Page Ten 'The Aurora The flowers massed so beautifully in our honor, tell us that it is Juneg yet to us, it is also New Year's Day, that ushers us from the old months of school activities into the new life of broader endeavor. We thrill with appreciation of the benefits you have showered upon us through our school and its capable instructors. True education draws out and develops all the human facultiesg it wakes the heed- less youth to the fact that life has a work for him to perform. Before us stretch the years of our further education and the d7u-ties of life. The future looks bright and the rosy dreams of youth are full of promise. We go forward to meet our obligations firm in the belief that the lessons of our school life have laid the fo-undaftion for future success. The influence of our school days has left a lasting im- pressiong it has helped to mold our charactersg it will be instrumental in shap- ing our destinies, so we thank you, as we welcome you to the scenes of triumph for enabling us to successfully complete the work of high school. Of the many inventions, fast developing ind-ustries, and great branches bf business in which one must indulge for life work, there is, in my mind, one which I have chosen as my subject, because of its swift develop- ment, the economlic revolution it has brought about, and its steadily mounting popularity as a commercial and industrial benefit. From prehistoric time all down through the ages man has looked upon the flying bird with envy. The earliest legends were filled with impossible accounts of man fly- ing through the air, and as time passed these stories grew, often giving the details of the supposed flights. Whether these legends are pure myths, the results of the imaginations of the early birds, well rounded out from telling and retelling, or whether they had their be- ginnings in man's early experiments in try- ing to take to the air, cannot be deter- mined. However, there is much in many of these stories that comes under the range of possibility. To Leonardo da Vinci is attributed the invention of the parachute and helicopter which he had developed from the first basic principles of his own genius. As for the first lighter than air craft We must tum to Francesco Lana, who in the seventeenth century directed his energy and mentality to the construction of gas con- tainers made of thin copper from which he planned to exhaust the gas causing the contrivance to rise. Although the, whole principle was imipossible, yet many new versions concerning lighter than air craft were obtained by many such experiments. On June 5, 1783, a large crowd assembled at Versailles, France, to see the firsrt successful balloon ever constructed. The frame of this feat goes to the Montgolfer Brothers, who through their observation of natural objects and exiperiments with paper bags, developed the first airshilp to make a successful flight, carrying a rooster, a sheep, and a duck as the aerial passenger list. In enumerating the many inventors, scientists, and discoverers of the principles of aviation, one must not forget Dr. Samuel P. Langley who, although always unsuccess- ful in launching was the first to con- struct a motor driven plane -based on thoroughly sound principles. Just nine days following Dr. Langley's second trial flight which ended in the same manner as-the first had-by the breaking of the track from which it was launched, the Wright Brothers made their first power driven flight and the conquest of the air was completed. With the firsrt successful flight of the Wright Brothers the era of unlimited aerial development began, which was sched-uled to the end of time. Numerous flights were made by the dif- ferent inventors and aviators of the many countries abowt 1910, but not until the World War was the real value of aviation revealed. ' The construction of many different models, the development of aerial photo- graphy and synchronization, a method of timing guns on the transmission in such a manner as to permit firing the guns be- tween the propeller blades were brought forward.
