More details will be given later. We are expecting several classes from the school to visit the library before the closing of school, at which time we will explain the program. Another summer feature which will include adults as well as children, will be the travel tree, which has always been enjoyed by many patrons. More people are traveling, more children are going to camps, and there are more places of interest to visit than in the past. So,, we invite young and old alike to remember the library when they take a trip (long or short) and ask them to send a card, which will be placed on the tree. It has always been interesting to see how many [daces are visited by our patrons.

The Kentucky Derby is over and gone for another year but the 1973 Derby is not only a part of the record but a part of horse racing history. Two horses broke the record, the fans poured three million bucks on one race and the crowd was the biggest. No matter how you picked the race this is the most exciting two minutes in sports. You cannot appreciate the excitement from TV. The tension builds for weeks, then days, then hours and finally comes the minute. This break between the spring football game and the summer analysis of the 1973 prospect is expensive. Secretariat is the greatest — at least for now. He was sold for six million and ran that way. He beat a very very fine horse in Sham who would be all the talk if Secretariat had not been born or had been hurt. My Gallant was all of that — he was Gallant enough to let a whole flock of horses run in front of him. Forego was fourth which pays money to the owner but not to me who had him to run third. I was constat. I picked second place finishers to win and lost the photo. The trip was worth it. If you ever get a chance see the derby. Back to football, it is now countdown to the Illinois game. Lee Corso has a chance to make I.U. football a team to be respected year in and year out. He starts with something — which is more than most of his predecessors — and his personality and organizational ability plus hard hard work that it will take. He motivates the boys with his enthusiasm and beliefs. He has recruited well, and is still out there working. His Junior Collegians will help us and I positively state — we will be
