S31 35C=-53 CA-2) MASSACHUSETTS BDYS’ STATE During the week of June 22-30, Herbert Cunha, Robert Giordano, Paul Anderson, and Paul Schaefer attended the American Legion- sponsored Roys’ State convention, at the University of Massachusetts, in Amherst. These boys represented Somerville High and Somerville’s two Legion posts. The convention was held for the purpose of teaching high school junior boys the laws of SHS REPRESENTATIVES Standing, left to right: Herbert Cunha, Paul Anderson.

Each of the 450 boys was assigned to a certain town or city, and to a certain party —either Nationalist or Federalist. Daily town meetings were held, during which officers were elected, and the duties of these offices were executed. Party conventions were held quite often, at which the state officers were nominated. After a heated campaign on both sides, the entire population elected the state officers, using ballot boxes loaned by the town of Amherst. The climax of the election was the inauguration of the Constitutional Officers by Lieutenant Governor Sumner G. Whittier. Law and citizenship classes were held daily, and exams were given both groups. Those passing the exams receive certificates, and the highest boys in the law class sat in at a session of the Superior Court at North- ampton. The boys really got a taste of college life, as they used the university’s dorms, dining commons and many other halls and class- rooms. In adddition, they had the complete use of the university’s athletic equipment. Each afternoon, the boys swam in the pool, played softball, baseball, tennis, or basket- ball. Climaxing the athletic program was a baseball game between the Boys’ State All-Stars and the Gardner Legion team. Church and Temple services were held. Parents joined their sons on Sunday for din- ner. Each evening the Boys’ State band played at the assembly and special speakers such as the Girls’ State Governor, advisers of Boys’ State, and many state officials were often in attendance. On the final evening, highlights of the assembly were an excel- lent talent show and threehours of movies. Coming from all over the state, the Boys’ Staters represented many nationalities and creeds. They worked together, side by side, in their political and athletic jobs, without the slightest bit of jealousy or antagonism. So it was that 450 boys concluded their ac- tivities on the campus of the University with only one general complaint:--------they hadn’t seen any girls for eight days! i k, NOV 8'57 Three
