These 1940s home movies show Tucson Arizona and environs.  The movie was shot during a 4-H youth organization convention.  At the 1 minute mark you will see the San Xavier del Bac mission, with the 4H'rs arriving by bus from the University of Arizona.  At the 2:45 mark are images of a swimming pool at the University of Arizona, followed by campus scenes.  At the 7 minute mark students are seen giving presentations.

The 4-H name represents four personal development areas of focus for the organization: head, heart, hands, and health. The organization has over 6.5 million members in the United States, from ages 5 to 21, in approximately 90,000 clubs.
