The Red and White,” a giant passenger plane took off in September, 1924. It had 58 passengers, a very large list for that type of plane. The pilot was elected, Henry Mosher. During the first year one thing came to dim the happiness of the group. One of its members, Philip Fanning, met with a fatal accident. At the beginning of this trip, even though we were green, these passengers showed great hopes as thinkers by having a very large honor roll. They were a noisy crew, but if one listened he could hear the suggestions of music and rhetoric through the chatter and confusion. There were a few of the crew, the strong brave ones who were courageous enough, who ventured to compete with others in athletics, but they did little of note. I.ittlc spectacular flying was done that first year, except a tailspin in the form of an assembly and a party or two. You sec it was an inexperienced group. Then the first landing came. The next year an viving, came back to time they were as they used their talents team, and others tried sports.

This strong, noisy, and intelligent as usual, but to advantage. Some made the football for basketball, as well as for the other and one orator were found in their midst, guiding star of this Red and White” and they strove onward. The honor roll, too, creased by their numbers. But again the plane descended and the second trip was done. The third year, a wiser and a more industrious group, calling themselves Juniors, came back. They again chose Henry Mosher pilot. That year they showed the world that one should Turn to the Right,” by a play.

The fourth and last trip the plane was to make commenced with 34 passengers, with Lawrence Morey as pilot. As they passed over the largest city in the world, they all yelled and acted So This Is London,” a huge success of a play. They were musical leaders having three members of the well known quartet, a girls’ sextet, and many members in glee clubs, orchestra, and chorus. They were mental leaders as well, having highest class honors. Many of their members entered the public speaking field and there again were successful by having a prize dcclaimer, an extemporaneous speaker, and five debaters. In athletics, they contributed loyal support and many active members who did their best. This class also proved themselves good entertainers in giving dances and parties. At last, the Red and White” had a forced landing at the city of Graduation.” They could no longer be carried. Singly and separately they departed retaining beautiful memories of their happy flight as an encouragement for new trails. Twenty-six
