OCTOBER 1976 15 Kilowatts, amperes, and volts are familiar terms to Karen Hoheisel, a member of the 101 Go-Getters 4-H Club of Labette County. Karen has carried the electric project for five years and has made many items, from a test light to a stereo sound system. Pictured is Karen with several of the items she has made. This year she made a metal detector which won a purple ribbon at the Labette County Fair. Karen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hoheisel, is enthusiastic about the 4-H electric project, which she promotes as one of the best learning by doing projects.

In the picture, she shows her police and fire-weather converter which she made in the electric program. In her eight years as a 4-H member, Karen has contributed to her club by serving in several offices and by helping younger members. The junior at Oswego High School promotes and lives up to the ideals of the 4-H pledge.
