CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF YOUTH LEGISLATURE AND 20 YEARS OF MOCK TRIAL IN WASHINGTON STATE

60/20 PROGRAM

Letters from Leadership
Greetings from the Governor,

I am pleased to extend warm greetings to all those celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Washington YMCA Youth
Legislature Program and the 20th Anniversary of the Mock Trial Program. Congratulations on these significant milestones!
These outstanding educational opportunities allow young people to learn through doing, experiencing the democratic
and judicial processes firsthand. I applaud all of the Washington YMCA Youth and Government staff, volunteers, and
participants who have made the youth Legislature and Mock Trial programs what they are today. The future rests in the
hands of our youth, and prorams like these help ensure that tomorrow’s leaders will be equipped with the knowledge and
skill base needed for a fair and equitable society.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication, and please accept my best wishes for a memorable celebration and con-
tinued success in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Christine`Gregoire
Governor

Dear Director Nesbit:

It is my pleasure to be involved in the annual YMCA Youth Legislature. This is a wonderful opportunity for Washington
State young people to learn how their government operates. Perhaps one day many of the delegates may have a desire
to run for a state office.

The students, volunteers and alumni are to be commended for their dedication and commitment to this worthwhile
program. Congratulations to all those who have worked hard to make the 60th Anniversary of Youth Government in
Washington State a success!

Sincerely,
Brad Owen
Lieutenant Governor

Dear YMCA Youth and Government Students, Volunteers, and Alumni,

I offer you my sincerest congratulations on the celebration of your 60th anniversary. I hope that you are proud of this
outstanding achievement.
For many, the YMCA Youth and Government program has served as a solid beginning for life-long careers devoted to
public service. The YMCA Youth and Government program instills in our youth a passion for democracy and the civic
process that stays with them into adulthood.
I look forward to another 60+ years of Youth and Government in Washington State.
Sincerely,
Sam Reed
Secretary of State

60/20 PROGRAM

Alumni Stories of Youth Government
I must say that my experience was cut dramatically short however, by the earthquake of 1965, which caused cancellation of the 1965
YMCA Youth Legislature. I was slated to be Lt. Governor, but never got to wield the gavel in the Senate! I was fortunate though to be the
Governor of the Cowlitz County local version of the Youth Legislature. My most vivid memory was feeling compelled to veto an issue
proposed by one of my good friends. There was the usual “eleventh hour” lobbying by each side stating their case, pounding on my
door, and I think I even held up the final session trying to decide whether or not to sign or veto the issue. Friendships of course don’t
mean automatic approval, but may influence outcomes. It was a good lesson.
One of the issues I recall being debated and passing easily was the white line being painted along the curbside of two-lane roads. I think
that idea started in the Youth Legislature and eventually became law. Another issue debated back in 1965 was the replacement of the
state sales tax with an income tax, and I see that re-cycled from time to time, still not popular enough to pass into law.
Thanks again for including me, and have a wonderful celebration and reunion!!
John N. Kirkpatrick, 1965 Delegate
Before I entered the YMCA Youth and Government Program my freshman year of high school, I was a timid academic who thought
speaking in public was a death sentence. Though the studious part of me remained intact, I evolved into a self-aware, self-confident
person who had no qualms with interacting and communicating with people nor audiences. This is the legacy of Youth and Government:
transforming individuals into socially conscious and civically interactive individuals for the rest of their lives.

Joseph Jenkins, Youth Governor-58th Session
Spirited debate, patient collaboration, exchange of ideas, a dance in the Rotunda, dialogue with elected representatives and senators,
staying with families on Cooper Point, that cute girl from ….. now, where was it that she was from? All of these and more are the memo-
ries I have of my high school years (1958-1961) in Youth and Government. The interpersonal and academic skills necessary to research
an idea, write it as a bill, convince others of its merit, and get the governor to sign it into law have become lessons for a lifetime. As an
adult teacher/advisor of a delegation, I continued to learn while students came to grips with the nuances of the program. Later, as a
board member, I saw the addition of Mock Trial to the legislative program. That was a difficult job, and yet the skills I learned from the
program earlier helped me and others add to Youth and Government. Then seeing a daughter in the program became the icing on a
wonderful cake. So, what does Youth and Government mean to me? I cannot answer that. I can say that it is at the core of me, and as
such it has become part of that which supports most of what I do! I do not know what I would have become or done without my Youth
and Government experiences, but I am sure I would not have felt quite so fulfilled.
Jim Tomlin, Alumni, 1958-61
As I contemplate my 30th high school reunion, I realize more and more the important role of Youth and Government in shaping my high
school experience. In the program I not only received valuable confidence in speaking publicly about issues I cared about, I was chal-
lenged to think and write more deeply about the issues of our day. Youth and Government is one of the few places I know of which
allows of a non-ideological focus and interchange of ideas –and encourages thoughtful, respectful and focused expression and interac-
tion of those ideas. In our increasingly factionalized society and world, it is much needed! It was always exciting to meet with other
youth of the state with the support of government officials offering of the capitol--to feel that we mattered as the future of our state.
Committed adults gave me an appreciation and model for the power of mentoring for youth, a commitment I have carried into my profes-
sional role as a pastor these past 18 years. It was my pleasure to participate in the 50th anniversary celebration—and I had hoped to be
there for the 60th. I am pleased to continue to support and celebrate the continuation of this important and valuable program for youth
in Washington—even from the other side of the country. I am deeply grateful for the support of the YMCA in making it available.
Rev. Chris Johnson Foster, Youth Governor 1979

In high school I attended the “judicial component” of the Youth Government program. I remember quite vividly meeting Justice Ut-
ter and how kind and interested he was in us. I also remember how scary he was when we went to argue our sides. 29 years later in
2007 I sat next to the Justice during Sunday’s big breakfast but this time as an attorney rater for the championship round.

Karen Koehler, 1978 Delegate
This memory could be considered a memorable event for our entire family. It occurred during the 1981 Youth Legislature. Our oldest
daughter, Pam Curtis, was the Youth Governor for that year and our youngest daughter, Julie Curtis, was the Sergeant-at-Arms for
the Senate together with another Vancouver youth, Ross Warner. The Governor received a note from Congressmen Rasmussen and
Carlos Pizarro that her sister, Julie, had been kidnapped and was being held until the Governor approved their Senate bill which was
up for approval at that time. It was a tense time, but Julie was returned safe and unharmed after being held at the local Dairy Queen
indulging in ice cream for over an hour.
Marelyn and Jim Curtis, Parents of 1981 Delegates
I attended the Hi-Y Model Legislature of 1948 as a state representative from Whatcom County. I made many friends and it was a lot
of fun! I have treasured that experience all my life! It gave me an opportunity to see how government functions and the seriousness of
debate. I have continued to have a keen interest in governance and politics. I believe young people are fortunate to participate in these
activities because whatever career path they may follow, they will be informed citizens—the bedrock of our country!

Robert A McFarlane, 1948 Delegate

My introduction to Youth Legislature came from my daughter who joined the program while a student at North Thurston High School.
When my son got to North Thurston, he also participated. During this time, the program needed advisers, and I volunteered, serving for
several years with students of the Thurston County Delegation. I marveled at how the students became immersed in the program, learn-
ing to write their bills, roles of legislators, lobbyists, the press, and statewide elected officials. And all students enjoyed the opportunity
to work with students from other schools and cities. Youth Government provides unique opportunities for students across the state
to meet and work with each other. What a great concept! Because of Youth in Government, and the YMCA, we have contributed, and
continue to contribute, to producing quality citizens who are leaders in the state of Washington. Now, as a member of the Washington
State House of Representatives, I am working with the state program to help ensure a successful 60th anniversary year and to expand op-
portunities for student participation in Youth Government programs.
It is an honor to work with youth who are bright and eager to learn, and Youth and Government brings out the best in our young people!

State Representative Sam Hunt
I remember attending YMCA Youth Government in Olympia in the Spring of 1966. The weather was warm and the cherry blossoms
were in full bloom. The capitol was beautiful. I was captured by the place. I was a lobbyist so had freedom of movement as I worked my
issues. I took breaks to walk over to the Temple of Justice where I was fascinated by the Supreme Court and the Law Library. It is pos-
sible that the earliest thoughts of my becoming an attorney stemmed from those moments. Later, when I became an Assistant Attorney
General, my office was in the Temple of Justice and I did legal research in that library, and remembered back to the days in high school
when I visited the Temple as part of Youth Government. I made some great friends at Youth Legislature and still keep in contact with
several of them. My office today is in the Secretary of State’s Office in the Capitol building and I regularly work with the legislature and
the courts and I enjoy seeing the Youth Legislature come each year, and it reminds me fondly of those early years.

Nick Handy, 1966 Delegate
Being involved with YMCA Youth Government was a rare and memorable experience. Serving as a representative my first year in
1951, I was exposed to the legislative process. The following year, I had the unbelievable experience of serving as governor. To this day,
I still hold that event in high esteem. While acting as governor, I was fortunate to be a house guest of Governor and Mrs. Langley at the
governor’s mansion where not only I stayed but also took my meals. What a wonderful opportunity to engage in dinner conversation with
the governor and his wife. Thank you YMCA Youth Government.
Forrest M. Amsden, Memory from 1951 and 1952
As a first-time participant as an attorney rater in the YMCA Mock Trial Competition, I had no idea what to expect. Frankly, my expecta-
tions were quite low given my rather misdirected life style in high school in the 50s. I was astounded at the quality of the presentations of
the participants, most especially the poise and confidence shown by the participants dealing with what must have been a very stressful
situation. The presentations made showed a huge effort in preparation and much more depth of understanding of the legal process than
I ever would have imagined from high school students. I came away from the judging process thinking that many of the students I had
watched them performed as well or better than myself and many other lawyers with lots of year of actual trial experience. Keep up the
good work in whatever careers you may choose!
Charles E. Watts, 2007 Attorney Rater
During the 2006 Competition in Olympia, one of the issues was related to “instant messaging” on computers between teenagers and whether
their messages could later be admissible in evidence. During one of the arguments, the volunteer Judge and one of the contestant attorneys
were engaged in a vigorous argument over some of the details of the instant message. There was a reference to an older, beat up car and the
Judge was trying to extract a concession from the attorney about the reference to the car. In frustration, the Judge said: “What word would you
use to refer to a broken-down 1965 Chevy?” The high-schooler, posing as an attorney, was stymied. Then, in an instant of inspiration, said:
“How about ‘a piece’?” The judge looked puzzled, as well as almost everybody in the courtroom. Nobody seemed to know what the high-
schooler was referring to except me. I was in the Jury Box as a rater, biting my lip to keep from laughing out loud. In that instant, it was obvious
to me that the time gulf between the class of 1964 and the class of 2006 wasn’t as huge as it seemed.
When I was in high school everybody knew what a “piece” was. It was a reference to a car that had no redeeming value. It was a short-
ened form of full name of such a car: “a piece of s#@t.” A name that was well known to all of us that couldn’t afford Mustangs and GTO’s,
but rode around in aging, four-door, two-tone, stick-six, “pieces.”
I’m still laughing about the student that blurted out this response under pressure and then looked around the Courtroom, hoping that
nobody understood what he had just said. Our eyes didn’t meet, so he probably thought that the dangerous response had slipped by
unnoticed; but he didn’t know that one grey-haired baby-boomer thought the response was hilarious.

Thomas A. Brown, 2006 Attorney Rater
Going to state was one of the best experiences of my life. It truly confirmed my desire to become a lawyer, and it showed me it is pos-
sible, and that if I work hard it will pay off. I’m not afraid of going to college next year thanks to Mock Trial. I am extremely excited to
study law and I have great motivation. I got to be exactly who I wanted to be, and accomplished exactly what I wanted to accomplish
and I couldn’t be more happy.
Jessica Replogle, 2007 Mock Trial Participant
Mock Trial has provided me with the courage to improvise on my feet and to look an adult in the eye and explain my point of view logically
and firmly. It has also given me a strong interest in and respect for the American legal system, as well as an acute sense of self-confi-
dence which I believe carries into other areas of my life.

Claire Mauksch, 2006 Mock Trial Participant

To all who passed through the experience, to those who came back to their Y’s to help and to those who are
experiencing it today. It is a wonderful program. It is one of those building blocks in “life” and my congratu-

Our State Directors

Sharon Foster
Sharon Foster
1972-1983
During my tenure as director the special memories I have for this terrific program include the election of the first three women as Gov-
ernor, Jeanne Cushman in 1974, Chris Johnson in 1979 and Pam Curtis in 1981 and the first African American Governor, John Best in
1980; Governor Spellman signing House Bill 747, tax relief for YMCA’s; our annual sessions meeting simultaneously with special ses-
sions of the Washington State Legislature; the Sonics winning the NBA championship, and Seattle Slew winning the Kentucky Derby
during our session. But most of all I will always remember the advisors and kids, the heart of the program and always in my heart

1984-1990 Martha Jolly
It was my pleasure as Executive Director of YMCA Youth Government from January, 1984 to July, 1990. I followed in the able foot-
steps of Sharon (Petty) Foster and had a great base upon which to continue growing this outstanding program.
During the years of 1984-1990 Youth Government leadership:
• initiated the first statewide volunteer advisor training (held at YMCA Camp Dudley in Eastern Washington)
• transitioned from an appellate Judicial Program to the current YMCA Mock Trial Competition.
• secured a $175,000 Washington State Centennial grant for a statewide Mock Constitutional Convention in 1989
(partnering with The Junior Stateman Foundation)
• introduced a Freshman House of Representatives to accommodate a growing enrollment of younger students
• initiated the YMCA Youth Government Endowment fund
• initiated the Governor’s Breakfast and Proclamation Signing, which began as a fund-raising breakfast for lobbyists in the
Governor’s Office

1990-1999 Nora Hallett
The 90’s were my years as Executive Director and I loved every minute. The Mock Trial program grew substantially and a lot of work
went into developing the Board of Directors and a strong fund-raising capacity with an alumni base for the entire organization. Our
50th Anniversary celebration was held in the Rotunda and House Chambers. The respect and love for the programs that legislative
and judicial employees had was palable. The nurturing of state employees in the Sergeant-at-Arms office, the Code Revisers’, the
Secretary of State’s office, the Governor’s office, the GAO, the Administrative Office of the Courts, Thurston County Courthouse


60/20 PROGRAM

1990-1999 Nora Hallett continued
and many others made sure that participants had a successful experience. A tremendous amount of volunteer work goes into keeping
YMCA Youth Government programs alive, and these people do it because they believe in the motto that “Democracy must be learned
by each generation”.
There are a couple of stories that represent for me some of the learning that took place in the Youth Legislature. I remember one year, a
young man named Trevor Rowe had gotten 300 fluorescent condoms donated to help him lobby a bill to allow condoms in high schools. I
made the decision not to allow him to pass them out to students in the House and Senate chambers since we were guests in the Capitol
and it would violate their rules and jeopardize our program’s ability to use the building in the future (although I did find a few blown up like
balloons in the elevator). He challenged me on free speech grounds and that year there was a lively debate about free speech issues.
Another year, as students were mingling out in the Rotunda one delegation evidently criticized the position of another delegation. The advi-
sor came to me and insisted that I punish the group who was being vocal and critical. I refused to do that but encouraged them to exercise
their own free speech to defend their position. The next day there was a “counter demonstration” in the Rotunda with placards supporting
their position. The advisor told me that nothing had energized their group more than having courage to speak out and they went on to lobby
their bills through committee to be passed in both houses.
The public does not often see the results of incidents like these, but those of us who have been privileged to work with YMCA Youth
Government teen leadership programs know the life-changing insights participants can receive. Minds are sharpened, insights into human
character are gained, and the understanding of an individuals’ power to act in a democratic society turns on like a light bulb. I am proud and
humbled to have been part of this important process for nine years and wish the organization congratulations on its 60th anniversary!

1999-2003 Linda Medcalf
My years were marked mainly with dreams of a “normal” session—we started off with a great one, following in Nora’s very capable
footsteps. Then there was the earthquake—and the scramble to find venue. The Evergreen State College generously allowed us the
use of their campus—which made for some very interesting logistical challenges. For example, somehow we neglected to mention to
Evergreen Security that the Governor’s entourage would be arriving and they were stopped; we’re still not sure how many students found
the nude beach; conversations between Evergreen students and Youth Legislature delegates provided new and interesting debates for
our participants, etc. The next year we were allowed to use the damaged state capitol, the last group to use it before closure for repairs.
Finding and photographing all the cracks, dips and missing plaster became a major preoccupation. Then came the adapted capitol—the
white tent, the basement offices, the very cramped chambers, the off campus events (thanks to Olympia High School for joint sessions
and the United Churches for campaign speeches). Somehow through all the shifting venues and logistics, the kids rose to the challenge
and conducted great sessions! I loved my years as executive director with YMCA Youth Government—and the years I attended as
a participant and now as an advisor.

2003-current Janelle Nesbit
It is an honor to serve as the current Executive Director of the YMCA Youth and Government program. I began serving in February of
2004. My first memory of the program was attending the Governor’s Breakfast and meeting the officers of the 57th session. I followed
in the footsteps of Linda Medcalf and three other dedicated and passionate Directors that gave me a solid foundation upon which to
continue growing this outstanding program.

Highlights of the last few years:
• the move back into the Capitol following the repairs from the 2001 earthquake,
• an increase in the number of Washington State Mock Trial teams able to compete in a national competition,
• the first delegation of students to represent Washington State at the Conference on National Affairs in Black Mountain, North
Carolina (2005),
• a partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop avenues for YG programs to meet state
civic education requirements,
• outstanding dedication and involvement by the Board of Directors, including student representatives from both programs
• a consistent and dedicated staff,
• introduction of the “Governor’s Cabinet” as a means to recognize Major Donors, student leaders and elected officials (2005),
• a 50% increase in the YG reserve and endowment funds,
• a partnership with the U.S. State Department’s World Affairs Council allowing students the opportunity to meet with leaders
from other countries to discuss the importance of Democracy around the world,
• addition of the 8th Grade Senate making a total of five legislative chambers that meet during the Youth Legislature, and
• the reintroduction of the “Governors Ball” back to the Rotunda.


History of Mock Trial
In 1987, Washington Youth Government doubled the number of students it could reach by taking on the high school
Mock Trial Program, previously run by the Washington State Bar Association, Young Lawyers Division. Since its inception,
the Mock Trial Program has seen over 11,500 students participate. In 2007, 45 schools participated at district competi-
tions and 20 teams competed in the State Finals. Seattle Prep took top honors as the 2007 Champion of the statewide
YMCA Youth Government Mock Trial Program Competition. For the first time in the program’s history four teams from our
state will be attending national competitions. The first place team will attend the National High School Mock Trial Champi-
onships in Dallas, TX and the three runners up will all attend the American Mock Trial Invitational in New Brunswick, NJ .

Beginning in September, students begin studying the case and understanding the lives of the characters they must eventu-
ally become. They learn courtroom procedures, rehearse opening and closing arguments, and practice the art of thinking
on their feet. Each team must field both a plantiff and defense team, meaning that often times students must play dual
roles. During the month of February teams around the state match up for district competitions. When the results are in, it
is decided which 20 teams will make it to the state championship in the spring.

History of the State Capitol
After Olympia became the capital of the Washington Territory in 1854, the city’s founder, Edmund Sylves-
ter, gave the legislature 12 acres of land upon which to build the capitol, located on a hill overlooking what
is now known as Capitol Lake. A two-story wood-frame building was constructed on the site, where the
legislature met starting in 1856. When Pres. Benjamin Harrison approved Washington’s state constitution
in 1889, he donated 132,000 acres of federal lands to the state, with the stipulation that income from the
lands was to be used solely for construction of the state capitol.
The legislature formed the State Capitol Commission in 1893 to oversee the creation of a new capitol
building on the property in Olympia. The commission held a nationwide competition to find an archi-
tect, and chose Ernest Flagg. Construction began on Flagg’s plan, but was stalled by poor economic
conditions with only the foundation completed. When the legislature finally passed an appropriation of
additional funds in 1897, newly-elected Gov. John Rogers vetoed it. Rogers advocated the purchase of
an existing building for use as the state capitol: the Thurston Co. Courthouse downtown. The legislature
approved the new location, and began meeting there in 1905.
The courthouse became the location of all agencies of the state government, and within a few years the
legislature decided the building was too small. A new State Capitol Commission met in 1911 to build a
group of buildings, rather than a single facility, to serve as the capitol. The commission held another com-
petition for an architect, and selected the design submitted by the firm of Walter Wilder and Harry White.
Construction began in 1912, and the Temple of Justice was completed in 1920, followed by the Insurance
Building and the power and heating plant. After multiple revisions to the plans, the Legislative Building
was completed in 1928. This building is the dominant feature of the capitol grounds, with its dome reach-
ing a height of 287 feet, making it one of the tallest self-supporting masonry domes in the world.

The Lantern and Cupola
After being in storage for more than thirty years, the lantern of the cupola was restored to its original loca-
tion with the Rehabilitation of the Legislative Building in 2004. Now the Lantern shines brightly atop the
287 foot dome with energy from the sun. The Legislative Building solar Project was installed 2004 as part
of the Legislative Building Rehabilitation. The solar power project consists of two separate 10 kilowatt
solar arrays placed on the 5th floor roof of the Legislative building. Even in a cloudy climate, the 144 solar
modules produce up to 20,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. This is enough electricity to illuminate
the lantern and exterior colonnade.
The word cupola comes from the Latin meaning “little cupo” or little dome originally referring to small
domes atop cathedrals which allowed light to enter the sanctuary.
