★ TRIAL FLIGHTS The tenth grade marked the first short if OUR FIRST SOLO FLIGHT flight of our class. We didn't get very far, but we didn't fall many times. During the tenth grade, several members of the class received recognition of their scholastic work in the form of the Junior High Honor Pin. The names of the members of the class receiving this pin are: Helen Sodja Jack Forman Ernest Haberland William Lysoght Lillian Fain Olga Godec Marie Baggott Ruth Dunlap During the tenth grade also, Helen Sodja was chosen as Best Citizen, and Grade Representative. On this our first flight, we noticed for the first time certain members of the class. Sobolovitz, Lundblad, Ken-nelly, and Oros became members of the reserve football squad. Even this early, it wos seen that in basketball, Joe Oros, would be one of the leading players in the city of Cleveland. Gone are the Student Council dances and parties at which we frolicked so gayly; gone also the joy of making up Christmas baskets for the needy. Our first flight was a success in that it pointed out to us the pleasure of striving for scholastic honors and social school activities. In the eleventh grade, we started on our if SECOND SOLO FLIGHT second flight; a flight a little longer, a little more successful, in which we could see a little better where we were going, and how to travel safely In the annals of this period, wo find o great deal of fun, and, although our teachers may not believe it, a considerable amount of work. A competition was started between the boys and girls for attendance at the dances. As a result of the competition, the girls won several dozen lolly-pops. Bill Patterson won the mmiature-golf championship of Cleveland and Helen Davis took third honors in the school trumpet contest. •23 •

THIRD SOLO FLIGHT As we near the final phase of our flight, the skies become cloudy and the going rough, but we have full confidence that under the leadership of our four horsemen, the way will be made smoother and we shall ride to further glory and moke our journey one of the most outstanding in school history. As 12B's we had the honor!?) of receiving the Spotlight Tin Cup, having lost in the subscription contest. We had our revenge, however, when we in turn, as 12A's, presented it to the present 12B's. During the twelfth grade also, Howard Bailey hos been the first to receive the newly established aeroplane trophy. As 12B's we chose as our class colors. Blue and Silver. Our 12B party was a great success with the gay-colored dresses of the girls making a bright picture against the blue and silver decorations. As 12A's, we chose Pegasus as our class emblem. Ruth Dunlap made two very attractive designs of the emblem One of these was used in the class book-plates and tags, I2A Party napkins and donee programs; the other one on the Booklet cover. A number of our members have won recognition in various fields, but this will be taken up elsewhere. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of January 1935, being about to take flight into the unknown, and realizing, with regret, that there will be many things which we cannot take with us, do hereby bequeath them, in this, our last will and testament, to those who can best use them. We, the class of January 1935, do give and bequeath to our beloved schoolmates (the 12B's) our best wishes for their success, and our regret that we can no longer be with them. We also leave to the aforementioned class, our gracious dignity and our pleasing manners, together with our earnest prayer that they will make the fullest possible use of them. The class of January 1935, also bequeaths to the class of June 1935, the immense task of finding someone to re- 24 •
