Spring CAA Course Comes Through with Flying Colors Silver Threads Among the Gold might very appropriately be the theme song of the 1941 spring aeronautics class, because of all the aeronautical classes conducted up to that point, it took the prize for giving D.C. Stark, E. A. Funk, and Lloyd Pickett gray hairs. First, the little item of the flying instruc- tor, Hugh Minor, resigning was only a trifle, because Pickett succeeded in obtaining an in- structors license. With that settled, the problem of a good licensed mechanic was yet to be solved. After a hasty search. the licensed mechanic was found. With these two main problems solved, the hopeful little ten settled down to Stark's in- teresting lectures with renewed patience, looking forward to the good possibilities of some day being able to fly-but, the former worries were not enough for Friend Fate- two of the students accepted jobs before per- mission to fly was obtained from the govern- ment. This called for numerous private con- ferences between these boys and the instruc- tors. This was gradually ironed out with the result of Daniel himself taking flying from Pickett. There was only one worry left to us, and that was the problem of whether or not Stark could slide through on the ground school tests, but, after some consultation among the 10 flying aces, it was decided that he had a fair chance of it. Then, as though there hadn't been enough hard luck, Bud Higby decided to have an attack of appendicitis. As you all know, how- ever, he eventually snapped out of that non- sense, after an operation. This leads up to the place where flying could begin any time that the wind and re- tarded at least for five or ten minute inter- vals. The only trouble 'now was the little fact that only one or two out of the class had means of transportation to the airport. Every possible angle of solution was given consider- ation. Mr. Funk suggested that the school bus be used for this purpose, but after a second thought, it was decided that carrying the ten students at different hours would be too hard on the tires and pavement. Nature took its course on that problem, as they all managed to get there sooner or later for their lessons. Then the good tidings of great joy were received one morning at ground school that McQuiston had soloed--the first of the class. The next to solo was Bob Lindemood. Bob got along fine until he tried to land. After over- shooting the field twice, onlookers, including Pickett, were trying to figure out the possi- bilities of shooting him down. That Wasn't necessary, however, as the third time was a charm for him. A new custom was established after Lindemood landed, and that was for all those present at the airport after a first solo, the soloist buys cokes. Although this class of nine boys and one girl has had numerous worries, they got a lot of fun out of the course along with their edu- cation, and perhaps the worries lent a bit of excitement to the otherwise daily routine. The spring aeronautics class of 1941 had its flying instruction under Lloyd Pickett who succeeded Hugh Minor, the former flight in- structor, and Daniel Stark continued the ground work instruction. This class was unable to start their instruc- tion as early as the other classes because of various hinderences, but are going to be able to finish at approximately the maximum time limit set by the government for completion. The first of the ten students to solo was Harold lVIcQuiston who made his a few min- utes past the eight-hour minimum. Bob Lind- emood followed second. The students taking this course are as fol- lows: Daniel Stark, fthe ground instructorb, Bud Higby, Bob Lindemood, R.B. Quinn, Har- old McQuiston, Earl Cook, Oran Begwin, Bob Decker, Patty Yorke, Kenneth Peterson, and William Woodman.

Collegians Learn Two Welding Methods Fourteen boys were enrolled in the new col- lege welding class that was taught this se- mester for the first time. The boys learned two types of welding in this course, arc and acetyline. With the new equipment and room, the class had the advan- tage of developing skill. Most of the boys worked with plate welding but some worked with tube welding. Before the course was ended, each boy worked with both plate and tube welding under the direc- tion and supervision of Francis Agnew, in- structor. Since the course was taught only one hour a day rapid advance could not be expected. Only the fundamentals of welding and the training of the use of the welding equipment could be gained in this course. This course was taught along the same line as the trade schools and was taught this se- mester chiefly as an experimental course. Instead of being just a preparatory course, it tends to develop a skill which can be put to ready use in the defense programs after the completion of the course. The boys enrolled in this course as follows: Grover Bills, Norman Burton, Wallace Brown, J ack Dailey, Faye Floyd, Don Hoyt, Carl Hol- man, Herb Hollenback. Bob Lawrence, Jack Martin, Billy Morgan, Victor Reeves, Raymond Stalnaker, and Cliff Yarberry. Dinner Club ls Live-Wire The Dinner Club is an organization of stu- dents of speech for the purpose of puttinginto practical use those speech techniques studied in the regular class time. The Dinner Club also gives students an op- portunity to become acquainted with proper social graces as each student is given a chance to act as host or hostess at one of the meet- ings. A special effort has been made this year to make the programs more timely. Certain holi- days have provided the theme for each of the meetings, held the second Monday of each month. ff 0 1, Es war elnmal ------ Dites donelln The language clubs of the junior college met this year on alternate Wednesday even- ings-the French club meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of the month and the German club on the second and fourth Wed- nesdays. Several special meetings of both clubs were held during the year. The French club's initial meeting was the annual Twelfth Night party in the Presbyterian Church on January 8. The celebration was ruled over by Mary Ellen McDowell and Roy Paslay. According to the French custom, the person finding the bean in his piece of cake is king or queen. Mary Ellen McDowell found the bean which gave her the privilege of choosing the king. The program was composed of impromptu numbers requested by the king and queen. A special guest was Mrs. H. H. Putman, who was born in Switzerland and has lived in several countries. She gave a brief talk con- cerning her native land in French. The officers this year were Ida Laura Shu- mate, president, Madge Sneller, vice-presi- dent, Chester Turner, secretary, Virginia Scritchfield, song leader, alnd Helen Jean Cal- kins, pianist. All business meetings and as much of the social hour as possible were con- ducted in French. Christmas caroling and the annual spring picnic were the outstanding events of the German Club's year. The annual Christmas party held at the home of Miss Anne Hawley, language instructor, was followed by the group carolimg in various parts of the city. Officers for this year were Harry Freeman, president, Winston Walker, vice-president, Ethel McKerracher, secretary, William Galle, song leader. and Eleanor Pearson, pianist. Just a sittin' in a school room In a great big easy chair, And keeping things a-movin' With a lordly sort of airy Not a thing to do but askin' Lots o' questions from a book, 'Spectin' kids to know the answers, Though they're not allowed to look, That's teachin'.
