THE HOMER PLANE AND SQUARE 4-H CLUB For the second consecutive year Homer High School had for one of its selective activities, 4-H Handicraft. At the beginning of 1938, ten boys enrolled in this organization to make up one of the many 4-H clubs in the state. At the organization meeting the following officers were elected: President: Warren Vincent Vice-President: Maurice Benham Secretary and Treasurer: Robert Dawson It was decided to name the club the Homer Plane and Square Club, which has a two-fold meaning. The plane and square are very essential tools in wood-working and the members of the club could be called both plain and square. The year was spent in work on the wood projects, ' hey were completed by March 22, when they were exhibited at the local Achievement Day held at the Community House. On March 31, the same articles were exhibited at the school house in Marshall at the Calhoun County Achievement Day. At this time the winners of the higher awards were selected. Munro Tasker and Maurice Benham both won places on the county honor roll. Munro Tasker,for his contributions to a 4-H project, was awarded a trip to 4-H Club Week, held in East Lansing the first week of July. At this time approximately eight hundred 4-H club members of the state come together to spend a week in fun and learning. The Flane and Square Club of Homer has made many accomplishments under the leadership of Mr. Kruger of the faculty. 29
