MOVIN’ UP IN THE WORLD Minnesota Girls’ State was held June 7-13, 1987 at Bethel College and Seminary. Before each girl arrived she was assigned to a city, county, and political party. During the next five days, everybody learned about government from the city level to the state level. The days were filled with political meetings, campaigning, elections, mock trials, and guest speakers. The speakers ranged from a law enforcement panel, Supreme Court Justice Coyne, Lieutenant Governor Marlene Johnson and more. The week was highlighted by a naturalization of a citizen to Girls’ State, the inauguration of state officials, the trip to the state capital, and variety night. When it was over everyone said tearful goodbyes, promised to write, and headed for home never to forget the experience of Minnesota Girls’ State. -Margie Webster- Minnesota Boys’ State was held June 14-20, 1987 at St. Johns University. When each boy arrived they were assigned to a certain city, county, and political party. From there we went to find our dorm and meet our roommates. Every morning the cities were required to get up at 6:45 a.m. for calisthenics. Then at 7:30 we all had breakfast. After breakfast, we had an hour to make our bed and pick up for inspection. We also had time to study. The morning usually consisted of a lecture on a different aspect of government in the assembly hall. Then, there was a time for organized athletic events such as: volleyball, softball, tab-letennis, and basketball which I participated in. Everyone was required to be in one of the sports. Early in the week all the Boys’ Staters were split up into two parties, Nationalists and Federalists. During the rest of the week the two parties held caucuses to elect their candidates for the state election. I was elected as a state delegate. On the last night of Boys’ State, their was a choir band concert and the inauguration of the newly elected governor. After the concert, all the staters went to a dance party in the gym where we all talked to our new friends for the last time as the week of Boys' State had come to a close for another year. -Brian Burkholder-
