American Legion recognizes Boys/Girls State participants The Fred H. Sexton American Legion Post 1 held their annual Boys/Girls state banquet on Oct. 25 after being delayed by Hurricane Matthew. The banquet is held to celebrate the accomplishments of the 44 young men and women from local high schools who participated in the program. The boys and girls participate for a weeklong learning experience. The boys go to Anderson University and the girls go to Presbyterian College in Clinton. During the program, they learn about government and how it functions. Assigned to fictitious cities, they then run for political offices and govern their cities. They learn how to legislate, speak in public, team build and negotiation skills. The students unanimously praised the program and how it changed their lives and their perspective of their role in the future. Post 1’s Boys State Program chairman,
Judge Gene Morehead, presented the boys with a certificate acknowledging their participation. They each gave a brief speech about their experience and all want to go back. Some will go back as counselors in future programs. One of the highlights of the evening was when Girls State member Claire Stuckey from Johnsonville High School gave a moving speech on what the program meant to her. Auxiliary President Vickie Gimla congratulated Claire and her family on her outstanding accomplishment. Four ladies participated in the program. Vicki hopes to have more next year. Post Commander Don Handley observed some excellent public speakers and invited them to participate in the Legion’s Oratorical Competition in January. College scholarships are available to participants.
