Karen Jensen of Abbotsford was among the more than 500 high school girls taking
part in the 26th session of Badger Girls State June 14 – 21, 1969 on the
University of Wisconsin campus at Madison.
The girls, who will be senior in the fall, were selected by school officials on
the basis of leadership, scholarship and Character.
During the week the girls held mock elections, organized city, county and state
governments, conducted campaigns and attended lectures on various phases of
government. They also conducted a legislative session, where they enacted laws.
These were then sent to the governor and other executive officials.
The program is co-sponsored by the Wisconsin American Legion auxiliary and the
University Extension Institute of Government Affairs.
Miss Jensen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Jensen of Abbotsford.
