These girls of Calif. at were chosen to Davis, june 26- attend Girls Nation july 4 This is the 24th Session of California Girls State jo Ann Yee, '66 US Senator, Beatrix Oswald, '67 Senatorg Governor Marian Jeffery, Gov. 1966 Claire Larson The American Legion Auxiliary started the Girls ' State program in California in 1940, at Grant Union High School, North Sacramento with 120 girls. The 1941 enrollment was 167. Due to the war no sessions were held 1942-1943-4-55 but resumed in 1947 with 250 girls. 1948 saw 317 girls and 1949 had 338. Sessions were then moved to Calif. junior HS, Sacramento and in 1957 moved to the UC -Davis campus . Believing that more schools in the program was more desirable than more girls from any one school Girls State has been limited to ONE girl per school, but Units can sponsor more than one school. The registration fee includes bus fare for those outside 50 miles. Gladys Farrand, a past state president of the Auxiliary, has been the Director since 1958. She de- serves great credit for her well-organized and smooth- Working program for these outstanding girls of California. fRumor: Tunnel from Fairgrounds to Davisj Bobbie Comenzind, Polite-Popular-Pretty --and Smart Too Dept.
