Members Attend OSC Summer School
Lane County’s 35 “cream-of-the
crop" 4-H club members joined
2.(MH) members from throughout
Oregon for one of the largest 4-H
summer school sessions in 41 years
of history on the Oregon State
college campus, beginning June 12
and lasting through June 22.
The “quadrangle" — heart of
the OSC scene
became the hub
of activity for gay, hoop-skirted
girls and blue-jeaned boys who
hurried from 1heir housing in 58
sorority and fraternity houses and
dormitories to classrooms in seven
major college buildings. Joining
the exuberant youngsters were a
hundred extension agents. 4-H
club leaders, and special instruct-
ors who will teach classes as di-
versified as cooking and beef rais-
ing to Swedish embroidery, ‘’be
bop." and swimming.
"Oregon's 4-H members are in
troduced to a broad program of
many different subjects during
these ten days,” said Burton H.
Hutton, state 4-H leader. "At
most, they can get a good taste
but that taste often develops in
terests leading to vocations or
hobbies that may enrich their
lives."
Nine Members Honored
Nine of l^ne County's most ex
perienced 4-H members were
named to a selected group of 400
members who will participate in
