Iust as planes have to ily through fog, sleet, snow, and storms, we Fledglings have to come to the airport some mornings in pouring rain, drifts, ice, and fog. We look up to our seniors who have maneuvered the storms and jumps - for We realize how disappointed a pilot is who has been washed out. Of course, not all of the fun of aviation is in the air. The Ground Activities play a major role in the life at the airport. The music organizations, the Tri-Hi-Y's, the school paper, and yearbook blend in with the hard grind of learning velocities, air currents, and panel boards to make aviation a pleasant avoca- tion. Also, one of the sky-lights of the Ground Activities this year was Forensic League Competition. This activity was curtailed during the war, but was held again this spring - the first since 1942. Stunt Fliers represent another phase of the life at our airport - the sports! In this group are found the pilots who go through spins, rolls, and loop-the-loops for the pleasure of those watching. Now, our training days are about over. We can look back at the experiences at the airport and remem- ber those skylights that made our years here our happiest ones. , nfl -Kit un., l 1 X l KW it XX' X If A , 3- ,ot - E

Our four years at high school can be called our four training years for that goal - our solo flight, which is reached at graduation. We owe much of our success to a group of twenty-eight people - our Instructors, headed by our Squadron Leader, Mr. Iohnston. These persons found their way into our hearts as soon 'as we entered this bewildering airport. With their cheerful, but firm attitudes, they kept our engines running smoothly with no misses in our motors. Since most of our years at the airport were during the war, quite cr few oi our Instructors went to the Armed Forces. Now that Peace reigns again, some are returning - having a greater knowledge of things beyond the blue. I F r- 1
