Eight of Sylvan Hill’s “best” attend Girls’ and Boys’ State Boys' State means a lot of things for different people. For some it means one week of marching in the hot sun, one week without your girl-friend, or maybe even kindling new friendships. But for the four boys from Sylvan Hills, it meknt a week of hard work and dedication to prove themselves worthy of rep- resenting Sylvan Hills. Not all of the time was spent marching or learning the democratic system, there were times when they would sit in their bunch and rap about their homes, or girls, or just how bad the food really was at dinner. Many of the lessons learned can only be understood by those who attended. 92

 Don’t forget your cap was the statement most frequently heard during the 1971 Girls’ State Week. Clashing 36 different songs in in- comprehensible discord shook the walls of Lloyd England Hall. A theme song was composed from each of the 36 counties. Flag ceremonies, patriotic singing, and participation in gov- ernment proceedings became a part of every day life to Damita Brooks, Carol Coaley, Jeanne Par- ker, and Rhonda DeBerry. During the week, 1,044 girls were taught self-discipline and endurance. OPPOSITE A BOVE: 1971 Delegates to Boys’ State are; Left to Right: Jimmy Summers, Gary Burchfield, James Smith, and John Moss.
