Each part is durable, engine and tail skid, Fuel tank, control stick, wings, landing gear. Miss Haynes, the pilot, holds the control stick. Propellor substantial does George Fritzler make. Instrument board is Elizabeth Kammerer. Well-filled fuel tank is Lloyd Schooley's stake. The trustworthy rudder is Inez Fries' part. Kenneth Fuller was a stanch rudder bar. Alice Steinfort and Marguerite Hesseltine Make sturdy ailerons of equal par. Ribs of the wings are of great number, Hazel Hunt, George Pabst, and Mildred Johnson, Lucille McNeill, Elsie Peterson. Wayne York, Homer Mote, Ted Pollock, also Ruth Thompson. Hence strength to the wings—poor flying without them. Of longerons, too, the many to name are Pearl Warden. Gladys Winger. Katherine Kress, Byron Holman, Marie Hunt, also Gene Kraemer,

Sophomore History George Fritzler...............................President Miss Alta Haynes. Miss Georgia Haynes Sponsors Kenneth Fuller. Inez Fries - - Vice-President Elizabeth Kammerer ------ Secretary Lloyd Schooley................................Treasurer Actions speak louder than words has often been said. As this was the way we felt when we started high school, instead of doing a great deal of talking, we decided to build an airplane. We decided that all of us should paint our planes the same colors, old rose and gray, as they were all going to belong to the squad of '31. They bore the insignia. “Over the Top. Of all the oils and gasolines to use in airplanes, we found the sweetpea brand to be the best. We had to use many boards in our first year to make up the foundation. Instead of using oak. pine, and walnut, we used algebra boards. English I boards, language boards, and many others. While we were busy working one day, the Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores stole down upon us and smeared green paint all over our faces. Because we had been looking for some- thing of the sort, we weren’t so very much surprised. They stole our working clothes and made us dress as babies. Well, we thought we could go on working in these clothes, but— they took us away and made us parade around before everyone. We had to carry their tools to the airplane factory one morning. They soon grew tired of bothering us; consequently, we decided to relieve the monotony of life. We forgave the Senior. Junior, and Sophomore workmen and invited them to our party on Hallowe’en. We worked hard during the year, trying to find out if “x“ meant a board of our plane or a bolt in our engine and if a paragraph meant a new set of working tools or just a spoke in a wheel. We received a receipt in the form of a pennant from the company, saying we were to be recognized as the squad of '31. Lloyd Schooley. commander-in-chief, gave a short talk of presentation. During our vacation, we forgot about our new planes: but when we came back this year, we were soon at work. Some of us found things rather unsatisfactory. We found our algebra boards so weak that when we placed our geometry boards on them the structure crashed. Some ofcher weak foundation boards caused trouble too. This meant finding better boards and work- ing an extra year or a half. We have many more parts to add to our planes during our remaining two years. We hope that when we have them finished, they will be useful products. We expect to be able to go soaring up into the clouds and keep the pace of other planes. Perhaps some of us will venture into unfamiliar territory, but we shall never forget the place. B. H. S.. where we started to build our planes. Marie Hunt. [ 20 1

Marie Doty. Marie Hunt. Howard Davis. Ivan Danielson. Lon Foote. Howard Boillot, Bill Stover, and Opal Oldemeyer; They form a frame that makes the plane firm. Severt Sorensen and Valiant, the aileron wires. Are very essential to effect a turn. Hank Anderson makes a good elevator: He’s just what they need when they want a tailspin. Vivian Morford is a firm stabilizer. Lisetta Christensen is the fixed fin. For the exhaust pipe there’s Victor Middlemist. Egon and Doyle—each a pneumatic tire. There’s Nelda Baughman, also James Bolinger, And Marie Doty—spark plugs that fire. Then Sleepy Norman, he is the joy stick: Lon Foote, the leading edge; trailing edge, Hersinger; Tachometer, Harness, chronometric type: The much needed pressure gauge, Marion Winger. Arvella Bazer, Kast. Vancil, Danielson, Young, Marble, Davis, and Witter—landing gear; What a terrible landing there’d be without them When the plane comes back from the flight of the year.” fas] Vivian P. Hubbard.
