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.

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.
