4-H Girls Represent North Carolina at National Congress, 1939




These girls represented North Carolina 4-H Clubs at the National 4-H Congress at Chicago, Illinois. All were winners of State contests, which entitled them to the trip. They are, reading left to right: Carmen Nicholson of Jackson County, winner of the handicrafts contest; Helen Higdon, also of Jackson County, winner of the food conservation award; Lucille Gupton of Vance County, winner of the rural electrification project; Ruth King Mason of Iredell County, the State 4-H Health Queen; Margaret Kinlaw of Cumberland County, the food preservation winner; Mildred Edwards of Pitt County, winner of the clothing contest; and Ruth Alexander of Iredell County, who kept the best records on her 4-H Club projects. Miss Frances MacGregor, assistant 4-H Club leader of State College, and Miss Anne Tucker, home demonstration agent of the Extension Service in McDowell County, accompanied the girls.
