She again entered her sewing in August 1919 and took second prize. Marie Kistler also won first prize on her eggs. Connie attended the Institute in 1917. Later on they had corn clubs and in 1924 Elizabeth Hersent chaperoned a group of young people to the A.C. including Mary Huting and Tony Hersent from Grace City. In 1927 Ruth and Bessie Flatters wrote to the A.C. for literature on 4-H Clubs.
A club was organized with I.A. Flatters as leaders. All literature came out of the A.C. The club ran for two years. Members were Jennie Black, Fern, Lucy and Anna Willoughby, Margaret and Anna Huiting, Ruth, Bessie and Alcie Flatters, Constance Enstad and Lillian Kluck.
In later years the Grace City Live Wires were formed in 1937. The boys also had the Grace City Livestock Club and even had a cooking club for boys. Mrs. Roy Topp was a leader for 10 years and Mrs. Lorris Sandvol for 25 years. Girls winning National Trips were: Betty Topp, Verdus Sandvol, Fern Topp, Judy Black, Muriel House, and Marilyn Topp.
Many of the boys and girls went to state events, entering stock and judging, clothing, cooking, canning, etc.
The Merry Stitchers 4-H club was organized and chartered in 1934 with Mrs. C. Otto, leader.
Larrabee Homemakers Club was organized in 1933.
The Farmers Club was a continuation of the Non-Partisan Club. The name was changed June 1925 with Mrs. E.F. Johnson, president. Some of the projects were to donate $25 to each of the following: school library, Ladies Aid, and the Cemetery Association.
