. . When in the course of
human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve
the political bands which
have connected them with another,
and to assume among
the powers of the earth the
separate, and equal station to
which the laws of nature and
nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinion

a free nation, with all that it

the
Birth of
Freedom
the great structure reared by
the founding fathers n o w
spans the continent from
ocean to ocean and has victoriously
established its right to
be, liberty and independence
has ceased to be a mere dream.
American Independence continues
to be history in the
making. Many projects in the
public interest have been initiated
on July 4 which reveal
the ideals of democracy in
action: digging of the Erie
Canal, 1817; building the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the
first railway in the country,
1828; laying the cornerstone of
the Washington Monument,
1850; and the formal recognition
of the Philippines' independence,
1916 ? ali linking
the bonds of individual rights
and freedoms.

of 489 "citizens." 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

by Mark King
South C a r ol i n a, Carolyn
Gaines, was one of the highlights
of Thursday.
Our trip to the State legislature
in Columbia had to be
canceled because of failure of
the train to meet its schedule,
so we spent Friday at the
beach. Later Friday afternoon,
after a parade on the Citadel
campus, we inaugurated our
elected state officials.
Saturday was spent at the
Charleston Naval Base, where
we visited aboard the U.S.S.
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. I especially
enjoyed being a member
of this choir, which was

Director of Bovs' State

Methodist Church. Each
day's devotion was conducted
by pastors of different denominations.
My city, Catawba, won the
cleanest city award every day,
and we looked forward to receiving
our trophy at graduation
on Saturday. Imagine
our chagrin and the delight of
the boys of the other cities
when this elaborately wrapped
trophy turned out to be a
bottle of "Mr. Clean."
All in all, it was a unique
experience, and I am very
grateful for the opportunity
of attending Palmetto Boys'
State. I served as Postmaster
of Catawba City during the
week, and I was a member of
the Federalist Party. My party
lost the election, but our senior
counselor, Stan Juk, received
the award as outstanding
senior counselor.
