Monroe Bettman, Governor Scranton, and James O’Neal

Each year representatives are chosen from the
Key Club to represent our school at Boys’ State.
This year we were honored by having one of
our boys selected as Governor. This individual
was also given the opportunity to meet and speak
with Pennsylvania’s Governor Scranton.
This past June 22, 1964, three boys from
Wilson, Gary Market, Douglas Ewing, and James
O’Neal, went to Penn State University to partici­
pate in the Boys’ State program. Boys’ State is
sponsored by The American Legion. The program
is a leadership camp for high school boys in hope
of teaching a lesson in democracy through active
practice of government fundamentals. While
there, Jim O’Neal was elected as Governor of
Boys’ State; the highest office which can be
achieved in the program. Congratulations goes to
these boys for bringing home another Wilson
Convention delegate hard at work
first!
