cHa . Staters On an early August morning, six very excited but hesitant girls boarded a bus with many others and headed for Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge for the annual Louisiana Pelican State. The following morning, four eager young men took the same route. There, both groups spent a week with over 1200 others, all of whom had been selectively chosen as ours were. During this week of laughter, tears, singing, chanting, and lack of sleep, the delegates actually became mythical states with their own constitutions and laws. All delegates ran and were elected to offices during their stay: Tingate |ue. House of Representatives; Butch Parker, Deputy Sheriff; Chuck Nance, City At¬ torney; Eric Miller, Supreme Court Judge; Connie May, House of Representatives; Shawn Dixon, City Attorney; Ashley Dug¬ gan, Fire Chief; Karen Cain, Coroner, elected Best Coroner, executive assistant to the Secretary of State; and Amy Winder, Clerk of the House of Represen¬ tatives, Registrar of Voters, and elected to return as counselor. Pelican State will live long in the hearts and minds of this group. ? ecoqnize d as Top right: Girls ' Staters never sat down on the job.
