In acknowledging her appreciation of the rare and beautiful book being given to the Dartmouth Library by the Class in memory of Art Ferguson, his widow wrote in parr "Here in Keokuk the YMCA-YWCA Board of Trustees are planning a chapel room in memory of his 30 years of service on the Board. His cousin, Gardner Cowles of New York, and John Cowles, have contributed generously, as well as many friends and other relatives. The project is creating much interest in our little industrial city, where the Y's play such a big part in youth life."

Sam Hobbs added the message that the Alumni Notes and Lyme Anne's News Letters "are great stuff for dwellers in distant places. Hope there will be a big turnout next year, but the 50th looks more likely for me. Incurable optimist!"

Bud Hoban wrote on his card from Honolulu:

Just a line to let you know that we are now on the enchanted isle and it is just that. We "trailed" to El Cajon, Calif., left car and trailer there, trained up the coast to San Francisco and the Top of the Mark. Sailed on November 27 on the Matsonia. Now swimming and sunning in Waikiki. Back on January 3 for a month or six weeks with friends in California, then to Florida for a month or two; back to work after that.

From Puerto Rico comes belated news from Dutch Waterbury that last summer Dutch spent a couple of weeks of ranch life with his son, Holden and family of seven, at a cattle ranch north of Big Timber, Mont. "There I found horseback riding at 66 not too conducive to happiness, especially if a guy is in the saddle ten or twelve hours a day trying to keep up with his six, eight and ten-yearold grandchildren."
