Emphasis Shifts to Aeronautics CHAFFEY COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS developed from the aviation de- partment as the year progessed. Thirty men, five of them former Chaffey aeronautics students, taught under Charles L. Turner. Four main branches of activity occupied the time of the members: Regular day school work in air- craft mechanics; thirteen classes in In-Service Off-Reservation mechanic learners trained at the Chaffey hangar; three shifts in machine shop and sheet metal National Defense; and Civilian Pilot Training, both ground school and flight, at Silver Lake. Fred Clapp was head of the camp and Mrs. Evelyn P. Kilgore chief pilot. Men alternated one week on the campus and one at the camp. Because of the engrossing activity of all the Aero club members in C.P.T. and defense activity, regular meetings were discontmued second semester. Be- fore the men were all out for defense, they held monthly meetings and or- ganized the powerful Hell Divers college political party. Familiar sight to those who frequent the shops is a working pose of the affable Mr. Charles L. Turner, from Washington State; A. C. Hargrave, with a B.S. from Colorado State Agricultural College, and Paul Birkofer, who attended the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. AERO. Row 1— K. Speaker, J. Reed, W. Richards, A. Rulsvold, H.

Teas ... a moment ' s relaxation from the task of teaching . . . are held periodically by Mr. Spring and mem- bers of the faculty. They provided a welcome retreat from students, cor- recting tests, and planning assign- ments. Times like these provide the faculty with the opportunities to broaden friendships with each other which the students find time to do in gatherings on the lawns or in the halls. Faculty Escape From Classes CORRECTING PAPERS . . . Dreaming up tests . . . reading themes . . . these are hastily and gratefully forgotten as faculty members put away spectacles and blue pencils to in- dulge in a bit of getting away from it all among themselves and the student body. You saw them at games, parties, teas, club meeting, the steak bake . . . having as much fun as you and you wondered how you could have ever gotten the impression in class that profs were fuddy-duddys. Have some salad, Mr. Booth? . . . the faculty had helped us plan the five-event day and now they were joining in the fun of greasy fingers and all that goes with eating food out-of-doors. They wore hello cards, too . . . helped you to get acquainted with those whom you did not have in class. An afternoon or two a month the faculty con- gregate to plan and to plot new policies and solve problems pertaining to teaching us . . . a little. Mr. Booth presides over these meetings. 9«P
