Some of the 4-H clubs mentioned in The Comradeship Book are the Pig Club, the Sewing Club, the Sheep Club, the Canning Club, the Cotton Club and the Clothing Club. One excerpt states: "Club members have good times at their weekly or monthly meetings. The projects, which are all carrying on, are discussed, literary talents are tested, and refreshments are served. Every club has a president, a secretary-treasurer and a reporter. In all of its activities, the club has the aid of some local public spirited man or woman who acts as a leader." All of that is pretty much exactly the same today!
Here are the photos and their captions...
