T HE 31 I If If O If 26 Happy Landings After four long years of basic and advanced training here at the P. H. S. Air Base, the members of this Flight Command have at last received their wings. With the backing of twenty-two hundred do-do’s and the urging-on of the superior officers, one hundred twenty persons have soloed out into the world, some to crack up perhaps, some to be forced down because of mishaps, others to fly high into the sky and on to greater victories. I have had the opportunity of looking into the flight records of many members of this crow. and. after many aptitude. I. Q., R Q. and other tests, I grab a parachute and prepare to bail out as 1 predict these “Happy Landings for them. Through my bombsight I see in Mary Nell Rowe’s daily column in the New York 1'imes that Billy “Frankie” Cole has made five hundred and twelve girls pass out in a dead faint, and has had his clothes torn completely off thirty-one times just from singing that hit song, written by that hit song writer Walton Garrett. A Plastic Doll.’ In another paper, the Chicago News, edited by Nora Ippolito, glancing at Arthur Rice’s column on the s| orts page we see that Robert Johnson has broken all existing records by carrying the pigskin over an average of ten times a game for the Green Bay Packers. In the educational world Mary Elizabeth Johnson has received a Ph.D. from Yale, while Betty Hawkins has just completed another novel. A Tree Grows in Norwood. General Jim Smith and his aid. Private Cecil Smith, have just finished bombing Tokio again in a new plane B-14.5 designed by Charles Wilson. Jack Gore has just received a bundle of joy!! His new “ham license tfor radio operation) has just arrived and he's tickled pink. We see that there is a beauty contest in Atlantic City with many former Phil-lipians participating; namely. Evelyn Campbell. Helen Disney. Doris Hayne. and many, many others. Jack Young and Eldrcd McWhorter have succeeded at last. They have established a beauty shoppe where all the latest hair styles can be had. made by the proprietors’ own fingers. They have some styles similar to their own. Other successful people are: Sam Bennett, the Charles Boyer of the day. has succeeded in Hollywood. His nonchalant sway has attracted attention all over the world. Bill Barton is making millions drawing cartoons, similar to Mickey Mouse, but naturally much, much more animal-like. Scott Ripley has finally put away his bashfulness. He now has a modeling firm that sells nothing but ladies' bathing suits. Betty Williams is teaching speech in the nn st widely known school in the States. She has developed the marvel of the century. A group of boys and girls blending their voices together as one. is her miracle. She calls this a Sqeech Choir. Joe Boyd, and his Ragtime Rhythm, is playing this week in the Hollywood Bowl. Many former Phillipians play in Joe’s keen swing band. Jimmy Ault boats a wicked drum. Billy Dailey slides a mean trombone, and Hugh Morrow also plays in the band. The instrument is not mentioned. Knowing Hugh, he's probably a triple-threat man.
