DELEGATES to BOYS' STATE for 1952 The purposes of the American Legion in creating and directing Boys' State are to pro- vide a means of giving practical instruction in the mechanics of government to boys of high school age, and to help inculcatc a deep sense of obligation, in each boy present, t0 his community, to his state, and to his nation. Since it has become a tradition in Ardmore for outstanding boys to be so honored, many students each spring hope to be selected as delegates. The Ardmore delegation at the 1952 session of Oklahoma Boys' State made their pre- sence known by their coyote yells and lusty cries of Mark Trail which served as an intercom system between buildings. The AHS boys stood in the limelight also as legislators and politicians as was characterized by Chapman's spirited race for governor. The boys added much to their knowledge of state and national government, formed many state-wide acquaintances, and enjoyed the general program which was profitable as well as entertaining.
