Having Active Program
The Campfire Girls at Clinton
under the leadership of
Mrs. Pat Sholar and Mrs.
Benard Patterson have been
very active during the past
month working on their Fire
Makers rank. The young girls
have finished their household
beautification project and
have gathered materials for
an outdoor craft. They now
are in the process of plotting
out their own front yards and
learning the names and faces
of all trees, flowers and
shrubs around them.
