Missing -ll This year's Girls' State took place at the University of Arizo- na, in Tucson, while Boys' State was held at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff. There, the nine students from Kofa lived a mock government for one week. They participated in three different levels of government, including city, state, and county. Each person lived in a city. These cities had approximately thirty- two students each. The dormi- tory halls were decorated to re- semble an actual city, with lines going down the hall to divide the different lanes of traffic. Tickets were given for moving violations such as speeding and reckless driving. There were eight cities, with four cities assigned to a county. Supai, Cocopah, and Poston were a few of the counties. Both groups said that the programs were extremely well-organized, and that they came back with a much greater knowledge of how governments function.

Kofans practice Brotherhood Delegates: Annette Bombard, Steve Norton, Camille Sinclair, John Becker, Becky Umstead, Steve Hamma and Freda Drysdale. Anytown's theme this year was Turn on to Life. The camp was located on Mingus Mountain. Morning activities included optional nature hikes and hillside sings. During their stay, the Anytowners attended workshops every day. Some of the work- shops were Let's Join the Human Race, Comparative Religion, and Yoga. Culture night, Skit night and an all night party were a few of the nightly activities. One Anytowner's comment was An experience l'll never forget, if everyone could go to Anytown, the world would be a better place to live. NCCJ, which stands for National Conference of Christians and Jews, is a national organization set up to combat racial and religious prejudices. This year, eight Kofans attended the Conference held at Glen- dale Community College. During the morning, stu- dents listened to speakers, in the afternoon, they di- vided into discussion groups. The groups chose the subjects they wanted to discuss and led the discus- sions themselves with people from various commun- ity works. . M...
