UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The sport of gliding has found
widespread interest. Thousands of
young men have taken part in 1t,
and some women as well.
An airplane has been called "a
glider with a motor in it," On the
other hand, we may say glider is
"an airplane with no motor"
Think of the thrill of sailing
through the air like seagull Gid
ing over the water! Think of going
from place to place without the
help of any power except currents
In the air!'
1t is silent flying, with no noise
Of motor or whirling propeller. 1t
is safe flying, too. If a person
goes through careful training, with
short, low flights first, and if he
always "obeys the rules" he is near
ly as safe as person on skis.
The story of successful gliding
goes back about half a century.
Otto, Lilienthal of Germany was a
pioneer. For three years, from 1892
to 1896, he tested several kinds Of
gliders. After making about 1000
safe flights he crashed to his death.
Percy Pitcher of England and
Prof. John j. Montgomery Of Cali
fornia are other great pioneers of
successful gliding. Some of Mont
y gomery's tests were made before
those by Lilienthal, but there was

Lives for Gliding
By Fred Neher

early gliders let their legs hang free
below, and made landings with their
feet. Some modern gliders have
cockpits, and all are fitted with
seats and places on which to rest
the feet in landing.
There are gliders with landing
wheels, and others with runners Of
much the same kind as were used
oy the Wright brothers on their
early airplanes.
One way to launch . glider Is
to place it on top Of q hill, and
then to have it pulled forward by
several men. The men take hold
of the ends Of a rope which is
hooked at the middle to the glider.
Then they run until the glider rises
into the air. Then the rope falls
free, and the aviator goes through
the air for a short or long dis
tance.

II. }. G.. News
A Greater Holmes Junior College

Having just read a recent issue of the Miss Delta,
student newspaper of Delta State Teachers College in
Cleveland, l am wondering if the students of Holmes
Junior College would not benefit themselves and the
college by undertaking such a plea as have the students
of DSTC. In accordance with President Keithley, all
the students of DSTC have pledged themselves in all
faith and earnestness to endeavor to bring 200 freshmen
students to their campus for next year. Why shouldn't
we endeavor to do the same?
Next year, Holmes Junior College will have access
to the new Music Hall; next year, Ras Branch will once
again be back to serve as head coach for HJC. Why
shouldn't there be 200 new students?
The credits that a student secures at HJC are ac-
cepted at all senior colleges; the social life and indi-
vidual attention one gets at Holmes Junior College is
truly greater than that one gets at the senior colleges;
and certainly, without a doubt, the expense involved
lii attending Holmes Junior College is certainly less
than the expense of attending the senior colleges.
This year, Holmes Junior College has a number of
fine organizatics on its campus-the Music Club, the
Glee Club, Dramatic Club, H Club, International Rela-
lions Club, the Delta Club, the YMCA and YWCA Eel
lowship Group, Baptist Student Council, the Wesley
Foundation, and numerous others. The Glee Club is tru-
ly an advertisement for Holmes Junior College; this
year, it is undertaking more trips than in the past. Ger
tainly this factor would be an aid in getting the 200 new
students.
/ think it would be a worthwhile undertaking for
the student body to take such a plea. What do you
think, students?
