The Spirit of 321 9A Room 321 This is Station TRI H S, broadcasting reports from the educational flight of The Spirit of 321, which took off beautifully in the month of February, 1926. and pointed its way through the dense fog of education on its flight toward Rockford High School. We will continue from the report made on the 9B trip, completed in june, 1928. After spending about two months in repairing and refueling the ship, The Spirit of 3121 took off in September, 1928, along the 9A Route. Marie Reilley was at the controls. The fog surrounding education decreased considerably along the way, and both crew and passengers were able to get much enjoyment out of the trip. Some of the passengers of note were Captain Stanley Iosephitis of the Roosevelt football team, Richmond Shipley of the swimming team, and several members of the Roosevelt band and orchestra. The plane's officers were Marie Reilly, Ramona Bordner, and Veronica Hausmaun. In addif tion to these, there were the following members of service organizations: Student Council Member-Mildred Hehir Reporter--Pauline Knapp Girls' Sanitary OfficerAAnna Lincke Boys' Sanitary Officer-Roy Norberg Traffic Officer-Horace Olmsted As the plane starts on its course along IOB, all its passengers look forward to a successful and pleasant voyage. page fifteen

The Four Square uniors 9A Room 216 The Four Square dirigible, Strive for the Best, flying on Route 216, had stopped at Sta' tion 9B the last time it was heard from. All the passengers took a vacation of eleven weeks be' fore resuming the flight toward Station 9A. Due to illness, two of our number-Ross Andrews and lane Peterson-had to remain at Station 9A, but five new members were taken aboard, mak- ing a total of thirtyfseven seeking airport entry to Senior High. The requirements for entry at this port were more severe than at any station along our three years' course. This was due to the examinations given by the officers at Port 9A to find out how much English, algebra, general science ,and social science each passenger had. However, in general, this part of the journey was more successful than any other, we think. To make the trip more enjoyable, every passenger took a Teddyhs News along with him. A 100 per cent banking banner floated above the ship most of the time. Lee, Allen, Madden, and Boettcher entertained us with athletic contests. Davis, Hoffman, and Alexander helped supply band music for our delight. Hyzer brought honor to us by having his name enrolled with the intellectuals of Roosevelt. jane Smith's Halloween party will be remembered as one of the happy times along the way. A new pilot, Marion Harvey, guided the ship during the last five months of our trip. Her aids were LaVerne Allen, assistant pilotg Martha Ryan, private secretaryg Willis Harris, fare col' lectorg Harold Grovesycouncilorg and Janet Savage and Helen McNeany, reporters. page fourteen I

The Haunted 302's 9Ai ROOIII 302 At last the enchantment is broken, and we are no longer The Haunted 302's. For three years we have had visions of gaining honors in the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. Our greatest aim was to see some of our names emblazoned on the Honor Roll. This goal we never reached, but, due to the fact that four of our members lost several times by only a few points, we ask you to watch for us on the Senior High School Honor Roll. After a most persistent struggle, on December 5, 1928, we reached our second goal-100 per cent in banking. Our greatest honor came to us at a meeting of all the 9A groups in the auditorium on Ian' uary the fourteenth. when two of our members were elected class officers. Roy Speer, who has served so efficiently in many capacities, was chosen 9A president, and William Brown, secre- tary and treasurer. - We are proud of our four boys-Charles Marinaro, Paul Patton, Jack Fawcett, and Roy Speer-for their part in winning the city football championship.
