- Description:
- This is a collection of records from the Indian Hills Homeowners Association (IHHA) of Okemos, Michigan. The neighborhood was formerly farmland, and was sold to the Ehinger Realty Company in the late 1920s for creation of a golf course and a subdivision. By 1929 the golf course was complete and lots were ready to be sold for home construction. Because the neighborhood sits near the Red Cedar River, much of the activity documented in these files is to do with beautification and planting efforts. The association took responsiblity for several islands in the river among other things, and raised funds for trees and other landscaping care there and throughout the subdivision. The records consist of meeting minutes and agendas, correspondence, landscape planning and maintenance records, election information, neighborhood directories, two bound volumes of assorted IHHA archives (Vol. 1: 1950-1989; Vol. 2: 1990-2004), and the original metal "Welcome to Indian Hills" plaque from an entrance to the neighborhood. Further materials may be added to this collection by the IHHA as they become available.

- Description:
- Elizabeth Byington describes her suburban Detroit family life and tells how her aspirations have changed between high school and her sophomore year at Michigan State University. Byington says she no longer has an immediate interest in marriage and children and has changed her major to something which she finds more satisfying. Byington also discusses her college experiences, the quality of her professors, career possibilities, and her hopes for the future. Byington says she expects to enjoy her future career and although her peers are much too focused on material things, she does not think that they deserve to be labeled the "me generation".
