Hartwiger Selected As Hoosier Girls State Delegate Abbey Hartwiger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hartwiger, has been chosen by American Legion Auxiliary Unit 49, Warsaw, to attend the 73rd annual session of Hoosier Girls State. HGS is on the campus of Trine University, Angola, through Saturday. Hartwiger, a junior at Lakeland Christian High School, will join approximately 550 other young women for this government program designed to educate the leaders of tomorrow in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of citizenship. This session of government and practical politics is non-partisan and non-political. Citizens begin their week-long adventure by registering to vote where they receive an assignment to a mythical political party, which at registration time has no political organization or party beliefs and platform - all established by the delegates within three days into the session. Delegates also must file for an elected office on the city, county or state level. Shen then conducts her political campaign complete with speeches and campaign materials. Once elected to office, delegates are sworn in and perform the duties as described for that position. Non-elected delegates are given appointments as well as encouraged to visit the offices of those elected to communicate their needs as citizens.
