DEDICATION Four year ago. a we hejan our flight training with uncertain and faltering tep . we were greeted Hv a kind and capable instructor. We will never l»e able to determine tbe extent of our debt to Mi Hickman, for bow can we measure year of untiring and unselfish service? Witb a firm band she bas ably guided us tbrougb tbe troubled skies of our studies Whenever we bad reason to u»e tbe library, we saw Miss Hickman presiding witb a self-effacing modesty over her domain of literature. By her unceasing efforts and dynamic energy, she bas created a modern and efficiently manager! library. Every air-cadet enter it witb confidence; be knows be will find tbe object of bis search, whether it l e a book, or merely some assistance in tbe performance of a difficult assignment. Tbe vibrant personality of our flight instructor bas made it tbe most pleasant spot on tbe entire training field. But Miss I lit kman’s interests have not been confined only to tbe tomes which she knows and understands so well. She is an inveterate traveller; her charm and cos mopolitan savoire faire have won her friends in many distant parts of tbe world Todav. however, when war makes travel impossible, she maintains a correspond ence with many Americans abroad who. unfortunately, did not go as tourists. Her letters are awaited with eager anticipation, for they remind tbe soldier of tbe home and friends be left behind. And so. as we follow in tbe wake of tbe air-cadets who have already completed tbe training for tbe long flight tbrougb life, we dedicate ibis volume to Miss Hickman with tbe deepest sense of gratitude and respect. Ye realize it is little to do for one who has helped us so much. But we offer ibis gesture ns proof that we will never forget tbe magnanimous assistance which she freely rendered toward u . and that we will alwavs cherish tbe memorv of her salient personality.
