GIRLS STATE Tracy Davis and Julie Boley From June 14 to June 21, Julie Boley will be attending Buckeye Girl's State at Ashland College. Julie is being sponsored by the Women's Civic Club, from Mendon. The American Legion Auxiliary Post 210 from Celina and the Women's Civic Club interviewed interested Juniors. Together with input from the guidance counselor and faculty they chose Julie as the delegate and Tracy Davis to be her alternate. If Julie would be unable to attend, Tracy would be the delegate. The purpose of Girl's State is to educate young women in the duties, privileges, right and responsibilities of American citizenship; with special emphasis upon the contribution women can make to the welfare of the city, county, state, and nation. John Emans and Dennis Kohorst BOYS STATE From June 14 to June 21 John Emans will be attending Buckeye Boy's State at Bowling Green State University. The Coldwater American Legion will be sponsoring John who will be participating in this annual event. In the unlikely event that John cannot attend Dennis Kohorst has been chosen as his alternate. At Boy's State John will learn about how a state should be run. Elections will be held, with many young people campaigning for their choice of office. Some will not be elected to the office of their choice, but there are many jobs available and they will find a suitable occupation. Boy's State is a place where the delegates will learn about the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilites of American Citizenship. Delegates will have an opportunity to learn the problems of government, with special emphasis upon the contribution men can make to the welfare of the city, county, state, and nation. 27
