King Tribute A Success This year Blair's B.S.U. showed great ability by presenting a bang- up assembly to an intent audience. The assembly, a memorial tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. has been declared the best assembly of the year and has set a precedent for future memorials. However, this contribution was ironic. The assembly supported by the B.S.U., to make Black aware- ness known to the students did not in the least stop the decreasing membership of the club. Efforts have been made by Mr. Wallace lclub advisorl to motivate the students in hopes to increase inter- est in the club. Good luck to next year's B.S.U.

Aviation Moves Its Tail New this year at Blair, the Aviation Club went flying at Van Nuys Airport in December, then visited the Burbank Approach Con- trol radar room in the Spring. Members had a chance to learn the basic principles of flight and naviga- tion as well as the basic regulations governing private flying. The four- place airplane pictured, belonging to Mr. Joiner, was the first airplane some of the members had ever flown in. On the flight, every member got a chance to take over the controls. This was accomplished by landing at either Santa Monica or a small mountain strip at Agna Dulce to change seats on each flight. Three different flights were made that afternoon to accommodate every- one. After the fight, everyone went up into the Van Nuys control tower, where the shift supervisor was able to take considerable time to answer questions. The Aviation Club got off to a great start this year and is looking forward to next year when they hope to gain new club members and take longer, more extensive trips.

Cartoonists Prove Power Of The Pen The daily newspapers are a veritable gold mine of cartoon art. Political cartoons, comic strips, gag cartoons, and sports and editorial illustrations arouse us, spur us on to action, humor us, and often please the eye. Meeting every other Wed- nesday under the direction of Mr. Jerry Garden, Blair's Cartooning Club practiced one of man's oldest art forms. Members had the chance .a 1. to work on original cartoons, as well as to get inspiration from the political cartoons of Vaughn Shoemaker, Paul Conrad, Bill Maul- din, Karl Hubenthal, and Herblock, and the comic strips of Milton Caniff t Steve Canyon l, Chester Gould t Dick Tracy l, and Hal Foster f Prince Valiant l. Well, back to the drawing board! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllll CLUB OFFICERS President ...................... Lisa Stokes Vice President ........
