Our speedy airship of learning was piloted by Miss Williams. Her co-pilot was James Matthews, with Orville Mahnensmith and Alleen King as helpers. We landed for a brief time to enjoy a Halloween and skating party. Taking four months for repairs of the battered airship, we took off again in 1938 with only sixty-three passengers. We were piloted by Miss Henline. Paul Beerman acted as co-pilot with Marceil Derr and Nellie White as stewardesses. We glided to a landing to enjoy two skating parties. We began our flight again in 1939 with fifty-eight juniors. Miss Knull acted as our able pilot with Alleen King as co-pilot. Pauline Miller, Gloria Horman, and Bernadine Herbst were helpers. We landed for a skating party and a dance. With Miss Snoddy as our director, the class play, One Mad Night. went over very successfully. We entertained the seniors April 19th, with a Junior-Senior recep- tion at the Catholic Community Center in Fort Wayne. With a determined will to finish our long and hard task at O. H. S., we started once more in the fall of 1940 with fifty-seven passengers. We had two pilots this year, Miss Knull and Mr. Moore. Velma Bushee acted as co-pilot with Lyle Summers, Gloria Horman, and Orville Mahnensmith as assistants. Our entertainment consisted of a dance and a banquet. Miss Knull loaned a very helpful hand with our senior play, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It was a great success and everyone was very proud. We have come through this weary journey with two tragedies: the deaths of Alphon Elzey and Tommy Archbold. One of our classmates, Billy Herbst, found it more interesting to enter into matrimonial life rather than going on the journey with us. We have ended our flight with fifty-four passengers on board. Having successfully finished this flight, we hope to start on a longer journey April 18. Ten
