Groveville 4-H

If not read able, the caption below the picture reads;

Growing plants in boxes will constitute the major project this summer of the younger boys of Groveville, who are members of the 4-H Flower Club. Pictured above are several of the group at work constructing the boxes, under the direction of Henry Freeze, leader. They are left to right Leo Reed, William Mich, Samuel Bainbridge, Henry Freeze, Melvin Becker, Robert Thompson, James Jones, Lester Lippincott and William Jones. Other members Ernest Becker, Carl Cubberly, and Lloyd Blanchard

Knowing the people in this newspaper clipping I would guess this picture was taken in the early to mid 1940’s. Some of the boys don’t look real happy to have their picture taken and put in the newspaper as members of the 4-H Flower Club. It’s hard to be a tough guy in school after this. Jimmy Jones looks down right dangerous with that hammer in his hand.
