Boys Staters, citizens of a model state, present a solid front Elections top model states Amid cheers and enthusiasm, the governors of Boys and Girls State were elected Wednesday. Cindy Avery, 16, Norton, was elected governor of Sunflower Girls' State on the Federalist ticket. Richard Felten, 17, Junction City, is the governor of Boys State. Richard also was a Federalist candidate. The elections top off a week of activity in the government-inaction program, which is sponsored by the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The young Kansans, more than 1,650 of them, arrived Sunday to register and be assigned to model cities in University residence halls. More than 1,220 boys, selected by their home town Legion posts, participated in the 35th annual Boys State. Sunflower Girls' State, celebrating its 33rd year, attracted 442 high school senior girls. The groups divided into two parties—the Nationalists and the Federalists—and put up candidates for election in primaries Tuesday and general elections Wednesday, City, county and state government officials were represented in the appointment and election of officers and representatives. Enthusiastic applause follows candidate's speech The format for Boys State and Girls' State followed essentially the same format of model elections and government sessions, but met separately for the week of activity. The girls, however, will be the guests of the boys for the annual Governor's Ball this evening. The program is designed to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the American system of government. Elected officials of both Girls' and Boys State meet with their counterparts in Kansas government, and visit actual meetings. Tuesday the group paid a visit to the Lawrence City Commission meeting. The campaign was lively and enthusiastic. Campaign posters were displayed and slogans chanted for the candidates for public office. A total of 55 Federalists and 64 Nationalists filed for eight state posts, ranging from governor to state printer in Boys State. In the Girls' State primaries, 65 Nationalists and 74 Federalists filed for state posts. Mayors were elected for the model cities set up in residence halls. Lawrence Mayor Donald Metzler lunched with girls chosen mayors of their cities. Winners in the primaries then faced each other in Wednesday's general elections. Kansas Attorney General Kent Frizzell, who is deep in a gubernatorial campaign of his own, spoke of the "Youth Role in a Democratic Society" to Girls Staters in Woodruff Auditorium Wednesday morning. Gov. Docking appeared before both groups in separate sessions Thursday. State Sen. Glee S. Smith (R-Larned) also met with the Staters Thursd to discuss the organization and procedures of legislatures. Alumni reunions for former Boys and Girls' Staters will be held this weekend to round out a full week of activity.
