Medline heartnands- head — 4-H Many clubs and organizations at Clover Hill are not open to seventh and eighth graders but '78 changed this. One organization was open to no one else but the school’s junior high students. Sponsored by the Virginia Tech extension service and the science department, the 4-H became part of Clover Hill's extra-curricular activity schedule. Each seventh and eighth grade stu- dent is affiliated. After they filled out an enrollment form, they became members of the 4-H. It was that sim- ple. Students then received the 4-H’s monthly newsletter telling of the ac- tivities each school had planned for the coming month. Assemblies on beekeeping, wildlife, and lampmaking were presented by the 4-H sponsors and arrangers who also provided speakers and audio- visual equipment. Each student was also eligible to take classes which dealt with agriculture, the sciences, the professions, personal and com- munity development, business, and the creative arts. Both the school and the individual students received 4-H booklets to assist them in their studies. Though geared mostly for the far- mer, the 4-H provided something for all young people, farmer or not—in- volvement and achievement. Steady, girl As part of her 4-H project on horse grooming and care, 8th grader Marilyn Neubert curries her horse, Starlight. Marilyn has had “Star” for three years, and on the horse’s third anniversary at the Neuberts, Marilyn fixed it a cake made of feed grains and corn. Jr. High Assemblies Programs 11
