young people a chance to explore

gomery Ward.
Hendrix, a member of 4-H for
four years, will receive a scholar
snip, if she wins.
Her project which emphasizes
stenciling as a means of inexpen
sively redecorating a home, has
already won district and state
awards.
Hendrix's interest in stenciling
reflects the revival of an old art.
Stenciling, long age, was used by
the colonists to brighten painted
floors or enliven paneled walls.
Today, stenciling is enjoying a
great deal of popularity, and as

(ion, it can be done rather inexpen
sively.
The paints used for stenciling
are not costly and they can be used
for many projects. Usually, stencil
packages include several patterns
which can be varied at the sten
ciler's descretion. Hand towels,
pillows and wall designs such as
Hendrix exhibits in her presenta
tion, can be achieved for pennies.
Hendrix, an energetic junior at
Hoke County, High School, is a
firm supporter of the county 4-H
program.
"I wouldn't have know about
stenciling if I hadn't learned it at a
4-H booth during Family Fun Day
last year," she professes.
Not only was she introduced to
this craft through 4-H, but, she
stresses, leadership was there,
through the 4-H agent for her to
develop those beginning skills.
"You learn a lot through 4-H
and there's something for
everyone," she adds. "It's not just
cows and horses. It's everything."
Hendrix's project, which in
cludes stenciling on different sur
faces, has also developed her skill
in public speaking. She has
presented her program oh various
groups around town and in
September, as a guest on Channel
40's Carolina Spotlight.
Although she admits she was "a
little nervous" she is looking for
ward to the final demonstration of
her project in Chicago.
In spite of her developing in
terest in the craft world, Hendrix
admits that she is not enrolled in
art at Hoke High. ("I can't
draw.") Extra-curricular activities

Hoke High Band. This past sum
mer, she had to cut short her week
at 4-H Congress held at North
Carolina State University, where
she was teaching a workshop on
stenciling, in order to practice with
the band. She is the first to
acknowledge that she is, indeed, a
very busy young lady.
Her future plans include college
and possbily, a career as a 4-H
agent. It's not surprising that she
would choose such a course since it
has been so beneficial to her.
It is encouraging to know that
county programs, such as 4-H, are
usefully guiding our young folks
into creative and artistic fields and
fine tuning those skills they have
learned while members.

Plans for collecting information
on each child depend solely on the
permission of each parent. Each
child can be finger-printed, weigh
ed and measured and this informa
tion could be used by a parent if
the child were missing or identify
ing information were needed.
Project helper Stephanie McFa
dyen emphasized that the only
copy of the fact sheets would be
returned to parents for their use.
This is not a school project, but
is a service to parents who give
their permission for volunteers to
collect data on their children.
