The 4-H Club EAD, Heart, Hands, and Health, these are the four characters represented in the 4-H Club, a nationwide organization of rural boys and girls. It is a division of the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Division and is sup- ported under the Smith-Lever Act. The work is carried on through locally organized units. The aim of the 4-H Club is to teach farm boys and girls better ways of farming and home making. There are various projects in livestock and grain enterprises for the boys and projects in gardening and home economics for the girls. In working out these projects both boys and girls acquire higher standards for farm work and a happy interest in the home life on the farm. They also learn to work in harmony with other people, which makes for better citizenship. A The School 4-H Club endeavors to bring to the students interested in this Work suggestions that will help them in carrying on the work of the 4-H Clubs in their home communities. A program for the meetings of each term is outlined by a committee. The topics for discussion this year are organization, programs, follow-up work, finish-up, and special club events. Three or four members appear on the program at each meeting to discuss briefly their experiences on the topics. A member of the state staff is always present to speak and present new ideas. -ESTHER PETERS. 'A 'TH-T ' ' i '-' '- i?11 TTY' 'A ' TT? 'TTT' ll,f,f 1J QA. Page N inety-Iwo

In an impressive service at the beginning of the fall quarter the new Girl 'X Reserves of the School of Agriculture were recognized into the world-wide l organization together with the new St. Paul Girl Reserves. Delegates were sent to the X Minneapolis Hi-Y Conference, and two inter-club members attended the meetings of V the St. Paul inter-club council. 'y Early in the fall and winter quarters the former members entertained the new girls 'f H of the School at a Get Acquainted Tea. The sailor party at the St. Paul Y brought T X tunity to become acquainted with the farm campus Girl Reserves. 1 . i Miss Sarah Beach, the adviser, was hostess to the girls at a chow mein supper one together two hundred and fifty girls in sailing togs. This gave the city girls an oppor- ?l 1 bf' evening. She supplied the chop sticks which she obtained while teaching in a boys' school in china. The club entertained the orphan children of the Jean Martin Brown Home and presented gifts to them at the customary Christmas party. Short publicity stunts given at the school assemblies were enjoyed by all. At a i meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. the members interested in dramatics presented a play. ly Candy, doughnut and apple sales were successful during the year and helped to defray the expense of sending delegates to Camp Okoboji, Iowa. 2 -MYRTLE SUNNESS. 0 i Nf Page N inely-one ' r 1 x il gl l

19 N 31 rr, f T an rrrrnrruer ni WILLIAM BROWN, Secretary and Treasurerg WALTER SWENSON, President, WALFRED MATTSON, Vice President The Honor Scholarship Society OME years ago there was a definite need felt by students, alumni and faculty mem- bers of the School of Agriculture for some method of recognizing proficient scholarship. The Caleb Dorr Scholarships were awarded at that time, as now, but they are necessarily very limited. Forming a group with a definite purpose that would promote incentive for superior scholarship and maintain the student interest was the proposal adopted. Eligibility rating comprises 90W on scholarship and 10123 on activities. Scholarship alone does not constitute a satisfactory goal in our great struggle for an education. However, basic importance must be attributed to this phase of learning, as this is a sound basis for judging ability and application. Outside activities do play an important role in shaping these qualities that make for individual endeavor, social con- tact and leadership. E Membership in the society is divided into active and associate groups. Active mem- bership comprises the 152, of highest standing in the Senior and Intermediate classes at the end of each school year. All in this group are permanent members. The highest SW, Freshmen and 10'Zy Juniors each quarter are the associate members. The purpose of the Honor Scholarship Society is to foster a higher standard of scholarship and all around attainment on the part of the students of the School of Agriculture. Hence the members of this association shall not only be good students, but .6 Z A K w R Z W Z A Z A A 4 2.
