Oh, you'll make an attempt some day, To-morrow is your cry- Afraid of what someone might say, And you don't even try. Do you know that those who'd laugh At things that you might do Are one's that couldn't stand the gaE- Afraid, the same as you. Let them smile, take it all in fun, You can even up the score.

90 SPECULA GALTONIA sa FE NG ' Dept. Editors: JAMES WILLARD, JESSIE HINRICH Model Airplanes as a Hobby OME people make the mistake of thinking that building a flying model aeroplane is mere child's play. How- ever, this is not the case, as it is actually developing from a hobby to a science. Many men, boys and girls are taking up this interesting craft. Those who know about model planes un- derstand, automatically, about man-carry- ing ships. William B. Stout, designer of the Ford-Stout all metal air-plane, learned about areonautics from the models he started building more than thirty years ago. Commander Richard E. Byrd and other aid leaders have profited by studying models. When a new airplane is designed, a min- iature of it is built and tested in a wind tunnel. This is a tunnel-like enclosure through which a blast of air is driven. The model is fastened to a type of weighing scale, and careful recordings are made of its reactions. By taking these findings on a much larger scale the designer knows almost exactly how the large plane will perform. A great deal of accuracy is required in the building of models. Parts must be carefully cut to the proper dimensions. It would not do to have them overweight with overstrength, nor underweight with very little strength. It is often a slow job constructing a model, but when it is Hn- ally completed and it flies well, one feels rewarded for his efforts. HARRY ZINN, Form T2A Radio and the Talkies ADIO 'has developed rapidly since 1901 when Marconi sent the first signals across the Atlantic. The talkies and public address sys- tems are very closely associated with ra- dio, the chief diHerence being that in radio the sound signals are picked up from the air and in the talking pictures they are reproduced from recordings usually made on wax discs synchronized with the film. In both cases the sound signals are put through amplifiers, the ones used in the talkies being much more powerful than in radio, as much more volume is re- quired. The dynamic speaker has done much towards better reproduction both in radio and the popular talking pictures. It can handle a much larger amount of power than the older type and for this reason has become the most widely used. Radio has also proven itself invaluable in aviation, as it keeps explorers and long distance iiiers in touch with the world. It will probably be one of the most im- portant factors in helping to combat and conquer fog, the airplane's greatest men- ace. IVAN HOLLOWAY, Form T2A

Z Sportlights INTERFORM RUGBY The rangers, composed of T2, and 4A pupils, carried off the honours, in the Senior Inter-form league, last fall, by defeating the Invincibles. As two teams were found to be tied for first place, at the close of the schedule, an extra game had to be played, in order to decide which was to be the winner of the league. The result was, the Rangers emerged victorious, by a score of 4-0. The position of captain, was ably held by Pete Avison, one of Tech's huskies. He was well supported by Sargeant, Sipes, Walker, Burden, Cation, Bevan, Oliver and Dunn, of T2, and Dietrich, Tutton, Wild, Mast and Margoles of 4A. In the deciding game, the kicking and plunging of Romy Dietrich, played an important part in the victory of the Rangers, as did the tackling of Bevan, and the end runs by Mast. Tutton, playing the position of quarter- back, proved himself quite capable of the task of leading his team-mates into the plays. 14 Pk D!! JUNIOR The only Technical contribution to the Junior Rugby team, last fall, was in the form of their star plunger, Our Gerald Hugo, from T2B. T. Zb Basketball Our form has just completed a fairly successful basketball season, finishing second among the Second forms, in the Intermediate Inter-form League. The team turned in its best perform- ance, when they staged a sensational last half offensive, to overcome a seven-point lead, and defeat 2A by a score of 18 to 17. At half-time the score stood 15-8, with 2A on the long end. Then came the rally. The Hugo, Burden and Walker forward line got going, and by swift, sure combin- ation, and some pretty shooting on the part of Walker, managed to creep up, point by point. The effective blocking, by the guards, allowed our opponents, but two points.
