S. in answer to a call for new mechanics and workmen to build good, stout airplanies which would withstand all, even the most treacherous storms of life. The dream of eight long years being realized, fifty-five boys and girls arrived strong, eager and willing to prepare for themselves planes built of High School knowledge, loaded with common sense, and guided by experience. As cooperation is necessary before any serious undertaking can be started and can be best secured by organizing, we chose for President, Patrick Molli, Vice President, Margaret Glaser, Secretary, Jacob Jacobsg Treasurer, John Palmer. No time was then lost in collecting material, beginning to draw plans, and building. We divided the work into sections and a master mind was placed in charge of each section. The fusillage was constructed of COMPENDIUM steel tubing. This was well built and nothing collapsed, due to the good management of Father VVittman. The first covering spread over the foundation was of ENGLISH canvas. We used ALGEBRA lumber and HISTORY nails on the side of our crafts, and the cockpit was well secured with LATIN wiring. After nine months of hard work, we withdrew from our workshops for a much needed rest. During the vacation of this successful year we deeply regretted the loss of one of our best mechanics, John Palmer. Three months later we returned to school as sophisticated Sopho- mores, thirty-seven strong, anxious to continue the building of our planes. Under this new regime it wasnecessary to reorganize ourselves, and this time we selected-Catharine Niemic, President, Thomas Williams, Vice Presidentg Patrick Molli, Secretaryg Harold O'Donnell, Treasurer. Our gliders progressed rather slowly this year, due to the fact that we had to change the lighter ALGEBRA lumber to heavier MATHE- MATICAL boards. Slowly, but surely the LATIN wiring used in the cockpit was being well connected. Using the ENGLISH II and HISTORY nails, we continued our industrious hammering and wiring notwithstanding that the Football team, also the Girls' and Boys' Basketball teams were composed, with a few exceptions, of Sophomores. After three months vacation we again felt a longing to return and strengthen our Life planes which would soon be nearing completion. So ! I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i !

So today we see the gleaming, through regrets that we must part, Of the beauty of the future, in the hopes that fill each heart. All the years we spent together, 'mid the scenes we love so well, Will remain as sweetest mem'ries, wrapt in youth's sweet mystic spell As we journey down life's pathway, still our thoughts will oft return, To the happy days remember'd where we strove life's rules to learn. We go forth with firm endeavor, and a purpose ever true, And our motto is Perfection in whatever we may do, But though lands or seas divide us, we will ever cherish dear, Our beloved Alma Mater, and her name will we revere. lilil To the memory of our beloved class mate JOHN PALMER Who journeyed with us to the Sophomore year, winning and holding our sincere affection, and esteem. May we hereafter share with him a happiness that knows no parting. gnzwnnucn-as-n 1- 1:0101 nz :gn I1 11:11 1 ax ni nzuqpuqooioat 1 1 1 nie 101 ngniugoznxnini
