Although it is true that I gradu- ate in J une, I can hardly realize that four years have passed so swiftly. As I think over the happenings of these years, I ask myself the ques- tion, What does my high school course mean to me? After some thought I conclude that these are the most important features: Besides what I have gathered from my lessons, I shall always re- member the pleasant times spent with my schoolmates in work and play. Companionship means much to anyone, and when it is the com- panionship of young people in school, it cannot fail to bring one of the most highly valued memories of a life- time. The association with my teach- ers also has its iniiuence. I feel that we, of Sedgwick high school, '28, have a distinct advantage over the

THE students of many other schools, in that we have had the same principal throughout our entire course. We have been spared the difficulty and delay of getting acquainted with a new principal! each year. We have understood Mr. Flye's ways and methods, and he has understood us and our abilities. On the other hand, I have enjoyed the new personalities of the assistants, and I feel that I owe a great deal of the happiness of school life to competent teachers. The studies, of course, constitute the main part of a high school career. To name all the benefits derived from my lessons would be difficult. They have paved the way for further study or work. I cannot decide which I liked best. The English throughout the four years has been beneficial, algebra and geometry had a sort of fascination for meg French and Latin have been hard at times, but I have gained much from them, because I have learned to con- centrate, and through them I have also learned much about the English language, history, with problems of American democracy and current events, has been profitable, physics explained everyday happenings and was as interesting as it was instruc- tive. Yes, it would indeed be hard to say which I liked best. I have also to consider the recre- ation. Basketball is our chief sport. Besides the fun in practicing and playing, we have met students from other schools and learned their sys- tems and opinions. Then I may say that my high school course has prepared me for further study, it has developed my powers of concentration, it has made C OMET 9 me better able to appreciate liter- ature and art, and it has given me many happy days, spent with school- mates and teachers. In short, I feel that the time I have spent in high school has enabled me more success- fully to meet the situations of the future, and in preparing me for fur- ther study it has helped me to become a better citizen of the United States. ls,-0-ll, SEEING AMERICA WITH LIND- BERGH. We'll cover about 22,000 miles, and I thi11k we can do it in three months, said Lindbergh, as he com- pleted making a zigzag line on a map of the United States. Colonel Lindbergh was going to make a tour of the United States for the purpose of stimulating inter- est in commercial aviation. A pro- gram was made, and the time for ar- rival in each city was fixed at 2 o'clock in the after11oo11. Lindbergh was going to use The Spirit of St. Louis, as it would be of greater in- terest to the people because of its famous flight across the Atlantic. By doing this he wished to emphasize the safety and durability of the mod- ern airplane. Milburn Kusterer, the representa- tive for the tour, was to go ahead by train, and an advance plane was to precede Lindbergh in each city by about fifteen minutes, and so make all the last necessary arrangements for his reception. At 12 o'clock, on July 20, 1927, the advance plane left Mitchel Field for Hartford, Conn. Colonel Lind- bergh followed soon after. There were no diihculties there, as the field
