ROBERT FLESLAND, ALMA JOSEPHSON, LEONE LANGFORD, WILLARD HOLMBERG. The 4-H Club HE 4-H Organization on this campus is composed of students who are members of 4-H clubs in theirhome communities. And what a group this is! Imagine, gathering people from counties all over the state of Minnesota, and from different states of the Union. The motto of all 4-H clubs is 'lMake the Best Better, and all members take this for a goal in their Work. During the summer various projects, such as Leadership, Clothing, Livestock, Garden and Crops, are carried out. There are Livestock Judging and Dairy Judging teams, too, which participate in county, district and state events. The programs of the club are planned with the idea in mind that every member is anxious to exchange ideas with the others and to gather new information to take back home. Mr. T. A. Erickson, state club Leader, gave interesting and inspiring talks at different times during the year. Mr. Kittleson, Miss Schenck, Miss Wessel, Mr. Dankers and others also attended the meetings and made many practical and helpful suggestions for club work. During the past summer a number of the club members were employed as county club agents. Several members of the club have received positions the past summers as paid county leaders. The object of these leaders was to increase the enthusiasm of the boys and girls in the county for 4-H club work, to encourage them and to become members of this organization and to teach them better and newer methods of project Work. -LEONE LANGFORD.

The Girl Reserves HE Girl Reserves have been a very active organization throughout the fall and Winter terms. The theme for the fall quarter meetings was handicraft. The girls learned how to tool leather, and they made pocket books, album covers and wrist Watch bands. A number of interesting parties and hikes were enjoyed by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. At the beginning of each term the two organizations staged a mixer. They also planned the Thanksgiving party, and the Wiener Roast that turned out to be a Hamburger Fry. At Christmas time when the girls of the dormitory gave a party for the orphans of the Jean Martin Brown Home, the Girl Reserves provided a gift for each child. The winter term was devoted to a series of Charm Chats beginning with Appearance, Art, and Attractivenessf' and continuing with Living, Learning and Leisuref' t'Fun, Fancy, and Friendship, Culture, Charm and Courtesy,', Beauty, Brains and Boysf' and ending with Presence, Poise and Personality. These meetings have all been very enjoyable as well as educational. During the winter term the girls had a taffy pull, a tobogganing, a skating, and a Valentine party. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is, To find and give the best. The slogan is, To face life squarely. Each Girl Reserve tries to live up to the code to the best of her ability. ' -WILMA SOEHREN.

The Honor Scholarship Society HE above picture shows students, who are now attending the School of Agricul- ture, congratulating each other upon being members of the Honor Scholarship Society. This Society was organized only a few years ago. The purpose of this organization is to promote better scholarship. Scholarship alone, however, does not constitute a satisfactory goal in education. Outside activities also play an important part in de- veloping qualities that make for better leadership and citizenship. Membership in the Honor Scholarship Society is based ninety per cent on scholarship and ten per cent on activities. Members of this society are divided into two groups, the active group and the associate group. The members in the active group are made up of the fifteen per cent who have the highest standings in the senior and intermediate classes at the end of each school year. These are called the permanent members. The associate group is made up of the five per cent of the freshmen and the ten per cent of the juniors who have the highest standings each quarter. 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. Therefore, members of this organization are not only good students, but they also help uphold the high traditions of the school for both scholarship and conduct. --JULIA I-IovEN. PHX? liiglvly-llvri'c
