The community which includes the former Gleason, Peak, and Sharp school districts has a long history with 4-H. G. P. S. Happy-Go-Lucky has existed under that name since 1955, but 4-H has been a part of the G.P.S. community since 1935.

Before the Gleason, Peak, and Sharp schools were consilidated into G. P. S., several other early clubs existed that contributed to the energy that became Happy-Go-Lucky.

G.P.S. (Gleason, Peak, and Sharp) School was completed in 1954. Since that time all regular meetings have been held there. At the reorganization meeting held October 17, 1955, the club voted to change the name to "Happy-Go-Lucky."

In the 1955/1956 4-H year there were a total of ten members in H-G-L (Happy-Go-Lucky). In the 2006/2007 4-H year there are 31 members in the club.

Happy-Go-Lucky still meets at the G.P.S. schoolhouse, southeast of Paris and west of Santa Fe in Monroe County, Mo. Meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7pm.

If you wish to visit, please to confirm this time and date is still the case.
