Judy Currie was the Girls State delegate and Margi Brayton was se- lected as alternate. Judy's theme was to vote for Currie Comb for State School Marm. Her costume and favors were decorated with combs. She was a member of the Pioneer Party and was assigned to Bison City. Her education time was spent in the Senate where they passed a few bills and had a taste of legislative procedure. Judy changed her office before the pri- mary election and won a seat as a Judge of the District Courts in the general election. The week was highlighted by the trip to Cheyenne where she sat in the court cham- bers. While in the Supreme Court building, for the first time inGirls State history, they heard a real case in the State Judicial Court. Currie Comb Bill Goodman went to Douglas for Boys State where he ran for the office of State Treasurer in the Frontier Party. He chose the courts when the boys were divided into Legislative and Judiciary systems. Bill worked on the BOYS STATER,the newspaper produced by the boys. This year's edition was the largest ever produced, and Bill was impressed with the way each boy worked to make the newspaper a complete report. According to Bill, Boys State is more than an ordinary, run-of- the-mill experience. It is a unique and nonpareil adventure. It cannot truthfully be described except as unique or great. To really appre- ciate it, one must participate in it wholeheartedly. Bill, Mr. DeJarnett, Dan
