Some of the instructors were policemen, lawyers, and businessmen. In Anytown you learned who you are and you learned to respect other people and their feelings. They also became aware of the overall look of life: what is happening and what should happen. Boys State and Girls State were held at NAU. They learned about the justice system and what courts are all about. Both organizations separated into different cities. Both Girls and Boys State were held for one week.
