Faculty Chose State and nytown Delegates l Steve Weber, Steve Gunzel, Joe Kalt and Errol Berk were chosen representa- tives for Boys' State on the basis of their leadership, character and grades. As representatives for Palo Verde at Girls' State, Margarita Martinez, Nina Faust, Jan Chlopowicz and Mindi Ligner were taught the details of politics. Representatives to Girls' State learned the various principles of city, county, and state governments. Two counties with eight cities were established. The girls elected their own municipal, county and state officials. Girls' State, stressing human re- lations, was held on the UA campus from June 10-16. The girls, who were chosen from high schools all over the state, occupied Arizona and Sonora dorms during their stay. Judge Alice Truman, Councilman Conrad Joyner, Governor of Boys' State Nyle Creason and Secretary of State Wesley Bolin spoke to the girls. Practical experience in government was the purpose of Boys' State. The convention was held June 9-15 on the NAU campus. City, county and state governments were set up by the boys themselves with little guidance or help. They were responsible for establishing nine cities, two counties and a state govern- ment complete with officials. Among the guest speakers at Boys' State was Governor Jack Williams. Joe Kalt, mayor of his city, was chosen to attend Boys' Nation in Washington D.C. in July. One hundred boys from all over the nation were selected to attend the convention. As an experiment in human relations, Anytown strived to acquaint as many people as possible with different back- grounds of the world. Anytown was held at Prescott Sky Y Camp from June 9-15, and June 15-21. Approximately 240 students attended the two separate workshops. Eight were from Palo Verde.
