Mr. and Miss BHS Are Chosen Mr. and Miss BHS honors were given to the Senior boy and girl whom the student body elected by popular vote. Before the votes were cast, students were asked the question, Who would be the best representative for Bismarck High School, any place and any time? Because of their outstanding personalities and friendliness, Joyce Estep and Mickey Ball were selected during the early months of the school year. After graduation, Joyce, a petite, green-eyed blonde, plans to enroll in Nursing School. Mickey plans to enlist in the United States Navy. 21

Leadership Today For Tomorrow David Breashears, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Breashears, attended the annual Boys State session during the first week of June 1968. His session was spent in campaigning and carrying on the actual activities of a democratic government at Camp Robinson. Under the sponsorship of the American Legion Auxiliary, its purpose was and still is to develop in young men a sense of individual obligation as leaders in governmental affairs. 4 Sharon Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Hughes, and Kay Hardage, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hardage, were selected to represent the school at Girls State. Girls State, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary during June 9-15, 1968, was a week of intensive training in democratic government for 1,020 high school junior delegates. Using the facilities of Camp Robinson and with the cooperation of the Arkansas National Guard, the twenty-sixth session began under the responsibility of the committee. Delegates are assigned to different imaginary cities and counties. Sharon was a member of Wilson City, Webster County and Kay a member of Adams City, Albert Pike County. The Sunday arrival brought about many new acquaintances. At 3 p.m. everyone rushed to Lloyd England Hall where the session was opened by Gov. Sandusky. Each delegate completed the session by a colorful capping ceremony. Kay and Sharon were both members of the blue cap (Nationalist) Party. At 7:30 each night the flag was lowered in a vespers ceremony. The week was filled with campaigning for city, county, then state offices and visitation of special guests. Gov. Rockefeller made his official visit. An old cannon fired a salute for his welcome. After inauguration and a visit to the State Capitol, the session ended on Saturday. 2
