EBRUARY 19, 1923, former members of Nebraska Boys' and Girls' Clubs who were interested in forming some sort of an organization, met at the State Club office as the guests of Mr. L. I. Frisbie, State Boys' and Girls' Club Leader. Mr. Frisbie appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and draft by-laws.

     The purpose of the University 4-H Club, as stated by the committee, is to develop good fellowship among students of the University, who formerly have been members of 4-H Clubs; to help club members get acquainted when they come to the University; to create a desire for more education among the Short Course men; to advertise the University during Boys' and Girls' Club Week; and to further the interest and welfare of agriculture.

     The members of this organization hold several parties during the year and assist in entertaining and caring for club members during Club Week. The club prepares a float for Farmers' Fair Parade; acts as a committee during registration in the fall to discover new members; welcomes and entertains Short Course people and tries to interest them in the University; and also assists with the club exhibits during State Fair week.

     The future for the organization is very promising. The membership has doubled in the past two years. The club feels sure the first place will be carried out to a greater and fuller extent, and as the membership increases it will surely become a very strong organization.

ALKYRIE, the senior-junior women's society, was founded in June, 1917, the year of America's entry into the World War. Its purpose is primarily friendly and social. Each spring it elects from the various Greek letter sororities twelve girls who have been representative socially and on the campus during their college course, and seeks to draw them together in bonds of friendship and greater understanding.

     Valkyrie entertains at various teas during the year at Ellen Smith Hall for all University girls, and at the various sorority houses of the members for senior women. In addition, the members of Valkyrie meet together twice monthly for social purposes and on Ivy Day present an award to the senior girl with the highest scholarship average.

     Valkyrie had, at its inception, as its object, the promotion of spirit and interest in the Women's Athletic Association, but since that organization has become firmly established the society has found other things to do. In the nine years since its founding Valkyrie has had a strong and varied membership, many of whom have won distinguished honors, both for the sorority and for themselves.
