Dianna Stahl puts the finishing touches on the dress she will exhibit at the Greene County 4--H Fair. Club meetings, picnics, and endless hours of striving to complete each project were many of the things the Girls's 4-H Clubs engaged in. Many grand champions and firsts were won at the Greene County 4--H Club Show at Linton. Shelia Kirk, Linda Halt, Melanie Davis, and Nancy Ruminer entered their projects at the State Fair. The clubs also participated in county and district judging and demonstration contests. Three groups make up Centralis Girl's 4--H club. They are the Lucky Stars of Smith Township, pre- sided over by Linda Dayhoff, the Lassies of Grant and Fairplay, president, Carol Shilkettg and the Cher- okee Maidens of Cass Township, president, Dianna Wesner.

Central's chapter of F.F.A. began the 1964--65 year with the recruiting of new members. On initia- tion day greenhands were spotted in traditional farm' ing garb, overalls, bandanas and straw hats. That night they were formally initiated and they became true Future Farmers of America. Late in September the club went to the Farm Progress Show near Lafayette where they saw the most modern farm machinery in operation. In the Spring the boys took a trip to St. Louis where they toured the Purina Research Farm, Fed- eral Reserve Bank, the St. Louis Zoo and watched the St. Louis Cardinal baseball game. The annual Parent and Son Banquet featured the presentation of special awards. These awards include a Chapter Star Farmer Award which went to Ron Hasler, a Decalb Agriculture Award presented to Don Calvert, and a Greenhand Star Farmer Award which was won by Joe Duncan. Jane Shepherd was elected F.F.A. Sweetheart by a penny-vote election involving the student body. For this she was awarded a white jacket.

Summer found them at school for meetings and work days on their projects. Hours of hard work paid off in July. Proud winners of grand champion ribbons at the 4-H Fair made plans to exhibit their projects and skills at the State Fair. Two of Central's 4-Hers, Steve Schantz and Gary Sullivan entered the Tractor Driving Contest after winning at the County and the District. At the Fall Grain Show at Worthington, Gary York and Lee Ann White claimed grand champion prizes. Clubs from Cass, Fairplay, Grant and Smith townships contributed to the State 4-H Youth Cen- ter, a camp for 4-H members at Lafayette.
