What 4-H Means To Me
By Helen Yvonne Aiken 1
1
While sitting home relaxing,
thinking about the 4-H Club is
just starting for me, really.
I will never forget my first
demonstration when I was In
the sth grade, which was corn
meal muffins. I was not such a
good cook so they didn’t turn
out to be as good as they should
have. I won at the county, but
didn’t make the district. I en
joyed it very much. I tried to
make yeast rolls, corn bread
and biscuit. They didn’t turn
out to be the best, but they were
good.
Then In the 6th grade I also
had cornmeal muffins and I also
cooked cornbread, yeast and bis
cuits and I won at the county
and district.
Later on in the 7th grade, I
had food preservation. I froze
raany things such as applesauce,
^f>ples, and peaches. I won first
place in the county and first
place in the district.
Boy, I knew I was only start
ing then. In the Bth grade I
also had food preservation and
canned fruits, vegetables, and
nuts. I also won county and

district. Seems like the 4-H
was just the thing a person needs.
By the time I graduated from
elementary school, I was con
vinced I would be a real home
maker someday through “try
ing to make the best better.”
In the 9th grade, still trying to
make the best better, I also
had Family Life. I won at the
county and then I went to district,
which was at Rock Eagle. We
stayed three days and two nights
4-H Is Fun
By Calva English
You should become a 4-H mem
ber because 4-H is lots of fun.
4-H is something for you to do
in the sciences, home economics,
or recreation that helps you learn
a better way of doing things.
It means that you will: 1. at
tend club meetings; 2. make an
exhibit; 3. give a demonstration;
4. write a story of work done;
and 5. keep a record.
You will be responsible for
selecting your own project. Be
sure to select one that your pa-
and I gave my demonstration
there. I didn’t win at district
but I said I wasn’t going to give
up.
Now I am in the 11th grade
and I still have Family Life and
am talking on choosing a career.
My 4-H projects have helped
me in so many ways, but I’ll
just name one - 4-H has given
me confidence in my fellow man.
4-H has helped the children
in school to “make the best
better.”
rents will help you pay for. What
is a 4-H club? A 4-H club Is
an organized group of five or
more boys and girls. Clubs may
be organized in school or out
of school.
Many members of the Ameri
can 4-H clubs also work on farms
in other countries. In addition
they show hospitality to young
people from abroad who come
to work on farms in the United
States. This International youth
exchange has helped bring about
a better understanding of the
farm life of young people all
over the world.
How do you join 4-H? First
talk It over with your parents.
Joining 4-H is a pretty big step
in your life and you’ll probably
need a lot of help. Be sure you
have a talk with your parents.
It will be very important that
you keep a day by day record
of your project in order to know
where you stand.

4-H HAS
’ MANY
By Vera M. English
Before I became a member
of 4-H, I made my dolls’ cloth
es. I can remember when 1
। would wrap rags around her and
pin them on. When my mother
made pies I would always go into
1 the kitchen to help her and she
( would tell me to go get the eggs
and butter.
4-H And I
By Kathy Glass
This story begins when a ten
year old entered the fifth grade
and became a 4-H Club member.
I was President of our 4-H Club,
। but at first I just didn’t want to
do anything in my classroom.
> Sometimes I’d be too frightened
. to ask my teacher about our les
. son. I didn’t like to call anyone
on the telephone or have anyone
’ calling me because I would be a
. little scared to talk to them. But
j now, thanks to 4-H, I am not
scared to talk to my friends.
During the year that I was In the
, fifth grade I chose clothing as my
k project and it taught me many
। new things. Because when I first
started I didn’t know howto make
anything. When I made my first
pair of T.V. slippers I was afraid
, that I might not make them right,
t but I did. The second time I
. made them though I did make them
a little too big, so I knew that I
would need to practice some more
and make the best better.
’ It was through the 4-H Club that
I learned to sew. My mother
’ taught me to sew on our sewing
machine, so that I would know how
to use it If I wanted to make
' something. I also made an apron
and a drawstring bag. I was af
raid to do anything In 4-H, but I
have learned a lot from my 4-H
clothing project.
Most of my 4-H project ex
periences have been rewarding
ones. I will never forget my
first demonstration. I was so
scared that I might mess up that
I forgot the last words I was sup
posed to say after my demonstra
tion. I have learned a lot about
being a 4-H club member and
I have received award cards for
the demonstrations that I have gi
ven and for the things that I put
on exhibit at school when I was in
the fifth grade. At first I didn't
want to make anything and put It
on exhibit, but after I had made
it I decided to put it on exhibit.
My first demonstration was on
canning tomatoes and I was scar
ed when I gave this demonstrat
ion, although I practiced at home
many times. I was still afraid
to do It before people. By the
time I gave my demonstration
at District, I wasn’t too afraid
to give my canning demonstrat
ion. I was awarded blue award
cards and a certificate for my
canning project. I have also
received an award for my cloth
ing project. This year my de
monstration will be on canning
snap beans and I’m working very
hard to make sure I do a good
job this year.
Now that I am In the seventh
grade I am not as afraid as I
was and can do more things in
my 4-H work. I am very glad
that I am a 4-H Club member
and now I like doing things In my
4-H Club projects.
TAUGHT
THINGS
When I was ten years old I
could make cornbread without
mother’s help. Now to me mak
ing cornbread is very simple.
Every morning I make up the
beds. When I first started mak
ing the beds I did a very poor job,
but Mother encouraged me and
gradually I learned to do It bet
ter. Then when I got older, I
became a 4-H Club member. At
first I wasn’t very Interested, but
later on In the years that came I
began to get more and more in
terested.
The first thing I made was a
pair of TV slippers, an apron,
and a head scarf. One day at
our school we were supposed to I
model our aprons. Well, I won an ।
award. Later on after I had en
tered into my junior year, I
made a pair of curtains. Then I
made some biscuits. We judged
the biscuits at our school and all
of the girls who had made bis
cuits were helping to judge. I
won and once again It was time
to have another contest In the
county eliminations. On the day
of the county contest while I was
at school, I crossed my fingers,
hoping the bus would come before
Mrs. Johnson got there. But Mrs.
Johnson and the bus arrived at the
same time. When we arrived at
the REA Building I was so sca
red I could have cried. The
cornbread muffin makers were
first. After they had finished
my stomach felt so funny, why
don’t I faint I thought to my
self. When we began to make
the biscuits I was so scared I
would do something wrong!
I must have done everything
right though because I was na
med the county winner. lam
going to try to represent our
county at the District contest
so that everyone will be proud
of me.

''My First Year
In 4-H Work
By Marsha Waddleton
I think I am going to have fun
even though it is my first year,
Last year in the Uhited States
there were 2,000,000 members.
In Georgia there were 158,000
members.
When you join the 4-H Club
your parents are counted as a
member. You will need help
from your parents. You will
select one or more projects and
complete work as suggested in
the Project Manual. When you
join, you will get a guide book.
There will be many interest
ing things ahead for you and
your family. You must keep a
record of what you do in 4-H,
you must attend the meetings,
tell others what you have done,
and select a project.
