'Half G 1' C C IL a 11' rl ITV lz 1' t e lie-- wi Our Principal JUST A SHORT TIME ago a man had a very unusual idea when he discovered that two wings called a glider would sail safely a few hundred feet. The imperfection in the contrivance was soon apparent for the man wished to explore many alluring places where the glider could not go. So an engine was placed in front of the wings and the man Hew where he wished as long as the motor worked. But another imperfection was discovered when one broken part in the single engine hurled the pilot tragically near to eternity, Then the man strengthened his wings, placed three engines in front of the glider, and perfected a plane of great strength and beauty. It rivalled in speed and endurance the verv birds of the air. It soared from one pinnacle of the world to the other, spanned the continent in one hop, and threatened to race the sun across the face of the earth. The man still had visions of lands to explore and this plane could? take him there. Of course the man in this picture represents the combined thoughts of hundreds of our fellowmen searching for scientific principles and converting them into practical usefulness. No blessing which we have today has sprung full-fledged from a single mind, but has taken form little by little through many minds. As we proudly call ourselves Pilots may our ideas be combined and our vision extended in helping to perfect a superior state of mind for exploring the ideals and the heights of the in- tellectual and spiritual world. ln these fields are hidden the golden opportunities of tomorrow, for mentally and spiritually we are still trying to Hy with a glider. -D.
