One has often noticed the emblem of club work, the four-leafed clover. Lucky is the boy belonging to a 4-H Club, receiv- ing training as the pledge denotes, giving my head to clear thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to longer service, and my health to better living-for my club, my community, and my country. The 4-H work constitutes the Pig, Calf and Poultry Clubs, all of which have been organized in our school. The Pig Club is outlined in three demon- strations of approved practices in pig rais- ing and service management. CID Market- ing, C21 Breeding, C39 Sow and Litter XVork. In this work, a boy takes over the feed- ing and care of a pig before it is 84 days old. He keeps a complete record of his labor and expenses up to and including the County Fair. At which time he will exhibit the pig in competition with pigs belonging to club boys in the county. Poultry and Dairy Calf Club work is con- ducted in a similar manner, only the dairy calf club work continues over a period of three years. It isn't all work in the 4-H Clubs, for every year, a county club camp is held. In the past this county camp has been held in Lanier township. This work and play, under State Leaders, baseball, singing, camp fire talks to make up the daily 1 week of organized the supervision of competitive games, and speaking, goes routine. GIRLS' 4-H CLUBS In 1925 Lanier's Food and Clothing Clubs had a very successful year under the leader- ship of Miss Mallow and Miss Lucille Stone- road. The Sew-Sew-Sew Club was the largest clothing club in the county, having an en- rollment of twenty-three. The first or or- ganization meeting was held before the close of school at which the following officers were elected. President, Luella Campbell: Vice President, Mary Aukerman: Secretary, Lela Campbell, Reporter, Ethel Rhoades. The work in the Clothing Club included the first, second and fourth years as outlined for clubs throughout Ohio. The Foods Club which was organized un- der the name of Lanier junior Helpers, had a membership of twelve girls with the fol- lowing officers: President, Hazel Bennett: Secretary, Louise Sayler, Reporter, Martha Coffman. The work in this club consisted of the third and fourth years as outlined. Lanier was justly proud when Mary Auk- erman was chosen county champion in club work and was rewarded with a trip to Co- lumbus. Five girls from the Foods and Clothing Clubs attended the 4-H Club camp which was held during the week of August 14. At camp the girls were instructed by competent leaders besides enjoying the companionship of boys and girls from all over the county who were interested in club work. The clubs expect to continue in 1926 with an enthusiastic group of girls striving to place Lanier at the head in club work. El El i421

This Association has made it possible for us to have music in our school by employ- ing a music instructor. 'llhe fox drive which VVZIS sponsored by the P. 'll. A. did much to develop community spirit. It was a great success as far as the financial income was concerned, but not from fox fur standpoint. The Association has been holding an an- nual Fall Festival which has provided much entertainment for the people and aided the Association in securing the necessary amount of funds. The monthly meetings have always had some sort of an entertaining program along with the business session. The pupils of the school have given plays, drills, etc., at these meetings. An old fashioned spelling school was the special feature at our meeting. Vari- ous times we have had educational lilins from the N. C. R. For our meetings we have been fortunate enough to have such people with us as our county superintendent, Mr. C. R. Coblentz, Judge Landis of Eaton, Ohio: Miss Emma Gerkins, president of the VVomen's Feder- ated Clubs of the State of Ohio: and Miss Ruth Bridge, a welfare worker from the General Hospital of Cincinnati. Much credit should be given to this year's officers for the work which has been ac- complished. President-Mrs. Mary Glander. Vice President-Mrs. Rosie Flory. Secretary-ClVlissD Zelma Swihart. Treasurer-Mr. Warreii Ulrich. lil lil H41
