Senior 4-H Club
After a weiner roast August 5 at Sperryville Fire Hall, nineteen students directed by Miss Judy Burtner and Lee Brumback held a meeting to form a Senior 4-H Club. Officers elected were: President, Ricky Gore; Vice-President, Gail Updike; Secretary, Susan Dodson; Treasurer, Judy Alther; and Reporter, Betty Jenkins.
