Dillon Montana from August 23rd to September lst. Boys State is a program for boysg a program which is carefully planned by many people While at Boys State, you as a citizen carry out all the functions of government that the citizens of the United States carry out You have an opportunity to nominate, campaign for and elect governmental officials. They show how the Judicial branch of government operates, and also how you may be a part of it. Some of the boys are elected to offices of the Boys State executive branch others are elected to be members of the legislative bodies All of the boys have a part in governing Boys State Each boy who attends gets the true feeling of being a mem- ber of a Democracy its duties and obligations. A Boys Stater has the opportunities to hear speakers of state wide repute--the civic and governmental leaders of Montana. Athletics is another part of the Boys State program. They are de- ed for relaxation and because the amount of time is so short, Slgfl Q , , cooperation is required to make the most of these periods of emoy- I was privileged to attend the 7th annual Boys State gathering in 'l'l i , I had the honor of being schosen to attend the 1953 Girls State session. This was held on the Rocky Mountain College Campus at Billings early last June. Mrs. King was our director and there were approximately twenty other coun- selors helping us carry out our elections and campaigns. About 175 girls were there thus giving us the largest attendance of any previous sessions. We spent a great deal of time in Convention Hall where we had all our coun- ty meetings. There were four counties in all and sixteen cities. There were three precincts in each city. We started off by electing city officials. They had to elect an election board and I was chosen to be on this. If you were on an election board you couldn't run for an office. We had the job of opening and closing polls and counting the votes officially after the elections were over. The candidate from my party was elected governor. Her name was Elaine Stirland and she was from Chinook, Montana. She was a lovely girl with a won- derful personality and a very good speaking voice. We also chose Elaine and Jean Daily from Miles City to go to Girls' Nation in Washington D.C. The afternoon before voting for Governor, we had a campaign picnic. This was the time when everyone really went out to see what crazy stunts they could pull off in order to get the attention to their candidate. We were lucky in having several Billings girls in our group who got permission to go up town and get drums and other very noisy instruments. Really though, I doubt if it was that that enabled Elaine to win. It was really just her. We were allowed to go up town three times. Once the business men of Billings bought each one of us girls and our counselors a ticket to the Shrine Circus,the second time we all got to see the Go Western Parade, and the third time we all went to church. All in all we had a wonderful time. I am really and truly thank- ful to everyone who made it possible for me to go.

This year the junior class decided on Hillbilly Weddin as their class play. This hillbilly had seven daughters and was trying to get them married off. None of the others could get married, however, until the oldest one was hitched. This was abig problem be- cause Ceelie didn'twantto get married and even if she had wanted to no one would have her because she never washed and was terribly dirty. After they got her washed up though, she im- mediately had some pro- posals and the whole sit- uation cleared up. The play was under the direction of Mr. Mitchell.
