THE ARGUS LOG CITIZENSHIP CAMPAIGN The fall of 1928 witnessed the opening of the Citizenship Campaign. The form of the campaign was based upon the plan for national election. The pupils of North Junior were divided into four sections or parties, each section selecting a name by which to be represented. Lincoln, Roosevelt, Byrd, and Lindbergh were the names of the four parties. A campaign man- ager was elected by each faction. Party platforms were arranged that stated the requirements of proper citizenship, and the bulletin boards also gave vivid ideas of a lit citizen. Pep assemblies encouraged the students to their goal. '33 '82 '33 HEALTH CAMPAIGN The spring ushered in a memorable campaign. The contest appeared in radio station form. Daily, during lunch hours, stations AYH, HHH, GHGH, and AYTH broadcasted their total number of points in the Magic Quest for Health, the object of the campaign. In roll call rooms each stu- dent received a chart on which he checked day by day the number of points that he disobeyed the rules of health. Bulletin boards exhibited vivid illustrations of each stationis points of health. The members of each class greatly helped their station in securing points by making clever health scrap books. The close of the campaign was full of competition, AYH win- ning. The campaign culminated in the Great Ring-a-Ling Circus on May Day. NORMAN ASTOR 'H-3 '33 '23 48
