Clark selected to attend Boys' State

CLARK

Joshua Edward Clark, grandson of Edward and Joan Howard of Swainsboro and son of Doug and Vicky Clark of Johnston, S.C., has been selected to attend South Carolina Boys' State at University of South Carolina in Columbia. The American Legion's Boys' State program is a unique way for young men to learn about the American system of government by taking part in a mock governmental system.

Only boys with outstanding qualities of leadership, character, scholarship, loyalty and service to their schools and community are considered. While at Boys State, delegates will learn about state, city and local government, and how the political process works in our state. Boys' Staters will also learn how partisan politics operate, and delegates will have an opportunity to compose a party platform, prepare speeches, and run for every elected office in the state, ranging from mayor of one's city, all the way to governor of the state.
