GIRLS CAN TOO! - Girls state members Wendy Johnston fleltl, Cor- rine Cone lmiddley, and Kirsten Pramenko frightt flaunt their success as state members. Students elected as state leaders Top Big Sky students represented the school at the state Boys' and Girls' State assembly in Dillon and Helena last year. They were referred by teachers and then elected by classmates to become a state member. For six days, students actually elected officials and organiz- ed the government at a city, a county and a state level. They threw campaigning parties where students used personal gim- micks to get elected. Some of the Big Sky Boys came out in cheerleading outfits while others mooned the crowd. It was a blast! said senior Mike Bragg. Most of the members strongly recommended juniors to try out for state. At state, students also went to lectures and discovered the complicated but interesting aspects of running for office or run- ning an election. They also learned about different party policies and what is needed to be a good politician. Then, after the last candidate had been elected and the last campaign banner was trashed, it was time to head- back to their respective towns. Many new friendships had been formed and many old friend- ships were drawn closer. The last six days had been some of the busiest as well as most rewarding of their lives. GUESS WHAT WE DID? - Boys' state members fabove lefty elected to high seats at state were Brad I-luse Qleftt, who was selected as Secretary of State, and K. C. McGowan Qrightj as Chief of the Supreme Court. ALL AMERICAN BOYS! - Boys' state members ffrom left to rightj K. C.
