Student Elected Governor of Buckeye Boys State Program

On June 11, Larry Fulton '15 had the extreme honor of being sworn in as governor of the Buckeye Boys State program, a prestigious summer leadership and citizenship program sponsored by the American Legion.

The American Legion Buckeye Boys State is an eight-day, hands-on experience in the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties, and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio government.

As a part of the dynamic program, students form political parties, campaign for office and hold elections. Out of 1200 Boys State delegates in attendance, Larry won the honor of Governor.

"We have to work together," Fulton said in his acceptance speech. "Please join me in accepting the challenge of engaging one another as statesmen."
