'M GEORGE R. SHANKLE, INSTRUCTOR QThird From Leftj BERNARD F. SHMANSKE, once got rich as a machinist apprentice Cas did so many oth- ersb. He hails from Pine Brook, N. J. and is a pretty good ad for his home town QCham- ber of Commerce stuff you understandj. As for his flying we wont go far wrong by say- ing that he has graduated from apprentice to operator.', ROBERT F. SCHLACK, the Cranford, N. J., clerk is one of our sport lovers. His likes rest mainly in athletics of all kinds but on the other hand he has been known to do some flying. He once made his fortune playing with tax collections and dividend checks- that leads to the assumption that he's a swell person to know, monetarily speaking. - V WILLIAM C. KNIGHT, claims Millington, Tenn., as his home town. Bill is a former football player and aircraft engine mechanic. All of which adds up to one conclusion, namely, that no engine is big enough to beat our Bill. For proof ask his civilian employers. HORACE M. KAPLAN, from Macon-brought home the bacon while selling things in Georgia. Then he himself was sold on the idea of flying for the army. FRANK J. LYDEN, made ack-acks in Providence, Rhode Island. He inspected the parts. He better stay away from restricted areas or he will see the results of his work.

LACKEY, Statesville, N. C., is one of our athletically inclined boys, having par- ticipated in football, baseball, track and tennis while in school.. Before entering thc servicc hc was a tire dealer and station oper- ator. Looks like he left that business when thc leaving was good. GUSTAVE CARL KUEBLER, Jr., Maplewood, New Jersey, was a correspondent for an in- surance company prior to becoming a hot pilot. With Farenheit's invention always a- round the 100 mark who wouldn't be hot. That thermometer in this chere state of Arkansas almost blows up at times. fFourth From Leftj LEON SHULMAN, Newark, New Jersey, is one of our larger confereres and he uses his size to good advantage in our athletics fask some of the small Cadetsl. He called various phases of aircraft work both his trade and his hobby. He even built and designed model planes. fTsk, tsk, such a big fcller, LOOQJ TOM C. LAWSON, Mathews, Ala., used his verbal capacities to good advantage as a tractor salesman. Perhaps his work brought him into contact with those We11-knOWn farmer's daughters.

2 CLYDE C. BALL, INSTRUCTOR HAROLD E. KOVEN, New Jersey's gift to the Air Force. His former flying experience con- sisted of two trips at the tender age of 5. Note: to all our young readers of 5 or less. You too can be an aviation cadet. 1 JOHN E. RUTT, Ohio breed, came to like the sport of weight lifting for reasons ovious in a pair of shorts. Although he studied dental work, from now on he will destroy bridges instead of building them. fCenterJ RUSSELL A. McDONNELL, has that accent that comes from only one place-Boston. A Kappa Psi man and also a salesman UD, Mac makes friends so easily. Does a course in personal- ity go with a B. S. Degree? PAUL F. SCHREPPLE, a Washington, New Jersey man, was a molder operator for furni- ture. He will probably get a plane of his own later and equip it with a plush, form fitting, custom built cockpit. Then he will have all the comforts of home.
