In its early stages, the club consisted of five membersg namely, Donald Bender, Henry Wester- velt, Donald Erskine, Joseph Gentile, and Richard Colburn. The club did not maintain any strict routine and its meetings were most informal. Since its earliest days its membership has constantly changed. During the winter months, little model airplane activity was possibleg however, some mod- els were completed in the shop and others were built by members in their homes. As the spring passed and the sunny, dry days came more and more frequently, the interest in model airplane building grew until, at present, the club consists of a rather indefinite number of people who tum up whenever they can to talk about models and to build new planes. Most of the construction work is now done at home, but the club is sure to hear the news when one of its mem- bers succeeds in breaking some records in place of merely breaking his model airplane. At times during the school year other activities interfered with the schedules of the Airplane Club to such an extent as to make meeting impossible and interest in the club was reduced. The re- awakening of interest in recent months is very heartening, with more fellows starting on model work. In the face of this new interest, it seems that the Airplane Club will grow and receive the back- ing of the students as have all other school activi- ties. Secretary: Donald Bender. E291
