lli Gangs of Juniors-to-he. We're back now from the most won- derful weeks at Girls' and Boys' States! What a blast of an experience. Prepara- tion for the departure was hectic as you can well imagine. considering that ire had to cram hard to know how to run our Senates, our Houses. and our Court Sessions. As you know the primary purpose of these States is to demonstrate the func- tioning of our political and judicial sys- tems. We fell right into the routine with the help of the men of the Legion and the women of the Legion Auxiliary. We boys were proud of our debates on legali- zation of gambling, the right to work law, and reapportionment. Don't get scaredg it wasn't all work. Costumes at Girls' State were duseys: barber outfits and creations fashioned from light bulbs, pennies, and pistols. Through- out the week, we boys had recreation hours, playing volleyball and blood-'n-guts soccer. There was also a little game of Wipeout, not too well enjoyed by some. Final elections came on Thursday. We especially want you to know how the Cas- Wyoming Representatives ln llnys' Nation sisit with Sm-nator Nnnp son-Diemer True and Jim Rhodes fSlwridanl. per Kids fared. Here are n few notes on the results: BOYS' STATE Wy0llllIlg Governor-Dick Phillips State Auditor-Diemer True GIRLS' STATE U. S. RepresentativwSherry Martinson State Treasurer-Helen Pouttu State Supt.-Dyann Vanljeventer Chief Justice-Ruth Van Dyke Diemer was chosen by his fellow Staters to go to Boys' Nation in Wash- ington. Dick Phillips was chosen to be an alternate to Boys' Nation. By the girls Sherry ltlartinson was selected alternate to Girls' Nation. On Friday we visited Cheyenne and the State Capitol to sit in the seats of the great: to debate on the floors of the House and Senate: to hold court sessions in the judicial chambers. Following work, the girls drank tea with the Governor's lady and the boys visited Missile installa- tions at Warren A. F. Base. Good luck to Casper's 1961- Repre- sentntives, 7 Zim
