Friendliness OF Conferees
Impresses London Girl Slater"

Two London sponsored Cir
Staters" have just returned from
week of indoctrination in govern
mental ethics and m h an C
through the operation of the myth
ical government on the campus OF
Capital University, Columbus.
Sharon Farquhar of London
High School, representing the Aux
iliary of Madison Post American
Legion and Nancy Gammell, of
Madison South High School, rep
resenting the London Business and
Professional Women's Club, re-
ceived thrill after thrill" at being
a part of this group of 725 girls,
the largest in the history of Girls
State" all with common purpose;
to become better and better inform
ed citizens.
Helping the girls along their
way was Mrs. Floyd Williams of
London, who for number of years
has been associate to Mrs. Lester
Merritt, Dean of Government for
Girls State.
Both London girls shared the
common emotion of being a "trifle
scared" at their first impact with
so many strangers, but both ex-
pressed themselves as being just as
quickly warmed by the informal,
friendly atmosphere that pervaded
the campus. 1t was hail fellow
well met" almost instantly, they
said.
Though neither of the girls was
elected to any of the positions of
first Importance, they were ap-
pointed to, and filled with efficien-
cy some of the lesser positions that
made it possible for the work of
the principals in the mythical gov
ernment to click so successfully
Both girls expressed themselves as
grateful to their sponsors for the
opportunity of learning about the
mechanics of running for office
and stated they hoped to try put
ting to practical use in every day
living, what was learned.
For the full week there was much
of Importance going along with a
great deal of fun in performing
their duties for the Girl Staters
There were speakers of note who
talked on such subjects as 'Impor.
tance in Principals of Voting
'Ohio Constitution and You;'
"P arli a m e n ary Procedure
Highway Safety and YOU
County Government" State Fl.
nances;" Educated Woman anC
Her Roles" "Ohio Courts" "Sta.
tus of Women in Government"
There were preliminaries about
election; primaries; regular elec.
ton; Talent Night" when those
of particular talent showed off
to entertain others. There was the
Inauguration banquet; with con.
cert by Girls State Glee Club ano
