Girls' State R. Rodia, K. Anderson, B. Walton, A. Shockey, M. Dzick, C. Craig. Douglass College in New Brunswick, New Jer- sey, was the scene of a week-long workshop in democracy. The Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion sponsored the program which aimed to teach girls of high school age the fundamentals of democracy. Vigorous campaigns and elections were held for every position from sheriff to governor. The highlight of the entire program was the ap- pearance of Governor Meyner at the inauguration of the Girls' State governor. The Boys' State program, sponsored by the American Legion, has as one of its many obiectives the teaching of governmental theories and prac- tices. New Jersey Boys' State, in its thirteenth year, brought together 750 of the best high school juniors in the state. On the Rutgers University campus the boys spent a full week learning about our govern- ment, and did their own campaigning and voting. There was also a well organized sports program for the citizens of Boys' State. The week was climaxed with the election of a governor and the receiving of diplomas. Any member of the 1958 Jersey Boys' State will tell you that it was an unforgettable ex- perience. Boys' State First row: C. Holmes, G. Andrews, S. Bukstel. Second row: W. Blue, W. Rodham, L.
