CATHY BARKER

Syracuse names Girls' Stater

The Syracuse American Legion Auxiliary Wawasee Unit 223 has selected Cathy Barker as a delegate, and Kristin Hickey as the alternate to the 1988 Hoosier Girls’ State 47th Session. These girls are juniors at Wawasee High School. Hoosier Girls’ State is a program in government designed to educate our young women in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of citizenship. It is promoted as a school of government and practical politics although it is non-partisan and non-political. Each girl must file for an office where she learns “government in action” as she practices the duties of the office to which she has been elected or appointed. It is an actual experience in the problems of selfgovernment as it operates in Indiana. Miss Barker is the daughter of Raymond and Virginia Barker.
