Tyler Page and Trace Wilkerson, juniors at Muldrow High School, recently attended Boys State at Northeastern Oklahoma A and M in Miami.

The students participated in city, county and state elections; athletics; heard from guest speakers and attended programs which they learned about the police academy, law schools, firefighters training and about the homeland defense school.

Guest speakers included Gov. Brad Henry, Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin, former Gov. George Nigh, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Norman Lamb, Highway Patrol Chief Gary Adams, Oklahoma City Police Chaplain Jack Poe, and Southwest Missouri State Boys Basketball Coach Barry Henson, Page said.

"We thank the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8384 in Muldrow and the American Legion Post 27 for this opportunity," Page and Wilkerson said.
