Delegates Tommy Gregory and Doug Kraszka Delegate Angela Riggs
Girls' and Boys' States were organized to develop
interest in the study of government, to foster civic
leadership, and to stimulate a desire to protect the
privileges and responsibilities of our democratic
form of government. The representatives were
nominated by the faculty, and the delegates were
chosen through an interview conducted by the
• sponsoring unit. Delegates traveled to Florida State
University for a chance to get "inside" politics and
discover how and why it works. This was a de-
mocracy in action program which enabled the par-
ticipants to view local, state, and national elections
with a new insight. Not only did they gain a new
understanding of patriotism and national pride, but
they also made new friends and shared experi-
• ences that will stay with them for many years to
come. This was a unique opportunity, and our
congratulations go to tomorrow's leaders.
