This is an uneven compendium of items collected by students in a folklore class. About half the text is devoted to oral traditions concerning folk medicine and cures. There are also two versions of a ghost story, instructions for weaving hair watch chains and making hair flowers, and three stories concerning Mormon-Indian relationships.
