Lasting Friendships Established LEFT TO RIGHT: Ricky Corum. Harold Cox, Connie Copeland. Danny Springer, and Jimmy White. Connie Copeland represented our school at Girls’ State, which was held on the campus of Huntington College. Al- though the week was hectic, she enjoyed it thoroughly. In addition to the many lectures and speeches about state gov- ernment, the week included much recreation. Connie decided after much debate, that she enjoyed the good food and the opportunity of meeting new friends best of all. Representatives to Boys' State, held on the campus of Troy State University, were Jimmy White, Danny Springer, Ricky Corum, and Harold Cox. Our representatives had to rise and shine at 5:30 every morning for military marches. They viewed many films, attended assemblies, and visited the State Capitol. Like Connie, they attended many lec- tures and speeches about state government. The boys decided the best parts were the good food, sports, meeting new people, and above all the water battles.
