Thank you to all alumni and friends who have generously sent contributions to the AHSAA. All contributions are greatly appreciated.

Memorial donations go entirely into the Memorial Scholarship Fund. ( * = memorial contribution) (Our apologies for any omissions.)

Through the efforts of Class of `51 classmates, Bruce Adams and John Maney, Red Milliken's book, "Once Upon a Time" will soon be available to everyone. Red published only a couple dozen copies of his book for classmates and friends. It is a recount of the undefeated 1950 football season for the Little Cyclones. He also writes at length about growing up in Ames during the forties and living before, during and after World War II. It is a very interesting book with local flavor.

John and Bruce have gone through it page by page and have made a few corrections without significantly altering Red's original work. They have also added many photos to it that really make it a must to read. The next issue of this newsletter should have information on ordering the book.
