The Flame of 193 4 help of the two mechanics, Miss Johnston and Mr. Gordon, who helped to make both these events a big success. Many of our Junior fellow passengers were in the Minstrel. Several of our boys were outstanding in athletics, as were also several of the girls. We landed after a most successful flight, only to gather again the following year in order to make our last and most difficult trip, our Senior flight. We took off in grand fashion with Garrison Burr, Clyde Staley, and Richard Yana-wav as main pilots, and with graduation as our goal. We began our flight with 77 passengers, but several have used their parachutes and left us to handle our plane as best we can with only 68 of us left to land this trip. We were indeed sorry to see Philip Emrich bail out because of illness, for he was on our football squad, a good student, an excellent friend, and one of the best of sports in all matters. We have certainly had some narrow escapes on this trip. In February, the plane got beyond the p lot’s control and we ran into a red cloud of measles. While all of us were holding our breath in terror, some became so excited that they jumped out, but pulled the parachute string loo quickly, so that their parachutes caught on the wings of the p’anc. Finally, after strenuous efforts, the pilots got the airplane under control. After some time we were able to draw back into the sli p those who had been clinging to the wings, looking much the worse for wear, to be sure, and covered with tiny red spots and bruises, but in a few weeks we were running on normal schedule again as if nothing had happened. We soon began work in earnest on the Flame. Each student did his bit in some way to help get it to the press and sold to the fellow passengers. We want to thank our mechanic, Miss Meyer, for the splendid help and advice she gave us. In the fall, we sponsored a minstrel show and carnival which was a big success. All the underclassmen took part in this carnival, and we wish to thank them for their aid. We also put on a Senior C'lass play. At last, after four long flights, we have landed our plane. We look back over our trips and remember all the storms, hardships, and happiness we have shared. In May, we were presented with our wings, and it was with both joy and sadness that we received them. We can hear the roar of the planes of the Juniors. Sophomores, and Freshmen coming behind us to take our places. We hope that they will find their flight as enjoyable and profitable as ours has been. It is with much sadness that we bid adieu to our dear alma mater, as we make our way to our individual planes to start the long, hard flight of life with success as our goal. It is with great pleasure that I, as one of the class, have written this history of the CIassof’34. Signed: ZoE Suawver. Witness: Nqrma Walling Witness: Geiil Garrett. I 20 |
