Students Attend Girls' and Boys' States Richard Graff, Ward Patterson, Ruth Ann Hagerman, Tom Brittain, David Mc Bride. Girls from throughout Ohio gathered for Buckeye Girls' State at Capital Univer- sity in Columbus to learn about their gov- ernment while many boys gathered for Boys' State at Camp Perry for the same purpose. Boys' State is sponsored by the American Legion, and Girls' State by the American Legion Auxilliary, Ruth Ann Hagerman attended Girls' State, and David Mc Bride, Tom Brittain, Dick Groff, and Ward Patterson attended Boys' State. They were the representatives from Madison. At Girls' State the girls were divided into cities, counties, and political parties. Each city elected officials and made laws. Page Twenty-six The county and state officials carried on campaigns and circulated petitions. The petitions were filed, then primary elections were held. There was last minute cam- paigning, and the final election was held. The government offices were set up and operated as much like the real government as possible. Boys' State was conducted in a very similar manner. Nominating conventions were held instead of a primary election. The candidates for Girls' and Boys State are juniors chosen on a basis of scholastic standing, leadership, citizenship, and school organizations.
