Three Loftus brothers from Tomahawk, Wisconsin — Art, Jule and Ted — enrolled at the Alaska Agricultural School and College of Mines in 1922, the first year of classes. Unlike most other students who found lodging in ������̳ five miles to the east, the brothers filed for homesteads and built a 20-by-22-foot cabin in the flats south of the campus. With the two McCombe brothers, they made up the university’s “full house” basketball team.

Ted married Audrey Stanfield of ������̳ in 1927. He graduated with mining degrees in 1927 and 1928 and had a long career with ������̳ Exploration Co., which operated massive gold dredges in the ������̳ area.

Audrey, who graduated in 1949, became the alumni association director in 1956.
