THE JUNIOR BIRDMEN L The Aviation Club was organized three years ago by the pupils under the super- vislon of Mr. Blair who until three months ago acted as faculty advisor. When the club was organized, a law was passed forcing each member to build an airplane model within two weeks of their entrance in the club. This act was passed to weed out those who would not work. The club was form-ed to further the knowledge of the members in designing and building model aircraft. At present the club has an airplane which is partly built. This plane is to be powered with a small 1X5 horsepower gasoline motor, and the members of the club expect to have it finished and ready to ily by the spring of 1938. So far the club has a very small membership. This year the members made a trip to Lakewood to explain the functions of their club to the members. of that high school. On this trip much interest was displayed by the members of the Lakewood student body. Mr. Reigle is now faculty adviser of the group. Fzftytwo I THE CEDAR CHEST
