FOR AIRWAYS of the science department: Miss Woessner, in charge of presflight math: and Mr. Burgchardt, head of aircraft engines. This new sequence is ex- ceedingly popular with the fellows, ninety per- cent of whom have a desire to become airmen. The requirements for admission into the course are strict, and those students accepted pursue their studies with a fervor that can be inspired only by ambition. Someday some of these fellows may lead us, thorugh the air, to victory. So we hail them with good luck and happy landings.

Now, more than ever, the demand for capable aircraft mechanics has grown to immense propor- tions. Working ceaselessly to supply this demand is our own Mr. Burgchardt. This year he has been stressing the correct use of the countless numbers of hand tools that are necessary for the maintain- ance and construction of aircraft engines by the use of pictures demonstrating the correct appli- cation of these tools in a manner that is interest- ing and informative. The usage of these tools calls for the very highest degree of skill and absolute precision is required. The many students who are ak ul' at the present time, engaged in this course have expressed positively no regret as to their choice. Another all important shop in the aeronautical course is the aero shop. The man on whose shoulders sets the responsibility of instructing the large group of boys who are eager for training is Mr. Christiansen. The present function of the aero shop is to teach the boys the fundamentals of flight. Physics and mathematics are all used to a very large degree in the construction of wing sections, fuselages, and propellors. This type of training is practical and invaluable to anyone.
