AN ESCORTS BACKSTAGE VIEWWarren Taylor of Northampton County

agrees with most all former Dress Revueparticipants in saying he still can't believethat a graceful, colorful and beautiful dis-play of pretty girls in beautiful dresses,suits, ensembles, and evening gownsresulted from those first futile attemptsat organization of the Revue.

Warren was picked by his assistantHome Economics Extension Agent, Mrs.Clyde (Mildred) Jenkins to represent hiscounty by modeling a suit from the ”VillageSquire, " one of Raleigh's most outstanding

young men's shops. He considers beingasked to model the suit and also to escortone of "those charming girls" quite anhonor and is sure he will remember itfor many years to come.

Following a period of organizationand division into groups, a representativefrom the Simplicity Pattern Companycame to teach the young ladies and gentle-men how to properly walk and also how tomodel. Warren was very interested inthis because he felt many people weresure to notice a boy who carries himselfwell.

Then came all the fun, rehersal.According to Warren, three and one halfhours of practicing was tiring, but it wasworth it. Warren is looking forward tonext year and the years to follow whenhe will once again be seeing the manyfriends he met this year in the DressRevue at State 4-H Club Week.

Much of Dr, Blalock's talk concernedthe importance of training at early age,He reassured all that "training buildsleaders, and yes, track phenomenonssuch as the great Jesse Owens. "

Training gives the individual a purposeand direction to the extent that one puresues his goals with enthusiasm, Thisenthusiasm continues to grow to the point

"Boils over and runs down theside of the pot, " The effect is "conta-geous, ” according to Dr° Blalock, "Afriendliness and genuine interest andaffection for people is developed. " Apersonal integrity is prevalent, which"will not betray trust, " With trainingone strives to attain the 4—H motto anddevelop a "technical mastery in any fieldhe wishes. " However, a person trainedalong the right lines will understandthat all cannot be No, l and therefore”will put himself in the other personsplace, ” Dr° Blalock said,

Seriously . . . and WarmlyConcerned. . . When the plane arrived, more than Confident.

an hour late, Lyman Dixon of the StateStaff, Peggy Shaw, Guilford County were on hand with a small crowd of people whohad heard of the arrival of this athelete and idol of youngsters the world over.

"Clover Leaves“ questions put to Mr. Owens prompted quick answers.Young people of America were on Mr. Owens mind, and most of his answerscame quickly with honest concern for the future of his country and the youngstersaround the world.

”Young people should get a good education. But a goal is necessary alongwith incentive and the will to achieve. And, it is based on a good education, " hecommented.

Physical fitness figured in some of the basics Mr. Owens called necessaryfor a good life. As in the case of an athelete, ”. . . his Success depends on hiscoach and the coach's ability. But the individual must have interest, willingnessto achieve, determination and confidence, " Mr. Owens added.

"The greatest moment in my career as an athelete was when I won the "100meter" in the Olympics after dreaming, and working for eight years. "

This reporter listened closely to Mr. Owens advice, as the morningassembly throngs did. "A good listener receives more than the talker, " he hadsaid earlier.

The ”Clover Leaves" Staff (above) have names individually, but during State4-H Club Week, these journalists answer to most any reasonable name--especiallyif there is a good story connected. If one of these active 4-H'ers has talked withyou, then you know his or her name. "Clover Leaves" editor, Bill Gulley; andAssoc. Editor and typist, Janice Nixon, were fortunate to get this and the photobelow "locked-up" by press time, much less identified person-by-person.

Radio and TV 4—H'ers worked just as hard as other members of the "media"—-Reese Edwards, Hal Ryenolds and Ruth Sheehan will tell you. Whithout all,coverage of this special week would not be possible.
