From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 3, 1974:

• Nearly 1,000 delegates to the 37th annual Kansas Boys’ State program arrived on the Kansas University campus today for the week-long program. The young people were to begin elections and selections of their party’s state officer candidates in the mock-government exercise. Those elected mayors were slated to visit a session of the Lawrence City Commission this week. The young participants were boys from all over the state who had just finished their junior year in high school.
• Also on the KU campus, the first session of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp started this week. The camp, in its 37th year, offered music, art, journalism, and speech and debate programs to junior and senior high school students. Since its founding, the camp had grown from an enrollment of 20 students to participation by hundreds and had earned a national reputation for excellence in secondary education.
