Largest Club Session
Ends at Oregon State
The nation's largest 4-H club sum
mer session neared its end on the
Oregon State college campus this
week as 2054 youngsters from every
county in the state finished up their
classwork and prepared to leave for
home on Friday morning, June 20.
While there may be other places
where more clubbers are gathered
together for a few days, no state
holds a two-week session with such
a large number, according to H. C.
Seymour, state lub leader.
An indication of the classwork
taken may be had from the fact
that the girls alone had! 64 different
sections available, totaling 2048
hours of classwork during the ten
days of scheduled study. The sec
tions and hours for boys were not
quite ashigh but added materially
to the total.
Tentative registration figures
showed 1305 girls and 749 boys in
addition to between 150 and 200
local leaders and extension workers
who assisted with the sessions. The
clubbers set up their own govern
ing groups with representatives
from each of the 32 fraternity and
sorority houses and three dormitor
ies on executive committees.
The girls' executive committee
was headed by Betty Cushman of
Condon and the boys' executive
committee by Brick Leever of Port-,
land.
