Not Pictured: Seran, This year, the yearbook staff has worked exceptionally hard to put out a very outstanding yearbook. Contained in their yearbook are the activities of the year 1965. There have been many deadlines to meet, photographs to be taken and many people to interview. Our chief advisors have been Mrs. Emmy Dwight and Capt. Arabellas. The cadet corps sincerely wishes to thank the whole yearbook staff for the great amount of time and effort they have invested in it. NEWSPAPER STAFF SEATED: Snow, Diller, Martinez, Linda, Ellis. STANDING: Capt. Hoover, Munro, Clark, Rhodes, Kurtz, Watkins, Pope, McWilliams. The future newspaper men of F, A. A. did a fine job on the FALCONIAN under the watchful eyes of Capt. Stallard and Capt. Hoover. These news hounds assembled the newspaper in record time, (only a month late). They kept errors to a minimum and finally got the job done. The cadets greatly enjoyed the paper when it came out. It was one of the most looked-forward-to publications that the school put out. 71

FLYING JIM DANIELS, Flight Instructor, with student This year has seen a greater than ever interest in flying, with more cadets earning their wings than ever before. With the air- port less than 2 miles from school, commuting for lessons is easy, and many a flying lesson is squeezed in between English and Chemistry! Flight Instructor Jim Daniels and his assistant. Gene Asbury have earned the respect and friendship of all students. Far left: Capt.

THURSDAY SKINDIVING CLUB After the announcement that skin- diving lessons would be taught here in our own pool, Florida Ah had many enthusiastic boys turn out. After a free dive, the lessons com- menced. When this six weeks course was finished, they made their graduation dive at Silver Springs and also received their cer- tificates making them amateur divers. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Under the supervision of Capt. Ara- bellas, these amateur photographers have produced many fine prints. Much of the members ' free time was spent taking and developing these prints that were used in the newspaper, yearbook and other school publications. MODEL CLUB This year ' s model club has showed a great improvement over last year ' s, due to the fact that they were given more space, more time and better equipment. Under the direction of Maj. Davis, who has devoted much time and great patience, these boys have produced many a fine model.
