iid. 9 - -. ,MV ,,,,.,... Class History One snappy morning we assembled at the ll. ll. S. aircraft school. We had heard much of the superior knowledge taught by the officers and other aviators already there. We were disappointed when we learned that we must have three weeks ground school, and then after a test flight Cinitiationj we were to have our plane. Much to our happiness we found a class of sixty-seven members and together we began to plan our flight. VVe made the necessary arrangements, by electing Laverne Dodge as commander, Clifford Swanson, pi- lot, Dravo, Sansom, financier, and Miss Wheatley, mechanic, to see that no harm came to the ship by storm or indiscretion. It certainly was an able crew to guide the passengers through the clouds of learning. We were leaders in ac- tivities, and other aviators knew better than to call us green. The yell leader was chosen from our group and we had a fine showing in athletics. After nulnerous flights we came to Sophomore landing station. We knew the rules of the aeronautic school by this time and chose for our commander, Milton llybarger, who was ably assisted by Wayne Slavens as pilot. The trip was willingly financed by Keith Murphy and Miss Auld was tl1e chief mechanic. We were not outclassed in sports by any means, even the next year 's football captain was chosen from our class, and in basketball the opponents knew Milton llybarger was no bench warmer. We had a first class Junior plane for the third hop, and honoring its im- portance, we chose Ruth Roark, commander, Phyllis Geeves, pilot, and Dravo Sansom agreed to finance the trip. Mrs. Adams was our efficient mechanic. lt was rumored that Captain-elect Slavens, would have an almost all letter team from our class for the next year. Milt llybarger was unanimously chosen for our basketball captain for the next season. We made the Junior-Senior banquet a unique affair by following it with a dance. One of- the most important of our activities was our Junior play, The Goose llangs High. Its up-to-dateness was verified when one of Chicago's large high schools gave it for their play. We weren 't a bit surprised when Elizabeth Dertinger won first in both the city and county declamatory contest, because we always knew that she was far ahead of the other aspiring contestants. ln the fall of 1928 we were given the highest honors of B. Il. S. as the crew of the Senior plane. Dravo Sansom held the duty of commander, Phyllis Geeves that of pilot, and William llradshaw the important office of financier of the last hop. Miss Jones was to see thatour aeroplane was not wrecked as we attempted the last flight together. It was our responsibility to edit the Replica and with the aid of the class, the staff did their best. The Senior boys upheld their standard by having a good representation in athletics. The Juniors delighted us with their banquet given in our honor. Our trip was completed when we reached the landing field, Graduation. Now we are ready, the largest class to graduate from B. II. S., with our di- plomas for planes to carry on the flight of life, and to write our names, to the best of our ability, on the highest clouds of future fame.-P. E. G.
