Early in the lall the picturesque landscape seen from Diclcenson Stadium was slcetched in pencil by cold-numbed Fingers. Later models sprawled on desl4s in color-splashed outfits while brushes Flewf dragging rich tones over the manilla paper until many paintings echoed the movement ol the Figures.

The fragile little biplane which the two bicycle-malcers from Dayton flew over the North Carolina sands has grown to be the present-day's awesome, alloy-skinned slcy giant.
