Mr. Bale, County Agent, showed several pictures of places and people he had taken during 4-H Club tours and camps. After this we sang songs with Mrs. Sebring and Mr. Bale as leaders. We gave the Flag Salute, and the roll call was answered by each member giving is the name of some bird and telling all they knew about it. Officers for the following year were elected as follows: President, Ida Green; vice presi dent, Bobby Green; secretary, Gladys Pulver; treasurer, Charles Malloy; cheer leader, Katherine Malloy. We gave club yells, but Harold Allen and Ida Green were much more interested in catching a spider that crossed their path. Every member is to make up a yell and the best one is to be used at Achievement Day which is held at Watkins Glen.
