One of the scrapbooks contains photographs and other items reflecting Lowe's student experience at Oregon Agricultural College.

The photograph and class list document Lowe's attendance of a fifty year reunion of the OAC Class of 1924. The correspondence concerns the subject of Lowe's passing in 1989.  There is also a photocopy of Lowe's diploma from OAC.
