Last Thursday the Mount
Joy American Legion held
a banquet for their baseball
team and some other young
people who attended con-
ferences across the state.
Trophies were awarded
the baseball players. Most
Valuable Player trophy
went to Randy Velez, as
did the batting award.
Melvin Hay was named the
Most Improved Player, and
Pete Splain was declared to
be the Best Defensive
Player.
The other young people
honored that night were
those who had attended
model governments or
taken police training for the
previous week. Bill Dom-
mel and Mitch Drace had
gone, courtesy of the Le-
gion, to Hershey Police
Academy, chalking up 49
hours of training (which
will be valid if they
actually become State Cops
in the future).
“You know that driveway
there, the one that’s about
a mile long?’’ asked Mitch
Drace. ‘Well, we had to
run all the way up that
way every morning at
6:30.” Besides calisthenics,
the two fellows also studied
police work while sitting at
desks. About 120 young
men from all over the state
shared their experience.
Stacy Miller of Mount
Joy and Debbie Choi of
Lancaster both spent their
week at ‘‘Keystone Girls’
State,”’ an exercise in mock
government held at Ship-
pensburg State College.
Debbie was elected the
most outstanding citizen of
the 250 girls who attended.

Randy Velez, Dean Zimmerman, and business manager Jim Buehler. In the back are Brian
Long, George Root, Pete Splain, Teet Gohn, and Tom Weber.
‘First we had to set up a
local government, then a
county (including a court
system), and finally a state
government,’’ said Stacy
Miller. The two girls
agreed that it was a big job
to accomplish in only one
week. Stacy also recounted
receiving a delegate from
the Keystone Boys’ State
—who had a shaved head.
She doesn’t know why he
had shaved it.
The Keystone Boys’
State was where Eric Stein-
hart confronted the political
system as the clerk of the
House of Representatives.
“You couldn’t get anything
done...they’d just argue
and argue and argue, about
the smallest details,”’ Eric
noted. The Boys’ State also
experienced the formation
of a new party, the
‘““Independents,’”” who re-
fused to be part of either of
the two official parties (the
‘*Nationalists’’ and the
‘‘Federalists’’). Despite the

political turmoil, the Boys’
State managed to hammer’
out two bills, which were
sent to the real governor
(Shapp) as suggestions for
actual laws.
‘“I learned a lot about
how our government works,
and about how any govern-
ment works,’ noted Eric.
