4-HR Roundup
By Carey Cannon
All Club Member

The State All Round Up held in
Jackson each fall is for the
county, district and state All club
winners. The Round Up is spon-
Sored by the Jackson Chamber
of Commerce. Each year for the
past twelve years there has been
an attendance of nearly $50 All
club boys and girls and their
agents.
I was selected to attend this
Round Up because I was the
is in the electric project. The Mis-
ject last year. There are only two
county winners to attend and this
is inthe electric project. The Mis-
sisippi Power and Light Company
sponsors a boy and a girl from
each of the 81 counties to attend
Round Up each year.
On this trip to Jackson which
was on the 18th and 18th of Oct
ober, we arrived at noon on the
18th. After being assigned to a
room we had free time until a
pm.
We were invited to a reception
at the Governors Mansion from
a to 6 PM. There were severa
state officials present and after
meeting them we were served.
That night there was a banquet
in the Victory Room and after the
banquet a dance was held for all
members attending Round Up.
Jerry Lane and his orchestra fur
niShed music for the dance.
On the 29th at breakfast which
was sponsored by the Mississippi
Power and Light Company, all
electric winners were given a
Freddy Kilowatt Souvenir. The
remainder of the morning, on the
29th, we were tourinv jackson on
BUSES furnished by different con-
Germs. We had lunch at Millsaps
College and returned to the hotel
to pack for our trip home.
After attending Round Up in
1858, I can truthfully say, that
every All boy and girl should try
their best to attend this inspiring
conference.

Council Meet
By Pat Haffey
Council President

The All Council met in Septem-
Der and elected Pat Haftey as pre-
sident, Carey Cannon and Lee
beth Frost as vice-president, Bar
bara Ann Brock as secretary
treasurer and Martha Cherry
Hamberlin was elected recreation
al leader.
In subsequent meetings a Christ
mas party and an achievement
party were planned by council
committees and carried out.
A committee of mothers and
Alters planned the Christmas
party which featured amusing
and clever games, an exchange of
gifts and scrumptious refresh
ments. In business prior to this
party, Alters sold candy and veg
etable Slicers, two excellent items,
for Al funds.
The achievement party was a
wel-planned success. It featured
two good speeches = one by MI.
Marvin Mcclellan concerning the
need to do your best and develop
your potential in whatever field
you enter and one by Mack Kille-
brew who gave an enthralling de-
Scription of his event-filled trip to
Chicago, which he won as state
winner in Soil and Water Conser-
walton.
Then the medals were passed
out-too numerous to mention
to various Alters who achieved
the best in their respective pro-
jects, such as food, clothing, for
estry, tractor maintenance, dairy
ing, corn, leadership. garden,
cotton and numerous others.
Two delicious concoctions-cup-
cake squares and punch were SER
we'd at the close of the meeting.

Junior judging
Team Wins
Seventh Place
By Walter Sullivan, Jr.
Al Club Member

The 1858 Holmes County All Jr.
crop team was made up of the fol-
lowing boys: Walter Sullivan, Jr.,
vicky Etheridge, Julian Watson
and Larry Spell.
This team was selected after
several weeks of practice by hav-
ing three elimination contests.
There were six boys that tried out
for the team, but only four make
up a team. The boys selected had
the highest total scores for the
three elimination contests.
The team first participated in
district contests at Clevelnad on
May II, 1858. Out of nineteen
teams participating, our team
placed first. We were happy to
receive this honor, but surprised.
After winning, first in district, we
were then eligible to compete in
the State contest on July 7th and
9Th.
At the State contest we arrived
on the morning of July 7th. The
group from other counties arrived
on this date also. We all assembled
in the Y.W.C.A. auditorium. Here
we were divided into several
groups and toured the Mississippi
State campus.
Our team was given rooms in
the "late Old Main Dorm. That
night we practiced a little for the
contest the next day.
On the morning of 9Th, we took
part in the judging contest. Our
team was not as hot this day as
at the district contest. At the end
of the contest we were told that
we had placed 7th out of eighteen
teams from all over the State.
In 1859 we will have the same
boys on the team. We are looking
forward to again representing the
Northwest district in the State
contest.

Club Congress
BY Barbara Brock
Secretary Of Junior Council

In July of 1858 the Holmes Co
unity winners in several projects
spent four days on the Mississippi
University campus for State Club
Congress. Those attending were:
Sheela Ables. Rose Gnemi, Bar
bara Brock, Mack Killebrew,
David Summerlin, Carey Cannon
and Myron Dillon.
During these four days 4 : Hers
from all eighty two Counties at
tending several meetings to hear
distinguished speakers, who
brought interesting and informant
i've messages. Each night a party
was held so that the 4 : Hers
could get acquainted and enjoy
games and square dances.
The contests, which are a very
important part of Club Congress,
require study and hard work from
each contestant. Three of the Hol-
mes County Alters placed within
the top three in their particular
projects. They were Mack Kille-
brew, a first place winner; Myron
Dillon, a second place winner;
and Barbara Brock a third place
winner.
These four days were full of ex-
periences, friendships and pleas

AS we all know February %
through March 7th will be observ-
this week Alters throughout the
ed as National All week. During
nation will be telling their All
story in many different ways. In
my story I'll tell you about Mis-
lsSippi All camps.
We, Alters in Holmes County,
are fortunate to have three diff
ferent camps to attend. The loca-
tons r Sardis, Ocean Springs
and Choctaw. Last summer dur
ing the last week of July we had
fifty four Holmes County boys an
girls attending camp at Choctaw
Lake All camp. Al camps are us
ually three days. Last year we
camped with Winston County. Our
camp was led by two senior and
two junior councillors. They had
charge of recreation which con-
sisted of swimming, crafts, dane
ing and different types of sports.
During this time Alters are given
an opportunity to use their talent
in camp programs.
This year we all are looking for
ward to camping at Sardis the
last week of July with approx
mately sixty five attending.
For four years I have attended
All camp and each time meeting
different people and learning new
activities have helped me in 4E
club work. / am looking forward
to camp and hoping that more
Holmes County Alters will at
J tend.

Recreation
By Martha Cherry Hamberlin
Al Club Member

You might think being a recrea-
ton leader is an easy job. Have
you ever tried preparing games
that would interest a group
whose ages range from nine to
seventeen years? It is not an easy
task.
I was glad when our All club
leader, Miss Barbara Moore, ask
ed me if / would like to go to
Clarksdale to a recreation school
to be held for All club boys
and girls from eleven counties.
Early Tuesday morning, Febru-
airy seventeenth, Miss Moore, Mr..
Mullendore, o. A. Cleveland, Bobc
Elliott, Betty Sue Killebrew and
I left from Lexington to attend
the school at Clarksdale. Mr.. c.
M. Chafee and Mr.. r. K. Smith
from State University were ir
charge of the school. Tfsay taught
us many interesting group games
folk dances and songs that coulG
be used in Al club meetings
There were 66 club members pre-.
sent.
We enjoyed this meeting very
much and feel like all All clul
meetings will be more enjoyable
with a variety of games at each
meeting.

Report onTrip
BY Mack Killebrew
All Club emb

In recognition of National All
Club week I would like to salute
the All Alumni with one of their
detectives, providing youth with
living examples of dependable,
purposeful citizenship. The All
Alumni is composed of adults who
have been previously enrolled as
Al members and have outstand-
ing records of accomplishment.
The Alumni are leaders in bus
mess throughout the world and
most will say they learned a lot
from All club work. I will list a
few detectives that the Alumni
learned as Alters and what the
young people enrolled as All
members are confronted with. The
few of many detectives are: to
help young people to acquire
knowledge, skilS and attitudes for
satisfying home and family life;
to develop their talents and slim
ulate a desire to reach their OPP
timum leadership and citizenship
potential; to develop attitude, abil-
tiles and understandings for work.
ing comparatively with others; to
develop an appreciation of nature,
understanding of conservation and
wise use of natural resources;
and to have practical experiences
that will help them develop into
capable, well-adjusted adults
The All club started in Holmes
County, Mississippi by Mr.. Viii
liam Hall Corn Club" Smith. Mr..
Smith was then superintendent of
the schools in Holmes County. The
purpose is said to have been his
wanting a system of schools that
would not lose their hold on a boy
when he reached the age of ID. In
January 1908, after the first sue
cesful year, a meeting was held
in Durant, Holmes County, Missis-
sippi, composed of representatives
from the Experiment Station at
State College, Mississippi, the
State Superintendent of Education
and MI. Smith laid plans for
spreading the clubs to other
counties. Today the All Club is
located in almost every country
of the world and a National Con-
gress of club members is held in
Chicago each year.
1 was honored by being one of
the "a club members that repre-
scented Mississippi at the 37th
National Club Congress in 1858 al
Chicago. I was the state winner in
soil and water conservation and
was sponsored on this trip by the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany. While at National Club Con-
gress, l met many All boys and
girls from different sections of the
world, trading ideas and talking
with all I met. I had fun every
where; at the banquets, dances,
tours and assemblies. Everywhere
1 went there was something new
to learn SO the trip was very edu-
cational as well as enjoyable.
I wish every 4H'er could make
this trip. Any member can make
the trip if he sticks to the All
motto, ITO Make The Best, Bet
ter, and if he doesn't give up on
his projects and records when
things don't go to suit him.
The All club, along with the
other youth clubs, develop future
leaders in our world and for this
I salute the All club and all the
members and adult leaders in the
club during this National All club
week and throughout the year.
