The Texas District sign is prominent in the left side of the photo. Convention Program; song "Aim for Ames, Ye Leaguers"; 5 pre-convention letters, one of which explains the transportation by train and that cost. Five newsletters titled "The Timekeeper" from the convention, No. 1-6 but No. 4 missing. Two objects: Norma E.
