f Wiaicyes WHAT 'J AN D WHY BOYS' STATE DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES Being chosen to attend Boys' State is an honor which many junior boys look forward to. Since it was organized in 1937, over 35,000 young men have par- ticipated in the program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, and fi- nanced by Lions Club, The American Legion, and the Kiwanis Club. Through a week in June, delegates Danny Coleman, Greg Rose, and John Acker studied the fundamentals of the governmental system. They and the three alternates, Bob Caffoe, Ted Dankovich, and Jeff Vawrinek were chosen through leadership, scholastic achievement, citi- zenship and interest in government. NATIONAL MERIT SEMI- FINALISTS Dana Covey - Greg Rose Chosen by the National Merit Scholar- ship Committee on the basis of the PSAT test taken during 'the junior year, the semi-finalists were selected on a compari- son of all scores of people who took the test that year. The highest scores in each state were considered semi-finalists. After GIRLS' STATE DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES Financed by the American Legion, Kiwanis club and the Psi Iota Xi Soro- rity, Chris Dorr, Debbie Cassidy, and Diane Turchan were chosen through in- terviews to attend the American Legion Auxiliary sponsored Girls' State held last summer at Indiana State University at Terre Haute. The delegates, and alter- nates, Amy Danielson, Diane Selvy, and Beth Macer were chosen because of scho- lastic achievement, citizenship, as well as many other points that were taken into consideration. The three delegates re- ceived one week of governmental in- struction while in attendance at the camp. All in all, one of the most important things learned is the experience of meet- ing and getting along with other people. 26 N NYJ, '- . 'els 9 . fi? X' 3 , 5 l, V g , ,..

For finalists, many scholarships were available through the school or place of parent's employment. I feel being named a semi-finalist was only based on one test, said Dana, but as an award it is quite an honor. Through my three years of high school, I have always enjoyed excelling in classes. One of my most rewarding experiences has been working on this Rosennial. Through my three years on the staff, I have seen it change into what it is today. I feel that being named a semi-finalist is a surprise. reflected Greg, and quite an honor. Through my time here at Chrys- ler High, I have really enjoyed education. I feel my most rewarding experience has been to be able to be a member of NFL. The influence presented to me by Mr. Robbins has been quite valuable, and I deeply appreciate it. One of my most rewarding philosophical experiences was being in the respected fellowship of the Royal Order of the Rocky Mountain Social Club. Recently, Greg was one of 15 chosen as a Lily Scholar at Wabash. The award was based on class rank, test scores, and personal interviews. a at lv-rc

The music of State Fair '75 was com- prised of a downfield on Chant and .Iubilo with a middle composed of Girl Talk and My Favorite Things closing the show. They started a bit earlier this summer, and four solid weeks of marching drills and musical rehearsals prepared the Marching Trojans for two back to back performances at Delaware, where they received a second, and the Winchester Old Timers Festival where they won the competition. Taking ,a week of rest, the bands- men loaded up for a week of cramming and woodshedding at bandcamp at Marian College.

Approximately 1,000 students at- tended the conference, with speakers from all over the world. Held the first week- end in April, 1975, tours were given for the delegates, of universities, centers, and museums.
