Many clubs in Ottawa, including the Kiwanis, Rotary, American Legion, Co-Op, and Lions, sponsor a similar convention called Boys' State. From June 6 to 13, Dick Powell, Keith Thomp- son, Gayle Twyman, Roscoe Lancaster, Alvin Melcher, and Don Sellers journeyed to Wichita to attend Boys' State. Their week was climaxed by many educational and entertaining happenings. Martha Barnes and Norma Ralph attended Girls' State from June 13 to 20, at Kansas University in Lawrence. Sunflower Girls' State is an organization very similar to that of Boys' State. Good govern- ment and better living are stressed during the week, During 1948, Patsy Brown was chosen out of three senior girls to take the Daughters of the American Revolution scholarship questionnaire.
