i!i i I isninfiin vniin piiff n i nt • i nrt v Boy’s 4-H Club Girl’s 4-H Club Chester Boy’s 4'H Club Chester Girls’ 4-H Club The Chester Boys’ 4-H Club is showing improve- ment and is progressing towards a future of fine ideals and great attainments. We have no doubt but that the pledge used in all 4-H Clubs is the basic cause of all this improve- ment and progress, for in giving this pledge each mem- ber obligates himself to use his Head for clearer thinking, his Heart for better living in his home, his community, and his country. In May, 1936, the following 4-H Clubs organized with an approximate membership of thirty; the Potato Club, the Corn Club, the Colt Club, the Leadership Club, and the Lamb Club. Above all, the Colt Club produced the most outstanding achievements. The club program during the summer and fall included regular meetings; several livestock judging and inspection tours conducted by the county agent, the club leader, and the vocational agriculture instructor; a four day Club Camp at Lake Webster; a trip to Purdue on Swine Day; and the Colt Shows and other public exhibits held at the close of the Club season to classify each member's project and to award prizes. The Girls’ 4-H Club was organized in Chester Township in April, 1936 with fifty-four girls enrolling in Food Pre- paration, Clothing, Baking, Canning, Room Improvement, Gardening, and Leadership. These projects were taken by the girls. Thirty-two girls exhibited at the county exhibit at Wabash October 6, 7, 8th. They won sixteen blue, ten red, and four white ribbons. Eleven exhibits were sent to the State Fair. Phyllis Hoover, Donna Rager, Helen Bollinger, and Ruth Protzman sent exhibits in canning. Phyllis won two red ribbons; Donna, one white; Ruth won three blue and one red ribbon. She won highest honor in Ball Bros, state canning con- test on one quart of yellow wax beans and one quart of red raspberries. Geor- gia Ulmer and Lois Spacy sent two ex- hibits in Room Improvement. Georgia won a blue ribbon and Lois won a red ribbon.

Alumni Association To The Student Body of Chester High School: The Alumni Association of Chester High School wish to extend to the student body and faculty of Chester High School not only our good wishes but also our sincere congratulations for the con- stant progress of the institution in the educational as well as in the spiritual and social field. It is indeed gratifying to all the Alumni to note the consistent growth it has made. We delight and take great pleasure in your accomplishments. Permit us to offer the following as a suggested rule and guide to the entire student body, but more especially to the class which will graduate this year. We believe that the problem of making a living, in its broadest sense, is becoming increasingly difficult with the passing of the years. It is also our belief that in order for a voung man or woman graduating from high school to take his or her place as a useful citizen in this complex world, high standards of educational efficiency are becoming more important daily. May we therefore suggest to you as you graduate from this institution that you make every possible effort to prepare yourselves and specialize by further education in the particular field which you have chosen to seek your livelihood. If this is not possible by your attendance at an in- stitution of higher learning, then may we suggest that you make every effort to secure such learn ing at home in some form of extension education We know that as you graduate from Chester High School you have thoroughly in mind all the basic fundamentals necessary for higher learning and, indeed in a great many instances, all that is necessary for the job of living. Lastly, permit 11s to sug- gest that you alwavs remember and revere your Alma Mater with a deep sense of loyalty and re- spect for the institution in which you have no doubt learned some of the greatest lessons of life.
