Stewardess Miss LcFevre kept a watchful eye on the members of the crew as they put all their knowledge of flying into practice. It was not difficult for them to win honors for among their group were outstanding members such as the Athletic Aces: Hubert Hinkley, Glen Steffen, Richard Allin, Maurice Karsten, Fred Stone, and Donald Williams. These boys had won the praise and admiration of other fleets by their excellent work in solo flights. The Scholastic Aces helped to strengthen the entire flying force with their exceptional gains. Among this group we find: Agnes Lucht, Marilyn Miller, and Virginia RolofT. Then, too, the fleet was very proud of their Forensic Ace, Jean Campbell, who showed remarkable ability in her accomplishments. The keeping of the class log was the duty of Arlene Timbers, while the merits of the crewf were kept by Walter Westedt. This year’s flight will be one never to be forgotten; and after a brief stop-over to fuel up with new energy and enthusiasm, all members of the Sophomore Air Fleet will be ready for their flight into the world of knowledge to gain their final and ultimate goal.

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

They now were the new Flying Cadets of Reedsburg High School, looking forward to the thrill and excitement of a new career that was to teach them climbing to heights they had never known. What fun, what adventure! The words of the Captain had been words of wisdom to these know ledge thirsting Cadets. The words and challenge still rang out as they recalled his advice. “When you get to a flying field, you are like- ly to find a certain daredeviltry among some of the flying students. Don’t be misled by this— it often covers up the fact that they are just as nervous as you new cadets. Many of those you might call daredevils are exactly opposite. They carefully figure out what they are going to do, and they know their plane and themselves; they don’t rely on guesswork. A spectacular flyer can do, and has done, about everything possible with a plane, but he knows what he is doing. The ones wrho arc daredevils in the sense that they will ‘take a chance on anything’ and don’t Page twenty-six
