The Clock Watches All To many students the clock tower is a graceful out- line against the changing sky, but to us who graduated in May the clock had a special significance. lt was a dominating influence in our high school life. We eouldn't begin to count the many times that we came to school and looked at the clock to see whether or not we were late. That one quick glance would either hasten or slacken our footsteps. It made clock-watchers of us all-emany were the times during a class that we craned our necks to get a glimpse of that silvery-framed face which informed us as to the passing hour. Remember those meetingsfDramalincs, Hi-Y, Glee Clubewhen we depended on the clock? It was a relief to sight that lighted face and know that we still had a few minutes in which to reach the meeting place and greet our friends. As Commencement drew nigh, we felt that haunting sort of sadnessg the kind one gets when he knows that he must leave and time seems so short. That old clock would be of service to us just once more. On that May evening when we came across the campus garbed in caps and gowns, there seemed to be a strange kind of nervous- ness in those many pairs of eyes that looked up at the clock. Perhaps it was just an old habit, but more than likely, it was a final hallowed impression the cloek made, because of that strange mistiness in our eyes. ll 28

,Ceiling Zero!! lex! Tomi! It was 8 o'clock April 20th and 21st, The Lincoln Auditorium was filled to capacity with spectators who had come to witness the exciting drama, the first serious play to show the romance, comedy, a11d tragedy of our commercial air service. This play enacted by seniors was Ceiling Zero. The scene was in the office of the Newark Airport, and the principal characters were the manager, Jake and his buddy, Dizzy Davis, who was one of the famous war aces about to be superseded by the scientific type of commercial pilot. Dizzy was a strong character who liked a good ti111e and the ladies. He had just arrived on the scene after an extended trip west and was attracted to a young air hostess named Tommy, who was engaged to another pilot, Tay Lawson. Due to Dizzy's wanting to entertain Tommy one evening, Tex Clark, who was married to Lou, took the plane on the Hight Dizzy was assigned. The veteran pilot crashed and was killed. As a result of this accident, the Government revoked Dizzy's license. Bitterly humiliated and deeply hurt, he decided to make one last magnificent stand. In violation of strict laws, he undertook a most dangerous flight in bad weather, after knocking out Tay who was supposed to make the trip. Although Dizzy was bent on making the trip, and he knew he would soon crash, he was game to the last and sent radio information about a new mechanical device which he was testing for the first time. A few minutes later, Dizzy plunged to his death. ll play Cast li. Weir, T. Iiinnnel, C. Nieklus, .I Jones. J. Snare, J. Stevens, ll, Christie. B. Jubaeh, D. Newton, R, Tinker. P. Wiegel, l'.
