Holt Keenagers met at Nazareth Lutheran Church to celebrate their 46th Anniversary. The group enjoyed a friendly puzzle competition. The following history of puzzle contests was submitted by Sharon Wagner.

More than 400 readers submitted identical solutions listing 2505 words, and the publisher was obliged to pay $5 to each of them, since no provision had been made for ties.
