Gur Flying instructors It is hardly the practice in a well-conducted school of flight to place the controls of a plane in the unskilled hands of a dodo Crookie pilotj and let him go off by himself to learn by experience. First our dodo must go through several weeks of ground school, roughly corresponding to our junior high school. Then follows actual flight training-first in slow training planes with his in- structor: then alone in souped-up jobs in which he learns stunting and other fine points of the game. Throughout his training, his progress is carefully checked by instructors at the cost of hours of concentrated study, work, worry, and gray hairs. Here the comparison between training for flight and training for life dove- tails very closely. It is the heavy responsibility of our administration, depart- ment heads, and faculty to graduate well-trained, thinking, American citizens just as flying instructors must turn out cool, skillful, perfectly-coordinated flyers. Such a job is by no means a routine flight assignment. Not only must our instructors prepare for their job for many, many arduous months and receive a college degree, but also they must attend teaching courses through the summer months in order to learn the new, improved ways of batting some sense into our benumbed brains. They must grade stacks of examination papers far into the night, deciphering the handwriting of many of them with the aid of slide-rule, microscope, and telepathy. Truly, it must have been a high school English teacher, haunted by the ghost of many a com- position, who quipped: The pause that refreshes-a comma in a senior theme. In wartime, the teachers' tasks are doubly dificult. Teachers are caught at a disadvantage by the increased cost of living. They are expected to contribute a large share of their spare time to direct intensified extra-curricular activities of the students, and to aid in the rationing program-all without compensation. But so far all we have done is to point out the. disadvantages, woes, trials, and tribulations encountered by our flight instructors which is a one-sided presentation of the matter. For the most part they receive a spiritual compensation far in advance of any material reward. The coaches and physical education teachers have the satisfaction of seeing gangling, flabby, awkward bodies being transformed into lithe, proportioned strength and grace. The mathematics and science teachers make minds clear, accurate, logical, and concise. Other minds are broadened, made interpretive and creative under the influence of art, literature, music and languages. Our instructors are doing their level best to teach us to fly high and fly well. Through us they try to build a better social order. Let us not let them, or our- selves, down. Let's fly high! -CHARLES GRADY -3.-
