7^= "--- From the Vocations What is 4-H Club Work? THB NATIONAL^-J-JCLUB EMBLEM is the four-leaf clover with the “H” on each leaf. The four “H’s” represent the fourfold devel opment of Head. Heart, Hands, and Health. THE NATIONAL 4-H CLUB PLEDGE I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my Club, my Community, and my Country. Note: In repeating the pledge, raise the right hand to side of head when speaking line No. 1; lower right hand over left breast when speaking line No.2; extend hands, palms upward, when speaking line No.3; and stand at attention when speaking line No. 4. (This pledge was officially adopted by the state club leaders and members in conference assembled at Washington, D. C., June 17, 1927.) THE NATIONAL 4-H CLUB COLORS are green and white. The white back ground of the 4-H flag symliolizes purity and the green 4-H emblem is nature’s most common color in the great out-of-doors, and emblematic of springtime, life and youth. THE NATIONAL CLUB MOTTO is “To Make the Best Better.’’ This should be the aim of every club member and his guide in all that he does every day. THE 4-H CLUB CREED I believe in Boys’ and Girls’ 4-H Club work for the opportunity it gives me to become a useful citizen. I believe in the training of my HEAD for the power it will give me to think , plan , and reason . I believe in the training of my heart for the nobility it will give me to be kind , sympathetic , and true . I believe in the training of my hands for the ability it will give me to be HELPFUL, SKILLFUL, and USEFUL. I believe in the training of my health for the strength it will give me to enjoy life , RESIST disease , and make for efficiency . I believe in the United States of America, in the State of Oregon and in my responsibility for their development. I am therefore willing to devote my efforts for the fulfillment of these things which I believe. You must look for something more than natural ad vantages to explain the growth and prosperity of some communities—you must look for the men.—H. L. Doherty. iContinued From Page 6) H ome M anagement : The eight Junior girls of the Home Management class have a garden plot near the Practice Cottage where they have planted a vegetable garden. They also helped transplant flower plants at the greenhouse. F reshman S ewing : These girls have been working on undergarments and pajamas, and one girl is making a nightgown. Mary Lucy Andrews is the most advanced in completing her problems for the semester. Helen George and Annie Yellow stone are making dresses for the reason that they have both had sewing before. The 9-1B class has studied the care of clothing along with their sewing of undergarments. Julia Landigreen has shown much effort in her work, and Nettie Burd is making a laundry bag as part of her work. O ccupations : The Senior occupations girls have started a different type of study, and are actually getting practice of timing themselves on preparing and serving meals. They make an approximate time for making a breakfast, and then follow out the duties according to their timing. A study has been made on the duties of a house maid, and what the maid can do to im prove her work. Senior Features ( Continued from Page 3 ) Glenn Seyler, known as “Gus” to his friends, was born in Colville, Washington, in 1922. He went to school there until his sophomore year before he entered Chemawa. Liking the shoe re pairing trade, he has worked in the shoe shop since entering school. He is a member of the C.Y.O. and has no other wish than to be a good “Seyler.” For entertainment he enjoys listening to the radio, and reading Western stories, with no special au thor. His favorite sport is ping pong, but he is out for track, and is well on his way toward earning a letter. To Glenn, the ambitions senior, we wish a very happy future. ---- ▼---- Official Visitors Mr. Frank B. Lenzie, Regional Forester from Spokane, Washington; Mr. Claude C.
