Getaways Michael Lindsey — This summer I attended North Carolina Boys’ State for one week. During this week. I learned a lot about how our government is run. I realized that all my life I have been wrong because I thought politics was easy, and it isn't. Everyone should have a chance to go to this event because there is a whole lot to be learned and a lot of people to meet. Martin Dark — At Boys’ State I attended classes deal- ing with the world of politics. A day at Bovs’ State was very enjoyable at times. I attended many classes, lectures, and meetings. 1 learned that politics is a very interesting thing to get into. I met new people from all over the state including Gov. James B. Hunt. I would encourage any rising senior to attend Bovs’ State. You can get a lot out of it. I surely did!

We have already began practicing for next summer's shows. We prac- tice every other Sunday in Atlanta from 2-7 p.m. Next summer we'll be on tour again. Sonny Crutchfield — My experiences at Boys’ State are something 1 will never forget. While at Boys’ State I took part in town, county, district, and state events. I held the positions of Clark County Sheriff. State Sen- ate member. Sergeant at Arms, and Assistant Pro- gram Director. I also took part in the talent show, discussions, the newspaper, and various other activi- ties. 1 thoroughly enjoyed Bovs’ State and would like to thank my parents, Northwood. and most of all. the American Legion for giving me the chance to go.
