THE CLIFTONIAN 17 4-H CLUB The Wide-a-Wake 4-H Club, the senior club of Clifton Springs, under the leadership of Miss Monteau, has been taking the home project, Elementary Foods, which is a study of the classes of foods and the different methods of preparing them. The Senior Club has alternate Supper Nights and business meetings. Every other Monday we prepare a simple meal in the laboratory, sometimes inviting members of the faculty to join us. Each girl has a certain task to perform in preparing and serving the meal. By taking different work each time, every girl learns each step in the preparation of the menu. There is usually a demonstration given by two or more of the girls. A recreational period follows both supper and business meetings. The business meetings are held in Miss Mon-teau’s office. Here we discuss any business which may come up and plan the next Supper Night. We try to plan a balanced meal each time, taking in our studies of the properties of foods. The Cheerio 4-H Club, the junior club, under the leadership of Miss Jones, is taking the junior project, Home Making I, slightly emphasizing foods. They also have alternate Supper Nights and business meetings, coming on Thursdays. Several members from each club are planning to attend the 4-H Camp, which is held at Point Rochester on Canandaigua Lake, some time in August. It is with this object in view that we have our benefit movies and food sales. Next year, with the equipment in the new school, 4-H work will prepare the girls for the course in Domestic Science. We have been handicapped, this year, by lack of ovens and proper cooking equipment. I think 4-H work is very helpful to the girls who are sufficiently interested to work in it, because it teaches sewing, cooking, interior decorating and many other things which will be useful in later years. MARJORIE WEBB. Disappointment There are words enough for the hero Who dwells on the heights of fame; I write for the disappointed— For those who lost their aim. I write with a tearful cadence For one who stands in the dark, And knows that his last best arrow Has bounded back from the mark. I write for the breathless runner The eager, anxious soul, Who falls with his strength exhausted, Almost in sight of his goal; For the hearts that break in silence, With a sorrow all unknown, For those who need companions, Yet walk their ways alone. There are words enough for the lovers Who share love’s tender pain, I write for the one whose passion Is given all in vain; For those whose spirit-comrades Have missed them on the way, I write, with reluctant pen These tragic lines today. But I know the constellation Must somewhere keep in space Blue ribbons for the runner Who barely lost the race; For the plan would be imperfect Unless it held some sphere That paid for the toil and talent And love that are wasted here. ALICE E. WIEMER ’30. TRAGEDY Three pigs set out On the way to town A hoggin’ the road, my dear. One pig was black Another brown The third was white, ’tis clear. Along came a farmer In his coupe And honked for the pigs to get out of the way. The pigs didn’t get And the Ford was wrecked And so were the pigs, they say. DORIS CASE ’29
