Kathy Hardt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hardt, Wood­ stock, age 19 and a 10 year member of the Harvard Prairie Toppers and a 5 year member of the Hartland Homemakers 4- H clubs. Projects .include clothing, arts and crafts, dairy, health, and safety. "I have found that through involvement in various 4-H activities that the time I have put into 4-H has more than doubled in the profits I have received. I know no other organization where a person can meet so many people that can be called friends and have the chance to become involved in so many activities in 4-H. All of my fellow 4-H-ers are what . makes belonging to the organization such a worthwhile experience and they have helped me achieve many goals.8', Diane Heinrich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Heinrich, Crystal Lake, age 16 and an 8 year member of the •Junior Wonder Maids 4-H^lub. Projects include clotting, foods, preservation. "One word comes to irilpd when I think of 4- challenging. The opportunities are unlimited ai\d always educatonal. Everyqpe learns something either through a project or activity. lit the past eight years I have gained vast amounts of information which I hope to use in my future career. 4-H has also enabled me to make new friends and have more memories than I ever expected. In my remaining years I hope to encourage younger members to get in­ volved so they, too, can challenge the "real world" as successfully as they did their "4-H world". Karen Kuhlman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kuhlman, Hebron, age 16 and an 8 year member of the Hebron Helping Hands and 4- H'ers 4-H clubs. Projects in- clude beef, swine, foods, beef setericev communications, room improvement, clothing uid gardening indoors. I "Through my 8 years as a member of the 4-H'ers and Hebron Helping Hands 4-H clubs, 4-H has meant many different things to me. The first couple of years mainly meant monthly meetings and com­ pleting projects. But as I grew older, I became more involved in 4-H activities, ranging from livestock judging and teen scene staff, to food demon­ strations and public speaking. Through these activities I've learned many things about myself, leadership, and responsibility. I have also become friends with many people I probably would never have met without 4-H. I believe 4-H has helped to round me into a better individual. But most important 4-H has meant seeing exciting places like State Fair, the University of Illinois, and Washington D.C. 4- H has also meant A lot of fun to me." Fay Stroh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A1 Stroh, Woodstock is 18 years old and a eight year member of the Hartland Homemakers 4-H club. Projects incude are cat care, communications, clothing, management and ornamental horticulture. "During my eight years as a 4-H'er in the Hartland Homemakers 4-H club, 4-H has given me the opportunity to learn how to work effectively with people as well as for them. It has given me a great sense of responsibility and has taught me how to take pride in my work. 4-H has meant new learning experiences, more fun and excitement than I ever could have believed and has given me a chance to grow as an adult by taking on bigger challenges, along with the many nice people I have met through 4-H. These friends have helped guide me not only in my 4-H work, but also for my future endeavors. It's been great! Shelly VonBruenchenhein, daugher of Mr. and F.G. VonBruenchenhein, McHenry, 17 years- old and a 6 year member of the Lincoln Cloverlqafs 4-H club. Projects inelude foods, photography, clothing and flower arranging. ' wish I could explain to the enure world what 4-H has done me, even though there is no end to what 4-H can do. For the most part, 4-H has given me opportunities to better my self academically, physically and spiritually. Through the 4-H program, I've learned im­ portant things, made lasting friendships and have many treasured memories. 4-H has given me a special place in life that I could never find ia 6-light.26"tlia. $413.50 List Our $49000 Pric* j proqressft̂ ii* $405.00 List 5-light. 23" dia.

Projects inlcude communications, photography, nature craft, clothing, foods, flower arranging, ceramics and sketching and drawing. "Throughout nine years as a member of the Lincoln Cloverleafs, I have had many dreams come true. When I first started 4-H H always wondered if I'd become an officer. Eventually I did. Many such experiences came through 4-H I won awards I never thought I possibly would, became Federation president and now am on queen court, a dream for every young 4-H girl. Besides all that, 4-H has offered numerous learning experiences that have helped me to become a better leader, a good citizen, a hard worker and an achiever. Above all, my favorite part of 4- H is meeting new 4-H friends and getting together with the old ones. That's what 4-H is about." Scott Detwiler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Burneal (Bud) Detwiler, 17 years old and a 7 year member of thd Greenwood Gremlins 4-H crab. Projects include gardening, food, leadership and | indoor gar­ dening. "4-H is fun, exiiting and a learning experience. Doing my projects with the friendly competitiveness of>other 4-H- ers has been great. They all try to helo each other in any way they can. I think 4-H can be for everyone and the people that don't participate don't know what they are missing. You meet so many nice people not only in your club but at county and multi-county events too. You have the opportunity to work for awards and to grow in leadership and maturity."

Projects include swine, tractor care, crops, and safety. M4-H has been very important to my life. It has shown me responsibilities, leadership and most of all respect for others. I have been in 4-H for 10 years. I have been in national and statewide activities. I have attended state 4-H conference for four years, last year as a teen leader and this year as a member of the State Planning committee for the conference from Region II." Dale Hazelwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Hazelwood, Marengo, is 19 years old and a member of the Buckshots and Cloverleaf Boosters 4-H club. He has been in 4-H for 8 years. Projects include money management for teens, bicycling, ceramics, macrame, string art, mosaics, nature crafts, weaving and sket­ ching, painting, flower arranging, gardening, photography, woodworking, cat care, sheep, goats, people to people, poultry and leadership and communications. "4-H has a lot. A lot more than it looks like. You can keep busy with things in your club but until you get involved with county 4-H you really won't know what it has to offer. There's just as much activity going on through county 4-H as in the club and sometime its a lot more fun. I didn't find out until my last year and I now wish I had found out earlier. There's a lot to do through the county and a lot of fun." Bob Larsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Larsen, Woodstock, is 19 years old and a member of the Community Builders 4-H club for 7 years. Projects in­ clude dairy, swine, poultry, crops, gardening, gun safety, dog care, and auto care. "I joined 4-H when I was 11, and regret not joining sooner. I've participated in almost every county event possible and I have been in many district events also. Thanks to my very active club, its been possible for me to go to state competition for 3 events: softball, Share-The-Fun and Dairy judging. This past year I placed 7th in the State In­ vitational Judging contest representing McHenry county. The best way to sum up 4-H is 1) having fun. 2) meeting lots of great people and 3) getting involved. I guess all in all 4-H is a bunch of 4-Her's Sharing-The Fun together." Jeff Riley, son of Mr Mrs. Thomas J. Riley, age Harvard, member of the Center 4-H .Club. His projects include swine, goat production, dairy, leadership, com­ munications and sheejS: 10 year member. "4-H can be only as benefical to the industrious 4-H'er as by the total involvement they put in to it. My club went through some low times, and as our membership began to increase the total involvement came right back. I'm very proud of the Milk Center 4-H club for the an<L i m!& 1 / • accomplishments we have done and will do. When you work together its very easy to 'make the best better' ." Steve Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Thompson of Woodstock, 17 years old and a member of the Greenwood Gremlins 4-H club for 9 years. Projects include forestry, electricity, home grounds improvement and ornamental horticulture. B "4-H is fun; it's rewarding; and it offers one a chance to grow. When I joined at 9, it was exciting to select projects and to attend meetings where kids from 8-18 worked together on activities such as window displays, club tours, baseball, and Share-The-Fun. By 13, 4-H provided me the opportunity to expand from club activities to county, state, national, and even the international ex­ change programs. At 17, I am in the position to make others aware the 4-H has a place for everyone, a place that will develop friendship, leadership, responsibility, and some great memories."
