HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



COLLEGE SENIORS TO ACT 

 AS LEADERS 



In years past groups of girls in Am- 

 herst have been led by M. A. C. students 

 and fine results obtained, both for the 

 club members and the college girls who 

 led them. We've wondered lately why 

 M. A. C. men students couldn't be in- 

 terested in the Club Work with boys in 

 and around Amherst and so after finding 

 two groups of boys agreeing to take up 

 handicraft work this winter we succeeded 

 in getting two M. A. C. seniors to act as 

 leaders. Both Mr. Gilford Montague of 

 Sundei'land and Mr. Benjamin Derby of 

 Concord are ex-club members and have 

 already gotten a group in West Pelham 

 and one in Cushman underway. 



AROUND THE COUNTY 



With Club Folks 



The clothing and handicraft club mem- 

 bers of Divight undei' the leadership of 

 Miss Randolph gave an entertainment 

 Wednesday, December 3rd, to observe 

 Thanksgiving and also to raise some 

 money to buy tools for handicraft work. 

 At Dwight thei-e are ten girls in Clothing 

 Work and five in Handicraft. 



At the Club Leaders' Conference in 

 Amherst on November 22d the subject of 

 ■■^ongs was brought up. It appears that 

 a good state club song is wanted. I will 

 give a trip to Camp Vail to the club mem- 

 ber who writes the best club song this 

 winter. Here's your chance, members, 

 a whole week at the Exposition.
