19, 1923, former members of Nebraska Boys' and Girls'
Clubs who were interested in forming some sort of an
organization, met at the State Club office as the
guests of Mr. L. I. Frisbie, State Boys' and Girls'
Club Leader. Mr. Frisbie appointed a committee to draw
up a constitution and draft by-laws.
The purpose of the
University 4-H Club, as stated by the committee, is to
develop good fellowship among students of the
University, who formerly have been members of 4-H
Clubs; to help club members get acquainted when they
come to the University; to create a desire for more
education among the Short Course men; to advertise the
University during Boys' and Girls' Club Week; and to
further the interest and welfare of agriculture.
The members of this
organization hold several parties during the year and
assist in entertaining and caring for club members
during Club Week. The club prepares a float for
Farmers' Fair Parade; acts as a committee during
registration in the fall to discover new members;
welcomes and entertains Short Course people and tries
to interest them in the University; and also assists
with the club exhibits during State Fair week.
The future for the
organization is very promising. The membership has
doubled in the past two years. The club feels sure the
first place will be carried out to a greater and
fuller extent, and as the membership increases it will
surely become a very strong organization.
