14 Dow Cihg Alumni Annual Weston, Neb., May 7, 1929. Dear Alumnl Members: When I received Mr. Walters' request that I write to the annual I wondered what I could say that would be of any interest to others. I do wlsh to eictend my congratulations to the Class of '29. 'llhougfhts of their Commencement bring back the memory of my own eight years ago. How slowly time seemed to drag by when were tempted away from the class room. Now we find the duties of home and family involved upon us and we wonder w'here the time has gone. We are located about fifty miles west of Omaha ln a very beautiful part of the state. Our highways are good and we have a wonderful trip back to Iowa. The school here ls rather small but there are stlll the numerous school activities. The basket ball team played some good games and last fall the high school gave the operetta Polished Pebbles. I wonder how many of my classmates and others remember the hours of practice we put on lt bask home. Yes, it stlll seems home to a certain ex- tent even though we do build our homes in different parts of the country. We are going to spend this summer ln Iowa and both Cecll and I are looking forward to attending the banquet and renewing friendslhlps that were established during our school days. Slncerely,.

Ft. Dodge, Iowa. May 9, 1929. Dear Alumni of D. C. H. S.: Another commencement time is drawing near, and no doubt all other alumni as well as myself, have been looking forward to receiving the 1929 Alumni Annual. Upon receipt of a letter from the Editor-in4Chief this week, I was thrilled by the thought that our annuals were ready for us, and that the letter must be a reminder to please re- mit. Upon investigating, however, I found instead, a request for a contribution to its pages. This finds me rather at a loss to know what to write. If I lived in the far west, or in the east, or some other remote section of the country, as do some of our alumni I might tell you of the delight- ful climate of California, the great industries of the east. But located as I am within ninety miles of the home town, with conditions, atmospheric and otherwise, much the same here as there, I fear. there is little of interest to write. However, I will say for myself, and I believe, for all other aluml living at a distance, that we en- joy the annual and appreciate the tireless efforts of those at home in keeping up this good work. For some of us it is the only time that we hear from many of our old school friends. It is with great interest that we read of the success of those who have gone-out from our Alma Mater into fields of service, be the calling great or small. It is 'gratifying indeed to see how the list of alumni grows-over three hundred now, I believe. and to find so many sons and daughters of early graduates among the number. Ft. Dodge has been our home now for eighteen years. We have always found it a pleasant place in which to live, and while it is not a large city- about 27,000 inhabitants-it is one of the fines-t of its size anywhere. We have a fine system of public schools, also a two year Junior College, which is fully accredited. This year we will graduate ten students from the college, and one hundred seventy from high school. The leading lndustry of Fort Dodge is the man- ufacture of gypsum products. such as plaster, plas- ter board, fi-re proof partition blocks, etc. Large deposits of gypsum rock are found here, and there are fine large mills engaged in its manufactu-re. Fort Dodge has been known as the Gypsum City as it is the largest producer of gypsum products in the world. ' Situated on the Des Moines River, there are many scenic spots and delightful drives in and near Fort Dodge. To tae south is the beautiful Dolllve-r Memorial Park, named for the late Senator J. P. Dolliver. Here are found deep ravines, lime stone and ciopperas beds, Woodman's Hollow, Bone- yard I-lollow , and the picturesque Prai-rie Creek. Not far from here is Wild Cat Cave. If any of you are planning a short motor trip this summer, we invite you to come to Fort Dodge. With greetings to you all, and good wishes for our Alma Mater. . Sincerely Yours. Ada Hallowell Rule '99. Dow Citq Alumni Annual 43 Clark, S. D., May 1st, 1929 Dear Alumni: If I didn't enjoy the Annual so much every year. I'n1 afraid I Would' object 'to writing this letter, as Mr. Walters requested, but lt ls so nice for 'the older members to be able to receive an annual and keep track of their classes as they soon drift so far apart. So I believe we should do our bit to help those that have the responsibility of printing the annual. We live in Dakota on a 480-acre farm, and it keeps us very busy but we farm much bigger farms here than they do there. We have prospects for a very good crop this year, if we have plenty of rain and sunshine. We are all well and happy, we have the nicest size family, two boys and two girls and of course we think they are some of Dakota's best kiddies. This country is very pretty. very level and lots of trees, lakes everything a person could wish for to have a nice home. This country is changing as every land changes. They do not raise as much small grain now, they are growing more corn and diversifying their farming. M-ost every farmer owns a tractor as the land is so level they can use them with such good advantage. In the fall we have thirtylone days of sport for the men, hunting pheasants wealthy men from many cities come to this country to spend their vacation. hunting, fishingand bathing They are killing off so many pheasants that they will be more strict with their laws. Wexget many fish, in the spring but we don't cane for them later in the season. We have one lake called Medicine Dake, it is peculiar, many people go there to bathe, for skin diseases they believe it heals 'many diseases it ha so many different minerals that vegetation will not grow around it. Your body has a white subsance all over lt after bathing. There are several alumni peoplehere around Clark, Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. Charles McHenry, Hudson McHenry Joe and myself. We all live within ten miles of each other and there are so many people here that we have heard of from down there, that we could have,a real Iowa celebration some time. ' The Black Hills is a beautiful place. Sometime when you plan a trip, you just take the trail to the Black Hills and I know you will think it worth while. We were there three years ago and such nice scenery. I never imagined it so pretty and when you get that far just go east awhile until you come to a sign Clark then call Joe Smlth's resl- dence and see what a welcome you will get as we are always more than glad to see anybody from home. Well in closing I don't think this letter is worth printing but if you have extra space you can fill ln with it. We are both planning on coming home for' the alumni banquet and are hoping to see a big crowd. I do hope the biggest banquet we have ever had. Yours Sincerely, Mrs. Joseph R. Smith.
