Ten cadets from Martinton and one from Beaverville enlisted into our outfit this year, but Martinton's Bob Tibetts' enlistment ran out. Then in March, Wanda Wade from Watseka joined us. Even though there were few activities, the troop was active. Fourteen were band members, and in sports, we shone. Letter men were, Joe Lamle, Wllbur Bauer, Donald Finch, George Bard, Dick Johnson, B111 Johnson, Kenneth Tunks, and George Morrison. . As a final splurge, the scuadron gave a Victory Prom. With decorations in red, white, and blue, on a Victory theme, and Ross Melks' Orchestra, it's needless to say everybody had a marvelous time.

HISTORY In the fall of 1939, a class of forty-five, not so green, freshman started their flight training toward Vic- tory in Donovan high School. From the ranks, to lead the squadron came Capt. Dick Johnson, Lieut. Betty Loveless and Corp. Byron Hegnier with Liss Rlpple to act as M.P. A rather momentous year followed. Before the basic training was over, the school burned and we moved into temporary quarters. During this year, the Donovan Townslip High School Band started and eleven of us were among those beginning with it. We were active in sports and everything going on around the field. The last retreat was sounded for Melvin Anderson, one of the cadets, on March E, 1940. We all missed him. Past the stage of rookies, the squadron flew on into its second year. Our number was reduced to th1rty-sev- en and commanders were changed to Capt. Joe Lamie, Lieut. Leonard Blanchette, Corp. John Dube, and Miss Schauer, M.P Confidence growing with experience, members of the corps were active in most all activities, being in the English play, band, athletics, operetta, and orchestra. As the flight progressed and Victory was nearer in 1941-1942, the Junmors were a crack outfit. With only twenty-three cadets, we did a fine job of everything. A Thanksgiving dance, a farewell party, other parties, and finally a Victory Banquet were sponsored by the squadron. Many of the Juniors participated in extra actlvities and especially in sports. As usual the officers were changed with Dlck Johnson, Helen Elliott, Bill Johnson, and Mr. Goff in command. Roaring on, on to the Victory, our Senior year begank Due to the War and rationing, activities were curtailed some but we made- the best of everything, sponsoring a St. Pat's Party and a Prom. In command of the last flight in
