The first part was made up of questions (name, loads of silly questions about life and love), then there was a second part where each person answering the series of question would fill up two pages with poems, best wishes, etc. They were called "Oracles" and the person who got more answers was the coolest. How pretty the second half was also played a major part. As for pen palls, mine were mostly friends who had moved away or kids my age I had met when traveling abroad. I still miss the daily, full of excitement trips to the mailbox to see if anyone had replied! OMG, we used to have a combination of slams and friendship books throughout primary and secondary school!
