Photograph, black and white, of Girls State meeting. As the 266 girl high school juniors from over the state round out their week-long study of what makes the state government tick, these two legislative leaders of the Girls State of Seminole, hold sway over a joined session of their Senate and House. Senate President Esther Lynn Barazzone, wielding gavel at left, of Port Charlette, and House Speaker Mill Knopf, right, of Gainesville, open the session. The group’s study of government is being held at Florida State University.
