Hickman Represented at Girls' Nation Busy, exciting, and memorable mo- ments of posters, smiles, and campaign speeches are descriptive of The American Legion Auxiliary Missouri Girls' State.

The highlights of the week included Wednesday night party rallies--Federalists trying to out yell the Nationalists--and the election of governor the following morning. The trip to Jefferson City to practice what we had learned about government in action enabled tours to be taken of the capitol and Supreme Court Buildings and to meet the politically elite. The candlelight ceremony Saturday night was the most inspirational event at Girls' State. Each girl was sponsored by a Columbia woman's organization such as: Junior Chamber of Commerce Wives, Altrusa, Columbia Business and Professional Womens Club, and American Legion Auxiliary. A summary and report to the club which sponsored each girl and to the American Legion Auxiliary concluded the duties of the delegates. Hickman High School was honored to have Sally Ginn selected as delegate to Girls' Nation. Girls' Nation is held in Washington, D,C,, the last week in July. Two delegates from each state in which there is a Girls' State are sent. In Missouri the delegates are elected by the counselors of Girls' State. Girls' Nation is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and the counselors are all voluntary. The week in Washington was spent touring the capital city including the Pentagon, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, and the Capitol. The girls met their Senators and Representatives at a recep- tion held in the Capitol. Some of the other activities included the election of the Girls' Nation President and Vice-President. Sally served as ambassador to Haiti. Sally Ginn

ey Club Serves Hickman Key Club is a service organization sponsored by the Columbia Kiwanas Club. Its manyworth-while pro- jects are heartily approved and appreciated by the Hickman administration. Each member is expected to display the characteristics of initiative, leadership, dependability, scholarship, and service: however,few, if any, fail in any one of these virtues. Key Club is invaluable in student-faculty relations for it serves as a mediator in important school issues by taking students problems to the administration. Every year the Key Club publishes a student- faculty directory. This book is extremely helpful to both students and faculty by making it possible to find a student's telephone number without knowing his parents name. At Christmas time all Hickman home rooms fill a Christmas basket for a needy family, and it is the job of the Key Club to distribute these baskets to deserving families. Few benefit from this service but the gratitude for the project makes all the work very worth-while. During the year the Key Club also sponsors a new student's tea and a back-to-school dance, Hickman would definitely not be the productive school it is if it were not for the great service rendered by the Key Club, I ltON'I' ROW: Easley, Steinberg, Sutton, Hartley, Dickenson, Beasley, NIL-Arthur, Simon.
