BOV'S STATE Boy's State 1971 was characterized by its emphasis on education, voter involvement, and fun. Five hundred senior-bound young men meeting at Wake Forest University heard lectures, held discussions, and took part in a moot government which was lauded as being one of the most organized and comprehensive in the American Legion's Boy's State history. In the off hours , all were involved in extra-curricular activities such as sports, a newspaper, or our moot court. There was never time to do nothing . Discussions in the dorms added spice to the week's stay and whetted everyone's appetite for the ensuing college years. The week was capped by an all-campus party sponsored by the student government and with the Boy's State participants as special guests. Needless to say, everyone was sorry to come home, everyone met new and different people, and everyone learned a lot about the mechanics of state government. This years representatives from BHS were Rae Brown and Vernon Harrell. GIRLS STATE Each summer, three hundred girls are selected from North Carolina to attend Tar Heel Girl's State. It was held at UNC-G from june 20-26. Lou Harrell, Izma Robbins, (no longer attending Burgaw High School) and Ann Trainer were chosen to represent Pender County. Girl's State is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The purpose is to give each girl an understanding of the structure of the state government. It operates like a miniature state government; where each person is a citizen in a town, a voter in a precinct, and a member of a political party. The first day the members were divided into six towns. Each town selected a mayor and drafted a town charter, then it divided into two political parties: the Nationalist Party and the Federalist Party. On the second day, the members began to build the party platform. On the third day, the campaigning began. As it turned out, there was a split ticket. The Lt. Governor was a Nationalist. The Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General were all Federalists. Lectures were given throughout the week. Most pertained to politics and the gov- ernment. There was a lot of free time, but the members couldn't leave campus. It is horrible to be turned loose and have nowhere to go. The best part of Girl's State was meeting so many people. They were all nice, very refined, all different and interesting. 25
