Girls State Girls State was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and was held at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul. Throughout the week, the real importance of our government was shown to us. We elected city, county and state officials, had city and counciling meetings, made new friends, caucused at our party conventions and held a Governor's inauguration. We spent one day at the state capi- tol where we acted out the duties of die Senate and as Representa- tives by writing and voting on several bills. When we arrived at Girls State, we were strangers; when we left, we were all held together by the bond of a 1976 Girls Stater. Lynnette Bouta Boys State Boys State was held on the beautiful campus of St. John's University. Here with approximately 450 boys, I had the privilege of learning the fundamentals of our government. During this week of political activity, we heard from many outstanding speakers who covered the three branches of our government. I will always remember the friends met and the lessons taught in this week of enriching activity. I am indebted to the American Legion and Benson Senior High School for letting me have the honor of representing them at a great place — Boys State, 1976. James Long DECA I arrived in the United States on the 17th of July, and afterwards arrived in Benson, Minnesota with my family for the year, the Grif- fins. I come from New Zealand and live on a dairy farm thirteen miles out of a town called Pahiatua. Pahiatua has a population of 3,000 and is located in the North Island of New Zealand. I went to Taraua College which has 650 pupils from grades 8 to 12. The school system at home is much stricter and is based on nation-wide exami- nations which are completed at the end of pupils 10th, 11th, and 12th grade years. Because of these exams, pupils at home have fairly tight schedules without the large amounts of extracurricular activi- ties that are offered to the pupils of Benson High School. Many sub- jects that are offered here such as Ecology, Psychology and Human- ities are not offered at home until students go to a University so stu- dents here have a much wider range of courses to choose from. When I return home in July, I plan to attend Victoria University to study law. I have been extremely fortunate to be able to spend a year in the United States that was an election year as it has taught me a lot about your election process. I have found Benson a very lively and friendly town. I have enjoyed my stay here tremendously, the peo- ple are kind, generous, and friendly. Americans have a nation and people to be proud of.
