States, Great Britain, and the totalitarian States in respect to military strength and alliance. Top flights were made by Darrow, Stanhope, Stubenvoll, Montgomery, and Burmester, who were decorated for highest achievement and received certificates of merit. Each class, of course, boasts individuals receiving honor awards, but the third year men top them all in number. In a flight the services of those cadets who keep the log are indispensable. Montgomery, Struck, Darrow, and Fullmer have well recorded and will continue to record the many feats of the bird-men. The social whirl momentarily supplants the rigors of daily routine as the sky pilots ground themselves to spin, turn, and glide at the gala ball of the year. Captain Sweeney and his sponsor, Miss McCarthy, led the guests through the intricacies of the grand march. Brilliant colors transformed the hangar and provided a gay background for this event—the culmination of the cadets’ social season. This class watches its predecessors as they take off on their long flight to some undetermined goal and looks forward to its last year as a period in which it hopes to set new records in aviation history.

Now let’s visit the barracks of the third year cadets for whom, because of their outstanding accomplishments during their training period, a brilliant flying career is predicted. Thus far, as a unit, they have broken all records in endeavor and achievement. Their ground work is well laid and, knowing that they will continue on this same high plan in their last year, we will be justly proud “to give them their wings.” Much of the glory that they have won is due to the skillful piloting of their squadron commander, Captain Sweeney, and his aids, McCormick, Maske, and Struck. The squadron will long remember the aces whose spectacular loops, spins, and dives, placed many trophies in the halls of the academy There they go in a demonstration flight—Brice Wheeler, Stubenvoll, Maske, Sedgwick, Krc Held, Burmester, Beth, Arvold, Weidma O’Connor, Smith, Bernien, and Struck—expi pilots, all of them, revving their motors as tli meet each obstacle. Another year of service make them capable airmen, well prepared lead in their long distance flight. The Research Crew, Stubenvoll, Leakey, 1 drie, and Bernien, uncovered volumes of it mation as to the relative positions of the U Page twenty-two

It was a bright day early in September 1938, when the Sophomore Air Fleet left its barracks and launched bravely into the wide open spaces on their second trip toward their final goal— education. Their first flight taken in 1937 had been generally accepted as successful; but it had been filled with fear on the part of many of the fleet, for this was a new undertaking for them. Bad weather had been encountered; storms seemed to loom up like great mountains before the horizon; but always, somehow, they managed to find a gleam of light shining through just when everything seemed the darkest. Now on this second flight they could set forth, not with caution and uncertainty, but with courage and stability, for all their previous encounters had taught them how to handle their ships in time of distress, how to manage their planes in diff icult maneuvers and how to understand the warnings given them by their delicate instruments with which every plane was fully equipped. This mighty crew, who so eagerly were at- Page twenty-four
