The Teach- ers recommend students, with at least a B average, who are then interviewed by the American Legion. Eight finalists are then selected to attend the six day meeting at Temple Buell and C.S .U. The Participants elect Government Officials, all the way from Governor to Dog Catcher, participate in meetings where Parliamentary procedure is mandatory, and finally elect two boys and two girls to represent Colorado in Washing- ton, D .C. at Girls' and Boys' Nation. Through these extensive and exhausting six days, the Students acquire a tremendous knowledge of Government and its functions. 29
