Then he proceeded to name the firsts accomplished during the week. Among them was the fact that the 1964 Boys' State was held at the Citadel, Military College at Charleston. Immediately upon arrival Sunday afternoon each boy was assigned to a city and a political party. The two main goals seemed to be keeping our city clean and electing the delegates from our city to the various positions of the state government. The first three days we received instruction in the forms of city, county, and state governments, officials, and their functions. Later in the week we campaigned, held rallies, and elected bovs to fill each position in these three governments. During the week, we heard stirring speeches from Senator Strom Thurmond, Charleston Mayor .1. Palmer Gaillard, Gen. Mark Clark, Lt. Gov. Robert E. MrNair, and Warren Giese of the University of South Carolina. A surprise appeal ance by Miss l Joseph F.

Stalwart, a mine sweeper, and the U S.S. Howard W. Gilmore, a submarine tender. After lunch in the Naval cafeteria, we returned to Charleston, where our graduation exercises were held. Saturday night we attended the Governor of Boys' State's banquet, after which we enjoyed a beauty contest in Mark Clark Hal! and selected Miss Palmetto Boys' State from the twelve City Sweet ncctito wii i laauav. We had many opportunities during the week to take part in special activities. We had a very good band; and on Sunday morning d u i i n g the church service, our choir presented special music.
