Students Four of the most outstanding students from Elston spent a week at Indiana State University, attending Hoosier State. Those representing Elston at Girls’ State were Sue Bremer and Amy DeMasi. Paul Shinn and Ed Davis were representatives for Boys’ State. During each session, the students observed and participated in a mock state government. Sue Bremer, after campaigning for office on the National Party ticket, was elected to the City Council. Her job was to appoint city officials. From the opposite party, was Amy DeMasi, an elected Federalist, who won a seat in the House of Representatives. Here, she gained experience in the process of lawmaking. Performing in the Executive branch was Ed Davis, a member of the Federalist Party. He was elected Mayor of ficticious Sheline County, thereby experiencing the workings of local government. Representing the National party, Paul Shinn was chosen as a delegate to the State Convention. He was also given the prestigious and much sought after position of Flag Bearer, during the morning services. All four students enjoyed themselves in Terre Haute. They all commented on how much they learned and the many people they met, also, that this experience proved beneficial in many ways. The Boys’ State representatives. Ed Davis and Paul Shinn.
