If LITERXRY MY TRIP TO GIRLS' STATE The Machias American Legion Aux- iliary sent me to Farmington in 1950 as a delegate to the Dirigo Girls' State School of Government. We arrived at Farmington State Teachers' College on Friday, Iune Six- teenth. Each girl was assigned to one of two parties: The Whigs, who were the Conservative party, and the Tories, or Radicals. Every girl had a badge which identified her as a citizen of the county of Honesty or Courage, and the town of Iustice, Freedom, Democracy, or Loyalty. Friday evening there was an informal get-acquainted hour. followed by the formulation of parties, caucuses and con- ventions. On Saturday morning we heard a lec- ture on town government. This was fol- lowed in the afternoon by model town meetings, formation of town warrants and election of ofHcers. Saturday evening we attended a lec- ture on county government. On Sunday morning everyone attended church. In the afternoon we heard lectures on Maine state finances, the duties of state officials and the significance of primary elections. Great stress was laid on the failure of so many citizens to vote in the primaries. which are of equal or greater importance than the final elections. On Sunday evening there was a com- munity sing fwe had music and recreation every day, followed by a timely lecture on the dangers of Communism. The primary elections were held on Monday after the campaign speeches of the candidates for Girl Governor. The candidates spoke on points men- tioned in their party platforms, such as abolishment of the Governor's Council, an increase in the amount of money allotted to the Education, Health, Highway and State Parks Departments, and the changing of the time of all state and national elections to November. On Tuesday morning the state and county elections followed political pep meetings and rallies. A highlight of the week was our trip to Augusta to attend the inauguration of our Girl Governor, Ruth Swanson. Here we saw Blair House, the Hall of Flags. Fort Western and the Treasury Depart- ment, where we touched a pice of paper worth two million dollars. The House and Senate convened on Wednesday. The Governor and her council met to pass, veto, or suggest changes in bills presented and voted upon in the Legislature. In the evening we attended a banquet and enjoyed stunt night. On Thursday we were homeward bound. I hope that I will prove worthy of the honor given me and that I will do my part to justify the faith of America in her youth. ALMA MERRILL '51 DECEMBER 7, 1941-ATTACK It was a warm, still morning in Fort Shafter where I lived. My brother and I, still in bed clothes, followed my father to the car. We were bound for the bakery. As we were riding through Honolulu, big, black, ugly smoke clouds and fiery flames were piling high above a large sug- ar cane field. Knowing not what it was,
