HOUSE PAGE — Journee Humphries, an 18-year-old senior at Hennessey High School, paged for House Majority Leader Mike Sanders the week of March 11-14, at the state Capitol. Humphries is the daughter of Jerry and Priya Humphries. She said she wanted to serve as a page “to have the experience and to see our government at work” and plans to attend college to major in elementary education. Her community service projects include volunteering at the library and a local nursing home. Her extra-curricular activities include 4-H and cosmetology, and she served as a football trainer. She’s received a scholarship from the Cimarron Electric Youth Tour, a cheerleading award, a Paula Helwig Challenge award and a Skills USA Statesmanship award. House pages run messages to legislators while they are in the chamber debating policy and voting on measures. Pages also participate in a mock session, in which they learn legislative procedure and how to write legislation. “Journee did a great job during a very busy deadline week at the Capitol,” said Sanders, R-Kingfisher. “She got her wish to see her government at work in close detail.” [Photo provided]
