Two Lansing Kee High juniors, Ethan Walleser and Nick Boland, have been selected to attend the June 14-19 Boys State at Fort Dodge in Johnston. Ethan is the son of Fred and the late Dora Walleser of Lansing. Nick is the son of Steven and Dolly Boland of New Albin.
Local selection of attendees is being sponsored by the Lansing Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5981 and Lansing American Legion Post 50.
Begun in 1938, Boys State is a six-day course in self government, consistently taught with a hands-on approach. The young men of 2015 Boys State, all of whom will have finished their junior year of high school, will be divided into 32 cities. Four cities constitute a county and eight counties make up Boys State. The cities are composed of members of the Nationalist and Federalist parties. The citizens within these cities hold party caucus meetings, conventions, campaigns and general elections.
