sARLESS, brave, struggling heroes, span- ning the air trails----over oceans, across burning deserts, high above mountain ranges, through rain and snow---------conquering the forces of nature; such arc the men who have figured in man's successful “Conquest of the Air.” Ever since the Wright Brothers sailed their first motor-driven plane at Kitty-Hawk, man has struggled to conquer the opposition he has faced. This spirit sweeping over the nation today has ushered in an era of progress never to be forgotten in the history of the world. Air mail and transport lines piloted through snow and sleet, through rain or shine, by day and night travel the air paths as man intrepidly pushes back all obstacles in his advance. Symbolic of this spirit of adanccment against opposition, the staff has this year chosen “The Conquest of the Air” as the theme for the 1929 Tokay. With this as the motif, they have endeavored to give in this volume an interesting record of the activities of Lodi Union High School for the year 1928-’29.
