STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM TRIPS TO WILLIAMSBURG AND RADFORD 1967 representatives discuss assembly programs and experiences. In the summer of 1967, Judy Andrews, Martha Wachsmuth, and Jennie Carpenter attended Girl ' s State at Radford College. The week before, Jeff O ' Dell, Johnny Beazley, and Henry Burruss went to Boy ' s State at William and Mary. At Girl ' s State, for the first time, a record of the Glee Club and the entire Girl ' s State was made by the Silver Crest Record Company from New York. The boys took interesting slides and used them to present an interesting assembly program to the students. All of the delegates agree that Girl ' s State and Boy ' s State cannot be defined in concrete terms. Only as a personal experience can Girl ' s State and Boy ' s State be truly inspirational. This inspiration will remain with the THS students for years to come. ga« 1 1968 candidates plan trips to Radford and Williamsburg for June. 8
