| 1. | Of Mountains and Molehills (by T. N.) New Mexico -- RECENTLY I attended an AA convention. All in all it was mighty worthwhile. | August 1953 | |
| 2. | Anonymity Is Vital (by Jack D., in "The Arid Pilgrim) Texas -- Two important events lie ahead for Fort Worth Group No. One--the opening of the new clubhouse on West Fifth St. and the 1954 State AA Convention. Doubtless, AA will be much in the public eye of Fort Worth during the twelve-month period that lies ahead. Such being the case, we felt it well to touch upon a subject that perhaps is greatly neglected in AA meetings and coffee table discussions, the subject being none other than anonymity. One of our founders, Bill W., set down in writing some important thinking on this subject back in 1947 when the first booklet was published on AA traditions. Many new members will possibly be attracted to our fellowship because of publicity connected ... | February 1954 | |
| 3. | Were You There, Charlie? (by Bill Mc.) California -- THAT the AA program is basically spiritual one cannot doubt. After at least sufficient sobriety and study of the philosophy, even by those who have had little or no antagonism to the spiritual side of life as they have come through their alcoholism, the depth of thought back of the Twelve Steps is frequently dug out only with great difficulty. | May 1954 | |

It will be an outstanding event, not only for AAs but for their close relatives, too. | May 1955 | |
| 6. | AA Around the World Australia. . . Reports reaching GSH from "down under" tell of a great open meeting in the Sydney Town Hall recently. More than 2500 persons jammed the auditorium while 1500 overflowed into the street outside, where they heard the AA story over loudspeakers. | August 1957 | |
| 7. | The Greatest Gift of All (by Bill W.) THE GREATEST GIFT that can come to anybody is a spiritual awakening. Without doubt this would be the certain verdict of every well-recovered alcoholic in AA's entire fellowship. | December 1957 | |
| 8. | AA Around the World (by Harold H.) JOE R., A SEAMAN aboard the S.S. African Rainbow, wrote in the October Grapevine of meeting up with a "human dynamo" in South Africa--Harold H. These excerpts from, two of Harold's letters to Joe continue the exciting serial story of AA in Africa. | February 1958 | |
| 9. | LONER SPONSORSHIP LAST year was a year of impressive AA progress abroad, measured by the yardstick of many more public meetings and conventions . . . local service committees and offices expanded and strengthened . . .stepped-up requests for permission to reprint AA Publishing literature: MEETINGS | October 1958 | |
