the closing of the spring quarter,
Boys State representatives from
high schools in all parts of the

leadership, loyalty, courage, coop-eration,
character and service, will

happiness. The work is under the
supervision of 25 expert adult
counselors.

hear talks by various state, county
and local government officials.

by the S. D. Legion as an annual

host to the growing and popular
citizenship training plan in 1941,
1942, and 1943, before the war in-terrupted
the program temporarily.

and will mark its sixth anniversary

of Rosebud, department comman-der;

skating party were invited to the
lunch and entertainment provided
