Boys ' and Girls ' State ; Bill Gill Boys ' State Kim Casperson Girls ' State Towards the end of school last year, the faculty selected two juniors to attend Boys ' and Girls ' State, and Bill Gill and Kim Casperson were chosen to represent our school . A week after school ended , Bill traveled to the University of Sacramento to spend one week learning about the various governmental functions. Included was a trip to the capitol which required 24 buses to transport all the guys. Another activity was a talent show in which a young man with a deteriorated hip got up on the stage and sang, moving everyone present to tears. Every day they had a recreation period, and Bill ' s team won the flag football championship with a record of 5 wins and no losses. The trip was sponsored by American Legion Post 261 of El Monte. As Bill said, It was an experience I ' ll never forget. ' From June 30 to July 7 it was Kim Casperson ' s turn to travel to the University of Sacramento for Girls ' State. There she learned a lot about government and especially how the Senate and Assembly propose and pass bills. Over 500 girls attended and as Kim relates, The girls taught me that friendship is everlasting. The most special part to Kim was vespers . It was at night when the whole city came together to talk about the day, sing, and just get to know each other better. Kim said, Itwas sad to think of all the friends I made that I may never see again. 1 Wlf Bill in front of the state capitol. Kim and friend pose for the camera. 34
