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

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.

Remember everything your instructor says, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about any points you don’t quite ‘get.’ “Don’t pay any serious attention to the advice and the ‘barracks flying’ talk of other students. They are learning, just as you are; yet there are always some that can, and will, tell you everything there is to know about flying. If they say anything that causes you any doubt, immediately ask your instructor about it; don’t ask anyone else. Get it cleared up in your mind, or you may fall into a bad flying habit or belief.” With such challenging thoughts, nothing could stop these anxious Cadets. They chose as Chief Cadet, Reginald Hall, assisted by Ground Manager Bill Frye. Betty White was their choice for the Cadets’ Stewardess. With their eyes to the sky, and high ambitions their goal, these Flying Cadets should really glide far and soar high in their four years in our great flying school. Page twenty-seven
