During the past year we students have watched our brothers, friends and classmates leave to take part in a global war knowing full well that some may never return. Challenged by their patriotism, we have felt a renewed interest in the pursuit of knowledge that we might be as well equipped as possible to do our own part in the struggle when the call to serve our country comes to us. During the past year we have devoted much of our time, our money, and our interest toiactivi- ties new and formerly somewhat foreign to a high school curricu- lum. We purchased defense stamps and bonds, we learned the rudiments of first-aid, we collected scrap, we added new courses of study, and we intensified our program of mental and physical development. These activities we have pic- tured for you in this 1943 Trojan, a story of East High School in a year of war. East students ride in jeep they are helping to buy.

Iust as the pre-flight candidate enters the air school knowing little about planes and leaves there skilled in their use, so we enter school know- ing little about life and leave better prepared to meet its varied exig- encies .... For this preparation we are indebted to those who made life in our training field an interesting and challenging experience . . . the board of education, the administra- tion and the faculty. UH!

Atter :tying been orqanized as independent districts tr more than seventy years, the East and West faterloo school districts were merged under ne board and with one superintendent into ne consolidated system, now the titth largest 1 the state. Last lune 22, the citizens ot Waterloo voted J unite the two systems, and board members fere chosen. if 'A' if 'lr if 'lr This year's members elected from both East and West Waterloo included William A. De- wees, A. D. Donnell, W'illard Lohnes, Charles Mcliinstry, W. A. Priebe, C. W. Shirey, Phillips Taylor, and F. A. LaBarre, treasurer. The Waterloo board, which meets in the board room at East l-liah, elected Charles Mc- Kinstry, presidentg E. I. Miller, secretaryg and Mrs. Adah K. Train, assistant secretary. During the year the new board has begun the task ot overcoming the inherent ditterences which so lona have kept East and West apart. Chief of Staff Takes New Role Elected superintendent of schools for the newly combined East-West school systems at the first meeting of the board of education last Iuly, lack M. Logan has met the difficulties of consolida- tion with an impartiality and fairness which has won the respect of all. This year has been a particularly busy one for the superintendent's office. Augmenting the responsibilities of the new position has been the demand for Mr. Logan's attention to teacher replacements due to the effect of the War emer- gency in enrolling faculty members in the armed services. Among his other duties, Mr. Logan has been a member of the West selective service board. Believing that students learn the fundamental concepts of democracy through practicing dem- ocratic living in their school life, Mr. Logan has been vitally interested in making possible the development of a purposeful activities program throughout the Waterloo schools. Through his inspiration and guidance he has stimulated the faculty to sense the possibilities inherent in their fields and has encouraged them to initiate whatever procedures they con- sidered significant for the realization of their ideals. Prominent in civic and educational circles, Superintendent Logan plays an important role in the training program for tomorrow's citizenry. l l X l xt Superintendent lack M.

Ca- s do this that they may as nearly as possible JW what the real situation will be when they ne up against it. While high school is the training ground young men and young women who are soon enter the real game, it must be not only train- but living tor the high school age group. The high school student must learn to work h his body and with his mind. The students st Work with real situations f situations that they will meet a little later on When they have less guidance than they have now. They must also develop in their work and play the char- acters which will carry them through lite after high school. Guided by this philosophy, Principal Charles L. l-lottman has shown a deep interest in curri- cular and extracurricular activities at East High. l-le has spent much of his time in meeting with various organizations and in analyzing students' problems with a view to orienting youth in a world at war. Through Mr. l-lottman's foresight and perspi- cacity East High has come through this year ot testings with intrepid morale. FLORENCE BLACK.

The homerooms have been selling stamps and bonds and collecting scrap. Train- ing in aeronautics or the fundamental principles of aviation was introduced to create better basic training for pilots, mechanics, and navigators. The homemaking classes have endeavored to adapt girls to the changes due to rationing and other wartime conditions, and the social science department showed government war films and frequently discussed current events. The work of the commercial division has been speeded up, and the branches oi physics and chemistry applicable to the war have been emphasized. Physical conditioning was carried out in the physical education classes by calis- thenics and competitive games.

This program began with the adminis- tering of the Iowa Achievement and Iowa Silent Reading Tests. The Otis Quick-Scoring Mental Ability Test administered in March set an LO. ik 'A' 'A' ir 'A' if rating for each student which served as a future guide in teaching. The last of the tests was the Stanford Arithmetic Test necessitated by the demand for a fundamental background in mathe- matics of student graduates going into wartime jobs.

By the time we are juniors we have gained confidence in the significance of our contribution to the school community. As seniors in a world at war we have applied ourselves assiduously to the task of developing skills with which to serve ourselves and others and philosophy with which to meet the present and the future.

During the homeroom period, Miss Lillian iloW's group in the library has been discussing tizenship and related subjects. Leading these discussions first semester were Audrey Rath- bun, council representativeg Wilma Smith, alter- nate, and Kathryn Shadle, Orange and Black representative, while group leaders second semester were Wilma Smith, elected to the council by the group, Bill Salmon, alternate, and Pat Perry, intramural chairman.

This room was the scene of many a hard- fought verbal controversy over the Iunior-Senior Prom and the other activities of the junior class. ...Page 23 Advaii oed Pilots ss Thorne's homeroom, formerly supervised Edwin Clark, presents an excellent example the tendency of informality to induce cooper- on and friendship. The atmosphere of the homemalcing apart- ent gave this informal air to frequent discus- wns and quizzes on the war, radio programs, d other topics of general interest. This room, represented in most of East's ganizations, was successful in everything that ook up. Gerald Holmes and Dick Kascht were coun- representatives and Don Hurlhert was bond drive chairman. George Hutchison took over his homeroom upon Leland Dolan's induction into the army in lanuary. Participating in many activities, this home- room was very prominent in the intramural pro- grams and the bond drive. Leisure time was expended in discussions, mainly on current events. Homeroom officers were Phyliss Miller, pres- identy Paul Miner, vice-president: Russell Mur- ray, secretaryg Verda O'Rourke and Prank Metcalf, council representatives. Fmsr Row: L. Jacobs, V.

V l l Page 41 Communications Ciier 'A' 'A' i' 'lr 'k i' Today, more than ever betore, patriotic Ameri- cans must have the ability to express themselves ettectively and to interpret what they read discriminatingly and intelligently. Developing these abilities in East High students has been one ot the aims ot the English department. ln tenth and eleventh grades the English course gives the students a broad reading back- ground and opportunities tor creative as well as expository writing. Those interested in publica- tions may take a journalism course, While voca- tional printing students enroll in vocational English. Upon reaching tweltth grade, the stu- dents are given their choice among specialized courses. College preparatory, oral English, and literature and lite are ottered. ln answer to the request ot the Council ot Civilian Deiense, English students, directed by Miss lean Sloan, drarnatized The Burning ot the Books, to publicize the Second War Loan Drive. lt was presented to various Waterloo organizations. An innovation this year was the series ot radio programs sponsored by KXEL tor the Waterloo schools. Written and presented by the students, these shows reflected the school activ- ities .in which students were participating.

These journalists were admitted after meet- ing the rigid requirements of Quill and Scroll. These include accumulating lUO inches ot copy published in the Orange and Black, present- ing proot of scholastic standing in the upper third of their class, receiving recommendation ot Miss Marguerite Blough, staff advisor, and the approval of the national executive secretary. This international society was organized on April lU, l926, at the University ot Iowa. East High journalists formed a division in the tall ot that same year.

This subject provided interesting research for he logicteers because of its limitless possibil- ties. When Leland Dolan, debate coach, was irafted early in the season, his duties were aken over by Miss lean Sloan. The debaters ended one of the best seasons n East High's history by placing iifth in the state finals at lowa City, tying for third on the oasis of debates lost and won. The affirmative ieam successfully met and defeated East Sioux City, who took second place honors in the state. East's team was composed of George Foutas :md Roger Olesen, affirmative, and Mac Reed and Alan Cunningham, negative. Roger Olesen received an excellent rating. The Class B team rated second in the invitational tournament at West High. Roger if i i' ir 'A' ir Olesen received a ribbon for being the best boy debater in the Class B division. George Fou- fas and Alan Cunningham tied for second place honors. The debaters also entered the Cedar Falls Brindley scholarship tournament. Here the logic- teers won seven out of their ten debates. The following week they journeyed to Cedar Rapids where the debaters were awarded an excellent rating in the Coe College tournament. Mac Reed and George Foufas received high ratings. Upon returning, the logicteers became hosts to the district meet. Ranking third, they gained the privilege of entering the state tournament. lnterpretive reading entrants in the state contest at Iowa City were Bob Williams and Anne Reed, directed by Miss Dorothy Rambo.

In four acts, the I. M. Barrie play climaxed the high school stage careers of twenty seniors. The production centered around the changes wrought by environment upon characters of two distinct classes created by society in old Eng- land. The true worth of these characters is exhibited when they are shipwrecked while at sea and cast upon an uninhabited island. Upon rescue, the party returned to England where their trend ot thinking and social position reverted back to the state existing at the open- ing of the play. Iim Patterson portrayed Crichton, the devoted butler, whose potentialities were curbed by his social position in England but proved his worth over the nobility when cast ashore on an island Where only the laws of nature prevailed. the Spotlight 'k it i' 'A' 'A' ir Lord Loam, with all his London airs, char- acterized by Ronald Manley, played opposite his admirable butler. Mary, Catherine, and Agatha, delicate daughters ot the English lord, were enacted by Leona Neubauer, Pat Binghan, and Virginia Haffa.

Personality, an individual reflection such as aracter, conduct, and appearance, is the main :tor, but this is not the only thing that makes T a person's character. An ability to under- rnd readily the problems of others and oi ir 'A' other nations, makes a person accepted and respected. Community planning, race problems, crime, leisure, and World peace are a feW of the other topics studied and discussed in sociology classes. During the semester, one six Weeks is spent in studying sociology, one in studying econo- mics, and one in government. Variety is pro- vided for the students by having three teachers in one semester. This course is given the ap- propriate title of American Trends. The monetary phase of the social order is studied in the economics classes. Various con- sumer problems such as the monetary system, banking, and the organization of industry are discussed. Reference books, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings are the materials regularly used for the study of economics. This is a prac- tical course, useful to the average consumer. ludging the Future by the Past World history, in which all tenth grade students enroll, is taught by Miss Marjorie Laubscher and George Hutchison. This course deals with problems oi the modern World as well as those of the past. The place of religion, the contribu- tions of science and mathematics, and the de- velopment oi law and government are covered. The objective of this course is to develop the ability in the pupils to see the World oi today as the product of the past and to understand and use this information in the modern prob- lerns. United States history is a course tor eleventh grade pupils and is taught by Miss Leola Strope, Miss Viola Knoche, Leonard Raitensperger, and Mark Flanders. This course is the study of the history oi the United States and its government. It gives the pupils an adequate factual back- ground of their government, tracing the derno- cratic idealisrns from their incipiency. Bible classes strive to create better relation- ships in the contemporary world. By studying the books of the Bible in consecutive order, students obtain a comprehensive historical background, which, Miss Strope believes, aids them in meeting everyday problems. UPPER RIGHT: L.

First is a period of class instruction taught ' Miss Carrie Hansen. The course is divided io two general fields. One is stenographic id the other, general office.

Another type of experience is obtained through work in the commercial office, at all times supervised by students. Here the novice can discover what type of Work interests him most and for what he is best fitted. Students preparing for jobs as stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, receptionists, calculator operators, and general office workers can gain the back- ground needed for these fields. Besides this work, many commercial stu- dents hold part-time jobs.

As Coming Yeomen federal jobs, East's commercial department has had an opportunity to make a distinct contribu- tion to the War emergency. The commercial department, with Miss Car- rie Hansen, Miss Ianet Little, Ralph Le Moine, and August Lukes as instructors, aims to pre pare students to take their places in the iield oi commerce and to provide a broad background oi consumer knowledge vital to the average American. Specialized commercial courses include gen- eral clerical and stenographic divisions. Two semesters oi typing, bookkeeping, otiice prac- tice, and one ot business arithmetic are included in the first. The second division is the steno- graphic, consisting oi one semester ot business arithmetic, two of typing, at least one oi oitice practice, and the complete shorthand course. For this division the student must have at least a B average in English and be good at spelling. High ranking students are being requested to till positions not only in Waterloo but through- out the United States. Examinations tor govern- ment jobs were given in early April. Many openings occur tor calculator operators, recep- tionists, bookkeepers, general oliice workers, and stenographers, fields in which East otiers training. The placement bureau, under the direction oi Miss Hansen, has iilled more than 600 re- quests ior student workers. The goal ot this department is to develop the students' confi- dence, sense oi accuracy, and versatility, and thus to Widen the fields oi opportunity for them. Future hookkeepers work on ledgers to become tami- liar with the correct methods of recording accounts. ...Page 55 'Girls Learn Group Recreation ie to the war, a greater emphasis has been Iced on buoyant health and vigorous exercise that students may meet their daily tasks .ysically equipped ior any emergencies.

Early in the seasonfs practices the fact that r first game would be started by a practically -green team was a painful reality. Returning the lineup were lack Allen and W-ayne Mar- , but even this proved to be very little consof ion when balanced against nine novices in 2 starting lineup. With this forboding in mind, East's staff of i' -lr ir ir 'A' 'A' coaches found the prospect of moulding a win- ning team from the material at hand an almost impossible feat. But with their dogged patience and characteristic skill they proceeded to ham- mer into shape a Trojan eleven Worthy of the name. The first game of the season was played against Wilson of Cedar Rapids in a torrential rain, but in spite of a Wet field, Wet ball, and the generally dampened spirits of the spectators, East's Eleven Squadron fought with unforseen viciousness to the last gun to make an excitingly close O-7 contest. 'k i' 'k 'k 'k il' With this brief seasoning up behind them, the Trojans took two in quick succession from Roosevelt, Cedar Rapids, 22-18, and from Du- buque, 13-6. This all too short winning streak was broken when, pitted against a fast, decep- tive East Des Moines outfit, East was downed 6-13 in what was perhaps the closest game of the season, with the ball on the Des Moines one foot line at the closing gun. The Eastonians, seeking vengeance, tram- pled a strong Fort Dodge team, 22-6. Having shown a magnificent spirit and abil- ity for so inexperienced a troupe, East was slated to encounter an undefeated and unscored on Mason City power house, and though downed 'A' 'A' 'k 'A' 'A' 'k 6-32, the boys not only scored upon, but seri- ously threatened the Mason City title. Again seeking blood, East Waterloo downed North Des Moines 19-13 in the homecoming event and soon after tackled and tripped an undefeated Central high of La Crosse, 14-6. A good record behind them and with a seasoned team as a spearhead, East's eleven was picked to tilt their friends from West in the final game of the season. With true East High. spirit the Trojans dominated the first half, 7-O. The second half was an even pull, but relaxing briefly, they allowed West to slip over twice, converting both times, to make the final score a 7-14 upset.

Baskeieers Flash Their Shots e Trojan cagers started the l943 season by teating two Des Moines teams and Dunkerton. e lanky Fort Dodge five gave East its first set and the varsity second team lost to a tall, it breaking Creneseo team. Two losses in one night took some fight out the boys. As a result, they lost to West zrterloo, Mason City, Cedar Falls, and East Des Moines, but stopped the Rough Riders m Roosevelt of Des Moines. The last two games, East and Roosevelt of s Moines, were played on consecutive nights d were preceeded by reserve games. These ys came through with the style of champions beat both Dike and Orange in two thrilling itests. The next week the regulars made up for an rlier loss and downed Cedar Falls. The week er that the locals journeyed to Eort Dodge, d this time the Dodgers came out on the short :l of the score. The Mason City squad again Jved too much for the Trojans and East lost, t went down fighting. Coach Raffenspergers forceful but effective methods provided the needed spirit, and Roose- velt of Des Moines and Hudson fell before the speedy Trojan attack. The second meeting of the traditional rivals proved costly for East, as 'West managed to get a few extra points just before the game ended. Nevertheless, the Orange and Black squad went to the district tournament and outplayed Sacred Heart of Vifaterloo and Teachers High of Cedar Falls. The final game of the district brought East and West together for the third time, and the fast-breaking Qld Rose again stopped the Trojan advance. This was the last game for East. The l943 season was a little better than aver- age. The squad was rather inexperienced and the loss of Steve Zegarac at mid-year further hindered the team. Ed Foley, a transfer from Delmar, helped considerably in making up for the loss of Zegarac. East High had a tough schedule this year and all these teams had at least one high scorer, Mason City there? . . . . . .

Captain Curly Hultman, running the 880, has come in first every time except for one second at Grinnell. Up to that time he had been undefeated in the one mile run. Of next importance comes the mile relay team composed of Leo Iohnson, Clifford Frye, Elmer Hemsath or Bill Lynn, and Curly Hult- man respectively. They have captured many firsts and seconds. Also several iirsts and sec- onds were scored in the l00 yard dash and broad jump by Daniel Starr. The team competed in the meet at Grinnell, the triangular with West and Dubuque: the dual with Uptown Cedar Falls: two duals with West: the Drake Relays: the Mississippi Valley Indoor: the Big Seven at Des Moines: the District: and the State meets. With the track team meeting immediately after school, much Work has been done in de- veloping physical fitness. Under the direction of Coach Gormley, the group of about 30 worked vigorously on building a sturdy body and strong muscles, yet never forgetting coordination. To accomplish this they have practiced and com- peted in football throw, shot put, discus, high jump, broad jump, 100 yard dash, 220 and 440 dash, 880 and mile run, mile relay, 440 and 880 relay, 220 low hurdles, and 120 high hurdles. With a good season this year and only a few members of the team leaving, there are great promises for a strong track team next year. . . . Page 63 UPPER: G. Brown, F. Hurlbut, E. Mullen, D.

These boys, in spite of being sophomores, not only showed their own spirit and ability, but exemplified what East Waterloo can 'do under trying conditions. The East defensive play throughout the sea- son was marked with fielding gems. lack len- nings at short came up with countless hard hit balls as did Lippert at third.

Many of the meetings followed the plan of first semester homemaking. To illustrate a suc- cessful party, exemplary meals, center pieces, and types of entertainment were planned and displayed. One activity was writing to some of the boys in the service, telling them of the latest happen- ings of their Alma Mater. Some sent boxes of goodies to help cheer them and to give them a taste of home cooking. The officers for first semester were Lorraine Dille, presidentg Evelyn Miller, vice president: Elaine Paras, secretaryp and Helen Nesbit, treasurer. Red Cross work was carried on more exten- sively as knitting needles clicked, scissors cut out quilt blocks, and paste fastened pictures in 'A' 'A' 'k scrapbooks. This work progressed under the second se- mester officers with Virginia Bellis, presidentg Laurale Van Fleet, vice presidentg Ruth Math- ews, secretaryg and Betty Lindberg, treasurer. ln first semester homemaking dress and grooming, food and its effect on health, and steps in the development of a pleasing person- ality are studied. Last fall, in keeping with tradition, the home- making classes sponsored the homecoming tea under the supervision of Miss Grafa Thorne, advisor. Home furnishing, the family and its relation- ship, child care, money management, and choosing a vocation are studied in second se- mester.

Some if these social affairs were two ioint East-Vtfest neetings, a dance at Hartman Reserve, numer- ous pot lucks, with the big event being a Mother's Recognition banquet in May. The physical fitness phase was carried out through the use of the Y. M. C. A. gym and swimming pool once a month and by using East's gym several times. Many discussions on moral and spiritual factors, with emphasis on sportsmanship, were held at the regular meet- ings. Several talks on these subjects were given by Dick Lingard.

Staged two nights, February ll and 12, the show drew favorable comment from its 2,700 spectators. America in Rhythm depicted the develop- ment of American music from the folk tunes in- cluding Indian dances, Negro spirituals, and the Southern rhythms through the jive era.

As the title suggests, this act was composed of the more popular songs of such composers as George Gershwin and Ierome Kern. After an extensive poll, East High's Hit Parade was de- termined. These songs were included in the fourth act called the Hit Parade. Concluding America in Rhythm was a patriotic finale, This ls America. Between each scene specialty numbers cre- ated diversion while the scenery was being changed. Under the rhythmic baton of Evan Hultman, the swing band gave a musical background for the cast of nearly four hundred students. Ieanne Lawless, Shirley Kelvington, and Russell Millette taught the dances, most of which were original creations. The swing show had effective costumes, al- though many ot the costumes were redesigned from those of other years. General directors were Miss Dorothy Rambo, Mrs. Ramon Tiedens, and Herbert Goodwin. Assisting them on the various acts were many other faculty members. The business manager was Iames Patterson. A student planning committee composed of Evan Hultman, Mac Reed, Rowena Garrett, Wil- lard Roth, Ieanne Lawless, Gloria Stiffler, Nick N etty, Russell Millette, lim DuBois, Bob Williams, and Anne Reed developed the thematic idea of the show. . . .

The orchestra appeared in the annual home- coming concert, provided special music tor the all-school play, Pride and Prejudice, prepared a program tor a student auditorium, and pre- sented rhe spring concert during Music Week. A' 'A' 'A' 'A' A A Christmas carols were played as a prelude to The Nativity and appropriate music was provided tor the junior play and the senior play. To acquaint potential musicians with orches- trations, members demonstrated instruments to students ot the elementary schools. Members of East High's honor group of strings, Dal Segno, appeared in solo and small group numbers tor Waterloo civic organizations, aftorded music for the Easter Sunrise Service, and presented a radio program celebrating Mu- sic Week.

Top ranking among lse was the A a cappella choir under the ection ot Mrs. Baymon Tiedens, who took the Ice ot Donald Baum upon his induction into 1 army. To gain entrance into the A choir a student ist have a pleasing voice, ability to read music ill, an accurate sense ot pitch, good character, d commendable conduct. Talent is selected m the smaller choirs and the elementary Vo- l choruses and glee clubs. The outstanding activities ot the year in tich the AH a cappella choir participated are the homecoming concert and the Nativ- A swing choir was selected trom the choir to add vocal background to the annual swing show, and the entire choir broadcast twice from the Grace Methodist Church. Highlighting the year was the Vocal Music Clinic, May 4 and 5, in which the entire vocal department participated. Paul S. Bay, head ot the music department ot Coe College, conducted the clinic. A brilliant concert was given May 4 with Mr. Bay as guest conductor tor one of the groups presented by the choir. The choir opened this spring concert with God is a Spirit by Kopylov and the tamous Childrens Prayer by l-lumperdinck. ln a lighter vein they pre- sented spirituals tor a second group. Climaxing the program was Glorious Forever by Bach- maninoit and Hallelujah Chorus from Han- del's Messiah ST BOW: M. Boherts, I, Taber, V. Haifa, T. Fambro, V. Bopp, C. Boesen, D, Starr, G.

Because ot their unusual progress, the Ori- oles sang with A choir at their Homecoming Concert in October, the spring concert in May, and tor Lenten Service at Grace Methodist Church on April first. A l 'lr 'A' 'k 'A' 'A' i' 'A' ln all three choirs, Mrs. Rayman Tiedens systematically used the time and divided the period into ten minute breathing exercises and vocal drill, ten minutes to develop sight reading ability, and the rest of the period to general singing from the risers. ln both B choir and Orioles, considered preparatory for the advanced A choir, the students worked diligently to be chosen to fill the vacancies created in A choir by grad- uating seniors. l .

Page 77 re Flight Training 'A' 'lr -A' ir i 'k For the tuture scientists East High offers both chemistry and physics. ln physics the course this year was outlined to be ot most value to the boys entering the services. According to Mark Flanders, instructor, greater stress was put on solving the problems involved in sound, light, and heat than ever loeiore. Cther interest- ing topics were simple machines, magnets, and electricity. Several times during the year students who wandered to the vicinity ot the chemistry lab were greeted by the smell ot rotten eggs. They soon discovered it was only the chemistry stu- dents studying hydrogen suliide. A complete study was made ot the properties ot solids, liquids, and gases under the supervision ol August Lukes, who took over the work when Lloyd Ritland was inducted into the army. The biology course, under Miss Velma Cider, endeavored to show the liie cycles ot plants, animals, and man. Such general topics as food getting, food making, protection, health, hered- ity, reproduction, and conservation when taken together gave the students a clearer picture ot all lite, its problems, and the Ways ot over- coming them.

LOWER: Biology class examines interesting specimens as a part ot their daily activity. in Science l .abs i' 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A' Mechanized warfare and war production indus- tries have given new impetus to the study of mathematics in high school. This counteracts the nationwide tendency during recent years for students to evade mathematics. Mathematics, consisting of plane and solid geometry and advanced algebra, is taught by William Waters. The senior boys who took the Navy V-12 examinations on April 2 in which a knowledge of mathematics was essential, found that the background they had acquired at East was significant. Aeronautics, taught by Lloyd Ritland and later by George Leebl, was added to East High's curriculum this fall because of popular interest clue to the war and because of the need of pre- induction training for boys. At present a one semester course, it will be expanded to two next year. A senior subject, its requirements are physics and two years of mathematics. Consisting of six major phases, it first deals with the history, structure, and uses of parts of aircraft and with aviation rules and regulations. It then explains the action of air upon aircraft in flight and the construction and mechanical principles involved in the operation of aircraft engines. The concluding unit covers the relation of weather conditions to aviation, the method of planning the course of flight, and communica- tion between aircraft and ground stations. Upon completion of this course, students Should be able to pass the civil aeronautics Qround school examinations for private licenses. UPPER: I. Patterson, B. Lynn, D. Wyborny, and R. King study models in an attempt to clarify geometry problems. CENTER: L, Ritland discourses to aeronautics student R. Williams on the mysteries of aerodynamics. LOWER: L.
