l don't think anyone can be any
prouder ito be a All member than
l. love the All. and it has done
a lot for me. Being member,
have taken Clothing as my main
project This project has helped me
very much in learning to sew and
being able to enter the various
clothing contests.
Also, through the All, I have
met people-a lot of whom are my
friends. We all anticipate the diff
ferent events the All holds such
as the various contests, Short
Course, the Fair, Camp, the annual
picnic, and of course the skating
parties. AT these events we all get
together and have wonderful
time.
/ think one will find most Alters
are ambitious The All has made
us that way. Through the ambition
the 4-H has given us, a lot of f.
Hers have gone far-as far as
Chicago to All Club Congress
Some even become leaders and ag-
ents.
The All motto is: Make The
Best Better. Ever All member
tries to, and it is his ambition that
makes him. If he didn't have this
ambition and the will to make the
best better, there wouldn't be f.
Hers to compete in the different
contests year after year without
winning. When l do this, am try
ing to improve myself over the
past. l do, and | learn doing it.
The All has also helped me to
live betetr and give service to
others when it is needed or asked
for. 1t has taught me to share and
be considerate of others and
realize every one may not have the
same ideas on subject that l have.
Also, | have learned to be a leader
and good follower through club
work
l haven't written lot, but from
what have written, / think one
will find it is worthwhile to be a
4-H'er or we wouldn't be as we'll
represented as we are. The way the
Alters feel about the club has
caused a lot of other teenagers to
join and find out just what makes
US feel about the club as we do.
Through their curiosity they have
learned to love the, All as l do.
