Bags' State T l -i Political parties. Rallies. Debates. Awareness. Productivity. Unity. Three hundred-twenty girls. An unforgettable experience. A week at Girls' State. We were divided into 2 political par- ties with the purpose of creating our own 5lst State. And we succeeded. lt was a government designed for us, by us. It was ours. We learned what government is really about. But it was more than a week of polit- ics. It was talking with people whose ideas were radically different from yours and working with girls from various back- grounds. lt was making new friends and recognizing the individuality of yourself and others. It was, finding unity in a group of strangers. It was an experience in living. Nancy Bell 28 Girls' State The week that l spent at Morrisville this summer proved to be a good one. I left for Boys' State with many doubts as to what it would be like. I soon found out. Our time was well planned for us. We were broken into two political parties and held city, county, and state conven- tions. These conventions sometimes turned into complete chaos. But, it was very interesting and I did gain some insight into the complexities of politics. lt was a very enioyable experience for me. We were given the opportunity td participate in many activities. They ranged from a band to a newspaper. There were also extensive athletic tourna- ments going on. l was rarely withou1 something to do. l met a lot of guys anq spent many unforgettable moments with them. Some good, some bad. l'm very thankful that l was given the opportunity to attend Boys' State. l know that I will always remember it. Thank yon. again. Mike Murphy l i l T Q
