Knutsen, selected by his classmates, will participate in the program designed to give training in the practical aspects of government. It is sponsored by the American Legion. Walter Flesner, Milroy high school junior, is another Boy’s Stater from this area. Boys’ State, sponsored by the Minnesota Department of the American Legion, is “to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship.”
