S Members of 1966 Girls' and Boys' State were Janice Buck- ner and Tim Downey. Y California Girls' and Boys' State are sponsored by the American Legion and its auxiliary. Each year a junior boy and girl are chosen to go to the State conventions in Sacramento at the close of the school year. Members are chosen by a committee of administrators and teachers on the basis of scholarship, citizenship, character, leadership, sportsmanship, and physical fitness, The girls and boys are organized into groups of about twenty-five, called cities , into counties, and finally into one large group, the K'state. They learn by doing-by governing themselves they learn the structure and functions of a demo- cratic government. Being a member is a great honor, and a great opportunity to learn and make lifelong friendships.
