckles. "Yeah, there's an interview, but don't worry--just be honest an' thorough, an' you'll prob'ly get yerself a bunk. But there's one more t'ing that better be fresh in yer mind 'fore ya goes down to Kloppman's office...an' that's the rules."
