Chief of Air Service


LIVERY student learning to fly in
~ variably over-controls uses
too much strength in handling the
ship. I did it myself and that
reminds me of a story.
Back in 1922 I volunteered myself
into one of the most dangerous
racing planes I ever encountered.
1t was Curtiss triplane, called the
Texas Wildcat and boy was it
WILD!
A funny looking ship it was, with
a cigar-shaped fuselage. The pilot
-. that's me . sat way down in
the tail Of it. 1t seems the plane
had been flown a few times-but
never wide open.
was on the rampage to get any
thing that had a little go-faSt .
and some one mentioned that the
Texas Wildcat was over in a hangar
I said to trot out this funny little
triplane animal and let's give it a
try. They did q. and I did. When
I laid eyes on that wicked looking
contraption I said to myself, Boy
you surely talked out of turn that
time"
Well, to shorten the agony, away
we went. The second the wheels
left the ground. the party began.
q. wasn't flying this ship, l was
merely present! One second the nose
was way up in the air . and the
next pointed straight down =. a.. g.
then it would try to go both direc-
tons at once.
did manage to see the air-speed
meter once =. up at around ITO.
Every time I moved the controls the
ship made another wild lunge. Then
I began to realize I'd better learn to
control this thing because
sooner or later I had to land.
I thought 1 was treating the
Wildcat gently E. until 1 looked
down and happened to catch sight
of my hand clamped on the control
stick. Each knuckle was shining
white. There I was with death
grip on that STICK ike any beginner.
I loosen up the grip, placed the palm
Of my hand on the top of the con-
troll and the old Wildcat tanned
right down. That flight scared the
daylights out of me D.. but it
taught me something.
QUESTION: Does the attraction
of gravity diminish as an airplane
gets farther away from the earth?
Does the plane weigh the same at
$4,000 feet as it did on the ground?
It weighs practically the same.
Before you could find any real diff
ference in the attraction of gravity
you would have to take the plane
up thousands of miles. So you see,
old man gravity's fingers reach right
up for you he doesn't want ia
lose you.

LEG ALMOST FULLY
SEVERED, MAN SOON
WILL WALK ON IT

BIZ United Press
HARTFORD, Wis, March A.
Although one of his legs was
almost completely severed by
saw a short time ago, Conrad
Margarf, %, will be walking on
both of his own legs without a
limp in less than two months,
doctors predicted today.
The accident occurred during
ice-harvesting operations. Mr..
Margarf fell against the whirling
blade of an automatic circular ice
saw.
His leg came in contact with the
blade just above the knee. The
blade bit into the flesh, cut
through the bone and nearly en-
erged from the other side of the
leg before the power could be
cut off.
Mr.. Margarf's injury was treated
by DR.. j. Gregg Hoffman Who
Joined the ends of the bone, fas-
tened them with silver plates,
sewed the tendons and placed the
limb in a cast.
After less than three weeks,
complete circulation has been re-
stored in the leg.

Il is also poorly lighted.
Meeting in the Railways is an old
story to several classes in the COM
mercial department. Typewriting
students in particular find working
under such circumstances very try
ing. Also. there are more students
than there are typewriters and al
WAYS several students are waiting
their turn.
Library Capacity Only so
The North Central Association Of
Colleges and Secondary Schools has
more than one quarrel with Wash
ington, but none more pertinent
than that regarding the school
library. According TO association
requirements, the library should be
capable of seating 10 per cent OF
the student body, or 200 Actually,
the lbrary's capacity is about 80.
The school band, at its regular
practice periods, is housed in a port
able building back of the school
proper. This is necessary so that
classes in the main building might
not be disturbed. Even so. explains
Mr.. Gingery, three other classes in
the temporary structure must meet
while tae practicing continues on
the other side of thin, wooden parti-
lions.
Innumerable instances Of such
conditions are to be
found in other departments Of the
school. Abundance to many classes
have been denied students because
there is simply no room for addi-
tional members, and no new classes
can be formed, for there are no
available meeting places.
Speedy Action Promised
Study halls are overflowing and
the auditorium is being utilized for
study period purposes for many.
Yet. despite the handicaps under
which Washington is being operated,
and the additional work such con-
ditions places on them. members of
the faculty view the matter philo-
sophically.
Mr.. Gingery himself expressed the
attitude of teachers by saying, We'll,
now We know how the old woman in
a shoe must have felt"
What can be done about remedy
ing the situation at Washington
High School. remains TO be seen
Merle Sidener. Board of School
Commissioners president, has prom
ised West Side patrons speedy &C
ton provided some way can be
found 10 raise the necessary funds.
Devaluation of school property in
recent years has seriously curtailed
the boards borrowing powers and,
at present, the legal limit has been
reached.
Still. there are youngsters to be
and eventually some
method Of providing for them must
be devised. Until then. Mr.. Gingery
must continue to emulate the elder
X lady in her shoe homestead, and
Washington High School will prob
ably remain as cOngested as a
county fair midway.

recently created school board
committee on housing needs
are scratching their heads.
Something must be done.
washington is growing so fast it
actually running away with it.
-. Each year between 500 and
20 new students are enrolled while
graduatio classes total about go.
Present indications are that the
schools phenomenal growth VIII
continue, too. for some time
Originally built IN 1927 for 1000
students. the West Side school now
has 2092. Plans called for a build
ing for 1900 but architects, fearing
they would exceed the appropria-
ton, Topped of a fourth floor and
an auditorium balcony.
More Space Is Asked
A report submitted recently to
school commissioners by Walter g.
Gingery, principal, sets out exactly
what is needed TO adequately care
for the present enrolment. He
asks these: Nine class rooms, five
laboratories. four shops. two music
rooms. one gymnasium.
Additional desirable requirements
are five teachers work rooms. a
deans Office. a book store, one visual
education room and an auditorium,
he says.
These recommendations, even II
II is possible to fulfill them, make
no provision for the future. They
are actual necessities Of today. Be
hind each item listed lies a story of
an almost impossible problem IN
public school instruction.
The present auditorium seats 100. T
When programs are given before
the student body they must be pre-
sented three times. Cafeteria per-
iOds last from 1910 in the morning
until lao in the afternOOn-fOUr
periods instead Of three as in all
other city schools.
Science, Too, i'm Bad Way
Almost half the girls at Washing
ton are enrolled IN home economics
courses. In the textile division of
the home economics department 30
m-re girls are registered than there
are lockers to store their belongings.
Half finished dresses and needle
work. in addition to goods and other
supplies. must be tucked away IN
available corners between classes.
There Is but one class room for sew
ing and seven classes a day meet
there.
The science department, too, is
bad. In the four regular class rooms,
Rotations are hea- nine out OF
the 10 school periods. Glasses must
be conducted, IN several cases. IN
ordinary rOoI,S with out scientific
apparatus.
The three science laboratories
were originally designated for bio
logy. physics and chemistry, reSpec-
lively. Now, however. two are de-
voted entirely TO biology while the
other is used Jointly by physics and
chemistry classes.
No Experiments Conducted
Since they are in constant use.
there can be no outside time spent
BY instructors IN setting up equip
ment. Neither can experiments be
conducted after school hours for the
building must be turned over 10 the
janitors at 4 O'Clock. The last period
ends at 3-55.
