“Alamance Youth
Wins Scholarship” in the April 1955 issue of Extension
Farm-News
William Joseph
Lindley Jr., Snow Camp, Route 1, is winner of a $300 scholarship to N.C. State
College.
The A.C. Kimrey
Award went to Lindley on the basis of his 4-H Club dairy achievement, according
to J.D. George, Extension dairy specialist at the college. The scholarship was
established last year by the sons of Kimrey, retired Extension dairyman who
made many contributions to 4-H dairy work during his professional service.
Kimrey lives at Raleigh.
Lindley, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Lindley, is a member of Alamance County’s Eli Whitney 4-H
Club. Winner of many honors during his six years as a 4-H’er, he was a member
of the 4-H team that represented North Carolina in the National Dairy Judging
contests at Waterloo, Iowa, in 1954. He owns a seven-cow dairy herd.
Lindley has served
as an officer of his local 4-H Club two years and in the Alamance 4-H County
Council one year. In addition to his 4-H achievements, he has held positions of
leadership on his school’s student council, yearbook staff, and in the Future
Farmers of America.
The Kimrey Award
selection is based on 4-H dairy project activities, participation in 4-H dairy
events, and over-all leadership record.
