GIRLS AND BOYS STATE Cornhusker Boys and Girls State is an effort on the part of the Nebraska American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. It gives the boys and girls that are chosen an opportunity to study the government, to understand it, and to respect it. To be eligible for Boys and Girls State, they must be a U.S. citizen and be a junior in a Nebraska high school. They must be in the upper half of their class, and have quali- ties of leadership and good charac- ter. Boys and Girls State is held June 3-9 at the University of Nebraska city campus. The individuals who are chosen to attend will return with a wider knowledge of the gov- ernment and will be more prepared to live as a Nebraska citizen. These honored few will take home with them an experience that will last a lifetime. MEDIA AIDES The junior and senior high media aides are the students who help Mrs. Blomendahl stamp and check books out to students. They also put re- turned books back on the shelves. They are the helpful people who students turn to when they can't find the information they are looking for, and Mrs. Blomendahl is too busy to help and makes them find it for themselves. The media aides are much appreciated people. Boys and Girls State.

OATS This year the OATS program was extended to the whole student body. Last year, only seniors were able to participate. Participants were chosen for their academic achievement; they scored at least a 94% composite on the standardized achievement test. The senior high worked on indi- vidual projects in an area of their personal interest. Each had a men- tor who helped him with his pro- ject. The junior high attended problem solving meetings twice a month under Mrs. Lang's direc- tion. The OATS participants were rec- ognized at the Honors Convocation and were presented certificates.

PEP CLUB This year the Pep Club consisted of 104 members, with Mr. Car- mody as the sponsor. Two prominent changes took place in Pep Club this year. They wore football jerseys instead of the hot, scratchy sweaters that were worn other years. Another change was Homecoming week. This year, the coronation was held Friday afternoon with the pa- rade following. The royalty rode around in convertibles. The foot- ball game was Friday night and the dance Saturday night. Throughout the year, meetings were held on Fridays during flexi- ble scheduling. During this time the club discussed any problems, learned new cheers, and planned activities for the sporting events.
