Farrar, BOYS' AND GIRLS' STATE Early Sunday morning, july 14, 1957, an excited group of Glass students left for a week at Boys' and Girls' State at V.l'.l., Blacksburg, Virginia. These students had been chosen at the end of their Junior Year to participate in this governmental program with students from every high school in Virginia, who were also elected for their outstanding qualities. The jam-packed week was one never to be forgotten and was considered by everyone to be one of the most wonderful experiences of his life. To these delegates, up at break-of-dawn, exer- cise for the boys, inspection, chapel assembly, city sessions, State politics, elections, athletics and recreation, the Governorls Ball, and Burrus Hall assemblies at night were familiar events. UVVelre from Draper, mighty mighty Draper . . . , UGO to your left, your right, your left . . .,', S-T-U-A-R-T, and the many other chants helped to build the State's proud spirit into a bond, uniting all who participated. Every boy and girl who attends this American Legion sponsored project holds an office which can be anything from Governor to the City jailer! The E. C. Glass delegation was particularly proud to have two of their group win outstanding positions. Out of 500 fboys, John Mott Robert- son was elected Lt. Governor, the second highest office in Boys' State. Janet Duke was chosen by the girls in her city to be Mayor, the top city office, and in return, she led Draper City to the coveted honor of being chosen Model City of Girls, State. Other Glass students who won significant offices are: Leyburn Mosby, Assistant justice of the Supreme Court and Clerk of the House of Delegates, Wylie Cooke, Com'monwealth's Attorney, Tim Hapgood and H. C. Thaxton, Delegates to the House of Delegates, Barbara Harris, Clerk of the Senate, Betsy Tweedy, Senator, and Jane Baber, Floor Leader of the House of Delegates. f22l
