Q. 21 mum,-...ii f 5 BOYS NATION The two most outstanding boys from California Boys State join those from other states in a session of Boys Nation on the campus of University of Mary- land, College Park, Md. Here the boys receive in- struction in the operation of our national government. Visits are made to government offices and points of interest in and near Washington, D.C. Delegates to Boys Nation are considered Senators from their re- spective states and are given the opportunity to en- gage in legislative practice. Keen competition re- sults in a lively campaign for the election of a Presi- dent of Boys Nation. Three California boys have achieved that honor. In 1955 Governor Doug Hopper of Glendale was the first Californian to have held that office. In 1958 Lt. Gov. Dan Lund of Los Angeles and in 1959 Governor Keith julian of La- Mesa were also honored by election to the high office of President of Boys Nation.

They use their own good judgment in making their laws, operating their governments, and deciding the penalty for breaking their laws.
