'V V History In Flight Class History By Dorothy Redman THE time was September, 1929. The giant plane Freshman was tuned up, ready for a four-year flight through the unknown atmosphere of Woodward in search of' Education. Its purpose was to impart to its passengers a thorough course in Truth, Loyal ty, Sincerity, General Knowl- edge, and Sociability which were the con- trols of the plane. For convenience the trip had been divided into four legs, each pre- senting such obstacles as air pockets, fog, and adverse weather conditions. Upon completion of the course, the passengers expected to be so well trained that they would be prepared to pilot their own planes through Life. Eagerly waiting to enter the plane, Fresh- man, were more than five hundred passen- gers. The experienced and helpful co-pilots, Miss Anne G. Wetterman and Mr. S. B. Crouse, gladly welcomed the newcomers as they came aboard. Soon the plane took oE, and fiew smoothly onward for nine months. The preparatory fiight offered no great impediments, and so leisure time was spent in making friends and gaining an under- standing of the complexities the trip would offer. At the end of the 'year and the first leg, many names of the passengers were found on the Freshman Honor Roll. September, 1930, marked the start of the second leg of the flight in pursuit of Education. A few of the passengers stayed on the ground, but most of them were keen- ly desirous for the trip to continue. With Confidence and Experience to bank on, the inmates felt able to meet and conquer the problems which they would encounter as the larger and more substantial plane Sophomore was now being used. With such enthusiastic and capable pilots as Miss Grace Cronk and Mr. C. M. Meek were, obstacles were overcome and achiev- ments were numerous. A Matinee Dance was the first test of the course which the passengers passed successfully. Following closely after were a movie, a play, What Love Can Do, and the Soph Strut. They were fast learning Sociability. Before they realized it, the second leg ended. They finished the year much wiser in many ways. In September of 1931, Junior, a much larger and newer plane, awaited the band. It offered supreme tests which would tax the Courage and Knowledge of the passen- gers to the utmost. There were to be many new things to learn and many new trials to pass through, but our friends were not hesitant in boarding. Only a few dropped back. The rest, with Trial, Experience, Accomplishment, Success, and Fortitude as luggage, were ready for any emergency. The Kid Party provided childish recreation. The J-Hop and Applesauce, the year's class play, further tested their ability, and were met and successfully passed. As a symbol of attainment of degrees in Knowl- edge and Loyalty, passengers were allowed to wear rings. They were moving toward their goal. At the end of the year several qualified for state scholarship examination, thus proving the extent of their knowledge. The last and perhaps most important leg of the journey began in September,1932. The knowledge-seekers were met by the fine plane Senior, the last about which they must learn. Steps were jauntyg faces, smiling, three previous flights with tribu- lations and attending successes had given them Confidence. They saw only sunshine ahead. With them were Miss Amie Miller and Mr. Philo C. Dunsmore who were co- pilots for this, their last flight. First, these fourth year passengers ca- pered at the Hick Party, then they groaned at State Tests and final exams where Know- ledge put in an appearance and lent a hand, actors and actresses portrayed character parts in the play, Daddy Long-Legs , graceful dancers were revealed at the Sen- ior Promg hearty appetites were teased and appeased at the Senior Banquetg everyone was in the clouds at the Senior Picnic. Baccalaureate Services made the passen- gers more serious. They approached the goal which they had been pursuing--Grad- uation. They had learned to handle the controls and were ready for their reward. At Graduation they received their Di- plomas which signified all they had been attempting to attain and acquire in the past four flights. As each passenger received his Diploma, he donned his parachute and came down to earth. The plane Senior wended its way toward the sun to gather a new group of knowledge-seekers, leaving the pas- sengers behind to care at least for them- selves. As they looked around they saw many, many small single-seater planes, each bearing on its side, in large letters, the word Life, Each plane was suited for only one person of the group, and each person had to find the one that fitted him. After doing so he prepared to take-off. This time there was no assistants ready to help. Though the course be rough, he must be brave, perservering, and cheerful, he must apply all that he has gained in the last four Hights to this great Bight ahead--the flight of Life.
