The candidates are Lee Tomlinson, 18, McHenry; Marilyn Stanonik. 16, Woodstock; Donna Fleming, 16, Marengo; Gina Roppart, 18, Harvard; Betsy Payne. 17, Woodstock; and, Ann Perry. 17, Harvard. The candidates prepared this background information on their 4-H careers and aspirations: Gina Boppart. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Boppart, Harvard, is a member of the Hartland Homemakers Club. 4-H pro­ jects she is enrolled in include clothing, foods and arts and crafts. "I have been involved in 441 for the past ten years and have found it very rewar­ ding hccause of the many activities I have participated in. I belong to the Hartland Homemakers Club and have held almost* every office and chaired many commit­ tees. My projects mainly include foods, clothing, crafts and photography," Gina said. "The most rewarding experiences I have had in 4-H include winning at state fair, going to 4-H banquets, being a junior leader and probably most of all, being a counselor at Camp Shaw for the past two years. 4-H has made available many op­ tions in my life and influenced my future plans to major in the clothing area at Pur­ due. Through 4-H I have been able to meet new people, set and work towards goals and develop a sense of self through all that 4-H has to offer," she added. Betsy Payne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Payne, Woodstock, is a member of the Hartland Homemakers Club. 4-H pro­ jects she is enrolled in include clothing, foods, and automobiles. "When I was eight-years-old and just starting 4-H, all I could think of was how much fun it would be -- maybe I would even learn something. Now that I am in my tenth year of 4-H, I realize just how im­ portant 4-H has been to me. Participation in public speaking and demonstration con­ tests when I was young helped me tremen­ dously. Now when I address large au­ diences, I am at ease and feel quite com­ fortable," Betsy said. Ann Perry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Perry, Harvard, is a member of the Dunham "B" Sharps Club. 4-H projects she is enrolled in include her major project of clothing. ' "I have been in 4-H for nine years. My projects over the years have included foods, clothing, arts and crafts and livestock. The most rewarding for me is showing a livestock project because I feel proud to show them at the fair knowing all of the work I've put into raising them," Ann said. "4-H has taught me to get involved and have fun doing whatever I'm involved in. Through 4-H I have met many people and made many friends, and I can honestly say it has been the most worthwhile part of my life. I have reached many goals in 4-H that can only help me in the future and later, when asked what I miss most in life, 1 will answer ... 4-H," she added. Lee Tomlinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tomlinson, McHenry, is a member of the Busy Three 4-H Club. 4-H projects she is enrolled in include clothing, home furnishing and arts and crafts. "Nine years of membership has provid­ ed me with worthwhile adventures while learning skills necessary to complete some 80 projects including sheep, interior design, gardening and a variety of arts and crafts. I have grown socially and emo­ tionally while meeting members and form­ ing lasting friendships," Lee said. Marilyn Stanonik, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Stanonik, Woodstock, is a member of the Hartland Homemakers Club. 4-H projects she is enrolled in include clothing, veterinary science, foods and arts and crafts. "Being a 4-H member for the last seven years has meant more than just an activity to fill up free time. Donna Fleming, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Fleming, Marengo, is a member of the South Dunham Community Club. 4-H projects she is enrolled in include photography, foods and arts and crafts. "I have learned a lot in the eight years I have been in 4-H. 4-H has taught me how to set goals and accomplish them. It's show­ ed me how I can better my life by helping others and the joy and pride that comes out of it. Through 4-H I have also discovered the career I plan to go into, and 4-H is help­ ing me to reach the success of my dream."
