We sincerely wish to extend a token of appreciation to these teach- ers who have so unselfishly given of their time and efforts for the past twelve years. The Class of 56owes them a debt of gratitude for their tolerance, friendly attitude and help- ful advice in helping them to attain this first goal of their education.

Septem- ber 1, 1952, the 57 cadets reported at the academy for further instructions. They learned that the officer in command was General McKenzie, and their commanding officers of the Freshman divi- sion were Major Jones with the cadets and Major Jones with the wafs. We were instructed to board the ship Freshman, which took off at 8:30 A.M., September 1, 1952. We learned that the pilot was Kenny Middleton; Co-Pilot, Jim Bone; Quartermaster, Judy Pyles; Navigator, Leonard Million. In the term 52-53 we lost 13 cadets and gained private Helen Dace and private Rochelle McDonald. In May, 1953, after nine months of training the cadets had a three months leave. On August 31, the cadets reported for duty. The first few weeks were spent in reviewing the thing they had forgotten during their leave. They boarded the ship Sophomore with a little hesita- tion, but soon found that they felt much more accustomed than before. For this term 46 cadets en- rolled for their second year. During this year, 12 of our cadets applied for transfers and received them, but we also gained eight new cadets from other academies. When we returned from our leave, we found a new Mess sergeant in charge. Our new sergeant was sergeant Dasovich. We also re- ceived a new recreation captain. Captain Chaney. The pilot for this term was Sue Thornes; Co- Pilot, Jim Waltrip; Navigator, Marilyn Hamilton; Quartermaster, Judy Pyles. At the end of this term we honored the academy by buying a new clock so we could see zero hour better. In May, 54, we had another three month leave, which we were very anxious to receive. After a pleasant leave, we reported back to duty on September 7, 1954. The zero hour was to be 8:30. At 8:25 we learned we were to board the airship, Junior. This was a larger ship than the other two we had flown, and it had a lot more responsibility. During this term six more of our ca- dets applied for transfers and they also were granted, but in their place we gained private John William Williams, Jr. It was during this term that we gained our social science instructor, Cap- tain DeSpain, and lost Captain Holmes. On April 22, 1955, the Junior division of the academy gave a play entitled The Brain Storm. The officers for this term were: Pilot, Marilyn Hamilton; Co-Pilot, Bob Casey; Navigator, Ken Middleton; Quartermaster, Judy Pyles. As usual, in the early part of May our commanding officer informed us that we were to go on a three month leave. On September 6, 1955, the cadets reported back to the academy; they now numbered 32. As we entered the old flight academy for the last time, we thought of the first flight we had made. We were scared, lost young cadets, but now we had all the confidence in the world, perhaps a little too much. During this term we lost two cadets. The officers for our last flight were: Pilot, Marilyn Hamilton; Co-Pilot, Bob Casey; Navigator, Mary Beth Ellinghouse; Quartermaster, Judy Pyles. Dur- ing this flight we received a new Head Master, General White. On May 10, 1956, the academy had the graduation exercises. As the graduation speaker made the speech, most of us were thinking of the flight we were going to take for pleasure on May 12, 1956. On the pleasure flight, which we called Senior Trip, we all had a wonderful time. On May 20, as we got off the airship, back at home, we all realized that this would be the last time we would all be together.
