Otis D. Green Unit 155 sponsored Sellers, among the 250 young women at Girls State at Catawba Col- lege in Salisbury. “It's really an outstand- ing, unique and exciting government-in-action pro- gram and we’ politicked, wrote campaign speeches, made posters and wrote bills and got them passed," said Johana, who loves pol- tics. At Girls State the mayor presides at all the city ses- sions until the governor is elected and makes intro- ductions of the many state officials who speak. Girls State citizens don't elect or appoint a mayor pro tem. One morning the mayor was late arriving at the meeting and Sellers had to preside as city manager and make all the introductions. “I had about five min- utes to get ready but my friends told me I was up to the challenge," she said. 49¢ forum Letter to the editor.

The storm knocked out the air-conditioning in humid 90 degree weather. Her friends reminded her that she was the city manager, so how long would the power be off? The power was off until 11 p.m. but the girls made the power outage a fun event. A parliamentary proce- dure and civics workshop and flag etiquette were part of the opening day educa- tional event. They enjoyed a reception at the home of College President Brian Lewis and received mate- rials about the college and other colleges in the state during a college fair during the week of activities.
