Seven Fellows Attend Empire State Seven boys from IHS, sponsored by various civic-minded organizations, ar- rived at Colgate University, June 24, 1956, to attend the annual Empire Boys' State sponsored by the American Le- gion. Cities, Counties Organized At Boys' State the nine hundred high school fellows organized their dormi- tories into thirty cities and ten coun- ties. The cities were named for state leaders of the American Legion, the counties for national leaders. Each boy held an office in the government of the cities, counties or state. Federalists and Nationalists Two political parties, the Federalist and the Nationalist, were formed to nominate candidates for the state of- fices. Party caucuses in smoke-filled rooms lasted far into the night. Electioneering Strenuous electioneering with brass bands and speaker cars followed. Elec- tion day, with voting on actual voting machines, was the high point of Boy's State. Leaders Speak In addition to learning from their own activities, the boys gained a knowl- edge of governmental proceedings from numerous New York State leaders who spoke to them. Sports Events Recreation time was spent in staging track meets, football games, tennis tour- naments, swimming matches, and other major sports contests.
