II have been in All less than
half of my life and 1 feel that it
has been the best half" This is
what Roger King has to say about
ar organization to which he has
contributed a lot of time and ef-
fort and from which he has gain
ed valuable and practical know
ledge and has learned to get along
with people. He has experienced
the joy of helping younger mem
bers, and the wholesome fun of
group work and play. Roger has
served as a junior leader in his
club for the last four years. Pre-
vious to This undertaking, he had
gained valuable experience for
the task of helping the younger
members in his club and assist
ing the adult leaders with the
planning and executing of the
yearly program. Roger has given
a total of SO demonstrations, par
ticipated in 43 judging events, and
16 showmanship events. He has
served as secretary, historian, re-
porter, recreation leader and pres
ident of his All club. Out of a
total of 81 meetings his club has
held, Roger answered roll call at
80.
The people in Rogers commune
ty are familiar with his name -
he has talked before AZ All
groups, 8 other civic groups, 5
radio appearances, 2 TV appear
ances, and has written 10 news
stories. He has assisted with the
planning of the County Talent
Show and Rural Life Sunday and
acted as master of ceremonies
for both. He helped set up the
community playground sponsored
by his club.
Rogers hard work and ability
to lead has won him respect and
recognition not only locally, but
district and state-wise. In 1855,
he was a delegate to the Nation
al Club Congress in Chicago, and
in 1857, was chosen a delegate to
Camp Miniwanca In Michigan.
However, the benefits Roger
has derived from All cannot
be stated in terms of trips, prizes
and awards. His mother has this
to say:
Through All, Roger has be-
more of an all-around per-
son - able to adapt himself to
almost any circumstance. He has
gained immeasurably from his
judging experiences, talks, DEM
onstrations, trips and other pub
lie appearances. He has a sense
of civic duty through working
with the local club on communi-
ty projects, leadership through
working with younger members
and responsibility to work at
home by having his own cattle,
etc.
