Round-Up Reports
If any of you asked a 4-H'er,
who attended the recent 4-H
Round-Up at the University,
about his trip, he probably had a
hard time giving a full descrip
tion. So much he saw and did!
But here are two 4-H’ers who
have put into writing their im
pressions.
Judy Hurley wrote—“The 4-H
Round-up of 1954 included many
various activities. Each morning
an assembly was held in which
talks, demonstrations, and group
discussions were held. The day
after arrival, in the afternoon, the
4-H’ers walked to the Experimen
tal farm where they viewed a lit
tle rodeo given by the ‘Aurora
Pioneers 4-H Club’ of Fairbanks.
The next day, the 4-H’ers were
taken by bus to Ester Dome
where they saw a gold dredge and
some diggings. Following this, a
picnic was enjoyed. In the even
ing movies were shown on gold
mining. The following day, the
4-H’ers who were interested in
radio work were guests of Mar
garet Goodfellow, home demon
stration agent of Fairbanks, on
her daily radio program. The re
maining 4-H’ers had lunch in
Fairbanks. Upon arriving back at
the University of Alaska, the
4-H’ers participated in a tour of
the Geophysical Institute and
Museum. That evening, Otto
Geist, a fossil collector, gave a
talk on his hobby and showed
several fossils and bones in his
collection. The last day, two
boys of the Fairbanks Forestry
club gave a demonstration on
conservation for which they
planted two plants beside Dr.
Ernest Patty’s house. In the eve
ning, election was held for the
outstanding boy and girl, the
girl was Maureen Dobbs of Fair
banks and the boy, Larry Trow
bridge of Palmer.
After five enjoyable days we
returned eager to tell those who
didn’t come this year of all the
wonderful times we had in the
hope they will try to go to the
4-H Round-Up next year.”
Karen Splettstoezer wrote —
“The Alaskan 4-H Round-Up met
with children from 5 Alaskan
towns, Juneau, Anchorage, Pal
mer and Fairbanks. We were all
met at the depot by Mrs. Lydia
Fohn Hansen. Those from Jun
eau were brought from the air
port to the depot by car and
from there we were all taken to
College, where some of us had
our first glimpse of the Univer
sity of Alaska. Here we stayed
for five days and all had a won- J
derful time in activities. Mrs. '
Fohn Hansen had provided for
us, picnics, a trip to the gold
dredge, demonstrations from all
the clubs, a trip to town, a swim
ming trip and various other ex
citing and interesting activities,
before bed each night, we were
given hot cocoa.”
Happy Wacky Gardeners
We had our third meeting June
28 at my home. The meeting was
called to order by Vice-president
Beyland. We went on a tour of
inspection of my project. I gave
a demonstration on how to stick
peas. Our meeting was adjourn
ed. Refreshments were served by
my mother, Mrs. Poisal.
VADNEY BLEDSOE, reporter
