Hennessey had four Boys State Delegates held at Rogers State University in Claremore. Aidan Hardin, Peyton Moery, Taylor Ladwig, and Blaney Sturgill and Westyn Hopkins. The boys were sponsored by the American Legion Post #5 in Kingfisher.
Oklahoma American Legion Boys State is an intense week of non-partisan leadership, government, and patriotism sponsored by the American Legion of Oklahoma. Delegates to Boys State have just completed their junior year of high school and have been selected by their local American Legion Post to represent the best of their community. Boys State was established in the 1930s as a way to counter anti-American activity during the pre-World War II era. It was so successful as a citizenship training activity that it remains the premier program of its type in the United States. Photos provided.
