While observing a Home Ec class about a year ago, Carolyn became extremely interested in figurine painting. Further inquiry into the work brought about a prompt decision to try her own hand at it. Though sho confesses her hobby is carried on a bit spasmodically, she nevertheless puts in many enjoyable hours once the paints are mixed and the equipment is in readiness. She has finished many figurines since adopting this pastime. A little boy of ten pouring over every boolc on airplanes he could find-then the first plane ride at thirteen-and the flying lessons that followed--all these add up to Bob's hobby. The thrill of soloing came on his sixteenth birthday, then work in earnest for his license. ln Bob's own words he tells us, After many more hours in the air, with countless check flights, my instructor finally decided that l was at last competent to carry passengers. The long awaited dream came true. Late last summer the C.A.A. awarded him the coveted pilots license. 25
