' '4 5 41 LHS D Pi 41 1934 D Senior Class History URING the early fall days of September, 1931, a group of young air enthusiasts made plans for a flight across the sea of education to the land of Higher Learning. They christened their new plane The Good Ship '34 and entrusted it to the care of Wayne Phenicie, pilot, Mary Contner, co-pilotg Melba Kline and Glenn Freed, first and second mechanics. After the schedules were arranged by traffic-managers, Faust and Mc- Millen, they were ready to take off on the first hop of this new adventure. For the first few months the experience was very perplexing to these unestablished newlings, but with the acquaintances each passenger was making the trip became more interesting and valuable. As the plane approached the June airport, the new wing flap caused trouble and Pilot Phenicie made a forced landing. Rapid inspection revealed that the ship would have to remain in the hangar for three months and it was not until the next Sep- tember that The Good Ship '34 was able to take off once more. A change was made in the crew when Glenn Freed was placed at the controlsg Mary Contner, again, as co-pilot g Janet Snook, radio operator, Ray Bagrosky, purser. The flight was resumed and continued without further delays until they met at Kishaco- quillas Terminal with their fellow airmen for a hop in honor of the crew of the Class of '33,' now ready to land. After this event, having become accustomed to the ups and downs of air travel the passengers of The Good Ship '34 were selected to take the route so recently establishedby their pre- decessors. The new class set about reaching altitudes already established for them and were again given leave of absence for a little recreation by Pilot Glenn Freed, a brother of those famous Pilots Lynn and Ned Freed who acquired worthy air records as pilots of their respective ships. Pilot Glenn Freed, had as an assistant, Mary Contner. Melba Kline was selected as chief scribe for his passengers and John Kelso transported the class funds into the safe-keeping of the land station. This journey was fast coming to an end, but the plans in- volved a very successful play entitled Sunny Skies in which all passengers participated during one of the stops made for a replenished supply. A group of the more literary members pub- ished The Lore which may be used as a memoir of this most enjoyable flight. How unfortunate that they should have to make a forced landing and have the passengers transferred to a line varied in method of travel, but owned by the age old corporation Life. One passenger must seek the terminal named Business, while another must seek the plane christened Home, Still another must seek the route which will carry him to Adventure Land. HAPPY LANDINGS AND MAY ALL PASSENGERS HAVE A MOST SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT! Jamt 3110015 ,34 Mary Contner, ,34 Eighteen
