MY FAVORITE SUBJECT My favorite subject is General Business. I have learned many facts which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't taken this subject. It is not a hard subject but as with all subjects, plenty of study is needed. General Business is made up of several different subjects such as insurance, money, banks, budgeting, filing, and taxes. These are all very helpful in your everyday life. One of the reasons why General Business appeals to me is, you have a change in subject with every new chapter. It isn't the same thing day after day. Terms and their defini-tions which are given at the end of each chapter enable you to learn in a much easier way. Bonnie Roberts '62 My favorite subject is Sociology. This subject gives one an idea of what is going on around us and how to handle the problems once we meet up with them. Some of the things mentioned are Why we Behave as we Do, The Struggle for Social Position, 'kThe Crime Problem, and Prob- lems in C-ivic Affairs. From studying this, one gets an idea of how these problems are handled by the public.

Ladies do there stay With hair that's golden And the boys I say Are not so olden. If you don't believe If you think I lie, Go to the valley And see same as I. Bernard Ward '62

GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS' STATE 1958 Vermont Green Mountain Boys' State was held this year at Nor- wich University in Northfield, Vermont. It was held during the week of june 14 to june 21. Two hundred and forty-one boys, chosen from the Junior classes all over the state, attended this year. The American Legion sponsors Boys' State each year to teach Junior boys all over the country the functions of their state and local government. Boys' State in Vermont is divided up into six towns and these towns are then divided into three counties. The towns hold town meetings and elect officers for the week. The counties hold caucuses to get organized for the rest of the week. Later elections are held and the state government is organized. In this way the boys participate ir1 the government work themselves and, as a consequence, learn faster. I arrived at Northfield about three o'clock Sunday, June 14, and registered. This began a week I will never forget. After I got my clothes unpacked and my bed made, my roommate and I went out for a walk around the campus. We were a little late getting back for our preparation to go down to the infirmary for our physicals, but there were several other boys that came in later than we did so the bawling out we got wasn't so bad. After that we were always on time. The meals at Boys' State were cooked and served by regular Norwich cooks and waiters. They were just wonderful. I think that Boys' State is a very good way of teaching the leaders of tomorrow how the government operates. I wish that every Junior boy could have the chance I had to go to Boys' State. I would like to thank the American Legion and all my sponsors in Chelsea for making it possible for me to go. My special thanks go to the student body for choosing me to represent Chelsea I-Iigh School.
