The Four-H Club of the Robinson
Springs school met at its regular
time on Tuesday, March 27th, with
Mr. Barton. Ihe program varied
from the usual way by entertaining
the school and a few representatives
of the community by giving a play
“The Man from Brandon.” After the
play Mr. Barton gave examination to
the dub members.
The business was attended to the
following morning when Mrs. L. C.
Macon was elected local leader for
the girls and Mr. Sid Brumbelow was
chosen leader for the boys. The club
also decided that it would set out
sweet potatoes on the two acres that
has been added to the school recently.
The proceeds of this enterprise is to
be used for buying books to build up
<>ur library. ., ■
We would like to have as many as
possible at our next meeting which
will be the last Tuesday of this month
and we urge the leaders in particular^
to be here—Reporter.
